Santiago bill seeks terminally ill person's right to die
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines—Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago has filed a bill that will allow a patient with a terminal condition or "permanent unconscious condition" to refuse medical treatment and allow the "natural process of dying."
Senate Bill 1887 also known as the "Natural Death Act" filed by Santiago provides that any person of legal age and sound mind may execute a written instruction, "directing the witholding or withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment in a terminal condition or permanent unconscious condition."
The directive should be signed by the patient in the presence of two witnesses.
But the witnesses, the bill said, should not be related to the declarer, should not be entitled to any portion of the estate of the declarer upon his or her demise, and should not be the attending physician of the declarer or an employee of the physician or a hospital in which the declarer is a patient.
In the "health care directive," the patient may "wilfully" and "voluntarily make known" his desire that his dying should not be "artificially prolonged" if he was diagnosed for example to be in a terminal condition by the attending physician or in a permanent unconscious condition.
"If at anytime I should be diagnosed in writing to be in a terminal condition by the attending physician or in a permanent unconscious condition by two physicians, and the where the application of life-sustaining treatment would serve only to artificially prolong the process of my dying, I direct that such treatment be withheld or withdrawn, and that I be permitted to die naturally…" said the proposed directive.
The directive may also state that in the absence of the patient's ability to give directions regarding the use of such life-sustaining treatment, "It is my intention that this directive shall be honored by my family and physician (s) as the final expression of my legal right to refuse medical or surgical treatment and I accept the consequences of such refusal."
The directive, under the bill, should be notarized and should be made part of the patient's medical records.
"If a qualified patient capable of making health care decision indicates his or her desire to die at home, the patient shall be discharged as soon as reasonably possible," it also said.
Section 10 of the proposed measure though clarified that "Nothing in this Act shall be construed to condone, authorize, or approve mercy killing or physician-assisted suicide or to permit any affirmative or deliberate act or omission to end life other than to permit the natural process of dying."
The bill also exempts any physician or health care provider from any legal liability.
"Any physician or health care provider acting under the direction of a physician or health facility and its personnel, who participate in good faith in the withholding or withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment from a qualified patient in accordance with the requirements of this chapter, shall be immune from legal liability, including civil, criminal or professional conduct sanctions unless otherwise negligent," the bill said.
In filing the bill, Santiago acknowledged the fundamental right of adult persons to decide their own health care, including the decision to have life-sustaining treatment withheld or withdrawn in instances of a terminal condition or permanent unconscious decision.
"Modern medical technology has made possible the artificial prolongation of human life beyond natural limits. Such prolongation of the process of dying for persons with a terminal condition or permanent unconscious condition may cause loss of patient dignity, and unnecessary pain and suffering, while providing nothing medically necessary or beneficial to the patient," she said in her explanatory note of the bill.
"In the interest of protecting individual autonomy, and in recognition of the dignity and privacy which patients have a right to expect, our laws should recognize the right of an adult person to make a written directive instructing such person's physician to withhold or withdraw life-sustaining treatment in the event of a terminal condition or permanent unconscious condition," Santiago added.

Not COMPLETLEY real wood
Hayley from Washington – Verified Buyer
We were a little disappointed in the fact that the description says it's made from realy wood. This led us to believe that the entire cabinet was made of real wood when in actuality it's just the front of the cabinet that is real wood. The rest of the cabinet is veneer or that composite wood. That was a little disappointing. We do like the overall look of the cabinet. Assembly was very easy. Just be aware that the description is a little deceiving.
Perfect for my needs
Pamela from Midlothian, VA – Verified Buyer
I poured over sites for months, looking for the "just right" sized cabinet to fit under my wall-mounted tv. This fit and I was not at all dissatisfied with this piece. I spent a good while putting it together, but furniture assembly is not my strong suit and I wanted to get it done right and sturdy. Easy to put together. Happy with the purchase. Picture is accurate to color and look of it once assembled.
Bryan from Clifton, VA – Verified Buyer
Very happy with my new stand, perfectly fits my receiever and various other components of my entertainment system. It also looks nice with 2 tower speakers on either side centered under a wall mounted TV. Only negative (which is why 45) is the front cabinet door doesn't sit flush with the front of the cabinet perfectly. I installed a small rubber stopper so it stops in line with shelving. But for the price its a minor inconvenience. Very happy with purchase overall
Looks great, assembly was easy!
April from Wilmington, DE – Verified Buyer
Great shelf! Assembled in less than an hour, no issues at all. Did drop one side against a corner wall, and that scratched it - so BE CAREFUL with all the pieces as you go about it. And pay attention as you attach the glass door, so it will open the right way when you have it wherever you're putting it.
Martha from Redwood City, CA – Verified Buyer
I needed a cabinet to store my stereo and turntable. This matched my furniture perfectly and was really easy to put together. My husband and I assembled it in less than an hour. The only shelves adjustable in height is one inside the door at the bottom and one in the center on the top. It worked for us but may not for everyone.
Looks great!
Tiffany from Riverton, NJ – Verified Buyer
Would've given it 5 stars if the shelving had more options for height placement. The middle shelf cannot be moved because of the required placement of the door, which I understand... however the very bottom and very top shelves only have 3 height options- not allowing much variety for the types of things you may want to put in the cabinet. Either way, it's still a nice piece of furniture.
good product
Scott from Greenlawn, NY – Verified Buyer
i read the reviews before buying this piece, and the only negative thing that I read was that it was not all 100 wood. Well, after getting it, it's exactly what I thought it would be, and would recommend it. The only part that's not wood is the back, which you can't even see anyway because it's backed up against a wall.
Quality Cabinet!
Paul from Eagan, MN – Verified Buyer
This was our first Wayfair order, so we weren't sure what to expect. I was actually very impressed with the quality of the cabinet and the incredibly fast shipping! The wood is solid and beautifully colored. The only pain was putting in the one of the horizontal shelves (the very bottom one, I think). The twisty connectors did not want to screw over the screw heads all the way. Seemed like an alignment issue with the predrilled holes. Not a big deal though. It's very secure.
Perfect height, excellent quality media center
Crystin from Diamond Bar, CA – Verified Buyer
Delivery was fast, packaging was adequate, and assembly was easy. I didn't like the back part because the slots do not align with the shelves properly, I had a difficult time connecting the wires and cables. I probably should not have screwed the back until I connected all the wires.
Well Made Cabinet
Richard from Seminole, FL – Verified Buyer
The Veneto Audio Cabinet we ordered was shipped promptly and was just what we needed for our stereo equipment. The cabinet is a solid piece of furniture that was only moderately difficult to put together. The item is well made and would be at home in the living or family room. We would definitely recommend this cabinet.
OUR SKU # TC0229Veneto Audio Cabinet is also sometimes listed under the following manufacturer numbers: TXI5135, TXI5135C, XIIXT5135, XIIXT5135C

Human papillomavirus (HPV) types cause approximately 70% of cervical cancer worldwide. Two vaccines have been recently evaluated in randomized controlled trials: the bivalent vaccine for HPV 16 and 18 (Cervarix, GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals, Rixensart, Belgium) and the quadrivalent vaccine for HPV 6, 11, 16, and 18 (Gardasil, Merck and Co, Inc, Whitehouse Station, NJ). We have performed a systematic review of all randomized controlled trials in which vaccines against HPV were compared with placebo regarding efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity. Six studies met the inclusion criteria, which included 47,236 women. The first objective in this systematic review was to assess vaccine efficacy in the prevention of cytologically and/or histologically proven lesions. And the secondary objective was the evaluation of safety and vaccine immunogenicity. Bivalent and quadrivalent HPV vaccines significantly reduced the rate of lesions in the cervix, vulva, vagina, and anogenital region, with efficacy of 93% (95% confidence interval [CI], 87-96) and 62% (95% CI, 27-70), respectively, when compared with the control groups according to intention to treat. Regarding safety, we found more symptoms in the bivalent vaccine group (35%; 95% CI, 5-73) when compared with the control groups. In regard to vaccine immunogenicity, there was seroconversion in the group that received the vaccine when compared with the placebo group in the bivalent and quadrivalent vaccines. Prophylactic vaccination can prevent HPV infection in women aged 9 to 26 years not previously infected with the HPV subtypes covered by the vaccines. To evaluate cervical cancer incidence and mortality, a longer follow-up is necessary.

A day after he was dropped from the squad for the first two Tests, Rohit Sharma responds with an audacious century against Ricky Ponting and Co; Virat Kohli, too, slams 105, Badrinath and Yuvraj fail
MUMBAI: If the national selectors were apprehensive about the ability of younger players taking on the No.1 Test team in the world, then Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli went a fair distance to remove any doubts. A day after he was dropped from the Test side, Sharma made 105 against the touring Australians. Sharma was part of the Test side that lost the series in Sri Lanka, but he didn't get a game.
It was a knock that questioned the logic of picking the team for the first two Tests even before the first ball of the tour game was played.
Though one good knock cannot be the yardstick to judge a player, current form suggests that Sharma is the man in form with just a week to go before the first Test in Bangalore.
Moreover, both Sharma and Kohli exposed the lack of depth in the Australian spin attack. However, Subramanium Badrinath, who is part of the 15-man squad for the first two Tests, just managed two runs after facing 21 balls.
Sharma hit off-spinner Jason Kreja to the deep mid-wicket boundary to move from 92 to 98. He had given Kreja the similar treatment to enter the 90s. He brought up his hundred shortly when he drove Michael Clarke through mid-off to the boundary.
Krejza, the off-spinner went for 6.15 runs per over and did not look like taking a wicket, while Michael Clarke, who is at best a handy spinner, failed to make an impression.
However, the dismissal of Wasim Jaffer, Yuvraj Singh, S Badrinath and Aakash Chopra to the Australian quicks made it clear that Ricky Ponting will reply heavily on his pacemen to deliver the blows in the four-Test series.
In all, Sharma hit 12 boundaries and two sixes. Kohli hit 14 boundaries and a six. Kohli was unfortunate to be given leg-before-wicket to a reverse swinging ball from Brett Lee that seemed to be going down the leg-side.
The Board President's XI finished Day One at 371 for six wickets
Losing three quick wickets in the morning session put the President's XI in a spot of bother but Rohit forged a 61-run stand with his skipper Yuvraj Singh (29) to stem the rot.
Parthiv Patel (49 batting) also made hay, while Irfan Pathan was batting at 17 when stumps were drawn. The visitors were sans all-rounder Shane Watson, who had been laid low by viral fever.
Onus was on Chopra and Jaffer (19) to vindicate Yuvraj's decision to bat first on a strip that promised a run-feast and they did not start badly. Occasional discomforts notwithstanding, they went on to put together 41 runs before Stuart Clarke removed Jaffer.
Mitchell Johnson then trapped Chopra and 10 runs later, Badrinath fell to Peter Siddle, leaving the side reeling at 59 for three.

Texas Instruments unveils industry's first 12-bit, 1-GSPS ADC with buffered input, simplifying analog front-end design in wide-bandwidth applications
DALLAS, Oct. 26 /PRNewswire/ — Texas Instruments introduced today an analog-to-digital-converter (ADC) that combines 12 bits of resolution with a 1-GSPS sampling rate, effectively doubling the amount of signal bandwidth that can be captured in a single ADC. The ADS5400 offers an unmatched signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 59 dBFS and 75 dBc spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) in first Nyquist, and 58 dBFS SNR and 70 dBc SFDR performance for intermediate frequencies (IFs) beyond 1000 MHz. A fully buffered analog input isolates the onboard sample and hold's internal switching to prevent disturbing the signal source, while providing a high-impedance input. The ADS5400′s performance enables designers to create smaller, higher-performance and higher-density wide-bandwidth receivers and digitizers. For product details see www.ti.com/ads5400-pr
"The ADS5400 has enabled our latest modular component, the QuiXilica Atlas-V5 VXS board, to handle 12 GB/s of data and generate a real-time result," comments Andrew Reddig, Tekmicro's president and chief technology officer. "Our launch customers are using the Atlas to create higher performance solutions for critical applications that were unachievable with previous A/D technology."
"Customers can use the ADS5400′s ground-breaking combination of resolution, sample rate and bandwidth to significantly enhance applications in defense by improving radar and signal intelligence (SIGINT) capabilities, and can double the capture bandwidth of signals with 12-bit resolution in test and measurement," said Art George, senior vice president of TI's High-Performance Analog business unit.
Developed on TI's high-speed, proprietary BiCom3( )complementary bipolar SiGe technology, the monolithic ADS5400 is specified over the full industrial temperature range (-40 degrees C to 85 degrees C). The BiCom3 technology's silicon-on-insulator (SOI) process makes it well suited for high-temperature and high-radiation environments.
Key features and benefits
- Fully buffered, 12-bit, 1-GSPS ADC with 2.1 GHz input bandwidth, for wideband signals in oversampling and undersampling applications with 200 MHz or greater signal bandwidth
- Buffered analog input provides constant input impedance across time and frequency and eliminates sample-and-hold kickback, simplifying input matching for passive and active analog front end
- The ADS5400′s adjustable fine gain, offset and phase ease the interleaving of two or more ADCs to create a multi-GSPS digitizer, or the balancing of two ADCs in an I/Q receiver
- Thermally-enhanced, 100-pin TQFP (16 mm x 16 mm footprint) package with exposed thermal pad
- User-selectable single- or dual-bus DDR LVDS outputs provide designers flexibility to choose between I/O speed and pin-count
- Customers can speed time-to-market with compatible TI devices: THS9000 and THS9001 amplifiers to support input frequencies up to 500 MHz; the CDCE72010 high-performance, low phase noise, and low skew clock; the DAC5682Z dual, 16-bit, 1 GSPS DAC; the TPS727xx and TPS717xx low dropout regulators; and the TMS320C6474 and TMS320C6457 DSPs.
Availability and pricing
The ADS5400 is available now in a 100-pin TQFP package and is priced at $775 in 100-unit quantities. An EVM is available for $1299 and is compatible to TI's TSW1200EVM digital capture card, offering a flexible evaluation environment for ADC analysis.

With many of these wipes and pads, I find extra moisture is needed. I augment their moisture with a tear stain remover liquid.
The most important thing is to wipe away the tear stains regularly. If you let too much time elapse, the task becomes more difficult and more stressful for your pet.
Pros: Handy
Cons: Only somewhat effective

Jen and John Knock Down Some Pins Pre-Oscars
Like us on Facebook
Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer laughed their way out of Lucky Strike bowling last night after spending a few hours testing out their luck with the lanes. John updated his twitter throughout, joking around about betting $100,000 per frame and today checking back in to say how terrible his skills were last night. Tonight the couple might want to call it an early one with all the Oscar excitement. As much as John already implied it to us by saying that he is going, Jennifer finally confirmed she'll be there to present an award with Jack Black. We can't wait to see them at the show — check back all day, as we'll be updating live from the Oscars!

LOL @ aka Daria. You got the tone of the Angelina fans down to a T. :D Maybe she was wearing a dress because she went to a party before she went bowling? Someone else mentioned she was at a pre-Oscar party before this so that was why she looked a little too formal. I think she looks very happy, and that's great. At least those who dislike her won't say she's so lonely and still moping over Brad.

OMG CHINNIFER MANISTON IS WEARING ALL BLACK!! SHES SOOOO TRYING TO BE ANGELINA!!! OMFG!! CAN SHE BE MORE OBVIOUS?!?!?1!!!!111eventeen funny, how the same people who bitch about the posters who have something negative to say from the AJ posts, are the same one's posting negative shit here...but I guess it's ok since Jen is a childless hag right? No woman's life is complete unless she's popped out a few babies...I'll try to remember that.

Actually it's satire, not irony. Some people intentionally note the color on one, because of the constant harping about black on the other.
eveday 6 years
I can't be the ony one that sees the irony in this thread - Jen accused of always wearing black by the same people who defend Angie for always wearing the exact same colour! Jengal -- no, you're not the only one. That's why I hadn't said anything before. I love black and I love seeing Jolie wearing black so I couldn't possibly criticize anyone else for wearing the same color.

Wow, she should write Angie a check. If it weren't for Angelina there would only be about five comments on her threads. And not a single one regarding her *contribution* to the entertainment business. That's really pitiful.

To sarahdeg, you seem to be stupid. That was my answer to all of you who said she needs to stop wearing black. If women in Hollywood are wearing black then what are you complaining about? She has heard your complaint and still chose to wear it for a reason-I say it's because she has low self esteem and I stand by that. "she pose naked a couple of months ago" Did you forget sarahdeg that she said she was drunk and didn't mean to. That does not sound confident. Sarahdeg you are either stupid - spiteful or both. One other thing I'm not a Angelina fan. What does that make all of you who think ever person that don't kiss Jen's a-- is a Angelina fan. Something is seriously wrong you. You have been on the war path to long that you snap at a kitten if it cross your path.

I don't like Angie and because of that, I'm not likely to approve, apopreciate or worship her...

well said Idalia! sme people like to make stupid comments JEN doesn't pretend cuz she is not fake like jolie!Jen has said that she is happy many times!! but even without a man she won't be unhappy cuz she is independent if she was desperate she could get involved with a married man!not john mayar the one who is desperate is AJ

I think it's the best acting she's ever done. *impersonating a woman who barely acknowledges her existence* (I'll fill you in later ;) )

How can people know that Jen actually reads what is said about her? John, probably, yes but Jen said that she doesn't care about reading those things. Can you possibly imagine if she does? I mean she wouldn't be able to live her life. And btw a woman that wears tiny bikinis at 40 and poses almost nacked for a photoshoot seems pretty confident to me.
Jatra 6 years
Have it ever occured to you who make the "she should wear other colors beside black" that she have read what you said and she don't care and she is going to wear black any way. She and Mayer are constantly reading what people are saying about them online then they stage the next act. When you wear black all the time you are not that confident in your looks. Jen has low self esteem that's why she is with John Mayer-even after he dumped her by text and let the whole world know about it. I believe Jen made sure her people got him back. Another thing, who goes bowling dressed like that. This was another stunt. Every thing they do seem so fake. Even when she supposedly look so happy. You are in front of the camera for a few seconds it does not take a lot to put on the biggest happy face then drop it when you get in a building or car and drive away. It's sad you guys have to have her hooked with a man so bad that you really don't care what man it is. That's desperation. She should be happy rather she with a guy or not. I can see why she would have had to stage a relationship because you fans would not be happy if she was not latched to a man.

Solitaire They are the last 2 people you are interested in seeing at the Oscars, but you sure are interested enough to g out of your way to leave a comment about them :ponder: For those of you complaining about her color clothing...really, get over yourselves. She will NEVER be able to do right by some of you. It's Febuary and almost everyone is wearing winter colors. I think she's cute as a button..very toned and very happy. How anyone could find a reason to piss on that is beyond me and seems like a personal problem. @LOVEANGELINA You comment on every post how IRRITATED you are that Jen is presenting..JESUS, GET OVER IT! She's not half as irriating as you constantly posting negative remarks about her are.

No. 7 Connecticut Huskies vs. No. 1 Florida Huskies
Date/Time: April 5, 2014, 6:09 p.m. EST
College Basketball Betting Odds from Bookmaker
The Final Four is finally here and the best teams in college basketball remain. Many knew that the No. 1 ranked Florida Gators would make it this far in the tournament, but not many believed that their opponent this Saturday would make the cut. The Connecticut Huskies busted brackets with their improbable run with impressive victories all along the way. The most impressive win to date would be the win over the Michigan State Spartans, but that will change if they can eliminate the Gators this Saturday.
Game Overview:
The latest 2014 NCAA Tournament college basketball odds for this game opened up with the Gators listed as (-6) point favorites. This number will seem low considering how well that the Gators have played of late, and the public agrees as 52 percent of the early wagering is on the Huskies.
The Huskies have manufactured a very impressive turnaround this season. The Huskies were maybe the only people in the country who believed in themselves this year. They spent last year banned from the postseason due to bad APR scores, a sting so painful that many of the players did not even watch the tournament a season ago. The Huskies beat Michigan State, 60-54, to advance out of the East Region to the Final Four — where they will go for their second national championship in four years. It is the program's fifth Final Four appearance in 15 years. They are a powerhouse in college basketball.
The latest 2014 NCAA Tournament college basketball betting trends for this game reveal that both teams have positive wagering angles in this game. The Huskies are 4-0 against the spread (ATS) in their last 4 games when they are playing against a team with a winning percentage above .600, 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games when they go up against a team with a winning straight up record and 25-10 ATS in their last 35 neutral site games. The Gators are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up win, 20-9 ATS in their last 29 NCAA Tournament games and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games overall.
The Huskies run may have taken everyone by surprise, but it shouldn't. They have one of the best players in college basketball and they can shoot free throws. In a close game, the Huskies have the potential to win it and they are a very impressive 13-3 ATS in their last 16 NCAA Tournament games. The Huskies will not win, but it will be very close and that makes the points attractive in this Final Four game.
Free Pick: Connecticut Huskies +6

Kevin Garnett reaches 25,000 points in the NBA
|02.07.13 at 8:59 pm ET
With a patented turnaround jumper over Earl Clark with 8:08 left in the second quarter of the Celtics' game against the Lakers, Kevin Garnett became the 16th player in NBA history to reach 25,000 points. Garnett becomes the only player in NBA history with 25,000 points, 10,000 rebounds, 5,000 assists, 1,500 blocks, and 1,500 steals.
During a timeout several minutes later, the Celtics honored him with a tribute on the TD Garden video board. The crowd gave him a standing ovation and Paul Pierce led the cheers in the Celtics huddle. As the Celtics came out of the timeout, Garnett tipped his hand to the crowd in appreciation.
Garnett scored a season-high 27 on Wednesday night in Toronto, making it a near-certainty KG would reach the mark on national TV against the Lakers, needing just six points to reach the 25,000-point plateau.
It's the second time in three seasons a Celtics player has achieved an NBA milestone against the Lakers. In Feb. 2011, Ray Allen became the NBA's all-time leading 3-point shooter, passing Reggie Miller in a Thursday game against the Lakers.

Nobody can resist a mystery, and there is no better way to get all of your guests interacting with one another than by giving them a fun goal to accomplish together. Murder mystery party supplies help you accomplish this by creating the perfect environment to play a game of whodunit. If solving a mystery doesn't sound like the kind of party you want to throw, you can still use the murder mystery theme to let guests dress up as detectives and villains. Turn your home into a creepy mansion for the evening with the Mansion Arch or put up cobblestone flat paper for the look of a deserted alley, and guests will feel as though danger lurks in the night.
The colonel with the chalice in the conservatory, or the professor in the cellar with the rope. If these phrases mean anything to you, it is likely because you've played Clue, one of the world's oldest and most popular board games. Now you can bring that game to life at your next party with murder mystery decorations from Stumps. The Clue Game Night Kit includes a Clue sign, several standees, a set of Clue Board Space Cutouts, as well as several black columns and an arch – everything you need so guests can act out their roles and play the game in real life.

Diarra commits to UConn
UConn secured a verbal commitment from Mamadou Diarra, a 6-foot-8 forward, on Friday morning.
Buford (Ga.) High School coach Allen Whitehart took time out of his relaxing Sunday afternoon to talk about Rakim Lubin.
Lubin, a 6-foot-8, 245-pound forward, gave UConn a verbal commitment on Saturday during his official visit to Storrs.
"It's a great fit," Whitehart said. "I think he can do very well there."
Here's a rundown on Lubin:
-- Whitehart's scouting report: "He's pretty agile. He runs well. He's a good athlete. He defends well in open space. He's so strong. He's physically college ready now.
"…Strangely enough, he's got a pretty good face-up game. If you get him on the block, you're going to foul him or he's going to score. He finishes extremely well."
He added the Lubin is very soft-spoken and humble.
-- Lubin spent the first three years of his high school career at Gadsden City in Alabama before transferring to Buford, which is located on the north side of Atlanta. He has family living in the Atlanta area.
-- Whitehart added that Lubin had never lifted weights before coming to Buford. He's added about 12 pounds of muscle since changing schools.
-- Recruiting interest in Lubin declined over the summer because he injured his back and missed most of the July summer basketball circuit.
"He had a down summer," Whitehart said. "He hurt his back early in the summer and he had been pretty sought after until he got hurt."
-- Memphis, Marquette and Auburn were some of the schools recruiting Lubin.
-- Lubin told Whitehart that he liked the UConn coaching staff's attention to detail with athletics and academics. His mother, Sabrina, also went on the trip.
"They will monitor him and help him achieve his goals," Whitehart said.
-- Whitehart is very familiar with the UConn basketball program. About four years ago, he traveled to Storrs along with one of players, Lorenzo Brown, to attend Jim Calhoun's Elite basketball camp. Brown wound up at North Carolina State.
"I was very impressed," Whitehart said.
The Buford coach heard Kevin Ollie speak at the camp. He also knows Jeremy Lamb.
"I told Lorenzo that he'll be the head coach one day," Whitehart said of Ollie. "(I told him) just listen to how passionate he is about the university and how he talks about intangibles and character and the way things should be done."
-- UConn first-year assistant coach Ricky Moore recruited Lubin. A native of Augusta,Ga., he's working in familiar territory.
UConn secured a verbal commitment from Mamadou Diarra, a 6-foot-8 forward, on Friday morning.
For the second straight spring, UConn coach Kevin Ollie is the subject of NBA coaching rumors.
Ryan Boatright shot his way into the 3-point championship final on Thursday night at Butler University's Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
UConn's frontcourt depth took a hit with the news that forward Rakim Lubin plans to transfer after just one season in Storrs.
UConn is limping into its NIT opener against Arizona State tomorrow night in Storrs.
Prior to its impressive American Athletic Conference Championship tournament run, UConn looked more like an NIT than NCAA post-season team.
UConn associate head coach Glen Miller didn't plan on getting much sleep on Saturday night.
Today's American Athletic Conference Championship semifinal doubleheader is underway here at the XL Center in Hartford. A crowd in the 12,000-13,000 range is expected for the UConn-Tulsa game. Tip-off time is 5 p.m.
UConn did what it was supposed to do on Thursday night.
Two of the American Athletic Conference's biggest rivals will battle tonight in tournament quarterfinal action at the XL Center in Hartford.

Tuesday night's Chicago Cubs-New York Mets game featured a thrilling ending — Nate Schierholtz's walk-off single gave the Cubs a 2-1 win — but was rather boring throughout the middle innings.
Neither side plated a run from the top of the first until the bottom of the eighth, and as the game neared its halfway point, the operator of Wrigley Field's manual outfield scoreboard had seen enough.
For his sake, we hope this guy woke up in time to catch the end of the game, as his club hasn't played a whole lot of exciting baseball over the last week. Each of the last six Cubs games preceding Tuesday's matchup had been decided by four runs or more, with Chicago being shut out three times during that stretch.

Posted by Roz Morris @Roz_Morris in Undercover Soundtrack on November 28, 2012
My guest this week had never realised his fiction was so closely tied to music, nor how much that meant it reflected the landmarks of his own life. Through significant songs he has peeled back the years to channel aspects of his family and upbringing, to flesh out the characters in his short stories and novels. He is McStorytellers founder Brendan Gisby and he's on the Red Blog sharing his Undercover Soundtrack

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Series
Great movie liked the actors and the story line. Liked the whole series and this fits right in. Can't wait until the next 1 comes out
Published on Jan. 5 2013 by Peter Nadeau
3.0 out of 5 stars It was ok.
It was an ok movie. Not the greatest of them all. A little confusing with the Professors character, but it told the story of the x-men when they were younger.

5.0 out of 5 stars dvd,
Very dvd and excellent movie I didn't know that a good movie like this one could exist I recommand it to my friends
5.0 out of 5 stars X.MEN FIRST CLASS,
R. W. SIMPSON "DISCERNING VIEWER" (ONTARIO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: X-Men: First Class (Bilingual) (DVD)
I have collected X-Men comics for over 30 years. The Marvel movies are better than the comics. I love them, and this one in particular.
4.0 out of 5 stars X-Men,
Love this movie. Great cast. The X-series keep getting better in my opinion. Shipped fast and was a decent price.
4.0 out of 5 stars Good flick!,
This review is from: X-Men: First Class (Bilingual) (DVD)
This was a solid action-super hero type of story. Perhaps not the most deep of the x-men films, but definately worth a watch. There were lots of nods to the other films and comics, but not so much that you would get lost if this is your first x-men experience. It is great to see the young version of all of my favourite characters.
5.0 out of 5 stars the super hero movie I was waiting for,
Movie shipped fast got it about half a week early
As for the movie its self, first class was the first Xmen movie I've seen and left me craving more. I didn't feel like I needed to watch the other movies at all to understand what was going on, that being said I was talking to my friend and he said that there is still a lot of reference to the main movies which works as great fan service
Would highly recommend
5.0 out of 5 stars As advertised,
I'm reviewing the product not the movie. Item was as advertised and clearly not a 2nd hand or pirated copy (as I too often get from the other major on line retailer)
5.0 out of 5 stars A must get,
E. A. Schattschneider - See all my reviews
This review is from: X-Men: First Class (Bilingual) (DVD)
This movie is great. I just love the origins story of how the most well known xmen came to be. A must get.
5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!,
I love this movie! I had it originally in DVD, but when I saw the amazing price for this movie that had a blue ray and a digital copy. I had to get it. If you haven't seen this movie, I highly recommend it. It was a really god movie
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Introduction,
Though popular among comic readers, the X-Men series had been at the edge of the general public's periphery for years. That is until the movie series created a new and devoted following. The origins of the X-Men was a delight to watch in X-Men: First Class and I would love to see more backstory in the near future.
4.0 out of 5 stars Issue easily resolved,
The First Blu-ray that I received wasn't working. They sent me another 1 right away and it worked fine. Happy

Great stay for a layover. Shuttle was clean and convenient. Hotel has great amenities. Everyone was very helpful and friendly. I left my group early to fly back, so was alone for the one night I stayed. But I felt secure and relaxed, and was up and at the airport in perfect time for my flight.

We stayed here for two nights at the end of our U.K. trip before flying home. The room was excellent and the staff extremely helpful. Probably the best staff experience we have had at a large hotel. We went into London twice and the public transportation was easy to use. We used the Hotel Hoppa bus to get to and from Heathrow and it was excellent and very reasonable. I highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again if looking for a place near Heathrow.

- Family with older children
Only disappointing experiences were with Wifi. they have two wifi signals in the lobby. One is free and the other isn't. Very confusing and something that makes no sense to me, other than to take advantage of people who pick the wrong wifi. The other was the price of food and beverage in the room. 4 British Pounds for a bottle of water. That is over $6 US. Ridiculous. we walked to a convenience store and purchased water for less than a pound.

Federally-Mandated Medical Coding Gums Up IT Ops 254
from the release-the-hobgoblin-of-little-minds dept.
More and more I keep hearing "unfunded mandate" or "harsh deadline", but experience is translating it as "I waited till the last minute and now I'm screwed."
I don't see any "sense" in adding codes merely to tell the doctor which finger was amputated. All he has to do is LOOK and see for himself which finger is missing. This is typical government "make work" bureaucracy that makes no more sense than going-round and busting windows to boost construction jobs.
It's also what bankrupted the treasury and led to the downfall of the Roman Empire (according to one historical theory).
I had a finger amputated. Tell me which one. Go on, just LOOK, after all, that's obvious, right?
Not like there's ever a situation where that information, individually or aggregated, might be useful to anyone in the spheres of research, information or analysis, without the patient in front of them, waving. And if it is, we can just line up all the amputees and they can look at them one at a time.
Alternatively, maybe it'd be handy to code this stuff up.
Just be grateful its ICD and not SNOMED CT, which contains over a million medical concepts.
This is a misconception. The United States has the ighest share of private spending per individual on health care, yet it has the highest costs and only middling health outcomes [washingtonpost.com].
Every system in the developed world has a private spending component, usually through insurance and copays just like here, but most also have a government payer either as the single payer or more commonly as a backstop, last resort payer; all systems more firmly regulate costs and practices and all systems at least have independent boards to assure efficacy of treatments (we call those "death panels.") There's no empirical evidence that people make rational decisions about their own health care spending.
Once it hits the fan, the only rational choice is to sweep it up, package it, and sell it as fertilizer.
