Greek pic nabs to award at Montreal's oldest film fest
The Louve d'Or, the top prize at the Montreal Festival du Nouveau Cinema, went to the Greek pic "Dogtooth" from writer-helmer Yorgos Lanthimos. The pic, which also won the top prize in the Un Certain Regard sidebar at the Cannes Film Festival, is a disturbing portrait of a family living on the outskirts of a Greek City. The father keeps his three kids in total isolation from the rest of the world.
The L'Ouve d'Or is for the best first, second or third feature in the International Section at the festival, the event's highest-profile section, and prize comes with cheque for C$15,000 ($14,500). The jury was headed by Toronto Intl. Film Festival co-director Cameron Bailey.
The 38th edition of the Festival du Nouveau Cinema, Montreal's oldest film fest, wrapped Saturday night with the doling out of awards, followed by the screening of "Happy End", from helmers Arnaud and Jean-Marie Larrieu, a French romantic drama starring Mathieu Amalric, Catherine Frot and Karin Viard. The fest is the city's smaller, edgier film festival, a rival to the Montreal World Film Festival.
Chao Gan's Chinese-German co-pro "The Red Race" was given the Louve d'Or jury's special mention, while the acting award for best actor in a feature film in the International Section was given to Peruvian actress Magaly Solier for her lead role in the Peruvian pic "The Milk of Sorrow", a film about the abuse of women in Peru.
The Daniel Langlois Innovation Award was given to helmer Ismail Necmi's Turkish pic "Should I Really Do It?". The Grand Prix Focus given to the best feature in the all-Canuck Focus section went to Quebec helmer Simon Galiero's "Nuages Sur la Ville", with the jury's special mention going to Sherry White's "Crackie".
The Silver Loup for best short film was given to Maarit Suomi-Vaanaen's Finnish pic "Jalkeilaa Tass". Pedro Pires's "Danse Macabre" won the Grand Prix Focus for best Canadian short film, with the jury special mention going to Emile Proulx-Cloutier's "La Vie Commence". The AQCC (Association Quebecoise des Critiques de Cinema) prize for best film in the International Section was won by helmer Claudia Llosa's "The Milk of Sorrow", with the jury special mentions going to Fredrik Edfeldt's "The Girl" and Alexis Dos Santos's British pic "Unmade Beds."
The people's choice award for best film in the Temps 0 section – a sidebar devoted to more experimental pics – was won by helmers Helen Cattet and Bruno Forzani's French-Belgian co-pro "Amer".

The Falls (Paperback)
It is 1950 and, after a disastrous honeymoon night, Ariah Erskine's young husband throws himself into the roaring waters of Niagara Falls. Ariah, "the Widow Bride of the Falls," begins a relentless seven-day vigil in the mist, waiting for his body to be found. At her side is confirmed bachelor and pillar of the community Dirk Burnaby, who is unexpectedly drawn to her. What follows is a passionate love affair, marriage, and family -- a seemingly perfect existence. But tragedy soon takes over their lives, poisoning their halcyon years with distrust, greed, and murder.
Set against the mythic-historic backdrop of Niagara Falls in the mid-twentieth century, this haunting exploration of the American family in crisis is a stunning achievement from "one of the great artistic forces of our time" (The Nation).This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more.

Exxon Mobil Profit Per Gallon Of Gas = 2 cents Government Profit = **48 cents**
posted 4/28/2011 7:21:40 PM |
what's this?
report abuse
In the latest quarter, Exxon Mobil made just over 2 cents per gallon in profit for a gallon of gas it sold. But the federal and state governments, which tack HUGE taxes on every gallon of gas you buy made a whopping 48 cents per gallon. And that's just an average. In some states, like California government took a whopping 66 cents for every gallon consumers bought.
But that doesn't even count the "hidden" taxes that the government imposes on each gallon such as the so called " corporate taxes." The government imposes HUGE taxes on companies like Exxon Mobil. But oil companies don't actually pay any taxes any more than any other companies do. They build those taxes into the price of the product they sell passing them along to the consumer. Which means YOU pay the taxes. The money goes to the government, but it isn't called taxes. And that's ON TOP OF AND IN ADDITION TO the 48 cents you are already paying for every gallon you buy.
And unlike Exxon Mobil, which only makes money if you buy their brand, the government doesn't care which brand you buy. THEY GET THEIR CUT ON EVERY SINGLE BRAND. It's a racket that would make the Mob blush.
Gas stations used to post the taxes on every gas pump so people could know how much they are paying in taxes when they fill up. But the left lobbied to pass a law to prevent that and political pressure forced them to stop posting that information. THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE STEALING FROM YOU.
Meanwhile, you hear one speech after another from Obama, the Democrats and the left demonizing the oil companies, demanding that they be punished for their outrageous greed and calling for EVEN MORE taxes to be imposed on them THAT YOU WILL END UP PAYING.
The federal government alone is borrowing ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS **EVERY HOUR** to fund its out of control spending habit. $188,000,000 EVERY HOUR OF EVERY DAY IN BORROWING. And still, that isn't enough for Obama and the Democrats. What is their answer to the government spending death spiral we we are in? .... SPEND MORE ... TAX MORE ... BORROW MORE.
Obama states that nothing can be done about oil prices. Oh really? How about CUTTING OUT THE DAMN TAXES? How come he didn't mention any of this in any of his speeches?
Obama and the Democrats keep telling us "We know you don't want to pay more taxes, but we all need to sacrifice to help the economy." I don't know about you, but I think we sacrifice enough for the damn government. HOW ABOUT THE DAMN GOVERNMENT SACRIFICE FOR US FOR A CHANGE?

I'm glad your on my side. Run for anything, I'll vote for you

I use my feet a lot, my bike and my Honda Fit......no gas required.
If we all stopped buying gas....then what? I know....some can't afford not to ....but who can afford "to"?
It's crazy.....there are so many other options yet we continue to guzzle the gas.
At this point I don't think anything can "help" the economy. Are we to far gone?
Apr 28 @ 10:39PM
You know a gallon of milk is around the same price as a gallon of gas in many places. And there is a whole lot more investment and costs involved in producing a gallon of gas than a gallon of milk.
Yet I don't see Obama calling for more taxes on cows or government investigations of dairy farms.
Why? Because demonizing cows and dairy farmers doesn't fit his agenda. But demonizing oil and oil companies does.
Let me ask you something:
If I place a bet that a team will score 1,000 points in a basketball game does that mean they will score more points? They will score as many points as they can. They don't care what I bet, it is irrelevant.
Well blaming Wall Street "speculators" for the price of oil is about as stupid as blaming people who bet on sporting events for the scores in the games. It's exactly the same principle.
BTW: Federal and state taxes in Hawaii are over 64 cents per gallon. At $4 a gallon that's a 16% tax. But when Obama took office, gas was about $1.80 a gallon. The taxes were the same 64 cents. That means taxes were over
of the cost of gas.
And as I pointed out. That only includes the part that was called "tax." Who knows how much more of what you pay goes to the government in hidden taxes passed through to you in the price to cover the cost of all the government fees, regulation compliance costs and corporate taxes they slam the oil companies with?
The oil companies aren't the problem, the "speculators" aren't the problem. The government is the problem.

The tax is high to help pay for the 4 billion dollars in subsidies Exxon gets from the government. The taxes also help maintain the poor conditions of the interstate highways..
The Commodity traders and our demand vs refinery issues are what really drive the prices up. Some states gouge the buyer just as bad as the feds..
I've also seen the same chart and similar article dated yesterday by the same guy saying 7 cents vs 42 cents.. So it sounds like the data being shared is not so accurate..
Apr 29 @ 12:15AM
Speaking of $4 billion.
Shell Oil spent $4 billion looking for oil in Alaska and discovered a shitload of it.
But Obama's EPA denied them a permit to drill for it.
Apr 29 @ 11:43AM
Just a point of order,,,, if I may.
Profit, is what you have left over after you pay your bills.
Now, considering the debt our country has,,,
and considering all the the gasoline sold in the country,, not just Exxon Mobil,,,,
The amount added to each gallon of gas to pay the debt in one year is....
$100 per gallon. A freaking C-note for every single gallon of gasoline purchased.
Now that does not sound too bad,,,
It means you could fill up a Honda for about $1600 dollars.
Now,,, you tell me,,, is this a taxation problem, or a spending problem.
Apr 29 @ 4:59PM
Let me ask a question for the liberals reading this.
Communists/socialists/progressives/liberals/America haters claim to care about the interests of the "little guy."
But yet they try to destroy the oil industry, an industry owned by millions of little guys.
Take Exxon Mobil, for example. Hundreds of thousands, if not millions of Americans own Exxon: directly, through their pension plans, through mutual funds, through insurance plans or because they are one of the nearly 100,000 people that Exxon employs and they belong to the company's stock ownership plan. These are moms and pops, grandmas and grandpas, the couple next door, the middle class, the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker.
Now tell me this. Exxon and its owners have to put their money at risk to spend billions looking for new sources of oil so they you can run your car, heat your home, have a roof over your head and food on your table often getting nothing for their effort because either there was no oil where they explored, or because the government refused to let them drill where they found the oil, or a hundred other possible reasons. Then they have to construct the drilling rigs, install them in some of the harshest conditions on the planet, spend months and sometimes years drilling for the oil, transport the oil around the globe on ships and trucks and through pipelines (that they have to purchase and build ... btw creating millions of more jobs), refine the oil into gas, transport it to a network of gas stations by trucks, maintain the network of gas stations, and then sell the gas to consumers.
For this they make a profit of a little over 2 cents per gallon.
The government on average makes at least 48 cents a gallon on the gas that Exxon sells. And its real profit is probably at least twice that as I explained previously. What exactly does the government do to earn that money?
You say you are for the little guy and the middle class. Why then do you begrudge the little guy his 2 cents for all of the risk, work and effort he has to expend to provide such a vital product that everyone -- including the middle class -- needs and demands yet you have no problem with the giant juggernaut of government coming in with its heavy hand and adding 50 times that amount to the price of every gallon SOLD TO THE LITTLE GUY while contributing absolutely nothing to the process?

DescriptionOne of the world's largest microhylids, F 55-63 mm, M up to 100 mm. Tympanum distinct, about 1/2 of eye diameter. Fingertips moderately enlarged. Tibiotarsal articulation reaches at least the eye. Finger 4 longer than finger 2. Skin on the back smooth. Back light brown, sometimes with a darker marking between the eyes, a darker brown inversed V-shaped marking and a pair of black spots in the inguinal region (Glaw and Vences 2007).
Similar species: Most other microhylids are smaller. Platypelis grandis has granular skin and larger finger discs (Glaw and Vences 2007).
Distribution and Habitat
Country distribution from AmphibiaWeb's database: Madagascar
Life History, Abundance, Activity, and Special BehaviorsHabits: Under fallen tree trunks or on the forest floor. A calling male was found in a tree hole at a height of about 50 cm, indicating some kind of climbing behaviour in this species. Large eggs were found in tree holes, often close to the ground. Eggs probably belonging to this species were regurgitated by a male of the snake Liopholidophis rhadinaea. The stomach of a dissected specimen contained two scorpions and one stick-insect (Glaw and Vences 2007).
Calls: Reminds the barking of a small dog and consists of single melodious notes, repeated after regular intervals (Glaw and Vences 2007).
Trends and ThreatsSpecies is listed as least concern in view of its wide distribution, presumed large population, and because it is unlikely to be declining fast enough to qualify for listing in a more threatened category (Nussbaum et. al 2008).
It occurs in many protected areas. However, its forest habitat is receding due to subsistence agriculture, timber extraction, charcoal manufacture, and invasive spread of eucalyptus, livestock grazing and expanding human settlements (Nussbaum et. al 2008).
Possible reasons for amphibian decline
General habitat alteration and lossHabitat modification from deforestation, or logging related activitiesIntensified agriculture or grazingUrbanization

You get my drift? Pesticides cause big problems when they go where they're not wanted
By John Upton
Too many crop dusters are accidentally missing their targets and spraying poisonous pesticides where they're not supposed to go, killing crops and sickening farmers' neighbors.
Indiana Public Media reports that three-quarters of farm pesticide violations in the state involve what is euphemistically called "drift." That is, the chemicals don't land where they're intended to. From the report, which is the first in a three-part series on the problem:
[Farmer Brett] Middlesworth grows about 300 acres of tomatoes each year, but last summer he saw about a tenth of his yield damaged by a single instance of pesticide drift.
It happened halfway through the growing season. His neighbor was spraying a soybean field with Roundup herbicide. The wind picked up and carried the spray across the property line and onto Middlesworth's tomatoes.
As Roundup targets broadleaf weeds, and tomatoes are broadleaf plants, the area closest to his neighbor was a total loss. …
[T]he Office of the Indiana State Chemist, the agency tasked with enforcing state pesticide laws, documented 97 cases from 2010 through 2012 where applicators spraying farms violated anti-drift laws.
Most reports of harm caused by pesticides drifting onto someone's property involve damage to plants. But in the last several years, the state has documented a dozen violations where someone said exposure to drifting pesticides made them sick.

Existence of Optimal Mechanisms in Principal-Agent Problems

We provide general conditions under which principal-agent problems admit mechanisms that are optimal for the principal. Our result covers as special cases those in which the agent has no private information - i.e., pure moral hazard - as well as those in which the agent's only action is a participation decision - i.e., pure adverse selection. We allow multi-dimensional actions and signals, as well as both financial and non-financial rewards. Beyond measurability, we require no a priori restrictions on the space of mechanisms. Consequently, our optimal mechanisms are optimal among all measurable mechanisms. A key to obtaining our result is to permit randomized mechanisms. We also provide conditions under which randomization is unnecessary.

The Cave of Hymns
Elise sat down next to me, somewhat pale but smiling. She looked at me and scolded me, "Get your feet of the table!" She said, rather playfully.
"Good mood?" She nodded, I had no idea why. But very soon after Higoroshi started a speech. Frio didn't care much, now even the exploding lounge, though he dd hear enough to know that he would be fighting
and obviously someone strong. Clearly he wasn't the only one thinking this, and one of the students yelled at the teacher and stormed out. Higoroshi tried to explain his plan, but the words were lost, and I wondered why he snapped like that, fear maybe.
My thoughts were interrupted by another,
how did Elise react?
I looked over at her, and she seemed flustered. "Hey, uh what's the matter?" I already
what was bothering her. My efforts all day to hide the school's purpose was shattered in less than an hour.
"He said Youkai?" She said slowly. I nodded, "As in monsters?" again I nodded as she verbally pieced everything together. "And they are killing teachers and students?"
is we're I had to decide to keep her in darkness or tell the truth.
"No..." I put my feet on the ground and sat up, now was a time for seriousness. "Look, I need you to be
calm for a while ok?" She nodded, but I could see that it was not likely. "
" I motioned the whole class, "as in teachers and students are Youkai."
Her reaction was one of fear, the ones I had seen in movies. I wondered if she was scared of me, "S-so you're a monster?" I nodded, "And Higoroshi?" I nodded again. She stood up and started backing toward the back wall. "This isn't a joke right?"
"No, I tried to hide it from you... But I promise, Youkai are not evil." I looked at her, but made no motion toward her, "You promised to stay calm..." She was making a scene now, looking fearful and flustered. "Just go to your room and sleep, tomorrow come to class extra early and I'll explain more..." She nodded, still trusting me a little bit.
"O-ok" I bet she figured I was her best protection, or maybe she was lying and wouldn't meet me tomorrow. Either way she tried to walk out normally, though she trembled and shivered in a way that surely gave away her fear.
My chest hurt again, maybe some sort of cramp. In spite of that, I looked at Higoroshi who looked out the window. He couldn't be much older than us, I wondered if he was scared too. He asked everyone to leave, but I wanted to talk to him first.
I walked up, apathetic to the graveyard, Oz, and the attack, those didn't really bother me today, instead I had to think about the today. "Higoroshi," I said standing next to him at the window, seeing what he was looking at. "The loud kid, has a point. Even if this Oz guy holds back, he would surely try harder as he gets defeated... Though I don't think that matters today. I
you have student records, and I'm sure they have our Youkai forms. So I
you know there is a human in this class." I took a deep sigh, finishing my point.
I turned to look at him, "And to be honest if the human is hurt tomorrow, I
probably kill
as compensation." I said it calmly and seriously. It wasn't a threat as far as I was concerned, but if Elise washer to get hurt, I'd blame it on the teacher. "I'll work with you as much as you need me to, consider me your most trusted student, but I have a reason and if the reason is taken from me, I won't be so trusted." I looked back out the window.
Could he be staring at the sun sinking, or the clouds, or the students making their way to class?

Political Action Committee
- Details
- Published: 23 May 2011
For New York ACEP to make a legislative impact, we need emergency physicians to contribute to NYEMPAC. Invest in emergency medicine's legislative efforts in New York State. NYEMPAC offers a variety of giving levels so every emergency medicine physician can become involved in the political process.
|Political Visionary
|Policy Driver
|Grassroots Activist
|Practice Advocate
NYEMPAC, the New York Emergency Medicine Political Action Committee, aggressively pursues the election and re-election of candidates for state office who will stand up and support emergency medicine issues. NYEMPAC is governed by a Board of Trustees, who direct the organization's contributions. NYEMPAC makes contributions to members of both political parties.
The NYEMPAC Board works with New York ACEP's lobbyists and staff to identify candidates who are sensitive to the concerns of emergency physicians and patients seeking emergency care.
Emergency physicians in New York are facing a number of critical issues from hospital crowding to rising medical malpractice insurance and dwindling reimbursement. We are working to convince New York legislators and the administration that reforms in these areas are necessary to protect emergency medical care and EMS services for New York's citizens.
We can only be effective with a strong political action committee. Thanks to the growth of NYEMPAC, New York ACEP has been able to increase its involvement in the political process. Members of the New York State legislature know who we are, know we are involved, and know what issues are important to us because of NYEMPAC.
Thanks to our contributors generosity. We must do better to achieve our goals! We set a $50,000 goal for 2013.
Let's face it. Advocacy is not just having the "right" position on issues; it's having the proper resources to deliver our message and tell our story. The New York Emergency Medicine Political Action Committee is that resource. Get involved by joining hundreds of physicians who agree that NYEMPAC is the best investment you can make to influence our profession's long term growth. A new session of the legislature began in January, and with it comes the opportunity for New York ACEP to make an impact. NYEMPAC offers a variety of giving levels so every emergency medicine physician can become involved in the political process.

It's that time of year again. Christmas parties. New Year's Eve on the town. Splashy cocktail soirees. Yes, it's that horrifying time when women everywhere find themselves uttering the five most dreaded words in the English language: I have nothing to wear.
Relax, ladies, Joanna Doniger has your number—for this season and the other three. If you have ever dreamed—and who hasn't?—of dressing up in one of those $2,000 drop-dead designer gowns that leap from the pages of Vogue, Doniger, 33, may be able to put you in your fantasy. Last month in Manhattan she opened the first U.S. spin-off of her successful One Night Stand rent-a-dress shops in London. For fees ranging from $75 to $300 per night, plus a security deposit of at least $200, customers can rent splashy gowns or evening dresses (worth up to $2,500) by such well-known designers as Arnold Scaasi and Bruce Oldfield, one of Princess Diana's most favored couturiers.
Diana, of course, would never resort to renting—and if she did, she would never resort to admitting it. But for those with more plebeian budgets who can't afford four-digit price tags for a one-event dress, Doniger's business can make dreams come true. Apart from enjoying the financial advantage of renting, party animals will be able to burnish their sartorial images. "If you wear an evening dress more than three times with the same people, you do tend to get a reputation of 'Oh, the girl in the same old pink-spotted dress,' " says Doniger.
One Night Stand is not the first business of its kind in Manhattan, but it is the largest. Doniger's Madison Avenue showroom is filled with more than 500 au courant dresses—neon-bright dresses, leopard-print and flamenco-style dresses, gold lame gowns, black skirts, lace skirts, and puffs of petticoats, crinolines and tulle. Accessories—boas, bags and jewels—are also for rent, and even a few maternity dresses are available. "There's been a tremendous demand for those," says Doniger. "We can't keep up."
Rentals are by appointment only, and on one recent morning, just a week after the shop's opening, all six changing rooms were full and the appointment book was already crowded. Carole Lawlor, 33, a men's clothing designer, was shoehorned in at the last minute for a black-tie dinner that very night. "I had planned to spend the morning going to every store in town, plus find time to get my hair done," she explained. Then her boss told her about One Night Stand, and Lawlor wound up renting a blue tulip skirt and black bustier top (an $800 value) for $130. Her grateful conclusion: "This place is wonderful."
Formerly a designer and manufacturer of leatherwear, Doniger, a London native, started her rental business there four years ago. "A girlfriend of mine was going to this terribly smart do at Kensington Palace for Princess Margaret and was in a complete panic over what to wear," she recalls. Doniger had her workers turn out an impromptu off-the-shoulder number, and her friend was thrilled, but Doniger realized that the woman's predicament was a common one. So, with 100 gowns bought wholesale at collections in Paris, Milan, London and New York, Doniger opened a shop in yuppie-filled Sloane Square. The business took off, and last May she opened her second store in Regent's Park.
Doniger won't divulge customers' names, but she assumes that clients must be telling on themselves "because we have tremendous referrals and word-of-mouth. In London, we have celebrities who come in to rent dresses for their television shows, and lots of our dresses went to the dance the night before Prince Andrew's wedding. They show up at plenty of royal functions."
Doniger's shops take care of post-party dry cleaning, and only twice (at the London shops) have withheld security deposits when dresses came back ruined. In general, Doniger tends to be philosophical about cigarette burns, food stains and spike-heel-through-the-hem holes. "If a woman comes in with gravy spills down her back from some waiter who's thrown it all over her, that's not her fault, and I can't penalize her for that," she says.
Not all horror stories are so routine. One renter tried ironing a dress at home and put a hole right through it. Doniger's most memorable disaster, though, involved a slinky red halter dress by British designer Janice Wainwright (worth $900 retail) that came back ruined from a university ball. "There were rips and cigar burns in funny places, and stains that were unmentionable," recalls Doniger. "Absolutely dreadful!"
So far, Doniger sees little difference between British and American tastes in evening dresses. This season, women on both sides of the big pond crave short dresses and "black, black and more black." But seasons pass and dresses grow weary. Come February, most of the winter party garb will be sold off, but not to just anybody. Old friends—customers who have rented a dress and had a ball in it—will be given the first option to buy.

Jerrid Mooney and Tony Piraino are two visionary businessmen who absolutely LOVE Detroit. So much so that they decided to create a special event to celebrate the passionate Spirit that Detroiters have for their city. They titled it "The Drop" and made local history.
First they erected an 11-story free-standing tower that rises majestically from the foot of Woodward avenue near the Compuware Center. Then they forged a giant illuminated "Letter D" to sit atop it as a one-night beacon for the city.
Just a few minutes before midnight, the "D" begins its slow descent down the tower while changing colors as thousands of excited onlookers cheer the approach of the New Year. It is a breathtaking visual sight.
Leading into "The Drop" is the performance of the "Light Up Detroit" theme song which musically symbolizes what Mooney and Piraino are trying to achieve visually and symbolically – Light Up Detroit and bring people downtown
in a collective spirit to celebrate all that is great about this fabulous city. Female singing group, DMK, will lead the crowd in singing the anthem this year.
With their imagination and efforts, Mooney and Piraino have securely established a wonderful new ongoing Holiday Tradition and have inspired hundreds of thousands of people throughout Metro Detroit to embrace
Detroit and its downtown area. Bravo, gentlemen. Detroit appreciates you.
This year, the D-Drop Duet have a surprise in store for the attendees of Motor City New Year's Eve celebration. Never satisfied with past accomplishments, they are completely re-engineering "The Drop". They have commissioned noted metal artists, the Nordin Brothers, to design and build a masterpiece object to serve as the new symbol for the event. It's called the "D Burst" and it will be spectacular.

NABP Clearinghouse
The NABP Clearinghouse is a national database of educational, competence, licensure, and disciplinary information on pharmacists practicing in NABP's member states and jurisdictions. The Constitution and Bylaws mandates participation in the Clearinghouse as part of a board of pharmacy's membership to NABP.
The NABP Clearinghouse is a vital component of the licensure transfer process – timely reporting by the boards of pharmacy is essential to maintaining the integrity of the licensure transfer program. Information housed in the Clearinghouse is used in determining the acceptability and qualifications of pharmacists who request the transfer of examination scores and licenses into other states or jurisdictions.
The Clearinghouse also houses information reported by the member boards of pharmacy on actions taken against wholesale distributors, pharmacies, pharmacy owners, and pharmacy technicians and interns. This information is used during NABP's accreditation processes to screen applicants to NABP's VAWD, VIPPS, and DMEPOS programs.
In accordance with the Constitution and Bylaws, member boards of pharmacy furnish reports to the NABP Clearinghouse on actions taken in their state. For more details on the data required for the NABP Clearinghouse, see the data submission requirements. Or, for information on getting started, contact Customer Service.
Providing Resources for Professional Accountability
Each month, NABP supplies reports to the boards of pharmacy on information contained in the Clearinghouse. These reports include a recap of the information the board has submitted to the Clearinghouse. Also, if a licensee is licensed in multiple states, each board where the individual is licensed will receive information about actions taken by any of those boards.
As a safety net, these reports allow boards to screen for licensees who have failed to uphold professional and public safety standards and make informed decisions regarding who qualifies to practice pharmacy in their respective states. With many board of pharmacy licensees holding licenses in multiple states, this information is vital to determining whether a current or prospective licensee is eligible to practice pharmacy or operate a licensed facility.
NABP: A Board of Pharmacy's HIPDB Reporting Agent
Healthcare Integrity and Protection Data Bank (HIPDB) is a national data collection program. Federal and state licensing and certification agencies, including boards of pharmacy, must report final adverse actions taken against health care practitioners, providers, or suppliers to HIPDB. NABP can help meet the burden of these reporting obligations by serving as the board's reporting agent.

Resident Evil 5 Review
With a whole heap of content to unlock, a campaign that begs to be replayed and top of the line production values there's very little to be disappointed with.
Completely new to the series is a real-time inventory system, although with it comes an inability to upgrade your inventory's size. Sheva and Chris each have nine slots (every item takes up one slot, so there's no accounting for big weapons taking up more space), which means you can't simply take everything you see. It's key to leave any unnecessary items in storage at the end of each act (the game is split into six chapters, each comprised of two or three acts), leaving you room to carry ammo for your weapons and pick up herbs and other weapons you'll find. The PC versions gives you instant access to most of these items by using the 1-9 buttons on the keyboard, which removes some of the inventory management frustration found in the console releases.
Gladly you can carry over your items from one game to the next once you finish the campaign, allowing you to start again (perhaps at a higher difficulty) with your tuned up guns. This has always been a great part of the series, and it's just as much fun here, replaying previously tricky sections with a maxed out head-shot, 100 bullet capacity hand gun and a fast reloading death-dealing shotgun and laughing at the ensuing carnage.
Any PC gamers who bought Resident Evil 4 to find a game that lacked key graphical features seen in the GameCube game had reason to be concerned about this console to PC port, but gladly Capcom hasn't made the same mistake twice: Resi 5 is visually stunning. Some of the animations are a little clunky and we've seen far better physics, but the environments, bosses and general atmosphere on offer here is worthy of a tremendous amount of praise. The PC game runs well on modest hardware, and the improved texture quality and support for higher resolutions makes this by far the best looking version of the game you can buy. There's even support for Nvidia's 3D Vision technology, although we weren't able to test this feature.
If there's a criticism to be levelled at the game it's that it doesn't feel all that Resident Evilee, with much of the game taking place in broad daylight. That doesn't mean it's lacking creepiness, as there are moments here that will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up (the many infected come in some rather disgusting forms, including the hideous split-head dogs), but Resi 5 definitely feels different to the games that have gone before it.
Puzzles, which have been a staple part of the series, occur infrequently and of those only one needed a bit of out of the box thinking. Resi 5 feels more like an action game than any game in the series, with a lot of cover-based shooting, loads of machine gun carrying enemies and a definite industrial feel. As spectacular as this action packed gameplay is, there's no doubt that Resi 5 is missing something that made the previous game so special. Whether it was the relationship between lead man Leon and the hopeless Ashley, the forever amusing tradesman or the outrageous boss encounters, Capcom's latest just can't quite match it.
Once you're done with the main game there's the superb Mercenaries mode (playable cooperatively online) to tackle, in which you face off against hordes of the infected in closed levels as you try to score as many points as possible. There's enough content in this mode to keep you playing for hours, and if you've got a PC powerful enough an exclusive mode throws up to three times as many enemies at you at once - it's real Dawn of the Dead stuff and looks brilliant.
Don't let that rather disappointing comparison to Resident Evil 4 fool you. Coming second to one of the best games of our generation is nothing to be sniffed at, and Resident Evil 5 is still a game that does the series proud. With a whole heap of content to unlock, a campaign that begs to be replayed and top of the line production values there's very little to be disappointed with. If you've read all that and the first thing in your mind is "but you can't move and shoot?" this isn't for you, but everyone else should grab a friend and enter the world of not quite so much survival horror.

A 6-year-old healthy South Asian boy presented to a pediatric dermatology clinic for evaluation of hypopigmented macules on the cheeks, readily diagnosed as pityriasis alba. On physical examination, an incidental faint papule with a tuft of hair emerging from a central pit was noted on the midline of the nasal bridge (Figure). The patient's mother reports that it had been present since birth and had not changed at all over the years. His medical history revealed only an inguinal hernia repair, and his growth and development were appropriate for his age.

Extraneous variable
Any variable other than the IV that may affect the DV that may occur at a random point in the experiment
Confounding variable
Any variable other than the IV that has a systematic effect on the DV throughout the experiment.

Single blind procedure
The experimenter allocates subjects to either the control or experimenter group so that subjects are unaware of their group, thus eliminating the placebo effect
Double blind procedure
An assistant allocates subjects to either the control or experimental group so that both the experimenter and subjects are unaware of their group, thus eliminating the experimenter group.
Random allocation
All members of the sample have an = chance of being in the control or experimental group
Matched pairs
Subjects are pre-tested and then paired together on a characteristic(s) relevant to the study & then one from each pair is allocated to either the control or experimental condition
Operational hypothesis
Is a statement of the predicted effect of change in the IV on the value of the DV
Convenience sampling
Selecting readily available subjects from a population, with no effort to acquire subjects that are representative of the population
Random sampling
Allocates members from a population to the group involved in an experiment, so that every member has an = chance of being selected
Stratified sampling
The population is divided into groups based on chacteristics relevant to the experiment (e.g. age/gender). The group used for testing matches the proportions of these categories of interest
Order effect
Where the sequence in which conditions were performed (for a repeated measures design) may have an extraneous effect on the DV
Stratified random sampling
The poulation is divided into catergories of interest (e.g. age, IQ), then subjects are randomly allocated from each category to match the proporations (of each category) used for the population of interest
Code of ethics
Provides a set of guidelines that must be followed when experimenting on animals/ humans
The researcher has the responsiblity to maximise possible benefits and minimise potential risks
Any negative consequences of participation in the experiment must be extinguished during this process
The ethics committee must give researchers permission to not fully inform subjects of the procedures used in an experiment

The district rival between Miami Carol City High (2-5) and Miami Central (6-0) took place last Friday at Traz Powell Stadium. I was fortunate to sit next Martha Odom and Derreck Lockett, parents I learned later had three daughters who graduated from Carol City: Lucille Odom, a former captain of the flagettes, Tarsha Lockett, who graduated in 2010 and Janeese Day, a former Bud of Spring.
Quarterback Akeem Jones, connected with receiver Raheem Oliver on an 80-yard touchdown pass on the games first offensive play, while Lockett and Odom screamed to the top of their voices and Carol City went ahead 8-0 on a two-point conversion and the Chiefs never got back into the game, because the Rockets scored 48 unanswered points to stay unbeaten.
During halftime, the Rockets performed first and displayed satisfaction of dynamic choreography as they spread out between the thirty and showed on the hip hop routine. The Chiefs took to the field in front of the home team, marched to center field and reverse their formation and faced the fans. They never stopped moving as they interchange with various formations.
Sharonda J. Strachan, mother of Erin Strachan, took out her cell phone to take pictures of her daughter kneeling, standing, falling on the ground and swinging her trumpet.
Hats off to Band Director Mike Scott, for his deep interest in keeping the band as one of the best bands in the world.
Congratulations to Minister Gloria Pacley for planning her husband Rev. James L. Pacley, Sr., with a surprised 15th Year Pastoral Anniversary Program on last Saturday at Arcola Lakes Park Banquet Center. New Born Faith Deliverance M. B. Church, Rev. Bobby Brown, senior pastor of Birth with a Purpose Ministries, Inc. and friends, completed the 100 people that showed their support.
Minister Greg Watts served as the emcee of the event. He called upon the Praise and Worship team from Birth with a Purpose Ministries, Inc. The team included Minister Tabitha George, Pastor Cathi Hall and Rev. Bobby Brown.
Watts followed by calling on Rev. John Graves, pastor of Salem Baptist. Sister Wendy Goins was asked to give a selection. After the meal, George was called upon to perform a liturgical dance. She chose For every Mountain as her musical piece. She would make your program a success. Call 786-879-2238 for her service.
Minister Floyd Sloan, Leverne Roundree, and Pastor Hall thrilled the crowd with their arrangement of The Blood just before keynote speaker, Rev. Bobby Brown. The Blood was his chosen topic as he preached. Others on the program were Michael Menzies, Reginald Wilkerson, Tillie Tibbins, president, Singing Angels; Etta Mae Lowery, Cynthia Walker and husband.
Reverend Joann Brookins, newly appointed pastor for Opa-Locka UMC and Carol City UMC has shown much growth in her two churches while inviting The Men of Ebenezer to be the guest choir on Sunday, Oct. 9th for two services at both churches and one service on Sunday, Oct. 24th, for the rally. The keynote speaker was Rev. Purnell Moody and The Men of Ebenezer provided the music featuring JaVon Brown, Walter and William Clarke, Tim Strachan, with Ricky Strachan on the drums.

A 41-year-old man sought medical assistance because of discrete memory deficit in the last 3 years. He had been working as a welder for more than 20 years and never used safety measures to avoid the toxic side effects from the welding fumes. The neuropsychological assessment confirmed a cognitive impairment characterized by attention deficit as well as short-term and long-term memory deficits as seen on the results from the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale–Third Revision and the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning tests. He also presented parkinsonian symptoms characterized by bradykinesia and cogwheel rigidity in his upper limbs, which was more pronounced on the right side. The patient also exhibited a slight postural and resting tremor depicted only in the right upper limb. The magnetic resonance imaging scan showed bilateral and symmetric hyperintensities within the substantia nigra, subthalamic region, and globus pallidus on spin-echo T1-weighted images (Figure). We obtained his serum manganese (Mn) level (1.76 μg/mL) by means of atomic absorption spectrophotometry and considered elevated those values higher than 0.85 μg/L (to convert manganese to nanomoles per liter, multiply by 18.202). After the exclusion of other causes related to Mn accumulation, we made the diagnosis of manganism secondary to the toxic side effects from welding fumes. We explained the disease and its prevention to this patient and prescribed as therapy edetic acid intravenously administered at a dose of 1 g twice daily for 10 days; however, as of this writing, he has been lost to follow-up.
Axial T1-weighted images show bilateral and symmetric hyperintensities within the subthalamic region (A) and the globus pallidus (B) (arrows).

TRENTON – A man sitting the passenger seat of a car was shot Wednesday night when another car pulled up alongside his vehicle and one shot was fired from it, police said.
The 28-year-old victim was struck in the torso, taken by ambulance to Capital Health Regional Medical Center and rushed into emergency surgery, Lt. Steve Varn said. The man was in critical but stable condition yesterday.
Police said the shooting happened around 8:45 p.m. at the intersection of South Olden Avenue and Greenwood Avenue.
"While the vehicle he was in was stopped at the light, another vehicle pulled up along the side the victim was in," Varn said.
Feet away from the victim's position as the two cars sat stopped on South Olden, someone inside the second car fired once, striking the victim sitting in the passenger seat. The car carrying the suspect then drove away in an unknown direction.
Police could not say for sure whether the victim was the intended target, but it is part of their investigation. Anyone with information on the crime should call police at (609) 989-4170, or the Confidential Tip Line at (609) 989-3663.

Sounds of the '60s is a long-running Saturday morning programme on BBC Radio 2 that features recordings of popular music made in the 1960s. It was first broadcast on 12 February 1983 and introduced by Keith Fordyce who had been the first presenter of the TV show Ready Steady Go! in 1963. Since 1990 the presenter has been Brian Matthew. The program is also broadcast on 98.1 MHz Eastern FM – Eastern Suburbs (community radio) in Melbourne, Victoria.
In the mid '80 the format changed and each week the programme was presented by a different artist from the Sixties. Many famous names were involved, including: Alvin Stardust, Eddy Grant, Herb Alpert, Graham Nash, Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tom Jones, Neil Sedaka, Donovan, Mike Stoller, Bruce Welch, Duane Eddy, Bill Medley, Roy Wood, Mike Berry, David Crosby and many more. "I Love SOTS" car stickers were given free to listeners.
In December 1988 the then producer Stuart Hobday re-discovered Simon Dee the first voice to have been heard on Radio Caroline in 1964, and persuaded him to present a listeners' all-time-favourite Top 20. The response from the public was so great that Dee was booked for a three-month run early in 1989. His success led to another three-month contract later in the year, but his constant demands for the show to go live and to move from Bristol to London, along with a growing list of complaints to BBC top management, meant that his contract was not renewed.[1]
Subsequently Brian Matthew, who had introduced Saturday Club on the BBC Light Programme until 1967, took over as regular presenter
Brian Matthew[edit]
Matthew first presented Sounds of the '60s on 31 March 1990 and was still doing so in 2015, 25 years after he took over, his place being taken temporarily between September 2006 and February 2007 by former Radio Caroline and BBC Radio 1 disc jockey Johnnie Walker (and, during Walker's own absence in December 2006, by three guest presenters: Sandie Shaw, Joe Brown and Suzi Quatro). Matthew returned on 10 February, revealing that his prolonged absence had been due to a viral infection contracted while in hospital for a routine operation. Matthew also took two weeks off in October 2011 because of illness and Sir Tim Rice sat in for him on both weeks. A Sounds of the '60s CD was released in November 2011. In March 2015 Matthew presented a 25th Anniversary show on March 28, he selected 10 of his favourite songs of the 1960s & there were tributes from Ray Davies, Helen Shapiro, Paul Jones, Marty Wilde and Petula Clark.
Features of the show[edit]
Matthew, who made the programme very much his own, turned it into something of a cult, one aspect being its very own slang: "SOTS" (acronym of the title); "avids" (listeners); "the Vocalist" (the show's producer, Roger Bowman). The two-hour programme is divided into one-hour "sides" (called Side 1 and Side 2) and the names of those listeners whose requests are to be played used to be announced at the start of each "side". Now the names of the artists requested are announced instead. There were also well-researched features, such as an "A to Z of the Beatles" (recordings of which were repeated during the shows from which he was absent, to maintain his presence in the programme), and initially "SOTS" T-shirts for listeners whose record requests were played. Later, "SOTS" baseball caps and "SOTS" sweat shirts were given to successful requesters, but as of 2009 this practice ceased. Although the playlist was almost entirely restricted to music recorded in the 1960s, space was found for a time for so-called "roots" records from the 1950s, while recordings from that or earlier decades that re-entered the sales charts in the 1960s were also eligible. Throughout the show's run, its theme tune has been the Shadows' "Foot Tapper" (1963).
Since July 2007 the show's producer has been Phil Swern, whom Matthew has nicknamed "The Collector".
It was during Swern's time on the show that the "Playing Hard To Get" feature was introduced. Listeners who want a copy of a record they have lost over the years can request a CD of that song and, if successful, are sent a special "SOTS" CD of the track after it has been played on the show.
Related shows[edit]
For several years Radio 2 carried a complementary show of music from the 1950s, Sounds of the '50s, which was presented by singer and entertainer Ronnie Hilton. In the 2000s there was also Sounds of the '70s, a title first used in 1970 for a daily late-night show of "progressive" music on Radio 1. Radio 2's version of Sounds of the '70s was presented by singer songwriter Steve Harley and latterly by Johnnie Walker. Sounds of the '80s was launched on Radio 2 on 5 October 2013, presented by Sara Cox.

There's news out of Pittsburgh that the Penguins have teamed with Pennsylvania-based Horizon Properties Group and Choice Hotels Int'l to "break ground on a 142-room Cambria Suites Hotel" next to the team's new Consol Energy Center. That story was reported by Mark Belko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and picked up by the Thursday edition of Sports Business Daily.
Officials "hope to have the hotel finished by next fall before the opening" of the NHL season. Penguins CEO Ken Sawyer said that the project is the "'first step' in the team's ambitious plan to transform 28 acres of land across the street into a mixed office, residential and retail development." However, Sawyer said that "no specific plans have been devised yet," according to the Post-Gazette story.
Under their agreement with the city, county and state, the Penguins "will have a 10-year option on the land, starting one year after the Consol Energy Center is completed." The team "must develop at least 10[%] of the land each year, or face the risk of losing all or a portion of the property."

Carolina Tiger Rescue, formerly the Carnivore Preservation Trust, is a 501(c)3 nonprofit wildlife sanctuary whose mission is saving and protecting wild cats in captivity and in the wild.
Science & Research
Carolina Tiger Rescue provides a rich resource for the non-invasive study of wildcats, binturongs, and kinkajous, offering unique possibilities to the study of conservation techiniques. The goal of zoos is to have a few animals of many species, which proves difficult for research, which needs larger populations of the same animal. Carolina Tiger Rescue specializes in wildcats and has a larger population of each species: all eating a natural diet in a low stress environment. To inquire about research opportunities, contact the Curator of Animals at (919) 542-4684.
All study at Carolina Tiger Rescue is non-invasive and has a minimal impact on the animals. Current projects include:
- Wildtrack
Wildtrack works with volunteers from SAS to study the pugmarks (pawprints) of the tigers. The research contributes to the development of a software used to identify individual animals in the field.
- Predator Recognition Study
Photographs of the animals at Carolina Tiger Rescue will be used in a study to explore the predator recognition abilities of human and non-human primates. These photographs will be shown to humans and lemurs to determine which predatory features are important in discriminating between predators and non-predators (for example, are the eyes of a tiger an important feature that help humans determine whether the animal is dangerous?). The study will be conducted at Duke University by Jessica Yorzinski (a graduate student from the University of California at Davis).

Storrs - Louisville, facing UConn for the first time since last season's national championship game in New Orleans, pared the lead to five points with the first half winding down Sunday afternoon at Gampel Pavilion.
Then the ball wound up in the hands of UConn's Breanna Stewart. Twice.
Stewart, who was Most Outstanding Player at the Final Four as the Huskies earned their eighth national title, picked up where she left off against the Cardinals.
She hit two straight 3-pointers to push UConn's lead back to nine with 4 minutes, 28 seconds to go in the half, one of them spinning toward the basket and off-balance, and finished with 24 points, 10 rebounds, six assists and two blocked shots to lift the top-ranked Huskies past No. 4 Louisville 81-64 before a sellout crowd of 10,167.
"She's a special player," Louisville coach Jeff Walz said. "There's no question she's the best player in the country, in my opinion. We had back-to-back situations where we allow her to pull up (behind) the free throw line and shoot it. She hits back-to-back 3s."
"(In the second half), she had the ball right in front of me one time," UConn coach Geno Auriemma said of Stewart, a 6-foot-4 sophomore forward. "I wanted us to use some clock. She jumped up and hit a 3."
Moriah Jefferson finished with a career-high 18 points and five assists for the Huskies (25-0, 12-0 American Athletic Conference), while Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis had 13 points and Stefanie Dolson and Bria Hartley 12 each.
Mosqueda-Lewis hit the floor hard after having a shot blocked with 18.7 seconds left in the first half and went straight to the training room. She returned to the game briefly in the second half, attempting and missing just one shot before returning to the bench. Auriemma said the injury didn't appear to be as severe as the one to Mosqueda-Lewis' right elbow earlier in the year which caused her to miss eight games, but said the more recent injury would be evaluated.
Louisville, led by 18 points and eight rebounds from Asia Taylor, is 23-2, 11-1 in the AAC, coming into the game against UConn with 16 straight victories, the longest winning streak in school history.
UConn topped Louisville in last year's national title game 93-60, getting 23 points and nine rebounds from Stewart.
Auriemma said Stewart is "not even the same person that was playing a year ago at this time," speaking of her ability to shake off a bad play and come back with a great one.
"She scores 'em and exactly when you need 'em," Auriemma said. "It's like a guy who hits two home runs in the eighth inning when you're up 12-3. She hits three-run homers when we're down two. That's what makes her different."
Stewart is leading the team with an average of 19.8 points per game, adding 8.0 rebounds per game, second only to Dolson, the Huskies' All-America center.
Because of her height, Stewart is also a tough matchup for teams inside, following a 3-pointer in the second half against Louisville with a lob from Jefferson over the defense that resulted in a layup. Once again, a Stewart scoring spree stretched the UConn lead from seven to 52-40 with 14:37 remaining.
"You can tell when a team is trying to swing the momentum their way," Stewart said, told that Auriemma labeled her as clutch. "I think you do take a lot of pride in that. As a basketball player, any player would want the ball in their hands in a big moment. … At that point, I wanted the ball."
Asked about the off-balance 3, a play which started with her back to the basket, Stewart said: "I was faking the handoff. She wasn't up on me on the handoff, so I knew that when I turned around I would have room."
The Huskies limited Louisville leading scorer Shoni Schimmel (17.9 points per game prior to Sunday) to nine points. The Cardinals were also playing without starting guard Bria Smith (9.4 ppg) for the seccond straight game due to a knee injury.
UConn plays at South Florida next Sunday. The Huskies meet Louisville again in the final game of the regular season March 3 in Louisville.

Something Tells Me Huckabee Won't Be Running on a "Tough on Crime" Platform
This from our blogging partner-in-crime, Robert Hayes:
I can't say this makes me happy--the circumstances simply won't allow that kind of a response. I will say, though, that I'm not, never have been, and can't imagine being a Mike Huckabee fan. Over the next few years, Republicans will need to find a strong voice to carry the fight against expansive government and the Democrat's current policy prescriptions. It would be nice if that person were a conservative with a track record of fiscal responsibility, good judgement, and the charisma and strength to lead the country when tough changes need to be made. Huckabee isn't that guy (although, to be fair, I'm not sure who that guy actually is right now), and it will be easier to find the right candidate if a guy like Huckabee isn't riding along, confusing the race.

Bless the Geeks and the Children
In particular, bless these Clash of the Titans lovin', mythology debatin' geeks and this mildly gnawed child.
And then play and old Carpenters song just to make the whole musical pun really come to life.
For the record, the remake of Clash of the Titans is certain to best the original in dramatic tension, violence, and special effects, but it will have none of the pure, shining fun of the original. Great movies don't revolve around seamless CGI and glowering protagonists. Story and sense of wonder are important, too, which fact is well illustrated by movies like The Princess Bride and Harvey. Movie makers these days don't have much of a grasp of that fact which is why Pixar really shines to me. Of course, Pixar also has groundbreakingly awesome animation…

Happy Thanksgiving
I have much for which I am thankful. I am thankful for my wife and family (and thankful that my wife was willing to wait so long).
I am thankful for a very short period of unemployment, and, of course, looking forward to proving that I deserve the job I was offered last week. I feel blessed to have found the job as quickly as I did--it seems to be the exception and not the rule right now.
I am thankful for friends--the blogging kind and otherwise--who have enriched my life over this last year.
There is a lot to worry about in a bigger sense, but this is the kind of day where I'm going to focus on the positives while desperately fighting off the tryptophan coma that's heading my way. Thanks, all, for the part that you've played in my life this year.

Looking for Suggestions
It's time for a Jimmy Stewart night at the Zomby household. I've admired the man since I was just a boy and my appreciation for him--both as a man and as an actor--has only grown as the years have passed.
So, here's the thing, which movies should be in the Jimmy Stewart night? Harvey is almost certainly on the list, but there are a few others that I love nearly as much. What are your favorite Jimmy Stewart movies?
By the by, the reason that this is coming up is because of this post by Shawn Macomber (and be sure to click through and watch the clip at the site he's referencing--wonderful stuff).

My Boycott of the Democrats Might Last a Little Longer Than These Guys Intended, but Still…
Okay, so me pushing a boycott of the Democrats is both self-serving and, maybe, a bit off-base, but since I support the goal I thought I would point it out:
One of the things that I find most odd about the Obama administration's unwillingness to follow-up on its promises in reference to gay rights is that, unlike many of the administration's higher priorities, gay rights might be an easier sell. Consider: allowing gays to serve openly in the military not only doesn't cost our government another penny, but it keeps competent, patriotic citizens in the position to serve their country. Compared to new programs that will cost hundreds of billions of dollars and could make it even harder for small businesses to create new jobs, ending don't ask don't tell should be simple.
Of course, this is one of those areas where I lose a lot of my more conservative friends (along with supporting gay marriage) and have heard the dreaded RINO title uttered. If there really were a purity test for Republicans, this might well be where I would be tossed out of the party. Luckily, that isn't the case; while their must be some standards as to what constitutes a Republican (and, even more, what constitutes a conservative), there has to be room for dissent and discussion. I trust that most people will agree with me that this is one such area.

It's the Power of Metal (and the Chipmunks)

Expensive Rights
For all the talk about making health care a "right" for all Americans (or, at least, everyone who happens to be sick, injured, diseased, or otherwise needy in a health care sort of way), it sure sounds potentially hazardous to fail to exercise your right in just the right way. If you take my meaning.
I know that there are readers of this blog (and friends of mine) who are big supporters of the Democrat's health care reform proposals, but the more I read about it the more disturbed I am. Good intentions don't make good policy; what the Democrats are trying to pass right now might be with the best intentions, but I'm terrified that it will hurt our already bleeding economy.
If it does manage to pass, though, I'll have an easy guide to who to vote against in the upcoming elections.

Loving School Choice
I'm a big supporter of vouchers, but, absent that, I wonder if "school choicing" (hate that term) will be the new norm over time? It's a big step in the right direction--that is, the best way to hold any institution accountable for its performance is to be able to withhold funding at the end-user level. If the school isn't doing the job, then move the dollars (along with the student) to a school that will do the job.
That's a big win for parents and students. If the schools took it in the right spirit, it could also be a big win for the best teachers, the best administrators, and the best ideas.
Anyway, here's this (which also highlights a problem with income inequity with open school enrollment throughout a district--a problem that I think is overblown):
DPS is a big, diverse district with all sorts of institutional problems. It has been working hard for a number of years now, though, to address those problems and I like a lot of the changes that they've made.

Might I Need to Trade In for a New Model?
Happily I sang out, " East bound and down, loaded up and truckin', we gonna do what they say can't be done. We got a long way to go and a short time to get there. I'm east bound, just watch ol' Bandit run."
Darling girl looked at me like I was a fool.
"Sing along," I said, smiling, "you know the words!"
"I have no idea what you're talking about," she answered. She then shuffled off and finished putting the groceries away.
My wife doesn't know "East Bound and Down?" My wife doesn't feel happy, warm thoughts when Smokey and the Bandit speeds, screaming chicken proudly displayed, through the nostalgic corner of her mind? Who the hell did I marry? I might have to trade in for a better model.
None of which changes the fact that Dede Scozzafava is doing what she can to provide help and safe harbor to a liberal Democrat in an important election for Republicans. The good sense of everyone who bucked the GOP party line and supported Hoffman, the independent (and conservative) challenger. I realize that lots of folks are upset with Newt Gingrich for pronouncing support for Scozzafava in this race, but he is utterly right about one part of this: this is a fight that should have taken place in a primary and not after the establishment simply pronounced Scozzafava as the candidate of choice. The person who wrote what I've quoted below should never have been the Republican candidate for the district.
At the end of the day, Scozzafava has shown that she has truly earned the title of Republican in Name Only and that voters were right to be suspicious of her. If she truly cared, as she has stated, about smaller government and government restraint then she would never have endorsed Bill Owens, the Democrat in the race. If she made the choice as a matter of conscience, then she is no true Republican; if she made it as a matter of pique, then she's more concerned about her own hurt feelings than she is about her supposed values. Either way, a horrible showing on her part and a loud message to the Republican party as we continue to head toward the bigger fights in 2010.
