« Protect Funding for... | Main | Proposal Offers Hope... »
Spreading Our Message
Many of you have heard me say that when family physicians work together we can be an unstoppable force. Now you're proving it.
I recently asked for your help related to three issues vital to the future of family medicine:
- protecting funding for graduate medical education, or GME;
- protecting funding for Section 747 of Title VII; and
- repealing the sustainable growth rate, or SGR.
More than 1,500 of you have responded so far, sending more than 3,200 e-mails to members of Congress. For those of you who have participated in the Academy's grassroots campaign, thank you. For those who have not, it's not too late.
With members of Congress focused on reducing the deficit, GME and Title VII funding are both in peril. The deficit reduction talks also offer our best opportunity to date to fix the SGR -- the flawed formula that CMS uses to set Medicare payment rates.
In addition to repealing the SGR, the AAFP is asking Congress to set a payment rate for the next three to five years so that different systems can be studied. Within that rate, we have asked that primary care physicians receive a 3 percent higher payment rate compared to that for non-primary care physicians.
We delivered that message again this week in multiple venues. AAFP President-elect Jeffrey Cain, M.D., met with Congressional staffers Nov. 9 in Washington to discuss the SGR and other issues important to family medicine.
On Nov. 10, I provided written testimony about the need to repeal the SGR and our support for alternative systems during a meeting of the Senate's Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee.
The SGR remains a pressing issue because earlier this month, CMS issued a final rule that -- barring a change in the law by Congress -- will cut Medicare payment rates by 27.4 percent effective Jan. 1. Congress has acted to avert similar payment cuts 10 times in recent years, but we cannot simply assume that legislators will prevent disaster again.
If you have not already, I urge you to contact your members of Congress and tell them to repeal the SGR and stop the payment cut from taking effect. Together, we have a powerful voice. And together, we are an unstoppable force.

I've ordered from this particular Round Table about five times. The pizza tasted pretty good, although they could use a little more cheese. Delivery has always been within 30-45 minutes. However, the last time I ordered this pizza I decided to pick it up rather than have it delivered. When I went to pay for the pizza the guy making the pizza took my money and then returned to making the pizzas. He never removed... view moreWas this review helpful?Yes No|Flag Abuse
Food is OK but the service needs some attention. Twice now, thats two times in a row I did not get what I orderd. This shows that someone is not listening. The only thing that I can find as a problem with Round Table is they really need to put more cheese on the pizza and then when you order is with extra cheese they ""forget"" to put it on the pizza. Place your order with care........then hope they listenWas this review helpful?Yes No|Flag Abuse

Darren Wilson's Lawyers Say He Kept Quiet Before Grand Jury Decision to Keep Story Consistent
Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson's legal team sat down with the Washington Post for an interview on Wednesday. The lawyers described the deliberate legal strategy implemented to keep Wilson out of the public eye, to keep his story consistent. From the Post:
They determined quickly after the shooting that Wilson shouldn't speak publicly — in contrast to George Zimmerman, a volunteer watchman who in 2012 shot black teenager Trayvon Martin — because it could only hurt his case… He stayed silent publicly, and when he spoke to investigators and jurors, his version of events remained consistent… As the grand jury proceedings moved along over the past few months, Wilson's lawyers — a group familiar with representing police cases — said they felt confident that they had the upper hand. That's largely because witnesses who did speak publicly told conflicting stories about the 90-second encounter between Wilson and Michael Brown. If the grand jury had determined that Wilson should face a criminal trial, they would have had plenty of ammunition when cross-examining witnesses, they said.
The lawyers also recount the lengths Wilson went to in order to stay out of sight for more than three months following his Aug. 9th shooting of Michael Brown.
Darren Wilson was mowing his lawn on Aug. 19 — 10 days after he'd shot an unarmed teenager — when he got a call telling him that his address was popping up in online reports. He quickly packed up his belongings and moved in with a relative, somebody who didn't have the same last name. By nightfall, media members were outside the house. Wilson then spent about a week with one of his lawyers, Greg Kloeppel, until finally he moved into what his legal team now calls the "quote-unquote permanent location," which they declined to disclose. Wilson hasn't been back to his ranch-style home since he stopped cutting the grass midway through…
[The lawyers] also described a period of life on the run in which Wilson bounced from house to house but rarely went out in public… One Wilson lawyer, Neil Bruntrager, said that Wilson used "certain [disguise] tricks" he'd learned as a police officer to go out incognito, without specifying what they were. He preferred going to movies because of the darkness.
Looted Ferguson Bakery Gets $170,000 in Crowdfunded Donations to Rebuild
Natalie DuBose opened a bakery in Ferguson, Missouri in June. The mother of two sank her life savings into the shop, called Natalie's Cakes and More, but sales plummeted in August after protesters took to the streets in Ferguson. She went weeks without a customer coming through her door. DuBose managed to rebound, but on Monday, after the grand jury declined to charge Darren Wilson with a crime, her small business was dealt another blow. Looters smashed her storefront windows, "sending shards of glass into the cake boxes, behind the counter and into bowls and utensils drying on a rack," according to the St. Louis Post Dispatch. "The violent act jeopardized all her Thanksgiving sales – with more than 40 orders waiting to be filled."
DuBose began calling her customers to tell them the news, and then started baking to remake the lost orders. The Ferguson community pitched in to help. A friend, suggested DuBose set up a crowdfunding site to take donations the help rebuild. The response was overwhelming. In just days, DuBose received over 5,000 donations amounting to over $170,000.
Here's DuBose message on her GoFundMe page:
My shop, which had it's grand opening this summer was vandalized in the riots. My main windows were smashed and bakery damaged. I'm beside myself, but with the holidays, can't stop working. I'm very busy cleaning and trying to repair my business. I'm also trying to catchup on baking cakes for Thanksgiving! I promise to update this later. I'm truly mixing batter right now. I began baking and selling cakes at local flea markets, slowly saving money to start my small business. I LOVE TO BAKE !!! It was my dream and I'm working hard to accomplish that dream… It was suggested that I start this account by a new friend and here it is. I do need help to rebuild and create a website, so any donations would be a huge assistance. I'm not sure where to find the money to repair my little bakery. But, even if you just stopped by to say hello. Thank You !!!! I've never felt such love.
Cleveland Cop Took Seconds To Decide To Kill 12-Year-Old Tamir Rice
A rookie Cleveland cop shot and killed Tamir Rice literally seconds after arriving at a park where the 12-year-old was carrying a BB gun. In disturbing new security video, released on Wednesday by police, officer Timothy Loehmann is seen exiting his police vehicle and almost immediately deciding to shoot the child.*
From Cleveland.com:
A rookie officer pulled the trigger, said Jeffrey Follmer, president of the Cleveland Police Patrolmen's Association.
Police were sent to the Cudell Recreation Center at Detroit Avenue and West Boulevard about 3:30 p.m. when someone called 9-1-1 to report a "guy with a gun pointing it at people."
The caller told dispatchers twice that the gun was "probably fake," but that detail was not relayed to the responding officers, Follmer said.
The video was made public one day after the parents of Rice had sent out a letter asking the city's Mayor Frank Jackson and the Cleveland Police Department to release the footage, NBC affiliate WKYC reported.
From the letter:
While we request the release of the complete video, we also ask for the media to give our family privacy as we continue to grieve and learn about what happened. We feel the actions of the patrol officer who took our son's life must be made public.
It is our prayer and request for citizens in the City of Cleveland and throughout Northeast Ohio to remain calm at this time. We ask for the public to demonstrate peacefully.
Though the hurt our family feels is too painful for words to describe, we still have faith in the justice system. We thank the community for their prayers, encouragement and support. It has helped us during this difficult time.
Officials have said that the boy was shot when he pulled the pellet gun from his pants after he was told by cops to raise his hands, although he didn't point the gun at the officers. The video appears to show that he was shot before he would have had time to point the gun, or raise his hands, anywhere.
*Correction, Nov. 27, 2014: This post originally misstated that the officer who shot Tamir Rice had not yet been named. The police released the name on Wednesday.
Jian Ghomeshi Arrested
Canadian radio host Jian Ghomeshi surrendered to police Wednesday morning and has been charged with four counts of sexual assault and one count of "choking." From the Toronto Star:
Toronto police began their investigation on Oct. 31. At the time, three women, including Trailer Park Boys actress Lucy DeCoutere, had come forward with allegations.
Nine women and one man have told the Star and other media that they were choked, hit or sexually harassed by Ghomeshi.
The CBC, Ghomeshi's former employer, said on Tuesday that he has withdrawn a $55 milion suit against the network. Ghomeshi was fired on Oct. 26 as the Star was preparing to publish a report about his alleged history of violent and harassing behavior.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg Had Emergency Heart Surgery
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg had emergency heart surgery and is recuperating, the court says. From Bloomberg:
The 81-year-old Ginsburg, a two-time cancer survivor, is expected to be released in the next 48 hours, the court said in a one-paragraph statement. She was hospitalized after experiencing discomfort last night during exercise at the court, and doctors discovered a blockage in her right coronary artery.
Staff at MedStar Washington Hospital Center placed a stent in that artery.
A 20-Year-Old Man Was Found Dead in Ferguson Tuesday Morning
A 20-year-old man named DeAndre Joshua was found dead in Ferguson on Tuesday near the location where Michael Brown was killed. From USA Today:
At 9 a.m. Tuesday, a resident of an apartment complex spotted Joshua's body inside a parked car, a white Pontiac Grand Prix, near Canfield Green Apartments, the same complex where Ferguson Police officer Darren Wilson shot Brown on Aug. 9. Blood-soaked shattered glass lay in a pile on the ground beside the car.
Joshua was shot in the head, CNN reports, and gasoline had been used to light his body on fire. Joshua was reportedly a friend of Dorian Johnson, the Ferguson resident who was with Michael Brown when Brown died.
Forty-five people were reportedly arrested in Ferguson Tuesday night as the town's City Hall, and a Meneike auto repair shop were damaged by rioters, though St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar described Tuesday as "a much better night" than Monday in terms of violence and property damage.
Ferguson Protesters Are Shutting Down America's Highways
Protests grew in size and intensity across the country on the second night of demonstrations over the grand jury's decision not to charge Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson with a crime for the fatal shooting of unarmed teenager Michael Brown.

Car Plows Through Line of Protesters at Ferguson Rally in Minneapolis
A Minneapolis march in support of Michael Brown turned ugly Tuesday afternoon when a car plowed through a line of demonstrators blocking a downtown intersection. A Minneapolis Star Tribune reporter caught the incident on tape, as did the helicopter camera of local TV station KSTP.
Here's what happened via the Star Tribune:
A Star Tribune reporter who is at the rally says that witnesses say the vehicle started honking at protesters blocking the intersection before running down a woman around the start of the rally at 4:30 p.m. In video from KSTP's Chopper 5, the involved vehicle goes around another stopped car and into the crowd as other vehicles go around the crowd. People appear to get on the hood of the car as it pushes its way through the crowd and it hits and appears to run over the legs of a demonstrator. In video captured by Star Tribune videographer Mark Vancleave, what appears to be a dark-colored Subaru Outback is seen driving with a few people clinging to its hood as it pushes and then apparently runs over a victim's leg. Protesters rush the vehicle with some people hitting its windows and windshield before it takes off.
Here's another angle from KSTP:
Darren Wilson Speaks About Shooting Michael Brown: "I Don't Think It's Haunting."
A day after a grand jury declined to charge Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson for the shooting death of Michael Brown, Wilson gave his first public interview on Tuesday. In the interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos, taped on Tuesday afternoon, Wilson said he wouldn't have done anything differently in his deadly altercation with Brown on Aug. 9.
The network aired portions of the interview on ABC World News Tonight, with additional parts of the hour-long interview scheduled for Nightline and Good Morning America.
In the first aired segment, Stephanopoulos asked Wilson to recall the events of Aug. 9. Wilson, who could potentially face a civil suit for the shooting, gave answers that mirrored his grand jury testimony. Wilson painted Brown as the aggressor, who threw the first punch while Wilson was in the police car. Brown escalated the confrontation with a "barrage of swinging and grabbing and pulling for about 10 seconds," Wilson told Stephanopoulos. The officer describes Brown reaching into the car, grabbing his gun, and trying to turn it on Wilson to shoot him. Wilson said he fired on Brown and then exited his car in pursuit.
Here are some of Wilson's reflections on how the 90-second encounter played out:
Stephanopoulos: Why not stay in the car? He's running away …
Wilson: Because he's not … my job isn't to just sit and wait. I have to see where this guy goes.
Stephanopoulos: So you felt it was your duty to give chase?
Wilson: Yes, it was. I mean, that's what we were trained to do.
Stephanopoulos: Is there anything you could have done differently that would have prevented that killing from taking place?
Wilson: No.
Stephanopoulos: Nothing?
Wilson: No.
Stephanopoulos: Is it something that you think will always haunt you?
Wilson: I don't think it's haunting. It's always going to be something that happened.
Pair of Young Female Suicide Bombers Kill at Least 20 in Nigeria
Two female teenage sucide bombers have killed more than 20 people at a bazaar in the northeastern Nigerian city of Maiduguri, the birthplace of Boko Haram, officials say. An official with Nigeria's Civilian Joint Task Force told the Guardian one of the girls detonated her bomb first, killing about three women; then, when a crowd gathered, the second girl detonated hers, killing more. Officials from the National Emergency Management Agency said 21 bodies had been removed from the marketplace thus far, according to Reuters.
While internationally Boko Haram is known for kidnapping hundreds of schoolgirls, women have also been instrumental actors in many of the group's attacks. The prominence of female fighters in extremist groups like Boko Haram might seem surprising given such groups' general attitude towards women, but that's part of the element of surprise that makes women so effective as bombers. (The explosive device can also be disguised as a baby bump.) In a single week last summer, four suicide bombings were carried out by Boko Haram–affiliated women in Kano, Nigeria. Explosive vests have been found on Nigerian girls as young as 10 years old.
Elsewhere, attacks by women have been carried out everywhere from Moscow to Mosul. The strategy can be traced back to Lebanon in the mid 1980s, where it was pioneered by the Syrian Socialist Nationalist Party. While leftist and secular organizations were initially the only ones to employ women as bombers, the Washington Post wrote earlier this year, that's changed as Islamist radicals have evolved to identify a female obligation to participate in jihad—and in fact, female attackers have become so accepted among religious extremist groups that even some male members of Somalia's Al-Shabaab sometimes now disguise themselves as women before setting off bombs.

MIHI Manna for Today
Living with our thorn
2Co:12:7: And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
I've read that Diamonds are not just created but are formed when crystals of pure carbon are pressed together under extreme pressures and intense heat. In other words until they are submitted to the pressure and heat they are still diamonds in the rough. We are I would say diamonds in the rough but as God begins to shape our lives through our thorn we are then made into the creature he wants us to be. Through our thorn we than are pressed, molded and shaped to be no longer diamonds in the rough but to become pure diamonds. I believe that everyone us has something in their lives that can be considered a thorn. It could be financially based, persecutions, hunger, poverty or imprisonment but regardless of what our thorn could be we should learn as Paul that "God's grace is sufficient for our strength for it is made perfect in weakness." Therefore as we allow the thorn to be used as a source for God to perfect us our pride will not get in the way of his shaping us. Let God shape, press and mold you through your thorn and I declare that in the end you will become that beautiful diamond that others can see.

As the nation's largest payer of freight bills, Cass manages more than $23 billion annually in freight spend, enabling us to compile meaningful logistics data that serves as an indicator of transportation industry trends. The Cass Intermodal Price Index™ is a measure of market fluctuations in U.S. domestic intermodal costs.
Total intermodal pricing, as reflected in the Cass Intermodal Price Index, rose 3.9% year over year in October. This was a 4.8% increase over September levels and it appears that intermodal rates could increase at a low single digit pace in 2014 due to a continuing tightening of the truckload environment.
According to Avondale Partners, "We would note that even with diesel prices falling in recent weeks, our 'all-in' index continues to accelerate in the near term, showing that base rates are improving at a rate that surpasses the lag due to fuel pricing." They expect the intermodal space to remain competitive, but that costs will increase as more long-haul carriers move into shorter lengths of haul and the truckload market continues to tighten.

Partners in Love and Business Travel Road to Success
- Couple Offers Tips for Love and Happiness (Hint: Fun Matters) -
Barack and Michelle do it. Brad and Angelina do it. John and Yoko did it. How?
As the divorce rate hovers near an estimated 50 percent in the United States, many blame career stress as a major cause of separations. But somehow some couples grow stronger, especially when they work together. One couple who have worked together for nearly a decade in the stressful world of theater, producing Off-Broadway plays, has decided to share their secrets.
"In part, it is because we work together that our bond has strengthened after 10 years of marriage," says Jamillah Lamb, co-author along with her husband, David, of Perfect Combination: Seven Key Ingredients to Happily Living & Loving Together
Jamillah & David Lamb
The couple has worked together professionally in their stage company, Between The Lines Productions, Inc., for nine years. But the Lambs say even couples who aren't business partners are working together every day; because being in any relationship requires negotiating, compromising, and decision-making. Just think about the last time you had to decide whose mother's house you were going to for Christmas or where you were going to go for vacation or even which movie you were going to see last weekend.
"We get more opportunity to grow together because, between home and work, we're making 100 decisions a day instead of 10," Jamillah says.
The couple live by their guiding rule, "Love like kids, act like adults."
"That means to love freely and completely, without a fortress around your heart, and behave responsibly," David says.
A crucial ingredient for any successful marriage is friendship, the Lambs say.
Here are some of their tips:
• Enjoy life: Some couples won't go to theme parks until they have children. But letting one's inner child out to play with their partner's inner child strengthens a relationship's bond.
• Forgive the small stuff: No one is always right, and no one wants to be around someone who always needs to be right.
• Appreciate individuality: Everyone needs to have their own identity, including those in a long-term relationship and couples who work together. David enjoys his comic book collection, while Jamillah keeps a library of romance novels.
• Do not misdirect anger: In psychology, it's called transference; dumping your bad day on someone else. It is poison for any relationship.
• Remember your love: Couples may fight, but guard what you say. There's no need for ugliness even when you disagree.
Couples need to remember relationships take work, but they can also be a blast of fun, David says. "Love is worth the sacrifice," they agree. "Today, with stories of celebrity couples walking away after only days of marriage and even more people living as though sacrifice is nearly a curse word, we say: 'It's worth the sacrifice.' For us, it means that we are willing to give up something that we thought was valuable or important for something even more important: love and our happiness."
Love is, in part, the acknowledgement and deep appreciation for another human being, Jamillah says. "Couples should never take each other for granted," she advises. "In love, as in business, everyone wants to be appreciated. The simplest gesture can go a long way to help your significant other feel like they are making a significant contribution to your life, your family, or your business."

Somber Start To Canadiens Camp
by Paul on 09/15/06 at 09:47 AM ET
Comments (0)
from the CP via the Ottawa Sun,
The mood was sombre across the city a day after the Dawson College shootings and even the usually upbeat opening of the Montreal Canadiens camp was quieter than usual. Players took their physical exams and fitness tests at the Bell Centre yesterday, but conversations drifted to the shocking events 24 hours before, when a gunman killed one student and wounded at least 20 in a shooting rampage about a kilometre away. "Today's a day of mourning. I don't think there's any question," GM Bob Gainey said. "When you're in the heart of the problem here in Montreal, it's more pronounced. "We can see it and feel it all around us. But I don't really relate that to the start of training camp or whatever might be happening in someone's life. It's a disaster and a tragedy that will need to be worked through."continued

from the News & Observer,
After a season in which he not only finished seventh in the NHL in points with 100 but led the league in playoff scoring with 28 points in 25 games, Staal's name is mentioned in comparison to the game's elite. In its annual ranking of NHL players, The Hockey News has Staal 14th. "It's more pressure, obviously," Staal said. "I'm humbled to be among those names. Those are phenomenal players on that list. There are a lot more expectations on our entire team, not just me. Teams are going to be coming against us every night as defending Stanley Cup champs. It's going to be tough for everybody."more

Totally Different Goalie

from the Rocky Mountain News,
If any one Avalanche player could use a fresh start, Jose Theodore would be the guy. The 30-year-old goalie is looking to rebound from an injury-plagued and mediocre season in which his name made the headlines as much for things that happened off the ice as for anything that took place in the crease. "As a goalie, there's always a lot of pressure, but this is the challenge that you live for as a professional," he said. "When I got traded here, it was kind of like a ray of light."more

Savard Expected To Help Murray
by Paul on 09/15/06 at 09:32 AM ET
Comments (0)
from the Worcester Telegram & Gazette,
For much of last season, Glen Murray was lost — a peanut butter sandwich without the jelly, fish without the chips, a hamburger without the fries. Most of all, though, he was a gunslinger without the bullets after his table-setter of the last 3 1/2 seasons, Joe Thornton, was shipped to San Jose in that controversial November trade. And it showed in Murray's numbers — just 24 goals, well below his average of 42 over the previous three seasons, although a nagging foot injury also slowed him down. That's one reason why the Bruins decided to shell out $20 million over four years for free agent center Marc Savard. Their reasoning: One of the best passers in the NHL would be a perfect match for one of the most feared shooters in the game.continued

No Pressure For Kesler

Comments (0)
from the Vancouver Province,
"I don't think this will put any more pressure on me," said Kesler, who can also play right wing and is eyeing a spot on the top two lines. "I put pressure on myself to play every game to the best of my capabilities and I've played with Nazzy [Markus Naslund] and Mo [Brendan Morrison]. I know I can play at that level if I get that opportunity." And even though Nonis may make roster decisions to free up cap space, Kesler's agent Kurt Overhardt doesn't expect to be in the GMs crosshairs after this saga. "Not at all," said Overhardt. "The landscape changes every year and this was an attempt [by Clarke] to get an asset that you couldn't get through the draft or through a trade. "The reason offer sheets are in the CBA is to encourage competitiveness. You'll see more of these, especially with the pressure on GMs and owners to create winning teams."more

Moving On Without Zherdev

from the Columbus Dispatch,
But the players weren't too worried about the Zherdev situation. "I guess I can say it's too bad they couldn't get it (a contract) done, and I feel bad for him as a young guy," captain Adam Foote said. "I don't even want to get into it, why he didn't sign or why he's not here … that's his deal. "But as a guy in the room, we have to look forward. That's water under the bridge. Anson Carter can fill a top-six spot (on the forward lines). He's a little bit different than Zherdev, of course, but he's a proven player."read on

Markov Comfortable In Detroit

from the Detroit Free Press,
On their part, the Wings don't want much from Markov: "I don't need him to be cute, I don't need him to do anything fancy," coach Mike Babcock said Thursday while his players took physicals in advance of today's start of training camp. What does Babcock want from the 30-year-old Russian journeyman? "I just need him to be hard, great defensively, and make a good first pass," Babcock said. "When I talked to Stumpy about Markov, he just said he's a big-time leader and he competes hard. That's what you want."more

Waiting For A Move Or Two
by Paul on 09/15/06 at 09:16 AM ET
Comments (0)
from the NY Post,
Asked if either Mogilny or Malakhov reported, new coach Claude Julien said that he was in meetings during the morning, not monitoring the physicals and routine. Asked if he had seen either, Julien asked, "Is that a trick question?" Then he said he hadn't. Malakhov represents $3.6 million, and Mogilny $3.5 million of cap space, which doesn't disappear this season through waiver demotion, as it did last season with Mogilny. Malakhov was suspended last December after the Devils said he retired, but even in that situation, Lamoriello would probably need an unlikely favorable league ruling to keep Malakhov's salary off his cap total. Both were over 35 when they signed multiyear deals as unrestricted free agents in 2005, and the new CBA says any years beyond the first of a contract for over-35 unrestricted free agents count toward the cap, whether or wherever they play.read on (reg. req.)

More Needs To Be Done

from the Toronto Star,
The loss of another great talent like Primeau to post-concussion syndrome reflects that as much as the NHL is no longer in the Stone Age when it comes to dealing with head injuries, it still has a long way to go. "In many ways as much as advances have been made, it's gotten much more complicated," said former Maple Leaf Nick Kypreos, whose own career was ended by a head injury. Exactly how many players have been lost to post-concussion syndrome is not known. The NHL could not produce such a stat yesterday. Maybe they don't want to know. But any list would include Jeff Beukeboom, Scott Stevens, Adam Deadmarsh, Pat Lafontaine, Geoff Courtnall, Mike Richter, Paul Comrie, Brett Lindros, Michel Petit, Dennis Vaske, Jim Johnson and Dave Taylor.more

What Did They Create

from Stephen Brunt of the Globe and Mail,
So now we know what the owners of the National Hockey League won in their labour war victory over the players: They established the right for one of their wackier confreres to sign a middle-of-the-road goaltender to a 15-year, guaranteed contract. They created a chance for a bright young player to return to Russia rather than suit up for the Columbus Blue Jackets. They opened up the opportunity for that old ankle-breaker, Bob Clarke, to put an end to the age of gentlemen's agreements and play the front-office game the same way he played hockey.continued

After Saleh: Is Yemen's Opposition Willing to Settle?
June 13, 2011
With Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh holed up in a Saudi hospital, Yemen has settled into a relative calm. But the situation is not so much improved as it is temporarily pacified by uncertainty. Saleh's aides are insisting that he will return to Yemen soon; meanwhile, diplomats from the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council, the United States, and the European Union have swooped in to pressure Saleh, even in his hospital bed, to officially resign.
The Horror, The Horror
May 19, 2011
Dancing in the Glory of Monsters: The Collapse of the Congo and the Great War of Africa By Jason K. Stearns (PublicAffairs, 380 pp., $28.99) The history of Congo is the history of mass murder. What is going on today—with rebels, government soldiers, and armed groups from neighboring countries raping and slaughtering Congolese civilians—is a continuation of the ruthlessness that has been embedded in this country for more than a hundred years.
Enemy of the State
May 19, 2011
In the stash of hard drives, thumb drives, and personal papers discovered in Osama bin Laden's compound, one especially revealing find was his personal diary. According to an analyst privy to the frequent updates of translated material being posted to the intelligence community's classified internet, the late Al Qaeda leader periodically recorded his amusement that U.S. drones were searching for him in the mountainous border region between Afghanistan and Pakistan while he was living comfortably less than a quarter of a mile from a Pakistani military academy.
Future Tense
May 05, 2011
In October 2008, a month after the collapse of Lehman Brothers—with the United States's financial system seemingly about to buckle and Washington in desperate need of cash to prevent a total economic collapse—a State Department official contacted his Chinese counterpart about China buying U.S. securities. To his surprise, the Chinese, who had previously displayed an insatiable appetite for U.S. Treasury bills, suddenly balked at lending a hand. The reason, the Chinese official said, was the recent announcement of an impending sale of U.S.
Health Care Hypocrisy
April 30, 2011
In the debate over the House Republicans' budget plan championed by Representative Paul Ryan, it's been remarkable to watch the contortions and contradictions in the GOP on the issue of health care. The cornerstone of the Republican critique of the Affordable Care Act over the past year or so has been that it would lead to rationing. While Republicans initially manufactured lies about this issue—anyone remember death panels?—they eventually focused on one provision in the bill that was focused on cutting costs: the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB).
Swan Song
April 15, 2011
From the moment the Soviet Union collapsed, NATO's future was in question. While it had been the most successful multinational alliance in history, partnerships of that sort seldom survive once their enemies are gone. As the Berlin Wall came down and Stalin's empire shattered, NATO's clock was ticking. Amazingly, though, the Alliance persisted, largely by transforming itself. It staved off a challenge from a proposed European Union Defense Force, which might have supplanted it; provided an institutional framework for continued U.S.
Step Assad
April 09, 2011
During the U.S. invasion of Iraq, Syria's Assad regime was helping insurgents to cross the border and kill Americans. In response to the Syrian provocation, the Bush administration considered a broad range of policy options. But one family of options always remained off the table: regime change or any combination of pressures that might destabilize Damascus. The prevailing interagency concern was that Syria without Assad could prove even more militant than under his terrorist-supporting regime. At the Department of Defense—where I worked—we held a dissenting view.
Big Picture
March 26, 2011
When the inspiring images of hundreds of thousands of Egyptian men and women demanding their freedom at enormous personal risk first appeared and everybody was talking about whether that revolution would spark similar revolutions in nearby countries, I found myself saying to friends, "What about here? Maybe the example of their courageous actions will shake the American people out of their long apathetic stupor." Inevitably I was met with laughter. Sometimes I felt a friend's laughter was conspiratorial—the exhilaration of imagining together that things could be different from what they are.
The Reawakening of Fear
March 21, 2011
On Wednesday, March 28, 1979, an accident occurred at the Three Mile Island nuclear facility outside of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. A valve that was supposed to close remained open, permitting large amounts of water—normally used to cool the plant's core—to escape. For several hours, operators did not realize that the valve was open, and, as the containment building lost coolant, both temperatures and radiation levels rose.
Failed Analogy
March 17, 2011
Those showers in Washington last week? That wasn't rain. That was Dean Acheson, Averell Harriman, and the other architects of post-war American foreign policy looking down and weeping on us. Or worse. The heirs and custodians of their tradition never sounded so thick. In place of George Kennan's 8000-word Long Telegram about the Soviet Union, the Obama administration's consultant and its former State Department policy planning chief, Anne-Marie Slaughter, issued a forceful tweet about Libya.

I'm not someone who needs a new couch every few years. But that doesn't mean it's not important to you! And if it is, you should budget for it!
There is nothing better than a good old-fashioned house party, both for the party atmosphere and for saving some money. Here is a guide on how to up the fun and down the costs.
Like most of us, I've made my share of money mistakes. I've been fortunate that I've been able to recover from most of them without too much damage to my finances.Here they are and with how you might be able to avoid falling into the same traps.
As another school draws to a close, thousands of high school seniors around the country are preparing to head off to college. For many, this means that it's time to get a car.
You probably know that the key to financial success is living within your means. The question, though, is this: Are you truly living within your means? Many people think that they are living within their means, but they may actually not be.
You need some sort of spending plan to help you direct your resources. Here are some resources to help you with your household budgeting.
Instead of a last minute scramble for dinner each night, meal planning allows us to have a pretty good idea of what we're going to eat most days. It also helps us save money. Meal times are no longer money leaks draining our budget.
We thought that we were living a comfortable lifestyle that we could afford, but we left out several important aspects of a strong financial position. Here's how to avoid the same mistakes.
While I don't think I would want to participate in a spending fast, I do see the value in saying no to spending more money on occasion. Indeed, I'd rather prioritize my spending so that I am paying for the things that I enjoy and want, rather than watching the money trickle away
Financial literacy is an important part of successful money management—if you start teaching your children basic lessons while they are young, they will have a firm financial foundation to build upon in the future.

Young Buck - Can't Catch Me
Artist: Young Buck
Producer: The Future
Album: Young Buck & The Future - Back For The Streets
Avg Rating: 3.2 ( 31 votes )
As his conflict with G-Unit wears on, Young Buck isn't showing any signs of slowing down. Though the label likely won't let him release another studio album till their issues are resolved, the rapper knows exactly how he's going to stay relevant in the meantime: by returning to his pre-major roots and making music for the Dirty South streets. His latest effort to appeal to this core audience is Back to the Streets (out now), a mixtape created in collaboration with up-and-coming producer The Future. On Can't Catch Me, Buck's gruff, high-energy flow comes through loud and clear despite the use of Autotune (which, surprisingly, he pulls off very well). The Future's uptempo production doesn't disappoint, but, as usual, computer speakers don't do the instrumental justice—play Can't Catch Me in the whip and you're sure to appreciate the cut's head-bobbing appeal.

Seekonk Library Trust
Facts About the Library Trust
What is the Seekonk Library Trust?
The Seekonk Library Trust was established in 1987 to accept, hold and manage donations and bequests to the Seekonk Public Library in support of the library's long term needs.
What does the Trust do with the funds it receives?
The goal of the Seekonk Library Trust is to develop the financial resources needed to expand current library services and to permit the introduction of new services. Library Trust funds are intended to supplement and not supplant public funding of the library. The Library Trust primarily invests in the capital resources needed to support the enhancement of services. The Library Trust also encourages new and creative approaches to providing library service. The Seekonk Public Library used money from the Library Trust, for example, to create the library Innovation Center. The Innovation Center offers high-end computer workstations, video conversion equipment, and a 3-D printer. The center plays a central role in fulfilling the library's mission to bring cutting-edge computer technology to its users. Contributions to the Library Trust helped make the Seekonk Public Library a technology leader among libraries in Southeastern Massachusetts.
Who oversees the Trust?
The Trust is managed by a Board of Trustees consisting of seven members, five of whom are appointed by the Board of Library Trustees, one by the Friends of the Seekonk Public Library and one by the Town Moderator.
Current Trustees
(currently vacant), Chairperson
Edward Galvin, CPA, Treasurer
Frank DuValley, Trustee
Linda Karewa, Trustee
Mari Ann Oliveira, Trustee
Ana Saul-Sykes, Trustee
Elizabeth Spenser, Trustee
Are Contributions to the Trust deductible?
The Trust is designated by the Internal Revenue Service as 501(c)(3) organization. Contributions to the trust are tax deductible. Copies of the Annual Financial Report and the federal tax filings of the Library Trust are available at the library.
Can donations or bequests be made for a specific reason?
Yes, donations or bequests can be made for specific purposes if desired. For example, gifts could support the library endowment, building expansion and renovation or the proposed library park. One particularly satisfying way to give is to make a donation or bequest in honor or in memory of a friend or loved one who was or is an avid reader or frequent user of the Library.
How can bequests to the Seekonk Library Trust be made by will?
Your will can bequeath a stated sum or percentage of your estate by specifically mentioning the Seekonk Library trust. For instance, your will could state "I hereby bequeath ten percent (10%) of the residue of my estate to the Seekonk Library Trust located in Seekonk, Massachusetts, for its general uses and purposes."
Where can I get information about the Trust?
For information concerning establishing bequests or making gifts, please call Peter Fuller, Library Director at (508)336-8230, ext. 5101 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Peter will be happy to speak with you and have one of the trustees contact you.
Sharon St.Hilaire Public Service Award
The Seekonk Library Trust created the award as a way to recognize long and distinguished service to the Town of Seekonk by a public employee or community volunteer. The award is named for its first recipient, Sharon St. Hilaire, who served as Director of the Seekonk Public Library for thirty-four years. In addition to her library service, Ms. St. Hilaire played a prominent role in the development of the Seekonk Meadows, a recreation area that was created on the site of a closed landfill. Ms. St. Hilaire accepted the first award in August 2011.
In the spring of each year, the Library Trust seeks nominees for the St. Hilaire Award. The public is invited to nominate individuals who have a long and exemplary record of service to the people of Seekonk as either a volunteer or public employee. You may download a nomination form or obtain one by calling the library at (508)336-8230, ext. 5100.
Recipients of the St. Hilaire Award
Janet Parker, 2012
Robert McKenna, 2013
Donna Euell, 2014

Originally written on Football Nation | Last updated 11/7/14
There have been several different NFL defensive lineman grouped under the name of the Fearsome Foursome. The most famous of this group were the 1963 Los Angeles Rams. With a starting defensive line that consisted of DT Lamar Lundy, DT Rosie Grier, DT Merlin Olsen and DE Deaon Jones. These men were feared on the field for their pass rush damage.During the 1963-1967 seasons, the Los Angeles Rams front four played with grit and determination, intent on getting the job done. These men were so unique, so exciting to watch because of the way they worked as a team. For the 2013 season, it appears that the Chicago Bears may be the next fearsome foursome of the NFL.Embedded in the crown of the Monsters of the Midway is DE Julius Peppers, LB Lance Briggs, DT Henry Melton and DE Corey Wooten. These four frontline men deliver an incredible mixture of pass rush wickedness and distructive tackles. They exude a killer instinct to do bodily harm to running backs and quarterbacks.

Personal Finance: How to handle a windfall
What if you are lucky enough to get a windfall? Maybe a small inheritance from a long-lost cousin, or even something modest like a $2,000 tax refund or the $10,000 bonus Boeing machinists recently received for signing a new contract.
For most Americans, $2,000 or $10,000 is a nice treat — not life changing, but a chance to pamper yourself or catch up with finances you've been neglecting. But how do you make this one-time windfall count? Ideally, this would be the time to start saving for retirement or to fulfill your promise to yourself to save more.
For people with children, it could be the opportunity to start a college savings plan. Or it could be just what you need to finally have enough for the down payment on a home, or to reduce the weight of credit card debt or college student loans.
If you've never had an emergency fund, you could tap that windfall for a start.
But if you are like most people, a windfall creates an urge to spend ... to give yourself something special.
Glenda Moehlenpah, a San Diego financial planner, suggests people realize that rather than denying the feeling.
Even though it would probably be wise to devote an entire windfall to paying off debts or saving for the future, forcing yourself to do what's purely prudent might backfire, she said. So her advice is to indulge yourself with maybe 5 or 10 percent of the windfall and do what's wise with the rest.
"A lot of times, if you let yourself spend some, it will keep you from spending too much later," Moehlenpah said. "Really splurge; make it really enjoyable."
Then, realize that with the rest of the money you are also preparing yourself to enjoy your future. For example, the Boeing machinists who just signed a contract did get a $10,000 bonus, but the other side of the deal involved agreeing to have their pensions frozen in the future. That means that if they are relatively young and don't save more for their future, they are likely to end up living on a shoestring in retirement.
Let's say a machinist is 35 and puts $5,500 into a Roth IRA this year, investing it in a mutual fund, called a "balanced fund," that invests 60 percent of his money into stocks and 40 percent into bonds.
Over the next 30 years, that money could average an 8 percent annual gain if the fund behaves the way it has historically. So that one-time $5,500 would end up totaling about $55,000 for retirement. When you look at it that way, you get a lot more out of investing $5,500 than just blowing it on something fun.
Likewise, $5,500 could help make it easier for your children to go to college without borrowing as much as they might.
Let's say the 35-year-old puts $5,500 into a 529 college savings plan, and the child will be going to college in 10 years. Maybe the money earns 6 percent a year on average.
In that case, your child will have about $10,000 for college. That, of course, isn't going to cover the cost of college, which can now run about $20,000 a year or more. But it helps.
Of course, if you are short on both retirement and college savings, you could split your windfall between the two funds for your future.
For the retirement money, you will get the most mileage if you put it into a 401(k) at work or a Roth IRA if you don't have a 401(k). Both are protected from taxes, so they help your money grow more than if you put it into an account that was taxed. And if your employer will give you matching money for a 401(k) contribution, make sure you choose that option and get all the free money you can on the job.
For the college fund, choose a 529 plan from your state or another state. Those plans are protected from taxes too, and some states give you an extra tax bonus or other incentive for using them. Scout for 529 plans at global.morningstar.com/529PlanRatingsChart2013.
Of course, if you are carrying 18 percent debt on your credit cards from one month to the next, the nicest thing you could do for yourself would be to wipe that out.
But Moehlenpah is skeptical of this approach — again because of your head, not solid financial planning.
It's too easy for people to wipe out their debt with a windfall, she said. In her experience, people who do that end up running up debt all over again. Yet, when people feel the pain of paying off their debts month after month, they vow never to get in over their heads in debt again. And they tend to be successful with such a promise, Moehlenpah says.
So consider dividing that windfall into parts such as fun, debt reduction, retirement and college.

Michael Pitt and Nina Arianda star as real-life Robin Hoods – accent on the "hoods" – with a plan so brilliantly stupid it actually worked, until it didn't
Love between equals is a gangland rarity. Tony Soprano, Michael Corleone and Henry Hill never sought partners, but instead women whose curiosity they could buy off with diamonds, furs and a McMansion.
That makes Tommy Uva (Michael Pitt) a different kind of goon.
Like the Mafiosi he grew up around, he could use a few years on a psychiatrist's couch to get over his daddy issues. But Tommy's life doesn't revolve around his father, but rather his girlfriend Rosie (Nina Arianda), and their brief, dizzying, deeply stupid crime spree.
"Rob the Mob" is director Raymond De Felitta's love letter to Thomas and Rose Marie Uva, a real-life couple from Queens who inadvertently helped send nearly two dozen gangsters to prison in the early 90s. In this tonally uneven, but utterly gripping retelling (which deserves a much better title than the glib, inelegant one it's stuck with), they're a pair of amoral but lovable hedonists who lucked into a few stick-ups before being betrayed by their own folly.
Also read: 'Nymphomaniac': 5 WTF Moments, From Penis Montages to Christian Slater Bathroom Accidents
To quote another famous Italian-American: Picture it — New York City, 1991. Ex-con Tommy and newly sober Rosie can't get by on the meager salaries from their collection-agency jobs. (Rosie's the office MVP; she's a natural bully.) Sick of the 9 to 5, Tommy gets it into his head that he can supplement their paychecks by stealing from the local mobsters with impunity.
The weird thing is, he really can. It's the height of the John Gotti trial. Sammy "The Bull" Gravano is spilling all sorts of Cosa Nostra secrets, like where the mid-level racketeers hang out without their guns. (Sparsely furnished dive bars, it turns out.) Even though Tommy's reckless enough to mention his father (who was killed by the mob) by name, the Mafia needs to lie low while the entire city is enraptured by the sensationalistic details from the trial. "Eagles don't hunt flies," explains the capo Big Al (Andy Garcia).
With Rosie as the driver, the pair target several mobster haunts. "Tommy and Rosie" sounds a lot less lyrical than "Bonnie and Clyde" — and it's supposed to. They're happy to trade in glamour for giddiness.
After one heist, they fling dollar bills at each other like little girls having a pillow fight at a sleepover. Pitt and Arianda play their characters as rambunctious cartoon puppies in love, with a big red heart in one eye and a green dollar sign in the other.
"Rob the Mob" wouldn't work without the wild, dumb optimism Tommy and Rosie fuel in each other. It's infectious, even when it's obvious that the fates are about to turn on them at any moment. The heady, sexual chemistry between Pitt and Arianda — along with the evocative character details in writer Jonathan Fernandez's script — make for an utterly believable couple enchanted by their own idiot-savantry.
Also read: 'Muppets Most Wanted' Review: Caper Sequel Proves Second Verse Can Be as Good as the First
Pitt's habit of sucking in his cheeks in disappointment, as if he's constantly tasting life's bitterness, is just one aspect of an admirably physical performance. But it's relative newcomer Arianda who's the standout. Her eyes are always processing three emotions at once — generally some combination of hope, greed and fear — and she's casually heartbreaking in the moments when she's willing herself to believe in her man, even though he's such a yutz he thinks Waikiki is a city in China.
Tommy and Rosie's unworldliness make for some very funny jokes at their expense, especially during the robberies themselves, each of which is hilariously inept (yet plausibly successful). But being asked to laugh at the pair becomes increasingly uncomfortable when it's clear they're doomed. Big Al's patience finally runs out when Tommy comes back from a heist with something a thousand times more valuable than money or jewelry.
The pair's routine underestimation of the Mafia leads to some incisive observations by De Felitta and Fernandez about the easy transformation of true-crime news into entertainment. Tommy and Rosie are initially horrified to find themselves being written about by a local journalist (Ray Romano), but they can't help calling him up and mythologizing themselves as ethical thieves — stealing from the mob is a victimless crime, Rosie argues. It's fascinating and horrifying to see how quickly money no longer suffices; their version of the good life suddenly requires fame, too.
Also read: 'Divergent' Dominates 80 Percent of Weekend Ticket Sales, Fandango Reports
After the fleet first two acts, "Rob the Mob" puts on a pair of cement shoes for its grand finale. An anti-government critique that comes out of nowhere also goes nowhere, and the final scene is so self-consciously stylized it might well be cut and pasted from a perfume commercial. A retroactive effort to paint the couple in heroic strokes also flops.
We've already met Tommy and Rosie at their human worst. They're already glorious as they are.

Rick asked her if she killed them. She replied yes, very matter of factly, and turned an walked away. Rick was left chewing on that and the show ended.

Manson kept bogarting the discussion with long drawn out nothingness. I'm tuning in to hear whoever they have on this week that has insight. She barely got to talk!
I couldnt watch it. I only got through the 2nd time he started to talk and gave up.
Oooohhhh could be, but how did no one hear anything? Like screams, yelling?
Hahahaha I just seen this, and I thought that after last night as well as she freaked out.
I agree most of the time he sounded stoned or effected trying to sound deep. But in all the muddledness I thought he had actually had two interesting thoughts (stoned squirrels find nuts once in a while). I've already erased it or I'd go back and find them. One was early in and about the fundamental issue being morality. The other was when Hardwick got excited and said that was the first thing Manson said that Chris understood. At that point I backed it up and listened again.
Me standing up for MM? We must be in the zombie apocalypse!
I'm on the "whoever booked Manson needs to be fired" bandwagon. That washed up clown ruined the after show. Turned it off after the second commercial break.
Episode was absolutely killer, though. Keeps getting better and better.
Wonder what is going to happen with Hershel??? Took his mask off and continued to doctor them up.
Don't know but I'm more than willing to go full on woody allen and adopt Maggie and Beth if he dies!

For every language L ⊆ ∑*, the identity function from ∑* to ∑* reduces L to itself. Suppose f :∑* → ∑* and g : ∑* → ∑* are reductions from L 1 to L 2 and from L 2 to L 3 , respectively; i.e., f and g are computable, and for every x and every y in ∑*, x ∈ L 1 if and only if f(x) ∈ L 2 and y ∈ L 2 if and only if g(y) ∈ L 3 . Then for every x, x ∈ L 1 if and only if g(f(x)) ∈ L 3 , and the composite function g o f is computable. Therefore, g o f is a reduction from L 1 to L 3.
