CoulsonOklahoma has just joined the ranks of a half-dozen other states by enacting a K-12 education tax credit program. Under the new program, individuals or businesses that donate to non-profit School Tuition Organizations receive a tax cut worth 50 percent of the donation. STOs then use the funds to help low income families afford private schooling. Journalists for the Associated Press and countless other media outlets routinely refer to donations made under education tax credit programs as “state money.” According to the United States Supreme Court’s recent ACSTO v. Winn decision, “that is incorrect.” This is a matter of settled law. To call these private donations “state money” is to misrepresent the facts and mislead readers. It w...

By doing so I entered this odd Facebook grey zone – relationship status. I had been getting messages from newly acquired FB friends recently that weren’t of the nature I’d be looking for on FB, such as the dick shot, or the watersports TMI message. Now for those who know me I’m not easily shocked. Perhaps I’m just becoming a prude in my old age. Call me old fashioned but I like to keep my Manhunt moments on Manhunt, and Facebook on Facebook. I hadn’t realized that I had several things checked off such as single, looking for relationship, friendship, and maybe networking of something. These went quickly. “No wonder.” I thought. In addition I have been seeing someone over the past few months. ... acidrefluxweb.com blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3370621 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 22:16:30 +0100 3370621 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2989244&cid=t_226564_113_f&fid=36504&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2FMedicalRecordShow%2F%7E3%2FeHIgYejngTI%2F I want to preface this with something I should have said a long time ago: All posts reflect my own opinions, not those of anyone I’ve had the good fortune to learn from, work with, and otherwise spend time around. It could hardly be otherwise with my own blog. But addressing folks in healthcare, you’ve got to be a bit careful. IT folks get it, but in healthcare we’re not all individuals, much as we’d like to think otherwise. We are born from a very old profession, and that means being tied like nobody’s business to colleagues, training academies, membership societies, support staff, patients, and public opinion. Say the wrong thing, and you step on some toesies of other bees in the hive. And that’s a problem, when it comes to innovation. So That’s ...

Do you think a list of 100 is too many? I did at first, but once the energy starts flowing you can get there. I have to admit it took some thought. I suspect that this list would be like taking layers off an onion, and if I were to do it in six months that I’d get down to a deeper level. My list, prompted by GGT contributor and life coach Brandon Williams, is posted on my Gay Guide Toronto blog going by the same name Acid Reflux . Why not share with me on Gay Guide Toronto what some of your dreams are? I’d be very interested in hearing from all of you.

How about an education? This athlete did. Meet 17-year-old Enes Kanter. For any basketball fan, the scouting report on this Swiss-born Turkish basketball player is enticing: a physical specimen at 6′9″-6′10″ who possesses superior positioning and is a “clever defender.” A few months ago, at an age when most of his peers are working part-time jobs in the service industry or on a factory floor, Kanter played in the Euroleague (widely touted to be the world’s second-best professional league) against grown men and recorded 5 points, 3 rebounds and a steal in a mere 10 minutes of game time. Expectations are that the precocious Kanter will grow a few inches, improve on his al...

As for the 8th month (august) it is ominous. 《彖》 曰：《臨》，剛浸而長，說而順，剛中而應。大「亨」以正、天之道也。「至于八月有凶」、消不久也。

The patient will be awake while he and doctors rewire healthy parts of his brain and remove diseased parts. Did you know, by the way, that the brain itself does not feel pain – which is why a patient can be awake to help doctors by responding to what they can or cannot do – as they operate? Writer Andy Rieger quoted the brain patient after the operation… “It’s amazing to me what kind of stuff I’m getting back. At first, I couldn’t walk or talk.
