The Reds used 5 starters for every game save one this season. What the are odds that happens again?
Never have enough pitching. Keep 'em all, unless getting another starter back.
"Man, the pitch looks fast, even in slow motion." Thom Brennaman on Chapman's fastball.
you do not trade Cingrani or Corcino unless you are getting proven All star talent that is cheap....those 2 guys are the future of this club. you dont find guys with their make up to oftne..Cingrani might just be the guy who comes up mid to late season and carries this team off to the playoffs.....there is always a team that brings up that young stud late in the year that teams just havent seen and he usually does welll.....why cant Cingrani and Corcino be those guys....our starting 5 needs to be rested and who better to give them late year rest than 2 young studs? Guys, this team is shaping up to be a freaking powerhouse in the next few years.....we just need a few pieces to the puzzle and we are going to to go on a 3-5 year stretch like never seen before.
So in the last three posts, Cingrani/Corcino are called B prospects and also called near untouchables. That's RedsZone, an array of opinions.
I think Gregorius and one of Cingrani/Corcino with, say, Heisey, would bring a solid major league starting player back.
If the Reds add a veteran starter, say in free agency, I think Leake can get you a good prospect and a good major league bench player.
Stubbs, I find it hard to judge his value. Will a team see his potential, or will it see his current batting statistics? My guess is he isn't worth too much, he'll be viewed as all field no hit.
IMO, Rolen, Stubbs, Heisey, Cairo, and Valdez are the guys the Reds should replace this year. Rolen really can't hack another full MLB season. Stubbs is a K machine. Heisey is another righty hitter with power but bad plate discipline who keeps the team's OBP down. Cairo seems done, Valdez simply can't hit.
Add Frazier to the starting lineup, re-sign Ludwick, add a lefty CF who makes contact and walks some (Denard Span maybe), and beef up the bench with decent guys, lefties and righties, and you will have significantly upgraded the offense IMO.

Cingrani, Corcino and Gregorius have a lot of value. Young SP prospects proven at AA and a 22-yr old SS prospect who plays excellent defense with a pretty high offensive ceiling. A lot to like there for any team looking to build up their talent base.Three below-average major leaguers, and three B-level prospects. Who would want them?

"Baseball is a very, very complex business. It's more of a people business than most businesses." - Bob Castellini
I know there are many here who do a better job following the minor leagues. Is there any chance that Cozart is the one we should look to move and keep Gregorious? Would Cozart bring back more value?
Are they?
If the reds "are fully in win-now mode," then does it make sense to wait a year for Billy Hamilton? or would they be more inclined to deal him for what they need right now?
I mean...if you resign Ryan Ludwick then there really is only one slot left for a high on-base percentage leadoff hitter to play next year. He's got to play centerfield.
Do you put Billy Hamilton on the table in order to get your centerfielder for next year?
"Even a bad day at the ballpark beats the snot out of most other good days.

Just so you know it was Comic-Con-related illness, not mourning over Terry Bellefleur, that had me skipping this True Blood list last week. I'm also blaming my fever for the tears I shed over poor Terry. I'm fully onboard with the show's plan to trim the storyline fat, but is assassination the only answer? How about just fading gracefully into the background from whence they came? Anyway, I almost made every single WTF moment from this episode another image of Eric crying, but I restrained myself. Here are the top five:
1. Sobbing Eric. Yes, we saw him break down when Godric met the sun, but watching Eric weep with Nora's goo in his arms was downright devastating. I'm kind of afraid this is going to unhinge the Viking for good. Which is weird, considering we never heard of Nora before last season.

August 2014
It was a wonderful trip. Just long enough, not too long. Tip: if you are a party of four or more, try to sit opposite each other, half the cool fish scene is on the other side, so cover your bases.

|Criterion A
|Burndale is important in demonstrating the pattern of Queensland's history, in particular the settlement of agricultural reserves in the Darling Downs area.
|Criterion B
|As an example of an 1860s two-storeyed rural sandstone residence, Burndale demonstrates uncommon aspects of Queensland's heritage.
|Criterion D
|Further, Burndale demonstrates the principal characteristics of a sandstone house in the Warwick district.
|Criterion E
|Burndale exhibits particular aesthetic characteristics valued by the community, in particular its contribution to the landscape of the Swan Creek district.
|Criterion H
|Burndale has special association with the McGuckin and Cutmore families, both early European residents of the Swan Creek district.
|Burndale was built at Swan Creek, near Warwick, c1865 for Timothy Murphy and Peter McGuckin, early European occupants of the Swan Creek district. The Swan Creek district, situated about 11 klms from Warwick, was known as the Agricultural Reserve and comprised a tract of fertile country wedged in between extensive pastoral holdings. Early settlers arriving at Swan Creek during the 1860s were successful in having the district surveyed and offered for sale in agricultural farm areas. The land on which Burndale stands originally comprised 38 acres, and was selected under section 4 of the Agricultural Reserves Act 1863, the intent of which was to facilitate the acquisition of land for the purposes of agriculture. Burndale was erected with the aim of obtaining a license and conducting the premises as a hotel. This intention never materialised, and Burndale has always been used as a private residence. Burndale was constructed of locally quarried sandstone, carted by John Deveney of Yangan. McGuckin acquired the whole property and half the adjoining block in 1877. McGuckin was a keen horse racing enthusiast and established a racecourse on the property adjacent to his home. On race days the balcony of McGuckin's home which overlooked the racecourse, served as a grandstand for spectators to watch the racing events. On McGuckin's death in 1883, the property was transferred to Samuel Cutmore, with whom McGuckin had taken out a mortgage on the property in 1878. The Cutmore family was another of the early European families in the area. Cutmore took out a number of subsequent mortgages on the property until his death in 1915, when the property passed to his children. The property remained in the Cutmore family until 1974, when the property was acquired by Ian and Sarah McMaster, who changed the name of the property to Warrenilla. The present owners acquired the property in 1976, and it reverted to the former name of Burndale.
|Burndale is a two-storeyed sandstone house with timber verandahs and a corrugated iron roof. It dominates a gently undulating, sparsely treed landscape, rising above a cluster of immediately surrounding trees. It has a simple square-shaped plan, with verandahs on all sides, shaded by a curved corrugated iron awning. A pyramid roof rises above the awning, with substantial brick chimneys to the north and the south. The verandahs have been enclosed with weatherboard to part of the northern elevation, all of the western elevation, and most of the southern elevation. The verandah is supported with chamfered square posts with shaped brackets and battened valances. The unenclosed sections of the verandah have cast iron balustrades and valances. Grape vines grow around the base of the house, on wires strung between the verandah posts. The upper level has glazed timber french doors leading onto the verandah, the lower level has timber sliding sash windows and timber doors. The sandstone is square- snecked coursed, and has been recently repointed. The north-west corner of the house has a corrugated iron wash house incorporated into the base of a water tank on tall timber stumps. The garden contains many mature trees, including olive trees fruit trees, cypress pines and a she-oak. The building is an unusual example of a two-storeyed sandstone house, and the exterior is intact and in good condition. An internal inspection was not undertaken.

Thanks to the employees of several area FedEx locations the holidays got a lot brighter for the students at the Urban League Academy (ULA).
After hearing some of the heart-wrenching stories of the life tribulations for many of the students at the Minneapolis Contract Alternative school run by the Minneapolis Urban League, FedEx employees sprang into action. The employees showed up on Dec. 18 at the Urban League Academy, 2201 Blaisdell Ave. S., with a FedEx truckload of gifts for each of the 86 students enrolled at the school.

Ferguson; politically ... what's now, what's next
Monday, 29 December 2014 15:58
Harry Colbert, Jr.
A few days before Thanksgiving much of Ferguson, Mo. went up in flames, but the match that lit the torch was struck years before.
Even before the Aug. 9 slaying of 18-year-old, college-bound Michael Brown – the unarmed teen killed by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson – there was the toxic stench of systematic racism that permeated not only in Ferguson, but in most of north St. Louis County – an area with more than 20 separate municipalities. And for each municipality there is a police force that earns its city millions of dollars in revenue by stopping motorists (particularly Black motorists) at will. And the curiosity of most of these municipalities is while the residents are majority Black, the elected officials and police departments are overwhelmingly white. Ferguson Democratic Committeewoman Patricia Bynes is working to change that.

Just looking to get out and have some fun
Hi, my name is Tom. I moved to Phoenix about a two years ago from San Diego with just what I could fit in my car. I moved out here for my job, and that is where my focus has been for a while. I have worked hard to put myself in a good position, and now I'm looking to get out and meet some fun people, and hopefully spark up a relationship. Being from San Diego, I am a big Chargers fan and a bit of a Padres fan too. I love playing or watching just about any sport. I have played soccer my entire life, and play in a league twice a week. I try to go to the gym a couple times a week, but I'm definitely not a gym rat. I ran the Tough Mudder for the first time this year with some friends from work, and it was more fun, painful and exciting than I could have ever imagined. The whole atmosphere was positive, and I can't wait to do it again next year. I was a political science major and still enjoy keeping up on issues about government, economics and politics around the world. I am pretty open minded and like discussing politics or just about anything else, but I'm not the type of person that feels the need to push my opinions on others. I'm planning to head back to school to get my MBA within the next year or so, but for now, my career is going well, and I am happy with what I do. I really like cooking, and I think its a great way to get to know someone. II also like going to the movies, out to dinner, comedy show, baseball games, museums, or just exploring around town. I try to get out and go camping a couple times a year. I'm not a big fan of bars and clubs, but they can be fun now and then. I'm an easy going guy, looking for fun, driven girl that appreciates hard work, but also the value of just taking time to step back, relax, and enjoying life.

Prison Fitness Book Released On Kindle
Bodyweight exercise author John Barrett Hawkins is offering the Kindle e-book edition of Penitentiary Fitness free for three days only beginning Monday Febuary 4.
When the California Department of Corrections took away their weights, the inmates created an ingenious workout regimen using bodyweight exercises that enabled them to develop sleek, muscular physiques remarkably similar to those of Olympic gymnasts. Convicted felon John Barrett Hawkins recognized that people in the "real world" could benefit from these prison workouts and spent the next eight years writing Penitentiary Fitness: The Amazing Weight Loss Formula.
In the opening segment John Hawkins chronicles his descent form successful entrepreneur (at the age of 25 he owned 22 Just Sweats clothing stores) to insurance fraud schemer to prison inmate. However, this book is not about crime - it is about a back to basics approach to fitness and weight loss.
Despite his lack of a background in health care, Hawkins is convinced that he has discovered the most effective weight loss formula available today-and maybe he has. The book's recommendations are based on scientific discoveries made at the world's top medical schools and research laboratories. A chapter titled "Medical Science's 20 Fat Loss Secrets" is mandatory reading for anyone whose goal is to lose weight. Inspirational stories from followers of the program are sprinkled throughout the pages. The most successful participant, Daniel Durland, went from 296 pounds to 190 pounds in just five months.
"The convenience of the bodyweight exercises will be of value to people who do not have the time, money, or inclination to go to a gym," says Hawkins. "The book has 14 different prison workouts. It was created for men and women of all walks of life. Whether you are an overweight person who is just getting started or a bodybuilder seeking challenging new training techniques, Penitentiary Fitness has a workout that will match your current fitness level."
The book's foreword was written by Alan Londe, MD, Chief of Staff at Barnes Jewish West County Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri. He remarked, "Within the confines of a penitentiary, John Barrett Hawkins has written a book that gives direction to all of us who strive for health, using up-to-date scientific research and common sense methods acquired with limited resources."
Penitentiary Fitness is a 174-page book. It is available free on Kindle for one day only, Saturday, November 10.. Visit the author's web site HTTP://http://www.johnbarretthawkins.com to read free sample chapters.

This invention relates to a medical media file management system and method, and more particularly, to an improved system for generating, storing, retrieving and transmitting a plurality of medical data in a digital format, including but not limited to text, charts, still images, animation, graphics, video and audio, derivable from a variety of media image sources, such as computer data base files, hard copy print media, photographs, audio cassettes, video cameras, medical imaging equipment and medical monitoring equipment.
Medical imaging data, as derived from a variety of imaging modalities, is an essential component of health care and is often vital to properly assess a given patient's condition. In this regard, a number of complex imaging modalities are available which can generate digital images, including computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), digital X-ray, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, angiography, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Other images can be converted into digital form through the use of a film digitizer or scanner for images obtained by more traditional X-ray radiography such as chest X-rays or mammograms, images taken through endoscopes, and physiological monitoring systems including wave patterns recorded in cardiology EKGs and in fetal monitoring. Each of these modalities complement one another depending on the type of diagnosis or monitoring being undertaken, so the systems are often used in conjunction with each other. However, each of these image acquisition devices typically operate as stand-alone devices with relatively small local storage capacity. Each modality is usually designed for the acquisition and subsequent analysis of a specific type of data and the images produced are optimized for a particular medical procedure. Consequently, each modality generates images with different levels of resolution and cannot communicate with another modality's data, resulting in inefficient storage and poor correlation of diagnostic data. These obstacles can prevent the timely and accurate diagnosis of disease. Although it is typically possible to "export" the images from a proprietary radiology (imaging) modality workstation to an industry-standard format such as "Digital Imaging Communications in Medicine" (DICOM) 3.0, several limitations remain as discussed subsequently. In practice, viewing of radiology medical images typically requires a different proprietary "workstation" for each manufacturer and the manufacturer specific Picture Archival and Communications System (PACS) typically extends its use only for the viewing and diagnosis of the radiology-specific images. Even more archaic, and perhaps the more conventional practice is to bundle the various types of imaging data, such as developed X-ray films, ultrasound photographs, and the like, with the actual physical patient file.
Similarly, from a monitoring standpoint, breathing rate, heart rate, and blood-oxygen levels are also essential and can be recorded on an ongoing basis using patient monitoring equipment. Furthermore, monitoring data are generated during EKG tests, treadmill endurance tests, fetal monitoring during labor, sleep research on REM cycles or sleep apnea, and blood sugar level information from diabetes tests. Despite the ability to generate and store such information digitally, in standard practice much of the data is recorded on long strips of paper, which uses significant resources and becomes difficult and bulky to store in the patient files in paper form.
In addition to medical imaging and monitoring data that must be generated and stored, substantial patient data must also typically be collected and retained. Currently, during most hospital check in procedures, a patient may need to fill out numerous forms providing proof of identity and of insurance, as well as forms relating to medical history. While many medical facilities are moving toward computer records of the textual information, there is no efficient way to keep copies of photographs and other media files containing images pertinent to the patient file without actually pulling the paper file from the records office, which can be at a remote location. When a doctor or nurse conducts an interview of the patient, the notes are placed in the file. Although it is not current typical practice, an audio recording of the interview may be useful if there was a simple and efficient means for storing the audio information rather than dealing with loose bulky tapes in the patient file that could inadvertently become erased.
Further problematic is when the patient's primary physician orders tests to monitor the patient's physiological results, which in turn causes the admissions process to be repeated at the monitoring facility. Depending on the duration of the monitoring tests, limited sections of the patient's monitoring response are printed out and marked to highlight areas requiring attention and are folded into a file for the doctor to view at a later time. In cases with sleep studies or recovery from surgery, monitoring may be conducted for several hours or days.
If the patient's primary physician orders an imaging-based test to diagnose or assess disease, the admissions process is likewise repeated at the imaging facility. Typically days after the imaging procedure, the patient's primary physician receives a written report generated by a specialist physician who has interpreted the images but who is unlikely to understand the patient's clinical history and is unaware of any other test results. The patient's primary physician typically does not view the images directly but rather makes a treatment decision based entirely on written reports generated by one or more specialist physicians. The current process raises several limitations on efficient diagnosis and treatment of patients. The primary physician does not see the images unless they are printed to film or the doctor travels to another department and makes a request. Each proprietary modality workstation at a separate location requires training in how to use the software to view the images, and images from the same patient but different modalities cannot be viewed side-by-side, even using proprietary workstations. The primary physician cannot show the patient his/her images in the physician's office while explaining the diagnosis; and the patient cannot transport his/her images to another physician's office for a second opinion.
As if such practices were not already burdensome, recently implemented legislation has made the ability for hospitals and physicians to generate and assess patient information, and in particular, medical imaging data even more difficult. Specifically, The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996, signed into law on Aug. 21, 1996, sets forth numerous regulations related to the practice of medicine, particularly with respect to the handling of healthcare-related information, that are intended to reduce the administrative costs of healthcare. Essentially, HIPAA sets forth provisions related to the development and implementation of standardized electronic transactions and the implementation of privacy and security procedures to insure confidentiality and prevent the misuse of patient information. With respect to the former, namely, standardized transactions, the same are to be used no later than Oct. 16, 2003.
Among the many requirements set forth in HIPAA is that any medical practice that electronically sends or receives certain transactions must send and receive them in a standard format. Such transactions expressly include claims, remittance and payment advice, claims status, enrollment and dis-enrollment in a health plan, premium payments, eligibility inquiries and responses, referral certifications and authorization, coordination of benefits, first reports of injury, and claims attachments. In this regard, it is contemplated that a medical practice will be able to submit a claim for a patient, irrespective of the payor involved (e.g., insurance company, health maintenance organization, etc.). As a result, it is contemplated that all transactions will be standardized in nature, which will include the uniform use of codes typically associated with conventional billing practices, such as diagnosis codes (i.e., ICD-9-CM), procedure/service codes (CPT-4), drug codes (NDC), and other service codes (HCPCS), among others.
With respect to imaging data, however, particularly when generated and stored in physical patient files and not otherwise kept in a format that can facilitate the electronic transmission of data, is operative to defeat the entire legislative purpose behind HIPAA. Furthermore, it is practically impossible and cost-prohibitive to duplicate Radiology Film Storage when the Films are not in a Digital Format, thus making the task of HIPAA required back-ups and disaster recovery meaningless. Accordingly, there is a substantial need in the art for a medical media file management system and method that is operative to not only facilitate the collection, storage, retrieval and transmission of medical imaging data capable of being generated from a wide variety of imaging modalities, but further is operative to facilitate the collection, storage, retrieval and transmission of other types of patient data, such as digital photographs, scanned in images of patient identification and insurance information, and recorded audio (e.g., transcription) files, to thus enable all such information to be retained in an efficient digital format. There is further a need for such a system and method that can be readily integrated with virtually all types of medical imaging modalities, as well as conventional devices, such as digital cameras, that can enable all information derived thereby to be stored and retained in a digitized format. There is still likewise a need in the art for such a system and method that can be incorporated as part of an existing electronic medical record (EMR) which can thus greatly reduce the amount of physical storage associated with storing personal files, as well as facilitate the handling and exchange of patient information and transactions related thereto, especially in compliance with HIPAA. There is still further a need in the art for such a system and method that can be constructed utilizing existing technology, is of low cost, is exceptionally efficient and can be integrated into virtually all types of existing medical and hospital practices and procedures.
The present invention specifically addresses and alleviates the above-identified deficiencies in the art. In this regard, the present invention is directed to a Media Communications and Management System (MCMS) that is operative to serve as the basis of an enterprise-wide image, document, recording and file management facility for any healthcare provider. Various imaging modalities can be directly captured and linked to the patient record in the Hospital Information System (HIS) utilizing the industry standard HL/7 protocols. The imaging modalities may include CT, MR, Ultrasound, and radiography images and movies, and may also include other patient specific documentation such as photographs of the patient or copies of the patient's drivers license, Social Security Card, and insurance card. Additional media may also be stored including sound files from cardiac and fetal ultrasounds, voice recordings, and retinal scans.
The MCMS can be manipulated by a Mini-PACS Diagnostic Workstation and/or any Network attached Windows Workstation as a medical viewer workstation. The system may be used to convert medical information from a plurality of media formats in to an integrated format. The invention also relates to methods to manipulate digital medical media in such a way that multiple media modalities from multiple different vendors can be assembled into a single database without loss of diagnostic information. The MCMS can integrate non-conventional image/digital data, such as digital photographs and audio files, as part of a patient's digitized medical information, as well as data such as retinal scans and fingerprints, to thus enable a patient's medical information to be comprehensively collected, stored, retrieved and transferred.
These as well as other features of the present invention will become more apparent upon reference to the drawings.
The detailed description set forth below is intended as a description of the presently preferred embodiment of the invention, and is not intended to represent the only form in which the present invention may be constructed or utilized. The description sets forth the functions and sequences of steps for constructing and operating the invention. It is to be understood, however, that the same or equivalent functions and sequences may be accomplished by different embodiments and that they are also intended to be encompassed within the scope of the invention.
The present invention resides in an interface of medical media data storage, retrieval and communication components with the integration of media image and audio manipulation control mechanisms that enable a user of the system to both efficiently store multiple types of information from diverse media, and to rapidly access, copy, transmit and/or store any such stored media image for analysis. The structure, control and arrangement of these components and control mechanisms have been illustrated in the drawings that illustrate the systems and methods of the present invention.
Referring now to
The data flow from the various Radiology (Imaging) input components is directed via a communications link 43 to one or more system servers 44 having one or more databases associated therewith, including a Digital Imaging Communications in Medicine (DICOM) format caching server 46, a mail server 56, a fax server 60, all of which are linked to one or more information retrieval devices, such as a diagnostic workstation with mini-Picture Archiving and Communication System (mini-PACS) 50, a viewer workstation 48 connected through an Intranet connection 68 to a Hospital Information System (HIS) server 52 via HL/7 standards 54, a set of user files including office files and transcriptions 58, a store/archive management system 62, an Intranet/Internet connections 66, 68 to facilitate Web-based access. Conventional mail 70 and fax 72 capabilities are also integrated as part of the information distribution capabilities of the present invention.
The storage/archive management system 62, which stores and readily retrieves media files, is linked to a Storage System, which in turn is linked to an archive to facilitate back-ups and disaster recovery. It is likewise contemplated that such media files can be accessed by a personal computer or content requesting server via wireless and/or web access 64 through an Internet communications link 66.
In a preferred embodiment, the radiology imaging modalities have the DICOM format capability and are linked with an Intel based Server with either an attached or peripheral file storage capability. The MCMS software may consist of various applications and systems including DICOM Server, DICOM Viewer, Windows SQL 2000, Windows 2000 Server, and Storage Management. The network communications can follow a TCP/IP Network and DICOM 3.0 protocol. Optional interfaces include HL/7 to HIS/RIS and HL/7 to the various modality software systems.
The integration process uses modalities that are configured to capture consistent patient examination data. The modalities are configured to auto-send patient index and image files over the TCP/IP network to the Windows 2000/DICOM Server. The images are stored as individual files located on the file storage on the DICOM Server along with a Patient Record Index. The Patient Record Index will preferably consist of the following Data Elements: Physician Name, Patient Identification, Patient Name, date of birth, sex, examination type, image number, image date, modality, modality manufacturer, modality model, and the like. Images are accessed by any workstation with DICOM-based viewing software using any of the Patient Record Index data elements. In addition, for diagnostic viewing, images can be accessed from a Radiology Diagnostic work station with any third party diagnostic software. Image file management is controlled through storage management software based rules, which can be programmed to archive based on data elements, such as date of exam, calendar days or file size to optimize the cost of the overall storage media. The same architecture also forms the foundation for capture of other media including scanned documents. All the file elements are attached to the core patient management system to form the electronic information folder for the patient information.
In use, the MCMS 10 will be operative to provide a comprehensive database of digitally stored information that greatly facilitates the ability of medical information to be compiled, stored, retrieved and transferred. It is contemplated that through such system, a digital patient file can be created that can enable all pertinent information related to a patient that has not heretofore been capable of being digitized, and much less digitized from a variety of image modalities, to be compiled in a single retrievable file. For example, it is contemplated that a patient entering a hospital implementing the MCMS will be able to provide identification information and proof of insurance, such as through drivers licenses, Social Security card, insurance cards, and the like that can be scanned in, along with any other pertinent patient information. The MCMS will further be operative to allow further input of information during a patient examination, such as digital photographs, recorded patient interviews, recorded statements by the treating physician or other hospital staff, or any other information that may be pertinent to the treatment of a given patient, such as medical histories provided by relatives and/or in the case of accidents, statements from witnesses or law enforcement officials. Along these lines, it is contemplated that other data specific to the patient, such as finger prints and a generation of a retinal scan can be included within the patient's file to thus serve as a basis of identifying a particular individual. In this regard, such uniquely identifying features may be included as part of a database that can enable the medical records generated through the MCMS of the present invention to be readily accessed and forwarded to a hospital, physician or any other type of medical facility to thus provide a readily retrievable medical history for that specific individual.
In addition to the digitized information above, it is further contemplated that any and all imaging data as referenced herein may further be included as part of the patient's diagnosis. As discussed above, imaging modalities such as X-rays, ultrasound and the like can be digitized and stored within a patient's specific file. Advantageously, such process thus eliminates the need to store such image data, such as X-ray films and the like, that are known in the art to be costly, space inefficient and exceptionally difficult to archive and access. Moreover, by virtue of having the capability to store image data in a digitized format, the MCMS of the present invention is operative to uniformly store and make accessible image data irrespective of the type of image data that is warranted, whether CT, MRI, PET, EKG or Scanned Images, for example.
Due to the simplicity by which the compiled digitized information is compiled through the MCMS of the present invention, it is contemplated that the MCMS may either be operative to exist as either a stand alone electronic record (EMR) system or otherwise be incorporated as part of a conventional EMR system with HL/7-based interfaces to the HIS 52.
As is well-known in the art, a variety of commercial software products are available for generating electronic medical records, as well as facilitating electronic claims filing and other medical management tasks that, in addition to increasing the efficiency of conventional health care practices, further help ensure compliance with HIPAA regulations by enhancing the security associated with patient information and utilizing all applicable standard formats necessary to conduct and codify electronic transmissions. By complementing such systems with the ability to capture not only medical imaging data but other pertinent patient information, the MCMS of the present invention is operative to greatly enhance the capability of such conventional EMR systems to not only provide greater efficiency but also comply with HIPAA.
In a related application, it is contemplated that the MCMS will further be operative to facilitate the ability to create archives of patient histories that, as discussed above, can be readily accessed as necessary. To that end, it is contemplated that the MCMS of the present invention will be operative to create redundancy of patient information such that a patient's specific medical record can be stored in multiple archives and thus not be limited to a single patient file that can be subjected to damage or misplacement. In this respect, it is contemplated that once a sufficiently large database of patient files has been created, the same can be accessed as may be necessary in the event of natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism and the like to thus enable medical records for one or more patients to be readily accessed at a treating facility by simply accessing such information via the Internet. Accordingly, it should be understood that the MCMS of the present invention has wide spread application for use in not only facilitating the ability to generate, to store, retrieve and transmit medical information in a digital format, but as well as facilitate the ability of health care providers to have continuous access to patient information that is constantly kept up to date and is capable of being identified with a specific individual. Moreover, because of the digitized format by which the information is retained via the MCMS of the present invention, such information can be readily communicated via conventional communication lines, and especially the Internet, which thus provides an extremely efficient manner that such information can be readily accessed.
Additional modifications and improvements of the present invention may also be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art. Thus, the particular combination of parts and steps described and illustrated herein is intended to represent only certain embodiments of the present invention, and is not intended to serve as limitations of alternative devices and methods within the spirit and scope of the invention.

"I got this for Thank You cards after my daughters 2nd birthday party. They're pretty adorable. The paper is nice and thick but I was just ever so slightly disappointed with the photo quality. It's probably just the photo I chose or the fact that it's on this thick paper (it just wasn't as clear and smooth as I thought it might be). Overall, I thought it was a great card and would recommend."
"Although the card is gorgeous and the quality is outstanding when I ordered the card even though I checked for a designer review I received my card and noticed a misspelled word. Granted, I missed it, but so did they. I won't check the designer box anymore because it really doesn't do any good. Disappointed in the customer service/designer review."
"This card is very nice quality and printed/shipped to me very quickly. The only thing that would have made this better would be if I were able to pick the hair and/or eye color of the girl so it can be a bit more customized. I understand that would add to the production time however."
"I love this design because it rerminds me of a personalized had painted card. The design is simple and I love the coral color combination against the chalkboard background. The Default Fonts combine elegant script writing with the more casual fun print for the personlization. It enables this Thank You card to be used for fancy dinners or gifts, yet perfect for the more relaxed note of appreciation for barbeques or child's birthday presents. Perfect card stock ~ it is the quality of more expensive cards. The envelope is not flimsy and matches the class of the card."
"I wanted a full-bleed photo card to use as a thank you note and this was great. Instead of my kid's name, I was able to personalize the second line with 9 words. Tiny Prints makes it so easy to make it your own."

The Spurs lost Manu Ginobili for the remainder of their game against the Celtics on Saturday, though it looks like the San Antonio shooting guard could have prevented the injury. Ginobili suffered the left quad injury while flopping. The Spurs' guard leaned into a Chris Wilcox screen, and vaulted off the Celtics' center, careening to the ground. Ginobili stayed on the ground wincing until getting helped off the court. Typically, we'd give a player the benefit of the doubt on a play like this, but given Ginobili's floppy history, this injury is just as much on the Spur as Wilcox. Watch Ginobili's flop in the GIF below.

Corpus Christi police, code enforcement to ramp up presence around City Hall
CORPUS CHRISTI - Drug dealing on street corners, homeless people urinating on buildings and rundown properties are some of what residents and business owners around City Hall want enforced most.
Police and code enforcement officers intend to do that and make a big impression in the coming weeks, said Capt. David Cook, who will oversee the cleanup efforts. He outlined their plan alongside several city staff to about 20 residents and business owners who gathered Thursday evening in a basement conference room at City Hall.
"We have issues with what we used to call slum lords," Assistant Police Chief Mike Markle said. "We have issues with folks not cleaning up their property. We have homeless begging for food and money. We will not be turning a blind eye to that, but we are not going to do it in a way where it disrupts your life, but works with you."
The city began taking inventory of the neighborhood several weeks ago, putting together a map that shows active code enforcement cases and who owns the properties. Then police began serving arrest warrants for people they saw selling drugs. They have 13 people on that list and intend to continue building cases to start reversing the area's reputation as a haven for crime.
It's the second organized city cleanup effort, dubbed Operation Proud Partnership, in the past two months. Assistant City Manager Troy Riggs spearheaded the program with hopes to restore trust and pride within the community.
The first one started in the city's Washington-Coles and Hillcrest neighborhoods on the Northside.
A Leopard Street business owner asked Thursday how the area had reached the point of blight and neglect, and what the city would do to sustain their recent efforts.
Cook said there are several homeless outreach organizations surrounding City Hall that feed, clothe and shelter the homeless. It's a place droves of homeless people tend to congregate at all hours of the day because of those services. Police are working with those organizations, but intend to enforce a zero-tolerance policy for loitering, public intoxication, open container violations and criminal trespassing to deal with the problem. That's where they asked residents and business owners for help reporting crimes they see.
"We understand there are people that need help and need to be helped," Cook said. "We understand that those people that have problems will create problems in the community."
Business owner Darlene Gregory, who revitalized a building at the corner of Waco and Leopard streets, suggested the city apply for an energy grant to light up a utility easement where people congregate to do drugs. The easement between Mexico and Mestina streets is a known problem for police and code enforcement, they said.
Neighborhood resident Louis P. Soto, who has lived in Corpus Christi most of his life, wondered why police didn't do what a former sheriff used to do — round up the homeless, cut their hair and drive them out of town.
"You're spoiling those people," he said. "Any dog you give something to eat, is going to be hanging out."
After the meeting ended, several who attended made their way outside City Hall to their vehicles. There about 30 people gathered, lining up to the window of a white delivery truck where volunteers with Body of Christ Street Ministry handed out blankets, socks and sandwiches. A man standing in line said he wasn't sure what was going on, but came over to find out more.
"They're here every Thursday," another man said.

In this Season One bonus round, titled "Replacement Math," puzzle guru Art Chung challenges contestants to solve simple arithmetic problems using numbers found in pop culture.

RONDA STORMS ANNOUNCES HER RESIGNATION FROM COUNTY COMMISSION TO RUN FOR SENATE-Andrew Stelzer
Hillsborough county commissioner Ronda Storms made official her resignation from the county commission today. It wont be effective until November 7th, the day which she may take office in the state senate. Storms held a press conference outside the Hillsborough county supervisor of elections office, to announce her resignation, and answer questions about her upcoming campaign. WMNFs Andrew Stelzer was there and filed this report.
ACT ââ¬ÅBesides being a mother and a wife to my husband, it has truly been an honor and a priviledge serving the citizens of District four as their County Commissioner, and I look forward to continuing my service in another capacity.ââ¬?
Despite becoming the target of scorn by many Hillsborough county residents because of her anti-gay and socially conservative remarks and policies, Ronda Storms has consistent support in her east Hillsborough county commission district. She qualified for the November state Senate ballott by petition, collecting what she says was over 3,000 signatures, 400 greater than the number required.
ACT ââ¬ÅI am the only candidate in this race that qualified by signatures. One of my opponents tried and failed, and the other opponent failed to try..ââ¬?
Storms said her candidacy has been certified in Hillsborough, Pasco, and Polkââ¬â the 3 counties which are part of state senate District 10, which stretches from beyond Zephyrhills in the north, east to Lakeland, west past Brandon, and south past Ruskin to the Manatee county line. She says the main issues she hopes to campaign on are personal safety, taxation and growth and development.
ACT ââ¬ÅThereââ¬â¢s a reason why some of the development community ran candidates against me, ran literature against me and said we need to have a voice for development on the county comissioner and targeted me. There's a reason why the development community is glad that Ronda Storms will be off the county commission. There's a reason for that. I've held growth and development accountable for concurrency, for making sure stormwater projects are designed to do what they say that they're going to do, and then actually function how they say they're going to do it.ââ¬?
Storms said she is unmatched in her advocacy for the protection of children and their innocence, but sheââ¬â¢s even more proud of the stand she took as a Tampa port authority board member against foreign management of American ports.
ACT ââ¬ÅI was the only port commisioner who raised the banner and sounded the alarm on foreign interest and terminal operators. That was a hard decision. I mean, I love the President, but I disagreed with the President on foreign, on terminal operators and so I think that that says, you know what- here is a woman who will have the courage of her conviction and stand up and recognize the national debate, before the national debate is actually happening.
District 10, currently represented by Tom Lee, has a large amount of overlap with her current county seat, which Storms said will serve her well, as the voters who know her, support her. Even still, she said sheââ¬â¢s confident that the new pool of voters she has to campaign to will not be put off by her reputation as a closed-minded person.
ACT ââ¬Å85% of my county commmission seat is the senate district. I think that the voters know me, and here's what I get. People will say to me, Ronda, if they don't agree with me this is what they say- Ronda, I don't agree with you on a lot of issues, but here's what I do appreciate. You speak your mind, and I know that you're speaking the truth. I know that you're saying what you really believe and not what somebody has told you, and I know that if we're going to be on opposite ends, at least you're going to fight fair, and at least you're going to tell us what you really believe, and so I think that's a valuable characteristic.ââ¬?
All the same, Storms acknowledged that her strong personality has been a strength as well as a weakness.
ACT ââ¬ÅI think that my greatest strength is that I speak my mind and I speak it with the courage of my conviction. That also happens to be, as you might guess, my greatest weakness. (laughs) Sometimes I say things that I shouldn't say, and I say it too hard, and I wish that I wouldn't do that. I hope that I've learned as a public servant; I hope that I've tempered that some. I think I'm a better woman than when I started in that regard, but I still do make mistakes. Those would be my greatest regrets. ââ¬?
Storms resignation from the county commission wont take effect until November 7th the day of the general election, and the day she would officially take office, if she is elected. Storms was asked whether she would be able to effectively serve on the county commission at the same time she campaigning for Senate.
ACT ââ¬ÅI officially got into the race in January; we have statistics at the Board of County Commissioners my productivity has not declined. In fact we are as productive as we ever have been. We are doing everything that we know to do as a county commissioner, being faithful to my job as a county commissioner and still running as a senate candidate. There are lots of criticisms you can have of me as a county commissioner. I am not a perfect person as a public servant, there is no question about that, but you can't say I'm not productive. You can't say I'm not a hard worker, and my work ethic is unmatched in this race.ââ¬?
July 17th is the last day to qualify for the state senate race; Storms was required by law to submit her resignation 10 days before that date. Storms did not mention her opponents by name, but said she believes she already has the publics support over her two republican challengers, Sandra Murman and Ray young.
ACT ââ¬ÅPeople who know tell me that all the polls show me in the double digits lead, and that my opponents, even my opponents' internal polling, put them in the low teens.ââ¬?
The two other candidates for District 10 are Democrat Stephen Gorham, and write in candidate Victoria Brake. One reporter asked Storms about the press release sent out by Hillsborough county staff Wednesday afternoon announcing the press conference, and whether that was an improper use of county resources.
ACT ââ¬ÅOkay, so this is the last question. (Reporer asks)Why did the communicatins office put out your press release for this event, which feels like a campaign event to me? (Storms answers)Right, right- because it's a resignation of from my county commision seat. (Reporter says) It still feels like a campaign event.(Storms answers)Okay. Sorry about that- can't help how you feel..there's therapy for that..ââ¬?
The primary election will be on September 5th. The general election is on November 7th. Ronda Storms campaign website is www.rondastorms.com

Czech President Proposes One-Year Solar Tax, Hospodarske Says
Dec. 3 (Bloomberg) -- Czech President Vaclav Klaus proposed taxing solar power producers for only next year instead of for three years as planned by the government, Hospodarske Noviny reported, citing the president.
The proposal should limit the danger of arbitration procedures against the government, the newspaper said. Klaus's proposal is not welcome by the government as it would increase household electricity prices next year, according to the report.

On Tap Today: Getting Time Before Giving Thanks
Tomorrow will be a busy day for many of us. There will be building-sized balloons in the shapes of cartoon charachters to ogle on TV, giblet gravy to get right, state lines to cross, backyard football games to play, naps to take and plenty to be thankful for.
Today, on the other hand, might be a good opportunity for a breath, some down time before the festive times begin. If you are up early, why not an early morning bird walk in Washington Park or a nature hike in Franklin? »Read Full Blog Post

Watch out T-Swizzle, Madonna's got besties, too.
Is it still making out if only one person is into it?
The new music video, directed by Jonas Åkerlund, features Terrence Howard
And Madonna chimes in: 'Think before you speak'
Reclaiming Madonna's most mature music video message
We must love Madge. Taking a look at the Queen of Pop's rocky reign at the box office.
How Madonna perfected an art form
A year before her first album, an unknown Madonna invited Richard Corman to photograph her in and around her New York City walk-up. The pictures he took that day, published here for the first time, capture the energy and vitality of a woman destined to become a legend.
It's been more than 30 years since Madonna released Like a Virgin, and its notoriety as an album of frank female sexual expression remains unabated.
