General Surgery
Informal Description of the Clinical Discipline
The discipline of surgery encompasses many fields. General Surgery Residency requires a minimum of five years of graduate training. Several subspecialties require completion of a General Surgery Residency prior to subspecialty training (e.g. Cardiothoracic Surgery, Vascular Surgery, Pediatric Surgery). Other subspecialties require one to two years of General Surgery training. General Surgery Residency is a rigorous but exciting experience. Over the course of the residency, progressive responsibility is given to the trainee. During the five years, the residents gain exposure to a broad spectrum of surgical and nonsurgical diseases. Although acquisition of technical skills is important, the time and experience required to develop mature clinical judgment is the reason for a five year program.
Most surgeons would agree that there is tremendous immediate and tangible satisfaction in the successful outcome of a well performed operative procedure. Surgical decision making is both an art and a science and demands a constant updating of current knowledge as well as the ability to put that knowledge to practical clinical use. Surgery incorporates proven practices while at the same time fostering technological innovation.
In these days of financial turmoil in the medical world as well as reorganization of the delivery of health care, medical students are often plagued by doubts as to their future education in medicine. However, as the science and art of clinical surgery are further refined, the rewards of surgical practice in terms of personal satisfaction as well as patient appreciation will remain great. These rewards are unique to the field and will remain unscathed by future economic and political events. The foundation of surgery is solid and the future is bright.
Informal Description of the Clinical Discipline
Although Ophthalmology is sometimes regarded as a highly specialized field, the general ophthalmologist is, in fact, a primary care physician. Patients who consult an ophthalmologist usually are self-referred and range in age from the newborn to the geriatric. The ophthalmologist, like other primary care physicians, has the opportunity to get to know and follow patients and their families, allowing for continuity of care.
Most ophthalmologists practice a mixture of medicine and surgery, ranging from lens prescriptions and standard medical treatment to the most delicate and precise operative procedures. The average American Ophthalmologist will see over one hundred patients in a work week and will perform two major medical surgical procedures, the most common being cataract extraction. Ophthalmologists have always ranked among the most professionally satisfied physicians. This is probably due to the opportunity to practice general ophthalmology in both the medical and surgical fields, the broad diversity of the patient population and the option to become subspecialized if one desires.
Like many other specialties, ophthalmology has undergone considerable subspecialization. This usually requires a fellowship of one or two years. The common areas of subspecialization include Cornea, Vitreoretinal Disease, Glaucoma, Neuro-ophthalmology, Ophthalmic Pathology, Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery and Pediatric Ophthalmology.
Nationally, approximately 90% of applicants obtained a first year position. Experience has shown that no single factor assures an applicant of obtaining a residency. Academic performance is certainly one factor. This is measured by college grade point, medical school class rank and grades, and Standardized Board scores. Letters of recommendation, particularly the Dean's Letter, are important. Applications are screened to select those to be interviewed Some programs interview most applicants, while others are very selective. A good interview can overcome deficiencies in other areas and a bad interview can dim an otherwise fine application. It should be emphasized that each residency program weighs these factors differently, some placing more emphasis on academic, some on research and others on the interview. Ophthalmology uses an early matching system to determine the selections.
Urological Surgery
Informal Description of the Clinical Discipline
Urology is the specialty involved with the male and female genitourinary tract. It is primarily a surgical discipline but is broad enough to interact with a variety of other disciplines: nephrology, oncology, endocrinology, behavioral science, and neurology. During the last two decades, a notable shift from structure to function has occurred in the diagnosis and treatment of such problems as male sexual dysfunction, voiding disorders, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and female incontinence.
Traditionally, urologists were distinguished by their use of diagnostic and therapeutic instrumentation of the genitourinary tract. Recent developments in the field of urologic instrumentation such as extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, laparoscopy, and laser technology have replaced open surgery in the treatment of various urologic disorders, primarily in the treatment of stone disease. Nevertheless, abdominal, pelvic and retroperitoneal surgery is a prominent feature in the treatment of urologic cancers and in reconstruction of the urinary tract. Therefore, the student planning a career in urology will recognize the important roles of basic science, clinical medicine, urotechnology, and operative technique in the diagnosis and treatment of urologic pathology.
Future manpower trends in urology portend favorably to a career choice. Despite the diffusion of urologic procedures into other specialties, the role of the urologist will be increasingly demanded particularly as the field of geriatric medicine emerges. A decrease in the total number of urology residency positions currently available requires that students gain early exposure to urology during their clinical rotations and submit applications to residency programs in a timely manner. As a constantly evolving field, urology provides both the practitioner and academician with challenges and rewards of treating patients by a variety of modalities.
The field of Plastic Surgery draws upon many different fields of surgery. Plastic and Reconstructive surgeons must be knowledgeable and skilled in areas such as acute and chronic burn and wound management, hand and upper extremity disease, congenital and acquired maxillofacial and craniofacial deformities, cancer and traumatic reconstruction of the extremities, breast, head and neck, and trunk, as well as all aspects of cosmetic surgery. No other field encompasses such a scope of practice. Additionally, plastic surgeons may choose to sub-specialize in any one of these aforementioned areas.
There are generally two routes to becoming a plastic and reconstructive surgeon: an independent pathway or an integrated pathway. More and more students and programs are choosing the integrated approach. Briefly, an integrated pathway is typically a 6-year residency program where the plastic surgery resident will complete 2-3 years of general surgery and then immediately go into 3-4 years of plastic surgery. This is advantageous as the length of training is slightly shorter than an independent pathway. The independent pathway is the classic pathway whereby one completes a full residency in general surgery, ENT, urology, or orthopedics and subsequently does a 3-year fellowship in plastic surgery. Thus, training would be at least 8 years in length.
Regardless of the path taken, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery is an exciting and innovative field. One can tailor their practice to their interests or even their lifestyle, and both private practice and academic options are available.

Preseason/Week 1 MLB Power Rankings
As mentioned in a previous post, Fantasy Baseball Dugout is participating in Yardbarker's Blogger Poll for MLB Power Rankings in 2010. In addition to ranking each MLB team 1-30, we are also tasked with providing analysis all year on the closely competitive AL West.
See below for our full preseason team rankings. All links below point to our archive pages devoted to each particular team linked. Go there to find blog posts relating to each club.
Our analysis of each AL West team is also spread throughout this blog post.
Nothing too fancy to start the season. Yanks and Phils finished 2010 at the top of the heap, and we predict they both will once again return to the World Series… so they start the year at no. 1 and no. 2, respectively.
After reading these rankings, we know you will want to pick us apart for some of them. Feel free to voice your concern over these rankings in the comments below.
- New York Yankees
- Philadelphia Phillies
- Boston Red Sox
- St. Louis Cardinals
- Tampa Bay Rays
- Los Angeles Dodgers
- Colorado Rockies
- Seattle Mariners: The bullpen roster doesn't provide much faith. On paper, the M's start as best in the AL West.
- Detroit Tigers
- Minnesota Twins
- New York Mets
- Los Angeles Angels: Lost a lot of ground to the rest of the AL West. Will be a good race between them and the Mariners.
- San Francisco Giants
- Atlanta Braves
- Florida Marlins
- Texas Rangers: Improved team in 2010, but health is going to be critical to success. If healthy – it's a three team race. Injuries clearly keep this team as 3rd best, however.
- Cincinnati Reds
- Chicago Cubs
- Milwaukee Brewers
- Chicago White Sox
- Arizona Diamondbacks
- Washington Nationals
- Oakland Athletics: They have good pitching, and they're gonna need it with that lineup.
- Pittsburgh Pirates
- Baltimore Orioles
- Kansas City Royals
- Toronto Blue Jays
- Houston Astros
- Cleveland Indians
- San Diego Padres

About Roses on the Windshield
Hello and welcome to Roses on the Windshield. It's a very special place. A refuge of love and sharing. A place to read inspiring stories of the things people do to show and share their love with their loves.This site is dedicated to lovers, falling in love, being in love and (especially) staying in love. I'm Paul Flood and I created it to show my love for my wife, Brenda. During a particularly challenging moment in my life, Brenda put a Rose on my Windshield that lifted my spirits, strengthened our love and changed my life.
Here is the story of Roses on the Windshield
August 25, 2008 – I awoke this morning after a rather fitful sleep, stressed and worried about a lot of things that are happening in my life. As I do every morning, I turned over to snuggle with Brenda (after 28 years, still the best way to start my day).
She sensed my pain and asked me what was bothering me. I shared my thoughts and feelings and cried on her shoulder. She said "Check your email."
Check my email? Hmmm.
I went into my office, got my laptop and brought it with me to the bedroom. With my love at my side, I opened Outlook and clicked on the note with the subject "Read this first."
What was in the email from Brenda?
Well, before I share it with you so that you understand the power of Brenda's message, I need to give a bit of a background.
Like many in love, Brenda and I like to surprise each other with little things that say "I love you." One of my favorites is giving her flowers. It's my way of saying "You bring color and beauty into my life every day. The flowers are a way for me to bring color and beauty into yours. When you see them, smile and know how much I love you."
Every once in a while, I will buy a single pink rose (Brenda's favorite) and drive over to where she works and place it on the windshield of her car. When she gets off after a long day at work and walks to her car, I know she will smile, and maybe even cry.
Brenda tells me her co-workers ask her, "Did Paul do something? Did you have a fight?" She says, "No, Roses on my Windshield is one of the things he does to show his love for me."
– Roses on the Windshield –
What are yours?
Every day, we live. Every day, we love or long for love.
Every day, millions of people in love wonder if their husband, wife, girlfriend or boyfriend really loves them.
Love… How can we express a feeling that is beyond words? With little things. With words. With looks. With hugs and pats. With notes. With Roses on the Windshield.
What are your Roses on the Windshield? How are you telling your love about your love? What are the little things that you do to surprise them? Of all of God's gifts, the greatest is love. It is one of the few things in life that not only makes our lives better, but makes the world a better place.
Roses on the Windshield are not just for lovers. They are there to share with our children, our parents, our brothers, sisters, neighbors, co-workers and pets. They may be flowers. They may be words, smiles, notes or an attitude. The key for us is to realize that the Roses are always staring us directly in the eyes, to realize that somewhere… no, everywhere, somebody craves Roses on their Windshield.
Back to my story.
What did Brenda write that made me
Cry that Monday morning?
"This is the rose on the windshield of your car!!!
Dear Babe,If you don't remember, I told you this song reminds me of you. Please listen to the lyrics of "The Time of my Life". It says it all. This is the time of your life. The time for you to shine. The time for you to show others and to teach others the gifts that you have.
The time for you to achieve all that you want to achieve. The time for you to be proud of yourself. The time for us. The time of our future.The song talks about the ups and downs but ends up with the upside of it all.
I believe in you. I believe in what you can do. I believe the knowledge you have to give. I believe in the spirit and enthusiasm you have to give. I believe in you winning it all!
As I watched the closing ceremonies of the Olympics, I thought of you. Working so hard for the goal. Working for the gold. But at the end becoming one with each other. And becoming one with the universe. Thank God we are one with each other.
Now that we are, again, empty nesters, I feel like we are starting over. Go for the GOLD. You are my love, my life and my soul mate."
Your Babe"
Included in the email was a link to a YouTube video of David Cook, the 2008 American Idol winner singing "The time of My Life", which you can watch by clicking here.
The Power of Roses in Words and Actions
Love can Make a Difference
Since that day, many people have shared beautiful stories of their Roses with me and also said Roses on the Windshield struck a very deep chord with them. They told me it's something very special, an inspirational message of love that people from around the world are hungry to hear and share.
I realized how powerful the message of Roses on the Windshield can be. People were saying they wanted what we have.
Others were saying, "We do those things too!"
I started thinking differently about Roses on the Windshield. People were asking for more. Others wanted to share their Roses. I got excited about ways to gather and share Roses from around the world. I started dreaming about it. I started talkng about it. I felt I was on a mission and could not stop thinking about it.
That brought another thought to mind. How Roses are captured in a single moment in time through the magic of a gesture of love or the lens of a camera. Like the photo to the right of Brenda and me at the original site of the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, 27 years after we visited while on our honeymoon.
That's when Roses on the Windshield grew a bit bigger.
What if I were to add pictures to the stories of love? After all, love can be so hard to express in words and we all know that a picture tells a thousand words!
Lovers, authors, photographers – This is my call to you to share your Roses in words and pictures. Share your secrets of staying in love with your Roses on the Windshield stories. Show us the beauty of Roses and love in your photographs. Help proclaim to the world the beauty of love and Roses on the Windshield.
Help us touch lives and spread the message of love…One Rose at a time.
With love and Roses on your Windshield,
Paul & Brenda Flood

Pinewood Shepperton, the studios where films including the latest Harry Potter film and the James Bond franchise were shot, has received a takeover approach valuing the business at £88m.
The studio group, which is chaired by former ITV executive chairman Michael Grade, has received a takeover offer of 190p per share from existing shareholder Peel Holdings, valuing the business at just short of £90m.
Peel, the commercial property group which has leased part of the MediaCityUK site to the BBC in Salford, is Pinewood's largest shareholder with a stake of 29.78%.
Pinewood is home to a range of productions including the next Clash of the Titans film starring Avatar actor Sam Worthington and TV shows including Dancing On Ice, The Weakest Link and My Family.
The company issued a statement following a 10% rise in its share price on Friday, up 16.35p to 176p, acknowledging the approach which it said "may or may not lead to an offer being made for the company'.
The company reported a 31% rise in pre-tax profits to £5.8m for the year to the end of December. Revenues increased 8% to £43.4m year on year. Net debt stood at £42.7m at year end.
In March the studio announced an initiative to invest a stake of up to 20% in films with production budgets of about £2m in the hope of following the success of Oscar-winner The King's Speech, which cost £9m to make and has grossed more than £150m.
In February, the studio group announced a franchise deal in the Dominican Republic which it hopes will give it a foothold in the fast-growing Latin American film and TV market.
Other joint venture deals, designed to give the Pinewood brand a global footprint, have resulted in the creation of Pinewood Toronto Studios and Pinewood Malaysia Iskandar Studios, with the latter due to open in 2013.

Prediction League 2013Date published: Friday, February 15, 2013
The competition will run throughout the Kingstone Press Championship 1 season proper and will not include the play offs. The overall winner will be the person at the end of the season who has accumulated the most points. There will also be winners at the end of each month and stage winners. Stage 1 Rounds 1-6, Stage 2 Rounds 7-12 and Stage 3 Rounds 13 – 18.
Prizes will be announced once the number of participants are known and will include match tickets, club merchandise, season tickets and hospitality places.
I have used the same points system as last season as I feel it succeeded in giving a wider spread of points and rewarded excellence further.
Predict the winning team 5 points
Predict a draw 10 points
Bonus Points
Predict the exact score 20 points
Predict between 1&3 points (accumulated) 10 points
Predict between 4&6 points (accumulated) 8 points
Predict between 7&9 points (accumulated) 6 points
Predict between 10&12 points (accumulated) 4 points
Predict between 13&15 points (accumulated) 2 points
Accumulated scores mean the difference between your predicted score for each team and the actual scores for each team.
Examples with an actual score of Oldham 36 Rochdale 12
Predicted score Oldham 32 Rochdale 16.
The accumulated difference would be 8 and you would get 11 points (5 for the winning team and 6 for the accumulated difference.)
Predicted score Oldham 22 Rochdale 8
This time the accumulated difference would be 18 and you would get 5 points only for the correct result.
Predicted score Oldham 36 Rochdale 12
You would score 25 points for correct score and result
Examples with actual score of Oldham 20 Rochdale 20
Predicted score Oldham 18 Rochdale 18
This time the accumulated difference would be 4 and you would score 18 points, 10 for the predicted draw and 8 for the accumulated difference.
This year there will be no bonus points for the accumulated difference if you get the result wrong.

If you haven't yet signed your child up for 4-H Camp, now is the time to do so. Generally, camp is open to LaRue County youth ages 9 to 14 years old or fourth through eighth grades. New this year, current third-graders may attend.
One of the most common ways we tend to make food taste good is by adding salt. Unfortunately, most American diets are too high in sodium which can raise blood pressure and lead to major health issues including heart disease. Herbs provide a great way for us to limit our sodium intake while still consuming flavorful foods.
Accidents and fires involving electricity result in more than a thousand deaths and tens of thousands of injuries each year. The majority of those tragedies could be prevented with greater awareness of how to stay safe. Electrical fires are particularly destructive and deadly. This is why the National Electrical Safety Foundation has declared May as National Electrical Safety Month.
In keeping with a statewide trend, the annual survey of tourism spending in Kentucky showed an increase in LaRue County in 2012. All nine of the state's tourism regions registered gains for 2012 compared with 2011.
Tourism expenditures for 2012 locally reached $8,319,335; an increase of $335,328 over the previous year.
Angela Renee White and James Patrick Lyvers were married April 5, 2014.
The ceremony was held at Southern Grace and Charm Bed and Breakfast.
The bride is the daughter of Ralph and Eva White of Campbellsville. She is a teacher for LaRue County Schools.
The groom is the son of Larry and Theresa Lyvers of Bardstown. He is a sales manager for Johnan America.

When warm weather arrives, you might get the urge to walk barefoot through the grass. But before you stroll through your lawn or head out on a hiking trail, you'll want to protect yourself and your loved ones from ticks that often lurk in tall grass, thick brush, and wooded areas. Many ticks carry disease, so do what you can to keep ticks from taking a bite out of you.

EXCLUSIVE: Andrew Adamson's Strange Weather Films has acquired Blackpine, a pitch that will be written by Cory Goodman. The title refers to the hometown of a soldier returning from Afghanistan, where he plans to raise his 12-year-old daughter. The mining community has fallen on hard times, but he makes a go of it until his daughter goes missing. He launches into a frantic search to find her, and in the process uncovers a conspiracy within the town, with a supernatural twist. No distributor yet, but Strange Weather is funding development under its deal with Reel Fx partners Cary Granat and Ed Jones. It's produced by Adamson and Aron Warner, with Jeff Fierson exec producing. Warner and Fierson hatched the idea and plans to shoot it in New Zealand; he is producing but is not attached to direct. WME-repped Goodman's scripting credits include Apollo 18, Priest and Last Witch Hunter at Summit, which made the most recent Black List, and he just sold the pilot Haunted to ABC. Goodman's managed by Adam Goldworm Aperture Entertainment.
'Blackpine' Pitch Goes To Andrew Adamson
8 Comments
Great news for Cory! One of my favorite writers.
Another sale for this guy? Excellent. Big fan of Last Witch Hunter and (believe it or not) the screenplay for Priest was truly killer. Expecting great things from this match up.
what's the Black List and why is it so powerful?
From what I know about the Black List its 100 or so of the most-talked about, most-buzze about – but unproduced – screenplays of each year. Of that list , the top 10 are considered the 'cream of the crop" if you will. Getting on the list signifies exceptional "something" and is much more likely to get it produced.
Sounds a lot like a spec called THE VOID (2009).
I was 100% interested until the supernatural conspiracy kicked in, then it dropped to 10%. The subtext in this thing better be handled masterfully.
Alternate title: "Burton Holler."
You see what I'm talking about here.
Wow that sounds like crap. Good idea Aron (he's quite the genius).

Genotype × Region Interaction for Two-Row Barley Yield in Canada

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) breeding programs recognize eastern and western Canada as separate target regions, but the extent of local adaptation to regions and subregions within them has not been studied. Genotype × region and subregion interactions were estimated in 145 lines from the two-row barley cross Harrington/TR306 in 22 trials in 1992-1993. The trials were grouped into five subregions (Maritimes–Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba–North Dakota, Saskatchewan, and Alberta) and two regions (eastern Canada and western Canada plus North Dakota). Variance components were estimated by a model in which the genotype × location σ2 GL variance was subdivided into a genotype × region (or subregion) variance σ2 GS , and a within-region or -subregion σ2 GL No σ2 GS was observed within the eastern or western regions, and genotypic correlations across subregions within regions approached 1.0. Significant σ2 GS was observed for eastern versus western Canada, but the correlation between genotypic effects across these regions was 0.83. In a selection experiment, subdivision of the eastern or western regions did not increase response. Selection in the east produced greater yields in both the east and west. The same genotype ranked first for yield in both regions. There was little specific adaptation to subregions, and two-row barley genotypes were broadly adapted across northern North America. Further subdivision of the regions is unwarranted, and selection in either region is likely to result in response in the other. The lack of local adaptation indicates that breeding programs that test broadly are likely to outperform ones that are narrowly targeted.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

Fishers woman faces animal cruelty charge
Investigators say an argument between a woman and her live-in boyfriend ended when the woman tossed her boyfriend's dog off a second floor balcony, killing it.
Sarah Rust, 28, is charged with animal cruelty, a class D felony in the death of Raider, boyfriend Shawn Davidson's dog.
According to court documents, the couple had an argument on January 24 that got out of control, ending with the dog dead on the ground beneath their apartment balcony.
Court documents indicate Davidson told employees at a veterinary clinic and an ex-girlfriend that Rust threw Raider off the balcony.
The dog's death was reported by Davidson's ex-girlfriend, who says the dog once belonged to her and Davidson.
According to the affidavit of probable cause, Amanda Henriott called police after Davidson came to her house to bury the dog in her backyard.
Henriott told police Davidson also had a letter with him from Rust to the dog. Police collected the letter and included a copy of it in the affidavit of probable cause.
The letter read:
"Dear Raider:
First and foremost forgive me, but also forgive me and your Daddy for fighting. We brought your life into our quarrel. You did not deserve to be any part of our combat. I ended your life, for which I am truly sorry my son. I feel as if a part of my soul has died with yours. Might you forgive me and let your Daddy at peace in your prayers. I will do my best to redeem myself but I know you can never be replaced. Once again baby Raider, I love you and I'm so sorry for ending your precious life. Just give me a signal from up above when I'm selecting Daddy's Next Best 2nd Friend. I love you Raider. I'm sorry and God bless you. You will always be his #1."
According to the affidavit, Henriott told police the letter was not signed by Rust but the author identified herself as "Mommy number 2" because Henriott was considered "Mommy number 1."
Investigators say when they questioned Davidson about what happened, he told them he didn't see Rust throw the dog off the balcony and claimed he only told people that because he was angry over his dog's death and wanted to blame someone.
According to police, Davidson said he was in the backyard looking for his cell phone that he dropped from the balcony when Davidson says Rust told him Raider wiggled out of her arms and jumped over the balcony.
Neighbors told police they didn't see Rust throw the dog off the balcony either, but heard the couple arguing.
Despite the changing stories, the Hamilton County Prosecutor's office decided there was enough evidence to charge Rust with animal cruelty.
"It's a situation that I think got out of hand," said Hamilton County Supervising Deputy Prosecutor Amy Summerfield. "That animal suffered because of it."
Summerfield said the prosecutor's office felt justified with the D felony charge against Rust.
Suggested Links
"There's a reason the legislature made it a D felony because they feel it's important and worthy of either jail time or Department of Correction time if that's what a judge deems fit," said Summerfield.
Rust is out of jail on $5,000 bond. Her next appearance in court is an initial hearing scheduled for February 24th at 1pm in Superior Court 4.

I Agree With YUCKSeems as though every hair salon recommends Biolage. My hair and scalp hate Biolage. I believe I have tried them all. They don't rinse well and leave your scalp irritated — 9 years, 7 months agosxyblndeflirt | 31 reviews
smells great!I just started using the Biolage shampoo and conditioner and they leave my hair soft and manageable. As an added bonus, it smells great and my hair smells good for days. I can't comment on it's color-retaining ability because I haven't used it for very long, but I used Wella Color Preserve before and that worked great! — 9 years, 7 months agoproductwhore | 8 reviews
just okayI have been using this product for almost a year. My mother bought me a gigantic salon sized bottle of this last Christmas and I still haven't used all of it. I don't feel like it adds any color protection more than drugstore products, so in my opinion, this product is not worth the expense. — 9 years, 7 months agojammonit | 14 reviews

Hospice Inpatient Center
Creating Hope: A Center of Compassion
The mission of Creating Hope: A Center of Compassion, Every Moment Matters is to provide the financial resources that ensure palliative and compassionate care to patients of all ages with a chronic or life-limiting illness, so as to enhance natural death with dignity by enhancing current services with:
- A state of the art inpatient hospice facility in Victoria, Texas
- An integral bereavement center
- Adjoining memorial gardens
- An endowment fund
Creating Hope: A Center of Compassion, every moment matters, adopts the following key features and objectives for our Hospice Inpatient Center:
Build a twelve (12) private room facility, designed to be expandable to thirty-six (36) private rooms
Each patient will have a private room, with day beds for family members.
A facility such as this does not currently exist in our South Texas region.
A complete benchmark study has demonstrated a need for a 20,000 sq. ft. facility where each room has:
- A patient bed
- A trundle bed
- A restroom
- A sitting area
- A floor to ceiling window for viewing the adjacent memorial garden
- A central location - located on Mallette Street, our proposed site is easily accessible by physicians, other health care professionals, volunteers, families and staff. Hospice of South Texas already owns the land for the facility.
- An aesthetically pleasant decor - utilizing warm colors, soft lines, and lovely furnishings, we will have both a comfortable feeling and beautiful views of the memorial gardens.
- Patient and family centered space - a family living room, family kitchen, and worship and prayer chapel.
- An attractive, architect-designed facility - it will be a credit to our community - and a tribute to those we serve - we will provide care for over 600 patients per year.
- General hospice inpatient center cost advantages over hospitalization - $600 per day vs. $4000 per day.
Develop adjoining Memorial Garden(s)
Memorial gardens provide a very special outdoor space for patients to walk, talk and pray with friends and family, as well as the ability to commune with nature while they are still able to do so as they near end of life. As they become less ambulatory, patients will be able to view the flora, fauna, fountains and bird baths and bird houses from their room through the floor to ceiling windows.
Landscaping and grounds - Our Hospice inpatient center will include walking paths, memorial gardens, and other features directly outside the window of each inpatient room which will complement and complete the "home-like" environment we wish to create for those we serve.
Build an adjoining Bereavement Center
An adjoining bereavement center provides the patient, family and friends a place to pray, gather, talk and grieve together. This center facilitates uplifting experiences for patients, family, clergy and friends separately and collectively.
Our bereavement center will include a Chapel plus homelike common areas for:
- Family gathering
- Counseling
- Support groups
- Education
- Staff
- Lending library
Fund an Endowment
Our monetary goal for this capital campaign includes both endowment and capital improvement monies.
Hospice of South Texas will not turn someone away from our doors because they cannot afford to pay. To provide our services to everyone, there must be some source of additional income to assure that those without insurance and/or lacking resources will not be denied Hospice care. Your support for endowment will assure the provision of these services.
For over 30 years, Hospice of South Texas has been the leader in hospice and palliative care for the living, the dying and the grieving. The loyal and dedicated support from the communities we serve will allow us to continue our commitment to compassionate care and excellence in service.

The last two days have been discouraging for me; I feel like I'm not doing well in my classes, so I think I'm a bad student. I feel like I'm not doing well at fixing meals, or unpacking the guest room, or cleaning the apartment, so I think I'm a failure at housekeeping. I'm SO grouchy and touchy every morning when I fix Brian's lunch, and I'm always frustrated by my lack of productivity by the time he comes home, that I must not be doing a job as a wife either. Plus, I'm worried about the state of our finances, because I don't know exactly how we're doing with our budget, and I feel like since Brian isn't worried, he must not care, and since he isn't interested in making plans for my birthday, he must not care about that either, which means the he must not care about me, right?
God reminded me of the sermon I heard last Sunday morning. Pastor Joel explained "Thoughts lead to Actions which lead to Feelings which leads to more Thoughts." So wrong thinking leads to wrong doing, which leads to wrong feeling, and more wrong thinking, and so on. This is the cycle anyone who has suffered from anxiety or depression will recognize. It's how fears, worry, and despair get started and soon become so ingrained that they are second nature.
That's what I've been doing the last two days, wrong thinking about myself and about Brian, leading to wrong doing and wrong feeling and more wrong thinking. I need to renew my mind, start thinking true thoughts, and then doing what is right, and wait for the right feelings to follow. I need to realize that I made a mistake with my class, but I need to do all I can to rectify it and get it finished. I need to recognize that the housekeeping can go by the wayside for this week, until I get these classes finished, and that I don't have to do it all. I need to remember that Brian is not the enemy, and it's not fair to take out my frustration or exhaustion on him. And I need to get enough sleep. I need realize that Brian's lack of concern over our finances probably means that my worry is unnecessary, and I can trust him to take care of me. I need to remember that Brian loves me deeply, and he does care about me, and my birthday, and I just need a little patience.
I've been listening to the Christian radio a lot lately, and there's a Dr. with a talk show who always talks about "The Power of One Thing," or focusing on one thing at a time, growing in one area, fighting one temptation, parenting one situation, completing one essay, doing one good deed, at a time. I read this blog post by Simple Mom, and it totally reinforced the idea of doing one thing, even if it's for only 15 minutes. Often we are perfectionists and think that if we can't do it ALL just right, right now, then why even start? That kind of wrong thinking keeps us from right doing, and we don't do anything. Go read the article, it's worth the two minutes, and I know it will be a blessing to you as it was for me.
When you find yourself feeling discouraged or dissatisfied, what are your thinking patterns like? Are your thoughts true? Are they noble? Right? Pure? Lovely? Admirable? Praiseworthy? Excellent? If you are at all like me, you know your thoughts are often quite different. How does the way you think affect the way you feel, or vise versa? What do you do to change that unhealthy cycle?
Philippians 4:8 (New International Version)
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
Let's remember these criteria for our thoughts this weekend! See you next week!

Date of Defense 2004-03-18 Availability unrestricted AbstractThis research investigated the growth kinetic parameters (Ks and µmax) of the Kluyveromyces marxianus yeast strain for a batch process under aerobic and anaerobic conditions at 45oC using the Two-Liter Bioflo® 2000 Fermentors and the Orbital Shaker Bed with 250mL flasks (New Brunswick Scientific). This yeast strain was grown in twelve different glucose media concentrations (Anderson et al. 1986), ranging from 200 mg/L to 80,000 mg/L. Several analytical techniques were used, such as COD measurement to determine soluble and total substrate concentrations, TSS and OD measurements to determine biomass formation, HPLC measurements to determine carbohydrate concentrations, and GC measurements to determine alcohol concentrations. The growth kinetic parameters were investigated using the Monod Model which accounts for microbial growth in any environmental condition, assuming decay a constant for the microorganism negligible during the exponential growth phase. The nonlinear (the Lee equation) and linear (the Hanes and the Lineweaver-Burk equations) methods were used to estimate the kinetic parameters (Ks and µmax) for the aerobic and the anaerobic conditions. Neither the nonlinear nor the linear method succeeded with reasonable estimations for the growth kinetic parameters (Ks and µmax). The lack of information and investigation on the nonlinear and the linear models in the literature, concerning Kluyveromyces marxianus kinetic analysis initiated an investigation of these nonlinear and linear models using a mathematical simulation technique called the Monte Carlo method with the SAS (Statistical Analysis Software) program (version 9). The sweet potato waste was used as substrate for a preliminary experiment which was designed to determine the growth kinetic parameters at 40oC, 45oC, and 50oC and the Arrhenius parameters for the Kluyveromyces marxianus yeast strain (Appendix A). This preliminary experiment used the three Two-Liter Bioflo® 2000 fermentors (New Brunswick Scientific) for a batch process under anaerobic conditions. Files

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - After a lifetime of collecting, Barbra Streisand is holding an auction of over 500 personal items including costumes from her movies "Funny Lady" and "The Way We Were," with all proceeds to go to her charity.
Julien's Auctions said in a statement on Thursday that all proceeds from 67-year-old Streisand's auction would benefit the Streisand Foundation that she set up in 1986 to help preserve the environment, civil rights, and women's issues.
But rather than showcasing her items in a gallery, the singer/actress will be boarding some of the items from her New York apartment, Carolwood home in Beverly Hills, and her Malibu Ranch house on Cunard's Queen Mary 2.
A preview of the collection will travel to England on the cruise liner's August 23 transatlantic crossing and the highlights will then go on show at The Museum of Style Icons in Newbridge, County Kildare, Ireland, for two weeks in September.
A full public exhibition of the items to go under the hammer will take place at The Beverly Hilton from October 10-16 with the two-day auction being held on October 17 and 18.
Items on sale include her pink robe from the 1973 movie "The Way We Were," outfits from the 2004 film "Meet The Fockers," and stage-worn gowns from her 1994 and 2000 tours.
As well as stage-worn clothing and film-worn costumes, the sale run by Julien's Auctions will feature paintings, furniture and other works of art that she has collected over the years as well as her personal Yamaha Baby Grand Piano.
The auction comes as Streisand prepares to release her new jazz album, "Love Is the Answer," produced by Diana Krall.
To launch the album, Streisand will perform to an audience of 100 at New York's Village Vanguard jazz club on September 26. Tickets will be distributed via a sweepstake on her website www.barbrastreisand.com.
Streisand last performed at the club in Greenwich Village in 1961 as the opening act for Miles Davis.

Hello everyone,
I have been toying with a comic idea and character design on the side for some time now. I have went through many designs but for some reason I can never really get one that I like or feel strongly about. I was wondering if anyone could suggest any good reference or inspiration that may help.
The gentleman in question would be a swordsman but the wear is mostly casual. Probably a jacket with a hood and a few belts. Other than that.. the vision in my mind is foggy. I am usually decent with character designs but I get "main character" block or something. I am just looking for an outfit design really. He's not a space marine and his build and features is fine. I guess I just struggle with fashion. The idea of combining futuristic light armor with clothing is not something I am accustomed to.
Any advice or resources would be extremely appreciated. I figure this could be of use to others as well. More reference and information never hurts. Thanks!

Britney Spears leaves rehab again…sort of
This barely counts as news, but Britney Spears left rehab last night to attend an AA meeting in Santa Monica. She was escorted to the support group by her assistant and returned to the Promises treatment center right after the meeting ended. And because she's lost her mind, Britney had weird scribbles all over her hand and even drew a fake ring on her index finger. I wouldn't be surprised if that thing went completely up her arm. She's like this close to snapping and probably spends all her time in rehab rocking back and forth while chanting, "They're all gonna pay." And when the doctors ask "Who's gonna pay?" she growls at them and says, "I'm a tiger!" And then starts pacing around on all fours while the doctors stare at each other confused.
NOTE: That's not her wedding ring. Not the one on her ring finger and not the one drawn on in pen.

For all the billionaires who strive to keep their wealth private, there are always those seeking to publicly preserve their name. Most of the time, it's done through a sizable endowment -- naming a hospital wing or cultural center after themselves, for example. Or, like Microsoft founder Bill Gates, with an eponymous foundation.
But for one Arab billionaire, known as "the rainbow sheikh" for his fleet of more than 200 brightly hued cars, hubris seems to have been the sole motivation for his action. Remember when you were a kid and wanted to write your name on all your possessions?
Sheikh Hamad bin Hamdan Al Nahyan, a member of Abu Dhabi's ruling family, inscribed his name, "Hamad" in the sand on the island of Al Futaisi. We're not talking about using a stick to draw your name on the beach, knowing it will be gone with the next tide. This graffiti is so large it can be seen from space. According to Bloomberg, the inscription is 2 miles wide and approximately a half-mile tall. Google Earth captured the image.
Nearly half the name is filled with water because the tip of the H extends into a strait leading to the Persian Gulf. Hamad owns Al Futaisi, which he reportedly turned into a private resort. Perhaps by in effect signing the island, he's making sure everyone knows who owns it, or perhaps he has plans to open the island to the public and put the letters to some novel use. Then again, he could have done it for his own amusement. After all, he has the money.
What do you think of the sheikh's graffiti?

"Steel Magnolias" opened Nov. 1 on the Aurora Community Theatre stage and will run weekends through Nov. 23.
It is the second time the local theater has presented the play, and the fourth time Aurora resident Tari Bergoine has appeared in it. She plays Truvy this time after having played Shelby in ACT's 1997 show, Annelle in 1990 in Parma Heights and M'Lynn in 2007 in Chardon.
"People have joked that I might one day end up playing all six roles," said Bergoine. "It looks like it may come true."
Bergoine received a bachelor degree in drama from Marietta College and works full time for Nestle as a business analyst. She has performed at ACT and with several other Northeast Ohio community theaters.
"Growing up, I was always the kid who put on plays in the garage for our neighborhood," said Bergoine. "It's so much fun to put on this play with different people, some who I've worked with before and some who have never been in a play."
The women in this play have their own flaws but are all strong women said Bergoine, adding "I love the lines from the play. I use several of them in my everyday life."
"Steel Magnolias" opened off Broadway in 1987. Two years later, the play was made into a movie starring Sally Field, Dolly Parton, Shirley MacLaine, Daryl Hannah, Olympia Dukakis and Julia Roberts.
Barbara L. Rhoades also is returning to direct ACT's reprisal of the play.
"In Truvy's beauty shop, we are privileged to see how the ever-flourishing bonds of friendship enable these wonderful women to share their greatest joys and struggle through their deepest sorrows," Rhoades wrote in the 1997 show program.
Joining Bergoine in the cast this time around are Johnetta Harris as Annelle, Susan Henthorn (Clairee), Sue Cohen (Ouiser), Chris White (M'Lynn) and Macey Staninger (Shelby).
Marianne Paul is producer, Scott Jarvis stage manager, Laurie Lessard is handling lights and Maggie Hamilton heads up sound, while Jean Arbuckle returns with her set expertise from the 1997 show to decorate Truvy's beauty shop.
Marianne Gingras is overseeing costumes, Paul Chechak built the set, Scott Pease is handling photography, Darlene Famageltto is hair consultant, Dorothy Edwards is house manager, Vicki Rizzo Prato is handling hospitality and Laura Nosek is the board liaison.
The 1997 cast so loved the play that they planned a reunion at the Nov. 2 performance.
In addition to Bergoine, those who appeared in the earlier show are Valerie Teller as Truvy, Theresa Babrauckas Benyo-Marzullo (Annelle), Muriel French (Clairee), Dede Klein (M'Lynn) and Tanya Shively (Ouiser).
Others who helped with the earlier show were Ann Carignan, Daniel White, Gay Repella, Rory Swift, Brian Cohen, Joe Caignan, Betsy White, Arbuckle, Susan Kohnz, Don Nolder, Scott Friedler and Rose Daugherty.
Also assisting were Konni Brumbaugh, Vicki Eberhart, Ruth Horton, Lynn Potter, Maureen McEwen, Tracy England, Anne Kaczmarek, Famageltto, Pease, Linda Ryan, Donna Weaver, Pat Pierce, Arlyn Hettinger, Sue Cohen, Jane Morton and Carol Keister.
Tickets are $16 for adults and are available at www.auroracommunitytheatre.com or 330-562-1818.

Type of Document Dissertation Author VanDenburgh, William Meriwether Author's Email Address email@example.com,email@example.com,email@example.com URN etd-11062004-130541 Title Internal Revenue Service Restructuring and Reform Act of l998: A Test of New Public Management Degree Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Department Accounting Advisory Committee
Advisor Name Title Donald Larry Crumbley Committee Chair James A. Richardson Committee Member Nicholas G. Apostolou Committee Member Timothy J. Louwers Committee Member Leonard Paul Ray Dean's Representative Keywords
- 1998 IRS reform act
Date of Defense 2004-10-19 Availability unrestricted AbstractThe enactment of the 1998 Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Reform Act resulted directly from perceived lapses in the federal taxation administration, which was publicly highlighted in Congressional hearings. Congress reacted by fundamentally altering the IRS's implementation of the Internal Revenue Code (for the first time since 1952). The Joint Committee on Taxation noted that the overall objective of the 1998 IRS Reform Act was to have "a well-run IRS [which] is critical to the operation of our tax system."
From a public administration paradigm, the IRS moved from a traditional tax management methodology to a New Public Management (NPM) methodology. Traditional tax management focused on efficiency and effectiveness typically measured by tax collections per dollar spent. NPM focuses on "performance based" activities emphasizing the responsiveness to the needs of taxpayers. Ultimately, the IRS's core function remains the annual collection of nearly $2 trillion in taxes.
The effects of the 1998 IRS Reform Act on the IRS's administration were assessed within the context of this paradigm shift in management. Partial replication of the IRS's 1990 Taxpayer Opinion Survey showed taxpayers' perceptions of the IRS have not improved. In fact, the IRS's receipt of top quality service evaluations universally decreased. Analysis of selected enforcement/compliance data showed that the number of IRS auditors is inversely related to the annual tax gap. The data of this dissertation, however, indicated that the 1998 IRS Reform Act resulted in better taxpayer compliance. Examination of the IRS's personnel data shows that IRS executives have not received private pay parity, and the IRS strategically misrepresented §1203 employee termination violations in 2003.

2/13 Avoiding Harried Hostess Syndrome
We may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post. By clicking on the links and making a purchase, you're helping to support the site so we can keep bringing you badass ideas.
Hosting a party for the Big Game last weekend brought into harsh relief one my biggest anxieties about my wedding: that I will come down with an acute case of Harried Hostess Syndrome.
Harried Hostess Syndrome, also known as "Can I Get You Anything?"itis, is a condition wherein a hostess of a party becomes maniacally obsessed with the well-being of her guests. Symptoms include high anxiety about no one having a good time and increasingly desperate efforts to correct this perceived guest-dissatisfaction. Effects range from buying three times more food than is necessary to plying guests with alcohol to the point that an entire fleet of cabs must be summoned at the party's end. In the most severe cases of Harried Hostess Syndrome, there is a high risk of conga lines and other mandatory-participation group dances.
I had a frightening bout of HHS when I threw my party last Sunday, even though it was just 20 people in my living room watching a football game. I need to start working now on strategies to combat coming down with HHS on my wedding day if I'm going to be able to relax enough to enjoy it. I certainly don't want to turn to my guests halfway through the ceremony and say, "Is everyone doing all right? Is the temperature comfortable for everyone? Does anyone need their drink topped off?"
But I know it will be hard to psych myself into believing I am a guest of honor instead of the host at my wedding. Even though in the invitation-wording-as-secret-code-for-who-is-paying sense of hosting, Collin and I are the hosts "along with our families," I feel the mostest-hostess because so much of the wedding will be the product of my planning, my decisions, my efforts. I'm the one who chose our venue, so if our guests hate being there, it is my fault. I'm the one who decided "no flowers, no cake, no favors," so if our guests miss those things, I'm the one to blame.
So how do I escape this neurotic mental trap so I can fully enjoy my wedding? Here's the strategy I've come up with:
1. Deflect. No matter how much of my own time, stress, and money I've put into my wedding, when the day comes, I'm going to imagine it as a party thrown for me and Collin. I'll be sincerely, profoundly, and outwardly grateful to his parents, our families, our friends, our vendors, everyone who is making the day come together through their efforts. This will distract me from worrying about how everything I set up is working out, with the added bonus of making me a gracious bride!
2. Deny. Words are powerful. I'm going to trick my brain into feeling like a happy, relaxed guest instead of a Harried Hostess by telling my guests, "I'm so happy you could share this day with us," instead of "Thank you so much for coming." That's hostess talk and I'll have none of that!
3. Delegate. Members of my Bridal Hootenanny (that's like a bridal party, but bigger and more unwieldy), I'm putting you on notice: it is your job, not mine, to make sure people are having fun. This will primarily involve filling the dance floor whenever it thins out, so be sure to limber up during the cocktail hour.
4. Dance. If I'm having enough fun, I'll be too distracted to worry that anyone else maybe isn't. More importantly, I believe that my happiness will infect the crowd and make our wedding a good time for all. And the best way I know how to stop worrying and be happy is shake a tail feather.
So that's my four-part strategy for avoiding the burden of Harried Hostess Syndrome at my wedding: deflect hosting respect, deny hosting status, delegate hosting duties, and dance my ass off.
Anyone else worried about feeling like a stressed-out hostess at her own wedding? Do you have any other ideas for how to shake off the symptoms of Harried Hostess Syndrome?

Mallow's CP, Akaike (AIC), Amemiya (PC), or Schwarz Bayesian Criterion (SBC)
Technote (troubleshooting)
I would like to use a selection criterion such as Mallow's CP, the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), the Amemiya Prediction Criterion (PC), or the Schwarz Bayesian Criterion (SBC) in order to help avoid regression models with an excessive number of parameters.
Is there any way I can obtain these selection criteria in SPSS Regression?
Resolving the problem
The selection criteria can be requested through SPSS command syntax, by adding SELECTION to the /STATISTICS subcommand.
Mallow's CP, Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), the Amemiya Prediction Criterion, and the Schwartz Bayesian Criterion will then appear in the Model Summary table.
These criteria currently cannot be requested through the Regression dialog box. However you may set up the model as you normally would using the Analyze->Regression->Linear, but do not click the OK button. Instead click Paste, add the word SELECTION to the /STATISTICS subcommand, and execute the syntax using the Run menu.
An enhancement request has been filed with SPSS Development, asking that a checkbox be added to the Statistics dialog box for Linear Regression so that these statistics may be requested via the dialog boxes. We apologize for any resulting inconvenience.

NEW YORK (Dec. 10)
Dr. Aron Syngalowski, chairman of the executive committee of the World ORT Union, arrived here today to report on the need of expanding vocational training in Israel, Iran, North Africa and Western Europe. He will negotiate a 1952 agreement with the Joint Distribution Committee through which the ORT receives its funds from the American Jewish community.
The ORT leader told representatives of the press that his organization today operates 275 trade schools in 19 countries with two to three years' training for adolescents and training workshops for adults. "Last year more than 20, 000 persons passed through these institutions, " he said, "During the immediate post-war years ORT prepared tens of thousands of refugees and DP's for a productive existence, both in Israel and in other countries of immigration with the financial assistance of J. D. C. and the International Refugee Organization."
Emphasizing the important role which the ORT Schools are playing in Italy, North Africa, Iran and Israel, and that "American experts have recognized the high technical standard of these schools, " Dr. Syngalowski declared: "Nevertheless ORT's network of schools must now be curtailed, despite the present necessity of expanding this constructive work. The reasons for this curtailment are as follows: 1. ORT work is part of the diminishing budget of the J. D. C.; 2. ORT has been unable to obtain assistance for its Israel schools, since their foundation in 1949. either from the J. D. C. or from the United Palestine Appeal.
"A possible solution lies in the discussions with the leaders of the J. D. C. and of other competent bodies, soon to take place, " Dr. Syngalowski continued. "The funds now being spent on Jewish vocational training in Israel and in the diaspora constitute a small percentage of the amounts raised in the United States for social relief, " he pointed out. The percentage is wholly disproportionate to the scale and to the importance of this vital task, " he concluded.
