Where's Woody when we need him?
In these times of tinkle-down economics — with the money powers thinking that they're the top dogs and that the rest of us are just a bunch of fire hydrants — we need for the hard-hitting (yet uplifting) musical stories, social commentaries and inspired lyrical populism of Woody Guthrie.
This year will mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of this legendary grassroots troubadour, who came out of the Oklahoma dust bowl to rally America's "just plain folks" to fight back against the elites who were knocking them down.
As we know, the elites are back, strutting around cockier than ever with their knocking-down ways — but now comes the good news out of Tulsa, Okla., that Woody, too, is being revived, spiritually speaking. In a national collaboration between the Guthrie family and the George Kaiser Family Foundation, a center is being built in Tulsa to archive, present to the world and celebrate the marvelous songs, books, letters and other materials generated from Guthrie's deeply fertile mind.
To give the center a proper kick-start, four great universities, the Grammy Museum, the Smithsonian Institution and the Kaiser Foundation are teaming up to host a combination of symposiums and concerts (think of them as Woody-Paloozas) throughout this centennial year. They begin this Saturday, March 10 at the University of Tulsa, then they move on down the road to Brooklyn College and on to the University of Southern California and Penn State University.
If Woody himself were to reappear among us, rambling from town to town, he wouldn't need to write any new material. He'd see that the Wall Street banksters who crashed our economy are getting fat bonus checks, while the victims of their greed are still getting pink slips and eviction notices, and he could just pull out this verse from his old song, "Pretty Boy Floyd":
Yes, as through this world I've wandered,
I've seen lots of funny men.
Some will rob you with a six-gun,
And some with a fountain pen.
And as through your life your travel,
Yes, as through your life your roam,
You won't never see an outlaw
Drive a family from their home.
Also, witnessing the downsizing of America's jobs, decimation of the middle class and stark rise in poverty, Guthrie could reprise his classic, "I Ain't Got No Home":
I mined in your mines, and I gathered in your corn.
I been working, mister, since the day I was born.
Now I worry all the time like I never did before,
'Cause I ain't got no home in this world anymore.
Now as I look around, it's mighty plain to see,
This world is such a great and a funny place to be.
Oh, the gamblin' man is rich, an' the workin' man is poor,
And I ain't got no home in this world anymore.
Guthrie unabashedly celebrated America's working class, seeing in it the commitment to the common good that lifts America up. He drove The Powers That Be crazy (a pretty short ride for many of them back then, just as it is today). So they branded him a unionist, socialist, communist and all sorts of other "ists" — but he withered them with humor that got people laughing at them: "I ain't a communist necessarily, but I have been in the red all my life."
Going down those "ribbons of highway" that he extolled in "This Land Is Your Land," Guthrie found that the only real hope of fairness and justice was in the people themselves: "When you bum around for a year or two and look at all the folks that's down and out, busted, disgusted (but can still be trusted), you wish that somehow or other they could ... pitch in and build this country back up again." He concluded, "There is just one way to save yourself, and that's to get together and work and fight for everybody."
And, indeed, that's exactly what grassroots people are doing all across our country today. From Occupy Wall Street to the ongoing Wisconsin uprising, from battles against the Keystone XL Pipeline to the successful local and state campaigns to repeal the Supreme Court's atrocious Citizens United edict, people are adding their own verses to Woody's musical refrain: "I ain't a-gonna be treated this a-way."
Where's Woody when we need him? He's right there, inside each of us.

The Nuggets were scheduled to practice Thursday, but coach Brian Shaw felt his team needed to talk more than it needed to play.
First, the Nuggets suspended backup guard Andre Miller two games for ripping into Shaw during Wednesday's home game against Philadelphia.
Then, Shaw told his players he wanted to hear what the rest of them had to say about the tumult within the team, which has lost eight consecutive games. Shaw and the coaching staff conducted meetings with each player, then held a collective team meeting during which players were asked to state their grievances. With the team spiraling down and showing a lack of effort in recent games, Shaw felt the meetings were needed.
"However long it needs to take to try to flush everything out and figure out what's going on with our team, we decided to take that time," Shaw said Thursday.
Asked if he was confident the meetings will help, Shaw said "yeah."
"There were a lot of things that people wanted to get off their chests," Shaw said. "They were given the platform to get it off their chests, and collectively talked it out on what we felt needed to be the common denominator moving forward. And I think it was pretty unanimous that it was hard work and effort."
Denver's 114-102 loss to the 76ers on Wednesday was a particular sore spot. Philadelphia, a young team likely headed toward the draft lottery, had won only two games on the road all season. And yet the 76ers played as if they wanted to win more than the Nuggets did.
Fans at the Pepsi Center quickly picked up on that and booed the home team, including when the Nuggets were walking off the court before halftime and at the end of the game.
"We have nowhere to go but up from here," forward J.J. Hickson said afterward. "I feel like we have reached rock bottom."
Denver dropped to 14-17 and plays Memphis at home Friday.
Shaw, who was peppered with "Go back to Indiana" and "Bring back George Karl" jeers from some fans Wednesday, took the blame for his team's lack of energy against Philadelphia.
"That's on me," Shaw said. "I've got to keep on seeking and searching, try to find ways to motivate our team to play harder. We can coach a lot of other things, but I still have to continue to try to find the guys who want to get out there and play hard, and I'm doing a poor job at that."
Figuring out each player's problems is Shaw's latest attempt to do just that.
Miller, meanwhile, will miss Friday's game against the Grizzlies and Sunday's road game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Nuggets suspended him for "conduct detrimental to the team."
Shaw said he didn't talk to Miller on Thursday, though he reached out to him. Shaw said he will talk to Miller before he reinstates him. He said he has no ill feelings toward Miller and has every expectation of being able to work with him. Miller wasn't made available to comment.
Nuggets guard Ty Lawson said the meetings were needed.
"When you lose eight games in a row, emotions are high," Lawson said. "It's an unfortunate situation that the team is going through. This should be a turning point. Everybody got their feelings out. Everybody said what needed to be said. Hopefully everybody will take that to heart and just change and we can start getting wins."
During their losing streak, the Nuggets have lost to teams with a combined 147-103 (.588) record. But the defeats have been trumped by the manner in which the Nuggets have played.
"There's going to be ups and downs," Shaw said. "It's how you come back from that, that shows what you're made of. Right now, we're at a real down period. Two and a half weeks ago or however long ago it was, we were up. We were at the end of a seven-game winning streak. These things happen in a season. It's just trying to nip it in the bud, so that a little snowball rolling down the hill doesn't turn into a big avalanche."

Spotlight on Mike Conley: In his seventh NBA season, all with the Grizzlies as the No. 4 overall pick in the 2007 draft, Conley is having his most productive campaign. He entered Thursday night's game at Phoenix leading the Grizzlies in scoring with an average of 17.3 points per game, nearly three points better than his previous career high for a season (14.6 in 2012-13). He also is averaging a team-high 6.3 assists, just 0.2 off his career best, which he did in both the 2010-11 and 2011-12 seasons.
Grizzlies: Memphis entered Thursday having won only three of its past 10 games. … A sprained MCL in his left knee has kept 7-foot-1 center Marc Gasol out since Nov. 22. … Memphis defeated Denver 120-99 last Saturday. The Grizzlies led 57-56 at halftime. Former Nuggets center Kosta Koufos had nine points and 12 rebounds in that game. … Memphis entered Thursday ranked sixth defensively in points allowed per game at 97.2, although it was 26th in scoring at 94.7.
Nuggets: Denver's last win was Dec. 15: 102-93 over New Orleans at home. … Five of the eight games in Denver's losing streak have been played at the Pepsi Center. … Denver has lost by an average score of 105.6-93.5 in the past eight games, scoring more than 100 points only once. … Kenneth Faried was the only Nugget with a positive plus-minus rating in Wednesday night's 114-102 home loss to Philadelphia. He finished plus-2 with 12 points and six rebounds. … Entering Thursday, Ty Lawson's average of 8.0 assists per game ranked eighth in the NBA; his average of 17.7 points was 32nd. J.J. Hickson was tied for 23rd in the league with an average of 8.7 rebounds.

Any news on this Hybrid? While the movie marketing is in full swing, news on the score front is pretty much non existent. Here's hoping Balfe's brought his A-game to this (like Ironclad) because the movie looks other worldly in terms of propulsive action set pieces.

2018-04-19 12:51:20
Damn I was hoping Zimmer, Giacchino or Kraemer would do this.
Edmund Meinerts
2018-04-19 12:59:38
I'm sure the Balfe brigade will still find some way to tar and feather me for this, but I think he could do a decent job here. After all, you can't just write a generic action score for Mission Impossible. It has to have that throwback espionage feel, the suaveness, the sense of cool, and I think Balfe will do okay with that - look at Penguins of Madagascar. I just hope he gets to use a real orchestra for once (no excuse not to on a film of this type and size), and that he doesn't ignore Lalo Schifrin's theme.
I'd still rather have had Kraemer back considering the excellent job he did on Ghost Protocol (and the fact he never gets any assignments otherwise) but Balfe could do well here.
2018-04-19 13:46:44
I think we may be surprised with this one, guys. Tom Cruise and JJ Abrams both are into melodic sounding scores, amd when Lorne is allowed to go all out melodic on us he creates perfection (ie: LEGO Batman, Home, parts of Geostorm, his contributions to kung fu panda and Sherlock)... I do hope he has somewhat of a throwback sound from it, but I also want that signature RCP sound too! Not gonna lie this is good news for me.
2018-04-19 17:33:07
I feel like the only way I could be excited about this would be if they adopted the sound of M:I-2, which I find very unlikely. Primarily because the sound is very dated, but also because Fallout is likely to be a more serious movie than II ever will be. Still, I'm cautiously optimistic, especially if it was true that he did the trailer music.
And it was Rogue Nation that Kraemer worked on, not Ghost Protocol.
2018-04-20 10:23:23
I agree with Edmund for the most part, except that JJ Abrams usually works with Giacchino, and Cruise's recent productions include Jack Reacher 2 and Edge of Tomorrow. So I wouldnt exactly take a melodic or thematic score for granted...
That being said, at this point I expect something like Penguins, but I secretely hope for something really amazing and surprising that would explain why McQuarrie broke up with Kraemer.
2018-04-20 11:21:34
I hope Balfe delivers but he has not done a score that I really listen to more than once so I hope this will be it.
Edmund Meinerts
2018-04-20 12:41:49
Ds, am I reading that correctly that you're using the fact that JJ works with Giacchino as evidence that the score might *not* be melodic or thematic? Because say what you want about Giacchino (and I'm far from his biggest fan either), it's an objective fact that he writes film music that is almost exclusively thematic/melodic. Whether you like those themes and melodies is another question, but they are undeniably themes and melodies.
2018-04-20 14:10:45
For me, a theme is a distinguishable motif or piece of music that is related to a specific location, event or most commonly character, and that the viewer notices as such. If your score contains 20 themes that are never repeated in a similar form and are so uncharacteristic that they all sound the same, I'm just calling that orchestra noise. And I don't see any appeal in that kind of scoring...
Edmund Meinerts
2018-04-20 15:06:29
I mean sure, but I can't think of many Giacchino scores that actually match that description. The Star Trek reboot scores for example, where he has a (pretty good) main theme that he plays the same way roughly sixteen thousand times over and over again. :p
2018-04-20 21:10:44
I don't think you have listened to the Star Trek scores properly. Giacchino has a main theme that he uses a lot, but also a theme for Spock, themes for the bad guys of each movie and even a theme for the city of Yorktown in the third movie.
Another great example of this is LOST, where almost all the characters had a theme that played through all the series and there were also themes for locations or even situations.
So I don't think Giacchino is out of the use of themes.
2018-04-21 01:12:05
Well maybe you guys are right, to be honest i never cared much about this composer. All i know is that i almost never noticed any kind of theme when watching movies scored by him, while usually I'm the kind of audience who pays attention to the music. It can be that his way of writing or orchestrating or mixing doesnt match with my own taste, that's a possibility. Anyway I still maintain that none of his scores or themes has become a "classic", despite the ridiculous amount of major blockbusters he had the chance to score so far...
2018-04-21 11:36:36
Well, I guess that is a matter of tastes and opinion, because for me scores like The Incredibles or Up, for saying some examples, are classics inside the animation field.
But is fine. We have our own preferences and that's okay.
Edmund Meinerts
2018-04-22 17:34:19
Yeah, I know there's more than just the main theme in those Trek scores, I was just exaggerating to make a point. :p

Think there's any outside chance Hans is doing this one? Hybrid mentioned on the Film Score Monthly forum that he knows it's not Brian Tyler, and he's been mum on anything on this site. Hans also mentioned in the latest video on the news page here that he was working on something he couldn't discuss yet, if I remember correctly... but that could technically be anything..
With X Men being pushed back and lion king not coming out til next year, Hans seemingly has nothing scheduled for 2018... and Kraemer was never even asked back, he was notified that he would not be asked to return to the franchise, which could possibly indicate that the studio got someone bigger that they couldn't say no to. I'm not claiming to know anything at all... in fact I'm probably completely wrong haha.. but it sure would be awesome to get another Hans score for this franchise.

Yeah, I think there's a good chance HZ will score this one. In fact, I think it'd be cool if he reunited with that female singer he worked with on last year's Gladiator! Either way, John Woo is attached to direct, so it should be pretty badass.
Randy Watson
2018-04-08 11:13:21
Well, John Powell scored Woo's last film and his star his rising so maybe he'll get the job.
I just hope they won't do something foolish and let some flavor of the month, like Limb Bizkit perhaps, ruin the theme.
2018-04-08 21:15:38
Randy, I honestly don't see them going in that direction. I'm not even sure a rock vibe would work for this film! Woo will probably want to stick with something similar to Elfman's work on the last film, something more traditional.
2018-04-08 21:37:29
Maguire who directed the 5th movie is directing MI6, not woo
2018-04-08 21:53:12
Not to be confused with Christopher McQuarrie, who definitely did not direct MI5.
2018-04-08 23:10:57
Sorry, I Misspelled Christopher McQuarrie. He did definitively direct MI5 and he's doing MI6.
2018-04-09 01:52:42
It is likely that they have no composer and only work with tracks already recorded such as in the Tarantino films.
There must be a composer and this guy is someone "minor" in the business.If it was Zimmer or Kraemer, they would have already released the information.
2018-04-09 01:59:31
I doubt it, Olive. La La Land posted on a Film Score Monthly forum that "they know something we don't know..." and I'm assuming that it's a major hire... and for whatever reason they're keeping it a secret. I'm not gonna lie I have begun to think it really might be Hans.
2018-04-09 02:33:08
I would be fascinated with Zimmer returning ONLY if he sticks to the more traditional, orchestral approach that Kraemer did for the last one. Or any composer for that matter. Personally I would like to hear something along the lines of Kingsman, bold and adventerous.
It's funny that, outside of portions of Megamind, we've never really had Zimmer in that classic "James Bond" esque style of scoring mode, unless there is something I'm forgetting.

I might be criticized for this one, but am I the only one who thinks Injection would be a cooler track without Lisa Gerrard's vocals? She really worked with Gladiator, but here I thought not so much. Either way, it's a fantastic piece of music.
And by the way, great seeing "How To Train Your Dragon 2: Music by John Powell" under "Coming Soon". His first score was spectacular. :D

Run Him Over from Pain & Gain is pretty much Injection without Lisa Gerrard's vocals. I personally like Injection the way it is though. It would be interesting to listen to it without the vocals though.

Seeing as Zimmer rarely uses other peoples' themes in movies, I wonder how he felt using Lalo Schifrin's theme here...

Did Heitor Pereira do anything on this score? Because one Youtube user uploaded a lot of these tracks and most if not all said "###" with the track titles.

Good ol' commenter Uncle Jesse returns to the Speak Up on Kotaku spotlight today, wondering if any of you actually use those convenient microphones they attach to today's newfangled headsets.
I was playing some Gears last night and not one person was using a mic, so I left mine on mute as well. Then one guy just shouted, "DOES ANYONE HAVE A MIC?!" after about 20 minutes of silent, team deathmatch. I switched mine on and we started chatting. Then, wouldn't you know it, about 6 other people must have done the same and we all started talking and went from getting mopped up to winning!
Do you guys use your mics or do you just have them on your head, listening to everyone else but not saying a word yourself? I know it's kind of weird playing with strangers and just chatting, and sometimes you run into 'those people', but last night was the first time I actually was engaged and using my mic. Normally, I'm guilty of just listening in on everyone else.
About Speak Up on Kotaku: Our readers have a lot to say, and sometimes what they have to say has nothing to do with the stories we run. That's why we have a forum on Kotaku called Speak Up. That's the place to post anecdotes, photos, game tips and hints, and anything you want to share with Kotaku at large. Every weekday we'll pull one of the best Speak Up posts we can find and highlight it here.

IT IS URGENT THAT YOU DO NOT CONNECT TO THE INTERNET FROM MARCH 31st 23:59 GMT (11:59 PM) UNTIL 00:01 GMT (12:01 AM) APRIL 2nd.
It's that time again. As many of you know, each year the Internet must be closed down for a 24 hour period of time in order to receive maintenance, or a "Tune Up" if you will.
Many dead links on the World Wide Web will be removed, as well as ftp links that are no longer used. Lost email will also be removed from the system at this time. The White House is very interested in this part of the project.
In addition to the normal maintenance to be completed this year, we will also be using new high pressure information jets to clear out the bottlenecks that have plagued the internet so greatly this past year.
Although the down time for maintenance will be an inconvenience for many people, you will find this will allow for a much more efficient and faster responding internet.
This year, the "Tune Up" will occur from 23:59 GMT (11:59 PM) on March 31st until 00:01 GMT (12:01 AM) on April 2nd. During that 24 hour period, dozens of powerful Internet bots at key locations around the globe will simultaneously scan the Internet and complete the desired maintenance jobs wherever they may be required.
To help protect any valuable data you may have on the Internet from possible corruption, we highly recommend you take the following steps before this 24 hour maintenance period begins:
1. Disconnect all terminals and LANs from the Internet.
2. Disconnect all Internet servers from the Internet.
3. Refrain from connecting any computer, or any other Internet connection device, to the Internet in any way.
Note: The term "other Internet connection device" includes such devices as WebTV.
Again, we understand the inconvenience this will cause many people. And for that, we apologize. However, the great increase in Internet performance you will experience after this short period of maintenance will far outweigh any problems it will cause.
This message comes to you from the Internet via your Internet Service Provider.

Check the following requirements before you continue with the Gentoo installation:
Still interested in trying out Gentoo? Well, then it is now time to choose the installation medium you want to use. Yes, you have the choice, no, they are not all equal, and yes, the result is always the same: a Gentoo base system.
The installation media we will describe are:

Write down (or remember) what stage you want to use. You need this later when you decide what LiveCD (or other installation medium) you want to use. You might be interested to know that, if you decide to use different optimization settings after having installed Gentoo, you will be able to recompile your entire system with the new optimization settings.
Now take a look at the available installation media.
You have chosen to use a Gentoo LiveCD (if not, then you are reading the wrong document). We'll first start by downloading and burning the chosen LiveCD.
Visit one of our
In case you wonder if your downloaded file is corrupted or not, you can
check its MD5 checksum and compare it with the MD5 checksum we provide (such as
Once downloaded, decompress the ISO file (as it is stored in a compressed format
using the Burrows-Wheeler text compression algorithm) using
# bunzip2 gentoo-alpha-1.4rc1-test3.iso.bz2
Another way to check the validity of the downloaded file is to use GnuPG to
verify the cryptographic signature that we provide (the file ending with

When your Alpha is powered on, the first thing that gets started is the
firmware. It is loosely synonymous with the BIOS software on PC systems. There
are two types of firmware on Alpha systems: SRM (
SRM is based on the Alpha Console Subsystem specification, which provides an
operating environment for OpenVMS, Tru64 UNIX, and Linux operating systems. ARM
is based on the Advanced RISC Computing (ARC) specification, which provides
an operating environment for Windows NT. You can find a
If your Alpha system supports both SRC and ARCs (ARC, AlphaBIOS, ARCSBIOS) you
should follow
Now to boot an Alpha LiveCD, put the CD-ROM in the tray and reboot the system.
You can use SRM to boot the LiveCD. If you cannot do that, you will have to use

Now continue with
When the Live CD boots, it tries to detect all your hardware devices and loads the appropriate kernel modules to support your hardware. In the vast majority of cases, it does a very good job. However, in some cases (the SPARC LiveCDs don't even do autodetection), it may not auto-load the kernel modules you need. If the PCI auto-detection missed some of your system's hardware, you will have to load the appropriate kernel modules manually.
In the next example we try to load the

Hello and welcome everyone to another blog post.
I appreciate you all taking the time to read these and leaving comments. This is just my view of the things you may or may not be seeing during "The Ultimate Fighter 13."
If you agree or disagree, come by Twitter (@lewpolley) to discuss.
Quarterfinal match No. 1: Zach Davis vs. Chuck O'Neil
Zach was feeling very confident about his matchup with Chuck. I do believe Junior Dos Santos wanted Zach to go to the ground with Chuck while emphasizing he should believe in his jiu jitsu.
Wanting to do something and actually doing it, though, are two different things.
It seems that you need to draw out specifics on how to accomplish the goals you set for a fight – position by position, round by round. It did not look as if the scenarios that needed to be drilled or gone over where elaborated upon in any way. It looked as if Zach was told to fight and just end up on the ground somehow. These are the rounds in which game plans, strategies and focused intensity make the most difference.
The fight started with aggression. Both fighters were looking to make a statement. Chuck wanted to prove it was a fluke, and Zach wanted to prove he was better and had Chuck's number.
Chuck seemed the sharper of the two with more bad intentions on his strikes. Zach seems a bit confused as the route he wanted to take. He felt the pressure and took a shot that Chuck defended. Zach ran Chuck into the fence to stop his momentum. As the two separated, you could see Chuck intentions all over Zach face.
Chuck starts mixing up his attacks, and you could tell he was feeling it and his confidence was rising. He placed his opponent in constant danger, but Zach continued to fight. His heart is immeasurable, and he kept pushing and again put Chuck against the cage. In short time, Chuck went for broke landing hard shots that staggered Zach.
The second round was more of the same but with more pressure and a diverse attack from Chuck. Zach was a very tough guy, staying in and still trying to fight. Most others would have looked for a way out.
But Chuck started teeing off on Zach and ended the round keeping Zach on his heels. This was a good but tough fight to watch. My heart goes out to Zach, and he was a great guy and a good competitor. Chuck was on, and he had been since his initial loss to Zach.
It was a great turnaround on his part.
On a side note, you always want to win, but you never want your opponent to become seriously hurt to the point he may never compete again. In the story of life, fighting is just a footnote. This is why I always preach there is no tomorrow and to train everyday like it's your last – because it may be.
Many disliked my approach, but it's to safeguard against these types of things happening. I honestly feel that the guys were poorly advised and unprepared for their bouts. You can say what you want, but numbers don't lie. The team was 4-2 with me and 1-5 without me.
People can now understand the severity of making mistakes in the cage. Every aspect of fight prep is important. All the people who claim I am too hard and treat it like a gladiator sport? Ask Zach about that.
Quarterfinal match No. 1: Zach Davis vs. Chuck O'Neil
This fight was not indicative of Ryan's skillset.
I do believe Ryan is a slow starter. Tony, though, happened to capitalize on this with a short uppercut that caught and staggered Ryan.
Once Ryan fell, Tony seized the opportunity and finished what he started.
Ryan wanted this very badly, not only for himself but for his little girl, as well. He often mentioned how she was his motivation.
This brings me to the celebration in the house. When Charlie Radar poured fluid on Tony, it was meant to be a joke, something lighthearted (not disrespectful).
Tony had just fought, and his emotions were high. Coupled with the introduction of alcohol, and it made for bad decisions.
What Tony said about Charlie's child was uncalled for and overstepped a boundary. Talk about the fighter all you want, but leave the family out of it. It's an unspoken rule, like pitchers who bean someone can expect their teammate to get it next.
It's just tasteless and should not be done.

"Nothing about me without me": An interpretative review of patient accessible electronic health records
International Literature
posted by WM Admin on 30 June 2015
The authors undertook a systematic review of reviews of the impact of giving patients record access from both a patient and health care providers point of view. The review covers a broad range of outcome measures, including patient safety, patient satisfaction, privacy and security, self-efficacy, and health outcome.
Ten reviews covering chronic patients (eg, diabetes and hypertension) and primary care patients, as well as health care providers were found but eight were included for the analysis of outcome measures.
The authors found mixed outcomes across both patient and health care providers groups, with approximately half of the reviews showing positive changes with record access. Patients believe that record access increases their perception of control; however, outcome measures thought to create psychological concerns (such as patient anxiety as a result of seeing their medical record) are still unanswered. Nurses are more likely than physicians to gain time efficiencies by using a patient accessible electronic health records (PAEHRs) system with the main concern from physicians being the security of the PAEHRs.
The authors conclude that there is a lack of rigorous empirical testing that separates the effect of record access from other existing disease management programs. Current research is too targeted within certain clinical groups' needs, and although there are positive signs for the adoption of PAEHRs, there is currently insufficient evidence about the effect of PAEHRs on health outcomes for patients or health care providers.

Those injury-riddled New York Bastard Mets have struggled recently, so this recent road trip could serve as a self-reflective haven for players, coaches, and media. Unless the Pittsburgh hotel they're staying in is having a furry convention.
But according to SNY field announcer Kevin Burkhardt, that's the predicament the team faced when they pulled into their hotel room in Pittsburgh and he was justifiably "freaked out." Yes, the Westin Hotel in Pittsburgh is not only hosting the Mets this week, but Anthrocon 2009, the world's largest convention for people who like to dress in animal costumes.
The Mets managed to pull out a victory against the Brewers yesterday, with a 1-0 shutout courtesy of Mike Pelfrey. But the Mets desperately need a good night's sleep, given their recent injuries and uninspired play, so it can't be any comfort to know their REM-states might be disrupted by two people dressed in badger costumes going at it in the middle of their hallway.
At least Mr. Burkhardt seems to be making the best of the situation:
"I just took a picture with a person who was dressed like Ralph Wigam as a Beaver. I will try to put this on Twitter tomorrow - oh I will try"
Of course he did.

For years, Marcia Merrick began her day making lunches for her two children. Her kids are grown up now, but Ms. Merrick still makes lunches every morning – 400 of them. Each decorated paper bag contains a peanut butter-and-jelly sandwich or a bean burrito, chips, fruit, and two homemade cookies. She also includes a note of encouragement – and then distributes them to the homeless of Kansas City, Mo.
Dubbed the "mother of the streets," Merrick starts every day (Christmas and other holidays included) at 4:30 a.m. so she can finish her preparations and make the 15-minute drive to downtown Kansas City by 6 a.m., the time when most homeless shelters close and their overnight guests are turned out. She also makes stops at homeless encampments tucked away in secluded spots around the fringes of the city, under bridges and highway overpasses, and along the banks of the Missouri River.
Each day is a little different. She gives out half of the 400 lunches in the morning and the rest during a similar afternoon run, before the shelters open again at 4 p.m. The time in between is taken up with other tasks, such as driving someone to a social services office or to court or a health clinic. She also gives away items like clothing and bedding based on individual needs. In addition, Merrick and the volunteers who work with her help some 370 homeless families a year.
Merrick doesn't just feed and clothe the homeless. She talks with them, learns their names, listens to their stories, and gives them hugs and encouraging words. As a result, she's well known on the streets of Kansas City and has the trust of many of the city's homeless.
"Really, the food and clothing I give them is just a way to get into their hearts," she says. "A lot of them want to change, but they don't have ... the knowledge and the emotional support to do that. Some have been on the streets so long they don't even know where to start."
What keeps her going, she says, is the success she has had in helping destitute individuals and families turn their lives around.
Kim and Wayne Hill are one such case. The self-employed house painters found their work all but evaporated when the economy began to sour a few years ago. In time they lost their house and found themselves living with their young son in a family shelter.
That's where they met Merrick. She was able to do many things to help them reclaim a normal life, including helping Mr. Hill receive much needed dental work. She even found painting jobs for the couple.
"I can't begin to tell you everything Marcia did for us," says Mrs. Hill, whose family now lives in an apartment in a large complex, where her husband is the staff painter. "She's so compassionate. She's good at finding that place in your heart that's lacking – any heartache or sadness – and then filling that void. She's the ultimate mother."
Merrick works not only to meet the basic needs of the homeless, but to uphold their dignity and self-respect.
Gloria Brown is the kitchen manager for the City Union Mission Family Center, which provides long-term shelter for homeless families. One Saturday a month, Merrick and a group of volunteers bring food and prepare and serve a breakfast to the residents, who number as many as 120. Ms. Brown says that instead of having the residents line up and receive their food at the serving window, as is customary, Merrick puts out place mats, silverware, and a small vase of flowers on each table. She and her helpers then take the residents' orders.
"They wait on them like they are in a restaurant," Brown says. "She just likes to treat them with respect and let them know that somebody cares about them."
"Marcia serves," says Gary Blakeman, a retiree and volunteer who has worked with Merrick for seven years. "She doesn't just dole out food. She actually serves the homeless. And she does what she does with love. She's truly concerned with their welfare."
Merrick says her work of providing care and hope for society's disadvantaged began when she was in high school in Wichita, Kan. She made several church mission trips, one for an entire summer, where she first encountered large numbers of needy people.
"I realized what a difference it makes in how I felt, caring for other people," she says. "I didn't know it then, but I think I was developing a heart for people who had been shunted aside by society."
Her charitable work took a back seat to her own family for a time. But 10 years ago, when her daughter was 15, Merrick felt the need to resume her caring activities. At first, she matched up friends and acquaintances who had items they were willing to give away with people in need. The recipients were not just the homeless, but also victims of domestic violence, the unemployed, the recently divorced – pretty much anyone she knew of who had a need.
"It kind of snowballed from there," she says. In 2001, as her activity increased and donors asked for tax write-offs, she started a nonprofit, Reaching Out Inc. Today, about 80 percent of her work is for the homeless.
Her organization works with an area church, which provides her with storage space for food, furniture, and supplies. An ever-changing roster of volunteers – school groups, church groups, friends, and acquaintances – help with decorating the bags, putting together hygiene bags (toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, clean pair of socks, and the like), baking cookies, and organizing food and clothing drives. Occasionally, volunteers go out with her on her rounds.
Merrick herself gets by modestly on alimony and a small pension. Circumstances may compel her to return to the paid workforce sometime this summer, which would necessitate an adjustment to her current grueling volunteer schedule. Regardless of what the future holds, she says, she will continue to work on behalf of the homeless in one way or another.
"I truly believe we can make a difference in their lives, and I don't want anybody to ever think that somebody doesn't care," she says. "They're homeless, but they're still human."
