John Beckwith Jr. walks into his morgue and over to the new corpse. His colleagues and pastor follow him inside, still talking from lunch. The air in the morgue stirs and rattles a paper sign taped to a door that reads, "Where excellence is standard and only perfect is acceptable."
Beckwith will evaluate the condition of the body. They all know the man on the table. He went to their church. Last night he died in a motorcycle wreck. Now his right eyelid is missing, and where his lower leg should be are instead splinters of bone.
"I'm going to recommend the family does not see the body," says Beckwith, an obvious observation that lightens the mood. To Beckwith, the 42-year-old in charge of Golden Gate Funeral Home, the business his father founded, an "even-keeled spirit" is essential to his work.
The Beckwith family operation is one of the biggest funeral homes in Dallas and the busiest black funeral home in the Southwestern United States. This year, they'll bury or cremate some 2,000 bodies—a number that includes 100 from a new Louisiana location run by a cousin. "That's big, monstrous," says Bob Duncan, a longtime funeral home supplier who sells to 50 other funeral homes in the Dallas area.
His father, John E. Beckwith Sr., opened his Dallas business in 1985 inside a two-story house nestled in a historically black neighborhood in Oak Cliff. His first year in business, he handled fewer than 200 cases, but he had a plan: He would serve the neediest people in his community and treat them with respect regardless of income. His generosity and habit of throwing in free limousines for families is still talked about in the community. For Beckwith Sr., who grew up poor in rural Louisiana, his business model was fueled by memories of the shoddy treatment his family received from a Dallas funeral home when his mother passed away long ago.
Inside the morgue, an embalmer takes the deceased's head and turns it right and then left. The neck is broken. The body is a mess, but Beckwith figures that if it's cleaned, the wife might be able to view it, at least through photographs.
"Let's go ahead and see if we can get him embalmed," Beckwith says. The embalmer steps toward a machine that sits high on a shelf and looks like a jug filled with pink goo with a tube coiled around its base.
A morgue is a worst-case scenario for the claustrophobic. Bodies are lined up against the wall, underneath sheets. Rows of feet point outward, so to walk anywhere you must negotiate a narrow aisle lined by the bottoms of yellowed feet with tagged toes. It smells of iron mixed with preserving fluid. It's very cold.
"Give me some digital photos from different angles for the family," Beckwith says. "I don't think she's going to be able to see it." In the end, she will view the body.
Beckwith employs a team of 65 people who share a curious fascination with the death business, most of them since they were children. The embalmer, for example, started helping out in funeral homes before he turned 10.
Beckwith says the business can grow bigger still by figuring out new ways to service people better. Fancy cars are important. Golden Gate owns a fleet of 33 white limousines, stretch Cadillacs, Chryslers, Lincolns, Mercedes and now a Bentley. He placed an order for the nation's first stretch Hummer-hearse to appeal to the younger set, which is a significant part of his business.
Many of the youths he buries died violently. In Dallas, as in other big cities, the majority of homicide victims are young, black males. He says it's his obligation to serve them, so he covers costs with reimbursements from the Texas Attorney General's Crime Victims Compensation Fund, which pays out a maximum of $4,500 for burial and funeral costs. That's more than $1,000 under Beckwith's average price. Some police officers say privately that some local funeral homes game the system, collecting the maximum reimbursement from the state while providing minimal service to poor families. But other funeral homes often refer homicide cases to Golden Gate because there's not usually a lot of money in them.
There are also the crowds to consider. Many evenings, if you drive by Golden Gate on Stemmons, the lot in front will be packed with cars and young people hanging out, leaning on cars, playing music. It sometimes looks like a nightclub. Beckwith is expanding the work of his father to create a brand, hoping to make Golden Gate synonymous with funerals beyond the black community. He has big ambitions to reach out to the rest of the city, black and white. He took his message to television in July with Ask the Undertaker, a program on public access channel 34 on Saturday nights. He hosts the same show, a hybrid sort of infomercial that blends selling with spirituality, on the radio from the studios of KHVN-970 AM "Heaven 97," Dallas' No. 1 black gospel station.
High volume, moderate prices and an emphasis on customer service—these are hallmarks of successful retail businesses, so it's not hard to understand how Beckwith's funeral home has reached its "monstrous" size.

Nail fungus lotrimin
Common Questions and Answers about Nail fungus lotrimin
I had been reading A LOT on this website and others and decided it must have been something like balanitis or a fungal infection from being uncircumcised, so I started applying
anti-fungal cream on my penis which didn't seem to bother it at all and seemed to keep any redness or soreness away. My girlfriend and I then had unprotected sex the morning of 5/11/13 (the first time we've had unprotected sex since this incident).

It's kind of like a clean turpentine smell, but I use it all the time. It even cures
if you use it every day for a few months.
Read More
Follow the directions on the tube. For the
, get pure tea tree oil and put that on your
every day, twice a day if possible, but at least once a day. It will take months and it smells pretty much like turpentine, but it won't hurt you. There are oral antifungals, but they have the potential to harm your liver. You can take oral odorless garlic and a probiotic or prebiotic to get your system cleaned up. Avoid eating sugar to get your flora healthy again.

I also have a
that has plagued me for over 4 years now. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it. I use one towel but i use a hairdryer to dry my feet and i make sure my feet don't touch my boxers when i put them on. There is some itchiness but nothing unbearable. After masturbation or sex the tip of my penis is bright red. Could this be an std or is it just a fungus?

I tried that and it cured my

From the symptom, it looks like yeast infection but why arent the medications helping? I have been to the doctors and they couldnt tell me what is the problem. Can you anyone solve my problem? i want to have a normal penis again.

I've been washing my face quite a lot lately, I tried putting alcohol on it, and then aquaphor for dryness and healing. but nothing. it will not go away. it doesn't bleed or leak any type of fluid, or anything like that. but i am extremely worried because I searched skin rash and got a bunch of pages about skin cancer. I don't think it is skin cancer though. also...

I recently (about 4 1/2 weeks later now) began applying

Here are some side notes that may help: -One fingernail was damaged due to guitar playing and seemed to get a very slight fungal look to the side of the nail (dry skin, small slight brown area etc) -Girlfriend was found to have early form of HPV and started getting treated few months back.

For yeast infections, there are several over-the-counter drugs such as Butoconazole (Femstat), Miconazole (Monistat), Tioconazole (Vagistat), and Clotrimazole (Femizole-7, Gyne-

Balls were hot too. Tried to use all sorts of junk, powders, bag balm, tolenfonate,
, vinegar, salt water....nothing. Here is how to stop your yeast infection: Do what the guy said above. But first, stop irritating your balls and junk with all that crap. The skin down there is probably now super sensitive and not happy. You need to let it rest for a day or two. Just talk 1 cup of sea salt, drop in bath and soak for one hour. 2-3 days to get back to normal.

I also slapped on some Sarna, sprayed benedryl (spray bottles are great and easier to use for us guys) Aveeno cortisone,

I used about everything that came to mind, Neosporin, Alcohol, Peroxide, Cortisone, and
. None of them helped, excepted for the Peroxide it helped with the itching but that was pretty much it, the symptoms keep coming back. So, today I came on this board reading your story about what you get on your hands and feet, it kind of seems like the same thing or similar to what I have. And I happen to use Pepsodent! So, I ran to my bag and grabbed my toothpaste then went into the bathroom.

There are many things that you could be allergic to that could cause this including cosmetics, hair coloring,

Itchy ears are actually very common. They tend to be worse in people who make very little wax as wax typically lubricates and moistens the ear canal. There are several things that can be tried. If the eardrums are intact, a drop or two of baby oil (mineral oil) every few days can help quite a bit. Over-the-counter 1% hydrocortisone cream (apply to outer ear canal with the little finger) can be very helpful. There are other prescription treatments (Dermotic oil) that can help also.

I was following the reports from someone under the name bbally who was having his skin cultured to check for possible
or bacteria. The comment thread was unexpectedly closed and I have not seen any comment from him since. Myself I am trying an antibiotic cream and see if it works. I know that water makes it worse, but not so sure about sea water.
Read More
Nothing seems to help the itch though. I tried cortisone and
spray for Athletes Foot. No luck. The best thing to stop the itch is to pop the blister and then it burns a little, which is more bearable than the itch. Please let me know if you have found an explanation and/or a remedy. Thank you!

This whole thing started as a buzz(noise). @ First i thought they were mosquitos.

"Do you have toe
or athlete's foot!" Using the same solution on my facial outbreaks as on my toe nails (the revised formula with coconut oil), the facial condition is clearing up. Just like with my feet, skin is sloughing off and the nodules are beginning to eject. This is the best result I've seen in years. I expect it will take a few months for the problem to be cured, as the fungus is down below the level of the base of the hair follicle in the sebaceous gland.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Aeropostale (ARO) shares were surging 17% after Hummingbird LLC disclosed in a regulatory filing that it purchased nearly an 8% stake in the teen retailer.
Hummingbird is indirectly owned by Sycamore Partners, a New York-based private-equity fund focused on consumer and retail investments,which owns Hot Topic and Talbots. Sycamore has approximately $1 billion in capital under management as of June 2013, according to its Web site.
According to a Securities and Exchange Commission13D filing on Tuesday, Hummingbird acquired 6.25 million shares, or 7.96%, of Aeropostale's common stock.
The share acquisition, valued at about $53.9 million, is seen as "an attractive investment," and part of the investment activities on behalf of Sycamore Funds, the filings said.Aeropostale shares were rising 16.5% to $10.04. "The reporting persons may communicate with the issuer's management, members of the issuer's board of directors, other stockholders of the issuer and other relevant parties concerning the business, assets, capitalization, financial condition, operations, management, governance, strategy and future plans of the issuer," the filing said. Stifel analyst Richard Jaffe said he believes that Hummingbird will attempt to take the company private at a price of about $10 a share. "Given Sycamore Partners' track record, we believe Hummingbird will ultimately attempt to take Aeropostale private," Jaffe wrote in a research note. "In our opinion Stefan Kaluzny, co-founder of Sycamore Partners, is involved in the bid on ARO and his presence, in our opinion, adds credibility to the bid and in our estimation, the likelihood of its success."

"Alien," "The Andromeda Strain," "The Thing" and other tales of people trapped in terror-filled isolation inform the 13-episode series, but series creator Cameron Porsandeh and executive producer Ronald D. Moore still manage to surprise and scare with their tale of paranoia at an Arctic research facility.
The series stars Billy Campbell as Dr. Alan Farragut, who leads a team from the Centers for Disease Control to a remote polar complex run by Arctic Biosystems where scientists are performing grisly experiments with a deadly virus that has infected Alan's brother Peter Farragut (Neil Napier) and two other researchers.
Alan's team includes his ex-wife, Dr. Julia Walker (Kyra Zagorsky), star virologist Dr. Sarah Jordan (Jordan Hayes), snarky veterinary pathologist Dr. Doreen Boyle (Catherine Lemieux) and Army security expert Maj. Sergio Balleseros (Mark Ghanimé), who seems to have shifting allegiances.
The center's director, Dr. Hiroshi Hatake (Hiroyuki Sanada), offers the CDC team unlimited access to the base and any research to help them corral the virus. The team begins studying Peter to learn why he is still alive—although with black blood coursing through his body—while the other victims have been reduced to bones and tarry muck.
Hatake keeps his distance, spying on them and hiding vital information as Alan and his team uncover horror after gross-out horror in the maze of labs. (Beware the test monkeys!) Tension builds to a breaking point before a new revelation resets the action and the slow-boil starts all over again.
"Helix" isn't without faults. Bad dialogue and its less-than-stellar supporting cast can be distracting. Soap-opera subplots—Julia was involved with both Farraguts and Sarah has a thing for Alan—often derail the action. But the series hits its stride in the third episode when the outbreak spins out of control, forcing Alan to make difficult decisions that challenge his personal sense of morality.
Hints of a deeper mythology are revealed, too, suggesting that "Helix" will move beyond its stop-the-virus story into something even more intriguing. In the meantime, it's a suspenseful, scary thriller.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

FTC and CFPB host roundtable on data integrity in debt collection
When the topic turns to debt collection, some people assume the only thing that changes hands is money. But there's another important consideration: the life cycle of consumer information as it flows through the debt collection process. That's the subject of Life of a Debt: Data Integrity in Debt Collection, a June 6, 2013, roundtable co-hosted by the FTC and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).
What's on the agenda? Attendees will hear from consumer advocates, industry members, credit issuers, academics, and law enforcers about hot topics like:
- the amount of documentation and other information currently available to different types of debt collectors and at different points in the process;
- what's needed to verify and substantiate debts; and
- the costs and benefits of additional disclosures for consumers about their debts and debt-related rights.
Also on the table: verifying disputed debts under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, investigating disputed debts under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, time-barred debts, and litigation issues.
The roundtable is scheduled for Thursday, June 6th, at the FTC's Conference Center at 601 New Jersey Avenue, N.W., in Washington, D.C. Registration opens at 8:00, but if you can't make it, we'll be webcasting it, too. RSVP by sending your name and affiliation to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Looking for more resources on helping your clients comply with the law? Bookmark the FTC's debt collection page in the Business Center.

Having a simple process for consumers to get information they need to recognize an account or get an answer to a dispute is a great idea. Requiring specific pieces of information to be provided before a dispute or request is made just adds cost and complexity.
The integrity of data supporting debt collection is questionable and in some cases fraudulent.
Let us take an example of an ID Theft victim who is asked to pay for debts accumulated by the ID Thief. What can the victim do to protect himself and his family from being pursued by virtual debtors? It is obvious that victim is not fairly treated under Fair Debt Collection Act. What are the legal rights of a consumer flooded with virtual debts?
What action can the victim take against the the ID Thief?
These and many other questions should be addressed.
Will this cover recovery of debt accumulated as a direct result of I D Theft?
Your reference number is:45400916
So why then are so many (implied) legetimate tax payer institutions embracing the commercial lending sharks. Case in point above.

Volunteers to tackle mile-wide tornado's other problem
Even before the main cleanup of Iowa farms destroyed by a massive tornado last Friday is complete, volunteers are tackling another cleanup problem.
If harvest time isn't busy enough, the tornadoes left some farmers with the extra task of removing debris from fields that could damage combines and other harvest machinery.
The Sioux City Journal reports farmers like Lane and Kathy Tabke must retrieve countless items.
The couple, who farm near Moville, say a Friday night tornado blew parts of three grain bins, a stove, fuel tank, auger and a livestock trailer into a nearby soybean field.
On Wednesday, up to 100 volunteers will walk through the field, picking up bits of wood and metal.
Although cleaning mature soybean fields is difficult, picking out boards, nails and other items from tightly packed cornfields will be even harder.
The severe weather also damaged some crops just as farmers planned to harvest.

Five years ago today, Elizabeth and I launched Go Green Travel Green. When we came up with the concept of a website devoted to green travel stories and tips, there were very few resources about sustainable travel available online or elsewhere. In the intervening years, green travel has become trendy and we're proud to have contributed valuable resources for travelers who want to lessen their environmental impact.
While we're both still passionate about green travel, our interests have broadened since the launch of GGTG. Over the past half-decade, we've moved from Washington, DC to Argentina to Minneapolis; bought a house; adopted two dogs; traveled to Canada, Iceland, New Zealand, Australia, Uruguay, Guatemala, and Belize; and had a baby (who has now grown into a walking, talking toddler).
Since becoming moms in late 2011, Elizabeth and I have realized there's not a one-stop site for moms who care about living green, saving money, and continuing to travel after they have kids. Starting today, Go Green Travel Green will fill that gap. We'll still cover green travel, but Go Green Travel Green will also be a resource for moms who love to travel, want to reduce their family's environmental impact, and strive to spend their money wisely.
Our new focus will be on travel, green living, and money for moms. What topics would you like to see us cover? Tell us in the comments.

Cooking, reading, running, spending time with family and friends and exploring Pittsburgh.
Mostly just Europe − studied abroad in Newcastle, England and during that time and on other trips, I've had the opportunity to travel around England, Scotland, Ireland, Italy, Austria, and Germany. I definitely plan to go back and visit more. No current foreign language proficiency, though.
Like About Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC
Everyone is so friendly − as colleagues, offering to help and as peers, planning social activities. It's also a great place to train, with a focus on learning both in lecture and hands-on. There seems to be a strong support system for residents without compromising the excellent patient care.

|My Games
Title: Time (trial) is not on my side.
Posted: January 11, 2006 (08:18 AM)
I think I don't like the fact that I have grown up. Well, if not exactly grown up, at least that I have become more mature. More adult, and more responsible.
There just never seems to be enough time to play at the moment. What was once an all-encompassing obsession has been constantly relegated and demoted in importance. It currently sits as an 'occasional pastime', something I only do when I have nothing else to do instead.
A massive reason for this is of course my partner. Now, she does play games herself. But, this does not have the effect one would think it would. No, instead of encouraging me to play more, I instead find myself at the other side of the looking-glass I used to be in.
When I played in the past, I ALWAYS had an audience. Be it my wife, the kids, or friends. I used to wait until gone midnight before playing anything I was determined to finish, simply because that was the only way I could actually fully immerse myself. With no-one there to question my every move, no-one to make suggestions, and most importantly no-one to question my responses.
See, I am an adrenaline player. Billy Mitchell may not believe in 'the zone', but I sure as hell do. It happens, no question about it. For me, it generally happens after a while of trying. If it isn't happening, then I start looking for it.
I'll shout. I'll accuse the AI of cheating. I'll swear. I'll call myself and the console all sorts of things. I make John McEnroe look like a baby. I am really nasty, and possibly even petulant. But, I don't care, it gets me to where I need to be. I work best from a position of anger. From a position of blood-flowing faster.
I need that pressure. "I am NOT going to bed until I beat this motherfucker!" If there's no potential price, then I can switch off, lose interest, just drift.
Jeni does not understand this mentality. She hears me re-start the same track on Mario Kart a dozen times before I get a start I am happy with. And then I'll race a dozen of these before I did well enough on the first lap to justify continuing. In all, I'll probably finish about one out of every 50 time-trials I start, possibly even fewer. I know she thinks I can't possibly be having fun. And she is right, I am not having fun. I am working!
Sadly, I am not good enough to do this for a living. Or rather, I don't have the time to get good enough. Work, shopping, the dog, families - all these things continue to make demands of my time. I could at one time spend the entire day playing a game. Today I am lucky if I get more than an hour on one. And, ever more frequently I find myself just not playing so that she can play.
I have within the past month found myself watching Jeni play Spyro : A Hero's Tail! Why in the hell would I ever want to do something like that? It's odd, too, because I frequently have to fight back the urge to tell her what to do. Now, bear in mind that I have never picked up the pad on this game. It's just an instinct, I can see where she needs to go. I know exactly how annoying it is when people instruct you in games, so I never tell her. I do make suggestions when she gets frustrated, but only if I am invited.
It's handy, because the two styles of play are almost entirely incompatible. I have long since given up on games that require weeks of play just to see it all. Whereas Jeni likes games where there is plenty to collect. It would be Nirvana if we had more than the one TV. (Also, being female, she does like to make sure I am paying her the required amount of attention at all times.) So, I will just sit there biting my tongue whilst failing to improve at the latest hand-held game, and she'll shout at the green snot things in Ratchet and Clank 3.
All this, and sex too! What a life I am currently leading.

Title: Watching our better halves
Posted: January 11, 2006 (11:10 AM)
I have the same issues when I watch my wife play. She plays RPGs or she plays simple games like Hexic or Bust-A-Move or whatever. I watch, and she'll just flounder through the game, and suddenly it's there: a massive combo that no person in his right mind would ever be able to utilize. Does she use it? Of course not! She's just been floundering the whole time, and doesn't have the skill to see it sitting there. That's probably how she made it available in the first place. So it's all I can do to not say "turn that piece there and you'll have the highest score known to man." Then she'll make a few more turns, everything comes crashing down, and she wonders why the game is so hard and why she can't score well. It's tough.

Posted: January 12, 2006 (03:17 AM)
Oh man, Puzzle Bobble! I used to borderline heart attack watching that game. There'd be 2 reds at the top right, wide open, but 1 red at the bottom left, holding 30 or so bubbles. Now, you or I would put a 2nd red onto it straight away. Anyone with sense would. However, the amount of times I have seen such opportunities go to waste could be counted on the fingers of one football team. They ALWAYS go for the easy points!
And then they'll never play you head-to-head!
Yeah, I hate Puzzle Bobble. Or at least, I hate other people playing it. =P

Even with the many accomplishments of a long career, Earl Klugh doesn't necessarily believe there is a peak level to playing guitar. "My enjoyment is searching out new things to play every day, and ways to play them," says Klugh. "The essential excitement of music-making is renewed in every studio and stage performance…as if it's the first time I'm doing it."
Klugh's studio debut came in 1969 on Yusef Lateef's Suite 16. He then recorded on George Benson's White Rabbit album, later touring with Benson and Chick Corea's Return to Forever before launching his solo career in 1976 on Blue Note records. With over 30 solo albums, legendary collaborative albums with Benson (Collaboration) and Bob James (One On One, Two of a Kind, Cool), and adding his special touch as a guest artist for such diverse peers as Stevie Wonder, Chet Atkins, Miles Davis and Jimmy Buffet, Klugh continues to delight audiences worldwide.
The Earl Klugh Quintet will perform variety of songs from throughout Klugh's career, as well as standards and classics arranged by Earl and the outstanding group of musicians that he is honored to share the stage with.

Visioning Tibet
Description: "Visioning Tibet" chronicles the passion of ophthalmologist Marc Lieberman, the founder of the Tibet Vision Project. His mission: to end preventable blindness in Tibet -- which has the highest rate of untreated cataract blindness in the world -- by 2020. Bringing light where there was once darkness, Lieberman's work has been recognized by the American Academy of Ophthalmology, which named him 2003 Humanitarian of the Year. The film is built around the stories of two of Tibetans -- Karma (a farmer from a small village in Northern Tibet) and Lhasang (patriarch of a nomadic family from the Tibetan plains) -- who make the arduous journey to a remote clinic in the hopes of having their sight restored by Tibetan doctors trained by Lieberman.

McAllen, Texas Docs Defend Region's Healthcare Spending
The border town of McAllen, Texas wasn't on the tip of anybody's tongue before this month. But a few weeks ago, an article in The New Yorker offered it up as exhibit A of all that is wrong with the country's healthcare system, the ground zero of medicine run amok.
In recent weeks, the president himself reportedly carried the magazine into conference rooms announcing that the article, which was called "The Cost Conundrum", was mandatory reading for anyone who was serious about joining the health reform conversation.
But yesterday, the doctors of McAllen began to fight back. In a news conference in Washington, D.C. directed at President Barack Obama and Congress, they said The New Yorker and the article's author, Atul Gawande, MD, got it all wrong.
Gawande, who visited McAllen some months ago, attributed his statistics on McAllen to the Dartmouth Atlas of Healthcare's compendium of Medicare spending costs throughout the country. It showed, he wrote, that McAllen has the second highest per capita spending of Medicare dollars in the nation, next to Miami where the costs of practicing are much greater. In McAllen, the $15,000 annual spending on medical expenses is twice that of the national average, Gawande said.
A surgeon at Harvard Medical School's Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, Gawande blamed McAllen's expensive tab on an assortment of McAllen's physician entrepreneurs who have set up large medical practices that perform a lot of imaging and other tests, and formed hospital companies that keep patients longer than average. In effect, Gawande accused McAllen's medical system of over-utilizing and overcharging the federal government.
But yesterday, at the start of a Border Health Caucus in Washington, officials from the Texas Medical Association and the Hidalgo-Starr County Medical Society, explained that is hardly the case.
And they asked that the president come to McAllen to see for himself.
McAllen is different than any other place in the U.S. It provides healthcare to an extremely needy and poor population, they said, and is just more expensive because the healthcare needs are so great.
In effect, they said, Gawande used statistics that were not risk-adjusted for the severity of health problems in McAllen.
For starters, said society president James Stewart, MD, a McAllen internist, Hidalgo County has the lowest average income of any county in the nation, which means it is the poorest. Because of that, as well as its proximity to the border, it is beset with more than its share of health challenges. It has high numbers of uninsured, high numbers of undocumented immigrants, and a high percentages of people who, when they are diagnosed with an illness, their providers learn they have never seen a physician.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

I Know from first hand experience that Atul Gawade is absolutely right. I recently had an abscess and went to a doctor for that. I was immediately send to doctors hospital at renaissance, and instead of a simple I& D , had to spent 4 days(!) in the hospital. I was simply shuttled from one doctor to other ( while in the hospital I was seen by another doctor that the original doctor has recommended, had I&dperformed by a surgeon from another group (McAllen physicians) and for a simple work excuse ( the doctor who 'saw' me at the hospital 'ld have given it to me) was referred back to the original doctor ( of course! I need to make an appointment for that too!!) and was told to make an appointment in a week with another surgeon ( not the surgeon who performed the actual procedure)!! . The absolute apathy they show to the patient is very very evident and they just treat people like an ATM machine. If I ever had to see a doctor or needs to be admitted in a hospital, it is never going to be in Rio grande valley-So help me God.
William Pastor (12/18/2010 at 6:54 PM)
Atul Gawande preempted this argument in his article, correctly pointing out that El Paso county is demographically similar to Hidalgo county (where McAllen is) and has per capita Medicare expenditures literally half those of Hidalgo. There are lots of poor places in America and lots of sick people, Hidalgo County just has a bad medical culture. And it's no surprise that the doctors there would rather deny the existence of the problem than improve the situation.

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden: It's A Boy!
Harlow's going to be getting a baby brother!
While Nicole Richie and Joel Madden have yet to confirm the sex of their baby, In Touch is reporting that Nicole will give birth to a boy in August.
A friend tells the mag, "Joel bought water-based paint for the nursery and—surprise, surprise —it's blue." They also said that Nicole refers to the baby as "he."
"Plus, [Richie] recently ordered some plush animals and infant toys from FAO Schwarz, and everything just happens to be blue."
Do you think he's going to grow up to be just like his daddy? We can't wait!

CHICAGO, April 4, 2013 — After 45 years of giving movies thumbs up and down, Roger Ebert, journalist, film critic, author, and screenwriter, has died of cancer. Ebert was 70 years old.
Ebert was one of those writers that could be called groundbreaking. He started as a editor in grammar school, publishing a neighborhood paper, followed by co-editing his high school paper. A graduate of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where he majored in journalism, Ebert was the editor of the campus paper, The Daily Illini. Prior to his long career at the Chicago Sun-Times, Ebert wrote for science fiction magazines and the Champaign Illinois News Gazette.
Ebert is well-known for his print movie reviews in the Sun-Times and his show with co-host Gene Siskel, of the Chicago Tribune. For 23 years, Siskel and Ebert brought their reviews to television viewers in "Sneak Previews," "At the Movies with Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert" and "Siskel and Ebert At The Movies."
With Gene Siskel, Roger Ebert taught us to not only go and enjoy the movies but to talk about movies. To discuss, dissect and have an opinion on the movies, the stories and the people, directors to stars, that make them.
For his fans and detractors, the interest was not so much in the "review" of a movie you may or may not see, but in the artful, lively journalism he brought to the review. Ebert is the first film critic to ever win a Pulitzer Prize, receiving the honor in 1975 for his body of "distinguished criticism," an annual award presented to a newspaper writer.
Ebert was the first of five film critics to win this Pulitzer honor to date. Forbes Magazine described Siskel as "the most powerful pundit in America" in 2007 and he is the first movie reviewer to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Always honest, Ebert wrote reviews that were believed by his audience in print and on television for their integrity. A thumbs down, or a negative review, would stop audiences in their tracks. Roger Ebert was known for his honesty, wit, sarcasm, and the ability to say, "I hated it…" as he did in his 1994 review of Rob Reiner's comedy "North."
Ebert proved to journalists around the world that no story is unimportant in its reach.
Movies may have been Technicolor productions, but for Ebert it was the story behind the film that intrigued him. Ebert's reviews helped us to see that story, the questions it asked, and the answers it offered.
Ebert believed movies and the stories behind them mattered. If he liked a movie, he said so. If it, in his words, "sucked," he said so as well, as when he told Rob Schneider that "Deuce Begelow: European Gigolo," "Your move sucks."
"If it's a great movie, it lets you understand a little bit more what it's like to be a different gender, a different race, a different age, a different economic class," he said. "It helps us to identify with the people who are sharing this journey with us. And that to me is the most noble thing that good movies can do — and it's a reason to encourage them and to support them and to go to them."
Diagnosed with thyroid cancer in early 2002, Ebert was left unable to speak, though he continued to watch and review movies. He found a voice on the social network Twitter and on his Sun-Times blog.
In his 2011 memoir, "Life Itself," Ebert wrote contributing joy to the world and that he was happy to have lived long enough to find that out. Ebert contributed much joy to his friends, family and legions of fans.
Roger Ebert was born June 18, 1942 (d. April 4, 2013). He is survived by his wife Chaz Hammelsmith.

Jarvis Stone School Local Historic District
Jarvis Stone School Local Historic District was approved by the Washtenaw County Board of Commissioners on June 5, 2013.
The Jarvis Stone School Local Historic District Study Committee Report was presented to the Washtenaw County Historic District Committee at their Nov. 1 Meeting. The WCHDC reviewed the report and recommended that the draft be accepted and that a public hearing be held to review it.
At the 11/13/2012 Salem Township Board meeting, Marcia Van Fossen brought forth a resolution that was seconded by Wayne Wallezy in support of the Jarvis Stone School Local Historic District that would have the township Supervisor send a letter to the Washtenaw County Historic District Commission indicating the STB's support of the approval of the Jarvis Stone School Local Historic District by the Washtenaw County Board of Commissioners. During the Public Comment section of the agenda, Melissa Milton-Pung introduced the report and Terry Cwik requested a positive vote by the STB. Karl Gierman and Jim DiMilia were also in attendance. After a short discussion, which only contained positive comments about the report, the study committee, the SAHS and the property, a roll call vote was taken and the resolution was approved 7-0.
THANK YOU Jarvis Stone School Local Historic District Study Committee. It was a great team effort to do the research and pull this report together. CLICK HERE OR ON THE PHOTO ABOVE TO VIEW THE REPORT.

error with ubuntu 6.0.6.
I've the same error
(ERROR: The PHP binary coming with ISPConfig does not work properly on your system! The installation routine stops here!)
what has mentioned here earlier.
I installed my ubuntu (dapper drake) earlier by the howtoforge's directions, and readed carefully these topic's (for example, I installed the mysql-dev lib).
But there's still the error.
I think it's could be some problem with the Ubuntu, because the setup script seems to be recognise my system as 'debiandevelop/unstable'.
Before install I watched the dist.txt in the installation dir, but, in front of the documentation, there is no Ubuntu lines!?
Can you help me?

A09783 Memo:
BILL NUMBER:A9783A TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the tax law, in relation to establishing the college preparation tax credit act PURPOSE: To help families meet the costs of college preparation by allowing them to qualify for a tax credit of up to five hundred dollars per child. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section I titles the bill. Section II amends section 606 of the tax law by adding a new subsection (ccc) which allows a resident taxpayer a credit of up to five hundred dollars per child for qualified college preparation expenses paid or incurred by the taxpayer during a taxable year. Section III sets forth the effective date. JUSTIFICATION: College affordability is an issue that working and middle class families continue to struggle with as the expenses for college preparation continue to skyrocket. The costs incurred during the application process often become a financial burden for families who cannot afford to pay for admission tests such as the SAT and the ACT and the preparation courses offered for such tests. This bill would provide these families with the option to qualify for a tax credit of up to five hundred dollars per child for college preparation expenses paid or incurred during a taxable year. The term "qualified" would apply to the fees required to take the SAT, the ACT, SAT subject tests, Advanced Placement (AP) tests, preparation classes, and admission applications. With tuition costs rising, it is important to provide these families with some form of financial relief as they work to ensure the academic success of their children. LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: This is a new bill in the Assembly. FISCAL IMPACT ON THE STATE: To be determined. EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately.Go to top

Privacy Act, 1983
The Privacy Act (R.S.C., 1985, c. P-21) is a Canadian statute which came into effect on July 1, 1983.[1] The act imposes obligations on how government departments and agencies within federal government must handle the personal information of Canadian Citizens, permanent residents, and foreign nationals. The Privacy Act sets out the privacy rights of Canadians in their interactions with the Federal Government and functions alongside privacy legislation of Canadian provinces and territories. Although the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms does not specifically include privacy as a constitutional right, the Supreme Court has characterized the Act as "quasi-constitutional" because of the role privacy plays in the preservation of a free and democratic society.[2]
Notable Sections of the Privacy Act[edit]
- A government institution may not collect personal information unless it relates directly to an operating program or activity of the institution (section 4).
- With some exceptions, when a government institution collects an individual's personal information from the individual, it must inform the individual of the purpose for which the information is being collected (section 5(2)).
- With some exceptions, personal information under the control of a government institution may be used only for the purpose for which the information was obtained or for a use consistent with that purpose, unless the individual consents (section 7).
- With some exceptions, personal information under the control of a government institution may not be disclosed, unless the individual consents (section 8).
- Every Canadian citizen or permanent resident has the right to be given access to personal information about the individual under the control of a government institution that is reasonably retrievable by the government institution, and request correction if the information is inaccurate (section 12).
- The Privacy Commissioner of Canada receives and investigates complaints, including complaints that an individual was denied access to his or her personal information held by a government institution (section 29).
Case law[edit]
An individual who has been refused access to personal information may ultimately apply to the Federal Court for a review of the matter, pursuant to section 41 of the Act. The Court may order the head of the government institution to disclose the information to the individual (sections 48 and 49). Decisions of the Federal Court on such matters may be appealed to the Federal Court of Appeal, and, if leave is granted, further appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada. Some important court decisions concerning the Privacy Act are:
- Canada (Information Commissioner) v. Canada (Commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police), 2003 SCC 8 (considering the definition of "personal information" in section 3 of the Privacy Act)
- Ruby v. Canada (Solicitor General), 2002 SCC 75 (holding that section 51(2)(a) of the Privacy Act is unconstitutional because it requires that the entire hearing of certain applications to Federal Court be held in camera)
- Lavigne v. Canada (Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages), 2002 SCC 53 (holding that the Privacy Act is 'quasi-constitutional' legislation, and considering section 22(1)(b), the exemption for information the disclosure of which could be injurious to the conduct of lawful investigations)
- Privacy Act (Can.) (Re), 2001 SCC 89 (holding that the Privacy Act was not violated by a program whereby Canada Customs gave information about travellers to the Canada Employment Insurance Commission, to identify those who received employment insurance benefits while outside Canada)
- Dagg v. Canada (Minister of Finance), [1997] 2 S.C.R. 403 (the first major Supreme Court of Canada decision to consider the Privacy Act)

Lodge and preserve operators, outfitters: Instead of settling for whomever you might know who is currently unemployed, why not choose from hundreds to thousands of potential applicants … many you can't contact directly because they're already employed? Could your perfect candidate be unaware of your job offer? Are you limiting your search because you don't have the time or resources?
