Confusion in Colorado over Obamacare
Buck lets Bennet off the hook.
4:27 PM, Oct 12, 2010 • By JEFFREY H. ANDERSON
Ever wonder why Republican challenger Ken Buck can't open up more of a lead against Sen. Michael Bennet in Colorado? Bennet, the Democratic incumbent, was not elected by the people (he was appointed) and yet brazenly thought he could get away with voting for Obamacare in a GOP-leaning (if only slightly) state. Based on the past three presidential elections, Colorado is 6 percentage points to the right of Wisconsin and 7 to the right of Pennsylvania, yet in those states the Republican is leading the Democrat by more than Buck is leading Bennet. So why can't Buck build a bigger lead (Real Clear Politics currently has him up by just 4 points) in what should be a shoo-in state for the GOP this time around?
Perhaps it's because he says things like this (during the candidates' debate last night in Pueblo), according to the Pueblo Chieftain:
In truth, however, even $500 billion is a low-ball figure. According to Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projections, Obamacare would cut spending on Medicare and related federal health care programs by $1.1 trillion over Obamacare's real first decade (2014 to 2023). The tally of about $500 billion ($479 billion, to be more exact) is what Obamacare would siphon out of Medicare in just six years (2014 to 2019).
To be clear, these Medicare cuts, or "savings," would be spent on Obamacare – not on making Medicare more solvent (or "stronger," as Andy Griffith asserts). Most of these cuts would come in the form of lowering Medicare reimbursement rates for hospitals and hospices, and from reducing funding for Medicare Advantage.
According to CBO projections, from 2014 to 2023 Obamacare would cut Medicare Advantage by about $25,000 for each of the 10 million seniors who are enrolled in that popular program. Two weeks ago, the Boston Globe reported that Harvard Pilgrim Health Care "will drop its Medicare Advantage health insurance program at the end of the year, forcing 22,000 senior citizens in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine to seek alternative supplemental coverage." A senior executive for the company said, "We became concerned by the long-term viability of Medicare Advantage programs in general.... We know that cuts in Medicare are being used to fund national health care reform."
Likewise, Obamacare's cuts (fancifully called "productivity adjustments") in Medicare hospital reimbursement rates would cause those rates to fall below even Medicaid reimbursement rates by the end of this decade. The Medicare chief actuary writes, "roughly 20 percent of Part A [hospital] providers would become unprofitable within the 10-year projection period as a result of the productivity adjustments" and therefore "might end their participation in the [Medicare] program."
If this is "the very heart of the health care reform bill," as Bennet asserts, one can see why it's so unpopular.
One wonders why Buck is letting Bennet, and Obamacare, off the hook. At least Buck is for repeal – he got a cheer from supporters when he said so during the debate – while Bennet stands by his pro-Obamacare vote.
Update: In response to this blog post, Ken Buck's press secretary told me that Buck agrees that $500 billion (and more) would be cut from Medicare to fund ObamaCare and that Buck is not confused on this point. He said that Buck was taking exception to Bennet's advertising, which he says is essentially all negative. He said Buck was saying that negative advertising is wrong (even, apparently, when it accurately highlights distinctions between the candidates, or flaws in the opponent's arguments), not that the claim that ObamaCare would cut hundreds of billions of dollars from Medicare was wrong.

MTSU running back Jeremiah Bryson, a former Smyrna High standout, has rushed for 355 yards this season.
The most recent time Jeremiah Bryson and Parrish Gaines shared time on the football field was as Smyrna High teammates in the 2010 BlueCross Bowl.
More than three years later, they will meet in another bowl, only as opponents.
"When I heard we were going to play Navy (in the Armed Forces Bowl on Monday), the first thing that popped in my head was Parrish," said Bryson, an MTSU sophomore running back. "We never thought this would happen after I left Pitt, but it's going to happen. It's going to be fun." ...

Mark Palmer asked a good question in respect of the stats. This is the extension of the comment to enable an understating of how they were (and still are) collected.
Working with a Chartered Firm we get to see a large number of clients. At the least there is a requirement for "information gathering". This is where we are engaged with a Financial Audit, but need to do a quick and nasty risk assessment of the financial systems for the client.
I run the team, so I (much to the disdain of many others) get to spend a little more time then is billed and have a lower productivity to offer a better result. Most auditors do not do this as it has direct financial consequences. My salary and bonus is tied to productivity. Most are. In the Big 4 firms this is even truer. This comes to a factor known as materiality that I will discuss later in the post. I prefer to offer value and hate not reporting on security issues. So in effect I do more than I am meant to.
There are over 500 clients, but we see some of these only every 2-3 years. Any of this type is excluded.
What is materiality?
Materiality is the point where the auditor really cares. This is set a fraction of the client profit; turn-over or whatever is being checked. If the audit was of stock and the client had a total value of $10,000,000 held in stock and materiality was set to 5% (a standard limit), materiality would be set at $500,000. We as auditors care about a loss of GREATER then the materiality limit. That is if the loss is less then $500,000, it is a SEP (somebody else's problem).
This also applies to the IT audit side when conducted as a component of the financial system. In the case of what we care about – it is current losses. So a data breach that could occur or a loss of private data is an MLP (management letter point) and no more. Financial Audits do not (and this is why I am naughty for doing the extra) care about potential losses.
Where the Stats come from
I have to do or oversee all of the IT work in the state. This is that for any complex (and now also non-complex) job, I have to verify the work and ensure that it was completed correctly. So even when I did not complete the audit, I have oversight and I trained those doing them.
As a statistician as well, I have an issue with the stats. They are naturally subject to bias. This is not personal bias, but rather these are representative of a chartered firm (being a mid-tier accountancy). They are not necessarily representative of the population; they are representative of the type of organisations that use a mid-tier firm. I can not extrapolate these to the population without comparable data from a Big 4 firm, and I do not see this occurring. (I do see that there are not many Snr Managers in the Big 4 willing to lower their productivity however ;)
I do see reports from Big 4 firms. I review them on a weekly basis. Again, these are reports for organisations that are not necessarily representative of the population. What I would really need is to have a TRUE random sample of organisation to make the statistics valid to the population. Even a small sample could be used to make an inference of the existing stats – but this would mean choosing 50 companies at random and doing an audit without being their auditor – never happen.
For the moment, these statistics are valid for the type of organisation that will use a mid-tier chartered accounting firm.
Complex - this is a client with a relational database, ecommerce, multiple systems etc
Non-complex - this is a client with a simple accounting package (eg MYOB or quickbooks).

Security Stats and how I got them.

The players: Jackson Rice, Jr.; Rob Beard, Jr.; Alejandro Maldonado, So.; Eric Solis, So.; Drew Howell, So.; Jeff Palmer, Jr.
Exiting March: Oregon's special teams were in fine shape coming off the 2010 season, after enduring a rocky finish on the placekicking unit when the Ducks cycled through three holders due to injuries. Punter Jackson Rice and Rob Beard were reliable performers as sophomores, and the snappers — Drew Howell on punts and Jeff Palmer on placekicks — were generally very solid. A late-season illness for Rice pressed Alejandro Maldonado into action after he'd been on track to redshirt, and a one-game suspension at the start of the year meant walk-on Eric Solis handled placekicks in the 2010 opener. The Ducks also had a quality stable of returners last season led by Kenjon Barner, Cliff Harris and Josh Huff, and some unheralded standouts on the return and coverage teams led by the likes of Marvin Johnson, Brian Butterfield, Bryson Littlejohn, Josh Kaddu, Bo Lokombo and Dion Jordan.
April developments: Beard was very consistent during spring drills, and while Rice didn't have many booming efforts that drew oohs and aahs in practice, he remains a steady presence. The same applied to the other specialists. Where the Ducks really looked special in the kicking team was on returns; it's always hard to project how things will go once the hitting is full-contact in the fall, but between the veteran returners and potential new faces like Dior Mathis, Brian Jackson and perhaps even Terrance MItchell and Troy Hill, there was a lot of big play potential whenever a kickoff or punt was fielded. And as the Ducks look to replace the likes of Johnson, Butterfield and Littlejohn, true freshmen Tyson Coleman, Issac Dixon and Colt Lyerla all got long looks on the various coverage and return teams.
May and beyond: Neither Beard nor Rice figures to be the best guy in the conference at his position, but you can do a lot worse than having reliable veterans in both kicking spots. And the return units should be among the best in the Pac-12.
From my position preview entering drills …
The Ducks will feel good entering the summer if: The kickers emerge healthy, having improved both the consistency and accuracy of their kicks.
Questions will linger into the summer months if: Either Beard or Rice gets banged up and a younger player is pressed into the spotlight.
One month later: Status quo. Beard and Rice look like the guys.
Imagining what will be on Sept. 3 … …
PK: Rob Beard, Jr.; Alejandro Maldonado, So.; Eric Solis, So.

Staff Pick

Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
From bestselling author Charlie Huston comes a novel about the fears that find us all during dark times and the courage and sacrifice that can save us in the face of unimaginable odds. Gripping, unnerving, exhilarating, and haunting, Sleepless is well worth staying up for.
What former philosophy student Parker Hass wanted was a better world. A world both just and safe for his wife and infant daughter. So he joined the LAPD and tried to make it that way. But the world changed. Struck by waves of chaos carried in on a tide of insomnia. A plague of sleeplessness.
Park can sleep, but he is wide awake. And as much as he wishes he was dreaming, his eyes are open. He has no choice but to see it all. That's his job. Working undercover as a drug dealer in a Los Angeles ruled in equal parts by martial law and insurgency, he's tasked with cutting off illegal trade in Dreamer, the only drug that can give the infected what they most crave: sleep.
After a year of lost leads and false trails, Park stumbles into the perilous shadows cast by the pharmaceuticals giant behind Dreamer. Somewhere in those shadows, at the nexus of disease and drugs and money, a secret is hiding. Drawn into the inner circle of a tech guru with a warped agenda and a special use for the sleepless themselves, Park thinks he knows what that secret might be.
To know for certain, he will have to go deeper into the restless world. His wife has become sleepless, and their daughter may soon share the same fate. For them, he will risk what they need most from him: his belief that justice must be served. Unknown to him, his choice ties all of their futures to the singularly deadly nature of an aging mercenary who stalks Park.
The deeper Park stumbles through the dark, the more he is convinced that it is obscuring the real world. Bring enough light and the shadows will retreat. Bring enough light and everyone will see themselves again. Bring enough light and he will find his way to the safe corner, the harbor he's promised his family. Whatever the cost to himself.
It is July 2010.
The future is coming.
Open your eyes.
"In Huston's impressive, challenging thriller set in a postapocalyptic Los Angeles, a devastating illness renders the afflicted unable to sleep. In about a year, those with SLP (as the sleepless illness is known) deteriorate and die. Amid the city's rampant violence and lawlessness, LAPD cop Parker 'Park' Haas tries to persuade himself that a future exists for his newborn daughter. As the outside world becomes increasingly dangerous, Park pursues an undercover investigation that takes him deep into the milieu of an online game called Chasm Tide, into which many people have retreated. As in the author's Joe Pitt vampire series (My Dead Body, etc.), this book has at its heart a love story: Park's wife is dying from SLP, and Park begins to fear he may be getting it, too. Can the mysterious mercenary known only as Jasper help? Some fans of Huston's crime fiction may not be comfortable with a novel that itself resembles a role-playing game, but it will gain him a whole new readership." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"A writer as skilled as Huston can make an apocalyptic story terrifyingly plausible. Readers prone to depression should approach with care." Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"With prose and characters sharply crafted, Charlie Huston immerses us in his well-imagined, hopeless hell....
In this gripping, unnerving, exhilarating, and haunting novel, Parker Hass works undercover as a drug dealer in a Los Angeles. He is tasked with cutting off the illegal trade of Dreamer, the only drug that can give the infected what they most crave: sleep.
About the Author
Charlie Huston is the author of the bestsellers The Mystic Arts of Erasing All Signs of Death and The Shotgun Rule, as well as the Henry Thompson trilogy, the Joe Pitt casebooks, and several titles for Marvel Comics. He lives with his family in Los Angeles.

text: Brian Pevear '10 was the overall winner among undergraduate and graduate students, professors, and professionals in a nationwide weather forecasting competition. Graduate student Alexander Jacques finished in the top 16. Both students qualified for the championship round of the Weather Challenge: the North American Collegiate Forecasting Competition by forecasting for two-week periods at 10 cities over the academic year and finishing in the top 64 out of nearly 2000 participants. The top 64 forecasters advanced to the tournament bracket and forecasted for three weeks last spring for Amarillo, TX. "Just being eligible for the end of the year tournament bracket is a tremendous achievement," said Eric Hoffman, chair of the Department of Atmospheric Science and Chemistry. "Both Brian and Alexander are clearly superior forecasters who are dedicated to the skill of applying the science they have learned in the classroom to making valuable forecasts."

I use a 100% all natural cotton muslin on the back of almost all my quilts.
I like this material because it's an all natural product and has no synthetic fibers in it and the cotton for it is grown right here in the US. It comes to me in a natural color that I always describe as oatmeal colored because most of it is a cream, but then there is these little tiny speckles of dark (just like oatmeal).
It feels just like any cotton….until you wash it and then it turns into this buttery soft goodness that I love so much. I use it in all my quilts with the exception of minky dot quilts, but it is in the rag quilts where it really stands out the most I think.
On a rag quilt all the little edges poke out in every seem, so you can see the muslin on the front of the quilt and it rags beautifully. There is nothing like it. I've used regular cotton, broadcloth, even flannel, but nothing in my opinion is better than muslin.
back of rag quilt dyed pale pink
I dye in very small batches, almost per quilt, so I never actually get the same color twice. There is always just a shade or two of difference.

Witch Hazel Review
Can This $2 Toner Really Improve Your Complexion?
Witch hazel is a flowering plant that is distilled into the astringent you'll find at drugstores. It's cheap — usually just two or three dollars for a huge bottle of generic witch hazel, which is what I've been using. Two weeks into this toning experiment I've made a few observations. For the pros and cons, read more.
Here's what I've discovered about being a witchy woman.
The good: It never fails to sweep up more dirt after cleansing. Plus, I have fewer blackheads and less redness than usual. Pores look smaller right after application. Even though the solution is 14% alcohol, it doesn't sting or leave my skin feeling too tight.
The bad: The smell is unpleasant, but it goes away in a minute. It might be too drying for non-oily complexions.
Overall, I'm pleased with this simple toner. It doesn't perform miracles, but it has definitely improved my skin for very little money. Not to sound like the kid from Better Off Dead, but it's just two dollars. Can't beat that. I'm curious: Have you used witch hazel, and if so, have you seen any results?

Moving to the Dallas area can be a stressful experience. The best moving advice is to get as much help as possible. DFW Moving Companies offer not only the loading and unloading of your items, but they also assist with packing your belongings and unpacking them in your new home or office. They have full service moving options across the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex.
Luckily, the majority of moving companies can also help with the packing services. Try contacting DFWMovingCompanies to get an estimate for your upcoming move. During a routine Dallas move, packing & moving companies will send workers to your current home. They know how to professionally pack your items. Each room in the house has an optimal way to be packed. Packing & moving companies will either pack all your belongings under previous instruction, or they will help you pack alongside other members of the family. Or get all your friends stretching from Uptown, to downtown, and across Dallas to pitch in and also help.
Once all the items are ready to go, packing & moving companies will load them onto their truck and transport them to your new location.
In addition to assisting with the packing and loading, packing & moving companies are also fully insured. This means that all your valuable items will be covered if for any reason they are broken or damaged in any way. Cargo insurance also ensures that if any items are damaged while in transit, they will be covered as well.
Upon arrival at the new DFW destination, packing & moving companies will unload all the cargo and set everything up in your new home or office. Unpacking service is also offered. It can be arranged for your items to arrive at the new location before or after you arrive. The packing & moving company can begin unloading and/or unpacking your belongings even if you are not there. They will adhere to instructions and unpack items to their proper place. This service is designed to ease the strain of moving across Dallas or to anywhere in the mid-cities area and provide a stress-free moving experience in Dallas, TX.
Most packing & moving companies also provide a junk removal service. Any items that you do not want to take with you or want removed from your new home can be loaded onto the truck and disposed of for you. There is no need to take an additional trip to a dump in order to rid yourself of unwanted furniture or items. Packing moving companies can do it all.

The True to Cinema Picture Concept
Panasonic has worked with Hollywood film studios at a laboratory that we have maintained in Hollywood over a long period of time to research image reproduction technologies. These activities have enabled us to accumulate the know-how necessary to faithfully reproduce original movie images on Blu-ray™ Discs. Now, we have applied these advanced 2D technologies directly to 3D movie reproduction, to achieve truly beautiful images with even more lifelike realism, depth and texture.
3D Effect Controller
The 3D Effect Controller lets you moderate the leaping effects of 3D images. It also lets you adjust the amount of depth, so you can view expansive images and enjoy movies with exactly the kind of 3D effects you want.
2D-3D Conversion
The 2D-3D Conversion makes it possible to convert images from DVDs and Blu-ray Discs into 3D with natural depth perception. So you can watch your prized DVD movie collection in 3D with real-life depth, for even greater viewing enjoyment.
FULL HD 3D Blu-ray Disc™ Playback
Advanced 2D image technology accumulated over the years at the Panasonic Hollywood Laboratory (PHL) has also been applied to 3D image playback, allowing high quality images to approach original film quality. Lifelike 3D images with dramatic leaping effects and enhanced depth, luster and texture are beautifully reproduced.
The True to Cinema Sound Concept
The Panasonic Blu-ray Disc™ home theater system was developed under the concept of reproducing an ideal cinema-like surround sound environment. Cinema Surround Plus increases the surround sound effect horizontally as with previous systems, and now enhances it vertically as well. The Anti-Distortion Speaker reproduces crisp, clear sounds to achieve True to Cinema sound quality.
Cinema Surround Plus
The Virtual Speakers created by Cinema Surround compensate for the lack of a surround effect to provide natural, smooth surround sound. Starting with the 2011 models, the same number of Virtual Speakers are arranged in the vertical direction as in the horizontal direction. This offers an enhanced surround effect not only horizontally but also vertically, so you can enjoy your favorite movies with a level of dynamic surround sound that you've never before experienced.
Clear Sound Digital Amplifier
The Clear Sound Digital Amplifier analyzes the difference between the input and output audio signals, and makes the necessary adjustments to produce an output signal with the same low distortion as the input signal. This results in sound that is highly faithful to the original sound source.
Built-in Wi-Fi System
A Wi-Fi system is built right into the main unit, so you can enjoy VIERA CASTTM and BD-Live content without having to connect the Blu-ray Disc™ player with a LAN cable or wireless LAN adaptor.
*A wireless LAN environment is required.
ARC (Audio Return Channel)
The home theater system is compatible with the ARC (Audio Return Channel) feature. ARC makes it possible to receive audio signals from the TV, on top of the preexisting HDMI function of sending audio/video signals to the TV with just one cable. This feature simplifies connection by eliminating the audio cable connection between the TV audio output and the main unit's audio input.
* ARC compatible TV is required.
VIERA CAST™ has been further enhanced with CinemaNow and Vudu, which allow you to stream movies. You can also access other content from the special VIERA CAST™ screen. And you can check weather and stock information on other sites.

text: I just started work at this company and happily went to work to create a new dialog for the program. As usual, I created the dialog and then right clicked on add class. the class wizard came up, I enterd all the info, hit OK and it crashed. Now I have been told that none of the wizards, including add variable, add event handler, and the class wizard do not work in this work environment. The only thing I can see that is different from projects I worked on at my old company is that the resouce file is in a different project than the application project. They say they do this to facilitate localization. Is there anyway to marry the Resource project with the applicatoin project?

*If God is for everyone, why the references to "God's chosen people"?
Joel's response: God's chosen people (Israel) are not chosen in terms of being preferred over other nations. In fact, even in the OT, various "gentiles" demonstrated faith in the one true God of the Bible & they were included & accepted into the community. Rather, they were chosen in the sense of choosing them to bless, or reach, THE WORLD. The way that Gd would bless the entire world through Abraham, as God promised (see Gen. 18:18-19; 22:17-18), even though he only had one child (Isaac) was through Abraham's descendants, the Jewish nation…and ULTIMATELY through the Messiah, the anointed One, Christ Jesus!
In addition, the nation of Israel was chosen to be a light to the world & to know who God was & how to engage with the one true God. i.e. God wanted them to stand out to point people to Him…not because they were better than others. (They stood out from other nations in how they spent their time, ate, worshipped, lived, sang, etc…)
note: When we are chosen, it is human/sinful nature to think that we are better than others, which explains why some of the Jews/Israelites (esp. religious leaders) thought of themselves as superior to Gentiles. Jesus' own teachings & eventually His followers (ex: the apostle Paul) crush this notion of superiority as we read in the NT. All are welcome. Are are invited. "For God so loved the world that WHOEVER…"
*How do we reconcile the heavy-handed God of the Old Testament with the gentle character we see in Christ in the New Testament?
Joel's response: The world prior to God's Word & His Spirit was in general very dark & wicked. Attrocities even including things like child sacrifices, cannibalism, etc… Apparently it got so bad at one time that God even chose to start over (The Flood)!
Genesis 6:5-9 says…
5 The LORD saw how great man's wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time. 6 The LORD was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain. 7 So the LORD said, "I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth—men and animals, and creatures that move along the ground, and birds of the air—for I am grieved that I have made them." 8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD. 9 This is the account of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked with God.
The point is that this degree of sin & wickedness will eventually destroy itself. (This helps to explain why God even commanded His people to obliterate other incredibly wicked nations in the Old Testament.) We see judgment as being "mean" or "unkind", but would it be right to allow someone who killed my son to be let go without consequences? Obviously not. So, in this way, God demonstrates His wrath not in being "mean", but in being fair & just.
That said, we should remember that the God that we see in the OT continues to be a God who is loving, compassionate, gracious, patient, & forgiving.
Exodus 34:6-7 says…
6 And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, "The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, 7maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation."
Also see 2 Chronicles 30:9; Nehemiah 9:17; Psalm 86:25; Psalm 103:8; Psalm 145:8; Joel 2:13; Jonah 4:2. These are central verses in the OT. God is described as compassionate & loving then too!!! (note: Using the word "then", as I just did, to describe God is a bit inappropriate since God is not bound by time nor does His character change over time like ours does.)
As an aside, the wrath of God is not most clearly seen in the OT — it's actually the NT when we see His wrath unleashed most swiftly & righteously in the end times. (note: BTW, we also see Jesus' anger in the NT…like when he kicks butt in the temple. Matt. 21:12; Mark 11:15-17) >> Is Jesus meek? Yes. Patient? Yes. Compassionate? Yes. Loving? Yes. Just? Yes. A pushover? No. One to be dismissed or trifled with? No.
The point I am making is that God is loving in both the OT & the NT — and that God is just in both the OT & the NT. The difference is that we see the clearest picture of God's love in Jesus taking on our punishment & paying for our sins on the cross in the NT…but God's character remains always the same.

Some of the world's top chess players went eye-to-eye in the year's highest-level 'blindfold' chess tournament -- seen by some as the toughest challenge in the game. Unable to physically see their own or their opponent's past moves, the players summoned headache-inducing levels of concentration to fight for gold in a silent conference room, lined up in front of laptop screens showing a blank board.

Eirinn: Day 3
Tuesday 4th September 2007
The weather was holding, and Killarney National Park was next on the itinerary. The park covers 25,000 acres of spectacular mountain, moorland and woodland scenery. At its centre, three large lakes serve as a focal point for this sprawling semi-wilderness.
Ross Castle sits perched on the edge of the lower lake, Lough Leane.
The castle benefits from inhabiting a beautiful and tranquil location, tucked away at the end of a small road some distance from Killarney town. However, the real draw lies across the waters.
Boats leave regularly from the castle quay, taking visitors on guided tours around the lake. However, for a smaller fee, a tiny launch will carry the visitor on a ten minute journey over Lough Leane to the Isle of Innisfallen. Once there, the occupants of the boat - six others, on this occasion - will be left to enjoy the isle in glorious isolation until the boat returns an hour later.
It's truly difficult for words to do justice to Innisfallen. Lough Leane is a vast and beautiful lake, surrounded by wooded shores, with mountains visible in the distance. As a backdrop, it evokes a sense of romantic wilderness that carries the visitor back a thousand years, to a time when the land was still raw and wild. What a spot then for this densely wooded isle - itself a reclusive gem, peaceful and sublime, bewitching in its charm. What a place this must have been when the early Christian monks chose to found a community here, right on the edge of the known world.
The footfalls of the monks can still be felt here. Their presence has been indelibly stamped on the isle, and like so many places in Ireland, the past hangs a mere heartbeat away. The modern world hasn't yet intruded upon this quintessential Eden, and for now, it remains possible to reach out with the imagination and cross the borderlands that separate us from our past. Inisfallen Priory is a place of restful beauty, outstanding and unique, untouched in its perfect tranquillity by any other monastic site in Britain.
The hour passed too quickly (although the visitor can choose to remain longer and return on a later boat), and soon the waters were receding into the distance.
Muckross Abbey was the next stop. Situated on the edge of the Muckross House estate, the abbey dates back to the 15th Century and is one of Ireland's best preserved Franciscan houses. Unfortunately, the weather was overcast by the time I arrived here, and the church was covered in scaffolding, undergoing renovation.
Upon arriving back on the Beara peninsula, the sky was starting to clear again, leaving just enough time for a visit to the stone circles of Cashelkeelty.
Cashelkeelty is reached by following the Beara Way from the main road, with a small car park conveniently located close by. A single standing stone can be spotted lurking in the undergrowth.
From the road, the path climbs steeply up through wooded terrain, roughly following the course of a stream that runs down from the mountains above. It can be slippy and muddy underfoot, making the ascent potentially difficult in bad weather. On this occasion, travelling uphill beneath the canopy of trees was a pleasant (if mildly exerting) stroll.
After five minutes or so, the path breaks out from under the trees, crosses a small wall, and leads the visitor onto wild moorland. I found the scenery here very reminiscent of Dartmoor - bleak, but also inspiring and beautiful.
The path skirts the side of the woodland, still cimbing - mostly gently - towards the higher slopes where the Cashelkeelty circles sit.
I was struggling by the end of it though, since I was moving at a fair pace, hoping to catch the last of the evening light as it illuminate the stones. I was also burdened down with a fair amount of camera equipment, making the the walk rather strenuous. I was able to reach the stones in time, catching them as they sat bathed in the golden sunlight of the dying day.
Like all of Beara's ancient sites, Cashelkeelty is dramatic and evocative, benefiting from the stunning scenery that surrounds it. I moved around the stones, taking as many photographs as I could before I lost the light, enjoying the sense of interaction that this hobby brings. It's a curious way of connecting with a place, but I've always felt that composing photographs really draws the photographer closer a subject.

Country Life
Attics and sheds are full of old things from long ago. This year we asked Primary Students to look for an interesting object from the past and tell us all about it. There were two categories: art and written.
This year's competition 'Forgotten Objects' really caught everyone's imagination. It was very popular with 197 entries. Some schools and classes took it on as a project with a 'show and tell' day or a 'forgotten objects' table in the classroom.
Students from Junior Infants to sixth class went out of their way to find their 'forgotten object' and a lot of thought and effort went into each students work. There was a great variety of objects including horseshoes, old photographs, gramophone, helmets, coins, typewriters, a World War One 1 medal, a high nelly bicycle and a bosco doll to name a few!
Talented young writers and artists across the country entered the competition. In the written category we received wonderful poems and short stories. In the art category there is a mixture of paintings, drawing, collages and photographs.
Congratulations to the winners! Well done to all primary students for entering the competition and thanks to helping teachers and parents. Entries can be viewed on the Community Archive Network website, or the National Museum of Ireland Facebook page, and you can download a pdf with the winning entries:

The NYT launched a new blog on adoption and though it's not meant to solely focus on transracial adoption of Asian children, there's certainly a great deal of content oriented around those relations right now. It is well worth reading though prepared to be seriously perturbed.
Relative Choices
I've said this for years but we're in the midst of seeing the first major waves of Asian adoptees (mostly Korean) come of age in America and as this happens, the conversations that are likely to arise will be fascinating to consider, especially in thinking about how the next wave (mostly Chinese) children grow up.

AIM: The selection criteria for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) to undergo liver transplantation should accurately predict posttransplant recurrence while not denying potential beneficiaries. In the present study, we attempted to identify risk factors associated with posttransplant recurrence and to expand the selection criteria.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: Adult patients with HCC who underwent liver transplantation between November 2004 and September 2012 at our centre were recruited into the current study (N = 241). Clinical and pathological data were retrospectively reviewed. Patients who died during the perioperative period or died of non-recurrence causes were excluded from this study (N = 25). All potential risk factors were analysed using uni- and multi-variate analyses.
RESULTS: Sixty-one recipients of 216 qualified patients suffered from recurrence. Similar recurrence-free and long-term survival rates were observed between living donor liver transplant recipients (N = 60) and deceased donor liver transplant recipients (N = 156). Total tumour volume (TTV) and preoperative percentage of lymphocytes (L%) were two independent risk factors in the multivariate analysis. We propose a prognostic score model based on these two risk factors. Patients within our criteria achieved a similar recurrence-free survival to patients within the Milan criteria. Seventy-one patients who were beyond the Milan criteria but within our criteria also had comparable survival to patients within the Milan criteria.
CONCLUSIONS: TTV and L% are two risk factors that contribute to posttransplant recurrence. Selection criteria based on these two factors, which are proposed by our study, expanded the Milan criteria without increasing the risk of posttransplant recurrence.

What do Paladino and New York welfare recipients think of the 39% decline in Caputal Region home sales, and what that says about consumer confidence, spending, tax revenues, and monies available for social programs? It is the economy, stupid!
I'm not a fan of overgeneralizations about the personal habits of social program recipients… or anyone else for that matter. The following is not meant to belittle anyone but, in my opinion, there is a true dis-connect between "being symptom-free" and "quality of life" in medical social programs. Yes, doctors and medical personnel are busy, and I'm not saying it's their fault. I think that the social programs could really step up.
This type of hygiene education is needed in certain circumstances. Take this example: a person suffering from a disabling condition (regardless of type) may have difficulty maintaining themselves. Perhaps it's lack of facilities, lack of social support, or related to a symptom of the disabling condition. In my opinion, if someone who gets assistance, and comes in for any type of mental/physical health service, that it should be the duty of the medical entity to ensure that the client is offered the use of a shower, a clothes wash, etc. Yes, some folks may refuse that service, but I think that if they are given the support and encouragement, these folks will be able to give themselves a boost both physically and emotionally– and will improve their quality of life.
in more than a few NYS (upstate) schools they line kids up to wash their hands and brush their teeth 2 times a day… it is a big problem, though, the cartoon is not at all representative of what Paladino was getting at… but what does that matter.
