Objective: To evaluate if a family presence educational intervention during brain death evaluation improves understanding of brain death without affecting psychological distress.
Design: Randomized controlled trial.
Setting: Four ICUs at an academic tertiary care center.
Subjects: Immediate family members of patients suspected to have suffered brain death.
Interventions: Subjects were group randomized to presence or absence at bedside throughout the brain death evaluation with a trained chaperone. All randomized subjects were administered a validated "understanding brain death" survey before and after the intervention. Subjects were assessed for psychological well-being between 30 and 90 days after the intervention.
Measurements and Main Results: Follow-up assessment of psychological well-being was performed using the Impact of Event Scale and General Health Questionnaire. Brain death understanding, Impact of Event Scale, and General Health Questionnaire scores were analyzed using Wilcoxon nonparametric tests. Analyses were adjusted for within family correlation. Fifty-eight family members of 17 patients undergoing brain death evaluation were enrolled: 38 family members were present for 11 brain death evaluations and 20 family members were absent for six brain death evaluations. Baseline understanding scores were similar between groups (median 3.0 [presence group] vs 2.5 [control], p = 0.482). Scores increased by a median of 2 (interquartile range, 1–2) if present versus 0 (interquartile range, 0–0) if absent (p < 0.001). Sixty-six percent of those in the intervention group achieved perfect postintervention "understanding" scores, compared with 20% of subjects who were not present (p = 0.02). Median Impact of Event Scale and General Health Questionnaire scores were similar between groups at follow-up (Impact of Event Scale: present = 20.5, absent = 23.5, p = 0.211; General Health Questionnaire: present = 13.5, absent = 13.0, p = 0.250).
Conclusions: Family presence during brain death evaluation improves understanding of brain death with no apparent adverse impact on psychological well-being. Family presence during brain death evaluation is feasible and safe.

The iPhone 5 comes in two versions apparently, GSM and CDMA. The 4S combined the two in one model. I know that GSM is used by some carriers (AT&T) and CDMA is used by others (Verizon and Sprint), but what is the difference? Is there any advantage of one verus the other from a user's perspective?
You must be logged in to ask, answer or follow a question.
By the GSM iphone 5 you can unlock it easily by the network provider or a relevant software or by an onlione vendor like ClassicUnlocking.com easily .By an unlocked GSM iphone you can use any other GSM network in other country.It is more suitable for roaming to other country.But the CDMA iphone 5 ,you can't change the network provider easily.
Really the only difference I notice from a end user standpoint is that the removable SIM card on GSM phones allows switching phones on a carrier by doing little more than switching SIM cards. Most of the rest of the world outside the US uses the GSM standard, so if you are a traveler, there is a real advantage there. I actually keep a spare GSM phone around even though my carrier is Sprint, which is a CDMA carrier. When I travel to Europe, I just buy a SIM card from a pre-pay carrier in whatever country I'm in, and I have a phone that will work during the trip for very little expense.

Cora Unashamed
updated 1.31.2002
This movie was very touching and very uplifting. I loved it! We watched this during class one day and this movie was so educational and I admire Cora so much for dealing with her gains and her losses. I felt horrible for her when Mrs. Studevant was so mean to her, and then when her daughter and Jessie died. But I loved this movie and I would definitely watch it again.
Nikki Winter
Germantown, WI
I would like to say that my family and I enjoyed Cora Unashamed very much. My kids have learned a lot from this short story; they learned that you could love anyone in spite of your race or nationality. Thank you again. We would like you to show Cora Unashamed again because it's a learning experience for everyone.

I loved the movie Cora Unashamed. I especially liked the poem that Cora recited as Jessie lay dying. Does anyone know the name of that poem and who wrote it?
No. Hampton, NH
In Langston Hughes's Cora Unashamed, I especially liked the poem added by the screenwriter, Anne Peacock. This poem characterized Cora and Joe's love as endless and unconfined. The references to nature, seasons, and corporeal sensations struck me as true to the kinds of things that really do stimulate memories and feelings. I felt this poem communicated well the indomitable love and spirit that Hughes intended for his character, Jessie. Can you share the text of this poem with us in The Forum?

These are two of many emails we received with the same request. To read the poem click here.
I have to tell you how much I enjoyed seeing Cora Unashamed! Usually, I do not tune in to Masterpiece Theatre, because the stories seem stuffy. This story, on the other hand, was so interesting and emotional. I was thrilled to learn that the show would be repeated later in the week, and watched it a second time! I also looked up the short story and read it. I have now found a new author whose writing I look forward to exploring. Please put more shows like this one in the future!

Thanks so much for your fine portrayal of Langston Hughes's Cora Unashamed. The vulnerability of Jessie and the blindness of her family to her need to be loved was moving and more than once brought tears to my eyes. Cora was like so many women I have known -- strong, humble individuals who know what is right and good and act accordingly. I always enjoy watching Regina Taylor. She is truly a superb actress.

I want to applaud Masterpiece Theatre's American Collection for choosing Langston Hughes's Cora Unashamed for its first production. It was well done. It and the great Web pages you have created give proper credit to Langston Hughes, The Harlem Renaissance, and all they have contributed. Thanks.
Carl H. Slater

Ms. Taylor gave a magnificent performance. I am richer spiritually for having had the great pleasure of seeing her. Thank you.
Kharyn Leigh

I am a true fan of work from the Harlem Renaissance and I must say that I have not enjoyed a movie more than Cora Unashamed in years. This movie and the portrayal of Cora brought me to tears. Are there any other Harlem Renaissance productions in the Masterpiece series? Thank you so much for airing this program. They just don't make enough movies like this anymore.

I watched Cora Unashamed last night and I am still talking about it. I loved it. Regina Taylor is one of my favorite actors and her portrayal of Cora was remarkable. She and Cherry Jones are to be commended for their performances. Taylor's performance had me so riveted that when Cora lost her daughter, I cried for 20 minutes. Her range as an actress is incredible. Not having read the short story, I can not speak to the authenticity of the adaptation to the screen but I must say the director, Deborah Pratt, did a wonderful job capturing the essence of the time. Thank you PBS for a great production. I look forward to the remaining installments in the American Collection series, particularly the Henry James adaptation.
Suzanne Wilson Davis

I write with regards to the Langston Hughes story, Cora Unashamed. I found the overall presentation by PBS to be vibrant, colorful, provocative and stimulating... however, it seemed that a component was missing. That is the purpose for the Drama. One could agreeably say that this does match Aristotle's requirement for Drama, i.e. that the Drama must arise from the characters, again, however I must argue that the Drama fell flat. Places showed acting (dramatically) lacking, whereas in other places it was intensely dramatic. Had these been better placed, the entire performance could have been much more appealing, dramatic, vibrant and overall, the form of style that Langston Hughes would have greatly approved of. Yet, for a first airing of the American Collection, I would find that it has been a fairly decent production. Bravo for entering the American spectrum of literature -- and again, bravissimo for finding your niche in the televising of American writing greatness.
Michael B. Lopez
The University of California, Davis
To all who helped create Cora Unashamed, Thank you! This was beautiful in every respect. I am very grateful for the quality television you continue to provide for the public. Cora was a first class offering from beginning to end. I particularly look forward to seeing Regina Taylor in anything she does in the future.
Katherine DeGrow
Richardson, TX
As I was flipping channels I came across the movie Cora Unashamed and something about the setting stopped me. I watched and then flipped, but came back to it very eagerly. I finished the movie crying for the last 30 minutes of the show like I had lost a part of my soul. The poems, the story touched me so and in fact I have been reading this Web site and getting names of stories and authors so that I may read it. I haven't read a book in years. That's how much this movie touched me. THANK YOU.
Suzie Grant
Vancouver, BC, Canada
I thoroughly enjoyed the PBS presentation of Cora Unashamed. I was compelled to visit the PBS Web site for the first time due to my curiosity about this work. How wonderful to find the story immediately available! Thank you. I will read more of Langston Hughes. I look forward to more of this series. I am grateful for American works that present an honest view of life in our country, even that which is not always pleasant. This story presents an honest picture of prejudice in many forms. Race, gender and intelligence are often the factors by which people are judged and often tragedy is a result of superficial false harsh judgement. I felt that the written story presented an even sadder picture of this reality yet it was written so well it was a pleasure to read. Again I thank you for this story and the inspiration you provided for me. I look forward to more!

I am an avid reader and generally prefer most books and stories to their movie adaptations. In the case of Cora Unashamed, I was deeply moved by the film but less so by the story as written by Mr. Hughes. I congratulate Masterpiece Theatre for producing such a wonderful film from a story that is fairly bare bones and I congratulate PBS for making the film a part of their programming. Thank you for providing me with an evening of entertainment that was both powerful and thought provoking. In my book, PBS beats the networks every time!
Kristyne Hacker
Sperry, OK
I would like to thank PBS and ExxonMobil for supporting this type of literary analysis and presentation of the works of Langston Hughes. I have read several pieces in the "Teachers Guide" which I found to be very informative and quite engaging. If teachers choose to share this series with their children and their parents in turn, I believe that we will all gain an increased understanding of our history and how we can improve the way all Americans communicate and live together. This should clear the road for further constructive debate and serve to bring us closer. It will also create an increased understanding of race, racism and how we perceive the ways it is experienced by different members of our society.
Thanks for all that you do.
Trent Jefferson
Houston, TX
I just saw Cora Unashamed. I loved it. I can't wait until the next masterpiece. I am 38 and it is only within the last 2 years that I have come to enjoy reading. I will put Langston Hughes on my list as soon as I finish with Hemingway and D.H. Lawrence. What a beautifully motivating story. What a tribute to human character (good and bad). Thank you. Great job.
Shelley Lowe
Lansing, MI
I am a first time viewer and I have fallen in love with your series. I watched Cora Unashamed and was taken with emotion. I cried, I laughed and I cheered with every moment. It is a story I will read to my daughter when she is old enough to appreciate it. The movie showed the courage and strength that woman as mothers, daughters, lovers and friends have to muster for centuries. I could not help giving my daughter a great big hug after the movie. Thank you for bringing Langston Hughes into my life. I can't wait to read more of his works.
I look forward to The American.
Toronto, ON, Canada
The lovely production of Cora Unashamed was a gem! The brilliant acting, exquisite attention to detail, and unfailing realism of the setting made it one of the finest plays seen on Masterpiece Theatre in recent years. Kudos to Ms. Eaton and each person involved in this evocative presentation.
Etta Kern
El Paso, TX
Cora Unashamed was the most wonderful TV movie I have seen in years. It's two days later and I'm still thinking of it. The richness of the story with its different themes of love, racism, youth and personal strength shows what a master Hughes was as an author. Your production did him well and the actors' performances were great. I'd so like to meet Cora and save Jessie!
Dot Curtis
North Attleboro, MA
I just wanted to say what a beautiful story Cora Unashamed is. It was shot wonderfully, the storytelling is superb and it confirms for me that excellent stories can still be found on TV. Thank you, PBS!
p.s. Where can I find a copy of the poem Cora recites to Jessie?
Tasha Gatlin
Savannah, GA
Regarding Cora Unashamed: I thought the PBS presentation was very lame, in comparison with the text. The "Hollywoodization" of the story made me ill. The role of Cora's "lickering" dad was omitted, everyone was so polite to Cora in town, Mr. Art was a spineless wimp, the blond boy Joe was dark-haired, the fat and simple Jessie was thin and freckled, the role of Mrs. Art was wishy-washy --she was sorry Cora lost Josephine, etc.while she bossed her around.
I mean, come on, did the screenwriter actually read and understand the story? Cora had a relationship in that Iowa household that would not have been possible 40 years ago, let alone 80 years ago. The story explained how she was a slave to the family. I believe that this was an inaccurate and historically incorrect portrayal of a fine story.
William S. Jones
Sound Beach, NY
Regarding Cora Unashamed: This has been the most interesting story and video for 'at risk' students. They can relate this story to their own lives. It is very complicated to get students involved in reading, but this interests them to stay involved with the reading and viewing the video.
Betty Carnes
Beresford, SD
Langston Hughes's Cora Unashamed brought the delicate balance of love and hate, kindness and cruelty to the screen. Regina Taylor's depiction of Cora was perfect. The setting and cast added the perfect elements to a marvelous script. Middle-grade children should be encouraged to watch Cora Unashamed, as this production is a masterpiece in facing the human flaws and beauties of our society.
C. Williams
Anniston, AL
Normally I love Masterpiece Theatre, and I was delighted to learn that an American series was being offered. However, I thought the installment I viewed part of last Sunday was dreadful. Sorry. It was so oversentimentalized and cliched -- right down to the little girl clutching her doll and pushing an empty swing, Cora running her fingertips along the metal railing, etc. Ugh! This is what we run from when we turn to public TV. This was like a made-for-TV movie and not half so good as I'll Fly Away. Bring back the Brits!
Anne Burke
Basking Ridge, NJ
I am writing this letter not 10 minutes after watching and being touched by Cora Unashamed. I am a ninth-grade English teacher in the throes of teaching short stories that deal with snake bites and hunting humans while works like "Cora Unashamed" are being traditionally overlooked! As a new teacher, I am constantly looking for new works that the students can relate to and that my apprehensive readers may attempt to read. This is it! I am taking the initiative to find the collection of short stories by Hughes and incorporate "Cora Unashamed" and "Thank You Ma'am" and any other good short story that I can find by him all because I have been deeply moved by the cinematic presentation of Cora Unashamed. Thank you for your interpretation and for your courage.
Mrs. Rashunda Young
Fort Campbell, KY
I am a big fan of Langston Hughes, especially his character Simple. I think your screenplay brought out more of what could have been going on that Mr. Hughes didn't have time to mention and still kept in line with his short story. GREAT JOB. Now, if you could only get someone to sponsor a film on Simple Speaks His Mind. ;-)
R. Marsh
Houston, TX
Cora Unashamed was a beautifully crafted and very moving story about the triumph of the heart.
As a Canadian born in Edmonton, Alberta, and living in Vancouver, I find it strange that I can relate more to the American Experience than the so-called Canadian Experience.
I believe this is because stories about America come from all over the States, and the setting for Cora being in Iowa is a good example of this. Unfortunately, stories about the "Canadian experience" almost always come from Central Canada (usually the Toronto-Ottawa-Montreal area), and as such present a very narrow vision of what this country is all about.
American stories are simply more authentic -- they always have been, and I suspect they always will be.
Jim Slater
Vancouver, BC
I am so happy to see one of my favorite American authors, Langston Hughes, featured on Masterpiece Theatre. For me, the beauty of his writing is how accurately he describes environment as well as emotion, with an economy of words. As much as I enjoyed seeing this work presented, I longed to feel the impact of these emotions in the way that I do when I read "Cora Unashamed," or any of the stories from The Ways of White Folks. Still, I think it wonderful that young people may be introduced to his writing, and I hope that teachers who study American history will be able to add this valuable writer to their curriculums.
I look forward to more from your Masterpiece Theatre.
Andrea Pietschmann
Los Angeles, CA
I absolutely think this was the best movie I have ever seen. I cried my eyes out. I stayed up until 3 a.m. watching this movie. Once I started watching it, I couldn't stop and go to sleep. I cannot stress to you how much I enjoyed watching this movie. I thought all of the actors were very good, and the portrayal of the time and place was fantastic. And to think this movie came from a 10-page short story just blows my mind. I can't wait until it comes back on so I can tell everyone I know to watch it.
Montgomery, WV
I really enjoyed Cora Unashamed. I love anything by Langston Hughes. It was a wonderful movie. I would love to see more movies like this on PBS. Well, I am sorry this is the only station that does have a heart and sticks to wonderful, enjoyable movies and programs. Thanks for being who you are and believing in such wonderful TV. Thanks,
Rashida Clayborn
Dallas, TX
Wow! So wonderful to see that U.S. producers can hold their own in comparison to the productions coming from Britain on Masterpiece Theatre. Langston Hughes, usually known for his poetry, has created such a beautiful character and wonderfully complex story. Why have we not seen this anthologized? Is it a short story or novel? Acting and direction and story should give it at least one Emmy nomination!
Linda Kolts
Brooklyn, NY
You can find the original story on this site. It is taken from Hughes's 1934 short story collection The Ways of White Folks.
This was such a beautiful movie -- its lucidity was inspiring and charming. I was touched by Cora's story, and it made me think about the way I am. Being a minority, I have not suffered as Cora did. Her struggle is an inspiration to all people of minority status. May Cora's spirit live in all of us.

Investing In Gold - Welcome to my site!
There are various ways to invest in gold including gold (coins and bars), gold exchange traded funds (ETFs), gold certificates and e-gold. Dollar cost averaging is the most effective method of investing in gold. It involves putting a fixed amount of money towards gold each and every month. This helps to spread the risk over time therefore lessening the downside. Gold can provide protection, and insurance against inflation and uncertainty.
Investing in Physical Gold
Physical Gold includes bars and coins which are usually bought at various prices. Some of the most popular gold coins that one can invest in include American Buffalo, American Eagle and St. Gauden's. When investing in physical gold, one must avoid big premiums. Gold should be bought at a price that is closest to the spot price or 10% premium at most. Buying gold at a higher premium makes it harder to make profit. The premium of a gold product is calculated by subtracting the spot price from the quoted price, dividing the difference by the spot price and multiplying it by 100. It is also best to avoid investing in rare coins since these come with high premiums which make it harder to recoup their value.
Investing in Gold Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)
ETFs allow investors to have gold exposure in their portfolios without the inconvenience of storing the metal. There are three major EFTs which are physically backed and track gold spot prices. SPDR gold shares (GLD) is the most heavily traded ETF while iShares Comex Gold Trust (IAU) is the cheapest with a 0.25% fee. However, a newer gold ETF known as ETFS Gold trust (SGOL) is also quite popular as it gives investors access to different types of gold.
To trade in ETFs one must pay a small commission; an annual storage fee is also charged. The amount of gold represented by each certificate declines every year since the annual expenses of the fund including storage and insurance are covered by selling a small amount of gold from each certificate. However, ETF companies do not trade directly with investors. Instead, they issue their shares in form of 'creation units' which are then split up and sold in secondary markets. Investors can sell their shares to other investors or to the EFT.
Gold Certificates
Gold certificates enable investors to own gold in unallocated and allocated accounts. The Perth Mint certificate program besides being the only government backed gold certificate program in the world is the most cost effective way to invest in gold over the long term. One advantage of gold certificates is that they are extremely liquid and investors can buy and sell them online. Buying gold bullion in unallocated accounts does not involve any holding or insurance fees.
E-gold refers to digital gold currency. Though there are several unscrupulous providers operating in e-gold, there are also two respected providers; Bullion Vault and Gold Money. They allow investors to buy and sell gold in allocated accounts instantly. It is a pretty safe way to invest in gold since all gold bars are audited and accounted for.

Desk Staff Spotlight~ Stephanie Wieck
Today the Desk Staff spotlight is on Stephanie Wieck, a double major in accounting and business administration with an emphasis in finance. In her free time, Stephanie likes to read, spend time outside, and bake for friends. "I've been told that I make a great fruit pizza." Stephanie said.
Stephanie has been on Desk staff for six semesters, and unfortunately, this will be her last semester on staff. "My favorite part of being on the Desk staff has been the many friendships I have made with my coworkers." Stephanie said. "I also enjoy getting the chance to meet and talk with the students who come to the desk or the mailroom." Being on staff has taught Stephanie time management skills, teamwork skills, and how to have fun at work. "My biggest accomplishment in my desk staff position was having the opportunity to work as a Business Operations Assistant during the spring semester and over the summer." Stephanie said. "This position allowed me to have a larger leadership role, as well as take on more responsibilities and become more involved in the office." Stephanie is also proud of her academic career, maintaining a high GPA and surviving all of her upper level accounting classes.

The season is over, but the disappointment still hurts.
AC Milan finished in eighth place in Serie A, failing to qualify for a European competition for the first time since 1998.
The first matter of the off-season is Clarence Seedorf. It is looking ever more unlikely that he will remain as coach of Milan, but he is still owed quite a sum of money:
Seedorf is in a tough spot, Milan owes him 10 million euro before taxes- hard to see another club offering him that much to coach
— David Amoyal (@DavidAmoyal) May 26, 2014
Owner Silvio Berlusconi and CEO Adriano Galliani are meeting on Monday, May 26 in Arcore to discuss the coaching position, according to Gianluca Di Marzio of GianlucaDiMarzio.com.
Let's take a look at some of the Rossoneri's off-season plans.

It's time to rethink old sterotypes about different practice models
Supply and demand realities are now blurring the lines between in-house and outsourced programs
Published in the February 2007 issue of Today's Hospitalist.
When it comes to different types of hospitalist programs, you've heard all the stereotypes, from the long hours that for-profit practices can demand to the cushy shifts offered by some hospital-employed groups. But physicians and recruiters alike say that because hospital medicine is evolving so rapidly, these clichés are not only incorrect but misleading to physicians who are thinking of entering the job market.
To cope with the brutal laws of supply and demand-and a shortage of experienced physicians-hospitalist groups are doing whatever they can to interest qualified candidates. That includes changing the
Hospitalists looking for a new position are asking "better questions" about local politics, turnover rates and long-term stability.
number of shifts they ask their physicians to work and redesigning their benefit package and raising salaries.
One result is that many of the lines that have traditionally separated different practice models in hospital medicine-number of shifts is a good example-are beginning to blur. While that's ultimately to the benefit of physicians looking for a new position, it can make choosing opportunities based on different practice models difficult.
But while the models are transforming and stealing from each other, certain differences remain. Here's what several hospitalists-and a few recruiters-had to say about those issues, which range from physician autonomy and the availability of subspecialists to program stability.
The prevalent practice model
According to industry data, one out of three (34%) practicing hospitalists now works in-house as a hospital employee. The other two-thirds fall into one of several different outsourcing models: multistate hospitalist-only groups; local hospitalist-only groups; multispecialty/primary care groups; or emergency or critical care physician medical groups.
In addition, one out of five hospitalists works in an academic practice, where physicians may be employed by the institution or members of a contracted, outsourced group.
Geography also comes into play in determining employment models. Many states-including some of the biggest, such as California and New York-have "corporate practice of medicine" doctrines that prohibit physicians from entering into employment relationships with non-physicians. In those states, physicians can't be employees of hospitals, which are defined as "non-physicians," so they must work for a third party.
As a result, according to Society of Hospital Medicine data from 2005-06, more hospitalist programs in the East are affiliated with either multistate management groups or local hospitalist-only groups. And in the Western part of the country, which has a longer history of physician group consolidation in the face of managed care, more hospitalist programs tend to be affiliated with multispecialty or primary care medical groups.
The academic setting
Apart from geography, there are other important differences among the models. Kathleen Mimnagh, MD, for example, medical director for the hospitalist service at Charleston Area Medical Center (CAMC) in Charleston, W.Va., says that academic practices offer distinct benefits.
For one, working at an academic center ensures a high level of patient acuity. In fact, the hospitalists can choose to focus on either cardiac hospital medicine or orthopedic or neurosurgical co-management.
Another advantage? The hospitalists in her group have a full complement of subspecialists they can turn to. "They can call in a nephrologist for someone with renal failure," says Dr. Mimnagh, "or a pulmonologist or intensivist for a patient who's crashing."
Hospitalists can also keep their skills current by taking advantage of CAMC's continuing medical education or its clinical research infrastructure. And all the hospitalists enjoy the benefit of working within a larger program. The CAMC hospitalist service now numbers 14, which Dr. Mimnagh intends to grow to 16 by this spring and 20 by this summer. (In addition, the practice employs eight midlevel extenders.)
"If they want to take a vacation or even if they're sick or exhausted, they can call in and let me know," she says. "That's an enormous psychological benefit that helps them feel more in control and not as overwhelmed."
Keeping local control
Business control is one of the big reasons why John Krisa, MD, a full-time clinician and administrative site director, likes working for a large multistate hospitalist management company. His group, HMP of Albany County in Albany, N.Y., is part of Hospitalists Management Group (HMG), which is based in Canton, Ohio, and manages 20 practices in seven states.
Dr. Krisa says that he and his HMG colleagues have the best of both worlds. While they're incorporated as a small business and have local control over staffing and scheduling, they are also backed by a multistate management services company that has business expertise and can take advantage of economies of scale.
"They know how to process claims and deal with hospital administration," says Dr. Krisa. The management company also provides all back-office services like recruitment, legal representation and marketing.
Dr. Krisa points to another plus of working for HMG: The parent company-like many multistate companies and local hospitalist-only groups-offers physicians equity in the local practice, as well as equity in the parent company after three years.
"That gives you a piece of the big pie," says Dr. Krisa, who has been with the group since July 2003, "and a stake in what you're doing."
Potential for partnership
The potential for equity or partnership also draws physicians to another outsourced model: multispecialty or primary care private practices.
The hospitalists employed by the San Diego-based Sharp Rees-Stealy Medical Group, a multispecialty group with 330 physicians, for instance, become group shareholders after two years. (For more, see the Sharp Rees-Stealy Medical Group Practice CloseUp on page 45.)
According to William Contreras, MD, lead physician for one of two Sharp Rees-Stealy hospitalist teams, another big advantage of working for a large multispecialty group is the built-in referral network of specialists and subspecialists who work for the group.
"You are using the same four or five GI people, pulmonary people and oncologists," Dr. Contreras says. "It's not like you have to build relations with different subspecialists. That is already set up and ready to go."
Another big plus: career stability. "When you work for a hospital, that hospital can do anything with the program it chooses, including shutting it down or firing everyone and contracting the program out," says Dr. Contreras. "As a shareholder, the group can't just get rid of you unless there is some reason like disciplinary action."
In search of stability
In fact, program stability is considered a big plus, for different reasons, for large multistate hospitalist management companies as well.
Stacy Goldsholl, MD, the president of the hospital medicine division for TeamHealth, which has 400 hospitalists working in 100 different facilities across 17 states, points to the effectiveness of the company's recruiting muscle in promoting the stability of local practices.
"With 60+ recruiters nationwide, we can recruit hospitalists in a very tight market-and can supplement coverage in the short-term with our internal locums company," Dr. Goldsholl says. That ability to respond quickly to staffing issues is one big factor in TeamHealth's 97% client retention rate, which is "almost unheard of in this market," she says. (For more, see the
TeamHealth Practice CloseUp
And Dr. Krisa from HMG adds that working for a multistate group offers a different kind of stability for individual physicians. In the worst case scenario, he says, if he wants to relocate or if there is instability in the local contract, he as a physician will be protected.
"You're not all on your own," he explains. "The company is successful on a national basis and expanding rapidly. If I go to work at another HMG program, all my equity will carry over."
How employers are responding
Because physicians are in the driver's seat as far as recruitment, the key concerns of hospitalists are beginning to shape the job market.
According to Regina Levison, president of Levison Search Associates, whose Northern California search firm is part of an 11-firm national recruitment partnership called First Choice, programs that want to compete-whether they're in-house or contract companies-are realizing that a major concern of physicians is the number of hours they have to work as hospitalists.
That puts programs needing physicians to fill more hours at a disadvantage. "One client right now requires 144 hours a month, which is a lot," Ms. Levison says. "Those opportunities are more challenging to recruit."
Many of today's recruits are also looking for a full complement of benefits, she says, which can be a stumbling block for smaller local hospitalist groups or small multispecialty practices. Ms. Levison notes that many of these groups, in an effort to keep expenses down, have offered barebone benefits, something they may no longer be able to do and be competitive.
Security above pay
Ms. Levison says she sees another trend among hospitalists: Many say they want the security of a paycheck with a productivity bonus, but none of the headaches associated with running a business. "They want to come to work, work their shifts and that's it," she explains.
As today's job-seekers become increasingly savvy about issues like staffing and retention, recruiters predict that other changes may be on the horizon. Sean Crosswhite, vice president of hospital-based recruiting for Merritt, Hawkins & Associates, a national recruiting firm, says that when it comes to hospital-employee groups, for instance, hospitalists are asking better questions.
Across the board, says Mr. Crosswhite, physicians are very well versed in both the internal and external challenges that programs face. And those physicians who are motivated enough to change jobs are scrutinizing potential positions closely.
"They want to know about a hospital's plans for recruitment, the local politics and if the group has had a 'revolving door,' " Mr. Crosswhite says. "Are physicians leaving and if so, why?"
And when interviewing for positions offered by a group with an outsourced model, physicians have the same targeted concerns. They want to know how long the company has had the contract, he says, when is it up for renewal and if the hospital administration is shopping that contract around.
A ripple effect?
Ms. Levison wonders whether hospitalists, who are a relatively young group of physicians, will begin to demand more positions that offer partnership or an equity stake in the program as they mature into mid-careers. But she is certain that faced with such a tight recruiting market, hospitals will have to devote even more funds to hospitalist programs in the form of higher salaries.
Some experts wonder whether that trend will have a ripple effect on the specialty. If hospitals have to pay more for hospitalist salaries, the thinking goes, will hospitals that now outsource the management of their program try to bring those programs in-house?
Or will rising physician salaries mean that hospitals will want to make sure programs are well-managed-so will turn in growing numbers to either local or multistate groups?
"Hospitals with hospitalist programs will graduate to focusing on quality," Ms. Levison says. "They will be particularly interested in companies that have systems to track quality issues."

orvis madison reels
Can anyone tell me anything about these older orvis madison reels made by flueger? Are they any good? I thought about putting one on a fiberglass rod but wanted to know if they were any good. Mainly for bluegill and vintage looks?
Old Reel
I have a Madison 7/8 that I still use for my sinking line. I believe it is equivalent to the Orvis Battenkill that they are selling now for $79. My old Madison was $50 as I recall. As long as all the parts are there it should be just fine. After 20 years, the only bad thing to happen tomine is that the drag knob fell off.
Thanks. This is a 70's model and I was just wanting it for a vintage style reel for a cane rod.
I fish one of those on an old madison rod, and I've not had any problems with it. My dad used to use it on an old bluegill rig. It's a great reel. Mine's been through a lot and it's held up really well. Mine's a 7/8, and I'm pretty sure it was from the era when Pflueger was making them. Cool reel. You can find them on ebay pretty often, and they aren't terribly expensive.

An unusual 'I do' on 'As the World Turns'
BY carolyn hinsey
Thursday, July 31st 2008, 5:27 PM
Emily asks the much younger Casey to marry her today on "As the World Turns," setting off a chain of events that lands her in the hospital.
"Emily hears this squinkling of a girl say, 'Is that your girlfriend? She's a cougar!'" says Kelley Menighan Hensley, who plays the not-so-blushing bride. "I think that has something to do with it. Emily just gets the urge to have Casey all to herself and take the plunge."
He says yes, and they head for the airport.
"Apparently, you can do this in St. Louis without a waiting period," says Hensley). "So they jump on a plane and go get married."
There's more to this than meets the eye, because Rick Decker has drugged Emily.
"They end up at a hotel, of course, and consummate the marriage many times," says Hensley. "Emily comes out of her stupor after the fact, when he refers to her as 'Mrs. Casey Hughes.' She's like, 'What did you just say?' Then she sees the ring on her finger and loses it. She immediately says it has to be annulled."
No way, says the groom.
"He had all of his faculties when he agreed to marry her, but it's like she had a blackout. The fact that she's saying 'I was not in my right mind when I made this decision' is hurtful to him. He doesn't understand it. They have a very long, silent flight back." Once home, "she struggles with the fact that, yes, she does love him. But does she want to be married to him, or anybody else for that matter? No."
While Emily struggles with her marriage next week, Casey's mom, Margo, gets wind of it and heads over to blast her. But she finds Emily collapsed on the floor and has to rush her to Memorial, leading to a Rick Decker-led hostage situation in the coming weeks.
And then ... "Grayson's coming back!' says Hensley, referring to pal and former co-star Grayson McCouch, who played Emily's love Dusty Donovan.
"I shouldn't say this, because Billy [Magnussen, who plays Casey] is like, 'Thanks a lot!' but Grayson's my guy. We have such unfinished business on this show."
He'll return Sept. 24.

I definitely think it's pukeworthy - and that's even ignoring the fact that she's already slept with his dad and two of his uncles (Chris and Craig).

It seems that Farrar is having a problem with a troll. The troll is getting stroppy.
UPDATE: Todd says he was going to expose me to the media, but when I blogged his complaint letter so the media could see it, he then decided he did not want it public and filed a copyright complaint with my ISP. Hence I have removed most of his e-mail from the post. The remaining sections fall under fair use provisions.
So in the interests of exposing the stroppy troll and his poor behaviour I now post the troll's email to DPF that I got out of the Google cache and because aw my post, and unlike DPF I'm not a chicken. Sunlight is always the best disinfectant.
I can't hardly wait for the troll to try and attack me.

From "Proof of Marriage"
I know they were married, but I cannot find it. They had to get married; after all they had children. Well . . . not necessarily. Usually a marriage precedes the children. It is finding the record of that marriage that sometimes creates headaches for the genealogist.
Genealogists should begin their search for a marriage record with the local civil records office (usually at the county or the town level) near where the couple lived early in their marriage and near where their first child was born. The records of the church of which the couple was a member should also be searched (if applicable).
The rest of this 2005 article can be viewed on my website.
Proof of Marriage ran on Ancestry.com in 2005, back when my column was called "Beyond the Index." I like Casefile Clues better.

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a systemic, progressive, and fatal condition affecting almost exclusively women in their reproductive years. LAM most often occurs as a sporadic disease, but also occurs in women with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) (syndromic LAM). There are no pathologic differences between sporadic and syndromic LAM. Sporadic LAM is a rare disease with prevalence of approximately 1 to 2 cases per million women in the United States and among populations of white descent, and is even rarer among Asian and African individuals. Syndromic LAM affects 4% to 5% of women with TSC. Sporadic LAM is often found also in association with renal angiomyolipoma, the most common sign of TSC, but LAM associated with angiomyolipoma does not define TSC. Although LAM is not diagnostic for TSC either in isolation or in association with angiomyolipoma, still it is considered by some researchers as an incomplete expression (forme fruste) of TSC. LAM may involve the lungs and the axial lymphatics and lymph nodes of the thorax and retroperitoneum. In sporadic LAM, thoracic, intraabdominal, and cervical lymph nodes can be involved with or without lung involvement. The diagnosis of LAM is often delayed. A case of LAM in a young lady, which was complicated with pleural and peritoneal chylous effusions, is presented. The diagnosis was first made on a retroperitoneal lymph node biopsy. The patient had a prolonged prior history of respiratory problems owing to lung involvement, and eventually died 2 years after diagnosis. Focus on the clinicopathologic diagnosis of TSC is also made.

We can now clearly see SHINee's pinpoint, accurate, and sharp dance moves and they move so lightly on their feet while dancing. It's amazing just how they are in sync they are, even three years after their debut. Beautiful.

Social Media Apps
There are several types of social media apps with different purposes such as:
Social media application development is however not an easy task and thus requires a specific skill set to undertake successfully. Knowledge of the Facebook API and development platform is essential in order to properly utilize the different aspects of the social media network and properly leverage the viral hooks found within it.
Facebook applications are a type of social media apps but are not the only ones. Other platforms such as Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn and more also have development platforms, but none as detailed and successful as Facebook.
Social App Development
Social media app development has been acknowledged as a potential game changing phenomena by the digital marketing & advertising industry. Initially, brands and companies have incorporated social media promotion as part of marketing and advertising, but it soon evolved as a separate ideology. Social media marketing enables brands and companies to focus on monetization, brand awareness, and user engagement through social media apps. Brands and companies always look for digital agencies with a reputation as a social app development company. Cygnis Media has evolved as one of the leading social media app developer in the last couple of years. We have worked with reputable brands for their social media promotion. We developed 28 apps last year alone. Our expertise in social media app development gives us an edge over other digital agencies which lack quality portfolio and social app developer team. We bring new and fresh social media ideas, that could totally rock your social media presence. Oreo Land, NFL, Samsung, and Cadbury are just the few examples of our brilliant social app development skills.
Social Media Apps Developer
With 28 social media apps in last year, we have been the first choice of the world's leading brands and products for their social media app builder. This was only possible through our unique approach towards social app development and our brilliant team of social media app developers. Social media development has become an integral part of brands and companies social media presence. We have been awarded for our winning experience in Facebook app development and that will be a huge boost for any brand's social media promotion.

Stefon Harris, David Sánchez & Christian Scott's 'Ninety Miles' Project
Young Cuban players and three yanks in a thrilling cultural exchange
When Concord Records suggested to vibraphonist Stefon Harris, tenor saxophonist David Sánchez and trumpeter Christian Scott that they record together, the three musicians were immediately amenable to the idea. Although they'd never collaborated before, they were well aware of and admired each other's work, and felt the possibility was strong that some righteous, unique music would emerge.
Then the label's reps, Executive VP/Head of A&R John Burk and Senior Director of A&R Chris Dunn, hit them with part two of the proposal: They would make this recording in Cuba with local musicians and play a gig in Havana while they were there. In addition, the weeklong experience would be filmed for a documentary. Suddenly, what might have been an exhilarating session in New York had become something else: a very rare and deep cross-cultural exchange. The result is Ninety Miles (Concord Picante), recorded in May 2010 at Havana's legendary EGREM studios with young Cuban pianists Rember Duharte and Harold López-Nussa and their bands. A DVD featuring "sneak peeks" from the film, which has received limited screenings in the U.S., accompanies the nine-track CD. "All three of us jumped at the chance of making a record," says Scott, who is at 28 the youngest of the ad hoc trio. "It's not very often that you get asked to do a record with guys you actually want to play with. But as soon as they said Cuba, I said, 'Yeah, that's cool.'"
Due to bureaucratic red tape between the governments and the musicians' busy schedules, planning took more than a year. Although all but Scott had material to contribute (the trumpeter was exhausted after writing 33 tracks for a trilogy he plans to release), there was no discussion between the American and the Cuban artists prior to their initial meeting. "We had no idea how the record was going to turn out," says Harris, "but I actually thrive in those types of settings. It's really about the connection between human beings. It was an interesting dynamic even going through the rehearsal process. So much can be said with notes alone."
Both Sánchez, 43, who grew up in Puerto Rico, and the Albany, N.Y.-born Harris, 38, speak Spanish, so communication came easily. Once the players got down to business, ideas meshed. "When we started playing it was very spontaneous," says Sánchez. "We did write some music so it wasn't all improvisation, but we didn't know what they were writing, so it was a true experiment."
"It was really a matter of everybody being open-minded and creative and allowing the record to reveal itself," adds Harris.
The results are a seamless confluence of classic Afro-Cuban ideas filtered through contemporary New Orleans and New York jazz sensibilities. Intricate yet relentlessly in the groove, the material is tightly arranged while allowing each of the five co-leaders to express freely. Duharte's opening "Ñengueleru" is a polyrhythmic feast, bass- and piano-propelled and colored by a dynamic Sánchez solo. "Brown Belle Blues," written specifically by Harris for the López-Nussa ensemble to perform, allots ample solo time to Scott and Harris, and Sánchez's moody but nevertheless celebratory "City Sunrise" was, says the writer, inspired by Cameroonian music. "It's very African and has nothing to do with Cuba," he says. "I just wrote it for the project and shaped it up according to the concept."
Musically, things flowed; technologically, not so much. The Americans, accustomed to state-of-the-art recording equipment, found themselves confronted with antiquated gear that didn't always cooperate. "I must say, that was one of the challenges we faced," says Sánchez. "The equipment wasn't really happening. You would hear a constant crackling in your headphones. It's amazing how it came together."
Similarly, when the crew convened at Havana's Amadeo Roldán Theater for the sole live date of the trip, the Americans quickly learned that certain amenities of home were not to be taken for granted. "It's an old theater and there's not enough ventilation, and the air conditioner was broken," says Sánchez. "We were suffocating! But the energy was such that we just kept on going."
Harris concurs. "It was about 110 degrees," he says. "If you look at the video footage, you'll see we're drenched. But the audience celebrated every bit of energy we put forward, and it really was a special feeling."
Ultimately, what the trio took away from the experience, more than anything else, was a sense that music is integral to the lives of the Cuban people. "Music, in Cuba, is more than just something you sit and watch onstage," says Harris. "It's related to the way that people walk, to the food that they cook. It was nice to be in an environment like that, artistically."
That feeling was contagious, adds the New Orleans-born Scott, whose first trip to Cuba came when he was a 14-year-old in a band led by his uncle, saxophonist Donald Harrison. "I've learned through my experience that it doesn't matter whether someone is a Communist or a Socialist or a fuckin' Tea Partier," he says. "At the end of the day, if a person is willing to be honest and vulnerable in a situation where you're making music, you'll find you have more in common with people from other cultures than you don't have in common. I just appreciate the opportunity to be able to give some more validity to that."

Green cleaners are strengthening their formulas and their price focus
GREEN CLEANING COMPANIES WANT TO WIPE away any misperceptions: They're just as tough on germs and dirt as any conventional line, and their prices are pretty good, too.

According to data from SPINS, sales of natural household cleaning products in the conventional retail channel have increased 53% since 2007, to nearly $250 million. Most of that growth came before the recession hit. But still, the ...

Too many work the system for assistance
When is welfare going broke?
We hear on the news daily that our government is running out of money, social security is going broke, Medicare is going broke and we can't fund the VA to give the benefits to our vets. Have you ever heard a politician talk about our welfare programs going broke, why not?
Is it because if the politicians give free stuff to people that will get them re-elected? Children like Christmas because they get "free stuff" when Santa Clause comes? Unfortunately our elected officials have developed the Santa Clause model to a fine art at the taxpayers' expense.
What made America the great country that it is, where immigrants are knocking down the doors to get in? Was it hard work, free enterprise, private initiative and aspirations for moral virtues? Or do we have a society that no longer desires the values of America? Have we created a society of dependence and the job is to work the system for free stuff? The politicians have created a system of "free stuff" that makes it more profitable to stay on the dole rather than work for a living wage. Is there a mass exodus to go to socialist countries or are we that socialist country?
We need to help people in need as the Bible teaches us to be benevolent, but it also teaches us if we give a man a fish we feed him for a day, but if we teach him to fish, we feed him forever. America has given everyone who has been born in or immigrated to America an opportunity to succeed or fail in pursuing that individual's goal. If we fail along the way to our goal we use that as a learning experience and move on toward our goal. Failure is not an excuse to give up and let others support us.
Call your elected officials and ask them when is welfare going broke?

Chuck Klosterman's recent column for the New York times magazine misses the mark. Mr. Klosterman seems unaware of how the majority of U.S. food cupboards – also known as food pantries – operate.
By Joshua Rivera
Yesterday, at a City Hall press conference the Lunch 4 Learning coalition, accompanied by a group of elected officials, presented a letter and signed petitions calling on the next mayor to institute free lunch for all New York City public school students. Eighty-eight organizations and thousands of individuals signed on to urge the next mayor's administration to adopt universal school meals.
Sequester Stays for Infant and Women's Nutrition, Head Start, Food Pantries & Kitchens
The following is a statement by Joel Berg, Executive Director of the New York City Coalition Against Hunger:
We received the below letter from a man in Georgia in response to a brief and out of context appearance our Executive Director Joel Berg made on a Fox special about Food Stamps.
Dear Mr. Berg,
Just like president Obama, you are a liar.
I have worked all my life, I am a Vietnam veteran, I pay taxes, and I resent your recruiting able but lazy people to apply for food stamps they do not need or deserve. If you want to be a socialist, move to Europe. Don't try to socialize America.
Shame on you.
