Area students got a taste of the Great White Way Saturday when they trained under professional Broadway singer Franc DAmbrosio.
Mr. DAmbrosio, the star of Broadways The Phantom of the Opera and The Godfather III, held a master class Saturday for area students, offering lessons learned from a lifelong career on stage.
As a young performer, Mr. DAmbrosio was invited by Luciano Pavarotti to take opera lessons at his Italian villa. As a way of paying Mr. Pavarottis kindness forward, Mr. DAmbrosio now offers free master classes for students in each town he performs in. Two students from each classone boy and one girlare then invited to sing All I Ask of You from Angel of Music: the Songs of Andrew Lloyd Weber alongside an all-Broadway ensemble.
Seven students attended Fridays audition.
SUNY Potsdam student and English literature major Zachary Kelly, Gouverneur, was selected to play Raul.
I was extremely nervous, Mr. Kelly said. But the vibe set by the four performers including Franc was so warm. Once I got on stage, it was like being at home. I felt comfortable performing and standing in front of all of those people.
Mr. Kelly said the opportunity gave him a renewed sense of self-confidence.
It really just helped solidify who I was as a performer, he said. I go to a school that is connected to highly accredited music program, so that often makes me second guess myself. It was encouraging for me to go there and feel good about my performance.
Mr. Kelly, like Mr. DAmbrosio, said he would one day like to give back with the help of his music.
I am looking into elementary teaching or something along those lines, he said. My friend and I always talked about having our own theater company so that we could bring experiences like this to students. Growing up in Gouverneur, we dont often get opportunities like this.
SUNY Potsdam student Michaela A. Pawluk Mount Sinai, Long Island, was selected to play the part of Christine.
It was amazing to see how kind and talented Franc was, Ms. Pawluk said. Some stars when they become famous have that air about them. But he is so kind, real and humble. It was a wonderful opportunity to meet him and the rest of the Broadway performers.
Ms. Pawluk, who is expected to graduate in 2015 with a degree in early childhood education, said she would like to incorporate music into her classroom.
Sometimes students can learn better and much faster with a song than by staring at a black and white page, she said. Id also like to continue performing and singing as part of a community church choir or theater.
Although she was not chosen for the part of Christine, Mr. DAmbrosio was so impressed with Cecilia E. Snows rendition of George Gershwins Summertime, he asked her to sing the number during Saturdays performance.
It just kind of happened, like a moment from God, she said. I was so blessed the music happened to be there. It was really amazing. I learned so much in just 15 to 20 minutes.
Ms. Snow, a vocal performance major at the Crane School of Music, said she will take Mr. DAmbrosios advice to heart when she begins auditioning for Broadway next year.
I think the biggest thing I took away was something Franc said, she said. The people with the best voices wind up in the ensemble, while the people who can tell a story get the lead roles. It doesnt matter if you are the best singer in the world; you have to be able to communicate with your audience.

...and frankly I find it offensive to my religion (totally ignoring the first I'd Really Rather You Didn't), and I don't think we want to be associated with religions that hold views like that.I'd Really Rather You Didn't Judge People For The Way They Look, Or How They Dress, Or The Way They Talk, Or, Well, Just Play Nice, Okay? Oh, And Get This Through You Thick Heads: Woman=Person, Man=Person. Samey-Samey. One is Not Better Than The Other, Unless We're Talking About Fashion And I'm Sorry, But I Gave That To Women And Some Guys Who Know The Difference Between Teal And Fuchsia.
Roy Hunter wrote:We legalised and equalised same-sex marriage, but in the usual political fudge we gave an exemption to religions who disapprove of homosexuality. They do not have to treat same-sex couples the same as mixed-sex, and can refuse to marry them.
In this country it is against the law for an organisation to discriminate on the basis of sexuality or sexual identity. Unless you are a religion, it appears.
Seeing as Pastafarianism is an egalitarian religion, which treats men, women, straights, gays, lesbians, trans, whatever as equal, I would like to ask for an exemption from the religious exemption. I want us to be obliged to treat same-sex couples the same as mixed-sex couples.
I don't want Pastafarianism to be associated with bigoted and homophobic religions.

Expected, but not required? Could they deny performing the marriage for a straight couple, for whatever reason (that is, not for no reason)?
Qwertyuiopasd wrote:I agree that an exemption is stupid, but I also feel like it would be redundant. Though I'm sure there's some piece of U.K. legality I don't grasp or am not aware of. My question is I guess of practicality: If same sex marriage is as legal as opposite sex marriage (including in terms of weddings/religious marriage)... why would a couple want to be married by a church that didn't want to marry them? Like, when would that come up? If it doesn't, then it seems the exemption is sort of legally superfluous.
Roy Hunter wrote:First thing: the law on equal marriage currently relates to Scotland, not the UK. England and Wales are a bit behind in that, but they are getting there. Northern Ireland is still in the dark ages.
The Equality Act 2010 is UK-wide, it says that people must be treated equally regardless of their sexuality. Now we are re-defining other laws to make that work in practice. Registration of Marriage is a local authority responsibility, therefore devolved to Scotland, Scots law, Scottish legislation. With me so far?
tl;dr version: Scotland is better than England.daftbeaker wrote:No. But then I never follow precisely what differences in legal wording there are north of Gretna.
daftbeaker wrote: You wouldn't accept going into a government building and being told 'sorry, we can't renew your passport because you're straight, you'll have to go to the other building at the other end of the city', why should you accept the same thing with a marriage certificate?
Qwertyuiopasd wrote:I do know that churches saying "But they'll force us to marry teh gays!" is absurd in America, but I suppose that is what could happen in Scotland without the exemption?
daftbeaker wrote:Personally I can't see a religion getting anywhere if we don't start making arbitrary restrictions and hate figures. I nominate stringy cheese as unclean and people that stand in front of train doors as infidels.

Sylvia Plath
Rollie McKenna
On a cold February day in 1963, with her two small children upstairs in their room, Sylvia Plath put her head inside her kitchen oven and turned on the gas. In the wake of her violent death, reams of material have been published, analyzing her life and work, the most famous being "The Bell Jar." She has been dismissed as a case study in female neurosis and Freudian guilt, held up as a victim of a male-dominated society, enshrined as a tragic heroine (''a Dido, Phaedra or Medea,'' in Robert Lowell's words), explicated as a symbol of contemporary angst.
Plath, herself, of course, left us a remarkably contradictory gallery of self-portraits. While her correspondence with her mother (published in 1975 as ''Letters Home'') gave us a willfully sunny portrait of the young poet as an all-American girl, collecting admirers and beaus as swiftly as she piled up straight A's and honors, her journals created a darker, more troubling picture of a woman suspended between the violent emotions of jealousy and anger, a woman given to unforgiving nightmares, terrifying writing blocks and debilitating depressions. The poems (particularly the posthumously published ones in ''Ariel'' and subsequent volumes) were more lacerating still: here, she has become a vampire, a doomed Electra, a ''Lady Lazarus,'' eating ''men like air.'' Nearly a half-century after his mother died, Nicholas Hughes, 47, killed himself at his home in Alaska on March 16, 2009. — Michiko Kakutani

(NBCNC) - If you're fed up with all the gridlock in Washington, you're not alone - and this morning we have some new numbers to prove it.
Our recent polls showed people have been very frustrated with what's not happening here in Washington. This latest poll that came out at midnight shows that feeling getting worse.
President Obama heads to Illinois and Missouri today to talk about the economy. "The President is going to say we should have the government spend more money on many different things and we should raise taxes to pay for it," said Grover Norquist, Americans for Tax Reform.
"I have, speaking for myself, no interest in reopening the subject of additional taxes," said Senate Minority Leader, Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY).
Today's speech is an attempt to shift the focus from Washington's gridlock. "Bottom line: the American public is really down on Washington, D.C. right now," said Senior Political Editor, NBC News, Mark Murray.
Our new NBC-Wall Street Journal poll overnight gives the president a 45% approval rating - only 1 point from his lowest ever.
For Congress, it's even worse - only 12% of Americans think they're doing a good job. That's a new low. 83 % disapprove - that's an all-time high.
Nearly six in ten said given the chance, they'd get rid of every single member of congress - deadlocked on key issues like immigration. "It's like: 'Give us a vote, dudes,'" said Frank Sharry, America's Voice
Now there are threats of a government shutdown as the budget debate begins. Plus, we're expected to hit the debt ceiling again this fall. "We're not going to raise the debt ceiling without real cuts in spending, it's as simple as that," said House Speaker John Boehner, (R) Ohio.
"We are not negotiating on the debt ceiling." Senate Majority Leader, Senator Harry Reid (D-NV).
More gridlock - and new numbers showing America more frustrated than ever.

Ahoy dudes. The wise and starchy Second Council of Olive Garden is searching for holy scripture to be added to the Loose Canon. The Council is only accepting stuff the fits the whole FSM thing, so no hate-mongering, supporting things that obviously contradict our teachings, or general douchey stuff. Also, I'm a lazy man, so number your verses.
What we need here is a story with a focus on prophecy, whether it be yours or if you want to make up a fictional prophet to write about. They definitely should sound pretty crazy. The ancient scribe Solipsy had some good things to say about this:
"No rules! Just a suggestion for this thread: If you've had a vision or conversion experience, taken a "trip" of any sort *ahem* that has led you to new insight, or have some other kind of "story" about how you were Touched By His Noodly Appendage, you might want to include it here. (Think: The Book of Your Name Here. might want to have some length to it.?)
If it's really late at night and you're in that mental state where everything is funny, or you're on or off of your happy psychiatric medication, or have imbibed legal beverages to your heart's content, or engaged in other activities which are your own dang business, that would be the perfect time to visit this thread and add stuff. Or, if you just feel like being a goofball."

SDSU wins again
The South Dakota State women's tennis team continued its successful weekend with a 4-3 win at Northern Iowa in its second dual of the weekend.
The Jacks, now 4-5 on the season, needed every last match to secure the dual win on Saturday in Waterloo, Iowa.
UNI won the doubles point in dramatic fashion. After an 8-0 win at the top spot, the two teams played tiebreakers to determine the other two doubles matches.
Beatriz Souza and Florencia Magni won at No. 3 by an 8-7 (7-5) score. Unfortunately for SDSU, the Panthers won the No. 2 match in an extended tiebreaker, 10-8.
Because of the doubles outcome, SDSU needed to win four of the six singles matches. And that is exactly what happened.
The Panthers won at No. 1 in straight sets and No. 3 in a full third set, but those were the only UNI wins.
Ffion Davies lined up at No. 2 and showed great resilience in a three-set win. Davies was shutout in the first set, but bounced back for a 6-4 win in the second. In the third, the two played even and decided the match in a tiebreaker. Davies scored a mini-break and held for a 7-6 (7-4) win.
The other SDSU players were straight-set winners.
Souza was pushed at No. 4, but won the first-set tiebreaker 7-6 (7-5) and won the second set by one break of serve. Tacy Haws-Lay and Brooke Henry were 6-1, 6-0 winners at No. 5 and 6, respectively.
"The girls should be so proud of the win today," head coach Michael Engdahl said. "We finally took the big step forward and got the close-match monkey off of our back. Not only that, but the way they bounced back from losing the close doubles point was great. We proved we can win a match in any number of ways and we have the fight and belief. It was a great win and the girls are ready for another big meet tomorrow."
SDSU is back in action in its weekend closer tomorrow versus Green Bay in Waterloo, Iowa. Start time was moved to 9 a.m. due to weather.
1. Phoebe Walker/Krissy Lankelma (UNI) d. Ffion Davies/Jenny Blackburne (SDSU) - 8-0
2. Chelsea Moore/Jessica King (UNI) d. Tacy Haws-Lay/Brooke Henry (SDSU) - 8-7 (10-8)
3. Beatriz Souza/Florencia Magni (SDSU) d. Katie Hammond/Lindsay Cayton (UNI) - 8-7 (7-5)
1. Phoebe Walker (UNI) d. Florencia Magni (SDSU) - 6-2, 6-1

Everyone understands that basketball season is a hectic time for a college coach. It's easy to understand what keeps us busy during the months of November through March-practices, games, road trips, watching film, etc. However, most people don't know what goes on in the life of a coach during the rest of the year. I've had many friends ask, "Now that the season is over, what are you going to do with all your free time?" I thought I would provide some insight into some of the things that we must do to keep our programs running when we aren't playing games. Here's a month-by-month look at the life of a college basketball coach.

Threat to RI economy
To the Editor:
Thank you for printing James O'Neil's letter on the Deepwater Wind project. I was initially in favor of this project, seeing it as a clean source of energy for Rhode Island. As more information has come out, I now see Deepwater Wind as a serious threat to the Rhode Island economy.
The Providence Journal has provided no information on this project. Perhaps your paper can take the lead in keeping Rhode Islanders up to date on this issue.
Thank you once again.

Video: The Buffalo Chips
The University at Buffalo acapella group "The Buffalo Chips" will compete next Saturday night in New York City for a national acapella title, competing against some of the best and most talented voices in the national college community.
The all male group was formed 15 years ago and has competed in competitions but has never made the national contest. The 13 students range in age from 19 to 26 and vary in majors. All of the guys sang in high school with half being from Western New York.
The Buffalo Chips pick their own songs, choreograph their own dance moves and sing everything from John Mayer to Billy Joel and Elvis.
The national competition is Saturday, April 24th, 2010 at 8:00 p.m. in the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. There are 6 teams scheduled to compete.

Fenway West: Drain's Diamond in the Rough
DRAIN, Ore. -- Tucked away among the rolling hills of Jim Maciariello's 60-acre ranch in Drain is a diamond in the rough.
"We were just working 12-hours a day trying to get this thing done, just putting up the walls," Jim explained. "You don't think about how much it is going to cost or any of those types of things, you just start running up to Jerry's and buying a little here and a little there and pretty soon, this thing turned into a monster."
About $7,000 later, this Green Monster of a project became Fenway West, A one-third-scale replica of the oldest ball park in Major League Baseball, Boston's 100-year-old Fenway Park.
"You just feel like the whole rest of the world is out there and you are right here in the baseball park," is how Maciariello described his wiffle ball field gone wild.
The ball yard is the brain child of Jim and his son Ben, who happens to be the Governor of Red Sox Nation in Oregon.
"Ben and I have some epic stories of him and I having meltdowns and yelling at each other out here because we were just trying to get it done," Jim chuckled.
Fenway West opened up on Independence Day 2008 and it keeps progressing.
Jim has plans for a 'press box' area patio to BBQ behind home plate and said, "What everybody always tells me is, 'when are you going to put bleachers up there behind the Green Monster?' I really think we could do it and that would be kind of cool to be able to have people sit back there and drink a few beers."
Family that plays together, stays together and Jim's family is his grounds crew. His daughters chalk the infield, while his son-in-law mows the grass. There's a four-legged mascot and even a Grandson bat boy.
Kevin Wilson sure married into a great family, the head coach of the Douglas High School baseball team feels right at home.
"He didn't do it for some self fulfilled prophecy. He loves it when the kids come out. He built it for that and when you see the kids come out, it's special for sure," Wilson said.
Jim added, "We are not Red Sox fanatics. We love the Red Sox but we love baseball and it is all about family and throwing the ball around and having people just laugh and have fun."
Jim just made his first trek ever to Fenway a couple of weeks back where he also ran in the Boston Marathon. Both had been on his list of 'things to do' for about 20-years.
Jim's father (from Boston) actually raised him as Milwaukee Braves fan (the Braves moved out of Boston in 1952), then Jim jumped over to Red Sox nation when the Braves moved from Wisconsin to Atlanta in 1965.

Today's subject matter-lace-dates way back to the fifteenth century when women wore elaborate headdresses detailed with the patterned cloth. Ever since, it has gone on to impact fashion immensely (ranging from the Victorian era's lace collars to fingerless gloves and biker shorts' trim circa 1985), and we expect its popularity will continue to recycle and reform every few decades. Case in point: it is currently one of our favorite byproducts of the prevailing gothic trend (see Currently Channeling: Tim Burton), which has definitely become one of the most important looks of the season. In fact, we are fairly certain dark undertones are here to stay, which is all the more reason to indulge yourself with a little lace. Fashion devotees will recall the brilliant traces of it shown on the fall runways and how designers applied the raven textile to create little black dresses, hair veils (Stella McCartney), handbags (Prada), and more! In order to get you in on the action, dear readers, we bookmarked a few of our favorite laced-pieces for you to Go Buy Now.
Keep in mind, there are countless ways to work this patterned fabric into your wardrobe, but we are particularly influenced to take cues from ladies like Katrina Van Tassel and Morticia Addams, rather than Madonna. (We love the Material Girl, but an improperly executed eighties outfit is an entirely different breed of scary). Tassel achieved an ethereal look in Sleepy Hollow by contrasting her pale skin with nero lace-embellished petticoats and hats, while Addams reigned over her sinister family while clad in long lace sleeves. Derive similar real-life inspiration from Mary Kate Olsen, who flawlessly mastered some goth getups (lace included, of course) in a recent photo shoot for TANK magazine. Pixie Geldof also encompassed an impressive darkly romantic look with the Chantilly Blouse she wore to the PPQ show during London Fashion Week.
Aside from suggesting an esoteric theme, black lace always pleasantly reminds us of the sort of timeless, sultry appeal that Marilyn Monroe made famous. Erin Wasson modeled her own modern sex kitten version of that look at Teen Vogue's Young Hollywood Party last month, when she wore a body-conscious Whyred Melina Lace Dress ($265), Emma Cook for Topshop Lace-Up Boots, and an of-the-moment Alexander Wang Bag. We suspect that these exemplary muses will assist you as you embrace our enchanting selection of lacy things today into your own attire, but be sure to revisit our Alexander McQueen-inspired lace items, as well!-Jessica Amento
1. Prada Pizzo S Satchel($1995)
The moment we first laid eyes on this beautiful bag, we knew our Christmas list this year was going to be very short and sweet: one magnificent Prada Pizzo S Satchel! Not only will this gothic purse add an interesting twist to any ensemble, but it's the perfect way to incorporate lace into your outfits on a day-to-day basis.
2. Nanette Lepore Black Tie Top Blouse ($524)
This Victorian-reminiscent top is versatile enough to wear to work or on a date. We'd love to see it tucked into a high-waisted skirt and cinched in with a cute belt!
3. shu uemura Premium Black Gown False Eyelashes($50)
We are jaded by the endless hours we scout fashionable booty online, so it takes something very special to leave us awestruck. These drastically cool lashes definitely have the wow factor we're referring to! They are statement-making enough that you can downplay the rest of your beauty look (think: nude lips, understated hair) so that everyone can focus on your cutting-edge lashes.
4. Target Lace Beaded Necklace ($18)
Whether you're wearing a casual low-cut tank or a fancy cocktail dress, this antiqued necklace with black mesh detailing will give you an on-trend finishing touch. Wear your hair in a messy bun to show off the lacy bow closure!
5. Express Lace Leggings ($50)
We always rely on accessories to keep us aligned with the latest with trends without breaking our piggy banks. These lace leggings are a superb and inexpensive way to do just that! (If you've got extra money to spend, you can upgrade to Kova & T's Lace Leggings($110), for an even more luxe look.) Plus, they are a subtle nod to Marianne Faithful-always a good thing! Our advice? Buy them. Wear them. Love them.
6. French Connection Nero Lace Dress ($218)
You can emulate Erin Wasson's above ensemble with this little black number. Try it with Pedro Garcia's Mireya Stretch Peep Toe Bootie($410) and Antik Batik's Eryx Pouch($125).
7. All Black Lacey Lady Ankle Strap Flat($63)
We imagine that Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas has a pair or two of these in her closet. You can wear them with casual outfits, or even swap them out with your heels in an evening look.

In his most recent column, Mr. J.R. Wilt objects to the county road maintenance fee being increased by $5, from $25 to $30. I strongly disagree. Lancaster County residents have complained about the poor condition of our roads for years. While this increase will not improve the condition of our state-maintained roads, it will improve the condition of our county-maintained roads.
I support the proposed road maintenance fee increase, and I encourage all residents of Lancaster County to do the same. For the record, my home is located on a state-maintained road.
As I complete my final days as principal of Indian Land Middle School and we close another school year, I wanted to take the opportunity thank you for the many years of support provided to Indian Land Middle School – specifically the students and staff – and to me. For the last six years, I have had the honor to serve as the first principal of ILMS and while there were challenges, there have been so many more amazing moments of celebration.
Editor's note: This is the third of a three-part series from Caroline Howey, an intern for the Lancaster County Partners for Youth Foundation.
College students and their families know how expensive college is. Some families in Lancaster County simply cannot afford to send their children to college.
I'd like to give an affirmative nod to Ken Bell's May 31 column, "Library needs to keep up."
When I, my husband and three children moved to Lancaster from Virginia we inquired about the most important things a county must provide its residents. For instance, the sheriff's office gave tips on safe areas to rent a house. At that time it was North Catawba Street, with an excellent school nearby, as well as doctors, churches and grocery stores.
Those of us who have seen the movie "Riding in Cars with Boys" are aware of the hardships teenager mothers face.
In the movie, Drew Barrymore's character, Beverly D'Onofrio, was forced to put her aspirations of attending New York University and becoming a writer on hold after getting pregnant in high school.
Lancaster County Republicans welcome Matt Moore, the new chair of the S.C. Republican Party. Moore replaces Chad Connelly, who just took a role at the Republican National Committee.
My name is Caroline Howey and I am doing an internship with the Lancaster County Partners for Youth Foundation, and assisting with the Office of Research and Development at the school district.
During my work here, I learned of the work of the Coalition for Healthy Youth, a network of public, private, civic, and faith-based representatives focused on preventing underage drinking and drug use within the county.
Death isn't cheap these days. Critics say regulations of South Carolina's funeral industry block competition for those who want to buy an inexpensive casket. But they likely won't get a sympathetic ear from a state lawmaker/funeral director who has successfully pushed funeral-related bills in recent years.
Jon Butzon is a big guy and he has some big ideas about how we can fix education in South Carolina. He should know because for years he's run the Charleston Education Network – he's seen it, lived it and thought about it. He knows where we are as a state; he knows what works and, most importantly, what doesn't work.
Hope is a curious thing. It's about looking forward to something positive and refusing to give up. It's about persisting in the face of adversity, even when the odds and the facts seem to be working against you. It's about creating positive energy that can nourish both body and soul.

I find it remarkable that one of the liveliest debates being engaged during this presidential election year is about, of all things, contraception.
I understand that sexually related matters tend to raise the most heated passions (pun sort of intended), with abortion and gay rights amongst the most hot-button of those issues, but I kinda thought the contraception debate had been settled. And, really, it has been.
Nobody (except maybe Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum if you really push him) is going to dispute an individual's right to obtain or use artificial means of birth control in the 21st century. Some pharmacies and even convenience stores today have entire shelves, or even whole aisles offering just the non-prescription types of safe-sex devices.
The current fight is really about that age-old question: who pays?
President Obama made contraceptive coverage by health insurers a mandate in the health care law we now call Obamacare. That would mean that religious institutions whose doctrines oppose birth control — it is the Catholic Church that has been front and center on this, because it operates hospitals and colleges and other worthwhile and beneficial charitable efforts — would, if those institutions provide health insurance for their employees (good for them if they do) be subsidizing birth control (and, depending on the plan, perhaps sterilizations or abortions as well) against their will and contrary to their religious teaching.
That can't be dismissed, or discounted, as some in the debate would like to do, by saying that if religious organizations and corporations are going to employ people, they have to be treated like all other employers. That is true in some cases but not all.
The part of the U.S. Constitution that deals with church and state issues is the section of the First Amendment that has come to be called "the establishment clause" because its specific language and original intent was to prevent the establishment of an official state religion. That is the first part of the First Amendment, so important that, when the framers sat down to compose and detail the rights individuals would maintain in the document that constitutes our government cited it right off the bat. The government does not get involved in people's religious lives.
But there is a second part of that clause before you get to the semi-colon: "or prohibit the free exercise thereof."
As one who makes his living by virtue of the First Amendment, I am pretty much an absolutist when it comes to the Bill of Rights. "Congress shall make no law" means, to me no law. But nothing can ever be really absolute. If you take "Congress shall make no law…prohibiting the free exercise" of religion to the furthest extremity, what do you do about a religion that practices human sacrifice? So at some point the argument could be made that some line must be drawn somewhere, but I am not going to be so foolish as to propose one here.
Somebody is going to have to draw the line, however, when it comes to the mandate for contraception as part of health insurance coverage.
Ultimately, that call will have to be made by someone wearing a black robe who has a six-figure salary and a fat pension.
In these situations, courts usually apply what is called a balancing test: Is the governmental purpose (including contraceptives as part of preventive health care for women) so compelling that it trumps the faith-based employers' First Amendment rights to not be compelled to violate their religious teaching?
As mentioned above, birth control is readily and cheaply available just about everywhere, so it's not like its exclusion from health insurance coverage would be an insurmountable burden. For insurance to refuse to cover heart by-pass surgery would be one thing, it would put life-saving care beyond the economic reach of many, if not most, people. Birth control pills and IUDs don't seem to reach that same level of urgency.
On the other hand, there is another line that has to be drawn. A Catholic-run hospital or a Catholic college might be one thing, but how about the everyday widget factory employer who says providing such coverage would violate his or her individual religious convictions? Does that fall under the First Amendment protections of exercising his or her religion? Is that true religious conviction, or a desire to knock some cost off the health insurance plan, and who gets to make that decision? That is a whole other can of worms that is likely to be opened in Congress or in some state legislatures that are weighing in on the issue, if for no other reason than to extend this contentious debate through Election Day: How many of society's laws should people be allowed to exempt themselves from by professing religious beliefs?
Imitating the ancient Popes, Obama tried to put a fig leaf over the problem. Unfortunately, it is a pretty transparent one.
His idea of a compromise was saying the religious institutions wouldn't have to pay for the contraception coverage, but that the employee could go to the employer's insurance provider and get the coverage free. Surely there is no possibility that the insurance company would take that into consideration when they set the employer's premiums the next time around.
Obama is giving the religious employers the fig leaf to cover their backsides, which is what you do in a political situation. But the bishops and others who oppose this idea are not looking for a lame excuse that will allow them to go along with what the president wants; they want to exercise what they see as their religious prerogative, indeed their religious duty, to object and resist what Obama is trying to do.
It will be interesting to see where the politics shakes out on this.
Conservatives seem to think they have the upper hand here because millions of voting Catholics are going to resent Obama's governmental intrusion on the right of the churches to practice religion as they see fit.
Liberals think they have a winning issue because so many Americans, Catholics included, practice birth control faithfully. They think those people will resent the conservative (and for the most part, Republican) effort to allow employers to impose their religious convictions on their employees.
Which side is right? We'll know in November.

2011 Tesla Roadster Ownership Costs
Cost of Ownership data coming soon
There is no cost of ownership information available for the 2011 Tesla Roadster Base Roadster at this time
2011 Tesla Roadster Base Roadster cost of ownership data is powered by
Ownership costs are the costs to purchase and operate a vehicle over a period of time. Understanding these costs may enable you to save money and help you make a wiser decision when choosing your next new car.
Regardless of the "value" claims that you may read in car reviews or hear in advertisements, the economic value of a car is based on how much it will cost to own and operate compared to its purchase price. In a sense, purchase price is "what you pay" and the ownership costs are "what you get."
Ownership costs can differ greatly. The cost to own and operate two different vehicles with equal purchase prices can differ by thousands. Of course when evaluating ownership cost for used cars and trucks, a vehicle's condition and mileage will greatly impact ownership costs, therefore it's important to compare similar vehicles in similar condition for an accurate picture.

Basic Warranty:
The basic warranty covers everything except items that are subject to wear and tear or replacement in the ordinary course of vehicle ownership, such as oil and air filters, wiper blades and brake pads. Tires and batteries are often excluded, but usually have their own warranty provided by the manufacturers of those items. Emissions equipment is required by Federal law to be covered for five years or 50,000 miles.
Drive Train Warranty:
In some cases the drive train warranty continues after the basic warranty has expired. This part of the warranty covers most of the parts that make the vehicle move, including the engine, transmission, drive axles and driveshaft. Like the basic warranty, consumable parts such as hoses and belts are not covered. However, most of the internal parts of the engine, such as the pistons and bearings, which are also subject to wear and tear, are covered by the drive train warranty.
Roadside Assistance:
Many manufacturers provide a service that will rescue you if your car leaves you stranded, even if it's your fault. Lock yourself our of your car? Run out of gas? Got a flat tire? A call to the manufacturer's toll-free number will result in somebody showing up who can help you out. There is a huge variance in these programs so check ahead of time to see what is covered and what you will have to pay for.
Rust or Corrosion Warranty:
Rust or Corrosion Warranty: This warranty covers the vehicle's sheet metal, and protects you from rust and corrosion that are severe enough to cause a hole - surface rust is not covered. However, if you keep your car washed and waxed rust shouldn't be a problem.

No Dumping AllowedFish up 6 Toxic Puddlefish and return them to Razgar in the Valley of Honor once you are done.
|Toxic Puddlefish (6)
DescriptionEver since those goblins took up refuge in Orgrimmar, they have been dumping all of their waste in our water supply.
I have no idea what effect this is having on our local fishing supply, but I don't think it's good. I have heard reports of a new mutated fish species spawning in that toxic pool near their camp. A few specimens would really help me figure out what exactly is going on.
Can you help me out?
Were you able to fish up a few specimens?
Nice work <name>. These samples will help us figure out what is going on in that toxic soup over there.

Marine biologists from Stanford's Hopkins Marine Station sampled 15 migratory Pacific bluefin tuna from the shore of San Diego in August 2011. According to their report, the tissue of the recently captured fish had ten times the concentration of the radioactive isotopes cesium-134 and cesium-137 than did the tissue of fish of the same species captured years before the before the devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan that damaged the nuclear reactors in Fukushima. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration website says these isotopes are strongly linked to nuclear reactor accidents.
The researchers compared cesium levels in their sample of bluefin tuna to that of bluefin tuna sampled near Japan in 2008, to see whether migratory Pacific bluefin tuna contained any cesium before the Fukushima incident. They also compared their sample of tuna to yellowfin tuna sampled near California in August 2011; the yellowfin are a similar species to bluefin but do not migrate outside of the East Pacific Ocean. Neither comparison group showed significant levels of cesium.
David Checkley, a professor at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography who was not involved with the study, said he's not surprised by the results.
"I think it really shows how connected the oceans are to one another," said Dr. Checkley, "and it's rather indicative of how fast pollution can get around the oceans."
The researchers are uncertain what enables bluefins to store the radiation over such long distances, since the fish don't require cesium for normal biological functioning. According to Stanford's Dan Madigan, the lead researcher on the study, the fish either breathed in the radiation or ingested it by eating smaller radiation-containing fish. The researchers also say that the levels of cesium are low enough that they don't appear to have any detrimental effect on the tuna.
No threat to public health has yet been detected. The radiation is contained in the muscle tissue, which is the part of the tuna that people eat in both Japan and the United States, most commonly as sushi. But the cesium levels found in the fish were approximately 37 times less than the safe-to-eat limit set by the FDA.
"Just because we can detect radiation doesn't mean that it's harmful," said Nicholas Fisher, a marine researcher from Stony Brook University who participated in the study.
This summer, the researchers will study the effects the radiation in the tuna could have on human health. They also want to extend their research to birds and turtles, and to look at radiation as a potential way to track migration patterns in marine animals.
"This study shows us that stuff can happen in a way we don't expect and that consequences can go great distances," said Madigan.

The skin, scalp, and nails often require just a bit more attention and care than some other parts of the body. A variety of uncomfortable skincare concerns may creep up over time, with symptoms like itching, dryness, redness, and a change in the appearance and texture of our skin. As a small pharmaceutical company, Summers Labs focuses on finding remedies for these skincare complaints. The brand's product Triple Paste is a highly effective and fast-acting diaper rash treatment backed by pediatricians. This and other products continue to gain popularity based on recommendations from dermatologists and pediatricians, with sustained support once people see the results for themselves.
Summers Labs creates products to treat severely dry skin, eczema, psoriasis, acne, and of course, diaper rash. Other problems of the skin, nails, and scalp also find relief in this company's arsenal of problem-solving treatments. Summers Labs' products deliver both short and long-term relief of chronic skin issues in a safe and effective way. Hailing from a small town in Pennsylvania, this company keeps its focus targeted on areas where its products can really make a difference. Customers can feel at ease making a purchase with the brand's full money-back guarantee.
Even if we religiously follow a solid skincare regimen using top-shelf products, some dermatological problems can stubbornly resist. Such chronic issues call for specialized attention—just the sort that Summers Labs offers. The brand focuses on treating the symptoms of acne, eczema, diaper rash, psoriasis, and other pernicious and widespread skin issues.
These are dermatological complications that affect millions, and which often enough trump the basic cleaning, moisturizing, and toning work of standard skincare products. For example, psoriasis involves a breakdown in normal skin-cell growth prompted by miscommunication from the immune system: cells grow too hastily and accumulate in scabrous, scaly, or discolored patches on the skin's surface. These are often itchy and irritated, but scratching them typically exacerbates the situation. Summers Labs tackles psoriasis with products that can mitigate the associated inflammation, redness, and scaliness—all without weakening the skin or diminishing in effectiveness over time, which are common drawbacks to the topical steroids often used to treat psoriasis.
Summers Labs is a small and committed company, one dedicated to helping people find relief from aggravating, embarrassing, and otherwise troublesome ailments of the skin. Whether it's excessively oily skin—which can create a highly visible sheen to the face as well as clog pores to make acne breakouts more likely—or diaper rash, weak nails or the swollen blisters of eczema, Summers Labs has potential solutions. These are products made with care and focus, avoiding harsh ingredients and drawing from natural sources as much as possible.
If you've been made miserable by a dermatological condition, give the Summers Labs approach a try!

New NHS system threatens a tsunami of hospital mergers
June Hautot, the pensioner who confronted Andrew Lansley outside Downing Street last month, is a veteran of hospital closure campaigns.
She has been opposing closures since the early 1980s, mentioning in an interview St James's, St Benedict's and Clapham Women's hospitals – all in south London.
Who now remembers these hospitals or the arguments made for or against shutting them? The point being there have been hospital reconfigurations for as long as there has been an NHS.
Nevertheless, according to the NHS's leading historian Geoffrey Rivett, the scale of change being proposed during the QIPP ice age is unprecedented.
Mr Rivett's views are reinforced by the findings of the first HSJ/Capsticks Barometer survey of acute and specialist trust chief executives. Two thirds of the 65 chief executives who responded said they were involved in mergers and/or the acquisitions or transfer of services.
The poster child for this tsunami of mergers is the £1bn giant being formed in east London, but the key merger trend may turn out to be the linking up of smaller equals. Medway Foundation Trust's takeover of Dartford and Gravesham should create an organisation big enough to survive, as will the combination of Poole and Bournemouth.
Even where mergers are not taking place there is steady disaggregation of services between hospitals, often to private and voluntary providers. In fact, the Barometer's clearest message is of a divide between winners and losers. Even where smaller trusts are not being gobbled up many face a steady reduction in services.
The efficiency drive has combined with the movement of all trusts to foundation status to spark this great rationalisation.
The boards of many acutes around the £100m-turnover mark had hoped they could make it as independent foundation trusts. Very few have been allowed to try and none without community services. Staff costs, tariff reductions and shifting resources to primary care all conspire against the optimists at the smaller trusts.
Many of the Barometer's respondents complain about the growing demands of the FT application process. The bad news for them is that, in the wake of problems at Morecambe Bay and, possibly, in anticipation of the conclusions of the Francis inquiry into Mid Staffordshire Foundation Trust, that assessment is going to get even tougher. It is also increasingly clear there are a significant number of smaller foundation trusts that face a very challenging future and would not pass assessment were they applying now.
Monitor – and the Department of Health – will wish to avoid de-authorisation at all costs and this is very likely to encourage the regulator to increase its intervention in struggling foundations. Again, mergers are likely to be the answer proposed.
The DH – directly through strategic health authorities and indirectly with Monitor – is overseeing the reshaping of the acute sector. But we will soon be living in a different world, with the DH exercising influence through an annual mandate.
The scale and speed of change requires careful oversight and sometimes rapid reaction. In the future different elements of this change will be in the hands of Monitor (still struggling with its new regulatory role), the NHS Commissioning Board, clinical commissioning groups, the Care Quality Commission, health and wellbeing boards and the Trust Development Authority.
These bodies all have requirements to cooperate, but also to maintain independence. How and when they should work together is still to be determined and tested. The future of England's hospitals depends on an effective solution being found by the end of the year.
Readers' comments (14)
How and from where are we going to find the resources (time and money) to keep any form of routine care going in the face of all this?
And I repeat my question posted on a similar subject elsewhere...
'And where is the proven link between mergers and improvements in patient outcomes?'
Interesting concept of creating massive providers and breaking up commissioners into smaller units. It does not sound like a fair fight will be had and the larger may well ignore the smaller (as they do now).
Didin't we have large NHS entities 20 years ago. I think they were called health authorities? What happened to local involvement? Also, how will concept of the market work in the face of what could become geographic monoplies?
Actually, as a newcomer to the NHS it always struck me as odd that there were no regional or national hospital chains, as there are in most other industries.
I dont think this has anything to do with, as the editorial suggests, the new system. If anything the new system will lead to less of these things as there is no real strategic system leader in the new world.
No. These mergers are mainly driven by lower financial settlements played out through tariff reductions.
The one thing they have in their favour is at least being able to be developed at run by the organisations themselves, compared to the commissioning changes which are subject to a poorly run pseudo national process.
Who says the driver of mergers is efficiency. It is more likely to be cost and control of the 'market'. Leviathan FT's will tell CCG's what they can and cant have and patients had better keep their figures crossed. Organisational Darwinism when intelligent design is needed!
I remember St James Balham... Gateway to the south, I worked there
As for South London Hospital Clapham.... I was born there
I must be past my sell by date then!
NHS management continue to delude themselves that big mergers and or shared services are the answer to the Nicholson challenge. Look at South London healthcare Trust (as 1 of many examples) - has the merger of troubled trusts led to an improvement or worsening of the situation.
The problem in the NHS acute sector is around poor process as a consequence of poor management, poorly aligned incentives, low staff morale etc. the NHS should focus on the root cause problems, not look for a false silver bullet in mergers like this
The whole point of all these mergers and "efficiency drives" is they have nothing whatsoever to do with being more efficient or improving care for patients, they are there to dismantle the NHS completely, drive through private care, even though private insurers are losing money hand over fist and have stopped funding new hospital projects and patient care. This is policy based on ideology from the 1980's. Jane Hautot is one of many, like myself who remembers local hospitals that were shut during the Thatcher years, South London Hospital for Women & Children was one, another was St James' in Balham, along with the Garrett Anderson, a small cottage hospital my mother spent some time in after a difficult pregnancy with my youngest brother. All gone in the name of "efficiency and offering more patient choice". Sound familiar? It ought to be. This bunch of second hand car dealers are the same as they were then and they're just finishing the job that was started then. When are we going to wake up and protest about it? When we all have to have private health cover or before then????
Market forces have NO PLACE in healthcare. Not if we are truly providing healthcare free at the point of use.
The proof of the pudding is in the eating, and below is an example of the levels of efficiency which can be achieved by merging two NHS Trusts.
The HSJ reported in October last year about the CQC investigating an atypical Rise in Never Events at the Trust; a Trust which exists as the result of a merger between two hospital Trusts in 2006.
The article reported: 'The minutes, from a July meeting, say [The County PCT] director of quality and governance "felt the main cause of the increase in never events at [The Trust] was that learning from previous never events was not embedded across the trust due to the size of the organisation".
The investigation of never events at the Trust wasn't an isolated report, but just one of an increasing number of negative reports of the (merged) Trust in the press over the past year.
These reports included breaching the number of clostridium difficile cases in February 2011 (HSJ), failing to meet standards in four areas of consent in an inspection by the Human Tissue Authority in March 2011 (Report on HTA Website), and being 154th out of 163 trusts for assessing patients for their risk of developing potentially life-threatening blood clots in May 2011 (Local Press Website). October was a busy month for the Trust, which as well as them being under investigation for the high number of Never Events (HSJ), also saw the Trust identified as the worst Trust in the country for breaching patient confidentiality (Local Press Website), as well as a freedom of information request showing they had increased their sickness-related dismissals of staff by 5,500% in two years ('What do they know' website). Perhaps even more telling is the that in November 2011 one of the two hospitals was identified as the least popular Hospital in the whole country in the 2011 Dr Foster Hospital Guide, with a mere 20% of its patients able to recommend it, and the same report identified the Trust as one of nine Trusts with the highest weekend mortality rates in the country. And finally, in December the Trust was reported as having failed to meet the required standards in 8 out of 10 quality targets by the Care Quality Commission (BBC Local Website).
This year doesn't appear to be any better. In January the Trust had exceeded A&E assessment times by 100% with assessments taking 32 minutes as opposed to the targeted 15 minutes (HSJ). In the same month they were under close scrutiny, again because of the number of never events, there having been five in 2011/2012 (HSJ), and last month for having cancelled more than 300 operations, with 185 of those in January alone (Local Press Website).
Since 2008 the Trust has been publicly proclaiming its "vision" of being the very best Acute Teaching Trust in the whole of the NHS by 2016, and despite the fact that a 5,500% increase in sick staff might imply otherwise, have a second "vision" of being the very best employer in the whole of the NHS (and the whole of the city), also by 2016. The Trust has even made a public pledge, both to patients and to staff: "We are here for you", those five words commonly being printed on the bottom letterhead of the dismissal letters of sick staff.
Interestingly, the Director of Workforce & Strategy who justifies these dismissals of ill staff by what he has referred to as "A more robust use of policy" is also the Vice-Chair of the Policy Board of NHS Employers, which according to their website "The policy board provides a steer on the direction of travel for both the organisation and policy development".
Dismissing sick staff would certainly seem to be a very effective way of going some way to achieving the Trust's sickness and absence targets, which have still not been achieved. It may also have something to do with the fact that last year the Trust were reporting an adverse variance on pay expenditure of £3.6m (HSJ). This might also explain, perhaps, the fact that out of all dismissals, less than one in five of dismissed staff are replaced, according to figures given to the union by the Trust's HR department.
In the Trust's Annual Plan 2011/2012, it reflects on the previous year as "another year of significant progress in the journey towards becoming the best acute teaching Trust by 2016". We will have to wait for the Annual Plan 2012/2013 to see if the Trust views 2011/2012 as even further significant progress in their journey towards their vision.
Is the tsunami of mergers going to be the tip of the iceberg for hospital failures? Time and again, evidence in both the business and healthcare literature has pointed out the high failure rate of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) - failure both in terms of cost improvement as well as business/clinical outcomes. And the key reason for failure is often a difference in organisational culture, especially as the organisation that 'takes over' tries to put its stamp on the 'taken over'. Yet, despite this evidence, the NHS carries on merging regardless. So much for evidence-based healthcare policy.
The more they merge the harder it is to monitor quality remotely since too much information is captured against the trust rather than the hospital. Even the PAS patient record that should be recorded against the hospital (via the site of treatment field) is often coded to the head office or some other seemingly randomly selected individual site irrespective of where the care is provided. Some trusts are able to divvy up the data using local patient identifiers and the like for their own use, others aren't, either way remote monitoring of anything becomes high on impossible.

LaMOTTE, Quebec (NEWS CENTER)-- LaMotte is an isolated village of fewer than 500 people. Many people believe it is the hometown of the next pope.
Marc Ouellet was born, raised and ordained here. He became one of the Catholic Church's leading theologians. He is a powerful figure inside the Vatican and many believe he will be selected the next pope.
"My brother built his reputation when he taught at John the 23rd University at the Vatican," said Louis Ouellet who is brother of the Cardinal.
Among Ouellet's positions was Archbishop of Quebec beginning in 2003. His tenure did not go well with the public as he held a conservative position against abortion in any circumstance, gay marriage and contraception.
He alsodid notdeal with "Duplessis' Orphans." This was a group of orphans who were classified as mentally ill by the church and Quebec government in the 1940'sthrough the1960's.
People here in LaMottewould like Ouellet to be selected, but fear what that selection might do to their community. The town of fewer than 500 has only one store and no public bathroom.
It is a mixed blessing as well for Graziella Ouellet. The Cardinal remains close with his 90-year old mother. He calls her each week and they take communion at the same moment each day.
His selection as pope would prevent his twice a year travels to this beautiful, but isolated village wherethe Cardinal likes to swim, hike and play hockey with his family.
"My brother is a man of faith, faith in God," said Louis Ouellet. "He's a man of conviction. He's also a man of compassion."

Davidson Auto Group has purchased the former Drum Honda property, 18375 Route 11, Watertown, to expand parking space at its Nissan dealership neighboring the property to the north at 18423 Route 11.
To add about 200 parking spaces to display Nissan vehicles and used cars, Davidson bought the site last week from a company owned by Watertown businessman Philip J. Simao, Onondaga Development LLC, for $625,000. Davidson had previously leased the building since May 2011 for reconditioning used cars, but it needed to purchase the property to operate as a dealership there and exhibit cars, said co-owner Dwight E. Davidson.
The dealership plans to hire anywhere from 10 to 20 employees at the expanded site, he said, adding to its staff of 30. Those positions will mostly be for salesmen and technicians.
Mr. Davidson said the decision to buy the lot to be an extension of its 150-space parking lot at Davidson Nissan was spurred by the increased consumer demand for Nissan vehicles.
Our sales in our Nissan store have grown substantially, and thats what pushed us over the hump to purchase the property, he said. Nissan is now on a roll nationally, and were sharing in that success.
About half the parking lot space at the site will feature Nissan cars, Mr. Davidson said, while the other half will be devoted to used cars. At the Nissan property to the north, a 15,000-square-foot used car reconditioning facility is now being built that will eventually take the place of the smaller building now used for that purpose to the south. The company hasnt yet decided how that soon-vacated building will be used.
Mr. Davidson said the used-car reconditioning center under construction will offer the extra space the dealership needs to keep pace with increased used car sales.
Were kind of space-deprived right now, based on how many used cars were selling, he said. Used car sales have grown nationally, too.
