What a huge disappointment! Sitting at a table for dinner - with an interesting and creative menu of $18 apps and $38 entrees - and having to deal with rude, loud and extremely inconsiderate beer drinkers surrounding the bar and all the dinner tables. O

Overall, not a great experience. I booked a reservation for 6 people, only to find a table set for 5. The table itself was only fit for 4 and when I explained the reservation was made for 6, they squeezed another place setting in - again, in a table fit

It was our first time in NYC and I have to say that the service in most restaurant is below the European service level. They're only focused on speed but not on the costumer. In this restaurant you get the best service, good quality food and a nice atmosp

My wife and I enjoyed a great dinner and service at Bistro Milano. The meatballls with mashed potatoes appetizer was delicious. The veal ravioli was excellent but just a tad salty. Still has a great time. House wines were also very good.

Despite what Reserve America site says, rigs over 40' are going to be tight on roads and in sites. We scratched the coach a couple of times. The tree trimming on the turns could really use some attention.
That said, the campground is worth the effort. Deep in a forest with lots of hiking and areas to explore. The dogs loved it. The patio, table and fire ring setup was great.
Water to fill a tank is available near camp ground entrance, but the camp host has to turn it on. No dump station in the campground, but one is nearby.
Do not follow Google Maps, there are turns you just can't make. Only turn onto Artist Road from Bishops Lodge Road/NM590. - bobcovey

Location is about as close as you can get to action in Santa Fe, which is all down by the Plaza and several miles from campground. Signage is marginal on way in - passed it first time and had to negotiate a U turn on busy road which was not easy - (Hint: when you pass it coming from South, continue to Walmart parking lot to turn around.) Also, when exiting, you have to make a right turn which is opposite of where you want to go if you are trying to get back to I-25 - again, drive to Walmart parking lot and turn around. Sites are level. - dfwcantor

The park is great - quiet, shady but still able to use our satellite connection. There are 2 problems which keep it from a 10. The driveway is not well marked so you really have to hunt for the entrance. The washers and dryers are in the bath room so there are no hanging racks, chairs or folding tables. - WNC Traveler

Gravel sites with tall weeds, goatheads, and red ants. Mostly full-timers. A few junk campers looked to be abandoned. Good location for visiting Santa Fe but they need to hire someone to landscape. Do not bring pets here because of conditions. - Bat Rider
Aug 2015 - $30.00
Park is conveniently located between Santa Fe, Bandolier and Los Alamos which are all great places to visit. The water and electricity all worked well. Spaces are wide and allow enough area to park your vehicle. There are no trees at all so your satellite TV will work. Check in staff was friendly and efficient.
The Cons: Other reviews have said it all. This is primarily a gravel lot, covered with weeds and goatheads with no ambiance at all. Weeds were up to the steps of the RV, as well as up to the bench of the picnic table. The internet, although included, was weak and inconsistent. Generally, although it would connect, nothing would load. Nothing. Thankfully, there is a McDonalds across the highway when we had business on the internet that needed to be taken care of. NO TV reception over your antenna. No cable available.
We would not stay here again. In fact, we would've left after the first night if we had not already paid for our full stay. Way overpriced for what services are provided. - themom3

This is a large gravel parking lot that's great for overnight or a few days stay to rest and visit the casinos. Easy on/of the highway and fuel is right near the entrance to the park. There are 2 large casinos within a couple of miles and plenty of shops and restaurants. We will stay here again when in the area. - dok

This is a kinda cool, funky, old-school RV park. I have no idea why posters before me seem to be complaining about the closeness of the sites. I assume they are referring to the FHU area which is a pretty typical one-right-next-to-the-other RV park set up. But if they think THESE sites are close together they must not have travelled much. We've been on the road for a year and a half and the spacing here is pretty much the same as most places and we've seen them a LOT closer. In fact, it's even better in a lot of cases because there is at least vegetation between most of the sites that affords SOME privacy. The upper part of the park is the electric & water only part. The roads winding through there are tight and very rough. The sites are either gravel or dirt and although most of them are long pull thrus, the level area is very small and then the front of the site drops off precipitously. I think most bigger rigs would have a real tough time there. However, the sites are big and have quite a bit of shade as well as a picnic table (most kind of rickety) and fire pit. The restroom is old but was clean and functional. The laundry has five washers plus the broken one (there is ALWAYS a broken one! Lol!) and eight dryers. The washers are a bit of a rip off at $3 per load but they are at least a decent size. The dryers are $1.25. Not sure how long they ran, I think about 40 minutes, but the towels and jeans needed a second go-round. The lighting is good but the room is very cramped with a table in the middle that is too low to use comfortably standing up to fold and which has cabinetry under so you can't pull a chair up to it either. Besides, the room's too small to sit at the table anyway. Office folks were friendly and helpful but the store has very little in it. Bring your supplies with you. Oh, and the wi-fi actually worked pretty well most of the time. Verizon had two bars. Price was good and I'd stay again. - Pdxjoanne

Great park. A very rural feel which we like. Spaces are close but wasn't a problem. Gravel roads and sites. First impressions that roads a little tight for our 32' trailer and tow vehicle but we had no problems at all. Would definitely stay here again, - donw78025

We stayed here for 5 nights. The sites are dirt, some need a little leveling, but not a big deal. I loved that there are trees between sites and it is very quiet. We stayed in #114 and the wifi was excellent. Friendly staff, movie nightly, pool, walking trail. Very quiet.
My only complaint would be the spaces between rigs was fairly tight.
You are 7 miles from Santa Fe, but there are two excellent restaurants close by. Also, the picnic tables need to be replaced. - Kwanyen

Park is now closed to RVs. We tried to stay and were told by the on-site property that the Rodeo is no longer able to accept RVs. Apparently the Rodeo does not have the proper licensing/permitting to operate an RV park. The manager was nice enough to let us park for the night with no services since it was getting dark. - my12by60

We moved to this location after reading about it. You get what you pay for. We got full hookups close to the center of town. It was no frills, but the price was right. The location was quiet and secure. There are enough channels to get some decent television with your antenna. The only complaint was the need for a long sewer hose. Luckily I had that. Other than that, this place was great for the price. - Ugly SAM

In town location, great price. Not busy. Sandy sites, a bit unlevel with bonus horse droppings in your site. Gated entry, safe area and very quiet at night. Would stay again instead of paying twice as much or more at the other campgrounds. 30 amp only, back-in only. - sysadmin

The access from I-25 is very easy. We were greeted by one of the owners at the office and checked in quickly. Our pull through was easy to get into, nearly level and all amenities were up to speed. We had a great view of the mountains to the west. The park is always one of the cleanest venues we visit and this visit was no different. The bath house is spacious, VERY clean, good water pressure and plenty of hot water. Grounds are free of trash and pet droppings. This a very important because no leashes are required for your dog! The trail around the property is is great shape. Beware however, the rabbits are everywhere and if your dog is a chaser a leash may be in order. Be sure and allow enough time to experience all the art displayed around the grounds and the restored machinery that helped make the campground possible. Finally, we love the fact that the wild flowers are allowed to grow and not mowed down. - DHK

This park is your typical desert terrain of rocks and dirt. A park employee threw a rock while mowing which shattered a large window in our 5th wheel. The park's response was sarcastic with no apology, no offer to help us get rig road worthy, no adjustment to our bill. Park sites are small. Big rigs had trouble negotiating turns. Some of park landscaping is in the way of putting out slides and awnings.Wifi was inoperable and we had no cell phone service. This park is not central to Santa Fe activities. It is about 30 minutes from most city attractions.I would not recommend park. - unifan

This was a very nice campground to go to during my stay at Santa Fe. I would definitely go here again. This campground's amenities included laundry (a little bit pricey, but not overly), clean bathrooms and showers, and clean dumpsters. The service was very nice, and the owners were quite understandable as well. The WiFi worked comfortably, but just using cell service will not work at all. Overall, it was a wonderful campground to stay at. - Kristenmoseley

Dust everywhere. My site was fine loose dirt with hard pan underneath. Some large and smaller rocks I had to try and clear out of my way to put up my tent, but I couldn't get all of them. I had to clear the bed in my tent twice in one day because of the dirt that would blow in. My dishes on the picnic table had to be wiped out after being on the table an hour because of blowing dirt. No grass. No mulch or pea gravel on my site to temper the dirt. The trees were so small they couldn't much shade and although it only got to 86 in the day, my tent was burning hot inside and no shade to help. - Kathryn jacobson

Made reservations via the phone, was quick and easy.
Upon arrival, the Trailer Ranch RV Park had upgraded us to a different site, great I thought, until I found out it was $5 more than my reservation. After getting that sorted, we were guided to our site. Assistance in backing into the site was excellent.
Walking around the Trailer Ranch RV Park, the front is for RV's and the back section for mobile homes. This is one of the cleanest mobile home parks I've ever seen!
Our site was level with trees at the back. We stayed only 1 night but given the opportunity I'd stay here again and spend some time exploring Santa Fe. - W0GER

We cannot recommend this park as a place to stay over one night. It is better suited to people wanting to hike trails. There were only 8 RV sites with hookups. Three were vacant. Two of these did not have acceptable working electric outlets. The one we found was not level and positioned one's sleepy head 20 feet from a busy noisy road. It is difficult to find with poor directions. No staff available after 4:30 pm. - W Davidson

Campground has about 10 spaces with lights and water. The night we stayed Saturday night, half of those spaces were empty but reserved. The people never showed up. We stayed in overflow spot at bottom of the hill. We could smell the cars coming down the hill brakes overheating. New Mexico reservation system is confusing to out of staters. There was a wedding reception at the pavilion. Tthey had a lot of fun well into the night. If we were in lights and water spot it would be OK, but othe wise, I think we'll pass.

There is a 14 day maximum stay. No attendant. First come first serve.
This is a large asphalt parking lot with 30/50 amp service. Standalone fresh water/ dump station. No site is level, but we did not have any problem leveling our motorhome. Bandelier National Monument requires you ride the shuttle and it stops at the RV park. There is a Smith's grocery within walking distance and Bradbury museum in Los Alamos is cool with regular activities going on.

There were few other campers at this lot behind the Visitor's Center. You pay at an automated kiosk, which was a little confusing. The price was right for electric only.

This is a county owned park behind the visitor center that offers all pull-through spaces. It has 50 amp power and free Internet but no other hookups. There is a dump station and shared water hookup in the park. Restrooms are clean and free shuttle buses are offered from the park to the national monument. Fees are paid at a vending machine that accepts credit and debit cards only. There is a very small pet area. A major supermarket is across the street and a propane filling station at the Mobil a block away. This is a good stopover for those wanting to visit Bandelier but needing an electric site, as none are available at the monument. - Traveling man

A look at the Altoona Curve by Mark Perlman Price
Big thanks to my broadcast partner Mark Perlman-Price for his preview on the Curve. Follow Mark on twitter: @mtriplep
Opponent Preview – Altoona Curve
Tonight the Sea Dogs open up a seven-game road trip in Altoona against the Curve, the Double-A affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates. It will mark the first time this season Portland plays a Western Division opponent, after opening the year 15-26 against the East through their first 41 games. Following the three games in Altoona, the 'Dogs head to Harrisburg to take on the Senators, the affiliate of the Washington Nationals.
Altoona comes into the series as one of the hottest teams in the Eastern League, their eight-game win streak was finally snapped last night at Binghamton. Over the win streak, the Curve outscored their opponents 42-19. The streak was the third longest in franchise history (the franchise record was 10 in 2009). The Curve are 13-5 in May, second only behind Akron (14-3) for best record this month.
How have they done it? Mainly through pitching. Altoona allowed two runs or less in six of eight games during the streak.
With the Altoona bullpen performing so well, it's no surprise that Altoona is 17-1 when leading after five innings.
The Curve feature two players who are ranked among the Top 10 prospects in the Pirates' organization. Outfielder Austin Meadows was the ninth overall pick in the 2013 Draft and was selected using the pick the Pirates were given as compensation after they failed to sign Mark Appel with the 8th pick in the 2012 Draft.
Meadows is ranked as the #2 prospect in the Pirates' system and the #22 overall in all of Minor League Baseball by Baseball America, who also rate him as the Best Athlete in the system.
Last year Meadows was a Florida State League mid and postseason All-Star and led the league in hits with 156 as a member of the High-A Bradenton Marauders, setting a new franchise record. Meadows also led the league in total bases (207), finished third in AVG (.307) and runs scored (72), and was fifth in OBP (.357). Meadows also set a club record for multi-hit games in a season with 46, and became the fifth player in Marauders history to record 5+ hits in a game when he went 5-for-6 at Brevard County.
In the very same draft, the Pirates also selected Reese McGuire five picks later at #14 overall. Baseball America ranks him as the #6 prospect in the Pirates' organization and Best Defensive Catcher, claiming he's "ready to play in the major leagues right now from a defensive standpoint."
The Curve play at one of the more unique ballparks in the Eastern League, People's Natural Gas Field. The ballpark is adjacent to Lakemont Park – an amusement park in Altoona – and the "Skyliner" roller-coaster stands high just beyond the right field wall of PNG Field.
The Curve are named after a historic 2,375 foot horseshoe curve in the railroad tracks that wind through the Allegheny Mountains. It proved to be an integral part of the U.S. supply chain during World War II and was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1966.
Last year, the Curve retired their longtime beloved mascot Steamer with a farewell tour around the Eastern League. This year they welcomed a brand new mascot named Loco the Golden Locatomi. According to legend, the Golden Locatomi were creatures native to the Allegheny Mountains with golden-yellow fur who helped boost morale and create a fun, high-energy atmosphere for railroad workers building the Horseshoe Curve in Altoona.

Game Recap: 'Dogs fall 6-2
The Hartford Yard Goats (7-3) used strong pitching to take game three of their series with the Sea Dogs (4-6), winning by a final score of 6-2 at Hadlock Field.
For the second straight game, the Yard Goats starting pitcher worked seven innings. Harrison Musgrave (W, 1-0) allowed just 2 runs on 3 hits while walking 1 and striking out 2.
Hartford took the early lead on a bases loaded walk by Raimel Tapia in the 2nd inning off from Ty Buttrey (L, 0-2). The Yard Goats added another run in the 4th, and later Pat Valaika made it a 3-0 lead with a solo home run in the 5th over the Maine Monster. Buttrey allowed 3 earned runs on 4 hits in 5.1 innings, walking 2 and striking out 5.
Tzui-Wei Lin (1-4, RBI) drove in the first Sea Dogs run in the 6th inning on a fielder's choice and Jose Vinicio (0-3, RBI) followed on an RBI groundout to cut the deficit to 3-2. Hartford padded their lead in the 8th inning when Zach Osborne hit an RBI single off of Williams Jerez (2.2 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 2 SO), and scored two more times in the 9th off of Rob Wort (1.0 IP, 3 H, 2 ER) to insure the victory.
The teams conclude their four-game series tomorrow afternoon at Hadlock Field, first pitch is scheduled for 1:00 PM. RHP Aaron Wilkerson (1-0, 0.84) makes his 2016 home debut for Portland against LHP Kyle Freeland (1-1, 2.45) for Hartford.

Previewing the opponent
UPCOMING OPPONENT PREVIEW: HARTFORD YARD GOATS by Mark Perlman Price
When the Sea Dogs open their home season this Thursday, it won't just be their first game at Hadlock Field in 2016, it'll also be their first ever game against the Hartford Yard Goats.
Formerly the New Britain Rock Cats, the Yard Goats are still the Double-A affiliate of the Colorado Rockies, but are moving into a brand new stadium in Connecticut's capital for 2016. The only problem is that the new stadium, Dunkin' Donuts Park, is yet to be completed, which will force the Yard Goats to play the first 52 games in their franchise's history on the road.
Outside of the new digs and hoopla around the new team name, the Yard Goats somewhat surprisingly carry a roster with some serious Rockies prospects. There were some doubts among baseball writers on whether the Rockies would be reluctant to assign some of their higher prospects to Hartford as a result of their formidable road schedule to begin the year, but to the organization's credit, they assigned players where they were appropriately fitted for 2016.
David Dahl, OF
The #2 prospect in the Rockies system according to Baseball America, Dahl made headlines during the 2015 season for reasons he had not hoped for. Dahl was involved in a serious on-field collision on May 28th at New Britain Stadium and suffered a Grade 4 laceration of his spleen (Grade 5 is the worst). Dahl was given the choice of letting the spleen heal and risking further injury to it in the future, or having a splenectomy to remove the spleen, which would allow him to heal quicker but could result in health complications throughout his life. He chose the latter.
Amazingly, Dahl was back on the field by July 6th playing rehab games in Short-Season Boise before returning to New Britain on July 17th for the remainder of the season and hitting .292 over that span.
Last year in a game at Hadlock Field on May 8th, Dahl set a career-high with 3 stolen bases. Among all Rockies farmhands, Baseball America considers Dahl the Best Hitter for Average, Best Athlete, and Best Defensive Outfielder. In four minor league seasons, Dahl has hit .309/.345/.497 with 29 HR and 144 RBI in 275 G, with 84 2B, 22 3B, and 57 SB.
Fun Fact: Dahl was the 10th overall pick in the 2012 Draft. Other notable players selected in the 1st round in 2012: Carlos Correa (1st), Byron Buxton (2nd), Addison Russell (11th), Gavin Cecchini (12th), Lucas Giolito (16th), Michael Wacha (19th), Marcos Stroman (22nd), Deven Marrero (24th), and Brian Johnson (31st).
Ryan McMahon
A 2nd round pick in the 2013 Draft, Ryan McMahon is rated by Baseball America as the #5 prospect in the Rockies system and was a non-roster invitee to Rockies spring training this season. A two-sport star in high school, McMahon signed with the Rockies for $1,327,600 over accepting a football scholarship at USC. He was a mid and postseason All-Star in the South Atlantic League in 2014 and again in the California League in 2015, when he led the league with 43 doubles. In his minor league career, he's hit .297/372/.524 with 47 HR and 229 RBI in 317 games.
Fun Fact: McMahon attended Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, California, alma mater to several other professional athletes including: Matt Barkley (former USC QB), Colt Brennan (former NFL QB), Matt Leinart (2004 Heisman Trophy winner at USC and NFL QB), Danny Espinosa (Washington Nationals 2nd baseman), Mike Hessman (all-time Minor League Baseball home run king), Bobby Meachem (former Trenton Thunder manager), Sergio Santos (Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher), and Matt Treanor (former LA Dodgers catcher).
Raimel Tapia
Despite being listed as just 6-foot-2, 160 pounds, Tapia has been a fixture among Rockies prospects for the past three seasons, being ranked by Baseball America as the Rockies' #10 prospect in 2014, 2015, and 2016. The 22-year-old Dominican started in right field for the World Team in the 2015 Futures Game and went 2-for-3, and has been a postseason All-Star and MiLB.com Organization All-Star in each of the past three seasons, as well as Pioneer League MVP in 2013. He was signed as an international free agent at the age of 16 for $175,000 in 2010, and made his US debut at age 19 in 2013 after spending two seasons in the Dominican Summer League. In three seasons since his US debut, Tapia has hit .314/.363/.443 with 101 2B, 20 3B, 29 HR, 260 RBI, and 97 SB in 449 career games.
Fun Fact: In August 2013, Tapia set a club-record 29-game hitting streak for rookie-level Grand Junction, falling just three games short of the Pioneer League record of 32 set back in 2006 by Chris Valaika, whose brother Pat is a teammate of Tapia's on the Yard Goats.
AND ABOUT THAT NAME…A Yard Goat comes from old railroad slang as a term for an engine that switches a train to get it ready for another locomotive. Hartford selected the name after holding a "Name the Team" contest that drew close to 6,000 submissions. Team officials picked Yard Goats over Hedgehogs, Praying Mantis, River Hogs, and Whirlybirds.
Portland at Trenton on Tuesday
RHP Aaron Wilkerson is coming off a career-high 11 K's on Opening Night (April 7) at Reading…Tonight, Wilkerson makes his first career start against the Trenton Thunder. I'll be with you all night starting at 6:40 PM on 95.9/95.5 and the tunein app. Tonight's game is available on MILB.TV.

Paul Bettany and Dennis Quaid discuss their new thriller 'Legion'
The more interviews I do in a year, the more I hear from other reporters about stars who are supposedly difficult on-camera, tough to get anything out of. And on occasion, that's true. I think a lot of it is where you talk, the mood they're in, who was in the room before you, and any number of other factors.
For example, at the "Legion" junket, some jackass was walking into the rooms dressed in a cheesy angel robe with a tinsel halo on his head, screeching at the actors in a weird falsetto, absolutely poisoning the mood. I saw the same thing at the "Jennifer's Body" press day in Toronto, where some guy threw a glass of water on himself while talking to Megan Fox, then tried to take his shirt off. These idiots don't realize that someone else who has a job to do has to walk in there after them and try to have a real conversation, and that's already difficult when you've got six minutes total.
When I was on the set of "Inkheart," Paul Bettany sat with us during lunch, and while he was soft-spoken and somewhat quiet, I didn't think it was a problem. It just seemed like he was busy with his own process, and we were a distraction. That's fair when you're on a set... different actors need different things from their environment, and journalists have to respect that when they're the ones who are intruding on the work. But at a junket, the actor's whole job is to speak about their work all day, and try to convey some sort of excitement, and in this environment, I thought Bettany was actually really easy to talk to, a whole different level of energy evident from the moment we sat down.
I'll be honest... my reviews for "Legion" and "Creation" aren't going to be the most enthusiastic you've ever read from me, but I like Bettany's work in general, and I was pleased to sit down with him for this loose and relaxed, if brief, chat a couple of weekends ago:
You can see a larger version of that video here, and you can see a larger version of the following Dennis Quaid conversation at this link.
Quaid's a guy I've liked for a long time, and although he's not really getting the same sort of leading man roles he once did, I still think he's got a shaggy charisma that just doesn't quit. He seemed like it had been a long day by the time I sat down with him, but I still enjoyed the talk, and it's definitely worth a look:
"Legion," starring both Bettany and Quaid, opens this Friday in theaters, and then you can see Bettany in "Creation" in limited release next week. I'll have reviews for both films on their respective opening days.

Broadcast 6.30pm on 07/04/2004
GEORGE NEGUS: Home care for the elderly is just one of those pressing health issues that, as a society, we need to address as we contemplate the future. There are many others, including the immense pressures on the whole health system generally and, indeed, on doctors themselves. So, on this World Health Day, we reckoned that an overview on the Australian health system from the president of the AMA, Dr Bill Glasson, wouldn't go astray. Bill, nice to see you.
DR BILL GLASSON, PRESIDENT, AUSTRALIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION: George, nice to see you. GEORGE NEGUS: Before we go any further, what's your position on the whole aging population thing? DR BILL GLASSON: It's a very important issue, George obviously, because of the aging population and the consequences of that as far as how we're going to deliver the services that people require, and I suppose how we, as a society, need to adapt to make sure that we be inclusive of their needs. I think the important thing is to give people choice, choice to stay at home, as... keeps reiterated, and have systems that support families because, in the end, we'd all like to keep our mums and dads home, but we can only do it with support. GEORGE NEGUS: Why is health overall, Bill, a shambles? DR BILL GLASSON: Look, it's really fragmented, that's the trouble, George. It's fragmented between, you know, the Federal Government having certain responsibilities, State Government having certain responsibilities, and down to, sort of, local communities. GEORGE NEGUS: But that's dopey, isn't it, surely? I mean, it's Australians who get sick, so why haven't we got a coordinated, consolidated approach to the health of our people? DR BILL GLASSON: In fact, this is what we're asking for. We're saying this continuous blame-shifting, cost-shifting exercise that goes on between Commonwealth and State just isn't... GEORGE NEGUS: You must get really, really sick of it. DR BILL GLASSON: It drives us crazy. And it drives everybody out there crazy as well. They're sick of hearing that debate. They want it sorted out because, at the end of the day, it's all our health. Structurally, from the point of view of the average Australian and the health they have, we've probably got good figures when compared to the rest of the world. But we've really got to take stock of where we are at the moment, how we're funding the system, and how we need to change the system, I suppose, to make sure that we get flexibility, particularly in aged care, because I think that we have to move from the sort of hospital model into a completely different.... GEORGE NEGUS: A care model? DR BILL GLASSON: A care model. It's a multi-disciplinary sort of team that needs to be involved, with doctors, nurses, physios, dieticians, etc, working as a team, working across a whole range of residential aged care facilities where people can move from one level to another. That might be from a home into a higher level of care, where you've got what I talked about hospital in the home, or hospital in residential aged care facilities, where they get the care at the point where they live. GEORGE NEGUS: But how can we have a coordinated approach? DR BILL GLASSON: The trouble is because politics gets involved in the truth. GEORGE NEGUS: Funny thing about that. DR BILL GLASSON: It's funny, isn't it? In reality, who gets hurt? It's the patients and it's the people who actually require the treatment. I've said to both sides coming to this election... I'll make it very clear that aged care will be one of the key indicators if we look at both sides. And we've just got to get down and get some really serious policies around trying to address this over the next two or three decades. GEORGE NEGUS: What chance...? Let me put on my soothsayer's, you know, hat. What chance would there ever be of getting Liberal, Labor, State, Federal people responsible for health to sit down and say, "This is a problem that you can't kick around like a political football"? DR BILL GLASSON: I think it requires leadership. It requires strong leadership on behalf of particularly at the Federal level, but across the States as well... GEORGE NEGUS: You're saying we haven't got it? DR BILL GLASSON: Well, I think it's been... I mean, we've probably had it in part, but I don't think it's been directed enough to take the issue by the throat, shake it and say, "Let's get ourselves in this room here, let's sort this out, decide what we need for the next 20 years and come out with a united view on this." GEORGE NEGUS: Yeah, it's a bit depressing. Maybe I'm being cynical as a journalist in this situation, but we've got a political head-kicker as a Minister for Health and a doctor as a Minister for Education. DR BILL GLASSON: Yeah. GEORGE NEGUS: That's cockeyed. DR BILL GLASSON: Yeah, I mean, I must say from the politician's point of view, and someone like Tony Abbott, who I think has got the, uh...has got the get-up-and-go and the will to actually get an issue like this and the likes of Julia Gillard as well and actually... GEORGE NEGUS: We're not looking too bad. We've got a couple of political hardheads. DR BILL GLASSON: We have. And I think that's very good for health across the board to have these two standing there that are both fairly pragmatic, that can look at an issue like this and say, "Listen, it's nonsense to be playing around with it. Let's actually put a plan in place that we can both agree upon because at the end of the day..." As you say, "Forget the views of the experts together, decide how we should progress this." Both parties should have very little different in the way of policies. How you fund it might be different, but we've got opportunities now... GEORGE NEGUS: A matter of degree rather than approach? DR BILL GLASSON: Exactly, George. GEORGE NEGUS: Is this shambles, as we've described it... Or as you've said, we live in an egalitarian society, but the health system is not egalitarian. Is that seriously driving people, men and women, away from your profession? DR BILL GLASSON: Absolutely. I think that, you know... We're going through a huge workforce crisis at the moment, as you know, and I think there's a view amongst a lot of our senior colleagues, who've, you know, committed years and years to the profession, that they really have had enough. They've really had enough of interference, George, more than anything. And the one thing I say to the politicians, "Please get out of trying to tell doctors how to be doctors. Let them be doctors. You're there to fund the system, not to tell them how to treat patients. The doctor will solve 90 per cent of their problems. You don't have to force them to bulk-bill, or to fill out this form to provide this level of care. The doctors by nature that's why you do medicine will actually solve their problem. All you have to do is fund the Medicare system, or however you're going to fund it, appropriately to make sure the patients get an appropriate rebate." GEORGE NEGUS: We've been fiddling with Medicare. I mean, we've got Medicare Plus. What's the future of Medicare? DR BILL GLASSON: We have to decide, "Do we want a universal system or not?" And I believe in a universal system to the level so that everybody has equal access to medical services in this country, whether public or private. GEORGE NEGUS: And you're quite convinced that's not the case at the moment? Definitely not the case? DR BILL GLASSON: Well, I think over the last... Because of the underfunding over the last decade, George, what it's been costing to provide the service from the doctors' point of view and the amount that's been funded into Medicare, or the Medicare rebates, has reached such a differential that the doctors are saying, "We cannot accept the Medicare rebate as full amount because we can't provide the service the patients require." Patients want time. They don't want six-minute medicine. They want to sit down with their doctor for 20 minutes or more, talk about the issues and the whole health, not just their sore throat or whatever, because often you present with a symptom and the real issue is something else that you haven't brought up. If you have time to develop a relationship with your patient, time to talk about the issue, it saves money in the long term because patients don't have to keep coming back, and also, you can start talking about preventative health. This should be about wellness as well as about sickness. And we seem to concentrate on the sickness side of the equation. GEORGE NEGUS: This is an election year. Do you think that health will be the issue that it should be in this election year? DR BILL GLASSON: Absolutely, George. As president of the AMA, I would want to reassure every Australian that I will make health the number one issue, unless they can find something in the international arena that's going to distract us. Health will be the biggest one, with education not far behind. But health and education are so tied together... GEORGE NEGUS: They are the universal truths. DR BILL GLASSON: They are the universal truths. And we've got to make sure we get both systems right because one feeds off the other. The other thing I'd like to say to politicians, George, is that I'd like them to think a little bit broader and laterally and not just keep plugging the holes. In other words, think about the social policy for Australia across the board. This vicious cycle of unemployment, under-education, er... leading to sort of low self-esteem, finally, to sort of social and family breakdown, in increased drug abuse. GEORGE NEGUS: We get those things right, the health problems will diminish. DR BILL GLASSON: Exactly, it will. GEORGE NEGUS: Better stop. DR BILL GLASSON: George, thanks for that. GEORGE NEGUS: Nice talking to you. All the best in this big year. DR BILL GLASSON: Thanks very much, George.

Happy 12th day of Christmas tomorrow! :)
Does anyone here do anything special for the 12 days of Christmas? I noticed that this year, quite a few of my Facebook friends did gifts each day. I know that in other cultures, there is a big festival tomorrow. I'd love to hear about it! :)
My second youngest DD is very sad because Christmas is "almost over" and she knows that after Epiphany, our tree and decorations come down.

Every drop of iodine kicks toxic chemicals out of our body, and it is far too easy to overload the liver & kidneys such that bloat, pimples, headaches etc can result. We don't want anyone losing days at work from taking too much iodine too soon resulting in toxin overload. We have been toxifying our bodies for decades, so a few more months spent detoxing is not a problem.

TUCSON, Ariz., April 11, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is soliciting older Americans with asthma, metabolic syndrome, hypertension, and other maladies to volunteer for experiments. The purpose of the experiments is not to study a new treatment that might make people well. The purpose is to harm people, states the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS).
That is not what volunteers are told. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) include: "How does my participation help protect my health and the health of the planet?"
The answer given to potential volunteers is: "Thanks to people like you who have participated in studies at the Human Studies Facility, the EPA has set air pollutant regulations that help improve the health of millions of individuals every year. Your participation will help make the world a better and healthier place for us all."
The answer given to Congress about much smaller concentrations of pollutants than in the air experimental subjects will breathe was this: Any amount of the pollutants could kill people within hours. And if the toxic mixture doesn't kill you, it could give you cancer years later.
The EPA is trying to justify its draconian regulations on small particulate matter ("PM2.5")—dust—that are imposing huge costs on industries like agriculture, trucking, mining, and power generation. These costs kill American jobs and raise the cost of everything that people need.
EPA strategy is apparently to expose subjects to concentrated diesel exhaust and other pollutants, known and unknown, and watch for someone to have a heart attack, severe asthma attack, or other untoward event.
Then, EPA will calculate the "risk" of how many people might suffer such an event when exposed to a much lower concentration, multiply by the population of the U.S., and claim to "save" millions of lives.
Rep. Paul Broun (R-Ga.), chairman of the Oversight Committee of the Committee of Science, Space, and Technology, criticized the EPA for experimenting on human subjects without adequate informed consent.
"The problem is much worse than that," states AAPS executive director Jane Orient, M.D. "Harm is not just an unfortunate side effect—it is the intended effect of the experiments."
"Hurting human beings to 'protect the health of the planet' is outrageous and unethical. Experiments known to be harmful are never justified."
The EPA is in a dilemma, Orient points out. "Either it has to tell its subjects that it is trying to cause them serious harm, even death, or it has to admit that it lied to Congress about the effects of dust."
"Lying to Congress to justify a power grab is also outrageous and unethical."
The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) is a national organization representing physicians in all specialties, founded in 1943 to preserve private medicine and the patient-physician relationship.

Alchemist Theatre's 'King Lear' reigns as family drama
Early in Friday's opening-night performance of Alchemist Theatre's "King Lear," Bo Johnson's aged king called for the map demonstrating his intended division of Britain among his three daughters. Lear's attendants dutifully unfurled it — with the bottom at the top and the top at the bottom. When they tried to hang the map up, it kept falling down.
Director Leda Hoffmann confirmed during intermission that this sequence wasn't planned. But such a topsy-turvy world aptly illustrates the disorder that descends on Britain once the hot-tempered Lear banishes his beloved Cordelia, counting on his remaining two daughters to keep him and Britain safe. »Read Full Article

The first round of the 2012 MLB Draft is this Monday, June 4. It should be an interesting one, as there is no consensus No. 1 overall pick like there has been in years past.
Three players have a legitimate shot at going first overall—Florida catcher Mike Zunino, Stanford right-hander Mark Appel and Georgia high school outfielder Byron Buxton.
Beyond those three, the draft as deep as any in recent years on high-ceiling high school arms. It's incredibly thin on college bats and left-handed pitching.
Predicting who falls where is a tricky business. Here a breakdown of who I feel are the top 20 prospects of the 2012 MLB draft class.

Karen Finney: Bachmann should be removed from the House Intelligence Committee, as the others who signed should be removed from their committees; all illustrated a willingness to abuse their positions and access in a manner that jeopardizes America's security.
"Drowning" Government: Be Careful What You Wish For
Steven Mikulan: Where do the Norquists and the Pauls go, once they've drowned government and sold the bathtub for copper scrap? Probably to very lucrative sinecures on foundation boards.
Politics, Reality Show Style
Tina Dupuy: For the last two and a half years politics has been trash television. We've had right-wing stars staying relevant through mudslinging and shamelessness. The tea party wouldn't be satisfied with just one Snooki. We've had fake stings by phony pimps and ideology-driven hoaxes. Astroturf is being sold as organic outrage.
Anthony Weiner Hands Republicans a Twofer
Joseph Palermo: The credibility of Anthony Weiner's loud liberal voice in the House of Representatives, who recently showed the temerity to take on Justice Clarence Thomas for his conflict of interest in Citizens United, is now toast
If Lobbyists Hate It
Tina Dupuy: We cannot hold our lawmakers accountable without transparency. And if we can't hold them accountable – they're not working for us. Actually we'll never know who they work for.
The Death of Public Service
Steve Hochstadt: Republican governors across the country argue that teachers and police and all the other employees of local and state governments make much too much money.
Time to Say Goodbye to Bernard Parks
Anthony Samad: Time to say, "Forescee can do better than this." Time to say "Farewell Parks." Enough is enough.
MLK's Fight For Unions Still Essential
Michael Honey: In light of the clash of wills in Wisconsin, we should remember the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. One of King's slogans that we rarely hear is this one: "all labor has dignity."
The Shameful Attack on Public Employees
Robert Reich: Public servants are convenient scapegoats. Republicans would rather deflect attention from corporate executive pay that continues to rise as corporate profits soar, even as corporations refuse to hire more workers.
These Foliticians Are America's Problem
David Love: To be sure, the BP accident is an environmental threat that speaks to the deadly serious pitfalls of off-shore drilling. But it is also a crisis of bad political intentions, from the right-wing lobbyists such as FreedomWorks that worked with BP to push for more oil drilling, to the corporate lackeys at the 2008 GOP convention who shouted "drill baby dril." Let's not forget former Vice President Dick Cheney, who championed deregulation of the oil industry with his energy task force, and whose companyHalliburton figures prominently in the oil rig disaster.
David Swanson: I resolve never to expect elections alone to change anything, and to understand that my activist work begins the day after an election.
Senators, Thanks For Reminding Us Why We Don't Like You
If Washington is the place where "good ideas go to die," as candidate Obama liked to say, then the Senate is the slaughterhouse. This white millionaires' club where the biggest egos on Earth tell us how goddamn important they are has just screwed the middle class in this country — a middle class that is reeling after years of being beaten down by these Senators' masters in private industry.
