Tuesday Tax Tip With Andy Stadler 1/29/13
Delay #1 - Congress - Congress passed 2012 tax bill after 1 January which has caused a delay in tax filing season. Taxpayers can start filing their tax return 30 Jan 2013 this means that tax refund checks will be delayed till mid to late February.
Delay #2 - IRS announced they had identified over 28.5 Billion in tax fraud last tax season and most of that fraud is from Earned Income Tax Credit. IRS has recognized that many tax returns that are filed early in the tax season contain Earned Income Tax Credit. So per IRS they are expecting to delay tax return with EITC for 30 to 75 days. It appears that the two top items that IRS is looking for is
-Claiming children with a relationship other than your son or daughter.
-Single males claiming children.
The IRS recognized both of these types of family / home situations as abnormal family units for our society and they have found large amount of fraud in this area.
Delay #3 - IRS had identified several tax forms that are on extended delay because of Congress late passing of tax law. Extended delay means you cannot file these form till 1 March, the forms that affect most people are
-College Student or their parents who are claiming college tax credits
-Home Energy Credit
-Depreciation form 4562, affecting business owners, farmer, landlords
At Stadler & Company we appreciate your business and strive hard to ensure that we keep you informed on tax policy that affects you. As always, dont hesitate to call, email or stop by if you have any questions. Be sure to hire American Elite Tax Experts - Enrolled Agents.
The first known written record of taxes dates back to ancient Egypt when grain, livestock or oils were used instead of money to pay what was owed to the government. Even then, the surviving hieroglyphic tablets records how people complained about high taxes. Some things never change.

Let's make a ladies league playing club together!
Are you fed up with power plays?
Have you felt you are NOT allowed to use your racket skills fully in games simply because of a male dominated badminton world in London?
Have you noticed you can actually have more fun and have more "decent" games in competitive Women's doubles?
Or, do you like simply to improve your racket skills without the frustration from a sheer power difference?
We're looking for serious (but fun) ladies badminton players who want to get together regularly and have a proper training for ladies players.
The knowledge and skills we gain here can be used for both Women's doubles and playing level with male players.
It's a brand new ladies club with a resident coach to make it happen together!
Our regular training time at the moment is Mondays 6:30-7:30pm at Sobell Leisure Centre.
We're currently accepting members to join our training with a pay & play fee of £8.50/hour.
Good racket skills with good understanding of tactics are required. (If you are a member of London STEP UP Badminton, it is "Venus" and up*.) We're currently accepting all keen ladies learners who have learned basics and to make good low serves. (Roughly "Sun" and upwards.) Complete beginners are advised to attend the coached sessions of the London STEP UP Badminton.
All members who are ready for league matches will be invited to join in our league team. (badm!nton)
Feather shuttlecocks are used in our club.
Hope to see you soon! :)

We always knew it was going to prove controversial, but it looks like the T-Mobile and Orange UK merger is set to get the go ahead.
The Times reports that the European Commission is happy to fast track the deal after initially meeting opposition from the Office of Fair Trading, industry watchdog Ofcom and rival networks. Why? According to The Times:
"Orange and TMobile (sic) have agreed to give up some bandwidth, prompting both the OFT and Ofcom to tell the European Commission they are happy for it to rule on the deal."
The meat on this statement is made up of two major parts. Firstly, the duo will give up one quarter of their 1,800MHz bandwidth so as not to close our competitors. 1,800MHz is vital as it is able to send and receive data at much faster rates than 850/900MHz, though it doesn't cover wide areas as easily as these two lower bands. Secondly, the duo have provided assurances to 3 that its network-sharing agreement with T-Mobile won't be compromised - something that would have left the UK's smallest telco at a significant disadvantage.
So as we stand the EC now has until 1 March to refer the inquiry to UK authorities, but that is unlikely to happen. The combined T-Mobile/Orange business will become the leading network in the UK with a whopping 37 per cent market share. This compares to O2's 27.7 per cent and Vodafone's 24.7 per cent, 3 has approximately eight per cent.
Let the fallout begin!

City police laid charges after a man allegedly broke a woman's cellphone and hit her in the face.
Police were called to the 1400-block of Princess Avenue just after 2 p.m. on Saturday.
The two are known to each other, police say.
The suspect was located close by and arrested. As a result of an investigation, a 24-year-old Duck Bay man was released to appear in court in May on charges of assault and mischief to property.

Powder Room Framing Question
I am building a house. I'm not sure of anything. I'm going to have a whole lot of questions as this job preceeds. Right now, here the situation that is bothering me.
I have a licensed framer. I've pestered him a lot. Before I pester him again Monday morning I thought I'd get some feedback from some of the talent on this chatroom.
My problem:
I have a powder room that is partially located under the front porch. The corner of the powder room has a radius on the corner that is under the porch. The parapet wall above the powder room sticks up part of the way through the front porch roof, but not high enough. I'm thinking it kind-of looks stupid because the roof on one side goes higher than the parapet, but meets and follows the radius on the other side. The roofers came once last week, but were rained out the rest of the week. They are suppose to return Monday. MY QUESTION: Can the framer come back and make a higher parapet wall after the roofing has been done or am I stuck with a short parapet wall?
Oops, my drawing of the roof and parapet wall got totally missed up when I sent my thread in. I guess I'm not too good on the computer either. I wish I knew how to send a real picture...
I'm going to take my digital camera out to the site tomorrow and see if I can figure out how to download a few pictures into a message. I'm not a computer person.
Thank you for responding.
Pictures man, we need pictures.
Thank you for the reply. I know, pictures tell the whole story. I'm just not handy (yet) enough with my computer to figure out how to get photos online.
I read on a thread that building is not for the weak of heart. I totally agree!
If you need to put pictures in your post you need to open up an account at photo bucket, it's free. When you open your account you will be able to upload pictures from your computer to it then when you post here click the little icon above that says insert image when you mouse over it and paste the url there and the image will be uploaded to this site.
Hoped this helped, Dave.
Asking around locally, I have found out it would be a total pain and somewhat costly to make the parapet higher. The framers would have to remove roofing down the inside of the parapet wall and some on the roof. Then, the wall would be built up. Next, the roofers would have to come back and do a patch job. I was told it doesn't look too bad... to get over it and move on!
Thanks for your replies. I might not have gotten my problem solved, but I have a great tip on how to get photos posted. Thanks for the time you took to respond.
It's not a problem. Pictures help out in situations like this one where describing what you want to do doesn't make sense to me but with a picture we could possibly have given other options.
Glad to hear you got your problem solved anyway.
So, I've been losing a lot of sleep over this house. (literally) Worrying about almost every detail. I've even thought out where each and every plug will go in the house. I have discovered I am a terrible perfectionist. I just don't know codes well enough to make some of the important decisions I need to make. Unfortunately, the subcontractors, even though they are licensed, don't offer much insight. They just say things like, "If that is the way you want it, we'll do it." My framing contractor, a really nice guy, could have been more informative. He has had to do some things over again in order to meet code.
I decided to get a general contractor on board. The GC that will be helping me out is really good. Now, I can pester him.
I am very impressed with the DIY website! Even though I have a general contractor helping me, I can still learn a lot from the DIY members.
A common problem in the home building business is the need to blame someone else for something that they are not happy with. I know your not trying to pester people but (and I say this kindly) you want someone else to make the decision so if your not happy it's not your fault. I've seen it way too often. I have learned, like alot of your subs, to keep my mouth shut when it comes to suggesting things because if the homeowner is not happy then it's my fault.
This was not directed toward you.
Your freind, Dave.
No offense taken
You speak from experience! You have probably dealt with many homebuilders and have been frustrated with some of the requests they have made of you. If you let them know their requests are not code, hopefully they are open to doing things differently. I'm sure I have frustrated all my subcontractors to varying degrees! I do say thank you a lot when I'm asking questions! I really do appreciate them taking the time to help educated me. I just would like a "that's against code," before we move on.
I can tell from your website that you build with quality. You are a TRUE craftsman. I was so impressed by the photos of your work on your site.
Mike, the general contractor I've got to help is a wonderful trim carpenter, but also a wealth of knowledge concerning code in many areas. Mike has a GB98 license. (I think it's GB89??? I can't remember right off the top of my head.) He has worked as an electrician, knows the basics of plumbing, has remodeled... I should of gotten Mike on board right from the start! Live and learn.
Thank you for your response!
Edit added ...
Oh, back to the original problem, the parapet wall. It's growing on me... (It wasn't a code issue. Just an esthetic thing.)

POUGHKEEPSIE – Marist junior left-hander Rich Vrana (Lindenhurst, N.Y.) tossed the first complete-game shutout of his career as the Red Foxes earned a 6-0 home victory against Manhattan in a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference game on Thursday at McCann Baseball Field.
Vrana struck out seven and issued zero walks. He scattered eight hits, and threw 83 of his 110 pitches for strikes. He did not reach a three-ball count on any Manhattan batter, and improved his record to 1-6.
While Vrana was keeping Manhattan off the scoreboard, Jaspers starter Joey Rocchietti didn't allow a hit to the Red Foxes in the first three innings. In the fourth, freshman designated hitter Tyler Kirkpatrick (Eagleville, Pa.) started a one-out rally with a walk. Senior catcher Zachary Passerelle (Sparta, N.J.) followed with the Red Foxes' first hit, a bunt single which moved Kirkpatrick to second. Sophomore center fielder Graham McIntire (Concord, N.H.) followed with a double off the wall in left to bring home Kirkpatrick with the game's first run. With two outs, Passerelle and McIntire scored on a throwing error, which put Marist up 3-0.
Marist added another run in the fifth. Senior shortstop Nick McQuail (Wantagh, N.Y.) was hit by a pitch to lead off the inning, and went to third on a wild pitch. With one out, Kirkpatrick ripped a ground ball through a drawn-in Manhattan infield, which brought home McQuail with the Red Foxes' fourth run.
Manhattan's best scoring chance came in the top of the sixth. With two outs and right fielder Chris Kalousdian on second base, second baseman Joe McClennan hit a line drive off the glove of Marist freshman third baseman Ben Moller (Warrington, Pa.). However, Moller recovered to throw Kalousdian out at the plate for the final out of the inning.
In the seventh, a throwing error brought home Kirkpatrick and junior first baseman Steve Laurino (Carle Place, N.Y.) with the game's final two runs.
Manhattan outhit Marist, 8-5; the Red Foxes benefitted from five Manhattan errors. Kirkpatrick led the way for Marist offensively by going 1-for-3 with two runs scored, a walk and an RBI.
For Manhattan, Kalousdian, McClennan and first baseman Vin Teixeira had two hits apiece. Rocchietti took the loss and fell to 1-5. He went seven innings, allowed four hits and three walks, and struck out three. He was charged with all six Marist runs, four of which were unearned.
Marist is now 10-23 overall and 3-7 in the MAAC; Manhattan is 8-24 overall and 4-9 in the MAAC. The teams will conclude their three-game series with a doubleheader on Saturday. First pitch of game one, a seven-inning contest, is set for noon. A nine-inning game will follow.

Pak, China ink currency swap deal to boost trade
The two countries aim to step up the bilateral trade to USD 15 billion by 2015 from USD 9 billion last year.
Islamabad: Pakistan and China have concluded a crucial USD 1.58 billion currency swap deal and multi-million dollar pacts to upgrade the strategic Karakoram Highway and a power plant, amid severe strains in US-Pak ties.
The two "all-weather" strategic partners signed six bilateral agreements, including the 10-billion-yuan currency swap deal between China's central bank and State Bank of Pakistan, on Friday.
The pact were inked during a visit to Islamabad by China's top diplomat, State Councillor Dai Bingguo, who arrived in Islamabad on Friday.
During delegation-level talks with Dai, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said, "China was a cornerstone of Pakistan's foreign policy" and that both countries enjoyed "unanimity of views on regional and global issues".
Dai said the two sides should strengthen strategic coordination and expand practical cooperation.
China will step up cooperation with Pakistan in energy, infrastructure and agriculture, he said.
"Going forward, China will reduce tariffs on Pakistani goods and increase imports from Pakistan within the framework of the China-Pakistan free trade area," Dai said at a reception marking the closing of the "Year of China-Pakistan Friendship".
China-Pakistan aim to step up the bilateral trade to USD 15 billion by 2015 from USD 9 billion last year.
Dai's visit to Islamabad coincided with fresh strains in Pakistan-US ties over a cross-border NATO air strike that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers last month.
Pakistan responded to the attack by closing all NATO supply routes and forcing the US to vacate Shamsi airbase, reportedly used by CIA-operated drones. The Pakistan Army has rejected the findings of a US inquiry into the incident that admitted lapses by American troops.

Tragedy and the City
5th-century Athens saw advances in philosophy, rhetoric, literature, science, architecture, and the visual arts; it was a time of almost unparalleled cultural achievement. Tragedy was the premiere literary genre of this period, and it is fitting that the high point of the democracy should be symbolized by a genre of poetry that involves the entire body of citizens. Performed at one of the major festivals of the city, the Great Dionysia, each tragedy was part of a contest. Three playwrights would be chosen by a city official, and each playwright would produce three tragedies and a satyr-play (a kind of farce intended to lighten the mood after three tragedies); all four plays were performed in a single day. The audience consisted of about 15,000 citizens, and the festival itself became a pageant of Athenian power and glory.
We know of many playwrights from this century, but only the works of three men have survived. Fortunately, the three poets we have were universally considered to be the best: Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides. From Sophocles, who won twenty victories (compared to Aeschylus' thirteen and Euripides' four) we have the seven plays chosen by ancient critics as his finest: Ajax, The Women of Trachis, Electra, Philoctetes, and the so-called "Theban plays," Oedipus Tyrannus, Oedipus at Colonus, and Antigone . These three plays are not a trilogy; they were not written in order or performed together at one festival. In fact, about forty years separates the first play written, Antigone , from the last, Oedipus at Colonus ! Each play, therefore, should be considered a separate work, and while Sophocles alludes to his earlier work, he pursued different goals and used different methods for each one.
Oedipus Rex is the Latin title of a play that was called Oedipus Tyrannus in Greek. The English translation is "Oedipus the King." The Ancient Greeks had two words for "king": basileus, which indicated a hereditary king, and tyrannus, which was used for kings who had not inherited their throne, but taken it. Tyrannus did not have the negative connotations that "tyrant" has for us today, although to the freedom-loving men of the Athenian democracy, tyranny of any kind was as unacceptable as it is to us.— Owl Eyes Reader

Salman Rushdie has been caught up up in an unprecedented political/literary affair which for 10 years now has kept the secret services of several countries, armies of diplomats and police, commandos of fundamentalists and an overexcited media busy. He could have become lost in a media mirror- world, where the greatest tragedies turn into virtual reality: witness the case of Diana, whose sorry destiny as a media star he analysed on the pages of Le Monde. But he has escaped becoming a media victim, and first and foremost because he is a writer. Even as he led the struggle against terrorism by a state, he was waging another war against another fatwa - this one less clear cut and more difficult to win.
Those who promulgated this second fatwa were not the fundamentalist mullahs in Tehran, but politicians (sometimes progressive politicians), religious figures (sometimes the most enlightened ones) or even writers (John le Carre). Immediately after 14 February 1989 you could see them hurry to express their solidarity and understanding. Not, however, with a writer threatened with death by a terrorist state - but with "Muslims unjustly insulted over their religious convictions".
One church leader saw a link between the Rushdie affair and the campaign which had been launched a few months earlier against Martin Scorsese's film The Last Temptation of Christ. Once again, he proclaimed, "believers are insulted over their faith: first Christians in a film which disfigures the image of Christ, now Muslims in a book about the prophet". Monsignor John O'Connor, the Archbishop of New York, believed that Rushdie's book was offensive and asked Catholics not to read it. The Chief Rabbi of Israel, the Vatican and Margaret Thatcher also expressed their disapproval, while Jacques Chirac, the future president of France, unwisely declared that he had "no sympathy for Mr Rushdie. I have read what has appeared in the press (ie the first chapters of The Satanic Verses), It's pathetic." But it was Mr Lustiger, a member of the Academie Francaise, who went furthest. He did not hesitate to state that "the figures of Christ and Mohamet do not belong to artists and their imagination" - thus incidentally writing off entire centuries of the history of painting.
Ten years on, the Rushdie affair has shown itself to be the final, and most theatrical, act of a tragedy of which all the protagonists - the media, the mullahs, "enlightened" Westerner and radical Islamist, leaders political and religious - have been one by one unmasked. Be it in Paris, New York, Rome or Jerusalem, literature has been forgotten; the fatwa has become steadily more acceptable and Salman Rushdie increasingly suspect. Only the talent, the courage, and the tireless presence of Salman Rushdie has allowed us to see what is really at stake in this affair: how literature is forgotten amid the hatred of art which haunts this century. It is a fatwa against fiction.
According to this fatwa, Dead Souls is an insult to the doctrine of the immortality of the soul, Madame Bovary is a defence of adultery and Nabokov's Lolita - a novel which it would be impossible to publish today - is a defence of paedophilia. Or take Joyce's Ulysses, once described as "the literature of the lavatory" and as "literary Bolshevism". It was published in Paris in 1922 but remained banned in the US until 1933 and in England until 1937. No matter that, throughout this period, pornographic books, anti-religious tracts and licentious pseudo-novels abounded. It's always literature which is persecuted.
But what's so threatening about fiction? Michel Foucault suggested that there are several levels of censorship: that which covers explicit content (for instance, a catalogue of blasphemous words) and that which covers forms of language that are deemed to go too far "not in their meaning, or in their verbal content, but in their interplay". Into this forbidden and proscribed category fall de Sade, Joyce, Rushdie, Rabelais, Celine and Genet. The fatwa against Rushdie did not punish a crime of opinion. It punished a novel. And not just Rushdie's novel, but the genre of the novel in its entirety.
Nadezhda Mandelstam recounts Kruschev's story of how Stalin once saw a famous actor on television playing the part of a traitor. Stalin was so impressed by the actor's skills that he declared only a real traitor could play the role so well - and ordered that the required measures be taken.
Half a century later, on 13 February 1989, Ayatollah Khomeini was also watching television, and saw the Pakistani police open fire on demonstrators who were protesting against the publication in the US of a book entitled The Satanic Verses. Khomeini hadn't read the book but was so taken with the scenes of massacre on screen that he concluded that a book called The Satanic Verses could only be a satanic book, the sole purpose of which was blasphemy and insult. So he went into the next room and dictated his fatwa on the spot, requesting Muslims the world over "to put to death Salman Rushdie and his publishers, wherever they are found".
It's hard to know whether the lesson of these tales is that tyrants are overimpressionable or that they watch too much television. But they are proof anew of a failing of literary history: a Don Quixote-like confusion between reality and fiction.
When Don Quixote interrupted a puppet show, took his sword and ran through two puppets because they were not behaving in keeping with the rules of chivalry, he was displaying the blindness of Stalin confronted by the actor/traitor. His rigid notion of chivalry denied him that minimum of distance from events, without which parody, the theatre, the very description of something else is impossible.
The crowds who gathered across the world to oppose publication of The Satanic Verses had not read the book. Like Khomeini they were reacting only to the title - as if The Satanic Verses were an anti-religious pamphlet and not a novel; thus do hundreds of thousands of Don Quixotes protest, without knowing it, against the behaviour of an individual, his dreams and his ideas. These are crowds ready to kill on account of beings which are merely the product of paper and ink. But how can you blame them when the West's political and media elites make the same mistake ?
Great works stand out because of the uncertainty they plant in our minds. They do not involve the explicit excesses and obscenities which bring about bans and taboos. Instead, they change perceptions and touch the most sensitive themes, searching out, as Rushdie puts it, "new angles from which to penetrate reality". They strive to create a different hierarchy of the senses, to make us look at ourselves in different ways. The Satanic Verses, after all, is not simply about various episodes from the Koran and the condemnation to death of its author, found guilty of having challenged God's word with his profane words and of having created confusion over identity and origins. It is a paeon of love: to emigration, to cultural cross-breeding, to the sheer exotic richness of modern life. The Satanic Verses turns exile into a defining experience which allows the real world to be re-explored and a new world to be discovered. "America, a nation of immigrants, has created great literature out of cultural transplantation and the study of how people cope with a new world," Rushdie writes.
Today, as a result of migration and nomadism, languages and cultures are moving into a new age. Rushdie's novel testifies to this new and giddy diversity of the human condition, its entanglements and collisions. This is the new world to which The Satanic Verses tries to give shape, with all the attendant risks and surprises.
Rushdie's novel - and this is why it has burst so disastrously into the real world - is an attempt through fiction to gain a grip on the central question of modern life. The question is not the one which confronted writers like Flaubert, Balzac and Proust in their era: how do you enter society? Society then meant the Arnoux family for Frederic in L'Education sentimentale, Rastignac's Paris in Balzac or the Guermantes salon in Proust. The questions Rushdie asks are: how do you enter a world that is absolutely open? How do you come into the world when you belong to several worlds? What are you born as when you are a migrant? In other words, how do you find identity and individuality in a world where all identifications are equivalent and equally possible?
The Satanic Verses is the first great carnival novel of the era of globalisation. It is an immigrant's inside vision of the world - not as something distant and exotic, but with all the conflicts and contradictions that go with the immigrant's condition and the transformed awareness this implies. Perceptions change, not only of time and space, but of sexuality, culture, religion, even of one's own body.
The fall of a plane upon London in The Satanic Verses - which stands for a fall into our Western times and a fall out of a theo-centric world - is the start of a process that reorders our notions of good and evil. Traditional values are not rejected. They crumble gradually. They continue to exist as memories, fetishes, left-overs, cliches. They are carried along, displaced and disformed, in the great swirl of forms and values that constitutes Rushdie's carnival. Kafka wanted to write the world history of a single soul. Rushdie, on the other hand, seeks to bring the great circus of globalisation alive, giving it form and people.
The essential job of fiction, according to Gilles Deleuze, is to invent a people which is missing. With Rushdie and his giants of immigration and the world, we are present at the birth of such a people. It is a people of immigrants, scattered between London and Bombay. It is a people made up of men betrayed, because they have been "moved beyond their origin" and because their values and identities mix with each other and contaminate each other.
This is why the fatwa against Rushdie finds its supporters and not only in Tehran. For modern censorship is first and foremost the tyranny of conformity. Today, we persecute what is unformulated and unbelievable - everything that is different and heterogenous, everything that is being born. It's not surprising, therefore, that in its focus on language, on the individual and his search for new forms of identity, the novel comes up against the drained but still fanatical mob, blindly following the prophets of purity in everything, turning back on their tracks in search of a lost identity, in a futile quest for origins.
The Rushdie affair is different from the Dreyfus case, which produced a clear demarcation between Dreyfusards and anti-Dreyfusards and in which the intelligentsia emerged as supreme defender of right and justice. The Rushdie affair has lacked that clarity, because ultimately it has not been about defying raison d'etat and forcing recognition of the fact that a man unjustly condemned is innocent. It is not about defending established rights or returning honour to a truth scorned. It is about the recognition of a right which cannot be precisely defined and which indeed has yet to be invented. This right involves another sort of compromise between literature and politics. It is the right to fiction, the right to depict things.
The Rushdie affair has become our affair. In some respects it has been played out in the shadows but it has made a huge impact none the less. A festering quarrel that is four centuries old, between literature on one side and religion and politics on the other, has been forced into the open at a global level. Far from being a passive victim, Rushdie has waged a daily war against fear. It has been a strange story of imagination disarmed yet insurgent - what Edward Said has called "an intifada of the imagination".

278 School-Based Health Centers Receive Affordable Care Act Awards
Education Secretary Arne Duncan joined Health and Human Services Department Secretary Kathleen Sebelius on July 14 to announce awards of $95 million to 278 school-based health center programs across the country.
By CS Staff · July 19, 2011
Education Secretary Arne Duncan joined Health and Human Services Department Secretary Kathleen Sebelius on July 14 to announce awards of $95 million to 278 school-based health center programs across the country. Provided by the Affordable Care Act, the awards will help clinics expand and provide more health care services at schools nationwide.
The awardees are currently serving approximately 790,000 patients. The awards will enable them to increase their capacity by over 50 percent, serving an additional 440,000 patients. School-based health centers improve the overall health and wellness of all children through health screenings, health promotion and disease prevention activities and enable children with acute or chronic illnesses to attend school.
"These new investments will help school-based health centers establish new sites or upgrade their current facilities to keep our children healthy," said Secretary Sebelius. "These new or improved sites will help ensure effective, efficient, and high-quality care."
"We know that if kids aren't healthy then kids can't learn," said Secretary Duncan. "These grants will make it a lot easier for working moms and dads to help get their children the health care they need and deserve. This unprecedented investment in school-based health care will bring communities closer together and help children succeed in the classroom."
The Affordable Care Act appropriated a total of $200 million for 2010 through 2013 for the School-Based Health Center Capital Program to address capital needs in school-based health centers. The funds are the first in the series of awards that will be made available to school-based health centers under the Affordable Care Act. The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) oversees the program.
Eligible applicants were defined as a school-based health center or a sponsoring facility of a school-based health center as outlined in the Social Security Act. An objective review committee used the review criteria established in the grant guidance to assess and rank applications. Each reviewer on the objective review committee is screened to avoid conflicts of interest and is responsible for providing an objective, unbiased evaluation based on the review criteria.

text: My oldest sister, who is twelve years older than I am, became a grandmother for the first time, over a year ago. I swear, this has brought out something in her that has made the whole family miserable. (By the way, my sister has always seemed to be a reasonable and stable person--until now.) Of course, we all love the new baby, but my sister's love for her grandchild has gotten way out of control. For one, she's horribly jealous of the other grandmother. Also, my sister goes ballistic if she doesn't see the baby for even four or five days. She spent months talking about how she was going to have Christmas Eve "for the baby," putting up hundreds of dollars of decorations (she told her daughter nothing about these plans). Well, my niece (her daughter) ended up not coming to her house for Christmas Eve, because the baby was crying so much at home she dared not take him out. My sister went crazy over this, and basically ruined everyone's Christmas because of it, bitching and sulking about it for days. Didn't matter that she got to spend all of Christmas Day with daughter and baby, there was no pleasing her. My sister has said that her life is crap, but that the new grandchild is "the one bright spot that makes living worthwhile." The fact is, she has a good marriage, a good job, loyal friends and a beautiful home. 80% of conversations with her are about the baby. Now she's convinced that her son-in-law is trying to keep her from seeing the baby (he isn't), and she's constantly saying, "I have a right to see my own grandson!" Obviously, she has issues! But I have two questions. 1) Does she have a right to see her grandson? I mean, she's not his mother. She already sees him a minimum of once a week, sometimes more--we all live in the same area. It's not as if she needs visitation rights... 2) Have any of you dealt with anyone like this? I love my sister, but she's become such a mess over this, and she's become a total drag to be around. Frankly, I don't know why she even has a problem, but she obviously has a big one, that should be dealt with through psychiatric care (although I know she would never go). Thanks in advance for any insights.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (April 16, 2014) — Environmentalists and locavores aren't the only ones who think and act locally — entrepreneurs do too.
That's according to a new report released today by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation. Presenting findings from a survey of participants at the Kansas City 1 Million Cups entrepreneurship program, the report offers lessons for any city trying to build a strong entrepreneurship community.
1 Million Cups is a weekly event that showcases two startups to engage, educate and connect entrepreneurs through mutual collaboration.
Founded in Kansas City in April 2012, it has since expanded to 33 communities in 21 states. The Kansas City 1 Million Cups program is the largest, attracting more than 250 attendees weekly.
"Think Locally, Act Locally: Building a Robust Entrepreneurial Ecosystem" reveals insights into entrepreneurs' behavior patterns, their connections to community programs, and how they gather and disseminate information.
The report combines results from surveys conducted at 1 Million Cups Kansas City, first in November 2012 and second in May 2013. In addition to entrepreneurship being a local phenomenon, other key findings include:
According to Yasuyuki Motoyama, a senior scholar in Research and Policy at the Kauffman Foundation and an author of the report, one size does not fit all.
"No one entrepreneurial ecosystem can be served by one program," said Motoyama. "Because entrepreneurs and their business needs are diverse, you need a host of programs to have an effective community."
The report explores four postulates to guide entrepreneurial communities, established by Brad Feld, co-founder of the Foundry Group and author of the book Startup Communities.
"While the value of experience in building startup ecosystems is irreplaceable, having empirical evidence like this validates what I've witnessed in communities all over the world," Feld said. "Though a small sample, this research provides proof that cities can foster entrepreneurship if they follow a few simple guidelines."

Best Year Ever
With a production record of 80,000 guitars, including the introduction of the SolidBody electric and Liberty Tree T5 guitars, new product innovations and expanded international distribution, Taylor Guitars ended 2008 as a record year of growth.
"We are humbled to have experienced such a successful year," shared Kurt Listug, co-founder and ceo. "We recognize that economic times are uncertain and people everywhere are suffering from an increase in prices on day-to-day good and services, but their loyalty and passion for guitar playing continues to fuel our desire to build the very best guitars we can."
In 2008, Taylor set out to usher in new products and expand its global reach. The company kicked off the year at Winter NAMM with the official launch of the SolidBody, generating rave reviews from critics, the industry and players alike. The new models included the SolidBody Custom, the SolidBody Standard, and the SolidBody Classic. Later in the year, Taylor released the SolidBody Classic SC model, featuring a proprietary noiseless single coil pickup. Developed by Taylor's leading designers, the new noiseless single coil features strong tonal character, but without the hum, redefining the single coil experience.
Mid-year saw the release of the limited edition Liberty Tree T5 model: a hybrid acoustic/electric guitar, with tops and appointments made from the last Liberty Tree in Annapolis, Maryland that fell victim to Hurricane Floyd in 1999 (video of Jason Mraz performing with Liberty Tree T5 at launch party). Experts declared it a safety hazard and order it felled, and Bob Taylor ordered the wood turned into beautiful and musically inspiring guitars. The cream and chocolate colored tulip poplar wood was initially used in a 2002 limited edition run of 400 Liberty Tree Grand Concert acoustic models and later in a limited edition run of Baby Taylor Liberty Tree models. The remaining pieces were turned into 50 Liberty Tree T5 guitar tops, adorned with stars, the constitution, and identified by state.
At Winter NAMM, Taylor announced an expansion of its international reach to Europe and the Middle East through a distribution partnership with Fender Musical Instruments Corporation. In October, a new distribution agreement was formed with Yamano Music Company in Japan.
For the past 34 years, Taylor Guitars has evolved into one of the world's leading acoustic and electric guitar manufacturers. Upon the eve of the company's 35th anniversary, Taylor looks to 2009 with both excitement and anticipation for new products, announcements and continuing growth of the company.
While at NAMM, visit Taylor Guitars on the second floor, booth number 213. For additional news, please visit www.taylorguitars.com/news/

$ 10.00
Dan Melchior's first release of 2013 (I say that with optimism) is bound to confound 's much as impress. Haters gwan hate ad infinitum, but even still. The din of annoyance at Dan's output by many-a critic is really just the pinched wheezing of prudes, straightenin' their periwigs in a last ditch to cover up nervous bald spots. And don't you go joining 'em; ask me, the good times are just gettin' underway. In the hazy afterburn of The Backward Path, wherein we glimpsed Dan at his most lyrically candid, comes C.C.D.E, where words are half-smothered in the molting earth and linearity is just some other jaunt. Best I can tell, it's a backyard wedding of Assemblage Blues and Excerpts & Halfspeeds, with Lard Free and Yuzo Iwata on the bride's flank. As you might imagine, the voyage into the sunset of these two involves a roaring mutant chassis and plenty of muddy vistas off the backroads of songform. Is that the Texas outland in the distance? Either way, the geography ahead can only get woolier. But with Dan's thoroughly Scotch-taped map at the ready, there's no need to clench yer cheeks. The next turn's just up the road a piece, I swear. - Sebastian Morris White

Australian charged over Rome drug haul
Page Tools
An Australian man has been charged with drug trafficking after he was stopped at an Italian airport, allegedly with millions of dollars worth of cocaine in his luggage.
Italian police stopped the 30-year-old Sydney man at Rome's Fiumicino Airport, ABC Radio reported today.
The man had flown in from Caracas and was on his way to Istanbul.
It was not clear when he arrived in Italy.
Police allegedly found 10 kilograms of cocaine in the false bottom of his bag.
Tests revealed the cocaine was 85 per cent pure and it was estimated to have a street value of $8 million.
The man allegedly said he was a former police officer but had an identity card that showed he was a security guard.
He was travelling on an Australian passport, with a Sydney address, ABC Radio said.
He was charged with international trafficking of intoxicating substances and faces up to 20 years in jail if found guilty.

by Tracy Letts
Director - Christopher Rutherford
When the large Weston family unexpectedly reunites after Dad disappears, their Oklahoman family homestead explodes in a maelstrom of repressed truths and unsettling secrets.
Mix in Violet, the drugged-up, scathingly acidic matriarch, and you've got a major new play that unflinchingly—and uproariously—exposes the dark side of the Midwestern American family.
With rich insight and brilliant humor, Letts paints a vivid portrait of a Midwestern family at a turning point that is "not-to-be-missed" (Chicago Tribune).
Hailed by the New York Times as "hugely entertaining! A ripsnorter full of blistering, funny dialogue, acid-etched characterizations and scenes of no-holds-barred emotional combat." The fiercely funny and bitingly sad "August" is a turbo-charged tragicomedy that is a feast for actors and audiences alike.
August Osage County was the recipient of the 2008 Pulitzer Prize, Tony Award, and Drama Desk Award.
Adult language and content. Recommended for mature audiences only.

I find the TouchPad completely useful. One feature that I found that the Lenovo driver did not have enabled is the Momentum feature. With that I can "throw" the cursor across the screen then "catch" it by touching the TP surface then finish my selection. It's not quite as fast as a mouse but it's close. Besides it's much more entertaining.
Still can't get two finger scroll to work as I'd like it. ( I use "Two Finger Scroll" instead of UltraNav's two finger scroll) I am using the "Chiralmotion" to do scrolling without having to put the cursor onto the scroll bar.
I really like the tap to select. You have to develop a VERY delicate touch. Accidental selections do happen but not frequently enough to eliminate the use of the TouchPad.
I cut slivers of electrical tape maybe .05 of an inch to border the TouchPad. That way I can orient my hand without taking my eyes off my work.
I really like the ThinkPad TouchPad. It's what sold me on my T400. The extra three buttons are very useful. If I enable the TouchStick I can assign different functions to the three buttons. I use the middle button to open items in their own window.
Incidentally, in regards to the sensitivity setting. I've found that the setting really tempers the deeper taps used to select rather than surface sensitivity. Doesn't make sense to me how this hypersensitivity can't modulated. Once I got used to it the hypersensitivity is part of the light feel to cursor control. But it would be good to attenuate somewhat.
The T410 touchpad STINKS. The two finger scrolling is a nightmare. I was using Thinkpads for the past 15 years, never had anything but this one realy destroyed every piece of trust i had with lenovo.
I do undrstand the Apple fans much better now, I might even become one myself.
Shame on you Lenovo
Agree. Won't be buying another lenovo. Just too many Kluges

I can either go through my insurance which is a 1,000 deductable or bring it to a body shop. Just eyeballing it can someone "guestimate" how much something like this would run for repair? I have NO paint damage. Infact the only damage seems to be the stainless portion fo the bumper as well as the plastic piece that houses my front tow hooks.

They really do have the best and freshest seafood in town. I have been to many ofther places and there seafood was higher priced and wasn't fresh. I would go out of my way to go here for there seafood alone.5
This is the only place in town to get your seafood. It is always fresh and it is the best quality. My husband won't go anywhere else. And we love the fact that they steam it for you too.5


text: OK so my brown (Right hand stop, turn) lights on my light bar stopped working. i figured it was just the way i spliced the wires (i made the mistake of using wire nuts and electrical tape. Now my right stop/turn wire doesnt work. I took apart the splice and tried the end of the wire that comes from the front of the truck and that doesnt show up on a test light. I checked the fuse (at least the fuse under the hood that the owners manual told me was the right one) and i still have no power to that wire. Since i spliced into it i voided the warranty on that part of the truck... any suggestions on what to try next or how to run a new trailer wires all the way to the outlet on the back of the truck? i dont think that there is a pigtail anywhere i believe that this come fron the fuse box (feel free to correct me if im wrong). I am going on a trip with my camper in 2 weeks so fixing this issue is at the top of my list. thanks for the help

Saturday Memo: Food on a stick … Help for mental health … Sad zoo news … Seattle winners
Weather: Looks like we're in for a sunny day with highs in the upper 70s, according to the National Weather Service forecast. We should see clear skies over the next few days.
Fair days: It should be perfect weather to check out pigs, quilts, carnival rides and eat too many food items on a stick. The Evergreen State Fair in Monroe continues through Sept. 1. Get all your info here.
Inslee approves millions for psychiatric treatment: Gov. Jay Inslee has approved $30 million to pay for treatment for psychiatric patients being warehoused in emergency rooms or other non-mental-health facilities while they wait for long-term beds to open. Also Friday, the state Attorney General's Office filed a motion asking the state Supreme Court to delay for 120 days its newly-ordered ban on so-called "psychiatric boarding." The motion says if the decision takes effect Wednesday as planned, it could pose a serious public-safety risk. Earlier this month, the state Supreme Court issued a ban on boarding. The state determined that about 200 people were being boarded in Washington and would be affected by the court's ruling. Read more on Friday's actions by the government, and the health and civil-rights issues at stake, as the Wednesday deadline approaches.
Elephant dies at Seattle zoo: Woodland Park Zoo's African elephant, Watoto, on display for more than four decades, was euthanized Friday morning after Seattle zookeepers found her collapsed and unable to rise in an outdoor exhibit yard. The 45-year-old elephant was discovered about 7 a.m. after zookeepers arrived to work. Attempts to lift her with cloth straps and heavy machinery failed. Watoto's death elicited widespread public condolences, and underscored the continuing debate over whether it's right to hold elephants captive.
Seahawks bury the Bears: Sure, exhibition games don't matter. Be sure to tell that to some Bears fans. Maybe it will help. The Seahawks scored every time they had the ball in the first half in the 34-6 pre-season rout.
Mariners: In a game that does matter, the M's came from way back in the ninth inning to beat the Red Sox 5-3 at Fenway Park. Catch Saturday's game at 10:35 a.m. on ROOT sports (Channel 30).

Welcome to the 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop! From December 1st to December 12th, Danielle from Creatively Homespun will be hosting 15 AMAZING bloggers that are all showing off some of their favorite Christmas creations. Get prepared to be awestruck with some incredible recipes, DIY projects, and gift ideas!
Each day at least one blogger will be sharing a project of their choice. We can say with full confidence that you are sure to find something to inspire you for this joyful holiday season.
Today, on this "5th day of Christmas", I'm busting out the Christmas songs and including them in my home decor. I took a few of my favorite Christmas lyrics and added them to some birch logs. I've been using birch logs a lot lately. I can't seem to help myself – I have them laying around and I got them for next to nothing. I shared all my secrets for buying birch logs here, in case you love birch wood as much as I do!
For these pillars, I used a basic image transfer technique to make sure my letters didn't look like chicken scratch.
Basically, you print the words using an inkjet printer. Then, shade the back of the paper with pencil. Trace over the letters with a pencil, and when you take it away, you'll see a faint tracing of the letters.
I decided to try out my wood burning tool (I also use this to heat-seal cut ribbons to stop them from fraying and for cutting stencils) to make the letters. I had the wrong attachment for it, so it was a bit frustrating and didn't turn out quite as perfect as I'd like. You could easily just use a paint pen to write the lyrics on the logs, too (which in hind-sight is what I think I should have done).
I added a little bit of gold gilding wax to bring a little shimmer to the tops of the logs.
They'll be easy to move into other areas of my home as I decorate for the holidays. In fact, I should probably move them away from the fireplace, because my daughter loves to help by throwing stuff in the fire.
I hope you're feeling the holiday spirit just as much as we are! Be sure to keep popping by the other bloggers throughout the 12 days!

The Official Google Checkout Blog announced on Thursday that they now have Google Checkout Trends. Patterned after Google Trends, Google Checkout Trends charts the data of relative revenues from merchants using Google Checkout.
This allows the user to see a picture of what items are popular over time, and how two items compare with one another. For example, you can search for "ipod, zune" to see which item sold better last month.
According to David Wurtz, "If you're interested in how sales of Batman or Spider Man paraphernalia compare, or are wondering just how popular Ugg boots are these days, visit Checkout Trends for a glimpse into online shopping. Go ahead and try it out – and get creative with the searches. You may be surprised at what you find."

Like a lot of you, during the summer, my thoughts turn to putting things up for the winter. Though, instead of the usual green beans and tomatoes, mine almost always involve alcohol. After making cranberry liqueur and orange liqueur last year, and totally loving them, I decided to expand my alcohol preserving a bit this year.
So, I turned to one of my favorite putting up books, Jam It, Pickle It, Cure It: And Other Cooking Projectsby Karen Solomon. Seriously, a book that has this sentence: "Make your own bacon, cheese, marshmallows, and more" on the cover, is my kind of book!
I can't tell you how this turns out, because it's still seeping, but I have yet to meet a homemade liqueur that I didn't love. I might leave it as limoncello, but I might do her recipe for limoncello di crema, where you add a milky simple syrup mixture and keep it in the freezer, which she recommends as then serving as dessert shots! Sounds good to me!
Like most liqueurs, this is really easy, it just takes time. But if you need help, Coco has experience!
- 8 lemons
- 1 1/2 cups vodka
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
Peel the zest from 4 lemons, avoiding the white pith. Pour the vodka into a clean, wide mouth jar, with a tight fitting lid. Add the zest, seal the jar and let sit for 2 weeks, shaking the jar daily. Then strain and discard the lemon zest.
Make the simple syrup by combining the sugar and the water in a small saucepan. Heat until the sugar is dissolved. Let cool completely and add the fresh squeezed juice from the remaining 4 lemons (straining out seeds). Add the lemon syrup to the vodka and let it mellow for about 6 more weeks.
Store it in a cool dark place, or in the freezer.
Makes about 3 cups.

Transformers: Rescue Bots - Season 1 Episodes
"Family of Heroes"
The four members of Rescue Force Sigma-17 emerge and are greeted by the Autobot leader Optimus Prime, who assigns them to work with the Burns family on an island. While the four are supposed to respond to every command the humans give them, they get fed up with it and are tempted to leave Earth. This changes when an animatronic dinosaur attacks the island.
"Under Pressure"
While Chase and Chief Burns pursue an out-of-control robo-landscaper through Griffin Rock, Cody Burns reports that the rest of the team might be delayed, as his siblings are having trouble coming to terms with the fact that their rescue vehicles are alien robots. A volcano suddenly threatens the island of Griffin Rock, sending the Rescue Bots and Burns family into action. The group has to put aside their differences and work together in order to save the island.
Dani gives Blades a new scoop claw in order to take a more integral part of the rescue missions. However, the pair manage to complete subsequent missions by themselves, leaving the others out of the action. Kade and Graham argue with Dani about this, while the Rescue Bots threaten to remove the scoop claw from Blades. Blades goes on patrol with Dani and Cody, but are struck by lightning during a storm. The rest of the group settle their differences aside and head out to save them.
"Flobsters on Parade"
After Heatwave grows fed up with maintaining his robot disguise, Chase, Blades, and Boulder must battle hundreds of jagged claws when an enormous swarm of snapping lobsters overruns the annual Griffin Rock summer festival.
"The Alien Invasion of Griffin Rock"
Huxley Prescott is determined to dig up scoop about aliens invading planet earth. However he finds that his enthusiasm could indeed put many people in danger. The Rescue Bots also question their disguise to sustain that 'robot' image for the public instead of revealing their true identity.
"Cody on Patrol"
When Cody super-charges his go-kart to help in the team's rescue missions, he accidentally unleashes a swarm of futuristic nanites.
"Four Bots and a Baby"
The Rescue Bots are enlisted to watch after Doc Greene's Robo-Baby.
"Walk on the Wild Side"
Boulder decides that the team needs an animal mascot, but maybe a zoo isn't the best place to find one.
"Christmas in July"
The Burns Family and the Rescue Bots have to stop a snow storm in July when a weather machine goes haywire.
"Deep Trouble"
A shark targeting high-tech ocean equipment is spotted off the Griffin Rock shore.
"Return of the Dinobot"
An intruder hacks into Griffin Rock's central computer and wreaks havoc.
"The Other Doctor"
A scientist tries to replace the team with a new invention, leaving everyone out of the action.
"The Reign of Morocco"
Cody looks for proof that the new scientist's invention is really a villainous plan.
"Small Blessings"
The Rescue Bots are accidentally shrunk and the Burns family must work without their partners.
"The Griffin Rock Triangle"
The Burns family learns of the Griffin Rock Triangle and watch film reels about said phenomenon that are taped by Professor Anna Baranova. They embark on an underwater investigation and stumble upon the Midgard, a laboratory that has been trapped near an ocean trench from a methane explosion. They scope the laboratory's interior, where they find Baranova who has been inside for 28 years. Baranova initially refuses to leave her new home, but, after Cody's motivational statements, decides to detonate a bomb to her laboratory and move back to Griffin Rock.
"Rules and Regulations"
When Heatwave leads his team into a lethal situation, against Chief Burn's orders, Chase must find a way to help them, while following the rules.
"The Lost Bell"
The Rescue Bots and Cody get separated from the Burns family during a thunderstorm, and drift to a remote island. There, the team learns how to survive like pioneers. They also locate a pirate ship, and inside lays a bell that was stolen from Griffin Rock by pirates about 200 years ago. The next morning, the team departs the island with the bell on a pirate boat. On their way back to Griffin Rock, they are able to locate and reunite with the family.
"Bumblebee to the Rescue"
The Rescue Bots and the Burns family investigate a meteor that has landed on Wayward Island. Bumblebee arrives and joins with the group, while receiving remote assistance from Optimus Prime. When the particle components emanated by the meteor immobilize the Autobots and render them mute, the Burns create an antidote that reverses the effects.
"You've Been Squilshed"
Doc Greene acquires a slimy green compound, the "Squilsh", from Mars, and summons it to life with a mild electric shock. The Squilsh devours anything in its path and grows progressively bigger after each meal, and it eventually rampages through Griffin Rock. Graham and Boulder apply their engineering knowledge towards efforts of defeating the creature.
Doc Greene accidentally releases a swarm of bugs from the town's museum, the Hall of Inspiration. As the bugs disperse throughout Griffin Rock, the citizens mysteriously disappear and are teleported to an underground cavern. Cody and Frankie contact Professor Anna Baranova, who explains that these bugs are called "tracers", programmed to protect the town's population from a forthcoming cataclysm. The location of the cavern, however, has never been disclosed historically, so the Rescue Bots are forced to figure out such location in order to save the fettered citizens.
"The Haunting of Griffin Rock"
The Burns receive mass calls of ghostly spirits supposedly haunting Griffin Rock. In an analysis conducted by Frankie, these supposed phantoms are merely holograms depicting the town's pioneers. These holograms were also used as a ruse for two escaped convicts to engage in criminal actions unnoticed. Pioneer Charlotte Wayne (also known as the Lady of Griffin Rock), however, is witnessed to be a potentially real ghost, because she has never been registered into the town museum's database, so there exists no corresponding hologram for her.
"Little White Lies"
The kids are covertly planning a surprise birthday party for their father. Chief Burns tells them he is heading to the docks, but actually takes a trip to the bakery for a cake, as a present for his family, thinking that they forgot his birthday. Chase discovers this to be a lie and is confounded by this. While setting up the party back home, the kids and the other Rescue Bots realize that Chase and Chief Burns are missing, and search the entire town. Eventually they discover the two trapped inside an underground mine, and save them from the flooding water and falling rocks.
"Shake Up"
Seismic waves shake Griffin Rock, but they are artificial and caused by a reverberating woofer hidden underground. Such loudspeaker is inadvertently connected remotely to Doc Greene's jukebox, where Doc Greene is practicing his dance moves. Meanwhile, Frankie creates a music video that includes footage of the Rescue Bots. Suspicious, she follows them into an underground tunnel during their mission to remove the loudspeaker inside, and attempts to converse with Heatwave. When the rocks are falling from the tunnel ceiling, Heatwave breaks from his "robot" character to save her, during which she finally learns of the Rescue Bot's secret.
"Rescue Boy"
Doc Greene invents a repulsor badge that allows the wearer to be invincible. Cody uses it to participate more on the front lines, in missions with the rest of his family, against Chief Burns concern of his safety. His superhero status, however, is halted when his repulsor badge is overloaded and projects a nonstop field, enclosing him inside. Boulder uses neutralizing gloves, also invented by Doc Greene, to bypass the repulsive field and successfully remove the badge from Cody, shortly before it detonates.
"It's a Bot Time"
Doc Greene calls the entire Burns family to demonstrate testing of an abandoned time machine. He sends his helper bot Dither into the time warp, which takes the Rescue Bots, Cody, and Frankie along with them. They are transported into the year 1939, with no discernible method of returning to the present. Optimus Prime—informed by Chief Burns of the dilemma—and Bumblebee also travel back to 1939, to provide their Energon (the predominant energy of the Autobots) needed to repower the machine. All the time travelers manage to return to the present, but much to their devastation discover that the timeline has been altered, as they had inadvertently left Dither behind in the past.
"Bot to the Future"
The present-day town of Griffin Rock, renamed "Moropolis", is ruled by Doctor Morocco and his MorBots. The protagonists scourge the town and arrive at the Hall of Inspiration, where they encounter Chief Burns, who, despite having no memories of them, takes them to his fire station. Morocco calls upon an entire armada of his MorBots to launch a mass attack. The Burns family retaliate with their Mobile Headquarters (MHQ) vehicle; the Autobots partake in smashing the MorBots. The group returns to the past with the MHQ, where Heatwave reclaims Dither, and travel back to the present day, with their original timeline restored.

The Institute of Medicine's (IOM) landmark 2001 report, Crossing the Quality Chasm: A New Health System for the 21st Century, identified six goals (safety, effectiveness, efficiency, timeliness, equity, patient-centeredness) and emphasized the need for "big, bold, transformational change…radical and sustainable."
The widely circulated document did not influence specific or sustainable solutions to address preventable adverse events and improve patient outcomes. Today, it is estimated 400,000 lives are lost annually due to avoidable medical errors. According to the July 17, 2014 U. S. Senate Subcommittee report on "Primary Health and Aging," medical errors are now the third leading cause of death in the U.S. after heart disease and cancer, and one in three hospital admissions result in harm to a patient.
In Paul Plsek's 2014 book, "Accelerating Health Transformation with Lean and Innovation, in which he references the IOM groundbreaking report, he writes, "Unfortunately, innovation often faces both mental and structural barriers in healthcare. It requires the insight and courage to challenge the mental valleys of tradition, assumptions, roles, and 'we've always done it this way thinking.' "
It was this reality that shaped the vision for the University of South Florida Center for Advanced Medical Learning & Simulation (CAMLS) during the seven years leading up to the opening of its new center in February 2012. Deborah Sutherland, PhD and USF CAMLS CEO, recognized the need for an innovative center where healthcare education and training could be reinvented and practiced in a realistic, clinical, learning environment.

Viral Marketing Mechanics HTML version
Viral Marketing Mechanics 19 February2008
Start Viral Marketing Campaigns Using E-
Viral Marketing sounds like something bad but it is really something very good. It
is, also, one of the most powerful way to generate traffic to your website.
If you think about how a virus spreads from one person to another, your viral e-
books work in much the same way. One person gets sick and just by sneezing they
can give the virus to many more people… those people get sick and share their
germs with everyone they know and the next thing anybody knows is that there is
an epidemic. That is the very concept of viral marketing. The idea is to get
everyone possible to spread your marketing message around because they want
Now let's look at using an E-book to start your viral marketing campaign. First
you create an E-book… a really good one that has links to your website, to your
sales page and affiliate links to products and services that you recommend… and
you give it to three people. In the book you encourage those three people to give it
to their friends and family.
Before you know it the E-book is spreading across the Internet like wild fire.
Digital information duplicates easily and quickly so before you know it,
thousands of people could be reading your free E-book.
Make certain that you let people know that they have permission to forward the
E-book around the Internet. When you create the E-book, you have the right to
give people certain rights. One of those rights could be that you allow them to
give the book to other people. Make it clear that this book is free to give away.
You can write the E-book yourself, use private label content or you can hire a
ghostwriter to prepare the content. There are a lot of ways to create an E-book.
Once you have your E-book written, use software to create your E-book.

Date of Stay: September, 2014
We spent five days here waiting on repairs to our truck and found this park nice. If you have pets, this is a great park as it has a fenced pet area and is also right next to a local hike and bike trail where you can walk for miles with your pet. The laundry room has a number of machines and the pool is covered each night to keep it warm. The cable channels are limited and ABC goes dark during prime time. If you have satellite on your rig, some trees may block your signal. We recommend that you do not take site 30, as your front door will be only 6" from the road in and out of the park. This site should be overflow use only. Other sites are fine. Very close to grocery stores and you can purchase gas/diesel/propane in the park.
Date of Stay: October, 2013
We found this RV park by chance and will never forget our stay here. The owners are fabulous and gave us great advice on things to see and do around Torrey. The park's backdrop is towering red rocks with Boulder Mountain on the other side. Large sites with fire rings, picnic tables, and good Wi-Fi. They have a nice gift shop and carry some groceries, ice, firewood, etc. No specific area for a dog walk because there is a nice perimeter suitable for any pooch. Also very close to numerous trail heads. We were originally planning to stay five nights but ended up staying nine because we liked the area, the park, and the people so much. Will stay here again.
Date of Stay: October, 2013
Park has many nice trees and areas that separate tents from RVs. Did not use bathrooms or laundry. Some road noise. Had to rig platform to drain waste water because their sewer was too high for proper drainage. Wi-Fi was mostly not working and dog run was small, fenced in litter box. We had several folks around us who let their dogs run loose and use our grass patch as their potty station. We mentioned it to the front desk but we found dog-doo in front of our trailer just about everyday. The park is in a great location and is well cared for. Be mindful of their pricing schedule and they have "holiday" pricing that occurs during local events. We ended up paying $53 for a Sunday night because a marathon race had been run earlier that day. Would probably not stay here again.
Date of Stay: September, 2013
This is actually a decent park set up like a running track right off the highway. The problem here, like much of Clovis, is that it is right on the railroad track and when the wind blows from the south the smell from the stockyards is nauseating. Nice enough park but just skip Clovis because I don't think you can escape trains and livestock issues anywhere in this area. Decent Wi-Fi and a nice fenced dog run. Also have a small, covered picnic area. Unfortunately, that is the only shade.
