A great deal of the support for Dual Credit is carried out by the Dual Credit office, but there are some elements of the Dual Credit system that require PCC Faculty and academic deans to play an active role. These responsibilities are summarized below.
Point of Contact
Division Deans will serve as the point of contact for the Dual Credit office to identify PCC faculty for establishing the articulation and conducting regular assessments.
When a high school proposes a Dual Credit course articulation, the Dual Credit office will contact the appropriate Division Dean (for multi-campus SACs, generally but not necessarily geographically determined).
Establishing the Articulation
Approval of High School Faculty:
- The Division Dean evaluates the qualifications of the high school faculty and completes PCC's Instructor Approval Form.
- High school Dual Credit faculty are approved according to the same criteria as on-campus faculty, which are published on the PCC Instructor Qualifications website.
- Approval via Demonstrated Competency or Provision Approval is an option that requires evidence of demonstrated competency or appropriate conditions for provisional approval. When the criteria have not been published in the PCC Instructor Qualifications for that subject area, approval by the Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs is required.
Course Content, Alignment and Pedagogy for Dual Credit Articulated Courses:
- The Division Dean identifies a PCC faculty to work with the high school Dual Credit faculty to ensure that the high school course aligns appropriately with the college course (content, outcomes, assessment, pedagogy). High school and PCC faculty meet to discuss consent, pedagogy and assessment review of the syllabus for the high school course.
- The PCC faculty recommends a course for articulation (signing the articulation agreement), and agrees to provide consultation as needed to the high school Dual Credit faculty member throughout the first year of the articulation.
- Compensation is available from the Dual Credit office for the initial alignment and two mid-year consultations. The standard is 10 hours at the Special Projects Rate. Complete a bi-weekly time and mileage sheet and submit to the Dual Credit office for processing at RC 3 226.
- The PCC faculty, Division Dean, and Dean of Instruction sign the articulation agreement to indicate recommendation to the Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs for approval.
Assessment of Articulated Courses:
- Course Assessment is required at the end of the first year of articulation in order for the agreement to be renewed for a 3-year term. At least one assessment must be done prior to each 3-year renewal.
- Course assessment may be conducted more frequently if the Division Dean deems this appropriate (e.g., concerns about instruction, changing requirements etc.)
- The Division Dean will identify a PCC faculty member to conduct the course assessment.
- Assessment of Dual Credit courses may be done by Department Chairs or FT faculty or PT faculty.
- PCC faculty will be reimbursed for no more than three hours at the faculty Special Projects Rate for each course assessed; faculty will be paid for their mileage to assessment sites, but will not be paid for the travel time to the assessment site.
- Complete a bi-weekly time and mileage sheet and submit to the Dual Credit office for processing at RC 3 226.
- Course Assessments should include:
- Site visit with classroom observation
- Syllabus and materials review (there is a Dual Credit Course Assessment Form for this)
- Review of graded student work (not done as part of normal PCC course evaluations but important for Dual Credit to establish that college expectations are met by students who successfully complete the course).
- Student evaluations:
- Evaluations piloted in some PCC Dual Credit classes in 2015-16
- If the approval/evaluation of a course for on-campus delivery must be carried out by an "appropriate content expert", then it is acceptable for this to be a standard applied to Dual Credit courses. However, if this is not required for approval/assessment in on-campus courses, it should not be applied to Dual Credit.
- PCC is under no obligation to continue articulation beyond the contract (1-Year Initial, 3-Year Renewal) if the instruction is not meeting expectations.
Clarification of Subject Area Committee (SAC) Role in Dual Credit
- The SAC creates and recommends curriculum, which is approved by administration.
- Once curriculum has been approved, it belongs to the college, and the college assumes responsibly for ensuring that the accreditation standard of "wherever offered and however delivered" is met.
- Course outcomes, assessment, content, etc. are defined in the CCOGs, and are expected to be implemented by qualified FT or PT faculty according to these parameters.
- If an entity (e.g., contracting college, or secondary school) is unable to meet the standards outlined in the CCOG, the course should not be offered.
SAC Role:
- SACs may not prohibit application of Demonstrated Competency or Provisional Approval within a program or discipline.
- If the SAC wished to identify courses that are not to be offered as Dual Credit, even when the high school faculty meets the qualifications and content/outcome/pedagogy aligned can be assured, they will need to explain their position. A high school wishing to offer the course should have an opportunity to address the concerns. The Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs is the ultimate decision-maker in such cases. Examples might include:
- The high school is unable to provide an appropriate learning environment for the course. For example, a course requires significant experience with equipment, materials or technology that the high school cannot provide.
- Topics that are a key part of the course could not be adequately addressed in a high school setting.
- SACs or representative faculty cannot deny articulation based on enrollment concerns.
- SACs or representative faculty cannot deny articulation based on assumptions that the students will be under-prepared for subsequent course work. Data with regards to this concern will be evaluated.
Approved by:
- Elizabeth Lundy, Vice President of Academic Affairs
- Jim Perez, Vice President of Student Affiairs
- Karen Paez, Dean of Instruction, Sylvania Campus
- Craig Kolins, Dean of Instruction, Southeast Campus
- Cheryl Scott, Dean of Instruction, Rock Creek Campus
- Kurt Simonds, Dean of Instruction, Cascade Campus
- Kendra Cawley, Dean of Academic Affairs
August 2016

Excerpt from Death of a Serpent October 1866 In her mind Serafina visits the orphanage as a child with her mother, seeing Betta and Tigro, two of the orphans standing together. Inseparable, her mother tells her. Tigro is dressed in hand-me downs like the others, but somehow different, straight and proud, muscular for a boy; hands at his side, and still, so still, except for his thumb and forefinger, rubbing them together slowly, deliberately, back and forth.

How to get cheap tickets to New York shows
A list of websites and resources that sell discounted tickets to NYC stage productions.
TKTS is a Theater Development Fund (TDF) program through which many Broadway and Off Broadway shows offer same-day tickets at a discount. TKTS booths are located in Times Square, at South Street Seaport (199 Water St; enter at the corner of Front and John Sts) and in downtown Brooklyn (1 Metrotech Center at the corner of Jay and Myrtle Sts). At the last two locations, lines are shorter and all matinee tickets are sold on the day prior to the performance. Call 212-912-9770, ext 201, or visit tdf.org.
Broadwaybox.com lists discount codes for up for 50 percent off myriad Broadway and Off Broadway shows. Visit the website for a list of offers.
Rush seats
Many Broadway and Off Broadway theaters make last-minute tickets available for as little as $20 on the day of the performance. Visit theater box offices to ask about their rush ticket policies.
Join the Playbill Club for daily deal e-mails and access to the site's list of discount offers. Membership is free.
The popular theater website lists show discounts online. The site also offers a paid service called the Gold Club, which comes with additional perks.
As the name implies, the site not only sells tickets, it donates 5 percent of every purchase to participating charities. Although discounts are available, Givenik also offers regular, premium, and group tickets to Broadway and Off-Broadway shows. Whatever price you pay, this is a great way to share the wealth.
Travelzoo.com lists discount codes for a number of Broadway and Off Broadway shows. Visit the website for event listings.
An offshoot of BroadwayBox.com, LunchTix.com offers its members discounts that expire by 3pm for future performances. Sign up for free at the website.
High 5
Junior-high and high-school students are eligible for $5 tickets to dance, music and spoken-word events, and to Off Broadway and Off-Off Broadway theater. Purchase online at high5tix.org, or call 212-750-0555; a teen with a school ID must be present to pick up the tickets at the box office, but each eligible student can purchase an additional $5 ticket for an adult or a younger child. Check the website for event listings.
School Theater Ticket Program
Grade-schoolers, college students and school personnel, plus their families, can save 30 to 50 percent on tickets to many Broadway and Off Broadway shows, as well as to dance, opera and music concerts. Either pick up the coupons at your child's school or the local library, or grab discount coupons online at schooltix.com to use when purchasing tickets at the box office.
TDF membership
The Theatre Development Fund offers an online discount-ticket program for eligible individuals. For an annual membership fee of $30, students (high school and college), teachers, union members and retirees can purchase discounted tickets to Broadway, Off and Off-Off Broadway theater and dance for $11-$39. Visit tdf.org for additional information.
Personally I have found a few of the discount services like NewYork60.com - http://bit.ly/2bPK3cj helpful - one reason is that you can get refunds and seat changes if your plans change which you cannot do with other services. That's important especially when coordinating with other people.

TOWNLEY CAPS OFF ROOKIE SEASON WITH A TOP-25 FINISH AT HOMESTEAD Homestead, FL (11-21-09) -- John Wes Townley and the No. 09 Zaxby's Racing team capped off the 2009 NASCAR Nationwide Series season with a 24th-place finish in Saturday's Ford 300...
Homestead, FL (11-21-09) -- John Wes Townley and the No. 09 Zaxby's Racing team capped off the 2009 NASCAR Nationwide Series season with a 24th-place finish in Saturday's Ford 300 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
This was Townley's career first start at HMS and the solid performance was the 19-year-old rookie's third consecutive top-25 finish.
Townley was the 48th of 52 drivers to make a qualifying attempt Saturday morning. The Zaxby's Ford lapped the 1.5-mile south Florida track in 32.798 seconds (164.644 mph), posting the 25th best time of the session and locking the Raybestos Rookie into the field.
Rolling off the starting grid on the inside of row 13, Townley raced competitively inside the top-25 for the opening 80 laps. When the fourth caution flag was waved for debris on lap 81, Townley brought his No. 09 machine down pit road for four Goodyear tires, Sunoco fuel and a chassis adjustment. Townley would exit the pits in the 24th position but would be summoned back down pit road one lap later for a missing lug nut on the left rear tire. When racing resumed on lap 84 Townley was scored in the 33rd position.
Catching up was the name of the game over the next 75 laps. Running 29th, a long green-flag run would came into play for the Zaxby's Racing crew as they held off bringing the No. 09 machine down pit road with the leaders on lap 145 for green-flag pit stops. When the field cycled through, Townley was sitting in the 25th position, one of the only cars on the track that had not come down pit road for fuel.
However, with laps winding down and fuel running low Townley was about to bring his yellow and blue machine down pit road for the evening's final stop when the sixth caution flag was displayed for an incident in turn-4. This welcoming opportunity for relief allowed the Zaxby's team to gain back one of their two laps they had lost early on in the event.
Following a phenomenal stop for four tires and fuel the No. 09 pit crew would gain Townley one position on the race track. When racing resumed on lap 162 the Zaxby's Ford would be scored in the 24th position only one lap down.
Over the next 38 circuits Townley would battle other cars on his lap for a coveted top-25 position. It wasn't until the closing five laps that Townley leaped up one more spot to bring home a 24th-place finish in the 35th and final race of the 2009 NASCAR Nationwide Series season. Kyle Busch would go on to win the Ford 300 and the championship.
This was the final race for John Wes Townley behind the wheel of the No. 09 Zaxby's Ford Fusion for RAB Racing. In his first full-time season in the NASCAR Nationwide Series, Townley amassed six top-20 and 12 top-25 finishes and on the strength of the 19-year-old rookie's efforts he finished 23rd in the overall driver point standings and seventh in the Raybestos Rookie of the year battle. Townley will move to Richard Childress Racing for the 2010 NASCAR Nationwide Series season.

Bible and Homosexuality: I Corinthians 6:9
In I Corinthians 6:9 Paul lists a many activities that will prevent people from inheriting the Kingdom of God. One has been variously translated as effeminate, homosexuals, or sexual perverts. The original Greek text reads malakoi arsenokoitai. The first word means soft; the meaning of the second word has been lost. It was once used to refer to a male temple prostitute (as in the verses from the Hebrew Scriptures/Old Testament described above). The early Church interpreted the phrase as referring to people of soft morals; i.e. unethical. From the time of Martin Luther, it was interpreted as referring to masturbation. More recently, it has been translated as referring to homosexuals . Each translator seem to take whatever activity that their society particularly disapproves of and use it in this verse.
Source: OCRT: Bible and Homosexuality
It is amazing the number of times that you will see the word "sodomite" or "homosexual" or "pervert" in different translations concerning this text. It is amazing because no one knows exactly what the words of the original text mean! The layperson, unfortunately, has no way of knowing that interpreters are guessing as to the exact meaning of these words. Pastors and laypersons often have to rely upon the authority of those who have written lexicons (dictionaries explaining the meaning of words) of Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic words. The authors of scriptural lexicons search for the meaning of the word within the scriptures themselves and also go outside of scripture and research literature written around the same time the scriptures were written. If the interpreter is already prejudiced against homosexuality they can translate these words as condemning homosexual sex even based upon little usage of that word in the Scriptures and little if any contemporaneous u sage of that word.
The truth is that the word some translators "transform" into "sodomite/homosexual/pervert" in I Corinthians 6:9-10 is actually TWO words. Some translators combine them because they "think" they go together but they DO NOT KNOW. This uncertainty is reflected in the fact that other translators keep the words separate and translate them "effeminate" and "abusers of themselves with mankind".
The two words in the original Greek are "malakoi" and "arsenokoitai". Malakoi is a very common Greek word. It literally means "soft". It is used in Matthew 11:7-18 and Luke 7:24-25 in reference to soft clothing. Scholars have to look at material outside of the Bible in order to try and figure out just what this means. The early church Fathers used the word to mean someone who was "weak" or "soft" in their morals and from the time of the reformation to the 20th century it was usually interpreted as masturbation. In Greek this word never is applied to gay people or homosexual acts in general. "No new textual data effected the twentieth-century change in translation of this word: only a shift in popular morality. Since few people any longer regard masturbation as the sort of activity which would preclude entrance to heaven, the condemnation has simply been transferred to a group still so widely despised that their exclusion does not trouble translators or theologians." (See Christianity, Social Tolerance, and Homosexuality, John Boswell, University of Chicago Press, 1980, page 105-107) "Arsenokoitai" is discussed in the next section as it is found here and in I Timothy 1:8-11.
Note: Greek contained no word which compares to the English noun "homosexual" meaning someone of homosexual orientation. In fact the word "homosexual" (meaning someone of homosexual orientation) was not even coined until the late 1800'S by German psychologists, and introduced into English only at the beginning of the 1900's. (See Christianity, Social Tolerance, and homosexuality, John Boswell, University of Chicago Press, 1980, page 42) However, during scriptural times there were a number of Greek words to describe homosexual sex acts and the two words "malakois" and "arsenokoitai" do not appear among them (on "arsenokoitai" see Boswell, pp 345-346.)

I haven't even gotten around to drawing last week's Illustration Friday theme, "germs" (I really wanted to do that one but I probably won't) but I've got something old-ish for this week's theme, "flying."
Probably a better title would be falling but…I drew this image after reading Rogue Planet (a Star Wars book) by Greg Bear. Anakin is about 12 or so, getting sort of bored with the Jedi life, and seeking adventure. In one of the opening scenes he finds out about an underground race that takes place I think in the sewers of Coruscant, using these sort of winged jet-pack things. It sounded like super-enhanced hanggliding. It really just needed to be drawn.
I went for a sort of Icarus feel for the composition, and I was happy with the result, particularly the perspective. Unfortunately I rushed the background and kind of ruined it. It does have a nice raw feeling, and there is a sense of motion, but it's just too messy to be very effective. Maybe some day I'll cut out the surviving sections and start over.
great drawing
.-= neilornstein´s last blog ..white flight =-.
Oh, I don't know about the background being ruined at all–I really like it. What didn't you like about it? It's kindof murky and unfinished–a perfect contrast to the details of the figure–which I really really like. The perspective is fabulous, and I was thinking Icarus from the very beginning, and it was only after I started noticing details that I thought, hmmm–a futuristic interpretation. Wonderful drawing!
Great style !
cool style
beautiful techniques!
Wow, awesome depth! Really neat illustration!
.-= Stacie´s last blog ..Jump Creek and Jump Creek Falls =-.
Thanks all!
TMartin – I agree that keeping the background unfinished and sort of blurry isn't a bad idea, that it would add to the sense of energy- I'm just not thrilled with the way it turned out.

Wow. Great idea and great drawing all around
Thanks Frank!
I really like the perspective on this; and the use of sepia. Your limited use of color in your blog layout really enhances this aspect of this drawing. well done.
Thanks Ascender! Yes, I'm often happily surprised at how the b/w enhances my photos and partial color art. I'm not trained as a designer, but sometimes I blunder on to something good!

Port-Au-Prince (AFP) Feb 6, 2010
The cockfighting must go on, even after earthquakes, so the roosters have been bathed, their claws sharpened, and they wait in cages in the red-carpeted ring, the crowd anxious and gripping cash.
The referee has weighed them and announced their names -- Doudou versus Zo La Plaine -- and now he wants a moment of silence for prayer. Everyone stands, heads bowed.
After a couple minutes, the referee speaks into the microphone sparking applause from the crowd gathered in this concrete mini-stadium in the Petionville suburb of Port-au-Prince: "Life continues," he says, and the roosters are freed.
Some may ask why people would turn to cockfighting so soon after Haiti's massive earthquake killed more than 200,000 people and left hundreds of thousands homeless.
The answer, according to cockfighting fans and gamblers at this ring on Saturday afternoon, is simple: It's what they have always done throughout this country, and now, amid the destruction, it provides a welcome distraction.
"This is part of Haitian culture," said Laine Mackinson, 26.
So they have gathered here at the red and yellow ring, the words "Arene des Coqs de PV" (Rooster Arena of Petionville) inscribed above the front door, a handful of people living in tents in the parking lot.
It is an impressive place as cockfighting rings go, and several of those in attendance call it the country's finest. There are some 500 seats that extend upward, the place arranged like a bull-fighting ring in miniature.
The seats are numbered, and though it is only one-third full, it is important to sit in your assigned place. People check.
Mackinson says this venue is up to "international standards."
There are only men here, dressed casually in jeans or shorts, some of the older ones wearing slacks and button-up shirts that are, from all appearances, freshly ironed.
The sharpening is done in the back of the arena, one person holding the rooster with a hood over its head to keep it calm while the other works away at the claws. Others teams do the same.
Some birds are stunningly colorful, their feathers bright green and red. Others are more dull and seem battle-worn. There is frequent crowing.
Jean Robert Delisca, 45, stands nearby and explains that a couple of his cousins were killed in the quake and many in his neighborhood are homeless. His house is still standing.
"Life is difficult," he says, "but you have to get moving."
Louis Oja's granddaughter was killed on January 12, but he says as he mills among the sharpeners that people must find a way to distract themselves from the disaster.
"Cockfighting is well known here in Haiti," he says. "Everybody knows cockfighting."
According to Mackinson, some of the best roosters are produced by breeding those from Cuba and the Dominican Republic. The Dominicans are known for their speed, he says, while the Cubans have a reputation for power.
He says it's like combining European and American football players, producing a team "like Barcelona."
The referee says the first match will begin soon, and everyone takes their places. The prayer occurs, "life continues" is heard, the applause follows. The fight starts.
Bets are yelled and bills worth 500 gourds (13 dollars) exchange hands. Some say those with winning birds can collect tens of thousands of gourds per match.
Doudou soon gets the upper hand, and each time he jumps and whacks at his competitor with his claws, the crowd yells "hah!" in unison.
As the fight wears on, the excitement fades slightly, but the yelling continues. Zo La Plaine is now losing feathers and blood appears on his head.
After more than 20 minutes, he is ready to quit and tries to take cover at the edge of the ring like a broken fighter avoiding a knockout. Doudou chases him and hammers away, relentlessly biting and scratching him.
Zo La Plaine is now trying to jump out of the ring, but he cannot. The referee grabs the microphone and calls the fight, announcing that Doudou and all those who bet on him have won.

Haiti Earthquake: A Reminder That Disasters Are Preventable
Boulder CO (SPX) Feb 04, 2010
Amid all the commentary focused on the historic tragedy in Haiti, a tough but important fact has gone virtually unmentioned, according to a nationally recognized expert on disasters at the University of Colorado at Boulder. "What is missing from the tragedy of disaster, and our response to it, is the recognition that disasters are preventable, that it is within the power of societies and c ... read more

Fab Flash: Minimum Model Diversity at NY Fashion Week
In the recent past, much focus has been placed on model-related weight issues, but last week at New York Fashion Week, another issue came to light that needs to be addressed: the lack of diversity on the runway.
The dominance of white models on the catwalk is nothing new, and yet it's an issue that has been pushed to the side. As fashion photographer and "America's Next Top Model" judge Nigel Barker told WWD, "Everyone is always talking about the weight issue, I think they should be talking about race."
Another fashion week spectator said, "I see an Asian girl here and there, but it seems like it has always been that way. It seems like they can't have more than one or two, and it's the same with African-American models."
When I was attending shows, I noticed the same thing, with the exception of a few designers, Tracy Reese being one of them. Have you noticed this as well? How do you feel about it?

Grapes on pizza. Have you tried it yet?
I love fruit on pizza – pineapple, even mango – but I have to admit I wasn't sure about grapes. Aside from picking a bunch off the vine, warm from the summer sun, I'd never had hot grapes before.
Although, after seeing it on several food blogs, I figured there had to be something I was missing. And there was. I'm sold! I love the burst of sweet, juicy flavor from the grapes.
For this pizza, I used pesto as the sauce and cooked up some pastured pork bacon for a little extra smoky, salty flavor. Red onions worked great, both in flavor and color. I can see all kinds of cheeses working for this, but I used a basic whole milk mozzarella.
Pesto Pizza with Red Grapes and Bacon
Dough for a 14 inch pizza
1/4 cup basil pesto
1/2 red onion, sliced into rings
3 slices bacon, cooked crisp and chopped
1 cup red grapes, halved
1/2 cup whole milk mozzarella cheese, sliced or shredded
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Roll the pizza dough out to 14 inches and place on a pizza pan. Spread the dough with pesto.
Top the dough with the onion, bacon and grapes. Top the pizza evenly with the cheese.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and browned. Serves 3-4.
Okay, I want to know – what's the most unique pizza topping you've had before? For me, it would be canned tuna. It was a pizza topping when we dined on rodizio pizza (kind of like a buffet brought to you) in Brazil.

By Joseph A. Califano Jr.; Joseph A. Califano Jr., the senior partner in the Washington law office of Dewey, Ballantine, Bushby, Palmer & Wood, was Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare from 1977 to 1979 and President Lyndon B. Johnson's assistant for domestic affairs from 1965 to 1969. His most recent book is ''America's Health Care Revolution.''
Published: March 20, 1988
JUST AS HISTORY teaches that war is too important to be left to generals, so recent American experience teaches that medicine is too important to be left to doctors and politicians.
Health is devouring an ever-increasing share of our national wealth: Americans will spend more than $550 billion on health care this year; that's nearing 12 percent of our gross national product. For years, Medicare has been the fastest growing part of our Federal budget. And it's becoming increasingly clear that a large portion of the money spent on health care is wasted.
Congress over the years has contributed at least as much to the problem as to the solution. Take the catastrophic-care bills now before a House and Senate conference committee. Surely Americans should be protected from the financial ruin that catastrophic illness can bring - but efficiently. These bills offer few incentives to physicians and patients to choose less expensive alternatives to hospital care, and even fewer measures to control other costs. As drafted, the legislation represents a reckless insistence that the last quarter century has nothing to teach: it is likely to spark a surge of spending on high-ticket, high-tech medicine, setting us back years in our cost-containment efforts. It will surely cost far more than Congress estimates, maybe twice as much.
To understand why Congress is likely to pass legislation that will once again open the taxpayers' checkbooks to the doctors and hospitals, lining the pockets of health-care providers under cover of caring for patients, one has to look a little more closely at the politics of health care.
For example, both the House and Senate bills provide a new prescription-drug benefit - which is fine, indeed vital. But though the Government would pick up the tab for the patient's pharmaceuticals, it would also pay a fee to the pharmacy or to the mail-order supplier of $4.50 a prescription - even though it is estimated that a mail-order supplier charges its corporate health-plan clients only 50 cents to fill a prescription and process a claim.
The most energetic lobby behind the new drug benefit is the American Association of Retired Persons, which runs the country's second-largest mail-order drug-dispensing business (1986 revenues: $200 million). That $4.50 dispensing fee represents a substantial windfall for the politically powerful A.A.R.P.
Domination of the political process by health-care providers is not new. In 1964, when President Lyndon B. Johnson proposed the Medicare and Medicaid programs, Congress demanded as the price of passage that the programs stipulate ''cost-plus'' reimbursement for hospitals and the prevailing ''fee-for-service'' payments for doctors.
In 1968, Johnson urged that these systems be reformed, arguing that they offered doctors no incentive to provide care efficiently. Johnson's warning that without a change in reimbursement costs would reach $100 billion by 1975 was ridiculed on Capitol Hill. In fact, that year costs exceeded $130 billion.
Every President since has sought to limit increases in health-care costs. Congress after Congress has rebuffed them. (Congress has repeatedly increased payments to hospitals beyond the Reagan Administration's recommendations - adding at least $500 million a year to the budget -even though American hospitals have some 400,000 empty beds, a huge excess capacity they refuse to reduce.) During the two years leading up to the 1986 elections, those in the health-care industry channeled more than $8.5 million through various political action committees to members of Congress. Next to financial services, this is more than any other industry - more than the handgun and tobacco lobbies, the oil companies and the 100 largest defense contractors. And that $8.5 million does not include direct contributions made by doctors and hospital administrators. For the contributors, those political gifts are a small price to pay to keep a piece of one of America's three largest industries.
Dramatic, convulsive change marks the business of American health care. Miracle drugs are eliminating childhood diseases, tempering depression, taming epilepsy, and so revolutionizing the treatment of coronary disease that heart surgeons may soon find their specialty as obsolete as picking cotton by hand. And just over the horizon lies a barely explored world of biotechnology beyond the imagination of Steven Spielberg.
Yet the more turmoil and change there is, the more one thing remains the same: health-care costs keep skyrocketing. During 1986 and 1987 the price of American health care shot up at more than twice the rate of inflation. The rise in physicians' fees and services was so steep last year that Medicare had to increase the premiums people pay for physician care by nearly 40 percent. Health-insurance premiums are up an average of almost 20 percent this year, with some increases a dizzying 70 percent.
The evidence is growing that at least a quarter of this money - more than $125 billion - will be wasted; $25 billion of that comes from the taxpayer. At a time when Congress is agonizing over budget cuts of less than that amount, when 37 million Americans are going without even basic health insurance, and when American companies are struggling to cut costs to meet foreign competition, such waste is unconscionable.


text: Posted March 23, 2012 Slow day on the forum so why not - If he gets suspended for half the season which I expect him to be, I think hes gone.I wonder how many players theyre going to lose over this.? The Saints have shown interest in Curtis Lofton, a league source said Thursday, adding to a growing list of linebackers the team has scheduled interviews with. Multiple outlets also are reporting that David Hawthorne and Joe Mays. Lofton, 25, is scheduled to visit with New Orleans this coming weekend. In four years with Atlanta as the team's middle linebacker, Lofton compiled 492 tackles, four sacks, 15 passes defensed and three interceptions. The move could mean the Saints are beginning to look at moving on from Jonathan Vilma. At 29, Vilma is older and has had more wear and tear on his body. He spent five weeks this season sidelined with a knee injury that eventually required surgery. But just as important as Vilma's health is that he has a large salary cap figure, upwards of $7.6 million this year and $8.1 million next year. http://www.wwltv.com...-142845755.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lunaire is a wall lamp with a surprising light effect, reminiscent of the phenomenon produced by eclipses. A smaller front disc containing the light source is set inside a large concave aluminium diffuser. Different effects and moods are possible depending on how the small disc is positioned with respect to the diffuser. It offers either an intense direct light, or an indirect and soft one that spreads on the wall.
Thanks to the large diameter of the diffuser, Lunaire is the perfect lighting solution for big areas, be they residential or contract.

Wasted War Spending – $900 More of it This Week!
This week, the House and Senate may vote on the final version of legislation to spend more money in Iraq and Afghanistan. H.R. 2346 is called the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2009. It will spend a little over $900 per U.S. family.
Now here's a timely coincidence. The Commission on Wartime Contracting is slated to come out with a report this week discussing the extent of waste in this government contracting. The AP reports:
The Defense Department has failed to provide adequate oversight over tens of billions of dollars in contracts to support military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, says a new report by an independent commission investigating waste and fraud in wartime spending. U.S. reliance on private sector employees has grown to "unprecedented proportions," yet the government has no central database of who all these contractors are, what they do or how much they're paid, the bipartisan commission found.
The Commission was created in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 to study federal agency contracting for reconstruction, logistical support, and security functions in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Want to tell your Member of Congress what you think of the supplemental spending bill, H.R. 2346, spending generally, or controls on waste, fraud, and abuse? You can dial 202-224-3121 to get the Capitol switchboard. Be nice.
We'll report House and Senate votes on the spending bill here here on the WashingtonWatch.com blog as they come in.
And here's your current vote on the Supplemental Appropriations Act. Click to vote, comment, learn more, or edit the wiki article about the bill.

Dead Day And Torched Night - Poem by Zara Jamshed
Night choked on the sun
Now dim and dwindling, the light faded
The street lights guided his way, but he wasn't lost
If Night held his breath
The silence could hear his voice
It ate and drank his words
Now lost on a blank and endless page
But still existing if spoke by silence
Now Night travelled on, in search of day
Blinding flashes now killing all the desert life
And Night swallowed every watt of light
Day came from the horizon
Where the sky and earth would never meet
Her long white hair swayed and played
And pitch black eyes that sent shivers down Night's spine
She was polished and clean, bright and commanding
While filth had consumed him, blending with the background
Her warm hand caressed his own cold and pale one
Night shivered and pulled away
Day burst ablaze with fury
Night couldn't shield the fire
The space time continuum gave up and fled
A gap between light and dark swept the nation
Blank grey misty sky remained
Ashes smoldered and relit
Decades passed and the burning was not yet extinguished
Smoke had choked them
All that was seen was dead day and torched night.

yohanwrote a review of Salomon Extend Mid XCR Day Hiking Shoe - Men's on April 2, 2007
almost perfect?hard soles and hurting toes
This is my second Salomon pair and my first Gore Tex. I only have one complaint, the soles are a little hard. The fit is good except for my toes. They hurt when I was hiking downhill. Everything else is perfect. I purposely stepped in a puddle of mud to test the Gore-Tex materials. It worked like magic. My feet were dry throughout the 7 hour hike with several wet terrain. I know this technology has been proven by many people but to actually experience it yourself is exhilarating. Several people were actually looking at me in disbelief when i did that test.

|Macatawa Bay Boat Works Premium Restoration
|Completed Project - updated January 13, 2010
|1957 Century Coronado gets a new MBBW no-soak 3M-5200 bottom
this boat is being restored for our customer and is NOT for sale.
This very nicely preserved, low hour Coronado came to us for a new no-soak 3M-5200 bottom. Pictured below, the boat is in the disassembly stage. We removed the original, dual quad (twin four barrel carbureted) 1957 Cadillac Crusader Marine Engine.
|Rolling the boat over
|Starting to remove the bottom
|The first item we are going to repair is the stringers. This will require removing the keel, chines and the aft bottom frames and frame ties.
|There is not much left of the aft end of both stringers, they succumbed to rot and a previous repair that was poorly done.
|Below we see the new aft stringers being dry fit. They are made of solid and clear Douglas fir, better quality than what came out of the factory back in 1957.
|Most all frame ties were replaced, many new frames, new keel and chines, the aft 8 feet of stringers replaced and sistered with 3/4" marine plywood, new batons installed, new stem, the structure is now ready to have a new skin put on.
|Fitting the Lloyd registered, British Standard #1088 marine plywood inner bottom
|The customer decided not to reuse the old bottom planking but have us install all new bottom wood.
|Here we are filling the screw holes with waterproof putty.
|With the bottom installed, faired in and screw holes filled, it is time to seal the wood prior to paint. It looks so good, it is hard to cover it up with paint!
|The boat recieved fresh deck and hullside varnish and paint, new deck stripes and general reassembly including restored underwater running gear and engine alignment.
|A successful water test, no leaks and good handling, the best performing Coronado we have driven-- Looks great too!

We're planning to use a variety of online tools to supplement the face-to-face meetings to gather information and engage Northfield area citizens around the components of the Transformational Technology plan. In the works:
- a straw poll
- a blog discussion thread
- a webinar
- a real-time chat
Everything we plan to do, whether face-to-face or online, will be blogged here. And then we'll blog about it after it's over. The idea is to have ONE place where everything is 'housed' to make it as easy as possible for the citizenry to learn about the issue, participate, and refer back to what happened anytime.
While I prepare to make things more concrete, feel free to comment and ask questions by using the comment box below.

you've come to the right place fishing.
you've come to the right place fishing.
cool i like it $5
Looks really nice on a shirt.
love the concept, but i'm a little confused
is the mug pouring into the martini glass? because i thought they were connected at first but then i saw the drips...
also, i feel the heart speech bubble is completely unnecessary, it kind of detracts from the rest of the design.
Different idea, quite like it. Loose the heart bubble.
Yep, I agree with everyone above; you should definitely lose the heart bubble.
awesome~ $5
this I really like, 5
great graphic, nice one
Nice, I wish that these colours were doable but we dont, sadly, live in a world of negative. I like it as is 5$
it's really a good idea..but a bit plain. u've done a good job..but i believe u still can do it better..keep it up
Love the design. Tastey.5
Wah!Can't believe it!This kind of concept is can be done and design!
ITs a good job dude!
Cool!I will buy if its price is reasonable!!kekeke
Good design ... the only thing that I keep thinking though, is that is the wrong kinda fly for that type of fish.
Really nice graphic.
love it
So pretty, very Threadless. I wish it could be in pink on black, but if it can't, please print it on pink in black. $5 with or without the heart bubble, but I'd prefer it with. One thing, I think the glass is a little small, it should be just a little bigger, and the fish should also have a little more space, it looks a bit cramped right now, and that detracts from the great use of the black.

About The Law Office Of Edward J. Thomas
In 2015, in its annual ranking of the "Best Law Firms" in the United States, U.S. News & World Report again named the Law Office of Edward J. Thomas as one of California's few "first tier" law firms, as the only "first tier" law firm in Bakersfield in any area of practice, and as the only "first tier" family law firm in Central California. For client satisfaction, the American Institute of Family Law Attorneys again named the firm one of the top 10 family law firms in California.

Multimedia for software interfaces are often done as collaboration between creative professionals and software engineers. Industry In the Industrial sector, multimedia is used as a way to help present information to shareholders, superiors and coworkers. Multimedia is also helpful for providing employee training, advertising and selling products all over the world via virtually unlimited web-based technologies. Shop around online for some earthly influence and see what church multimedia software can do for your house of worship! With most of the music industry already emigrating to the Internet, the younger generation are no strangers to downloading their favourite tracks. Many new bands are making use of YouTube, the blogosphere and other web-based marketing to promote themselves. Most famously, it won the Grand Prix for at the Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival. Many design magazines and organizations have begun officially to include interactive media in their competitions. None the less, getting interactive accepted by marketers as a comparable to traditional medias is an uphill battle. The entertainment download kiosks are networked so that one main machine stores all of the downloadable material.
Furthermore the kiosks have bespoke fascias, so they can bear any logo or branding that your company already has. Additionally the kiosks can be multi-faced with up to four screens, which is ideal for a busy location where you would expect numerous users wanting to access the kiosks. Music download kiosks can also be used for downloaded ring tones, desktop images and styles for mobile devices and phones. Customers could also create their own mixes using a selection of dance music which gets mixed using their preferences. Multimedia is media that uses multiple forms of information content and information processing like text, audio, graphics, animation, video, interactivity) to inform or entertain the audience. Regardless of who wins future awards, there is one thing is one point advertisers and marketers can be sure of: multimedia is becoming increasingly popular, and should be though of as part of any future advertising campaign. Lighting, camera systems, sound systems, and projection systems are just some of the church multimedia used to enhance everything from sermons to choir performances to weddings at the church.
As your company grows and therefore you graphics needs, you will find it makes more sense to associate your firm with a vendor who is experienced in all aspects of graphics designing. For example, some magazine advertisements, when photographed with a cell phone, can automatically launch associated online content.. Designed as a web-only multimedia advertisement, the campaign for real beauty ending up being picked up across Medias, winning acclaim everywhere it went. They frequently hold church multimedia software seminars for representatives of churches that are considering their services at locations in Texas, Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Indiana, Missouri, and New York. You may already have the right stuff to bring members of the community to your church, but even the places with the best benefits of membership could enhance the experience for its members with dynamic and unforgettable church multimedia presentations.
Hypermedia can be considered one particular multimedia application. Multimedia finds its application in various areas including, but not limited to, advertisements, art, education, entertainment, engineering, medicine, mathematics, business, scientific research and spatial temporal applications. Mathematical and Scientific Research In Mathematical and Scientific Research, multimedia is mainly used for modelling and simulation. For example, a scientist can look at a molecular model of a particular substance and manipulate it to arrive at a new substance. Representative research can be found in journals such as the Journal of Multimedia. Website Outsourcing is your one stop shop for all kinds of graphic designing services. With many years of experience designing high quality professional graphics and advertising material, we are well suited to be your long-term graphics partner.

Medicine In Medicine, doctors can get trained by looking at a virtual surgery or they can simulate how the human body is affected by diseases spread by viruses and bacteria and then develop techniques to prevent it.

Good Question! People should be aware of te downsides along with the positives.
As others have said, it does take the fun out of browsing the hair care aisle at most stores. So many things become off limits. But, as better silicones are developed, I think that fewer people need to go totally cone free than, say, twenty years ago. Some can handle the water soluble cones, or cones that come out with a CO wash or a Low-Poo type of cleanser.
I never noticed a protein sensitivity until after I had been cg for a little while. It got worse as I went on. I have wondered that if I went back to some sort of mild sulfate, could I handle more protein and have fewer limits on what kind of conditioners I can use.
The militancy of some cg-ers. Just because it works for some doesn't mean that everyone has to follow it the same way that a lecturing militant wants you to follow it. Everyone has to find out what works best for her.
With my hair texture, I've not had to worry about the overconditioning thing that others wrote, but it does seem to be a fairly common side effect.

text: Since Mother's Day is coming up I thought I'd make a mother appreciation thread. Share a story,moment/memory you have of your mother or someone you respected as a mother figure in your life. I have been blessed with many mother figures in my life. First and foremost my mami who gave me life but then there is her mother who I also call Mom. She has been such an inspiration to me. As a young girl she suffered many different types of abuse. My grandmother constantly sought her very own mother's love who treated her like a servant girl/property. Even though all these terrible things happened to her she never became bitter about it and in fact showed even more love to those around her. Especially her children and now her grandchildren. I have always respected and admired my grandmother's style, her great spirit, and many other talents and virtues. My grandmother is fun, dramatic, but overall a very loving person and for all of that I appreciate her.

Bullish Arguments:
1. The Dow has broken it's long-term trend line which has very bullish implications for the longer-term.
2. The Dow's ADX indicator indicates the Dow is in a decently strong up trend. However, this, too, should be applied more towards the longer-term.
3. The Dow's 50- and 100-week moving averages have undergone a Golden Cross. This is also a longer-term bullish indication.
Bearish Arguments:
1. The Dow's RSI indicator is near historical resistance and is losing slope (strength).
2. The Dow is nearing its 200-week moving average, a level we were not able to break above last time we tested it. Additionally, it is approaching this level on lower volume, which is never what you want to see when you're rooting for a big break out above resistance.
3. The Full Stochastic indicator is overbought, near historical resistance, and losing slope (short-term bearish).
In sum, the bullish arguments are all geared towards the longer-term while some of the bearish arguments are geared towards the shorter-term, causing me to be bearish right now but bullish overall (i.e. we need to see a pullback before we continue to make new highs, in my opinion).
The only real skepticism I have from a technical standpoint for the longer-term is our decreasing volume. However, if we saw a pull back to 10,500-10,600 or so, which I think would be healthy, profit takers would all be able to buy back in at lower prices, but with more money, effectively giving us the increase in volume that I think we need to break above the 200-week moving average.

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
I will be happy to help you out. Can I get the model number to the microwave?
You more than likely have a defective magnetron. Ge has a five year warranty on this. If your microwave is less than five years old you can call them and they will fix it for free. If the microwave is more than five years old I would suggest buying a new one.
The magnetrons for some microwave are close to 180 dollars.
Let me know if this has been helpful to you. Thanks for using JustAnswer.com

City officers planning to ride in this year's Police Unity Tour are holding a fundraising event at the Porter House Bar and Grill on March 28.
The Unity Tour, a bicycle trek that will begin May 9 at the site of the World Trade Center terror attack and end May 12 in Washington, D.C., is designed to raise awareness of police officers who died in the line of duty.
Organized in 1997, the tour now has 1,200 members nationwide who participate in the ride. Money raised will be donated to support the National Law Enforcement Museum.
In White Plains, a team of eight officers plan to make the ride, including Joe Zepeda, the nephew of Detective Michael Perry, who died of a heart attack in 2010 after chasing and capturing a theft suspect.
At the fundraiser, $40 donations will include beer, wine, soda and appetizers. A 50/50 raffle is being held and other prizes will be awarded. The Porter House is at 169 Mamaroneck Ave.

Mt. Pleasant returns to win column in solid fashion
For the Connellsville baseball team, Thursday's exhibition game at Mt. Pleasant represented the first official taste of varsity action for a number of players. For the Vikings, the game represented a chance to regroup after a tough loss.
In the end, Mt. Pleasant's experience won out, as the Vikings came through in several critical situations to post a 6-3 win over the Falcons.
"The coaches and I challenged these guys to respond after the Brownsville game (a 5-2 Mt. Pleasant loss Monday)," Mt. Pleasant coach Tom Hudzema said. "To come back and beat a good Connellsville team was the best way we could do that."
Kevin Yanok and Marcus Malara each had two hits for the Vikings, and Zac Heide and Shane Hertzog drove in two runs each.
"Zac and Shane had a great day," Hudzema said. "But everybody contributed."
The Vikings (2-1) also got some strong pitching from starter Tyler Mellors, who started the game and pitched four scoreless innings to post the victory. He also racked up six strikeouts. Mitch Matlas and Hertzog pitched the final three innings for Mt. Pleasant.
"Tyler and Mitch and Shane all needed some work, and I thought they all did well," Hudzema said.
The Vikings got on the board in the first. Yanok singled and scored on an error. Then in the third, Heide and Malara each singled before Hertzog came through with a clutch two-run single off Connellsville starter Trevor Farrell, who took the loss. Rudy Hynek was hit by a pitch and also scored, as the Vikings built a 4-0 lead. In the fourth, Sean Bradley was hit by a pitch and scored to make it 5-0.
Connellsville kept battling. The Falcons (0-1) managed eight hits, including doubles by Cameron Bernhardt, Brandon Freed and Grant Wortman.
Connellsville got on the board in the fifth. Zach Swift singled and scored on a sacrifice fly by J.T. Stevenson.
Heide added an RBI sacrifice fly in the sixth for the Vikings before Stevenson pulled the Falcons to within three with a two-run single in the seventh. The Falcons managed to bring the tying run to the plate but couldn't complete the rally.
"We're young," Connellsville coach Joe Bonadio said. "We graduated nine starters, and for a lot of guys, this was their first varsity competition. We're coming along, and we didn't lie down. We had opportunities, and we didn't take advantage of them. Mt. Pleasant did take advantage of their opportunities, and they have a good hitting team. Our pitching wasn't bad, but we made some errors. We'll get it together."
