Hospital Impact has been ranked one of the top 50 healthcare blogs by Wikio.
Blogs we like:
Earlier this month I was participating in a board call for CCAL--Advancing Person Centered Living. I have written about what we do earlier.
The essence--it's not just about patient-centered care. People live most of their lives outside of four-walled providers--hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living. And they deserve the same dignity, respect and choice that we have concentrated on instilling in provider settings.
I digress.
One of our board members is Martin Bayne, a journalist, Buddhist monk, MIT graduate, and well known advocate for the aging. He was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease, and for the past 10 years he has lived in an assisted living facility. He is in his early 60s.
Well, we were having a spirited discussion about how we were going to start a campaign to infuse person-centered principles in the psyche of the public, media and the continuum of providers. Viral videos, letters to the editor--you name it, big-time plans.
Martin listened attentively for an hour. Then he politely asked to comment. And he stopped us in our tracks. He asked us to put ourselves in the resident's position. He said that every resident (speaking of his assisted living environment) becomes susceptible to what he calls the ambient despair that comes with the recognition of their community's unprecedented levels of dementia, disability, depression and death.
Martin is doing something about it. He serves as the welcoming committee in his facility and has built an entire program in helping new residents not only feel welcomed but also feel validated in a life well lived with more living to do. He told us on the call that, as big as our hearts and intentions are in spreading principles of person centeredness, what residents (read patients, home-bound elders, all of us) want is purpose.
Of course I instinctively knew this. But I have been preaching about passion and purpose for our healthcare workforce as a systemic solution to creating better healthcare experiences. Maybe we need to look at this from another angle as well.
Maybe we need to look at our patients as they lie at our mercy and think about their purpose. It is more than capturing their story as a means of building a relationship. It is more than fancy marketing campaigns about getting people back to what's important.
It's actually about deeply understanding that those we are caring for have deep passions and a purpose in their lives. And they want to get back to them. Understanding what a person's purpose is could deeply affect how you care for them couldn't it?
Take me for example. If I was your patient or resident and you took the time, you would find out I am passionate about singing for our elderly. My voice is a gift and I protect it accordingly. So I would never want any procedures, pharmaceuticals or other therapy that would damage my vocal chords. You would end my life far sooner than the illness I might have.
We are on the outside thinking we have all the answers to what goes on in the inside of our facilities. We get to go home at night after all.
Martin brought home two things for me. One, we all have purpose and if we deeply look at those in our care as people with purpose, we would care for them differently and more empathetically.
Second, Martin's voice rang so true because we (CCAL) have an organization that thought enough to include a resident's voice on it. And that is why the work of patient family advisory councils is so important. And the inclusion of the patient voice in grand rounds is equally important.
Passion and purpose--as you understand yours, come to understand the passions and purposes of those you care for every day.

Published twenty years ago, the originalPreschool in Three Cultureswas a landmark in the study of education: a profoundly enlightening exploration of the different ways preschoolers are taught in China, Japan, and the United States. Here, lead author Joseph Tobinalong with new collaborators Yeh Hsueh and Mayumi Karasawarevisits his original research to discover how two decades of globalization and sweeping social transformation have affected the way these three cultures educate and care for their youngest pupils. InPreschool in Three Cultures Revisitedthe authors return to the three schools from the first book and also take a look at three new, progressive schools in each countryonce again armed with a video camera to capture a typical day. They record the children saying goodbye to their parents, fighting, misbehaving, and playing, as well as moments of intimacy such as teachers comforting crying students. Then the authors show the three videos they shot in 1984 and the six new videos to the teachers and school directors, and their reactions offer sharp insights into their culture's approach to early childhood education and its connection to developments in their societies as a whole. Putting their subjects' responses into a historical perspective, Tobin, Hsueh, and Karasawa analyze the pressures put on schools to evolve and to stay the same, discuss how the teachers adapt to these demands, and examine the patterns and processes of continuity and change in each country. Featuring nearly one hundred stills from the videotapes,Preschool in Three Cultures Revisitedartfully and insightfully illustrates the surprising, illuminating, and at times entertaining experiences of four-year-oldsand their teacherson both sides of the Pacific.

BEAR NOTES: Cal (2-2), fresh off of splitting a four-game series versus then-No. 18 Texas to open the 2014 campaign, plays on the road for the first time this season when the Golden Bears travel to the Tiger Classic, Feb. 21-23, in Auburn, Ala. David Esquer's squad faces East Tennessee State (2-2) Friday, host Auburn (2-2) Saturday and Arkansas Pine Bluff (0-6) Sunday. Cal was impressive in its season-opener, shutting out Texas, 7-0, behind freshman right-hander Daulton Jefferies (6.0 innings, six hits, no runs, one walk, four strikeouts) and junior second baseman/outfielder Derek Campbell (3-for-4, two doubles). Jefferies, in his college debut, was named the Pac-12 Pitcher of the Week for his efforts. He is the first true freshman to start on the mound for the Bears in a season-opener since Esquer became the Cal coach in 2000. Campbell, who missed the majority of last season with a broken leg, hit three doubles in the Texas series and scored the winning run in Bears' 2-1 game one win Saturday, leading off the eighth inning with a double and scoring on sophomore center fielder Devin Pearson's game-winning RBI. Cal returns 23 players from last year's squad and has an impressive freshman class. The Bears feature five veteran members from its 2011 College World Series team – seniors Kyle Porter (5.0 inn., 7 H, 1 run, 0 BB, 4 K vs. Texas), Vince Bruno (5-for-9, RBI vs. Texas) and Devon Rodriguez; and juniors Campbell and Michael Theofanopoulos. Campbell was the starting second baseman for the Bears as a freshman at the CWS, Theofanopoulos is a talented left-handed pitcher/utility player, Porter was a freshman All-American left-hander in 2011 and picked up Cal's CWS victory over Texas A&M in Omaha, Bruno was an honorable mention all-conference selection in 2011 and Rodriguez was the Most Outstanding Player of the 2011 Houston Regional after knocking in the game-winning hit in the Bears' dramatic come-from-behind victory over Baylor to advance Cal to the 2011 Super Regionals in Santa Clara. Another key veteran is senior shortstop Mike Reuvekamp, who last season produced three game-winning RBI for Cal – versus Michigan, Fresno State and Washington State. Two more top returners are sophomore right-hander Ryan Mason (won 2-1 win in relief vs. Texas, 3 K's in 3.0 inn.) and Pearson, who both had stellar freshman campaigns. Mason became the Bears' No. 1 starter and went 5-3 with a 3.76 ERA, while Pearson hit .302 with a team-high seven stolen bases. Two more Cal players to watch are junior infielder Chris Paul, who had eight home runs and 36 RBI last year; and senior right-hander Trevor Hildenberger, who picked up five wins and a save last season.

HEAD COACH DAVID ESQUER: Esquer, 48, is in his 15th season with a career record of 408-371-2 (.524). After his team was scheduled to be discontinued following the 2011 season, Esquer led the Bears to the program's first appearance at the College World Series since 1992, and on the eve of Cal's 7-3 CWS victory over Texas A&M June 21, 2011, was named the National Coach of the Year by the National College Baseball Writers Association. Esquer's award, which was voted on by the NCBWA Board of Directors, was selected from a list that included all Division I Conference Coaches of the Year and the coaches of the 16 NCAA Super Regional teams. The Bears' program was reinstated through fund-raising efforts and made its sixth all-time appearance in the CWS. Esquer led Cal out of the loser's bracket in the Houston Regional and defeated Dallas Baptist in the Super Regional to advance to Omaha. Cal entered the 2011 NCAA Tournament with an at-large bid out of the Pac-10. After a 6-4 loss to Baylor in the opening game, Esquer's team got past Alcorn State, 10-6, and No. 13 Rice, 6-3, to face Baylor for the regional championship. Cal forced the if-necessary game with an 8-0 shutout behind the strong pitching performance of freshman left-hander Kyle Porter (three hits, no runs, no walks and a career-high nine strikeouts). First baseman Devon Rodriguez earned Most Outstanding Player of the Houston Regional honors with a two-out, two-run single in the bottom of the ninth to lead Cal's dramatic come-from-behind 9-8 victory over Baylor to advance to the Super Regional against Dallas Baptist. The Bears, led by 2011 Pac-10 Player of the Year Tony Renda, swept Dallas Baptist, 7-0 and 6-2, in Santa Clara to advance to the CWS. It was the fourth appearance by Cal in the NCAA Tournament in Esquer's tenure, including three NCAA regionals in the last four years (the first time in school history). He was the 2001 Pac-10 Coach of the Year after the Bears went 34-25 and played in the Baton Rouge Regional (1-2). In 2008, Cal was 33-21-2 and competed in the Long Beach Regional, and in 2010 the Bears were 29-25 and played in the Norman, Okla. Regional (0-2). Sixty seven Bears have signed pro contracts under Esquer, including first round picks Brett Jackson (CF, Chicago Cubs, 31st overall) in 2009, David Cooper (1B, Toronto, 17th overall) in 2008, Brandon Morrow (RHP, Seattle, fifth overall) in 2006 and Conor Jackson (INF., Arizona, 19th overall) in 2003. Esquer came to Cal after serving as top assistant at Pepperdine (1996-99), and No. 2 assistant at Stanford (1991-96). A shortstop at Stanford (1984-87), he started on the 1987 College World Series championship team, earning All-Tournament honors. Esquer played professionally for four seasons with Baltimore, California and Milwaukee.
NOTING TIGER CLASSIC: East Tennessee State, coached by Tony Skole (15th year at ETSU), is 2-2. A top hitter for the Buccaneers is junior infielder Chris Riopedre (.400, 1 HR, 3 RBI), and their tentative starter versus Cal is senior left-hander Clinton Freeman (0-1, 4.05 ERA). Auburn, coached by Sunny Golloway (1st year at Auburn), is 2-2. A top hitter for the Tigers is senior catcher Blake Austin (.300, 0 HR, 5 RBI), and their tentative starter versus Cal is senior left-hander Michael O'Neal (0-1, 1.50 ERA). Arkansas Pine Bluff, coached by Carlos James (3rd year at UAPB), is 0-6. A top hitter for the Golden Lions is freshman outfielder/pitcher is Jerimiah Figueroa (.368, 0 HR, 2 RBI), and their tentative starter versus Cal is TBA.
SERIES RECORD: Cal will be playing East Tennessee State, Auburn and Arkansas Pine Bluff for the first time in school history.

CAL AMONG PAC-12 STAT LEADERS: Early in the 2014 season Cal is third in the Pac-12 with a .987 fielding pecentage and .240 opponent batting average, and fourth with a 2.75 team ERA. Individually, senior outfielder Vince Bruno is second in the conference with a .556 batting average and junior second baseman/outfielder Derek Campbell is second in the league with three doubles.
RODRIGUEZ'S FAMOUS HIT: Senior Devon Rodriguez will forever be known in Cal baseball lore for his clutch game-winning hit versus Baylor as he helped bring back the Bears from a 7-1 deficit by going 3-for-4 with a home run and four RBI, including the game-winning RBI single with two outs and two strikes in Cal's 9-8 victory to clinch the 2011 Houston Regional. Rodriguez was named the Houston Regional Most Outstanding Player after going 8-18 (.444) with a six RBI during the Bears' five regional contests. His fame also coincides with former KALX announcer Danny Friesinger's enthusiastic call of the winning hit that sent Cal to the Santa Clara Super Regional Rodriguez's Famous Hit. Rodriguez is back to full health after playing the entire 2013 season with a torn labrum (batting .277 with seven doubles, seven home runs and 40 RBI) and redshirting in 2012 after suffering injuries to both his shoulder and knee. He has played in 151 games in his Cal career with a .278 average (156-for-561), 25 doubles, one triple, 15 home runs and 96 RBI. Rodriguez, tabbed 2014 second-team preseason all-conference by College Sports Madness, has also hit two grand slams, including March 16, 2013 at Utah.
CAL'S WALK-OFF SUCCESS IN 2013: Cal had six walk-off wins last season, including the final game with Mitchell Kranson's game-winner May 20 versus Gonzaga. Shortstop Mike Reuvekamp notched three game-winning RBI, with a game-winning hit April 21 versus Washington State, a game-winning RBI in the 10th inning Feb. 16 versus Michigan and a game-winning sacrifice fly in the seventh inning March 9 versus Fresno State. Other walk-off heroics for the Bears include catcher Andrew Knapp's (2013 All-American, Phillies second round draft pick) game-winning RBI in the 11th inning in the season-opener Feb. 15 versus Michigan, and outfielder Brian Celsi getting the game-winning RBI in the ninth inning Feb. 17 versus Michigan. Cal's other walk-off win was March 7 versus Fresno State when second baseman Brenden Farney had the game-winning sacrifice fly in the 10th inning.
CAL BASEBALL ON FACEBOOK: Cal baseball fans can enjoy videos, photos and other Golden Bear highlights on the official Cal Baseball Facebook page.
BETTER THAN EVER EVANS DIAMOND: Evans Diamond, which has served as the home of Cal baseball since 1933, received a major upgrade with the installation of a new lighting system and scoreboard last spring. Eight 90-foot light poles were erected around the field that now support nighttime television broadcasts, team practice and training. A modern electronic scoreboard, measuring 38 feet wide by 31 feet high, was also installed in left-center field. The new scoreboard offers scoring, game information, as well as fixed advertising and a full color video board measuring 24 feet wide by 14 feet high. Entering the 2013 season, Cal was the only Pac-12 school without permanent lighting at its baseball facility. With the Pac-12 Networks showing eight Cal home games this season, the ability to play night games gives Cal maximum opportunity to be televised by the Networks. In addition, the upgrades will allow the Bears to be eligible to host NCAA Regional contests at Evans. The project was funded by a combination of donations and increased ticket and sponsorship revenue as a result of the upgrade. The first-ever night-time competition at Evans Diamond was March 28 for the Bears' 2013 Pac-12 opener against USC in front of a record crowd of 2,133 fans. The new scoreboard was first unveiled May 10, 2013 versus Arizona State. The project was designed by Brereton Architects of San Francisco and constructed under the direction of Overaa Construction of Richmond.
PORTER'S FRESHMAN PERFORMANCES: In what would have to be considered one of the best freshman pitching performances in Cal baseball history, senior left-hander Kyle Porter was 6-0 with a 1.89 ERA and two saves (four starts and 25 appearances) in 2011. Porter also had 57 strikeouts and only 15 walks in 57.0 innings and was named a Freshman All-American by Baseball America, Collegiate Baseball, Perfect Game and the National Collegiate Baseball Writers. He had one of the biggest wins in school history when on June 21, 2011 he pitched 6.0 innings (seven hits, three runs, one walk, four strikeouts) versus Texas A&M to help give the Bears their first victory (7-3) in the College World Series since 1980. Porter was a member of the 2011 Houston Regional All-Tournament Team as well after throwing a career-high 6.2 innings with three hits, no runs, two walks and a career-high nine strikeouts June 5 versus Baylor in the Houston Regional.
QUICK BEAR HITS: As a freshman, Derek Campbell filled in for an injured Tony Renda (pulled right quad) at second base for the 2011 Super Regional and CWS, hitting .389 (7-for-18, 2B, three RBI) and playing solid defensively...Campbell, drafted in the 36th round by the Chicago Cubs last June, is back after suffering a broken leg March 3, 2013 at Houston...senior outfielder Vince Bruno returns after redshirting last season after hip surgery. Bruno batted .323 overall and .321 versus the Pac-12 in 2012 and was honorable mention all-conference in 2011...senior right-hander Trevor Hildenberger had only 11 appearances prior to last season, but developed a sidearm delivery and won five games with a save in 2013, including a career-high 7.0 innings with five strikeouts versus Washington April 27.
BEAR POSTSEASON NOTES: Cal is now 43-25 (.632) in NCAA postseason games all-time, including 7-3 in 2011 (1-2 in the CWS, 2-0 in first-ever NCAA Super Regional and 4-1 in the NCAA Houston Regional). Head coach David Esquer has eight postseason wins, passing George Wolfman for second on the school's all-time list behind Bob Milano's 20 postseason wins. The last time the Bears won six postseason games in a row was 1957, and the seven postseason wins is the most for a Cal squad since the 1980 team had eight. Cal's 38 victories in 2011 were the most wins since the Bears' 1988 CWS squad won 40 games.
CAL IN THE WORLD SERIES: With the 7-3 victory over Texas A&M on June 21, 2011, the Bears won their first College World Series game since defeating Miami, 4-3, on June 12, 1980. When Cal played Virginia in front of a crowd of 25,833 on June 23 at TD Ameritrade Park, it was the largest crowd to ever watch the Golden Bears play baseball. Cal won the inaugural College World Series title in 1947 under head coach Clint Evans, defeating former President George Bush's Yale team, 8-7, in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Evans was instrumental in establishing the CWS. The Bears won the national title again in 1957 under head coach George Wolfman with a 1-0 victory over Penn State. Cal also placed third in the 1980 World Series under head coach Bob Milano, and was seventh in the CWS in 1988 and 1992 under Milano. 2011 senior left fielder Austin Booker's father, Rod, was the starting shortstop on the Bears' 1980 squad, while Major League star Jeff Kent was a member of Cal's 1988 College World Series team. Similar to the 2011 season in which they faced the tournament's No. 1 seed (Virginia), the Bears played the top seed in 1992, Miami, losing to the Hurricanes, 4-3, in 13 innings.
Cal won the inaugural College World Series title in 1947, defeating former President George H.W. Bush's Yale team, 8-7, in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The Bears' program began in 1892 and is now in its 122nd season. George Bush, Sr., sent a letter of congratulations to David Esquer following Cal's 2011 College World Series appearance.
The Golden Bears have had two players go on to become league MVPs in professional baseball – Jackie Jensen was the American League MVP in 1958 and Jeff Kent was the National League MVP in 2001.
Cal is one of only 20 schools to win NCAA Baseball titles and one of 14 schools with more than one national title (1947, 1957). The Bears have competed in six CWS (1947, 1957, 1980, 1988, 1992, 2011).
Geoff Blum, Cal's starting shortstop as a freshman on the Bears' 1992 College World Series team, had a game-winning homer for the Chicago White Sox in the 2005 Major League World Series.
Cal has three coaches in the ABCA Hall of Fame – Clint Evans (1930-54, led the Bears to the first CWS title in 1947); George Wolfman (1955-73, led Cal to the 1957 CWS title); and Bob Milano (1978-99, led the Bears to three CWS appearances (1980, 1988, 1992), including a third-place finish in 1980. The uniform numbers of Evans (13), Wolfman (66) and Milano (7) - along with All-American and four-time all-conference (1983-86) selection Lance Blankenship (12) - are retired and displayed on the Evans Diamond right field fence.

The American manufacturer, legally or illegally, entered on the practice of medicine in the decade between 1910 and 1920. Without qualifications or desire, he shouldered this task through sheer necessity. Preferring to stick to his problems of production and sales promotion, he was nevertheless confronted with the acts of state legislators, who had created industrial liability laws saddling him, the employer, with much increased financial responsibility for industrial injuries, and in some states for occupational diseases.
Prior to 1910 some small amount of industrial medicine was applied, and today four states still have no compulsory employer liability acts; but the decade specified saw the majority of our states enact laws of this character. These laws vary from state to state as to the extent of provision for medical and surgical relief, moneys for lost time from work, moneys for permanent disability, and so on. The general trend of all this

Why should doctors cultivate compassion?
Three excellent blogs, Urbanmonk.net, The Middle Way.net, and kentonwhitman.com have collaborated to create a group writing project around the topic of compassion. They have titled the project "Spread the love NOW," an imperative statement for an imperative topic! It's a great time of year to be thinking deeply about compassion and other related topics, so I thought I would add some thoughts of my own.
If you have an online journal or blog, consider visiting that link and participating in the project yourself. Entries need to be posted by the 5th of January, 2008. As if joining your voice with so many others to talk about such a worthy subject isn't enough benefit alone, there's also a prize involved. Visit the Urbanmonk.net link above to learn more.
Compassion is a natural theme for a blog about medicine. However, it is too seldom discussed explicitly in medical settings. Sometimes it seems that it is assumed that people come to medicine naturally aligned with the principles of compassionate living and that their medical practice will be informed by those principles. Unfortunately, this is not the case.
Some come to medicine because of family tradition, others because of hopes of monetary gain, still others sort of by accident – they choose it out of a book or from some career counseling service's list. Of course there are many, particularly in the natural medicine fields, who do come for all of the right reasons. Further, even people primarily motivated by some of the above can be exceptionally compassionate individuals. Regardless of one's motivation for entering the medical field or one's natural tendency with regards to compassion, it is a topic that should be carefully considered and a trait that should be vigorously cultivated.
The philosophical roots of Chinese medicine are full of descriptions of the necessary attitude for a good physician. While Chinese medical science should not be equated with the philosophical systems that gave rise to it, we can look to those systems to understand the medicine more fully.
Interestingly, all three of the major Chinese spiritual systems – Daoism, Confucianism and Buddhism – take compassion to be one of the highest virtues. In Daoism, compassion is one of the three jewels that all good people should seek to cultivate. Compassion is at the very heart of Buddhist thought, no doubt about it. In Confucianism, too, compassion is a most sought virtue and some sources indicate that Confucius believed that all other virtues flowed from this one. I'd like to briefly explore the Confucian understanding of Compassion and suggest some ways that physicians and physicians-in-training can incorporate this vital virtue into their own lives and medical practices.
The word for compassion is Ren 仁 and can also be translated as benevolence, humility, humanity and mercy. The character is composed of the person radical on the left and the symbol for "2" on the right. It indicates either a cluster of two persons or the relationship between two people. It is my understanding that this virtue has been explained in many ways by different Confucian philosophers.
One of the major points of contention concerns towards whom we are meant to have this special attitude. Some contend that it should be shown to all people (universal love) others indicate that it is reserved for those we owe some filial debt – such as our parents. Despite these differences, the essence can be agreed upon by anyone. When taking action in the world, we must always consider how our actions will impact other human beings. We must act in such a way that it does not support the desires/wishes of one person at the detriment of others. In essence, we must think of the humanity of others and act in such a way that we respect and honor the core of humanness within every person.
What does this mean in medicine? Simply this – that your primary concern is a doctor is to respect the humanness of each patient. They are not your experimental laboratories, they are not marks to push your products on, they are not intentionally being difficult or any of those other petty little things we all think at one time or another. Thus, they shouldn't be treated as such. They should be always and everywhere treated in exactly the same manner as you would have yourself treated, with respect, openness – and yes, even a kind of love.
How can we learn to embody this principle? Well, any of the basic self-cultivational practices will certainly help. Meditation helps our minds to quiet and this in turn will help us to notice when our thoughts turn to less than compassionate directions. One practice I can suggest is to stop immediately any speech or thought about any person, patient or not, that you would not want them to hear you thinking or saying.
You might also want to look into volunteering your time to a local charity, particularly one that serves sectors of the public that you traditionally find difficult. In exposing yourself repeatedly to people you find difficult, you may be more able to work through your troubling feelings.
In general, I believe that thinking carefully about our relationship with the virtue of compassion is one of the most important practices we can work with as physicians and future physicians. How does compassion play out in your daily life? Learned any particularly poignant lessons about this virtue? Share your thoughts and experiences with us in the comments.

It's amazing what opportunities a one-word photography assignment can provoke!
Our friend, Charles, had a mission when he set off to walk the streets and beaches of this bit of the Bahamas: take "laundry" pictures for his photography group back home in Ottawa. That assignment took him into a back yard in Staniel Cay where he and Jim shared some laughs and conversation with the owner and "hanger-upper". Jim was a little hesitant about entering someone's yard and taking pictures of the clothesline, but Charles is not easily discouraged so in they went! The lady of the house laughed at his story and kindly posed for pictures as well as telling them about her flowers and shrubs. They moved on to the government wharf where they purchased a hogfish for dinner - cleaned and split into 2 lovely big fillets - and picked out a beautiful conch shell for Linda. She really wanted to find her own, but just in case that didn't happen, the guys decided to choose one from the day's catch. While the fishermen cleaned their catch, and the locals lined the wall along the beach, Charles picked up one after another and the group indicated which was the best. I must say, he brought home a beauty - a large flared and rippled lip tinged with orange and gold, with a deep pink interior. It is gorgeous.
As they walked down the road, fish in hand, Stephen came along in his golf cart and it was time for another photo op and conversation. He agreed to have his photo taken and took one of them also, while agreeing that their fish purchase was a good one. Stephen is the local electrician - having grown up here with his grandparents after his mother died, studied in Nassau where his father lives, and after getting his accreditation as an electrician, moved back to Staniel Cay where he is able to make a sustainable living. (All students have to go off island for high school and further education, and most of them go to Nassau where they can live with relatives. Charles visited the school and learned that there are 17 students and 3 teachers.) Also of note is that Stephen has one hand. This guy is impressive - smart, skilled and determined. Among all the bits of information he gave the guys was some real estate info. It costs about $1.5 million for a 1.5 acre lot with a beach view. Whew - I think we'll stay on the boat! Staniel Cay is experiencing a building boom at the moment, but they are being smart about it - no high density development that might change the character of the island.
It was so windy that we had to panfry the hogfish rather than grill it, but it made a fine dinner with peas'n'rice and cole slaw, and we dipped into the bag of chocolate truffles donated by Sandi and Steve (Princess) to finish things off. Mmmmmm.
We stayed on our mooring ball in Staniel Cay another day because of the first cold front of their visit. After a night when the wind howled around, and we bounced some, but managed a reasonable nights sleep, we got up, ate breakfast and headed ashore to Club Thunderball. The club is closed, but the solid dock is handy for those of us anchored and moored in this part of the harbour. From there, it is an easy walk down the road, up the hill past the dump, and then down the sandy slope leading to Ocean Beach.
Despite the strong wind that set the sailboats rocking, this protected beach was perfect for walking. Unfortunately, the temperature was cool so it was not perfect for swimming - unlike the days we spent there on our last trip. Also unfortunately, there were few pretty shells and no sea glass to put in our pockets. On the other hand, Charles managed to take a few pics of shirts draped on rocks and boards, we got some good exercise and we managed to spend a chunk of the day on land!
24/02/2010/4:06 pm, Staniel Cay, Exumas
We rented a golf cart and took a little drive around the island before heading back to the airport in good time to greet our friends, Linda and Charles from Ottawa. It was a clear day and we saw two private planes take off, and then a plane fly overhead and on toward Black Point at about the right time. Another private, twin engine plane left and finally, the Flamingo flight came in. We waved wildly and an arm came out the window, waving back!
After a short tour of "downtown" Staniel Cay - showing them the government dock and the church and the cottage we rented last time, and a visit to Isles General Store to see what the shelves look like pre-mailboat, we deposited luggage on Madcap enjoyed slabs of coconut bread with fresh Irish butter as we caught up on the news. In the evening, we returned to the Yacht Club for the first Kaliks and a supper of fish sandwiches (mahi mahi) and fries and salads. It is always fun to introduce another group of visitors to this special place, including the requisite viewing of the nurse sharks swimming around under the wharf. They've travelled with us before in northern waters, so they didn't even complain about the "dinghy butt" (wet bottom) that is almost inevitable when we have 4 people in our little dinghy.
Fortunately the night was still and starlit so even though we all headed for books and bed by our usual time of 9pm, we had time enough to sit and enjoy the sky, and the crystal clear water that was so illuminated by the moon, we could see right to the bottom even after dark.
Today brought a leisurely breakfast of - yes - more coconut bread along with some Andros grapefruits and several pots of coffee. Linda and I went to town to pick up groceries - post mailboat. The Captain C was still at the dock so we had a look at the pallets laden with bags and boxes, stacks of lumber, and the piles of assorted other items that had been ordered by island residents, along with the crowd of golf carts there to pick up and deliver the goods. At Isles General, we had to wait 20 minutes or so while the local volunteers stocked the shelves and got everything in order. Once in the door, we scooped up peppers and bananas and even grapes, yogurt and meat and fresh milk. A stop at Brenda's yellow house netted a few more loaves of fragrant coconut bread - that we are going through like there is no tomorrow! Back at the dinghy dock, we ran into the lady of Northern Lights - anchored not far from us - and gave her a lift back to her boat so she wouldn't have to wait for her ride. (I just cannot remember her name - I hope we see her again so I can rectify that - and because she has travelled to so many places that I want to hear more of the stories too!)
Next on the agenda was snorkelling at Thunderball grotto. I was afraid we had missed slack tide and wouldn't be able to go in, but although there was some current, it was still safe and do-able. There is more colourful coral and a wider variety of fish in the park, but it never fails to be exciting to see this famous spot where James Bond had his fun and games. There are pictures in the yacht club of the making of the movie.
We had planned to dinghy over to Club Thunderball and then walk to Ocean Beach, but the fellows wanted to go ashore to get water and wander around - Charles with camera in hand - and then weather was coming in so Linda and I have enjoyed settling back with our books. Speaking of books, I am reading Chaos to Serenity by Martha Crikelair Wohlford, a long time resident of the island. I was thinking of buying it on Monday, but after I walked down the road in the company of her delightful grandson, Gage, who told me I "really should buy it because it is really interesting", it became a must have. I'm happy to have it because it fills in lots of history on the old days and the development of Staniel Cay, as well as giving a fascinating look at the adventurous life of a very cool lady!
Dinner will be hogfish - delivered, if not caught - by the Captain!
23/02/2010/9:00 am, Staniel Cay, Exumas
We tore ourselves away from Warderick Wells on Sunday and (mostly) sailed down to Staniel Cay. Our plan to sail as much as possible is working out well so far. We ran the engine for half an hour to charge up the batteries and sailed the rest of the way until we made the turn into Staniel Cay and turned on the engine again.
By the way, we have been very happy with the job our KISS wind generator has been doing. We were stopped at the park for 5 days and didn't turn on the engine or Honda generator once! Mind you, the wind did blow there!!
As we got close to Staniel, a familiar voice came over the VHF radio - Rob from Celebrian! (another Bayfield 36) He and Christine are tucked away next to Fowl Cay to wait out Monday's storm and we were sorely tempted to join them. We contacted Windswept IV, a boat Richard (Kilissa) had told us to look out for, and look forward to meeting them in person, and then we had fun acting as relay in a reunion conversation between Solution and Windswept IV.
Once anchored in front of the Yacht Club here, we hustled ourselves ashore to have a beer at the club and see the familiar sights remembered from our stay here 2 years ago. At that time, both our neighbours from Ottawa and our children joined us for visits. First stop was Brenda's - the yellow house on the street leading to the Blue Store - to order bread for the next day. Brenda's coconut bread rivals any around. We walked by Bernadette's pretty cottages that were home to our visitors last time, and checked to see if there were any fisherman at the dock. (No luck) We picked up onions and carrots and a pack of sliced ham and the one remaining yogurt container at the Blue Store - and were reminded why we try to bring staples with us. Things cost more here!
Then it was back to the Yacht Club where we perched at the bar and ate delicious fish sandwiches while we talked with Doug on Water Torture. With garbage disposed of (for a fee) and water cans filled (for a fee) and the resident nurse sharks observed, we dinghied back to the boat for a peaceful night.
Next morning was not so peaceful and we knew a front would be coming through later in the day, so we up anchored, intending to go around between the Majors, but we spotted a couple of empty mooring balls by Thunderball Club. Corning (Blessed Spirit) called to say he didn't think one of them was in very good shape (confirmed after we picked it up and examined it). We dinghied by the other one to check water depth and it seemed OK for a boat of our length (much longer and we'd be aground when we swung around to the south) so we moved over and picked up a nice new line.
Ashore again, we picked up the aromatic bread and managed to resist tearing into it right then, answered e-mails at the club (a wifi card is $10 for 24 hours), got a few more groceries at Isles General - and learned that the mail boat is coming on Wednesday, and if we want our pick of groceries we should be there by 11. As the wind picked up, we made our way back to Madcap without getting too wet. The evening saw us aboard Blessed Spirit for sundowners with Corning and Tita and their Canadian guests, Jack and Janet - and hope we didn't overstay our welcome. We enjoyed their hospitality and the conversation never lagged, but Jack was beginning to tip forward from fatigue! Mary and Blair (Strathspey) - if your ears were burning, it was because we were all saying such nice things about you and missing your company.
The wind blew hard again overnight and rain washed us nice and clean and we were pleased to be tucked in here with nice neighbours, a bit of shelter and and a secure tether!
Tuesday brings our own company, Charles and Linda from Ottawa, for a week or so of fun in the sun .... ah.... and blowing in the wind ...

The Clark College baseball team opened its season Saturday on a strong note as Tj Pruneda and Kevin Hamann combined on a three-hit shutout in beating the Linfield JV 3-0 at Kindsfather Field.
Linfield split the doubleheader by turning the tables in Game 2 with a four-hit 2-0 shutout victory.
In the opener, Pruneda allowed two hits with two strikeouts and two walks in four innings. Hamann earned the save by yielding one hit in three innings with two strikeouts and a walk.
David Mason was 2 for 4, Matt Hopp had a double, and Daniel Walsh had an RBI when he reached on an error with the bases loaded in the third inning. Two runs scored on Walsh's at-bat.
Clark added a run in the fourth when Mason singled to score Hopp, who had doubled with two outs.
Michael Gonzales and Spencer Ramsey also had a hit for Clark.
In the second game, Linfield managed just three hits off Clark starter Andrew Schenk, but made its two runs stand up for the win.
Gonzales, Jordan Swofford, Travis Dyer and Kyle Vanderkin had hits for Clark, which stranded seven baserunners.
Clark is next scheduled to play a doubleheader at noon Sunday at Clackamas.

Just remember this is the Mets. Murphy has a field day with them. If it can happen it will happen to the Mets.
You just gotta keep believing!
You forgot about the Shawn Greene rumors. Reports are that they are "close" to a deal.

The Mets continue to negotiate with the Diamondbacks regarding Green, but a deal wasn't imminent on Monday, and Green hadn't been asked to waive his no-trade clause.
"There's been nothing other than just the rumor mill," Green said prior to Monday's game against San Francisco. "There hasn't been official discussions. There's been nothing like that."
Arizona general manager Josh Byrnes has met with Green to keep him updated on the latest conversations while the team was in San Diego last weekend.
"He has just let me know that there's been some discussions," Green said. "I think that's very professional for him to do that. There have been discussions, but at least as of the last time I talked to him, he didn't know where things would end up—just that there have been talks."

Oklahoma State football: Quarterback Wes Lunt leaves game vs. Kansas State with injury
MANHATTAN, Kan. — Oklahoma State starting quarterback Wes Lunt left the Cowboys' contest against No. 2 Kansas State in early in the third quarter with an apparent injury.
Lunt appeared to be hobbled when he took a hit on a screen pass to Joseph Randle on OSU's first possession of the third quarter. He stayed in the game — and threw an interception two plays later — and was being looked at by the OSU training staff after coming off the field.
Clint Chelf replaced Lunt.
When he came out of the game, Lunt had completed 11 of 20 passes for 184 yards and one touchdown.

I'm somewhat skeptical of all "perceiving reality as it really is"-stuff, because there's always some kind of interpretation going on in my opinion. Good viewpoints anyways. When you're converting signals and ideas to - for example - English language, compression can be incredibly lossy. Language is a tool humans use for communication, thinking and some related cognitive tasks. If the used tool is primitive, not in good condition, or maybe more suited to some other tasks, the result might be not so good. I see no reason to believe that any contemporary language would be perfect for many purposes. English is perfect for some tasks like trolling message boards, but it's really clumsy for some others like describing reality.
This is also why political correctness is so destructive. It's even further dulling the only tool most people have for cognitive thinking.
woaa... I wonder whether that makes sense or not

Hi All, I've got my fresh install of zimbra working. I have a few questions:
I created a user account under the initial domain during the zimbra install. I was able to login under the user with out entering the email address part. Then, I created a second domain and created a user account under the second domain but this time I can only login using the email@example.com... I'd like to know why that is and if I may have to do something to make that work.
Also, I plan on having several domains and user accounts created from these domains. I'd like to create one user account under a particular domain and have that account receive emails from the other user account that I create. I want to receive and send emails for all these users from this one user account. What's the best way to do this?
Will appreciate all comments/suggestions!

The No. 22 Cornerstone volleyball team continues its WHAC play at home on Saturday when they host Marygrove and Concordia at Mol Arena. The Golden Eagles are 13-4 overall while holding a 3-1 conference record. The volleyball squad will face the WHAC opponents at 1 p.m. and 3:30 p.m., respectively.
This past week, Cornerstone hosted Aquinas College for their annual Night of Nets campaign and 80's night. In the match the Golden Eagles swept the visiting team 3-0 while impressing a crowd of roughly 875 screaming fans dressed up for 80's night.
Scouting the Competitors
Marygrove currently holding a 7-10 overall and 0-3 conference record will enter Saturday's match after a dominate performance over Great Lakes Christian. The Mustangs hosted Great Lakes on Wednesday coming out with an impressive sweep (25-11, 25-3, 25-10). Marygrove was led by Kiara Cobbs with 12 kills and adding the Mustangs lone block of the match.
Concordia comes into Saturday holding a 13-15 overall record. The Cardinals have yet to notch a win in WHAC play and currently carry a 0-5 record. Concordia is coming off a recent loss to No. 17 Madonna University, 0-3. The Cardinals are led by Layne Molosky who has record 194 kills this season while Shannon Pietruszk has helped on the defensive side with 437 digs.
Looking Ahead
The Golden Eagles will then travel to Dearborn to face another WHAC opponent, UM-Dearborn, on Wednesday. Game time is set for 7 p.m.

"Living Drug" Stem Cells to Fight Cancer, Blindness, HIV—and Infertility?
Led by PBS's Charlie Rose, top US stem cell experts this month hailed new clinic-bound techniques designed to persuade "aspects of the body to cure itself," as New York Stem Cell Foundation head Susan Solomon put it.
The main technique hailed involves making stem cells from adult cells, then forging those into armies of robust, proliferating, specialized cells that may let people essentially cure their own blindness; kill their own tumors; and, as Cornell Center for Reproductive Medicine chief Zev Rosenwaks noted, "obliterate" their own infertility.
"Clearly there is enormous hope," Rose told the standing-room-only crowd at the Ansary Stem Cell Symposium in New York City. "The people in this room" shoulder "enormous responsibility for the future of medicine."
The meeting's "topic du jour" was the "induced pluripotent stem cell" (iPSC) technique, in which researchers create replicating, multi-potent stem cells out of limited adult cells. Harvard University hematologist George Daley noted the first IPSC trial was launched last year--fittingly, in Japan. IPSCs were first created there, in the Osaka University lab of developmental biologist Shinya Yamanaka. In 2007, Yamanaka showed he created human iPSCs by genetically tweaking only four genes. Ever since, researchers have been creating iPSCs, studying them, and trying to turn them into armies of rejuvenated adult cells.
It has not been easy. The cells often don't dedifferentiate fully, and can go tumorous. But enough finessing has apprently occurred that some researchers are comfortable launching the world's first iPSC clinical trial, which began enrollment in Japan last year. The aim is to help heal damaged retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells in macular degeneration patients. In that trial, RPE cells made from iPSCs will be transplanted.
Another reason the first IPSC trial is occurring in Japan, said Solomon: "Japan's equivalent of the NIH" is so excited about iPSCs that it is "streamlining" some regulations to fast-track progress to the clinic.
Daley noted there is reason to be optimistic about that trial. The same RPE transplantation approach earlier hit the clinic using human embryonic stem cells (ES cells) with "encouraging results."
"Drugs and surgery don't treat degenerative diseases," he said. But stem cells—both native and created—can. "It is a paradigm shift. The notion that cells are stable entities has changed."
Game Changer
MIT geneticist Rudy Jaenisch discussed how new, precise gene-editing techniques called Crispr and Cas9 are letting him correct genetic mutations in all kinds of cells--including iPSCs. These techniques induce a double-stranded DNA break, which prompts meticulous DNA repair mechanisms to swing into gear "without leaving a genetic footprint…This makes for very precise gene editing. You can target many genes at the same time." He thinks genetically engineered iPSCs may correct patients' polygenic disorders in the not-too-distant future.
Recently, genetic engineering of iPSCs from Rett Syndrome patients led to discoveries about the initiation of the disease—and a potential drug target that is now being tested in a clinical trial, he said.
"This system represents a game-changer," he said. "It has transformed the field for disease modeling."
Sloan Kettering oncologist Michel Sadelain presented his latest clinical trial data showing that patients' T cells can be engineered to go after their own tumors—by creating hybrid T cell/antibodies that zoom in on particular antigens on B Cell Lymphoma cells. The approach is so clinically successful that last year, Science made it--and like cancer immunology procedures-- "breakthroughs of the year."
Sadelain said his next step was to create iPSCs out of ordinary blood cells, and shape them into hybrid T/antibody cells. By creating iPSCs first, he can create larger armies of cells, he noted.
Later he told Bioscience Technology that stem cells are among the most permanent residents of the body. They don't turn over as quickly as T cells can. So theoretically, his iPSC-turned-killer-Ts could become long-lived guardians of cancer patients, protecting them from cancer for years.
Longer Lasting, Living Drugs
Rosenwaks reported that some groups are creating eggs and/or sperm from iPSCs. So far the only published work has been in animals. But those animals have even procreated using germ cells made by turning back the clock on older cells via the iPSC approach. Many have noted it will be revolutionary if/when that feat is repeated in older women.
And several speakers pointed out that cloning's recent comeback should speed things up. Last year, Oregon Health and Science University researcher Shoukhrat Mitalipov cloned human cells for the first time. He took the nuclei of adult human cells, popped them into enucleated eggs, and let the eggs turn back the clock on the older cells—the way they do sperm—to create "young" ES cells genetically identical to their donors.
This year, more groups pulled off the feat, one group in cells from patients as old as 75. Cloning, at this juncture, appears to more reliably create physiologic ES cells than the iPSC approach. It "will help us identify all the factors letting the egg transform the nucleus," said Alan Trounson, former head of the $3 billion California Institute of Regenerative Medicine (CIRM).
Cautionary notes were sounded. Mitalopov said iPSCs are "stem cells that don't exist in the body." They must be understood before being widely used, he said. And Trounson noted iPSCs are many years behind ES cells.
But there was an indisputable air of excitement. Trounson said progress is being made with genetically engineered stem cells and HIV. CIRM-funded scientists are mutating a receptor gene on patient blood stem and CD4 T cells. That mutation blocks HIV from entering. Replacing immune systems via these cells may bring ever closer "the possibility of curing HIV AIDS," he said. Clinical trials are ongoing. One patient—the "Berlin Patient" – has been cured.
Concluded Sadelain: "We are finding the keys to longer lasting, living drugs."

The overall performance was very entertaining. The harmonizing by the four performers was par excellence. Some of the patter was a bit inane and more singing would have filled the bill better for me. But, really can't complain about the memories which these songs brought back. A very good way to get into the spirit of the season.

I've seen posts about Symantec being slow in keeping up with Mac OS versions for SEP as well. For the Backup Exec Agent to be so far behind the current version of Mac OS is unacceptable. Mac OS is now up to 10.8. This version has been in the beta testing arena for Mac OS developers since at least February. How can Symantec possibly justify being so far behind? It's time for Symantec to pick up their game with development cycles of their Mac software.
Support 10.7.4 for Mac!
After getting the communication working between the backup server and the Mac server we started having issues with backup speed. This is when you created a new call for us.
After testing the backup we found that the backup ran for around 20 minutes before failing with a communication error between the two servers.
I then spoke to Chetan about the backup speed and communication and he suggested installing 2012 on a different server to test. He said that this would fix the issues with the communication and speed, but unfortunately it hasn't.
2012 is installed, and the 2012 mac agent is installed on the mac server. I have also established the trust relationship between the two servers.
When running a backup job it seems ok, but then after about 5GB backed up it fails and starts the verify before completing the failed job.
We have MAC OS 10.7.4 and I have now been told by Chetan that this is not supported.
Please could this be added as a request that it is supported?

Gordon Bombay is forced to withdraw from the minor hockey league with a knee injury. Much to his surprise, he is given the job of coach of Team USA Hockey for the Junior Goodwill Games in California. With most of the Ducks and a few new players in tow, he sets forth for LA. All appears to be going well for a while, but the hype of Hollywood starts to get to Gordon, and he is distracted when Iceland, the favourites to win the title, appear on the scene.

New Android apps worth downloading: Netflix update, Vellamo Mobile Benchmark, Voxel Invaders
by Marty Gabel
Here are three great Android apps to enjoy. The new Netflix update for Android matches the functionality offered by the iOS version by bringing the smartphone app more in tune with the tablet offering. Vellamo Mobile Benchmark has been around for a while, but got a great new UI design and some new test to try out. Finally, Voxel Invaders is a fun space-based old-school shoot-em-up which brings Space Invaders into the 21st century.
Netflix update (Free)
What's it about? Just like its iOS counterpart, the Netflix Android app just got an update to mimic some the functionality of the tablet version.
What's cool? At the top of the browse screen are some new options, like the ability to continue viewing shows or movies that you previously started watching right where you left off. The Instant Queue is now presented on the home screen just below your Top 10 list, and further down there are several personalized rows with movie and TV show recommendations.
Who is it for? The app and its new update works on devices running Android versions 2.2 and above. Subscribers of Netflix should appreciate these new enhancements.
What's it like? There are a few similar apps to Netflix in Google Play like Hulu Plus, HBO Go, Crackle - Movies & TV and Google's own Movies & TV service.
Vellamo Mobile Benchmark (Free)
What's it about? With a fresh, new redesign, Vellamo Mobile Benchmark from Qualcomm is a great way to test the performance of your Android device and compare it to others.
What's cool? As well as a brand new user interface, Vellamo will now benchmark HTML5 video, DOM performance, web page load/reload, and WebGL. It supports both ARM and x86 processors and evaluates scrolling and zooming, 3-D graphics, video performance, memory read/write and peak bandwidth performance.
Who is it for? People who like to tweak their devices for the most speed possible, especially if rooted, will definitely dig Vellamo Mobile Benchmark. But it can be valuable for anyone who just wants an idea of where their device excels or perhaps falls short.
What's it like? There are a few other benchmarking apps available like AnTuTu Benchmark, Quadrant Standard Edition, CPU Benchmark and numerous others. So even though Vellamo is one of the prettiest, there are others to try if it doesn't work out for you.
Voxel Invaders ($2.49)
What's it about? Here's a fun new take on the old classic Space Invaders but with some cool graphics and neat 3-D effects.
What's cool? The game faithfully recreates the old-school action you're used to, but its fresh 3-D look enables you to move your ship in four directions to dodge enemies while you blast them. There are 24 levels containing more than 140 stages so there's certainly plenty of bang for your two-and-a-half bucks.
Who is it for? Voxel Invaders will certainly appeal to fans of the original Space Invaders, but even if you never played that, it's still a fun blaster with lots to enjoy. There are nine different weapons, three difficulty levels and simple one-touch controls, and the vintage sound effects are fun.
What's it like? Check out Space Invaders Infinity Gene for a really great take on the original or else look to Radiant or even Velocispider which we featured just yesterday!

The Gaza Flotilla and Lawfare
By David French:
Yesterday, while driving near Denver, I caught a lengthy NPR report on the latest Gaza Flotilla. This year's (potentially deadly) episode of protest theater stars not only Code Pink founder Medea Benjamin but also noted author Alice Walker. Walker is sailing because — and I am not making this up – she loves "children," "water," "trees," and "parents who are happy." I love those things as well, but for some reason I don't feel compelled to support terrorists against our close democratic allies.
While the flotilla is obviously intended as a public-relations challenge to Israel, it has a not-so-hidden legal element as well. For years, the Left has tried to narrow and constrict the law of armed conflict so that it effectively denies Israel (and, by extension, the U.S.) the ability to conduct effective combat operations against jihadists. And while the legality of military blockades against belligerents is well-established under the laws of war, the Left essentially and functionally denies that a state of armed conflict or actual "war" exists against Hamas.

Reliant Energy is converting 10 Toyota Prius gasoline-electric hybrids to plug-in electric and installing 10 recharging stations, most of which are available to the public, throughout Houston.
Though the city won't charge for electricity, drivers must buy a $10 pass key. In addition to text-messaging or e-mailing subscribers when their vehicle is done charging, Coulomb Technologies' password-protected ChargePoint Network allows drivers to find unoccupied stations via Web-enabled cell phones.
"We expect the lessons learned from the pilot program to enable us to make better decisions for future infrastructure investment," says Houston's Assistant Finance Director James Tillman, who estimates each converted Prius will save the city $1,400 annually.
Of the city's 12,500 vehicles, 750 are gasoline-electric hybrids such as the Ford Escape, Chevrolet Malibu, Club Car Carryall, Toyota Camry, and Toyota Highlander.
These new M318F and M320F Wheel Excavators can handle those special plant projects.

Planned Specialty in Medicine: Family Medicine
The most unforgettable moment about VCOM's orientation was hospitality of the faculty and staff. I felt like I was being welcomed home!
I am interested in family medicine because I don't think I could ever limit myself to a specialty. Family medicine is a broad discipline that allows a physician to provide care in almost every spectrum of medicine. My future plan is to join a small family practice serving the needs of a medically under-served community and settle down to have a family.If asked, my friends would tell you that I am a crazy workaholic who's learning to get all the work done and still makes sure that I have time for fun.

We couldn't think of a better way to spend our Sunday night than with music's uber elite, their major designer duds, and their even major…er career milestones. The 65th Annual Grammy Awards started off with some almost too-hot-to-handle Jayoncé (Jay-Z & Beyoncé) PDA and ended with Daft Punk being awarded "Best Album Of The Year" for Random Access Memories (not a surprise, considering their hit record, Get Lucky, was everyone's jam!). We even witnessed thirty heartfelt nuptials during a collaborative performance of Same Love (not gonna lie, we cried).
With a bottle of wine (or two, okay…more like four), a bag full of Jack in the Box, and the television #turntup to a ridiculous volume, we sat in awe as we were treated to twenty performances! Yes, twenty, veinte, vingt, nijuu! Twelve of those performances being brilliant collaborations that paired up some voices that created beautiful, heart-pounding, feet-shuffling harmonies. Host LL Cool J explained at the beginning of the show that the theme was "Music brings people together…" and boy, did it certainly do so last night!

Lawmakers Propose Banning the Mass. Physician Gift Ban
A Massachusetts law banning pharma and medical device companies from giving most gifts to doctors went into effect only a year ago. But a proposal from the speaker of the House of Representatives would rescind the ban due to its purported ill effects on the state's economy, the Boston Herald reports.
This is a hot topic, as our previous invitations for comments have shown.
As the Herald reports, some criticized the ban for making the state "appear hostile to the biotech and medical-device industry in general." And at least one medical group, the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology, moved its 2015 annual meeting from Boston, saying the ban would prevent the group from offering continuing medical education credit for industry presentations.
Georgia Maheras, private market policy manager at the nonprofit Health Care for All, tells the Health Blog her organization hasn't found any other groups that have canceled conventions because of the law. (An expansion of the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center is actually being planned.) Moreover, she says the fall-off in the restaurant business is comparable to what's happened nationwide because of the recession.
The law doesn't ban all industry-purchased meals, but limits them to a hospital setting. It bans gifts of trinkets such as pens and requires that all payments of $50 or more for things including consulting and speaking be disclosed. Maheras says even inexpensive goodies can influence physicians' decisions and "set up a relationship of reciprocity."
The law doesn't cover disclosure of payments made to doctors to do clinical research, an omission that raised criticism.
Some big institutions — including Johns Hopkins and Harvard-affiliated hospitals — have either restricted or increased disclosure of their doctors' ties to industry. And companies themselves, including Medtronic, Pfizer, Eli Lilly, Merck and GlaxoSmithKline have also initiated programs to disclose payments over a certain amount to physicians.
Update: This post was updated to include comments from Maheras and further details of the law.
