The Washington Post
I am a family physician. Sometimes I must step out of the comfort of my clinical role and into that of patient or family caregiver. Generally, these trips to the other side of the exam table inspire a fair amount of anxiety.
During visits to the doctor, I find myself noticing many details and comparing the quality of care to that in my own practice. My most recent such experience came via a family member, Humphrey.
A lump in the skin of Humphrey's lower abdomen had been detected. It was smooth, firm, mobile and ovoid. There was no history of trauma, and it wasn't bleeding or painful, but over time, it grew.
When it reached more than a half-inch in size, Humphrey's primary-care doctor removed it. To everyone's surprise, the growth turned out to be a rare form of cancer.
Humphrey was referred to the nearest specialty hospital, two hours' drive from home. I was to accompany him.
Before Humphrey's first trip to the hospital for an appointment with the oncologist, we received detailed instructions on what to expect and what preparations to make; when we arrived, we found that parking for patients was free and convenient.
The oncologist carefully reviewed Humphrey's history and preventive health measures. She had discussed his pathology findings with several other oncologists and had studied the literature on this rare form of cancer.
She ordered some tests for Humphrey, and he went to have them. The hospital staff gave me a list of nearby attractions and restaurants so I could explore the area in the meantime.
Later that day, Humphrey and I met again with the oncologist for a follow-up visit. She told us that she'd already contacted Humphrey's primary-care doctor to discuss her recommendations and would send her a detailed consult note and copies of the relevant research literature.
I drove Humphrey back home, feeling pleased at how easily things had gone.
A week later, having reviewed Humphrey's pathology slides again, the oncologist contacted us to go over the different treatment options - their risks and benefits, pros and cons. To save us travel time, she did this by phone.
She recommended a wider re-excision of the original cancer site, and we agreed that this made sense, so she arranged for Humphrey to be seen by the hospital's surgical team. To minimize travel time, the visit was scheduled for the day before the surgery.
Members of the surgical team indicated that they'd spoken to Humphrey's primary-care doctor and oncologist and reviewed the treatment options, the pathology slides and the recommended treatment plans. One of the surgeons again reviewed Humphrey's full chart, including preventive measures, then examined Humphrey carefully and admitted him to the hospital overnight.
The surgery took place the following morning. Before and after, I received regular phone updates on Humphrey's progress.
When I arrived to take him home, the receptionist said, "You've driven a long way to get here. If you'd like a cup of coffee while the resident prepares the discharge instructions, there's a pot in the waiting room."
After only a few minutes' wait, Humphrey and I departed, equipped with complete discharge instructions and follow-up procedures.
Our final contact with the hospital came five days later, when the oncologist called to tell us that the pathology findings on Humphrey's excision were negative. He's considered cured.
What and where is this excellent hospital, which features such smooth communication between specialists, primary-care doctors and patients?
It is the Cornell University Hospital for Animals, in Ithaca, N.Y. Humphrey is my 3-year-old black-and-white cat.
I adopted him from the Humane Society six months before he got sick, on the heels of losing two elderly cats to very prolonged illnesses. Humphrey is gregarious and affectionate, and I'd looked forward to several years of worry-free feline companionship, so I found his cancer diagnosis extremely frightening.
As a physician, I was extremely impressed with his care; as Humphrey's family caregiver, I was tremendously relieved and grateful.
I found it deeply reassuring that the hospital scheduled consultations so that we could have closure with each one. There were no long delays in the diagnosis and treatment process; only a short time elapsed between the health-care providers' recommending and getting approval from me for Humphrey's tests, administering the tests and responding to the results.
I'd let Humphrey's pet insurance lapse the month before his lump was discovered, figuring that he was young and healthy, so insurance wouldn't be cost-effective. While his total treatment costs were significant, they were a tiny fraction of what the equivalent would have cost in a human hospital.
By scheduling Humphrey's exam and follow-up visit for the same day, by clearly communicating a follow-up plan for his primary veterinarian and by giving a phone consultation, Humphrey's caregivers acted in the spirit of a patient-centered medical home.
For this, I will be forever grateful. But my gratitude is tinged with sadness, because very often the efficient, patient-centered care Humphrey received is not available to human patients who face similar illnesses.
Most people's medical insurance will not reimburse medical providers for two visits on a single day; nor can you obtain ultrasounds or CT scans on the same day as a consultation. Delay is often the norm, not the exception.
Recently, for instance, a patient of mine who has lung cancer waited nine agonizing days before her insurer approved her CT scan; her work-up spanned three weeks and five separate appointments at the tertiary-care center.
My experience with Humphrey's doctors showed me that veterinary medicine and human medicine, although very different branches of healing, hold similar values and priorities: the importance of efficient, patient-focused care; clear, timely communication between team members; the need to show kindness to the patient's whole family.
And I wonder: What if we could set up the human health-care system so that the communication, competence and kindness that made Humphrey's care so special - that made it so humane - were not only valued but also reimbursed?

Emergency Contraception can stop a pregnancy before it starts. (That means it's not the abortion pill.) It works up to five days, or 120 hours, after unprotected sex, but take it sooner rather than later to reduce the possibility of getting pregnant.
There are three types of Emergency Contraception:
The newest form of EC in the U.S. is a one-pill formula available by prescription only. Ella blocks the hormones your body needs to conceive. Completely effective for5days after unprotected sex.
Plan B/Next Choice
This one's available over-the-counter without a prescription if you're 17 or older. It works like birth control pills, but at a much higher dose and taken temporarily. Works upto 5days after unprotected sex, but effectiveness decreases each day. Next Choice is a two-pill formula where you take one right away and the second within 12 hours. The newer version, called Plan B-One Step, is a bit more expensive but is just one pill.
This is the most effective EC there is. Have a doctor insert it within 5 days of a misstep and lower your chance of pregnancy by 99.9%.
Swept up in the moment
Maybe it was because of alcohol. Maybe you thought you could go without birth control just this once. Maybe you didn't think at all. No matter the reason, if you didn't use any protection during sex and now wish you had, EC might be right for you- as long as it's been fewer than 5 days since you had that unprotected encounter.
You had a "whoops" moment with your contraception
If the condom broke, or you forgot to take your pill, insert your ring, apply your patch, or if your diaphragm slipped - anything like that - you may want to take EC.
Withdrawal gone wrong
If he didn't pull out in time, that's another reason for EC.
For scary situations
If you've been raped, or you had sex with someone who refused to use another form of contraception, consider EC.
Keep some on hand
The sooner you take EC, the more effective it is. It's not a bad idea to keep a box on hand, just in case you need it. EC has a shelf life of up to 3 years.
How much does it cost?
Over-the-counter, for women and men over 17 years old, EC costs $35.
For patients under the age of 17 purchasing Emergency Contraception, there is an additional $10 copay for the office visit.
We accept cash, checks, credit and debit.
Where can I get it?
Emergency Contraception is available over the counter for women and men 17 and older - no appointment necessary! Women under 17 can purchase EC after a quick visit with a Planned Parenthood health care provider. Remember to bring a valid state ID when coming to purchase EC.
Find the health center nearest you or call 1.800.230.PLAN for more information.
What are the side effects of Emergency Contraceptives?
Positive Side Effects
Positive "side effects?" You bet. There are actually a lot of things about birth control that are good for your body as well as your sex life.
- Offers protection and peace of mind after a "whoops" moment.
- It's safe to use. Women have been using it for 30 years.
- Some EC options don't have the same potential negative side effects as the pill, because you don't take it continuously.
- Even women who can't usually use hormonal methods for medical reasons can use EC once in a while.
Negative Side Effects
Everyone worries about negative side effects, but for many women, they're not a problem. And if you do experience side effects with EC, they'll probably go away after 24 hours.
- Can cause an upset stomach and vomiting.
- Could cause breast tenderness, irregular bleeding, dizziness, and headaches.
- Frequent use can lead to irregular periods.

vacation rental description
Welcome to the best bargain on Crescent Beach! Our stylish, comfortable condo overlooking the beach puts you right in the action, with an oceanfront swimming pool and dune walkover just outside your door. Come enjoy gorgeous sunrises and sweeping vistas!
Beacher's Lodge 206 is a 1-bedroom, 1-bath condo on the second floor of a beachfront building just 10 miles south of historic downtown St. Augustine. The Intracoastal Waterway is just to the west, with spectacular sunsets and quieter waters for kayaking, canoeing, and walking. And one of northeast Florida's absolute best beaches -- Crescent -- is just yards away, waiting to be explored! (Not to mention Fort Matanzas and all the other local attractions of this history-rich piece of the coast!)
Your favorite spot at Beacher's Lodge 206 is going to be the oceanfront balcony. It's just irresistible. You can hear the surf out here, and feel the balmy, salt-tinged breezes. If you're traveling with kids, you'll love this location too, because not only can you watch them in the swimming pool right below you, you can follow their progress down the private boardwalk to the beach -- all without moving from your seat in the cool shade of the balcony!
Our condo is compact but very efficiently designed, with a combined living and dining area (all with a great view of the sea!) and then a private, quiet bedroom. This is ideal if you have small children: just put them down for their nap in the bedroom and you have the entire run of the rest of the condo to enjoy some grown-up time! Or, if one of your party goes to sleep significantly earlier than others, they can get their rest without being disturbed (and nobody has to tiptoe around!).
The living and dining area contains a sofa that converts to a bed for 2, a very relaxing easy chair, and a big wall-mounted HDTV. The dining table is right next to the sliding glass doors, so you can enjoy the view up close even when you must eat indoors. This table also makes a great game or laptop space (you have free wireless Internet at Beacher's Lodge 206), so break out the cards and enjoy a night "in"!
The kitchenette in our condo is very well appointed, and we've filled the cabinets with dishes, cookware, utensils, and gadgets. The fridge is large enough for all your drinks and nibbles, the microwave and toaster oven stand ready for quick meals, and the stove is handy for home cooking. You just bring the food -- we've got everything else waiting for you!
The main part of our condo is designed for fun and togetherness, while the bedroom is nicely quiet and private. There's a firm, ultra-comfy king-sized bed in this room, plus a wall-mounted HDTV.
The bathroom, with both shower and tub option, is convenient to both the bedroom and the living area. We also have all linens and towels are ready when you arrive and there is a washer and dryer on the premises. There are plenty of extra pillows and blankets for the sofa sleeper, too! You can sleep 4 very easily in our condo!
If you're used to hotel rooms, you'll be amazed at the convenience and spaciousness of Beacher's Lodge 206. Between the balcony, the living area, and the bedroom, there are distinct separate areas, so it's easy to find quiet space or divide the group when everyone wants to do something different.
But the best part of this condo is its location. You're right on the shores of Crescent Beach, with your own personal walkway (and outdoor shower) down to the sands. There's a picnic and barbeque area on the grounds as well, and the swimming pool is fabulous. So much to do without even leaving Beacher's Lodge!
Make your reservation for Beacher's Lodge 206 now. At these prices, it will book up quickly, and we want you to experience oceanfront living at its easiest!

Aired January 22, 2009
WMP (56 kbps)
MP3 (56 kbps)
St. Louis needs an Obama moment. Actually, we could use a few Obama moments. An Obama moment is an over-whelming feeling of good vibrations; a sense that there is more right with our world than is wrong; a sense of connection with diverse kinds of Americans; a sense that clear and complete sentences matter in public discourse; a sense that our leaders have an uplifting vision for the future.
I despise the notion of trickle-down economics but I embrace the possibility of trickle-down politics. That is what I believe is taking place at this very moment. Our new president is setting a new standard for political expectations. State and local governments will be scrutinized by that standard. Our governor, our mayors, our county chief executive, and our State Senators and Representatives are going to have to spend a lot more time on their speeches, both in content and delivery. They are going to have to make political appointments that overwhelm us with a sense that, indeed-the appointee is the best person for the job.
Local political traditions are hyper-partisan. Winners make sure there are no left-overs from opposing administrations. When the political landscape changes, pent-up frustrations while out of office usually translate into bad decisions made to even the political score. Here is where Obama moments can do the most good. Imagine our local politicians seeking advice from former opponents. Imagine local leaders appointing their political opponents to responsible positions, because of their ability to contribute competence and experience, rather than their ability to contribute funds.
It is still up to us to expect more from our elected officials. It seems to have worked on a national scale. Why not at the local level?

La Jollans in the Limelight
Several residents of La Jolla are showcasing their talent in the culinary, photography and history fields, with spots on TV and in the literary world.
Several residents of La Jolla are showcasing their talent in the culinary, photography and history fields, with spots on TV and in the literary world.
La Jolla "filmmaker," Kilma Lattin's documentary, "Defending the Homeland: Native American Veterans in the United States Armed Forces," has been nominated for a Regional Emmy by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Pacific Southwest Chapter.
MasterChef, a new reality-competition show on FOX featuring judges Gordon Ramsay, Graham Elliott and Joe Bastianich, will air May 22 with two La Jolla contestants: stay-at-home mom Natasha Crnjac and financial advisor Eli Moeller.
Two years ago, La Jollan Susan Polis Schutz wowed local film-goers at a special showing of "Over 90 and Loving It" at the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla. Her latest documentary, "Seeds of Resiliency," is airing on PBS stations nationwide.
"Seeds of Resiliency," a new documentary by filmmaker Susan Polis Schutz,, will air on KPBS-TV at 11 p.m. Monday, April 1. The film introduces 12 diverse people — a few La Jollans among them — who have survived tragedies and challenges by having great hope and helping others.
Tune-in tomorrow, March 20 to watch Jonathan Shulman, a History teacher from San Diego, compete on America's Favorite Quiz Show – Jeopardy!
To mark the 10th anniversary of UC San Diego's Sixth College, late-night TV talk show host Conan O'Brien visited the Sixth College Lodge for a meet-and-greet event Friday, April 20, prior to a performance at RIMAC Arena.
Maurice Ayache, a 28-year-old engineering graduate student from La Jolla, recently competed on the quiz show, "Jeopardy!"
AMC's "Mad Men" won a record-tying fourth consecutive Emmy award for outstanding drama Sunday night, while ABC's ensemble comedy "Modern Family" was named best comedy series for the second year in a row and earned awards for two of its stars, along with prizes for writing and directing.
Although you can occasionally see history in the making on television, you can't make history by watching television. However, the University of California San Diego is attempting just that with airings of "Kamza and Bar Kamza" this month on UCSD-TV. Two years in the making, the broadcasts of the previously staged performance will be synchronized with live Web content to allow interactive viewer participation as the musical drama progresses.

Friends and
family of Glenn Thomas, also known as rap musician 'Doe B,' and Kimberle
Johnson gathered for a candlelight vigil in front of the Centennial Bar & Grill
on Highland Avenue near downtown Montgomery Sunday night.
Thomas and
Johnson were shot to death inside the club Saturday morning around 1. Six more
people were injured as well. So far no one's been arrested in connection
with the shootings.
"We are
sick and tired of this!," said Rev. Edward Nettles told the crowd of
around 40.
There was a
heavy police presence at the vigil.
We've learned
since the shootings Thomas did not perform at the club but attended as a
"I am
tired of having to comfort a friend who loses a loved one in gun
violence," said Lea Epps who helped put on the vigil.
Much has been
reported about Thomas. He was born in Montgomery and had just performed a few
shows in Arkansas before Christmas.
Now we're
learning more about Johnson. A student at Troy University, Johnson celebrated
her 21rst birthday at Centennial. It appears Johnson was an innocent bystander.
Johnson suffered a gunshot wound to the head and died on the scene. Thomas died
some time later in a Montgomery hospital.
Deneka Bullock
grew up with Kimberle Johnson.
"We went
to Robert E. Lee High School together in Montgomery. She really wanted to help
people," said Bullock.
20-year old
Clarence Young was among the 8 people shot. Young says a bullet went through
his back, narrowly missing a lung and exited his right shoulder.
"It was so
chaotic I didn't know what was going on. I guess I didn't hit the ground fast
enough. The shots came from the back of the building," said Young.
While homicide
investigators continue to search for the gunman, Montgomery city
leaders wasted little time shutting down the business Saturday afternoon. The
owner of the club's liquor license 'voluntarily surrendered' her license
to the ABC Board. The two murders bring the city's overall total of 48
homicides this year.
It was just a
year ago when several people were shot at what used to be the Rose Supper
Club in the same building on Highland Avenue.
"I want
you to use the social media.. your tweets and your facebook page and send out
messages that enough is enough! We can't take this anymore! Down with all the
guns and violence!" another speaker told the crowd.
At the vigil
attendees remembered the victims and left with a new determination to
somehow stop the bloodshed.

William Brown, president of the African American Federal Executives Association: "The public is left to judge our federal operations based on a limited number of controversial activities. This negatively impacts the thousands of dedicated federal workers who perform to the highest professional standards in the world. . . . If we do not wake up and celebrate and reward our successes, we run the risk of creating a dysfunctional government."
William Dougan, president of the National Federation of Federal Employees: "There's no doubt that stories like these sow mistrust in government in general, and some of that can spill over to rank-and-file federal workers.
"That said, no one is likely to turn away their postman anytime soon," Dougan said.
Speaking of mail carriers, Sally Davidow, spokesperson for the American Postal Workers Union, said: "The recent stories don't seem to be having a negative effect on postal employees. In fact, our members take pride in protecting the privacy of America's mail. Postal workers are demoralized by Congress's continuing failure to take action to protect this vital American institution."
Carol Bonsaro, president of the Senior Executives Association: "I have little doubt that the public's perception has already been affected negatively. The public holds a low opinion of Congress and government generally, but now career employees have a big target on their backs."
Dan Blair, president and chief executive of the National Academy of Public Administration: "In order to regain the public's trust and encourage our best and brightest to engage in public service, [everyone from] agency heads to line employees must be held accountable.
"That includes more leadership attention to managing operations and ensuring prompt and fair action against those whose actions poison the well of public trust."

CATEGORIES DVDsIt's a big week for DVD releases, no 'Doubt' about it.
Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman engage in their own little holy war in the film adaptation of the hit stage play 'Doubt,' which earned four acting Oscar nominations (also up were Amy Adams and Viola Davis).
On the opposite end of the dramatic spectrum are funnymen Jim Carrey and Adam Sandler, who ham it up in the late-'08 box office hits 'Yes Man' and 'Bedtime Stories,' respectively.
Get the full scoop on this week's DVD releases, plus our recommendations from weeks' past.
What It's About: An icy, conservative nun (Meryl Streep) and younger, progressive priest (Philip Seymour Hoffman) are the Hannity and Colmes of a Bronx Catholic church and school in 1964. But when she suspects him of molesting the school's first black student, their relationship transforms from one of passive difference to hostile opposition.
It's Kind of Like: 'Priest' meets 'Dead Man Walking'
What We Say: Any time a film gets four Oscar nominations for acting, you know you're in for some dramatic screen magic. Don't hold it against the film that its writer-director John Patrick Shanley's last movie was 'Joe Versus the Volcano.' This is a much better conflict.
Special Features? In addition to director's commentary, the DVD includes featurettes on the film's adaptation from the stage, the score, the cast and the Sisters of Charity. Nothing on Hoffman's finely manicured fingernails, however.

'Yes Man'
What It's About: Jim Carrey is an insufferable loan officer who joins a cultish movement that demands its members say "yes" to everything. He then agrees to wild and crazy things like bungee jumping, guitar lessons, and charity work -- and in the process, becomes sufferable.
It's Kind of Like: 'Liar Liar' meets L. Ron Hubbard
What We Say: Carrey's manic brand of comedy isn't aging well, but he's relatively restrained here, so that's a good thing. 'Yes Man' isn't quite up to par with Carrey's best comedies, but there's enough chuckle-worthy material (and great supporting turns by Zooey Deschanel and Rhys Darby) to make it perfectly recommendable on DVD.

'Bedtime Stories'
What It's About: Adam Sandler plays an immature uncle whose fantastical tales told to his niece and nephew begin to come true in the real world. Gumball precipitation and dwarf jokes ensue.
Critical Consensus: Though professional Adam Sandler haters -- er, film critics -- recognized the comic actor toning down his schtick for kid-friendly audiences, they were none too kind to the movie, which earned an only 22 percent approval rating on RottenTomatoes.
Box Office Mojo: Despite harsh reviews, the family film still racked up $110 million – which is fitting, seeing as Sandler's Uncle Skeeter attempts to use the stories' real-life effects to pocket $100 mil in the movie.

Intel to invest $300M in Vietnamchip plant
February 28, 5:05 a.m. PDT
Intel, the world's largest chip maker, plans to invest $300 million in Vietnam on a chip assembly and testing plant. It will be the first factory of its kind ever built in Vietnam. The plant, to be located in Ho Chi Minh City (formerly known as Saigon), will eventually employ 1,200 people, mainly Vietnamese. Construction will begin immediately. Intel cited Vietnam's progress in building its technology infrastructure, as well as the need to support demand for its chips as the main reasons for the investment. Once finished, it will be Intel's seventh chip assembly site in the company's global network, which includes Penang and Kulim, Malaysia; Cavite, Philippines; Chengdu and Shanghai, China; and San Jose, Costa Rica. Intel plans to spend over $6 billion by the end of this year on new factories and equipment, the company said.
SOA, Forum integrate products
February 27, 6:10 a.m. PDT
SOA Software and Forum Systems on Monday are announcing that SOA Software's Service Manager product for SOA management can integrate with the Forum Systems XWall Web services firewall. The integration means Service Manager can access monitoring data from XWall using the WS-DM (Web Services Distributed Management) specification, and control XWall via the WS-Policy specification, according to SOA Systems. "[The integration] allows users to manage their infrasctructure from one console instead of having to use multiple consoles. It's critical for ensuring consistent enforcement of policy," said Ian Goldsmith, vice president of marketing at SOA Software. Service Manager also can be used to control Forum's Sentry SOA Gateway.

Boston Top Doctors: Community Hospitals
Lahey Clinic
Beds | 317
Specialties | Surgery, urology, transplants, oncology, interventional pulmonology
Though Lahey ditched its Kenmore Square digs in the 1970s, it remains as clinically rigorous as any Boston teaching hospital. It's a surgical powerhouse, meeting care standards at a rate that puts it in the top 10 percent of hospitals nationally. The facility is the world leader in living-donor liver transplants, a process it helped pioneer in 1999. The urology practice, led by John Libertino, is internationally known for its ability to deal with complex prostate and kidney cancers. In state-of-the-art operating suites, delicate procedures (on ureters, throats, ears, et cetera) are performed via robot-assisted laparoscopy, which minimizes downtime. Not one to rest on its technical laurels, Lahey continues to put resources into maintaining a scalpel's edge over the competition: A major expansion in 2006 added five ORs and a dedicated surgical ICU. A whopping 24 isolation rooms prevent airborne infections among staffers, visitors, and patients who are infectious or vulnerable themselves. Annually, Lahey employees meet with staffers from Mayo, Cleveland, and other world-renowned clinics to share best practices. In recent years, they've worked to balance technical prowess with a softer side, including bedside visits before discharge to schedule follow-up care, and "patient-centric" office hours (meaning docs can be seen nights and early mornings).
Winchester Hospital
Beds | 229
Specialties | Women's health (including maternity), pediatrics, surgery and cardiology
Chimes sound throughout Winchester Hospital whenever a baby is born — close to 2,000 times per year. And whether it takes two good pushes or hours, each mom has a nurse dedicated to her throughout active labor. Not only does the hospital believe excellent bedside care is imperative, it was also the second Massachusetts hospital (right behind MGH) to achieve Magnet status, a rigorous, multiyear certification that only about 6 percent of hospitals earn nationwide. A number of studies have linked quality nursing to better health outcomes, but beyond data, it means that nearly 500 people show up for Winchester's NICU reunion every year. "The hospital values its nurses. They seek our input and value our research and ideas," says nurse Sheryl Smith, who works in labor and delivery. As an example, based on research on ventilator-associated pneumonia, Winchester nurses instituted new oral-care protocols for ICU patients, which cut the hospital's rate of that deadly infection to zero year-to-date. (Nationally, there are 300,000 cases per year. ) In summer 2011 the hospital will open a new cancer center, and plans to roll out a new day surgery center in early 2012.

Feeling that she has no space and time of her own due to home duties, Jay decides to paint. The result is a portrait of Michael based on Michelangelo's David, which makes Michael feel a little bit "diminished". They start an argument over it, which ends on Michael finally agreeing on letting Jay show her work at a friend's art gallery - with a "big" change, that is. Meanwhile, Michael renews acquaintances with old buddy Steve, while the kids are encouraged to develop their artistic abilities as well. Claire designs clothes, Kady plays the piano and Junior, like his mother, decides to paint. watch

It was Edward Norton's first time hosting Saturday Night Live this weekend, but he got some helpful advice right at the start from a couple of veterans.
Alec Baldwin and Miley Cyrus made appearances during Norton's opening monologue, with 16-time host Baldwin offering Norton some tips — and Baldwin deadpanning that his turn in American History X was "hilarious." Cyrus basically promoted her upcoming tour and twerked later on in the episode (sigh).
NBCUniversal Domestic TV Distribution has sold Steve Harvey to NBC-owned stations through 2016, NBC announced on Wednesday.
The syndicated show, which received an early second-season renewal, will now be broadcast for at least two more years in more than 65 percent of the country.
When Steve Harvey talks about stand up comedy, he can sound like a physicist. "My job is to draw an instant reaction and measure that reaction and that act upon that action again," he says after a recent taping of his daytime talk show at the NBC Tower in Chicago. "That's what stand up is. I have to make an observation that makes 85 percent of that room laugh every eight to 12 seconds for an hour an a half to be successful and make money at this. I figured that out."

New guy 154 wont lift
Just trying this out to see if I am in the system. I have been restoring a 154 for a couple of years. I am having trouble with the lift. It will come up slowly but wont hold up any weight. I have replaced the filter and the fluid is good. The last thing was to disassemble the spool valve and look at the overload valve. It seemed OK and the mechanic at the dealer thought that it looked good. I have replaced all the o-rings so I am going to try that out. any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Re: New guy 154 wont lift
There is not a lot of info on the Numbered Cubs on the server, but the 154 is covered. Have a look.. it might help. Still looking for more Numbered Cub stuff..

Re: New guy 154 wont lift
Is the tranny full of hytran? (hydraulic oil)
Do you have a 3pt hitch plus the mid rocker shaft plus a selector too? (two hydraulic cylinders)Do you have the hoses right on the selector?
Now do you have oil flow from the pump? You need to check that out. Did you rebuild the hydraulic pump? Since the oil level is below the pump i would try priming the pump too. I'm not sure but i've seen dry pumps in other applications not suck the oil up. Just squirt some oil in the pump.
I'm technically misunderstood at times i guess its been this way my whole life so why should it change now.
Re: New guy 154 wont lift
Look for a leaking/damaged seal on the piston in one of the hydraulic cylinders. I am not familiar with the 154 hydraulic set up. However, from your description the problem is quite common for leaking/damaged seal letting the hydraulic fluid bypass the hydraulic cylinder's piston.
If you have two or more cylinders you need to obtain plugs matching the hydraulic hose ends and block off one cylinder at a time. Block off one cylinder then operate the hydraulics. If the symptom persists. Reconnect the first cylinder then block off the hoses to the second cylinder and operate the system.
I have an excuse. CRS.

Re: New guy 154 wont lift
Check the fluid level in the reservoir. Refill then work the system up and down. Check the fluid level, refill, work the system, refill. Bubbles in hydraulic fluid = low fluid level or sucking air.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: New guy 154 wont lift
i must be sucking air then , because the resivoir seams full ,when i remove the plug on the rear end by the pto it will start to flow out but real bubbly and a lil dirty lookin .

PEORIA Ill -- Welfare recipients in Central Illinois are finding it difficult to make purchases at the grocery store, following a system failure of LINK Cards.
These technical difficulties are also being felt around the entire country.
This morning, thousands of people across 17 states, including here in Illinois, were turned away at the check-out lane.
The Electronic Benefits Transfer system shutdown due to a power outage during a routine check by the vendor, Xerox.
Because of the shutdown, residents who rely on SNAP and WIC are unable to use their benefit cards.
"Everybody wants to know what is going on because this effects a whole lot of people," said Peoria resident, Sara Cruse. "You can't feed your family, you can't feed your kids. I don't have any kids at home anymore, but I have grandkids. It effects my kids too."
"When I tell them LINK is down they get really upset," said Shop 'N' Save Manager, Jigar Patel. "They say, 'oh no it's really down? Can you try again?' They've been coming back two or three times to try it again."
The U.S. Department of Agriculture released a statement saying that the vendor is working to fix the issue and the cards will work once it is resolved.
They added that the issue is not related to the government shutdown.

At about 10:00pm Wednesday evening, Spokane Police received a tip that led the Patrol Anti-Crime Team (PACT) to the 1100 block of W. Maxwell.
Information received indicated Sam Banks, the suspect from Wednesday's stolen vehicle and eluding incident, was at the location.
He was taken into custody without incident by SPD PACT team and patrol officers.
Spokane Police search for Vehicle Theft, Eluding and Hit and Run suspect Sam Banks (25 years old). Banks, a Repeat Offender is accused of fleeing from the scene after an officer stopped the stolen vehicle Banks was driving. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Check 456-2233.
On 09-25-13 around 4:00pm, an officer with the Spokane Police Patrol Anti-Crime Team (PACT) attempted to take Repeat Offender Sam Banks into custody after the car Banks was driving was determined to be stolen.
In the course of stopping the vehicle and attempting to arrest Banks, he drove away, causing the officer to lose control of the firearm he was holding. The suspect hit a wooden fence with the vehicle while fleeing.
Officers pursued the suspect vehicle and located it several blocks away. Banks fled the scene on foot. The officer's firearm was recovered inside the vehicle.
Spokane Police are still actively looking for Sam Banks. There is probable cause to arrest him for Possession of a Stolen Vehicle, Hit and Run Collision and Eluding. Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to call Crime Check at 456-2233.
Previous Coverage:
Spokane Police officers are searching for a man who they say ended up with an officer's gun in his vehicle during an attempted stop Wednesday afternoon.
Spokane Police say an officer spotted 25-year-old Sam Bank in a stolen vehicle near Holy Family Hospital. Banks is well-known to police. Officers tried to make contact with Banks, who attempted to drive away. As Banks drove away, an officer had his gun drawn and the car hit the officer's hand, causing him to drop the gun, and the gun then fell into the back seat of the car. Police do not believe Banks hit the officer on purpose and aren't sure if he even knew the gun was in the back seat.
The car and gun were recovered a short time later in an alley.
They set up a perimeter in the area and tried to locate Banks, but were unsuccessful.
Banks was born in 1988, he is 5'7" 140 lbs with a medium build. Police recognized Banks because he is a repeat offender and was actually arrested a few weeks ago for possession of a stolen vehicle. Police say the best thing Banks can do for himself at this time is to turn himself in.
If you see him, you're asked to call 911 immediately.

Backpacker Magazine – October 2009
In the wettest conditions, learn to create and maintain a personal bubble of dry space.
On the Trail | In Camp | Key Gear
Keep your inner tent dry. Pre-pitch it in a sheltered area without staking it, drape the fly over, then move it as needed. Or use your kitchen tarp as set-up shelter, then move the tent. In extremely wet conditions, pitch the tarp over the front of your tent to create an extended vestibule for changing clothes and stowing soaked boots, shells, and gear. (Turn the page for tips on tent site selection.)
Pre-rig your fly. At home, rig your fly's guy loops with 15-foot lengths of nylon cord. Use an adjustable trucker's hitch so you can easily retighten guylines on a sagging fly. (Or use an Editors' Choice Award-winning Nite Ize Figure 9 Rope Tightener; $9, niteize.com.)
Keep the tent's interior dry. Spread the footprint inside the tent to protect your sleeping pad and bag from ground-level moisture, which can accumulate from condensation, doorway drips, and leaky floors. Use an absorbent camp towel to soak up excess moisture.
Pack tent clothes. Store dry socks and an extra set of baselayers (top and bottom) in a waterproof stuffsack or zip-top bag. Never let these items get wet.
Keep your feet dry. Wet skin is more prone to blisters. If you must walk around camp in soaked boots, protect dry socks by slipping plastic bags over them, then putting on boots. Sprinkle talcum powder on your feet before bed. Remove wet insoles and dry them on your quads while in your sleeping bag.
Wear a baselayer dry. Too wet for a fire? Keep a damp (not soaked) shirt on under your insulation while you perform camp duties.
Stow a wet tent in stages. Detach the rainfly, but leave the tent covered while you disassemble poles and (quickly!) stuff the tent. Shake the fly as dry as you can and store it in a separate waterproof stuffsack or garbage bag.
umbrellas are fabulous! used a trekking -specific (Go-Lite) but added a top loop so that I could hang it while getting lunch out of my backpack during a downpour. Vastly superior in moderate and warm climates, but also used mine even in a Sierra snowstorm-allowed me to hike with a vastly more breathable water resistant shell. a big one catches too much wind, a telescopic shaft will break, as do jointed rib struts...simpler is stronger and lighter.
Drying things in your sleeping bag (over night), when you are in it, will make you cold. Yes, your things will dry, but you will not be comfortable at all. I speak from personal experience.
I find that using an umbrella is more comfortable than using a poncho when it's raining.
A hat,gloves,and a bandana around the neck can make a wet day a great deal more bearable.
Since my wife and I seem to draw rain whenever we go camping, we've found that disassembling the tent and stuffing it in its bag while the rainfly is still up (think footprint shelter), the main tent body stays drier and you won't have to stuff the tent nearly as quickly. It tends to be a cramped affair, but nothing beats a warm, dry sleep:) Once the main tent is safely stowed, take apart the fly according to the authors recommendations. Just our personal experience ;)

You want Christmas morning to be special, even if you're just spending it with the immediate family. But you also don't want to take a ton of time preparing brunch and missing all the fun. That's why I like make-ahead brunch recipes for Christmas morning. This collection includes some sweet brunch casseroles, like my overnight French toast (the crumb topping is to die for), as well as savory all-in-one meals, plus a few last-minute recipes in case you want to give your family something truly unique - my kids always ask for the Nutella stuffed French toast because Christmas is about the only time I let them have chocolate for breakfast!
Don't Miss: Overnight French Toast Casserole Video Recipe
Egg and Sausage Breakfast Casserole Recipe
This breakfast casserole recipe is a real crowd-pleasing brunch recipe. Sausage, eggs, cheese and hash browns are all in this creamy casserole recipe - it's a complete meal in one dish!
Nutella Stuffed French Toast Recipe
Got a sweet tooth? This Nutella stuffed French toast recipe is perfect. Thick challah or Italian bread is slathered with Nutella (or any kind of chocolate hazelnut spread - I like Rigoni di Asiago's Nocciolata spread (compare prices), because it's all natural and has no partially hydrogenated oils).
The French toast is then pan-fried for a lovely golden brown crust. All you need to top this French toast is some powdered sugar and fresh sliced strawberries.
Breakfast Casserole Recipe
This breakfast casserole recipe is one of those fabulous brunch recipes, because it has everything you need for a great breakfast in one dish - toast, bacon, mushrooms, eggs and cheese. What more could you want? And you can make this Christmas brunch recipe the night before, too. Just bake in the morning!
Dutch Oven Pancake Recipe
This dutch baby pancake looks impressive and complicate, but it's really simple to prepare. Just mix the batter in the blender, pour into a pie pan and bake! My special twist is the addition of a sweetened cream cheese topping and fresh fruit, but you can skip the sweetened cream cheese if you're pressed for time. Just add some berries and sprinkle on some powdered sugar.
Want to make this recipe even easier? Mix the batter the night before, then just melt the butter in the pan, pour in the batter and bake on Christmas morning.
Spinach Strata Recipe
This spinach strata will convert even spinach-haters into spinach-lovers. After all, this strata (really just a savory French toast casserole) has lots of bacon in it. What's not to like? Be sure to use day-old French bread to soak up all the egg custard in this spinach strata.
Overnight French Toast Casserole Recipe
This baked French toast recipe is one of those dishes that will have everyone saying, "Wow. I have to have this recipe!" Challah bread is baked in an egg custard and topped with a sweet crumb topping in this easy recipe. This French toast casserole will be the highlight of your Christmas brunch menu.
Sausage Potato Frittata Recipe
Frittatas are a great way to enjoy eggs for Christmas brunch without having to stand at a stove and babysit them while everyone else is opening presents. With sausage, hash browns, eggs and cheese this sausage potato frittata is a terrific meal-in-one-dish.
Fruit Salad with Vanilla Pudding
Cranberry Orange Scones Recipe
A Christmas brunch menu wouldn't be complete without something cranberry, and these cranberry orange scones are a tasty choice. Dotted with sweetened dried cranberries, these cranberry scones are like tender biscuits dotted with sweet bits of holiday goodness.
Easy Hot Chocolate Recipe
Christmas morning wouldn't be complete without something warm and toasty to drink. This easy hot chocolate recipe makes a terrific choice because you can make it in the Crockpot. That means while the hot chocolate is cooking, you can be opening presents!

Warriors Watch Riders support local vets

I attend many homecomings for our Veterans. I was also at Peter Bui's homecoming. Spike Schau was NOT at this homecoming, so how could he have "seen the look on his face", mmm? I've also had conversations with adults and children about the homecomings and had many of them comment about Schau being a Vietnam Veteran. He isn't a Vietnam Veteran and I let all know that, but he likes others to think he is, which is a slap to all those who served, were maimed in some way or died in that war. SHAME on Schau for allowing his statement as though he were at Bui's homecoming! Homecomings and flag lines at Veterans' funerals are about the VETERANS. It's NOT and NEVER SHOULD BE "the Spike show". And as for Schau bragging many times about how he gets up in the middle of the night or never goes to bed at all to pick up a Veteran, to quote Sidney Poitier in "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner" to his postman fatgher, 'you did what you were supposed to do, if you had to carry that bag a thousand miles.' Again, a homecoming should ONLY be about that Veteran and his or her family when they come home or are laid to rest. PERIOD.

I am always made tearful by the committment of veterans for veterans. These Warror Watch Riders are the few who really know what it is to be a veteran, go off to war, and return home (most times to no support whatsoever.) The WWR whom I have met are selfless and there to show comraderie and support for fellow veterans. For those who are not former vets, we are fortunate to have their committment and participation in this effort. (I'm sorry to hear about the above comment/situation, but it surely isn't about that. It is about the vets.)
God Bless our veterans, past, present and future. We owe a debt of gratitude and oceans of compassion and support.
on Aug 25, 2013 at 7:37 pm
As a current member of Warriors' Watch Riders I must disagree with some of what "Member" wrote. If anyone is under the impression that Spike is a Vietnam Vet they're certainly mistaken. A lot of our riders are though. He enlisted in the Navy shortly after high school, in the mid 1970's. I've been 'riding' for almost 4 yrs and have never heard Spike or anyone else say Spike is a Vietnam Vet. I believe that when Spike spoke of the Bui, he was recounting what the WWR's responded to him when he asked about the mission. That and the mission report made by the Road Captain for the event. Spike always makes sure that riders get copies of any and all 'letters of appreciation' from families and Veterans that we've done missions for. Seems to me that "Member" has a personal problem with Spike and that's too bad. What Spike has done is make sure that our Veterans get the special recognition they deserve, be they past, present and future military. Spike isn't doing "something he was supposed to do". He volunteers his time just like the rest of our group does. He does this for his love of those who serve our country. "Member" I hope you feel better spewing that "clarification" or rant. Nothing like trying to bring someone down who is doing something noble. Big of you!!

Gritters out tonight in Hampshire as temperatures tumble
Updated 8:21pm Sunday 26th January 2014 in News By Maxwell Kusi-Obodum, Senior reporter
GRITTERS will be out on the major roads in Hampshire tonight.
Temperatures are set to plummet to close to zero last night and below freezing in rural areas and could bring the year's first dusting of sleet and snow.
The cold snap comes after heavy downpours and 60mph winds which uprooted trees and caused flooding, power cuts and damage to some buildings today and yesterday.
The Met Office has warned motorists and pedestrians to prepare for treacherous ice on roads and pavements as some of the surface water freezes over.
Southampton City Council highways department is sending out gritters to treat priority routes after 10pm tonight while Hampshire County Council says it is gritting many coastal routes.
Meanwhile trains have been cancelled between Romsey and Easteligh via Chandlers Ford due to fallen power cables.
The cold snap is being driven by icy winds blasting across the Atlantic Ocean from Canada and a Met Office spokesman said: "The next few days are going to be very wintery with cold conditions likely to bring the first bit of snow this year in southern parts."

This is really still the big difference. If you stop both lenses down into the f/8-f/11 range, the performance is fairly similar. But, if you'll shoot in low light with the lens (ambient lighting for interior shots, for example, or outdoors at night), the f/2.8 is the better choice, budget permitting. Unlike many faster lenses, at 16/17mm the DoF with wide apertures is not as limiting (e.g. at 16mm f/2.8 focused at 10 feet, everything from 5 feet to infinity is within the DoF).
If the IS is decent, it might more than make up for the difference.
And for those wishing this lens was longer (if it comes out): Crop!
This would be an ideal walkaround for me, especially when I get a 5D3. More megapixels means cropping the hell out of the images. Better ISO means this is as good as a 2.8 is today. *fingers crossed*

OAKLAND —Unlike early September last year, the Oakland Athletics and Texas Rangers are neck and neck chasing the AL West title. Both clubs are ready for this race to go right down to the end — again.
Coco Crisp hit a tiebreaking two-run homer in the fifth that was confirmed by a video review, and the A's pulled into a first-place tie with Texas by beating the Rangers 4-2 on Monday.
"You enjoy the race," A's closer Grant Balfour said. "I'd like to say we're sitting here 10 games up."
Yoenis Cespedes homered leading off the second inning and Chris Young added an RBI single in Oakland's fourth straight win. David Murphy hit a tying two-run shot in the Texas fifth for his first homer since Aug. 1. But the Rangers loaded the bases against Dan Otero with one out in the sixth and couldn't deliver.
Crisp set a career high with his 17th homer that stayed just fair of the left-field foul pole, topping his 16 for Cleveland in 2005. He homered for the third straight game to help the A's (79-58) move a season-best 21 games over .500.
"I didn't think it was going to stay fair," he said.
Crisp fouled a ball off the area below his right knee in the sixth. He stayed in and struck out, and then was removed for what the team called a shin contusion. Crisp said he felt fine afterward.
With so much at stake, he will do all he can to stay on the field.
"It's a back and forth that kind of pumps your blood a little bit," Crisp said. "Obviously you want to be close or you want to be in front, in first place or as far in front as possible. We're fortunate we're in the situation we are now."
A's lefty reliever Brett Anderson, pitching at home for the first time since April 29, worked a 10-pitch seventh, helped by Ian Kinsler's inning-ending double play. Ryan Cook worked out of a jam in the eighth.
Balfour, after giving up a walk and a single to start the ninth, finished for his 36th save in 38 tries as the Rangers left the tying run at second.
