There have a few been recent hints at how the sweeping changes within the medical industry are reshaping the politics of being a doctor. But a new study suggests a profession once solidly aligned with Republicans has become more Democratic in the past 20 years, as the number of female doctors grows and the traditional small physician's office is on the wane.
Researchers analyzing doctors' federal campaign contributions between the 1991-92 and 2011-12 election cycles found that doctors — who once contributed to Republican campaigns at consistently higher rates than the entire donor population — have become less enthusiastic donors to the GOP.
In the last three election cycles, physician donations to Republicans have instead closely tracked to those made by the general population, according to JAMA Internal Medicine study authors Adam Bonica of Stanford University, Howard Rosenthal of New York University, and David J. Rothman of the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons.
That political shift may seem counter intuitive, though. The study authors note that doctors' contributions to Republicans increased in the 1993-94 and 2009-10 campaign cycles in response to Democratic health-care reform efforts — first, President Clinton's failed attempt and then the 2010 Affordable Care Act. Republicans also account for 16 of 20 current members of Congress who also hold medical degrees.
But there's growing polarization among doctors, the study authors found. Women contributed less to Republican candidates in the 2011-12 election cycle compared to 1991-92 (23.6 percent versus 30.9 percent), and physicians working in nonprofit organizations contributed less (25.6 percent versus 40 percent) in the same time period.
Doctors in higher-earning specialties were also more likely to donate to Republican candidates. Surgeons, who donated 32.7 percent more to Republican candidates than pediatricians did in 1992, donated 48.1 percent more than pediatricians in the 2012 election cycle.
The larger question is what these changing politics mean for the future of health-care policy. That's still uncertain, note the study authors, who write:
Now that the medical profession sits on both sides of the political aisle, will the Republican and Democratic parties devote unprecedented energy and shape policy to attract physician loyalty? Or will the increasing polarization of the profession increase the political participation of physicians even as it reduces the ability of physicians to reach consensus on health care policy?
On one hand, there was notable progress earlier this year on long-sought reform of Medicare's flawed policy for reimbursing doctors — though a bipartisan bill has been stalled as lawmakers can't agree on how to pay for the legislation. Meanwhile, Republican doctor-lawmakers have been some of Obamacare's loudest critics, and more doctors launched congressional bids this year.
One thing is certain: doctors in the past 20 years have become much more active participants of the political process. The percentage of active physicians who donated to federal campaigns increased from 2.6 percent in 1991-92 to 9.4 percent in 2011-12, researchers found.
Top health policy reads from around the Web:
The individual market grew under Obamacare. "The Kaiser Family Foundation estimates between 3 million and 3.5 million new people signed up for health insurance either through insurance companies or brokers in March. It estimates a total of 15 million people now have individual insurance through the private market. ... Kaiser's findings suggest that the number of people purchasing health insurance grew even accounting for people who saw their existing plans canceled because of new requirements under ObamaCare." Ferdous Al-Faruque in The Hill.
The large federal exchange was an accident. "The federal option was supposed to be a limited and temporary fallback. But a shift to a bigger, more permanent Washington-controlled system is instead underway — without preparation, funding or even public discussion about what a national exchange covering millions of Americans means for the future of U.S. health care. It's coming about because intransigent Republicans shunned state exchanges, and ambitious Democrats bungled them." Kyle Cheney and Jennifer Haberkorn in Politico.
States are giving narrow networks a close look. "Prompted by the health care overhaul law, several states are updating their rules for insurance networks to better reflect who is covered and how people shop for and use their benefits. Washington state just implemented new regulations, and discussions are underway in several others, including Arkansas, Minnesota, California and New Hampshire. Although complaints about one insurer's network prompted New Hampshire's decision to reconsider its rules, insurance officials say the old standards haven't kept up with changes in how and where people get health care." Holly Ramer in the Associated Press.

Twenty-something Hands
Three songs into last night's Ten Hands reunion at Club Dada, lead singer and pianist Paul Slavens (current host of 90.1 at Night on KERA-90.1 FM) launched into "East Coast Jones." How convenient. The song from 1992's Be My Guru begs for an eventual reunion, complaining about short-lived fads and shouting, "Tomorrow has the reek of yesterday." Thing is, with so many 20-somethings hopping and dancing to the funk-jazz-rock-huh of Ten Hands, you'd have no clue whether it was yesterday, tomorrow, 1991 or 2006. Where all of these young dancing women who knew every Ten Hands lyric came from, I'm not sure, but more power to 'em.
You couldn't do much better for a Sunday night club show, let alone a Sunday night club show with a long-gone band. Slavens and the rest of the final original lineup (as in, no Earl Harvin on drums, duh) were far from phoning the show in, giving the ample crowd all the enthusiasm their sweaty, tongue-wagging, cowbell-banging asses could muster. The smiles and giddiness were flat-out cheesy at times, though Slavens was at least aware of it: "This many years later, our lyrics are still as stupid," he said with one of his many huge laughs of the evening. -Sam Machkovech

Obama calls for deficit cuts
President Obama sought to take charge of the debate over cutting the size of government Wednesday by offering his own plan for $4 trillion in savings over 12 years and calling for immediate bipartisan negotiations.
At the same time, Obama used a 43-minute address at George Washington University to deliver a scathing attack on Republican proposals for unprecedented cuts in Medicare and Medicaid and a vigorous defense of his vision for an activist government.
I will preserve these health care programs as a promise we make to each other in this society, he said. I will not allow Medicare to become a voucher program that leaves seniors at the mercy of the insurance industry, with a shrinking benefit to pay for rising costs.
STORY: Medicare at center of budget debate
STORY: Comparing deficit plans
STORY: Health care law gets day in court
After waiting for Republicans to unveil their plan that would largely privatize Medicare and slash Medicaid spending, Obama proposed a deficit-reduction plan that would include about $1 trillion in new taxes on upper-income Americans.
Those differences Republicans attack on government health programs versus Obamas partial reliance on raising taxes are likely to define the debate into the summer. At the same time, a deeply divided Congress must find a way to raise the governments $14.3 trillion debt ceiling or risk an unprecedented default.
By jumping into the effort to reduce government borrowing, Obama risks alienating part of the liberal base that helped elect him in 2008. But without a credible plan, he would allow Republicans to claim they alone are tackling the countrys toughest fiscal issue.
Thats just what they did following his speech. House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, the author of the GOP plan who had been invited to sit in the front row for Obamas speech, called it excessively partisan, dramatically inaccurate and hopelessly inadequate.
What we heard today was a political broadside from our campaigner in chief, Ryan said. Rather than building bridges, hes poisoning wells.
Republicans didnt even wait for Obamas speech to denounce his call for new taxes on those earning more than $250,000 a year. They no doubt recalled then-president George H.W. Bushs capitulation on higher taxes in a 1990 deficit reduction agreement, which may have cost him re-election.
But Obama defended his proposal to restore higher taxes on wealthier Americans. I dont need another tax cut. Warren Buffett doesnt need another tax cut, he said. Not if we have to pay for it by making seniors pay more for Medicare.
Despite Obamas optimistic call for two months of talks and a deal by the end of June, what emerged by days end Wednesday were dueling lines in the sand: Obama refused to consider the GOPs plans for Medicare and Medicaid, and Republicans refused to consider new taxes.
That doesnt bode well for solving a problem that keeps getting worse, threatening Americas standing as the worlds strongest economy. As Obama noted in his speech, just the interest on the burgeoning debt is projected to reach $1 trillion annually by 2020. Five years later, he said, projected tax revenue will support only Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and those interest payments.
Rather than subject the nation to that fate, Obama conjured up images of historic agreements that required tough decisions Republicans and Democrats coming together to save Social Security in the 1980s and balance the budget in the 1990s.
While Obamas plan calls for $4 trillion in deficit reduction the same general amount sought by Republicans and his own fiscal commission it takes 12 years rather than 10 to reach the goal. Only $3 trillion would be new; the president included $1 trillion in deficit cuts in the budget he released in February.
His plan wont be the last on the table. A bipartisan group of senators known as the Gang of Six hopes to release its plan in late April or early May. While Obama and Republicans snipe at each other, the Senate plan could form the basis for negotiations.
Social Security gets a temporary pass from the president and the GOP. Both acknowledge its path toward insolvency as a result of fewer workers and the retirement of the Baby Boom generation, but neither suggests specific solutions.
Reaction to Obamas speech from budget and fiscal experts was positive. Former U.S. comptroller general David Walker, who attended the speech, said it exceeded his expectations.
Clearly, presidential leadership is essential, Walker said. But as for a deficit-reduction agreement by the end of June, which Obama called for, Walker said, Thats not realistic.

By Sharon Cohen, AP National Writer
CHICAGO It was a Wednesday night ritual for Barack Obama: After a day of debating taxes, the death penalty or some other divisive issue, he'd head to a meeting of "The Committee."
Lawmakers and lobbyists, Democrats and Republicans alike, would put their politics on hold and gather for ... their weekly poker game.
It was a chance for Obama, then an Illinois state lawmaker, to socialize over cards and cigars (or, in his case, cigarettes). It also was a way for this son of an African goat herder, this Harvard-educated lawyer, author and professor to show he could be just one of the guys.
That was nothing new for him.
He had already navigated the exotic corners of Hawaii and Indonesia, the halls of privilege of Cambridge, Mass., and the poverty-wracked streets of Chicago as a boy, a student and a young man.
Along the way, Barack Obama -- now a freshman U.S. senator and Democratic presidential candidate -- set out to do the things he says will work in the White House: bridging gaps, making connections, forging alliances.
"Barack knows what he has to do to fit in and he has the capability to do it," says state Sen. Terry Link, his longtime friend and occasional poker host in Springfield. "He tries to make it where he doesn't stand out."'
His half-sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, puts it another way.
"He walks between worlds," she says. "That's what he's done his entire life."
From the very beginning, Barack Obama has blended cultures.
His father, also named Barack Obama, was a black scholarship student who traveled from his small village in Kenya to attend the University of Hawaii. His mother, Stanley Ann Dunham (her father always wanted a son), was white and just 18 when they met in a Russian class.
Barack -- "blessed" in Arabic -- was born on Aug. 4, 1961. His parents' marriage was short-lived.
His father left his family to study at Harvard when his son was 2, returning just once. Obama wrote poignantly about that visit in his memoir -- remembering the basketball his father gave him, the African records they danced to, the Dave Brubeck concert they attended.
Obama, then 10, never saw his father again.
By then, Obama's mother had remarried, to Lolo Soetoro, another university student. They moved to his native Indonesia, plunging the 6-year-old Obama into a land of delicacies such as snake meat and grasshopper, a pet monkey, Tata, and the harsh realities of Third World poverty and disease.
After four years, Obama returned to Hawaii, first living with his mother, then with his maternal grandparents: Gramps and Toot or Tutu (Hawaiian for grandmother) -- all transplants from Kansas.
Today, Maya sees traces of all three in her half-brother.
From their mother, she says, "he gets his ability to build bridges, to keep an open mind ... his taste for adventure, his curiosity and his compassion."
From their grandmother, Madelyn: "his pragmatism, his levelheadedness, his ability to stay centered in the eye of the storm."
From their grandfather, Stanley: "his love of the game. My grandfather ... pursued life with great zest and enthusiasm and a great sense of possibility."
In Hawaii, Obama was typical. And atypical.
He was a scholarship student at the prestigious Punahou School, a private academy in Honolulu where he was "intelligent, but not overly intellectual," says his half-sister. He was outgoing, laughed easily and wasn't above showing off.
Obama -- then known as Barry -- had a rebellious streak. One friend remembers they were both suspended in 7th grade for pitching quarters on school grounds.
The chubby kid who collected Spider-Man and Conan the Barbarian comics grew into a teen who listened to jazz saxophonist Grover Washington Jr. and Earth, Wind & Fire, tooled around in Gramps' old Ford Granada, golfed, played poker, sang in the choir and joined Ka Wai Ola, the school's literary journal.
Obama also loved basketball and as a forward dubbed "Barry O'Bomber," he favored a left-handed double pump shot. During his senior year, the varsity team captured the state championship.
Obama was both a fierce competitor and a sensitive friend. His buddy, Mike Ramos, says if he missed several baskets during pickup games, "Obama was the guy to say, 'Keep shooting. Don't worry. It'll drop.' "
There also was an introspective side to Obama, the outsider grappling with his biracial roots.
Though he had a racially mixed group of friends, he and two others among Punahou's few black students met weekly for what became known as "ethnic corner."
"It was more about learning from one another, other than it's the only place we feel safe," says Tony Peterson, one of the three. They discussed interracial dating, education -- and, he says, probably "whether we would see a black president in our lifetime."
Peterson and other buddies say Obama never spoke of the turmoil he revealed in his memoir, "Dreams from My Father," in which he wrote about wrestling with his racial identity and using drugs -- including marijuana and cocaine -- to "push questions of who I was out of my mind."
In a 1999 article written for the Punahou Bulletin, Obama said that as one of the few blacks in the school, "I probably questioned my identity a bit harder than most. As a kid from a broken home and family of relatively modest means, I nursed more resentments than my circumstances justified, and I didn't always channel those resentments in particularly constructive ways."
Obama arrived in Chicago in 1985 with a college degree, a map of the city and a new job -- community organizer.
Starting salary: About $13,000 a year (including a car allowance.)
Obama, who had worked in New York briefly after graduating from Columbia University, knew little about Chicago's bare-knuckle politics. But living abroad gave him experience as an outsider and a natural empathy for people without money and power, says Gerald Kellman, the man who hired him.
Working for the Developing Communities Project, Obama organized black churches on the industrial South Side, an area crippled by the loss of steel mills and factories.
Obama's task was to mobilize residents to agitate for themselves, whether it was lobbying for a job training center, pushing for more park services or removing asbestos from a housing project.
"He seemed to listen well and he learned fast," Kellman says. But even though Obama worked with people trained by Saul Alinsky, the father of community organizing, he didn't adopt hard-nose tactics.
"He did not like personal confrontation," Kellman says. "He had no trouble challenging power and challenging people on issues. When it came to face-to-face situations, he valued civility a great deal. ... When it came to negotiating conflict, he was very good at that."
Obama became close to many of those he organized -- women old enough to be his mother.
"This kid was so bright -- I shouldn't say kid, this man was so bright, but he didn't hit you over the head with it," recalls Loretta Augustine-Herron, a founding member of the communities project. "He was matter-of-fact and smooth. ... He explained things so nobody would be offended."
The women doted on him. They chided him when he would eat just a spinach salad for lunch, laughed when he showed off his dance moves ("He didn't lack confidence, I can tell you that," Augustine-Herron says) and joked about his punctuality and seriousness.
"If we don't hurry up, baby-faced Obama is going to be mad," they'd prod one another as they rushed to a meeting with him.
Yvonne Lloyd says Obama prepared them for dealing with bureaucrats, telling them whom to approach, guiding them on what to say -- then offering critiques.
"He was there, trying and pushing," says Lloyd, mother of 11. "He energized us. When you've been a housewife all your life and all you've done is raise kids, you don't know too much about the outside world. He taught us."
And if there was something he didn't know, he'd find out. "'Let me look into it' were his favorite words," says Lloyd, who still calls Obama "my skinny little boy."
Obama remained close with his half-sister, Maya, who visited Chicago during the summers. When her father died when she was just a teen, Obama, nearly a decade older, took on a paternal role, taking her on tours of college campuses.
Obama also was honing his writing skills, crafting vivid short stories about pastors and crumbling communities, inspired by his Chicago experiences. He showed them to fellow organizer Mike Kruglik, who was impressed by how he had captured the feel of the streets. "I couldn't figure out how he had the time and energy to do it," he says.
In three years as an organizer, Obama became increasingly aware of the limits to what he could achieve and grew more pragmatic, Kellman says. His father's experience as a civil servant in Africa was a cautionary tale.
"He had this sense of his dad being too idealistic and not practical enough ... and not accomplishing what he wanted," he adds. (Obama later wrote that his father -- who was killed in an automobile accident -- had died "a bitter man.")
Obama said in his memoir that during those years in Chicago, he "broke out of the larger isolation" he had when he arrived and discovered that sharing life stories with people "gave me the sense of place and purpose I'd been looking for."
He was ready to move on -- to Harvard Law School.
But he promised he'd return.
Obama entered Harvard older than many classmates, stepping into an incubator for America's elite -- future Supreme Court justices, Fortune 500 leaders, U.S. senators and presidents.
Former classmates and professors remember him as an intellect with mature judgment, a conciliator who could see both sides of an issue.
"He wasn't someone that you simply wanted to read his class notes or hear his voice," says Charles Ogletree, a Harvard law professor who served as a mentor to Obama and other black students. "You wanted to hear him thinking. There was something special about him."
The law school had plenty of achievers trying to edge out their competition but that wasn't Obama's style, says Laurence Tribe, a professor who hired him as a research assistant.
"He was not at all about credit but results," Tribe says. "He would often give credit to others that he did the work for."
Tribe says Obama also could deal with very smart people "in ways that didn't bend them out of shape. He learned how to move through those circles ... made few waves and got things done."
Obama had two pivotal moments at Harvard. One came during his first summer when he worked at a large Chicago corporate law firm and met another Harvard law graduate, Michelle Robinson, who would become his wife and the mother of their two daughters, Malia and Sasha.
The other was a professional triumph: Obama made headlines when he was elected the first black president of the Harvard Law Review, perhaps the most prestigious legal journal in the nation.
"For us, it was a real major celebration, a real milestone, a real landmark," says Earl Martin Phalen, a black classmate. "It didn't have the same meaning for him. ... He did not take that pound-on-my-chest attitude, 'Look at me, I'm the first one.' He was conscious of the historical significance but understood ... there was a responsibility."
With graduation, Obama became a hot commodity. High-powered job offers flooded in. He chose another direction.
Back in Chicago, Obama joined a small civil rights firm, ran a voter registration drive and lectured on constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School.
In 1996, he won a state Senate seat representing Hyde Park -- the South Side neighborhood that encompasses the university as well as some very poor neighborhoods.
Obama later wrote that he understood politics was "a full-contact sport and minded neither the sharp elbows nor the occasional blind-side hit." But in Springfield, the state capital, he was known as a pragmatist who'd cross party lines, working with other Democrats as well as Republicans.
Obama helped change laws governing the death penalty, ethics and racial profiling, and he won tax credits for the working poor. But he failed in his campaign for universal health care.
As a newcomer in the clubby atmosphere of Springfield, Obama also encountered cold shoulders. Some lawmakers initially thought he was a bit arrogant.
"It took him a while to prove that he was a real guy," says state Sen. Kirk Dillard, a Republican who appears in an Obama campaign commercial. "For the first couple of years, there was some healthy skepticism. ... It was especially true among his fellow African-American legislators."
Obama's roots and his style -- he avoids the racially tinged rhetoric some black politicians use -- have long stirred debate about his racial identity. Some black leaders and commentators have questioned whether he is "black enough."
Obama says there never has been any question about him being black.
"If you look African-American in society, you're treated as an African-American," he said in a CBS "60 Minutes" interview this year. "And when you're a child in particular that is how you begin to identify yourself. At least that's what I felt comfortable identifying myself as."
But Obama also said in that same interview that his racial identity is "not the core of who I am."
Being a black man, though, has undeniably shaped Obama's life experiences.
In his book "The Audacity of Hope," he says being a senator has spared him from some of the "bumps and bruises" many black men endure. But, he also wrote, he has faced the "litany of petty slights," including security guards trailing him in department stores and white couples tossing him keys outside restaurants, mistaking him for a valet.
"I know what it's like to have people tell me I can't do something because of my color, and I know the bitter swill of swallowed-back anger," he wrote.
But all through life -- from his childhood in Hawaii to his legislative days in Springfield -- Obama has counted on a racially mixed group of friends and political alliances.
As a state senator, some of his closest friends were suburban and rural white lawmakers. Obama also found a powerful ally in Emil Jones, the state Senate president, an old-school Chicago Democrat known for cutting deals, punishing enemies and having several family members on the state payroll.
Three years into his legislative career, Obama, both restless and ambitious, challenged U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush, a veteran who had an approval rating of about 70 percent and deep roots in the community, dating back decades to when he was a Black Panther.
During that campaign, Obama was dogged by the same question -- whether he was "black enough" for the district. His academic credentials mattered little to some voters who felt Rush better understood them.
Obama stumbled badly, losing the primary by 31 percentage points. When he arrived at his victory party, the race had already been called for Rush.
"Barack was perceived as an outsider," says Link, the state senator. "He wasn't one of the boys."
He wasn't deterred.
Two years later, he began plotting his next move -- a campaign for the U.S. Senate.
By then, he had a network of friends and supporters in Springfield, including his poker buddies who saw similarities in how he approached his work and the game.
"He was a very calculated player," Link says. "If he was going to play the hand, he knew it was a hand he could win. That's his politics, too. He's not going to do it just to do it."
Some call it The Speech -- a 17-minute star-making turn as a keynote speaker at the 2004 Democratic National Convention.
Obama was little known outside Illinois when he was chosen for the high-profile address. But he had impressed John Kerry, then the Democratic presidential nominee, after the Massachusetts senator heard him speak at a fundraiser, and the two men campaigned together in Chicago that spring.
His appearance at the convention that July night followed an old Broadway plot line: Barack Obama walked on stage an unknown. He walked off a star.
Commentators and politicians were buzzing with talk about his future -- and mentioning him as a possible presidential candidate.
But first things first.
Four months later, Obama, helped by some lucky breaks, won the U.S. Senate seat in a landslide. He became the third black U.S. senator since Reconstruction.
Since then, he has had the Midas touch: Two best-selling books, a Grammy award for recording one of them, magazine covers, TV appearances, invitations galore.
Last fall, Obama became one of the hottest attractions on the 2006 campaign trail, stumping for Democratic candidates around the nation.
Even President Bush has taken note of Obama's enormous popularity. When the senator attended a White House reception after being sworn in, he says, Bush warned him people would be gunning for him, waiting for a slip.
From the moment Obama emerged on the national scene, the question was asked:
Would he run for president? No, no, no, he said. Absolutely not.
Then after a scant two years in the U.S. Senate, the man who was an obscure state lawmaker not that long ago reversed course.
On a blustery February day, Barack Obama returned to Springfield to the steps of the Old Capitol, where his hero Abraham Lincoln was a legislator.
He came to make another big speech.
He announced he was running for president.

Local Fishing Report by the Green Top Professionals 2017 #13
Saltwater- Surf fishing along the Outer Banks is improving, much like a lot of other places. Big Red Drum catches are increasing almost daily. That usually means that the bite along the oceanfront, and inside the bay will ignite soon. Surf anglers are also catching Puppy Drum, Sea Mullet, and Blow Toads. Most of the reports are coming from Hatteras Island. Bluefin Tuna are still being caught from many of the chartered boats. Reports of Yellowfin are also coming in. Deep dropping for Tilefish at the Canyon is productive when … Read More »
Local Fishing Report by the Green Top Professionals 2017 #11
Saltwater- Windy conditions have been prevalent lately, holding many anglers back from venturing out. The days that have been fishable, anglers have been rewarded with sizable Bluefin Tuna. Yellowfin are a possibility, and jigging for Blackfin Tuna has been good out of Hatteras. Tautog continue to bite willingly, but again, conditions have not been favorable for numerous reports. The bridge-tunnel has been attracting the Togs over the last few weeks, making the trips shorter in which to target them. With the recent colder weather upon us, the bite may shrink, … Read More »
Local Fishing Report by the Green Top Professionals 2017 #10
Saltwater- Tautog remain the best option for structure fishing in the ocean and just inside the bay. Wrecks,such as the Triangle Wrecks, have been consistent producers of sizable Togs. The bridge-tunnel is yielding more and more Togs as the weather warms, and angler participation increases. There's been rumors of a few Flounder catches being made, with the warmer than usual temperatures that have been sticking around. The New Flounder Regs have been announced, and the new minimum length is 17 inches. Daily limits remain the same, with a 4 fish per … Read More »
Local Fishing Report by the Green Top Professionals 2017 #9
Saltwater- Even with the warm weather, reports aren't that numerous. The good news is that the Tautog continue to bite very well. Ocean wrecks have been the most popular,but there have been reports of Togs being caught from the CBBT. There's even been mention of fiddler crabs for sale, warm weather is indeed upon us! Speckled Trout reports are still coming from Lynnhaven Inlet and Rudee Inlet. Bluefin Tuna are being caught from chartered boats out of Oregon Inlet. A 93 incher was recently caught.

- Availability: In Stock: Usually ships within 1 business day
List Price: $345.00
Free Audio Lesson

Includes 30 lessons and reading instruction on 16 CDs (16 hrs), plus a Reading Booklet and User's Guide.
The Easiest and Fastest Way to Learn Croatian
Whether you want to travel, communicate with friends or colleagues, reconnect with family, or just understand more of what's going on in the world around you, learning Croatian will expand your horizons and immeasurably enrich your life.
The best part is that it doesn't have to be difficult or take years to master. Thirty minutes a day is all it takes, and we get you speaking right from the first day. Pimsleur courses use a scientifically-proven method that puts you in control of your learning. If you've tried other language learning methods but found they simply didn't stick, then you owe it to yourself to give Pimsleur a try.
Why Pimsleur?
- Quick + Easy – Only 30 minutes a day.
- Portable + Flexible – Core lessons can be done anytime, anywhere, and easily fit into your busy life.
- Proven Method – Works when other methods fail.
- Self-Paced – Go fast or go slow – it's up to you.
- Based in Science – Developed using proven research on memory and learning.
- Cost-effective – Less expensive than classes or immersion, and features all native speakers.
- Genius – Triggers your brain's natural aptitude to learn.
- Works for everyone – Recommended for ages 13 and above.
What's Included?
- 30, 30-minute audio lessons
- 60 minutes of reading instruction to provide you with an introduction to reading Croatian designed to teach you to sound out words with correct pronunciation and accent
- In total, 16 hours of audio, all featuring native speakers
- a Reading Booklet and a User's Guide
What You'll Learn
In the first 10 lessons, you'll cover the basics: saying hello, asking for or giving information, scheduling a meal or a meeting, asking for or giving basic directions, and much more. You'll be able to handle minimum courtesy requirements, understand much of what you hear, and be understood at a beginning level, but with near-native pronunciation skills.
In the next 10 lessons, you'll build on what you've learned. Expand your menu, increase your scheduling abilities from general to specific, start to deal with currency and exchanging money, refine your conversations and add over a hundred new vocabulary items. You'll understand more of what you hear, and be able to participate with speech that is smoother and more confident.
In the final 10 lessons, you'll be speaking and understanding at an intermediate level. In this phase, more directions are given in the Croatian language, which moves your learning to a whole new plane. Lessons include shopping, visiting friends, going to a restaurant, plans for the evening, car trips, and talking about family. You'll be able to speak comfortably about things that happened in the past and make plans for the future.
Reading Lessons are included beginning in Lesson 11 to provide you with an introduction to reading Croatian. These lessons, which total about one hour, are designed to teach you to sound out words with Croatian pronunciation and accent. A Reading Booklet to be used with the audio lessons is also included in PDF format.
The Pimsleur Method
We make no secret of what makes this powerful method work so well. Paul Pimsleur spent his career researching and perfecting the precise elements anyone can use to learn a language quickly and easily. Here are a few of his "secrets":
The Principle of Anticipation
In the nanosecond between a cue and your response, your brain has to work to come up with the right word. Having to do this boosts retention, and cements the word in your mind.
Core Vocabulary
Words, phrases, and sentences are selected for their usefulness in everyday conversation. We don't overwhelm you with too much, but steadily increase your ability with every lesson.
Graduated Interval Recall
Reminders of new words and structures come up at the exact interval for maximum retention and storage into your long-term memory.
Organic Learning
You work on multiple aspects of the language simultaneously. We integrate grammar, vocabulary, rhythm, melody, and intonation into every lesson, which allows you to experience the language as a living, expressive form of human culture.
Learning in Context
Research has shown that learning new words in context dramatically accelerates your ability to remember. Every scene in every Pimsleur lesson is set inside a conversation between two people. There are no drills, and no memorization necessary for success.
Active Participation
The Pimsleur Method + active learner participation = success. This method works with every language and every learner who follows it. You gain the power to recall and use what you know, and to add new words easily, exactly as you do in English.
The Croatian Language
Croatian, the official language of Croatia, is spoken by approximately 4.5 million speakers in Croatia, plus 1 million speakers in other parts of Europe, the US, and Canada. There are 3 main dialects: kajkavski, cakavski, and štokavski (official dialect). Pimsleur's Croatian teaches štokavski.
Tech Talk
- CDs are formatted for playing in all CD players, including car players, and users can copy files for use in iTunes or Windows Media Player.

Comments about Pimsleur Croatian Level 1 MP3:
Getting along famously, however, I do appreciate this is an American product but it would be useful to be given examples of how to apply to an english citizen. I am learning croatian as my son is getting married to a Croatian girl in 6 months and I would love to hold a conversation with her parents.
The repetition is great but I am a visual learner so I would find it very useful to see the phrases written. That said , I am finding the structure of the course very effective and feel I could make myself understood by expanding my vocabulary. When are you bringing out level 2? I was very disappointed when I realised there is no more after the course I have purchased. Please don't leave me hanging!

Comments about Pimsleur Croatian Level 1 MP3:
I had 30 lessons in croatian. This experience was great, I really increase my hrvatski thanks to this. The only thing that I didn't like that the level increase too quickly.
The ten firsts lessons are maybe too simple and maybe too repetetive. It's long too continue. But it's good, I was able to masterize this party. But after the 18th lesson I think... It was a rush. We speak a long time about "children" and the time given to repeat the sentence is too short. So you make it a little quick and have sometime the necessary too repeat the lesson. Mostly after lesson 27. Too too quick spoken.
The Pimsleur writting courses were useless for me. A translate would be an interesting add to have a little dictionnary. And also, the audio one need I think a written courses. Because some time we didn't understand the word.
If you want to learn croatian, I recommand to start with other writtend application to gain base before start this Pimsleur courses.
When I was in Croatia after that, I understand a little bit and spoke too. People understand me and give me some advice. It was really cool.
Whereas, I loved this one one and I really want another in croatian. Or maybe test the russian but I need a promotional code... ;-)

Q23. Define Base.
Ans. The number of symbols in a number system. Also, one of the three regions in a BJT.
Ans. The number of symbols in a number system. Also, one of the three regions in a BJT.
Ans. Electrical connection common to all segments of the LCD.
Ans. Transfer of data performed without the aid of clock.
Ans. Also called the overriding inputs of FFs. They can affect the operation of the FF independent of the clock and synchronous inputs.
Ans. A type of counter in which the external clock signal is applied only to the first FF and the output of each FF serves as the clock input to the next FF in the chain.
Ans. Having no fixed time relationship.
Ans. An operating system is an important component of a computer system which controls all other components of the computer system. Major components of a computer system are:
Where hardware provides the basic computing resources, the application program routines define the ways in which these resources are used to solve the computing problems of the users and the Operating System controls and coordinates the use of the hardware among the various application programs for the various users.
Ans. A program can be stored at non contiguous locations, suppose even if we use all available free memory areas still the program cannot be loaded into the main storage because the total free memory is still less than the size of the program. To solve such a problem, we require a technique with which a program can still be executed even if all of it is not loaded in the memory. Virtual storage helps one perform such an execution. Two main approaches to virtual storage are
Ans. In the working of a modern computer system, memory plays a central role. Both CPU and Input/output system interact with memory. Memory is a large array of words or bytes, each with its own address. The CPU reads from and writes to specific memory addresses.
Figure: Memory plays a central role in Computer System
A program must be assigned some memory area and loaded into memory in order to be executed. As the program executes, it accesses program instructions and data from memory by generating addresses of the allocated memory. When the program terminates, its memory space is declared free, and the next program may be given the same memory area. There can be many user programs loaded in the memory along with system programs and operating system.
Ans. As the name itself suggests, Processor Management means managing the process or processor that is, the CPU. Therefore, this very function is also termed as CPU Scheduling.
Multiprogramming, undoubtedly, improves the overall efficiency of the computer system by getting more work done in less time as the CPU may be shared among a number of active programs which are present in the memory at the same time. While CPU is executing a job, it has to wait for the job; if the job requires certain Input/output operation, the CPU waits for the Input/output operation to get over and that wait time is CPU's idle time. In place of making CPU sit idle, another job takes over the use of CPU, increasing efficiency thereby and reducing CPU idle time.
The benefits of multiprogramming are as follow:

How Do I Refill The Ink Tanks?
Decorating By BakingGirl Updated 7 May 2010 , 2:56pm by BakingGirl
I hope someone here has done it and can help me, because I am stumped! I have a Canon printer with the IP42 tanks, set of 4. I bought some bottles of ink so I can refill the tanks but the instruction sheet that comes with it does not have my tanks on it and I cannot find anything on Kopykake's website. The tank inside has a chamber which is full of ink when the cartridge is new, and another chamber next to it which has a spongy thing in it. On top there is a little hole with the spongy stuff exposed. I am supposed to plunge the needle on the ink bottle into the sponge and squirt the ink in that way? I tried but I am making a hideous mess and nothing seems to leak into the other chamber. Aaaargh! Please help!
Anybody? While I am waiting I need to go and scrub my hands, have ink up to my elbows!

US warns of possible imminent terror attack in Saudi city of Jeddah
The U.S. State Department warned Americans in Saudi Arabia on Thursday of a possible imminent terror attack in the Red Sea port city of Jeddah.
"The U.S. Consulate General in Jeddah has received an unconfirmed report that a possible terrorist attack in the Al Hamra district of Jeddah may occur in the near future," the State Department said in a statement.
"While we cannot certify the credibility of the threat, in light of recent events this information is being shared with the American community."
The State Department advised U.S. citizens in Saudi Arabia to maintain a high level of vigilance and to take steps to increase their security. "Some consulate families resident in the al-Hamra district have elected to move to different quarters," it said. (Albawaba.com)

great product By Matthew on 12/10/2016Matthew would recommend this product to a friendGreat pump. the power supply lasted about 3 years and had to be replaced but the pump itself is still going like brand new. I have purchased 3 of these and all of them work great! They do sell the power supply separately so you don't have to buy the whole kit again; just the part needed.
Great pump By Luis on 10/8/2016Luis would recommend this product to a friendMy water output before the pump was 35psi. Once I installed the pump my psi jumped up to 83.
Increase output and reduce rejected water By Lawrence on 7/13/2016Lawrence wouldn't recommend this product to a friendBefore having the pump, the ratio between rejected water and RODI was 2 : 1, now it is 1 : 1.23. I'm very very happy.
It used to be 18 minutes to produce 1 gallon of RODI. Now 8 minutes!! WOW !!!
The pump increases the water pressure from 50 psi to 90 psi, and when I turn the faucet to wash my hands, the pressure just drops to 80 psi.
* When you order, make sure you buy the "glycerin filled pressure gauge". Otherwise you can't measure the performance!
* I built a wooden stand on the floor for it. If I mount on the wall, the vibration will make some noise.
Good little pump By James on 9/9/2015James would recommend this product to a friendIt's worked perfectly! It pushes 85psi so I backed it down to about 70psi. The pressure is rock solid. If someone takes a shower or does laundry.. 70psi, no change. It's pretty quiet too, for a pump. I like the springy rubber mounting feet. They definitely help suspend it and make it quieter.
AMAZING! By Callum Pickles on 8/17/2015Callum Pickles would recommend this product to a friendI'm on well water so the pressure was running about 35 PSI.. When I hooked up the water booster it was running about 85 PSI! Very happy with this product!!
works great By o2c5 on 4/26/2015o2c5 would recommend this product to a friendThis pump easily doubled my water pressure what a difference from before, I can prepare water much quicker and be ready for any kind of water related emergency
Perfect!!!! By tbisque on 2/16/2015tbisque would recommend this product to a friendDoes exactly what I hoped it would do. The water pressure for the RO/DI 6 stage unit is now throttled back to 80 pounds! This and the 150 gpd upgrade were will worth every penny. Now making almost 150 gallons/day and have very little was water about 1 gallon good 1 gallon bad!
It does what it's supposed to do. By Phil on 10/22/2014Phil would recommend this product to a friendI suspected my water pressure was low when after only about 60 gallons I burned through nearly 1/3rd of my DI resin. I purchased a BRS pressure gauge (SKU: 200215) and discovered that the pressure coming from under my sink where I connected my RODI system inline was around 45PSI. As we all know I need >60PSI for my 150GPD Upgraded RODI system to operate optimally. I purchased the booster pump and it did exactly what it was supposed to do! I set it up inline between my water source and my RODI unit, plugged in the power supply (SKU: 200201) and my water pressure went up from 44 to ~95. Not only did I see an increase in RODI production to the 175GPD (as expected), but I'm using less than HALF the DI resin I was before.
great product By Ralph on 10/15/2014Ralph would recommend this product to a friendI needed to boost my water pressure after installing the second RO kit and this is exactly what I needed. It took my pressure from 55 PSI to 90 PSI. Runs quiet and seems to be very well built. Another great product that they offer here.
Just what I needed!!! By Michael on 10/9/2014Michael would recommend this product to a friendSo i was running a Stage 5 RO/DI and it was only hitting about 55psi and I was loosing a lot of production to the ratio of 4 gallons of waste to 1 gallon to clean water. Install this booster and it has instantly changed that ratio to 1:1 if not better. If your pressure is low get one of these you won't regret it...

Hello scoobyhome,
Upon checking your form's notification email template, I found that the field name of phone number is mentioned wrong. That is the reason your submission emails does not display the phone number value.
It seems you have edited your email alert. Please be noted that if you edit your email alert, any changes you make in your form, will not be updated automatically in your email alert. You will have to update the email template as well.
To solve your problem, you should delete the notification email alert and add a new one. A new email template will always display all the form fields with correct field names. The following guides should help you:
Delete email alert: http://www.jotform.com/help/132-How-to-Delete-Notifications-Autoresponder
Add new email alert: http://www.jotform.com/help/25-Setting-Up-Email-Notifications
Hope this helps.

I've fixed it for you. Your current tag is: {numerTelefonu13} but the correct one is: {numerTelefonu}. Please kindly check again and I would advise that after you changed your field labels, check for your form notification and autoresponder if both have the correct form field tags.

I would also recommend re-embedding your form using our iFrame Method: Getting-the-Form-iFrame-Code. This is an advantage if you do not want to re-embed again your form using the source codes if you made some changes to your form.

Memories Of Childhood Are Sometimes Only Knowledge Later Learned - Poem by Adeline Foster
~Memories Of Childhood Are Sometimes Only Knowledge Later Learned
I remember, I remember the day that I was born.
"How's that, " you say, "impossible." the tale
My sister would relate and then regale
Me with the details of the scar she's worn.
Most vivid are the memories reborn
From countless tellings o'er the family plate.
We both would beg our mother to relate
How on that fated night before the morn-
I was newborn and sister not a year-
The boiling pot she'd tipped upon her back
So that we shared each cry, each wail, each tear.
Still are the memories so vivid that
The scar she bore for me made her more dear.
Some memories are knowledge kept most clear.

Jennifer Aniston On Bare Scenes
February 22, 2012 by staff
Jennifer Aniston On Bare Scenes, Jennifer Aniston shows a lot of skin in her new comedy Wanderlust. As the trailers tease, the star spends a considerable number of scenes in various states of undress.
"Yeah, there was a lot of [nudity]," Aniston, 43, tells ET Canada of the movie, which costars Paul Rudd and her beau, Justin Theroux. "Bottomless, t*pless. Yeah, there is. It's happening."
Aniston describes her n*de scenes as fitting with "the spirit of the movie," which chronicles a Manhattan couple's move from the Big City to a rural commune.
"'Liberating' is a good word to use," she says of her character's au naturel scenes. As for how Aniston dealt with her costars taking off their clothes, she says she just "figured out how to throw on a pair of sunglasses."
One colleague's on-screen nudity required an unforgettable accessory. Comedic actor Joe Lo Truglio (Reno 911!) used a prosthetic pns, which was difficult to ignore. How did Aniston react to Lo Truglio's special prop? "You're mesmerized," she told People.
