Preston City Council Report: Plans approved for new water main system
Fri, Mar 21st, 2003
Posted in Features
Posted in Features
Joe Palen, an engineer with Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik and Associates, presented to the council plans and cost projections for Spring Avenue and Ridge Road Projects in conjunction with MnDOT's highway 52 design. The center of the plan is to replace an aging and undersized water main.
The proposed system commences at Center Street and would handle run-off from an area approximately 254 acres. The proposed pipe would be sixty-six inches in diameter and would have twice the capacity of the existing system. The smallest end of the pipe would be forty-eight inches in diameter where it would connect to a detention pond directly south of the Branding Iron Restaurant. Palen related that this is an expensive system and is designed to convey and carry a ten-year storm. The pipe has a �tremendous amount of capacity.� The system will work in conjunction with the two proposed ponds and possibly a third in the future. Water would be routed differently than it is currently; catch basins will route it on the other side of the highway. Palen also proposed that as many as five smaller items could be done more economically if completed in conjunction with this major construction. Construction of the new water main and the related catch basins are a prerequisite to the MnDOT project on highway 52. The cost splits between federal, state, county and city are complicated. The city's responsibility varies depending upon the classification of the street. The city will need to pay for most sanitary sewer, water main and utility services not associated with the storm sewer construction. The city pays for 38% of the storm sewer leads and catch basins on Kansas Street, Spring Avenue, Brownsville Street, and North Street. The costs on the construction of the aforementioned streets plus Ridge Road would be estimated at $146,297.05. Estimated utility construction including sanitary sewer, water main, utility service, and storm sewer, is $599,056.82. The total exposure for the City for the two projects is $745,353.87. Three ways to pay for the improvements were outlined by Palen: a general tax, assessment (usually 20%), and bonding or a combination of all three. He stressed the importance of the principle that 'assessments must be fair and equitable'. He proposed that he work with Fred Nagle to see what the assessments should be. According to the current state law, if the city has an assessment for at least 20% of the costs, the remaining monies can be bonded without a referendum. It was noted that a city can bond without any assessments, but this would require a general election. It was further noted that according to Governor Pawlenty's budget proposal, there would be a requirement for a referendum on all bonds regardless of any assessments. The possibility of a need for a public hearing was discussed. Palen stressed that the 52 project is contingent on Preston's storm sewer improvements. Palen also asked the council to give the go ahead for a feasibility report showing costs, solutions, and recommendations for several items related to the 52 project. Included is a detention pond north of the trailer court, Pleasant Street storm sewer, extension of Kansas Street to Franklin, extension of MnDOT storm sewer leads, infrastructure necessary as a result of 52 construction,, and existing water main and sewer crossings. Councilman Gartner suggested that whatever we do or decide we better not be cutting corners. Palen asked the council to approve three things: the plan and specifications, the go ahead for Palen to work with Nagle, city administrator, to determine assessment costs and options, and a feasibility study for related items as noted above. Approval was granted. Palen recommended a bonding agent be brought to the next meeting. If the project goes ahead as scheduled, construction will begin May of 2003. Other business �Steve Corson plans to develop the south half of the old football field to build condos. His concern is a storm sewer pipe that goes across the property. If the new water main is built, the need for the old sewer pipe will be eliminated. �The council also approved the 2003 bids for road rock and bituminous.

Gossip Girl stars Blake Lively and Penn Badgley aim for the funny bone in a pro-Barack Obama commercial that jokingly warns of the dangers of voting for John McCain.
"If you're ever out somewhere and you're considering voting McCain, just call me," Lively says in the 30-second ad. "I'll pick you up. No questions asked."
Part of MoveOn's Youth Vote program, the commercial was directed by Mr. and Mrs. Smith director Doug Limon and will air during Gossip Girl on CW and on MTV and Comedy Central.

25 Questions for Barack Obama


text:
Ty Murray & Chelsie Hightower (18): With Chelsie rocking a bejeweled American flag top (in the words of Homer J. Simpson: "USA! USA!"), the pair took to the floor with a country-inspired jive and, for the second week in a row, failed to impress. With a huge misstep in the middle of the dance, Ty was unable to keep up with the fleet-footed Chelsie as they line-danced their jive. Ty continues to say all the right things before and after his dance, seeming to really enjoy learning how to dance, but his low score will force him into the bottom two and a Dance-off with destiny on tonight's Results Show.
Shawn Johnson & Mark Ballas (26): I wasn't really sure what was going on in the beginning of this couple's rumba, but once the couple began to dance together, they performed a passionate rumba. But this couple is a perfect example of what has occurred over the past two weeks: a good dance but also a possible plateauing of skills. Len seems sweet on Shawn, giving her "I think you got this just right" compliment.
Lawrence Taylor & Edyta Sliwinska (22): LT is beginning to step up, but he still lacks basic skills (like being light-footed instead of looking like he's on the dance floor crushing bugs) and it hurts the overall flow of his dances. The couple's jive was probably their best dance of the season but I still think he'll be in the bottom two for the second week in a row.
Melissa Rycroft & Tony Dovolani (27): Melissa has been criticized throughout her run as being a little bit too perfect, like she is trying to hit on every movement and tonight is showed. Dancing the best rumba of the night, Melissa did excellent when it came to her dancing, but her connection to the actual feel of the dance was missing (which is alarming with man-stud Tony as her partner). Perhaps she was thrown off by the second ugliest shirt of the night (really, how can anyone produce such an audacity without losing their lunch), but Melissa will probably go down in "Dancing" history as the only contestant criticized for actually being a good dancer.
Lil' Kim & Derek Hough (28): The dance of the night, the couple's prison-themed jive performed to "Jailhouse Rock" (I'm not sure if the seemingly "not the sharpest tool in the shed" and formerly locked-down Kim got the joke) was fast-paced and fun. Anytime you're dancing to an Elvis song will automatically score points in my book and both Carrie and Bruno were all over the couple's performance (giving the couple two "10s"). Len was less than thrilled with their lack of formal jive steps (giving them an "8"), but the crowd loved it and Kim has formally joined the top tier of dancers. Kim not only let it all hang out on the dance floor; after the dance, Tom Bergeron stepped in front of Kim so that she could "readjust herself."
Steve-O & Lacey Schwimmer (16): After scoring another 16, Steve-O should be in the bottom two, but if last week showed anything, it's that Steve-O has his fans. With Lacey looking like she stepped out of my dreams, Steve-O looked like he was going to lose it in the opening moments of the couple's rumba but held it together long enough to receive his first "7." Unfortunately, Len and Bruno gave the couple a "4" and a "5" respectively, meaning the couple has scored 16 for two straight weeks. I have to agree with Len who stated "you can't confuse movement with dancing."
Gilles Marini & Cheryl Burke (26): I've been waiting for Gilles to step out of the romance dances and into a more playful dance to see if he could bring it outside his comfort zone. Consider it brought! The couple's jive was a little frantic, as Len pointed out, but the guy can dance. With each judge seemingly taking off a point for his "crazed squirrel arms," Gilles showed that he is able have fun with his dances (though the couple scored their lowest total since week one).
Chuck Wicks & Julianne Hough (23): I still cannot understand Chuck: on one hand, he seems unable to get over his macho swagger long enough to listen to Julianne and actually learn how to dance; on the other hand, some of his dance moves are a little on the feminine side. The couple still illustrates that they have little chemistry, with their trip to an amusement park doing little to dispel this notion. When professing their love for one another, I can't help but think that Julianne spells it as "L-O-V-E" whereas Chuck spells it as "L-U-V." Chuck picks up the Worst Dressed award for wearing a lace shirt. Yes, I said that correctly... a lace shirt.
So, I know what you're thinking: "But Kevin, no Best Dressed award?" In a night that the women's barely-there outfits could have been sewn together to make one complete dress, Best Dressed has to go to host Samantha Harris. I know I give it to Samantha for her dress choices, for her hair choices, for her skeleton-like arms but she finally put it all together in a beautiful red dress. So, how did I break down my eight votes for this week: Lil' Kim picked up four for the women's side with Gilles picking up the other four for the men's side with no wild card votes this week. I'm not sure if there is any musical guests on tonight's results show, which could lead to a long one-hour Results Show.

Female feet don't smell...
I was at an after party with only a few other people. My company for the evening had left while we were still at the bar, but I had fallen into conversation with some other people, and when someone invited to everybody an after party I just joined up. The main reason for joining them was of course a very hot girl who was part of the group. I had not yet been able to speak to her, but I thought it might be easier in a less crowded place.
The party was held in a big flat. The girl and another girl, both long haired blondes, soon went into a TV room while the others stayed in the kitchen. I followed the girls. The only furniture was a two seated couch and a foot stool. The girls were seated in the couch, which left me with the stool. They were discussing hair products. I was looking for an opening in the conversation, but they didn't give me one. They were quite ignoring, and I felt had to say something or leave the room.
So are you girls hairdressers or something? I blurted out, knowing it was a stupid remark. All girls are interested in hair. The pretty girl looked at me briefly, then rolled her eyes and said No.. She turned back to her friend and kept talking. I was about to leave when she interrupted herself and said that her feet hurt. She pulled off her stilettos and put her feet up on the low coffee table, stretching her legs out. She was wearing dark, shiny stockings or pantyhose. Mmm, that's better. she said, wiggling her toes. I hope my feet don't smell? she asked her friend. It's funny how they tend to smell more when I'm wearing nylons. Is it the same with you? Oh yes, the other girl answered. It's definitely worse. I wouldn't dare to take my shoes off now. But your feet are smaller than mine, so they probably smell less. Don't worry I said, grabbing the opportunity to both have an opinion on the topic and to say something flattering. Women in general sweat a lot less than men do, especially through their feet, which I knew was true because I overheard it once in a shoe store. Men's feet stink like rats, but women's feet have almost no odour whatsoever. Is that so? the pretty girl said indifferently. The other girl tried to explain: But you see, there is something about the nylon fabric. Maybe it's the plastic quality, that it doesn't breathe like, say, cotton does. Yeah, well. That doesn't make much difference. I said. If there isn't much sweat there in the first place, then what harm can the nylon do. The pretty girl looked slightly annoyed. You're pretty sure about this, aren't you? she said. Well, yes. I said, trying to look cool while feeling a bit nervous about her. Well, we do have an available sample right here, so maybe we should find out? She said, looking first at me, then at her friend.
She lifted her foot and held it in the air. What do you think she asked me, can you smell it? No. I lied, feeling a hint of the vinegar-like odour. She moved the tiny and beautifully curved foot closer to my face. I could see a spot of sweat on the ball just below the reinforced toe part. Still nothing? she asked. No. I insisted. Gee, I think he is right she said, turning to her friend. Because I'm a woman, my feet actually don't smell at all! Her friend laughed. And now? she said mock seriously as she placed her sole flat on my face. I wasn't able to say much. The smell was intense, almost making me dizzy. Look at him! her friend laughed, That frown says it all. Stinky! I believe so. the pretty girl answered. Quite an expression you have there. She removed her foot. What do you say? she asked me. Do female feet smell after all? I tried to maintain my dignity. Well, up close like that of course it is noticeable, but Oh, you're such a dork. the pretty girl said. Excuse me? I answered. She ignored me and went back to discussing the hair products with her friend.
I wasn't going to give in. So if you're not hairdressers, then what do you do? I asked. Look, can you leave us alone? the pretty girl said. Why? I answered. Because we are trying to have a fucking conversation here! she almost shouted. Is that so hard to notice? No, but I thought I might join in. Yeah, but that isn't going to happen, is it?! she said harshly. .She turned to her girlfriend again. I began to feel like a loser and thought that if I hadn't been drunk none of this would have happened. But I was drunk and I still couldn't bring myself to leave. I couldn't get much lower anyway. Look, you've got really nice hair Shut the fuck up! the pretty girl yelled. Hey, I'm just trying to be nice here I said, Yeah, but the thing is, you're not very interesting: she said. Just because you are smarter than me I said. Hey! She shouted. She put one finger across her lips, indicating for me to be quiet. Simultaneously she lifted her leg from the table again and put her foot back on my face. This is how interesting you are to me. Like dust on the ground. Get it? She put her other foot on my shoulder. Now you can stay here with my foot in your face, or you can leave. It's up to you. Trudy, my god, what are you her friend started, looking like she didn't know whether to laugh or be shocked. Trudy cut her off. Obviously he doesn't comprehend any other way. Anyway, he's not bothered by the smell, so I guess he's only problem is that he looks fucking stupid with a foot in he's face. Actually, the fact that he claims female feet don't smell pretty much goes to prove that he is a moron. Feet are stinky by definition. Everybody knows that. Well, what were we talking about?
They went back to the hair products again, Trudy acting casual as if I wasn't even there. Her friend a little more tense. I was paralysed and didn't know whether to stay or leave. Her sole covering my mouth and nose. I could breathe well enough, but it felt like my only working senses were smell and vision, while the rest of my brain had stopped working. With every breath her foot smell was heavy inside my head. Held in that position, I was forced to keep looking directly at her. The dark nylon encased leg stretched out in a straight line from beneath my eyes down to her crotch. Her lifted legs had made her short skirt slide above the midst of her thighs. I could almost see beneath it, into her crotch, but tried to keep my eyes elsewhere. I focused on her leg, and despite her cruel behaviour I found I wanted to stroke and caress it. After what was probably just a few minutes but to me seemed like an hour, she switched her legs between my shoulder and face. Shortly afterwards, she said: If you are going to stay, why don't you hold my feet up. Go ahead. Despite the alarm signals in my brain about my manhood being flushed down the drain, I noticed my hands coming up supporting her heels. She crossed her legs at the ankles, with one foot firmly against my face, the other a little to the side. They continued chatting.
Then after a while, without a word to me, Trudy withdrew her feet and put her shoes on. As they got up and left the room, Trudy said: That's the most pathetic thing I've ever seen. Even if I was into men, he would be totally worthless. Her friend giggled.

Business briefs from across the nation and around the world
Massachusetts court tosses part of cigarette case
BOSTON -- The family of a late Boston woman who got free cigarette samples as a child can keep $35 million in compensatory damages, but the state's highest court Tuesday threw out an $81 million punitive damages award and ordered a new trial on that part of the case.
The Supreme Judicial Court issued the mixed decision in a wrongful-death suit brought against Greensboro, N.C.-based Lorillard Tobacco Co. by the son of Marie Evans, who died of cancer in 2002 at age 54. Her family said she became a regular smoker at about age 13 after repeatedly getting free Newport cigarette samples at a playground.
The justices found that jurors didn't get proper instructions on a wrongful death theory based on negligent design and marketing. They also vacated the finding that Evans' death was caused by Lorillard's negligence.
Google snaps up Waze to add to mapping service
SAN FRANCISCO -- Google is buying online mapping service Waze in a deal that keeps a potentially valuable tool away from its rivals while gaining technology that could improve the accuracy and usefulness of its own popular navigation system.
The acquisition announced Tuesday ends several months of speculation as Waze flirted with potential buyers interested in its rapidly growing service. Waze blends elements of a social network into its maps to produce more precise directions and more reliable information about local traffic conditions.
Google Inc. is believed to have trumped two of its fiercest foes, Facebook Inc. and Apple Inc., in the bidding for Waze, which is based in Israel.
Financial terms of the deal weren't disclosed. Published reports have pegged the purchase price at $1.1 billion to $1.3 billion.
More Americans quit jobs, a sign of confidence
WASHINGTON -- More Americans are quitting their jobs, suggesting many are growing more confident in the job market.
The Labor Department said Tuesday that the number of people who quit their jobs in April jumped 7.2 percent to 2.25 million. That's just below February's level, which was the highest in four and a half years.
Overall hiring also picked up in April, though not as dramatically. Employers filled 4.4 million jobs in April, a 5 percent increase from March. Hiring fell in March, and April's level was below February's.
The report offered a reminder that the job market is far from healthy. The number of available jobs fell 3 percent to a seasonally adjusted 3.75 million.
Dole Food gets buyout offer from chief executive
NEW YORK -- Dole Food Co. Chairman and Chief Executive David Murdock and his family are offering to buy the business with a bid that values the entire company at more than $1 billion. Murdock and other family members are offering $12 per share for the stock they don't already own. Murdock has about a 39.5 percent stake in Dole, according to FactSet.
The fresh fruit and vegetable company has gone through major changes recently. It sold its packaged foods and Asia fresh business for $1.69 billion in a deal that closed in April. That allowed Dole to become solely an international commodity produce company.
Dole plans to create a special committee to assess the bid. It said that it is only in the beginning stages of evaluating the offer and that the board has made no decisions about the proposal.
U.S. wholesale stockpiles rose 0.2 percent in April
WASHINGTON -- U.S. wholesalers increased their stockpiles in April, and their sales rebounded from a big decline in March, positive signs for economic growth.
The Commerce Department says stockpiles at the wholesale level rose 0.2 percent in April. That followed a 0.3 percent gain in March.
Sales in April increased 0.5 percent, the best showing since February. In March, sales had plunged 1.4 percent.
The April increase left stockpiles at the wholesale level at $504.8 billion. That's up 4.1 percent from a year ago and 31.2 percent above the recession low.
An increase in restocking can drive more economic growth.
France threatens veto of EU-US trade deal
STRASBOURG, France -- A cloud is hanging over the upcoming free-trade talks between the European Union and the United States after France said it won't back any deal that threatens the country's prestigious film, radio or TV industries.
The stakes are high because any deal could have major implications for global trade and could serve as a model for future deals. Together, the U.S. and the EU make up nearly half the world economy and 30 percent of global trade.
The audiovisual sectors have traditionally been excluded from global free-trade agreements under what is known as the "cultural exception," which allows governments to subsidize and protect them. In general, free-trade agreements are supposed to limit or ban such support.
"France is asking for an exclusion from the negotiation of what it considers of course to be cultural products but which are also a mark of European identity," French Trade Minister Nicole Bricq said.

Who's a Rat Warning
By Deane Barker on September 29, 2004
LEOs Warned: Do Not Visit Whosarat: Cryptome brings us this interesting memo from a government agency about the Web site Who's a Rat, which we're talked about before.
Visiting the site could result in the compromise of government IP addresses. Searching the site for a particular name could result in that name being cross-indexed to the IP address of the computer used to make the inquiry. Searching for the names of officers or informants could compromise those individual's identities. Any website is capable of collecting IP address and search information from visitors, but this site is remarkable because it makes visitor information public.
I'm trying to nail down the scenario here. Say I'm a cop, and I have a confidential information named Willie the Weasel. I'm interested to see if he's on Who's a Rat, so I go search for his name.
Now, the proprietor's of Who's a Rat can see that someone searched for "Willie the Weasel," and they have my IP address. If they trace this IP back to the local police department…does that tell them anything? I'm not sure, I guess.

Ken Berger of CBSSports.com on the longer break: "One thing it probably won't do, however, is compel the game's biggest stars to resume participation in the dunk and 3-point contests on All-Star Saturday night. The short break and packed All-Star schedules have been among the key reasons that superstars have for years avoided what used to be a highlight of the weekend. But there is no indication that any discussions have taken place about using the longer break to entice the likes of James, Paul George (when healthy), Russell Westbrook and others to join the Saturday night festivities and restore their long-lost luster. Of course, adding two additional days without games after the All-Star Game will only put more focus on trade deadline moves at that time. But in theory, the focus will be shifted away from the league's showcase event. One step at a time."
Coach K sounds a little cheesed about KD dropping out: "We had a whole camp building what we're doing around him," Krzyzewski said. "So that's the very first thing: You had one of the great scorers at the [power forward position]. So how does that change your offense? That changes your offense immensely. You have to do more to get your guards shots. I mean, these guards are really good, but they were complementing one another – Kevin with those guards. … Now we have to look at developing our inside and getting the guards more involved."
The Thunder are closing in on signing a new D-League coach.
Chris Johnson of SI.com on best games: "If you watched last season's Western Conference semifinals between these teams, you can move on. You already know Oklahoma City and L.A. waged a thrilling six-game series highlighted by, among other notable developments, a 32-point game from Chris Paul, a 39-point, 16-rebound game from Kevin Durant and, let's not forget the officiating controversy that triggered Doc Rivers' memorable postgame rant. Though the thrill factor of last season's playoffs waned after the first round, this series was objectively awesome. Here's to hoping Oklahoma City and the Clippers entertain us again."
The Thunder have reached a deal with Lance Thomas for training camp.
KD looks stupidly real in the new 2K screenshots.
A lot of stuff suggests the Thunder have the toughest schedule in the league next season.

GEN News Highlights : Feb 6, 2009
Ligand Pharmaceuticals and Trevena initiated a joint research and license alliance related to G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) therapeutics. Trevena's platform will be used to screen targets against Ligand's combinatorial library of compounds. Under the terms of the agreement, Trevena has been granted exclusive, worldwide rights to sublicense active compounds resulting from the collaboration. Ligand expects to screen 24 targets over two years and receive payments triggered by a tiered screening paradigm for each target.
"We are delighted to enter into this collaboration that allows us to generate cash flow from the combinatorial chemistry technology we gained through our acquisition of Pharmacopeia," says John L. Higgins, president and CEO of Ligand. In September 2008, Ligand offered to buy Pharmacopeia for $55 million.

In spite of the fact that plasma glycoproteins have recently been the subject of intense interest and investigation by clinically orientated biochemists,10,11,13,14 knowledge of this ever expanding field has, as yet, received scant mention in clinical publications.
The presence of free carbohydrate in the blood, largely in the form of glucose, has been recognized for years. However, an appreciation of the fact that hydrolysis of plasma protein releases additional reducing substances is of relatively recent origin,6 and the isolation and identification of these protein-bound sugars has been completed only in the last few years.1,2,7,8 Such conjugated protein-carbohydrate complexes, when occurring in the plasma, are referred to as plasma glycoproteins.
Six monosaccharides have been isolated and identified as forming the carbohydrate of the plasma glycoproteins.12 These include galactose and mannose (the hexoses), glucosamine and galactosamine (which occur as N-acetyl derivatives and are collectively referred to as the

When Ralph Hall first started working with asbestos in 1951 and smoking in 1952, the dangers of those activities were not known. Now, Ralph is paying the price. After having lung surgery in 1998 and again in 2003, Ralph still is dealing with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and other breathing problems which require supplemental oxygen.
"I know that pulmonary rehab is helping my condition," he said. "I have already seen an improvement so I will absolutely continue."
Ralph is one of the patients being helped by Pulmonary Rehab Services, offered in the Cardiac Rehabilitation Center at Atrium Medical Center. The new department opened in spring 2012 in response to high demand for care for people with lung conditions.
"There can be an overuse of medications for diseases such as COPD and they are of limited benefit. A medically-supervised program of exercise can significantly improve function and the effects of disabling symptoms, as well as the quality of life for patients like Ralph," said Ralph's pulmonary physician, Amaresh Nath, MD.
Dr. Nath is one of the people responsible for pulmonary rehab available at Atrium and for making it convenient for so many patients in the area.
"It used to be I couldn't walk more than 100 feet without having to stop and rest a few minutes," Ralph said. "I like to go to sports activities, especially my grandson's baseball games and my granddaughter's softball games. But when I was out with other people, I felt like a nuisance. Now, I'm doing a lot better."
Dr. Nath said that on a standard breathing test, Ralph scores 61 percent. Anyone with less than 65 percent can have dramatic reductions in their quality of life.
He also points out that advanced lung disease brings a particular set of problems. "These patients have higher demand on their lungs, yet they have deconditioned muscles," he said. "Education and the right exercises can help significantly."
Gayle DeBord, RN, team leader of Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehab Services at Atrium, said that the exercises patients learn during pulmonary rehab improve muscle strength and endurance.
"We also help patients learn new breathing techniques," Gayle said. "We show them how to conserve energy and help them learn more about supplemental oxygen and inhalers. It's all about decreasing symptoms to help people truly feel better."
These steps are certainly helping Ralph breathe easier. Normal blood oxygen levels for people without COPD and other lung conditions are 94 to 98 percent. "When I first started with pulmonary rehab, my blood oxygen levels were in the 70s," Ralph said. "Now I can feel an improvement." This improvement, explains Dr. Nath, is due to "better breathing technique and more efficient utilization of oxygen."
Ralph adds that the exercises and breathing techniques he's learned from Atrium's Pulmonary Rehab Services has made a difference. "You get out of it what you put into it," he said. "Somebody else can't get you well. You're living in your own body, and if there's something to make me feel better, oh yeah, I'm going for it."
Ralph likes the friendly and caring attention he receives at Atrium. He describes the staff as "exceptionally nice and interested in helping me." Best of all, he appreciates the improvements he's seeing.
"I smoked for 32 years and I regret ever picking up a cigarette," Ralph said. "Plus, I worked in a manufacturing facility where I was handling four-by-eight sheets of asbestos. No wonder my lungs are a mess."
"But here is where I am now," he said. "You've got to play the cards you're dealt. I don't believe in complaining. I believe in trying to go for something better."
For more information about Pulmonary Rehab Services at Atrium Medical Center, call our Cardiac Rehab Center at (513) 420-5258.

Poor Steve Roman. For years he studied large populations of thoroughbreds, going back 40 years in an attempt to interpret pedigrees accurately. All he was trying to do was understand the trends of the breed and record his findings.
Roman's system, which rates a horse for speed and stamina according to a complicated formula based on the horse's bloodlines, is called dosage. It got worldwide attention in the 1980s when reporters - and bettors - discovered that no horse with figures outside Roman's dosage guidelines had ever won the

When talking to a person with a disability, look at and speak directly to that person, rather than through a companion who may be along. If an interpreter is present, speak to the person who has come for your services, not to the interpreter. Always maintain eye contact with the taxpayer, not the interpreter.
When introduced to a person with a disability, it is appropriate to offer to shake hands. People with limited hand use or who wear an artificial limb can usually shake hands. Shaking hands with the left hand is acceptable. For those who cannot shake hands, touch the person on the shoulder or arm to welcome and acknowledge their presence.
Relax. Don't be embarrassed if you happen to use accepted common expressions such as See you later or got to be running along that seem to relate to the person's disability.
Call a person by his or her first name only when extending that familiarity to all others present. Never patronize people using wheelchairs by patting them on the head or shoulder.
When addressing a person who uses a wheelchair, never lean on the person's wheelchair. The chair is part of the space that belongs to the person who uses it. When talking with a person in a wheelchair for more than a few minutes, use a chair, whenever possible. This will place your at the person's eye level to facilitate conversation.
Offer assistance in a dignified manner with sensitivity and respect. Be prepared to have the offer declined. Do not proceed to assist if your offer to assist is declined. If the offer is accepted, listen to or accept instructions.
When greeting a person with a severe loss of vision, always identify yourself and others who may be with you. When conversing in a group, give a vocal cue by announcing the name of the person to whom you are speaking. Speak in a normal tone of voice, indicate in advance when you will be moving from one place to another and let it be known when the conversation is at an end.
Allow a person with a visual impairment to take your arm (at or about the elbow.) This will enable you to guide rather than propel or lead the person.
To get the attention of a person with a hearing impairment, tap the person on the shoulder or wave your hand. Look directly at the person and speak clearly, naturally and slowly to establish if the person can read lips. Not all persons with hearing impairments can lip-read. Those who can will rely on facial expression and other body language to help in understanding. Show consideration by placing yourself facing the light source and keeping your hands, cigarettes and food away from your mouth when speaking. Keep mustaches well trimmed. Do not shout at a hearing impaired person. Shouting distorts sounds accepted through hearing aids and inhibits lip reading. Do not shout at a person who is blind or visually impaired -- he or she can hear you!
To facilitate conversation, be prepared to offer a visual cue to a hearing impaired person or an audible cue to a vision impaired person, especially when more than one person is speaking.
Listen attentively when you're talking to a person who has speech impairment. Keep your manner encouraging rather than correcting. Exercise patience rather than attempting to speak for a person with speech difficulty. When necessary, ask short questions that require short answers or a nod or a shake of the head. Never pretend to understand if you are having difficulty doing so. Repeat what you understand, or incorporate the interviewee's statements into each of the following questions. The person's reactions will clue you in and guide you to understanding.
Remember, people with disabilities are not conditions or diseases; they are individual human beings. For example, a person is not an epileptic but rather a person who has epilepsy. First and foremost they are people. Only secondarily do they have one or more disabling conditions. Hence, they prefer to be referred to in print or broadcast media as People with Disabilities. Avoid outdated terms like "handicapped" or "crippled." Many people with disabilities also dislike jargon, euphemistic terms like "physically disabled" and "differently abled." Also, be sure to use "wheelchair user" rather than "confined to a wheelchair" or "wheelchair-bound."

Happy New Year! I hope you all have been enjoying 2014 so far. :)
I am sure that it's obvious that I've taken a small hiatus. I've had good reason, promise. I've been getting ready.
I'll be starting a strict medical program on 2/5/14 to tend to my health and with full time work and family and my health, I haven't had the time to be here and I miss it horribly. I am MIA mainly everywhere social media wise and that's because I've been preparing and have chosen to keep things private.
I was ignoring my health and medical test results came back and it shocked me and scared the crap out of me and now with doctors orders, I have to take action. I hurt every second of the day and I have hidden it very well for a very long time and it's time for me to focus on me...however, I'll be sharing a little here and there right here on my blog. I've taken a lot of time to reflect on the path I'm going to start taking and I'm really ready now. It's going to be a good thing.
My apologies for not posting.
I have to show myself some love, because in recent times, I haven't - and that sucks.
Talk soon.

WASHINGTON -- Pro-life leaders took their fight against abortion funding in health care to Capitol Hill Thursday.
They have been sounding the alarm: taxes will pay for abortions under a health care overhaul. But that's not what President Barack Obama said Wednesday night:
"Under our plan, no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions," he said.
Still, pro-life leaders say that's untrue, and a Capitol Hill news conference they presented charts, quotes and clips to prove it in the legislation.
"The administration is explicitly authorized to pay for all abortions from day one," said Douglas Johnson of the National Right to Life.
National Right to Life claims Obama vowed he would do it.
"Barack Obama promised Planned Parenthood in the most explicit terms that abortion would be in his plan," Johnson said. "The transcript is in our memos and the film clip is at our Web site, and I would invite you to review it."
The pro-lifers want to attach to any health care overhaul the Hyde Amendment, which would forbid federal funding of abortion.
"There are millions of children who are alive today because of the Hyde Amendment and because of other restrictions on public funding for abortion, because about a third don't go through with it if that facilitation by government funds is not there," said Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ).
"So those children are alive. If you fund it, you get more of it," he added.
However, congressional leaders won't allow a vote or debate on the Hyde Amendment.
"The Speaker and the Democratic leadership have a great responsibility to the American public to allow the Congress to debate this issue," said Kristen Day of Democrats for Life.
Pro-life leaders admit if Democratic leaders on Capitol Hill and in the White House keep dodging this issue or misdirecting on it, there's little that can be done to keep taxpayer funding of abortion out of the health care overhaul.

If you don't want to pay a monthly subscription for your digital TV, you can get the basic channels, as well as HD channels, from Freeview for free.
Freeview is the cheapest way to get digital TV. After making a one-off payment for either a set-top box or TV with integrated Freeview, you'll have access to all the original terrestrial channels, plus dozens of new digital channels as well.
What is Freeview?
Freeview is the most common digital TV service in the UK. Freeview set-top boxes are available from most electronics retailers, and tuners are also included as standard in new TVs.
Freeview gives you up to 50 TV channels including BBC One, Two, Three and Four, ITV 1, 2, 3 and 4, Channel 4, Film4, E4, More4, Channel 5, 5 Star, 5 USA, Dave, Challenge and more. In addition, Freeview lets you listen to 24 digital radio stations through your TV.
High-definition (HD) channels, including BBC One HD, ITV HD and Channel 4 HD are available through Freeview, but you'll need a Freeview HD box and an HD TV - or a television with built-in Freeview HD - in order to watch them.
Freeview+ boxes cost more than standard Freeview, but offer many extra features. For example, you can pause and rewind live TV - so if you're interrupted in the middle of a show, you can pick up where you left off without missing a moment.
You can also record TV, either individual shows or whole series, and watch them when it's convenient for you. If your box supports it, and you have a home broadband connection, you can also access a range of on-demand TV through Freeview.
Catch-up services, such as BBC iPlayer, 4oD, ITV Player and Demand 5, are available and some manufacturers also offer access to video on demand (VOD) services like Netflix, or YouTube.
Why should I get Freeview?
Chances are you already have Freeview in some form. Tuners now come included in all TVs, and with the digital switchover long completed, most homes will have already picked up a set-top box.
Still, if you are looking to replace your TV tuner, or you're looking for a new set-top box on a budget, Freeview is a valid option. It's the cheapest digital TV service in the UK, with some boxes going for less than £20. It offers a decent range of channels - including the biggest from BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5.
You can get a small number of HD channels by upgrading to a Freeview HD box, and if you want a bit more than the basics, you can get a Freeview+ box for TV recording and catch-up TV.
Freeview boxes are available from many different manufacturers, and can be bought from most electronics retailers. Remember to check what services they give you before buying one, as not all boxes offer the same things.
If you want to record TV, for example, you'll need to make sure you're buying Freeview+ and not just a regular Freeview box.
How does Freeview compare with other TV services?

Samsung's slimline K3 MP3 player
April 11,2007 Samsung Electronics' most recent addition to its audiovisual offerings is the Samsung K3 MP3 player. Similar to its predecessor, the K5, the Samsung K3 features an intuitive touch-screen navigation menu, FM radio, JPEG image and text viewer, all displayed on a vibrant 1.8-inch Organic Liquid Electronic Display (OLED) screen. The K3 comes without the inbuilt speaker of the K5, and accordingly is considerably slimmer at just 6.65mm. The Samsung K3's optional docking speaker is a slip case that doesn't add much to the slim profile.
The K3 commands attention with smooth glass-like looks and framed in chrome. Coupled with Samsung's proprietary Digital Natural Sound engine (DNSe), it produces a clear, balanced and resonant sound despite being its wafer thin profile.
With three flash-memory models, the Samsung K3 is available as 1MB, 2MB or 4MB.

Do You Know Your Rights During Childbirth?Danielle
Amber Marlowe, Angela Carter, and Laura Pemberton all have something in common. All three were told they had no rights to informed consent when it came to birthing their children. One woman died, one woman avoided an unnecessary c-section by fleeing the hospital, and another was handcuffed at her home and dragged into the hospital while in labor and forced to undergo a c-section.
Sounds like they were living in some kind of country with no rights… right? Nope, all three took place right here in the United States which sparked a big debate on informed consent laws, and mothers rights while in labor.
While some physician organizations across the country are opposed to these kind of forced procedures, they are still taking place.
According to a 2004 article from MSNBC:
A 2002 survey by researchers at the University of Chicago found only 4 percent of directors of maternal-fetal medicine fellowship programs believed pregnant women should be required to undergo potentially lifesaving treatment for the sake of their fetuses, down from 47 percent in 1987.
Dr. Michael Grodin, director of Medical Ethics at the Boston University School of Medicine, said doctors should seek court intervention when a mother refuses care only if the patient is mentally ill.
"Women have a right to refuse treatment. Women have a right to control their bodies. It is a dangerous slope. What's next? If someone doesn't seek prenatal care, what are we going to do, lock them up?"
Pregnant women have several legal rights to make choices in their own care!
Here is a sample of the Patient Bill of Rights (I highlighted the rights that stand out in maternity care)
- To safe, considerate and respectful care, provided in a manner consistent with your beliefs;
- To expect that all communications and records pertaining to your care will be treated as confidential to the extent permitted by law;
- To know the physician responsible for coordinating your care at the Clinical Center;
- To receive complete information about diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis from the physician, in terms that are easily understood. If it is medically inadvisable to give such information to you, it will be given to a legally authorized representative;
- To receive information necessary for you to give informed consent prior to any procedure or treatment, including a description of the procedure or treatment, any potential risks or benefits, the probable duration of any incapacitation, and any alternatives. Exceptions will be made in the case of an emergency;
- To receive routine services when hospitalized at the Clinical Center in connection with your protocol. Complicating chronic conditions will be noted, reported to you, and treated as necessary without the assumption of long-term responsibility for their management;
- To know in advance what appointment times and physicians are available and where to go for continuity of care provided by the Clinical Center;
- To receive appropriate assessment of ,and treatment for, pain;
- To refuse to participate in research, to refuse treatment to the extent permitted by law, and to be informed of the medical consequences of these actions, including possible dismissal from the study and discharge from the Clinical Center. If discharge would jeopardize your health, you have the right to remain under Clinical Center care until discharge or transfer is medically advisable;
- To be transferred to another facility when your participation in the Clinical Center study is terminated;
- To expect that a medical summary from the Clinical Center will be sent to your referring physician;
- To designate additional physicians or organizations at any time to receive medical updates.
When it comes down to it, if you say no, or do not wish to undergo a certain procedure, you legally cannot be forced into it, which we are seeing in an increasing number today.
You have rights!.

Analysis: World divided on new plan to combat global warming
SINGAPORE (Reuters) - A new plan to curb global warming risks becoming a battleground between rich and poor nations and could struggle to get off the ground as negotiators battle over the fate of the ailing Kyoto climate pact. The 1997 Kyoto Protocol covers only emissions from rich nations that produce less than a third of mankind's carbon pollution and its first phase is due to expire end-2012. Poorer nations want it extended, while many rich countries say a broader pact is needed to include all big polluters.
Perry says slowing carbon emissions hurts economy
ATKINSON, New Hampshire (Reuters) - Texas Governor Rick Perry, struggling to regain his status as front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, expressed fresh doubt on Saturday about whether humans are causing climate change. "I still stand by that the science is not settled on man-made global warming," Perry said while campaigning in the key early primary state of New Hampshire.
Philippines mops up after two typhoons in a week
MANILA (Reuters) - Philippine authorities were struggling on Sunday to reach communities in northern provinces of Luzon island that were hit by two powerful typhoons in less than week, as concern grew about a third storm forming off the coast. The national disaster agency said one person had been killed when Typhoon Nalgae struck on Saturday, although there were reports of more deaths from provincial officials.
China calls for talks over shelved Myanmar dam
BEIJING (Reuters) - China called on Saturday for talks with Myanmar after the government there suspended a controversial $3.6 billion, Chinese-led dam project. After weeks of rare public outrage against the Myitsone dam, Myanmar's largest hydropower project, President Thein Sein told parliament his government had to act "according to the desire of the people.
Analysis: Corn export dominance to bend, not break
CHICAGO (Reuters) - For the first time in 40 years, U.S. corn exporters are not out-selling the rest of the world. Domestic ethanol is sucking up record crops. Emerging suppliers like Brazil and Ukraine are taking export share, while traditional exporters like Argentina move to open new markets. And consumers worldwide are looking to save every penny, cutting shipping costs or using other types of feed.
U.S. lays out requirements to reopen Dominion plant
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. nuclear regulator said on Friday it has sent a letter to Dominion Resources laying out the requirements for the restart of the company's quake-rattled North Anna nuclear plant. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission said Dominion will have to submit paperwork responding to the commission's questions about the safety of restarting the plant.
Oil and water don't mix in Nebraska debate over pipeline
ATKINSON, Neb (Reuters) - The old adage that oil and water don't mix is proving true in Nebraska, where hundreds of people filled a small town gymnasium to protest a proposed oil pipeline they fear could pollute a major U.S. drinking water source. They came on Thursday in tour and school buses, vans and a few even on horseback to the West Holt Junior and Senior High School, some wearing cowboy boots and seed company caps, to testify at a U.S. State Department hearing on the proposed $7 billion Keystone XL oil pipeline from Canada to Texas.

Despite weather-related setbacks all along, construction leaders at Owen County's new courthouse facility are hopeful that completion will come during the spring of 2012.
Construction Superintendent with Codell Construction Taylor Coates said as of Friday construction has been pushed back 60 days since the start date of April 26, 2010 – which ends up being 84 calendar days.
Nine of those days came from the severe thunderstorms and rain during April.
A wet-dry petition that had been making the rounds in Owen County since January was officially filed at the Owen County Clerk's Office Monday afternoon.
The petition, which included at least 200 more signatures than needed, was signed by "Citizens for Change and Growth."
As the Owen County School Board continued their budget battle Monday, the board gave the public a chance to respond to some recent decisions.
Those wishing to speak to the board concerning an issue were asked to sign up to do so and were each allotted three minutes to address the board.
Owen County Primary School's Media Specialist Mindy Green addressed the board. Her position took a 10-day reduction and she requested that the board think of her next year when they're making more budget decisions.
April 20, 2011
Wednesday receipts: 841
For the week: 1,009
Last week: 640
Last year: 1,033
Compared to the previous Wednesday: Slaughter cows and bulls $1 to $2 higher. Feeder steers $2 to $3 lower. Feeder heifers $1 to $3 higher, except 500-600 lbs. fully, $4 lower.
Farmers who raise livestock; whether cattle, horses, sheep, or goats, should think of themselves as forage farmers as well. Increased use of forage reduces feed costs and increases potential yield per animal; to some extent, it is an input that a farmer can manage himself to minimize concentrate purchases.

The Owen County High School boys' relay teams have been having a great season so far in 2011.
At a recent meet in Grant County, they were not just good, they were record breaking.
Paul Banks, Collin Trammel, Bobby Mingie and Darian Polley make up both the 4x100 meter and the 4x200-meter teams.
Both teams finished first at Grant County.
Their time of 46.45 in the 4x100-meter was good for a new school record as was their time of 1:37 in the 4x200-meter relay.
The post-season honors continue to pile up for Owen County High School junior Rianna Gayheart.
The Lady Rebel guard had already been named Eighth Region Player of the Year.
Last week, she received more recognition.
She was named honorable mention All State by the Lexington Herald-Leader.
Gayheart was also selected to play for the Kentucky Junior All Stars.
Her team will be taking on the Kentucky Senior All-Star team the week before the seniors play the Indiana Senior All Stars.
Like everyone else, the Owen County High School softball team has been dealing with weather issues for the past week. The team was only able to get in one game last week.
The Lady Rebels traveled to Independence last week to take on the Lady Pioneers of Simon Kenton.
Despite a home run from Hannah Neeley and a 3 for 4 day from Courtney Waldrop, the Lady Rebels fell 7-3.
Even with the good days from Neeley and Waldrop, the Lady Rebels struck out 11 times in the game.

Tiger Says he's Back, PGA Leaderboard at Halfway Mark Concurs
[Editor's Note: Cybergolf's Jay Flemma and Marino Parascenzo are in South Carolina for this week's PGA Championship on the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island. Here's Jay's third report.]
The Ocean Course's Brutal 9th
On a day that saw 30 mile-per-hour winds, sideways rain and the highest scoring average in PGA Championship single-round history, Vijay Singh and Tiger Woods surged to 4-under and a share of the lead with rounds of 3-under 69 and 1-under 71, respectively. Both stand at 4-under (140) for the tournament, tied with Carl Petterson who followed his opening 66 with a dismal 74. England's Ian Poulter satnds one shot back at 3-under while Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy and Welshman Jamie Donaldson are at 2-under.
"This was the hardest day on the course I've ever had to play in," confided an exhausted defending champion Keegan Bradley, who called his 5-over 77 a solid round. "I could have blown up at any time out there. It's blowing like a British Open. 7-13 are as hard a stretch of golf as there is in the world."
Indeed, the wind blew the field scoring average to a bloated 78.1. Only four players out of 156 shot under par and Singh's was the only round in the 60s. He went out early before the wind kicked up, then - as always - went back to the range for another extended practice session while the afternoon players watched their scores blow across the Atlantic.
"Nobody is used to winds like this," observed an obviously relieved Singh. "I'm just trying hit the fairways and get anywhere on the green where you can two putt from. If you're lucky enough, the par 5s, you can take advantage of the par 5s here. Two of them are downwind."
Singh did exactly that - birdieing two par-5s (7 and 16) and adding three more birdies which were balanced against two bogeys at the par-4 10th and the long par-3 14th.
"I don't know what Dye was thinking when he made 14. He must have been asleep or something," Singh joked laconically. "But it's one of the hardest par 3s I think anywhere. I don't know if anyone is going to be happy playing that hole today. I hit a good shot and made bogey," he lamented.
The rest of the day belonged to Woods, and deservedly so. Usually known for folding in wind like a gunmetal grey card table chair, Woods carved, stung and slashed his way through the gale to three birdies and two bogeys in a round far more mercurial than the scorecard indicates.
Tiger Practices Putting after
2nd Round in PGA Championship
Woods rode a sizzling hot putter, a brilliant wind game plan, and sparkling recovery shots to the top of the leaderboard. At times he was a mesmerist the way he bent the ball to his will. Put your coffee cup down before reading these stats or you'll likely spit up all over your laptop: eight of nine up and downs converted on the day, 26 putts for a dazzling 36 hole total of 48 (1st in putting in the field); 23 one putts over the first two rounds; and a tie for the lead despite hitting only 19 fairways and 19 greens. Do that in a Texas money game and they shoot you on general principle. The only real mistake Woods made was a three-putt bogey at the last after it looked like he'd save par from a hospitality tent.
It could have been even better for Woods. At the brutishly long par-4 ninth, the second hardest hole on the golf course, Woods came one turn of the golf ball from a spectacular pitch-in a la 16 at the 2005 Masters when his shot from a grassy hollow deep enough to house a family of four hung on the lip of the cup, smirking impudently at him while seemingly defying gravity.
In golf jargon we call that a "Cuba" - it just needed another revolution.
The normally surly Tiger, who in the past might instead have engaged in pained histrionics, instead was sweetness and light all day (go figure!), in this case plumb-bobbing the tap-in, triggering a gale of laughter from the fans.
"Holy Cow," he gasped after the round. "We are starting balls so far off-line, to have them come back in. There's so much drift to this wind. It was just a tough day," he said.
But perhaps his most telling comment was not the specifics of the day but the meta-question asked by one journalist about when and how Tiger would consider himself truly "back."
"I'm back playing a full schedule this year," he said, answering the question more literally than metaphorically, but still giving a thorough and thoughtful response. "I've not played a full schedule in a very long time. I've been told I would never win again, so I'll just play it out and I know that once I get into the rhythm of playing, playing tournaments and being able to practice and work on the things that Sean (Foley) wants me to work on, things will get better, and they have. And I'm starting to see some nice consistency and I'm very pleased by that."
It's an interesting question. The media and most ardent fans will probably not proclaim him truly "back" until he wins a major or two, while Tigerphiles point to his 2012 PGA Tour wins to support their argument that he is back. Some might say he will won't be completely "back" until he begins dominating again to the tune of winning many tournaments and multiple majors by huge margins as he did in his prime, but one thing is certain: For the third consecutive time in a major championship Tiger Woods is at or near the lead heading into weekend play. He handled the maelstrom yesterday better than he has handled wind ever before in a major. All the assembled media agreed and lauded him for that. When it comes to a combination of talent, brains, and preparation, Tiger is indeed the best.
But more importantly for golf, if Woods continues to carry himself as he did yesterday - with more grace, class and sincere charm - both on the course and off he'll win back even those fans and sponsors that have not yet come back to him, and his reputation might be almost as "back" to 2008 standards as his game. It's good for golf when he's winning, but it's better still when he's winning without slamming clubs, lobbing curses and telling Alex Miceli what a beauty he is.

Re: help me in Socket programming
My recommendation would be to get the hang of threading and socket programming separately, and once you've got the hang of both individually, then combine the two.

Introduction to Health Services Research : A Self-Study Course
The end of World War II boosted interest in health care technology as military technology was converted to other uses. The use of computers in biology, biomedical engineering, medical diagnosis, and health information systems developed out of this conversion (Flook, 1973).
The issue of quality became more important. How does one define quality? Early outcomes researchers developed scales to measure patients' adjustments to their conditions and satisfaction with their lives.
Dr. David A. Karnofsky (1914-1969) created quality measures for cancer patients in 1948. This scale is called the Karnofsky Performance Status Scale. It allows patients to be classified as to their functional impairment. The lower the scale, the more unlikely the patient is to survive.
Outcomes Research Develops under Avedis Donabedian
Dr. Avedis Donabedian has been called the "Father of Outcomes Research" for his work in defining quality of medical care and in health care assessment.
Dr. Avedis Donabedian, a major figure in health care assessment, described the quality of medical care as structure, process, and outcomes in 1950. He has been called the "Father of Outcomes Research".
Writing many years later, Dr. Donabedian noted how difficult it is to define quality, "The definition of quality also becomes narrower or more expansive, depending on how narrowly or broadly we define the concept of health and our responsibility for it. It makes a difference in the assessment of our performance whether we see ourselves responsible for bringing about improvements only in specific aspects of physical or physiological function or whether we include psychological and social function as well" (Donabedian, 1988).
Donabedian's work in outcomes research was highlighted in a series of three volumes titled, Explorations in Quality Assessment and Monitoring that was published in 1985. An award, the ISPOR Avedis Donabedian Outcomes Research Lifetime Achievement Award, was named in honor of his work after his death in November 2000.
The efforts to measure quality have generated the creation of many instruments that have joined the ranks of the Karnofsky scale, such as the:
Important quality of life researchers (and their research teams) are associated with each scale.
These were team efforts.

Few studies have been conducted to investigate the factors that motivate terminally ill people to seek assistance in ending their lives. Despite this lack of information, reviews of the legal status of euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide (PAS) have been taking place around the world. Now that relevant research is starting to accrue,1,2 Dr Chochinov wisely cautions against a rush to infer policy imperatives from this work. Empirical research can be useful in providing a better understanding of the attitudes of dying people toward euthanasia and PAS, which is clearly a basic concern in the legalization debate, but it cannot tell society what it should or should not do. Those policy decisions require a weighing of complex clinical, moral, and ethical issues that go beyond the scope of patient surveys.3

Everything is not what it seems. I guess I watch too much tv. I've always been under the impression that forensic investigations and death investigations were done in a highly scientific and professional manner. As it turns out, the reality is that throughout most of America the position of Coroner is an elected position. This means that the person doing the investigation could have little to no experience at all which could then lead to a
Currently I'm a little in love with pretty much anything coming out of South Korea. Whether it's Thirst, The Host, Oldboy, or 3-Iron, I love pretty much everything I see. South Korean directors manage to make some of the most deliciously weird movies I've seen. The latest batch of weirdness comes courtesy of The Housemaid, the latest from Sang-soo Im.
2011 marks the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Robert Johnson. He has been called the "King of the Delta Blues Singers". Legend has it that he sold his soul to the Devil. It has been said that he faced away from his audience when he played certain licks on his guitar so that no one could copy his style. People claim that he died as a result of being poisoned by a jealous husband. but what of his music and its legacy?
Last weekend I watched a "reality" documentary called Sweet Grass. It represents the name of Sweet Grass County in Montana. The film features a family of ranchers that take several hundred sheep out on a long and arduous cattle drive to graze for fresh grass in the mountains before returning home.
I decided to take a break from watching documentaries to see the movie "No Strings Attached." Because it was new, popular, and the talk of the town when I first heard about it I thought I had to place a reserve on it and watch it. While romantic comedies are not really my cup of tea, this one is interesting because of its gender-role reversal.The normal story line of a romantic comedy happens when a man meets a woman and they interact in very ridiculous scenarios. Later, the man does something that derails the momentum of a possible relationship and then
For some reason The Green Lantern was panned by most critics and many comic book fans. For my part I don't understand why. I've long awaited a movie version of The Green Lantern and this film fit the bill as far as I was concerned.
