Couples definitely fight about money - lying about it, the control of it, the lack of it or the mismanagement of it. But just like money isn't really the root of all evil, it's not the root cause of many divorces, either.
The fights couples have about money are frequently the manifestation of some other deeply entrenched stuff that comes out when there are financial issues. Let's say you grew up poor and hated not having what other kids had. You now buy whatever your heart desires because you don't want to do without again.
You marry a miser who grew up watching his parents spend money unwisely. He hated seeing his parents argue because there was never enough money. You might have even been attracted to his miserly ways because of his ability to manage his money. But such financial differences, which are often ignored or dismissed during a courtship, can cause major problems in a marriage.
You end up fighting because you spend too much and he doesn't want to spend much at all. You are contemplating a divorce and the reason you give: financial irreconcilable differences.
Is money the root cause? Or are your fights about money the manifestation of issues you haven't resolved from your childhood traumas?
And it doesn't help that many couples don't have good communication skills.
The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants asked people to name which personal problem they would feel most comfortable discussing. Only 14 percent of respondents said money.
"The subject of money is still highly taboo and one that people will go to great lengths to avoid," says Deborah L. Price, a money coach. "Yet couples who are in a committed relationship or married cannot have a healthy, truly intimate relationship unless they are willing to be financially open and fully transparent about their financial wants, needs and expectations."
In other words, if you want financial intimacy, you've got to talk. You've got to be willing to be vulnerable, Price says.

The financial crisis has hit the tote bag set: National Public Radio is cutting two shows and 7 percent of its work force, thanks to $23 million in red ink. Non-pledging fans of "Day to Day" and "News & Notes" have only themselves—and the Commodity Futures Modernization Act—to blame.
U.S. radio network National Public Radio will cut 7 percent of its workers and eliminate two shows because of budget shortfalls, the network said on Wednesday.
Facing a $23 million shortfall, NPR will eliminate the shows "Day to Day" and "News & Notes" in March because they failed to attract "sufficient levels of audience or national underwriting necessary to sustain continued production under these tough financial circumstances," Dennis Haarsager, NPR's CEO and interim president, wrote in an internal memo.

Arizona Diamondbacks
D-backs' Corbin confident heading into rotation competition
As there are in most big league spring training camps, there will be plenty of position battles to monitor with the Arizona Diamondbacks as they prepare for the 2013 campaign.
One of the more interesting ones will be the competition for the fifth starting pitching spot.
The Diamondbacks have several candidates for the job, including 23-year-old Patrick Corbin, who feels like he's ready to claim the job.
"I know I can pitch up here," Corbin said Thursday. "There's those games that you learn a lot from and that's just one thing that I'm going to take from last year and just try to move forward on it."
Corbin started the 2012 campaign at Double-A Mobile after pitching a team-high 21 innings in Cactus League play. But he got an early-season promotion to the Majors and made his debut in a 9-5 win over the Miami Marlins on April 30.
After three weeks with Arizona, Corbin was sent back to the minors. He'd eventually get promoted and sent down again before getting called up for good August 1. He says that process helped him get more comfortable pitching at the game's highest level.
"The first time I was up here last year, I kind of wasn't myself at all, and that's probably the biggest thing I learned is just to be yourself out there," Corbin said.
He went on to explain that he got help in that area from pitching coach Charles Nagy, catcher Miguel Montero and pitcher Ian Kennedy. "That's one thing that they preached to me was to just be myself and the second time I up, when I got sent down,that's what I did."
Corbin, along with fellow left-hander Tyler Skaggs and recently acquired Randall Delgado, seem to be the front-runners for the last spot in the rotation.
"Me and Skaggs are close buddies and even when were with the Angels, whoever threw that day, we'd always try to beat them the next day," he said. "I know (Kirk Gibson) loves a good competition around here and it just shows the talent that they have in this organization."

Status: Enrolling by invitation
Keywords: Parkinson's Disease , Movement Disorder , Family genetic
IRB Number: 00049741
Specialty: Neurology, Neurology, Neurology
Sub Specialties: Movement Disorders, Parkinson's Disease, Neurodegenerative Disorders
Brief Summary
Parkinson disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder. In most instances, PD is thought to result from a complex interaction between multiple common genetic and environmental factors, each having a small effect. Preliminary data suggest that there might be genes that modify risk for developing cognitive dysfunction in PD, but no such "modifier" genes have been definitively established to date.
The purpose of the PaGeR Study is to identify new causal, risk, and modifier genes in PD. To do this, the study will compare the frequencies of genetic variants in patients with PD with those of their unaffected relatives and with unrelated healthy controls. The study will also compare the frequencies of genetic markers in PD patients with and without cognitive impairment. Identification of new PD-related genes will lead to a better understanding of the pathophysiology of the disease. Such knowledge is critically needed to develop more effective treatments for PD.
Specific Aim#1: To identify genes that increase a person's risk of developing PD or a related disorder. Genes will be compared between patients with PD, their family members, and unrelated controls.
Hypothesis #1: Patients with PD will have detectable DNA alterations compared to non-PD patients.
Specific Aim#2: For PD patients, this study is also trying to find genes that increase the likelihood of developing certain PD-related problems such as cognitive deficit.
Hypothesis #2: Subtypes of PD patients (e.g., those with cognitive deficits) will have differences in their genetic make-up (e.g., those without cognitive deficits)

Have you wondered if you should use hydrogen peroxide in the ears? Well many people have done just that since Dr Richard Simmons hypothesized that the cold and flue viruses invade our body through the ear canal and not the nose and throat.
If you feel the on come of a cold or have an earache then you should put a few drops of 3% concentration of food grade hydrogen peroxide in each ear. This is not the regular 3% hydrogen peroxide that you can purchase at your local pharmacy but is regular 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide that has been diluted with distilled water.
You ill notice some bubbling of the solution and possibly a tingling feeling in the ear. This just proves that the hydrogen peroxide is working to kill the harmful bacteria and viruses. When the tingling and bubbling has stopped just drain the solution from the ear.
You can also use hydrogen peroxide, along with some olive oil in the ears to soften the wax build up. You first use an eye dropper to put some warm olive oil in the ear. Let it sit for a few minutes and then add a few drops of diluted food grade hydrogen peroxide. After the solution stops bubbling, you can drain the ear. You then fill a bulb aspirator with warm water and flush out the ear, removing the was.
Just another of the great hydrogen peroxide uses.

Nieuw Amsterdam Cruise Review by Kiwi Rua: Wonderful introduction to cruising

Compare Prices on Nieuw Amsterdam Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruises
Wonderful introduction to cruising
We (husband and I) were looking forward to this cruise as a relaxing end to 6 weeks of travelling around Europe. There was so much to see and do, however, that we didn't ever get into total relax mode, but we wouldn't have had it any other way. From embarkation to disembarkation at the end, we really couldn't fault HAL and we are already scheming towards another HAL cruise in the next year or so.
We arrived by train at St Lucia station from Nice and managed our bags ourselves over the bridge (no ramps, whyever not??) to the people mover. From here the ship wasn't well signposted and we found others as confused as we were looking for the luggage drop. However we'll be fine next time. Very pleasant staff on check in, we were delighted to find we had been upgraded to a veranda stateroom (from oceanview, very nice) and took possession of a lovely stateroom which far surpassed our expectations. It was a disabled room which meant plenty of room and we made good use of the balcony at More every opportunity, just fabulous entering and leaving port. Thank you HAL!
Bags arrived after a couple of hours and we were able to unpack completely and store bags under the beds. Plenty of storage. Met our room steward later, and this was one of the few times we actually saw either of them as we were nearly always out when they worked their magic. We did enjoy the towel critters though, as we were travelling with a little stuffed toy "Spotty Dog" which we take photos of at lots of points on our travels, for our wee 2 year old grandson. When we get home I will create a story with pictures for him about Spotty Dog's travels, and there will be a special chapter on his encounters with the weird and wonderful animals met in our stateroom, created by our stewards. Thank you, boys, we loved them! I took photos each time.
We chose anytime dining and had no problems being seated promptly at whatever time we wandered up to the MDR. We usually chose to sit with others and we met some lovely people on each occasion. The meals were extremely good, we thought, always beautifully presented and delicious, and not overly large which I think is good; by the time you've worked your way through three or even 4 courses, that's a seriously good meal. We also tried the Pinnacle Grill which was excellent, the fillet steak here was surpassingly good, and Tamarind which was something quite different and also exceptional.
We ate in the Lido a couple of times and enjoyed that too, though it's a different kind of dining. The food was tasty and varied but the servers often provided very small servings unless you asked for a little more. I guess that's no problem, you can always go back, maybe they are saving us from ourselves! We did find that breakfast in the Lido on port days was a busy affair with so many people wanting breakfast at the same time but the service staff were unfailingly calm and courteous and the crowd thinned out after half an hour or so. we discovered that the MDR is the place for a relaxed and leisurely breakfast and went there a couple of times to avoid the rush upstairs.
The thing that amazed us on this ship was the number of passengers whose attitude toward the staff was seriously lacking; we witnessed many occasions when stewards were spoken to rudely, snapped at, demanded for things and generally treated in a most arrogant and offhand way. Never once did we see any reaction to this behaviour on the past of ship staff and they should be commended for it. The words 'please' and 'thank you' are entirely missing from
many people's vocabulary. I felt like apologising for them sometimes.
Port excursions (the ship tours) were relatively expensive, we thought, though sometimes they were the most reliable way for us to see the highlights of a place and be sure of getting back to the ship on time. We joined a group of seasoned travellers on one occasion and had a most enjoyable private full day tour of Istanbul which covered a lot more than the ship tour offered, but once you know the ropes you can plan these excursions with confidence. CruiseCritic forums are valuable here, use the roll call to get to know your fellow travellers in advance.
We didn't take wine aboard or buy soda cards etc, choosing to buy the 3-bottle deals of wine in the MDR. The bottles followed us around the ship, wherever we ate and this was great, if a little expensive but we knew it would likely be so. Can't see the point of taking bottles of wine aboard if you can only drink them in your stateroom, better to be socialising in one of the many bars.
We met some lovely people this way.
Overall we just loved our 12 days on Nieuw Amsterdam and have nothing but praise for the ship, its management and the whole ambiance of the cruise. I can't imagine that any other cruise line could offer more, but then as a first time cruiser I have nothing to compare it with. No matter, we are already looking at another cruise in the future Less

Repartee at The Northern
Friday, November 15, 2013
At 10pm
Before she started Repartee, Meg Warren was a frustrated opera singer. She loved music, but hated the formality - so she started a synth-pop band. Repartee played their first gig in St. John's in 2009 and while a lot has changed since then, one thing remains the same - Repartee want to make you dance. In fact one publication says they can make you dance 'without giving a f*** about how foolish you look' (the Muse).
With an electric live show, hooky melodies and poignant, honest lyrics – Repartee are poised to do good things for pop music, for Newfoundland.

I know the CO2 setup could be cleaner, but I'm not touching the reg. I had several pieces of SS cease (basically galling) together and ruin parts. I ruined the needle valve (replaced it), I ruined 2 excellent little SS fittings, and I ruined a beautiful little SS burkert solenoid.
Even when I removed a part that came installed on the low pressure side, it was ceased. I don't know why it was so much trouble for me (even fittings I didn't put together), but now that it's working, I'm not risking ruining anything.
On Thursday my new 24" Finnex Ray 2 showed up. I set it on top of my Edge and was blown away by the output. The PC I have on it is quite a bit brighter than the LEDs that came with it, but the Finnex absolutely blows it out of the water. It's amazingly bright. I can't wait for my new tank to show up.
The pics below are both shot at the exact same ISO, aperture, and shutter speed, so they show the actual difference in light out put between the Ray 2 and my 27 watt power compact:

With a new tank on the way, I really need my aquasoil out of this tank. However, I also need to keep all of my plants, fish, and shrimp alive while I get the other setup going, and this is my only other tank. So...
I did a full tear down. Then I removed all of the aquasoil, rinsed it, and set it out on screens to dry in the garage. Meanwhile, I decided I may as well have a little fun with this since I'll probably have to keep it running for 1-2 more months while I DSM the new tank.
I picked up some miracle gro organic choice potting mix, sifted out all the junik, and capped it some pool filter sand for cheap. I came up with the little scape below on the fly. Up on the rock mound there is rotola, blyxia, and downoi. In front of the drift wood is bocopa. Lower right carpet is marsilea quadrifolia. Stuffed into the rock pile is anubias nana petite, and down in front of the rock pile is s.repens (which is new). Along the back of everything is jungle val. This gives my critters a nice home until I get the new tank completely ready for them.
I actually think it turned out pretty good for a quick one evening rescape with no plan. The water is still cloudy from the sand and I'm monitoring for a mini cycle. That said, it's been up for 48 hours now, and no ammonia. It all went pretty well.
The fish are definitely happy with it. They aren't hiding or anything and are swimming all over and showing their colors well.

So this tank is now becoming a jungle as I am collecting all of the plants I need for my new project. I wasn't really going for anything here I'm just trying to keep the plants in groups for repurposing, but it's starting to look pretty cool.

Two days ago, it dawned on me that I still like this tank, and just because it sucks for high tech doesn't mean it wouldn't still be fun for low light low tech. One of the significant issues with this tank is aquascaping through a 6.75" x 4.5" hole. You can't really fit any large, branchy, dramatic wood. But since it's low light, low tech, and will be lightly planted, I really want a substantial hardscape to set off what plants there will be.
While thinking about this, it suddenly clicked! I can use the same technique I did on my fallen tree build, except modify it to make it easy to install. I can only use one hand in the tank, so installing zip ties would be a nightmare. After a little abstract thinking, here is what I came up with. This will actually fit inside of an edge, and it's pre-zip-tied. All of the zip-ties go through holes drilled strategically in the manzanita wood so that their placement is relatively precise.
So here was the trick. The zip ties for the tall branches are loose right now, so I can lay them down flat. Then the thickness and width with he egg crate structure is just narrow and shallow enough to slip through the top hole of the Edge. Once it's in, the zip-ties are placed so that when I tighten them up the brances will stand up vertical again. I ran a dry run test and was easily able to assemble and tighten the structure with one hand. I think this should look pretty darn good in my Edge.
I figure I can put moss on the manzanita wood, and then start acquiring low light plants. I should have enough aquasoil left over from my other build to use that in here. That would give the plants all the nutrients they should need. That said, for this hardscape pool filter sand may look better, and then I could just use root tabs. Still undecided on that one.
Wannabe Guru
Also, this tank get's emptied of all of it's plants in 2-3 weeks, so that's when this new build will start.

Thats pretty cool that you figured out how to get all that through the little hole on the edge. With the substrate in it may look like one big piece instead of several small ones.

Our Featured Henderson, NV Partner:
Southern Nevada Bully Breed Rescue
Dog adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
Henderson, NV 89052
(702) 483-7487
Pets at Our Rescue Group:
Cities, Towns, and/or Counties We Serve:Southern Nevada, Southern California, Western Arizona
About Our Rescue Group:Southern Nevada Bully Breed Rescue (SNBBR) is a Not for Profit organization dedicated to saving shelter, stray and abandoned bully breed dogs in the Southern Nevada area. Our goal is to responsibly rescue and rehome these pets while implementing community outreach programs to promote responsible pet ownership and nurture breed ambassadors.
Donate to Our Rescue Group...
Come Meet our Pets:SNBBR does not have a physical shelter location. We operate through a network of local foster homes and boarding kennels. We attend several adoption events per month at different locations in Las Vegas and Henderson. We also have informal "meetups" at local dog parks. Please contact us if you would like to be notified of our next event.
Our Adoption Process:THE ADOPTION PROCESS
We are committed to placing our dogs in to great family homes that will last through their lifetime. Our goal is to match our wonderful dogs with the perfect family, and we know your goal is to find the perfect pet. Our adoption process will help us determine the best match for your family and lifestyle. This may or may not be the dog you've picked out from our Adoptables List, but we certainly encourage you to let us know which dog or dogs peak your interest!
Please read through our Adoption Policies below and be sure that you are ready to make the commitment to not just adopting a dog, but adopting a bully breed dog. There can be many challenges to owning certain breeds. For pit bull type dogs in particular there are many misconceptions and much discrimination.
Our adoption policies were created to ensure the happiness and well-being of everyone involved and, most importantly, for the safety of our dogs. We may make exceptions to certain policies on a case by case basis.
1. We do not ship dogs. If you are out of state, you must be willing and able to come in to the Vegas area to meet your potential new pet. If you have another pet, you'll need to bring him/her with you, and we really would like everyone who lives in the household to come in because these are people who will also be around the dog. We also will need to make sure we have a reliable rescue contact in your area to assist with the home visit.
2. You must be at least 21 years of age to adopt.
3. We require a valid driver's license showing your address as the same one entered on the Adoption Application. (Note - If you've just moved here, then your license should show your most recent previous address, also entered on the Application).
4. You must submit verifiable references, such as your employer, a co-worker, clergy person or family friend. Please do not use your spouse, boyfriend, girlfriend, mother, father or child as a reference. Also, please inform the people you're using as a reference that they will be contacted by us and to please respond. We cannot process the application if your references don't get back to us!
5. If you've owned a pet within the last 5 years, please list the Veterinarian info even if it is out of state.
6. Contrary to popular belief, not all dogs know how to swim - therefore, if you have a swimming pool, we need to pool test any dogs that we're unsure about. If you are adopting a puppy, your pool MUST be fenced and the bars of the fence must be close enough to prevent the puppy from accessing the pool unsupervised.
7. We do not adopt to homes with children under the age of 5 years - no exceptions. Please click here for further explanation of this policy.
8. Regarding other pets in the home:
In general, we prefer opposite gender placements. So if you have a male dog, we encourage you to consider a female and vice versa. This is one of the "flexible" policies, as we do have MALE dogs that get along great with other other male dogs as well as females. For the most part, females are best paired with a male.
If you have a cat or small dog and especially if you have multiples of either -- most of our bully dogs are not going to be the best playmate for your shih tzu or kitty. We do usually have a few dogs with little to no prey drive, but in general our dogs are best placed with one other medium to large breed dog. Remember even if our dog is friendly with small dogs, because they are big and sometimes a little overzealous in play, he/she can easily hurt a small dog or cat by accident.
9. We require a home visit prior to any adoption being finalized. The home visit is not done to see if you've done dishes today or made the bed, we use this time to talk to you and your family about the pet you applied to adopt, answer questions, give advice, etc. We honestly do not look in your medicine cabinet, but we do want to see the backyard and that is only to make sure that there isn't something that needs attention that may have escaped your notice and to give suggestions if needed for the safety of the pet.
10. All pets are *spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped prior to adoption. *Puppies which are too young for the surgery may be taken home under a Foster to Adopt contract, which is finalized after the surgery is performed by our vet. Please speak to your adoption contact for more information on this option.
11.Your adoption fee also includes a session with our trainer. We encourage you to take advantage of this session, which will make life much easier for you and your new dog.
Our standard adoption fees are as follows:
Puppies up to 6 months of age: $200.00
Puppies from 7 months to Adult Dogs up to 7 years: $150.00
Mature Dogs (7+ yrs of age): $100.00
*Seniors for Seniors Dogs: $75.00 *Applies to adoptions of senior pets to senior households.
The Adoption Fee may be paid by check or cash. The Adoption Fee is paid in full at the time the Adoption Contract is signed. Returned checks incur a $35.00 bank charge, and will be cause for denying the application and taking back the pet.
12. All approved adopters must sign a legally binding Adoption Contract. The Adoption Contract stipulates, among other things, that the pet MUST be returned to SNBBR if the adoption does not work out for any reason. You are not allowed to give the pet away, adopt it to someone else, sell it on Craigslist or bring it to the shelter.

When marketing abroad, you must adapt to another country's culture and way of doing business. While many foreign businesspeople speak English and are knowledgeable about U.S. business practices, they operate according to their own unique cultural assumptions.
U.S. businesspersons frequently use slang, tell jokes, address one another by nicknames, and express their emotions through facial expressions or hand gestures during a meeting. Their counterparts in western Europe, Canada and Asia, however, are far more reserved. They observe a sense of decorum in addressing each other by using last names and titles, with no casual gossip or joking comments that could make someone feel uncomfortable.
Probably the biggest cultural adjustment for U.S. exporters is accepting how business decisions are made overseas. American entrepreneurs are independent thinkers, quick to make their own decisions. In Asia and western Europe, business decisions require a group consensus and can take months, even years, to finalize. "The process is much slower because these countries view business commitments as long-term relationships, based on mutual trust and respect for the trading partners," notes Judith Starkey, president of The Starkey Group Inc., a Chicago-based management consulting firm specializing in interpersonal relations in a multicultural environment. "Building this trust takes time. So to make the relationship work, you've got to commit to the long term."
Of course, the rules of protocol vary with every country. The best way to guarantee you'll be using the right business etiquette is to read up on a country's social and cultural history. Have your business cards printed bilingually. Use textbook-perfect grammar and avoid slang like "OK" or "for sure." When in doubt, follow your host's lead, adapting your pace and manner to his.

Dáil Éireann - Volume 589 - 05 October, 2004
Written Answers. - Departmental Funding.
Mr. Cuffe Mr. Cuffe
144. Mr. Cuffe asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs if he will report on the role of his Department in assisting the residents of Pollathomas, County Mayo a year after this community experienced significant landslides. [22900/04]
Éamon Ó Cuív Éamon Ó Cuív
Éamon Ó Cuív: I would like to indicate that primary responsibility in this instance lies with my colleague, the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government.
As the Deputy is aware, Pollathomas is a designated Gaeltacht area and, as Minister with responsibility for Gaeltacht Affairs, I have visited the area on a number of occasions. My Department, in co-operation with the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government and the Office of Public Works has played an active role in providing additional assistance to Mayo Council County to enable them to complete necessary infrastructural repairs in the area. A total of €148,115 has been sanctioned by my Department to date for repair works to the graveyard, walls and roads in the area.
My Department is also represented on the Pollathomas implementation working group, which was set up in March 2004 and includes representatives of Mayo County Council, the Office of Public Works and the Department of Environment, Heritage and Local Government. The objective was to bring together representatives of the main bodies involved in dealing with the after effects of the Pollathomas landslides with a view to bringing the outstanding issues to finality. I understand that the working group's report will be available in the near future.

ICD-10: Time's Up; No More Excuses
As worrisome as the final deadlines for use of ICD-10 codes are, it's time to devote significant resources to getting ready for them.
Belittled in some quarters as a make-work, vendor-enriching government regulation, ICD-10 actually gets right to the heart of improving the quality of care.
Don't take my word for it, even if you read my recent story in HealthLeaders magazine. Listen to Sharon Korzdorfer, director of information management at St. Luke's Hospital of Kansas City.
St. Luke's is a not-for-profit, acute-care, tertiary academic teaching institution with more than 600 beds. It is one hospital out of an 11-hospital health system. Eight of the facilities run McKesson EMRs, and the three critical-access hospitals use CPSI, a platform designed specifically for critical access hospitals, with a completely different billing process to McKesson's.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.
Dr Jeremy A Lazarus (9/14/2012 at 3:44 PM)
The article's theory regarding the AMA's opposition to ICD-10 implementation is unfounded and unsubstantiated. The true basis of the AMA's policy has already been accurately reported by HealthLeaders (http://www.healthleadersmedia.com/page-1/NRS-273412/ICD10-Cost-Timing-Concerns-Explain-AMA-Vote) and other publications when physicians passed a directive instructing the AMA to intervene on their behalf. The timing of the ICD-10 transition could not be worse. Physicians are spending significant financial and administrative resources to cope with overlapping regulatory requirements and multiple government programs that include penalties for noncompliance. At the same time, physicians face a continued threat of drastic Medicare payments cuts year after year. The mounting burdens take time away from patient care. Burdens on physician practices need to be reduced - not created - as we work to get the best value possible for the health care dollar and the nation undertakes significant payment and delivery reforms. The AMA will continue to urge the government to make good on its commitment to improve the regulatory climate for physicians. In the meantime, physicians need to understand the impact ICD-10 will have on their practices, and the AMA has devoted considerable effort to educational programs and resources to get them ready (http://www.ama-assn.org/go/ICD-10). Jeremy A. Lazarus, M.D. President, American Medical Association

I must have missed a step..what happens under ICD-10 to the CPT system that the AMA would not be happy with?
usausa (9/12/2012 at 5:32 PM)
In the past 20 years I have headed up the coding section at 3 large hospitals, one for profit, one not for profit and now a University setting. In none of these hospitals were Physicians ready (or willing) to document to the extent ICD-10 will require and coders are NOT prepared to code to the level ICD-10 will require. It will be the unprepared leading the recalcitrant and revenues will drop like a rock. With electronic health records, Obamacare, and RACs already devastating what little revenues hospitals and physician's offices have, the smartest thing done to date was to postpone ICD-10,and that needs to be for TWO years not one. The commentators in favor of ICD-10, in my opinion, unanmously appear to benefit from the implementation in some way. Those of us who will be on the front lines can see what is going to happen, and it is our opinion that the entire medical profession(and the patients we serve) need to "Be afraid - be very afraid!"

Hi all,
Just an alert. I've been using genkernel for most of my kernels (manually
configured then just build with --no-clean all options).
However, genkernel-3.3.5 will no longer successfully build kernels for me. I
get errors at the busybox stage of the build.
I've unmerged and went back to 3.1.6 (previous stable) and it is working fine
I'm trying to ID the problem before filing a bug report but thought people might
run into it before I'm able to file.

...passenger jet in near-collision with UFO - Will the next president come clean about UFOs? They're already doing this in the UK!
On Monday, Oct. 20 The Sun newspaper in the UK reported that in 1991, an Alitalia passenger jet was coming in for a landing at Heathrow airport had a near miss with a UFO. The UFO is described as a "brown, missile-shaped object." Air traffic controllers also reported an unknown object on their screens.
The Ministry of Defense investigated but left the matter unsolved, although they DID rule out a missile, weather balloon or space rocket.

Tony Stewart breaks leg in sprint car race
Every racecar driver knows that racing is a dangerous sport. They accept the risks and know what can happen every time they get behind the wheel. NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is now paying the price as he broke his right leg during a Sprint car race at Southern Iowa Speedway on Monday night.
Stewart, a three-time NASCAR Cup series champion, had surgery to repair a broken tibia and fibula in his right leg on Tuesday morning. Stewart will remain hospitalized for observation and will need a second surgery, according to ESPN. Tony sent a message out to fans on his website.
"I told someone to go get my phone or else I was going to get up and get it myself," Stewart said in the message on his website, ESPN notes. "Finally got reconnected to the world and just want to say thank you for all the prayers and well wishes. My team will remain strong and I will be back."
Stewart is expected to miss the next three races at least, according to Sporting News. Max Papis will fill in for Stewart this weekend at Watkins Glen. It is unknown at this time who will fill in for Stewart after Watkins Glen. Stewart's injury means that his 521 consecutive start streak will come to an end. It was the third longest streak among active drivers, behind Jeff Gordon and Jeff Burton, according to MotorSports Talk.
Stewart has one win so far this season, and is currently 11th in points with five races before the Chase for the Sprint Cup. With Stewart miss at least the next three races, he won't make the Chase. However there is hope for Stewart-Hass Racing to make the Chase. Stewart's teammate is in a battle for a Chase spot, has one win and could make the Chase.

U.S. consumers increased their spending in July by the largest amount in 6 months and the back-to-school shopping season got off to a strong start in August, according to an AP report.
The U.S. Commerce Department reported that July consumer spending rose by 0.8 percent, double the 0.4-percent gain in June, reflecting a rebound in auto sales.
Meanwhile, many of the U.S.'s retailers reported solid gains for back-to-school shopping in August, led by better-than-expected increases at retailing giant Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and many teen retailers such as Abercrombie and Fitch Co. and Wet Seal Inc.
The new reports provided evidence that consumers are continuing to spend despite rising interest rates, a cooling housing market and gasoline prices that hit records this summer above U.S. $3 per gallon.
That is good news for the economy, given that consumer spending accounts for two-thirds of total economic growth. A slowdown in consumer spending in the spring contributed to a sharp drop in overall economic activity and raised worries that further consumer cutbacks could short-circuit the economic expansion.
Some analysts say overall economic growth in the second half of this year may come in at a stronger pace than expected, based on the rebound in consumer spending. But they said it was critical that consumer confidence stabilize in coming months.
