NEW investment cases and ROI of specialty Medical Education.
NEW sections on Health Care Reform: Path Dependence and the emergence of an "Obama Plan"
NEWLY REVISED Chapter 18: United States on the cusp of a major change in health care and medical financing—the potential for change, and the well-grounded expectation that any changes will grow out of what has come before (a process known as "path dependence") is addressed. Also includes forecasts, a brief introduction to behavioral economics, the dynamics of technological change, the expansion of welfare to include "happiness" and alternative valuations of "GDP," disequilibrium, and some other issues that are now at the forefront of contemporary economics research.
Updated WWW references are used throughout the text to provide access to current material. There are links to a variety of major sources of health economics data and commentary such as the NCHS, WHO, OECD, CDC, CMS, GAO, and others.
- Basic principles and concepts as tools for economic analysis presented in Chapters 1 & 2.
- Traces the flow of funds through the system to illustrate ownership and incentives.

Anybody ever use Ooma Phone System?
i wanna get one for my mom, but the internet they have isnt the best DSL, like if somebody gets on their laptop to browse facebook, then my online gaming begins to lag. im just wondering if this would cause lag in things like that? and if its even worth buying?
I have AT&T DSL Uverse, the 3MBPS package and it seems to do fine while I'm downloading movies and music AND have a VPN into work, all at the same time.
As for the service, it's great. Does all the things that PacBell used to do but you only pay $3-4/month for the taxes for the base package. I bought it last time it was on woot and have probably broken even if not more.
The downside is that if you have internet connections or power outage, your DSL and Ooma service will go too. Your corded land line (not cordless phones) gets its own power from the phone line so it'll still work.
@tucnguyen: I just read, but haven't tried yet, that a ups will power both the ooma and a cordless phone during outages, of some duration.
OP: I haven't noticed any issues re: lag, but I am not a heavy resource user, no gaming, little streaming. It might save you enough to upgrade speed. I just got my 1st, post ooma bill from u-verse, sure is nice($3.50 here, too), and no issues w/ faxing or call quality.
Over 4.5 years never a problem and being an early user I have no monthly bill.

I watched various religious groups after hurricane Sandy clearing debris, distributing clothes, food, rebuilding etc. for victims.I didn´t see any atheist groups doing that.An atheist is a person who looks at the night sky full of stars and declares himself to be the biggest thing there, and that all of that was an accident.
Why does the claim of offense by one [atheist, Muslim, homosexual, whatever] automatically justify and require the full force of the state to impose a "remedy" on the entire remainder of the population? Has no one else noticed that perhaps millions on the other side of Matter X might be as, or even more, legitimately offended? Yet they have no standing, get no hearing, are never supported?
They´re jealous because they don´t have a holiday, and they don´t want us to have one...
Ever taken your child down to the Atheist Children´s Hospital ?
I beg to differ #4, they do have a holiday: April 1st = April fools day.Psalm 14:1 Only fools say in their hearts, There is no God.
It´s telling in the number of atheists that latched onto the comments section of Doug Giles essay. Militant atheism is a religion unto itself and expects their view to be the official one of government. They claim to be freethinkers, yet are myopic about the existence, or not, of a Supreme Being.
Amen! What number 6 said!
Recently, at a gathering, a person professing to be an Atheist blew his cover.He was yaking it up on all the stuff he read and was taught by yuppy mom and pop.I asked if he had ever heard of Pascals Wager. He said no! Any true atheist would know about that "Famous Wager". My point? Most who clain they are atheist are phonies.
Just as there are lots of different kinds of liberals, there are lots of different kinds of atheists. The ones that attract attention are the militant, litigious, attention seeking kind, whose personal dynamics obviously include factors other than abstract love of reason etc. Many appear to be angry, maladjusted exhibitionists. There are and always have been scads of silent, private atheists who do not feel a compulsion to advertise their personal beliefs nor to impose them upon others. The small vociferous radical and militant minority of atheists causing all the hubbub consists of people with personal problems they are trying to solve by hiding them behind alleged social issues, a dynamic that is by no means confined to militant atheists but is found with remarkable regularity among militants for all causes. Such personal pathology does not, of course, by itself mean that they are necessarily wrong about whatever they happen to be crusading for or against - but it is well to keep in mind that such types are always driven by forces of disorder and destruction, some of which have nothing at all to do with the rationalizations offered for their righteous indignation and aggressive anti-social behavior. The courts and the national media lend them a force multiplier far in excess of their actual numbers and potency. The inability or unwillingness of society to contain, resist, and neutralize these internal pathogens is also an indicative of a weakened cultural immune system.
Since atheists believe that this is the only life they have, why would they want to live it fighting religious belief? Why would they want to waste their time? There is no logic to their actions. You would think these people would have a live and let live approach to the subject, not wanting to waste any of their one and only life bothering with believers.
Taking this article seriously is just as ridiculous as taking seriously a writeup by an athiest about why religious people are ´foolish´ enough to believe.I lived on both sides of that fence. And when I was an atheist-scientist, I resented religions for brainwashing their people into a semi-stupor that sapped their intellect, siphoned their resources, and imprisoned them in guilt-ridden neuroses and self-hatred.Some people may have become atheists out of resentment against the truth of God. Many, though, likely resent what they see as the big lie of religion, and the injustice of convincing others to believe lies. Others choose atheism in response to what they see as a hypocritical, fraudulent church.Most of us resent the MSM for brainwashing the masses on the virtues of socialism, the evils of capitalism, and the menace of global warming. A similar dynamic drives many atheists´ resentment toward religion and religious holidays.
I think they like the publicity that their complaints generate.
And I want to take this opportunity to thank my observant Jewish friends who have worked for me on my shift on Christmas and Christmas Eve, so I can be with my family. I will be honored if I can work for you next Passover."Love your neighbor as yourself." Leviticus 19:18b
Athiests need to get over it. Do we Christians sue you every time you ´don´t praise a deity...yourself?
Well done, #10.This is easy math, folks: A person who has no remorse and thus no desire to repent from their sins is probably not going to be a big advocate for the celebration of the person who reminds them they're wrong and calls them to repent and believe.When I was an Atheist, I thought the rest of you were stupid to believe this fairy tale of a Jewish carpenter born of a virgin, dying for our sins and being resurrected so that we may be, also. My main motivating factor was as Doug Giles describes it -- not wanting to give up my personal sins. That wasn´t "phony", #9, because I had never heard of Pascal´s Wager, either. I was a genuine Atheist. All that has changed, of course.Changing from Atheism to Christianity takes not only reason, but God´s will in the matter. If you are not chosen by God to be a Believer, you won´t be. That has nothing to do with one´s merit but only with God´s grace. That´s why it´s called grace./sermon
I used to be an agnostic but now I just don´t know.
I feel sorry for atheists who seem a pretty joyless bunch on any level. There is nothing more grounding or rewarding than to live in God´s grace and know that there is life to look forward to beyond this earthly time.
I´m an atheist who is not offended at all by Christmas or Hannukah. I don´t mind manger scenes on government property nor the Ten Commandments in courthouses. Voluntary prayer in public schools is just fine with me. I am not at all like the rabid, militant atheists. I look forward to Christmas every year: my wife alwys gets me some great loot!! ;-)However, I´ve had many proclaimed devout Christians wishing death on me on these threads for pointing out the truth of biological evolution.So much for their beliefs in tolerance. Or brotherhood. Or the sanctity of human life. They remind me of people they supposedly hate, the rabid Islamist terrorists.I admit I have zero tolerance for Islam - a fascist political system masquerading as a gutter religion.
I have long given up on trying to "enlighten" anyone who is stuck on stupid.Now I just act Christ-like and hope they ask why I´m so joyful.
You can always tell if it is an atheist´s funeral, All dressed up, and no where to go!Uncle Cliffie
Bet they don´t reject Christmas bonuses and the paid day off.
#1 - and you won´t. The closest thing we saw after Katrina were the Buddhists.There weren´t many, but some came.
I love Christmas lights.They remind me of the numb-nuts who voted for Obama.They all hang together;half of them don't work,and the ones that do, aren't all that bright.For those who understand, no explanation is needed.For those who do not understand, no explanation is possible.
Although athiests don´t understand the authentic Joy of Christmas time, the true Reason for the Season, they do like to experience the feelings & emotions of the season, ie. the good cheer, happiness and general goodwill associated with it! ...They just don´t want ANYONE to associate, ´´Christmas,´´ with either Christ nor Mass/church.There apparently aren´t many authentic athiests but it is their right to make that choice in the free land. However, the exhibitionist activists among them sure like to grab the willing dem media´s microphone and agitate people of faith, eh? ...Happens every legal holiday, in the public square, in schools & graduations, in the military and, etc.. The busybodies come out as regularly at the swallows at Capistrano! sighThis is the USA!!! ´´Land of the free and home of the brave!´´ ...Whatever happened to our admirable, even noble, concept of, ´´live & let live?´´ We used to hear that often but now, not so much. More´s the pity.
Wonderful testimony #16. I am blessed reading your words. Unmerited grace is exactly what Doug Giles is talking about. Our salvation came to us through Christ´s birth and death, and his birth really is a promise of a new life. No wonder the Christmas story is a time of rejoicing and even some non-believers sense the hope that message brings.Easter, however, is a different matter. Few understand that message; only those whom God has called to himself.
The Lord lives and answers sinners´ prayers. he is here for us. This witness was an atheist once. I wasn´t clever enough to remain one.
Speaking of Atheists and funerals #21 my sister went to her SNL`s fathers funeral just last month, she said that it was the strangest one she ever attended...and wished she hadn`t.There was no mention of where he was going, no mention of God (of course) there was no music or songs, and not one tear was shed, not even from his wife of 50 yrs, nor from his eight children and many grandchildren, friends or foe.She said there was a huge crowd there as he was very well know in the area, but that all seem to be having a good time laughing and joking.She come away stunned and told her older daughter -in detail -what kind of funeral she wanted!! She wants the saddest funeral songs sang and God to be mentioned every other word, she also, expressed that she wants ever eye to be wet with tears.She sure has changed from someone who (used) to want a quite, private funeral with no viewing except family, and closed casket.Oh! forgot to mention the fellow who passedaway was cremated, not that THAT is a bad thing LOL
Yes, and amen, #2.
As I may have mentioned once or twice in these threads, I am a Wiccan. I have been for almost 20 years and am quite happy and enlightened with my beliefs. Those beliefs are neither Athiest nor Satanic. We do believe in God, we just perceive Her a little differently than Christians do.Like many people, I do get a bit annoyed at people witnessing to me. I am glad they found their spiritual path and I would never tell them they will boil in eternal agony if they don´t accept mine. I appreciate the same courtesy.Neither would I tell anyone they cant display Christmas decorations anywhere they want. I realize I am a minority. What I want matters in my own house. No place else.I guess my point is, there is room in the conservative tent for all sorts of people. We just have to quit letting a few block the door.
I went through an self-destructive, agnostic period of my own after I lost my sister to cancer. She was young & beautiful and it should never have happened - I was angry at God because he took away my best friend. Soon after, I was listening to an interview on talk radio where the late Fr. Malachi Martin was taking questions from athiests. His gentle understanding of their anger at God really touched me -he explained to them that they were all hurt & bewildered by tragedy and if there was no God, just who were they angry with? & further, why such bitterness if it really ends for all of us at the grave? He also pointed out that the fact that they were challenging a catholic priest meant that they really didn´t have the question settled in their minds, yet. I started to believe again when I figured out that whoever designed us made us each, unique but the one enduring constant we all share is the quest for love - we ALL seek it our whole lives & it is the reason that we grieve. That is what convinced me we are divinely made and eternal.
There are hundreds of religions along with many other belief systems that either deny any formal religion or believe in something that doesn´t even remotely fit with "religion" as most people think of it.Within each of these thousands of groups are millions of individuals who may be treating their group belief system as a smorgasbord...picking and chosing what to believe...and maybe bringing some of their own home brew to the table.I rather suspect that none in any group of people inside any belief system is in total lockstep with even one other member of their group.Instead of squabbling about belief systems, wouldn´t it be better to "Hope for the Best, Fear for the Worst"?
It seems like with any small group today the squeaky wheel gets the grease.Life as Americans have know it is changing, so why be bitter and bicker constantly ?
Examples of those who pursue Lowest Common Vulgar factors, i.e that minorities regardless of their size have the right to trump the rights of the majority in the name of freedom..
I´m with #10. Some atheists are just atheists, others are anti-religious activists acting out for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that those on the hard left see a problem in people being guided by God when they want the state (and themselves) to be doing all the guiding.
I find great fun in reminding my athiest of the Holyday season. Spelling it that way on purpose. I don´t believe he is really an athiest, though, more progressive agnostic though... Still fun to "tweak" him.

Booker T. Washington: Up From Slavery: An AutobiographyChapter 13. Two Thousand Miles For A Five-Minute Speech (continued)While pursuing this policy I have not failed, at the proper time and in the proper manner, to call attention, in no uncertain terms, to the wrongs which any part of the South has been guilty of. I have found that there is a large element in the South that is quick to respond to straightforward, honest criticism of any wrong policy. As a rule, the place to criticise the South, when criticism is necessary, is in the South--not in Boston. A Boston man who came to Alabama to criticise Boston would not effect so much good, I think, as one who had his word of criticism to say in Boston. In this address at Madison I took the ground that the policy to be pursued with references to the races was, by every honourable means, to bring them together and to encourage the cultivation of friendly relations, instead of doing that which would embitter. I further contended that, in relation to his vote, the Negro should more and more consider the interests of the community in which he lived, rather than seek alone to please some one who lived a thousand miles away from him and from his interests. In this address I said that the whole future of the Negro rested largely upon the question as to whether or not he should make himself, through his skill, intelligence, and character, of such undeniable value to the community in which he lived that the community could not dispense with his presence. I said that any individual who learned to do something better than anybody else--learned to do a common thing in an uncommon manner--had solved his problem, regardless of the colour of his skin, and that in proportion as the Negro learned to produce what other people wanted and must have, in the same proportion would he be respected. I spoke of an instance where one of our graduates had produced two hundred and sixty-six bushels of sweet potatoes from an acre of ground, in a community where the average production had been only forty-nine bushels to the acre. He had been able to do this by reason of his knowledge of the chemistry of the soil and by his knowledge of improved methods of agriculture. The white farmers in the neighbourhood respected him, and came to him for ideas regarding the raising of sweet potatoes. These white farmers honoured and respected him because he, by his skill and knowledge, had added something to the wealth and the comfort of the community in which he lived. I explained that my theory of education for the Negro would not, for example, confine him for all time to farm life--to the production of the best and the most sweet potatoes--but that, if he succeeded in this line of industry, he could lay the foundations upon which his children and grand-children could grow to higher and more important things in life.

The American Express Company (NYSE: AXP), is a global financial services institution whose main offerings are charge and credit cards. American Express earns about half of its revenue from merchants, charging them a discount rate for each transaction processed. The other major source of revenue is cardholders themselves, who pay annual fees and interest charges on balances. During 2010, American Express posted a net income of $4.1 billion from its total revenues of $27.8 billion.[1]
American Express announced that it would revive its share repurchase plan.[2] The announcement came after obtaining approval from the Federal Reserve after American Express passed stress tests. American Express did not announce how many shares or how quickly it would repurchase shares. However, despite the positive news for investors, American Express also announced that its legal liabilities would exceed the amount it had set aside already, with up to $500 million in additional legal costs.[3]

MONTREAL -- For a certain kind of traveler, no visit to a new city is complete without a bellyful of local culinary delights.
And though the Internet has made it easier to zero in on regional specialties, it also has amplified local food rivalries that can make it harder for travelers to know just where, for example, to find the best poutine in Montreal. Ideally, we could try all the top contenders and decide for ourselves, but schedules, pocketbooks and top pants buttons get in our way.
We braved those challenges during a recent trip to Montreal in an effort to guide future travelers to the best local food specialties the French Canadian city has to offer. These include poutine, smoked meat, Portuguese chicken, Montreal-style bagels, deep-fried foie gras, and, in season, farmers markets.
So here goes our quick, clean, decidedly subjective Montreal food smackdown (all prices are Canadian, but the exchange rate is virtually the same):
• What they are: A bit like New York versions but cooked in a wood-fired oven, Montreal bagels are boiled in honeyed water and made with egg and an unsalted dough. They also sport a bigger hole, smaller size and a less shiny exterior.
• The contenders: St-Viateur Bagel (263 Ave. St-Viateur West) and Fairmount Bagel (74 Ave. Fairmount West).
Armed with recommendations from locals, we hoofed it up to the Mile End neighborhood from our Chinatown hotel one morning to settle the bagel question. But when we finally got our teeth into a couple of 80-cent sesame seed bagels at Fairmount, we were disappointed. While pleasingly fresh and warm, the bagels were light and sweet in a way that didn't appeal.
The 70-cent bagels at St-Viateur were hot and nicely dense — we watched them being pulled from the wood-fire ovens — but tasted pretty much just like their sweet-ish, nonchewy rivals at Fairmount. We decided that maybe this style of bagel wasn't our cup of soup.
• The verdict: Between the two bagels, we like St-Viateur a little more, though the place we finally learned to love the Viateur sesame bagels was at a little place called Cafe Neve (more later), which sandwiches lox, lettuce, tomato, onion and cream cheese into the bagel, allowing the savory fillings to counter the sweetness.
• What it is: Brined, spiced beef brisket that's hot-smoked and steamed, yielding something similar but much more delicious than corned beef or pastrami. Eastern European Jews brought it to Montreal nearly a century ago.
• The contenders: Schwartz's Montreal Hebrew Delicatessen (3895 Blvd. St-Laurent) and The Main (3864 Blvd. St-Laurent).
When we took our first bite from a stack of warm smoked meat, smeared with yellow mustard and sandwiched between slices of ultrafresh seedless rye ($6.10) at The Main one morning, we couldn't believe our taste buds. Think of the most flavorful, tender corned beef sandwich you've ever eaten and increase the enjoyment by 10 times and you have an inkling of what you're in for. Oh, and throw in the best matzo ball soup ever. And chase it with a cold draft beer.
Could 80-year-old Schwartz's top this experience? It seemed unlikely given the high bar, but the line outside the door (something The Main lacks, thankfully) promised otherwise. Turns out their smoked meat sandwich ($6.30, cash only) is almost exactly as good as The Main's, especially when you request the fatty meat.

Return to Precipice Lake
We met Tiffany earlier this year when she started posting amazing photos from her outdoor adventures (and great questions about our gear) on our Twitter stream. We thought it was time that we introduce her to the rest of you, and share some photos from a recent expedition to Precipice Lake in Sequoia National Park.
Tiffany is an aerospace engineer, passionate about the space industry and protecting the wilderness. She started getting seriously involved in hiking a few years ago when she moved to California, and has become absolutely addicted ever since. She now spends practically every weekend in the Sierra Nevada backcountry.
Last summer, when Tiffany and her boyfriend hiked the High Sierra Trail, they fell in love with Precipice Lake ("I don't know what it was about the lake, but it was a magical place"), and decided that they had to come back again soon. After an expedition on the John Muir Trail earlier this year, it was time.
"The trip was amazing! Precipice Lake was stunning, and the weather was glorious the entire trip. We hiked over fifteen miles to Hamilton Lake on the first day, up to Precipice Lake the second day, and were back in civilization in the early afternoon of the third day (the last mile of fifteen in a single morning seems to take forever!)."
For this expedition, Tiffany brought the Altra 62 Pack ("comfy, roomy, and lightweight … my go-to pack"), Rampart Pants and Shorts ("fit like a charm"), Phase AR Zip Neck LS ("perfect for chilly mornings and nights"), Beta AR Jacket ("always bring it along"), and Venta LT Gloves ("kept my fingers warm, and I was still able to use my camera with them on"). That's quite the kit!
We've put a bunch of Tiffany's photos from Precipice Lake in an album on our Facebook page, and if you'd like to check in on some of her future expeditions, she's on Instagram and Flickr.
Thanks again Tiffany!

(RNN) - The price of gasoline may have dropped recently, but it's still boosting the average cost to own a sedan. According to a recent study, the cost has risen 3 percent - or about $9,000 per year.
The 62nd annual Your Driving Costs report from AAA used the average cost of gas from October to December 2011 to estimate the cost of owning a sedan. During that period, the national average was $3.35 for a gallon of regular gas. As of April 27, the price had gone up to $3.82, according to AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge Report.
The automotive group uses older gas prices to keep from overstating the rise in costs.
"Some driving costs fluctuate at different times during the year, such as what we have experienced with fuel prices since the middle of February," said John Nielsen, AAA director of Automotive Engineering and Repair. "AAA's use of a consistent methodology for its study allows an accurate comparison of driving costs from year-to-year, and the figures can reliably be used to compare different categories of vehicles."
According to the report, the cost of gas from 2011 to 2012 rose nearly 17 percent, from $2.88 for a regular gallon of gas during their last reporting period. The price was slightly offset by better fuel economy on the study vehicles.
"The average driving cost for 2012 is up due to relatively large increases in fuel and tire costs, and more moderate increases in other areas," Nielson said.
The price of tires, maintenance and insurance all rose along with fuel prices, but cars saw a drop in depreciation, which AAA said may be due to the lower number of new car sales over the past few years.
Despite the higher gas prices, the cost of fuel has gone down over the last few days. The week of April 16 marked the ninth in a row that saw prices fall, albeit only by 1 cent.
"It doesn't necessarily mean we've seen the peak price for 2012," said Jessica Brady, AAA spokeswoman. " It's still very early in the year and we could see gas prices inch back up in May or June depending on how the May 23 meeting between Iran and members of the United Nations turns out and whether or not we have a busy hurricane season."
The Your Driving Costs report has been released annually by AAA since 1950, when it cost approximately 9 cents per mile to drive a car 10,000 miles per year. Gas only cost 27 cents per gallon.

BOSS ME-25 Review
Trust us when we say our instructor Todd Simpson knows a bunch about recording gear, so enjoy his latest review about this inexpensive yet powerful little multi effect unit!
The sleek, black and white design of the ME-25 makes each button, knob, and pedal easy to see and access. Three footswitches, an Expression pedal, four knobs, nine backlit buttons, and enlarged LED panel provide an uncluttered control panel that's great for any environment — even on dark stages. On top of that sound quality is very good due to COSM (Roland Amp Emulation Technology) as can be seen in the demo videos. Plenty of Bass, presence, etc. Overall a very good sounding unit.
But you need to check the whole review to watch is videos and access many other goodies! Have fun

Please Select Currency
Linde Werdelin was born out of a life-threatening event in the Swiss Alps, a 40 year friendship and an uncompromising drive for genuine quality and usefulness.
In the winter of 1996, Jorn Werdelin, a keen mountaineer and off-piste skier, was taken by surprise in a bout of bad weather, got lost, skied off a cliff and broke his back.
In 2002, Jorn Werdelin and Morten Linde partnered to develop a new idea: a highly crafted sports watch, when required, can be combined with a professional digital instrument to provide the right level of information at the right time for skiing and diving.
For Linde, "analogue is the best way to read time; digital is how you assimilate technical details". A perfect combination of analogue and digital that delivers style and function, without having to compromise.

Bear cub rescued in Norway, given new home
IN GOOD CARE — Maine wildlife biologist Randy Cross, middle, holds "Norway," a 30-pound male black bear yearling that was rescued from the back yard of John McCormack of Norway this December, then brought to a bear rehabilitation center, Second Chance Wildlife, in New Sharon. On the left, John Woods, of Maine Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, holds another yearling, "Teddy Buxton," who was rescued in Buxton in December, while MIF&W biologist Lisa Bates, right, takes data of the cubs.
NORWAY — A mere 30-pound orphaned male bear cub that kept appearing in the back yard of John McCormack's home in Norway in December was rescued by game wardens and given a new, temporary home.
"I got up one morning about four o'clock, I turned the coffee maker on ... and I see a little black thing out there," said McCormack, who lives on Huntington Ave.
At first, he thought, "'Oh, it must just be a porcupine,'" he said, of the cub which weighed 16 pounds at the time. "Then I got thinking, 'it looks awful big for a porcupine.'"
"I have deer in my yard all the time," continued McCormack, "and raccoons, and ... a couple of skunks," he laughed. "Of course, I got bird feeders in the back yard."
So, on December 15, McCormack said, he went out to his garage, which he estimates to be about 50 feet from his bird feeders, turned on the light and discovered it was a little bear, sitting beneath the feeders.
"I watched him," McCormack said. "Maybe about 10 o'clock in the morning, he was [still] out back."
"I think it was for three or four days, he was coming in [to the back yard] three or four times a day," McCormack said.
Knowing bears hibernate in the winter and the fact the cub was roaming alone, he thought, "Where the heck is the mama [bear]?" he said.
"It's getting into the freezing season here, and ordinarily, they are in bed by now."
Over the next few days, McCormack kept careful watch of his back yard to see if the cub's mother would appear.
"I saw tracks, but I still [saw] no other bear. ... so I called the game warden."
"They said if the bear keeps coming in [the yard], they would check it out," McCormack explained – and it did.
On December 20, McCormack said, the wardens brought in a two-by-four foot Havahart® animal trap with apples inside to lure in the cub – but there was no sight of it, at least for 24 hours.
About 7 p.m. the next day, McCormack said, "we caught him."
"The poor little thing was in there, not making a whimper or anything."
Second chance
According to McCormack, the cub, now a year old, was taken to Second Chance Wildlife, Inc., a bear rehabilitation center, in New Sharon.
"They rehabilitate animals," McCormack said, including moose and deer. Second Chance owners, Dawn and Michael Brown, strive to create the most natural habitat for all the bears that arrive and focus on returning them to the wild as quickly as possible.
"They try to get them ready for hibernation," McCormack said – and at Second Chance, it's 100 percent volunteer.
According to McCormack, the Browns named the cub "Norway" – each bear brought to Second Chance, a 3-acre facility, is named after the town in which they were captured.
"He's doing really well," Dawn said, of "Norway," who gained about 14 pounds since he was dropped off at the facility. Considering yearlings can weigh up to 60 pounds, "Norway" is still pretty small.
Dawn, a licensed wildlife rehabilitator, is currently taking care of four other male yearlings.
Though she prefers feeding the cubs natural food, Norway had to be fed supplements, to bulk him up and nurse him back to good health. "He's packing on some pounds," Dawn said.
Dawn said she releases the bears back into their natural habitat depending on their stages of development. "It really depends on different scenarios ... whether they are bottle babies or if I get them at an older age," she explained.
"The most important factor of all is [actually] seeing if my methods are working," she said, explaining that each bear wears a camera collar, so its movements can be captured once it's released back into its natural habitat. "I document everything," she said.
According to Dawn, she would prefer Second Chance to be a last resort for the bears. Unless a bear appears to be extremely underweight or unhealthy, she recommends that it be left alone.
"The only reason a warden will bring me a bear if it's been showing up [on a property] for a while and that they know ... it has been separated from the mother," she explained.
The mother bear could have been killed by hunters, but in many cases mother and cub will separate naturally, according to Dawn.
She estimates Norway, along with the other yearlings, will be in good condition to be released back into the wild this spring.
"The bottom line is keeping them wild, so when they return to the wild ... they are behaving as bears," Dawn said.
So close
McCormack said, at one point, the cub was sitting just four feet away from him.
"I was looking at this poor innocent thing and it was almost like he was looking at [me], thinking, 'what did I do wrong?'" McCormack explained.
"It was funny, because he was sniffing me ... so I put my hand down to the cage ... and all of a sudden, he swiped at my hand."
According to Dawn, this is "very normal bear behavior, which is good."
McCormack was surprised to learn that the cub's paw was about half the size of an average human fist and its claws were about an inch-and-a-quarter long.
"It's amazing to be the close to a little wild animal," McCormack said.
"It's something I'll never forget."

NORWAY BEAR — Dawn Brown, a licensed wildlife rehabilitator, also the founder of non-profit bear rehabilitation center, Second Chance Wildlife, in New Sharon, holds "Norway" in her lap, a then 16-pound male bear cub that was captured by Maine Game Wardens in the back yard of Norway resident, John McCormack, in December, along with four other yearlings.

I am putting together a new PC and have run into some trouble.
Rampage IV Extreme
64GB memory
2xPOW GTX590
2x3TB HD
1x480GB SSD
Aquaero 5
2 water pumps, tanks and radiators
9x120mm fans
4x80mm fans
Corsair AX 1200 gold
Plus a lot of sensors that will connect to the Aquaero
I have connected the Aquaero and the fans and it runs fine, but when I connect the motherboard and the graphics cards and 1 HD it only gets 5v standby power. If I disconnect the MB, HD and graphic cards I still only get 5v SB. Have to disconnect the power cord for some minutes (haven't timed it) before full power returns. Then running Aquaero is ok, but the second I reconnect the MB it turns off.
The other day I found a 30v mosfet regulator on the bottom of the case, but quite sure it's for the PSU tester (molex output isn't working) as it is produced for iPhone and iPad.
Any suggestions?
