I learned the basics, but I never got to actually WIN a game because moving the pieces doesn't equal strategy. Plus, as a kid, I would cry if my brother captured my queen. I promise I've outgrown that. :0)
Weekday evenings, weekend late mornings, afternoons.
Grew up watching my dad teach my brother. My brother is a hell of a good player. I always wanted to be good enough to play the game with him and make him TRY!

Even the movie's full title — "Anvil! The Story of Anvil" — gives off a rich whiff of Spinal Tap. And the obscure Canadian metal band this terrific documentary resurrects has many of the trappings of that other group of lovable losers, but all of them real — not least the demented belief that, after nearly 30 years of cruel, soul-shriveling neglect, a long-awaited Big Break is still just around the corner.
The movie opens on Anvil singer and lead guitarist Steve "Lips" Kudlow and drummer Robb Reiner (tap, tap, tap) in Toronto, where they now make the rent by dint of glamorless manual labor. Back in 1982, though, they were touring the world with such masters of rock as Whitesnake, Bon Jovi and Scorpions. They had it all — the hair-band hair, scarves and tights, Marshall stacks the size of refrigerators. Occasionally, in tribute to the sainted Jimmy Page, Kudlow would rake the strings of his Flying V with a hot-pink dildo.
More pertinently, though, Anvil were onto something new musically. As was apparent on their (relatively) celebrated second album, Metal on Metal, the group had kicked the sometimes sludgy rhythms of classic heavy metal into overdrive — anticipating by about a year the onslaught of such new-wave shredders as Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, and Megadeth. So what happened? Well, Slash — one of several famous Anvil fans who turn up here to pay homage — puts it most pithily: "Everybody just sort of ripped them off, and then left them for dead."
It's the oldest of rock stories: Anvil got screwed all around — by record labels, producers, promoters. But in defiance of every species of common sense, they never gave up. And they're still at it. (Kudlow and Reiner are the only remaining original members, but the group's current lineup has been together for more than a decade.)
This is where Sacha Gervasi entered the picture. Gervasi is a screenwriter by trade (he worked on Steven Spielberg's "The Terminal"), but way back in the day he briefly slaved as an Anvil roadie. Reestablishing contact with the boys, he discovered that their weary career was perking up again. As the movie gets underway, they learn that a diehard Euro fan has booked them onto a five-week Continental tour, from Sweden, Spain and Denmark to Finland, Croatia and Poland — and beyond. (Exulting in advance over one of the more exotic engagements that's been penciled in, Lips enthuses, "Even the mayor of Transylvania's supposed to show up.") Need it be said that the tour is a disaster — missed trains, chiseling club owners, gigs performed in front of six, maybe seven people? The band makes not a cent. (Although they do encounter some illustrious old pals who are still on the road, like ex-Scorpion Michael Schenker — "The Beethoven of lead guitar players," Kudlow sighs.)
Back in Toronto again, bummed but unbowed, Kudlow and Reiner decide to send a demo of some new songs to Chris Tsangarides, the Brit-based producer of their two best early albums. (He also produced Sabbath — and Priest!) Spinal Tap fans will especially savor this segment, in which the band flies to England to record in Tsangarides' studio, and discovers not only that he has an audio meter that goes up to 11, but that Stonehenge is not at all far away. (Naturally, they visit.) Soon they have all their new music down on disc — album number 13. They decide to call it This Is 13. Now if only they can find a label. …
You can imagine what happens next. Well, no you can't. The movie is an intoxicating blend of blind faith and heartbreak, but while it's very funny, the abundant laughs are only half of what makes it such an unexpectedly inspiring document. Gervasi and his sizable crew (this was not a cheap picture to make) push in close on Anvil's seemingly ridiculous dream, with all its attendant spats and tears and vintage humiliations, and find it to be not really ridiculous at all. There's something heroic about these two men, edging into their 50s, refusing to admit defeat at the hands of the music industry, or whatever it is that's been responsible for cheating them of the recognition that should have long ago been theirs. Kudlow is a preposterously optimistic character — he'll go to his reward thinking up some nifty new riff — and we see that he drives Reiner nuts. But the drummer knows this is the only shot at glory he'll ever have, and he can't give it up, either. At the end, you'll want to cheer. Especially since (spoiler) everybody else does.
(Both TV and DVD rights to "Anvil! The Story of Anvil" have been acquired by MTV's sister channel, VH1.)

ATTN: DC-area documentary filmmakers
Docs In Progress is holding an all-day workshop next Saturday, January 23 in Silver Spring which is focused on fundraising for documentaries. This workshop is appropriate for documentary filmmakers of all experience levels – whether you have never raised funds for an independent documentary or have been frustrated by your efforts to do so.
The focus will be on providing participants with concepts and tools that can help you learn how to develop a fundraising plan, track the fundraising effort, research potential donors, conduct a fundraising drive, and solicit grants from corporations and foundations. There will be plenty of handouts of samples. The workshop is being led by Sam Hampton, an experienced fundraiser. Dr. Hampton, in addition to being the Director of Planning and Special Projects for Docs In Progress and a documentary filmmaker himself, is also the Founding Partner of Hampton Consulting, LLC which works with nonprofit, philanthropic, corporate, and public sector clients on building their strategic plans and increasing their chances of fundraising success – elements which apply just as easily to documentary filmmaking.

Docs In Progress Documentary House, 8700 First Avenue Silver Spring, MD (walking distance to free parking and the Silver Spring Metro)
$250 (or $225 if you join Docs In Progress' new Docs Insider Program which gets discounts to many programs)

Christine Intagliata's presentation on Writing Documentary Treatments was so popular last Fall that we've brought her back to lead a three-night workshop on the same subject. She'll focus on how to take the film in your head and translate your ideas into words to help with fundraising or working with a specific client. Participants will receive samples of successful treatments and, because this is a longer session, will get to develop their own treatments during the course.
WHEN? January 28 – February 11 (three consecutive Thursday nights from 7:00 – 9:00 pm)
FEE? $250 ($225 for Docs In Progress DocsInsiders). Because of limited space for only 10 participants, advance registration is highly recommended.

Check it out Hank's Sundance Blog – Entry #2 -Sundance Scene and Overherd
...People come to the fest to walk main street and troll for celebs. I heard Ben Affleck was creating quite a crowd, and I passed Michael Chiklis today. The sidewalks are continuously blocked by flocks around someone 'famous'. I am so outa da loop that I am not recognizing many faces in these spontaneous crowds. I passed by one gaggle yesterday, and did not recognize the guy who was signing autographs. Then a young lady said she wanted to tell him how much she loved him on General Hospital. Main Street is always good for a chuckle.
At a panel yesterday on Media Marketing, a panelist referred to 'District 9' as an "independent film,†because it had a budget of $30 million. The crowd groaned. More proof that the 'indy film' label has become as ubiquitous as 'fat free'...

Independent Documentary Filmmaker Seeks Outreach and Marketing Intern
I am an award winning documentary filmmaker based in Brooklyn, New York who is just finishing a new experimental short documentary about remembering called FORGET ME NOTS.
I am seeking an intern who can help me research the markets I have targeted for the distribution of this film and to help me focus my audience outreach strategy. This person must be able to employ critical thinking skills, work independently and be familiar with Mac computers. Knowledge of Excel and/or FileMaker are a plus.
This is an opportunity to get hands on experience for a very small company (rather than answering phones at a big firm) and would be ideal for someone studying marketing/outreach and/or a documentary film student who wants to learn what grass roots distribution is all about.
To learn more about the film and my work please visit www.dempseyrice.com
To ask questions or to apply for the position please email a resume and cover letter stating your experience (as a student or professional), why you are interested in working for a small production company and what you bring to the table.
Thank you!

Rebel against the entrenched establishment. Reject authority, fight the power. Re-new your right for freedom and individuality. Docs can help us do that....right? Redford has said many times that docs are our last bastion of reliable truth since the traditional media... "has gone the way of the dodo.†And the docs this year at Sundance cover everything from Iraq to a female comedian's struggle to keep going despite the impenetrable boy's club. But do these films do anything to actually change the way Coke, Chevron and Citibank run the world?.... READ THE REST OF HANK'S BLOG

The New Deal for Feature Documentaries
Doc Alliance Films – www.docalliancefilms.com – the new online documentary portal for Video on Demand. Doc Alliance is a partnership between five key European documentary film festivals: CPH:DOX Copenhagen, DOK Leipzig, IDFF Jihlava, Planete Doc Review Warsaw and VISIONS DU REEL Nyon.
www.docalliancefilms.com offers permanent access to over 250 outstanding documentaries selected by the five partner festivals. New films are added monthly and each one can be acquired through streaming or download.
The aim of the Doc Alliance initiative is to support the diversity of feature documentaries and to convince audiences of the fascinating, moving and instructive aspects of the cinéma du reel where reality surpasses fiction and becomes spectacular.
Doc Alliance was born with the awareness that new initiatives are needed to promote remarkable films to a general market that is less permeable to their circulation and commercialisation and to approach various audiences in every conceivable manner, ranging from cinema, television, DVD to VOD, and other networks.
Its objective is to create an inventive and dynamic distribution platform for filmmakers and producers by offering attractive alternatives, debates, choices and perspectives.
Doc Alliance Films is proud to announce that it can now be found on YouTube and other social networking platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. Please keep checking the www.docalliancefilms.com for promotions and opportunities for viewers and filmmakers, as well as updates on new directions and initiatives of Doc Alliance, website upgrades and where you can find us next, from online publications to blogs and social networks.

NYC (Brooklyn) – I am in need of an assistant editor or a newbie editor who is looking for some experience but won't cost me much at all. I need to edit some materials for the DVD extras on a couple of projects (it's mostly cutting down interviews and similar stuff). Do any of you know anyone that is just starting out who might be interested? This is going to be in my home, so it's gotta be someone sane!

Affordable Web Design for Documentary Filmmakers
My name is Amanda Woods... I've posted here once before but it was many months ago and I'm sure my post is buried now, so I'm posting again.
I'm a beginning web design with a passion for documentaries. If you're in need of a website for yourself as a documentary filmmaker, or for a film, I'd love to work on it for you. I strive to keep my prices affordable and am willing to work within your budget. I'm also happy to work out payment plans if you're tight on cash.
My designs are clean and simple, nothing too fancy... not yet, anyway (I'm getting there). I would love the opportunity to work on more film sites, particularly ones in which a filmmaker can provide me with large still images from the film so that I can get a bit more creative/sophisticated with the design. Of course, I'll also work with your input.
You can learn more about my services and take a look at my samples on my website. Thus far, I've done mostly writer sites, so I'm not sure how well those will give you an idea of what I can do with a film site. But if you're interested in a website and if you're able to send me large images and a little bit of copy, I can play with those and give you some examples of what a site for you may look like before you commit to hiring me.
Here is my url:
You can contact me using the form on the website, or email me directly at:
Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you!

I'm on the hunt for an assistant/intern to work for D-Word founder, omnipresent host, and all-around galactic overlord Doug Block ("51 Birch Street") in the distribution and outreach phase of his new film, "The Kids Grow Up", as well as some work on several other feature docs. Our ideal candidate has a clear interest and ambition to work in documentary production, is a fast learner and fearless starter, and does not shy away from hard work. Internship would begin ASAP. Social media skills a plus.
Our office is located in Dumbo, Brooklyn. This is an unpaid internship, but a small travel- and meals stipend will be given – not to mention priceless knowledge and contacts. Also, we're small enough that a prospective candidate would find her- or himself in the middle of the hurricane, so to speak, but we're also big enough to work with some of the top broadcasters in the world.
If you know someone fitting, or want to apply yourself, please send an email to email@example.com telling me a bit about who you are, what you hope to learn from interning with us and working for Doug, and what you hope to achieve in the future. Thanks – we're looking forward to hearing from you!

On Friday nights in January, February and March, UnionDocs will screen six excellent films, all of which have been named named Pare Lorentz Award Winners by the International Documentary Association.
We are very fortunate to also have the opportunity to conclude the festival by showing four important works by this pioneer, Pare Lorentz. All of these are documentaries that inspire the best in all of us – films that address issues of social justice, political strife, and survival in a world with declining natural resources. Each screening will be followed by a discussion, with filmmakers and special guests in attendance.
UnionDocs is giving away 5 tickets per show (good for you and a guest) to the first 5 people who reach out to me. E-mail me at email@example.com and let me know you are interested in attending.

DocuClub in February!
Our February DocuClub will take place on Wednesday, February 24, 7 p.m., at DCTV, located at 87 Lafayette Street (at Walker; take N/R/Q/6 trains to Canal).
We will screen a rough cut of PAUL GOODMAN CHANGED MY LIFE by Jonathan Lee. The first documentary about Paul Goodman, the late social critic, poet, philosopher of education, or, as he called himself, "man of letters in the old-fashioned sense," it follows a biographical through-line and is structured around interviews with family, friends, peers, and activists from the peace, educational reform, and gay movements who today are found in Maine, Minnesota, Massachusetts, California, West Virginia, New York City, Vermont, Paris, and Catalonia, Spain. The interviews are interwoven with archival footage of Goodman and major events in which he was involved and photos made available by his widow Sally. Some interviewees include Noam Chomsky, Judith Malina, and Grace Paley. See a trailer here: http://www.paulgoodmanfilm.com/trailer.shtml.
Director/Producer Jonathan Lee served as producer of the FEAR OF DISCLOSURE PROJECT, a series of videos that explore the act of revealing that one is HIV+ or has AIDS, which began with a video by the late Phil Zwickler and David Wojnarowicz. Under Lee's direction, the project produced and distributed (IN)VISIBLE WOMEN, Ellen Spiro and Marina Alvarez, NON, JE NE REGRETTE RIEN (NO REGRET), Marlon T. Riggs, and OUT IN SILENCE & NOT A SIMPLE STORY, Christine Choy. From 1995-2003, Lee was the founder/director of the Maine Speakout Project, a statewide organization that trained and deployed volunteer speakers to share their personal experiences as sexual minority Mainers with mainstream groups throughout the state. In 2003, Lee returned to New York City to begin working on PAUL GOODMAN CHANGED MY LIFE.
Associate Producer Robert Hawk has been a longtime advisor to filmmakers and film festivals, has had his own business, ICI (Independent Consultation for Independents) for over 13 years, and been a part of the independent film scene for 23 years. Producer credits include Dan Geller and Dayna Goldfine's acclaimed documentary, BALLETS RUSSES. Starting with his involvement in documentary as a researcher on Rob Epstein's Oscar-winning THE TIMES OF HARVEY MILK, he has been credited with discovering and/or nurturing the talents of such filmmakers as Epstein, Nathaniel Kahn (MY ARCHITECT), Kevin Smith (beginning with CLERKS), Ed Burns (BROTHERS McMULLEN), David Siegel and Scott McGehee (DEEP END; BEE SEASON), and Geller & Goldfine. He has also consulted on hundreds of documentaries, including Oscar winners/nominees such as COMMON THREADS: TALES FROM THE QUILT, COMPLAINTS OF A DUTIFUL DAUGHTER, and REGRET TO INFORM.
Editor Kimberly Reed is a filmmaker living in New York City. She was named one of Filmmaker Magazine's "25 New Faces of Independent Film,†and has been awarded a Yaddo Artists' Community Fellowship, a Squaw Valley Community of Writers Workshop Fellowship, and a spot in Al Gore's Current TV Symposium on the Future of Non-Fiction Film. Her work has been featured four consecutive years at IFP's Independent Film Week. Her film PRODIGAL SONS — a co-production with BBC Storyville, Sundance Channel, and CBC/Canada — has been shown around the world in festivals and on television. It was also screened in rough cut at DocuClub in April 2008.
Our moderator will be Basil Tsiokos, who has been a Programming Associate (Documentary Features) for the Sundance Film Festival since 2005. He also serves as a consultant for filmmakers and festivals, offering project feedback and advice on festival and promotional strategy.

Documentary Director Looking for Cameraperson in Nairobi.
A friend asked for help in finding a cameraperson to hire based in Nairobi. Shooting in HD for one week beginning 2.31.10. Filming at a school outside of Nairobi. Interview set up and additional filming in the regional area. If anyone has suggestions, please let me know or contact:
Adam Del Deo

2.31.10 ??
Sat 20 Feb 2010
Perhaps Christopher means Sunday, February 28th? Or Monday, March 1st? Or perhaps the numbers have been switched around such that the actual date is Sunday, March 21st – or 03.21.10? Only one way to find out, I guess.
Sat 20 Feb 2010
In reply to Christopher Quinn's post on Fri 19 Feb 2010 :
Hey Koen and James, Good catch. I hotfooted the details to post. The producer and director are traveling now but I am certain she intended to mean Sunday, 2.28.10.
Someone in the member classifieds has already connected them with a potential cameraperson in Nairobi but let me know if you have other recommendations.
James, thanks for the tip on d-word, it has already brought grist to the mill.
Sat 20 Feb 2010
Great to see you here, Christopher – looking forward to seeing you in person next time we're in the same town.
Sat 20 Feb 2010
It'll put meat on your bones, too, Christopher. Just give it time.

DocuMentors DOC TIP #7: Writing a Strong Treatment
Treatments are an invaluable tool at any step of the way in the filmmaking process. They are a succinct and descriptive way to get across the elements of your film to others. They are usually 1-2 pages and contain only the essential information about your project. (Sometimes a treatment can go up to 4 pages, and then would include a longer narrative story summary, and more character information). The writing should be well-organized, grammatically correct and exciting and tantalizing to read. You want to hook your reader and get them interested in your project so that they want to know more and so that they become a supporter of the project.
It's essentially a marketing tool that is helpful in fundraising, distribution, and many other steps of the filmmaking process. Writing a treatment can also really help you sharpen your own ideas and concept of your film.
Your treatment should contain the following elements:

Dubai Weight Loss Show
Discover new ways to trim fat in Dubai International Marine Club Discuss this article
- Picture 1 of 2
Big weekend events in Dubai often fall into one of two categories: music or food. Yet when you're still trying to take it easy on the junk food and drinking, both are likely to sabotage your resolutions. So it's good news that next weekend's biggest event is the two-day Dubai Weight Loss Show, kicking off on Friday February 1 at Dubai International Marine Club.
Last year's event enticed 6,000 attendees to try classes, watch demonstrations and listen to talks on a variety of health and weight-related topics. Even better news for your post-festive funds is that the weekend is free to attend, and every exhibitor will offer discounts and special deals on their services to attendees who sign up there and then. Here, we take a look at exactly what's on offer to help you slim down and tone up.
The classes
Several of Dubai's fitness big guns will be hosting free demonstrations and classes over the weekend. Friday features TRX classes from the MeFitPro team, a yoga demonstration and Zumba demonstration from Fitness First, combat from new kid on the block TribeFit, a 'kongo fitness' session from DanceFit, a dance class from MoveYa, and a 10-minute abs and core-burner class from Bernacise Me. Saturday will host another full day of activities, featuring tribal bootcamp from TribeFit, the Les Mills Grit Series from MeFit Pro and Zumba cardio from DanceFit. There will also be a Sh'bam class from MeFitPro: the dancercise class arrived in Dubai last year, and its popularity is currently soaring in the UK.
The seminars
A series of informative, useful and, most importantly, accessible talks will be held at the show. Among the many and varied topics will be talks on the importance of a low-sodium diet, how to become a food label detective, the consequences of obesity on health and alternative weight-loss therapies. Bernacise Me's Bernadette Abraham will also be addressing whether organic food is a waste of money, while Atlas Spinal Centre's Dr Tod Cahill will speak on overcoming chronic back pain, which is often associated with excess weight-bearing. Many attendees may also find Dr Sasa Janjanin of Dubai London Clinic's talk interesting, discussing thyroid gland disorders and how they affect weight loss. For the uninitiated, there will also be introductory talks covering the very basics of weight loss and getting healthy.
The highlights
This year's event will have two major highlights. The first is the Lenovo Yogathon, a two hour session by Bharat Artistic Yoga. This particular discipline of yoga has been described by the event's organisers as 'innovative, dynamic and powerful', and apparently affects the body 'like no other form of exercise'. It combines ancient yoga techniques with cardio training and passive stretching, and is designed to work the body at every level. Second on the agenda is the Zumba Party, for which the exact details are being kept under wraps. What we do know is that organisers are inviting attendees to 'ditch the workout and join the party' during the free session, which takes place on Saturday from 3pm until 5pm.
The extras
Within both the exhibition and 'good eats' zones, visitors will be able to peruse everything from supplements to new fitness equipment. Exhibitors will be able to offer advice on different weight-loss solutions and packages and provide information on medical concerns, while many will also be selling fitness and health accessories and services. There will be discounts offered across many of the stands, so even if you're already educated and know what you're looking for, the event will be a good place to seek out a better offer than those currently available day-to-day. For those in need of some 'thinspiration' on the culinary front, the 'good eats' area will host stands offering recipe and meal suggestions, diet products and nutrition advice. Meanwhile, Dubai's fitness instructors, trainers and athletes will be able to put themselves to the test with the event's fun fitness challenge, with prizes awarded to the winners. Finally, if your concerns are as much for your youngsters as yourself, the kids' zone will be filled with educational games and activities, as well as healthy cooking stations and cooking competitions in which kids can take part.
Free. Friday February 1-Saturday 2, 10am-7pm. Dubai International Marine Club, www.weightlossshow.ae (04 367 8192).

Focus on New York Cutting
Traditionally found on ranches, cutting horses are bred and trained to predict what the cow will do next and then move to prevent it--a skill particularly useful for sorting cattle. The cutting horse and rider are judged on their ability to separate a single cow from a herd of cattle and keep it away for a short period of time.

Dairy in Africa: Keeping Cultures Alive
21 Sep 13
Pascale Brevet
Africa might not be the first continent that comes to mind when we talk about cheese, and it is true that it is not such a common food in most African countries. But there are a number of rich dairy traditions around the continent, some a legacy from the colonialist history, others, more deeply rooted, from the nomadic pastoral cultures that still exist in many countries.
A selection of these dairy products from Kenya, Ethiopia, Burkina Faso, Morocco and Cape Verde were presented at Cheese 2013, on Friday September 20 at the Biodiversity House. Though importation issues meant only a few were available for tasting, the public was lucky to have the opportunity to hear from members of the food communities who make these dairy products: Priscilla Chemtay from the Pokot Ash Yogurt Presidium in Kenya and Roba Bulga Jilo from the Karrayyu Herders' Camel Milk Presidium in Ethiopia as well as Boubacar Diallo, who described how Wagashi and a Tuareg tomme cheese are made by the Peul ethnic group in Burkina Faso.
A highlight was the contribution of Roba Bulga from the Karrayyu ethnic group in Ethiopia and a graduate of the University of Gastronomic Sciences. The Karrayyu are famous for their camels, the type of clothes they wear as well and a specific hairstyle. They have a strong connection with their herds, and guide them along a journey of several hundred kilometers during the dry season to find food for them, while also surviving themselves. Unfortunately, they are having to travel further and further due to external causes such as global warming and land rights issues.
The Karrayyu are also known for being proud to be herders, for being proud of their traditions. "We want to keep our way of life," said Bulga at the end. "The Presidium has allowed us to promote camel milk at a country level." Before it was mostly consumed by herders and was unfamiliar to the rest of the population. "We've been able to invest in a vehicle that allows us to transport the milk faster to Addis Ababa," he said. By raising awareness about the problems they are facing, as well as their camels' milk, the Karrayyu hope to keep their culture alive.

TripAdvisor Reviews Wien Hotel Lviv
Travel Blogs from Lviv
Glad I came here in the end
... tickets left in 1st and 2nd class. I don't understand how I couldn't get a ticket. My only option was then to go to the train station early to purchase ticket. The rest of my time in Lviv I spent it in the famous coffee shop and chocolate shop. I got talking to a Polish girl from tinder. She goes to university there so she knows all about the city. She told me that I should definitely go to the coffee and chocolate factory/shop. She said Lviv is famous for it. I didn't ...
... about the situation that had stuck in my mind - she questioned what mothers would make of the situation. For Russian mothers their sons might die for Putin's ideology; for Ukrainian mothers their son might die to defend their country. We saw a group of police in blue camouflage uniforms getting into buses, young men in green camouflage uniforms were kissing each other goodbye at the train station. Street musicians were playing violins ...

Binder reiterated that a nine-member panel of national hospital safety experts decided on the 26 measure sets based on "strength of evidence and impact to the patient." They didn't even pick all Leapfrog measures, just those that "met their standards," she says. "I will be interested to see AHA release a new statement and give us a new round of publicity for the score!"
Binder forwarded Leapfrog's licensing fee materials, which say the cost is $5,000 for hospitals with 300 or fewer beds and $12,500 for hospitals with 301 or more beds through November, 2012, when a new annual fee will apply.
A hospital doesn't need a license to announce its grade to staff, the board, and others and grades may be used in press releases and on web sites. But if hospitals want to use their scores in a paid media ad, marketing materials or signs, they have to pay.
The license does not entitle hospitals to publish other hospitals' scores, and may only be used for the hospital that received the grade. They "must not state or imply that the Hospital Safety Score measures or describes any other quality, e.g., patient satisfaction, quality of care provided, overall performance, etc."
I'm not a statistician, so I guess I'll have to wait for the AHA or another hospital group to explain why Leapfrog's methodology favors Leapfrog participating hospitals or why Leapfrog is wrong to sell hospitals the rights to use this particular score for promotion. It occurs to me that maybe the hospitals' protests are just part of the normal five-stage grieving process, starting with denial.
When HealthGrades launched hospital scores a decade or so ago, "Initially there was—let's call it angst—around information that's being made publicly available," says Pete Sheehan, HealthGrades' director of hospital products and internal advocacy.
However, he says, "I think we've also seen there is a lot of power in making this information public and in moving quality in a path that benefits patients... It actually brings down the cost of care if you do quality correctly."
U.S. News & World Report could not be reached for comment.
While I wait for some resolution to the Leapfrog dustup, I'll be busy here with my e-mail, cleaning out the many dozens of press releases from hospitals across the country that want to boast to the world that they got a Leapfrog A because they're safer.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

Turned on the radio today to confirm that I am:
1. Not the target demographic. Gawd I felt old!!
2. Do not find radio dj's entertaining.
3. Dont have patience to sit through a hip-hop song. And no I am not going to Google who Drake is and do not want to know why I should care.
Thankfully I can turn to on-demand streaming.
Popular music is popular for a reason. It follows a trend and people like to hear what everyone else is listening to. But videos are now are all about memes and virality. Lyrics have no depth- unless you try really hard to invent one. This is how a generation is destroyed. Sound harsh? Hey, I was that guy! I listened to cheesy pop songs in the 90's and I would not admit it today at gunpoint. Except of-course to make this point. Youngsters who are addicted to this stuff… will get over it. Someday they will discover melodies and truly great audio production. They will find a sound that appeals to them… and hasn't been engineered for the masses. That hasn't been tuned to the least common denominator.
When it happens, the music they are missing will still be here. This is the good news. This is what I tell myself everytime I see the billboard top 200 or glance at the top charts section on Google Play Music.
70% of the music revenues and streams are from the top 2% of artists – or some such statistic. I didn't bother to check that and neither should you because reading about Spotify vs. Taylor Swift is even more boring that doing my 11th grade calculus assignment. (hehe glad that is over) My point is- there is this 98% other artists that aren't getting enough airplay. Dude- the long tail is where it's at!
It will get better.
When I am not whining about the awful music filling the airwaves, I am listening to:

Slideshow: Happy Tartan Day! 12 Shortbread Recipes We Love
Chocolate Dipped Shortbread
Made with just a few basic ingredients, shortbread proves that you don't need a bunch of gadgets to make great desserts. These cookies are firm but easy to bite through, with a slightly sandy texture and a strong buttery flavor. Dipping the ends in melted dark chocolate takes them to the next level.
Honey-Lavender Shortbread Cookies
This recipe from Tina Casaceli of Milk & Cookies is surprisingly simple but yields unexpectedly spectacular results. Perfectly buttery, crumbly, and a little bit salty, these cookies are studded with dried lavender and sweetened with fragrant honey.
Peanut Butter and Chocolate Shortbread Bars
Imagine if your favorite peanut butter cups had an added layer of peanutty shortbread on the bottom. Well, that's exactly what these Peanut Butter and Chocolate Shortbread Bars are all about. These bars are part candy, part cookie—when cut into tiny squares, they bring to mind fun-size candy bars.
Tweed Cakes
The base of these cookies is a buttery, vanilla-scented shortbread that tastes, as the name would imply, akin to vanilla birthday cake. The toffee adds the buttery flavor of caramel, and they both meld well with the smooth milk chocolate. A final hint of salt makes the flavors really stand out.
Gluten-Free Shortbread Cookies
Made with four simple ingredients—flour, sugar, salt, and butter— shortbread cookies seem like the baguettes of the cookie world. And like a crusty baguette with a warm meal, there's just something comforting about a good shortbread cookie. With this adjusted recipe, gluten-free folks can enjoy them too!
Pistachio Millionaire's Shortbread with Coriander Butterscotch
Millionaire's Shortbread is one of those "I can't believe we ate the whole thing" desserts that's not to be taken lightly. This version incorporates ground pistachios and lemon zest into the cookie dough for a rich and nutty shortbread base. Not only does it make for a gorgeous dish, but it's nearly impossible to resist inhaling a batch of these warm, gooey, caramel and chocolate-slathered butter cookies.
Salted Caramel Shortbread Cups
These tender, buttery shortbread cups are filled with homemade caramel sauce and sprinkled with coarse sea salt. When you take a bite, the soft shortbread shell easily gives way to a flood of caramel. The salty-sweet combination is addictive.
White Chocolate Ginger Shortbread Crumble Ice Cream
Simply put, shortbread and white chocolate belong together. They play up the flavors of butter better than either could alone. The heat from the ginger builds slowly, cutting the sweetness of the white chocolate, then lingers for a few seconds before slipping quietly away. If you love white chocolate, this is the ice cream for you. And if you don't, it's the ice cream that'll change your mind.
Shortbread Cookies from Sarabeth's Bakery
This recipe from Sarabeth's Bakery yields super light and flaky shortbread with just the slightest hint of lemon zest. Unlike other recipes that can get overly cakey and crumbly to the point of falling apart, these roll out thin and bake up tender. The cookies are finished with a sprinkling of sugar immediately after they come out of the oven. The heat from the cookies adheres the sugar to the tops, giving them a tiny sugar crust.

User Tip: If you're unsure of your vehicle type, you may skip the machine type selection box.
Please select make, model and yearSeats and Covers
Keeping your dirt bike as comfortable as possible ensures that your stamina remains high and you don't succumb to rider fatigue. Your seat is one of the most important elements of rider comfort. With the right seat, your dirt bike will feel great – you won't even think about it at all. But if your seat is uncomfortable, you may find yourself thinking about it more than anything else while you ride.
When it's time for a new dirt bike seat, you can count on Rocky Mountain ATV/MC to provide an excellent selection of choices. Consider some of the benefits you might get by installing an aftermarket solution like Enduro Engineering or SDG seats:
If you're finding yourself sliding too much during riding and you just want to improve the quality of grip that you get from your seat, you can simply replace the cover. In fact, a pleated seat cover will give you more grip than you ever felt with your stock cover. A new seat cover can also add an extra level of bling to your bike. We carry major names like One Industries, Factory Effex, Attack Graphics and Cycle Works. Take a moment to browse our selection.

FWD: UC Davis Environment News Tips
Expand Messages
- University of California, Davis
July 21, 2003
A large, 40-year-old tree can pay back as much as $160 per year to
homeowners and taxpayers in the American West, say researchers at the
USDA Center for Urban Forest Research at UC Davis.
For example, said center director Greg McPherson, a 40-year-old ash
tree in Claremont, Calif., would intercept over 4,800 gallons of
stormwater, remove 6 pounds of air pollutants, reduce energy costs of
cooling by up to 30 percent, and add 1 percent to resale value of a
home. In contrast, the costs of that tree are considerably less,
ranging from $28 for a yard tree to $36 for a street or park tree.
The benefits are detailed in a series of tree guides for the Western
United States from the Center for Urban Forest Research. The guides
are intended to describe the benefits and costs of planting trees for
community officials and tree managers, and to increase public
awareness and support for tree programs.
The fifth guide in the series has just been released: "Northern
Mountain and Prairie Tree Guide: Benefits, Costs and Strategic
Planting." The new guide was written for the "cold and snowy" climate
region, which includes Northern California, Western Washington and
Oregon, Alaska, Idaho, Montana, the Dakotas; Nebraska, Wyoming,
Nevada, Utah, Colorado and the mountainous areas of New Mexico,
Arizona and Southern California.
Future guides are planned for the San Francisco Bay Area and the
desert Southwest climate regions. Already published are guides for
the Inland Empire (which includes the Claremont example), South Coast
