Physician Workforce:
Physician Supply Increased in Metropolitan and Nonmetropolitan Areas but Geographic Disparities Persisted

Through a variety of programs, the federal government supports the training of physicians and encourages physicians to work in underserved areas or pursue primary care specialties. GAO was asked to provide information on the physician supply and the generalist and specialist mix of that supply in the United States and the changes in and geographic distribution of physician supply in metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas. To address these objectives, GAO analyzed data on physician supply and geographic distribution from 1991 and 2001.
The U.S. physician population increased 26 percent, which was twice the rate of total population growth, between 1991 and 2001. During this period the average number of physicians per 100,000 people increased from 214 to 239 and the mix of generalists and specialists in the national physician workforce remained about one-third generalists and two-thirds specialists. Growth in physician supply per 100,000 people between 1991 and 2001 was seen in historically high-supply metropolitan areas as well as low-supply statewide nonmetropolitan areas. Between 1991 and 2001, all statewide nonmetropolitan areas and 301 out of the 318 metropolitan areas gained physicians per 100,000 people. Of those 17 metropolitan areas that experienced declines in the number of physicians per 100,000 people, only 2 had fewer total physicians in 2001 than 1991. Overall, nonmetropolitan areas experienced higher proportional growth in physicians per 100,000 people than metropolitan areas, but the disparity in the supply of physicians per 100,000 people between nonmetropolitan and metropolitan areas persisted. Nonmetropolitan counties with a large town (10,000 to 49,999 residents) had the biggest increase in physicians per 100,000 people of all county categories but their supplies per 100,000 people were still less than large and small metropolitan counties' supplies in 1991 and 2001. In written comments on a draft of this report, the Health Resources and Services Administration agreed with GAO findings of persisting disparities between metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas.

The Campus Sustainability Committee at Western Illinois University is committed to supporting student engagement with sustainability on campus and in their research. In support of this mission, the Student Sustainability Research and Project Development Fund was designated in spring 2014 to support student research, campus projects, and professional presentations in the area of sustainability. Each semester, the committee accepts and reviews applications for student projects, presentations, and research related to sustainability.
In 2014, the committee awarded funding to six of eleven applicants. Successfully funded projects included Payal Shah's (Biological Sciences) research on the impact of beaver herbivory in floodplain forest communities of the upper Mississippi; Emily Terrell and Dallas Milholland's (Theatre and Dance) theatrical project to raise awareness about unsustainable mining impacts on Alaskan fisheries, performed in Illinois, Alaska, and Washington; Norris Andriuskevicius's (RPTA) educational promotion of sustainability principles at the local Earth Fest; and Quenton Keating's (Economics and Decision Sciences) portable solar-powered charging station for educational demonstrations on campus.
The committee is once again seeking applicants from full- and part-time degree-seeking grads and undergrads from WIU. Up to $500 is available per student awardee per award period. Priority deadline is February 20. For more information, visit http://www.wiu.edu/vpas/sustainability/StuSustainFund.php

Irish Studies Program Holds O'Rorke Memorial
Tuesday, July 2, marked the 150th anniversary of the death of Colonel Patrick O'Rorke, and the St. John Fisher College Irish Studies Program, along with the Col. Patrick O'Rorke Memorial Society, held a commemoration event at his gravesite at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery.
O'Rorke was born in County Cavan in 1837 and emigrated to Rochester in 1842. He attended Martin Luther King Jr. School No. 9, and graduated first in his class from West Point in 1861. He was killed on the Little Round Top at the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863.
The memorial ceremony included a musket and artillery salute and "Taps" was played by a local bugler. Michael Corporan, a current School No. 9 student, read President Lincoln's Gettysburg Address to the crowd, which included one of O'Rorke's relatives from Ireland. Father Leo Hetzler, Professor Emeritus, offered the Benediction.
The Ancient Order of Hibernians, the Ladies' Ancient Order of Hibernians, and the Gates Keystone Pipe Band also participated in the ceremony. In addition, the Rochester Historical Society had artifacts from O'Rorke on display, including his uniform, spy glass, correspondence, and compass.
Last fall, the College and the O'Rorke Memorial Society dedicated a bust of O'Rorke, which now sits in the College's Lavery Library.
School No. 9 student Michael Corporan reads Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, as O'Rorke Memorial Society president Tom O'Connell stands by.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used as credit towards that service with that business for an additional three months.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher as credit towards a bungy jump, for another three months.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

You Say Goodbye and I Say Hello
Last week, as it was my last week in Rochefort working at Pierre Loti Coll�ge, some kids, mostly the younger ones showed that they were sad to see me go. I could tell that they really have enjoyed my weekly visits in their class. There were two classes specifically that did something nice for me. They were both the sixi�mes, so they are 11&12 years old. In one class, some students gave me candy and somebody started a little going away card that all the ...
The History of Rope...and Rochefort
... The location of Rochefort was ideal because of its location. It is inland a bit, but there is still access to it by the Charente river. At the mouth of the river, there are a few different islands that also aided in protecting it. La Corderie Royal (Royal Rope Factory) was a symbol that "France was fighting back against the naval power of the English".
In about the middle of our visit, a museum employee gathered everybody up to come back ...
A Piece of History Coming to Life
... to a replica they could
make) but they didn't have the same plans that were used in the 1700's, they had
a couple of drawings and sketches to follow and they rebuilt the hull by
following templates to a scale of 1. They also wanted to keep the ship
historically accurate as they rebuilt it, but of course had to follow modern
day regulations. The ship was also built using the traditional building
Feeling Blessed
... will be going out for Chinese/Asian food next time we do something.
On top of those two "events" to look forward to, my teacher in Courcon has an old assistant coming back from Australia to visit next week and she said she'd invite me over for a visit. As well as another teacher inviting me over to her house the Wednesday evening before our vacation in February, then I will go to school with her the Thursday morning.
I hope I ...
Back Again
... and it ended up arriving 40 minutes early because of an unexpected tail wind apparently. So it seemed pretty short. Bonus! I was super happy to get a ride back to Rochefort from a fellow teacher who was in Paris for the second week of the break as well. That was a double bonus and I'm very thankful. So it only cost 35 euros instead of 100 and some odd euros (the prices of the trains were abnormally high) and I had some good company.

What is best way to implement oauth consumer in cakephp. Should I write plugin based on oauth.php or is there any other solution?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Stack Overflow is a question and answer site for professional and enthusiast programmers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
It depends on what you're going to use OAuth for, but it'll probably be integrated in the application you're developing, so writing a plugin might be the least desirable way to tackle the problem.
There's a third-party Vendor/Component package by cakebaker for Cake, unfortunately it only supports 1.2/1.3 and the 2.0 branch isn't actively worked on at the moment, so it seems. No information on how well it will integrate with the current stable version of Cake.
CakeDC also hosts an OAuth library which might contain the functionality you're looking for. There's also a 2.0 branch which is actively maintained.

Western Digital VelociRaptor 1TB 10K RPM Hard Disk Drive Review - Benchmarks - AS SSDWestern Digital's Raptor was a big hit with enthusiasts until the dawn of the SSD. Can the new 1TB release resurrect this species or will solid state be an extinction level event for this iconic product?
AS SSD Benchmark
Version and / or Patch Used: 1.2.3577.40358
Developer Homepage: Alex Intelligent Software
Product Homepage: Alex Intelligent Software
Download here: http://www.alex-is.de/PHP/fusion/downloads.php?cat_id=4&download_id=9
AS determines the performance of Solid State Drives (SSD). The tool contains four synthetic as well as three practice tests. The synthetic tests are to determine the sequential and random read and write performance of the SSD. These tests are carried out without the use of the operating system caches.
In all synthetic tests the test file size is 1GB. AS can also determine the access time of the SSD, the access of which the drive is determined to read through the entire capacity of the SSD (Full Stroke). The write access test is only to be met with a 1 GB big test file. At the end of the tests three values for the read and write as well as the overall performance will be issued. In addition to the calculated values which are shown in MB/s, they are also represented in IO per seconds (IOPS).
Note: AS SSD is a great benchmark for many tests, but since Crystal Disk Mark covers a broader range of 4K tests and HD Tune Pro covering sequential speeds, we will only use the Copy Benchmark from AS SSD.
- Copy Benchmark
The increased size of the DRAM buffer has really turned the VelociRaptor into a rocket ship when transferring files. The VelociRaptor 1TB is just as fast as many of the industry leading SSDs in this task.

Out for a pleasant days shooting on a rather grey winters day on 7th February 2010 with some other RB members in Edinburgh Scotland.
Located towards the eastern end of the Canongate at the bottom of the Royal Mile, not far from Holyrood Palace, is one of the most picturesque closes (or passageways) of Edinburgh's Old Town. Despite its 'olde-worlde' appearance, most of White Horse Close is rather more recent than the 1623 date it displays. In fact this date-stone was modified in the 1930s, having previously recorded an implausible 1523.
This was the site of the Royal Mews in the sixteenth century, and later was known by several names including Laurence Ord's Close and Davidson's Close. Ord rebuilt the existing tenement and erected the White Horse Inn and coaching stables in 1623 which he named in honour of Mary, Queen of Scots white palfrey. It was from here that the coach left Edinburgh for London. The journey took a week. Prince Charles Edward Stuart's officers were quartered at the Inn when they entered Edinburgh in 1745.
The current name, White Horse Close, is probably derived from the name of the Inn.
The close was rebuilt as worker's houses in 1889 and completely reconstructed in the vernacular style by Frank Mears & Partners (1961-4). The result is described by Gifford et. al. in the Edinburgh volume of the 'Buildings of Scotland' as so blatantly fake that it can be acquitted of any intention to deceive, but remains a small fantasy worth experiencing.
William Dick (1793 – 1866), founder of the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies (now part of the University of Edinburgh) was born here.
The buildings in White Horse Close are part of a group of buildings which are Category B Listed by Historic Scotland (Ref: 28427).
The Old and New Towns of Edinburgh are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

So this is Christmas - and what have you done?
'Tai chi?' says our district councillor at the door.
'Sorry, no, I've only come to post a letter.' She seems a little too eager to rope me into something I really don't want to do.
So I get in the queue to send off a very late Christmas card to an old Bridport friend now living in Australia. A dour Mr Putter is standing behind me and in a hurry but I stand my ground because I've got things to do, people to see.
And then I become aware of the relaxing, oriental music. I turn around and look across into the main body of the hall. A crowd of grey-haired onlookers are gazing wistfully at the gentle scene unfolding before them.
Six ladies are doing a tai chi demonstration, arms slowly revolving and legs-a-pointing like some very weird line-dance routine.
The music stops and the hall is buzzing, with people exchanging Christmas cards and gossip.
We may have lost our shop and pub, but this community is still thriving. We've got the Village Hall Arms coming up on Christmas Eve. And with a can-do attitude, who knows what the new year will bring?
So I wish you good tidings to you and your kin. And a selection of photos from my year.
That's about it.
Love Maddie x

"These turned out great. We chose the semi gloss over the matte and we highly recommend that. We ordered these because we liked the wording to announce she had already graduated... and not an invitation to graduation. We ordered the envelopes they suggested for regular postage, as well."
"Very happy with my purchase of Stenciled Scholar announcements. Had them done in red with a black and white photo (school colors). Love the stencil look. Great quality! Got lots of compliments."
"I wanted a unique, simple card that would stand out from the sea of mini-collages typically used for graduation announcements. This design was exactly what I hoped to find! I used a black and white photo of my son as a young child on the cover, a color photo of my son as he is today (really handsome, as objective as only a mom can be) and as a surprise on the back of the card, included a tiny cap & gown headshot of my son when he graduated pre-K with a small caption "Proud Graduate of..." The technical customer support team was extremely helpful when I ran into a problem with one of the photos. In fact, credit goes to the customer service rep who suggested adding the little surprise photo on the back of the card. I received many compliments from family and friends on how much they loved the announcement. The highest praise came from the toughest critic...my son :)"
"This postcard was so easy to personalize. My daughter was able to place her favorite pictures in the spaces provided, and I was able to post a personal note on the back. We both liked the casual feel of the announcement, and we received many compliments on the card from our recipients. They also appreciated the less than formal feel - most of my daughters friends really hated the formal announcement their school selected for them. And everyone who received one stated their appreciation of the personal note where I listed her academic accomplishments. :-)"
"My friends who received the announcement were VERY impressed by the clarity of the pictures, the colors and the quality of the paper stock used. Best of all, the order came 5 days before the estimated delivery time and that made all the difference in the world for my ability to get them addressed and mailed out! This is the second time I have ordered product from Tiny Prints and both experiences have been seamless and fast without compromising the quality of the card. If you have a special announcement or creative card you want to send, this is the company you want! Worth every penny:)"

Zack Hample Makes Baseball Catch Of A Lifetime
Since 1990, Zack Hample has been snagging baseballs from the stands — nearly 7,000 at 50 different Major League stadiums. This past weekend in Massachusetts, a ball dropped from a helicopter 1,200 feet in the air. From that height, a very fast ball, so Hample was decked out in catchers gear.

It is a real currency.
It is certainly a real currency. Being an unstable currency, doesn't change that it is one.
Your examples of instability are completely inverted: If the market value of a currency goes up, people want to lend because they expect their their interest and principal to appreciate, and if value goes down, people want to borrow because they believe it will be easier to repay.
I do agree with your main point, and I believe Bitcoin is nothing more than a completely worthless, speculative asset, that will eventually collapse.
What we SHOULD be doing, instead of playing politics.

You get incorrect labels even at national exhibitions. However, thanks to a kind gentleman from France I was able to ID it (only the pollen parent Vandopsis gigantea was given). The other parent is Renanthera monachica. It has the flower shape of the Vandopsis and the color of the Renanthera. Not enormous in size.

Staining wide plank pine floors
We are sanding and refinishing our the floors in our whole house. Most of our house is white oak. Our family room is wide plank pine with some knots in it. We love the floor, but it has yellowed from years and layers of polyurethane.
We plan to have the floor professionally sanded, stained and top coated.
Has any one out there successfully used the same stain on oak and pine and been happy with the result?
Is there any special preparation for the pine floor to help it evenly accept the stain?
Thank you for your help!
Ive stained many pine floors.
Oak and pine take colors different. The same basic shades will be similar like if you choose a red tone. They both will have the red tone.
But pine doesnt like stain that much. Some people will try all sorts of things.
It all depends on your floor guys.
Make sure they have stained pine before.
For me i always waterpop pine with any color stain. It works for me.
When choosing color make sure you see the color applied to your floor to make sure you see what you are getting.
Hi Greg,
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I will ask for stain samples prior to final decision.
Do you use a pre stain product to help the pine accept stain evenly? If so, which product do you like?
Which stain manufacturer do you like? Do you use oil or water based poly?
We are thinking about a medium shade of brown with no red.
We've used the same process Greg uses with success. Pine is a closed grain wood that doesn't soak in stain evenly. Applying a thin coat of water before staining makes the wood "fuzzy" so it absorbs stain better. After water popping we generally do three coats of oil poly.
I don't recommend mixing oil poly and water-borne poly though and applying one too quickly over the other might be problematic.
Pre-stains are usually sealers that controls stain penetration. Using it on the Pine floor might make the stain more uniform but I think it would also make it much lighter.
I haven't had any problem with it either but that's because I haven't put water-borne immediately over oil modified. I've been advised not to do so within 30 days by finish manufacturers. Of course maybe they're just covering their butts but with the potential cost of having to fix something if it goes wrong, I can't blame them.

Mindy Norton
Mindy Norton has been "Speaking of Pets" on Alabama Public Radio since 1995.
She grew up in Birmingham, Alabama and graduated from UAB. She got her first real pet at the age of 9 when her family adopted a mixed Boston Terrier pup they named "Scamp". As an adult, a friend invited her to help with a humane society event, and that was the beginning of her involvement with group efforts to help animals. Since then, she has been on the boards of directors of three animal welfare organizations, serving as president of two of them.
For seven years, Mindy wrote and recorded a weekday spot called "Pet Patrol" for Birmingham's WBHM Public Radio, for which she won an Obelisk Award in 1979. After she and her husband (and three cats) moved to Tuscaloosa, she talked the station manager at the time into giving her two minutes every Saturday morning to talk about pets and pet care.
Since 2006, "Speaking of Pets" has been available as a podcast, consistently one of APR's most popular offerings. (In fact, staff members have referred to her as the "podcast queen"!) That's no surprise to Mindy who believes the reason for its popularity is the subject matter. "After all," she says, "I get to talk about our best friends every week!"
Her APR spot about the link between animal abuse and cruelty toward humans has been featured on the American Humane Association's website. As a volunteer, Mindy feels she is so blessed to have a soap box with a microphone in front of it – plus, she gets to help two causes at the same time, animal welfare and Alabama Public Radio.

The Space
Private street, parking for two vehicles, a broker with gandens and perimeter wall, ventileted rooms neat, clean bathroom, tv. waired and wireless internet acces, guest are trated not as such but as the family. It will be your second home in a tropical paradise.
Manuel made us feel welcome at his home. He was very kind, and every morning he gave us a ride to downtown because it's a bit long walking distance. His wife, Agnes, was also very kind to visitors. They gave us fruit and coffee for breakfast.
The home is locatde in a safe neighbourhood. It's about a 20 minute walk to the centre of the city. I only had a chance to speak with Manuel once since he was working most of the time. He's a nice guy. His wife is usually home. Their dog is cute. There was no hot water in the shower.
We enjoyed meeting with Manuel and his wife and appreciated Manuel´s willingness to drive us ( for a fee) on several occasions. Unfortunately the room we stayed in was separate from the house and did not contain a double bed. We also had to enter the house from the outside to use the bathroom, so a middle of the night visit to the facilities was not possible. Finally, Manuel might not yet have contacted this site to inform them that the prices quoted here are not the actual prices being charged.
Very cool guy. He came pick me at the airport and we had a good time around the town. Definately check out Manuel if you are in Liberia. (the dog is awesome too!)
We had fun staying with Manuel and Agnes! They are a wonderful family and very welcoming and open. I would definitely stay again next time I pass through Liberia, it was a great introduction to Liberia and to Costa Rica, and it was really nice to chat with Manuel and Agnes as well as other people staying.
Manuel and his family are lovely hosts.
His wife welcomed us with fresh fruit upon our arrival and then made us a delicioso traditional Costan Rican breakfast of Casado.
It was amazing and kept us going all day.
We were given a room with a twin bed and 2 mattresses which made it a little cozy for dos personas.
The area was calm and quiet.
The dogs are sweet (especially Aloo) but definitely did a good job of keeping watch on the house. Bark bark.
Overall it was a good experience and we would stay there again.
Manuel picked us up at the airport, made sure we were super comfortable, and provided us with a great stay...highly recommended

Soy muy sincero, realista, tengo clara la diferencia entre el valor a lo material y el valor a lo espiritual. He aprendido a valorar a las personas y a las cosas de acuerdo a su importancia. Trato de disfrutar el presente, olvidando el pasado y sin idealizar el futuro porque no lo conozco.

Insulin Syringe Disposal
At-Home Disposal of Lancets and Insulin Syringes
Accidental needle or medical sharp sticks can spread infectious disease and cause injury. Regular blood sugar checks and insulin injections can add up to a significant number of used sharps that require proper disposal. Follow these tips to safeguard your family, community, and environment.
- Know the Law. Some states and municipalities have specific requirements for medical waste disposal. Your public works department or trash hauler can offer specifics.
- Have the Right Tools. Purchase a puncture-proof container designed for sharps disposal from your local drugstore or medical supply retailer. As an alternative, you can look around your home for a puncture-resistant container with an opening that can be easily and securely sealed, such as bleach bottles and coffee cans with a hole cut into the top. Don't choose glass due to the risk of breakage.
- Mark It Clearly. Label your sharps container "Used Medical Sharps—Do Not Recycle" with a waterproof marker so everyone who comes in contact with it will handle it appropriately.
- Use It! Put it where you'll use it—right away. Never leave a needle or syringe laying around for later disposal.
- Don't Get Stuck. After using a lancet or syringe, don't bend, cut, break, or recap the needle. Place them directly into the disposal container to avoid injury.
- Seal It. When your container is full, put the top on tightly and seal it completely with duct tape or another heavy-duty adhesive.
- Talk to Your Pharmacist. Your local pharmacy or hospital may offer a syringe bring-back or sharps disposal program that ships sharps directly to a medical waste handling company and keep them out of municipal landfills and incinerators where they have the potential to cause injury to workers.
- Dump as Directed. Find out if your municipality has specific guidelines for medical waste, and follow them. If sharps should be disposed of in the garbage, make sure your container goes into your regular garbage (not the recycling) for disposal.

If you like the UK Office
This is funny but not side splitting. The Office was great because it hits so close to home for many of us. You can feel the agony of a bad agent or bit parts. It is still fun and has great guest stars.
What an incredible series at a low price!
This was shipped in record time, and I adore the series in its entirety. I checked around for prices and Overstock was the least expensive, and they shipped it to me in no time flat. If you like "The Office," you will LOVE "Extras." Deadpan British humor that's so laugh out loud hilarious you'll be inviting your friends over to watch it with you.

Correction, my daughter just arrived from work, chick-fil-a and she had a difficult day because veterans wanted their free meals. The veterans were highly upset because this was inaccurate information. chick-fil-a was not giving free meals to veterans.
I'm a vet and the VA still hasn't sent me my Vet card, do you think I could get free stuff if I show my DD-214?
yes just make a copy of dd214 and take it with you,,, also do you have your temp print out from the v.a.?? if you do take that also,, most resturants will not say no with the dd214,,

This fuel can be used in any standard diesel engine and has paved the way to creating thousands of jobs on the local and national level.Read More
Defend the Amazon8/21/11 | | 7 comments
Can you imagine a world without the Amazon Rainforest? It is the single largest tropical rainforest in the world with ten percent of the planet's known flora and fauna. Described as the "lungs of the planet" about twenty percent of the Earth's oxygen is produced here. The Amazon also functions as a huge carbon sink storing massive amounts of C02--which if permitted to be released into the atmosphere would be catastrophic. Life on planet Earth would not be the same as we now know it.Read More

In August of 2005, like many Americans, we sat and watched with trepidation as a category five hurricane named Katrina wreaked havoc on the gulf coast.

The story unfortunately was not any better for the areas surrounding that city, with everywhere from Mississippi to Florida being effected.Read More
