At a Glance
Now that proactive health services are increasingly being paid for by third parties, entirely new bases for and kinds of pricing are being practiced. New options becoming common include:
For decades, hospital prices have been fictions. Prices hospitals have charged have had little relationship to the hospitals' costs and too often have seemed outrageous to patients, who may find themselves being charged many times more than they would pay themselves for simple items such as aspirin or tissue. And because hospitals' charges are less than their costs for some services, and more than their costs for others, hospitals have encouraged competitors to cherry-pick those services that are consistently profitable, while general full-service hospitals struggle to maintain an adequate margin.
Another characteristic of traditional hospital pricing is that it has focused on "reactive" care-care intended to detect and treat or cure acute conditions, plus the crises, complications, and worsening of chronic conditions that were not prevented. Reactive care represents the vast majority of our health system expenditures.
Questions of how much reactive care is worth, to individuals and to society, often have been discussed in terms of the worth of human life, of "quality life years added," and similar benefits. No such calculations or estimates have been widely accepted by payers, so the current payer-dominated, "barely-squeeze-by" levels paid to providers have become dominant. A few hundred hospitals have sought alternative pricing through products and services sold directly to consumers. And a few hundred physicians have sought the same through retainer or cash-only practices, usually aimed at the affluent minority willing to pay premium prices for premium service.
Unlike most reactive care, proactive care offers the possibility of not only improved health, but also cost savings for the overall health system. Therefore, proactive care has been at the heart of innovations in pricing and payment.
Proactive care includes all medical interventions intended to precede and minimize, mitigate, delay, or avoid altogether some kind of future more expensive and severe medical interventions. Examples include health promotion, health risk behavior or risk condition management, and disease management.
Like reactive care, proactive care is sometimes priced for sale directly to consumers. Hundreds of hospitals and many physicians offer proactive "executive health" or "health vacation/medical spa" programs, mainly to affluent executives whose employers often foot the bill, or to wealthy individuals willing to pay out-of-pocket. Hundreds of hospitals offer medical fitness center programs, usually at prices affordable to the average person, though add-ons for personal trainers and coaches can get expensive.
But when proactive services are aimed at and paid for by third parties-employers, commercial insurers, and government programs such as Medicaid and Medicare-entirely new bases for and kinds of pricing have become available and practiced. Traditional fee-for-service and payer-dictated examples exist, but far more common are the new options:
What all these methods share is an entirely new basis for setting prices: not on how much life or cures are worth to consumers or society, but on how much payers are willing to share of how much they save from proactive interventions.
This approach has a far more severe upper pricing and payment limit than for reactive care. Consider the millions that providers have spent and insurers have paid for reactive care for individual infants in the neonatal intensive care unit, single cases of life-threatening cancer treatments, and catastrophically injured individuals. That level of expenditure does not seem to be contemplated for proactive care.
Even if proactive interventions were to reduce the incidence of NICU preemies, for example, and save millions in the process, the interventions would have to be spent on hundreds or thousands of patients to avoid one million-dollar case. Hence, the amount spent per individual would be dramatically less than the amount spent as a whole. If 1,000 patients must be proactively "treated" to prevent one million-dollar preemie case, then the payment for each patient treated cannot be more than $1,000, or else there will be no ROI.
Because proactive interventions often have to be aimed at large numbers to have the desired impact on small numbers, investments in each intervention, and in each of the four categories of proactive interventions, tend to vary greatly by risk or disease-and by the probability that the people to be addressed will repay the effort put into their proactive care by changing their behaviors appropriately and profitably for payers.
The vast majority of proactive interventions are currently being aimed at disease management patients. These include case/care management efforts aimed at acute patients already in reactive care to improve quality and minimize unnecessary or overly expensive testing and treatment. But more is being spent on proactive chronic disease management cases, aiming to prevent crises, complications, and worsening thereof. This is where the most money can be saved most quickly, and most payers are focused on short-term savings, typically those that will be enjoyed within the same year as their investments are made.
For example, CMS demonstration projects with large physician groups and integrated systems require contracting providers to treat their patients at costs at least 2 percent lower than the projected costs for such patients assuming traditional reactive care, rather than proactive disease management. If providers do not save at least 2 percent, no payment whatsoever will be made to the providers. But if providers save more than 2 percent, CMS will share 80 percent of those additional savings with the providers who made them possible, while keeping only 20 percent itself.
It is generally believed that disease management aimed at congestive heart patients can save 30 percent to 50 percent of the costs of unmanaged care, so providers using this approach for patients with congestive heart failure may be sharing in tens of thousands of dollars saved per patient per year. With diabetes, savings are more likely to be in the range of 10 percent to 20 percent; asthma patients may yield only 5 percent to 10 percent because their management involves increasing their compliance with using expensive medications, even as costs for emergency department visits decline, for example.
The percentage of savings possible, the likelihood of achieving such savings given the varying levels of cooperation expected among patients, and the costs of achieving such cooperation, along with costs of medical interventions, all will determine how much there is to share with providers, and whether the gainsharing approach or negotiated price will cover providers' costs. Hence, this combination will determine which providers will participate in which disease management programs with which patients.
Rather than upper limits being based on how much patients and society gain from reactive care, the upper limits on proactive care payments will be based on how much payers save. For this reason, providers will have to be careful of which diseases and patients they accept responsibility for, and which payers they deal with. And the unresponsiveness of individual patients to proactive provider efforts may provide a new reason for removing patients from proactive health programs if it costs more in time and effort to achieve a meaningful response than that response is worth to a payer (D. Willis & A. Zerr, "Terminating a Patient," Medscape.com, Sept. 20, 2005).
Which payers are most likely to pay the price for proactive care?
Employers. Employers may be the most promising prospects, because they usually have the most to save from proactive interventions. Employees' and dependents' health affects employers' short- and long-term disability and workers compensation insurance costs, as well as their health insurance costs; therefore, they can gain much more from proactive care than can insurers. And because employers also gain in reduced labor costs through results such as reductions in absenteeism, presenteeism, and turnover, as well as improved morale, they may realize cost savings that are many times the amounts they save in health insurance alone.
Medicaid. Medicaid may have significant savings potential in prenatal care for mothers and in proactive child health and development care for children, for example. However, given that the average tenure for Medicaid beneficiaries is a matter of a few months, the period in which savings must occur for Medicaid to enjoy such savings is brief. Only the highest-risk patients with the most likelihood of avoiding the highest expenditures in the nearest future may be good prospects.
Medicare. Medicare, by contrast, at least for beneficiaries in fee-for-service coverage, can afford to take a longer-term perspective of ROI. Medicare life expectancy, and hence coverage risk, is a decade or two on average. Medicare could theoretically afford to devote investments to not just disease management, but also health risk or predisease conditions, even health risk behaviors and health promotion. Medicare already covers smoking cessation programs, for example, though only for beneficiaries with smoking-related conditions. Medicare tends to focus far more on disease management, because chronic conditions are much more common and expensive among the elderly.
Commercial payers. Commercial insurance probably has the least to save overall, but may have significant savings potential for at-risk members. CHF patients covered under commercial plans can probably produce savings that are at least close to those available in Medicare. The same is likely true for diabetes and asthma, and a large proportion of asthma patients are children, where dramatic savings may be achieved.
Also, commercial insurance companies are already heavily involved in, and increasing their investments in, Medicare1Choice managed care coverage of Medicare beneficiaries, now that they are out from under their former prescription drug risks. Although there may be fewer unhealthy members in such coverage than in fee-for-service Medicare, there will certainly be plenty of patients with chronic conditions and, therefore, plenty of potential savings to be shared with providers who can perform well in disease management.
Whether any of these payers will be willing to share enough, and providers able to save enough, to make proactive interventions feasible for providers is in the process of being discovered. Unfortunately, payers tend to deal with proactive medical care the same way they do reactive care-that is, as if there is one best practice, as if it can be studied as a standard "treatment" whose costs can be compared with its savings.
But disease management, health risk condition management, health risk behavior management, and health promotion are all highly variable concepts, rather than uniform treatments, even when they are focused on identical diseases, conditions, risks, or health status metrics. There are no proven best practices, no evidence-based-medicine guidelines and protocols that all providers should follow. We are still in the early experimental stages of proactive care and have years to go before we have the evidence.
So providers will have to make a case for proactive care when approaching payers. Providers may have to guarantee a certain savings or take a risk/reward pricing option. For proactive care offered on a retail basis to consumers, providers will continue to enjoy market options, including take-it-or-leave-it prices, negotiated prices, or tiered pricing for different levels of support or different conditions. However, with payers, they will have to cope with an upper limit on payer willingness to share, as well as on what will be shared. And providers constantly will have to adjust their intervention methods and costs to fit within both.

Cell-cell interactions, signal transduction, and cell fate choice; genetic and molecular studies of C. elegans development.
Current Research:
One of the fundamental problems in developmental biology is how so many different cell types are generated from a one-cell zygote. It is known that cell-cell interactions play important roles in cell type specification during development. We study this process in the nematode C. elegans, which is extremely tractable to genetic and molecular manipulation. However, since the mechanisms and molecules involved in cell fate specification appear to be conserved in mammals, studies in simpler organisms such as C. elegans have direct application to higher animals.
Many projects in my laboratory involve the study of lin-12 gene. LIN-12 is the archetype of the LIN-12/Notch family of putative transmembrane proteins that is found throught the animal kingdom. In C. elegans, LIN-12 appears to function as a receptor during cell-cell interactions that specify cell fate. In mammals, genes related to lin-12 are important for normal development; furthermore, mutations in genes related to lin-12 have been associated with cancer in mice and people. Ultimately, we want to understand the molecular mechanism by which lin-12 and its relatives in higher organisms specify cell fates. We have adopted a number of stategies to achieve this goal. One strategy is a "genetics in reverse" approach. This strategy has included performing structure/function analyses of lin-12 and its ligands by using homologous and heterologous regulatory sequences to direct expression of mutant proteins in C. elegans. Another strategy is to identify other genes that influence lin-12 activity. We have identified a number of sel genes, which may interact directly or indirectly with lin-12, by mutations that suppress and/or enhance lin-12 mutations. In addition, we have screened directly for proteins that interact with defined regions of LIN-12 protein. A combination of genetic and molecular characterization of candidate genes is elucidating their role in lin-12-mediated cell signaling.
Our interest in one sel gene, sel-12, extends beyond its involvement in lin-12-mediated signaling. The SEL-12 protein is highly similar to human presenilins, which have been implicated in the development of Alzheimer's disease. The ability to bring the powerful tools of classical and molecular genetic studies in C.elegans can now be brought to bear on fundamental issues of the structure and function of the presenilins, using the same strategies as we have used for studying lin-12.

Disclaimer: I am not a Nazi nor have I ever been one. I find Hitler and Nazism disgusting and wholly despicable.
This past semester in my Comp 2 course I gave out weekly essay readings to my students on which they were expected to respond and participate during our discussion days. I routinely asked my students whether or not they liked the essay we read for whatever week and why they liked or disliked it. For those writing teachers out there, you know that to ask a student whether they liked or disliked something can be a discussion killer because those types of questions usually elicit one word responses (e.g.Yes and No). But, I don't mind prodding my students a little for more descriptive response so it works out eventually.
One piece we read over this past semester was a chapter (Ch. 6 "War Propaganda") from Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler. I originally got the piece out of a book examining academic discourse titled Texts to Text: Mastering Academic Discourse by George H. Jensen. In the excerpt from Mein Kampf, Hitler discusses how Germany can regain it's glory and how propaganda is essential to Germany's potential success. It is a logical and easy to understand argument. My students found this reading one of the best over the entire semester.
During our post-reading discussion, one of my students said he wasn't sure if it was okay to say what he was thinking. I told him to go ahead because my classroom is a safe place for constructive ideas. My student said he thought that Hitler's argument "made sense." Well, the rest of my class just stared at him. I smiled and told him that Hitler had just achieved one of his goals as a writer.
He made my student agree with him to some extent. Now, my student was not a Nazi or racist, but Hitler's argument, taken out of context of course, does make sense. He uses writing to logically construct an argument for nationalism. We all agreed that Hitler was an insane psychopath bent on world domination through the destruction of parts of the human race; however, that does not mean Hitler was not a talented writer and orator.
So, I used that piece to illustrate how writing can be used for good and for evil. How writing and message is influenced by the author and how the author is responsible for his or her message.
My students loved the reading and the discussion afterward was some of the best all semester.

The start of a menopausal period is a difficult and challenging time for women. When the body is undergoing hormonal and physical changes, it affects the personality and activities of women because of the symptoms that are often hard to deal with. That is why women are advised to attend stress debriefing programs and other health practice that will help them cope with stress. Women should learn to incorporate some practices in their daily activities in order to reduce menopause-related stress.
It is important to know the symptoms of menopause so that when you or somebody in the family experiences it, you will know how to treat her. Understanding and helping a woman under menopause will also reduce stress and make life much better for them.

Nominated for an Academy Award, this film chronicles the hard-fought campaign for mayor of Newark, New Jersey, by Corey Booker, a young community activist and City Council member, against a 16-year incumbent with a powerful political machine.
Street Fight movie trailer - starring Cory Booker, Sharpe James. Directed by Marshall Curry. Theatrical Release Date: 2/22/2006
Genre: Documentary
Street Fight, the Oscar-nominated documentary, is a riveting story about the underbelly of American democracy.

West Side rallies past Highland
By Dennis Churilla Post-Tribune correspondent November 1, 2013 11:10PM
West Side's Jon Vea' Johnson evades the tackle of Highland's Seth Hardy to run for a touchdown in the second quarter of play during their sectional game held at Highland High School on Friday November 1, 2013. | Charles Mitchell/for Sun-Times Media

HIGHLAND — For two-and-a-half quarters Friday night, it looked like Highland would duplicate last year's sectional semifinal victory over West Side. The Trojans were grinding up the Cougars as Highland built a sizable advantage.
But a series of fumbles and almost-fumbles changed everything. West Side capitalized on a pair of third-quarter turnovers deep in Trojans territory to grab a 46-27 victory over Highland.
"I'm the cool one," West Side coach Jason Johnson said of his halftime motivation. "My assistant coaches are the nasty ones. They took them in (the locker room) and shook them up a bit."
West Side (7-4) finally found some signs of life midway through the third quarter when the Cougars finished a 65-yard scoring drive with Lonnie Johnson's 3-yard touchdown run. On the ensuing kickoff, Highland lost a fumble and West Side recovered at the Trojans 15-yard line.
The Cougars were driving for the go-ahead touchdown when Jon Vea Johnson apparently fumbled on a first down run. The Trojans believed they recovered the ball, but the officials ruled Johnson down before the fumble. A couple plays later, West Side took its first lead at 26-21 on Henry Smith's 12-yard touchdown reception from Ramone Atkins.
Highland lost another fumble on its next possession and West Side got an 11-yard touchdown pass from Atkins to William Wadley off that turnover. Atkins followed that with an 11-yard touchdown pass to Christian Jacob as the Cougars reeled off 34 unanswered points. Atkins finished the night completing 13 of 27 passes for 191 yards and four touchdowns.
Highland's Ian Hardy carried the ball 32 times for 221 yards and three touchdowns. The Trojans' 5-6 record is their best finish since they went 6-6 in 2004.

US Economy Could Withstand Brief Fall Off 'cliff'
Economists note that recipients of unemployment aid tend to spend that money quickly, giving a lift to the economy. The expiration of the extended benefits would cut economic growth by about 0.2 percentage point next year, the Congressional Budget Office estimates.
The gravest scenario would be if the budget talks collapsed, negotiators went home and the tax increases and spending cuts appeared to be permanent.
In that case, Macroeconomic Advisors, a forecasting firm, warns that the Dow Jones industrial average could plunge up to 2,000 points within days. Businesses would turn gloomier in anticipation of Americans paying higher taxes. Retailers would order fewer cars, appliances and clothing. Consumers' confidence would likely plummet, followed by their spending.
The economy would shrink at an annual rate of 0.6 percent in the first three months of 2013, estimates Joel Prakken, an economist at Macroeconomic Advisors. That compares with an estimated 1.9 percent growth rate if a deal is reached.CBO forecasts that the economy would decline 0.5 percent in the first half of 2013 and fall into recession. The unemployment rate would rise to 9.1 percent from the current 7.7 percent. Most economists are counting on fear of such a disaster to prod Congress and the White House to make a deal. But analysts expect the Social Security tax cut and extended unemployment benefits to end. Those two changes would lower growth by 0.7 percentage point next year, the CBO estimates. Under that scenario, Social Security taxes would revert back to 6.2 percent on the first $110,000 of income, up from 4.2 percent. The increase would cost someone earning $50,000 an extra $1,000 a year, or nearly $20 a week. Some consumers have been getting nervous. Mike Duke, CEO of Wal-Mart Stores Inc., said Tuesday that in a poll last month of the store's shoppers, an overwhelming majority were aware of the threat of high taxes from the cliff. And some said it would lead them to cut back their holiday buying, Duke said. Wal-Mart, the world's largest retailer, is considered an economic bellwether.

The Ambassador's wife
- Comments (10)
- Recommended (2)

As is my habit, I randomly stumbled upon an article entitled "The role of the Ambassador's wife." This article was actually published by the Journal of Marriage and Family (Volume. 31 No. 1) in February 1969 and written by a female professor with a Ph.D in Sociology, from the University of California, Berkeley. Seriously when I looked at this article my thought was 'what in the heavens was she thinking when she wrote this? In her own words, her thesis sought to explore the role of the ambassador's wife and in her introduction she stated;
"The role of the ambassador's wife is largely shaped by her husband's role and spokesman for the American government. This paper examines the way in which his job affects hers…"
Yes in 1969 as in many other political and decision-making positions, the position of the Ambassador was predominantly male territory. However I cannot understand how an American professor could publish an academic article of this nature at a time when female ambassadors were not such a strange phenomenon. There might not have been as many female ambassadors as there are now but in my view an article of this nature only served to perpetuate the gender stereotype and the belief that only men could be ambassadors and women the ambassador's wives.One can not help but develop an image of the ambassador's wife as the socialite, paying attention to the wining and dining of her husband's guests while he talks politics.
The world's first female ambassador, Hungarian feminist and activist Rosika Schwimmer, was appointed in 1918 to serve in Switzerland. Well done to Hungary for being a trendsetter in that regard. By 1969, when the article was written many countries had appointed female ambassadors: Belgium, Bolivia, Bulgaria, Burma, Colombia, Cuba, Finland, France, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Hungary, Iraq, Ireland, Lithuania, Paraguay Romania, South Korea, Sri Lanka, The Netherlands, Venezuela, and the former Yugoslavia had had at least one female ambassador. Austria, Costa Rica, Germany, Indonesia, Israel, New Zealand and Tanzania had appointed two; Mexico, Morocco and Pakistan three; Sweden four; Brazil, Chile, Denmark, India and the USA five and the highest number had come from Canada with six female ambassadors by 1969.
Surely coming from a country where the first female ambassador Frances Willis had been appointed in 1962 and the first African-American female ambassador, Patricia Harris, had also been appointed 3 years on the author should have realised the inappropriateness of her research topic at a time when women were fighting for political, economic and social equality of the sexes, what we have popularly come to know as the feminist struggle.
Fortunately for all of us, the world has come to recognise how certain labels can act destructively to perpetuate gender stereotypes. Hence a change in the name given to a group can stir transformation in mindsets and begin to unseat years of deep seated misguided notions about what women can do as compared to men. So from having a Diplomatic 'wives' Association we now have a Diplomatic 'spouses' Association. Yes, women too can be ambassadors and their partner would be regarded as a spouse not wife. With regard to countries that have legalised same sex marriages, the dynamics would be even more complicated where the ambassador is either male or female married to another male or female, respectively.
So I looked at this article and I appreciated how far we, as women, have come in asserting ourselves as equals, with equal capabilities to those of men. Previously male dominated fields including law, politics and diplomacy have been penetrated by women. I am proud of these achievements as I am one of those who have benefitted from the years of struggle.
Where previously the idea of a female president was scoffed upon today we have plenty of them. Current serving female presidents are Tarja Kaarina Halonen, Finland's first woman president; Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, current President of Liberia and the first African female President; Micheline Calmy-Rey President of Switzerland; Pratibha Patil President of India; Cristina Fernández de Kirchner of Argentina; Dalia Grybauskaite of Lithuania; Laura Chinchilla Miranda of Costa Rica; Roza Otunbayeva Interim president of Kyrgyzstan; Dilma Rousseff President of Brazil; Maria Luisa Berti Co-Captain-regent (head of State and Government) of San Marino; Atifete Jahjaga President of Kosovo and Ireland's President Mary McAleese.
We also have a number of female prime ministers: Germany Chancellor Angela Merkel, Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wajed, Iceland Prime Minister Jóhanna Sigurdardóttir, Croatia Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor, Trinidad and Tobago Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, Australia Prime Minister Julia Gillard , Slovakia Prime Minister Iveta Radicová, Peru Prime Minister Rosario Fernández, Thailand Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and Cissé Mariam Kaïdama Sidibé Prime minister of Mali.
Scores of influential women whose work has transformed our societies and proved that women are as capable as men, or even better live among us. Just to mention a few phenomenal women: Maya Angelou an inspirational writer and poet, Aung San Suu Kyi the Burmese political activist whose quiet strength in the struggle for democracy has inspired many, Hillary Clinton who serves as the US Secretary of State, Navenatham Pillay who is the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Oprah Winfrey whose sheer determination to rise to the top and become a billionaire has motivated women particularly black women that they can make it too in a difficult world governed by unjustifiable stereotypes, Christiane Amanpour who has broken barriers in the field of journalism, and Michelle Bachelet who is the first Executive Director of the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women).
These women have rejected, challenged and triumphed over cultural perceptions of women as incompetent beings. They have shown how women can assert their presence and their voices in the political, social, economic and cultural spheres. They have worked hard to define women as equal citizens with equal rights. They have displayed great strength and risen above oppression and subordination and for that I salute them. Indeed these and other women are living proof that women can do it too and the era of the 'Ambassador's wife' is gone, never to come back again...or at least I hope.
You Go girl! Love this article!
Women are no longer liabilities but assets to their countries.
well said dear sister
You are amazing in your presentation. I always love to read your works. They are not only filled with great knowledge but also an outstanding representation of womanhood.
The ambassador's wife is an interesting piece of reference to all. Once more, many thanks for drawing up such a firm analysis and also raising the concern. I am very sure - a lot of people who reads this article will start to visualize the role of women differently.
This is beautiful. If you dont mind - I will like to share your essay with a couple of friends and as well on my blogs (with reference tothis page) @ http://zofem.blogspot.com

Very Deep Indeed
Thank you for sharing the article on "The Ambassadors Wife". Your review of the write up is very informing, just as much as it is inspiring. The world is waiting to hear you!
Very Warm Regards,
Gal you are amazing this is great amazing piece of work.Brings to me fond Memories of my great friend of the Canadian High Commission in Kenya.A versatile Diplomatic wife ,who spend numerous times in the community .Helping women to understand the need to rise up from their slumber of hoplessness.
After walking with her to visit women in Kibera,it is only that I realised she belonged to the Diplmatic Wife Association,behind the Community responsibility at the Commission lay a committed woman to service.
I miss her alot.
You actually brought fond memories of a unsung diplomat wife many didnt know,but I had all the privileges.

Thanks ma Dube
Thanks Dear Sister,
It is not only the diplomat spouses,look around all the big men personality.The wives of Presidents,maybe it is only Hillary Clinton to my opinion,who defined to herself what it is to be diplomat.And I wish the women in those position will raise the bar and continue with diplomatic mission autonomously without the interference.
Otherwise keep up with that insightful writing.It gives me pleasure to connect with great minds of women in Pulse.

ONEONTA, N.Y. -- More than a hundred SUNY Oneonta students returned to their dorm Friday, after last week's fire at Matteson Hall.
The fire in a suite on the third floor caused significant damage to the building's electrical system, the top floor is been closed for the semester, but students living in the rest of the building were welcomed back Friday.
They had been staying at a nearby Holiday Inn, while contractors and cleaning crews prepared the building for their return.
The rest of the students were reassigned to rooms in other residence halls late last week.

12 Quality DIY Tools for Kids
So far, my 2-year-old son's only experience with construction are his wooden blocks. But soon he'll be into real building and fixing. What better way to encourage the process than by giving him his own set of tools? I prefer the older version of childhood (the DIY creativity of The Boy Mechanic) to the newer one (the zombie stare of the Xbox). Here are some potential items for junior's first toolbox.
By Doug Mahoney
Dremel Engraver
When the little guy starts making things, he's going to want to put his name on them. This is a good, compact engraver that can dimple a name into metal, wood, your nice coffee table, or the hood of your car. In fact, you'll probably want to make sure he learns restraint before using this tool.

Westland woman run over, killed by boyfriend's ex-girlfriend
Updated On: Mar 22 2013 05:20:12 PM EDT
Amanda Hall's friends describe her as a loving mother with four young children. A memorial continues to grow on the street where the 25-year-old Westland woman was killed.
Police say Hall was walking Thursday afternoon near her aunt's home on Manistee Street when her boyfriend's ex-girlfriend mowed her down with a vehicle. The woman then sped off.
"Amanda flipped underneath the car and the wheels got her, and she just spun off and kept going," said Amanda's friend Amy Combs.
Hall later died at a hospital. Police tracked down the driver two hours later in Livingston County. She's a 23-year-old woman from Inkster who now is in jail until she is formally charged.
Meanwhile, the young mother's family is overcome with grief while they make funeral arrangements.
"She took my daughter's life and I want her (life) taken away from her," said Mary Bickham, Hall's mother.
Evidence litters the area on Manistee Street.

Roc Marciano has experienced somewhat of a second childhood in hip-hop, first debuting as member of Busta Rhymes' fledgling Flipmode Squad, after the departure of Lord Have Mercy. He later teamed with Pete Rock on his Petestrumentals Beat Generation project, acting as one of the only voices on the largely instrumental LP. He finally released his debut album, Marcberg in 2010, to great critical acclaim. The plan for it's follow-up was originally to be a remixed version of the debut, titled Marcberg Reloaded, but that idea was scrapped for a new LP, simply titled Reloaded.
First and foremost, Roc Marciano is an acquired taste. His unorthodox style finds him picking super-chilled out beats, while rhyming over them with a screwfaced, freestyle type of delivery. The tone on Reloaded is much like that of Marcberg; mellow production that invokes the freezing cold of the streets of New York, as Roc rhymes from the perspective of a 1970′s, Taxi Driver villain. Largely produced by Roc and Alchemist, the duo's production compliments each other, sounding like the work of a lone producer. Even Q-Tip's more jazzy "Thread Count" fits in perfectly with the rest of the LP.
Like Pete Rock or J. Dilla before him, Roc Marciano is quite a risk-taker in terms of production, transforming strange source material of "76″ and "Nine Spray" into brooding beats, or taking smoother soul samples and turning them into uncomfortably off-kilter selections ("Death Parade", "Peru"). Al's contributions ("Flash Gordon", "Pistolier", "Deeper") are almost like an added bonus, as Roc's self-production steals the show.
Reloaded is almost like the Donuts of grimy New York street LP's, as Roc has built an experimental album, with a clear, definitive sound and vision. Unlike an entire generation of rappers, Roc forgoes a heavy guest list or team of "hot" producers; he simply makes the music exactly how he wants it to sound, and the end result is one of the most original LP's of the year. Make no mistake, this is not for everyone. Roc's music is a completely original take on the boom-bap formula, almost like as if Jeru took his music deeper underground (if you can imagine that). It's brooding, downer music, unsuitable for Friday nights or even Wednesday rush hour. This is late night, smoke-filled basement rap, and for those that can feel it, it feels real good.
@the man the myth I'm with you, it's a dope album but does get a bit boring and would benefit from some hard hitting beats just to mix it up but having said that I'm with @dayz too it's a rare visual album that deserves the attention and a smokey basement, Hennessy and milk in hand just straight up listening to it really works. Maybe a hungry dangermouse remix album would give it a different creative direction.
I do find myself throwing on marcberg after and wishing reloaded sounded a bit more like it.
Extremely talented cat to produce and rap at this level. Marcberg is a slight step above IMO though. Nevertheless, real heads rejoice seeing the kid do his thing like New York niggas should.

Congratulations, Charly! You have just been zapped by the Upgrade Artifact that increases intelligence to TV Genius levels, and suddenly, everyone is coming to you for Schizo Tech and Hollywood Hacking. Only problem is, you never learned these things. In Hollywood, this is not a problem. If a character is zapped with an Intelligence Ray, they will suddenly know everything, despite the fact that they never learned it. This could be Justified by saying they uploaded someone else's brainwave pattern etc. into their brains, and therefore know everything that person knows, or that they evolved into a telepath and just sucked up some other people's book learnin', but often it's not. Often, they just give the person the Applied Phlebotinum, and that person knows everything. Period. No explanation. Not even a Hand Wave. No depictions of them actually learning the information. A Wizard Did It. Usually, this trope goes hand in hand with TV Genius. Despite what the name might suggest, this is not "a machine uploaded X knowledge into character Y's brain" (or "taught Y character X knowledge unreasonably quickly", or any other variants); that's Neural Implanting. This trope is specifically about the distinction between intelligence (the capacity for learning and understanding) and knowledge (the possession of facts and figures), and how in fiction, the mere act of "making a character smarter" often results in them having knowledge they haven't actually learned. Compare Instant Expert and Hard Work Hardly Works. May be justified by Awesomeness by Analysis - in this case, their brains are sufficiently boosted to figure out all these things very, very quickly.

The Dakota Ridge girls basketball team certainly looked pretty in pink, but there was more than just style concerns behind the fashion statement.
The Eagles wore pink jerseys - both Feb. 21 against Columbine and two days earlier against Bear Creek - as part of Think Pink Cancer Awareness week.
The uniform change certainly brought good vibes to Dakota Ridge as they won both games while donning the pink jerseys, earning a share of the Class 5A Jefferson County League title in the process.
Who wears short shorts? The Dakota Ridge Eagles basketball team does.
Ahem, that's the Dakota Ridge Eagles' boys team.
"We definitely came out with a little more fun," senior guard Lenny Canny said.
And a lot more leg.
Perhaps it was the increased flexibility of the retro shorts, or just the vibe of getting back to the old-school when fundamentals were not only coached but embraced, but the Eagles were feeling vintage Feb. 18 against Bear Creek.
A state constitutional amendment that bars sole-source government contract holders from contributing to political campaigns caused some consternation at the Taj Mahal on Feb. 12, with county elected officials saying the ban is too broad.
Amendment 54, which was approved by Colorado voters in November 2008, prohibits contractors with more than $100,000 in contracts with any government entity from contributing to political candidates, political action committees or political parties. It also applies to the immediate family of the contractor.
A bill born from the conflict between the city of Littleton and South Jeffco water and sanitation districts is dead in the water, as the parties continue to negotiate. But the legislation still could resurface.
DENVER — Cody Weitzel has wrestled numerous times in tournaments much bigger and arguably more illustrious than the Class 5A state wrestling championships at the Pepsi Center.
But that didn't stop the butterflies from coming to the Columbine freshman.
"I've been to a lot of really big national tournaments and I thought I wasn't going to be affected," Weitzel said.
Weitzel overcame his nerves, rebounding from one defeat to place third in the 103-pound weight class on Feb. 21.
It has happened. You were or are going to be laid off. Your soon-to-be-last employer has informed you that you can select COBRA and pay the full 100 percent (plus 2 percent administration) of the premium. You think, "Great, I am covered."
However, you find out 45 to 60 days later that your premium is two or three times higher than what you previously contributed. The latter is the norm. I have seen singles and families with $600 and $1,200 monthly premiums, respectively. There go your layoff-package dollars.
People will be bouncing off the walls inside the old Albertson's building at South Kipling Street and West Bowles Avenue this spring.
Tim Crawford, a businessman from Golden, is opening an indoor trampoline fun center called Jump Street in the building, hoping to give South Jeffco a new way to play.
"It's something the whole family can do," Crawford said while taking a break from removing old steel from the building Dec. 31. "Some parents have more fun than their kids."
The Chatfield Chargers need a sticky player. A glue guy that can rally the troops when things go sour and lead the charge when its time to attack.
They need someone like Green Mountain senior Brian Hunt.
"He takes over in big situations," Chatfield coach Steve Schimpeler said. "He was the difference in the first game, and he was the difference in this game."
It started with stomach pains in August 2008.
Then came the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, and an estimate from doctors that Dave Auburn — businessman, former Jefferson County commissioner and, most notably, family man — had four months to live.
"He beat those odds," said Linda Auburn, who lost her husband Feb. 11 to pancreatic cancer.
Auburn lived to see his 63rd birthday on Jan. 21, the same day as his 20th anniversary.
A Chatfield State Park ranger who rescued a fisherman who fell through the ice in early February says the incident calls to mind the precautions necessary for recreation on frozen water.
Michael Judd, the ranger, said in a statement that the fisherman had walked about 50 yards out onto the ice at Chatfield Reservoir, but the surface was unstable due to recent warm temperatures. The angler, who has not been identified, was not wearing a life jacket or any other personal flotation device, and was fishing alone.

Steven Colbert recently had a segment on college rankings. Colbert expressed disappointment that his alma mater, Dartmouth, did not rank well in the Washington Monthly rankings of college effectiveness. Washington Monthly focuses on the graduation rates of low-income students. Colbert complained that Dartmouth has plenty of social mobility, as you could enter a plutocrat and graduate an oligarch.
Despite the lighthearted treatment, a serious issue surrounds the issue of the perverse incentives created by the U.S. News and World Report (USNWR) rankings. Inputs dominate the USNWR rankings--how much money the universities have, and the SAT scores of incoming students, etc.
But a more appropriate ranking system would focus on outputs, not inputs. Student learning gains should be the focus of judging the effectiveness of colleges. The University of Texas System pioneered the use and publication of such gain scores on a broad test of cognitive skills. The results: the value added champions were UT-San Antonio, which sits at the bottom of the USNWR rankings. Strangely enough, the highest rated university according to USNWR, does not do so well in the value added department.
Arizona, with two universities ranked in the lower part of the second tier and one in the 4th tier of the USNWR rankings, has every incentive to adopt a system similar to that of UT. Arizona universities may never buy their way to the top of the heap, but they might be able to teach their way there, given the proper incentives.

About Boulder City crime rates
Boulder City has an overall crime rate of 15 per 1,000 residents, making the crime rate here near the average for all cities and towns of all sizes in America. According to our analysis of FBI crime data, your chance of becoming a victim of crime in Boulder City is 1 in 67. How does Boulder City fare compared to other communities in Nevada of all population sizes? Boulder City's crime rate is lower than approximately 74% of Nevada communities.
However, compared to other communities of similar population size, Boulder City has a crime rate that is noticeably lower than the average. This means that for comparably sized cities all across America, Boulder City is actually safer than most according to NeighborhoodScout's exclusive analysis of FBI crime data.
The crime data that NeighborhoodScout used for this analysis are the seven offenses from the uniform crime reports, collected by the FBI from 17,000 local law enforcement agencies, and include both violent and property crimes, combined.
Now let us turn to take a look at how Boulder City does for violent crimes specifically, and then how it does for property crimes. This is important because the overall crime rate can be further illuminated by understanding if violent crime or property crimes (or both) are the major contributors to the general rate of crime in Boulder City.
For Boulder City, NeighborhoodScout found that the violent crime rate is well below the national average for all communities of all population sizes. Violent crimes such as assault, rape, murder and armed robbery happen less often in Boulder City than in most of America. One's chance of becoming a victim of a violent crime here is one in 1280, which is a violent crime rate of 1 per one thousand inhabitants.
Moreover, the rate of property crime in Boulder City; burglary, larceny ($50 or more), grand theft auto, and arson; is 14 per 1,000 residents. This is about average for all cities and towns in America of all population sizes.
