Posted from Becker's Hospital Review
Healthcare merger and acquisition activity experienced a 10 percent deal volume increase in the second quarter of 2013 compared with the quarter before, with 223 deals announced, according to a report from Irving Levin Associates.
However, deal volume decreased by 15 percent compared to the 263 deals announced in the second quarter of 2012, according to the report.
Deal value in the second quarter was about $52.6 billion, compared to $14.9 billion in the first quarter of 2013. Deal value in the second quarter of 2012 totaled $52.3 billion.
Due to reimbursement reductions and decreasing inpatient volume, hospitals saw a 32 percent drop in mergers and acquisitions in the second quarter of this year, with only 15 deals announced. This constitutes a 42 percent drop from the 26 deals announced in the second quarter of 2012.
Economic pressures have created uncertainty, particularly for nonprofit hospitals, according to the report.

At some point in the last few years, the open-mic nights at Woodman's Bar and Grill dropped in attendance and fizzled out.
After being away from Orono for a few years, University of Maine alumnus Jon Bailey returned to find that his favorite Wednesday night tradition had all but disappeared.
"When I used to go to UMaine… it was always a ritual for friends and me to go to Woodman's every Wednesday night to have a great open mic," Bailey said. "[Bar owner Abe Furth] and I talked and we wanted to have something that was more intimate than your average nightly rock band in Orono."
So the weekly "Extravajamza" events at Woodman's were born. Every Wednesday, performers sign up and share their tunes with the crowd. Essentially an open-mic night with a twist, it's a primarily acoustic affair, focusing on singers and songwriters.
According to Bailey, the idea behind Extravajamza was to put on an event that was more open and fun, an intimate forum between performers and the audience. Due partly to the quaint atmosphere and the rustic vibe of Woodman's, they decided the show should also be acoustic.
"We wanted to get a showcase instead [of a strict open mic]," Furth said.
Although the show consists primarily of the artists on the bill for that night, there is also technically an open mic, with spots available after the main performers' sets.
"It's basically a formulated open mic so we can keep regular guests and so patrons will know what to expect before they go," Bailey said.
Bailey said the open-mic nights were one of the most popular things happening during his time as a student. Hopeful performers would have to show up early if they wanted a chance at performing that night.
"It was just my favorite musical thing in Orono," Bailey said.
While not yet up to its former glory, it is building momentum. Each week, the event has more attendees. On Wednesday, just the third installment, there was a full bar.
"We've had success so far and it seems like we're just climbing up a staircase, so hopefully we keep going that way," Bailey said.
The music has been varied so far. Last Wednesday featured the edgy acoustic rock of Scott McAlister, the bluegrass stylings of the Park Street Pickers — of which Furth's brother is a member — and the acoustic '90s covers of Erik Schwab, among others.
Bailey usually plays a few songs himself, and says that playing Extravajamza is like being at a private party.
"[It's] like we're playing in Abe's living room," Bailey said.
Performers routinely chat amongst each other and with members of the audience while playing, like a bunch of friends getting together and jamming with each other.
Last week, Bailey decided to grab an unused microphone and beatbox over Schwab's performance of Eagle Eye Cherry's hit "Save Tonight." Schwab rolled with it and inserted rap verses from "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Theme Song" and "Ice Ice Baby," prompting loud laughter and cheers from everybody there.
The performances have been so well received in part because there was a bit of a longing for some good Wednesday night music in Orono, according to Bailey.
"There are a lot of the same kids that were here when Woodman's opened [in 2005] and it was one of the biggest things I went to," he said. "I think people were missing the consistency and right off the bat, it was pretty good and we had a full house."
Attendance needs little improvement, but one thing that Furth and Bailey would like to bolster is the already diverse variety of the performers.
"We did just have our first bluegrass band, which was great, so we're trying to make it as diverse as possible," Bailey said. "I'm looking to add a couple a cappella groups from UMaine as well."
Other types of performance are more than welcome at Extravajamza as well, including short story readings, poetry readings, stand-up comedy and just about anything that can be contained within the walls of Woodman's.
"We're trying to mix it up and make it a consistently fun thing on a Wednesday night in Orono, Maine, which is kind of hard to find," said Bailey.
Roll up to Woodman's Bar and Grill on Wednesdays any time from 10:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. — as long as you are 21 or older.

Respiratory alkalosis
Respiratory alkalosis is a condition marked by low levels of carbon dioxide in the blood due to breathing excessively.
See also: Alkalosis
Alternative Names
Alkalosis - respiratory
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Common causes include:
- Anxiety
- Fever
- Hyperventilation
Any lung disease that leads to shortness of breath can also cause respiratory alkalosis.
The symptoms may include:
- Dizziness
- Lightheadedness
- Numbness of the hands and feet
Signs and tests
Your doctor or nurse will perform a physical exam. Tests that may be done include:
- Arterial blood gas, which measures oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood
- Basic metabolic panel
- Chest x-ray
- Pulmonary function test
Treatment is aimed at the condition that causes respiratory alkalosis. Breathing into a paper bag -- or using a mask that causes you to re-breathe carbon dioxide -- sometimes helps reduce symptoms.
Expectations (prognosis)
What will happen depends on the condition that is causing the respiratory alkalosis.
Seizures may occur if the alkalosis is extremely severe. This is very rare.
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if you have any symptoms of lung disease, such as chronic cough or shortness of breath.

Parents often approach me at workshops, at school or through my site wanting to know the best way to solve their family homework problems. They are tired of the tears, the fighting, the never-ending homework struggles. Parents have homework questions, and they want homework answers!
They want to know:
- What is the best time to do homework?
- Where is the best place to do homework?
- Is it okay to have the TV on during homework? The radio?
- Should a child take a break during homework? How long?
- How often should parents remind their children to do their homework?
These are all legitimate questions, but before I- or anybody else- can answer them, parents must understand their child's homework personality.
Homework personality? What?!?
Teachers and educators recognize that each student has an unique learning style. Some are visual or sight learners; others are auditory or hearing learners; and, kinesthetic learners learn best through touch. Good teachers try to incorporate all three of these learning styles into lessons so that every student has the opportunity to best grasp the material.
Your child's homework personality suggests the unique way in which he or she best studies, learns and does homework. What gets them in the "homework groove?" Where are they most comfortable in your home? When during the day are they the most relaxed yet productive? Do they work best alone or around others? When you are able to answer these types of questions, it is easy to set up a schedule and environment that best supports your child's homework personality.
Remember, every child is unique! What works for one of your children may not work for another! Some kids need absolute quiet in order to concentrate; others can work just fine in a noisy, crowded room. Some children should come straight home from school and get started on their homework, while others can wait a few hours- or even until the next morning. I've known families where one child does his homework at a desk in his bedroom, while his sister sprawls on the family room floor.
Last Sunday around 8 PM, I noticed my middle-school daughter sitting at the dining room table. She was completing a social studies assignment that wasn't due until later in the week. Now, that's not how I would have spent my Sunday evening, but I understand that my daughter cannot relax knowing that something (anything!) is due. Hmm. This got me to thinking...
Did my third-grade son have any homework?
He had no idea. He had forgotten his backpack at school.
Needless to say, my children have different homework personalities! One of them likes to come in and get started on her homework, the other one does not. One needs to be reminded to do his homework, the other one does not. Giving them the same homework rules, breaks, environment, etc. would not only be a waste of my time, it would frustrate and upset them (at least one of them!)
Take the Homework Personality Quiz and figure out how to best support your child's unique homework personality. The quiz a lot of fun, and it will really get you thinking about how your child works, learns and studies. Share your answers with your family members, make some decisions, and get ready for homework time to get a whole lot easier!

Rectal prolapse
Rectal prolapse occurs when the rectum falls down and comes through the anal opening.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Rectal prolapse occurs most often in children under age 6 and in the elderly.
In children, it can be found with cystic fibrosis and whipworm (trichuriasis).
In adults, it is usually found with constipation. It is also more common in people with autism, psychiatric disorders, and intellectual disability.
The main symptom is a reddish-colored mass that sticks out from the opening of the anus, especially following a bowel movement. This reddish mass is actually the inner lining of the rectum. It may bleed slightly and can be uncomfortable and painful.
Signs and tests
The health care provider will perform a physical exam, which may include a rectal exam. Tests can determine the underlying cause.
Call your health care provider if a rectal prolapse occurs. In some cases, the prolapse can be treated at home.
The rectum must be pushed back inside manually. A soft, warm, wet cloth is used to apply gentle pressure to the mass to push it back through the anal opening. The affected person should be lying down on his or her side in a knee-chest position before applying pressure to allow gravity to help return the prolapse.
Immediate surgery for repair is seldom needed. In children, treating the underlying condition usually solves the problem. In adults, the only cure for rectal prolapse is an operation.
Expectations (prognosis)
In children, treating the underlying condition usually cures the problem. In adults, surgery is usually successful at curing the prolapse.
Constipation and loss of bowel control may also develop.
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider promptly if there is a rectal prolapse.
In children, treating the underlying condition usually prevents further rectal prolapse. Treating vascular constipation is an important preventive measure.

Many scholars maintain that, because the history of North America depends so heavily on written sources that largely represent the colonizer's point of view, any discussion of cannibalism must consider the Eurocentric bias inherent to the primary sources from which much of our information is drawn. From Christopher Columbus's first writings in America onward, cannibalism appears to have been an act Europeans expected to find among the newly encountered indigenous peoples. While use of the word "anthropophagous" to refer to the consumption of human flesh dates to antiquity, "cannibal" has its origins during the invasion of the Americas. The term evolved from Carib/Canib, the name applied by the Arawaks to their apparently ferocious neighbors and subsequently used by Europeans. This idea spread, appearing in works from Columbus to Shakespeare, such that, by the early eighteenth century, "cannibal" and "anthropophagus" were synonyms (Hulme, 1986, 67–73). "Cannibal" came to denote any person or group who ate human flesh.
Some scholars, including Arens, agree that whatever actual cannibalism may have occurred in the Americas was very likely exaggerated by the European worldview that expected to find cannibalism everywhere (Barker et al., 1998, 42). Numerous books that were widely read in medieval and early modern Europe, including those by Augustine, Pliny, John Mandeville, and Marco Polo, created a vast catalogue of grotesque qualities, placing cannibals alongside dog-headed men and amazons, labels ready to be applied to America's exotic indigenous "others" (Hulme, 1986, 21).
Arens suggests that no convincing first-hand eyewitness accounts of indigenous cannibalism exist in the historical or ethnographic record (Barker et al., 1998, 21). Further, Ward Churchill's (Cherokee/Metis) 2000 review article in American Archaeologist asserts that institutionalized cannibalism among Native groups was an invention of Eurocentric scholarship meant to systematically defile preinvasion Native cultures (Churchill, 2000, 278–280). Alternately, opponents of Arens and Churchill suggest that ritual cannibalism was a regular part of many North American indigenous societies. Some scholars assert that the human flesh of warriors often was consumed in order to incorporate the warrior's bravery. Peggy Reeves Sanday suggests that the Hotinonshonni (Iroquois) "were indiscriminant in their search for torture victims to appease their war god" (Sanday, 1986, 127).
However, Wendat (Huron) historian Georges Sioui allows that some ritual cannibalism occurred among his Wendat and other Hotinonshonni (Iroquoian-speaking) peoples. Sioui maintains that this practice occurred only in cases of extreme grief, when a (usually male) captive would be executed and small amounts of the person were eaten, in order to both honor the captive and to engage in collective healing on the part of the captors (Sioui, 1999, 173–174). Sioui's indigenous perspective presents a useful middle ground on the historical debate surrounding cannibalism. Anthropological, ethnohistorical, and Native studies evidence suggests that cannibalism likely occurred in ritual settings to varying degrees across the Americas. However, the point that these occurrences may have been exaggerated in the European-authored literature to exaggerate Native ferocity and therefore to justify colonization remains a key issue, and something of the utmost importance when considering the veracity of primary sources.

Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal Water Garden
This section of the page features an image gallery, so if you're using a screen reader you may wish to jump to the main content.
Discover people and events that shaped the history
Did you know?
- The Temple of Fame in the Water Garden is a folly in both senses of the word as it appears to be made from stone, but is in fact painted wood.
- During the Second World War, Studley Hall and other buildings were used to house evacuees.
- Surprise View, known as Anne Boleyn's Seat, was named this because paintings show that there was a decapitated statue on this spot before Aislabie bought the estate in the 1700s.
- The Serpentine Tunnel was designed to give guests of the Aislabies a gentle fright on their way up to the High Ride. It's still dark enough to be exciting today.
Families of the estate
Different families and groups of people have called Fountains Abbey & Studley Royal 'home' over the centuries.
Early years of the abbey
The story begins in 1132 with signs of unrest at St Mary's Abbey in York. 13 monks fled York under the protection of Archbishop Thurstan and were granted the land at Fountains to start a new abbey.
The monks were highly organised and lived their lives according to strict rules. The abbey grew in size, wealth and power throughout the 1200s
The Aislabie's Water Garden
John Aislabie inherited Studley at a young age but pursued a political career until 1720 when he was expelled from parliament due to his role in the South Sea Bubble collapse.
He then diverted his energies into creating his garden at Studley. The river was channelled into canals and formal ponds and geometric planting revealed delights.
Two estates become one
John's son William Aislabie inherited the estate in 1742. He was able to purchase the ruins of Fountains Abbey in 1767 and immediately set about incorporating the Abbey into the gardens of Studley.
He created a romantic atmosphere and built viewing platforms for his visitors to admire the follies across the estate.
From lead statues in the garden to classical buildings framed in designed vistas, discover the historical objects in the Fountains Abbey & Studley Royal collection.

I use lots of examples. I teach in all styles of learning: auditory, visually, and kinesthetically. Every child is different, so I tend to child's needs to the best of my ability. My motto has always been "teach to learn, I teach to apply." I've been through multiple school districts substituting, as well as having my own classroom. I know and understand the way children operate, so I can manipulate that to my advantage.
I have been a part of the public and private school system. I was a Mathematics teacher for Junior High, at a private school, and I have substituted in six districts, grade levels Kindergarten through eighth grade. I hold students expectations to the highest and I intend to bring those students to my level. I treat all children with respect just like I would another adult.
Currently, I work as a GED teacher for reading and writing. Since January of last year, I hold a 75% pass rate for writing and a 92% pass rate for reading. I am a very successful teacher.

Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I play in an adult league, where I play as center and power forward. I average six points a game, with six rebounds. I am 6"3' and 240 pounds. We run a 2-3 zone defense (two at the top of the key, two on the wings, one in the center of the key). In addition to zone, we play man defense to change up routine. We run plays like clock killing and pic 'n roll to confuse our opponents. I can teach all of these skills to students.
I am 6"3', 240 pounds. I have 23% body fat. I lift weights four to five days a week. I can bench press, deadlift, and squat more than my own weight. I have been lifting weights and have been active for more than seven years.
I play chess competitively. I am active on both online and live chess games. I currently hold an international rating.
I've taught almost all types of mathematics. When I taught high school, we used discrete math a majority of the time. We focused in on objects mainly, but I explained the process thoroughly.
I am an avid enthusiast and participant. I understand the rules and guidelines of the game. I have been playing football for years. I used to play wide receiver where I would run hot routes (easy catch) or streaks and posts. Since I am tall, the quarterback used to lob the ball to me about 15 yards out of the endzone and I would grab the ball, because nobody could jump higher than me.
I have been playing electric guitar for years now. I play classic rock mostly. I use Pentatonic Scales patterns one through five, mostly for solos, and Harmonic Minor for mood music. I am confident that I can tutor others.
I am a freelance computer technical support agent. I have been working on computer networks for years. I used to work for DLink routers as an over the phone tech, and screen share tech for four years. We serviced routers, hubs, switches, and cables (CAT 5 types).
I'm a teacher. It requires lots of public speaking. In college, I gave many speeches and projects with lengthy topics. I know how to speak in public.
I've taught my two nieces and godson how to swim. My dad, at the age of 60, finally learned how to swim. It's all a matter of coordination and understanding how the body is able to stay afloat without much thought.

Create a decorative ribbon using paper.
What your need:
Utility knife
Hot glue gun or craft glue
Paper in assorted colors
Hole punch
Straight edge
Step 1: Cut long strips of paper about an inch wide
Step 2: Use a hole punch to create holes in your paper strip.
Step 3: Bend and curl the strip to whatever shape you want. Be creative.
Step 4: Add a small bead of glue to the ends of your paper strip to hold the bends of the paper strip in place.
Step 5: Repeat steps 1-4 as many times as you like. I used about four strips to make my topper, but you can use less or more.
Tip: Create all your bended strips first, then attach them to your present, that way you can play with how you want the finished paper topper to look.
Alternative ribbon
Repeat Step 1 from above, but instead of punching holes, use your utility knife to cut four to five slits in the paper. Make sure the slits' endpoints are about 2 inches from ends of the paper strip.
Then repeat Steps 3-5.

Firefighter Jobs, Career Opportunities, Practice Tests - Maximizing Fire Department Employment Performance
Got Job is a comprehensive firefighter and EMT/paramedic job search website with fire service career opportunity data specializing in firefighter oral interview prep, firefighter psychological prep, fire fighter and EMT/paramedic practice tests, and CPR certification resources. Another feature are our teacher certification and nurse certification study guides/tests to help the firefighter nation and their families succeed in these noble professions. If you have an employment or certification test to prepare for, we have practice exams and prep manuals to maximize your performance. In the fire service industry alone, for every one opening, there are approximately 100 candidates applying. With this kind of competition, every point counts. The key is to be better prepared than the other candidates.
"Find me a job" is a very common inquiry at the fire academies. Every year, thousands of firefighter recruits dedicate hundreds of study hours and thousands of dollars in becoming a firefighter, but are not taking the fire department pre-employment hiring and screening process seriously enough to get a firefighter job. Only after a fire department candidate passes all the pre-employment tests with excellent ratings, then a job offer will be extended. Achieving "most valuable recruit" of your class, or getting straight A's in your Bachelor's degree studies, or obtaining a Master's degree will not get you a job offer. To get a fire job, a fire department candidate must maximize their performance in all the pre-employment tests. Finding a fire job is becoming more difficult.

Based on Linear Matrix Inequality Stability Analysis of Neutral Delay Systems
The asymptotic stability of the neutral systems with norm-bounded uncertainties and time-varying delays were discussed by using the method of LMI. The results were expressed in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Compared with some existing results, the criteria obtained in our paper are less conservative.

Review: Thornton Dial at NOMA
February 28th, 2012
"I mostly pick up stuff," says Thornton Dial when asked about his creative process. "Then I look at it and think about life." In his early 80s, the former Pullman railroad car fabricator has had a lot of time to think, but his sculptural works are not "naive" and his illiteracy has not limited his outlook.…

A year on from unveiling its 2010 livery, the Walkinshaw Racing and the Toll Holden Racing Team have unveiled this season's VE Commodore Series II V8 Supercar Championship livery.
Dropping Red Rooster from pride of place on the bonnet, Toll HRT will be powered by Rockstar Energy Drink - its branding now featured on the bonnet, roof and wing of the 2011 car.
Sitting alongside the new metallic version of the iconic driver and lion graphic and the new Toll identity, UD Trucks and ROH Wheels have also joined Toll HRT as major sponsors this year.
The unveiling of the new car follows the death of team owner Tom Walkinshaw, who lost his battle with cancer in December.
"Tom expressed to me during his illness, the need to ensure processes that kept his legacy intact and I am proud that we have successfully achieved that, from Board level to the factory floor. I will miss a great friend and colleague but I am determined that his life's work will live on in HSV," HSV boss Jeffrey Browne said at the time.
Driver James Courtney said he was excited about the opportunity to rejoin the team that kick started his V8 career, returning as the reigning V8 Supercar Champion.
"I am super excited about the opportunity to drive for the Toll Holden Racing Team, especially as defending Champion. My goal is to be the driver to deliver the team its next title," Courtney said.
Courtney said working alongside 2007 Series Champion Garth Tander would be a motivating factor in his quest for back-to-back titles.
Tander said he was thrilled with the look of his new car and looking forward to the challenges of a new season and working with his new team-mate.
"Peter Hughes and John Leung have done a tremendous job with the new logo and livery, it gives us a refreshing start to the year," Tander said.
"Last year did not deliver the results the Toll HRT had hoped for, but our car showed good speed at times. We now have a challenge of getting the team back to the top where we were in 2009," he added.
The new-look Toll Holden Racing Team will hit the track for the first time in 2011 this Saturday (29 January) for the official V8 Supercar Pre-Season Test at Sydney's Eastern Creek Raceway.
The first race in the 2011 International V8 Supercar Championship is the Yas 400 at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi on 11/12 February.

5 years agoLooks good - now make it go good HRT. Courtney should be front runner from round 1.
- Exactly MJ, I can't believe people still follow this garbage.
- MotorMouth says,
5 years agoAs opposed to what other racing series? V8SCs is definitely the best motor racing I have ever seen and most other series around the world do things in a very similar way these days. The racing is very close and the standard of driving, engineering and everything is as good as, if not better than, any other series, up to Formula 1. If you don't like V8SCs, then you really don't enjoy motor racing at all, because motor racing doesn't get much better.
And before you start whining about it being only Holden and Ford, have a look at the German equivalent, DTM - in a country with at least five manufacturers, they also only have two brands competing. Worse still, Audi is one of them and they don't even sell a RWD car, but that is exactly what they race in DTM. Both the British and World Touring Car series also feature only a very few manufacturers and most of the privateers drive older model cars that sometimes aren't even available new any more.
- Patrick Lyons says,
5 years agoMotorsport Legend Murray Walker says that our V8 Supercars are the best Touring Car Category in the world better than DTM and BTCC. There are also a number of Euro Drivers who are lining up to have a go driving a V8 Supercar in the Enduros.
If you look in a V8 Supercar Car park there are more cars than just Holdens and Fords.. there are a considerable number of Euros and Jap cars - which indicates the V8 fans want to see good clean fast racing whihc is what the V8s give them.
Then there are those who don't like Holdens or Fords but keep asking for a real production car series with more manufacturers. It already exists its called the GT-Production series which is a support category to the V8s.
Which means that not everybody at the track is necessarily a V8 fan or a bogan - if anything they are a badge snob which IMO is just as bad
- Steve Thompson says,
5 years agoI think Cochrane is a master spin doctor. Those 'second only to AFL' TV ratings I'll be willing to bet, relate to the enduro rounds (Bathurst in particular) . The TV audience during the regular rounds has been waning I read....
I loved Group A, even if the local manufacturers didn't always win, they (Holden) built better road going models to match it with the Japs and Euro's.
- MotorMouth says,
5 years agoNo they didn't, nothing from that era can possibly compare to a VE or FG. Holden and Ford build great cars because they can and because that's what people want.
- The factor that people actually follow this formula beggars belief. Calling them boguns or yobs does boguns and yobs a disservice.
The Bathurst 12 Hour will be on in a few weeks, bringing together the big guns from Volkswagen, Nissan, and for you General Motors and Ford aficionados performance derivatives of both. There will be a vast variety of machines competing. All machines are derived from their various manufacturers. Get along and see an authentic test of performance of your icon.

Power, Ignorance, and Anti-Semitism:
Henry Ford and His War on Jews
by Jonathan R. Logsdon
At the same time Ford was being lauded as an anti-Semite hero in Europe, he was confronted with another lawsuit in America. This one came from Herman Bernstein, the same man who had helped to expose The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion as a forgery. In the August 20, 1921 issue of the Independent, Bernstein had been identified as the source on the Peace Ship who revealed to Ford the supposed worldwide Jewish conspiracy. "He told me most of the things that I have printed," Ford claimed in the article, which labeled Bernstein "the messenger boy of international Jewry."167 An outraged Bernstein denied the allegations and, in 1923, sued Ford for $200,000. He told the press that he was doing a public service by allowing the American people to get a "true picture" of Ford's "diseased imagination."168
Ford, however; was too preoccupied with other matters to pay much attention to the lawsuit. Instead, he was focusing all of his efforts towards acquiring Muscle Shoals. Muscle Shoals was the series of dams and power plants that would later be known as the Tennessee Valley Authority. After World War I, it was decided by the government to open the newly created area to private development. Ford saw it as a chance to create an ordered society away from the big cities, which he despised.
As with all his schemes, Ford took this one to the press, declaring at one point that his plans for the property would "benefit the whole world" and would even "eliminate war...."169 However; he was only offering $5 million for a project that had cost the government $85 million and that was worth $8 million in scrap alone.170 His offer was met with open resistance in the Senate, and his bid for the property was in danger of never gaining government approval. In an effort to win public support, Ford visited farmers living in the Muscle Shoals valley and had the Independent publish articles that championed the "American farmer." However; in order to supply a steady stream of articles and to give Ford a "crusade" for the farmers, a more focused campaign was needed.
On April 23, 1924, the Jewish articles resurfaced on the pages of Ford's paper. "Jewish Exploitation of the American Farmer's Organizations: Monopoly Traps Operate Under the Guise of Marketing Associations," ran the headline. The opening line supplied the tone for the series that was to follow: "A band of Jews-bankers, lawyers, moneylenders, advertising agencies, fruit packers, produce buyers, professional office managers, and bookkeeping experts- is on the back of the American farmer."171 A typical article would show a picture of a celery field, with the accompanying caption reading: "Every stalk of celery.. .pays direct tribute to Jewish domination of the cooperative marketing system in this section of the United States."172 As with the previous series, these articles used a number of prominent Jews as scapegoats for the accusations, including Bernard Baruch, Albert Lasker; Otto Kahn, Eugene Meyer; and Julius Rosenwald. However; the main thrust of the campaign was directed at Chicago lawyer Aaron Sapiro.
Aaron Sapiro was a proud, controversial figure notorious for his short temper. Born in poverty and raised in an orphanage, he had originally studied to become a rabbi. He later switched over to law and eventually worked as a cooperative organizer for fruit growers in California. Most of the Independent's attacks centered on his "Sapiro Plan." This plan involved organizing farmers under cooperatives in an effort to eliminate middlemen and wholesalers and, in the process, increase farm profits. By 1925, the Sapiro Plan possessed a membership of 890,000 farmers nationwide and had the endorsement of the National Council of Farmer's Cooperative Marketing Association. According to The New York Times, Sapiro was the leader "of one of the greatest agricultural movements of modern times."173 He often stated that money meant nothing to him when he was dealing with the farmers. Nonetheless, Sapiro was as famous for his high fees as he was for their productive results.
William J. Cameron, once again, supervised the articles in the campaign. This time, however; they were actually written by a former newspaperman, Henry H. Dunn, under the pen name of Robert Morgan. In his correspondence with the Independent, Dunn said that proving the conspiracy was the hardest story that he had ever handled. Among the obstacles that he encountered was the fact that Jews and Gentiles were both equally active in the cooperatives. Another problem was that, although Dunn was convinced that Sapiro had "skinned the farmers out of thousands," the farmers were actually making more money than ever. Not surprisingly, it was hard to find ones who were willing to condemn Sapiro in print.174
The attacks made on Sapiro were incredible, even by the Independent's standards. Sapiro was charged with leading "a conspiracy of Jewish bankers" who were forcing farmers into the cooperatives. His Sapiro Plan had "turned millions away from the pockets of the men who till the soil and into the hands of the Jews and their followers."175 He was accused of using "strong arm" tactics and squads of Bolshevists in order to inject farm children with the germs of communism, so they would be "modeler's clay" in his hands.176 His non-Jewish associates were nothing more than "Gentile false fronts.., human camouflage of the international ring of professional aliens."177 Even Liebold commented to Ford, "You know, Cameron is going a little bit wild with this fellow, Sapiro." "That's just what I want," Ford responded. "Don't you interfere with Cameron. If he can get me into a lawsuit with Sapiro, that's just what I want. I'd like to see that fellow start a suit against me."178
Ford no doubt recalled his own libel suit and the trouble and ridicule it had brought him. He may have had a case, but it was The Chicago Tribune that had the influence. Now, Ford had influence of his own with The Dearborn Independent. With his newspaper; he seemingly had more than enough money and influence to win a case brought against him. He thought little of the Bernstein libel suit and now welcomed one from Sapiro.

(From the Community Caregiving Journal 3-word prompt Habit, Define, Top.)
Today marks my one-year anniversary of blogging on Caregiving.com — a habit that has helped save my sanity in more ways than I can count. Have a piece of cake!
(All chocolate. All the time.)
Honestly, I don't know where I'd be if I hadn't found this place. All of you have made a tremendous difference in my life, solely by being who you are and doing what you do. Denise, thank you sooo much for this haven!
Among the things that have made that difference are:
1. Validation. I find common ground here that I've found nowhere else. Feelings I've struggled with? They're here! Absurdities (to put it nicely) in medical, legal, and other systems of authority? They're here! All the times I've wondered, Why isn't this working? What am I missing? — this place teaches me that I'm in good (and awesome) company!
I am better able to define my situation and find my voice within it — including times when I define it differently than my partner and differently than the various authorities we've encountered.
2. Catharsis. I express things here that I express nowhere else. I come here when I think my partner should be fitted for a tinfoil hat. I come here when the skeletons in my closet need a place to run and play. I come here when the world I've been taught to believe in crashes down around me, and once all the smoke clears I see only — more smoke. I can let it all hang out and find out that I'm not alone. None of us is.
3. Fellowship! I want to put this word in big lights with party streamers and fireworks. You all have helped and continue to help me break through a wall of isolation thick enough to fracture Superman's hand if he tried to punch through it. Your support and cheerleading and the ways you all cope give me strength that I can't begin to measure. And in the midst of everything, we can still laugh and have fun together and be ourselves.
You're the Top! From the bottom of my heart, thank you all so, so much! 😀
Now, where was I?
As part of my adventures in self-care (catch-up edition), I went in on Monday for an eye exam and to be tested for glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration, especially since my genetic risk for those diseases is higher than average.
I'm fine on both. In fact, my eyesight is pretty good (20/25). As the optometrist put it, a prescription would do a better job than the magnifying reading glasses I buy at the supermarket, but it's no problem as long as I'm happy with the magnifiers.
For now, I'm happy with the magnifiers. My next eye check doesn't have to be for another two years.
The optometrist is about a quarter-mile from me and the weather was nice, so I walked — especially since those glaucoma eyedrops wouldn't wear off for a while. No driving for me that day!
I ended up hoofing it for three miles, for that day's workout.
On my way I stopped at the store where I buy my jeans. Now that I'm three sizes down from where I started last September, I needed more than the one pair that I was wearing. I lucked out — the store had a sale — and left with three pairs.
The cashier asked me, "Did you know you're getting two different sizes?"
"Yep," I said. "The 34s fit me now. The 32s are for inspiration."
Eating healthier food has been helping my eyes, too. The optometrist said that certain fruits and vegetables are especially good for the eyes. Spinach tops the list. Also high on the list are the red grapes that I eat as my post-workout snack. Yay for that habit! 😀
My partner is very happy that I got my eyes checked.
On Tuesday I went in for my mammogram (also overdue) and first-time bone density test. Then I stopped at the market for more red grapes and spinach! (And other items.)
My mammo pasties go there, right? 😉
Next week it'll be my partner's turn, as we head down to Tampa for her neuro appointment.

Smoking With Stefani Nellen
This is a tricky question, because you can tell so much about a person by knowing what attracts them—and I'm one of those writers who hope to keep her (boring) personality a secret!
But seriously, I had to think hard about an answer, because there are so many different levels on which I've felt/feel attraction, from the mundane (food, window screens, toothpaste) to the lovely (men, friends) to the sublime (literature, spiritual life goals). I think one very general thing or state that attracts me is silence, peace, contentment. The feeling you have after a long day of weeding the garden. Or when you know a story is finished. Or even when you spend the whole day out in nature hiking or having a picnic, perhaps with someone you're close to, and "there's nothing to do, no promises to keep." If we're in this state permanently we're either dead or depressed, and that's not good. So I guess I keep being attracted to the next "breather," especially now.
I'm currently working on a story exploring this idea. The main character has OCD and is always chasing the feeling of being "done" by succumbing to his urges and rituals. Fortunately (or not), he undergoes experimental brain surgery, which seems to solve his problem until... to be continued.
"The mother." Talk, if you could, about your use of this moniker for this character.
I have some stories in which the parents remain nameless: i.e., they're either Father or Mother. I do this to signify that their role as a parent is more important to the story than their individual traits.
"Attraction of Asphalt" is not about a specific mother and daughter; it is a story about a specific kind of situation: The moment when you realize that your parents—hitherto strong, trustworthy, infallible—have their weak and even dark side. I remember reading once that many children have a phase of nightmares in which their parents become monsters, signifying the disenchantment. Not everyone goes through a situation as dramatic and painful as Martina's in this story. Most of us remember finding out that our parents lied about Santa or that our parents have sex (yuck!), and we end up accepting it. Still, I believe that the moment we lose our complete trust in our parents is interesting to explore.
What can you tell us about the Netherlands?
Not as much as I would like! I know my bio says I live partially in the Netherlands, and that's true: Niels (who's Dutch) and I go there for three months each year because of his job. But I'm German, and I never lived in the Netherlands for an extended period of time. Which means I still feel like a tourist. It's still an enchanted place for me.
We live in Groningen, a University town in the North. Here are some random memories and snapshots:
We live in an old warehouse-turned-apartment building with thick walls and small windows. Our supermarket is called Albert Heijn, and they cater to the student population by selling half-prepared dishes like seasoned potatoes and pre-mixed stir-fry variants. There are cobblestone streets and canals and ships and houseboats and delicious chocolates, and wonderful dishes such as Stampot (potatoes, kale, and smoked sausage) and Witlof (endives wrapped in ham and cheese). The entire city center is a pedestrian area, but it is really ruled by flocks of students on bikes. Niels's PhD diploma is in Latin (they switched to English now). We got married in a church that is not a church anymore. They use it for art projects and exhibitions and the occasional non-religious wedding. When it gets cold you can smell the oil heaters on the ships when you walk along the canal. The Northern Sea is nearby, and on a Sunday you can take the ferry to an island called Schiermonnikoog. It's very quiet and windy, and it seems to have a reduced color spectrum: dune, sea, lighthouse-red, and deep blue. My favorite place on earth. I know this sounds like a theme-park, but it's a very modern, alive, down-to-earth place. We'll go back at the end of August.
What effect has Pittsburgh had on you and your writing?
I love Pittsburgh. I fell in love with it when I first came here in 2000 for some conference, and I still like it. It's such a normal, relaxed place, without this whole meta-awareness of being a great city (a la New York City or Berlin). And everyone has been so welcoming. Ugh, that sounds so slimy, but I'm serious.
Two aspects about Pittsburgh influence the content of my writing, I guess. First, there's CMU and this who academic scene, of which I'm not a part anymore, but I still get to watch from outside. CMU is big in robotics and AI and computer science, and I get to watch interesting events like the Robo Soccer Cup, and it's not unusual to see a group of geeks sitting on the lawn hunched over laptops, tumbled-over robots spinning nearby. But seriously, I'm extremely interested in these issues and glad to have this intellectual feed nearby.
Then there is the more general aspect of getting to know how life works here in the US—the greater scope of everything, buying a house just like that, adjusting your sense of perspective—New York is close by, but it's farther than, say, driving to Heidelberg from Groningen. And meeting so many fellow-foreigners is extremely interesting, too. Recently, we had some guests and noticed that we had as many different nationalities as people in the room. That's great. In Germany, it just doesn't happen.
The titles of the stories in this issue wowed me and got me thinking about the value of the great title. What are some great titles—for novels, stories, movies, albums, CDs, and the like? And what is the worst title you've ever encountered?
I wish I could come up with something completely hilarious, but I'm afraid the real turnoff, for me, are the bland titles. I have this tome here, The Half Brother, some big deal scandinavian masterpiece. Temptation to read? Zero. Or these Chuck Palahniuk one word titles: Choke. Lullaby. Haunted. Yawn.
Successful titles from my perspective are those that make sense (i. e. don't sound deliberately opaque) but seem to hint at some additional significance—for some reason I have to think of this De La Soul record, Three Feet High and Rising. It makes sense, yet what does it mean? Listen and find out. Or even, The Night Listener, As Meat Loves Salt, or The Right Stuff. They're all simple enough, and yet unusual. They make you wonder about the kind of book beneath the cover. Well, at least they make me wonder...

So if you want to see the famous flashers, the choice for U.S. travelers is a pretty easy one. The critters (Photinus carolinus, to be exact) put on their light show during their mating season each June, and the absolute best place to witness it is at the Elkmont Campground on the Tennessee side of the park (which straddles the Tennessee-North Carolina state line).
Bring a blanket to sit on and be prepared to wait until it's totally dark, about 10 p.m., when the show is at its most impressive.
They typically flash in short bursts 8 to 10 times, then everything magically goes dark for about 6 seconds before the cycle begins again. As the night deepens, the anticipation builds and the effect becomes more and more dramatic, with the fireflies blinking on in a wave effect. The tiny points of light look very much like strings of Christmas lights.
To see this illuminating phenomenon, you must either be a registered camper at Elkmont or ride one of the special event shuttle buses to the campground viewing area from the Sugarlands Visitor Center near the Gatlinburg entrance. This year, shuttle buses run from June 4 through June 11.
Bus tickets cost $1 per person, roundtrip, and you'll need to reserve a parking pass ($1.50 per car) in advance.
Katy Koontz was born and raised a Yankee but has lived in Knoxville, Tennessee, for more than 25 years. She's the author of Family Fun in the Smokies and the Smoky Mountain Travel Guide smartphone app.

2010 Scion tC Ownership Costs
Cost of Ownership data coming soon
There is no cost of ownership information available for the 2010 Scion tC Base Hatchback at this time
2010 Scion tC Base Hatchback 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.
