"Lovely house, perfectly situated, stunning views."
Very nice, clean, comfy house. Lovely private gardens with sea views. Very comfortable bed. Completely private and separate from Annexe. Will definitely return. One drawback - on a nice day unless you get parked early at Sennen you've got no chance.

"Great location and great value for the price"
There is a bus stop two houses down the road so you do not have get off the bus in Sennen Cove and walk up the steep hill like we did the first time we came. (if you are traveling Cornwall by bus) The property had some moisture issues inside when we first arrived, but that may be common in all of England... (we are from midwest USA)
10 Aug 2012
"Nice enough"
On the whole we had an enjoyable stay at Grassmead. The views from most of the rooms were amazing and having the garden was a real bonus when you have a toddler. The property was very clean on our arrival and the kitchen extremely well equipped with the lovely touch of plenty of tea, coffee and biscuits. It is a nice large property with a real bonus of the playroom/conservatory.
The negatives: -
In the advertisement for the property it states a king size bed and it wasn't. Also mentioned was a washer/dryer and it was just a washer.
The toilet door upstairs doesn't shut.
The lock on the french doors is broken.
The hoover didn't work very well even after emptying it.
The housekeeper came into the property without our prior knowledge while we were out to change the bedding and towels. While we were grateful to have the bedding changed it would have been nice to have been warned.
I was not sent the final details of our stay a week before and had to chase up the owners a few days before leaving for the arrangements.
These were all fairly minor issues and didn't affect our overall stay at Grassmead and I would still recommend this property to others.
Thank you for taking the time to respond it really is very much appreciated. When we receive the responses it helps us to address any problems our guests may have had, and gives us the opportunity, if possible, to rectify them. We are pleased to hear that although there were some negatives to your stay overall you enjoyed the property and surroundings.

Vin Crosbie | August 7, 2009 | Comments
The foundation for any news organization in this millennium should be live, interactive databases of utilitarian information.
My column, "End of an Admirable Fallacy: Local News," caused consternation among some journalists because it appeared to gore a sacred cow known as local news. But it wasn't local news I was goring.
I like local news; I'm from a family of local newspaper publishers. I spent years reporting local news. (You haven't lived until you've covered a four-hour long meeting of the Zoning Board of Appeals, something that seems to go on for a lifetime). So let me pet the sacred cow of local news.
Yet what I was trying to smash is the false idol of the local news story. It's time to declare that the story format isn't sacred, but is just one of several useful things that journalists can craft out of the clay of news and information. Moreover, it's no longer the most useful of those things.
Everyone likes a good story, but more often than not people just want the basic information.
It's good for journalists to report about routine meetings of the town council, write a nice human interest story about some local person, or craft a review of a local restaurant. But if the people in the community can't immediately find out which restaurants in town serves Chinese food (nonetheless what those restaurants' daily specials are), what the live score at the local secondary school's football game is, who's playing tonight at each of the local bars or pubs, and what local roads are scheduled to be closed for repairs starting tomorrow, then the journalists' stories about a routine town council meeting or some local person have been distractions from providing your people with more useful and quotidian information.
There are exceptions to this: Journalists should report investigative stories, urgent and bulletin stories, and provide the really important stories. However, only about 20 to 25 percent of stories in the average daily or weekly newspaper or news magazine actually fit those categories.
In his blog, University of South Carolina Professor Doug Fisher, a former news broadcaster and Associated Press editor, picks up on my column and runs it closer to the goal line:
"Interestingly enough, it seems that more people examining and commenting on journalism, its business models, etc., are coming roundabout to the same conclusion. Michael Shapiro, for instance, in his comprehensive look at the free/paid debate so far for "Columbia Journalism Review" suggests that what we might be able to sell are those turn-of-the-screw, process details we have largely eschewed in journalism in the past three decades in favor of 'story' (only most of those attempts still were not the kind of 'story' Crosbie refers to)."
No those attempts aren't, but they are on the right track.
I've come to the conclusion that the foundation for any news organization in this millennium should be live, interactive databases of utilitarian information; providing the community with comprehensive "information" about what's going on, what's for sale, what's forecast, etc., rather than necessarily providing the community with a selection of "stories" about those things. Provide the information first, then the stories.
This applies not only to local news organizations but to regional and national ones to. Not just to newspapers, news magazines, and news broadcasters, but to trade journal and topical magazines, too. The community you serve might be geographic or simply people interested in a trade or topic.
As for the story as format, I may seem radical declaring it to be a false idol, but not compared to Kevin Marsh, editor of the BBC College of Journalism, the journalism training site for the world's largest news organization. It last month issued a document called "The Future of Journalism. Marsh wrote:

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Stocks finished modestly lower Monday, marking the first monthly decline in 2012, as shaky U.S. economic data dominated the headlines.
Worries about the sovereign debt situation in Europe also returned after Spain reported a 0.3% decline in gross domestic product for the first quarter, a performance that was actually a bit better than expected but still pushed the country into recession territory. The report came as Standard & Poor's slashed its credit ratings for 11 Spanish banks, referring "potentially negative implications" from the downgrade of the country last week.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average gave back 15 points, or 0.1%, to close at 13,213. The S&P 500 dipped 5 points, or 0.4%, to settle at 1398, and the Nasdaq dropped by 23 points, or 0.7%, to finish at 3046.
For the month, the Dow finished up less than 2 points, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq lost 0.7% and 1.8% respectively. The major U.S. equity indices posted their best quarterly gains in years in the first three months of 2012. Year-to-date, the Dow is now up 8.2%, the S&P 500 has added 11.2%, and the Nasdaq has gained 17%.Both the Dow and S&P 500 had risen for four straight days headed into Monday's session, while the Nasdaq snapped a three-session winning streak. Breadth within the Dow was fairly even with 15 gainers, 14 losers and 3M (MMM) finishing flat. The biggest percentage gainers among the blue chips were Cisco (CSCO), Kraft Foods (KFT) and AT&T (T). Kraft shares added 1.2% after the stock was upgraded to overweight with a $45 price target by JPMorgan, saying it expects the company to top Wall Street's earnings expectations when it reports its first-quarter results later this week. Prominent Dow decliners included Bank of America (BAC), Caterpillar (CAT), General Electric (GE), and Procter & Gamble (PG). P&G shares fell 1.3% after the company was downgraded to perform from outperform at Oppenheimer & Co., which expressed frustration with the consumer products giant after last week's quarterly report and lowered outlook. "The company appears to have been disproportionately impacted by sluggish market growth, exacerbated by market share losses which imply P&G's problems are more structural in nature," said the firm, which also removed its $75 price target. "While we expect some incremental improvement in trends, the company is likely to remain growth-challenged and no longer warrants the benefit of the doubt."

Special Correspondent
"Once the process is over, I will bring it before Parliament and abide by the House"
NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has offered to place before Parliament the civilian nuclear deal with the United States and to abide by the House, provided his government is allowed to complete the process of negotiations with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the Nuclear Suppliers' Group (NSG).
"I have said it before. I will repeat it again that you allow us to complete the process. Once the process is over, I will bring it before Parliament and abide by the House," he said on the side-lines of a function at his residence on Monday morning.
This is his first comment during the current stand-off with the Left.
"I am not asking for something that the government should not be doing. I am only saying you allow me to complete the negotiations. I agree to come to Parliament before I proceed to operationalise [the deal]. What can be more reasonable than this," the Prime Minister asked.
Insisting that "all that I want is the authority to proceed with the process of negotiations through all stages like the IAEA and NSG that will not tie down the hands of the country," Dr. Singh noted that the BJP and the Left parties would have an opportunity to discuss the deal in Parliament. "If Parliament feels you have done some wrong, so be it," he said.
Asked about the Left's stand of withdrawal of support to his government, the Prime Minister said "we will grapple with that stage when we come to it."
Dr. Singh also refused to react to CPI(M) leader, Prakash Karat's view that the current crisis was precipitated by the Prime Minister's insistence on going to the IAEA.
He said: "There is nothing new in what the Left parties have said. I have not given up hope still."
Dr. Singh, however, parried a question whether he would go to the G-8 summit in Tokyo.

Ebola virus disease is a severe disease that causes haemorrhagic fever in humans and animals. Diseases that cause haemorrhagic fevers, such as Ebola, are often fatal as they affect the body's vascular system (how blood moves through the body). This can lead to significant internal bleeding and organ failure.

Norwegian Epic Photos: Float Out and Ship Tour
Before the valves are opened, the group tours Norwegian Epic's dry dock. That massive rectangular window with inlaid squares that looks a bit like the Wheel of Fortune board (simile courtesy of Melissa Baldwin Paloti, Cruise Critic's Managing Editor)? That's the window wall in the Manhattan Room, one of Epic's two main dining rooms. Epic fact: At 130 feet wide (actually varies a bit due to the curved superstructure) and 1,068 feet long, it's 2.2 laps around the ship to a mile.

Rikers Island Lawsuits Over Diabetic Care
By Albert Samaha
At the Nassau Coliseum during the Carolina game, packs of children ran through the otherwise empty arena corridors, milling around by the concession stands and talking with the hot-dog grillers, who seemed to welcome the conversation as something to relieve the boredom. Inside there were vast prairies of empty seats. You half expected to see tumbleweeds rolling down the stairs. The official attendance in the 16,000-seat building that night was put at 9200, but there's no way more than half the seats were filled4000 is probably the correct figure. It felt like a minor league gamesay, the Austin Ice Bats vs. the Macon Whoopees: The goal judges sat out in the open, Carolina's spare goalie sat in the first row of seats because there was no room on the bench, and then there was what was happening on the ice.
The Islanders don't have a whole lot of players that even an avid hockey fan has ever heard of, and it shows. In the first period, Carolina went up 3-1 on three goals in which the scorer had ages to choose which corner of the net he was going to shoot the puck into. This was the Isles' most memorable shift: Zdeno Chara, all 6-foot-9 of him, hits the Carolina blue line while trying to beat the puck into submission and loses it off the end of his stick. Mariusz Czerkawski takes the loose puck, passes to Claude Lapointe, and puts himself offside. Lapointe has to wait for Czerkawski to get back onside, so he plays it over to Brad Isbister, who tries to drop it back to Roman Hamrlik on defense in the Islander zone. But the pass is off line, and the disk skitters all the way back to goalie Rick DiPietro, who must leave it behind his net for Chara. The Islanders have now retreated some 150 feet without the other team so much as having touched the puck. At this point the Czech pylon Chara tries to start anew, but he lays his pass right on the tape of a Carolina player, whose screaming slap shot Di Pietro somehow stops. Incredibly enough, this is the Isles' first line! In an NHL watered down to nothingness by expansion, the Islanders' roster stands out as perhaps the most nondescript the league has ever seen.
The game ended at 3-1, but it was as listless and awful as a slow-paced scoreless tie. It's amazing that the Isles could have been even worse a couple nights later. But they were, and Butch Goring became the fifth coach fired by general manager Mike Milbury (including Milbury himself, twice) in his six years as GM.
The real tragedy here is that the Isles probably have more fan-activist groups than any other NHL team in America, and, boy, are they suffering. Just listen to Steve Ellers, president of the Save the Islanders Coalition (STIC), a 500-member group that has spoken out against the mismanagement of the team loudly and intelligently since 1995. "We got hundreds of e-mails over the past few weeks," he said on the night Butch was fired, "and only about 2 percent of them said Goring should go. The vast majority want Milbury out. With Milbury, it's just the same bullshit year after year. We're basically sick of looking at him for six years, not being able to do anything with this franchise."
Milbury makes the late, demented Leaf owner Harold Ballard look like Bertrand Russell. He publicly insults his players ("Hellothis is not Val d'Or," he once said about Roberto Luongo, one of a half dozen promising young goalies he's discarded, "it's the NHL") and their agents (he said that Ziggy Palffy's agent was "depriving a village of a good idiot")not the best motivation tool. Islander fans grew so outraged they took to chanting "Mike Must Go" in organized protests at the Coliseum this season, a throwback to when Milbury also served ineptly as the bench coach. Yet somehow he survives.
Maybe it makes sense, though, in the context of the Islanders' recent ownership historysix sets of owners in as many years, including a group nicknamed the Gang of Four; a "billionaire" who turned out to be flat broke and is now serving jail time for bank and wire fraud; a pair of businessmen who fought with Nassau County and the Coliseum management company, then tried to get the building declared unsafe in a maneuver that got laughed out of court; and now Charles Wang and Sanjay Kumar, local software millionaires whom fans welcomed when they bought the team last year. But the honeymoon is over; at a "town meeting" with Islander fans last month, Wang told a loudmouthed season-ticket holder to "shut up and sit down," which didn't go over well with a lot of Isles supporters, and now there's this Goring-Milbury thing. "It was like they spat in my face last month when they said Milbury was staying," Ellers said of Wang and Kumar. "And when they did this to Goring today, it was like they stuck a knife in my back."

Is Jon Husted Getting Worried About Nina Turner?Submitted by Anastasia Pantsios on Sat, 02/08/2014 - 10:51am.
Would you buy a used redistricting plan from this man?
This week, this noble-sounding editorial written by Husted appeared in the Washington Post:
In it he comes out strongly against gerrymandering, expending lots of words to say how it has upset the balance of our political process.
Why NOW, after he's been in office three years, time in which he could have been a strong public advocate for this? It couldn't be about that election coming up, could it?
He goes on to promote the same better-but-still-weak idea for fixing redistricting that he's been flogging since he was in the legislature: a larger redistricting board requiring a super-majority with at least one minority vote to pass a map. The map would have to be "compact and competitive" with counties and communities not split.
Here's my beef with this. While his colleagues were busy slicing and dicing the state to their own benefit, creating the outrageously unbalanced maps that have resulted in a 50-50 state having a 12-4 Republican-favoring congressional delegation and super-majorities of Republicans in both houses of the legislature, Husted said nothing. He said nothing as they were even splitting precincts in pursuit of packing Democrats into a handful of districts and keeping most for themselves. Afterward he suggested that this wasn't a great idea. Thanks, Jon.
Portune Is OutSubmitted by Anastasia Pantsios on Mon, 02/03/2014 - 8:35am.
Thank goodness.
Hamilton County commissioner Todd Portune did a lot in the past month or so to sully his name and reputation with people outside his county who had never heard of him before when he announced his quixotic , last-minute challenge to Ed FitzGerald in the Democratic gubernatorial primary.
He would have had to have located a running mate — he seems have a zeroed in on a guy from Toledo — and gotten his 1,000 signatures to file by Wednesday. In the statement he released he seems to have recognized that the lateness of his entry into the race was a factor he couldn't overcome.
No kidding.
And he still gives no real reason for having gotten in the race in the first place, other than what he's been saying all along — that he's hearing from some people they aren't happy with Ed and that he thinks he would have more appeal to black voters. No clue why he, a white man from whiter Hamilton County, felt this. He never articulated a policy agenda that included stances so compelling to African-Americans that they would vote for an unknown white guy from another part of the state. He never explained how he would appeal to the state's largest block of black voters — those in Cuyahoga — with insufficient time, name recognition, or relationships with leaders in that community.
He suggested early on that it had something to do with FitzGerald's choice of Eric Kearney, an African-American state legislator, as his running mate, and then shedding him from the ticket when Republicans and the media went into hyper-overdrive about some tax issues Kearney had. Apparently, Portune was offended by this and latched onto this as a partial reason to challenge FitzGerald.
When a Difference 4 Years Makes When It Comes to Women & Ohio DemocratsSubmitted by Anastasia Pantsios on Mon, 01/27/2014 - 10:42pm.
Columbus-based political writer John Spinelli has an article today about something a lot of us have been talking about: the surge in prominence of women in the Ohio Democratic Party.
Four years ago this time, there was a lot of discontent among Ohio Democratic women activists.
We were still several days away from the withdrawal of Jennifer Garrison from the secretary of state race after more than six months in which key Democratic women in the state had talked themselves blue to party staff and officials about the unacceptability of such an anti-choice candidate.
The process of getting her off the ticket and naming a replacement left many women even more disillusioned. That was added to the feeling many of them had that Jennifer Brunner's campaign for U.S. Senate was never taken seriously by party insiders, and that she was being pressured into stepping aside for Lee Fisher and trotting back to the SoS race like a good little girl, taking a hit to help the party.
There was a lot of conversation among Democratic women (I still have the emails) about tokenism in the party that was barely mollified by Governor Ted Strickland's choice of Yvette McGee Brown a few weeks earlier to replace Fisher as his lieutenant governor.
Garrison was replaced with another woman — the highly qualified and much more politically acceptable Franklin County clerk of courts Maryellen O'Shaughnessy. But by then, the discontent was hardening, also driven by a sense that the party was less than fully behind Mary Jane Trapp's candidacy for state supreme court and what was perceived as a dismissive attitude among certain male staffers at the ODP. I personally perceived this from a now-moved-on staffer.
Now Ohio Democratics have a historic ticket. It doesn't feature one token woman — women comprise half the ticket.
Sharen Neuhardt Nails ItSubmitted by Anastasia Pantsios on Sun, 01/26/2014 - 11:49pm.
Sharen Neuhardt is going to prove a huge asset to Ohio's statewide Democratic ticket.
She's already demonstrating her ability to articulate Democratic values clearly and concisely in ways that are easy to understand. It's no wonder that Democratic activist women are just over the moon about this pick of gubernatorial candidate Ed FitzGerald to be his running mate.
An article in today's Youngstown Vindicator describes her presentation at a campaign stop in the Mahoning Valley yesterday.
"Women's issues more than abortion."
You'd better believe it — and the GOP is wrong on all of them.
"Women's issues are Ohio economic issues," Neuhardt said during a campaign stop Saturday at Cafe 422. "When we reduce every woman's issue to abortion, we do a disservice to the women of this state."
She pointed out how the actions of the Republicans who dominate our legislature thanks to gerrymandering have hurt women across the state.
"They callously disregarded the needs of women," said Neuhardt, who is pro-choice and a former board member of Planned Parenthood. "None of these services where they cut funding are related to abortion."
They don't care — it's as simple as that. They don't care if women are less healthy and more impoverished, yet forced to give birth to children they can't support. They don't care if women's life choices are severely constricted, preventing them from giving a child what she needs to flourish.
Sharen Neuhardt is already making a difference. And it's one the Republicans won't be able to counteract by trotting out long-disappeared lieutenant governor Mary Taylor to prattle about what a disaster the Affordable Care Act is and lie some more about it.
Will Their Perversion of Democracy Never Cease?Submitted by Anastasia Pantsios on Sun, 01/26/2014 - 11:22pm.
So… we have Ohio attorney general Mike DeWine using our tax dollars to appeal a court decision limiting the ability of Ohio Republicans to keep third-party candidates off the ballot.
We also have our secretary of voter suppress … I mean STATE … Jon Husted setting "uniform" early voting hours for all of Ohio's 88 counties — hours which offer disproportionate difficulties to working people by failing to provide any significant evening or weekend hours.
The two of them fought like crazy to block or limit the most popular early voting period, the three days before an election.
Now we've learned of another outrageous situation down in Hamilton County.
Currently its board of elections is located in downtown Cincinnati. And it's looking to move. It's eying a location about 10 miles out of downtown. It's also looking to move its early voting location there — the only early voting location in the county. And, this being Ohio, where we don't fund such things, it's dauntingly difficult and time-consuming to reach by public transit.
The four BoE board members — twp Republicans and two Democrats — will vote on this move tomorrow. It's not unlikely the vote will deadlock — with Republicans favoring this move and Democrats opposing it. That means Husted would break the tie. All eyes on Husted …
Democratic Council member P.G. Sittenfeld told WLWT that elected leaders will hold a press conference at 8 a.m. Monday before the board's 8:30 a.m. vote on the move.
Sittenfeld said he and others believe the move will disproportionately affect voting access to women, minorities, seniors and low-income voters. It could also limit early voting.
Who Supports Women & Who Doesn'tSubmitted by Anastasia Pantsios on Thu, 01/23/2014 - 12:28am.
Well, we all know who doesn't: the right-wing Republican zealots in the Ohio legislature and Governor John Kasich who is such a wimp he won't even take a bold, strong stand, ducking and dodging and then murmuring vaguely that he's "pro-life," which he isn't considering that he's made it much more difficult for people in Ohio to have quality of life.
Democratic gubernatorial candidate Ed FitzGerald, who just picked the strongly pro-choice Sharen Neuhardt as his running mate, does. He's as straightforward as Kasich is cowardly and evasive.
Today on the 41st anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's Roe V. Wade decision, he told reporters candidly what is going on: that the effect of the increased abortion restrictions hammers poorer women while more affluent women still have the ability to control their own reproduction.
Referencing the closing of a CIncinnati abortion clinic on a catch-22 technicality, FitzGerald told reporters,
That's where you're going to get more and more, when it comes to health care, in a situation of haves and have nots. Because for individuals in the Greater Cincinnati area that have economic resources to travel, it may not be much of a burden on them. But for women who are middle class or working class or the poor, those are the people who are going to have their options restricted.
Precisely. And of course, our legislature is also making it infinitely more difficult for those less affluent women to house, clothe, and educate the children the state wants to force them to have. That's anti-life, not pro-life. (And of course, none of these radical misogynists in the legislature has expressed any outrage about the infant mortality rates in some poor urban neighborhoods in Ohio).
On the 41st Anniversary of Roe V. Wade, Attacks on Women's Rights Energize Pro-Choice SideSubmitted by Anastasia Pantsios on Thu, 01/23/2014 - 12:00am.
Today is the 41st anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court decision that's probably best known to the public — Roe v. Wade, the decision that assured woman the right to choose abortion if that was the best option for her.
That right has been under attack ever since, a parental notification law here, a waiting period there. For instance, the just-ended (thank god!) session of the Ohio legislature found right-wing zealots jamming a bunch of extraneous anti-choice measures into the budget bill — with no debate, no hearings, no nothing.
And then it was signed by Governor Kasich late on a Sunday evening, a low-attention news surrounded by six other middle-aged white men and no women. Despite pleas from thousands around the state that he line-item veto these provisions that had no business in the budget bill, he did not do so (although he managed to veto a provision pertaining to the private ownership of monkeys). The constitutionality of using the budget bill in this manner is being challenged in a lawsuit by the ACLU on behalf of Preterm Cleveland.
The secretive and hurried passage warded off the public outcry that took place around the passage anti-choice legislation in Texas — blowback that has turned state legislator Wendy Davis into being a viable candidate for governor of Texas.
Now some Ohio legislators are now proposing even more stringent restrictions, taking away women's choices in increments. This approach is especially malicious because it has most impact on poor and working women — by making abortion costlier and more time-consuming, requiring travel, time off from work, or expensive, medically unnecessary, testing. These stipulations don't have as much impact on affluent women. Earlier this week, a clinic in Cincinnati was shut down by the state, thanks to a technicality set up by the provisions in the budget bill.
David Pepper Vows to Protect Voter RightsSubmitted by Anastasia Pantsios on Tue, 01/21/2014 - 12:30pm.
As we've discussed before, Ohio attorney general Mike DeWine has wasted our tax dollars on, among other things, court cases appealing for the state to be able to limit voter rights and voting opportunities.
This is an abuse of his office, using his position to push partisan initiatives intended to make voting more difficult for those least likely to vote Republican.
So it's very significant that his Democratic opponent David Pepper used the occasion of Dr. Martin Luther King Day to issue a position statement on voter protection and voter rights. You can read it here, and I urge you to do so:
As he reminds us,
Over the past three years, Ohio's legislature and/or statewide office holders have repeatedly curtailed this most important right—whether it was by terminating early voting hours for most Ohioans, disqualifying voters who were victims of poll worker error, or limiting ballot access for Libertarians and other third party candidates.
And through case after case, appeal after appeal, courts have consistently ruled that these lawmakers violated the constitutional rights of the very people who put them in office.
He's laid out a very specific plan for how he will handle voting issues when he is attorney general.
Among other things, he says he will create a voting rights unit in the office's civil rights division to work with the secretary of state — hopefully Nina Turner — to investigate ANY attempts to subvert the voting process, including the GOP's favor fantasy, voter fraud. Since REAL cases of voter fraud are very few, that won't take much of their time. But they'll also deal with complaints of voter suppression and intimidation.
Ed FitzGerald Names Sharen Neuhardt as Running MateSubmitted by Anastasia Pantsios on Fri, 01/17/2014 - 12:43pm.
Some extraordinarily good news this morning as Ed FitzGerald names Sharen Neuhardt as his choice for running mate.
One thing that jumps out for many of us women is how historic this is. In the past, party slatemakers have cast around for that "token" woman to put on the ticket, for instance, Barbara Sykes in 2006 (alas, the only Democratic statewide candidate not to win that year). In 2010, we made progress — there were two (lieutenant governor candidate Yvette McGee Brown and secretary of state candidate Maryellen O'Shaughnessy).
With the addition of Sharen to the ticket, it's now split evenly between men and women. You know — like the WORLD.
Those of us who have gotten to know Sharen during her two runs for Congress know exactly how good this news is. Despite uphill runs in very Republican districts, she worked tirelessly and never gave up, never phoned it in, raising a considerable amount of money. Alas, in 2012, she faced the inexplicably popular long-time incumbent Mike "Who?" Turner, whose invisibility seems to work in his favor.
More recently, just this past October, Sharen was the speaker who introduced the program during the "We Won't Go Back" rally for women in Columbus at the Statehouse.
And in a little-known and now largely forgotten episode, in 2010, when the state Democratic Party was pushing the anti-choice, anti-gay Jennifer Garrison for secretary of state and telling women who complained to them that the party wasn't supporting anyone (suuuuuuuure) and that we should just go out and recruit our own candidate, Sharen answered our call to step up.
What's the Job of a State Attorney General?Submitted by Anastasia Pantsios on Sun, 01/12/2014 - 11:59pm.
What are the duties of a state attorney general?
If you listened to campaign ad propaganda, it's all about pursuing high-profile rape and sexual abuse cases, particularly putting pedophiles behind bars.
Don't listen to that. That's stuff that plays well in campaign ads, but it's police work. It's not really the role of the attorney general.
At its most basic, his job is to defend the state in lawsuits. Beyond that, he can do many things to protect the state from wrongdoers. Our last attorney general Rich Cordray, for instance, sued underhanded mortgage brokers who cheated Ohio citizens, and won a boatload of money back for taxpayers.
Then there's our current AG, Mike DeWine.
He has a different vision. Sure, he's grandstanding over some of that high-profile stuff. But he's also been using the office — and our tax dollars — to promote his personal ideology. And that ideology doesn't involve defending the rights of Ohioans — it involves taking them away.
Wrong direction, Mikey.
In 2012, when Jon Husted was hot to shut down voting the three days before the election — the heaviest early voting days — and eager to appeal it to the U.S. Supreme Court, DeWine could have been the cooler head that prevailed, giving Husted the legal advice that this fight wasn't worth the time and money. Instead they pursued it, and the Supreme Court rejected their case, keeping those early voting days intact.
But DeWine really racked up a record of using tax dollars to deprive law-abiding, tax-paying citizens of their rights last year.
It apparently wasn't enough for Ohio's GOP zealots to pass new abortion restrictions. DeWine fought for the right of private, non-religion-related businesses to deny women contraceptive coverage. Never mind that that would increase abortions.
Then he fought to deprive a pair of men married in another state, one of whom was dying, to have their marriage recognized on his Ohio death certificate. How compassionate!
Get Lost, Todd Portune Part IISubmitted by Anastasia Pantsios on Tue, 01/07/2014 - 7:37pm.
So at virtually the last minute, Hamilton County commissioner Todd Portune has decided that maybe he just might enter the Democratic primary campaign for governor.
This after Cuyahoga county executive Ed FitzGerald has spent more than a year traveling around the state getting to know key activists, nailing down key endorsements form Democratic leaders and progressive organizations, and laying the groundwork for a wider campaign. Ed announced his run last April.
Why is Portune running? That's anyone's guess. He said something about being upset that Ed dropped Cincinnati state senator Eric Kearney as his running mate after the Republicans and the media whipped up a frenzy over Kearney's tax issues, a controversy you KNOW they weren't going to let die. Ed and Eric apparently took a look at the shit storm and decided it would be best for all concerned if Kearney stepped aside. I don't know what brilliant ideas Portune had for making this go away.
Portune starts in a very weak position. Like Ed a year ago, he's totally unknown outside his home county. And although Ed's recognition among the general public is still low, he's made himself known over the last year to the party faithful — the people who carry the message to the general public. Now Portune apparently thinks he can do this same work in a mere four months.
Good luck with that. It reminds me a little of the position Maryellen O'Shaugnessy was in back in 2010 when she was tapped for the secretary of state slot in February 2010 after rising objections within the party forced it to dump its previous candidate Jennifer Garrison. Maryellen was a dynamo, but she just couldn't overcome having to raise her name recognition outside of HER base of Franklin County in that time.
Liz Walters to Head Ohio Democratic PartySubmitted by Anastasia Pantsios on Tue, 01/07/2014 - 6:56pm.
Good news!
Yesterday, Ohio Democratic Party chair Chris Redfern announced that the ODP has named Liz Walters as its new executive director, replacing Kyle McDermott.
McDermott, who had been executive director since April 2011, left the party in October to go to work for Columbus-based progressive consulting firm JVA Campaigns. Since then, the party's deputy executive director Liz Brown had held the position as an interim, but she too had announced her intentions to move on.
The party had mounted a national search for McDermott's replacement and found her in-house: Liz is currently the ODP's political director. Before coming to the party she was involved in the campaign to repeal union-busting SB 5 and also worked for former congresswoman Betty Sutton, who represented the Akron area where Liz hails from.
Those of us who have interacted with Liz in the two years she's been with the ODP have seen how dynamic, articulate, and strong she is. She'll definitely be an asset in the campaign to retake the statewide offices this coming November.
In addition, it's going to be a plus to have a woman in the party's top position. That'll help shed the lingering perception — which in the past has too often been justified — that the ODP isn't appreciative of its women foot soldiers and activists and too often has treated women's interests as if they are mere side issues.
This was certainly a factor in 2010, when the party brushed off concerns about secretary of state candidate Jennifer Garrison's anti-choice positions as not terribly relevant. Unfortunately, they were relevant to many women in the state Democratic base whose enthusiasm for the campaign as a result was less than it might have been.
Good luck, Liz!
Republicans: they really are insaneSubmitted by Derek K on Fri, 01/03/2014 - 6:54pm.
So I was reading a Cleveland.com article about Brenda Mack, person who is slated to be a Lt. Governor candidate running to primary John Kasich.
I ventured down into the comment section of the article mainly to see what the right-wing weirdos had to say about the race. While I didn't see a lot of comments at the beginning about the race, I was still treated to some very bizarre comments. Take this guy who goes by the moniker, Wherreismarciafudge1. Please notice the guy can't even spell "where" correctly. His comment...
"Oh, and I ask again, when will this paper publish a story regarding the fact that the Kenyan village idiot that is laughingly referred to as a President, release from prison the fat, stupid cow that represented the "blind sheik" when he was prosecuted for the 1996 World Trade Center bombing? You remember this gem. She used lawyer / client privilege to pass money and strategic information along to the sheik's terror group, thus endangering American Citizens. Tell me that this pile of dung does not have it in for this country. As for the cow, she lives in Brooklyn NY. Hopefully someone there will do their patriotic duty. God knows that the Kenyan village idiot won't."
This story is on Brenda Mack, and her past tax problems.
Seriously, how screwed up do you have to be to write something like that? It's almost a compulsion where he's so brainwashed he can't help it.
Further down in the article this person discloses that he ran for a seat on Cuyahoga County Council. Surprisingly he lost.
What's wrong this country? I read stuff like that and I just really don't know.
Matt Borges heads the party of "personal responsibility"Submitted by Derek K on Fri, 01/03/2014 - 4:13pm.
Holy Moly!
The Examiner.com has a story about how Matt Borges, chairman of the Ohio Republican Party had masterminded a major laundering scheme. The Examiner writes...
"It is not widely known by party regulars that Matt Borges was the mastermind of a scheme to put Ohio tax dollars in the hands of infamous thief Frank Gruttadauria in return for a large campaign contribution to Borges' boss at the time, Ohio Treasurer Joe Deters. Borges pleaded guilty to a public corruption charge for his plot to conceal the campaign contribution by directing the funds to the Hamilton County Republican Party, which laundered the money for Deters."
The article continues...
"While Borges' record has been expunged, his character has not been cleansed by contrition. Within minutes of the guilty plea, Borges was complaining of being the victim of a prosecutorial witch hunt."
This guy heads the Ohio Republican Party. The party that screams "personal responsibility!"
Talk about a hypocrite - - while I'm no fan of the chairman of the Ohio Democratic Party at least he's not an out right criminal.
Seriously Ohio Republicans that's just plain sad. Do any of you really stand for anything? I guess it is appropriate that he is your chairman, because he's a joke, and that seems to be your party.
By-the-way, Frank Gruttadauria, worked for Lehman Brothers... who else worked for Lehman Brothers?...
Get Lost Todd PortuneSubmitted by Derek K on Mon, 12/30/2013 - 5:25pm.
Todd Portune = idiot
Who is this guy? And who's putting him up to run for governor?
The Plain Dealer reports that he held a press conference today to announce his interest in running for governor as a Democrat. His main reason he gave for running... because his "friend" Eric Kearney was dropped from the ticket.
"But he told NEOMG he began having second thoughts when state Sen. Eric Kearney, a friend and fellow Cincinnatian, was dumped from the FitzGerald ticket. Kearney stepped aside over questions surrounding personal financial problems."
What kind of campaign platform is that? Vote for me, cause my buddy got dropped from the ticket.
It would be nice if he talk about his concerns regarding issues facing everyday Ohioans. But he can't, because it's obvious that's not why he's running.
It makes me think though, if Eric Kearney is such a good friend, and he thinks it was so wrong that he got dropped from the ticket, why doesn't Todd Portune pick him as a running mate?
...Well, it's probably because Todd Portune, is full of shit.
Todd Portune, stated at his press conference that he will travel the state in January to see if there's support for him. I'll put this as simple as possible - don't bother. There is no support for an opportunist piece of shit. Get lost.
Another Lump of Coal from Santa Kasich & his Legislative ElvesSubmitted by Anastasia Pantsios on Tue, 12/24/2013 - 1:44pm.
So, no sooner do we get the news that Ohio is first in job loss and near the bottom (46) in job creation — thanks a lot, "Jobs Governor," now officially known as the "No-Jobs Governor" — we get this honor bestowed on our beleaguered state:
"The 9 Worst States for Reproductive Rights in 2013"
And Ohio makes the list, right behind Texas and North Dakota. Yippeeeee!
While 2011 went down in history as the worst year for women's reproductive rights, 2013 has officially become the second worst, as Republican state lawmakers passed 70 new abortion restrictions into law across the United States.
How depressing and sad for this country. This is what happens when you put woman-hating right-wingers in charge. They love to flap their jaws about "freedom" and "liberty" and fling those words around copiously when naming their little Tea Party groups. But in fact, there's little they like less than freedom and liberty — when they apply equally to all, including women.
And this is even scarier:
"They aren't scraping the bottom of the barrel yet," said Elizabeth Nash, state issues manager for the Guttmacher Institute, a reproductive rights research and advocacy organization. "There are numerous restrictions that can still be enacted in states, despite the fact that so many have become law over the past three years.
And one of those states is Ohio.
Because it wasn't enough for our governor and legislature to stuff provisions limiting women's freedom inappropriately into the state budget bill at the last minute. No, they're talking about even more punitive restrictions, including ones based on flat-out lies. Apparently, there is no attack on women too extreme for these radicals.
Still Here. Just Kickin' BackSubmitted by Anastasia Pantsios on Mon, 12/23/2013 - 12:00am.
Our posting has been light here lately, as the last election cycle is over and the year winds down.
Never fear! We are not abandoning you readers (We have continued to update our Facebook page with relevant headines and story links). It's just that we've been out of town, busy, and need an occasional break. And there's no better time to do that than now, when most people's attention is not yet focused on next year's elections, and even our candidates, who have mostly been out on the road all year, are slowing down a bit.
But we'll be back in the thick of things next year for what is promising to be an interesting, hard-fought and probably close election.
Incredibly, I'm still hearing from the doomsters out there who believe Kasich has the election all locked up and we might as well give up now because Ed FitzGerald is such a shitty candidate and why can't we find a candidate with 90% name recognition and almost as high approval to swoop in and save us?
We have hard begun to fight and polls are showing either the race almost tied — some have FitzGerald in the lead while others show him eating away at Kasich's margin. And we have hardly begun to fight. People are not paying attention yet. Just wait until they are.
There's been a lot of doomy talk around Eric Kearney. The media loves crap like this. They love to write handwringing pieces about how Fitzgerald's path to election has now gotten so much steeper and ... who's Eric Kearney, most everyone you know is asking?
Right. Precisely. He came and he went. His tax problems were unfortunate and overblown by the media. But he is not going to be remembered come January — few who are not political obsessives will recall that FitzGerald's lieutenant governor pick had to step down because of the fuss surrounding his back taxes.

Last week, Equality Ohio announced that it was hiring Michael Premo as campaign manager to direct its campaign toward marriage equality. Interestingly, it's a campaign the group has said doesn't quite actually formally exist yet except as a fledgingly educational and outreach effort called "Why Marriage Matters.
According to their email,
Veteran political strategist Michael Premo, who most recently led the successful campaign to win marriage equality in New Jersey, now leads Why Marriage Matters Ohio's historic efforts to move marriage forward right here in the Buckeye State.
There's more background at Equality Ohio's website, Premo says,
I'm responsible for managing our outstanding team of to ensure that all marriages in Ohio are respected. In addition to overseeing the day-to-day operations of the campaign (making sure the lights stay on), I'm working to hone and deliver our message in the press, raise the money we need, and give our organizers all the support they need as they educate the people of Ohio of the importance of allowing all loving and committed couples the freedom to marry.
This is good news. Many have pointed to the part about raising money as a key sticking point in the campaign — a campaign that in Ohio has far pre-dated Equality Ohio's involvement.
In fact, that campaign, dubbed FreedomOhio, was launched nearly two years ago now by a couple of political consultants as a grassroots effort. Its volunteers have been on the ground since then, collecting signatures to put the repeal of Ohio's 2004 anti-marriage equality amendment on the ballot and doing exactly the sort of educational work Equality Ohio points to as essential.
This is what we've become?...Submitted by Derek K on Mon, 12/16/2013 - 4:50pm.
There is an outdoor, open air shopping center in a suburb of Cleveland called Crocker Park. It's a cheesy place to shop. It's designed to, I guess, give a feeling of shopping in a downtown city area. Its pho architecture could only give the shallowest minded of people an idea that they were anywhere near a community space. Well, for some reason these creators of corporate controlled space have found that people actually want to live in their fake-scape. They are going to build apartments for people to live in their mall.
The owners of Crocker Park have spared no expense in their fakeness stating they will build new fake warehouses to emulate old real warehouses. They're going to make trendy loft apartments for their small minded cheesy clientele. According to the Plain Dealer...
"One of the buildings is designed to evoke the feeling of lofts in a converted warehouse with a water tower on the roof and a floor-to-ceiling glass clock face at one end of the top floor that will be the focal point of someone's apartment."
Right. Or people could just live downtown in a real loft apartment, with a real water tower, living by real people, surrounded by real old buildings and a real cityscape.
This is what we've become...
GOP claims racism ended with Rosa Parks' bold standSubmitted by Derek K on Sun, 12/01/2013 - 5:37pm.
So apparently the GOP tweeted out that racism ended when Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white person on a bus.

Ed FitzGerald Doomed! Marcia Fudge Won't Support Him!Submitted by Anastasia Pantsios on Thu, 11/28/2013 - 11:24pm.
Well, that's what the doomsters keep telling me. They keep saying the black community won't get behind him, it's a sign of disaster for his campaign that Marcia Fudge hasn't endorsed him yet etc etc.
Hey, what's this in my email box? Hmmmm....
CLEVELAND – Tomorrow morning, Congresswoman Marcia Fudge will join Cuyahoga County Executive and Democratic candidate for Governor Ed FitzGerald for a special campaign announcement in Cleveland. Congresswoman Fudge, who has served the greater Cleveland area in Congress since 2008, is the chair of the Congressional Black Caucus. Details of the event are as follows:
Congresswoman Marcia Fudge
Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald
Special Campaign Announcement

Cleveland, OH 44110
TOMORROW, November 29th 10:00 AM EST
Maybe she's just announcing she's going to loan him some staplers and paper clips from her office. I guess we'll see.
I think one of the things the doomsters aren't getting is just how damned early it is in this campaign. In 2006, we did not come close to having a candidate yet. People take their time and do things in their own way.
And with 33% of the state ticket African-American, there's plenty for that community to get excited about.
Polls differ on who's leading and by how much. But taken together, the bottom line of all the polls is that the governor's race next year is going to be close and hard fought, and nobody — NOBODY — is a "shoo-in" right now. Ed's got just as good a chance of being our next governor as Kasich does of retaining his job. (oh and speaking of jobs, Kasich ... yeah, I know,never mind)
It depends on you and me. So go to his website — donate, volunteer.
Ed FitzGerald & Eric Kearney in ClevelandSubmitted by Anastasia Pantsios on Fri, 11/22/2013 - 11:53pm.
Ed FitzGerald just wrapped up a two-day barnstorming tour of the major Ohio markets, introducing his newly named running mater, state senator Eric Kearney.
They stopped in Cleveland at Laborers' Hall this afternoon where they were greeted enthusiastically by local Democratic activists. Kearney said he got a warmer welcome than he got in Cincinnati, although he was probably joking.
Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur, who was in town for an early morning arts forum at the Beck Center in Lakewood and a late morning ceremony honoring John F. Kennedy at the Irish Cultural Garden in Rockefeller Park, stopped by and introduced Ed who introduced his running mate.
Secretary of state candidate Nina Turner was there, and of course, there's no way you want to leave her in the audience — they called her up to join them on stage.
Here's Ed chatting with activist Wynne Antonio:
Here's the crowd:
Ed FitzGerald Chooses KearneySubmitted by Anastasia Pantsios on Wed, 11/20/2013 - 11:34pm.
Ed FitzGerald's campaign sent out an email yesterday about another "big announcement" today in Cincinnati.
But this one turned out not to be an endorsement, but a really early announcement of his running mate. He tapped state senator Eric Kearney from the Cincinnati area.
By comparison, Ted Strickland announced both his running mates, Lee Fisher in 2006 and Yvette McGee Brown in 2010, in January. (Kasich picked Mary Taylor in January too).
That's in keeping with the Democrats' getting a running head start on next year's campaign; the entire ticket was solidified after John Patrick Carney officially announced his run for state auditor after Labor Day (although it was common knowledge a couple of months prior that he was going for it).
It's an interesting choice, one that seems to be drawing a lot of praise. It means the ticket has two African-Americans out of six candidates. It also includes two women. That's as diverse as an Ohio statewide ticket has ever been. By contrast, the entire GOP ticket — the incumbents — is white men, except for Taylor, and who knows where she is these days. They've pretty much disappeared her. They'll probably trot her out for the campaign.
Also interesting is the geography of the ticket — a radical shift from 2010. That year, five of the six candidates were from Columbus. One — David Pepper, then running for auditor — was from Cincinnati. None was from northeast Ohio, although the U.S. Senate candidate, Lee Fisher, was. And he underperformed most of the ticket in his own home county.
The "abortion is murder" lie & the hypocrisy of some state legislatorsSubmitted by Anastasia Pantsios on Thu, 11/14/2013 - 3:49pm.
I landed in the middle of a thread online about (of all things) boycotting Austin music conference SXSW because of Texas' backward, rightwing policies. It ended with one of a couple of ranting rightwingers proclaiming dogmatically "Abortion is murder!"
Now, from NARAL Pro-Choice ohio, we get this release about an Ohio state legislator who undoubtedly would claim he believes "abortion is murder" because what other possible reason could there be for this other than sheer depraved meanness:
Yesterday, State Representative John Becker (R-Union Twp.) introduced legislation that would ban both public and private health insurance policies (including Medicaid) from covering abortion care and many of the most commonly used forms of contraception. Health insurance plans would only be permitted to cover abortion care in the cases ectopic pregnancies. Insurance coverage for abortion care in the case of rape or incest, fetal anomalies or to protect a woman's health or life would be illegal.
This legislator wants government to put restrictions on what PRIVATE insurance can cover, no matter what the demand for the service. What could his justification be for such big-government intrusion into private decisions? Well, it would have to be that "abortion is murder," otherwise why would a "small government" Republican want to do this?
On top of this, he wants an exception ONLY for ectopic pregnancies — far from the only situation in which a pregnant woman's life could be in danger.
At least brutally punishing women who have been raped, or are suffering health crisis or might give birth to a severely deformed fetus that has no chance at life is somewhat consistent with this ultra-extreme belief.
Josh "The Empty Suit" Mandel Still Looking VulnerableSubmitted by Anastasia Pantsios on Thu, 11/14/2013 - 1:13am.
*Our next state treasurer Connie Pillich (left) with Ohio Democratic activist/fundraiser Lana Moresky*
Well. Well. Well. Someone isn't excited about our state treasurer, Josh "The Empty Suit" Mandel. A lot of someones actually.
You know that PPP polling I wrote about in my last post?
They also polled the treasurers race. And Connie Pillich continues to lead Mandel.
Pillich leads Mandel by four points, 47-43. She earns more of the GOP vote, at 18%, than Mandel does of Democrats (12%), part of the reason she holds her party together (85%) considerably more than Mandel does his (72%). Pillich has a 12-point lead with women (50-38), helping to counteract Mandel's slight lead with men (48-45).
While the numbers are close and there are obviously still a lot of undecideds, I don't think I'd like to be in Mandel's position. It seems like in all the previous polls we've seen, including last year's Senate race, that the more name recognition Mandel gains, the more people disapprove of him. To know him is to not like him.
If I were Mandel (and thank goodness I'm not), I wouldn't be too comforted by having Connie as my opponent. She's more dynamic, more energetic, a much better speaker, has clearer and more appealing positions on issues, and she has more military experience and a higher rank.
That means he's got to find something to build his campaign around other than "I was a Marine." Based on his record, you know what that's going to be: his old reliables — smear and lies.

I watch the song pothigai malai utchiyele from thiruvilayal movie. Her acting of that song is too nice and she looks like a angel.
Devika will be remembered for her talent in many movies. One such great movi is "Daksha Yagnam" where she played the role of UMA (Sati) wonderfully.
I thought I was very fond of Devika's acting. I am happy to note there are more like me. Devika is the only actress whose face was shown in close-up by all the photographers. She was the most beautiful faced actress in Indian Cinema. If you see the movie "Neelavanam", you will cry for her in each and every frame
It is good to see so many like minded persons. Devika was the only actress who was the delight of the photographers of Indian Cinema. They love to show her very close up. She was so natural in acting. You can control yourself from crying if you see the movie "Neelavanam" and "Nenjil Ore Aalayam"
Devika in "Karnan' is superb. She looks like a folwer in Mirror

Looking down the road at the competitive and market implications of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), most healthcare executives expect that the law will drive consolidation among healthcare providers. This won't be the first time in the healthcare industry's history that internal or external events have led smaller organizations to seek refuge by merging with a larger organization, or that larger organizations have seized an opportunity to improve their competitive profile. We have witnessed consolidation waves in each of the past three decades. This time, the factors driving consolidation are different, and the criteria for selecting a good partner have continued to evolve. Let's take a look at how population health management and accountable care organizations (ACOs) have added a new twist to partner selection criteria.
Size. Over the past 20 years, the overtly stated advantage of size generally focused on achieving cost efficiencies and economies of scale. Improved negotiating leverage with payers represented a close second, even if it needed to be more subtly pursued. In today's environment, the advantages of size also depend on critical mass for risk-based contracting. In this case, value is created through stronger actuarial leverage, while the traditional advantages of cost efficiencies and negotiating leverage remain.
Geographic access and coverage. The definitions of a population catchment area have broadened to include the employer perspective. Comparing a health system's geographic market coverage against the geographic workforce distribution of large employers in the market has become increasingly important. Providing appropriate geographic coverage will enable health systems to pursue narrow network and direct contracting strategies that will appeal to employers. Patient convenience remains important. The traditional geographic filters of distance to provider access points and alignment with school commutes and shopping patterns will make health systems more attractive to individuals purchasing health insurance through exchanges.
Clinical coverage. Under fee-for-service, developing a large referral base to feed higher-end tertiary services continues to be important, as it has been traditionally. Physician acquisitions in the 1990s were intended to secure and potentially expand the referral base and protect it from being redirected by payers or other providers. Today, adding primary care physicians through purchases of physician practices or acquisitions of niche health systems expands the acquirer's bandwidth for population health and wellness care. The aim is to secure covered lives while managing access to tertiary care.
Access to capital. The reasons for accessing capital are changing. Instead of securing the ability to finance new building projects (still an important consideration if an old facility is in involved), access to capital has evolved to include access to clinical IT. Beyond affordable electronic health records, which have become essential, forward-looking providers are focused on securing access to population health data and reporting platforms, which require scale to satisfy the cost-benefit equation.
Population health capabilities. Along with the above considerations, understanding a partner's population health strategy, competencies, and infrastructure is essential for planning for the future. Although population health capabilities may be involved in provider-to-provider mergers, accessing these capabilities often will require relationships with successful health plans (either payer or provider-owned plans). Criteria for these health system-payer partnerships involve typical strategic, operational, and cultural alignment, for which the specifics cannot be addressed in a single blog post.
As the paradigm shifts from fee-for-service to population health and accountable care, the nuances of what defines competitive advantage will continue to evolve. It is important to apply these nuances when selecting strategic partners and executing integration strategies.

The hotel was a little bit hard to find, down a non-descript road, but it was right off the highway, which was great. We were in town for a wedding at Antrim 1884 and this was the perfect place to stay for within our price range. I would definitely stay here again (but maybe ask to be put in an end room to mitigate the noise we might have to deal with). The staff was very friendly and attentive! ...
