What a great racer and person. Had the enjoyment of talking with him at length back in 2002 at the Vintage Iron World Championships / Yamaha Race of Champions event at Glen Helen discussing his air suspension systems. Still have his business card in my desk at home. So cool to see him racing motos on a YZ125, YZ250F, YZ250 and YZ426 over the course of the weekend. RIP sir.

Michael Johns, a former American Idol finalist who was successful after the show, died on Friday at the age of 35 — reportedly from a blood clot that originated in his ankle.
Current Category: American Idol
Faking It star Katie Stevens rose to fame in 2010, when the then 16-year-old was a finalist on American Idol. Listen to her killer audition performance, which got her unanimously voted through to Hollywood…
Tell us how you really feel, Mariah! The former American Idol judge said she hated the experience, which she compared to working "in Hell with Satan."
Singer (and super-hunky sexpot — I'm just sayin') Harry Connick Jr is reportedly inking a deal to become the newest American Idol judge alongside Jennifer Lopez and Keith Urban. The Hollywood Reporter, who has been all over the Idol personnel changes, says Harry joined Keith, J-Lo and former judge (now mentor) Randy Jackson at a celebratory shindig hosted by the show's producer, Simon Fuller, where they all toasted the forthcoming announcement.
American Idol alum Justin Guarini, who was runner up to Kelly Clarkson in the first season of the hit competition singing show, is going through a rough time. Just last Sunday he appeared on Oprah's Where Are They Now Show describing how hard it was to experience failure after achieving pretty massive success in the world of pop music. He also took to his website this week to vent about his family not always having enough food to eat, and being terrified of his financial situation. After People magazine and other sites picked up his blog posting, he deleted it and complained on Twitter. "Obviously you completely missed the point of my letter @peoplemag," he tweeted. "News isn't news anymore, and I'm nowhere near poverty. #twistedmytruth'."
The winner of the 2nd season of American Idol, Ruben Studdard, will be joining the cast of The Biggest Loser. This will mark the first time that a celebrity will be part of the NBC weight-loss reality show. He lost a lot of weight previously on a vegetarian diet but put some back on after his divorce last year.
Fox's former flagship competition series American Idol continues sinking as both Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj announced today they are jumping ship and won't be back next season. Keep reading for both of their announcements as well as the statements from Fox and Idol producers on both Mariah and Nicki's departures. Now begins what the show seems to be all about now, which is a competition show for judges competing to judge a singing competition show.
Candice Glover was crowned the winner of American Idol season 12 last night, but today, she's not who everyone is talking about. Instead, the AI judges are once again in the spotlight as Mariah Carey's seven-minute medley performance is receiving criticism from viewers accusing her of lip syncing the whole thing. Keep reading for some of the harsh comments and a statement from Mariah's rep insisting she was indeed singing. (Video included in case you missed it!)
Nicki Minaj signed on to be a judge for American Idol just before their current season began airing, joining fellow R&B diva Mariah Carey. The two personalities didn't mesh well to say the least, and many fans feel that their non-stop feuding has taken away from the mission of the show — which is to find America's top singer, not be a reality show about drama between the judges. With the show's ratings at an all-time low, producers are feeling the pressure to make a change, and it appears that Nicki Minaj won't be returning next season.
Randy Jackson, the last original American Idol judge remaining, announced he will leave the show at the end of the season. Find out why and what that means for the future of the show…

For more than 12 years martial arts expert Patan Jameel Khan has been running from pillar to post to secure a job. His feats, which include winning medals in several national level and international level competitions, have not fetched him any rewards or financial security.
Born in Khammam to a family of vegetable sellers, he took up martial arts when he was 15 years old. After he had achieved some degree of knowledge and skill in his chosen sport, he shifted base and began providing free coaching to schoolchildren in Mancherial.
In 2000, he shifted to Hyderabad, and his passion for achieving excellence drove him on to acquire black belts in kung fu and taekwondo and also a certain level of expertise in kick boxing.
He managed to obtain a sponsorship to take part in the World Karate Championship in Malaysia in 2004. His next international exposure was at the New York Open Taekwondo Championship in 2008 and again in 2010 where he picked up medals. He again repeated the feat in 2011.
In 2012 he took part in the US Capitol Classic Tournament in Washington DC and the Tournament of Champions, USA, and in both tournaments he again bagged medals. His trip this time was sponsored by the Family Club, New Bowenpally, which provided his tickets to the US.
After reaching the US, in between tournaments, he took up coaching children of non-resident Indians there to supplement his income.
In Hyderabad, he gives coaching to students of Safdaria Girls High School, Humayun Nagar, but his income is paltry.
He has been trying to land a coaching job with a government organisation, but luck has not been on his side.
As of now Jameel waits in the hope that his achievements will finally be recognised and rewarded.
In spite of winning medals at national and international meets over the last 12 years, martial arts expert Patan Jameel Khan has been running from pillar to post to secure a job

Justin Bieber Meets Rising Pop Star Austin Mahone For First Time Ever (PHOTO)
San Antonio singer Austin Mahone has finally met his idol, Justin Bieber!
The two pop artists were introduced at Z100's Elvis Duran studio in New York City on June 21.
The 16-year-old rising star tweeted:
"Met my inspiration @justinbieber Finally(: THANK U @ElvisDuran."The up-and-comer is already making young girls swoon, following in the footsteps of the "Believe" singer, 18, by using YouTube as a launchpad. Mahone has 700,000 Twitter followers and has an iTunes single that's sold 100,000 copies. Mahone was also recently featured in The Hollywood Reporter magazine, even being coined "Baby Bieber" by veteran music writer Jenny Eliscu.
So who is Mahone?
Mahone began his music career on YouTube, the singer has uploaded over 100 videos of himself singing, managing to build sizeable fan base.
Young girls are lining up to see him; Mahone recently sold $60,000 worth of tickets for his concert at New York's Best Buy Theater, which sold out in less than an hour.
Mahone has even opened up for pop stars like Adam Lambert, The Wanted and Carly Rae Jepsen at Philadelphia pop station Q102's Concert in late May.
Listen to Austin Mahone's new single "Say Something" and watch a few of his cover song videos below -- More videos on YouTube channel.

I joined Assistance League seven years ago as a way to make new friends after moving to Norman. I got involved with Operation School Bell immediately and continue to volunteer with this vitally important outreach. As a retired teacher, I know how important it is to arrive at school ready to learn. Having appropriate school clothing that allows you to" fit in" with your peers is a critical component of school success. Counselors who accompany students to School Bell regularly comment on how grateful the children are for their new clothing and what a boost these items give them in terms of self esteem and school performance. Working School Bell is as rewarding an experience for the volunteer as it is for the student attending. The stories we share after each session run the gamut of emotions...poignant, funny and always heartwarming.

Wales lock Ian Evans will discover if he will miss the Six Nations when he faces a European Rugby Cup disciplinary hearing on Thursday.
The Ospreys second-row was sent off by referee Romain Poite for allegedly stamping on Leinster counterpart Mike McCarthy during last Friday's Heineken Cup clash.
The incident left Ireland international McCarthy with blood streaming down his face and Poite made the decision to dismiss Evans, who has won 32 caps for his country, after viewing television replays.
The range of suspensions for a stamping offence begin at two weeks, with the upper-end punishment being anything between nine and 52 weeks.
Jeremy Summers of England has been appointed as the independent Judicial Officer for the hearing in Dublin.
Not sure
Following Friday's game, Ospreys backs coach Gruff Rees had said: "It was a big moment, but I'm not sure about it to be honest, like a lot of observers, I think.
"Perhaps it was a bit reckless, but there were a lot of replays needed to make a decision, which suggests it wasn't that clear and obvious.
"It took five or six times in slow-mo to isolate the incident. I don't know if that's clear and obvious from a red card point of view, and it changes the game.
"You have to be absolutely certain with a red card, and that there were so many replays and there are still so many differing opinions on it suggests that the clips may not have been totally conclusive.
"I think when it does get slowed down to the nth degree, something worse can be made of it."

Who Wrote the Book on Swine Flu?
In 2005, two researchers published a study of another swine flu outbreak in America, a cautionary tale that is (as of this writing) ranked 73,467 on Amazon.com.
Another swine flu outbreak in 1976 resulted in billions of dollars in lawsuits over the unexpected side-effects of the hastily-prepared immunization program, as Gawker reminds us. In 2005, University Press of the Pacific published a book about this chilling bit of history: "The Swine Flu Affair: Decision-making on a Slippery Disease" by Richard E. Neustadt and Harvey V. Fineberg. The incident generated a humorous essay in a May 1976 issue of The New Yorker, as Emdashes points out.
Here's a summary of the book, from Amazon: "The Swine Flu Affair contains a reconstruction of the events leading up to and surrounding the swine flu immunization program, which has been gathered by combining press accounts, hearings, official files, and interviews with participants. This study will be of value to all who are interested in the process by which large decisions are made."

Haunted by missed opportunities: Celtics lose to Heat, now trail 3-1
If the Celtics proceed to lose this series—and after falling behind 3-1, winning will be no small task—they will have nightmares about tonight. They will wake up with their hearts pumping, sweat dripping down their bodies, the sheets strewn across the bed. And a series of plays will be running through their heads:
Rajon Rondo's wide open layup in the final minute. The fast break pass Rondo threw behind Jeff Green. The final possession of regulation, when Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett forgot what they were doing; Paul Pierce ended up going left even though he loves going right. The Delonte West three in overtime that would have cut the deficit to two. The missed box-out on Chris Bosh's tip-in, which resulted from two odd cross-matchups—Garnett on Lebron and Paul Pierce on Bosh. The three-pointer Lebron hit from the wing to tie the game at 84. Dwyane Wade's stepback, extra-long two in Delonte's mug. The Celtics will remember all the little plays that hurt their chances, because even on a night their offense went stagnant, a win was only inches away.
Two great basketball teams met at the TD Garden tonight, two teams who compete with an edge of greatness. We saw so many special things—a Lebron-Pierce first-half duel, Rondo playing (and for a short time, at least, excelling) with a deflated arm, Wade, James and Bosh winning almost three-on-five—but in the end, as playoff basketball normally does, the game came down to who could execute better in the half-court. This was the question facing the Heat all year long; when a playoff game slowed to a halt, could they still manufacture enough offense against a set Boston defense. The answer, at least tonight, was yes.
The Heat weren't perfect. Far from it, actually, at least offensively. Lebron occasionally dribbled off his leg; he and Wade settled for tough fadeaway jumpers; and their teammates (not including Bosh) did mostly nothing. Miami, like Boston, was alternately brilliant and bumbling, alternately stifled by a magnificent defense and unstoppable even by the finest of defensive efforts. But when the game got put into a blender, when everything slowed down and offense became a task of precision rather than grace, Miami had enough to keep the Celtics from crashing their party. The Heat offense was timely, and their defense was everywhere; a collage of long arms and nimble legs moving in unison, making good looks for Boston as difficult to find as a misplaced hair on Pat Riley's head.
As the Heat forced bad Boston possession after bad Boston possession, my sunken heart briefly though back to Game 7 against the Los Angeles Lakers. After I vomited right there on my couch, I pushed the memory out of my head. But that was the last time a defense forced Boston to look so bad. Don't get me wrong: at multiple times this season, Boston's offense has looked worse than it did during the second half tonight. Yet the prior hideousness was more complacency than anything else, while tonight was just the struggles of a team desperately searching for a way to combat Miami's youth and athleticism. And though the Celtics at least matched Miami's effort, I would be remiss not to mention Miami's heart. The Heat deserved to win tonight. They earned it.
After the legendary grit Boston exhibited Saturday, Celtics fans' worst fears were realized today: the Celtics spent every dime in their pockets on Saturday and saved almost nothing for today. In two days, they aged ten years. Kevin Garnett wasn't nearly as aggressive, nor as productive. Rajon Rondo, after briefly casting a spell over the arena, began to feel the effects of his displaced elbow. Ray Allen found difficulty getting clean looks. Shaq could only play three and a half minutes. Paul Pierce couldn't do it all by himself. And Glen Davis, well, let's just not talk about him.
The Celtics were running on reserve power to begin with. But somehow, despite so much conspiring against them—out-rebounded 45-28; out-shot in both percentage (44.3% to 42.9%) and quantity (79-70); playing with a one-armed point guard; relying on three stars that are a combined 102 years old; and struggling to match up with Miami's small lineup down the stretch—the Celtics were right there on the cusp of tying the series. So many times, one play—one forced turnover, one made jumper, one rebound—could have turned the game in Boston's favor. But the Celtics never made that play, and if they lose one more time, they'll have the rest of the summer to regret it.

Oh, I think you are a bit naive. The Heat knew that the Celtics with Rondo could beat them, while the Celtics without Rondo would be too old. Wade handled that little problem. Oh, but Doc said that Wade didn't mean to hurt Rondo. Yeah. Doc says a lot of crap.
The Celtics aged ten years from Saturday to Monday because of Rondo's injury. It didn't help that they lost home court advantage, thanks to Danny, and that they had two old guys held together with glue, tape and hope playing center, thanks to Danny, but with a healthy Rondo, we still could have won this series.

As much as Ainge deserves to lose his job for blowing our season with The Trade, I'm not sure who would be better to rebuild with. My only thought about next year at this point is that I think Rondo and Delonte could be a fine starting backcourt, and that Rondo MUST MUST MUST spend the summer working on his shot (and yes, on a hookshot, a skyhook, if you will – he could be money on the postup against a lot of guards).

so now the c's gotta steal the next game in miami, not impossible right? then its going to take another 1-10 performance from kg to lose another one at home. then when game 7 at miami comes it can go either way, esp if the c's can get the next two and put all the pressure on the heat. the celtics did it twice before and went on to win it all, hopefully the guys can find it in them to win 3 straight. lets go celtics all day everyday

Hurts but we had a good run. That miracle run in the playoffs last year was one of the most exciting things I've ever seen in sports. I'll always love this Big 3 and what they brought back to Boston. Hopefully we can put some meaningful pieces around Rondo and be relevant again before the Lakers are.

What's sad is that I think we all witnessed the last great game of the big three Saturday. They won't go down without a fight but they will unfortunately lose the series. With the impending lockout, no season seems likely, and then by then the big three won't offer what they can now. Not how I wanted to end it at all.
Rondeezy, very positive and optimistic, I like the attitude. That said, I'm with Sarah & Brad on this one. It's devastating and this core had a nice run, but this era is over. Or I should say, the prime of this era is over. Because Ainge could (for some dumbass reason) forsee a championship caliber team with this same core after te lockout. I don't buy it.
I think Danny should say fuck it. Blow the team up, except for Rondo, baby and green. They're all young and have some remaining potential. And hell, if they don't play well, they're valuable trade assets. Kinda.
I say, do what Magic Johnson suggested about the lakers. Say to every GM in the league, " we're open to any trade for anyone on our team, except RR". I seriously think that if management did that, and called Otis Smith first, we might be able to land Dwight Howard.
Devastating. Really is.. But by now, plan for the future. And at this point no one should be surprised if they get sent home now:
Hope For the best, prepare for the worst.

I don't think it's categorically impossible for us to win this series. To win this series, I think we need basically two things to happen: we need Rondo to overcome his injury and we need KG to establish himself in the post and on the boards, outplaying Bosh consistently. Those are the two sine qua nons for us in this series. But, as I recall, Bosh has outplayed Garnett three games out of four, and Rondo? Well, nothing is impossible with this kid, but as I understand it, his injury will take a couple of weeks to heal. We could still win this thing, but that would mean Garnett, who has lost three out of four matches to Bosh, dominating Bosh for three straight games, and Rondo playing out of his head with one arm.
And all that is assuming that Wade doesn't just decide to take Rondo out again. I'm sorry, but that was virtually a martial arts move by Wade against Rondo on Saturday night. I'm no more going to shut up about that brutally dirty play than I am going to shut up about The Trade. What Wade did was the epitome of dirty basketball. I've NEVER before seen a guy deliberately take out the best player on the opposing team, not that I recall anyway.
But assuming we are done for the season, what a year it has been. Yes, I think Danny blew a chance for a championship, but the way this team struggled through adversity, including The Trade and its aftermath (which certainly wasn't the players' fault), was something very special to behold, and game three against the Heat was truly a game for all time. I feel so proud of this team.
Now we build around Rondo. And Danny, if you want to make it up to us for the absolutely HEINOUS stunt you pulled at the trade deadline this year, then do this: spend the summer living with Rajon Rondo and make sure he practices his shooting, all day, every day. Don't worry about trades and moves, about bringing in players, the draft, or whatever. You have one job and one job only this summer: stay on Rondo's case all day, every day. If Rondo learns to shoot consistently, even if it's just to hit free throws consistently, we will have the best player in the league, without question, on our team. There's nothing we can do in the draft, or via personnel moves, that could be more important for our future.
Especially if Rondo works on a skyhook! I tellya, Rondo could really be money in the pivot with a skyhook!! Especially if he combines that with a jump hook and a few other pivot moves…

As far as who to keep out of the players we have, I say we keep Rondo and Delonte as our starting guards. I'd like to keep the Big Three, if they are willing to play reduced roles, starting with Allen. Green and Baby? I don't think either of those guys has necessarily earned a guaranteed role in the Celtics' future. I hope Ainge doesn't get stubborn about The Trade, holding onto Green for dear life. That would be a huge mistake. Ainge needs to write The Trade off.

Geez, the more I think about it, the more certain I am that Ainge will be stubborn about Green. Ainge just has to go.
Doesn't change the fact that the single most important thing that can happen this summer is for Rondo to work on his shooting. I hope the team understands that who we draft and who we sign and who we trade and trade for – all that means nothing compared to the significance of Rondo working on his shooting.

I'm pulling my hair out at all the missed attempts in the 4Q. The ones Jay mentioned but also the missed tip by Garnett — he was right next to the hoop and missed a basket, then tried to tip it in and it wouldn't go.
But Delonte West said they let down in the 3Q. And Pierce says they didn't execute on the last play, which he says carried into OT. NO EXCUSES! This was a must win game! WTF?! While everyone else is pouring their hearts out for the C's effort, I am not happy with it. They had to bring it for 48 mins today and they didn't. 13 pts in the 4Q??? I don't care how good Miami's defense is, they threw it away with sloppy passes and turnovers. And Ray-Ray missed at least 3 wide open 3′s today that he was knocking down in the last series.
The season is over, short of a miracle, but I don't put much stock in miracles. I think the C's will lie down in game 5, like the Lakers did against Dallas in game 4, but I hope I'm wrong.
Did someone actually include Davis in the future plans for the C's? Get rid of that fat piece of jelly. He's counterproductive. Yes, if Ray and Paul and KG will become role players like Duncan and company did in San Antonio, then this team could rebuild with them in the plans. But you saw what happened to the Spurs. The C's need youth. West and Rondo in the backcourt could definitely work with Allen off the bench.
Question for everyone: How much is Doc to blame for all the turnovers in this series? How many bad passes led to Miami points? 25 today, Miami scored off Boston turnovers. That is inexecusable. Age was not a factor today; it was mental discipline; they let their foot off the gas.
An era is over. Thanks to the Big 3 for 2008. Let's hope it's not another 20 something years before they win another championship.

How does a pollyanna perspective equate to "putting things in perspective"? That's the sports version of patriotism, where patriotism means "my country right or wrong".
I think the positive perspective is that we can still beat this team. But for us to do it, KG has to start consistently dominating Bosh, and Rondo has to overcome his injury. If we can do that, and play tough defense, and get more help from the bench, and keep movement going on offense, we can win. To accomplish all that, the Celtics have to have the kind of determination that lasts more than one game. They have to play the way they played the third game for three straight games. If I were them, I'd watch Wade taking down Rondo over and over again. Has anyone ever seen one team do this to another team, deliberately taking out the opposition's best player? Do you really want to lose to such a team, Celtics? Consider that by doing such a thing, the Heat as much as CONFESSED openly that they ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!
If Rondo can work a miracle, and Kevin can take control of the post and keep it, and the team finds that determination that can last three games, not just one, yes, we can still win this.
We know that Rondo will find a way to play with this injury, and excel, if he can (and if he doesn't think he can give us more than five assists, he needs to ask Rivers to start Delonte). The real mystery is KG. Even if they were fronting and double teaming him last night, we are talking about the best passing big man in the game! The pass he threw to Rondo in the overtime seemed to exemplify his game; just somehow not quite there where it needed to be.

The C's don't have the focus they did last year. We saw lapses in last night's game.
But….it could all start with a win tomorrow night, giving them one more chance to tie it in Boston. I hope they don't lie down like the Lakers did in Dallas. At least go down fighting. Celtic pride, right?

A nation of takersMarch 28,2014In the debate about poverty, critics argue that government assistance saps initiative and is unaffordable. After exploring the issue, I must concede that the critics have a point. Here are five public welfare programs that are wasteful and turning us into a nation of takers.
First, welfare subsidies for private planes. The United States offers three kinds of subsidies to tycoons with private jets: accelerated tax write-offs, avoidance of personal taxes on the benefit by claiming that private aircraft are for security, and use of air traffic control paid for by chumps flying commercial.
As the leftists in the George W. Bush administration put it when they tried unsuccessfully to end this last boondoggle: The family of four taking a budget vacation is subsidizing the CEOs flying on a corporate jet.
I worry about those tycoons sponging off government. Wont our pampering damage their character? Wont they become addicted to the entitlement culture, demanding subsidies even for their yachts? Oh, wait ...
Second, welfare subsidies for yachts. The mortgage-interest deduction was meant to encourage a home-owning middle class. But it has been extended to provide subsidies for beach homes and even yachts.
In the meantime, money was slashed last year from the public housing program for Americas neediest. Hmm. How about if we house the homeless in these publicly supported yachts?
Third, welfare subsidies for hedge funds and private equity. The single most outrageous tax loophole in the United States is for carried interest, allowing people with the highest earnings to pay paltry taxes. They can magically reclassify their earned income as capital gains, because that carries a lower tax rate (a maximum of 23.8 percent this year, compared with a maximum of 39.6 percent for earned income).
Lets just tax capital gains at earned income rates, as we did under President Ronald Reagan, that notorious scourge of capitalism.
Fourth, welfare subsidies for Americas biggest banks. The too-big-to-fail banks in the United States borrow money unusually cheaply because of an implicit government promise to rescue them. Bloomberg View calculated last year that this amounts to a taxpayer subsidy of $83 billion to our 10 biggest banks annually.
President Barack Obama has proposed a bank tax to curb this subsidy, and this year a top Republican lawmaker, Dave Camp, endorsed the idea as well. Big banks are lobbying like crazy to keep their subsidy.
Fifth, large welfare subsidies for American corporations from cities, counties and states. A bit more than a year ago, Louise Story of The New York Times tallied more than $80 billion a year in subsidies to companies, mostly as incentives to operate locally. (Conflict alert: The New York Times Co. is among those that have received millions of dollars from city and state authorities.)
You see where Im going. We talk about the unsustainability of government benefit programs and the deleterious effects these can have on human behavior, and these are real issues. Well-meaning programs for supporting single moms can create perverse incentives not to marry, or aid meant for a needy child may be misused to buy drugs. Lets acknowledge that helping people is a complex, uncertain and imperfect struggle.
But, perhaps because we now have the wealthiest Congress in history, the first in which a majority of members are millionaires, we have a one-sided discussion demanding cuts only in public assistance to the poor, while ignoring public assistance to the rich. And a one-sided discussion leads to a one-sided and myopic policy.
Were cutting one kind of subsidized food food stamps at a time when Gallup finds that almost one-fifth of American families struggled in 2013 to afford food. Meanwhile, we ignore more than $12 billion annually in tax subsidies for corporate meals and entertainment.
Sure, food stamps are occasionally misused, but anyone familiar with business knows that the abuse of food subsidies is far greater in the corporate suite. Every time an executive wines and dines a hot date on the corporate dime, the average taxpayer helps foot the bill.
So lets get real. To stem abuses, the first target shouldnt be those avaricious infants in nutrition programs but tycoons in their subsidized Gulfstreams.
However imperfectly, subsidies for the poor do actually reduce hunger, ease suffering and create opportunity, while subsidies for the rich result in more private jets and yachts. Would we rather subsidize opportunity or yachts? Which kind of subsidies deserve more scrutiny?
Some conservatives get this, including Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla. He has urged scaling back ludicrous handouts to millionaires that expose an entitlement system and tax code that desperately need to be reformed.
After all, quite apart from the waste, we dont want to coddle zillionaires and thereby sap their initiative!

Creepiest thing I've heard in a long time: An assisted living staff member was arresting for burying a resident behind the facility.
85% of nursing homes reported abuse or neglect in 2012.
Assisted living operators sometimes have a checkered past. That's why it's always good to check with your local nursing home ombudsman or check your state's assisted living complaints database.
How do caregivers cope with lost income due to caring for a loved one?
This makes me sick: A broker in California used nursing home residents' identities to scam investors.
Seniors contemplate suicide for a number of reasons.
Two big senior housing companies are merging to create a giant retirement community provider.
For a long time now, I've written about how consumers can use Medicare.gov's tool, Nursing Home Compare, to get ratings for skilled nursing facilities in their area. However, today I have decided that I can no longer endorse the use of Nursing Home Compare use as a tool for deciding between facilities.
There have been complaints about the accuracy of Nursing Home Compare's ratings for a long time, but last week, several articles came out that make it impossible to ignore the problems. According to the New York Times:
Only one of the three criteria used to determine the star ratings — the results of annual health inspections — relies on assessments from independent reviewers. The other measures — staff levels and quality statistics — are reported by the nursing homes and accepted by Medicare, with limited exceptions, at face value.
The ratings also do not take into account entire sets of potentially negative information, including fines and other enforcement actions by state, rather than federal, authorities, as well as complaints filed by consumers with state agencies.
The remainder of the article goes into greater depth about how ratings are calculated and instances in which highly-rated nursing homes did not provide adequate patient care. (It's a good article, and well worth the read if you have family members who need skilled nursing care.)
What should consumers do with this information? Well, a few things:
You can still use the site to find nursing homes in your area. It's pretty straight-forward to type in your city, state, and ZIP code and narrow your search to a specific area. This is super helpful if you're just getting started and need a quick, all-in-one place to find rating information.
You can still use the site to find basic information about a community. Nursing Home Compare still has a wealth of information: ownership, inspection reports, type of payments accepted, and location. So, feel free to use the site to help you learn more about potential skilled nursing facilities.
You can't trust the site to provide accurate ratings. Unfortunately, you just can't trust what you see on Nursing Home Compare. It's too easy for nursing homes to game the system right now, and that means that the ratings just aren't indicative of quality of care. Even using it to weed out seemingly poor-performing providers isn't a good recipe for finding the best nursing home.
However, here are a few other ways of checking the quality of care at a senior housing community:
I'm continually reminded of the fact that skilled nursing, assisted living, and dementia care are not easy jobs. The senior housing industry has a difficult problem: How can it make money, offer the highest possible level of care, and provide an affordable product? So far, no one has been able to provide a good solution to that equation, and it's only served to harm seniors during a very vulnerable time in their lives.
Unfortunately, the odds are not in a consumer's favor, and it's very difficult to find a good, one-stop source for senior housing information. Especially after this week's article, I can no longer recommend Nursing Home Compare as a viable option.
Want to learn more? Here are a few other links that you might find helpful:

I spend a lot of time looking at Disclosure Statements for senior housing communities, and most people don't know just how difficult it is to get one of these statements. Since some retirement communities view me as "an enemy," they will not share any of their information with me. Instead, I often have to submit freedom of information requests with the states in which CCRCs are located. This is a costly and time-consuming process. It can take months to receive documents, and I have spent hundreds of dollars in copying and postage fees.
That's where you come in.
As a senior or a family member, CCRCs should be giving you their Disclosure Statement as part of the marketing routine. They should also give you a full copy of their Resident Agreement.

I hope that no one ever has to use the information in this post. However, senior caregivers are in a unique position to either help people in their most vulnerable hour or inflict serious injury on them. While the industry has been working (somewhat unsuccessfully) to improve its safety record, there are a few things that you can do if you notice a facility isn't properly caring for its residents:
First of all, if it's an emergency, call 911. I sometimes forget to mention this because it seems really obvious, but not everyone thinks about it. If you see someone who is in serious danger, you can (and should) call the police. It may turn out to be something that is best handled by another agency, but, frankly, why not let the management sort that out? Your job is to keep your loved one safe.
Also, don't hesitate to remove your loved one from the situation. There are probably other nursing homes in your area that meet your criteria and can provide good-quality care. If something "just doesn't seem right," then feel free to take your business (and your loved one) elsewhere.
If it's not an emergency, but you suspect that there are problems or if you feel that your loved one is being unfairly treated, then you have a few things that you can do to help the situation:
1) Document everything. Whatever the situation, you will have a much stronger case if you keep a detailed record of your findings. Take pictures. Write down notes if you notice unusual behavior, bruising, marks, treatment, or other problems with dates, times, and other pertinent details. In some cases, police have even used hidden cameras to catch nursing home abuse. (Note: Check with authorities before placing hidden cameras or wires, since recording without someone's consent can be a crime in some areas.)
2) Call the nursing home ombudsman in your area. You may not know it, but there is an individual (called an "ombudsman") who is designated as a consumer advocate in your area. The nursing home ombudsman program is completely free for you to use, and the ombudsman in your area will be able to help you get your grievances resolved. Click here for information about locating an ombudsman in your area.
3) Call the state health department, aging, or human services. States regulate nursing home and assisted living facilities. Often, the state will handle certification and bed licensure, which means that a ding on the state's database can prevent bad communities from having their licenses renewed. Formally submitting a claim can help open investigations into nursing home abuse and cement the case against operators. You should note two things about state oversight: 1) The department that regulates nursing homes differs from state to state, so you'll have to do some research online to find the right person. 2) State regulatory oversight can be a slow and steady process, so you cannot count on the state to fix problems in a short time period. If your loved one is in danger, remove them from the facility immediately.
4) Call the county health department. Often times, the county will have some oversight in local nursing homes, especially when it comes to how the kitchen is handled. If you encounter a problem with sanitation, county health department employees may be able to help intervene to fix the problem.
Again, I hope that you never have to use the information in this post. Unfortunately, some residents of assisted living and nursing facilities experience abuse or neglect. It's up to family members, friends, and concerned staff members to do something to prevent this type of treatment from continuing.

MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) – Mobile Public Works Director Bill Harkins tells FOX10 News his crews are hard at work when it comes to severe weather, especially with the threat of severe weather in our viewing area, April 28.
FOX10 News wanted to know more about what the city of Mobile does when it comes to weather preparation.
Make sure whatever is having issues then are corrected as best we can," said Harkins. "Because we have such a big city, we try to do business as usual. But we also went and paid particular attention to bridges and culverts where roads run over them," he said.
Harkins said one of the biggest concerns when it comes to Public Works are things like debris getting clogged in storm drains and ultimately preventing the flow of water, causing flooding throughout the city.
"If a branch of some garbage block up one of the avenues where water goes underneath a bridge, it can cause vibration as water pressure gets higher and higher and cause some severe damage," said Harkins.
Harkins said there are also things you can do to help prevent flooding in city streets, like bringing in your garbage can so it does not block a drain.
"If they are out there blowing leaves, don't blow them into the storm drain. That's actually illegal. If they could rake them up and put them in trash bags, that would be a huge help," he said.

Those of you who haven't seen a completely suspended building before, rest your eyes on this innovative design for a hanging night club by Urbanplunger.
Urbanplunger, a young architectural firm, has created this stunning creation for the international Night Club Hotel Hong Kong competition. Built to accommodate Hong Kong's space constraints, this suspended building by Urbanplunger is actually hanging in the air, its weight completely supported by "wings" that rest on the buildings on either side of the structure. According to Evolo, the building acts as an "architectural parasite that leans on its neighboring buildings and uses their internal infrastructure."
Underneath the building there is a small green park with suspended lifts that will take people up to the night club level.

August 7, 2014
The B.C. Jr. A Lacrosse League recently announced its annual awards and all star teams. As might be expected the New Westminster Salmonbellies dominated the awards and all star selection. One Jr. Shamrocks found his way onto the first all-star team and that was rookie Cole Pickup.
Incidentally, the Coquitlam Adanacs won an exciting 7-game series against the Salmonbellies and will go on to host the Calgary Mountaineers for the right to represent Western Canada and host the Minto Cup. That best-of-five series commences tonight with all games being played in Coquitlam.
July 24, 2014
Well, the season for the Jr. Shamrocks is over for 2014 as they went down in straight games in their semi final series against the Coquitlam Adanacs. Still in all, the season wasn't a failure as the boys gave it a valiant effort. For a young team, a third place finish was a good regular season outcome but the team couldn't match the depth of the Adanacs.
Team awards were given out Wednesday in a get-together at the Langford Boston Pizza location. Guest MC Steve Duffy from CFAX sports did a great job for the team. Below are the award winners for 2014:
Top Scorer: McLean Chicquen, a rookie
Top Rookie: Cole Pickup, still an intermediate aged player
Top Defensive Player: Chris Kasper
Sportsman of the Year: combining sportsmanship and ability, Karver Everson
Most Inspirational Player: Jake Carder
Most Valuable Player: Team captain Max Fredrickson
Most Popular: Matt Baxter
Most Improved Player: Goaltender Charles Claxton
Best Conditioned: Ryan Fedrigo
The team also presented etched steins and home jerseys to 10 graduating players: Karver Everson, Jake Carder, Derek Lecky, Ryley Brown, Alex Margetson, Brendan Mykle-Winkler, Mason Pynn, Fred Bathurst-Hunt, Matt Justason and Darren Bourret. Congratulations and good luck moving forward in your lacrosse careers.
Three service awards were also presented for outstanding contributions to the Jr. and Intermediate Shamrocks organizations:
Bob Reid Merit Award: Jr. Shamrocks Manager Dave Wilkie
Bill Russell Service Award: Intermediate & Jr. Rocks Equipment Manager Dano Ryan
Shamrock Pride Award: GM and Governor of both the Intermediate and Jr. Shamrocks Rod Wood
Incidentally, the WLA Shamrocks have called Charles Claxton to dress as a back-up to Cody Hagedorn for this Friday's game against the Burnaby Lakers. Intermediate goaltender Liam Reid was honoured to take on that role last week and even played the last few minutes of the game. Good luck, Charles!

Reliable George
George did it by Suzanne Tripp Jurmain ; illustrated by Larry Day — Do you ever get nervous about a big job you have been asked to do? George Washington did. Americans wanted George to be the first President of the United States, and George didn't want to do it. He was nervous about this huge job and all that it entailed. But George was a humble and reliable man, and he put aside his own feelings to help his new country when they needed him. A true hero, George Washington's birthday is on February 22.

Get into the Christmas spirit in Cape TownIn case you're not yet feeling the Christmas spirit, here are some ways to get the festive feeling.
Your #lovecapetown weekend: What's on from Thursday 18 December to Sunday 21 December, 2014
Rob PetersAnother big weekend in the Mother City with some big dance events and plenty of market shopping on the agenda. Looking for something to do? Well look no further than this handy guide!
Tips to have a seamless summer in Cape Town
Rob PetersIf you're coming to Cape Town this summer and are not quite sure what to expect, we have a handy guide to help you enjoy your holiday without any snags, hitches or hiccups. From getting around the Mother City to predicting the weather, we want you to leave wanting to come back for more.
Life is 'Kwak' in the Mother City"We will need your left shoe please sir, we can't have you running off with our glass…" And with that begins my Kwak Beer Experience at Den Anker at the V&A Waterfront. The relinquishing of my left shoe dates back to a tradition which began in 19th Century Belgium. If I want to drink the beer, I need to forfeit my left shoe… for a time at least. The tradition started because the glasses were extremely expensive and difficult to replace at the time. It sparked a Belgian custom in which the barman kept the left shoe of patrons until the glass had been returned.

2005 Nissan 350Z Touring Roadster Review
This car has great handling and a great look! Normally with a sports car I want a manual transmission but with it being a Roadster I enjoy just being able to cruise around!
There is no back seat and not a very big trunk, but that is to be expected with a little sports car like this!
Great Car And Fun To Drive — The 305z Roadster is a fun weekend car and daily driver in the Summer! I have never owned a car that makes me want to drive all the time like it does. The handling on the Z cars never disappoints!
Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)
Looking for a Used 350Z in your area?CarGurus has 1,741 nationwide 350Z listings starting at $5,950.

2005 Nissan 350Z Enthusiast Review
Great handling, everything is in one pack
Want space? Get you a truck
Fairladyz — You can enjoy the speed, or go around curves. I live in east TN, so there are plenty of curves. Like The Tail of the Dragon is my best ride to drive. Maintenance is easy, you can do it yourself, or take it to the shop. And you don't have to spend like thousand $$$ for it like BMW or Mercedes etc....
Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

inexperienced driving ruining reputation
350z — an awesome car for those that can respect a fast car. But not for those who are just learnign to drive a sports car. Will bite back when driven improperly. Gas mileage is good for a car of this type. suspension is pretty stiff for daily driving

fast, fun, never disappoint behind the wheel

A Car That Doesnt Get Old Driving, Ya Just Want To Keep Coming Back For More. — this is truely an amazing car. as soon as you climb into it, you have this sensation knowing you are in a true sports car. the sleek interior allows for complete fuctionallity for the driver. plenty of foot room, for even the biggest of passengers. the sheer power of the engine is well rounded, just to tap on the gas is enough to feel the car come to life. with adding a cold air intake it just goads to drive harder over 4000 rpms. its not hard to bring this car into to triple digits speeds without hardly realizing it. The Suspension is truely responsive stock. no doubt you can attack any corner with having minimal body roll. it may not be the fastest down the straight away but when it comes to cornering, this car will have them beat. styling for this car is one to truely stand out. no joke to get heads turning as i drive along in my Z. the aerodynamics of this car very much so take away that wind pushing you along the road, you actually feel how you are cutting through the air, a sheer sense you own the road. as for gas mileage what can you expect from a sports car. im certainly happy with what i get. i run premium quality gasoline through this car only. in town i seem to average 14-16 mpg and 24 once out on the open road. not bad for stock standards. im sure with a few minor tweeks and addons i would be able to inprove this. now im no mechanic bu i certainly know my way around an engine bay, but compared to many newer cars where they have just as much electronics running the engine as they do mechanics. this one is certainly much easier to work around. engine is quite compact and easy to see whats going on. this car is fun to drive. very comfortable as a daily driver, yet sporty enough to feel like you are in control of the road. if you ever get a chance, take a test drive, see what you are missing. even if you get a chance to just cruise along in one. definately one car to check out.

2005 Nissan 350Z Performance Review
Speed, manueveribility, affordable
limited parts
350z — It's actually my dad's car but anyways... The car is abosolutely fantastic on acceleration as a 6 speed, you really get a good drive out of this car. The car is topped out from the dealership so it has all the performance body parts. It sold for about $45k which is decently priced. Absolutely love this car, took it on prom and it got countless looks all day/night.

What isn't awesome about this car! It's fast, glued to the road, eye-catching, affordable, and reliable!
The rear crossbar eats up a lot of otherwise usable room in the hatchback cargo area.
A Great Driving Machine — This car has been great to drive and very reliable. I have driven it for 5 years without any issues. It corners like no other car I've ever driven and accelerates very quickly. It's really a great valued sports car.
Primary Use: Commuting to work

This Poll:
All Polls:
It is structured and organised, but I'm not sure if it is to the same degree as written language.
I reckon that it is, mind you, it depends from who is spoken by:-) for example, Cicero's spoken style was one of the most organized and structured ever, and which is copied and imitated until today.
He means ordinary speech, as well. He suggests that spoken English always has its own and complex grammar, quite distinct from that of written language. ;-)
Yes, it is true spoken languages very Potentials
Even in spoken language we don't use ponctuation that is considered to show "well structured" sentence but spoken language is"well structured" by the use of e.g. intonation that renders much impact to the hearer. Imagine if people miss-tune an utterance, the impact will be bigger to the hearer than miss-ponctuate to reader as found in written language. Don't forget that we do arrange primarily our utterances and fit it to such context (incl. aspect of politeness) before expressing it.
I honestly am confused by this question.
