Stupid NHL point-system.
Don't Look Now!

Vancover is a much stronger team in net and has more talent up front then Hawks, as of now they are the only top seed that would worry me in the playoffs
Goalie issues aside, I still think Chicago is the best of those seven, so I'd prefer not to play them first. I also like the thought of being in fifth if only to avoid having to go through 1-2-3 (in theory) to get to the finals. Heck, if they're five and win in the first, they could end up with home ice in the second.
Posted 25 March 2010 - 09:22 AM
And to be completely honest if I were to rank the teams I dont want to face in the playoffs (west) this year, it be...
1. Anaheim (Not even kidding)
2. Vancouver
3. Chicago
4. San Jose.
My list would be:
1. Chicago
2. Vancouver
I think those are the two teams we would have a lot of trouble with in the first round. I think we would have an easier time with the other 5 teams... not easy, but less threatening
Posted 25 March 2010 - 09:36 AM
It's highly unlikely that they're going to get in the top 4, so I think the only goal would be to get in, to me, getting higher than 8th doesn't really help that much, I know, every little bit counts and could give you home ice in later rounds, but barring upsets (which often do happen though), that's not going to happen.

This past weekend, Luke and I took some brush out to the property. While there, he wanted to do a little mushroom hunting. Conditions were extremely dry and we didn't find any at all. We were basically three days early, given the text photos and emails received from others I know. As normal, they shared photos, but not mushrooms. However, I have been finding mushroom hunting more and more difficult each year. Not because they have been scarce, but because I have a hard time not focusing on deer sign at all times when in the woods.
The other day was no different. Deer sign was everywhere and I stumbled upon one of the largest natural buck beds I have yet to find on the property. The photos below illustrate the buck bed, which has most of the characteristics typically found. The bed was on somewhat flat ground, had two entry / exit points, good screening cover or canopy overhead. In addition the bed is located right next to two main trails that are heavily traveled.
What was completely out of character for the bed found was the location in conjunction with the topography. This bed wasn't located atop a point or on the military crest of a point. It was just the opposite, being located at the base of a point. This obviously has peaked my interest as to why the buck chose this particular spot. Although there are exits and means of escape in just about every direction, it would be possible to approach this buck from the SE along the ridge. However, this buck must consider this area secure, otherwise it would not look as worn and used as depicted in the photos.
The size of the bed indicates to me that this is a large buck, most likely older than 2 years old. Normally the beds I have found are not as wide from side to side. In addition, I found the depth of this bed from front to back to be abnormally large. The leaves were smashed down significantly and there was extensive deer hair all around that had obviously been shed by the buck. Furthermore, the buck had droppings in two spots along the east edge of the bed. It appears that he was dropping before entering or upon exiting the bed. The old saying of "don't crap in your own nest" was being practiced by this buck.
So, what do I do with this information? Well, I've considered placing a camera over the bed, somewhat at a distance to prevent spooking the buck. Hopefully this will help me understand this buck better and give me the information needed going into the fall season. I am also hoping this is a resident buck that will be in this bed year around.
It also has occurred to me that some of the beds I have personally made may not be large enough to accommodate a larger buck. As a result, my next steps are to build an addition onto the existing buck beds. They must need a king size instead of a queen size bed. If the bucks on my property like beds like the one in the pictures below, then I need to provide what they prefer. I will try to post additional photos of the bed improvements made in the near future.
The deer sign continues to pile up on the property making me even more confident that the work we are doing is paying off. The next seven months should prove to be extremely interesting as we track the herd's progress and hopefully another buck harvest.

Everyone says that spring term is amazing at Union. I am not sure of what to expect but I have a great feeling about it. Yesterday was good weather, students went outside to hang out, to get work done, and to play various sports. That is just a hint of what my college life is going to look like during the spring.

Ganguly Case: Cabinet to consider Prez Ref
By Kanu Sarda | ENS - NEW DELHI
Published: 01st January 2014 08:54 AM
Last Updated: 01st January 2014 08:54 AM
The Cabinet is likely to consider the Presidential Reference against former Supreme Court judge A K Ganguly for his removal from the post of the chairperson of the West Bengal Human Rights Commission, on Thursday.
As per government sources, the Cabinet note is ready and is expected to be taken up on Thursday. According to the procedure, once the cabinet approves the proposal, a formal advice will be sent to President Pranab Mukherjee to remove Ganguly.
The Cabinet note is backed by the legal opinion received by Attorney General G E Vahanavati favouring action against Ganguly.
After the note is cleared, the President will make a reference to Chief Justice of India P Sathasivam. The CJI will then investigate the case and recommend as per the procedures set out in the Protection of Human Rights Act. However, amidst all these controversies, Justice Ganguly has refused to resign despite demands from the political class, lawyers' bodies and social organisations. The Home Ministry has moved a Cabinet note to make a Presidential Reference to the Supreme Court in the Justice A K Ganguly sexual misconduct case, setting into motion the process to remove him from the post.
The action against Justice Ganguly was followed by a letter from West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who had demanded action against Ganguly in the backdrop of allegations of sexual misconduct against him, as well as for him going on foreign trips and taking arbitration assignments without approval.
The allegation of a lawyer that Ganguly sexually harassed her while she interned with him last year had already been assessed by a panel of SC judges that found merit in the complaint but did not take any action.
Justice Ganguly had in his 8-page long letter to the CJI said: "First of all, I wish to make it clear that I never harassed nor did I make any unwelcome advances to any female intern. "

Help! My Boss is Passive Aggressive & Killing My MotivationJuly 17th, 2012
"How did he get to be a manager?!"
This is the thought that passes through your mind at least once a day after dealing with your passive aggressive boss. He doesn't seem to work well with anyone; has a knack for putting employees down in subtle, yet nasty ways; and certainly doesn't command respect. The problem, of course, is that he's still your boss…and can have a big impact on your job and your career.
As one of the top Lynchburg employment agencies, Adams & Garth knows that having a passive aggressive boss can kill your motivation and your effectiveness at work. So what are the signs that your boss is, in fact, passive aggressive – and how can you deal?
The Signs
Some examples of passive aggressive behavior include:
- Your boss regularly calls you into hour-long meetings two minutes before you're supposed to leave.
- You send emails to your boss that always get ignored; then your boss yells at you for being uncommunicative.
- Your boss is always expressing envy or resentment towards others he perceives as more fortunate.
- The team has distinct divisions – the haves (i.e. the favorites) and the have-nots.
- Your boss complains about the performance of certain employees…but never to the employee in question, always to others.
- Your boss restricts access to the information or resources you need to do your job.
- You have no idea where you stand with your boss and often wonder if you'll have a job the next day.
How to Deal
- Before pointing the finger of blame, make sure you're not doing something to trigger certain behaviors by your boss. To do so, ask a co-worker you trust about the boss, your own behavior, and what his or her thoughts are.
- Regardless of how unprofessional your boss gets, stay above the fray. Always be respectful and if you can't, then remove yourself from the situation until you've cooled down. That said, don't let your boss walk all over you. You need to defend yourself if things go too far.
- Don't take the behavior personally. Passive aggressiveness is likely a part of your boss's nature; not something you're causing. So really, you should have pity on your boss, rather than taking it personally.
- Force your boss to set expectations. If you feel like you never know where you stand or what expectations you need to meet, have a meeting with your boss to get clarifications. Have specific questions ready to go and then send a follow-up email to reiterate what was discussed (so it's in writing).
- Get another job. If you've done all you can and still can't stay productive and motivated due to your passive aggressive boss, then it may be time to starting searching for new jobs in Lynchburg.

Gov. Terry Branstad has appointed former U.S. Rep. Leonard Boswell to the Iowa Department of Transportation Commission.
Branstad announced the appointment Wednesday. Boswell, a Democrat, will take over a seat vacated by former Democratic state Sen. Tom Rielly, who resigned due to a professional conflict of interest.
The Iowa Senate must confirm the appointment, which would place Boswell on the board through April 30, 2017.
Branstad said in a news release that Boswell will be an "asset to the commission." Boswell served in congress from 1997 through 2013. Before that he served in the Iowa Senate.
The seven-member Transportation Commission oversees the Department of Transportation. The members are unpaid.

A Christian nurse from England is going back to work after a six-week suspension.
Her case has highlighted what some say is a pattern of discrimination against Christians in the workplace.
Caroline Petrie, a Home Care Nurse, says prayer is an important part of the care she gives her patients.
"I believe it's part of their whole care. I believe that health has three areas, physical mental and spiritual," she said.
Many patients welcome her prayers and some have even improved.
"Lots of patients have felt peaceful, comforted, they become relaxed, their faces become cheerful, almost glowing sometimes," Petrie added.
But this Baptist mother of two found herself in the center of a storm after she offered to pray with a patient last December.
The patient, an elderly woman, politely refused the prayer and Petrie says she didn't force the issue.
However, her employer, The North Somerset Primary Trust, suspended Petrie to investigate the matter.
Petrie said she was shocked by her employer's reaction.
"Very taken back, very taken back. I understand that the PTC have their patients interests at heart and they do look, importantly to the well-being of all patients, but of course it is, to me it is quite bizzare," she said.
Her employer says it's the second time there's been a complaint about Petrie.
They view her offers of prayer as a violation of workplace equality and diversity rules.
A spokesman for the Christian Legal Centre, which is advising Petrie, says those rules are used to silence Christians.
Mike Judge of the Christian Institute agrees.
"The policies of tolerance and diversity that we find in workplaces we believe are just a coverup for censorship and oppression. And it's people like Caroline, who love their job, who can't leave their faith at the door, just end up in the firing line," he said.
"I am not so sure that this case would have arisen if the nurse had been a Muslim," he added. "In Britain we are seeing Christians being treated with a different standard to other religious groups."
Announcing Petrie's reinstatement, The Trust said they understand how Petrie felt.
"We recognize that Caroline felt that she was acting in the best interests of her patients, but for nurses whose principal role is giving nursing care, the initiative lies with the patient and not with the nurse."
Petrie says the experience won't keep her from praying with those who want it.
"I can't divorce my faith from my nursing profession. Everything, those two, go hand in hand, it's part of who I am. I can't be somebody else," she said.

First Australian FEMALE boxing short film! :)
Hey Guys,
I am a Honours film student in Brisbane, Australia who has just finished producing a neo-noir female boxing film...
I wanted to share it with as many boxing enthusiasts as possible all over the world.. (hope that's ok with you guys!)
Jenny was a boxer. A damn good one. Then she met Kevin; handsome, charming and persuasive, he convinced her to give it all up to become the Good Woman he always wanted. Torn apart by revelations of his cheating ways, she is taken on a journey of deceit, revenge and redemption by her femme fatale friend, Jade.
You see, Jade's got a plan. A damn good one. It involves Kevin's mysterious lover, a boxing match, and an age-old boxing law...
Jade will push Jenny to the edge of all that she thinks is right and wrong- all that is good, and all that is very, very bad.
Gambit- an Australian-first film experience. Femme fatales battle it out in the boxing ring. They fight for love, revenge and re-birth. Join us as we make Aussie film history- a neo-noir action spectacle filled with thrills, chills and don't forget those blood spills! You won't want to miss this sexy, rock 'em, sock 'em thriller!
I would really appreciate all the support I can get as I try make Aussie history... I have a facebook group Gambit- Shortfilm ... if you like the sound of this short film then please join the group to get updates and sneak previews..
I also have a crowd funding website up to try and raise funds for the film..
EVERLAST is an official sponsor for the film and the provided all the boxing apparel so the film looks authentic and just mind-blowingly incredible!
I would love to put pictures on the forum for you all to see !
Anyway, thanks guys for reading this
Hope to make a name with this unique film!

Good luck, but I have no interest watching two women beat the hell out of each other.
That's just something not many people want to watch.

I would rather not post the reason on this board but if you rather know in advance then I have contacted your friend Sharon and she will be able to let you know the reason for the contact.
Many thanks and hope to hear from you soon...

ps: Panorama is a SNITCH show. The only thing they do is snitch on people, if you or your friend are in this program you might have bigger worries than being a 10 minute celebrity.
ask Panorama if they will pay for your hospital bills.

Former Ocala city manager Paul Nugent, 56, died Tuesday after being pulled out of the ocean in New Smyrna Beach.
Nugent was with friends surfing around the Crawford Approach around 7 p.m. when his friends said he complained about not feeling well and fell off his board.
They rushed Nugent to shore, struggling to perform CPR in the water.
Rescuers took over the CPR and Nugent was rushed to the hospital but did not survive.
It appears he suffered some kind of medical issue in the water, officials said.
Nugent was city manager from January 2004 to July 2008, said City of Ocala Spokeswoman Jeanine Robbins. Prior to becoming city manager, Nugent worked as a city employee for Ocala, Robbins said.

Starbucks, tanning salon coming to Summit
Starbucks customers soon will have another location to get their coffee -- or latte -- fix.
And if they're inclined, they'll be able to get a tan before or after their caffeine fix.
Construction is underway on a three-unit building, just south of TGI Friday's restaurant and north of a strip plaza, on Peach Street in Summit Township.
Nearly half of the new building will be occupied by Starbucks, which will use 1,900 square feet and offer a drive-through window, said Jack Munch, director of leasing and development for Baldwin Brothers, Inc.
Starbucks will be on the building's north end, and the 1,200-square-foot center storefront will be occupied by Zoom Tan, a tanning salon new to the Erie market, Munch said.
See Wednesday's Erie Times-News and GoErie.com for more coverage.

Technology-Enhanced Learning:
by Pat Manson
Supporting Learning in the 21st Century
Technology-enhanced learning may not flow readily off the tongue or be easily translated as a brand name, but it very consciously reflects what it is: using ICT to secure advancements in learning. By taking advancements as the objective, we go beyond the attempt to reproduce classical ways of teaching via technologies. Technology-enhanced learning combines but places equal emphasis on all three elements - on technologies, on learning and on enhancements or improvements in learning. This will help us in devising ICT-based solutions which motivate and inspire learners and teachers, engaging them in meaningful learning and teaching experiences.
Introduction to the Special Theme
- Details
- Category: Special Theme
by Peter Scott and Christine Vanoirbeek
Initially known as 'computer-assisted learning' and later e-learning, the study of improving learning processes by the use of technology has evolved into the research domain known as 'Technology-Enhanced Learning'. Its objective is to encourage the emergence of new learning models that are sustained by the context-aware use of technology and anchored in the practices of users.


text: Gentlemen, I have rambled and researched and poked and prodded the internet and after finally frustrating, confounding and thoroughly irritating the balance of my non-African hunting local brethren I am left with the following African selection to fill: 30.06 - launches a 200 gr. bullet @ 2,600 fps and delivers 3,000 ft/lbs .375 H&H - sends a 300 gr. bullet @ 2650 fps and yields about 4,000 ft/lbs .416 Rigby - delivers a 400 gr bullet @2500 fps for 5,000 ft/lbs and, I would stop right here, the 416 yielding energy on par with the .470 N.E. thus making it arithmetically sufficient at the upper end of the scale, but at times "in a pinch": .450 Rigby - pushing 500 gr @ 2400 fps and posting in excess of 6,000 ft/lbs So, to my question(s) is this a 3 gun battery, thereby discarding the 450? The 375 is a no-brainer for me with the nod going to the new Winchester Mod. 70, however, the 416 poses the question of Ruger vs. CZ , thoughts and experiences with either? I am even left to wonder whether the .o6 is as useful as it might appear at first, perhaps the .375 could carry more of the load than I might first imagine, thoughts? The next thought that occurs is this, should I again lighten the load further and just make the 375 carry all of the water. How under or over gunned would that actually make me in any given situation? Ballisticaly, all of these rounds look to be effective out to 250 yds. Is that going to adequate in most situations encountered on the Dark Continent? In summation let me add that I am firm believer that accurate shooting is not an art or a skill but rather a craft and one that must be used constantly to be maintained, thus, any weapon selected would be one that I shot on a 2 -3 X per week basis in the few months prior to a safari. In actuality, the real method to my madness is quite simple, I want to select the most succinct and streamlined battery, develop and maintain proficiency so that when the opportunity arises for a trip I am not out trying to locate the "right" gun, and then have to quickly develop familiarity and proficiency with it . If they are in the rack, shot at least weekly both they, and I, are ready to go. Much like having your bags already packed, it is just one more thing that you don't have to worry with. Thanks

Just wanted to throw something out there to you folks on a slow-as-usual Tuesday: According to the NFLPA, the Giants and Texans have the least amount of salary-cap room coming down the home stretch.
What does that mean? Not a whole lot. There are many ways to create cap space, such as guaranteeing a portion of a player's salary and/or roster bonus. That allows you to spread that money out over the remaining years of the player's deal. So if the Giants needed space to sign a player, as they probably will for RB Derrick Ward, they could simply shuffle their paperwork a bit to make it happen.
Speaking of Ward and players on injured reserve, the Giants have ten guys on IR with Ward likely to become No. 11. I'm guessing all those salaries and those of the players needed to replace them are part of the reason the Giants are up against the cap. The Texans have 14 guys on IR. The two teams the NFLPA noted as having the most cap room are the Chiefs, who have four guys on IR, and the Bucs, who have 12 but didn't have a high payroll to start with.
And to answer your next question, what does the Giants' minimal space mean with regard to free agency next year? Nothing. I have no idea what their cap will look like, but just because they have no room now doesn't mean they won't once the season is over.
Again, not a huge deal here, but I do get a lot of e-mails and comments about how much cap room the Giants have, so I wanted to keep you all posted. And do yourself a favor and read the last paragraph of that NFLPA story. You'll see there that calculating a team's cap room is impossible because there are so many exemptions, credits, guarantees, etc., that take place behind the scenes and are never made public. Without that information, you have no idea how much room a team has. Simply calculating it by looking at base salaries and bonuses is not an accurate way of figuring this stuff out.
Now, get back to your Eagles film cut-ups and finish that game plan.
1:54 p.m. UPDATE: Totally forgot to include this earlier. The NFL announced today that the Giants game against the Redskins on Dec. 16 will remain an 8:15 p.m. start.

We reiterate our positive investment alert on Bayer post announcement of positive top line data of Xarelto in Ph III study ACS indication. As expected (Pl. refer our note released on September 6th, 2011), Xarelto achieved primary endpoint in ATLAS ACS-TIMI 51 study, showing statistically significant reduction in the rates of CV events (reduction in composite endpoint of CV death, MI or stroke) compared to standard of Care in ACS patients population. While on safety front, major bleeding not associated with CABG bleeding is increased. Based on the reported PhII data of Xarelto in ACS, we expect Xarelto to demonstrate net clinical benefit in ACS patients in absolute term in PhIII ATLAS TIMI ACS study. Bayer plans to file for approval by YE 2011, and post Plavix patent expiry we see Xarelto to compete with Brilinta for ACS market.

RELEASE: Addressing Poverty and Homelessness in the United States
Contact: Madeline Meth
Phone: 202.741.6277
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Washington, D.C. — Today, the Center for American Progress released a new report that examines the state of poverty and homelessness in the United States and puts forth a set of policy recommendations for increasing access to affordable housing and addressing income inequality.
"Nearly half of all homeless people in this country work, but cannot afford to pay their rent. We have to address the fact that for many Americans, the cost of living is increasing faster than incomes," said Tracey Ross, Senior Policy Analyst at CAP and author of the report.
While the report's findings about homelessness and the ongoing affordable housing crisis are sobering, the analysis also reveals the positive news that there is a path forward for ending homelessness. A majority of homeless households have lived in independent permanent housing and are capable of being stably housed with limited assistance, but are pushed into homelessness because of economic circumstances. While homelessness occurs for a variety of reasons, poverty and the ongoing affordable housing crisis are significant drivers. Since the end of the Great Recession, the wealthiest households have fully recovered—and even shown income gains—while middle-class and low-income families are still suffering from the lingering effects of the downturn with little to no improvement in their incomes.
Based on this reality, the report recommends:
- Aligning homeless and mainstream services. While targeted homelessness resources are critical to addressing the specific needs of individuals and families experiencing a bout of homelessness, it is important for communities to consider how mainstream resources, such as Medicaid, TANF, SNAP, and other programs, can enhance efforts to combat homelessness.
- Increase access to affordable housing. Rapid rehousing is an effective strategy to ensure that individuals and families experiencing a bout of homelessness brought on by economic factors can recover quickly. It is necessary to ensure that more low-income people have greater access to affordable housing while at the same time ensuring that our housing market supports the preservation and creation of such housing.
- Supporting the financing of affordable housing. Congress must ensure that the new housing finance system provides financing to preserve the existing privately owned, affordable housing stock and support the construction of new affordable units. In addition, any new housing finance system should charge a fee on all mortgage-backed securities that would provide capital for the National Housing Trust Fund and Capital Market Fund, both of which were established by the Housing and Recovery Act of 2008.
- Increasing economic stability and addressing income inequality. Income inequality is in large part to blame for the existence of what researchers sometimes refer to as "modern homelessness." Fortunately, our safety net is helping lift families out of poverty and meet their basic needs. Estimates show that unemployment insurance helped 1.7 million additional people avoid poverty last year, and without Social Security, nearly 15.3 million additional seniors would have lived in poverty.
Today more than ever, we understand what strategies work to prevent homelessness, and communities across the country are doing their part to end homelessness. But we cannot let these efforts be hindered by stagnant wages, higher rents, and the whittling down of our safety net. If we truly believe that no one should experience the uncertainty and pain of not knowing where they will live or how long they will be out of a home, we must continue to invest in preventive measures—such as expanding affordable housing and paying living wages—that will prevent us from paying the higher costs associated with crisis interventions.

Unnamed Annari
this wiki
The following is a list of unnamed Annari.
Annari commanderEdit
The Annari commander led a fleet of ships in an attempt to capture the Nightingale, a Kraylor ship that had cloaking technology. Harry Kim was in command of the vessel after its captain was killed. Surrounded by Annari vessels, Kim hailed the commander and offered to surrender. The commander demanded that the crew be beamed aboard the Annari ship, and the ship would be boarded. Kim informed him that his crew would be allowed to leave in escape pods, or he would destroy the ship, depriving the Annari of the cloaking technology. The commander agreed. When the crew was safe, the Annari used a tractor beam on the ship. Kim reversed the shield polarity and used the momentum to outrun the Annari to the safety of the planet. (VOY: "Nightingale")

Numerous studies comparing store-and-forward (S&F) teledermatology with conventional, face-to-face care have shown several advantages of S&F teledermatology, including improved patient access, comparable diagnostic accuracy, cost-effective care, and remote medical education.1- 3 However, despite these reported benefits of teledermatology in the medical literature, the pace of adoption for S&F teledermatology in the United States has not been as rapid as it might be.
Perception of teledermatology by dermatologists who do not practice it is unknown in the United States. This is an important area of investigation because the findings could help identify areas of opportunity to increase teledermatology adoption in the dermatology community at large.
This study was approved by the institutional review board at the University of California Davis. The Center for Connected Health Policy provided the research team with a list of board-certified dermatologists. Using a multi-pronged approach, we sought to identify all California dermatologists not practicing teledermatology. From September 2010 to March 2011, we randomly surveyed these dermatologists to ask why they did not practice teledermatology.
Of the 120 questionnaires distributed, 26 (21.6%) were returned. The responding dermatologists reported their level of agreement with reasons for not practicing teledermatology by ranking them 1 (disagree strongly) through 6 (agree strongly) (Figure 1).
Figure 1. Reasons for not practicing teledermatology. Bubble indicates median rank; error bars, interquartile range.
The dermatologists cited the following 2 top reasons for not practicing S&F teledermatology: (1) lack of understanding of teledermatology reimbursement (median rank, 6.0; interquartile range [IQR], 5.0-6.0); and (2) significantly increased medical-legal risk that teledermatology might impose on their practice, compared with in-person treatment (median rank, 6.0; IQR, 5.0-6.0). The dermatologists reported moderate agreement with the following reasons for not practicing teledermatology: lack of understanding of setup requirements (median rank, 5.0; IQR, 3.3-6.0) and potentially lower teledermatology reimbursements (median rank, 5.5; IQR, 4.0-6.0). Lack of in-person interaction was the reason least cited by the respondents for not practicing teledermatology.
In addition to inquiring into reasons why dermatologists did not practice teledermatology, we asked the dermatologists to assess incentives for them to practice teledermatology. The level of importance was evaluated on a Likert scale from 1 (very unimportant) through 6 (very important) (Figure 2).
Figure 2. Importance of incentives. Bubble indicates median rank; error bars, interquartile range.
The respondents reported the following 4 factors to be very important incentives for them to practice teledermatology: (1) being trained in reimbursement; (2) receiving reimbursement similar to that received for in-person treatment; (3) being informed about the legal risks involved in teledermatology practices; (4) being assured that the medical-legal risks are not greater for teledermatology than they are for in-person visits.
To our knowledge, this is the first survey to investigate dermatologists' stated reasons for not practicing teledermatology and potential incentives for encouraging future participation. By studying these dermatologists, we identified barriers in California to providing teledermatology services and incentives to galvanize the dermatology workforce to participate in teledermatology. Adoption of new health policies that address the perceived barriers to teledermatology and provide incentives for provider participation will be important for sustainability of teledermatology practices.

Montana Distinguished Schools Recognized for High Achievement
Thursday, March 10, 2011
By Allyson Hagen
Montana Distinguished Schools Recognized for High Achievement
HELENA, MT - Montana's Office of Public Instruction (OPI) will recognize two Montana schools at their annual Title I Conference for their achievements in closing the achievement gap and high academic achievement. Title I funds are used to provide additional academic support and learning opportunities to help economically disadvantaged children master challenging curricula and meet state standards in core academic subjects.
Closing the Achievement Gap: Radley Elementary School, East Helena
Radley is home to 481 students including seven classes of second graders, six classes of third graders and five classes of both fourth and fifth. Approximately 40% of their students come from economically disadvantaged homes. Radley Elementary School was recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence in 2007. Radley's school-wide walk to read program includes 90 minutes of uninterrupted reading instruction at all grade levels as well as up to 75 minutes of math instruction daily. Grade level teams meet with administration, the instructional coach and other specialists bi-monthly to review data, curricular progress and identify student needs. Radley School says their motto, "Success for All," exemplifies their efforts.
High Academic Achievement: Cornelius Hedges Elementary School, Kalispell
Cornelius Hedges Elementary School in Kalispell serves approximately 350 students K-5 in the Flathead Valley. The mission at Hedges School is "Learning For All….No Excuses, No Limits." Cornelius Hedges Elementary School says this award can't be pinned to one area, but rather a combination of factors and focus areas that have helped the Hedges learning community reach exceptional levels of student achievement over time. These areas include a school wide focus on positive school climate, student achievement, reading and reading intervention, professional development and technology integration.
Superintendent of Public Instruction Denise Juneau said, "I am so proud to present these awards to Montana schools that are doing amazing work in setting high expectations for every student. These schools are a great representation of the high-quality schools we have all across our state."
WHAT: Superintendent Juneau will present awards to Cornelius Hedges Elementary School and Radley Elementary School.
WHERE: Red Lion Colonial Inn, Helena, MT
WHEN: Thursday, March 10, 1:00 pm

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: CEOs Are Better Than Congressmen
Lightning RoundIn the Lightning Round, Cramer was bullish on Syngenta (SYT) , Monsanto (MON) and Yelp (YELP) . He was bearish on Cisco (CSCO) , MarkWest Energy (MWE) , Cirrus Logic (CRUS) , Parker Drilling (PDK) Alcoa (AA) and Carrizo Oil and Gas (CRZO) .
What's Up With YUM?
Following a 4% sales decline in China in the fourth quarter, Yum Brands (YUM) was downgraded by two banks. Then, last week, two other banks backed the parent company of Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and KFC.
Cramer said the China comparative sales were up 21% a year ago. He considers the recent slip in China sales a bump in the road. "When it comes to reading China," he said, "I say you give Yum the benefit of the doubt."
"China has new leadership and they will do what it takes to get the economy moving, and moving fast," Cramer said.
"Yum is not the kind of company to sit and wait for the China economy to improve on its own," he said. Yum's strategy is to expand from the tier one cities in China to the outer cities where costs are low and the competition is rare.
"If Yum takes a lesson from Altria (MO) and breaks up, I think the sum of its parts could be worth $77 a share," he said. That's up about 14%. The domestic business is strong enough to stand on its own and the international business is sizzling.
"I think the bulls are right and the bears are letting a short-term Chinese speed bump scare them away from what I regard as a great story," Cramer said.
"The story would be better if Yum breaks itself up into a fast-growing international company and a value-oriented domestic play. That could create instant profits for all aboard," Cramer said.

Members of the William S. Hart Union High School District board voted unanimously to accept $120,000 in scholarship funds from the Henry Mayo Newhall (Family) Foundation during their meeting Wednesday night.
Tony Newhall said the Henry Mayo Newhall (Family) Foundation has donated scholarship funds to the William S. Hart Union High School District since 1980.
"What better way, we thought, is there to provide for the future well-being of the community?" Newhall said. "With these scholarships, we can reward young people in their quest for knowledge whatever they may study or whatever they turn out to be."
The $120,000 will fund 36 scholarships of amounts ranging from $2,000 to $5,000 to graduates of the district's six comprehensive high schools — those that offer a full range of studies, sports and extracurricular activities.
Three additional scholarships, ranging from $500 to $1,500, go to graduates of the district's alternative high schools.
The Santa Clarita Valley Scholarship Foundation will select the scholarship recipients. The names of recipients will be revealed in June.
Elaine Foderaro, the president of the foundation, said the scholarships go to students who demonstrate financial need as well as academic merit.

A prior generation of political theorists called it "slack." It's the difference between citizens' potential influence and the amount of influence they actually exert on their leaders. It's the notion that government needs room to operate and that it functions best when not too many people put too much pressure on it or demand too much.
Based on that concept, Buffalo should have a great school system because – until now – the parents of kids condemned to failing schools have never exerted their influence.
That could change with the petition drive to pressure the district to convert dozens of lousy schools into district charters. Backers say they would be free of union contracts limiting everything from the use of the schools at night to tapping skilled recreation league coaches to run teams.
If they succeed in gathering 5,000 signatures – which should be a slam-dunk, given the involvement of some major churches – they could put a lot of pressure on School Board members, especially with board elections coming up in May.
With the unspoken threat of a lawsuit, a second petition calls for making room in good schools for all the kids who want to transfer out of lousy ones, as the law requires. In other words, disgruntled parents are trying to remove the slack that has let the district slide by.
It's how institutions that work for the few, not the many, have always survived.
"The apathetic segment of America probably has helped to hold the system together and cushioned the shock of disagreement, adjustment,and change," political scientist Bernard Berelson wrote in the 1954 book he co-authored, "Voting," just before the civil rights movement showed what can happen when that slack is removed.
Not surprisingly, school officials are not keen on the charter effort, arguing that new Superintendent Pamela Brown should be given time to improve things.
Brown points to a planning process she's about to launch "to engage the entire community" and says the district can turn around failing schools "without converting all or most of them to charter schools."
Board President Mary Ruth Kapsiak takes a similar tack. While a mass conversion "could happen down the road, if we don't improve," she wants to give the new superintendent a chance.
That sounds reasonable.
But there's just one problem with putting all of the eggs into that approach: If it doesn't work, the next superintendent will come in asking for the same grace period, and so will the one after that, and the one after that.
How much time – and how many kids – will be lost playing that game?
At a parent meeting the other night, organizers played a video in which Gov. Andrew Cuomo noted that every educational group – from teachers and principals to custodians – has a lobbyist except one: students.
Parent apathy has created the slack that lets those other groups get their way while students fail.
The petitions could change that – provided they get more support than last year's one-day school boycott.
If it turns out that Brown is right and that charter schools aren't needed, great.
But the stakes are too high for parents to slack up now and wait for solutions from the same forces that contributed to the problem.

September is "the time to visit SeaWorld"
Tourists have been urged to visit the SeaWorld theme park in Florida during September to experience the "bigger picture".
In an article for Jim Hill Media, Eric Davies points out that the quieter season is really the best time to enjoy the Florida theme park.
Access to all of the "innovative" attractions to be found across the 200-acre park is thought to improve because the number of visitors is thought to drop by around 35,000 after August.
This makes "getting on your favourite ride, show or attraction there a relative breeze".
Mr Davies wrote: "During this quieter time of year, when it is a lot easier to get around this 200-acre marine park, you can really take in the bigger picture."
SeaWorld recently held a new green initiative for Californian residents with electronic equipment they are keen to dispose of, reports Sign on San Diego.
Those that dropped off any unwanted goods – from TVs to computers – received an entry discount voucher for the theme park and a coupon book for Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Markets.
Family – Theme Parks – Treat the family to a day at one of the Disney resorts or to a splashing day out at a Spanish waterpark.

In lieu of gifts, Scout donates toys
Alex Davani, 14 and a freshman at Aliso Niguel High School, recently earned his Eagle Scout ranking.
While only 21 merit badges required to attain the rank of Eagle, Davani has earned 78. He hopes to earn all badges – more than 130 – by the time he turns 18.
"When I approached Alex about what he wanted for gifts, it didn't take him long to answer. 'Mom, I have a lot already. I have enough. I want other kids to receive the gifts that people want to bring me. Kids who won't have presents to open this year,'" said Diane Davani.
"So Alex asked those who would have purchased gifts for him to please bring unwrapped toys for the Orange County Fire Authority's Spark of Love Holiday Toy Drive."
Last week, Alex and his mother took the toys to Station 57 on their way to the Aliso Viejo City Council meeting, where he was recognized by Mayor Carmen Cave for his efforts.
"Our family, and those that donated, can't help but think about how many smiles will come from so many kids – from each one of these gifts. Alex's wish is that maybe other Scouts would be inspired to do the same thing – whether it's during the holidays or just during the year … We're proud to see our son putting this into practice. Alex is a great kid – but I'm even a luckier mom," Diane Davani said.

We had occasion about a year ago to review an admirable piece of research made in the field of public health and morals by F. Elizabeth Crowell,1 who investigated 500 of the mid-wives of New York City with special reference to their training, methods, and criminal work. The present number of The Journal2 contains the report of a similar investigation of the mid-wives of Chicago, which was carried on last summer under the supervision of Miss Crowell. The report is of great value to the people of Chicago and the city owes a debt of gratitude to the Chicago Medical Society and Hull House, under whose auspices the investigation was made, for presenting clearly and forcibly a situation which calls for instant amelioration. We are told that the Chicago Medical Society was prompted to enter on the investigation because of the evidence of criminal practices by midwives acquired

Freeway rest stops, generally speaking, do nothing to showcase local attractions. Bleary-eyed travelers pull off the road just long enough to use the bathroom, toss out accumulated garbage and maybe -- just maybe -- take a sip of water.
Canby resident Terry Hauck is out to change that.
Hauck, a former high-end homebuilder, was laid off in May from his job selling fencing. Now, he's about to start work as one of the first seven full-time managers hired to help reimagine the role that freeway rest areas play for tens of thousands of motorists daily.
"I'm basically writing the book as I go," said Hauck, 60. "It's going to be a very interesting time."
Starting Jan. 1, Hauck will begin managing the north- and south-bound Baldock rest stops on Interstate 5 just south of Wilsonville. His job, along with numerous other managers, assistant managers, landscapers, electricians and plumbers involved in the project, was created when the 2009 Legislature passed the Oregon Jobs and Transportation Act.
An obscure provision in the $300 million annual bill transferred authority over seven of the state's 32 freeway rest areas to the Oregon Travel Information Council, the state agency charged with administering the State Highway Logo Program and other tasks.
Information council executives are rolling out a plan that, in addition to management duties, lets local communities promote area tourist attractions, interesting businesses and not-to-miss attractions.
And that's just the start.
Gail Achterman, chairwoman of the Oregon Transportation Commission, which is a partner in the project, is pushing for establishment of what she says would be the first zero-carbon footprint rest stop in the country.
Ideas being tossed around include use of photo-voltaic panels, solar-heated hot water, low-energy heating and cooling units, rainwater catchment sufficient to flush all fixtures year-round and light-controlled dimmers for interior illumination.
Students from the University of Oregon and Oregon State University will collaborate to finalize the list.
"With all the shortfalls in budgets over the past 20 years, it's very understandable that maintenance of rest stops hasn't been a top priority," Achterman said. "But now, finally, we'll be able to welcome visitors to Oregon in a way we'd really like."
Rest stops involved in the program were chosen based on economic potential, said Cheryl Gribskov, the information council's CEO. The stops selected are two in Wilsonville, two in Albany and one each in, Grants Pass, Boardman and Ontario.
Preliminary assessments of the rest areas have already been completed in attempts to identify such things as hazardous trees and problem areas with existing structures. Local carpenters will be hired to make needed repairs, while future electrical and plumbing needs will be contracted on an on-call basis.
"We're hoping to establish a national model," Gribskov said. "We want these areas to be vibrant and able to tap into what our local communities and economies have to offer."
Financing for the program -- $3 million a year for the next 10 years -- is coming from the vehicle-registration increases, gas and diesel tax increases and other provisions included in the Jobs and Transportation Act.
For Hauck, after months of being told he was over-qualified for the jobs he'd applied for, getting any job at all felt like an important first step.
As for the thought of managing a freeway rest stop?
"I'll be the first face a lot of folks coming into Oregon will see," he said. "I think that's pretty exciting."

Japan Orders Nationwide Check of Tunnels After Collapse
Japan ordered inspections of 49 tunnels nationwide after the collapse of a highway tunnel near Mt. Fuji killed nine people and crushed cars in the nation's deadliest tunnel disaster in 16 years.
The inspections are to be conducted by Dec. 12 on all tunnels that have a ceiling structure similar to the collapsed tunnel's, according to a statement on the transport ministry's website yesterday. About 270 concrete slabs weighing 1.4 tons each fell from the ceiling of the Sasago Chuo expressway tunnel about 85 kilometers (53 miles) west of Tokyo Sunday morning.
Police raided the headquarters of highway operator Central Nippon Expressway Co. today, company spokesman Satoshi Noguchi said in a phone interview. "We will fully cooperate with the police," he said. Police and Central Nippon engineers are investigating the cause of the collapse, according to Noguchi.
The Sasago underground passage remained closed, causing traffic jams in Otsuki city, where the tunnel runs, and along a section of Route 20 that runs parallel to the expressway linking Tokyo and Nagoya, Japan's fourth-largest city, according to Yoshihiro Seto, a police spokesman. The incident shows Japan needs to improve aging facilities, said Masahiro Mochizuki, a Tokyo-based analyst at Credit Suisse AG.
"Japan has the most earthquakes, and there needs to be more investment in public infrastructure," said Mochizuki. "Most roads in Japan were built around the time of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics and are aging."
Missing Bolts
The tunnel to Tokyo's Haneda airport, and the Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line, which includes an underwater passage between Kanagawa and Chiba prefectures, are among the facilities to be inspected, according to the transport ministry. The passages, like Sasago, have concrete slab ceilings that are suspended by metal bolts to allow ventilation.
The tunnels will remain partly open during the inspections, according to Central Nippon's Noguchi.
Some bolts securing a strap supporting the tunnel ceiling were discovered missing, Noguchi said. The Sasago tunnel in Yamanashi prefecture was last inspected by Central Nippon in September, according to the Transport ministry.
"The bolts may have been getting old or earthquakes may have had some effect," said Satoshi Noguchi, a spokesman for Central Nippon.
The 4-kilometer Sasago passage, built in 1976, is near the start of an expressway that carried an average of 37,000 vehicles a day in the 12 months through April.
Deliveries Delayed
Amazon.com Inc. temporarily suspended its instant shipping service in the area served by the tunnel and restaurant operator Yoshinoya Holdings Co. rerouted food deliveries, the Sankei newspaper reported. Convenience store chain FamilyMart Co. said it's adjusting the timing of its deliveries.
Japan's highway network includes more than 1,500 tunnels, with a quarter of them more than 30 years old, according to the Transport Ministry. The Sasago tunnel was built by a venture between Taisei Corp. and Obayashi Corp. Taisei fell 0.9 percent as of 11:30 a.m. in Tokyo trading today while Obayashi declined 0.2 percent.
"Opposition toward public spending on infrastructure will probably become relaxed," said Yoji Otani, an analyst at Deutsche Bank AG in Tokyo. "You can't place a value on human lives."
Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda expressed his condolences to the victims yesterday and ordered the transport minister to provide emergency relief to the injured and investigate the cause quickly.
In 1996, a rockslide near the entrance of the Toyohama tunnel in Hokkaido crushed a bus and killed 20 people, while 7 people died in 1979 in the Nihonzaka tunnel along the Tomei expressway in Shizuoka prefecture after a fire from a car crash.
