Residents evacuated after truck crashes
PORT DEPPOSIT, Md. (WMAR) - Residents of a local condominium complex have been displaced after propane tanker crashed into their building today.
Police say at about 1:00 p.m. a tractor trailer carrying 9,000 gallons of propane missed it's turn onto I-95 and continued driving on Center Street into the town of Port Deposit. As the truck was coming down a steep incline the driver reported he lost the control of his brakes.
As the truck barreled down a steep incline and crossed over the railroad tracks the truck flipped onto it's side and crashed into the building, pinning the driver inside.
It took rescue crews about 2 hours to extricate the driver from the truck. He was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries. There were no other reports of any injuries.
Crews were able to stabilize a small leak in the truck's cargo area.
At this time crews are awaiting another truck to get to the scene and transfer the propane out of the damaged truck. Then the truck should be removed from the building, but this may take more than 24 hours.
Residents have been evacuated from all of the surrounding buildings, but officials say some will be allowed back in. Those residents living in the building that was hit by the truck are not expected to be allowed back in for a couple of days.
Building inspectors will also check to see if the building is structurally sound once the truck is removed.

Introducing..... K.C. Taylor.
K.C. Taylor lives in California. She has been a sci-fi and fantasy lover from birth (she attended a showing of "Star Wars: A New Hope" while still in the womb), and writing since 2005.
K.C. Taylor is the paranormal/fantasy pen name of author Carla Krae.
Carla Krae lives in California with two crazy cats and a tech guy. Debuting in 2011, Carla is the author of the popular "My Once and Future Love" series. When she isn't writing love stories, she likes to dabble in fantasy.
I'll be moving The Unsuspecting Bride and The Art of Healing Heroes to a new pen name!
To make a long story short, keeping everything I write under one "Carla Krae" umbrella is confusing to the 'brand' I want to portray with this name. So, I hope you'll support the new name. I'm setting up things this week and stuff will change soon.
Thanks. K.C. Taylor can be found here.

Love all of these hairstyles!ReplyDelete
I am forever stuck in my loose waves + ombre, I have had this style for 3 years and I can't kick it ;)ReplyDelete
I am right there with Steph. I love my loose waves...but I am loving all things braided. I just haven't been brave enough to try any of them! XoXoReplyDelete
Ooo these are fabulous. I've been going through a bit of a hair moment right now too! I want to chop it, I don't, I want it sleek straight, then I change my mind... Lol - of course the braided one kind of gives the illusion of shorter hair without the commitment so that's a fun option!!! xoReplyDelete
There are so many adorable up do hairstyles and the accessories to add are limitless if you need a change and think about cutting your hair. I have always regretted my impulsiveness in the past running to the beauty shop cutting my hair (which takes years to grow out) or getting a color or a style like a celebrity, which only looked great on them! Your hair is beautiful, I am sure there are many people that wish they had your hair, I do!ReplyDelete
I really really really want to learn how to do the milk braid! Its adorable!ReplyDelete
Hope you've had a great weekend!
I am all over those milk maid braids! I have been waiting for a few of my layers to grow out so I can finally rock that look without looking like a nut case hahaReplyDelete
xo SideSmile,
SideSmile Style
Loving Rihanna's ombre look and Nicole Ritchie's simple waves and bangs combo. My theory on hair is that as you get older your hair tends to look less healthy/pretty/full, etc. So rock long hair while you're young.ReplyDelete
wish i could do my hair like the loose waves + ombre! gorgeous locks! xReplyDelete
& Pretty Things
I love all those hairstyles! I wish I could do my hair like that, but its way to thin :( They are all adorable though, great post!ReplyDelete
oh I need to learn how to do fancy hair on myself. this stress bun I am rocking at my desk isnt exactly working.ReplyDelete
would love to master that sidebraid/low bun look.... my hair is so long that i would actually probably work! thanks for the inspiration!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the review :)ReplyDelete
Much love,

| Spy for Al Kharid and daughter of Osman
Leela is a spy and the daughter of Osman, head spymaster of Al Kharid. She can be found just north of The Skulls Headquarters (the old jail) in Draynor Village and features heavily in Stolen Hearts, Diamond in the Rough and Missing My Mummy. It is implied in Missing My Mummy that Osman and Leela are descendants of Pharaoh Senliten. Only one of her descendants or someone working for them can avoid the curse of her tomb.
When Senliten is fully restored and Dealing with Scabaras is completed it is possible to travel with Leela to Senliten and have a talk with them. This is a requirement to start Do No Evil.
- She received a graphic update on 19 May 2009 along with non-player characters Ali Morrisane and Reldo Trimmly, when Missing My Mummy was released. All three feature in the quest. She received yet another with the release of the Stolen Hearts and Diamond in the Rough quests. Before the graphic update, she used to wear a tiara and when talking, her chathead animation made her look like she was tired.
- According to Ozan, he met Leela when they were younger, starting a series of events that lead to his exile from Al-Kharid.
- There is currently a glitch, where if you took Leela to Senliten's tomb before some of the new quests, such as Diamond in the Rough, in the quest log, it will not count towards the requirements for Do No Evil.

No, we all agree that regardless of they style or our experience, it isn't fighting Tai Chi.
5th Degree regardless of style is a high rank. All the problems that have been mentioned are basic things you learn in even McDojo Tai Chi. You do not learn these in health, wushu, or larping Tai Chi. Sadly, this is about the most static and poor Tai Chi I have seen.
The discussion helps the Tai Chi noob understand why the degree claims are questionable.
(bolding mine)
My principal studies included Cheng Man Ching short form, traditional classical Yang style long form, fixed step and moving step push hands (or Tui Shou), Da Lu, San Shou, and Chi kung (or Qi Gong), as taught to my teacher by John Kells, William C Chen, Chu Gin Soon and Gia Fu Feng. I also learned Cheng Ting Hua style Ba Gua Zhang, an advanced Taoist martial art (developed specifically for use by professional bodyguards), as taught to my teacher by Rose Li.
Style: Cheng Man Ching Taijiquan--

Deciding to be parent for the first time, or again, is a big step. There are a lot of changes and adjustments for you to think about. This page is a starting point to explore some questions about parenting.
If this will be your first parenting experience, new skills are going to be on your "To Do" list - managing sleeping, crying, feeding of a newborn. Many parenting websites, health centres, chemists, books, and friends are available to research this topic. Some regard these skills as coming "naturally" - most new parents will tell you that they feel like they have launched into a steep learning curve.
What are your expections of becoming a parent? This is a role with lots of values, stereotypes, assumptions and history attached.
What kind of "mother" will you be?
If you draw a cartoon of yourself as a parent, what would it be like?
How will you get through the day, and the night?
What will a typical day look like?
Where will you be living and who will be there?
How are you going to parent together with other people?
Do you and your partner think in the same way about parenting? Have you talked about it?
How will your family support you with parenting or take on parenting roles? Have you talked to them?
How will you share the work of looking after a child with others?
How will you talk about things when you disagree?
The Raising Children website has a load of information on parenting.
Two Homes is a very detailed website about managing separated parenting.
Single Mums is a special resource for women raising a child alone.

The neon sign of a cross with the words "Jesus Saves" has glowed from the tower of the Gospel Chapel at 2500 Roosevelt Road for decades.
After being broken for about a year, it was recently repaired and revamped by the church. The sign has been altered to relay a slightly different, but meaningful message.
To honor Christianity's Jewish roots, the sign now reads "Yahushua Delivers."
"We're looking at our Hebrew side of belief and ultimately we've all come from a Jewish Messiah, who had Jewish belief and a Jewish life," explained the Rev. Buddy Barker, pastor. "He said he didn't come to destroy or do away or put an end to any of the Jewish word that was in existence at his time, but rather to bring it to fulfillment."
"So we have been endeavoring to seek out our Jewish roots as a Gentile believing church," Barker said.
Barker has led the church that his parents Charles and Ila Barker founded there about 1967 for two tenures totaling 21 years.
Questions from the public about the sign's alteration have given Barker an opportunity to share the reasons behind the change.
"Looking for truth is the reason we changed the sign. We want to speak truth to people," Barker said.
Gospel Chapel uses the Hallelu Yah Scriptures exclusively for its teachings, which are texts translated from Hebrew into English.
Hallelu Yah Scriptures uses the original names of those named in the Bible.
Yahushua is Jesus' original Jewish name. After researching and studying the issue, Barker said, the congregation decided to use this spelling of the name.
"There are many variations of that (Hebrew) name; at least four that I know of," Barker said. "The full name of Yahushua is the most proper."
The problem, he says, is the Bible's translation from Hebrew into Greek, from Greek into Latin, from Latin into English.
In the Hebrew language there is no letter "J," Barker said, and "Hallelu Yah" can be translated into English as "you praise Yah."
Basic tenets of the church's doctrinal followings, including belief in the Trinity, follow mainline Protestant denominations, but the use the Hebrew terms of Yahweh, Yahushua and Rua Ha Qodesh.
Swapping out the word "saves" for the word "delivers" on the sign also bears special meaning and also comes from the teachings of the Hallelu Yah Scriptures.
It refers to Yahushua — Jesus delivering mankind in perpetual deliverance.
"It is continual, in a moment by moment I am ever being saved," Barker said. "He is saving me in an overflowing continuous salvation. We are being delivered continuously."
For Barker, who was raised in the conventional full gospel belief all of his life, looking at the scriptures in this way has been enlightening.
"All of my life, I always felt like there was something missing, and now I've come to understand the Hebrew side of our Messiah, the Hebrew side of our scriptures and the word, the Hebrew side of the thinking, I find that the thing that was missing has been supplied.
"While I did have belief with all my heart, the portions of the word I used to struggle with have been made clear."

Full detailed profile on Destiny Evans (Past) Played by Shenell Edmonds on One Life To Live Daytime Soap Opera.
Shenell Edmonds
Birthday: April 26 1994
Back at the hospital, Bo and Nora continue trying to put the pieces together leading up to Matthew fainting. They remember Matthew saying if he didn't confess, someone would turn him in. Destiny appears, rambles on that Matthew has to be okay and admits, "We've gotten as close as two people can get." Before she's forced to explain to Bo and Nora, Destiny leaves to take a call from Dani. The nurse appears. Matthew's out of surgery.
At the loft, Matthew puts ice on his head. Destiny arrives and informs that Clint confessed. He hears Dani knows and says, "That must be how…" Matthew grabs his head in pain. Destiny gets Matthew some aspirin and talks about him being off the hook. He tries to tell her something, but Destiny urges Matthew to get some rest and leaves. Bo and Nora return. As they argue over letting Clint confess, Matthew admits someone else knows the truth then collapses.
Destiny finds Dani outside of Nate's apartment. Clint's confessed. Destiny begs Dani never to tell Nate the truth. Inside, Nate tells Deanna no matter what Clint's confessed, Matthew Buchanan killed his father. Nate explains how he confronted Matthew, with a punch. Nate wants Matthew to pay for letting him and his mom take the fall. Nate wants to go find Dani and opens the door to leave. He sees Destiny and Dani. Nate brings up Clint's confession. Dani acts as though she knows nothing different.
In Angels Square, Destiny finally confirms that Matthew killed Eddie but begs Dani to stay quiet. From the shadows, Nate overhears their exchange. Dani can't keep this from Nate. "He hates Matthew," Destiny cries. "There's no telling what he'd do." Nate takes off unseen. After Dani hears about all of the people who know the truth, she thinks it's only a matter of time before Nate finds out.
Destiny and Matthew discuss Marty as they walk through Angels Square. Destiny's glad Matthew was with her. They kiss. After Matthew leaves, Dani appears and admits she saw Destiny kissing Matthew. Destiny confirms things are different now. She and Matthew had sex. Dani is stunned and wonders how it happened. Destiny doesn't want to discuss it. Dani briefly talks about being mad at Nate then pushes Destiny for answers. Destiny admits Matthew's been really upset and needed someone to understand him.
Blanca runs into Destiny and Dani in Angels Square. She thanks Destiny for the biggest story of her life. Dani's confused and wonders what the reporter is talking about. "The killer is Matthew Buchanan," Blanca says, referring to Eddie Ford. Dani's mouth drops. Destiny begs Blanca not to go public. Blanca gets a call from Clint, who asks for help in getting Liam back. Blanca leaves. Dani assures Destiny no one will believe Blanca's lies then gasps, "Oh my God, Matthew killed Nate's dad?"
Matthew stops Destiny in Angels Square. Why has she been avoiding him since they were last together? Destiny tries to walk away and runs straight into Marty. As Matthew asks about the baby Marty's holding, Destiny picks up the gun that's fallen from Marty's purse. Marty grabs the gun and aims at the kids. Matthew steps in front of Destiny. When Brody calls out Marty's name, Marty takes off. Brody appears, full of blood, and manages to call 911.
John runs into Brody, Destiny and Matthew in the hallway. They explain how Marty was out of her mind crazy. She took off with Brody's gun and Liam. John suggests they keep the news about Liam from Natalie for now and says to Brody, "Whatever you decide I'll back you up." Alone, Destiny rants at Matthew for stepping in front of the gun. He was only trying to protect her. He asks about her avoidance and reminds her they had sex. "You did what?" Shaun asks from behind them. Destiny claims Matthew and his girlfriend had sex, which deters Shaun, who leaves. Matthew makes it clear how much their time together meant to him.
At the loft, Destiny cries to Matthew how Blanca got the idea from her that he killed Eddie. Blanca's going to go public. Matthew doesn't blame Destiny and admits it's true. He killed Eddie Ford. Destiny comforts Matthew, as he explains how everything happened. Matthew doesn't want sympathy. He's a coward. Destiny wishes Matthew would've trusted her with his secret. She won't tell anyone. She holds Matthew close and promises never to leave him. Matthew kisses Destiny then leads her to his bedroom.
A reporter, Blanca, enters the diner, sees Destiny and acts as though she's going to print that Nora killed Eddie. Destiny confronts her and insists Nora is innocent. Blanca sweet-talks Destiny into helping her find the real killer. Destiny spills the beans about how Matthew thought Nora was sleeping with Eddie, which leads Blanca to suggest that Matthew shot Eddie. "Are you crazy?" Destiny snaps. Matthew wasn't near the Minute Man Motel. He drove around all night after seeing Bo with Inez. Blanca thinks Matthew could've made a pit-stop at the motel. She infuriates Destiny by saying, "I'm running with the story."

"Lost" star Matthew Fox is a big liarFriday, January 12th, 2007
Lost star Matthew Fox says that he's a big liar, manipulator and he loves to take his clothes off (in public). Got your interest yet? Read on:
Matthew Fox, who plays the heroic Dr. Jack Shephard on ABC's castaway drama Lost, has a dark side.
"I'm a liar and a cheat and a thief and the ultimate manipulator. … I tell lies every day, man," the 40-year-old actor says in the February issue of Men's Journal magazine. "And when I say I'm phenomenally manipulative, I am."
Fox, who is now starring opposite Matthew McConaughey in We Are Marshall, a Warner Bros. Pictures release, says he "can be unapologetically vicious" and is "absolutely an instigator."
"I really enjoy social boozing, and what I enjoy about it is when people I know and care about say and do things they normally wouldn't say or do," he tells the magazine. "To make that happen I'll instigate anything."
Fox also enjoys skinny-dipping, something he does, he says, because he's comfortable in the nude.

It's not clear yet what caused the metal to protrude. If someone feels they have a claim against ODOT they can file it with the Ohio Court of Claims. It would then have to be investigated.
neoobserver, you're right. It should be finite, not infinite . . . At least it's nice to know someone read that far into the story.
The story does say the FBI and Better Business Bureau have been warning people of such scams for nearly a decade.

Here are some numbers for you. The United States currently spends about 17% of its gross domestic product (GDP) on health care. About 95% of that money comprises what we call "pooled money," which means that by and large, any mismanagement of funds in the system is being shared by all those who pay taxes and insurance policy premiums. More accurately, money waste in health care is being passed on to our children.
First let's looks this 17% of GDP figure. Perhaps you're thinking that this seems like an appropriate amount for a prosperous nation to spend on its health care. Wrong. No matter how good it is, health care will always be a supportive service, not an economic engine, which means we must always keep this massive expenditure in check. You can't spend all of your money on health care because then nothing is actually generating anything. You need to have a product that you either build or sell or invent.
Some people counter that those health care dollars are mostly spend domestically. But the point is, it's spent, and then I as an individual don't get to spend it and its productive capacity has been lost. The Singaporese spend about 5% of their GDP on health care and have greater longevity and better infant mortality. If we had that expenditure we would actually have a budget surplus. We could pay against the debt.
The next issue is the pooled money. If health care is going to operate largely out of pooled resources, we must get a handle on how our money is being spent, and where it's falling through the cracks. Below I'm going to talk about nine ways that we could save millions in health care, in areas that no one wants to touch.
#1 The EMS Mess
#2 Take Services Off the Table!
#3 Let Them Die in Peace
#4 Stop the Unnecessary Testing
You hear all of these nit-wits complain about their Press-Gainey scores; I have good Press-Gainey scores. I can convince a patient of anything. I say, "If it was me…", or, "If it was my child, this is what I would do." If you do it that way, if you truly empathize and communicate clearly, your Press-Gainey scores will be just fine.
The average emergency physician spends between 12 and 15 times their annual salary on testing. That number has been looked at several times. As soon as you order that CT on a basic headache, what have you done to that visit? The EP got something like $68 for seeing the patient. Now there's $1000 that just went down the drain on a patient whose odds of having it be a benefit are small. Not to mention the fact that the federal government this year will spend more money on EKG overreads than it does on emergency department visits.
#5 Quit Jumping on the Bandwagon!
I review for five journals. Our journals tend to only print positive results. We never print negative results. Here's something that needs to be done in this country. We need to have a registry of studies so that everything that is eventually going to be published has been registered. That way, if there's a negative trial and it's withdrawn, you have to account for that one too. The problem is that we don't even know what we don't know. You can always cherry pick a study to give you what you want. That's not science.
#6 Take an Honest Look at Cost vs. Benefit
#7 Show SOMEONE the Money!
#8 ICU Misuse
#9 One Word: Workforce
Furthermore, I think there needs to be a progression of jobs. It would be great if we could take EMTs, not overtrain them, and then after five years or so, transition them into in-hospital techs. When you think about it, EMTs is a young person's job. You don't want to be cutting people out of cars at age 60. I can barely get in my car at age 60!
Finally, Most routine care situations don't need a doctor. The best example is pediatrics. We're one vaccination away from wondering why we even train pediatricians at all. Most of that care is book-keeping. Did you show up? How are you progressing? And then, knowing when to do intervention on real problems. And, there's certainly all kinds of care being given out at nursing home type facilities which we need a different kind of provider for.
What do we think the society owes the individual, and what does the individual owe the society? I think that the individual owes the society something which no one wants to talk about, and that is a time to die. At a certain point in time, you can't afford to do everything for everybody. No western democracy has succeeded in its health plan without grappling with this most basic of questions.
The silver lining to all of this doom and gloom? Take pride in the fact that you, an emergency physician, occupy perhaps 1.8 to 2.2 of the health care dollar of the United States, and it's the best 2.2% this country ever got. When you look at it, we're useful!
Greg Henry, MD, is the founder and CEO of Medical Practice Risk Assessment, Inc. Dr. Henry is a past president of ACEP and directed an emergency department for 21 years. Dr. Henry has had an interest in economic issues for over 30 years.
# 2008-09-03 19:29
Very good work Dr Henry. You are entirely correct.
Other big costs you left out:
The cost of health insurance company profits - including the costs to individual providers of having to get the paperwork done to bill the insurance companies.
The costs of overregulation. I understood, when I was chairman of my department 15 years ago, that the cost of JCAHO prep was an average of $100,000/year per hospital in the country. I suspect it is more now. Is there ANY evidence at all that being JACHO ready improves outcomes? Other quasi and actual government regs seem to push us into a costlier use of resources. I know, if I were an office doc, I wouldn't accept medicare and medicaid due to the regs. This pushes patients toward the expensive ED, increasing costs.
Speaking of end of life care; what about dialysis on debilitated, demented, very elderly patients. I see a lot of them in my ED, frequently, and wonder at that cost.
Speaking of workforce issues; why can't we use the out of the military corpsmen as anything but low level techs. Seems to be a GROSS waste of a trained and experienced resource.
# #10 End First-Dollar Coverage — 2008-09-03 21:13
A woman came to my ED by ambulance for 2 weeks of chapped lips. Although I work in a Level 1 Trauma Center, I would guess fully a quarter of the patients I see do not need to see any provider in any setting. A nurse over the phone would do just fine. Although not dialysis for the vegetative, the aggregate cost of this overuse has to be a more than an insignificant slice of the health care pie. But without liability reform to protect the advisor and pain at the pump (i.e. everybody paying SOMETHING), I see no end to it.
Dr. Henry, I'm very heartened by your comments which I agree with 100% However, I feel we are in an ever decreasing minority. I think I'm the only person in my department that considers cost when working up a patient. In fact, I've felt pressure to do more test to be on par with the majority. How do we counter this prevasive wave of wastefulness? Does anyone remember when they put the cost of lab test on Part 3 of the medical license exam, and you were penalized if you spend too much money? How do we get that mentality back!
I,too, fully agree with Dr. Henry's comments.
I would emphasize the point about nursing roles and add that there is a very real potential for a nursing shortage crisis by 2020. Part of the problem is that nursing education seems to be unwilling to recognize this and many qualified applicants are delayed, if not refused, entry to nursing school. The average nursing faculty age is 55 (so they are close to retirement) and nurses must have at least a master's degree in nursing to teach. Nursing education needs a reexamination.
In the meantime, we should be busy developing alternatives to nursing in hospital settings.
Another contributor to large costs is the hospital industry building new, hotel-like facilities and wanting to be everything to everyone. We have beautiful new hospital monuments that want to be Trauma Centers, Stroke Centers, Chest Pain Centers, Cancer Centers, Pediatric Centers, etc.etc. - just down the street from another place that wants the same as well.
But the problem with this is, in addition to being wasteful of money and resources, that we simply are not graduating the medical specialists to support all these tertiary centers. This is part of the reason we currently see specialty shortages on our call panels now.
In order to actually accomplish anything meaningful in curbing healthcare spending, every stakeholder has to accept something less than they are currently receiving. That is what has occurred in other countries.
And this concept is a very tough sell in America, since we have live in a society that wants more, more, more. It will take real sacrifice and real political leadership to make some of these changes.
So, I am not very optimistic.

I nominate Dr Henry to be our first Medicine Czar My Friends or is that too much Hope and Change to expect?
# Some additional thoughts — 2008-09-15 05:18
Dr Henry, you bring up many of the same ideas that make me frustrated every day I come to work. I spent 20 years in manufacturing prior to my medicine career and if any hospital I have ever worked in were trying to compete in business in the real business world, it would shut it's doors within a month. Nurses answering phones, cleaning floors, making beds???? While we have a 8-10 hour wait because we have such a staff shortage! In our state EMTs and paramedics are not allowed to work in any medical capacity in any hospital because the nursing powers that be have made sure through legislation that no one will take their jobs away from them. It is a broken system.
One important issue you overlooked in your cost saving discussions was the utilization of physician assistants. You mentioned that physician's are not always needed in pediatrics. Well they are not always needed to see every patient in the emergency department, in the pediatric office, in the FP office, etc. They are well utilized in many areas and are a great benefit to the whole system.
# Agree and disagree — 2008-09-16 22:07
I agree with much of what you say doc.
I also echo the important role PA's can play in this economic crisis. I have been practicing Emergency Medicine as a PA for several years. I studied health economics and work in management of the ED. Plenty of data to show the effectiveness of having PAs on staff.
My support for EMS is anecdotal. I have been a paramedic for sometime. I have had numerous saves for cases of cardiac arrest, anaphylaxis, drug overdose, etc.. I am confident these patients would not of survived anything above a 5 minutes basic life support transport to an ED. I could write books on all the stories to support using ALS. I have to admit though, like you said, I do not have any data to show the economics of ALS EMS. I think this is more an issue of ethics than it is economics. Shouldnt we try to provide the best care possible? I think end of life and EMS are two very different subjects. They cost money in different ways.
I suspect the cost benefit analysis of EMS would probably reveal a loss.
# 2008-09-17 12:13
What about limiting peg tube and feeding tube placement in nonverbal, nursing home patients. Think about how much that would save. If nothing else, it would save on ED visits for "PEG tube out".
The whole health care argument boils down to one thing: where is the money going? We have limited resources, we are spending more on health care than any other country, and our combined results are far worse than they should be. The only way to reform the system is not evolutionary, as both political candidates would have it, but revolutionary.
The biggest source of waste is the administrative overhead. The only way to real savings in the health care system is to reduce this overhead to a much smaller amount. If that means cutting out the middle man - the health insurance companies - then that is what we must do. Or at the very least, put them on a very short leash and remove the incentive they have to get rid of the sick insured and market aggressively for the healthy population. Of course, this would create a bureaucracy of its own, but a much smaller one than what we now have.
No political candidate wants to talk about this, because there are very powerful interests that basically control health policy in this country. This view is not paranoia - just count the contributions to both parties and count the number of health care lobbyists for the health insurers and big Pharma in Washington.
The ultimate answer will have to come from the bottom up. The only thing the political parties fear more than powerful business interests are the voters!
# from the field — 2008-09-18 07:28
As most of you know, I'm currently running a Shock Trauma Platoon in Iraq. This unit has one nurse (male) and 15 corpsmen and we do just fine. I'd like a chance to run an ED stateside with corpsmen. I'd bet that it could be done for a fraction of the current ED budget without a drop in quality of care, IF a) we had protection from nuisance law suits b) we could allow people to do anything that their supervising physicians had trained them to do and c) we could render the care that was medically necessary and not what was expected to get a high customer satisfaction score.
Am I asking too much? I don't think so. But it won't get done unless we all speak up, locally and nationally. As we reform medicine these features must be included or we will have accomplished nothing.

# Wrong assumptions. Third party control will continue to fail patients and doctors. — 2008-10-24 20:31
Interesting and useful discussion. You are correct that individuals need to control their own spending. I hope you don't think that some health care "Governor" can do it better.
Also many of your assumptions are wrong. Spending money on health care does indeed contribute positively to productivity. If people aren't healthy, they can't work. You write as if all health care spending is a money loser.
You also err in claiming that spending 16.9% of the GDP is all waste and we should get down to 5% like Singapore and we will magically have longer life expectancy and infant mortality. The numbers for infant mortality etc are reported wrong as are life expectancy. Further, why 5%? Why not 10%?
The answer is that there IS no way for any third party to determine the "proper†amount of medical spending in an economy. The only way is for the number to reveal itself in a free market system. When third parties control spending (as they do now) they will insist on things that lowers cost like letting people die too early (whether they like it or not) or telling docs how to practice medicine "efficientlyâ€.
Dr. Henry works from two flawed assumptions:
1. That your numbers are correct (e.g. we spend too much and get worse results)
2. That some third party can fix this without hurting patients and the profession of medicine.
Keep working on the concept that individuals know best how to spend their money best Dr. Henry...you are getting close to the right answer!

# You're an idiot — 2008-12-17 04:13
You really think EMS is a hoax? I really don't see doctors like you out on the street, doing our job, putting your life in danger. I guess you can observe anything from a nice and cozy ER, or in your case, a classroom. Smarten up and show me proof that ALS doesn't help. You say there's no study saying it helps, so show me that it doesn't help.

Liverpool legend Ian Rush was on hand to cut the ribbon and officially declare Anfield's Family Park open on Sunday afternoon.
The Park, located next to the Food Village just off Anfield Road, was launched by Rushie with a little help from eight-year-old Junior Member VIP for the day Oliver Boyle.
Academy starlet Kristoffer Peterson was also present as he tried out some of the activities inside the Park and LFC mascot Mighty Red was his usual mischievous self as he entertained the children.
The Family Park will be free for families, pre-match, who have a matchday ticket, and will have a range of entertainment to keep youngsters occupied. This includes a speed cage, a target cage and an inflatable five-a-side pitch.
Joined by LFC Supporters' Committee representative, Janet Brown OBE, the club's operations director Andrew Parkinson was present to oversee a successful opening afternoon. He told Liverpoolfc.com: "I'm really excited as it's a great day for the club.
"I think you can see from the turnout today just how popular it is already and the Park is hopefully going to be here for a long time to come.
"There's plenty to do for the family and it's all free as well. The Park will be open, weather-permitting, for every Liverpool home game."
Peterson enjoyed the afternoon, stopping to chat with youngsters and their parents and watched as the young guests enjoyed the host of activities on offer.
And the young winger might have been tempted to join them, especially after watching guest performer Dan Magness show-off his astonishing ball skills for the crowd.
"I'm delighted to be here," he said. "It's great for me to be around the fans and also to be in the company of such a legend as Ian Rush.
"I've been getting involved in some of the activities but I can't pull my hamstring, so I haven't been able to have many shots! But I've been here for kids and it's been great to have a nice chat with them.
"It's important because older guys might go to the pubs before the match but for the kids who can't the Park is brilliant. It's a fantastic area for the kids to be."
As well as helping Rush cut the ribbon, junior VIP Oliver was given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to watch the teams warm up from the dugout before kick-off against Arsenal.
Oliver, from Towcester, was handed the opportunity to assist Rush in opening the Park after his dad entered him into a prize draw run for all LFC Junior Members.
Over 1,500 children entered and Oliver was the lucky winner. He took time out from enjoying his afternoon to explain to Liverpoolfc.com how the Park will be a fun place for youngsters like him to head to before games.
"I'm very, very excited to be here," he said. "I've been playing football over at the five-a-side pitch and then I've been trying to get balls through holes but I only got five. It's been great."
The Members' Dream Draw is a monthly competition which offers money-cant-buy prizes. To be in with a chance of winning some of these great prizes, join LFC official membership today.

Library Hunting Down, Preserving Newspapers of Past

Taking up much of the seventh-floor attic in the Connecticut State Library are thousands of yellowed newspapers that were published in Connecticut between 1850 and 1975, papers such as the Cheshire Herald, the Bridgeport Telegram, the Clinton Recorder and the Greenwich News and Graphic.
Jane F. Cullinane, amid volumes of old newspapers at the state library, is microfilming coordinator of a project intended to find and preserve copies of every newspaper ever published in Connecticut.
Published in their day to be read and disposed of, these old newspapers are now a sought-after resource with enormous value for historians and for people conducting genealogical research.
But the papers, resting on massive shelves in the state library attic, are disintegrating. Beneath a stack of Stonington Mirrors and Mystic Journals from 1921, for example, is a pile of yellowed, brittle flakes, pieces of the paper that broke off and have fallen to the floor.
"Who knows what has crumbled away onto the floor, what pieces of text, whose obituary?'' asked Jane F. Cullinane, microfilming coordinator of the library's Connecticut Newspaper Project. "What pieces of news about what was going on in town have crumbled away?''
Her project is an attempt to preserve these newspapers before they collapse into confetti.
"This is a vital thing in the preservation of our memory as a state and as a people,'' said James O. Robertson, a professor emeritus of history at the University of Connecticut.
Bonnie Linck, newspaper librarian at the state library's history and genealogy department, said 6,000 to 8,000 people a year visit the department, and most use old newspapers in their research.
"They are very popular,'' she said.
Robertson, co-author with his wife, Janet C. Robertson, of "All Our Yesterdays'' and author of other historical works, has used newspapers throughout his career. "They give you a chronicle of what is happening day to day in whatever community the newspaper serves,'' he said. "Those things are totally lost if the newspaper is lost.''
In researching "All Our Yesterdays,'' which traced the history of a family in Hampton, the Robertsons came upon a stumbling block.
"We did not know when one of the major characters had died or in what circumstances, and we had no idea how he was publicly viewed -- until we found a wonderful obit,'' he said.
Obituaries and social news items are often used to fill out a genealogist's knowledge of a family's history. A historian might use anything from advertisements to general news columns.
"You won't find what was the debate before the new school was built in 1875 in the town records,'' Cullinane said. "The town records will show the money was allocated and a school was built. But the great debate that raged about whether we should use this land or that land . . . those things are in the newspaper.''
The preservation project began with a five- year effort to identify all the newspapers that have been published in Connecticut and determine which institutions or individuals had copies of any of them.
That work identified 2,071 different newspapers published in the state since 1755. Not a single copy can be found of 220 of them. Of the 1,851 newspapers that were found, in most cases there are many issues missing, and most existing copies have not been microfilmed, the process thought best for long-term preservation.
Once the identification effort was finished, Cullinane's group, with the assistance of an advisory committee of historians, genealogists and newspaper representatives, began selecting newspapers to microfilm. The project offices at the state library include a room where papers are prepared for microfilming, a labor-intensive process that can include ironing the old newspapers.
An iron helps remove folds and bends in old newspapers so they can be microfilmed, part of the state library's Connecticut Newspaper Project.
The first phase -- the job of microfilming 352,500 pages -- should be completed next month. That phase included microfilming the Deep River New Era, the Farmington Valley Herald, the Norwich Bulletin, the Woodbury Reporter, the Stafford Press and the Connecticut Western News. Work on the New Britain Herald has just begun, starting with its first issue in 1880, when it began as a weekly.
Cullinane is awaiting word on a $688,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities before beginning a second phase. The state would spend $305,000 to microfilm another 918,000 newspaper pages by 2001.
Cullinane said the next batch would probably include some ethnic newspapers. There are 87 titles on a list that includes newspapers published for African American communities.
One African American paper, The Hartford Chronicle, was published in the 1940s. Some copies are known to exist and can be microfilmed, but there are many missing editions. Of an earlier African American newspaper, the Hartford Herald, no copies are known to exist. In fact, the project knows of the paper only because it was mentioned in another newspaper, the Hartford Evening Post, which reported that it was first published on April 27, 1918.
Among the ethnic papers were La Verita, an Italian-language paper published in Waterbury for several decades in the early 20th century, and The Hartforder Herold, a German language paper published in Hartford in the late 19th and early 20th century. Only one copy of the Herold is known to exist. There also were papers published in Spanish, Swedish, Hungarian, Polish, French and Russian.
Cullinane said she hopes that people with private collections will come forward and allow their copies to be microfilmed.
"The ethnic and special-group newspapers, like the Hartford Herald, have been especially frustrating to find,'' she said.
The Connecticut project is part of the U.S. Newspaper Program of the National Endowment for the Humanities. So far, the endowment has spent $38 million in 50 states, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and the District of Columbia to microfilm 57 million pages of newsprint.
"All of the newspapers are going to be entered into a database,'' said Jim Turner, a spokesman for the endowment. "They are little time capsules, these newspapers.''
Like their counterparts elsewhere, Connecticut newspapers have varied widely, not only in content but in page size. Cullinane says some of the papers were so large they must have been hard to hold. Another paper, the Eagle, published in Norwich, possibly by a schoolboy, was the smallest yet encountered; 4 1/2 by 5 1/2 inches. Its issue of January 1890 included this news: Miss Ruth Ross celebrated her 11th birthday by giving a party to twenty of her friends Dec. 14th."
The Eagle of Norwich, which measured just 4 1/2 by 5 1/2 inches, is one of the old newspapers the state library is trying to identify and preserve.
Some of the papers are quirky in name, content or both. Cullinane says Rodemeyer's Yellow Spasm, published in Bethel in the 19th century, featured news of eligible bachelors, a forerunner of today's "personals'' ads.
"It would tell you whether they had just a small beard or a big whirly mustache. It was describing them as in a "lonely hearts column,'' Cullinane said.
During the identification phase, the project learned that a newspaper called the Danbury Daily Prune was published in the 1920s, but no copies have been found. It is on a list of 200 missing Connecticut newspapers.
Cullinane said that even if the project receives its next grant, it will not be able to microfilm all of the known Connecticut newspapers that should be preserved.
"It is going to take a grass-roots effort to make sure these newspapers get preserved,'' she said.
There are complete or near-complete microfilm records of some papers, including The Courant. Cullinane said project organizers hope their work will encourage Connecticut publishers to continue microfilming current papers to preserve history for future researchers.
Anyone who believes they may have copies of old Connecticut newspapers not available elsewhere may contact the Connecticut Newspaper Project at (860) 757-6527.

Few things inspire like passion and perhaps no Oklahoman was more passionate than Harold Keith. Born four years before Oklahoma achieved statehood, Keith spent his life here and was renowned for his singing, his running, his writing and his work as OU's first sports publicist. Somehow, he found time to author 17 books, one of which, Oklahoma Kickoff, chronicled the first 25 years of football on the OU campus, or so reads the subtitle. In fact, Keith's book goes beyond sport in describing the formative years of the university and Norman. Personalities and events come into sharp focus thanks to Keith's writing flair and detailed research. Set against the backdrop of football, Oklahoma Kickoff is a wonderful resource for understanding how we started as a university; how we were positioned for the triumphant position we enjoy today and, of course, the passion of Oklahomans.
