ICD-10-CM & ICD-10-PCS Books, Data and Software
ICD-10 code books, draft data files and software will get you ready by the October 1, 2015 deadline.
The ICD-10 coding system is scheduled to replace the ICD-9 coding system. The ICD-10 coding system system consists of two separate code sets. ICD-10-CM is the diagnosis code set which will replace ICD-9-CM Volume 1. ICD-10-PCS is the procedure code set which will replace ICD-9-CM Volume 3.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has finalized the ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS conversion date as October 1, 2015. Until that time, all health providers and payers need to continue to use up-to-date current coding year ICD-9-CM books.
There will not be an ICD-10 delay like last year.
The US Senate repealed the Medicare Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) formula without any mention of an ICD-10 delay, assuring the ICD-10 implementation date will be October 1, 2015. Last year, the House leadership slid a last minute rider into the SGR legislation, which was the third delay to ICD-10 in six years!

Update: Also no surprise: in addition to Once Upon a Time, ABC has renewed Castle, Revenge, Grey's Anatomy, Modern Family, The Middle, and Suburgatory too.
The fates of other shows haven't been determined yet though we'll be a little surprised if Happy Endings, Private Practice, and Apt 23 aren't renewed (and more than a little surprised if Body of Proof is). Based on previous years, I'd guess most, if not all of the ABC renewals and cancellations will be out of the way by the end of the day Friday.
original post:
Once Upon a Time executive producer and co-creator Adam Horowitz just tweeted the following:
It's official --
#OnceUponATime has been picked up for season 2. Thank you all so much for watching, we're beyond thrilled to continue on!
Another one that wasn't ever in doubt. No word on the episode order yet, but it's surely a full season. Finally an ABC renewal!

Thanks for posting this, Andie! The crockpot method sounded familiar to me.
I posted a recipe I got from my neighbor and it is delicious. It is far more complex in flavor than the sweetened condensed milk stuff.
I took some to an eGullet potluck a couple of years ago and everyone who tasted it thought it was great.
Dulce de Leche from scratch.
But what if you don't have access to the goat milk the recipe calls for? Can you use regular milk instead? I know it won't taste the same...

The operative term here is "simmer". Not boil. Boiling raises the internal temperature to 212, which causes steam. Steam make things go boom. Simmering at a lower temperature takes longer, but it is safe, as long as you do not reach the boiling point.
I may be misunderstanding you here, but the boiling point of sweetened condensed milk is going to be a bit higher than the 212F water in the water bath, for at least two reasons. First, the addition of sugar (SCM is about 40% sugar) causes a boiling-point elevation (boiling points always raise when more solute is added to a solution). Second, as the content of the can heats up, the pressure inside increases, and the increased pressure also causes a boiling-point elevation. I'm pretty sure therefore that its not possible to bring sweetened condensed milk to a boil in a water bath. A simmer will be safer than a boil, but only because the pressure inside the can is going to be proportional to the temperature of its contents, and the lower the pressure, the lower the risk that the container will fail.

Posted 11 October 2006 - 04:31 PM
so what are all the uses for dulche de leche. I'd like to use it in my cake shop but don't know exactly how its used in desserts....something authentic mexican.
Generally speaking, instead of 'dulce de leche,' Mexicans use cajeta and they usually just buy it rather than making it from scratch.
I see you're in Nebraska, but don't know where, so don't know if you can find authentic Mexican cajeta where you are. It's a VERY popular Mexican item, so if you have any Mexican markets at all, they should carry it. It even comes in squeeze bottles, handy for drizzling over pound cake, or ice cream, or sliced apples, or bananas, or spread on toast, or served in a chafing dish for caramel fondue, or heated and ladled over dessert crepes. Look for 'Coronado' brand. It's the most readily available in the US.
And here's a recipe I got from a Mexican friend. It's for a very spectacular and delicious 'special occasion' cake.
You can either use your favorite chocolate cake recipe, or a packaged cake mix, depending upon how much time you have, personal preference, etc.
Chocolate Flan Cake
1 box chocolate cake mix, or 1 batch of your favorite chocolate cake recipe
1 10.9-oz jar cajeta (pref Coronado brand, or other good, authentic, goat's milk brand)
1 can sweetened condensed milk
½ C whole fresh milk
1 large can evap milk
8-oz cream cheese, room temp
1 tsp good-quality vanilla
5 eggs
¼ cup sugar
Preheat oven 350. Prepare chocolate cake batter, either from favorite recipe, or from a boxed chocolate cake mix.
Soften cajeta in microwave and pour into large greased bundt pan. Pour prepared cake batter into pan.
Prepare flan: Pour flan ingredients into blender or food processor. Mix well. Pour flan very slowly and evenly over cake batter. Flan will sink through batter. Cover pan tightly with foil. Set bundt pan into larger pan, set on oven rack and slide in. Carefully pour hot water into larger pan to depth of 2". Bake about 2 hours. Remove cake from water and cool 15 minutes. Invert cake quickly onto LARGE platter, and slowly and carefully remove pan. Cajeta will drip down sides of cake.

But what if you don't have access to the goat milk the recipe calls for? Can you use regular milk instead? I know it won't taste the same...
Sure. You can use any kind of milk. Cajeta is traditionally made with 100% goat milk. I happen to like the flavor with half and half, but many people use only cow's milk. A friend who raises sheep for their milk makes it with ewe's milk. I have tasted it and it is very good also.
I have seen and tasted one batch that was made using powdered whole milk, which is not easy to find. It was okay but I wouldn't make it on purpose if fresh milk was available.

I have a question on the taste of it though.
I simmered for 4 -5 hours.. very thick...BUT the milk taste a bit sour!!!!
Does this make sense?
I need this for the banoffi pie etc...what should be the right consistency.
It should be quite thick, isn't it?...so that you can cut the pie neatly without theDDL oozing out.
Please advice.

It should never be sour. The uncooked sweetened condensed milk is extremely sweet to begin with and never sour at all. Was the can damaged? Dented? The seam damaged?
I know, the milk is definitely sweet.
The can was in a perfect shape. nothing punctured.
It was just a tint of the sourness, something you can feel at the tip of your tongue.
I will try simmering a few cans and taste them at defferent period of simmering.
In the meantime, if amyone has the answer for this, kindly enlighten me.
I will update you on my findings soon,
Posted 01 November 2006 - 04:45 AM
Um - disclaimer - I have not personally had a can explode, nor do I know of anyone who has. That doesn't mean it won't! But I do cover the can fully with water and make sure it stays that way.
I have had a can explode. I had a long phone call and forgot about topping up the water in the pot. There was an almighty bang and sticky, semi-caramelized, condensed milk went everywhere. And I do mean everywhere.
It took me hours to clean up the mess.

Perhaps i've been lucky, but have never had a problem with it this way. Of course, it's a fresh dulce meant to be eaten relatively quickly, as it's high Aw doesn't lend itself to long term shelf stability...
Adding a little bit of something with phosporous during cooking can help you create deeper flavors/colors more quickly if the 3 hour boil step doesn't work for you.

Thanks Sebastien! I know about the condensed milk way-although Ihtough 2 hours was the time required. Anyway, I have difficultyfinding condensed milk here. The supermarkets carry one that has added vegetable oils and it is YUCKY!! So anyway, 3 hours? Okay Iwill goto aspecialtystore to see if they carry condensed milk. I still want to get it right the authentic way.
Hongda thanks- I will check that link!
Any asian stores around? They usually have classic condensed milk.

Yup, they use a lot of condensed milk as an ingredient and tend to have it readily available in their stores.
Hi!! Well about an hour north of me- same as where the specialty stores are. I guess I will go and stock up one of these days, and get other things to make life easier- like bought invert, glucose and corn syrup...

Try substituting 1 cup of cream for 1 cup of the milk.
I tried a couple of times to make it with lower fat milk and had significant development of sugar crystals around the edges and the end result was grainy.
Personally, I don't like the condensed milk version, although it is much easier than making it from scratch, I don't think the end result has as much flavor, however that is just me and I wouldn't bother making it myself because the commercial stuff is available in almost every local store because of the large Hispanic population here.

No need to strain it.
I taste it to know when it is finished. It should be a deep caramel color, tending toward brown - actually a sort of chestnut color is preferred by my neighbor, who taught me the recipe and process.
When I get back home tomorrow afternoon, I will consult with Celia to see if she has a fix for the grainy problem. (I'm in New Mexico.)
I've never had it turn out that way - I have burnt it and ended up with a burnt-sugar flavor but it was never grainy.
It is possible you introduced a little water into the batch near the end? That is the only think I can think of that would cause it to seize or become grainy.
(That is why you never want to cover the container in which it is cooked.)

When I make it, I use a thick alumnium bottomed pan and place it on one of my small burners on just slightly above the very lowest heat. I have an old an electric stove that has two large burners, and two small burners, and is fairly strong. I leave it on just above the lowest heat, stirring every hour or two for about 6 hours, or until there is some definite browness and is starting to get thicker at which point I remove the vanilla bean. When it starts to get fairly thick (say not too long after it will coat the back of a spoon) I turn the heat down to its lowest and stir more frequently; say every half hour. For me to get good thickness (say the thickness of high fat greek yogurt) it takes me another 2-4 hours after I've removed the vanilla bean, and it gets very dark, about the shade of dark chocolate. I could probably get the right thickness before its that caramelized if i used higher heats eariler, but i've never tried it that way. Mine is very good, very deep and complex flavor that easily beats out any commercial kinds i've tried.
I can't imagine it'd be easy compare when yours was grainy. Did you try what I suggested? Reheating it slowly with a small amount (say 20% of total volume) of milk while mixing thoroughly, and then continuing to reduce until it is the right consistency?

No I haven't tried it yet but I will tomorrow. There isn't much to lose! And I will try it from scratch also. The vanilla bean goes in whole- not cut at all? I think part of the crunchiness was all the seeds (yeah I know... excuses excuses!). My next effort after perfecting DDL will be alphahoras! Any good recipes?!

Alfajoras - I spelled it incorrectly! It is an Argentinam cookie- I think made with corn starch in addition to regular wheat flour. It is a sandwich cookie with DDL in the middle. Itis very light and fluffy and then the side are rolled in toasted coconut.

I'm a HUGE Dulce De Leche fan... gimme a container of it and a spoon and you'll see it disappear in 10 minutes.
I have tried just about every brand they sell here, and believe me, none comes closer to the Conaprole brand dulce de leche from Uruguay.
Unfortunately they don't sell it here, so every time I go to Uruguay I bring back 4-5 jars of it.
I've seen it sold on eBay a few times, and also this online store seems to sell it:
If you ever have the chance to get some of it, by all means do... it's amazing.
As for the sandwich cookies, the correct name is Alfajores, and there's tons of varieties. Probably the most famous Argentinian brand of Alfajores is Havanna ( http://www.havanna.com.ar/ ). They are yummy.
Here in Buenos Aires you have about 20 different options of Alfajores when you go to the supermarket. If you wanna take a look at what's available, go here:
Click on "Saltear Introduccion". Then click on "Ingresar Como Invitado". Then, on the left pane, open "Panaderia y Golosinas" > "Golosinas" > "Alfajores".
Another type of alfajores is "Alfajores De Maicena" (cornstarch alfajores). They are crumbly and delicious. If you want a good recipe for them, let me know and I'll post it here.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced the first round of awards under the new Commercial Equipment Direct Assistance Program (CEDAP) on May 19.
Among 214 police jurisdictions across the country, Helper City received a grant for a thermal imager and training in a contract valued at $12,500.
The thermal imager senses heat, not light, and conveys relative temperature levels when encountering objects. A change in contrast and brightness is indicative of relative temperature level.
The next thermal imaging training session is scheduled for June 16 in Washington, D.C. The program includes eight hours of hands-on instruction. Transportation, lodging and three meals are covered by DHS. Helper Police Chief George Zamantakis will go to Washington for the training.
The awards by DHS provide equipment for communications interoperability, information sharing, chemical detection, sensor devices, and personal protective equipment to 214 jurisdictions throughout the nation. Equipment awarded totals $2,044,680.
The FY 2005 Appropriations Act directed DHS to assist selected smaller jurisdictions by providing antiterrorism equipment and technology. Awards are being made to law enforcement and emergency responder agencies not currently funded through the Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI).
"CEDAP provides equipment and training to jurisdictions across the country as part of a unified effort- from urban to rural areas - to build sustainable capabilities in the fight against terrorism," said Matt A. Mayer, Acting Executive Director of the Office for State and Local Government Coordination and Preparedness.

Agriculture & Food
Nothing is more basic to human well-being than having enough nutritious food to eat. Yet one in every eight people in the world — 842 million — are trapped in a cycle of hunger and poverty.
The reality is that most of the world doesn't have the benefit of picking up food from the corner store — they grow it themselves. Hunger is a crisis when disaster ruins the harvest. It is a cycle when families cannot grow or buy enough to lead healthy, productive lives, and when the effects of malnutrition are passed on to the next generation.
When food shortages occur due to drought and conflict, Mercy Corps helps prevent hunger and treat malnutrition in the most vulnerable — children, pregnant women, the elderly and the displaced. We distribute vouchers, cash or emergency rations, working with local suppliers to speed delivery, save money and boost local economies.
In addition to emergency responses, we focus on long-term solutions that build future food security.
Mercy Corps helps farmers manage their land, increase their harvests and diversify crops to produce a larger, more nutritious, and stable food supply. By teaching nutrition and hygiene, we ensure families can utilize their resources to boost their health. And we connect farmers with new markets and introduce more efficient methods of tending productive livestock and processing and storing crops to increase incomes for years to come.
All stories about Agriculture & Food
Uganda: Rain, rain, come and stay
This morning at 5 am I rolled over in bed and grumpily wondered why I had woken up. My bad mood was washed away as I realized what had roused me from sleep. A low distant rumble, the soft sound of a slight drizzle on the tin roof of the guest house in Pader — it was raining!
Tajikistan: A fragile peace is shaken
A global partnership to end hunger
Today's announcement of a new $3.5-billion investment in agriculture programs over a three-year period demonstrates the Obama administration's leadership on ending global hunger.
Petition to fight world hunger
More than one billion people went to bed hungry last night. Chances are they will go to bed hungry tonight as well — even though the world produces enough food to feed every man, woman and child in the world.
One billion are hungry
Last week the UN announced that the number of people suffering from hunger now totals one billion worldwide.
Afghanistan: Renewing a family's dream of land
Kosovo: More than run-of-the-mill progress
The village of Milosheva is a pastoral community of 10,000 residents in the heart of central Kosovo's agricultural lands. It is a typical Kosovo village: still recovering from the conflict of 1999, with high unemployment and few income-earning opportunities for residents.
Tajikistan: From tomatoes to empowerment
While we're spending this month focused entirely on the transport and distribution of wheat flour, lentils and oil to nearly 5,000 women, it's actually a small component of USAID and Mercy Corps' Single Year Assistance Program (SYAP) here.
The multiplier effect of wine
I have to admit, one of my favorite field visits involved moderate intoxication, plates of sausage and gales of hearty laughter.
Tajikistan: It's lunchtime!
Working out in the field is exhilarating for so many reasons. It's a chance to see the program in action; to meet with locals and hear their stories; and to take in the stunning landscape that this country offers so effortlessly. Oh, and then there's lunch.

Thomasville, NC
too thin and too large
Extremely thin and clingy - more nightgown than dress. The fabric is similar to the modal t-shirts - not enough weight to drape, so it grips every nook and cranny. This one's going back.
Waterford, MI
Too large
I ordered this dress but was not happy with the material or fit. It was too large, but I won't be reordering. I really didn't like the way it fit and didn't think it would be improved in another size.
Lansing, MI
Attractive and comfortable
I bought this dress because it was inexpensive. But it is so pretty and the color is chic.
Philadelphia, PA
Buy more than ONE!
Last year I bought this dress in the three colors available in my size (dark blue, persimmon and pink). This year I saw the dress again, and bought two more colors (sea glass and royal blue)! What beautiful colors! I am 5'3" and about 140 pounds. I usually wear size 10. My chest is a D. I have bought both the Medium and Petite Medium of this dress, and both sizes look fantastic! Wash and wear - no wrinkles - so many compliments!Thank you Chadwicks of Boston!!

Nice Color
Ordered it in Sea Glass which was very pretty, but the material was so thin it looked like I had my nightgown on. I had to send it back.

I really like this dress. I had to attend a party in 90 degree weather and this was perfect. It's so soft and thin but not too thin, and fits well. I bought mine in blue, and there was no see-through. I don't know about the lighter colors though. I stayed cool in the hot weather and loved the dress. Got many compliments.
I orderd the royal blue and loved the color which was much more vibrant than the picture. The fabric is soft and hangs well and doesn't cling to those lumpy areas we all want to hide. It is roomy yet not too. I liked it so much I ordered another in a different color:)
I ordered this dress a few years ago in black and it has been my go to dress for almost everything. Just received this in Royal Blue.Well, it's more purple than royal, but I am fair skinned with dark hair so that's not too bad. I agree with the lady who was disappointed. The material is thin, compared to my black one. Also, it arrived in a plastic bag and is wrinkled beyond wearing. I will have to run it thru the delicate cycle and hang it up. I had planned to wear it to a wedding in 4 weeks, but now not so sure now. Kind of cheap looking.

Cute style and color, but the fabric was so thin it was unwearable. When I looked in the mirror at the back, there were panty lines that shouldn't have been there with such a full dress. I'm returning it.

Chadwicks is Champ!
I have purchased several dresses from CHADWICKS in the past several years, and you have never been BETTER with your super selections!The Chadwick "buyers" deserve loads of kudos.....your choice of dresses are always classy, lively, and quite affordable. And in this day and age, that's important. Very, very seldom do I see a "cheesy" or "dowdy" looking dress in your catalogs. I am strictly a "dress" wearer, so you can understand why all of this is so important to me! Thanks, Chadwicks, for a great selection this year....and I'm already looking forward to what your FALL selection will be offering!

Soft fabric
I have purchased several dresses this year from Chadwicks, and this is another winner. The fabric is really soft, and came out of the dryer wrinkle free. I bought the navy and it looks good with pearls, very classic. I may order another color. The only thing, which may or may not be a negative, is that it is loose in front and hides my slim figure. In other words, you could get away with this dress in early pregnancy. The fabric is thin but in the navy it is not see through.

Love the Dress
I love this dress. It fits great and has a flattering fit. I wear mine to work and to church- it is comfortable and I have received a lot of compliments. I love "summer" dresses, because you can dress them up or down, and this dress is very versatile. I live in the south where the temperatures in the summer get very warm- I am glad for the lightweight fabric and great fit.
Columbus, MS
This is a very lovely, easy dress to wear. Easy to care for. Kept blue and navy in a petite. There was a slight variation in length one being longer than the other by an inch. Fabric on Navy developing some pilling after 5 washings. Ordered the Berry which looked nice on line but in person was not as bright a pink as depicted. It looked more like a light mauve, disappointing - sent it back.

Wonderful dress
This a great fitting comfortable dress. I got it in lime and wore mine to church with a white denim jacket and got so many compliments. Love this dress! I think I'll order it in one of the other colors.
Calhoun City, MS
Love this dress!!!
This is a great dress!!! I ordered one in every color and I can't wait to wear them. The fit is perfect, and it is soooo comfortable. Can be dressed up for an evening look, or worn as shown for a comfortable yet classy look.

From Bill's blog:
The interview this week is with Tim Gagnon (pronounced Gone'-yer). Tim is a fine artist who now lives in Castle Hill, which is just West of Presque Isle. I liked Tim because he's a good guy. He starred in basketball at Washburn High School and still follows the team closely. He started selling his art on You Tube. When the recession hit in 2008, he sold fewer paintings for less money. So, he got creative again and started selling art lessons on line. He has six thousand people from all over the world subscribing to his website. It seems like a lovely hobby to get involved with.

Opponents gear up to battle Northern Gateway pipeline
From Kitimat to Victoria, opponents are preparing to fight the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline proposal, after it was given federal approval Tuesday.
A group of B.C. aboriginal communities issued a statement Tuesday vowing to go to court to protect their aboriginal title and rights on the land affected by the twin pipeline and tanker port for diluted bitumen on Douglas Channel.
Aboriginal opponents in the North Coast region include the Haida, Gitgaat, Heiltsuk and Haisla First Nations, as well as communities in the B.C. Interior.
Haisla Chief Councillor Ellis Ross, whose community is at the end of Douglas Channel and who is involved in a natural gas export project, said it is too late for more consultations.
"Every mistake they've made we actually pointed out to them and said 'this is not following our case law principles, you're making a mistake'," Ross said Tuesday. "But they went ahead and did it. It is going to be court."
Northern Gateway project leader Janet Holder said she will continue to work to build on the 26 equity agreements the company has reached with aboriginal communities along the proposed pipeline route.
Kitimat Mayor Joanne Monaghan said her council has made its opposition clear, after an April community vote that came down opposed to the project.
"I think most of the councillors are of the opinion that they really don't want to see bitumen going down the channel," Monaghan said. "They would rather have it refined and have a product that's refined going down the channel."
B.C. NDP leader John Horgan said he wants resource development that creates jobs in B.C., particularly for aboriginal communities. Horgan said the B.C. Liberal government gave up its opportunity to oppose Northern Gateway.
B.C. Environment Minister Mary Polak rejected that claim, saying the province gave a clear "no" in its final submission to the federal review panel.
Discussions with Alberta, Enbridge and oil producers continue to see if B.C.'s conditions for land and ocean protection as well as a "fair share" of benefits for B.C. can be met, Polak said.

It was recently announced that the text CS service of Cellular South would be made available to all Advance Pay and unlocked smartphone subscribers. Through this service it would become possible for customers of Cellular South to ask any questions to representatives through text messages. Suchquestions would then be answered by the representatives, again through text. Says a representative of Cellular South, "We make it a point to answer any queries a customer might have via text within 5 minutes of receiving it. Should the answer be such that it cannot fit into the 160 character limit of an SMS, we immediately call up the customer to provide a solution to his problem. We might even decide to move the customer to another resource we feel would be able to better serve him. Our text services are available five days a week from Monday till Friday during work hours. This text representative- customer service is really an extension to our previous groundbreaking online Discover Stores through which users could gain access to various knowledge bases and fast customer assistance. We are also planning on introducing a 'Do not text and drive' message in all our communications to spread awareness about the dangers of texting and driving."
In the past, such text based services of asking various questions to representatives was only available to HTC users that had the HTC Unlocked Hero. Although such a service has still not been implemented by Cellular South on Blackberry's, you can expect in near future a similar mechanism. Considering the fact that text messaging has now become the way of life for most users all over the world, it is not at all surprising to find that some carriers are extending such services to even their representatives to aid users. In fact, through such text messaging, it is much easier to get a point across and to answer customers directly.

Clippers 101, Denver 90
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Thu, 11/22/07, 12:28am:
A gutsy, improbable win against a team that came into town with a six-game winning streak. How improbable ? If you threw the active rosters of both squads onto the court and picked teams, the first three players selected would have been Nuggets. At one point in the first quarter, the Clippers lineup on the floor was Brevin Knight, Ruben Patterson, Al Thornton, Paul Davis, and Aaron Williams. And you know what? They managed during that stretch. Patterson and Knight held down Anthony and Iverson respectively, and the Clips kept the wheels on defensively until the scorers could get back on the court. I hate to say it because it's my biggest tactical criticism of Mike Dunleavy, but those perimeter traps destabilized Denver. As good an interior defensive team Denver is, they don't do much in the post on the offensive end. They're a penetrating team. So cordoning them off outside isn't a bad strategy.
Some highlights:
- Denver is a tough matchup for Kaman because, in addition to being the second-ranked defensive team in the league [Boston], they run quick double teams to the low post, giving Kaman very little time to set up and trigger his move. As if Camby isn't long enough, and Martin isn't physical enough, Eduardo Najera can actually defend a 7' 0" center. Kaman appeared very uncomfortable in the first quarter and he tied his season-high for turnovers with five. He also took 11 attempts from the floor tonight, including shots that resulted in trips to the line. So he clearly wasn't able to work as many shots as usual. But he scored 16 points on those 11 attempts, plus one technical shot for a defensive three against Denver. [How insane is that? If I told you two years ago that Kaman would be the guy to shoot technicals - with Mobley and Dan Dickau on the floor in Clipper uniforms, you would've unleashed the butterfly nets].
One of the things that's helping Chris' game offensively is his improvement in passing out of the double-team. Defenders have to be a little less decisive when they know that, if they double a big, there's a good chance he's going to find the open man and kick it out to him. Last season, Chris was a black hole down low - the rock would go into him and it would never be seen again. This season, the offense revolves around Kaman...literally. There's still a lot of work being done off the ball when Kaman has it down low. Why? Because Chris is commanding double-teams and this effectively creates open space on the perimeter and the weak side. When guys fill space, that creates scoring opportunities. And if Chris can find these guys, it makes for good basketball. The player who receives the ball on the kickout might not be the man who ultimately scores, but something will materialize. With Chris not holding the ball inside so long, there's plenty of time to reset and quickly find a mismatch resulting from what's happening down low.
Favorite Kaman set of the night [3rd, 2:41]: The Clips are up nine. Najera is on Kaman as Chris tries to set up just off the right mid-post. As Dickau brings it up, Thornton dives toward the hole, then does a little wing cut, driving his man [Anthony] into a Kaman down screen as Thornton moves to the perimeter. Anthony runs through the screen and catches up to Thornton, just as Al receives the rock back up top from Dickau. Thornton dumps it into Chris in the post, then cuts to the basket right behind Chris - but can't really shake Anthony [who is a much better defender than he was a couple of seasons ago]. Kaman tries to back down Najera, but decides with :10 to shoot it back to Dickau and repost - which is exactly what he does. When Dickau returns the ball to Kaman, the double-team comes quickly in the form of J.R. Smith. With only :06 left on the shot clock, Kaman finds Thornton on the weak side perimeter, where he's circled. The Denver defense has sagged over and low toward Kaman. Over a smothering double-team, Kaman hits Thornton from across the floor. Thornton puts a beautiful ball-fake on Anthony, dribbles in and takes a 15-foot jumper that falls.
Never underestimate what a quality big man in the pivot can do for an offense.
- This game was won on the defensive end of the floor. Across the board, the team defense was stellar tonight. Given how Denver divides the court with Iverson and Anthony, it's imperative for opponents to maintain balance and not gamble too much because there's absolutely no time to recover. Because Iverson, Anthony and Smith can fill lanes so quickly, you almost have to have a zone mentality, even as you're patrolling a man-to-man. Watching the game again right now, the Clippers are quick to recover all night. Even Tim Thomas does a nice job [save one set in the 4th, when he totally forgets about Camby on a back cut]. Denver missed a lot of open looks, but the Clippers did a nice job of closing out throughout the game.
- Quinton Ross hit three 3PM. Prior to tonight, he had four in his pro career. He went 7-11 from the floor and 3-4 from beyond the arc for a total of 17 points. He also locked down Carmelo Anthony down the stretch in the fourth, after Patterson went back to the bench, allowing Anthony only one FGM on his watch. Ross needs to hit open shots this season if the Clippers have a prayer. Tonight he did.
- I thought Dickau did a nice job tonight. He did a lot of that gesturing that point guards do, and he directed some nice S/Rs with Kaman up top. And dare I say that he wasn't a liability defensively tonight, though he drew an easy assignment in Mike Wilks. Nevertheless, Dickau pressured the ball well and didn't blow any rotations. That's all you can ask for.
- The Clippers need a little more from Paul Davis. He's been doing some good work defensively and seems to understand how to trap off a S/R, but he's been a disaster offensively and there will come a point this season when he's going to be called upon to play 25-30 minutes. When that day arises, it would be nice if he could bring that face-up 15-footer with him, along with an ability to finish around the basket.
Whether the defense can sustain this rhythm against a Phoenix team that can actually shoot from the perimeter is another matter. But tonight, a ragtag squad of Clippers beat a much more talented team by executing perfect double-teams and uncanny recoveries with sharp defensive instincts. It was almost miraculous.

MALONE - A grand juror was escorted out of the grand jury chambers Thursday morning in handcuffs by New York State Police.
Paul Jock, Jr. of Lee Road in Bangor was charged with unlawful grand jury disclosure, a class E felony.
Jock was arraigned and sent to the Franklin County Jail with bail set at $5,000 cash or $10,000 bond.
The arrest stems from an ongoing investigation by the NYSP Troop B Narcotics Unit, which led members of the unit to determine that an alleged narcotics trafficker under surveillance was offered information regarding targets of the Franklin County Grand Jury, according to a news release from the Franklin County District Attorneys )ffice.
It added phone call monitoring was part of the investigation, which helped to reveal that alleged targets of the grand jury were being disclosed and notified.
Jock is also alleged to have discussed previous cases presented to the grand jury with people not serving as grand jurors, according to the release.
Two other people were also picked up by the state police Bureau of Criminal Investigation [BCI] investigators based in Malone for questioning, according to the release. It addedthey may face fifth-degree conspiracy charges for their alleged assistance in the unlawful disclosure.
With the investigation into the matter ongoing, its possible that there will be more defendants and charges, the release said.
It really strikes at the core of the grand jury system, District Attorney Derek Champagne said following the arrest. One of the hallmarks of grand jury is its secrecy.
He noted the disclosure of grand jury information will not affect any investigations, adding that law enforcement found out about the matter almost immediately.
Mr. Champagne said his office has not dealt with Jock before.
If Jock is convicted of the crime, he could face up to four years in state prison, the DA noted.
Disclosure of grand jury material has only happened twice since Mr. Champagne has been district attorney, he said. During the other incident, a grand juror notified her boyfriend of some of his friends being indicted. She pleaded guilty to the same class E felony charge Jock faces and ws sentenced to six months in jail and placed on probation for five years.
Mr. Champagne said that other grand jurors witnessed Jocks arrest and does not believe any of them are involved with the disclosure.
He also spoke of the importance of keeping grand jury proceedings secret in the news release, noting that it is paramount to our system and a violation can not only harm those accused of crimes but it can harm those entirely innocent of crimes and bystanders or family members who are in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The release notes that along with the DAs office, the state police Troop B Narcotics Unit, the Malone BCI Units senior investigator and investigators, and Malone Village Police Chief Chris Premo assisted with the investigation.

Reserve League
The Chicago Fire Reserves ran out 4-0 winners over Marquette Sunday morning at Toyota Park. First teamers, Juan Luis Anangono, Victor Pineda and Orr Barouch all chipped in goals but perhaps the best was Academy product Andrew Gutman's combination with Qudus Lawal on the left to take things to 3-0 in the in 75th minute.
Catch that goal 20 seconds into the video below:
Select shots from Monday's reserve game vs. the New York Red Bulls
In the 87th minute on Saturday night at Toyota Park, the Fire were holding on to a 2-1 lead against Montreal, who were seven points and two playoff positions ahead in the table. Daniel Paladini, who had come on for Alex 25 minutes earlier, set up to take a corner, but there were just two Fire players forward against six or so in blue. Jeff Larentowicz and Quincy Amarikwa were moving around, doing their best to make space, but this was all about the chance to have the ball deep in Montreal's half and relieve some pressure.
Paladini saw Amarikwa a half yard away from his marker at the penalty spot and floated a ball in towards him. Judging from how the ball arrived to Amarikwa at about the height of Montreal center back Hassoun Camara, and considering Camara's listed at 6-2 and Amarikwa at 5-9, the Fire forward's insanely acrobatic bicycle attempt got his feet up to a half-foot above his own head.
Even though Amarikwa whiffed, it was one of those athletic, confident, creative, and opportunistic moments that can define a soccer game because generally, the team that comes out the most athletic, confident, creative, and opportunistic is going to win the games. (Also, Amarikwa made up for the whiff by converting an equally impressive bike in the reserve match on Sunday morning.) It said more, too, that it was a substitute that was making this sort of tone-setting play.
Amarikwa has impressed Fire fans in his cameos this season because of his work rate, willingness to take defenders on, and his creative spontaneity on the ball (even if that means sometimes he holds onto it for a bit too long). Those were exactly the traits the Fire needed to get maximum points at home on Saturday, a critical result that leaves the team now just two points out of a playoff spot. Even though he didn't have the impact on the game, Amarikwa's work was symbolic of that of the whole team.
In the third game in eight days, with Mike Magee and Chris Rolfe day-to-day, Patrick Nyarko out, Dilly Duka picking up a new knock every game, new DP Juan Luis Anangono acclimating to MLS, Logan Pause coming back from injury, and the pressure for points greater than it's been all season following Wednesday's Open Cup exit, the Fire came out on Saturday with a new look to them.
BTL: Fire 2.0 earns key point in Houston
As two deeper lying midfielders, Pause and Larentowicz haven't found their rhythm together this season, but this time Frank Klopas put them out with Alex (who took the spot when Pause got injured) pushed forward with Anangono. The wide players were the same (Joel Lindpere and Duka), but the seemingly minor adjustment of adding Pause and pushing Alex farther forward actually provided the Fire the first fresh tactical look seen since the spring.
And it was a solid system, too, because it morphed from a 4-5-1 with Alex dropping deeper during periods of Montreal possession, into the usual Fire 4-4-2 when the Fire won the ball, with Alex pushing on into space with Anangono. They worked well together on certain fast breaks; Anangono showed that he's not afraid to make lung-busting runs to clear out space for others. But as much as the system provided some necessary defensive support without sacrificing the slingshot counterattacking Klopas loves, the game was always going to be decided by the players stepping up into the spaces left by Nyarko, Magee, and Rolfe.
Klopas couldn't have asked for a better response from Lindpere and Duka, the two creative wide players who have fought for their playing time all season, and who scored the two goals. They took their chances (and a bit of luck), but they also held the ball, moved the team forward, tracked back, and generally kept the pace of the game far above the revolting one we saw on Wednesday night.
Saturday night showed the Fire's depth and flexibility in personnel, tactics, and mindset, and it was Amarikwa's bike that showed the Fire's potential for style and spontaneity. If this team is going to complete this massive comeback into playoff contention, it's as much the creativity as it is the grit that's going to take them there and it'll have to come not just from the superstars and leaders, but from everyone on the team.

In the Fire's Reserves first foray into the MLS/USL Pro partnership, the team dropped a 2-1 decision away to the Charlotte Eagles at Queens Sports Complex Friday night.
Led by Fire assistant coach Leo Percovich, the team started eight first team players and three from the club's Development Academy sides, two of which (Jake Taylor and James Myall) slotted in as center backs.
The Fire Reserves took the lead just before halftime. In a play quite similar to Patrick Nyarko's winner in Thursday's Open Cup match vs. Columbus, Michael Videira's cross from the right found Quincy Amarikwa at the back post where he headed past Eric Reed to make it 1-0 in the 42nd minute.
Charlotte responded with a number of chances in the second half outshooting the Fire Reserves 12-0, forcing Paolo Tornaghi into eight second half saves. . They would find their two goals in the span of five minutes as Christian Ramirez equalized in the 70th before Ben Newnam found the winner in the 75th.
Two more Fire Academy products Jeff Farina and Hayden Cochrane made cameo second half appearances, meaning the maximum five Academy players were used in the game. The Fire Reserves fall to 1-4 on the 2013 campaign and will welcome the Eagles to Toyota Park on Saturday, June 29 at 7:30pm (Live webcast on Chicago-Fire.com).

Select shots from the Fire's reserve league win over FC Dallas
Following Sunday's 3-1 win over New York the two club's reserve sides also played. With a lot of injuries, the Fire were forced to field five Academy and one guest player in what we'll call a character-building 6-1 defeat...
I'll be honest, there wasn't much pretty about the game but Fire rookie midfielder Yazid Atouba did reward the fans that stuck around with the beautiful strike. Que Golazo!
Two games for the price of one? Why not?
Following Sunday's first team match between the Fire and Red Bulls, the club is inviting supporters to stick around to catch the an MLS Reserve League match between the two sides.

This study is designed to evaluate the safety of MVA85A in healthy volunteers in the UK who are infected with HIV. In phase I studies, a single vaccination with MVA85A, when administered at a dose of 5 x 10^7pfu intradermally, has been shown to be safe in both mycobacterially naïve individuals, those previously vaccinated with BCG and latently infected individuals. Additionally, 5 x 10^7 pfu MVA containing HIV antigens administered twice, 4 weeks apart, in HIV positive individuals, is safe. We will use 5 x 107 pfu MVA85A intradermally in this study. Subjects will be identified from HIV clinics in the Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals NHS Trust and also from Swindon and Marlborough NHS Trust and St. Mary's Hospital NHS Trust if our recruitment targets are not met.

Utah officials and three local county governments are pleased with a decision rendered last Thursday by the United States 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in an ongoing dispute involving RS-2477 road rights of way.
The U.S. 10th Circuit Court case was between Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management on the one hand and three counties - Kane, Garfield and San Juan - on the other.
The case involved 16 road rights of way the counties assert belonged to the local governments under the federal RS-2477 statute, indicated the Utah Attorney General's Office.
In the decision, a panel of three federal adjudicators unanimously rejected the BLM's administrative determinations that a judge of the Utah district court affirmed in disallowing the roads.
The appellate court ruling stated, however, that the BLM lacked authority to conduct the administrative determinations, pointed out the attorney general's office.
The U.S. 10th Circuit Court rejected numerous standards employed by the BLM determinations, including a requirement that the roads be established by mechanical construction.
The appealate judges also rejected the BLM's contention that a 1910 coal withdrawal, over which some of the roads run, disqualified the area for establishment of RS-2477 roads, noted the attorney general's office.
Instead, the U.S. 10 Circuit Court of Appeals upeld the arguments by the counties that the correct law to apply in determining whether the roads are valid under RS-2477 is Utah law, continued the attorney general's office.
The Utah law cited in connection with the case specifies that continuous use for 10 years prior to 1976 is sufficient to establish an RS-2477 right of way on similar roads at locations across the state.
The decision has been remanded to the district court for complete review under the standards declared in the U.S. 10th Circuit opinion.
"This is a major victory for the counties as well as the State, who have been seeking to establish countywide road systems for general public access," said Ralph Finlayson, assistant attorney general. "This case has been in litigation since 1996, when Kane, Garfield and San Juan counties were accused of trespass for performing maintenance on roads they asserted as their rights of way under the federal law."
"Our legal system sometimes requires patience, but the results are worth the wait. I am very happy with the court's decision and applaud the counties for staying the course despite much unwarranted criticism that often found its way into the media," concluded Finlayson, who represented Kane and Garfield counties in the case.

Chamberlain College of Nursing has a 125-year history of preparing extraordinary nursing graduates.
Our roots go back to the Deaconess tradition of 19th-century Europe. Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing, studied at a Deaconess facility in Germany and later applied the concepts she learned to her nursing practice. In 1889, an evangelical pastor in St. Louis, Missouri, proposed establishing healthcare services based on the Deaconess model to address the needs of the local community. Those services evolved into the Deaconess School of Nursing and, later, the Deaconess College of Nursing.
In March 2005, DeVry Education Group acquired Deaconess. A term of the acquisition agreement required DeVry to change the name of the school. The chosen name, Chamberlain, is derived from the Middle English word "chaumberlein," which means "chief steward" – in recognition of the critical role of the nurse as the central steward and coordinator of patient care.
Today, with pre- and post-licensure programs, a growing network of campuses, and robust online offerings, Chamberlain College of Nursing continues to raise the standard of nursing education and advance healthcare outcomes in communities across the country and around the world.
