The PhD in Health Policy, awarded by the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, is a collaborative program of six Harvard University faculties: the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Harvard Medical School, Harvard Business School, Harvard Law School, and Harvard Kennedy School. This degree is intended for students seeking teaching careers in institutes of higher learning and/or research careers in health policy. Joseph P. Newhouse, John D. MacArthur Professor of Health Policy and Management, is chair of the Committee on Higher Degrees in Health Policy that administers the program; Katherine Swartz, Professor of Health Economics and Policy, is director of graduate studies; Deborah Whitney is administrative director of the PhD Program in Health Policy and Jessica Livingston is assistant director of the PhD program in Health Policy.
Candidates for the PhD in health policy will generally be in residence for two years before undertaking qualifying examinations. Satisfactory completion of those examinations is a prerequisite for writing a dissertation. Students are strongly encouraged to remain in residence in the Cambridge area until they have passed the dissertation proposal orals. However, the program encourages students to remain in residence throughout the dissertation stage as well. Continuation of candidacy is contingent upon suitable progress and achievement during each academic year.
A distinguished undergraduate record, as well as excellent performance in any graduate work undertaken, is required for admission to the PhD Program in Health Policy. Preference will be given to applicants who have had either some relevant work experience or graduate work after completion of a bachelor's degree, although a previous graduate degree is not required. Scores from the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) or the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) that are five years old or less are required for all applicants. In addition, applicants whose native language is not English and who do not hold the equivalent of a US bachelor's degree from an institution at which English is the language of instruction must take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).
The PhD Program in Health Policy is particularly committed to increasing the diversity of its doctoral student population. Under-represented minority candidates, including students who self-identify as Black/African-American, Puerto Rican, Mexican American, Native American, or Native Pacific Islander are especially encouraged to apply.
Those wishing to apply to the MD program at Harvard Medical School, as well as to the PhD Program in Health Policy, must apply separately to each program and indicate in the application to the PhD Program that a concurrent application has been submitted to Harvard Medical School.
Similarly, applicants interested in the Coordinated JD/PhD program must apply to and be separately admitted to both Harvard Law School and the PhD Program in Health Policy before applying to the Coordinated JD/PhD Program. Applicants should indicate in the application to the PhD Program that a concurrent application has been submitted to Harvard Law School.
Applications must include: 1) a statement of purpose that indicates the concentration(s) and policy area(s) of interest; up to two areas of concentration may be specified; 2) three letters of recommendation, submitted online; 3) a curriculum vitae or resume; 4) official transcripts for all college/university degrees and courses; if applicant is enrolled in school while applying, send fall term grades when available; 5) GRE General Test or GMAT scores; GRE scores are preferred; 6) official TOEFL scores, if necessary.
The application deadline is in mid-December for matriculation in the following fall. The online application is available through the GSAS website.
Financial Aid
The department offers financial support for graduate study, based both on need and merit. For example, thanks to grants from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and the National Institute of Mental Health, the program can offer some traineeships to students who are US citizens or permanent residents of the US. As the program is committed to increasing the diversity of the doctoral student population, Harvard provides Graduate Prize Fellowships (tuition for five years in the program and a stipend for three years) to under-represented minority applicants, with financial need, who are admitted to the program. Applicants are encouraged to apply for external grants and fellowships whenever possible.
Degree Requirements
The PhD program has the following components:
- Two years (generally) of coursework, including a full-year Core course.
- Concentration in one academic discipline (decision sciences, economics, evaluative science and statistics, management, or political analysis) and specialization at the dissertation stage in one policy area (global health, healthcare services, mental health, or public health).
- Three one-term courses, chosen from three concentrations outside a student's field of concentration. The statistics requirement (noted below) may be used to satisfy one of the three requirements, except for students concentrating in evaluative science and statistics.
- Two one-term courses in statistics.
- One course in epidemiology.
- A weekly research seminar starting in the third year.
- Written general and concentration examinations following two years of coursework; the general examination also contains an oral component.
- A dissertation prospectus and oral examination.
- A dissertation based on original research and a dissertation defense
Students in the PhD in health policy program choose a concentration and meet specific curriculum requirements in one of the following five disciplines. For complete information on each concentration, including affiliated faculty and course requirements, please visit the program website.
Decision Sciences (Professor Milton C. Weinstein, chair). Decision sciences are the collection of quantitative techniques that are used for decision making at the individual and collective level. They include decision analysis, risk analysis, cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness analysis, decision modeling, and behavioral decision theory, as well as parts of operations research, microeconomics, statistical inference, management control, cognitive and social psychology, and computer science. The concentration in decision sciences prepares students for research careers that involve the application of these methods to health problems.
Economics (Professor Joseph P. Newhouse, chair). The concentration in economics focuses on the economic behavior of individuals; providers; insurers; and international, federal, state, and local governments and actors as their actions affect health and medical care. In addition to examining the literature on health economics, the training emphasizes microeconomic theory, econometrics, and interactions with other disciplines, including clinical medicine. The concentration prepares students for research and teaching careers as health economists.
Evaluative Science and Statistics (Professor Stephen B. Soumerai and Professor Alan M. Zaslavsky, co-chairs). Training in this concentration will enable students to study the effects of a wide range of policies and health services (e.g., health insurance, health-care quality improvement, clinical decision-making, drug policy, cost-containment, and socioeconomic factors) on behaviors, access, processes and quality of health care, health outcomes, or costs. Students in this concentration will develop proficiency in experimental and quasi-experimental research design, statistics, relevant social sciences, and other methodological approaches (e.g., epidemiology, program evaluation, qualitative methods, and survey design).
Management (Professor Robert S. Huckman and Associate Professor Sara J. Singer, co-chairs). The management concentration prepares students to do research on the managerial, operational, and strategic issues facing a wide range of organizations in the health care industry including: health care providers; pharmaceutical and biotechnology firms; device and technology companies; and private and public insurers. Students in this track examine how theories and concepts from fields such as technology and operations management, organizational behavior, organizational economics, and competitive strategy can be applied to and further developed for understanding health care organizations. Key research themes include: learning and process improvement; organizational structure and performance in health care delivery; managing R&D organizations; managing teams in clinical and research settings; information technology and the management of health care processes.
Political Analysis (Professor Robert J. Blendon, chair). This concentration is intended for students who wish to do research on the relationship between politics and health policy. Students will study theories of individual opinion formation, voting behavior, legislative organization, and interest group formation. In addition, students will examine the role of public opinion, interest groups, the media, and institutions in influencing health policy outcomes. The research methodologies most utilized in this track include survey research methods and quantitative statistical methods appropriate for large-scale databases.
Policy Areas
In addition to choosing a concentration, students specialize in one of four areas of policy interest:
Global Health. This policy area focuses on the economic determinants and consequences of health and health care in countries other than the US, especially less developed countries.
Health Care Services. This area is designed for students whose primary interests are access to health care, medical technology assessment, quality of health care, and the costs and financing of health care services.
Mental Health. This area is designed for students who wish to specialize in mental health policy, including the financing of services, the roles of public and private sectors, and the links between mental health and human services.
Public Health. This area is designed for students who are interested in policies directed at the rates of disease and injury in the population. Major topics include smoking behavior, control of alcohol abuse, mental health, traffic accidents, dietary and nutritional recommendations, occupational safety, gun control, control of infectious diseases including AIDS, and food and drug regulation.

The Connecticut Huskies played their fourth ever national championship game against the Kentucky Wildcats on April 7. The Huskies used to be one of the biggest near-miss programs in college basketball, yet that hasn't been the case in the last 15 years. In all but one Final Four appearance, Connecticut has been perfect -- and it was all but perfect again in a 60-54 win over Kentucky.
The Huskies never trailed in this national championship game, although they sweated a bit after taking a 30-15 lead. Despite being down, the Wildcats seemed to have the Huskies where they wanted them, since they rallied in their last four NCAA tournament victories. As per usual, a late first half flurry put Kentucky back in range, as Connecticut merely led by 35-31 at halftime after dominating the first 20 minutes.
The Wildcats looked poised to take the lead at any minute, like they did against the Wichita State Shockers, Louisville Cardinals, Michigan Wolverines and Wisconsin Badgers. But although the Huskies were ice cold to start the second half, they stayed ahead anyway.
Connecticut took advantage of Kentucky's missed opportunities to go back ahead by nine points, only to have the lead cut back down to one within minutes. However, thanks to clutch three-pointers by Shabazz Napier and Niels Giffey on the Huskies' next two possessions, the Wildcats never got that close again.
Without Aaron Harrison's usual late three-point heroics, Kentucky couldn't pull off another last-second miracle. Without anyone but James Young delivering for 40 minutes, Connecticut was bent but not broken. Most of all, the difference was made by 11 missed Wildcats free throws and a perfect 10-for-10 performance from the line by the Huskies.
This was Connecticut's first Final Four and national championship game without Jim Calhoun, who built the Huskies into a decorated power. But after Calhoun's retirement in 2012 and a one-year postseason ban for poor academics in 2013, successor and Connecticut alum Kevin Ollie had his work cut out for him -- even before being handed a No. 7 seed in this NCAA tournament.
Yet when the Huskies got to the big stage, they delivered for the fourth time, improving to 8-1 in their Final Four history. Aside from their 2009 semifinal loss to the Michigan State Spartans, the accompanying list showcases the otherwise perfect history of the Huskies in college basketball's final weekend.
Calhoun's first Final Four
1999 semifinals: Connecticut 64, Ohio State Buckeyes 58 -- After years of near misses, Jim Calhoun and the Huskies finally made it to the Final Four in 1999. They celebrated by holding off second half rallies from the upset minded Buckeyes, although the Huskies would be the underdogs soon enough.
Calhoun's first title
1999 national title game: Connecticut 77, Duke Blue Devils 74 -- The 33-2 Huskies were still considerable underdogs to the 37-1 Blue Devils. Yet it was finally Connecticut and Calhoun's time, as they held Duke back and entered the pantheon of college basketball.
Huskies stun Duke again
2004 semifinals: Connecticut 79, Duke 78 -- The Huskies first Final Four game in five years appeared to be one of vengeance for the Blue Devils, who dominated the game until there were under three minutes left. In an instant, Emeka Okafor and Connecticut pulled off a 12-0 run to steal a victory, as well as a national championship.
Huskies crowned again
2004 national title game: Connecticut 82, Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets 73 -- After shocking the Blue Devils at the end of the semifinals, the Huskies had no such need to sneak up on their next ACC opponent. The Yellow Jackets never stood a chance, as the final score was one of the more misleading for a national championship game.
Huskies' first Final Four win over Wildcats
2011 semifinals: Connecticut 56, Kentucky Wildcats 55 -- Shabazz Napier closed his Connecticut career by beating Kentucky in the Final Four, after beginning it the same way. In this case, Napier was an mere freshman who still had a clutch basket and free throws in the final minutes, as the Huskies won this defensive struggle over the Wildcats.
Kemba completes run
2011 national title game: Connecticut 53, Butler Bulldogs 41 -- Kemba Walker officially entered Connecticut and NCAA tournament legend, once the Huskies completed the unlikely run he led towards Calhoun's last national championship. However, little else about the actual title game was legendary in a good way.
Huskies upset Gators
2014 semifinals: Connecticut 63, Florida Gators 53 -- The seventh seeded Huskies pulled off their biggest Final Four upset to date, as Niels Giffey and company made the No. 1 ranked, unbeaten for four months Gators look hapless after an early 16-4 deficit.
Huskies handle Wildcats again
2014 national title game: Connecticut 60, Kentucky 54 -- The Huskies have now beaten the storied Wildcats in a national semifinal and title game, just like they did to the Blue Devils when their championship legacy began.

Yosemite's next batter, Tyler McIntyre, worked the count full. On the next pitch he drove a fastball high and deep to left. Pinch runner Carson Conti, who had wandered off third, raced back to tag up. The throw from the left fielder was perfect but Conti beat the tag. It was the first walk off victory for Yosemite this season.

The Panthers jumped out to a 3-1 lead in the first on three hits and one costly error off Badger starter Dillon Moran. The Panther's They held a 4-2 lead going into the sixth when Yosemite mounted a come back.
Eaton and Moran singled to start the rally. They both advanced on a wild pitch. A ground out by Diehl scored Eaton to make it 4-3 Union.
After a walk to Stewart Carlson, Barone singled to tie the game. The Badgers were unable to get the clutch hit the rest of the way.
Washington answered with two of their own in the bottom of the sixth. Three singles and a costly two out error pushed across two more runs to make it 6-4.
Yosemite almost pulled-off the win in the seventh.
With one out and a runner on first, Joey Woolsey doubled deep to left. Following a fly to center, Eaton walked to load the bases. Diehl worked the count full before going down swinging to end the game.
Eaton and Moran collected three hits each to lead the Badgers. Joey Woolsey had two hits including a double.
Moran went 5 2/3 innings allowing three earned runs in the loss.
Carlson is currently the No. 1 hitter in the NSL with a .421 average and leads the league with an on-base percentage of .470.
JV team swept
The Badger JV team dropped both its games to Union last week by the scores of 15-2 and 9-6.
Michael Silva and Dillon Lopez both went 2-4 with a RBI for the week. Also picking up hits last week were Mason Gaynor and Summit Pears.
Home Friday
Yosemite plays at 4 p.m. at home Friday against Kerman. The team's final home game, senior day, is 4 p.m., May 7 against Chowchilla. The team's three seniors, Dillon Moran, Grady Eaton, and Jensen Davis, will be honored, along with their parents, before the game.

Fresh Start
Saturday, May 04, 2013
As part of joining Sparkcoach (my 3 months free subscription as part of pre-ordering the spark solution), I have decided to write my first blog. I have also been reading a few other blogs lately and have been enjoying all the great ideas that people have!
As well as starting a few new things, I have also decided it was time for a fresh start. I am looking at doing a little bit each day, using the daily streaks idea to keep me motivated. A few of things that I am hoping to acheive:
- be more active each day (and definitely be more active while I watch some of my fave tv shows)
- keep up to date with all of my professional development reading requirements (I am a hospital pharmacist)
- start to tackle some of the jobs around the house that I have been putting off for a long time (e.g. scrapbooking projects, organising photos)
- keep the house in general just a little bit tidier (namely, putting away clothes, dishes, general clutter) and slowly get rid of some items that I don't need (to either charity or the bin)
Hopefully, by doing a little bit each day I will feel more motivated to keep going! I will also try to not let exercise slip to the bottom of my to do pile like I usually do.
If anyone else is doing anything similar, I would love to share tips and stories.
Wish me luck!

I think meeting up would be a great inspiration. Unfortunately I don't think I will be in Toowoomba for the Carnival weekend, but the flowers are still beautiful for a few weeks either side
I'm definitely interested if we can get a group of people to meet up, I'm sure there must be plenty more Sparkies in the area!

I think it would be great to have a bit of a SP Ralley catch up one day this year somewhere in SE Qld if there is enough interest, Is it something you would be interested in doing?
In Towoomba for the flowers would be a great excuse for me to finally get there at that time

Thanks for the support guys! Wunmura, you are a great inspiration. And I am amazed that it is such a small world...I currently live in Toowoomba, so it sounds like I'm not far from you. If you can get up early in the cold, windy mornings I have no excuses!
I also love your tip about standing and sitting while reading. Will definitely give it a try.

i can relate to much of what you wrote.
I first joined SP in December 2009 but did not really do much at all.
In March 2010 I said yes to working for a 3 month stint back where I used to prior to moving to Qld in late 2008.
I am still working interstate so my weeks consist of sitting at a desk for most of my 36 work hours - sitting in a car for just over an hour each week day to get to and from where i stay for the work week in NSW and then on Friday afternoons and Sunday or Monday sitting in a car for another 5-6 hours each way to spend my weekends at home in Qld.
I have started to stand and move around much more at work to get my activity level up. I park further from my destinations and walk briskly to them. I get up at 4.30 am to 5 am on a week day morning to fit in a Curves workout before work.
I try to make as much activity as I can around my domestic chores. And have tried to schedule in at least 1 of the jobs I have been avoiding each week.
To keep up with the reading for work (and personal research interests) and still get in some activity I have started to stand and sit at least 3 times a page - just to make sure I move. I have gotten better at doing it without loosing my place on the page.
So far the changes (and the counting food and fitness) has seen me drop 20 kilograms in the last 6 months.
I am loving the changes and am looking forward to each new goal along the journey to an as fit and healthy me as is possible for me to achieve.

VIDEO: Karting the Isle of Man
Okay, so it's a typical grainy YouTube clip, and even appears to be black and white on first blush, but sit back and enjoy it for what it is and you won't be disappointed. Take a blast around the Isle of Man on a go-kart. In the rain. As you'll discover, even with these minuscule motors, passing can be a chore. We don't have a lot of information about the event, but we do know that there is an Isle of Man Kart Racing Association (IOMKRA) if this looks like your kind of thing. Follow the jump to see a few minutes of this insane action that we swear aren't sped up.

When terrorists hijacked four American planes on September 11, 2001, it changed the way Americans would think and react forever.
One of those Americans was a young William "Kyle" Carpenter who, although born in Jackson, Mississippi, moved with his family to the tiny South Carolina town of Gilbert.
Carpenter, who was just eleven years-old on 9/11 grew up to become a United States Marine.
It was during a combat tour in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, in 2010, that Cpl. Carpenter nearly gave his life for fellow Marine, Lance Cpl. Nick Eufrazio. Carpenter threw himself on a live grenade to save the life of his battle buddy.
Although both Marines survived the incident, both were gravely injured. Carpenter spent more than two years in the hospital recovering from those injuries. He sacrificed his right eye, his teeth, and part of his jaw for the life of his fellow Marine.
For that act of selfless heroism, Cpl. Carpenter, now 24, will be awarded the Medal of Honor by Pres. Barack Obama on March 18.
Residents of Gilbert, S.C., pop. 500, will stand a little straighter, hold their flags a little higher, and smile a little wider, as their home town boy is given the national honor he so greatly deserves.

One more month?!?!
April 20th, 2011 by asamuels under Uncategorized. No Comments.
April 20 is not only my older brother's birthday, but marks the official one month countdown to graduation. That is the most exciting and terrifying thought all at the same time. Why do you ask, because this is my last graduation (until I decide to get three more masters degrees – jk) and I do not have a secured job to date. Either way, I'm also excited because I have accomplished a great deal in my 25 years and am happy about that. So … School's out for summer? No, school's out forever! It's really a bitter sweet time around campus; everyone is planning dinners and get togethers to get the most of our last month here. These two years aren't just marked with academics, but they are full of memories and friendships, a family of sorts. There's never really an official goodbye when it comes to good friends, but it always feels like it when there's a final activity such as graduation to remind you that you won't be spending everyday together anymore. I know I will be sad to leave school; I've made good friends and connections over the past two years. My first year was a bit more hectic for me, I was a bit shy and spent most of my time off campus, commuting from school to work to home, but this year has changed drastically and I'm glad to have gotten to know my classmates better. My advice to all those looking at Smith, be prepared to come to school for an MBA and leave with a family.

Craig Gangi super stylist for Garnier created the glam Grammy coif that highlighted Anna Kendrick's tres chic Azzaro dress at last night's Grammy awards show. Gangi says her created a slight edgy, modern look that complimented the dress.
How he did the do:
- Since Kendrick hair is naturally very curly and voluminous, so "I started by applying Garnier Fructis Style Curl Calm Down Anti-Frizz Cream to wet hair to tame the volume and eliminate frizz. He then blow-dried her hair very smooth.
- Next I lightly sprayed her hair with Garnier Fructis Style Sleek & Shine Blow Dry Perfector Straightening Balm to protect from heat and add shine. Then, I thermal set her hair and after letting cool down, brushed it out and tightly pulled it back to one side.
- After that I applied the tiniest drop of Garnier Fructis Style Sleek & Shine Sleek Finish 5-in-1 Serum Spray into his hands and smoothed over her hair for incredible shine. To complete the look, Garnier Fructis Style Extreme Control Anti-Humidity Hairspray was used to set the look and provide firm hold and repel moisture for a look that will last all-night
If you missed the show, you might like to watch the video to see the best and worse Grammy getups.

Real estate information resource firm Zillow (NASDAQ: Z) announced on Tuesday that it would now be hosting MSN Real Estate's search page, a report on Realtor.com's Inman News revealed.
Zillow inked the deal the same day with MSN and will be succeeding Realtor-owned Move Inc. Move Inc. (NASDAQ: MOVE) powered the site for over 10 years.
Inman News noted that Zillow also took over AOL Real Estate's search from Realtor.com in December 2013.
"Integrations like this are important for home sellers and real estate professionals who list their homes on Zillow because it helps them achieve maximum exposure at no additional cost," Zillow CEO Spencer Rascoff said of the deal.
Aside from Zillow.com, AOL Real Estate, and MSN Real Estate, Zillow's real estate database also caters to Yahoo Home and HGTV's FrontDoor.
The MSN deal will allow Zillow to expand its audience, according to the report. ComScore data showed that MSN Real Estate had 5.4 million unique hits during the month of May.
The report added that when the total number of MSN's Real Estate visitors is combined with Zillow's for the month of May, the sum generated more traffic for web sites powered by Zillow.
"63 percent of all visitors to a real estate site that month would have visited a site powered by Zillow. That's a jump of 5.8 percentage points, representing 59.2 million unique visitors," the report said.
Zillow offers a listings feed program for all sorts of home sellers—from agents to homeowners looking into selling their house—that pushes the listings to partner websites like Yahoo.
This program, and through Zillow's Partnership Platform, individual real estate entities to syndicate its client's listings and other marketing materials on Zillow.com and its partner sites.
Zillow's unique visits reached a whopping 76 million last March, according to Geek Wire.
In related news, companies like real estate marketing app creator RealBiz Media, Inc. (OTC: RBIZ) are also increasing their share of the market by creating disruptive video technologies that could to capture new business leads.
RealBiz's MicroVideo App Platform and its recently rolled out Nestbuilder Agent, for instance, have been able to tap new markets that are difficult to penetrate due to the fragmented nature of the real estate segment.
With improved customization capabilities, an intuitive analytics dashboard, and professional video creation, editing, rendering and syndication functionalities, RealBiz's solutions empower agents to market their listings all by themselves for a fraction of the cost.
RealBiz CEO Bill Kerby notes that market acceptance was so far positive for its products. Its MicroVideo Apps, for instance, are able to engage consumers for as long as 11 minutes, as compared to national websites, which are only able to hold consumers' attention for an average of three minutes.
Additionally, since launching in March, over 350,000 have signed up for Nestbuilder Agent.
RealBiz Media, Inc. is a real estate digital media and technology firm focused on developing proprietary video processing technologies for the real estate brokerage market.
The company's stocks traded at 0.17 on Tuesday, up by 13.33 percent from its previous close, based on latest market data.
Zillow's stocks meanwhile closed at 140.69, down by 1.57 percent.

SIGGRAPH High Points
Barbara Robertson
The good thing about SIGGRAPH in N. O. is that the people who went were the hard core - some of the most brilliant people in CG.
The good thing about SIGGRAPH in N. O. is that the people who went were the hard core - some of the most brilliant people in CG.
Loved that SIGGRAPH gave back to the community, integrated music & sound into the conference, and brought back scientific & data-driven art.
Realtime, it's all about realtime this year. And Evan Hirsch, as always, was at the hub.
Lots of stuff simmering around previs including efforts to subdivide and classify the process. Pay attention. Make sure artists benefit.
At SIGGRAPH: Belly laughed as Richard Chuang, Turner Witted, and Rodney Stock shared stories from wayback. You know who they are, don't you?
In NO: Listened to Grandpa Elliott with Kevin G. Clark (check his facebook), with CGW crew, and again with David Salesin, Ken Turkowski, and Rodney Stock.
At SIGGRAPH: Bumped into Chris Landreth while he was on the phone with Donna Cox and introduced him to the View's Maria Elena Gutierrez :-)
Favorite T-shirt: UP dogs. Hat: Pixar Teapot. Press reception: Luxology. Party: ILM at Tipitina. Reception: Disney R&D. Lunch: Jon Peddie.

text: Superstar stud/XXX director Rocco Siffredi presents Rocco's POV, his first movie for Buttman Magazine Choice. "We have an intimate video of Rocco alone with girls, capturing POV blow jobs and sex as only he can," explains John "Buttman" Stagliano himself. "Rocco has picked these girls to be alone with from the line-up of beauties he casts in his Evil Angel movies." In each of eight scenes, Rocco welcomes a young, Eastern European beauty to his office, then brings out her own sexuality — he's full of wonder at each girl's personal style as his dirty talking charm seduces them. In two sessions (Brandy Smile's and Zara's) the girls strip and masturbate; Kate Pearl ups the ante with a sloppy blow job, and the rest of the girls can't resist fucking. Some of the sex gets downright rough, with face-slapping, hair-pulling and choking. Rocco gets his big cock up the asses of incorrigible porn whore Aliz and slutty student Amabella, whose butthole gapes. The whole movie is decorated with dildos, fetishy touches like foot-jobs, and wet pussy-to-mouth and ass-to-mouth cocksucking. Carmen Rose, Logan, Kate and Aliz put their faces up the stud's ass for serious rim jobs. Small, muscle-toned Albertina looks androgynous with a dildo hanging from her crotch. Since Rocco's the only camera man, what we get are not so much "porn scenes," but a more uninhibited vibe, like real-life sexual encounters. And Rocco's POV-style shooting lets the viewer visually put himself in the place of the stud doing the fucking. Type: Split Scenes Movie Starring: Albertina, Aliz, Amabella, Brandy Smile, Carmen Rose, Rocco Siffredi Content: Anal, Big Tits, Cumshot, Deep throat, Foot, Hardcore, Natural tits, Oral, Pornstar, Petite, Toys Release Date: 2010

Scammer fears
Remittance firms beef up security
Staffers face intimidation
Daraine Luton, Senior Staff Reporter
REMITTANCE COMPANIES have made more than 270,000 reports of suspicious transactions to the Financial Investigations Division (FID) since the start of the year.
Leesa Kow, president of Jamaica Money Remitters Association, told The Gleaner that the cost for security as a response to scamming activities was significant.
"It is horrendous the financial burden as well as the burden on the human resources," Kow said as she argued that the lottery scam has been a significant weight on the backs of remittance companies.
"We have had to have in place huge numbers of teams to sit down and vet transactions; that's all they do. They look at the patterns of the transactions, they look for linkages between the transactions and where the transactions are coming from and where they are going," Kow said.
Under the law, financial institutions are required to report suspicious transactions to the FID.
FID head Justin Felice said during a Jamaica National-hosted anti-lottery scam forum on Wednesday that his team was hard-pressed to analyse the huge volumes of suspicious transactions, especially with human-resource constraints and the fact that the information has to be processed manually.
"This amount of data takes significant amount of analysis and I don't think we are getting the best intelligence out of this data as I think we could," Felice said.
In the meantime, the remittance providers are claiming they have been forced to increase their security budgets as a result of the dangerous nature of the lottery scam.
"They don't play when it comes to threatening the staff members," Kow told The Gleaner.
She continued: "I have heard stories from some of our members where the scammers will come and show our front-line staff members a picture of their husband or their spouse or their daughter to say, 'Mek sure you pay out my funds or else'."
Kow told The Gleaner that companies have been forced to put in place systems which scrutinise the transactions being made. She said those additional security measures to clamp down on the use of remittance companies for illegal activities have put staff in the firing line of scammers.
"In one of my locations, I have had to provide security for a supervisor, just moving from the location to the parking lot," Kow said.
She added: "We have had to provide security for staff members going to and from their communities. I have been told of instances from some of our members where they have had to relocate staff altogether because of the level of threat that has come against them."
scammers pervasive
Asked whether there is complicity between workers in the remittance companies and scammers, Kow said the scammers have become so pervasive that companies have had to put in measures to monitor staff to make sure they are not involved.
"If they get involved, sometimes it is under duress. When you come from a community where the people know you and know where you work, sometimes they are forced (to get involved) out of fear for their own lives," Kow said.
She has, however, said that whenever there are indications of complicity, remittance companies move very swiftly to cure the mischief.
In August, Western Union International ordered its operators in St James to close their businesses until they implement security measures capable of combating the multibillion-dollar lottery scamming industry.

Elli Fordyce: Dindi
Elli Fordyce (vocals)
Something Still Cool
Elli Fordyce (vocals),
Joe Magnarelli (flugelhorn), Harry Whitaker (piano), Mark Wade (bass), Joe Strasser (drums), Samuel Torres (percussion).
Composed by Antonio Carlos Jobim. English lyrics by Ray Gilbert.
Recorded: New York, April 1999; released 2007
Rating: 84/100 (learn more)
Music is mainly mind-reading; it's psychokinesis among musicians, their listeners and back again. An apt singer can transmit their thoughts, and one can almost see Elli's expressions as she sings this Jobim gem. "Dindi" may mean "little jewel," or it might be taken from the Dirindi Forest near Jobim's estate; it could also be about a beloved Yorkshire terrier. With this inspired performance, Elli could make one believe almost anything. Assimilate a clairvoyant flugelhorn solo and perceptive percussion with a telepathic trio and you've got what is unknown as musical sixth sense. It's more fact than hunch that Elli was singing to her dog "Minty" and the spirit of her "Dindi," but you'd swear she's sending it out to you.

This is a superb performance, one of my all time favorite jazz vocal tracks. Uniquely beautiful. Elli is one of the best. She and her group are right together. The whole album is terrific but Dindi is the great one. Joyce Myrus writer, long time jazz listener.

"Justice League": Exploring How Superman Returns (Again)
Comic Books, Film
Every day this month I'm going to feature the work of a great artist, only instead of me picking the artist to feature, they will be picked by their peers, fellow professional comic book artists who are picking out artists (from the past and present) who they think deserve special attention. Do note that most artists I asked about this gave me multiple answers and I picked out one choice out of a number of suggestions, so these are not definitive answers, like "Artist X likes Artist Y and he thinks all other Artists are terrible!" Here is an archive of the artists featured so far!
Today, we have the pick of Matt Haley, the nifty comic book artist who I just featured the other week in a Cool Comic Cover Gallery bit! You can check out Matt's website here (he's working as a director nowadays).
Matt's pick is Tim Hamilton.
Tim Hamilton's first major work was most likely drawing The Trouble With Girls with writers Gerard Jones and Will Jacobs for Marvel's Epic line of comics.
After The Trouble With Girls, Hamilton bounced around, doing fill-in work for DC and Marvel Comics (again working with Gerry Jones)…
Malibu's Ultraverse…
and a run on Dark Horse Comics' Catalyst: Agent of Change (part of Dark Horse's attempt at having their own line of superhero comics).
Since then, Hamilton's work has tended away from the colorful world of superheroes, and his darker, moody artwork really suits the stories he has been telling for, say, Boom! Studios, where he drew a Cthulhu Tales…
and a mini-series called Dominion…
Hamilton has a particular expertise at doing adaptation work. His adaptation of Treasure Island for Puffin Press was nothing short of brilliant…
And he's just about to release an adaptation of Fahrenheit 451.
Playboy has the exclusive rights to the preview pages, so I have nothing to show you on that book yet, but I'm fairly certain that it, too, will look cool.
Here's Tim's website.
Thanks to Matt for the pick!
Thanks so much for posting this and all the kind words.
I just wanted you to know that the first pages you show (from the Trouble with Girls Marvel mini series) was not drawn by me. I think Brett blevins did that. I'll send you some "Trouble" Pages by me if you want them.
But again, thanks to you and Matt Haley!
Tim Hamilton
Okay, I'm not insane! I was looking at those pages and thinking, "wow, this guy started off his career aping Blevins more than any artist ever aped another artist! (Then he suddenly got his own style later)" The actual Hamilton pages are beautiful! (as are the Blevins pages, of course)
Thanks so much for posting this and all the kind words.
I just wanted you to know that the first pages you show (from the Trouble with Girls Marvel mini series) was not drawn by me. I think Brett blevins did that. I'll send you some "Trouble" Pages by me if you want them.
It's really hilarious, I got up this morning and realized, "Wait a sec, there were TWO Trouble with Girls series – I hope I put up pages from the right #1″ and I went to check and saw I put up the wrong ones and I hoped I could take it out before it was too noticeable, and of course, you happened to already have seen it by then!
Hilarious (embarrassing for me, but still hilarious)!
This is the first time I've seen Hamilton's work, and — wow — I've been missing out.
Those are some superb pages. The Treasure Island excerpts, in particular, are absolute knockouts.
I'll have to check out Fahrenheit 451.
This is the first guy who I liked his black and white work more than the colored stuff.
Same here bad trotsky. A major improvement if you ask me. Now I'm really looking forward to the Fahrenheit 451. I love the original book.
Is it my imagination, that the cover of Ultraverse Hardcase # 18, is sporting the image of The Thing from Fantastic Four or what?
Nice art.
And as for a shameless plug:
Don't forget my strip (along with many many other amazing artists) on Activatecomix.com
No problem about the Trouble With Girls pages.
Those old comics are hard to find.
I used to really enjoy Hamilton's work on Trouble with Girls. I was away from comics for much of the early 90s so I missed his superhero work. Definitely interested by the Farenheit 451 adaptation (on of my favorite books).
This is my first time looking at Tim's art since those issues of Wonderman (and wow… that book actually made it past issue 12?). That is some gorgeous work, and I personally think it looks best in the black and white pages you posted.
Comics Should Be Good accepts review copies. Anything sent to us will (for better or for worse) end up reviewed on the blog. See where to send the review copies.

very young sons long before investigator Joe Lassiter does, but that

thriller that mixes science and faith in with its action. Lassiter's own
sister and beloved nephew are among the victims, who were all patients
at an Italian fertility clinic run by a doctor with some unusual ideas

order, and whether Lassiter can save one surviving woman and child from
their wrath, should take up a good part of your night. (amazon.com)
Foucalt's Pendulum, by Umberto Eco
Three Milan editors, who have spent much time rewriting crackpot

Tennant tries to shut the project down because of ethical
considerations, he is marked for death...Iles writes himself onto a high
wire that stretches over a dangerous fictional chasm as Tennant begins
to have narcoleptic seizures and see life through the eyes of Jesus
Christ...That this talented author makes it to the other side without
falling is testament to his ingenuity and intelligence... Readers

Age blather or window-dressed dogma will snap up this novel of
cutting-edge science. (Publishers Weekly)

These books are similar to the Da Vinci Code, but they have an action
The Confessor by Daniel Silva
Silva's "New York Times" bestseller--called "a shrewd, timely thriller
that opens the heart of the Vatican" by the "Chicago Tribune"--follows
Mossad agent Gabriel Allon to the Vatican as the new Pope vows to
uncover the truth about the church's response to the Holocaust.
(Catalog description)
Daughter of God by Lewis Perdue
The Vatican has lost its most closely held secret -- a secret whose
exposure could shatter the very foundations of Western religion, shift
world power and ignite religious violence the likes of which the world
has not seen for centuries. The secret? Irrefutable proof of a female
Messiah named Sophia. Born in the Holy Land in A.D. 310, Sophia was
known for performing healing miracles. Her divinity so threatened early
Christian dogma on the inferiority of women that she was executed while
still a girl by Church authorities. In the present, Zoe Ridgeway, an art
broker, visits Switzerland with her husband, Seth, where she expects to
purchase the estate of a German art collector. But before Zoe can
complete the transaction, she and Seth are drawn into a
thousand-year-old web of conspiracy, murder, and intrigue that begins
and ends with the mystery of Sophia -- and all the powerful forces who
seek to protect their patriarchies from a divinely feminine truth.
(Catalog description)
The Genesis Code by John Case
A doctor's confession to an Italian priest is so disturbing that the
priest refuses to absolve him, then closes his church and waits four
days for an audience with a cardinal in the Vatican. A few months later,
a woman and her young son are gruesomely murdered and their house set on
fire. The brother and main character, Joe Lassiter, is determined to
find out why. He's pleased that the man who did the killings is in
custody in the hospital, badly burned. Then the impossible happens: the
killer escapes. (Library Journal)
The Eighth Day by John Case
When part-time legal investigator and full-time artist Danny Cray gets a
chance to pick up some extra cash trying to trace the source of a smear
campaign against a mysterious European tycoon, he jumps at it eagerly.
But all is not as it seems in this taut, intricately plotted
thriller--except Danny, of course, who turns out to possess unexpected
resources of grit and brains. The action moves from Washington to Geneva
to that volatile area of Turkey where tribal politics, religion, and
corruption collide with explosive results. (Amazon.com)
If you liked Where Serpent's Lie, you might like these books and
Hard Fall by Ridley Pearson
FBI Agent Cam Daggett took the bombing of Flight 1023 personally--his
parents and son were on board. For two years he's been after the man
responsible. But all he has to go on is a name, and the knowledge that
he must be stopped before striking again. (Catalog Summary)
The Analyst by John Katzenbach
On the brink of a month-long August vacation, Dr. Frederick Starks, a
New York psychoanalyst, receives a mysterious, threatening letter. The
unknown tormentor then lethally begins demonstrating the potential of
his (or her) threats. In a race against time, Dr. Starks suddenly finds
himself at the mercy of a psychopath's revenge. (Catalog Summary)
Lie to Me by David Martin
When a madman breaks into her Washington mansion, killing her husband,
beautiful Mary Gaetan tells the police nothing of the intruder, claiming
her husband killed himself--an odd response that spurs Detective Teddy
Camel to find out the truth. (Novelist)

Josephine Tey re-creates one of history's most famous -- and vicious --
crimes in her classic bestselling novel. ... Inspector Alan Grant of

Wicked Uncle of history. Could such a sensitive, noble face actually
belong to one of the world's most heinous villains -- a venomous
hunchback who may have killed his brother's children to make his crown
secure? Or could Richard have been the victim, turned into a monster by
the usurpers of England's throne? Grant determines to find out once and
for all, with the help of the British Museum and an American scholar,
what kind of man Richard Plantagenet really was and who killed the
Little Princes in the Tower. The Daughter of Time is an ingeniously
plotted, beautifully written, and suspenseful tale, a supreme
achievement from one of mystery writing's most gifted masters.

but any work of art--an affront to Islam--is dangerous. "My Name is Red"
is a murder mystery played amidst the perils of religious repression.

If you're craving great food, the Hatch Cover Bar & Grill is here to satisfy. They are located in south Colorado Springs at 252 E. Cheyenne Mountain Blvd. behind UMB Bank. Their hours ar 11am-2am 7 days a week. It's a great place to unwind after work, catch the game, or throw a party. Hatch Cover provides a friendly, relaxing, laid back atmosphere. You can either sit inside, or outside on their patio. Their menu is very diverse.
You have six different 10" personal pizzas (no substitutions) to choose from. The one I think is, and should be their signature pizza is the Chili Cheese Dog ($9.99). If you love chili dogs. You will love this delicious creation. Shredded cheddar/jack cheese blankets the sliced hot dogs, and the house made red Texas chili. The chili alone is fantastic. It has the right blend of spices with a nice noticeable, but not overpowering zesty kick.
There's also a nice mix of Skins and Fries to munch on. The Chili Cheese Fries ($5.99) are excellent. My personal favorite is the Gravy Fries ($4.99). Haven't had these for years. Great to find a place that serves then, and knows how to do them right.
Another mouth-watering appetizer is their Crab Stuffed Mushrooms ($7.99). They are to-die-for!! Button mushrooms stuffed with crab, then topped with a garlic cream sauce. To compliment this dish, I highly recommend ordering a batch of their freshly made garlic bread for an additional $1.50.
Hatch Cover's burgers are some of the best in town. They half pound patties served with lettuce, onions, pickles, and tomatoes on request only. If you're on a special diet or a vegetarian, you can substitute a turkey burger, Boca burger, or chicken breast at no extra charge. Add an extra patty for $2.00 more. I love a good Mushroom Swiss burger ($8.19). The chef here knows how to prepare them properly. With sautéed mushrooms, Swiss cheese, and nothing else. The burgers are made from 100% Angus beef. Other excellent choices are the Frenchy's (sautéed mushrooms and onions with melted blue cheese crumbs) for $8.79. Then there's the Alamo (chili {Hatch green or Texas}, pepper jack cheese, and jalapeño) for $8.59.
As for the sandwiches, I suggest The Hatch Grinder ($8.99). It comes with hot salami, pepperoni, melted pepper jack, lettuce, tomato, red onions, pickles, and chipotle aioli served on a toasted hoagie roll. Your mouth will thank you for it. If you're really hungry, go for the Dagwood ($9.39). Most generous portions of roast beef covered in melted Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onions, pickles, and horseradish cream sauce. All on a toasted hoagie roll. If you come away from this sandwich hungry, that's your own fault, or you have one monster appetite.
Of course you can't go to a bar & grill without trying the wings. Hatch Cover offers their wings only one way, traditional bone-in. You can get them for fifty cents per wing all day, every day with ranch or blue cheese dip. They will run you $5.00 per order of 10 for dine-in. To-go cost you $7.99. The wings are tender, juicy, goodness. Choose you sauce; from BBQ, spicy BBQ, teriyaki, mild, medium, hot, and fire. And when they say fire, they mean FIRE!!! If it's too much for you be aware, there are no refunds. I tried a thimble size sample of the fire sauce. Two dips of my finger were enough for me. The after burn lasted a good five minutes. If you love hot and spicy, give it a try if you dare.
For dessert you an order a heavenly warm Chocolate Lava Cake ($4.19) with hot fudge in the middle. It wouldn't be a lava cake otherwise, topped with whipped cream and drizzled with chocolate syrup. Or try their Xango for $4.29. Its two slices of New York Style cheesecake wrapped in a tortilla and deep fried. Then rolled in cinnamon sugar, and covered with whipped cream, and chocolate syrup. Xango is pure decadence. It is sure to satisfy any sweet tooth.
You will not go thirsty here at Hatch Cover. You have over 40 different domestic and international beers to choose from. There's also a plenty of cocktails and shots as well. Play rock, paper, scissors with the bartender for half off drinks on Tuesdays after 4pm. If you prefer, they also off Pepsi products, Baylans Bottled Soda, Zing Teas, bottled water, Sioux City Sarsaparilla. And some choice non-alcoholic brews. You can click on the hyperlink above, and download the complete menu of food & drinks they have to offer. There is Karaoke every Wednesday, Friday, & Saturday from 9:30pm to close.

Shooting of Steven Simon puts road rage in spotlight
A shooting on Interstate-95 is shining a spotlight on road rage. The Martin County Sheriff's Office says the victim, Steven Simon, was shot by another driver fueled with road rage.
It happened Thursday night on Interstate 95 near the Stuart exit. Police say the victim remains in a medically induced coma at a local hospital.
The incident has a lot of people talking.
"You never know who's there, if they have a gun," says driver Cari Lynn Mojena, "I mean it's really scary."
Many drivers have experienced road rage firsthand from speeding to tailgating to people weaving in and out of traffic trying to get ahead.
"People get mad cause you're driving like 65, not going like 70 or 75 same as them," says driver Edwin Chavez, "That's the reason they get mad."
Experts say when you see an aggressive driver get away.
"Avoid the eye contact," says driving instructor Nancy Martinez, "Treat almost like a tailgating situation. Move over."
WPTV spoke to Nancy Martinez on Skype. She's a driving instructor at A Perfect Start Driving School in Fort Pierce. She says it doesn't take much to provoke someone.
"You share the road with selfish drivers," says Martinez, "The ones who say this is my lane."
She says pay attention.
"You make a right, they make a right," says Martinez, "That kind of stalking thing is still considered road rage."
There is a gofundme campaign online to raise money for Simon. So far people have donated nearly $1,000.

The Fellowship of the Ring
by J.R.R. Tolkien
The Fellowship of the Ring Good vs. Evil Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Book.Chapter.Paragraph) / (Prologue.Section.Paragraph)
Quote #1
At the time when this story begins the Bounders, as they were called, had been greatly increased. There were many reports and complaints of strange persons and creatures prowling about the borders, or over them: the first sign that all was not quite as it should be, and always had been except in tales and legends long ago. Few heeded the sign, and not even Bilbo had yet any notion of what it portended. (prologue.3.7)
At the start of The Fellowship of the Ring, we already know that the good people of Shire are under threat. The threat is so subtle that even they don't see it: "strange persons and creatures" have been trying to get into this peaceful and sheltered place. By portraying the threat to the Shire as a subtle one that we can see but the Shire's residents can't, Tolkien is increasing our suspense: what is heading towards the Shire? Why would the Shire be of particular interest to "strange persons and creatures"?
Quote #2
The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say. (1.1.121)
Bilbo sings this song as he sets out toward Rivendell in the first chapter of the novel. This song is notable because it foreshadows one of the major themes of the book. Bilbo's actions (picking up a magic ring in the goblin tunnels, sparing Gollum's life, leaving Bag End at eleventy-one) are all part of his individual experience – his Road, if you will. But these actions also have a huge effect on everything that goes on around him: the "larger way/Where many paths and errands meet." We have no way of judging what the ultimate effects of our deeds might be, good or bad. All we can do is "follow" the Road as best we can. This is why the cut-and-dried approach that the Hobbits take to morality is wrong: the world's events are so huge and complicated that we can't know for sure how our choices will effect the world around us. We have to do the best we can in the middle of uncertainty.
Quote #3
That name [Mordor] the Hobbits only knew in legends of the dark past, like a shadow in the background of their memories, but it was ominous and disquieting. It seemed that the evil power in Mirkwood had been driven out by the White Council only to reappear in greater strength in the old strongholds of Mordor. (1.2.10)
Even in the Shire, Frodo starts to get news that all is not well with the world. The Shire is sheltered, but not that sheltered. We like the way that Tolkien keeps establishing continuity with the events of The Hobbit: the reason that Gandalf is drawn away from Bilbo and his Dwarf friends at a key moment in their anti-dragon quest is that he is off with the White Council fighting the Necromancer in the South. Now, that dark force is re-establishing itself once more in "the old strongholds of Mordor." Tolkien's obsession with the timelines of his own stories gives us another reason to respect the whole universe of the Lord of the Rings: Tolkien always wants to get it right, not only morally but also in terms of continuity.
