Massachusetts Bill of Rights
July 2014 -- Victory! Governor Deval Patrick signed the Massachusetts Domestic Workers Bill of Rights into law, the fourth state in as many years. The Massachusetts Bill is the most forward-thinking bill of rights to date and sets the stage for even more comprehensive legislation in other states. The bill will protect workers and employers by requiring clear guidelines for employers and workers including: a written contract; 30 days notice of termination for live-in workers; and maternity leave for workers, among other protections. Congratulations, Massachusetts!

I bought this as a gift for my mom for mothers day- this has been her signature scent for years. the bottle is just as gorgeous as the scent.

I love this fragrance. It is a mature scent that is for evening wear. I do wear it to the office and find that it is not over powering. I am elated to finally have it in a full size. It was definitely worth the wait. Buy this fragrance in confidence.
Written by Evelyn on March 27, 2014Read Review details ►
I love Boudoir because it is different and sexy. People stop me and ask what I'm wearing, but it isn't for everyone and it isn't for all occasions. It's more night than day, although I wear it during the day, but not when I'm dressed too casually. It is more than moderate, but less than strong, if you don't overdo it. It's exotic. Unfortunately, it's sometimes difficult to find, so I wear Coco when I can't get Boudoir.

Is a great classic fragrance to wear anytime, not overbearing, very feminine.

{slider=What is Lynch syndrome?}
Lynch syndrome, also known as hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) predisposes individuals to an approximate 80% chance of contracting colorectal cancer during one's lifetime as well as an up to 60% chance of contracting endometrial cancer. Diagnosed individuals possess a higher than average risk of contracting various cancers of the gastrointestinal organs, cancers of the abdominal area, the ovaries, the esophaegus, the bladder, the ureter, the kidneys, the liver, the gallbladder duct, the pancreas, the prostate, the skin and the brain.
Because Lynch syndrome is hereditary, a 50% chance exists that a person will pass it down to one's children. Lynch syndrome does not skip generations.
Lynch syndrome is the result of an inherited genetic defect mostly involving the MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 and PMS2 genes. Other less common mutated genes involved with Lynch syndrome exist, including the newly discovered MYH gene, associated with Muir Torre and sebaceous lesions. However the most common are the MLH1 and the MSH2.
{slider=What is gene mutation?}
Gene mutations are basically a permanent change in the DNA. DNA is active and always replicating itself. If it makes a mistake, then a mutation occurs.
Gene mutations can be inherited or can develop in the sperm or in the egg (called de novo.) These mutated genes can pass down through the generations. The particular genes of Lynch syndrome are called "mismatch repair genes." They repair problems (mismatches) that occur during duplication of the genetic code when other genes are made. If there is a defect in these genes, mismatches won't be repaired properly and cancer cells may develop.
Some gene mutations are a result of environmental factors (such as sun radiation, poor water, ingested foods with DNA altering qualities) and acquired during one's lifetime. These mutations are not hereditary, however the interplay between the environment and the predisposition to cancers can exacerbate the development of Lynch cancers.
{slider=How common is Lynch syndrome?}
In the general population, the prevalence of Lynch syndrome is predicted between 1-in-500 and 1-in-1,000. To put this into perspective, It is projected there are approximately 600,000 mutation carriers within the U.S., however it is also projected only 5% of those individuals have been diagnosed, to date.
What we do know is for each individual diagnosed, there are between twenty and over one hundred other related persons who may also be affected and who benefits from that one diagnosis. A failure to diagnose Lynch syndrome is a failure to diagnose an entire family.
{slider=How is Lynch syndrome diagnosed?}
Lynch syndrome can only be accurately diagnosed through genetic testing. There are many steps which lead up to this process including the documentation of a family history, shared with your medical provider and/or genetics counselor who will determine whether or not it appears you may be at high risk for Lynch syndrome.
{slider=What is the difference between Lynch I and Lynch II?}
Lynch I solely refers to families in which colon cancer is the sole contracted cancer. Lynch II families sustain a variety of cancers, such as endometrial, pelvic-renal, ovarian, etc., in addition to colon cancer.
{slider=If I get diagnosed, is there a treatment for the cancers?}
Not all persons diagnosed with Lynch syndrome get cancer. As well, many others develop polyps which are removed by colonoscopy or other intervention before they become cancerous. Besides protecting our children and generations to come, the benefit of diagnosis is the ability to obtain annual testing for cancer, called surveillance testing, which may be lifesaving. So, to answer the question, there is not only treatment through resection (removal of cancers and affected organs) chemotherapy and radiation, but there is also a system of annual testing, which if utilized correctly, growths are removed prior to becoming cancerous!
{slider=Why does testing need to be completed annually?}
Most cancers take years for the tumors to grow. Lynch syndrome cancers are far more aggressive than other cancers and grow and metastasize very rapidly, often becoming cancerous and dangerous in as little as two years. Early detection is essential for survival.
{slider=Is there a cure?}
No. Researchers have been working very hard to find one. At Case Western University, Dr. Sanford Markowitz has a vision of finding a way to put the breaks on the mutated gene to counter the mutated gene's attempts to put on the gas! There are dedicated researchers all over the world trying to figure out what can be done to control the mutation. In the meantime, the closest thing to a cure is genetic testing to determine the existence of the mutated gene and the level of risk. With that knowledge, implementing annual surveillance testing provides a rate of insurance for early detection of cancer, at a time when it is most treatable and before it becomes a threat to survival.
{slider=My mother has colon cancer and we think her mother had it, but aren't sure.....}
.......Is there a way we can find out if she is at high risk for Lynch syndrome, before proceeding directly toward genetic testing?
Yes. Your mother's tumor can be pathologically tested for certain qualities of Lynch syndrome. Ask her doctor to refer it for MSI or IHC testing. Many professional organizations and associations are calling for this testing of the tumor to become a standard of care any time colon cancer or endometrial cancer has been diagnosed. If the family history indicates there may be a high risk of contracting cancer heritability, always ask for the tumor to be tested through MSI. The testing is not all that expensive and it may be well worth the investment, if your family history indicates there may be a high risk for Lynch syndrome, for everyone to chip in together and pay for it if insurance doesn't cover the cost.
Remember, the MSI is not a conclusive test. It is only a presumptive test that would need to be confirmed with genetic testing but it is a good, inexpensive start.
{slider=How many cases of colon cancer in my family should cause concern?}
That depends upon the specifics of your family history. But, if you have one person in your family with early onset colorectal cancer or with endometrial cancer, it is more than enough to prompt a visit to your physician to discuss Lynch syndrome!
{slider=How serious is the risk of endometrial cancer?}
Endometrial cancer is the most common of women's cancers. Annually, approximately 40,000 new cases are diagnosed and there are approximately 6,500 deaths. Every woman has an approximate 2% risk of endometrial cancer however the woman with Lynch syndrome has an almost up to 65% risk of contracting it. Those are pretty serious numbers. Today, we have put so much focus on "thinking pink" we have forgotten about all the other colors in the cancer rainbow--the dark blues, the teals and the peaches. It is time to bring notice to the cancers that play dirty and "hit below the belt."
{slider=How serious is the risk of colon cancer?}
Colorectal cancer is the second largest cause of cancer deaths in the U.S. Approximately 150,000 people will be diagnosed with it during 2010 and 60,000 will die. However the survival rate for those with colon cancer found early is more than 90%. Individuals with Lynch syndrome have an almost 80% lifetime risk of getting colon cancer. Therefore, that early detection is important for survival and in order to get that, it is very important to be diagnosed through genetic testing.
{slider=What about the skin cancers?}
Muir Torre syndrome is a variant of Lynch syndrome. It is a genetic syndrome characterized by a combination of sebaceous tumors (tumors of the oil glands in the skin) and one or more internal Lynch malignancies, most often colon cancer. In the past year, there has been a call to action that all sebaceous tumors be tested through MRI (pathology testing) for Lynch syndrome.
{slider=What is a "biallelic mutation" and how is it different?}
Known as "Turcot syndrome," "Lynch syndrome III and MMR-D syndrome, a biallelic mutation predisposes individuals to an increased risk of developing brain tumors, leukemia, lymphoma, small bowel cancer and colorectal cancer. It is rare and fewer than seventy-five families in the United States are known to have it. About 16% are first diagnosed with colorectal cancer and the other introductory cancers are brain cancer, leukemia or lymphoma, prior to development in the gastrointestinal tract. Commonly recognized feature are numerous colon polyps, which often lead to a mistaken diagnosis of FAP. The average age for colorectal diagnosis is sixteen, however cancers have been diagnosed from infancy through middle adulthood. A physical feature appearing to be common with this are dark spots on the skin called cafe au lait (CAL) spots. It has been suggested that any child presenting with an early onset malignancy and cafe au lait spots should be tested for mismatch repair gene presentations. It is believed to occur when both parents have a mutated Lynch syndrome gene.

Little Known Facts about the Creeks in Washington County
Little Known Facts about the Creeks in Washington County
For any state, bays and rivers are obviously significant. In Maryland, however, creeks too become especially important. Some are the size of rivers. Often, creek waters flow directly into Chesapeake Bay, or merge with other Bay tributaries.
Antietam Creek is a tributary of the Potomac River located in south central Pennsylvania and western Maryland in the United States. The creek became famous as a focal point of the Battle of Antietam (called the Battle of Sharpsburg in the American South) during the American Civil War. The day of the battle is known as "the day Antietam Creek ran red" due to the blood of thousands of Union casualties mixing with the creek waters. The creek is formed in Franklin County, Pennsylvania at the confluence of the West and East Branches of Antietam Creek about 2.3 miles (3.7 km) south of Waynesboro, Pennsylvania. The stream runs for about 0.5 mile (0.8 km) before entering Washington County, Maryland. The total length of the creek is 41 miles (65 km).
Conococheague Creek, a tributary of the Potomac River, is a free flowing stream that originates in Pennsylvania and empties into the Potomac River in Maryland. It is approximately 80 miles in length with 58 miles in Pennsylvania and 22 miles in Maryland. The Conococheague Creek was the northernmost extent of the range along the Potomac within which Congress in the Residence Bill of 1790 authorized the establishment of the Federal District, known as the District of Columbia. By presidential proclamation, George Washington placed the District at the lower end of the range.
Sideling Hill Creek is known as one of the healthiest stream systems in all of Maryland. Originating from the southwestern mountains of Pennsylvania, Sideling Hill Creek tumbles its way down the steep, forested, shale cliffs of western Maryland before it finally spills into the Potomac River. The preserve has several trails so visitors can explore the variety of species and natural communities that exist at Sideling Hill Creek Preserve.
Beaver Creek is 6 mi/9.7 km SE of Hagerstown near the Mt. Aetna Caverns, Appalachian Trail, and Wagners Crossroads. The Beaver Creek Fish Hatchery supplies trout to area streams and is fed by a warm spring.

| Tom on designing the Packing Cube Backpack
"I designed the Packing Cube Backpack as a result of customer requests from our forums; in fact, I think it's the first product we've made that was 100% inspired by customer feedback. Many of the details, of course, reflect my design experience, and my sewing crew helped to refine some of the subtleties of the construction. Overall, it was truly a group effort.
We took the prototype on our trip to Alaska and we used it every day: for grocery shopping, for organizing the trunk of the car, even for a day hike in Denali National Park. It's lightweight (only 9.2 oz / 260 grams), packs down to almost nothing, and yet, because of the Dyneema®/nylon ripstop fabric, tough as nails." —Tom
Made out of our custom-dyed Japanese 200 denier Dyneema®/nylon ultralight ripstop fabric, the Packing Cube Backpack is very lightweight yet tough enough for a lifetime of use for most folks.

text: Eight hundred years ago, relatively small armies of mounted warriors suddenly exploded outward from the cold, arid high-elevation grasslands of Mongolia, and conquered the largest contiguous empire in history. Led by Genghis Khan and his sons and grandsons, the Mongols briefly ruled most of modern-day Russia, China, Korea, southeast Asia, Persia, India, the Middle East and eastern Europe. They reshaped world geography, culture and history in ways that still resound today. How did they do it? Among the forces at work: the Mongols' fast horses and brilliant cavalry tactics; their openness to new technologies; and the political genius of Genghis himself. Now, a research group is looking into a possible other factor: climate change. The idea may have implications not only for our understanding of history, but for modern Mongolia and the wider world.

- Amazing! Review by Lil

I received WR3 two weeks ago and I am absolutely amazed at what it has done for my 30 year old acne prone skin. Before this I had new acne every day and the scars, discoloration, and wrinkles were multiplying. Today my skin is soft, smooth and glowing! It's clear for the first time in over 15 years and the lines and discoloration are disappearing. Try this amazing product! Thank you, DermaDoctor, and thanks to everyone for the reviews that prompted me to make this life-changing purchase

- Works for me Review by Leikela44
Price Value Quality
Price wise, it's not the cheapest but certainly not the most expensive, and since it works for me, I don't mind the price. I can't say this alone has been the biggest help in fixing my skin, but it's a great part of my routine. I'm mid-30s, no major wrinkle issues yet, but I know it's coming, and I wanted to start doing preventative care as soon as possible. But I've also had adult acne for the past 10 years, mostly cystic on my chin, and regular light breakouts on my forehead. I cant handle Retinol products, they make me break out., as does a lot of stuff. I've tried doing it the all natural way, and discovered I need something more intense - bring on the chemicals! But none of the typical acne medications worked either - salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, etc just dry out my skin and don't help the breakouts - maybe because it's adult onset and my skin is just different.
Anyway, since I started using GA and AHA products, my skin has really improved. I'll always have my skin, there's no miracle products out there (and I've tried a LOT), but I haven't had a cystic bump in ages, my skin is smooth and neither dry nor oily, and it also feels tighter. I've tried other brands and currently use a less expensive moisturizer (alpha hydrox), but as a face wash, this one is my favorite because after a few months, it's still working great with no problems. Unless that changes, this is my forever wash.

I have had acne most of my life but since I started using
wrinkle revenge 3 antioxidant enhanced glycolic acid facial cleanser,
it has gone away! It's like a miracle! I don't use anything by this cleanser and wish that I had discovered it much sooner. It leaves my face very clean without the extreme dryness and has helped

- Refreshing and Rejuvenating Review by SBA, Orange County, CA
Quality Price Value
I've never before made a big deal out of any facial cleanser. I used Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser for years and years, without knowing that a cleanser could do more than remove dirt and makeup. I'm hitting my mid-40's, so not too long ago I decided I needed to get more proactive about anything I could do to keep my skin healthy and looking good. I was having a lot of problems with AHA lotions, but I kept reading about how effective glycolic acid is for exfoliation and rejuvenation, so when I saw the Wrinkle Revenge Cleansers I wondered if my skin would fare better with a face cleanser than a lotion. Not only did it fare better, it became the best it's ever been. Any redness, flakes, enlarged pores, dullness, oilyness vanishes with regular use. I now use Wrinkle Revenge 3, morning and night and I look forward to washing my face. My face feel so refreshed, clean, and amazingly smooth after I wash it, and my skin never stings or pulls after rinsing. This cleanser is remarkably gentle, especially for an exfoliant. I love it, and I will continue to repurchase it regularly!
- Nothing more effective, regardless of your age!! Review by PLG, Lenexa, KS

I began using Wrinkle Revenge 1 and as soon as I no longer felt the tingling, I move onto Wrinkle Revenge 2. The glow it creates after cleansing and throughout the day with a slight spritz of water is amazing. You can truly see it working week to week. Now that I am using "3", I am hooked and looking at the products best suited to go with it. It has definitely changed the appearance of my skin, made it look smooth, glowing and more youthful. I would say it has taken at least 5 years off my skin since I began using it. I love the glycolic acid ingredient. I'm eager to see if she develops a "4". Once, I was use to it, I could use it a.m. and p.m. There is no need for a toner, in my opinion. Glad to know the Doctor is in my hometown and now has a store I use to only be able to order from the site.

Awesome quality
I was a little hesitant when I saw the website about how thick the magnet would be and the picture quality. I ordered the sample and everything arrived in an awesome kit along with an actual magnet. After I ordered mine and they were delivered, I was so HAPPY with how they turned out. Not too bulky and the picture quality was great. It came in a cool box with a whole packet about invitations too. Everyone loves them! Can't wait to get my invitations from them. This company is amazing and makes me confident in anything I'll order from them.
love our save the dates
We absolutely loved our save the dates and so has everyone else! They were exactly what we expected and got them on time with no hassle.
I love my invitations! I got my save the dates through Magnet Street and I was able to use my saved colors and keep the same theme for my invitations!
Just what I was looking for
My fiance and I decided not to get engagement photos but most of the save the date options we found required pictures. We have classic tastes so were looking for a magnet with simple graphics and texts. I ordered a bunch of samples from many different sites but when this one arrived I knew it was just right and my fiance agreed. We personalized by changing the pink color to cranberry to match out wedding colors and added a location to the text but otherwise just kept as is. We also ordered the the card that comes with so we could give our guests hotel accomadation information. Everything came out perfect and was such a high quality.
I'm so happy I decided to shop around and look at other websites for Save-the-Dates. I have been in love with the mustache and lips for a long time and I love that they are coming back in trend. I found a mustache and lips magnet with no picture and I really liked it but wanted one with a picture. I searched some more and found one! I love that we could personalize it with our own wedding colors. We used a rustic save-the-date sign in our engagement pictures and the part of the design that normally has the date printed I changed to read "We mustache you to....". It all came together perfectly. The price was decent and the size of the magnets is perfect, not too big and not too small. I will definitely come back to Magnet Street for future needs.

With the prescription drug epidemic killing, on average, someone every other day in Orange County, the Food and Drug Administration this week finally took its first significant step to slow the death rate.
It may not seem like much, but the FDA's move to clamp down on relatively easy access to hydrocodone indicates a long-awaited paradigm shift.
Still, for 44 people in Orange County – according to my review of coroner records – the FDA's move is too little too late. Each one accidently overdosed last year of hydrocodone-related causes.
Consider that the Drug Enforcement Administration itself recommended such a move by the FDA four years ago. Since the DEA asked to make it more difficult to get hydrocodone, also known as Vicodin, more than 100,000 people have died from prescription opioids.
James Kennedy is the father of a young man named Joey whose life and death I profiled last year. After learning of the FDA's move, Kennedy told me: Joey's "introduction to prescription pain medication started with Vicodin and that quickly led him to stronger and more lethal pharmaceutical opioids.
"I am happy to see the FDA is finally doing something about the overprescribing of Vicodin and its generic counterparts, but that is not enough."
Kennedy, of San Clemente, pointed to the staggering amounts of opioids manufactured legally in the U.S. He said flooding the market with such drugs "has created a significant increase in addiction to pain medication, which will unfortunately continue forward until all opioids are very tightly controlled."
Still, the FDA's move to curtail an epidemic that kills more people than car crashes is a start.
Consider that last month the agency was all proud that it required changing labels on opioids.
• • •
Earlier this week, Dr. Janet Woodcock, director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, noted the move to reclassify hydrocodone as a Schedule II drug came after considerable work. She wasn't kidding.
Woodcock said the FDA's decision followed "extensive scientific literature, review of hundreds of public comments on the issue, and several public meetings, during which we received input from a wide range of stakeholders, including patients, health care providers, outside experts, and other government entities."
Sure, we want the FDA to carefully evaluate drugs. But given the delay, the number of deaths and the clout of what critics call Big Pharma, the question rises who the FDA really works for.
I started writing about the opioid epidemic three years ago when it was mostly affecting teens and young adults along our golden coast and in South County. At that time, so-called "pharm parties" with young people snorting crushed pills stolen from parents' medicine cabinets were all the rage.
They still are.
Like the DEA, I called for tighter drug controls. It doesn't take a medical degree to figure out the way to slow drug flow is to tighten the faucet.
Yet, as the epidemic spread, the FDA had meetings. Earlier this year, I examined 2012 county coroner reports and found a 25 percent spike from the year before in women dying.
What was equally disturbing was that the epidemic also was spreading to other age groups. Of women ages 40 and over, the number of opioid deaths jumped from 35 to 49, a 40 percent increase.

IOC working to prevent Saudi Arabia from leaving Olympics
The International Olympic Committee said it is working to prevent Saudi Arabia from dropping out of the Olympic Games over a female judo athlete's headscarf.
The IOC said it will meet with Saudi Arabia national Olympic committee officials, London 2012 Olympic organizers and the International Judo Federation after the country threatened to drop out of the games unless Wujdan Shahrkhani is allowed to wear her headscarf while competing, The Daily Telegraph reported Friday.
"Yes we have heard that the Saudis are not happy and we will have an urgent meeting, certainly in the next two days," an IOC representative said.
Saudi Arabia ended months of controversy about a lack of female athletes a few weeks ago by announcing Shahrkhani would compete in judo and Sarah Attar would compete in track and field. However, those plans were put into question Thursday when the International Judo Federation said Shahrkhani would not be allowed to wear her headscarf during the competition.
Federation president Marius Vizer said that the decision resulted from safety concerns and "the principles and spirit of judo.
Top Headlines
If the IOC and International Judo Federation are sincere about wanting Shahrkhani to participate, they should allow her to compete with some kind of head covering.
In fact, head coverings are commonly seen in judo. One only needs to google "judo headgear" to see a variety of protective judo head coverings. These cover the back, top and sides of the head. The only additional part of the body covered by a headscarf would be the neck. What's the problem? Are the IOC and International Judo Federation creating a problem where there is none?
I'm sure that millions of women want to see Shahrkhani compete and will be cheering her on. And obviously she has the full support of her family. Go, Wujdan!
The purpose of the Hijab is to protect men from becoming aroused by the woman. It is to prevent him from sinning and if the muslim men want muslim women to wear this then why are they watching other women? Is this not causing them to sin as well? Maybe they should be banned from watching other women who are not in Hijab.

DoD, VA reassure Congress of continued growth of health data sharing
Thursday - 7/11/2013, 5:29am EDT
Defense and Veterans Affairs department officials are reassuring House lawmakers that just because they are developing separate electronic health systems, it doesn't mean the two departments aren't sharing electronic health records today and will share even more in the future.
Officials Wednesday tried to separate and clarify for lawmakers the different goals of sharing health records and having one electronic health system.
Frank Kendall, under secretary for acquisition, technology and logistics, DoD
"All of these terms, like integrated record, carry an awful lot of weight and are interpreted differently by different people. My view is that by 2014, we will have integrated records that we share with VA. That is what the near projects are doing," said Frank Kendall, the under secretary of Defense for acquisition, technology and logistics, who Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel recently put in charge of DoD's electronic health record system effort. "It's important for the committees to distinguish between integrated records and health care management software. Health care management software doesn't just make a record, but it helps the physicians do their job. That's a very important reason for us to modernize our systems. As far as records are concerned, we will have records in common standards and they will move seamlessly between DoD and VA for use by both benefits adjudication purposes and for health care purposes."
Kendall tried to tamp down the frustration by members of the House Armed Services and Veterans Affairs committees during a joint hearing Wednesday.
Data not wedded to systems any more
Several times, Kendall told committee members that the two departments can and are sharing data without having the same systems.
The confusion stems from the decade long effort by DoD and VA to share data and have a joint system. For so long, Congress, DoD and VA focused the discussion on this single interoperable system. But Kendall and others who testified say the two no longer are related.
"We are currently talking to each other. I think there is a misconception about this. VA can read DoD's records when we send them," Kendall said. "We want to have an improved system from that where we are not just reading the records, but actually using them and the data that is provided. We also want to eliminate the paper that's currently part of the records that we are sending. So we are moving very quickly to accomplish those two things."
DoD, meanwhile, also is going down a new path to create a health care management system. It announced in May it would buy a commercial system to replace its legacy AHLTA system.
"We were on the path to develop an entirely new system. It's a tough path. We decided to get off of that," Kendall said. "The costs for that were going to be exorbitant. The last estimate that I saw was $28 billion in lifecycle costs."
Kendall didn't offer more details on DoD's plans to buy a commercial system, not mentioning nor being asked by lawmakers the timeframe for a release of a solicitation or any details of the acquisition strategy.
But he said DoD's market research showed 15 viable options, including three that relied on the software behind the VA's VISTA system.
Kendall said DoD and VA share short term goals that the interagency program office oversees. He said he's reviewing those goals now and will ensure Congress knows about the specific benchmarks they intend to meet.
NDAA provision
While some committee members seemed satisfied with DoD and VA's answers, the frustration among many of the lawmakers who more closely follow the decade-long process was clear.
Reps. Jeff Miller (R-Fla.), the chairman of the Veterans Affairs Committee, and Mike Michaud (D-Maine) expressed frustration and disappointment over DoD and VA's progress.
Michaud said the fact that neither Hagel nor VA Secretary Eric Shinseki showed up to testify demonstrated a lack of commitment and leadership.
Miller said the frustration about the lack of progress boiled over into the House version of the 2014 Defense Authorization Bill.
"The amendment that was developed in collaboration of HASC, VA and the appropriators to direct the completion of an integrated health record by Oct. 1, 2016," Miller said. "The message of the amendment is simple: No more excuses, get it done."
Miller expressed the same frustration later in the hearing when Kendall asked the committee for patience as he is new to the program and still figuring out the best path forward. Miller shot back that plenty of people and money had already been spent, insinuating his patience is more than just thin.
Kendall said he understands the committee's frustration, but doesn't think the provision in the NDAA is necessary.
"I am concerned with the language in the House FY14 NDAA and the House FY14 MilCon and Veterans Appropriations Act may overly restrict both VA's and DoD's options going forward as well as impose significant oversight burdens on the programs," he said. "We would like to work with the Congress on less restrictive language that would both address your concerns and allow for efficient program execution. I commit to you that DoD will keep the committees informed of our progress and of any major developments of our health care record and health care management acquisition programs."
Kendall added DoD will work closely with VA to improve short term information sharing and long-term health care system development.
DoD and VA need to take steps to get the programs on track, but the provisions in the bills would make it difficult for DoD to do that, he said.
Kendall said he needs some time to sort a few things out, including updating its strategic plan from last fall. He said that plan doesn't reflect the changes since it was written last fall.
Next steps of information sharing
Even with all this concern by lawmakers, witnesses reassured lawmakers that DoD and VA are making real progress on information sharing.
Jonathan Woodson, the assistant secretary of Defense for health affairs and the director of TRICARE Management Activity, said the data currently shared between DoD and VA has more functionality than most private medical offices and most integrated hospital systems.
Woodson said DoD and VA have plans to do even more.
"By the end of the year, not only will we be able to exchange that information so it could be read by whomever might need the information in the Veterans [Affairs] system, but it will be computable data," he said. "Through the ongoing projects we have, through the Interagency Program Office focusing on this accelerator for this data interoperability, which is really an important feature, it will be computable data that will be real time, that allows providers as well as administrators to use the information for the benefit of the transitioning service member."
Another example of the future of DoD-VA information sharing is a project called the health artifacts information system. Woodson said the health artifacts information system will transfer data that often is hard to find and is the reason claims processing is delayed. This includes private sector medical information, which accounts for about 60 percent of all health data coming from DoD to VA.
Kendall said DoD and VA share short term goals that the IPO oversees. He said he's reviewing those goals now and will ensure Congress knows about the specific benchmarks they intend to meet.
He said the IPO is taking steps to deliver seamless, shared integrated health information on an accelerated basis:
- Developing and deploying a data management service to give DoD and VA
clinicians access to integrated patient health record information by the beginning
of calendar year 2014.
- Accessing data through a single integrated view to nine high priority sites by
the beginning of 2014.
- Making standardized, integrated clinical record data broadly available to
clinicians across the DoD and VA later in 2014.

Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - The moves that New York Islanders general manager Garth Snow has made this offseason are just as much about 2015 as they are about this upcoming season.
More than a few thought the Islanders made a mistake in opting to keep their 2014 draft pick and instead send their selection in next year's draft to the Buffalo Sabres to complete October's trade for Thomas Vanek.
Vanek, by the way, recently wrapped his season as a member of the playoff- participating Montreal Canadiens after the Islanders were forced to deal the winger to try to recoup some of the loss when it became apparent they were not going to the postseason.
In keeping his upcoming selection, Snow knows he will be picking fifth overall and will most likely be getting a talented player who can help in the future. Had he chosen to keep his 2015 pick, Snow would not have had any idea where he was picking in what is expected to be a deep draft headlined by a pair of top selections in Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel.
Obviously, Snow has to think his team will improve into a later pick in 2015 or else he isn't doing his job.
Snow can take this gamble because of the pending return of captain John Tavares, who had notched 24 goals and 42 points in 59 games before suffering a season-ending left knee injury in February while playing for Canada in the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.
Tavares helped the Islanders snap a five-season playoff drought in 2013, but New York was last in the newly-formed Metropolitan Division heading into the Olympic break and already 12 points out of a wild card spot.
In other words, Tavares needs help and Long Island isn't the most attractive option for free agents right now. That could change when the club relocates to Brooklyn for the 2015-16 season, but Snow has had to get creative.
He has done so through trades designed to get a jump on free agency, acquiring the rights of goaltender Jaroslav Halak from the Washington Capitals back on May 1 and then doing the same for veteran defenseman Dan Boyle from the San Jose Sharks on Thursday.
Halak has already forgone free agency, inking a four-year deal with the Islanders on May 22 to stabilize that important position, while New York now has exclusive negotiating rights with Boyle up until free agency on July 1.
Should they sign the 37-year-old, it will cost the Islanders a fourth-round pick heading the Sharks' way. If they do not sign him, a fifth-round selection is the cost of the gamble.
"We don't know what the future brings with Dan, but we wanted to get that exclusive negotiating window with him," Snow told Newsday. "He's a defenseman we think can help our team."
Several New York-based newspapers cited Boyle's agent as saying his client is looking for a two-year deal and according to capgeek.com, Snow has nearly $28 million of cap space to play with, so signing Boyle shouldn't be a problem.
And it is a move Snow needs to make. The Islanders are deep with defensive prospects and having a veteran like Boyle around for two years -- heck, he might even be worth three at the right price -- would be invaluable for the team's future.
That's the path Snow has decided to take in getting both Halak and Boyle while opting to part ways with a future draft pick. Signing Boyle would be sticking that plan.

You thought it was fun to pinch and zoom on your iPhone, try doing it on a 40-inch screen.
We did.
Most touch screen demos include some sort of photo box. In addition to the intuitive touch controls, a radial menu gives you more options when you double-tap the screen.
Another 3M demo lets you interact with a floating stream of photos, videos, and websites. This allows you to browse the web and interact with content instead of just watching a photo slideshow or rss feed. You can also type with a pop-up keyboard.

Multiple companies have multi-touch displays at CES. Microsoft and Intel are demonstrating touchscreens as well, and 3M also has a 46-inch multi-touch table targeted at businesses.
This display aims to contribute to "Immersive Multi-user Collaboration" instead of just presentation. Can you imagine working on a team project on one of these?

|Legislators and Advocates Discuss the Future of Children's Healthcare
All Children's Hospital, SRI International, and the University of South Florida St. Petersburg recently brought together legislative, community, hospital, and business leaders to discuss issues critical to the region, including children's health care.
The forum was an opportunity for ACH, SRI, USF and community leaders to discuss important issues with legislative leaders, and for these elected officials to ask questions and gain insight into the unique challenges faced by these organizations.Representatives from All Children's Hospital spoke about issues important to the future of children's healthcare, including:
Safety Net Hospital Reimbursement Rates
All Children's is paid below the cost of providing Medicaid services and provides over 60% Medicaid services.
Patient's Right to Choose Health Plans
Medicaid eligible patients should have the right to choose the most appropriate plan for themselves and their families.
Payments to Hospitals
HMOs are required to negotiate with providers in "good faith," which is defined as offering the Medicaid fee for service rate, which includes the exempt rate the hospital is paid under the LIP program. However, if the hospitals do not accept the Medicaid fee for serviced rate and both sides cannot come to an agreement, then the hospital is forced to accept the Medicaid fee for service rate with a 10% discount. If any of the hospital contracts are above the Medicaid fee for service rate, the rate will be reduced to either the Medicaid fee for service rate or that rate less 10%.
Medicaid/Low Income Pool
Medicaid accounts for 28% percent of the state's budget. Close to 30% of the Medicaid Budget expenditures are spent on children . The rationale for hospital rate reductions continually used by AHCA and legislators is to balance the state budget, reduce the number or growth of Medicaid enrollees, change the fundamental Medicaid delivery system, reduce the scope of the current Medicaid program, reduce the per enrollee cost of Medicaid, improve quality, efficiency, and effectiveness of Medicaid.
All LIP money is appropriated by the Legislature. In fact, state general revenue contributes only a small portion of the dollars used to match federal funds. Taxpayers in ten counties contribute 94% of the $843 million non-federal share to support Florida's LIP pool.
Trauma Funding – Red Light Cameras
Today, 'photographic technology' is available to law enforcement and if the law is updated to authorize camera use, the fine allocation should continue to be split between government and trauma centers. All Children's supports uniformity in the red light violation law so that ticketing fines and fines from red light cameras will go toward trauma funding.

In the diagnosis of coronary artery disease, helpful tests include EKG, stress test, echocardiography, and coronary angiography. Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery reestablishes sufficient blood flow to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle. The bypass graft for a CABG can be a vein from the leg or an inner chest wall artery. What is coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery? Reader Stories Read 28 Stories Share Your Story According to the American Heart Association, coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgeries are among the most commonly performed major operations. CABG surgery is advised for selected groups of patients with significant narrowings and blockages of the heart arteries (coronary artery disease). CABG surgery creates new routes around narrowed and blocked arteries, allowing sufficient blood flow to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle.How does coronary artery disease develop? Reader Stories Read 4 Stories Share Your Story Coronary artery disease (CAD) occurs when atherosclerotic plaque (hardening of the arteries) builds up in the wall of the arteries that supply the heart. This plaque is primarily made of cholesterol. Plaque accumulation can be accelerated by smoking, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, and diabetes. Patients are also at higher risk for plaque development if they are older (greater than 45 years for men and 55 years for women), or if they have a positive family history for early heart artery disease. The atherosclerotic process causes significant narrowing in one or more coronary arteries. When coronary arteries narrow more than 50 to 70%, the blood supply beyond the plaque becomes inadequate to meet the increased oxygen demand during exercise. The heart muscle in the territory of these arteries becomes starved of oxygen (ischemic). Patients often experience chest pain (angina) when the blood oxygen supply cannot keep up with demand. Up to 25% of patients experience no chest pain at all despite documented lack of adequate blood and oxygen supply. These patients have "silent" angina, and have the same risk of heart attack as those with angina. When a blood clot (thrombus) forms on top of this plaque, the artery becomes completely blocked causing a heart attack. Heart Attack illustration - Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery When arteries are narrowed in excess of 90 to 99%, patients often have accelerated angina or angina at rest (unstable angina). Unstable angina can also occur due to intermittent blockage of an artery by a thrombus that eventually is dissolved by the body's own protective clot-dissolving system.

The fourth class of the NASCAR Hall of Fame was inducted on Friday kicking off the second annual NASCAR Acceleration weekend in Charlotte. Fans were able get up close with drivers, check out many displays including those of tracks on the NASCAR circuit, and tour the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
On Saturday, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Denny Hamlin, Johanna Long and Austin Dillon made up one panel of NASCAR drivers who signed autographs and talked about the upcoming season and the new car.
At the event, Dale Earnhardt Jr. spoke about his plans to go to New York City this week to appear on a couple of morning shows after being snowed out last week.
"It's a big time of the year and it's exciting promoting the sport, getting our cars ready, and testing our cars," Earnhardt Jr. said.
"I think what NASCAR has done different is they've involved the teams on developing this car. It's an aerodynamic package that the drivers like," Hamlin said.
The drivers also expressed their interest in the Hall of Fame and its newest members, which include Leonard Wood, Rusty Wallace, Cotton Owens, Herb Thomas and Buck Baker. Ken Squier and Barney Hall received the first media award honors at the ceremony.
"I think it's great that the Hall of Fame is here in Charlotte. It's really good seeing all of the heroes and all the guys I always looked up to who helped create the sport, get inducted and be recognized. And hear some great stories and get a glimpse of what their careers were like," Earnhardt Jr. said.
"It's the greatest thing that we have it here in Charlotte. And watching some of those videos last night, I'm looking forward to seeing the next ones," Austin Dillon said.
"It's really neat just to see the history of the sport, how everyone made the sport. It was really cool," Johanna Long said.
Donald Milshap was on hand working at the show on Saturday. Originally from Alexander County, Milshap attended the first ever NASCAR race held at the old Charlotte Speedway located in west Charlotte.
"I worked for Chrysler back in the day, too. I used to drive a truckload of engines every week up to Randleman and the Petty Shops," Milshap said.
Richard Heiston came down for the festivities from Seaford, Del. He said that he has gotten into NASCAR because of his 12-year-old son Joseph.
"We tried every sport with the kids and it's been racing that has brought our family together. I was so impressed the first time I came down here to the NASCAR Hall of Fame," said Heisten.
"I got autographs from Kurt Busch, Greg Biffle, Leonard Wood and Ray Evernham," said Joseph, whose favorite driver is Jeff Gordon.
Harlow Reynolds attended the Hall of Fame Induction ceremony and has followed the Wood Brothers for 55 years.
"It's a great honor to come with the Wood Brothers now that Glen and Leonard are in the Hall of Fame. It's just great. They really deserve it. I'm waitin' for Rex White to come in behind them," Reynolds said.
Crew member recalls special Wood Bros. memory
Virginia short-track king H.L. 'Peanut' Turman, a former pit crew member for the Wood Brothers, attended Friday's NASCAR Hall of Fame Induction ceremony and shared a special story.
"We won in Daytona in 1976 when Petty and Pearson wrecked on the last lap. I reckon I was on cloud nine and I was holdin' one of the trophies," said Turman, showing a picture from that day.
David Pearson won that Daytona 500, one of his Triple Crown victories that year, but the trophy Turman was holding supposedly disappeared after that.
"When they announced that Leonard was going to be inducted into this here Hall of Fame he goes over to his mom and dad's old home place — his brother lives there, he's a preacher — and he goes upstairs up in the attic and comes out with 17 trophies, from what I hear," Turman said.
Turman was told that trophy he had held was in that bunch and was being cleaned.
"I called Bernece (Wood) and said 'Don't let that leave 'til I get down there and get me a picture holdin' that trophy.'"
"When I got there, Len (Wood) said, 'Peanut, come here, I want to show you the trophy' and he handed it to me and then said, 'No, wait a minute,' and we went back in the room where this picture was at hanging on the wall. And he gets me where he can get this picture with me holding the trophy," Turman said.
First Shine and Sign with Junior Johnson
On Saturday, the hall's first "Shine and Sign" was held where fans got to eat, sample various moonshine and get autographs from NASCAR Hall of Famer Junior Johnson.
They were treated to early racing stories from Johnson, NASCAR Hall of Fame Historian Buz McKim and NASCAR Hall of Fame Executive Director Winston Kelley.
Johnson, whose Midnight Moon is now available in 48 states, talked about his family's moonshining and some of racing's earliest competitors.
"Glenn Dunaway (Gastonia native) was the one who won the first race NASCAR ever had," Johnson said.
Dunaway, whose son Harold also was a racer, had his win disqualified due to modifications made to the car. Jim Roper was credited with the victory in NASCAR's first ever Strictly Stock race which took place on June 19, 1949 at a dirt track called Charlotte Speedway.
Junior Johnson's son, Robert, currently a college student at Duke University, was glad to see the crowd and be at another Hall of Fame Ceremony.
"It's a great event today. It's great to see all these fans come out and be able to get some food and taste some moonshine," Robert Johnson said. "I was here last night too for the induction ceremony. To forget the roots, the sport kind of would get lost. Rusty Wallace was saying some of that in his speech last night — that it's important for the young drivers to respect the sport."
Weekend Dirt Racing Results
Shane Clanton kicked off the 2013 World of Outlaws Late Model Series in memorable fashion, capturing Friday night's 40-lap 'Winter Freeze' season opener at Screven Motor Speedway in Screven, Ga. Josh Richards, who was second on Friday, held off a furious late-race challenge from Clanton to win Saturday night's 50-lap 'Winter Freeze' finale at Screven. It was Richards' 40th career victory on the WoO LMS. Mooresville's Kyle Strickler picked up a U.M.P.DirtCar modified win at Bubba Raceway Park on Saturday. Strickler's teammate Nate Caruth was second and Nick Hoffman finished third. Strickler also set a track record with a fast lap time of 16.244. Defending World of Outlaws sprint car champion Donny Schatz swept the UNOH Circuit of Champions sprint races at Bubba Raceway Park over the weekend. Tim Schaffer was second and Tony Stewart was third on Saturday. Dale Blaney finished fourth in both feature races and won the Dash for the All Stars.

Weekly Standard
They're not calling it a carbon tax or cap and trade. But make no mistake, the national "clean energy" mandate introduced earlier this month by Senator Jeff Bingaman (D-N.M.) and eight cosponsors entails both a tax and a trading measure.Bingaman's legislation has the apparent support of the White House. A day after the bill was introduced, Nat Keohane, a special assistant to the president for energy and the environment, called it "an important step towards the president's goal of doubling clean energy by 2035."By 2035, the bill requires that at least 84 percent of all electricity in the United States be produced from "clean energy" sources. Put another way, coal will be limited to no more than 16 percent of domestic electricity generation. That's a drastic reduction given that coal-fir
