|Clinical Outcomes After Tricuspid Valve Annuloplasty in Addition to Mitral Valve Surgery.

|PMID: 23020287 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|©2012 Wiley Periodicals, inc. Current guidelines recommend tricuspid valve annuloplasty (TVP) together with mitral valve surgery in cases of tricuspid annulus dilation (≥40 mm) or functional tricuspid valve regurgitation >2/4. Baseline clinical and echocardiographic data of patients undergoing mitral valve surgery in a single tertiary care hospital between 2007 and 2010 were analyzed. Mortality and heart failure hospitalization data were collected and groups with or without TVP were compared. Patients with TVP (n=89) had similar baseline characteristics compared with patients without (n=86), except for lower right ventricular fractional area change and more concomitant aortic valve surgery. Mortality was higher in the TVP group at 30 days (14% vs 5%; P=.04), but the difference was no longer significant at the end of follow-up. More patients were hospitalized for heart failure in the TVP group (31% vs 17%; hazard ratio, 2.1; 95% confidence interval, 1.1-4.0; P=.05). Right ventricular sphericity index was the only preoperative parameter predicting death or heart failure hospitalizations. In conclusion, patients undergoing TVP in addition to mitral valve surgery are at high risk for early death or subsequent heart failure hospitalizations, which might be partly explained by more complex heart disease. The extent of preoperative right ventricular remodeling may be predictive of adverse outcomes.

State regulators have proposed new regulations for outdoor smoking at bars and restaurants.
The regulations stemmed from hearings held more than two years ago debating how the ban on indoor smoking would play into outdoor areas attached to pubs and beer gardens.
The proposed changes will allow patrons to smoke in outdoor areas as long as they are at least 15 feet away from entryways, windows or vents. Patrons who choose to smoke will also have to walk to the bar if they want a drink, as the spaces where smoking would be allowed would be an area that employees would not have to walk through.
Lawmakers are hitting a wall of opposition already, as business owners complain they spent money to build outdoor smoking areas already and do not wish to make more changes so soon.
Some bar managers are fine with the rules, mostly those with large enough beer gardens that the rules would not affect them.
The proposed rules will be reviewed in the state's General Assembly sometime in the next two months.

I think the music was Pachelbel's Canon.
In the film Defence of the Realm, Gabriel Byrne, is sitting in his flat and some music is playing on his stereo, it is a string piece and I wonder if anyone can tell me what the piece is called please?
I think the music was Pachelbel's Canon.
Hello Folks
This is my first posting and I wanted to ask a question about The Defence of the Realm - What is the the classical music used in the film?
Greetings Hansander!
Richard Harvey is the credited composer (the more elderly among us might remember having seen him playing with "medieval prog" outfit Gryphon in an earlier life....) - can't remember whether there was some more "legit" classical stuff being used as well. I do remember seeing it at the cinema on release, tho' - despite some formulaic 80s BritThriller devices, it stuck me as speaking very pertinently to the sense of paranoia that a lot of us on the Left (remember the Left?) felt in post-Falklands Thatcherite Britain. And it had the great Denholm Elliott in it....
I seem to recall it was that old chestnut, Pachelbel's Canon. The movie was pitched as a British Parallax View and has one unforgettable line - "Vodka and Coke. Detente in a glass."

Amazon to buy live-streaming gaming siteComment on this story
San Francisco - It's official. Amazon has acquired Twitch for $970-million, the two companies announced on Monday.
Amazon.com is in discussions to acquire Twitch, the live-streaming gaming network that Google had reportedly expressed an interest in buying, tech blog The Information reported on Monday, citing two people familiar with the matter.
Amazon is in "late-stage talks" with Twitch, but it was unclear whether the two parties had signed an agreement, The Information reported. Twitch and Amazon were not immediately available for comment.
Various media first reported in May that Google had sealed an agreement to buy Twitch for $1-billion, but a deal was never confirmed.
San Francisco-based Twitch allows consumers to broadcast live-streams of themselves playing videogames. Its social networking features allow viewers to communicate with one another and the featured gamer during broadcasts. The company says more than 45 million gamers visit its site every month.
Videogames are among the most popular content on YouTube, the world's No. 1 video website owned by Google. In September, Twitch raised $20-million in funding from Thrive Capital, WestSummit Capital, and Take-Two Interactive Software, among other parties. - Reuters

How we are working to achieve this vision
4458 Delridge Way SW, Seattle WA 98106
Thank you Seattle! This project is complete.
Mayor Mike McGinn cut the official ribbon on September 17, 2011 and dedicated the park.
City Council approved construction funding in the amount of $750,000 for the 13,000 square foot skatepark. The project has strong community support from the neighborhood.
A third and final meeting was held on June 22, 2009 presenting the schematic design to the community. Comments were collected from the community and considered for incorporation in the final design.
The plan for this park is to make it an innovative full service skatepark that can accommodate a variety of features and different skill levels.
The skatepark will be located in a complex where existing field sport activities (baseball, soccer, tennis), parking, bathrooms, and basic amenities are currently located. The scale of this project is expected to range from 10,000-15,000 square feet.

Maintaining Your Org Over Summer BreakWednesday, July 3rd, 2013
If you're like me, the thought of summer break around the corner makes you want to don those bright summer shorts and slip into flip flops. We know how hard it is to say goodbye to your friends but it's even harder to stay in contact with your group members over the summer. Here are some tips for being productive with your group:
Pre-Summer Planning: Hold a meeting with your e-Board before the school year ends to discuss how you'd like to kick-off the Fall semester. Again, make sure to record your plans on an online shareable document! If you haven't already set goals and points of improvement for next year, have that conversation as soon as possible.

Just for the record (before any meatheads further muck stuff up), this "conservative" doesn't give two flying damns what anyone - especially anyone here - does with their bodies. That's not my call to make. So there.
Knock yourselves out, people. I don't make the rules.
But you lend your support to people who do. You try to defend Rick Santourum by saying "he didn't equate anything."
I'd love to see some of you just admit when you're wrong.

December 1, 2015
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) -- Nine precincts in Hamilton County saw zero voters on Super Tuesday and another 19 had fewer than 10 ballots cast.
Four of the nine precincts where no one voted were empty for the second straight Presidential primary. But the problem may be more one of bureaucracy than voter enthusiasm. Those four precincts have only 52 registered voters combined.
There are reports that some have zero, but are necessary due to the county's geography and the mismatched political lines of city, county, state and federal districts.
Each precinct requires a worker, who's paid $100, and an officer, who earns another $160.
Hamilton County Elections Administrator Charlotte Mullis-Morgan said the election commission wants to reduce the number of small precincts as it draws new lines based on the 2010 census.

December 1, 2015
ATLANTA (AP) -- Secretary of State Brian Kemp says Georgia will hold its presidential primary on Super Tuesday.
Kemp made the announcement Thursday that Georgians will go to the polls on March 6.
State lawmakers gave Kemp until Dec. 1 to set Georgia's primary day. But the Republican National Party has asked states to submit their primary dates by Saturday.
Republican National Committee rules forbid any state other than Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina from holding a primary before March 6. States that violate RNC rules are subject to losing half their delegates to the Republican Convention in Tampa, Florida, next August.
Already, Missouri has set its date for Feb. 7, and Arizona and Michigan have set presidential primaries for Feb. 28.

A new package of laws and rights have been brought into force in the UK to help parents strike a healthy balance between work and home life – but will they help you? babyworld looks at what the parental leave rights will mean to you if you are expecting a baby now…
Who will gain?
The bad news is that the government's plans, which came in on 15 December 1999, are not being applied retrospectively. So, if your child was born before 15 December, you will not be eligible for any of the new rights.
A strong argument was made for the rights to apply to anyone with a child under five, but the government decided it would take too heavy a toll on industry if this were done.
A last ditch attempt was made by the MSF union to persuade the government to apply the rights to the 3.3 million parents in the UK with children under the age of five.
Parental leave
The new right to unpaid parental leave will apply to people who have completed one year's service with their employer and will allow parents with children born after 15 December 1999 to take parental leave to care for that child.
The right will apply to mums, dads and to any person who has obtained formal parental responsibility for a child under the Children Act or its Scottish equivalent.
Parents will be able to start taking the leave once the child is born, or as soon as they have completed a year's service with their employer, whichever is later.
How will it affect me?
- 13 weeks parental leave for each child.
- The employee remains employed while on parental leave, although some terms, such as contractual notice or redundancy terms, will still apply.
- At the end of any leave taken, the employee is guaranteed to return to the same job. If that is not possible, a similar job with the same or better status. If leave taken is less than four weeks, the employee is entitled to return to the same job.
- Employees will be able to go to an employment tribunal if an employer tries to prevent them taking leave.
- Negotiation as to how much leave is taken at a time is up to the company. A set of fallback rules has been drawn up as a blueprint.
This blueprint suggests leave is taken in blocks or multiples of one week, after giving 21 days notice and up to four weeks leave in a year, although if an employee wants all 13 weeks in one go, and the company is happy, this can be permitted. Leave is subject to postponement by the employer for up to six months if a business cannot cope, but can't be postponed if taken immediately after the child is born.
Employers don't have to keep a record of parental leave, although it is expected many will. New employers will be able to ask previous employers how much leave has been taken or will be able to ask the employee.
Adopted children
The rights will also apply to parents of adopted children born after the qualifying date. In the same way as parents are entitled to take leave as soon as a baby is born, leave can be taken as soon as a child is adopted. In the case of adoption, the five years starts from the child's adoption, not from the date of birth, but must be taken before the child reaches 18 years.
Disabled children
Parents of disabled children born after 15 December will be able to use their entitlement of 13 weeks unpaid leave up to the child's 18th birthday.
The special move was made because, on average, parents with disabled children have to attend more medical appointments a year and it is expected they may choose to take their leave in blocks of one or two days rather than weeks at a time.
A disabled child in this context is a child for whom disability living allowance is awarded.
Time off for dependants
Under the Employee Relations Act, a short amount of time off to deal with family emergencies is also allowed.
Circumstances covered include:
* If a dependant falls ill, is injured or assaulted, or gives birth
* Making arrangements for the provision of care for a dependant who is ill or injured
* To make funeral arrangements for a dependant or attend the funeral
* Coping with unexpected disruption or ending of arrangements for the care of a dependent
* Dealing with an incident involving a child of an employee that happens unexpectedly at school or during school hours.
A dependant could be the partner, child or parent of the employee, or someone who lives with the employee as part of their family. This could be an elderly aunt or grandparent who lives in the household but does not include tenants, boarders or someone who lives in the household as an employee.
It is up to the employer whether any time off is paid.
Maternity leave
Maternity leave has also changed, from April 30, 2000.
Before then, women were entitled to a minimum of 14 weeks maternity leave, or 18 weeks if they had worked for their company for two years. This changed to 18 weeks for everyone.
Before April 30, women could take extended leave of up to 29 weeks from the week of birth if they had worked two years, this changed to one year from April 30.
Procedures for giving notice of taking maternity leave and arrangements for return to work were also simplified, making it clear that contracts of employment continue during additional maternity leave.
Remember that the law applies to those whose expected week of childbirth was the week beginning April 30. If the baby was born early, the woman still qualifies for the new rights, as long as she has proof that her expected week of childbirth was April 30 or after.

Apple's iPad Mini rumoured for late 2012 launch
Smaller tablet still looks like a possibility
Published: 19 December, 2011
READ MORE: US | Apple | Handset | iOS
It looks like anyone anticipating a smaller version of the iPad may have to wait until well into next year according to the latest rumour from Digitimes. Last week it was reported that Apple's iPad 3 would be arriving in March or April next year. Although this was no big shocker it did line-up with other recent reports about the availability of the next version of the best selling tablet. Now the site is saying that the smaller iPad will launch before Q4 2012.
Once again no specs are mentioned, apart from the fact it will have a 7.85" display, but it's said that LG and AU Optronics will be supplying the panels with production expected to start in the second quarter of 2012. It's safe to assume that hardware which is better than the previous iPad won't be the main concern of this tablet, the main point of which is to cope with the increasing competition from large smartphones and reasonably priced tablets such as Amazon's Kindle Fire.
Amazon has yet to reveal the exact sales figures for the Kindle Fire but it did issue a press release last week where it announced it was selling Kindles at a rate of one million a week for the previous three weeks. This figure covered the whole Kindle range and though what portion of it belonged to the Kindle Fire is a mystery the retailer did make sure to mention that the tablet is the best selling and most wished for item on its site.
Next year might see a shift in the tablet world but for now Apple retains the lions share of sales when it comes to slates and out of the 60m tablet devices expected to have shipped globally in 2011 iPads will account for around 70% of them.

The "historic" simulation line represents the long-term climate response a river might have according to the hydrologic model. If the hydrologic forecast is for near-normal conditions, the "conditional" simulation curve will be similar to the historic simulation curve. If the streamflow forecast is for wetter than normal conditions, the conditional simulation curve will be above the historic curve. Likewise, if the streamflow forecast is for drier than normal conditions, the conditional simulation curve will be below the historic curve.
The slope of the simulation curve indicate the amount of uncertainty associated with a forecast. The flatter the line, the more confident the forecast. The steeper the line, the less confident the forecast.
NOAA's National Weather Service produces such plots as part of the Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service.

yea I will be seeing one if this does not get better at all by next week, when my mother has an appt with a doctor for HER rotation cuff inflamation.
That sucks dude!

I believe I have damn never every part to make this in either my bedroom or basement. There really is no point to this besides the cool factor, and it will make noises above my classroom.
Plus I hear that above one of the classrooms there is a shoe that some kid put above the drop ceiling a few years ago that is still there...I guess we will find out
Inflamation of he rotator cuff ( bursitus) is something serious that needs to be followed. A PT will show you how to exercise your shoulder to avoid calcium deposit and avoid the pain this can bring you. It is extremely painful when it flairs up and can handicap you. It is pretty common, someone who plays tennis for x amount of years can get it as easily as someone who simply is a side sleeper..
I was diagnose with it last summer on a weekend where my shoulder simply froze, it was my last race of the season, very important race and I woke up with a frozen shoulder giving me more pain then if i was giving birth.. I was on very strong ain killers for 4 days, could absolulty not move that shoulder one centimeter for a week and had a cortizone shot. I was in PT for 6 monts. I now can manage it but my advice to you is don't wait and follow an exercise plan. Your right this will be with you your whole life so learn how to take care of it now.
Research a while back showed that exercise and surgery had virtually identical success rates for rotator cuff injuries, so I'd recommend the exercise route, which is the way I went. It took many, many weeks of diligent exercise -- multiple reps with very low weights -- but it did get better, and now I have to think hard to work out which shoulder it is that was injured. Get a physio to show you the best exercises and do them religiously. One that helped me was lying on my side with a really light weight in one hand (I used a soup can) and twisting my arm gently from vertical to horizontal and back a few dozen times a couple of times a day. I couldn't move my arm for about a week, couldn't bike for months and couldn't actually sleep on that side for almost a year. But take your time, and it will get better.
Zero gallons to the mile
Been there, done that. Reduced training intesnsity, thorough stretching and warmups, aspirin, ice, tons of water really helped arrest the problem.
I had surgery on the left rotator cuff in '98. It was the most PAINFUL thing I have ever experienced. They had to cut into me FOUR different times in six months. Everything that could go wrong, did. When my right rotator began to give me problems, I went straight to my list of rehab exercises I used after the first cuff surgery, and in four months the pain was gone and no need for surgery. Don't want to do that again.
See a doctor or PT for exercise advise.
Try a physio who is familiar with swimming injuries. This is a common swimmer's injury. The rotator cuff's job is to keep the shoulder "together", not to do hard work - ie. it is a positioning job. Swimmers get into trouble when they over-use shoulder muscles in their swim stroke. A good swim stroke should get it's power from trunk muscles - large and powerfull. This is basic core stability stuff. If you train for a stong, stable core then the shoulders will have very little to do.
Hope this helps.

HAZARD, Ky (WYMT) - College could be even more expensive if Congress fails to reach a deal over student loan interest rates before July 1st.
That is the deadline when the interest rate of Subsidized Stafford loans from the federal government is set to double.
The rate will increase from 3.4% to 6.8%.
Republicans and Democrats are working on ways to avoid that increase but as of right now, they have not reached an agreement.
That has area colleges looking for ways to keep higher education reasonably priced for students.
At Hazard Community and Technical College, Director of Financial Aid Chuck Anderson said college is a big financial decision for families and that they should try to pay for as much schooling as possible without loans.
"We encourage people to apply early for any scholarship or grant," said Anderson.
He said that gives you the best opportunity to get the most financial aid available.
"The earlier you apply the financial aid application, the better your chances are for getting eligible for some of those programs that are out there," said Anderson.
Still, Anderson does not deny some students must take out loans.
He advises students remember their ABCs.
"Always borrow conservatively, only borrow what you need," said Anderson.
Doug Fraley is the Vice President for Student Affairs at the college.
He said despite the possible increase in interest rates, there is still no substitution for a college education.
"If you need loans to go to college, it's a great investment," said Fraley.
He added even if you fear you simply cannot afford school, do not give up.
He said the college can help out students if they know about the issue.
"Our whole system stresses keeping tuition at a minimum and so that is the best financial aid program that we can offer students," said Fraley.

Less than 48 hours had passed from the time Ranger Margaret Anderson was killed by a gunman in Mt. Rainier National Park and the moment this photo was taken. It seemed ever so much longer, an eon of friends grieving, trying to get their emotions under control, trying to find some stability in the world. There had been closure, finality, with the discovery of the shooter's body, but for two days, everyone had been going on adrenaline. Now that chapter is closed, and the more difficult one begins: learning to cope with the tragedy.
To that end, an employee debriefing was held at Park Headquarters this morning. I walked up even though I'm still sick, walked because one less car would mean someone else had a place to park, walked because...well, walked because I walk things off, both physical and psychological. I walked as a tribute to Margaret, thinking about her family, thinking about her friends in the greater Park Service community.
And what I found at the end of my walk were people quietly crying, others choked with emotion, some visibly enraged, but all bound by one thing: their dedication to Park Service and particularly to Mt. Rainier National Park. That sense of community extended across thirty years to touch me as well.
There will be a candlelight vigil in Eatonville tonight, but I cannot attend. I will, however, light a candle in my window for a woman whose bravery may well have spared others, a Ranger to the end.

"You could beg for mercy from a violent criminal, hide under the bed, or you can fight back."

Oct 5, 2013; Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Sonny Gray (54). / Kelley L Cox-USA TODAY Sports
Starting for the Tigers: Justin Verlander
The stats: 13-12, 3.36 ERA, 23 of 35 were quality starts (six innings or more, three earned runs or fewer).
The skinny: For the first time since 2008, when he led the American League in losses, Verlander didnt finish at least nine games above .500. For one reason or another, he struggled most of the year to get into a consistent, dominant groove. But he was also a victim of poor support five times, including his last three starts, he hasnt allowed a run, and yet the Tigers lost. (No other pitcher this season was so unfortunate.) But the best news for the Tigers, short term and long term, is that Verlander (signed through 2019) appears to have fixed his mechanical issues and become his vintage self again.
The long ball: He allowed 19 homers in the regular season, the same as in 2012 and five fewer than his MVP season of 2011.
The running game: It is a problem. Runners have been successful on 21 of 25 stolen-base attempts with Verlander pitching.
Key matchups: As leadoff man Coco Crisp is 8-for-24 off Verlander in the regular season, and he led off Game 1 of last years series with a homer against Verlander. Crisp is Oaklands top stolen-base threat, so its the old story: The best way for Verlander to keep him from running is to keep him off base. Verlander retired Crisp all three times he faced him when Verlander blanked the As during his seven innings in Game 2.
Say what? Verlander allowed 43 regular-season runs with two outs, a career-high. Since the outset of his rookie season in 2006, he has thrown almost 29,000 regular-season pitches which is nearly 1,500 more than anyone else in that span. Perhaps all those pitches caught up to Verlander at times this season when he got deep into innings and couldnt make a two-out pitch to get out of trouble.
Starting for the As: Sonny Gray
The stats: 5-3, 2.38 ERA, 7-for-11 in quality starts. He pitched four scoreless innings in two relief appearances.
The skinny: Gray, 23, made his debut in July and has been part of the Oakland rotation since mid-August. He didnt reach the 100-pitch mark in any of his five September starts, then threw 111 pitches in Game 2 as he blanked the Tigers on four hits over eight innings.
The long ball: The rookie allowed four homers in 64 innings in the regular season. Two came in the first inning.
The running game: Baserunners were 1-for-2 in steal attempts against Gray in the regular season. The Tigers best opportunity against Gray in Game 2 first and third, one out ended abruptly when Jose Iglesias was thrown out stealing on the pitch on which Austin Jackson struck out.
Key matchups
: Anyone who falls behind in the count. They are then vulnerable to Grays tremendous 12 to 6 curve the one that drops straight down, as if going from 12 to 6 on a clock.
Say what? When Verlander beat the As in the decisive Game 5 of the division series last year, Gray was in the instructional league in Arizona. Grays ERA at home in the regular season was about half what it was on the road (1.99 to 3.86), so he got the call for Game 2 in Oakland before the series moved to Detroit for Games 3 and 4. Now hes back in his comfortable home for Game 5.

IOWA CITY, Iowa >> Registration is now open for the Oct. 26, 2013 administration of the ACT college readiness assessment. The registration deadline for students who intend to take the ACT on this date is Sept. 27, 2013.
Students may register for the ACT online at actstudent.org or by mail. Paper registration forms can be obtained from school counselor offices or by requesting a registration packet from ACT.
Students must submit a photo of themselves to register for the ACT. The deadline for submitting a photo for the October test date is Oct. 18, 2013.
The ACT is a curriculum-based achievement exam. It measures the academic skills and knowledge that students have learned in school and need to know to be ready for first-year college courses.
The ACT comprises four multiple-choice subject exams--English, mathematics, reading and science--and takes about three hours, plus breaks, to complete. An optional writing test, which takes an additional 30 minutes, is also available. Students who intend to take the writing portion should register for the ACT Plus Writing.
The cost to take the ACT (with no writing test) is $36.50. The cost to take the ACT Plus Writing is $52.50. Fee waivers are available to qualified students who can't afford the registration fee. Students should apply for a fee waiver through their school counselor's office.
All four-year colleges and universities across the nation accept ACT scores for admission purposes. ACT sends score reports only when authorized to do so by the student. Students may authorize ACT to send score reports to up to four institutions at no additional charge when registering for the exam.
Each test taker receives an ACT score report that includes a wide variety of information to assist with course planning, college readiness, career planning and college admissions.
The ACT student website actstudent.org offers helpful information and tips, free sample questions, complete practice tests and inexpensive materials to help students prepare for the exam. Because the ACT is a curriculum-based exam, the best preparation is to take challenging courses in school, study hard and learn the material.

Silicon Alley Insider is reporting that recently published data from NPD showing a 7% increase in Mac sales year-over-year for July and August, ahead of expectations. In contrast, the same data originally published by Gene Munster of Piper Jaffray, shows a 16% drop in iPod sales year-over-year, this is below expectations.
Munster says NPD data from July and August show Mac sales up 7% year-over-year through August, while the Street is expecting 5% year-over-year growth for the quarter.
Back-to-school sales in the first few months of the quarter probably helped, but at least Apple could handle some deceleration this month and still meet expectations. (And Apple's international growth, not represented in NPD's figures, should help, too.)
This should come as no shock, as even the execs at Apple expect iPod sales to decline as more and more customers migrate to the iPhone and iPod Touch platforms. That said, the new camera equipped iPod nano's introduced last week may have a positive impacted on Apple's "traditional MP3 player" market.

THHSC, TMHP Move Forward with Medicaid Changes
by Jennifer Banda, J.D., Elizabeth Sjoberg, RN, J.D., Michelle Apodaca, J.D., and John Berta
Aug. 18, 2011 – The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Texas Medicaid & Healthcare Partnership continue their efforts to redesign Texas Medicaid's hospital payment structure. New information has been released regarding the development of Medicaid hospital inpatient rates, Medicaid obstetrical services, and the elimination of payment of outpatient deductibles and coinsurance for Medicare and Medicaid dual-eligible patients.
As detailed in the notice, the modifiers must be included for the following obstetric delivery procedure codes:
THHSC provided a document outlining criteria that should be considered in determining which modifier to use. THHSC indicates that its Office of the Medical Director will develop final guidelines using the criteria outlined in its development process.
THHSC is implementing the new requirement in response to House Bill 1983 passed by the Texas Legislature earlier this year. The legislation was developed to reduce the number of elective or non-medically indicated induced deliveries and cesarean sections.
Elimination of Medicaid Outpatient Deductible and Coinsurance Payments
Within the next 10 days, THHSC is expected to publish an agenda for the Sept. 8 Medical Care Advisory Committee meeting. The agenda will include a rule eliminating payment by the Texas Medicaid program for Medicare and Medicaid dual-eligible patients. The rule still is under review by the agency and is not yet available to the public. It should be posted with the agenda at least one week prior to the MCAC meeting.

From the architect. The mixed-use complex for Shop and Trade, a company for clothing imports and distribution, is located on Pireos Street, the historic road that connects the City of Athens with the port of Piraeus. Since the end of the 19th century, the surrounding areas have been dominated by industrial uses and warehouses. In the last ten years, brown field redevelopment, the construction of museums and the reuse of the old gas factory as a cultural center have revitalized the area, reasserting the historic significance of the Street. The site of Shop and Trade is surrounded by distinct urban morphologies and scales: subsidized modernist housing estates, industrial areas and traditional urban blocks. The complex was designed to mediate and redefine their relationship.
The property is surrounded by streets on three sides. The L-shaped four-storey office volume is placed along the back street and the boundary with the adjacent property, thus providing the backdrop for a roof garden over the single storey retail podium. By opening up towards Pireos Street at the intersection with Kydonion Street the garden contributes to the quality of public space while at the same time providing a visual focus and an environmental buffer for the offices. The set-back also endows the interior with panoramic views.
The garden slopes towards Smyrnis Street at the back, under the main office volume, suggesting perceptual continuity of public and private open space while at the same time demarcating a boundary between the retail podium and the entrance floor of the main offices and showrooms. The distinct treatment of front and back elevations expresses the relationship between the industrial character of Smyrnis Street and the emerging identity of Pireos Street.
The structure and all external wall surfaces are of exposed concrete. The choice of material is aimed at providing a sense of timelessness. More important, the treatment of raw building materials as final finishes projects a discipline of design and construction. Detailing expresses the logical hierarchy of design decisions and the articulation of the distinct layers of the building envelop. The front facades are visually continuous woven surfaces which also serve as screens. The vertically curved elevation of the main building is rendered as a curtain that expresses the flow of energy and breezes across the site. Thus, it becomes the memorable image of transverse spatial openness. The garden is planted with trees, indigenous grasses and herbs that require minimum maintenance and irrigation and mark the seasons through their scents and changing colors.
Internal partitions along the length of the main block are glazed; thus, the perceptual boundaries and the character of interiors are defined by the external envelop. Transverse partitions, aligned to building structure, are opaque in order to assist the definition of organizational and departmental units. The proportions of the secondary wing allow the interior to function well as an open plan oriented towards the garden.
The complex is approximately 10,000 square meters with an additional 9,000 square meters of underground parking to serve office employees and retail clients. Environmental performance is enhanced by the combination of geothermal systems, an atrium at the center of the main office wing, and automatic B.M.S. coordination of the openings. Main office entrances are situated on Pireos Street (for the narrow wing) and Kydonion Street (for the main block). Service entrances are provided along the side and back streets. Construction was completed in June 2010.

In 1903 eighty-one pupils attended the one-teacher Nebo Elementary School. In the 1920s a small one-story white frame structure served as Nebo School. In 1933 the community had one business. The school had sixty-two students and employed three teachers in 1936, when maps showed a church, a cemetery, a school, and a collection of farms at the site, accessed by bladed and graded dirt roads. By 1952 the school had been consolidated into the Lindale Independent School District. Nebo had a population of twenty-five from 1933 to 1989. In 1960 and 1981 maps showed the Damascus Church and Cemetery in the area.

Not allowed to stop sucking Seb's throbbing dick, listen as Kirk tries to keep giving great head as he moans with pleasure and pain from the boiling wax. Kirk's final humiliation is to have cum shot over his cute, boyish face then left to think about what he's done!

Getting around Hakuba?
Hey, i cant seem to find a topic on this on the forum so was just hoping to get some knowledge from some people who have boarded Hakuba before.
Im going to be staying right at the bottom of Happo One at the Gondola and was wondering whats involved in getting to the other resorts (Hakuba 47, Iwatake etc). Is there a free shuttle bus or do you have to pay. Or are we better off cabbing it?
Any information would be awesome.
Went to Happo 1 a few seasons ago, there was a shuttle that picked up from the hotels in the area, I don't remember if it was a couple bucks or not, but that should be your best bet. Some buddies and i went around Christmas weekend and had the whole place to ourselves with awesome snow, enjoy!
there are free shuttle busses. Your accom will have all the details. At least you're sorted for happo though
There are shuttles, here's some links: http://www.happo-one.jp/english/plan...shuttle_en.pdf
I go to Hakuba every month during the season, awesome place. There are also plenty of cabs (with ski racks on top) to get you around should you need one. I also found a lot of the folks out there at the resort speak some English as well. Have fun!

Photo by Jeanne RiceLeo and Verla Lambert own one of about 300 two-bedroom houses wedged between Garden Grove Boulevard and the 22 freeway. Like the rest of the houses on their street, their home was built during the Big Bang homebuilding boom of the mid-1950s. It's simple, modest and—notwithstanding a well-manicured, flower-lined lawn—not much to look at from the outside.
Hidden behind an exhaust-stained concrete wall and ignored by the city, the Lamberts' neighborhood may soon be added to Garden Grove's ever-expanding redevelopment project area. City officials, led by Mayor "Bulldozer" Bruce Broadwater, want to pave over the 264-acre area to make room for a major new theme park—carnival rides, roller coasters, hotels and restaurants.
The proposed theme park is perhaps the most grandiose solution to a problem created by the city's effort to lure Disneyland tourists into several hotels subsidized by taxpayers; since Sept. 11, the tourists haven't been coming in numbers sufficient to justify the huge amount of money the city has invested in the project. Hence the theme park—a redevelopment solution to a debt problem created by redevelopment.
On June 6, the Garden Grove Planning Commission approved the city's plan to add the neighborhood to its redevelopment zone. But the commission dropped 50 acres from the project because it wasn't run-down enough to justify being paved over. The Lamberts' home is still slated for possible bulldozing.
Assistant City Manager Matt Fertal insists a theme park is just one of the ideas proposed for the Lamberts' neighborhood. "There probably isn't a lot more demand for additional hotels unless another attraction is built," he said. The city has already built seven hotels, and with two more approved to open along Harbor Boulevard, a "major anchor project" such as a theme park is needed in order to keep them full. Full hotels mean a steady supply of hotel bed taxes flowing into the coffers of the city's cash-strapped redevelopment agency, which is already more than $100 million in debt.
Thanks to tens of millions of dollars in subsidies from the city, six hotels have already opened along Harbor Boulevard near the Lamberts' home in the past four years: the towering Crowne Plaza Resort, the Hampton Inn & Suites, the Hilton Garden Inn, the Hyatt Regency, the Embassy Suites, and the Homewood Suites.
Another hotel built on free land and through generous multimillion-dollar annual payments from the city's Agency for Community Development is the Marriott Hotel, which has yet to open its doors roughly six months behind schedule. The owners of all these hotels have simultaneously funelled tens of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions to Broadwater, as well as councilmen Mark Rosen and Mark Leyes, the mayor's two strongest pro-development allies.
Critics say Garden Grove's redevelopment plan was badly conceived. The new hotels will always have to compete with Anaheim, which has numerous hotels much closer to Disneyland, the county's top tourist destination. If Garden Grove is such a great place to open new hotels, they ask, why must the city lavish such generous financial assistance on the developers seeking to do business there?
"This is classic corporate welfare," said Chris Norby, a Fullerton City Council member who in January will become the county's Fourth District Supervisor. "It is resulting in some tremendous debt and the loss of some very affordable housing. Hotels should be built by private developers using their own private money, buying private land from private people—not doing it through some public subsidy."
Either way, the Lamberts have no intention of moving. "I can't see why the city can come in and put all my hard work in a landfill," Leo Lambert said. "I've lived here for 46 years. I'm retired; I have what I want in life. I am not going to move."
Between 1952 and 1954, Leo Lambert served as a parachute rigger with the U.S. Army Airborne in Korea and Japan and returned to Hutchinson, Kansas, to find that the only jobs were at the Carey Salt Mines near Wichita. His brother had recently moved to California and bought a home in an unincorporated area of Orange County near Harbor Boulevard and Chapman Avenue.
So, a generation after the fictional Joads of The Grapes of Wrath fame, Leo Lambert put his wife and two young children in the family car and headed west.
"If you're going to make money, you come to where the people are at," Leo said.
The couple moved to their home in 1956. Back then, Leo Lambert recalls, a belt of orange groves stretched along what is now the 22 freeway.
"To the south of us were orange groves, and we had a Little League field," he said. "My kids played ball out there. They'd run through the groves. But then the land was bought for the freeway . . . and this area just boomed. I mean, they started building 2,000 houses at a time. It was unbelievable."
Lambert says he wasn't bothered by the freeway or the new houses that quickly surrounded his neighborhood. For 35 years, he worked 14 to 16 hours per day as a truck driver and drywall hanger to feed his family. He'd start each day with a stomach-stretching meal at Belisles Restaurant, a neighborhood landmark that attracted such celebrities as Ronald Reagan, whose photograph decorated the restaurant's wall.

Late August is usually the time that most gardeners are done with major efforts in the yard and can sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labors, so to speak. I like to resume knitting, perhaps finally finish reading that novel I started several months ago, or even get back into an exercise regime at the long-neglected gym.
That won't be the case this year as the entire front garden bed is in need of major renovation. This bed is rather large and is a combination of trees, shrubs and perennials. It is shaped something like a boomerang that has 50-foot-long wings that parallel the roads (I am on a corner lot) and is about 25 feet deep.
Earlier this year I had eight 25-foot-tall Leyland cypresses taken down. They had been planted in 1994 on 8-foot centers to create a privacy screen. Twenty years later, after having them cut back several times, they were just too big and getting bigger every year. If left alone, a Leyland cypress has the potential to reach 120 feet in height! And it wasn't just that they had become too tall; they also were now about 25 feet wide and were causing some severe shading issues for other woody ornamental plants that were once planted far enough away but now had branches of the Leylands pushing through their canopies. Once the Leylands were down, there was a large open area that once again received full sun. The entire front yard looked totally different and the perennial and small shrub portion of the border needed to be reworked and extended back out to the newly cleared area.
I tend to garden in a "cottage" style, which really means that I am not a designer and just plant to my heart's content. This has worked for me in the past because there were really no hard structures in the garden that would require some design to look good.
That has now changed because I just had a white picket fence put up around the front yard, with a lovely arbor and gate leading out to the side yard. Plants that were once in the right place now need to be moved, especially the smaller shrubs that need to go more to the back of the garden nearer the fence.
I walk around now with a small notebook and put my thoughts down on what I would like to see in different spots and where there is more sun or more shade so I can place things appropriately.
While spring is often thought of as the best time to rework an older garden, late August through mid September is actually a great time to do this. The gardener can see exactly what is in need of dividing or moving and the weather is cooler and a bit less humid, although that can be said for almost the whole summer this year. Our garden soils are warm and rain is becoming a more regular feature. At this time of year, most plants have finished developing new top growth but soil conditions do tend to promote new root growth. This allows plants to quickly become established after being divided or moved, and they will enter winter in good condition.
If your garden beds are large and in need of renovation, it is easier to divide them up into sections and renovate a section at a time. The first step is to dig up all the plants in a given section, with the exception of those plants that do not like to be disturbed (Baptisia, butterfly weed, gas plant, lupines, etc.) or peonies that do not need dividing. Place the uprooted perennials in a shaded area and keep the roots moist by covering them with damp burlap or a mulching material.
I like to treat the section that is to be renovated as if it were a new bed. A soil test will let you know if you need to change the pH, depending on what you are growing, and you can have a pH test done at the Cape Cod Cooperative Extension Service for a modest fee. A complete soil test isn't necessary at this time because you won't be fertilizing now. If the bed hasn't had any organic material added in recent years, work in at least a 2- to 3-inch layer of compost, rotted manure, leaf mold, or other organic material, and let it sit for several days to settle.
In the meantime, divide those perennials that are overgrown or appear to be dying in the center. Shasta daisies and Siberian iris will do this when they need to be divided. Older gardening books would always recommend using two garden forks placed in the middle of a clump to pry the clump apart. Forget this – it really doesn't work that well and can be quite difficult. Just cut the clumps apart! I like to dig up entire plants and place them on a tarp. I use a small pruning saw to cut large clumps of hostas and daylilies into sections, but you can also use a sharp spade or gardening knife to do the job. For Shasta daisies and Siberian iris, select vigorous side shoots on the outer edge of the clump and discard the dead center. I like to divide these plants into clumps of three to five shoots each.
When you replant the divisions back into the renovated soil, make sure the crowns are set at the same depth at which they were previously growing. Generally the greatest visual impact will be made if you replant in groups of three, five, or, if you have the room and plants, seven plants of the same kind. Give the new divisions enough room to grow so that you won't need to repeat this process for several years!
I have several small and not-so-small shrubs that will also need to be moved. The process is similar in that I will be adding some organic material to the area to which the woody plant will be moved but I will not be adding any fertilizer. I don't just add organic matter to the planting hole but rather will dig it into a wider area where the roots will be growing over time. The best planting hole is one that is only as deep as the root ball is and is wider than you think you need. Think of the planting hole as a shallow saucer, not a deep bucket. I will give the shrubs as big a root ball as I can physically manage, and I will have the new planting hole already dug before I actually dig up the shrub to be transplanted. This way the roots are out of the ground for the shortest period possible. Be sure when transplanting a woody plant that you plant it at the same depth that it was previously growing.
In all cases, both for perennials and shrubs, I will water immediately and deeply and will try to keep the soil moist until the ground finally begins to freeze later in the year.
I have my work cut out for me but in the end it will look so much better. And if I don't get to the whole front border this fall, well, there is always next spring!

Manser way off with Salisbury smokescreen
Ian Salisbury's exposure to legal costs has nothing to do with any of the matters complained of in the letter from Michael Manser (AJ 11.11.04).
As an elected member of the ARB, I find it perfectly possible to express my views on these matters without feeling inhibited by the board's rules.

On the Road with Ernie: Dubai Desert ClassicSince returning from knee surgery, Ernie has recorded a win and two second place finishes, including one this past weekend at the Dubai Desert Classic. Find out all the details, including what made it a record-breaking weekend for the Big Easy, in this edition of On the Road with Ernie...
I've had a night to reflect on this year's Desert Classic. As you can probably imagine, there are some mixed emotions. You know, I played some good golf this week, shooting four nice rounds and finishing at 19-under par, which was my winning total last year. In fact, it was the exact same numbers – a pair of 68s, a 67 and a 66. Repeating that is obviously a decent effort. And it felt good holing that six-footer on the 72nd green to get into the playoff; I mean, when you've been away from the game for a while that's a big putt to make. But then again there's the disappointment of not converting it into a win. Still, when the dust settles all you can do is take the positives from a week like that. It feels great to be out there battling for championships again. I missed that when I was away through injury. And I know it's early in the season yet, but the way my game feels so soon after making my comeback…well, 2006 looks like being a good year. Already I've had a win and two close seconds; and I'm really excited about the season ahead. I just love the competition; it's what drives me. Sure, you get disappointed when things don't go your way. But you just come back next time and try to do it right. That's what this game is all about.
Off to a Fast Start
Anyway, for the record let me talk you through the tournament. I made a pretty fast start on Thursday, starting on the par-5 10th and reaching the turn in three-under par. Then I birdied the 1st, to get to four-under par. I should have pushed on from there, but I could only par my last eight holes for a bogey-free 68. It was a pretty solid effort, but I left quite a few shots out there. Conditions were about as good as you're ever going to get on this golf course – warm, sunny and with not much in the way of wind. It was a day for shooting a really low number, but I had 33 putts. It's probably four more than my tournament average and it was kind of frustrating. But I didn't do any damage and was pleased with my golf from tee to green, so no complaints on that front. Hopefully in the second round I could make some putts.
I was playing the golf course the right way round on Friday and not much was really happening for me on the front nine, which is the tougher of the two nines. I finally got things going, though, with three birdies in four holes from the turn. Then I made an eagle on the last to shoot 66. I hit a lot of good shots again, as I did in the first round. The only difference, basically, was on the greens. I rolled in a few putts and had 29 in total, which is a bit more like it. At 10-under par I was in decent shape for the weekend and looking forward to having a crack at winning my fourth Desert Classic.
Record Breaking Weekend
Of course, those who've been following the last few website reports would know that being here for the weekend meant I broke Bernhard Langer's all-time European Tour record of consecutive cuts made. That's 70 tournaments in a row now. Quite proud of that record; it says a lot about my consistency – we all have rounds when we don't feel like we're on our game, but what this record says more than anything else is that even on days like that I was able to get the job done and salvage a decent score out of a potentially bad situation. That's what you have to be able to do in this game.
Anyway, on Saturday I played okay and I continued to feel a little bit more comfortable on the greens. 68 was a good score, but it should have been a couple of shots better. I made a few silly bogeys, especially on 16 where I had only a wedge to the green and took five. That's really soft. But hey, I wasn't sad about my position after three rounds. I was only two shots behind and that's nothing. I love this course. I figured if I could put it all together on Sunday and play with the same rhythm that I had on Saturday, and maybe make a few putts, I could shoot 65 and that would be good enough to win. You don't know what the weather's going to do, but that's the target I was setting myself, anyway.
The Playoff
As it turned out, 66 would have been good enough to win. But I shot one more than that…and that meant a playoff with Tiger. That tee shot on 18 is one of my favourite shots on the entire golf course – this week alone I was five-under par for that hole. I felt good about hitting driver again, but I just turned it over too much.
I had a decent lie in the sandy waste; 198 to the front, 210 to the pin; a 4-iron, basically. I suppose I could have laid-up, but it's easy to say that in hindsight. I remember hitting a great shot from almost the same spot a few years back and making eagle; I guess I was trying to do the same thing again. The shot was on. And it almost worked; just a yard or two out. But there you go. It's one of those things. I cannot complain. After all the hassle I had with my knee, to come back here against the strongest field in the world this year and almost win, that's fine. Congratulations to Tiger; it was fun going head-to-head with him again.
Like I said at the beginning of this report, overall I'm pleased with my performance. And it was good to be back in Dubai again. This is a wonderful golf tournament and the organisers, who do such an amazing job looking after us and putting on such a great show, certainly got the tournament they deserved in 2006. Let's hope they get a chance to see a re-match in 2007. I look forward to that!
I also really enjoyed the site visit to my golf course at the start of the week…and just witnessing how this place is changing. Dubai really is an incredible place. It's come a long way since I started coming here in 1993. Obviously this tournament is a huge attraction. That's part of the reason why all of these buildings are going up and all of these beautiful resorts are coming here. And with the resorts, there will be golf courses. I'm getting busy, Greg Norman is here, Nick Faldo is coming, I'm sure Mark O'Meara is going to build something here. All of the great names in golf design, they are getting busy here. It helps cement Dubai's place on the golfing and tourist map. If you're considering a holiday with family or friends, this place has got to be on the short list. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
Coming up this week…
I've flown home to Wentworth this week and we'll be here until the weekend when I head off to California for the Nissan, my first PGA Tour event of 2006, starting on February 16th. I'll obviously spend some time working on my game between now and the weekend. I've also got a Media Day at Wentworth, where we're giving the press a chance to play the new-look West Course. I'll maybe fill you in on that in my report next week. Anyway, talking of new-looks, I hope you like the redesigned website. I think the guys have done a great job
Bye for now. I'll write again just before I leave for the States.

Our research is primarily in the areas of nanoscience, inorganic chemistry, and biophysical chemistry, using computational and theoretical chemistry. Most, but not all, of our work has an environmental focus. We currently have a research grant for computing resources from Gridchem (GridChem CCG is sponsored by the National Science Foundation (grant 0438312)). The Gridchem grant gives my research students access to supercomputing facilities at Ohio Supercomputing Center, Univ. of Kentucky, NCSA, Texas Advanced Computing Center, and Louisiana State University.
Current interests include inorganic nanoparticles found in the environment; conformational and structural changes in DNA caused by chemically-induced damage by environmental mutagens (polyaromatic hydrocarbons and aromatic amines); organometallic chemistry, and physical organic chemistry. We work collaboratively with inorganic and organic chemists to model the compounds that they synthesize in an effort to help better understand the relationships between structures, spectra and reactivity.
I coordinate the freshman general chemistry laboratory course (essentially an introductory course in quantitative analysis) and teach freshman, junior, senior and graduate-level courses in general, physical, and inorganic chemistry. I also direct engineering students in independent research, including graduate students in chemical engineering.
In 2012, I was honored by my students for my teaching efforts and named to the 2012 Engineering Student Council's "Student's List." I was also similarly honored in 2009. Thanks!

The Entrepreneur's Creed
"I do not choose to be a common person. It is my right to be uncommon -- if I can. I seek opportunity -- not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the state look after me. I want to take the calculated risk to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed. i refuse to barter incentive for a dole; I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence: The thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of Utopia. I will not trade my freedom for beneficience nor my dignity for a handout. i will never cower before any earthly master nor bend to any threat. It is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid: to think and act for myself, to enjoy the benefit of my creations and to face the world boldly and say: This, with God's help I have done. All this is what it means to be an entrepreneur." --Thomas Paine

We created Pandora to put the Music Genome Project directly in your hands
It's a new kind of radio –
stations that play only music you like
Vehicles & Animals marked the band's major-label debut in April 2003, eventually spinning off four singles and garnering the band a prestigious nomination for the Mercury Music Prize. Athlete's sophomore effort, Tourist, was an even bigger success. Displaying similarities to Coldplay's reflective songwriting, the album rose to the top of the U.K. albums chart upon its release in 2005, with "Wires" peaking at number four and the follow-up single, "Half Light," reaching number 16. Tourist eventually went double platinum, and Athlete toured in support of the record until spring 2006. Upon returning home, the bandmates opted to build a personal studio and remain close to the friends and family they'd left behind on the previous tour. Sessions for Athlete's third album began in May 2006, and the self-produced, experimental Beyond the Neighborhood arrived in September 2007. Black Swan appeared two years later, with an American release following in early 2010 courtesy of Original Signal Recordings. ~ Andrew Leahey
