The most student-friendly, contextual, and inclusive survey is now personalized, digital, and mobile for today's students.
Art History 5th edition continues to balance formal analysis with contextual art history in order to engage a diverse student audience. Authors Marilyn Stokstad and Michael Cothren- both scholars as well as teachers- share a common vision that survey courses should be filled with as much enjoyment as learning, and that they should foster an enthusiastic, as well as an educated, public for the visual arts.
This revision is the strongest and most comprehensive learning program for measuring student progress and improving student success in attaining the outcomes and goals of the art history survey course. Not only does the text address four overarching goals of the survey course, the new MyArtsLab further develops and reinforces these outcomes and skills with market-leading learning tools such as personalized study plans for each student and multimedia assets geared towards addressing different learning styles and abilities, such as chapter audio, student videos, Closer Looks, architectural panoramas and much more. The end result is a complete learning program designed to increase students' success with a personalized, digital and a highly mobile learning experience.

Ribbon (I used 1.5 inch satin ribbon)
Spray adhesive
Clear fishing line string
Hot glue gun
Scrap of felt
GLITTER! I prefer Martha Stewart brand, it sparkles like no other I've used.
To make my bows lay nice and flat on the band I used a bit of glue to tack the ribbon folded into a bow like position.
Just a dab of glue to tack it into place. Then scrunch the middle by pinching and tie with the clear string around the center. The glitter will cover the string up so just knot and trim on the backside of the bow.
Shape the bow with your fingers so that the loops are puffed. Once the glue and glitter is dry your bow will be fairly stiff so you want it to be fluffed before this step. Spray the bow liberally with the adhesive and cover with glitter. Make sure you get the whole outside surface. If you miss spots spray and cover again. Shake off the excess and allow to dry.
Hot glue the bow to your headband. Then reinforce the bond with a couple strips of matching felt.
All set. Now make one in every color! You can also attach them to alligator clips, I used a smaller ribbon for this one for a smaller head ( a toddlers ).
You can see this one needs to be tapped for excess glitter a bit more. It was getting on my photo surface. If your glitter really rubs off you can also spray it with a coat of clear spray paint. Works like a charm!

We're looking forward to seeing the 2014 Lexus IS in person next week at the Detroit Auto Show to see if its brazen design is any less polarizing in person, but Lexus (or at least its Facebook team) has dropped a not-too-subtle hint about the possible return of the SportCross body style – something in between a hatchback and station wagon. The current generation IS comes in sedan and convertible models, but this is an interesting teaser that might suggest an expanded IS lineup.

Next-gen Lexus IS design revealed to be swoopiest yet

- Jan 9, 2013
We drove it while it was covered in cloth and vinyl not long ago, but before the 2014 Lexus IS350 F-Sport gets revealed at the Detroit Auto Show and we find out everything about it, Lexus has graced us with images. In addition to the spindle grille – with an elevated waistline on the F-Sport – the coming IS gets a jagged set of dual-beam headlights with L-shaped DRLs that are, for the first time on a Lexus, separate from the main units. Further back, the side sills get a twist and in

About this font family
A Didot in 14 series & 3 widths
Designed by Jean François Porchez in 2001, Ambroise is a contemporary interpretation of various typefaces belonging to Didot's late style, conceived circa 1830, including the original forms of g, y, &; and to a lesser extent, k. These characters are found in Vibert's typefaces. Vibert was the appointed punchcutter of the Didot family during this period. It is the Black, of which sources were surest, and which was the basis for the conception of the family. In the second half of the 19th century, it was normal to find fat Didots in several widths in the catalogs of French type foundries. These same typefaces continued to be offered until the demise of the big French foundries in the 1960s. More…

Thanks for the great post. I am very pro guns. I do agree that there are laws in place for a reason, but you should not cut the good guys off from buying guns. I really like the way you worded this post. Keep up the great work. Thanks again.

May I remind Economist readers that there are perhaps 300,000,000 guns now among some 100,000,000 Americans (an undercount I believe). This represents about a third of the population, many highly skeptical of proposals and suspicious of intentions.
All that is required to defeat restrictions seen as unjust or illegal is for Americans to shrug, turn their backs, and go about their business the same as usual.
I guess you ignored this question on the poll: Which would you like to see happen? Enforce Current Laws more strictly? 46% Pass New Laws in Addition? 47% No opinion? 7%. If you are going to use polls you can't cherry pick.
Firearms Ownership: It's All or Nothing
You cannot repeal the Second Amendment.
You cannot repeal criminal behavior.
/What is the Liberal solution?
Why is it that our Congress now leaps from crisis to crisis, yet does nothing to either cure or prevent the next one? Obama and the progressives only took up gun control to exploit the Newtown tragedy. That this event occurred near the election cycle is what put it towards the front.
But, as we all know, legal registration of guns and their owners will do absolutely nothing to prevent the next tragedy. Everyone, including the anti-gun people, should know this by now. Do speeding limits do anything to prevent speeders? Have drug laws done anything to slow the flow of drugs? Will banning guns altogether prevent another shooting by someone with a "banned" weapon? Futhermore, will banning guns prevent a violently disturbed individual from killing people with an ax?
If we are to believe the empty rhetoric, outlawing guns will keep everyone safe, as the dark clouds will part to reveal the sunlight of our new Utopian paradise. Or, we could stay firmly rooted in reality, and teach people that guns in the hands of good people are a threat to no one.
We now have proof that the official account of the Sandy Hook massacre is a lie.

The NRA is completely controlled by the gun manufacturers. Just look at the composition of its board which elects itself--the members aren't allowed to vote. It may as well be the Politburo. Essentially all of you Anti-gun law posters are blissfully ignorant schills for Smith and Wesson, Remington Arms and all the other gun manufacturers.
So? In things like this the gun manufacturers aims and mine are the same.
So you'd give them money for nothing? That's their only aim: to take your money.
Even the U.S. Army has gun control
1. He readily admits to being in the old army.
2. The Army doesn't allow soldiers to carry on base because it's federal property.
3. In Afghanistan Ammo is about as tightly controlled as the unit's commander wants it to be. In some places it's like chow, line up in the morning for your top up. In others they make you count hundreds of rounds weekly and question you about any shortages.
This hardly points to a position of gun control in the Army, in fact, Soldiers are expected to be able to walk around with loaded weapons 24/7 and not have accidents.
Six thousand Americans die each year while engaged in unregulated sex. Two hundred die on the NY Subway. 600 are killed by rifles, including a few with the so called assault rifles.
Shall we ban unregulated sex, subways, and rifles?
No, but just maybe we could save a few hundred folks with the ban on assault weapons. You may change your thinking if one of those 600 killed were family members or friends. Of course, if you believe in the downfall of America, as many do, I suggest that since we're all wanting bigger weapons than others, that we go all the way and issue "Personal Nuclear weapons" to all of us and that way we could, of course, end civilization and solve the whole problem.
The only things they are banning other than magazine capacity and bayonet lugs, are things that allow your rifle to be more accurate. Yes lets get more bystanders killed! then maybe we can actually get the public support to ban all guns!
In the US the average yearly firearm mortality 1981 > 2007 = 33,000
In 2008 68% of homicides were committed with firearms, of which 71% used handguns, 5% shotguns 4% rifles and 20% other/unspecified.
So 4% of 33,000 = 1,320 per year. My numbers come from FICAP at penn, http://www.uphs.upenn.edu/ficap/, where does your figure of 600 come from ?
Between 2003 and 2010, there were 98,771 homicidal gun fatalities, and a further 399,922 non-fatal attempted homicidal shootings so that's 498,000 in that period. When you include casualties (fatal and non-fatal) from suicide, attempted suicide and accidents, the number of casualties rises to a staggering 807,354, an average of 115,336 per year, of which 71,000 are homicide or attempted homicide.
So yes, I would definitely ban handguns and assault weapon look- and fire- alikes outright, ban rifles except for range shooting and professional hunters, and limit shotguns to people who can demonstrate a need for pest control.
I carry a gun most of the time, it keeps me and the family safe.
If you look at the crime statistics you will find that where there are the fewest legal guns (poor areas) there is also more violent crime. Guns keep people and neighborhoods safer.
I carry a Fisher Space Pen most of the time. It keeps me safe.
If you look at the crime statistics you will find that where there are the fewest expensive pens (poor areas) there is also more violent crime. Expensive pens keep people and neighborhoods safer.
You're correct. ... Gun-outlawed Chicago saw 22 murders in its first 11 days of 2013.
It's axiomatic: the places with the toughest gun laws are also the most violent is all we need to know about gun control.
And the places with the most flood safeguards experience the most flood damage.
Do you guys practice confusing causation and correlation, or does it just come naturally to you?
Non-sequiturs don't cut it. ... Facts come naturally to those who take notice.
/Next time do your homework.
No, it's like getting to Carnage Hall - practice, practice, practice!
(Or, more to the point: Propaganda requires repetition.)
An you will find that the guns used were brought in from unregulated states.
There are already 20,000 to 30,000 gun laws on the books in America. Those include restrictions on possession, carry, distribution, storage, transfer, manufacture, sale, ownership, importation, and more.
/Unregulated criminal behavior is the problem; not guns.
The problem with those 20-30K laws already on the books is that they vary from State to State. Kind of like the laws still on the books about interracial marriage, women not wearing pants, and so on. Just because they are there doesn't mean that they are relevant or effective.
Like your 'women not wearing pants' --I wish criminals would not wear pants; that ALONE might have very well prevented Sandy Hook by giving people around him advanced notice that something was amiss. Which anti-guns laws are not 'relevant' or 'effective'?
/And how would another law stop a criminal who doesn't obey laws in carrying out his felonious criminal acts?
Yeah that was a good one, or how about the one where it is illegal to wear a blindfold while driving in Alabama.
As the law above, not everything on the books is relevant and I'm sure you know they are not consistent from state to state. So maybe inconsistent would be a better description of the present gun laws.
There is no law, regulation, moral code, party or ethic that will ever 'stop a criminal who doesn't obey laws'. But consistency or Federal laws that trump state might make it clearer exactly what the rules are. I know gun owners who live in NY and are barking about a person who was arrested for buying three handguns in a single day and blaming the present administration for it. But if they actually knew the laws of their state, they would know that that particular law passed in the '90's.
Federal laws; state laws .... But where is your connection between more gun laws and lower crime rates?
/Criminal Justice majors, pay attention.
The point is not more gun laws, it is more consistent gun laws. So many inconsistencies lead to confusion and mistrust.
The author used the phrase "….or to end the gun-show exception to mandatory background checks, will make it through congress." There is no "gun show exception". There is no "gun show loophole" despite what the media's attempt to misinform the public. The Federal laws do not end at the door to a gun show. At a gun show, if you buy from a federally licensed dealer, then you go through an FBI background check. If you buy from a private citizen merely selling off duplicates or trying to improve his collection, then you do not. This is no different from an exchange between friends, acquaintances, neighbors, or relatives as long as they live in the same state. If they are known to the seller as a criminal, then by law they cannot sell them a firearm. Also, there are no "unlicensed dealers" at a gun show. If a person is in the business of buying and selling guns, then by federal law he must obtain a federal firearms license and conduct background checks of all customers. The problem with a new law making everyone at a gun show undergo background checks, regardless from whom they make the purchase, is that once such a law is in place, the left will then redefine the word "gun show" as they are wont to do. We know how they operate. Some time ago, a proposed new law would have ridiculously defined my basement as a "gun show". This will put us on the path that will ultimately end in universal registration, with confiscation not far behind.

As with everything else in the politics these days, radicalism flourish and intellectual honesty is among the first victims. This is one area where some compromise could be possible if people disarmed themselves from their preconceptions.
I'll start. In general, I tend to align with the Republican view of the world in most issues, including gun ownership. Yet, I agree that the State has a LEGITIMATE INTEREST in regulating ownership and usage. There, I said it...
For example, the gun-show exception is indefensible: we cannot have a rule that is in efect everywhere, except on trade events because it inconveniences people. That said, it does NOT follow that sales on gun-shows should be banned. A State that is really agnostic about ownership and wants merely to regulate rather than ban guns (as it should be under the second amendment) would find ways of regulating without banning. For example, why not pre-license people who could buy guns in those shows? One would get a background check a priori just in case and it'd be valid for, say 1 year. Or, if you still wants to buy the gun and don't have a license, you can still do it - the police will keep it in custody while it performs the background check and will ship it to you later for a small fee. This sort of compromise would preserve one's right of ownership while accomodating the legitinate need of the State to regulate. Defending the current rule blindly (as some of the other exccesses in the status quo) is a serious violation of intellectual honesty.
Of course, the other side is an even more frequent violator of honesty. For example, adding annual deaths by suicide to the body count in the endless statistics that populate this debate can only be explained by the desire to muddy the issue. Are they seriously suggesting that people will not commit suicide if there is a gun ban? Or that criminals and the deranged will refrain to acquire weapons illegally? The worst case for me is the issue of armed security in schools - despite the fact that they work well in airports, office buildings and all sort of enterprises. The gun-ban lobby would have us believe that they are not effective because they don't "like" guns or because "we don't want our children in this kind of environment" (yeah, we'd like them to live in the 1950s, but that is not going to happen). The refusal of even debating the issue is an example of the radicalism that plagues the political system.
"Are they seriously suggesting that people will not commit suicide if there is a gun ban?" - I believe the suggestion is that guns by suicide actually work in the vast majority of cases whereas suicide attempts by other methods work less often giving the person time to seek help, reflect and hopefully change his/her mind. The problem with guns is that they go "bang" and actually do what they are meant to do - KILL SOMEONE. Unfortunately, they are very effective.
I am not sure that would be entirely true and even so it wouldn't address the root problems of why people kill themselves or each other. For instance Japan has a much higher successful suicide rate than the US despite having strict gun control. Inversely even leaving out gun deaths the US has a higher murder rate than Japan. Lets deal with the real problems before we pat each other on the back for achieving nothing...
No less effective than jumping, proper wrist cutting, massive drug overdose or several other ways to go for really determined people.
Sorry to disagree but I have friends who have recently bough guns at Gun Shows. They all had to go through background checks....Not sure what shows you are talking about, but if a Federal Firearms Licensee (Gun Dealer) is at a Gun Show, they are required to do a Background check . Its already Federal Law.
Thanks for the comment about Suicides...I agree 100%. They will kill themselves anyway.
Many mass murders/mass suicides have been committed with out guns. Think Jonestown (912), Pupatin Bali (1000)' Heavens Gate in San Diego Ca (39), Branch Davidian's, Waco Texas (80), jury still out on this one, most were killed by fire there was some gun involvement initially. Movement for the Restoration of the 10 Commandments of God (1000+)

While your post said nothing unreasonable, quite the opposite, I still found your response to perfectly mirror the inability of America to have a reasonable, compromising conversation about gun control. Your post, ostensibly a response to Obama's announcement of gun control initiatives, the chief of which is a ban on assault style weapons, was completely off mark.
Why? You went on to discuss the unfeasibility of banning hand guns. This type of intentional and unintentional lack of focus is exactly why the gun control debate continues to be so fruitless. Numerous agents on all points of the spectrum cannot seem to help themselves from shoving the conversation to the manichean extremes of ALL GUNS FOR EVERYONE and GUNS FOR NO ONE. It is even more confusing since Obama's speech never once mentioned hand guns or banning anything other than assault weapons and high capacity magazines. Initiatives, by the way, that a clear majority of Americans (and even most NRA members!) support. Is it too much to ask for a conversation to be about the merits of what was actually said?
Personally, I am strongly in support of a variety of increased gun control measures - the assault weapons bans especially - but neither am I against gun ownership, or concealed carry laws. Your father's example should not be ignored. But I would ask you...did you feel safer with a gun in McDonald's because there was a gun in McDonald's, or because your father, a police officer, had a gun in McDonald's? But I digress...my comment is to ask you to please remember there are millions of Americans, I daresay most of us, that are in favor of increased regulations and also support gun ownership.
The media fails in its role as a shaper of discourse when it participates in the tired habit of ignoring the gigantic middle ground on which there exists to act. If Obama's measures fail, it is because there exists an entire ecosystem which takes the compromises and diverts, twists, and deflects those debates into a shouting match of extremes. We have enough Kentucky sheriffs and David Roberts. Don't add to the pile.
Sir, it appears that the support for effective gun control went negative about the same time that civil rights became law and Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy were murdered. My concern is that the unspoken commitment to the 2nd amendment is tied to American slavery and the need to suppress its victims. This is the stain upon the American soul, deepest in the south and among conservatives, for which neither a messiah has decided to remove nor a god has been capable of forgetting.
Yuck. Let's blame all of Europe's problems on the much more recent stain of the holocaust and its continuing anti-Semitism, especially among the European Left.
William Keller and DarrelB
You are both wrong. Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy were both killed by the U.S. government, and "the holocaust" has only slightly more validity than the Al Qaeda kamikaze terrorist plot of 9/11. In case either of you believe official lies about anything, do some research. To quote The Gulag Archipelago, "you should have made it your business to know!" Unlike most Russians, you can learn the truth, but you need to hurry, because the Internet is becoming more censored by the hour.
What exactly is an "unspoken commitment to the 2nd Amendment"?? What does it matter if someone is "committed" to the Bill of Rights or not? They are still the law of the land are must be upheld, irrespective of your personal views of them. You don't agree with one of them? Separation of Church and State? Freedom of assembly? Right to bear arms? Then amend the Constitution.
Perhaps that is when they became more necessary.
African-Americans are more violent than any other group in America (by quite a bit) and there are a lot more African-Americans in the South than in other parts of the country.
Um... Nope. Your just plain wrong. Not only is there zero evidence to support your theory, many civil rights leaders supported the 2nd amendment because they needed to defend themselves from their state authorities and white neighbors.
They won't demand it (as your chart clearly shows). America effectively has a psychotic obsession with guns. Consider the challenges of successfully treating an individual with a psychosis, then think of treating an entire country. Tragically, this problem appears to align with your statement on sentiment: in this case, a fact of American nature.
That is what is needed - a mass psychiatric analysis of a huge number of people , almost none of which you have ever met.
Yes, anyone who disagrees with you is clinically insane. Perfect negotiating position! Let me know how that works for you.
The 2nd amendment was ratified(became law) in the USA in 1791....all the mass shootings the past few years were not done by Flint-Locked Muskets!
AMEN! Nor did the "forefathers" have any idea that Weapons would be produced that would kill so may folks so quickly. The statement "Right to bear ARMS" today covers a very wide selection of weapons. If you have a Big one, someone will get a BIgger one and a BIGger and BIGGEr and BIGGER one. Reminds me of a bunch of kids. Common Sense has GOT to be interjected into this conversation some how. We can't allow those that make big money(politicians, gun makers and salesmen) on the sale of weapons push their agenda just to get richer and gain more power over the masses.
Crap, pure crap. Many of our founding fathers were combat veterans they knew the potential guns have to destroy people.
Glad you figured that fact out for yourself. I should have expressed the fact that guns/arms available today could have NEVER been thought of by our forefathers. Never-the-less, no matter what weapons are use for protection someone will have a BIGGER one or another weapon(bomb maybe) to in-flick their desires results upon their targets. Heck, lets make it easy, lets just all get our own personal sized "NUCK DEVICE" and use them against our fellow citizens and or government. The BAD GUY is always going to outdo the good guy. Heck, come to thing about it, who the heck wants to live in a country that requires thinking about such problems and I sure pray that I'm not leaving such a mess for my children to inherit. I use to think "that situation" was what my grandkids might be awarded, but now, I believe my kids in their 40's and 50's may have to get escorted to just go to the store for food. GOD help us all.
So. Homeland security. Just tell survelence complex to start sniffing domestic communication traffic for words and phrases associated with people buying and selling guns, then cross index that with any medical records. I don't know why there is this silly distraction with writing laws. We already ditched privacy and warrented search rights just after 9/11.
Since the NRA is all happy with the patriot act, the Pres can just order HLS to track all gun owners 24/7.
Gun bullies haunt most American comment sites and make discussion DELIBERATELY impossible. Add three hundred million guns in circulation and you have TOTAL CHAOS regarding guns in America. Fortunately most gun owners are scared of their gun or guns. That is a VERY GOOD THING!
"Fortunately most gun owners are scared of their gun or guns. That is a VERY GOOD THING!" I myself would refine that a little further in saying that the large majority (certainly not all) law abiding gun owners have a deep "respect" for the responsibility that comes with gun ownership. At least this has been my experience with the all of the gun owners in my personal circle.
I would based on my life experience with thousands upon thousands of people in all walks of life and life circumstances, state that the vast majority of gun owners own guns for impulse reasons and have little or NO IDEA how to properly fire or otherwise use them. The number of sports persons or law enforcement trained or military persons is definitely a minority of gun owners and three hundred MILLION firearms in circulation is a deadly absurdity. You are aware that there is a STRONG Correlation between having a gun in the house and suicide, particularly among teenagers. Dad is NOT doing a favor for Junior in having a gun in the House for Emotional Feeling of Power or similar destructive rubbish exploited to Death by the NRA and the Firearms industry. http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/hicrc/firearms-research/gun-ownership-and-use/
Correlation does not equal causation. If you want correlation compare the OECD countries, the numbers of guns in each country to the number of gun deaths per 100K in each country. You will find that the line on the chart does not climb as it goes to the right. It stays flat indicating that, in OECD countries at least, the number of gun deaths does not increase proportionally with guns.
The US and Mexico are outliers, us for having so many gun deaths with so many guns and Mexico for having as many gun deaths per 100K with many less guns.
Thanks for your comment. Maybe YOU are satisfied with the amount of Gun Slaughter in the United States. I am DEFINITELY NOT and Political Agenda driven NEW INTERPRETATIONS of "well regulated militia" 119 years AFTER the Second Amendment was framed is a PHONEY basis to CONTINUE this Gun Madness.
Did I say I was happy with the amount of gun deaths in this country? I'm not. But outlawing things that help make rifles more accurate and magazines over 10 rounds isn't going to help bring down the number of gun deaths. (which is falling anyway)
I'm pointing out that guns in and of themselves are not the problem. Other countries have much lower levels of gun death per gun, Mexico has the same level of gun deaths as we do with a much lower number of guns. Do we want to get rid of violence or just ameliorate one tool of violence to make it fractionally harder to use?
You say there is a correlation between having a gun in the house and suicide, but we all know correlation and causation are two different things. Something else is making that person suicidal. Taking the gun away will not magically make them better in the head.
Yes you did strongly imply a satisfaction with the Status Quo and certainly put forth reforms or new restrictions which had any prospect of a meaningful change in DEATH TOTALS. Limiting magazine size and reducing the design fire rate for semi-automatics would NOT make them less accurate and would REDUCE THE DELIBERATE SLAUGHTER terrorists or lone wolf crazies can inflict.
Nobody is talking about making bolts on semi-automatic firearms cycle slower. (that's how you would reduce the fire rate) the only thing a magazine cap does is make sure I only have ten rounds to take out a fast moving, determined, and possibly heavily armored bad guy.
He isn't going to care one whit about a magazine cap. And with the Last Assault Weapons ban for an example, 30 round magazines are so common there isn't anyway to truly get rid of them. the rest of the Assualt Weapons ban on the table is banning military style rifles. Are they actually going to make it illegal to posses a rifle based on the M-16 series? nope. Have a look here, at what New York did, it's what they want to pass at the federal level.
The only thing banned other than ways to grip the rifle are bayonet lugs and "high capacity" magazines. Best yet, clips are fine, (there is a difference). the only thing that makes a rifle an assault rifle after the banned items are detachable box magazines. This is ludicrous, it is nothing but a nose-thumb to gun owners and weapons manufacturers. It's not going to stop a killing spree, it's just going to make gun owners waste money and it might actually give the gun industry more profit as people re-tool with legal weapons and accessories.
We need to deal with the people problem. If people didn't feel like they needed to kill themselves or someone else for whatever reason then we could have a billion guns in our society and be fine. Education and a mental health system would drastically cut the number of gun deaths in this country without even talking about crime reduction in high crime areas.
How many times have you been threatened by a bad guy and needed a M-16 type weapon to survive? You and tens of millions of others are substituting POWER FANTASIES for real life. There is a COST to gun absurdity and we WILL BE PAYING sharply more for it.
John, that's a loaded question for me so I'll put it bluntly. I'm a combat veteran, I been shot at and I've shot at people. That aside I haven't always lived in the nicest places and there have been two times people have felt compelled to leave me alone after seeing that I was armed.
I'm not going to sit here and say a gun solves everything and makes me all warm and cuddly at night. It's very much the last thing I want to bring into any situation, but when there is no other option I'd rather have it there then have my loved ones bury me.
I don't think I'm going to be some kind of rambo insurgency figure against a tyrannical american government. I'm not out on the streets looking fer dem bad guyz. I'm just a normal middle age guy who has a gun in case a situation with ~1% chance of happening, happens.
Look, you HAVE real gun experience which I DON'T. If what you are doing threatens or even disturbs NO ONE doing lawful things and makes you safer, LIVE AND LET LIVE!

Positive opportunities for hospital collaboration abound
Why in the world would hospitals want to collaborate? Maybe to reduce costs, save money, improve services offered to the community, improve quality, better serve the residents of our county, survive ongoing and inevitable cuts to our reimbursement — all of the above, and much more.
I was mystified by Doug Lafferty's comment in last week's article entitled, "Hospital CAOs see 'collaboration' differently." He is quoted as saying, "I don't want to talk collaboration until we know what we need to collaborate on." I am not sure what we are waiting for. I don't need a community needs assessment to identify very real opportunities and specific items of collaboration. And, collaboration or cooperation doesn't mean consolidation. It means working together to enhance the strength of each hospital so that we can continue to provide needed health care to our respective communities.
Also, I would like to correct a misstatement in last week's article regarding our ambulance service. Eastern Plumas Health Care has four ambulances that serve Eastern Sierra and Eastern Plumas counties. There are always two ambulances working 24/7; at times of high volume, like Fourth of July, we add a third. I'm glad Doug believes that our ambulance services can work together. But, meaningful collaboration is much more than this.
I absolutely agree that meaningful collaboration doesn't happen overnight. It is hard work, time intensive, and everyone must agree that it is a valuable effort. Opportunities include leveraging our collective strengths to negotiate contracts, joint recruitment of needed physicians, group purchasing, expanding locally provided specialty services, increasing the use of telemedicine services, etc., etc. The consultant that was hired by Sierra Institute identified no fewer than 40 potential opportunities for collaboration!
I have been talking about the need for all of our hospitals to collaborate for three years, and we have gone nowhere! Cooperation and collaboration works and is a proven strategy in health care. My own past experience at the Fremont Rideout Health Group in Yuba City showed that the opportunities were endless to reduce costs, improve financial performance, increase opportunities for employees and improve and expand services to the community. These collaborative efforts don't just make sense in a large hospital setting. In fact, they are even more necessary for survival and quality in small hospitals like our own.
As I said, I am not talking about consolidating balance sheets and income statements or having one hospital assume and be responsible for the debt of the other. It's about creating opportunities to make each hospital more efficient. It's good business for the hospital, and patients reap the benefits as well. Also, I am not talking about consolidating boards of directors, as each community needs to determine the services it will provide. Hopefully, though, the administrations and boards of the individual hospitals would work very closely to plan services that would be best for all communities. I suspect that statements which link collaboration and consolidation are put forth by those who aren't truly interested in collaboration. It confuses the issue and frightens people away from working creatively on areas of mutual interest.
Collaboration and cooperation take effort and time. And with upcoming health care reform, it is more important than ever that we begin this process now. Getting over past provincial attitudes and striving to work together makes perfect sense.

Yes, please turn it off
No, it's okay
The length and longevity of this thread is directly proportional to the disruption caused by Qar. Rather than start our own threads (there would be several dozen), we simply add to the preexisting one like good net citizens. To put this into words that even Qar will understand:
Banning Qar = Murder
I make hard word sentence coherent! EVER!!!
GForce IS ATI from purchased 3DFX
3DFX make "FXT1" so no GForce
ATI = Communism, it "ironic" in newsletter
Qar's been on my ignore list for a while now. It's still annoying when others take the bait.

When you're on the trail for days at a time, every ounce of weight and square inch of space in your pack matters. Backpacking stoves are lightweight, compact stoves that won't take up a ton of space in your bag. Most fall into one of two basic categories: canister stoves and liquid gas stoves. As a general rule, canister stove systems are the go-to choice for summertime excursions, trips that require you to keep your pack weight as low as possible, and campers who want an easy-to-use system. Liquid gas systems are preferable for harsh winter conditions (such as a multi-day ski tours), cooking for larger groups of people, high-altitude expeditions, and international backpacking trips.
Canister Fuel:
Canister stoves attach directly to a pressurized fuel canister via a screw-threaded valve. This makes them easy to use and lightweight, which is ideal for backpacking. However, they can be unreliable in cold weather.
Liquid Fuel:
Although not as lightweight or user-friendly as canister stoves, liquid gas stoves aren't affected by cold temps or high altitudes which makes them invaluable for winter camping and mountaineering.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman during the 1999 season. Aikman, now a Fox analyst, says Dallas fans were never fully committed to the team. / H. Darr Beiser, USA TODAY
Hall of Famers don't have better hearing than us but the sound of silence hits them harder.
After the Chicago Bears won in Dallas on Monday Night, Chicago receiver Brandon Marshall said it felt like a home game.
Troy Aikman, who won a handful of Super Bowls wearing the star, knew what he was talking about.
"I don't think Dallas has ever really had a great home field advantage," Aikman said on KTCK-AM 1310 The Ticket. "What I've heard is that, 'Wow, they really lost home field advantage when they left Texas Stadium.' Texas Stadium really wasn't that different. Having played playoff games in Texas Stadium, that stadium was rocking, it was great. ... But when we would play in Philadelphia, New York and walk out of the tunnel, I would have to be yelling at the top of my lungs for guys to hear me. And you get on the plane for the flight home and your head would be pounding, you wouldn't have a voice, and that's just the way that it was. There was no way you could go down there near the goal line and use hard count in an opposing stadium. And yet in Texas Stadium, teams did it all the time."
Aikman added that for "a large part -- and the fans don't want to hear this -- a lot of of the people that attend sports in this town, they're there because it's kind of just a place to be seen" and that "I didn't know anybody who went to Rangers games, then when they started winning and going to World Series, everybody's wearing Rangers hats..."

Description | Nacogdoches County, State of Texas. Minerva to Dr. Bone: friends and relatives are going off to war, the children are fine, she's afraid all the men (even her father) will be called to war because she fears the worst is not there yet, she's heard that the Northerners have taken Memphis, Tennessee, some Negroes were hung at Carthage because they were about to kill their white families. |

Biographical Note | Robert Donnell Bone (1832-1892) was born in Wilson County, Tennessee, and came to Nacogdoches County in 1841 with his mother and stepfather. He and his brothers and sister moved in with his older sister when she married John Winstead Paine in 1846. After a serious illness of pneumonia, R. D. Bone rode horseback to Tennessee and entered the University at Nashville Medical School (which later became Vanderbilt University) in 1854 and returned to Douglass, Texas, to practice medicine after graduating in 1858. That same year he married Griselda Minerva Burk (1841-1912) who was also from Tennessee and had moved to Nacogdoches County, Texas, with her family in 1848. On November 25, 1861, Dr. Bone was appointed to serve as Assistant Surgeon of the 12th Texas Volunteer Infantry, Col. Overton Young's Regiment at Camp Hebert, Hempstead, Austin County, Texas. He felt it was his duty to serve the cause of the Confederacy and eagerly attended his post. As revealed in the following letters exchanged with his wife while on active duty in the Civil War, it soon became clear that he would have to contend with inadequate provisions, boring camp routine and confusing orders. "The Fever", dysentery, measles and exposure were Dr. Bone's patients' main medical problems; his regiment was not involved in any serious fighting. When he resigned his commission on March 7, 1863, in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, he went back to Douglass, Texas, to practice medicine. Dr. Bone also bought cotton and cattle and took them to New Orleans each fall to be sold. Minerva was Post Mistress in Douglass from 1866-1867. Only six of the Bone's 12 children reached adulthood, and two of their sons graduated from the University at Nashville Medical School exactly 50 years after Dr. Bone did. At least eight of his descendants have followed him in serving the medical profession. (Aiken, Roy L. (Pete). "Bone Family." In Nacogdoches County Families, 172. Dallas, Tx.: Curtis Media Corporation, 1985.) |
Scope and Content Note | Included in the collection of letters between Dr. Bone and Minerva are letters to the Bones from family and friends, report forms from the post office at Douglass, and two poems (probably written by Dr. Bone). Typescripts for most of the papers in the collection are in a booklet in Box 2. Several 19th century newspapers belonging to Dr. Bone are cataloged and shelved with the newspaper bundles. |

Transcript | State of Texas Nacogdoches Co. March the 16th, 1862 Dear Husband, I received your letter this evening dated the 11th, which gave me great satisfaction, but sorry to hear of so much sickness there. I want you to take good care of yourself and don't get sick if you can help it, and don't get out of heart, for that is a bad plan. Jim Paine brought your letter to me; he is to start back next Tuesday or Wednesday. I went to Douglass with Jim and Francis last Monday, and went down to Ma's and stayed all night, then came back to Sam's and helped them to weave [for] two days. I expect Jim can tell you more than I can write. I saw White's Company sworn in. Foster and George were in the Company. Oh, honey, you don't know how bad I felt to see them fixing to leave their wives and little sweet children, they were there to see them. It looks hard to see them go off and leave their dear little ones. I feel so sorry for them all, for I know something about it. It made me think of our separation, and that was hard, you know. If you don't think so, I do, but I think you would say yes, so it does me just as well, for I have all the confidence in the world in you, for you have been as true to me as man could be to a women. I think so. When you go to read this side read the next side first. I made a mistake. There were five Negroes hung at Carthage the other day, and one at Rusk or somewhere up that way. The five were about to kill their white family, I don't know what the other one did. I have not got any jeans now, but one pair of pants, and that is yours. I have got in my blankets now, [I] wove over two yards since dinner today. Don't go in debt any more than you can help. I hear no word about you going to draw any money, I am afraid that you won't draw at all, but don't get out of heart. If the good Lord will only spare us for each other we will be happy anyhow. Honey, I want to see you so bad I think sometimes I can't stand it, and then sometimes I do very well. Honey, pray and pray for me and our little boys. I want you to do for the best. Think [of] Ma and our little boys. I want you [to] write often as you can, and I will do the same. I hope and pray that the good Lord will give us health and spare us until we meet again. May God bless you my Dear husband. Goodbye, my Dear G. M. Bone This is Monday morning; I am up but feel bad. Watson is well and hearty, and grows fast. He says he love his Pa and Ma and his little brother. Winsted grows fast, he can almost sit alone. He can laugh and jabber a right smart. He is a pretty little boy, his eyes are better; one of them is sore a little this morning. I think they will get well when warm weather comes. I am sorry to hear about Pilot getting away. I am afraid that you will never get him again, he has not come back here as I know of. I hear that Uncle John Lucas is going out to where you are. If you do go anywhere east come by home and see us, if you can, for you don't know how bad I want to see you. Times are getting worse here. I am afraid that Pa and Sam will have to go if they keep calling for more men. The men are going from every direction here now. I am afraid the worst ain't here yet. I hear that the Northerners have taken Memphis, in Tennessee. This is the third letter I have written you, I don't know why you have not gotten my letters. Honey, we have got two pretty little boys. To me, it looks like they are sweeter when you are gone than any other time. I kiss them for you |
