STAFFING AND WORKPLACE BLOG -- SCOTT SUTTELL The Clinic's Dr. Cosgrove shares thoughts on what's next in health careBy SCOTT SUTTELL 10:00 am, November 19, 2012
President Barack Obama's re-election means the Affordable Care Act is here to stay, and Cleveland Clinic CEO Toby Cosgrove has a clear view of the next steps for health systems, employers and citizens.
The Washington Post reports that the federal agency that insures pensions for 43 million Americans "saw its deficit swell to $34 billion in the past year, the largest in its 38-year history."
Gov. John Kasich has signed an executive order that authorizes the Ohio Rehabilitation Services Commission to implement a fee schedule for vocational rehabilitation services.
New data show that employers have not only restored the matching 401(k), but also that employees are contributing more to their retirement plans as the economy has improved. You also can follow me on Twitter for more news about business and Northeast Ohio. PRINTED FROM: http://www.crainscleveland.com/article/20121119/BLOGS03/121119840/0/BLOGS03&template=printart |

Doctors in Brazil said a construction worker is recovering after a 6-foot metal bar fell from the fifth floor of a building and impaled his head.
The Associated Press reported that 24-year-old Eduardo Leite was working on the ground floor of the construction site when the bar pierced his hard hat, drove through the top of his head and exited between his eyes.
Ruy Monteiro, the head of neurosurgery at Miguel Couto Municipal Hospital, told Globo TV Network that Leite was still conscious and talking as emergency crews responded to the scene and sawed through the bar to free him, leaving a foot and a half of the rod still stuck in his head.
Monteiro said the rebar was successfully removed from Leite's skull during a five-hour-long surgery, and that the patient is lucid and talking normally after the operation.
According to reports, Leite is expected to remain under evaluation at the hospital for several weeks.
There's been no word on whether he plans to hold onto any portion of the rod as a keepsake.

Apart from sherry and Malaga, classic Spanish white wines have never been popular outside their own country. They tended to be oaky, high in alcohol, low acid and prematurely aged - in a word, flat. But the wines of Rias Baixas in Galicia (in addition to Penedes and a few other areas) indicate that Spanish white wines can be very different. Rias Baixas, in the extreme northwest bordering on Portugal, receives moist Atlantic breezes that give it a cool, damp Mediterranean climate. Wines here are fresh, dry and somewhat acidic. Often compared to those of the nearby Vinho Verde region of Portugal, they are significantly more interesting, and perfect for drinking with seafood and chicken dishes. The major white varietal by far is Albarino; the remaining ten percent of vineyards can contain Caia Blanca, Treixadura, and Loureiro. The best Rias Baixas wines have floral aromas and an apricot character sometimes compared to Condrieu. Reds are not exported

According to the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), stinging insects send more than half a million people to the emergency room every year.
Stinging insects are especially active during the second half of summer, when the colonies forage for food that will sustain their queens during the winter.
"Stinging insects pose a major health concern for families around the country, and summer to late fall are the months when people are at the greatest risk," says Missy Henriksen, vice president of public affairs for NPMA. "It is important to take certain precautions to ensure that you can avoid painful stings and a possible allergic reaction."
Since stinging insects emerged from their hideouts earlier than expected this year, now is the time to start preventing trouble. Here's what the experts at NPMA suggest:
* Always wear shoes when outdoors, especially in grassy areas.
* Do not swat at stinging insects.
* Keep windows and doors screened.
* Keep garbage in sealed receptacles.
* Do not leave sweet drinks or meats in accessible areas. Keep food covered in outdoor areas, and be sure to remove food and trash after picnics and outdoor events.
* Thoroughly rinse soda cans and other containers before placing them in recycling or garbage receptacles.
* Overseed grassy areas to get better coverage, as this will deter ground-nesting insects.
* If stung and experiencing signs of illness, seek immediate medical attention as allergic reactions can be severe.
* If at risk of an attack by a colony of stinging insects, run as fast as possible, and seek shelter inside a car or a house.
* Call a pest professional if you find a nest on your property or suspect an infestation, as the removal of any stinging insect nest can be dangerous.

I have no idea, have never seen a statement like that from us or anyone else. I have seen various posts saying that you need 32-bit libs to run 32-bit apps, but I think that's common to everyone -- maybe it's something like that ? There also seems to be an issue with 2.6.25 kernel where 64-bit has dropped some tlb-related symbols, however they are still in the 32-bit version; that's another possibility.
I was not able to find the gentoo bug report you mentioned; any chance you could post a link ?

Ten Lectures on the Use of Formulas from the Personal Experience of Jiao Shu De (9780912111759)
Publisher: Paradigm Publications
Binding: Hardcover
Ten Lecutures on the Use of Chinese Formulas, like Prof. Jiao's Ten Lectures on the Use of Chinese Medicinals is read by virtually every student of Chinese medicine in China. Prof. Jiao is not only a nationally-recognized master but also a teacher and author whose works are considered essential for the aspiring Chinese physician. Jiao Shu-De's theories and extensive knowledge of Chinese medicinals culminate in these lectures on formulas. Here Prof. Jiao moves beyond theory and provides us with the most practical and obtainable information for use in everyday clinical situations. Those who apply Jiao's knowledge to their own patients find the results to be outstanding. His work is an essential guide for answering the questions and solving the problems that clinicians face in everyday practice.
Jiao has compiled over 200 commonly used traditional formulas and has further added several dozen formulas from his own experience. This information is set out as ten Lectures, which follow this outline: Lecture 1 covers issues that one must pay attention to in clinically applying formulas. Lecture 2 discusses formulas that treat the qi, rectify the blood, and supplement and nurture. Lecture 3 discusses dispersing formulas, harmonizing formulas, and formulas that simultaneously treat the exterior and interior. Lecture 4 discusses wind-expelling formulas, cold-expelling formulas, and damp-expelling formulas. While Lecture 5 is about formulas that clear fire, disperse summerheat, and moisten dryness, Lecture 6 discusses phlegm-eliminating formulas, abductive-dispersing formulas, and offensive-precipitation formulas. Lecture 7 discusses ejecting formulas, astringing and securing formulas, and insect-killing formulas; Lecture 8 discusses heavy-settling formulas, toxin-resolving formulas, and cancer-preventing formulas; and Lecture 9 discusses commonly used gynecological and pediatric formulas. Lecture 10 introduces a few of Jiao's own empirical formulas.
As you read this book you feel as though murky clouds of miscomprehension have been pulled from your mind. The cogency of the information and the clarity with which it is presented make it a remarkable resource for student, clinician, and instructor alike.

Overview: Becoming ill is not a planned event. In a world of digitized patient information, healthcare providers require on-demand access to digitized patient information to deliver optimal care.
In hospital settings, downtime is not an acceptable option. A virtual infrastructure that enables
always-on availability and access to electronic medical records (EMRs), electronic health records (EHRs), and other patient care applications is essential.

Revision as of 23:14, 23 April 2013
(Sorry for the inconvenience)
Beginning with PC-BSD® 9.1, a "Sound Configuration" icon is available which automatically determines which audio devices are available and provides a button to play a test sound. To access this utility, use Control Panel ➜ Sound Configuration or type pc-soundconfig from within an xterm.An example of the "Sound Configuration" screen is shown in Figure 8.11a.
To determine which audio devices are available, click the drop-down menu. In the example shown in Figure 8.11b, this system has four available sound devices with the FreeBSD device names pcm0 to pcm3. The default device is the Conexant CX20590 on pcm2.
To change the default audio device, select the desired device from the drop-down menu and test that it works by clicking the "Test sound" button. To make the change permanent, click the "Apply" button.
If you connect a USB headset, PC-BSD® will detect the new device and will automatically change the audio device to the USB input. At this time, if you insert a headset into an audio jack, the system will not detect the new input so you will have to manually change the default device using "Sound Configuration".Troubleshooting Sound
If you are unable to get sound working using the sound configuration utility, you can try using mixer from the command line. As your regular user, type mixer to see your current settings:
Mixer vol is currently set to 0:0 Mixer pcm is currently set to 100:100 Mixer mic is currently set to 50:50 Mixer mix is currently set to 60:60 Mixer rec is currently set to 75:75 Mixer igain is currently set to 100:100
Mixer ogain is currently set to 100:100If any of these settings are set to 0, set them to a higher value, by specifying the name of the mixer setting and a percentage value up to 100:
If you only get one or two mixer settings instead of the example output shown above, you need to change the default mixer channel. As the superuser, try this command:
To see if that changed to the correct channel, type mixer again. If you still only have one or two mixer settings, try setting the sysctl value to 2, and if necessary, to 3.
Once you have all of the mixer settings and none are set to 0, your sound should work. If it still doesn't, these resources may help you to pinpoint the problem:
If you still have problems with sound, see the section on Finding Help to determine which help resources are available. When reporting your problem, include your version of PC-BSD® and the name of your sound card.

The lovely husband got home second tonight. He walked into the house with a bouquet of flowers in his hand. Oooh!! what are those? E asked. L echoed: oooh!! Their daddy said to them: "they're flowers for Mommy!"
E asked: can I see? and her daddy said, "come here, you can give them to her."
L ran faster. She grabbed the flowers from her daddy and repeated herself. Oooh!!
E moaned. I wanted to give them to Mommy!
The daddy replied: "Come here and hold them together and you can both give them to her."
And so they did. From the edge of the kitchen to my corner of the couch, they walked slowly together, flowers in hand(s), looking like lovely conjoined flower girls in a solemn wedding processional. Slowly they walked, carefully, step by step by step, clutching the beautiful roses so carefully, so deliberately, walking in sync and slowly, until they delivered their fragrant parcel to me.
All without ever once averting their eyes from their beloved animated playmate.
Flowers for Mama. But don't look at Mama.
They did it half-right. But Lovely Husband, you still get full credit. 'Twas a sweet surprise.

Some of us still have R200 cards that work very well. But that doesn't mean that they can't be made to work better...
I have seen comparisions between the open source R200 driver and fglrx and the open source driver was always slower.
That not counting that fglrx was slower than the Windows driver.
Somebody knows why is that?
What is missing to have an open source R200 driver as fast as the windows driver?
Some of us still have R200 cards that work very well. But that doesn't mean that they can't be made to work better...
Perhaps some of it can be explained in this article @ http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pag...item=743&num=1
I'm not sure what your "it" is, but I'm wondering if AMD might wish to re-release the R200 specs without an NDA, seeing as it's prepared to do the same thing for it's more recent R500/R600 cards. It would be great to see these cards realise their potential, especially since I still have one...
that's the perfect reason to DO it.I can ask them but I would doubt it just since they wouldn't want to spend their time on the old chips they basically care nothing about, but we'll see.
they don't want to support r200 - fine. let the community take care of it. provided that they give specs.
I can provide an even bigger reason for them to do it:
Catalyst 6.5 was the official (and somewhat under the radar) End of Life for the r200s. How long ago was that now? And these chips are still on the shelves of one of the worlds largest retailers? It would make sense to release the docs.
Of course, unless they do release the r200 spec, I won't be upgrading to another AMD/ATI system (like my current one) ever again.
An even easer option for them would be to release Dave Arlied (and maybe others) from his original NDA, he could then make public the specs he has and we'd have working XvMC for r200 amongst other things.

Danks tries to shake White Sox out of road malaise
Astros' Harrell aims to continue recent stellar mound work
The White Sox have had their fair share of road woes recently. Losers in 10 of their last 11 road games, Chicago has been outscored 62-34 during that stretch.
It'll be up to White Sox left-hander John Danks to get them out of that funk Saturday against the Astros in Houston.
Danks is definitely the man to get the job done, having his best start of the season against the A's last Saturday. In just his fifth start of the season since recovering from left shoulder surgery, Danks allowed one run on three hits in eight innings for the win.
He also struck out six and walked one, retiring the final 21 batters he faced. It marked Danks' first win at U.S. Cellular Field since Sept. 24, 2011, against the Royals.
"Obviously, Spring Training was tough," Danks said. "I battled through a lot in spring, and just like they told me, the more time and the more strengthening I get, the better I'll be."
Meanwhile, Astros right-hander Lucas Harrell will look to continue his current hot streak after having plenty of ups and downs through the first two months of the season.
The right-hander has surrendered fewer than two runs in eight starts, but he has allowed five or more runs in four outings this season, two of which he allowed eight runs. However, in his last two starts, Harrell has combined to allow just one earned run in 14 innings.
Harrell had his best start of the season on Sunday against the Royals, giving up two hits in seven innings for a no-decision. It marked the first time this year he did not allow an earned run.
After he loaded the bases in the first inning and threw 51 pitches through two, Harrell tossed just 48 pitches and retired 12 in a row at one stretch over his last five innings.
"I've been extremely happy with our starting pitching," Astros manager Bo Porter said. "It's been tremendous. They've either given us a great chance to win the game or they've kept us right there in the game over the last 3 1/2 weeks. We believe that's going to continue. We believe we have five guys who give us the best chance to win. It's a credit to them."
White Sox: Dunn heating up
Adam Dunn has been on quite a hot streak as of late, going 8-for-17 with four home runs and eight RBI in his last five games.
He went 0-for-2 with an RBI and one walk in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Astros.
"Hopefully, I see a better end of the first half and then the second half," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "Again, he's going to strike out, but I think he was on a pace to strike out a lot more than he was expected for a while. But now he's hitting the ball the other way, he's hitting some fly balls. Just better at-bats. You can kind of tell just the way he's taking pitches. He went through periods where he was swinging no matter what.
"Now, he's got a better idea of the strike zone and confidence-wise it just seems like he's better going to the plate right now."
Astros: Maxwell may not start in center upon return
Justin Maxwell may not be the starting center fielder for the Astros when he finishes his rehab assignment from a fractured left hand suffered in April, Porter said Friday.
"I'm going to say that he will start. I'm not going to say it will be at center field," Porter said. "Brandon Barnes has done a great job there. He will warrant some continued playing time in center. That's why we've had Maxwell play some places beside center field [during his rehab assignment]. It gives us the luxury of having the option for both guys."
Maxwell was called up to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday after struggling heavily with Double-A Corpus Christi. The 29-year-old recorded just one hit in 23 at-bats with the Hooks, but he was struggling through some stomach ailments and food-poisoning symptoms.
Maxwell started exclusively in center field in 20 games with the Astros prior to injuring his hand on April 23. Porter said there is no timetable for Maxwell's return.
Worth noting
• The Astros announced the signing of four selections from the 2013 MLB First-Year Player Draft on Friday. They included first baseman Conrad Gregor (fourth round), catcher Jacob Nottingham (sixth round), outfielder Jon Kemmer (21st round) and outfielder Ronnie Mitchell (38th round). The club has signed 17 of its 40 selections.
• The White Sox hit eight home runs in their last five games, compared to nine in the previous 20 games.

%gosta 0\[ezus SI news puSCkation of the Salish and 'Kootenai Triées of the Jiathead Indian H(eservatwn Chief Charlo of the Salish VOLUME 16, NUMBER 38 THE COLDEST MONTH Chief Koostatah of the Kootenai FEBRUARY 10, 1988 Tribes announce proposal for FIIP co-management committee In a letter to the Montana congressional delegation, the Tribes unveiled a proposal for "a positive framework" for resolving conflicts over the management of the irrigation division of the Flathead Indian Irrigation Project. The management of the project's irrigation division is presently embroiled in litigation and political controversy. In the last 20 months, the Flathead Joint Board of Control has filed five lawsuits relating to FIIP management and water rights. In a letter to Montana's congressional delegation, Tribal Council Chairman Mickey Pablo stated that the barrage of Joint Board lawsuits has "had the effect of pouring gasoline on a simmering conflict". The Tribes believe, the letter goes on, that it is time to defuse the animosity that swirls around the Project management issue and time to search for common ground and understanding. "We seek a solution where everybody wins, where paths are worn between neighbor's houses rather than to the courthouse door," Pablo said. Submitted with the letter was an eight-page proposal entitled, "A Positive Framework for Resolving Conflicts Over the Management of the Irrigation Division of the Flathead Indian Irrigation Project". The major points in the proposal are: — The Tribes propose that a Flathead Project Co-Management Committee be formed and that this committee discuss and address management issues facing (Concludes on page 12) 44D hearing attracts good-sized audience 10 10 00 0> o * A g co NO) 0° SI PABLO — Hunters and fishermen from on and off the Reservation gathered at Tribal headquarters here Feb. 1 to discuss proposed changes in the regulations of Ordinance 44D. Sixty to 70 people met with Tribal and BIA biologists, two Council members and one attorney to talk about the "whys" behind the proposed changes, and the possibility of some future changes. High on the list of Tribal-member concerns was the question, "Why can't my non-enrolled kids go hunting with me until they're 18 or so?" Ron Therriault of St. Ignatius expanded on the question, remarking, "There are around 3,500 Tribal descendants on the Reservation who aren't recognized. The youngsters are Indian until they're 18, when they turn 'white'." Gratitude was expressed for the rule change that now requires conservation permits for people 18 years old and up, and not from 12 and up, which was the case in 1987. The possibility of elk hunting in the closed Ferry Basin area earned a lot of comment, too. Biologist Jim Claar explained that the Tribal Council has discussed what, if anything, might be done with the 100 or so elk that have been (Continues on page 4)

What were the reasons that the Prohibition in the United States was passed as a constitutional amendment, rather than a normal federal law, or a set of state laws?
I believe this was to make the local State laws, that were a hodgepodge of enactments on a State level, more uniform and to bring the enforcement into the Federal realm. This was especially easy since the Temperance Movements had become politically powerful in the early 20th Century and in the election of 1917 the pro-Prohibitionists finally had a majority in Congress and moved things along. The actual text is: Without the Volstead Act though the Amendment was very vague, the Volstead Act was more important as it was the one that set down enforcement of the ban. Note the text says nothing about consumption. At the time the Constitution WAS seen as the enshrinement of laws, getting an Amendment gave weight to your cause and Federal enforcement. I don't have official sources on this but there are arguments that prior to the use of the Commerce Clause to give Federal enforcement powers an Amendment was the way to get National enforcement. Although looking more at varous sources the most common rationale given for a national-law is the Temperance Movement already had many States enacting Prohibitive Laws, but this would make it Federal and not allow Liquor interests to interfere locally and influence local politicians. |
Prohibition required a constitutional amendment, because the Federal government does not have the power to regulate intra-state commerce. The majority of states and many localities had already banned the sale of alcohol. The progressive and women's suffrage movements saw banning alcohol as a way to improve living conditions for women and children and reduce the power of saloon-centric machine politics. |
Prohibition existed in many localities around the country prior to the amendment, but the answer to your question seems to be because the powers that wished to enact prohibition had overwhelming public support. So, the group that wanted prohibition did it in part because they could. To further flesh out some points of MichaelF's answer, prohibition was already starting to take hold around the country. According to Irving Fisher (a professor of economics who testified during congressional hearings on prohibition in April of 1926) in his book Prohibition at its Worst: Professor Fisher notes that prohibition was essentially forced upon the large cities of the East Coast by the rest of the country. The Anti-Saloon League is cited as a particularly effective organization that saw prohibition through to its ultimate success. It is also interesting to note, as the Howard McBain (a law professor at Columbia University) did in 1928, the sheer amount of popular support for prohibition: Interestingly, the Prohibition Amendment invalidated all state and local regulations that dealt with prohibition because the Constitution became the supreme law in this area, and granted police power to the feds to enforce the amendment. For Further Reading See:
Federal laws are based on powers granted to the Senate and the House of Representatives that are enumerated in the U.S. Constitution. It took the 18th Amendment to the Constitution for Congress to be empowered to prohibit the production and sale of alcohol. The resulting federal enabling legislation was known as the Volstead Act. |
