Any body got any opinions on them? Good or bad? And by Fag hags I am generally talking about straight females who like to hang around with gay guys. I do not want to post my own opinions as I do not want people's answers to be influenced by what I have said. I shall post my own opinions near the end or the discussion.
Please can people who have posted thier opinions not be critised for them. If you don't like what someone has said, then by all means debate it, but don't hold what they have said against them or be mean.
Lots and pots of love
expectually one of my best friend is a fag hag. Shes wonderful and easy to talk to. SHes like my siemes twin so thats cool. But for those fag hags wanting to get into gay boys pant is a big no no.
I'm fine with being friends with straight girls who like to hang around me (a gay guy) if and only if they don't go on and on about my homosexuality. What I mean to say is that I don't want to be friends with anyone who thinks they're cool since they are friends with a gay person. I wouldn't want any of my fag hags shoving my sexuality in my face; I'd rather she consider it a non-issue. Success! Haha, that's the clearest I can make that thought.
I hope I didn't lose you with the second sentence. I think fag hags can be beneficial for gays because they can be a shoulder to cry on, someone to lean on, someone to talk to, etc.
Don't forget the dyke tykes lurking. They never seem to have much of a voice.
Press secretary for The Movement To Free Ommpa loompa Land From The Tyrannical Rule Of The Evil Capitalsitic Despot Willy Wonka And Associates
So THAT'S what they're called... I was talking with a friend of mine about this a while back and she couldn't remember what straight guys who hang out with lesbians are called...
I agree that it's okay as long as they don't have "ulterior motives" and they're not just hanging out with gay guys so they can say they have gay friends. I don't blame some women for being fag hags - it makes it so that they can hang out with men without having to worry about those men always wanting to get in their pants, and they can talk about guys and other "girl stuff" to boot.
i think its okie,as long as its not just a friendship based on the fact their gay,and also not if theyre trying to get with guy....
I can't doubt that I greatly value my friendships with straight women, I think greatly value their friendships with me. I had one friend in particular who claimed she found gay men wherever she turned (the Empress, if you know my posts on the old site). I personally think she liked hanging out with guys and she liked even more being able to talk about guys with guys. We weren't as conservative as some of her girl friends and offered a different perspective on guys. I enjoyed bullshitting (I do it a lot, in case you're seriously reading this specific post), sometimes about guys, sometimes not, without the worry of sexual tension. It was a mutually beneficial relationship.
One might argue they every straight woman can benefit, just a little from having a gay friend. Queer boys and fag hags, as Forrest Gump would say "...like peas and carrots."
Chief Lawyer for The Movement to Free Oompa Loompa Land from the Tyrannical Capitalistic Despot Willy Wonka
yay for fag hags. They provide some of my best friendships, esp. cause I dont' have a boyfriend, and straight guys get boring after a while.
does anyone know or any dyke tykes? I've never heard or them. What are they like and what are there reeasons for hanging round lesbians (i know they don;t have to have a reason, but why do they do it).
Queer boys who hang out with queer girls? Or vice versa? I hang out with a queer guy and some dyke tykes. Friendships with guys are great!
Second only to relationships with girls

Silver's Smoking Guns, Part 1: Mining Paradox
Is there so little silver around that it cannot be located and mined at large-scale, commercial levels? Absolutely not. While silver is admittedly a "precious" metal, it is roughly 17 times more abundant in the Earth's crust than gold; and throughout history the majority of the world's gold has always been produced via primary gold mining.
Indeed, the parallels (and differences) between silver mining and gold mining are highly instructive. Despite being much less abundant than the lesser "base" metals, gold and silver have always been produced via primary mining. Even in the 1980s and '90s when (by remarkable coincidence) the price of gold had also been driven to historic lows, most of the world's gold still came from primary mining.
Where the gold-mining industry and the silver-mining industry differed was that the level of price suppression with gold was never as savage/extreme as occurred in the silver market, and so the primary gold-mining industry survived.
The historical evidence, recent empirical evidence and simple arithmetic/economics of global mining are crystal-clear. All commercial/industrial metals should be supplied mostly through primary mining (subject to the limited exceptions previously noted). This directly implies an even more important principle: By definition, the "fair-market price" for any metal is one which is high enough to support primary mining as the dominant component of supply.
There can be no argument here. The only reason why gold can be "primarily" mined and sold by the ounce whereas copper is mined/sold by the pound is price. This, in turn, leads to another unequivocal conclusion: The only reason why the majority of (new) silver supplied to the market today does not come from primary silver mining is that the price of silver continues to be suppressed far below its fair-market value. The same mining geologists scouring the world for gold, and generally encountering it in concentrations of between 1 and 5 grams per ton of ore, are locating silver (in large deposits) at concentrations of between 100 and 200 grams per ton -- and sometimes more. If silver were fairly priced in the marketplace today, the majority of silver production would be coming via primary silver mining instead of as a byproduct of other mining. This is a conclusive "smoking gun" pointing toward the manipulation of the price of silver in the silver market. The fact that the laughably myopic CFTC can see "no evidence" of silver manipulation despite claiming to have focused all its regulatory/analytical prowess on this market for roughly the past five years only undermines the legitimacy of that institution still further. Despite the rise in the price of silver from under $4/ounce (its 600-year low) to over $30/ounce, a large portion of the world's small-but-growing number of primary silver miners are struggling just to turn a net profit. Yet despite the economic realities of supply and demand, all we get out of the mainstream media is repeated, idiotic rhetoric about some mythical "silver bubble." The absurd/incredible paradigm of modern silver mining is mirrored by parallel imbalances and absurdities in the world of silver. Part 2 of this series will look at the investment paradox, which has resulted from the serial suppression of silver prices. And Part 3 will focus on the market paradox -- and yet again shine the spotlight on glaring evidence of silver manipulation.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Hawker food features prominently in the culinary culture in the state of Penang. Across the industry there are always places that constantly make headlines while others tend to be excellent but underrated, and the New Cathay Coffee Shop is classified as the latter.
Located along Lorong Kuching right off the ever bustling Burmah Road, this coffee shop is one of the decent places to sample a plethora of Penang's street hawker fare. A favorite mostly with the locals, it begins to fill up as early as 7.30 in the morning and is absolutely packed during the peak hours of ten in the morning right through two in the afternoon.
For those opting for a lighter snack, the apom manis (Indian style pan cake) stall right beside the shop is an excellent alternative. Interestingly, the owner still maintains the tradition of using charcoal stoves and clay pots.

Happy Halloween from Josh and Noel

James Patrick Says…
Pretty big Wednesday for me, so I'm sending out a rare bulletin.
ANGEL: MASKS is in stores tomorrow, from IDW. If you're a Buffy/Angel fan pick it up and see my take on how two of the show's very important characters met. This one is at comic shops fer sure and I'm assuming even bookstores. I'm going to the mall bookstore, pointing at the rack and saying, "I wrote that," then being escorted away by security saying, "Sure you did, buddy. Sure you did."
DEATH COMES TO DILLINGER TRADE in PREVIEWS: Yeah, my first real widely released (and critically acclaimed ) book is collected in one volume, has extra scenes and art, and much gabbing by me trying to be important. Anyway, it's available for preorder in the Previews catalog tomorrow. It's spotlighted as well (that's a good thing). The order number is NOV06 3844
Here's a pretty picture.
I edited Dilliner, and I read JP's Angel, so, y'know… off you go.
Ah, Rope. Generally considered more style than substance, although, I'd say somewhat wrongly. For those who don't know, the movie is essentially a 9 cuts. In other words, each reel is an uncut tracking shot, following the exploits of two Leopold and Loeb like murderers who match wits with a strangely machiavellian Jimmy Stewart. The movie is all tension and style, but, with some top notch performances, particularly by Stewart, it becomes an engaging mastwork that's a statement on everything from the state of film acting to the use of flash to substitute for substantive material. In 1948.
In other words, Hitchcock what lose his mind if he saw the dreck that passes for quality films these days. It's pretty clear that the only reason Hitchcock would undertake such a strange filming method would be as an experiment of style, but, as he is known for, the exercise becomes considerably better than most people's life's work.
And, the fun trivia fact from the DVD is that it has not one but two cameos from Hitchcock, despite the fact that it all takes place in one apartent with only a handful of actors.
And Hume "I Banged Jessica Tandy and was in Cocoon" Cronyn apparently wrote the treatment that the movie was adapted from (which was in turn adapted from a British play.)
So, yet another highly recommended.

Weekly Roundup
Hey Gang,
Exceptionally fucking busy, just trying to keep up. Looks like Kody and I are about ready to unleash Punks on people, so that's coming up. I'm writing the Afterword for the Elk's Run trade right now, so, I'm looking forward to never having to write anything else for the book ever again. Except for the interviews I'm getting scheduled in the next few weeks/months.
Aside from that, Tumor is humming along, and I've got a few other work for hire things on the way, all of which should be announced shortly.
Busy, busy life.
Was great. Most fun I've had at a show in a long time. Been running around playing catch up since the show, so I'll post photos and stuff when I get home tonight. Cheers mateys.
Scenes from an Airport
Rear Window
Ah, Rear Window. I figure if you're going to watch a slew of Hitchcock movies why not start with one fo the best. Pitch perfect performances, brilliant cinematography, riveting suspense… it literally hits every theme and grace note that he touches upon in most of his other movies all at once. The voyerism, the paranoia, the gray moralism… all there, all executed flawlessly.
As a creator, I guess what stands up for me in Rear Window is the containment. So much of Suspense and Action these days is the feeling of the ever changing landscape, and with few exceptions (Die Hard, motherfuckers), that's just how you make a suspense movie. Rear Window is even further the other direction.
Not only do we never leave the apartment, although there is the few seconds of window dangling, but, our entire frame of reference is at a sharp 3rd person. We never hear those across the alley talk, but, yet, we know who they all are. We know what they're all doing, and what they're character journeys are. And we know it because of Jimmy Stewart's reactions to it.
His character serves as the perfect representation of what we each do when left on our own, left to our own devices for entertainment. We obsess, we imagine, and sometimes, we get ourselves into trouble. That's why Hitchcock excels for me as a director. No matter how absurd the situation (Strangers on a Train or Psycho anyone?) it always feels not just grounded and real to the characters, but, as though it's something that happened to someone you know, or, is happening to you.
That to me is great storytelling

VC to 'SEAL' the deal with plan to improve student success
Oct. 13, 2012 at 5:13 a.m.
Students may submit their entries as a JPG or a PDF to firstname.lastname@example.com. Logo submissions must include the words of the slogan, "Students Engaged in Active Learning," and be submitted by 5 p.m. Oct. 26.
Quality Enhancement Plan Timeline for Victoria College
Sept. 2011 - Initiate topic discussion
March 2012 - Select topic
April 2012 - Initiate detailed plan development
June 2013 - Complete plan
July 2013 - Submit QEP to SACS
Sept. 2013 - SACS on-site review at Victoria College
June 2014 - SACS approves and reaffirms VC's accreditation
Source: Victoria College
Victoria College is developing a plan to improve student success by helping students become more actively engaged in their education.
Increasing active learning in the classroom will help students improve their critical thinking and communication skills, said professor Marty Stockbauer.
"Active learning may include pausing during a lecture and asking students what they understood from the material discussed," Stockbauer said.
President Dr. Tom Butler said the college is committed to helping students succeed, and active learning is another proven strategy that leads to student success.
"Student engagement in the classroom has been shown to have a positive impact on student success - from mastery of the concepts, to persistence in one's course of study to successful completion," Butler said.
Active learning is the topic of the college's quality enhancement plan, or QEP - a required component of the college's reaffirmation of accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges, commonly referred to as SACS.
In spring 2012, the college organized a QEP topic selection committee, which asked the campus and community to complete a survey regarding student learning specific to the college.
The committee compiled the 1,000 responses, analyzed other student success data and then selected a QEP topic: active learning, as it specifically addresses critical thinking and communication skills.
This fall, Tempi McLeod was hired to serve as the QEP director.
She immediately began working with a QEP development committee to formulate a plan and slogan based on the topic selected.
"The slogan, students engaged in active learning, summarizes what the QEP is all about, and the acronym SEAL symbolizes our ultimate goal to help students succeed," McLeod said.
Moving forward, the college has begun hosting small focus groups involving faculty members from each of the college's five academic divisions.
"We want to give the faculty a voice as we continue our research on best practices of using active learning strategies in the classroom," McLeod said.
In order to help students learn more about the QEP and its importance, the college will hold a QEP logo contest between Oct. 15 and Oct. 26.
Current students are invited to submit a logo that they think best represents the QEP slogan: SEAL (Students Engaged in Active Learning).
All participants who enter the contest will receive a flash drive wrist band.
The winner will be selected in November and will receive a $50 Visa gift card as well as campuswide recognition.
The college will use a version of the winning logo in future communications regarding the QEP.

International knowledge hub to link climate change and food security research
13 July 2011
BBSRC-funded researchers are invited to join a virtual knowledge hub in the area of agriculture, food security and climate change. This is under a new European Joint Programming Initiative (JPI) jointly led by BBSRC and the French National Institute for Agricultural Research (INRA).
A programme of research will be enabled by the FACCE (Food security, Agriculture and Climate ChangE) Knowledge Hub, which brings together major European modellers in the areas of crops, livestock and trade to look at how climate variability and change impact on these models. Interested research groups, with BBSRC current funding in this area, are invited to express their willingness to join the hub (see notes).
This is part of the Agriculture, Food Security and Climate Change JPI, which is designed to align national programming around these major global challenges. EU member states and associated countries work together under the JPI to a common vision and strategic research agenda. Partners will fund coordination costs to join the knowledge hub aimed at producing a detailed climate change risk assessment for European agriculture and food security.
Professor Douglas Kell, Chief Executive, BBSRC said "International collaborations allow us to ensure that we are able to tackle the greatest global challenges we face. We are working strategically with our partners in the area of climate change, agriculture and food security. Through this we have the opportunity to ensure the gaps in our knowledge are filled; duplication of effort is avoided; and as a whole community of researchers we have a critical mass of people, skills, knowledge, and resources that is necessary to make progress in this area."
The duration of the Knowledge Hub will be 3 years for a first phase, followed by an evaluation with a perspective of a two year extension, subject to a successful review and budget availability. In the first stage, interested research groups will send a letter of intent in English, expressing their willingness to join the Knowledge Hub.
Notes to editors
Letters of intent must be submitted to the Call office (see below) by September 7, 2011 (01:00 pm CET) through the FACCE call ESS (electronic submission server) system.

Bakersfield man arrested for vehicular manslaughter after a traffic stop took a wrong turn
Man arrested for four other violations
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - Kern County Sheriff's deputies said they initiated a traffic stop in the area of Brundage Lane and Oswell Street On Saturday night around 11 p.m.
Shortly after a deputy said he tried to talk to the driver of a vehicle who was identified as 37-year-old Federico Sanchez.
Sanchez proceeded to drive away, deputies said, at a fast speed.
The deputy said he ran back to his car and drove off to follow Sanchez.
Deputies said Sanchez refused to pull over and began to drive erratically and crashed into a parked trailer on Oswell Street just south of Center Street in East Bakersfield.
A passenger in the vehicle was ejected from the car and died at the scene, officials reported.
Sanchez was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment of his injuries, deputies said.
Deputies said Sanchez is currently under arrest for vehicular manslaughter, felony evading police, under the influence of a controlled substance, driving under the influence as well as several outstanding warrants.
The California Highway Patrol said they are investigating the crash.
The name of the passenger has not been released.

Hot flashes — Just during menopause? | related questions Originally Published: November 1, 1994 - Last Updated / Reviewed On: July 15, 2011 |
Share this |
I was wondering just what "hot flashes" are. I've heard that women have them during menopause. I'm just curious.
Dear q,
You've heard right! Experienced by three out of four women during menopause, hot flashes are quite common and don't represent any major health concern, though they can be uncomfortable. Hot flashes can also be caused by other hormonal (and non-hormonal) changes, but menopause is the most frequent cause.
It's not exactly clear why hot flashes occur during menopause. Body temperature is regulated by the hypothalamus and it appears that a decrease in estrogen can contribute to some hypothalamic deregulation. However, decreases in estrogen are not the sole cause of hot flashes, since people who have low estrogen levels (e.g. children) do not have hot flashes. So, it's something about the hormonal changes that seem to trigger them, though hormones may not be fully to blame.
Hot flashes can vary in their duration and frequency. They usually only last a couple of minutes but can last as long as 30 minutes. They can be as few as once or twice week, or they can happen many times a day. Though hot flashes feel different for different people, they are commonly described as a sensation of heat traveling through the upper half of the body or the face. Hot flashes may cause sweating, or a feeling of suffocation. A person may experience chills, either before or after a hot flash. Hot flashes at night are called "night sweats" and can be particularly insidious because they can interfere with sleep and cause chronic insomnia.
There are other causes of hot flashes. The most common, non-menopausal cause is stress. Some foods and drinks may also cause hot flashes. Depending on the individual, alcohol, food additives, or the size of the meal can trigger hot flashes. Also, many prescription drugs such as anti-hypertensive's and mood altering drugs such as anti-depressants or anti-anxiety medications can cause hot flashes. Smoking can trigger them, as well. Occasionally, hot flashes can be a symptom of more serious conditions. Hot flashes that occur in women under the age of 40 could be a sign of a more serious problem, such as primary ovarian insufficiency (POI), a condition usually accompanied by irregular periods and, sometimes, infertility.
So what to do about it? For night sweats:
- Turn down the thermostat before bed.
- Sleep with light sheets and light clothes.
- At least three hours before bed, avoid alcohol, caffeine, hot liquids, or any other foods you notice triggering the hot flashes.
- Avoid exercise or cigarettes three hours before bedtime.
For daytime hot flashes
- Get at least 30 minutes per day of physical activity (but not within three hours of sleep).
- Dress in layers that can be easily shed.
- Carry a small fan.
- Stay well-hydrated.
- Try to avoid situational or food triggers, which you know may cause a hot flash.
If you suspect anything other than stress, medication, or menopause, it may be worth a trip to a health care provider to rule out a serious cause. She or he may also be able to recommend some treatment options.
Here's to staying cool,

Cavernous hemangioma | |
Classification and external resources | |
Cavernous hemangioma is a type of blood vessel malformation (hemangioma) that has relatively large blood-filled spaces (cavities). Cavernous hemangiomas do not contain tissue of the organ in which they are situated. They can arise virtually anywhere in the body and are considered to be benign neoplasms. Unlike the capillary hemangiomas, they can be disfiguring and do not tend to regress. They may also lead to spontaneous or traumatic bleeding and ulcerations.
Clinically important cavernous hemangiomas, i.e. cavernous hemangiomas that may be symptomatic and potentially life threatening, are:

Bicycling Adventure Guide
Bicycling Adventure Guide: Santa Fe, New Mexico
7 / 10
Semi-arid Sante Fe may be known for its Spanish-style architecture, adobe art galleries and haute hippie culture, but it's equally well-endowed with singletrack that climbs from the bottom of the high desert valley to the summits of the thin-aired Sangre de Cristo Mountains. And that elevation gain comes with a bit of advice: If you're visiting from a lower elevation, take the first day to explore the town to give yourself time to adapt before you head to the hills.
And town, of course, is worth the visit. There are more museums than you'd expect for a city of under 75,000 residents; truthfully, the architecture alone is worth a wander around.
But then head to the mountains—they're the real treat. Long climbs, high alpine terrain, fast descents, desert overlooks, it's all here and all waiting. Most trails are well marked (or at least well defined), so the experience is generally worry-free. Just bring plenty of water…and a friend to keep you company. Worn out from the ride? Recharge with a margarita and some high-quality Mexican food. It's okay, you've earned it.

So...don't really know where to start.
K, my crush/bff, was starting to like this guy in her gym class. Then he got her number and they started texting. Then he asked her out. It was a major freak-out for me. I was actually tutoring when she told me, and I had to like tell the girl I tutor I needed to go outside for a sec. That night was the first time I'd cried over K.
That was...three weeks ago? Four? Something like that. And I decided, number one, I was gonna be a good friend and support her in this and not start avoiding her; and number two, I wasn't gonna try to get over her. Which, maybe the second one was a foolish decision, but I knew from experience that I'm not good at falling out of love. I told myself that they wouldn't last til Prom...and if they did, then I would start trying to move on.
I did a good job, too. When her little sister's friend was asking questions about him, I laughed at her red face. I said nice things when she couldn't text me cuz she was doing something with him. And a couple weeks ago, when she wanted to tell me something, I was there. She told me they'd made out for the first time last night, and that it was "just kinda gross". I told her, as a friend would, to just tell him she wanted to go slow. But inside I wondered if maybe she didn't like him enough. And thought that maybe she didn't like guys at all, if kissing grossed her out. Then I mentally slapped myself and put myself back into the best friend shoes.
In the last week, she started wondering to me if maybe she didn't like him enough. She knew she didn't like him as much as he liked her, and she was stressing over their relationship and even, she told me, avoiding him. I told her that she should do what felt right, but was a relationship really worth it if it caused more pain that happiness?
Tuesday and Wednesday nights she kept me up late, unable to sleep because she didn't know what to do. I gave her what advice I could and tried to distract her, but secretly hoped that this might be the end.
Thursday night she told me she was texting him, and he asked what was up with her recently, and she said she needed to talk to him. He asked her if they were breaking up and she said yes.
She texted me, saying "I didn't want to do it over text!" I sent her "*hug* i'm sorry". *explodes* she said, and I replied with *starts picking up the pieces*.
Now I'm in a dilemma. I know how much it hurts when she falls for someone else now, I know how strong my friendship with and love for her are, and I know what happens when I don't speak up. But they only just broke up, and I know I should wait. But how long? And I'm afraid that, even with what I've learned, I'll be too chicken to tell her. Advice?
Sorry for the long rambling journal. –.–
Well if you ever need someone to talk to pm me. I am an expert at falling out of, well maybe not love, but feelings.
I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.
Oscar Wilde
thanks! i will pm you if i need to spill.
Two wrongs don't make a right but three lefts do!
you're a really good friend, i'd love to have a friend like you :D
that's really brave of you, to do that, giving advice and stuff
*hugs* it's good to let it out sometimes
*awwww* the part about you picking up the pieces were cute
so, wait, you plan on telling her you like her?
i'm confused...
That's so straight. No, seriously.
thanks. it was hard, but i knew that if i couldn't be a good friend in hard times i definitely wouldn't deserve to be her gf.
i had given myself my b-day as a deadline for telling her--oct 30th. then he asked her out like a couple weeks before that. and i still do want to tell her, but...=/
Two wrongs don't make a right but three lefts do!
>A< *hug* that sucks...i should give myself a deadline in telling blue that i like her....
That's so straight. No, seriously.

I love the polenta party from Cat Cora, never have cooked polenta with semolina…a nice texture. I actually bought Cat's cookbook (autographed) and donated it to a Pediatric Cancer fundraiser, would love one of my own if it's in the cards.
I would have to say the chocolate creme brulee! Love it. Two of my favourites in one dessert! Phenomenal
I love the sweet potatoe and scallion latkes. They are wonderful and comforting. They remind me of dinners at my grandparents house.
I do not have a favorite but watch the Iron Chef and Cat is one of my favorite Chef's If I had a copy of the book I am sure that I would have many favorites.
My favorite so far is the Mushroom Nut Pate. So fun and unexpected for a party.
The only dishes of Cat's that I am familiar with are those she makes on the Iron Chef. On the Thanksgiving show, the venison on the salt block looked so good it made my mouth water.
I've always admired Cat Cora for being the only female Iron Chef. Her recipes and ingredients combinations are always delicious. My favorite recipe from Cat Cora is the shrimp in Lemon sauce because I love seafood and it was simple to make.
First, let me start off saying that this lady is amazing! Her hard work, efficiency and outstanding personality is outstanding!
I just LOVE her Lasagna recipe! It has just the right amount of ingredients and I do not have to be a professional to make it. Even my kids love it, which a huge compliment goes to Cora! Also, adding the rustic bread for a finishing touch is quite delicious! Keep the recipes coming Cora! -
I am a culinary student in my town. I am always looking for new and creative ideas. Cat Corra was a guest at my school about a year ago. She is an inperation. I get alot of new idas from watching her.
love her recipes are all great

The ATS and CECity - a provider of CME education, Quality Improvement and Outcomes platforms products - are giving away 10 free subscriptions to PQRI Wizard, a CECity software program that assists practices receiving the Physician Quality Reporting Initiative (PQRI) bonus by simplifying the measures reporting process.
Since 2007, CMS has conducted a voluntary quality measure reporting program where physician can receive additional Medicare bonus payments for reporting on a range of quality measures. Clinicians who meet the reporting requirements will earn a PQRI incentive payment equal to 2 percent of their total estimated Medicare Part B Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) allowed charges for covered professional services furnished during that same reporting period. In addition to individual quality measures, CMS has also developed quality measure sets that reduce the number of patients that clinicians must report on. Clinicians can now report on the Community Acquired Pneumonia measure, which requires CAP quality measures be reported for 30 encounters (the encounters do not have to be Medicare beneficiaries).
To be eligible for the drawing to win one of the ten free PQRI Wizard subscritions
1) You must be an active US ATS member;
2) You must be a provider eligible to participate in the CMS PQRI program; and
3) You must be active in clinical practice.
In exchange for receiving a one-year free subscription to PQRI Wizard, participants will be asked to
1) Participate in two conference call to share their experience with the program (one conference call 6 months after implementation of the software, a second call at the conclusion of the reporting year);
2) Provide ATS with information the number of patients you reported PQRI measures on and whether you were successful in getting a PQRI bonus payment;
3) Be willing to be share impressions of the CMS PQRI program and the PQRI Wizard product for a future newsletters to the ATS membership.
To enter the drawing to win, send an e-mail with the subject line "PQRI Wizard Drawing" to email@example.com.
Please include your name, phone number, email address and ATS membership number in the body of the e-mail. Only one entry per ATS member will be accepted. The deadline for submitting your entry is Wednesday, May 26th and winners of the drawing will be contacted by June 1, 2010.
What If I Don't Win?
For those who aren't lucky enough to win the drawing, ATS members can still use their ATS membership number to purchase a discounted subscription to PQRI Wizard for $249 - a savings of $50 off the regular purchase price. To receive the ATS discount please have your ATS membership number ready and visit the ATS website at: http://www.thoracic.org/
CBO Increases the Estimated Cost of the SGR Fix
This week the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) issued revised estimates for a permanent fix of the sustainable growth rate factor (SGR), estimating it will cost $275.8 billion over 10 years - an increase of $68 billion over earlier estimates. The increased cost estimate will complicate Congressional efforts to pass a permanent fix to the SGR problem.
Congress has twice passed legislation forestalling the 21 percent cuts scheduled to go into effect in 2010, but the current temporary patch expires June 1. The latest Congressional continues the Congressional pattern of passing temporary legislation to avert the looming cuts, while leaving the problem unsolved. The ATS and its colleagues in the physician community will continue to pressure Congress to pass a legislation that permanently fixes the SGR formula.

ATS Joins Letter in Support of Increased NIH Funding
This week, the ATS joined an ad-hoc Group for Medical Research letter to the United States House Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies in support of increased funding for the NIH. The letter requests $35 billion for the NIH in FY 2011. The letter states, "By supporting $35 billion for biomedical research and the NIH, you can help ensure the nation does not lose the health and economic benefits of this extraordinary investment (the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act) and take the next crucial step by beginning a course of sustained NIH funding in the FY 2011 budget and beyond."
ATS Supports Equitable Medicaid Payment for Pediatric Providers
Also this week, the ATS joined a letter coordinated by pediatric specialty organizations to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, urging her to protect child access to specialty care by ensuring that all pediatric subspecialties are included in a new measure passed under healthcare reform that will adjust Medicaid payment rates for pediatric providers over time. The letter points out that children on Medicaid have higher rates of chronic illnesses that require specialty care than do non-Medicaid patients, and that pediatricians, pediatric subspecialists and pediatric surgical specialists work within the Medicaid program more than any other organized physician group. Despite this, the letters signors state, "the difficulties in obtaining reimbursement and the low rates of return on billing are significant disincentives to correcting this problem (pediatric workforce shortages) and negatively impact access for children in Medicaid." The ATS will keep members informed as regulations are developed on this issue.

2K Games has announced that they will be releasing BioShock: Ultimate Rapture Edition in North America on January 14th for just $29.99.
This bundle includes the original BioShock, BioShock 2 and all of the available DLC for both games. Additionally, players will be able to access the Museum of Orphaned Concepts, offering players a tour of 'early concept art, character models and more set within the halls of Rapture.' If all of this content wasn't enough to whet your appetite while we wait for BioShock: Infinite, 2K Games is also tossing in the Challenge Rooms Pack for the original BioShock. This content was originally made available exclusively on PlayStation 3.
The Challenge Rooms exist outside the core storyline in BioShock and challenge players in their ability to solve puzzles and fight enemies. When the content originally released, it contained three unique challenge rooms so we would assume that this will still be the case with the Ultimate Rapture Edition.

A police officer in north Wales had a problem: a sheep blocking traffic on the A55 highway. Not prepared to wait after motorists got out their cars and started herding it off the road, the copper tased the wooly miscreant.
"It is not difficult to herd sheep," said the owner of the local animal center.
Tony McNulty, the Home Office minister who eased restrictions on the use of stun guns last year, said they could be used 'where officers are facing violence or threats of violence of such severity that they would need to use force to protect the public, themselves and or the subjects of their action'.
Richard Brunstrom, the chief constable of North Wales Police, previously said in an online blog that the stun gun would provide 'better and quicker protection to ordinary patrol officers in remote locations, faced with dangerous or violent people'.
What baastards. I can just imagine the T-Shirts that these guys print.
Baa! Outrage after police officer blasts runaway sheep with Taser gun [Danger Room]
The palm in my face is inadequate.

But as in any family, things were not always rosy. "When my parents would fight," Aisha giggles mischievously, mirroring her father's toothy grin, "Dad would always come to me. I was always his getaway." Pulling the long sleeves of her oversize blue hooded jersey over her small fingers, she beams at the memory: "I remember when I was really little, everyone would think I had no mother because I was always with my father." Then, almost inaudibly, she mumbles into the floor, wiping away a stray tear, "He was such a loving and generous man."
Ayoub raised his four children in accordance with Islamic law, but he was not overly strict. Outside the family home, a different set of rules existed; punishment for Saudi citizens who break the law was and remains severe.
Sitting in the bleachers of UF's virtually deserted Ben Hill Griffin Stadium on a recent evening, Aisha explains why crime in her homeland is almost nonexistent. "When I was about five, I stole a little red eraser," she confesses, rolling her eyes and blushing. "It was a stupid thing shaped like an apple that you put on the end of a pencil. I don't know why I stole it, but my father told me if I got caught, [authorities] would have cut off my hand."
Squirming at the thought of having a limb amputated which is legal in Saudi Arabia, as are public beheadings and floggings Aisha lowers her voice to a dull, husky growl: "And surely they would, but you know what, I never really appreciated the culture until now. I mean the news was always about stupid stuff; I never remember hearing about rape or murder...."
With her words still hanging in the brisk night air, the young woman takes a profound interest in the clasp of her small silver wristwatch as a river of tears gushes down her flushed cheeks.
In the early Nineties, Ayoub decided his kids particularly his two daughters would receive a better education overseas. For them life in the kingdom was very restrictive. So when Aisha was only seven years old, he sent her, his three other children, and their mother to Miami. He stayed behind, where he was assured a stable income.
For the next decade, Ayoub saw his family once every year or two.
But in 2001 he made the 7200-mile voyage from the Middle East to Florida with no return ticket. Mohammad Ayoub was finally home.
When North Miami Beach Senior High School senior Lazaro Esteban Cortes Jr. celebrated his nineteenth birthday this past April, his future seemed set ... despite his humble beginnings.
The only son of Cuban-born parents, Cortes lived in a three-bedroom apartment with his mom, 22-year-old sister Ivonne, and Ivonne's two children, ages six and one. His dad had moved out of the family home several years before, but the two maintained a healthy relationship, Ivonne says.
The Cortes family lives in a two-story, turquoise-color building at the end of NW Fourth Avenue a dead-end street flanked by NW Seventeenth Street and the Dolphin Expressway. It was here, in the heart of Overtown, that the young Lazaro lived for five years before his arrest in Ayoub's murder. The neighborhood is unwelcoming, run-down, and, according to residents, extremely dangerous. Visible from the cluttered balcony of the family's second-floor corner unit are drug addicts, prostitutes, drunks, and homeless.
"This is not the kind of neighborhood where you want to make friends," says the tall, slender, olive-skinned Ivonne, "but Boobie [Cortes] seemed to get on with everyone."
Indeed the family's elderly and friendly downstairs neighbor, Carrie Grant, describes Cortes as "a nice boy who kept to himself." Straightening her canary-color smock, she beams affectionately as she strolls past the green railings that separate her ground-floor home from the street. "I actually just got back from dropping [Ivonne] and the kiddies off at daycare, on account of the rain. They are such a pleasant family."
According to Ivonne, Cortes is generally well mannered and avoids trouble where possible. "If he happened to have a problem with someone, I would have to be the one to tell them to leave him alone," she laughs. "He just isn't an aggressive person."
Before he was charged with murder for standing guard outside the Dollar and Beauty, Cortes had never had a run-in with the law, Ivonne says. Records reveal he had never been arrested. "That's not the way we were raised," she adds. "He was just never a troublesome kid, never the one to start anything." Indeed Cortes boasts a muscular but not menacing physique. He stands an average five feet nine inches tall and weighs 160 pounds. Framed by closely cut black hair, his childlike face, with full lips and wide, questioning brown eyes, appears soft, not at all threatening.
The doe-eyed Cortes, his sister says, was working diligently on a plan to find a better life dedicating his time to football and his studies.
"He had a routine. He would get up sometimes as early as 6:00 a.m. if he had practice, go to school, and come home," says Ivonne. "Any free time, he either spent with his girlfriend Mika or working with our uncle [a locksmith]."

We need carbohydrates to be at our healthiest. Yes, carbohydrates can cause fat gain, especially if an over abundance of the calorie dense variety are consumed too often. Eating too many calorie dense carbohydrates causes insulin spiking and when that happens, fat burning potential is greatly decreased and fat gain virtually imminent. From that it would seem that a low carbohydrate diet would make sense? It is actually true, you will lose body fat more quickly on a low carbohydrate diet than any type of diet. So why would I recommend as much carbohydrates as I do in my program? There are a couple of reasons for this. When carbohydrate intake gets too low, your muscles have no fuel (called glycogen). Your body then turns to its two alternate fuel sources, fat and protein. Once glycogen stores get too depleted, the body begins to breakdown proteins to use as fuel. Carbohydrates are protein sparing, so while we dont want to prevent the burning of fat, we also dont want to lose valuable muscle mass either or use all the protein we ingest for energy in lieu of muscle synthesis. We want the protein we intake to be used to repair and build muscle. We want the muscle we have to grow.
In the long run, the amount of lean body mass we have dictates how fast our metabolism is, 24 hours a day! We want lean, yet muscular bodies. We definitely dont want to be a skinny, but soft and saggy person. So how do we do this? We want to eat carbohydrate foods in the right quantities, but focus on those that are nutrient dense and convert to glucose over an extended period of time so insulin doesnt spike. That means the carbohydrates we eat must contain vitamins and minerals, have adequate fiber content and have the enzymes necessary to digest them. We also dont want to eat them alone, but with some protein and a little fat, to further slow the insulin response.
Top Ten List of Clean Carbohydrates To Eat:
10.) Brown rice: The key here is brown, with the fiber husks in place. Rice allergies are rare and it digests readily without too much distress, bloating or gas. It is best for fat loss to keep serving sizes under 1 cup cooked or ¼ cup dry weight.
9.) Steel cut whole oatmeal: Not the rolled oats you grew up eating, but maybe what your grandmother grew up eating. This is the whole oat with all valuable fiber and nutrients in tact. It takes a bit longer to cook, but the nutty flavor and slower insulin response are worth it. As with brown rice, keep serving sizes under 1 cup cooked or ¼ cup dry weight.
8.) Quinoa: Another high fiber, gluten-free cereal grain. Higher fiber and mineral content than the oats or rice for even better insulin control. If taste doesnt suit you at first, mix 1:1 with oatmeal until you get used to it. Once you are, youll be hooked!
7.) Yams/sweet potatoes: These tubers are best prepared baked, in the skin. Not much more carbs than a regular russet of similar size, but more fiber, vitamins and minerals. I like them baked, then refrigerated cold and sprinkled with a little cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice.
6.) Winter squashes: Butternut, pumpkin, spaghetti or acorn squash are all very nutritious and now can be found in markets year round in most places. Cut them in half, scoop out the seeds and bake them skin side up over a ¼ of water. These are full of fiber, vitamins and minerals and a nice change of pace.
5.) Peas and Legumes: Most beans varieties and green peas fit this bill. Choose from black, pinto, navy, kidney, white, red, chickpeas, garbanzo, etc. beans or green peas, as all of these are high fiber and very filling. Protein content, along with the fiber, fills you up without filling you out by keeping insulin response low. For best results, soak and cook slowly. As a snack, try hummus!
4.) Colorful fibrous veggies: Red, yellow and orange bell peppers, green beans, beets, yellow summer squash, zucchini, purple eggplant, carrots, parsnips, red and green chili peppers the colors mean carotenoids, and plenty of mixed carotenoids means more antioxidant coverage. A wide variety of colorful vegetables in your diet will improve your health and make your skin glow. There is almost no downside to the amount of vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, and fiber (at low calories) they provide.
3.) Super fruits: Fruits are great foods, full of fiber and enzymes, and with their quick digestion yet slow insulin response makes them ideal for an instant energy boost. But not all fruits are created equal and most dont even make this list, but a select few make it almost to the top. Blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, pomegranates, cranberries, and acai are amazing foods. You will feel the difference when you eat them versus other fruits. They are excellent when your sick, or when you workout hard, for that extra level of protection. High antioxidant, phytonutrients, enzymes, fiber and vitamins at moderate calories give you a lot of bang for the buck. They also have cleansing alkalizing effects on you internally, which along with all the antioxidants, provides an enormous immunity boost and keeps your digestive system functioning properly.
2.) Leafy green vegetables: Kale, sea kelp, turnip greens, collard greens, mustard greens, beet greens, chlorella, wheat grass, endive, alfalfa sprouts, spring green lettuces, spirulina, and spinach are so low calorie, yet so nutrient dense, they rank very high on my preferred carbohydrate list. Include these several meals a week and they will cover almost any base you missed. Theyve got the minerals, phytonutrients, fiber and vitamins in high quantities. These also are alkalizing and cleansing, keeping your digestive system running at full capacity.
1.) Cruciferous vegetables: Broccoli, broccoli rabe, cauliflower, bok choy, napa cabbage, Chinese cabbage, green and purple cabbages are maybe not as high in micronutrients as the leafy green vegetables or super fruits, yet they contain DIM or Diindolymethane, a phytonutrient that acts as an estrogen disposal agent. Excess estrogen plagues almost anyone who is overweight or has practiced poor dietary habits for any amount of time. When you rid yourself of excess estrogen, you free up testosterone to do its job of building muscle at the expense of body fat. It is best to consume these incredible foods in large quantities. Try broccoli rabe or baby bok choy, sautéed in a little olive oil, with sea salt and garlic. Try mashed cauliflower in place of mashed potatoes, its terrific.
Now, I would suggest 80% or more of your total carbohydrate intake come from above preferred foods list. That doesnt mean you cant have other complex carbohydrates like dairy products, bananas, white rice, pasta or whole grain bread ever again. It just means we will eat those foods more sparingly now. Simple sugars (other than whole fruit sources) should be used very rarely, if at all, except in one particular condition. That is your post-workout meal/drink. After you have been tearing up your muscles in the gym, they are primed for a quick and easy to digest meal, preferably a protein and simple carb drink, so your body can go from a catabolic state to an anabolic state and begin to synthesize lean tissue. That repair process will continue over the next 48-96 hours with healthy whole food meals, so this is the only time to do this. The rules for the drink are that it contain high quality whey or egg white protein, a simple sugar such as dextrose, glucose or sucrose (but not crystalline fructose or high fructose corn syrup), and virtually no fat or fiber. It is best if ingested anywhere from 0-30 minutes after your workout is complete. In essence, exactly the opposite of what we normally want in a meal. You can add creatine or L-glutamine if you like or fruit juice. These are not necessary additions, but may help in recovery.

Distance-Based Fares Aren't Very Fair
Mayor Emanuel and President Clinton's announcement of an "Infrastructure Trust" has gotten many people thinking about innovative ways to revamp our aging transportation infrastructure.
I'm all for exciting new transportation ideas and ways to fund them. Having toured some innovative transit systems around the world, including Mexico City's bus rapid transit line, I know we have some catching up to do.
But some ideas that work in other places may not be right for Chicago. I was surprised to read this in the Sun-Times article that covered the infrastructure trust press conference:
"CTA riders could be asked to pay higher fares for buses with front and rear boarding that operate in dedicated lanes with traffic lights that turn green automatically… Riders using a Red Line extension to 130th could pay higher fares the further they travel."
As a member of the CTA Board, that last bit about the Red Line was news to me. The Board has not made any decisions or even had a discussion about distance-based fares.
I don't think distance-based fares are the right way to help pay for transit improvements. It strikes me as unfair to make the poorest residents pay more to travel than wealthier people who live closer to downtown. We should not punish those who have been forced farther out of the city's central core by rising real estate prices with increased transportation costs, especially when they have been denied the good transit access that many of us have enjoyed for so long.
We will find innovative ways to finance transit—I have some thoughts that I'll share with you through this blog—but charging those who can least afford to pay more is not one of them.
