Lygon Street is the centre of the action, and it was here, in the 1950s, that espresso bars first opened in Melbourne; exotic spots such as Toto's Pizza House had an unconventional allure in staid Anglo Melbourne, and the local intelligentsia soon made the street their second home. Victorian terraced houses provided cheap living, and this became the first of the city's "alternative" suburbs. These days, Carlton is no longer bohemian; its residents are older and wealthier and Lygon Street has gone definitively upmarket, though the smart fashion shops still jostle with bookshops and an abundance of Italian restaurants and cafés. Lygon Street itself is the obvious place to explore, but the elegant architecture also spreads eastwards to Drummond Street, Carlton Gardens, Rathdowne and Nicholson streets.

100 Years of Irritation
The 100th anniversary of the excavation at Tell el Amarna in 1912 and it's most important discovery, the bust of an unknown royal Amarna woman believed to be Queen Nefertiti. The Neues museum is celebrating the anniversary of their most famous lady.
The bust has been at the center of controversy ever since as Egyptian authorities believe it belongs in it's national museum in Cairo.

Saying thank you and giving gifts, says Angeles Arrien in Gratitude, are cross-cultural, so common they may not even be noticed for their true importance. Anyone who's ever had their life saved by a stranger or had a friend ready to step in and support them at a critical juncture knows just how spiritually profound such gratitude can be. At the same time, losing one's "attitude of gratitude" can make the world seem small, petty, and unjust.
A cultural anthropologist and transpersonal psychology expert, Dr. Arrien has accumulated a lot of wisdom on the subject of gratitude and relates it during three hours of quality listening on this Gratitude set. She may cover a lot of ground, but what's so wonderful about Dr. Arrien's style is the easy, conversational tone that makes the time fly by, making it ideal for long car rides or walks in the woods. Gratitude is full of rich and relevant quotes from authors, scientists, philosophers, and poets from throughout history, including Albert Einstein, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry Ward Beecher ("The unthankful heart discovers no mercies"), and Meister Eckhart ("If the only prayer you ever say is thank you, it will be enough").
For each disc, Dr. Arrien explores a different aspect of gratitude—the blessings, the mercies, and the protections. She also describes four universal addictive behaviors and how we can turn them around to experience the potential gratitude: addiction to intensity, perfection, control, and fixation on "what's not working" can be transformed to their flip sides of humility, wisdom, patience, trust, and flexibility.
It's easy to become enthralled by the deep reverent humility of Dr. Arrien. Her own grateful bliss spills out contagiously in every sentence she speaks, her sweet voice trembling with the power of Gratitude. Let her humility and grace into your heart, and feel your own thankfulness come gushing in like a flood of warm bliss. The potential to be happy through selfless giving and the recognition of all that's been done to help us get to this point and time is in all of us, and it almost goes without saying but Gratitude makes a great gift.

The Los Angeles Times; Los Angeles, CA; Jul 21, 2002
Brian Novis was 33 and not one to give up easily. He made the rounds of medical libraries, researching multiple myeloma, an incurable cancer of the marrow in which uncontrolled growth of plasma cells dissolves surrounding bones and tissues. He enlisted the help of Dr. Brian Durie, one of the country's foremost myeloma researchers, and they created a foundation to fund research, share information and provide support for patients living beneath the shroud of the disease.
The disease pursued him relentlessly. For the next four years, [Susie Novis] watched him die, his bones disintegrating until the former soccer player shrank from 5 feet 11 to 5 feet 2. From his hospital bed in their living room, he organized the first clinical conference for myeloma specialists. And though he had to strap on protective braces to hold his body together so he could walk, he made it to the group's first fund-raiser, in 1992 at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills. Most of the few hundred people in attendance were his personal friends.
"It used to be we'd say 'myeloma' and people would say 'Oh yeah, skin cancer' [called melanoma]," Novis said. "Now everywhere I go, somebody will ask what I do and I'll mention 'myeloma' and they know somebody who died from it."

I fielded the phone call impatiently. Another earnest PR agent, trying to interest me in her client's concern. This one wanted me to write about cancer, the kind of cancer that killed Ann Landers, an under-the-radar variety that too few people know about, and too many people fear.
I cut her off. Too busy, I told her. No one wants to read a column on disease. But she stopped me cold when she said the name: Multiple myeloma.
That's the cancer that killed my mom. The thief that stole my innocence, that left four children motherless, that has shadowed my life ever since.
"We're trying to do something to stop it," said the woman on the phone. And I let her ramble on because I couldn't speak. Because my heart still pounds and eyes grow moist whenever I think about this disease.
Like me, Susie Novis had never heard of multiple myeloma until its diagnosis shattered her dreams. She was an accomplished sales manager, engaged to be married to a successful young executive. They'd found the perfect home in Laurel Canyon and planned their lives down to the last detail.
"Brian wanted to increase his life insurance so he had to have a physical," Novis recalled. "Simple. He was young, healthy. But something was wrong with the blood work. The doctor called. 'You have multiple myeloma. You have three to five years to live,' he said."
But the disease pursued him relentlessly. For the next four years, Susie watched him die, his bones disintegrating until the former soccer player shrank from 5 feet 11 to 5 feet 2. From his hospital bed in their living room, he organized the first clinical conference for myeloma specialists. And though he had to strap on protective braces to hold his body together so he could walk, he made it to the group's first fund-raiser, in 1992 at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills. Most of the few hundred people in attendance were his personal friends.
Six months later, Brian was dead and Susie took over his legacy. Today, the International Myeloma Foundation in North Hollywood has 90,000 members in 64 countries--patients, doctors, caregivers, family members. Its hotline fields calls from all over the globe; it sponsors support groups in dozens of cities; its seminars around the world bring patients and their families together with doctors on the front lines in the fight against the disease.
There are no high-profile myeloma walks or rides or runs for the cure. The foundation has raised $3 million for research mostly through small events--garage sales, carwashes, fashion shows-- hosted by families touched by the disease.
The disease has no celebrity spokesperson like Magic Johnson or Michael J. Fox or Betty Ford. Its mortality rate is 100%, and the most famous person to die of myeloma--Eppie Lederer, known as Ann Landers--kept her six-month struggle with the cancer a secret.
But the swelling ranks of sufferers guarantee it won't stay secret for long. Although it is still relatively rare--the incidence rate is 29 per 100,000 among people 65 and older, and 2 per 100,000 for people younger than 65--myeloma is now considered one of the fastest-growing types of cancer in the world.
More than 14,000 new cases are diagnosed each year in this country as are 1,000 cases a day worldwide. And the number of doctors specializing in research and treatment has jumped from 200 10 years ago, to more than 1,000 today.
And it is no longer considered a disease of the elderly.
Myeloma was once almost unheard of among people younger than 65. But today, 10% to 15% of new cases are among those younger than 45.
That makes early treatment even more essential, so that patients can remain active and bone deterioration can be held at bay.
Much has changed since my family's ordeal 26 years ago. Then, there was no Internet, few clinical trials, scanty understanding of a disease that made my mother's bones so brittle, she was confined to bed and wracked with pain.
At 19, all I knew was that my mother had cancer; that there was nothing that could be cut off or removed, that she was going to die within a few months if she didn't respond to treatment, and within a few years if she did. Eight months later, at 52, she was dead.
The gloomy prognosis hasn't changed much. The average life expectancy for those diagnosed with myeloma still hovers between three and five years. But the percentage of patients living longer is growing and the quality of their lives is much improved, particularly for those who detect their cancer early and start treatment before their bones are destroyed.
Promoting early identification of the disease is one of the foundation's primary missions, particularly among younger people, who tend to ignore or blame myeloma symptoms--such as bone pain and exhaustion--on overwork or injuries.
A marker of the disease--elevated levels of protein in the blood- -is relatively easy to spot in a blood test, and tests far more sophisticated than in my mother's day can help determine a course of treatment that can delay bone loss and minimize pain.
"But chances are if you're a 40-year-old and you have back pain, you're going to go to an orthopedist or a chiropractor," Novis said. "You're not going to see your family doctor and ask for a blood test 'because I think I might have cancer.' "
Unless, that is, you are someone like me, who runs to the doctor at the slightest sign that my bones, like my mother's, have begun to give way. "It changes your life," I tell Novis, over lunch. She nods and her face flushes with pain, and we share a long silence full of hard lessons and cruel memories--and hope that, as Brian used to say, "one person can make a difference, and two can make a miracle."

Ha! If only I could limit my benders to one per year, I'd be golden.
Glad you had a good time! Now if you could kindly courier me a tub of this tart blood orange sorbetto of which you speak...
OK. This has been a two day bender (Paleobird style). I invented the yummiest drink, EVAHHHH! I had some tart blood orange sorbetto and some leftover red wine and I put them together and made sort of a sangria flavored root beer float. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh.
I also have a friend who had her birthday today so I continued the indulgences at her party tonight complete with homemade brownies and more red wine. I feel naughty. And I like it.
No regrets. I think a once per year bender is a good thing. Back on the Primal path tomorrow.
Ha! If only I could limit my benders to one per year, I'd be golden.
Glad you had a good time! Now if you could kindly courier me a tub of this tart blood orange sorbetto of which you speak...
I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best.

I also had kind of a "vegetable re-feed" this past few days due to partying with veg or semi-veg friends where a big salad is the only real food option around. I don't like it. I'm going back to carnivorousness . I just feel like I'm carrying around 10 extra lbs of fermenting fiber and the little critters who live on such fermentation have had a party and started reproducing like microscopic bunnies so now I have to carry all of them around as well. Hitchhiking freeloaders. I want my colon back.
Anyway, yesterday on my third piled-high plate of meat I thought "PB would approve."
Funny thing, my hubs asked for more veggies with dinner because I've been eating one portion of either salad, green beans, or brussels. So I oblige him, but I find all I crave is meat. I eat a little veg for the push through effect but I don't crave it.
I am doing rockin' good. Thanks for asking. Defined my passion and mission statement since choosing to let go of control freak mentality. Allow, let go, don't worry, repeat!
I'm glad you are learning to let go of the worry. Raised cortisol can stop weight/health progress faster than a bag of Doritos.
Well, I think I have finally made up my mind where I want to live. The two story townhouse comes out the winner. I looked at a few other places in the past week but I found out that there was an ordinance passed sometime in the 90s here prohibiting fireplaces in the downtown area. Well, my little spot was built in the 80s and has a real fireplace. The other ones boast "fireplaces" but they are really just a decorative little thing that doesn't even put out any heat. The one at my new place is gas but at least it is really producing heat. I saw two buildings yesterday that were exactly what I had thought I wanted, high rise with all the "amenities" but they just felt cold and disconnected from the earth.
How are things progressing on the sale of your house?
Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.
The buyers were also here today to take measurements, doing the same thing I'm doing with my new apartment of seeing what will fit and where.
I am confident that these buyers are not going to flake on me. They are really committed to this and exited about their new home.

Swaps uncertainty reigns despite revised CFTC deadline
European derivatives trading platforms are still unclear about how to meet strict US rules that will allow them to continue accepting business from US firms, despite the Commodity Futures Trading Commission giving them more time to demonstrate compliance.
Operators of European platforms, the vast majority of which are based in London and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, were initially given until March 24 to make their platforms compatible with US rules and register them with the CFTC, the lead US derivatives regulator.
On Friday this deadline was extended until May 15 after venues — known in Europe as multilateral trading facilities — told the CFTC they would struggle to meet yesterday's deadline.
The CFTC told the European venues that it would provide more detail about the conditions it set for MTFs to achieve recognition under the Dodd-Frank Act.
But there are fears that the changes could be extensive and leave some MTFs struggling to meet the revised May deadline.
Dan Marcus, global head of strategy and business development at Tradition, which runs derivatives venues in the US and Europe, said: "There are gaps between [US derivatives venues known as] swap execution facilities and MTFs. SEF rules are long and prescriptive, while the MTF rules are short and are based on a principles approach. I still don't know what exactly what will be required to become recognised as a qualifying MTF. We await further guidance from the CFTC."
A spokeswoman for the CFTC said further guidance was forthcoming, but was unable to provide a timeframe.
According to MTF operators, one of the main issues is whether they will be governed by national regulators, the CFTC, or a combination of the two. This will affect regulatory requirements such as surveillance, pre-trade credit checks and legal definitions.
To determine the legal differences between US SEFs and European MTFs, the FCA and MTF operators asked Clifford Chance to conduct a gap analysis. This was used to assess any changes the FCA needs to make in its oversight of the venues.
Alex McDonald, chief executive at the Wholesale Markets Brokers' Association, said: "The recognition of European venues under US rules is still a work in progress. It is clear that both the CFTC and FCA are working hard to achieve this recognition, but re-engineering the MTF regime to bring it closer to the SEF regime requires a lot of work."
A spokeswoman for the FCA said the regulator would continue to work closely with the CFTC to minimise overlaps or conflicts in global derivatives regulation.
As per their G20 commitments agreed in 2009, US and European regulators are in the process of implementing widespread changes to OTC derivatives markets to make them safer and more transparent.
The rules include a requirement for swaps to be traded on electronic markets, processed through clearing houses and reported to newly created repositories. However, the lack of coordination between the US and European rules has restricted the ability of US and European firms to trade with each other.
The temporary recognition of MTFs by the CFTC would last until Europe has finalised its own rules for derivatives trading platforms, which are expected to come into force at the end of 2016 under the second version of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive.
In late January, the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, a trade body representing derivatives market participants, released a study that showed a decrease in the number of European dealers trading with US banks.
Matt Woodhams, head of eCommerce, Europe, the Middle East and Africa at interdealer broker GFI Group, said: "There has been a good collaborative effort so far between the FCA, CFTC and MTF operators to figure out how to achieve US recognition and this work is ongoing. However, there are questions on whether achieving US recognition will be enough to stop the fragmentation of liquidity we are starting to see in the swap market."

Early human studies substantiate thyrocalcitonin's theorized value as a preventive force in bone resorption.
Data from both England and France increase hope that the newly-isolated thyroid hormone has clinical value, the American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics was told recently.
In addition, a deeper understanding of the substance has shown it to be the product of a "previously unrecognized" secretory system within the thyroid.
"Although thyrocalcitonin's clinical value in treating osteoporosis, for instance, is still theoretical... it has upset completely the traditional view of calcium homeostasis," Alexander D. Kenny, PhD, commented for JAMAMedical News.
Dr. Kenny chaired a special symposium on thyrocalcitonin at the ASPET meeting in Mexico City. He is professor of pharmacology at West Virginia University School of Medicine.
In 1962, investigators at the University of British Columbia published evidence for a factor tending to lower blood calcium levels. However, the Canadians believed it came

Treasury Diagnostic Toolkit is part of the World Bank Working Paper series. These papers are published to communicate the results of the Bank's ongoing research and to stimulate public discussion. Improvement in the management of public finances in developing countries has been an increasingly important focus of World Bank and IMF assistance to member countries. A key element of such assistance is the development of effective treasury systems, which form the backbone for recording and processing all financial transactions related to government budgets. The establishment of an effective, integrated treasury system helps manage public monies with greater financial control, improved monitoring, better planning, better fiscal reporting, and better data for budget formulation, while also improving transparency and accountability of government. This toolkit consists of three parts: (1) a treasury systems questionnaire to be used as a diagnostic tool in assessing the status of treasury functions, (2) a costing model using information in the aforementioned questionnaire to estimate the likely costs of a comprehensive investment program, and (3) an application software questionnaire intended to help managers select appropriate application software, focusing on treasury-specific requirements.

The Cabinet resolution took immediate effect.
Information Communications and Technology Minister Sitthi-chai Pookaiyaudom, said yesterday the Cabinet had endorsed ending the 2003 resolution that imposed excise tax of 2 per cent and 10 per cent for fixed telephone and cellular services, respectively.
It also approved Sitthichai's proposal to have all telecom concessions reviewed by the Council of State, the government's legal advisory arm, to see if their development and amendments comply with relevant laws.
The levying of telecom excise is mentioned in the white paper of the Council for National Security as a policy corruption, which was cited as one of the reasons for the coup against the Thaksin government.
Sitthichai said revoking of excise was based on the reality that telecom services were no longer a luxury but a basic necessity.
The Thaksin government introduced two royal decrees in early 2003 to impose the telecom excise. Later it passed a resolution to allow private telecom operators to deduct part of their concession fees to be paid as excise directly to the government, before sharing the remaining fee with their concession owners, TOT or CAT Telecom.
Both state agencies, including new telecom entrants licensed by the National Telecommunica-tions Commission (NTC), have also been subjected to the excise tax.
As a result of the 2003 resolution, the total regulatory fees of the private telecom firms have remained unchanged. But TOT and CAT have suffered a huge loss in concession revenues estimated by both state agencies to be around Bt50 billion.
Yesterday's Cabinet move will see all telecom operators resume paying full concession fees to TOT or CAT.
Sitthichai said it depended on TOT and CAT if they would claim the Bt50-billion loss from telecom operators.
However, Finance Minister MR Pridiyathorn Devakula said both state telecom agencies could not spend part of the concession fee, to be gained after the new excise rate, on employee bonuses or pay raises.
Moreover, the ministry, which owns 100 per cent of both state agencies, will ask them to increase the revenue proportion they have returned to the ministry each year.
A telecom analyst estimated that TOT and CAT would receive an additional Bt9.4 billion and Bt13 billion in concession fees, respectively, this year under the changed system.
The analyst said that Advanced Info Service (AIS) was expected to pay a full concession fee of around Bt20 billion this year, while DTAC was tipped to pay around Bt10 billion, and True Move around Bt5 billion.
Sigve Brekke, chief executive of the second largest cellular operator Total Access Communication (DTAC), said his firm welcomed the Cabinet resolution on the new telecom excise rate, which meant telecom services had been acknowledged as a basic infrastructure for everyone.
Wichian Mektakarn, president of the largest cellular operator AIS, said the new excise did not affect it, as last year it paid Bt8.5 billion in excise and Bt12 billion in concession fees.
In a related matter, the ICT minister said after the Council of State finished examining the telecom concessions, he would find a way to share revenue fairly between private telecom operators and the state agencies.

hey! really? lets get drunk!
hey! really? lets get drunk!
Geez thanks guys! I'm okay. Thanks for the PMs too, its nice to have the empathy, support
I was just feeling down. You know it was stupid, someone was a bit dismissive of me, probably for reasons unrelated to me, so I felt bad, so drowned it in red wine, self loathing kicked in. hate myself for having no discipline. rinse. repeat.
Being overweight leads to self hate leads to self destructive behaviour and more self loathing.
And I keep thinking if I kept on track with my first primal attempt, I would be "normal" by now. Oh...sigh. It is such a long path and so easy to lose hope.
anyway I appreciate the good vibes and wish I had logged in earlier, may have pepped me up sooner.
and yes, Betorq, Walking Dead is sooooo awesome
Thanks for dropping by Betorq and KerryK
and for the other kind words and offers Amber, Daniel and lambus-chopus
Therapists over the world could abandon their posts and put up smiley faces on their doors and tell patients to just go away and be positive
Try go for a walk or listen to some upbeat music and dance - try something active before committing to wine and feeling bad. Just force yourself for 10 minutes, hun. Try it.
I cannot believe Walking Dead was on mainstream tv. Very awesome!
Get the negative talk, you know it is a cycle, turn it around! You know you are tough.
Thanks Honeybuns, wish it was that easy. Depression and self sabotage isn't really a choice. I will try hard though! A dance or walk is a good idea, thanks lambchops.
The Walking Dead is just awesomeballs, Daniel, so true. I love it sooo much. Such a good idea to put an apocalypse as a series, so much to fit in 90 mins.
Went to see Prometheus on weekend. WTF? It was visually amazing but so many unecessary elements. The angst and tension between the owner of the corp and Charlize character. why? pointless. in fact, both roles didn't need to exist. The android's ability to reverse engineer a language of aliens, a stretch. But the thing that annoyed me was the religious element, the 'I need to know their maker' carry on of the main character. wtf? can't you just be amazed to find life onanother planet with human DNA? Wouldn't it be enough to find evidence of that life, and a taste of what wiped it out. don't get me started on how they found the planet. Sigh...it could have been great.

|American Muslim Extremists Target U.S. Military
Updated: November 2011
Military installations and personnel in the U.S. remain primary targets for American citizens influenced by the radical ideologies propagated by Islamic terrorist movements overseas. Of the six planned attacks in the U.S. thus far in 2011, four targeted military personnel or installations.
In June, 2011, two men were arrested for an alleged plot to attack the Military Entrance Processing Station in Seattle. Abu Khalid Abdul-Latif and Walli Mujahidh allegedly planned to attack the military recruiting station using automatic weapons and grenades. Abdul-Latif, who served in the U.S. Navy in the 1990s, compared his plot to the 2009 shooting at the Fort Hood Army base in Texas by army psychiatrist Nidal Hasan, which left 12 soldiers and one civilian dead and 32 others injured. According to the criminal complaint, Abdul-Latif told the informant that "If one person could kill so many people, three attackers could kill many more."
Nidal Hasan inspired another plot in 2011; on July 27, Private First Class Naser Jason Abdo was arrested and charged for allegedly planning a similar attack against Fort Hood military personnel. Abdo, who apparently tried to emulate Hasan, purchased ammunition and gun powder at the same store where Hasan bought his weapons. As Abdo was leaving his first court appearance in July, he yelled "Nidal Hasan Fort Hood 2009." In an interview given after his arrest, Abdo claimed he originally planned to kidnap and videotape the execution of one of his commanding officers at Fort Campbell. He also said that he thought he would only see freedom from the military through martyrdom.
A search of Abdo's motel room turned up a large supply of ammunition, weapons and what an FBI agent has described as "some components which could be considered bomb-making materials." An article from Inspire, Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula's English-language magazine, on "How to "Make a Bomb in the Kitchen of Your Mom" was also found in the room.
The same article from Inspire allegedly influenced Jose Pimentel, a naturalized U.S. citizen who was arrested in November 2011 for a plot targeting military personnel returning from abroad. Like Abdo, he used the article to guide his bomb making, purchasing components for the bomb it pictured, according to the criminal complaint. Pimentel also posted videos showing alleged atrocities committed by soldiers and called for the government to warn all civilians living in or working at "all military… facilities" about the heightened dangers of living there."
Two months before the Pimentel arrest, Rezwan Matin Ferdaus was arrested in Massachusetts for planning an attack on the Pentagon and Capitol with explosives-packed model airplanes in order to "disable their [the American] military center." Ferdaus allegedly also contemplated targeting a military base in Colorado, according to court documents. The stated goal of his planned attack was to "disable their military center," so that "once we cut off the military, we can take care of the politicians…"
Attacks targeting the military have resulted in the only two deadly jihad-motivated incidents in the United States since September 11. In addition to the 2009 shooting at Fort Hood, on June 1, 2009, Abdulahakim Mujahid Muhammad shot two uniformed American soldiers, killing one of them, at a military recruiting center in Little Rock, Arkansas. In an interview following his arrest, Muhammad reportedly said he wanted revenge for the American military presence in Iraq and Afghanistan. Muhammad also warned that other Muslims in this country "are going to attack."
Both deadly attacks demonstrate the particular danger posed by "lone wolf" extremists who, though unaffiliated with terrorist groups, nevertheless share their ideological goals.
The following is a sampling of plots against military targets in the U.S. by American Muslim extremists and their collaborators over the past several years.
Foreign nationals have also plotted attacks against military targets in the U.S. For example, in September 2009, Hosam Maher Husein Smadi, a Jordanian national charged with attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction against a Dallas skyscraper, also identified military targets, including recruiting centers and the National Guard Armory in Dallas, Texas, according to court documents.
The following is a sampling of former American military personnel, all of whom are Muslim converts, who have been charged or convicted on terror-related charges in the U.S.
Another notable incident occurred in 2003, when Sergeant Hasan Akbar, an American convert to Islam, killed two American soldiers and injured 14 others in a grenade and rifle attack at a U.S. military base in Kuwait. According to prosecutors, Akbar wanted to stop American soldiers from killing his fellow Muslims.

Can anyone tell me an easy way to do this?
I think it's with tables or layers, but I'm not sure.
I think it's with tables or layers, but I'm not sure.

Re: Placing text over images in DreamweaverFri, June 16, 2006 - 1:18 PMone very easy way is to use absolutely positioned layers and use the z-index to set one layer in front of the other layer. in dreamweaver, you can just draw one layer on top of another layer. the layers palette lets you play with z-indexes. dreamweaver automatically does the positioning calculation for you as you move the layers around.
Re: Placing text over images in DreamweaverSun, June 18, 2006 - 9:22 AMJust put the image as your background image in the style sheet and the text will be on top of it by default.

Complaints logged were the usual nuisances such as noisy parties, barking dogs, etc. PRESENTATION OF THE DRAFT NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN BY ARNOLD COGAN, PRINCIPAL OF COGAN-OWENS-COGAN, WITH ASSISTANCE FROM BRYON BROWN, W.L. PLANNING DIRECTOR. Note: the following is a rough summary of the dialogue as hand-written in real time by HSNA Secretary, C.R. Lytle, who is NOT a stenographer! Because the discussion was often heated and rapid-fire and because several people were often talking at once, this portion of the meeting minutes is not complete and must be taken as a general synopsis of the discussion, not as a literal transcription. HOWEVER, the presence of quotation marks indicates that these statements were written down verbatim. The entire meeting was video taped, and copies of this tape can be made available for those interested in checking the record. Arnold Cogan (AC): AC began the discussion with an overview of the entire neighborhood plan process, including how the vision statement was created. Explained that the Plan will go first to the Planning Commission and then to the City Council. If approved, it will become part of the Comprehensive Plan. Reviewed the goals, policies, and actions section and then reviewed the action charts, which contain time lines and parties responsible for taking action(s). Stressed that all of the neighborhood plans were to be considered dynamic, that is, they may be updated and/or changed in the future. HSNA President Lynn Fox (LF): Noted that no process is currently in place for when and how changes and updates can be made. Bryon Brown (BB): BB stated that the City is interested in conducting annual reviews of the plans, with complete revisions every five or ten years, as the situation warrants. All four of the plans in process have many action items, and the City can't rapidly implement all of them. The process will take several years. Controversial items will take extra time for review, and cost will always be an important factor. If certain items have high costs, they would have to go through the budget committee to see if funds could be made available. LF: Read an e-mail protesting the proposed traffic change at Santa Anita and Appaloosa Way. Felt that this was a symptom of the entire neighborhood plan process being rushed (four at once, expedited timeline). Also felt that the short timeline prevented outreach efforts and resulted in too few people becoming engaged in the process. The result is that the plan is okay "to a point," but significant concerns haven't been addressed. HSNA Minutes November 21, 2006 Meeting Page 2 HSNA Member Gary Heitsman (GH): GH felt that the plan was a good start and was better than having nothing. Also felt that the City did a good job with the whole process. Was worried in the beginning that the plan would be too vague but now feels that it has a good, basic structure. LF: Still concerned that not enough HSN citizens were involved. GH: Felt that this was just a symptom of a large number of people who do not get involved in political issues, period. Emphasized that the plan was a good start. HSNA Member Bob Thomas (BT): Asked if sending postcards to HSN residents was a part of the Cogan-Owens-Cogan (COC) outreach -scope of work? LF: Yes, it's on the audio tape made at one of the Neighborhood Plan Leadership Team (NPLT) meetings. AC: Adamant that a direct mailing was not part of the scope of work. BB: "We've heard all of this before. The City should be recognized for all its efforts and desire to have neighborhood plans. Citizens don't appreciate how unique all of this is." Not aware of anybody, anywhere doing this kind of citizen involvement. LF: (Held up a bound copy of the Lake Oswego Neighborhood Planning Kit.) BB: Agreed that it would be difficult to get every issue right the first time. The idea of annual reviews was to adjust the plans, address deficiencies, allow for changes. The Council was in agreement that the earlier neighborhood plans (e.g., Willamette) took too long and wanted to expedite the process. Can't let criticisms, such as the traffic items, slow down the process. GH: Pointed out that process and technical details are two different aspects of the plan. HSNA Member Charles Roberts (CR): Council talked about whether the plans were aspirational or to be taken as directives to Council. BB: They are both. The vision statements are aspirational, and the policies and actions are directives. The Council cannot be held to implement every single action item in the plans. Also, some action items will probably have to be modified following citizen input down the line. CR: Concerned that the plans will be adopted and then sit on a shelf and be ignored. BB: This will not happen. However, the implementation of action items will take some time. LF: What happened to the NPLT request for an R-10 overlay? BB: The WL Planning Department feels this is not the right way to go about controlling density. The Willamette NP contains an overlay because the neighborhood has business/residency transition zones. BT: Took exception to BB's attitude that the four neighborhood associations should consider themselves lucky because the City has deigned to allow them to have plans. Also disagreed with the conclusion that an overlay zone is inappropriate for Hidden Springs. Said it could be done. Wanted to slow down the whole process. Rushing causes errors and increases the chance to miss or gloss over important issues. Wanted to involve more people and felt that the rush to completion prevented the level of outreach that the seriousness of the plans demands. Also pointed out that Hidden Springs and Santa Anita are collector streets, not minor arterials as stated in the draft plan. Said that this mistake had been pointed out several times in NPLT meetings but the error was never corrected. HSNA Minutes November 21, 2006 Meeting Page 3 LF: Had talked with City staff on a number of occasions about this and was ignored. Felt that this was subterfuge dictated down to staff from Council. HSNA Member Doug Hawkins (DH): What will happen if the HSNA votes to not approve the plan? BB: City will "disadvantage the Hidden Springs Neighborhood Association." DH: "What in the world does that mean?" [BB gaveled down as out of order by LF after BB responded angrily and disrespectfully to DH. BB allowed to continue after order is restored.] BB: The City will find it difficult to provide further support in terms of staff time and materials. The allotted funds were for the consultant, and once the consultant's work is done, the contract is closed, and no more money is available through it. Staff will also be inclined to favor those neighborhoods who approved their plans. HSNA Secretary Chuck Lytle (CL): This is equivalent to the "odious deal" in the WW-II novel Catch 22. Translated the City position as "our way or the highway:" either give us back the answers we want or pay dearly down the road. DH: Asked what the COC will do if the HSNA voted down the plan? AC: Make the additions and corrections brought forward at this meeting, produce the final document, and turn it into the W.L. Planning Department. "COC gets paid regardless of what the HSNA does." LF: Noted that there were two issues at hand…lack of citizen involvement and changes made to the plan after the final NPLT meeting. COC changed the content of several sections, and these changes came after the NLPT approval. At this point, HSNA Member Gary Heitsman moved that the following resolution be adopted by the HSNA: "It is hereby resolved that the HSNA formally approve the Neighborhood Plan, understanding that is a good beginning and that the City will be asked to define the process to be used to further refine and improve the plan." Second To The Motion: Gretchen Katko Vote On The Motion: 3 Yea, 6 Nay, 0 Abstentions ? Motion Not Carried HSNA Member Chuck Lytle moved that the following resolution be adopted by the HSNA: "The HSNA membership directs the HSNPLT to continue working with the City, as much as the City will allow, to resolve the problems brought forth at this meeting, with the goal of completing the plan in the most expeditious manner and with the greatest citizen input possible." Second To The Motion: Harvey Schultz Vote On The Motion: 8 Yea, 1 Nay, 0 Abstentions ? Motion Carried HSNA Minutes November 21, 2006 Meeting Page 4 NEXT MEETING DATE TO BE JANUARY 16, 2007 Motion To Meet In January '07 and to skip December '06: Chuck Lytle Second To The Motion: Bob Thomas Vote On The Motion: 7 Yea, 0 Nay, 0 Abstention ? Motion Carried ADJOURNMENT. There being no other business to come before the membership, the meeting was adjourned at 10:45 PM by HSNA President Lynn C. Fox. RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED BY CHARLES R. LYTLE, HSNA SECRETARY. MINUTES APPROVED BY FORMAL MOTION AND VOTE AT THE DULY-CALLED MEETING OF FEBRUARY 20, 2007.

Why non-covered entities will want to vigorously implement ICD-10 coding
If there's no vigorous opposition, all of healthcare will be using ICD-10-CM/PCS codes after Oct. 1, 2013. Sort of.
It's more accurate to say all covered entities must use the ICD-10 coding system. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) explains it this way:
"All Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 covered entities MUST implement the new code sets with dates of service, or date of discharge for inpatients, that occur on or after October 1, 2013."
That means just about every healthcare provider and payer is a covered entity. But there are non-covered entities that are not required to switch. Entities such as worker's compensation, disability and auto insurers that do reimburse healthcare providers. HIPAA defines non-covered activities as:
"... coverage for accident, or disability income insurance, or any combination thereof; coverage issued as a supplement toliability insurance; liability insurance, including general liability insurance and automotive liability insurance; workers' compensation or similar insurance; automobile medical payment insurance; credit only insurance; coverage for on-site medical clinics; other similar insurance coverage,specified in regulations, under which benefits for medical care are secondary or incidental to other insurance benefits. See 42 U.S.C. 300gg-91(c)(1)."
If the non-covered entities don't want to switch to ICD-10 coding, they don't have to and can require healthcare providers to submit medical claims with ICD-9 codes. Which will create complications and headaches for providers.
[See also: Week in Review: How much injury can worker's compensation cause?]
The CMS recognizes this problems this can cause and has addressed it with this statement in the handout "ICD-10 Myths and Facts":
"Because ICD-9-CM will no longer be maintained after ICD-10-CM/PCS is implemented, it is in noncovered entities' best interest to use the new coding system. The increased detail in ICD-10-CM/PCS is of significant value to noncovered entities. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will work with noncovered entities to encourage their use of ICD-10-CM/PCS."
In another handout, "The ICD-10 Transition: Focus on Non-Covered Entities," the CMS defines best interest as:
- "Expanded detail in injury codes, which will help automobile insurance and worker's compensation program"
- "ICD-9 CM codes will no longer be maintained once ICD-10 has been implemented. The ICD-9 CM code set will become less useful and resources will be continually harder to obtain"
- "Not adopting to ICD-10 coding could lead to undue hardship for non-covered entities' provider"
Seems to me that insurers run on statistics. And the kind of granularity and specificity that ICD-10 opponents like to deride will generate the stats that insurers will use to set rates. For example, there are ICD-10 codes for injuries caused by just about every kind of sporting good. Why would it be important to know many head injuries are caused by hockey pucks or baseballs? Because schools with sports teams need to buy insurance. And those insurers will want to know how much they may have to pay for each sport.
Non-covered entities have too much to gain by using ICD-10 codes. That should be good news for healthcare providers. I don't see auto insurance and worker's compensation entities requiring ICD-9 codes when they can be capitalizing on the extra data found in ICD-10 codes.

Wing, No Prayer
Whoever decided to release a flock of caged white doves at the end of the Cowboys halftime show Thanksgiving Day no doubt intended them as symbols of peace during these unsettled times. Except they weren't doves. At least one was a pigeon.
How does Buzz know that? Because we located one of the "doves" at Rogers Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in Hutchins, where it was taking a bath in a nice bowl of water, mending an injured wing and no doubt still trying to settle its nerves after being subjected to a second half of watching the Cowboys' offense. A woman attending the game chased the hurt bird from under Texas Stadium seats and brought it to the center for care.
See, here's the thing about releasing white doves and/or pigeons in packed, noisy stadiums where the only birdie exit is a hole in the roof: It's a nice thought, but a dumb idea.
"Texas Stadium, that's a whole different environment...I'd venture to say 90 percent of them never made it out," says the center's Kathy Rogers.

Maybe. A co-worker of Buzz's attended the game and says he and other fans spent most of the second half watching white whatevers flutter about the stadium. They zipped into suites and were shooed out. They smacked into the nets at the end zone during point-after attempts.
Even those who made a break for it likely didn't fare well, Rogers says. Snow-white plumage on a small bird is nature's way of saying "eat me" to predators.
A Cowboy's spokeman says he knows of no injured birds and that some returned to their owner. We have a hint for the team, though, in case any bird-related extravaganzas are planned for next Thanksgiving: Domesticated turkeys can't fly. We know. We watched WKRP in Cincinnati.
Apparently, pigeons aren't the only injured birds winging about Texas Stadium these days. There are some wounded ducks, too. Check out this account from a story in The Dallas Morning News:
Rookie quarterback Quincy Carter has changed the way he grips the ball in hopes it will help him throw spirals more consistently...
"The ball is much bigger here in the NFL than it was in college," Carter said.
In related news, many new Cowboys players report that their NFL opponents are "much bigger and faster" than anticipated. Also, opposing coaches are "smarter than you'd think." To counteract this, coaches are encouraging players to run very fast.
And watch out for pigeon poop.

Joshi's debut novel is a Bildungsroman following the fortunes of Sindi Oberoi, a young boy of Indian descent. The story focuses principally on the period from his college years in the States to his subsequent move to India. Born in Kenya of an Kenyan-Indian father and an English mother, he is orphaned at the age of 4 when his parents die in an air crash and is left in the care of an uncle in Nairobi. Moved by an instinctual thrust towards self-accomplishment, he grows up free from any emotional link with country or family, a kind of attitude that he initially mistakes for detachment. As the truth of facts attest, however, this indifference to fate is but a mask which characterizes his mind and which he uses as a shield in order …
