Wowie. I leave you people without adult supervision for a couple of days and see what happens in the comments? (I was away, and unexpectedly without internet access -- oh the pain!)
Well, I'm back, and first of all I do want to thank all of those who shared their personal experiences, and also faithful commenter/blogger Scalpel, for his determined responses. Despite our contrasting viewpoints, I suspect we have more shared points of agreement than differences. That may be a by-product of working in the same trenches, and the same frustrations with the particular patient population that tends to show up in the ED. Specifically, I think we agree that the lack of personal responsibility demonstrated by (some of) the patients we see is maddening, and that a carte blanche system such as Medicaid encourages irresponsible utilization. Any policy solution which addresses the uninsured crisis should do so in a manner which ensures that patients do have a direct personal financial incentive to ensure that their health care dollars are spent in a rational manner.
Scalpel makes a couple of other points which I would like to address:
"Plenty of people with insurance don't take care of themselves either."
I have heard this many times from many sources, not just Scalpel. It's not totally off-topic, dovetailing with the "personal responsibility" theme, but it's also, well, irrelevant. There's a kind of implication that good health is a result of moral rectitude, and illness is somehow a deserved consequence of the patient's choices. It's a tempting conclusion to draw, given the self-destructive crap both Scalpel and I see every single day. But the counterpoint, a universally observed phenomenon among ER docs, is that the more upstanding a person is, the more likely they are to have some bizarre and lethal diagnosis (I recall the time the Chief of Police came in for a sore throat and I diagnosed him with metastatic laryngeal Ca -- a nonsmoker, of course). The other bizarre corollary is that the "scumbags" are just impossible to kill, it seems. They get drunk and fall off bridges and walk away.
But I digress, which should surprise nobody. The point, I think, is that how well one takes care of oneself should have no bearing on whether an individual is allowed to access the health care system.
"Health care is not a right."
This has been gnawed over to a great degree at Gruntdoc and KevinMD with no shortage of passion, and I will not even try to delve the complicated depths of this argument in an off-the-cuff post like this one. I repeat that there is a place for personal responsibility, and my preference as a physician and entrepreneur is to retain elements of the system which allow me to set/negotiate prices and retain a profit incentive. However, I am not willing to embrace any system which simply excludes 20% of the population with a shrug of the shoulders. I like the train of thought proposed by JimII -- the right to life is a fundamental right; therefore health care necessary to sustain life should be considered a fundamental need inseparable from the right to live. Whether you call it a right or an entitlement or just "universal" is a matter of semantics which means nothing to me. Consider it a moral imperative if you will -- design a system which will cover everybody. That is all I care about.
Scalpel does offer one common false choice: "if we try to provide healthcare for all, they may have to settle for "good" healthcare. Not super-excellent top -of-the-line healthcare." This is right up there with the whole "rationing" argument. Yes, it is possible that systems might be implemented which would ration or diminish the quality of care (see: Canada, UK/NHS). However, these are not obligatory consequences of universal coverage. Much of the ailments which plague the NHS and Canada's Medicare derive from underfunding. Since we're already paying top-dollar for our system, a system which simply preserves expenditures at current relative levels (with appropriate flexibility) should prevent the woes of rationing. As long as we are willing to pay for it -- through payroll, or taxes, or premiums -- there is no reason we cannot continue to enjoy the current quality of care that exists.
By the way, I am even open to a two-tiered system, in which the wealthy can purchase better or preferential access to care, if it is the cost of entry into universal coverage.
"Uninsured care can be handled at the state level with federal assistance. Further federalization of the healthcare system is not the only answer."
Certainly not the only answer. But if you buy the notion that there is some sort of compelling moral obligation to provide care to all Americans, it bothers me that in some places (like Scalpel's home, it would seem) there are no obstacles to care for the poor and there is comprehensive care for all, yet in other localities, like mine, the uninsured are SOL and on their own. The availability of such a fundamental need should not vary by location. I've no problem with using states as laboratories to come up with innovative solutions for intractable problems. But this doesn't require a whole lot of clever thinking -- we know the problem and the solution. I don't care who administers it, but there should be a national standard and national funding. Realistically, this means a federal program. Also, from my politically liberal point of view, I am suspicious of local control, since local programs are more easily subverted and nullified. Reminds me of when Newt tried to break up welfare into "block grants" for the states to disburse as they saw fit. But that is another topic.
Boy, that's a lot for now. More to come as I have time to think & digest. Thanks again to all who have read and contributed.

Well, there is already a differenial in quality amongst hospitals, at least from the patient's perspective. As ERC said, she would "rather have hubby seen by one of the best, than go to another hospital and not get as good healthcare."
The trouble is that not everyone can go to UAB or the Mayo Clinic or Johns Hopkins et al. So if we're nationalizing healthcare, many of us are going to have to settle for less prestigious arrangements.
Rationing is inevitable when one cuts the pie into 300 million pieces.

Sorry, but I don't see the logical extension that you see here. The right to life has always meant that another person is not allowed to take your life. In other words, murder is a crime. The right to life doesn't inherently mean that other people must actively sustain your life. Of course, one can define "right to life" that way but that is not the inevitable logical extension.
In a way, the whole idea of defining human rights in the negative only, i.e. what other people are forbidden from doing to you, as opposed to in the positive (what other people are obligated to do for you), is uniquely American. Of course, we can all decide that we as a society should provide healthcare for all, and I am not necessarily opposed to the idea. But chalking up the distinction between a right and an entitlement to semantics doesn't sit well with me.
As for me (one of the have-nots), I intend to vote for the candidate that most supports "health care for all" and has a valid plan to implement such.ReplyDelete

I am curious as to the law/political precedence that this is based on? Not trying to be snarky, because I always assumed that a "right to life" *also* included a right to basic life-saving measures?
first of all, thank you for your thoughtful discussion about this. i really appreciate it. it's very emotional, and i've said things on previous entries that were probably tactless towards certain people.ReplyDelete
it's a really emotional issue for me right now because my girlfriend has stage four hodgkins with liver involvement at the moment, and of course does not have insurance. and it's enough for me to lose faith completely when i start to get the preception people in the oncologist's office (and the oncologist in particular) aren't maybe giving it their all in my mind. and of course, when i get this perception, it's hard not to immediately interpret it as something that's happening because of their resentment towards the fact that they know they're not getting paid.
the thing that i find most offensive, the thing that indicates to me that there are a lot of people who do basically think you're SOL and should just get out of their face when you're sick and uninsured... is the complete lack of interest or even thought towards experimenting with any type of national healthcare system down the road. i mean, i think a lot of people really genuinely believe that Single Payor would be a disaster (not on political grounds but on common sense grounds), and yet, what would be in the way of agreeing to set up a certain agreed upon system... and if it gets going and it's clear that it's crap, pivot to option B... or put it on hold and think it over again.
people against universal healthcare (especially those in DC) really don't give off the impression that something like this would ever even enter their beautiful minds.

In all human interactions, if someone is willing and able to pay more, they generally get better service. Why should healthcare be any different?
Wouldn't it bother you to not get paid for your work?
Many of us are hesitant to embrace a(nother) national health system because we are intimately aware of the pittance paid by Medicare and Medicaid for our services, the difficulties we face in complying with their endless regulations, and the difficulties many patients face in receiving care through those programs. Why would we expect any other federal universal coverage program to be any different?

I always assumed that a "right to life" *also* included a right to basic life-saving measures.ReplyDelete
I'm no historian, but I do believe that the rights to life, liberty, and property in the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence derive from John Locke's "natural rights". A quick google search for John Locke brings up the following quote "The state of nature has a law of nature to govern it, which obliges everyone: and reason which is that law, teaches all mankind who will but consult it, that being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty or possessions..."
It is very much a stretch in my mind to think that John Locke and those after him had in mind a right to life-saving measures. Who would be responsible for delivering those measures? How would this right be enforced? As Thomas Hobbes said, 'Covenants, without the sword, are but words and of no strength to secure a man at all.' This is why the American Bill of Rights was created, to put serious muscle into protecting said rights.
There have been countries that declared "the right to health" for their citizens. Soviet Union was one of them. It was actually in the Soviet criminal code that a physician would be held criminally liable if he/she did not deliver health measures. I don't know how the law was enforced and I don't know if it's on the books any longer. Basically it meant that the State (the Party) could call up a physician in the middle of the night and say: 'Be ready in 5 minutes, there is a black Marusya coming to pick you up, comrade Stalin just threw up.'
i actually completely agree with you. if i were in the shoes of a doctor who knew a patient wasn't paying their bills, and that was directly effecting my pocketbook, it would be hard not to have at least a minimal amount of resentment-- despite how well i liked the person, wanted to treat them, and felt sympathetic towards their financial predicament.
what i was saying was that i resent that this is the case in the first place. it just shouldn't be this way, period. believe me, it's enough to handle cancer in the first place, without having to feel self-conscious about the fact that doctors and their staff feel like you're imposing on them unduly.
in the case of my girlfriend, she's worked all her adult life hard, she's smart, she's good hearted, she's humble, she gives way more than she asks for, and she got hodgkins.
my problem is, what part of that equation says that she deserves to be treated as a second class citizen when she's trying to beat her disease?
is is that she wasn't willing to dedicate 1/4th of her monthly income before the disease struck to paying for a sufficient personal insurance plan? when she was trying hard enough to afford paying rent and bills in the first place? or was it that she didn't try hard enough to find a job where there was health insurance, despite that she's been at the point, multiple times, where she didn't have the financial luxury to sit back and wait for that, because she had to find a job immediately?
and what makes all the other people who have been in her situation and will in the future deserve it?
i'm saying that as of right now, to call what this country has in terms of health care 'ideal' is what, in my mind, someone would say who hasn't had to go through something like what my girlfriend is going through right now.
and with regards to preventative health care being a bonus to universal healthcare, she had all the classic symptoms of hodgkins for a year or more before the lump above her collar bone became so large that she found it. sweating, severe itching, fatigue, etc.
i'd really like to think if she had had health insurance, a doctor's visit or routine xray would have prevented it from going to stage four.
is that a supposition that opponents of universal health care would protest?

Hm. Loosely interpretated, would the refusal to provide life-saving treatment amount to someone harming the person? even if the someone constitutes "the state" or whatever?
Also, blahblah, the era in which both Locke and Jefferson wrote was completely different from the era that we live in. Why assume a basic right to [life saving] medical treatment when it just didn't exist at that time?

Don't resent the patient who can't pay.ReplyDelete
Resent the system that means they can't afford to.
I resent Socialism (and Socialists) more than I resent patients who can't pay their bills.ReplyDelete

Because Socialism doesn't work. Never has, never will. FDR saddled us with more Socialism than we should have allowed already. Once such a system gets a toehold, it's nearly impossible to eradicate.ReplyDelete
Having said that, I would admit that pure Capitalism isn't entirely reasonable either. Although such a system would be far preferable to pure Socialism.
I think the best solution is a mixture of both, like we have right now.
I don't think that a right to healthcare springs full grown from the right to life, liberty, and property. I think that there are certain things that cannot be based on how good a capitalist you are.ReplyDelete
But first, there are lots of things that should be based on how good a capitalist you are. You should be able to eat in nice restaurants. You should be able to drive nice cars and have cool computers. You should get to go on vacations. If you are a good capitalist, that is, you do a job that allows you to acquire money within the confines of our legal system, then you deserve those things.
I don't care how hard you work; I don't care how socially valuable your work is; I don't care how much training it took to do the work you do. If you are a good capitalist, it is moral that you should enjoy the fruits of capitalism.
However, being a good capitalist should not entitle you to vote twice. You should not be allowed to break the law. You should not be allowed to live longer.
Why? Well, I can stomach preachers, teachers, social workers, etc. driver less nice cars than lawyers, doctors, and corporate executives. But I cannot stomach them being allowed to suffer from sickness longer. I think its wrong.
We aren't doing very well in any of these three areas. Attorneys provide pro bono assistance to the indigent, but not nearly enough to make our justice system equal. Equal access to politicians, please? Frankly, medicine is definitely the closest.
This isn't a legal argument. It is a moral one. Just because we believe that the wealthy--like me, btw--deserve to have nicer things, does not mean that we have to believe the wealthy deserve better medicine, protection under the law, or political representation.

You should not be allowed to live longer? Once you turn 70 (65, anyone?), and your tax return shows 500K (100K, anyone?) of income, let's just kill you off. It must feel great, jimii, to be as moral as you are.
Anon 6:43,ReplyDelete
I don't think JimII was suggesting a "maximum legal age" (though I know some ER docs who think it might not be such a bad thing!), and you know that.
I think that poor people should not have to die young because they are poor. That is what JimII was saying and I don't think anyone with a sense of conscience can disagree with it.
I don't necessarily agree with a blanket statement like that. As I have said before, just because a technology is available doesn't mean everyone is equally entitled to it.ReplyDelete
Those who try to claim the moral high ground never seem to want to discuss the concept of lines being drawn, but in a single payer system rest assured that lines will be drawn, budgets will be kept, and care will be denied.
I concede it's an oversimplification. Poor people will always die earlier, from a variety of other causes, of course. And I've already said that I would be OK with a system which was tiered so some degree, so long as everybody was guaranteed some basic level of benefits.ReplyDelete
And remember that of the plans being discussed for universal health, "Single Payor" is just one and not necessarily my favorite. Wyden's plan seems to have some distinct advantages and also guarantees universal coverage, without rationing.

Earth : North America : Canada : Quebec : Southwestern Quebec : Laurentides : Mont-Tremblant
Mont-Tremblant [7] is a small village in Quebec, Canada, known for the famous Mont-Tremblant Ski Resort. Located in the Laurentian mountain range, Mont-Tremblant ("Trembling mountain" in French) is surrounded by lush boreal forest and breathtaking views, standing at 875 meters (2871 feet).
Despite being a ski resort, in recent years, Mont-Tremblant has become a popular getaway for tourist and locals alike, whether in winter or in summer.
Mont-Tremblant is divided into two parts. The original village of Mont-Tremblant now goes by the name of The Village, but these days it's The Resort (aka the Pedestrian Village), some 13 km away directly at the foot of the mountain, where the action is. Built by Intrawest (the company behind Whistler) starting in 1992, the Resort is a somewhat Disneyland-y concoction of pretty pastel houses, but it looks improbably idyllic in winter with a light (or, not uncommonly, heavy) dusting of snow, maple logs on the fire and lights twinkling in the windows. Vehicles are strictly prohibited — hence the name — and many hotels can be reached directly on ski. A free gondola connects the lower hotels to the ski lifts.
Surrounding the inhabited areas is Mont-Tremblant National Park (Parc national du Mont-Tremblant), the biggest park in the SEPAQ network and the first national park to have been created in Québec.
Get in
By plane
Mont Tremblant International Airport (IATA: YTM) [8] has seasonal direct flights to and from several US cities, such as Philadelphia and Dallas. Continental Airlines operates scheduled service to Mont Tremblant airport from Newark, and Porter Airlines from Toronto.
The nearest major airport is in Montreal.
By car
Mont-Tremblant is most easily reached via Autoroute 15 North from Montreal to Sainte-Agathe, where it merges with 117 for the last 30 km (still four-laned highway). Take exit 119 (Montée Ryan) to Chemin Duplessis and follow indications for Tremblant Resort. The trip takes about 90 minutes.
From the west (Ottawa and Toronto), it's possible to use smaller roads to shave a few kilometers off the journey, but the roads are very small at times and may be snowed in during the winter. Detouring via Montreal is thus, in all likelihood, the faster option.
If you are driving in the winter remember Snow Tyres are now Law in Quebec! (Only mandatory for vehicles registered in Quebec.)
Car Rental really is essential if your looking to maintain your independance in and out of the resort, but prices vary dramatically between operators so do your homwork on price comparisons. Firms like AVIS also do deals with local hotelier's that can be accessed via simple link throughs and can really be worth checking out - try: http://www.avis.co.uk/avisonline/gb/ibe.nsf/reservationhomemicrosite?openview&MST=1B618EDABF897CB6C12573CB0043E4EC
By bus
Two intercity bus lines provide service into Mont-Tremblant. The primary service is operated by Groupe Galland [9] between Montreal, Mont-Tremblant, and Mont-Laurier. There are generally six trips daily between Montreal and the St-Jovite section of Mont-Tremblant; some trips provide direct or connecting service to the Mont-Tremblant resort. Two of the trips continue beyond Mont-Tremblant to Mont-Laurier. Autobus Maheux [10] also provides service to the St-Jovite section of Mont-Tremblant, but the service is restricted to carrying passengers only to points north of Mont-Laurier (local transportation to points between Montreal and Mont-Laurier is provided exclusively by Groupe Galland). During the winter ski season, Skyport [11] provides direct service between the Montréal-Trudeau airport and the Mont-Tremblant resort.
Most bus travelers from Ontario and points west travel first to Montreal, then to Mont-Tremblant. However, it may be possible to save some travel time by going through Ottawa instead of Montreal. Voyageur [12] operates one bus daily (two buses on Fridays and Sundays) between Ottawa and Grand-Remous, with a connection in Grand-Remous to Autobus Maheux [13] for service to and from Mont-Tremblant. Check schedules carefully before travel.
Regional transit bus service is provided by Transport collectif intermunicipal Laurentides [14]. There are six weekday and two weekend trips that provide service to all points between the St-Jovite section of Mont-Tremblant and Saint-Jérôme. There are also two weekday taxibus services to all points between Mont-Tremblant and Labelle. At Saint-Jérôme connections may be made with the rush hour only commuter trains between Saint-Jérôme and Montreal, operated by Agence métropolitaine de transport [15]; and also with daily regional bus service between Saint-Jérôme and the Montmorency Métro [16] station in Laval, operated by C.I.T. Laurentides [17].
Within Mont-Tremblant, daily transit bus service is operated between the St-Jovite section and the Mont-Tremblant resort by a contractor to the local Chamber of Commerce. [18]
Aside from mildly iconic clocktower in the lower village, there are no historic sights in Mont Tremblant. But what it lacks in history it makes up for in the surrounding natural beauty. Mountains, lakes and forests provide an idylic setting - especially in the more rustic northern side.
Mont Tremblant is an internationally-renowned and multi award winning ski destination. It doesn't come cheap though: your basic day pass costs $70/day, plus possible high season surcharges. However, this is competitive to European resorts thanks to favorable exchange rates.
If you visit in the summer, the resort on the south side of the mountain is a great starting point for activities. As well as mountain activities there is cycle hire and an indoor pool, 'Aqua Club de Source'. Try mini-golf or walk down to the shore of Lac Tremblant for water sports. At the top of the resort there is an 'Activity Centre' where you can book a huge variety of activities. [19]
Nearby, Parc de Mont Tremblant is one of the major parks listed in the Parcs Quebec network and features camping, canoe-camping, well-maintained hiking trails, canoe rental. See the SEPAQ website (in French and English) [20] for more information and rates.
If your looking for a more convenient Ski experience try the north side of the resort - not only does it have the best runs, but also an abundance of free parking that makes your walk to the ski lifts both shorter and easier. The North side also benefits from catering and equipment rental - great if you simply want to focus on what you came for and maximise your time on the slopes.
It's nice to soak your bones in a hot tub after hitting the slopes all day, either in a locally rented home (if your lucky enough) or in one of the half dozen or so spas in Mont-Tremblant.
The pedestrian village has a good selection of stores, with a predictable emphasis on high-end winter clothing, winter sports goods and maple syrup-themed souvenirs. There is also one smallish supermarket and several convenience stores for daily necessities. Prices for such convenience can be on the high side though, and you may be able to save quite a bit by visiting the original village or stocking up at nearby St Jovite instead.
Accommodation prices in Mont-Tremblant are highly seasonal: the same room that goes for under $100 on a rainy weekday in the fall may shoot up to over $400 on a holiday weekend in the winter. Book early!

Taylor Swift Might Be Smothering Harry Styles
In news that should come as something of an early Christmas gift for certain hysterical One Direction fans, Hollywood Life is reporting that distinctively coiffed heartthrob Harry Styles may be looking to put the brakes on with his ever-present paramour Taylor Swift.
The site quotes an unnamed source (of course) as telling the New York Daily News, "In the beginning, Harry loved all the attention, but now he's wondering what he got himself into." This is admittedly headline-baiting gossip clinging to the bare minimum of newsworthiness by the thinnest of gossamer threads, but this is the holiday season, and since we know how many of you have been dreaming of a single Harry Styles for Christmas, we figured sharing it would be the least we could do.
In any event, whether or not Harry is really ready to inspire Taylor's next chart-topping kiss-off anthem, the platinum duo still gives the appearance of being a couple in the throes of blissful young love -- which is pretty much what you'd expect, given that they only took their relationship public a few weeks ago. In other words, we'd take this news with a heavy grain of salt -- but if you've been planning on spending Christmas Eve nestled all snug in your bed with visions of Harry dancing in your head, maybe this will make your holidays extra festive.

Trout favorite for AL MVP, but NL race wide open
As surprises go, you can find bigger ones than for a National League Central catcher to be a strong candidate for the NL Most Valuable Player Award.
Yadier Molina, of course, has become a regular in the discussion.
As surprises go, you can find bigger ones than for a National League Central catcher to be a strong candidate for the NL Most Valuable Player Award.
Yadier Molina, of course, has become a regular in the discussion.
But if a catcher upsets the sluggers this year in the NL, Molina will get nothing more than an assist for opening our minds. The hardware would go, deservingly, to the Brewers' Jonathan Lucroy, who before this season hadn't even been an All-Star.
It's time to handicap the MVP races as contenders head into the final six weeks that will settle the postseason field.
With Miguel Cabrera taking a step backward, Mike Trout has established himself as the guy to beat in the American League, but sorting out the NL field is quite the task. If the vote was held today, it seems very unlikely that any candidate would receive half of the 30 votes.
The top three candidates at this point are the Marlins' Giancarlo Stanton, the Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw and Lucroy.
While Stanton has the totals that fit the profile, he's on a team that is still on the outside looking in at the playoffs, and a lot of voters (myself included) have a bias toward players who lead their teams to the postseason. Kershaw's candidacy (like Felix Hernandez's in the AL) faces the basic question of whether pitchers belong in the discussion alongside everyday players.
There's nothing to really hold against Lucroy. That's why he heads this list of MVP candidates.
National League
1. Lucroy, Brewers: Milwaukee has led the NL Central continuously since tying the Pirates for the lead on April 6, and Lucroy has been the biggest reason why. He does a great job handling the pitching staff -- and you thought Glen Hansard was lead singer of The Frames? -- while throwing out 25.3 percent of runners and compiling a 1.5 defensive WAR, second to Russell Martin among NL catchers. Heading into Tuesday's action, Lucroy is hitting .303 and projects to rack up 17 homers and 75 RBIs. Nothing about that screams MVP, but it's the same kind of package that Molina put together in finishing fourth behind Buster Posey in 2013 and third behind Andrew McCutchen last year.
2. Stanton, Marlins: He could be a very easy choice if Miami was able to somehow make the playoffs without Jose Fernandez. The Marlins were 44-52 and in seventh place (8 1/2 games back) for the second NL Wild Card spot on July 19, but they've cut that deficit to 3 1/2 games. A red-hot Stanton down the stretch would make Miami the story of the year. That would mean he'd probably do even better than his current pace. Heading into Tuesday, Stanton is hitting .295 with a .964 OPS, and he projects to hit 42 homers and finish with 115 RBIs. That's what an MVP looks like. He'll be a strong candidate, even if the Marlins fade.
3. Kershaw, Dodgers: On his way to leading the Major Leagues in ERA for a fourth straight year, Kershaw's dominance is the one sure thing for the Dodgers. He's 14-3 with a 1.86 ERA and a Majors-best 0.84 WHIP. But Kershaw hasn't been the innings-eater that Justin Verlander was when he won the AL MVP Award in 2011. The case against Kershaw will include his missing five or six starts while on the disabled list in April and May. But that time off might help his kick to the finish and his performance in the playoffs. Don't count Kershaw out.
4. McCutchen, Pirates: Off the DL, the stretch run will determine how strong of a case he makes in defense of his 2013 NL MVP Award. McCutchen's performance (.311, .947 OPS, 5.0 WAR) positions him to be a strong candidate if Pittsburgh can get its starting rotation in order to reach the playoffs.
5. Yasiel Puig, Dodgers: A novelty a year ago, Puig has become a key player on one of the NL's best teams. He's hitting .313 with a .912 OPS and a 4.1 WAR. Puig may not be quite the all-around player that McCutchen is, but the Dodgers kicked it into gear after moving him to center field. He has learned an awful lot in his short time in the Major Leagues. If that shows in September, Puig will be near the top of the discussion.
Five others who could fit on an NL ballot: Dee Gordon, Dodgers; Anthony Rendon, Nationals; Carlos Gomez, Brewers; Matt Adams, Cardinals; and Josh Harrison, Pirates.
American League
1. Trout, Angels: This is the time for the guy who was runner-up to Cabrera the past two seasons. Trout's consistent production in every area of the game has been the foundation for a team that has suddenly passed Oakland to be the best in the AL West and arguably the Major Leagues. He's hitting .291 with a .939 OPS, and he's on pace to finish with 35 homers, 114 RBIs and 107 runs scored. At this point, there's almost as good of a chance of Trout being a unanimous AL MVP Award choice as there is of anyone snatching the trophy out of his hands.
2. Josh Donaldson, A's: Arguably the AL's best player after the first two months, Donaldson still is basically even with Trout in WAR. He's batting .252 with an .805 OPS, and he projects to hit 33 home runs and record 110 RBIs. Donaldson has quietly been very productive since the All-Star break, bouncing back strong from a horrible June (.181, .509 OPS).
3. Robinson Cano, Mariners: Remember when everyone scoffed that Cano would chase the almighty dollar to the Pacific Northwest? He'll certainly feel a lot of vindication if he leads Seattle to the playoffs while the Yankees fall to the wayside without him. That has become a distinct possibility. Cano is hitting .329 with an .868 OPS, and he projects to have 14 homers and 88 RBIs. Safeco Field hasn't exactly destroyed him, has it?
4. Jose Abreu, White Sox: At one point, it looked like he might pull off the AL Rookie of the Year Award/AL MVP Award combination, but he's had a power outage since midseason. Abreu hasn't stopped hitting, however, and he could put up numbers that get him in the discussion with a strong finish. The Cuban first baseman is hitting .302 with a .949 OPS, and he projects to hit 40 homers with 115 RBIs.
5. Nelson Cruz, Orioles: If the Angels aren't the best team in the AL at the moment, the O's are. They would be well up the track if not for hitting home runs in bunches, and nobody has hit more of them than Cruz, who is on pace to finish the season with 42 homers and 111 RBIs. He's a one-dimensional player who has the 2013 Biogenesis suspension hovering over him, so he seems unlikely to get the benefit of the doubt from voters. Manager Buck Showalter is going to have to do some campaigning in late September.

Oh thank goodness. I always thought I was missing something REAL important for the Sega Saturn. I could never get the darn emulator to work and the asking price is WAY over my budget.100 dollars? I could buy like, every Fire Emblem game I don't own that came out to the US.
Sort of want Dragon Force maybe? I think... an RPG that had traditional PD rail shooter bits instead of dungeons/boss fights might've been more interesting.
Quote from: MeshGearFox on March 14, 2014, 08:26:23 PMSort of want Dragon Force maybe? I think... an RPG that had traditional PD rail shooter bits instead of dungeons/boss fights might've been more interesting. Just in case CJ_Iwakura didn't drive the point home, or you missed it, I will intentionally echo the Dragon Force love he expressed.If you are at all considering Dragon Force, JUST DO IT!! It was, in my honest opinion, one Working Designs finest achievements. Whats more, I still can't say any game to this day really reminds of it... Quite a unique experience it was.I'm still upset we didn't get the sequel stateside! LoLAs far as Panzer Dragoon goes, I totally agree with your statements Mesh. I will be so bold as to say I didn't enjoy my time with it at all. Its been a LONG time so I can't recall precisely why, but it was the only Saturn JRPG I dropped. Hell, to be honest I enjoyed Albert Odyssey more then PDS. Albert Odyssey wasn't exactly stellar by any means but at least it had charm... Panzer Dragoon had... ummmm.. yea, I'm at a loss... dragons I guess...?
Maybe I didnt make the first post clear enough but I already have Albert Odyssey Panzer Dragoon Saga and Shining Force 3 along with many other games that arent RPGs. I actually started to get a lot of non RPGs and thats what I mainly wanted the Sega Saturn for I just figured Id pick up a few that were on the system and thats why I bought those three. Im towards the end of Shining Force 3 and just started Panzer Dragoon Saga had a few questions about the game actually. Are all of the items that have a yellow icon (the useable items have a green icon) just to sell to the shops because they all have different descriptions that are kinda weird. By the way the first disc was about 2 hours long but I already knew going into the game that its pretty short. The game is fun to just move around but so far nothing big in the game has happened. Also does anyone remember what the 4 different dragon forms do I already know what the agility the attack and defense forms do its just the last one but as far as the game itself so far so good

Here\'s one reason why this stock market isn\'t going to truly slump any time soon, according to Morgan Stanley analysts: \"The lack of a credible bear case.\"
The analysts, in a report published Monday, say the top of the market is defined by hubris and debt, and argue neither is present at the moment. Instead, it\'s hard to argue that costs — whether as capital spending, inventory or hiring — are rising enough yet to be a threat to profit levels, they say.
Adam Parker and team write:
\"We would wait for signs that backlogs are aging and growing or that book-to-bill ratios are meaningfully above 1.0 in the technology and industrial sectors before we'd expect to see a pickup in total capital spending.\"
As for inventories, a bigger buildup in the next round of quarterly earnings would be a concern.
Finally, \"the largest U.S. companies really have maintained hiring discipline, with far slower growth in headcount than revenue growth, year-to-date.\"
Turning to the debt side of the argument, low interest rates and companies\' improved ability to meet their payments means the odds of problems there are sharply lower than they have been in some time, the analysts say.
Instead, they\'re back to bullish view in the wake of the market\'s recent pullback, after having gone to \"balanced\" on a 12-month forward view last month. The analysts say stock-market valuations could still expand strongly because the economy is improving, real yields are higher (and inflation is low), and Fed policy is still accommodative.
Their \"base-case\" scenario for the next 12 months (which they say has a 60% probability of happening) is for the S&P 500 to reach 2050 by mid-2015. The bear case — for which they put a 20% probability — comes with no earnings growth in 2015.

Liberty News
Alumni Andrews, Coleman return to LU to share at Convocation
|Meredith Andrews
Monday's Convocation took on an alumni focus, as three Liberty University graduates were recognized and two took a special role in the program. Radio talk show host Ken Coleman ('96) and recording artist Meredith Andrews ('05) shared what God has done in their lives since graduating from Liberty. Zach Martin ('12) was introduced as the first Liberty graduate to announce a candidacy for the Republican nomination of Virginia's 19th House of Delegate District.
Andrews, a Dove Award-winning worship music artist, performed two songs for the special music, accompanied by her husband, Jacob Sooter. When she attended Liberty, Andrews sang with Liberty's Campus Praise Band. She released her third album, "Worth It All," in January.
Coleman, best known for his radio program, "The Ken Coleman Show," received national attention after his exclusive interview about traditional marriage with Dan Cathy, president of Chick-fil-A, went viral. His show was featured on every major news outlet in the nation, including Good Morning America, NBC Nightly News, Fox News, CNN, CBS This Morning, Fox & Friends, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and The Huffington Post.
|Ken Coleman speaks during Convocation.
Among his other notable interviews are President Jimmy Carter, Tim Tebow, Sen. John McCain, Tony Dungy, Lou Holtz, Mike Huckabee, Michele Bachmann, Tony Hawk, and T.D. Jakes. He is the author of the new book, "One Question: Life Changing Answers from Today's Leading Voice."
In his Convocation message, Coleman told students how God created them uniquely for a purpose and that His will for their lives is to operate in their "sweet spot," which he identified as the intersection of their passions and strengths.
He shared his story of how God used his Saturday morning radio show to give him a national platform after the interview with Cathy. He encouraged students to find their niche and stay in it, waiting on God's timing.
"What fires me up most is when I come back today and I look around this room … we have no idea who among us will literally change the world," Coleman said.
He quoted Henry David Thoreau, who said: "Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them."
He challenged students to not miss what God has in store for them.
"What is your song? You find your sweet spot at the intersection of your greatest strength and your greatest passion and you will find your song. I implore you today to find your song and to start singing it and sing it loud every day until you draw your last breath."
Coleman also shared a story close to Liberty's heart. He and his wife adopted their son from the Liberty Godparent Home.
Located near Liberty's campus and founded by Dr. Jerry Falwell, Sr., the Godparent Home provides an alternative to abortion for girls ages 12 to 23, by offering a nurturing environment and guidance in deciding whether to keep their baby or put him or her up for adoption.
The birth mother of Coleman's son was recognized in Convocation and received a standing ovation from students. Johnnie Moore, vice president for communications, thanked her on behalf of the university for her courage in choosing life. She now attends Liberty University Online.
- Listen to Victory FM for interviews with Andrews (Tuesday, 8:15 a.m. and 7:30 p.m.) and Coleman (on Wednesday, same times).

I genuinely thought I knew all there was to know about the Kardashians, but today I have, thankfully, been proven wrong. OK, so were you aware that Rob Kardashian was dating Rita Ora? Me neither! Great, so that makes two of us. Apparently the reality star and the British pop singer had been together for a couple months, even sharing photos being all lovey-dovey, but now, folks, the party's over. The pair has ended their romance, but lucky for us, neither of them really wanted to take the high road, and their breakup is, in true Kardashian form, providing a lot of drama. Did you happen to see Rob Kardashian's twitter account? I mean, before he went through and deleted everything?
He took to social media to put his ex on blast in a major, major way, and tweeted:
She cheated on me with nearly 20 dudes while we were together, I wonder how many she will sleep with now that we apart? But I mean 20?!!!
How can a woman who is so busy trying to start her own career have time to be with so many dudes all while in a relationship.
Yup. Apparently Rita got busy with 20 guys in three months, which sounds more exhausting than it does exciting, but, whatever.
Then, in perhaps a rare flash of Kardashian self-awareness and clarity, Rob went back and deleted most of his Twitter account.
If Rob's goal was to humiliate and shame Rita Ora, I gotta say, I don't think that's exactly what happened. His plan to publicly call-out his ex totally backfired. He didn't embarrass her, he embarrassed himself. Plus, I now know who Rita Ora is, so there's that.
Do you think Rob embarrassed himself?

First image from behind the scenes of 'Avatar'
So this is the first proper still we've seen from Cameron's new movie 'Avatar'. There's a lot of backlash against cameron for Titanic, but I say fuck the haters, this is a guy who has genuinely pushed Movie technology forward and is continually striving to do interesting things with the medium. Plus he did Terminator 1, 2, AND Aliens. FUCKING ALIENS FOR FUCKS SAKE!. I'm a Cameron Fanboy end of.
I've read the script for Avatar (freely available if you search google) and I honestly think if he manages to avoid to much eco-preachiness and pull of his 3D/Live Action/CinExperience thing, then the movie is gonna really push the cinema experience in a new direction… and by that I mean show the way for hollywood and their attitude of "nobody goes to the cinema anymore… what shall we do?.. raise ticket prices? DONE!'. It's a big 'IF' but if anyone can give it a good shot, it's JC.
I urge you to go read the Avatar script right now.
"In the future, Jake, a paraplegic war veteran, is brought to another planet, Pandora, which is inhabited by the Na'vi, a humanoid race with their own language and culture. Those from Earth find themselves at odds with each other and the local culture."

Sultanate of Oman (سلطنة عُمان) is an Arab nation on the south east corner of the Arabian peninsula. Oman has a narrow coastal plain up to only 16 kilometers in width, and then wide barren mountain ranges and waterless plateaus further inland. Oman also controls the access to the Persian Gulf with the Musandam peninsula, a separate enclave to the north. The total area is 309,500 km2, although its boundaries with the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia are still undefined.
Oman has a population of over 3,200,000 and the capital city is Muscat, which is a major port in the southwest region of the Arabian peninsula. Like many middle eastern countries some 600,000 expatriates perform much of the menial work in the country.
Oman succeeded Portugal as a power in the western Indian Ocean in the eighteenth century. In the late 18th century, Muscat signed a series of friendship treaties with Great Britain but it never became a British colony. In the 1950's Britain would aid in suppressing uprisings by the rebellious interior tribes. In 1970 Sultan Said bin Taimus was overthrown by his son to free the country from his father's oppressive rule. Qaboos bin Said al-Said has ruled as Sultan since then.
With large oil reserves Oman has been able to develop rapidly.
Government and Politics
The Sultanate of Oman is a hereditary absolute monarchy. The Sultan is both chief officer of state and chief executive and wields considerable power in a largely centralized state.

February 24, 2007
A crowd of well over 200 people gathered to formally rededicate the Phi Kappa Psi Indiana Gamma chapter house, the latest fraternity construction project completed in the College's Fraternity Partnerships campaign.
Click here to see photographs from Saturday's celebration. See more photos and listen to Joe Klen '97, Director of Annual Giving and a Phi Psi, talk about the importance of the Feb. 24 rededication.
The Indiana Gamma chapter house received a $3 million renovation with a stunning new entrance to the building; a revitalized living room, dining room, and kitchen; and reconfigured living space for the undergraduate members, among many improvements. Click here to see the Phi Kappa Psi construction blog.
"This new chapter house ushers in a new era of prosperity for Phi Kappa Psi," said Chapter President Jason Gray '08 (pictured right). "Our brotherhood will forever strive to make you proud."
Phi Kappa Psi thrived on the Wabash campus from 1870 through 1901 when it was disbanded. Thanks to the diligent work of Edward Knight, Wabash Class of 1897, Indiana Gamma re-emerged on the Wabash campus in 1948.
Alumni from seven decades gathered to celebrate the occasion, including Dick Griesser '51, who was one of the chapter's "re-founders" when Phi Kappa Psi returned to Wabash in 1948. Griesser related the early history of the chapter, which was colonized in 1947 as "Gamma Phi" until the national Phi Kappa Psi fraternity granted the Wabash chapter a new charter.
Griesser also paid tribute to his deceased pledge brother, Dick Regnier '52, who for more than 50 years guided the work of the undergraduate chapter and for whom the great hall in the new chapter house is named.
Also on hand was devoted Phi Psi alumnus Gordon Peters '52 — Griesser's pledge son — who honored Indiana Gamma's rich history of brotherhood and achievement, and paid tribute to Regnier and other early members of the chapter.
"Consider where we are today — at a college now in its 175th year; Phi Kappa Psi Indiana Gamma has been an important part of that history for 90 years," said Peters.
"Everything we have today comes from those people who came before us," Peters said to the undergraduates. "Will you do your part when the call comes?"
Ben Kessler '74, who for 27 years has served as Indiana Gamma's chapter advisor, was as proud as anyone in attendance. "I'm so grateful to be able to serve the men of Phi Kappa Psi… I'm more of a cheerleader than anything, offering encouragement to the undergraduates."
Kessler also paid tribute to Dick Regnier, whose widow Margaret was on hand for the festivities. "Dick Regnier was my mentor and I miss him very much. I know his spirit is with us today."
Master of ceremonies Terry Hamilton '89, who serves as chairman of the Indiana Gamma House Corporation, was pleased to welcome Claude Warren, the assistant executive director of the Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity. He also had the opportunity to joke with Warren, a DePauw University graduate. "As Phi Psi brothers and gentlemen, we're pleased to have you here… even if you are a Danny."
The celebration — which included guided tours through the chapter house and lunch — ended in song, just as it had begun. Gathered arm-in-arm, the brothers sang the fraternity's most honored song, Amici, then cheered "High, high, high, Phi Kappa Psi, live ever, die never, Phi Kappa Psi!"

Now, we've seen the Sorceress contact He-Man by telepathy a hundred or more times.
We've seen the Sorceress speak to Adora/She-Ra through a telepathy of sorts.
Can He-Man and She-Ra communicate with one another by telepathy?
If so, could they have an entire conversation that way, or is it something that can only be used for a sentence or two or three?
I re-call reading a She-Ra episode review where she contacted her brother directly through telepathy.

The California pot business is booming, which is great news for marijuana advocates. The bad news is that the boom, like other booms in the past, is decimating the California environment. Pot growers have illegally cut down trees, graded mountains, dumped fertilizer, spread poisons and pesticides and have diverted or used up local water resources in their attempts to keep up with the burgeoning pot industry.
Scientists examined a 37-square mile area in California just south of Eureka and found nearly 300 farms and 300 greenhouses in the area. These farms use at least 18 million gallons of water from the area, mostly from the Eel River and local creeks. Additionally, growers dumping fertilizer and pesticides into the lowered waters have likely created a toxic algae bloom in the rivers. This threatens the Coho salmon that live in the waters and pollutes the watershed. The diesel fuel, human waste, pesticides, fertilizers and poisons from pot farming are also seeping into the watershed, resulting in a terrible impact on the environment. Rodenticides used to keep rats out of the crops are suspected to have killed many other animals in the area, including the rare Pacific fisher.
The California pot industry is unregulated, which means that farmers work with no oversight, and the fact that marijuana is still illegal under federal law means that most growers work under the radar. The result is a system that has grown largely without direction and without safeguards in place to protect fragile resources. Scientists caution that the damage to the environment would be the same with almost any unregulated crop and isn't directly related to marijuana specifically, but that oversight is necessary to control the impact to the environment.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (May 9, 2006) - Buccaneer head baseball coach Tony Skole announced Tuesday afternoon that senior ace Jeremy Hall (Gray, Tenn.) has been lost indefinitely due to an eye injury sustained in a household accident.
"This is a terrible blow at the end of our team's season," said Skole. "Jeremy has been such a huge part of our program's success the last four years, and we clearly regret that this has happened. Beyond the impact this has on our team, we are obviously most concerned for Jeremy's well-being. Fortunately, we expect him to make a full recovery, and hope to see him pitching in an ETSU uniform again soon."
Hall is 5-1 in his senior campaign with a 5.48 ERA and 84 strikeouts in 90.1 innings pitched. For his career, the right-hander ranks second all-time at ETSU in wins (24), games started (57), innings pitched (354.0) and strikeouts (261).
"We feel terribly for Jeremy," said ETSU Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Dave Mullins. "Jeremy has had four great seasons, and our thoughts and prayers are with him for a speedy and full recovery, so that he may continue his tremendous career."
The Bucs (26-21, 12-12 A-Sun) are back in action Wednesday evening with a non-conference match-up against Tennessee Tech. First pitch is scheduled for eastern time from
