I liked it when it was in the Ford GT40 too
Kinda weird that it would get more horsepower from higher octane. Generally the lowest octane that you can run at max compression without the fuel detonating will give you the best performance. If it was possible that the engine had a fancy way of adjusting the ignition timing, air temp, as well as half the engine with different fuels then it would make sense.
Edit: Yeah... didn't realize this had all already been discussed
you're such a douche.

THIS THREAD IS NEW AGAIN I WILL HAVE A LOOK.
Dont make me live up to my name.
this koenigsegg guys arent gonna fool me ,america make the best engines in the world , most kids arent going to agree on that , but for your info , most v8 engines built all around the world believe it or not are based in american design, american engines have the best architecture and are built for durability and using a long piston running distance for high torque helping to develope low rpm to make hp diferent from ferrari engines that need to rev the engine high to make hp , and most kids think this as an atrribute because they dont know a bit of what they are talking about , because when an engine revs high it gets very stressed , thats the reason why no body use f1 engines on the street, because they need to rev too high to make hp and in a weight of a normal 2000 lbs car the engine woudnt do much , and it will last days if not hours lol, and silly kids put f1 engines in top of the world,, f1 engines only belong to the track , this engines are like a toy that you can play with, european engines in general will never ever hold up in a recistence contest vs american engines + american ones are so much cheaper and ironically so durable , and the reason is obvious , it all has to do with rpm abuse , ,example lets see a tall guy walking next to a short guy the tall guy takes an step while the short one had taken 2 steps , and then whom is gonna get tired first, of course the short one, in this case the short one is the ferrari, thats why you see so may ferraris at a shop, getting fixed,american engines do the same job at half strees, there isnt a question to be asked about durability issues when we talk about european and american engines , aamerican engines will always last longer, so koenigsegg beieve it or not still is using ford base racing block for their build they just wont accept because of their arrogance, for instance the senvo ST1 another dinamarca supercar that its turbo and supercharged at the same time it uses a SBC LS engine for your info the very best v8 engine worldwide ever built and get mad if you want to i dont care, and they also kept quiet when jay leno asked them for the engine precedence lol hey im not american but we have to agree here , that anythig from the USA is well built and not just car engines , anything
I believe Ethanol or flexi fuel engines will be the future for supercars as guzzling large amounts of bioethanol is more politically correct than guzzling fossil fuels.

A new production of the life of famed poet and activist Gwendolyn Brooks will be performed in a variety of media.
“It’s a live biopic, a music video, a poetry performance, all mixed up into one giant onstage show,” says Sarah Fornace, co-artistic director of No Blue Memories: The Life of Gwendolyn Brooks.
No Blue Memories: The Life of Gwendolyn Brooks will be performed at the Chan Centre for Performing Arts at the University of British Columbia, on Feb. 24.
Connection to community
After being asked to create a live cinematic piece around Gwendolyn Brooks as part of the Chicago Humanities Festival, the performance collective, design studio and film and video production company Manual Cinema reached out to poets and scholars. They found Eve L. Ewing and Nate Marshall, who have a deep connection to Gwendolyn Brooks’ writing and legacy, says Fornace.
“This really is a dream team of Chicago based artists who all have a connection to poetry,” says Fornace, who helped found Manual Cinema in Chicago, USA with four other members in 2010. “The performance, written by Ewing and Marshall, weaves Gwendolyn Brooks’ poetry, such as ‘Eventide’, the first poem that she wrote as a child and was published, into the story of her life”.
Fornace also explains that Ewing and Marshall not only wrote the script but also pointed out specific places in Chicago important to the story so that an accurate vision of the city could be recreated for the show.
No Blue Memories: The Life of Gwendolyn Brooks features a six-piece live band and an original score from Jamila Woods and Ayanna Woods.
“We have an extraordinary group of artists on stage,” says Fornace.
Life and times of Gwendolyn Brooks
“She led such an extraordinary life by being an artist. She was part of this community of black intellectuals and artists that all did extraordinary things,” Fornace comments.
Born and raised in Chicago, Brooks (1917–2000) was an artist and a mentor who won a Pulitzer Prize for her poem “Annie Allen.” She became the first black woman to become a poetry consultant for the Library of Congress, was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and was appointed Poet Laureate of Illinois in 1968. Although Fornace admits she wasn’t too familiar with the famed poet before doing the show, upon rereading Brooks’ work, Fornace saw its value.
“Gwendolyn Brooks was incredibly important to the world and United States,” Fornace says.
But Brooks was also significant locally in Chicago, Fornace points out. As soon as the show was announced people started making remarks on how Gwendolyn Brooks impacted their lives.
Locals remembered how Brooks came to their graduation or how she gave out prize money for winning a poetry contest in their community.
“Even after she won the Pulitzer she was still supporting a lot of the local youth and schools around Chicago,” says Fornace.
Promises of inspiration
Manual Cinema combines shadow puppetry, overhead projectors, sound design, actors and live music to tell a multimedia story of Brooks.
“It’s an incredible show with a beautiful and emotional storyline,” says Fornace of No Blue Memories.
“I think the audience will be on their feet during sections of it and will cry during sections of it,” says Fornace.
Fornace hopes after seeing the show, audiences will be inspired to go back and read her poetry as well.

Tel2 provides a dial tone but Tel1 does not.
I received an email that states that starting on 12/1/21 phones connected to the Tel2 connector of the modem will not be able to complete calls and that I should check my phone modem and move the phone connection to Te1 if it is currently connected to Tel2. My phone is connected to Tel2 and when I move it to Tel1 I do not get a dial tone. Is there a reset procedure that I am supposed to perform after switching the connection? I have an Arris TM-3402A which is only used for phone (I have another modem that is used for internet).

The 2009 influenza pandemic was due to a swine-origin influenza strain that was a reassortant of human, avian, and swine genes. The viral ribonucleoprotein is composed of a North American avian-derived PA and PB2, a human H3N2-derived PB1, and a classical swine-derived NP (3
). In general, the activity of avian polymerase complexes in mammalian cells is very poor, but some mutations are known to enhance activity, including PB2 158G, 627K, and 701N (5
). The 2009 pH1N1 viruses replicate and transmit efficiently in humans but have the avian-type low-pathogenicity residues 158E, 627E, and 701D in PB2, suggesting the involvement of other residues for efficient replication of pH1N1 in the mammalian host. Two residues in PB2 have been identified which contribute to pH1N1 polymerase activity: residue 591R, which locates close to residue 627 in the three-dimensional structure (19
), and residue 271A, which is highly conserved among human viruses and enhances avian polymerase activity in mammalian cells (2
). However, in this study using a reporter gene assay, we found that the pH1N1 PA has a stronger impact on polymerase activity than the pH1N1 PB2 in mammalian cells. Although both the PA and PB2 of the pH1N1 virus are of avian virus origin, the avian Nan virus polymerase containing Cal PA was over 20 times more active than the Nan complex containing Cal PB2 at higher temperatures (A, lanes 7 and 9). Interestingly, the human Aichi and the highly pathogenic VN1203 and 1918 virus polymerase components function as efficiently with Cal PA as with their homologous complexes, unlike with Cal PB2, which resulted in significantly reduced activity (). Replacement of Cal PA with that of the Nan, Aichi, VN1203, or 1918 virus resulted in reduced activity of the Cal polymerase complex, indicating that Cal PA contains residues that, together with Cal PB2, complement polymerase activity in the mammalian host.
Enhanced activity of the Nan polymerase complex provided by Cal PA was observed at 37°C and 39°C but not at 34°C (A, lane 9). However, the additional inclusion of Cal PB2 enhanced activity at 34°C (lane 12), suggesting that Cal PB2 contains residues required for the complex to be active at lower temperatures. Because the Aichi, VN1203, and 1918 virus complexes containing Cal PA were active at lower temperatures, it is likely that one or more PB2 residues present in the 2009 pH1N1, seasonal human virus, and highly pathogenic avian viruses is necessary for activity at lower temperatures. In fact, we previously showed that the PB2 E627K mutation strongly activates the Nan polymerase complex even at 34°C (2
). Cal PB2 591R, which is considered to compensate for the lack of 627K, may allow for low-temperature activity of the pH1N1. Replacement of Cal PB2 with that of Nan reduced activity slightly at 37 or 39°C (about 2- to 2.5-fold) but strongly at 34°C (25-fold; A, lanes 1 and 2), which clearly indicates that PB2 from a conventional avian virus does not contain the residue(s) required for low-temperature activity. The underlying mechanism for the temperature dependence of the influenza polymerase is unknown, although interactions with host inhibitory or enhancing factors could be an interesting subject for future research (20
The role of PA in host adaptation is not as well characterized as the role of PB2. However, a recent study indicates the PA mutation T97I increases polymerase activity of an avirulent avian virus in a reporter gene assay, as well as virulence in a mouse model (28
). In our study, we have shown that multiple residues, especially 85I, 186S, and 336M in Cal PA, contribute to the enhancement of avian polymerase activity in mammalian cells, which is essential for mammalian host adaptation. The addition of each mutation to Nan PA significantly increased Nan polymerase activity (). However, individual mutations in Cal PA at positions 85, 186, or 336 to Nan residues only slightly decreased Cal polymerase activity, supporting the idea that multiple residues in Cal PA contribute to enhanced Cal polymerase activity in mammalian cells. PA possesses the endonuclease activity required for the “cap-snatching” mechanism (4
), and the crystal structures of two domains of PA have been determined (4
). The amino acids that increased polymerase activity, 85I, 186S, and 336M, are all surface exposed on their domains. 85I and 186S are located in the domain containing the endonuclease active site. While 186S is located on the opposite side of the structure from the endonuclease active site, it is part of a proposed bipartite nuclear localization signal, residues 124 to 139 and 186 to 247 (23
). The residue 85I is located on the surface adjacent to the endonuclease site. The branched, hydrophobic isoleucine at this position in the pH1N1 PA is very different from the polar neutral threonine in most other strains and could potentially affect the endonuclease activity of PA. The residue 336M is located on the opposite end of PA from the PB1-binding site, and no clear function is linked to this residue. However, because of its location at the surface of the molecule, it could be involved in interactions with cellular proteins that inhibit or enhance polymerase activity. It is likely that multiple mutations contribute to the highly active Cal polymerase through multiple complementary unknown mechanisms.
The PA 85I, 186S, and 336M mutations identified by reporter gene assay actually enhanced viral polymerase activity when introduced into viruses, confirming that these mutations in an avian PA can enhance avian virus polymerase activity in mammalian host cells. The 85I and 336M mutations strongly enhanced viral protein synthesis at an early stage of infection (). The virus containing the 85I mutation grew faster and to a higher titer than WT virus at 37 and 39°C, which is consistent with the reporter gene assay results. However, viruses containing the 186S or 336M mutations did not show enhanced multistep growth in A549 cells. While the 336M mutation enhanced polymerase activity more than the 85I mutation as determined by the reporter gene assay or viral protein synthesis, the enhanced polymerase activity by the 336M mutation did not directly reflect the multistep growth of the mutant virus. This result may suggest that the mutation at residue 336 caused a deficiency in a process other than transcription, possibly through unbalanced genome replication, impaired transport of nucleocapsids, or defective virus assembly.
When we examined pathogenicity in vivo
, we found that none of the mutations resulted in lethal infection, in sharp contrast to the PB2 627K mutation (2
), which indicates that these PA residues are host adaptation but not pathogenicity factors in the mammalian host, as expected from the fact that wild-type pH1N1 viruses are not pathogenic to mice. However, the 336M mutation increased morbidity, as evidenced by weight loss and lung pathology, as well as the lung viral titer at late times after infection. Unexpectedly, the 85I mutation, which increased multistep growth in cultured cells, did not enhance in vivo
virus growth or morbidity in mice. These data may support the idea that pathogenicity is not simply reflected by better virus growth as determined in cultured cells but also by the host response, including elevated cytokine release and inflammation, which can then affect lung pathology and virus growth.
Sequence data analysis indicates that few influenza strains contain one or some of the PA residues 85I, 186S, and 336M (). Although almost all of the pH1N1 viruses contain these three key residues, very few other influenza isolates have these PA residues, regardless of the host. Not one non-pH1N1 strain has all three residues in PA. The majority of the strains containing PA 85I isolated prior to emergence of the 2009 pandemic are avian viruses (13 out of 15 non-pH1N1 viruses). PA 336M can be found in both avian and human isolates. Seventeen human isolates and 12 avian isolates contained PA 336M. Interestingly, multiple highly pathogenic H5N1 human isolates contain PA 336M (A/Hong Kong/483/97, A/Hong Kong/485/97, A/Hong Kong/532/97, and A/Hong Kong/542/97). Although A/Hong Kong/483/97 and A/Hong Kong/485/97 contain PB2 627K, two strains, A/Hong Kong/532/97 and A/Hong Kong/542/97, were pathogenic to mice (15
), lack the previously identified virulence markers in polymerase PB2 158G, 271A, 627K, and 701N and PA 97I genes, and have the PA 336M mutation revealed in this study. Some H5N1 viruses isolated from Hong Kong chickens around the same time also contain PA 336M. Further study is needed to determine the contribution of PA mutations to the highly pathogenic phenotype of H5N1 viruses containing PB2 627E. It is possible that the enhancement of polymerase activity by PA 336M contributes to host adaptation and pathogenicity of these H5N1 viruses, although it is unlikely that this single residue explains the highly pathogenic phenotype of the viruses.
It is not clear when and how the PA 85I, 186S, and 336M mutations were introduced into the swine virus PA gene, as surveillance of swine influenza virus prior to the 2009 pandemic was extremely limited. Also, despite efficient viral replication in miniature pigs, infection with the pH1N1 was asymptomatic, which may explain the lack of detection of the virus in pigs before emergence of the pandemic (13
). This pandemic highlights the need for continued and expanded influenza virus surveillance, especially in swine, which continue to play a major role in the emergence of pandemic influenza A viruses. It should be noted that identification of the polymerase mutations that affect host adaptation provides critical information for identifying potential future pandemic viruses.

Energy and a positive vibe result after a single draw from this cartridge. Like other premium carts, the packaging provides percentages as well as levels by mg. The .5-gram Maui Wowie cart has 441.8 mg of THC and no CBD. Jetty Extracts Gold cartridges start with the usual 510 threads at the bottom.
Are jetty cartridges any good?
It would be best if Jetty makes obvious the lab doing the testing and includes the information on each cartridge. They have tested clean though when independently tested. See our video review below and keep reading on for the more in depth review of Jetty cartridges. I remember Jetty Extracts cartridges from a few years back.
Is jetty extracts gold Maui Wowie the best vape cartridge?
Jetty Extracts Gold Maui Wowie is strong and it doesn’t take much of a vape to enjoy the full flavor. The potency of the Jetty Extracts Maui Wowie is up there and effects set in fast. Energy and a positive vibe result after a single draw from this cartridge. Like other premium carts, the packaging provides percentages as well as levels by mg.
What is the jetty unrefined?
JETTY UNREFINED is 100% live resin that’s uncut and never mixed with distillate. Our premium fresh-frozen cannabis is cryoextracted with minimal processing to preserve more terpenes, cannabinoids, and other natural plant compounds for a true flower high. Premium cartridge with Jetty signature wood tip. Works with any 510-thread battery.
What is the point of live resins if there is THC?
Having said that, the point of live resins is not THC content. In fact, some live resins might actually be slightly lower in THC than conventionally-produced concentrates. The real purpose of live resins is to preserve the terpenes that are lost through the regular decarboxylation process.
What is the best way to make resin?
The easiest and safest way to produce live resin is through the use of a closed-loop extraction system. These systems can run close to five figures so not everyone is going to be able to afford them.
What is the difference between live resin and dried Ganja?
So while ganja-nauts have been dealing with the plant itself for thousands (yes, thousands!) of years, live resin is but a zygote (not even a fetus yet) in comparison. Back in 2013, a small group of growers and extractors had the inspiration to try using fresh-frozen plant matter in their extract instead of the dried and cured variety.
What are live resins and how do they work?
In fact, some live resins might actually be slightly lower in THC than conventionally-produced concentrates. The real purpose of live resins is to preserve the terpenes that are lost through the regular decarboxylation process. That brings us to our next question.
How much live resin in a DAB cartridge?
Normal for a 0.5g. Some gap up top but used to this by now as the wick has probably absorbed that amount and it lies lower in the cartridge chamber below the glass, or so I hope. Live Resin – SLK (Super Lemon Kush) – comes from the Live Resin SLK Tepr Slush Dab concentrate.
How much THC is in SLK live resin dabs?
It’s interesting that the SLK live resin dab itself is 76% -81% THC and this SLK live resin cart is somehow more potent at 83% -92% THC. If the grey-bearded fellows thought to pull a quick one by distilling Live Resin or some other varieties of live resin by adding distillate or cutting the live resin to increase its potency, that would be a shame.
What are the best live resin vape cartridges?
However, for those who enjoy vaping instead of the ways to consume marijuana, we often recommend live resin vape cartridges. For example, one of our favorite live resins comes from Remedy cultivation, 707 Headband. This exclusive strain perfectly balances both a body and cerebral high.
What is a 510 thread?
Simple; it’s the universal thread pitch for pre-filled wax cartridges, dab cartridges, and atomizer heads. Sorry we don’t sell any pre-filled cartridges, however we do have empty cartridges available for sale. The most common use for 510 thread connections is in vape pens, vape pen batteries and vaporizer 510 batteries.
What are weed trucks and live resin carts?
With regards to weed, trucks are pre-filled vape cartridges that join to a vape battery. Live resin carts are just vaped oil cartridges that have been loaded up with live resin rather than a more ordinary cannabis concentrate.
What are live resin trucks and how do they work?
What are live resin carts? With regards to weed, trucks are pre-filled vape cartridges that join to a vape battery. Live resin carts are just vaped oil cartridges that have been loaded up with live resin rather than a more ordinary cannabis concentrate.
How to use a live resin cartridge?
If you need a simpler method to enjoy live resin, have a go at using a nectar authority, which is a less difficult, compact form of a dab rig. Using a vape pen with a live resin cartridge is by a long shot the least complex method. Essentially buy a live tar cart, join it to your battery, and you’re all set.

Technical Vessel Management
Vessel Technical/Engineering Solutions & Support
Admiral Offshore works to create a sustainable safety culture that meets internationally recognised standards across the fleet, industry and region of operations.
The reason for conducting such work is so that the vessels can continue to perform and operate to the highest material standards and readiness when on charter.
Credit must be given to our embarked crews who themselves have managed and completed a wide range of maintenance tasks and for the continued support of our usual key support contractors. The below is an insight on some of the key works performed on each vessel:
SVS Avery – 4 new A/C compressors installed / Fumigation has taken place on board / Bow Thruster Hydraulic motor repaired and Main/Aux Engine 3000 hourly routines completed.
Secondly, on SVS Hawkins – Fumigation has been completed / Anchor D Shackle replacement / Wind Speed and Range reading on the vessels Conning reinstated / Echo sounder replacement and Engine room blower installed.
Lastly, SVS Monck – The vessel has received a fresh coat of paint / Cargo rail repairs after they were damaged on a previous charter / Fwd and Aft Conning Displays repaired and Fumigation conducted on board.
Alphatron Marine attended all three vessels in Lome to ensure that all bridge equipment is operating at full functionality, this was a great achievement as it is rare to have so many vessels collocated to facilitate the works required.
After a very busy few weeks in Lome, the vessels are now looking the part and ready for their next work opportunities.
We have a variety of charter and operating arrangements in place and have the flexibility to deliver a range of solutions in order to meet client needs. We provide support to a variety of market sectors.

The veto override from the state Senate secures the Gloucester Police Department with $75,000 for new communications equipment.
(TNS) — The Massachusetts state Senate has overridden Gov. Charlie Baker's budget veto of a $75,000 package to secure new communications equipment for the Gloucester Police Department.
The veto override — which followed a similar step by the House of Representatives — secures funding for new emergency radios for the police department in the new $41.9 billion fiscal 2019 budget signed into law Gov. Charlie Baker last Thursday, said state Senate Minority Leader Bruce Tarr, R-Gloucester. Tarr said the override passed the Senate on Monday night, and caps a series of budget line items aimed at programs on Cape Ann.
Additional money — $1.3 million for infrastructure and technology for the growing Gloucester Marine Genomic Institute, and $2 million in annual funding for the Fishing Partnership — is included in both the House and Senate versions of an economic development bond bill that gained final Senate approval late Tuesday afternoon, Tarr said.
The GMGI funding would support the Gloucester-based research institute's evaluation of the data it collects, and may include the installation of fiber optic cables, Tarr noted.
The money for the Fishing Partnership, matching the amount called for in the House bill and backed by Rep. Ann-Margaret Ferrante, D-Gloucester, would provide $1 million above the partnership's current annual allocation, Tarr said. The partnership provides health insurance, safety training and other services for fishing families, including more than 700 on Cape Ann.
Tarr noted that steering money to the Fishing Partnership requires an added twist. Funding for the organization is capped at $6 million, but the additional $1 million this year would raise the partnership's total amount to $7 million. So, in addition to pushing for the funding, Tarr also emphasized the need to lift the cap.
"We're trying to make sure that we get the right language in the bill, so that it only gets the money to the partnership, but that it lifts that cap to make it happen," he said.
While the budget funding is in place, the inclusion of the GMGI and Fishing Partnership funding in the economic development bill and its Senate passage Tuesday still don't mean the check is in the mail.
Even upon approval of a bond bill, the release of any of its funding is determined by the governor. Bond bills give the governor authorization to borrow the money to fund projects, Tarr noted, though he is not compelled to do so.
As to state budget money already secured, the $75,000 boost for The Grace Center, a $125,000 allocation – essentially a matching grant – for planning Gloucester's 400th anniversary celebration in 2023, and $25,000 for The Open Door were earmarked by Tarr in the Senate and Ferrante on the House side.
The Senate on Tuesday also gave final legislative approval to a plan that requires the state Division of Marine Fisheries to complete a study of the lobster fishery and provide a recommendation regarding statutory or regulatory changes to allow the processing of lobster parts.
Tarr sponsored an amendment to direct the DMF toward new regulations permitting on-shore processing of lobsters as part of a Senate environmental measure.

It took a couple of years, but an Ohio Supreme Court-appointed panel has developed 56 recommendations related to application of the state's death penalty.
The 22-member panel of judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys, legislators and law enforcement officers was appointed in 2011 by Ohio Supreme Court Chief Justice Maureen O'Connor. The panel released the recommendations during a meeting in Columbus Thursday.
"Ohio would still have capital punishment but I think it would be limited to the worst of the worst cases, which has always been the stated goal of the death penalty in the United States," state Public Defender Timothy Young, who supports many of the proposals, told the Associated Press.
Among those proposals is removing the death penalty option for anyone legally determined to have a "severe mental illness" when a crime is committed or at the time of the scheduled execution.
In addition the death penalty would not be an option simply because a death occurred during the commission of some felonies, including aggravated arson, aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary, kidnapping, and rape.
"I don't think the death penalty should be eliminated, but it could be curbed. If an accidental death occurs when someone is committing a crime, that should be taken into account," said Marietta College student Dylan Staats from Euclid.
At a glance
Some Ohio death penalty panel recommendations:
Remove death penalty option for someone legally diagnosed with "severe mental illness" at the time of the crime or at the scheduled time of execution.
Death penalty would not be an option solely because a death occurred during some felonies, including aggravated arson, aggravated burglary, aggravated robbery, kidnapping and rape.
Prohibit death penalty in cases without DNA or biological evidence, a video recording linking the defendant to a murder, or a voluntary recorded confession.
Create a fund to pay for all prosecution and defense of capital cases.
Source: The Associated Press
As for mental illness being a consideration for not imposing the death penalty, he said that could present a problem.
"It could be hard to prove mental illness at the time a crime was committed," Staats said.
Marietta resident Elsie Bonnette said once a felon is convicted it's often a long time before the death penalty is carried out.
"Even when there is a death penalty sentence, it's so complicated (the convicted felon) may be in prison for years, and (taxpayers) have to take care of their housing, food, and health needs during that time," she said.
Jim Naylor, another Marietta resident, agreed that it can take years before a death sentence is completed. But he would like to see the death penalty eliminated in Ohio.
"No matter how heinous the crime, we're still killing people for no other reason than revenge," he said. "And it can take 20 to 30 years to file appeals against their sentence. I think the sentence should be life imprisonment and bring back the inmate work crews so they could work to pay for their crimes rebuilding our infrastructure."
Another panel recommendation would prohibit the death penalty in cases where DNA or biological evidence is not present, or if a voluntary recorded confession or a video linking the defendant to a murder does not exist.
Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O'Brien, a member of the panel, told the Associated Press that he disagreed with many of the panel's proposals.
"Many of the recommendations are so onerous that you could take Timothy McVeigh, and if he didn't give a videotaped confession, and you didn't have DNA, you couldn't execute Timothy McVeigh," he said.
McVeigh was convicted and executed in 2001 for the bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City, Okla.
The Ohio General Assembly would have to take action in order for some of the panel's recommendations to become law.
Ohio Rep. Andy Thompson, R-Marietta, said he's supported capital punishment.
"I've supported it in the past. Not everyone agrees, but especially in the case of heinous crimes I think it should remain in place," he said. "But I also can appreciate that everyone should be able to prove their innocence. So I'm looking forward to seeing the panel's recommendations."
According to The Associated Press, Ohio has executed 53 men by lethal injection since re-instating the death penalty in 1999. Another execution is scheduled in May.

It Can’t Be August Yet by Matt Albiani
When I was growing up I spent a lot of time with my cousins but as we’ve grown older we’ve gone our separate ways and rarely see each other. However, I still love and care about my family, so I was impressed when his boyfriend posted this brief video that my cousin, Matt Albiani, created. It appears to be based off of a poem he wrote back in 1996.
Check out the video above then leave a comment and like it. 🙂
IT CAN’T BE AUGUST YET, CAN IT?
I DON’T KNOW – I JUST WOKE UP AND LOST TRACK OF TIME.
BUT THE DOOR IS OPEN. AND SO IS THE WINDOW
WHERE I STAND, LEAN OUT
AND LET THE SUN ON MY SHOULDERS
NOW BROWN AND FRECKLED.
I CAN SEE BLUE WATER THROUGH THE TREES
AND WHITE CANVAS SAILS THAT TAKE ME AWAY
TO THE ISLAND ON THE LAKE
WHERE THE SKY IS ALWAYS CLEAR
AND SEPTEMBER NEVER COMES

The Mazda5 microvan posted an “excellent” score in Consumer Reports' ratings, as part of a test in the September issue that featured three different types of family movers.
Also included was the Ford Flex EcoBoost three-row SUV and the redesigned Toyota Sienna minivan, which posted “excellent” and “very good” test scores, respectively.
Although smaller than a standard minivan, the Mazda5 previously earned a Top Pick designation in CR's Annual Auto Issue in the family hauler category.
It has sliding rear doors, a small third-row seat and seating for up to six.
Consumer Reports opted to retest the '5 after it was upgraded for 2010, with electronic stability control.
While both the front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive versions of the Toyota Sienna posted “very good” test scores and it is a very good vehicle, it doesn't measure up to the previous model, which had been CR's top rated minivan for three years.
It is still roomy and efficient with a smooth ride, but a drop in interior fit and finish and quietness, among other things, contributed to an overall drop in score. It now ranks below the top-rated Honda Odyssey and roughly on par with the Kia Sedona.
This is the second version of the Flex tested by Consumer Reports. This version is equipped with Ford's EcoBoost engine, which is turbocharged with direct-fuel-injection technology to optimize performance and fuel economy.
The improvement boosted this version of the Flex to the top of the midsized three-row SUV category, below only the Toyota Highlander Hybrid, which was rated an “Excellent” road test score.
A new model, the Honda Accord Crosstour crossover model was also tested for this issue and posted a “very good” score. Like the Acura ZDX and BMW X6, the more affordable Accord Crosstour has a tall stance and all-wheel drive, but the coupe-ish design hurts visibility, rear access, and cargo space.
While the Mazda5 is recommended, the Toyota Sienna and the Flex EcoBoost are too new for Consumer Reports to have reliability data. CR only recommends vehicles that have performed well in its tests, have at least average predicted reliability based on CR's Annual Auto Survey of its more than seven million print and web subscribers, and performed at least adequately if crash-tested or included in a government rollover test.

Thereís a band I read about whoís gone through lineup changes over the years and whose criteria for picking its new members each time around is height, looks, and talent. And in that order of importance. If the prospective band member is too short or looks too, for lack of a better word, ordinary, he or she doesnít make the cut. Never mind that he or she can write songs, play an instrument well, and maybe even have a degree in music. Come to think of it, practically all of the pop acts we have today are anything but songwriters, instrumentalists, or educated. As an observation, pop divas today seem likely to know more about arranging their wardrobe than their music. But we all know that already.
For a band to choose height and looks over talent may seem amusing but is it at all surprising? Although it is not too common a practice among local bands, that says a lot about how the many new media forms has affected the way musicians have to promote themselves. Itís not just your music now. Itís your make-up and costume, your gear, your press photos, your website, your interactive CDís, your videos, even merchandise. So why should musicians need to package themselves? Is it not enough that he or she just make good music and let the songs promote themselves? For a time, and to an extent, Iíd say it was. But not today.
When MTV was launched in 1981, the very first music video it featured was ďVideo killed the radio starĒ by The Buggles. It was probably just a coincidence but I canít help suspect it was a deliberate choice. For in any case, MTV went on to change the music industry and how we Ďviewí our music. Music now is a complete experience, and as visual as it is aural. And if youíre a groupie, the experience can even be more interactive, but thatís another story.
The point in all this is that we can never go back to the time when it was enough that you had a good song and can play it with your guitar to an audience. To sell more, you have to please more so to make it in the big leagues, the music has to be fronted by a salable image. Remember Milli Vanilli? Music now is a commodity for sale to the masses. Naturally, all the elements of marketing come into play. Branding, image and advertising. Music must be packaged, promoted, and sold on racks much like shampoo on grocery shelves. As a musician, is this deplorable? Of course it is. But this is how the game is played now and the rules donít quite change as fast as pop trends. So rather than change the rules, try playing in a different court.
This is where the independent music scene comes in: bands that throw the dirty finger at record labels and run their own thing. No massive label promotions or media blitzes, mainly just wild gigs in small clubs. No expensive and elaborately choreographed music videos, but creative low fi and low budget productions usually done by indie filmmaker friends.
Itís a totally different world and a departure from the stereotype of a spoiled pop or rockstar. And the fans stay fans longer. Many bands that started out as indie and later broke into the mainstream still pack concert halls and large venues. Pop stars on the other hand, have fans that last only as long as their pimples.
Indie bands are getting more and more attention as of late probably owing to a maturing audience or probably simply because pop has become stale for many because of too much hype and emphasis on style rather than substance. And besides, bias aside, indie bands now sound better, technically and musically.
So is indie the salvation of contemporary music sadly ruled by bubblegum pop and overproduced rap/rock? Could be. A caveat, though remember the 90ís? Alternative music offered the same ray of hope to the masses tired of bland radio programming only to implode when alternative itself became mainstream. The same thing happened with grunge. So itís a cycle then. Vicious but all too real. Still, indie offers the only real alternative today. To survive then as a musician, one must transcend pop trends, go the indie way and stay true to oneís music. Maybe only then can you ride the cycle of waves and last longer than Vanilla Ice.
No fancy looks and painfully choreographed moves, only unfeigned and soulful performance. No glamour and hype, only hard work and substance. No image. Only identity.

Have you at any time puzzled how a cafe can get a dish of pasta to your table in about four minutes when you know it takes ten minutes just to cook the pasta? Does the water on their stoves boil at a increased temperature than the drinking water on yours? Do they know a trick that you never? As a matter of fact, they do.
They parboil, or partially pre-cook their pasta so when an purchase will come in to the kitchen, a cook dinner can change out a dish of perfectly ‘al dente’ pasta in a moment or two. Pre-cooking is a worthwhile approach for home cooks, due to the fact it permits them to pull jointly a fantastic sit-down food in practically no time, no subject how busy their day could have been.
It truly is also a great approach to use when you program to provide pasta for a group. I when catered a party for fifty, in which I had a “pasta bar.” With the support of a single helper, and two propane burners, I served fifty parts of freshly cooked pasta (al dente) without having keeping any person up in the buffet line.
To parboil pasta at property, bring a huge pot of salted h2o (at least 6 quarts) to the boil. cooking gadgets of pasta and stir right up until the pasta wilts (in the circumstance of spaghetti or linguine) and turns into submerged. When the drinking water returns to a full, rolling boil, prepare dinner the pasta for specifically two minutes, then drain, shock in ice drinking water, and drain once again. Notice: Strand pasta like spaghetti or linguine will be brittle, so manage them with treatment.
Place the pasta in a container big sufficient to maintain it, then add enough olive oil to just coat each strand. Cover and refrigerate until finally required. Parboiled pasta will preserve, refrigerated, for four to 6 hours.
Note: Coating pasta with olive oil flies in the confront of standard wisdom that suggests, “By no means coat pasta with olive oil. The sauce is not going to adhere to the pasta.” Nicely, conventional wisdom aside, sauce sticks to parboiled pasta like glue. What else can I say?
When it truly is time to prepare dinner meal, deliver a big pot of salted drinking water to the boil, include the pasta (You may note that the pasta has softened above the time you have had it refrigerated. This is perfectly good.), prepare dinner for 1 or two minutes, then drain in a colander. Be sure to style soon after a minute or so. The pasta cooks rapidly. Serve as you would any pasta that you experienced cooked for eight to 10 minutes.
Again, this is a excellent, worthwhile method to use at home, simply because you can parboil the pasta at a time of day when you might be not juggling a few or 4 other responsibilities, like getting ready a sauce, or a salad. And when it is time to put together the rest of dinner, you may really feel far more confident in the end result, since you can concentrate a lot more of your interest on the other elements of the food.
Try this approach after, and you could be hooked. You might not be serving fifty or sixty people for each night time, but you’ll be cooking just like a chef in a neighborhood Italian cafe.

Comparison of 1 month with 3 months of anticoagulation for a first episode of venous thromboembolism associated with a transient risk factor
- Additional Document Info
- View All
BACKGROUND: The risk of recurrence is lower after treatment of an episode of venous thromboembolism associated with a transient risk factor, such as recent surgery, than after an episode associated with a permanent, or no, risk factor. Retrospective analyses suggest that 1 month of anticoagulation is adequate for patients whose venous thromboembolic event was provoked by a transient risk factor. METHODS: In this double-blind study, patients who had completed 1 month of anticoagulant therapy for a first episode of venous thromboembolism provoked by a transient risk factor were randomly assigned to continue warfarin or to placebo for an additional 2 months. Our goal was to determine if the duration of treatment could be reduced without increasing the rate of recurrent venous thromboembolism during 11 months of follow-up. RESULTS: Of 84 patients assigned to placebo, five (6.0%) had recurrent venous thromboembolism, compared with three of 81 (3.7%) assigned to warfarin, resulting in an absolute risk difference of 2.3%[95% confidence interval (CI) - 5.2, 10.0]. The incidence of recurrent venous thromboembolism after discontinuation of warfarin was 6.8% per patient-year in those who received warfarin for 1 month and 3.2% per patient-year in those who received warfarin for 3 months (rate difference of 3.6% per patient-year; 95% CI - 3.8, 11.0). There were no major bleeds in either group. CONCLUSION: Duration of anticoagulant therapy for venous thromboembolism provoked by a transient risk factor should not be reduced from 3 months to 1 month as this is likely to increase recurrent venous thromboembolism without achieving a clinically important decrease in bleeding.

A small selection of images from the incredible vintage US homoerotic studio Athletic Model Guild (AMG)
Robert Henry (Bob) Mizer March 1922 – May 1992Bob Mizer was a gay filmmaker who began working in the underground film industry in America during the 1940’s and 1950’s, where he was predictably convicted of distributing obscene (i.e. gay) material. However, despite the morals of the time, and pressure from Law enforcement Mizer went on to establish AMG (the Athletic Model Guild) and created some of the most iconic homoerotic images from the period.
The video below features some early wrestling and spanking footage by Bob Mizer, it was recently posted to YouTube, but, believe it or not, was removed because of its content (seems not much has changed in the last 70 years after of – or if it has, it seems to be heading into reverse).Thanks to Scott Norway for drawing this to my attention before it vanished(Mizer’s work pre-dates Title 2257 legislation)
UPDATE / QUESTION
Dose anyone have any information as to what has happened to the AMG website? It appears to have been taken down
The Athletic Model Guild, or AMG, was founded by gay pornography pioneer Bob Mizer in December 1945. During those post-war years, United States censorship laws allowed women, but not men, to appear in various states of undress in what were referred to, with a wink, as “art” photographs. Mizer began his business by taking pictures of men that he knew, both gay and straight. His subjects would often pose for pictures, which, while ostensibly meant to illustrate fitness tips and the like, were clearly produced and published as homoerotic material.
Although much of AMG’s material was made up of beefcake posing, many iconic male on male spanking images from the 195o’s and 1960’s originate from AGM, who still sell their videos through their website AthleticModelGuild.com also a lot of their imagery is very evocative of spanking and corporal punishment.Please do not go to AMG look for material including realistic or severe spanking, but rather to visit a different and more innocent world and view the material which entertained gay men of our father’s and grandfather’s generations.To me, the very innocence of AGM’s pictures and movies have an innate charm and eroticism which today’s far more explicit material, for all is other virtues, has lostThe first few pictures are from Military School Initiation staring Chuck Steury, Ernie Matthews as the pledge masters and Bob Jackson and Monte Hanson as the pledges. Monte Hanson, who’s looks were not unlike those of Sting’s Matt Mills, was on of the most famous of the early AGM models and Military School Initiation forms part of the compilation DVD “The Complete Monte Hanson”
Fast forward to the 1980’s and AMG spankings were in colour! Spanking had become a regular feature and AMG currently offer 41 compilation spanking DVDs full of 5 and 10 minute spanking scenes of differing quality.Chris Todd (who famously got his butt repeatedly spanked in Filmco’s Spanking Master Part 1) and Jeff Mcbride fool about as Master and slave in one of AMG’s 1980’s scenesAlong with many others, Skooter Edwards (above) appeared in a number of spanking scenes for AMG in the 1980’s six of which are on the AMG compilation disc
As interesting additional image the list of symbols below was how Bob Mizer kept a record of the various models virtues, flaws and proclivitiesNote: Some, although not all of these images were originally posted to the much missed M_MSpanking Group.
The pictures appearing here predate 18.USC.2257 requirements

Last weekend was soooo busy. I had 5 shoots running 4 days straight with some of them going 3hrs+. Phewww that’s a lot of shooting! I’ve been trying to find time to post on here but haven’t had a chance yet. Plus I’d like to have the image done as part of a set :) However, I like this photo so much I couldn’t wait! This was shot as part of a editorial for new fashion designer Jennifer Lau. Jennifer contacted me about doing a shoot and when I saw the clothes, I already knew where I was going to do it. I’m looking forward to seeing more work from her soon!
Check out the first photo of the set! The rest will be coming shortly! And in keeping with my photographing of celebrity look-alikes, (first I had Nolan who resembled Nicholas Brendon), here I have model Jordan who in this shot has an uncanning resemblance to Ashton Kutcher. Yes? No? Maybe? Let me know your thoughts!

Background: Cardiovascular abnormalities in infants of diabetic mothers (IDMs) occur in the form of congenital heart diseases (CHD) and cardiomyopathy.
Aim of the Work: We hypothesized that two dimensional speckle tracking imaging (STI) and pulsed wave tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) may uncover subtle decrease in myocardial function in IDM compared to infants of non –diabetics.
Patients and Methods: This study was a Prospective descriptive study conducted at Ain shams University Children’s Hospital Pediatric cardiology unit during the period from June 2017 till June 2017. Thirty neonates born to diabetic mothers were recruited. They were further subdivided into 2 groups; Infants of gestational diabetic mothers (IGDM) and infants of pregestational diabetic mothers (IPGDM). They were all examined at less than 7 days of life. This group was compared to a group of age and sex matched controls.
Patients underwent conventional echocardiography, tissue Doppler Imaging (TDI) and two dimensional speckle tracking imaging (STI).
Results: All IDMs had normal cardiac dimensions and global cardiac functions as controls, IVS (P=0.434), LVED (P=0.318), EF (P=0.291), LVFS(P=0.644) and GLS(P=0.240) .However , Infants of diabetics had an evidence of LV dysfunction proved by prolonged Tei index(MPI) (p=0.018). This subtle affection of myocardial function was more prominent in infants of pre-gestational diabetic mothers when compared to infants of gestational DM mothers(P=0.004).
Conclusion: In infants of diabetic mothers without morphological cardiac changes by conventional echocardiography, subtle affection of myocardial functions may occur which can be detected by TDI derived myocardial performance index (MPI) .Neither conventional assessment of myocardial functions, nor STI are sensitive tools in detecting these changes. Infants of pre-gestational DM mothers are at risk of more profound affection of myocardial function than infants of gestational DM mothers.

This is the most powerful realization of this drama I have ever seen.
Many "stagy" productions come across on screen as little more than aides memoires--referring the viewers back to the 'real' production.
Brook manages to create an intense, even overwhelming cinematic experience from this condensed and almost rarefied production, combining Bizet's music with a balletic performance of the drama. He has tried more than once to make successful film out of great stage productions (Marat/Sade, Mahabharata)--this is by far the greatest success *as film.*

24 days to Camp Rantoul
Counting down the 50 most important Illini
No. 24: Justin Hardee, wide receiver
Why he’s important: A year ago, Hardee was a defensive back. Now he is the only player on the Illinois squad who can boast about topping the 100-yard mark during the spring game. His six catches for 104 yards included an impressive 33-yard reception he pulled in on an underthrown ball by Reilly O’Toole. Hardee was a bright spot at times (namely the Charleston Southern game when he hauled in five passes for 99 yards) during his true freshman season. He finished the season with 17 receptions for 192 yards. He will wear No. 84 this fall after sporting No. 19 last season. Whether the new number presents a bigger production year from Hardee, he is permanently entrenched now in the wide receivers corps.
Fast fact: Hardee had most of the Mid-American Conference interested in his services. Until Tim Beckman got the job at Illinois. When Tim Beckman arrived at Illinois, a scholarship was waiting for the Cleveland native who prepped at Glenville, the same school that produced former Ohio State standouts Troy Smith and Ted Ginn Jr.
Tomorrow: No. 23

World oil prices tumbled to one-month lows, losing over a dollar a barrel in London as speculative funds bailed out in response to an easing of supply fears and tensions in Iraq. New York's main contract, light sweet crude for October delivery, dipped 16 cents to 42.12 dollars per barrel in late deals on the New York Mercantile Exchange a day after a 90-cent drop. The price of London's benchmark Brent North Sea crude oil for delivery in October slumped 1.03 dollars to 39.61 dollars per barrel in closing deals, the lowest level for one month. "The falls (in London) follow yesterday's movement in New York, on signs of greater stability in Iraq," said Prudential Bache broker Christopher Bellew. New York trade was uneventful. "I think a lot of big traders are on vacation with the (Labor Day) holiday coming up and the Republican Convention" ongoing in the city, said Phil Flynn at Alaron Trading. But Flynn said he sees little room for prices to fall after a drop of more than seven dollars since the all-time high of August 20. "We'll probably see traders slowly start pushing the market back up," he said predicting a range of between 40 and 45 dollars. "The market has priced in all the good news, has corrected enough," he added. "We'll start worrying about the winter heating season. We've never faced a heating season with prices so high", informs Channelnewasia. Axccording to Bloomberg,Crude oil futures rose for a second session in New York after a blast damaged an oil pipeline in Iraq, renewing concern that violence may reduce supply from the Middle East's fifth-largest oil producer. Saboteurs caused the blast yesterday on the pipeline that links the Rumaila and Zubayr oil fields, Al-Hayat newspaper reported, citing an official from the South Oil Co. Iraqi exports in the Persian Gulf are unaffected, said three agents who provide services for tanker owners. Oil has fallen about $6 a barrel since reaching a record $49.40 a barrel on Aug. 20. ``The pipelines are having a little bit of an effect on oil prices,'' said Michael Fitzpatrick, vice president of energy risk management with Fimat USA in New York. ``When you come down $6 in a week there is going to be a little bargain hunting.'' Crude oil for October delivery traded up 29 cents at $43.47 a barrel at 10:01 a.m. on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Prices are 38 percent higher than they were a year ago. The International Petroleum Exchange in London was closed for a holiday. Vessels at the Basra terminal, the larger of Iraq's two export facilities in the Gulf, are loading at a combined rate of 60,000 to 65,000 barrels an hour, or about 1.5 million barrels a day, said the three agents, who asked not to be identified. The terminal's capacity is about 1.6 million barrels a day, they said. When an Iraqi militia threatened to blow up oil pipelines this month, oil prices shot up. Yesterday, when reports that pipelines in Southern Iraq had been damaged by insurgents reached the New York Mercantile Exchange, the market shrugged and prices sank The market mood has shifted dramatically in a matter of weeks. Instead of vaulting higher on bad news, prices are spiraling downward as speculators sell their futures positions because of fear that prices will go lower still, analysts said. As prices ratchet down, automatic selling ensues as traders fear getting caught holding high-priced contracts in a slumping market. The closing price for oil for October delivery was $42.28 per barrel yesterday, down 90 cents from Friday's close. The market peaked at a record of nearly $49 per barrel on Aug. 19. While oil prices have since eased, they remain higher than a year ago. In inflation-adjusted dollars, prices remain far below the peak of 1981. Some analysts said they did not expect the downward trend in the market to last much longer and predicted that oil prices would eventually climb again. However, they offered a wide range of predictions on how sharp any rebound would be, reports the Washington Post.

2021 has gifted some of the biggest UFC events to its fans in its course of history, and much of their courtesy is credited to the way the global mixed martial arts top drawer promotes its fights.
The signature numbered events of UFC has always seen pay-per-view sales in the hundred-thousands, and some of those counts even skyrocket past the million mark- a prime example of how the company has become astronomically successful in selling its fights.
Now, any hardcore UFC fan or any other MMA promotion or even a die-hard fan of combat sports, in general, will be excited for the most elite of the elite fights that the promotions or sanctioning bodies bring to the calendar, as well as the option of waging on your favourite fighter and to make some good cash.
The good news is, if you are from India and are a fan of UFC, you can now get a taste of UFC betting and an array of options are presented to them. However, to get an authentic experience of UFC betting in India, the bookmaker Royal Panda is one of the most popular in India that you can try out.
This year has already seen some massive UFC fights already, with PPV sales clocking over a million and below here are three of the highest-selling UFC PPVs of 2021:
2021 started off with a bang, and the bang was one of the most anticipated fights in UFC’s history- the rematch between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier at UFC 257. The two had clashed for the first time in a featherweight bout at UFC 178 back in September 2014, with McGregor picking up a win.
Poirier vs McGregor 2, the main event of UFC 257 on 24th January saw a whopping 1.6 million pay-per-view buys, with the fight ending in Poirier avenging his loss from seven years ago, picking up a 2nd round TKO victory over ‘The Notorious’.
The mixed martial arts fandom had their focus on UFC 261 on 24th April as another much-anticipated rematch was slated to be its main event- UFC Welterweight champion Kamaru Usman vs the ‘BMF’ belt holder Jorge Masvidal, nine months after their first encounter at UFC 251 in July last year saw Usman picking up a unanimous decision victory.
This time, many thought that ‘Gamebred’, the record holder for the fastest knockout in UFC history would bounce back and could potentially be crowned as the new welterweight king and the hype surrounding the bout drew 700k PPV buys. However, the rematch saw a repetition of the results as ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ knocked out Masvidal in the 2nd round.
While any UFC fight featuring Conor McGregor is expected to clock gigantic PPV buys, this time the hype was doubled with Poirier establishing himself as one of the best lightweights in the world, and on the heels of the two agreeing on a trilogy fight just after UFC 257, all eyes were on 10th July to see the two friend-turned-rivals lock horns for the third time.
The excitement for Poirier vs McGregor 3 increased by leaps and bounds with ‘Mystic Mac’ getting into his renowned trash talking persona and the heated press conference theatrics that fueled the fire between him and Poirier, UFC 264 saw a stupendous 1.8 million PPV buys, making it the second biggest-selling pay-per-view after UFC 229. ‘The Diamond’ was the one walking out of the cage as a winner after McGregor fractured his left leg in the first round.

Working together, teammates are making strides toward lowering 30-day readmissions - the number-one quality and patient goal of the System.
Lowering 30-day readmissions is the number-one quality and patient goal of the System.
“When someone leaves a hospital, the last thing they want is to have to come back,” said John E. Barkley, MD, FCCP, chief medical officer, Continuing Care Services at Carolinas HealthCare System. “Over the years we’ve seen incremental improvements in our 30-day readmittance rates, and we’re definitely getting better. We’re aiming for the top percentile, and we’re taking the right steps.”
Helping patients who often have multiple chronic conditions understand how critical it is to pay attention to care instructions and lifestyle choices helps address the issue of readmission. According to Dr. Barkley, reports show two-thirds of traditional Medicare recipients have multiple chronic conditions, with 4 million of them having six or more.
“It can be difficult for patients to know what to do, so health literacy is huge,” said Dr. Barkley. “It’s key that we give patients the right information and make sure they really understand how the various medications they’re taking work together. Making sure they do the things, on their own, that are going to help them is a critical task.”
Dr. Barkley and James Hunter, MD, CMO, co-chair The Readmissions Work Group. The group of 30 includes representatives from the ambulatory environment, nursing homes and home health agencies. They will meet monthly to plot next steps over the next several years. “The expected ratio for 30-day readmissions is no more than 5 percent,” said Dr. Hunter. “That’s our target.”
“There are some things we can do as a System to help,” said Dr. Barkley. “Reconciling medications, giving patients timely access to follow-up appointments and ensuring warm hand-offs to specialists. We feel that these actions, along with aggressively engaging people in our quality operation and leaders in these areas, will help us move forward.”

Hello, dear friends,
Yes, I’m traveling again with a very busy itinerary this time. While here in Paris, I completed a book cover shoot for a major publisher but have also spent much of the last week showing my sister the sights. We’ve had numerous adventures (many involving pastry and ice cream), and the weather and spring bloom couldn’t have been prettier. Since most traditional spring photos feature lots of pink blossoms, I thought I’d share some of the other colors that are also brightening up the days. But don’t worry, of course I captured the pink blossoms to for you to see and those will be coming up next. :)
Thank you, as always, for your visits and comments. Life on the road can have its challenges and your presence in my thoughts is like carrying a bit of home with me.
p.s. I’m sharing on Instagram more frequently than I’m able to post here so do follow along!
Spring greetings, dear friends!
As promised, images celebrating the delights of our spring garden. Though, to be honest, these were photographed last April – the garden is blooming even earlier this year but as I’d never shared these photos, I thought you’d enjoy seeing them. The ranunculus, parrot tulip and akebia vine are from the farm of my dear friend Erin and the rest were cut from right outside.
Spring is incredibly precious, isn’t it, with its symbolism of growth and rebirth? Life has been challenging and bittersweet here of late so the sunshine, flowers and birdsong bring welcome joyful moments. And I’m awfully pleased that spring danced in early for soon I will be traveling again and I hate missing even a single bloom. Adventures await and before long I’ll be taking you to new locations as well as familiar favorites, all graced with spring beauty.
Until then, many more spring images to come. My hope is that you are experiencing such wonderful explosions of nature where you are or savoring the last sweet days of summer down under.
with love and gratitude that you are in my life,
I wish each of you and those you love a year of great happiness, abundant health, creative fulfillment and success. May all your dreams blossom into joyful reality.

Geriatrics is the subspecialty of internal medicine that provides primary care to older adults. Physical health tends to decline with age, and geriatricians work to manage such age-related concerns as chronic illness, frailty, multiple medications, and declining mental health to keep seniors as active and independent as possible.
Some of the most common concerns seen by a geriatrician include:
- Mobility issues, including the need for canes and walkers, as well as preventing falls
- Osteoporosis, a weakening of the bones, which affects as many as a quarter of all men and half of all women over fifty
- Loss of hearing or vision
- Incontinence, or the inability to control one’s bladder
- Memory loss, including dementia and Alzheimer’s disease
A geriatrician may also provide their patients with comprehensive care that includes checking on their social health. Seniors are at increased risk for poverty, loneliness, abuse, and injuries in the home. As part of their health care, a geriatrician may inquire about family support, living conditions, or the ability of a patient to perform daily self-care tasks.
In some cases, a geriatrician may serve as an advisor to other physicians on a specific case or condition. However, most of the time geriatrics is a primary care specialty, and geriatricians provide routine health care to the older patients they work with.
