Congressman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin may be the VP candidate on the GOP ticket, but what especially interests a linguist like William Labov, author of the forthcoming Dialect Diversity in America: The Politics of Language Change, is the way the congressman pronounces a short "a" vowel.
The University of Virginia Press announces this week the launch of Rotunda's SAH Archipedia, an online resource developed in collaboration with the Society of Architectural Historians. A richly illustrated, peer-reviewed database, SAH Archipedia offers a comprehensive view of some of the most notable architecture in the United States. This new resource examines thousands of buildings in the context of their communities and landscapes, explores all the forces that shaped them—from the aesthetic to the historical, economic, and geographical—and presents them in a fully searchable XML-based environment.
In their first presidential debate, Barack Obama and Mitt Romney spent several minutes discussing K-12 education. They agreed on the need for a federal role, including at least some elements of Obama's Race to the Top program, but disagreed on whether to distribute federal funds to states or, as Romney proposed as a way to promote school choice, to individual students. Beyond brief references to the value of community colleges and the challenge of paying tuition, the candidates did not engage the issue of higher education.

TEAMS: Boston Red Sox, Toronto Blue Jays, Chicago Cubs
Photo: Mardo-Zayat/Pawtucket Red Sox Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here... highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. "It was good to get away and get a couple of months removed from everything and kind of look at it from a bigger picture perspective. I think that helps," he said. "If you're going to talk about last year you have to talk about the three years before that, as well. I'm not going to lie, it was a good motivating factor for the offseason. I never felt more motivated in the weight room, with the throwing, and everything. I think it was a really productive offseason. "It was a pile of things. I think it kind of compounded. I think that's the tough part, when you're throwing every day, playing catch every day, pitching in a game every two or three days, it doesn't matter where you are, Boston or Pawtucket, those problems seem to snowball and that's kind of what happened to me. Two or three months without picking up the baseball, and just kind of hitting the reset button as far as throwing mechanics and everything, it all kind of comes back to you. Whether you've had a good season or a bad season I think you kind of relearn how to throw and when you pick up a ball in December your body comes what's natural." WEEI: Daniel Bard talks about struggles of last season, optimism heading into '13 Daniel Bard has to feel good about the 2013 season, because it can't get any worse than the crap he threw out there in 2012. I saw it often in Pawtucket, and calling it ugly would be an understatement. Daniel Bard should be motivated more than he has ever been. His ridiculous decision to pursue a starting role was damaging to his career. He is still young and has plenty of room for a comeback to prove himself and maybe, someday get that payday he has been looking for. He could have had it sooner rather than later, and again, he screwed it all up. Daniel Bard still has the potential, and loads of it if he can forget about last season. Working with John Farrell will be great for his attempt to rebuild the 2011 Daniel Bard. We might not see it right away, but I have faith that we will see a better Daniel Bard in 2013. Related: Herald: Refreshed Daniel Bard looks to regain status On Page 2, Curt Schilling's HGH crap "There were a few people around and I was shocked," Schilling said Thursday. "After this person left, I turned to a teammate and said, 'Can you believe that?' It came out of nowhere." Schilling reported the incident to Theo Epstein, then the team's general manager. Epstein was required to inform Major League Baseball, and an investigation subsequently took place. "Our office was notified," said MLB vice president Pat Courtney. "We take any report like this seriously and there was an investigation." Courtney would not say what the results of that inquiry were because it was a personnel matter between a team and its employee. Schilling said the person no longer works for the Red Sox, something that two baseball sources confirmed. The team has made a number of changes in its medical staff in recent years, but none apparently was a direct result of the 2008 investigation. Schilling said "two or three" investigators from MLB came to Boston to speak to him. "I don't remember who they were," said Schilling. "I was trying to downplay the whole thing because I wasn't playing at the time and I didn't want to cause any problems in the clubhouse. Globe: Curt Schilling says Sox medical staffer suggested he use HGH in 2008 I really don't care much about this story. At some point in the past, someone in every single clubhouse in the majors has suggested use of PEDs to at least one player.I have no doubt that there was at least one player in that Red Sox clubhouse that used some sort of PED.

EHR documentation — what goes in and how it comes out — it's all in the ingredients.
In a bake-off between two cakes, the choice may be clear as to what you like (chocolate of course). The same has been true in the past when evaluating software or services, as everyone wants to be assured they selected the best-of-breed. Because of the makeup or construction, the EHR can be a mixture consisting of inputs, talents, proficiencies, and yes, even hardware and software sets. Choosing a true best-of-breed in this environment may require to step backward and understand exactly what needs to be accomplished. Armed with perspective and some defining objectives, it becomes clear that creating and utilizing a medical record should be an integrated process.
Technology in both hardware and software now allow services to combine skill sets and proficiencies together — the economics can be significant. By coupling documentation with coding, then blended with billing, and lastly with collections, you not only have synergy, you have complete functionality. It's the ultimate combination of breeds, the All American mute or All American EHR.
Much of the information that goes into the EHR has succumbed to the new technology that is immersed with automated systems. The business of medical transcription is struggling to exist with voice recognition software and EHR offers. While medical coding is moving towards automated coding capture software tools, it is usually based on the medical transcription or documentation and other patient related information available in EHR or Electronic Data Interchange Exchanges (EDI). In a new-age world of technological advances, is it wise to have healthcare documentation and coding combined and automated without human expertise, or is there still a need for the human specialties of reason and logic? Voice recognition software for transcription is specifically designed to capture English and medical terminologies from a variety of accents and dialects. Unfortunately, many healthcare records travel straight from this software into the EHR without passing the hands and eyes of a medical language specialist. The voice recognition software is not very reliable as a stand-alone tool because it cannot decipher and correctly document medical terminology that is questionable. Physicians who are using such voice recognition tools to finish their charts enter them hurriedly into the EHR — these tools often require slow and accurate dictation to be recognized by a human accent and to make sense out of it. They have to treat patient ailments and may not always be conscious of what is being dictated (or how fast they are going). Medical transcription is a specialty of language. While editing is a helpful tool in the field, it should never be relied upon as the sole contributor to documentation.
Medical coding is also a highly specialized position. Without the reasoning of the human being who possesses knowledge of procedure and diagnosis codes (as well as insurance regulations), it is far too easy for an automated system to incorrectly code what it picks up in a medical document. For example, if a document indicates a patient started to undergo chemotherapy according to a particular protocol, but therapy was stopped due to low blood counts or illness, the system will still likely generate a bill for the chemotherapy. This not only causes the insurance company trouble, but also adds additional difficulty to the patient's list of worries. Even in today's advanced healthcare industry, it is important to make sure the integrity of the medical records are not compromised through the reliance of automated technology. In order to ensure this, there must be human expertise involved as these records follow people throughout their entire lives. Since correcting existing errors in medical records can be an extremely difficult and tedious process, it is far safer to ensure quality documentation by employing specialists in both medical language and coding.
In a world saturated with technological advancements, the best way to manage the current demands without sacrificing the quality or the integrity of the medical record is to combine the workforces and expertise of Medical Transcription and Medical Coding specialties with voice recognition and coding tools.
Now we can look at the process and move away from individual decision-making regarding technology (as well as the burdens of making all pieces work as one). Seek a service that combines all of these elements and evaluate how to best implement this best of breed.
Today ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) are under pressure because of economy conditions and ever changing healthcare environment. Lower reimbursement by insurance companies and greater scrutiny by regulatory bodies are few of the many threats facing their business.
To overcome these challenges ASCs are trying to identify ways to continue provide high quality of care while compliance with CMS requirements and managing their operational costs. One of the most popular ways to do so is to adopt and implement Electronic Health Record (EHR) in their daily processes. There are many other reasons why EHR is a natural progression for ASCs.
1. Ensure Compliance. The increased documentation opportunities that EHRs offer means that medical records are more complete. They contain necessary information tailored to each ASC's needs. Templates can be designed to accurately document each type of patient encounter or procedure in order to ensure that required information is included for accurate billing and coding. Third-party payers, including government healthcare programs and commercial insurers, require the medical record document pertinent information to prove medical necessity for performed procedures. 2. Enhances Operation Room Efficiency. Ever have to wait in mid-procedure for lab results or a radiology report before proceeding with an important procedure. EHR brings logically arranged medical history and consultation reports to the operating suite. Entries can be made as events occur in the OR, making documentation a real time record of medically necessary services. 3. Improves Patient Safety. Instant access to pertinent information is essential for providing quality patient care. With EHR, medical records are available at the press of a button, anywhere in the clinic, in the office, or on mobile devices. No need to ruffle through papers to find the right lab report when the results are only a mouse click away. 4. Increase Physician and Staff Satisfaction. Documentation is the most burdensome part of delivering effective health care. EHRs allow for templated records and pre-written entries that can be tailored to each individual case. Documentation time is reduced so that physicians can do what they are trained to do: treat patients. 5. Boost Profitability. Back office operations depend on access to medical records to ensure correct coding. Most coding and billing is done electronically. Seamlessly integrate the flow of information from the surgical suite to the third-party payer. Reduce the time between when a record and completed and bills can be submitted. 6. Reduce Costs. Paper records take up valuable floor space. They are inefficient and often misfiled. How many times has a physician had to examine a patient without the paper record at hand? Eliminate the costs of supplies and storage space with an effective and efficient EHR system.
7. Easy to work with. Given a choice between paper records and EHR, nobody like paper records since it can be a challenge searching old paper records for audit and other compliance purposes and at the same time administratively putting together complete paper work is always hard for support staff.
8. Clinical Reporting and Quality Outcome Requirements. By design, an EHR is more thorough than a handwritten SOAP note. The format of a SOAP note is not abandoned, but an effectively useful EHR prompts providers to document to the highest degree of specificity. Beginning in 2014, ASCs that participate in the Ambulatory Surgical Center Quality Reporting (ASCQR) program will qualify for full annual update of their annual ASC payment rate. Accurate documentation will allow an ASC to take full advantage of the ASCQR program.
9. Increase Patient Satisfaction. Patient care improves when information is readily available to the health care team. Nurses, doctors, and ancillary staff can all review a patient's EHR at the same time from different locations. When a patient has a question for a medical assistant, she doesn't have to say she will have to check the paper record once the doctor has finished with it. She can check the EHR to answer the patient's question promptly. With a stack of paper records on his or her desk, who knows when this patient's record would make its way to the to-be-filed box and then to the shelf.
10. Mitigate Risk. In the event of a RAC audit or any question regarding questionable billing practices, a complete and integrated EHR is the best defense against charges of fraudulent intent. EHR eliminates the chance of lost or misplaced required supporting documentation. If records are requested, they can be quickly retrieved, copied and submitted to justify reasonable and necessary claims for reimbursement.
The world of medical documentation and medical coding is extensive and always changing. The change that has the medical field buzzing right now is the transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases – Version 10). Currently, health care facilities use ICD-9 for documentation and coding, but by October of 2014, every facility must abide by the new system. These new changes will increase the need for skilled medical transcription and medical coding. It also brings the expertise of these two jobs closer and will merge at some point in the future.
Why Will the Demand for Transcription and Coding increase?For healthcare employees already working as a medical transcriptionist or medical coder, they don't need to worry about these changes affecting their chances of employment. The truth is that the need for these highly skilled workers will actually increase with the implementation of ICD-10. One of the main reasons for the increase of work is that the new book of codes is a lot more specific than ICD-9. For instance, in ICD-9, the code for a burn on the left arm is the same code as a burn on the right arm. While this may not matter to the insurance company, it does matter to the treating physician, the patient and the transcription. There are not numerous new diseases in the latest manual, but it will have over 70,000 codes listed. They will convert to seven digits, instead of five (as seen in the past). The increase in codes and length of codes will help the medical coder be more specific.There is no substitute for an intelligent human mind — the fear that medical transcription will be obsolete after the new implementation date is unfounded. Both transcriptionists and coders will actually have to work harder and attend additional training to become compliant. The new system may be confusing and overwhelming to those who have worked on ICD-9 for years. As these older employees leave the workforce, fresh new recruits will be needed. Importance of Implementing Electronic Health Records (EHRs) From an ICD-10 ProspectiveIn order to be compliant with the new rules, healthcare facilities will find that having an efficient EHR (electronic health record) system in place will be a huge benefit. There are still thousands of private practices that have not made the switch to electronic medical records, but this will hurt them when they face compliance issues with the new coding regulations. By implementing an easy to use and efficient EHR, the transition to ICD-10 will be a lot smoother. If a facility currently does not use computers for maintaining records, they should consider doing this as soon as possible, to be ready for upcoming coding and documentation changes. The reason an EHR is so important is because it helps streamline the coding process. It is much easier to use a search function on a computer than trying to pore through hundreds of pages in a patient's chart to find information. To determine whether an injury was on the left or right side of the body, for example, the coder can simply search for this terminology within the patient's electronic record. To find this information in a paper chart wastes hours of valuable time. How Will the New System Help Medical Transcription?It may be true the new system will mean less hours of transcribing work, but it doesn't appear transcription will become obsolete. In fact, those that choose to stay in the field and learn ICD-10 coding will be rewarded with even more hours of transcribing work. Because ICD-10 demands greater detail, physicians will have to provide comprehensive information in their records. This translates into more words for the transcription, which equals greater pay. Also, the increased need for transcription with coding expertise will mean better rewarding opportunities.

Medical billing and EHR software systems are often designed to have overlapping features that improve the functionality and usability of the systems in order to make them a "one-stop-solution" for a practice's medical IT needs. As a result, medical billing software and EMRs end up being interchangeably used discounting the primary objectives of each of the systems.
Many EHR companies are going the whole way to provide doctors with a single, comprehensive solution that will help them achieve Meaningful Use by incorporating crucial features like clinical notes, patient information and history, medication/prescription/drug allergies, diagnosis/treatments/procedures, patient scheduling, appointment reminders, e-prescribing, electronically available results, scans and reports, patient education resources, clinical decision support as well as full-fledged medical billing programs.
Specialized medical billing software on the other hand, is particularly programmed to maintain and keep detailed records of tests, procedures, examinations, diagnoses and treatments conducted on patients. It combines this medical information with the patient's policy details to formulate a complete medical record that is used to generate bills.
The software electronically submits these bills to the patient as well as the health insurance company for payment. Before a bill can be submitted to the policy provider, it has to be coded based on Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) and International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9/ICD-10) protocols. Medical billing software systems are programmed to automatically assign these codes based on the patient's medical record. After reviewing the bill, the insurance company sends the appropriate payment (or notice of denial) notifying the patient and practitioner via an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) letter which is added to the patient's medical billing record by the software. In case of a dispute, rectification of bills with errors or missing information and follow up on claims, the software will update the patient's medical record and billing details with the revised information.
Medical billing and coding software is thus equipped to seamlessly and accurately handle all complex processes and correspondence involved in medical billing.
A typical base package of medical billing software would contain features that are restricted to medical billing and accounting functions like patient recordkeeping, claims processing, electronic claims submission, receivables management, patient billing and accounting integration. However, many software providers extend their scope to include features like practice management, scheduling and other administrative and clinical functions that are generally a part of EHR software systems.
Therefore, the difference between medical billing software and an EHR is that of core functionality. While medical billing software focuses on a practice's medical billing procedures and billing-related administrative and financial processes, features of an EHR are primarily concentrated on clinical functions, records and outcomes.
Medical billing software may serve clinical EHR functions in addition to electronic billing and coding for greater versatility. The same is true for EHR systems that incorporate specialized medical billing and coding program features to supplement their clinical applications.

|Objective scar assessment tools: a clinimetric appraisal.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21460665 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|BACKGROUND: : Scars may lead to an array of cosmetic, psychological, and functional problems. Different scar features can be distinguished (i.e., color, thickness, relief, pliability, and surface area) that are clinically relevant and contribute to the quality and judgment of a scar. Today, objective evaluation of these scar features is indispensable for practicing evidence-based medicine (e.g., to evaluate the outcome of clinical trials). In this review, an overview and update are given on the most relevant noninvasive objective measurement tools for scar evaluation.
METHODS: : A PubMed literature search was performed. Articles evaluating the clinimetric properties of noninvasive scar assessment tools were included. The selected objective measurement tools were then critically reviewed with respect to the clinimetric properties of reliability, validity, and feasibility.
RESULTS: : In total, 75 articles were selected and 23 different noninvasive measurement methods were evaluated.
CONCLUSION: : Based on the scar features color, thickness, relief, pliability, and surface area, the best measurement tools that are currently available were recommended.

Want to check out one hot mess of a football conference? Look no further than the ACC's Coastal Division. One of those teams will play in the ACC championship game on Dec. ?1 for the right to play in the Orange Bowl.
Duke, North Carolina and Miami are all 3-2 and tied for first. Virginia Tech is right behind them at 2-2 with one fewer game played -- even though the Hokies were left for dead after allowing 86 points in conference losses to North Carolina and Clemson this month.
Virginia Tech's one advantage? It already beat Duke and plays at Miami on Saturday. The Tar Heels might be playing the best of anyone with an explosive offense and five wins in their last six games, including wins over both Miami and Virginia Tech. Unfortunately, the one loss was 33-30 to Duke.
The surprising Blue Devils look like they're in good shape -- except they were crushed by then-No. 11 Florida State last weekend, face No. 10 Clemson this weekend and host Miami in the season finale. As good a story as it would be for Duke football to play for a title, the schedule does it no favors.

European Rugby Cup have confirmed the venues for this season's Heineken Cup semi-finals.
Stade de la Mosson in Montpellier will stage the opening last-four clash on Saturday, April 27, with the winner of this weekend's quarter-final between Clermont Auvergne and Montpellier playing host to the victor of the Harlequins v Munster clash.
The 32,000-capacity ground is the home of the city's Ligue 1 football club and this will mark the first time it has staged a Heineken Cup knockout match, although it was the venue for Montpellier's pool stage meeting with Leinster last season.
The second semi-final will be held at either Twickenham or the Aviva Stadium on Sunday, April 28. The venue will be determined by the winner of the Saracens v Ulster last-eight meeting, with the victors facing Toulon or Leicester.

TEAMS: Portland Trail Blazers, Los Angeles Clippers
LOS ANGELES -- This time, the Los Angeles Clippers finished what they started. One night after surrendering the final 10 points of the game in an excruciating loss to the Portland Trail Blazers, the Clippers reversed the result in a 96-83 victory over Portland at sold-out Staples Center. In the process, the Clippers halted a four-game losing streak despite playing without star guard Chris Paul. With Paul watching from the bench for the fourth consecutive game due to a right knee bruise, the Clippers put together a consistent 48-minute effort for the first time in more than a week behind All-Star forward Blake Griffin and a consistent attack. Just as important, they played effectively on defense throughout, and that's been an issue for them as they slumped in Paul's absence. Griffin, assuming more scoring and passing responsibility with Paul sidelined, scored 23 points, dished out nine assists and grabbed five rebounds in another well-rounded performance. This tim...

I have worked at many Vacation Bible Schools since I was a teenager and chaos can often reign.
You have 100 to 200 kids who are usually only there for one week, which makes it hard to get everyone into patterns. And it is usually run by volunteers who only meet once or twice beforehand to prepare.
But I think a strong administrative structure and some good memos can make the difference between a well-organized VBS and one where you feel like you're wrangling cats.
This is my first year teaching at our new church, and I have been impressed with their set up. I wanted to share a few ideas that I've seen work through the years. And I am hoping that you guys can offer up tips that have worked well at your VBS.
That first morning arrival is often a mess. The kids are all trying to get checked in and find their leaders.
A couple of thoughts on this:
1. Instead of a central check in that gets backed up, I really like the teachers making phone calls the week before. We told the parent our class color, class name, symbol and what snack they needed to bring. So when they showed up the first morning they headed straight into the hall and looked for their color and the sign with their mascot on it. Each teacher checked in her own kids. So no back up and they were ready to start the morning session in their group.
2. Color-coded T-shirts for teachers and kids help the entire day. The shirts help visually organize in the big session and if you find a kid wandering you know where he belongs by his shirt. Plain colored T-shirts can be found at Hobby Lobby and Michael's for $3 to $4. Only down side is you have to wash each night.
3. Name tags given to class teacher ahead of time – we have been given all the kids name tags ahead of time. I was advised to use curling ribbon instead of yarn (it tangles less) and was told to place them on hangers. (You know the kind that work on spaghetti strap dresses.)
4. We were given a countdown list of what to do two weeks before and one week before.
5. We were given a list of snacks that each kid will contribute to the group, such as boxes of Chex cereal or pretzels (to make Chex mix to share). They are supposed to bring in their snack contributions on the first day and then the kitchen team will have it all ready to distribute each day.
6. Don't deal with lunch. We are running for about 3 hours so they are giving the kids a snack and not dealing with lunch, which helps reduce the stuff you are keeping up with. They didn't advise them to bring towels but that always seemed like a good thing.
7. We had a three-day window to come in and decorate our classrooms and get the supplies we needed set up.
What things seemed to work well at your VBS – whether you taught or were just dropping off? What helped contain the chaos?

Don't attend church and don't do VBS, but regular summer day camps seem to run fairly smoothly for the most part. For this week's camp, we got a call over the weekend from the woman in charge of my child's group, including information about group color, what to bring, etc. This was in addition to emailed forms/documents and notifications as well as snail mailed ones. So they covered all the bases and everything went well at check-in yesterday.

My church is having VBS in the evening. More kids are able to attend then, and more parents are able to volunteer.
June 5th, 2012

Most of the churches near us do VBS at night. It's hard to find enough volunteers who don't work to run one. Ours runs from 6-8pm 4 nights. I guess for the parents who aren't helping, it's enough time to run to the grocery store or grab a bite to eat before returning to pick the kids up. Personally I think it's chaos and try to avoid our church during VBS. Since youth meets on Wednesday nights we typically schedule a "field trip" that night to avoid having both groups in church.

TWG…YES, ORGANIZATION IS THE KEY. Many teachers are quite experienced in this arena but some are too pooped to help out as soon as school gets out.
I went to VBS in Chicago over 40 years ago. It was a huge project with our church and we had hundreds of kids. Not many Moms worked, in our area, and they ran it. The church sent a bus out to pick up kids in neighborhoods. I am sure you could never do that now. They also had a Friday night outreach for children ages 8-12, during the school year. There were crafts games, snacks, singing and a Bible story. The kids only had to pay for the crafts…about $1-$3: pottery, leather tooling, cooper wiring projects, knitting, ceramics, macrame, tin tooling, and others I have forgotten. At least a hundred kids showed up as their parents could then go out to dinner. It was very organized and very successful.
My husband and I worked VBS in our church in Texas, 25 years ago. We looked forward to it each year. It was a night venue. I took charge of the outdoor games. We only had about 4 rotations of twenty or so kids, as our church was much smaller. Lasted a couple of hours.
I have worked VBS a total of two times living in metro Atlanta. I am type A and do not do well with,
"just wing it …no big deal!" It is very frustrating to me to roll with the punches and I do not like surprises. Thus, I do not work VBS. I no longer volunteer. I deal with hundreds of children all week long and like a game plan. I have also met children all over the country, who respond well to my interactive sessions. I cannot fly by the seat of my pants as it makes me crazy when I have 20 wiggly children in tow. Hats off to those who can!
I have donated shows to schools in the metro area, during the school year. I have a standing donation for Gwinnett County Public School Kindergartens: your very first school show is FREE. Many schools have taken me up on it!

VBS is almost always 9 – 12 on a summer weekday at our church. Thus my children don't attend. They started planning back in January for this year. No idea how they pull it off. Even when I saw all the work my put into back when I went (or taught in college) I found it all to be little more than organized chaos. Fun to be sure, but still chaotic.
One story our church loves to tell is how we got a beautiful mosic cross. It was back in the 60s and one of the ladies was asked if she would teach the teens (I think they were like 13 – 15 or something). She said, well what would I teach them, could we do a craft? To which the director replied "I don't care what you do with them as long as you keep them quiet." So she had her husband make these square boxes up. She taught them the Creation Story (Gen 1 & 2). Then they each got to make a mosiac based on what they liked about the story. It got to where they would not be done with the project at the end of VBS. The kids got their parents to let them stay late, packed a lunch and worked on it in the parking lot. Well the lady took all the finished projects home and thought what are we going to do with these now. She laid them on the floor of her living room and started moving them around. She realized they really did tell a story of the cross if she, she made 4-5 more boxes to work the story actually. The husband came home and she told him he was making a frame to make them all a cross.
The lady and her husband are now with Jesus. Many of those teens are now parents/grandparents. In fact, very few still attend regular services, the winds of life having blown them to other areas of the world.
However, every person who comes into the Narthex ponders that amazing cross. All the children look at it with awe.
So, however you handle VBS, just make sure you keep them quiet ;)

I loved VBS growing up. That was a week my parents sent us to our grandmother's and we got to spend time with our cousins. We were Catholic and this was at the United Methodist church but it was great. We didn't do anything special like what FCM describes (beautiful story!) but it was fun to be at the church singing and learning. I don't think anything was as organized as what Theresa is talking about but if we had that many kids that would have been great. It was a small country church.
Good luck Theresa.

Our church has decided that instead of doing one big VBS, they spread it out to neighborhoods with Backyard Bible Clubs. The church provides the teachers, craft helpers, and game helpers as well as all the materials. All the hosts need to do is provide a place and snacks. Not only is it not as hectic, we get alot more kids to come.
June 5th, 2012

Leading a class always seemed to be the easy part of our VBS. All you really had to do was keep track of the schedule, maybe teach a short lesson from the curriculum, and herd the kids around. No decorating, no supplies, very little planning. The other stations required a lot more work. Craft helpers were set up in one room and each class came to them — all supples in one place and only one room to clean up. Music time was set up in the sanctuary, rec time outside or in the big fellowship hall depending on weather (youth group usually ran those games for the younger kids), and snacks were either in a designated room or delivered to the classroom (usually only for toddlers) by snack staff. Then everybody back to the sanctuary for another lesson and songs, often led by the senior and associate pastors. It was all very efficient.

@irisheyes…my son went to Arizona, with the church youth group, when he was in HS. They did a similar week long VBS in a neighborhood, with no churches nearby. He had a great time! They stayed in a hotel and the kids had to pay for their own room, meals and airfare. Quite an experience for him. He was 14 or 15.

I worked VBS for four or five years, until our summer vacations started conflicting due to a yearly conference. I never had to organize one, but I always admired the organizational skills of those that did. I remember that what we DID hate were the "VBS Moms", looking for cheap child care — they seemed to have every single VBS in the area on their calendar, and went from one church to the other. One bragged about having 7 of them scheduled for a summer, "and saving so much on daycare costs!" One of them SWORE that their 3 year old was potty trained — he wasn't, and the first time he pooped his Pull-Ups (oops, there's a clue), we called the mom and told him to come pick him up. She literally said that it wasn't "convenient", and I had to tell her that it wasn't convenient for 100 kids and 22 adults to have to smell him for the next three hours, and that we'd go to her emergency number. "Oh, don't call my MIL — she'd give me hell!" Well — duh. The stupid woman sauntered in over an hour later, and I just gave her her money back and told her that we couldn't take him for the rest of the week because he wasn't potty-trained. She had the nerve to argue with me . . . and that was my last VBS!

My kids attend VBS at Due West United Methodist Church in West Cobb. Along with at least 400 other kids. OMG (no pun intended) the way that church can pull off VBS is nothing short of a miracle. It is the most organized process I have ever seen. Sorry, I can't give pointers on how they do it. It's the only time of the year I have a week without my kids so I don't stick around to see how they do it.
VBS is a big business now, too. We end up buying t-shirts, CD's hats etc.. all with the VBS theme of the year. The kids still listen to all the CDs from the past 5 yrs. We love our VBS music.
The number of volunteers makes a big difference.Last year my daughter attended a Baptist Church VBS that met at night. She went one day and came home complaining that the kids would not behave and the "teachers" wouldn't make them. It was kind of culture shock for her. She is used to the West Cobb "stay at home mom" kind of church with more volunteers than kids and this was a South Cobb "kids have been in day care all day and moms are all working and are too tired or busy to volunteer" kind of setting. She refused to go back. It was not the VBS she was used to. From her description, it was total chaos.

I am joining this one late, but I have a question:
How many churches charge for VBS? Mine never has, but I have heard of some that do. I live out in the smal town, distant suburbs of Atlanta. I just wondered which is more common where others are.
June 5th, 2012
11:43 pm
@April: In North Atlanta, most of the churches I know around here seem to charge between $25 and $50 per child, depending on early registration, member or non-member, etc. (One church caps theirs at $50 per family.)
June 6th, 2012
7:39 am
@DB…I read somewhere, last year, that Moms who sent their children to VBS all summer were complaining about the fact that the themes were so similar and their kids were tired of it by the end of the summer…REALLY?
Since I have never met a paid VBS teacher, I think NO ONE should complain about anything they do. That includes the fact that it could be unorganized. No skill level or long term training is required of the saints who volunteer to teach VBS and that is simply what happens. I simply cannot work in an atmosphere with no organization which is why I don't. Putting some people in a classroom for VBS would be like putting me on the trading floor of the stock market. YIKES!
@homeschooler…big business? Wow…that is new to me…I have not been to VBS in a long while but I have not heard anyone say this…I have no experience here. I do know neighbors who work VBS and fellow church members. Are you a member of Due West? I pass by there all the time on my way to programs.
Charging? We have never been members of a church that charges….unless you want the t-shirt. Considering some folks use it for child care, it may not be a bad idea. We have been members of 3 large churches in Gwinnett County 500-5000.
June 6th, 2012
9:02 am
@MJG..We are not members but a close friend of mine is and we do a lot there (Upwards sports, VBS etc..) We actually live about 30 minutes from there so have never committed to being members.
I've never heard of charging for VBS but can see that maybe they should charge a small fee. When I first took my son there when he was 6 I kept telling my husband. "They keep him and entertain him FOR FREE!! He said "DUH..it's VBS of course it's free". Then when I would see all the churches advertising their VBS I thought about the fact that people could just tote their kids around the county dropping them off each week at a different church. I can't imagine doing that (I wouldn't trust just any church with my kids) but I wondered if some people did. Now I know. I always feel guilty that I don't volunteer so I make sure to donate to the church and missions that VBS collects for.
The themes are similar because, like I said, VBS is big business. There are companies who sell the themes. Music, activities, play scripts, ideas for snacks etc.. The churches purchase these packages from these companies. You can even get on the company's web site weeks before VBS so the kids can learn the songs. Crazy huh? Another thing I didn't know before I was introduced to the new age VBS.
June 6th, 2012
9:49 am
@homeschooler, I misunderstood your comment about big business. I thought you meant it was big business for the churches themselves and that is why I was confused. Yes, there are vendors out there that produce the materials needed for VBS, just like there are vendors out there who produce the cookies, juice, sports equipment, toilet paper/paper towels, craft supplies etc. needed for the week. Seems creative to me for someone to be able to fill that niche. I also think some churches sell their materials to smaller churches, after they use it for a week, at a discount. This helps smaller churches who are on a tight budget. Kind of like getting clothes at a consignment sale?
At 52, I have learned that NOTHING is free. SOMEONE is paying for it…maybe not me.

One Summer when I was a kid I went to Vacation Bible School.
I asked many questions and the basic gist of the answers I got back was simply, "magic." Which ultimately lead to me asking them more questions.
They eventually got to the part where they discussed Adam and Eve and how they were the first humans and together they had two sons, which begged me to ask, "so basically, humanity endured because of incest?"
They asked me not to come back.

@Voice of Reason – I have always wondered about how we got from 2 people to our current world population. I stopped thinking about it because it kind of grossed me out thinking about what you asked. *shudder* I'm not surprised that they asked you not to return. We Christians can be hypocrites and close-minded sometimes….but works in progress (I hope).

For a well-organized VBS, put a teacher in charge. Seriously.
Went to a big she-bang at the Gwinnett performing arts place a few weeks ago. Granddaughter's ballet recital. It was chaos–horribly,horribly poorly planned. Teacher-daughter looked at me and we both said, "A teacher should be in charge of this!" in unison.
I haven't helped with a lot of VBS because of what MJG mentioned–I get enough of kids during the school year. My children have been a part of Methodist, Presbyterian, and Baptist ones. I am thankful for those who contribute this way.
Around here, they are always at night–that's weird to me. Lots of times kids just show up–no preregistering, so planning ahead unless you have a church that will turn them away is hard.
I have helped with the VBS for the Latino children in town. The first year there were over 100, and it got bigger after that! One problem was parents, especially Guatemalans, sending toddlers who were not ready to be away from mama. Usually an older sibling was along also to help, which was good since none of us helpers could speak Kanjobal. It was great to see the enthusiasm of all at these VBSs. I think this is important work, and commend those who undertake it!

The smaller VBS events always seem well organized and the large ones…I steer away from those. The only suggestion that I have is to have people that you trust to show up and do their (albeit volunteer) "jobs" every day. The problems arise when people don't come in.

Three years ago, I convinced my wife – who had worked VBS in previous years when available – to take the job as VBS coordinator. What followed was probably the smoothest VBS week ever. My wife was very hesitant at first, but after some nudging, I convinced her that her background (business degree + project management certification) as well as having worked VBS's in the past would make her ideal. She ended up recruiting her best friend to co-coordinate with her and the rest was pretty easy. By the second year they were doing it, they had volunteers – who had left in previous years because of the disorganization – asking where they could plug in and help out.
We moved earlier this year and just a month ago the pastor of our old church sent us a note – and asked if it were possible for my wife to come down and help out again.

Here some tips:
Have older person at the door the check in the kids every day and check out DON"T have a central check in
Have stations: music,art, worship, etc
Have each curriculum day in a large ziploc bag or box ready to go with supplies

Budgies & Vacations
So, youre looking forward to a couple of weeks in the sun. But what do you do with your favorite member of the family? No, not your child, your budgie.
As much as you hate to be separated from little Mr. Chirpy, you really shouldnt take him with you. Long trips in the car can be disastrous to a budgies health.
For starters, quick changes in temperature, and time spent sitting in the sun with no shade can make your budgie sick. And even if your budgies cage is securely strapped in, sharp braking and traveling round corners can send your budgie flying from his perch.
The end result: bye bye budgie.
Taking your budgie for a plane ride to another country is also possible, but not a good idea. Aside from any dangers to your budgies health, you better be prepared to fill out a lot of forms and possibly leave your budgie in quarantine for a while. Many countries dont allow parrot species to enter full stop.
Leaving Your Budgie At Home
Yes, that brings us to the better option, leaving your budgie at home. In an ideal world wed all have a helpful friend or neighbor, who is an expert on birds and has nothing better to do with their time.
If you do have a friend or neighbor who is willing to look after your budgie while youre gone, then it is best to leave them written instructions. Not everyone is as clued up as you on how to look after budgies. But with written instructions they will know exactly what to do. Also, you can leave them with encouraging words like, If I get back and my budgies dead, youre next.
When you dont know anybody willing to take in your budgie, then you have a couple of options. You can check out your local bird shelter or parrot sanctuary. Often they will be happy to let your bird board while youre gone. And you can be quite sure that your budgie will be well looked after.
You can also try putting an ad in your local classifieds or your local paper. You will probably get some replies from people happy to look after your bird while youre away.
In The End
Whoever you get to look after your bird, your budgie will probably get a little depressed from the change in routine and from missing his family. But having the right care and avoiding long, hazardous journeys will keep any damage to the minimum.
And anyway, youll back soon enough and your budgie will settle into his old routine, good as new. A couple of weeks apart from you wont kill your budgie, so have fun, get a tan and buy a nice souvenir for your bird sitter.

"That was black magic, and it was easy to use. Easy and fun. Like LEGO.""Bad" powers, the stuff that the Anti-Hero, Evil Sorceror or Wicked Witch uses, and the Evil Counterpart of White Magic. Probably called this because we tend to think of darkness as evil. If heroes use it, they're headed for a fall, or at least An Aesop. Black Magic has the tendency to corrupt more than just the actions it enables. The modern term is sometimes "dark" or "evil" rather than "black", presumably because the word "black" being used to mean "bad" has unfortunate racial connotations nowadays. There are three factors that determine whether a power is Black Magic or not.

NFL Rumors: Has Jake Long Played Last Game With Miami Dolphins After Torn Triceps Injury Could End Season?
Found December 03, 2012 on thepigskinreport.com:
PLAYERS: Jake Long, Jonathan Martin
TEAMS: Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots, Michigan Wolverines
TEAMS: Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots, Michigan Wolverines
The Miami Dolphins will get a preview of what life on the offensive line may look like going forward without Pro-Bowl left tackle, Jake Long, as the Dolphins fear he may have suffered a torn triceps injury that could end his 2012 season. Depending on the extent of the injury, how the Dolphins play over the final four games and how Jonathan Martin fills in, yesterday's 23-16 loss to the New England Patriots could very well have been Long's last game with Miami. Long is a free agent after this season. He is still expected to command a high salary, although his play has been down since toward the end of last season. Miami could opt to slap him with the franchise tag and try him out for one more season until they feel they have found a suitable replacement, or they could simply decide to part ways with their former No. 1 draft pick from the Michigan Wolverines. If Long did in fact tear his triceps in the home loss to the Patriots, his season with the Dolphins will certainly be over. It ...

Anyone looking at Skype may have a difficult time avoiding a troubling case of dot-com deja vu.
The Luxembourg-based company, which makes software that lets computer users make free phone calls over the Internet, sports many of the characteristics evident during the dot-com boom: minimal revenue, no profits and an unproven business model, but plenty of hype surrounding its efforts and lots of financial support.
Skype's notoriety and ability to attract money has much to do with the buzz over Voice over Internet Protocol technology, which lets voice traffic travel inexpensively over high-speed networks.
Skype has another component attractive to investors: two high-profile founders, Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis, who made their mark developing Kazaa, the peer-to-peer software that has drawn the wrath of the music industry by letting computer users share billions of free songs over the Internet.
It has become increasingly difficult to avoid Skype amid a steady stream of recent announcements about partnerships, new services and investments. Earlier this month, the company raised US$18.8-million from a group of investors that includes Draper Fisher Jurvetson. The money will be used to expand global operations and enhance its technology.
Make no mistake, Skype's technology is intriguing. Its software has been downloaded 9.5 million times since it became available last August.
The software features conference calling, instant messaging, personal ring tones and call history. Skype makes the bold claim its service is superior to traditional circuit switched networks.
Not surprisingly, there are many telecom analysts and executives who think Skype is more style than substance. They believe while Skype has capitalized on the interest in VoIP, its ability to become a viable player and a serious threat to phone carriers is far from assured.
Brian Van Steen, a principal with PointEast Research, said Skype will do well with early adopters but it will face a large challenge when carriers and cable companies launch their own VoIP services. "I don't see the mass market using [Skype]," he said.
Brad Fisher, general manager, consumer services development with Bell Canada, adds that Skype's technology is not innovative because computer users can already do Internet telephony using instant-messaging and chat software. While he concedes the Kazaa connection has driven Skype's popularity, Mr. Fisher said it is unclear how Skype will make money and how it will pay for the large investments to upgrade its service in the future.
"As customers are asked to pay for features, their expectations of quality will shift," he said. "No longer will outages due to downtime be acceptable because consumers have paid."
Skype is hoping to address its growth issues with the recent cash infusion. One of its first goals will be connecting the free service to traditional phone networks. This will see Skype buy large amounts of minutes from carriers and make them available to its users who subscribe to premium services.
Skype has heard all the arguments why it will not succeed. Their confidence, however, is ground in the belief that high-speed networks will change the telecom industry, and VoIP will join e-mail as a Web-based "killer app".
"It is a matter of shifting values," Mr. Zennstrom said in a recent interview. "Innovation creates technological evolution. It means you don't need costly circuit-switch and billing systems in place. We are building an alternative network called the Internet that you can use for any type of communication. "
Skype's business model is still a work in progress, although a free service will remain a key element. Mr. Zennstrom, Skype's chief executive, said the strategic priorities are making sure the software is easy to use and that the service is as good as traditional telephony services.
As more people use the software, he said, Skype will launch new features so it can be used with personal digital assistants, mobile phones and cordless phones. Most important, it will launch, fee-based services such as voice-mail.
After enraging the music industry with Kazaa, Mr. Zennstrom said he and Mr. Friis do not see themselves as telephony rebels. Instead, he said they are simply introducing disruptive technology that is less expensive and superior to current technology.
"To me, business is nothing more than that," he said. "At the end of the day, we are trying to make products great for consumers."
Despite its challenges, Skype has its believers. Jon Arnold, an analyst with Frost & Sullivan, said Skype may be successful because the service's quality and ease-of-use are top-notch. And with three million users, he said, Skype is building a large user base that could make it financially viable if it can launch premium services to lure consumers away from carriers.
The key, he said, will be migrating people from the free service to fee-based services such as voice mail and the ability to track missed calls.
"That is the logical thing where they say 'for $2 a month or $5 a month, we will add basic features you add on your regular phone'. It doesn't sound like a lot of money but if you have a few million people, it adds up."
Mr. Arnold said Skype has its skeptics because the service is still free and the VoIP market is moving slowly. What people should not ignore, he said, is Skype's users, which have been attracted with little marketing. "I am not saying [Skype] will be big tomorrow or a year from now, but you could look back five years from now and say 'this is the thing that spelled the end for the [regional Bell carriers]'," he said.

Skypes Rules! Well, Maybe Not…

RIDOT opens new Route 403 to highway traffic Motorists can expect construction zones until the end of 2008 Governor Donald L. Carcieri joined the Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) today in a ceremony on the North Kingstown/East Greenwich line to preview the new Route 403 Relocation Project. During the overnight hours tonight, the Department expects to open the new road to highway traffic. This will begin with a temporary closure of a portion of Route 4 South, followed by the opening of Exit 7B to the new Route 403 in time for the morning commute.
Although more construction remains on the highway and associated ramps, the event marked the realization of the vision of linking Route 4 to the Quonset Business Park with a dedicated limited access highway. The 3,000-acre Business Park is the largest of its kind in Rhode Island and is undergoing a fast paced and successful transformation from a military installation to a first class business park with multiple platforms for new and expanding businesses and high wage job growth. The Quonset Business Park is home to 168 companies employing 8,574 individuals. The mix includes office and R&D, light and general manufacturing, warehouse and distribution, marine construction, and importing.
This project to create a limited access highway serving the Business Park demonstrates Rhode Islands commitment to becoming a better place to do business, Governor Carcieri said. It is also a reminder that highways are expensive to build and maintain. I urge Rhode Island voters to approve Question #1 on the November ballot, for transportation funding. Not only will those funds support bridge and highway work in our state, but they will pay for repairs and new buses for the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority and assist the development of commuter rail service.
The $130 million project began in 2000, and included construction of a new interchange at Post Road as well as a new highway interchange at Route 4. The opening of the new Route 403 will ease congestion on local roads in North Kingstown while providing the Quonset Business Park the amenity of quick and direct highway access to Route 4, which leads to I-95 and points south.
The new highway complements the Parks other transportation infrastructure including port facilities, an airport and a freight rail line, which RIDOT augmented with the 2006 completion of the $225 million Freight Rail Improvement Project (FRIP).
The new Route 403 and the FRIP project afford the Quonset Business Park with transportation solutions that not only will help the Parks business to flourish, but help alleviate traffic on local roads and potentially limit truck traffic on Rhode Island highways through greater use of rail, RIDOT Director Michael P. Lewis said.
With the opening of the new Route 403 to highway traffic, motorists should be advised that ongoing construction will be taking place on the new road. This includes a construction zone where two main segments of the highway meet near School Street in North Kingstown. Motorists may experience delays at this location, especially during peak commuting times for Quonset businesses.
At the same time RIDOT opens the new Route 403 at Exit 7B, it will close the original off-ramp for Route 403 and Davisville Road at Exit 7A. This ramp and bridge structure will be demolished as part of the project. The alignment of the new Route 403 means that motorists heading west on the new highway will no longer have direct access to Frenchtown Road. Motorists leaving the Quonset Business Park need to exit at Post Road and use Route 1 North or the old Route 403 to reach Frenchtown Road.
Also tomorrow, RIDOT will open a new access road to two-way traffic from Davisville Road to Frenchtown Road. Later this year RIDOT expects to further enhance access to this part of North Kingstown and East Greenwich with the opening of a new off-ramp from Route 4 South to Frenchtown Road. Currently motorists seeking access from Route 4 to Frenchtown Road are directed to use Exit 6 (Route 2/South County Trail) as a temporary detour.
In the near future RIDOT expects to open two other ramps in conjunction with the Route 403 Relocation Project, both of which represent movements that were not part of the configuration of the original Route 403. These include a ramp from Route 4 North to Route 403 East and from Route 403 West to Route 4 South. These will provide motorists coming from or driving to points south the option of using an all-highway route to and from Quonset as opposed to Route 1 through Wickford further lessoning traffic on secondary roads.
All schedules are weather-dependent and subject to change. For more information on the Route 403 project and road openings and closings, visit RIDOTs website at www.dot.ri.gov. Motorists also may direct their questions to the Departments Customer Service office at 222-2450.

|How to Write a Cocoa Web Server

Why not NSStreams ?
2006-12-04 00:52:59 J�rgenSchweizer [View]
Apple's sample code is actually much more low level than ours. It uses the call back mechanism of the Core Foundation function CFSocketCreate to accept new connections. Only later is the call back converted to a method invocation and a pair of NSStreams is created from a native BSD socket using CFStreamCreatePairWithSocket. While the use of CFSocket and CFStream is more flexible, our emphasis has been on simplicity. In fact, I believe that the code discussed in this article shows the simplest way to implement a basic HTTP server on Mac OS X.
