5 Ways to Stop Being a Passive Patient
There was a time when many people had long-term relationships with a family doctor – someone who knew them and their families well. Now, it's high time for patients to take an active role in their own healthcare. Here's how.
As Your Medical Care Advances, Is There a Price?
American medicine has made astonishing strides over the past 50 years. This doesn't come cheap, though. While healthcare cost much less 60 years ago, no one is calling for a return to 1950s medicine.
Healthcare's Finest Hour: Technology Drives Advances
While it took us a while to get to this point, this new world of healthcare will be better for all of us. Patients, doctors, and the people who pay for healthcare services all will benefit.
The Day of the Passive Patient Is Over
Healthcare is a team sport. And you – the patient – are the No. 1 draft pick. It's your body, your health, your life. Why shouldn't you have a voice – and a strong one – in your own care?
When Caregivers Become Patients (Video)
Imagine you work in the health care industry: You have the knowledge. You make the rules. Until one day you yourself experience a major health problem. Suddenly, everything changes.
Medical Cost Control Is a Patriotic Duty
As 2013 winds down, we're all wondering: What will the government do for healthcare -- and what will healthcare do for the people of the United States.
Busting 4 Myths About Healthcare Reform
When debating the future of healthcare, it's important to know the facts.
Taking Expense, Unpredictability Out of Healthcare
Americans talk about our healthcare "system." But it's not really a system at all. It's a hodgepodge. Here's how we, in healthcare, can find efficiencies that have worked in other industries.
Electronic Medical Records Transform Patient Care
When it became possible to digitize medical records, it made life better for patients. The Electronic Medical Record has had far-reaching effects on medicine – driving up access, safety, transparency and quality.

San Pat men have capital murder trial delayed
Men accused to murdering Corpus Christi man
CORPUS CHRISTI - A judge on Wednesday delayed the capital murder trial for two San Patricio County men because of new evidence and witnesses in the case.
Pablo Padilla II and Carlos Antonio Gonzales, both 22, were arrested in March after authorities traced more than $1,500 worth of jewelry sold to five pawn shops back to the home of Victor Morales. Morales' wife found her 32-year-old husband lying in a pool of blood on Feb. 22 in the couple's home in the 700 block of Westchester Drive. He was bludgeoned to death.
Corpus Christi police said they used pawn shop receipts to track down the two men and that Morales' wife identified the stolen items.
On Wednesday, 105th District Judge J. Manuel Bañales granted a motion for continuance from Gonzales' attorney, Frank G. Davila, who cited at least three new witnesses that recently came forward.
Prosecutor Robert Flynn said the trial's delay until November also would allow more time for DNA evidence, which surfaced this past weekend, to be tested at a local lab.

We came across this drunk old man on a Manhattan bound N train. He was already on the train and in this position when we boarded at Kings Highway.
We didn't even notice him on the train with us until two stops into our journey, because he looked dead. Our first thought was to see if he was alive. We noticed shallow breathing and an empty can of Four Loko behind his leg. ALIVE!
We assume that he didn't know what he was getting himself into when he decided to have a Four Loko party for himself. Then, almost immediately after taking the above photo, he began to move, then proceeded to vomit his stomach full of Four Loko all over the floor of the subway car, cursed, and then fell back asleep.
Let this be a perfect example of who not to grow up and become. Drink responsibly.

Why Hit Homers When Singles Will Do?
Why hit homers when 15 singles will do? Lexington banged out 15 one-base hits in an 8-0 defeat of the Academy Bees Tuesday night. The Knipstein twins, Rachel and Sara, each poked three singles and knocked in a run to lead the offense. Haley Jatzlau knocked in two runs and Shelby Tackett added two singles. Eight starters got a hit for the Lady Eagles as they improved their district record to 5-1. The win enhanced Lexington's chances of moving into the post season playoffs.
Lexington put three runs on the board in the top of the first. Tackett got a one-out hit. Parish walked in front of Jatzlau's grounder that was booted by the second baseman. Megan Scantlin put down a bunt that scored Parish and Rachel followed with the first of her three singles to plate Jatzlau.
Two runs came in each of the fourth and fifth innings. In the fourth Ashton Johnston singled, moved to third on Ally Abshire's single, and scored on a passed ball with Abshire moving to third. Parish popped a sacrifice fly ball to left to score Abshire. In the fifth Scantlin led off with a single, Rachel singled again, and sister Sara singled home Scantlin. Courtney Clifford, the courtesy runner for Rachel, scored as Heather Mills sacrificed.
The last run came in the sixth. Parish singled, moved to second on a passed ball, and scored on Jatzlau's single. The Lady Eagles played a good game in the field making two errors in support of Rachel Knipstein's nine-strike out pitching.

Watkins, Woodford Complete Semifinal Session at NCAA Championship
Watkins garnered second team All-America honors on beam
Watkins, Woodford Prepped for NCAA Championship
This marks the first time in program history two individuals will compete together at the national championship
Watkins, Woodford Punch Tickets to NCAA Championship
Both will advance as all-arounders to the national level
Gymnastics Prepped for NCAA Regional Championship
The Wolfpack is one of six teams to compete at Oklahoma
Gymnastics to Continue Road Slate at Washington Friday Evening
This will be the second time the two teams have met in the 2015 season
Colleen Johnson enters her 10th season as a member of the NC State gymnastics coaching staff and her first as an associate head coach. Johnson is in the fifth season of her second stint with the team.
Johnson is primarily responsible for coaching the squad on the balance beam, as well as choreography on the floor exercise. Johnson also plays a vital role in the Wolfpack recruiting efforts. In addition, she assists with the program's budget and the administrative duties of the squad, including overseeing the marketing and public relations aspects and initiating community service efforts.
In 2014, Johnson guided the Wolfpack to 48.955 Regional Qualifying Score on the balance beam, which ranked 23rd in the country. The Pack recorded a season-best score of 49.350 on the balance beam in a tri-meet against then-No. 8 Michigan, Towson and UNC-Chapel Hill, which ranks seventh all-time. Throughout the 2014 season, the squad posted 33 scores of 9.800 or higher on the balance beam, including a season best 9.925 from Hannah Fallanca against UNC-Chapel Hill.
The 2013 campaign saw State finish the season 26th in the final Troester.com poll of the season with an 11-9-1 overall record and secure a postseason berth for the 11th consecutive season. The Pack captured its fifth EAGL Championship in school history and first since 2009. Under Johnson's tutelage, State has placed one gymnast on the All-EAGL First Team on beam, and two gymnasts on the All-EAGL Second Team. The Wolfpack posted a season-best 49.150 on the balance beam at New Hampshire and were led by Hannah Falanca on the beam with a season-best total of 9.950 at the Sweetheart Invitational. Overall, the team posted 26 scores of 9.8 or better.
In 2012, Johnson was named the NCAA Southeast Region Assistant Coach of the Year for the second time in her career with the Wolfpack. Under her guidance the Pack made drastic improvements on beam, landing two gymnasts on the All-EAGL First Team, three on the All-EAGL Second Team, and two on the EAGL First Team All-Tournament. Under Johnson, the Pack posted 29 scores of 9.8 or better, and notched a team-high of 49.275 on beam at the Sweetheart Invitational, a score bolstered by Panza's 9.9 on the event.
Johnson spent six seasons as an assistant coach at Arizona from 2005-10, prior to her return to NC State. Under Johnson's guidance, three members of Arizona's 2007 team advanced to the NCAA Championships, including two members of the squad in the all-around, as well as a beam specialist. , Johnson was named South Central Region Assistant Coach of the Year while at Arizona. In addition, the Wildcats posted three of the top-four scores in program history on the balance beam in her time there. Johnson was also influential in spearheading the community service efforts for team to win the Director's Cup for Community Service each year with the Wildcats.
While at Arizona, Johnson was responsible for choreographing the floor exercise routines while coaching primarily the balance beam and assisting with all practice activities. Aside from coaching and choreography, Johnson was heavily involved in the marketing and promotions of the program, administrative duties, the team attire (leotards, warm-ups, public appearance attire, etc), and producing every piece of custom music for the team's floor routines.
During her previous time at NC State as an assistant coach (1999-2004), Johnson was named the 2003 Southeast Region Assistant Coach of the Year. During her five seasons, Johnson coached balance beam and choreography for floor.
In her first season with the Pack in 2000, Johnson's beam team broke the school's beam record by earning a 49.525 at the Wolfpack Invitational, and won the EAGL title in the event. In 2002, Johnson guided NC State to another EAGL championship with an impressive 49.225 on beam. Eventually, Johnson's squad would match the beam record of 49.525 in 2004 against George Washington.
Prior to her first stint with NC State, Johnson served as coach and choreographer at various gymnastics clubs in Florida, Atlanta, and Vancouver. From 1995-96, she was the University of Florida's student coach, working primarily with the beam and floor routines.
As a gymnast, Johnson has collected many different accolades. She was a member of the Canadian National Gymnastics team from 1988 to 1991, including being a part of the bronze medal winning team at the 1991 Pan American games in Cuba.
Johnson resides in Raleigh with former Wolfpack All-American Mike Lombardo (wrestling) and are the proud parents of one daughter, Gianna.

Secretary Cohen: Thank you very much. Good Afternoon.
Mayor Panavis and I had a very good meeting this morning. We discussed the move of Southern Command headquarters to Miami. The relocation is on schedule and it should be completed by the end of September. SOUTHCOM's move will further establish Miami as the capital of the Americas and we are building strong partnerships with countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. With one exception, our hemisphere is democratic, increasingly prosperous.
President Clinton, as I indicated during my remarks earlier this morning, plans to make three trips to the region in the next year. His first trip is going to be to Mexico and the Caribbean in May. I plan to visit the region later this year. Stability throughout the region benefits all of us, allows us to focus on common problems such as drug trafficking and economic growth and I'm glad we've been able to participate in this important conference, but the message should be very clear, we're all more secure when we work together.
So let me entertain your questions. I hope you have more questions than the audience.
Q: Mr. Secretary, I know that (Inaudible) on the sale of F- 16s to Chile? . ..
(Interruption in tape)
A: . .. question of my position is ultimately President Clinton's decision. And President Clinton is now reviewing whether or not there should be a change in the policy that we currently have, and that is not to engage in weapon sales throughout Latin America. I think it's fair to say that obviously we would prefer to see restraint exercised by all countries as far as arms purchases are concerned, but there are countries who need to modernize their equipment as well for their own self-defensive needs. And so the President is looking at it very closely to see whether or not we should approach it on a case by case basis.
We have taken the position that our American manufacturers should at least be in the position of submitting technical data in order to be competitive should that decision be made in the future, but I would expect the decision be made some time within the next month or two, hopefully that the President will then make that determination. But I felt, obviously, that our manufacturers should at least be not handicapped and not put in the non-competitive position, but should at least be able to supply technical data so if a decision to reverse the policy is made, they will be able to compete.
Q: (Inaudible)
A: I have not made a recommendation to the President at this point. He wants to study the matter more thoroughly and we will have consultations. Secretary Albright, myself, the National Security Advisor, all of us will participate in the discussions. At this point, we simply wanted to not prejudice the American companies who might be competing against other foreign countries as far as sales of weapons, so we need to have that -- have more study done.
Q: Secretary, do you have any more word missing A- 10(inaudible)?
A: No. I've heard nothing new as far as the missing pilot.
Q: (Inaudible) A lot of people are asking questions about how (inaudible) Could you give us any insight into that as well?
A: Well it would be virtually impossible to conduct a psychological examination of every person or pilot in the military. I think this was an unusual event. It's something that appears to be completely out of character with this particular pilot. As best to my knowledge, there were no well known indices or indicators that would lead one to believe that he was unstable or in any way had some disaffection that would cause him to either to break away, so it's still very much of an enigma and I think that I can't contribute to the speculation because I really don't have any inside information about his psychological profile, if he had a profile. Everything that I've read to date would indicate that he appeared to be a very well adjusted member of the military. But we don't go around profiling individual members unless there's some exhibition of bizarre behavior and I'm not aware of any indication of that in his case.
Q: (Inaudible) and there's some concern that the brazenness of that act would inspire other terrorist activity. Would you make an assessment of the terrorist threats in Latin America and the military's role in addressing it?
A: I think any time that you have a terrorist action, there are others who might seek to emulate it. I cannot say that that particular activity has emboldened any would be terrorists in the region. I think it's too hard to say whether others are now planning such missions.
I think terrorism is one of the most likely threats that all of us will face in the coming decades. That will be perhaps the preferred method of operation of a number of groups who are spread globally, and they may have one particular cause or another, but I think that's one of the threats that we face for the indefinite future, increase in terrorism, either domestic or international. So it's something that we have to confront in the coming years.
Q: What should be the role...(Inaudible)?
A: Well, obviously, as far as the drug war is concerned, that remains very much up to the individual countries in terms of how they will conduct their police efforts, drug control, essentially, or narcotic control is essentially police function. It is in our own country and it's up to each individual country to decide it shall structure it's forces, how it shall handle it. But we interested in cooperating in any capacity we can.
We are in support of the Latin American countries' efforts. We do not conduct military activities as such on our part, but we lend support consistent with the countries request. So it's up to the individual country how they wish to structure their forces. One of the many benefits of this conference and the center for the study of matters will deal with how do we have civilian control over the military, educate our military in the forms of constitutional government, try to share ideas on how we're combating the control of drugs in our country, what policies can be implemented in other countries to cut down the flow of drugs, and as was raised during the course of the question and answer period upstairs, what can we do in our own country to cut down on the demand. If you have such a demand, you're bound to have pressure to produce the supply. So we have a major effort to cut down on the demand in this country that we have yet to meet.
Q: (Talking over each other.)
A: This gentleman here first.
Q: Thank you. In your remarks after the speech, you talked about strategy of engagement for Latin America. There is, of course, one exception. Recently, President Clinton, in conjunction with his Canadian counterpart said definitely, the strategy, each one, Canada's and United States' don't seem to be working in regards to Cuba. What is the strategy now? I mean, where do you go from here?
A: It's the law as far as the Helms-Burton law, which will continue in effect until it's changed. The President has indicated he has reached an accord with the EU to seek some relief from the Helms-Burton Act, but Senator Helms has not indicated any eagerness to reverse or modify the act, so I suspect that the policy will remain in effect (coughing) excuse me, until it's changed.
Q: Mr. Secretary, you mentioned that a number of countries in Latin America need to modernize their militaries for self defense needs. What countries might those be and who would they be defending themselves or need to defend themselves against. What's the perceived threat?
A: That's really up to them to decide what they need and what they would require. I think most countries do feel a need to protect their own borders, to protect against potential threats in the future which they can't foresee at this time. It would be similar, for example, to southeast Asian countries, which are enjoying an enormous growth rate and prosperity. They also are modernizing their countries' military. Modest, it is consistent with their own defined goals. I would say the same thing applies to Latin American countries to the degree that any country feels it should have a standing military, should be well equipped, well trained for their own protection, that is protection either now or for the future. They can't necessarily foresee what the future will unfold, how it will unfold. So most countries would feel that we have to have some measure of protection. And it's up to them as free societies to determine what the shape of that protection should take.
A: Well, we hope there will be no arms race at all, but frankly, as I indicated before, one would hope that there could be a regional accord on restraint so that there is not an arms race. But nonetheless, I think it's foreseeable that there will be some modernization, and at what levels remains to be seen. But that's for elected officials working together in a democratic society to decide exactly what the form and shape of that defense capability should take.
Q: Could I ask you a couple questions about the ship rider (?) agreement, please, for the BBC? I'd like to ask a supplementary after this first question. The first question is: Is the United States prepared to decertify Barbados and Jamaica if they refuse to sign the ship rider agreement?
A: I'm not even in a position to answer that question. It's not something that's come before me.
Q: Do you hope to be able to get an agreement with Jamaica and Barbados about the ship rider?
A: It really is not before the Defense Department at this point, so I can't comment on it.
Q: (Inaudible) areas on arms smuggling?
A: On arms smuggling?
Q: Arms smuggling.
A: First question, how soon can we get a replacement for General Clark, as soon as possible. He has done an outstanding job in a very short period of time. And I must say that he has, to his great credit, mixed emotions about being named to head up SACEUR as such, head of the European forces and supreme Allied commander. And his initial, if I can breach a matter of confidence here, when I called him to tell him about the nomination, his immediate reaction was well, what are going to do about SOUTHCOM?
His primary focus and concern has been on SOUTHCOM and the great work that he has undertaken here. And to me, it was a remarkable statement because I think many of the people say that's great news, when do I leave, when do I take my new job. But his was rather how can I finish this job and how much time do I have. And of course, he has several more months before that transfer takes place. I will try to make a decision in the next several weeks about a replacement.
With respect to arms smuggling, I think I'd have to defer that General Clark in terms of the level of activity taking place.
A: I think I would defer that General Clark.
General Clark: Mr. Secretary, with your permission, we do know it is a concern, it's discussed by several of the ministers and heads of government as we have gone through the region. It's something we work with them on in a very low level way because it is primarily a problem for their own police and for their customs and coast guard and naval activities to prevent this kind of activity.
Q: (Inaudible) As the lines between international crime and war blur, info war, cyber crime with international respect, there are resources available in DoD that can be used to combat these new threats and how are they -- what do you foresee in their use? It'll look as if DoD will be taking more of anti- crime role, but it's part of the changing nature of crime/war, no?
A: Well, indeed. I think you point out something that I mentioned just in passing upstairs during the course of my remarks. But information warfare is going to pose great challenges to all of us in the future. As we become more and more sophisticated in our technology, obviously, there will be others who are not nearly as robust in the development of their particular systems who will seek ways to bring ours down, to crash our systems, to manipulate information, to pour in misinformation, ways to insert viruses and on and on.
What we have to do and what we will be doing is sharing information. We will, as part of this process of working together in this hemisphere with our partners, is brining military leaders together with those in the Pentagon, to bring civilian leaders together with members of -- civilian officials with members of Congress, sharing information and joining in the combat of terrorism. And you can have computer terrorism as well as explosive type of terrorism. You can have people who can alter information, which can produce catastrophic consequences. And so we are, I think, will be proceeding along the track of sharing our information as we develop it and ways in which we can combat those who would seek to bring down our countries or in any way destroy our institutions by sharing that information and helping to -- in many cases, even co-develop or share that technology.
Q: Mr. Secretary, one more question. You can't come to Miami and not have a question on Cuba, sir.
A: Well, I can. (Laughter)
Q: You'd be the first one to get away with it. Does the Pentagon look at Cuba still as a military threat? What exactly is the definition of Cuba in military terms, how do you view it?
A: I would say General Clark probably in a better position to talk about it as a military threat. I think that Cuba stands out as an anomaly more than anything else today. Every other country in this region has moved away from the communist ideology, the kind of repressive regime that is posed by Castro. And to the extent that he's a military power, I think that power perhaps is waning if it still exists in terms of threatening neighbors to any significant degree. I think it's just a situation where it's ultimately going to fall to the forces of freedom and democracy, ultimately. I think we'll see a gradual withering away of the communist state, which is consistent with the Marxist doctrine.

Clark was indebted to his skipper Steven Caldwell as the Scot scored his first goal for Birmingham to give them a 2-1 lead after an indifferent start when Barnet were often the better side.
Jon Nurse gave Barnet a 31st-minute lead which was cancelled out by a Marlon King penalty eight minutes later.
Caldwell then knocked the fight out of Barnet with his 49th-minute goal which was followed by Darren Ambrose who notched a third in the 54th minute.
Peter Lovenkrands scored the fourth three minutes from time and Wade Elliott scored a fifth a minute later.
Clark said: "We didn't cause them enough problems early on.
"We had to change a few things at half-time. The players and myself were in agreement what was necessary and we did what was required.
"The second half performance was a big improvement.Not only did we score four goals we actually didn't give them much sight of our goal.
"Basically, it was not us playing at the right speed. Certainly when we did it in the second half that we looked a different side.
"I have to praise the players. They are a honest bunch of players and they are top players who have high demands of themselves."
Barnet manager Mark Robson, in charge for the first time since his arrival from Peterborough, admitted: "I was absolutely delighted with the way my team played.
"We were excellent and to be honest we could have gone in 3-1 at half-time instead of 1-1.
"Even in the second half we were quite good. The early goal didn't help and then Darren Ambrose scored a fantastic goal.
That is the class Birmingham have. Their finishing was first class.
"Even at 3-1 I could have taken it on the chin. The only disappointment I had was the last 10 minutes.
"We caused our own problems and finished up losing 5-1 which was hardly a fair reflection on the game.
"There were lots of positives for me to take out of the game."

DON'T TALK BAD ABOUT MACK BROWN, HE'S A SAINT AND YOU KNOW $#@! ABOUT FOOTBALL AND YOU HAVE NO TESTICLES caps
Look, zoom out a bit. This is the same $#@! that you always make fun of A&M for saying. Your coach is 2 years removed from playing in the MNC and 6 years removed from winning it. I'm not saying a school with the resources and tradition of Texas shouldn't demand excellence every season, but no coach is going to bat 1.000 on player evaluations and game management/play calling. Nobody on this board but the most blind burnt orange kool aid drinkers thought Texas would be competing for the Big 12 this year, and most hoped for keeping contests respectable as a best case scenario. By and large, that has happened. If Mack can't get it done next year, every coach in America will pick up the phone when Dodds calls. Big picture, Texas will be fine. That said, this season sucks.
Your facts and figures intrigue me and I also enjoy the occasional jelly bean.
But when I do I drink Dos Equis
Night $#@!ers.
So..stats are not for losers anymore?
I think that winning percentage is lower than our basketball team's free throw shooting percentage.
Hey, we're #1 in money. Rich bitch, holla dolla. Hook em horns we're Texas!!!
Can't wait for my dividend check, wait, wut?
Aggy takes the players that we don't want. To be in this situation when we basically select our players is horrific.This is the same $#@! that you always make fun of A&M for saying.
after winning 75 of the previous 84.
Incredible fall
Where are the $#@! "we are the Joneses" $#@!ets now?
suspect recruiting classes and horrible talent evaluation
RG3 was recruited by UT as a DB <<<<< let this sink in
so if I'm not too drunk....that means we're 11-12
beginning in Jan. 2010.
almost 2 years ago now. I just don't understand what happened.
I thought 8-4 at the beginning of the year.
K-State is what it is....I dunno but it just is. But Missouri ----and their $#@! field ---on the other hand....that shouldn't happen.
We're still paying the price for the complacency and bull$#@! of the last several years. Hopefully, this is the last year of it, and it doesn't extend into next year.
Upside: We will not see it on the LHN we do not get.
We sure as $#@! better show major improvement next year. Three years in a row of being $#@!ty is unacceptable, $#@! excuses.
Whatcha guys bitching about? Taco bell agreed to a 5% increase in ad revenue for their 4th quarter gong, the brand is alive and strong. We rich, bitch.
and to follow it with a 6-6 season should be a death sentence.
Cheese should not be optional on a taco, it should be mandatory.
the last 2 years of texas football have been really enjoyable..

"Ninety-seven percent of scientists agree:#climate change is real, man-made and dangerous," President Barack Obama tweeted last Thursday, May 16.
The president was cheering on the media-drawn bandwagon for the latest round of global warming "consensus" puffery. John Cook, an Australian blogger/global warming activist, has President Obama and all the usual climate alarmists in academia, the media, and the Big Green NGOs twitterpated over his latest "research," which purports to prove that the scientific world is virtually unanimous in declaring that anthropogenic global warming (AGW) — that is, human-caused global warming — is a dire and imminent existential threat.
Certainly "97% of scientists" is an impressive-sounding claim. But is it accurate? As we shall see, this supposed near unanimity of science evaporates like H2O over a Bunsen burner as soon as it is subjected to scrutiny.
"Quantifying the consensus on anthropogenic global warming in the scientific literature" by John Cook and his team at the Global Change Institute, was published in Environmental Research Letters. Many of the headlines pointing to this study in newspapers, television news broadcasts, and Internet websites led with the same 97 percent claim, same as President Obama. Some of them were a bit more careful than others to qualify that figure based on what the study said, but it would still take a careful reader to recognize that they weren't saying the same thing as the occupant of the White House.
The story by Rik Myslewski of the British newspaper The Register is a typical example. The Register's main headline read: "Climate scientists agree: Humans cause global warming." But sub-headline immediately beneath says: "Of those who have an opinion, over 97% say we're to blame."
The crucial point here is the qualifying clause, "of those who have an opinion." In other words, even the highly questionable Cook study doesn't actually claim, as President Obama does, that "Ninety-seven percent of scientists agree." In fact, when examined closely, one finds that the study says only one-third of the authors of the published research papers they examined expressed an opinion that the Cook team interpreted as either an implicit or explicit endorsement of AGW. So now its 97 percent of one-third of selected scientists in a sampling of research papers. That's a far cry from the 97 percent of all scientists claimed by President Obama and many of the media stories. And, as we will show below, even this admitted dramatically lower consensus claimed by the study is fraught with problems and falls apart further under examination.

I'm on my way to Heaven,
And there ain't no turning back.
I'm on my way to the Holy land,
To hold my Saviors hand.
I'll leave this old world behind,
And I'll go to a brand new place.
I'm going up to my new home,
To see my Savior's face.
And when I get there,
The angel's will rejoice in His name.
We'll all give God the Glory,
For he is worthy to be Praised.
So if you want to go with me,
Up to the mansion the Lord has prepared--
Just praise the Lord and hold his hand--
Beause we're on our way to Heaven.

UNICOI — According to Unicoi Alderman Mark Ramsey, when late Unicoi resident Jack Snider donated a little more than nine acres of property located off Exit 32 to the town of Unicoi, he did so without stipulation and with the knowledge that the town would put the land to good use.
"He was right," Ramsey said. "We scratched our head and tried to figure out what we could do with it. Things just fell in place."
Local and state officials gathered at what is known as Snider Park at the base of Buffalo Mountain on Friday morning for a dedication and grand-opening ceremony to celebrate the opening of one of the property's uses — the Pinnacle Fire Tower Trail.
"We have a new place to enjoy our National Forest and all the beautiful things we have out here," Unicoi Mayor Johnny Lynch said.
The nearly 5-mile hiking/biking trail, which was completed earlier this year, winds up Buffalo Mountain and leads to the recently renovated Pinnacle Fire Tower. The tower, which once served as a fire lookout for the Cherokee National Forest, was decommissioned several years ago. With renovations now complete, the tower is now open to the public, offering visitors a 360-degree view of the surrounding areas.
All of the officials who spoke at the ceremony lauded the partnership between the town of Unicoi and the U.S. Forest Service that made the trail's completion possible. Unicoi County Mayor Greg Lynch said the town has been proactive in bringing in infrastructure for recreational tourism.
"The partnership is the key word there," Greg Lynch said. "That's where this infrastructure is coming from. We do appreciate what Unicoi has done and also, of course, Erwin has done quite a bit as well, and the county, we're trying to do our part. We do think eventually we're going to have probably a blue chip recreational venue for Unicoi County. It's just going to take some time, and this is one of the steps."
State Rep. David Hawk said the state is working on bringing more recreational opportunities and the possibility of lodging opportunities to Unicoi County. He also praised the efforts of those involved with the Pinnacle Fire Tower Trail project.
"We know how passionate the town of Unicoi is about bringing folks into our community, and this is another reason for folks to come," Hawk said.
The trailhead of the Pinnacle Fire Tower Trail is located adjacent to the planned location of the Tanasi Heritage and Arts Center. Town of Unicoi Parks and Recreation Director Travis Barbee said other enhancements are in store for the property and trail. He said the town is pursuing grant funding for the construction of a pavilion/picnic area near the trail and interpretive signage to be placed along the trail displaying native plants and animals.
Barbee said distance markers, including information such as calories burned, could be placed along the trail. The town, in partnership with the Unicoi Ruritan Club, will also be starting a shuttle service to take the elderly and those unable to make the hike up to the Pinnacle Fire Tower to the tower.
Terry Bowerman, district ranger of the Cherokee's Nolichucky/Unaka District, said the Pinnacle Fire Tower Trail and renovation of the tower itself serve as examples of the Forest Service's partnerships with the town of Unicoi and Unicoi County in trying to enhance recreational opportunities in the county.
"This is a really exciting day for me because we've been working on this Pinnacle system for years, and this has been the first step of the completion of that," Bowerman said.

Developer: Prarie Games
Publisher: Prarie Games
Platform: PC
Release Date: January 2006
by John Barnett
Who wouldn't want to play as monsters? I mean, ever since the beginning of the MMORPG craze, players have complained about wanting the ability to actually play a bad guy, or at least someone who doesn't always have to do the right thing. Ogre Battle started this fascination with the ability to finish the game with the "low road" but even still it had its limitations, so Minions of Mirth heard this rallying cry and decided to give the people what they have been wanting!
With any game, there are pros and cons with the mechanics, music, graphics, storyline, server, etc., and Minions of Mirth is no exception. Still, I can forgive a lot of problems because of the intuition the game system had to take and the innovative style that they used to create it. The biggest complaint I have with the game would have to be the monetary system. The system makes it extremely hard to gain money, especially early on in the game. I didn't really try it in the multiplayer mode and it might be easier that way because of the cooperative playing, but as far as the solo play mode (which I figure most of the players will spend their time on) it is nigh impossible to get a decent amount of currency. Instead of having a single currency like most games use, Minions of Mirth features a D&D style of currency with copper, gold, silver, and platinum pieces. I didn't think it was that bad until I started playing; I was working my way through the first tower, fighting monsters with my sword and gaining copper pieces and a few bits of silver. Well, the durability of my starter sword died and it broke, so I went to the blacksmith to buy a new one or to have it repaired. Guess what? I had NOWHERE near the money to do either. Needless to say, that was frustrating.
The graphics weren't exactly eye candy, but, then again, they are not the crude graphics of some other p2p (pay 2 play) games that are out there on the market. It reminded me a lot of the earlier game graphic engines that they used for Rainbow Six and Darkstone, both of which are retail games, so given that they are not the only ones to do this, I can forgive them for the price tag. I did like the eye for detail that they gave the characters and the enemies. Still, I believe that they could have used more details in the maps and levels, but that may have slowed down the lower-end computers playing the game, especially in multiplayer modes.
The music and sound effects they used were nothing revolutionary, but heads above most of the other retail games out there on the market today. Using a medieval flavor helped set the mood and improved the whole atmosphere. It's a nice change from the normal Korean or Malaysian feel that a lot of the MMORPG games have. I noticed myself humming the bars with the game when I was playing, which says something good about the music. You can't help but do it when you are wearing a headset and the methodical beats pound through your head, burying itself into the memory. Fortunately it was pretty good stuff!
Overall, I feel the game is extremely well done considering the price tag that is on it. I was not able to stress test the server during the multiplayer modes because I am normally a lone player, even in the cooperative modes, so I couldn't see what would happen when you had a legion of monsters versus a horde of players, but I didn't lag at all when I was playing otherwise. The other revolutionary aspect, beyond being able to play as a monster, is the fact that you can switch between characters in mid-combat. This took care of a lot of griping that players were having in other games that went along the lines of, "Man, I would so pwn that if I had my other character".
If you have a bit of cash lying around and want something like
Diablo where you can play online and solo, then this is a game that you should really consider investing in.

Calgary's growth management strategy under siege
South of the border there is much gnashing of teeth over the impending "fiscal cliff" on which the United States economy teeters. Meanwhile, here in Calgary, a proposed plan to avoid our very own fiscal cliff — a tsunami of infrastructure spending and maintenance that will bury us if we continue business as usual — is under siege.
On December 3, in a legislative showdown to determine if we will pull up short of the metaphorical cliff or continue galloping toward it, council will consider a proposal put forth by developers to neuter the city's growth management strategy.
This story begins a long time ago, as recounted in great detail by local historian Max Foran in Expansive Discourses: Urban Sprawl in Calgary, 1945-1978 . In the 1950s, the City of Calgary essentially handed the responsibility for residential planning to the private development industry. Since that time, developers have delivered the suburban, sprawling, car-worshipping and fiscally unsustainable city we have today.
There have been attempts to turn the tide, most notably in the 1980s when city planners presented a new vision of a more sustainable, walkable city that would tame the automobile. That didn't work out so well for many of the planners. They were unceremoniously run out of town by then-mayor Ralph Klein and a chill settled over city planning for years.
It wasn't until January 2005 that the city recovered from that trauma and, with the leadership of aldermen such as Joe Ceci, embarked on an unprecedented citizen engagement to chart a new course. That effort culminated in 2006 at the World Urban Forum in Vancouver, where then-mayor Dave Bronconnier unveiled the imagineCalgary 100-year vision.
Eighteen-thousand Calgarians had a hand in crafting that vision. The citizen panel that led the process included Naheed Nenshi and Brian Pincott, who later became mayor and alderman, respectively, as well as the CEOs of both the United Way and Glenbow Museum. In July 2006 at a special hearing of city council, dozens of organizations presented letters of support for the document, including Sustainable Calgary, Calgary Economic Development and the Calgary Region Homebuilders Association.
Between 2007 and 2009, with the participation of thousands of citizens, and the unanimous endorsement of council, a 60-year road map on how to achieve the imagineCalgary vision was given legal weight in the Municipal Development Plan (MDP) and the Calgary Transportation Plan. Change is sometimes excruciatingly slow, but the planning process plods along. In December 2011, council endorsed the continued development of a growth management strategy that would give teeth to the MDP.
The strategy establishes criteria for deciding where new residential development should occur. The point is to grow the city in places where providing infrastructure — transit, roads, water and sewer, and emergency services — is least costly. In the old system we said yes to developments with little concern for the long-term cost to taxpayers, or the impending fiscal cliff.
ImagineCalgary, the MDP and the growth management strategy represent the long road to fiscal prudence and sustainability for our city. The problem is that the road to fiscal prudence diverges from that of profit maximization for the development industry, and they are not amused.
The industry refused to endorse the imagineCalgary vision, they challenged the MDP process every step of the way and, in the final analysis, diluted the plan during a closed-door 11th hour deal with mayor Bronconnier. In the winter of 2011 they were successful in lobbying council to institute a 40 per cent taxpayer subsidy of infrastructure costs for greenfield suburban development — over $80,000 per hectare — rather than absorbing all the costs themselves. Prior to this, the city was on the hook for 55 per cent of suburban infrastructure costs.
On December 3, council will consider another proposal from developers — this time that they will pay the cost of drawing up Area Structure Plans (ASP). This is the first of a series of statutory planning stages that culminates in the building of a new community. It sounds like a generous offer, but the industry's motivation is anything but altruistic. The existence of an ASP allows the developer to move forward to a stage of the development process where they are in the driver's seat. In effect, developers want to position themselves, with ASP in hand, to jump the land development priorities queue that the growth management strategy will establish.
It is sad but true that over the past decade of a renaissance in city planning, the development industry has been consistently obstructionist. They appear offended by the notion of citizens having a place at the table when decisions are being made about the design of the neighbourhoods and communities where we will raise our families. They have profited handsomely from the back-room, closed-door development process and they are loathe to see it change.
But a new day has dawned for the planning of our city and it includes citizens. Our mayor was elected on a promise of more openness at city hall. Over the past decade, thousands of citizens have responded, in good faith, to the city's invitation to participate in various planning processes.
Election season will soon be upon us. Aldermen are already hard at work soliciting the development industry — their major donors — for money to help them contest elections. This is all quite legal, but easily abused.
I would suggest that to balance the playing field, aldermen need a gentle reminder about whom they work for as they consider this crucial decision. We place our trust in them to represent the common good, rather than a small but powerful private interest group.

Characterize a large lunar impact basin through "ground truth" validation of global, regional, and local remotely sensed data of the sampled site;
Elucidate the sources of thorium and other heat-producing elements to understand lunar differentiation and thermal evolution; and
Determine the age and composition of farside basalts to determine how mantle source regions on the Moon's farside differ from the basalts from regions sampled by Apollo and Luna.
A Venus In Situ Explorer mission would address fundamental unanswered questions of the history and current state of Venus through a characterization of the chemical composition and dynamics of the atmosphere of Venus, and/or measure surface composition and rock textures. While it is unlikely that all of the objectives delineated in the decadal survey could be addressed within the New Frontiers cost constraints, a mission that addresses a subset of these objectives would provide critical information about the present state and history of Venus. The current European Space Agency (ESA) Venus Express mission has greatly expanded knowledge of the upper atmosphere and exosphere of Venus, and has contributed to understanding of regions of the atmosphere nearer to the planet's surface. However, characterization of the noble-gas and isotopic signatures of the well-mixed lower atmosphere would greatly expand understanding of the formation and evolution of the atmosphere of Venus, illuminate important elements of the current climate, including the drivers for the Venus greenhouse effect, and potentially provide insight on the early tectonic evolution of the planet. Prior landed missions of Soviet Venera and Vega spacecraft (Figure 2.2) have provided some information on crustal compositions and textures, but they have been confined to lowland areas composed of basaltic lava flows. Landed missions in highland regions or on older terrains could answer questions related to presence of silicic rock compositions or earlier phases of tectonism, but they present significant technological challenges.

Recipe by Syd
"A real, old-fashioned cassoulet slow cooked in a 20th century kitchen appliance. Traditional cassoulet has a sprinkling of bread crumbs on top; if you want the bread crumbs, you can finish this dish in the oven, so that the bread crumbs are toasted."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 pound
pork sausage links, sliced
1 tablespoon
whole cloves
whole onion, peeled
3 sprigs
fresh parsley
1 sprig
fresh thyme
1/2 pound
1 sprig
fresh rosemary
1 pound
dry navy beans, soaked overnight
bay leaf
carrots, peeled and sliced
3 cloves
garlic, minced
1 pound
skinned, boned duck breast halves, sliced into thin strips.
fresh tomato, chopped
Captures the flavors of true cassoulet without the hassel of making it the authetic way. I used tomato paste instead of a fresh tomato to get closer to authetic flavor. Do take the time to put it in the oven with the bread crumbs, it really gives the dish a beautiful finish.
Thank you Syd for sharing your recipe. It was nice to come home to smell of cassoulet! As other reviewers had stated, it is a bit watery but I was not expecting miracles from my crockpot (its old and well loved). So I decided when finishing off with bread crumbs in the oven. I would put it in for about an hour at 325, then top with the breadcrumbs and stick the oven on broil to toast them up quickly. It worked out well. Next time, I may try using goose breast and vension sausage (as my husband is a hunter, so we have these lying around) and use tomato paste rather than a whole tomato. Lastly as other reviewers had mentioned, a mixture of chicken and beef stock as well as red wine would make a nice broth instead of just water.

A beautiful dish! I used a Dutch oven to cook this, as is customary with most cassoulets. It worked wonderfully! I also added bread crumbs and agree, they are worth the extra few minutes in the oven. Thank you for this great recipe!
I had roast duckling for New Year's eve, and I wanted to use the leftover duck. I chose this recipe as a base, but I used a dutch oven and cooked it 1 hr at 450 and then 4 hrs at 300. Also, I used the quick soak method for preparing the beans -- put them in boiling water, shut off heat & leave them an hour, or longer, like 2, till they double in size. I read a lot about cassoulet, which I'd never made before. Julia says the flavor of the liquid is the key. (Everything else, especially beans, absorbs it). So I used my duck carcass and two turkey thigh bones, plus carrots, celery & onion (studded w/ clove) to make a broth while the beans were soaking. My duck, when fat cut off etc, was only 5 oz, so I used 2 turkey thighs, skinned, boned, & cut up, to make up. I used Kielbasa. I'm not sure I like the extra spice, but my son did. Next time, rather than just slicing, I'd slice & half the slices, so the spicey bites were smaller. I realized half way through that I didn't have anything for salad, so I took out the very studded onion (odd, that) and replaced it with cut up celery, onion & 2 more carrots. I also increased to 2 tomatoes at end. I highly recommend making a broth of something & using it instead of water. You could use turkey, chicken, goose, duck, pheasant, or whatever. The important thing is to be sure the broth is good, since everything else takes on the flavor. Don't know how this would work in a slow cooker, but mine got done in about 7 hours, total.
To the cook who asked about cooking it in the oven, yes, you can. The "high" setting usually corresponds to 300F, and the "low" setting is usually around 200F. Use the same cooking times as in the recipe. HTH!
Amazing! I made this in the crock pot (1 hour on high then slow the remaining 5 hours) I followed the recipe to A t. The cloves really give a special flavour. Yum! I had to strain the meat out as it is watery in the crock pot. I am thinking that in the oven thee would be less liquid and it would be thicker. I will try the oven next time. Great french dish.
I used liquid from cooked beans, some beef stock and white wine rather than water. Excellent!
Something went way wrong here. This cassoulet was not good. The water never cooked off in the crock pot and consequently all flavour from the bacon, sausages, etc. was washed out. Really unfortunate and expensive dish.

Than I had an idea of buying fake plants (from cheap 2 dollar shops) and glueing them in pots to place beside jumps.
Than ill use the barrels that are not rusted and ill paint them.
Ok so any one have any more ideas ?
Im not sure how to decorate jump wings without making them unsafe.

A channel is what installs to your Wii menu, therefore a forwarder is a channel. A full channel with the .dol installed in it is suppose to be independent of a storage device (SD/USB), but now a days just about all apps, including emulators, require additional files on the storage device. That kind of makes a full channel redundant, since the storage device is required anyways.
When using a forwarder, the application is easily updated, just replace the boot.dol that is on the SD card. When using a full channel, to update you need to remove the channel and find a new updated version of the channel, and with some of the emulators they want to do an automatic update thru Wifi, which can create problems if you are using the same outdated channel every time.
The SD Card cannot be in the Wii until after it finds the .dol or .elf in your HDD.Originally Posted by avisioncame
"Macs are the Perfect Computers," said the Perfect Idiot.
So, I should install the .wad first, then take out the SD card after reboot, and then run the channel? I think I have done this and it still gives me a black screen stating: Could not locate SD card or something along those lines, and restarts.
Maybe I have one of these "rare" channels, the only thing is, it was the only one I could find for Genesis Plus.
I am doing some work on the Wii tonight and will post my results. Thanks again everyone for sticking with me.

This, my friends, is a piece of 3D-printed bacon that goes on forever. It has no beginning, no end, and only one side, so there's nowhere for the bacon-y flavor to hide. So why is it only 'almost' the answer to everything? Just one simple, blasphemous reason: it's vegan.

Home » Corporate » News Releases » 2011 » 10.10 - TG4 confirms 6 Way Presidential Candidate Debate
The Presidential Election campaign will take on an added dimension at TG4 Headquarters next Tuesday as candidates in the race for election of Uachtarán na hÉireann come face to face in a bilingual television debate, Áras 2011. Dana Rosemary Scallon will be the only absentee, having declared she has another commitment on that date. The hour-long debate will be moderated by TG4's current affairs presenter, Páidí Ó Lionáird and will air at 7pm on Tuesday 18th October (with a repeat broadcast later that night at 11.05pm).
TG4's three-way Irish language Leaders' Debate during the General Election, was a huge success with an audience reach of over 500,000 people for the tv transmissions and over 30,000 viewers accessing it on www.tg4.tv
The channel was keen to provide a meaningful candidates' debate during the Presidential Election also. Accordingly, and bearing in mind the varying degrees of fluency in Irish of the various candidates, it devised an inclusive format for the debate.
Each candidate will make an opening statement in Irish. This will be followed by a 40 minute debate with candidates using Irish or English as they prefer. The debate will conclude with a short closing statement in Irish by each candidate. (The debate will be pre-recorded earlier in the day to allow for subtitling).
TG4 Leascheannasaí, Pádhraic Ó Ciardha welcomed candidates' confirmation of their willingness to participate in this debate. "We are delighted to have devised another innovative and inclusive television debate for a major election", he said, "and we see it as an important contribution to the overall public discourse during a campaign which ends with the Irish electorate voting directly to choose a Head of State. We look forward to welcoming the participants to Baile na hAbhann and to affording this opportunity to viewers to assess their abilities".

Facebook challenges Skype. The news is moving along the web. Marck Zuckeberg is launching his own VoIP phone service. Since next March,each user of the popular social network,will be able to chat or directly call his friends, making a video call by his own webcam. It's a real communication revolution!
The circle closes: Facebook is about to become the uttest service in the world for communications. With 500 million users all around the worls, it's going to shake down the bases of the telecom giants.
Verizon, China Telecom, Deutsche Telekom, AT&T, Telefonica and Vodafone, the biggest telecommunications companies in the world, in the last day of trading, have recorded a huge stocks crash, which has been defined "extraordinary" by Bloomberg.
This crash may not be accidental, but closely linked to the revolutionary novelty that Facebook is going to introduce next March.
The news appeared for the first time yesterday, January 29th, on some of the most important and well-informed magazines, as FastCompany and BusinessInsider. As them, we bring this news to people's attention,but we find ourselves also pretty surpised, because this idea comes unexpected, if we think about the recent agreement between Facebook and Skype, which was about the migration of identities from the first to the second.
Facebook's announcement is devastating and seems to be a solo initiative, coming directly from Mark Zuckerberg himself, as rumors are saying.
We look forward to this amazing revolution.
