The kitty love of my life, Helmet Head Handley, went to the Rainbow Bridge on Sept 17th 2009. He died suddenly, unexpectedly while I was out helping out a neighbor with some kitties she could no longer keep. I came home to find Helmet gone, in the span of maybe an hour. How I wished I was there; could have been with him and comforted him. I haven't been able to write because the pain is still too deep. His passing ripped my heart out. Time has eased the pain a little, but as I sit writing this, I am crying, today, almost 9 months after his passing. I miss him every day and have his ashes next to my bed side. There will never be another like him. He was such a special kitty; with a huge heart. I will never forget him and hope to see him again.
Rest in peace my beautiful boy.
Well, it's been awhile since my last entry. Lots going on, where to start? Last August I had another appt with Internist in C Springs. Told me that my heart was getting larger - started me on Atenolol - while freaking out my human who was distressed about my heart worsening. Later, I learned she called the vet school in Ft. Collins CO to see about getting me into see a Cardiologist. We got in and were told that my heart hadn't gotten larger at all - changed my Atenolol to twice daily - and sent me on my way. 3-month check-up was holding on - 6-month check up was still going strong. Heart-wall thickening has lessened.
Bad news: I have IBD. Better than Lymphoma, but still not good. I am now down to 13 lbs and holding. Now I get pills jammed down my throat twice a day, some chemo drugs to boot, Atenolol, Enalapril, Prednisone, wow - does the list end? Yes, I think that's it. I can't keep up. I know when she's coming now...
I'm back in AZ after being in CO for the past 9 months. Guess my human felt bad about not spending time with me especially as I get older. So, here I am, back in the cave, windows shut, A/C crankin', and hating the triple digit heat. Anyone heading to CO soon, can I hitch a ride?
Old age is a witch. My brother Bacio, canine variety, just had his spleen removed due to a tumor. He's 13. Between my HCM, IBD, his tumor, Kenzo's distressed ligament problems, Skeet's UTI, you'd think we were living in a nursing home.
Until next time - keep living the dream!
June echo report is good! I went all the way to Colorado for my test! There is a great heart doctor there who treats me very special!
I can wait another year for my next test!
Although, I think a teeth cleaning is on the horizon. I hate going to the dentist! He must be very careful and it could be a potentially dangerous procedure, but my heart is strong and doing well, I can handle it!

'Lost' children of inmates
Statistics on the whereabouts and well-being of each child of a prisoner are urgently required to draw up a policy for this "vulnerable group", according to an expert in children's rights.
Until their identification and monitoring becomes standard practice, it is unlikely they will benefit from a policy addressing their needs, says lawyer Ruth Farrugia, senior lecturer in the University's Faculty of Laws.
In her paper, The Rights of the Child Whose Parents are in Prison, which was published in the Children's Legal Rights Journal, Dr Farrugia puts the onus on the State to ensure that the child's right to well-being is protected and to offer appropriate support.
The lack of knowledge of the number of these children and their individual situations is a matter for concern as policy formulation is dependent on a clear picture, she argues.
"It is highly probable, but unverifiable, that a large number of children are affected by parental imprisonment in Malta."
Calling for regular and official data on this group, she says that once it is readily available, the State would be legally responsible for responding to each individual's needs.
"It is bound to respect the right of the children to maintain personal relations and direct contact with both parents, unless it is contrary to their best interests."
Parental obligation does not diminish through the imprisonment of one of the parents and they have to continue responding to the rights of children listed at law, she argues. Where parental authority is unable and unwilling to ensure the child's human rights, it is the State's responsibility to do so.
"The State has to ascertain parenthood at every stage, where detention is possible.
£Once it is established that the person charged, or sentenced, is a parent, the next step would be to establish the impact detention would have on the children," she says in her paper.
However, she adds, the State cannot work in a vacuum and requires "reliable and current information to plan accordingly and make appropriate policy". Apart from the dearth of statistics, Dr Farrugia also points to "reluctance" in the face of the need for data collection, saying key personnel shy away from the responsibility of creating another group of children requiring monitoring and care – something not surprising given the pressure on welfare structures.
The imprisonment of anyone has an effect on individuals other than the person being punished, and particularly in the case of children, Dr Farrugia highlights.
"Sentencing a person to prison invariably has a profound, immediate impact on the child, including the possibility of multiple changes in caregivers and addresses, loss of parental support, income and stability."
Society has come a long way from the notion of "the sins of the father", and research has also clarified that children with an imprisoned parent constitute a highly vulnerable group, Dr Farrugia points out.
Studies also suggest that a child-focused approach may contribute towards breaking the cycle of inter-generational imprisonment.
Dr Farrugia also argues that due deliberation has to be given to the impact of a parent's imprisonment on the child before the decision is made.
Economic, psychological, educational, health and logistical support for these children could be a requisite, though not necessarily, she says, adding that the possibility should be explored anyway and plans put into place at the earliest stage.
Dr Farrugia suggests a State agency should be identified to be responsible for this work, with court monitoring to ensure its delivery.
Facts and figures
• In the EU, it is estimated that 800,000 children are separated from their imprisoned parent every year.
• Approximately 50 per cent are younger than 10 and a third will become adults while their parents are still in prison.
• Precise numbers in Malta are difficult to estimate, although Mid-Dlam għad-Dawl's survey on the 78 prisoners with children revealed a parentage of at least 122, while as yet unpublished research listed 14.1 per cent of children in the care system as having a parent in prison.

Tottenham plan to move for Roma midfielder Miralem Pjanic before the transfer window closes next week, according to sources close to the Serie A club.
Andre Villas-Boas last week revealed he wanted to add creativity in midfield and his top target, Porto's Joao Moutinho, is likely to be outside Spurs's price range at £25million.
Villas-Boas was also interested in Rennes midfielder Yann M'Vila but Spurs are now giving consideration to Pjanic, who signed a four-year contract with Roma last summer after joining from Lyon for £8.6million. He is now valued at about £12m.
Sources in Italy claim Pjanic could swap one capital city for another if Roma resist Manchester City's interest in Daniele De Rossi.
In the 4-2-3-1 system Villas-Boas is deploying, Pjanic could play either as one of the defensive pair or as part of the three-man attacking line which supports the lone forward. And at both Lyon and Roma, the 22-year-old Bosnia international was comfortable in a 4-3-3 set-up, which remains Villas-Boas's preferred system.
Tottenham have also made an enquiry about City winger Adam Johnson and they are also determined to add at least one forward before the end of the month.
Despite the obstacles regarding his salary, Spurs are confident that they can conclude a deal for City striker Emmanuel Adebayor. The club have also been working on an offer for Leandro Damiao. The Brazilian is believed to be keen to move to north London but negotiations have been delayed by a failure to agree a fee with his club, Internacional.

(DRIGGS) – A grizzly bear that had been terrorizing Teton Valley residents last week has been euthanized. Tyler Andersen has more. Authorities say the bear was killed by trappers from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on Sunday. The 3-year-old bear had been tearing through garbage cans and had been spotted in several residential areas and subdivisions. Officials say the bear had become accustomed to eating human food and was no longer afraid of people. The bear had been relocated to Idaho after spending too much time in Wyoming apple orchards last year.

Square Enix has said we'll be treated to our first glimpse of the elusive PS3 version of Final Fantasy XIV next month.
We were surprised when Square promised the PS3 version for a 2012 release (hell, we're shocked its still coming at all), and now producer Naoki Yoshida has said the first PS3 screenshots and info for the revived MMO, now subtitled 'A Realm Reborn', will be released next month.
To quote:
"We'll be releasing the initial information [on the PS3 version] around mid-October," Yoshida told fans in a recent online chat session. "I believe we'll have screenshots first, but please hang in there," he added (thanks Siliconera ).
According to its announcement last year, Square will release the PS3 version of FFXIV between October and December of 2012. To coincide with the release there will be a play-for-free period for the game as well as a mandatory client update for PC users.

Hell, even the fact that an electron or photon can only be described by a purely mathematical wavefunction sits better with me than saying that a string, a physical entity, is as small as it gets and is comprised of nothing but itself. I think I would feel better about strings if I thought about them as points of vibration giving rise to particles/forces rather than an actual "thing", per se.
A point that vibrates leads me to the question: what is doing the vibrating? Even if it is posed that these strings are made of something smaller, I prefer that the smallest part, at whatever point in the search for the smallest part we are at, is still made of something. I think that while string theory complicates some things (dimensions?), it is also in a better position to combine micro and macro physics for a reason. Ultimately, that reason is having a smallest part as opposed to having a zero point.
Again: big bang could not have started at one point. Just doesn't make sense. ;-)

Three years ago Sea The Stars was retired from racing, after his swashbuckling three-year-old season which was capped with his Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe win and the belief he would become a licence to print money as a stallion.
This prediction was spot-on as Sea The Stars earned almost €12 million in his first season at stud. Connections placed a €85,000 service fee on the superbly bred individual and declared he would be restricted to 140 broodmares at the Aga Khan's Gilltown Stud in County Kildare, Ireland.
That quota of broodmares was quickly filled and most breeders who paid the expensive service fee were handsomely rewarded because most Sea The Stars yearlings sold for fabulous profits this year.
However, that pales in significance with what Frankel will be earning for Khalid Abdullah's Juddmonte Farms set-up in Europe when he begins stud duties next year.
The service fee for the highest rated European performer in history - his Timeform rating was 147 compared with Sea The Stars' 140 - which was unbeaten in 14 starts will result in him being the highest priced first-season stallion ever.
There are suggestions from the European media that Frankel's minimum price will be €100,000 ($126,000) and some punters said it could go as high as €150,000. If €100,000 is the price then Frankel will gross €14 million for 140 mares or €21 million if the price is €150,000.
When you consider that Frankel won a total of £2,999,302 ($4.64m) from his 14 wins over three years of racing, it was an easy decision to retire him when his earning capacity as a stallion was taken into account.Frankel's sire Galileo is the most expensive stallion worldwide; his price is on application by breeders. It is rumoured Galileo's fee this year was €150,000 but judging on results at the Tattersall's sales in Britain it could increase to €200,000 next year.
Galileo's progeny earnings have soared to £5,555,159 since January 1 (280 runners have represented him for 99 individual winners of 142 races). He's the kingpin stallion and Frankel is out of a daughter of Danehill, so what more can you want?
US numbers strong
A first-season son of Galileo was the busiest stallion in North America this season after Cape Blanco covered 220 mares at Coolmore's base at Ashford Farm in Kentucky.
Cape Blanco is at Sir Patrick Hogan's Cambridge Stud in New Zealand where he is standing alongside Zabeel at a fee of $NZ20,000 ($15,700).
He was a tremendously versatile galloper and endeared himself to American breeders last year when winning three of the country's top races in succession, the Man O'War Stakes, the Arlington Millions and the Joe Hirsch Turf Classic. He was prepared by Aidan O'Brien and retired with nine wins and £2.6 million from 15 starts.
Second most popular US sire was Cape Blanco's stud mate Scatt Daddy with 217 mares covered, then Kitten's Joy with 211. Uncle Mo, which is serving his first southern season at Coolmore's Jerry's Plains base, was fourth.
A total of 1861 stallions served 35,391 mares in North America, down from last year's total of 36,504. In Kentucky, 224 stallions covered 15,361 mares, which is 43.4 per cent of the broodmare population recorded.
It was interesting to see the popularity of the Darley and Coolmore stallions which shuttled to Australia this year. Lonhro, last season's champion Australian sire, was in huge demand; he covered 102 mares, the maximum placed on him by Sheikh Mohammed.
Bernardini was the biggest earner of Darley's shuttlers with 148 mares at his $US150,000 service fee, while Hard Spun was the busiest, covering 154.
Medaglia d'Oro served 140 mares, Street Cry covered 128 and his sons, Street Boss and Street Sense, served 120 and 114 respectively.
The other Coolmore sire to shuttle here was Henrythenavigator, which served 115 mares at Ashford Stud.
Vinery Stud's three shuttle sires - More Than Ready, Big Brown and Congrats - all had big books in Kentucky with totals of 93, 141 and 131 respectively. Big Brown was injured before his planned trip here and his season aborted, but he'll return next year.
Emirates Park's Artie Schiller, which is fully booked this season, served 126 mares in the US, while Ready's Image, which stands at Lincoln Farm, was once again popular in the US covering 129 mares. He is value at his $5500 local service fee.
French connection
The three-day Arqana yearling sales began on Monday at Deauville in France and one of the more intriguing lots was the full brother to super-stayer Dunaden, whose sir Nicobar stands for just €1000 in France.
It was hardly surprising to see David Redvers, the bloodstock agent for Dunaden's owner Sheikh Fahad al-Thani, sign for the colt at €130,000.
In a coincidence, the colt already has a name - Nico De Borepeir - as did the $4,125,000 Galileo colt Redvers bought a week earlier, which has been named Hydrogen and was highlighted in last week's column.
Redvers also bought the second-top-priced lot on day one at Arqana, a Galileo filly for €200,000; the top lot was a Galileo colt for an additional €10,000.
Zabeel's legacy
Zabeel, the leading sire in Cox Plate history with four winners, has a twofold interest in this weekend's edition at Moonee Valley, as a broodmare sire with Ocean Park and Southern Speed.
Zabeel's four winners are Octagonal (1995), Might and Power (1998), Savabeel (2004) and Maldivian (2008) and the Cambridge Stud sire is about to complete another breeding season there. Ocean Park is by Thorn Park from Zabeel mare Sayyida, while Southern Speed is by Southern Image from Zabeel mare Golden Eagle. All up, Zabeel has sired 101 stakeswinners through his daughters, 21 of them at group 1 level. Ocean Park has won three group 1s this season, while Commanding Jewel (Thousand Guineas) and It's A Dundeel (Spring Champion Stakes) are also out of Zabeel mares.

Cindy Going to Ireland
Cindy Sheehan is on her way to Ireland to meet tomorrow with the Irish Minister for Foriegn Affairs Dermmot Ahern, and with other Irish officials, including several Members of Parliament. Ireland is a land of writers -- let's hope for a good report!

Somehow, I am getting the feeling that, on the day that the war begins with Iran, the headlines on this group will be something along the lines of "Cindy Sheehan goes to an anti-war dentist".
There has been increased sabre-rattling between Israel and Iran over the past week, with reports that Israel will attempt to 'resolve' this issue by the end of March, 2006 militarily if it is not resolved diplomatically before then. And these were followed, of course, by denials...sort of. But anyone who has been following the story should be able to see the improbability of any diplomatic resolution; so....
But it appears that the 'anti-war' and 'alternative' political and news sites on the Internet are, for all practical purposes, obsessed and distracted by things that have happened mostly in the past--things like 9/11 and any number of other things whose significance will evaporate into thin air when (probably not if) the war breaks out with Iran. Not to underestimate the seriousness of such issues at the present time; but a war with Iran will change these things in ways simply unimaginable.
It is almost a rule of thumb that, when the MSM (main stream media) FINALLY becomes aware of the significance of any particular story, it is already too late; those in positions of power have merely moved on to the next complication. In fact, it is almost as if the MSM has merely taken the bait, are feeding hungrily on a juicy piece of meat, while much more momentous things are occurring without any response at all by the media.
At first, the story about Cindy Sheehan was quite significant. It appears she gave the MSM the excuse they needed to begin to address the problem of Iraq with some seriousness. But it is reasonable to ask just how long that can be considered to be the most important story. The situation has changed significantly from what it was before she arrived on the scene. This must then be taken into consideration when trying to determine whether there is not something much more pressing. Otherwise, there is a danger of the whole problem being reduced to nothing more than 'the continuing saga of...(supply the name)".
At the moment, 'the hand-writing is on the wall' about Iran.
Problem is, people are not even so much as looking at the wall, let alone reading the hand-writing.

Since 2000-01, Pitt is 28-15 overall, has claimed two Big East Championship titles (2003 and 2008), won more Big East Tournament games than any other league program (20) and advanced to the Big East title game in seven of the last 12 seasons. Pitt was also named Madison Square Garden's "Team of the Decade" and Jamie Dixon was named MSG's College Basketball "Coach of the Decade (2000-10). Historically, Pitt appeared in the country's first-ever nationally televised game at Madison Square Garden on Feb. 28, 1940, a 57-37 win over Fordham. Pitt's roster is always filled with New York area players including Tray Woodall (Brooklyn), J.J. Moore (Brentwood, Long Island), Dante Taylor (Greenburgh), Chris Jones (Teaneck, N.J.) and assistant coach Brandin Knight (nearby East Orange, N.J.).
Pitt head coach Jamie Dixon was born in New York City and his family lived there. At MSG, Dixon owns a 20-13 all-time record, captured a Big East Tournament championship (2008), guided Pitt to four BEC Championship game appearances, coached in his first-ever game as head coach at MSG (vs. Alabama, Nov. 14, 2003) and led Pitt to the 2K Sports Classic/Coaches vs. Cancer title in 2010. Each year, MSG hosts the Maggie Dixon Women's Basketball Classic and the Maggie Dixon Heart Health Fair. The event, held in Dixon's sister, Maggie's honor, has become the nation's premier women's college basketball event.
Pitt is competing in its second all-time Preseason NIT event. The Panthers advanced to NYC in the 1991 Preseason NIT event after defeating Manhattan and upsetting Kentucky. At MSG, Pitt dropped a 74-63 contest to Oklahoma State, then defeated Texas 91-87 in the Consolation Game.

Since 2000-01 at MSG, Pitt has won two Big East Tournament titles (2003 and 2008), advanced to seven league tournament title games in 11 years and won more Big East Tournament games (20) than any other BEC program.

Ellicott remembers Memorial Day 2001 tornado
Twister resulted in new school, improved safety measures
ELLICOTT, Colo. - Monday's tornado in Oklahoma has the residents of an El Paso County town recalling a twister that struck 12 years ago.
"The darkness was the big thing," said Ellicott music teacher Chris Smith. "Usually, it's bright. It was just dark everywhere."
The tornado touched down just before 7:30 p.m. on Memorial Day -- May 28, 2001. Many residents still were out of town, or just returning, from the holiday weekend. The twister hurt 18 people, left 60 others homeless, destroyed the town's high school and caused nearly $9 million in damage to the school district alone.
"We had kids in the building that Monday," said Danielle Van Esselstine, a former teacher who's now the school's principal. "They left about 10 minutes prior to the tornado hitting."
Dejon Sanger, secretary for Ellicott School District 22, said many residents moved away after the tornado. However, Smith said new residents moved in to replace those who left.
"I learned how a community can be devastated in just a short time -- and how a community does pull together in a short time, as well," said Sanger.
The town has tried to learn from the tragedy. The 2001 fall semester started on time in portable classrooms. A new high school was built and opened seven months after the tornado. The school contains reinforced walls for added safety.
"Where we originally had students in our evacuation plan, we would have lost a lot of students (in the tornado)," said Van Esselstine.
A federal grant paid for building a sturdy concrete tornado shelter located behind the middle school. It's designed to protect students from the middle and elementary schools, and the general public if necessary. The shelter also was used this past winter to shelter stranded travelers during blizzards.
Patrick Cullen, the district's new superintendent, said it's the first time he's worked in a district that has a separate tornado shelter.
"I think we're as prepared as we can be," said Cullen. "But I don't think you can ever prepare for what happened in Oklahoma."
Smith said the district takes tornado drills more seriously now.
"When you're practicing it, it may (seem) just another drill," he said. "But practice it the way you're going to perform it."
District staff offered advice and encouragement for the Oklahoma tornado victims.
"Just kind of be there for one another," said Sanger. "Just do the best you can. If help is offered, definitely accept that."
"The big thing is assessing where you're at," said Van Esselstine. "We really had to look at our procedures and make sure we changed what we needed to protect our kids. Then, work together as a community."

Follow meander to the platform the traverse out to the well-positioned arete o sadly it is often rather dirty.
Initial groove is awkward, out of keeping with the rest of the route and best avoided by walking round! The arete itself was very dirty when we climbed it and the inital moves to get to the arete v height dependant!
Surely the arete must be HVS 4c? Apart from a psychological micro wire and tiny cam, my last gear was about 3m below my feet when I made the hard move to the top break.

|RE: st: string function problem
|Wed, 20 Aug 2003 13:47:48 +0100
I think you're right in finding the help unclear. I suggest a wording more like string(n,"%fmt") converts n into a string using %fmt numeric display format. What was found with an early version of -tostring- was that users missed precisely this point, so a trap was put in to catch the error. Any string format is just bounced back at the user. -tostring- is pertinent, because it's another way to do it: . tostring a1, gen(y) format(%16.0f) There's no gain in terms of what you type, but there are some advantages, like that mentioned, and some other safeguards. -tostring- was added to official Stata on 13 August.

Yesterday was Halloween so its surprising that this morning I already have images on Dreamstime.
It came about because Highland Council arranged entertainment on Ness Islands for the evenings on Friday and Saturday 26th and 27th October. This was a brave decision because at this time of year, the islands situated in the middle of the River Ness can be flooded and / or underwater. The illuminated islands are reached by a bridge across the river and have many large trees. The tradition of Halloween goes back to the Pagan holiday of Samhain. This was replaced by All Saints Day also known as the Day of the dead.
Many Wiccans and modern Pagans celebrate the day of the dead. It is the day the souls of dead people come back to Earth. Here are a few of the images I took using my Nikon D700 with off camera flash. Capturing the pictures is challenging with the participants constantly moving outside and in dark areas under trees. The answer is of course to take lots of images and to analyse them , as usual, at 100%. If you cannot see the eyelashes in an image bucket it. Here is a zombie girl

Unlike some Texas operations, there are no permanent blinds overlooking a corn feeder. The ranches are very large, there is a variety of cover, and ample natural food for the game animals. Hunting is done 'safari style". You and your guide creep about in his Jeep, looking for game. When you spot it, you try to figure out how to make a sneak on the animal. Even though there is very little hunting pressure, the game is always very wary. This is NOT some 40-100 acre game farm!! The terrain is relatively easy, but you will do a lot more spotting, glassing, and stalking, than you will do shooting!!!
I usually go in the first week of December, but this year we went a month early. It was the wettest year in 15 years in south Texas. By my, and the guide's, estimation, we could only hunt about 20% of the ranch this year. Everything else was under some water, or was a sea of mud. Being a very wet, very warm year, the foliage was very dense. BUT- this is hunting! No outfitter has control of the weather! Despite conditions that could be discouraging, I was able to get my usual Classic Eight deer, and was able to find a Nilgai.
My guide was nothing short of amazing, in his efforts and techniques, to be able to get me within about 120 yards of the big, old bull. This was my wife's 3rd trip down to the Punte. She marvels at seeing all the different African exotics that we will encounter as we are hunting. She is as enthused as I am for our next trip down in there in 2016. I can't recommend Mr. Greg Simons, owner of WSI, highly enough. He is unarguably the best outfitter in Texas, and one of the best I have ever hunted with in North America. His camp managers and guides are some of the best in the business. He has a wide variety of ranches under lease, offering hunts for all manner of exotics, including Kudu, Sable, Eland, Nilgai, Oryx, Gemsbuck, Lechwe etc., in addition to a wide variety of deer hunts. He also can book you a free-ranging Aoudad sheep hunt, or an elk hunt in SW Texas, and an excellent antelope hunt in NE New Mexico.

The Code allows you to install an equipment-bonding jumper inside or outside of a raceway or enclosure [250.102(E)]. If installed on the outside of the raceway, its length cannot exceed 6 ft, and you must route it with the raceway or enclosure. Although the length of this jumper does not exceed 6 ft, this piece of strapping iron (normally used for mechanical-type purposes) is no substitute for a properly sized conductor.

Steps to install Hadoop 2.x release (Yarn) on single node cluster setup (pseudo-distributed mode)
Hadoop 2.x release involves many changes to Hadoop and MapReduce. The centralized JobTracker service is replaced with a ResourceManager that manages the resources in the cluster and an ApplicationManager that manages the application lifecycle. These architectural changes enable hadoop to scale to much larger clusters. For more details on architectural changes in Hadoop next-gen (a.k.a. Yarn), watch this video or visit this blog.
This post explains on installing Hadoop 2.x a.k.a. Yarn on a single-node cluster.
- Java 7 installed
- Dedicated user for hadoop (not mandatory)
- SSH configured
Steps to install Hadoop 2.x:
1. Download tarball
You can download tarball for hadoop 2.x from http://apache.cs.utah.edu/hadoop/common/current2/ (hadoop-2.4.0.tar.gz ).
Extract it to a folder in your home directory say, $HOME/yarn.
$ cd $HOME/yarn (Optional)
$ sudo chown -R hduser:hadoop hadoop-2.4.0

Western Bay children are being charged more than the national average to go to the doctor.
The average cost of a GP appointment for 6 to 17-year-olds in the Western Bay is $26.18, compared to the national average of $22.31.
Of the 26 centres, one charged more than $40 for an appointment and four others charged more than $35 per visit.
Two provided free care for children up to the age of 18, and six charged $25 or less.
Western Bay Primary Health Organisation (WBPHO) general practice co-ordinator Donna McArley said the higher price was probably due to the low Maori and Pacific Island population in the Western Bay.
Practices where Maori and Pacific Islanders made up more than 50 per cent of their enrolled patients were eligible to receive extra funding, known as Access funding, so they could lower the fee charged directly to the patent, she said. Ms Mcarley said the high number of Access funded practices in areas such as South Auckland could be bringing the national average down.
Te Puke centre Nga Kakano Foundation Family Health Services, one of two Access funded practices in the region, provided free care until a child turned 18, and for those 65 and older.
Practice administrator Nicola Kihirini said the funding received from the WBPHO allowed the clinic to keep their fees low.
All general practices were given some funding from the PHO but it was up to individual clinics to decide how to spread it across the patients. Ms Kihirini said Nga Kakano Foundation Family Health Services allocated its funding to make sure the most vulnerable had access to health care and did not suffer because they could not afford it.
"We're a local organisation and we're not-for-profit, so our main concern is our clients."
Many of the clients could not afford to pay for their children to see a doctor and, without a free provider, would delay seeking treatment until the situation was so bad the child was hospitalised.
According to WBPHO records, Gate Pa Medical Centre was the cheapest of the centres which required a payment charging just $20 for a child between 6 and 17 years old.
Practice manager Lorraine Anderson said the centre made a conscious decision to subsidise the cost for children because they knew there was a need in the area.
"We realise that people around this area just can't afford it and we would rather see the kids than have them go without," she said.
Gate Pa was a high need area and price was always an issue for families around the clinic and, despite their best efforts, some families would delay going to a doctor until they found themselves in hospital, she said.
Dee St Medical Centre was one of the most expensive in the Western Bay, charging $33 for 6-11 year olds and $40.50 for 12-17 year olds.
A spokesperson for Dee St Medical Centre said while a fee of $33 applied for 6-10 years, their GPs did have the discretion to reduce that cost in certain circumstances and often did so.
The Green Party wants a maximum fee of $11.50 set for the 6-17 age group and further reduction later, in return for bigger subsidies from the Government.
Labour health spokeswoman Annette King also supported increased state funding to reduce fees for children.
Tauranga Household Budget Advisory Service manager Diane Bruin said that when people were already struggling to cope, medical bills could add a huge burden on families.
Mrs Bruin said if clients were struggling to manage to pay their medical expenses, she often referred them to the Kaitiaki Nursing Service, which provided free nursing clinics around the district, including changing bandages, doing blood pressure checks and some sexual health services.
She said the huge variance in doctor fees was surprising, but urged people to pre-pay known future doctors' visits at $5 to $10 a week so they did not have to pay the bill in one lump sum.
Mrs Bruin said if people were struggling she also encouraged them to be upfront with their GP or medical centre and try to negotiate a time payment arrangement.
Ms Mcarley agreed price was often a challenge for young people but free doctors and nurses were available in schools and through community programmes such as Kaitiaki Nursing.
"The things teenagers do turn up for are progressive things like STDs, and then we have the high suicide rate in youth, so if we make it cheaper, hopefully they will think about going sooner."

One Tree Hill Synopsis
The fifth season of "One Tree Hill" will be unprecedented in the annals of television drama, as the show leaps forward four years. Season four ended as the young characters graduated high school and season five begins post-college, four years later. Some of the characters have found success while others have failed. Some are the same, some are very different. And while their storylines will actively move forward, the show will also dip into the past, returning to incidents and events of the last four years, sometimes for a moment or a scene, other times for an entire episode.

Even stars have to be checked when they're headed to their gate!
Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev are two of the most glamorous stars in Hollywood, but even their good looks couldn't stop them from being forced to go through airport security!
Ian, 32, and Nina, 22, were stopped at LAX on August 8 and subjected to the full scanner treatment. Hopefully they left their nail clippers at home!
What do you think, HollywoodLifers — should famous people be able to skip airport security?

Gary man gets 56 years in toddler's fatal shooting
A northwestern Indiana man has been sentenced to 56 years in prison for fatally shooting his daughter after learning the child's mother wanted to move to Texas.
Twenty-five-year-old Cordell Richardson shot his 19-month-old daughter in the chest and himself in the head in August 2009 in the parking lot of a Gary restaurant.
The Times of Munster reports that Richardson pleaded guilty to murder in September without a plea agreement in place. The Gary man faced a maximum 65-year sentence before Tuesday's sentencing.
Testimony during the hearing indicated that Richardson was distraught at the time of the shooting over the possibility that the child and her mother would be moving away.

The driving force of our lab is the curiosity and desire to understand why the biological systems are the way they are. We are often attracted to long-standing questions in biology, for which quantitative, inter- and multi-disciplinary approaches are essential. Some of these questions include: What is the driving force underlying chromosome segregation in bacteria? What is the relationship between growth and cell cycle? What is the origin of the plasticity of cell shape? While our research is naturally question-driven, we also develop tools when necessary. In doing so, we try to meet the highest standard in the relevant discipline (be it physics, biology, or engineering). We value both logic and intuition, but more of "night science" than "day science."

Braylon Edwards
That video doesn't do him justice.... But I did like the fact that it showed he can take a big lick and still hang on.
I agree, but I didn't think the Troy Willimason video did him justice either. I think JD and Calcio could do a better job. As a matter of fact, I bet both could hook up with some agent and make a ton of money.
I just became a Braylon Edwards fan. And wasn't cuz of his receptions. I like the blocking. Showed he doesn't take it lightly.
Yup... still if you want to see Edwards at his best... watch the 4th Qtr and OT of last years MSU v MU game. WHOA!
Man, I was looking all over for a BE highlight video and had zero luck

A teenage girl was killed in a high-speed horror smash just weeks after getting the all-clear from cancer, an inquest heard.
Jade Best, 19, died instantly when a sports car being driven by pal Adam Ruthven, 27, lost control and ploughed into a hairdressing salon.
Soldier Danny Hague, 32, who was in the passenger seat at the time, also died at the scene.
Jade had celebrated her birthday just days earlier and had been given the all-clear from cancer a month before.
The teenager was described after her death as "a strong character who got over her cancer", which she had received chemotherapy treatment for.
Following the crash on the evening of September 16 last year, her parents said in a statement: "Jade was a happy-go-lucky person and had a lovely outgoing personality that meant she embraced life to its fullest.
"She had recently been given the all-clear following a cancer diagnosis and had so much life left to live.
"We are devastated by her death and that she has been taken from us in such tragic circumstances."
The inquest on Friday heard the black Mitsubishi Evolution car was travelling at around 115mph in a 30mph zone when the driver lost control and narrowly missed another car before crashing.
The car was travelling towards Bradford after the trio had been drinking in The Royal pub in the nearby village of Denholme.
The inquest heard how one onlooker described the crash as being "like an explosion".
Post mortem tests showed that married dad-of-two Mr Ruthven and Mr Hague - a Lance Corporal who was on leave from serving in Iraq - were over the drink-drive limit, which may have contributed to Mr Ruthven's loss of control.
The coroner was told CCTV suggested keen car enthusiast Mr Ruthven was driving no less than 100mph and possibly "in excess of 115mph".
Minutes earlier, the Mitsubishi had overtaken a vehicle containing two people who commented that "it was going to kill somebody".
Road traffic accident investigator Keith Rayner told the coroner that it was an "unbelievable speed", and that residents had commented on the car's noise and speed earlier on in the evening.
Paramedic Jodie Halls told the hearing: "I arrived first at the scene and saw lots of people, with the car embedded into the building.
"There was someone giving CPR to the driver. When I opened the rear door on the driver's side I saw a young woman laid across the back seats. "She had no pulse and wasn't breathing, I knew she was dead.
"The driver was also dead, we worked on the passenger giving him further CPR but he died soon after."
Coroner Tim Ratcliffe, recording verdicts of accidental death, said: "Mr Ruthven knew the area well and was well aware of the speed limit.
"His speed was excessive and frightening to those who had seen the car that evening."
He told the families: "You have lost loved ones at an early age, and for this I am very sorry."

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
The Sunlight Foundation, a group that pushes for more transparent politics and policymaking, on Friday reported that federal records show that two mystery companies in September donated over $12 million to the super PAC of FreedomWorks, the tea party-supporting organization that this week was rocked by the abrupt resignation of its chairman, Dick Armey, the former Republican House majority leader. These contributions accounted for more than half of the $23.2 million the group raised for the 2012 campaign, and they came from two shadowy Knoxville-Tennessee-based firms—Specialty Group, Inc., and Pike Development LLC—that publicly have no reason to exist other than apparently to make contributions and mask the true source of the money. Moreover, Armey tells Mother Jones that he knew nothing about the donations or the origins of the cash and that he quit FreedomWorks partly because of a lack of transparency.
After the Sunlight Foundation posted this report—noting that the sources of this funding "remain shadowy"—Mother Jones contacted Armey and asked if he had been aware of these contributions and of where the money came from. He replied, "I know nothing about this."
That seemed odd. He was until last Friday the chair of FreedomWorks. Shouldn't he have been in the loop? "This kind of secrecy is why I left," Armey maintained. He added, "I have never seen anything like this before."
Mother Jones then reached Matt Kibbe, the president of FreedomWorks (whom Armey has accused of misappropriating FreedomWorks resources for his own personal benefit), and asked if it was unusual for the chairman of an outfit to be in the dark about half of the group's funding. "Well, we have 81,000 individual donors," Kibbe replied. Indeed, but only two donations that account for over $12 million. Nothing curious about Armey not being in-the-know? "It's not unusual," Kibbe said. He continued: "I don't know about these [donations]. It's the first time I've heard."
This seemed even more bizarre. Would Kibbe not know where half of the money for his group's super PAC came from? In fact, in September, Associated Press reported,
A shadowy Tennessee company donated more than $5 million to a prominent conservative super political action committee days after establishing itself…Campaign finance reports filed late Thursday show that the political committee, FreedomWorks for America, received seven donations totaling $5.28 million from Knoxville-based Specialty Group Inc. The money, which accounted for about 90 percent of FreedomWorks for America's donations during the first 15 days of October, is helping pay for TV ads supporting conservative candidates for federal office.
That money helped underwrite a massive $1.5 million television ad buy targeting Democrat Tammy Duckworth who was challenging Rep. Joe Walsh (R-Ill.), a leading tea partier. At the time, a FreedomWorks spokesman declined to comment, and the registered owner of Specialty Group, William S. Rose, stayed mum, as well. (The money didn't help; Duckworth won the race.)
When asked how he could not be aware of these hefty donations, Kibbe requested that he be sent the Sunlight Foundation article and said, "I'm not supposed to comment before reading."
Armey's bad-blood departure from FreedomWorks—which yielded him an $8 million payout—has created a bigtime dustup. And the group's big secrets may well be in jeopardy.
