Olympus XZ-10 Hands-on Photos
Latest Camera Reviews
Panasonic Lumix DMC-G80 Review
Want to see exactly what the new Olympus XZ-10 premium compact camera looks like in the flesh?
Check out our hands-on gallery of photos of the Olympus XZ-10 compact camera, including a side-by-side comparison with the previous XZ-1 model.
Although equipped with a much smaller sensor than the Olympus XZ-1 and Stylus XZ-2, the new Olympus XZ-10 may still be of interest to serious photographers owing to its bright lens, full set of manual controls, 120fps high-speed HD video recording capabilities and 40% smaller size.

small sensor = waste of money... they need to put atleast 1/1.7" sized sensor :/
I was also surprised that Olympus decided to put a smaller sensor in this camera. Wonder why?
to save money...
You can't have everything. Bigger sensor, faster lens = bigger body. That is what XZ-2 is. XZ-10 trades sensor size for a compact body.
Canon S100 and Sony RX100 have bigger sensor in compact body, but look at the slowwww lenses.
cute little camera thanks for the review :)
An interesting looking camera. Looking forward to seeing some image samples.
I agree that it looks interesting.
Lets wait to see an extensive full test to discover what it's like to use and the photos it can produce.
The half closed lens cover doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

Customer Question
I have a 20 year old grandson with
and OD who has been in several public educational and residential placements over the past 14 years which have produced little change in his behaviors over that period of time. As an active advocate for him at his IEP team meetings and following the advice of a local pediatrician who works as a consultant regarding developmental and behavior disorders in special needs students, I have repeated sought to have a neuro Psychological assessment done to comprehensively determine the root of his difficulties. So far no such assessment has been done. My daughter has given me permission to act on her behalf in pursuing this. Am I on the right track with this and who can advise me further. Please respond.

Hi Ken:
I am not an expert in this field, but have done a fair amount of consulting with school systems on behalf of clients - and have sat in on MANY of those painfully irritating IEP meetings. It seems (at times) that their goal is to totally befuddle the parents, so I ALWAYS recommend having an advocate at your side who can stick up for you and remain focused when you get angry.
But your question... I think the buzzsaw you are running into with the school system is how they define the "Related Services" section of the I.D.E.A. act. Of course, they are invested in protecting their pool of resources (despite the laws of the land) - but in your specific case, they may have a legal leg to stand on if they can demonstrate that neuropsychological testing lies outside the parameters of the school's legal obligation. In other words, if this is an impairment that can create a "classification" for your grandson WITHOUT the neuropsychological testing (i.e., if the school psychologist can "adequately" classify your grandson by using other methods) then they will have fulfilled thier obligation.
My advice to you is to get legal council on this matter rather than psychological. A psychologist can advise you on what the I.D.E.A. law specifies as your rights, but an attorney can interpret the legal-ese in a manner that will at least clear up the impasse. If you have a case, then the attorney can also apply pressure more easily (and more effectively, quite frankly) than a psychologist.
Your goal (obviously) is to resolve this matter quickly so your grandson can proceed. All I'm saying is that the specific tests you are requesting may not actually be the responsibility of the school system, but legal counsel can help.
Best of luck to you-
Dr. Steve

Thank you for your response. It is clear and concide and I agree withit. A final question is; would you say that a neuro pschy assessment could be helpful enough for me to consider paying for it myself?
Dr. Steve
replied 6 years ago.
Hello again:
Well, three things to consider on that one:
(1) Unless you have a reason to believe that there has been an insult to the brain (injury, accident, disease, etc.), there is not much that neuropsych can do from a starting point of ADHD and/or ODD. A neuropsych is more geared toward determining which area of the brain has been affected, to what extent, and then working out a treatment plan to help the patient overcome his/her insult. (As an aside, another pathway toward brain damage is chronic drug abuse)
(2) If you DO decide to go with it, you need also ask the question: How will this help my grandson EDUCATIONALLY? You are pursuing this evaluation from the school system, so it has to relate to education/learning in order to be relevant. The testing would be (as you know, I am sure) very expensive, so having a clearly defined question will be vital. In my opinion, this will be difficult to do.
(3) . If you are thinking about this, your first step may be to set up a sit-down with a neurologist rather than a neuropsychologist. Thje neurologist can at least give you some options or help you to pare down your interest into feasible chunks for the tester to examine - or even tell you if you are on the right track. Some of the answers you seek may not be possible, and a neurologist would be the gate-keeper of all such information.
I hope this helped. I am a little tired, so fear my response may have been frazzled. But to recap: attorney for the school, neurologist before the testing. In general however, and knowing the little bit that I do about your grandson, I would lean toward
feeling that the neuropsych would uncover anything useful to your current situation.

Dispatches from the Urals
By Rohan Kamicheril
Chad Post comments on the variety and freshness that Russian authors from the Urals bring to the literary scene, over at Three Percent:
The distancing of the Russian provinces from Moscow has thus far brought little change to the intellectual provincialism of the regions. Only the rocky Urals have turned out to provide fertile soil for a cultural blossoming. There are in particular three literary figures from the Urals who need fear no comparison with modern writers from other areas: Alexei Ivanov, 38, from Perm; Igor Sakhnovsky, 50, from Yekaterinburg, and Olga Slavnikova..
The article at Sign and Sight has great write-ups on the authors and their latest works. For a sample of WWB-author Slavnikova's work, wander over to our archives and take a look at The Man Who Couldn't Die.

All Change for the Digital Economy: Copyright and Business Models in the Early Eighteenth Century
Isabella Alexander
University of Technology Sydney, Faculty of Law
October 1, 2010
Berkeley Technology Law Journal, Vol. 25, No. 3, 2010
This article argues that, contrary to contemporary assertions that today's debates over copyright are the product of outdated business models being threatened by innovators, this struggle between competing economic interests and different business models has existed since before the Statute of Anne was passed in 1710. Examining features of the eighteenth century book trade, and some of the early litigation that arose under the Statute of Anne, the paper draws out a number of features of continuity between the eighteenth century and modern times, as well as emphasizing points of difference. It looks at the way that early interpretations of the legislation sought to mediate between different interests in the operation of copyright law, as well as the ongoing role played by so-called 'copyright industries' in shaping that law.

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama - The Alabama Hammers are hoping some home-field advantage can help U-turn their season.
The Hammers, who have started the season 0-4 after winning the 2013 PIFL championship, host the Harrisburg (Pa.) Stampede tonight at 7 at the Propst Arena at the Von Braun Center. It's their first home game since the March 29 season opener.
Harrisburg is owned by New Orleans Saints receiver Marques Colston and is a new member of the Professional Indoor Football League this season. The Stampede is 2-2.
"The Stampede are dynamic on offense running the ball as well as they throw it," said Hammers coach Dean Cokinos. "We really need to put forth 60 minutes of solid football and eliminate the negative plays and have more winning plays, collectively, from all 20 players on our roster."
The Hammers entered the season with high hopes and what seemed to be an experienced roster. But unforeseen changes have made an impact.
"We have lost nine starters from the 2013 team and had another four key players not report to our camp and their replacements haven't really stepped up and performed as expected," Cokinos said. "We will continue to try and build and will make the necessary changes needed for us to compete at a higher level."
Defensively, the Hammers were the best statistically and by acclamation a year ago. However, they've allowed an average of 55 points per game. Two keys in 2013 were the pass rush and the success in getting off the field quickly. However, they have only seven sacks and are allowing 36-percent success on third downs and have allowed opponents to convert seven of nine fourth-down attempts.
Offensively, the explosive receivers are still there - reigning league MVP Mico McSwain has 10 TD catches - but the Hammers have thrown eight interceptions, converted only 32 percent of the time on third downs and have a net 17 yards' rushing; certainly it's a pass-happy game, but the lack of a running threat has hindered them.

| However, those who passionately advocate free software argue that their

A Massachusetts federal judge has granted preliminary approval to a class action lawsuit settlement resolving claims that J.Crew employees improperly obtained customers' ZIP codes. The J.Crew class action settlement will provide $20 vouchers to Class Members and $3,000 to plaintiffs if it becomes effective.
U.S. District Judge Richard G. Sterns approved the J.Crew ZIP code settlement on June 27 and conditionally certified a Class of "[a]ll persons who, during the period between June 20, 2009 and the date of the entry of the Preliminary Approval Order, used a Credit Card at a Massachusetts J. Crew Store and whose Personal Identification Information, including, but not limited to ZIP code, was requested and recorded by J.Crew at the Massachusetts J. Crew Store."
In a class action lawsuit filed last June, lead plaintiff Lauren Miller alleged that she began receiving unwanted junk mail after making credit card purchases at J.Crew where she was required to provide her ZIP code.
Miller further alleged in the J.Crew class action lawsuit that the retailer does not need ZIP code information to complete the transactions, nor is it required by the credit card companies. Instead, "J.Crew uses this information for its own marketing and promotional purposes."
The J.Crew class action lawsuit alleged that "[p]ossession of the consumer's ZIP code information, together with the customer's name, enables [J.Crew] to identify the customer's address and/or telephone number through the use of publicly available databases." The class action argued that the company sends unsolicited marketing and promotional materials and sells the once J.Crew ZIP codes and matching addresses and phone numbers to third parties for other marketing purposes in violation of Massachusetts law.
In the proposed J.Crew class action settlement agreement, the plaintiff states "[t]he action seeks to redress J.Crew's alleged unlawful invasion of its customers' privacy and its alleged violation of the laws of the commonwealth of Massachusetts designed to protect consumers' rights to be free from intrusive corporate data collection and marketing. The settlement substantially achieves this goal."
Miller had moved for preliminary approval of the proposed settlement agreement earlier in the month.

"I thought Bert has played three of his best games since he's been a Red Wing," Babcock said, following his team's 3-2 shootout victory over the Boston Bruins Friday at TD Center.
That's stretching it a bit, but Bertuzzi has been much better since returning from a six-game absence because of a sinus infection and dizziness. He is skating hard, making good decisions with the puck and taking the body.
He also scored the shootout winner that snapped Boston's 10-game winning streak.
"I felt like (expletive) out there for a while," Bertuzzi said. "When you're feeling 100 percent, you got the energy back, you got your rhythm back. It's been a noticeable difference for me."
It doesn't hurt that he's playing on a line with Datsyuk and Johan Franzen, who leads the team with 10 goals and 22 points.
"I think anyone who plays with Pavel is going to have the opportunities, playing some bigger minutes and getting more involved, holding onto the puck and making plays," Bertuzzi said. "It gives Pash a little bit of freedom; he doesn't have to do a lot of the work."
Bertuzzi made a nice pass between Zdeno Chara's skates to set up Datsyuk's goal in the second period. It was Bertuzzi's first point in eight games. He has gone 14 games without a goal since scoring in the season opener.
"It's always nice to contribute, but you got to get wins," Bertuzzi said. "I got to make sure I'm contributing, whether it's a screen or getting the puck to someone. Goals and assists nowadays are kind of secondary."
Babcock said he likes that Bertuzzi has been "big and strong and skating."
"And the other thing I liked about him was taking care of the puck," Babcock said. "When Bert gets himself in trouble is when he's too cute (with the puck). But when he plays big and gets to the net and he's hard on pucks and hard on people, he's a big man who can skate."
Bertuzzi makes adjustment in shootout
After catching a rut in the ice, Bertuzzi had to improvise a little on his customary shootout move, where he approaches the goaltender slowly, goes wide, cuts to the middle and turns his back.
"I kind of have an idea what I'm going to do before I go out there," Bertuzzi said. "You're better off having a little bit of an idea and once in a while you're going to have to adapt a little bit. I'm really not a shooter, so I try to find a move that's going to work."
Bertuzzi has scored on 12-of-34 career shootout attempts, though not all of them with this move. Red Wings goalie Jimmy Howard said the slow approach throws off a goalie's timing.
"The good thing about a breakaway in the shootout is you get your timing down, so you're backing up as fast as they're skating into you," Howard said. "When they come in that slow, your mind will wonder a little — watch the shot, watch the shot, deke, you know? So you have to be paying attention at all times."
Datsyuk said of Bertuzzi's move: "Now it's an HD camera, you can see everything. Maybe he still thinks we have an old camera. Maybe that's why he goes slow."
Odds & ends
-- Babcock said the rare visit to Boston was great, but added, "I was disappointed Boston was shut down last night (Thanksgiving). I don't know how you can come to Boston and have the Oyster House on Union be shut down like that. You shouldn't be allowed to have games on days when that happens. But other than that it was a good trip."
-- Datsyuk, on the game: "They're a big team, they tried to forecheck a lot and pressure. It was a tough game. Both teams played well, had many shots and I think it was fun to watch."
-- Red Wings captain Nicklas Lidstrom played his 1,515th game, passing Steve Yzerman to move into sole possession of third place on the franchise's all-time list, behind Gordie Howe (1,687) and Alex Delvecchio (1,549).
-- The Red Wings have won four in a row against the Bruins, outscoring them 14-5.

I have a disease. It's a disorder, really, a syndrome to be exact. It's not life threatening, it doesn't cause me any physical pain or trauma. I don't have to go through chemo or intensive physical therapy. I don't have to be constantly monitored or report regularly to a special clinic for treatment. As diseases go, I guess it's really a pretty good one to get stuck with, considering the alternatives.
Although, my disease has no cure. And it doesn't even have one treatment known to work for everyone. And as far as awareness goes, I'm the only one I've ever seen who has a fashionable colored bracelet to support my cause. There's no telethons, no bake sale fund raisers. The general public knows little to nothing about my disease.The little they do know is a ridiculous generalization based on movies and TV that isn't true with the majority of people with my disease.
I have Tourette's Syndrome.
For those who don't know, Tourette's Syndrome is a neurological disorder that causes a person to have involuntary vocal and/or motor "tics." These tics can range from very mild to very severe, and based on that can be either a slight annoyance or a severely disabling force in someone's life. The stereotype I mentioned earlier that people have about TS is that affected people will randomly shout out obscenities. While this is something that can happen with TS, it is actually very rare. Most people with TS have very mild symptoms, usually something involving a motor tic; like facial grimaces or movement of the limbs, or a vocal tic; like a grunting or clearing of the throat. TS has been around a long time, but as with any mental disease, many more cases have been diagnosed in recent years due to a better understanding of the disorder.
Tourette's Syndrome usually starts in childhood, and reaches it's peak in adolescence or late teens. It usually diminishes, in most cases entirely, by adulthood. There are, of course, exceptions to that rule. And I would be one of them. I was never diagnosed as a kid, but looking back I'm sure I had it. When I was in late elementary/early middle school, I started getting a few tics. The main ones were cracking my neck repeatedly, or rubbing my chin on my shoulder. We didn't really think much of it, my family just dismissed it a nervous twitch that I'd grow out of. Which, eventually I did. And I was virtually tic free for most of my young adulthood. For some reason or another, my TS came back with a vengeance about 5 years ago, when I was away at College. It was at this time that I started doing some research, and figured out that TS may have been what was making me do what I did. So I went to the doctor and told him my story. He said it sounded like TS to him, but I should see a neurologist. And so, the search began to find a neurologist in the Valley who treated TS. Eventually I found one, and was indeed diagnosed, and then the games began.
As I mentioned earlier, there is no one treatment known to be effective against TS. And so, people like myself are often subjected to a trial and error approach to treatment. The neurologist I went to basically referred to their medical books and treatment guides and prescribed drug after drug, hoping to eventually find one, or a combination of several, that worked. Unfortunately, we never found the right drugs. Each time it was the same thing, I'd come in, they'd ask me how the pills were working, I'd say "not so good," and they'd try something else. The main problem with this approach was these were some heavy duty anti-psychotic drugs we were dealing with, and each of them came with their own array of side effects. By far the worst of these were drowsiness and weight gain. No matter what pill or pills I was on, I always felt like a walking zombie, and all I wanted to do with any free time was sleep. I could sleep for 12, 15 hours a night and still wake up, eat breakfast, and go back to sleep. And the weight gain was a real killer. Over the course of about 2 years of experimentation, I ballooned up about 100 pounds. It was after visiting my family doctor, who was shocked at my weight gain and the fact that the neurologist didn't seem to be taking this into consideration, that I decided to look for a new neurologist.
Neurologist number 2 seemed somewhat fascinated by me. I think I was their first ever case of TS. That, of course, did not bode well for me. After a lengthy first meeting where we discussed my history, I pretty much realized this neurologist also had no idea what to do with me. But they seemed like they really wanted to try, so I let them. They prescribed some more drugs, and I tried them out. Unfortunately, we didn't find the right ones there either. At a later meeting, when I was discussing what it was like dealing with TS, and I explained about how I can control it to a point, the neurologist was taken aback. I guess they had no idea this was something within my capabilities. This led to even more doubt in neurologist #2's knowledge of my problem. And so, after the next round of drugs ran out, with no improvement once again, I decided I'd had enough, and that I'd rather be a little twitchy than deal with all the side effects of drugs that don't work at all, and I quit, cold turkey. No neurologist, no drugs, just me and my TS.
When I first went off the meds, I actually felt pretty great. I had loads more energy, I was losing some of the weight I'd put on, and I actually wasn't Ticcing too badly. It was pretty great. I had seriously been on hardcore anti-psychotics for about 4 years, and I was finally drug free. Maybe it was because I was happier about my overall situation, or just more alert and awake, but my tics really were noticeably better. Unfortunately, almost a year later, they've gotten pretty bad again. In fact, they're getting more severe than I think I've ever had them in the past. When they come on now, they're often so intense, I have to just stop what I'm doing until the tic has passed. This can be a big problem in situations like work and driving. It's hard to explain, but I just kind of close my eyes, and things get real tense as I try to hold it in, but then it just explodes out of me anyway. The main tics I have right now are a facial grimace where I also clench my teeth, as well as an ever so annoying high pitched repeating of the word "Yes!". And lately the vocal tic has been evolving into a really infuriating "Whooooooooo!!!," as if I were Ric Flair of WWE fame. So that is definitely making things much more noticeable in work and social situations, which of course is extremely frustrating.
It's hard to explain to someone who's never experienced it what having TS is like. If I had to describe it in a single word, it would be frustrating. Try to imagine what it would be like to not be able to control yourself. Not like you can't stop eating, or really needing a smoke, but actually not being able to control the things your body and voice do. Even as you're doing these things, these "tics," your mind is working fine, and your constantly telling yourself to stop, but it's just not working. It's like you're trapped inside your mind, just watching yourself, powerless to stop it till the tic is done. I do have some degree of control over my tics, but it is getting harder and harder to do. The only way to stop myself from ticcing is to be constantly 100% focused on the idea of not ticcing. This, of course, is basically impossible to do all the time. I would compare holding back a tic to holding in a sneeze. You feel the urge coming on, and you try to hold it in, but the pressure keeps building and building until you feel like you're going to explode until you finally let it out, and you feel better. Now image having to sneeze like that about every 30 seconds.
Based on my descriptions of what it's like, you can probably gather that depression is a big side effect of TS. It's very hard on the psyche to try so hard every day non stop to control yourself, to no avail. It's hard to see the stares of strangers in movie theaters, concerts, and other public places. It's hard not to notice everyone at the office looking away when you tic, trying to be nice and act like they don't notice. It's hard to explain to little kids who don't know any better why you're making those funny noises. It's hard to think of what your wife must go through explaining to her her family and friends about you behind your back. It's hard to get yourself to go out and do the things you used to enjoy, instead of staying home and hiding yourself to avoid the awkwardness. It's hard to sit here and write this right now, pausing every 30 seconds to scream "Woooooo!" at the top of my lungs, while my wife downstairs urges me to calm down.
But I must say my family and friends have been nothing but supportive, and I wouldn't be able to get through this without them. I thank God every day for my wife, who is the most caring, understanding woman I could have ever ended up with. And my friends all but ignore the tics when we're hanging out, which happens a lot, because I tend to tic more when I'm happy and having fun. I've been extremely blessed in all other aspects of my life, and I really do feel like I've had some incredibly great luck. So, if TS is the one bad thing that I've got going for me, I'm ok with that. I've been debating it for weeks, but I think writing this has helped me finalize my decision. I'm going to give the doctors another shot. I'm going to go see a neurologist again and see if we can start from scratch. My tics are extremely severe right now, and I've got to do something to try and get them under control. So wish me luck, America. And please, if you've got any suggestions, send them my way. I'll be keeping you all updated on how things go via this blog. But I promise it won't always be a big downer. There'll be plenty more ridiculousness to come.

The rumor floated around for the past couple of months. But that's all it was. A rumor. Dangling in the wind but not hitting the ground.
Until Wednesday morning. And there it was. Not sports-talk radio emerging from KPUR (1440-AM). Instead, a dagger to my heart.
"The true oldies channel," the promo blurted out harshly. And so it was. One oldie after another.
I have nothing against oldies. I love old-time rock 'n' roll. But I also love sports-talk radio. Especially ESPN's sports-talk radio.

I'm not exactly sure what I'm feeling about the results of the Jerry Sandusky child sex-abuse trial.
Am I happy? No.
Am I disappointed? No.
I know I'm disgusted that someone could do such things.

River Road's UIL reassignment has been lost in all the anguish and uproar surrounding Tascosa and its placement in Class 5A.
River Road turned in an enrollment figure that would have made it one of the largest schools in Class 2A. Being among the largest schools in any classification often proves to be a benefit in extracurricular activities.

The status of Kitty, the cute lil' stray kitten for whom I've been trying to find a home, took a turn for the worse this week.
On Sunday, I knocked on the doors of about 10 homes in my neighborhood area. Each appeared to be that of a cat owner, so I was confident of Kitty's chances.
If you're new to Kitty's tales, I've written three previous blogs that will help you catch up on this story. Here are the links:

Does anyone realize that the Dallas Mavericks might be a better team this season than last season?
The easy and lazy assessment of the Mavericks is team owner Mark Cuban has blown up the team that won last season's NBA title. The hard and difficult assessment is the Mavericks could be better.

Sophie the dog and I were on a road trip a few weeks back. She loves riding along and listening to whatever book on CD, musical CD or ESPN Radio station that happens to be playing.
For the most part, she sleeps, looks out the window and waits for a treat to help pass the time.
However, Sophie's ears perked up when I popped in the Beatles "1" CD. Song after song she told me how things would have been if she had been the fifth Beatle. Of course, I told her the group broke up in 1970, 31 years before she was born. No matter.

The college football season is only two weekends old, but already a strong candidate has emerged for the Heisman Trophy. That candidate is a big surprise: Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson.
The sophomore, who played some as a backup last season, made the first start of his career in the season opener, a 30-10 win against Connecticut. All Robinson did was go 19-of-22 passing for 186 yards and a touchdown with no interceptions. Oh yeah, he also rushed for 197 yards (school record for a QB) and a TD on 29 carries.

I'm eco-friendly. Or at least I try to be.
I used to go bonkers at the vast amount of junk mail invading my mailbox at home. Piles of letters from phone companies offering special services. Gobs of letters from credit card companies offering sweet deals. Mountains of wasted paper that got a cursory glance from me and thrown away.
You get the picture.
At first, I shredded anything with my name on it, then recycled the rest. Then I decided to write "Return to sender!!! Stop your harassing junk mail!!!!" before dropping them off at my neighborhood post office.

I tried hard to push the thought into the recesses of my brain for about the last two weeks.
Do I have cancer? Or not? And that was about as far as my thinking would go because I didn't want to play the "what-if" game day after day, hour after hour.
The worries started in mid-October when I went in for my annual physical. Among other things, my doctor did the prostate exam. Not fun, but I suppose it's under that category headlined "Better safe than sorry."

Commonwealth Fund launches Safety Net Medical Home Initiative
The Commonwealth Fund, along with eight others, is launching a national Safety Net Medical Home Initiative, which will provide $6 million over four years to help 68 community health centers in five states become patient-centered medical homes.
Health centers in Colorado, Idaho, Massachusetts, Oregon and Pennsylvania will be given technical assistance, training and support to improve how they deliver care to patients.
"In order to have a truly high-performing healthcare system in this country we must have high-quality, well-coordinated, patient-centered primary care," said Commonwealth Fund President Karen Davis. "This initiative is an investment in the long-term health of these clinics as well as this model of care. With safety net clinics leading the way, we hope to show how all primary care practices can transition into true medical homes providing the best care possible."
The initiative is being led by Qualis Health, a Seattle-based quality improvement organization.
"While many of the participating community health centers and other safety net clinics have implemented creative innovations to provide high quality, cost effective, patient-centered care, all have identified – and are committed to closing - gaps between their current systems and the best achievable performance," said Jonathan Sugarman, MD, the principal investigator and president and CEO of Qualis Health.
The goals of the initiative are to transform these health centers and promote state policy options to ensure that the model is sustained and spread throughout each state. Officials hope that at the end of the initial grant period, all 68 health centers will be recognized as models of excellence.
The initiative will work with existing safety net clinics and community stakeholders to help clinics reach high benchmark levels of quality, efficiency and patient experience. In addition to technical assistance, each state coordinating center will receive $500,000 over the life of the grant period.
The initiative will include funding and support to help health centers make the most efficient use of their existing health information technology and resources. To best leverage funds, funders sought participants that had already demonstrated a commitment to the patient-centered medical home model and had taken initial steps to improve the care they provide.
"We are extremely pleased to be able to partner with such a wide range of healthcare experts and funders on this initiative, one of the few efforts to specifically target safety-net clinics," said Melinda Abrams, assistant vice president for the Commonwealth Fund's Patient-Centered Medical Home Initiative. "Ideally, at the end of the grant period, these states will have an established network of high quality health clinics serving their most vulnerable residents and we will have a model for improving healthcare practice and policy that can be replicated across the country."
Aside from the Commonwealth Fund, other involved in the initiative are the Colorado Health Foundation, the Jewish Healthcare Foundation of Pittsburgh, the Northwest Health Foundation of Portland, Ore., Partners Healthcare in Boston, The Boston Foundation, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, the Blue Cross of Idaho Foundation for Health and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston.

Kids will love helping you make this adorable Lucky St. Pattie's Day Banner from Laura Kelly. Decorated with colorful buttons, crayon shavings, and paint chips, this banner is a great way to get your home ready for St. Patrick's Day!
- Old crayons
- Memo pad backs (or cardboard)
- Kite string
- Sharpie marker
- Scissors
- Paint chips
- Buttons Galore Buttons
- Adhesive
- Various embellishments
I used a Sharpie marker and doodled up a bunch of shamrocks on the cardboard backs from used up memo pads then cut them out. With a little help from my fairy godchildren, we decorated them for the garland. One of my favorites was melting shaved crayons in the microwave onto a cardboard shamrock.
Emily was pretty excited about cutting up the paint chips and decorating one with layers of color and black Sharpie dots in the centers.
Kylie and I got a little crazy with the buttons from our Laura Kelly collection. We really love using our super cute little pink glue gun from Adtech!
We doodled designs on several more of them and simply colored them in with crayon. Then we cut out 5 rectangles and lettered the word L U C K Y on them then colored them with crayons and embellished with buttons.
- Using kite string, we tied it all together and hung it from the mantle!

Scrapbook MAX! Digital Scrapbooking Software
Archival Quality Digital Scrapbooking Software
Does anyone know why I am missing elements and such from the first 12 pages of a thirty page scrapbook? I published the scrapbook as a slideshow. How do I copy them or import back into SBM?
I need help. I have several unpublished scrapbooks (some are huge)...they are missing photos and embellishments (gray boxes w/loading errors)... Last night, I deleted a bunch of photos (I thought they were duplicates), etc. from my Windows Photo Gallery and accidentally emptied my recycle bin. I am just sick as to what to do.
I am not new to Scrapbook Max, but I haven't really been involved in the community/forums, etc. I would like to but I find it confusing. Is they a tutorial on how to use the forums?
Also, I added an album, but when I open the pages in the album to view them, they are huge.
Please help! I need to get my scrapbook pages fixed asap for a graduation video. A lot of my pages are missing elements and showing gray boxes in their place.
I have several completed scrapboooks. When I open some of my pages, some of them are missing embellishments, words, etc. Some of the pages in each scrapbook are ok. Does anyone know why this is happening?
Does anyone know if it is possible to publish only one page of a scrapbook of say 20 pages?

Match Ups – Toronto Raptors v/s Cleveland Cavaliers
Sorry for the short hiatus but I am back and ready to break down the Cleveland Cavaliers. The beast's in the East made a few roster changes and breaking the team down is my guest blogger, Anthony from Paneech.
Anthony (@paneech1472) covers all Ohio sports over at his blog Paneech.com. For the season he has set a motto: "If Cavs stay healthy engrave the trophy".
Expect the Cavs to be hungry all season long. The abrupt exit from last years playoffs has left a sour taste in the mouths of all Cav's players. Bringing in Shaquille O'Neal is a great move as Cleveland will surely benefit from having a true center who can score. Ben Wallace was a force as a rebounder in his day, but nobody had to guard him when the Cavs had the ball. This was greatly exposed in the Orlando series. Mo Williams and Delonte West will be back with a salty chip on their shoulders as well, they have some proving to do from that series.
Most of the focus will again be on LeBron James and how he handles the sea of questions he will have to field all season about free agency and whether or not he will leave Cleveland at the end of the season. Expect James to put up numbers similar to last year with a few more assists and a few less points and rebounds. Having Shaq in the paint will surely take the stress of creating offense single-handedly out of James' mind.
The only thing that can stop the Cavs this season is the Cavs. Shaq needs to stay healthy and play 75% of the games. James, West, and Williams will also have to play in a majority of the games. Zyldrunas Ilgauskas needs to realize he isn't there to shoot threes and get his butt in the low post game more. If Cleveland can keep this starting five intact and hungry throughout the regular season, the playoffs should be a given.
Last Season Record: 0 – 3
Blowout central was the theme of this series. In all 3 games the Raptors were held to under 100 points as a team and lost by an average of 18. Just to put things in perspective, Wally Szczerbiak averaged 14 points! Allowing the Cavaliers to get 4 guys in double digits each time showed the lack of defense that was exploited by opponents all year long. Bosh missed the final game but it would have hardly mattered as the Cavs just had too much fire power. Their best position (SF) was the Raptors weakest and Bosh continued to struggle against in your face defenders like Varejao.
Stacking Up
The Bigs: After a short stint out west, Shaq is back in the east and his mission is simple – "Get the king a ring". Last season Bosh was pushed around like a rag doll, making Shaq look like he was 25 again which in turn fueled RuPaul-gate. This year, Shaq may not play as much but against the Raptors (who he tends to eat for dinner), it would be surprising to see him sit one out. Big Z has definitely lost a step or two but he can still make that jump shot. The way the Raptors play, it allows Z to stay on the outside and leave the rebounding to Varejao, Shaq or whoever is playing in the front court with him. The Raptors need to make Z play on both ends. Varejao can't be overlooked either, his hustle makes up for the lack of any offensive game. Defensively he has the youngest legs for the Cavs and will keep making it hard for Bosh to score. Bargnani will be relied on for his man D and ability to bring out atleast one defender. No matter how you slice this one, the Raptors are facing a tall task.
Edge: Cavaliers
The Wings: The Raptors SF spot got an upgrade this offseason but it's not going to change the fact that Lebron will continue to dominate. The Cavaliers may not have much depth beyond him at the wings but they don't really need it. Hedo is going to have to make Lebron work hard on D while on the other side of the floor he needs to communicate with the help defender (you think they Raps won't be doubling Lebron almost every time down the floor?) to try and force Lebron into taking jump shots. They gotta bank on the odds that for every 1 he makes he misses 2. No matter how well the wings play him, Lebron is still going to get to the basket. Senseless fouls from the softer Raptor front court will negate all the bad jump shots James takes throughout the game. Playing the Cavaliers doesn't allow for the team to pick its poison rather just use all the live bodies available to not kill you before the game is over.
Edge: Cavaliers
The Guards: Mo Williams is a quality guard but I am not sold on the idea that he is an all-star. Most of the Cleveland offense will still run through Lebron and players like Williams, Gibson and West become shooters. The Cavs also added another perimeter threat this off-season in Raptor fan favorite Anthony Parker. All 4 guys are can shoot the 3 ball and defending it may still be the Achilles heel of the wings/guards on this Raptor roster. Jose's clap defense sure isn't going to get it done but I am hopeful that the addition of players like Jack and DeRozan will help out in that area. On offense, the guards will have to make their jump shots because once they get to the lane they are going to be looking at a wall of Shaq and Varejao not to mention Lebron who is known for a swat or 2 per game. I am going out on a limb to say that, if the perimeter is protected, the Raptors will be just fine at this spot.
Edge: Even
Predicted Record: Raptors 1 – Cavaliers 2 (Just be glad we only play them 3 times!)
BONUS COVERAGE: I tend to hit up Yahoo's Ball Don't Lie blog a few times each day and came across this beauty. Seriously?? Teams send out tickets to the NBA Finals at the start of the season? The jinx is on and as @jeskeets asked in his post… please tell me what other teams do this?
