Welcome to the Forum for InventorSpot.com, the most popular invention related website in the world. Read our welcome message.
bottleslingguy wrote:So, just because you show up makes you more serious than others who couldn't make the trip for one reason or another? I don't buy it. If anything, those who chose NOT to exploit their inventions on the show show a bit more seriousness by not risking the credibility of their idea by trying to get it on a reality tv show. If people don't learn that by the end of this season then they (FreeMantleMedia) must be getting down to the stock of inventors they are really looking for, namely the real kooks and whackos who are just looking to be humiliated and not necessarily interested in having their inventions speak for themselves.
Just because someone doesn't seem "serious" about their invention by not auditioning for the show doesn't automatically make it a bad product.
Instead of a class action lawsuit (which I believe hasn't got a leg to stand on anyway) we should start a campaign to stop people from auditioning and come here instead. Sort of like Howard Stern's campaign to discredit AIdol... Hey Michy, there's your headline!
This place is free, practical, a good resource of information, not trying to pull the wool over anbody's eyes (on the contrary we're trying to remove any veils or clouds), not interested in selfish motives, prettymuch open and transparent, and it's popularity is increasing daily. That's much more than I can say for the show and as far as seriousness goes, I think this place is as serious as a heartattack give or take a few silly comments here or there (ok so it's more here than there but it's all good)

The theater at Skyline College is located on the south side of the campus in Building One. Situated in one of the original "Legacy buildings", the theater has been an integral part of the campus since its inception in 1969 and has recently received a technical upgrade that places it well within the parameters of what is considered industry standard for a live performance venue.
With a digital audio network, top tier lighting and sound consoles, and a completely rebuilt lighting system from networked dimmer racks to automated luminaires, the theater at Skyline College has the most to offer students who are interested in technical production courses as well as anyone seeking an affordable rental space for their live performance.

I am not a Native American and actually not a Liberal either. However, I am proud for your people to have survived and endured and are working very hard to educate others, and re-discover heritage and traditions. I do question some of the posters/cards above in that the Spanish came to the 'New World" first and spread disease which resulted in (to the best of my understanding) huge population losses for Native American communities but there is no mention of this. Also, why the association/kinship that I gather from above, with Illegal aliens from Mexico who happen to have Central American Indian blood? Their ancestors were not at all like Native American Tribes who were (again to the best of my understanding) wonderful stewards of flora and fauna and the first real conservationists and who didn't lust for blood and practice the savage rituals that the Central American Indians did? Just some thoughts from White guy descended from Eastern Europeans who came in the late 1800's.
The Meme-ing of Thanksgiving
ICTMN Staff
Can any holiday or event happen these days without people sharing a bunch of snarky or poignant images on Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr?
Nope—and that's a good thing. It is Thanksgiving Day, and Thanksgiving is a holiday that celebrates an idealized version of history—it's history as people wish it had happened.
Whatever your reaction to Thanksgiving -- whether it's outrage or bemused acceptance -- rest assured you are not alone. Someone else out there feels the way you do, and they've expressed their feelings in jpeg form.
Here are some Thanksgiving-themed images that crossed the ICTMN radar:

I would think maybe some of anonymous statements regarding Spanish could be true. One thing non-Indians should remember it is our story. The winners of the war tell their story. It will never change. Mother earth is our traditional church. Holy wars have been on many years before we came. Annoys you can think about these things.

What is an MRI scan?
An MRI scan is a special technique that uses magnets and radio waves to produce both two and three dimensional pictures of the inside of your body.
MRI can help diagnose and monitor many different medical conditions. It's suitable for every part of the body, including bones, soft tissues (such as blood vessels, ligaments and muscles) and the brain. (Image below courtesy of Siemens AG).
What does a private MRI scan involve?
If you're having an MRI scan you'll need to wear loose clothing without zips or metallic parts and to remove any jewellery, hearing aids, watches or glasses. You will also be asked to leave behind coins, keys and credit cards. The radiographer will help position you on the special table that slides into the scanner. You will be able to talk to him/her during the scan.
You will hear some noise - this is completely normal and is the sound of the MRI scan machine taking the images. You will be provided with earplugs or headphones and often you can choose to listen to music if you wish. During the private MRI scan, you should breathe quietly and normally and keep very still as any movement will blur the images.
This whole procedure will usually be repeated several times, and the entire examination generally takes around 30 minutes (but can last up to an hour depending on the examination.
Why choose a private MRI scan?
MRI scans can be used for a variety of purposes
Can you get an MRI scan on the NHS?
The NHS waiting times can vary from weeks to months; so people can opt for a private MRI scan. If you have private medical insurance your MRI scan may be covered – check your policy or contact your insurer for confirmation.
Are there any risks associated with private MRI scans?
MRI scans are not suitable for everybody. For example, the magnetic field from the scan affects metals such as iron, nickel and steel. As a precaution, MRI scans are not usually done on women who are less than 12 weeks pregnant. When you arrive at the hospital, you may be asked some questions – about your health, previous operations, allergies and any medicines you are taking. This helps to ensure that it is safe for you to have an MRI scan.
Otherwise, MRI scans are considered very safe with no known side effects from exposure to magnetic or radio waves. Depending on the type of scan some patients may require the injection of a special dye (contrast medium); reactions to this dye are very rare and can usually be treated immediately.
What does an MRI scan cost?
Costs will depend on your specific requirements. Contact us today to find out more.
Other types of diagnostic scans
At Spire Healthcare, we offer a wide range of diagnostic scans in addition to private MRI scans to help you get to the root of the problem as quickly as possible. Find out more about X-Rays, CT scans, mammography and ultrasound.

I'm curious about getting an idea from your experiences concerning what age you felt most people around you began judging you for breastfeeding your baby?
Obviously how long you nurse for is a personal choice. Please refrain from discussion on how long you think someone should breastfeed and keep discussion centered on when you felt excessive judgement from those around you.
I'd also like to hear about any particularly interesting stories in which people have faced problems from this sort of judgement.

August 21, 2013 —
Kevin McManus of McManus and Associates Land Development Services presented a conceptual master plan for a new Grossinger Country Resort at the Town of Liberty board meeting on August 19.
Representing Louis Cappelli's Sullivan Resorts, which owns 480 acres in the Town of Liberty, as well as 102 acres in the Village, McManus laid out plans to demolish all the former Grossinger buildings and replace them with a convention center complete with a 300-room luxury hotel, townhouses, a spa and even, possibly, an assisted living facility.
The project would preserve Grossinger Lake and the current Big G championship golf course and add a state-of-the-art clubhouse. A restaurant, nightclub, recreational areas, supportive retail shops, and possibly a casino would also be part of the project.
The old Grossinger resort is currently zoned R1, which permits single-family and two-family homes, but does not permit the proposed hotel and several project components.
"We realize the R1 doesn't permit this," said McManus. "We observed that the zoning code includes the ability of the town to assign an overlay district that would be known as a PUD for this property… which does permit a lot of these alternative uses I've talked about.… It does not include the possibility of a hotel or a casino."
McManus said the casino is not going to drive the project, but Sullivan Resorts would like to see if the town would consider the possibility of allowing the overlay to include those two additional uses. "We think we've presented a plan that provides a significant amount of diversity and preserves a significant amount of open space."
While the feedback from the board was mostly positive, questions were raised both by board members and the public about Louis Cappelli's track record at the Concord Hotel site.
McManus acknowledged that "we're having a very steep hill to climb" and said the project would start with a schedule to demolish the existing buildings to "show our intention to proceed and make an actual phase-in of the demo part of the approval process."
Town Supervisor Charlie Barbuti expressed his optimism. "I would certainly like to see it happen. We're already in the process of changing the PUD to specifically permit gaming because right now it specifically excludes it."
"You're off to good start," said Lynn Dowe, chairman of the town's planning board. "The planning board does like to see the master plan first, instead of adding piece by piece… Most of the planning board is here tonight and we're all excited to see this project come… We will definitely work with you in any way we can to make this happen for the Town of Liberty."
Veteran housing?
Another presentation was made by Joy Cole-Johnson, founder and CEO of the North Eastern Expansion Development Corporation (NEED.)
The project would provide supportive housing for homeless veterans at the site of the Paramount Hotel in Parksville and would include schooling; daycare; a medical facility; recreation including basketball, track, tennis and gymnasium; a supermarket, clothing and shoe stores, small restaurants; and employment areas.
Board member Chris Austin questioned the project's stated aim to provide housing not only to veterans, but also to the special needs population. "If this project was for the veterans and only the veterans, I would be supportive of it. But I'm getting the inclination by reading your proposal that this has the inclination to be a stop-and-shop for homeless people from New York City, Westchester, Rockland, and other areas, and I'm not in favor of that."
Johnson clarified that "Most of the veterans will be coming from this county," and that it would create jobs for town residents such as social workers, day care providers, nurses, etc.
She asked the town to give the organization a letter of support within 60 days in order to apply for a government-funded grant, which will also pay for a conceptual master plan.
Barbuti asked for a cost/benefit analysis. "We have a history in this county of providing for people with special needs, but I also need to keep in mind the needs of the community."
Uncomfortable with giving a letter of support without more information, the board asked Cole-Johnson for additional specifics including the conceptual master plan before it could lend its support.

Buenos Aires Nightlife
Preparing for a night out in Buenos Aires has an element of marathon training to it. Rest up with a siesta, fortify yourself with some protein, and drink plenty of fluids before, during, and after. That's right, the key to porteño nightlife is longevity—after all, an early night means hailing a cab at 6 am.
The scene here rivals that of any capital city, so you'll find something
to suit every taste. Trendy cocktail bars, secret speakeasies, classic tango haunts, artsy watering holes, and packed dance floors await. To make the most of them, try following the locals' lead.
Painting Buenos Aires red means looking sharp, going with the flow as you bar-hop, and not challenging your new B.A. buddies to raucous drinking games. Porteños adore going out with their friends, but it's not uncommon to see a large group sharing a liter bottle of beer and swigging from the same glass. Latino lightweights? Not at all. This is just how Argentines roll—and once a night gets really rocking, they'll move onto their favorite tipple, Fernet y Cola.
Hours are relaxed, but there are general guidelines. The smartest bars kick off an evening with happy hours that begin around 8 pm and often stretch way beyond 60 minutes; downtown drinking establishments start even earlier to lure workers to part with hard-earned pesos, spawning the "after-office" across the city, which is now a nightlife fixture almost any day of the week. Theater performances begin around 9 pm and the last movie begins after midnight. By that point, lines to get into popular bars have started forming, but clubs aren't buzzing until 4 am. If in doubt, turn up later than you consider reasonable when you're meeting a local (30 minutes after the appointed time is the norm). The subte (subway) closes between 10 and 11 pm, depending on the line and day. Monday through Saturday it reopens at 5 am; on Sunday, however, trains don't start running again until 8 am. So taking a cab to and from home is a good idea—it's also quicker than waiting for a colectivo bus very late at night.

Let government work for us
I was listening to a broadcast on NPR radio and the topic was immigrant farm workers. First I would like to say I am not against any group of people. We are all human.
For years it has been said farmers could not get Americans to do the work immigrants would. I tend to believe it's not that they wouldn't, it's more they can't survive and support their families on what is paid to workers from other countries. In some cases they are provided housing by the company and transportation, and other conveniences. If a worker from here would take the same job and provide their own transportation plus cost of living for them and their family without having those same benefits, it would be next to impossible to survive.
A solution could be instead of spending billions on programs for transporting and legalizing people to work in America, we could put to work our local people nationwide and have a subsidized program to help companies with the pay. The companies could also pay more if they weren't paying for housing and transportation, too. If some people needed it like people who were homeless, which is a growing problem nationwide, they could still have that option.
We desperately need to help people at our back doors for a change instead of globally. Help America! Let our government work for us.

What You Can Do
Thousands of WWF supporters spoke up and took action in support of saving tiger forests in Sumatra, but there is still more to do.
How You Can Help
Be a Mystery Shopper
Use this map to help track tissue coming from tiger forests. Tell us if you see Livi brand toilet paper in a hotel, restaurant, office building or school.
Make a Good Buy
When buying toilet paper, paper towels and other tissue products, buy sustainably-sourced paper products. Look for either 100% recycled content or FSC-certified tissue.
What should I do if I see Livi at my school, in a hotel or restaurant, or if I don't see FSC-certified or recycled toilet paper?
Speak to the person in charge of buying and ask them to stop using Livi, and start using responsibly sourced brands. Not sure what to say or just want to leave a comment? Use this suggested text:
If you see Livi products: I noticed that you currently use Livi tissue products. I would like to request that this school/hotel/restaurant switch to another brand. I am concerned about the deforestation caused by Livi's paper supplier, because it is pushing Sumatran tigers and elephants to local extinction.
Not using 100% recycled or FSC-certified toilet paper: I would like to request that this school/hotel/restaurant start using toilet paper brands that are either 100% recycled or Forest Stewardship Council certified. I am concerned that the deforestation caused by some paper suppliers is pushing endangered species to local extinction. I would also like to ask that this school/hotel/restaurant implement a responsible paper sourcing policy to ensure that only products from responsibly managed forests and recycled sources are used in your school/hotel/restaurant.

Carol Moseley Braun Considering Run for Chicago Mayor
Kathy Chaney | 9/13/2010, 11:39 a.m.
CHICAGO (NNPA) - Carol Moseley Braun may put her hat in the ring to succeed outgoing Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley, sources said.
The former U.S. Senator was flooded with calls on Tuesday -- the day Daley made the surprise announcement that he would not seek a seventh term in office -- encouraging her to mull a run for the mayoral post.
Braun, who made history in 1993 as the first African-American female U.S. Senator, told the Defender on Friday she is "seriously considering it."
Braun's political career spans more than two decades.
After leaving the U.S. Attorney's office as a federal prosecutor in Chicago in 1977, she was elected state representative the next year. In 1987 she was elected Cook County Recorder of Deed. Five years later, history was made in the U.S. Senate. Braun held the post for one six-year term. She served as U.S. Ambassador to New Zealand and Samoa from 1999 to 2001 under the Clinton administration.
During the 2004 U.S. presidential election, Braun was a candidate for the Democratic nomination.
Braun currently runs her Chicago-based company, Good Food Organics, the parent company of Ambassador Organics, which manufactures several products including coffee, food spices, olive oil and tea. She founded the company five years ago.

For a few years now my family has been building a Christmas Eve tradition. While not nearly as elaborate as the picture to the right, my family builds a ginger-bread house. It is a sticky, gooey process. My wife bakes the walls and roof pieces. I build the house. My daughters take glee in all the trimmings laid out before them. We all love decorating the house with all the sugary trimmings.
The house never really turns out the way I think it should. It's not really that square. It leans a bit. The kids argue over where the trimmings should go and then giggle with delight when they sneak some trimmings to eat.
In the end, we've all had a great time. We've made some memories we'll share for years. We've spent some time together in one place at the same time.
It's like a miracle. Here are some really "Over-the-Top Gingerbread Houses"
From the staff at Design Basics and HER Home Magazine, have a safe and Merry Christmas!

"We specialize in method development because, as an academic, I can't compete with developing new drugs for the market," Carlson explains. "We develop technologies and databases that other people can apply." At a molecular level, her research involves studying protein binding sites, which bind molecules that can be inhibitors or regulators and affect cell function. These studies have implications for developing treatments for cancer and other diseases. Carlson's research involves extensive computer analysis of large numbers of proteins to investigate consistent patterns.
"My lab is actually an office with computers," she explains, adding that she is typically supervising about 10 people total, including six doctoral candidates.
Carlson recently was promoted to professor of medicinal chemistry and professor of chemistry at Michigan, holding appointments in both the College of Pharmacy and College of Literature, Science and the Arts. She also was named a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science for her contributions to computational chemistry. She arrived at Michigan in 2000 as the John Gideon Searle Assistant Professor of Medicinal Chemistry, an endowed chair awarded with her appointment. "It's rare to receive a chair as an assistant professor and I was very honored to get the offer," she says.
North Central's Impact
Carlson came to North Central with a love of studying math and was curious about theoretical physical chemistry. "My advisor, Shirley Wilson (professor of mathematics emerita), remembers me coming to North Central also excited about quantum mechanics."
With the mentoring of Wilson along with Anne Sherren, professor of chemistry emerita, and David Horner, Harold and Eva White Distinguished Professor in the Liberal Arts, Carlson triple-majored in math, chemistry and physics. "Heather was one of the rare North Central chemistry majors who had a strong interest in both math and chemistry," remembers Horner.
Horner had spent time researching at the University of Georgia's Center for Computational Quantum Chemistry and encouraged Carlson to obtain a summer internship there. "Dr. Horner was a huge influence for me at North Central," Carlson says. "And Anne Sherren supervised my research project at Argonne National Laboratory about analytical chemistry and liquid chromatography."
After graduating as the Outstanding Major in Chemistry, Carlson's choice for graduate programs came down to Stanford University, the University of Georgia and Yale University. She chose the latter because "Yale already had a program in biophysics and in the individual meetings we had, I could tell they cared about me." She completed
her doctorate in physical chemistry in 1997 and a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of California at San Diego from 1997 to 2000.
Now in a senior faculty role and as mother of three young sons, Carlson is concerned with statistics that show a troubling attrition rate among females in higher education. "Women represent 50 percent of incoming graduate students but only 20 percent of faculty nationally," she says.
Seeking Top Grads
She has also been involved with recruiting graduate students for Michigan. "We compete with (the Universities of) Illinois and Wisconsin for the top kids," she says. Of the top candidates that the university recruits for graduate programs, the majority come from small liberal arts schools like North Central College and others in the Midwest. Science students at larger, tier-one universities are usually more interested in pre-medicine and other health fields, she says.
"The students who are succeeding at small four-year colleges are prepared and motivated to pursue doctoral degrees and research careers."

Home to a quarter of Alabama's population, Birmingham, Alabama has all the business, tourist and sports attractions most travelers seek. If you are looking for Birmingham hotels, Extended Stay America has several great places to stay, each offering comfortable accommodations and exceptional rates.
Tourists to Birmingham have plenty of exciting options. Art lovers should visit the Birmingham Museum of Art, the largest municipal art museum in the Southeast. With permanent collections from around the world and most any artistic style you can imagine, this museum is a wonderful place to spend a relaxing day.
Ancient Rhodes had its Colossus, and modern Birmingham has the statue Vulcan, the ancient Roman God of Fire. Standing 56 feet tall, this is the world's largest cast iron statue. Overlooking the city, the statue and its museum are well worth seeing first hand to learn more about this industrial city of the South. Vulcan is, of course, a symbol of the region's steel industry and it is to this economic power that the Iron & Steel Museum of Alabama is also dedicated.
If you are more interested in the sky than the Earth, the Southern Museum of Flight should be on your travel itinerary. With over 75 aircrafts on display, several realistic flight simulators and even a "Little Pilots Room" for children, this museum is sure to pique your imagination.
Once a major agricultural producer, the Birmingham area still grows amazing plants and flowers. Calling itself Alabama's largest living museum, the Birmingham Botanical Gardens is 67 acres of gardens perfect for careful study or a relaxing stroll. To put Alabama flora in context, many people visit the Arlington Antebellum Home and Gardens to see a magnificent 1840s home and surrounding gardens.
Science enthusiasts will enjoy the McWane Science Center. With four floors of interactive, hands-on exhibits, adults and children are both in for a great time. Be sure you leave time for the IMAX Theater presentation. Birmingham also has a long and vibrant connection to American jazz. In fact, this is the home of the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame, honoring such greats as Duke Ellington, Nat King Cole and Lionel Hampton.
For a taste of the heart-pounding excitement of NASCAR racing, head for the world-famous Talladega Superspeedway. Telladega offers visitors both an internationally-renowned racing venue as well as year-round driving schools that will have them in a real race car at 170 miles-per-hour. If your interest in speed involves vehicles with just two wheels, you need to visit the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum. The Barber collection includes over 1,200 vintage and modern motorcycles, about 600 of which are on display at any given time.
What's more, this museum is accumulating growing number of Lotus and other types of classic race cars.
Birmingham is a superb city for family fun. Alabama Adventure combines heart-pounding roller coasters with a water park featuring a nine-story water slide and all the fun food and games you could want. For an only somewhat more traditional adventure, head to the Birmingham Zoo. With animals from around the world, there is always something interesting to see.
Festivals of all sorts help make Birmingham a fun place to visit. The Sidewalk Moving Picture Festival, presented in conjunction with the Taste of 4th Avenue Jazz Festival, attracts filmmakers from all over the world. Whether you attend Do Dah Day, the Crawfish Boil or the Magic City Brewfest Birmingham, you're in for a unique type of fun.
Birmingham has amazing golf regardless of skill. The Highland Park Golf Course is a great example of fine Birmingham golf right in the heart of downtown.
For an enjoyable hotel in Birmingham, Extended Stay America has just what you are looking for.

Prestigious Institute of Medicine Elects Four New Members from Penn
PHILADELPHIA - Four professors from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have been elected as members of the Institute of Medicine (IOM), one of the nation's highest honors in biomedicine. The new members bring Penn's total to 72, out of a total active membership of 1,610. Overall, the IOM named 65 new members this year and five foreign associates.
"We are proud that four of our most distinguished and accomplished scientists have been named to one of the country's leading institutions," said Dr. Arthur H. Rubenstein, Executive Vice President of the University of Pennsylvania for the Health System and Dean of the School of Medicine. "Having Penn Medicine colleagues elected to this esteemed body is an extraordinarily significant honor."
The IOM was established in 1970 by the National Academy of Sciences to honor professional achievement in the health sciences and to serve as a national resource for independent analysis and recommendations on issues related to medicine, biomedical sciences, and health.
The new Penn IOM members are:
Thomas Curran, PhD, is Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine and an Investigator at the Abramson Family Cancer Research Institute at Penn and the Deputy Scientific Director at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Research Institute. Dr. Curran's research addresses the molecular basis of normal and neoplastic growth of the brain with the goal of uncovering new approaches for the treatment of pediatric brain tumors. He served as President of the American Association of Cancer Research in 2001 and on the Board of Scientific Advisors of the National Cancer Institute from 2000-2005. In 2005 he was elected to the Royal Society.
Garret A. FitzGerald, MD, is the McNeil Professor in Translational Medicine and Therapeutics; chair of the Department of Pharmacology; and director of the Institute for Translational Medicine and Therapeutics. Dr. FitzGerald's research takes an integrative approach to elucidating the mechanisms of drug action, drawing on work in cells, model organisms, and humans. He has contributed substantially to the development of low-dose aspirin as a therapy, and his team was the first to predict and then mechanistically explain the cardiovascular hazard from NSAIDs. His laboratory was also the first to discover a molecular clock in the cardiovascular system. Amongst his awards are the Harvey Medal, the Boyle Medal, the Taylor Prize, and the Cameron Prize. Dr. FitzGerald serves on the Peer Review Advisory Committee of the NIH, the Science Board of the FDA, and the Drug Forum of the Institute of Medicine.
Frederick S. Kaplan, MD is The Isaac & Rose Nassau Professor of Orthopaedic Molecular Medicine and Chief of the Division of Molecular Orthopaedic Medicine. Dr. Kaplan studies the molecular genetics of FOP and POH, rare bone disorders in which the body forms a second skeleton of heterotopic bone. This collaborative work, conducted with his colleague Dr. Eileen Shore, led to the discovery of the gene for POH in 2002 and for FOP in 2006. Dr. Kaplan co-directs the only center in the world devoted entirely to this work, has organized the medical and scientific communities worldwide on FOP and POH, and is recognized as the world's leading expert on genetic disorders of heterotopic ossification and skeletal metamorphosis. In 1997, Kaplan was awarded the first endowed chair in the nation for orthopaedic molecular medicine. Cited in 2006, as one of the15 people who make America great, Newsweek noted "the disease [FOP] was so rare, nobody wanted to deal with it until he came along."
Amita Sehgal, PhD, is Professor of Neuroscience and an Investigator with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Dr. Sehgal studies the molecular and genetic components of sleep and circadian, or 24-hour, rhythms. Using the fruit fly, she and others have characterized a molecular clock present in flies and humans. Her lab has also developed the fly as a model system for studying sleep, showing that the rest phase in flies is a sleeplike state, helping to answer important questions about the essential need for sleep. Dr. Sehgal received the Stanley Cohen Senior Faculty Research Award and is Associate Editor of the Journal of Clinical Investigation and Associate Editor for the Journal of Neuroscience.
Penn Medicine is one of the world's leading academic medical centers, dedicated to the related missions of medical education, biomedical research, and excellence in patient care. Penn Medicine consists of the Raymond and Ruth Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania (founded in 1765 as the nation's first medical school) and the University of Pennsylvania Health System, which together form a $4.3 billion enterprise.
The Perelman School of Medicine has been ranked among the top five medical schools in the United States for the past 17 years, according to U.S. News & World Report's survey of research-oriented medical schools. The School is consistently among the nation's top recipients of funding from the National Institutes of Health, with $392 million awarded in the 2013 fiscal year.
The University of Pennsylvania Health System's patient care facilities include: The Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania -- recognized as one of the nation's top "Honor Roll" hospitals by U.S. News & World Report; Penn Presbyterian Medical Center; Chester County Hospital; Lancaster General Health; Penn Wissahickon Hospice; and Pennsylvania Hospital -- the nation's first hospital, founded in 1751. Additional affiliated inpatient care facilities and services throughout the Philadelphia region include Chestnut Hill Hospital and Good Shepherd Penn Partners, a partnership between Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Network and Penn Medicine.
Penn Medicine is committed to improving lives and health through a variety of community-based programs and activities. In fiscal year 2013, Penn Medicine provided $814 million to benefit our community.

How many characters can fit?
It depends on the item, as well as the style you choose. Some items have space to fit up to 10 characters, while others are limited to three. The maximum number of characters will be listed when you configure your monogram.
How can I tell if an item can be monogrammed?

You will have a chance to preview your monogram prior to placing your order — so you'll see exactly what it will look like in each style.

By Anne Constable: The Santa Fe New Mexican
The Santa Fe Opera is seeking legislative approval for an agreement with the state to lease and eventually purchase a yet-to-be-built open-air rehearsal hall and the land it sits on.
Speaker of the House Ben Lujan, D-Nambe, introduced this week House Joint Resolution 8, which would give the unique deal the Legislature's stamp of approval.
Under state law, the Legislature has control over large purchase agreements and leases.
If lawmakers sign off on the measure, construction of the $1,435,000 building could begin in September.
The opera has long wanted a new hall to provide more space during the summer when all five main-stage productions are in rehearsal.
Several years ago, the opera and the Department of Cultural Affairs worked out the mechanism by which taxpayer money could be used to pay for the hall without violating New Mexico's anti-donation clause, which prohibits the state from giving money to private entities.
The opera deeded the land — less than a quarter acre on the opera grounds — to the state, which agreed to build the rehearsal hall using a design developed by the opera. Over the last two sessions the Legislature gave DCA $1,435,000 in capital outlay funds to cover construction costs.
Under the agreement, DCA will lease the building to the opera for three months of the year — June, July and August — at a fair market value of $15,000, which the opera will pay in cash. For the rest of the year, the state will be able to use the building as a performing arts rehearsal and performance space.
While the building is not suitable for use in winter, Jerry Nelson, the opera's assistant director of development, said there are at least three or four months when it could be a viable venue. "Renting it out for corporate clients for dinner is not really part of this idea," he said.
The opera has said it wants to buy both the land and the building "relatively soon." The joint resolution asks the Legislature to approve the purchase at fair market value.
The opera intends to pay for the property through services to the community. "We're offering the state at least $300,000 in services every year until we've purchased it back," Nelson said.
The services include things like the opera-in-the-schools program, state apprentice tours, concerts, etc. From a varying menu, "DCA will choose every year which programs they wish us to use as services."
Many of these programs are those the opera has previously been offering to the community at great cost to itself, Nelson said.
That "the opera is going to promise to do them under the current economic climate, that's a big promise," Nelson said. "These are expensive."

Twilight is great!
Twilight is good, but it doesn't deserve to be so popular
I watched Twilight and geniuely dislike it
I'm fake, I tell people I hate it, but I actually like it :/
Only seen the 1st movie and I ended it there. Im quite satisfied with the ending.
Best Vampire Movie is Underworld. The first two movies and everything else is shit.

this..^^ underworld is the way to go.
I love twilight cant wait to see breaking dawn part 2!!
dude the story is lame... it just sucks but I don't care for it
twilight is like one direction
every straight male hates it
girls from 8-16 love it the most
gay guys love it
its just a bunch oh sh*tty actors
things uncommon from one direction
its a bunch of horny straight teenagers running around a forest shirtless
the part i agree is vampire should not glitter under the sun... hahaha!
twilight needs more action...
The last movie sucked so hard that I wanted my money back
I liked the other movies though.
I don't hate it, I just never wanted to see it
i dont like twlight at all
I don't like it but I don't dislike it either, it's neutral for me. I think people are kinda immature for hating on it for no reason whatsoever, just because it's cool to hate Twilight. It's like hating Justin Bieber; I feel sorry for the guy, he's getting all this abuse for no reason at all. Same with Twilight.
Although, after reading through Reasoning With Vampires, I do think the series is written rather badly judging from the points that have been made in the blog. I've never actually read the books myself, though.
That being said, I reckon Breaking Dawn Part 2 actually looks like a genuinely enjoyable movie. I didn't like the first one (the only Twilight movie I've seen) because of the blue tint over everything, but it wasn't that bad. Edward's just creepy though.
I'm a girl and I personally hate twilight
It wasn't bad, but it shouldn't be so hyped up
agreed twlight is a good film series, but it does not deserve the hype it gets
i always like reading stories that other people made up and i think it's alright
but it seems like it was written by a fourth grader not the story but the sentence structure
lame movie in my opinion, [email protected]
Never read the books, never seen the movies, but know the story by way of Wikipedia plot synopsis and much summarizing by people who have read the books. And I will say I dislike it because Bella is a pretty terrible role model for the young, impressionable girls the book is being marketed to.
I used to make fun but now I don't care anymore.
you wanna a truly awesome vampire movie watch underworld with a women that actually kicks a$$ , not this fary tail , with fail actors , a whore as the lead actress , shit of a movie ...... thank madara this is over !
I genuinely hate this movie and it's plot.
