Watching TV tonight and they stop somewhere in Tenn. were they tried to buy a 37 Terraplane grill . This fellow also had a 54 Jet in his shed and a 48-49 Hudson and I think a 51 parts car setting outside along with a 52 Wasp sedan that looked like he was still driving. Anyone down in Tenn. know this fellow? Who knows what else he has in his buildings. Is he in the HET Club?
The episode was on before and the fellow was identified as a member or the HET and a local club. Do not remember the true name of that firstname.lastname@example.com
was it the guy named "tricky dick"? there was a thread on that one a while back. i can't remember his real name, i think they mention it. from the look of that place i would buy him some brews just to look around. i think that's how they sealed the deal. ;)
Thanks, I always seemed to see these programs months after everyone else. lol
I was in Iowa last year visiting my daughter and stopped at their store north of Davenport. I asked the girl if they had any Hudson parts. She didn't think so. "Then what is that 37 terraplane grill up on the wall?"
Fred -
Well, Fred, you did ask if they had any "Hudson" parts. Being a young 'un she might be forgiven for not knowing Terraplane was a division of Hudson!!! LOL

Fred, Mike also has a mid 20s essex radiator grill hanging in his office. Someone closed the louvers on it and painted a picture on them. I talked to him about selling the grill and radiator shell and he wasnt interested. He thinks they are,excuse the expression, neat. I told him about the HET club. The only thing he was interested in was buying my 1950 Schiewin (sp) bike. Also, after talking to his secretary I think Alex is right . PS the tatoos are real. lol

Plans found: 15,000+
Walk-out basement foundations are becoming more and more popular for many reasons. As with all of the basement types, walk-out basements may be finished or unfinished. House plans with walk-out basements have a separate entrance from outside the home (as well as inside), and one can simply walk into or out of the basement from that entry. Walk-out basements usually have plenty of daylight in the areas facing the entry, so their space can be used in a variety of ways. Also, walk-out basements are perfect for a sloping lot, since much less digging will be necessary.
home | Search Results
Our collection of house plans includes many home plans with walk-out basement foundations. We offer detailed floor plans that allow the buyer to visualize the look of the entire house, down to the smallest detail. With a wide variety of plans, we are sure that you will find the perfect house plan to fit your needs and style.

Damn, according to everyone here it was an evil Republican hedge fund Manager who killed the Twinkie.
Wrong, it was a compassionate Democrat Hedge Fund manager Who killed it.
Wasn't it the Democrats who blasted Romney for his funds buying companies and then gouging them with consulting and management fees???

Timothy Collins, the CEO of private equity firm Ripplewood Holdings, was the lone donor to the Super PAC dedicated to helping Democratic Senate candidates disclosed in the year-end filing. Collins contributed at least $10,000 to Majority PAC, according to the dark money groups most recent FEC filing.
Ripplewood Holdings is most infamous for killing Twinkies and all the other delicious Hostess products.
Ripplewood, which was founded by Timothy C. Collins, a major Democratic donor, is expected to lose most, if not all, of the $130 million or so it invested in Hostess.Hostess shut down in November 2012. Collins also contributed at least $200,000 to Obamas Super PAC in October 2012, the month before the Twinkie died.
Having said all that, Ripplewoods management was far from a model for the industry. For at least the first year of the new ownership, Ripplewood charged Hostess management and consulting fees, according to people briefed on the payments, which were in the millions of dollars.

Title: | Doctors as managers: moving towards general management?: The case of unitary management reform in Norwegian hospitals |

Abstract: | Purpose – The paper seeks to explore whether the development in department management in Norwegian hospitals after the unitary management reform in 2001 constitutes a development in the direction of general management Design/methodology/approach – Interviews were conducted with ten managers from different levels in a large Norwegian university hospital in 2001-2002, as a unitary management model was implemented. Findings – There is an emerging change of practice among the physician managers according to this study. The manager function is more explicit and takes a more general responsibility for the department and the professions. However, the managerial function is substantiated by conditions related to the professional field of knowledge, which gives legitimacy within a medical logic. Contact with the clinic is stressed as important, but it is possible to adjust both amount and content of a clinical engagement to the demands of the new manager position. This has both a symbolic and a practical significance, as it involves both legitimacy and identity issues. Practical implications – The paper shows that the institutionalised medical understanding of management has a bearing on managerial reforms. Managerial changes need to relate to this if they are to have consequences for the managerial roles and structures on department level in hospitals. Originality/value – The paper suggests that the future development of this role will depend on the way the collectivist and individualist aspects of responsibility are handled, as well as on the further development of managerial knowledge of physicians. |

Objective: This study aims to estimate the number of hours dedicated to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender content in one medical school's undergraduate curriculum, compare it to the national average, and identify barriers to addressing this content. Methods: Course and clerkship directors were asked to estimate how many hours they spent on lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender content, how many hours would be ideal, and what barriers they perceived to teaching this content. Results: Faculty members identified lack of instructional time, lack of relevance to their course content, and lack of professional development on this topic as major barriers. There was a significant negative correlation (rs=−0.47, p=0.047) between "number of hours dedicated" and "perceived barriers to teaching this content." Conclusion: Course and clerkship directors who perceive more barriers to teaching lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender content report dedicating less time to its instruction, but the barriers they perceive can largely be mitigated through faculty development.
Most medical schools teach students how to communicate effectively with a diverse patient population. However, diversity is usually interpreted as a range of ages, ethnicities, and physical and mental challenges rather than diversity of patient sexual orientation. Accrediting organizations such as the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) (1) and the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) (2) recognize the need for medical schools and medical students to understand and be sensitive to diversity of sexual orientation. When students are not taught how to discuss sexual orientation openly with their patients, they run the risk of taking the long path to a correct diagnosis, or missing it altogether. They may also miss opportunities for effective patient education on wellness and disease prevention. In short, if medical students do not understand a patient's sexual orientation, they are missing an essential component of what makes each patient unique.
The National Coalition for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Health reports that lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) patients lack equal access to quality health care and face many barriers when attempting to access health care. Consequently, LGBT patients are more likely to neglect their health (3). Many medical students are aware of this gap in their education and see the value of adding more content on sexual health because they feel "undertrained" in this area (4).
This gap in medical education is long-standing. In 1992, a study in Academic Medicine (5) explored faculty perceptions of how homosexuality was taught in medical school. This first exploration of LGBT health care content in the curriculum surveyed directors of psychiatry clerkships. The study found that homosexuality was taught in a marginalized manner (i.e., a curricular approach that could potentially trivialize the importance of LGBT health care). The authors concluded that this content should be wholly integrated throughout the curriculum to improve knowledge and comfort level.
A 1994 study (6) reported that the majority of psychiatric residency programs surveyed did include gay and lesbian content in their curriculum, but program directors varied on how this should best be done. Another 1994 study by Schatz et al. (7) found that 88% of physicians and medical students surveyed had heard colleagues disparage homosexual patients, and 67% had witnessed denial or reduction of care.
This study investigated the amount of instructional time in the undergraduate medical curriculum dedicated to teaching LGBT health care, analyzed current curriculum in terms of the estimated national average, and identified faculty perceptions of barriers to including LGBT content in the curriculum so that decisions about improving the LGBT curriculum would be evidence-based.
Because the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) graduation questionnaire findings revealed that 29% of University of Louisville graduates felt that the amount of time devoted to human sexuality was inadequate (compared to 19% nationally) (8), we hypothesized that the number of instructional hours in the undergraduate medical curriculum focused on LGBT patient care would be less than the national average, that responding faculty would identify barriers to including LGBT content in the undergraduate medical curriculum, and that there would be a negative correlation between the number of barriers faculty members identified and the number of hours in their courses or clerkships addressing LGBT health care.
This study was unfunded and deemed exempt by the institutional review board; the informed consent process consisted of a brief letter of explanation to potential participants providing a description of the study rather than a signed release. Course and clerkship directors were invited to complete the questionnaire during a regularly scheduled meeting. Both clinical and basic science courses were included because our curriculum committee encourages the integration of basic science and clinical application. The questionnaire included seven quantitative and two qualitative questions. Fourteen directors representing 19 required courses/clerkships completed the survey. Four course directors representing five required courses (all in the basic sciences) chose not to participate.
Because the population was small, the data were not adequate to justify seeking a Cronbach alpha coefficient. Instead, the face validity of the instrument was based on a review by an external content expert in LGBT health care education (Mark Townsend, M.D., of Louisiana State University in New Orleans) and University of Louisville's Medical Education Research and Evaluation Unit. The "barriers" listed in the questionnaire were derived from the literature and anecdotal knowledge of faculty reaction to including LGBT content in their courses. Data were not anonymous because faculty assignments to specific courses and clerkships were common knowledge, but all data were treated as confidential.
We used SPSS version 17 to analyze quantitative data. Descriptive statistics were calculated for all replies. The correlation between "actual hours" and "number of barriers identified" was calculated using the Spearman correlation coefficient (H0 rejected at p<0.05). Qualitative data from the open-ended questions were analyzed using a variation of Glaser and Strauss' 1964 Constant Comparison method. Survey results indicate a marked difference between the number of LGBT content hours in basic science and interdisciplinary courses and the number of hours that these course directors see as "ideal" (Table 1).
Directors representing six of the courses and clerkships (32% of respondents) indicated that they did not see any significant barriers to including LGBT content in their courses and clerkships. Eleven directors felt that a lack of instructional time was a barrier, eight cited a lack of relevance to course content, and seven identified a lack of professional development on how to teach the topic. Two course directors cited a lack of personal comfort with the topic, and two identified a lack of validated content on LGBT topics as potential barriers (Figure 1).
A Spearman's rank correlation coefficient revealed a significant negative relationship between the number of instructional hours devoted to LGBT topics in courses and clerkships and the number of barriers identified by respondents (rs=−0.47, p=0.047); directors who perceived more barriers to teaching LGBT topics devoted fewer hours to those topics in their curricula.
The two qualitative questions on the survey were "If you address LGBT issues directly or indirectly in your course or clerkship, please describe" and "Where do you think topics related to LGBT health care should be taught in the medical school curriculum?" When asked where LGBT content should be included in the curriculum, 13 of the 14 respondents replied. Four replies were general (e.g., "as needed" or "throughout the curriculum"), but several others were much more specific. For example, one director specified, "outpatient and inpatient primary care, especially pediatrics outpatient with focus on adolescents, and in small group instruction."
The University of Louisville course and clerkship directors' estimate of 6 hours dedicated to teaching LGBT content was almost twice the 3.5 hours estimated in the American Medical Student Association Plus One Initiative report (9). The estimated 6 hours, however, were certainly less than the 11 hours proposed by course directors as "ideal." Both the University of Louisville and national estimates are self-reported and therefore a reasonable comparison. However, a more precise measure of the national average may result in a study now in progress from Stanford University School of Medicine (10).
It was not surprising to find the barrier most often cited was "lack of instructional time" because this barrier is often mentioned when any new content is proposed for the already-full medical student curriculum. The two barriers cited next most often, "lack of relevance to my course content" and "lack of professional development on how to teach this topic," are good news for medical educators because it is much easier to address extrinsic issues such as "lack of professional development" than intrinsic issues such as "lack of comfort with the topic" with professional development.
Limitations of this study include the self-reported estimates of curricular hours and the small population from a single institution. This study could be replicated at other institutions with greater emphasis on why faculty members do not perceive LGBT instruction as relevant to their courses, especially in the basic sciences, and which strategies are most effective for integrating LGBT health care content into the curriculum. Offering faculty development on how to include LGBT content and providing validated content should decrease the perception of "barriers" and increase the number of hours dedicated to teaching LGBT health care topics.
The ultimate goal is to increase medical student knowledge and sensitivity for communicating with a diverse patient population. Identifying barriers to this goal is a small but important first step in a long process of curricular change.

I've been on it for roughly 38 days. The only sides I have noticed thus far have been an occasional twitching around the groin, and an occasional ball ache (i wouldn't call it a pain or even an ache real, but I seem more aware of them occasionally.) I have read the horror stories and part of me really wants to keep my hair, but part of me does not want to take such a gamble... So far my libido seems normal, and am having morning erections, and even an occasional sex dream.
I am currently taking nizoral, rogain foam, and 1.25 mg of fin a day and I am beginning to feel and see the difference in my hair, so i am completely on the fence what to do. You would think they would have more accurate studies on a drug that has been on the market for so long that millions of men use.
My hair was not too bad (obvious signs, but nothing major) when i started rogain the first time (was on for about 6 months). However once i stopped the rogain my hair went to crap in roughly 6 months, which let me to start the current reg.
Does anyone have suggestions from personal experience?
has anyone had success with just niz and rogain?

Hi Corey, Good read. I found myself nodding in agreement on several occasions. However, I have a few questions and comments. :-) For starters, I was under the impression that Charlie Coyle had been inserted as the Wild's #2 prospect upon arrival from San Jose. How closely would you rate numbers two through four on this list? I was hoping to read a bit more about two of our goalie prospects in Kuemper and Endras. Did you have any info to pass along regarding those two? Casey Wellman: He IS a dynamic skater with notable acceleration. There was talk of him having a good shot coming out of the NCAA, but it has not translated into NHL goals so far. During the course of your research which prospect(s) did you feel "gained/lost" the most relative to your opinion of them pre-article? Were there any trends with scouts being noticeably optimistic/pessimistic towards any of the players? Lastly, I was wondering if you would change the Wild's organizational ranking now that you've had another look at it. It appears to me as if 10-14 are virtually interchangeable, and that a closer examination could lead to a shuffling of places. Keep up the excellent work! Cheers
out of town currently .... will get to this on Sunday
Lot of people I talked to love Coyle. I'm not pumping him up to top 25-30 prospect in hockey yet as he's too far away and I'm not super sold on any top-end upside. Scandella was a distant 2 from Brodin and Coyle, and I'd safely put Brodin over Coyle. I have a bit on Kuemper, but I spend very little time researching goalie prospects, not a good usage of my resources spending time on a very minimal value position. Kuemper plays a fill the net style, using his size and isn't a flashy goalie, but squares up and absorbs a lot of pucks. There are some concerns about his mental game. Have heard sources say he could push Hackett next year in the AHL for the starting gig. Nobody really rose, but sources kind of killed on Wellman and Bulmer. In the middle of the pack, you're right you can interchange a lot of the systems. I did it mostly upside heavy driven, change your variables a little one way and it could change the entire complexion of it.
Hey, thanks for the extra info! The only part that surprises me is that you rate Scandella, Brodin, and Coyle clearly apart from each other. I'd guess they're closer to interchangeable, but I suppose your system provides for a more detailed ranking than my 'eyeball-metric'. ;-) Cheers
In terms of ceiling I don't think they're that far apart, but it all has to do too with likeliness of reaching that ceiling depending where and how their development has gone.
The more I think about it, the more the hyping of two recent additions - as compared to an "old" prospect - has probably influenced my thinking. New toys always seem better than old toys, at first. :-)
Good write! i've been watching both Brodin and Granlund alot this year and you seem to read my mind. Brodin needs more confidence on physical play, and Granlund is very underrated at defensive zone, with his hockey sense he makes it look very easy. He plays % hockey. Trying to make best possible play for the team everytime, not greedy with puck he knows when to pass it. Still amazed with his pass at WC final against sweden on 4-1 goal. It tells everything about him as a player. you can see it from 5.35 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqO9DVqLIO0 .
Corey- where does Chay Genoway fit into the Wild system?
I like Genoway, but more of a he's fun to watch like than I think he'll be anything like. He's super agile and crafty with the puck, but he's more of a sleeper type who really has to prove it over a long pro season before I believe that there's anything real to his projection.

Demon hunter build
This is as close as I'll come to a Demon hunter 'guide'. As usual it's just 'how I play my toon'. After reading last night that there is a huge variation of different class builds in Diablo 3, I thought I might record the one I've been using for the last couple of levels. I just hit 60, and haven't even looked at my lvl 60 runes yet. As soon as I hit 60 we killed some champs and I didn't want to lose my nephalem … Continue reading

I consider myself a serious matchbox collector and wanted to purchase some cases for a portion of my collection that I don't display. I bought seven cases, all arrived in perfect shape. This case is better than any Hotwheels case currently available but it has its drawbacks. First, due to the round shape, a certain number of slots (8 of them) on each side can only hold small vehicles. Second, in the middle there is a portion without slots that can be used for much larger vehicles or you could pile cars on top of each other but personally I find this space useless. I wish we could see cases like they used to make them. Bins that could be removed and soft covers with one latch (made of metal) on the front.

Bought this for my son's 3rd birthday, to wrangle in some of the MANY matchbox cars he has. I'm not sure if it was just the one that I purchased, or if it is all of them. First it's very difficult for him to open by himself, almost impossible. 2nd, one of the sides snapped off while opening, and while we can put it back on, it comes off every time we open it. Last, if you put cars in both sides, it can be too heavy for a 3 year old. It might be better for 4 or 5-8 year olds. Not great for getting a 3 year old to clean up after himself.

Great case
By ANeftzer
from Cincinnati, Ohio
About Me First Time Parent, Working Parent
Comments about Tara Toys Matchbox 72 Car Case:
The case works great for it's purpose. It's made with thick plastic and is pretty sturdy. It had a nice handle so my son can carry it around. I like the fact that it opens on both sides and one side has a larger open spot for bigger cars. The only complaint I have is that it's kind of hard to open, even for myself. But all in all, I'm happy with my purchase.

I've been looking for a product to store Matchbox, finally found one that I liked. Two sided doors for different sizes of Matchbox, compartments for big and small cars. While it could be have some changes of design, over all it's a great product! One well your buck is well spent.

About Me Parent of Two or More Children

Typical inexpensive storage unit. My boys pulled one of the sides off as soon as they opened to put their cars in. However it did just snap right back on, but it is serving it's purpose to keep the cars out of the floor!
Car Case causes neatness
By Lisa the playroom cleaner
from Sutter, CA
About Me Parent of Two or More Children, Working Parent
Finally, a neat and easy way to store my son's cars. The case is sturdy and has two different storage areas. The one side is organized with slots the other side is designed in a circle with a large, open storage area in the middle. My son was tickled that it looks like a wheel and has the fire engine sticker on front.
i would buy this product again.

Race & Happiness
A new Michigan State University study finds Black Americans who identify strongly with their racial identity tend to be happier. MSU researchers talked with African-Americans living in Michigan.
Researcher Stevie Yap says they found people who said that 'being black' was an important part of their life and gave them a sense of 'belongingness" to a wider community.
"We did also find the sense of belongingness…the degree to which that is a mechanism…in racial identity to happiness…that is especially the case for women."
The MSU study appears in the current issue of Cultural Diversity and Ethnic Minority Psychology.

No, it's not. PedalSnake patented a new wiring scheme that is changing the way guitarists do business. This novel concept takes advantage of the low-Z output buffer found in the typical stompbox (you only need one). The result? Well, you've got to hear it to believe it (read more at www.pedalsnake.com).
Replace all your rig's cables with PedalSnake's configurable plug n play system: audio, footswitch lines, MIDI, power—and more— without tone loss or noise. Tired of toiling with stiff, thick "cable bundles"? PedalSnake is thin and flexible, coiling into the smallest pedalboard case—all for the cost of an average stompbox.
Don't believe it? Try PedalSnake with our 30 Day Money Back Guarantee. If you don't like it for any reason, send it back. All you risk is the shipping cost (yes, we're that confident).
Nobody ever goes back.

Save money on power too Simple "wall-wart" style power supplies have gotten a bad rap. The good ones (from your favorite pedal makers) are true, isolated Class 2 Transformers, which really can deliver quiet, hum-free power—when you know how to use them. The main problem is: If you place a wall-wart supply right next to your pedals, transformer noise may get into your signal path.

Econsultancy's third annual UK Search Engine Marketing Benchmark Report was released last week; it profiles the UK search marketing environment, and covers paid search, SEO and social media.
One of the trends uncovered by the report, produced in association with Guava, is that social media is becoming a bigger part of the marketing mix, with 91% of search agencies already offering, or else planning to offer, advice and services to clients on how to make the most of social media.

Marketing effectively on the internet can be pretty tough.
Sure, search and email are awesome and, when done right, are two of the most accountable forms of marketing around. But ask about other forms of online marketing and you'll probably meet more marketers who aren't producing ROI (or who aren't even tracking it) than you will find marketers who are.

I had my DVR scheduled to tape Salvage Dawgs (1/10/13) and just watched the two episodes tonight. Absolutely love it! It is just like American Pickers except it seems to be a bigger operation. Love the two guys who are the main characters. It is not a design show but I love the salvage idea and going into old buildings and getting out anything that could be re-used. I hope this show has more episodes as I definitely want to see more. | |||
I also like this show. It obviously copies from American Pickers, but at least it has a different twist. I like the concept about these two guys who salvage things from buildings slated for demolition. In some cases, they repurpose their findings in cool ways before reselling them in their shop. Did you see the show where the woman who runs their shop turned a salvaged clawfoot tub into a couch? It was inspired by Holly Golightly's couch in Breakfast at Tiffany's. You can see it here: http://blackdogsalvage.blogspo...posed-claw-foot.html | ||||
Kris, I did see that episode about the clawfoot tub turned into a couch. I wasn't sure how comfortable that couch could be though. Even with sanding where they cut the section out for a person's legs to hang, it still looked like sharp corners. It was definitely an interesting concept! I really hope they show more episodes. If this show was originally on the DIY network, I hope they bring more shows over to HGTV as I don't receive the DIY network. | ||||
I don't know about sharp corners, but I know what you mean. Still, I give them points for making something very unexpected, creative and fun. It makes a statement. My neighbor owns a hair salon. She'd love to have a couch like that in her waiting area. | ||||

Some measures are service specific. They tell us about the quality and safety provided in a specific clinical area, such as heart care or orthopaedics. Other measures are hospital-wide and are not dependent upon whether the patient is receiving heart care or orthopaedic care. On this page, you will find hospital-wide quality performance measures for Infection Prevention and Nursing Care, as well as quality performance measures for Common Conditions such as Heart Care, Pneumonia Care, and Surgical Care.
Infections are a serious concern in hospitals. Nationwide, 2.5 million patients develop healthcare-associated infections annually. Not only do infections cause additional medical problems for patients, but they can increase the time a patient spends in the hospital, and sometime, can result in serious illness. The risk of healthcare-associated infections can be reduced by following best practices for infection control. Learn more about what BIDMC is doing to address this problem in several important areas.
Nursing care at BIDMC is dedicated to providing the highest quality of care and safety to our patients. As part of this commitment, BIDMC nursing puts itself "under the microscope" and monitors several nursing core areas for quality and safety. Below you can see how we are doing in several key aspects of nursing care, including pressure ulcers and patient falls. For more information about each measure and its benchmark, click on the name of the measure.
In 2010, over 1,300 patients were admitted to BIDMC with heart failure or acute myocardial infarction (AMI - more commonly referred to as a heart attack). Learn more about heart care at BIDMC >> All of our patients should receive care that is likely to achieve the best possible results. The information below tells you how closely BIDMC has been following recommended guidelines for some measures of general heart care: treatment of heart attack and heart failure. For more information about each measure and its benchmark, click on the name of the measure.
Patients who are admitted to BIDMC with pneumonia should receive those elements of care that are demonstrated to lead to the best results. The information below tells you how closely BIDMC has been following recommended guidelines for pneumonia care. For more information about each measure and its benchmark, click on the name of the measure.
1Source of this data is from hospital administrative databases, and reflects data reported to regulatory agencies. 2Souce of comparison data for Pressure Ulcers and Patient Falls is Massachusetts PatientCareLink. 3The 2013 Goal for BIDMC is based on a review of a nationally recognized database of comparable institutions, or drawn from internal benchmarks that BIDMC has established, and is based upon hospital performance data reported regulatory agencies. 4The source of the comparison for these measures is Hospital Compare, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The data reported for this set of measures are drawn from a representative sample of patients rather than all surgical patients. Last updated: October 21, 2013
