(-)-Hydroxycitric acid (HCA) is a compound found in Garcinia cambogia,
a type of fruit. HCA has a chemical structure similar to that of citric acid
(the primary acid in citrus fruits).
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.

Dodging a Coup in Kabul, for Now
Steve Coll, New Yorker
The Associated Press
There is little doubt the coup makers could have succeeded; they have the lion's share of Kabul's guns. The wider war they would have triggered would have turned hard and bloody, however. The northern militias would have found themselves in a conflict not only with the Taliban but also with previously pro-government Pashtuns aligned with Karzai and his favored Presidential candidate, Ashraf Ghani. The progress Afghanistan has made in health, education, life expectancy, communication, and urbanization since 2001 would have crumbled quickly.

Seattle writer/professional dominatrix's personal musings, rants and life-trivia... Updates here are rare, but I tweet prolifically, here.
Friday, May 06, 2005
Time-Wasting Link of the Day: Now, I'm not a celebrity-watcher. In fact, I'm not at all pop-culture savvy when it comes to TV and movie stars. Not only have I never seen an espisode of "Desperate Housewives" or "American Idol", I honestly can't even remember the last time Max and I turned on our TV. It may have been to watch the presidential debates last November. I do see TV shows when I'm at the gym, so there's that. But I frequently have no idea what they are, unless they feature someone immediately recognizable, like Oprah or that idiot remora of hers, 'Doctor' Phil.
I only go to movies occasionally, because I'm just too bloody busy. (Although Sin City was great, so I'm glad Roman made me go see it with him.)
I admit to reading People magazine in the grocery store checkout line, but I never actually buy it. So 90% of my information about movies stars and such comes from reading stuff online. And I don't spend a lot time doing that.
However, I am a female creature, and as such, I do sometimes have...a catty streak. That's why this site delights me so. After all, I am a high-ranking officer in the local fashion police. And it's human nature: slagging celebrities off about their fashion mistakes lets us indulge our vicious side without guilt, because hey, when you're famous, having strangers tear you to shreds in absentia is part of the job description.
(Yes, I know what you're thinking: But Matisse, don't you already get to be vicious? Shut up. Yes, I often do, but this is a different brand of nastiness. And it's fun.)
Thursday, May 05, 2005
may i ask your advice? how does a man like myself -- a big-hearted, genuine person of high intelligence, solid wit, diverse interests, and a not-exactly-repulsive physicality -- meet a dominant woman that possesses these attributes, as well? i don't want mere play, but rather a grand, marvelous love that is suffused with care, great and challenging conversation, infectious laughter, reciprocal influence, and an ever-deepening intimacy ... and a pervasive undercurrent of kink running continually throughout. ardently individualistic, i have never identified much with groups or any particular community and so i am having difficulty navigating the too-murky waters of bdsm. i hate to be so bold, but i just don't see many deep, intellectually engaging, beautiful, dominant women that are seeking something a bit More. certainly, the entire seattle bdsm community is replete with people that want to play, but even in that broad demographic, i find very few that are both intellectually/emotionally interesting and physically appealing. in fact, sadly, i see (what appears to be) a lot of people leading (again 'apparently') truncated lives (which is, of course, true of any impassioned group). i'm just curious if you have a suggestion on how i can more effectively pursue that which i seek. thank you so much for your time (even if you merely read this and do not reply -- it feels good simply to write).
Ah, a true believer in love and romance. I get letters like this a lot, although usually not as nicely written. But this particular letter-writer aroused my sympathy, as he's going to have an even slower-than-usual journey towards his dream. That's because he's not just seeking a hot time, he's seeking True Love.
Now, I'll all in favor of love. But it's hard enough for people to find the Right One for them even without dealing with the kink issue. Think about all the things that you are/were looking for in a partner, and how many people you've met who have some of those qualities, but who also have relatively inconsequential traits and habits that, nevertheless, disqualify them from Potential Partnerhood. So, a grand, marvelous love, great conversation, infectious laughter, and ever-deepening intimacy, with a deep, intellectually engaging, beautiful woman? Worth striving for, certainly, but no piece of cake for anyone to achieve, kinky or not.
And once you do add in the kink factor, the pool of potentials shrinks dramatically. It's worse luck for him that he wants a dominant woman, since the competition for dominant women is ferocious. That's because there are generally more would-be submissives than dominants, and because there are generally more men than women in the out-and-visible community. Thus, female dominants are hugely sought after. (How do you think I stay in business?)
I always wish I had some magic answer, but the fact is, you just have to keep looking. So the advice I'm giving this man the same advice I give everybody who's looking for someone. Get involved in the community, even if you aren't a joiner. If you're not involved in the community, I'm not sure where you would see any "deep, intellectually engaging, beautiful, dominant women that are seeking something a bit More"? You have to go where the ducks are – there's just no other way to do it. Sites like alt.com and bondage.com are sometimes okay, but there's simply no substitute for real-world interactions.
And don't go to one event, look around, decide that your one true love isn't there, and go home forever. That's not how you make friends, and guess what – that's what you're going to be doing when you first venture out: making kinky friends. No one meets The One at their very first party. But you start making friends, and those kinky friends you make? They're the ones who will in turn introduce you to some nice potential lovers.
PostScript: Think about developing your own erotic-dominant side. I think being willing and able to switch roles, at least occasionally, would increase the number of women who'd consider being involved with you.
Dear Mistress Matisse, I am new to Seattle. I am a woman in my mid-50s, a bottom, and somewhat shy. I would like to play with a professional dominatrix, but I'm not sure where to begin looking. (I was disappointed to discover on your website that you are not seeing women at this time.) Do you have any suggestions for new woman in town?
Thank you,
Shy Bottom
Well, in general, reading my answer to the letter above would be a start. If you're looking for female attention, though, I'd suggest the women-only parties at the Wet Spot. There's one tomorrow night, as a matter of fact.
If you insist on a professional, I'd call Lady Lydia.
I want to offer a little heartfelt gratitude for what you've meant to one anonymous soul out in cyberspace. When I moved to from the East Coast to California in 1997, I was wet behind the ears, right out of college, and I knew I was kinky. But I didn't know where to start. While surfing the web, I stumbled upon Bob Berkowitz's old show on Eyada. Enter Mistress Matisse and the Kink of the Week segment! I loved that show. In a nutshell, you were one of the first voices of BDSM reason that I encountered. It really was a revelation that here was someone who's very bright, with a good head on her shoulders... and she's kinky. Up until that point I was starting to think I wouldn't encounter normal, well adjusted people in this scene. A few years after Eyada folded, I discovered your writing through the Control Tower, and now through your blog. (Your writing style is fabulous.) I'm writing this now, because I'm finally in a place where I'm ready to explore my interests in greater detail. And you've had a positive impact on the path that has taken me to this point. So thank you for having shared your life with strangers like me. At the risk of laying it on a little too thick, you've been an inspiration.
Oh, Lord - someone who remembers me back from the Eyada.com days! Sometimes ya'll are so sweet you almost make me cry. Whenever I feel cranky about stupid phone calls and emails from rude people who annoy me, I go back and read letters like this. I don't know how to truly express how happy I am made by them.

Books On The Bedside Table
Cocaine: An Unauthorized Biography, by Dominic Streatfeild.
A lengthy, if slightly flippant, history of the drug. (Which I've never tried, interestingly.) I'm skipping around in it, rather than going cover to cover. I haven't seen Blow, although this book sort makes me want to, because it discusses the real person, George Jung, whose exploits are depicted (with some artistic license, I'm told) in that film.
The Burma Road : The Epic Story of the China-Burma-India Theater in World War II, by Donovan Webster.
"From the fall of Burma to the Japanese in 1942 until the end of the war, the Allies strove to keep China supplied with material from India - by air over "the Hump," and overland via the Burma Road, which stretched 700 miles to the Chinese city of Kunming." Not at all my usual historical period, but I've gotten interested in the history of Burma/Myanmar for other reasons, and this seemed like an interesting chapter of it. I'm about halfway through, and I'm finding it uneven: some pages I'm skimming and some utterly absorb me. But I like it overall.
Freakonomics : A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything, by Steven D. Levitt, Stephen J. Dubner.
"Levitt argues that many apparent mysteries of everyday life don't need to be so mysterious: they could be illuminated and made even more fascinating by asking the right questions and drawing connections." That line alone in the publishers review drew me in, because I am all about asking questions and drawing conclusions. Just got it and definitely looking forward to reading it.
Opium: A History, by Martin Booth.
Good historical information, although the writer's style is, rather appropriately, the opposite of the book on cocaine - slow and somewhat ponderous. (And I actually have smoked opium a couple of times - a college roommate from Delhi smuggled some over. It was quite nice. I recall thinking it was probably just as well I couldn't get any more.)
Why Smart People Make Big Money Mistakes And How To Correct Them: Lessons From The New Science Of Behavioral Economics, by Gary Belsky and Thomas Gilovich.
Just got this as a gift from one of my very favorite boys, and it looks fascinating. I've already started dipping into it. It was accompanied by a book called Stocks For The Long Run, which I will not be reading cover to cover, because the giver informs me I don't necessarily need to. It's got a lot of charts in it, and it's thick enough to club seals with, so I'm sort of relieved by that. I bet I wind up reading parts of it, though, because I'm quite interested in this whole investment thing.
Gosford Park: The Shooting Script.
Everyone in Robert Altman's movies talks just like me: fast and sometimes hard to understand. I'm sure some of my loved ones wish they had a script for me. But even though I'm usually pretty able to listen as fast as I speak, I did miss a lot of the good dialogue in this film, so...
Sherlock Holmes' Lost Adventure : The True Story of the Giant Rats of Sumatra, by Lauren Steinhauer.
Have I mentioned that I'm instantly attracted to any book (or movie, for that matter) that purports to be about Sherlock Holmes? But I have learned to approach anything outside the canon with carefully guarded hopes - Conan Doyle is undoubtedly revolving in his grave over some of the truly dreadful imitations in print. My favorite homage-to-Holmes author is Laurie King. But she isn't writing fast enough to suit me, so I'm casting my bibliographic net further afield. This book got good reviews, so I'm looking forward to trying it.

Three skunks found in Pueblo have tested positive for rabies, according to the Pueblo Health Department. They are the first skunks to test positive in Pueblo County this year.
The skunks were found at these locations:
The Health Department says no humans came into contact with the rabid skunks. Pets in the areas were up-to-date with their vaccines.
It is unusual for skunks to be out during the day, the health department says. If someone does see a skunk during the day, or otherwise acting abnormally, it is important to report the animal to the
U.S. Department of Agricultures' local Wildlife Specialist, 719-250-9035.
For any other questions or concerns contact Pueblo Animal Services by calling 719-544-3005.
Everyone is also reminded to check that their pets' vaccinations are current.

Lessen Their Stress by Letting Them Be ChildrenCasey Mullins
As I read an article on CNN about how to stop your kids from stressing, a line caught my eye:
"Children are innately wired to be happy people, and they tend to live in the moment. We as adults have so much to learn from them."
I finished with an overwhelming feeling that I am doing okay.
Not perfect.
But certainly okay.
My parents divorced when I was five. I was one of the only kids in my elementary to have divorced parents. While I don't remember details about a lot of it, I do remember an overwhelming number of arguments and screaming matches between my mom and dad, and later my step-mom. It was a rough situation all around and I have to believe they were doing the best they could with my sisters and my best interests at heart.
Our family lives a very simple existence. We don't do too much and nothing we do in life is to any sort of extreme. God comes first, family a very close second, friends third and everything else falls into its appropriate place. I spend my time with like minded friends and their families and while some may say we live a sheltered existence, I say we live with a very manageable existence.
My girls are growing up in a home where there are boundaries on almost everything. In some places they're a little looser, they twist, turn, and meander (such as bedtime and what's for dinner) while in other places they are strict and straight as an arrow (such as never give your baby sister a knife, or light a match alone.) In all of my preparation to become a mom I learned a few things that seemed to stay true and constant throughout all theories of parenting.
- Set boundaries.
- Keep to a schedule.
- Follow through.
- Love with your whole heart.
Addie's days and weeks follow a certain routine. We organize her clothes at the beginning of the school week and she completes her homework upon walking in the door from school and then places it back in her folder to be returned the next day. She plays until Cody comes home, we have dinner as a family and she goes to bed no later than 8:30 on a school night with hugs from everyone and snuggles from the cats. On Tuesdays she has gymnastics which means an extra snack and a late dinner and on Fridays she gets to stay up as late as 9 assuming she's not too grouchy. On Sundays we go to church and spend the rest of the day together as a family.
I don't function well when I have too much going and I loathe the feeling of feeling completely exhausted with no end in sight.
The CNN article mentioned "It's important that they [children] don't feel like their whole lives are topsy-turvy, that they have parts of the day to look forward to living in the moment and just being a child." We spent the entire last week together enjoying nothing more than being together and it was a blessing. Perhaps another blessing is Addie's CVS. If I don't keep her stress managed and her little body on something resembling a well-rested routine, she gets violently ill. It's very easy to convince a child that sleep and resting is important when the possible risk is painful vomiting.
I am not naive in the fact that everyone's life experience is different. Yes, I only have one school-aged child and yes I am able to work from home and have a supportive husband and friends. What the CNN article gets down to is that kids need to be given moments of opportunity to be kids no matter what life is like around them and that it is the family's responsibility to decide what core values are most important.
It is not important to us that Addie be the best at gymnastics, top of her class or the fastest runner in gym. What is important to us is that she do her best in gymnastics and have fun, understand what she is being taught in order to keep up and enjoy school be able to run fast enough to escape if a bear happens to chase her. (I kid. Everyone knows if a bear is chasing you it's more important to know a good song and dance routine.)
Everyone, including children, are going to have moments of stress. Helping them to work through the situation, no matter how small, will help build up their ability to deal with bigger stresses later on.
"Permitting our children the opportunity to experience some stress and enabling them to deal with it creates coping capacity. When you are building muscle, you shouldn't be lifting too many weights. But the right amount can strain your muscles enough to increase strength. Coping is the same way. If it's the right amount, children build capacity."
Everything I do (or don't do) for Addie is in an attempt to warm her up to being a grownup with adult problems. I would never throw her headfirst into struggles and shout "GOOD LUCK KID!" Even at seven she has a firm understanding (to her level) as to why we do things the way we do them in our house and how those rules apply to real world situations.
I know I can't keep Addie stress free nor can I make her follow the guidelines I set up for her now later in life, but I can help her to find peace amidst everything going on to keep her moving forward towards a content and fulfilling life, whatever that may be for her by allowing her moments to truly be a child while she still is one.

Re: Vista install loads BOOTSECT.BAK to second HDD
- From: "Colin Barnhorst" <c.barnhorst@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Is D:\ really a second drive or is it a second partition on your first hard drive? If you're not sure right click on Computer and select Manage and then Drive Management. That will show you where D: is.
If you got Vista preinstalled on your computer then the "D: drive" is most likely the hidden recovery partition at the end of the same drive as C: and would show as you describe and be labelled D:. Those partitions are usually about 10GB and should not be used for for user files.
What leads me to suspect this is that partitions on a second HARD DRIVE would be enumerated following the optical drive(s). That would make D: a cd/dvd drive. A restore partition would be a system partition and would be D: because it would be the second partition on the first hard drive rather than the first partition on a second hard drive. Partitions on a second hard drive would be enumerated starting with E: or F:, depending on whether you have one optical drive or two.

Yes thanks I was just mistyfied that the D: drive showed in disk manager up
as the System, Active, drive....which I thought would be the C: drive.
(when all that is on it is the 8kb BOOTSECT.BAK file)

Windows will always show a 750GB (advertised capacity) as 698GB (real
capacity) because hard drives are marketed using decimal calculations (makes
the drive sound bigger) while Windows will use a binary calculation. You
are seeing the correct numbers.
Unless I am missing your point you are describing a correctly configured

D. du Pegau is an estate bottler of Ch.neuf-du-Pape, owned by Paul F?raud and his daughter Laurence. Recognized as one of the top estates in Ch.neuf, its wines are considered among the world?s greatest. Though supply is far outweighed by demand, prices remain reasonable for those able to seek out and purchase these wines.The name Pegau (old Provencal word for a wine jug found in the excavations of the 14th century Popes Palace in Avignon) was created in 1987, when Laurence Feraud after her wine studies went home to help her father Paul Feraud at the D.. Paul always talk about Laurence as "le chef", but he is an experienced winemaker himself. The property has belonged to the family for several generations. From 1986 Paul Feraud started bottling of wine and sold it under the mark D. Feraud.Today father and daughter have made Pegau to one of the best wines in Ch.neuf du Pape. They have 17 ha. with red varieties and 1 ha. with white grapes. The 11 parcels are spread around the appellation and gives different wines, which after the blending result in a very distinct wine, a true classic Ch.neuf du Pape. In the fields organic methods are used.
There are no products that match the criteria.

Skin Pack V3
[QUOTE]*Sighs* Normally, I'm fine with a not so great skin. I can even take 3, but prepare yourself...this is a skin pack containing 22 mediocre skins. TWENTY-TWO! I hate to say it, but a lot of them
Show All
Show All
I don't really like. A lot of these are swing and miss skins. What's even more damning about this pack is that there's no real centralized theme of any kind. This pack reminds me of an ultimatum crafted from magazine letters. All the skins are pretty much random, not many of them aren't really appealing at all, and there's just...too much ill effort put into these. I respect the author's enthusiasm for making skins, but... [url="http://forums.filefront.com/sw-jk3-modding-editing/234876-master-sticky-read-before-posting-contains-tutorials-links-utilities.html"]Master Sticky[/url] Just use that if you really intend to continue an in-game career of skinning. I will admit, some of these skins are okay, but for the most part, a good chunk of them are just completely random and downright unappealing. I've posted only 3 of his skins, given that's way too much to post, screenshot-wise. One last thing for the author to consider: One good skin is much better than a bunch of nasty ones. Bot Support:Nay NPC Support:Aye New Sounds:Nay Team Support:Aye(on one) - Averus Retruthan[/QUOTE] This is just a reference from the V2 this author presented a while back. Seems he's keen on not making any major changes and presenting skins that are not really big changes from their source. The only thing the author did here was take some of the armor pieces of the Stormtrooper, jedi trainer, trando bountyhunter and reborn master and just make them transparent and make them glow. He also took the jawa and made him transparent and called him Ghost Jawa! Originality in this pack is not it's strength and overall it's not appealing. I would advise you, hoping that I'm not just talking to deaf ears, that you make skins that take more than 10 minutes to make, you can present quality stuff so go on and prove yourself you can do it. The pack contains npc but no new sounds nor team skins. [i]Ayane Yamazaki[/i]

Juicy J and The Weeknd play well together on "One Of Those Nights."
We honestly wouldn't expect Juicy J and The Weeknd to team up — Juicy is a hype, trippy kinda dude, and The Weeknd is more the pensive, sit-in-front-of-a-candle-all-night type. We wouldn't even expect them to go party-hopping together, let alone release a song together, but like our favorite chocolate-meets-peanut butter snack, the duo's differing styles complement each other on Juicy's latest track, "One Of Those Nights," from his upcoming solo album, Stay Trippy. While the dark, creeping beat could be construed as a classic Abel Tesfaye production, it actually harkens back to Juicy's early days in Three 6 Mafia. (See? These guys have more in common than they thought.) Don't worry about Juicy mellowing out too hard, however, because he's still spitting his signature lyrics about girlz, drugz, and "champagne-poppin'" partying.
Listen to Juicy J featuring The Weeknd's "One Of Those Nights" after the jump.
"I'ma visit the sky today/ I'ma dance on the clouds today/ and make it rain on everybody beneath us/ just cause they try, doesn't mean they can be us," The Weeknd croons above sparse synths and piano strokes, followed by a shoulder-shrugging, hip-shaking drum pattern. Later, Juicy rhymes on the track about stealing your girlfriend, going HAM all night, and how it's pointless to try to compare bank accounts with him: "Got a house on the hill costs a couple of mill/ Juicy J got bank like Uncle Phil." (Uh YES, Fresh Prince references are seriously always welcome.) You know what? These dudes should hang out more often.
Listen to Juicy J featuring The Weeknd's "One Of Those Nights" (NSFW).

WSRL Conference CFP--LITERACIES AND RHETORICS OF CRISIS (Nov. 7-8, 2014)

WESTERN STATES RHETORIC AND LITERACY CONFERENCE University of Nevada, Reno 2014 LITERACIES AND RHETORICS OF CRISIS
contact email:
firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com
LITERACIES AND RHETORICS OF CRISIS (November 7-8, 2014)
Crisis is not a new subject for either literacy or rhetoric studies. A crisis between oral and written literacies produced the dynamic ideological conception of literacy as an interdisciplinary study situated in specific social and cultural contexts. Rhetoric is similarly animated by identity crises: the sophists, Plato, and Aristotle vied with a sense of urgency to define the uses and misuses of rhetoric. We rehearse these origin stories to emphasize two points: first, crises are part and parcel of our disciplinary fabric, and, second, crises are both restrictive and productive. Every crisis marks the boundary between what we have been doing and what we have yet to do, gesturing toward pathways beyond those limitations.
Environmental crisis
Crisis of representation
As a state that has faced perpetual budget cuts and has continually graced the bottom of statistic-shaming, nationwide education reports, foreclosure lists, and unemployment numbers, Nevada seems an ideal place to study the literacies and rhetorics of crisis. Thus, we call you to Reno to explore the local, regional, national, and global interstitial components of crisis.
Individual, panel, and roundtable proposals should be submitted online, at http://groups.unr.edu/rhetoric/wsrl2014.html,

Nearly 70 percent of Hennepin County residents have a library card and have used it within the past three years. Your support of the Friends of HCL will make a difference for everyone who uses the Hennepin County Library's extraordinary services and resources. While millions of people come to the Library each year, the Library also does an extraordinary job in serving members of our community who may have barriers to accessing the Library's vast resources. In 2011, the Hennepin County Library's Outreach Services received the Exceptional Service Award from the Association of Specialized and Cooperative Library Agencies, a division of the American Library Association.
Funds from the Friends of HCL allow the Library to develop responsive programs and new initiatives in core service areas.
Here are highlights of Library outreach programs that the Friends of HCL helped support during the last two years that serve the unique needs of our diverse community:
New Immigrant Resources.Library staff and resources help under-served immigrant populations succeed in Minnesota through unique programs to accommodate all ages and ethnicities. The goal of these programs is to build successful families through integration into the community. The programs help new Americans through employment, education, citizenship, language acquisition, housing, and health care services and resources. Annually over 8,000 people are reached through HCL's bi-lingual liaisons, on-demand assistance, the Franklin Learning Center, Conversation Circles, World Language story times, and more.
Corrections Outreach Programs.The Library has extended its services to incarcerated men, women and juvenile offenders in Hennepin County through a series of unique, collaborative programs. Ex-offenders are offered employment re-entry resources, technology classes, small business training, literacy programs, community service opportunities, and full access to Library collections. The programs are designed to support the ex-offender and improve the quality of life for their families and dependents.
Digitization of Collection. The Hennepin County Library is making rare and unique items in their Special Collections available online through digitization. Digitization allows the Library to drastically improve access to high-interest materials while limiting handling of the fragile originals. Thanks in part to grants made through the Friends of HCL, a selection of yearbooks from the historic Minneapolis Collection (dating back to 1890) will be digitized within the year. You can now view online digital resources at www.hclib.org.

SPECIAL OFFER: - Limited Time Only!
(The ad below will not display on your printed page)
You can use feather boards to hold a workpiece down and more feather boards to hold it against the fence, but one pair of yellow Board Buddies does all that and more. They hold stock down, pull it against the fence, prevent kickback (the wheels turn in only one direction), and keep your fingers out of harm's way. Installed on your fence's top (we mounted them in T-track), Board Buddies adjust for stock thickness and roller pressure. And they provide the same benefits when switched over to your tablesaw fence. One small limitation: Buddies can't handle workpieces less than about 1" wide.Shop for Board Buddies at Amazon.com.

HHS announces affiliation plans with Partners HealthCare System
- Details
- Created on Wednesday, October 09 2013 18:36
Hallmark Health System (HHS), which includes Lawrence Memorial Hospital (LMH) of Medford and Melrose-Wakefield Hospital (MWH), today announced the details of its affiliation plans with Partners HealthCare. The goal of this affiliation is to provide high-quality, coordinated care to HHS patients in the most appropriate locations, and whenever possible, closer to their homes in lower cost community settings, the foundation of our Population Health Management initiative.
The value for HHS affiliating with Partners is the opportunity to become a fully integrated member of a coordinated system of care with primary, secondary and some tertiary care in the community and the availability of critically acute or research-based care at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), one of the highest ranked hospitals in the country. By keeping patients within a coordinated system, HHS can track the quality of their care more effectively and focus on the cost of that care by eliminating repetitive procedures, such as tests and imaging that can happen when a patient sees a disconnected number of providers. Working within a coordinated system will also diminish fragmentation of care, which is a known cause for increased costs. And the proximity of Hallmark Health System and MGH provides the opportunity to use existing facilities more efficiently and effectively to coordinate available patient services for the region.
Our plan calls for LMH to transition to a short-stay inpatient and ambulatory facility operated by MGH. The LMH campus will serve patients who are likely to stay in a hospital for less than three days. This facility will have robust outpatient services, which may include orthopedics, cardiology and digestive health. The Emergency Department (ED) will remain open during the two-year transition of LMH to the short-stay inpatient and ambulatory facility as HHS evaluates community support and use of the ED. The urgent medical needs of the greater Medford community will continue to be met through the current Urgent Care Center. Major renovations to this campus are being planned to transform the hospital into a modern, state-of-the-art facility.
MWH will remain a full service acute care hospital. Major investments from Partners and HHS will fund renovations so that resources at this campus remain state-of-the-art and HHS will have expanded capacity in medical, surgical and maternity services and potentially additional inpatient treatment areas for psychiatric patients with acute medical problems. This hospital will continue to operate under the HHS license.
Plans also call for MGH, in collaboration with Hallmark Health, to invest in an outpatient cancer center in the Stoneham area, increasing capacity in medical oncology and radiation oncology to accommodate more patients in a community-based center.
We expect to recruit twenty- five new primary care physicians which will help keep care in the community in lower cost settings and closer to the homes of patients. Major investments will also be made in state of the art information technology that will help improve community based coordinated care at lower costs.
The exciting HHS affiliation with Partners and MGH is essential to succeed in the new era of health care that focuses on better managing the health needs of the population, keeping people healthier and out of the hospital and lowering the long term cost of health care. The affiliation will ensure future access to high quality, efficiently delivered and advanced medical care for patients, their children and future generations across the communities we serve.
Both organizations are moving ahead to obtain regulatory approval for the affiliation, which will ultimately include a comprehensive review by the U.S. Department of Justice, Massachusetts Attorney General's Office, Massachusetts Department of Public Health and the Massachusetts Health Policy Commission.
For more information about HHS, visit www.hallmarkhealth.org or follow us on Twitter at http://twitter.com/hallmarkhealth.
Hallmark Health System is the premier, charitable provider of vital health services to Boston's northern communities. The system includes Lawrence Memorial Hospital of Medford; Melrose Wakefield Hospital, Melrose; Hallmark Health Hematology and Oncology Center, Stoneham; The CHEM Center for MRI, Stoneham; Hallmark Health Medical Center, Reading; Hallmark Health VNA and Hospice; Lawrence Memorial/Regis College Nursing and Radiography Programs, Medford and Hallmark Health Medical Associates, Inc. Hallmark Health is affiliated with Massachusetts General Hospital for cardiology and Tufts Medical Center for neonatology and the Joslin Diabetes Center for diabetes care.

I love movie swag and collectibles. My desk is studded with action figures, and my drawer is full of weird trinkets I've picked up at Comic-Con. Many of them are even useful -- Hulk glowsticks came in handy during a recent power outage, I use my Bones keyboard brush regularly, and I can never have enough pens or posters.
But I also feel pretty sick about it, particularly as it seems to be a marketing trend that grows larger and larger. Swag used to be a treat at Comic-Con, but now it's a given, and the fight to grab an insignificant bit of plastic is vicious. I made a conscious effort not to take anything last year, but it proved difficult as stuff was pushed and shoved into my hand as I walked by. I made an effort to hold onto it and dump the paper or plastic into appropriate bins, but there weren't enough bins for all my crap. ( I even brought a lot of it home just to dump into my paper bin. I'm such a hippy commie!) It was always a problem, but as Comic-Con and events like it become bigger and more unwieldy, the pile of plastic freebies grows. Where does it all go? Well, you know the answer to that.
It troubles me that more movies, particularly movies with environmental themes, don't go through the effort of making green tie-ins. Why did Wall-E come accompanied by thousands of plastic, disposable toys that would end up in a landfill? Why did Avatar market through McDonalds? Why not offer tie-in AeroGardens? Or t-shirts made out of plastic bottles? Stuff that's sustainable, and in line with your movie's message.
Think, too, how this stuff is made. I've always been conscious of that "Made in China" label, but as the push of tie-ins becomes greater (think of how many rush to Toy Fairs just to get first looks at a Marvel movie character), I can't help but wonder what awful factories these things are manufactured in. What are they doing to the environment? What are they doing to the people working in them? Think about whatever place manufactures Incredible Hulk glowsticks or The Reaping bug boxes all to be shipped to events thousands of miles away, and be chucked in the trash before the week is out. A disposable item can't be made in anything but a disposable place, can it?
On this Earth Day, I humbly suggest the movie geeks of the world stop and think twice about the swag and collectibles you covet. I know you liked How To Train Your Dragon, but do you really need a Night Fury? (Believe me, I want one on my desk, but why? What's it really for?) Do you need whatever collectible it is that comes in the Special Edition DVD? Do you need that LOST Bobble-Head that's exclusive to your event? What's going to happen to it once the thrill wears off and your memory of the show or movie fades?
You don't need a piece of the movie. The movie exists as it is, and you'll always love it. But I think (or hope) that you'll love open spaces, oceans, clean air and clean water more than you're ever going to love and appreciate that Whiplash bobble-head. And while he seems like one small thing, remember that there's a billion small things just like him clogging up our planet. Let's make an effort to keep crap out of landfills, and let's start this Earth Day.

What do you do when you don't want either any one except your partner in the delivery room?
ok, my mom wants to be in the room when i give birth and so does my husbands mom. It makes it really hard because i am not sure if i even want either of them in the room, but i know that the support would be nice while i am there.. My husband does not want anyone but himself in the delivery room, But my sister said that if i didn't have my mother in the room it my hurt her considering that this is her first grandchild.. But it is also my in-laws first grandchild and i don't want to hurt either of them by saying no to one and yes to the other.. they are both very excited about the baby and want all part in helping, should i let both of them in the room when i give birth? or should i make the both of them wait till after i have the baby and get settled before i let anyone in for that matter... I don't know does anybody have any answers?

With all do respect to both of these women, they have already had their time to shine in the delivery room. it sounds kind of selfish for them to stress being there even though they are excited. If i were you I would tell them that this is a very PRIVATE moment between you and your husband and you would like your privacy at this very special moment. if you know you will need both your mother's and husband's suport than you should let you mother-in-law know that this. This is what i chose to do on our 1st child and the second i asked that it just be my husband and my self and being pg with our 3rd child i will have it the same way. Keep in mind that they have bben there and they will understand!!!!! the best of luck too your family!posted 05/12/2008 by Dixie Cardenas
My sister had a nice big room and people came and went during her labor. I thought it was a nice experience and she didn't feel too crowded. Everyone felt like they were involved, but they didn't exactly get to stick around for the big show. It is up to YOU who you want in the room. Don't be afraid to express this and don't let anyone step on your toes or make you feel bad. Even your hubby. Good luck!posted 11/18/2008 by moosie711
I am almost 10 weeks pregnant with my first baby. And husband wants his mother to be with me for all my prenatal visits. It is amazing how quickly you feel that your desires don't matter when you are pregnant.posted 09/10/2009 by missymom36
With my first i wanted my mother in there with me i was so scared an at the time me an DH werent married, an we hadent talked about who was going where. My now MIL was there with her SIL they tried to stay for the birth but i wasnt having that at all..Im not a very openly naked person so having the world see my vagina wasnt really on my to do list! I think you an your DH Should do what makes you feel best, but this is something that you will remember forever. I didnt mind having my mom is there only because she had never had kids(Im adopted)an it was special for her an i wouldnt change it for the world!! Do whatever makes you an your hubby happy if he wants it to be just you too,it should be he wants it to be special!! With this baby on the way Hubby an i have decided it was going to be just us, we told his mom she wasnt to happy but thats our choice an thats our time to bond with baby, it wont kill them to wait 20 minutes after baby has been cleaned off an cuddled by mom an dad :)posted 08/08/2012 by Maddy&EmilysMommy2
Tell them they can come in after the baby is born and once you are all settled. That means cleaned up, first feeding over with, and dressed. Most hospitals do a short recovery period in the delivery room of about an hour before you move to a different room. Tell them they can come in once you're settled in the nice clean postpartum room if they insist on coming to the hospital at all. I think the best thing to do is just wait till the baby comes before you call anyone if that's possible. My mother specifically requested that I do that so she wouldn't be worrying the whole time I was in labor and my ILs are of the opinion that labor and recovery is for the woman only. My son was six days old before they came round to see him and I was grateful for that. I do not need my FIL seeing me half naked in a hospital gown whle I'm oozing and sitting on an ice pack.posted 08/15/2011 by littleoats
I wanted my mother, and my mother-in-law in the delivery room. However, unfortunately my mother-in-law pasted away a year before I gave birth. When it came time to deliver, the hospital would not allow the parents in the room because of crowding. I am so glad that they weren't allowed in because things did not go as planned, and there were complications. I know my mother was upset that she did not get to be in there but it was what was best for me and her new grandbaby. You have a lot to concentrate on at that time, you do not need to be worried about peoples feelings but the task at hand.posted 02/10/2009 by allamericanmom747
Sorry this reply is so late - I had my mom, dad, & husband with me for my daughter and plan to with my new little one too. I told my mil that if my dad gets to tired or needs a break she can spell him(because he has some health issues he didn't have before) The first time I told my mil she would not be in the room and she was very understanding - same thing this time. I think it depends on what the woman going through delivery is comfortable with NOT what HER HUSBAND or ANYONE ELSE thinks or wants. - RE having my dad in the room - I had some trepidation before my 1st birth but wanted him there since he didn't get to see me or my brother born and MY DAD WAS THE BEST SUPPORT EVER!!! While you are in labor - at least in my experience- you do not care who sees what and afterward the baby takes all your attention so it doesn't matter then either.posted 01/08/2009 by Emmamaesmommy
I think you need to do what is best for you. It's very stressful in the delivery room and you need to do what's best for you. It's not your mom's place to choose to be in there. She needs to put you and your needs first. Labor is such an intimate time for you and your husband. It was wonderful to have only him in the room to help me. My mom wasn't a part of the baby making so why would I make her a part of the baby delivery?posted 10/12/2008 by LdBmJb
I have a 14 mo. old and me and my husband initially decided we didn't want anyone else in the room once I started pushing. The family was welcome to be there until that point. We felt that was an intimate time for us, the first time we will ever see our bundle of joy and the last time it would just be the two of us. Its an emotional experience and do what you think is best. Our plan didn't work the way we wanted just because I ended up having and emergency c-section and baby was in NICU for 7 days but still he was in the room giving me all the love and support possible and immediately went with our baby to the NICU. Ultimately it is your decision and don't let anyone bully you into making a decision you don't want.posted 06/06/2008 by lilmissgenius
This is YOUR baby, and YOUR birth. Don't let anyone guilt you into anything. This is a special time for you and your husband and it is you two who should decide how it goes. I'm not sure how your hospital is set up but the one I had had curtains that blocked the door. So maybe a compromise would be for the grandmothers to wait behind that. But ultimately you should do what will feel right to you. You could also use your doctor as an excuse if you're not up to facing them. Tell them your doctor asks for everyone except the father to wait outside the room for first time moms... any doctor worth their salt will probably back you up. :) Best of luck!posted 06/06/2008 by KatJerusha

How to Improve Dunk Training – Want to Get Some Serious Hops?
Basketball players are an elite bunch of athletes idolized by children and sports fans around the world. Ask various children of all ages and they will most likely tell you that the dunk is the move that they would like to do most in a basketball game.
Some athletes say that for players who can't dunk the ball, outside shooting is an option. But the most popular professional basketball players are those who perform electrifying moves while attacking the rim.
The dunk may seem simple enough to do, but it demands much more than having height and leaping ability to your advantage. Oblivious to sports fans, basketball players undergo dunk training to improve their skills and enhance vertical leaping ability.
Practice sessions of professional basketball players are not televised and could only be witnessed by a privileged few. What a lot of sports fans don't realize is that dunk training involves a lot of specialized exercises that cater to specific needs of various athletes.
Click here to get the Best Dunk Training
Basketball Dunk training does not only comprise of exercises to increase leaping ability, but strength training as well. A player should have vast amounts of speed and agility to perform a spectacular dunk. The proper systematic training will show a player the proper dunk training to improve overall skill and mastery of the game.
The advantage of a dunk training program is evident once the player hits the basketball court for a game. Discipline and a diet rich in protein will help improve any training regimen. Practice is not a matter of preference and is required for a player to improve overall athleticism. Remember that basketball is a team game, and practice will help your team mates understand your moves and read plays to enhance dominance in the basketball court. The crowd will inevitably appreciate the extra effort a player makes improving his moves and this will be evident once basketball season starts.
So what do you need to do to improve your Dunking abilities? You need a proven system that doesn't waste your time and efforts. One that gives you super fast results.

World Cup qualifying
What: The resumption of qualifying in the CONCACAF region for soccer's 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Who: Mexico at Jamaica.
Site/time: Independence Park, Kingston, Jamaica, 6:35 p.m. PDT today.
TV: Live on Telemundo, Televisa, TV Azteca.
The bottom two teams in CONCACAF qualifying for soccer's 2014 World Cup play tonight on a bumpy field at a venerable Caribbean stadium in Kingston, Jamaica, affectionately known as "The Office."
One is Jamaica, which has qualified for exactly one World Cup in the island nation's history, in 1998 in France, where it lost its first two games by a combined 8-1 and was eliminated.
The other is Mexico, which is one of only three nations (Brazil and Germany are the others) to advance past the first round in each of the last five World Cups and which many considered a darkhorse next June in Brazil.
It's still early — CONCACAF qualifying stretches through October and everybody still has seven games left — but if Mexico doesn't radically reverse its 2013 form over the next eight days, an already taut nation will snap. Put another way: El Tri has some work to do at The Office.
On paper, you'd rate this Mexico's easiest road game in the 10-game CONCACAF hexagonal, the six-team group from which the top three advance to Brazil and the fourth-place finisher faces New Zealand for one final spot. The Reggae Boyz are in last place, with two points and one goal in three games.
But one of those points was a 0-0 tie at Estadio Azteca in February that El Tri was fortunate not to lose. And little this year has suggested the result was some sort of celestial aberration that soccer is occasionally capable of conjuring. Mexico has played six games in 2013 and tied all six, including 0-0 against the United States at Estadio Azteca and 2-2 at Honduras after leading 2-0 with 15 minutes to go.
The Mexican federation bosses, incredibly, have held their nerve and not done what they'd normally do, which is fire the coach and incinerate the chemistry lab. Still, Jose Manuel "Chepo" de la Torre's leash is a mere eight days' long.
After the Reggae Boyz in Kingston, there's another tricky road game at first-place Panama on Friday followed by a June 11 home date against Costa Rica — responsible for El Tri's only home loss in World Cup qualifying history, a 2-1 decision at Estadio Azteca in 2001.


text: Blind Somalian cavefish has 47-hour body clock Science 08 September 11 by Olivia Solon The Somalian cavefish Phreatichthys andruzzii were collected in the wild at the oasis of Bud-Bud in the center of the Somalian desert.Saulo Bambi A species of cavefish that has lived isolated and blind underneath the Somalian desert has a circadian clock that ticks over 47 hours. The fish has been used to shed light on the evolution of body clocks within animals.The circadian clock is the physiological timing mechanism that lets organisms anticipate and adapt to the day-night cycle. It is usually reset on a daily basis by signals such as light to ensure that creatures keep their body clocks synchronised with the day. However, when a creature exists in the dark and without eyes like the cavefish in question -- the Phreatichthys andruzzii -- it must develop new circadian cues.Researchers from a range of different academic organisations compared the circadian clock of the blind, Somalian cavefish with a "normal" fish -- the zebrafish. Most fish are known to regulate their body clock not only through their retinal receptors, but also through "peripheral" clock mechanisms found in other tissues.The researchers were particularly interested in the activity of the fish and the clock gene expression in both fish when they were exposed to the light-dark cycle -- alternating 12-hour periods of light and darkness. The cavefish was active at times that didn't seem to be influenced by the light at all, while the zebrafish were less active during the periods of darkness.This was a clear indication that the body clock of the zebrafish was synched to the light cycle, but that there was no synchronisation from the cavefish. However, when a regular feeding was introduced as the timing signal, it was discovered that both creatures developed a circadian rhythm. The team concluded that cavefish did have a clock that could be regulated by feeding behaviour, but not be light.The team discovered that despite having a circadian cycle that didn't respond to sunlight, the cavefish did still have a circadian clock. However this ticked over a period of almost 47 hours.The team then tried to examine which part of the light-driven clock wasn't working in the cavefish. The clock genes themselves seemed to work normally, but the photoreceptors that registered the sunlight seemed to be faulty. To test this they introduced zebrafish photoreceptor genes into the cavefish and found that this led to the cavefish's body clock responding to light.Co-author of the study Nicholas Foulkes from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology said: "First, it provides a fascinating new insight into how evolution in constant darkness affects animal physiology. While most detailed molecular studies of cavefish have focused on the mechanisms underlying eye loss, very little is known about other, broader adaptations to life without sunlight. Second, this work provides the first genetic evidence for the identity of the widely expressed photoreceptors in fish. This study sets the stage for a more complete understanding of how clocks respond to their environment." Check out the study in PLoS Biology here. Edited by Duncan Geere Latest on wired.co.uk

I'm back! And i need help getting my freshwater back on track.
Hey guys,
I moved last year, and bought a tank. The tank is a fluval edge 7g and it is decently planted with 2 fish but it isnt very well taken care of. I kind of let it go because ive been really busy, so only have been doing water changes every other week. I want to get this tank back on track, but one thing ive noticed is that most plants i put in the tank arent surviving to well. The moss balls, anubias and some other unknown plant are growing, but anything else i put in dies. Also fish have been dieing slowly, but i want to solve that. Anyways, im planning on doing a large tank remodel and wanted some input if i should put in some more powerful lights, change to Co2, or put in a substrate system. I want to be able to have a jungle in the tank, with plants everywhere mixed with wood. The tank will probably only have shrimp, maybe a couple ottos, but nothing larger. I can post up pictures later, but i was just looking for some input on this stuff. Thanks!
this is very similar to what im doing with my 20. good lights will make a difference with plants ofcourse. you can try adding plant food to the tank and hopefully that will help, cO2 would be a good option as well. as far are substrate goes there are several different types of eco or flourish type substrates that come wet and are made for plant growth. it is ultimately up to you which one you choose to do
penny is right here there are several ways you can go with many things. Co2 will help plant but you also need to upgrade your lights and add fertilizer (if you don't already?) in order to keep things balanced with the addition of Co2.
There are plant substrate but I personally don't like them as they are over priced and I can get the same results out of sand and root tabs. Though the only on I ever had was Eco Complete so I guess I cant really speak for the others. I am not saying dont try them if you want too just point out there are cheaper ways of doing it if money is a concern.
I have never had a fluval edge but isn't the light fixed in the middle of the tank?? Just wondering how you upgrade a light like that if it is the case? The light you do have what is it? Also are you adding any fertilizers at all??
I'm no help with plants or lights.
If your tank is filtered, then doing a water change every other week is by no means "letting it go".

Is this plant even aquatic?
2 Attachment(s)
I can't seem to find what it is or any information on it.
I have scanned though website after website trying to find something similar but still nothing.
Any help would be much appreciated. :-D
Attachment 133945
Attachment 133953
I have no idea! Looks nice though. One issue is that emersed (out-of-water) growth forms can look very different, in terms of leaf shape and stem thickness, from plants grown immersed (under water). I don't recognize the plant, but then again, there are lots of plants I can't ID! If the plant fades over time, well... then oops. Just enjoy it in the meantime and see what happens.
Since I see lots of nodal rootlets coming out, I bet it's aquatic, but that's just my hypothesis.
I bet someone here can ID it for you.
You can kind of see in the photo that it has quite a few roots sprouting from all over it .
I believe this is Ludqigia. If so, then yes, it is aquatic.
Judging by the roots coming out of the nodes on the stems themselves I am guess and say it is aquatic. Through I dont know what plant species it is.
I have some ludwigia in the tank also, both brought from the same store but both look completely different. So I don't think that it's ludwigia
Shinnersia rivularis perhaps?
I'm guessing it is an alternanthera bettzickiana? common name: green hedge...
it has an aquatic cousin but is non aquatic itself...
Glad you could get it solved. When I saw the picture it screamed ludwigia to me.

Sierra Elementary School students learned that math can be fun at an event that combined math skills with hands-on learning.
At Family Math Night Nov. 8, students and their families took their turns at eight math stations featuring activities such as In The Bag, focused on fractions, in which students are given clues to help determine how many teddy bears are in a bag. In Snails and Trails, participants make their own dice and use them in a racing game.
Mike Zajec and son Mikey made a ladybug clock together, using the dots on a ladybug to learn about angles.
"My goal is to bring families together in a fun, hands-on environment where they explore, communicate and learn about mathematics together," said Karyn Hodgens, who founded Kidnexions with her husband, John.
Hodgens is a former teacher whose two sons attended Rocklin schools. When they were in elementary school, she started Family Math Nights at Sierra, and last year she and her husband started marketing them as two kits – Nifty Numbers and Math Medley.
"Not only is a Family Math Night event educational, but it's a fun community-building event that serves as a great way to build positive family-school partnerships by engaging parents on an academic level," she said.
Second-grade teacher Carol Durbin agreed that it's important to get families involved in learning about math.
"In the evening, most parents sit down with their children and read, and it sends a message that reading is important and worth spending time on," she said. "I don't think families have that same experience with math."
That's why Family Math Night is so valuable, added Durbin, who hosted the Nov. 8 event with kindergarten and first-grade teacher Rebecca Burke.
"Parents are sitting side by side with their child or children. They're inquiring, noticing, thinking and playing together. It's sending the message math can be fun and is worth spending time on."
