I remember fondly going to the premiere screening of Jurassic Park in September of 1993. I was seven years old and mum was apprehensive about my attendance, no doubt fearing that my brush with dinosaurs at such a tender age would ensure I ended up a serial killer, or otherwise mentally affected. I wasn't really obsessed with dinosaurs at that age, but I was fascinated and I remember distinctly wanting to go, but I wasn't as in love with film as I would be in a few years time. But my little seven year old brain told me it was a good film and everyone around me seemed to agree; soon taking out the number one spot on Hollywood's highest grossing motion pictures.
20 years later, Jurassic Park returns to its rightful domain - the big screen, in a remastered 3D conversion by the talented folks at StereoD, the studio that painstakingly converted James Cameron's Titanic to great effect last year.
Eccentric billionaire John Hammond (David Attenborough) has devised a way to genetically clone dinosaurs, using his finances to bankroll a prehistoric preserve on a remote island. Hammond welcomes a select group consisting of paleontologists Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and Ellie Sadler (Laura Dern), mathematician Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum), lawyer Donald Genarro (Martin Ferrero) and his young niece and nephew for a sneak peek at the unfinished park for their seal of approval. But wonder soon turns to terror when the parks security system is sabotaged, leaving the visitors to fend for their lives against the hungry inhabitants uprooted from their own timeline.
Steven Spielberg not only directed the film with an interesting visual style, he successfully brought photo-realistic digital characters to the screen in such a convicting manner that audiences simply believed these were real, living and breathing creatures.
In a time where audiences have become increasingly jaded by the possibilities that digital filmmaking allows, Jurassic Park is an ironic breath of fresh air, a return to a more simplistic time. Suffice to say, it's truly one of the few classics from the last two decades of film.
Importantly, despite the huge leaps and bounds in digital technology over the intervening two decades, Jurassic Park still has it. You can see the seams if you look very carefully, but for a film of such vintage that was on the bleeding edge of experimental technology, the fact that it holds up so well is truly a testament to the impressive work of Industrial Light and Magic working in tandem with the team at Stan Winston Studios, to bring life to creatures from 65 million years ago.
Heralding from a brand new scan 4K scan from the original negative with refreshed color timing, along with a slightly revised sound mix from the film's original sound designer Gary Rydstrom, there's no doubt Jurassic Park has never looked, nor sounded better than it does here. And that's before we even discuss the 3D conversion.
I generally like the option of 3D; it's cool and helps to focus the eyes entirely on what's in front, but rarely do I overwhelmingly agree that it genuinely adds to the film experience. Well, it genuinely adds to the Jurassic Park experience. Classic sequences such as the Raptors in the kitchen, along with other climactic beats like the T-Rex Jeep attack and escape into the ventilator shaft take on an even more thrilling element.
In less experienced hands, this could have been a really cheesy and needlessly gimmicky feature, but the artisans at StereoD have made 3D a cohesive and natural progression of the adventure that is, and will always be at the heart of Jurassic Park.

Accidently Married
on Dec. 04, 2010
Was a good short story but it doesn't have the makings of a good short story...rather, it has the makings of an amazing long story. Its leaves you feeling like you smelt all the food baking and roasting etc and then only to realise that's all you are getting. Honestly I'm now craving the full meal. Its a good read but way too shorto the author I say "very good storyline...kudos"
on Feb. 18, 2011

nicely written short story.
Life's Gift
on May 24, 2011
A nice storyline. However, the writing was not smooth especially in earlier chapters. There was a roughness to how things flowed, particularly in moving from visual/scenery description to the conversations of the character, and vice versa. Also characters often would say "I do not" or "I can not" as opposed to "I can't" or "I don't"; in casual conversations especially amongst young people, this is not typical". It reminded me of the first draft rather than the finally product. The storyline and development of plot is great. Many bad things happened to our main character Jamie and to some people the likelihood may seem far fetched -especially with her being the obsession of so many men- but believe me quite a few people experience this and worse. I believe this book is 5 star worthy if it gets a bit of editing just to smooth out some rough edges. There is no need to stage storyline just the flow between descriptive elements in first few chapters.
Pyjama Series: The Meeting
on May 25, 2011
Positive: short; sensible, developed storyline Negative: it's not Bridget Jones like- if it were just that maybe it would be ok, it's TOO Bridget-Jones like. I'm actually there wondering if I'll read exact lines from the movie. The writing style gives me impression style was greatly inspired by the diction of the Bridget Jones' script. Styles are meant to be copied but only when you can own it and turn it into your own. Like when Whitney Houston sang a cover of 'I'll always love you" - she made it her very own.
A Husband for Margaret
on May 26, 2011
Ruth-Ann Nordin has done it again she has written an excellent book. The comedy of this book is so unexpected yet not out of place- it's quite refreshing. I like that while it is a counterpart for A Bride for Tom, it is its own story, not overly dependent on its predecessor.
A Bride for Tom
on May 26, 2011
Well written. Excellent diction. A storyline you will fall in love with.

Forgot to rate
on May 26, 2011
Well written. Such great depth. I was taken in by the storyline by page 3! And moreover, this story has moral to it.
Wedding Day - Romance Short Story
on May 27, 2011
Positives: cute story, great balance- no overdevelopment of plot Negatives: switch to 1st person narrative in chapter 3 from 3rd person - this does not work for this story at all and moreso, was unnecessary I'm being generous with 3 stars despite the aforementioned negative because this story embodies what a story should be. It wasn't a story that should be long trying to be short.
A Family Affair
on May 27, 2011
Moral of this story is something I strongly support

Holding Out For a Hero
on July 02, 2011
Lovely read
The Practice Date - (Young Adult Romance)
on July 23, 2011
Excellently written. I loved every bit of this story. Kudos.
Hearts for Rent
on July 23, 2011
This story is pretty heavy so if you are looking for a light and all fluff read, this isn't it. The story has it fair share of romance that will have smiling along with some heartbreaking tragedies. Many serious issues such as suicide attempts, depression and coping with a terminal illness play an integral part of the plot. This story gets pretty real and as such quite relate-able for some people. Kudos to author for ability to make very real the emotions of the characters. My issue with this story was author sometimes mixing names up like Court- she lists him Court Parker and at another place as Court Ashton. Also is Brady and Parker one person? Or two separate people?
Tiffany Gets Her Boobs
on July 24, 2011
Dull. There isn't much to the story. When it ended, I was like that's it?
my safe haven
on Sep. 17, 2011
Poorly written. Does not follow plot summary at all. Don't bother to read.
The Bride and the Brute
on Dec. 19, 2011
A really good and well written book. I wish it had not ended it where it had but went on a bit more.
Advertising for Love
on Jan. 23, 2012
I love it! Excellently written, no over use of visual or emotional description, a very good pace with very impressive suspense. The side story with Peter Branson was a beautiful surprise...very touching and unexpected and worked in perfectly.
The Gift
on Jan. 28, 2012
An easy read. I found it easy to follow. A nice short tale that didn't end with unrequainted love.
Kissing cousins
on Feb. 04, 2012
(no rating)
This is not a romance. The name is literal. So if you have a problem with cousins hot for each other...definitely not your cup of tea. My rating - 0 out of 5 stars
Under the Oklahoma Sky
on Feb. 05, 2012
Well written. More of a suspense with romance present than a romance with suspense present.
Brizecombe Hall
on Feb. 27, 2012
A delightful read. As a truly good book does, it left me with a smile and desiring more. It was not overly drawn out but the scenes perfectly timed to keep your constant attention. It is a lovely short story. For those looking for non-smut romance stories, look no further.
An Absolute Mess
on March 11, 2012
Very funny- has you laughing from the get go. Jaylenne refuses to marry Prince Leonardo von Absolute. She even refers to him as "Prince Leonardo Von Absolute is an absolute jackass. He is a pompous poopie-head who only cares about himself." This story has definitely succeeded at its attempt at comedy. It is definitely not how your traditional fairytale is told but that does not take away from your enjoying it.
on April 01, 2012
A bit too simple. The story doesn't grab you. Its a good storyline idea but not impressive as how it is written. Its too forgettable.
The Baby Race
on April 02, 2012
This book is defintely worth the read. The main characters are well developed; you smile for them, you sympathize. That is no small achievement. The undesired marriage of covenience with the initial agreement, whether spoken or silent, is very overplayed in the romance genre -tip for future writer if you going the marriage of convenience path how about where they agree to the marriage bed from the get go for a change- anyways, though this is trodding that overplayed path there a wonderful spin that makes that path a totally different experience - the fact that the baby factor is done in a race aagainst each other manner rather than the typical race against time with a set deadline. The overall story is great, however after the big family dinner at the Reed mansion and the revelation made there the writing feels rushed. There is an error early on where the author refers to Race as Jared.
on April 15, 2012
on April 15, 2012
It's a good read. I like that it is a romance book that focuses on bullying yet is not overpowered by it. It's an intriguing short story.
The Meeting
on April 29, 2012
Have you ever had a conversation with someone and they are so excited about something they are rambling on and a bit incoherently at that? The Meeting is like that. The writing is all over the place - carries you to the middle of a point and then suddenly, and in an untimely manner, abandons that point to jump to a new one. The author has much to say but is doing it all too quickly and not at all fluidly. This can be a good book if the authors opts to revise it and give it the appropriate attention needed.
Growing Season
on April 29, 2012
For a tease it's a nice read. Gets you interested in wanting to read full story. If looking for a stand alone short story it is a disappointment (as it is a tease).
A Holland Kiss
on Oct. 14, 2014
When I saw that it was about statues I ignored it for the last two years. But I finally gave in and read and it is the best modern fictional writing style I have seen in a long time - you become so consumed with the characters- not just one narrating. There were points when I wanted her to be with Jay then points when I thought maybe Jonas and points when I wanted her with neither. The book actually had be so emotionally conflicted and interested in these characters. I'm looking forward to the overdue Holland Furst. I want to know about every other character in the book and their own stories.

The Town of Barre is a small rural community located roughly 60 miles from Boston, and is almost right in the center of the state. A charming and convenient place to stay while on vacation is a Barre bed and breakfast. Barre has its fare share of history. During the Industrial Revolution, Barre became known for its production of farming equipment and palm leaf hats. Today, the rural aspect of Barre is still a big drawn for tourists. Wachusett Meadow has several miles of trails including an 80-acre pond rich with beaver, mink, otter, wood ducks, and herons. Visitors also enjoy the Barre Falls Dam for many outdoor activities including canoing, picnicking, hunting, fishing, hiking, horseshoes, sightseeing, mountain bike riding, horseback riding, cross-country skiing, 18-hole disc golf, and wildlife observation. For organic food lovers, Babcias Farm (pronounce Bop-chee's) is located on the Quabbin watershed along the borders of Barre, Hardwick and Petersham. It offers meat, chickens, heritage breed turkeys, ducks, eggs, vegetables and raw honey. Places to dine are abundant, too. While staying at a Barre B&B many head to the Picasso Restaurant and Bar for great food at reasonable prices. They have large portions that are almost too big to finish. Their salads can easily feed two as an appetizer before dinner. Be sure and check out a comfortable Barre inn if youre looking for a place to relax after a long day of sight-seeing! Less

|I was able to take everything outside Saturday and it looks like they can stay out for at least 10 days. Its suppoed to push 80 the next two days and then just back down to the mid-high 60s. it is bittersweet though. My coconut (my pride and joy of my palms) died. it was browning up for several weeks and then the entire trunk pulled off. I also lost the spindle palm I bought last August. it was nice and green but was flopping all over the place. I tried to move it saturday and the entire trunk ripped off. So I'm down net 1 palm. I did get a 3 gallon Trachy a few weeks ago which is doing quite well. Now i need to decide if I want to get a new coconut. Oh well, what can you do. At least the weather has broke. Hopefully for good.

|Get the coco!!

|Sorry to hear about the losses, my plants struggled indoors too this year and I'm working hard to bring them back to where they should be for the summer time.
I would definitely get another coco! Yours was really getting beautiful and I'm looking forward to seeing what you decide to replace the palms you lost with!
- Posted by islandbreeze (My Page) on Mon, Apr 29, 13 at 21:02
|Andy, sorry to hear about your coco. Why not give another washy a shot? They're much easier to grow and still give a tropical feel. I remember when you had that robusta years ago. Mule palms are another one worth trying. Also very tropical in appearance.
|Thanx guys, I think i may pick up a Roebi today, I'll see what they have at Lowes and H Dep. I may get another coco, we'll see, they are predicting a cooler than average summer for the Great lakes. I do plan on starting some Robusta seeds. They are the fastes growing palms I've ever had. I wish i had kept that big one I had years ago. it just got too big for the house. Now I'm in a much bigger place.
|i'd get another coco for sure! But sorry to hear about that. I also lost mine early this year. but yeah you should also get different types of palms as well. I decided to try a King palm, and will probably ened up trying majestys and kentias as well.

The armed forces focus on maintaining warrior fitness and promoting resilience among service members and military families. Active duty personnel experience frequent mobilizations, difficult transitions, combat situations, and an operational tempo with long and multiple periods away from their families and supports. The physical and emotional stressors experienced by many military women and men may contribute to an increase in their use of alcohol and other drugs. Access to substance use services—from prevention to a wide spectrum of interventions for substance misuse and abuse—can help military personnel and their families maintain psychological resilience and fitness. Access to routine screening, confidential brief education, brief counseling, brief interventions for those with emerging substance use problems, and more intensive treatment for those with SUDs promotes good health and may reduce the current high rates of alcohol and prescription drug misuse. If these services are delivered without sanctions or stigma, they promote an effective response to emerging alcohol and other drug use problems, and foster a system in which individuals seek help rather than hide problems.
The committee's framework for assessing access to SUD care is based on its view that alcohol and other drug use behaviors exist on a continuum, and that certain patterns of alcohol and other drug use place some individuals at high risk of developing medical and social problems and possibly abuse or dependence. The discussion here focuses on the use of legal substances (i.e., alcohol, controlled substances prescribed by a clinician) since the use of illicit substances (when detected) prompts separation proceedings.
Addressing access to brief intervention and treatment for alcohol and other drug use is a complex undertaking. Access includes both the availability of services and the use of appropriate modalities and types of services at the appropriate times. As described in Chapter 5, contemporary substance use treatment systems include frequent screening, brief counseling, brief interventions in primary care settings, a focus on client-centered motivational interviewing, multiple entry points to treatment, pharmacotherapies that reduce cravings and maintain functioning, outpatient counseling, intensive outpatient programs, residential treatment when needed, and continuous contact with counseling professionals after an intense period of treatment. Modalities of care utilize evidence-based environmental, psychosocial, and medication interventions. The standard of practice in modern SUD treatment no longer relies on inpatient hospital services, except for the most medically complex patients. Continuity and duration of ambulatory services are more important than the provision of care in residential settings (IOM, 2006).

She's currently on her Bangerz world tour, but Miley Cyrus took a moment to perform at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards tonight (May 18).
The 21-year-old teamed up with Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips to perform The Beatles' hit "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" while in the United Kingdom.
She has one of the most recognizable faces in the world, but now Miley Cyrus' knee is getting some attention as well.
During a concert at London club GAY, a fan snapped a shot of the "We Can't Stop" singer's knee, noting that it looked like actor Seth Rogen.
She took over the G-A-Y club stage in London last week and in addition to riding a giant inflatable penis, Miley Cyrus went on a curse-ridden rant about troubling boy drama.
While many thought that the long boy-bashing shoutout was geared directly towards Liam Hemsworth, the "Wrecking Ball" singer set the record straight on Tuesday (May 13).
Creating another headline-grabbing moment, Miley Cyrus went off on an expletive rant during her London performance over the weekend.
While performing on stage at G-A-Y Club on Friday (May 9), the 21-year-old singer blasted a former flame, which definitely seems to be directed to her ex-fiance Liam Hemsworth.
She has a penchant for controversy and during her London concert last week, Miley Cyrus made an eyebrow raising joke that angered quite a few fans.
The "We Can't Stop" singer joked with the crowd and said, "You know, everyone's a little bit gay. It's the truth. Everyone's gay, all it takes is one cocktail."
Using her Hannah Montana connections to her advantage, Willow Smith is reaching out to Miley Cyrus.
The "Whip My Hair" singer tweeted the Bangerz beauty on Wednesday (May 7) writing, "@MileyCyrus let's sing together soon."
Back to her wild antics, Miley Cyrus enjoyed an evening at London's 100 Club on Wednesday (May 7).
The "We Can't Stop" singer rocked a pair of tiny denim shorts with sky-high platform shoes while stepping out of the England hotspot to a mob of excited fans.
Proving herself as one tough cookie, Miley Cyrus performed a concert in London, England last night (May 6) following an extended hospitalization for an allergic reaction.
Surrounded by costumed backup dancers, the "Party in the USA" singer showed her UK fans how to get their freak on as she triumphantly returned to her BANGERZ Tour.

Instructional Leadership
View Related Links for Instructional Leadership
There has been much discussion regarding the relative effectiveness of different leadership styles in bringing about improved student performance. Instructional leadership is one of the most useful tools in creating a forward-looking, student-centered school environment.
Instructional leadership can be defined as "those actions that a principal takes, or delegates to others, to promote growth in student learning." In practice, this means that the principal encourages educational achievement by making instructional quality the top priority of the school and brings that vision to realization. The role of an instructional leader differs from that of traditional school administrator in a number of meaningful ways. Whereas a conventional principal spends the majority of his/her time dealing with strictly administrative duties, a principal who is an instructional leader is charged with redefining his/her role to become the primary learner in a community striving for excellence in education. As such, it becomes the principal's responsibility to work with teachers to define educational objectives and set school-wide or district wide goals, provide the necessary resources for learning, and create new learning opportunities for students and staff.
The result of instructional leadership is a collaborative learning environment where learning is not confined to the classroom and is the objective of all educators. Instructional leadership is an important departure from the ancient model of administrator as authoritarian. Inherent in the concept is the idea that learning should be a top-down process. If those in charge of the school are excited about learning, then they will share their enthusiasm throughout the community.
Those who learn to be instructional leaders acquire many characteristics that are beneficial to their schools and communities. Instructional leaders exhibit a clear sense of direction for their schools and prioritize and focus attention on the things that really matter in terms of the work of students. Furthermore, instructional leaders know what is happening in their classrooms and develop the capacities of staff by building on their strengths and reducing their weaknesses. These leaders also attempt to sustain improvement and change in their schools by anticipating and overcoming the obstacles that inevitably will emerge along the way.
The National Association of Secondary School Principals is one type of association that offers workshops to help educators acquire the skills necessary to become an effective instructional leader. For example, Leader 1 2 3 - A Development Program for Instructional Leaders is a three-day program designed to help principals build instructional leadership skills. This unique experience focuses on planning, developing, implementing, and measuring skills required to support quality learning in the school and includes practice in team leadership and shared decision-making.

The Albert Shanker Institute. Winter 2000.)
- Can Instructional Leaders be Facilitative Leaders?
- When the concept of instructional leadership emerged in the early 1980s, the "rules" changed for school administrators. Today, prevailing views of leadership suggest that the principal's role should not be to direct others but to create a school culture in which decisions are made collaboratively. This article discusses whether instructive leaders can also act as facilitative leaders.
- How Leadership Influences Student Learning
- It turns out that leadership not only matters: it is second only to teaching among school-related factors in its impact on student learning, according to the evidence compiled and analyzed by the authors. And, say the authors, the impact of leadership tends to be greatest in schools where the learning needs of students are most acute. How do high-quality leaders achieve this impact? By setting directions, by developing people, and by making the organization work. (From Kenneth Leithwood, Karen Seashore Louis, Stephen Anderson and Kyla Wahlstrom. Commissioned by The Wallace Foundation. September 2004.)

- The MetLife Survey of the American Teacher: An Examination of School Leadership
- In schools across the country, more and more emphasis is being placed on the importance of leadership. The school principal is increasingly regarded as the primary factor in implementing reform and raising student achievement. However, those most closely involved with schools – principals, teachers, students and parents – all have different ideas of what school leadership actually means. What should a principal's priorities be? What are the key elements of the principal's job? How do other members of the school community perceive principals? The MetLife Survey of the American Teacher, 2003 examines the attitudes and opinions of teachers, principals, parents and students regarding these and other areas of school leadership.

- Accountability based on student test results is the heart of the No Child Left Behind Act, which assumes that schools can solve their problems if given proper incentives and technical assistance, and that parents should have educational alternatives if the schools fail to do so. This paper discusses evidence on accountability systems, describes the act's accountability model and its underlying assumptions, and offers educators specific recommendations for effective operation in an era of accountability.

A common trope on this website and elsewhere is that alternative business structures and all the other changes in the legal market will hit the traditional high street law firm hard.

For one thing, quantity does not equal quality – better one efficient, accessible law firm down the road than three inefficient, inaccessible practices.

Four Organizations Receive APA's Psychologically Healthy Workplace Award, Nine Honored For Best Practices
WASHINGTON, March 6, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The American Psychological Association will recognize nine organizations for their efforts to promote employee well-being and performance at its eighth annual Psychologically Healthy Workplace Awards in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, March 9.
The four employers who will receive APA's Psychologically Healthy Workplace Award (PHWA) are Bowers + Kubota Consulting ( Hawaii), Triple-S ( Puerto Rico), Christiana Care Health System's Helen F. Graham Cancer Center, ( Delaware) and Tripler Army Medical Center ( Hawaii).
These organizations reported an average turnover rate of just six percent in 2012 – significantly less than the national average of 38 percent estimated by the U.S. Department of Labor. In surveys completed by the winning organizations, on average, fewer than one in five employees (19 percent) reported experiencing chronic work stress, compared to 35 percent nationally, and 84 percent of employees said they were satisfied with their jobs, versus 67 percent across the U.S. workforce. Only 11 percent of employees at these organizations said they intend to seek employment elsewhere within the next year, compared to almost three times as many (31 percent) nationwide.
"Forward-thinking employers such as our 2013 award winners are taking steps to create a positive work environment where employees can thrive," says David W. Ballard, PsyD, MBA, head of APA's Center for Organizational Excellence. "In turn, employees are more engaged and committed to the organization's success. This shared responsibility for creating a psychologically healthy workplace promotes an organizational culture that values well-being and performance and delivers results on both sides of the equation."The Helen F. Graham Cancer Center will be recognized for its comprehensive programs including an annual employee retreat, wellness website and flexible scheduling. The company reports that since the implementation of the annual retreat, employees have demonstrated measureable improvements in conflict management, internal communications and group cohesiveness.

Will Primary Care Be Re-Empowered by an Ailing Economy?
Staff physicians win as well, often making one-third or more than doctors in private practice, with the luxury of spending more time with patients and, because no money changes hand, focusing on care and not worrying about the practice's business aspects.
The clinicians use a complete complement of informational tools: claims analytics and health risk appraisals to identify patients at risk, electronic medical records with embedded best practice and care gap guidelines, and provider profiles to steer patients needing referrals to high performance specialists and inpatient facilities.
Worksite clinics can have had tremendous impact. The City of Port St. Lucie, FL, reported a 3.1:1 return on investment and an 18% total health plan cost drop in its first year of operations. Returns on occupational health, retention and recruitment and lost productivity, are harder to quantify but probably even higher.
Transforming community primary care practices
Worksite clinics are fine for patients in corporations, but how do we change the thousands of small and mid-sized primary care practices in the field? More importantly, how do we allow them to perform the full range of cognitive medicine services they're capable of? Finally, how do we make it worth their while, get primary care off the gerbil's wheel, and encourage young doctors to become generalists?
Two years ago, Paul Grundy, MD, MPH, IBM's Director of Health Transformation, became concerned that his company could not buy comprehensive coordinated care for its U.S. employees.
He could buy an amputation of a diabetic's leg, but he could not buy prevention services to avoid that amputation. Often, he did not see "value" in the outcomes or patient satisfaction associated with the episodic care that IBM was purchasing. He also worried that many of his employees could not name their personal physicians. He saw American primary care's very existence threatened. He knew from a literature review and from IBM's Denmark experience that primary care-based systems saved about 20% in costs and produced 30% better results with immensely greater satisfaction among patients and physicians.
Grundy and his colleagues act
Working through a multi-constituency, action-oriented organization, the Patient Centered Primary Care Collaborative, Dr. Grundy and his colleagues began to drive a powerful market-based reform initiative.
They assembled leaders of nearly 50 Fortune organizations and seven major health plans to describe their findings. His advice to the plans was to move quickly to a primary care model or risk public confrontation and isolation by the Fortunes.
He gathered medical society representatives-family physicians, internists, pediatricians, and osteopaths-for recommendations to re-empower primary care. The result was a declaration of Joint Principles of a Medical Home. Effectively, they argue that American healthcare can be dramatically improved and its cost crisis largely ameliorated if:
- Primary care physicians are paid more to collaborate with specialists on the full continuum management of their patients. This would also reduce the profound income gap between primary care and specialist physicians, and provide reason for medical students to again enter primary care as a career.
- Mechanisms can be developed to ensure that primary care physicians have access to the full range of modern patient evaluation and management information technology tools.
- The rules of engagement are changed between primary care physicians and specialists, so that they can more easily collaborate on patients' care.
This is not a lone view. MEDPAC, the Medicare Payment Commission has also urged Medicare to use medical homes to get Medicare costs under control. In 26 state legislatures, 108 bills introduce "medical homes," and 20 bills in 10 states define the concept and provide for demonstration projects. A few innovative health systems around the country—the Geisinger Health System in Pennsylvania; the Holston Medical Group in Kingsport, TN; Alabama Medicaid; HealthPartners in Minnesota—are actively proving its value.
So far, the major health plans have mounted a few pilots, but nothing substantive or systemic has changed in the way that primary care physicians around the country treated by health plans or specialists. The jury's still out on whether they'll be willing to drive down total claims costs—remember they make a percentage of the whole—by taking advantage of primary care, the most powerful tool at their command.
What does this all mean? Business is defending and advancing its own best interests by taking an active, influential role in transforming healthcare. Whether it can bring enough pressure to bear to bring the entrenched healthcare industry along remains to be seen. But its cause may have just received a boost from the nation's economic woes.

Citizens Holding Company Reports Earnings
Citizens Holding Company (NASDAQ:CIZN) announced today results of operations as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.
Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2010 decreased to $1.696 million, or $0.35 per share-basic and diluted, from $1.840 million, or $0.38 per share-basic and $0.37 per share-diluted for the same quarter in 2009. Net interest income for the second quarter of 2010, after the provision for loan losses for the quarter, was $6.516 million, approximately 0.8% lower than the same period in 2009, in part due to the decrease in yield on interest earning assets partially offset by a decrease in the provision for loan losses. The provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $695 thousand compared to $824 thousand for the same period in 2009. The net interest margin decreased to 3.97% in the second quarter of 2010 from 4.16% in the same period in 2009 primarily because the decrease in yields on earning assets was greater than the decline in rates paid on interest bearing deposits. Non-interest income decreased in the second quarter of 2010 by approximately $113 thousand, or 6.0%, while non-interest expenses increased $71 thousand, or 1.2%, compared to the same period in 2009. Non-interest expense increased mainly due to a $226 thousand increase in salaries and benefits partially offset by reductions in other operating expenses.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 decreased 0.7% to $3.672 million, or $0.76 per share-basic and $0.75 per share-diluted, from $3.699 million, $0.76 per share-basic and $0.75 per share-diluted, for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2010, after the provision for loan losses, increased 3.5% to $13.456 million from $13.002 million for the same period in 2009. Net interest margin decreased to 4.08% in 2010 from 4.14% in 2009. The provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $1.320 million compared to the provision of $1.140 million in 2009. The increase in the provision reflects management's assessment of inherent losses in the loan portfolio including the impact caused by current local and national economic conditions. Non-interest income decreased by $52 thousand, or 1.5%, and non-interest expense increased by $470 thousand, or 4.0%, for the six months ended June 30, 2010 when compared to June 30, 2009. The reduction in non-interest income was due to a reduction in the income from bank owned life insurance. Non-interest expense increased mainly due to an increase in salaries and benefits.

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

Mr President,
I welcome Your Excellency with joy and extend to you and the delegation accompanying you a cordial welcome.
I cherish a pleasant memory of my Apostolic Visit to your dear Nation, and I express my warmest wishes for yourself and all of your fellow countrymen and women. I ask God to help all Lebanese peoples to strengthen the unity of their Nation in reciprocal harmony and respect. I hope that the canonization of a son of your Land, Fr Nimatullah Al-Hardini, will serve as an example of brotherhood to his fellow citizens. I pray God may also sustain the efforts of all men and women of good will working for peace, especially in the region of the Middle East, so tried by unacceptable violence.
Upon Your Excellency and your family, upon the dear Lebanese People and its leaders, I invoke an abundance of Divine Blessings.

done with one half XD jezz this is massive
im making a 6 inch by 6 inch one right now :D
Hi. Any chance of separating the parts on this? I live in a cold climate and the screw part keeps lifting :)
try to print:
Sphere D42.stl and Sphere int H25.stl
spodeopieter - in reply to Mxdbag
I'll separate them and also add ear rafts.
Will have to do it when I'm back at home later tonight.
this ended up being a torture test for my printer, after countless failures i was able to get a complete print. it kept skipping steps until i lowered my stepper motor current and decreased the acceleration. printed nicely.
because it breaks evey once and a while
make a version with only the screw
Ok... whats the secret??? So many thing/kits here on the Thingiverse yet so few get the fit this thing gets. Parts screw together PERFECT! How'd ya do it??? Why can't more be THIS good?
ark19 - in reply to andychn238
the secret is to try and try again until you get it right :)
That's what Rapid Prototyping is for right?
My first few prototypes did not even fit properly. For designers who want to design male/female threads, model a CAD design of the male and female thread on a small size first and print them out. If it fits, use the design on the actual final design and print it out. Saves time and material. I learnt it the hard way hehe ;)

Earlier today, I was made aware of Dr. Goulston's article "Why Rich and Famous Men Stray" by someone who felt this article was a "knock-off" of my recent posts on Psychology Today. I just published a series of three articles under the heading "Why Rich and Powerful People Cheat" Part 1 (5/19), Part 2 (5/20), and Part 3 (5/22). Part 2 was selected as an "essential read" by Psychology Today web site editors.
A brief review of my and Dr. Goulston's posts makes clear why someone might conclude as this person did. But my real and overriding concern lies in portions of Dr. Goulston's article that are unquestionably his own authorship. I'm not referring to him using an addiction model, with which I vehemently disagree. Dr. Goulston creates an imaginary "secondary Asperger's syndrome" and promotes it to the public as if it really exists. Since he's interested in hearing from me if I can support his observations, he will probably not be pleased with this response.

In Fargo, Alcohol Sales Rose Along With Red River
Local authorities said there weren't many drunken driving arrests during the flood emergency except, notably, a woman arrested while trying to drive her van over a levee.
"If they are drinking, I think they're probably staying in their homes," said Jim Thoreson, a Cass County sheriff's chief deputy.
The New Orleans area continues to see increased alcohol and other substance-abuse problems blamed on Hurricane Katrina nearly four years ago, when people ratcheted up their reliance on booze, prescribed anti-anxiety drugs and illegal drugs.
"Alcohol can alleviate some of the stress," said Dr. Howard Osofksy, psychiatry chairman for the Louisiana State University's Health Sciences Center in New Orleans. "When it is used beyond moderation, people who already have problems can have more difficulties, so what's used to help relieve the stress can be problematic in its own right."McLean urged Fargo residents to talk about their feelings. "This is an abnormal situation," he said. "And it's very helpful to know that you're not the only one with these same sorts of issues." For Kevin Schuldheisz, sipping a tall beer with a friend at the Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant bar Tuesday was a good break after a string of long days spent sandbagging, including at two friends' homes that nevertheless suffered flood damage.

Seeing as Act of Valor was constantly, condescendingly referred to as Call of Duty: The Movie, there's something — dare I say it? — oddly poetic about this next piece of news. Variety informs us that Scott Waugh, co-director of this year's surprise action hit, has entered talks to helm DreamWorks' video game adaptation Need for Speed.
First: There's no confirmation on a plot, but Real Steel scribe John Gatins and his brother, George, developed an idea that was to the studio's liking, and the latter sibling is now working on a screenplay. What's more, the tentative, big picture — to the shock of no one who's read something about modern Hollywood — calls for a franchise in the vein of The Fast and the Furious. (Need 5.)
If there proves to be any conflict here, it's one steeped (well, treading) in irony — after all, Waugh has attached himself to High Speed, a racing film that his company, Bandito Brothers, will be producing. It's enough that the title and basic subject matter are wholly similar, but this turn is all the more amusing when you hear it's to follow "the best high-speed police pursuit drivers in the country, assembled as a unit to stop an elusive, high-end underground racing circuit hellbent on running deadly point-to-point races through major American Cities." What are the odds Need for Speed's plot differs from that to a great (much less noticeable) degree?
Although it's nice to think he'd stick with his own company in this case, the financial and career benefits of a DreamWorks-backed Need for Speed film is, I'd wager, far too high to pass over. Should he take on the project — and I very much think he will — the combination of that and Arnold Schwarzenegger's Black Sands could do some big business for both Waugh and Mike McCoy, the Valor co-helmer he'll reunite with on the latter.
Do you hope to see Waugh tackle a Need for Speed film?
With a seemingly endless amount of streaming options — not only the titles at our disposal, but services themselves — we've taken it upon ourselves to highlight the titles that have recently hit the interwebs.

I'm not sure I'd think much about diving into the work of Les Blank if only given a plot synopsis.

Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit
Default Programs does not include WMP 12
Hello I came across a problem in Windows Media Player 12 today after uninstalling some stuff. For some unknown reasons Windows Media Player is not included in the list of 'Default Programs'(screenshot included). I noticed this changed after I uninstalled Zune. I won't be able to make WMP as my default player if this is the case. I would love to hear solutions from you guys.
Edit1: An additional problem that I noticed in WMP music library shows 'unresponsive' for the two folders titled My Music and Public Music. This also applies to Videos, Pictures, and Recorded TV. The last time I checked the Music library in Explorer it does not indicate 'unresponsive' in the two folder locations. I'm wondering what's happening?

Hello Native, and welcome to Seven Forums.
Double check to make sure that you have Windows Media Player checked under the Media Features section in Windows Features.
In addition, this should be able to help add WMP back to being listed in Default Programs.

Function: Freeride, Sliding
Diameter: 70mm
Hardness: 80a
Hub: Offset
Width: 50mm
Contact Patch Width: 42mm
Spacer Size: 10mm
Honestly these were good while they lasted. The issue is that their formula makes them cone very fast and it is a little hard to break these things loose. The cores are very tiny compared to others making it harder to stabilize a slide.so i recommend not getting these wheels when you cane easily buy some mini zombies for the same price and that are more reliable.
great wheels for freerideing! I highly recomend them.
