Just what the job of Atherton's Environmental Programs Committee should be, and how much the town is willing to pay to put the committee's programs into action, will be the main topic of discussion when Atherton's City Council meets Wednesday, Jan. 13 at 4 p.m. in the town's council chambers at 94 Ashfield Road.
The Environmental Programs Committee has proposed three main projects: a climate action plan to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases produced by the town, a home energy and water-use reduction program, and an annual Earth Day event.
The climate action plan will not be on the table on Wednesday because the council has asked a consultant to come back with more information on the committee's proposal, including the costs of the plan, both to the town to regulate and the homeowner to implement.
But the council will consider the committee's request to resurrect a program called Atherton 2020 that would help Atherton residents reduce water and energy use by providing home energy audits and online tools and information. The project is projected to cost $9,000 for the energy audits and $10,000 to $20,000 for the website.
The committee is also asking for permission to start planning for an Earth Day event on April 22.
Members of the environmental committee are Valerie Gardner, Holly Joseph, Janet Larson, Frank Merrill and Jasenka Rakas. Mayor Elizabeth Lewis is the council liaison to the committee.

Excess of wealth is the real death of any soul
the excess of wealth is not poison, if it is linked to spiritual line.
A poor fellow was a disciple of Shri Akkalkot Maharaj. Shri Maharaj took that fellow to a forest and showed an abode of snakes. Shri Maharaj asked him to take two snakes in to his bag. The disciple took two snakes with lot of fear and took them to his house. When he opened the bag, both the snakes were found to be two rods of gold. What is the message of this story? Shri Maharaj was the human incarnation of Lord Datta and was called as Samartha Sadguru, which means that He was the capable human form of the Lord appearing as the preacher. Hence, the message must be very capable. The message of Lord Datta in this story is that the excess of money indicated by the abode of snakes is very harmful like the poisonous snakes. Nobody can escape the poisonous bite of a cluster of snakes.
The poison is the ego that is injected in to the human brain due to excess money, which kills the life. Here the life is the spiritual life.

text: Instant Karma Take three travelers, a nation of Buddhists, and one unfortunate rodent. Add a forbidden journey and a dark childhood secret, and you could have the time of your lives. By: Mark Jenkins Jun 1, 2000 Jun 1, 2000 Outside Magazine Share This Facebook Icon Share Twitter Icon Tweet Pinterest Icon Pinterest SMS Text Email Icon Email That night we camped in the bleak medieval village of Tseqgu. Brigitte danced among the snot-faced urchins practicing her Tibetan until they clutched our fingers with their callused, dirt-blackened hands and pulled us into a tiny stone hut. We had to stoop and could see almost nothing in the dim light. We were led through an indoor pen separating the goats and sheep from the humans but allowing the animals' body heat to half-warm the cramped black space. An old man plunging a yak-butter churn with gnarled hands greeted us and invited us to sit on a dirt bench beside a red-glowing hearth. Steaming red potatoes were poured into a basket on the floor and the children squatted on their haunches and wiped green mucus across their red cheeks and we all ate together. The next morning there were three inches of snow on the ground. While we were packing up our tents a shivering, barefoot boy, ragged and filthy and carrying a water jug heavier than himself, passed our tents. I looked at Maury. "OK, mate," he said. "If it's bothering you so much, this is what I believe: Every thought, every word, every action produces karma. Our karma carries on from life to life. It's a spiritual progression. Bit by bit, act by act, life after life, we create our own karma. Acts of kindness in this life beget gifts of kindness in the next. Acts of cruelty in this life beget suffering in the next. It's self-fulfilling retribution and reward. It's a spiritual quest for learning, and we all have a choice as to what path we will take." Brigitte asked Maury how the actions of others affected an individual's karma. "Depends on how you respond," he said. "It's up to you." In the honey light of late afternoon we reached the forlorn but still magnificent Chokorgyel Monastery. Chokorgyel was built in one of the ancient geomantic hot spots of Tibet—a vast triangular plain at the confluence of three rivers and surrounded by three mountains symbolizing a perfect harmony of three elements: earth, water, and air. The monastery's castlelike walls form an equilateral triangle, a quarter-mile to a side. Gendun Gyatso, the second Dalai Lama, founded the monastery in 1509 as a place of rest and worship for those making the pilgrimage to Lhamo Latso. We popped up our tents outside the walls of the monastery, across the vast triangular commons from the black wool tents of the Tibetan nomads. Lion-dogs—immense mastiffs with the solid bodies of rottweilers but the matted coats and lion ruffs of chows—were staked outside these tents, barking themselves hoarse. The Chokorgyel Monastery was razed by the Junggar Mongols in 1718, rebuilt, and destroyed again by the Chinese in 1959. Inside the walls were the beheaded skeletons of hundreds of stone buildings, including several temples. Before the tanks and dynamite, there were 500 monks at Chokorgyel; now, we discovered, there were only two: an old man and a young man living amid the ruins, quiet and transparent as spirits. They thought we were pilgrims—and we were, although I didn't know it then. To reach Lhamo Latso, they told us, you follow the wide stone path leading northeast from the monastery. We would find our way. Filed To: The Hard Way, Tibet From Outside Magazine, Jun 2000 Share This Facebook Icon Share Twitter Icon Tweet Pinterest Icon Pinterest SMS Text Email Icon Email

Redefining the paradigm for health IT interfaces
- 09/30/2016
Electronic health records (EHRs) are the backbone of health IT infrastructure, but they can't be all things to all people. For truly connected communities of health, EHRs must talk with other applications and solutions. Integrating separate technologies has not always been easy. Traditionally, these projects require committee meetings and complicated interfaces that can take months, or even years, to complete. Allscripts has redefined the paradigm for health IT interfaces. With an open platform, clients can customize their EHRs in a matter of weeks, days – and lately, even minutes. Rapid installations at Allscripts annual user group conference At the Allscripts Client Experience (ACE) 2016 conference held in August, we didn't just talk to our users about the technologies available on Allscripts Application Store. We actually activated about a dozen applications for our clients during the event – in fact, one […]
5 interoperability findings you should know
- 09/28/2016
Our industry is swirling with health data exchange initiatives to enable better population health management. Everyone understands that an open, collaborative approach will help us achieve the promise of interoperability. But to shape successful efforts, it's important to take a step back and look at available research on interoperability. What does the evidence tell us about factors that will lead to population health success? The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) offers many helpful resources. Two ONC data briefs* offer compelling facts and figures that should shape our interoperability efforts, including the following research about U.S. hospitals: 1) 46% of hospitals have access to electronic patient data, from sources outside their clinical systems, at the point of care This is the national average in 2015, which is up from 41% in 2014. This research also shows […]
Primary care practice earns recognition for population health management

Briefing Congress on health IT innovation
- 09/16/2016
This week I testified before the United States House of Representatives. It was an honor to represent the healthcare IT industry and share how innovations are driving efficiencies and improvements. Here are excerpts from that testimony: Despite some bumps in the road, as can be expected in times of change, there have been huge leaps forward in our industry in recent years that never would have happened had Congress not provided the impetus for ubiquitous adoption of electronic health records (EHRs). These changes have disrupted paper systems that stood for decades, and the result is a new digital ecosystem of caregivers, software developers and patients, allowing all to take a fresh look at how processes can be enhanced via automation. Fortunately, following disruption, there is innovation and opportunity. Allow me to provide a few examples: Allscripts dbMotion™ interoperability platform brings […]

4 ways to reclaim the claims process
In an era when the healthcare community is working to improve quality of service and delivery and to reduce costs, the reimbursement process is under intense scrutiny. Organizations are asking themselves: How can we simplify the claims process? Are there ways to save time? What can we do to make our claims more accurate to help speed payments? In a series of recent case studies, three clients have shared their experiences using Allscripts Payerpath® Solutions to reclaim their claims processes. Here are four examples: 1) Collect more patient payments Patient payments are the fastest growing portion of many providers' revenue streams. Unfortunately, according to the American Hospital Association, as much as 5.3% of expenses are written off each year as uncompensated care, representing $42.8 billion in losses. One of the ways Burton Creek Rural Clinic (West Plains, Missouri, U.S.A.) is […]
In defense of necessary clicks: The science behind usability
- 09/01/2016
If there's one thing we know about EHRs, users hate clicks. And for good reason. Clicking and scrolling historically have represented extra time, effort and evidence of not understanding an efficient workflow. Click reduction is often cited as the best way to improve electronic health record (EHR) usability. Our gut instinct tells us that we should do everything we can to reduce clicks. Yes, unnecessary steps are annoying and should be removed. But we have to be careful that we don't actually increase cognitive load, hinder decision making and reduce overall efficiency and satisfaction in our zeal to reduce clicks and scrolling. There is a great deal of research available that should guide the design, implementation and customization of EHR interfaces. In the evidence-based practice of medicine, scientific evidence should also guide Health IT usability decisions. Some of these known […]

How Much Does Slabjacking Cost?
|Need a pro near you? Get multiple quotes for free online. Get your quote now >>
Slabjacking is a procedure used to repair concrete in a driveway or sidewalk. The ground beneath the pavement needs to be level and compact; otherwise, the concrete can begin to crack, sink, or even break completely. If you look at any concrete driveway or sidewalk, you will see that the concrete was laid in square sections, known as slabs. When one of these slabs begins to sink, slabjacking can be done to resolve the problem. This is a process where holes are drilled in the concrete slab and the holes that were drilled will be filled with a special mixture that can lift the slab. Slabjacking can be a lot cheaper than replacing the slabs completely.
How much does slabjacking cost?
- The cost of slabjacking will depend on the number of slabs that need to be raised, the contractor performing the job and geographical location. On average, the prices can widely range anywhere from $100 to $300 per hole they have to drill. A simple driveway job can range anywhere from $2,000 to $3,500. To put things into perspective, take a look at each slab that needs to be raised. For each uneven slab, plan on spending at least $100.
- Most if not all contractors will not give an outright price for the project since they will need to survey the area first and check the damage on the slab before they give you a price. But there are companies willing to show how much they charge for the service. For instance, 1866slabjack.com is one of the many companies out there that offer slabjacking services in Washington. They serve the western area of Washington and have a long reputation for the great service that they provide. The cost to have a concrete slab jacked by this company can range anywhere from $2,000 to $3,000.
- In the state of Oregon, you can find different construction projects that will give you an idea regarding the cost to have a concrete slabjacked. According to the website of the state of Oregon, a big slabjacking project that takes 11 hours to accomplish can start at $4,000. The site indicates that the contractor will determine project costs by applying a unit price per kilogram of the injected material.
What is going to be included?
- The contractor that will perform the slab jacking will have his own equipment to use to guarantee that the job is accomplished. He will also provide the mixture that will be injected into the holes in the slab.
- During the procedure, small holes around an inch and a half in diameter will be drilled in the center of the concrete slab. Once drilled, the concrete will be pumped with a filler to bring it back to a leveled surface. Most jobs can be completed within a day.
What are the extra costs?
- Before you can have your concrete slabs injected, you will need to have the area inspected so the contractors will know where they should drill holes and inject the mixture that they have. The inspection can be done by another contractor or by the same people that will perform the procedure. Depending on the company, some often charge a consultation fee.
Tips to know:
- Before you consider replacing the whole concrete slab, make sure that you have the area checked first and see if slabjacking is an alternative since you can save a lot compared to the total replacement solution. There may be times when a contractor recommends a complete driveway replacement. See: "How much does a concrete driveway cost?"
How can I save money?
- To be able to save money, you will need to make sure that you check with each contractor that performs the job in your area and compare their prices. Select the contractor that can provide the best service at the lowest price. To help you with this process, try using great services such as ServiceMagic.com.
- Remember, using a process such slabjacking can already save you more than 30% to 80% since it is a lot cheaper than replacing an entire driveway.
- If you notice your driveway beginning to sink, try to have it repaired immediately. The longer you wait, the more severe the problem becomes. This means that your price will be even higher. You may also be able to stop the sinking from happening to other slabs in your driveway.

That special relationship
Robert Novak
11/29/2001 12:00:00 AM - Robert Novak
WASHINGTON -- On his Concorde dash to Washington early this month, British Prime Minister Tony Blair did more than plot anti-terrorism strategy with George W. Bush. He made a pitch behind closed doors for the becalmed alliance between American Airlines and British Airways. All signs are that he succeeded. President Bush and his chief of staff, Andrew Card, made clear that priority for the war against terrorism will not stall the AA-BA deal. What's really important is that the fix is in to override normal regulatory procedures, keeping the Justice Department's Antitrust Division from intervening in the Transportation Department's approval process. American Airlines' hard-pressed U.S. competitors complain they would be shut out of London's close-in Heathrow Airport -- a devastating economic blow. At this writing, those airlines cannot even get a hearing with Andy Card, much less the president. So, the U.S.-U.K. special relationship is more special for some people than others. Blair did not spring the airline deal by surprise. Weeks earlier, Card received a transatlantic telephone call from Jonathan Powell, his counterpart in London. He wanted assurance that the AA-BA deal did not get trapped by the Transportation Department's post-Sept. 11 preoccupation with security. The two airlines want Transportation to grant American and British Air immunity from U.S. antitrust prosecution so they can operate as a single merged airline. The prime minister raised the issue in his private session with the president, and the response pleased him mightily. The word passed to London and bounced back to Washington. According to this account, when Bush turned to Card and ordered: "Look into it," his chief of staff responded: "It's something we have to do." "I think that's an overstatement," Card told me when I related the British account. But not really much of an overstatement. "I said," Card went on, "that this would not be a problem." As a former secretary of Transportation, Card knows the airline business inside out. Card told me he then telephoned Deputy Secretary of Transportation Michael Jackson to inform him "we should be able to solve this as well as the security problem." A sub-Cabinet member does not ignore word from the White House chief of staff, especially since Jackson was Card's chief of staff at Transportation during the first Bush administration. A reliable aviation industry source said Jackson then contacted Deputy Attorney General Larry Thompson and allegedly instructed the Justice Department not to intervene in proceedings brought by Continental, Delta and Northwest seeking to block the AA-BA deal. Jackson told me that he had conversations with Thompson but did not ask Justice to stay out of the case. Nevertheless, he confirmed to me that Justice is not intervening. Thompson told me he had no such conversations at all with Jackson. Blair might have rejoiced that the special relationship paid off with such U.S. support, but the prime minister should be aware that the congressional system is a lot different than the parliamentary system. Competing airlines are mobilizing their allies to pressure the Bush administration. That includes governors of states served by airlines who see their ruin in the Anglo-American agreement. Bush's longtime ally, Michigan Gov. John Engler, wrote Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta, saying his state "cannot afford" this deal. Twenty-two senators sent the same message to Mineta and Secretary of State Colin Powell. Teamsters President James P. Hoffa ("on behalf of the 50,000 Teamsters employees in the airline industry"), asked that consideration be suspended "until a more appropriate time." Last week, the Democratic chairman and senior Republican on the Senate Antitrust subcommittee asked the Justice Department not to abandon its normal oversight. Michael E. Levine, a Harvard law professor and pioneer in airline deregulation, submitted a paper at his own initiative urging that "as agreements that create quasi-firms, alliances ought to be subjected to antitrust standards." The AA-BA arrangement in conjunction with the United Airlines-British Midland alliance "will dramatically reduce actual and potential competition in most markets between London Heathrow and the United States." Andy Card told me he assured the British that the AA-BA deal "will not fall through the cracks." That suggests a quid pro quo for Prime Minister Blair's war effort, as it surely circumvents the federal regulatory process.

Dead Rising 2 features a return to Fortune City but this time with a twist. What if Frank West, the photojournalist and hero from the original Wilamette tragedy, was the main character in Fortune City instead of Chuck Greene from the original Dead Rising 2? Off the Record places players in control of Frank West as he takes the place of Chuck Greene in the Fortune City zombie outbreak. The story changes a bit (with extra bosses and other features) and there is an entirely new area (a theme park) for Frank to explore in Fortune City.
Just like in the original Dead Rising, Frank West can use his camera to take pictures of zombies and other events to gain extra Prestige Points (PP). Off the Record mixes up the missions to keep things feeling fresh and there are some new events as well. On top of the extras, there is also an extra sandbox mode where players can complete challenges. Both the main campaign and the extra mode have co-op play - one player will play as Frank West and the other will play as Chuck Greene.

Leftovers: Ducks shake out of fog without starsNovember 6th, 2014, 10:05 am by ERIC STEPHENS
ANAHEIM – Some notes, quotes and other musings from the Ducks' 3-2 overtime home loss to the New York Islanders on Wednesday night …
-- It was quite apparent that the Ducks looked quite lost without their two-headed monster of Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry before they accepted that neither was joining them on the ice at some point and decided to take to the offensive.
Matt Beleskey's power-play goal in the second period gave them emotional spark that they needed. It was a different Ducks team after that as it forced Islanders goalie Jaroslav Halak to make some timely saves and keep his team in position to win after it grabbed a 2-0 lead.
The flu bug saddled both Getzlaf and Perry to the point that neither was close to being available. Perry came to Honda Center before the game but was sent home, while Getzlaf never made it to the rink in the afternoon.Read the rest of this entry »

Flying By The Seat Of Our Pants?
If we were to ask a brain surgeon, what is your approach just after a procedure begins; it is unlikely their response would be along these lines:
We basically just figure it out as we go along, hoping our intuition will produce a favorable result.
Financial Markets Are Complex Organisms
Just as the human brain is an extremely complex organ, the financial markets have an almost infinite number of factors that ultimately determine the value of our investment portfolios. Therefore, it is unlikely that "figuring it out as we go along" will produce favorable investment outcomes. In the present day, there are numerous and somewhat conflicting signals. On the bullish end of the spectrum, growth in the United States appears to be picking up and the Fed has been extremely accommodative. However, the economic bears can point to low inflation in Europe (fear of deflation) and rising prices in the United States that may force the Fed's hand.
Investors Need A Consistent Approach
While we are not brain surgeons, our guess is that surgery involves somewhat of a "flow chart" or "if, then" approach. For example, if bleeding needs to be contained, then there are specific steps to address the unfavorable situation. An investment risk management plan works in a similar manner by having specific and executable strategies that follow an "if the market does this, then we will do this" script. A recent bullish example surfaced on June 8 as observable evidence began to surface in equities favor. The evidence allowed for a prudent "bump up" to the growth side (NYSEARCA:SPY) of our portfolios.
Earnings Coming Soon
One of the most important factors impacting investment values is corporate earnings. Earnings season is right around the corner and expectations have been rising in recent weeks. From Reuters:
Many factors point to second-quarter earnings poised to surprise substantially to the upside. There is a slight chance that profits for S&P 500 companies could return to double-digit growth for the first time in nearly three years. After Thursday's strong U.S. employment report, some economists have begun talking up prospects for a 4.0 percent annual growth rate in gross domestic product for the April-through-June period, a dramatic snap back from the first quarter's contraction of 2.9 percent. "It's a strong report that capped off a strong quarter. Everything in the report points to 4 percent growth in the second quarter," said Stuart Hoffman, chief economist at PNC Financial Services in Pittsburgh, referring to June's jobs data.
IMF May Lower Global Forecast
While the news in the United States has been improving, the International Monetary Fund hinted at the possibility of lowering their forecast for global growth. From Bloomberg via Yahoo Finance:
International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde signaled a cut in the institution's global growth forecasts, saying investment is still weak and that risks remain in the U.S. even as its rebound accelerates. "The global economy is gathering speed, though the pace may be a bit less than we previously predicted because the growth potential is lower and investment" spending remains lackluster, Lagarde told the Cercle des Economistes conference in Aix-en-Provence, France.
A Bearish If Then Plan
The big picture for stocks looks favorable, but we all know things can change. Therefore, it is prudent to have your bearish flow diagram in place while the sun is still shining on the economic and stock market bulls. The topic of managing risk in a mature bull market was covered in detail on January 17.
Fed Could Spoil Bullish Party
The Fed is and has been extremely helpful to equity investors. Inflation could change that. Since part of the Fed's dual mandate is price stability, recent developments on the inflation front, especially food prices, needs to be monitored with a prudent dose of concern. From The Wall Street Journal:
As Fed officials debate when to start raising short-term interest rates to prevent the economy from overheating and causing inflation, Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen has signaled she wants to take her time. Broad measures of inflation have been running below the Fed's 2% target for more than two years, but show signs of picking up. And the unemployment rate has fallen to 6.1% from 7.5% a year ago, which suggests that slack in the labor market is diminishing and the risk of overheating is gradually rising. A broad rise in inflation would be an added signal that the time to move on rates is nearing. That is putting pressure on the Fed to separate food inflation signals from noise…Ms. Yellen noted in her most recent news conference that inflation readings have been "a bit on the high side" lately, but warned "the data that we're seeing is noisy." But divisions are emerging on this question. "I don't think the past few months are entirely noise," Richmond Fed President Jeffrey Lacker retorted after a June 26 speech in Lynchburg, Va.
Investment Implications
Monday's "give back" in stocks falls into the normal volatility category. Even with Monday's weakness, the bullish look of the stock vs. bond (NYSEARCA:AGG) chart below, as described in detail on June 25, remains intact.
When the evidence shifts in a material manner, we are happy to make the necessary defensive adjustments. For now, even with Monday's weakness, the evidence calls for ongoing exposure to U.S. stocks (NYSEARCA:VTI) and leading market sectors, such as technology (NASDAQ:QQQ). You may say, "I don't need a systematic approach, I can rely on the experts at the firm I work with". That may be the case, but as covered on June 27, Wall Street experts were not particularly helpful in terms of predicting bearish outcomes in 2008.

Possibly one of the most emotional animated scenes in cinema history. It really is so sad to see Jessie's story!
This entry was posted on December 30, 2013 by Caz. It was filed under Musical Moments and was tagged with Disney, Musical Moments, Toy Story 2, When She Loved Me.
This is so sad…Although I prefer Toy Story 1 and 3, the second part had great moments.
December 30, 2013 at 1:07 pm
Yeah isn't it just awful, makes you feel so sad.
December 30, 2013 at 4:06 pm
If you didn't cry at this, you have no soul. Also proves how you don't need dialogue to create great movie moments.

Secretary's Column: The Millions of Jobs Supported by Rural America
Every day I am reminded of the many ways in which the work of rural America impacts all of us. Rural America provides us with a clean environment, opportunities to get outdoors, greater energy security, and a safe and abundant food supply that's the envy of the world. From our smallest towns to our biggest cities, work ongoing today in rural America has a tremendously positive effect for the United States.
Perhaps most important, rural America is driving job growth across our nation.
Last year, the agriculture sector and its related industries directly provided more than 16 million American jobs, the highest number since 2008. Many of these jobs are in rural America – while other agriculture-related jobs, from food manufacturing to textile work, are supporting millions of families in our cities. Read more »

Pharrell is everywhere. He stole the show at the Grammy's (or rather his hat did), and his song from Despicable Me 2, "Happy", is bringing sunshiney feelings to this endless winter. Plus he starred on two of last summer's hottest songs, Robin's Thicke's "Blurred Lines" and Daft Punk's "Get Lucky." And now he has a brand new album of his very own: "G I R L".
I have been listening to "G I R L" for the past week and LOVE it. I was going to list out the reasons why I love it, but that's boring (if I say it's good, you should not need a full explanation), so I decided to do a little research instead. A quick Q&A about "G I R L":
1. What significance does the album's name have? "Women have been so good to me over this entire career and they've done so much for my family," says Pharrell to Entertainment Wise, so he made an album meant to celebrate women.
2. Why are there spaces between the letters in the album title? "The reason why I named it G I R L in capital letters is because when you look at it, it looks a little weird," Pharrell told BBC Radio 1. "And the reason why it does is because society is a little unbalanced."
3. Are there any guests spots on "G I R L"? Yes, you will hear from Justin Timberlake ("Brand New"), Alicia Keys ("Know Who You Are"), Miley Cyrus ("Come Get It Bae") and Daft Punk ("Gust of Wind"). It's a diverse mix!
4. Why is there controversy surrounding the "G I R L" album cover? Some have alleged that the three females accompanying Pharrell on the cover represent a "lack of color." His response is that one of the women on the cover (the one standing closest to him) actually is black. And he also pointed out that he himself is black.
5. Why does Pharrell wear that hat? (note: Google also prompted me to inquire "Why does Pharrell wear that stupid hat?) Here's what he had to say about the hat he wore to the Grammy's: "I was just wearing a hat...Some people like it and some people are like 'what is that?' At the end of the day I feel good if I'm expressing myself." He auctioned off the Grammy hat (purchased by Arby's for more than $44,000) for charity. Not bad considering he only paid $200 for it.
While there are only ten songs on the album (including "Happy"), it's a great mix. Personally, I love a shorter list of songs if they're all solid. That way I don't have to weed through a bunch to find the good ones. On "G I R L" they're all good! Here is the video for "Happy", a song that prompted me to make a whole mood elevating playlist with the same name:

Healthcare apps on smartphones are becoming more popular each minute – and they'll continue to grow in the future. At a recent health IT conference, Spring Nextel CEO Dan Hesse said two-thirds of doctors use smartphones, and predicted the number would reach 80 percent in the next two years. Apple leads the pack with about 5,000 apps. The number will explode again, thanks to the iPad. Google's Android has about 500 health apps. BlackBerry users can choose from about 150.

I couldn't decide which of the two sentences were wittier, so here are two alternatives I was going to go with:
-THE RETURN is a cross between STIR OF ECHOES, stupid, and boring as shit.
-"Hi, I'm STIR OF ECHOES, have we met?"
Predictable, unoriginal, boring.

Agreed, I figured I would throw in a wild card for anyone that wanted something more predictableReplyDelete
lol, I actually didn't mind this one but then again I could watch Sarah Michelle Gellar read Moby Dick for 14 hours straight without moving.ReplyDelete
I'll admit, it wasnt that it was terrible, its just that it was so middle of the road and derivative that I just couldnt careReplyDelete

Carl, with regards to the two sentences, there should have been a third alternative...thats right...you guessed it...first time..."I want to bugger Sarah Michelle Gellar (as the bird was in 1995 when the bird was 18, not as the bird is now obviously)".ReplyDelete

ED or Male impotence is fairly normal with men, that had led chemists and druggists to think of various medical remedies going without running shoes. Thankfully this erection problems or impotence is curable. Of all medication available in the stores today, Kamagra has made a particular mark as an effective answer to treating ED.
Kamagra or Sildenafil Citrate (its generic name) is one of this category, to be the first significant oral medication for ED, and that is widely popular now. It is identical to the 100mg Viagra. The color is unique. It truly is seen in two forms-tablet and jelly. The interesting trivia surrounding Kamagra is it was originally able to improve the circulation of blood in the heart and soothe cardiovascular problems. Nonetheless it proved more potent in boosting sexual abilities as well as the erection of your penis. Thereafter, Kamagra was approved by FDD plus it gripped the marketplace as being a surefire remedy for ED.
It's created for oral ingestion which is created in pills of 25mg, 50mg and 100mg. It is suggested that you need to take this medicine within an empty stomach around an hour before intercourse. 100 % stomach, the efficiency is considerably reduced. This tablet is distributed around your blood approximately 30 to One hour as soon as the intake you need to functioning on one's body by inhibiting the enzyme PDE5 (phosphodiesterase type) within penis. This enzyme is the main deterrent for proper erection as it restricts the of the penis muscles. Kamagra, when fully absorbed, inhibits PDE5 and thereby relaxes the muscles to allow healthy erection. However, you will not need to worry should you don't experience any intercourse after its consumption. It'll be automatically eliminated from your body.
Like several pills, even it is its unwanted side effects; but Kamagra, the fallouts are mild and short-lived. Congestion, diarrhea, headaches, urinary tract infections, facial flushing, etc. are some of its unwanted side effects. However, the effectiveness of this oral medicine Kamagra has been tested over the years and across all ages. Kamagra-treated patients have shown 80% improvement with regard to erection, penetration and tweaking the erection more than a extended period of time.
However, you have to keep in mind that Kamagra shouldn't be consumed even if you haven't had an intercourse for some time. In such a case, it is usually advised to talk a medical practitioner. Also, Kamagra will not be provided physician as well as when you have ordered it on the internet, your medical profile is reviewed prior to a delivery.
By the end of it, you should never self-medicate you to ultimately Kamagra [http://www.mshworldtradersltd.com/Cheap-Kamagra/Cheap-Kamagra.asp]. Your history needs to be evaluated before recommending it as it's fatal to individuals who are under some other medication containing nitrates. So be on your guard and proceed after you have a green signal with the doctor. With that ensured, the rewards are far-reaching.

Samardzija dominant, Cubs waste it of course
Yet another outstanding effort from a Cubs starting pitcher ends up in a Cubs loss, as it has so often in 2013. It was Jeff Samardzija's turn to get screwed over as he was dominant all night only to see his record get worse as the Cubs couldn't push a single run across the plate. Sure, Francisco Liriano was solid, but the vaunted "righty lineup" did what it usually does, come up empty, often. The turning point in this one took place in the third inning when the Cubs loaded the bases with nobody out with the top of the order coming up. The Cubs couldn't score in that situation, it wasn't the first time this year, and it won't be the last, and a team that can't score in that situation doesn't deserve to win the game. It wouldn't be a Cubs loss without another fake rally in the ninth inning and that's exactly what happened as the Cubs had runners on first and second with only one out and came away empty-handed yet again. If it's not the bullpen blowing a game, it's the offense not helping out a starter after he has done way more than enough to win, these losses are really starting to get on everyone's nerves.
At The Plate – The Cubs could only manage four hits in the loss, they walked only once, and struck out eleven times. Here are a couple more depressing stats, they were 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position and left eight guys on base. Julio Borbon, and Cody Ransom each had a hit in the loss while Welington Castillo had two singles.
On The Mound – Jeff Samardzija did everything he could to get the win tonight, I guess he was supposed to hit a home run as well, unfortunately he didn't. Shark worked seven innings giving up one run on three hits while walking one and striking out eight. The loss drops his record to 2-6 on the season as he lowered his ERA to 3.25 for the year, amazing. Carlos Villanueva was available tonight, guess he wasn't available twenty-four hours ago, he worked a scoreless inning while walking one.
Up Next – Game three of the series, hopefully the Cubs can find a way to salvage one game of this series. Edwin Jackson gets the start for the Cubs, he will be opposed by Jeanmar Gomez at 11:35 AM CST tomorrow morning.
Game Highlights:
Check back later, MLB.com has no Cubs highlights yet, oh right, they probably won't.
Series Preview – Cubs @ Pirates; May 21 – May 23, 2013
It's really quite disappointing that the Cubs come into the series on the heels of just losing one at home to the Mets. That was the whole step back thing I was talking about before that series even started, and the Cubs went out and did just that as they fell back into bad habits, or trends, and lost the series. The Cubs get a chance at redemption and to start another series winning streak starting tonight in Pittsburgh, and it's a very important series. Why, you ask. I'll tell you, my inquisitive friend, this marks the beginning of an eight game road trip, and I really think if they can get through this no worse than .500 they will be seeing .500 on the season sooner than later. Tonight also marks the return of Mr. Pie to the face, Matt Garza. All kidding aside this is huge for the Cubs and Garza for so many reasons, one of those reasons is contract status, the other is trade value. The Pirates come into this series with the pedal to the metal as they find themselves just two games out of first in the Central. They also pose a challenge in their home ballpark where they are 15-9 on the season. Both the Pirates and Cubs come into this series as equals as far as scoring runs is concerned, the Pirates have scored 176, the Cubs have scored 173. Wait, so why do the Pirates have a better record, well, they have better pitching then the Cubs, specifically in the pen. The Buccos boast the third best team ERA (3.33)in all of baseball, and their bullpen is a huge reason why as they have a bullpen ERA of 2.81, which is second best in the Majors. The Cubs currently sit twenty-third in the Majors with a 4.11 bullpen ERA, and that boys and girls is why the Pirates are eight games over .500 and the Cubs are seven games under.
Last Series:
The Cubs lost two out of three to the Mets at Wrigley, and of course could have, and maybe should have won all three, which seems to happen a lot this year.
The Pirates won two out of three from the Astros in Pittsburgh over the weekend, and have won eight of their last ten games.

Game Three – Jeanmar Gómez (2-0, 2.78)
– Career vs. Cubs (first appearance)
Bold Prediction:
This will be the first time all season that the Cubs will trot out their number one, two and three starters. Okay, Jackson is not quite performing like a number three yet, and Wood and Feldman have been much better, but on paper going into this year it was Garza, Samardzija, Jackson. Garza's return to the rotation should only make the pitching staff, bullpen included, better. With that said, I think the Cubs lose two out of three to the Pirates. I think Garza will be way too amped up to make his first start so I forsee command issues and a loss tonight. Now if Garza can harness that emotion the Cubs have a great shot to win the series, but given how hot the Pirates are, and Garza "easing" back into things I think the Buccos get the best of the him tonight, and then the Cubs splitting the next two.
Cub to Watch:
I expect a big series from Starlin Castro. Castro has had his ups and downs this year, but not too high or too low. He has hovered around .280 for the better part of a month, I think this series is the jumping off point to a really hot stretch.
May 17, 2013 – Mets @ Cubs; Lineups!
The Cubs welcome the Mets to Wrigley for a three game set starting today at 1:20 PM CST on WGN TV. Edwin Jackson will look to build on probably his best start the last time out against the Nats, the Mets will counter with young phenom Matt Harvey who has been pretty much unhittable this season. Here is how both teams will line up, there are scattered thunderstorms in the forecast, hopefully those stay away.
Series Preview – Mets @ Cubs; May 17 – May 19, 2013
The Cubs are coming into this series playing their best baseball of 2013, and maybe of the last three years. They have won two series in a row, both against contending teams in the Nationals, on the road, and the Rockies. The Mets on the other hand are floundering as they are 3-7 in their last ten games and have fallen to 15-23 on the season. Despite boasting one, if not the best young arm in baseball in Matt Harvey, the Mets pitching is what is doing them in. They come into this series with a team ERA of 4.50, which is twenty-sixth best in all of baseball. The Cubs hold the advantage here as they come into this series with a 3.72 team ERA which is good for twelfth in the Majors. If you break it down even further you can see that the Mets bullpen has been a real issue in the early going, they have a bullpen ERA of 4.85, which is twenty-eighth in baseball, that won't help you win a lot of games. Slowly but surely the Cubs have improved offensively, they still aren't a juggernaut but they are now twenty-third in baseball with 160 runs scored on the season. The Mets aren't much better as they have scored 165 runs which is good for twentieth in baseball. The key to this series for the Cubs will be to get to the Mets pen as early as possible, not always an easy task but it would go a long way towards winning the series if they could exploit that weakness as they hold the starting pitching edge and should be able to limit the Mets offense. To recap, get an early lead, Cubs starters shut down the Mets lineup, and exploit the Mets pen, ta-da!
Last Series:
The Cubs took two out of three from the Rockies at Wrigley earlier this week.
The Mets lost three out of four to the Cardinals in St. Louis.

Bold Prediction:
As I mentioned, the Cubs are playing well and I think this series is extremely important as we move forward in 2013. I know that sounds odd considering we have just reached the quarter pole of the season, but hear me out. The Cubs have shown flashes of great baseball, followed by huge let downs, it seems they take one step forward and two steps back. The first goal is to get back to .500 and winning this series goes a long way towards that in my opinion, if they lose this series we will see more of the same as they team hovers around 5-10 games under .500, which isn't terrible for this group I guess. But winning this series could put them on a really nice run, I think the Cubs will win this series, take two out of three at least, a sweep isn't out of the question, but that all depends on what happens today as the Mets have a clear advantage on the mound. If the Cubs win today, they sweep, if not, they take two out of three. GO CUBS!
Cubs make Nats pay for mistakes
Edwin Jackson match all everything Stephen Strasburg pitch for pitch for the first four innings, then the Cubs got a gift. With two outs and nobody on in the top of the 5th Welington Castillo hit what looked like an inning ending ground out to Ryan Zimmerman. Then Zimmerman's horrible mechanics took over and he made an awful throw to keep the Cubs alive in the inning. The next five Cubs hitters reached base, and when it was all said and done the Cubs led 4-0, with all four runs being unearned. Not only did they take the lead but they knocked Strasburg out of the game after five then added on in the sixth. Leading 4-1 the Cubs scored four more times in the sixth to take an 8-1 lead en route to an 8-2 victory. Edwin Jackson earned his first win of the season, and the Cubs were outstanding with runners in scoring position, bizarro world, but I'll take it.
At The Plate – The Cubs did get some help from Ryan Zimmerman and his awkwardness in the field, but they also took advantage. The Cubs pounded out twelve hits and scored eight runs, six of those twelve hits were doubles, that gives the Cubs thirteen doubles in the last two games. If that wasn't enough, the Cubs were also 6-for-12 with runners in scoring position, that usually bodes well. David DeJesus was 1-for-4 with a double, two RBI's, a walk, and a run scored. Anthony Rizzo has found his 2012 form, he was 3-for-5 with two RBI's, he's now hitting .288 on the season, he was hitting .173 on April 26th, think about that. Alfonso Soriano was 2-for-5 with two doubles, and a run score in the victory. One of the biggest hits came off the bat of Edwin Jackson, he laced a two-out, two-run double off of Strasburg to give the Cubs a 2-0 lead in the fifth.
On The Mound – Edwin Jackson was much better in this one, he worked 5.1 innings giving up two runs on four hits while walking two and striking out three to earn his first win as a member of the Cubs. The bullpen was solid as well as they worked the final 3.2 innings to close this one out. Shawn Camp went 1.2 scoreless innings giving up two hits while striking out two. Hector Rondon continues to impress as he went two scoreless innings while striking out two.
Up Next – The rubber game of the series on Mother's Day as Scott Feldman looks to keep things rolling and get a series win for the Cubs. He will be opposed by left hander Gio Gonzalez, who has uncharacteristically struggled in the early going. First pitch is scheduled for 12:35 PM CST on WGN TV.
Game Highlights:
Edwin Jackson's big two-run double
Rizzo makes an amazing bobbling catch
Rizzo's big two-run single
DeJesus with a two-run single
More of the same from Cubs in loss
The same old things keep plaguing the Cubs, not hitting with runners in scoring position, pitchers making errors, unearned runs, wasted doubles, all were present and accounted for in this one. Samardzija has no one to thank but himself for the Nationals taking a 2-1 lead in the second as he botched a ball right back at him then gave up a two out double. Then Samardzija just lost the feeling for everything in the fourth and fifth innings as the Nationals scored twice in the fourth and three times in the fifth to put this one to bed. For a game that featured ten total runs on nineteen total hits it was played at a breakneck pace, ending in just over two and a half hours. More on the Cubs misery with runners in scoring position below, they definitely had plenty of chances to keep this one close. I mentioned in the series preview that the Cubs would have to play mistake free baseball and capitalize on chances when they present themselves to win, the Cubs proved that true tonight.
At The Plate – The Cubs pounded out ten hits, one more than the Nats, but were only able to score three times. Of those ten hits seven were doubles, think about that for a second, and the Cubs only scored three times. Starlin Castro was given a chance to lead off for the first time this year and had a solid game going 2-for-5 with two doubles, an RBI, and a run scored. Anthony Rizzo turned in another solid performance going 2-for-4 with an RBI, he's now hitting .276 on the season. Ryan Sweeney had a solid day getting the start in center, he went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, and a run scored.
On The Mound – Jeff Samardzija needs to find a way to get through the fifth inning, or at least avoid the mind numbing innings that make his pitch count explode. Samardzija's record fell to 1-5 with the loss, he went five innings giving up seven runs, five earned, on eight hits while walking two and striking out five. Hector Rondon, Kyuji Fujikawa, and Shawn Camp each worked a scoreless inning in relief to keep the deficit somewhat respectable.
Up Next – Game two of the series as Edwin Jackson takes the ball for the Cubs to face one of his former teams. Jackson needs a good outing, I'm not saying his spot in the rotation is in jeopardy, yet, but a good performance could go a long way. Stephen Strasburg will oppose Jackson and the Cubs at 3:05 PM CST.
Game Highlights:
Great play by Barney
DeJesus' RBI ground out
Soriano with the outfield assist
Rizzo's RBI ground out
Series Preview – Cubs @ Nationals; May 10 – May 12, 2013
The stretch of facing contenders continues for the Cubs this weekend in Washington as they take on the exciting Nationals. The Cubs last trip to Washington didn't go so well as they were swept in a four game series, well swept is to kind of a word, they were embarrassed in a four game series. There was also a bench clearing incident between the two clubs which centered around Steve Clevenger and at the time third base coach of the Nats Bo Porter, neither will be in Washington this weekend. Here's a fun fact that you probably were not aware of, the Cubs have actually scored more runs this year than the Nationals. That's right, the Cubs have scored 128 runs, and the Nats have scored 121, both teams are near the bottom of baseball in that category, however the Nats are above .500 and the Cubs, well, aren't. The Nationals get it done with pitching, but still are not that much better than the Cubs. The Nats have a team ERA of 3.47 which is good for seventh in the Majors while the Cubs sit at thirteenth with a 3.77 ERA. The difference is the Nationals bullpen more times than not gets the job done, they have a team ERA of 3.57 which is fifteenth best in baseball while the Cubs are twenty-fifth best with a 4.57 bullpen ERA. Too many game this year have been lost by the Cubs pen, a failing bullpen will not be good enough against good teams, as evidenced by the Reds, and Cardinals series. Should be a fun weekend, and hopefully we see a better showing than last year, nothing could be worse really.
Last Series:
The Cubs split a two game series with the Cardinals at Wrigley.
The Nats swept a two game series at home against Detroit, they have won four straight heading into tonights game.

Game Three – Gio Gonzalez (3-2, 4.97)
– Career vs. Cubs (3 GS) (1-1, 5.74)
Bold Prediction:
The Nationals have gotten hot recently, winning four straight games heading into this series. The Cubs will need to play error free baseball and get improved performances from their bullpen if they want to compete in this series. I still think the Nationals will take two out of three this weekend.
Thanks for reading,

Okay, this is almost certainly not the last rehashing of the dispute between "analytic" and "Continental" philosophy in the blogworld. But it's a topic I would personally like to take my leave of, in that I've contributed comments to various takes on this chestnut elsewhere, and I don't want to look totally one-sided. The typical analytic-continental debate has a few predictable characteristics, and a few genuinely enlightening results. Looking back into philosophical history, it is sometimes hard to determine who is a forerunner of what: many analytics have a deep and sincere admiration for Nietzsche, whereas the more technical Husserl is more commonly studied by continentals. But as far the Internet can now be a barometer of general opinion, the recent period of confusion about the distinction between the two, induced by Richard Rorty and other synthesizers, is over: we are dealing with two mature "research programs" which are sharply distinguished from each other. What can bring them close enough for comparison?
I think that the most sensible way of contrasting these two styles of inquiry needs to draw on a Hegelian concern which is rarely invoked by either. For much of his working life Hegel was not an ordinary philosophy professor, but a tutor or newspaper editor or school headmaster, and even when he became a famous Ordinarius in Berlin he still paid a great deal of attention to matters pedagogical. The theoretical import of the business of educating people in the business of understanding philosophy he collected under the heading "philosophical culture", and this often plays a fairly significant role in his "idealist" accounts of how morality and history progress. It is also of significance for evaluating philosophical argumentation more narrowly construed: in the Phenomenology the "proof" of a metaphysical system's character, its significance for "Science", is displayed by the worldview it gives birth to.
Now, people (including, in many moods, myself) are often prone to distinguishing analytic and Continental groupings on political grounds. But the distinction between the two ways of educating people about philosophy is far more marked than the divergence in politics between professors of each (which the intelligent observer should probably be sociologist enough to reckon as minimal, on account of closeness in "social space"). Continental philosophy relies on the traditional notion of "rational animal" in considering its target market: it aims to appeal to anyone who makes reasoning their custom in life, be they journalist or union organizer. This is partially due to the fact that its traditional institutional partisans are social-democrats and Catholics, who have their own, mutually incompatible, reasons for aiming at universality: but whatever the affiliations of the Continentally minded, their vision of the philosophical world is deliberatively democratic, and perhaps this can go some way towards explaining the less-prized qualities of Continental philosophy.
By contrast, analysis is "for everyone and no one". Most analytic philosophers are dubious about the prospects for mass participation in rationally reconstructing anything. This is not to say there is not a public face to analytic philosophy, but it is restricted, for the most part, to those who have a professional interest in the results of philosophical analysis: for example, lawyers and judges, rather than the readers of political magazines, are the target market for analytic philosophy of law. Of course, in a liberal democracy the professions are at least notionally open to talents, and many people lacking an honorific are both ready and willing to take an interest in "shop talk" anyway, so one can't really fault analytic philosophy for being inaccessible on this account: however, it is true that the kinds of reasoning analytics go in for are affected by the kinds of people they want to make the point to.
But perhaps this criterion of division only complicates things further: for I am tempted to say that effect of this difference is that one can sentimentally favor one genre and be for the most part intellectually preoccupied with another, as I find is the case with me. So, more confusion. (It was probably too much to ask for an answer to the question "Which one is better?": that is something which is never resolved in any such effort, since all participants are probably trying to maximize the time they spend doing some kind of philosophy.)

The irony is that I've recently discovered that my original issue might have in fact been a full on bug.
The area where I was stuck is when you return to level 1 (through natural progression of story) in order to try and break out the other alien with your upgraded skills. There is an area where there are 2 power cores both surrounded by inhibitors (blue walls).
This area is not accessible to you but there are conveyor belts traveling through the area.
In my second attempt (after restart) this puzzle if very simple. There is a bomb to send through the conveyor belt. Impossible to miss this. Timing is the only factor.
But during my original play, this bomb could not travel through the inhibitor as intended. Now that i am further along i have encountered this issue again in a different way.
Now I needed to "Launch" a bomb through a doorway, and it works, but if you die and continue, the bomb will not travel through the doorway, it will be knocked back as if there is an inhibitor there (and there once was).
I have to back out into the menu and continue game to get past this issue, and even then, I only get one shot at this, if I die, its back out to the menu again.
Also, DonJose, that sounds very frustrating indeed

Well, after not having any players of the week up until Joey was named last week, the Reds now get two in a row. Homer was named the NL Player of the Week for this past week for his great end to the season. Congrats Homer!
Link: http://cincinnati.reds.mlb.com/news/...=.jsp&c_id=cin
CINCINNATI -- After two solid starts to wrap up the 2009 season, Reds starting pitcher Homer Bailey was named as the National League Player of the Week on Monday.
Bailey, 23, was 2-0 with a 0.69 ERA, four walks and 14 strikeouts over 13 innings pitched.
In a 7-2 Reds victory over the Cardinals on Sept. 29, Bailey gave up one earned run on seven hits with one walk and seven strikeouts. During a 6-0 blanking of the Pirates in Sunday's season finale, the right-hander worked six scoreless innings and allowed seven hits, three walks and struck out seven.
"The way the team played the last month and a half made it a lot easier for me to go out there and try to get things done," Bailey said after Sunday's start. "I owe them more credit than I do myself."
After several rough stints in the Majors since his debut in 2007, Bailey has shown signs he has finally put it together. Over his final nine starts this season, he posted a 6-1 record and 1.70 ERA.
In 20 big league starts overall, Bailey was 8-5 this season with a 4.53 ERA. This was the first time in his career that he's been honored as a Player of the Week. He will receive a luxury, engraved timepiece from Tourneau.
