English (Traducir este texto en Español): Patoles can be reached by any rental car from Mazatlan in less than two hours. The important thing to remember is don't try it during the rainy season. March through the end of June should be OK. Surf season is from March to Oct. I have made it down the road in Aug but that is pretty lucky in a rental car. Turn off the toll road at K69, go over the overpass and follow the road about 5k's until you get to the bottom of the hill, go left, go right under second railroad underpass, head to beach, look for the point, have fun. Tip: If you don't want to pay for the toll road each day stay in La Cruz. It's about 15K north of Patoles.

English (Traducir este texto en Español): Theres like 4 or 5 other real good points before Patoles, there's 29s, a beach break reef, big right and left thats always bigger than everywhere else, theres Marmol, a perfect left, kind of soft and mushy but gets super fun, long waves, then there's veneno, a perfect A framed left, looks like it could get hollow on the right swell, very long good left, and then there's rock island, which is close to Mazatlan, on the south side of Mazatlan, just on the south side of the harbor, walk out to the island on the jedi.
English (Traducir este texto en Español): very dangerous during strong rips, (rainy season) a good rip can take you right into mountain rocks.
Also watch out for nets the locals sometimes put out there. Great damn spot though, my favorite.
Respect the locals! The only access is through their land.
English (Traducir este texto en Español): Patoles, if its good, is the best spot there, its probably the best left i've ever surfed, really good perfect barreling lefts.

Sinaloa Surf Cartels - North of Mazatlan is the small beach side pueblo of Celestino Gasca. Once known for aqua culture with large warehouses and factories, those are slowly being replaced by small independent beach resorts where you can enjoy beautiful sunset walks on sandy public beaches and world class surfing at two point breaks. Having a number of resorts near perfect surf you might get the idea that as a surfer ,which I happen to be, this would be a dream come true.
For anyone surfing there prior to the introduction of the Cardon Adventure Resort, this was true. Mexican surfers had been going there for years along with a few hardy travelers that just happened to stumble upon it. Everyone getting along, totally stoked .....living the dream.
Initially when the Cardon Adventure Resort opened things were pretty much as they had been before, but
it didn't take long before the owners of Cardon decided they owned the surf. Their mandate became "Only our guests are allowed to surf here ". Access for local Mexican surfers was seriously restricted and anyone else showing up to enjoy the surf was bullied out of the water. Within just a few short years this dramatic change has resulted in an escalation of terrorism by the owners of Cardon Adventure Resort and their employees. Some of the employees just happen to be surfers from California.Two years ago after an altercation in the surf with an employee of the Cardon resort, a well known visiting surfer was escorted from his resort at gunpoint by thugs.
My wife and I have been going to Celestino Gasca for years, always staying at the original resort right in front of the main point. On a recent trip we had planned on staying for ten days. The first day went great; just a few Mexican surfer friends sharing the waves, just like the good old days. The second day my friends and I were enjoying a repeat of the day before until Jeff Phillips, the American thug employed by Cardon, paddled out. When I was sitting by myself he began his normal tirade, screaming "I'm going to F___K you up! I'm gonna take you out". As usual I just tried to ignore him. Day three my wife and I decided to wait until the Cardon crew had finished their session before paddling out. Watching everyone walking by our palapa including Jeff, I thought this may be a good way to handle things. Just taking turns, sounded like a good plan to me. We paddled out into an empty lineup. After about half an hour Jeff comes paddling back out on a hugh long board and proceeds to put his newest battle plan into action. This time he never says one word to us. At first I thought it was kind of a relief, but that didn't last long. I have been surfing all my life and what happen next was beyond anything I have ever experienced before. It was like some sort of absurd pro surf contest where the rules have been changed without telling of all the contestants. Now the Cardon team scored points by sitting on the shoulder, blocking us from ever taking off on a wave, dropping in front of us if we even tried to take off, finally we gave up and paddled in. It was like constantly being cut off on the freeway by a mad man.
After this fiasco we were in our beach front palapa, where we had previously spent many happy hours, relaxing and watching the surf, with friends we had met in the water, including guests of Cardon. Soon Omar, one of the owners of Cardon Adventure resort walked by to tell us "NEVER COME BACK". Beating his chest he said "THIS IS MY BREAK" That no other resort on the beach is allowed to rent to surfers. If we didn't leave "We would see his power". Fearing for our safety we left the next day, leaving behind friends and a place we had loved for years.
Cardon Adventure Resort has created is a very dangerous situation for everyone. If this continues it will only be a question of time before some unsuspecting surfer following their dream is seriously injured or killed. Whether it be a guest of one of the other resorts, someone at Cardon, or the general public, no one is immune to the violent situation they have created.
It is my hope those reading this will rethink their support of the Cardon Adventure Resort. Be it a business association or a vacation to the resort.
Hopefully with the help of the global community we can convince Cardon to end this sad and violent path they have decided to go down. Then we can all go back to living the dream.
Embassy officials in Mazatlan told us our report was not first they had received. Anyone with any knowledge of similar behavior by Cardon Adventure resort is urged to contact the following authorities.

Please Boycott - Just got back from there. The stories are all true. They're buddies with the guys that did this and don't deserve any self respecting surfers money.

Beware of Mountain on Inside!!!! - Surfed here at the camp near end of May. Surf pumped all week. Solid 6-8 foot on last 2 days, but the point couldn't really hold it the big days. Too much current and constant paddling to stay near a take-off spot. My buddy mentioned it breaks perfectly top to bottom and a little smaller, inside at the beach break on the North side of the mountain . Last day of trip, figured "One more Wave"...haha. I paddle inside and take off on a smaller one. Closes out. I dive from my board and my leash comes off. I turn around and the set from hell is coming in. Still no prob. I'll take a few to the head and hit the beach. Only problem is the current picked me up before I could get to the beach on South side of the mountain, and swept me in front of the cliff, with a gnarly set dumping on me. Rebound waves from the cliff, a crazy current and undertoe making it difficult to stay afloat. I was exhausted and in a life or death situation. Took about 10 waves on the head till the current took me far enough that I spotted a place to get out. The explosions coming off the cliff from the waves made me realize how people die in these situations. So it took all my strength to survive.
I would suggest to anyone thinking of trying the inside beachy, to make sure!! you clear the mountain before you take off if there is any sizeable swell running. The currents are insane in here and you can die. There was no way out. Losing my board put me in an almost impossible situation. I'm lucky to have made it through. Never got my board, It washed up a half mile on the beach. I could care less at that point as I was just happy to breath.
Walked around the mountain back up the point where the swell was peaking. Solid 10 foot sets rolling through, but just an impossible current. So the camp picked me up by truck and I was out of there. Please use caution, the wave at the top of the point can lure you into thinking it's a forgiving wave, which it is, but in front of that mountain in a large swell, if you lose your board or get swept in, it can be curtains!
It was an On A Mission leash by the way.
Some of the best waves of my life though.

Avast! While the international pop-culture celebration known as Comic-Con has long been the domain of superheros, the biggest showdown at this year's convention might not even involve spandex.
Several pirate-themed properties are sailing to San Diego this week in hopes of reclaiming the pop-culture crown from the undead likes of "The Walking Dead," "World War Z" and "Dead Rising." That's right. It's pirates vs. zombies.
"I think everyone is going to remember this as the year that pirates commandeered Comic-Con," said actor Mark Ryan, who portrays gruff quartermaster Gates in Starz's upcoming mature pirate drama "Black Sails."
The series centering on Toby Stephens as pirate Captain Flint isn't set to debut until next year. However, the network is screening the first installment for a select group of fans at a movie theater Thursday night.
"As crowded as the marketplace is right now, there's weird missing spots," said "Black Sails" co-creator Jonathan Steinberg. "It's a genre you think you've seen a million times, but in reality, there just aren't that many iterations of it. Certainly, there's none that I've seen that have taken this approach."
The pirate invasion is certainly apparent on the convention's show floor where both Starz and ABC have erected mock pirate ships towering over costumed Comic-Con attendees.
ABC recreated the Jolly Roger from the popular fantasy series "Once Upon a Time," which introduced the character of Captain Hook at last year's Comic-Con and is heading to Neverland next season. The show's cast and crew are expected to detail the pirate-filled trek during a Saturday panel.
Behind the seaside convention center, Ubisoft Entertainment docked an actual iron-hulled windjammer built in 1863 depicting the fictional Jackdaw pirate ship from the upcoming game "Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag," which casts players as an 18th century privateer.
Does this flood of pirates mean zombies will soon be walking the plank?
"Look, I'll be watching `Black Sails' as much as the next guy, but pirates aren't cooler than zombies," said "Walking Dead" creator Robert Kirkman. "There's no contest. Pirates wear silly hats and boots, they ride on ships and they're completely outdated and old timey. There's no way they could compete with zombies. They have no chance."
The buccaneers are certainly outnumbered when it comes to events celebrating the undead at Comic-Con: There's two panels for "The Walking Dead" -- one for the comic, another for the TV series -- a zombie-chasing obstacle course at Petco Park and the seventh annual Zombie Walk, a march of undead-dressed folks through the city's Gaslamp Quarter.
"World War Z" author Max Brooks is among the speakers scheduled for a Thursday talk titled "Zombies in Pop Culture." He'll also join the creators of Capcom's upcoming undead-slaying video game sequel "Dead Rising 3" for a Saturday panel focusing on zombies in the interactive medium.
For an entirely different showdown involving the undead, "Plants vs. Zombies" creators PopCap are showing off the sequel to their silly strategy game on the show floor of the 44th annual convention, which runs through Sunday.
"I just hope this conflict doesn't tear the convention apart," joked DC Entertainment co-publisher Jim DiDio. "I'd put my money on the Man of Steel against any of them."

I am currently on Holiday in Turkey until the 4th June. This is a scheduled post, Although I will be blogging while I am away, I won't be reading and replying to things until I return to the UK! Hope the weather is not too bad!
Daisy Street recently sent me a pair of their incredibly cute Kitty flats. Inspired by the Charlotte Olympia Kitty Flats which retail for a whopping £485, The Daisy Street version are very similar for a much more purse friendly price of £21. I've had my eye on a pair like this for a while now and even included them in a wish list so was happy when I spotted these on their website when they offered me a pair of shoes to review. I'm very happy with the shoes, they give me "the look" without breaking the bank. Daisy Street Shoes sell a variety of designer inspired and high street style shoes at very reasonable prices. Including fairly good dupes of my beloved Topshop Allegeras and lots of Lita style shoes for those who can brave the height of them!

CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy bolstered their depth in midfield on Thursday with the signing of Swedish international Stefan Ishizaki.
The 31-year-old spent the last eight years with IF Elfsborg while also making stints with Sweden's AIK, Italian side Genoa, Norway's Valerenga. Ishizaki will be added to the Galaxy's roster pending the receipt of his International Transfer Certificate. Per league and club policy terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Ishizaki had been on the radar of MLS teams in the past, but the Swede admits that once he heard the Galaxy were interested, he had to make the move.
"I had an offer from MLS a couple years ago, but I still had a long contract with my old club, but once my agent told me that LA was interested, it was just an easy decision," said Ishizaki. "I'm quite calm with the ball. I usually play on the right wing. I've had experience playing with the national team, in Italy and I think that I bring experience here to the Galaxy."
Although Ishizaki has enjoyed a strong career in Europe, he garnered the attention of the world in April of 2012 scoring off a volley from inside his own half during a match against Obero. You can see that goal below.

A Head for the Birds
In the midst of a shiur in Talmud given to a group of Jerusalem laymen, Rabbi Ezra Attiah, the Rosh Hayeshiva of Yeshivat Porat Yossef, faced a challenge from one of his students. The subject being studied was the Torah command for someone who finds a bird's nest on a tree or on the ground to send away the mother bird before taking its eggs or fledglings. A question is raised in the gemara whether this obligation also applies to a nest on a person's head.
"How is such a thing possible?" asked the challenger. "Why should the Sages deliberate about such an impossible scenario?"
Before the rabbi had a chance to respond, there entered the room a Jew who had been absent for a considerable amount of time from the shiur in which he was a regular participant.
"Welcome back," the rabbi greeted him and asked him where he had been.
"I was away in the Far East on business," was the reply. "I saw many strange things, but what struck me most was seeing a man who had been motionlessly meditating for days until a bird built its nest on his head!"
The rabbi smiled as the challenger learned his lesson.

I am a tinkerer. It is my nature. I like to see how things work, and how changing one small point can have repercussions on the larger experience. When I was younger I would take things apart if they had broken, not so much to fix them, but to see what the insides were like, and why things worked the way they did.
This is no doubt what accounts for my interest in Linux and computers. But I also have a neat streak, and computers are usually cleaner than engines or machines. And no one goes crazy if one of the computers is in pieces. Unlike the toaster. 🙄
For tinkerers, one of the coolest and slickest distros out there is probably Slax. I don't mention Slax much, because it's one of those things I have to actively veer away from — it's too entertaining to modify and adjust and tweak and realign and … and that takes up a godawful amount of my time. Don't get me wrong, it's a lot of fun — but I become focused and lose track of events while adding this or subtracting that. One must know one's limitations.
But if you're perhaps an intermediate-level Linux user, or you enjoy tinkering with software packages to see what you can arrive at, Slax will probably be equally obsessive for you. The standard Slax desktop is KDE-driven, and looks very, very good — much like everything you will see when it comes to this distro.
But the real fun part is that you can customize your ISO from the web site. You can start with the four or five standard "modules" that come with a bland (but attractive) regular Slax arrangement, then take out or add the stuff you like or dislike. So for example, this is likewise Slax, but with my own blend of XFCE in there.
The web page arranged the ISO according to my likes, which means the KDE suite is gone, and mtpaint and Firefox are really the only applications on board. I could have added or subtracted almost anything I wanted, and gotten it prepackaged in the ISO I downloaded.
But that doesn't mean you have to rearrange everything again, if you decide you want to change the menu. All the important guts of Slax are in one folder, and adding or subtracting from that folder is the only real change that is needed. So instead of an ISO, download the tar version, unpack it to a USB key, download modules from the website and drop them in that folder, and on the next boot (or sometimes even while the system is running) you can try that new software.
It's almost too easy, and that makes it all the more dangerous for me. Don't like this desktop? Dump that out. Disappointed in that driver package? Delete, delete, delete. Prefer to try a different desktop? Drop it in the /slax/base folder on your USB drive, and installation is finished. And if dragging and dropping requires too much effort, double-click on the file and the hard work is done for you.
And as if all that wasn't good enough, the system comes with prezipped persistent save files that Slax is preprogrammed to hunt down and put into use. So there's no freaky partitioning needed, no unusual kernel boot lines or special setup routines. If it's there, it uses it. If not, it doesn't.
And if you're a "cloud" fan, there are free online Slax Drives, for storage. If you're just a fan of clean, sharp desktops and artistic working spaces, just about everything in Slax will appeal to you.
And if you like to run strictly from RAM, Slax will dump itself into memory at boot, and then you can use all of its razor-sharp cuteness at ludicrous speed. And since the default ISO takes up only around 200Mb, you can probably do this on all but the smallest of hardware.
There's a lot to look at here, and just about all of it is extremely well thought out. The people designing this obviously arrange it in ways that make it easy to adjust and use, without relying on constantly rebooting or rewriting CDs. I would definitely recommend this for people who know their way around easier, more complete distros and want to customize their environment, but don't care to install from the command line or build software from scratch.
At the same time it's great if you need a self-contained boot environment independent of anything on a particular computer, or a system you can carry around in your pocket that has the software you like. Or if you just like to experiment with different programs without the hassle of installing and uninstalling, syncing repos and downloading dependencies (although there is some of that involved). Or if you prefer a particular desktop environment in it's vanilla form. Or if you happen to like working with Slackware-leaning distros. Or if you need a particular series of events triggered from the kernel boot line, like going straight to power down after an X session. Or if you want a console-based system that only takes a few seconds to arrange and rearrange. Or if. …
I'd better stop. A distro that is push-button configurable even before you download it, and needs no more effort to customize than dropping a package in a folder is a dangerous thing for me. It just makes tinkering too easy. 😉

Dina Cieplinski grew up in Eastmoor and still lives there, on the same street as her parents and sister. The 34-year-old says she wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
Dina Cieplinski grew up in Eastmoor and still lives there, on the same street as her parents and sister.
The 34-year-old says she wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
"The people are warm and friendly. It's very easy to get around. It's inviting," said Cieplinski, who lives with her husband, Eli, 36, and their three young children.
Her street, S. Gould Road, borders Bexley. In fact, visitors often mistake Eastmoor, with its distinctive homes, expansive lawns and tree-lined streets, as part of the suburb.
But Eastmoor is a Columbus neighborhood sandwiched between Bexley and Whitehall. It's one of those well-kept, charming areas that attracts young families as well as those who yearn to return home.
Ellen Peterson, 63, grew up in Eastmoor. After living in Bexley for 17 years, she and her husband, Robert, moved back in 1994.
"We moved a whopping five minutes away from where we are now," she said. "People have always been proud of their homes. We have a lot of pretty homes in Eastmoor."
In fact, Eastmoor's history as a residential neighborhood began as quite the upscale development.
In the 1920s, Columbus lawyer Charles Johnson bought a polo field bordered by Broad Street, James Road, Fair Avenue and Broadleigh Road. Houses with horse barns were built around the field. Some of those original houses still stand on Eastmoor Boulevard.
Bernard Boiston, who is a lawyer, has lived in one of them since 1979. Boiston, a native of the Loire Valley region of France, knew nothing of the area's equestrian history until he moved in and looked at the old title documents.
His 2,600-square-foot Tudor-style house, which was built in 1924, includes some sturdy fixtures. Boiston said one commode has a date on the tank that indicates that it was installed during the decade the house went up.
"It certainly has got a lot of mileage, I can tell you that," said Boiston, who still practices law at age 70 in an office that is a little more than 2 miles away on E. Broad Street.
Larger houses continued to go up near the polo field through the 1930s. After World War II, the neighborhood experienced a housing explosion, and smaller Cape Cod and stucco homes quickly were built to accommodate growing families.
Herb Talabere lives in one of those houses, a Broadleigh Road ranch built in 1956.
Like the Petersons, Talabere and his wife, Laurel, used to live in Bexley. They moved to Eastmoor in 2003. They said they wanted to reduce their living expenses.
"It's a Bexley-like neighborhood without Bexley taxes," said Mr. Talabere, 73, a retired federal worker and the president of the Eastmoor Civic Association and Blockwatch.
Eastmoor recently received a $4,000 neighborhood partnership grant through the United Way of Central Ohio for two stone markers to be placed at entryways to the area.
"It just helps to define us," Mr. Talabere said.
The association's eastern border is James Road. But Eastmoor Academy, a longtime anchor for the area, is east of James Road.
That part of the neighborhood is more modest and features more rental properties.
Eastmoor is home to Columbus City Councilwoman Priscilla Tyson, 56, an Eastmoor High School graduate who said she always liked the "community feel" there.
For example, the neighborhood hosts an annual picnic on the former polo field, now called Virginia Lee Circle Park, with music, games and ice cream.
Mrs. Cieplinski said she also likes the diversity of the area: white and black, Catholic and Jewish, old and young.
Many neighborhood children attend nearby St. Catharine School. Three synagogues are also nearby.
Over the winter, Mrs. Cieplinski, the civic association's vice president, and her husband, Eli, who runs a landscaping business, worked with a local business to remove mountains of snow from sidewalks so residents could walk to synagogue.
She works nearby as the director of the Florence Melton Adult Mini-School at the Jewish Community Center, a program that offers a course on Jewish history, ethics and other topics.
Mrs. Peterson said she is sure the neighborhood will continue to draw residents like the Cieplinskis.
"A lot of houses have turned over in recent years ... a lot of young families," she said. "It's something that says a lot for Eastmoor."

In Britain, Margaret Thatcher remains a divisive figure to this day. Just Monday night, six British police officers were injured in public rallies organized to celebrate her death.
In the 1980s those divisions were even more raw for some communities.
For young gay British people, it was a particularly difficult era. Thatcher's conservative government brought in legislation that specifically outlawed the 'promotion' of homosexuality in schools making it impossible for teachers to counsel gay teenagers without risking their jobs.
Damian Barr, who was part of that generation, grew up gay in a working class Scottish community where Thatcher's policies dominated everyday life.
His forthcoming memoir "Maggie and Me," explores how Thatcher shaped his early years.

Has your cat developed a loss of interest in eating? Dr. Ernie Ward, a veterinarian based in North Carolina, found that a revised diet that favored particularly odorous foods — or food that could be enhanced in terms of smell — can help improve a cat's eating behavior almost immediately.
Out of Smell, out of Mind
To understand what a decline in the sense of smell means to a cat, consider the fact that they have an extra organ tucked in the upper back area of their mouths. It serves to detect pheromones and thereby smell mates or prey. "We don't have this," says Ward. "As humans, we're visual sensory creatures, but animals are more predominantly smell and sound. So it's hard for people to put themselves in the place of a cat that can't smell."
If you notice a loss of appetite, or if your cat generally becomes more finicky (especially preferring more aromatic foods), your first step should be a veterinarian visit to rule out other factors. Decreased eating could be due to serious oral or dental problems, or one of several treatable medical issues that affect the sense of smell.
"Many people bring their cats in for decreased appetite, and it often turns out to be an upper respiratory infection," says Dr. Katy Johnson Nelson, a Virginia-based veterinarian and member of the Iams Pet Wellness Council. "The inflammation and nasal discharge causes a decrease in the functionality of the olfactory senses." She adds that appetite usually returns to normal once the illness is treated.
But for senior cats, starting around age 11, it's often just a basic (and permanent) age-related decline. And while it's unlikely that your cat would let itself starve to death, any level of malnutrition during the senior years is a concern you should try to address.
Tricks for Feeding a Finicky Cat
- Switch food. Wet/canned food tends to be more pungent than dry food. Or, try mixing some wet food in with your cat's normal food to give it an added aromatic punch. When switching to a new food, stick to high-quality formulations that are tailored to seniors.
- Heat the food. In general, heated food tends to be more aromatic than room-temperature food. Take care not to overdo it and risk mouth burns, and avoid using plastic or metal bowls in the microwave.
- Season the food. Many pet food companies now offer what are generally called "toppers." They may come as small bits of freeze-dried meats that can be mixed into a bowl of food, or as aromatic, savory sauces that can be poured over dry food. "A lot of these products seem more tailored to dogs," says Ward, "but I've had success using them with cats, so it's worth a shot."
Consult Your Veterinarian
As with any change in diet, consult your veterinarian before moving forward. As long as you rule out more serious health causes, an aromatic tweak to the food can usually improve appetite.

When Army major and family physician Julie Hundertmark, M.D., started working in 2005 as a resident at a family medicine clinic in Fort Benning, Ga., she often felt as though she was practicing alone, isolated from her physician colleagues and other members of the health care team.
"I was truly an island of one," says Hundertmark, who still practices at the same Fort Benning clinic. "Everything depended on the physician, as far as getting anything done." Although Hundertmark had nursing staff support, she did not feel as though she had "a nursing staff that supported me individually as a physician."
In 2009, however, the Army chose the clinic Hundertmark works at as one of its first patient-centered medical home (PCMH) sites. The clinic began implementing the PCMH model in July 2009, and patient care at the clinic began to change, according to Hundertmark. It became much more integrated and coordinated, allowing the clinic to deliver a higher level of care to its patient population.
"It has made such a difference in my personal practice with my own personal patients," says Hundertmark. "My work hours have changed. I am actually able to leave much earlier than I used to because I have other members of the health care team who are helping with the documentation and helping me to track things, like quality measures."
Hundertmark notes that all of the activities are done under her supervision, but before the PCMH model, she was responsible for contacting her patients and determining where they were with their prescription refills or how their care fared in relation to quality metrics. "Now that we have rolled out the medical home, I can truly say I love working in my clinic because of the team concept," says Hundertmark.
- The nation's armed forces and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) have emerged as a major force for transformation to the patient-centered medical home (PCMH) model of care during the past few years.
- The Army, Navy, Air Force and VA are in the process of transforming thousands of practices to PCMHs, which will impact millions of patients.
- Use of the PCMH by the military and the VA has created a synergy between the military and civilian worlds, allowing each to learn from the other and accelerating PCMH initiatives in both the civilian and military sectors.
Growing Movement
Hundertmark is part of a growing PCMH movement that is sweeping through the military and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). It is transforming thousands of practices and bringing millions of patients into the medical home model.
The VA's Veterans Health Administration (VHA), along with the Army, Navy and Air Force, has embraced the PCMH model, using it to focus health care systems on team-based, patient-centered care. In the process, the VHA and the various branches of the military have emerged as a major force for PCMH transformation that is rivaling and, in some cases, surpassing PCMH efforts in the private sector.
Many military officials say they turned to the PCMH model out of necessity and a genuine desire to improve health care for their patients. "We were not taking care of our patients as well as we could have been," says Lt. Col. Timothy Kosmatka, M.D., a family physician who serves as Air Force chief consultant for family medicine services. "We had not achieved the levels of continuity from a patient perspective that we know drive positive outcomes."
The same was true of individual physicians and other health care professionals, too, he notes. "Our physicians were feeling overworked because most of the work was falling to the (physicians)," says Kosmatka. "We really felt that we needed to make a change to the medical home mind-set in really emphasizing team-based care and really using people to the maximal extent of their licensure and skill set."
"I have been in the VA for 30 years, and I remember what it used to be like," says Richard Stark, M.D., director of primary care clinic operations for the VA. "To see the changes that we have been able to make in these last couple of years is pretty amazing. When I talk to the folks out in the field about their views of this, they say, 'This is why I went into medicine' or 'This is the way I always wanted to practice.'"
TransforMED Provides PCMH Expertise to Armed Services
TransforMED, the AAFP's wholly owned, nonprofit subsidiary, has served as an unofficial consultant on the patient-centered medical home (PCMH) model for all branches of the military during the past three years.
In this capacity, TransforMED shares its expertise on the PCMH with military personnel through military-convened panels and meetings.
"We also have conducted small PCMH projects for the military," says Terry McGeeney, M.D., president and CEO of TransforMED. "For example, we have done physician leadership training for the Navy on the PCMH."
TransforMED recently joined with PricewaterhouseCoopers to support a PCMH initiative within the Army's Northern Region Command that will essentially transform outpatient clinics at 15 northeastern Army bases into PCMHs. This represents TransforMED's biggest project yet with the military.
"It is basically a train-the-trainer type of program where TransforMED will be training military staff to implement the medical home attributes in their outpatient clinics," says McGeeney.
McGeeney is convinced that the military's adoption and use of the PCMH makes "perfect sense," explaining that the military takes care of a diverse population across a wide geographic area that would benefit greatly from a strong primary care infrastructure and the PCMH.
Not surprisingly, McGeeney equates the military's commitment to the PCMH with their dedication and commitment to primary care. "That is the reason TransforMED is so interested in being involved in this," McGeeney says.
The VHA provides care to about 8 million beneficiaries, and furnishes primary care services to about 5.2 million of those beneficiaries, according to Stark. It is the largest integrated health care system in the country.
During the past 18 months, the VHA has been converting its 1,000 primary care practice sites to the PCMH model, and Stark is convinced that the PCMH model prevents hospitalizations and emergency room visits while helping patients manage their own care. As proof, he cites statistics showing that urgent care visits by patients enrolled in VHA primary care facilities decreased by 8 percent after rollout of the PCMH model in 2011. In addition, the VA experienced a 4 percent decrease in acute admission rates to VHA facilities in 2011.
These statistics have real relevance for individual VHA clinics. Gustavo Garcia-Ramos, M.D., is a family physician who has practiced within the VHA system for nearly 10 years, well before his VHA clinic started implementing the PCMH.
According to Garcia-Ramos, the PCMH has resulted in faster and better access to care at the South Bexar Clinic in San Antonio, where he practices. Ramos also cites the efficiency of health care teams as another benefit of the PCMH.
The experiences of Garcia-Ramos and others at the VHA are shared by the branches of the military that have adopted the PCMH model. For example, the Air Force has seen a 14 percent reduction in emergency room and urgent care visits during the past six months as a result of the PCMH, according to Kosmatka.
The Air Force began implementing the PCMH model in 2008, starting with its family physician health clinics. "We have 75 of those across the globe," says Kosmatka. "As of Feb. 1 of this year, all of our family health clinics are practicing in a patient-centered medical home construct."
In 2011, the Air Force started to expand the PCMH model to its pediatric clinics and will have all of them practicing within the PCMH model by May, says Kosmatka. In addition, the Air Force plans to extend the PCMH model to its internal medicine clinics this year.
In implementing the PCMH, the Air Force developed health care teams made up of eight personnel: one physician, a midlevel health care professional, a nurse and five medical technicians. In nearly every case, the physician leads the health care team, and each team has a patient panel that includes about 2,500 patients, according to Kosmatka.
The Army, meanwhile, has followed a similar path to PCMH adoption by assembling physician-led health care teams to deliver patient-centered care. Like the other branches of the military, the Army has targeted its primary care group -- family medicine, pediatrics and internal medicine -- for PCMH transformation.
Thus far, the Army has transformed 157 practices into PCMHs, and, according to Col. Mark Reeves, M.D., a family physician who serves as the Army's family medicine consultant, it expects that number to grow to about 250 during the next two to three years.
Pros and Cons
Not surprisingly, the military's adoption and use of the PCMH have prompted comparisons with PCMH efforts in the private sector. In many ways, the military is confronting the same challenges with the PCMH that exist in the civilian world.
If nothing else, the PCMH represents a profound cultural change that is not easy for everyone to adapt to or even accept. "There are many who are skeptical about the medical home," says Reeves. "But we are trying to show them the merits and bring them over."
The various branches of the military also have some inherent advantages and disadvantages when it comes to implementing the PCMH. The government provides the military with a set budget, and, as a consequence, the military essentially operates within a capitated payment system. This type of payment structure is much more conducive to the PCMH model than the prevailing fee-for-service payment structure that exists in the private sector.
"It also is an opportunity for a modified reward system, such as the Army's Performance-based Adjustment Model, which rewards leaders and staff for achieving benchmarks in continuity, patient satisfaction, health promotions and administrative efficiencies," says Reeves.
But at the same time, people transition in and out of the military on a regular basis, making retention of personnel much more difficult than in the civilian sector. "Our greatest challenge with the medical home will be to sustain it," says Kosmatka.
Military officials are convinced, however, that their use of the PCMH model is creating a type of synergy between the military and civilian worlds, allowing each to learn from the other. This, in turn, is expected to accelerate PCMH initiatives in both the civilian and military sectors. For example, Kosmatka notes that the Air Force has an excellent electronic medical records system, one that the civilian sector can learn from.
"It is not only a nationwide electronic medical record, it is a worldwide electronic medical record," says Kosmatka. "That ready access to information really helps with disease management and care coordination."

The sticky situation of asking county residents to add to their own tax burden will be stickier still in Greene County because of questions raised by a tiny but persistent group voicing concerns about elected officials� stewardship of the money they have to spend now.
The sticky situation of asking county residents to add to their own tax burden will be stickier still in Greene County because of questions raised by a tiny but persistent group voicing concerns about elected officials� stewardship of the money they have to spend now. Whether those doubts color the outcome of the sales tax referendum next month won�t be known until after the polls close, but it�s clear that supporters of the tax increase have more to prove than need.
Like Lenoir and some other counties, Greene wants voters to increase the sales tax on most retail items to 7 percent from 6.75 percent. The increase would add about $167,800 to county coffers annually.
County commissioners are promoting the sales tax increase as a more equitable alternative to a property tax increase, since it would be spread among virtually all residents. At this point, though, it looks like an easier alternative. It was a property tax increase that commissioners considered in June that united the group of residents that now regular bring their questions about financial and management matters to board of commissioner meetings.
That group has not made the sale tax increase an issue. Instead, it has focused on county spending and what it considers questionable management of county resources and lax oversight by commissioners in money matters. However, the two matters converge at the intersection of Trust and Competence.
County Manager Don Davenport has pretty much closed the door on questions about salary overpayments by setting up a timetable for repaying the overage, but the issue of commissioners� oversight that surfaced then runs like a theme through other points of contention � most recently, the year it�s taken to get action on an emergency electrical system in areas of the sheriff�s office, including the 911 dispatching center, and the additional expense of renovating space used by state courts, apparently not on the county�s radar when it was renovating other courthouse space.
Some of the questions raised in county board meetings arise clearly from a difference in priorities � a resident�s or organization�s vs. the county�s � and can be viewed simply as part of the process. Others, though, go to the heart of an issue that should be of concern to all governed people � transparency in the process.
But if they make that connection between promoting transparency and pushing a tax increase, commissioners are slow to show it. In earmarking money for the courtroom repairs, for instance, the board discussed the work � essentially ordered by Superior Court Judge Paul Jones � behind closed doors, citing attorney-client privilege. In our view, that action clearly violated the state open meetings law, which allows a closed meeting in that situation not to discuss "general policy matters" with an attorney but "to consider and give instructions to an attorney concerning the handling or settlement of a claim, judicial action, mediation, arbitration, or administrative procedure." No discussion of the $150,000 project occurred in public session.
Governments from the courthouse to the state house to the White House like to work in secret. It�s less complicated; it cuts down on the questions. It also alienates the public and undermines the sense of community and shared purpose critical in convincing voters to endorse a tax increase.

We all have our "signs of spring."
Many remark when they notice their first robin of the year. Others note the high-flying Canada and snow geese. And still others mark the arrival of spring by seeing maple buckets on roadside trees or crocuses flowering along the edge of a front lawn.
No doubt; robins, migrating geese, buckets, and flowers all signal that winter is on its last legs and love is literally in the air.
But the woodcock, the timberdoodle, is my favorite harbinger of spring.
The 'doddle is especially dear to those of us who have bird dogs.
Many a day afield has been highlighted by action and good dog-work on the little "bog sucker."
The timberdoodle is the comedic hero for upland hunters.
While grouse take center stage with their startling, thundering, handsome, and dramatic flight, the 'doodle twitters away.
The former uses force and speed, like a true hero; the latter guile and elusiveness like a comedian.
Ruffed grouse stay here all winter. They take on our toughest and longest winters; dodging hawks, escaping fox and coyotes, and finding food by browsing buds when seeds and ground-hugging green leaves are blanketed for long months by ice and snow.
But the woodcock, a worm and bug eater, is a true "snow bird" heading south when the going gets slightly tough. That's when the edges of swamps and spring seeps, the doodles' kitchen table and smorgasbord, begin to freeze up.
And in direct contrast to the loud and brash high-flying geese, the doodles migrate, at only a little higher than tree level, about 50 feet, according to experts. And they migrate only at night, beginning at dusk and settling in quietly at dawn.
No dramatic flight here. Just enough to get the job done.
When the doodles arrive, woodcock spend their days in thick brush and brambles, near fields, their "singing fields."
Now what has been called "singing" in the woodcock's realm is a real stretch of the word because all we can hear from a woodcock on the ground is a nasal "pheent, pheent, pheent." Sounds more like an insect. Certainly not musical.
Couldn't be further from the melodic warbling of a cock robin, stark contrast to the seriousness of a male grouse drumming with a studied cadence of wing beats. Feathered Tarzans, beating on his chest.
A woodcock would in all likelihood fall over if he tried beating his wings on his little chest. He has virtually no tail feathers to steady himself, the spindliest legs, and wings too long.
But what would you expect from the little comedian whose beak appears way too long? The doodle's bill is almost the length of its body, perfectly adapted to probing deep in the mud for worms and bugs.
Old timers said that the woodcock used it's long bill to spring into the air, like a pole vaulter, for extra lift. But I doubt that is true, though the beak is long enough. No, that's too weird, even for a 'doodle.
One would think that the woodcock was tossed together in the last moment of creation when time and parts had all but run out.
The beak belongs to a great blue heron, stuck on a pigeon's frame. The wings are more like a whip-or-will's or a nighthawk, long and tapered. The legs are toothpick-thin and appear too long so that when the doodle runs, and only when it must, the bird looks as if it had been in liquid moonshine, weaving back and forth, stumbling, tripping over its own little feet like a drunk.
And those little feet are useless for roosting too. The woodcock is one bird that can not roost. Its feet can not grip twigs or limbs.
A woodcock's ears are in the wrong place, actually under its much too out-of-proportion large dark eye. And anatomists say that the doodle's brain is even upside down, with the cerebellum on the bottom!
Maybe that is the final explanation as to the weird bird's erratic flight making fools out of so many of us gunners.
But though the woodcock may appear strange, a comic and even foolish force in the avian world, they are evidently very attractive to their opposite sex when the males put on their spectacular courtship flight.
And where we all pay respect and hold the doodle in esteem and high regard is after we see this aireal display, unrivaled by all other birds, except for maybe the mating tumble of eagles, rarified company indeed for an avian clown.
And though breathtaking, the courtship flight of the male woodcock is quite ubiquitous and easy to observe in our countryside, usually in April and early May, on quiet, calm evenings, just before dark thoughout New York and Pennsylvania.
The males show off for the females at dusk by first "pheenting," their cicada-like vocalization. And then as the cadence and time between "pheents" quickens, all of a sudden, with a twittering of wings, the male woodcock launches himself skyward.
And here, for a few moments, all semblance of goofiness ends.
Up, up, they climb in an ever-widening spiral, keeping barely in sight, until the bird is just a speck to the keenest eyes while twittering all the time.
As the high-pitched twittering and chattering reaches a crescendo, synchronized with the apex of the flight at a height of about 200 to 300 feet, the cock bird folds his wings and drops toward the female who is quietly on the ground, observing his show.
The diving male 'doodle flares his wings at the last moment, sometimes making a "vroooom" sound with his long, tapered wings like a diving nighthawk, and chattering (flight feathers.)
And then after discretely landing back on earth again, and dancing in front of his gal, it seems almost comedic, such a contrast to his ariel feats.
But back in the singing field, "pheent, pheent, pheent."
After singing a bit, the 'doodle winds himself up again and launches skyward, briefly again shedding its comedic role, a master of the air once again, all part of this springtime dusk.

According to a new report, Khloe Kardashian continues to remain desperate for a baby.
Khloe, 27, graces the latest cover of UsWeekly magazine, which reveals she is currently undergoing invitro while putting major pressure on herself to get pregnant.
While Kourtney recently revealed she is pregnant with her second child, Khloe and her NBA hubby Lamar Odom, 32, have been doing everything they can to get pregnant since tying the knot two years ago. "Kourtney's news just highlights that Khloe's not pregnant yet," a source told UsWeekly. "She's thrilled for Kourtney, but she's really sensitive. And it's hard to see your sister get something you want so badly."
UsWeekly reports that Khloe's desperation for a baby led her to start in vitro fertilization back in September. Khloe has reportedly had several consultations about IVF, began taking prenatal vitamins and is currently prepping for the procedure, which costs $10,000 to $15,000 per treatment.
And in true Kardashian fashion, UsWeekly adds that Khloe's fertility woes will be a key plotline on the next season of her E! reality hit Khloe & Lamar, which is currently filming and will premiere early next year. Khloe will reportedly open up about the stress of trying to conceive. "I know she's 'the funny sister,' but she's the kind of person who does get really stressed out," says the source.
As we speculated this week, perhaps Khloe is already pregnant. She appears to be sporting a baby bump in recent photos, which would also explain her recent weight gain. Plus if Khloe's pregnant, it would further explain why pimpmomager Kris Jenner had Kourtney announce her pregnancy at just 9 weeks. This would allow Khloe to announce her own pregnancy soon, garnering her individual attention as well as more money for her announcement!
Meanwhile news broke yesterday that Khloe's hubby Lamar, who plays for the Los Angeles Lakers, was going to be traded to New Orleans. The deal, however, fell through with sources close to Khloe telling TMZ today that she is ready and willing to move anywhere for Lamar. It's still a great possibility that Lamar will be traded out of Los Angeles.
Finally, Kris Humphries appeared on GMA today with his mother Debra Humphries, in his first interview since Kim Kardashian filed for divorce on Oct. 31.
In the VERY awkward interview, Kris, 26, was asked numerous questions about Kim and his divorce, while he gave the same response over and over again simply stating he wanted to move forward and focus on basketball and his charity.
"Through everything, I'm just focused on family and preparing for basketball," said Kris. "For me, it's just, certain things happen in life and you've got to move forward. I'm excited to be where I'm at right now, with the NBA season coming up."
When asked about his new E! show Kourtney and Kim Take New York, Kris made it clear he is NOT a fan. "The only things I really watch on TV of myself is playing basketball. I've never been someone to really watch the show on TV or anything like that," he said. "I don't really play into all the gossip."
TMZ is now reporting that Kris is "livid" and felt ambushed by Good Morning America. Kris is claiming he was under the impression that the interview would not focus on his split from Kimmie!
Sources close to Kris tell TMZ he knew he would be asked about the divorce during the sit-down, but didn't expect to be grilled like he was. Adding that the only reason he agreed to do the interview was to promote his charity work as well as support his mother's cooking segment on the show. Kris is now "livid" over the way the interview turned out.
However, GMA is calling foul on Kris' claims saying no pre-show deal was made to limit the interview. Love ya Kris but did you really think GMA wanted to talk to you about charity work and your mother's cooking abilities??? Le sigh. It has also been widely reportedly that the prenup, signed by both Kim and Kris, prohibits them from spilling the beans in the event of a divorce.

10 Years Later, "Heart and Hustle, Redux"
2011 is the 10th anniversary of the Tampa Bay Rays up tempo slogan "Heart and Hustle" that signified and branded a Rays squad consisting of a hodge podge of vets and rookies who meshed together to play a energized style of Rays baseball. Sounds kind of familiar?
That same highly energized and enthusiastic slogan could easily be stamped upon this 2011 Rays squad. Truly it is the essence of this team's " fire in the belly "heart and "never say die" hustle that has lead this ball club from the April darkness of the American League East cellar to them gaining momentum, slowly escalating onward and upward towards a 6-game shootout with the slumping Boston Red Sox and surging Los Angeles Angels for the potential AL Wild Card post season prize.
Even 10 years later, heart and hustle still seem to be firmly within the foundation and backbone of the Rays team culture. From the extreme performance last night from their youngest player on their roster RP/SP Matt Moore to a their oldest "young at heart" performer OF/DH Johnny Damon who only has to look at his ring fingers to visually show he can help lead this young maturing band of baseball brothers to that last glorious plateau in late October.
I mean how can you root against a team where Damon, who was born in 1973 is still grinding out extra base hits and stealing bases like rookie sensation Desmond Jennings. Just because Damon is adding nightly to his future Hall of Fame resume, the pure magic he sees within this team is not lost on him that the Rays have the drive and confidence to take this thing to its final destination, then party like rock stars.
Even the Rays usual whipping boy B J Upton has pushed his numbers high and higher as the number of games diminish, possibly knowing within his mind this might be his last chance at post season glory with this Rays club before the Winter could dish out a harsh reality to him and the Rays Republic. Right now Upton is playing like a man possessed, or who knows the window of opportunity is beginning to be shut.
Do not get me started on this Rays rotation where from top to bottom we have seen 10+ wins by each starter, and had glimpses of magic from often maligned SP Wade Davis and Jeff Niemann. We have seen Rays rookie Jeremy Hellickson get a secondary nickname just for 2011, "HellROY" as he burns towards the finish line.
Even the Rays rookies are set to make a little history of their own as Jennings needs only 2 stolen bases over the next 6 games to become the first AL rookie with 10 HR and 20 SB since the Rays own Rocco Baldelli and Kansas City's Angel Berroa set the mark in 2003. Hellickson has a .290 ERA and a .208 opponent average, the fifth best rookie performance…ever.
Rays Manager Joe Maddon's mantra of "pitching sets the tone" has definitely sparked some beautiful music from his hurlers as the Rays collectively have held the American League to a .236 average. The last AL team to post such numbers was the 2001 Mariners who had the same .236 average. Oh, and by the way, that Mariners club made the playoffs. Rays starters have gone 7+ innings 77 times, 21 times more than the second closest squad, their AL East rivals the New York Yankees.
Amazing enough, this Rays pitching staff has thrown 1,024.1 innings (most in AL) and leads the AL with a 3.51 ERA, 15 complete games and has allowed an AL-low 593 runs. All this by a staff that has seen all 156 prior 2011 Rays game started by pitchers drafted and developed by the Rays, the only team in the majors this season who can boast that claim. Plus, they are riding a 758 consecutive streak of starters under the age of 30…an MLB record.
Along with their upward trend in pitching, the Rays have solidified their overall defense to the tone that the Rays have committed the least errors in the Majors (69), and their combined .988 Fielding Percentage is tied with NL powerhouse Philadelphia for the top slot in the MLB. Talk about "hustle", this Rays team has committed only 4 errors in their last 17 games, and only 17 in their past 53 contests.
If ever there was a Rays team that demonstrated that mantra of "Heart and Hustle", it is this 2011 squad. This Rays squad was 9 games out of playoff contention on September 2, 2011. No other team in MLB history has overcome that many games in September to get into the post season. The closest comparison would be the St. Louis Cardinals (who trained in St. Petersburg, Fl) who were in 3rd place and trailed the Philadelphia Phillies by 8.5 games on September 3, 1964.
History is definitely on the Rays side right now as the Rays have already secured their 4th straight 10 win seasonal series against tonight's foe, the Toronto Blue Jays, the most against any Rays opponent. The Rays are also a combined 25-8 against the pesky bird in Tropicana Field over that same time period. Also working into the Rays favor is their lifetime 6-4 record against the Yankees in the last series of the season, including a dismal 1-2 mark in 1999.
Since 2001, the Rays have beaten New York by a 5-2 mark during the last series of the season at Tropicana Field. This 2011 squad has a chance to possibly duplicate some more late season angst upon the 2011 AL East Champion Yankee just as they did back in 2001 when the Yankees won the AL East and the Rays beat them 3 out of 4 games heading into the post season
The Rays past "Heart and Hustle" campaign centered on their rising stars and a few veterans getting their last swings at glory. Maybe we should collectively called this Rays prospect of the Rays 2011 Renaissance and possibly Rays history repeating itself, "Heart and Hustle Redux". I think it fits perfectly like a glove.

Barbara Walters remains hospitalized in Washington, D.C. with a low fever after taking a tumble over the weekend.
The 83-year-old, who was in town covering President Barack Obama's inauguration celebrations, fell and cut her forehead while visiting the British Ambassador's residence on Saturday.
She was noticeably absent from her hosting gig on chat show "The View" on Tuesday, prompting her co-presenter, actress Whoopi Goldberg, to read aloud a statement from Walters, which read: "First and foremost, all the people who have called, written and been concerned about me, I'm most appreciative. I'm running a low-grade fever and the doctors are keeping me in the hospital until my temperature is normal. I'm pleased that it is going in the right direction and I will be home soon."
Goldberg also revealed her pal's injuries were significant enough to warrant stitches.
She added, "Barbara went to Washington to cover the inauguration. She missed a step and had a fall, which cut her upper temple. The doctors stitched her up and she is doing fine, but they want her to take it easy."

COVID-19 Response: Click here for the latest State Bar and court developments.
Joe ForwardLegal Writer
July 6, 2011 – When Gov. Scott Walker signs the concealed carry bill, Wisconsin will join 48 other states that allow qualified residents to carry concealed weapons. So what does that mean for property owners, businesses, and employers?
The new law creates immunity for property owners and employers who allow concealed weapons on property or at a place of business. It will also allow property owners and employers to prohibit employees and visitors from carrying concealed weapons on the premises by providing proper notice. So what are the liability risks?
"The addition of immunity under the new law does not necessarily correspond with an increase in liability, at least for employers who prohibit concealed weapons," said Milwaukee attorney David Froiland, a partner in Foley & Lardner's labor and employment practice group. "If an employer prohibits guns pursuant to the posting requirements, then employer liability should be the same on the day after the law becomes effective as the day before."
Gov. Walker is expected to sign the proposed law this week, meaning most of its provisions would take effect on Nov. 1, 2011.
The new law allows qualified persons to carry concealed weapons, except in certain places like county, state, or federal courthouses and police stations, among others places. Allowable "weapons" include handguns, electronic tasers, billyclubs, and knives other than switchblades.
To be qualified, a person must apply for a valid license. The state must issue licenses to persons who meet the application requirements. Applicants must be at least 21 years of age, complete a training program, and go through a background check before a license is issued.
Under the new law, a license-holder is guilty of trespassing if he or she has proper notice from the residential or commercial property owner or occupant that he or she may not enter or remain on the premises while carrying a concealed weapon.
In these circumstances, prohibiting persons from entering property with a concealed weapon requires notice by a conspicuous sign (at least 5 inches by 7 inches) "located in a prominent place near all of the entrances" or "all probable access points."
Failure to post proper signage prohibiting concealed weapons on the premises, at least on an employer's premises, probably means the prohibition lacks legal effect, according to Froiland.
"This means that the improperly notified employee who carries a covered weapon on the premises cannot be disciplined," Froiland said.
Under the new law, property owners or occupiers that do not prohibit an individual from carrying a concealed weapon on property are "immune from any liability arising from its decision." This would include business owners or occupiers.
This provision seems to insulate a property owner/occupier from all liability for injuries sustained by third parties as a result of a decision to allow weapons on the premises, even if the decision is made negligently, that is, without regard to the foreseeable consequences.
Immunity does not extend to a property owner/occupier who prohibits a licensed individual from carrying a concealed weapon onto the property or into a place of business.
Similarly, an employer can prohibit employees from carrying concealed weapons in the workplace, but cannot prohibit employees from carrying concealed weapons or storing weapons in their motor vehicles as a condition of employment.
However, an employer that does not prohibit one or more employees from carrying a concealed weapon in the course of employment "is immune from any liability arising from its decision." Presumably, this immunity clause bars claims based on the tortious or negligent acts of an employee occurring within the scope of employment.
But what if an employer prohibits employees from carrying concealed weapons at work, using the proper signage? With a legal right to protect oneself through concealed carry, could an employee argue that an employer failed to establish a safe workplace because a prohibition on weapons in the workplace took away the employee's right to legal self-protection?1
Consider the following hypothetical: An employee has a license to carry a concealed weapon, but a business prohibits the employee from bringing his or her handgun to work and posts proper signs to that effect. A disgruntled former employee walks in and starts shooting. Under the new concealed carry law, the business is not immune from liability.
Froiland says in this situation, worker's compensation should usually be the exclusive remedy against the employer, at least "where, at the time of the injury, the employee is performing service growing out of and incidental to his or her employment."2
On the other hand, could an employer subject itself to liability claims if it did not properly enforce a prohibition on concealed weapons in the workplace?3 In other words, must the employer do more than post signs prohibiting concealed weapons?
"An employer's choice to do no more than post signs does not automatically subject it to liability," said Milwaukee attorney Cherice Hopkins, an associate in Foley & Lardner's labor and employment practice group. "Typically, there must be a basis for holding the employer responsible for the act of its employee, such as foreseeability of the misconduct."
However, Hopkins says its best that the employer have a written policy that addresses the prohibition on concealed weapons in the workplace. It will reinforce the employer's serious stance on the prohibition, and inform employees of the discipline they face if they violate the prohibition, decreasing the likelihood that an employee will ignore the prohibition and bring a weapon to work.
Whether employers only post signs or take additional steps to inform employees of the prohibition, Hopkins says it is vitally important for the employer to enforce its prohibition. Weapons are not truly prohibited if an employer says "no weapons" but then looks the other way when employees bring weapons to work.
Consider the following hypothetical: An employee has a license to carry a concealed weapon, but a business prohibits the employee from bringing his or her handgun to work. The employee does so anyway. The gun goes off accidentally one day while the employee is working, injuring a non-employee (customer or vendor). The business is not immune from liability.
Liability may depend on whether the employer could reasonably foresee this situation occurring, Hopkins says. According to Froiland, the third-party could potentially sue the employer in this situation, but its liability exposure would probably be no different than it was prior to the effective date of the concealed carry law.
"It's not clear to me that [the employer] in this situation has done anything wrong (negligently or otherwise) which would subject it to liability," Froiland said. "In any event, it seems that the employer has the same risks of third-party liability after the effective date."
Property owners, businesses, and employers may prohibit concealed weapons by posting proper signage. Those prohibiting concealed weapons will not enjoy immunity from liability that arises from that decision under the new law.
But, according to Froiland and Hopkins, that does not necessarily mean prohibiting concealed weapons will lead to increased liability when the law takes effect, at least not for employers who wish to prohibit concealed weapons in the workplace.

I grew up with the breed & have owned my own dogs now for the past 10 (going on 11) yrs. I have my own APBTs plus a few rescues that I've taken in through our APBT rescue. I do not discriminate. I spent much time, before I had so many dogs, traveling & meeting fellow APBT owners, going to shows, & I still read anything I can ge my hands on & never stop researching & learnig.
I love the APBT breed & have devoted my life to the preservation of the breed & to to education of the public on these wonderful dogs.

Try you must, as Yoda would say. A "Star Wars" lightsaber school in the San Francisco area is offering lessons in twirls, figure eights, behind-the-backs and other tools of the lightsaber trade. While most Jedi camps and classes are aimed at young children, this one is for adults who enjoy the escapism.
"We're kind of indulging in their childhood and that sort of fantasy of being a real Jedi," said Alain Bloch, the camp's instructor and a "Star Wars" fencing enthusiast.
Darth Vader makes appearances at the class, and Bloch's ultimate goal for his Padawan pupils is for them to be able to reenact the entire five-minute, nearly 90-move battle scene between Luke Skywalker and his nemesis/father, Darth Vader, at the end of "Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back."
What do the students say to critics of their hobby?
"If you move forward and act like, 'Hey, this is me, this is what I like,' then nobody's gonna question you," noted a proud participant wielding a yellow lightsaber.

DJ Screw: The "Chopped & Screwed" Urban Culture & Genre Will Live On For Eternity
Chopped and Screwed (sometimes called screwed and chopped or slowed and throwed) refers to a technique of remixing hip hop music which developed in the Houston hip hop scene in the 1990s. This is accomplished by slowing the tempo down to between 60 – 70 quarter-note beats per minute and applying techniques such as skipping beats, record scratching, stop-time, and affecting portions of the music to make a "chopped-up" version of the original.
Preceding the early 1990s, most Southern hip hop was upbeat and fast, like Miami bass and crunk. In Houston, a different approach of slowing music down, rather than speeding it up, developed. It is unknown when DJ Screw definitively created "screwed and chopped" music: although people around Screw have indicated any time between 1984 to 1991, Screw said he started slowing music down in 1990 and also in Tulsa Oklahoma Dj Dinero And Dj Z-Nasty helped popularize Chopped And Screwed music in the Mid South.[2] There is no debate, however, that DJ Screw invented the music style."[3] He discovered that dramatically reducing the pitch of a record gave a mellow, heavy sound that emphasized lyrics to the point of almost storytelling. After messing around with the sound for a while Screw started making full length "Screw Tapes". At first the music was only referred to as "Screw music", was limited to the South Side of Houston, and was seen as laid-back driving music. As Screw's tapes started to gain popularity he started selling his tapes for around $10.[4] Screw was known to feature some of Houston's most renowned rappers from the South Side. This eventually led to the formation of the Screwed Up Click.
Between 1991 and 1992, there was a large increase in use of purple drank in Houston.[1] Purple drank has been considered to be a major influence in the making of and listening to chopped and screwed music due to its perceived effect of slowing the brain down, giving slow, mellow music its appeal. DJ Screw, however, repeatedly denounced the claim that one has to use purple drank to enjoy screwed and chopped music. Screw, a known user of purple drank, said he came up with chopped and screwed music when high on marijuana.[2]
In the mid-1990s, chopped and screwed music started to move to the North Side of Houston and to such people as DJ Michael "5000" Watts[1] and OG RON C. It wasn't long until a rivalry between north and south Houston started over who were the "originators" and who were the "adopters". Michael "5000" Watts always gave credit to DJ Screw as the originator of chopped and screwed music. It is also believed that Michael "5000" Watts came up with the term "screwed and chopped". As time passed and a younger generation got into the style, there became less worry over who was an originator of the style and who was an adopter. In the late 1990s, with the help of P2P groups such as Napster, chopped and screwed music spread to a much wider audience.
In 1999, PSK-13, an associate of DJ Screw and the Screwed Up Click (also a member of the South Park Coalition), released a screwed version of his album Pay Like You Weigh 5000 [5] which was one of the earliest examples of a full length album being given the treatment.
On November 16, 2000 DJ Screw died from a lethal combination of codeine and alcohol. Shortly after the passing of Screw, screwed and chopped music spread all over the southern United States.[citation needed] Later in 2000, the Memphis based group Three 6 Mafia came out with their song "Sippin' on Some Syrup". The song at first was just a minor hit but later became one of Three 6 Mafia's most popular songs.
In 2001, 8Ball & MJG released a screwed version of their album Space Age 4 Eva (2000). The mixing was handled by Michael "5000" Watts of the famed Swishahouse, being the first screwed and chopped release on a major label.
In 2003, David Banner released a screwed and chopped version of his album Mississippi: The Album, being a first by an artist from Mississippi.
In 2005, the first screwed and chopped albums were added to the iTunes shop catalog.
In 2006 Chamillionaire's The Sound of Revenge (Screwed & Chopped) by OG Ron C became the most successful screwed and chopped album to date.
In 2010 a Chopped n Screwed app was released for the iPhone and iPod Touch in the iTunes App Store. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/chopped-n-screwed/id396656782?mt=8
In 2011,University of Houston Libraries acquired over 1,000 albums owned by DJ Screw.Some of the albums will be part of an exhibit in early 2012 and the rest available for research in 2013.[6]
Today it is still common to see screwed and chopped versions of mixtapes and albums released alongside the regular speed versions, sometimes in a double disc format with one disc screwed and the other regular speed.
Chopped and screwed music was created by DJ Screw in the early 1990s. Part of the chopped & screwed music scene is a beverage known as purple drank (the active ingredients being codeine and promethazine; the color purple, which is usually present as a dye in the "drank," has also become a symbolic color or motif to identify chopped and screwed versions of songs or whole albums. The 2007 documentary film Screwed In Houston produced by VBS/Vice Magazine details the history of the Houston rap scene and the influence of the Chopped and Screwed sub-culture on Houston hip-hop.

1967 Z28 engines never received the finned balancer. My company, CHP has rebuild dozens of original '67 302 engines, judged at the Camaro Nationals many restored and original '67 Z28's and never has one turned up on an original engine. They were used in 1966 and have been seen on the '66 L79 engines. Have been running the national registry on these cars now for 30 years. Yep, since 1988 and all of my data shows it was never used. I hope this helps.Jerry
I agree with BA Camaro about all kinds of parts used on Camaros. My cousin went to work at the Norwood plant in 1968 and worked there until the plant closed. He told me they put them together with what parts they had. A lot of miss matched colors and whatever. He said in all his years at Norwood he never the word quality it was just production. Get em out the door and keep the line moving.Richard

Double points for final three races or none at all - Ecclestone
Bernie Ecclestone wants Formula One's controversial double points rule to be rolled out over the final three races of the year or be dropped all together.
Earlier this month the FIA announced that next year's season finale in Abu Dhabi would be worth double points in order to increase the chances of the title going down to the wire. The rule has not gone down well with fans and earlier this week Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo predicted it would last just one year before being scrapped.
Ecclestone, however, says Formula One's strategy group (featuring representatives from the FIA, FOM, Ferrari, Red Bull, McLaren, Mercedes, Williams and Lotus) may choose to scrap the rule as early as January.
"Personally my preference would be for the final three races to be worth double points," Ecclestone told The Daily Telegraph. "But it may well be that the rule is cancelled altogether at the next [strategy group] meeting in January."
The rule was supported by television companies which suffered disappointing viewing figures at the end of the 2013 season dominated by Sebastian Vettel. Ecclestone thinks the final three races should award double points or none at all.
"I think it should be the final three races or nothing. The final three races would mean the championship is kept interesting for everyone - fans, press and television - right until the end."
