Noticed you liked Lovely Bones, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here, as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it also contains a young female narrator struggling with a series of tragic circumstances. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Here's a link to a summary (and a sample chapter) in case you'd like to read more about the book before you commit:

Hello! I see that we both LOVE Sarah Mlynowski.
And you've read 3 of her Magic in Manhattan Books.
They're great aren't they? I love her books.
If you loved the first 3 Magic in Manhattan books; you'll love the 4th one.

ScarsShe walked to school Every dayA fake smile painted on her face, Anticipating memories and scars she can't and won't erase.Pale, deathly, skin and bones A body all her own,Was ridiculed, provoked--undone Until she was alone.They never felt remorse Towards the words they said to her. Like rusted knives, they cut too deep, Her self esteem, an endless blur.You're worthless. You're nothing. You were never really smart. Each word, a razor in her chest That ripped into her fragile heart. You're fat. You're hideous. Their words sliced in dissection. And soon she made herself believe it When she looked at her reflection The fading scars along her wrists Still remind her of the pain The endless days of tortured words The anger, hurt, and

LoveAt 10:03 PM,you were speeding past grey wildflowersand the dull lights of firefliesat the grave on the side of the highway.The rain showered down, andI had torn out page after pageof melodramatic ways to sayI love you and Good byeon a crumpled brown piece of paperin the dashboard.Your teary eyes on the windowreflected everything I regrettedabout how I grabbed and turnedthe wheel.I was the one who crashed and burned--for miles beyond the white and yellow lines,beside the fireflies that stillremind you of me every time you pass the grave.

HiddenLate at nightPretending to sleepShe lays very stillAnd quietly weeps.It's three in the morning,With tears in her eyes,She can't help but thinkHer whole life is a lie.Day after dayShe goes off to school.There isn't one personThat she can't fool.Everyone thinksShe's so full of pride,But nobody knowsWhat's hiding inside.She hides her emotionsBehind a big smile.She' can't show her pain'Cause that's not her style.As each day passesHer pain only grows,But she holds it inSo nobody knows.She can't let it out--That's just too hard.Only she knowsHow badly she's scarred.As the sun risesShe gets out of bedWith all of these thoughtsFilling her head.She gets in the showerTo veil her tearsShe turns on the waterSo no one can hear.She puts on her makeup.She puts on her clothes.She puts on her smileSo nobody knows...
Jack and JillJack and Jill,Went up a hill,And Jill said, "Please let's not.For down this hill,But just not here,Are monsters we should all fear."Jack just turned,He laughed and said,"Are you afraid I'll break my head?There's nothing there,Just plain old air,Maybe ants and grass.There's no monsters,Silly Jill,There's no monsters,At the bottom of the hill."And Jack ran,Up to the top,But the grass was wet,And poor naive Jack,Slipped,And slid,But he couldn't stop.Jill ran to the top of the hill,As he slid off the edge.He screamed "Jill!"He clawed at the hill,With great gusto,As he sild down,To his muddy grave below.The monster grabbed him,Tore him to shreds,Removing every limb.Little Jill sat,Terrified,Upon the sight so grim,She watched her lovely little friend,Get torn limb from limb.She sat upon the well's rock edge,She'd stepped back from the sight,She sat up,And down she fell,Into the well's depths,As black as Night.Jack didn't hear,The frightful splash,

Not good fly spray
posted 6 years ago
Bronco fly spray works like putting plain water on your horse. IT HAS NO EFFECT OF KEEPING THE FLIES OFF. Sure, it's cheap, but it's not good quality at all. I would never use this on my horses because it doesn't work.
Pros: Cheap
Cons: Doesn't work

Average product
posted 5 years ago
Works at first. Is easy to put on rag and wipe on face because it's not too stinky, so the horses don't mind as much. Sweats off easy and doesn't work very long even if horse isn't sweating
Pros: works at first! Not super smelly!
Cons: Sweats off, not long lasting even if not sweating

Bronco Fly Spray, Not the greatest
posted 6 years ago
I use this fly spray in spring and late fall, when the flies aren't too much of a problem. It's immediately effective, but wears off quickly. The horses don't really like the spray either.
Pros: Immediately effective
Cons: Wears off quickly

Not impressed
posted 5 years ago
I've tried just about every fly spray on the market. I wasn't overly impressed with this one. We have a terrible horse fly problem, at times, and this didn't deter them one bit.
Pros: Fairly economical
Cons: Doesn't repel horse flies very well, doesn't last long

Cheaper of the sprays
posted 5 years ago
I haven't found one spray I like the best. This brand is the cheaper one in price and works for a bit but you have to continue to reapply. It also comes in larger quantities.
Pros: cheap
Cons: have to reapply often

What is Blizzard supposed to do? They don't control YOUR computer, you do.
Microsoft wrote the bloody OS, and THEY can't secure it. WTF is Blizz gonna do?
Amanda says in the article that she does not use Add-Ons. I would love to find out where THIS keylogger comes from. Anytime you hear about someone getting hacked a lot of the blame is focused on the Add-Ons. Since we have a case here with someone who says they don't use any add-ons, we can't use that excuse.
One of the big culprits, I suspect, is online advertising. The advertising world is a murky one, with multiple partnerships, reselling agreements and add pools making it difficult to determine exactly where an ad came from. It would be easier for the bad guys to slip a compromised banner ad into the network and have it legitimately displayed on a website than to hack said website.

TEAMS: New York Mets, New York Yankees
Yesterday afternoon, it was announced by the AHRC New York City Foundation that New York Mets first baseman, Ike Davis — as well as New York Yankees pitcher C.C. Sabathia — will be honored at the 33rd Annual Thurman Munson Awards Dinner, at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York City on February 5th, 2013. Photo by Michael G. Baron Diana Munson, Thurman's widow, will attend her 33rd straight benefit, having been involved since its inception, raising nearly $12 million to assist children and adults who have intellectual and developmental disabilities. The AHRC New York City Foundation is a not-for-profit organization that supports programs enabling children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities to lead richer, more productive lives, including programs of AHRC New York City. AHRC New York City is one of the largest organizations of its kind, serving 15,000 children and adults who have intellectual and developmental disabilities, including autism, cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injuries and other disabilities. The Thurman Munson Awards are presented for success on the fields of play and philanthropic works off the field. Davis had the following to say about winning the award: "When I told my dad that I was being honored at the Thurman Munson Dinner he was thrilled. My dad and Thurman played together for two years and he always told me he was the fiercest competitor he ever played with during his career. My dad always told me that no one wanted to win more than Thurman Munson. I can't tell you how much I am looking forward to meeting his family." For tickets and information on the Munson Awards Dinner call 212-249-6188.

The Return to Capital in Ghana
AbstractWe show that the real return to capital in Ghana's informal sector is high. For farmers, we find annual returns ranging from 205-350% in the new technology of pineapple cultivation, and 30-50% in well-established food crop cultivation. We also examine the relative prices of durable goods of varying durability, and estimate a lower bound to the opportunity cost of capital of 60%.

Ebola Virus Disease Confirmed in a Traveler to Nigeria, Two U.S. Healthcare Workers in Liberia
July 28, 2014
Nigerian health authorities have confirmed a diagnosis of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in a patient who died on Friday in a hospital in Lagos, Nigeria, after traveling from Liberia on July 20, 2014. The report marks the first Ebola case in Nigeria linked to the current outbreak in the West African countries of Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia. Health authorities also reported this weekend that two U.S. citizens working in a hospital in Monrovia, Liberia, have confirmed Ebola virus infection. These recent cases, together with the continued increase in the number of Ebola cases in West Africa, underscore the potential for travel-associated spread of the disease and the risks of EVD to healthcare workers. While the possibility of infected persons entering the U.S. remains low, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advises that healthcare providers in the U.S. should consider EVD in the differential diagnosis of febrile illness, with compatible symptoms, in any person with recent (within 21 days) travel history in the affected countries and consider isolation of those patients meeting these criteria, pending diagnostic testing.
CDC is working with the World Health Organization (WHO), the ministries of health of Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, and other international organizations in response to an outbreak of EVD in West Africa, which was first reported in late March 2014. As of July 23, 2014, according to WHO, a total of 1,201 cases and 672 deaths (case fatality 55-60%) had been reported in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. This is the largest outbreak of EVD ever documented and the first recorded in West Africa.
EVD is characterized by sudden onset of fever and malaise, accompanied by other nonspecific signs and symptoms, such as myalgia, headache, vomiting, and diarrhea. Patients with severe forms of the disease may develop multi-organ dysfunction, including hepatic damage, renal failure, and central nervous system involvement, leading to shock and death.
In outbreak settings, Ebola virus is typically first spread to humans after contact with infected wildlife and is then spread person-to-person through direct contact with bodily fluids such as, but not limited to, blood, urine, sweat, semen, and breast milk. The incubation period is usually 8–10 days (rarely ranging from 2–21 days). Patients can transmit the virus while febrile and through later stages of disease, as well as postmortem, when persons contact the body during funeral preparations.
On July 25, the Nigerian Ministry of Health confirmed a diagnosis of EVD in a man who died in a hospital in the country's capital of Lagos (population ~21 million). The man had been in isolation in the hospital since arriving at the Lagos airport from Liberia, where he apparently contracted the infection. Health authorities are investigating whether passengers or crew on the plane or other persons who had contact with the ill traveler are at risk for infection.
In addition, health authorities have reported that two U.S. healthcare workers at ELWA hospital in Monrovia, Liberia, have confirmed Ebola virus infection. One of the healthcare workers, a physician who worked with Ebola patients in the hospital, is symptomatic and in isolation. The other healthcare worker,
a hygienist, developed fever but is showing no other signs of illness. The physician is an employee of Samaritan's Purse, a North Carolina-based aid organization that has provided extensive assistance in Liberia since the beginning of the current outbreak. The other healthcare worker works with Soudan Interior Mission (SIM) in Liberia and was helping the joint SIM/Samaritan's Purse team.
The recent cases in a traveler and in healthcare workers demonstrate the risk for spread of EVD in these populations. While no EVD cases have been reported in the United States, a human case, caused by a related virus, Marburg virus, occurred in Denver, Colorado in 2008. Successful implementation of standard precautions was sufficient to limit onward transmission. Other imported cases of viral hemorrhagic fever disease were also successfully managed through effective barrier methods, including a recent Lassa fever case in Minnesota.
EVD poses little risk to the U.S. general population at this time. However, U.S. healthcare workers are advised to be alert for signs and symptoms of EVD in patients with compatible illness who have a recent (within 21 days) travel history to countries where the outbreak is occurring, and should consider isolation of those patients meeting these criteria, pending diagnostic testing.

Guidance to US Clinicians Regarding New WHO Polio Vaccination Requirements for Travel by Residents of and Long-term Visitors to Countries with Active Polio Transmission
June 2, 2014
On 5 May 2014, the Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO) accepted the recommendations of an Emergency Committee, declaring the international spread of polio to be a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC) under the authority of the International Health Regulations (IHR) (2005) and issued vaccination requirements for travelers in order to prevent further spread of the disease. IHR is an international agreement among countries to prevent, protect or control the international spread of disease. All countries have agreed to be bound by recommended activities under IHR.
The "temporary recommendations" in response to this PHEIC, the second ever to be issued under IHR, will be reviewed and possibly revised by WHO's Emergency Committee in three months. The burden for enforcement of the polio vaccination requirements under this PHEIC declaration lies with polio-affected countries (termed "polio-infected" by WHO). At this time, the United States government is not expected to implement requirements for entry into the United States.
U.S. clinicians should be aware of possible new vaccination requirements for patients planning travel for greater than four weeks to countries with ongoing poliovirus transmission. The May 5 WHO statement names 10 such countries, three designated as "exporting wild poliovirus" (Cameroon, Pakistan and Syria [Syrian Arab Republic]) that should "ensure" recent (4 to 52 weeks before travel) polio boosters among all departing residents and long-term travelers (of more than 4 weeks), and an additional seven countries "infected with wild poliovirus" (Afghanistan, Equatorial Guinea, Ethiopia, Iraq, Israel, Somalia and Nigeria) that should "encourage" recent polio vaccination boosters among residents and long-term travelers.
At this time, CDC is not aware of what specific steps will be taken by these 10 countries to comply with the PHEIC declaration. U.S. citizens who plan to travel to any of the polio infected countries should have documentation of a polio booster in their yellow International Certificate of Vaccination in order to avoid delays in transit.
Currently 10 countries have active transmission of wild poliovirus (WPV) that could spread to other countries through international travel. From January through April 2014, months normally considered the low-transmission season for polio, the virus already has been carried to three countries: from Pakistan to Afghanistan, from Syria to Iraq, and from Cameroon to Equatorial Guinea. WHO considers this an "extraordinary event" and a public health risk to other countries. If the current spread of WPV continues, cases could multiply considerably as the high-transmission season has already begun. The consequences of further international spread are particularly acute today given that several countries with complex humanitarian emergencies or other major challenges are bordering the infected countries.
Because of the substantial progress of the polio eradication initiative in 2012–2013, and in order to harmonize CDC recommendations with WHO recommendations, CDC now recommends an adult inactivated poliovirus (IPV) booster dose for travelers to countries with active WPV circulation. Countries are considered to have active WPV circulation if they have ongoing endemic circulation, active polio outbreaks, or environmental evidence of active WPV circulation. Travelers working in health care settings, refugee camps, or other humanitarian aid settings in these countries may be at particular risk.
Domestic clinicians should provide the following information to their patients planning international travel to countries experiencing polio outbreaks/active transmission:
Travelers to polio-affected areas should receive polio vaccination or a booster polio vaccination prior to travel following the guidance at http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/yellowbook/2014/chapter-3-infectious-diseases-related-to-travel/poliomyelitis.
Travelers also may be impacted by new WHO Polio Vaccination Recommendations in countries with ongoing poliovirus transmission:
For travel to Pakistan, Cameroon, and Syria (countries exporting WPV)
These governments have been asked to ensure that all residents and long-term visitors (of more than 4 weeks) receive an additional dose of oral polio vaccine (OPV) or inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) between 4 weeks and 12 months prior to any international travel and have the dose documented.
Residents and long-term visitors who are currently in those countries who must travel with fewer than 4 weeks' notice and have not been vaccinated with OPV or IPV within the previous 4 weeks to 12 months receive a dose at least by the time of departure.
These measures should be maintained until at least 6 months have passed without new exportations with documentation that there is strong surveillance for the virus and that people are being vaccinated in all infected and high-risk areas; without such documentation, these measures should be maintained until at least 12 months have passed without new exportations.
At this time, CDC has not seen documentation from any of these three countries specifying how these new requirements will be implemented.
For travel to Afghanistan, Equatorial Guinea, Ethiopia, Iraq, Israel, Somalia, and Nigeria (In countries that currently have ongoing poliovirus transmission but have not exported WPV to another country in the past 6 months)
These governments are encouraged to ensure that residents and long-term visitors receive an additional dose of OPV or IPV 4 weeks to 12 months prior to each international journey; current residents of those countries undertaking travel with fewer than 4 weeks' notice who have not been vaccinated with a dose of OPV or IPV within the previous 4 weeks to 12 months should be encouraged to receive a dose by the time of departure and have the dose documented.
These measures should be maintained until at least 6 months have passed without the detection of WPV transmission in the country from any source.
At this time, CDC has not seen documentation from any of these seven countries specifying how these new requirements will be implemented.
Travelers should also be aware that in the event of new international spread from any one of these seven infected countries, that country would be asked to immediately implement the vaccination requirements for 'States currently exporting wild poliovirus.'
Travelers to or from all 10 countries should be given a WHO/IHR International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (http://www.who.int/ihr/ports_airports/icvp/en/) to record and serve as proof of their polio vaccination.
CDC routinely recommends that anyone planning travel to a polio-affected country be fully vaccinated against polio and that, in addition, adults should receive a one-time booster dose of polio vaccine. Because of the recent PHEIC declaration, anyone staying in any of the polio-affected countries for more than four (4) weeks may be required to have a polio booster shot within the 4 weeks to twelve months prior to departure from that country. This booster should be documented in the yellow International Certificate of Vaccination in order to avoid delays in transit or forced vaccination in country. Either oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) or inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) may be used for this booster, however only IPV is currently available in the United States.

Don't give up your legal rights. Your case may very well be winable!
Many people wrongly believe that a DUI or
DWI charge is not a serious crime. The truth of the matter is that more people go to jail for an alcohol related crime than for any
other crime! Recent statistics show that more than 1.5 million drivers are arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or
narcotics each year. With harsher laws being passed every year, judges are coming down harder on those convicted of these offenses.
In addition to jail sentences, you can lose your driver's license for long periods of time, even for the rest of your life. The cost for community service, probation, alcohol programs, re-education programs, driving schools, interlock devices and other court-ordered punishments can reach thousands of dollars! Insurance will either be canceled or the premium will be astronomical. An alcohol related driving conviction can affect you for the rest of your life!
If you or one of your friends or loved ones is facing an alcohol
related driving offense (DUI / DWI / OVI) you need a lawyer who knows your concerns and who will fight for your rights. Dennis P.
Levin, a Cleveland based, criminal defense attorney, is the founding member of the law firm and has extensive courtroom and trial
experience, having handled DUI / DWI / OVI and criminal cases throughout the United States. The Law Offices of Dennis P. Levin
advocate AGGRESSIVELY for its clients. We are not afraid of the courtroom and judges and prosecuting attorneys know and respect this
approach. We are dedicated to handling all areas of drunk driving cases.
We know that evidence in a DUI / DWI / OVI case is part scientific, part legal and part common sense. There are strict and stringent statutes and regulations with which the police and prosecutor must comply in order to attempt to find a defendant guilty of an alcohol related driving offense and, with a thorough knowledge of the law and procedures, we are able attack the State's case against our clients.
We work with our clients to understand exactly what occurred at the time of the arrest, before the arrest and after the arrest in order to develop our defense. We investigate the actions of the police; we fully review the manner and techniques used in giving any roadside sobriety tests and/or breathalyzer tests to determine whether to challenge their use at trial; we review all video tapes and audio tapes and visit the scene of the arrest when appropriate. Being well prepared helps us to protect YOUR rights!

JC Penney makeover still bloody painful
The retailer's struggles continue, and it must act fast to stop the hemorrhaging.
By Susan Aluise
"Genius is an infinite capacity for giving pains," Oscar Wilde wrote. That just about sums up how J.C. Penney (JCP) shareholders are starting to feel about CEO Ron Johnson's strategy to transform the struggling 110-year-old retailer by fusing competitors' merchandising and pricing strategies with the vibe of Apple's (AAPL) Genius Bar.
Just six months into Penney's extreme makeover, one thing is abundantly clear: Ron Johnson's experiment is not going well.
Last week's sudden departure of JCP president Michael Francis, the highly regarded former Target (TGT) executive charged with drawing up a new merchandising and pricing strategy to compete with Wal-Mart (WMT) and others, is just the latest tremor to shake the retailer since it unveiled its new strategy on Jan. 25.
In a tersely worded statement, the company said little more than that Johnson is assuming Francis' duties and will not seek a replacement.
However, Johnson was more candid about the changing of the JCP guard in an interview with Women's Wear Daily's David Moin: "The marketing I largely left" to Francis, Johnson told the fashion industry newspaper. "The fact that it hasn't resonated -- I had to get involved."
Francis' departure was the company's second high-profile executive exit in the past 70 days. CFO Michael Dastugue, a 21-year JCP veteran who had held the CFO job for only 15 months, left the company in mid-April.
So last month, it fell to his interim replacement, COO Mike Kramer, to help Johnson explain JCP's colossal first-quarter earnings miss. The company reported a $163 million loss, compared with a $64 million profit for the same quarter last year -- more than double the loss analysts had expected. The top line was ugly, too. The $3.2 billion revenue is 20% lower than last year's.
And it gets worse: Same-store sales during the quarter fell by nearly 19%. Its margins and store traffic also fell markedly.
After hitting a 52-week high of $43.13 two weeks after Johnson unveiled the new strategy, shares have hemorrhaged half their value. JCP currently is trading around $21.50, having dropped 4% since news of Francis' exit broke last Tuesday. Another pain for investors: JCP suspended its dividend.
Penney's performance was hardly what Johnson had in mind when he and Francis launched the extreme makeover at a posh party in Manhattan in January. That makeover included taking a page from Target's playbook by launching new budget collections from designers like Nanette Lepore (whose real brand graces the racks at Neiman Marcus) and featuring Martha Stewart's home collection.
Penney stores would also be revamped to look like the retail stores Johnson launched at Apple, including a variation on the tech retailer's Genius Bar concept.
But at the core of Johnson's transformation strategy was JCP's new three-pronged Fair and Square pricing scheme: everyday regular prices, "monthlong values" and "best prices" available on the first and third Fridays of every month. JCP customers traditionally have been attracted to the retailer's many sales and coupons. Johnson believes they need to be "weaned off" of those old habits and retrained to buy products at everyday prices.
JCP planned to pony up $80 million a month to advertise the new pricing scheme, the centerpiece of which were TV ads featuring comedian and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres. But many customers found the ads confusing, and the absence of sales and coupons were a good reason to shop elsewhere.
The company has since reintroduced the once-taboo word "sale" into its vocabulary, replacing "monthlong values."
Bottom line
Johnson remains committed to his strategy, attributing the early disappointments to a failure to "communicate pricing strategy to customers."
But here's the thing: Customers loved the sales and the coupons. Johnson admits they "were a drug" that drove traffic. But that hasn't dampened his determination to force JCP shoppers to give up their coupon addiction and go cold turkey.
Forcing change is an epic achievement, if you can accomplish it. The task is far easier if you've cornered the market on a hot tech toy like an iPod or iPad. Johnson had that advantage when he was in the fast and frenzied process of launching Apple Stores. He doesn't have that edge at Penney.
It's only logical that shareholders are getting more than a little antsy about Johnson, who was paid a whopping $53 million last year simply on the promise of turning the company around, as InvestorPlace editor Jeff Reeves discusses here.
Trying to make consumers "realize" that what they want to buy and how they want to buy it is wrong and is, at best, like herding cats. Shareholders will be better served if Penney's "genius" hits pause on his new mantra and replays that time-tested retail motto "the customer is always right."
But until that happens, I'd avoid JCP and all the pains that go with it.
As of this writing, Susan J. Aluise did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.
More from InvestorPlace
Maybe it's regional, but I was visiting family in Michigan, and the JC Penney there was awesome I wish I had more money to spend, but I got the most beautiful dress on sale for $19.00.and I have gotten so many compliments about it. Back here in Connecticut I go into JC Penney and can't find a damn thing.
The other thing is that JC Penney upped the interest on my credit card to twenty-seven percent, even though my credit score is over 700, so I paid it off and I refuse to charge on it again (and paid for the dress in cash).
Well the company I work for just signed on to Re-Vamp 8 JC Pennies in florida (we polish concrete) within the next four weeks so therefore they are still gun hoe and doing what they set out to do. I can also say the price and the childrens selections are wonderful and that we as American's should be patient all good things take time and hopefully we can help this American company get back to its peak. Rather then say "you'll never shop there again" try not to be so judgmental and wait to see what the finished product is. Funny how people can say how bad someone is doing at their job but if given the opportunity they wouldn't be able to do it better if at all. These people were not given over 50 million dollars in a year because of talk, they performed and were able to prove their skills. Wouldn't your house look messy if you were remodeling? As for the pricing and selection comments... again, trial and error - they aren't mind readers they have to try new things before they will know if they work. Meanwhile next time you go to JC Penny's take a look at their beautiful polished concrete floor... ECONOMICAL!
The last time I was in a Penney's, the store was dirty, a few articles of clothing were on the floor and the store was pretty much empty. Never again. The only reason I'd even go into a JCPenney's now would be to get to the parking lot in the back of the store where I like to park because there are fewer cars in those lots.
Dear Mr. Johnson,
I sincerely appreciate your new approach to Marketing. During the last ten or so years my wife felt compelled to utilize every one of JC Penny's sale coupons, flyers and promotions. She probably averaged over $4,000 per year on her Penny's charge card.
Your new Marketing approach is wonderful. Six months into this year and she has charged less than $200. What an amazing difference. Please stand your ground and maintain your Marketing plan. On behalf of all men married to JC Penny addicts we appreciate your efforts!
If the Customer is truly right and we enjoy our sales and coupons, we will hold out and not buy there.
I hope they have deep pockets while they attempt to "Retrain the public". That is the same public that was a good part of their customer base. My prediction: More loss of sales. Time will prove if I am correct or not. Lets look at the next quarter...
I knew from the beginning that this was going to bomb. As a guy, I really like the JC Penney brand of dress shirts, but I will only buy them if they are a buy one get one sale, or if there is another sale advertised. As a result, no shirts for me.
One other thing turns me off...why does JC Penney have to market toward a certain social position? Why can't companies be neutral when it comes to social issues like gay marriage? Their overt advertising during mother's day and father's day was unnecessary.

Updated through 9/18/14 - 9 games left for Cubs.
For failing to sign top overall pick Brady Aiken, the Houston Astros will get the 2nd pick in next year's draft on top of their regular pick. The teams with the 10 worst records have their first round pick protected if they signed a qualified free agent this offseason.

A few of you were unimpressed by my previous post by telling me that it should be expected that the top hitters in the game were also the top hitters versus the Cubs. A fair assessment...
So who were the most unexpected Cubs killers? In other words, who saved their best to drive some nails in the Cubs' coffins? Reader "big_lowitzki" did the research for us and provided me with the list.
I think Castro & Soler would be enough to get Miami listening, but I'm not positive it would be enough to get it done. Nor, do I think the Cubs are posturing to trade for Stanton. I think they are more in line to spend on starting pitching like you said.
No kidding!!!! That part blew my mind!
Wish I was a fly on the wall for the off the record part from Theo:
"He again emphasized there were no guarantees; young players can fizzle or get hurt. But then he grew excited, going off the record to name the Cubs' starting lineup of the future, speculating who will someday get M.V.P. votes and who will merely be All-Stars. He named some of the free agents he thought he would be able to sign, a 70 percent chance on this player, a 40 percent chance on another."
OR ..we keep Castro and Soler....and instead of spending a ton of $$ on Stanton, we spend the $$ on a #1 starter?
I would have a hard time trading Soler because I think very highly of him, but I think you are right with his contract and Cuban background I'm sure he is the guy they would want.
Would you do Castro and Soler for Stanton? That would probably get it done because Miami would love the Soler contract.
Agreed, Soler is pretty untouchable in my book too, but Stanton IS the kind of player we HOPE that Soler, Bryant, Baez, etc will become.
I would certainly trade for him, I am just not sure I would do so this offseason as there are still too many unknowns.
I've read half, and pick the rest up later, but it gives me a better appreciation for Tom Ricketts, so thanks for that. I've always wondered what it would be like for a Cubs fan to own the Cubs, and that part is very cool. I've always known he was supposed to be a fan, but the story did a nice job of backgrounding it. And his reasoning for dumping Hendry was so simple. Just start all over. Nice.
Not arguing that at all. I just wouldn't make the trade.
I'd be leery of any trade for a right fielder right now, even of his caliber, with Soler out there. Not only will he kill you in prospects, but the salary will be off the charts. Just not a need right now. I may not be singing that tune if Soler doesn't stay healthy, but Soler seems like as high a ceiling outfielder as I've seen come up through the system, pretty much ever.
Not saying I would make the trade either, but 24 MVP type players cost a lot.
Sure they do especially in the lower levels.
Not our starting shortstop, second baseman, and right fielder who looks like a beast, and is cheaper than Stanton.

Medical Billing VS Medical Coding: Is There A Difference?
The medical billing vs medical coding website clearly defines both roles and describes the differences and the similarities between the two professions.
Is there really a difference? Yes, there most definitely is a difference between the two roles and those differences are highlighted by the wages each role makes.
Why Should You Take What I Say About Medical Billing VS Medical Coding To Heart?
My name is Paul G. Hackett and I thank you for taking the time to visit today!
Listen… I could go on a self serving ego-trip right now but I really created this page specifically for your benefit!
If you really want to get to know me please click here.
Today, I am going to begin with medical billing vs medical coding because coding is a highly specialized part of the claims and billing process and that is why most employers expect their coders to be certified before considering them as a potential candidate for hire.
Here's The Process That Happens Everytime You Enter A Doctors Office:
Your doctor listens to your problem is,
They give you a brief physical exam,
They write in your chart = What he is writing is a formula called "S-O-A-P" which stands for Subjective-Objective-Assessment-Plan. He is actually converting what you say and plugging it into this formula along with his observations, conclusions, and any treatments they will prescribe to solve your problem.
Your patient chart is then given to a "Medical Coder". The coders job is to:
Read your chart,
Match up what was wrong with you with it's corresponding numerical code from the most current ICD-9 book,
Then they assign the proper diagnosis code with it's numerical code from the CPT 4 book.
Those two codes and any modifier codes that may need to be used to better describe your problem and its treatment are then placed onto a patient encounter form or superbill.
Your patient chart is then re-filed and you patient encounter form/superbill is given to a "Medical Biller or Medical Billing Specialist" as they are known as in the industry.
Don't allow the above description to lead you to believe that this is how it is done in every practice because many doctors will do the coding themselves directly onto an encounter form/superbill and give it directly to a medical billing specialist.
Medical Billing VS Medical Coding Continued
Once your patient encounter form/superbill is given to a medical billing specialist it is their job to:
Input that information into whatever form of software package that is used by the practice exactly as it is written. That information is recorded onto either a CMS 1500, UB-04, or ADA form.
The form used is then either electronically submitted directly to your insurance carrier, sent directly to an electronic clearinghouse and when neither of those function can be done the form is printed out and mailed to the appropriate insurance carrier (this is what is know in the biz as "Dropping A Claim or Paper Claim").
If there is no software at the site your claim will be hand written onto a CMS 1500, UB 04, or ADA form and mailed to the appropriate insurance company for processing.
A medical billing specialists responsibility does not stop there:
They have to follow-up on each and every claim to make sure that is paid. Sometime that can be a burden because they have to spend a lot of time on the phone with insurance carriers trying to get information about specific claims that come back rejected or denied.
They have to deal with patients throughout the day that have concerns about their bills (and let me tell you something, they're not calling because they're happy. Lol).
They have to deal with the accounts receivable process where the insurance company sends back the physicians payment and explanation of benefits (EOB's) for posting into there software.
They have to deal with verifying the status of your insurance coverage.
The biller has to create patient invoices for any money you may owe the practice for co-pays, co-insurances, and any non-covered services.
A medical billing specialist has to deal with denied claims and adjustments to a claim by filing appeals to the correct insurance carrier by getting the necessary paperwork needed to get the claim paid and resubmit them to the proper carrier.
They have to run reports for their employers and be able to explain any the discrepancies that are found and have a plan in place to correct the problems in a timely manner.
If there is no medical coder on site a biller should also make sure that the patient encounter forms/superbills that are being used are equipped with the correct CPT 4 codes and ICD-9 codes to avoid any coding errors on behalf of the physician.
They must actively participate in medical billing organizations or coding associations so that as changes are made throughout the year you can quickly advise their employers and correct any forms that may apply to their specialty (chiropractic, mental health, etc.).
As you can see a medical billers life can be hectic enough with only one physician that sees a fair amount of patients per month but imagine what it would be like if you bill for six different specialties. The funny thing is, to a biller who loves this business even more than the money the amount of work is never an inconvenience.
There may be additional functions that a doctor my ask their medical billing specialist to perform however, I covered the most prominent one's above.
Medical Billing VS Medical Coding; The Difference In Wages:
There are a bunch of factors that influence one's salary in both field and the following is biggest contributors:
1) Geographics (North, South, East, West and everything in between)
2) Employment location (city size, rural areas, etc),
3) Employer (hospital, nursing care facility, outpatient care facility, physician office, group practice facility, insurance company, lab or clinic, etc),
4) Your level and years of experience, and lastly
5) Whether you are certified or not.
Taking those contributors into account…
Medical billing specialists can earn anywhere from minimum wage to as much as $28K. It is important to mention here that there are no regulations in the USA that state a medical biller has to be certified but if you become certified as a CMBP (Certified Medical Billing Professional) or CMRS (Certified Medical Reimbursement Specialist) you will find you will earn more than the majority of your counterparts.
Medical coders who are certified can earn anywhere from $24K to as high as $36. If the coder is not certified they will still earn more than a medical biller but they will be earning well below other coders and their employers may request that they get certified within a certain amount of time from their date of hire.
If you start your own medical billing business/service what you earn is calculated differently. Why? Because you set the prices you charge a client so how much you make could be way more substantial than if you were just a billing employee but there are other factors. The following link will take you to a page where I talk more about the salaries of medical billers in the workforce and home based medical billing business owners so check it out if you're interested!
I enjoyed sharing with you today and I hope I was able to define the differences between medical billing vs medical coding in a way you can clearly understand.

Technical Report
Environment, Prehistory & Archaeology of Mount Rainier National Park, Washington
Appendix B:
A lithic assemblage inventory was applied to sites and isolates investigated during the 1995 reconnaissance project in order to quantitatively assess site diversity. We hope that the method represents an improvement over general descriptions, which often overlook subtle differences in assemblage characteristics. Although subjective aspects remain, the categories are intended to maximize replicability by adherence to fixed attribute definitions. There are, of course, nagging problems of biases introduced by depositional variation, ground visibility, small sample size and collection by artifact hunters. Nevertheless, we feel that the present inventory has proven to be a useful means to more clearly describe site characteristics and build a stronger inferential foundation for technological organization and site function.
The basic procedure for the Mount Rainier project involved flagging individual artifacts and then walking from flag to flag tallying artifact by type (defined below) within basic raw material categories. When deemed appropriate, comments on specific artifacts, assemblage character, visibility and other variables were noted.
All artifacts were classed within raw material types. These include various cryptocrystalline silicates (CCS), volcanic basalts, volcanic metasediment and obsidian. CCS material is subdivided into jasper (red and tan), various color phases of chert (opaque) and chalcedony (translucent). All raw material types except obsidian are available at primary sources on the mountain and alluvial gravels associated with the mountain's watershed system. Artifact definitions and discussion follow below.
Debitage is the waste material from manufacturing tools that shows no subsequent shaping or use as a tool. Debitage is subdivided into categories that represent general stages of manufacture. The description and rational for these categories are discussed below.
Cortical flake (CF)
Secondary, Interior flake (IF)
Tertiary Interior flake (TIF)
Biface flake (BF and BTF)
Retouch flake (RF)
Raw Material
The above debitage definitions are designed to categorize flakes rather quickly in the field while maintaining their integrity as representing basic stages of manufacture in a reduction sequence. Cortical Flakes (CF) are early-stage reduction flakes. These flakes are produced primarily during initial nodule reduction, including core shaping. Secondary, Interior Flakes (IF) are also early-stage reduction flakes produced during early core reduction and flake production using amorphous cores. They may also include flakes from early tool manufacture such as initial shaping of a uniface or biface. Tertiary Interior Flakes (TIF) are the result of late stage core reduction, usually of prepared cores (rather than amorphous cores), and, like IF, possibly early stage tool manufacture. In general, the higher the frequency of TIF flakes in an assemblage, the more emphasis on late stage reduction is represented. This can be the result of flake production from at least minimally prepared cores (cores with developed platforms) and mid-stage biface shaping. By contrast, high proportions of CF and IF flakes indicate earlier stages of reduction as a result of primary nodule reduction and initial core shaping and, to a lesser degree, initial tool shaping. We expect high frequencies of CF and IF flakes at procurement sites as compared to, for example, residential sites or butcher sites.
Biface flakes are produced during biface edging, shaping, and thinning (mid to late stage biface manufacture). They may also be produced from standardized biface cores. However, most identifiable biface flakes are the result of the later stages of biface shaping and thinning (mid to late stage). While biface flakes result from primarily percussion and early stage pressure biface shaping, retouch flakes are usually the result of biface finishing and tool maintenance. However, biface production can be highly variable. For example, arrow point production, in which pressure is applied to a flake blank during all stages of manufacture, will result in a relatively high frequency of retouch flakes as compared to a dart point in which percussion and pressure techniques are used in the shaping and thinning process. In addition to biface finishing, retouch flakes are produced during tool edge resharpening. In general, there should be a higher frequency of biface manufacture debitage at residential sites, while special task sites or short term hunting camps should have higher frequencies of retouch debitage from tool maintenance.
Cores were defined by shape and standardization. The morphological categories are as follows:
Polyhedral (amorphous)
Single platform
Standardized core
Expedient core
At the most general level, tools and preforms are classified as biface, flake tool, cobble tool, and ground stone. A biface is substantially flaked on two faces. A flake tool is either minimally shaped such as retouch along one margin (uniface) or a flake that shows use-wear (used flake-patterned microflaking and/or polish). Ground stone artifacts show abrasion smoothing and polish from use and/or manufacture. Ground stone typically includes milling stones for plant processing such as metates, mortars, hand stones (manos), and pestle-mauls. Cobble tools, on the other hand, exhibit flaking, crushing, and/or battering from shaping and use. Cobble tools include edge battered cobbles, choppers, other flaked slab tools and various hammerstones. The functional definitions of cobble tools and ground stone are conventional and therefore not specified here.
For this project, fine-grained flaked tools included primarily projectile points, miscellaneous bifaces, unifaces, and used flakes. For the sake of analysis replication, some of these are worth defining.
Projectile point
Used flake

MONDAY, July 25 (HealthDay News) -- As many kids with asthma get
ready to head back to school this fall, the American Lung
Association urged parents to prepare a detailed action plan to
manage their child's condition and help ease their transition back
to the classroom.
"While new clothes and backpacks are often thought of as back-to-school necessities, it is even more essential for parents of students with asthma to work with their healthcare providers and the school to develop a comprehensive action plan detailing the various elements of good asthma control in the school environment," Dr. Norman H. Edelman, chief medical officer of the American Lung Association (ALA), said in an ALA news release.
The ALA encouraged parents who have children with asthma to
complete the following checklist to keep their kids healthy during
the school year.
The ALA also strongly recommended that all children,
particularly those with asthma, get a seasonal flu shot every
"As part of your back-to-school preparation, make sure your child with asthma gets a flu shot," said Edelman. "Flu epidemics start and spread in schools, and the flu can lead to a serious asthma attack." He noted that getting a flu shot does not trigger an asthma attack.
Asthma affects 7 million children and teenagers in the United
States and accounts for more than 14 million missed school days
each year, according to the ALA.
