Gainesville, FL - The No. 1 University of Florida volleyball team
will square off with 16th-seeded Purdue in the NCAA Regional Semifinals
on Friday at 6 p.m. ET live on Sun Sports. Here's a quick look at the
Gators heading into Friday's match-up:
● Florida has earned the program's first-ever No. 1 seed to the
NCAA Tournament.
● The Gators are 53-20 (.726) all-time in the NCAA Championship,
including a 52-19 (.733) mark under the direction of head coach Mary
● Including the 2010 season, UF has made 20 consecutive and 21
overall NCAA Championship appearances (1987, 1991-2010).
● The Gators have advanced to regional action in 19 of head coach
Mary Wise's 20 seasons and have reached the national semifinal seven
times in the last 19 years, the last coming in the 2003 season when
Florida finished as the NCAA runner-up.
● UF is 12-6 all-time in NCAA Regional Semifinal matches and 7-5
in Regional Finals.
● Florida players have earned 35 NCAA All-Region Team honors,
including five MVP selections. Elyse Cusack was named All-Gainesville
Region in 2009.
● The Gators served as hosts for NCAA First and Second Round
action for the 19th time in the last 20 years.
● Sixteen of Florida's 28 matches during the 2010 regular season
came against 2010 NCAA Tournament teams. The Gators recorded 15
regular-season wins against teams in the NCAA field.
● Florida was one of six Southeastern Conference teams to be
awarded a bid to the NCAA Tournament. Tennessee earned the No. 11
national seed, while Auburn, Kentucky, LSU and Ole Miss also made the
tournament field. That is one team shy of the SEC-record seven teams
that made the NCAA field in 2006.
● In addition to Florida's SEC foes making the NCAA Tournament,
seven other teams from the Gators' 2010 schedule qualified for the Big
Dance, including Albany, Colorado State, Florida State, Iowa State,
Nebraska, Penn State and Texas.
● The Gators have won 24 consecutive matches, dating back to a 3-2
win against then-No. 5 Texas on Sept. 11. It marks the eighth-longest
winning streak in program history and is the longest win streak since
the Gators won 36 straight matches in 2003.
● Florida extended the nation's longest streak of consecutive
25-win seasons to 20 on Nov. 19 when the Gators defeated Arkansas 3-1.
● The Gators became the first team in Southeastern Conference
history to post a 20-0 league record since a 20-match double round-robin
format was instituted prior to the 2006 season. It marked the 12th
perfect league season in school history and Florida's first since 2003.
● Florida has hit .300 or better as a team in 16 matches this
season, including .400 or better on five occasions. The Gators'
recorded a season-high .586 hitting efficiency in the team's NCAA
First Round win vs. South Carolina State, which marked the
second-highest hitting percentage in school history.
● The Gators have limited their opponents to under a .100 hitting
efficiency in nine instances in 2010. Florida held South Carolina State
to a -.042 hitting efficiency on Dec. 3. Just six foes have hit better
than .200 against the Gators this year and no opponent has hit .300 or
better vs. Florida.
● Florida has totaled double-figure blocks in 16 matches this
season, including seven of its last nine. The Gators' longest streak of
consecutive 10-plus block matches this season came from Sept. 11-Sept.
22, when Florida had double-figure blocks in four matches in a row. The
Gators' season-high in blocks came on Nov. 7 against Auburn with 17
rejections (a five-set match), while Florida had 15.0 blocks in a
three-set victory against South Carolina on Nov. 22 in Columbia.
● The Gators have out-blocked their opponents in 24 of 30 matches
this season and are a perfect 24-0 when winning the blocking battle.
Florida has out-blocked 12 consecutive opponents dating back to an Oct.
24 meeting with Kentucky.
● Florida has tallied double-figure service aces on two occasions
in 2010, including a season-high 12 aces against Arkansas on Oct. 3.
That match was powered by a career-high eight aces from junior
right-side/setter Kelly Muphy.
● The Gators are a perfect 4-0 this season in five-set matches,
including thrilling five-set victory against Florida State in the NCAA
Second Round.
● Kelly Murphy, the 2010 SEC Player of the Year, has charted seven
triple-doubles this season, including three in three-set matches. She
also has tallied 23 double-doubles this year, including double-dips in
15 of her last 17 matches.
● Murphy became just the 17th player in school history to reach
1,000 career kills. Murphy now has 1,004 career kills, which ranks 16th
all-time in school history, surpassing Jenni Keene (1994, 1996-98), who
tallied 1,000 kills during her Florida playing days.
● Murphy looks to become the ninth player in program history to
reach 2,000 career assists - an impressive feat considering she has
spent all but six matches of her collegiate career setting just three
rotations as part of the team's 6-2 offensive scheme. Murphy currently
has 1,962 career assists, which ranks ninth in school history in that
● Chanel Brown, a member of the SEC All-Freshman Team, has
recorded double-figure assists in each of the team's 30 matches this
season and has eclipsed the 20-assist mark in 13 contests. Brown's
season high in assists (35) came against Florida State on Dec. 4. She
has bested the 30-assist mark twice.
● Junior middle blocker Cassandra Anderson, who leads the SEC in
blocks per set with 1.28, has charted five or more blocks in 13 matches
this season and has led the Gators in blocks in 14 instances this year.
Anderson charted a career-high 12 blocks vs. Florida State on Dec. 4,
which marked the most blocks in an NCAA Tournament match in school
history. It also was the most blocks by a Florida player since former
Gator Kelsey Bowers totaled 11 blocks against Arizona State in the NCAA
Second Round on Dec. 1, 2006.
● Anderson is just the 18th player in school history to record 300
career blocks. Anderson has 340 total rejections, which ranks 16th
all-time in school history. She needs three more blocks to tie Nina
Foster for 13th place all-time in school history. Foster talled 343
blocks during her playing days from 1996-97.
● Senior outside hitter Callie Rivers, a 2010 All-SEC First Team
selection, has tallied double-figure kills in 10 matches this season,
including a career-high 21 kills at LSU on Nov. 21 in Baton Rouge.
● Junior outside hitter Kristy Jaeckel has totaled double-figure
kills 12 times in 2010, including four of her last seven matches.
Jaeckel ranks 14th all-time in school history in career attacks with
2,420. The school's all-time career attacks leader is Marcie Hampton
with 4,204 swings from 2004-07.
● Florida defeated South Carolina State, 3-0 (25-7, 25-10, 25-12)
to improve to 14-0 all-time in NCAA First Round matches.
● The win took 1 hour and two minutes, which tied for the second
shortest NCAA Tournament match in program history. It was second only to
the Gators' 55-minute postseason contest against Liberty on Dec. 2,
● Florida's .586 team hitting efficiency was the second-highest
hitting percentage in a single match in school history. The Gators'
school record for hitting percentage was a .603 clip that came against
Auburn on Sept. 28, 2003. Florida hit better than .550 in a single match
for just the fourth time in program history.
● The Gators broke their single-match NCAA Tournament
school-record hitting efficiency mark in a first-round match for the
third consecutive year.
● Florida improved to 8-0 all-time vs. members in the current
alignment of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference.
● Junior right-side/setter Kelly Murphy charted a team-high eight
kills on .700 hitting with 17 assists, two service aces and four digs
for a match-high 10.0 total points.
● Florida escaped the NCAA Second Round with a thrilling 3-2
(20-25, 25-22, 22-25, 25-21, 17-15) victory against Florida State to
improve to 18-2 all-time in NCAA Second Round matches.
● The match took 2 hours and 24 minutes, marking the longest NCAA
Tournament match in program history.
● Florida advanced to its 19th NCAA Regional Semifinal in the past
20 years.
● The Gators notched their 20th consecutive victory in the
all-time series with FSU.
● Florida improved to 113-20 all-time vs. in-state competition,
including a 64-2 mark vs. Sunshine State foes under the direction of
head coach Mary Wise.
● UF's 16.5 total blocks marked its fifth-most in an NCAA
Tournament match in school history.
● Junior right-side/setter Kelly Murphy eclipsed the 1,000-kill
plateau for her collegiate career, becoming just the 17th player in
program history to reach that milestone.
● Murphy finished with her seventh triple-double of the season and
her 22nd career triple-dip with a match-high 19 kills on .385 hitting
with 21 assists and 12 digs. She now has 1,004 career kills, which ranks
16th all-time in program history.
● Junior middle blocker Cassandra Anderson totaled a career-high
12 blocks in the match, which also was a Florida NCAA Tournament record.
It marked the most blocks by a UF player in a single match since former
Gator Kelsey Bowers totaled 11 blocks against Arizona State in the NCAA
Second Round on Dec. 1, 2006. It was the first time this season and the
third time in her career that Anderson tallied double-figure block
totals. She also came up with a career-high eight digs in the contest.
● Senior outside hitter Callie Rivers, who struggled offensively,
posted a career-high 18 digs. She also charted a career-high seven
blocks to finish with 13.5 total points.
● Freshman setter Chanel Brown dished out a career-high 35
assists, bettering her previous personal record of 31 set against
Nebraska on Aug. 29, 2010, and marking the second time in her career
that she has eclipsed the 30-assist plateau.
● Senior libero Erin Fleming posted a team-high 20 digs, marking
the fifth time this season that she has recorded 20 or more digs in a
single match.
● Junior outside hitter Kristy Jaeckel finished with 18 kills and
12 digs for 19.5 total points, marking her third double-double of the
season and the 15th double-dip of her career. She had the final two
kills in the match to give Florida a 17-15 fifth-set victory.
● Senior middle blocker Lauren Bledsoe hit .391 in the match,
marking her ninth consecutive contest hitting better than .300.

In the mid 70's I stumbled into the local hobby shop and a game called Richthofen's war caught my eye. Back then AH was the Cadillac of cardboard war games. As we played one we'd save a few bucs and purchase another off the shelf. Tactics II, AK, PB. But, one day by luck I bought a new game called Squad Leader. The box said it does for infantry what Panzer Blitz did for armor. I was hooked. Thankfully back then us kids (so long ago) didn't sit in front of video games, so FTF players were quite abundant. Since the late 70's SL/ASL was the standard of all games we played. Fast forward 30 years, I have that same problem most of us have. "Too many games. Too little time" For a good while there were a few of us in the Pittsburgh area that ASLed it often. However as with anything it gets old after a long time of solely playing it, and new titles were far and few between. About 2003 I dabbled into the ATS series of games. Though ATS had a better impulse movement system and a much superior armor Vs. armor system, it was never less just a semi lite ASL. Being a fan of PB/PL way back I gave PG a Look about that same time (2003ish) Production errors and rules nightmares seemed to have plagued this series. I always liked the naval games from AP so I figured that PG would be worth a shot. I picked up my first PG title "Desert Rats" in a bundle deal when purchasing a naval game from AP. At first look it had all the candy of a winner. Great counter art, tons of scenarios, and even Italian colonials. However the rules at that time was a killer to me. When AP released the 3rd ed. rules, I gave it another look. Though not perfect by any means the 3rd ed. rules cleaned up all the "Killer issues" I had. Since then I started filling the PG series in on my book shelf.
Now to compare ASL to PG is as comparing apples to basket-balls. Both are similar as in you must break up the opponents force via morale rather than out-right killing. Both function as games where leaders play a key role. Both are set during WWII. That's where the similarities end.
The scales are vastly different. An ASL scenario would be played in an area of maybe 5 PG hexes and in a time frame of one or two PG turns. In ASL firepower and maneuvering to effectively break the morale of the enemy force is one of the prime tactics of ASL. In PG the prime tactics are more of maneuvering over a large area while being countered by your opponent. Combat is very much slow paced as are results in shoot outs, as they should be at that scale. The key tactics in PG revolve around maneuvering while countering your enemy, deciding where to overwhelm any weakness or objective, and using bombardment to soften up objectives via demoralizing enemies. Then the key choice of PG. Where and when to I close for assault?. Timing is nine tenths of success in PG. Though scenario balance is not near as good as ASL, no scenario plays the same twice. There are more random elements to PG than ASL. Be it random events or your leader force pool.
For what it's worth I really do enjoy PG. Is it as perfect as ASL? No. Has it improved over its run? Yes. Remember ASL has been a work of art for 30 years. PG only has 8 under it's belt.
More random as what leaders you have.
Lower complexity results in more playability.
Company support for new titles 2 boxed a year plus many supplements.
Fast play using initiative and leader activations (always something to do).
Refined system with years of production.
Complete and comprehensive rules.
Detailed combat, leadership, and morale system.
Ability to play any situation anywhere during WWII.
Infant system with some rules contradictions.
Not best suited for urban warfare.
Map art not clearly hex identified. (But, improving)
Rules rules rules. There's a rule for everything. Game at times bogs down as you thumb pages of rules.
It's done it all. Though I look forward to new titles.
Ugo Igo. Non impulse movement.
In conclusion, it's hardly fair to compare both titles. ASL is a vastly superior game as far as neatness of the system (30 years at it). But, is it superior in playability and fun? I'll leave that to Yuinz (Pittsburghese for "You all") to decide. I myself would give PG the edge in funness, when you want to push cardboard around, and play out a large engagement in one afternoon. By no means have I shelved ASL completely. Every once and a while it's good to FTF it still.
Blaze, good post.
I love ASL and play it weekly if not a few times a week. My one problem is that large fights take a very long time to complete. I also get frustrated by the HASL rules convoluted on top of the core and earlier HASL/CG rules. But that can be overcome.
Because of my inability to get large ASL "battle" completed I stick to the small to medium "firefight" type scenarios where I think ASL really shines if the scenario is designed well. So I searched for on the tactical game on the "PB" scale to be able to fight fuller, "brigade level" actions. I had a love/hate relation with PG at first and shelved it a few times because of poorly written rules, poor scenario design and I couldn't really wrap my head arounfd the impulse system. But i kept giving it a try and have come back to it and it is now my "platoon level" game system of choice. but i still don't seem to have enough time to "get into it."
I would not agree to calling ASL's igo/ugo system a con. It is just different than impulse (albeit more of the standard). The one thing i thinnk ASL did successfully is make a very interactive igo/ugo system work that keeps both players engaged.
Impulse move/fire systems are not really anymore than micro igo/ugo anyhow in my mind so I'm not sure they "solve" anything. However, PG seems to make it work well in that one has to plan out activation/move/fire sequences and be ready to react to the enemy's actions as well and this makes for neat gameplay. But it did take me awhile to grasp that.
Good discussion....
The tank is not afraid of the gun; it is afraid of the concealed gun." Lt. Gen. Martel, British Army
But I agree that none of the straight impulse-move systems I've seen really seemed to solve the problem. I keep trying to imagine a system that uses impulses but still preserves ASL's MPh/DFPh interactivity.
There's actually a game which sort of does what I'm thinking of, which is Conflict of Heroes. I've only played it once so far, but I think the way it worked is:
- Units are activated in impulses of one unit, or one command unit and those it can command. Each unit can be activated once per turn.
- Each activated unit gets 7 Action Points. You spend them to move (1 for clear, more for difficult terrain), to shoot (different costs for different units, allowing some to shoot multiple times per turn), and for special actions.
- You also get some command-level APs, which can be used to interrupt an enemy's action or to supplement a friendly action.
- A unit that has not been activated can also interrupt, but that counts as its full activation for the turn... and because it's only spending one action instead of 7 APs, that's usually an inefficient way to use your units.
The basic idea seemed to have a lot of potential, but playing the 1941 Russians, it didn't feel real at all compared to ASL's MPh/DFPh mechanics. Because the Russians got very few command APs, most of the time if one of their units was outnumbered 2 to 1, it was simply screwed. It could use its entire activation to shoot at one enemy, but the other would just waltz up adjacent to it and blow it away.
But again, that was with one playing, so there may be plenty of tricks we didn't catch on to.

I think the Ugo/Igo in ASL is a con myself. Not to take away from one of my favorite game systems of all time. It's just after playing it for so long you get into all the gaminess of Ugo/Igo. I always called it Rubik's Cube tactics. Move death stacks up, fire, kill, and advance away. Not that that's a bad thing, it's just stale to me. John, ATS has impulse movement. But, ATS isn't bend and break the opponent. It's kill kill kill. Not a bad thing, but not mu cup of tea. So ASL is still the best of the squad level games out there. PG has my vote for the best of the platoon levels. Though the Gamers have had a few neat titles at the level as well.
Impulse movement for PG may be misleading. It's rather more or less, "Activation" movement. Careful planning and set up makes it so you could actually activate all you have, through leadership subordination.
What is going to be interesting to see is the new WWII platoon level game by Lock n Load based on the WaW: EG system. I've playe Waw:Eg and the system is very interesting, no combat charts it used a die roll hit and armor saving roll concept. Plays real fast.

And this concept is neat in that you have to take the time to get units into postion and organized for the attack. This is just like the reality concept of moving into an attack position and doing the last minute things to get ready to launch the attack. Then there is the enemy trying to muck this all up.Careful planning and set up makes it so you could actually activate all you have, through leadership subordination.

"Then there is the enemy trying to muck this all up"
Yeah. My son and his ungodly lucky rolls with OBA.
>I do think ASL's form of igo/ugo is a con.
Not me. I think it's a huge plus. I love the system, especially the Defensive Fire principles. You can't leave the table in ASL, because there's too much going on.
PG fills a void for me, because it allows for bigger battles. I just don't have time for HASL CGs any more. PG is not perfect, but there is a lot there that is enjoyable and there are enough modules to keep the 'must have variety' part of me happy.
Now we just need another PTO module or two.

Arctic Finds Make Case for Northern Norway Oil Hub, Lundin Says
From Bloomberg
By Mikael Holter
Recent oil discoveries in Norway's Arctic Barents Sea, including one by Lundin Petroleum AB (LUPE), have made the case for the construction of billions of dollars of export infrastructure, the Swedish oil explorer said.
"These discoveries alone are sufficient to be able to justify infrastructure starting to develop," Lundin's Chief Executive Officer Ashley Heppenstall said at a presentation in Oslo today. "Don't ask me how or when but it's coming."
Stockholm-based Lundin, together with Austria's OMV AG (OMV), made finds containing as much as 300 million barrels of oil in the Barents region last year. That helped revive optimism in the region after Statoil ASA (STL) shelved plans to build a $15 billion oil hub there for its Johan Castberg project because of rising costs and higher taxes.

Because of the impending shortage of domestic engineers, and also to address the shortages of women and minorities in engineering, we've started a formal program to involve high school students, as well as their teachers, in learning about what engineering is. We've partnered with the Battelle Engineering Experience (B2e) program and the College of Engineering Outreach Office.
We've also been developing hands-on projects that can be done by high school students. One example that they can complete in a little over an hour is an LED circuit that lights up their initials. The students consider engineering tradeoffs such as high brightness v. battery life, and this circuit is very easy to debug, making it a satisfying experience. More on our outreach efforts.
While on campus, a tour of the department's High Voltage Laboratory was given to the visiting AEP executives.

Pompey are still waiting to find out if they are able to go into administration as they may still go into liquidation and be wound up. Therefore no points can be deducted yet. The Inland Revenue are worried as they will be far down on the list of people to get paid if Pompey to go into administration and are challenging the voluntary administration. Is that clear, perhaps not, but nothing is in this saga!

GLENDALE, Ariz. - Brian Boucher had another brilliant game in goal for the Phoenix Coyotes. No shutout this time, though.
One of the NHL's most remarkable streaks ended in the Coyotes' 1-1 tie with the Atlanta Thrashers on Sunday night. After Boucher had made 146 consecutive saves, Randy Robitaille's slap shot glanced off Phoenix defenseman David Tanabe's chest and into the net 6:16 into the game.
The goal ended Boucher's string of five consecutive shutouts. He went 332 minutes, 1 second - 5 1/2 hours - without allowing a goal. Both are modern-day NHL records.
"I'm sure there are 60 goalies around the league tipping their hat to him because it's very impressive," Atlanta goalie Byron Dafoe said. "I don't think that's going to be broken definitely in my lifetime."
Dafoe made 40 saves as the Coyotes outshot the Thrashers 41-21.
"We threw everything at Byron Dafoe tonight and he was terrific," Boucher said. "We should have come out with two points, and he was the only reason we didn't."
Atlanta had lost six in a row and was concluding a four-game road trip.
"We played (Saturday) so the guys were a little weary in the third period," coach Bob Hartley said, "and we did a good job just holding on at least for one point."
The old records of 309:21 and four consecutive shutouts were set by Montreal's Bill Durnan in 1949.
"That's a huge accomplishment in any sport," Phoenix captain Shane Doan said. "It ranks up there with some amazing streaks."
Boucher was relieved, not disappointed.
"I was prepared for it to end," he said. "I knew it was going to end at some point. It was kind of a flukey goal, but no big deal. I told myself that when it does happen, just stop the next one."
The deflection left no time for Boucher to make the save.
"I don't think it would have hit the net if it didn't hit me," Tanabe said. "If it wasn't for that bounce, he could have had another shutout."
Phoenix coach Bob Francis thought it was a fitting end to the streak.
"He was in such a zone right now, you knew it was going to be a broken play," Francis said.
Daymond Langkow intercepted Garnet Exelby's clearing pass and scored an unassisted goal to tie it 1-1 at 6:21 of the third period as Atlanta's winless streak reached seven games and Phoenix's unbeaten string was extended to six.
Boucher had 20 saves, including two incredible stops of shots by Ilya Kovalchuk, a left-handed stab in the third period, and a sprawling, diving block of a point-blank shot at 2:19 of overtime.
Boucher, usually the backup to Sean Burke, began with a 4-0 home victory over Los Angeles on New Year's Eve, then followed with road victories over Dallas (6-0), Carolina (3-0), Washington (3-0) and Minnesota.
NHL officials didn't figure out who should get Atlanta's goal until the start of the third period, initially saying Robitaille's shot glanced off the stick of Atlanta's Randy Petrovicky.
The Coyotes were short-handed after Fredrik Sjorstrom was called for goalie interference 52 seconds before the goal.
After the score, the sold-out crowd at the Coyotes' new Glendale Arena stood and cheered Boucher's record feat. Play stopped and Phoenix's bench emptied, as the players congratulated the goalie while the big screen showed highlights of the streak.
"It's kind of different to come out on the ice after they score," Doan said. "But obviously it's exciting and it's something you'll never, ever experience again."
Boucher had slipped to third on the Coyotes' goaltending depth chart and could've been claimed by waivers by any other NHL team earlier this season. Before backup former Augusta Lynx goaltender Zac Bierk hurt his groin in November, Boucher wasn't even practicing with the team.

Charges vary widely between local hospitals, new data show
Published: Wednesday, May 8, 2013 at 7:01 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 8, 2013 at 7:01 p.m.
Got a pending hip replacement or a date with a pacemaker? For the first time, soon-to-be patients will be able to do some comparison shopping to find the best deals.
Here are some sample charges at local hospitals, according to a new federal report:
Major small and large bowel surgery, with complications
Sarasota Memorial: $88,838
Manatee Memorial: $136,563
Doctors Hospital of Sarasota: $138,822
Venice Regional: $146,620
Blake Medical Center: $162,110
Chest pains
Sarasota Memorial: $13,521
Venice Regional: $15,279
Manatee Memorial: $15,488
Blake Medical Center: $20,738
Doctors Hospital of Sarasota: $27,685
Cardiac pacemaker implant
Blake Medical Center: $50,359
Sarasota Memorial: $52,006
Lakewood Ranch Medical Center: $72,438
Manatee Memorial: $72,800
Venice Regional: $89,003

The cost for common hospital procedures and treatments has long been an industry secret, and data released for the first time Wednesday by the federal government show why. Even officials at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services expressed shock at the inexplicable price swings for identical services at neighboring hospitals.
Overall, nonprofit facilities such as Sarasota Memorial Hospital consistently had the best prices, while for-profits operated by health care giants such as Hospital Corporation of America and Universal Health Services charged significantly more.
For example, paying full price for a joint replacement at Sarasota Memorial costs $48,879, compared to $81,000 at UHS' Manatee Memorial Hospital 14 miles away.
That same surgery costs from $5,300 at a hospital in Ada, Okla., up to $223,000 at one in Monterey Park, Calif.
Jonathan Blum, acting principal deputy administrator for CMS, said the federal agency was "struck and surprised" by the widely varying charges. He said it is crucial that patients have the ability to check them out.
The agency has "a mission and a goal" under the health care reform law — the Affordable Care Act — "to make the marketplace more transparent," Blum said in a Wednesday conference call with reporters about the cost information released. "Consumers don't always have the data to make choices."
However, only a few patients pay the full "street price."
The people who can least afford it — those with little or no insurance — get hit with the highest hospital bills that may bear little connection to the actual cost of treatment, health care advocates say.
"If you're uninsured, they're going to ask you to pay," said Gerard Anderson, the director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Hospital Finance and Management.
The data lists bills submitted to Medicare in 2011 from 3,300 hospitals for the 100 most common treatments and procedures, such as diabetes care, heart operations and gallbladder removal.
Most likely to pay full price are patients who have assets but no health insurance coverage. According to the American Community Survey of 2012, the latest available census data, 16.4 percent of Sarasota County residents lacked insurance in 2011, along with 20.2 percent in Manatee County and 16.9 percent in Charlotte.
Among people with jobs, the share of uninsured residents was much higher: 25.8 percent in Sarasota, 29.6 percent in Manatee and 27.5 percent in Charlotte.
Also vulnerable to higher hospital charges are patients with high-deductible insurance policies requiring them to pay thousands out of pocket before coverage kicks in.
Health care providers in Sarasota and Manatee counties report an increase in both kinds of self-pay patients in recent years.
Some hospitals said they charged more because they are teaching hospitals or treat sicker patients.
Blum said that does not wash.
"The data doesn't support this," he said.
Medicare does pay slightly higher rates to teaching facilities or hospitals in areas with high labor costs. But there was little variance in what Medicare paid hospitals locally.
At Sarasota Memorial, patients who qualify for the hospital's charity care usually pay nothing, according to spokeswoman Kim Savage.
"Self-pay patients who do not qualify for financial assistance, those with moderate to higher income and assets, still qualify for, at a minimum, a 50 percent discount," she said.
Melissa Morgan, spokeswoman for Doctors Hospital of Sarasota, one of the priciest local facilities based on the price list, said most people do not pay full price there, either. Most are covered by private or public insurance.
"Everyone else is eligible for our charity care program or they receive our uninsured discounts, which are similar to the discounts a private insurance plan gets," she said.
Most private insurance companies negotiate with hospitals over how much they will pay, and rarely are consumers charged the difference. According to CMS, if hospitals start with the higher sticker price in negotiations, patients could end up paying more.
Medicare, the federal health insurance plan for those 65 and older, does not pay the full price, either.
Typically, the amount Medicare sets as a "fair price" is substantially less than hospitals charge.
For example, Lakewood Ranch Medical Center, also owned by UHS, charges $16,523 for treatment of simple pneumonia without complications. Medicare authorizes payment of $3,767. The same malady would be treated at Fawcett Memorial Hospital in Charlotte County, a for-profit run by HCA, for $31,589 and reimbursed by Medicare at $3,955.
CMS spokesman Brian Cook said what hospitals ask is typically about five or six times what Medicare pays.
"People need to ask 'What is an appropriate charge? Why are there differences?' " he said, during the conference call.
Seasonal residents can use the data to compare the cost of care here and back home.
For example, the same joint replacement topping out at $48,879 at Sarasota Memorial would cost more than twice that — $101,945 — at a hospital in Rahway, N.J.
The debate over medical costs is growing louder, spurred partly by President Barack Obama's health care overhaul.
Hospitals in particular have come under scrutiny for charges that are widely viewed as difficult to comprehend, even for experts.
Most of the negotiations over price have occurred out of the public eye.
Caroline Steinberg, vice president for trends analysis with trade group American Hospital Association, says a cat-and-mouse game takes place between hospitals and insurers.
As insurers demand bigger discounts from a hospital, a facility may boost its prices to protect its bottom line, she said.
"The hospital raises its rate to cover the discount," said Steinberg.
Until now, the hospitals' "chargemaster," the list of prices, has been kept under wraps.
Anderson said the huge premiums at some hospitals make no sense.
"If you're charging 10 percent more or 20 percent more than what it costs to deliver the service, that's an acceptable profit margin," Anderson said. "Charging 400 percent more than what it costs has no rational basis in it at all."

The teachings of Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Lyady (1745-1813-) have had a major impact on Jewish life throughout the world. The founder of the Hasidic dynasty known as Lubavitch, Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Lyady's approach has come to be known as Habad, an acronym of the initials for the Hebrew words Hokhmah, Binah, and Da'at, wisdom, understanding and knowledge. In this groundbreaking book, Roman A. Foxbrunner, a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Harvard University Center for Jewish Studies, has written the first full-length critical study in English of one of the most significant thinkers in the broad span of Jewish history. Basing his work on all of the writings of Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Lyady, Foxbrunner systematically presents the major ideas that this Hasidic master offered to his followers and provides the reader with an in-depth look at the theological, philosophical, religious and ethical concepts underlying the particular approach that has become known as Habad Hasidism. Foxbrunner is particularly concerned in this study with the sources of Rabbi Shneur Zalman's teachings and the criteria he uses in his system of values. Since it is well known that Rabbi Shneur Zalman was a devoted student of the Maggid of Mezhirech, who in turn was the spiritual heir to the Hasidism of the Baal Shem Tov, Foxbrunner pays particular attention to Rabbi Shneur Zalman's teachings as an outgrowth of the thought of his predecessors. In addition, Foxbrunner is concerned with these three questions: What were Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Lyady's criteria for religioethical perfection? What did he want his followers to believe, know, feel and do in order to aspire to that perfection? What were the attitudes and values he sought to inculcate with this end in mine? Hasidism evokes heated controversy among scholars trying to analyze the movement and its significance. Foxbrunner makes great strides in increasing understanding of this major force in Jewish life through a careful, thorough examination of the work of Shneur Zalman of Lyady.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution Review
Eidos Lied, But All Is Forgiven In A Well-Augmented Conspiracy
by exterminat
©2011 Nicholas Laborde
In the year 2000, conspiracies began to die down. Tensions were starting to ease after the Y2K computer crashing rumors subsided, and in a world pre-9/11 and post-Cold War, we had nothing to fear… or so it seemed.
That is, of course, until Deus Ex released and with it, a reminder to gamers far and wide that conspiracies are probably still all around us, later confirmed by real, unfortunate events that still shape our world today.
The brainchild of Warren Spector and Ion Storm, Deus Ex offered a successful blending of multiple genres executed in such a way that gamers had never seen before, instantly propelling itself into the annals of video game history as a true 'classic'.
Then, along rolls 2003 and Deus Ex: Invisible War trots onto store shelves everywhere… needless to say, we'd much rather forget about it.
Finally, we have arrived in August 2011, and Deus Ex: Human Revolution is here to augment your life and your very way of thinking.
Once again, conspiracies abound, and the truth will change you; the question is, are you ready to experience it?

Something remarkable has happened in the Antioch Unified School District over the last four years. A new educational model has taken hold in high schools and left Superintendent Don Gill marveling at what he's observed.
"We see kids participating and more engaged," he said. "They come to school more often. They get higher grades. They don't get involved in disciplinary problems."
Antioch's linked learning academies -- focused on career themes such as health care, engineering and law -- represent the next generation of education reform. Students select a career path, study relevant subjects with like-minded peers and learn not only from teachers but industry professionals.
This innovation was kick-started five years ago with a $3.5 million grant from the James Irvine Foundation, but its success owes largely to the vision shared by Gill and Robin Schmitt, the district's executive director of programs and interventions.
"It doesn't cost a lot more money to do this," Gill said, "but you have to redistribute the resources you have."
You also need the cooperation of the business community, which is where April Treece of the nonprofit Contra Costa Economic Partnership comes in. She helps coordinate industry participation that includes everything from guest speakers, field trips and mentoring to joint projects.
About 50 percent of Antioch's students are enrolled in pathway academies -- others study traditional subjects -- and more sign up each year. Pathway students take core classes in English, math, history, social science and science, but they also study a technical field and enjoy real-world experiences designed to prepare them for college or a career.
Antioch High offers pathways in engineering; leadership and public service; media and technology; and environmental studies. Deer Valley has performing arts; law and justice; academic challenge and enrichment; and business technology. Dozier-Libbey is all medical. New students list their top three choices, and a lottery determines where they are placed.
"The further students get into the academies, the deeper they go," Gill said, "because they're focusing their efforts on something they feel passionate about."
Law and justice students have listened to attorneys explain legal briefs on pending cases and then watched judges hear arguments. They've observed police detectives investigate fictitious crime scenes set up on campus.
Engineering students have worked with Caltrans officials to build scale-model bridges.
Medical students are "assigned" diseases and required to prescribe treatments. And they participate in an emergency-room experience, where they wear scrubs and wash up before "surgery."
"They do laparoscopic surgery, using medical apparatus to remove Skittles from the abdomen of a mannequin," Schmitt said. "The whole time, the doctors and staff are interacting with them."
So if Skittles are lodged in your stomach, now you know where to turn.
The big idea behind this modest plan is to let students choose programs that best meet their interests and needs.
Gill tells of a youngster who lacked direction in middle school before his parents enrolled him at Dozier-Libbey. He went on to become state president of the Health Occupation Students of America and earn a scholarship to Stanford University and became the first in his family to go to college.
"I knew this would be a powerful reform strategy," Gill said, "but it's exceeded every expectation I had."

Residents of the DeVille Apartments in DeKalb have watched authorities make several drug related arrests in the last couple of days.
"We are going to go after these dealers no matter where they are and bring them to justice," said Sheriff James Moore.
In the past year, several agencies including the sheriff's department, Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics, and the DeKalb Police Department, have been watching these suspects and waiting for the perfect opportunity to bring them in to custody.
"You need to investigate these guys and see who their associates are and get good cases so that when they go to court they will be found guilty," said Moore.
Most of the men are charged with the sale of crack cocaine and marijuana. Even though the job isn't done, Sheriff Moore says he can tell a difference in the community.
"The citizens deserve to live as much as they can free of drug traffickers and we are committed to help them with this process."
Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics Monday said six people were arrested Friday and Saturday, and it expects to make more arrests.
MBN director Marshall Fisher reported those arrested as Terrance Bourrage, age 35, of DeKalb, for sale of crack cocaine; Eric Clark, age and address unavailable, for sale of crack cocaine; Jonathan R.

Jerry: Tonight on the King's Court, I will be talking to Bret "The Hitman Hart. You know, the guy with those Jurassic Park parents. You know Stu Hart is so old, I told him to act his age, so he dropped dead and Helen Hart, well, she was just born old. When she was a teenager, her acne had liver spots.
(This is when Bret Hart enters the ring in the King's court)
Jerry: Before I talk to you about your upcoming match with Big Daddy Cool Diesel, I want to talk about something that took place a year ago at the upcoming event (King of the Ring '94). Do you remember when I crowned you? Ha!Ha!Ha! Do you remember, or do you have so much oil on your head that it slipped your mind?
Jerry: What is that terrible smell?
Vince McMahon: It is probably Betsy.
Jerry: Who?
Vince McMahon: Betsy, T.L. Hopper's plunger.
Jerry: Oh, I thought Betsy was that lady sitting behind us.
Vince McMahon: Jake "The Snake" Roberts is trying to tell people not to drink and drive...
Jerry: (Interrupts) C'mon McMahon. The only reason why Jake "The Snake" Roberts doesn't drink & drive anymore is because he is afraid he might hit a bump and spill his drink.
Jerry: Isaac Yankem told me the reason why Lex Luger is so stupid is because he has a cavity in his wisdom tooth.
Jerry: Diesel is so stupid, he thinks Hamburger Helper comes with another person.

(Mankind is sitting by the turnbuckle yanking out his hair)
Jerry: Look McMahon, there is some extra hair for your toupee.

Jerry: Hey Sunny, nice belts!
Jerry: Those two make a real lovely pair.
Vince McMahon: What are you talking about?
Jerry: I'm talking about the Slammy trophies.
Jerry: I heard a rumor that Ahmed Johnson needed a kidney transplant, and Jake "The Snake" was the donor, Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Jerry: As Jake "The Snake" would say, Sid's three beers short of a six-pack.

Vince McMahon: Stu Hart recently turned 80...
Jerry: hehehe...
Vince McMahon: Go ahead, make a smart comment like you always do. Go ahead!
Jerry: Have you ever heard that when someone gets older, that they try to act younger?
Vince McMahon: Yes, so what?
Jerry: Well Stu Hart must really believe that because now he is starting to wear diapers.
Vince McMahon: Look at the Hucksters pythons.

Jerry: I heard that everyone wanted to get the right amount of candles for the cake, but the fire marshall wouldn't let them.
Jerry: I have a note right here from President Jack Tunney to Dink. I can tell it's from Jack Tunney because it's written in crayon.
Jerry: I don 't want to get Dink mad, he might punch me in the ankle, Ha! Ha! Ha!
Jerry: When Queasy gets done with Dink, he's going to go back to what he can do best and that's being a desk clerk at a roach motel.
Vince McMahon: What are you doing?
Jerry: I just introduced "Sleazy".
Macho Man: You're sleazy.
Jerry: Yeah, nice outfit Savage. Did the bag lady give that to you?
WWF was in South Africa.
Jerry: Where you their, Ross?
Jim Ross: Yes I was. A picture of this ugly thing.
Jerry: Yeah, I see you brought your wife.
Jim Neidhart challenges the British Bulldog.
Jerry: So British Bulldog, do you accept his challenge, or is your breath worse than your bite.
Macho Man: What is he doing?
Jerry: I'll tell you what I'm doing Savage. I am going to talk to a dating couple, something you know nothing about Savage. All your dates are the same, inflatable. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Vince McMahon: Calm down Randy!
Jerry: In fact, the computer dating service called and told me they found the perfect date for you, but the zoo wouldn't let her out.
Jerry tells the girl that her boyfriend wants to marry her.
Jerry: You don't want to marry him. Look at his ex-girlfriend, she's been around more times than a carousel.
The girl said yes.
Jerry: Now that you're going to marry him, just remember a few things. Love your husband, respect your husband, but try to get everything in your name.
Vince McMahon: Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Macho Man: I agree with him.
Jerry: I would like be the first to give you a congratulatory kiss... Wow, last time I saw a nose like that there was an elephant attached to it.
(Jerry got a kid to dress like Roddy Piper to make fun of him for their up coming match at KOTR)
Jerry: Nice haircut. Where did you get that from, a pet shop?
Jerry: When I saw Vader crash on Jake "The Snake" Roberts's ribs, that was 100% proof that he was finished. But then again, knowing Jake "The Snake" Roberts he won't drink anything unless it is 100 proof.
Jerry: P.U.! You can smell the alcohol on him.
Jerry: Hey McMahon, why don't you get Jake "The Snake" Roberts down here? Ha! Ha!
Vince McMahon: Oh, you think you are real funny.
Jerry: I want to talk to him. I want to ask him how the food was at the Betty Forbes clinic.
Vince McMahon: Right now on the phone, Jake "The Snake" Roberts...
Jerry: WHAT?!
Vince McMahon: Jake, how are you?
Jake Roberts: I'm doing okay.
Vince McMahon: Jake was out yesterday due to an internal muscle...
Jerry: No McMahon, I told everyone the reason why Jake was out of In Your House. He has barthritis he aches in a different bar every night, HA! HA! So Jake, where are you calling from? The local bar, or the Betty Forbes Clinic?
Vince McMahon: How dare you!
Steve Austin: I didn't know you could get a torn muscle coughing up all that hotch.
Jerry: HA! HA! Hey Jake, I thought you would be here, so look, I got a surprise for you. Look Jake, it's your tag team partner Jim Beam HA! HA! HA! HA!
Jake Roberts: One of these days, someone is going to get you and I hope that it will be me.
Vince McMahon: Jake, when do you think you will be back?
Jake Roberts: Hopefully soon.
Steve Austin: As far as I'm concerned son, You need to stay out for as long as you can...
Vince McMahon: I'm sorry Jake, I will not subject you to anymore of this.
Jerry: So long Jake, why don't you say hello to your friend Otis Campbell, Ha! Ha!
Steve Austin: McMahon if you ever cut me off like that again, I'll back-hand slap you and knock those stupid glasses off your face.
Jerry: The only reason why Aldo Montoya beat me was because he has been hanging around Jake "The Snake" Roberts and has been carrying around those intoxicating fumes from Jake.
Vince McMahon: I'm attempting to get Jake "The Snake" Roberts on the phone right now.
Jerry: What are you going to do McMahon? Tell him that you're a bar tender?
(Jerry just finished a match up with Aldo Montoya and is about to dump a bottle of booze down his throat)
Jerry: Hey Jake, don't get jealous
Jake Roberts: I've got a lot of fire and rage burning inside of me...
Jerry: The only thing you have in you is 100 proof.
Jerry: Tonight on RAW, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin battles Jake "The Drunk" Roberts.
Jerry: Look at Jake, he's missing his shirt. He probably sold it for a shot.
Jerry: Jake is so drunk, whenever he wrestles he sees double vision. But he still wonders why everyone has an exact twin.
Jerry: The only reason why Jake wants to come here is because he probably saw the bottle.
Kevin Kelly: I don't think you have anything Jake is interested in.
Jerry:What?! Jake "The Snake's" two best friends are Jim Beam & Jack Daniels.
Kevin Kelly: Yeah King, it sure takes a lot of courage to taunt a man while he is laying on his back.
Jerry: That is the way he always is, that drunken' bum.
Kevin Kelly: King, don't you go interfere in the match with that bottle of booze.
Jerry: C'mon. Jake looks thirsty. His tongue is hanging out like a redneck's tie.
Jerry: I think they made a mistake when they called him the "Wildman". I think they should call him the "Mildman".
Jerry: My goodness, look at Henry Godwinns teeth, that looks like an orthodontist dream !
Vince McMahon: What are you talking about?
Jerry: Henry Godwin has got so many missing teeth, it looks like his tongue is in jail.
Vince McMahon: Isaac Yankem appears to be scared of the Ultimate Warrior.
Jerry: C'mon McMahon. Isaac Yankem is so tough, he can floss his teeth with barb wire.
Jerry: I was offered a job to write and draw a cartoon about the Hart family. I had a hard time trying to draw Helen Hart because I don't think anyone has invented a pen with enough ink to draw all the wrinkles on her face.
Jerry: Out of all the King's Courts that I have had, you people are by far the ugliest crowd I have ever seen. Look at you. Is that your face, or did your neck throw up?
Jerry: Look at these two, look at her face! You see, it's girls like you that turn men into... well, you know, people like Goldust.
Jerry: Now that Razor Ramon's leg is hurt, he probably has to ride on a wheelchair. If his wheelchair ever stops moving because of rust, he can just use the grease from his hair to make it roll again.
Jerry: If Vader drops the Vader Bomb on Razor Ramon, a huge grease spot will be left on the ring.
Jerry: Hey McMahon, at the Bikini Beach Blast, if you decide to take a swim in the pool, your toupee might raise to the top and scare everyone away.
Jerry: That was the scariest thing I have ever seen, having to sit next to McMahon in the dark. You should have seen his toupee, it got up and started to crawl like a bug.
Jerry: Last time anyone saw legs like that was when the Brontosaurus was extinct.
Vince McMahon: One of these days, you're going to get DDT'd.
Jerry: You know, DDT is about the only thing Jake won't drink.
Jerry: Instead of OJ's kids, what about Jake "The Snake's" kids? We don't have to worry about them though. At least they will be sober. They won't drink anything stronger than pop. But then again, Pop will drink anything.
Jerry: What do Jake "The Snake" Roberts and a beer bottle have in common? They're both empty from the neck up!
Jerry: Savio Vega is taking more shots than Jake "The Snake" does during happy hour.

Vince McMahon: I have a feeling.
Jerry: Yeah, it's probably gas.

(At the 1997 Slammy Awards)
Jerry: It's going to be a hair-raising experience. In your case McMahon, a toupee-raising experience.
(Undertaker walking off stage at Slammy Awards 97 and the camera gets a shot of his tattoos)
Jerry: OOOh, look at that face. That's Helen Hart's face there.

LAWLER: The older they get, the better they were.
(Jim Ross asks "How come Brian Christopher looks so much like you?"
LAWLER: A long time ago, I got a vasectomy, and I paid for it with my MasterCard. Well, I forgot to pay the bill that month, so they sent someone over and they got my wife pregnant.
LAWLER: I'd like to see things from your point of view, J.R., but I can't get my head up my rear end.
(About Taka Michinoku)
LAWLER: Statistics show that somewhere in Japan, a woman gives birth to a baby every 4 seconds. Now I'm going over there and find that woman, and put a stop to it so we don't have people like Taka coming into our country.
(Stone Cold Steve Austin says he'll knock Vince's teeth out)
LAWLER: I don't think they are real anyway, but I don't think McMahon want's to lose them.
(About Road Dog)
LAWLER: When he was in Desert Storm, he was getting shot at by both sides.
LAWLER: If the Japanese are so smart, why do they eat with sticks?
LAWLER: When Sunny was in school she wasn't very good in history, but she was great on dates!

(Taz tells Lawler to say his wise cracks to his face)
LAWLER: Tell him to come down and I will tell him how short he is to his face. If I can bend down that far.
LAWLER: Is that Paul Bearer's face, or did his butt grow a nose?
LAWLER: Paul bearer has more chins than a Chinese phone book.
LAWLER: He (Ahmed Johnson) has the IQ of 2 and it takes 3 just to grunt.
LAWLER: That guy (Mankind) is two fries short of a Happy Meal.
LAWLER: Paul Bearer is so fat, he has his own gravitational pull!
LAWLER: This Bingo Hall (ECW Arena) should be built out of toilet paper because there's nothing in it but shit!
(Lawler talking about a ringside fan on camera)
LAWLER: He can pick up cable with those ears!
(Sable wearing an extremely revealing outfit)

LAWLER: Alundra Blaze has a million dollar body, but a ten cent face!
LAWER: McMahon thinks Snoop Doggy Dog belongs to Charlie Brown.

McMAHON: We have Jerry Lawler on the line. Mr. Lawler, are you there?
LAWLER: Ya I'm here McMahon and I can't believe you accepted this collect call. You're so cheap, you would not even tip a canoe.
(Lawler hit Tommy Dreamer in between the legs with Sandman's cane and Dreamer went to the hospital)
LAWLER: They're calling me and telling me, "Do you realize that you sent Tommy Dreamer to the hospital and he has to have his testicles worked on?" Ha! Well do you know how I know that is a lie? Because Dreamer you don't have any balls! If you would have gone to the hospital, you would have to go see a gynaecologist. And Sandman, the next time you see me, you better drink a case of that liquid courage because you're going to need to be real drunk so that you don't feel what I'm going to do to you. ECW, You Suck!
(Jim Ross asked Lawler if Brian Christopher is his son and then Lawler ask Ross if he had a son. Ross says he has two daughters)

Allererste TV-Show in den USA
Paul Boesch kündigt die Ausstrahlung einer TV-Show für Houston Wrestling an. Die Show wird auf ABC ausgestrahlt und wird als erste TV-Show überhaupt angesehen, die in den USA übertragen wurde.
Kennst du schon diese Fehde?
Am Tag nachdem der Undertaker ein knallhartes Hell In A Cell Match gegen Brock Lesnar verlor, humpelte er noch sichtlich mitgenommen zum Ring, um Lesnar seinen Respekt zu bekunden. Lesnar zeigte sich davon auch leicht angerührt, nicht jedoch Big Show, der dem Undertaker ins Wort fiel und erklärte, d...Weiterlesen!

Steve Vai Releases Volume VI & VII of the 'Naked
Tracks' Series -
The next two instalments of Steve Vai's 'Naked Tracks' series,
Volume VI and VII are now available at Vai.com.
The 'Naked Tracks' series have been designed with musicians in
mind who crave playing guitar, but don't yet have the band to back
them up.
Aspiring and accomplished guitarists can jam freely over the
solo less lead guitar tracks from a number of classic Steve
Vai albums.
Volume VI features selections from 'Where The Wild Things
Are,' 'Sound Theories,' and a handful of VaiTunes
releases. Volume VII features all tracks from Steve's latest
solo release, 'The Story of Light.'
"This series of play-along CD's is designed to help create
an atmosphere of focus so you can shred yourself into a
personally-induced inspirational nirvana," explains Vai.
"One way to play along with them is to learn the original
guitar parts on the album versions of the songs," he said. "But I
would encourage you to take a more-active role in using the tracks
as a bed to lay your own creative interpretation over. There are
really no rules. So sit back, flip on a naked track and dress it up
with your own artistic musical apparel."
To coincide with the new 'Naked Tracks' releases, Steve has
released a free track which is available on Vai.com for download.
Simply click the button, retweet the message to your loyal
followers, and receive a download.
