Today, our partner organization the National Employment Law Project is releasing a report titled "Big Business, Corporate Profits, and the Minimum Wage."
You know how the standard talking point among the 1% is that raising the minimum wage is a jobs killer? Why would we put that burden onto small businesses?
Well, NELP's look at the financial conditions of the top fifty low-wage employers in the U.S. revealed that the vast majority (66%) of low-wage workers are employed, not by small businesses, but rather by large corporations with more than 100 employees.
It turns out that the top employers of low-wage workers have largely recovered from the recession—and most are in an even stronger position than before the recession.
Take a look at the report here:
Here are some key findings of NELP's look at the top 50 low-wage employers in the U.S..
- 92 percent were profitable last year
- 78 percent were profitable for the past 3 years
- 75 percent are earning higher revenue now than before the recession
- 63 percent are earning higher profits now than before the recession
- 63 percent have a higher operating margin (a measure of profitability) now than before the recession
- 73 percent have higher cash holdings now than before the recession
Over the past five years, the top 50 low-wage employers in the U.S. returned a stunning $174 billion to shareholders through dividends and share buy-backs.
And in the most recent fiscal year, the top-paid executive at each of these 50 companies was awarded an average $9.4 million in compensation – even as many of their employees are paid at or near the minimum wage (just over $15,000 per year).
The 99% need a raise. And it's easy to see that the 1% can afford it.

Chip Kelly has turned to former Cleveland Browns coaches to fill the two top spots on his coaching staff.
It's been known that Kelly tabbed Pat Shurmur, the former Browns coach, to be his offensive coordinator. CSN Philly reports that Billy Davis, an assistant under Shurmur in Cleveland, will be the team's defensive coordinator.
Davis has been a coordinator before spending two years in the role with the Arizona Cardinals and two years running the defense of the San Francisco 49ers. He's also made stops with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Carolina Panthers, Atlanta Falcons and New York Giants. Davis will become the fifth defensive coordinator in six seasons for the Eagles.
Per the report, Davis' father Bill worked in the Eagles front office in 1988 and 1989. Davis, 47, was a ball boy for the team when Dick Vermeil was head coach.
Davis, who has experience with 3-4 and 4-3 defenses, was originally interviewed for the job on Jan. 28.

Music Releases
Korea's best pop composers face off in January
Although January looks like another fierce month for the multitude of artist comebacks and stages, the hardest work of all is up to the composers themselves - for without a song, the groups cannot make a comeback, and without a good song, the comeback will fall flat. Composer such as Brave Brothers, Sweetune, and others are furiously preparing for a rush of debuts and comebacks.
Already a respected composer in pop music, Brave Brothers has previously composed for SISTAR19, who are gearing up for their comeback. Brave Brothers is already familiar with SISTAR, having delivered hit tracks suck as "Ma Boy", "So Cool", and "Alone".
Sweetune is bringing forth Nine Muses as his strongest hand. Having already composed plenty of hit songs for the girl group - such as "Figaro", "News", and "Ticket", he is planning to take it up another notch with their impending comeback. "The luxuriant and sexy atmosphere of the song is a level above anything you've heard before," teased a representative for Star Empire Entertainment, Nine Muses' parent company. "Hand-in-hand with the unique song, we are preparing an out-of-this-world stage."
The upcoming new subunit of 4minute, currently untitled, but composed of Gayoon and Jiyoon, will be bringing out a fresh track from hit-maker Lee Sang Ho, the composer behind B2ST's "Shock". Their new track is speculated to be in a 'country pop' style, a genre never before seen in Korea.
What song are you most excited to hear?

Israel Infinity leads financing round for Nicast
Israel Infinity Venture Capital invested an estimated $5 million.
3 March 04 14:47, Batya Feldman
Nicast has completed a financing round led by Israel Infinity Venture Capital, which invested an estimated $5 million. Israel Infinity will initially invest $1 million. The round will remain open to more investors.
Founded in 1995, Nicast develops new vascular products, including artery grafts, and coated stents, based on new nano-scale manufacturing technology. TechnoPlus Ventures (TASE:TNPV) and Azritech Fund invested $2 million in Nicast in 2000.
Nicast's first product, a vascular implant, is in the advanced development stage. The implant acts like natural tissue and is accepted by the body, thus avoiding common transplant complications. Company sources have said in recent months that Nicast has been negotiating strategic agreements with leading companies.

Description not set
To understand how fossils are formed, students model the process of fossilization by making fossils using small toy figures and melted chocolate. They extend their knowledge to the many ways that engineers aid in the study of fossils, including the development of tools and technologies for determining the physical and chemical properties of fossilized organisms, and how those properties tell a story of our changing world.
By making and testing simple balloon rockets, students acquire a basic understanding of Newton's third law of motion as it applies to rockets. Using balloons, string, straws and tape, they see how rockets are propelled by expelling gases, and test their rockets in horizontal and incline conditions. They also learn about the many types of engineers who design rockets and spacecraft.
Students learn what a pendulum is and how it works in the context of amusement park rides. While exploring the physics of pendulums, they are also introduced to Newton's first law of motion — about continuous motion and inertia.

many companies acquire this information by themselves.

and manage your own permission marketing lists, or submit or add polls
to your messages,
but this service also adds the possibility to
deliver segmented mailings to your subscriptors at any time.

a message to a specific group of members within a list.
For example, you may decide to send a message only to members
that live in Italy and that are 30 or more years old.
For that purpose, you can request subscribers to enter additional
data when subscribing, such as name, country, age, gender, etc.
and all the additional fields can be configured to be mandatory or not.

Wii Fit is on the verge of becoming the second-highest selling "game" in the US of the last 10 years. IGN reports on NPD data, revealing that Wii Fit has reached 7.9 million sales, passing by Grand Theft Auto: Vice City's 6.9 million and creeping up quickly on Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas' 8.25 million units. The only thing ready to kill Wii Fit's momentum is Wii Fit Plus, which will replace the previous version at retail.
Some out there are probably ready to argue that Wii Fit should not be counted among other games. Yeah, those folks are going to pitch a fit about the top seller: Wii Play. The controller-bundled "software" holds the crown, having reached 11.1 million sales. We can't wait to see how the Vitality Sensor does.

Recently found out Tiffanys is under new owners and management, and boy is it true!! :) went in there over the weekend to try it out. The food was delicious, my husband and i both ordered the stuffed french toast, with warm syrup and soft butter..JUST TALKING ABOUT IT IS MAKING MY MOUTH WATERY, THATS HOW DELICIOUS IT REALLY WAS...The... More
Tiffany's may be a good place to eat but they aren't customer friendly. They closed early because they weren't busy and we had about 10 people who wanted to eat there after a long bus ride.
I liked the atmosphere, and my food looked and tasted great. I really enjoyed how each course came on time and with enough time to finish before the next course was served.
Stayed at the Comfort Inn across the lot, so Tiffany's was very convenient for breakfast. I was with a group. When more of our group would show up, the staff would just help us put more tables together. They also did not mind our separate checks. The food is good "family restaurant" food - basic, not gourmet. It was great... More
I stayed in Comfort Inn across the street. The service is wonderful, a bit slow (but that's the chef). The food is delicious and the staff is very helpful. There's a lot of food on plates. For example, I bought a bacon and cheese burger for 8.89.- but this includes fries or fruit or coleslaw AND a soup. Plus the... More
We stayed at the Comfort Inn right across from the hotel. The soup is good, and they usually have two you can choose from. It gets a little expensive if you have to eat all your meals there!
my first plate had hardened grease on it-the second had hair. i tried to stay optimistic but the food wasn't great and when the waiter put uneatened rolls from other tables back in their warmer to serve again that was enough to say 'never again'.
Went in for breakfast this morning. We were told breakfast was over, it was 11:25. So we asked what the soup of the day was and the manager? had to go find out. When he returned he told us but said it wouldn't be ready till lunchtime; at 12. So I asked if we could still order breakfast then to... More

Albuquerque's high desert location makes for clear skies and calm weather much of the year. This spring, it will be the place to be for astronomy buffs and amateur star gazers alike. Two astronomical "close encounters" will take place - and both are visible in Albuquerque.
On Sunday, May 20, 2012 there is an unusual solar event called an "annular eclipse." During an annular eclipse, the moon covers most of the sun's disk leaving a thin ring of light around the edge. Albuquerque is one of only a few places to see it, and is the most convenient viewing location to travel to. Photo by sancho_panza, Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Generic license.
Another solar event will take place just two weeks later on Tuesday, June 5th. This event is a Transit of Venus; where the planet Venus visibly and slowly moves across the disk of the sun. This won't happen again until 2117. If you miss this, you will never see it again in your lifetime...and it is also viewed perfectly in Albuquerque.
Some sites are optimal for viewing the annular eclipse, but will not be offering educational speakers or events.
Sandia Peak Tramway will be operating their regular schedule on May 20th making trips every 20-25 minutes throughout the day on a first come, first serve basis. Hours 9am– 8pm (last car uphill) with downhill trips until all guests are down. They will have special eclipse viewing glasses available for purchase. High Finance Restaurant (505-242-9052) and Sandiago's Mexican Grill (505-856-6692) will be taking reservations for dinner last seating 8pm. www.sandiapeak.com
Safety, safety, safety is the main issue for both these events. Solar viewing glasses or special pinhole cameras are needed for safe viewing of the annular eclipse. Do NOT look directly at the sun.
Learn more about safety procedures for viewing the eclipse from the National Park Service.
Book a Solar Eclipse Hospitality Room with a great view of the sunset and dinner for up to 40 people. Also, inquire about Club Level Rooms located on the 15th floor for spectacular views. Call the hotel to book: (505) 843-7000.

Vandalism At The Supreme Court
I'm not entirely sure why anyone would want to steal letters from the nice sign on the men's room door on the ground floor of the U.S. Supreme Court, but they did.
As you can see from this picture, what used to be the men's room is now the n's room.
Perhaps Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., who appears to fancy himself as something of a crack detective, could look into the case.

Mandragore unisex fragrance!
Annick Goutal Mandragore Eau de Toilette
Member Name: aclevername
Annick Goutal Mandragore Eau de Toilette
Date: 21/12/12
Advantages: Nice bottle, smells nice, unisex, not too expensive
Disadvantages: Bottle colouring comes off onto skin when touching it with wet hands
I had not heard of Annick Goutal until I received Mandragore eau de toilette in a beauty box a while ago.
It was a 25ml bottle that I received. It came in a dark purple organza pouch with a tag on with a list of the ingredients and details of the website, www.annickgoutal.com.
~ Bottle ~
It seems this is a unisex scent and there is a tall rounded bottle for women and a square, more masculine bottle for men. The bottle that I received, despite being a woman, was the men's version.
The bottle is just over an inch wide and an inch and a half tall. It is an almost black glass bottle, which I quite like. When I hold the bottle up to the light, which I have only just discovered, it appears a deep purple pink colour.
The front of the bottle has gold vine patterns on and the word, 'Mandragore' in an italic, joined up font and at the bottom of the bottom 'ANNICK GOUTAL' is written and 'PARIS' is written underneath in smaller letters.
The lid of the bottle is a plain gold coloured cylinder, which almost doubles the height of the bottle. The lid is over an inch tall and when removed the spray button sits around an inch above the bottle. It looks a bit odd with the lid off, but I like the long lid of the bottle.
I really like this perfume bottle, but I am a bit disappointed to have just found that if your fingers are wet when you touch this bottle, the dark purple colour comes off onto your fingertips, which is irritating and I'd be worried about whether or not it would come out, if you got it on your clothing.
~ Price and availability ~
The square, men's version of the bottle is available online at www.fragranceshop.com for £33.65 (with free delivery) for a 100ml bottle of Mandragore.
The rounded women's version of this fragrance is available at www.fragranceshop.com for £41.45 for 100ml.
The women's version is also available in a 50ml bottle, which I have found online at www.perfumelover.co.uk for £43.20 (with free delivery).
It is also available as an eau de parfum.
~ Scent ~
The scent, to me is a herbal scent. It is officially described as a woody, aromatic fragrance.
The scent has top notes of bergamot and pepper, heart notes of mint, star anise, ginger, sage and iris and base notes of boxwood and labdanum.
At first, sniffing at the bottle, I thought this was going to be too spicy and heavy for my tastes, but it's more of a herbal than a spicy scent to me and I like it. I can also detect a citrusy element to it.
I think it is quite a versatile scent suitable for both daytime wear and special occasions and nights out. I think it would appeal to women (and men) of all ages as well. It is obviously not a feminine scent, but personally I wouldn't say it strikes me as particularly masculine.
It is a unique fragrance and I haven't smelled another perfume that I could compare it to.
I really like this scent and I haven't used it a lot. I will probably save it for special occasions since I have just 25 precious ml.
~ Overall ~
Overall, I really like this perfume. It has a herbal and citrus scent to it, which is not too harsh. The bottle is lovely, but it's a shame about the purple colour coming off onto my hands.
I would buy this perfume again and would recommend it. I don't tend to like spicy scents, but I personally, would class this as more of a herby scent and really like it! I'd say, try a tester if you get the chance.
Summary: 4 star fragrance!

List of Participants
List of Organizing Committee
We are delighted to invite you to 4th IBA Mergers and Acquisitions in Russia and CIS Conference, proven to be one of the most significant events related to M&A practice in the Russian and foreign business market. In 2011, 270 mergers and acquisitions resulting in the change or appearance of a majority owner, were registered in the Russian M&A market. Market volume subsequently reached $17.39 billion. Foreign investors remain interested in Russian assets; however, due to the unsecure nature of some of the world's largest economies it is clear that there is a 'wait-and-see' attitude among financiers. From this, many pertinent questions arise for potential investors; shall we wait for a considerable increase in market volumes in 2012-2013? Which factors have the strongest effect on the development of the M&A market in Russia and the CIS? In which economic sectors is M&A activity expected to be the highest? Which amendments will be made to the corporate and antitrust legislation this year? These issues, as well as all aspects of M&A transactions, shall be discussed at this event, with expert inputs and commentaries provided by leading global specialists in the sphere of M&A and major investment bankers. Who should attend? Legal advisers involved in M&A projects, corporate lawyers, in-house lawyers, heads of legal departments, economists, M&A specialists, company executives, investment bankers, investment managers interested in development of their global distribution, government officials and regulators, and all those interested in M&A in Russia and the CIS.

Non-conference record: 15-26
Non-conference record vs. FBS opponents: 12-25
Non-conference record vs. FBS automatic qualifiers: 3-18
C-USA in the polls: AP Writers – None; USA Today Coaches – None
Trending Up
Middle Tennessee – The first season in a new conference is always difficult. The Blue Raiders weathered a tough C-USA debut game to win their first conference contest against Florida Atlantic, a team probably talented enough to be a tough out for most C-USA teams.
Four games into the season, MTSU is halfway to the magical six-win mark for bowl eligibility. And with the conference schedule ahead, the Raiders look like a solid contender to reach the bowl it could get to as a member of the Sun Belt.
Tommy Shuler – Everyone in Lane Stadium, especially the Virginia Tech defense, knew the Marshall wide receiver was going to get the ball thrown his way. And against one of the best secondaries in college football, he caught 10 passes for 120 yards. To put it in perspective, Shuler's receiving total was just 38 fewer yards than East Carolina's total passing yards against the Hokies. That's impressive.
Combine an insane work ethic with his ability to find holes in coverage and his close relationship with quarterback Rakeem Cato, and Shuler becomes one of the toughest guys in the league to defend.
UTSA – As others wrote this weekend, the Roadrunners won one more C-USA game than anyone figured they'd win this season in beating UTEP, 32-13. Let's be honest, UTSA likely won't have the season MTSU will have as a conference newcomer. Playing Houston, Marshall and Rice over the next three weeks won't help. But if the Roadrunners, a team that played its first game ever in 2011, can flirt with the six-win mark sometime this season, they should look at that as a big first step.
Trending Down
Tulane special teams – A pair of blocked punts gave Syracuse the ball on the Green Wave 6 and 17 on a pair of first-half drives. The Orange scored touchdowns on both in a 52-17 Tulane loss. Then the Green Wave couldn't keep Syracuse from blocking a Cairo Santos field goal. Any way you slice it, that's just awful.
Jamiell Showers – The UTEP quarterback isn't asked to do much with his arm, but maybe that's because he hasn't done much when he has used it. The Miners are tied for 108th in the FBS with 163.7 passing yards per game. And against a UTSA team that wasn't even a team before 2011, he completed 17 of 31 passes for just 119 yards, a paltry 3.8 yards per attempt. You'd wonder whether UTEP could win a game this season … until you remembered that Florida International is on the schedule.
FIU – I know, I know. I said last week I wouldn't put the Panthers back on this list unless they did something epically awful. I think losing 72-0 to Louisville fits that bill.
It got so bad that reports emerged that FIU Coach Ron Turner asked for a running clock in the third quarter, something you see in high school blowouts. He didn't, but the fact that rumor was even considered plausible tells you all you need to know about FIU's prospects this season. The Panthers are neck and neck with Georgia State as the FBS' worst football team. Pete Garcia fired Mario Cristobal for this? And how much longer should Garcia hold his job?

South Korea group lands $40B nuclear deal with UAE
A consortium of South Korean companies secured a deal worth $40 billion to construct and run four nuclear reactors in the United Arab Emirates, outclassing rival bidders from the U.S. and France. The first plant is slated for a 2017 startup, and the group seeks to finish the 1,400-megawatt reactors by 2020. Reuters
1 comment:
"Combined cycle gas turbine plants need only about one third as much engineered cooling as normal thermal plants, since much heat is discharged in the turbine exhaust.
In a coal-fired or conventionally gas-fired plant it is possible to run the internal boilers at higher temperatures than those with finely-engineered nuclear fuel assemblies which must avoid damage. The external consideration gives rise to desirably siting power plants alongside very cold water.*
* Many power plants, fossil and nuclear, have higher net output in winter than summer due to differences in cooling water temperature."
"Plants operating in hot climates may have to reduce output if their source of condenser cooling water becomes warmer; unfortunately this usually coincides with periods of high electrical demand for air conditioning."

Gov. James E. McGreevey today named a Republican state senator, John J. Matheussen, to lead the Delaware River Port Authority, removing a popular Republican from the evenly divided Senate.
Senator Matheussen's district in South Jersey has become an increasingly Democratic area, and could be closely contested in the legislative elections this year as both parties focus on taking control of the Senate. The State Assembly is comfortably controlled by the Democrats.
Nonetheless, Republicans expect to replace Mr. Matheussen with another well-known legislator, George F. Geist, a six-term Assembly member who was the top vote-getter among the four candidates who ran for the district's two Assembly seats in 2001.
If Mr. McGreevey's recommendation is accepted by the Port Authority board, Mr. Matheussen will become the chief executive of the bistate authority. By tradition, the governor of New Jersey appoints the chief executive and the governor of Pennsylvania chooses the chairman of the 16-member board. Last week, Pennsylvania's new governor, Edward G. Rendell, named himself chairman.

Media outlets duped by bogus polls
Published: March 19, 2010 at 7:37 am
Regardless of what you may have read elsewhere, no one has a decisive lead in the GOP primary race to replace Congressman John Shadegg, who is retiring at the end of the year. There have been three "polls" released by candidates in the race so far, and none of them are worth a lick.
Nor are they worth reporting on as news – much less fact – yet there has been a disturbing trend in the Arizona political media to parrot the results of these "polls," even though nothing about them should pass the smell test.
Take the "poll" results released by Jim Waring Feb. 11 that showed 50 percent of 3rd Congressional District voters would choose him, dwarfing his nearest competitor, Pamela Gorman, who pulled in about 27 percent. Local media foolishly pounced on the story and reported the numbers that were in the press release. Dennis Welch of the Arizona Guardian wrote Waring had "a commanding lead," James King at the Phoenix New Times unquestioningly wrote he "holds a double-digit lead" over his competition, and The Arizona Republic national political reporter Dan Nowicki regurgitated the results that showed Waring has "a big early lead" in the race. Even nationally respected political news outlets like Real Clear Politics helped push the Waring camp's fairy tale that he was the early favorite.
Only my colleague Luige del Puerto pointed out the truth behind the poll: Its numbers were fantastically incomplete, as nearly three- quarters of the 300 people polled were undecided.
The political media here continued to irresponsibly report other bogus poll numbers in the race. A Feb. 25 "poll" of 1,000 voters released by Vernon Parker's campaign showed he trailed Waring by a single point, 16 percent to 17 percent, with Ben Quayle close behind at 15 percent.
Unlike Waring's poll, this one noted 41 percent of those surveyed were undecided, though that number is still alarmingly small for a poll conducted six months before a primary election in which none of the candidates are household names.
Once again, local media helped a candidate by reporting phony numbers.
Welch and King even noted how different the results of the Parker and Waring polls were, yet they didn't even attempt to explain why. King went so far as to attribute the drop to Quayle entering the race.
On March 10, Waring's campaign released another "poll" that should have been ignored. It wasn't, as Welch again wrote a dispatch that gave the survey – like the first, conducted by GOP campaign firm Summit Consulting Group – credibility it doesn't deserve. He noted that the report's authors acknowledged there were "a high number of undecided" voters, but he didn't report those numbers.
Arizona Capitol Times chose to cover none of those "polls," outside of del Puerto writing about the flaws in the first one. Why? For starters, they wouldn't release additional information about the polling, like the questions that were asked, demographic breakdowns of those surveyed, margin of error, and cross-tabs. Any valid poll will readily release that information, and an unwillingness to do so should set off warning sirens for journalists.
Those are important things for reporters to look for when evaluating polls, said Tom Jensen, the director of Public Policy Polling. His firm works across the country and is considered one of the more reputable pollsters.
"The No. 1 thing reporters should look for is transparency," Jensen said.
More than anything else, the wording of the questions – all of them asked of respondents, not just the one or two cited in a press release – determines the validity of the polls. Did the poll include pass- throughs, where voters are told bits of information about each candidate to see how those surveyed react? Those are commonplace for internal campaign polls, as they can help shape strategy, but they don't make for reliable results and should serve as a red flag.
The questions can also reveal if the poll is, in fact, a push-poll, which isn't designed to produce valid numbers as much as it is aimed at poisoning the respondents' views of a candidate by asking unflattering questions.
Finding out who paid for the poll also is critical, said pollster Bob Moore of Oregon-based Moore Information. If a candidate has paid for it, then the numbers can't be taken at face value, he said, and reporters should do everything they can to speak to the pollster about the results, not someone working with the campaign.
"The pollster may get some numbers that the campaign doesn't like, and won't release," Moore said.
Unfortunately, it's likely we will continue to see spurious poll results being reported as the campaign season drags on. Jensen said it is "very frustrating" for reputable pollsters to see obviously disingenuous – if not fraudulent – polls being swallowed hook, line and sinker by reporters who accept the results at face value.
"As long as that happens, people will continue to do it," he said.

One Response to "Media outlets duped by bogus polls"
Daniel Digerness Says:
March 19th, 2010 at 9:25 amIsn't fact checking the first thing taught to journalism majors. How can reporters, and for that matter editors, publish polls without calling into question the source of the data and requiring that the full results of each poll be provided prior to writing one word regarding who is in the lead? This is irresponsible journalism. The reputability of the Arizona Guardian, Phoenix New Times and The Arizona Republic is at question, and from what I can tell the journalists who reported on the polls and their editors deserve to be fired, or at their very least a retraction made, for not fact checking their story to the fullest. I understand that most news sources are understaffed and underfunded, but that does not mean that they should skip corners and take everything presented to them at face value. The public relies on these sources for information and when falsehoods are reported it damages the political process and gives certain candidates an unfair advantage. There many fine candidates that are running for the seat in CD3 they all deserve an equal shake in the public eye.

Physician-Patient Care Alerts leverage Matria's electronic health records and industry-leading informatics capabilities to: * Screen proactively for care gaps by analyzing medical, pharmacy, laboratory and other pertinent claims data. * Notify physicians of a broad range of critical care gaps, including sub-optimal and duplicate therapies, drug noncompliance noncompliance failure of the owner to follow instructions, particularly in administering medication as prescribed; a cause of a less than expected response to treatment. noncompliance , early therapy discontinuation and missing screening/preventive measures. As reported in the National Healthcare Quality Report and National Healthcare Disparities Report, both released in 2006 by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, n.pr formerly known as the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research, this agency researches the quality of medical care and health services. (AHRQ AHRQ, n.pr See Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. ) of the Department of Health & Human Services, providers are missing important chances to help Americans avoid disease and costly complications. Physician-Patient Care Alerts is a unique and comprehensive solution designed to close costly care gaps. "Health plans and employers are increasingly looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment. Antithesis of in touch with. solutions to further enable physicians to improve patient outcomes," says Richard M. Hassett, M.D., president and chief operating officer Chief Operating Officer (COO) The officer of a firm responsible for day-to-day management, usually the president or an executive vice-president. . "Physician-Patient Care Alerts provide a cost-effective way to effectively notify physicians about care gaps across an entire population. Combined with our other integrated health enhancement solutions, Physician-Patient Care Alerts will enable physicians to improve the health of their patients." Results show that in a single year, Physician-Patient Care Alerts can identify 250,000 care gaps in populations of one million participants, with a higher incidence in elderly populations. Applied to millions of individuals nationwide, the program can significantly reduce noncompliance, potentially reducing serious and costly health consequences typically absorbed by health plans and employers. The National Healthcare Quality Report and National Healthcare Disparities Report both state that the use of preventive care and screenings lags significantly behind other healthcare gains. For example, only about 52 percent of adults reported receiving recommended colorectal cancer screenings - when about 56,000 Americans die from colorectal cancer each year, more lives than are lost to breast cancer and AIDS combined.

Red area around tip of ***** and minor pussing?
Last year I went to the doctor where I was found to have a UTI. I was tested for STDs which came back negative as well. My doctor also put my on an antibiotic that clears up UTIs and STDs (this was while we waited for the test results). About a week later I called the doctor and she said it was just a UTI and to finish off the antibiotics as scheduled.
Now, a year to a year and a half later I've noticed a red circle about 1/2" wide around the opening of my ***** and I have had puss leaking out of the opening of the *****. I have no pain at all, no itching, no swelling of the testicles and no increase in urination habits whatsoever.
I have been having sex with the same girl for the last 2 1/2 years so I don't believe it would be an STD, nor am I ruling out the possibility. This has been going on for the last 3 days (since Monday). The tip where it is red is also more "wrinkly" than the rest of the head of the *****.
Lastly, for the last (at least) year or so I've noticed a constant odor from my urine (I can smell it while I stand to urinate). It smells very similar to shrimp.
And as a side note, two years ago this summer I had a moment where I was extremely shaky and could hardly walk straight. I felt like I was drunk walking around (I was outside @ Hampton Beach in NH walking the boardwalks). We grabbed a quick sandwich and I started feeling progressively better. I find now that a small piece of candy "cures" this shaking routine. It happens most notably when I haven't eaten in a long period of time (if I eat breakfast @ 8:30A I'm shaking my 3:00P which is usually when I take my lunch break).
Could these problems be related? I've pondered the facts of Diabetes and Hypo/Hyperglycemia but I forgot to mention to my doctor at my last visit (1 year + ago).

Since 1938 Wohop has serviced many New Yorkers for their Chinese craving; the type of Chinese food you think of with sesame chicken dripping in thick sauces, fast service, and hand made dumplings made during a busy lunch hour. It is the type of Chinese food you order during a stay-in-movie night, takeout cravings of thick noodles in cornstarch, molding to the shape of the take-out carton visible during a second round of microwave heatups. Regardless, if your a fan of oily and thick Chinese food, the place was crowded at 3PM with a line climbing the flight of stairs from its basement dwelling to the street. What really shocked me, and rather disturbed me, was that all of the eaters were not from the neighborhood; tourists from Ohio, suited men from City Hall, etc. and that immediately told me what type of food to expect.
We started with Roast Pork, a simple appetizer, large thinly sliced pieces drenched in oil and its own drippings. Juicy, slightly overcooked, not too salty and lots of it.
Our first entree was Chicken Chow Mein glistening in the harsh fluorescent lights. A mish mosh of chinese crispy noodles, bean sprouts and chicken. There was not a lot of flavor except for the bitter taste of bean sprouts.
My egg omelette with mushrooms and chicken does not look particularly appetizing in this picture, but I was satisfied. Unfold a layer of egg and steam willl rise from its core revealing large pieces of (dry) chicken, and fans of mushrooms. The gelatinous sauce will cling to each morsel dredged from the bottom, but don't be disheartened because the taste made it the best dish of the lunch.
Ready for dessert, my mother and I wandered into Little Italy to visit a favorite bakery of mine, in search of their Amaretto cookies.
Introduced to me by thefattyreader, I have fallen in love with the puffed centers, crispy edges and subtle sugar of these cookies. Munching on multiple pillows of almond, we happened to pass by the store titled "The Best Chocolate Cake in the World." Well, with a title like that my mom was intrigued and so was I. We sat down in the small air conditioned room (thank god) and ordered ourselves iced coffee and a slice of their 70% dark chocolate cake.
What people might find unusual or different of this chocolate cake, is the meringue layer coarsing through the middle of spongy cake and soft ganache. The meringue makes the cake a lot sweeter than expected. I was not a fan, but the cake was not bad. The top was a creamy-melt-in-your-mouth layer of dark chocolate, which I peeled from the top immediately and deviantly ate before my mother. Not the best, but not the worst chocolate cake I've ever had.

Distilling Digital Content
There is no question that technology has become a critical component in our classrooms. In order to meet 21st century learning expectations, teachers need to be able to quickly select digital content with confidence that it is both relevant and that it addresses state standards.
There are various educational publishers with multimedia platforms that deliver and distribute content digitally--offering access to thousands of video titles across the curriculum for all ages.

Burning Question
Reading Skills: Is there a difference between online and offline reading?
Is there a difference in skills between online reading and reading a piece off a piece of paper? Yes, they are different skills and they need to be taught separately.
The basics of decoding skills are and should be still in the domain of the home, classroom and paper. Decoding a system of symbolic representations of a spoken language is something we normally start doing very young, hopefully with the help of our parents.
In depth or "deep reading" is a learned skill for good readers in any media, it is used to gain deeper meaning and comprehension of a text block. We use it when researching detailed information or read difficult sections of a text. The question arises if our "old school" methods of comprehension can handle the challenges of reading electronic text.
