2005-2006 programs
My short program is to La donna e mobile
by Verdi. It is a fun, spirited program that I like to perform.
I skated to Andrea Bocelli singing that song in Steve Dissons
event on NBC last year. I enjoyed skating the program so much,
I made it into my new short program.
My new long program is to three of my favorite pieces by Beethoven.
He is my favorite composer. He composed such powerful music
that it can be felt, not just heard. The opening
is the 5th Symphony, followed by Moonlight Sonata, and finishing
with Ode to Joy. One of my favorite movies is Immortal Beloved,
telling the life story of Beethoven. Although not entirely
accurate to his life, it does show how his music evokes such
passion and emotion.
For the first time in years, I actually look forward to practicing
my programs so I can listen to the music !

Sir Patrick Doyle
OF WAR: The young man, working in the fields, hears the
drums off in the distance. He is moved as he has never been
moved before
..from deep within, there is a calling.
As the soldiers
approach, he makes a decision, he must go with them!
Original Soundtrack Recording The Civil War
Featured in the Film by Ken Burns
JOHNNY COMES MARCHING HOME: His steps are filled withmuch
bravado as they march through town after town. He is swept
up in his own confidence as they pass by the young adies blowing
kisses and the old men saluting. Bring them on!
he yells.
Original Soundtrack Recording The Civil War
Featured in the Film by Ken Burns
GRACE: The reality of war hits hard. The dead and dying
surround him by day and the screams of boys just like him,
from both sides of the shooting, haunt him at night. Very
quickly there's a new understanding of what he is doing here,
a new sense of purpose,
. new priorities.
US Navy Band
Composer John Newton
HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC: Yes, Johnny comes marching home.
With the freedom of his country-men secure, and a respect
for what that means, he is very different from the young man
who heard the drums while in the field. Heading home he dreams
of his family and of the life he will build
the dirt road to the farm he is greeted by a group of children,
one of whom runs ahead to the house proclaiming
. Hes
home! Hes home!
The Patriot is home!

A 7-year-old boy was admitted with a 1-month history of diminishing lower extremity strength and progressive loss of bowel and bladder control. He had been hospitalized 2 months earlier with similar symptoms. At that time, a benign paraspinous angiolipomatous tumor producing extradural spinal cord compression was diagnosed and successfully treated with angiographic embolization followed by decompressive laminectomy. Physical examination on admission revealed a frail, thin boy with a large subcutaneous mass involving the left chest wall and extending from the left nipple to the left axilla. Multiple smaller subcutaneous masses were also present on both arms and legs. Areas of increased skin pigmentation were scattered over his body, and a patch of roughened scalelike skin was present on his neck. Fixed deformities of the feet and ankles were present.

It's the elimination of a free-ride zone downtown, for bus riders. It's been in place for four decades. And on Friday (Sept. 28) it will go away. Documentary explores fatigue among 'helping professions' By Tom Banse • Oct 7, 2011 TACOMA, Wash. - Northwest states have long been top producers of Peace Corps volunteers and are also home to some of the biggest global relief charities. What gets less attention is the post-traumatic stress and burnout some of those workers come home with. A new documentary premiering in Seattle Saturday explores "compassion fatigue" among the "helping professions." A string of natural disasters in the news last year and the imminent 10th anniversary of 9/11 made some communication and English majors at Pacific Lutheran University curious.

It is truly remarkable that the essence of ancient rammed earth construction is gaining popularity around the world and contributing to conservation of precious natural resources. Stabilised earth does not require using woody biomass or other organic materials which many predict are not sustainable. Some experts calculate that if rammed earth homes were built in the same quantity as frame homes it would eliminate the need to clear cut one million acres of trees every year.
There are many examples of rammed earth builders working on multi-million dollar structures around the world. For instance, rammed earth walls are part of the $21M USD VanDusen Botanical Garden visitor centre in Canada. The elegance achieved and the benefits for the planet have captured the attention of environmentally concerned people from all walks of life. Many financially successful people are working with visionary rammed earth builders to create customised homes that combine function with art.
Softer Environmental Impact
These custom homes integrate a menu of low impact green features like solar water heaters, electric produced from solar energy, geothermal heat, energy efficient appliances, and water recovery and reuse systems. Attention is given to practical, energy efficient lighting and clean interior air treatments that conserve energy and promote health.
Climate conscious custom home builders and owners are making a genuine investment in the future of the planet and are changing the way people think about our diminishing natural resources. A mud brick shack is no longer the image consumers have of rammed earth building. Custom homes are the subject of media attention and leads to a greater number of people becoming educated and informed about modern building techniques.
The public gains knowledge about the benefits of rammed earth and thinks about ways to use the technology in their part of the world. In Edmonton, Alberta, planners are using excavated soil at a huge railroad and building project to construct rammed earth walls. The combination of public, government, and private projects are creating numerous examples of rammed earth practices that are inspiring others to pursue the same modern approach to construction.
It is a modern approach rooted in ancient times that is allowing environmentally friendly construction of spaces that take advantage of the earth beneath our feet. When someone invests in a distinctly customised home with the latest green attributes it serves as an example to others that we can take steps to protect the planet. The use of rammed earth conserves resources and serves as an enduring statement that we can enjoy a dream home in ways we many never have dreamed possible.

There are five buildings in this facility, and seven more in Northern
California that form this division. They're far enough apart that we
have separate staff for each campus. Then there is corporate in New
York, but our IP ranges are shared between facilities around the world.
As long as we stay within the guidelines from corporate, we're pretty

Up until about 2002, we still had floppy drives in all systems, and
that meant we carried Tomsrtbt (and similar for non-Linux) in the shirt
pockets. However, corporate says... and that was basically the end of
removable media drives on workstations, and that trickled down into our
servers. The hardware types who do installs and repairs have what
amount to be portable drives. We're very dependent on networking, so
installs basically consist of popping the hood to inspect things and
do an inventory, connecting a bootable CD, and doing a network install.
As most of the working systems are not in space where it's convenient
to work on, if the system can't be brought up from the console, it's
at least temporarily replaced, and repaired in a shop area with the
necessary support.

AVALON, N.J. - Arnett Moultrie and Maurice Harkless sat next to each other behind a foldout table in the back of a white tent protecting them from a scattering light rain.
To Harkless' left were two clowns painting faces and blowing up giraffe balloons. To Moultrie's right was a large speaker blaring Lady Gaga at the control of a middle-aged white DJ. And in front of them stood a growing line of autograph-seeking fans, many wearing a 76ers jersey, T-shirt or hat.
The two 76ers rookies, both first-round selections, rarely looked at each other. They each held a black Sharpie and signed everything that was put on the table in front of them. They posed for pictures and smiled at waving fans.

A NEW REPORT from City Controller Alan Butkovitz says property assessments under the Actual Value Initiative will be less accurate than they are now.
Butkovitz said yesterday that the administration "has not performed a credible job of improving assessment accuracy, uniformity and fairness" in executing AVI.
Butkovitz, a vocal critic of Mayor Nutter's handling of the property-tax overhaul, paid Carnegie Mellon University professor Robert Strauss $27,500 to examine the administration's new assessments, which will be the basis for tax bills starting next year.

CLEMSON - The closing statement Brad Brownell made to reporters after Clemson's season-ending defeat in the NIT semifinals in New York City came out of nowhere.
It was Brownell's view on the changing landscape in his industry, and why he thought his Tigers far exceeded expectations this winter.
"I don't think in college sports as much any more, there are that many true teams in college athletics," Brownell said. "There's a lot of teams that wear the same jerseys, but I don't think there's that many true teams in college sports anymore. I think there's a lot of agendas going on that really make it hard for coaches and players to all get paddling in the same direction.
"That's one of the reasons we were better than people thought. We were one of the few teams that really were a team."
Junior forward K.J. McDaniels soared from athletic yet unknown wing to first-team all-ACC, yet as his coach and teammates tell it, he never got a big head about his success.
McDaniels' sidekick? Some nights it was point guard Rod Hall, some nights it was center Landry Nnoko, some nights it was who's-got-the-hot-hand shooting guard Damarcus Harrison or Jordan Roper. Six other players had their hand in the cookie jar from time to time as well.
"We had guys that were unselfish. We had guys that accepted roles, did their jobs and were proud to do their jobs, and weren't trying to do more than that," Brownell said in Wednesday's press conference to wrap up the season. "The guys got along really well. Because of that, we played as close to our potential, on most nights, as most people."
Programs like UConn, Florida and Wisconsin flourished in the Final Four by embracing the team-ness of basketball. Even Kentucky and its late-blooming cast of one-and-done talents (presumably) was praised by Brownell, for the way the Wildcats came together in March.
"It's not easy, now. It's really hard with Coach (John) Calipari to do it with that much turnover every year," Brownell said. "Managing rosters is a big part of this, in an ever-changing culture where people are leaving more quickly and people become disenchanted so fast, who aren't satisfied with waiting their turn.
"Being a part of the team isn't as important as it used to be in some ways, and that becomes very challenging."
Over the limit?
All 12 of the Tigers' scholarship players could conceivably return to the 2014-15 roster. Gabe Devoe and Donte Grantham are already signed for next season.
That's one more scholarship than the 13 allowed in NCAA Division I basketball, if McDaniels decides to return for his senior year.
Brownell doesn't yet know of McDaniels' intentions, but regardless, he figures the situation will resolve easily with a potential transfer.
"I haven't met with every kid to see what they're thinking. They see what's coming back, they see how much they're playing, and they know whether they're happy with that," Brownell said. "It usually works itself out because guys really want to play. They don't just want to play a little; they want to play a lot. I can't play you all 25 minutes; I just can't."
Ten different Tigers started a game this season, but only six averaged more than 15 minutes per game. Guard Devin Coleman already transferred at midseason.
"I want our players to have a great college experience," Brownell said. "You only get to do this one time in your life, I want you to enjoy it, I want you to fulfill the dreams you have for yourself, and if they're not being fulfilled here, then we need to help you find another place. Sometimes that happens."
On the mend
Forward Jaron Blossomgame (bruised leg, suffered March 18) and guard Patrick Rooks (hip injury, suffered last fall) will ease their way into summer workouts.
"They're both better. They're fine," Brownell said of the pair of freshmen. "They're not ready to do anything full-speed yet. But we hope those guys will both be ready shortly."
Rooks redshirted the 2013-14 season, and could give Clemson some much-needed shooting depth. Meanwhile, Blossomgame finished with 4.9 points and 5.0 rebounds per game his first season back from a broken leg, but he missed the last three games of the Tigers' NIT run.
"I'm thankful made it as long as he did," Brownell said. "I'm very thankful that Jaron got to play his freshman year because I know how hard that kid worked and the obstacles he overcame; he deserved his freshman year and helped us win some big games."

Even though there are several free applications with which one can easily share his or her desktop with other people, Screenleap, a new webapp, has further simplified the process of screen sharing. With Screenleap, there is no limit to the number of individuals you can allow to view what's happening on your desktop, and you don't even have to register for an account, download or install anything, plus the app is completely free of charge for screen sharing.
To make use of Screenleap, you only need to have Java Runtime Environment on your computer, and this is already running in most people's computer. When you run Screenplay for the very first time, you will be asked to permit the service to run within your web browser, but apart from this, you do not need to set up any other thing. Once you get to the site, click for your screen to be shared and you are ready to go. As soon as your screen sharing period begins, you will see a link that you can send to anyone that you want to view what is happening on your screen. The URL is not active when your screen sharing period is over, and even though advanced tools such as chat, zooming and annotations are not available to you, once the app is running, you still have a very easy method to share what's happening on your screen with other people.
Of course there are several other tools for collaboration and screen sharing. Some of these other tools include GoToMyPC, Join.me, LogMeIn, and Team Viewer. You may prefer to use any of these other options, but you should consider keeping Screenleap in your collection as it may come in handy when you do not have the strength or time to set up any of the others.

A Potter County Sheriff's Office deputy arrested a Las Vegas man Thursday after finding $400,000 worth of marijuana during a traffic stop west of Amarillo.
Benjamin Griffin, 24, was charged with possession of marijuana over 50 pounds and less than 2,000 pounds, a second-degree felony, after the deputy found about 69 pounds of high-grade marijuana in his vehicle.
Sheriff Brian Thomas said the stop occurred on Interstate 40 near mile marker 60. A deputy stopped Griffin on a traffic violation and noticed several indicators of criminal activity, Thomas said.
When Griffin refused to give consent for a search of the vehicle, Thomas said a Narcotic Detection Canine was called to the scene. The deputy searched the vehicle after receiving an alert from the dog to a narcotic odor, and found the drugs hidden inside two duffle bags in the luggage compartment.
Thomas said Griffin was booked into Potter County Detention Center.

A: According to the National Institute of Mental Health, schizophrenia is a severe, chronic and disabling brain disorder that affects about 1 percent of Americans. It is a biological disorder.
Q: What symptoms might someone with schizophrenia display?
A: Symptoms of schizophrenia fall into several categories: positive symptoms, negative symptoms and cognitive symptoms.
Positive symptoms include hallucination, delusions, disorganized thinking and movement disorders. Hallucinations frequently include smells, seeing things and feeling things that no one else around them experiences. The most common hallucination is hearing voices.
The negative symptoms of schizophrenia are associated with disruptions in typical emotions and behaviors. These symptoms include a flat affect (when a person's face appears immobile and unresponsive), lack of pleasure in activities, little speech and difficulty or an inability initiating or persisting in goal directed activities.
Cognitive symptoms included poor focusing and attention, difficulty using information immediately after learning, and difficulty understanding information and making decisions. The onset of symptoms may be sudden (e.g., psychotic symptoms that include hallucinations and delusions), or slow and gradual (e.g., social withdrawal and avoidance, loss of interest in work, school, or family, deterioration in hygiene, unusual and bizarre behaviors, increase in anger).
Q: When does it usually develop and who gets it?
A: Schizophrenia affects both men and women. Symptoms of schizophrenia usually begin as early as the mid-teens through the mid-30s. Men tend to develop symptoms at a younger age than women.
It is important to be aware of cultural differences. Ideas or thoughts that may appear delusional in one culture may not be in another (e.g., witchcraft, spiritual visions, medicine men).
Q: How is schizophrenia treated?
A: The initial and usually the first course of treatment will involve an antipsychotic medication. These medications, when taken properly, can decrease and eliminate the agitated feelings, hallucinations and delusions. However, the medication must be taken regularly. A variety of approaches may help along with the medications such as cognitive behavioral therapy, family therapy and educations, self-help groups, life skills training and psychotherapy.
Q: How should friends and family members respond to someone with schizophrenia, especially if they make strange statements?
A: Family members and friends can be very instrumental in assisting the person with schizophrenia to get the necessary and proper treatment. Also, make sure they take their medications regularly.
In regards to strange statements, the National Institute of Mental Health says it may be helpful to acknowledge the statement, and let them know that your experience is different. It is not helpful to tell them that they are wrong. Nor is it helpful to go along with their delusion. It is important to be respectful and supportive, without tolerating inappropriate or dangerous behaviors.

Player of the Game
Michael Bourn knocked in the Indians second and final run in the third inning with a sacrifice fly, then later singled and stole second, giving the Indians their final opportunity to score in the game. With little going offensively and nothing good happening at all defensively, there was little positive to mention from this loss.
Feathers Up
Justin Masterson will throw a bullpen session on Friday after throwing long toss today with no pain. If all goes well there, it is possible he could pitch one start during the regular season in preparation for the possible post-season. Assuming they earn a Wild Card spot, Ubaldo Jimenez would still be the most likely pitcher in the one game play-off.
Feathers Down
No pitcher can be perfect from the start of his career to the end, so it shouldn't be too surprising that Danny Salazar had his worst game of his young career tonight. He allowed his second most hits ever (six) and struck out just three after striking out 17 in his last two games. In addition to the hits, he threw two wild pitches, one of which lead to a run. It still wasn't that bad of a game for the rookie as he pitched through the sixth inning for just the fourth time this year.
Yan Gomes certainly didn't help out his pitcher tonight as he had his worst game defensively of the year. In addition to the wild pitches he let go by, Gomes allowed a double steal of second and home that allowed the fourth Royals run. While his throw to second was good and would have caught the runner, he was unable to tag out Alcides Escobar when he came home. A lapse in concentration allowed Escobar to duck under the tag and score despite the fact that he should have been out by a considerable distance.
The rest of the defense wasn't much better than Gomes, either. Asdrubal Cabrera spiked a throw into the ground in front of Gomes that turned an outfield assist into a run, Mike Aviles and Jason Kipnis each missed plays in the seventh and Ryan Raburn dropped a routine fly in the eighth. Overall it was one of the sloppier games of the season defensively and the Indians were lucky that the Royals didn't take more advantage from that than they did.
The Indians had a great scoring opportunity in the sixth when Michael Bourn and Nick Swisher each reached base to start the inning. Jason Kipnis did his job as the best hitter on the team and bunted them over, only for Carlos Santana to easily ground out on the first pitch he saw and Ryan Raburn to fly out to end the inning.
Scoreboard Watch: The Yankees refused to die quietly tonight, beating the Blue Jays to maintain their position in the race. The Royals also managed to stick around a little while longer with their series win over the Indians.
Final Score: Cleveland Indians 2 – Kansas City Royals 7

The credit manager for a local department store discoveers that 88% of all the store's credit card holders who defaulted on their payments were late (by a week or more) with two or more of their monthly payments before failing to pay entirely (defaulting). This prompts the manager to suggest that future credit be denied to any customer who is late with two monthly payments. Further study shows that 3% of all credit customers default on their payments and 40% of those who have not defaulted have had at least two late monthly payments in the past.
a) What is the probabilty that a customer who has two or more late payments will default?
b) Under the credit manager's policy, in a group of 100 customers who have their future credit denied, how many would we expect not to default on their payments?
c) Does the credit manager's policy seem reasonable? Explain your response.

Moving a very large magnet to measure very small particles.
By making a very precise measurement of the muon g-2 value and comparing the results to its predicted value, researchers at Fermilab hope to uncover evidence of new, undiscovered particles and forces. This continues work done at Brookhaven National Laboratory a decade ago. To do so, Fermilab needs their 50-ft ring magnet and its fragile, precisely assembled superconducting coils. After six months of planning, the magnet was slowly hauled on an eight-axle trailer through the streets of Long Island, loaded onto a barge, and tugged down the Atlantic coast and into the Gulf of Mexico, where it will go up the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway to the Mississippi and then through Illinois waterways before it's trucked again through suburban Chicago. Fermilab has a photo and video gallery and is posting updates. [more inside]

School elections might be over before Carl P. Paladino and attorney Daniel J. Chiacchia get an answer to their appeals to remove School Board members in Buffalo and Hamburg.
State education commissioners have been very reluctant to remove duly elected school board members, and John B. King Jr. is no exception.
"Under state law currently, there's a very high bar for removal of a board member. There also is a very high bar for intervening with a decision that has been made by a school district," King told The Buffalo News Editorial Board.
But it's not so rare for the commissioner to receive petitions asking for the ouster of a board member. Currently, King is considering appeals to remove the Buffalo School Board president and two Hamburg Central School Board members.
"Hamburg's not alone," King said, adding that the problems in the Hamburg School District are on his radar screen. "The Hamburg situation may be unique, but there are other districts around the state where we have deep concerns about governance."
In Buffalo, board member Paladino has filed two petitions with the education commissioner to remove board President Barbara Seals Nevergold. One alleges that she neglected her duties.
Since September, Paladino has criticized Nevergold's leadership and accused her of supporting "improper and illegal" activities by School Superintendent Pamela Brown, supervising a faulty superintendent evaluation process, "sanctioning" improper district hiring practices and stifling open board discussion and debate. Nevergold responded to Paladino in late September, saying that many of his assertions "are based on your opinion, supposition, hearsay, and distorted and/or manipulated facts."
A second petition calling for her removal contends that Nevergold is improperly holding her position because she was appointed to fill a midterm vacancy and was never elected at the next board election. Nevergold was appointed by the board in January to fill the remainder of Christopher L. Jacobs' term following his election as Erie County Clerk. Jacobs' seat was to be up for re-election in May of next year, and Nevergold said she believed she would not be required to run for election until then.
But Paladino cites a board policy requiring a board appointee to "hold his/her office until the next annual election of board members," and he contends that Nevergold should have been required to run for election this May in order to keep her seat. Nevergold has called Paladino's efforts to oust her "intimidation and harassment."
In Hamburg, parent and attorney Chiacchia filed a petition with King to remove board Vice President Sally A. Stephenson, and her daughter, Holly A. Balaya, from the board.
He contends that they had a conflict of interest they did not disclose before voting on seeking a new attorney for the school district and on providing legal representation for the former board president and superintendent in a complaint filed against them. Both deny any conflict exists.
Balaya's seat is up for election in May, while Stephenson's term will end in June 2015. The issue for Balaya and Nevergold may be moot before the commissioner issues a decision.
Chiacchia is a leader of a parents group circulating petitions calling for an outside, independent investigation of recent board actions as well as the resignations of Stephenson, Balaya and board member Catherine Schrauth Forcucci. The parents group, Hamburg Education Information, said it submitted petitions with more than 1,200 signatures to King this week.
While the commissioner, according to a spokesman, considers removal "a drastic remedy that should be taken only in extreme circumstances," the state did take over the 2,800-student Roosevelt School District in Nassau County in 2002 because of poor student performance and financial problems.
The superintendent and School Board were removed and replaced by board members and a superintendent selected by the state Board of Regents. Gradually, elected board members were phased back into office.
Education commissioners have removed at least six other board members in the last 21 years, including four in Western New York.
Victor J. Turchiarelli's seat on the Buffalo School Board was declared vacant in 1992 by then-Commissioner Thomas E. Sobol after Turchiarelli failed to attend board meetings for more than a year because of a back injury.
Sobol also removed Lackawanna School Board member Edward V. Sabuda in 1995 because he knocked another board member to the floor during a public meeting.
Then-Commissioner Richard P. Mills removed Bonnie R. Gifford and Robert J. Weller from the Lewiston-Porter School Board in 2008. The board had appointed them to fill the seats held by Edward M. Lilly and Scott A. Stepien. Lilly and Stepien were removed by the board for failing to complete required financial training, but Mills reinstated them after deciding the efforts to oust them were premature.
Education commissioners have upheld some local boards that have thrown off board members charged with misconduct, including the Lackawanna School Board when it removed Mark L. Balen from the board in 1999 and the Jamestown School District, which removed Deann Nelson in 2006. Also locally, the Iroquois Central School Board removed Michael J. McCormick III in 1994 for misconduct.
Appealing to the education commissioner is not usually a speedy process. The commissioner's legal staff will not review the petition until those charged have filed answers, the petitioner files a reply, and other briefs have been filed, according to the state Education Department. That process usually takes about eight weeks after the original petition is filed, unless the parties receive extensions.
Once the file is complete, the commissioner's Office of Counsel tries to issue a decision within six to eight months, or eight to 10 months after the petition was filed, according to its website. But with hundreds of petitions to the commissioner filed every year for a wide variety of actions, there is no guarantee of a specific time frame, it said.

Perfect for Work
By Topchef
from NY
I purchased this in purple to use as a briefcase/purse. It is roomy enough for my paperwork and normal purse items (wallet, phone, etc.). The leather is soft and the purple is dark enough to be considered a neutral - a nice change from basic black. I also got it on sale - bonus! This is my first Levenger purchase, but I'm sure not the last.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This is the perfect work bag. I've searchef for years for something that I could take to work and comfortably hold both personal items and any work papers that I needed. I usually just ended up just carrying two bags: a purse and a brief case. But this bag is big enough to take home the occassional work and small enough to take when I go to lunch. Sometimes the front closure is a little awkward to work, but that's a very minor inconvenience.Of course, it's very well made, but it's also the perfect size and shape for work and personal use.

The Tribune Chronicle's Dec. 5 editorial, "Ohio can't afford big Medicaid," asserted that Ohio's "success of holding down increases in Medicaid spending may tempt some state officials to go along with the major expansion" and went on to predict expansion would prove unaffordable. But this stance ignores the reality that the costs of providing health care for Ohio's 1.5 million uninsured citizens already are being borne by Ohio's hospitals, employers and 10 million other residents. Moreover, foregoing the enhancement option altogether would dismisses a unique opportunity to streamline Medicaid eligibility, promote long-term stability of the state's finances, and create more rational incentives in the health care delivery system.
The U.S. Supreme Court's decision on the Affordable Care Act (ACA) made it optional for states to expand Medicaid coverage for adults with income up to 138 percent of the federal poverty guidelines. According to the Health Policy Institute of Ohio's Medicaid Atlas, more than 20 percent of adults in Trumbull County - and more than 47 percent of children - live at or below 138 percent of the federal poverty level. Many of the families in Trumbull County who aren't offered health coverage through their employer and who can't afford a private plan finally would have access to coverage if Ohio pursues the Medicaid option.
From 2014 through 2016, any expansion of Medicaid in Ohio would be covered entirely by federal funds, meaning newly eligible Ohioans under an expansion would not require additional state dollars to be insured by the program. Of course, taxpayers in states that choose not to extend Medicaid to more of their citizens will be paying for those in states that do so. Expansion funds also provide a chance to strengthen our state's health care safety net while recognizing that any expansion should be repealed if the federal government fails to honor its financial promises.
Ohio also has a chance to build a more flexible Medicaid program, with greater opportunities for personal responsibility, less cost shifting onto privately insured families and employers, and less financial risk for the state. By law and by mission, Ohio hospitals are required to provide medically necessary care, to all sick or injured people, including uninsured individuals with incomes at or below the federal poverty line. When uninsured patients can't pay for their care, hospitals must make up the losses. Hospital uncompensated care levels are at all-time highs. In the last five years, Ohio hospitals' uncompensated care costs have increased by over 50 percent. Even though Medicaid only covers part of the cost of providing care - 83 cents on the dollar - covering more uninsured Ohioans through Medicaid would provide some degree of counterbalance to the spiraling shift of costs to families, employers and hospitals.
Hospitals recognize that enhancing and streamlining the Medicaid program will present certain challenges. Simply dismissing this opportunity might be penny wise but certainly pound foolish, as it ignores the challenges faced by families without health insurance and the resulting unsustainable impact on Ohio's economy and health care delivery system. As the front line of health care, the Ohio Hospital Association, on behalf of Ohio's hospitals, encourages policymakers to take advantage of this chance to help secure a better health care system for Ohio.

All these threads about music we never want to hear again but what do you actually want people to skate to then???
All these threads about music we never want to hear again but what do you actually want people to skate to then???
my dream programs:
SP/SD: Lindsey Stirling's Zelda medley (would have to be edited): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3KUyPKbR7Q
LP/FD: Passacaille d'Armide by Jean-Baptiste Lully: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzCXBI57Kyo
Someone should skate to music from "The King's Speech" - lovely soundtrack!
I wouldn't mind someone skating to some of the instrumental music from "Brave." One of the juvenile (or intermediate pairs) @ US Nationals did. I'm a sucker for Celtic music!
Rush is also magnificent (Hans Zimmer wins again!). I've been dying to see a guy do "Top Gun". (Max?) Apollo 13 is also a mega soundtrack and could actually cut very well into a "story" style program. And in spite of the fact that "Let It Go" is probably going to be the most overused song of the next season, Frozen is actually chock-full of gorgeous music.
Several people, including me, put a bunch of "should skate to this" programs on the "music I'm sick of" thread. When I get a chance, I'll mention some of them here. Always a fun topic to contemplate. The choreographers should consult us! We get some pretty good ideas.
I would love to see someone skating on The shawshank redemption soundtrack https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYGald0tFro
Orchestra versions of any Zelda Game Soundtrack would make me so happy. I would love a girl skate to Skyward Sword as Zelda. Didn't Kevin Reynolds skate to some game soundtrack? (I mean aside from Mario Soundtracks, they are cute but there are really great pieces of music to be found in video game music)
Lord of the Rings would also be great. But also newer stuff like the Game of Thrones OST or the theme of Pacific Rim by Ramin Djawadi. A powerful skater could make this an awesome program. With kicks and the like.
Regarding the skaters: I believe that most people have a deeper connection to lyrics in their native language. And it never hurts any performance to feel connected to the music.
I would be ecstatic if someone skated to the march (Allegretto part) from the seventh symphony -- this would be epic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lp4444gU8D4
It has a similar structure of building up to the final peak as Ravel's bolero or Nyman's Memorial.
Really, if someone wants lots of darkness and drama, Shostakovich is the composer to use. His music is quirky, modern, intense, out of the box, and has a good rhythm for dancing.
Another one of my favorites is his Hamlet suite. It can't get any darker than this piece.
Ok, I am going to stop my Shostakovich rant as it is the wrong thread for that.
It's not a piece one would immediately associate with FS. But yes, if you can do a free dance to Carmina Burana then definitely this symphony is a treasure trove for a couple/skater who aren't afraid to explore the dark side.
I would absolutely die if a skater used music from Hayao Miyazaki films, composed by Joe Hisaishi. The score from the movie The Wind Rises is really hard to find on YouTube, but has three running themes along with other pieces of music ("Journey", "Caproni", and "Naoko") that are absolutely gorgeous. Here's one of the "Naoko" pieces:
Also, this song from Spirited Away could be a gorgeous program
I would love love love to see an ice dance couple skate to the theme from The Princess Bride. And I will continue to push for Hotel California and Jimi Hendrix until some poor skater feels sorry for me and uses either in a competitive program. We all have dreams.

StarCaps Litigation May Finally Be Over
On February 18, 2011 By Charles Michels February 22, 2011
In 2008, two Minnesota Vikings defensive linemen (Kevin and Pat Williams) received four game suspensions for violating the NFL's drug policy. The players tested positive for Bumetanide, a substance that can help to mask steroids. Both players attributed the positive test to the weight loss supplement StarCaps. The players appealed and the appeals were [...]Continue Reading →

When Rig Maids started in February, it began as a business to help the gas industry. With the recent flooding, the company expanded also to help area flood victims.
"We're a janitorial cleaning service for the gas industry," owner David Pfleegor said. "We go on location to trailers."
The business is not limited to just on-site location, however. Pfleegor said his cleaning crew also will go to industry workers' local apartments, man camps, houses and offices.

From left, Alicia Hall, Destiny Molino, Missy Palmer and Ashley Wertz stand next to a RigMaids truck.
"We're definitely not limited to anything," he said.
The cleaning staff receives the necessary safety training needed to be on-site.
With the recent flooding in the area, Pfleegor donated cleaning supplies to victims. He also is offering ongoing special rates for people affected by the flooding. Pfleegor used to live on Loyalsock Creek, which is why he wanted to offer a special rate to help. Already the company has helped victims rip up carpet, in addition to other normal cleaning routines.

"If they're a flood victim, it's a discount," he said. "It's no promotion. It could take months to get back to normal. They have to wait for an estimate. It'll take a while."
Pfleegor did not imagine the need to help flood victims when he began.
"(The gas industry) is why the company was created," he said. "We're trying to help beyond that. These people are limited in their resources."
The biggest surprise for Pfleegor is the rapid growth for the business. He started with one van and now is up to four.
"I'm surprised how quickly it took off," he said. "We meet a lot of different people from different parts of the country."
The idea for a cleaning business for the gas industry came to Pfleegor last October.
"I was looking for a good way to break into the gas industry," he said. "I wanted to figure out what they needed. ... The guys work pretty hard. The last thing they need is to come back to messy living quarters."
Ten employees work at Rig Maids. An average cleaning shift takes two people 90 minutes to clean.
"The girls do a great job of cleaning top to bottom," Pfleegor said. "It's full-stop cleaning. There's not much it doesn't include. We clean fridges, bed sheets, laundry, walls, stove and bathroom light fixtures. With all of the soot and mud, we shampoo carpets and power wash, too."
The number of visits depend on the person's preference. Pfleegor said most visits either are weekly or biweekly, but sometimes, emergency calls are received.
"When there's a spot visit from a company, we can come right away," he said.
If an industry worker calls ahead, maids can bring dishes, a vacuum cleaner, sheets, cards or anything else they could want, Pfleegor said, since the workers cannot leave the site to get it themselves.

Featured Golf News
Byron Nelson by John Companiotte
At first I was not real excited about reading this book as it seemed to be just a whole lot of information about rounds of golf, scores, club used, etc., by one of golfs greatest players. I find such accounts boring. I much rather prefer knowing more about the main character and what goes on after a round of golf.
However, fearing loss of my huge salary from Cybergolf, I read the book. I was pleasantly surprised at the authors ability to spin in lots of facts and side stories that made each tournament interesting. Thats not easy to do.
In his section on the now-defunct Seattle Open, Companiotte goes into considerable detail about the underrated golf course architect, Vernon Macan. A former Scot who moved to Canada at the turn of the last century, Macan designed many of Pacific Northwests great old courses. Since Ive played many of them, it was illuminating to get more history about Macan.
Another Seattle angle is a discussion about Harry Givan, whos mentioned in the Seattle Open section. A lifetime amateur, Givan was a local legend who, after downing three martinis for lunch, would routinely go out and shoot a 67. Tacomas Chuck Congdon is also cited. Congdon became one of the best pros in the Northwest at Tacoma Country & Golf Club, one of the nations oldest clubs that has hosted many USGA tournaments.
Throughout the book are many interesting tidbits from other parts of the country, including facts and stories about your area. Such detail makes it clear that Companiotte did a lot of research.
Yes, its also a great story about Byron Nelson. But in injecting such local lore, you will learn a lot of history about golf and the many people who crossed Nelsons path. That to me is what makes this an interesting read. Personally, Id be happy winning just one tournament.
Byron Nelson by John Companiotte, Triumph Books, 2006, $24.95, 256 pages, ISBN 10-1-57243-813-4
Dr. John Wagner has been a Seattle dentist for 37 years. Hes been published in several dental journals as well as had several articles appear in the turf magazine for Pacific Northwest golf course superintendents. John has served as a guest lecturer at the University of Washington Business School for several years and as a guest lecturer for several dental societies. Dr. Wagner is the co-designer (with Steve Shea of the Berger Partnership) of a golf course in Japan that cost over $120 million and was built by Wadsworth Golf Construction. Hes a Past President of the Washington State Golf Association and a Trustee of the Pacific Coast Golf Association. John is currently a Member of the USGA Green Section and a Director of the WSGA.
