text: Mosley's coaching shorts... This new feature will include exciting and lame moments from practice: • Is it a good sign that recently signed defensive end Jason Davis completely destroyed former third-round draft choice Stephen Peterman (right) in a 1-on-1 drill? I think not. Later in team drills, Peterman shouted out an expletive to fire up his teammates. Former Giants defensive tackle Jim Burt, who is a guest coach during camp, deadpanned, "I guess he forgot those four other blocks he missed." • Cowboys assistant head coach Tony Sparano jumped all over guard Cory Procter when he whiffed during the 1-on-1 drill. • Sparano shouted encouragement to rookie offensive tackle Pat McQuistan when he held off rookie defensive end Jason Hatcher during the drill. Hatcher then destroyed the 6-9 rookie offensive tackle from Georgia, Dennis Roland. • When wide receiver Patrick Crayton (right) asked passing game coordinator Todd Haley something before a play, Parcells shouted, "Can you do anything without asking Haley? You can't [use the men's room] without asking Haley." • Parcells unloaded on backup quarterback Tony Romo during the morning practice after he didn't release the ball soon enough. "Snap the [expletive] out of it," he shouted at Romo. • Early in camp, the defense is much further down the road than the offense. • Defensive end Chris Canty has the ability to disrupt an entire side of the offensive line. He was there to meet Julius Jones on a running play that he tried to bounce outside.. • Catch of the Day: Rookie tight end Anthony Fasano made a great catch in traffic on a pass from Drew Bledsoe. Parcells called him back over from the sideline to congratulate him on the play.. • Julius Jones made a tough catch in heavy traffic across the middle.. • Receiver J.R. Tolver drew Parcells' ire when he lined up offsides during team drills. • Linebacker Rocky Boiman has been making a lot of plays so far in camp. He pursues well and always seems to be in the right spot.. • Colombo got the best of Roy Williams on a sweep around the right side. • Rookie free safey Pat Watkins sacked Romo after coming on a blitz. This fifth-round pick could end up starting. • Under-the-radar name of the day: Free-agent rookie WR Sam Hurd of Northern Illinois.

Vanderjagt missed the morning session with the flu. Bill Parcells said then he wasn't sure when Vanderjagt would return. Maybe Vanderjagt's flu is the reason he's struggled in camp. He does seem to be kicking a heavy ball. Posted by Calvin Watkins http://www.**************/sharedcontent/dws/img/standing/icons/email.gif at 7:18 PM (E-mail this entry) | Comments (0) Vanderjagt back on the field... Kicker Mike Vanderjagt has made a miraculous recovery and is back on the field right now. The other two kickers produced a 1-for-8 effort this morning. Vanderjagt has struggled early in camp, but the good news is that we've found the problem. A "heavy hold" from Tony Romo. Come to think of it, let's just blame all those misses last year on Romo. Now it's time to move forward. Headed out to practice. We'll check in soon. Posted by Matt Mosley http://www.**************/sharedcontent/dws/img/standing/icons/email.gif at 7:17 PM (E-mail this entry) | Comments (1) 11-on-11 stuff My favorite part of practice is the 11-on-11 stuff, which occurred at the back end of the evening practice. As the offense came on the field for the session, the defense stayed on the sideline. Bill Parcells barked: "Come on defense, you think we're playing solitare?" Now for the action: DeMarcus Ware had a sack and Anthony Henry picked off a Drew Bledsoe pass on the first series. Tony Romo fumbled the first snap when it was his time to run the offense. Defensive tackle Thomas Johnson had a sack on the third play. Romo rolled to his right on another play and fired a ball into double coverage for an incompletion. Marion Barber had a good run which prompted Parcells to send the defensive backs and receivers off the field. Parcells wanted to see the offensive line against the defensive line for three consecutive plays. I think the goal is for the offensive line, which is struggling at times, to hold the defensive front at least once. Tyson Thompson picked up the blitz well as Drew Henson completed a pass. Henson failed to connect on a deep ball to Jamaica Rector. Jeff Mroz is struggling. He's holding the ball too long in some cases and other times receivers are not open. Yet, he's scrambling out of harm's way. Barber had some good moments in the last of the 11-on-11 drills including cutting across the grain on a nifty run.

Mac Bledsoe is head of Drew's Parenting with Dignity program. **Skyler Green changed his number from No. 6 to No. 10, which had been worn by Ahmad Merritt before he was cut. Merritt actually had No. 81 before Terrell Owens' signed, but the day before the Cowboys announced the agreement with Owens they changed his number. **Hopefully one day we will see a free kick in a Cowboys game. That was the end-of-half situation they worked on Wednesday and Shaun Suisham missed both tries. Not a good day for the kickers, but Mike Vanderjagt was on the practice field Wednesday. **Guard Stephen Peterman left practice briefly with what appeared to be a knee injury but he returned. He was limping afterward. He missed the 2004 season with a knee injury. **Solid performance by Lenny Williams, the cornerback who spent the spring playing in NFL Europe. Williams broke up a Drew Henson pass intended for Jamaica Rector and earlier batted away a Tony Romo pass to Patrick Crayton. **Just as he was ready to turn upfield after a catch Terrell Owens fumbled during team drills, but Parcells gave the offense credit for the win on the play anyway. **Four plays after Owens' fumble Anthony Henry intercepted a Bledsoe pass and returned it for what would've been a touchdown. Henry is starting to come on in camp after a slow first day. The Cowboys corners are being especially aggressive from Henry on down. **Rookie defensive end Jason Hatcher was a force, but it needs to be qualified: it came vs. the third- and fourth-team lines. He hasn't been as noticeable vs. the Nos. 1 and 2 lines. **After the offense messed up a protection call Parcells had the line and running backs re-run the play four times before he was satisfied they knew what was going on. **Andre Gurode might be putting the locks on the center spot. He had a pancake of Kevin Burnett during a nickel-run drill. **Drew Henson has been better the last two days than he was the first two. His passes were crisp and accurate. Don't know if Parcells notices him or not. Posted by Todd Archer http://www.**************/sharedcontent/dws/img/standing/icons/email.gif at 9:07 PM (E-mail this entry) | Comments (0) The Cowlishaw Practice Report (pronounced ra-POR) Quite an afternoon session here in Oxnard. Bill Parcells, unhappy with a second-team offensive line group that couldn't block four defenders with five blockers, made the unit run the protection four times in a row. Stephen Peterman didn't make it all the way through and limped off after the third play. He returned to practice, although I can't say he came back looking like a young Larry Allen. ...Great one-handed sideline grab today of a Tony Romo pass...by Mike Vanderjagt. Haven't seen this guy kick any better than Jose Cortez but he's got hands! That catch was followed by a wild overthrow from Drew Henson, who continues to labor in his third-string role. ...Found myself missing Aveion Cason today. No explanation for that. ...Anthony Henry picked off Drew Bledsoe and took one to the house in an afternoon team drill. Believe those were the only points registered in just about any kind of drill. Either the Cowboys have the '85 Bears defense in camp, or this offense has miles to go. Starting to wonder if Parcells' decision to have about seven coaches involved in the offensive playbook was a good idea. ...Congrats to Kip Wells for that Rangers' 'W' this afternoon. Just thought it was worth a mention. ...LSU rookie receiver Skyler Green has scarfed up the number 10, now that Ahmad Merritt no longer has any use for it. Green's here to return kicks, but he shows more receiving skills than I would have expected. Don't think you will hear the coaches say that, though. ...Junior Glymph coming off the edge is a sight that tight end Tony Curtis doesn't want any part of. ...DeMarcus Ware politely answered questions about why he isn't meaner this afternoon after Mike Zimmer had mentioned this morning that Ware has no mean streak. Would have been nice to see Ware screaming at the media that he does, in fact, have one. But that would have been out of character. Doesn't mean he can't play, though. ...Lots of text messages received regarding Rhett Bomar's ouster at OU. Frankly, I am glad he's gone since I usually call him Brett Romar and have to rely on our desk to save me.

Colombo chased Henry for about 40 yards all the way to the end zone, then jogged back to the huddle. "Good hustle, Colombo," Parcells said. "Don't think I don't notice that." Posted by Jean-Jacques Taylor http://www.**************/sharedcontent/dws/img/standing/icons/email.gif at 9:12 PM (E-mail this entry) | Comments (0) James Bond Moment The Cowboys have created a secret entrance where coach Bill Parcells can walk onto the field without having to deal with autograph requests. But he doesn't use it most of the time because he can't find it - his words not mine. I did offer to leave him a trail of breadcrumbs after practice tomorrow, so he can find it.

Now that Deron Williams has signed with the Nets, Steve Nash is now the "it" guy available on the NBA free agent market. The Knicks and Raptors have been fighting for him. The Lakers and Mavericks even jumped into the fray recently. But according to Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski, the Knicks have become the favorite to land the 38-year-old.
The Knicks and Nash are reportedly in the "critical" stages of a three-year contract worth between $27 million and $30 million. Because the Knicks hardly have that kind of cap room, the deal can only be completed through a sign-and-trade with the Suns.
Iman Shumpert (and his torn ACL) would reportedly be the top player the Suns would receive in return. ESPN's Marc Stein reports that other Knicks players involved in the deal would likely be Tony Douglas, Josh Harrellson and Jerome Jordan — "ehh" players with cap-friendly contracts.
"The Knicks don't want to trade (Shumpert), but they will if they have to. They want Nash," a source told Stein.
The Raptors reportedly have offered Nash a better deal — three years, $36 million — but Nash expressed more interest in the Knicks as long they could come close to those figures. So much for that absurd "home country advantage" the Raptors thought they had in their pocket.
Landing Nash alongside Carmelo Anthony, Amar'e Stoudemire and Tyson Chandler would give the league its only so-called "Big Four," which can only lead to expectations the Knicks naturally won't come close to meeting.
Nash's potential arrival could also put Jeremy Lin's future with the team in question. The team reportedly plans to match any offer Lin, a restricted free agent, receives. Lin reportedly is receiving offers from the Raptors, Mavericks and Rockets. He could feasibly see his price go up if Nash comes off the market. The question would then become how much are the Knicks, already in cap hell if Nash joins, willing to keep him for.

text: Come Together: In environment of increasing consolidation, nephrologist founds independent practice associationHogan, MichelleNephrology Times: February 2011 - Volume 4 - Issue 2 - pp 7-8 doi: 10.1097/01.NEP.0000395401.20963.cd Feature As the United States' evolving health care delivery system continues to drive collaboration and consolidation in medicine, providers are looking within to see what degree of cooperation best suits their needs. For Long Island, NY-based nephrologist Simon Prince, MD, an independent practice association (IPA) was the answer. Image... "Here there's a dominant player—a big health system—but this is a nationwide phenomenon where a large amount of private-practice physicians are being acquired in a manner by hospitals," Dr. Prince said in a phone interview. Dr. Prince is President of North Shore Nephrology in Manhasset, NY; Medical Director of Queens–Long Island Renal Institute in New Hyde Park, NY; and President & CEO of Beacon IPA, which he founded in the summer of 2010. "Big groups are forming, independent private practice is really being squeezed, and it's becoming more challenging to survive, for a variety of reasons," he said. "I thought that this would be a good vehicle to give another choice to independent practitioners who were looking for a way to come together but still maintain some independence and autonomy." The IPA model is one way for practices to join forces, agreed Franklin W. Maddux, MD, Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Information Officer for Fresenius Medical Care. I thought that this ... "It doesn't mean that the practice loses its autonomy completely, but it gains a larger stage and setting for understanding regulatory items and items that are of benefit to the individual practice by learning from their peers," he said in a phone interview. "I don't know that it will be the dominant model everywhere, but I think it is one way in which smaller practices that wish to remain independent can gain some of the advantages of a larger organization and some of the thought power that comes from having more people involved." Back to Top | Article Outline Achieving Clinical Integration The level of integration in an IPA is somewhat looser compared with other options for collaboration. "It's a little easier in and out," Dr. Prince said. "You don't have to rip down your corporation; you don't have to jump through hoops to get involved." Beacon IPA currently includes about 200 physicians, approximately 100 of whom are primary care physicians and 10 of whom are nephrologists. Other specialists include cardiologists, pulmonologists, infectious disease physicians, dermatologists, and surgeons, including vascular surgeons. Beacon's goal is to comprise more than 50% primary care physicians. The IPA is spreading geographically from its base on the North Shore of Long Island to Queens County in New York and to the South Shore and eastern reaches of Long Island. "We can talk to the payers on a different level when we have a couple hundred docs versus a few docs in a single practice," Dr. Prince said. "It allows us to affect change because we'll have different committees dealing with different quality initiatives, clinically integrate in a way in which we can get data that has significant breadth, and then look at that data, improve upon it, and use it to show the quality." This emphasis on quality is shown in part by Beacon raising the bar on its standards for new members, he noted. "We need to fill holes because we want all of our specialties covered, but we're looking for different groups geographically, how they work, look at malpractice histories, who's referring them and where they're coming from, and then we investigate," Dr. Prince said. The focus on a certain level of clinical integration is another important factor, he noted. "As we move toward clinical integration, that is what's going to make us a little different—a little more tightly knit and a little better—but clinical integration is very difficult to achieve. "Our members need to be on an EMR [electronic medical record] within six to 12 months of joining us or they will be out of the IPA. All of our members need to be on an EMR that qualifies for meaningful use so we can all talk and share data and integrate, and that's the challenge of the organization now." Members can use the EMR system of their choice. For Beacon, clinical integration is also a step toward a potential goal. "We want to use a clinically integrated IPA as a vehicle to become an accountable care organization [ACO], perhaps," Dr. Prince said. "That's a very hot topic now—what is an ACO and where do ACOs fit—and we're waiting for more light on that. "There's a ton of speculation, but we don't want to be caught flat-footed, so we're putting infrastructure in place." Back to Top | Article Outline Not a Stand-Alone Solution If youre coming in w... Independent practice associations have value not as stand-alone solutions but as part of a larger scale accountable care organization, said Theodore I. Steinman, MD, Clinical Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Senior Physician at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, in a phone interview. "The IPA can represent the really truly integrated model of care, short of maybe all the financial issues that are necessary for that, and those you can delegate to the ACO. "IPA member physicians can set up patient chart-sharing; they can set up a model for IT—how do you transmit records back and forth with patient protection—that will decrease costs by preventing duplication, eliminating unnecessary testing procedures, and reducing medical error. I think the electronic health record, electronic medical record, will facilitate communication between doctors and obviously between institutions. "If you're coming in when ACOs are being formed, you can be a player at the table. You're bringing size, speaking with clout, etc." Dr. Maddux also noted the potential for an independent practice association to participate in an ACO when he commented on the benefits and costs of the IPA approach. "I think the benefits are access to the intellect of the group, access to those items needed to run your nephrology practice that some degree of scale might create either a functional or financial benefit, and the ability to look at participation in some of these innovative delivery models in a less risky way for the practice," he said. Some of the costs to... I see a lot of conso... "An example of that would be a practice under an IPA group might well qualify to participate in what we think an accountable care organization may look like, and that participation as an IPA or as a group that affiliates with some other larger organization has the ability then to gain the benefit of resources for analysis of patient populations that they might not individually and independently be able to afford to embed in their practice, and those population dynamics and analytics are going to be some of the key factors, I believe, that create opportunities for success under the accountable care model, shared savings models. "Some of the costs to these things are money, time, effort, and control because you give up a little bit of your independence whenever you affiliate with others in any way, whether it's a high-and-tight kind of affiliation or whether it's a loose affiliation, so as a practice you have to be committed to working with others and listening to points of view other than your own." Back to Top | Article Outline Collaboration Is Unavoidable While the options for partnering with other medical providers come in all different shapes and sizes, those interviewed for this article agreed that in this day and age, some level of collaboration is unavoidable. "The days of hanging out a sign and being a solo practitioner have ended," wrote Gary Cellini, PharmD, MBA, Vice President of Strategic Planning for Satellite Healthcare, in an e-mail. "A specialist such as a nephrologist has to either be part of a large single-specialty group practice that dominates the market, join an IPA (or several IPAs), be part of an IPA (or several IPAs) that is/are subcontracted with large employee multispecialty groups, or become an employed physician in a large employee multispecialty group—e.g., Palo Alto Medical Foundation, Kaiser [Permanente], Cleveland Clinic, etc. I see a lot of consolidation in the near future." In deciding what form of collaboration to pursue, a practice should look within. "I think ultimately one of the things this requires is that the practice ask itself very fundamental questions about what kind of practice they see themselves having over time," Dr. Maddux said. "Is it one that creates a culture that is strictly based on independence and autonomy, or is it one that moves more toward a collaborative model and looking at shared best practices that might emanate from your own practice but might actually be proposed and promoted from a neighboring practice that's part of the collaboration. "I think the practice and the practitioners in that practice have to become comfortable with the culture of collaboration and comfortable with whether they can be in that environment and feel that that leads to good practice of medicine, a good lifestyle, and a good return on what they're putting into it. "I would simply say that practices need to look inside themselves very carefully and say, what is it we want to be; how do we want to do that, and honestly look at all of the options for who's best to do that with because it may be another practice or group of practices; it may be the relationship with your dialysis provider; it may be geographic in your local community. "It won't be the same for every practice. That will depend on how they're set up and what they see of themselves in the future." •© 2011 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Inc.

How directors master their domain
Lisa Ingersoll
Managing director
Ingersoll Media Consulting
Media is a meeting place between brands and customers; both are highly dynamic. In addition, media itself is constantly changing. Publications at the top of everyone's plan yesterday are suddenly anemic today. New media emerge. It's critical to stay current with the brand, as well as the media matrix. Directors must work closely with agency account people and clients. We must attend meetings and participate in the brand discussion. We need to stay informed on media options by networking, listening to publishers' presentations, and reading industry publications and attending industry meetings. We need to find out what's happening in the world beyond pharma media. Viral, event, experience and mobile marketing may never be chosen for the next brand on the market, but that knowledge may lead somewhere else. It may provide an edge in an increasingly crowded and competitive market.
Robert Enos
Media director
The best resource for directors is their staff, offering multiple sets of eyes, ears, hands and minds which are exposed to industry resources daily. Elevating each member to a level of expected, equal contribution to a collective database helps sustain info flow. Assigning areas of investigation based on individual as well as group developmental needs will help staff prioritize their efforts and avoid duplication. Some best practice suggestions are: 1) having staff take turns attending lunch-and-learn sessions or industry events followed by writing contact reports with application statements that can be shared; 2) scheduling regular department meetings where individuals can share insights; and 3) creating a database, assigning every investigated vehicle key attribute for easy sorting and cross-reference.
Amy Levinson
VP, group media director
Running a media department requires staying abreast of new media, new channels and new ways of breaking through the clutter. Given the rapid evolution of these channels, this cannot be accomplished by occasionally reading a newsletter or research report; it's a daily undertaking. Only with this effort can a media leader provide optimal recommendations. As channels evolve, it's simpler to define my job to my clients: "If you can put an ad on it, in it or around it, it falls under my domain." Traditional print vendors are asked to quickly hit the highlights and leave time to discuss what's emerging. Even though they have been expanding into new territory, given where I believe the future of our industry is headed I spend most of my time meeting with e-business vendors. This is where you can get creative and develop cutting-edge, strategic programs with high potential brand benefit.
Ray Rotolo
Managing director
Target: Health
Keeping ahead of the curve is the lifeblood of our organization. I have weekly staff meetings to get a feel for what is going on in the day-to-day and take a pulse on our business and staff. You need to be connected with everyone in your organization; it's too important not to. I get in early to scour the trade and business press online and read the more important blogs. They are great to get a sense for the buzz. It also helps me to understand the prevailing economics in the industry which gives me the important road signs. I am also a firm believer in the old-fashioned; I pick up the phone and talk with our media partners and clients to hear first hand what the future holds and I encourage all our staff to do the same.

6 Sep 2012
Mayor of Hurstville, Cr Steve McMahon is encouraging the community to participate in R U OK? Day on Thursday 13 September 2012.
Mayor McMahon said the national campaign is dedicated to helping reduce Australia's high suicide rate.
"Sadly, on average 2,200 Australians take their life each year and 65,000 attempt to," he said.
"This campaign is simple - it encourages people to reach out to colleagues, friends or loved ones.
"It is about taking a moment to check in and ask 'Are you okay?'.
"Those simple words could save a life."
Mayor McMahon said the day was launched at Parliament House in 2009 by the late Gavin Larkin OAM whose own father took his life in 1995.
"R U OK? Day aims to inspire everyone to take responsibility for people in their lives who may be struggling and need an opportunity to say 'I'm not ok' to a friend or family member," he said.
"Regular connection with family, friends and peers can help build a stronger and more resilient community – protecting the people we know and love.
"You don't have to be an expert to support someone going through a tough time, you just need to be there, listen and take the time to follow up."

You are herecontent / Dangerous New Conventional Wisdom Forming Off the East Coast
Dangerous New Conventional Wisdom Forming Off the East Coast
By Arianna Huffington
Here's a newly minted bit of MSM groupthink that needs to be stamped out before it congeals into conventional wisdom: that only people on the left are upset about the way the White House used lies and deception to lead us into a reckless and unnecessary war. A sub-version of this is that the only people upset about Judy Miller and Plamegate are anti-war types who care about the role Miller and the neocons played in helping the Bush White House market the war.
This nugget first hit my radar screen Tuesday night. I was on CNN being interviewed by Aaron Brown (in my experience, one of the best interviewers in the business), when, to my surprise, he suddenly suggested that "a lot of the animosity that's being directed towards Ms. Miller, a lot of the hits she's taken…are just simply coming from the left, people opposed to the war...[and] what was clearly flawed reporting leading up to the war

A former boss of mine who voted for G.W.Bush, is a lifelong Republican, and was an Army Interrogator in Vietnam, now says he is totally embarrassed by this president. In his words- "Is this clown the best my party could come up with?" He just could not be moved to vote for John Kerry.Voting on party lines is what got us this dangerous mob in the White House. The neocons are a tiny cabal of dangerous radicals who hijacked the GOP, and there is nothing "conservative" about them,or "religious" either, as they ignore the teachings of Jesus and the Commandments at every turn. "Love thy neighbor as thyself" and "Thou Shalt Not Kill, Lie, or Steal" go in one ear and out the other with this gang....they use religion (thanks to Karl Rove-a modern-day Goebbels) as the ultimate political mind-control device.

Are we still down with zombie themed shoots? It's seems to me that over recent months they've been cropping up everywhere but I get the feeling you're not sick of them yet. Weirdly, zombies and zombie stuff is always a hot topic on my social media! Who knew…?
I'm not going to lie, I get submitted a lot of zombie shoots and most of them get rejected for publication. It's not that I don't like them… but I guess I figured once I'd published a couple of really brilliant ones, I'm ready to move onto the next thing. But Gareth told me I was wrong and that you guys would still love to see them so here we are with another one today. Is he right?! (he usually is damn him!)
The difference with Dannielle & Andrew's shoot is that unlike a lot of zombie shoots I've seen, they wanted to get in on the action and play the zombies themselves rather than having other people to attack them. "For the shoot, we wanted to create a little typical zombie story", wrote photographer Kim. "The girl gets stuck in the middle of nowhere and gets attack by a zombie. She then becomes a zombie and they fall in love."
"Andy and I decided to do a zombie shoot for one simple reason… we both love zombies!" Dannielle took over. "We've watched every single episode of The Walking Dead together – it's part of our Sunday routine. We wanted to do something that wasn't your ordinary engagement shoot, something unique and something that reflected us as a couple. Our pictures show true love at first bite, and that's exactly how our relationship has been. Ever since we first met I knew he was the one when I first saw him. Don't worry though, we don't have a craving for human flesh, we've already got each other!"

One of the more recent third party solutions is the Kiano 4 iPhone keyboard. It's available in your choice of black or white and, well, it effectively turns your iPhone 4 into a slider phone with a full keyboard. It doesn't make a wired connection to the iPhone, however, relying on Bluetooth 2.0 instead.
Yeah, that's going to cause some battery concerns, not to mention that you'll need to charge it separately from your smartphone too. I guess there's a purpose, but if you really must have a keyboard, you're probably better off ditching the iDevice in favor of something like the HTC Desire Z instead. In any case, the Kiano4 is $99 from some random HK e-shop.

Today in Civil Rights History: President Lincoln Issues the Emancipation Proclamation
September 22, 2009 - Posted by The Leadership Conference
On September 22, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln issued the first part of an executive order known as the Emancipation Proclamation. The Emancipation Proclamation was a set of two executive orders made during the American Civil War that declared that all slaves in the Confederate States of America be freed.
The first order was given following the Union victory at the Battle of Antietam and threatened to grant freedom to slaves in Confederate states that did not rejoin the Union by January 1, 1863. This threat was followed up shortly with the second order, given on January 1, which officially freed slaves in 10 states that had failed to return to the Union.
It is estimated that up to 20,000 slaves were freed by the second order on that very day, and many more slaves were freed each day as the Union forces advanced further South to take control of states named in the proclamation. In total, it is estimated that about four million slaves were freed by the proclamation by July of 1865. Some of those freedmen used their newfound freedom to join the Union Army and assisted in their eventual victory over the Confederacy.
In effect, the Emancipation Proclamation was much more important because of what it symbolized rather than what it actually did. The proclamation was a war measure that was limited because it was aimed at freeing slaves in states that the Union had no control of. While the proclamation did free some slaves at the time, slavery was officially abolished in the United States in December of 1965 when the 13th Amendment was ratified.

Borriello and Nocerino join West Ham
West Ham have announced the signing of Italy duo Marco Borriello and Antonio Nocerino on loan until the end of the season.
AC Milan midfielder Nocerino, 28, is an Italy international who scored one of the penalties that knocked out England at the quarterfinal stage of Euro 2012. He began his career at Juventus, before spending time on loan at Genoa, Messina and Piacenza before joining Palermo in 2008.
Nocerino left for AC Milan in the summer of 2011 but has fallen out of favour this season and has opted to continue his career in London in the hope of raising his chances of playing for Italy at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
PIC: The Hammers are delighted to confirm the arrival of Antonio Nocerino. More at http://t.co/BWSwXb9Xcg http://t.co/CzZ3oBG5S8
— West Ham United FC (@whufc_official) January 25, 2014
Borriello joins the Hammers from Serie A club AS Roma and, according to the West Ham website, "will add strength, presence and goals to Sam Allardyce's squad."
The 31-year-old has netted nearly 100 career goals for Roma, AC Milan, Juventus and Genoa, among others and the striker will also be hopeful of raising his chances of playing for his country in Brazil.

Offensive Players of the Week
For the week ending May 9
By Josh Jackson / Special to MLB.com | May 10, 2010 9:44 AM ET
Juan Francisco, Louisville
.583/.630/1.125, 14-for-24, 5 2B, 1 3B, 2 HR, 14 RBI, 9 R, 3 BB, 1 K, 0 SB
Juan Francisco, who broke through with the Reds during September roster expansion in 2009 and started the 2010 campaign in Cincinnati, is not a fan of April. The 22-year-old third base prospect hit just .227 in the opening month of last year. After starting this season with a 1-for-6, four-strikeout, no-walk stint in the Majors, he was promptly demoted and continued his struggles with the Bats, entering May with a .115 average over 15 games. Francisco emphatically shook that funk off this week. On Monday, he put together a three-double, four-RBI game while going 4-for-5 with two runs scored against the Buffalo Bisons. He added at least two RBIs and one extra-base hit in each of his next four games. On Saturday, he homered, doubled and walked to drive in three and cross the plate three times himself against Rochester.
Pacific Coast League
Brett Pill, Fresno
.478/.538/.913, 11-for-23, 7 2B, 0 3B, 1 HR, 8 RBI, 4 R, 3 BB, 1 K, 0 SB
Brett Pill has consistently progressed through the Giants system, playing one full season each at Class A short-season, Class A, Class A Advanced and Double-A. Following the pattern, he'd be in the Majors next year, and if he continues to handle himself at the dish the way he did this week, there will be no objections in San Francisco. Pill was in the midst of a 1-for-8 rough patch when he went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored on Tuesday, which began a hitting streak that he would ride through the weekend. He knocked in three runs and ripped three doubles in Thursday's action, and one in each subsequent game, although Friday's two-bagger was overshadowed by a homer. Aside from Monday and Saturday, Pill also knocked in a run in every game of the week.
Eastern League
Darin Mastroianni, New Hampshire
.483/.543/.793, 14-for-29, 0 2B, 3 3B, 1 HR, 8 RBI, 5 R, 5 BB, 3 K, 2 SB
Blue Jays prospect Darin Mastroianni, back in the Eastern League after spending the second half of '09 there, started the week on a tear. He tripled and went 3-for-4 to collect four RBIs and a run scored against New Britain on Monday, and on Tuesday, he picked up where he left off, tripling again, plating and scoring another run and banging out four hits. He was 3-for-5 against the Rock Cats on Wednesday, and in Thursday's series finale, he gave them a parting-gift homer to remember him by. Mastroianni knocked in a run on Friday in Binghamton and another one on Saturday, and he enters the new week carrying a 15-game hitting streak.
Southern League
Corey Smith, Chattanooga
.412/.450/1.000, 7-for-17, 2 2B, 1 3B, 2 HR, 8 RBI, 5 R, 2 BB, 3 K, 3 SB
Minor League journeyman Corey Smith, who signed with the Dodgers as a free agent during the offseason, used the week to show what experience at the plate can do. Although he was hitless through Wednesday, he was 2-for-2 with a double, a pair of RBIs and a stolen base in Thursday's tilt and swung that bat impressively through the weekend. He stole another base on Friday, and another on Saturday, and his speed didn't take away from his power. Homering on Friday and Saturday, he combined for six RBIs and four runs scored on the first two days of the weekend. Smith finished the week strong, legging out an RBI triple, scoring and walking in Sunday's game in Carolina.
Texas League
Pete Kozma, Springfield
.355/.355/.645, 11-for-31, 3 2B, 0 3B, 2 HR, 10 RBI, 4 R, 0 BB, 4 K, 1 SB
The Cardinals grabbed Pete Kozma out of an Oklahoma high school with the 18th pick in the 2007 Draft, and his ability to drive in runs made him an All-Star at two different levels in 2008 and 2009. He kicked off this week with consecutive four-RBI games, first beating up on the Tulsa Drillers on Monday and then putting up a tough fight in a losing effort against the Northwest Arkansas Naturals on Tuesday. He was 6-for-11 with a homer and a double between the two games, and he didn't let 0-for-4 games on Wednesday and Friday slow him down. He homered and slapped out a single on Thursday, and he combined for three hits -- two of them doubles -- a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base between Saturday and Sunday.
California League
Jay Austin, Lancaster
.577/.586/1.038, 15-for-26, 1 2B, 1 3B, 3 HR, 7 RBI, 11 R, 2 BB, 2 K, 4 SB
Astros prospect Jay Austin and the JetHawks had Monday off, and the center fielder clearly came back into action with his batteries fully charged. He went 3-for-5 with a homer and two runs scored on Tuesday and repeated the performance Wednesday, this time adding a double. He went yard again on Thursday, his third time in as many games, and once more scored two runs. He stole a base in each game on Friday and Saturday, and on Sunday he stole two during a game in which he went 4-for-4 with a triple, a walk and four runs scored. Austin, who stole 23 bases during the whole of 2009, is tied with San Jose's Francisco Peguero for the Cal League lead in that category, with 15 thefts.
Carolina League
Brandon Short, Winston-Salem
.412/.412/.676, 14-for-34, 3 2B, 0 3B, 2 HR, 6 RBI, 9 R, 0 BB, 8 K, 0 SB
Brandon Short has been a hit machine for the Dash this season, and he ratcheted it up a notch. The White Sox prospect homered, doubled and scored a pair of runs against Frederick on Tuesday, and by the time Winston-Salem left town on Thursday, he'd knocked out three more hits and scored two more runs. On Friday, he clubbed a homer and doubled, scoring two runs against the Salem Red Sox. He saved his best day for Saturday, though, slapping another double, driving in three runs and scoring three runs while going 5-for-6. Short's 26-game hitting streak came to an end on Sunday, as he ended the week with an 0-for-4 outing.
Florida State League
Eric Campbell, St. Lucie
.565/.630/.826, 13-for-23, 4 2B, 1 3B, 0 HR, 1 RBI, 7 R, 4 BB, 2 K, 0 SB
Try as they might, FSL pitchers couldn't keep Eric Campbell off the bases this week. They were fortunate they didn't have similar problems with many of his teammates -- despite Campbell's five extra-base hits and eight singles, the Mets prospect was unlucky enough to end up with just one RBI and seven runs scored. Nonetheless, a hitter has to be happy with any week that sees him reach base more than sixty percent of the time, and St. Lucie manager Edgar Alfonzo moved Campbell back from sixth to third in the batting order on Friday. Campbell saw action in seven Class A Advanced games last year, hitting .273, and he's showing his comfort level at the plate now. His .340 batting average is good for fifth in the league entering the week of May 10.
Midwest League
Jerry Sands, Great Lakes
.400/.500/.880, 10-for-25, 3 2B, 0 3B, 3 HR, 5 RBI, 5 R, 5 BB, 4 K, 3 SB
Dodgers prospect Jerry Sands was a Player of the Week for the first two weeks of the season, and after hitting .217 the third week, he's slugged his way back to the top of the list. His 12 homers are the second most in the Minors, and he leads the Midwest League in hitting (.385) and RBIs (29). After beginning the week with his second homer in as many games on Monday, he slipped into an 0-for-8 stretch against West Michigan. He singled, walked, stole a base and scored in the final game of that series on Thursday. A triple shy of the cycle in Saturday's game, Sands did the Loons one better by homering twice during his 4-for-4 party. Over the course of Sunday's doubleheader, he collected two doubles, a single, an RBI, a run scored, a stolen base and three walks. Excluding a nine-game run from April 12-20, Sands hasn't gone more than three games without leaving the yard. It shouldn't be long before he's swinging for the fences in the Cal League.
South Atlantic League
Miguel Velazquez, Hickory
.481/.533/.840, 13-for-27, 0 2B, 0 3B, 3 HR, 9 RBI, 7 R, 4 BB, 3 K, 3 SB
Miguel Velazquez becomes the second consecutive Crawdads hitter to claim Player of the Week honors (Michael Ortiz took home the award last week), and his performance helped Hickory win five of its seven games from Monday to Sunday. Velazquez is playing in his first full pro season, and the Rangers have to like what they've seen out of the outfield prospect so far. He's among the league leaders in batting, homers, RBIs and hits, and he scored at least one run in every game this week except for Tuesday's, in which he was 1-for-4 with two walks and a stolen base. On Wednesday, he homered and drove in three runs, and he went yard again and knocked in two on Thursday. Over the weekend, he was 6-for-13 with two RBIs, four runs scored and a pair of stolen bases.

The hip are bored and they want you to know it: Tao Lin's new movie
For those of you friend, fan, foe, or follower (is it alliteration Friday?) of Tao Lin, today's your lucky day. We once wrote that Lin was "a minimalist who has maximized his exposure." It continues on! Looks like Shoplifting in American Apparel will be made into a movie (or mocumentary?). You might already know about this, if you're one o' the above, but for those of you just waking up, have a coffee over here to learn more about the film. The second one for director Pirooz Kalayeh, it is "set to be released in 2012 (provided the world doesn't end) and will ship out in a sleek, glossy DVD sleeve." For now, a bit about the project, which you can also support:
Over the past few years, literary works by Tao Lin have gained increasing popularity, drawing thousands of fans to the unique worlds created in Richard Yates, Eeeee Eee Eeee, and Shoplifting from American Apparel. When Lin's novella was released on Melville House, director Pirooz Kalayeh entered negotiations with the author and publisher to bring the project to the silver screen. Initially planning on a lavish budget with producer Mark Parsia (Co-producer, THE HUMAN WAR), the economic downturn catalyzed a new approach to the film that would utilize both documentary and narrative techniques to highlight writers within the virtual world (Noah Cicero, Brad Warner, Bebe Zeva, Jordan Castro, and Tao Lin) and incorporate new media and animation techniques to reflect the novella's nuances alongside the current economic challenges of creating independent cinema. . . .
The hip are bored and they want you to know it. Shot on a shoestring budget, Shoplifting from American Apparel veers from a straight narrative retelling of Tao Lin's novella "Shoplifting from American Apparel" and heads toward part mocumentary. Director Pirooz Kalayeh's second film is on the trials and tribulations about making an indie movie about a hipster book in an inventive new comedy.
View the trailer below, if you like.

If you notice, the blocks all have a solid line around the edge, then a dotted line. This is to help you square up the block. The dotted line is 1/4" seam allowance. Do not remove the paper until the blocks are joined together. As you said, some of the pieces in the blocks are bias cut. By not removing the paper until everything is joined together, you avoid stretching and making the blocks "wonky". Yes, it is a lot of work to remove all the papers at the same time, but I always do this in front of the TV. I've made queen sized paper pieced quilts and removed the papers after the entire top was put together. Took awhile, but kept the blocks square.
The method I use is probably similar to the fold and cut method mentioned above. I sew on the line indicated on the block using a generous amount of fabric. (I never precut fabrics, I just make sure the piece covers the # on the block I want to sew). I then fold the paper back onto the sewing line (paper is on top) I just sewed. Using a ruler, put the 1/4" mark on the sewn line (where the paper is folded back) and rotary cut off the fabric that hangs over the ruler edge. (I hope this is clear). Press the fabric with the paper still folded back. Now take the paper and top layer of fabric and open them. Press flat. (Clear as mud yet?) Continue on with the next piece in the block. Hope this helps!

I went for smartlipo for ab, thighs and arms. Arms were ok. but, abs and thighs are disfigured badly. Now, I am left with lumps and dents on my ab and disfigured thighs (dent and curved thigh) even after 8 months. When I complained about the same within 3 months, My doctor repeated the same smartlipo surgery on ab and thighs within 3 months of first surgery. Pls help me with solution. I just want natural looking beautiful and even skin that I had, back.

Doctor Answers 6
Revision SmartLipo
Thanks for asking the question! Contour deformities are the most common visible complication following any type of liposuction regardless of the skill level of the surgeon. The abdomen is especially prone to such deformities, but the other areas of concern for you are typically not areas of concern for most board-certified plastic surgeons. I suggest you seek another consultation from a different board-certified plastic surgeon to get another opinion. Best wishes.
Follow up with your surgeon
Smart lipo
Sorry to hear you are dissatisfied. Unfortunately, the biggest risk with lipo, smart or not, is contour irregularities. They also occur more frequently on the abdomen than other areas. From your photos, I think you were a better candidate for a tummy tuck than lipo. You can still have a tummy tuck done and it will smooth out the skin much better than lipo. Unfortunately it is a longer operation and recovery. Also there is a long scar involved. But if you want a flat tummy, that is what you need.

Management of Abdominal and Thigh Irregularities After Two Liposuction Procedures
There are many factors that contribute to the final contouring results from any type of liposuction procedure. One of the very important factors is the quality and elasticity of one's skin. Loose or inelastic skin will not respond as well as one would like when the underlying fat support is partially removed or diminished. Any unevenness in the fat removal process will be magnified when loose overlying skin exists before the procedure. Having been through two liposuction procedures and having uneven results, it is first important that you do not jump back into another procedure for at least one year after the last procedure to give the tissues time to completely heal and stabilize. Further improvement may be possible with a combination of spot liposuction and fat grafting to try and even out some of the irregularities. But the reality is that you will not be able to get back the completely even skin that you once had.

General Surgery Medical Malpractice Insurance
In today's highly litigious society, physicians who perform surgery are at a higher risk of being implicated in a medical malpractice lawsuit. Doctors who specialize in general surgery are no exception. General surgeons will usually experience lower medical malpractice insurance premiums than cardiovascular surgeons or neurosurgeons for example, the cost for coverage of general surgery can still be high. According to the American Medical Association, today roughly 5% of physicians classify themselves as general surgeons.
The limits of liability for general surgeons varies from state-to-state. $1,000,000/$3,000,000 limits are common in most states, but it is important to find out what your state requirements are before purchasing coverage. The eQuoteMD representatives can help you choose the best limits for you depending on your state, practice, and hospital affiliations.
Most general surgery medical malpractice insurance policies can include coverage for prior acts. This means surgeons do not have to purchase tail coverage from their previous insurance company when making a change. Every situation is different, and there are cases where it is not necessary to purchase retroactive coverage, such as physicians new to practice coming out of residency or a fellowship program, physicians previously covered by an occurrence policy, or physicians employed by a hospital or group where a tail has been purchased.
Many studies today suggest the workload for general surgeons will continue to incrementally increase until 2020. Primarily, there has been a decrease in general surgeons per 100,000 citizens in the United States in the last 25 years. Some estimates based on the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' numbers suggest that the ratio of general surgeons per 100,000 residents has dropped nearly 25% since the 1980's. Coupled with this fact is the increasing age of the population. As the baby boomers age, they will require an increased amount of medical attention. One study concludes that the workload of general surgeons will increase another 15% in the next 10 years.
Due to the high premiums surgical physician classes experience with their medical malpractice insurance coverage, it is important to find the lowest premiums while still having adequate and secure coverage. The physician is ultimately responsible to ensure their practice is protected. General surgeons applying for medical malpractice insurance must completely disclose the full scope of procedures they will perform during an insurance policy period. Additionally, the number of procedures and the proportion of their time performing them must be relatively accurate on the application.
If the type or amount of procedures general surgeons perform dramatically changes during a policy period, they must let their insurance company know. Your personal independent broker will ensure your coverage has been changed accordingly and that you are able to maintain adequate coverage for your medical practice.

Hyundai's 2012 3.8 R Spec Genesis coupe
Early Tuesday morning I get a call on my cell phone. It's from a man in the lobby of my building. They never come up to the 4th fl) I go to meet a tall thin man who, after a bit of small talk, passes me the keys and scurries off in a hybrid Elantra. I make my way out to the lot with mixed emotions, on the up side, for the next 7 days I'm taking hold of a 350HP, RWD sports car with a good ol' fashion 6 speed gearbox. What's troubling is that it's made by Hyundai. Now don't get me wrong, I know Hyundai does well in economy class and also with their new Genesis sedan. But I have yet seen a true performance car from them. What am I to suspect when it comes to chassis and suspension? After all, if they don't match up with all that power, it will make for a very disappointing week.
Exterior – The 2012 Genesis coupe is surprisingly mature. Long gone are the oddly shaped panels of the Tiburon. When viewing its profile, the new Genesis somewhat resembles the G37 The smooth slopping lines flow nicely across the hood and roof. The lines across the side moldings, curving over the wheel wells are well proportioned and placed as well, giving the car a more mature sporty look. Sporty but not with sharp creases or jagged lines. Part of the Hyundai family but clearly standing on its own. And the new Genesis carries that theme through every angle Until you follow the lines down the hood and arrive at the front grill. And when you do you will notice the lines do become jagged and the wide mouth front end looks much like the Nisan GTR, it really obstructs the harmony of those beautiful lines. That aside, it's a spectacular looking carmovie The Boss Baby
Interior – Flowing nicely from the outside appeal, the new Genesis has a mature looking interior but its not quite on par with the outer appearance. The seats are nice and firm but comfortable, they do a good job of holding you in place in when you get into some more aggressive driving. Its what you would expect from a part time track car. The instrument cluster is simplistic. With a prominent tach and speedometer, with digital temperature and fuel gauges on smaller dial inside the speedometer and tachometer. This is a mistake to me, Id much rather have a real needle for these indications. Especially the temperature. I also found myself wanting a bit more color and style in this cabin. My seats were a nice contrasting red and there were small red door cards to help break up all the black. But that was it! When seated behind the wheel the appearance isn't as striking as it is from outside the car and you begin to notice a mismatch of quality vs corner cutting. Eg, the steering wheel wrap feels nice and firm but the gear shifter (although it looks pretty) feels plasticy. And the placement for the radio and climate controls feels and looks all wrong. While the window switches and door locks are well thought out and perfectly positioned high up on the door and out of the way.
Tech – – This being the R-Spec, sacrifices in creature comforts were to be expected. Eg. No heated seats, no climate control, no home link. This makes sense, Shave weight and produce a slightly faster and better handling car. However, the connection between performance and some of the items absent from the car don't compute. e.g. The standard 170watt, 6 speaker monochrome display head unit. There is no option to upgrade this head unit to the 360 watt infinity head unit. And the opening for the radio is custom. So to finagle an aftermarket head unit into that space will require a decent amount of modding. Now, this is what I don't get- I'm guessing the premium head unit with better controls and a 7" color touch screen adds about 5lbs. That's not going to make or break anyone's lap time. Why not make this an option? I don't feel a car company should limit a buyers entertainment options as music and Nav are very important to buyers. Below the radio controls are another unique item. 3 analog dials monitoring Fuel, Torque and Oil (Which I feel should be exclusive to the R-spec). As a track car, oil pressure can be useful and watching the amount of torque created can be fun. But the placement is not ideal. You would have to look too far away from the road to get the readings. I would also like to see a chronograph in the R-spec with stop and start switches on the wheel. I would use that far more frequently than any of the existing gauges.
Bluetooth is standard as well as an IPod and usb jack. The Bluetooth worked rather well with my iphone, but the cable for the ipod appeared to be an afterthought. The cord is about 3"s long and plugs in behind a little door in front of the shifter. The cord is too short to move your ipod to the glove box or another safe location and the slot behind the door is too shallow to hold a standard Ipod or iphone. So while driving you risk launching your device. The bottom line on the R-Spec is this. You're given what you need and nothing more. It offers very little in terms of premium tech gear.
Performance –
When a car carries the badge "R Spec", you expect the characteristics of a track orientated car (even though there's a "track version" which is suited for comfort not track) So I was more then willing to put the coupe through its paces. At the turn of the key, I cracked a grin. I'm guessing you will to. As the cars 306Hp 3.8 V6 produces a nice low rumble, pretty close to what you would get in a V8. Not at all what I was expecting from Hyundai. But sound is only one aspect, and a small part of the experience in comparison. How does the R-Spec drive, corner and brake? Now eager to drive and find out, I exit the lot and begin my first drive. I quickly noticed that the throttle was very sensitive. A smooth/modest roll- off in 1st is actually a bit tricky to get use to. The power of this big V6 is there when needed and comes trough very linear, making it a comfortable car to drive fast. Turn onto a twisted road however and it's a mixed bag. I didn't feel as comfortable cornering at speed in this car. I know the road well and I know how fast I have entered this particular corner in other cars, but in this car, I find myself backing off the throttle. The back just didn't feel planted. When I forced myself to enter hot, the car took it with no fuss, skidding or skating. So it's not that it can't, it just feels like it can't. And feel is a large part of what makes a track car. I found that the brakes were a good fit for the R-Spec. Pedal feel and stopping distance were a good match for the V6 engine. And the car is easily controlled as well thanks to the Traction and stability control, which can easily be switched off. And off is the position I preferred. While off, the car is actually well behaved, even when driven at a spirited pace. However the lack of TC and SS gives the car personality. Stomp the gas coming out of a corner and the back end breaks free then catches traction as expected, making the car so much more enjoyable.
However, when run hard and straight, this car really shines. Much like an American muscle car, the sound and power of the Genisis coupe encourages you to lay flat that throttle and rip down every open straight away you come across. I found myself doing downshift passes all the way home, overtaking everything that didn't have a siren attached. This car can run from 60-110 with such ease. And if you keep your foot planted, you'll soon be in the 140 range. And it's a pleasure to experience as the delivery is smoother then expected. The pedals are orientated well for heel-toe and the shifts are crisp on your way up to 6, while backing down a gear is even more enjoyable, as the engine note changes to a sudden high rev pitch, ready to launch you back into action. Yes, this car is simply fantastic on the highway.
Summary – The Genesis Coupe R spec is a blast to drive. Boasting an awesome sound track, great looks and has the "oomph" that will allow you to run with some of the big boys. All of this is placed in a price range that's under $30,000. But if it's my money, I wouldn't buy, nor would I recommend the R-Spec version. The limited options offer no real benefits for your sacrifices. But as I drove the R spec and enjoyed it more and more, I came to find my real complaint wasn't with the car as a whole. It was with the trim levels. They're confusing. Hyundai should think about re-working this coupe line up to better represent this fine automobile. I would suggest the 3 options below which would be priced from lowest to highest.
Base- keep this one as is.
Track- No moon roof, no back seats, LSD, special sport tuned suspension with bigger sway bars, upgraded brakes, alcantara interior option, special exhaust, sport wing and chronograph clock.
GT – equip this version with a LSD, larger wheels and tires, better seats, NAV, leather, moon roof, upgraded head lamps and a body kit.
Not only do I feel customers would appreciate the clarity, but Hyundai will now be catering to the different pools of drivers that this car attracts.

I have a Franklin submersible pump model 12 GS05412 that has reduced output
The pump is about 10 years old and has worked fine. This year I don't have enough pressure to operate the impact lawn sprinklers as before. I thought this was due to the drought we are in and caused by a low water table. I could hand water and get approx 2-5 gal per min. the pump is about 30 feet deep from the surface.
The ohmic value of the wiring is as follows: green to black, red and yellow-infinity. black to yellow 5 ohms, red to yellow 18.5 ohms, black to red 22.5 ohms.
I pulled the pump and does not appear to have anything, trash or etc., plugged on the unit that would result in reduced flow.
When I pulled the unit the water table is up almost high enough to drain into the shallow 8 foot pit where the electrical is. So this is not the problem of low water table. i don't believe there are any leaks in the water lines.
Check the impeller and make sure its tight on the shaft. Also, the impeller could be worn. If the motor runs without tripping a breaker or overload, it is not the electric motor. It is a mechanical issue.
As the water level above the pump drops, the pump GPM drops because the PSI input to the pump drops.
You could check power draw.
For a 100% efficient pump/motor, HP = GPM x feet of Head/3956. Most Grainger pumps seem to be between 20% and 80% efficient. Small pond pumps come in at 10% or less.
?!?!! Yeah but no...
GPM is determined principally by static head. That is the vertical height from the well water level to the point it is being lifted to. The amount of lift from the pump impeller to the top of the well water is "free" and doesn't impact your GPH.
The resistance measurements posted are about right for a 1/2 HP motor operating at 230 volts.
How many capacitors does the control box have? If it's one, the motor is very likely ok. If there are two, it's possible that the run capacitor has gone bad. This will result in lower RPM and thus, lower pressure and flow.
The sure-fire way to know if the motor is performing as it should is to check current while it's running.
For a 1/2 HP 230 volt motor with one capacitor, the current should be around 5 amps on Y and B; 0 amps on red.
If it's two capacitors, the current should be about 4 amps on Y and B, and about 2 on red.
If the current readings are normal, the problem is not the motor.

Being crowned Miss Aotearoa New Zealand was icing on the cake after a great week learning from the previous beauty pageant winner for Rotorua's Marlena Martin.
The 24-year-old support worker and teacher aide for her brain-injured sister Tui, was crowned at a special function in Hawkes Bay on Saturday night alongside five other contestants.
The former Rotorua Girls' High School student told The Daily Post the entire pageant was a learning curve with the crowning a bonus at the end of a productive week of preparation.
The entire troupe got to spend time with previous pageant winner Angela Cudd, who offered them tips on how to be successful on stage.
"I felt so good. I entered to extend my learning and my experiences. I wanted to learn more about myself and learn about te reo Maori and how to be more involved with my roots ... I feel honoured and plan on making Maori proud."
Still, she couldn't believe it when her name was called out.
"I had to ask myself if that was my name. It was a surreal experience. Quite humbling ... I'd already felt like I'd gained so much from the other contestants and Angela that it was the icing the cake for me really," she said.
Ms Martin will represent New Zealand at the Miss South Pacific pageant being held in American Samoa on December 3.
She also wanted to thank her sponsors, Tamaki Maori Village, The Jade Factory and Westend New World along with her family for their support.
"I've learnt so much. it's been an amazing experience."
Contest organiser and two-time pageant winner Ms Cudd said it was time to hand the crown over.
"I was excited that whoever was going to win the role was going to be a good person."

Dirty Coal, Clean Future by James Fallows
The Atlantic, December 2010
When I have traveled at low altitude in small airplanes above America's active coal-mining regions--West Virginia and Kentucky in the East, Wyoming and its neighbors in the Great Basin region of the West--I've seen the huge scars left by "mountain-top removal" and open-pit mining for coal, which are usually invisible from the road and harder to identify from six miles up in an airliner. Compared with most other fossil-fuel sources of energy, coal is inherently worse from a carbon-footprint perspective, since its hydrogen atoms come bound with more carbon atoms, meaning that coal starts with a higher carbon-to-hydrogen ratio than oil, natural gas, or other hydrocarbons.

Heaven is for Reel
The fourth-annual John Paul II International Film Festival (JP2IFF) is ready to take over Coconut Grove in a holy way. The festival is organized every year by 7eventh Day Media Inc., which is "committed to hosting the annual film festival that will give a home to filmmakers who have chosen to use this medium to express and share a message of hope, struggle, triumph, and love to the world." Though the fest has a religious core, it isn't screening only movies that you would only hear about at Sunday school. The opening-night film is Heaven Is for Real, starring the well-known and well-established Greg Kinnear. Based on the New York Times bestseller by the same name, the film tells the story of a father whose son claims to have visited Heaven during a near-death experience. Heaven Is for Real kicks off the festival Thursday at Paragon Grove 13 (3015 Grand Ave., Coconut Grove). Showtime is 8 p.m., and tickets cost $7 to $12. Visit jp2filmfestival.com or call 305-418-0939.

I certainly approve of the cash dispersion, as the principle-agent problem suggests that highly successful corporations will be tempted to waste their cash hoards on boondoggle investments. So it may be good for the economy. But I don't see how it does much for the zero bound problem. At least I don't see any first order effects. If Apple saves less I'd expect the recipients of this money to increase their saving my an equal amount . . . Those rich enough to own individual shares often have brokerage accounts where the dividends automatically spill into a money market mutual fund. If at the end of the month you have a tiny bit more in the MMMF, and a tiny bit less in Apple stock, but the total of the all assets remains exactly at say, $857,000, are you really going to spend more on consumption? I don't see it.
I don't think the key issue is consumption per se but whether money used to buy Treasuries is equivalent to money used to buy MMMF shares. I think the answer right now is no.
Right now the yield on T-Bills, the Interest on Reserve Rate and the overnight rate at MMMFs are not moving in total sync.
T-Bill yields are near zero, IOR is at 0.5% and MMMF rates have been on a glide path downward and have recently crossed the IOR rate.
One conclusion – that I tend to support right now – is that these products do not have equivalent envelopes, so that adjusting balances between them does have real liquidity effects. In particular, the marginal dollar on a reserve balance sheet will simply be held as excess reserves while the marginal dollar in an MMMF will be reverse repo-ed to a private sector counterparty using non-treasury collateral.
In addition, though I am still working this out in my head, I think an unstated objective of potential "sterilized" QE would be to eliminate this effect by making the Fed the marginal destination for MMMF inflows.
