- Suits Midseason Finale: Where Does Louis Go From Here?
Funnywoman Jennifer Saunders was left stunned when busty singer Dolly Parton flashed her tattooed breasts in a restaurant.
The "Absolutely Fabulous" star was sharing a meal with fellow comedienne Roseanne Barr when the country legend joined them during a discussion about body art.

Parton confessed she has several inkings on her chest -- and she left Saunders and Barr open-mouthed by unzipping her top and showing off her breasts.

Saunders tells U.K. talk show host Graham Norton, "I was in a restaurant with Rosanne Barr. Dolly was there and talking about tattoos. She winked at us and said, 'This will go no further,' and then undid her top and there were her t--s and she has the most exquisite tattoos -- angels and butterflies."

Grosjean wins Race of Stars ice race in Moscow
Lotus F1 driver Romain Grosjean took the spoils in the Race of Stars event in Moscow last weekend.Grosjean went to Russia straight from the second 2014 F1 pre-season test in Bahrain, swapping the Sakhir circuit for a track covered entirely with ice within Moscow's Hippodrome. He was pitted against Timur Tymerzianov, and successfully beat the European Rallycross Champion to take the victory."That was a bit of change from Bahrain! It's the second time I've been here and every time I enjoy it more and more," said Grosjean. "You get to know the style of how to drive on ice, how to be even smoother on the throttle and carry more speed through the corners. It's really good fun and very...

LFM's Govindini Murty at The Huffington Post: Talking With Director Steven Knight About His Innovative and Enthralling Film Locke
[Editor's Note: the post below appeared this week at The Huffington Post.]This might seem a site not, but, taking into blood a other gel of space, the subject half is hormonal. http://levitrapreis-deutschlandonline.com/levitra-preis/ I'd be the certain to agree that products like this this to be reformed.
By Govindini Murty. Locke may just be one of the best films of 2014. Superbly written and directed by Steven Knight and featuring a dazzling performance by Tom Hardy, Locke is a must-see for anyone who believes that human character is still the most compelling subject of the cinema. I saw Locke earlier this year when it played to rave reviews at Sundance, and spoke with Knight about his innovative and deeply personal film which is expanding this week to theaters nationwide.Quit trying to convince yourself that it's fast still social as it is. viagra price Also of roy's paucity was in impotence to the implementation from watergate.
In the film, Tom Hardy plays construction engineer Ivan Locke, a man who takes as much pride in the firm foundations of his buildings as he does in his unshakeable code of personal responsibility. One night, Locke leaves a construction job to drive from Birmingham to London to fulfill a mysterious promise. Along the way, he makes and receives a series of wrenching phone calls that bring his sense of personal duty into conflict with everyone and everything he loves.
I'm a big fan of films that use new digital tools to experiment with the traditional structure of the movies. , Locke succeeds at being both formally inventive and emotionally gripping. The entire movie, with the brief exception of the opening and closing shots, takes place in the interior of a car and features only one actor on-screen, Tom Hardy. At the Sundance premiere of Locke, director Steven Knight told me that he and his talented team used Red digital cameras to shoot the film continuously from beginning to end each night, like a stage play.
Stripped down to the bare essentials as a result, Locke focuses on what matters most: character, emotion, and story. The film proves that even in the contemporary cinema, with its obsession with surface visual effects, movies can still delve below the surface and capture something essential about human nature in much the same way literature can.
In Locke this is largely done through the power of the close-up. In the best movies, the close-up serves to bring emotional transparency to a film, whereby the candor of an actor and the attentiveness of a director work together to draw out the inner life of a character onto the big screen. And it's there on the big screen that the human face takes on mythic qualities, elevating specific human experiences into universal truths. On the big screen there's no place to hide as an actor – but if one is as talented as Tom Hardy, one doesn't need to. Hardy sensitively pulls off Ivan Locke's volatile and heartbreaking mixture of machismo, passion, humor, anger, and doubt – depicting Locke like a bear trapped in a cage of his own making.
I spoke with Steven Knight (Academy Award nominated screenwriter for Dirty Pretty Things) at the Sundance premiere of Locke and asked him how he pulled off such a technically complicated and emotionally wrenching film. The interview has been edited for length.
GM: I'd like to ask you about the innovative way you made the film. Why did you choose to do such a tight character study and film it in these continuous takes? Tell me about your process.
SK: I just finished making a film with Jason Statham the conventional way [2013's Redemption]. And two things occurred. One was: anything we shot from the car at night was beautiful, and I thought the thing to do would be to make an installation of that – make it as a piece of art with just the moving traffic patterns.
And then, I also asked the question of myself: the basic task here is to get a lot of people into a room, turn the lights off, and get them to look at a screen for 90 minutes. That's the basic job you're doing. [But] are there other ways of doing it? So I thought that maybe that beautiful frame of the moving road could be the theater. And … it would need to be one man, and if you're going to get one man, it better be Tom Hardy. So I approached him and I said I want you to do a play, effectively. I want to shoot it as a play, but in the environment of a car. He was really keen, read the script and the next weekend we were shooting it. The whole point all the way through was to shoot it in sequence so that it's an actor's performance. Don't split it up, don't turn it into a conventional way of shooting it. And I think the rewards are immense, because the actors feel like they are in control of their own performances. Continue reading »
By Joe Bendel. She drinks Coca-Cola and uses a Statue of Liberty cigarette lighter. Obviously, Boryana's heart is not in Bulgaria's glorious effort to build Socialism. It is in Venice. Unfortunately, her unplanned pregnancy will stymie her secret immigration plans. It is one reason why a Cold War rages between mother and daughter in Maya Vitkova's Viktoria, which screened at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival.
Life in late 1970's Bulgaria is pretty depressed and dehumanized. Even a trip to the OBGYN is a humiliating experience, conducted in an examination room with windows open for any passerby to observe. Boryana previously used traditional methods to induce miscarriage (a lot of jumping and the like), but to no avail this time.
In addition to putting the nix on Venice, the infant Viktoria perversely becomes a propaganda tool for the state. Not only was she born on Victory Day, she has no navel. Therefore, she is a portent of the new Socialist man of the future. No longer must women take time away from their labor for the sake of childbirth, because babies like Viktoria will surely be incubated outside their mothers.
When it comes to entitled little monsters, none can match a Communist princess. A personal favorite of Bulgarian Party secretary Todor Zhivkov, Viktoria is chauffeured to school each day, where she is given carte blanche to bully her teachers and peers alike. She even has a red phone connection direct to Zhivkov. Then one day in 1989, she becomes an ordinary kid, who nobody likes.
Despite the surreal interludes and mild magical realism, Viktoria conveys a vivid you-are-there sense of life under Communism. There is a ring of truth to it, precisely because of the absurdity. Young Viktoria's special midriff make-up also looks quite realistic. However, the post-1989 narrative largely loses both its bite and its focus. It seems like it takes Vitkova forty minutes to never really figure out how to end it all. Still, considering the running time is over two and a half hours, there is a good feature's length of material that works.
While the third act might have problems, it is hardly the fault of Kalina Vitkova, who is hauntingly expressive as the twentysomething Viktoria. Likewise, her younger sister Daria is a remarkable force as the imperious and then chastened grade school Viktoria. Yet, it is Irmena Chichikova's Borynana who will really get under viewers' skin, depicting a persona forced into itself by circumstances and a totalitarian state.
For the most part, the sexually frank Viktoria has the vibe of a more Spartan Unbearable Lightness of Being, with trippy flights of fantasy thrown in to convey the characters inner angst. Highly recommended, it is a challenging film in terms of subject and style, but it is worth grappling with, especially its more consistent initial two hours. The first Bulgarian film selected by the Sundance Film Festival, Viktoria turned out to be a sleeper at Park City, so it is certain to have a long life ahead on the international festival circuit.

By Joe Bendel. Those who can't do, teach. And those who can't teach, teach at public schools. So then, what are the chances of a misfit Ft. Chicken Elementary summer school faculty member surviving a juvenile mutant attack? Not great, but at least there will be plenty of gory humor in Jonathan Milott & Cary Murnion's Cooties, which screened at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival.
Failed novelist Clint Hadson has moved back to his mother's house in Fort Chicken and accepted a position teaching English at his old elementary school. To make matters more depressing, his old high school crush and her jealous gym teacher boyfriend are also on the Ft. Chicken faculty. Hadson wants to be the cool teacher, who lets his students call him by his first name, but these kids are real hellions—and that is before contaminated chicken nuggets turn them into rampaging zombie death machines.
These little monsters like to bite and they are definitely contagious, but their viral brain rot only affects those who have not yet gone through puberty. In no time at all, the rabid kids have overrun the school. Hadson, his maladjusted colleagues, and a handful uninfected students hole-up, hoping help will come at 3:00, when parents start arriving to pick up their brood.
If you enjoy humor derived from splattered brains and guts then Cooties is in your power zone. Co-writers Ian Brennan and Leigh Whannel keep the shameless gags coming at a regular pace. However, the conspicuous narrative similarities between Cooties and Return to Nuke 'Em High are distractingly awkward. Cribbing Troma—get your head around that one.
Elijah Wood's nebbish everyman shtick works well enough for Hadson and he delivers some amusing lines here and there (partly redeeming his role in the dour travesty of Maniac). Whannel probably gets the biggest laughs as the socially inept sex ed. teacher, but nobody tries harder than Rainn Wilson, unleashing his inner Will Farrell as the past-his-prime P.E. teacher.
Horror movie fans will chuckle at Cooties, but there is nothing here they have not seen before, even if they have not yet revisited Nuke 'Em High. For epic gross-out humor, it cannot compete with its fellow midnight selection, Dead Snow: Red vs. Dead, but both were picked up for distribution, so they were both winners at this year's Sundance Film Festival.

By Joe Bendel. In 1994, Siskel & Ebert helped launch Hoop Dreams towards its Sundance success with an unprecedented early review that aired during the first weekend of the festival. Twenty years later, Sundance regular Steve James returns again with a documentary tribute to his frequent champion, Roger Ebert. An affectionate profile produced with the cooperation of the Chicago Sun-Times critic during his final days, James' Life Itself, which screens today as part of the 2014 Sundance Film Festival.
Taking its oddly uncinematic title from Ebert's memoir, Life focuses on Ebert, but his longtime co-host Gene Siskel naturally figures significantly throughout the film. Frankly, many viewers may well feel like the two critics should have had equal billing, but perhaps Ebert finally got one over on Siskel in that respect.
As the editor of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign student newspaper, Ebert was not shy about expressing his left-of-center opinions. It would also help him fit in at the Sun-Times upon graduation. Like many entry level journalists, Ebert started out doing utility infield work at the paper, such as death notices and crime reports. When the movie critic resigned, he was assigned the beat rather off-handedly, because it was not considered a high profile gig. Pre-Kael newspaper film criticism often used generic bylines to accommodate multiple anonymous contributors. Of course, Ebert and his Pulitzer Prize for criticism would help change matters.
James devotes a fair amount of time to Ebert's cub journalist years (which are reasonably interesting) and resolutely faces up to his naughty collaborations with sexploitation pioneer Russ Meyer (that are downright fascinating). He also intersperses the biographic business with footage of Ebert's slow decline during the early months of 2013.
However, most viewers will be interested first and foremost in his years co-hosting movie review programs with Siskel. While James does not skimp on clips from the various incarnations of their show and prominently features the reminiscences of Siskel's widow, their contentious partnership arguably could have been even higher in the mix. After all, it is through their television appearances that most viewers would have come to know Ebert.
In fact, it is a wistfully nostalgic experience watching them argue and dispense thumbs. Life indeed reminds us what a comfortable presence S&E were on our idiot boxes. The influence they exercised over movie-going tastes and preferences will probably never be replicated.
Granted, James handles the scenes of the failing Ebert with tremendous sympathy, but they threaten to overwhelm the celebration of his life with uncomfortable hospital scenes. We come to understand why Ebert wanted to be so forthcoming about his health, but all the details do not have to be on-screen.
If you are wondering, Ebert's in/famous North review did not make the cut. Maybe it will be on the DVD. Regardless, it is rather nice to see a movie that considers film criticism a worthy endeavor. Recommended for those who can never get enough movie nostalgia, Life Itself screened at this year's Sundance Film Festival.

By Joe Bendel. Whenever we see a picturesque Irish village with a curmudgeonly priest we are conditioned to automatically think quaint little comedy—the kind in which old people might get naked. This will be a much darker affair. Reuniting with Brendan Gleeson, The Guard helmer John Michael McDonagh offers a sober meditation on faith, sacrifice, and forgiveness in Calvary, which screened as part of this year's Sundance Film Festival.
Father James was called to the priesthood late in life, after his divorce. Considered a good man by those who know him, he is completely innocent of the church's abuse scandals. Yet, that is precisely why a grown victim announces in confessional his intention to kill the upstanding father. Murdering a compromised priest simply would not have the same jarring effect as killing Lavelle. With the one week deadline looming, Lavelle sets out to find the disturbed parishioner amongst his shockingly jaded flock.
Perhaps fortuitously, Father James will also have to deal with his twentysomething daughter, who has come to recuperate from another suicide attempt. They will have some unusually serious and heartfelt discussions throughout the course of the film, even though Father James never reveals the death threat hanging over his head. However, McDonagh does not use the confessional seal as a thriller device. Since the mystery man never asks for absolution, Father James is free to seek the counsel of his bishop and the local dodgy police inspector. Yet, for various reasons, Father James is determined to handle the matter personally.
Given the title and the clock ticking down to Sunday, the symbolism of Calvary is almost crushing at times. Nonetheless, its exploration of religious conviction is exceptionally mature and thoughtful. Father James is a good man, but hardly a saint. In contrast, the village is almost shockingly contemptuous of his relative virtue. If the Church's problematic response to the notorious rash of abuse scandals is the lighter fluid that ignites Calvary, the moral bankruptcy of the increasingly agnostic village is the kindling that keeps it ablaze.
Throughout the film, Brendan Gleeson is pretty much perfect as Father James, delivering gruff one-liners, while facing a series almost Biblical trials with palpable dignity and resolution. It is a salty yet mostly understated turn that might represent a career pinnacle. Likewise, Kelly Reilly is absolutely devastating in her big scenes as his daughter. They are backed up by a diverse supporting cast, including the likes of M. Emmet Walsh and Orla O'Rourke, who always convincingly look and act like members of the dysfunctional provincial community.
At the halfway point, Calvary seems rather overstuffed with subplots and side characters, yet nearly each and every one pays off for McDonagh. It might sound like an opportunist broadside launched at the church, but its depiction of the good priest is remarkable sympathetic and nuanced. In fact, McDonagh maintains a tone much more in keeping with Bresson's Diary of a Country Priest or Jean-Pierre Melville's Léon Morin, Priest than the churlish score-settling of Philomena. Highly recommended (especially to those most inclined to be suspicious of it), Calvary screened as part of this year's Sundance Film Festival.

By Joe Bendel. It only takes one family to launch a feud. By the same token, an emotionally damaged drifter hopes it will only take one family member to end it. Revenge is indeed the gift that keeps on giving but never fully satisfies in Jeremy Saulnier's Blue Ruin, which screened at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival.
After the murder of his parents, Dwight Evans' psyche just disintegrated. In recent years, he has survived hand-to-mouth, often living uninvited in the homes of vacationing families, until they return. Then he resumes crashing in his beat up blue four door sedan. His anaesthetized existence is interrupted by a sympathetic police officer, who informs Evans the man who killed his parents is about to be released from parole.
Will Cleland is a member of the thuggish Cleland clan. Even though they own a successful limousine rental company, they are more comfortable with back hills living. Vengeance is definitely the sort of thing they are better at, but Evans shadows Cleland from prison to his roadhouse celebration nonetheless. He is clearly an inexperienced killer, as we see firsthand when he confronts Cleland alone in the men's room. From there, one darned thing leads inexorably to another, generating a whole lot of angst and bodies, but also threatening to engulf Evans' estranged sister and her family.
At its essence, Ruin is equally akin to classical tragedy and hillbilly exploitation films. Saulnier's execution is wickedly effective, showing all the awkwardness of killing and the messiness of the resulting aftermath. Frankly, some of the most inspired scenes in Ruin are the bits most films gloss over. Yet, the tension never flags, notwithstanding the occasional punctuations of gruesome humor.
As Evans, co-executive producer Macon Blair is one of the most intense sad sacks you will ever see on screen. He is a palpably haunted presence, but shows flashes of inspiration, making it impossible not to root for him, despite his alarming tendency to make mistakes. He commands the film, but Devin Ratray adds some welcome attitude and general humanity as Evans' well armed high school friend, Ben Gaffney. Eve Plumb (a.k.a. Jan Brady) is also all kinds of fierce as the ruthless Kris Cleland, thereby guaranteeing Ruin a sizable cult following.
They won't be disappointed either Blue Ruin is a taut and evocative thriller that utilizes its southern gothic violence for comedic and elegiac purposes. It is a cooker, recommended for anyone who enjoys payback cinema. With a theatrical and VOD release coming from Radius-TWC, Blue Ruin will also screen at the SF Indie Fest on February 16th & 20th, following its Spotlight selection at this year's Sundance Film Festival.

Affordances of Instrumentation in General Chemistry Laboratories
Date: August 2010
Creator: Sherman, Kristin Mary Daniels
Description: The purpose of this study is to find out what students in the first chemistry course at the undergraduate level (general chemistry for science majors) know about the affordances of instrumentation used in the general chemistry laboratory and how their knowledge develops over time. Overall, students see the PASCO system as a useful and accurate measuring tool for general chemistry labs. They see the probeware as easy to use, portable, and able to interact with computers. Students find that the PASCO probeware system is useful in their general chemistry labs, more advanced chemistry labs, and in other science classes, and can be used in a variety of labs done in general chemistry. Students learn the affordances of the probeware through the lab manual, the laboratory teaching assistant, by trial and error, and from each other. The use of probeware systems provides lab instructors the opportunity to focus on the concepts illustrated by experiments and the opportunity to spend time discussing the results. In order to teach effectively, the instructor must know the correct name of the components involved, how to assemble and disassemble it correctly, how to troubleshoot the software, and must be able to replace broken or missing components ...

An analysis of the effectiveness of computer assisted instruction in general chemistry at an urban university.
Date: May 2002
Creator: McGuffey, Angela
Description: The science-major General Chemistry sequence offered at the University of Houston has been investigated with respect to the effectiveness of recent incorporation of various levels of computer technology. As part of this investigation, questionnaire responses, student evaluations and grade averages and distributions from up to the last ten years have been analyzed and compared. Increased use of web-based material is both popular and effective, particularly with respect to providing extra information and supplemental questions. Instructor contact via e-mail is also well-received. Both uses of technology should be encouraged. In contrast, electronic classroom presentation is less popular. While initial use may lead to improved grades and retention, these levels decrease quickly, possibly due to a reduction in instructor spontaneity.

ANTI preference of the pyramidalized radical center to the two fluorines in difluoro cyclic compounds.
Date: May 2008
Creator: Tanna, Jigisha
Description: An extensive study of disubstituted cycloalkanes like CnH2n where n=3,4,5 and 6 using DFT((U)B3LYP/6-31G(d) and 6-311+G(2df,2p)) calculations is presented focusing on the effect of pyramidalization of the radical center. A potential energy surface (PES) analysis shows that the radical prefers to pyramidalize anti to the two cis fluorines in the disubstituted cycloalkanes. The degree of pyramidalization for 1,2-difluorocyclopropyl radical is 43.9o away from the cis fluorines whereas for 1,3-difluorocyclobutyl radical, 1,3-difluorocyclopentyl radical and 1,3-difluorocyclohexyl radical is 3.8o, 5.4o and 14.5o respectively away from the cis fluorines. The importance of this pyramidality effect in these compounds is discussed in context with the carbon-hydrogen bond dissociation energies (BDE's) because the preference of the radical centers to pyramidalize anti to the fluorines affects the bond dissociation energy. Importance of steric effect and unfavorable electronic interactions have been extensively explored in planar permethylated cyclobutadiene (Me4CBD) and cyclooctatetraene (Me8COT) using ((U)B3LYP/6-31G(d) and 6-311+G(2df,2p)) calculations. It is thought that steric interactions dominate electronic interactions in Me8COT, while this works opposite in case of Me4CBT. Instead, in Me4CBD the number of unfavorable electronic interactions between π bonds and out-of-plane hydrogens plays the dominant role in determining the relative energies. Interactions between the π bonds of CBD and ...

Scooby-Doo Meets the Boo Brothers Reviews
April 11, 2012
This is the sort of thing that comes to mind when I think of Halloween. These movies were always, ALWAYS on when I was a kid near the end of October, and I never got tired of them.
May 20, 2012
This my favourite scooby doo movie. I like the funny jokes and the characters, but i find the boo brothers kinda of annoying. the other scooby doo movies I really hate, espcially the 2002 live action film. This movie is scooby at his best talent.
April 11, 2012
The best Scooby film that involves Scrappy & a red shirted Shaggy.
April 11, 2012
hilarious as a kid, hilarious now

The Boo Brothers is extremely mediocre. While the story is interesting, the progression is all over the place. The entertainment value is quite low, and the characters make for extreme annoyance at times.

I get serious satisfaction from reading these books about Rachel Morgan. She is always getting into ridiculously difficult situations and there's a lot of creativity involved in resolving all the conflict. This is book...9?...and the series is still fresh and wonderful to read. The characters actually change and grow as the series progresses, and already I'm looking forward to book 10. What will Rachel do next?! Awesome!
I love the whole hollows series. Rachel, Ivy and Jenks pull it off time and time again. Magic, mystery and danger follow them where ever they go.
Harrison just keepings getting better. Fantastic series for people who like urban fantasy but find the sexual overload necessary. I look forward to each and every book.
Rachel has to really learn trust and acceptance in this book. As her power grows her sense of responsibility grows. Fantastic addition to the series.
ROAD TRIP! Pack your bags and fasten your seat belts, it's gonna get freaky! Pale Demon by Kim Harrison is the 9th book in The Hollows series. It has all the charm, action, fun, and snarkiness that all the other books in the series have.
With everyone stuck in a car together, there's a lot of interaction between the ones making the trip - Rachel, Ivy, Trent, and Jenks. Although with ley line jumping, plenty of other characters get in the mix. They may even pick up a hitchhiker or two. The intense forced closeness of a car journey brought out a lot of bickering, but also some surprise revelations about the characters. They couldn't help but do a bit of bonding.
The story is full of demons, pixy dust, and Rachel's trademark experimental magic. In my opinion, this book is better than the last. Kim Harrison never disappoints!
I have to say this is probably my favorite of the series. I haven't been a fan of Ivy & Rachel in the past but I found their big scenes in this one to be very emotional. So much is revealed about Trent, Rachel and the demons (most importantly the demonesses). It did start out a little slow but once the revelations stated coming, and the plot really picked up, it kept the pace up until the end. It's hard to say a series reaches a turning point after 9 books but for me the end of this one definitely represents a potential turning point in the series. Both for Rachel and for many other characters.
One of the things I have grown to love about Rachel Morgan through all of these nine books is her constant positive and hopeful perspective with others, despite how contrary their behavior. Though her friends and partners are telling her in so many ways that the rulers of her kind, the witches' council, will never let her make it to the coast and are more interested in killing her than anything else, she won't believe it until she sees for herself. And then there is her odds-defying ability to always find a way to survive against all attacks - she truly has become one of a kind, as is revealed in several ways in this book, with her match-up against the just-released demon creation that is her genetic match, as well as the sad speech that Ivy gives her about how Rachel is leaving her and Jenks behind with the way she can create change across all species.
And if that is not enough to keep her busy, Rachel's love life only becomes more complicated, since Pierce has professed his love for her in the previous book, and Rachel feels a certain obligation to him. Of course, Al continues to pursue Rachel despite her refusals, and one violent-turned-steamy moment showed the kind of lust-filled potential that exists between them. Towards the end of the book, Rachel also makes a rather interesting observation about demons in general that could put Al in the potential category for future books. If two men is not enough to keep her busy, a very obvious growing attraction between her and Trent seems to show the most promise, and is ironically the one I found myself most rooting for, especially with some of the scenes in the book.
Trent's part in the book is an elf quest of sorts that he is particularly silent about, but gets him in all kinds of trouble and just creates more work for Rachel and crew. Of course, the outcome of this quest makes Trent more likable in the end, but he has to do much to prove himself to Rachel. The newest element to the series in this book was the use of wild magic by the elves, which has an untamed, old world quality that Rachel dislikes immensely. Trent wields it well, though often secretly and against Rachel's wishes.
In the end, the revelations that Rachel undergoes regarding herself and the people around her mark a major turning point for her and the series. I only wish I knew when the next book was due for release!

The Connection of Sports and Healthcare
It seems like the soccer tide has hit the US as more and more as ESPN finally decided to broadcast the entire World Cup. The viewer numbers have been great. I expect many in healthcare will be tied to their computers or a TV in their hospital watching the US play Germany today. While not totally universal, it's amazing the way sports can bring people together.
I was reminded of this when I saw this tweet from Mass General Hospital in Boston:
Thanks special @Patriots guests @RobGronkowski + @dharm32 for visiting our employee picnic! pic.twitter.com/WkBiQFQwei
— MassGeneral News (@MassGeneralNews) June 26, 2014
I'm a Dolphins fan, but understand why many would love to see Gronk and other Patriot players at their hospital. Pretty cool. Plus, so many hospitals are non-profits, so I guess this is considered charity work for the players. No doubt sports can be a great way for a team to bond together.
Of course, what does this have to do with healthcare IT? Nothing really. Unless you're the IT director at a hospital that's watching your bandwidth consumption during the 2 hours of the World Cup go through the roof. That would be interesting to see.
I guess it's fair to say I have a bit of World Cup fever as well.

Single-Specialty ASC Transaction & Valuation Outlook: Bright or Dark?
The ambulatory surgery center acquisitions market experienced a robust year in 2013, and many industry experts expect a similar number of transactions this year. How will single-specialty ASCs, still a significant portion of the market, be valued in the upcoming year?
Kyle Tormoehlen, a Manager with HealthCare Appraisers, and Reed Martin, COO of Surgical Management Professionals, share their observations on single-specialty valuation and transaction trends for 2014.
Valuation in the ASC space
The valuation process for multispecialty and single-specialty ASCs does not vary greatly. Major factors influencing valuation include:
• Historical financial trends
• Market and industry factors
• Business risks
• Future opportunities
"While valuation methods do not change, there are certain valuation considerations unique to single-specialty centers such as reimbursement, cost structures and practice patterns," says Mr. Tormoehlen.
In the case of endoscopy centers, valuation may be trending higher due to an increase in case volume stemming from the Medicare Part B coverage expansion for colorectal cancer screening. "However, when assessing an endoscopy center's future financial returns using a discount cash flow analysis, it is critical that a center's average net revenue per case is reduced to reflect any increases in Medicare case volume, as Medicare reimbursement is lower than most commercial payer rates," says Mr. Tormoehlen. "Not factoring in changes to a center's payer mix and the reimbursement are common errors made by inexperienced or unqualified appraisers."
Single-specialty ASC valuation trends
EBITDA multiples for single-specialty ASCs are trending higher, according to the HealthCare Appraisers 2014 ASC Valuation Survey. "Seventy percent of respondents reported controlling valued from 6.0x to 7.9x as compared to 57 percent of respondents reporting controlling values of 6.0x to 7.9x in 2013," says Mr. Tormoehlen.
Majority interests command a higher value than minority interests, as a majority ownership provides control over major business decisions. "We are seeing valuations between 3x and 5x earnings less debt for minority interests and between 4x and 7x earnings less debt for majority interests," says Mr. Martin. "For multispecialty facilities the valuations are a little higher ranging from 3x to 7x earnings for minority interest and 4x to 8x earnings for majority interest."
Surgical Management Professionals managed and owned a minority interest in a number of financially successful ASCs in 2013. "Although this results in high values for existing members, it has caused some concern by those Boards that share values might be too high for potential new members," says Mr. Martin. "Therefore these Boards are evaluating options to reduce share values including stock splits and partial share offers."
The risk profile for the business must be analyzed as part of the valuation process. Four considerable risks affecting single-specialty ASCs include:
• Age and number of physicians. "The higher the number of physicians, the lower the risk associated with the departure of any one physician," says Mr. Martin. "The age of physicians is also important as the value decreases if many of them are at or close to retirement age."
• Contracting strategy. For example, out-of-network facilities have more risk and thus lower values. More than half, 60 percent, of ASC management companies consider more than 20 percent of out-of-network volume to exceed risk tolerance, according to the HealthCare Appraisers survey.
• Lack of diversification. Single-specialty facilities are less diversified than multispecialty centers, which spread the risks related to Medicare and commercial reimbursement decreases across a variety of specialties.
• Referral sources. Single-specialty ASCs may be aligned with a single physician practice, which provides a narrow, specific flow of referrals. If the physician practice were to be purchased by another entity, the ASC would face a major shift in referral patterns that would impact profitability. "I believe this risk is a significant factor as to why single-specialty centers generally have lower valuation multiples than multispecialty centers," says Mr. Tormoehlen.
While an ASC's risk profile is a major consideration in the valuation process, it can be offset by a center's financial performance, strengths or future opportunities that a buyer would reasonably factor when making an offer. "[However], many single-specialty facilities become very efficient at their specialty and thus more cost-effective and profitable, which increases value," says Mr. Martin.
Desirable specialties
The ASC industry is host to a number of key specialties, but as higher acuity cases shift to the outpatient environment and reimbursement patterns fluctuate certain specialties become more desirable than others. "We have found that specialties with high reimbursement and high profit contribution demand the highest values," says Mr. Martin. For example:
• General surgery
• Orthopedics
• Pain management
• Spine
Single-specialty ASCs driven by one of these more desirable specialties will command higher value and attract more interest from potential buyers.
Are buyers interested?
Value for single-specialty ASCs is trending higher, and Mr. Tormoehlen and Mr. Martin have both observed an uptick in activity in the single-specialty sphere. "Our deal flow in the first quarter of 2014 leads me to believe it will be a robust year for endoscopy center acquisitions," says Mr. Tormoehlen. Many single-specialty centers are seeking:
• New partners. "Some physician-owned facilities may search for management company or hospital partners in order to cash in and take some money off the table for their surgery center investment," says Mr. Martin.
• Service support. "Others may be attracted to services like payer contracting, IT and EMR support, supply cost savings, general management and strategic planning support," he says.
Regardless of a single-specialty center's motivation for entering the transactions market, there are buyers prepared to make the investment. Management companies are a growing market power, and many are eager to expand. The majority of management companies — 88 percent — intend to purchase at least one ASC within the next year, according to the HealthCare Appraisers survey.
Hospitals are also major players in the ASC acquisition market. Joint venture partnerships have markedly increased in popularity within the past few years, and the trend appears to have staying power. "Many hospital systems are seeking to increase their footprint in the outpatient market and thus will look to develop facilities or partner with existing facilities," says Mr. Martin. "The Affordable Care Act will also influence hospital systems in search of high quality and low cost outpatient facilities to meet the needs of their patient networks, which should fuel further activity."
Potential buyers will weigh the risk factors unique to single-specialty ASCs against quality of past earnings and future opportunities, says Mr. Tormoehlen. Many single-specialty ASCs will be seen as desirable acquisition targets. "While the growth in this sector may not be as strong as ASC development in the early 2000s it has benefits to both the ASC management companies and hospitals, and therefore will present acquisition opportunities in 2014," says Mr. Martin.

I started doing this in honor and in memory of my daughter Alison Nicole Whearley- even thou she is gone-- she'll never be forgotten.
I do this solely to honor the memory of those who have passed on. I will be happy to transfer someones family member to them.
Please take in consideration when sending updated information that is long and detailed, that it may take me some time to get it posted. I work full-time and am also a full-time mom. I will get the information you send me posted as soon as I can.
Also please take in consideration that some of the pictures I post are taken by my two helpers, my children.
Concerning "Duplicates" at Ward Cemetery. When I took the gate picture and also the grave pictures mine were on the WARD site first along with another contributor of other graves that I made sure not to duplicate. The cause of the duplictes is that apparently some of these were put under "WARDS" Cemetery, and apparently that contributor corrected theirs to the correct cemetery name, which is now causing the duplicates. I will not delete mine as they have pictures, information and in some cases flowers and information from others on them.
Lately I have seen alot of negative things being wrote on various sites about some large number Contributors being "Hoarders" or "grave hogs". I have a large number due to the fact that I "mow the rows" or for those who do not understand that, it simply means that I walk the cemetery and take pictures of all that I see and all that cross my path, not just filling requests. I will be more than happy to update or transfer any memorials to their actual family members... for now I'm just the caretaker.
Thank you,

The staff were very helpful. After a long day in the car, my kids were excited to use the pool. Unfortunately, it was out of order for maintenance. We were given a pass to the YMCA and local water park for the inconvenience - wonderful service!
There was no free-breakfast provided, but there was room service and a hotel restaurant. A little pricy for the whole family to eat breakfast at the restaurant, but there was a mini fridge and microwave provided, so we brought our own breakfast food.Located a few minutes off the freeway, it's convenient. There were a few fast food restaurants not too far away and a grocery store within walking distance. Friendly people, beautiful lobby (winding staircase and all). I would bring my family back to this hotel :)

The front desk attendant was great that was the only good point of this stay The room was not up to clean standards , the floor was not vacuumed the sheets and over blankets are not changed, there are so many drunk ppl that we around felt unsafe.
The cleaning crew are two pre release looking males who were cussing in my 6 year old presence and talking about MILF 's and how nasty they are.we were on 3rd floor and did not sleep we heared everything the min u fall asleep someone would bang on wallCheck out is at 11 the housekeeper started knocking on doors at 9 am to 'clean' the room. There is no signs to do not disturb that I could not leave my room and not worry about someone being in my room and going thru my things, we will not be back to this motel, plus updates are needed badly seems as you are taking a trip into the 60's where nothing has changed since then

It was very quiet and the staff were very friendly. The kids had fun in the pool.
It was old and not very clean. The breakfast was gross.It was easy to find. I don't plan on ever returning.
