Washington, DC—On October 14, 2016, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released its final rule implementing the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA),1 which was signed into law on April 16, 2015. The final rule marks the most significant reform to the US healthcare system since the enactment of the Affordable Care Act in 2010, providing Medicare incentives to reward quality and value—not volume—through the use of alternative payment models, such as accountable care organizations. At the 2016 Annual Meeting of the American College of Rheumatology (ACR), presenters discussed the implications of MACRA and what physicians and practice managers can do to ensure compliance with upcoming payment reforms.
"This legislation actually had bipartisan support, so unlike the Affordable Care Act, which has an uncertain fate at this point, I think MACRA is likely here to stay," said Jinoos Yazdany, MD, MPH, Associate Professor of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco, and Chair, ACR Research and Publication Subcommittee, during a session titled, "Implementing Quality Measurement in Your Practice: How and Why."2
According to Dr Yazdany, MACRA takes 3 existing programs for Quality Reporting (ie, The Physician Quality Reporting System, Value-Based Payment Modifier, and Medicare electronic health records incentive program) and streamlines them into the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS).3
MIPS is reliant on the reporting of performance measures by qualified clinical data registries to the CMS, and on the Rheumatology Informatics System for Effectiveness (RISE) registry, which was developed as a qualified clinical data registry by the ACR.3-5
In addition, there is a second payment track under MACRA; namely, advanced alternate payment models.1 However, there was a focus on MIPS at the session, because very few examples exist of rheumatology practices that are going to partake in alternate payment models, which are better suited for larger practices, Dr Yazdany explained.2
The final rule has set a deadline of March 31, 2018, to report data to CMS, regardless of the amount of data being reported. In this first year of the program, the bar to avoid a penalty of a negative 4% adjustment in payment in MIPS will be very low, requiring the reporting of at least 1 quality measure or improvement activity.4
"Just engaging in this program in some way will avoid the penalty, but this will get less lenient," Dr Yazdany cautioned.
During the same session, Alex Limanni, MD, a rheumatologist at Arthritis Centers of Texas, Dallas, discussed MIPS scores, which are based on a 100-point scale, and the outcome measures that govern them.2,3 The measures are categorized into 4 basic domains: quality improvement measures, advancing care information, clinical practice improvement activities, and quality resource use and utilization reporting.2,3
The focus of Dr Limanni's presentation were the latter 2 outcome measures. The clinical practice improvement activities will account for 15% of the MIPS score3; currently, there is a menu of >90 activities in categories including patient satisfaction, patient access to care, and telehealth use.2,3 The quality resource and utilization reporting will eventually constitute 10% of the MIPS score, but does not contribute to the score in the first year.
"To put in a plug for RISE, if you are using a QCDR [qualified clinical data registry], you are getting points at almost every end of the MIPS system, both the meaningful use and quality as well as these kinds of CPIA [clinical practice improvement activities] activities," Dr Limanni said.
An advantage to using RISE is the fact that it contains rheumatology-specific measures. For example, rheumatoid arthritis includes measures for disease activity, latent tuberculosis screening, functional status assessment, and the use of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs.5

Accusing President Donald Trump of using his foundation as to illegally funnel help to his campaign for President before the Iowa Caucus in 2016, the state of New York filed a lawsuit Thursday against Mr. Trump, his children, and the Trump Foundation, charging the group was used to illegally raise money for his bid for the White House.
"Mr. Trump's wrongful use of the Foundation to benefit his Campaign was willful and knowing," the lawsuit states.
The suit, by acting New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood, said the Trump Foundation acted as nothing "more than a checkbook for payments from Mr. Trump or his businesses to nonprofits, regardless of their purpose or legality."
"Despite his knowledge of the prohibition on political activity and on using the Foundation's assets for his own benefit, Mr. Trump nevertheless used the Foundation to intervene in the election to assist him," the lawsuit added, focusing on a fundraiser for veterans that the President held, as he boycotted a GOP debate in Des Moines, Iowa, in late January of 2016.
In a defiant response on Twitter, the President denied wrongdoing, and said the lawsuit was nothing but the culmination of long standing political attacks from New York Democrats.
As the President noted, the lawsuit was about much more than fundraising before the 2016 Iowa Caucus, as it goes through a series of financial transactions in the years before Mr. Trump became a candidate for President.
For example, the lawsuit raises questions about a $25,000 contribution made in September 2013 to the group, "And Justice for All," which had been set up to back the re-election bid of Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi.
"Private foundations such as the (Trump) Foundation are prohibited under the Code from making political contributions," the lawsuit states, adding that the Trump Foundation did not declare any political activity on its 2013 tax return.
"Instead, it listed a $25,000 contribution to a Kansas-based Section 501(c)(3) organization with a similar name, Justice for all," the lawsuit read. But the New York suit charges no such contribution was made.
Other payments made by the Trump Foundation which were targeted by this lawsuit went back as far as 2007 involving legal claims against Mr. Trump's Florida Mar-a-Lago retreat, and a suit against the Trump National Golf Club in 2012.
The Attorney General's office in New York said it had sent referrals to both the Internal Revenue Service and the Federal Election Commission in Washington, 'identifying possible violations of federal law for further investigation and legal action by those federal agencies.'

Dr. Geoff Hewings, chair of the Economics Department for the University of Illinois and director of its Regional Economics Applications Laboratory (REAL), was in East Peoria this week talking to the leaders in the real estate industry gathered at the Illinois Association of REALTORS® Public Policy Meetings about the state of the Illinois economy and the housing market forecast.
Hewings said Illinois leaders in state government needs a broader "pro economy" perspective instead of choosing sides between labor and business. According to Hewings, since the early 1990s Illinois' growth rate has fallen behind the United States and our neighboring states including Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa. The Illinois economy is closely tied to these states; when their economies improve so do ours since many of our exports and source of inputs come from these economies, according to Hewings.
In his presentation Dr. Hewings shared the slide below that shows for the state to recover in five years it will require 110,100 more jobs in Illinois per year. And while the unemployment rate in Illinois has been trending down in the last two months, the Illinois Department of Employment Security noted a loss of 9,400 jobs in December.
Significant job growth and a stronger economy hold the key for the housing market. Watch this video Q&A with Dr. Hewings to hear more about the forecast.

It is only fair to inform the trashy folks who drop their butts and bottles on Ussery Road that this is perilous action.
The Marlboro Man could be fined $465 plus eight hours of community service, or if he's affluent, he may choose the $542 fine with no community service.
And the Bud Lite and Diet Pepsi person could face the same fate if caught. What's worse, depending on the weight of litter dropped along the road, the trashy person may have to cough up a maximum of $1,050 in fines and risk having his or her vehicle seized.
It's the law.
The news media continues in its quest to make the presidential primaries a racist contest. Granted, a bunch of Americans voted for Sen. Barack Obama because they feel comfortable with someone of their own skin color.
Many years ago, all radios in black neighborhoods were tuned to Madison Square Garden where Joe Louis battled a white opponent for boxing world's championship.
Forgotten, was the support of white fans when Joe took on Max Schmelling, a white man, but also a German citizen. Seems it was a case in favor of an American over a foreigner.
INDIAN LAND - A Sun City Carolina Lakes resident is the first candidate to announce his intention to run for the S.C. House District 45 seat.
First-term incumbent Rep. Mick Mulvaney said recently that he would be running for the state Senate District 16 seat, rather than for a second term in the House.
Veteran state Sen. Greg Gregory, a Republican, is not running for re-election.
Bruce Miller, 65, said he's been fascinated by polictics since he was young.
INDIAN LAND - Indian Land's game effort fell short in a 59-54 home loss to Class A power Great Falls on Tuesday night.
Great Falls' five-point win gave the Red Devils a hoops sweep.
The IL girls dropped a 43-21 setback in the opener.
The Indian Land boys showed it came to play, taking an 11-8 lead in the first period. Great Falls came back to take a tough 22-17 lead at the half and was able to keep the upper hand despite the inspired Warriors' play.
We can imagine how exciting it was for Indian Land Middle School students when they moved into their own school earlier this month. Principal David McDonald said move-in day was like like Christmas for the students.
The new middle school in Indian Land is the old high school building. Its day as a high school ended last spring and Indian Land's bigger, better high school opened in the fall. The old high school under went extensive renovations to make it the new Indian Land Middle School.
County Council passed a resolution Monday night that will allow development to continue in an area inhabited by an endangered mussel.
Council passed the resolution, which was hotly debated at its Jan. 7 meeting, in a 6-1 vote, with Councilman Jack Estridge dissenting. The resolution allows water and sewer line construction and other development to continue in the Six Mile Creek basin in Indian Land, where the Carolina heelsplitter has been found.
INDIAN LAND - Some of the high-tech equipment is still in giant pieces of plastic and bubble wrap, but it won't be long before it's being used during surgery at Indian Land's newest medical facility.
Employees were slated to start moving more equipment into Springs Memorial Hospital's The Surgery Center at Edgewater last week, said the center's administrator, Rob Bashore.
It will likely be at least another three weeks before the first surgery is done, as the last few permits are obtained and approved.
INDIAN LAND - The Indian Land High School family is mourning the death of one of their own.
Derek Hammaker, a senior at the school, died Sunday night in a two-vehicle accident in York County.
Hammaker, 18, was driving east on S.C. 160 in a 1994 Honda sedan when he collided head-on about 10:45 p.m. with a 2007 Toyota Tacoma, said Lance Cpl. Josef Robinson of the S.C. Highway Patrol.
Hammaker was flown to Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, where he died from injuries he suffered in the crash.
Sunday's Super Bowl between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants will have football fans from Taxahaw to Bell Town and Coats Crossroads to Pleasant Valley glued to their television set for hours.
When you count all of the "must-see" commercials and a halftime show that pulls out all of the stops, it's more than a football game.
It's an event.
The offices of the Lancaster County Chamber of Commerce, including its affiliates - the Credit Bureau and Lancaster Collection Bureau - are moving.
After 33 years at its North Main Street location, the chamber's new address will be 453 Colonial Ave., about two blocks off Main Street in the building formerly occupied by attorney Don Rushing.

P.S. Actually, using WP as an offensive weapon against military targets is against the Chemical Weapons Convention and the Convention on Certain Chemical Weapons, not the Geneva Conventions per se - although the GC DO ban the use of incendiary weapons in civilian areas or against civilian targets.

The Episode starts with Alka telling Anushka that Devyaani also loves Rajat. Anushka is shocked and looks at Devyaani. Nikki asks Minty did she tell everything to Sareen. Minty says yes, he is happy. Nikki says come, lets take the proposal, Lord has given us chance by sending Rajat far, as he knows whom he loves. Minty asks are you sure this plan will work. Nikki says yes, it will work out. Sareen, Minty and Nikki come to meet Shastri ji. Rohan greets them. They sit and have a talk. Nikki is angry seeing the sisters. Sareen says he will have to give special serving to him, as they do for Rohan's family. Shastri ji asks what do you mean.
Sareen says he is his friend, but now they will have double relation, he asks him for his daughter's hand for Rajat. He is shocked. Devyaani prays.
Nikki says no, keep your thoughts to you, we have seen how Rajat was seeing Devyaani. Minty says yes. Alka pacifies Anushka. Sareen asks Shastri ji to think and say, if its yes, he will be happy, if its no, their friendship won't change. Shastri ji says where will I get a guy like Rajat, and Minty is like my daughter's mum, and I m ready for this. He says I will be strong being linked to you, but I want to talk to my daughters first. Sareen says you talk to them, if anyone says no, tell me, I will explain them.
He says such decisions should be made after thinking, we will have sweets later. They leave. Shastri ji asks Alka and everyone what they think about this. Alka says it's a good proposal, you know Sareen's family since long. Shastri ji asks Anu is she happy with this.

"The Vietnamese taught me many things: about patience, the value of forgiveness, the strength of community, and family" — David Lamb
Anyone who has traveled to Vietnam will mention three things that stood out most: the people, the scenery, and the food. This trip emphasizes all of these with sightseeing from the vantage point of the saddle. And in Vietnam, riding is the best excuse to eat!
During this private tour, we'll encounter the legacy of French rule in the elegant colonial architecture and hotels, study the ancient Chinese influence on customs and food as well as the profound effect of the American period on Vietnamese culture, for better or worse. Ancient traditions, foreign influences and dynamic society make Vietnam a fascinating destination.
Along the way we will observe the distinct personalities of Vietnam's provinces, spending quality time in the fertile Central Highlands, pristine coastal regions and the pastoral countryside where vast stretches of rice paddies meet a jungle foliage that is a hundred shades of green. In addition to stunning landscapes, bicycling will provide access to Vietnam's greatest treasure - its people. Their warm greetings and smiles come naturally and their optimism and enduring spirit are inspiring. The Vietnamese are happy to have visitors again, especially Americans, who are now a novelty, yet historically familiar.
Our route travels the length of Vietnam, from the stoic, socialistic capital of Vietnam, Hanoi, through the unique provinces on the way south to capitalist Saigon. The graceful, tree-lined boulevards of Hanoi recall the days when it was the French capital of Indochine, yet it is where a statue of Lenin makes its last stand. Freshly cooked meals and restful nights in charming colonial hotels will restore tired legs. Swimming, snorkeling, and exploration by foot round out our itinerary. The experience of a lifetime? Many of our past travelers have said so.

Logitech Bluetooth keyboard for the Ipad.Oct 31
The question is always, how much gear do we really need ? If I take a peek inside my geek back , i AM a little over packed. Macbook air, charger, mouse, external hard disk, iPod touch, ipad, cellphone and so on. Too much if you think of it. So I decided to scale down a little and see if I had some "alternatives' that I could think of to avoid having to lug half a data center on my back. If you put your mind to it, the IPAD is a very versatile device. ( Not only the Ipad of course, ANY tablet these days ) But as I mentioned in the beginning of the tablet revolution : Its a content consumption device. Or is it ? By now you can buy tons of cases that try to 'add' some extra functionality to your ipad. They come with built in keyboards and contraptions to angle your Ipad in a way that .. it looks like a laptop. But he Ipad is NOT a laptop, but you COULD use the occasional keyboard once in a while when you want to quickly enter text without using the onscreen keyboard. I've been round that bend and tried the ZAGGMATE, A keyboard-cover for the Ipad that keeps it snugly protected (believe me , I can vouch for that ) but also gives you an embedded keyboard. The downside about the ZAGGMATE is that its a ergonomic disaster. The sharp edges on the aluminum cover make your wrists look like you're a suicide hazard, the keys are so small that its unnatural to type, and since "the keyboard is the cover" you are not able to use your own favorite ipad housing (in my case my trusty Zoogue case) to protect your Ipad. So after I got my Ipad 2 , the Zaggmate got sold off and I started looking for something different.
Enter the Logitech Bluetooth keyboard for Ipads. Not the most revolutionary device. A fairly standard Bluetooth keyboard about the size of a standard small apple keyboard. It comes with a little 'box' that doubles as an ipad stand (very convenient) and allows you to prop up your ipad in portrait or landscape mode. The killer feature is however a simple ON and OFF button. Why ? Because the apple bleutooth keyboard I have lying around at home is just fine to use, but it doesn't come with a power switch. So every time you bump a key, the keyboard wakes up, the keyboard wakes up the ipad and both get a serious case of battery deprivation syndrome leaving you without juice when you need it.
At the end of the day the combo is pretty sweet. Ommwriter on my Ipad as the texteditor of choice, the hotspot function on my Android phone as a wireless router, the logitech keyboard as an input device and the little box to prop it all up. A valid laptop replacement for the stuff I need to do AND a much more 'distraction free' setup then using a laptop. In the end I don't NEED that much on the road and the fact that the Ipad is NOT the distraction packed desktop interface I have on the laptop does make it more pleasant to write. With the Logitech keyboard I have an input device that " feels right" to type on. Sure its not the 'lightest' keyboard on the market, but it feels sturdy and turns my Ipad into a "working setup" when I need it.
At 59 euro's the Logitech keyboard is not the cheapest one on the market, but when i'm honest , i have NEVER EVER had to 'throw away' a Logitech keyboard (The oldest I have in service is almost 10 years old) Final thoughts ? A little big , A little heavy but perfect for the job at hand.

KWTV LIVE : CANCELLED (i'm sick)Oct 21
Hey Guyz and girls : I'm sick. 🙁
One thing a podcaster needs … is his voice .. and today … I got up and mine was not really there. I seem to have picked up a nice little cold and am sniffling and coughing all over the place. So a 4 hour marathon podcast is gonna sound more like a train wreck then what you are used to hear from me. So i'm skipping this months live episode of KWTV and will be rescheduling the show for the near future (Probably still this month). I'm really sorry if you dropped by for some KWTV goodness , but today the germs are against us. Hope you won't mind. I will be giving you a treat this weekend with an episode of KWTV about Linux mint. And we will be covering the F.A.C.T.S convention on sunday. Once again : A million pardons.
Ps : Somebody come sing me "Soft Kitty Warm Kitty"

Sliders resort to running OSX in a VM.Oct 09
In the life of a cross platform slider, there is one major downside : We have a choice. A choice to pick up any computer in the house and do 'our thing' on a variety of operating systems. If I glance over our "laptop drawer" that houses a variety of mobile computers for various uses, I can pick and choose from a range of different laptops running a range of different operating systems. OSX, Stock Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Joly Os … Its like a little kernel parade. Sometimes this makes me feel like a woman. Not knowing what shoes to pick and pondering what pair goes well with what purse. Its kind of the same thing. My Laptops, ranging from an 7-inch EEEpc to a massive 15.4 inch Macbook Pro each sport specific characteristics for specific tasks. In true "slider-topia" I SHOULD be able to pick up any laptop for ANY specific purpuse, not wondering about the software or operating installed. In true Kilroy 2.0 fashion I should be "free" of constrictions like OS, Software or even hardware to preform my task ? No ? Well, almost. In my weekly routine of producing and uploading a podcast to the cloud I do intend to "bump in" to some proprietary programs. Some are by choice of preference. I like using Garageband over anything else I have lying around to produce and punch out the podcast. Prefer Imovie to ANYTHING Linux or Windows has to offer when it comes to Screencast production .. but for other applications, that "choice" is based on "needing to" rather then "wanting to". Take the very simple program "podcastmaker". This brilliant little app lets me edit my rss feed. Add shows, description, album art, link to the file and HOP the RSS feed is updated on my server. A timesaving little piece of candy i've been using for years. But there is one flaw. Its OSX only and i'm unable to "copy" its settings and preferences to my dropbox folder to make it 'machine independent'. So everytime I need to use it , i NEED to use THAT specific os and THAT specific machine. And as a true slider, I can't stand that !
So what is the solution ? How do we free ourselves from these phisical "tie ins" to OS, App and Machine ? How can we make sure our "cross platform sliding lifestyle" is not affected by the need to use a specific machine ? The answer is simple : Virtualisation. Many times before I have "virtualised" certain machines to set them free from phisical ties. Helping friends move from Windows to Apple products was a breeze thanx to the fact that I could 'virtualise' that old legacy clunker witht that old accounting program and grant it eternal life in a Virtual Machine on their mac.
But in this case, the answer is not that obvious … or is it ? Virtualising Windows and Linux distributions is a breeze and you can run them on any os (even on a Mac) Virtualbox gives us an easy and cheap way to do just that. But in this case I would have to "virtualise" an OSX environment and THAT is something the late Steve was not very fond of. One of my cross-platform strategies is to virtualise instances of Windows and Linux and run them on our central server in the house. With the great little app called "teamviewer" i'm able to acces them from any device (using the teamviewer client) on ANY OS and from ANY location. Muscle and CPU power is provided by our I5 server and its a sliders dream. But virtualising OSX is a bit more complicated.
First of all OSX is designed to run on Apple hardware only. Thus "popping it into a PC" and booting is not realy an option, or is it ? Google the world "Hackintosh" and you will be thrown into a new universe of handy "hackers" who are able to run OSX on their (non mac) machines. But running OSX on the "bare metal" of your system is not an easy task. Some of those hackers have managed to pump out "preconfigured recompilations" of OSX that you can just "slide" into your PC and hope for the best. But with the wonders of Virtual Machines we don"t even need to worry about drivers, hardware and the like.
So I gave the pre-installed "IATKOS" distribution a try. A repackaged version of LION that should run on many PC's (and surely in a VM) Now, before you proceed, let me warn you : Iatkos is illegal in 2 ways : 1 it is in violation of Apple's EULA that states you can only run OSX on a MAC. 2 : It comes PRELOADED with a version of OSX Lion. For me : I've bought and installed Lion on three machines in the house and still have an 'option' to install it on a fourth. So I don't feel like i'm violating copyright here. But this manual is not about ethics or legalities : You do what you see fit but we don't encourage or condown these kind of actions.
Half an hour (and some googling and tinkering later) the 'Finder' on my Mac reported a new OSX machine on my network that phisically did not exist. Configuring the new 'virtual mac' for screen sharing, Itunes sharing and more brought the whole thing to life even more. The addition of teamviewer to the VM made it accesable from anywhere and pretty soon I had installed that pesky 'local loving' application podcastmaker. Now my workflow is a lot easier. I can now edit the RSS feed from any machine and even from any location using my "central mac" that doesn't exist.
What could be next ? Well , with IOS5 coming out we will be able to 'sync' our Ipads over the air with Itunes. So wouldn't it be great to have that very Itunes directory running inside that VM ? Using remote desktop I could configure which tracks I wanted to sync and Hoopla .. here we go. No more need to fire up a specific mac to do it. Just access the always running OSX Vm on my always-on server.
I'm not going to hold your hands on this one if you want to wander down the pirate road but if I say you google "iatkos" and use "virtualbox" you will be able to put two and two together and virtualise your very own OSX in no time.

When twelve-year-old girls are tweeting about their breasts not being "large" enough, you know we have a problem. Girls: your breasts are just starting to grow! Even if you don't grow a big cup by the age of twenty, you are okay. I promise.
I was thinking one day how brutal society can be towards women with small breasts. It has contributed to this major body image issue we have among young girls in America. We have more media making women feel insecure about their bodies and pushing them to the limits than we have positive empowering ones. Our society tries hard at making us believe our relatively microscopic mammary glands are abnormal, and it is up to us to believe it. We must ignore all that pressure, all that garbage talk.
This blog was created with small girls in mind. It is an addition to the healthy chain of women empowerment media that already exists.
I'm a small-chested gal myself and I, too, have struggled with insecurities in my life. I know how it feels, and I know how to overcome it. There are a lot of things you realize as you grow older — such as, boobs don't define you! Self-esteem is key to a happier life and a stronger self, so I'm going to go ahead and spread some of that all around here. 😉
W E L C O M E ! to everyone who supports the empowerment of women. Feel free to join the conversation.
You are imperfect, permanently and inevitably flawed. And you are beautiful.

Joint Base Lewis-McChord, WA
The Joint Base Lewis-McChord (Fort Lewis and McChord Air Force Base merged in 2010 to become JBLM) located along the Puget Sound just south of Tacoma, WA contains 61,000 acres of forest, woodland, and savanna. This forest resource is managed by an on-site forestry department to "provide good stewardship of the forested training lands by ensuring the continued existence of a healthy forest that supports military training, sustains native plants and animals, and benefits local communities." In 2002, Fort Lewis became the first Federal ownership in the US to be certified as a sustainable forestry operation by Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
Forest management on this unique property has evolved since the formal forestry program was established in 1953 in response to mission needs, land management philosophies, and environmental stewardship requirements. Inventories in the 1960's indicated that the age and canopy structure of most forest lands on Fort Lewis were the result of one or more harvest entries or post-settlement wildfires, and 90 percent of the forest was less than 70 years old. Standing commercial wood inventory was only 430 million board feet, about one-fourth of the current inventory. During the next 20 years, much of the timber harvest was pulp and firewood because of the small average size of trees. Since 1984, with larger trees, logging has removed primarily sawtimber (larger stems used for lumber), with an annual average treated area of 2,000-3,000 acres. Starting in 1992, the primary harvesting regime shifted from traditional thinning, which creates more uniform forests over time, to variable-density thinning, which creates more structurally diverse forests over time. The current inventory is nearly two billion board feet.
There are a variety of plant communities on the property including some rare ecosystems that have been the focus of ecological restoration efforts. These communities include Oregon white oak woodlands that are important to many wildlife species but are declining in southern Puget Sound. As well as ponderosa pine woodlands/savannas which form a globally unique plant community found only on and adjacent to JBLM. The purpose of restoration in these areas is to move these woodlands/savannas back towards their pre-European condition, reintroduce fire as a natural process, and improve habitat for wildlife. JBLM Forestry has supported forest ecology and management research for more than 20 years conducted by the U.S. Forest Service and faculty members at academic institutions.

Buy "The Cat in the Hat (0400307299532) Dr. Seuss Books" Online
I want my money back!!!I bought it as I was on the Kindle version page and it said it had a very high score, almost perfect. When I opened it in my Kindle Paperwhite, it came as 2 pages in 1. .. impossible to read. I have come back to the page and read the reviews. To my surprise, all reviews are mixed up. .. not only the Kindle version, but original movie, new movie, someone reading a book (tape recording), original books, fake books, second hand books, books with bubble gums inside or torn pages. What is this? Reviews should be separated to correspond the product you ARE buying. So if I wish to buy the Kindle version I should ONLY see the reviews for the Kindle version and nothing else. I will now contact customer support to get my money back. I have never been so disappointed with Amazon as last night. Update: Thanks, Amazon, for giving me credit (refund) for this purchase! Check it out!
Amazon.com Review He may be an old standby, but he never lets us down. When in doubt, turn to the story of the cat that transformed a dull, rainy afternoon into a magical and just-messy-enough adventure. There's another, hidden adventure, too: this book really will help children learn to read. With his simple and often single-vowel vocabulary, the good Doctor knew what he was doing: hear it, learn it, read it–laughing all the way. The Cat in the Hat is a must for any child's library.
The Cat in the Hat Hardcover – March 12, 1957 by Dr. Seuss (Author) Review
I was born and raised outside the US. Dr. Seuss was not part of my childhood, but I grew up in a household where books were serious business. I barely remember my toys as a kid, but I do vividly remember all my book collections, illustrations, textures. Both of my kids were born in the US and I read for them every single day. They are growing up hearing different stories then I did, and I am very much enjoying the ride with them. When I first read them a Dr. Seuss book I had mixed feelings. I honestly wasn't very sure if I had liked it or not. But after reading a few books, it just grew in me. Dr. Seuss' books are magical. There is something about them (their oddness, I presume?) that simply sticks to your mind. And most of them have a very nice hidden message among all the chaotic scenarios and crazy characters. Now Dr. Seuss is one of my favorite authors, and The Cat in The Hat my favorite character. This book is simply great for preschoolers and kindergartners (older kids too!). The rhymes and the humor are spot on. I had read it first at the library and end up buying it as a gift to another foreigner kid who wasn't familiar with the story. It was a hit. -Read Reviews-
This Kindle version reproduces the original as two facing pages side-by-side on one Kindle page, resulting in text that is unreadable without a magnifying glass. The text-scaling tool will not work (because it is all one integrated image). It is useless as a resource to help our granddaughter with her reading. What a shame – fortunately we still have the well-worn original hardcover in glorious color.

Now THAT is a very good question lol. Hmmm ... okay, honestly .. and this is going to sound silly, but the name *Doogie* on the old medical show "Doogie Howser, M.D." really sounded so AH-noying :P
Seriously, Fred Ted or Ed ... ANYthing but Doogie. So let's go with Heath Howser, M.D. ;D

The Little Princess is one of my fave childhood reads and I love that it inspired your character name! :)
I'm guessing all kinds of names for that actress girl.

haha, Using "Elon" but wondering about picturing the plumber...hehe...Names are so cool, so distinctive and "personalizing" - and it's neat to see how naming characters goes :o)
Changing a name? Oh man...I don't watch a lot of tv - aside from football, the only thing I watch consistently is Hawaii Five-0 ... Oooh! Okay: the detective Chin on Hawaii Five-0, it's always weird to me that McGarrett goes by his supercool last name; Danny is "Danno" and then Chin is just...Chin. He needs a cooler handle, but I'm not sure what I'd suggest :o)

I would change the name of Rachel's daughter, Emma, on Friends. A few months before that episode aired, my niece Emma was born. See the dilemma here? So many baby girl were named Emma after that, I think it was on of the top 5 names of the year. Now my niece Emma has so many friends with the same name.
Same as the Bella phenomenon - thank you Twilight, ahem.
So I would change Friends "Emma" to Ruthie - another R name to go with Ross and Rachel.

I would change Hermione from Harry Potter. While everyone now knows the name, as a kid I just couldn't pronounce it. Until the movies came out, I came up with just about every variation possible. I always wanted something simple, like Ann lol.

I always love to find out the reasoning behind characters names. It's always so interesting.
The character I'd change the name for is Lance Sweets from Bones. First of Lance is obnoxious. I feel like he's a Michael or Andrew, and then Sweets? Come one! He could be Stevens or Stone and it would work the same way. Right now his name makes him seem 14!

I have to go with Vivien. I would change Hermione. Growing up, reading those books, it was something I struggled to pronounce correctly.
Thanks for the giveaway!

Thanks for the giveaway! If I had to change any character's name in a book, it would be Fared in Inkheart by Cornelia Funke - simply because that's my uncle's name and I'm not that fond of the character and his constant mooning over Meggy.

Not being British, I pronounced Hermione as her me own. When the movie came out I laughed my head off! Duh me! I wouldn't change it though- it fits her perfectly:)
I am a follower.
Thanks for the chance!

Great question! For me it isn't that I don't like the names it's that there are so many names that I have such a hard time knowing how to pronounce them when I am reading that I wish they were something I could prounounce easily. When I try to talk to fellow readers about them I don't know how to say the names properly. Give me a pronounciation guide if your going to make the names all tricky.

Hm. Good question. I can't really think of any one instance of a name that makes me nuts but I would definitely change every instance of the name Heather. Being a teen in the 90's- every teen movie had a Heather and they were rarely nice. So I'm biased against that one for sure.

Well, from the TV series Haven, the two characters' names are Audrey Parker and Nathan Wuornos. I really like them as a couple, Nathan and Audrey, but there was this one time where he said, "You're not just my partner, Parker." The "p" alliteration kind of bothered me, so I'd keep her first name, Audrey, and change her first name to something else. Not sure, but probably Wharton or something. Anything that doesn't start with a "p"

Umm yeah I'm going with Megan! Heather *as it is my own name* was always given a bad wrap so when i see it in a book / movie I think oh no she's gonna be bad!

Although my choice is originally a book and there have been many movies of it I would change From Jane Austen Pride & Prejudice Mr. Bingley's name to something else. In fact Mr. Collins name is so normal that they should be switched and he should be Mr. Bingley instead. It's such a silly name!

Fun question and I'll have to go with Greek since I just had a marathon on a few weeks ago. I loved all the names on there except for Casey's brother Rusty. My sister's dog name is Rusty so I just couldn't find the name to fit his character. I always though Kevin or Greg would have been a better fit

Right now I an reading a book called Between Here and Forever and the guy's name is Eli and It kind of bugs me because it kind of sounds like a girl's name so if I could change it, it would have to be a name that is rarely used, maybe something mysterious and sexy like Nathaniel or Alec yeah that what I would pick.
- November 10, 2011 at 1:47 PM
I'm currently watching this show and the hot main guy has a not to hot name. He goes by the name Ari but that so does not go with this guy so if I could change his name it would have to be Adam (now tha's a hot name)

This is an interesting question! It's so funny, because I always thought Jennifer Aniston's character Rachel on Friends should not have been Rachel. To me, Jennifer only looks like a Jennifer and I think that's the only name she should ever use as her character! LOL

Hi, I have attempted to formulate a canonical expression of the concept of intrinsic volume level for sound clips (pre-recorded / pre-generated) so that authors can produce content with a good degree of confidence that TTS voices render with predictable volume levels (e.g. comparable loudness when no dB attenuation is specified). Reminder: the decibel adjustments are relative to keyword values, which are user "preferred" loudness settings (i.e. not known at authoring time). Let me know if this is satisfactory, at least for a transition to Last Call Working Draft :) http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-speech/#cue-props On 7 Jul 2011, at 19:33, fantasai wrote: > On 07/07/2011 02:31 AM, Daniel Weck wrote: >> Well, just to put things into perspective, let's say you have 2 pre-recorded audio clips, one for cue-before, one for >> cue-after.

The Federal Housing Finance Agency's pilot to sell real estate owned homes to investors disappoints as it singles out properties already occupied by tenants, according to a new report from Paul Dales, senior U.S. economist for Capital Economics.
The pilot program will involve the sale of 2,490 REOs, or 1% of the REO assets held by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, to investors in an REO-to-rental plan.
Dale said he is "disappointed that 85% of the REO units due to be sold are already occupied by tenants."
"The pilot plan will therefore do almost nothing to reduce the number of vacant homes for sale or provide more homes to rent," he said.
Dales said the program does not address the fact that the housing supply is extremely high and demand remains low. In addition, he said higher mortgage fees could end up reducing housing demand rather than lifting it.
The Federal Housing Finance Agency announced the pilot program Monday, saying the government will begin taking bids on certain REO assets. In response to questions raised about the program's potential to deal with vacant properties, FHFA said, "As the management response indicates, we are concluding our supervisory work in this area and we will direct the enterprises to take whatever action is warranted once we are done."
Meg Burns, senior associate director of Housing and Regulatory Policy at FHFA, said, "The pilot transaction very much gets at the issue at hand—helping to stabilize communities by keeping people in their homes where possible. This helps stabilize neighborhoods because many of the properties will continue as rentals instead of moving quickly to the for-sale market. In addition, it is easiest to price properties with renters already in place, which should help to attract investor interest."
Dales suggested higher fees on borrowers with FHA loans will not be onerous; however, it still comes at a time when he believes "the administration should be implementing policies that boost housing demand not reduce it."

Terracycle Sued by Scotts Miracle-Gro
TerraCycle Inc. -- founded by college students wanting to create an eco-friendly business and now staffing a whopping 33 people. Scotts Miracle-Gro -- 59 percent market share and annual profits surpassing $132 million, with only about 5,000 employees. So why then would Scotts be suing TerraCycle, could it be that they're scared?
We at The Renewable Planet have admired TerraCycle in the past, from its organic worm-waste plant food to its recycled plastic soda bottle containers, collected by schools and charities across America no less.
Why Scotts is angry with TerraCycle
Scotts doesn't like that TerraCycle products look similar to its own, which really just means they use the same colors of yellow and green, with a circle and a picture of flowers and vegetables. I'm sure using such images is virtually unheard of in the plant fertilizer industry. As for Scotts' concern that consumers are likely to be confused into thinking TerraCycle is associated with Miracle-Gro, I'm sure TerraCycle would find that concerning as well.
Scotts also doesn't like TerraCycle telling customers their product is as good or better than "a leading synthetic plant food" while refusing to hand over scientific tests to Scotts' scientists. You'd think that would make sense to a company that also refuses to show test results of their products.
This information all comes from a website TerraCycle set up to address the situation, so maybe I'm only getting part of the story, but I'm more inclined to trust a company that uses ingredients such as worm poop than a company that sells products where contact can require first aid. I guess the lawsuit is almost like good news, Scotts must really view TerraCycle as a competitor if they've overlooked the countless other similar looking products out there to go after the little organic guys.

BJ Penn's unanimous decision loss to Frankie Edgar at UFC 112 in Abu Dhabi earlier this year was somewhat of a shock, but what was even more suprising was Penn's attitude to the loss.
The Hawaiian was remarkably mellow about having just lost his belt, and potentially having been on the end of a dubious judges decision as some observers, this writer included, believed at the time.
Directly after the fight Penn embarked on a grueling tour to promote his new book which perhaps took his mind of the defeat. Today however, some two and a half months after the fight, it seems that Penn has only just taken the time to really reflect on what happened on April 1oth, and it's had an immediate effect on his mood going into the rematch.
"I just saw the fight between me and Frankie Edgar yesterday because I'm getting ready to see what he does," he tells his fans on his latest video blog at bjpenn.com. "While watching the fight, now I kinda realize what everybody was talking about because this is the first time I've seen the fight….and I don't know how I lost every round. That's pretty strange.
"And then, [on] the other hand, it just makes me think about how Frankie was trying to get out of the fight and fight Gray Maynard and not try to give me my rematch. It makes me dislike Frankie very much for not giving me my chance, when he wasn't a big name and I give him his shot.
"There it is, that's how I feel about that situation. I don't even care if I win or lose, I just want to go in there and I can't wait to see you in the ring Frankie. Trying to get out of the fight when it was a fight like that. There really was no….you know what I mean? – you didn't win all five rounds, and now your trying to get out of the fight. Yep, just makes me dislike you. Can't wait to see you in the ring on August 28th – let's do it."
Personally I thought Penn lacked a little desire in his performance, and it may be that this is just the spark he needs to raise his game and get revenge in two months time.
Watch BJ Penn's video blog entry for yourself below.

I don't have a lot of experience with the 45acp other then a few hundred rounds through my S&W 4566. It's a great gun but It's kinda heavy and don't fit my hand real well so I'm looking for something lighter but don't have to be smaller. There are so many. Just looking for options and comments on what others are using.

I graduated from the University of Windsor in 1998, B. Comm. (Hons) specializing in Accounting, at the top of my class and with a position at the Big 4 public accounting firm in Windsor at which I completed an internship. Here I gained experience in audit and small business, attaining Chartered Accountant designation in 2001 and passing the US CPA exam in 1999.
In 2001 I accepted a position in audit at a national public accounting firm in metro Detroit. After 8 years working in Detroit both in Big 4 public accounting and at Tier One automotive suppliers in finance and accounting, during which time I attained the CPA designation in Illinois and in Michigan, I returned to work in Windsor/Essex County in public accounting in audit and small business, ranging from the small sole proprietor firm to the role of Senior Manager at the Big 4 firm at which I first worked.
I formed my own practice in 2013 and currently, as a licensed public accountant, serve individuals and small business clients in various industries in Windsor and the Essex-Kent area.

|Real Life - Breckenridge, Winter
|Book Life - Frenchman's Creek, Summer
Greetings! Apologies for the lateness of this blogpost. I could blame it on the fact that I am now The Heroine Addict who is the furthest west. I could blame it on my lack of internet, except it got sorted out this morning. I could but I won't.
Instead I am putting it down to my head being pulled in two very different directions.
I'm currently working on a YA novel set during two summers in Cornwall. Wonderful I hear you say, nothing is more lovely than a Cornish summer and I agree with you. The only problem I have is that I am thousands of miles away in a ski resort up to my neck in snow.
It is causing a split in my personality. I stare at my laptop and the words conjuror up dark green trees, grey water, blue skies and twisted folk tales. I look up and out the window. It is snow and icicles, blue skies or blizzards, Native American tales and moose on the trails. What is a writer to do?
I'm thinking of stocking up on cider to see if that helps get me in the mood… all for research purposes, you understand.
How do you deal with the conundrum?
