Individuals experiencing long-term homelessness also often suffer from medical fragility caused or aggravated by life on the streets and in shelters. Lacking stable access to housing and preventative health care services, they become "high-utilizers" of costly inpatient and emergency care.
The Corporation for Supportive Housing (CSH) advances high-quality solutions and cost-effective programs to improve the lives of the most vulnerable people in our society by supporting locally-based organizations that provide access to public resources that enable the chronically homeless to connect to homes, health care, and the community. As a Social Innovation Fund (SIF) intermediary, CSH is leading a project that integrates health care and housing for individuals with multiple, chronic health conditions who experience homelessness.
These individuals often fall into the gaps between systems of care. A shelter provider and a hospital, for example, seek to meet different needs of an individual. The shelter may overlook or be unable to help the individual with health problems, making it harder for him to find and keep stable housing. The hospital, in turn, may overlook non-medical factors such as housing instability that could make its treatment plans for a patient less effective.
CSH bridges these gaps by integrating supportive housing – affordable housing and comprehensive services – with special emphasis on health services to improve access and outcomes while lowering costs for public systems such as Medicaid.

In the spring of 2009, the seeds of our organization—and the seeds for a healthy future— were planted by two important White House initiatives. That March, shovels dug in to break ground on the White House Kitchen Garden, and a few weeks later, President Obama signed the bipartisan Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act into law. Motivated to reverse the startling trend in childhood obesity and usher in a new era of service, FoodCorps' founding team was inspired by these two events and saw in them an opportunity to engage AmeriCorps in building a more sustainable, healthful and equitable food system.

The future belongs to the few of us still willing to get our hands dirty. Once you have real, it's hard to go back to fake. All around the nation, small farms, edible schoolyards, farmers markets and gardens are popping up. People are eating food that did not travel miles and miles away but food grown right down the street or at least 20 miles from their homes. Some places bring real food right to your community like Real Food Farm, a project of Civic Works Inc., an organic and sustainable farm in the heart of Baltimore, MD.

Before the start of each Cooking Matters class, AmeriCorps member Veronica Palladino has to make sure she has all of her people and supplies prepped and ready to go. She is responsible for recruiting enough volunteers for each class, training the volunteers, and coordinating with the site to make sure they are ready for the course. She also must have enough groceries and equipment to make the recipes for the day.

Good health is something many of us take for granted, until we get sick. Only then are we reminded of everything it takes to get healthy again. But what if those things were out of reach? Fifty million Americans don't have access to basic healthcare or know how to get it, a driving force behind why Community HealthCorps, an AmeriCorps program, continues to grow after nearly 20 years of service.

Home to the Osage Nation, with the entire county residing within the boundaries of the Osage Reservation, Osage County, OK, consists of more than 2, 251 square miles of land mass and 53 square miles of water -- an area larger than either Rhode Island or Delaware. Unfortunately, even with all this land mass, we live in an area that is designated as a "super food desert."

For too many years we have addressed the equation of "fit body and fit minds" as requiring two separate interventions. For the mind, we've looked toward mentoring. For the body, we've turned to physical activity and health education. But our AmeriCorps investment proves that a national service member can be the catalyst to fit bodies and fit minds. Our formula has been to train our AmeriCorps members on how to use the power of coaching to build relationships with at-risk youth that inspire their healthy futures.

Our nation is more health-conscious and health-aware than ever, but for many there are still obstacles – an untreated disease, obesity, or lack of healthy food -- that prevent them from living their lives to the fullest. That needs to change, and our AmeriCorps members are working to make that happen every day.

Nearly five years after President Obama announced the creation of the Social Innovation Fund (SIF) in a ceremony at the White House, the program has achieved amazing progress. Its portfolio includes more than a half billion dollars of cross-sector investments in effective community solutions. Many already show promising early results. Nonprofits are establishing new connections and building capacity that will benefit the entire social sector and the country. And the SIF is accomplishing this in a way that demonstrates the importance of combining innovation, evaluation, and scale to accelerate the pace of change.

Last year I served as a City Year AmeriCorps member at DC Scholars Stanton Elementary School in Southeast Washington, DC. In my role, I tutored and mentored the students at Stanton, and worked with teachers and administrators to help turn around one of the District's lowest performing schools. I'm proud to be part of Stanton's turnaround success story. This year I lead a team of 18 City Year AmeriCorps members, all serving through the School Turnaround AmeriCorps grant.

Lacking significant support from family, then-high school student Amanda Parris didn't believe college was an option. But her enrollment in a dropout prevention program led to night classes at a local community college and awakened a desire to give back to others.

Harleysville Group Comments On Impact Of Second Quarter Catastrophes And Weather-Related Losses
Harleysville Group Inc. (NASDAQ: HGIC) today announced that an unusually high level of catastrophe storm activity and weather-related losses will impact its second quarter results. The company expects to report approximately $34 million in pretax catastrophe losses related to the second quarter storms, resulting in an operating and net loss 1 in the range of $0.40 to $0.46 per share. At the same time, Harleysville Group anticipates a statutory combined ratio 2 of approximately 125 percent, which reflects approximately 17 points of catastrophe losses. In the second quarter of 2010, Harleysville Group reported operating income of $0.61 per share and a statutory combined ratio of 101.3 percent, which reflected 3.8 points of catastrophe losses. Both years' catastrophe losses exceed the company's long-term average. Harleysville Group expects to announce its second quarter results on August 8.
"During the second quarter, we experienced significant tornado, hail and windstorm activity—some of which did not meet the catastrophe loss definition—across all geographic regions," commented Michael L. Browne, Harleysville Group's president and chief executive officer. "The effects of these storms were tragic for many of our policyholders, as they were forced out of their homes and businesses, and their possessions were destroyed. At a time when they are counting on us the most, we are confident that we are well positioned to deliver on our commitment to our agents and policyholders because of our outstanding financial strength and excellent claims service."
Harleysville Insurance is a leading super-regional provider of insurance products and services for small and mid-sized businesses, as well as for individuals, and ranks among the top 70 U.S. property/casualty insurance groups based on net written premiums. As a Trusted Choice ® company partner, Harleysville distributes its products exclusively through a network of independent agents primarily across 32 states. Harleysville is ranked #21 in the most recent InformationWeek 500, the publication's annual listing of the most innovative information technology organizations in the U.S., and has been included on the list in each of the last five years. Harleysville Mutual Insurance Company owns approximately 54 percent of Harleysville Group Inc. (NASDAQ: HGIC), a publicly traded holding company for eight regional property/casualty insurance companies collectively rated A (Excellent) by A.M. Best Company. Harleysville Group is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, which is comprised of the top third of all NASDAQ member companies and has the highest initial listing standards of any exchange in the world based on financial and liquidity requirements.

St. Patrick's Day in South Florida: Ten Places to Celebrate in Broward and Palm Beach
A Saint Patrick's Day Weekend Celebration
Some holidays are worth celebrating for days on end. St. Paddy's Day is definitely one of them. Taking place from Friday through Monday at Murphy's Law, starting each day at 11 a.m, the festivities include two stages with live bands, happy hour specials, Irish dancers, corned beef and cabbage, and, obviously, green beer.
St. Patrick's Day With an Asian Twist at Coco Asian Bistro
Asian and Irish don't sound like a coherent holiday, but hey, everyone is Irish on St. Paddy's Day. Coco Asian Bistro will be decked out from Friday through Monday, and it's serving commemorative dishes and green drinks, like the corned beef roll and the Irish appletini. There is live music on Friday and Saturday nights.
The Office Celebrating With St. Patrick's Day Specials
The American gastropub is going green -- like, Irish green, not eco-friendly -- Saturday through Monday with food and drinks specials. The Office's executive chef, Bryan Ramos, is offering grilled Reuben sandwich with fries as well as corned beef and cabbage. The bar is offering half-off James Irish Whiskey shots, Irish Car Bombs, and the Electric Lemonade cocktail.
BC Cafe's St. Patrick's Day Menu
This Davie café is ringing in the holiday with some Irish-themed specials. For breakfast, BC Cafe is serving Lucky Charm pancakes and a green frittata made with zucchini, broccoli, and kale. For lunch, the taco is going to the Paddys with corned beef and braised cabbage taco with mustard aioli.
Celebrate St. Patty's Day in the RA
With locations in Broward and Palm Beach counties, this sushi chain is spreading the deals around for the day. The restaurant is offering drink specials to get your drinking like the Irish with $1 green hot sake, $4 Jameson Irish Whiskey shots, $5 Melon Margaritas and Kirin/Kirin Light, or $6 Irish Car Bombs. If green drinks aren't your thing, throughout March, RA Sushi is also offering its signature Sea Monkey cocktail for only $6. This sweet and colorful martini is made with Skyy raspberry vodka, Chambord, and pineapple and cranberry juices.
Enjoy an Authentic Irish Meal This St. Patrick's Day at Stout Bar & Grill
The North Lauderdale Irish pub's newly revamped menu includes a selection of Irish specialties, including bangers and mash, fish and chips, calf's liver and onions, shepherd's pie, and corned beef and cabbage. Every Saturday, Sunday, and St. Patrick's Day, Stout offers a hangover-curing -- and nap-inducing -- Irish breakfast, with two eggs cooked to order, two Irish sausages, Irish bacon, tomatoes, button mushrooms, baked beans, blood pudding, white pudding, and toast.
St. Patrick's Day at Havana Hideout
Havana Hideout, a Palm Beach County favorite, is doing St. Paddy's Day Latin-style. The restaurant is serving Irish banger, potato, and cheese empanadas on Saturday and Sunday (until they're gone).
Arby's Buy One, Get One
When it comes to holidays, fast-food chains are probably not the first places you'd think to celebrate -- if you're looking for a deal, it should be. Saturday through Monday, Arby's is offering twofers on its corned beef Reubana with Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Thousand Island dressing. For March, the chain is offering a trade-up option in which diners can get a double stack or a combo for an extra buck.

When life is murder, who can you trust?
One minute Mia Quinn is in her basement, chatting on the phone with a colleague at the prosecutor's office. The next minute there's a gunshot over the line, and Mia listens in horror as her colleague and friend Colleen bleeds to death.
Mia's a natural for heading up the murder investigation, but these days she has all she can do to hold her life together. As a new widow with a pile of debts, a troubled teenaged son, and a four-year-old who wakes up screaming at night, she needs more time with her family, not less—and working Colleen's case will be especially demanding. But Colleen was her friend, and she needs to keep her job. So she reluctantly teams up with detective Charlie Carlson to investigate Colleen's death. But the deeper they dig, the more complications unfold—even the unsettling possibility that someone may be coming after her.
Lis Wiehl's signature plot twists and relatable characters shine in this absorbing series debut . . . with an intriguing cameo from her best-selling Triple Threat series.

LAGUNA BEACH, Calif. (AP) — Some gun advocates have been quick to criticize former astronaut Mark Kelly, after an incident involving his daughter's dog over the weekend.
Kelly, the husband of wounded former congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, has been campaigning for gun controls, including background checks for gun buyers.
On Saturday, Kelly's daughter was walking her dog on a California beach when the dog bolted, ripping the leash from her hand and fatally attacking a beached baby sea lion. Video showed Kelly's daughter and two other women struggling for several minutes to pull the dog off the sea lion. Kelly then arrived and shook the dog's head until it released the mammal, which later died.
Laguna police said they wouldn't file charges because the dog had been leashed and was legally on the beach. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration also says it doesn't expect to take legal action. Marine animals are protected by federal law.
The gun rights advocates who have commented on Kelly's Facebook page today included several who suggested that background checks be considered for dogs whose owners can't control them, or those that are a threat to the public.

If a patient and partner present to our office with a six-month or one-year history of failure to conceive with no previous testing or treatment, we have been using the V26.21 diagnosis code, as it seems to be most appropriate for the male and female diagnostic testing phase, such as semen analysis, sonohysterogram and egg quality testing.
It seems that giving a female infertility code such as 628.x or 606.x for male infertility would be inappropriate because we don't know yet who is infertile. We have only recently started having problems with this code and only with one major commercial insurer who is stating that we should be using the infertility codes. so it has now raised the question: are we in the right?
Posted September 8, 2014
When a patient becomes pregnant with twins following an IUI or IVF cycle, we have been billing CPT 76817 for the early monitoring ultrasound on the first sac and 76817 -59 for the additional sac examined in the multiple pregnancy, during the same encounter. We have never had a problem getting paid for both ultrasounds done on the same day when the diagnosis is 651.03 twin pregnancy.
Recently, Horizon Blue Cross and Blue Shield has denied payment for the ultrasound done on the second sac, stating denial is based on "payment methodology and guidelines" and that 76817 can only be billed once per encounter. The CPT book neither states that the code can or can't be billed twice per exam.
I have read the description of the other pregnancy codes that specifically state they can be used more than once per exam, and they involve greater work than we can provide at this early stage of monitoring. Do you have any thoughts, and is BCBS correct in denying payment for the second ultrasound exam?
Posted September 4, 2014
What ICD-9 code do you use if a diagnostic hysteroscopy is performed for the preoperative diagnosis of uterine polyp but the postoperative diagnosis is normal uterine cavity? The hysteroscopy was performed to evaluate for a uterine polyp, but no polyp was seen.
What would the correct ICD-9 codes be, and in what sequence would they fall, for a single female patient who would like to do a stimulation cycle with oocyte retrieval and resulting cryopreservation for future personal use? This patient is 36 years old with no medical problems and wishes to preserve her oocytes for future use. Her third-party payer indicates that she does have coverage for these services.
How would you code for an ultrasound- guided transvaginal-transmyometrial test transfer of embryo catheter?
This patient has a history of cervical cancer with radical trachelectomy and abdominal cerclage. She has uterine segment stenosis, and has been trying to conceive for more than 6 months with previous failed attempts of intrauterine cannulation. The patient was taken to the OR for exam under anesthesia, intrauterine cannulation, and test transfer of transmyometrial embryo catheter.
We have a patient insisting that we code the ultrasound follicle monitoring with the PCOS diagnosis. The patient has PCOS, but is now undergoing fertility treatment to get pregnant. My understanding is that if the patient is undergoing treatment to get pregnant, we code with either the 628 codes or the V26.89, and the PCOS can be a secondary diagnosis. Is this correct?
What CPT code is applicable for a Semen Leukocyte Analysis or a Reflex Leukocyte Assay?

http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1595473,00.html As the Iraq war prepares to enter its fifth year — a war that the Bush administration and its backers contended would be a cakewalk — the first senior military officer has finally had to walk the plank for screwing up. But critics who have been long calling for some accountability aren't likely to be appeased. The officer taking the fall, after all, wasn't Tommy Franks, the Army general who as chief of Central Command scuttled Anthony Zinni's more robust war plan and agreed with Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld that invasion-lite was the way to go. Nope, he got the Presidential Medal of Freedom. So did former CIA chief George ("Slam Dunk") Tenet and L. Paul "Jerry" Bremer, who as Iraqi viceroy fired the entire Iraqi army, a move now widely seen as laying the groundwork for a sustained insurgency. And it wasn't the fellow who replaced Franks, John Abizaid, a fine Army officer by all accounts but one who also stressed the need for a "light footprint" inside Iraq that merely dragged out the death and dying on both sides. He'll retire soon to praise and pension. And General George Casey, Abizaid's underling and overall commander inside Iraq for the past 30 months, has just won promotion to Army chief of staff. That's why the firing of Major General George Weightman — the guy running Walter Reed Army Medical Center for the past six months — seems so out of line. The Army brass ousted him 10 days after the Washington Post exposed the squalid living conditions — and lassez-faire attitude from hospital staff — that many outpatients experienced. Weightman was replaced, at least temporarily, by Lieutenant General Kevin Kiley, the commander of U.S. Medical Command. But there are two things wrong with that, Army insiders say. Weightman was actually trying to fix problems that arose during the tenure of his predecessor in the job — and that man was none other than Kiley.
Another Senior NCO and I discussed this topic this morning. The conditions at WRMC didn't happen within the last 6 months. MG Weightman has been scapegoated. Piss poor....piss poor!
Hey bfm31c, glad to see you still checking in here. Interesting that you concur with the article. I suppose I can understand why they scapegoated the guy (fingerpointing is an art in Washington), but why the hell replace him with the guy who helped cause the problems in the first place? It doesn't give one much confidence in how things are done.
P-O-L-I-T-C-S Firing a guy makes the less than up to speed, like 60% of the public, feel satisfied that something is being done. A measure that's as American as apple pie.
On the news tonite apparently they have commisioned a group to study the whole VA medical system.. from the hospitals, down to the clinics.. apparently these long neglected services are finally getting some needed attention. But then again might be a white wash.. or might be someone else fault. Does Rumsfield have any responsibility in this??
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070303/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/walter_reed Somebody else is of the opinion that he was scapegoated. Very interesting.
Maybe some truth to this. But in some (mostly) bygone cultures, he might have committed hari-kari, been taken out and shot, or had his family taken from him. CYA is an old tradition. //
What's your point, Buster? How can this appear to be anything other than the classic scapegoating that it appears to be? Replacing the general with his predecessor? Are you suggesting that it's somehow Weightman's dismissal is not so bad because he didn't put a pistol in his mouth? This whole thing is another indication - as if we needed one - that the administration and the military brass is without a scrap of honor. Congress as well has been maliciously negligent.
I'm confused at your reply as well, Fogbuster. The SecDef canned the SecArmy for firing the wrong guy. It seems that SecDef Gates isn't going to allow MG Weightman to take the fall for this. If anything I believe he is demanding true accountability for the matter, instead of the knee-jerk head chop that former SecArmy Harvey tried. Let me know what you mean please, I'm curious as to what you are saying. Thanks.
I'd love to see one of these generals stand up and raise holy hell when they get "goated" like this. I know they won't out of training, etc. Bush and his cult of pasty-faced wierdos need to get smacked around by one of these guys eventually. I hope we get to see it.
Asked before and will ask again, does Rumsfield have any complicity in this matter.. he was in charge for 6+ years.
I think that this is lower level than that. The WRMC Commander and CSM, as well as the MEDCOM Commander and CSM would be the people I would think should have had knowledge of the matter.
That's definitely a good thing. My wife and I talked about being broken by our jobs and how well we've managed to avoid that in life while not getting rich...oh well...we're happy instead!
OK, on second blush, it seems the guy fired is being replaced by his predecessor, the one allegedly responsible for the mess. So, now it is very easy: watch what the new (old) guy does. If conditions continue to be bad, then take him to the firing squad at dawn (blanks only). Then retire his ass. If, on the other hand, things *improve*, then it looks like this guy that is being martyred by some was maybe not the boy scout he's being made out to be (by some). Time will tell. The problem here, as is so often the case in the media, is this is a fan-splatter today, but will there be any follow up in six months to talk about how this change turned out? Maybe. Buried on page 72, two inches of print, down at the bottom, most likely. And ten seconds of air time, at most. //
MG Weightman was only in command for 6 months and it is documented that he was aware of the problem and was taking steps to fix it. I am betting with the firing of the SecArmy that MG Weightman may be back.
It is easy to find a visible scapegoat, more difficult to find out who in the chain of command who allowed this to occur by inaction and lack of focus on the veteran. The poor conditions at our VA system should is not a shock to anyone who has spent time in these facilities, some are good.. but there are serious deficiencies. The buck has to stop somewhere.
Bush was in the White House for 8 months and they're still blaming him for 9/11, they never mention the plans and the training the Muslims were doing for 9/11 right here in our own country all through the ninties while the President was trying to have sex with anybody he could get his slimey hands on. The hospital thing isn't the only disgraceful thing that is going on in this country and this government and there is plenty of blame on both sides. :bricks:
There is no "both sides". The POTUS is the CIC. He is responsible for the conditions at military and VA hospitals...period. He's been the CIC for 61/2 years. How much time does he need to get his act together? At the very least, Rummy needed to do something and didn't.

Well since i believe in what the bible says, i'm not too worried. Things happen for a reason. We weren't meant to live forever here.
i am consern but the bible says there will be a world after this one.
Oh I get so anoyed with people who don't give a darn for the environment grrrrrrr It is dieing so quickly. People don't seem to realise that trees give us air and at the rate we are cutting trees in the amizon rainforests we will run out of air and soon nature it's selfand it's all for profit, money doesn't that just make you sick
Just don't worry your pretty head too much. No one is going anywhere fast. The enviroment is our responsibility, but changing things is like stepping in front of a mac truck.
The palnet is just starting its recycling process, first it has to kill all living creatures that inhabits her, then a new form of life will come from our ashes.
why we gotta kill animals? killing animals is wrong!!!!
to tell the truth, i really don'r care as long as i'm still alive.
I care about the environment but I don't trust most environmentalists because I don't believe they really care about the environment. Most of today's "environmentalists" are communist liberals trying to camoflage their true goals. They would trash the world in a heartbeat if they knew doing so would put them in charge. Others are just falling in line because they want others to believe they are "sensitive".
Whatever we do, we should not leave the care of the environment in the hands of the environmentalists. Let those guys take over and we'll be living in a nightmare Soviet style banana republic. Their idea of caring for the environment will be to slaughter anybody who disagrees with them--just like the Soviets. Oh, yeah. We're trying to clean up the environment and you're exhaling too much CO2 so we're going to put you and your family in a concentration camp and then execute you. Such are their true goals...

Ubaldo Jimenez throws 3 wild pitches as Rockies lose 2 of 3 to Pirates
DENVER -- The Pittsburgh Pirates used new blood and old knowledge to beat the Colorado Rockies on Sunday.
Xavier Paul had two hits in his first start for Pittsburgh and former Rockies reliever Joe Beimel pitched out of a jam in the sixth inning to lift the Pirates to an 8-4 win.Paul was claimed off waivers from the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday and made an immediate impact. He hit a two-run triple to key a four-run rally in the second and added a single in the fourth."My mindset going into the game was just have fun," he said. "To come up with a big hit, it feels great."Paul, who joined the team Thursday, had his first multihit game since July 20, 2010."He was on base three times, stole a base, handled his chances in left field, so it was a good first start for him," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said.Charlie Morton pitched into the sixth inning for his third win, Garrett Jones had two hits and Andrew McCutchen, Lyle Overbay and Pedro Alvarez also had two hits each for the Pirates, who took two of three at Coors Field. Pittsburgh won its fourth road series of the season, matching its total from the 2010 season.Colorado ace Ubaldo Jimenez (0-2) struggled again. He threw three wild pitches, tying a club record, and his ERA rose to 7.20 through four starts."Before, I was trying to get my velocity back," he said. "Right now I don't have the control."Dexter Fowler and Todd Helton had two hits each for the Rockies.Jimenez allowed four runs on six hits, struck out six and walked four. He needed 88 pitches to get through four innings in his shortest outing of the season. Last year, Jimenez failed to pitch into the sixth twice in 33 starts and dominated hitters en route to a 15-1 record at the All-Star break."Ubaldo lacked consistency today," Rockies manager Jim Tracy said. "He did not command, he had deep counts."Morton (3-1) battled until the sixth when Seth Smith led off with a single and Chris Iannetta drew a one-out walk. Mike Crotta relieved and walked pinch-hitter Jonathan Herrera to load the bases. Fowler followed with a double to make it 8-4, but Beimel came on to strike out Alfredo Amezaga on three pitches and retire Helton on a deep fly to left."I kept him in my back pocket. Nobody knows this ballpark on our staff better than him," Hurdle said. "He pitches with a slow heartbeat, he's not going to get rattled, and when he's good and effective and hitting his spots he's tough to put the barrel on."Beimel, who was with the Rockies last season, said the familiarity worked both ways."They know me pretty well, too," he said. "I don't think it's coincidence the only two guys who struck out were two that weren't here last year. The other guys knew what I was going to throw them and they know my strengths and weaknesses."The Pirates jumped on Jimenez in the second inning. Ryan Doumit led off with a walk, Alvarez singled to put runners at the corners and Ronny Cedeno's bunt down the first base line gave Pittsburgh a 1-0 lead.Jimenez retired the next two batters before Paul tripled to right-center and Jones doubled to center to make it 4-0."Ubaldo's a great pitcher, but he made a mistake," Paul said. "You've got to make him pay for it."The Rockies broke through in the third on Helton's two-out single that scored Fowler from second to make it 4-1. Ryan Spilborghs cut the lead to 4-2 with a pinch-hit single to score Smith in the fourth.The Pirates broke the game open with a four-run fifth against reliever Esmil Rogers. Morton knocked in his second career RBI on a sacrifice fly and Jones had a two-run single to make it 8-2.Game notes
Four pitchers held the Colorado record with three wild pitches. Jimenez was the last to do it, on April 25, 2008. ... Pirates OF Jose Tabata (right hamstring) was held out of the lineup.

2011 Mercedes-Benz E350 Reviews and Owner Comments
2011 Mercedes-Benz E350Visitor, Pilot Mountain, NC, July 01, 2014 14:54Bought this 2011 E350 last month. 42k miles. She's a beaut. I have owned Merc diesels in the past and was looking for a Bluetec, but settled on the V6 4Matic. I love this car's looks, everything about it. I've missed having a Mercedes for a number of years. I owned an 'E' class in the early 80's that was a 4Matic and almost bankrupted me for that very reason. This go round, I purchased an extended warranty up to 100k miles. The Comand mouse knob had to be replaced under warranty. That's about the only thing I could find wrong. Someone stripped the car of the owner's manual (I'm sure it's on EBay now) and the first aid kit. You know what a car is worth when there's an EBay demand for the owner's manual. At any rate, this car gets a lot of compliments and I love it.Flag ThisLike | 1 person likes this1
2011 Mercedes-Benz E350Broleen, New City, NY, April 24, 2013 17:15So far I am very pleased with my 2011E350. When I step on the gas hard my neck snaps back and every car in my rear view mirror disappears. The sound system rocks. I wish it would have come with leather interior though. It's in the shop now for what I suspect is a failed gateway module. To be contd....RookieFlag ThisLike0
2011 Mercedes-Benz E350tbone1, Boca Raton, FL, September 08, 2011 01:10I have been experiencing four dead batteries within the first thousand miles (dealer replaced battery). Key recognition issues, which also had to be replaced. Obviously, there are issues draining the batteries overnight, and I driving the car every day doesn't make a difference. Massage chair started malfunctioning, and continued running after shutting the car off. On a few occasions, we would start the car and it wouldn't go into reverse or drive until you shut the car off, locked the doors and started all over again. Unfortunately the car was service 21 days out of 30 at the dealership. Hopefully, Mercedes-Benz can fix these problems. Overall, I'm a little bit disappointed with the reliability aspect of this vehicle and certainly didn't expect this at all. On the other hand, we really love this car!RookieFlag ThisLike | 1 person likes this1
2011 Mercedes-Benz E350Visitor, Milwaukee, WI, April 10, 2011 00:57I love the looks of the car. The BlueTec diesel gets great mileage. Had a rattle in the driver's seatbelt assembly repaired and one of the center wood panels replaced due to a loose anchor. There is a known problem with the keyless entry, but no fix yet. Sometime the car cannot recognize the key when you touch the inside door handle. Also, sometimes the car will not start with the pushbutton requiring you to remove the button and insert the key. This can be a pain, but happens infrequently. Hoping MB comes up with a fix soon..Flag ThisLike0

FTC Clears Twitter In Obama Hacking Incident
- |
- 1:21 pm |
- Permalink
The Federal Trade Commission announced Thursday that Twitter had addressed seven security vulnerabilities which allowed a hacker to gain access to several accounts last year — including that of then-candidate Barack Obama. The agreement ends a probe that could lead to fines of up to $16,000 per infraction, should Twitter disobey the resulting consent order.
In addition to citing security vulnerabilities, the FTC claims Twitter misled its users by promising that their accounts were secure when they were not. However, Twitter has shored up all seven vulnerabilities to the feds' satisfaction, and says it solved most of the problems soon after the accounts were breached in January and April of 2009.
"When a company promises consumers that their personal information is secure, it must live up to that promise," said FTC Bureau of Consumer Protection director David Vladeck in a statement. "Consumers who use social networking sites may choose to share some information with others, but they still have a right to expect that their personal information will be kept private and secure."
The decision will likely be finalized as a consent order after a pro forma 30-day public comment period.
In January 2009, a hacker guessed an all-lowercase administrative password that was an actual word, gaining access to "numerous" Twitter accounts – including that of Barack Obama — resetting their passwords and posting some of the new passwords online. Nine of these accounts were used by the hacker or others to send messages. Obama's Twitter followers, for instance, received an offer for $500 worth of free gasoline. The FTC mentioned that Fox News' account was also used to send at least one fraudulent message.
Note to social networks: If you want to draw federal scrutiny, allow hackers access to the account of the president (then, the president-elect). But Twitter's security woes didn't end there.

Music service Spotify launches in U.S.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Spotify, a digital music service already popular in Europe, is now available in the United States.
Spotify lets users listen to songs on computers and mobile devices. It offers access to more than 15 million songs and gives users the ability to add digital music files that they already own. It also allows users to create online profiles of their music preferences, favorite artists and playlists, which can then be shared with other Spotify users.
The Swedish company is launching its service in the U.S. on Thursday. People can request invites to join on its website.
Spotify is offering a free, ad-supported version, as well as two subscription plans that do not include ads. A $5-a-month plan lets users access music on their computers and $10-a-month plan includes access on cell phones and other mobile devices, too.
The free version will be available for only six months, according to a report in the San Francisco Chronicle.
Launched in 2008 to offer a legal alternative to online music piracy, Spotify currently has more than 10 million registered users and more than 1.6 million paying subscribers.
Helping to make the introduction possible, ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) cut a licensing agreement giving Spotify rights to stream the works of over 415,000 songwriter, composer and music publisher members of ASCAP. The agreement runs through 2013.

Sportsfriends narrowly gets funded on KickstarterAs of just a few days ago, it seemed very possible that Sportsfriends -- the multiplayer-focused, four-game compendium that includes Johann Sebastian Joust, BaraBariBall, Super Pole Riders, and Hokra -- wouldn't be able to meet its $150,000 goal on Kickstarter. Thankfully, the campaign pulled through and was funded today. I had expected this to garner more support than it did based on how passionate some people have been about these games (J.S. Joust, in particular) and the pretty solid list of supported platforms (PlayStation 3, Windows, Mac, and Linux). Not that it particularly matters now, but it was interesting to see this all play out. You did it, folks. Comments not appearing? Anti-virus apps like Avast or some browser extensions can cause this. Easy fix: Add [*].disqus.com to your software's white list. Tada!

May 5th is at last upon us!! So both a happy second year of shadow Italy and helloooo demo release!!
Info can be found on there, yes!~~
We now have a deadline~! May 5th, Shadow Italy's original conception day, is the day we plan to send out the download of the reboot of Dreamtalia!! So about a month~
Yes you heard right. After all of the time of saying it will not be available for years because we wanted to release it all at once, a lot of conversations have been made and the deicision is being made to give out a playable version of Dreamtalia from chapters 1-8.
Originally we weren't going to, to keep it like HetaOni. But really, we don't have that kind of fame for it to spread. With the hiatus everything is dimming a little, at least I've noticed. So to help save the fandom, we're putting this out.
However, our truly wonderful coder Skitzen is working extremely hard to get it going by a certain special date, adding in new graphics, updating some events and yes even spellchecking the diolouge. I wish we could do more to show her how much we appreciate her work, thats for sure!
So yes. Playable version will be up within either this month or the next. We are not for sure on it. However because of this, the hiatus will be running longer due to working on old material compared to adding in new material. Hopefully this can help the hiatus go by a bit better!

Fiorentina president Andrea Della Valle has revealed winger Juan Cuadrado will be staying at the club, ending speculation of a move to Barcelona.
Following a successful World Cup campaign with Colombia, Cuadrado was linked with a move away from the Stadio Artemio Franchi, with reportedly interested in the 26-year-old.
In Brazil, Cuadrado was matched only by Germany's Toni Kroos in the assists chart, setting up four goals for Colombia as well as netting a penalty in their 4-1 win over Japan.
Cuadrado, who started his career with Independiente Medellin, has scored 19 goals and provided 16 assists in 121 Serie A appearances and Della Vale is delighted to retain his services.
"Cuadrado remains in Florence, he confirmed to me this morning that he will stay," he told the Italian press.
"We can say it with certainty. Juan has confirmed to us he will to stay. I think it's a big gift."
It will come as a relief to Fiorentina head coach Vincenzo Montella, who was quoted in La Nazione last month as saying: "I have never thought of losing Juan.
"He's been here in the past, he is here now and he will be here in the future."

Multicolumn Text on the Fly with New AS3 TLF Text Classes in Flash CS5. We show how to use the new AS3 text layout classes: TextFlow, ContainerController, TextLayoutFormat, and properties like TextFlow.flowComposer to lay out and format text programmatically.
In our example, the number of columns in the layout can be changed on the fly by dragging a slider. Click the screenshot to open Flash movie. Download. FlexLayouts. Spark layouts with Flex 4. As with most other features of the new Spark architecture, the new layouts are in fact based on the already powerful MX layout system. Flex 3 developers will feel at home with the general execution flow, APIs, and layout logic. However, there are also a number of additions and changes that are driven by the Spark goal of more modular design. Common characteristics. Flex Layout – Types de Containers (Canvas, Form, Box, Grid …) Flex 4 and the Text Layout Framework. One of my favorite things about Flex 4 is that it now includes the Text Layout Framework (TLF) as the basis of many Spark text components such as RichText, RichEditableText, TextArea, and TextInput as well as any other components that utilize any of these as part of another component, such as the ComboBox, which includes a TextInput control for example.
You now have fine-grained control over text and text flow and can do some really amazing things with your UIs. This framework is extensive and I recently took some time to go through it all while building samples for Tour de Flex. I'd like to share some information I gathered while doing so. The Text Layout Framework is included in Flex 4 via the textLayout.swc.
This swc contains three combined SWC's including: • textLayout_core • textLayout_conversion • textLayout_edit.

Anil, N and Deshpande, SM (2004) Low Dissipative Modified KFVS (M-KFVS) Method. FM-22-2004.
fm-2004-22.pdf Download (877Kb) |
To capture the discontinuties and other flow features accurately, a numerical scheme should have less dissipation. The first order Kinetic Flux Vector Split (KFVS) scheme is found to be more dissipative. However, higher order kinetic schemes have been developed but they require more points in the stencil and consume more computational time. In this report we propose a modified KFVS method based on modified CIR (MCIR) splitting with molecular velocity dependent dissipation control functions. The different choices for the dissipation control function and the underlying physical arguments are presented. The expressions for the m-KFVS fluxes are derived. The m-KFVS method has been successfully applied to 1D Euler test cases. Numerical results have shown that the m-KFVS method captures the discontinuties more sharply and gives near second order accuracy in smooth regions by still using the first order stencil.

Yeeehaaa XD
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Very nice indeed! Although I consider the original track to be more energetic, this one was kinda slow in comparison. Still, that would be for the genre you adapted this track for.
Amazing adaptation anyways!
Rated 4 / 5 stars
I love Mario
However, as cool as it is, I prefer originality over rearrangement. That's just the music snob in me coming out I guess. Aside from that slight bias I have, I just love gettin' down to this kinda stuff. Makes me want watch some Charlie Chaplin while playing some classic Mario.
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars
There were so many notes off-key and extra notes I lost count of them, and I mean that as a bad thing. When you're doing remixes of a song, try not to add so many extra beats in some places while missing beats in other places. This is, at best, mediocre.

Ultimate Dinosaurs
October 10, 2014 - April 12, 2015 - All Day at Science Center of Iowa
401 W. Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway
Millions of years ago, the supercontinent Pangaea broke apart, and dinosaurs became passengers on these drifting land masses. The result? Dinosaurs with unusual – and sometimes bizarre – features that are different from the ones we know and love.
Based on new, groundbreaking research from scientists around the world,Ultimate Dinosaurs reveals a new breed of dinosaurs that evolved in isolation in South America, Africa and Madagascar. From the tiny Buitreraptor to the massive Giganotosaurus (T. rex's bigger, badder cousin), Ultimate Dinosaurs is a fascinating study of species you may not have met before.

ABC News' Matt Stuart Reports: Mitt Romney is refocusing his campaign on his Michigan roots now that he has staked his campaign on a strong showing here on Tuesday.
With just five days left before the primary, the former Massachusetts governor released a new television ad which reiterates he "grew up in Michigan when Michigan was the pride of America."
Speaking before a crowd of 100 Michiganders (as Romney likes to be called) in Warren on Friday, Romney said three times that Michigan was "personal to (him)."
"Met my girlfriend here," Romney said in reference to his wife Ann, "We're still going steady. My mom and dad are buried here. My dad served as governor here. I care very deeply about the state of Michigan."
Romney, who officially announced his presidential campaign at the Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan last year, was born and raised in Michigan before working in Boston during his adult life.
"Have you ever noticed that the trees are just the right height, the people speak with no accent at all, and that most of the cars on the street are made in American?" Romney asked Friday.
But much of Romney's 12-minute speech focused not on roots but the "one state recession" in Michigan and, of course, blasting Republican nomination rival John McCain.
"Even Senator McCain the other day said, speaking with straight talk, he said, you know some jobs are gone that are never coming back. I'm not willing to accept defeat like that," said Romney, later adding, "Now everybody's interested of course because they're running for president. But what'd they do when they were in the Senate or the House for 20 years?"
Romney claims he's solely focusing on Michigan, insisting, "Well, some people might say, 'Gosh, that's awfully Michigan centric. Is this the only state you care about?' Of course not. But Michigan is in some respects like the canary in the mine shaft. . . It's not just gonna be confined to Michigan. I think some politicians think, 'Oh, too bad for Michigan.' But recognize what happens in Michigan will happen to the rest of this country."
Romney was careful not to alienate any Michigan voters in any part of the state.
When an audience member shouted "Go Blue," Romney replied, "I gotta be go blue and go green," referencing the colors of the University of Michigan and Michigan State.
