The 2013 Congress of Delegates went to bat for the future of family medicine Sept. 24, adopting one resolution intended to help bolster the primary care workforce by shoring up the physician pipeline and calling for further study of another. A third measure seeking to survey family medicine residents about their medical school experience also was adopted.
Kansas alternate delegate Michael Kennedy, M.D., dean for rural health education at the University of Kansas, tells reference committee members that only about 5 percent of internal medicine residents and 11 percent of pediatrics residents that graduate from his program actually end up practicing primary care.
Although it seems clear that the number of primary care physicians medical schools indicate they're producing does not line up with the actual number who end up in primary care practice, it can be difficult to discern why. One resolution discussed during the Sept. 23 hearing of the AAFP Reference Committee on Education sought to address that problem by tying graduate medical education (GME) reimbursement and medical school accreditation to a minimum percentage of graduates selecting primary care.
Minnesota delegate Lynne Marie Lillie, M.D., of Woodbury, testified in favor of the resolution.
"As the funding for graduate medical education is going to become a very significant issue for America going forward with the (Patient Protection and) Affordable Care Act, simply increasing funding for primary care internal medicine residencies that only put 5 percent of their residents into primary care won't meet the big picture goal that we're trying to obtain," she said.
Story highlights
- The Congress of Delegates considered a trio of workforce pipeline resolutions debated before the Reference Committee on Education, adopting two of them and referring the third.
- Delegates also adopted a substitute resolution supporting increased training about intrauterine devices, as well as a resolution recognizing the merits of the Comprehensive Advanced Life Support course.
- Delegates voted down a measure intended to give physicians the choice to opt out of providing demographic information currently required to take the American Board of Family Medicine board exam.
Although he agreed with the spirit of the resolution, said Missouri delegate Lawrence Rues, M.D., of Kansas City, he acknowledged he was uncomfortable with accreditation being part of the package.
The AAFP can't force the accreditation issue, which is the purview of the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, he said. "I would, however, say (to schools), 'Good, do your own thing, but you're not going to get as much money.'
"The public needs primary care … and as ([then] AAFP President) Jeff Cain said, we need to prioritize GME funding to the needs of the public, because that's going to move things."
The resolution eventually was referred to the AAFP Board of Directors to work out details and coordinate with the AAFP's current advocacy efforts in regard to GME funding.
The reference committee also heard extensive testimony in support of a resolution asking the AAFP to request that
- the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) define primary care residencies as those that offer a family medicine, primary care internal medicine, primary care pediatrics, or combined internal medicine/pediatrics focus when reporting statistics;
- all U.S. medical schools annually report the number and percentage of graduating students selecting primary care residencies as defined in the resolution; and
- all U.S. medical schools report the number and percentage of alumni practicing primary care five years after graduation.
New Hampshire delegate Paula Leonard-Schwartz, M.D., of Manchester, expressed her dismay regarding what she called a misrepresentation of the numbers of medical school graduates going into primary care. "The statistics are used to overrepresent the numbers of physicians that actually stay in primary care," she said.
"Medical schools should be able to track their alumni and report who has stayed in the primary care field. Shining a light on medical schools by asking them to provide this information is one way to get them to be more truthful in their reporting."
Kansas alternate delegate Michael Kennedy, M.D., of Kansas City, who also serves as the associate dean for rural health education at the University of Kansas, also spoke in support of the resolution.
"When you compare how successful we are at getting people into family medicine and then we have to compare those (figures) to other schools that predominantly put people in internal medicine and pediatric residencies, the numbers are skewed," he said. "Regarding our (internal medicine residents), about 5 percent stay in general medicine (11 percent for pediatric residents) and the rest go into (sub)specialty (fields), so I strongly support this and standardizing this definition."
In addition, delegates approved a resolution directing the AAFP to survey new family medicine residents, looking for details on the feedback they received -- positive and negative -- regarding their choice to become family physicians. The resolution also asked the Academy to "work with medical schools to encourage educational environments more supportive of students' choice of family medicine." In its recommendation to adopt the measure, the reference committee acknowledged that objective data about "the hidden curriculum" that discourages students from entering family medicine are lacking.
California alternate delegate Jeffrey Luther, M.D., testifies that intrauterine devices are a safe, effective and low-cost means of contraception.
More Training in IUD Use, Advanced Life Support
Delegates also adopted substitute resolutions supporting increased education about intrauterine devices (IUDs) and recognition of the Comprehensive Advanced Life Support course (CALS), but voted down a measure that sought to give physicians the choice to opt out of providing demographic information currently required to take the American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM) exam.
Noting the overlap in resolutions submitted by California and Texas that support increased IUD use and instruction, the reference committee combined both into a substitute resolution that asked the Academy to support the use of IUDs and other long-acting reversible contraception as first-line contraceptive options and encourage that these tools be promoted as an option for most women. The AAFP is also to encourage U.S. family medicine residency programs to offer core curriculum evidence-based indications and hands-on insertion and removal training for these products, as well as "continuing professional development opportunities regarding intrauterine device eligibility, insertion and removal."
"IUDs are a safe, effective and low-cost means of contraception," California alternate delegate Jeffrey Luther, M.D., of Long Beach, told the reference committee. "According to this Academy, they are considered a core skill of the well-trained family physician. That being said, surveys indicate that as few as 39 percent of practicing family physicians provide IUD services to their patients compared to 89 percent of obstetricians and gynecologists."
Luther pointed out that those percentages may be attributable to family physicians holding on to misconceptions regarding the contraindications and risks associated with IUDs.
"They may be using somewhat dated criteria for determining which patients would or would not benefit from the use of an IUD," said Luther. "One way or another, I think improved training in this area for both our practicing physicians and our residents in training would go a long way to redressing this issue."
The debate on the CALS course centered on a single aspect of the original resolution's language, with the reference committee offering a substitute measure that the AAFP "recognize" rather than "endorse" the tool as "an appropriate advanced life support course for the purpose of improving rural emergency medical care." On the floor of the Congress, delegates then added a clause directing that the CALS curriculum be referred for review by both the Special Interest Group in Emergency Medicine (SIG-EM) and the Working Group on Rural Health to assess its appropriateness to serve as an alternative to Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) for state trauma designation.
"Our purpose in (adding the SIG-EM portion of the resolution) is to make sure that this is going to be a place where people can get training that is a more comprehensive alternative than ATLS in rural settings," said Minnesota delegate Carol Featherstone, M.D., of New Hope.
Special constituency delegate Jennifer Bacani McKenney, M.D., says the benefits gleaned from data gathered in a demographic survey attached to the American Board of Family Medicine exam outweigh the privacy risks.
Demographic Data Over Privacy Concerns
With regard to the resolution targeting the demographic survey attached to the ABFM board exam, Michigan delegate Robert Reneker Jr., M.D., of Wyoming, said that although he is aware the data are important to the ABFM -- and board certification is keenly important to family physicians -- physician privacy should weigh out.
"Try getting credentialed by an insurance company without board certification," said Reneker. "Try getting … admitting privileges to a hospital; it just does not happen. You have to give how much you make and all sorts of other (information) about your practice in order to take the board exam. Well, I'm sorry; they don't have a right to that."
Special constituency delegate Jennifer Bacani McKenney, M.D., of Fredonia, Kan., disagreed, siding with the reference committee's position that the benefits gleaned from the data gathered outweigh the privacy risks.
"We feel that the demographic information collected from the questions asked during the board exam is beneficial in making sure that this exam is not biased towards any population of family physicians that may be taking it," she said.
"We talk a lot about health care disparities and how we can find a solution to this issue, but the trouble is that we often do not have the information to be able to find those solutions. In this case, we are able to collect data that can help us to make sure there is no bias to the family physicians trying to become certified."

text: Spanish supporters saw their team lose against Chile at Maracana stadium in Rio de Janeiro with 2-0 [EPA]Spanish newspapers mourned the end of the country's football dynasty after the champions' stunning exit from the World Cup in Brazil though front pages on Thursday were more focused on a new reign - of King Felipe VI. Champions Spain lost 2-0 to Chile on Wednesday, their glory days consigned to history books on the same day that King Juan Carlos signed his abdication papers, handing over to his heir Felipe who will be sworn in on Thursday. Spain's main newspapers, which had splashed headlines about the team's shock 5-1 demolition to the Netherlands last week across their front pages, bemoaned the second 'debacle' but mostly relegated the news to inside pages on Thursday. "The Spanish soccer team that has been the most deserving of a royal farewell ended its fairy tail in an atrocious way, in a world fiasco," Spain's leading newspaper El Pais said. The undisputed kings of global football in the last six years, Spain won the 2008 and 2012 European Championships and their first World Cup in South Africa. But their supremacy is no more and an ageing team needs to be rebuilt. "Crash! The end of a unique generation," sports newspaper Marca said. Spain became the third champions in the last four World Cups to be eliminated at the first hurdle and their departure will almost certainly end the long international careers of their greats Xavi, Iker Casillas and Xabi Alonso. "It was nice while it lasted," sports newspaper AS said. SOURCE: Reuters Human Rights Arts & Culture Sport Football Latin America

VATICAN CITY — Whenever he's in a crowd, Pope Francis kisses lots of children. The father of one special boy, who got a special kiss and embrace on Easter, has written a blog about the embrace and its meaning.
The boy, Dominic Gondreau, has cerebal palsy. He is spending several months in Rome with his parents and four siblings while his father, a professor of theology at Dominican-run Providence College in Providence, R.I., serves as faculty resident director for students studying in Rome.
The dad, Paul Gondreau, said his son "has already shared in Christ's cross more than I have throughout my entire life multiplied a thousand times over."
And while Dominic's parents help him walk, stretch his muscles, wheel him around and care for him in every way, dad says, "He shows me how to love."
"We were all moved to tears" by the pope's embrace of Dominic, he said.
In an interview with CNN, Dominic's mother, Christiana, described the moment as being "like a little kiss from God."
Our friends at Salt and Light Television, the Catholic channel in Canada, have included the moment in their video, about 10 minutes and 30 seconds into the piece.

Let's be honest: voting in California can be kind of overwhelming.
Along with having to decide on a president, a senator, state and local officials, and local ballot measures, California voters were also faced with no less than eleven statewide propositions this election. Of these, five passed.
The map below shows which counties supported what (counties in green voted Yes, those in red voted No). The voting patterns emphasize the fairly sharp political divide between more liberal counties in and around the Bay Area, Los Angeles and along the coast, and the far more conservative counties of the Central Valley.

Ron Rychlak '80 will present a noon, Tuesday talk on misunderstandings about the relationship of the Holocaust to Christianity. He is Professor of Law and Associate Dean at the University of Mississippi.
Rychlak will present "The Holocaust and the Catholic Church: The Case of Piux XII" at noon, Tuesday in Baxter 101. Pizza will be provided. He will speak again at 4:15 p.m. Tuesday in Center 216.
Rychlak is an accomplished author having written or co-authored seven books, including Hitler, the War and the Pope. He writes regularly for InsideCatholic.com. He also ia a panelist fo the Washinton Post's "On Religion" page.
Although the Nazis were a pagan movement based on a bastardized version of Darwinism then prevalent in Germany (racial struggle as the means of human development), some people continue to use the Holocaust as way of criticizing Christianity," wrote Professor of Religion Stephen Webb in announcing Rychlak's visit. "Indeed, those who are not experts in the field have been known to label the Gospels as anti-Semitic, even though the proper term is anti-Judaic, since most of the early Christians were Jewish and much of the Christian critique of Judaism reflected an internal struggle within Judaism about its future.

Quick Change: Lea Michele
THE DOSSIER: NAME: Lea Michele. TRADE: Actress, Glee. VIBE: Cozy Californian. ABODE: West Hollywood bungalow, CA.
When our editor-at-large, interior designer and fashion stylist Estee Stanley, convinced close friend and client Lea Michele to submit her new place to a Domaine-style makeover, the stakes could not have been higher. "You know this could be the end of our relationship, right?" the actress asked Stanley, only half kidding. We agreed to an against-all-odds timeline: four hours to move nearly all of Michele's possessions into temporary storage, unload a bungalow's worth of shopping, style the selections, and have everything ready for an unveiling at 1:30 p.m., in time for her homecoming.
CASING THE JOINT Like any covert-op worth its truckload of rugs from Lawrence of La Brea (as the case happened to be), Stanley and Domaine editorial director Mat Sanders came prepared, having hit Brenda Antin, Nathan Turner, Lucca Antiques and Pat McGann in the La Cienega Design Quarter earlier in the week, and snapped up tableware from West Elm and Table Art. "The only direction she gave me was that she wanted it to be cozy," Stanley says of the jumping off point. "And not to touch Barbra." (Michele has curated a small photo collection dedicated to the Funny Girl diva.)
MOVING IN Streisand oath taken, the mission began in the living room, where an invitingly deep Brenda Antin couch upholstered in French linen satisfied Michele's request for comfort. An English library cabinet from Nathan Turner was brought in as the room's focal point, with a pair of rattan chairs placed on either side of the tiled fireplace, and a duo of vintage rug upholstered chairs from Nickey Kehoe set behind the custom oak topped metal coffee table. The chair-dense configuration was intended to coin a salon vibe. "It's a room for sitting and conversing," Sanders says. Michele's own coffee table books--Charlotte Mullin's Painting People and another starring you-know-who--personalize the space.
A NEW YORK MINUTE In the entryway Stanley paid homage to Michele's native Manhattan with a traditional wingback chair upholstered in weathered black leather and updated with a linen cushion. The actress' own equestrian-themed giclée print hangs over an indoor garden themed vignette, with a muted Persian rug providing a family heirloom-feeling backdrop. "I'm definitely feminine, but at the same time I don't want my house to be overtly so," says Michele. "I wanted it to have touches of masculinity, and that chair is a nice balance." Around the corner, a decidedly ladylike writing desk hosts the star's SAG and People's Choice Awards. "I call it my Bradshaw," she confesses.
GOOD THINGS COME IN SMALL FLOORPLANS Opting to keep Michele's Restoration Hardware steel and reclaimed elm dining table along with a trio of industrial dining room chairs, the team added a one-of-a-kind French Baroque-inspired blue velvet settee to the mix. "Especially in smaller houses, you need something original and funky, to give it that flavor," says Stanley. "People tend to get scared and want to leave it at one or two pieces, but really you need to do the opposite to create that homey-ness."
THE REVEAL "No sooner did we wipe the dust off the edge of the entry table and the last mover was out the door than we heard the gate open and saw Michele's little Prius coming up the drive," Sanders says, describing the scene as a Price is Right moment. "She squealed and sort of almost cried," Stanley agrees. "I think she was shocked that she loved it." Ask Michele however, and she insists: "I always had the utmost faith!" Whether or not she'd swear to it on Babs is another story.

The 'Non-Partisan' Political Leader
Washington had developed his politcal prestige in terms of the union which his initial election had suggested, and for which it had provided a hope for the survival of the nation. Times were tense, and the "United" of the United States was by no means a foregone conclusion. It had been his presence in the first place which had provided the Constitutional Convention with much-needed validation, and it was Washington as a leader that was foremost in people's minds in deciding whether or not they would ratify the Constitution. A main point of dispute was what Hamilton called in a few sections of the Federalist the "energy" of the presidency, a planned strength for the executive office which would help counteract the serious problems encountered under the Articles of Confederation, where (as this time Madison puts it) the "legislative vortex" threatens to draw all governmental power into itself, where the legislative branch could issue any number of laws for the most provincial of reasons (each representative with too close a tie to the interests of his constituency), and effect unchallenged such disastrous measures as the over-issuing of "paper money." The new nation's anti-monarchical sentiments had perhaps gone too far; the new presidency, it was argued, would help remedy this problem. Washington, it was implied, or perhaps assumed, would define this new presidency.
What had begun as delicate business could only have heightened in Washington his own self-image, and impressed upon him the crucial standing it had in maintaining a functional Union. As Richard Hofstadter writes in The Idea of A Party System, it was this self-conception that first played itself out in the role of political mediator among members of his own cabinet, "urging mutual forbearance" between Jefferson and Hamilton. But as time went on, opposition itself became his target, so that while he perpetuated his own role (and so, the policies he supported) as impartial, those who disagreed were somehow considered outside the legitimate sphere of the politcal process. For example, "when the Jay Treaty was at stake, he angrily charged that the opposition to it was the work of a party, without seeming to realize that its supporters also constituted a party" (Hofstadter, p.91).
In a period when the Republican party was attempting to clarify itself against the Hamiltonian Federalist administration, Washington became a dangerous subterfuge. In espousing his own probably earnest sentiments about the danger to the Union that forms of opposition presented, he was only projecting his own image as a man above parties, as a figure who dwelled in an a priori realm of 'nation,' where presumably the contention of ideas, interests, and agendas that marked a politcal system had no place in 'true' government. It was a sentiment people have found easy enough to believe both then and in later periods (John Quincy Adams is a notable example), and as such explains Hamilton's description of Washington as "'an Aegis very essential to me'" (Hofstadter, p.99). The Republicans, meanwhile, found themselves embattled, and at times, damned by Washington's rhetoric. The Whiskey Rebellion of 1794 led Washington to condemn the Democratic Societies, "political clubs" which often served as "pressure groups on particular issues," and which did so as kind of a "left wing" to the Republican party. By attacking them as "'self-created societies,'" Washington seemed to censure all opposition as a form of rebellion, where "insurrection and sedition were fostered by the Democratic Societies, and these societies in turn by the Republicans" (Hofstadter, pp. 92, 94).
With the tension of political strife so dominant during his second term of office, and his symbolic power as a figure of unity more important than ever--both in his own mind and, for somewhat different reasons, in the minds of Federalists such as Hamilton--his Farewell Address thus becomes a kind of sermon against "the baneful effects of the Spirit of Party generally." And to underscore the interest of the Federalists in such a speech, it should be emphasized that "the central passage warning against parties was drafted by Hamilton" (Hofstadter, p.96), where text is given sub-text: with the election on the heels of such a message, wouldn't then it be safer to stick with a good 'non-partisan' figure such as the current Vice-President (and Federalist), John Adams? As Van Buren tells it, Republican opposition had already been framed in terms of an attack on the administration, which is to say an attack on Washington himself. But then, "it would have been strange if ... the dominant party should have refrained from aspersing the motives of their opponents by attributing to them personal hostility to a chief so justly beloved by the people as was Washington" (Van Buren, p.182).

A coffee table does a lot of work. It needs to hold books, magazines, drinks, food — even games on game night. You might want to put your feet up on it, or the kids might need a place for coloring. Plus it's usually smack dab in the middle of the room, where you can't miss it — so make sure it's a good one. Sculptural wood coffee tables tell their own story and can add a natural element and warmth to a room with multiple upholstered pieces.
Sealers and, of course, coasters can help protect the surface from water damage. Sometimes a coffee table that isn't the standard height or width is exactly what a room needs. In this instance a very low coffee table creates a crisp horizontal plane in the foreground, offsetting the long horizontal line of the credenza in the background. A higher table would have blocked the view of the credenza and competed with it; the varying heights add interest.
Coffee tables are frequently the central focus of a living area and therefore have a tremendous impact on a rooms decor and ambiance. A wise choice can create a feeling of style and harmony whilst a poor choice can make a room look disordered and can overwhelm the other furniture, making the room look smaller and feel less unified. The choices that you make regarding the size, shape, cost, material and style of the coffee table are thus vitally important to making your living room a welcoming space and setting the tone that you desire for your home.
Before beginning your search for the perfect coffee table you should therefore work out what it is that you want from it. Do you want it to be purely ornamental- to create a modern and stylish statement, or are you more interested in its functions- do you plan to eat from it, place drinks on it, store magazines in it or use it as a display cabinet? You also need to consider the cost of any piece that you plan to purchase. It is often a good idea to set a maximum budget before you begin your search. This should prevent you from even considering purchases that you may later regret. Coffee tables can be bought as cheaply as twenty dollars, however they can also cost in the thousands. It is a good idea to have an idea of your budget so that you do not fall in love with a table that is far out of your reach.

The numbers virtually jump off the Minneapolis Novas' statistical page: Five consecutive games with 10 or more goals, a total of fifty-six goals while giving up only three.
In their last five games back to Jan. 7, the Novas -- the lone high school boys' hockey program in the Minneapolis Conference -- have beaten North Branch 11-0, Richfield 10-2, Moose Lake 12-0, Becker/Big Lake 13-1 and Mora/Hinckley-Finlayson 10-0.
"We have a senior-heavy team with a few kids who have a scorer's touch," said first-year coach Joe Dziedzic, a Minneapolis Edison product. "We're starting to jell, starting to gain a little confidence and that's led to some puck luck, some bounces going our way."
After a 4-3-1 start, Minneapolis is now 13-3-1, an improvement that has Dziedzic feeling positive about the program's future.
"We're trying to rebuild Minneapolis hockey," said Dziedzic, who has been assisted by former Minneapolis Southwest star Tom Chorske, the 1985 Mr. Hockey winner. "It won't happen overnight, but we're two city kids who took the challenge of trying to show kids that we're serious about making this a competitive program."

The Alteil Horizons Kickstarter is back up!
Welcome back everyone, to the new and very much improved Alteil Horizons Kickstarter! Thanks to your suggestions, emails and posts, we've been able to create a great balance of information, rewards and goals. Without further ado, here's the link…
Now, let me take a moment and show off some of the highlights. The first thing you might notice is the upgraded reward levels. Every level has a little something extra, and a few have gotten some big improvements. Go check out your old reward level, and you'll spot a nice surprise!
Early Birds, easily the most talked about part of our previous Kickstarter, are back. This time, the $99 version has been lowered to $95, so we can have three $95 levels. This is no accident! The idea is that you've got the Early Bird level, then the Kinda Early Bird (previously the $99 level), and the last one is for returning users (the First Kickstarter Early Bird). It counts as an Early Bird if you're on the first Kickstarter's Early Bird list, and a Kinda Early Bird if you're not. In this way, returning Early Birds won't get in the way of new ones!
We've also expanded on the Premium Accounts, and will continue to do so as Stretch Goals are unlocked. You can read about it on the Rewards Details page here. http://glossary.apocoplay.com/
Also, keep in mind that the delivery date on the reward levels is the estimated date for the item on the list that will take the longest. The majority of the rewards will come much earlier. You can read more info on the rewards details page above.
We've streamlined the page based on backer suggestions, and will be adding updates that will give you a behind-the-scenes look at Alteil Horizons, more strategy discussions, and more videos. We've also got a new series of details pages for those of you who want to know as much as you can. There's a lot of great info there, so take your time and poke around! http://glossary.apocoplay.com/ks/About.html
Keep an eye out, we'll be releasing a backer's only post about the pre-Alpha in the next few days. We'll get you all something to play real soon so you can take the new engine for a spin!
Okay, that's enough talk for now. Get out there and check out the new Alteil Horizons Kickstarter page! And remember, early momentum is what will get new backers, so if you can renew your pledge in the first few days it will have a huge impact on the success of the Kickstarter!
Thank you all,

Wally announces new 'floating island' gigayacht: the WallyIslandView gallery - 20 images
Little more than a decade after beginning in business, Monaco-based Wally Yachts continues to develop innovative concepts and minimalist luxury at a rate exceeding any other marine design house on the planet. The company's latest is the WallyIsland - a 99 meter (325 feet) "gigayacht" that dwarfs the vast majority of luxury megayachts and reconceives the yacht as a floating personal island, a mobile address that can be used as a home, an entertaining space or even a moving exhibition or show space.
In decades gone by, a 180-foot personal superyacht was enough to establish yourself as a seriously wealthy owner - but over the last ten years, in the spirit of excess, the megayacht emerged, at over 220 feet long. And when the ostentatious mega-rich start competing, enormous isn't nearly big enough. Over the last ten years, several yachts have been built over the 320-foot mark.
WallyIsland isn't the first of this new breed of luxury gigayachts - nor is it the largest. Paul Allen's Octopus, for example is a 410-foot monster built by Lürssen, and the Sheikh of Dubai (where else?) currently owns the world's largest luxury motoryacht at a staggering 525 feet long. A 405-footer by Frank Mulder was even auctioned off recently on eBay. WallyIsland, though, does have some unique features.
WallyIsland looks more like a tanker than its gigayacht brethren, due to the huge 1000m2 main deck area and the fact that is has only three upper-level decks rather than the multilevel arrangements typical on others. It's designed this way to increase open entertaining space and allow large garden spaces, and this sort of design also keeps the cost of the yacht "competitive," although we'd shudder to imagine what "competitive" means in this kind of endeavour. Wally claims it's roughly in line with what you'd pay for a traditional design 200-footer.
The WallyIsland's main deck can include a large, deep swimming pool, garden spaces, tennis or mini soccer grounds, as well as the requisite helipads. It includes sleeping quarters for up to 40 crew and 24 guests as well as the extravagant owner's suites. It holds around three-quarters of a million litres of fuel, so you'd probably want to fill it up before the public holiday petrol price jump, and the aft deck holds two 45-foot WallyPower tender yachts, as well as space for several other yachts and watertoys on board.
The interiors feature a main saloon, living/dining room; guest accommodation, library, cinema, spa, wellness and fitness area; service and crew area; and the steering/navigation area.

The United States is one of the most diverse countries on earth, jam packed full of amazing sights from St. Patrick's cathedral in New York to Mount Hollywood California.The Northeast region is where it all started. Thirteen British colonies fought the American Revolution from here and won their independence in the first successful colonial rebellion in history. Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast. Here's a cemetery in Georgia where you can find graves of soldiers from the Civil War.The West Coast is sort of like another country that exists to make the east coast jealous. California is full of nothing but grizzly old miners digging for gold, a few gangster rappers, and then actors. That is to say, the West Coast functions as the imagination of the US, like a weird little brother who teases everybody then gets famous for making freaky art.The central part of the country is flat farmland all the way over to the Rocky Mountains. Up in the northwest corner you can find creative people in places like Portland and Seattle, along with awesome snowboarding and good beer. Text by Steve Smith.

Recalling dreams
The recall of dreams is extremely unreliable, though it is a skill that can be trained. Dreams can usually be recalled if a person is awakened while dreaming.[42] Women tend to have more frequent dream recall than men.[42] Dreams that are difficult to recall may be characterized by relatively little affect, and factors such as salience, arousal, and interference play a role in dream recall. Often, a dream may be recalled upon viewing or hearing a random trigger or stimulus. A dream journal can be used to assist dream recall, for psychotherapy or entertainment purposes. For some people, vague images or sensations from the previous night's dreams are sometimes spontaneously experienced in falling asleep. However they are usually too slight and fleeting to allow dream recall. At least 95% of all dreams are not remembered. Certain brain chemicals necessary for converting short-term memories into long-term ones are suppressed during REM sleep. Unless a dream is particularly vivid and you wake during or immediately after it, the content of the dream will not be remembered.

With the weather getting warmer, it's time to get back outside and reconnect with the wildlife—and no place will let you get closer to the wildest of wild things than Lujan Zoo in Argentina. Located just outside Buenos Aires, Lujan Zoo provides zoogoers the opportunity to bottle feed a bear, cuddle a tiger, or rub noses with a lion, and, if these pictures are accurate, walk away un-mauled. While many visitors assert the animals are clearly drugged, the zoo insists the tameness is entirely natural, a product of raising each cub from birth and teaching them to be calm, permissive, and uninterested in eating humans. Since opening in 1994, there have been no reports of unexpected predation, but whether that perfect record is due to good training, luck, or bribery of authorities is hotly debated. Check out this extreme petting zoo below, and remember, the Lujan Zoo is one of the only places in the world where you can pet wild animals, an extremely dangerous activity that you should not take lightly and should never try outside the confines of such facilities.
The zoo says that, in addition to training, keeping the animals constantly fed helps to maintain calm passivity. Image by Zoo De Lujan Con Las Superguias
Lujan Zoo received these brown bears when they were just two months old. Now full grown, the zoo assures they still enjoy bottle feeding, or eating food offered directly from visitors' mouths. Image by Zoo De Lujan Con Las Superguias
Even tigers need belly rubs. Lujan Zoo currently holds more than 60 of these stripy felines. Image by Zoo De Lujan Con Las Superguias
Lions were part of the inaugural menagerie when the park opened in 1994, along with a monkey, two donkeys, two ponies, llama, deer, and some peacocks. Image by Zoo De Lujan Con Las Superguias
Even though visitors go cheek to whisker with big cats daily, Lujan Zoo has reportedly never had an accident. (While the observant may notice the scratches on this woman's side, it is unknown where they came from.) Image by Zoo De Lujan Con Las Superguias
Not all residents are furry. Lujan Zoo hosts two female elephants in addition to a wide variety of reptiles and birds. Image by Zoo De Lujan Con Las Superguias
If you're not one to trust a tiger, Lujan Zoo does offer tamer fare, such as camel and pony rides. Image by A. Pereira

"Superior Donuts" (2008) written by Tracy Letts and directed by Jane Toczek, is now running at Stagecrafters Theater, 8130 Germantown Ave. Letts won both the Tony and Pulitzer prizes for his previous work "August: Osage County," a dysfunctional family drama set in his boyhood Oklahoma. (A star-studded movie version just premiered in Toronto.)
With "Superior Donuts" playwright Letts goes off in a larger direction and takes on the idea of "The American Dream." Set in Arthur Przybyszewski's "Superior Donuts" store in the Uptown section of Chicago, the play offers a brilliant glimpse of the old blue-collar neighborhood through the glass window of the side door (fine set design by Scott Killinger).
The residents of Uptown struggle in dealing with the area's burgeoning ethnic diversity and the forces of gentrification, represented by the new Starbucks store that threatens Arthur's humble coffee shop. Yet Arthur retains a loyal coterie of old customers.
Two police officers, James (Kyle Paul Dandridge) and Randy (Catherine Pappas), are regulars. Max (T.J. Deluca) and his nephew, Kiril (Greg Pronko), are ambitious Russian immigrants who want to expand their small CD store. And a doddering, hard-drinking Irish woman, Lady Boyle (Marilyn Leah), stops in each morning.
Colorful as his regulars are, they cannot stir Arthur to take an interest in his own life. With his sluggish demeanor, John Devennie as Arthur is a picture of depression. A draft evader (not a resister) from the Vietnam era, he dribbles out his long history of evasions and failures in a series of soliloquies (light design, Gilbert Todd).
Everything changes when Franco bounces into the coffee shop to demand employment. He is everything Arthur is not — young, African-American and full of energy. Played by Devin Oliver, Franco is like a stand-up comedian trying to get a rise out of the reluctant Arthur. It is a standard odd couple scenario.
But matters turn serious when Luther (M. Yamin Yurcaba) and Kevin (Patrick Martin) show up, a couple of gangsters from Franco's own troubled past. It is Franco who now needs saving, giving Arthur the chance to face down old demons and revive his life. Action picks up, including a pretty good fight scene (fight choreographer Terri McIntyre).
I liked "Superior Donuts" but at the same time thought it was missing something at the writing or production level; I am not sure. Playwright Letts may not be ready for what he is trying to do here. Thematically, "Superior Donuts" is more ambitious than his earlier work, but it lacks dramatic pace, and the ideas behind the play seem to trump its theatrical intensity.
Even so, very little contemporary theater attempts the thematic scope of "Superior Donuts." You wind up admiring Uptown, Chicago, and leave the theater feeling that Uptown (more largely, America) is a land of manageable suffering where, after all the pushing and shoving, everyone can muscle in and find a place at the table.
"Superior Donuts" will run through Sept. 29. Reservations available at 215-247-9913.

August 2012: Career Moves In The Music Industry
Corporate America may be tightening its belt in this tough economy that we all love to hate, but it hasn't prevented some interesting executive hirings and promotions in the music industry this month, including from the Country Radio Seminar, Sunset Island Music Management, Primary Wave Music, Secret Road Music Services, HFA, Georgia Music Association and Island Def Jam Motown.
Most recently, Country Radio Seminar hired Bradford Hollingsworth as one of two Directors of Brand Marketing and Strategic Partnerships, joining Michelle Tigard Kammerer in that capacity. Hollingsworth is a former account executive with the Nashville Predators, and held a similar marketing and sponsorship post with the Detroit Pistons. Hollingsworth will hit the ground running in preparation for CRS 2013, which will be held in downtown Nashville on February 27 – March 1, 2013.
Sunset Island Music named the legendary Ron Eckerman as its CEO. The announcement was made on August 27th by President Michael Della Donna. Eckerman's expertise is in artist management, and he worked with the southern rock band Lynard Skynard, helping to propel them to stardom. Eckerman was also instrumental in the success of Fleetwood Mac, Foreigner, 38 Special, and Peter Frampton.
Stephen Hutton, founder of Uppercut Management, will be joining the Talent Management Division of Primary Wave Music, as they continue their push in that area. Primary Wave Music recently opened a new office in the UK, headed by Clive Black, and brought in Electronic Dance Music expert Hosh Gurrell to lead the company in that genre, which is experiencing a huge surge in popularity. Hutton will concentrate on rock music, discovering and signing new and established talent. He will continue to maintain the roster of artists with whom he currently works.
Music executive Joshua Sarubin is the new head of A&R/Publishing for Secret Road Music Services, a leading music licensing, publishing, and management company. "Sarubin's A&R experience includes stints at Columbia, Arista and Island Def Jam. Most recently he served as Vice President of A&R at Sony ATV Music Publishing. Among the acts he has signed or worked with are Avril Lavigne, Pink, Santana, Presidents of the United States of America, Lionel Richie and Lady Gaga."
Lisa Robinson, who came to Harry Fox Agency from EMI Publishing in 2007, has been promoted to Director of Collections and Income Tracking. Robinson was previously a manager in Income Tracking. In her new role, she will lead the two departments, which have been merged, "to ensure the successful tracking and processing of all in-bound royalties and service fees."
After a 30 year career in Nashville, Tom Long returned to his hometown of Kennesaw, Georgia, where he has been elected as president of the Georgia Music Industry Association. Long co-founded the Atlanta Songwriter's association, which eventually became GMIA, in 1986.
At the beginning of the month, Ivan Gavin, COO of East Coast Labels, announced that Matt Voss had been promoted to Executive Vice President of International for Island Def Jam Motown and Universal Republic. Voss will be responsible for artists internationally with respect to marketing, publicity, and promotion. Some of the prestigious global artist campaigns he has worked on include Rihanna, Bon Jovi, Justin Bieber, Ne-Yo, Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, Of Monsters and Men, The Killers, Lil Wayne, and Jessie J.

Peace of Mind Pet Trust (POMPT) wants your pet on their Facebook page, and they'll award the first 50 submissions with 50% off a pet trust ($45 value). POMPT is spreading the word that humans need to Ensure the Future for their pets, because if they don't, who else will? A pet trust provides for a pet should an owner become incapacitated.
Each year more than 600,000 healthy pets follow their deceased owners to an early grave because no written order was left to provide for their future. POMPT was founded to help pet owners take advantage new state laws that allow for the establishment of trusts specifically for pets.
Approximately 67% of US citizens don't leave a will that would have transferred their assets to their loved ones. Without a will or a trust, a state's Probate Act will control the distribution of an individual's assets. The problem is not all states recognize "pets" as anything other than personal property, to be discarded like a lamp at a rummage sale if no one steps forth to claim it.
For their facebook page, go here
"The state probate act controls the disposition of an animal if owner doesn't leave a written legal document protecting their beloved pet. New state pet trust laws have introduced opportunities for pet owners to easily create protective documentation to set aside funds for their pet to continue to exist in the manner that their owners would have preferred; in other words: alive," says attorney Peter Canalia, founder of PMOPT.
There are two types of trusts available from Peace of Mind Pet Trust: the traditional pet trust, which is valid in all states; and the statutory pet trust, which derives its authority from a statute, also known as the law, in the state in which an owner resides. POMPT provides an owner an affordable, understandable, easy to use method for making sure their pets are protected for the rest of their natural lives.

Stuart "Ellesmere" decanter queries
April 28, 2014, 04:06:02 PM »
Faintly acid stamped to base pre-1950 "Stuart / ENGLAND". h. 9" 22.5cm, w 1101g 2lb 6¾oz.
See three images with click main image to enlarge feature at
Benson/Hayhurst tells us that the Ellesmere design was by Ludwig Kny, unsurprisingly as it incorporates Kny's outlined mitre cuts. Most examples of Ellesmere such as stemmed glasses and footed items have a narrow base, so only room for one slanting outlined mitre cut between each fern. Here, with a broader base, two have been incorporated between each fern, in turn separated by a simple apostrophe.
Benson/Hayhurst tells us (p14) 1940s-50s, but Kny left Stuart in 1937, and Benson/Hayhurst notes that it was in the 1964 catalogue, so the production time span must be larger. Anyone know?
The stopper is not the style regularly seen with Ellesmere decanters. All those I could find have what I think of as a truncated spire shape. Is this squatter full cut star stopper indicative of the decanter's date?
Was this chunky shouldered shape of decanter for a particular drink?
I am particularly pleased with how my third image turned out, clearly showing the stopper number on both parts. Pure luck, I can assure you!

it's an attractive cut design, and as you say those outlined leaf shapes are very much a signature feature of Kny - they are in fact are shown more strikingly on some Stuart/Kny vases in Hajdamach and Jackson (it's exactly the same photograph in both books).
Regret I've not the remotest idea for how long Ellesmere was offered by Stuart, but when you think of the longevity of other Stuart cut patterns such as 'Beaconsfield', 'Stratford Rings' and 'Woodchester', then 'Ellesmere may have had a longish life. Maybe not as long as some though - perhaps the cutting of curved mitres wasn't cost effective - Miller's doesn't give a date post 1950's for this pattern. Unfortunately, I've not yet found an example of 'Ellesmere'.
As mentioned by Nigel Benson both Reg Pierce and John Luxton continued using this feature for Stuart, as did David Hammond for T/Webb and it can be seen on pieces from other factories.
I'd suggest unreliable to link a stopper shape to a specific C20 date - there was so much copying of shapes - with the exception perhaps of Continental liqueur and perfume bottles, where stoppers became an art form in their own right.
Stuart in fact offered this precise body shape with an alternative traditional very boring cut design - and on both they linked them with Georgian style mushroom stoppers, as they also did with one or two copies of Georgian shaped bodies. Traditionally shaped decanters (Miller's example of 'Ellesmere' - page 239) probably warranted a tallish stopper for aesthetic reasons.
However, this decanter is more of a deco looking squat shape with the neck emerging out of a flat shoulder, and a tall spire would be out of place.
This piece might be for liqueur or spirits rather than sherry or port.
Again, as pointed out by Nigel, Stuart benefited from some of the 1930's most avant garde designers, and for such pieces tradition was ignored completely and both bodies and stoppers reflected the influence of what was the entirely new art deco fashion, and novelty broke with tradition in many areas.
Stuart produced many wonderful shapes of decanter/stopper during the 1930's.
Am assuming I'm seeing the No. 11 - is that correct??
Sorry this doesn't help, but a very nice bottle.

Paul thanks for your comments. A neighbour who saw it today was sure that the shape is for spirits. He also suggested that the squat rounded shape of the top of the stopper would make it more suitable for and, therefore, easier to sell to tantalus manufacturers. I can certainly visualise three of these in a tantalus with a lockable swinging top.
Does Andy McConnell discuss this in his book?

he does, but unfortunately it would seem that his comments don't favour your suggestion that this one might have been part of a tantalus set Bernard.
Andy McConnell's book devotes two or three pages to the relationship between decanters, stoppers and the tantalus, which was a mid C19 invention - prior to which the Georgians used what they called a decanter frame (bit like an oversized cruet holder). The earlier Georgian 'frame' omitted the all important device which prevented 'surreptitious withdrawal' of the booze, and because of this the frame allowed the use of a variety of stopper shapes and sizes, and the bottles themselves might be round, square, or barrel shaped.
But for obvious reasons, the invention of the tantalus - with its top bar - restricted stopper heights, and most are some variation on the faceted ball type or other squat/square design.
There are, however, some late C19 and early C20 tantalus designs which don't incorporate a top bar, and instead use a system whereby the stopper is locked to the rim of the neck directly - yet even on these it would seem that some sort of faceted ball shaped stopper was used, rather than a spire etc.
But most importantly the answer to your suggestion that this piece might have been produced as suitable for a tantalus, is 'no' it probably wouldn't have been by reason of its shape.
'Square bottles, dating from Roman times, contain the greatest volume in the smallest space' might be one reason for the shape of bottles destined for the tantalus, but the more obvious one would be that flat contiguous surfaces conserve space and allow the tantalus to be of a more compact shape.
But whatever the reason/s all examples of the tantalus in McConnell's book show the bottles to be square (or at least rectangular) in cross section.
That's not to say that stand alone spirit bottles couldn't be round - many were - although individual bottles seem mostly to have been of some truncated shape or at the least slim barrels or pyramids, and not the zillions of other bulbous shapes designed for sherry, port, claret etc.
I'd like to express my debt for most of the above information to Andy McConnell's book - it's a real goldmine of information - not just on decanters - but on much glass history in general.
I'd recommend that you buy a copy Bernard, but don't want to be responsible for your inability to be able to pay the rent for the next six months

Paul Thanks for your detailed comments. However, I've already considered the bottle shape with my neighbour. Ellesmere doesn't work on square or rectangular decanters they have to be round. So an Ellesmere tantalus has to contain round bottles. A tantalus doesn't have to be portable, the prime consideration being to keep the wife, children, mother-in-law, and servants from drinking your expensive single malt.
I am not saying that an Ellesmere tantalus was ever produced, just that the possibility might have been included in the way all their spirit decanters were designed. Suggestions of "But that's the way we always do it..."
Interesting contradiction of two apparently worthy and sensible design considerations.

sorry to hear you're having trouble with the servants, Bernard.
One of the reasons, I believe, that Andy McConnell was going to revise his decanter book, was to increase the content regarding C20 bottles, which presently is rather meagre in comparison with material from preceding centuries.
Whether it'll ever happen I don't know, but would be very useful.

If you look in my part of Yobunny it has a copy of the 1964 catalog. Ellesmere was definitely in there, BUT your Spirit Decanter shape is not shown and I suspect it had stopped being made by then, but quite a lot of Ellesmere shapes are shown.

Does anyone have a picture of a tantalus? I'm having problems imagining one here.

Ross Most useful. Ellesmere is shown with a square decanter, with a ball stopper! I wonder how they adapted the pattern to that shape.
So all the speculation above is really hot air, except, of course, it introduced the tantalus to Carolyn.
Paul while I might buy and sell a tantalus in the course of dealing, I would never use one to its full extent. Just imagine what message you would be giving visitors. Makes me shudder to think.

VANCOUVER — Former Vancouver Canucks captain Markus Naslund is trying to lure centre Sammy Pahlsson back home to Sweden to play for Modo, according to a story on a Swedish website.
Pahlsson, 34, finished this past season as a Canuck after being acquired from the Columbus Blue Jackets at the NHL trading deadline. His contract has expired and he stands to become an unrestricted free agent July 1.
Naslund is Modo's general manager and the team plays in Ornskoldsvik, where Pahlsson has a house near Daniel Sedin's off-season home. According to the story, Naslund "makes no secret" he is interested in Pahlsson's services.
"At present, there is not much to say about my future," Pahlsson was quoting as saying in the translated article. "My family and I are thinking of going home but there is nothing that is clear. There are many pros and cons and it is a big decision to make. My wife and I have been living [in North America] for most of our adult lives. Meanwhile, we have family and friends back home in Sweden."
Pahlsson indicated he would like his future settled soon.
"I have to go past July 1and really I do not want to wait that long," he said. "I want to take a decision before then. We'll see if I do it. If I go home, I play with Modo. There is no other league club."
Pahlsson collected six points in 19 regular-season games with the Canucks and was a plus-4 while centring the team's third line. He had one goal in five playoff games.

After Mullaghash we climbed up from the coll below Barnes Top C642011 A along the fence going S with a touch of E. (For someone wishing to only climb Barnes Top I suggest that the route mentioned at the end of my comments on Mullaghash is used in reverse. ) The going was mostly over heather and tusocky clumps of grass for 1.2k to a fence junction near the top. On the way up we were surprised to find quite a large patch of snow still lingering on the hillside. Once at the fence junction a right and shortly after a left turn took us to the summit H638999 B. As ever one could speculate as to whether or not this was really the top or was it a clump of heather across the fence or elsewhere on the flat but bumpy summit area. From Barnes Top the view N to Mullaghash shows it to be a much more imposing hill than its modest height suggests. From the top we followed the fence NW for about 800 metres with only a shallow dip and climb up to the top of Knockanbane Mt. I enjoyed climbing this hill as part of a round including two other tops but would suggest that it is unlikely to be climbed by many walkers, even peak baggers, for its own sake. The view of Sawel SW across the valley dominates the skyline .

Then its not too far to summit marked naturally by a piece of raised bog. Good view of sawel and surrounding central sperrins with benbradagh to the north and derryveagh mountains to northwest.

I did so in the company of the West Tyrone Ramblers as we climbed high into the Sperrins on a cold winters morning. We started the walk 3 miles outside Park on the road to Feeny (B44) at an old public house, Labelled on OS map. It is 300m up the road from Ballydonegan sweat house which is signposted. We parked here and headed down the road to the small cottage and the signpost for the sweat house. We followed a lane around the right hand side of the house and then turned left on another lane leading down to a river. There is a wooden bridge crossing the river which leads to the sweat house however do not cross it but continue up the lane. After 500m or so you pass some outbuildings on your right, rounding a gate you continue on the track which gradually begins to turn to the left. Then you come to a river, cross it and continue on the path up the hill. You then cross the river again before reaching an iron gate, go through it and continue along the path. Here the path is quite cut up and wet so walking on the bank is the best. You then reach another gate, this time a wooden one go through it, then continue. At this stage the path begins to peter out. At this stage you will notice something sticking up high on the mountain on your right. It appears like a standing stone but is infact a tree. You then begin the climb up the heather to this tree and on up past it until you reach a fence. By this stage you will be ready for a break as the climb up the heather is tiresome. Here you can enjoy great views of Sawel and the surroundings Sperrins. This however is not the true top so you follow the fence line across to the east (watch out for the pools) to reach the top of Barnes Top. There is nothing marking the top of the mountain however a raised piece of appears to be the highest point. I descended via the same route.

I can understand that that Copts may have demands like any other group in Egypt. Also, they have the right to demand and demand big. They may get some and they may not get the rest of their demands. This normal and acceptable.Discriminated against.. More

Tommy Haas needs a fourth operation on his right shoulder and will miss the rest of the tennis season.
The 20th-ranked German retired from his opening match at the French Open last month and withdrew from last week's Gerry Weber Open in Halle to assess the injury.
The 36-year-old player's management company said Monday that Haas has three damaged tendons in his right shoulder, which was operated on in 2002, 2003 and 2007.
Haas says "the diagnosis was a real shock" and surgery "can't be avoided because the injury is very serious."
Haas, once ranked No. 2 in the world, will undergo surgery Tuesday in New York.
He says he has no plans to retire and hopes for a comeback in 2015.
Haas says "I'm still totally convinced I've good matches and tournaments ahead of me."
