BuzzFeed's "Apps for Women" Is Degrating
By Ciara LaVelle
Meltzer is a mind-bendingly fabulous director -- his January production of Kiss of the Spider Woman at the Public Theatre in Plantation was one of the better things to happen to SoFla theater in recent memory -- and what he says is true. For several years now, some of the region's most successful theater has been its most daring, and this tendency is becoming only more pronounced. In seat-packing terms, the most potent production to hit Miami in the past six months was almost certainly the world premiere of Defining Code Red, by 24-year-old local Justin Koren. Square Peg Productions' unspeakably perverse Three Angels Dancing on a Needle is about to move to New York. Theater people buzz incessantly about the deep, daring, and playful work coming out of the Promethean Theatre, the Mad Cat Theatre Company, and Inside Out Theatre. Add these things together, and you've got the state of the art.
There are a handful of people we can thank for this, and City Theatre's Summer Shorts brings most of them together. Indeed City Theatre has likely been a catalyst for change.
Four women -- Stephanie Norman, Susan Westfall, Gail Garrisan, and Elena Wohl -- started the short-play festival in 1996. "It came about because Stephanie and myself and Elena were kind of frustrated with what we saw in the theater scene at the time," says Westfall, a playwright whose piece Uprising will appear in this year's festival. "We very quickly formed a company which found a location at the Ring Theatre, which was only available in the summer, and then we did this huge solicitation to figure out what kind of plays were out there in the world."
Adds Norman, the only founder still involved in City Theatre full-time: "We wanted to do new work, work that had never been done in South Florida ... and we wanted to collaborate with many other artists. So we gravitated toward the short-play format, as far as new work goes."
That was the idea, and it's still working. This is City Theatre's busiest year so far, with the company presenting its new Shorts for Kids, a sort of G-rated mirror-image of the twelve-year-old Summer Shorts Festival. The company will continue its Short Cuts program -- an abridgment of Summer Shorts that will tour schools and community venues throughout the winter and early spring -- as well as its mentorship program for high-school-age playwrights.
This summer marks City Theatre's first season at the Carnival Center for the Performing Arts, and the beginning of its partnership with the Actors Theatre of Louisville, which has produced the Humana Festival of New American Plays annually since 1976.
The Humana Festival is the nation's most prestigious of its kind. Three of its plays have gone on to win Pulitzers, and the festival has featured new work by ideology- and genre-bending writers such as Tony Kushner, Joyce Carol Oates, and William F. Buckley. Two years ago, the Humana Festival reached out to City Theatre for an exclusive partnership. Now the two run a literary office online, jointly handling more than 1200 short-play submissions annually.
"When you read 1200 plays," says Norman, "you know you've gotta be really good to get into the final list with us, the top 20 or 30. And then we just gravitate towards the best writing: Who has an interesting frame of reference, who's using language in a way we haven't done before?"
With that litmus test firmly in mind, Summer Shorts cheerfully rapes as many conventions as it can run down. Folks who attend both of this year's programs (which will run on alternating nights, save Saturdays, when they'll show back to back) will witness Michael McKeever's Splat!, directed by Norman, about the Munchkins who have to clean up the Wicked Witch of the East's remains after Dorothy disappears down the Yellow Brick Road. They'll see a ten-minute sendup of telenovelas called Donde Est Pedro Mano, by Montserrat Mendez; a play called Foul Territory, about a sorry sod at Yankee Stadium who can't help getting hit in the face by foul balls; a play titled Ron Bobby Had Too Big a Heart, by Pulitzer finalist Rolin Jones, about murderous Midwestern high school girls and the prom queens they kidnap. And they'll see ten others -- two world premieres, a Southeastern premiere, and three plays by Floridians.
The plays contain no central unifying theme, but they possess a queer unity of purpose all the same.
"Too often in South Florida," says Norman, "you get in your car, you drive somewhere, you see something, you get back in your car and go home. And there's absolutely no sense of community around that."
But community is where it's at, at least insofar as Florida's late-blooming progressive theater culture is concerned. There's some validity to the notion that the primary utility of art is in beginning interesting conversations among people who wouldn't ordinarily have anything to talk about, and Summer Shorts starts a very great many conversations -- among disparate organizations, as in its partnership with Humana; among theatergoers, when it serves them a nightly dinner (before showtime through the week, and between the two programs on Saturdays), and among artists.

"No Country for Old Men" Oscar nominee Javier Bardem was named honorary chair today of the 2008 Spirit Awards, which will be held Feb. 23 on the beach in Santa Monica.
A Spirit Award winner in 2001 for "Before Night Falls," the 38-year-old Spanish actor also will be a presenter at the star-studded ceremony, which is one of the hottest tickets in Tinseltown. Honorary chairs are selected not only for their achievements in film, but for their commitment to independent filmmaking. Previous chairs include Maggie Gyllenhaal, Terrence Howard, Tom Cruise, Halle Berry, Benicio Del Toro and Naomi Watts.
Additional presenters for the show, which will be hosted by Rainn Wilson of "The Office," include Alan Arkin, Jason Bateman, Kate Beckinsale, Cate Blanchett, Jon Hamm, Josh Hartnett, Julian Schnabel, John Waters and Tom Wilkinson.

Quintessential Napa Holiday
This property exceeded expectations from the moment you pull in the drive. With the vineyards surrounding the property and horse and hobby farm neighbors you feel like you are in your own country estate in the valley, however its location to wineries to the north no more than 30 minutes away or a 5 minute drive to Oxbow Market and Napa downtown you are close to everything. Inside marble bathrooms and open kitchen appointed with granite and stainless appliances impress, however furnishings are comfortable, warm, and welcoming to relaxing by the fireplace. A rare property with each bedroom having a private bathroom with walk in showers and closets is beyond that of hotels or a bed and breakfast, all allowed us to stay together as a group but not give up privacy or comfort. From the outdoor pool and hot tub, views of the Mayacamas mountain range in the west above Yountville allow glimpses of hot air balloons in the morning and sunset in the evening. If the property was it, I would stop here, however I have to mention it's owner Ellie. She went above and beyond, going out of her way to make sure our group had the best experience possible by taking care of many inquiries, offering assistance at any notice, and extreme personal generosity. I found this a mark of a professional, yet she became a true friend as we enjoyed our tour and tasting she offered at her new winery Eleven Eleven. Located a few miles from the house, an exquisite building refinished with reclaimed wood and barrels they have created a great space. In addition, they have crafted an excellent portfolio of wines with winemaker Kirk Venge, the son of legendary Nils Venge who had the first Napa cabernet to be rated 100 points by Robert Parker. Kirk also responsibility for managing his own vineyard near Calistoga shows a testament to Ellie's hardwork and belief in the cabernet grown around the house. I personally enjoyed the Syrah with its good balance of structure and smoothness and also the excellent fuller bodied Rose, which immediately won over the women in our group when enjoyed lounging out back poolside. All of these pieces came together to create a vacation experience for our group we will certainly not forget and intend to make an annual. Saying it won't simply be enough, but thank you Ellie. Our group is truly grateful and can't wait for our next visit. ZC and the Midwest Crew
All the Beauty, Heart & Soul of Napa Valley
Treat yourself to a true Napa experience surrounded by lush vineyards and gardens and warm hospitality. The studio is set on a unique property that gives you everything you want from comfort, to convenience to privacy and a great location lending easy access to Napa and Sonoma. The Studio is incredibly clean, spacious and well-appointed. The pictures accurately show the uniqueness of the cool design and decor. The grounds are so lovely and beautifully maintained with paths to wander from gardens and arbors to pool to orchard and vineyard. My hosts D &J are long-time Napa residents and artists, who were creative, warm and helpful in their suggestions of what to see, do and taste in the area. This is so much more memorable than any regular hotel experience- you'll feel like you were truly immersed in wine country life.
beautiful fun getaway home
My family met from 4 different states , for an adult vacation. We walked in and the owner had decorated the whole downstairs with pumpkins, ghost... all kinds of fun fall decorations. We settled in and noticed there was no running water... the owner came right over and brought us tons of drinking water and since it was night she said she would have it fixed in the morning or find us a different location. Workers were over first thing in the morning to find out the pump in the well was broken and the well was dry. She had it fixed that day and had delivered a truck full of water. Everything was beautiful and I would recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful, fun getaway.

FabianMontescu Group TitleBest ResponseYou've already chosen the best response.0
The trick is to notice that, for the numerator: \[(x ^{1/3}-1) = [(x^{1/6})^2 - 1^2) = (x^{1/6} -1)(x^{1/6}+1)\] Also, notice that: \[\sqrt{x} = x^{1/2}=(x^{1/6})^3\] So, using a^3 - b^3 = (a - b)(a^2 + ab + b^2), the denominator is: \[[(x^{1/6})^3 - 1^3] = (x^{1/6} - 1^1)[(x^{1/6})^2 + x^{1/6}(1) + 1^2]\] Now the first term of the numerator and of the denominator cancel. Yay! \[\frac{(x^{1/6} -1)(x^{1/6}+1)}{(x^{1/6} - 1^1)[(x^{1/6})^2 + x^{1/6}(1) + 1^2]} = \frac{(x^{1/6}+1)}{[(x^{1/6})^2 + x^{1/6}(1) + 1^2]} \] Finally, substituting x= 1, will get you the result of 2/3.

Swedish Seethra Kit Car13 Comment
Mystery Cars, Seethra | Sat, 11 Jul 2009 Posted by : Shannon Larratt
Casper in Denmark recently picked up this Seethra kit car body in Sweden, where it was made in the eighties. As far as he knows about 200 were built, but he hasn't been able to track down much info on them and was hoping some readers here might know more that would be of assistance in his completing this project — post in the comments if you do. This car, which sort of looks to me like the bastard child of an F40 and a Countach, was available both on a custom tube chassis and a VW pan — my advice to Casper was to choose the easy route and mount it on a VW.
Another update on the Warp 8 restoration2 Comment
Warp 8 | Sat, 11 Jul 2009 Posted by : Shannon Larratt
I'm happy to be able to post another update on Mark's restoration of his incredibly rare Warp 8 (be sure to read this article to see what it'll look like when he's all done). He writes,
Here's some more pictures of the Warp. I'm really pleased at how well it's coming together. As you can see the body is now completely attached to the chassis and the framework is in place ready for the dash to be fitted to, when we've decided exactly what we want it to look like. The floors are all in place as are the front and rear bulkheads and for the first time we have been able to try some tidy seats in it, but have real height problems. I think the car was designed more for looks than practicality, so we will have to sort out some one-off seats, but we still have a lot more to do before we need to worry about that. I feel a lot happier about it now it's starting to look more like a car again. The next job is the doors and I'm not looking forward to that. I've worked out how to go about it and it's not going to be easy. I'll be in touch soon.
He's really putting an amazing amount of work into this project to make it a solid "real" car! It's a real thrill getting to see this car getting the attention it deserves.
Osage kit car by Fuhr Motors3 Comment
Osage | Sat, 11 Jul 2009 Posted by : Shannon Larratt
My friend Sergey in Russia has an original 1979 brochure from Fuhr Motors in Lake Grove, New York, containing this profile photo of their wedge-shaped Osage kit car, designed for what looks like a full-length VW chassis. I must admit I never thought I'd see this incredibly rare car (the previous photo I posted leaves a lot to be desired), so I was quite thrilled when Sergey wrote me! Click to zoom in of course.
The ultimate Aztec 72 Comment
Aztec 7, FiberFab, One-offs | Sat, 11 Jul 2009 Posted by : Shannon Larratt
Reading one of my favourite car blogs today, I saw this entry which managed to distract me from UFC100 — a post on Hemmings that linked to these pictures of the five thousand pound steam turbine "Barber-Nichols Steamin' Demon" (currently for sale for a half million), an Aztec 7 kit car converted to break the steam-power land speed record, which it did at 145.607 mph on August 19, 1985 at Bonneville. Definitely NOT what Fiberfab expected when they originally designed this traditionally VW-based kit car! The previous record, set in a Stanley Steamer, had long held the record at 127.656 mph, set in 1906. A British team is currently working on a car to shatter this record, but this has got to be one of the longest-standing records held by a kit car.

(KTSF by Sean Au)
Family members and friends of the Mexican man who died in a construction site accident in Milpitas late January held a memorial service for him today.
39-year-old Raul Zapata was a carpenter by profession and had been living in Hayward for the past 12 years. He is survived by a wife and three daughters between 10 and 20 years of age . His family remains in Zacatecas in central Mexico. Close to a hundred people attended Raul Zapata's memorial service at St. Bede Catholic Church in Hayward. His brother Faustino broke down at the scene. Friends of the family say plans have been made to send Raul's body back to Mexico this weekend.
Raul was killed by unstable soil falling on him when he was working in a trench at the building's foundation in Milpitas. Just three days before the accident, the Milpitas Building & Safety Department issued a stop work order to the contractor of the project as its inspection had found the site to be unsafe. But, authorities say 7 or 8 people were working at the site when the accident happened on January 28.
The contractor of the construction project was U.S.-Sino Investment whose CEO Richard Liu is a Chinese national and is currently in China. Milpitas Police and Cal/OSHA are investigating the accident. The California's Contractors State License Board has also temporarily suspended the license of the contractor.

Squares and quarters
Tallinn is a perfect setting for a romantic getaway. Lying at the heart of Old Town is the picturesque Town Hall Square, lined with 800 year old merchant houses, bistros and cafes, medieval markets and handicraft fairs. The city centre's 'Freedom Square' celebrates Estonia's first period of independence. Between Old Town and Tallinn's port lies one of the most attractive districts of the city, Rottermann's Quarter. Here, the former industrial buildings of Estonia meet the city's modern day vibrancy, and visitors can expect authentic Estonian-themed events.

Now the former New York Giants wide receiver faces up to 15 years behind bars after shooting himself in the leg in a nightclub last year.
Prosecutors indicted the star on Monday on two felony counts, accusing him of criminal possession of a weapon and one misdemeanour count of reckless endangerment.
Burress, 31, was released by the team after the November 2008 incident in New York.
The accusations put his stellar career in jeopardy, costing him millions of dollars in salary.
If convicted, he faces at least three and a half years in prison and a maximum of 15 years.
Plea deal
Prosecutors and the defence had been in talks over a plea deal that would have resulted in a two-year sentence, but those talks broke down, Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau said.
"The case required a more protracted investigation than does a typical weapons-possession case, given the number of witnesses and the need to investigate events both before and after the shooting," Morgenthau said in a statement.
"The case is treated like any similar case against any other defendant."
Antonio Pierce, a Giants linebacker who was with Burress at the time of the shooting, was not charged.
Pierce took the gun back to his home after the shooting, prosecutors said.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Stock futures were pointing to a lower open on Wall Street Monday as investors looked ahead to a flood of bank earnings later this week and as Apple (AAPL) shares plunged.
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average were falling 23 points, or 13.43 points below fair value, at 13,410. Futures for the S&P 500 were down 2.50 points, or 1.95 points below fair value, at 1464. Futures for the Nasdaq were down 17.25 points, or 15.56 points below fair value, at 2726.
Apple shares were tumbling more than 2% in premarket trading on reports that the tech giant has cut orders for components for the iPhone 5 due to weaker-than-expected demand, people familiar with the situation told The Wall Street Journal.
Major bank releases later this week include JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and Goldman Sachs (GS) on Wednesday, and Bank of America (BAC) and Citigroup (C) on Thursday.JPMorgan Chase's (JPM) board is expected to dock the 2012 bonuses of CEO Jamie Dimon and another top executive because of the "London Whale" trading debacle, the Journal reported, citing people close to the company. JPMorgan shares were down 0.67% in premarket trading. "What we're really focused on is the banking institutions and what is the quality of their earnings, what is the quality of their revenues," said Keith Bliss, Cuttone director of sales and marketing. He said two things are "vastly important" when looking at these companies. One is net interest margin. "Right now it's been shrinking for the big banks primarily because of the low interest rate environment and the flat yield curve that we've had for the last two years." "The other is the loan-to-deposit ratio," Bliss said. Most banks, to make money, want to be at a 100% loan-to-deposit ratio. "Most of them are riding in the 70% category right now, which means they want to lend the money out, but they're just not finding good quality borrowers," he explained. Bliss said that it's expected that the insurers will be weak as they're going to have to pay out their claims on Hurricane Sandy, which are substantial. Major U.S. stock averages were little changed during a volatile session on Friday as financial stocks were big drag after Wells Fargo (WFC) kicked off bank earnings with mixed results. A number of Federal Reserve officials were expected to speak Monday. At 4:30 p.m. EST, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke is slated to speak at the University of Michigan with Ford School Dean Susan Collins on monetary policy and the U.S. economy. "Fed Chairman Bernanke is speaking on the longer term challenges for the U.S. economy," said Paul Donovan, global economist at UBS. "There are quite a few of these. The fiscal position remains very much in focus, and this is likely to be where markets keep their attention." At 11:55 a.m., San Francisco Fed President John Williams is scheduled to give a keynote speech on the economic outlook to an industry strategy symposium in California. Atlanta Fed President Dennis Lockhart is expected to speak at 12:40 p.m. on the economic outlook to the Rotary Club of Atlanta. No major U.S. economic releases were expected for Monday. European markets were giving up earlier gains as investors waited for the momentum to pick-up for earnings season. The FTSE 100 in London was off 0.08%, while the DAX in Germany was up 0.36%. Hong Kong's Hang Seng closed up 0.64% after the China Securities Regulatory Commission Chairman Guo Shuqing said the country could significantly raise the quota for foreign investment in Chinese equity markets. Japanese markets were closed for a public holiday. Gold for February delivery Monday was adding $12.40 to $1,673 an ounce at the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, while February crude oil futures were rising 36 cents at $93.92 a barrel. The benchmark 10-year Treasury was up 7/32, diluting the yield to 1.845%. The dollar was up 0.06%, according to the

The Little Prince~A few hours earlier~The Little Prince by CheshireTheMad
At the feet of the tallest building of Neo-Paris, a smaller group gathered. They were all talking quietly, on subdued voices, as if they were afraid someone is listening to their conversations. They were the members of the Golden Council, waiting on the Councilor at the steps infront of the elevator, that went up all the way to the top of the tower. The Councilor was never late. The members couldn't understand why She was now.
Up, at the top of the tower, something, for now unnoticeable, was happening. A man, dressed all crimson, was walking towards the chambers of the Councilor, and her child. He seemed to be utterly calm, he let no emotions show on his face. He had a dark brown, mid-length hair, and abnormally emerald eyes. The man took his time with walking, though he didn't take his eyes off of the door at the end of the corridor, not for a second. Finally, when he reached it, he silently pressed down the handle. The man stepped inside, then closed th
It's only the BeginningThe thin street was loud of two little girls' laughter. It seems like they were playing hide-and-seek, and the smaller couldn't hold her back her giggle, while the older was looking for her. They were sisters, anyone could tell that. But the people didn't need to guess much, since everyone knew them around here. They were the youngest of the Meyer family. Johanna, and Annie. Johanna was the older sister. Even though she and Annie looked very familiar, everyone said Johanna inherited their father's features. The emerald eyes, and darker brown hair. Annie looked more like mother, with her hazel hair, and dark blue eyes. Johanna was brought to the world ten years ago, and Annie one and a half year after her. They were both beautiful kids, their parents were proud of them. Once the two grew bored of playing, and running around, Annie grabbed Johanna's hand, while excitedly jumping up and down.It's only the Beginning by CheshireTheMad

EASA has certified Honeywell's TPE331-12JR turboprop
engine for the Cessna Caravan, which reportedly enables European
operators to take advantage of the engine's improved power,
lower cost, enhanced fuel efficiency, and low noise levels. Texas
Turbine Conversions, Inc., a major Honeywell partner in this
market, helped drive this important milestone.
With the TPE331-12JR engine, Honeywell claims that operators
experience up to 40-percent more power than the production engine.
They also save as much as $40 per hour in operations costs due to
longer maintenance intervals, fewer lifecycle-limited parts and
better fuel efficiency when compared to the standard OEM engine.
The engine also passes Germany's stringent maximum fly-over
noise level of 78 dB(A).
Donnerflug Aviation Services, a Germany-based skydiving
operator, owns a Honeywell-powered Cessna Caravan conversion
aircraft from Texas Turbines. Since operating the plane, Donnerflug
has seen nearly a 77 percent increase in business due to greater
capacity per flight and ability to attract new skydiving customers.
"We have attracted more jumpers and have been able to
accommodate other business activities. This aircraft differentiates
us from our local competitors and is directly tied to our
success," said Markus Bastuck, managing partner and pilot,
Donnerflug Aviation Services GMbH.

Kerry expects Syrians to attend transition talks

STOCKHOLM (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry issued a stern warning Tuesday to Syria's government, saying that new help will be given to opposition forces should President Bashar Assad's regime decide to back out of upcoming negotiations aimed at ending Syria's two-year war.
Kerry said he has every expectation that both sides in the conflict, which has left more than 70,000 dead, will participate in an international conference to negotiate a peaceful transition in Syria. The conference, which Kerry said likely will be held in early June, is noteworthy because it will be endorsed by both the U.S. and Russia, which are on opposite sides of the Syrian conflict.

Luzerne County groom arrested at his wedding
KINGSTON - Delroy Toomer, 24, of Plains Twp., was arrested Friday morning after his wedding ceremony in Kingston and jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for his wedding night.
Court records show Mr. Toomer, last known address of 141 Henry St., had been wanted since July for allegedly threatening to kill the mother of his child after his new girlfriend - the woman he married Friday - drove by her house screaming.
His child's mother, Amber Miller, reported Mr. Toomer's girlfriend, Angelic Yard, 26, drove by the house at 18 Cemetery St., Ashley, the evening of July 7 yelling something unintelligible, according to a police affidavit.
Hours later, Mr. Toomer called Ms. Miller telling her he would kill her, according to police. Mr. Toomer and two other men tried to kick open the front door, but fled before police arrived, court records say.
Magisterial District Judge Paul Roberts married Mr. Toomer and arraigned him less than an hour later on charges of making terroristic threats, criminal mischief, harassment, disorderly conduct, loitering, trespassing and simple assault.

Many young people will drink alcohol and do not develop problems. However, if someone starts when they're young and uses it on a regular basis, they are putting themselves at risk.
In addition to starting young, there are other factors which put a person at increased risk of developing alcohol problems. These factors don't mean that a person will automatically develop a problem, but they do increase the risk.
These include:
- Family history of alcohol or other substance use problems
- Difficulty coping with or managing stress and other problems
- Problems at home
- Having an untreated anxiety, depression or other mental health condition
- Difficulty fitting in at school, at work or with one's peer group
- Having a stressful life change or experiencing trauma
Alcohol may be becoming a problem when you...
- Find that your drinking is increasing - the number of drinks you have on any one occasion is increasing or you're drinking more frequently
- Have difficulty cutting down or controlling your use
- Rely on alcohol to help you escape from worries or problems
- Use alcohol as your main source of entertainment and fun
- Spend a lot of time getting alcohol, using it or recovering from it
- Have problems at school, work or in your relationships as a result of your drinking

Summary: With each edition, Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter and Change by Martin Silberberg is becoming a favorite among faculty and students. Silberberg's 5th edition contains features that make it the most comprehensive and relevant text for any student enrolled in a general chemistry course. The text contains unprecedented macroscopic to microscopic molecular illustrations, consistent step-by-step worked exercises in every chapter, and an extensive range of end-o ...show moref-chapter problems which provide engaging applications covering a wide variety of freshman interests, including engineering, medicine, materials, and environmental studies. All of these qualities make Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter and Change the centerpiece for any General Chemistry course.
About the Author
Martin S. Silberberg received his B.S. in chemistry from the City University of New York in 1966 and his Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Oklahoma, in 1971. He then accepted a research position at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, where he studied the chemical nature of neurotransmission and Parkinson's disease. In 1977, Dr. Silberberg joined the faculty of Simon's Rock College of Bard (Massachusetts), a liberal arts college known for its excellence in teaching small classes of highly motivated students. As Head of the Natural Sciences Major and Director of Premedical Studies, he taught courses in general chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and nonmajors chemistry. The close student contact afforded him insights into how students learn chemistry, where they have difficulties, and what strategies can help them succeed. In 1983, Dr. Silberberg decided to apply these insights in a broader context and established a text writing and editing company. Before writing his own text, he worked on chemistry, biochemistry, and physics texts for several major college publishers. He resides with his wife and child in Massachusetts. For relaxation, he cooks, sings, and walks in the woods. ...show less

On-campus interviews are a great way to connect with talented Chico State candidates and recruit for both internships and full-time professional career positions. The Chico State Career Center facility includes private interview rooms that can be scheduled at various times throughout the year. The Career Center hosts a free job posting database, JobCat, accessible by all Chico State students and alumni. Additionally, each year the Career Center organizes on-campus visits from approximately 700 corporations, government and non-profit organizations, health care institutions, and school districts.
If you are interested in recruiting on campus, you can participate by calling Kendra Wright, our recruiting coordinator, at 530-898-5253 or by requesting a schedule online through JobCat (CSO Research). We have a variety of options available to meet the needs of your company and its staffing objectives. If a trip to Chico State is not possible, we offer Skype interviews as an alternative. After our office initiates an account for you, you will be able to use our system to schedule interview dates, review applicants, receive resumes, and update your organization's information. We encourage you to contact us directly if you have any questions or want to brainstorm ideas to promote your opportunities.
It is recommended that a four-to-five week notice be given to ensure all steps of the process are completed. You will then be directed to JobCat to complete the schedule request form on which you will provide a detailed job description and criteria upon which to screen candidates. Your job and interview opportunity will be made available to candidates from the date the schedule is confirmed until the posted deadlines expire.
You may choose from two different types of schedules:
Employer information sessions are an opportunity to generate interest and spotlight your organization on campus. Traditionally information sessions are held in conjunction with on-campus interviews; however, it is not necessary to conduct an information session in order to have an on-campus interview.

Cyprus Property is Hot! Now more than ever. There are over 20 million northern Europeans (European baby boomers) that have retired in the last few years which is a great number and many will be British. Many have been waiting for the financial crisis to past before they make the move to Cyprus. With warm weather, low crime rate, low cost of living in Cyprus and English speaking population, do you think Cyprus will have enough properties for every one?

It begins with MacRae as a spirit in Heaven who begs the starkeeper for a visit back to Earth to help his teenage daughter understand his death and prepare her for high-school graduation. Seen in flashback, carny barker MacRae, a brash, dishonest young man living in a New England fishing village
(changed from Ferenc Molnar's original Budapest setting), falls in love with a mill worker, Jones. They marry,...
Rogers and Hammerstein musical tells the story of a free living carney who tries to go straight to win the love of a 'good' girl. Great music is supplemented by stunning photography.
Carousel -- A girl keeps her true feelings about a boy to herself as she propels the boy to reveal his true feelings to another girl.
Carousel -- Filmed on location in a beautiful seaside village, Carousel stars Gordon MacRae as Billy Bigelow, a smooth-talking carny man who falls in love with a millworker (Shirley Jones). Tragedy strikes these star-crossed lovers, though, and their journey is not easy. How Billy makes his way to Heaven and back again, providing love and solace to his wife and daughter, and redemption for himself, is the story of one of the most unique and powerfully uplifting musicals ever written. With a score that includes 'If I Loved You' and 'You'll Never Walk Alone,' little wonder that Carousel was composer Richard Rodgers' personal favorite.

When an Ivy League university releases a study suggesting that the social network you work for will lose 80 percent of its user base between 2015 and 2017, even going as far as to compare your company to an infectious disease, there is only one way to respond — with humor.

Facebook is already experiencing some erosion in usage, but will the social network see 80 percent of its user base disappear between 2015 and 2017? Possibly, according to a new study by researchers from Princeton University, which compared the life cycles of ideas with the life cycles of diseases.

Gail R. Wilensky
A year and a half ago, I wrote a column about the subject. The challenge then-and now-is to develop a strategy for reimbursing physicians that promotes the delivery of the appropriate mix and volume of services, provides good access, and moderates physician spending. Most of the more recent attention has focused on strategies that redefine the sustainable growth rate (SGR) or eliminate it altogether.
As is well known, physicians are reimbursed through the use of the resource-based relative value scale (RBRVS) combined with the SGR. The RBRVS sets relative prices, based on work value, practice expenses, and geographic adjusters, but it is the SGR, through its impact on the conversion factor, that converts relative weights to absolute dollars and, thereby, sets the dollar reimbursement rate.
By linking the growth in Medicare spending for physician services to the growth in the economy and then adjusting changes in physician fees to reflect any excess growth in physician spending that exceeds the growth in the economy, Medicare enforces a rigid relationship between the growth in physician spending, which has mostly been driven by changes in the volume and intensity of selected services, and subsequent changes in fees.
The Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC) and many others have questioned the wisdom of holding one part of Medicare spending to this tight relationship while other sectors of Medicare are not required to maintain such a relationship. As a result, it's been suggested that if expenditure targets are to be used for physician services, it would be better to use expenditure targets across all Medicare services-a strategy proposed by the Republican leadership in the mid-1990s.
Yet freezing shares of Medicare spending across sectors of Medicare to those that exist at a moment in time provides no assurance that the relative shares represent the best distribution of spending in Medicare. Expenditure targets across all of Medicare could indeed keep Medicare spending within specified growth rates-if the targets were actually enforced. But as the use of the SGR for physician fees has shown, expenditure targets per se do nothing to improve quality, ensure clinical appropriateness, or meet any of the other goals that have been set for Medicare-and they frequently are not implemented anyway.
The problem with the SGR is that although it can control total spending by physicians, it neither affects nor is driven by the volume and intensity of spending of any individual physician. In fact, there is some concern that the SGR expenditure targets actually give individual physicians even greater incentives to increase the volume and intensity of the services they provide because physicians know that nothing they do as individuals can affect overall physician spending and, as a result, their fees.
Various alternatives to the use of a single spending target have been suggested. Although none of them compensate for the lack of a direct
relationship between what individual physicians do and what happens to their fees, some of the alternatives attempt to protect those groups of physicians that have been less associated with changes in the volume and intensity of services provided.
For example, it has been suggested that evaluation and management services used mostly by primary care physicians could have targets distinct from those for all other services, just as separate targets were used for primary care, surgery, and other services when the RBRVS was first implemented. Kaiser Permanente's Jay Crosson, MD, executive director of the Permanente Foundation, and others have suggested that groups that are more accountable as systems, such as multispecialty group practices, could be allowed to have their own targets so as to reward and give incentives to their membership.
Robert Berenson, MD, senior fellow at the Urban Institute, has been advocating that the SGR be used differentially according to the "value of the services" provided to beneficiaries or to Medicare and having Medicare become more of a value-based purchaser. This approach recognizes that increases in the quantity of services provided have been limited to certain areas of services, such as advanced imaging and niche services, rather than having occurred with major surgical procedures or E&M services.
The Children's Health and Medicare Protection Act, passed by the House last August, although never enacted into law, provided for six expenditure targets-not only distinguishing between various types of services, but also allowing spending targets for primary care and preventive services to be substantially greater than spending target increases for other categories of services.
The most important next step is for Congress to decide on the basic outline and direction of a future reimbursement system for physicians. Only then can or should Congress decide what to do in the short term while work begins on the next generation of physician payments.
My personal belief is that only by developing a more aggregated payment strategy will it be possible to resolve the frustrations and perverse incentives that have been associated with the current system without risking high rates of physician spending. And although we are clearly not yet ready to implement such a payment system, the decisions about the direction of the next evolution of payment strategies need to occur now so that work can begin on its development. Otherwise, we are going to be in the same position a decade from now, bemoaning the perverse incentives of the current system without an alternative available to introduce in its place.
Aggregating across chronic care treatments so that physicians can receive a bundled payment for single or multiple chronic diseases; combining Part A and B payments for high-cost, high-volume procedures, particularly those that show substantial variation in expenditures; and instituting partial or full capitation payments-all of these are ideas that have been raised periodically and that represent a far superior reimbursement system to the RBRVS combined with the SGR.
Ultimately, we need to have physicians be better associated with the full spectrum of professionals and institutions that deliver care for an individual during an episode of illness or treatment of a chronic disease. But even if that goal remains substantially in our future, figuring out how to bundle payments for physicians need not be. For those of us who believe that having the right incentives in place is crucial to building a better Medicare program, multiple SGRs with a disaggregated RBRVS is not the right answer.
