From The Atlantic:
If George Mason economist and Marginal Revolution blogger Tyler Cowen is right, higher education is about to go the way of the record company. Speaking at the Aspen Ideas Festival, he offered up college as the next in a long line of industries that Internet-enabled innovation is going to scramble.
Okay, but why was Tyler paid to communicate this message by lecturing in person at the expensive Aspen Ideas Festival (run by The Atlantic, by the way) at a remote and costly location in the mountains? Why didn't his audience just read his insight for free on Tyler's blog?
Could it be that going to college is kind of like going to the Aspen Ideas Festival, but with less hypoxia?

Bachelor of Arts in Music
The Bachelor of Arts in Music is a non-professional degree that provides valuable undergraduate preparation for a variety of careers. The liberal arts degree affords the student the opportunity to pursue the study of music at the collegiate level and also to combine the study of music with an outside field. Additional undergraduate opportunities for study and a potential double major in the arts, humanities, social sciences and natural sciences are especially rich. The music major may include such diverse areas as cultural musicology, cognitive studies of music, and advanced technology for music. Although this is a non-performance degree, an audition is required as part of the application for admission.

Infectious diseases (ID) physicians serving as infection prevention or antimicrobial stewardship medical directors must receive reimbursements that are consistent with the fair market value (FMV) of their services. As defined by the physician self-referral law ("Stark") law, fair market value is "the value in arms length transactions, consistent with the general market value" of your services. This means that ID physicians in consultation with their hospitals are free to establish reimbursement levels that are consistent with the market value of their services in a given area.
IDSA has long argued that, at a minimum, ID medical directors' reimbursements should account for the overhead costs required to maintain their practice. The following is an example of a reimbursement formula that can be used as a starting point in negotiations with your hospitals:
Median Gross Charges (or Collections) per Year
2000 Hours
ID physicians' gross charges and compensation data is published annually by the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA). While some ID practices question the accuracy of MGMA data, it is one of the few sources of such data and is well understood by hospital administrators.
Once a reimbursement formula and a data source have been identified, it is up to the individual ID physician to make the case for his/her value. Cultivating relationships with your hospital administrators based on trust, mutual respect, and proven results are the best way to ensure that your infection control reimbursements are commensurate with your value. It also is helpful to remember a few negotiating strategies that have been successfully used by your colleagues.
In October 2008, The Value of Infectious Diseases Specialists: Non-Patient Care Activities was published in Clinical Infectious Diseases (CID). The article provides a compendium of data sources that ID specialists can use in demonstrating their value to hospital administrators during contract negotiations.
Finally, two presentations on how to negotiate infection control contracts were given at the 2009 Clinical Practice Meeting. These presentations were presented as a point-counterpoint from a hospital administrator's standpoint and a physician's standpoint.
Fiction. Hospitals often site two "voluntary" reimbursement methodologies that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) deemed as safe harbors for the purpose of meeting fair market value. HHS' withdrew these reimbursement methodologies as safe harbors in August 2007 largely due to a lawsuit filed by the Renal Physicians' Association and supported by the IDSA and several other medical specialty societies.
Below are the withdrawn safe harbor methodologies for calculating fair market value hourly payment rates for physicians serving as medical directors:
The hourly payment for a medical director cannot exceed the average hourly rate for emergency room physician services in the relevant physician market, provided there are at least three hospitals providing emergency room services in the market.
The hourly payment for a medical director is calculated by averaging the 50th percentile salary for the physician's specialty of four national salary surveys and dividing the resulting figure by 2000 hours to establish an hourly rate. The CMS rule provides a choice of six recognized, readily available surveys.
Hospitals often used these payment methodologies as a justification to reduce the payments for the services of infection control medical directors by as much as 50 percent (e.g., from $150 per hour to $85-95 per hour). Be wary of hospitals that continue to cite these withdrawn safe harbors in an effort to limit your reimbursements.

- A Gift For Lily (a children's book about immunization for expecting families)
Vaccines help keep you and your growing family healthy. It is important to make sure that your immunizations are up to date before becoming pregnant. The flu and some other vaccine-preventable diseases pose risks to you and your unborn baby.
Flu vaccine is safe and very important for pregnant women. A pregnant woman who gets the flu is at-risk for serious complications and pregnant women with the flu also have greater chances for serious problems for their unborn babies. These include premature labor and delivery.
Pregnant women can receive the flu shot at any time, during any trimester. In addition, because babies younger than 6 months of age are too young to receive flu vaccine, it is important that everyone who cares for a baby also gets a flu vaccine.
There are two types of flu vaccine. Pregnant women can only receive the flu shot as the nasal-spray vaccine is not approved for them.
Pertussis (also known as whooping cough) is a disease that can be very dangerous for babies. It is spread through coughing or sneezing. The vaccine that protects adults against pertussis is called Tdap. Pregnant women should get a Tdap shot during every pregnancy, even if they have had Tdap shots in the past. Ideally, a pregnant woman should get a Tdap shot between 27 and 36 weeks. However, it is safe to get a Tdap shot at any point during pregnancy.
Pertussis spreads very easily from adults to babies. The best way to protect a baby from pertussis is to make sure that he or she is only surrounded by people who have been vaccinated against pertussis. Creating this circle of protection is sometimes called "cocooning". People who will be around your baby may include your spouse, parents, grandparents, babysitters, and siblings.
The pertussis vaccine for children younger than 7 years of age is called DTap. The pertussis vaccine for everyone else is called Tdap.
Your primary care provider should have a record of all the immunizations you have received. Sharing this information with your pre-conception and/or prenatal healthcare professional will help determine which vaccines you will need during pregnancy. If your doctor does not have a current record of your immunizations:
Even if you can't track down your records, your healthcare provider can still protect your health and that of your unborn baby by recommending vaccines appropriate for you.

How immigrants are redefining 'American' in Southern California
Romney may not be 'still deciding' on immigration, but the Latino problem remains
Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images News
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, left, with Univision's Jorge Ramos in a "Meet the Candidate" forum in Miami, January 25, 2012
In the day since it was uttered, news reports have alternately called a Republican National Committee staffer's remark to reporters yesterday about Mitt Romney "still deciding what his position on immigration is," a flub, a gaffe, a snag, and a disaster.
The latter may be an overstatement, but it still wasn't pretty. Bettina Inclán, who earlier this year became the RNC's Hispanic Outreach Director, told reporters at a Washington, D.C. press event when asked a question about Romney and immigration that "I think, as a candidate, to my understanding, that he's still deciding what his position on immigration is."
An RNC spokeswoman quickly stepped in to correct her, and Inclán later tweeted that she "misspoke," saying GOP presidential candidate Romney's position is clear.
Inclán's gaffe, seized upon by reporters and by the Obama administration, was read by some as a slip revealing Romney's back-and-forth on immigration as he's tried to appeal to both immigration hardliners and Latino voters. But voices on both sides have argued that his position has been clear enough, whether one likes it or not.

2012 Château de Maligny Petit Chablis
Review Date: 4-4-2014
Right out of the bottle, this is a crisp little unoaked Chardonnay. But with a few minutes and some air, this wine becomes MUCH more interesting and really shows its limey, mineraly terroir. I enjoy Chablis as a sipping wine/aperitif, but it would also be wonderful with a spring risotto of leeks, asparagus, peas and Parmesan.
Price: $15.99
2005 Launois "Spécial Club" Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne (ships as 1.5L)
Review Date: 10-16-2013
After one sip (which frankly was all that was left after our staff tasting) - I knew this would be my go-to champagne for the holiday season. Out-classing many $100+ bottles, this Special Club from Launois has loads of generous old-vine fruit with the precision and backbone of Grand Cru Mesnil terroir. I can think of two perfect pairings for this wine: Alone, or with loved ones.
Price: $59.99
Krug Brut Rosé Champagne
Review Date: 2-13-2012
Back at home after a particularly rough day my husband went on his nightly expedition to the wine cellar in our garage. When he returned with this wine - my jaw dropped. "Sometimes you've got to live a little", he said. Live a little indeed! A spectacular champagne with lots of everything, but not too much of anything. Black and red fruited nose,candied blood orange, toasted nuts, rose petals on the palate - velvety but vivacious. Balanced and luxurious, this was a special treat I will not soon forget.
Price: $279.00
Gosset "Excellence" Brut Champagne
Review Date: 1-17-2012
While it's common to start with a bone-dry wine as the aperitif, I favor wines with a little more "oomph" for companionship as I get dinner on the table. A glass of the Gosset Brut Excellence keeps my hunger pains at bay with exotic freshness and a round, supple texture. A special value right now at $25.99 - you'll have to race me to the shelf!
Price: $34.99
Krug "Grande Cuvée" Brut Champagne
Review Date: 6-11-2009
Because you can never be too rich...or have too many bubbles! This Grand Cuvee is truly grand - very concentrated, with a silky smooth texture and length for days. Drink it on your private island, while sitting on your treasure chest and eating a foie gras cheeseburger! (tasted 6/10/09)
Price: $149.99
Rittenhouse Rye 100 Proof, Bottled in Bond 750ml (3 bottle limit)
Review Date: 5-20-2009
Adding a couple of ice cubes to this 100 proof spirit really tames the beast, bringing out the sweetness and rye-bread aromatics. A wonderful digestif after dinner - with a very reasonable price tag.
Price: $23.99
Ariston Aspasie Brut Rosé Champagne
Review Date: 4-9-2009
It blows my mind. $32.99, really? Small production grower rose champagne, aged on the lees for 5 years?? Are you sure, only $32.99? Beautiful to behold with its tawny pink color - and a joy to consume with layers of flavor and aroma. Enjoy alongside baked ham, herbed quiche - or even smoked almonds as an afternoon treat!
Top Value!
Price: $34.99

The Mounting Guerilla War against the Reign of Walmart
By John Logan
2012-2013 was a big year for Wal-Mart workers and their allies fighting for better labor
standards and an end to management retaliation. It saw the first-ever strikes in the history
of the company, as well as the first strikes by warehouse workers contracted with Wal-Mart; a
campaign against abuses among Wal-Mart suppliers and logistics chains; policy initiatives
targeting the high cost to the public of the company's poverty wages and benefits; and a vigorous
international campaign for better standards at Wal-Mart. These imaginative actions have ratcheted
up the pressure on the company—which has become the poster child for the immiseration of workers
in the first world and the exploitation of workers in developing countries—and laid the basis for
further intensification in 2013-2014.
The success of the past year's actions has come as a result of lessons drawn from past campaigns at
Wal-Mart, as well as the impetus of other national political protests. Over the past two decades,
the campaign for better standards at Wal-Mart has gone through several iterations. First, workers
in certain divisions—meat-cutters, tire and lube workers—attempted to organize with limited success
and aggressive employer opposition. Then, the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) attempted to
organize workers geographically, with a strong focus on Wal-Mart and Sam's Club stores in Las Vegas.
Third, the Wake Up Wal-Mart (coordinated by UFCW) and Wal-Mart Watch (coordinated by the SEIU)
initiatives educated the public about poor working conditions and employer retaliation with
significant impact, including in the case of Wake Up Wal-Mart on the Democratic presidential primary.
Finally, the current campaign is much more focused on the activism of Wal-Mart workers, especially
through the strikes and protests coordinated by OUR Wal-Mart, which has also benefited from changes
in the external environment caused by Occupy Wall Street, the fast-food worker strikes, and other protests.
September and October 2012 saw the first strikes in Wal-Mart's half-century-long history.
The stoppages started with a series of spontaneous walkouts by employees in Southern California in
September 2012. After a 24-hour strike at a store in Los Angeles, October saw strikes at Wal-Mart
stores in San Francisco, Sacramento, Seattle, Dallas, Miami, and suburban D.C. In November, the strike
action escalated significantly across the country.

In 2005, an estimated 42.6 million Americans (about 31 percent of the U.S. workforce) toiled as contingent workers
outside full-time, regular year-round employment. And the problem is getting worse. By 2020, more than 40
percent may work under insecure conditions: underpaid and without job protection as well as lacking many
benefits such as health insurance, pensions, and vacations with pay. Unionizing this large segment of the workforce
has proved difficult. Only about 6 percent of part-time employees are union members, compared to 12.5 percent for
full-timers. As the labor movement increases efforts to reach these workers, questions remain about the best
organizational forms to represent them. Should contingent workers join locals that enroll full-time employees in
their industries or should part-timers form their own independent unions? Can solidarity exist between full-timers
and part-timers within the same organization?
I would like to consider the union prospects for a large sector of contingent workers probably familiar to many
readers of New Labor Forum: adjunct or part-time college and university teachers. Today, there are more than 1.3
million contingent adjuncts—about 75 percent of all college teachers. Why a two-tier labor system has become
entrenched in academia is beyond the scope of my argument here. My main point is that unions need to devote more
resources to organize this large group. About one-fifth of adjuncts nationwide already are represented by collective
bargaining units and they have shown a high degree of receptivity to organizing efforts. But, critically, adjuncts
need to look beyond the teachers unions, which are dominated by full-time faculty and have provided them very weak
representation. Another path is possible. The formation of a national adjunct labor union could fight for a more just
and fair distribution of employee earnings and benefits. It also could mount a challenge to the very existence of the
two-tier labor system. Democratic equity goals are essential to help preserve the integrity and quality of higher
education. After all, teachers have a special role as "idea workers" to promote critical thinking, truth, freedom, and
human development and growth. Their unions should reflect these ideas. A labor reform movement led by adjuncts might
spur organizing among part-timers in other professions and industries.

By Eve S. Weinbaum and Max Page
As in many industries and professions, stable and coveted careers in higher education have transformed into contingent,
low-paid jobs. As tenured full professors retired, they were replaced with adjuncts, part-time instructors, full-time
non-tenure-system faculty, and other "contract" faculty. The shift was rapid and dramatic: from 1975 to 2010 part-time
faculty increased by 300 percent, and the full-time tenure-track professoriate lost more than half its members. Now more
than 75 percent of college and university classes are taught by non-tenure-system teachers who have little job security,
may be "on call" from one semester to the next, work at several universities at the same time, and can earn as little as
$1,500 per course.
Organizing such a dispersed workforce is difficult, but in many places non-tenure-track faculty have mobilized to demand
better pay and working conditions. Citywide efforts to organize adjuncts at private colleges are underway in Boston,
Pittsburgh, Washington, DC, and elsewhere. All of these various forms of organizing are crucial and deserve active support
from other faculty, students, and the wider community.
But non-tenure-system faculty need more power; how can they best achieve it? At public universities, organizing with
tenure-system faculty holds the most potential. Not only can contingent faculty gain a voice in their workplace, job
security, career ladders, and significant pay raises—but all of this is in the interest of their tenured colleagues.
In the best cases, by organizing together both groups have realized that their own self-interest, rightly understood,
depends on solidarity.
In the fall of 2003, the UMass-Amherst faculty and librarians' union, the Massachusetts Society of Professors (MSP),
prepared for contract negotiations. We conducted a survey to ask members what issues were most pressing. The MSP
(MTA/NEA) represents 1,400 members, including about 1,000 full-time tenured faculty and 400 lecturers and adjuncts
(on our campus these non-tenure-system faculty call themselves "contract faculty," elsewhere they prefer "adjunct" or
"non-tenure-track" or NTT; we use these terms interchangeably). While salaries almost always came up first in
bargaining surveys, that year was different: more members were concerned about the sharp decline of tenure-system
faculty. In the 1980s UMass had employed over 1,200 tenure-system faculty but in 20 years the number had fallen to
950, while the student body was steadily growing. Faculty recognized that their increased workload, larger classes,
teaching and service demands were caused by the shrinkage of the tenured faculty.
Immigration Reform: Corporate Demands Trump Human Rights
By Michelle Chen
Immigration reform has been the year's most feared, least effective, most popular, and most hated
legislative discussion in Washington. You might say that "comprehensive immigration reform"—the
awkward legislative compromise that emerged last summer as Senate Bill 744 and now languishes in
the gridlocked House—was dead on arrival because of its attempt to straddle so many competing,
often conflicting interests, pushing for a panoply of reforms that would either open or harden
the country's porous borders.
While the Republican-dominated House of Representatives wrestles with issues of war, budget deficits,
and Obamacare, the chaos of Capitol Hill may well smother any chances of passing reform legislation
this year. Despite its narrow chances of passage, however, the bill provides a crucial window for
understanding the current alignment of powerful stakeholders advocating immigration reform.
Senate bill 744 has drawn a melting pot of supporters who blur ideological lines. Earlier this year,
the framework proposed by the so-called "Gang of Eight," a bipartisan cluster of leading Senate reformers,
drew broad support from labor organizations, including the AFL-CIO; civil rights groups like the ACLU and
NAACP; and business lobbyists such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce—groups who usually stick to their
own political orbits and, in the case of labor and employers, whose interests often collide.
The Senate bill establishes clear preferences regarding the type of immigrant the U.S. should accept
within its borders: the upward striving student with an impeccable record, the computer programmer
recruited from Mumbai to Silicon Valley. And behind these elite migrants stand laborers in high
demand, like the farmworkers who fuel our agricultural system. Under the reform plan sketched out
by the Senate, these aspiring Americans would be incorporated into the workforce as long as they are
deemed beneficial to the economy. Tens of thousands of immigrant workers would also be admitted
through a convoluted scorecard system, allotting "points" based on economic and professional merits.

The UAW's Do-or-Die Battle in Canton
By Joseph B. Atkins
Walter Reuther saw an opportunity to forge the link between labor and civil rights when he stood beside
Martin Luther King Jr. and A. Philip Randolph on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial 50 years ago. "When Bull
Connor with his police dogs and fire hoses destroys freedom in Birmingham, he is destroying my freedom in
Detroit," he told the crowd at the 1963 March on Washington.
The United Auto Workers leader, vilified as "top labor fuehrer" by the segregationist press in the South,
called for "fair employment" and a "great crusade to mobilize the moral conscience of America ... from Michigan
to Mississippi."
King, in a speech to striking sanitation workers in Memphis five years later, said workers' rights are civil
rights. "Let it be known everywhere that along with wages and all of the other securities that you are struggling
for," he said just before his assassination, "you're also struggling for the right to organize and be recognized."
This link between labor and civil rights is important in the modest local headquarters of the United Auto
Workers just off Nissan Parkway in Canton, Mississippi. A black-and-white photograph of Reuther and King together
hangs prominently on a wall here. Workers, organizers, strategists, and college student volunteers walk past it
every day as they plot the unionization of the nearby 5,200-employee Nissan plant, organized labor's most
important campaign in decades.
The photograph is a reminder of another time, another battle, when the odds were overwhelmingly against success,
yet success came. Bull Connor is no longer in Birmingham. Mississippi's arch-segregationist governor,
Ross Barnett, is no longer waving a Confederate flag and blocking the doors to keep a black man out of Ole Miss.
But outside the UAW's offices, just up the road, is a 3.5 million-square-foot, gleaming white fortress where
another formidable foe rules, a man touted by admirers for his "vision of greatness" yet the polar opposite of
Walter Reuther, a man whose vision has no room for Reuther's UAW inside his fortress.
The Disaster Inside the Disaster: Hurricane Sandy and Post-Crisis Redevelopment
By Miriam Greenberg
"We have all experienced the devastating effects of natural and unnatural disasters in America."
So began a speaker at a post-Hurricane Sandy rally at Zuccotti Park on July 31, 2013, recalling
two previous disasters that the audience knew well: the World Trade Center attack of September 11,
2001, and Hurricane Katrina's flooding of New Orleans on August 29, 2005. Yet by "devastating
effects," he wasn't just referring to the terrorist attack or breached levees. As he went on to
say: "the recovery efforts were the disaster inside the disaster." His first example was close
at hand: the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation (LMDC), the public-private conduit through
which $20 billion in post-9/11 recovery funds flowed, housed in the reconstructed Deutsche Bank
building now rising on Zuccotti's northern edge. Shaking a fist at the tower, the speaker listed
the major corporations and Wall Street firms that were primary recipients of New York's aid.
He drew a parallel to the "recovery" following Katrina, where despite $32 billion in aid, the city,
state, and federal governments were unable to rebuild the neighborhoods or fund the return of New
Orleans' poorest and most vulnerable communities. After Katrina, he said, "We vowed never to have
that same situation arise on our soil."
The speech was one of many along the route of a "Turning the Tide" march led by a new
labor-community coalition, Alliance for a Just Rebuilding (AJR). Beginning at the Staten Island
Ferry terminal and culminating at City Hall, speakers represented the diversity of Sandy-impacted
individuals and organizations from across the five boroughs, including public housing residents and
renters still displaced or living with mold; day laborers who worked as first responders under
abysmal conditions for little pay; and trade unions and community organizations whose members continue
to face economic, health, and emotional hardship. Their immediate goal, as AJR director Nathalie Alegre
put it, was to remind the many New Yorkers—including the then-New York City mayoral candidates—for
whom Sandy was already a "distant memory" that thousands were still affected and in need of aid. Yet
AJR had a longer-term goal: to "turn the tide" on the top-down approaches to recovery and redevelopment
that were established in the wake of 9/11 and Katrina. They unveiled a "people's agenda" for post-Sandy
rebuilding with four demands: good jobs, affordable housing, sustainable energy, and community involvement.
What's striking is how radical this basic platform appeared up against the "new normal" of twenty-first
century post-disaster redevelopment.

Working Class Voices of Contemporary AmericaCalling All Carwasheros
By Patricio Santiago with Sebastian Sanchez
As a child growing up in the campo of Oaxaca, Mexico, my parents and I worked in fields of maize, beans,
garbanzos, and wheat. I was the oldest of seven children and on our farm we harvested enough to survive,
weather permitting. Treatment for any illness neared unaffordable, and after I finished the sixth grade,
education was a luxury we could not afford. As it became harder and harder to provide care for my
diabetic mother, in November 1999, at 27 years old, I decided to travel to the United States to find work
in order to help my parents and younger siblings have a better life.
After a brief stay in Los Angeles, a friend suggested I pursue my American Dream in New York City. There,
he said, the police bothered immigrant workers less and work was more plentiful. He had a brother, Juan,
in New York who could offer me a bed in a two-bedroom apartment with 5 other guys while I figured things
out. All of my roommates worked at car washes, and it was Juan who took me to speak to the manager at my
first car wash in Queens. Without having any idea what the work entailed, I convinced the manager that I
could quickly learn to do any task he assigned. In the first real winter of my life, I stood in the cold
and dried wet cars. I worked twelve hours a day for six days a week. I could barely handle the cold; it
felt like my legs and arms were frozen each day and my fingers would numb. Never in my life had I imagined
that this type of weather existed, let alone that I would have to work in it. I thought about leaving the
job all the time, but had no idea what I would do if I left. I knew that in order to survive and succeed
in this country, and be able to support my family, I had to bear the conditions. My pay was just $3.50
per hour. With multiple layers of socks and pants, I braved the cold and managed to send my family some
money ($200 to $300) every week. Most carwasheros are paid much less than the minimum wage. Many car
wash owners make us pay for any damage that happens to any car out of our tips.

Warning signs of a heart attack
Many people still think of heart disease as a condition that affects men more than women, but coronary heart disease is the single largest cause of death for women in the United States.
In fact, one in eight women ages 45 to 64 lives with heart disease, and each year about 88,000 of those women experience a heart attack. And many of those women couldn't recognize their symptoms quickly.
According to Dr. William Daniel, leading cardiologist and chief medical officer of software provider Emerge Clinical Solutions, heart disease is even more dangerous to women because symptoms of a heart attack are often different for women than men. Worse, most women don't know the symptoms or attribute warning signs to stress or general fatigue. Knowing the signs of an attack, says Dr. Daniel, is the first major step toward preventing heart attacks from being America's No. 1 killer in women.
More subtle than chest pain
Chest pain may seem like an obvious symptom of heart attack, but in reality symptoms are much more subtle and easy to ignore. We've all seen Hollywood heart attacks involving dramatic chest-clutching and sudden collapse, but for women, symptoms can be anything from discomfort that feels like bad indigestion to pain in the arm to breathlessness. Before you learn about the symptoms, it's important to erase assumptions that a heart attack is always a chest-pounding, keeling-over movie melodrama.
More than 70 percent of women surveyed experienced marked fatigue in the days or weeks prior to their heart attacks.

A supplier employee here put one in his home, he says it sounds like a 747 taking off. Glass lined, 3 gpm. Limited life expectancy due to the glass lined steel tank, but I'm sure they will work well in the right applications. Not on par with tankless, but it looks like a viable option in some situations. It would be ay easier to recirc with one (than with tankless), but I believe the cost will put it out of reach for most. MSRP is up there.
AOS/State makes a good product, so you can't go wrong there.
Update: From what I have learned, AOS has addressed the noise issue with the blower. They are much quieter now.

WASAGA BEACH - The OPP is warning people to stay off frozen ice surfaces.
Police say it hasn't been cold enough to allow for strong ice to form.
They note that in Central Region there has been two ice rescues in the last 24 hours.
Authorities say that one rescue was in Brighton, where a snowmobile went through the ice. Another rescue took place in the Township of North Kawartha in Peterborough County. Police say that as a result of that incident a woman is now missing.
Police urge the public to listen to the ice warning, noting if they have to launch a rescue it puts first responders' lives at risk.

Two New Grey's Anatomy Season 4 Promosby Steve Marsi at .
Feast your eyes on two Grey's Anatomy promotional videos we learned about last night. Some clips shown in there we've seen before, while others we haven't. Either way, these videos should get discussion going and get everyone a little more excited for Season Four (if that's even possible)...

Fefy: No it's not from the season 3 sleeping with Finn and Der , because she does not have the black necklace on in that scene. And it's a dress she is wearing on the picture. It must be a wedding dress. I am so sure.
Well I want to be sure… Please make my dream come true and let us see them get married.
Hey love that clip of "girl from the bar" I really hope that Mer tells Der that she loves him and they stay together looks like she was mad when he said that to lexie maybe he'll tell her that there is no chance for her and she'll turn to Alex or Sloan please let her leave Der alone Lets keep our hopes up for Mer/Der to be together this season and for next also.
I'm losing the exitement when i saw the last episode of the third season. Please...Let Meredith get the happiest life with Derek. Don't ever please make another ending. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This film was become "my energy" throughout the days after i broke up. This film was "saved" me from the loneliness. So.... it'll "destroy" my "entire" world if i don't see Mer and Derek get together forever.
Sorry for killing your hope, but unfortunately the pic you are talking about it's from season 3, from the episode "sometimes a fantasy", it's from Meredith's dream about sleeping with Der and Finn
¬¬ It's so sad that she is not in a wedding dress :(
I'm sorry, but don't lose your faith, we will have a MerDer wedding some day, and it will be awesome

Comments about Rugged Terrain T/A:
Have been buying BFG's for years and never had any complaints. The last were All Terrain TA's, and got 70k miles out of them. This time I opted for the Rugged Terrains. A friend asked me some time ago about what tire brand I liked the best and I told him BFG's. He bought the Rugged Terrains and is extemely pleased with them, and he said when it comes time to replace them he will purchase the same tire again. We both use our vehicles on highways, mountain roads and sand. So far I have not experienced any negative issues with them. And will continue using BFG's in the future.
Best Uses
Comments about Rugged Terrain T/A:
Bought this tire for my 2010 Dodge ram 1500. Tire only last 12k miles. Very poor wear. Horrible traction in the snow. The wet weather is a little bit better. Dry was good. Off road was acceptable since it is an all terrain tire. A little noisy but bearable.
Best Uses
Comments about Rugged Terrain T/A:
put 4 rugger terrain on 2005 GMC Sierra 1500 4wd.
Great riding and handling tire. Much better ride and stopping than the grappler A/T tire I was replacing.
Just purchased but great tire!

New! Check out our Machine Hemmed 8mm Habotai scarves. New!
Also known as "China Silk", these lightweight and breezy blank Habotai scarves are the most popular for dyeing and painting, probably because they are the most economical of all the silks. That also makes these very popular with teachers for class projects, Mother's day gifts, etc. Silk painting instructors often choose these for their student's first projects. The price is right for big fund raisers too! They make the perfect weight scarf for summer wear. "Playsilks" are very popular with the kids right now, and these are what are usually used. These have hand rolled hems with 100% silk thread. Ready to dye and paint!
We also have a few sizes in black, by popular demand. They look great when used with some of our more opaque or metallic fabric paints or the foils. Some folks use them with discharge techniques too. Just keep in mind that there is never a guarantee that a black will always discharge, because especially with imported stuff, the dye they are using can change. Also, the color you get when you discharge can vary widely, from a light tan to a dark rust brown. Always best to test if you want to discharge a black garment or fabric.
We recommend, especially if you are re-selling, to pre-wash in Hot water and Synthrapol or our Professional Textile Detergent, all silk before dyeing or painting to remove any leftover residue from the silk worms (Seracin) or finger prints and other stuff that can cause the fabric to dye unevenly. Our product Milsoft is excellent for restoring the soft hand to silk after dyeing.
Average Customer Review
Click here to add or update a review for this product.
I have been actively dyeing these for 2.5 years and although I sell many of them I also wear them daily - so I'm giving feedback from both perspectives.The fabric is beautiful! It dyes well and easily (FYI - I use the microwave method listed in the How-To's). The finished products are gorgeous professional-looking pieces. Without reservation I recommend these. That said here are a few things to be aware of (please note I didn't feel any of them warranted lowering my rating - so these are simply FYI's for you). 1) Every once and a while one slips in that accidentally was sewn with a thread that won't dye - if that happens - let Dharma know and they will replace it - it should not be that way. 2) I find that during the dyeing process about 30% of the time the tag comes at least partially off - I don't care and have not found that my customers do so I don't find this a big deal just mentioning it. 3) Finally it is hand sewn so you do find some imperfections but they are minor and so I just warn customers that is part of what they may find and advise they simply gently trim any loose threads.Again - this is a fabulous product - I've dyed hundreds of these guys by hand (and the 5mm ones). Highly recommend!

re: 22 and 30 and 44 squaresi have dyed over 1000 of these over five years as playsilks so i know the product well. as others said the price is good. HOWEVER the quality has gone down particularly in the last couple years. there are less stitches in the hand rolled hems and it is becoming RARE to wash and dry a silk WITHOUT having the hem unroll in one or more spots. very disappointing. i have called and complained to no avail. please consider how you can up the quality of the work on these dharma!

I've just started silk painting and these scarves were FABULOUS for starting out! They are soft and flow beautifully. Whenever I wear one of my creations I always get compliments and people always want to feel them They can't believe how soft they are.

I love this Silk especially in the 8 x 54 inch size for a beginning dyeing project for my students. It dyes easily with the Color Hue dyes with no heat setting. Fits perfectly in a small sandwich baggie for a random shibori dyed process with the dyes. I order them by the 500 and sometimes 1000 especially with silk prices going up. Always a popular gift item.

Since I no longer feel like a complete novice at painting silk scarves ..... my choice is always this scarf.Successfully seliing them now - which still amazes me. Love ordering things from Dharma.

As mentioned by another consumer these scarves have been turning up with polyester threads that DO NOT dye!! I finally resorted to dying a corner of each scarf before dying to see if it was sewn in silk or polyester. Out of 100 scarves dyed recently 45 of them had polyester threads. I had a deadline to meet so it really screwed up my week. Dharma said they will replace the bad scarves but having already dyed them and processed them I will use them in future projects. Too much work......BUT the machine hems are just not the same.

Although these scarves are beautiful. I had trouble getting them to dye in the seam. I had the machine hemmed ones and they took the dye with no problems. They are replacing the ones I did not make up but the ones I have used my dye on I did not want to send back and they would not credt them. Although I can use them for myself I can not give them as gifts as I had hoped. I would suggest the machine hemmed. The few white spots on the edgers ruin the whole scarf.

Everyone who saw these scarves loved them. I prewashed them in Synthrapol and dyed in Indigo vat using Shibori techniques. They worked great!

Love these silk scarves. They take dye so well I don't find any need to heat treat them to set the dye. No more worry about ruining the sheen of the scarf and so easy to do.

Improved PA Practice Laws Sweep 42 States and the District of Columbia to Help Bridge Healthcare Gap, According to AAPA
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- As millions of new patients enter the U.S. healthcare system under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), state lawmakers are working quickly to modernize physician assistant (PA) practice laws in an effort to increase access to quality healthcare and reduce patient wait times.
The American Academy of Physician Assistants reports that in 2013 42 states and the District of Columbia removed unnecessary legislative barriers to healthcare by improving the ability of PAs to practice medicine to the full extent of their education and experience.
Additional legislation in the works this year can continue the sea change of support for the PA profession. These bills provide other improvements to PA practice not listed above, and there are several other states modernizing PA practice in other ways.
AAPA President Lawrence Herman, PA-C, MPA, DFAAPA, is available for interviews to discuss how state and federal lawmakers are removing regulatory barriers to PA scope of practice, along with the VA's recent directive designed to enhance PA utilization.
WHEN: Telephone interviews are available per request. To schedule an interview, please contact Patrick Dunne at 571-319-4394 or Matt Forke at 202-248-5484.
WHY: PAs increase access to high-quality healthcare-and in many rural or underserved areas, they are already the main primary care provider. Approximately 30 percent of PAs work in primary care. Similar to physicians, PAs practice medicine, including conducting physical exams, diagnosing and treating illnesses, ordering/interpreting lab tests, performing procedures, providing counseling/education and prescribing medications. The PA profession is booming: More than 7,000 new PAs graduate annually from 181 accredited programs. PAs were named one of three primary care providers under the ACA, and they were recently recognized by the World Health Organization for their delivery of high-quality care.
ABOUT PAs: PAs practice medicine in every medical and surgical specialty and setting, and collaborate with physicians and all members of the healthcare team. The PA educational program is modeled on the medical school curriculum, a combination of classroom and clinical instruction that includes more than 2,000 hours of clinical rotations beyond classroom education. PAs are educated at the graduate level, often side-by-side with physicians. They hold master's degrees, are nationally certified and are state licensed to practice medicine through boards of medicine. All 50 states and the District of Columbia allow PAs to practice and prescribe medications. PAs have to recertify every 10 years and complete 100 hours of continuing medical education every two years. And PAs can specialize in a wide variety of areas, including emergency medicine, primary care, surgery, oncology, psychiatry, radiology, pediatrics and more.
For more information, contact Patrick Dunne at 571-319-4394 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
About the American Academy of Physician Assistants
Founded in 1968, the American Academy of Physician Assistants is the national professional society for PAs. It represents a profession of more than 95,000 certified PAs across all medical and surgical specialties in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, the majority of the U.S. territories and within the uniformed services. AAPA advocates and educates on behalf of the profession and the patients PAs serve. It works to ensure the professional growth, personal excellence and recognition of PAs and to enhance their ability to improve the quality, accessibility and cost-effectiveness of patient-centered healthcare.

Thursday, April 24, 2014
By Steve Mistler email@example.com
Staff Writer
Quick and dirty.
Nik Rende, a senior programmer/analyst for the Maine Legislature, fixes a microphone in the Senate Chamber of the State House in Augusta. He and other workers were preparing for the new session that opens Wednesday morning.
Joe Phelan/Kennebec Journal
That's typically how second sessions of the Legislature go, and the one that begins Wednesday should be no different. Lawmakers will tackle a number of issues that could have far-reaching impacts on Maine residents, including the expansion of Medicaid for about 60,000 low-income people, welfare reform and a supplemental state budget that could increase the burden on property taxpayers.
But election-year politics and rhetoric will accompany and shape many, if not all, of the issues.
"The bad news is that the session takes place during an election year, which means things tend to get very partisan," said Sen. Roger Katz, the assistant Republican leader from Augusta. "The good news is that it takes place during an election year, which means lawmakers tend to want to get things done quickly so they can go home and concentrate on campaigning."
At least two of the hottest topics – Medicaid expansion and welfare – may well become part of those campaigns.
Democrats, who won the majority of the Legislature in hotly contested races in 2012, are expected to try to retain that advantage this fall championing the expansion of Medicaid, the publicly funded health insurance program for the poor, elderly and disabled that the state calls MaineCare. Two efforts to pass Medicaid expansion for Mainers who make less than 138 percent of the federal poverty level last year failed, and the push in 2014 will be just as difficult.
"We have to find a way to pass Medicaid expansion," said Sen. Anne Haskell, the assistant Democratic leader from Portland. "That is the priority this session."
Gov. Paul LePage and most Republican lawmakers have opposed expansion, arguing that Maine's previous experience with expanding the program has hamstrung state budgets. They contend that the latest federal proposal is accompanied by hidden costs, and they question promises that the federal government will fully fund expansion for three years, before gradually drawing down to a 90 percent reimbursement rate.
Health and Human Services Commissioner Mary Mayhew has said the state's $2.4 billion Medicaid program, which takes up most of the agency's $3.4 billion budget, is unsustainable. She has repeatedly said that even if the federal dollars arrived as promised, the state would still pay $150 million a year to manage the expansion population.
Polarization over Medicaid expansion can be attributed to its connection to the Affordable Care Act, the federal health care law that encountered a near disastrous rollout in 2013. Republicans locally and nationally have feverishly opposed the law, also known as Obamacare, and already congressional candidates are positioning their campaigns by talking up its bumpy launch. In Maine, State House Republicans have linked President Obama's now-infamous promise, "If you like your health care plan, you can keep it," with Medicaid expansion's promise of federal funding.
More recently, Republicans used findings from a Harvard study evaluating impacts of Medicaid during a long-term experiment in Oregon. The study rebutted a key argument by expansion proponents that access to health care reduces emergency room visits. The Oregon study showed a net increase.
Katz, the Augusta Republican leader, last year authored a Medicaid expansion amendment that fell a few votes short of overriding the governor's veto. He said there were compelling arguments to proceed with expansion, but Republicans open to the idea want it to include an evaluation of the program, its health benefits and some "skin in the game" for recipients. He noted that other Republican governors have been able to craft expansion proposals to meet those goals, but he was unsure if it could happen in Maine.
Instead, the fate of Medicaid expansion in Maine may well be determined by how it helps or hurts a lawmaker's chance for re-election. Recently the Maine People's Resource Center, a polling organization affiliated with the Maine People's Alliance, a liberal activist group supporting the health care law, released a poll showing broad support for Medicaid expansion in legislative swing districts.

Mark Van Bommel
- Squad No: 17
- Position: Midfielder
- Age: 37
- Birth Date: Apr 22, 1977
- Birth Place: Maasbracht, Netherlands
- Height: 1.88m
- Weight: 187 kg
The midfielder started his career at local club RKVV Maasbracht before making his way as a professional with Fortuna Sittard in 1992. Quickly rising up the ranks he attracted the attention of PSV and won three Eredivisie titles while he was also named the Dutch Player of the Year in 2001 and 2005.
Moving to Barcelona in 2006, Van Bommel won the Champions League and La Liga but left the Spanish giants after a year to join Bayern Munich. His brand of no-nonsense midfield craft plugged the gap created when Michael Ballack left for Chelsea, and he picked up two titles and two cups as the first non-German captain of the side.
As if to highlight his importance, Van Bommel signed a six-month contract with Italian club Milan on a free transfer in January 2011 and helped them to the Scudetto.
Making his international debut in 2000, he did not make an appearance in a major tournament until 2006, as the Dutch failed to qualify for the 2002 World Cup and he was injured before Euro 2004. Anchoring the midfield, he impressed in 2006, but fell out with then-coach Marco van Basten and did not return to internationals until 2010 when he was made captain and led his side to the final, only to be beaten by Spain.
Strengths: A real leader and a great ball-winner, he is a tiger in the centre of the park and boasts excellent stamina.
Weaknesses: A hot-head has seen some disciplinary problems, while his range of passing is not as good as it was.
Career high: Captaining the Netherlands side to the 2010 World Cup final.
Career low: Although he won La Liga and the Champions League, his single year in Barcelona in 2005-06 was deemed a personal failure.
Style: Robust, combative, powerful, a destructive force in midfield.
Quotes: ''I don't agree with what people are saying. The yellow card on Tuesday was his first in the entire competition. He has shown a lot of discipline in his play.'' Bert van Marwijk on Van Bommel ahead of the World Cup final.
Trivia: Van Bommel is married to Bert van Marwijk's daughter Andra, with whom he has three children.

Best laser hair experience ever! – I just had my first appointment with Brandon at Nuvage and it was fantastic. I transferred from another laser hair salon and I have to say the difference was like night and day. At the other spa I felt like I was rushed in and out so fast I barely had time to think. Plus, the procedure was very painful.
I am a very modest person but Brandon made me feel completely at ease and the procedure was over before I even realized it! No pain and very, very little discomfort! Instead of dreading the appointments like I was at the other place, I now look forward to going next month.
Also, their monthly membership plan is wonderful! Very reasonably priced for laser hair removal. I went in for a free consultation and I never felt pressured to sign up. They gave me all the information, answered all my questions and let me make my decision without pushing me into anything. If you have ever considered laser hair removal give Brandon a call for a consultation. You won't regret it!
Brandon is Awesome! – Before discovering Nuvage I was getting the Brazillian at a well known spa in Denton ... for just about the same price I am now able to get the Brazillian, my legs, face and underarms done in just about 40 mins. Its less painful and mostly PERMANENT.
I did have hesitations about having a male do my bikini area but after my first visit I was SOLD. Brandon is awesome and goes out of his way to make me feel comfortable. I recommended a friend and she had the same experience.
I highly recommend Nuvage - you won't be disappointed!
Nuvage Spa and Staff – Nuvage Spa and staff is the best I've every seen. I came in to get my wife a gift cert. and Brandon was so very helpful being this is not my strong area of knowledge. I felt a great level of comfort in my first 5 mins. of being there. Thank you so much Brandon for your help and Nuvage is lucky to have you. I'm coming back to have hair removal done on my back. CAN'T WAIT!
Best Facial I ever had!!!!!!! – The Manager/Estheitician Brandon gave me the best faical I've ever had. The products that I now use have made my overall complexion so much better, and I was never one to go through the process. Now it is so easy with the knowledge that I was given to maintain my home care regime. I hope everyone will give Brandon a chance to explain the process and also to enjoy a facial.
Dr. Proctor is a true artist and the staff is incredible!!!! – I have had Botox done by 3 different plastic surgeons and 3 different doctors over the past 10 years. I have had Restalyne and now I have Juvaderm injected once a year. By far the best in the business is Dr. Brian Proctor. He is truly an artist. He knows exactly where to place the product to achieve the best results. No one has ever been able to tell that I have had anything done. I am told that I look at least 10 years younger than my age ever since I started going to Dr. Proctor 4 years ago. I will never ever go to anyone but him again.
The staff at Nuvage is professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable. I now use many of the skin care products that were recommended by the incredible staff. I am so thankful for Dr. Proctor and his staff!!!!
Love my Botox from Dr Proctor at Med Spa ! – Have had botox from Dr Proctor many times, each treatment have been very pleased, Dr Proctor I totally trust and appreciate Dr Proctors experience in knowing where to inject the botox and how much for the look I want.
The staff has always been friendly, helpful and professional, they keep the spa very clean.
I have recommended it to many friends and family.
Love it! – I have been a member at Nuvage for over a year, and I have had great experiences. From facials, peels, and microderm to botox....all have been wonderful. The staff is always friendly and the spa is clean and comfy.
I have recommended it to many of my friends!
Great Service, Great Staff – I have been a Nuvage customer for oh 5-6 months now. I have had nothing but positive experiences the entire time. I joined their membership program which has allowed me to get regular microdermabrasion, facials, hair removal and laser treatments for rosacea at a very affordable price. The staff is well informed and very accommodating and pleasant. The spa manager, Brandon, is very experienced and treats me like I am the only patient he has. He takes the time to explain things and make recommendations for what is best for me personally. I have never ever felt rushed or felt like I was just a number. Sharra is awesome as well and always makes one feel comfortable and at ease.
I have not had Botox from Dr. Proctor in quite a while, but when I did, I received excellent care and results. I plan on seeing him again soon.
I would recommend this spa to all my friends and family. If you want a personalized experience where you feel like a friend, rahter than a number, go to Nuvage!
Nuvage Med Spa is simply the best place to go for Botox. Dr. Proctor is the only doctor that I trust for this procedure. Not only is Dr. Proctor wonderful, but the staff is awesome!!! I am always happy with the results and I am always super excite to see Brandon and Sherra.
Excited – I'm so excited that I was refered from my long time friend to Nuvage for my hair removal and botox needs. First off, I was very impressed with how friendly Brandon and Sherra were. ( First impressions are very important to me). They made sure that I was very satisfied with my service. Not to mention a very affordable memebership fee. Lastly Dr. Procter was awesome with my botox injections and my results are great! Excited!!!!!

Lyonesse: Suldrun's garden
Berkley Books, Mar 1, 1983 - Fiction - 436 pages
The richly imagined land of Lyonesse and the Elder Isles, the lost islands of fantasy between France and Britain, is alive with magic, vivid characters, devious schemes and Old Folk. Suldrun, the daughter of the relentlessly scheming King Casimir of Lyonesse, wants nothing to do with the future her father has planned for her. For her stubbornness, she is exiled to a garden at the edge of Casimir's castle. One day, a shipwrecked sailor washes up on shore. He is Ailias, prince of the kingdom of Troicent, pushed overboard by his cousin. Lyonesse is at war with Troicenet, and the doomed relationship is one of the threads that make up this wonderful tale.
