Guest Voice of John Pippy: Obama's coal policies hurt GE in Erie
As the chief executive of the Pennsylvania Coal Alliance and a former Pennsylvania state senator, I have witnessed firsthand the unintended consequences of shortsighted government policies. Nowhere has this been more evident than in the area of energy policy.
The Obama administration, through the efforts of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, has mercilessly attacked the coal industry by imposing regulations that are forcing the electric generating industry to shut down coal-fired capacity. In turn, by reducing the domestic demand for coal, coal mines have been forced to shut down or reduce production. This has had a devastating impact on our communities that have been dependent on the coal industry.
Now we see the further impact of this misguided federal policy in Erie, where GE Transportation has proposed reducing its workforce by 1,050 jobs. It is not difficult to see how federal energy policy is forcing the downsizing of another coal-related workforce at this GE production facility, which builds locomotives and mining equipment.
Joining the Obama administration in its campaign against the coal industry has been its special-interest environmentalist friends.
Consider the case of the Homer City electric generating station in Indiana County, an important part of the economic infrastructure of that region.
Last year, the Sierra Club announced it would sue the plant's owners and operators -- among them, GE -- as part of a campaign to close the plant. The owners responded with detailed plans for a $725 million pollution control upgrade that would significantly reduce emissions of mercury, sulfur dioxide and other air pollutants.
The Sierra Club's answer? No. They wanted the plant closed.
In fact, the Sierra Club's "Beyond Coal" campaign all but brags about plants it has shut down, making no mention that, with them, it ends thousands of jobs.
Evidently the Obama administration and its environmental allies do not care about how much you pay for electricity, just as they don't care about how many good-paying jobs they destroy. Make no mistake about it: Remove coal from energy production and your electric bills will rise, and many of your neighbors will be laid off when the companies they work for can no longer afford their utility bills.
While reporters and analysts are quick to say that the decline in coal is linked to a rise in electric companies switching over to natural gas, be assured, when they're through with coal jobs, the opponents will come after the natural gas jobs. President Barack Obama's allied environmental groups are hard at work to halt Pennsylvania's natural gas boom.
Sometimes all politics are not local. State energy, environmental and tax policies are not to blame for the devastating cuts to the GE workforce. Gov. Tom Corbett, in fact, is unambiguously on record about believing in an "all of the above" menu for energy independence: gas, wind, solar and -- yes indeed -- coal.
In the past decade, science and industry have made huge strides in turning coal into a clean-burning, efficient and economical source of energy for an expanding economy. It is sad that some leaders from the Potomac to the Susquehanna rivers don't make the connection between that plant in Homer City, the mines in Pennsylvania's mountains, and 1,050 lost jobs along the banks of Lake Erie.
If leaders are serious about saving the latter, they need to show more respect for the first two.
JOHN PIPPY is chief executive of the Pennsylvania Coal Alliance, based in Harrisburg (www.pacoalalliance.com).

The Wild Coast
by Peter Baxter | www.southafricalogue.com In the modern world, 'wild' as far as nature is concerned is a relative concept. It is enough, perhaps, that an area of natural beauty is not utterly trampled by urban development, or destroyed by irresponsible land use, for it to deserve the term 'wild'. Certainly this is the case in the developing world, and most particularly along the earth's tropical coastlines. The Wild Coast of South Africa's Eastern Cape, although hardly wild, is by comparison to the KZN (Kwa-Zulu Natal) South Coast in a different world altogether.

Introduction to the Meaning and Uses of Aegirine
The beautiful, black blades of Aegirine rise from its host rock like the legendary Sword in the Stone waiting for someone to draw upon its power to make all things right. A Stone of Integrity and Self, Aegirine is a most noble crystal, aligning with one's truest convictions in life and providing the courage and confidence to follow those convictions. It encourages acceptance of self and others, and to follow the heart.
With its connection to the earth and the natural world, Aegirine activates a strong, protective energy, guarding the aura and physical body, as well as fortifying the Spirit in times of difficulty. It eliminates negative thoughts, energies and attachments, and replaces them with the Light of the positive. It promotes wholeness and healing.
Aegirine is a member of the Pyroxene group, a sodium iron silicate that forms as long, prismatic crystals often terminated by a steep asymmetrical pyramid. It may also form as compact and fibrous disseminated grains. Opaque to translucent, it is dark in color, most often black, though sometimes greenish-black or brownish-black, and is commonly found in alkali-rich volcanic rock. Discovered in Norway, Aegirine is named for the Norse god of the sea, Aegir, and is also known as Acmite, from the Greek word meaning "point.
It is an excellent crystal for doctors, nurses or others who are continually exposed to the toxic energies of traditional hospital environments, and shields those in home office and workplace settings when constantly exposed to the electromagnetic fields of computers and electronics.
Aegirine expands the power of other stones in all healing situations by boosting the body's own ability to self-heal.
Aegirine is a powerful protector of those suffering jealousy, malice, mental influence or psychic attack from others. Use once a week as a wand in the hand you write with to thrust energies away from you in all directions as you state your intent of protection.
Carrying or wearing Aegirine helps force the release of negative attachments that may have taken root in the aura's protective field weakened by abuse of alcohol or drugs, or by smoking cigarettes (though the effect is more gradual). Working with Aegirine in body layouts or in conjunction with other subtle body healing can, in time, regenerate the damaged auric shield.
Take Aegirine on journeys of self-discovery, whether spiritual or traveling to new destinations. It is a good talisman for backpackers for protection against negative energies and inhospitable places and people

There's a celebration going on in February that doesn't require you to sell your soul to the Hallmark gods in order to prove your worth. Flowers and candy only last a little while, but women in the horror genre have been around forever. Artist and writer Hannah Neurotica is a Jill of all trades, but her most recent claim to fame is the introduction of February as Women in Horror Month. This is the second year that people across the globe are celebrating the feminine in fear -- recognizing the work of scream queens, directors, writers, effects artists and everyone in between.
Please visit Hannah's website to find out about how you can help raise awareness and shed light on a genre that is progressively changing. She's listing all the events taking place on the interwebs and in your area all month long.
After the jump, celebrate Women in Horror Month with us by checking out a list of our favorite final girls (in no particular order). Feel free to share your picks in the comments section. In many ways the final girl is the ultimate symbol of a strong woman, because no matter what the killer tries to do, she refuses to be broken. Some of the most unlikely characters end up as final girls after going through a transformation and confronting their fears. Others you can spot a mile away -- particularly if she's the girl avoiding drinking, drugs and sex (a fast way to send yourself to the chopping block). No matter how you slice it, the final girl is who you want on your side when faced with the knife-wielding weirdo. She reigns supreme.
[spoilers ahead]
Laurie Strode in 'Halloween'
Jamie Lee Curtis plays the bookishly nerdy Laurie Strode in John Carpenter's classic slasher film, 'Halloween.' Carpenter's movie -- about a disturbed man child who sets off on a killing spree in the small town of Haddonfield -- is credited for being the first film in the subgenre to popularize the stalk and slice movies. Laurie typifies what many people think of when they imagine a final girl. She's quiet, responsible, and totally on top of her game when Michael Myers (her brother) starts to violently tear his way through her friends to get to her. Family bonding at its best!
Nancy Thompson in 'A Nightmare on Elm Street'
The coolest part about Nancy Thompson (Heather Langenkamp) is that she doesn't wait for the killer to find her before she fights -- she instead brings the fight to him. She proves to be child murderer Freddy Krueger's strongest opponent when she figures out how the pizza-faced monster is attacking teens in their dreams. Even though her best friend is slaughtered and her hottie boyfriend gets sucked into a bloody bed, she manages to keep it together enough to devise a plan. Nancy learns the art of booby trapping in order to pull Freddy out of her dream world and into reality, killing him.
Jess Bradford in 'Black Christmas'
Bob Clark's 'Black Christmas' was carving a path for the slasher genre before Carpenter's 'Halloween,' and the film's final girl, Jess Bradford (Olivia Hussey), expertly navigates her way through the atmospheric chiller. When obscene and threatening phone calls to a sorority house spook the girls who are stuck there for Christmas, people start turning up dead. Jess takes matters into her own hands despite facing the inefficiency of police work, the difficulty of an abortion, a faceless killer and a psycho boyfriend. Merry Christmas!
Sally Hardesty in 'The Texas Chain Saw Massacre'
Sally's (Marilyn Burns) road trip didn't exactly turn out perfectly. Instead of having a peaceful reunion with the family homestead as planned, she has to deal with her whiny brother -- the dreaded Franklin (Paul A. Partain). On top of that, she has a run-in with a self-mutilating hitchhiker, her friend meets a terrible fate on a meat hook and she has to endure a dull beating in the head by the near-mummified grandfather (John Dugan) in a family of lunatics. Even though she's not much of a fighter, she possesses the will to survive ... and she can run like hell.
Nami Tsuchiya in 'Evil Dead Trap'
Nami (Miyuki Ono) is the host of a late night TV show who receives a gory snuff flick in the mail. The violent video prompts her to take a crew to investigate its origins at an abandoned military base. Some might call this naive, but I call it ballsy. Nami proves to be just that when she figures out the location of the murder by the video's visual clues, and uncovers the killer who is systematically picking off her team in the most gruesome of ways.
Ginny Field in 'Friday the 13th Part 2'
Ginny (Amy Steel) wasn't afraid to go head-to-head with a psycho, when she used her brains and a machete to beat the Crystal Lake killer, Jason Voorhees. She's also an atypical final girl, because she actually gets to survive after having sex and drinking a six-pack. It's her quick thinking, though, that's most impressive. She uses her understanding of Jason's twisted psyche to trick him into believing she's his mother and eventually defeats him.
Jennifer Corvino in 'Phenomena'
Jennifer Connelly's character in Dario Argento's 'Phenomena' might be a young girl, but she proves that age is just a number when she gets all 'Lord of the Flies' on the creepy Patua (Davide Marotta) who tries to snuff her out. Don't let the Swiss boarding school fool you into thinking Jennifer's a rich brat. She has crazy mind powers and works with the awesome Donald Pleasence to solve a series of murders.
Ellen Ripley in 'Alien'
No, Ridley Scott's 'Alien' doesn't take place in a sorority house or the woods, but it has a slasher film heart, and Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) is one of the most compelling final girls in horror film history. Her clear-minded intelligence and sexual/gender neutrality make her the quintessential final girl, but she's such a badass that she doesn't follow all of the usual conventions. Ripley starts out unassuming, but eventually establishes herself as the tough, resourceful, commanding hero.
Kirsty Cotton in 'Hellraiser'
Kirsty (Ashley Laurence) has a creepy uncle and an even creepier father, but she doesn't let them -- or her icy stepmother -- get her down. She's fiercely independent, living in her own apartment and working at a pet store when she's not getting cozy with her boyfriend. When the Cenobites from hell roll into town, she's smart enough to make a deal with them that saves her soul from being torn apart -- dishing up Uncle Frank instead.
Sidney Prescott in 'Scream'
The role of the final girl and the slasher film was revitalized and reimagined in Wes Craven's 1996 film 'Scream.' Craven toys with slasher film conventions, adding self-referential irony and humor into the mix -- subverting our expectations of the subgenre. Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) became the face of a new generation of final girls when she not only fought against the backlash surrounding her mother's past, but also her attack by a masked killer(s). She's increasingly established herself as a strong final girl throughout the 'Scream' franchise.

Accretion onto magnetic stars is expected to be inhibited when the drag exerted by the rotating magnetosphere on the accreting matter gives rise to a centrifugal force that is locally stronger than gravity. The action of such a "centrifugal barrier" likely plays an important role in a variety of astrophysical conditions ranging from the decay and quiescent phase of X-ray transients hosting a magnetic neutron star, to peculiar magnetic white dwarves in cataclysmic variables, symbiotic and T Tauri stars. Yet the observational evidence in favor of the centrifugal barrier has so far been scarce and, at best, indirect.
Here we report on a BeppoSAX observation of the 3.6 s X-ray pulsar transient 4U 0115+63 in a low luminosity state. For the first time dramatic variations (up to factor of ~ 250 in 15 hr) in the accretion luminosity were seen, which were not accompanied by any significant variation in other source properties, such as the emitted spectrum, pulse shape and relative amplitude. This provide the first direct evidence of an accreting star (a neutron star in this case) right at the transition between the centrifugal inhibition and the accretion regime. The inferred dependence of the source luminosity on the mass inflow rate is exceptionally steep (power law dependence with index ~30), providing new important information on physics of the disk-magnetosphere interaction.

THE DAY MARIO BATALI BLESSED MY MEATBALLSHelen Cavallo
I'm asked to be a guest on The Chew! I'm a huge fan of the show. I mean these are real chefs… people I admire, Mario Batali, Michael Symon, Carla Hall…
My nerves kick in immediately because the show will be taped live in front of an audience. OH SWEET JESUS. My nerves are shot. I've been told this happens to everyone before they perform/speak in front of an audience/get in front of the camera. I'm sure they're just saying that to make me feel better. I've also been told that after a while of doing it, cell memory kicks in and it goes away. I can't wait until I suffer from cell memory. Right now, the only thing I know for sure when I'm in front of the camera is my name. It's like the SAT's—you get an automatic 300 just for writing your name.
Some words of wisdom I received prior to the taping included:
Look, there are bigger idiots than you on TV.
Whatever you do, don't pull a Cindy Brady. (Remember the Brady Bunch episode when Cindy was asked to be on a quiz show because she was so smart? Until the camera rolled and she totally froze.
And from my sister Grace…Oh God Hel, don't mess this up…
The show was "Comfort Food Minus the Calories" so I decided to make spaghetti and meatballs—using spaghetti squash as the pasta (only 340 calories!) It's delicious and still has that slurpy spaghetti feel. GREAT!
5,4,3,2…moment of truth…
I'm not entirely sure what happened that day. It went by lightening fast. I remember sounds, clapping, smiling, and not much else. My Aunt Gom and best friend Jeanine were in the audience beaming with pride. Gom told everyone in the audience I was her niece, I mean everyone. I didn't see them prior to taping but I could feel just how nervous they were for me. Grace wouldn't even come to set, there was no way she could handle it. It was explained to me afterward that it was as if it was happening to them…which is nice to know people have your back like that. DARE TO DREAM.
Michael and I cooked together.
Mario watched and said he makes his meatballs the same way I do, by braising them in the sauce. I mean c'mon—from one Italian to another! I mean, howelseyagonnadoit, right?
(I could swear I heard Gom yell, That's right Mario!)
Carla was lovely, giving hugs and kisses.
Daphne allegedly asked me something…I have no idea what. We'll have to wait for the clip!
And the last thing I remember is Mario tasting and then complimenting me on my meatballs. I was beaming! I mean, I'm from Staten Island, the Italian-American Meatball Capital of the World and Mario complimented my meatballs! Delicious, he said (allegedly!) Michael said it's not too often Mario throws those compliments around. THIS I do remember.
The only snafu was when Michael asked me what was in my sauce.
Not a trick question…but definitely a Cindy Brady moment.
I said tomatoes, I think…and couldn't for the life of me remember what else even though I was looking straight at it.
Michael helped me out…Onion? Carrots? And then I blurted out GARLIC! There's garlic in there too!
Everyone takes a bite; there are hugs and kisses, smiling, clapping, and its over!
I've got a photo of me with THE CHEW crew (here) and now walk with a "Mario loves my meatballs" swagger.
Tune in and watch me have recipe amnesia and have my meatballs blessed:
My guest appearance on The Chew airs January 10th at 1e|12 p|c on ABC.

Manhattan Valley's Long Awaited Boom Ends Up Just a Fizzle
By EVELYN NIEVES
Published: December 25, 1990
Crack dealers work the corners: 103d Street and Manhattan Avenue, 104th and Columbus, 105th and Columbus. Piles of garbage line the side streets. Beyond rows of dilapidated tenements, "apartment available" signs hang on stately buildings along Central Park West -- hardly what was envisioned for this neighborhood real-estate brokers call Manhattan Valley.
For the last 10 years, Manhattan Valley, a quick dip between the Upper West Side and Harlem, from 100th Street to 110th Street and Central Park West to Broadway, has been poised for a revival.
When apartments grew scarce and rents climbed in the 1980's, the valley's attractions grew ever more obvious: Central Park is its backyard, midtown is an easy commute on the Broadway or Eighth Avenue subway lines and rents are hundreds of dollars lower than in other areas near the park.
As young professionals began to discover the closest thing to the Upper West Side, real-estate developers murmured phraseslike "building boom" and "up and coming area." Meanwhile, long-time residents, mostly Hispanic, worried that an influx of white-collar workers would send rents far beyond their means, and watched warily for signs of gentrification. A bodega would close, a fruit stand would open and hushed, urgent warnings would be issued to watch out for the invading yuppies.
But if Manhattan Valley has been a TriBeCa in waiting, then the wait continues. The real-estate slump has removed the incentive for well-heeled bargain hunters to move in, as rents and co-operative prices have fallen in better neighborhoods.
Local housing groups have renovated dozens of battle-scarred walk-ups for homeless, low- and moderate-income families. But within sight of almost every restored building stands a boarded, moldering one.
As in other neighborhoods, apartments are selling for less than they were three years ago. At the Warner Condominiums, a prewar building on Central Park West, near 107th Street, a one-bedroom apartment of about 790 square feet sold for $171,000 in 1987. Last month, Gala Realty, which converted eight buildings in Manhattan Valley in the last eight years, sold a comparble one-bedroom in the same building for $150,000.
"It's not the gold coast," Miriam Bogaert, an associate broker at Gala Realty said. "We think prices may have bottomed out and apartments will start to sell again."
By day, when the streets fill with commerce, the ravaged spots can be almost overlooked. Manhattan Valley then looks like many of New York's ethnic neighborhoods. About 15,000 of the area's almost 30,000 residents are Hispanic -- non-Hispanic whites and blacks make up the rest -- and Spanish is the language to speak in its restaurants and stores.
In the heart of the neighborhood along Amsterdam and Columbus Avenues are all manner of madre y padre businesses: vegetable stands, bakeries, grocery stores, drug stores, a shoemaker, a fish market, hair salons, furniture and hardware stores, pizzerias and Chinese fast-food outlets, one fancy Dominican restaurant and plenty of bars. A 'Quite Scary' Place
From 104th Street to 107th Street on Columbus Avenue, where there are 12 bodegas, mothers walk their babies from one store to the other. Neighbors often stop in mid-block to chat.
But at night, the streets clear. Traffic is left to the drug dealers, who stand under lampposts and rush like eager doormen when limousines and BMW's pull to the curbs.
Last year, a former nursing home, which occupied a landmark building that stood vacant and vandalized for 16 years, was reopened after great effort by the Valley Restoration Development Corporation as a 477-bed American Youth Hostel. The guests there often express disappointment in the neighborhood, said the hostel manager, Abe Reyes.
"Some people find it quite scary," Mr. Reyes said. "No one seems to be scandalized by the drugs -- they've heard of that -- but they find it run-down, ugly."
Manhattan Valley has always been a humble place. In the 1880's, tenements there housed poor Irish immigrants and the neighborhood was nicknamed Shanty Town. The best buildings in the area have always stood on its fringes, either on Central Park West or beyond its borders on West End Avenue. Some 'Heavy Dealing'
The valley does boast a row of townhouses from 104th to 106th Streets on Manhattan Avenue, a quirky block west of Central Park West, that are as impressive as any in the city. And it also boasts two new apartment towers that opened in the last few years on 110th Street between Central Park West and Manhattan Avenue.
But the largest presence there remains the Frederick Douglass Houses, a 2,057-unit housing project that looms over Columbus Avenue from 100th to 104th Streets.
Even as some residents continue to worry about impending gentrification, and talk continues about this neighborhood on the verge, many residents now say the change may never happen, especially if efforts to chase out the drug dealers fail.
"Crime is worse than it's ever been," said Luis Arce, a 42-year-old lifelong neighborhood resident and executive director of the Manhattan Valley Management Company.
"There used to be children playing on the streets," he said. "Now there's fear. There have been shootings and gang wars. Basically, it's the crack that has brought it down."

From the Service de Médecine Interne, Hôpital Broussais, Paris, France (Drs Blacher, Girerd, and Safar); Hypertensie en Cardiovasculaire Revalidatie Eenheid, Departement Moleculair en Cardiovasculair Onderzoek, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Leuven, Belgium (Drs Staessen, Gasowski, and Fagard and Ms Thijs); and Hypertension Division, Cardiovascular Institute and Fuwai Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, People's Republic of China (Drs Liu and Wang).
Current guidelines for the management of hypertension rest almost completely on the measurement of systolic and diastolic blood pressure. However, the arterial blood pressure wave is more correctly described as consisting of a pulsatile (pulse pressure) and a steady (mean pressure) component.
To explore the independent roles of pulse pressure and mean pressure as determinants of cardiovascular prognosis in older hypertensive patients.
This meta-analysis, based on individual patient data, pooled the results of the European Working Party on High Blood Pressure in the Elderly trial (n=840), the Systolic Hypertension in Europe Trial (n=4695), and the Systolic Hypertension in China Trial (n=2394). The relative hazard rates associated with pulse pressure and mean pressure were calculated using Cox regression analysis, with stratification for the 3 trials and with adjustments for sex, age, previous cardiovascular complications, smoking, and treatment group.
A 10-mm Hg wider pulse pressure increased the risk of major cardiovascular complications; after controlling for mean pressure and the other covariates, the increase in risk ranged from approximately 13% for all coronary end points (P=.02) to nearly 20% for cardiovascular mortality (P=.001). In a similar analysis, mean pressure predicted the incidence of cardiovascular complications but only after removal of pulse pressure as an explanatory variable from the model. Furthermore, the probability of a major cardiovascular end point increased with higher systolic blood pressure; at any given level of systolic blood pressure, it also increased with lower diastolic blood pressure, suggesting that the wider pulse pressure was driving the risk of major complications.
In older hypertensive patients, pulse pressure not mean pressure is the major determinant of cardiovascular risk. The implications of these findings for the management of hypertensive patients should be further investigated in randomized controlled outcome trials in which the pulsatile component of blood pressure is differently affected by antihypertensive drug treatment.
ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION mechanically stresses the endothelium and the deeper layers of the arterial wall. The ensuing arterial lesions lead in the long run to debilitating and lethal complications, in particular stroke and myocardial infarction. The current guidelines for the management of hypertension rest almost completely on the measurement of systolic and diastolic blood pressure, 2 specific inflection points of the blood pressure wave, which are usually considered in isolation.1,2 However, blood pressure propagates through the arterial tree as a repetitive continuous wave and is more accurately described as consisting of a pulsatile component (pulse pressure) and a steady component (mean pressure).3 The former depends on ventricular ejection, arterial stiffness, and the timing of wave reflections, whereas cardiac output and peripheral vascular resistance are the major determinants of mean pressure.
Several observational studies4- 13 produced evidence suggesting that in middle-aged and older people pulse pressure may be a better predictor of cardiovascular complications than mean pressure. However, these findings require further clarification. Pulse pressure widens with advancing age,14 so the outcome trials in elderly hypertensive patients may provide a database particularly suitable to explore the independent roles of pulse pressure and mean pressure as determinants of cardiovascular prognosis. To address this issue with sufficient statistical power, the present study pooled the results of 3 placebo-controlled trials in elderly patients with hypertension: the European Working Party on High Blood Pressure in the Elderly trial (EWPHE),15 the Systolic Hypertension in Europe Trial (Syst-Eur),16 and the Systolic Hypertension in China Trial (Syst-China).17
The EWPHE, Syst-Eur, and Syst-China had a placebo-controlled, parallel-group design, which is described in detail elsewhere.15- 17 Eligible patients had to be at least 60 years old. During a 3-month run-in period using single-blind placebo, the patients were required to have average sitting systolic and diastolic blood pressures as follows: 160 to 239 mm Hg systolic and 90 to 119 mm Hg diastolic in the EWPHE15 and 160 to 219 mm Hg systolic and less than 95 mm Hg diastolic in Syst-Eur16 and Syst-China.17
Before randomization15,16 or alternate allocation17 to double-blind treatment with active medication or placebo, the patients were stratified by center, sex, and cardiovascular complications in each of the 3 trials15- 17 and in addition by age in the EWPHE.15 Active treatment was initiated with a fixed combination of hydrochlorothiazide plus triamterene (25 mg plus 50 mg, respectively, once or twice daily) in the EWPHE15 and with nitrendipine (10-40 mg/d) in Syst-Eur16 and Syst-China.17 In treatment-resistant patients, the first-line drug was combined with methyldopa (0.25-2 g/d) in the EWPHE,15 with enalapril maleate (5-20 mg/d) and/or hydrochlorothiazide (12.5-25 mg/d) in Syst-Eur,16 or with captopril (12.5-50 mg/d) and/or hydrochlorothiazide (12.5-50 mg/d) in Syst-China.17 The patients in the control groups received matching placebos.
In the 3 trials, systolic and phase V diastolic blood pressure were measured after at least 3 minutes of rest in the sitting position at 2 to 3 different visits during the placebo run-in period.15- 17 The baseline blood pressure was defined as the average of all sitting readings obtained during the run-in period. Pulse pressure was the difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressures. Mean pressure was calculated as diastolic blood pressure plus one third of pulse pressure. In the present analysis, the definition of events was the same for the 3 trials. Thus, the end points reported in the present analysis did not include those classified as nonfatal, nonmorbid in the EWPHE.
Database management and statistical analysis were performed with SAS software, version 6.12 (SAS Institute Inc, Cary, NC). Event rates in the tertiles of the pulse pressure distributions were compared with 2-tailed tests by computing the standardized normal deviate. Pulse pressure and mean pressure were correlated with morbidity and mortality using the Cox proportional hazards model. Stratification of the Cox model accounted for the differences among the 3 trials. The data were analyzed by intention to treat for all end points, with the exception of the nonfatal complications in the EWPHE, which had only been recorded during the double-blind phase of this study.
The main characteristics of the patients enrolled in the EWPHE, Syst-Eur, and Syst-China appear in Table 1. Overall, pulse pressure ranged from 42 to 154 mm Hg and mean pressure from 80 to 157 mm Hg. In a first step of the analysis, the crude incidence rates of all fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular end points were calculated in tertiles of pulse pressure in the 2 treatment groups of each of the 3 trials separately (Figure 1). In all instances, with the exception of the placebo group in Syst-Eur (P=.20), the occurrence of all fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular end points was significantly greater in the highest compared with the lowest tertile of pulse pressure.
Incidence of all cardiovascular end points in tertiles of pulse pressure in the European Working Party on High Blood Pressure in the Elderly trial,15 Systolic Hypertension in Europe Trial,16 and Systolic Hypertension in China Trial.17 The number of events are given for each tertile. In each trial, the overall incidence of cardiovascular end points was significantly lower in the actively treated patients than in those taking placebo. P values are for the differences in the rates between corresponding tertiles of patients in the placebo or active treatment group. BP indicates blood pressure.
In a further step of the analysis, the risks associated with pulse pressure and mean pressure were adjusted for sex, age, previous cardiovascular complications, smoking, and active treatment. In addition, the relative hazard rates for pulse pressure were also adjusted for mean pressure and vice versa (Table 2). In each trial, with the exception of only the coronary end points in Syst-Eur, pulse pressure was associated with a risk ratio greater than unity; the hazard rates were statistically significant for cardiovascular mortality and all cardiovascular end points in the EWPHE, for fatal and nonfatal stroke in Syst-Eur, and for all end points considered in the analysis in Syst-China. Overall, in Cox regression with stratification for the 3 trials and with adjustment for the other covariates, a 10-mm Hg wider pulse pressure was correlated with an increase in the risk of any end point by approximately 10% to 20% (Table 2).
Mean pressure adjusted for pulse pressure and the same set of possible confounders was not identified as a consistent and significant predictor of risk (Table 2). However, without the adjustment for pulse pressure, the hazard rates associated with a 10-mm Hg increase in mean pressure were 1.16 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.03-1.32; P=.02) for total mortality, 1.17 (95% CI, 0.99-1.38; P=.06) for cardiovascular mortality, 1.09 (95% CI, 0.98-1.27; P=.12) for all cardiovascular end points, 1.21 (95% CI, 1.00-1.44; P=.05) for fatal and nonfatal stroke, and 1.08 (95% CI, 0.89-1.32; P=.44) for fatal and nonfatal coronary end points.
Pulse pressure and mean pressure were both calculated from systolic and diastolic blood pressure. To exclude the possibility that a mathematical artifact in these calculations led to the identification of pulse pressure rather than mean pressure as an independent risk factor, continuous risk functions were plotted for systolic blood pressure at fixed levels of diastolic blood pressure (Figure 2). The 2-year probability of a major cardiovascular end point increased with higher systolic blood pressure (P<.001). However, at any given level of systolic blood pressure, the risk also increased (P=.001) with lower diastolic blood pressure, suggesting that the wider pulse pressure was driving the risk of major complications.
Risk associated with increasing systolic blood pressure at fixed levels of diastolic blood pressure. The 2-year probability of a cardiovascular end point was adjusted for active treatment, sex, age, previous cardiovascular complications, and smoking by Cox multiple regression with stratification for trial (European Working Party on High Blood Pressure in the Elderly trial,15 Systolic Hypertension in Europe Trial,16 and Systolic Hypertension in China Trial17).
The major finding of this study was that across 3 outcome trials involving older patients with systolic and diastolic hypertension15 or patients with isolated systolic hypertension,16- 18 pulse pressure at entry—not mean pressure—independently predicted the incidence of cardiovascular complications and all-cause mortality. These results were consistent in white and Asian patients. Adjustments for active antihypertensive drug treatment and other possible confounders did not remove the relationship with pulse pressure. On the other hand, the present findings must be cautiously interpreted. The positive and independent correlation between pulse pressure and the incidence of cardiovascular complications does not necessarily imply a causal or reversible relationship. In addition, whether the present findings may be extrapolated to younger or middle-aged patients remains to be elucidated.
The Hypertension Detection and Follow-up Program reported that all-cause mortality increased by 11% per 10-mm Hg increment in pulse pressure but only by 8% and 5% for similar increases in systolic and diastolic blood pressures, respectively.19 The Framingham Heart Study demonstrated that in the general population systolic blood pressure was a better predictor of cardiovascular risk than diastolic blood pressure, particularly for patients older than 50 years,20 and that at any level of entry diastolic blood pressure, cardiovascular risk increased with systolic blood pressure. Similar findings were reported in a large cohort of middle-aged white men.5,13 Darné et al4 were among the first to notice that pulse pressure, in addition to mean pressure, was an independent cardiovascular risk factor, mainly for cardiac mortality, although only in women older than 55 years. More recently, several groups confirmed that pulse pressure in both hypertensive subjects7- 10 and patients who had had myocardial infarctions11 predicted coronary events and, to a lesser extent, stroke. These findings were consistent in men and women and even in treated hypertensive patients whose diastolic blood pressure was reduced to within the normal range.8- 10
In the present analysis, the 2-year probability of a major cardiovascular end point increased with higher systolic blood pressure. In addition, extrapolation from the Cox regression model showed that at any given level of systolic blood pressure the cardiovascular risk also increased with lower diastolic blood pressure. These findings confirmed the hypothesis that the wider pulse pressure was driving the risk of major complications. In Syst-Eur16 and Syst-China,17 the patients were recruited because they had a systolic blood pressure of 160 mm Hg or higher in the presence of a diastolic blood pressure below 95 mm Hg. However, also in the middle-aged white men randomized in the Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial, the greatest risk was observed in the subjects with the highest systolic blood pressure (≥160 mm Hg) and the lowest diastolic blood pressure (<70 mm Hg) at enrollment.13
The present findings may have important clinical implications in terms of risk assessment and risk reduction.21 They suggest that accounting for the whole blood pressure curve, by considering the pulsatile and the steady component of blood pressure, significantly improves the prediction of cardiovascular complications. For myocardial infarction, the underlying mechanism is not just the poor coronary perfusion associated with low diastolic blood pressure but also the generally reduced elasticity of the large arteries, which is a harbinger of vascular complications in all arterial beds.22 The repercussions of these findings for the diagnosis and management of hypertensive patients should be further investigated in randomized controlled clinical trials. In these future intervention studies, patients could be recruited on the basis of both the level of blood pressure and the width of pulse pressure. They could then be randomized to antihypertensive drugs, which act differently on the pulsatile component of blood pressure. Vasopeptidase inhibitors23,24 and nitric oxide donors25 may possibly increase the distensibility of the large arteries and reduce pulse pressure, although their hypothesized benefit in terms of a reduction of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality still remains to be proven.

Preventing Burns
In the Kitchen
Keep pot handles turned away from the edges of the stove. If possible, cook on the back burners.
Coil appliance cords (irons, coffee pots, and crock pots) away from the edge of the counter as your child can grab the cords and pull hot food down on themselves.
Keep your children safe by creating a no zone in your kitchen while cooking.
Do not eat or drink hot food while holding small children on your lap.
Do not use tablecloths around small children as they can pull on them and hot food can spill on the child.
Never let children remove food or drinks from the microware, always do it fro them.
Keep a fire extinguisher available and in proper working order.
Contain grease fires with baking soda or flour- not water.
In the Bathroom
Set the hot water heater thermostat to 120 degrees or less to avoid a burn injury to a child.
Stir the bath water with your hand to avoid hot spots. If the water is too hot for your hand, it is too hot for your child.
Stay with your child at all times, it only takes a second for a child to turn on the hot water.
Around the House
Matches and lighters should be kept in a high, locked cupboard.
Teach your child that these objects are not toys and discuss fire hazards with your child.
Place floor heaters at least 4 feet away from furniture, curtains, and bedding.
Never place anything on top of an electrical heater or heater vent.
Test smoke detectors monthly and change batteries every six months (a good reminder is when the time changes).
Change your smoke detector every 8-10 years.
Develop an evacuation plan and practice monthly with your children. Establish a safe meeting place outside the home.
Keep a fire extinguisher available and in proper working order in the kitchen and garage.
Flammable liquids
Gasoline is only to be used for combustible engines.
Do not clean with gasoline.
Do not use gasoline to start fires, woodstoves or barbeques.
Store gasoline and other flammable liquids out of the reach of children.
Summer Sun Safety
Sunburn and sun exposure should not be taken lightly. Sunburn can occur in as little as 15 minutes
You can still get a sunburn on a cloudy day
First Aid for Sunburn
Apply cool baths or compresses for 10-15 minutes several times a day
An over the counter pain medication such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) may be helpful
Call the doctor for extremely painful sunburn, fever over 101, sunburn in an infant less than 1, or multiple blisters
Moisturize effected areas liberally and often with lotion
Do not apply petroleum jelly, ointments or butter to the sunburn. They make the symptoms worse and do not allow air to assist in healing
Do not wash burned skin with harsh soap
Drink extra fluids to prevent dehydration, avoiding alcohol & caffeine
Heat Exhaustion and Heat Stroke
Heat exhaustion results from spending too much time in the heat, even when not directly in the sun, like in a hot car or house
Heat stroke is caused by overexposure to direct sunlight, with or without physical activity and is considered a medical emergency
Scald Burns
Scald injuries are painful and require prolonged treatment
Can result in lifetime scarring and even death.
Prevention is always preferable to treatment and can be accomplished through simple changes in behavior and the home environment.
Can happen to anyone, but young children, older adults and people with disabilities are more at risk
Most happen in the house & are in connection with cooking or serving hot food or beverages. Scalds are also caused from hot tap water in bathtubs and showers
Smoking and Burns
If you smoke, do not smoke in bed or in any residential building
Make sure cigarettes are extinguished before leaving a room
Never throw a lit cigarette into bushes or grass, where it could start a fire
Dropped cigarettes are the leading cause of fire fatalities. The incidence of these fatal fires is higher when the person has also been drinking
Electrical Burns
Over 4,000 people suffer severe electrical burns each year, thousands more are injured in fires started by electricity
Electricity is in most homes and can injure someone you love
Check your appliance cords frequently to make sure they are not loose or frayed
Do not overload outlets
Do not place cords under carpets or walkways, wear and tear could damage the cord and cause a fire
Halogen light bulbs emit intense heat, up to 1100 degrees Fahrenheit. Bulbs stay hot long after they have been turned off
Do not use electrical appliances in or near showers or bathtubs
Up to 100 people die each year in the U.S. From lightening strikes. Severe weather occurs with little warning, seek shelter or stay inside as soon as you see lightning

input/ouput/ looping
I need help with the following assignment. I just can't seem to get it to work? It just creates a blank file for addresses.
If anyone can tell me what I am doing wrong I will be forever grateful..
Ok, here's the assignment:
You're working for a company that's building an email list from files of mail messages. They would like you to write a program that reads a file called mail.dat, and that outputs every string containing the @ sign to file addresses.dat. For the purpose of this project, a string is defined as it is by the C++ stream reader - a contiguous sequence of non-whitespace characters.
Here is what mail.dat has in it:
From: email@example.com
Date: June 4, 2005
To: firstname.lastname@example.com
Hope you have a good semester.
Ken Adcock
Here is what I have done:
Code: CPP
Re: input/ouput/ looping
The problem is with
which does not allows the whitespaces and it just restricts itself to the first blank character and so does not fetch any email address in tempString. Try using getline instead.
Re: input/ouput/ looping
thank you :)

About the Book
Halifax-based artist/photographer Robert Young has created a powerful series of large-scale photographs that capture unique views of nature – each piece a richly-coloured and riveting window to the natural world.
The Biophilia Project blends Young's passionate, joyful obsession with nature with his professional mastery of specialized photo and software techniques. Under controlled conditions in his studio, Young – who has worked as a professional photographer for over 30 years – applies various techniques such as focus stacking and panorama stitching to integrate dozens to hundreds of photographs and create a single, finished work.
"One of photography's greatest strengths as an artistic medium is its unparalleled ability to capture detail. This quality is, in part, what drives my work," says Young.
Young's compositions serve to remind us of how we are a vital and integral part of our environment. A photograph of an oak leaf and a pheasant feather illuminates the striking similarities between these seemingly disparate elements. Repeating hydrangea petals reveal to the viewer the extraordinary in the ordinary.
The Biophilia hypothesis – a term first coined by Harvard professor Edward O. Wilson in his book Biophilia (1984) – suggests that we are all naturally drawn to, and benefit from, personal exposure to nature. Young wants the viewer to "take a moment to ponder the architecture of a simple leaf – its line, form, texture and colour are as much art as it is nature."
Young's photos are printed and mounted with carefully selected archival materials. These captivating, contemporary, photographic artworks will hold the observer in their powerful grip – and won't let go until nature has been experienced.

Nancy Pavelich
Most William & Mary students enter Banner through the undergraduate admission process. So needless to say, working with Banner is paramount for what we do. Banner is a great system but one that definitely has its own unique challenges and quirks. No one knows that better than those working for Information Technology (IT). This month's Toasted by Admission award winner, Nancy Pavelich, serves as the Banner security administrator for the campus and as the report distribution software manager. The admission dean staff is all too familiar with both programs.
Pavelich has been working at W&M since 1990 when we merely had a Computer Center. Over the past two plus decades, she has made her way from Production Control to Information Technology. When Banner was implemented she became its security administrator.
Given the condensed time with which the admission team specifically is tasked with creating, updating and working with prospective student records, our office needs to be able to make the best use of Banner possible in a rather limited amount of time and Pavelich allows us to do just that.
Betsy Quinziowho nominated Pavelich for August's award told the entire admission staff, "Often we look to [Pavolich] to help us resolve any problem we are experiencing and [she] ALWAYS come through swiftly for us with patience, professionalism and courtesy. Among [her] many duties is helping us unravel the mystery of user classes, security profiles and permissions for Banner. When new staff throughout the college require access to admission data [she] answers our many questions and guides us through this process as if [she] has nothing else to do. We know we can always count on [her] prompt assistance and more importantly we can count her kindness and thoroughness."
Pavelich's work allows her to work with people from various roles and offices across campus. She jokes that she has gotten the opportunity, if nothing else, to memorize A LOT of WMuserids. Well, this week's Toasted by Admission celebration will give her the opportunity to know 12 more (and the faces behind them). And it will give us the opportunity to not only grant her honorary admission but also to know her userid as well.

Buffalo Sabres forward Patrick Kaleta reportedly was scheduled for a disciplinary hearing Monday afternoon to determine if further punishment is warranted following his check from behind Sunday to New York Rangers center Brad Richards.
According to ESPN, the hearing will be held via telephone, meaning any suspension Kaleta might receive cannot exceed five games.
"It's probably one of the most dangerous hits I've ever seen," Rangers coach John Tortorella told reporters after the game. "It's ridiculous."
Richards stayed on the ice for several minutes before slowly skating off, later returning to the game.
Kaleta was given a five-minute major and a game misconduct for the hit, which took place in the third period at Madison Square Garden with the Sabres leading 1-0. The Rangers went on to win the game in a shootout, 3-2.
On Monday, Kaleta admitted that he felt like a "bag of garbage" for putting his team in a bad spot, but he was not willing to accept the accusations that he can't be a honest player. In fact, Kaleta feels he has significantly changed his game.
"I have changed my game. I know I have," said Kaleta, according to Pro Hockey Talk, "and I know players have seen that, and even referees have come up and said, 'Hey, I respect what you've done so far, and as long as you keep showing that respect towards us, then we'll respect you.' I loved hearing that, knowing that they've seen a change in my game. So I know I've changed my game."

A final-year undergraduate girl student on Friday surrendered after killing her brother-in-law who attempted to sexually assault her.
The girl, studying BCom in a private college in the city, went to the Madhavaram police station along with her sister and confessed to having killed her brother-in-law by stabbing him in his neck using a kitchen knife. When a police team reached their apartment, they found Mathew Vinu Raj (35) dead in a pool of blood.
In the wee hours of Friday, Mathew locked his wife in a room and barged into his sister-in-law's room and forced himself on her, police said. Mathew's 8-year-old son was asleep in another room.
"The girl tried to protect herself for long and then took out a kitchen knife and threatened Mathew to leave the room. As he was unrelenting, she first stabbed him on his head. But that proved futile. She then stabbed him in the neck," said inspector K Krishnamoorthy.
The girl had been staying with her sister's family at Madhavaram for the last seven years after both of her parents died.
Mathew, a native of Kerala, married the girl's sister after courting her for a few years. He initially agreed to his wife's sister staying in his house, but soon started physically assaulting her.
The girl on Friday surrendered to police in Madhavaram.
"He used to verbally abuse and beat his wife and sister-in-law. The girl said he started making sexual advances towards her in the last two months. She had to suffer in silence as she had no one to support her," said deputy commissioner S Vimala.
In a rare case, the Madhavaram police booked the girl under the milder IPC Section 304 (Culpable homicide not amounting to murder), and released her on bail. "She killed him in an act of self-defence," said an officer. Police seek exemption under IPC section 100, which makes killing a person not an offence, if it was for self-defence.

The comment box is missing on the Battier piece. I don't know about Battier. I think I kind of think maybe he would be sorta okay for a while yet, but 5 years is unequivocably too long as Royce points out.
Any updates on the Westbrook negots?
Any word on Pleiss? Should we trade his rights?
I think Chris Douglass Roberts should be on our radar. I believe it was he that flirted with a triple double last year and has played marvelous defense on Bron. hes a versatile 2/3, a more offense version of Sef?

Assembled by former TV-commercial producer Ivan Shapovalov after auditioning 100s of candidates at Moscow's Mostfilm studios, Tatu (aka Taty) comprised Julia Olegovna Volkova (aka Julia Volkova; born 1985) and Elena Sergeevna Katina (aka Lena Katina; born 1984). Named after an internationally fashionable word, the teen-pop duo delivered captivating melodies and controversial lyrics and Tatu signed up to Universal Music Russia on May 16, 2001. Their debut single, "Ya Soshla s Uma," (I've Lost My Mind), based on a story about a lesbian affair between two young girls, became their first smash, gaining international exposure through MTV (Top Five on the most requested videos chart). After issuing a second single called "Nas Ne Dogoniat," (They Won't Catch Us), their album 200 Po Ustrechnoi (Driving 200 Miles in the Opposite Lane) was locally released. Drago Bonacich

January 10, 2009 - Janet DelTurco
Just yesterday I sent in a column for next week lamenting that we still had no real ground-covering fall of snow this winter. Immediately it started to snow, and is still at it this morning. I will have to be careful what I wish for! It is so much better for the garden to have a nice even blanket of snow to insulate the soil and keep the temperature pretty even below ground, no matter how it fluctuates up here. When there is no snow to speak of, the freeze/thaw cycle shifts the soil and may heave up roots out of the ground where they can be damaged. Much better hidden below. I have a lot I could be doing today, but somehow I am hypnotized by the steady snowfall, and sit here playing on the computer and just looking out of the window. I was going to get all dressed up and go outside and shovel, but three different neighbors have done that for me this morning. Living on a corner lot means that there is a lot of shoveling to be done, but it also doubles the number of nice neighbors. Patrick, my youngest grandson shoveled for me twice yesterday while he was here after school, but today I am on my own as my oldest grandson has gone to work in my truck. I don't drive in this kind of weather, so it all works out. The garden is in my thoughts these days, making plans for the spring. I cleaned out the front flower bed pretty well this fall, removing a lot of nuisance plants like lily of the valley, chameleon plant and evening primrose, as well as old chrysanthemums that were no longer attractive. It amazes me to think that at one time I bought all those plants, and they all got out of hand. Now they are gone there will be space to fill this spring, and an opportunity to change things. Just like moving the furniture in my bedroom and living room, which I do several times a year. And the old forsythia came down and I will need a new shrub, unless I decide to let it grow back from the stump that remains. As usual I brought too many plants inside for the winter, but they are doing better this year. Even the rosemary looks healthy so far. The geraniums that are bare rooted dormant in the basement are putting out some leaves already, but it is too early to give them any attention yet, and I will ignore them for another six weeks or so. I could keep rambling on here, but this is too boring for anyone to read, so I will summon up my will power and get my desk cleared up, or empty the dishwasher or some other good work.

As I pulled up the overgrown weeds from the vegetable garden last week, I watched while thousands of seeds from the spent flowers flew in all directions and landed on top of the soil.
At one point I tried to scoop up as many as I could, but I knew it was a lost cause. I realized with dismay, I would be fighting the evil Hairy Galinsoga for as long as I will likely be gardening. That translates to forever.
My only satisfaction was in knowing the final remains of this horrible plant would be cooking on my compost pile. Basically, if I can't beat it, I will eat it. Next year the broken down remains of this weed will be used to feed my soil in the spring.
I know what you're thinking. You're thinking I shouldn't be putting those plants on my compost pile because that will only spread even more seeds next year. Maybe. But if my compost pile heats up properly with the correct layering of dry and wet materials, an occasional turning and just enough moisture, I just might be able to render those seeds non-viable.
It's a risk I'm willing to take to get lots of rich compost. The benefits will well outweigh the potential weeds. I'm going to be fighting the weeds anyway. A few more won't make much difference.
Hairy Galinsoga is a common problem with vegetable gardeners, although I haven't talked to many who have quite our problem. Every gardener seems to have a problem weed. I've heard from some who fight pigweed and others who complain about purslane.
In our fight with Hairy Galinsoga, we can host a marathon weeding session, radically eliminating every detectable plant, and within three days a carpet of green seedlings will cover the entire garden. When very young, we cut them off just under the soil with our favorite tool, a long-handled winged weeder.
I love this tool. They come with short handles too, but those are more for people who get down on their knees in densely planted flower gardens. Our long handled weeder is perfect for weeding an entire row in a few minutes and an entire garden in less than an hour. In addition to having a signature weed, each gardener usually also has a favorite weeding tool.
Every day, at least once, we go out to the garden and use the winged weeder. About three or four times a week, we hand-pull the weeds that insist on growing alongside our precious plants. We get them small so they don't disturb the plants' tender roots and sometimes we cut them rather then pull them out to avoid pulling the plant out too. Fighting weeds in the garden is a constant battle, but if done correctly, it can be therapeutic and not as time consuming as you might think.
In August of 2004, the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs named Hairy Galinsoga the ''problem weed of the month.'' You wouldn't think this plant could be such a problem because it only spreads by seeds and it is an annual. It doesn't spread underground like quackgrass. It doesn't come back year after year and it has shallow roots that don't require the use of a spade or other tool to pry it out of the ground.
But turning the soil to make furrows for planting turns up hundreds of new seeds. Seeds that were hiding underground, waiting for the chance to germinate. The problem with this weed is the enormous numbers of seeds each flower produces and the persistence of each and every seed to germinate.
I don't know how this plant found my garden. My neighbors don't seem to have this problem. It may have come in on a wayward plant a very long time ago. We might have brought seeds to our yard on the bottom of our shoes or clinging to our pantlegs.
This year was exceptionally difficult. At the end of summer, just as the Hairy Galinsoga was starting to gain ground, I had surgery on my hand, which prevented me from getting into the garden for regular control.
I felt more than a bit smug last week when I walked to the garden after a few nights of killing frost to see the remaining plants had turned brown and withered. But they, too, will be pulled out and tossed onto the compost heap, hopefully before the garden is buried under snow.

We evaluated 15 group practices in general internal medicine in university hospitals with regard to access to and quality of care, patients' satisfaction with that care, and quality of residency education provided. We used these data to speculate about potential changes in ambulatory care programs in university teaching hospitals. All 15 practices participated for 4 years. One third of their patient population had no medical insurance. Practice patients had twice as many chronic illnesses as did the general population, and two fifths of patients stayed at least 2 years in the practice. Few faculty members spent more than 14 hours weekly in the practices, and housestaff worked an average of 4 hours per week. Patient waiting times did not meet ideal standards, but patient satisfaction was higher than in a general population. Compliance with quality of care criteria was not exceptional; for example, 10% of eligible patients received an annual influenza vaccination. Housestaff assigned a relatively low ranking to their educational experience in the practices. We recommend the institution of additional experimental programs in ambulatory care and housestaff education to improve the quality of care in the ambulatory setting.

Album Review
Most tribute albums pay their respects to artists that were identified with a particular sound, which makes all of the new versions quite disappointing.
Till the Night Is Gone: A Tribute to Doc Pomus
avoids that problem, since the selected artists are paying tribute to a songwriter, not a performer.
Doc Pomus
wrote some of the greatest songs of the rock & roll era, including "Save the Last Dance for Me" and "This Magic Moment"; although definitive versions of these songs have been recorded, they are written well enough to be open to reinterpretation. On
Till the Night Is Gone
, a number of first-rate artists, including
Bob Dylan
Lou Reed
Los Lobos
, and
Shawn Colvin
, rework
' songs into their own distinct styles. Some of the songs fall flat --
's stark take on "Viva Las Vegas" is too stiff -- but all of the tracks show some degree of imagination, which makes
Till the Night Is Gone
one of the best tribute albums of 1995.
