Last week, after Rep. Geoff Davis (R-KY) suddenly announced he will not seek re-election to his congressional seat, LEO Weekly was the first to speculate that Lewis County Judge Executive Thomas Massie would be a formidable Tea Party candidate to run for that seat.
Other media outlets later confirmed that his name is being tossed around as a serious contender. LEO also mentioned Alecia Webb-Edgington as a possible strong candidate from the establishment wing of the Republican Party, and this weekend, she confirmed to the Enquirer that she will indeed run.
This morning, LEO Weekly spoke with Massie, who said he has not made a final decision but is giving serious consideration to running.
He said Tea Party leaders have encouraged him to run, and he has also received positive feedback from possible donors. His main issue in determining whether to run is that he wants to ensure he is holding up his commitment to the people of Lewis County who elected him last November.
The following is a run down of our conversation with Massie, during which he discusses 1) his thought process behind the decision, 2) who he is receiving encouragement from, 3) his views on social issues, 4) his foreign policy views, 5) fundraising, and 6) the possible field of candidates.
Massie: As I said when we spoke last time (October), if Geoff Davis would have run, he would have won every time he ran until he retired, so this took everybody by surprise. When his press release went out, my phone started ringing off the hook. It was basically all of the Tea Party folks that I know (encouraging me to get in). And a lot of Rand Paul's ground team here in Kentucky called as well.
So it's a big decision, and the biggest decision for me is figuring out how to keep the commitment I have to my county. And that was my major hang up all weekend, but I kind of had a breakthrough last night and that's what I'm working on today. I'm trying to study how my replacement would happen if I were to run, and if I were to win the primary. Before I say much I need to study our constitution and KRS a little more.
LEO: Does being a congressman interest you?
Massie: It's kind of like my job here as county judge executive, it's something that needs to be done. And I think we've got a crisis in Washington D.C. I think we could look like Greece in another two years, maybe four, if we don't do something up there. And I'd be willing to fight that fight, too. It's not something I ever anticipated doing this early. Even when I spoke to you before, it was something that figured, well, maybe in 10 years.
LEO: I've never heard you speak about social issues before? What's you position on issues like abortion and gay rights?
Massie: Let's see, what does Gatewood say. Everybody's precious, but nobody's special.
I think where you'll find a distinction between me and possibly the party line sometimes is I'm not a big fan of the pat downs at the airports. I'm not a fan of indefinite detention for American citizens taken on American soil. These are the issues that I might be differentiated from some of the other names that are being thrown out there, on civil liberties.
LEO What about abortion?
Massie: I am staunchly pro-life.
LEO: What about gay rights? Would you be for civil unions?
Massie: On this one I kind of take the Rand Paul/Ron Paul view of things, that this should be left up to the states. It's a state issue. And the federal government really shouldn't get involved in that.
LEO: So you wouldn't be for a federal marriage amendment that outlaws gay marriage in all states?
Massie: No, I don't think the federal government should be involved in marriage.
LEO: I haven't heard any of your foreign policy views. Do you follow in the line of Ron and Rand Paul?
Massie: I'm probably closer to Rand than Ron. But the reality is, we're going to have to reduce foreign aid. We just can't afford it.
LEO: Do you think we should withdraw from Afghanistan?
Massie: Since I haven't decided that I'm going to run yet, I'd rather not put my platform out there. But I think you get a feel for where I am on a lot of this stuff. I don't think we can afford to borrow money from China and give it to foreign countries.
LEO: What are the odds of you running for office right now?
Massie: My biggest issue right now is keeping the commitment to the county. I have to solve this before I can consider running for Congress. I am not a political opportunist.
As I said at the Scott County event you were at, I think I used the analogy there that I'm just kind of a dog that chased the bus and somehow ended up on it. And I never really intended to be on the bus, but it still feels odd to walk up to the courthouse and put the key into the door and open up the courthouse. Two years ago I was walking into the office and complaining to the guy on the other side of the desk.
Another factor is to see who else is talking about running. If somebody steps up to the plate that represents the platform that I think our country needs to get back on track fiscally, then perhaps I could support them.
LEO: Is Alecia Webb-Edgington someone who represents that platform?
Massie: No comment.
Massie: But suffice it to say, I had phone calls all weekend, and they're going to be going through the day. And I'm going to be making trips this week and talking to folks.
One thing I did do this weekend is test the waters from a fundraising standpoint. Because in my own judge's race, it cost about $20,000 and I just self-funded the whole thing. Even though I was offered money, I though wouldn't it be different and nice if somebody could get in office just once without taking a dime of money and not owe anybody anything but their hard work? And that was my approach in the judge's race. I don't have that luxury if I decide to run for U.S. Congress. This is a primary that will probably take half a million dollars. So this weekend, just to kind of test the waters, I made some phone calls. Nobody sent me any checks, no money changed hands, but I just wanted to test the waters and see what I could get in terms of pledges, if you will, how much money I could touch. And out of about the first 12 phone calls I got 10 folks who would go all in, which is $2,500 a piece. And that was very encouraging. And I mad a few phone calls to folks in my network that extends out of the state, and they're excited about it as well. Unlike the statewide elections we just had, you can and will have to raise money from all over the country. I satisfied myself that that money will be there if I decide to pull the trigger.
LEO: There are rumors out there that you are extremely wealthy and would be able to self-fund this race. Is that true?
Massie: Rumors of my wealth are vastly exaggerated. I traded most of my federal reserve notes for land when I came back to Kentucky. I thought it was a better trade to have trees than dollar bills. I don't know, I'd probably be willing to cut 200 acres of timber (joking).
This is a race where you have to use other people's money, but will I put my own skin in the game? I sure will.
(Massie also noted that he was able to raise $32 in venture capital for the business he ran in Massachusettes, Sensable Technologies.)
LEO: Your wife hasn't vetoed you running?
Massie: She has not vetoed it, and she's actually very supportive. I've heard there's three things you don't do if you want to keep your marriage. You don't start a company together, you don't build a house together, and you don't run for office. We've done all three of those and we're still together. So she she's super strong.
LEO: (Reference to his odds if he is the lone Tea Party candidate against Webb-Edgington, as opposed to many Tea Party candiates in the primary splitting their vote and giving Webb-Edgington a better chance to win)
Massie: I don't think we'll let that happen, the Tea Party. Even though it's kind of grassroots, and a movement more than a party like the Republican Party, it's a bunch of individuals is what it is. There are still folks within the movement that are thought leaders, and I think we can probably get together and decide on a candidate. And I've been making those phone calls all weekend.
So there you go. If I had to guess, I'd say he's running, and will receive widespread statewide Tea Party support. If he is the lone Tea Party candidate, we'd venture to guess that he will be the favorite against Webb-Edgington. I wasn't sure if he was one of those libertarians whose freedom extended to a woman's uterus, but he's not, so this won't be an issue for him in the virulently anti-choice 4th District primary. the biggest question mark at this point is how many Tea Party candidates get in. If people like Boone County Clerk Kenny Brown get in, he would certainly be able to pull in a large amount of votes in that county, just as other county-wide Tea Party leaders would be able to. If they manage to split up the vote, Webb-Edgington might manage to win easily.
This could get interesting, and it might set the stage for yet another Tea Party vs. KY GOP establishment rumble. And there would certainly be more drama (and democracy) if a Democrat gets in the race, too. According to the Campbell County Democrats, they will:
"4th District Democrats will field a strong Congressional Candidate to face who ever the opposition nominates. Governor Beshear's performance last month has energized Democrats throughout Kentucky. Democrats believe that the current crop of Republican Presidential candidates will not aid a Republican candidate in a race for an open set due to the current Republican front runners–Romney and Gingrich being extreme flip-floppers on the issues dear to the hearts of Kentuckians. Both Romney and Gingrich have at one time sided with President Obama on many issues of the day."
As we first reported Thursday, most of the buzz centers around Nathan Smith, who would be a formidable candidate, but still probably an underdog in this conservative district.
Stay tuned…

The Specialty Pharmacy Association of America (SPAARx) is launching a national advocacy initiative to clarify the differences between specialty pharmacy and compounding.
Retail News Breaks
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – The Specialty Pharmacy Association of America (SPAARx) is launching a national advocacy initiative to clarify the differences between specialty pharmacy and compounding.
SPAARx said Tuesday that the effort — focused on lawmakers, the Food and Drug Administration and the public — comes amid pending federal and state legislation and regulation related to compounding.
According to the association, media reports in recent weeks — including articles by The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe and The Washington Post — have used the terms "specialty pharmacy" and "compounding" interchangeably. The group said such a characterization "is inaccurate, misleading to the public and to legislators and regulators as they consider actions that could affect pharmacies that create compounded drugs, but specialty pharmacies as well."
In response, SPAARx is sending a letter to House and Senate committees, the FDA commissioner and state legislators that spells out the differences between specialty pharmacy and compounding.
The association said it supports the accreditation of compounding pharmacies by nationally recognized agencies with the necessary expertise to assess and confirm compliance with the highest standards for quality compounding.
In addition, SPAARx noted that it wants to inform the public that services provided by compounding pharmacies much different than services provided by specialty pharmacies.
"SPAARx believes that specialty pharmacy and the art and science of extemporaneous compounding are dissimilar," Bill Sullivan, interim executive director of SPAARx, said in a statement.
"Specialty pharmacies dispense FDA-approved and commercially available medications requiring patient-specific prescriptions. By comparison, compounding-only pharmacies prepare medications from FDA-approved chemical ingredients and commercially available medications which may not require a patient-specific prescription at the time of formulation," Sullivan explained. "New laws and/or regulations should take into account these significant dissimilarities and focus such actions on compounding as appropriate."
SPAARx added that earlier this year it endorsed a comprehensive definition of specialty pharmacy, which made no mention of compounding.

Next: Customizing W3, Previous: Web Searches, Up: Browsing the Web
Some web sites have an RDF Site Summary (RSS). RSS is a format for summarizing headlines from news related sites (such as BBC or CNN). But basically anything list-like can be presented as an RSS feed: weblogs, changelogs or recent changes to a wiki (e.g., http://cliki.net/site/recent-changes).
RSS has a quite regular and nice interface, and it's possible to get the information Gnus needs to keep groups updated.
Note: you had better use Emacs which supports the utf-8
system because RSS uses UTF-8 for encoding non-ASCII
text by default. It is also used by default for non-ASCII
group names.
Use G R from the group buffer to subscribe to a feed—you will be prompted for the location, the title and the description of the feed. The title, which allows any characters, will be used for the group name and the name of the group data file. The description can be omitted.
An easy way to get started with nnrss
is to say something like
the following in the group buffer: B nnrss RET RET y, then
subscribe to groups.
The nnrss
back end saves the group data file in
(see below) for each nnrss
group. File
names containing non-ASCII characters will be encoded by the
coding system specified with the nnmail-pathname-coding-system
variable or other. Also See Non-ASCII Group Names, for more
The nnrss
back end generates 'multipart/alternative'
MIME articles in which each contains a 'text/plain' part
and a 'text/html' part.
You can also use the following commands to import and export your subscriptions from a file in OPML format (Outline Processor Markup Language).
The following nnrss
variables can be altered:
stores its files. The default is
data files. The default is the value of
(which defaults to emacs-mule
in Emacs or escape-quoted
in XEmacs).
to t
, nnrss
will read
the feeds from local files in nnrss-directory
. You can use
the command nnrss-generate-download-script
to generate a
download script using wget.
The following code may be helpful, if you want to show the description in the summary buffer.
(add-to-list 'nnmail-extra-headers nnrss-description-field) (setq gnus-summary-line-format "%U%R%z%I%(%[%4L: %-15,15f%]%) %s%uX\n") (defun gnus-user-format-function-X (header) (let ((descr (assq nnrss-description-field (mail-header-extra header)))) (if descr (concat "\n\t" (cdr descr)) "")))
The following code may be useful to open an nnrss url directly from the summary buffer.
(require 'browse-url) (defun browse-nnrss-url (arg) (interactive "p") (let ((url (assq nnrss-url-field (mail-header-extra (gnus-data-header (assq (gnus-summary-article-number) gnus-newsgroup-data)))))) (if url (progn (browse-url (cdr url)) (gnus-summary-mark-as-read-forward 1)) (gnus-summary-scroll-up arg)))) (eval-after-load "gnus" #'(define-key gnus-summary-mode-map (kbd "<RET>") 'browse-nnrss-url)) (add-to-list 'nnmail-extra-headers nnrss-url-field)
Even if you have added 'text/html' to the
variable (see Display Customization) since you don't want to see HTML parts, it might be
more useful especially in nnrss
groups to display
'text/html' parts. Here's an example of setting
as a group parameter (see Group Parameters) in order to display 'text/html' parts only in
;; Set the default value ofmm-discouraged-alternatives
. (eval-after-load "gnus-sum" '(add-to-list 'gnus-newsgroup-variables '(mm-discouraged-alternatives . '("text/html" "image/.*")))) ;; Display 'text/html' parts innnrss
groups. (add-to-list 'gnus-parameters '("\\`nnrss:" (mm-discouraged-alternatives nil)))

Incorporating Stretching Into Your Everyday Routine: Q&A With Bobby Flay's Stretching Coach
by Joseph Erdos in Bobby Flay Fit, January 23, 2013
Bobby Flay manages to stay fit and healthy even with a busy lifestyle as a chef, and he's eager to share his healthy eating and fitness plan with fans in a seven-part Web series, Bobby Flay Fit.
In Episode 2 of Bobby Flay Fit, Harold L. Raschke-Robinson, Bobby's stretching coach, helps Bobby stretch, which is an important part of any exercise routine.
Healthy Eats caught up with Harold to talk more about stretching and how it can help you re-energize and cope with stress, whether you're an athlete or not.
Why should we stretch?
Harold L. Raschke-Robinson: It's the best way to get the stress out of our muscles. It doesn't matter if you've worked out or not. Stretching is beneficial at all times of the day — it puts energy back into our soul.
How many times a day should we stretch? What's the goal of stretching?
HLRR: I'd recommend stretching in the morning, at night, and during the course of the day when you feel it's necessary, for about 15 minutes each time if you can. It's great to start the day with a 15-minute stretch. It energizes the body and mind. After a day of work the body has accumulated a lot of stress. Stretching at night will help you sleep better.
The goals of stretching are to relieve pain, prevent injury, promote faster recovery and increase blood circulation. Any stretching routine is key to delaying the onset of muscle soreness.
Is it better to stretch before or after exercising, or even both?
HLRR: That's based on what type of workout you will be doing. I recommend stretching before an intense workout to wake up the muscles for what is to come. Stretching after any type of workout is a must to reduce the buildup of lactic acid, which causes muscle soreness.
What's the easiest, simplest stretch for a beginner to do?
HLRR: The first stretch that I recommend is a standing quad stretch. Face a wall placing your right hand on the wall for support, then bend your left knee bringing your heel to your butt, then reach back with your left hand and grab the ankle. Keep your body upright with your shoulders squared. You will feel the stretch in your left front quad muscle. Breath and count slowly to 15 seconds, then switch legs. Do three repetitions per leg.
The second stretch that I would recommend is called a seated leg extension stretch. Sit up tall in a chair. While the left foot stays on the ground, lift and extend the right leg until it is parallel with the ground. Hold the leg up 15 to 30 seconds, then release and repeat three times for each leg.
What's the best stretch to relieve stress at work?
HLRR: While sitting in a chair you want to reach for the sky as far up as you can. This is going to stretch your chest, back and arm muscles, which hold most of the stress and tension from doing office work. I would say to do this exercise two to three times a day, especially when you have been sitting for a long time working at your desk.
Besides stretching, what's another way to recover after a workout?
HLRR: To recover your tired muscles, it helps to schedule a sports massage or to sit in a hot-water bath. This helps to increase blood circulation, which prevents the buildup of lactic acid.
The stretches that you did with Bobby seemed very specialized. What were they?
HLRR: Those were active isolation stretches. They are best when done with a trainer or through a group exercise class where someone can lead you through the stretches.

Latest tests clear bore water near Cougar plant
PUBLISHED: 03 Aug 2010 08:36:31 | UPDATED: 03 Aug 2010 08:36:31PRINT EDITION: 03 Aug 2010
New tests have cleared bore water near a Queensland underground gas project of dangerous levels of cancer-causing chemicals.
But more tests will be needed before residents around the Cougar Energy plant near Kingaroy, northwest of Brisbane, are allowed to resume use of bore water.
Cougar was forced to shut down its pilot project last month after the Queensland government learnt traces of benzene and toluene had been found in ground water at the site and a neighbouring property.
The Department of Environment and Resource Management says the latest underground water quality tests found levels of the two substances remain within Australian drinking water guidelines.
Director-General John Bradley said the tests, carried out this week on 10 bores in and around the underground coal gasification plant, were consistently within the safe range.
"Seven of the sample sites within a 2km radius of the plant recorded no detectable levels of benzene or toluene," Mr Bradley said.
"A minute trace of toluene, just above detection levels, was detected in one bore outside the plant.
"The tests found a trace of benzene in one bore on the Cougar Energy plant site which was within the Australian drinking water guideline.
"There was an extremely low level of toluene - just above detection levels - in the second bore on the Cougar site."
Mr Bradley said the latest samples were also tested for metals such as arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium, chromium and nickel, which occur naturally in groundwaters.
"The concentrations from bores on private properties are consistent with background results measured against samples analysed prior to the pilot trial burn of Cougar Energy in March 2010," he said.
A further two rounds of sampling have been conducted and the results will be published as soon as they are available.
"We are waiting for a final set of testing results which take longer to analyse in the laboratories and if they indicate no concerns for water quality, we expect to be able to advise land holders that they can return to using bores in that 2km radius," Mr Bradley said.

Budget Living: Dinner at Costco
Posted By Jessica Fisher On September 12, 2008 @ 11:48 am In Budget Living | 6 Comments
Costco is my friend. I have always loved it.
Where else can I find gourmet cheeses and breads for cheap? Where else can my kids get a free thrill by spotting and tasting all the samples available? Where else can I find the least expensive milk in town that also happens to be hormone-free?
Where else can we feed our family of 8 to the gills for super cheap?
First, I must say, we just like the place. In fact, even back in the days when we spent more money for the two of us to eat than we do for 8 of us today, we would make a special trip to Costco — just for the hotdogs! They're just plain, good eatin'.
And super cheap.
Yep, a buck fifty will buy you a large kosher hotdog and a drink. What a bargain! The pizza is our favorite in KC – only $1.99 per very large slice — $10.70 (after tax) for a whole pizza.
We are, for sure, Costco fans. I've even got their phone numbers programmed into my cell phone. And we still head there just for a meal at the food court.
If you have a membership and haven't yet tried the food, I highly recommend it.

text: | Baumgartner's new sportJune 11, 2012 - Ron DeuterOlympian and X-Games gold medalist Nick Baumgartner of Iron River spoke at last week's Hometowne Lumber Athlete of the Year banquet. What a remarkable, inspirational and humble individual. Most folks around here know Nick for his snowboardcross fame. And he plans to try for a second Olympics in 2014. But as Nick mentioned in his remarks the other night, he knows the end is near for him in snowboardcross. It's a young man's game, and he's entering his 30s. During his speech at the banquet, Nick told the kids in the audience the importance of setting goals and doing whatever it takes to reach them. No goal is too big if you're willing and able to put forth the effort to accomplish the task. With the end nearing to compete among the elite snowboardcross athletes of the world, Nick has started to shift his focus to another adrenaline-pumping activity. Off-road truck racing. He started last summer in the Stock Truck class of the Traxxas TORC Series and won Rookie of the Year. This summer he picked up a sponsored ride in the Pro Light class — where Felch's Chad Hord ruled until his jump a season or two ago to the Pro 2WD, where he currently leads the points. It goes without saying that a guy who can dream of making the Olympics and then actually go out and do it, knows a thing or two about setting and accomplishing goals. Nick has now set a goal of becoming one of the best off-road truck racers. And I'd be willing to bet few are working as hard as he is to improve and hone his skills. He told the Hometowne Banquet crowd about the hours upon hours of film he studies, the practice runs and everything else he does to constantly improve and get better. If you know anything about Nick, you know he's not going to rest until he's conquered this sport. It's going to be fun to watch. The off-road trucks make two stops at Crandon this year, the first this weekend. Will it include Bamgartner's first Pro Light victory? | in: News, Blogs & Events Web |

Buckwheat Family - Polygonaceae
R. Rhaponicum L. - Rhubarb - Edible stalks in spring and summer, though the leaves are considered poisonous.
Rheum palmatum is commonly known as Chinese rhubarb, and Rheum rhabarbarum (also known as R. rhaponticum) is commonly referred to as wild rhubarb in the U.S. Both plants belong to the family Polygonaceae. Rhubarb has very broad leaves and elongated, often reddish, petioles (leaf stalks).
The leaf stalks of rhubarb are edible,(See: Rhubarb Recipes) though the leaf blades are very toxic. The roots and rhizomes of R. palmatum and the roots of R. rhabarbarum are used in medicinal treatments. R. palmatum is considered a stronger medicinal than R. rhabarbarum. The most common medicinal use of these plants is as a laxative in humans.
Edible Uses
See Rhubarb Recipes . One of the few foods available in the early spring, and loaded with vitamin C and nice tart flavor. Main uses are in Rhubarb Bread, and added to jams. One example: Rhubarb/Rasberry Jam, which is a great combination of sweet and tart.
The leaf blades of R. rhabarbarum are very toxic. They contain high levels of oxalic acid which can interact with blood calcium. Symptoms of oxalate poisoning in humans include: nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, anuria, and hemorrhages. In ruminants (such as cows), oxalic acid can be degraded by rumen bacteria. The tolerance of ruminants to oxalate can be increased by gradually increasing the amount of oxalate in the diet. In general, however, oxalate is considered toxic to ruminants.
The active compounds (those that provide the laxative effect) in these plants also can cause side effects. Chronic consumption of anthranoid derivatives can turn urine a yellow or red color. Chronic use may also cause liver damage. During normal (non-chronic) use, anthranoid derivative laxatives cause increased losses of body water and electrolytes. Potassium loss may be responsible for symptoms such as a decrease in muscle activity and cardiac arrhythmia. There is some indication that chronic use of anthranoid derivative laxatives could be carcinogenic.
Uses and Efficacy
While Rheum spp. have definite laxative properties when used to treat human ailments, no scientific studies could be found proving its effectiveness in the treatment of livestock. In livestock, it is used as a treatment for diarrhea, chronic constipation, gastritis, anemia, nervousness, and lack of appetite. According to one source, the dose for livestock should be very small (1-2 roots, finely sliced). Also, some medicinal plant sources for humans and livestock recommend purchasing the powdered root versus trying to grow the plant and prepare the treatment at home.

Draper - There's no hospital attached to the new Lone Peak Emergency Center, but the freestanding emergency room is equipped to handle any trauma, from mass casualties to a fallen hiker.
Out back are ambulance bays and a helipad. There's an on-site imaging center and laboratory, 10 trauma suites, including one for psychiatric patients -- and, for now, an empty waiting room.
"For us, it's like having 10 more beds," said Julie Fox, an emergency physician who will run the satellite ER for St. Mark's Hospital in Salt Lake City and its parent, MountainStar hospital chain. "But for the people in and around Draper, it means no longer having to drive 12 miles for emergency care."
Located off State Street and 11800 South, the Lone Peak Emergency Center opened on Tuesday and will function around the clock as part of St. Mark's. It is Utah's only standalone emergency department, a low-overhead business model popular in regions of the country where shrinking populations have led to hospital closures.
And it's part of a trend across the valley to boost the number of patients seen in emergency rooms, despite a push by public health officials to steer people to primary care facilities to reduce health care costs.
An emergency room is the most expensive place to provide treatment. It's also where hospitals can lose money. Roughly half of the patients who need help paying their bills -- a hospital's charity care and bad debt cases -- come through the emergency department.
But emergency rooms lure new patients, and with steady growth predicted for the south valley, MountainStar figured a satellite ER was a "right-sized" move.
"This is about delivering quality care to a region that needs it. As we looked into this we asked, 'What's the right distance for someone to drive to deliver a baby?'" said Mark Meadows, the hospital chain's business strategist. "It's not a loss leader. If we were going to lose money on this, we wouldn't be here."
Other hospitals -- Iasis Healthcare's Salt Lake Regional, Jordan Valley, Davis and Pioneer Valley -- have started advertising ER wait times on websites.
Salt Lake Regional Medical Center, in Salt Lake City, recently renovated its emergency department, adding five patient rooms.
"We had a small, cramped, old emergency room. Volume was low," said Salt Lake Regional emergency room physician Mark Flammer, who is board chairman of a group of ER physicians contracted to work in Iasis hospitals. "The thought was, let's improve the whole atmosphere of the place. People will be more inclined to come there because it's improved."
The hospital also boosted efficiency, with staff on a daily basis assessing the average amount of door-to-doctor time, he said.
Flammer noted the emergency room can be the entrance to ongoing care, with patients referred to doctors who practice at the hospital.
Plus, "It's also a matter of trying to attract people with true emergencies -- ones that are best seen in the [emergency department] because of the prompt evaluation and treatment that we can give," he wrote in an e-mail.
If emergency rooms are the bait, then the best fishing looks to be in the south valley. Intermountain Healthcare recently opened a hospital in Riverton, with Primary Children's Medical Center building its first inpatient satellite at that hospital. The hospital chain also expanded Alta View's emergency room in 2009.
And the University of Utah expects to start construction in July on a 208,000-square-foot health center in South Jordan near Daybreak that will include a free-standing emergency department.
The goal is to be where patients live, said Rob Lloyd, executive director for ambulatory services and community clinics for University of Utah Health Care. He expects the center to draw significant new business, "just because the population is growing so much out there."
The new Lone Peak Emergency Center will be one of only two serving south valley populations east of I-15, say MountainStar executives who have been monitoring growth there for three years.
First responders say the satellite will help them react quicker to 911 calls and return to the field.
"One of the things we always look to improve is the time it takes to transport a patient to the healing hands of a doctor. Those minutes save lives," said Capt. Jason Nicholl, a paramedic with the Salt Lake County Fire Department. Lone Peak patients who require surgery or hospitalization will need to be stabilized and transported elsewhere. But Fox predicts that will be "only 10 percent of our patients."
The satellite also shares space with the Lone Peak Medical Office Building. And come June, patients will find primary care doctors and specialists there.

ZZ Top....
I could add so many more Greg, I'll sneak them in later when you're not paying attention.
If you include Prog...then you must include YES and Genesis...
Just look ay YES' lineup....collectively, I would give them 1st prize...Wakeman tops the keys world...Howe (and Rabin are wicked)...and then there's Squire...Bruford, etc, etc, etc....some of the best players known to man.
Definitely Rush!
Maiden, yup!
(if you include ALL bands, then Bela Fleck better be on the list too, those guys are freaks of nature.
Marillion has some amazing players too.
Last edited by Muzoid; 04-16-2009 at 09:33 PM.
I like ZZ Top, probably the best three piece band I have seen live in concert, and Billy Gibbons is a very talented guitarist, Dusty Hill plays good funky bass lines, and Frank Beard keeps everything together...and I don't see Your list up yet buddy...
(early) Genesis
and YES (just pick a different lineup - hahaha)
Oh, and I am interested in you showing me the funky bass lines you speak of...most of his lines are 16+ bars of the same note in 8th notes....I can't say I've heard any lines that took me by surprize, please lead me to one.
Last edited by Muzoid; 04-16-2009 at 09:42 PM.
I was going to add King Crimson but after the first two years it would be impossible to follow the line-up...lol.
Nice list, I might put Van Halen's original line-up from 77-80 ahead of Maiden, but that's just being fussy...
Saw two great concerts in '77 and '79 and Van Halen was knocking the walls down. Some of the best raw energy in a concert I have ever experienced. Agreed about David Lee, but he does carry a concert like a true professional showman, and has a lot of fun which is contagious.
Absolutely nothing at all....in fact, for collective talent, albeit the play stuff that any beginner guitarist can whip out, they sure cracked the simplicity code.....That's what I love about them. They are one of my all time faves....and I use them for ALL my gtr students.....they can pick it up fast, and it is fun as hell to play. I have listened to Hysteria, more than any album ever (except Moving Pictures - Rush) and I myself have used there gtr playing as a learning tool for my own playing.....I love, love love 'em....but alas, this isn't their thread - hahaha
But I think the issue in this thread is collective talent, and it would be silly to compare the talent of Geddy or Squire to Def's bassist, it's simply not a fair fight.
I luv ya Venom, but Paramore, really? Out of all the collectively talented band, these guys make your list?......may I ask why?
If someone says FOB, I'm gonna hurl.
I find Hayley Williams talented and Influential. imo, she inspires me.
I was gonna add Evanescence but they arnt rock.
She is great, I love her.....but I find that none of the musicians stand out in any way, they are good at what they do, but I wouldn't compare their bassist to Geddy, or Guitarist to Eddie, that's for sure.
Just keeping up with the topic, of "Collectively Talented".....IMO any band member of Paramore (minus the singer) could be replaced, and you would barely notice, but if you try to replace (let's say) Chris Squire in YES, there would be a massive difference.
Again JMO.

The present study was undertaken to investigate in a randomized controlled trial the effects of chronic (10 weeks, 4 h per day, 7 days per week) low-frequency (15 Hz) stimulation (CLFS) of the knee extensor and hamstring muscles of both legs in healthy volunteers via surface electrodes. A control group (n=10) underwent the same treatment (sham stimulation) as the CLFS-treated group (n=10), except that stimulation intensity was kept at a level which did not evoke contractions. Biopsy samples were taken before the onset and after cessation of stimulation from the right vastus lateralis muscle of all subjects. The biopsy samples were analyzed for changes in myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoforms and activities of citrate synthase (CS) and glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) as markers of aerobic-oxidative and anaerobic pathways of energy metabolism, respectively. In addition, functional properties, i.e., oxygen consumption (V̇O2) and work capacity, were assessed. Sham stimulation did not affect the functional properties and had no detectable effect on MHC isoform and enzyme activity patterns. Conversely, CLFS induced changes in the MHC isoform pattern in the fast-to-slow direction with a ~20% decrease in the relative concentration of MHCIId/x (from 28% to 22%) and a ~10% increase in the relative concentration of MHCI (from 30% to 34%). In addition, CLFS led to a ~9% increase in the activity of CS concomitant with a ~7% decrease in the activity of GAPDH. This increase in aerobic-oxidative capacity was accompanied by improved work capacity and V̇O2 at the anaerobic threshold by 26% and 20%, respectively.

"The Unknowns" is a documentary film created by Army Veterans Neal Schrodetzki and Ethan Morse. Both were stationed at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery, and bring a unique perspective to the rigorous and intricate training process that soldiers must endure to be stationed there.
The film covers the entire training cycle of the Tomb Guard, and will answer the questions that millions of soldiers and civilians alike have wondered about this elite military post. The goal of the film is to provide a clear and concise look at the real lives of the soldiers that protect our nations most honorable memorial. This Independent documentary was only made possible by the 149 people who contributed to our successful KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN. With their support we raised $17,412 plus we secured over $35,000 in loaned equipment and an incredible crew that worked tirelessly for little to no pay. Currently, we are in post production and then we will enter "The Unknowns" into film festivals in 2014. If you are interested in supporting this film check out our fundraising page. (coming soon) Thank you very much for your interest and support. |

A few more launches are expected in 2013, but that seems far away for the requirement. Was reluctant to look at android based phones, though perhaps there isn't much choice, so making up my mind to look at android phone. Hopefully android will at least come close enough to Linux environment. Kind of zeroed on a few models of Samsung - Galaxy Ace / S / Y etc and might choose one of them. Face a few questions, to which I don't find answers from average sales guys or demo devices: 1. How easy/difficult it is to use xterm on such phones. Well, it seems to be an installable app on android, though don't know how usable it is with virtual keyboard occupying screen area. I occasionally use Xterm on N900, but it has a keyboard that can be pulled out which makes it relatively easy to use Xterm. 2. Do I get crontab on android which I can configure using classical text specification? (and I am assuming you get vi editor.) 3. Can I do NFS/sshfs mounts to/from android phone? 4. List can be long. So cutting it short with just one more - how similar / different is system administration on Android against Linux - particularly is there room for terminal based ways to do administration? Would appreciate any other comparison points one can share. I do not know whether all these expectations are out of fashion in mobile world, though N900 has really shown what a Linux savvy user would want. Only problem with N900 is its form factor. Hence the search for alternatives. Mayuresh.

Red, White, and Blue

Packed for the Poconos
by Nancy M. Herbst, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
I'm writing to share my experience with being the owner of my third Subaru. I started with a Legacy, then a 2004 Legacy Outback Sedan, and currently a 2010 Outback. The first two Subaru vehicles had over 180,000 miles, and my current one has 75,000 with lots of life left in it.
Several years ago, when I owned the Outback Sedan, I was working as a home health physical therapist. I was at a patient's home in a rural area. He had one lane that led to his property.
During my visit, a windstorm blew down a tree across the lane, which blocked the only exit. Since it would be hours until the tree could be cleared away, he directed me across the cornfields to the main road. The Subaru had no problem.
I've enclosed a picture of myself with four friends who grew up on the same street over 60 years ago. For the past 12 years, we have traveled to a lake house in the Pennsylvania Poconos.
The amazing thing is that five women can pack for four days in the Outback. We also have ample room for a comfortable three-hour drive.
I LOVE my Subaru and plan to always be a Subaru owner.
You're on Your Own
by Barbara Escher, Bozeman, Montana
I am a 62-year-old ice climber. I started climbing at age 50.
The photo is in the Ghost Valley, approximately one-and-a-half hours from Calgary, Canada. As the guidebook says, "You're on your own, pal." We "4-wheeled" through rivers, snow, boulders, and ice.
My guide commented on how impressed he was with my Forester, especially that we never scraped the undercarriage.

Family Time

In August, we had a family get-together in Sandpoint, Idaho, including four generations, 19 people, and six Subaru vehicles. (My wife, Molly, and I own the two silver Foresters.)
There were two from Colorado, two from Idaho, and two from Washington. The oldest was a 1997, the newest a 2012.
We kept them busy pulling watercraft to the lake and bikes to the trails.

Cricket Rules and Regulations 2010
Rules and Regulations:
It will be a 9-a-side cricket tournament, with at least 2 girls (women) per team

However, all 9 players will field during both parts (A+B). Scores from both A and B added together will be the final score of the innings.
- Girls are allowed to bowl underarm and from a shorter pitch length. Guys will have a 22 yard pitch with overarm bowling.
- All games will be played with heavy tennis ball
- Each game will be officiated by Satrang appointed umpires and will hold the right to make a final decision in case of conflict and any disputes will be resolved by the umpires in consultation with the Tournament Organizing Committee.
- Satrang will provide equipment (bats, balls, and stumps), officials, and refreshments (Gatorade).
- Depending upon the response we can either have a round-robin or group games followed by playoffs- semi-finals and finals. Each game should take approx. 1.5 hours to complete (both innings).
- Each player can represent only one team during the tournament (players are not allowed to be traded either).
- Satrang is NOT liable in the event of any injuries sustained during the course of the tournament.

- Entry fees is free for SATRANG members and $5 for non-members. This tournament is open to everyone. In case you cannot form teams please submit your name and we will try to put you in a team, though it is not guaranteed.
General Rules:

- In case of a 2-way tie:
- If two teams have played with each other, the winner goes to the next round
- If two teams have not played with each other, team with higher run rate will go to next round. Note that this is different from net run rate. By considering just the total run rate, we can reduce the impact of the other teams (particularly the batting power of other teams) while evaluating the team performance.
- For a 3 way tie, a run rate will determine which team moves to the next round.
- Area of play will be in front of the wicket (i.e. no runs behind the playing square on either sides)
- Keeper is compulsory
- TWO bowler can bowl a maximum of 2 overs each.

- Batsman can only be run out on a No ball (no stumping).
- No LBWs and no leg byes. Ball hit to any part of the body except wrist will be considered as leg byes. No run-out will be given, if the umpire declares it as leg byes. Stumping will still be allowed
- An inning will end when all batsmen are dismissed. Last man will bat with a runner at the other end and will switch in the case of odd runs are being made.
- Waist high full-toss ball or a bouncer above shoulder height will be considered as a no ball. Note that in these cases the batsmen should be in the crease.

- Umpires decision in all the matters will be final.
- "All decisions made by the Satrang Tournament Organizing committee will be final"
- If a game is tied at the end of both the innings, then the team that lost lesser number of wickets will win.
- If the number of wickets lost is also the same, then the team that played less overs to score the runs will win.
- After this, a coin toss will determine the winner.

Ellis sees season end; La Crosse stays perfect
Published on -10/28/2012, 7:47 PM

E-Mail This Story
By The Hays Daily News
OAKLEY -- The Ellis High School football team's run of Class 2-1A playoff berths came to dramatic end Friday in Oakley.
After battling back from a 12-0 deficit to force overtime, the Railraoders fell short as Oakley's Key Keller scored from a yard out after Ellis had failed to score in OT.
The loss by the Railers ends a run of nine straight playoff berths and six consecutive district championships. Oberlin-Decatur Community takes the district's second playoff spot and will travel to Meade in the first round Friday. Oakley, the district champion, hosts Stanton County.
Oakley (8-1) took a 12-0 lead in the second quarter, but Ellis scored a TD in each of the third and fourth quarters, one a 53-yard run by quarterback Blake Hudson, the other a 4-yard pass from Hudson to Gage Younger with 9:24 left in regulation.
At Medicine Lodge, La Crosse capped its perfect regular season with a 56-8 win against Medicine Lodge to move to 9-0. The Leopards will host Ell-Saline in the first round of the 2-1A playoffs Friday.
Kip Keeley had 135 rushing yards, two rushing TDs, and a reception for a score for the Leopards. Sophomore quarterback Jack Garcia threw for 169 yards and four scores.

Berkeley animal shelter budget raises questions
Community supporters of Berkeley's municipal animal shelter have been raising alarm bells about the shelter's budget for the coming fiscal year — and their concerns about the city's lack of budgeting transparency are broadly shared.
The proposed budget for the fiscal year that starts in July is $1.69 million, which is comparable to what the shelter ultimately got in the fiscal year that ends this month, City Manager Christine Daniel told city officials by email May 27.
But shelter supporters say that amount has not been enough to cover operating costs, and fear the shelter may be forced to close one day a week or more as a result. They say the shelter has struggled to cover increased utility costs in its new, larger space, which has a sophisticated air filtration system to cut down on the spread of diseases. Supporters say, too, that services the city used to pay for, including a spay-and-neuter program for low-income residents as well as training for pit bull owners, now must be funded through community donations.
The budget has come before council and the public several times since May 20, and is expected to be approved next week.
According to city spokesman Matthai Chakko, a detailed budget that would show utility costs for the Dona Spring Municipal Animal Shelter is not available: "The budget doesn't have line items to that degree," he said via email. Chakko said animal shelter director Kate O'Connor was not available last week for an interview. He said the shelter is "fully funded," but did not respond to questions about whether the shelter might have to reduce its hours. (The facility is currently open seven days a week.)
The lack of transparency has been a bone of contention for shelter supporters, particularly those who worked to help build the new shelter and fund some of its services. … Continue reading »

Update: Unhappy ending for crow rescued in Berkeley
A city animal control officer rescued an injured crow Thursday afternoon after it got tangled in a piece of string and stuck in a tree 40 feet off the ground in West Berkeley.
Workers in an office building called the city Thursday at roughly 2:10 p.m. after noticing the bird struggling but unable to take flight, said John Kindle, an animal control officer for the city.
The Berkeley Fire Department responded to the scene, at 700 Heinz St., along with Kindle, to assess the situation.
When Kindle arrived, he used binoculars to take a closer look. He saw the crow high up in the tree with what appeared to be string tied to a branch and wrapped around one of its claws. … Continue reading »
Public art a casualty at Berkeley animal shelter
While most new structures built using city bonds are decorated with public art, Berkeley's new $12.4 million animal shelter is not. City staff skipped out on the municipally-mandated public art process during construction and the reasons why remain difficult to pin down.
Since the project's inception in 2002, shelter plans ran into a range of obstacles, from difficulty finding an appropriate site to a series of cost overruns. As a result, said Deputy City Manager William Rogers, the city decided not to set aside $142,500 of its budget for public art, despite a Berkeley ordinance that requires municipal projects to do just that.
Others familiar with the project said the decision not to include public art in the shelter was due to a failure to put the proper language in the bond measure that funded construction. Whether that was an oversight or an intentional decision to ensure flexibility in the project budget is unclear. … Continue reading »
Planting in the sky: Berkeley's secret rooftop gardens
There's a secret green side to Berkeley, one that is not visible from the sidewalk.
They are Berkeley's roof gardens — oases of calm amidst a city of concrete. Some were created to provide food, others to make buildings more energy-friendly. Whatever the reason, they remain mostly unseen.
Over the past few weeks, Berkeleyside has located several living roofs around Berkeley. Of course, journalists can't fly, so we likely did not find every rooftop garden. By contacting architects, squinting at Google Maps, and combing through past exposés on green living, we found four living roofs scattered around the city. If you know of any roofs that we missed, please let us know in the comments. … Continue reading »

Dog license fees to rise, other Berkeley Council decisions
Raised fees for a number of city services were agreed on Tuesday night by the City Council with relatively little debate and no public comments. Dog licenses will at least double: from $7.50 to $15 for a one-year altered dog licence and from $18 to $40 for a three-year altered dog license. Fees for animal adoptions from the city shelter are also going up.
Kate O'Connor, manager, Animal Care Services, said that her department estimated there were about 40,000 dogs in Berkeley. In FY12, 1,722 animal permits were issued (virtually all for dogs — she said only two cat licenses were issued). O'Connor's estimate was that 20-25% of Berkeley's dogs are licensed, which Councilmember Laurie Capitelli pointed out is probably an overestimate given the number of issued licenses. … Continue reading »
Pets dumped in Tilden cause problems, become dinner
The abandoned chickens appeared one afternoon in December, in the parking lot near Tilden Park's Little Farm. Nine of them, right next to the bus stop. Whoever dumped them had sprinkled feed on the ground, and apparently hoped the Little Farm would adopt them. Not so.
"It's as much as I can do to keep these animals clean, alive and fed," said the man known as Farmer Stanley, gesturing to the chickens, cows, sheep and pigs he has taken care of at the farm for more than a decade.
At least two of those abandoned chickens became dinner for the local wildlife, judging by the piles of feathers found on the ground, said park staff. They think – or at least hope – that some of the chickens were adopted, in response to an ad posted, because a bunch disappeared all at once.
The month before the chicken-drop, it was a white bunny, left in a cage at the same spot. Last summer there were five kittens. … Continue reading »
Photos: Berkeley's new animal shelter is officially open
This weekend saw the official opening of Berkeley's new animal shelter, the Dona Spring Municipal Animal Shelter.
It was 10 years ago that voters approved a $7.2 million bond to build a new home to care for abandoned and sick animals, the shelter cost $5 million more than the original budget, and it is in a smaller space than the city originally envisioned. (We published the full story on how the shelter came to be on Jan. 31.)
However, on Saturday, it was all about celebrating its arrival. Berkeleyside contributing photographer Nancy Rubin captured the flavor of the opening ceremony with these wonderful photos. See the full set on her Flickr gallery. … Continue reading »
After a decade, Berkeley celebrates a new animal shelter
More than 10 years after Berkeley voters approved a $7.2 million bond to build a new home to care for abandoned and sick animals, the Dona Spring Municipal Animal Shelter will hold its grand opening Saturday — costing $5 million more than the original budget and in a smaller space than city officials originally envisioned.
The shelter, which is projected to cost nearly $12.4 million when all is said and done, opened in November after more than a decade in development, as an appropriate site proved elusive, and the venue that ultimately was selected posed a range of challenges during design and construction. … Continue reading »
New Berkeley animal shelter is finally rising
Berkeley's long-awaited, much debated animal shelter is finally under construction on Bolivar Street in West Berkeley. It is scheduled to open in 2012, ten years after voters passed Measure I to sell bonds to finance the construction.
Free adoptions at Berkeley Animal Shelter this weekend
By Julia Musto
This Saturday and Sunday only, all adoptions at the city's Berkeley Animal Care Services shelter (BACS) will be free, as part of the organization's annual "Adoptathon" matchmaker.
Adoptions will be free to qualified adopters, and the shelter will receive $500 for every dog or cat adopted, courtesy of Maddie's Fund. (To qualify for a free adoption, people must have documentation proving home ownership, or a rental contract stating you can have pets.)
The shelter will also receive $1,000 for every adoption of a senior animal, or animal with a long-term medical condition.
This is the second year for the event and the second year BACS has participated, according to BACS coordinator Amelia Funghi. "The event is a vehicle for adopting homeless animals in Contra Costa and Alameda counties and also a fundraiser for local shelters and rescue groups," she said. … Continue reading »

Maine Governor Unveils $7 Million Energy Loan Program
On September 13 Maine Governor John Baldacci unveiled a program to help Maine families pay this winter's home heating bills. The new $7 million Home Energy Loan Program (HELP) provides low-interest rate energy improvement loans to Maine's working families.
"This is welcome news to Maine homeowners who are concerned about the high cost of heating their homes this winter," Governor Baldacci said. "MaineHousing estimates that HELP may enable homeowners cut their yearly energy consumption by up to 20%."
The MaineHousing (Maine State Housing Authority) program provides loans of up to $15,000 to homeowners with incomes up to 115% of the area median income. Loans are made at 1% to homeowners who make improvements suggested by a certified energy auditor, and at 3% interest to those who do not use an energy auditor. The cost of the energy audit may be included in the loan.
HELP loans can be used to fund a variety of energy conservation measures, including insulation and weather-stripping, heating system repair or replacement, storm doors and windows, and purchase of Energy Star® rated appliances.
For more information, read Governor Baldacci's September 13 press release.
