UNHAPPY NRMA customers, smash repairers and former staff have come forward with complaints about the insurance giant and a Senate Estimates hearing was told last week that the competition watchdog is considering a probe into alleged anti-competitive behaviour.
The NSW Nationals senator John Williams raised the issue in Parliament, saying he was very concerned about claims of the NRMA's bullying and deceptive behaviour, first reported by Fairfax Media.
Nigel Ridgway, group general manager at the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, told the estimates hearing he was aware of the problems.
''The ACCC is considering a volume of material which has been provided by motor repairer representatives,'' he said.
An investigation by Fairfax Media revealed last week that the NRMA is facing legal action for misleading and deceptive conduct after being accused of bullying its car insurance customers and using scare tactics to stop them choosing their own independent smash repairer.
Customers have also come forward complaining that they had been stood over and intimidated by NRMA representatives.
One repairer emailed Fairfax: ''My turnover has greatly decreased and it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain my business. I am possibly being faced with financial ruin.''''
A NRMA spokesman said the company was not aware of any issue. However, it would welcome any approach from the ACCC, or Senator Williams, to discuss its Partner Smash Repairer network.
''Every repairer in NSW had the opportunity to apply to be part of the network in a fair and transparent process, which at the end of the day is designed to protect our customers,'' the spokesman said.
Richard Mitry from Mitry Lawyers is acting for an Artarmon smash repairer, Atlas Motor Body Works.
It has started legal action against the NRMA accusing it of maliciously slurring the company and diverting customers to NRMA-preferred repairers.
Atlas's complaints have been echoed by dozens of other smash repairers.
I am possibly being faced with financial ruin.
An ACCC spokeswoman said that any conduct by businesses that was misleading or deceptive was prohibited and concerns may arise where consumers were misled into error from representations used as part of the promotion of products or services.
''The most important factor in determining whether conduct may be misleading is the overall impression imparted to the audience,'' she said.

As the Christmas festivities wind down (and notwithstanding the slightly lower work rate as we keep one eye on the cricket), investors look to take stock of the year that was.
While the fiscal cliff negotiations have added a little spice to an otherwise quiet time of year on the stockmarket, the past 12 months have delivered a very welcome positive return to salve some of the still-raw memories of the global financial crisis.
Keeping score
As of Christmas Eve, the All Ordinaries had gained 17.0 per cent this year, increasing to 18.4 per cent when dividends are included, according to data from Capital IQ.
That's a very strong return, both in absolute terms and compared with the long-run average market return of between 9 and 11 per cent per annum (depending on the index and timeframe).
It's also a time of reckoning for those of us who've put our recommendations out into the public domain. At least it should be - analysts and commentators aren't held anywhere near as accountable as they (we!) should be. The same should be true of your advisor, by the way!
A pleasing result
Readers may recall we stuck our necks out to select our top stock picks for 2012 at the beginning of the year.
To be fair, the picks weren't chosen just for an arbitrary 365-day period - there's nothing magic about the turning of a calendar, and investing is a long-term pursuit best judged over years, not weeks or months. We selected companies we thought represented good value at the beginning of January on the basis of their attractiveness to long-term investors.
The good news is that results thus far have been very pleasing. Three of the four companies we featured have beaten the market - two of those more than doubling the market's return. The fourth company unfortunately delivered negative returns.
Since that article was published on January 4, the All Ordinaries Index - including dividends - has advanced a very nice 17.1 per cent.
Our four-stock portfolio managed to put on 22.1 per cent, handily beating the index. Not bad for a blue-chip selection of companies that never offered the promise of speculative resources or biotech companies, but also bought less potential for risk.
One loser and three winners
Our worst performer was the trouble-plagued QBE Insurance (ASX: QBE). Despite putting on some nice gains by midway through 2012, the company's shares suffered at the hands of (somewhat understandably) impatient investors who lost faith with its management and earnings downgrades.
The total return for QBE was a loss of 13.9 per cent, a result which was helped by solid dividends through the year, reminding investors of the value of regular dividends as part of our share returns.
Our third-placed company was Coca-Cola Amatil (ASX: CCL). The soft-drink king had a reasonably good year of financial performance, and shareholders benefited by 20.3 per cent, despite some less-than-exciting sales growth announced just a fortnight ago.
Already dominating the Australian soft-drink market, the company's sales growth prospects - at least in the short term - are somewhat muted, but good cost control and exposure to the exciting Indonesian market have seen investors keep faith with Coca-Cola Amatil.
Our runner-up - by the smallest of margins - was the telecommunications giant Telstra (ASX: TLS). Years of underperformance meant we were being offered a very attractive price at the turn of the year, and taking advantage of the market's pessimism - and a healthy dividend - made Telstra a strong addition to this list.
Telstra delivered a 40.7 per cent return this year, as the company earned its way back into investors' good graces with consistent levels of performance, improving customer service, some promised cash from the NBN and strong mobile data growth.
The best performer in our quartet was Westfield Group (ASX: WDC), which pipped Telstra by bringing in a 41.3 per cent return this year.
Another company that spent much of the past few years in the investment dog house, Westfield - like Telstra - just looked too cheap to ignore when we made our picks, and so it turned out to be. The shopping centre king convinced investors that the worst was behind it and that the company had been unfairly beaten down.
Throwing in a brighter future as consumer spending returns to normal in the US and Europe and the company's expansion into South America, and Westfield went to the top of our scorecard.
Foolish takeaway
Selecting stocks "for 2012" is always a difficult task. Sometimes our thesis will take longer to play out, sometimes we get blindsided, and sometimes we'll just be plain wrong.
Still, the process has been instructive. Things go wrong and diversification is important. Keeping score is imperative. Dividends matter and you don't have to look for penny stocks to beat the index. Lastly, the opportunity to buy quality businesses when they're on sale is a tried and tested way to strong investment returns.
For 2012, we earned our keep.

Andres Iniesta grabbed a late winner in extra-time as Spain won the World Cup for the first time.
Iniesta struck with four minutes remaining to settle a tetchy encounter which saw English referee Howard Webb brandish a record 12 yellow cards, plus a red for Everton's John Heitinga on a night when Holland shamed the 'Total Football' for which they have been synonymous since the first of what is now three final defeats in 1974.
Webb deserves a huge amount of credit for not setting a new record for red cards, let alone yellow, the first of which he showed to Robin van Persie in the 14th minute.
Pretty soon, combative midfield duo Mark van Bommel and Nigel de Jong joined him for challenges that could easily have ended their evening.
The feeling that if the match had been played on a park pitch rather than being a showpiece occasion watched by an estimated three billion, one, or both, would have been sent off was inescapable.
Van Bommel's challenge on Joan Capdevila was bad enough. De Jong's karate kick on Xabi Alonso was awful.
Spain were not complete innocents in all of this. But it was the European Champions who were feeling most aggrieved, which only intensified when Webb did not see a niggly second-half challenge from Van Bommel that sparked a reaction from Barcelona playmaker Iniesta.
It made for such unsightly viewing and a final which did not even come close to matching its billing.
In fairness any game that is preceded by an appearance from Nelson Mandela is going to struggle to live up to expectations.
However, as the rather tasteless celebrations of Uruguay's Luis Suarez showed after his "real Hand of God" that denied Ghana a place in the semi-final, the ends justify the means.
And that is exactly how Holland would have viewed it if Iker Casillas had not made a quite brilliant save to deny Arjen Robben after the former Chelsea star had been set free by Sneijder.
Robben must have thought he had done everything right. Running at pace until he saw the whites of Casillas' eyes, he shaped to go one way, then placed his shot to the other corner.
Casillas was committed in the other direction but stuck out a leg and turned the effort wide.
It was by some distance the best opportunity of the regulation 90 minutes, although Sergio Ramos had a couple of decent openings.
Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas twice came close to breaking the deadlock in extra-time, when Xavi also had a penalty claim turned down.
But Spain were not to be denied. Fabregas slotted it through to Iniesta and after one touch to control it, his second was a crisp volley past Stekelenburg.
The loss of Fernando Torres to a hamstring injury in stoppage time may have further consequences for Liverpool.
But in Madrid and Barcelona that will not matter.

Heinrich Kluver (May 25, 1897 - February 8, 1979) was a German-American psychologist born in Holstein, Germany.
He was a notable figure in the fields of animal behavior and Gestalt psychology, largely credited with introducing the latter to the United States in the early twentieth century.
After having served in the Imperial Germany Army during World War I, he studied at both the University of Hamburg and the University of Berlin from 1920-23. In the latter year, he arrived in the United States to attend Stanford University. He received his Ph.D. in physiological psychology from Stanford University. In 1927 he married Cessa Feyerabend and settled in the United States permanently, becoming a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1934.
He collaborated most often and fruitfully with Paul Bucy and made various contributions to neuroanatomy throughout his career.They worked together on identifying the Kluver-Bucy syndrome.
His expositions of and experiments with mescaline were also groundbreaking at the time.

Week 11
Who: Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5-4) vs. Carolina Panthers (2-7)
When: Sunday, 11/18 at 1 PM
Where: Bank of America Stadium
Radio: WFUS 103.5 FM/ WDAE 620 AM
DirecTV: 705
Sirius: 136
Last Meeting: These two division rivals met opening day with the Bucs earning a hard-fought 16-10 win. Running back Doug Martin rushed for 95 yards in his first game and the defense allowed a franchise-low 10 rushing yards to the Panthers' dangerous running attack.
Key Matchup on Offense:
RB Doug Martin vs. LB Luke Kuechly – This should be an exciting one-on-one matchup between these two talented rookies. Martin has been nearly unstoppable as of late and he's third in the NFL with 862 rushing yards and seven touchdowns. Trying to slow him down will be Kuechly, who is third in the league with 87 tackles. The Bucs want to pound the rock to setup the play-action passing game, and to keep the ball out of Cam Newton's hands. Martin will have to run hard and avoid Kuechly, who's tasked with slowing Martin before he hits the second level of defenders.
Key Matchup on Defense:
Tampa Bay's cornerbacks vs. WR Steve Smith – It used to be Aqib Talib that would shadow Smith up and down the field. Now that he is in New England, the Bucs will have to try and find someone else to slow Smith down. It could be Eric Wright, E.J. Biggers, or Leonard Johnson. The Bucs will likely throw different defenders at Smith to see who plays the long-time superstar the best. With Carolina's running game struggling lately, expect Smith, who has 39 catches for 649 yards, to be a major part of their game-plan.

Domenico Scarlatti's old pupil from his Lisbon days, the Portuguese princess, married Ferdinand VI of Spain, and invited Scarlatti to the Spanish court. He accepted, and in 1733 he went to Madrid, where he lived until his death in 1757. This period of 24 years would be the longest sojourn of his life and one of the most productive.
Here, with the thorough musical grounding he brought with him from Italy and his own brilliance on the harpsichord, Scarlatti immersed himself in the folk tunes and rhythms of Spain, with their distinctive Moorish/Arabic and gypsy influences.
He composed more than 500 keyboard sonatas, unique in their total originality, and the use of the acciaccatura, the 'simultaneous mordent', the 'vamp' (usually at the beginning of the second half of a sonata). The "folk" element is constantly present throughout these works.
As one listens to these Sonatas, it is the never-failing invention and vitality of the music that is so remarkable; and all the more so when one realizes that the composer produced the great majority of these works at incredible speed in the last five years or so of his life. In these Sonatas, concentrated into the resources of one keyboard instrument, may be heard all the fire and passion of Spanish life. Not until the 20th century do we find music that so faithfully reflects the ambience of its country's folk culture.
These are not dry academic performances all played on one single-manual harpsichord with no change of sound and texture. The instruments of Thomas Goff based on the English Kirckman tradition, have more tonal variety than any other harpsichord. Valda Aveling exploits this rich tonal palette, bringing out to the full the contrasts of energy and brilliance, sadness and somber tones, which are the hallmarks of Domenico Scarlatti's keyboard works.

JoshHo - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - linkSorry for getting this up so late, I didn't manage to get around to finishing the writeup that I had when the G Pro 2/G2 Mini launched.
The Nokia X launch article was also missed, I'm working on it now. The GS5 launch just seemed to get in the way of things. Reply
Mondozai - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - linkDon't beat yourself up, quality over quantity.
P.S would it be possible to include a table with the specs of the current gen compared to the old gen side by side? That is typically available in most smartphone articles you guys have. Reply
Hrel - Thursday, February 27, 2014 - linkI second this request. I'd really like to see how this stacks up to the G2. Reply
coburn_c - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - linkMuch better feel than the G2? The G2 is the best '-in-hand' experience I've ever had. I've had the super slippery glass back, the sensual HTC metal, and the ol' Sammy plastic. None of those matter anything like the shape/taper, and the G2 does that perfectly. ... Buttons on the back is stupid tho, to get purchase on them you have to squeeze the sides anyway, but I'll put up with that for the no bezel experience. Knock-on helps a lot. Reply
Zuke1624 - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - linkIs the 801 actually the MSM8974-AC, not the AB? I thought the AB is still firmly in 800 territory? Reply
evonitzer - Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - linkCheck out Anand's little summary of the new Qualcomm chips, but yes, the 801=AC. There is also an AB version of the 800, as well as the plain 8974. This pipeline story covers it.

Zuke1624 - Thursday, February 27, 2014 - linkI was just wondering, since the article says the G Pro 2 has an 801, buy then gives the part number for the 800. Reply
Zuke1624 - Thursday, February 27, 2014 - linkNevermind, fixed since I first read it. Reply
barleyguy - Thursday, February 27, 2014 - linkQuestion: How big is the battery, and what is the estimated battery life, on the G2 Mini? One of my main interests in the G2 is the long battery life, but I prefer smaller phones (and possibly cheaper). (I currently have a Samsung Galaxy Skyrocket, and I have to charge it every day.) Reply
Hrel - Thursday, February 27, 2014 - linkAgreed, 5" is too big for a phone. But I really like the LG G2. Long battery life, fast, LTE, nice screen. If I could get the same phone just smaller for less money I'd do it tomorrow. Reply
sholling007 - Friday, February 28, 2014 - linkI really like the ideas behind the G Pro 2 (very large form factor and removable battery) and at first really wanted one, but I'm having second thoughts now that I've read further. First the knock code does not float my boat the way that a finger print reader would have. Second the 13MP camera is way behind the technology curve when compared to the 16 and 20 mega pixel competition, But for me the real deal breaker are the rumors that it will not support 128GB microSD cards. I store a lot of music and audiobooks on my phone, plus videos and >64GB expansion is a must-have on my check list. Reply
jk1 - Friday, March 07, 2014 - linkif you care about how your music SOUNDS you might want to know that the lg's apparently have a better dac than the samsungs. and megapixels is just marketing. sensor size and the size of the sensor pixels matter in terms of noise and sensitivity. junky cameras may have a lot of pixels squeezed on a small sensor, and generate crummy images- but they're sold on the # of megapixels. image quality is the issue.

There is increasing interest in lab-based oral fluid drug testing as the federal government continues to develop regulations that will ultimately permit its use in government-mandated programs. Many employers already rely on lab-based oral fluid testing because of a long list of advantages and benefits. But in business the bottom line is always the bottom in line. So it's fair to ask what is the return on investment value of lab-based oral fluid testing? Will employers save on the front-end costs of a drug test? What impact does it have on the hidden costs of drug testing? Will positivity rates be affected?
In this enlightening presentation attendees will learn the answers to these questions and more, including how to accurately calculate the ROI of lab-based oral fluid testing compared to other drug testing methods.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 21/1/2013 (1671 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
One day in August 2005, a member of Phoenix Sinclair's extended family sat down and called every child welfare agency in the province. She estimates she made 20 or 30 calls.
The woman, who had been the child's primary caregiver for weeks in 2003, was worried because she hadn't seen the child in months and no longer believed Samantha Kematch's explanation she was with another caregiver.
So she went to work, using numbers she got from the phone book and 411, and she told whoever answered she was an aunt looking for Phoenix Victoria Hope Sinclair, born on April 23, 2000. She was worried about Phoenix, she said, because she hadn't seen her for so long. Some CFS workers told her there was no file on Phoenix, which was false. She kept trying until she reached Stan Williams, the last of the child's many social workers. He told her Phoenix was fine and doing well.
That was false, too.
Contrast the efforts of this woman, who cannot be identified by order of the inquiry, to the weak efforts made by the child welfare system to ensure the safety of Phoenix. They had all the advantages: a computer system with the multi-generational history of the family's CFS involvement, paper files, direct phone numbers of everyone involved on the file and cautions there were recent abuse concerns.
When Kematch had her fourth child in December 2004, the hospital contacted CFS. They made sure CFS knew Karl McKay was the father of the newborn. The agency believed it didn't have McKay's date of birth, couldn't find it and so couldn't locate his file. If they'd tried, they would have learned he had a history of violence against his partners and, possibly, children.
The worker referred the file to another CFS unit. The unit sent it back. The file was closed without anyone seeing Phoenix. Supervisor Diva Faria authorized the closure. She was on the stand Monday and testified this sort of file passing occurred so regularly the workers called it the Walk of Shame.
In March 2005, an abuse allegation was levelled against Kematch. A woman called the CFS after-hours unit and said her foster daughter, a friend of Kematch's, told her the mom was locking Phoenix in her bedroom. When a pair of workers went to the apartment, Kematch wouldn't let them in. They spoke to her in the hall. They did not see Phoenix. The file was closed, again by Faria.
"This referral was not exceptional, it did not stand out in any way," she said. I'm not an overly sympathetic sort, but I felt sorry for Faria yesterday. The buck stopped with her but only because her colleagues refused to accept it. She said there were times when cases were "declined" by a unit and program managers had to step in. She used the expression "like a hot potato" to explain how these files were handled.
In Phoenix's case, she said, there was no specific allegation of abuse, the whistleblower refused to be identified and the social workers, sent to investigate, failed to identify further issues.
Of course, those workers didn't go into the apartment. They saw the newborn baby but not Phoenix. They left and, sorry if I'm repeating myself, Faria closed the file. It was a job, she said, that would have taken her no more than 30 minutes to complete.
They didn't see Phoenix because they didn't make it a priority. They didn't find Karl McKay's file because it was too much work to track down his date of birth.
There was nothing to indicate Phoenix's case was an urgent situation, Faria testified. Of course, and this is just my skeptical nature, if anyone had taken the time to look at Phoenix in the flesh it may have been bloody obvious there was a problem.
There is no question CFS frontline workers were (and continue to be) saddled with too many cases and not enough time to deal with them. They had to prioritize and Phoenix didn't make the cut.
"We were making decisions based on the information available to us," Faria said. So was the woman who tracked down Stan Williams, armed with nothing more than a phone book. The difference is, she considered Phoenix a priority.

It started out ok. We were dragging people into raid, as we have been in the past month or two now, and we managed to have a full group after 20 minutes of scrounging. People were in reasonably good spirits - Hwired was teasing me because I tried to cover up the fact that I didn't know what frangers were in my last post (when we were having our tampon talk) by thinking it was something else. Fue was dragged out of D3 and he was saying how the boat is his favourite fight and I expressed my surprise, to which he replied "That was sarcasm, Navi." Hey, sometimes with Fue you can't tell! And Sev was there... surprisingly... and even Shab said he would come to help out. But we didn't need Shab in the end so he was happy to stay in D3, but he came later. Falln got a bleeding nose mid raid. Roshii told him to put a tampon in it. Falln says he gets bleeding noses every day but only during raid time. He thought maybe the stress of that stupid fight was making his nose bleed. That made me giggle. That and the thought of a tampon string hanging out of his nose ><
The one awesome attempt we had we hit enrage and Bish was doing amazing healing but we had 2 dps dead and we couldn't do it. But that was pretty cool, and I was proud of Bish and he was feeling pretty proud of himself too :)
But then it was just awful after that and the fire everywhere, people dying before phase 2.... by the end of the night, Hwired had enough. He said he didn't want to do this fight ever again, he'll do alt runs but he will not do boat. Ever. Period.
Was he venting? Maybe. Was he serious? Probably. I would have liked to get heroic spine down, but it obviously just wasn't meant to be. Besides, this is the only expansion we are actually DOING that sort of stuff.
It was looking at Shoryl's blogroll (where I found myself on it the other day, much to my excitement) and she said this about my blog:
...is a blog about being in a casual raiding guild (for values of casual that involve raiding 4 days a week and doing heroics!)...
Are we casual? What casual guild does heroics? We do like raiding, but we aren't just a raiding guild, we have a large social component to it as well. Anyway, for me, I'm disappointed, and wondering what to do in the meantime about raiding, but I do have other diversions. And what happens to those people who are only in the guild to raid? Do you think they have the patience to wait it out till Mists? In truth, I think yes, because I know we'll just start up raiding again when we all hit 90 and it will be 25s for a while before we drop back into 10s again.
Anyway, speaking of other diversions, after a lousy raid, a good round of arena always helps. Sev and Shab are always eager for it. Shab and I were still really excited about our last lot of games and I think us talking got Sev half enthusiastic too. Hard to tell with Sev sometimes. Sev was still moping about his cut finger, and he has a cold. Shab said he was walking to work and was still thinking about our wins from the other day. At least we are like minded in that way. We logged in to find a whole heap of dead bodies in Gurubashi arena. It was like a slaughterhouse. But there was nobody left alive around there... interesting.
There were only 3 teams battling last night on Tournament (including us), and we did hit our 50 games. There was one team that caned us - rogue, warlock and shaman - but to be fair, they were very good, their cc's were excellent on me and it meant that they hardly went down in health at all. There was one hunter shaman and warlock that we came up against, and we changed our strat a little and killed the hunter first. Shaman CC was a bit hard, because I was getting hit by pets and had to run around healing myself a lot, but I managed to get a few off, and tree form helped. The shaman left after the hunter died. There was one team with a DK and that was the first DK I can remember seeing on Tournament that whole time we were there. Interesting that it's not so popular. Usually that kind of team canes us.
I finally managed to check our stats on the realm and saw we finally got a ranking! Woot 714! I looked at our team composition and there are only 4 teams with our composition. 3 of them have a resto druid, the other one has a feral druid. I've listed the resto druid ones here.

Well, that at least sets a goal for us. There is no way we could get into the top 20! But if we were the topped ranked team of our composition that would be a great feeling for us! Oh, if you're in the top 1000 teams and play 100 games then you can get the Vanquisher title! However, I don't think we will be able to do that because Shab has to go away from 4-6 so we won't be able to get our games. And he has a talk to do. Damn! That would have been really exciting, since we are ranked now in the top 1000.
So tonight... I'm not sure what we're doing. But it sure as hell isn't heroic Dragon Soul.

The Washington and Lee University School of Law currently offers one dual degree program, a J.D./M.H.A program run jointly with Virginia Commonwealth University. Click here for a brochure about the program!
About the Program
Health care is critically important to both society and to the individual. Health care is American's largest industry, one of its most dynamic, and one of its most heavily regulated. Law permeates every aspect of health care's organization, delivery and financing, and Health Law is one of the most rapidly growing and exciting areas of legal practice.
The Juris Doctor and Master of Health Administration (JD/MHA) dual degree is designed for students who wish to combine a solid legal education with exemplary preparation for a career in healthcare management. Completion of this dual degree allows graduates to compete successfully for a wide range of professional opportunities where the worlds of law and health care intersect. Professionals with training in law and health administration can look forward to careers "in the trenches" addressing the issues that shape and reshape this important sector of the American economy and have a profound effect on the life of every citizen. The dual degree leads to a Juris Doctorate from Washington and Lee as well as a Master of Health Administration from Virginia Commonwealth University through an innovative and integrated curriculum that allows the student to complete in four and a half years two degrees that would take six years to obtain separately.
Scholars at W&L Law have long been engaged in the thoughtful and systematic examination of the close relationship betwen medicine and law. The Dual Degree program will be guided by Robert L. Willett Family Professor of Law Timothy Stoltzfus Jost. Professor Jost is a nationally recognized health law scholar and co-author of a widely used casebook, treatise and hornbook on health law and has written extensively on health care regulation and comparative health law and policy.
VCU's Department of Health Administration is one of the oldest providers of health administration education in the nation. For more than 50 years, the Department has maintained its mission of educating men and women to lead complex health care organizations. VCU is viewed by education and health care leaders as a program of choice in the field of health care administration. The curriculum is carefully planned and frequently updated to reflect the rapidly changing health care industry. All courses are designed with application to diverse health care settings and ownership types (not-for-profit and for-profit organizations). Learning methods include case study, lecture, group projects, community projects, and experiential learning. Visit VCU's website for details about the Master in Health Administration curriculum.
Students must be accepted into the JD/MHA program by both W&L Law and VCU; separate application to each institution is required. Students must take 70 credits at W&L Law, the entire first year curriculum, all second year required courses and the following elective:
Healthcare Law (3 credits)

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo softball team (8-6) dropped a 3-2 extra-inning decision to the No.21-ranked Armstrong Atlantic State University Pirates (11-2), Sunday afternoon from University Stadium on the third and final day of the Saint Leo Spring Invitational. The Lions finished the five game swing at 3-2.
Leaving 10 runners on base and having two runners cut down at the plate, the Lions fell just short of upsetting the No.21 Pirates as the visitors platted three runs across the course of the game to steal the win.
Armstrong broke through with a run in the second off a see-and-eye single down the left field line and added a second run in the third to take a 2-0 lead.
The advantage stood until the fifth inning when Brittany Yates blasted a two-run shot down the leftfield line to tie the game at two. The shot put Yates alone in second place on the career home run list.
The Lions nearly pulled the game out in regulation as Saint Leo started the seventh with back-to-back singles by Alex Garris and Yates. However, the runners were left stranded. The Pirates took advantage of the missed opportunity as they scored the game-winning run on an RBI double by AASU's Temple in the top of the eighth.
Megan Still was the tough-luck loser for the Lions as she went all eight innings, allowing seven hits and two earned runs in her best performance of the season. In addition, Still collected a season-high seven strikeouts.
The Lions will return to action on Friday, February 24, when they travel to Kissimmee, Fla. to take part in the ESPN Citrus Classic hosted by the ESPN Wide World of Sport. Saint Leo will begin the challenge by facing the No.3-ranked North Georgia Saints. First pitch is scheduled for 2:30 p.m.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/11/2012 (1732 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
If this were an easy game to call, it wouldn't be appropriate as the 100th Grey Cup.
As a Bombers fan or alumnus, the team to support at the Rogers Centre on Sunday is the Calgary Stampeders. There are eight players on the Stamps' roster that have spent time with the Blue Bombers, a number of whom would still be playing here if it were up to them. The ex-Bomber patriots include Stevie Baggs, Arjei Franklin, Dorian Smith, Romby Bryant, Kevin Glenn, Jabari Arthur, Obby Khan and Rene Paredes.
So while my heart, and most likely yours, will be with the Cowtown Cowboys Sunday evening, my mind tells me that Blue and Gold nostalgia will not be a deciding factor in this contest.
To start breaking down this matchup, let's begin with the reasons why the Argonauts could win.
While Kevin Glenn is playing inspired football and is most dangerous when he feels he has something to prove, he is up against the CFL's version of the Hollywood Top Gun pilot, Ice Man, i.e. Ricky Ray. He is so cool under pressure and nonchalant, many mistake his stoic persona for indifference, but he is anything but. He is a future Hall of Famer, an all-star, a former Grey Cup MVP, and he is hitting his stride within the Scott Milanovich- designed offence.
The best player in the CFL right now also happens to play for the Argos, and that is Chad Owens. He used to be a league-wide problem when he was only a special teams player in the CFL. Now he is also the most threatening and productive wide receiver in the game who just broke the all-time league record for yards from scrimmage. If he can hang onto the football -- which is more challenging for Owens than you might think -- he will effect the outcome of this game.
The Argos also have an unheralded running game to balance their passing attack.
While Chad Kackert has fewer than half the carries and yards of all-world Stampeder Jon Cornish, he does have the best yards-per-carry average of any tailback in the league with more than 30 carries.
The swing vote for me, however, when it came to deciding on who to bet on in this game, began with an examination of the two games the Argonauts and Stampeders played in the regular season, where Toronto won both contests by a combined score of 61-50.
While the pundits will tell you how hard it is to beat any team three times consecutively, this fact may be altered by the intimate knowledge Toronto has of Calgary.
Chris Jones, former defensive co-ordinator for the Stamps for four years, is now the defensive co-ordinator for the Argos. His familiarity with Stampeders personnel and offence may be part of the explanation why Toronto has been so effective at nullifying some key Stampeder weapons. In the two regular-season games they played this year, Cornish was limited to 39 and 43 yards rushing, while Glenn averaged only 232 yards in the air.
The reasons why the Stampeders could win the centennial Grey Cup are more basic, but just as critical. They are quite simply the hottest team in the CFL right now. They won their last six games in a row, they knocked off the defending Grey Cup champions at home, and are apparently up in arms because they can't find suitable hotel lodgings for their horse. Talk about a deadly combination of confidence and fury.
They have the most outstanding Canadian and MVP runner-up in their stable with Cornish, a defence led by former Bombers assistant coach Rick Campbell that is overachieving, and one pissed off quarterback at the helm.
Last, but certainly not least, for those of you that understand the merit of trench play in professional football, the Stamps have by far the best offensive line in the CFL. If they continue to monopolize the line of scrimmage, like they have the last six weeks, and don't force Glenn into a gunslinging duel with Ricky Ray, they could be the X factor in determining the outcome of this game.
Either way it goes, the stage is set for a competitive game worthy of 100-year credentials.

An 18-year-old mother who ran out of her home engulfed in flames died in a tragic accident, a coroner has found, despite the best efforts of a passing driver to save her.
Rachel Oye-Osei, of 86 Linkway in Raynes Park, had a history of mental health problems and appears to have been playing with a lighter and flammable hand sanitising gel while sitting on a mattress in her backyard when her coat caught on fire.
Westminster Coroner's Court heard today that after standing up, the university student then ran out of the building, leaving a trail of burnt clothing behind her.
Michael Crawley, of Carshalton, was driving along West Barnes Lane at about 12.45am on Sunday, December 29, to collect his daughter from an office Christmas party when he saw a person running very fast along the pavement in front of him who appeared to be emitting fire sparks before turning into a ball of orange flames.
He stopped the car, called an ambulance and attempted, with the help of another onlooker, to put out the flames with a blanket stored in the back of his car.
London Ambulance Service arrived at the scene at the junction with Burlington Road at 1.13am, but pronounced Rachel dead immediately afterwards.
She was in her first year studying Physical and Sport Education at St Mary's University, Twickenham, when the tragic accident happened.
She had a history of mental health problems, including anxiety and anger management issues and had been prescribed anti-depressants by her GP in September.
But she had stopped taking them soon afterwards and student counselling services who saw her on December 18 at her university assessed her to not be at risk of harming herself, as she repeatedly stated she would never leave her son.
Emma Taylor, Rachel's tutor at St Mary's University, said Rachel spoke very fondly of her son in class but said she felt disconnected from her family. Towards the end of term she fell absent from some of her lectures and said she might stop her studies to focus on her music.
She had previously told her GP she was suffering from anxiety about losing housing benefit, her relationship with her family and balancing her studies with bringing up her son.
Rachel's mum said Rachel, who moved out of her family home aged 17 and attended Ricards Lodge High School in Wimbledon, had started leaving Kai with her more and more frequently.
She did not spend Christmas with her family, which her mum said was not unusual, but she had grown concerned when Rachel didn't respond to a text inviting her to a celebration for her brother's birthday.
She called at Rachel's home on Saturday, 28 December and saw the lights were on but there was no movement inside and noone answered the door.
Just hours before her death, at midday on December 28, Rachel called police to New Malden where she told them she was distressed after trying unsuccessfully to get hold of her university tutors and she also complained of a leg pain.
Police took her to Kingston Hospital where she registered at reception but left before seeing a doctor.
Four hours later neighbours called police to reports of shouting coming from her flat.
When they arrived they found the front door open but noone was home.
A fire extinguisher lay on the lawn outside and there were items of burnt clothing in a wardrobe.
An officer returned to the flat at 8pm and Rachel admitted she had started a fire but the officer was satisfied she was not a risk to herself, and her child was with his grandmother.
Rachel told the officer she had started the fire because she was frustrated at not having heard back from her university tutors.
A post-mortem examination following her death found Rachel died of burns and smoke inhalation.
Coroner Dr Shirley Radcliffe said: "On the balance of probabilities this was a tragic accident. It could have been an experiment but there's nothing to suggest that this was a deliberate action that she did with the intention of ending her life."
Speaking after the verdict Rachel's brother Justin, 20, said: "She was very determined to make something of herself. She will be missed dearly by friends and family."
Rachel leaves behind her parents and 4-year-old son Kai, who is being cared for by Rachel's mother.
In a statement released by the family, they said: "Rachel's death was proved to be a tragic accident. It's still a shock to us.
"Rachel was very loved, will be deeply missed by her family, friends, associates and most of all her son.
"As a result from today, we can now put closure to the situation, move forward and look after her son as Rachel would have wanted."

At City Drawers, we carry yoga wear. Great, comfortable fabrics and silhouettes for a gentler workout. In addition, we carry a jean by the Montreal company Second Clothing Company. (no, they're not USED jeans!) Au contraire! In fact, the pair you wear will continue to feel new because they just don't wear-out like a regular jean. While you actually can do yoga poses in these (and the Dutchess has worn them to play field hockey), most customers just consider them their favorite jean. What makes them so fabulous? 98% cotton and 2% lycra stretch. But the twill weave is a little different in that it allows a diagonal stretch and the waistband is made of 6 pieces so it all fits and moves with you. They say the pattern pieces don't have any straight lines ~ just like you! Visit us in Belfast to try a move in a pair. Two size ranges: 24-34″ waist or Women's sizes 12-24. We don't carry many of the latter, but would welcome a need to expand our size offerings. Besides 'denim', Yoga Jeans come in colored denim, corduroy, and later this Summer: linen and chino style.
Check out their video – can you do this in your regular jeans???
PS: this is in NO way to be compared to a 'jegging' or 'pajama-jean' ……. ; )

Jon Gosselin's girlfriend seems classy
Seen here in photos taken from her Facebook page and passed around the Internet like the blunts she enjoys lighting, Hailey Glassman is apparently using her relationship with Jon Gosselin to get famous, according to Us Weekly:
Glassman — whose father performed Kate's 2006 tummy tuck — has tried out for MTV's Real World and Oxygen's Bad Girls Club.
"I think after realizing she had a connection to Jon through her father and that Jon and Kate's marriage was rocky, she saw an opportunity to get famous," one of Glassman's pals tells Us.
James Appleton, who describes himself as her "hookup friend," tells Us Glassman dropped him abruptly just before news of the pair broke.
"A couple days later a mutual friend was like, 'Oh hey, your girl Hailey is pretty famous. She's dating this older guy who has like eight kids,'" says Appleton, who met her during a 2007 spring break trip to Acapulco, Mexico.
Jesus. Could you imagine if this chick makes it on to Jon and Kate Plus 8 and puts that on her resume?
TV EXEC: Ms. Glassman, it says here you were on Jon and Kate Plus 8. Can you tell me about that experience?
HAILEY: I vomited on eight small Asian children then burnt their playhouse down smoking a J with some guy I banged outside Denny's.
TV EXEC: …. Welcome to the Real World.
HAILEY: Yay!
TV EXEC: Whee!
HAILEY: Do I still have to give you that BJ?
TV EXEC: Yes.
The End.

This Program Is Not Responding
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
hey this page is not respomding do you need to turn off your PC or Bring Me The Horizon
edit Causes And Effects
When programs fail to respond it is usually your fault, <insert name here>. I know what you're like; you open Notepad, Internet Explorer and MS Word all at the same time and try typing into the browser address bar before your homepage has even had chance to load up. Then you put your WoW graphics levels all up to 110% and start rapping into Voice Recorder just so you can watch the little green lines hop about. Well excuse me, but I'm not entirely sure if a computer can handle that much. The circuits are about as wide in diameter as a mouse's whisker and you're there trying to put an elephant-sized impulse through them. Would you make your dog play catch with a log on the main road?* No. Give the poor machine a chance.
When a program stops responding, it tends to freeze and you can't get out of it. You become unable to escape and this annoying window appears, telling you:
A German child with an anger management problem would react like this:
For the crappier computers, like yours <insert name here>, the system often requires a reboot and it's all your fault. Rebooting a computer is like zapping a dead man's heart with a crash-trolley. I don't expect you'd be very happy if your computer sent 6000 volts through your nervous system every time it gave you too much information so be a little more considerate next time.
*No dogs were harmed in the making of this article. After we'd tried the cats we didn't think it'd be a good idea...
Error Reports Blue Screens OK. So…error reports. Why? No, seriously though…why? What is their purpose, their use? No wait, you know what? They're so useless they don't deserve to have this section. Yeah, OK so this section is now called "Blue Screens". These are the big warning screens that blind you half to death, telling you your computer has crashed, in case you hadn't already realized. They offer suggestions on what to do next but all of the options (except for "Press Ctrl + Alt + Del" or "Hold down the Power Button until you euthanize your faithful Companion Cube more quickly than any Uncyclopedia member on record. Well done.") are always incomprehensible or impossible to carry out. Below is one variety your everyday Blue Screen:
You could, however, decide to spend your time not looking at a blue screen slowly sending you to a monstrous epileptic fit, thus then sending you to a slow blind death, but instead pulling out your stupid PC and throwing it out the window. If you don't have a window or just don't wanna break your precious
computer window, you could just buy a better one (computer not window) :D
edit Windows Task Manager
Supposedly your friend during such chaos, the Windows Task Manager is there to exterminate rogue programs who get their kicks out of eating your motherboard. Still, it's not all that useful really, is it <insert name here>? It pops up and you see that the evil Minesweeper is not responding (although I don't know how you managed to crash one of the simplest programs on your PC) and decide to click End Task, right? Then what happens? You just get another box that pops up reading:
And clicking End Now doesn't do the slightest hint of good. Plus, sometimes your Task Manager gets infected by the corpse of the dead Minesweeper:
edit So Are There Any Positives?
Yes! Although you can't escape the wrath of crashed programs, you can play with them. By clicking on the window of the crashed programs you can make intricate digital crop circles sometimes called Crash-Waves or Program-Waves (derivation from the wave shapes that can be formed). Our experts believe that although this will cause epileptic fits - it will be enjoyable until you start frothing at the mouth. Below is a demonstration:
But, no. Apart from the above, a non-responsive program just spells trouble. I suppose the best way to deal with them is to send 600 Error Reports to Microsoft just to piss off Mr Gates. Excluding this though, a crashed computer is really no fun. Unless you have a computer crashing fetish. In which case it is.

Even cookie cutter Mc Mansions and mobile homes have far more variability …

Comment on Chinese Buildings Uniformly Disturbing by The Kappa.:
Even cookie cutter Mc Mansions and mobile homes have far more variability then what I see in this housing project.
Both are probably also much nicer and safer to live in.
But then Chinese communist era architecture is generally very bland and unimaginative.
The Kappa. made other comments on this post:
- Chinese Buildings Uniformly Disturbing:
Incorrect the US bubble was over valued real estate vs a market glut.
- Chinese Buildings Uniformly Disturbing:
You get this crushing feeling of despair just from look at it.
- Chinese Buildings Uniformly Disturbing:
True it does and the China building bubble will burst one of these days and it'll be spectacular. Hopefully the people will still know how to make a living like they did two decades ago by farming and stuff for them selves when it happens and the land will still be arable.
- Chinese Buildings Uniformly Disturbing:
If it catches fire the best thing to do would be to evacuate and let it burn it's self out.
- Chinese Buildings Uniformly Disturbing:
It seems the Chinese are selling off their culture,environment,and future for some quick money today. This apartment complex will be a crime ridden cesspool 20 years from now if it doesn't burn or fall down first.

- PS4 Japan Sales = 320,000 "As Bad As The Vita!":
The hardware is mediocre except for the amount and speed of memory and they pushed to hard on useless social features so no one is impressed. I think the PS4 will still be mildly successful because everyone else screwed up worse but it likely will be much shorter lived then the PS1 PS2 and PS3.
- PS4 Japan Sales = 320,000 "As Bad As The Vita!":
@ Anon 03:45 I touched on the X86 thing they could have at least choose a good X86 architecture vs something so low end. Even an old Core 2 quad or quad core FX would beat it across the board when paired with a good graphics card. Heck some very fast clocked i3s duals probably are just as fast. From a hardware stand point they're not even trying.
- PS4 Japan Sales = 320,000 "As Bad As The Vita!":
Editing is broke The system should in theory be easy to crack then the PS3. But even PS2 emulation may be a difficult on the PS4 due to the use of 8 shit tier X86 cores vs four fast ones. The emulator would have to be fairly multithreaded like anything else on the console must be. There is Gaikai streaming but it's at best a half assed solution that would demand a fast connection and nearby servers to be useable plus the ridiculousness of paying for old games.
- PS4 Japan Sales = 320,000 "As Bad As The Vita!":
Most consoles don't need an internet connection to play single player games even Steam's off line mode is kinda crappy so you end up having to crack your steam games if you want to play them off line. BTW I covered to lack of backwards compatibility on the PS4. The fact they used 8 shit tier X86

As a city dweller, I immediately appreciated the size of the 2012 Toyota Prius C, delivered to the CNET garage in a bright orange color called Habanero. The Prius C is a small hatchback, a little over 13 feet long, with the "C" in the name meaning City.
Through the brighter shade of orange, I could just make out the car's nicely styled body, with a swept-back design toward the rear. The front has the standard Toyota Prius nose bump, complete with blue-tinted badge, marking the car as part of the Prius lineup. The biggest fault of the design is the colossal taillights, which dominate the rear quarters.
The Prius C follows the original Prius and last year's Prius V as part of a very canny strategy to expand the Prius brand. Toyota decided, correctly I think, that the main thing holding back Prius sales was that a midsize hatchback doesn't work for everyone. The Prius V is a solution for those needing a larger car, and the Prius C gives people wanting something smaller an option.
The Prius C is, of course, a hybrid. It uses basically the same hybrid system as the Prius, meaning a gas engine coupled with an electric motor. The system stores braking energy in a nickel metal hydride battery, using it to power the 45-kilowatt electric motor, which can drive the car by itself under low acceleration. The car's gas engine is a 1.5-liter four-cylinder, smaller than the 1.8-liter in the Prius. The combined output of the gas engine and electric motor in the Prius C is 99 horsepower.
Given its smaller size and engine, I would have expected the Prius C to get substantially better fuel economy than the Prius. But its EPA rating comes out to 53 mpg city and 46 mpg highway. Its bigger brother pulls in 51 mpg city and 48 mpg highway. Holding the Prius C back is a drag coefficient worse than that of the Prius.
But during my time with the car, the trip computer showed fuel economy consistently over 50 mpg in freeway driving. The realities of driving on a California freeway, with cruising speeds around 65 mph, differ from the EPA's highway test procedure. It seems the little Prius C is optimized for higher speeds. As a result, CNET's car turned in an average of 51.2 mpg after a week's worth of combined city and freeway driving.
There were no surprises in the driving character of the Prius C. Given its 99 horsepower, it did not exactly leap off the line, and took a while to get up to freeway cruising speeds. But it was fast enough to keep up with traffic and make quick lane changes, giving a short burst of speed to take advantage of an opening.
Toyota engineered a reasonably comfortable ride into the Prius C. I found it certainly reflected its price point, not completely insulating me from the outside world. But it was very good for its class. Helping the comfort level were very soft padded seats. At freeway speeds, the car held its ground well enough. Strong winds would likely throw it around some, but no more than other small cars.
The steering showed all the play of a typical American car. Whether in the city or on the freeway, I could jiggle it with little effect on the car's direction. That tuning makes for comfortable cruising, but lacks a sharp, responsive character. No matter, as the Prius C is no sports car. When I turned the wheel at low speeds, the whir of electric boost was obvious. The car also showed a good, tight turning radius, helpful in an urban environment.
Toyota includes both Eco and EV mode buttons, but I found little reason to use them. EV mode tries to maintain electric propulsion, but kicked in the gas engine as soon as I pushed the accelerator appreciably. Eco mode detunes acceleration, supposedly helping me achieve better fuel economy. But I found I could use the accelerator lightly enough on my own.
The Eco Score display contributed much more to any efficient driving on my part. I became obsessed with this little display, sitting to the right of the digital speedometer. Packed into its confines was information on the current battery level, average fuel economy, trip miles, and even the time, but the Eco Score had my full attention.
This 1 to 100 score is based on three data points: starting, cruising, and stopping. I soon found that mastering a good start was easy. Stopping well was difficult, partly due to traffic. The system does not like quick stops, of course, but also gave me low scores for applying the brakes too early, something I did frequently to take advantage of the regeneration.
I never mastered the Eco Score system's cruising metric. It was difficult to figure out what the system considered efficient cruising. In the city, traffic made steady cruising impossible, and the car did not seem to be aware of hills, which necessitated extra accelerator input. My best overall score was a 95, attained while driving a city block with only the start and stop metrics.
CNET's Prius C was in the Three trim, one short of the top, so it came well equipped with cabin electronics. Standard at this trim is a navigation system and Toyota's Entune app integration system, along with features such as a Bluetooth hands-free phone system and a USB port for the stereo.
I previously tested Entune in both the Prius V and the new Camry. In both of those vehicles, the various Entune apps required an undue amount of wait time. But Toyota must have refined Entune since I tested those cars, because it worked satisfyingly quickly in the Prius C. It pulled in gas prices at nearby stations and traffic data, which integrated nicely with the navigation system. Even Bing searches were quicker than I had previously seen.
To access the Entune apps, I had to have Entune running on my iPhone, and the iPhone plugged into the car's USB port. This port is placed relatively conveniently out in the open, on a shelf below the glove box. The head unit incorporates a 6.1-inch touch-screen LCD, which shows apps, navigation, audio, and phone screens. The problem with this LCD is its susceptibility to glare. In any sort of sunlight, it was unreadable.
Another gripe: two different warning screens popped up on the display before I could use Entune, one telling me the system would use my phone's data connection and another warning that I might get charged for overuse of data. For each screen, I had to hit an OK button. Despite using Entune, my phone was well within my monthly data cap.
Toyota could alleviate the glare problem a bit with a white background for the navigation system's maps. The gray looks nice enough, and I liked how street names popped up in labels, but it doesn't matter how it looks if I can't see it. Route guidance was very good with this system, as it showed useful turn graphics on the screen and the audible prompts included street names.
The hands-free phone system incorporated all the features I have come to expect from a good tech car. After pairing my phone, my contact list became available on the touch screen. I could also use voice commands to place calls by name. Toyota takes the features one step further with a text message function, but the iPhone doesn't support the protocol that would allow messages to appear on the screen.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/12/2012 (1700 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Dear Readers: Here's wishing you and your loved ones a joyful holiday! Please remember I am always here and I answer everyone's letters, including all those that don't fit in the column. Though most of us can handle problems in work and the outside world ourselves, problems of the heart are much more difficult. Sometimes you need someone with perspective to help. I enjoy being here for you and I wish you the best, as ever. Warmly, Miss Lonelyhearts
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: On Christmas Eve, which I always spend alone, I make a list of 10 top people I want to reach out to -- and I phone each one and chat for 10 minutes. Some are older relatives who might be lonely, some are longtime friends, some are people I used to know in other provinces. I look forward to Christmas Eve as a time when my heart is warmed over and over again by these wonderful voices from my life on Earth. On Dec. 25 I see my family for dinner. I just wanted to make this suggestion for people who might be alone on Dec. 24 like I am. I always laugh with delight when I hear the words "I'm making a list, checking it twice," because I am already composing my top 10 the week before and getting the phone numbers current. -- Making My List, Winnipeg
Dear Making My List: Sounds like a fun experience, but don't limit to it to a "top 10" if you have a few more you'd like to call. To make it even more fun for you and the recipients, I hope you play Christmas music in the background and have goodies and eggnog by the phone. There's nothing like tapping all the senses. If you have pictures of the friends, get them out. Want to see them "in person"? You wrote me online, so consider gifting yourself with a Skype download, so you can see each other on your computer when you visit next time. P.S. You'll need a microphone and a webcam, both inexpensive.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I like to go to church late on Christmas Eve with the bells ringing to sing carols and celebrate the true meaning of Christmas, but my husband refuses to go. I used to take the children, but now they are teenagers and refuse to go as well. He says, "I'll just stay home with the kids." That's a crock and he knows it. They go out with their friends. I feel lonely and embarrassed and angry at my husband because I go to church alone, without my spouse, and others are their with their husbands and wives. Some are even holding hands. He says it looks phoney if he just shows up on Christmas Eve, when he doesn't go the rest the year. I don't know what to do. Should I stop going? -- Alone at the Church, Winnipeg
Dear Alone: There are lots of people in your position, so consider making it a new activity where you go with a friend or relative who likes the beauty and the meaning of a Christmas Eve service or midnight mass, and the magic of the bells you enjoy so much. Since half the church members only show up for Christmas and Easter events these days, who's to know? Stop making it about your husband. This is your special thing. Should he try to argue about his not going (out of guilt), just tell him it's not about who's looking at him. People are too wrapped up in their own plans and activities and families to worry about his attendance. It's just an excuse anyway. He doesn't want to go, period. So go with people who will be fun.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I find the day before Christmas to be very discombobulating for me. I run around in circles, checking and rechecking lists, fearful I have missed getting a gift for somebody who will show up on Christmas Day with a gift for me. How do you handle that embarrassing situation? -- Insecure Gift Giver, North Kildonan
Dear Insecure: You say, "Thank you so much, that was so lovely and thoughtful," and give the person a big hug. Don't bring up the fact you don't have something for them. You just express your gratitude enthusiastically (instead of looking embarrassed) and get on with enjoying them at the dinner or party. Another alternative: Some people buy a few unisex gifts, wrap them, and keep them nearby in the next room or in the car or a bag, with a pen and gift tags. About 15 minutes later, they skip into a private space, write the tag, and return with the gift. Problem solved, no guilt, on with the show!

Emmeline 4 Re Unique Neck Tie Blouse
This great neck tie blouse is great! A bit low cut, but if you wear a cami under it, you can wear it to work or without a cami and wear it out on the town! Brown and white, it would look great with jeans or slacks.

Symptoms of a heart attack include:
Call 911 or other emergency services immediately if you think you are having a heart attack.
Nitroglycerin. If you typically use nitroglycerin to relieve angina, call 911 if one dose of nitroglycerin has not relieved your symptoms
within 5 minutes. Do not wait to call for help.
See a
picture of the
areas where you might have pain during a heart attack.
Unstable angina symptoms are similar to a heart attack.
Call 911 or other emergency services immediately if you think you are having a heart attack or unstable angina.
People who have unstable angina often describe
their symptoms as:
The symptoms of stable angina are different from those of
unstable angina. Stable angina occurs at predictable times with a specific
amount of exertion or activity and may continue without much change for years.
It is relieved by rest or nitrates (nitroglycerin) and usually lasts less than
5 minutes.
For men and women, the most common symptom is chest pain or pressure. But women are somewhat more likely than men to have other symptoms like shortness of breath, nausea, and back or jaw pain.
Women are more likely than men to delay seeking help for a possible heart attack. Women delay for many reasons, like not being sure it is a heart attack or not wanting to bother others. But it is better to be safe than sorry. If you have symptoms of a possible heart attack, call for help.
When you get to the hospital, do not be afraid to speak up for what you need. To get the tests and care you need, be sure your doctors know that you think you might be having a heart attack.
For more information, see Women and Coronary Artery Disease.
People who are having a heart attack
often describe their chest pain in various ways. The pain:
It is possible to have a "silent heart attack" without any symptoms, but
this is rare.
