9months old on whole milk?!?
Comments (10)
No. We will start at 12 months. I haven't heard of starting before 12 months. Whole milk doesn't provide all the nutrients needed for the first year that is found in formula or breastmilk
Our Pedi told us the same thing at LO's 8 month weel check. It's not to replace BM or formula, but in addition to it and not all that much. My LO is 9 months old today and yesterday was the first time he's ever had milky that wasn't from mommy. BUT... it was in a stage two food recipe that I made for him, and it wasn't even that much milk.
We're still breast milk all the way. First off, I don't want my supply to drop. Second, it's better for both he and I. And lastly, I feel BFing let he and I deepen our bond and his trust in me as a mommy.
So no, we're not giving up or even supplimenting BFing with whole milk. I save those things for meal time.

I had my ODD on whole milk only by 11 months. Honestly, I just bought a new sams size thing of formula but once its gone I will seriously consider switching.

My pedi told me the same thing, but that is because I have a nearly 15 lb pip squeak and we are desperate to give her calories. I, however, have not given her whole milk.
I had my DD on whole milk at nine months. This was 16 years ago and I guess the standards were different. I thought nothing of it at the time. She had weaned herself from breast feeding and was drinking out of a sippy cup, no bottles,and I just gave her milk. Looking back I think "wow! what were you thinking?" But she was, and is fine. I will not be doing it with my LO however. For one thing, he has a milk protein allergy. Even if he didn't, I wouldn't give him milk so early. I know it worked out fine with my daughter, but I think I'm more paranoid in my old age and wouldn't take the chance.
The newest research/recommendation is 12 months. My MIL started my husband on whole milk when he self-weaned at 10 months; my g-MIL started my FIL on whole milk at 5 months when the only formula options they had at the time made him sick, etc. I'm not surprised your pedi gave the go-ahead. Milk/formula doesn't provide a child's only nutrition at this stage, in most cases.
If my ped gives the go-ahead I'll personally drop the daily 8 oz of formula and replace them with whole milk (in addition to breastfeeding and solids) but that's a decision each individual family has to make for themselves.

We had our appt. yesterday & my pedi told us that he could have a little milk before one year (whole or 2%), but we are not to switch him over to milk until one year. Basically, we can give it to him as a drink to go with a meal (like some people would give juice), but we aren't to replace any of his bottles of formula with milk. He wasn't even telling us that we should give milk, but that we can give him a little if we want to do so.

I know that my mom switched me at around this age... So it is just a change in the recommendation. :-)

Art as social commentary: Negros Occidental artists on exhibit
Susanito Sarnate and Roderick Tijing, two artists from Negros Occidental, present their latest artworks at Canvas Gallery and Garden in Quezon City, with "Duha."
"Two" in Ilonggo, "Duha" features Sarnate's terra-cotta sculptures and Tijing's oil paintings. Though differing in medium and approach, side-by-side their works produce an interesting conversation.
Sarnate's sculptures evoke nostalgia for an innocent and wholesome past—when dragonflies in the field could summon amazement and flying a newspaper kite was a thrill.
Sarnate describes his pieces as memories and dreams of his childhood in his hometown, La Carlota.
His material, terra cotta, symbolizes land and home that are both history and a quickly gentrifying present. Sarnate says: "It is a journey back to the time when children perceived freedom as free access to food; the time when foraging naturally grown food promised a healthful living for the old folks. But the former fields have been slowly replaced by mushrooming housing projects, and the uncultivated plants can hardly survive on paved roads even in the provinces."
Tijing continues this thread, showing in his own visual style the pervasive power of capitalism and consumerism; that capitalism's very language is the same measure with which we describe our lives.
He comments: "It is like corporations raise our children and control our nations and schools, teaching us how to think. We are bombarded with ads on TV, billboards, taxis, buses…"
Thus, Tijing's images are of suits at podium preaching to the flock below; burly men on horses with prisoners in tow; or mustachioed octopus men holding every imaginable product in each tentacle.
Sarnate is a potter and sculptor. He was the winner in the 2007 International Biennale Terra-cotta Festival Exhibition and Competition in Silliman University, Dumaguete City, and the Grand Prize winner in the Pasalamat Festival in 2001. In 2003, his works were declared as the best entries in Panaad sa Negros.
Tijing was nominated for the Cultural Center of the Philippines' Thirteen Artists Award in 2012. He was a semifinalist in the 2010 Metrobank Art and Design Excellence (MADE) National Painting Competition.
Both are based in Negros Occidental.
"Duha" is on view at Canvas Gallery and Garden, 1 Upsilon Drive Ext. corner Zuzuareggui St., Alpha Village, Diliman, Quezon City. For more information, visit www.canvas.ph or contact 0917-3064175.

Killing the chickens was the worst.
For a 53-year-old organic farmer like Sachiko Sato, killing a chicken was not a novel event. "We kill chickens for food. We sell chickens. We raise chickens to eat," she said. "But this was different. This was too much."
She was sitting in the sparse conference room in the Ossining, NY headquarters of the environmental group Riverkeeper, having lunch and recalling the life-changing events of the past year in her hometown, Fukushima, Japan, as her 13-year-old daughter, Mina, slept in a chair nearby. She is part of a small delegation of Japanese farmers and the country's best known anti-nuclear activist, Aileen Mioko Smith, who came to the US to talk to anti-nuclear groups and government officials and present a petition to the United Nations High commission on Human Rights to recognize the danger posed by radiation to children.
Earlier in the week Ed Lyman, of the Union of Concerned Scientists (www.UCSUSA.org), hosted a meeting between the group and officials at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Beyond Nuclear (www.beyondnuclear.org), the American anti-nuclear group, guided the group around New York and teamed with the Indian Point Safe Energy Coalition (www.Indianpointinfo.org and www.ShutDownIndianPointNow.org) to bring them to suburban Westchester County Friday to see the area around the Indian Point nuclear power complex and talk with local farmers about the danger such plants posed to their livelihoods. They stopped at Riverkeeper, which has waged a legal fight to close the plant for nearly a decade, to rest before taking the train back into Manhattan for a meeting at the UN.
"When we met with the US officials," said Mrs. Sato, "they said they would learn from the lessons of Fukushima. "They talked about the evacuation of Americans within 50 miles of Fukushima. But now that I have been here, I realize that there is no possible evacuation plan for people 50 miles around Indian Point."
Such an evacuation would affect 21 million people, including all of northern New Jersey as far as Newark, west past the Delaware Water Gap into Pennsylvania, east to Hartford, Conn., and south encompassing all of New York City. The NRC requires evacuation plans for only 10 miles around the nation's 104 nuclear power plants.
The massive, March 11 earthquake and resulting tsunami ravaged the coastline of Japan and killed thousands of people, and destroyed safety systems and power at the huge nuclear complex. It had done little damage to the Sato's small organic farm, about 60 miles from the coast. But the meltdowns at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant were another matter. Two of the six plants in the complex were closed for refueling, but the remaining four were out of control and melted down, giving off hydrogen gas from the reactors and spent fuel pools which exploded and blew their containment buildings apart.
These were modern plants, the same make and vintage of boiling water reactors as the Hope Creek and Oyster Creek plants in New Jersey whose licenses were recently extended for 20 more years. The continuing, uncontrolled release of radiation from their Japanese counterparts threatens to overtake Chernobyl as the world's worst commercial nuclear power accident.
"March 11 changed everything," Mrs. Sato said. "The nuclear accident was particularly difficult to accept because we could not see it."
She had never paid much attention to her city's nuclear complex. After the Chernobyl accident in 1985, she said, "I talked to a friend in Yamagata, about 100 kilometers away. I had decided if an accident were to ever occur at the Fukushima nuclear power plant, I would send my children to Yamagata. But that was in 1985."
That accident in the Ukraine made her rethink the role of technology in daily living, and "I decided to learn from the wisdom and skills of the past, so that we could continue life into the next generation even if there were no imports of fossil fuels or nuclear power. That is the way people used to live, greatly valuing the connection between each other and having awe and respect for nature."
She and her husband and their five children converted the homestead into a "natural farm," growing rice, vegetables and grains, raising and tending some 200 chickens and coking their meals over firewood. They did not use plows or heavy machinery, but worked by hand, the way their ancestors had. Their organic farm became the nucleus of a cooperative organic farming community.
"It wasn't until three years ago that I actually saw Fukushima Daiichi," she said. "I was at a meeting near the coast, and we had decided that if the weather was nice we would swim in the sea. The weather was rough and the sea was choppy so we did not go for the swim, but that's when I saw the power plant.
"I had never seen anything like it. I wondered how you can live with this power plant. The discharge from the plant was hot water that was harming the fish."

"Painting relates to both art and life. Neither can be made."
Considered by many to be one of the most influential American artists due to his radical blending of materials and methods, Robert Rauschenberg was a crucial figure in the transition from Abstract Expressionism to later modern movements. One of the key Neo-Dada movement artists, his experimental approach expanded the traditional boundaries of art, opening up avenues of exploration for future artists. Although Rauschenberg was the enfant terrible of the art world in the 1950s, he was deeply respected and admired by his predecessors. Despite this admiration, he disagreed with many of their convictions and literally erased their precedent to move forward into new aesthetic territory that reiterated the earlier Dada inquiry into the definition of art.
White Paintings (1951)
Originally viewed as a scandalous swindle, Rauschenberg's White Paintings were an early codification of the artistic ideals that dominated his entire oeuvre. The White Paintings currently exist in five different permutations of multi-paneled canvases, which Rauschenberg intentionally left free of any mark of the artist's hand. By removing any gesture, the works could be, and were, re-fabricated by his friends and assistants, including fellow artists from Cy Twombly to Brice Marden. This removal of an authorial mark presaged both the mechanical appearance of Andy Warhol's silkscreened works and the slick surfaces of Ad Reinhardt's Abstract Paintings (1952-67), while also hearkening back to earlier modernist works like the monochromatic paintings of Russian Constructivist Alexander Rodchenko. The seemingly blank canvases, evenly coated in white house paint, serve as a backdrop that activates as viewers approach, coming alive with their shadows while also reflecting the light and sounds of the room they occupy. Thus, Rauschenberg succinctly allowed the "subject matter" of the White Paintings to shift with each new audience and new setting, and illustrated his interest in aleatory, or chance, processes in art, while also questioning the role of the artist in determining the meaning, or subject, of a work of art.
The White Paintings were initially exhibited in the dining hall of Black Mountain College in the summer of 1952 as a backdrop for The Event (Cage's Theatre Piece no. 1) - a multimedia performance combining poetry reading, dance, music determined by aleatory processes. During the performance, four panels of the White Paintings were suspended from the ceiling in the form of a cross with films and slides projected on them. While Charles Olsen and M. C. Richards read their poetry, Merce Cunningham danced through the audience, David Tudor played Cage's music on the piano, John Cage lectured on Meister Eckhart and Zen, and Rauschenberg himself played wax cylinders of old Edith Piaf records on an old Edison horn recorder.

Robert Rauschenberg was born Milton Ernest Rauschenberg in the small refinery town of Port Arthur, Texas. His father, Ernest, was a strict and serious man who worked for the Gulf State Utilities power company. His mother, Dora, was a devout Christian and a frugal woman. She made the family's clothes from scraps, a practice that embarrassed her son, but possibly influenced his later work with assemblages and collage. Rauschenberg drew frequently and copied images from comics, but his talent as a draughtsman went largely unappreciated, except by his younger sister Janet. Until he was 13, he planned to become a minister - a career of high standing in his conservative community. However, Rauschenberg discovered that his church called dancing a sin, and, as a skilled dancer himself, was dissuaded from a career in the ministry. He asked for and received a store-bought shirt for his high school graduation present, the very first in his young life.
Early Training
Following his parents' wishes, Rauschenberg attended the University of Texas in Austin to study pharmacology, but was expelled in his freshman year after refusing to dissect a frog. The draft letter that arrived in 1943 saved him from breaking the news to his parents. Refusing to kill on the battlefield, he was assigned as a medical technician in the Navy Hospital Corps and stationed at a hospital caring for combat survivors in San Diego. While on leave, he saw oil paintings in person for the first time at the Huntington Art Gallery in California. After the war ended, Rauschenberg drifted, eventually using the G.I. Bill to pay for art classes at Kansas State University in 1947. On his arrival in Kansas City, he decided he would mark his new life with a new first name: Bob. The following year, the newly anointed Robert Rauschenberg traveled to Paris to study at the Academie Julian.
While in Paris, Rauschenberg met fellow American student Susan Weil, and the two became inseparable friends. He saved up enough money and followed her to Black Mountain College in North Carolina after reading about, and admiring, the discipline of its famed director, Josef Albers. Ironically, after Rauschenberg entered the college, Albers criticized his work frequently and harshly. Albers' course on materials, in which students investigated the line, texture, and color of everyday materials profoundly influenced Rauschenberg's later assemblages. Rauschenberg and Weil stayed at Black Mountain for the 1948 to 1949 school year and then moved to New York City, which Rauschenberg determined to be the center of the art world. They arrived as the Abstract Expressionist movement was just reaching maturity. In June 1950, Rauschenberg and Weil were married, and in August 1951 they had a son, Christopher.
In 1951 and 1952, Rauschenberg split his time between the The Art Students League in New York, where he studied with the instructors Morris Kantor and Vaclav Vytlacil during the academic year, and Black Mountain College, where he spent the summer. His ambition secured him a prestigious solo show at the Betty Parsons Gallery in New York, exhibiting a series of White Paintings with scratched numbers and allegorical symbols (1953). Rauschenberg continued his paintings in white at Black Mountain College, where he rolled white house paint onto canvas with a roller. The flat white canvases were influenced by their surroundings, reflecting shadows of people and the time of day. He was also encouraged by the painter Jack Tworkov to explore black. His Black Paintings (1951), unlike the white series, were textured with thick paint and incorporated newspaper scraps. Also while at Black Mountain College, Rauschenberg met the minimalist composer John Cage and the choreographer Merce Cunningham, who both taught at the college and advocated the use of chance methods, found objects, and common, everyday experiences within high art. All of these ideas proved to be major influences on the young artist.
Early Mature Period
On Rauschenberg's return to New York from Black Mountain in fall 1952, Weil filed for divorce and brought Christopher to live with her parents. Rauschenberg left for Europe and North Africa to travel with Cy Twombly - a fellow student in the Art Students League and later an important Conceptual artist, with whom he was also romantically involved at the time. During his travels, Rauschenberg made his first assemblages from junk he collected in the Italian countryside. When he returned to the United States, he continued his experiments in paintings with the Red series in 1953, which featured varied surface textures like the Black series (1951), and also incorporated newsprint. Rauschenberg began to include objects in the surface of his paintings, from parasols to parts of a man's undershirt. Rauschenberg called these assemblages "combines," because they combined paint and objects (or sculpture) on the canvas.
Rauschenberg met the young painter Jasper Johns at a party in the winter of 1953 and after several months of friendship, the two became romantic and artistic partners. In 1955, Rauschenberg moved into the same building as Johns, and the two artists saw each other every day, exchanging ideas and encouraging their mutual exploration of the boundaries of art. Though their styles were initially too different to form a truly coherent movement, the intensity of their artistic partnership has been compared to the partnership between Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso. As Rauschenberg said, he and Johns gave each other "permission to do what we wanted." The pair also developed a close friendship with Cage and Cunningham, who were also living in New York at the time. The four artists shared a similar philosophy, one that was labeled as the Neo-Dada style by later art historians. They rejected the coded psychology of Abstract Expressionist paintings and embraced the unplanned beauty in everyday life. Rauschenberg's close relationship with Johns did not last, however. Johns was featured on the cover of Art News in 1957 and The Museum of Modern Art bought three of his works. This explosion of fame caused tension between Johns and Rauschenberg, who eventually ended their relationship in 1961, although they began moving apart in the late 1950s with each artist frequently working in studios outside of New York City. Regardless, Rauschenberg remained a friend and collaborator to Cage and Cunningham.
Collaboration was a recurring theme in Rauschenberg's career. His interest in dance led to a ten-year partnership with the Merce Cunningham Dance Company (1954-64), as well as with choreographers Paul Taylor and Trisha Brown. He created costumes and sets for Cunningham's troupe while Cage composed the music. He also choreographed and planned his own "theater pieces" with fellow artists throughout the 1960s. Rauschenberg's interest in the promise of technology led him to co-found Experiments in Art and Technology(E.A.T.) in 1966 with Billy Kluver of Bell Laboratories, which encouraged collaboration between engineers and artists. Rauschenberg sought collaboration in other media as well: he began to create lithographs in 1962 with Tatyana Grosman, the printmaker and owner of Universal Limited Art Editions. He later collaborated with other printmaking studios, and in 1969, he bought a house on Captiva Island, which served as the home of Unlimited Press, a printmaking studio available to emerging and established artists.
Rauschenberg was himself rapidly becoming an established figure within the art world. He earned an early retrospective in 1963 at the Jewish Museum in New York, which was very well received by critics and viewers alike. His booming popularity in America was followed by an exhibition at Whitechapel Gallery in London, and then by an exhibition of his works at the Venice Biennale, which he visited while on tour with the Merce Cunningham Dance Company. At the peak of his career, he was awarded the Biennale's first prize for painting in 1964, marking the first year this prize was awarded to an American.
Late Mature Period
In keeping with his interest in current events and culture, Rauschenberg began to integrate images of space flight into his work in the 1960s. A Modern Inferno (1965), an image created for Life Magazine in celebration of Dante's seven-hundredth birthday, portrays Dante as an astronaut. In the series Stoned Moon (1969-70), Rauschenberg incorporated photographs from NASA's records in 33 lithographs. The 1970s also marked a return to assemblage as Rauschenberg embarked on the Spreads (1975-82) and Scales series (1977-81). He used techniques and imagery from his early works, combining silkscreen prints, magazine images, and everyday objects, but with more color and on a larger scale than in previous works. While several pieces in this series sold to collectors, critics were not impressed by what they perceived as a rehashing of old methods. Rauschenberg continued to work in a large scale in 1/4 Mile or 2 Furlong Piece (1981-98), a collaged painting that grew to be even longer than its title implied.
In 1984, Rauschenberg combined his interest in traveling with his belief that art could change society, founding the Rauschenberg Overseas Culture Interchange (R.O.C.I.). He traveled primarily to developing nations and Communist countries, in defiance of then-current American Cold War policies, learning craft traditions from the host country's artists and artisans. Each of the twelve trips resulted in a major exhibition of Rauschenberg's works inspired by the host country. The culmination of the journey was an exhibition held at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. While Rauschenberg built ties with artists abroad, critics at home were unimpressed. Roberta Smith writing for the New York Times neatly summarized the project as "at once altruistic and self-aggrandizing, modest and overbearing."
Late Years and Death
In 1990, the Whitney Museum of American Art gave Rauschenberg a retrospective, accompanied by a smaller show at the Corcoran Gallery of his earlier work from the 1950s. The exhibitions cemented his status as one of the giants of the art world while emphasizing the importance of his early work in the development of modern American art. Rauschenberg won the Commandant de l'Ordre des Lettres from the French government in 1992, followed by the National Medal of the Arts in 1993. In 1996, the artist checked into the Betty Ford clinic to recover from alcoholism, which had grown more severe in his later years. He completed his rehabilitation program in time to celebrate the opening of his 1997-98 retrospective of 467 works at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, a show that took six years to prepare.
Rauschenberg suffered a series of medical mishaps beginning in 2001, first breaking his hip, which led to an intestinal perforation and then a stroke in 2002 that paralyzed his right side. With the assistance of his caregiver and friend, Darryl Pottorf, Rauschenberg learned to work with his left hand. He worked until his death on May 12, 2008, from heart failure.
Rauschenberg's work of the 1950s and 1960s influenced the young artists who developed later modern movements. Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein traced their inspiration for Pop art to Rauschenberg's collages of appropriated media images, and his experiments in silkscreen printing. The foundation for Conceptual art in large measure lies in Rauschenberg's Dada-based belief that the artist had the authority to determine the definition of art. The most fitting example is his 1961 portrait of Iris Clert, made for an exhibition at her gallery in Paris, which consisted of a telegram that stated: "This is a portrait of Iris Clert if I say so/ Robert Rauschenberg." Additionally, happenings and later performances of the 1960s trace their lineage to Rauschenberg's collaboration with John Cage at Black Mountain College in The Event (1952). The postmodern aesthetic of appropriation that influenced artists like Cindy Sherman and Sherrie Levine is also indebted to Rauschenberg's penchant for borrowing imagery from popular media and fine art. His penchant for bricolage influenced the choice of many later artists, even land artists and feminist artists, to utilize non-traditional artistic mediums in their work.
While critics agree that Rauschenberg's later works were not as influential as his earlier ones, his continued commercial success allowed him to support emerging artists. He co-founded Artists Rights Today to lobby for artists' royalties on re-sales of their work, after he observed the gains made by early collectors with the boom in the art market. In 1970, he co-founded Change, Inc., which helped struggling artists pay their medical bills. He became more politically active as he grew older, testifying on behalf of artists for the National Endowment of the Arts in the 1990s. His undying energy was at the root of his success as an artist and as a spokesman for artists, and clearly drove the far-reaching influence of his work well beyond his lifetime.

"I usually work in a direction until I know how to do it, then I stop. At the time that I am bored or understand - I use those words interchangeably - another appetite has formed.

Bring forth the toybox of war in a fast, action packed strategy game with a light hearted twist in this tribute to Nintendo and Intelligent System's Advance Wars series!
Just an overview of what Frontline is, what it does and how it will work.
Posted by TotalSnappy on Dec 24th, 2010
AW: Frontline is a real time adaptation of the long running Advance Wars series that takes the best elements of the AW series and C&C Red Alert 3 and brings them together!
Being real time we feel the objective of standard matches needs to be changed from the old "destroy every unit" objective of advance wars to a much more basic goal of "destroy the enemy HQ while protecting your own".
Players will be given bases and cities at the start of the match, both bases and cities along with HQ's generate income and repair units nearby. Bases are less common than cities, but can be used to produce ground vehicles and infantry. These structures are essential to victory and making sure you capture bases across the map will allow you to take and keep the fight away from your HQ! Do not underestimate the importance of cities however, they are also essential to fund your army and keeping them in fighting shape!
Buildings in Frontline are invulnerable (except for the HQ) meaning you cannot destroy a base or city by force, instead you will need to capture it using either an Infantry or Mech unit.
When a player loses their HQ, they, along with all their properties are destroyed and removed from play meaning in a game of more than 2 players, capturing everything that is nailed down will greatly help you in the rest of your fight.
To spice combat up, players are given a choice of CO's for each faction that determine the stats of their units and gives them access to various player powers, some of which are capable of changing the course of the battle!
Fog of War makes a return with a slight difference, not only will the fog make it harder to see what's going on but it also means even the areas you can see are in the darkness of night!
Art Direction
Red Alert 3 is often dismissed as being "cartoony". If you thought core Red Alert 3 was cartoony, you haven't seen anything yet. Sometimes less is more, this is one of those times where disproportionate and bright units are more than welcome to take centre stage!
Tank models in AW look different to this ones and the windows just looks bad.
We're not aiming for a 100% remake as for the windows browse through the sample screenshots to see how it will really look
Come on... already bashing the mod? These vehicles and buildings look very neat to me. I wonder how you will cope with infantry, though. :-)
Well said :D
I didn't want to bash the mod in anyway! I'm a fan of AW ever since. But I mean hey, who would a have tank with a front window? xD
Advance Wars, if you look at the same area on the sprite, it has the same window.
Who would stick giant infantry with massive heads out of exposed hatches 24/7 :P the Orange Star, Blue Moon, Green Earth and Yellow Comet Militaries :P
Awesome. I've been hoping for an AW remake/port to PC for sometime.
would be awsome to get little toy soldiers too :D keep up the good work

Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute:
Review of the Audit of the Financial Statements for 2013 and 2012
GAO-14-415R: Published: Mar 27, 2014. Publicly Released: Mar 27, 2014.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3406
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
GAO found that the independent public accountant's (IPA) audit of the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute's (PCORI) 2013 and 2012 financial statements was performed in accordance with professional standards, in all material respects. PCORI's IPA provided an unmodified audit opinion on its 2013 and 2012 financial statements and found that PCORI's financial statements were presented fairly, in all material respects. Further, the IPA did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that it considered to be material weaknesses nor any reportable noncompliance with the selected provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements it tested. PCORI did not disagree with the IPA report's conclusions.
GAO provided a draft of its report to PCORI and PCORI's IPA for review and comment. In response, PCORI's management and PCORI's IPA had no comments in regard to the report.
Why GAO Did This Study
This report presents the results of GAO's review of the PCORI 2013 and 2012 financial statement audit. PCORI was created in 2010 by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) as a federally funded, nonprofit corporation that is neither an agency nor establishment of the United States government. PCORI's purpose is to assist patients, clinicians, purchasers, and policymakers in making informed health decisions. This is accomplished through advancing the quality and relevance of evidence concerning the manner in which diseases, disorders, and other health conditions can effectively and appropriately be prevented, diagnosed, treated, monitored, and managed through research and evidence synthesis.
PPACA requires PCORI to obtain an annual financial statement audit from a private entity with expertise in conducting financial audits, and requires the Comptroller General of the United States to annually perform a review of the audit of PCORI's financial statements and report the results of the review to the Congress.

Notice how the 409 and 439 share a common theme as distinct from say the 42i. I expect other new models in the series to have the same look. Thats what I meant by "corporate" look. Just as e.g all current release BMWs and Audi's share certain design traits.
As I said I do like the 409 but it does support my argument that European builders are catering for the weekender/summer holiday crowd and not the full time cruisers. This is probably stating the bleeding obvious of course.
You see this in the 409 where there is no option to go two cabin and increase the size of the galley. Instead the two cabin just gives you a bigger head and a bigger guest cabin. Reality is that is not a satisfactory galley for a 40'er liveaboard cruiser. I fully realise that these are production boats and that the lack of available customisation is reflected in the price. What is more I also acknowledge that the full time liveaboard market is pretty damn small.
These are observations more than criticisms.

Ensign Timothy J. Ruth graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, Md., on May 27, 2011, and was commissioned into the U.S. Navy. He graduated with a bachelor of science degree in economics.

Warm Blessings Soup Kitchen is organizing the Cardboard Nation Sleep in a Box event to raise funds to support the Kitchen and increase awareness of issues of poverty and homelessness.
"Participants will get people to sponsor them to sleep in a box for one evening," said event organizer Linda Funk. "Under a safe setting they are asked to bring only a few necessities and to think what it might be like if they had no home, but only a box as a shelter."
It's the fourth year the Kitchen has planned Cardboard Nation.
Disease prevention is a key to public health - it is better to prevent disease than to treat it. Vaccines are one of the most cost-effective public health tools available for preventing disease and death.
Vaccines are responsible for the control of many infectious diseases that were once common in our country.
Immunizations are one of the most important ways parents can protect their children from preventable diseases.
The Lincoln Days Antique Engine and Tractor Show begins at 9 a.m. Oct. 1 at Creekfront Park.
A new category "Farm Trucks" has been added for antique farm trucks, right off the farm, 1969 and older, original stock. A trophy will be given.
All tractors will enter from Lincoln Parkway onto Tonieville Road (Ky. 3204). Parking is at First Baptist Church and lower Creekfront Park by the log cabin.
Parade lineup begins at 1:45 p.m. Plaques and hats will be given to each exhibitor and trophies will be awarded.
Our office has had several calls about how to freeze peaches. As with many peeled fruits, they will darken during freezing, so you must be treat or coat the fruit to prevent discoloration.
You can layer fruit with sugar and allow to stand 15 minutes. This may produce enough syrup with the fruit's natural juice for a good coating. You can also make a syrup of sugar dissolved in water to coat your fruit pieces.
Friends and family of the late David Stearman gathered at Creekfront Park recently to honor him with the dedication of a park bench at the site. A group affectionately known as the "Lunch Bunch" purchased the bench in Stearman's memory. He died last October after an extended battle with leukemia.
When you grow up in a community or if you have lived somewhere for most of your life, you assume you know everything that there is to know about where you live. However, most Leadership LaRue County participants will tell you that they were continuously surprised by what they learned about LaRue County when they went through the program.
Originally from LaRue County, Elizabethtown City Police Chief Ruben Gardner, 65, retired at the end of July.
He graduated from Hodgenville High School in 1964 and started working for EPD in January 1970. He began as a patrolman and worked his way up to chief, a position he's held since 1990.
In his 21 years as police chief, Gardner has several accomplishments he's proud of, he said, listing the department's accreditation, the organization of the Greater Hardin Narcotics Task Force and the department's new building.
Extreme couponers have been around for decades but it took a television show – combined with a shaky economy – to bring the practice to the forefront.
Those savvy shoppers find ways through coupons and online deals to make retailers pay them for patronizing their stores. They may haul hundreds of dollars worth of items out of stores for pennies.

What's Going On With Daredevil?
There are a lot of events we are going to be seeing at Marvel in the near future. Between the start of the Heroic Age and the brand new Avengers line-up, to O.M.I.T. and the new X-Men title that is set for release this July; Marvel seems to be doing a fantastic job in trying to keep comic audiences as interested (and broke, there I said it) as possible. However, between all the exciting stories that are going to be coming out of the "House of Ideas" this summer, the one I am most looking forward to is Shadowland, which we first heard about back in January. Call me a sucker or what have you, but the preview images of Daredevil donning a brand new costume with red glowing eyes and ruthlessly kicking ass has me practically squealing. If you have been reading Andy Diggle's recent run on Daredevil, you may recall that Matt's run in with The Hand caused him to question his ethics and whether or not killing could sometimes be justified- or at least that is what we were led to believe. In these new images, Daredevil seems a lot more ruthless, but why? Will he have a change of heart and alter the way in which he conducts crimefighting, or will we see a deeper shift in Matt Murdock's character? Is this guy in the Daredevil costume even the same character?
It would not be the first time that someone other than Matt Murdock donned the DD costume to parade crimefighting throughout Hells Kitchen! In fact, the last time we saw this happen was not too long ago during Brubaker's Daredevil run in the early 2000's when we saw Murdock's good friend Iron Fist take on the mantle. The concept of stolen identities is relatively commonplace at Marvel, anyway. Just recently, for example, we saw Bullseye take Hawkeye's identity during Dark Reign. However, now that Clint is back in his old costume fighting crime with the Avengers, whatever happened to Lester?
Headlining the Shadowland promotional posters with "the birth of the Marvel universe's greatest villain" is a pretty bold statement, wouldn't you say? Particularly if they are implying he is a villain and not an anti-hero, like the Punisher. So, what exactly is going on here and will he really become Marvel's greatest new villain? Could Shadowland be the compliment to the Heroic Age? Afterall, what is the point in having heroes if you don't have villains? I am really excited about Shadowland, which hits store shelves in July, 2010 and looks way more exciting that what's been happening in the Avengers. Are you looking forward to the new series?
I don't think that they will turn Daredevil into a villain, at least not for long. As you said someone else might use this identity.

This looks rather interesting but i can't say i'm "excited" about anything that Marvel areup to these days. (Unless they announce the return of Captain Britain and MI:13)
Well now, Daredevil is looking rather.....demonic. They really seem to be implying that Daredevil is going to become a villain, but does he really have the capability to be "The Greatest Villain" in the Marvel Universe??
I'd think G-Man would take issue with that statement. Given his love for Thanos.
I can't say I can feel any level of sympathy for Bullseye in that first shot. Given what he did to Sentry's wife.
Does that costume look all that different them his usual one? I just thought the first image was just colored darker to match a moonlit feel. Though, it's been some time since I read any Daredevil comics. The glowing eyes do seem new. lol
Well, the passing of costumes in Marvel hardly compares to how many have worn the Robin booties in DC throughout the decades.
Speaking to Heroic Age. Where ever there is light. There must also be a shadow. Could there possibly be something happening that is creating darker shadows of our heroes? Matt wanted to be an influence on The Hand. Mayhaps, The Hand had more on an influence on him then he realized.

At least some hero understood that killers and maniacs MUST BE KILLED, NOT PUT IN PRISON. Way to go, Matt.
Of course some moaners like Spider-Dumb will say that "NO WE ARE HEROES WE ARE NOT KILLERS!!!!111111 WHAT ARE YOU DOING DON'T KILL BULLSEYE GIVE HIM A FLOWER NO MATTER HE'LL ESCAPE AGAIN AND KILL MORE KIDS AND WOMEN!!!11". And of course at the end they'll take Matt down or at least stop him from killing. Because this is how the things always happen. And I don't like it.

It seems too much of a drastic change in his character to justify murder, but... it is still satisfying to see Daredevil treat Bullseye in the same way that Bullseye famously killed Elektra.

As great and as epic as the last couple of big crossover events Marvel has released in recent years, I believe Shadowland has me the most intrigued.
I'm very happy to see the lower level heroes like Daredevil, Luke Cage, and Moon Knight get some serious attention.

Great article. I can't say I'm real thrilled with the idea of Daredevil being a villain. I really like DD, and I wouldn't want that to happen to him. It could be, like you said, someone else in his uniform. It could be something that Marvel plans to do with him and then have him turn good again, as some kind of twist. I'm also not really in love with the idea of him being an anti-hero either. I'm looking forward to Shadowland also, but this is looking pretty grim. I'll be interested in how Marvel expands on this.
I haven't really been following Daredevil for some time now but I do have to say this has potential if Marvel actually have the balls to make Matt Murdoch a villain and keep him as one.
If they go down the road that someone else was in the suit or that Matt's faking it this whole time then I'm not so sure it'll have the same impact as seeing a true hero fall from grace.

This is the first Mavel event I've been excited for in a long time. Its great characters like Daredevil and Green Arrow have been getting the attention they deserve lately. I'm a big fan of the Daredevil books. Andy Diggle is making his own legacy, just as Bendis and Brubaker did before him. Shadowland is sure to be alot of fun!

I can't picture DD going evil. Certainly, I can see Matt getting dark and becoming a more ruthless vigilante, but a villain? I don't think he has it in him, and I don't think he's imposing enough as a villain to make it a permanent change.
I've actually had a weird feeling that they might actually kill Matt in Shadowland. I don't want them to, really, but I'm just gettin' a weird vibe.

This is all a marketing tool.They are using Daredevil taking over the Hand and the things they do as bait to make you think that Daredevil will become a villain.Plus the Shadowland solicits suggest he will be fighting heroes in the book.They have people thinking that if he is willing to go that far he will definitely become the villain maybe he will even be killed or incarcerated at the end of this.I don't think so. This according to the descriptions of the story is a Daredevil who has had enough. I think he's becoming more like the Punisher. He does alot of questionable things but nobody doubts that his intentions are actually noble he just doesn't go about it in a hero like manner.

i think it is him i think matt might be possed in daredevil 506 elektra tried to cut him open and take something out of him he thought it was a dream but when he woke up he was bleeding and as for him turning into a villian i doubt that especially him being joe quesasda favorite character in the marcel universe
Elektra is dead again?
no she is not she is set to appear in shadowland
" no she is not she is set to appear in shadowland "Yup.
" In that second picture, is that strings around him or what? "It's his cable, you know, from his billy club. But he does look a bit like a marionette on strings there, which is kinda fitting since all this "evil" from him is probably because he is being played by the Hand.

Fighting crime makes you a vigilante.
Killing criminals makes you a serial killer.
It's not the hero's responsibility to kill these villains, they should be given the death penalty.

Chargers failures can be traced back to draft struggles
This roster has changed. Thursday's NFL Draft is a reminder how.
Through the draft, the Chargers built arguably the league's richest assembly of talent. And through the draft, as that talent was lost to free agency or injuries, they struggled to find replacements and sustain production.
Over the five drafts between 2005-2009, San Diego selected 35 players. Of them, only four are on the current roster. Of the six first-round draft choices, one is still on the team, and that is 2009's Larry English, an outside linebacker with four career starts and none since 2010.
Weddle, a 2007 second-rounder, is the only impact player still on the team from the five-draft period. Right tackle Jeromey Clary, a 2006 sixth-rounder, is the only other current starter. Reserve quarterback Charlie Whitehurst, a 2006 third-rounder, rounds out the group.
That's it. No players from the 2008 class. No players from the 2005.
Given the Chargers' three-year playoff drought, a focus on this five-year draft period was applied to the 31 other teams with an eye on how unique San Diego's roster composition is and the relationship, if any, that drafting and retaining players has on a team in the standings. It showed that, while it is not a hard-and-fast rule, the teams that retain more of their draft picks win more games.
Tom Telesco said it in January at his first public address as Chargers general manager: He wants to build through the draft and keep his own players.
New coach Mike McCoy has been right on board.
"You always want to keep the guys you draft and re-sign them," McCoy said last week, "so it's not just a developmental for some other team. You want to try to keep your guys whenever you can. With today's salary cap, you've got to make tough decisions at certain times. We're going to do everything we can to draft the right guys and re-sign them and keep them long-term."
No one has drafted and retained better than Atlanta and Green Bay.
Their 36-game win total the past three years is tied for second most in the NFL, and their 13 draft selections still on roster is tied for first. The Packers won the Super Bowl in 2010, and the Falcons lost in January's NFC Championship Game to San Francisco, which located five starters for its Super Bowl team in the 2007 draft.
Thirteen of the Falcons' 43 picks, or an NFL-high 30.3 percent, remain in Atlanta. Ten of 17 choices in the first three rounds are among them, as are four of five first-round draft picks and the first six picks in the 2008 class, including first-rounders quarterback Matt Ryan and left tackle Sam Baker.
Thirteen of 51 Packers picks from 2005-2009, or 25.5 percent, are in Green Bay. That includes four of five first-round choices and seven of 14 selections from the top four rounds in 2007-2009.
At 39, New England owns the most regular-season wins over the past three years.
Its draft-day success is typically viewed as a key part of that, but for this five-draft period, the results, while solid, were not spectacular.

This longtime Chinatown restaurant is tremendously popular due to its reputation for excellent steamed dimsum. Despite being on two floors, it is constantly packed, especially on weekends and a long wait for a table is not unusual. However, patience will be rewarded. For the more adventurous, there are seafood dishes such as braised shark fin soup and for everyone else, the dim sum will do just fine.

Airport expansion plan moving forward
Palomar Airport's runway could be extended 18 percent, allowing longer flights
San Marcos Mayor Jim Desmond said he supports the proposal as long as long as the planes won't be landing farther east, which would make the planes closer to the ground — and louder — over San Marcos.
"They haven't really established where the landing spot will be," Desmond said Friday.
One hurdle facing the expansion is the $90 million estimated cost. But county officials said they expect to get federal grants for nearly $60 million.
And last summer's feasibility study predicted the expansion would pay for itself by boosting the economy more than $160 million during its first two decades.
Janet Adams, a United Express employee who attended the forum, said passengers often ask about the possible expansion because the airport is so much more convenient for North County residents than traveling to San Diego.

Echo Satcom Wins Distribution Agreement With Major Global Satellite Communications Provider
Echo Satellite Communications, Inc. (Other OTC: ECSC), a leading global provider of wireless, non-line-of-sight satellite communications products today announced its agreement with Satcom GLOBAL FZE (LSE AIM: SGH) (http://www.satcomgroup.com). Satcom GLOBAL has agreed to resell Echo's SatMAX(R) advanced satellite communications systems to both its Iridium- and Inmarsat-linked customers (http://inmarsat.com). Inmarsat's IsatPhone service is available within Asia, Africa and the Middle East on the Inmarsat-4 F1 satellite. "Access to these new regions through the Inmarsat satellite constellation provides immense potential for expansion of the SatMAX market," stated Echo's CEO, Don Bresina.
"Our service provider agreement with Satcom GLOBAL confirms that the SatMAX(R) technology provides value across multiple satellite constellations," stated Bresina. "We are very pleased at having this opportunity to showcase our products on both the Iridium and now the Inmarsat constellations. Our recent sales to NAVAIR, Harris Corp., Sparton Corp., and our DK Enterprises agreement, together with this new access to a major new constellation are creating terrific momentum for our products."
SatMAX(R) is an advanced communications system that enables users to quickly and easily make fully wireless, satellite voice and data communications available from any non-line-of-sight location. With a SatMAX(R) repeater, customers have the ability to access dependable and uninterrupted communication from indoor locations. Available as both fixed and mobile units, SatMAX(R) creates a satellite communications "hotspot," allowing maximum flexibility by enabling multiple callers to use Iridium-based satellite phones in both indoor and outdoor settings.
A recently released, three-minute video explaining the full range of the features and capabilities of Echo's SatMAX(R) products can be found at www.angelvisiontech.com/clients/echo_satellite.
