A few weeks ago, flying pigs inspired at a lot of funny captions. Flying cars? Not so much. Hey, you can't win 'em all. Still, there were a few that rose above the rest. The winner was Jerry Lewis of San Diego for the second week in a row. Go, Jerry! We'd love to send him a new, flying car, but he'll have to settle for Steve Breen's signed original. Thanks to all those who participated. Below is the cartoon for next week's contest. To enter, email your submissions to email@example.com by 2 p.m. Wednesday.

PLEASE NOTE: Next edition for this course will be held in 2016. If you want to receive information once the registration is open, please subscribe without any obligation by selecting the topic Evolution.
This course will provide an introduction to phylogenetic comparative methods (PCM) focusing on Phylogenetic Generalized Least Squares (PGLS) and introducing Phylogenetic Path Analysis methods. PCMs provide a means of incorporating information about the evolutionary relationships of organisms (phylogeny) in statistical analyses. Phylogenetic generalized least squares (PGLS) is a generalized case of the more widely known Independent Contrasts (IC) method. It offers some important advantages over IC, including: Greater flexibility with respect to the model of evolution; traits being able to be modelled as evolving via a Brownian motion model or an Ornstein Uhlenbeck model; the ability to incorporate discrete traits in analyses; and the fact that the intercept is not forced to be 0. Phylogenetic Path Analysis allows researchers to analyse indirect relationships between traits and the directionality of linear relationships between traits accounting for non-independence of data due to phylogenetic relatedness. To enhance the practical approach of the course, participants are encouraged to bring their own data to conduct analyses and discuss the results.

Roi Maor, Tel Aviv University, Israel (2nd Edition).
"Extremely useful introduction to PGLS in the R environment, and hugely enjoyable course as far as atmosphere, organisation and food are concerned!"
Diego Gil, Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales – CSIC, Spain (2nd Edition).
"It was overall a great course! Thanks a lot!"
Participants' comment in the course evaluation (2nd Edition).
"I enjoyed the course a lot, thanks."
Participants' comment in the course evaluation (2nd Edition).
"I attended the course in March 2012 and I couldn't recommend it more! This was my first course in comparative methods and it has really kick-started my enthusiasm for R, phylogenetics and studying trait evolution. The course was well planned and the material covered was clearly presented and very current. The size and organisation of the course meant that Alejandro González-Voyer, the course instructor, could really provide a very personal experience."
Dr. H. Christoph Liedtke, University of Basel, Switzerland (1st Edition).
"Everything was fine, I think is the best course I have ever taken (and I have taken many). Probably, one of the reasons was the teacher, who was really clear and had a fantastic balance between theory and practice. The group of people was also very nice, and organisation was really efficient."
Participants' comment in the course evaluation (1st Edition).
"I really liked the course and it was totally worth for me to attend."

i understand not wanting to hit ur dogs, but sometimes if u have a hard headed one (which a lot of pits are!) then a little pop isn't anything to worry about, i have 2 very hard headed dogs who listen 90% of the time, i pop them when they are over excited and act up too, and i'm a major dog lover! no need to get mad over her popping her dog for snatching food, i'd hit her too, to me it didn't sound like she beats her dogs, i never let my dogs snatch food, and an over excited dog can really do some damage if u let them, it's better than letting her dog bite her and get away with it! OP sorry, sounds painful! and advice, teach them tricks for food, they tend to let that excited energy out doing the trick! and hide the food in ur hand so they can't really see it, but rather smell it, they are less likely to snatch it that way!
How do you think your dogs will act around your new baby? My dog starts training on Thursday to correct a few minor behaviors -- food aggression is not one of them however.
You said your female is usually calm -- but tonight she wasn't, what if she's like that all the time around baby? Just something to think about, not judging, just making sure you've thought about it.

The GTM 25 provides traffic information to compatible Garmin GPS navigators. Using this data, your device alerts you to local traffic tie-ups and displays current traffic levels. The receiver also acts as an in-vehicle power charger.

Stopped Working
This review is from: GARMIN GTM 25 with lifetime traffic
Pros: Once plugged in the Garmin connected to the traffice service and worked flawlessly for over year until my map subscription expired.
Cons: Garmin prompted me to upgrade my maps after one year. Living in the NY metro area where no new roads are being built I didn't feel it necessary. But then the traffic stopped working and messsages then said I needed a software upgrade for traffic to work. Used the Garmin webupdater as instructed and now the device keeps asking me to connect the traffic receiver.
Other Thoughts: Scoured the web and Garmin site. Tried a total reset and redownload of the receiver software. No go. I now have an $80 power cable that does nothing. I don't know if its the cable or if Garmin is forcing me to buy a map upgrade in order for the traffic to work. Whatever; I will neither upgrade the map or replace the traffice receiver cable. Traffic and weather on the 8's at WCBC-AM 770. It's free.

Worked perfectly
This review is from: GARMIN GTM 25 with lifetime traffic
Pros: Saved me at least 30 minutes on a ride through Washington D.C.
Cons: Bought the GPS unit at a big box sore, where the little information placard said it had traffic support. No mention that you needed to spend an additional $100 to actually USE the traffic support. Not faulting Newegg, or the GTM 25 for this.
Other Thoughts: Driving along on Interstate 95, suddenly my Nuvi 1300 says "Severe traffic ahead, recalculating", and took me on a alternate route. I could see the traffic that was backed up as I flew by on my alternate route at 70 Mph.

Comes with advertizing
This review is from: GARMIN GTM 25 with lifetime traffic
Pros: Long cord, good quality connectors
Cons: Annoying pop up ads when traffic is enabled
Other Thoughts: Using this cable, instead of a regular power cable, enables traffic reception on your Garmin, but at the expense of annoying advertisements on your screen, blocking your map and directions. Traffic coverage his spotty at best, so not worth the hassle (IMHO) of clearing the ads and/or the nag at power-up. I'll switch back to a standard power cable as soon as I can find one - this is the only cable that came with my unit (1350LMT)

With the proposed Responsible Labor Act, the mayor, representing management, will negotiate with unions. If impasse is reached, the contract is to be taken to the Assembly, which also represents management, for resolution. So at the onset management has scored 2 points and unions 0. Adding in the no strike provision adjusts the score to management 4, unions 0. This scheme will sure meet the mayor's and his seven Assembly buds' goal of an "efficient and streamlined process."
The mayor can't lose and the unions can't win. Soapy Smith would be proud.

TOM VASEL'S Top 200 Games - 2007 Edition COMPLETE LIST
- Dustin MillerUnited States
Intro (please read!)
And once again, I've decided to make my top 100 games list, just like last year, and the year before. I originally started doing this because I was asked to for a games conference in Malaysia, now I'm just doing it because I find it fun and fascinating.
Originally, I put the list out in November/December, but I've moved it up to September if only because I'm busy doing several other things in the Christmas season. Putting the list together is a bit of work, but this year I really worked to get it as close to what I wanted as possible. I wrote each game's name on cards, and then compared each game to every other game to put them in a definitive order.
Definitive order, you may ask? How can you be sure that game # 34 is better than game # 37? Well, they just are in my opinion, which certainly has wild changes at times. I'm not trying to say anything about these games amongst the general gaming populace, these are simply MY opinions. I'm trying to match up my opinions with those I have at BGG, but they may not match up exactly. Take these as the accurate ones.
Speaking of ratings, let it be known that I've played 1300 games. Just because a game hasn't made my top 200 list here, doesn't mean that I don't think it's good! There are hundreds of other games that I enjoy and recommend. These are simply what I determine are the best of the best! I once had someone get upset because a game that I recommended wasn't on my top 100 list. These are simply MY favorites.
My biggest criteria for picking games is simply how much fun the game is. I like games from almost all genres, although you'll find few war games, and no roleplaying or CCG games on the list - although I do enjoy them from time to time. Each game is listed, with a link to its entry at Funagain if you click the picture. Clicking on the name of the game will bring up my full review of the game, if one is available. I've also included short thoughts on the top 100 (doing all 200 would have taken much longer - perhaps I'll do it in the future).
There have been some major changes from last year, although most shifts are due to new games being added to the list, or are simply minor movements. The biggest change is that Caylus is off the list completely, being knocked off by Pillars of the Earth and Caylus Magna Carta. Tigris and Euphrates also took a large drop, as did Age of Steam. I finally decided which of the Commands and Colors series was my favorite, and my top ten shifted just a bit more.
Well, I'm sure I'm going to get feedback on the list, and you are certainly welcome to tell me what you think. A Geeklist is or will soon be up about the subject, and you can sound off there. But enough blathering,

Police: Chester woman stole jewels and gold from Winhall homeStaff Report | November 09,2012WINHALL A Chester woman was cited by police in the theft of $8,000 to $10,000 in gold and jewels from a house in which she worked, according to Sgt. Thomas Crowe of the Winhall Police Department.
January M. Nelson, 30, of Chester, was cited to be arraigned in Bennington criminal court on a felony count of grand larceny and possession of stolen property.
Crowe said the owner of a Winhall Hollow Road home in Winhall reported the items missing, including a large amount of gold jewelry and precious stones, on Sunday.
Police believe the items were taken Oct. 22 but no one noticed their absence until recently.
The homeowner provided police with photos of the missing items.
On Monday, Crowe interviewed Nelson, who had a home-cleaning business that included the Winhall home. Based on that interview, Winhall police officers recovered the stolen jewelry from locations in Winhall, Chester and Springfield.
Store owners identified Nelson as the person who sold them the jewelry, Crowe said.
Crowe was assisted in recovering about $4,000 to $5,000 in stolen jewelry from a location on Mattson Road in Chester by Chief Richard Cloud of the Chester Police Department.
Crowe said Nelson does not have a criminal history in Vermont.
The Winhall Police Department reminds homeowners to try to get photographs of any valuable property and jewelry so that if the items are stolen or damaged, they can later be identified and to check thoroughly the backgrounds of people working in their homes before leaving them alone or granting them access.MORE IN This Just InBARRE The Raiders built a 13-1 halftime lead before shifting into cruise control Thursday...

I read some very bad reviews about USA Truck Inc. at http://www.telonu.com/reviews/usa-truck-inc It sounds like a scary place to work. Do you agree?
if u drive for them. all u ever get from them will be frustration and anger because drivers are worth nothing in their eyes. night dispatch is a failure. very impolite and very unprofessional and he provides no help to drivers at night. u will get loads going to up state new york with cheap flat rate. beers, recycle paper, nasty aluminum, u name it. lot of sweeping and cleaning from the last driver who did not do their job right.trailers got lot of problems sitting on cutomer's yard. 70% of top customers said that USA trailers are problematic.driver lounges are nasty. often see confused drivers wondering around with empty rooms in there terminals because nobody cares to answer anything after 5pm... if u call to their phone driver hotline for help, it takes at least 30 mins for someone to pick up the phone and tell u something useless. you will often pick up a load for another driver to take home. your paid miles will be 30 miles. you then sit for hours before you get your next load. this company is very unorganized and full of crooks. stay away from USA trucks.
You are very right. They have MAJOR turnover problems with drivers and dispatch. Last I heard they cant even keep up with the driver loses at this point. They keep losing more drivers then they can hire. They are desperate for trainers to train new drivers. This is a company in real big trouble.
Companies like this make our roads unsafe. They pay such low wages that thier new drivers quit once they figure out they arent making any money.
i wouldnt work for those s o b's again
Sure is. Drivers are quitting in droves. Poor pay, they jack you around on expenses, they cheat you out of miles, and their dispatchers don't know shit from shinola. As of yesterday, 35 drivers quit in Vandalia.

Relaxed Flash: Blitzableiter Checks for Malicious Flash Files
On stimulus from the German Federal Agency for Information Security (BSI), Felix "FX" Lindner of the Phenoelit hacker group investigated the security of Flash object code. The result is a free protection program with the name Blitzableiter ("lightning rod").
Lindner checked into the security model for Adobe's Rich Application Platform and found out that the interpreted Flash object code leaves open many security holes that could lead to problems for users and hosts having Flash content. He discovered that the Flash Player has indeed two virtual machines. The more commonly used older Adobe Virtual Machine (AVM1) actually provides attackers the greatest opportunity because of its multitude of supported, backwards-compatible version formats. The second VM, AVM2, Adobe released as open source under the codename Tamarin, but not too many content providers are currently using it. At least according to Lindner's public presentation at the 26th Congress of the Chaos Computer Club in Berlin.
Lindner, who is a regular attendee at the Chaos congresses, found this two-VM solution a problem in that it leads to complex code that in special cases may lead to errors in the Flash compiler. To protect Flash users from such problems, Lindner, under the Blitzableiter project name, wrote a kind of recompiler that analyzes existing SWF files for embedded ActionScript code and cleans them up, to prevent problem cases with possible vulnerabilities from occurring. The tool may double the code size, but could detect all problem cases in the test set. It let through over 80% of the problem-free code. Because 20% were false positives, Lindner sees room for improvement and set up a subproject for reporting such cases, apologizing for his "limited developer qualifications." Nonetheless, he's offering the software for download under GPLv3.

How to categorize cash expenditures?
Thu Dec 06, 2012 8:57 am
I get my cash money from an ATM (Geldautomat). Every week or so I withdraw 100 Eur and spent for various things. If I want to categorize these spending, how to do that? Just take an arbitrary ATM withdrawal and split that? Of course you never know from with ATM withdrawal your spend money actually was...
I hope you can get my point...

Re: How to categorize cash expenditures?
Thu Dec 06, 2012 9:06 am
You can account for all your cash spendings using a cash account. In this case the withdrawal would just be a transfer from you bank account to you cash account. After that you can record your cash spending in that account.

I have seen tons of posts about ppl worry that they won't look preggo. The new thing to me was understanding this B belly and D belly thing. It has to do a lot with the way we wear our pants pre pregnancy. Getting rid of the B belly would be a lot harder and seem to not go away until you are about ready to pop. I have always been one to wear my pants above my waist because it felt more comfy to me, so I don't really have to worry about the B belly thing. I can say though that I was so worried that I wouldn't look pregnant. My pre pregnancy weight was 34, I go to get weighed at the end of this month (praying I haven't gained much) I finally gathered the guts to take a belly pic and wanted to share it with the other larger women that have or had the same fears as me. I just think that best thing to do is wear your pants above your waist as it will give a better appearance of a D belly. One thing I do too is when I am in the store I always rub my tummy or have my hands on my tummy. One day I was in Walmart and this lady kept looking at me as if she wanted to ask if I was pregnant, but didn't want to offend me if I was just large. I can feel for sure that I am growing. Keep your heads up it will happen we are all different, but there are ways and things you can do to help.

Northwest Iowa's uninsured usually have jobs but a safety net isn't always available; maneuvering through health care delivery system is no easy task
Cynthia Houston didn't panic when she lost her school district job in 2008. She looked for another job and paid the extra money to keep insurance through COBRA. She found work but couldn't afford insurance there. That was when she had a breakdown.
"I guess you're in that nowhere land of: you don't really qualify for help with this, you're not old enough to get offered (insurance) for senior citizens," Houston, 60, said. "You're kind of out there on your own."
She eventually found help. But state efforts to help Iowans without health insurance pay for doctor visits and other medical care fail to reach all who could use the assistance, a review by five Iowa news organizations of the state's health care delivery systems for uninsured Iowans reveals.
Geographic limits, alone, ensure that one program Houston was referred to -- IowaCare -- does not reach all Iowans who need it, even though it is considered to be a last resort for Iowans ineligible for other programs that fund accessible, affordable health care.
One in 10 Iowans lives without health insurance. Estimates range from 312,600 by the Kaiser Family Foundation to 342,000 by the U.S. Census Bureau. They live in a state where some health care professionals -- although not all -- predict there won't be enough available primary care providers to handle growing demand for health care in Iowa from aging baby boomers, working people with inadequate insurance coverage and others entering the health care market.
"It seems to me, from my perspective, to be a perfect storm," Wendy Gray, executive director of Free Clinics of Iowa, said about that anticipated convergence of trends.
The health care workforce, which includes specialists, physician assistants, nurses and others, is a concern, said Dr. Stephen Eckstat, board president of Free Clinics of Iowa and CEO at Mercy Clinics Inc. of Des Moines. But, he said, he expects Iowa to have enough primary care doctors, with Des Moines University and University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics graduating them and the doctors staying here.
The most serious concern, Eckstat said, is that people increasingly cannot afford insurance. "The crisis is financial," he said.
Free Clinics of Iowa's network of 33 free medical clinics dealt with more than 13,600 patient visits in each of the past two years, up from 13 clinics handling 5,018 clinic visits in 2005. It did not count the number of patients making the visits but about 11,000 visits each of the past two years were by people lacking health insurance, the organization's records show.
Free medical clinics are but one safety net for uninsured Iowans.
In Cedar Rapids, a community with two hospital systems, a federally subsidized community health clinic and a reputation for low-cost, high-quality care, some patients fall through the cracks and often rely on free health clinics for basic care.
Demand for the Iowa City Free Medical Clinic's services has risen sharply over the last two decades, despite UI Hospitals and Clinics being in the same city. In fiscal year 1991, almost 3,700 visits were made to the free clinic. Last year, that number had jumped to more than 6,200. "We see uninsured patients, as well as patients who have insurance that excludes certain conditions, or policies with an extremely high deductible," Jennifer Miller, the clinic's case manager, said.
The Free Clinics of Iowa network's small clinics, sometimes operating only three to five hours a week in church basements, community centers and other available buildings, aren't confined to traditionally low-income areas. Gray referenced clinics in West Des Moines, where the median household annual income was $63,978 and 6.1 percent of the people lived below the poverty level during the 2010 census, and Waukee, medium household income of $74,413 and 2.8 percent below the poverty level.
"Neither one of those communities would show up as underserved and underemployed," Gray said. "But I can tell you, those clinics are busy."
So are places like UI Hospitals and Clinics. A 2011 report from the Iowa Hospital Association shows the medical complex served almost 380,000 "community benefit" patients last year. That includes those with uncovered Medicaid and Medicare costs, patients who didn't pay in full for their services and more than 12,000 "traditional charity care" patients.
"University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics is committed to treating all Iowans, regardless of their ability to pay for their care," hospital spokesman Tom Moore said.
"Certainly, people are accessing health care if they're not insured," Charles Palmer, director of the Iowa Department of Human Services, said. But all health care cannot be free. Health care providers earn salaries and supplies and facilities cost money. State assistance programs that help people who do not have insurance pay medical bills fall under three programs:
* Medicaid, available to low-income and some disabled Iowans but also some with extremely high medical bills.
* Healthy and Well Kids in Iowa, or hawk-I, and a Medicaid expansion program in the Children's Health Insurance Program for Iowa that covers children of low-income working families.
* IowaCare, for those ineligible for Medicaid or hawk-i.
Almost one of every four Iowans is expected to use Medicaid this fiscal year, which started July 1 and runs through June 30. That is 698,000 Iowans in a program on track to pay almost $4 billion to 38,000 health care providers this budget year. The state will provide one-half of that money, the federal government the other half.
Iowa's Medicaid program is so big it is the state's second largest health care payer. Only Wellmark serves more, the human services department points out in a report on its current budget year.
Enrollment in Iowa's Medicaid program increased 5.4 percent in fiscal 2011 from the previous year. At least the increase slowed down. It was 9.4 percent in fiscal 2010 from the previous year, the human services department reports.
Expanding Medicaid in Iowa to include more patients would increase enrollment in the program about 25 percent, from 110,000 people to 130,000, the Department of Human Services predicts in a report it compiled for this budget year. That estimate may be low. Department officials and researchers looking into the system said in interviews 150,000 to 180,000.
Expansion is being discussed, and people enrolled in IowaCare would be part of it, moving into Medicaid for full benefits there.
Seven of every 10 uninsured Iowans works full time, and more have part-time jobs, a report being prepared by the Iowa Public Policy Center states. The center is at the UI.
Cynthia Houston, 60, has had Type I diabetes for about 45 years and heart issues since a heart attack five years ago. She credits the Community Health Centers of Southeast Iowa for keeping her healthy and helping her find other ways to access affordable care.
Through the center's Columbus City clinic, 12 miles from Winfield, she got on a prescription drug assistance program and applied for IowaCare, for access to cataract surgery at UI Hospitals and Clinics.
Elizabeth Busler, 35, works odd jobs when she can but needs five insulin shots daily to control her diabetes. She found help as a recent enrollee in IowaCare. But even before she moved to Cedar Rapids late last month she traveled from Vinton for medications at the Community Health Free Clinic.
Busler drove nearly 80 miles roundtrip to the free clinic every three months because IowaCare doesn't cover the cost of the shots, she said. "I get spells when it's too high or too low," she said of her blood sugar levels. Without the injections, "I could go into a diabetic coma or it could be fatal."
Despite moves to reach more people Iowa is in a waiting game when designing a way to cover the costs of uninsured Iowans' health care because of uncertainty over whether or not the state will expand Medicaid.
That expansion is called for under the Affordable Care Act, known better as Obamacare. The law allowed the federal government to take Medicaid funding away from states that did not expand coverage to more people.
But while famously upholding the law during the summer, the U.S. Supreme Court said in its National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius ruling that states are not obligated to expand. That led Gov. Terry Branstad to say Iowa should not expand because of costs to a stressed federal budget.
But the system Iowa has been planning, to date, to increase coverage opportunities is based on expanding Medicaid. The reason: the Affordable Care Act has been law since 2010, and has deadlines for completing action toward full implementation at the beginning of 2014.
The Department of Human Services has planned for spending $3 million over three years for a new computer system it will use to determine patients' program eligibility. Health care exchanges, through which people can buy insurance, must be established. "There are other things that are services and other benefits that are being rolled out on a regular basis that we have to accommodate, too," the department's Palmer said.
The state is using IowaCare, which started in 2005 as a replacement for Iowa's old indigent care program, as its bridge to 2014. The decision to do that was made two years ago, when the program needed to be renewed through 2013. Having IowaCare, despite limitations in that system, kept Iowa from having to start from scratch. It is to expire at the end of next year, with no other substitute plan for covering those receiving it now.
Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney has said he would work with Congress to repeal the Affordable Care Act but first would give states waivers that allow them to opt out of the law's requirements. President Barack Obama would continue to implement the law he worked hard to get passed and upheld in the Supreme Court.
Branstad, a Republican, is waiting for November's federal election outcome to determine how to proceed. "While we don't know the outcome yet, we're prepared for either scenario," his press aide, Tim Albrecht, said.
Rep. Beth Wessel-Kroeschell, D-Ames, the ranking minority member of the House Human Resources Committee, said she expects Medicaid expansion, which she supports, to get a full airing in the next legislative session. "As we implement the Affordable Care Act in Iowa and we expand Medicaid, we will begin getting to more and more of these groups that we need to get to," she said.
The Affordable Care Act orders states to provide Medicaid to people living below 133 percent of the poverty level. That 133 percent level is $14,856 in annual income for one person. It is $30,657 for people living in a family of four.
The IowaCare program provides health care coverage for Iowans living below 200 percent of the federal poverty level, or $22,340 for an individual and $46,100 for someone in a family of four. Most patients in IowaCare get their care free, although some pay a portion of their costs on a sliding scale.
The program has more limitations -- on medications, durable medical equipment and mental health, for example -- than the Medicaid program.
Moreover, it never was established to serve as a be-all, catch-all program for uninsured Iowans. It replaced the Iowa Indigent Care Program, or the "papers" program, through which all counties but Polk sent low-income patients to UI Hospitals and Clinics for free health care. Polk County had a program that sent patients to Broadlawns Medical Center in Des Moines.
IowaCare started with centers at the UI and Broadlawns, then expanded to include hospitals in Waterloo and Sioux City in October 2010, mainly because the long travel to Iowa City or Des Moines made the program impractical for people in many parts of the state. Now eight centers exist.
Dubuque's Crescent Community Health Center, which started providing primary IowaCare services for eight northeast Iowa counties on Dec. 1, served more than 700 IowaCare patients during the first three months of 2012. "We've been pretty busy with IowaCare," said Julie Woodyard, Crescent's director.
State legislation authorizes having up to 14 federally qualified health centers in the state. It also calls for using a medical home model, in which a doctor, physician assistant or nurse practitioner coordinates a patient's health care, referring as needed to specialists, laboratories, pharmacies, dental care, mental health services and hospitals. An electronic health records health network being developed will help with that coordination, Iowa Public Policy Center Director Peter Damiano said.
The Iowa Public Policy Center is studying the impact the Affordable Care Act will have on health care delivery. While Medicaid and hawk-I have their established limits, attention has been given to the IowaCare program.
The UI center found problems when it surveyed 1,708 IowaCare patients in winter 2010-11.
Two of every five patients needing specialty care, for instance, had instances of being unable to see anyone at UI Hospitals and Clinics or Broadlawns, the survey showed. Other results generated relatively large majorities of people who were pleased with the care they received, but also a significant percentage who had difficulty, too. For example:
* Two of every three patients needing either routine or urgent care said they always or usually received it as soon as they thought they needed it. One-half of those needing urgent care usually received it on the same day. However, 19 percent -- or one of every five patients -- reported waiting 15 days or longer to receive urgent care.
* Almost one-half, or 45 percent, of the patients trying to get medical help by phone said they got it only sometimes or never. The 55 percent with better responses marked a decrease from around 75 percent in 2008.
* One in four needing preventive care was unable to receive it, the study showed.
Yet, a majority received preventive care, which leads to the value judgment policy makers have to make with such data: is this good, or is it bad? "To be honest, we struggle with that all the time," Damiano said.
Damiano, who also is a UI professor of preventive and community dentistry, said the center does not advocate for or against programs but that state policy makers seek guidance.
"The way I've sort of come to think about this is that, for about a third of the people, the program seems to work really well, and provides excellent care," he said. "And so this program really is a safety net for these folks, and really works very well for about a third of them.
"For about a third of them it works pretty well. It's not great, it doesn't do everything, but it's certainly a whole lot better than having nothing.
"Then for a third of them, it might be better than nothing but it's not, at least in their view, ... a whole lot better than nothing."
The main reasons for not getting routine care when needed were transportation or travel distances to care centers, the inability to afford care, the lack of IowaCare coverage or trouble getting an appointment at UI Hospitals and Clinics or Broadlawns, the Public Policy Center study found.
"I think you have to take those numbers within the context of how the program is structured," Jennifer Vermeer, director of the Iowa Medicaid program, said.
Only four centers provided IowaCare services when the survey was done, plus their volume went from about 5,000 at the beginning to the current 60,000, Vermeer said. "Those four providers receive only partial reimbursement for the care they're providing. They're donating all of the prescription drugs. And in the case of the University of Iowa, until 2010 they never received any payment for their physician services."
Department of Human Services leaders expect the IowaCare program to cover 91,171 adults in this budget year, which ends June 30, 2013. It served 87,229 in all of fiscal 2012. People move in and out of the system, though, so those numbers do not represent how many are in during a given month. The number IowaCare leaders pay attention to is 61,100 clients, its current enrollment, and highest to date.
State officials have learned lessons from the IowaCare program. Vermeer said experiences are showing that having medical centers as medical homes for patient care can help people with chronic diseases. Another lesson, she said, is that people need plenty of assistance to navigate the health care system, especially if they never had insurance before.
Vermeer said she sees improvement, given that only two IowaCare health centers existed before 2010, and only four before the recent expansion to eight. "Now, with that being said, if you had all the money in the world is this how you would design a program? I would say no, because it does have a lot of access issues," she said.
"But we've done the best we can with both the state and federal resources that we had available to us to try and make the access as good as we can get it, within the very strong constraints of program financing and the program structure."

Guests entertained by Babyface during the charity gala last year.
THE prestigious Malaysian Grand Prix Dinner is back this year to kickstart the Formula One weekend.
The black-tie event will be held at a specially constructed three-tiered grand marquee at Plaza Petronas KLCC on March 27.
The venue will also play host to the Twin Towers @live 2014 concert on March 28 and 29.
So far, K-Pop singer Rain and British performer Craig David are confirmed for the concert.
The by-invitation Malaysian Grand Prix Dinner event is
traditionally attended by the Yang
di-Pertuan Agong, the Raja Permaisuri Agong and the Prime Minister as well as Malaysian and international celebrities.
The evening will start off with a cocktail reception where guests will have the opportunity to mingle with F1 drivers.
Last year, international celebrities such as Kenneth 'Babyface' Edmonds, Josh Hartnett and Teri Hatcher attended the dinner.
Past years' performers included Lionel Richie, JT Taylor from Kool & The Gang as well as Datuk Siti Nurhaliza.
The gala event is a tradition
since the race was first held here in 1999.

Changing Stations
What's wrong with tweaking the Good Friday tradition to make room for child mortality, the environment, and other global problems?
Also in Slate: Larry Hurtado investigated how early Christians wrestled with the idea of resurrection, and James Martin discovered why Easter never became as commercialized as that "Santa" holiday.
The people at Episcopal Relief and Development who distributed the new liturgy insist that their alternative version was intended to complement, not replace, the traditional stations. They say the service would not be a good choice for Good Friday. And, they add, their cause is a good one: Meeting the Millennium Development Goals is an institutional priority of the Episcopal Church.
Certainly some of the criticism of the liturgy can be written off as more of the usual sniping by liturgical traditionalists at social activists, part of the ongoing division among Anglicans. And—also as usual—there was plenty of more-pious-than-thou posturing on display. One of the perils of defending old-style "smells and bells" worship is that you may find yourself on the same team with the kind of blog posters who take it upon themselves to accuse others of mortal sin.
But even allowing for these stipulations and noting the worthiness of the Millennium Development Goals themselves, the liturgy strikes a disconcerting note.
Part of the problem is the suggested activities, some of which smack of grade-school art assignments. (Finger paints?) Then there's the language, which too often slides into the bland agreeability of the corporate mission statement. ("Clean water, sanitation, and development can work together to save lives and create productive, thriving societies and safeguard our planet.")
The value of liturgy lies in its ability to unite people around powerful ritual moments. But the Stations of the Millennium Development Goals appropriate the form of the old-school Stations of the Cross service without retaining the sense of sacred mystery that makes it so powerful. That's no sin—but it is a bit of a shame.

Japanese players' association to vote July 22
Updated: June 30, 2005, 11:02 PM ETAssociated Press
TOKYO -- Japan tentatively agreed to take part in baseball's first World Cup-style tournament if its professional players' association agrees to it.

U.S. major league and union officials traveled to Japan two

We were just looking for an overnight stop and tried this park. It's accessed via a narrow, twisty road, but is worth the effort. The camp host came out and directed us to a pull-through in campground 2 that had 30 amp electric only, but that was fine for the one night. Lots of trees so no satellite where we were. The other campgrounds (there are 4) might be better. The Verizon Wireless was excellent and we were even able to watch some Netflix. The roads and sites were all paved. - Ned

Facing a 20-year-old goalie making his first career NHL start on Saturday, the Avalanche's game plan unfolded in ideal fashion before an afternoon crowd at the Pepsi Center.
The Avs, who entered 1-4-1 in their previous six home games, scored twice within the first two minutes to rattle youngster Kevin Poulin and put the New York Islanders on their heels.
The momentum, however, was snuffed out by four ensuing Colorado penalties. The Avs, as usual, weren't effective on the penalty kill at home.
The Islanders scored three consecutive power-play goals to take the lead and ultimately won 4-3 in overtime on an own goal credited to John Tavares.
Tavares, the No. 1 selection in the 2009 draft, beat rookie defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk out of the corner and drove to the net. Shattenkirk's partner, Matt Hunwick, poke-checked the puck off Tavares' stick and into the net, behind goalie Craig Anderson.
The Avs were left with just a point, thanks to Milan Hejduk's second goal of the game with four seconds remaining in regulation and Anderson on the bench for a sixth attacker.
Hejduk also scored 45 seconds into the game, and the Avs went ahead 2-0 on David Koci's redirection goal 1:02 later.
"After those first two goals, we had the momentum and everything was going our way. I was like, 'We're going to get five or six goals tonight,'" Hejduk said. "But they scored a couple power-play goals and you could feel the momentum of the game switching their way. We battled the whole game to get it back, but nothing goes smoothly for us right now. We're squeezing the sticks too hard. It seems like we're not working smart enough and running around too much."
Poulin, who was called up from the minors on Tuesday, finished with 34 saves. Winger Jeremy Colliton, who was called up Friday, scored two power-play goals in his first NHL game of the season.
Former Colorado College defenseman Jack Hillen had two assists for the Islanders.

I had a little bleeding last night and went in for an ultrasound this morning. They told me that thebaby had quit growing at 8 weeks and there was no heartbeat. They said I can wait to miscarry. I am cramping some now, but he said it could be a week before I really start to miscarry. Or I could have a D&C. I am not sure what to do, but leaning towards waiti ng. What are your experiences?
miscarriage at 10 weeks
Jessi, Mommy to Lucille and Finn
HI! I am so sorry for your loss. I too miscarried at 10 weeks and it sucks! I was also given the option of waiting, putting pills in my cervix or having a D&C. I chose to have the D&C because I really just wanted it over. I was soooo afraid of having the D&C and it is really a personal preference but it was soooo easy! I went in at noon, was put under general anesthesia which I was so nervous about and in 15 minutes it was over. I was home by 4pm after recovery etc and rested on the couch for 2 days. I cramped mildly.. nothing over the counter motrin couldn't handle. I am still spotting but they said you can spot for up to two weeks.
As for the natural miscarriage, again, personal preference but I was afraid of how long it would take and how painful it would be. I have two boys now that I really needed to be able to focus on so I chose to get it over with. There are many girls on here who have done it all ways and I am sure will weigh in.
Again I am so sorry for your loss and wish you luck no matter what method you choose.
Mommy to Brady, Tucker, Mallory and lastly #4, due 6/11/2014!!
^angel^ baby 12.18.08 at 10weeks
I should be 10 weeks now, and received the news last week that the baby had stopped growing at 6+ weeks. I am still waiting to miscarry naturally. But I really don't like the idea of a D&C. It is surgery, and I just don't want medical intervention in a natural and very personal process. I am nervous about what the miscarriage is going to be like, but I feel like it will bring a sense of closure that a D&C just won't. Good luck to you whatever you decide. It is a very personal decision. Listen to your heart and do what feels right for you.
Cristina,mama to Michael 03-16-06, Nathan, 01-16-11, and an angel 01-20-09.
Go with your gut, follow your heart.
Hi, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, it's so hard to go through! I am currently going through my 2nd m/c this year. Both have been the same situation as you, went in for dr appt at 10 weeks and was told the babies had stoped forming. One at 6 weeks, and the others (twins? there were 2 sacks) didnt get past a gestational sack. I will tell you what have chosen and it might be TMI so sorry if it's bad.
With the first m/c I chose to go with the pills you insert. Let me tell you it was probably the hardest thing ever. I cramped pretty badly, I was taking Tylenol with kodene and was still cramping so bad it hurt. It took most of the day to work...then I started bleeding, I bled more than I thought was possible, I probably should have gone into the ER, but she said if it lasted that way for an hour and it didnt, it was close though. It really just felt like it was pouring out...sorry TMI, but I would have liked for someone to tell me that before I did it. That lasted the rest of the day, not as bad, but bleeding and cramping. Then a few days of more bleeding but period like bleeding, then I had to go back a week later for follow up, and there was still some tissue so I had to do it again. It wasn't as bad the 2nd time, but still pretty bad cramps, and again soaking through pads pretty quickly.
This time, I found out I was m/c on a Tuesday, 2 weeks ago. On that friday I started spoting. Went in for a follow up appt on Monday still spotting. Decided we would go for a D&C, because I did not want to go through with the pills again, and I've been bleeding more and more since then. I would be ok with going naturally, but really I just want it to be over with so I can move on, and who knows how long that could take if I just let it wait.
I hope that was ok for you, I know it sucks to think about and to read about. It will hurt for a long time, you wont ever forget it, but you will be able to get past it and move on. You have to stay positive, and keep moving with your life. Everyday you just have to make yourself get up and go even if it is just going through the motions, otherwise it will drag you down pretty far. Please take care, and know that there are more of us out here, and we all care. If you ever want to talk you can message me.
I had a miscariage at 9 1/2 weeks and chose to do the D&E (simmilar to D&C) I had already gone two weeks with the lifeless baby inside of me, and was really upset with the whole situation. I wanted it done fast because I was afraid of infection. I had it done a few days after I found out and then got pregnant after my first period. it was painless, there is a little discomfort after the procedure.
Hello there, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I just came back from my u/s and was told at 10 weeks there was no heartbeat and the baby stopped growing at 6 weeks. I have been told over the last 3 weeks and u/s that we may have been doing the u/s too early and that we needed to give the baby time to grow. Last week there was a heartbeat at 100bmp and today nothing. The doctor told me that I would need to have a d&c this week. I am scheduled for Friday. It is certainly surreal, but I am certain that it is easier then waiting for the cramping and bleeding to start. Good luck with your decision and just know that there is no right or wrong answer. You need to do what will be best for you.
I to had a miscarriage at 10 wks. It was a missed miscarriage I never had any bleeding or anything just went in for ultrasound and no baby was found at all it disappeared. I had one at 6 wks and saw and heard babies heartbeat, it was awful. I had a d&c my doctor also recommended said it could take me over a month to miscarry on my own and it could be painful and bad. I was glad I went with the d&c I just couldnt wait and wanted it over with.

Proud mother to a happy, healthy 10 month old boy!
My situation was very similar to purdino's. I wanted to wait to m/c naturally but a week after confirming the h/b had stopped. I had a d&c 1 1/2 weeks after confirming u/s and was so thankful to put the whole physical part behind me. I wanted to m/c naturally but was ready for the d&c once I decided the natural way was going to take way too long.
Good luck. I am so sorry for your loss and that you are having to make these decisions.

Sorry to hear about your loss...it's such a difficult time.
I just had my D&C today - I decided to go that route because I had been bleeding since last Wed and had experienced pretty intense cramping already. I didn't want to experience more of that. I was ready to have it all be over with.
I reported to the hospital at 9:00 am today. They hooked me up to an IV and the electrode things (that monitor your vitals during the procedure) and asked me tons of questions. The doc came in to talk with me and by 10:45 I was wheeled into surgery. They put something in my IV to relax me (I was shivering and shaking - it was so cold in the room and I was really nervous) which helped a lot and then told me to breathe in oxygen. Next thing I knew I was in the recovery room. I was really afraid to be put under - I had a c-section before with an epidural but no other surgeries, but it was fine. They put me in post-op for a while - I had something to drink and some toast, they made sure I peed, and then I got to go home around 2:00. I've been taking over the counter ibuprofen for a headache but have had no cramps. I feel pretty good. I'm still bleeding but it's much less.
Once I decided to do the D&C, the decision just felt right. Plus I had the support of my husband and parents (I'm really close to them). It was the right decision for me and I felt that in my gut. So think carefully and make sure it feels right to you. There's nothing wrong with either decision, it's just what's best for you.
Good luck - let us know what you decide. It's a tough decision but hopefully we'll all be able to move past this. It is nice to have the support of this board - everyone is so great here.

Mom to Lydia 4/23/07 and Evan 11/2/09
I am very sorry to hear about your loss. I miscarried the first time at 10 weeks in Sept. I had started spotting, so I went in to the ER to check. My dr. had them do an u/s and that was when I found out that the baby had stopped growing at 6 weeks. A couple of days later I miscarried naturally. I had some pretty strong cramps that felt similar to my labor contractions with my son. At my follow up check up at the dr's office, I had the option of having a D&C because I still had tissue & blood in my uterus. I chose to have the D&C because I just wanted it over with. I was so heartbroken to realize that my body had tricked me for nearly 4 weeks.
I just miscarried again on Friday. This time I do not have to have a D&C. At my check up on Monday, the u/s showed that my uterus was empty.
I'll be honest, thinking about having surgery and going under was extremely scary for me, especially since I have a 16 mth old son. But I chose it for my mental health.
Good luck with whatever you choose.
My story is also similar - went in for 10.5 week check expecting everything to be perfect. Ultrasound showed two sacs but one baby. Baby would give a little jerk motion every few seconds, but no heartbeat and was too small. Hcg numbers dropped and I was told the miscarriage was inevitable. I was offered a D & C, wait it out naturally, or use the pills (cytotec). I chose the pills because I didn't want the procedure, but I was also afraid of how long the mc might take to get started on its own. The pills were inserted into my cervix and I went home to have the mc there. I went through a few hours of bad cramps - comparable to either a really bad period or mild labor contractions. I did start to bleed, but not very much. I passed one sac intact which was about the size of a plum. After that the cramps subsided and I had bleeding for a few days similar to a light period. I was actually worried that I didn't bleed enough and that maybe the m/c didn't complete itself so I had an ultrasound to make sure everything was gone.
This is a highly personal decision and only you will know what feels right. I liked that I was able to m/c in the privacy of my own home, and that I was able to keep and bury my baby - it was important for me to see that, and I've heard that sometimes you don't get to do that with a D & C, but I also understand that some people don't want to see anything. I do have one regret. I think I'll always wonder if things would have miraculously worked out if I hadn't induced the miscarriage with the pills. Sometimes I wish I would have let it occur naturally on God's timing rather than rushing it on my own, just to be certain that there was no way it would have survived. Still, I know the mental agony of waiting would have been torture of a different sort. No choice in this matter is easy.
I am so sorry that you are experiencing this. I hope you will find comfort in these discussion boards - they have been a tremendous help for me even when I'm just lurking.

Ex-soldier who killed Iraqi family hangs self
Credit: The Associated Press
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A medical examiner said Wednesday that a former soldier hanged himself at a federal prison where he was serving life sentences for raping and killing a teenage Iraqi girl and using a shotgun to slay her family.
Pima County, Ariz., Deputy Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Eric Peters said an autopsy completed Tuesday concluded that 28-year-old Steven Dale Green's cause of death was suicide by hanging. Prison officials found him in his cell Saturday at the federal penitentiary in Tucson.

Speaking at a discussion on December 21 last year, 70-year-old Zia had "expressed doubts" about the casualty figures of the 1971 liberation war.
Calling on the Prime Minister, Zia told Modi that there was no democracy in the country and stressed that to ensure "actual development" in Bangladesh, voices of the people must be heard.
Suspected BNP activists also torched some 18 vehicles across the country and attacked a government office.
Warrant for Zia's arrest should not put the brakes on dialogue in Bangladesh.
BNP said the shutdown would be effective throughout the country from 6 am (local time) on Sunday.
Unless BNP calls off agitation, owns up for the violence, talks seem unlikely.
The opposition has been demanding midterm elections since it boycotted the divisive polls last year.
"There has been no electricity since 2:37am (local time)…they have cut the line," an aide of Zia said.
However, Hasina's aides reacted sharply to the apparent snub, calling the behaviour "inhumane".
