¿Qué es una puposa? Son pupusas de mariposa? ¡Guácala! Creo que la intención de esta empresa era publicitar el hecho que su masa de harina es buena para hacer tortillas, sopes, tamales, y PUPUSAS, entre otras cosas – ¿pero quién sabe lo que pasó? Les van a mandar un E-mail… a ver que dicen.
What is a puposa? Are they pupusas de mariposa [butterfly]? Yuck! I think that the company's intention was to advertise the fact that their masa harina [tortilla mix] is good for making tortillas, sopes, tamales and PUPUSAS, among other things, but who knows what happened. I'm going to send them an E-mail. Let's see what they have to say.

Hi… I'm a Salvadoreña that has been living here for quite a long time and still to this day I can hear ppl calling "PUPUSAS" differently all the time. I correct them everytime and I will continue doing so because it's part of who I am and where I come from… mi pulgarcito El Salvador

Most of us calculate Paid Time Off based on formulas that are too sad to enumerate. Suffice it to say those hours rarely add up to week-long ski vacations at our leisure. But parse them out just so and you can be taking long weekends whenever the heavens open up. Make the most of it by choosing mountain resorts with bankable terrain and close proximity to an airport — like any of these 10 world-class ski areas.

Big Picture
215 E. Washington Street,
No one has favorited this theater yet
Awesome theater! Largest movie screen in Northeast Wisconsin (six stories tall, 80 feet wide!). Best sound system I have ever heard in a theater!
They showed IMAX-style movies during the day and second run and classic films at night and on weekends.
The theater, which had opened in March 2005, closed in October 2006.

I have an article from 1963 concerning the demolition of the Rio Theater in Appleton, built 1929. Any chance this is listed on the Wisconsin page under another name? If not, I will add it.
"The Appleton Post-Crescent is reporting that the Big Picture theater in Appleton will be closing after its last movie on October 15, 2006.
The large format movie theater at 215 E. Washington St. will run its previously scheduled foreign film and a regular slate of movies through next week, but then will close.
Co-owners Jim and Michelle Bork made the announcement in an exclusive interview this afternoon with The Post-Crescent. The paper chose to not post the story on its Web site until late Friday to give the couple time to tell their staff of 13 employees.
The theater's closure was because of finances, Jim Bork said.
It's basically not enough attendance to make it financially viable,†said Bork, who is president of Big Picture Concepts, the theater's operating company. "We have no more resources to keep it going.
The theater opened in March 2005".

I managed the Hollywood Cinema at the time this theatre was proposed/built. The people who were going to build it actually toured the Hollywood to take a look at our projector that we used for the ultrascreen. From the moment I talked to them, I knew their venture would fail. They knew nothing about operating a movie theatre. They were constructing a BRAND NEW facility, lots of $$$, it wasn't in a good location-basically behind the downtown area, and they were going to show IMAX type movies only… Hmmm, even if you get every school in the area to bring a school group every month it could never possibly make enough money to pay off its debt. Patronage from the general public to see these type of films would not be great. In the end, unfortunately, I was right. The theatre couldn't sustain itself for even a year. Its a shame, its a very nice facility. I can't imagine what will ever come of it.
Does anyone know if this building is still vacant?
Must not of had a very good business plan if they only stayed open a little over a year.
This building is currently being rented and used by a church group called "the core".

Teenagers always find themselves in need of cash. It's important to get a car, have nice clothing, and save for college and other large expenditures. The majority of teens work summer jobs and minimum wage jobs during the year, such as mowing lawns or bagging groceries, to pay the bills. However, there are ways teens can become entrepreneurs.
Going into business for you offers a lot of benefits. You can set your own hours, earn more money, gain experience, develop a good reputation, and learn self-confidence. Yet, many teens do not try to start a business. Becoming an entrepreneur requires a lot of hard work and responsibility. Also, there are sure to be obstacles to overcome to become successful. Here are ways you can begin thinking of how to start your own business.
Think about needs. Identify ways you can help your community. Keep your eyes and ears open and pay attention to common problems you see, problems unique to your area. Say you live in a suburb and have a neighbor who drives a long commute to work every day, you can see this situation as an opportunity. Approach this neighbor and offer child care services, errand running services, and any other ways you can think of to make life easier for a busy, stressed commuter. This applies to every target demographic in the neighborhood. Another example is senior citizens. Older folks may want to learn more about today's technology and find it frustrating to use. You can offer classes and tutorials on common computer problems.
Now think about pricing. Check at the library, online, or with friends about common prices charged for certain services. As a teenager, you can offer cheaper prices. This could lead to a competitive advantage over rival businesses because you can charge much lower prices and become a more appealing choice.
Market yourself! Advertise, advertise, and advertise! Make catchy, colorful flyers with easy to understand service and contact information and then post advertisements everywhere you can. Ask local business, such as restaurants and gas stations, for permission to display your flyers in a prominent location, preferably near high traffic areas in the store such as the door and cash register. Post advertisements on telephone poles at busy intersections. Tell your neighbors about your new business. Get the word out!
Keep clients! Now that you have some customers, it is your job to work very hard to keep them and consistently impress them with great service. Be sure to purchase a calendar or another organizational tool to keep track of every customer and all of their details about your next business interaction with them. For example, if you are supposed to walk a neighbor's dog next Tuesday at 2 p.m., then don't miss that appointment. Keep track of everything and stay organized.
Protect yourself. Certain businesses require insurance. It is very important to have auto insurance if driving is an integral part of your business. If you are taking care of children or animals it is important to have the proper credentials and licensing.
With hard work, grit, and planning, you can not only start a highly popular business, you can learn important life lessons that will continue your success throughout your entire professional career!

Fledgling Buzzard
Flutters about.
Wing flutter; vocalizations (on-click)
Can be found in the hills north of Lakeshire.
I found the rare by accident in the knollcamp northwest of Lakeshire.
I farmed this pet in search of a rare for roughly two hours and all three I found strangely had their speed altered from being higher than power during the battle to below it after the capture. Stats at lvl 4: Power - 44, Speed 42, Health - 334.
Found within 'Redridge Canyons'. Happy pet hunting =)
Was lucky enough to capture a rare on my first try. Found it just north of Lakeshire - 24, 23.
North of the town of Lakeshire in the elevated region, not merely North of Lake Everstill. If one were to visit the hilly region to the Northeast of the major lake, one would likely find none of these little flappers :3
Travel North of the lake, you'll find them on top of the mountain ridges.

The EPA has proposed a rule to lower the primary National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for ozone from the current 2008 standard of 75 parts per billion (ppb) to a level between 60 and 70 ppb.
How could there be anything bad about that? Isn't cleaner air a good thing?
Sure, it is. But we have to consider the costs of making it cleaner — and whether or not it warrants cleaning in the first place.
Bear in mind that the EPA is measuring ozone at levels that are essentially insignificant: parts per billion, not million. At those levels, even arsenic is harmless. So, what happens when the regulators get their hands on equipment that can measure ozone in parts per trillion, quadrillion and zillion? Will they then go to those extremes simply because they can and not because of any demonstrable benefit? Before they do, let's consider the economic costs, right here in Nevada, of their proposal to lower the standard by 5 to 15 ppb. NERA Economic Consulting and Sierra Research conducted a study on the new rule's estimated economic impact on our state economy and the results are chilling. Getting that already minuscule trace of ozone down to a slightly more minuscule level will require control measures with direct costs that are enormous and easy to measure.
Reducing ozone levels in Nevada from 75 ppb to 60 ppb would destroy 297,000 jobs, reduce our gross regional product by $22.2 billion, reduce the disposable income of state residents by $12.7 billion and reduce state tax revenues by $2.7 billion. The increased costs of compliance would affect every industry, every community and every family in Nevada.
Given the negligible benefit of an inscrutably small improvement in air quality, it's hard not to conclude that the "unintended" consequences are exactly what the EPA has in mind.
Tony Clark is the state energy chairman of northern Nevada for the Nevada Energy Forum. He served as the adjutant general of the Nevada National Guard for 14 years, solicitor general for the Nevada attorney general's office for two-and-a-half years and executive director of the Nevada Board of Medical Examiners for five years.

Featured in the News Across the Nation: Dr. Dennis Lox, an Expert in Sports & Regenerative Medicine, Discusses Stem Cell Therapy:
Since 1990, Dennis M. Lox, M.D. of Florida Spine and Sports Medicine has been helping patients increase their quality of life by reducing their pain. He emphasizes non-surgical treatments and appropriate use of medications, if needed.
Many patients are turning to stem cell therapy as a means of nonsurgical joint pain relief when their mobility and quality of life are severely affected by conditions like osteoarthritis, torn tendons, and injured ligaments. Dennis M. Lox, M.D., Founder and Medical Director of Florida Spine and Sports Medicine, specializes in this progressive, innovative treatment that may be able to help you return to an active, fulfilling life.
Stem cell therapy for joint injuries and osteoarthritis is suited for many individuals, from professional athletes to active seniors. Adult mesenchymal stem cells, not embryonic stem cells, are used in this procedure, which is performed right in the comfort of Dr. Lox's state-of-the-art clinic. The cells are simply extracted from the patient's own body (typically from bone marrow or adipose/ fat tissue), processed in our office, and injected directly into the site of injury. Conditions that can be addressed with stem cell treatment include osteoarthritis, degenerative disc disease, knee joint issues (such as meniscus tears), shoulder damage (such as rotator cuff injuries), hip problems (such as labral tears), and tendonitis, among others. For many patients, a stem cell procedure in the knee, hip, shoulder, or another area of the body relieves pain, increases mobility, and may be able to delay or eliminate the need for more aggressive treatments like joint replacement surgery.
If you have questions about adult stem cell therapy for joint injuries and arthritis, how the procedure is performed, and how the stem cells work to repair injured joints and tissues, Dr. Lox would be happy to educate you about the entire process.
PRP Therapy, Stem Cell Treatments & Other Joint Replacement Alternatives for Patients in Tampa, Clearwater, New Port Richey & throughout the Nation
If you are searching for effective, nonsurgical joint replacement alternatives, regenerative therapies like stem cell treatments and PRP therapy may be the ideal solution. At Florida Spine and Sports Medicine, we focus on helping patients return to mobile, independent lives without the need for the risks and downtime associated with highly invasive surgery.
PRP (platelet rich plasma) therapy can be used alone, or adult stem cell therapy is often used in conjunction with PRP as a means of promoting healing in degenerated or injured joints, cartilage, muscles, and tendons. From knee pain to spine pain, there are a wide range of conditions that may respond to these forms of regenerative medicine. Some of the most common issues that Dr. Lox treats at Florida Spine and Sports Medicine include knee arthritis, meniscal tears, S/I joint pain, hip conditions, shoulder pain, and ankle pain, among others.
If you live in Clearwater, St. Petersburg, New Port Richey, Tampa, or anywhere else in the nation and would like to schedule a consultation to discuss PRP therapy, stem cell therapy, or other alternatives to joint surgery with Dr. Lox, please contact Florida Spine and Sports Medicine today.

Exercise Is Medicine is a Multi-organizational global initiative launched in November 2007 by the American College of Sports Medicine and American Medical Association.
Was developed to encourage primary care physicians to include exercise when designing treatment plans for patients. Exercise is Medicine calls on doctors to prescribe exercise to their patients.
Committed to the belief that exercise and physical activity are integral in the prevention and treatment of diseases, and should be assessed as part of medical care and integrated into every primary care office visit.
Central Washington University has answered the call to develop a support system for those students with conditions that can be treated with exercise in conjunction to standard care. University Recreation has partnered with the University Health Center to provide support for students that could be helped through a well-designed exercise regimen.
For more information ask about Exercise is Medicine at your next appointment at the Health Center or you can contact Shayne Wittkopp at University Recreation at firstname.lastname@example.com.

AMA-MSS Chair's Column
April 2013In light of the recent tragedy, your MSS Governing Council would like to send our condolences to all of the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing. Our country has been through many heart wrenching moments in this short century that have tested our strength and vitality. Yet in every instance, resilience reverberates around our nation and we unify as one to lift each other up in a time of need. We would also like to honor the first responders, essential personnel, and members of law enforcement in the Boston area who are continuing to care for the injured and maintaining security. Your courage and dedication are truly appreciated by all.
To find out how you can be of assistance to the city of Boston, visit Boston Marathon Bombings: How to Help.
The MSS Governing Council
Today as I was drifting off to sleep on a flight to my last residency interview, I was thinking about how glad I was to be near the finish line of the biggest challenge of my life. Suddenly, an announcement was made by the flight attendant overhead - "if there are any medical personnel on board, we need your assistance in the back of the plane. Please ring your call bell". Oh crap, I thought. Am I considered medical personnel? I am a lowly fourth year medical student who hasn't touched a patient in almost two months! What if there are no EMT's, nurses, PA's, or physicians to be found on board and it is just me? For a split second, I cursed myself for my sleepy thoughts, but then I quickly pushed my call button to assist. As I made my way to the back of the aircraft, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief seeing that two other individuals (a physician and a nurse) were already tending to the elderly passenger.
For some of you, this scenario would have brought you pure joy as you dashed toward the patient and jumped over the beverage cart. For others, you might have nervously remained in your seats, hoping there was someone more knowledgeable around. Then there are those of you, like me, cautiously floating between the excitement of finishing medical school and the trepidation of being someone's physician in a few months. These actions are certainly representative of the spectrum of behaviors physicians in training tend to display. Further, these can translate into the categories of our own membership: the engaged member who dashes off and participates heavily in a variety of activities, the passive member who sits idly by while benefitting from the AMA's national presence, and the cautious member who participates when they can, but could certainly do more.
2013 is a brand new year and there are a number of ways to help move the MSS forward. In the spirit of New Year's resolutions, challenge yourself to increase your "frequent flyer miles" within the AMA. Your region leaders are working diligently to plan your Annual Region Meeting, and what better way is there to form new relationships with students in your area than attending? We are also just a few weeks away from MSS Advocacy Day and with the national debt issues on the table, your presence in DC is fairly important to get our message across. Finally, as you head back to school, think about how you can create solidarity, especially around causes that are important to your institution, your state, and the MSS as a whole. Challenging and exciting times are ahead; perhaps you will be placed in a scenario that may catch you off guard. Will you, your section, or our body be ready to step up? I think we are certainly all capable of doing so.
Happy New Year!
LeAnne Roberts
Chair, AMA-MSS
September/October 2012
The 2012 Election season is well underway and as physicians in training, there are plenty of relevant issues on the table for debate. Most of us understand that while the Presidential election reigns front and center, the Congressional, state, and local elections are equally, if not more important. As we gear up for Interim 2012 in beautiful Honolulu, Hawaii, we should not only focus on MSS policy and our role in the AMA Equation, but we should be thinking more broadly about what is important for our patients, our profession, and the American Healthcare System.
In the U.S., healthcare = economics, and certainly the economy is a major issue in this election. The stability of institutions and physician practices translates to jobs for thousands of Americans; jobs that are at stake if the impending Medicare cut is realized. Access to healthcare and preventative services dictates the health of patients and perhaps their ability to maintain employment to provide for their families. And certainly, federal and state deficits coupled with a shaky financial industry affects our ability as students to finance our very own medical education.The excuses concerning the time constraints of being a student, the distance between home and your medical institution, and the feeling that your voice does not matter are frankly unreasonable. Absentee ballots or changing an address via voter registration solves the first two issues. The third is slightly more complex, but, the voices of nearly 48,000 young constituents can make an impact. As voter registration deadlines are quickly approaching, I hope you all ensure that your voice counts. In fact, I encourage each local section of the MSS to run voter registration drives at your schools and in your communities. You could even offer to host candidate forums or a debate between candidates seeking local offices. Irrespective of your political beliefs or party affiliation, it is critical that you exercise a fundamental privilege afforded to you. Do not sit idly by this November. Visit the AMA Election Guide for information about candidates and state issues. To find out about state deadlines or to register, visit The Election Assistance Commission.
Hello Fellow Students!
My name is LeAnne Roberts and I have the privilege of serving you as the 2012-2013 Chair of the MSS! This is an exciting time to be involved in organized medicine given the certain changes ahead in our healthcare system. As the leading organization for medical students in the country, it is imperative that we consistently engage with our membership through multiple mediums in order to best represent the needs of our section in the AMA, as well as physicians in training as a whole. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Obama Administration by upholding the major tenets of the Affordable Care Act yesterday. Our Section should be pleased with the outcome, as the AMA's support for universal coverage originated from policy in the MSS. We continue to have our work cut out for us this year as stakeholders in the ongoing debate of healthcare reform, but we are excited to elevate the conversation concerning issues important to medical students and the healthcare of the nation.
Your Governing Council (GC) will be utilizing this page to update you about where we are on our national initiatives and priorities, as well as highlighting the wonderful work exhibited by you as individual members, through our sections at institutions, or through our regions. You have elected a fantastic group of students to serve on the GC, and we are all truly looking forward to the work that is to come. Our job is to address your concerns while representing and moving our section forward within the organization. To that end, please always feel free to contact us about what is on your mind. All of the contact information for the GC can be found here. Did you also know that you can submit a question or concern to the GC in its entirety? Don't be shy and instead, be proactive by using the GC Action Item Request form.
We just wrapped up an exciting Annual Meeting in Chicago, our theme being "Skills for Practice: Beyond the Science of Medical School". What did you think of the meeting? Be sure to complete the MSS Post Annual 2012 Evaluation by July 6 and let us know your thoughts. As we are in the planning stages for our Interim Meeting in beautiful Honolulu, HI, we would really appreciate your feedback about our MSS meetings and programming.
In the meantime, if you need anything, please do not hesitate to reach out to me via email at firstname.lastname@example.com or phone at (916) 412-5137. I am more than happy to help you in any way that I can. Until we meet again, stay well, work hard in the library or on the floors, and take some time to enjoy the warm weather wherever you may be.
WE are the future of medicine. Is America ready for us?
LeAnne J. Roberts
Chair, AMA-MSS Governing Council
Hi everyone!
I have a challenge for you this month: think of everyone you meet as a potential patient.
What do I mean by this? The other day, I had to have my stove replaced. My maintenance guy and I started talking, and after finding out that I was in medical school, he started telling me his list of issues. He'd love to see his doctor but he's already had to declare bankruptcy once to pay for his medical bills and he was in the middle of filing again. "What did you want to talk to him about?" I asked.
"How to live a healthy life."
While he finished installing my oven, we then discussed some easy lifestyle adjustments he could make, and I logged into my med school's website to print out some handouts about healthier living.
This past week was the AMA's Week of Wellness. My challenge to YOU is to make it last longer than a week. Any medical student, from the now seasoned first year to the about-to-graduate M4, can provide advice about healthier living in settings outside the clinic. How can you help your community's health today?
As always, feel free to call/text me with any questions at 313-920-2564 or email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
MSS Chair's Column
March 2012
My mom gives great medical advice. From talking to other future physicians, it's remarkable how many mothers are great doctors. I recently broke down in my battle against her and actually went to a doctor to get an antibiotic for a sinus infection that had lasted a couple weeks. Upon finally getting my script for Amoxicillin filled for free, I had to laugh at her response: "Amoxicillin? That's not strong enough. I would have given you a Z-Pac."
My mom is an art teacher by the way.
However, this week she taught me that valuable medical advice can come from anywhere. She asked me if my dad should be taking a statin, given the concern that it may cause diabetes. I told her that I wasn't sure and that I'd look into it. It turns out that a number of news sources have looked into it for me, and there is a serious question as to whether or not the medications cause diabetes, and whether the risks outweigh the benefits.
There are serious problems facing medicine in the years ahead. We do overprescribe. The most prescribed medicine in the USA is Vicodin. The pain and poor health of this country are being covered up, and we need to spend more time healing and less time just pushing papers. We need to get back to caring for our patients.
A patient that I saw this week on my last clinical rotation is stuck in the hospital because her insurance company won't pay for IV antibiotic therapy at home. That therapy would cost less than one day in the hospital, but that's the policy of the insurance company. These kind of things make me mad.
We need to fix these problems. That's why I'm a future doctor and a member of the AMA. We can't take care of these things on our own. To be perfectly honest, we're probably going to need our mothers too. Together we are stronger, especially if we reach beyond just fellow doctors in our work for change.

New Year's Reflections and Resolutions
The arrival of the new year provides a welcome moment to reflect on the year past and an opportunity to lay out goals for the future. As your AMA-MSS Chair, I look back on 2011 with great pride at the incredible work done at every level that continued to reach more medical students and add their voice to the over 47,000 medical students we represent. Interim 2011 was one of the best meetings I can remember, with record numbers of students coming to New Orleans and innovative programs on global and public health, leadership, and the rebuilding of the health system in that city after Katrina. That energy from that meeting and the continued challenges to student debt and GME funding for residency positions resulted in a two-day advocacy push that resulted in over 50,000 phone calls and emails to Congress from future doctors. Voicemails on Capitol Hill stopped responding because of the volume of the response, and the coordinated efforts of the AMA MSS, RFS, and many other medical student leaders from other medical specialties. Lastly, 2011 brought about the election of the next Chair, LeAnne Roberts and Trustee, Malini Daniel, two remarkable women leaders ready to take this organization to the next level.
It is a new year though, and with just a few short months left to lead this remarkable organization, the time to set new goals and refocus our efforts is upon us. My resolution is that you will see even more great things from the AMA-MSS this year, thanks to the remarkable leaders at all levels. Lobby Day 2012 promises to be the most important in recent memory as an election approaches and serious concerns about medical student debt and residency funding persist. New initiatives in public health, entrepreneurship, and service will continue to open up the remarkable experience of the MSS to new members and new perspectives. As always though, the strength of the organization will continue to come from its members and the friendships that result from attending regional or national meetings.
This is my challenge to you all for your new year's resolutions. Attend your region meetings. Be an advocate at Lobby Day. Make time to be at Annual in Chicago in June. If you bring with you the concerns you have about your future and the things that you're passionate about, we will show you ways to get involved, make a difference, and have a voice in the process. If you want to make a difference before you get there, bring some friends.
Happy New Year to all. Best of luck getting back to the books and back on the wards. Work hard, be nice, and take care of your fellow students. They're going to be your colleagues for a long time. Oh, and remind them to join the AMA. Together we are stronger.
T.R. Eckler
AMA-MSS Chair 2011-2012
October 2011
Applying for residency is pretty simple. After four years of medical school, they still want you to answer the same question you were asked at the beginning:
Why do you want to be a doctor?
The only problem is, this new round of interviewers will put descriptive words in front of doctor, or change the name entirely, and expect you to explain why you were born to be a neurosurgeon, dermatologist, radiation oncologist, pediatrician, or family medicine physician.
I enjoy taking this question to the first year students or the applicants, because they are so often ready to explain why they want to be a doctor. Ask them what kind of doctor they're going to be though, and either they're assured of a career I can bet they won't actually end up in, or they don't even know where to start. It makes me feel better about how great a journey the process of medical school is, and that I'm ready for the next step.
Looking back now on a cold fall night as I doll out candy to neighborhood kids and wonder about the public health dilemma that is Halloween, I consider how the AMA shaped that journey for me. When confronted with the question throughout medical school of what kind of doctor did I want to be, I eventually went with this standby response:
I want to be a great doctor. One that takes the best care of patients, and enjoys his work. I also want to be a doctor who's involved, one who can shape policy, be an advocate for his patients, and serve his community. Whatever career in medicine I found that would let me do that, I figured it would have to be fulfilling.
That's where my involvement with the AMA kept coming in. When as a first year I wanted to get exposure to students outside of my medical school, I attended my first AMA conference. Then, as a second year, I looked to the AMA and the MSS for resources on health policy and politics in light of the election to empower the votes of my classmates. In third year I took the opportunity to pursue the Government Relations Advocacy Fellowship for a year to better understand the policies and politics that will shape medicine for years to come. Now, in my third and fourth years, I have the honor of serving as Chair, trying to extend such opportunities to other future physicians.
The AMA remains a place where medical students can bring anything they are passionate about to the next level. It doesn't matter if that is a service project, a policy initiative, or a search for a mentor or training in leadership. This is a place to go bigger. It is a place where you can learn things that won't be covered in your medical school curriculum, see how the future is shaping up for medicine, and have a voice to shape that process. The volume of experience, knowledge, and capacity for greatness in a single AMA-MSS meeting is something which still exceeds my ability to express in words, and I'm on my 9th attempt next week in New Orleans. Being a part of the future of medicine, in what I think is the most unified voice for the soul of medicine as a member of the AMA-MSS has been a rewarding and humbling experience for me, and I would recommend it to anyone who is still working out the answer to that "what kind of a doctor are you going to be?" question. If you want something that's going to give you something interesting to say while interviewing for residency, come see what the AMA-MSS is working on these days.
Safe travels to all heading to Interim in New Orleans or out on the residency interview trail.

AMA-MSS Chair 2011-2012
August 2011
Why should I join the AMA?
It's a question I've heard a few hundred times. I've thought long and hard about the answer to the question. I've come up with my own over the years as I've thought about why I got involved, why I stay involved, and why I've continued to take time to be a part of this incredible organization. I've found that my reasons resonate with some people, while others have completely different reasons for joining the AMA and taking on the work of defending the future of medicine.
With that in mind, I figured this month I'd provide you with the 25 best reasons to join the AMA that I could come up with. I had help from many other medical student leaders, past, present, and future on this, but do take a moment to consider if you knew all the reasons you should encourage others to join at the start of this new year of medical school.
Honestly, I know you're busy, so if you want to save time, just join here. Otherwise I look forward to hearing more reasons to join in the months ahead as we work on the challenges facing medicine and prepare for the AMA-MSS Interim Meeting in New Orleans, LA in November. Good luck with your studies, and enjoy the journey.

By SUSAN M. COVER Kennebec Journal
AUGUSTA - Across the country, voters have banned or rejected same-sex marriage at the ballot box more than 30 times since 1998.
Whitney Gifford of Bucksport leads a group of gay marriage supporters carrying signed petitions to the Secretary of State's office in Augusta on Jan. 26, 2012. Maine voters will be the first in the nation to be asked to approve same-sex marriage by popular vote.

This year, as four states consider the issue, Maine voters will be the first in the nation to be asked by same-sex marriage supporters to approve it by popular vote. Until now, voters have been asked only to ban it or reject it.
The idea of being on offense for a change appeals to supporters.
"At some point, we are going to win one of these campaigns at the ballot box," said Matt McTighe, campaign manager for Mainers United for Marriage. "I really do believe Maine will be that state."
In the six states where same-sex marriage is legal, it's because the courts or state lawmakers approved it. But in 31 states, there are constitutional bans, which makes it much more difficult for gay advocates to advance their agenda. That leaves just 13 states in play, and four of those states -- Maine, Minnesota, Maryland and Washington -- will vote this fall.
In Minnesota, voters are being asked to approve a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage, and if it passes, the Gopher State would become the 32nd in the country with such a ban. Maryland and Washington state voters will decide whether to repeal laws allowing same-sex marriage that were passed by their legislatures and signed by their Democratic governors.
While voters across the country have rejected same-sex marriage for 14 years, one national expert says what makes this year different is a shift in public opinion.
Jennie Bowser, a senior fellow at the National Conference of State Legislatures, points to a poll released in April by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life that shows 47 percent of Americans indicating support for same-sex marriage, with 43 percent opposed.
"The significant thing this year is the change in attitude as indicated by polls," she said.
Bowser's analysis of voting results shows that in 2005, nearly 70 percent of voters nationwide opposed same-sex marriage. By 2009, the opposition had weakened to 53 percent. But there's plenty of room for variation: In the most recent statewide vote on the issue, North Carolina voters easily approved a constitutional ban in May with 61 percent support.
Carroll Conley, executive director of the Christian Civic League of Maine, said he learned some lessons while in North Carolina on the day of the vote.
"We were told they (same-sex marriage opponents) were really in trouble, and we weren't just hearing it from the media, but from inside sources," said Conley, who is helping to run Protect Marriage Maine, the leading opponent of same-sex marriage.
But the polls were wrong and the strength of clergy was underestimated, he said. After recently traveling Maine to meet with clergy, Conley is feeling good about the campaign in Maine.
"The advantage we have is the vast majority of clergy has an opportunity weekly to address this issue for the next 11 weeks," he said. "That doesn't cost us anything."
While there are regional differences on the issue -- Bowser's analysis shows consistently stronger opposition in the South -- Maine has a relatively recent history of voting on the issue as well. In 2009, Maine voters rejected same-sex marriage 53 percent to 47 percent.
The question on the ballot in 2009 asked voters: "Do you want to reject the new law that lets same-sex couples marry and allows individuals and religious groups to refuse to perform these marriages?"
Brian Brown, director of the National Organization for Marriage, which provided the bulk of the funding for same-sex marriage opponents in 2009, says the outcome in Maine will be the same this time around. He said same-sex marriage supporters have been effective in trying to claim that voters have changed their minds, but the outcome in North Carolina challenges that conclusion.

Your "story" attacking the three citizen petitions on the November state ballot was a disguised editorial, not a truthful news report.
First, you interviewed no petition supporter. Each reform got 140,000 voter signatures, yet you gave all your space to three dishonest, but loud, opponents touting their self-serving Big Government agenda of higher taxes.
Second, you did not provide the websites for the petitions, so readers could see for themselves that the critics were smearing the petitions. Please print here the central web address, www.COtaxreforms.com. Volunteers are welcome.
Third, the hysterical tone of the attack was amusing, though untrue. No petition "destroys hope" or abolishes any government. Amendment 60 does say unelected local boards can no longer impose property taxes. That's just the rallying cry of 1776 – "No taxation without representation!" All those boardmembers have to do is run for office in 2011, so we can vote on those who tax us.
Gov. Ritter opposes the petition that reverses his illegal car tax last year, which doubled registration taxes without voter approval. Their "fees" are not used to register cars, but go to the bureaucracy to be spent as taxes. Proposition 101 makes car registration $10 for everyone – closer to the true cost of processing annual registration. Now that's fair!
Your library director also obviously didn't read the text. He said proposition 101 would "eliminate" car ownership taxes in one year. The text plainly states a phased-in reduction over four years.
I regret that someone paid by taxpayers would intentionally give false information to voters.
The Prop. 101 website analysis of vehicle ownership tax relief shows that effect after four years slows total state and local government revenue only 0.8 percent. That's less than one penny on a dollar, and that's after four years. That is not a cut. Only a few taxes are targeted; the others grow without limit. There is no net effect on school district revenue because 100 percent state aid replacement is already required by law.
In the future, please try to be fair and balanced.
– Debbie Schum, Cedaredge

James Howe, 1780 - 1836. Animal painter
- Scottish Art
James Howe was from Skirling in Peeblesshire, and was best known as an animal painter. Horses were his main subject, so much so that the only comprehensive biography of him is called 'The Man who Loved to Draw Horses'. In 1824 fourteen of his drawings were published as engravings in 'Drawings of the Horse'. His major sporting pictures were of the Leith Races and the Musselburgh Races, which he painted at least three times.

After scrabbling among themselves, the City Council members allocated money by a 3-2 vote; those opposing the measure cited accountability. I can live with that. What I cannot live with is how the council has somehow decided to fund pre-K with a portion of that money.
Who decided it would be a good idea to fund the program, and what were the basic criteria for deciding where the units would go? This was not on the wish list presented to the council by the school system. Of the three units of pre-K that received salary funding for a teacher, not one will be allocated to Randolph Park.
What makes this decision questionable is that Randolph Park, as measured by free and reduced lunches, ranks as the highest of any school in Anniston system. Secondly, $180,000 barely covers a first-year teacher with a bachelor's degree. A first-year, no-experience salary is $36,867, but this does not include benefits. When you add insurance, retirement, social security, etc., you add another $15,791. There is no money left in this amount for aides or supplies. When you add your aides' salaries, plus benefits, that could easily be an additional $100,000.
That's the price of educating children, and I am fine with it. However, this funding will not be additional to the budgeted $500,000; instead, it will be deducted from it. How will these programs be sustained the following year? Are the pre-K programs currently in the system self-sustaining? Can the system afford to keep the programs once they are started? Do we know that the communities where the schools will be have the numbers to justify having a pre-K?
I do not feel ample time and effort have been put into this idea. I do not believe the council should tell the Board of Education how to best use resources. I sincerely appreciate the intent of the council, but I respectively ask that it work with the superintendent and the board relative to spending money for education. Doing this will give you accountability.
