Sep 2012 - $40.00
This place is a DUMP. We paid for 3 nights, but left after the second a $40 good decision. Quiet time 11-7 - forget it. Water pressure - zilch plus smelled like swamp water. Shower(ONE)filthy, bathrooms - dirty. Destitute trailer owners as well as some trailers that are obviously abandoned and slowly crumbling. Many have out buildings, extra tents, plies of trash, 'toys' in a mish mash. Never did see a management individual - we were left a map with a line drawn to the site but had us entering from the wrong direction which meant a circle around the muddy dirt roads. The pool - I think that's what it was - closed. Then there was the idiot at 6:00am that started his truck with loud mufflers and tried to see if he could rattle the valves on the engine. This could be a fantastic campground if the right owners were to do a house cleaning. Nicely sited, beautifully treed - but it needs a major overhaul and clean out of 'seasonals' who make their own rules. - IC2
Aug 2011 - $31.00
Request full-hookup sites with Electric, water and sewer. We try to provide quick, objective reviews of campgrounds. We spent a week here around Labor Day, September 2011. Pros: Friendly staff who seemed to take good care of short term maintenance issues. They very quickly responded to an electrical breaker problem we had. The dog walking paths were the best – a maze of long paths cut through a meadow, and into nearby woods. Kids seem to love the play areas and the hayrides. There was live entertainment in the common facility during Labor Day weekend. Great location for exploring Lake Cayuga, the area wineries, the town of Ithaca, and don't miss Taughannock Falls. Cons: Lake was overgrown with vegetation. Pool was used a lot, but it looked in serious disrepair. Very small campsites. We were crowded up against neighboring campers. Narrow roads . No laundry facilities. Many of the seasonal camper sites looked like junkyards; we guess there aren't many rules. This is an old, large campground in need of some serious capital improvements. We do NOT recommend this one. - FifthWheel Travelers
Aug 2010 - $36.00
If we could have checked out early and received a partial refund we would have but their policy doesn't allow it. Instead we took day trips around the area which has many gorgeous natural attractions. We thought this campground resembled more of a trailer park than a campground or RV resort. As you drive in you pass by their "pond" which is overgrown, swampy, and stinks. My kids were disappointed because they thought they would be able to fish in it. Many permanent residents don't take care of their lot. The "pool" was a large dip in the ground that has been cemented which we avoided. Much of the playground equipment was broken but there were so many bees nesting we avoided it anyhow. The roads are all dirt/gravel and between the potholes and mud my kids couldn't ride their bikes. The water pressure was too low to take showers with so we had to fill the fresh tank and run the pump. I rated it a 2 instead of 1 because I appreciated the amount of trees and the staff was very nice. Their web site looks great but the place left much to be desired. - mister_d

Hi FORKS. Tuesday I announced my new app, Turtl for Chrome (and soon Firefox). Turtl is a private Evernote alternative. It uses AES-256bit encryption to obscure your notes/bookmarks before leaving the browser. What this means is that even if your data is intercepted on the way to the server or if the server itself is compromised, your data remains private.
Even with all of Turtl's privacy, it's still easy to share boards with friends and colleagues: idea boards, todo lists, youtube playlists, etc. With Turtl, only you and the people you share with can see your data. Not even the guys running the servers can see it…it's just gibberish without the key that you hold.
One more thing: Turtl's server and clients are open-source under the GPLv3 license, meaning anyone can review the code or use it for themselves. This means that Turtl can never be secretly compromised by the prying hands of hackers or government gag orders. The world sees everything we do.
So check out Turtl and start keeping track of your life's data. If you want to keep up to date, follow Turtl on Twitter.

Dr. Shen is a graduate of University of Alberta (undergrad) and Harvard (PhD under Dr. Darren Higgins). She did her post-doc with Dr. Matthew Bogyo (CMB's 2013 Retreat Keynote Speaker) at Stanford and joined UVM in April of 2011.
~Kelly Fimlaid, PhD Candidate in MMG
~Chloe Adams, PhD Candidate in CMB
~Keyan Pishadian, Lab Tech
~Kristin Schutz, Lab Tech
~Owen Jensen, Undergrad in MMG
Accepting rotation students: YesAbout the lab:The Shen Lab studies Clostridium difficile sporulation and spore germination. C. difficile infections are often caught in hospitals because the bacterium is naturally antibiotic resistant. The organism can cause a dangerous diarrhea that can be fatal. It is difficult to treat and eliminate because of the organism's ability to form hardy, resistant spores. Spores are the infectious particle of C. difficile, so the Shen Lab is working on understanding the basic biology of how C. difficile spores form and how they transform into a vegetative cell during infection. The spore form is thought to be a major target for future therapeutics.
Exciting news in the Shen Lab:
~Kelly Fimlaid had a paper recently accepted to PLoS Genetics describing her work studying the regulation of C. difficile sporulation. Look out for an update on our blog when the paper is published.
~Kelly will also be going to Australia with Dr. Shen to attend the ClostPath conference in the Great Barrier Reef area. Dr. Shen will be speaking about the lab's work at this conference.
~Emily Putnam, a Middlebury graduate (undergrad) and, until recently, a tech in Dr. Shen's lab, has been accepted to the Microbiology PhD program at Yale this fall.
~Chloe Adams recently had a paper published in PLoS Pathogens describing the first crystal structure of protease required for spore germination.

Have you ever stopped to look closely at the snowflakes that fall on your sleeve during a cold, calm snowfall? If not, then you've been missing something quite extraordinary. A miniature work of art, each snowflake is carefully crafted by the clouds into its own unique, symmetrical pattern. Best of all, by the millions these diminutive ice sculptures fall from the sky, littering the landscape, waiting to be admired.
Because snowflakes are small, the eye alone cannot appreciate their full character. Magnification details their form and structure. Whenever I go skiing, I always carry a magnifying glass hoping for an opportunity to do some good snowflake watching. Or, if I forget to pack one in a pocket, I always keep another in the glove compartment of my car. A cold windshield makes a wonderful snowflake observatory; it has a comfortable slope at just the right height, and the smooth surface makes it easy to brush the snow aside to make room for new flakes.
When packing a magnifier, you don't need the bulky Sherlock Holmes variety; go instead with a small, fold-up model you can find at most drugstores and hardware stores. If I really want to travel light, I cut off the mounting, so I'm left with just a plain glass lens, which is thin and nicely slides into any pocket. Although we can't predict when a dazzling display of snowflakes will fall, we can easy to be prepared for it.
Depending mostly on temperature, snowflakes create a wonderful variety of shapes and patterns, with different types appearing in different snowfalls. On cold days, with the thermometer reading close to zero, small, flat symmetrical snow stars with well-defined crystal facets look like tiny ice mirrors as they catch the light. Cold-weather snowflakes can be quite photogenic, since they have well-formed, symmetrical shapes, and they don't melt away so quickly when you put them under the microscope. Canonical snowflakes, cold-weather flakes make excellent photographic subjects and are copied in paper cut-outs and winter holiday decorations.
Most snowflakes of this type are six-fold symmetric to some degree, reflecting the underlying symmetry of the crystalline structure of ice. Occasionally, a rare 12-branched snowflake results when two six-branched crystals form and grow together. Nature will not produce eight-fold symmetry, or likewise four-, five-, or seven-fold symmetry. Water molecules just don't hook up that way.
Because snowflake's intricate structures quickly evaporate away on the ground, it's best to observe them right after they fall. The sharp edges and corners slowly deteriorate, leaving a snow bank made of little blocks of ice, without the original elaborate patterns--temporary works of art.
When the temperature drops to 10 degrees, look for large, leafy stellar dendrites floating gently to earth. The branches of these crystals contain many side branches, giving them a delicate, fern-like appearance. A single crystal of ice in spite of its complex shape, a stellar dendrite lines up water molecules from one end to the other. Branches and side branches orient with 60-degree angles relative to one another, even on opposite sides of the flake, a structure that reflects the precise ordering of the water molecules in the crystal. The complex geometry of a snow crystal still reflects the simple composition of its molecules.
With high humidity and low clouds, stellar dendrites can grow quite large. One Christmas Eve in Canada, I saw some monster stellar dendrite crystals nearly a half-inch across. Individual snow crystals—complex structures that are still single ice crystals—rarely get to this size in nature. Because they become heavier as they grow, after 10 – 20 minutes they drop out of their cloudy nurseries and cease growing larger.
Snow crystals frequently collide and stick together in mid-air as they fall, forming puff balls that seem to explode when they hit clothing. Made of thousands of linked snow crystals, these snowy puff balls are also called snowflakes. The leafy stellar dendrites make the lightest puff balls and hence the fluffiest snow when they hit the ground, since the arms of the crystals keep the snow loosely packed. On colder days, pick up a handful of freshly fallen snow to spy the interlocking dendrites before they lose too much of their shape.
In warmer snowfalls, with temperatures reaching up into the 20s, snowflakes change their appearance completely. Instead of the thin, plate-like stellar crystals found at lower temperatures, high-temperature crystals appear blocky—small hexagonal columns of various lengths, something like the shape of a wooden pencil, often with hollow ends. In just the right conditions, copious extremely thin columns look like ice needles. Although quite abundant, columnar and needle-like snow crystals lack the photogenic popularity of their plate-like cousins. Mall decorations don't feature columnar crystals.
Sometimes nature mixes up a bit. Quite commonly, a snow crystal can start out growing like a column, but decide later in its life to grow like a plate. The end result is a column with a plate on each end, called a capped column. Snowfall producing weather fronts often push air to higher altitudes and cool it steadily with time, which is just the condition needed to make capped columns.
Remarkably, stellar snow crystals can have extremely complex symmetrical shapes. Some are almost plant-like in appearance, like little flowers, although there is certainly no genetic code that guides its development. It's just made of ice, after all.
So how do the six branches of a stellar snow crystal all manage to grow in the same intricate pattern? How does one arm know what the others are doing? Snow crystal growth is exceedingly sensitive to the air temperature and humidity. Imagine the life of an individual snow crystal. It begins when a tiny cloud droplet, one of a vast number in a typical cloud, freezes into a small particle of ice. The ice immediately begins to grow by condensing water vapor directly from the air around it. In a short time, facets form, and the crystal may grow into a small, simple hexagonal plate.
As the crystal grows, it blows to and fro inside the cloud, where it experiences regions with varying temperatures and humidities. At some point during its travels, conditions may prompt the plate to sprout arms from its corners. Because each corner sees the same conditions, each corner shoots an arm up at the same time. As the arms grow, their shape varies with cold and humidity, developing a complex pattern that reflects growth conditions. And since each arm sees the same conditions at the same time, each arm grows identical. The result is a snowflake that is both complex and symmetrical.
Of course, nature doesn't always work that way. Most snow crystals do not form with six beautifully symmetrical arms. If you watch snowflakes, you'll soon discover many lopsided, asymmetrical shapes. Frequently, an entire snowfall brings nothing but formless ice globs. The really stunning crystals are rare.
Because each growing crystal follows its own path through the clouds, an endless variety of unique snow crystal patterns arises. Different paths give different snowflake patterns, but all are variations on the same theme--ice crystals growing from water vapor in the air.
So is it really true that no two snowflakes are alike? Certainly the large, ornate stellar crystals are so complex in shape that there is essentially no chance for twins. In this sense snowflakes are as unique as fingerprints; random complex patterns of any kind never repeat exactly.
But don't take my word for it: get a magnifying glass, go out in the snow, and you be the judge. Watch snowflakes; you will soon catch sight of your own stellar dendrites, capped columns, 12-sided snowflakes, or specimens even more exotic. You never know what you might find floating down from the clouds.

Bruno Mars' singing sisters The Lylas 'dream about' joining his Super Bowl halftime show
"He always one-ups us, doesn't he?"
So says a laughing Tiara Hernandez, one of Bruno Mars' four singing sisters who comprise the group The Lylas, in considering their Grammy-winning brother's date to star in the Super Bowl XLVIII halftime show Sunday, Feb. 2.
FOX will televise the football championship from MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., and the ladies aren't sure whether they'll be part of his act there.
"We've been talking about it a lot," Tiara tells Zap2it. "It's a really good question. It's something we'd dream about, but that's his thing, and we wouldn't want to take the spotlight away from him. If we show up, we're four girls, and he's just one guy. He's done."
The Lylas stress all the siblings -- also including Jaime Kailani, Presley Hernandez and mother-of-two Tahiti Hernandez -- tease one another constantly, as seen in the women's WE reality show that premieres Friday, Nov. 8. It traces the sisters' move from Hawaii to Los Angeles, shortly before their mother's passing in June, to try to establish their own shared career.
Tiara reports "Locked Out of Heaven" hitmaker Mars "has watched several episodes" of the series, "and he does a really funny impersonation of us. We're family, so we're really close and really supportive of each other .... but of course, we pick on each other all the time, whenever we have a chance. That's who we are."

Panama's Copa Airlines expects to grow capacity by 14% in 2013, with a majority of the additional capacity attributed to new destinations and frequencies it launched this year.
The Star Alliance carrier is expecting a full-year load factor of 76% in 2013, and for revenue per available seat mile (RASM) to grow slightly to 13.7 cents, says Copa's chief financial officer Victor Vial in an earnings call today.
Vial expects 2013's cost per available seat mile (CASM) excluding fuel to come in at 6.6 cents, and for the airline to post an operating margin of between 18% and 20%.
Copa now expects to grow full-year 2012 ASMs by 24%, up slightly from the 23% it forecasted earlier, says Vial. The airline's operating margin for 2012 will narrow to 19%, from the 18% to 20% range it had expected earlier. It is maintaining its guidance for its 2012 load factor at 75%, RASM at 13.6 cents and CASM excluding fuel at 6.7 cents.
About 70% of the capacity growth in 2013 will be the full-year effect of new destinations and frequencies launched by the carrier this year, says Vial. Copa now flies to 64 destinations and added 14 destinations in the last 18 months, says its chief executive Pedro Heilbron.
The airline will add frequencies to several markets in December, says Pedro today. These include a fifth daily flight to Cancun, a fourth daily flight to Sao Paulo, a third daily flight to Los Angeles, a second daily flight to Santa Cruz, and seasonal frequencies to other markets.
Copa's 2013 capacity growth will be concentrated more in the first half of the year, says Vial. Both the first and second quarter will see about 18% to 19% growth in ASMs, while the third and fourth quarter will see capacity growing by about 10% in each quarter.
Copa will end 2012 with a fleet of 83 aircraft, following the delivery of two Boeing 737-800s and the return of a leased 737-800 in the fourth quarter. It will take delivery of seven 737-800s in 2013 to end that year with 90 aircraft.

Better Together boasted on its website that the Fraser of Allander Institute, part of Strathclyde University Business School, was critical about Scotland's finances, based on a contribution by Labour adviser Professor Arthur Midwinter. But the institute protested it had been wrongly co-opted to the cause and it valued its political independence.
Cliff Lockyer, managing editor at the institute, said: "We had problems with how the Better Together campaign were citing this and told them to change this. Articles reflect opinions of the authors and are not necessarily those of the institute."
A spokesman for Better Together said they had responded to a request from the Fraser of Allander Institute to clarify the website claims.

Public Agenda can safely conclude that if President John Dramani Mahama's ministerial nominations were taken for an examination, he would have made marks, earning him an overall grade of B+.
Undoubtedly, he will score full marks when it comes to indicators on competence and regional balance and score fairly for gender balance.
Overall, the President's appointees are persons we can say are coming to their respective offices with little or no excess baggage like corruption, sheer arrogance and greed. Indeed, their attested level of competence would perhaps pre-empt any description of the team as a "Team B" as happened to the team picked by President Mahama's former boss, late President John Evans Atta Mills.
He has come for praise for the inclusiveness of his team considering that a region as small (in population and size) as the Upper West Region has four Ministers-designate. Equally, his ability to weave persons from outside of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) into his team is considered remarkably admirable.
In terms of gender considerations, President Mahama appears to be a lot conscious of the fact that women empowerment largely depends on involvement in decision-making, hence the naming of eight women who many consider to be well-qualified among the first 37 ministerial appointees.
Also, the President's decision to appoint a woman for the Health Ministry is perhaps a reiteration of the point he made when he announced the Critical Policy Actions of the John Dramani Mahama Administration [September to December 2012].
At the time, he said: "Ghana is also lagging behind in the attainment of several important MDGs, such as child and maternal mortality, as well as sanitation. Gender disparities, which mostly manifest themselves in unequal access to economic opportunities and high maternal mortality rates, remain high."
The women so far appointed by the President include Ms Hannah Serwaah Tetteh, Minister designate for Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration; Mrs Marietta Brew Appiah-Oppong, Minister designate for Justice and Attorney-General; Ms Hanny-Sherry Ayittey, Minister designate for Health; and Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyeman, Minister designate for Education. The rest are Nana Oye Lithur, Minister designate for Gender, Children and Social Protection; Mrs Dzifa Attivor, Minister designate for Transport; Mrs Elizabeth Ofosu-Agyare, Minister designate for Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts; and Hon. Comfort Doyoe Cudjoe Ghansah, Minister of State designate at the Presidency in charge of Social and Allied institutions in the Office of the President.
In terms of representation, these women represent 21.6 per cent of ministerial appointments, suggesting that the President would have to up his game, especially in appointing the four other regional ministers as well as deputy ministers. For now, he is far from the 40 per cent target for gender representation that would be acceptable to many facets of society, particularly gender-based advocacy organizations. The task is even more daunting if one considers appointments in their entirety. So far there have been 46 appointments - including those of the "three wise men", five advisors and Mawuena Dumor Trebah as Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC). That puts women's representation at 19.5 per cent (9 out of 46).
Equally, the President should be keen not to depart from the focus he has so far kept on competency and all-inclusiveness when appointing his deputy ministers. It would be suicidal if he engages in any pandering as has been seen with some of the special appointments he has made.
It is commonplace now that the failings of the President lie in appointments which are considered to be potentially problematic because of the possible conflict in role-play that could arise. Clearly, the President was attempting to satisfy certain individuals and groupings who would have considered the individuals so named as "Ministers of State in Charge of..." and "Coordinators for..." as too big to be left out of the government.
Criticisms for this apparent pandering have come in a flurry as we reported in our banner story for Friday January 25, 2012 under the heading: "JM STABS SPIRIT OF CONSTITUTION."
Dr Charles Wereko-Brobby, a leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), is one personality who has taken swipes at the President over the appointments. Speaking on Joy FM's Super Morning Show last Wednesday, he desired that "I wish our people had gone to Parliament and asked, 'what is it that the ministers are going to do at the presidency that sector ministers in well established ministries cannot do?"
Similarly, the Managing Editor of Insight, Mr Kwesi Pratt Jnr, has characterised some of the appointments as "sloppy" and fraught with "confusion". According to him, there was "no clarity" of the kind of message the President is trying to send with his appointments describing it as "disappointing".
Mr Pratt contends that President Mahama appeared to have sown seeds of conflict in his government with the kind of appointments he has made so far.

"whatcha gonna do?"? Youre gonna draw draw draw over and over again until you get it! If your drawing doesnt turn out how you meant it to, try again, pay careful attention, make sure to get it looking right! Keep practicing, dont give up
The coloring job could use alot of work too, you really need to practice rendering and study lights and shadows in black and white. Get out a pencil and a pad and do some studies, get used to shading before you try to paint an alien blue android.
keep it up!

the apostolic letters. The New Testament contains twenty-one in all. They are divided into two classes. (1.) Paul's Epistles, fourteen in number, including Hebrews. These are not arranged in the New Testament in the order of time as to their composition, but rather according to the rank of the cities or places to which they were sent. Who arranged them after this manner is unknown. Paul's letters were, as a rule, dictated to an amanuensis, a fact which accounts for some of their peculiarities. He authenticated them, however, by adding a few words in his own hand at the close. (See GALATIANS, EPISTLE TO.)

iPad in Business -- Doctors Want it, Omni Group Gets it
While much of iPad presentation thus far has been focused on content consumption, Apple's iWork demo and the ability to run iPhone productivity apps -- and eventually iPad-specific apps -- as well as 1024x768 web apps means it's got a fighting chance in business, especially key verticals like medicine, and with developers like Omni Group.
First up, 9to5mac reports that in a survey by medical lynch-pin Epocrates [Free - iTunes link], up to 60% of doctors were at least considering an iPad:
- 9 percent want it now
- 13 percent want it this year
- 38 percent were interested and wanted more info
Next, Mac developer Omni Group, which has dipped a toe into iPhone development with Omni Focus [$19.99 - iTunes link], has decided to port than entire portfolio of apps -- OmniGraffle, OmniOutliner, OmniPlan, OmniFocus, and OmniGraphSketcher -- to iPad even if it delays development of the Mac versions:
Remember how Macintosh was intended to be the computer "for the rest of us"? That's what we feel Apple's iPad is: the best computing device for most of the things people use computers for. (Or, as Apple puts it, "the best way to experience the web, email, and photos.") It's the computer people can sit down and start using immediately, without training, whether they're 2 or 92.
Having seen many workers struggle with inelegant interfaces and fidget with poorly conceived controls, the idea of a great app on a 9.7" multitouch screen will no doubt be highly appealing to some. An app that could work across iPhone, iPad, and desktop could also allow for quick reference when on the go, easy exploration when on site, and powerful organization and reporting when back at the desk. Sound appealing to you?

iPad in Business -- Doctors Want it, Omni Group Gets it
Yep ipad looks to potentially be the missing hardware link for our mobile primary care workforce of the future 9 hour battery, light, droppable, 3g, makes our virtual web office a reality to reduce physician overhead 80%. So sad much of hit industry is still pc based with it's current inferior hardware expensive and unecessary software and exorbitant security costs. NAtalie hodge md faap
It's not like your doctor is going to be playing skeeball vs. auscultating breath sounds. The idea of a tablet inputting device has applealed to the medical community for years, but all the incarnations thus far have proven disappointing. All medical records are being converted to electronic, and quicker input means more time for patient care. Reimbursement continues to drop and being efficient is a necessity.
Healthcare has never been known for its prowess in cutting edge IT. Maybe the iPad can leapfrog this by providing a refined interface to Electronic Medical Records. But nothing even close to an iPad (or even Mac) EMR outside of a Citrix window currently even exists.
With HIT Stimulus kicking in starting 2011, they'd need to hustle something to market, get certified and beat entrenched solutions.
(DISCLAIMER: I help run the computers for a private practice)
Actually, efficiency is exactly what has kept tablets from taking off in healthcare. Efficiencies in "they system" aside, what matters to a practice is what is efficient FOR THE DOCTOR. Simply put, the doctor's time is the engine for the whole business, and any practice would much rather pay an office worker before/after each appointment to fetch/data entry charts and let the doctor focus on patients.
Every minute the doctor spends with a tablet is less time she spends with a patient. With previous tablets, the time difference was substantial enough that it projected to several less patients per day, which over the course of a year is a huge hit to the bottom line. The iPad will no doubt be better, but still not as fast as shorthand on a chart for most offices. Tablets will make inroads first in imaging centers and large hospitals, where other functions and sharing of data are large enough benefits to compensate, but, for a huge number of doctors, the economics of switching to tablets just do not add up, because it hurts their business' efficiency.
That said, I would LOVE for my practice to pick up a couple of iPads, and most doctors I know under 40 want to switch. As long as the doctor time differential is there, though, the economics say no -- but there is about eleventy kajillion dollars out there on the table for the shop who can make hardware/software that allows doctors to fetch/retrieve patient data as quickly and easily as whatever their current preferred method happens to be.
Uh, iPhone applications have supported peripherals for a while now...
And who says it won't be droppable? Anyone who owns this is going to buy the apple case or a case of another manufacturer.
The iPad in the the medical field would be perfect for retrieving medical and patient data. The big problem as @dev has pointed out is the way the iPad should be used. Like any device of this nature is can not and should not be used to replace an individual in every circumstance. It should only be used as a quicker way to retrieve, view, share or update information.
In a doctor's office or a hospital setting and implemented properly the iPad(s) can increase productivity as patient data can be retrieved and updated instantly. And in cases of emergency requiring multiple doctors assessments who are far way or en-route they can would all be able to view the same records simultaneously and be ready upon arrival. So the time spent using the iPad should be no more but possibly less than with pen and paper. At the same time it can also prevent wasted time by giving doctors access themselves when necessary instead of asking and waiting for an assistant to retrieve said information. But it all depends on proper implementation, proper software, and doctors who are are open-minded enough to see the benefits.
It is not a question of open-mindedness, though a lot of (especially older) doctors are resistant to change. It is a question of streamlining the patient care pipeline, which tablets in general have failed to do. Specifically, for doctors requesting information, in non-emergency situations most clinics have it down to a science; somebody has retrieved all necessary information by the time the doctor gets around to needing it. The doctor (and PA/RN) time is what keeps the business running, so any changes that hurt (or just do not help) them will be met with skepticism. In other words, it is not enough for the iPad to be quicker -- it has to be quicker for the right person. If it is:
Pad and Paper
- 3 minutes for dr + 12 minutes for office worker = 15 minutes total
- 8 minutes for dr +0 minutes for office worker = 8 minutes total
Even if the iPad is overall faster, it will still lose out in most practices, because with paper the doctor has already moved on to the next patient, or given the current patient extra attention, in that extra 5 minutes. The office worker's having to spend extra 12 minutes will neither hurt the patient nor the practice's bottom line.
It may seem small, but that, as much as any luddite tendencies, is the reason so many practices have not even embraced electronic medical records -- because almost all implementations save the administrative staff some time but make it harder on the clinicians (doctors/nurses) and/or hurt the practice's bottom line.
EMR (and the iPad's possible role) do have many systemic advantages, though, which is why the government will essentially be bribing doctors to switch by a target date, and cutting payments to those who do not ( http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/588354 ). Still, as long as the day-to-day incentives go the wrong way for most physicians, it will be a tough sell, which is why there will be that eleventy kajillion dollars there for the people who nail it perfectly.
One of my GP's used an older touch screen pc that he carried around with him. He's going to love the ipad.
(disclaimer: I'm a vascular surgery PA-C who has used several EMRs and a previous tablet input device)
The point of my earlier statement was that the iPad itself would not neccessarily equal attention taken away from patient care.
I personally do not know if the iPad would work as an adequate form factor for patient documentation. IMO (based upon my experience with the iPhone), Apple has a better chance of implementing such a device , but it has many hurdles to overcome. Such as the hardware being embraced by the third party emr. Data input would have to be simple and quick (a good speech to text option should be included). No one denies that scratching out a few lines on the paper chart is not quicker and probably easier but that does not mean better.
The fact is the government is not bribing practices into using EMRs, they are extorting them into it. The conversion was tough, and to change brands was also tough. Although, it does have a few advantages. First and foremost , it is legible. Another important feature is remote access (from the hospital, or other offices).
Many of your points I agree with, many physicians (some older and some not) do not embrace change. That however does not mean as an industry that we should not look to technology to assist where it can. This is one of those times when exploring the possiblities is important.
(Why am I yelling, and where the heck did this soapbox come from?)
Agreed 100% -- all I wanted to convey is that many (if not most) physicians that have not embraced EMR, and who may not embrace the iPad, are not Luddites, but most have sound reasons for doing so.
We actually use Athena, which gives the most crucial benefit to us -- instant remote access -- but not their EMR, because it simply did not help enough to offset the costs, and did slow a few things down. Don't get me wrong; I would dearly love us to find a EMR, and every few months, I look at it again. I also do not know if the iPad will work in this theater, but I will probably justify my own iPad purchase as research :)
And I said bribe/cut payments because it sounded somehow cleaner than extortion, but, now that you put the word out there, I am not going to disagree, there, either :)
We are in the process of introducing an electronic Patient Care Reporting system. We are one of the larger Fire Departments in the country and run 85% medical calls. The ePCR system on a tablet computer is so efficient that our field team of medics assumes that they will be faster then beforehand on paper and they assume that they will have 90% of calls complete prior to hospital arrival. The efficiency of this system comes through a very intuitive user interface. After having worked with this system for a couple of month in our test phase I am confident that one can develop something that will empower a doctor to take his data while being with a patient in many non ER room scenarios without losing patient communication.
@G: every doctor I have ever known leaves me waiting in the room as he goes to the computer to look up medical information or prescription stuff. I would much rather he stay in the office and do that stuff on an ipad than leave me waiting in the office while he does it. An ipad would make his work easier and more efficient to have information readily available.
My friend is a nurse at a hospital and all the doctors and some nurses have iPhones where they keep information relating to patients health history, diagnosis and what prescription medicine is right. I can only see the iPad helping with less paper work. Who wants to write on paper anymore, constantly looking for pens and then other nurses look at it and say, "what did they write here?"
If a developer could create an ePCR system for the iPad, they could be set for life... Other companies selling ePCR for ambulances are charging mega bucks, plus the EMS service needs to purchase a laptop or MANY to work properly. The iPad is affordable enough for even the small volunteer ambulance to get one, and a decent fee for the software would make them a must have...
Thanks for the iPad help! I will try to get as many as I can!
Appreciate this blogpost concerning to Medical. This particular is exactly precisely what My spouse and i am searching for! :)

SOME 62 women who have survived Fistula, have been undergoing training sessions aimed at helping them start businesses and fight poverty.
Vodacom Foundation, together with CCBRT has facilitated a programme dubbed 'Mabinti Centre,' that has seen the women gain knowledge on various activities such as knitting clothes, bags and mats.
The programme that was started in 2007 under CCBRT Hospital in Dar es Salaam is aimed at empowering the women and helping them fight poverty, as well as regaining their self esteem.
Speaking in Dar es Salaam, Katia Geurts, Mabinti Centre Coordinator, said that most of Fistula survivors come from poor backgrounds, hence the need to support them in every way possible.
"These women have had a hard time in the past. Dealing with this condition is traumatizing. That is why we are committed to support them too and also to ensure that once they go back home they have something beneficial to do for themselves and also their families," said Geurts.
"With these certificates, they can easily get employment at a place of their choice, since this is enough proof that they have qualified in that particular field," she said.
On her part, Ms Jane Rugalabamu, the programme's trainer and also a fistula survivor, said that men across the country should not shy away from supporting women who have fistula programme.
Vodacom Foundation Manager, Ms Grace Lyon, while speaking on behalf of Vodacom Tanzania and the Vodafone Group, assured that all women suffering from fistula shall be supported in order to get well through the Moyo Campaign.

Ben Griffith confirmed Tuesday he will leave his position as Starkville's city planner on Oct. 18 after a six-year tenure.
Griffith made the announcement during Tuesday's meeting of the Starkville Planning and Zoning Commission. He said he has accepted a planning position in another city outside the state, but he declined to comment further on his new position on the record.
"I wanted to let you know it's been an honor and privilege working with you, and I wish you all the best," Griffith said to the zoning commission.
Several members of the commission, including commission chair Jerry Emison, congratulated Griffith on his new job. Emison said he was particularly grateful to Griffith for his professionalism.
"You've maintained your poise, focused on your work (and) stayed unflappable throughout some pretty exciting deliberations at least since I've been on the commission, and I thank you for that," Emison said to Griffith. "I'd also like to thank you for ... the energy you've brought into this. You work incredible hours ... you define dedication ... and amazingly, you do all this and you're affable. I think this (move to another city's planning position) is a terrific thing for you, (and) it's a terrible thing for the city of Starkville."
Mayor Parker Wiseman said the timetable for replacing Griffith is not yet set in stone. The city planner position is the latest of several municipal leadership positions to see turnover in Starkville over the past year, with Emma Gandy replacing Sharon Boyd as sanitation director, Herman Peters serving as interim director of Parks and Recreation while the city seeks a permanent replacement for Matthew Rye, and Taylor Adams becoming the city's director of finance, functionally replacing retired city clerk Markeeta Outlaw.
"We've been fortunate over the years to have very capable department heads, and that is a trend I expect to continue in the future," Wiseman said. "Filling a (departmental) vacancy is always a significant task. I anticipate that (Lynn) Spruill, the chief administrative officer, will serve in an interim (planning) capacity as the board lays out a timetable for the search process."
Like Emison, Wiseman said Griffith has been a pleasure to work with.
"Ben's got an easygoing demeanor, and his personality is approachable, which is important in a job that deals so directly with the public," Wiseman said.
Griffith has done much more than fulfill his primary responsibilities as city planner over the past six years, Wiseman said. Griffith coordinated the city's floodplain program and its Americans with Disabilities Act program.
He also oversaw the city's establishment of the Starkville Historic Preservation Commission, Wiseman said.
"Ben has worn many hats, and he's worn them all well," Wiseman said. "He goes above and beyond the call of duty to give Starkville his very best effort. He also works long hours well into the night, and it's not uncommon at all for him to be at City Hall on weekends. Starkville is better for the dedicated service Ben has provided over the last six years, and he will be sorely missed."
Michael Fazio, chairman of the Starkville Historic Preservation Commission, said he was also glad to have worked with Griffith.
"(Griffith) always takes care of everything that's his responsibility," Fazio said. "He's just a very responsible fellow. It makes my job a lot easier."

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - Officials have several subjects in custody after a short pursuit that led to a foot chase Friday afternoon.
According to officials, a man saw his white Ford pick up truck that had been reported stolen, at the intersection of Johnson Avenue and Edgewood Road around 3:30 p.m. An altercation started between the two drivers, and according to Sgt. Cristy Hamblin, shots were fired at the vehicle. No one was injured.
Officials attempted to stop the truck and were led them on a pursuit through southwest Cedar Rapids. The truck knocked down a small tree, traveled through the yard of 1248 19th Avenue SW and crashed into another small tree in the alley between 18th and 19th Avenue.
According to a neighbor who wanted to remain unnamed, she saw a female officer draw her weapon and shout "freeze." She then saw a male officer take down the subject and put him in handcuffs. "They were wrestling for a couple of minutes," the neighbor said.
Police arrested two males and one female in relation with this incident, and their names have not been released yet.
According to Lt. Dominic Wibe, authorities also recovered two weapons from the vehicle.
Authorities on scene were investigating the outside of 1248 19th Avenue SW where the vehicle drove through the yard. There appeared to be a syringe on the pathway to the front door, as well as a pack of cigarettes.
The incident remains under investigation.

DNR adjusts administrative region boundaries in Thurston and Grays Harbor counties Capitol State Forest and state trust lands in Thurston County will be managed from region headquarters in Enumclaw starting July 1
OLYMPIA – On July 1, 2014, the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) will complete an adjustment of boundaries for three of its operational units in Western Washington. Realigning the boundaries of DNR's Olympic, Pacific Cascade, and South Puget Sound regions will help the agency to better balance staff workloads and improve operational efficiency while preserving the quality of the services its region offices deliver to the public, landowners, and businesses.
"This realignment strengthens our ability to deliver the vital services that Washington citizens expect from DNR," said Department Supervisor Lenny Young.
Following the realignment, all state trust lands in Thurston County including Capitol State Forest, as well as the portion of the state forest located in Grays Harbor County will become part of the South Puget Sound Region, headquartered in Enumclaw. The Wynoochee River drainage, east of Aberdeen, will become part of DNR's Olympic Region, headquartered in Forks.
Because no jobs will be eliminated as a result of the boundary changes and no employees will be asked to relocate, the quality and level of services DNR provides to the public should not be affected in any of those regions. All employees currently assigned within the boundary adjustment areas, including those who maintain recreation lands and provide wildfire response, will continue to report to their usual work areas.DNR… caring for your natural resources Administered by Commissioner of Public Lands Peter Goldmark, DNR manages more than 5.6 million acres of state-owned forest, range, commercial, agricultural, conservation, and aquatic lands. More than half of these lands are held in trust and produce income to support public schools, universities, prisons, and other state institutions.

Welcome to the Ahwatukee Foothills Soccer Club's 12th Annual
Soccer Fest Tournament Website
The Ahwatukee Foothills Soccer Fest offers a unique & fun tournament experience for clubs from all over Arizona. The 2013 event hosted 260 teams with many coming from out of the Phoenix area. 30-40% of the teams that attend Ahwatukee's Soccer Fest are not Phoenix based teams.
This year's tournament will be around the Ahwatukee area, primarily at Tempe Sports Complex & Pecos Park. Older age groups will play out of Tempe Sports Complex, younger age groups will be primarily at Pecos Park. We also have more fields available on Friday night, so games will kick-off at 6 pm instead of 5 pm. This year's tournament will host multiple flights per age group for both boys and girls (Premier & Division 1). Our flights range from U7 to U18 for both boys and girls. U7 to U9 will play by AYSA Academy rules, U11 age groups play at 8-a-side. Our U11 fields are not U10 fields, but actually are larger fields (85X50) built only for this division, therefore the goalkeepers will not be punting the ball from end to end.
Ahwatukee Foothills Soccer Fest is a "Stay & Play" tournament. We have partnered with HBC Events to ensure all families traveling in for our tournament will have a quality hotel available at a competitive price. All out-of-town teams must book their hotel through our website to qualify for tournament acceptance. Click here for further details. Due to the growth of our tournament, we must tighten our registration deadlines. The final registration deadline is September 30th, 2014. We do expect to have certain age groups fill up quickly, therefore please be sure to register early.
Our tournaments offer:
- October weather in Phoenix is perfect for playing multiple games in a day
- Penalty Kicks for all age brackets in finals (U10 & up)
- 1st & 2nd place awards for all age brackets (U10 & up)
- Quality Fields and Referees with Pecos Park & Tempe Sports Complex being our primary locations
- Ideally located for Tucson Teams - our fields are the southern most part of Phoenix
- Scores sent to cell phone or e-mail
- Last Tournament before High School Try-Outs (last chance to make-up games)
There is also plenty to do in between games
- The Brand New Outlet Shopping Center is steps away from Pecos Park
- Movie Theater is less than two miles from Pecos Park
- Pecos Park has a Skate Park, Basketball, & Tennis courts (ideal for siblings)
- Lots of restaurants in the area
- Wild Horse Resort and Rawhide are around the corner from our fields

Two Campbell County manufacturing plants are closing, putting about 184 people out of work.
JACKSBORO— Jacksboro police Detective Mike Starrett is recovering from last Friday's crash in his cruiser, but there is still a long way to go before he can return to work.
In the span of three days, multiple crashes in the county caused three fatalities, several serious injuries, and long Interstate highway shutdowns.
Campbell County High School's gymnasium is named after Coach John Brown, and an honoree at the Campbell County game last Thursday night played for the man.

Nature Hills provides a wide variety of shrubs with stunning fall colors. Shrubs are selected for many reasons, but fall color should be a major criteria. The fall season elicits a menagerie of color, and injecting a color scheme into the landscape takes careful planning. It is wise to remember that not only is the foliage important, but flowers, berries, and seed pods add additional color and interest. Choose fall color shrubs that complement each other and brim with interest all year long. The Chippewa or Peach Sorbet Blueberries (vaccinium) are ornamental, fruit producing, and have striking fall colors. An eye-catching combination is created when the purple-orange of the Black Chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa) mixes with the fire-red Burning Bush (Euonymus alatus) that is placed in the background. Dozens of these color combinations may be selected from the fall color shrubs category.
Fall color shrubs can produce lovely landscapes even after the colorful leaves have fallen. Shrubs such as the Red Twigged Dogwood (Cornus) and the Yellow Twig Dogwood (Cornus) have bright red and yellow stems to lighten up a barren fall or winter garden. For spectacular fall views, you can find fall color attributes in the hydrangea, viburnum, Beautyberry (Callicarpa), and Ninebark (Physocarpus) families.

Switchblade Monkeys is giving Secret Ponchos players an extra Steam key
Celebrating the Early Access launch of Secret Ponchos on Steam, developer Switchblade Monkeys is rewarding every owner of the game with a free Steam code to give to a friend, or an enemy you want to shoot in the face.
Dubbed the "Double Down" promotion, all purchases of Secret Ponchos prior to August 5th will include an additional Steam code to unlock Early Access now and the full game at launch.
"It has only been five weeks since we launched on Early Access," said Creative Director Yousuf Mapara, "but the community of players has been absolutely amazing. This our way of thanking everyone for supporting us as we continue to polish Secret Ponchos and add new features."
For those unfamiliar, Secret Ponchos is a fast-paced, competitive multiplayer game featuring all-out PvP in the American Wild West. Because, you know, that's pretty much all the Wild West was about anyway. The game currently features four-player shootouts (soon to be eight-player), a customizable cast of outlaws, and a unique line-of-sight combat feature.
Secret Ponchos is out now on Steam Early Access and is coming to PS4 this fall.

Pretoria — Gauteng Agriculture, Conservation, Environmental and Land Affairs MEC Mary Metcalfe today launched a R3.2-million competition to encourage communities throughout the province to protect and improve their environment.
The Bontle ke Botho (beauty is humanity) competition is aimed at mobilising communities to embark on actions that will help improve the environment.
The competition promotes 'cleaning and greening' of the environment and is run under the theme: 'Water, sanitation and human settlement'.
Municipaties, wards and schools have been invited to jointly initiate and implement practical environmental projects focusing on waste, sanitation and hygiene awareness within communities.
They are also required to develop action plans that will be implemented during the span of the campaign in ways that would be deemed as helpful to improve both the state of the environment and quality of people's life.
About 241 wards and 601 schools around Gauteng are participating in the competition. The launch of the 'cleaning and greening' competition coincides with World Environmental Day, celebrated globally today.
South Africa's theme for World Environment Day is 'My environment, my life', which focuses on issues such as access to clean air, environment and fresh water.
Ms Metcalf addressed over six hundred people in Nasrec, Johannesburg, and said this year's Botle ke Botho campaign would provide communities with a platform to raise mass awareness and promote efficient planning and implementation of practical programmes such as waste and littering, and the proper use of energy.
'We have this campaign which comes as a form of competition, so we need to use it to mobilise each other on the need to live in a healthy environment,' Ms Metcalfe said.
She said the campaign would encourage people to become active participants in promoting a sustainable environment and equitable living.
MEC Metcalf said there would be greater understanding and change of attitude towards the environment if communities and schools played a pivotal role in highlighting crucial environmental issues.
The campaign was introduced last year as part of preparations for the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD), which took place in Johannesburg.

Brendan Shanahan had a busy regular season, but he could be in line for a busier postseason. Three players will have hearings with the league disciplinarian for their actions during Saturday's slate of playoff games. Rangers forward Carl Hagelin and Senators defenseman Matt Carkner will each have hearings Sunday afternoon, while Blackhawks forward Andrew Shaw will have a hearing on Monday. Hagelin was slapped with a major penalty after elbowing Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson in the head during the second period of Ottawa's overtime win on Saturday. Carkner received a five-minute major for fighting, a two-minute minor for instigating and...

Suzuki S40 / Savage - Ryca Scrambler Conversion

Joined: May 2005

Oddometer: 1,516
Thank you for the thread, Kras -it is much appreciated.
I've been interested in the Ryca project since I first read about it in some of the bike magazines - I didn't know about the Scrambler version though, I've always like cafe' bikes anyway. Good to hear they sound like a fairly good outfit - and also telling that the kits aren't perfect either. I hope they can survive for awhile, I like re-purposing stuff and Lord knows there are a bunch of Suzuki Savages sitting around in garages with low mileage on them (never liked the Cruiser riding position myself either). I just hope some less-than-knowledgable rider doesn't decide to sue them after he stacks and decides it's all the fault of the funny rear brake or something.
Best luck on getting it Legit - sometimes it's must a matter of who you are dealing with, so if you first don't succeed, try another branch if you can.
Take care and I hope the deployment goes well, thank you for your service to the nation.

COLUMBIA — The University of South Carolina is warning students that an entertainment district near campus is not safe after midnight.
The warning Tuesday comes after a female student was shot and wounded last weekend.
The school did not tell its 31,000 students to stay away from the bars, restaurants and shops in the Five Points neighborhood in Columbia.
USC president Harris Pastides talked with city officials Tuesday about how to the make the area safer.
Pastides says USC students play a vital economic role for the Five Points area. But he said Tuesday the area is not safe for people after midnight.
Columbia police set up a substation in the district in May. Authorities also added patrols and surveillance cameras, and made a teen curfew permanent in 2011.

Child Custody and Visitation in Illinois
Going through a divorce when you have young children can be one of the most difficult and most stressful decisions for a family to make, not only for the parents, but for the children. With the guidance of a caring and experienced Chicago divorce lawyer, you and your family can find the best resolution for your custody and visitation situation.
In Illinois, the court can order either sole physical custody, or joint physical custody. Sole physical custody means that one parent would have the power to choose the child's residence, religious upbringing, and make health care decisions for the child. It does not mean that the other parent never sees the child; they can be granted visitation rights. Joint physical custody means that both parents are responsible for sharing important decisions in the child's life, as well as sharing time spent with the child.
With the help of a compassionate child custody attorney, custody agreements can be made between parents during a divorce. If the court is involved, their decision is based on several factors which are set up to determine which arrangement would be in the best interest of the child. Some things the court will take into consideration are:
- The relationship between each parent and each child
- The relationships between siblings
- The child's adjustment to changing homes, schools, and other activities in the community
- What the child wants
- What each parent wants
- Mental and physical health of any person in or close to the family
- Abuse, threats of violence or abuse
As long as it is safe for the child, the court will begin with the assumption that it is best for the child to have relationships with both parents and all siblings.
Visitation rights are determined if only one parent is granted physical custody rights, and include rules about all types of communication, including text messaging, video chats, phone calls, and physical visitation rights.
If you're currently going through a divorce in Illinois and need help with your child custody and/or visitation rights, it is in your best interest to contact a caring, experienced divorce attorney who will listen to you and fight for what is best for you and your child. The attorneys at the Mevorah Law Offices LLC offer a free initial consultation, and are available to help you in northern and central Illinois, including Chicago and its suburbs.

Last Summer in our Lil Wayne cover story he talked about how he was picking up the guitar and starting to sing. At this point, we've heard him do both and now finally—FINALLY—we have video of Lil Wayne touching a guitar. JOKES! But seriously dudes, by 2010 Lil Wayne will have an album out that consists entirely of vocoder and guitar and you will be calling him Levendra Waynehart.

Tubbie HeadHmmm. It's hard to describe, they're a bit of a mix of different genres, but not too rock n' roll... I would say they are an indie band... I love their acoustic stuff.

FREDERICK -- A 24-member advisory board composed of Army, state and local officials and county residents will meet today to review plans for further testing and cleanup of suspected contaminated areas at Fort Detrick.
The Fort Detrick Restoration Advisory Board received copies of the plan last month. It calls for more ground-water and soil testing and cleanup of "potentially hazardous areas," including Trench 11, where acids, chemicals and solvents were likely buried decades ago, said Norman M. Covert, a Fort Detrick spokesman.
