Ryan's Way Is the Better Way
By Michael D. Tanner
This article appeared in USA Today on April 18, 2011.
Even under the Obama administration's most rosy scenario, Medicare is facing huge unfunded liabilities. It would have to be given at least $45 trillion now to cover all shortfalls for as far out as can reasonably be projected. And some estimates say it would take closer to $90 trillion. That shortfall cannot be fixed simply by making Medicare more efficient or eliminating "fraud, waste and abuse." Nor can we tax our way out of the problem.
The president essentially proposes that we continue to do what we have been doing, and cut reimbursements to providers. That approach, though, has gone about as far as it can go. Medicare now reimburses hospitals and physicians only about 80% of their actual costs, meaning more and more physicians are refusing to accept Medicare patients.
He also touts savings from the new health care law, but even the government's own chief actuary says those cuts are unrealistic. The only real Medicare savings from ObamaCare comes from forcing seniors out of the Medicare Advantage program.
[W]hen it comes to reforming Medicare, President Obama and Democrats in Congress offer only more of the same.
Rep. Paul Ryan's proposal represents a different way out of the crisis. He would not touch Medicare for anyone on the program today or anyone getting close to retirement. No one would be thrown off of the program.
But younger workers would transition to a new system, one in which they have more control over the money that Medicare pays and therefore the decisions about what benefits they would receive. They would receive a subsidy from the government to help them purchase private health insurance. Lower income seniors and those with higher health care costs would receive a bigger subsidy. Seniors could combine the government subsidy with whatever they wish to spend of their own money to buy an insurance plan that has a cost and benefits that best meets their needs. Instead of a one-size-fits-all system, seniors would have many more choices than they have today.
Will it mean that in the future seniors will have to pay more of their own money or settle for a plan with fewer benefits, as Democrats have charged? Yes. But that is going to happen with or without Ryan's plan.
Medicare cannot simply continue to promise paying for everything for everyone when it doesn't have the money to do so. The question isn't whether future seniors will have to pay more or get less. It is whether those choices will be imposed on them from above or whether they will be empowered to make those decisions for themselves.
What we have been doing hasn't worked. Medicare is broke. Rep. Ryan offers a better way.

Comment on Memo Club suspends trading, goes into voluntary administration. Town & Country to close tomorrow. by Steve Brown.
This is an absolute tragedy for our town. We cannot and will not allow it to happen! We cannot allow this continuing slide in our town and its services. This club is an immensely important part of our history and social infrastructure, the very foundations of many of our sporting associations. Time to draw a line in the sand, Alicespringites! Not another backwards step! Lets get on board and save our club!
Russell @ editor. While I support everyone's right to comment Russell the last part of your comment accusing the Memo of supporting a Alcohol Culture is not only insulting to a very large potion of this town it is stupid and defamatory! An accusation could be made about your comments that you are indoctrinating people into the culture of the moron! The Memo has been a wonderful family Club for generations it has supported generations of children's involvement in sport children of all colours all backgrounds. It has never supported a culture of boozing, always been a place where people went for a quite drink or two a meal and a bit of entertainment. It has run into trouble because not enough heads have been coming through the door. Why is that after all this time do you think?? Could it just possibly be that night after night of vehicles in the public car park being smashed by those haunting the poorly lit surrounds may have something to do with it? Do you suspect that night after night of break and enters may have something to do with it? Do you suspect that the general air of apprehension around town about going out after dark may have something to do with it? How do we help the Memo and all of our business? We enforce Law and Order in this town we don't make pathetic whimpering excuses for criminal behaviour because of somebodies shape colour background addiction or anything else, because when we do it causes harm to the huge majority of good and decent people of all colours in this town.

Golden Agri falls into Q2 loss of US$39m amid soft palm oil prices
Tue, Aug 14, 2018 - 8:11 AM
Kenneth Limkenlim@sph.com.sg@KennethLimBT
Golden Agri-Resources fell into a net loss of US$39.02 million for the second quarter from a year-ago profit of US$21.88 million amid softer prices and foreign exchange losses, the Indonesia-based palm oil producer announced on Tuesday before the market opened.
On a per-share basis, net loss was 0.31 US cent for the three months ended June 30. For the first six months of the year, net loss was US$27.17 million, or 0.21 US cent per share, down from a net profit of US$49.43 million a year earlier.
No dividend has been declared. Golden Agri shares last traded at 28.5 Singapore cents on Monday.
Revenue grew 5.9 per cent during the quarter to US$1.86 billion. First-half revenue revenue, however, slipped 3.3 per cent to US$3.68 billion, dragged lower by plantations and palm oil mills, and by oilseeds.
Fresh fruit bunch production declined to 4.60 million tonnes for the first half from 4.70 million tonnes a year ago, while palm product output shrank to 1.32 million tonnes from 1.34 million tonnes. Golden Agri said "tree stress" – explained as a biological slowdown after the high production in 2017 – accounted for the lower outputs.
SEE ALSO: CapitaLand Commercial Trust DPU up 1.9% to 2.2 S cents for Q2
The average international crude palm oil (CPO) price was US$632 per tonne for the first half, compared to US$702 per tonne in the year-ago period. This dragged earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation from plantations and palm oil mills lower by 19.1 per cent for the first half of the year to US$197.2 million.
Government intervention in commodity markets in India and Malaysia also affected CPO market prices, which hit revenue from palm and laurics. The group also blamed changes in trade policies between the United States and China for weaker performance in palm and laurics, and in oilseeds.
"Weather conditions, demand and supply of CPO and other competing seed oils, and developments in government policy on import duties of the countries we trade with will continue to have an impact on the prices for commodities including CPO," Golden Agri said. "Nonetheless, we expect the demand for CPO to remain stable supported by global food and energy demand growth, including the increase in biodiesel consumption in Indonesia."
Golden Agri also recorded a net foreign exchange loss of US$17.1 million for the first half of 2018, a reversal of a US$3.7 million net gain a year earlier due to the weakening of Indonesian rupiah-denominated assets against the US dollar during the period.
Acknowledging the tough quarter, chief executive Franky Widjaja hoped for support from government policies.
"Golden Agri faced a tough quarter in 2018, with performance impacted across all segments," he said. "We welcome the Indonesian government's plan to pursue a higher biodiesel mixture mandate amidst the appreciation of crude oil prices. This is part of the government's efforts to achieve independence in the energy sector while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In the longer term, we believe the fundamental demand for palm oil remains robust. We will continue to drive operational transformation for long-term shareholders return."

Steinbeck did it, Orwell did it, Hemingway and Mark Twain, and so has this author, Brian Phillips, that is reportage, truth work from the world, layered out in great prose lucid and rhythmic, insightful and evocative, myriad of lives, nature, and peoples all vividly brought to life and memorably left to ruminate.
Interesting first essay amongst denizens of Alaska, a bear, sled-dog racing and the mysterious connection of disappearances and an underground pyramid.
Illuminating essay, Sea of Crises, where he mentions on a sumo wrestler, Hakuho, the greatest sumotori in the world, "It is time for Hakuho's first match of the hatsu basho, the first grand tournament of the year." Then goes to explain Tokyo with some great sentences, and his odd search for the novelist Yukio Mishima's kaishakunin.
There is the haunting search and travel through New Mexico in Lost Highway essay, visiting the Trinity site where first atom bomb detonated, on UFO things and Area 51. Then stark informative and terrible stain of man's wrongs, he mentions of things partaken around American histories of Route 66.
The terrible fate of killed Tigers and the $10,000 price of the skin sold in Tibet, and the rest of the Tiger in Beijing for $100,000. The man-eating Bengal tigers, and the death toll in a village, and one Jim Corbett, a past author and hunter turned conservationist and the national park named after him.
There is a memoirist piece, In the Dark: Science Fiction in Small Town, he reflects on his Wrath of the Titans, Star Trek: The Next Generation, and X-Files viewing enjoyment, and days of youth that revolve around them.
Once and Future Queen, he opens with the weather and describing London with great craft with prose then goes on to lay out an originally done brief sketch and portrait of queen and family.
Revitalized essay writing of world histories that are revealing, stark, nostalgic, deep and informative.
"On Route 66, too, Native American imagery was everywhere. There were genres and subgenres of it; in the old photos, it's haunting. Cabins in the shape of wigwams. Neon headdresses looming over motels. Arrowheads for sale. Tomahawk-brandishing "chiefs" on billboards for roadside "trading posts." Anything that could be used to sell a pack of cigarettes to a 1950s driver. Any form of cultural iconography that could be pumped full of local-color neon.
What was missing from these scenes? Correct: anything resembling actual Native American culture. Also anything resembling actual Native Americans.
That's less true in real life, of course, than in old photos. West of Seligman, Arizona, Route 66 passes through the Hualapai Indian Reservation; there are casino hotels here and there along the way. Still, there's a feeling of erasure here that's different from what you find in, say, Massachusetts. This may be because the landscape itself holds such emptiness. There are fewer protective layers between you and American history. That is: You know that a history of invasion, displacement, and (let's use the word) genocide permeates almost every place you go in this country. But most of the time, you are encouraged toward distraction and repression by everything around you, all the noise and glitter of contemporary culture—here's Dunkin' Donuts; there's the Guggenheim Museum; is that corgi in a muumuu? Here, none of that operates. On Route 66, you are even subtly coaxed into thinking about the destruction of ancient cultures, of culture itself, by the general Ozymandias fading away of the Americana through which you're passing.

WWE Network Launches On Apple TV, iOS, Xbox, PS, Android And More
By Aatif | February 25th, 2014
Sports entertainment industry is perhaps one of those that will always continue to bloom, and World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) is right in the middle of it. About 20 days back, we told you about the entertainment giant's plans to go digital only, thriving in the world of online subscriptions and specifically aiming for getting a spot in the digital space. The network at that time claimed that it will go live on the digital platforms February 24th, and we promised that we'll remind you when that happens. Well, it's here – the moment is live – and WWE now resides on the Apple TV, iOS, Android, PlayStation, Xbox and the Web.
In a statement from the Wrestling Entertainment giant's Chairman and CEO, Vince McMahon:
"Today is a historic day for WWE as we transform and reimagine how we deliver our premium live content and 24/7 programming directly to our fans around the world."
He also says:
"WWE Network will provide transformative growth for our company and unprecedented value for our fans."
According to the looks of things, it seems that you'll need at least a second-gen Apple TV or newer to avail the streaming broadcast from the network. The set top box from the Cupertino company currently sells at $99, and also enables you to get subscriptions for the wrestling network right from within your Apple TV.
Earlier, reports suggested that a deal between Apple and WWE might be unlikely, since the fruit company was allegedly asking for a rather high cut from all the network subscriptions, and decidedly more than what the industry standard was. Those terms have come to a close, it seems, as WWE is now alive and kicking on the new platform.
Speaking of alive and kicking, it's interesting to note that the network is seeing a massively successful response from its fans as part of this move. According to a note on WWE's homepage, "Please be patient if you're ordering WWE Network as we're experiencing extremely high demand," which goes on to show that the move to digital only subscriptions is being well-perceived by the viewers. To make things even more interesting, the network is also offering a one-week free trial subscription, which, incidentally, you'll have to manually, actively cancel should you not wish to keep it.
So, starting today, all the WrestleMania action, the hype of SmackDown, the infamous SummerSlam – all of it will reside in the official WWE iOS and Android apps, and can be accessible via the Web and on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and 4, with support for Xbox One and Smart TVs coming this summer.

The Giraffe Locality
Global warming may turn Arctic ice caps into tropical lakes. To look into the future, Professor Peter Siver turns to clues from the past.
By Amy Martin
eter Siver doesn't much care for diamonds.
The botany professor is far more interested in microscopic algae—diatoms and chrysophytes—that live in lakes, oceans and other waterways.
But sometimes, diamonds are a researcher's best friend. And near the Arctic Circle, sometimes the search for these precious stones uncovers the remains of an undiscovered ancient lake.
In the late 1990s, BHP Billiton, an Australian-based mining company, was drilling for diamonds in one of the northernmost regions of Canada's Northwest Territories. The company was digging 400 feet into the tundra in search of kimberlite pipes, vertical cylinders in the Earth's crust that can push the rocks that sometimes contain diamonds from deep within the mantle to the earth's surface.
BHP was extracting sample cores of sediment from what was once a large crater, likely produced by the violent volcanic eruption that occurs when the highly molten material from which diamonds are formed moves up in the kimberlite cylinder.
Where there are kimberlites, there are often diamonds, so "if the sample didn't contain enough diamonds to warrant mining, they'd just dump it," says Siver, the Charles and Sarah P. Becker '27 Professor of Botany and director of the Environmental Studies Program at Connecticut College.
One castaway core didn't contain diamonds. However, the remains of an ancient lake that had once filled the crater were ever-present. To Siver, a sample like this is pure gold, because by analyzing the billions of microfossils left behind, he can piece together the past and help predict the future of our polar ice caps.
A sliver of this dirt can hold thousands of tiny algae fossils, including diatoms and chrysophytes. By studying the remains of these microbes, each of which thrive under different circumstances, Siver can reconstruct the evolution of the lake and of the organisms themselves.
In 2005, Siver began working on one of the BHP Billiton cores with Alexander Wolfe, a professor of paleobiology at the University of Alberta. They dubbed the sample site the "Giraffe locality" and determined the lake had formed 48 million years ago, in the middle Eocene "hothouse" period. It lasted for thousands of years before slowly turning into a marsh, then a bog, then forested land and finally the frozen tundra it is today.
The fossils in the sample are fantastically preserved—a treasure trove of scientific information. But collecting all that information isn't easy. The whole core sample stretches the length of 1.63 football fields; chrysophytes and diatoms can't be seen by the naked eye.
"It's like looking for a needle in the ocean," Siver says.
To conduct the research, Siver and Wolfe secured two grants from the National Science Foundation totaling more than $675,000. Over the past 12 years, they've led a growing team of scientists on a mission to find out just what this ancient lake can tell us about climate change and global warming.
Siver is a scientist, but he's also a detective of sorts. He looks for clues, collects evidence. No detail is too small.
He's one of the best in the world at what he does: Siver is the author of more than 140 peer-reviewed articles, four books and two edited volumes. He has discovered more than 80 new species of chrysophytes and diatoms, and even several new genera. He has also developed innovative ways of working with light and electron microscopes to reveal new details about the smallest of organisms.
Sometimes, even real detectives seek him out. Siver has helped solve murder cases by analyzing the diatoms in mud samples found on shoes to determine the source of the mud. One such case was the basis of an episode of Forensic Files.
In the arctic, though, what he found was tropical.
Looking at the samples under an electron microscope, Siver found chrysophytes species that today inhabit wetlands, small lakes and ponds. He also found warm-water sponges and tropical diatoms, including several species from the genus Actinella, whose closest modern relatives are found in Australia. Finding any diatoms at all was a surprise, since they had only started to invade freshwater bodies at the time the lake was formed.
"It might be one of the earliest freshwater diatom sites on the planet," Siver says.
It was all proof that this area of northern Canada had once been warm.
But how warm?
ARCTIC PALM TREES
As Siver set to work identifying and describing more of the organisms, a microscopic mystery emerged.
Again and again, he came across a round object covered with spikes. In his notes, he referred to the object as a Christmas ornament, since it reminded him of a decoration that might hang from the tree.
He found thousands of them, sometimes in a near-perfect line. He had no idea what they were.
Then, by chance, he happened upon a tiny picture of the same spiky ball in a Nature article about the evolution of herbivores and the spread of grasslands. The caption identified it as a phytolith, or silicified particle of plant tissue. From a palm tree.
"Palm trees in the arctic," Siver says. "Imagine that. It's fantastic evidence that there couldn't have been any ice" when the lake thrived.
To get an even better understanding of the climate, Siver and Wolfe enlisted a bigger group of researchers on a study to determine the area's average temperature, annual precipitation and atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide. The results were recently accepted for publication in Geology, a top scientific journal.
Using fossilized pollen, the scientists calculated that the area was more than 17 degrees Celsius (or approximately 30 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer than it is today, and significantly wetter.
The modern-day climate equivalent: Nashville, Tennessee.
"Amazingly, that's also right about where palm trees stop growing," says Siver.
These remains hold the key to what the future could look like and what could happen.
'A COUPLE HUNDRED YEARS'
The arctic was hot before, and it will be again. It won't take millions of years. It won't even take thousands.
One of the best predictors for global warming is atmospheric CO2. The current level of this greenhouse gas, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, is about 405 parts per million, and rising at an unprecedented rate.
According to Siver's team of scientists, at the time the Giraffe locality was a thriving lake, the mean atmospheric CO2 was 594 parts per million.
We're already two-thirds of the way there. And because the earth warms at the poles, when that level is reached, the arctic temperature will rise quickly, the ice caps will melt and the landscape may look much like it did 48 million years ago.
"Most estimates show us reaching those levels again in less than a couple hundred years," Siver says.
One scenario by the National Center for Atmospheric Research, for example, predicts the arctic could warm by as much as 7 degrees Celsius by the year 2100.
That's bad news for polar bears.
As the ice melts, many cold-climate species will likely change or become extinct, Siver says. But others will evolve and adapt to the new climate, and warmth-loving organisms are also likely to migrate north.
The microorganisms that thrived in the arctic lake provide some interesting evolutionary clues. Many of the now-extinct species of chrysophytes and diatoms Siver found were larger than their modern-day relatives. The smaller ones, it seems, were able to better adapt and flourish in new habitats.
And while Siver can't be sure from his samples what larger species of animals and plants were present, he's confident they were there.
"We can tell with some certainty that the ecosystem was thriving. The microscopic components were all there," he says.
Siver, Wolfe and their research teams, including student researchers and Siver's longtime laboratory manager and research assistant Anne-Marie Lizarralde, continue to analyze the Giraffe sample and make new discoveries. They have already published more than 30 journal articles about their findings; more are planned.
They are also working on three new samples: "Wombat," a 60-million-year-old site a few miles away from the Giraffe locality; "Horsefly," a 45-million-year-old site in British Columbia; and a younger site in Nevada's Virgin Valley.
The research will take years, but the comparative data will help Siver add even more pieces to the climate change puzzle.
"These remains hold the key to what the future could look like and what could happen," he says. "It already happened."

Child's crisis becomes Christmas miracle. 20 years later, family celebrates daughter's 'normal life'
Peter D. Kramer
Rockland/Westchester Journal News
Diane Dinsmore knew something was wrong with her 7-year-old daughter one day 20 Christmas mornings ago.
For one thing, Kerri wasn't acting like a second-grader on Christmas.
"She was just listless," Dinsmore remembers.
The day before, Dinsmore had taken Kerri to the local hospital near their home in Washingtonville, New York, about 50 miles northwest of New York City. Kerri had a splitting headache and had been vomiting.
Doctors sent the girl home, said she could have a migraine – like ones Dinsmore gets – or a stomach bug. Give her fluids, they said.
But moms know when something is not right.
What Dinsmore couldn't know was that Kerri would slip into a coma that Christmas Day, that she would be hours, possibly minutes, from dying.
'She's probably going to die'
"By Christmas morning, we knew something was terribly wrong, so we brought her down to her pediatrician, Dr. Jacob Boris, in Orangeburg," almost 40 miles on winding roads from their new home, Dinsmore said. They had moved from Pearl River about 5 miles from the doctor's office but hadn't yet changed pediatricians.
Boris met them at his office, did a quick assessment and sent them to Nyack Hospital. He followed them there.
By 8 a.m. EST, they had driven the short distance to the hospital. Kerri was admitted to the pediatric floor where a nurse noticed her vital signs flagging.
► Dec. 18:Girl's inoperable brain tumor disappears; doctors can't explain it
► Nov. 9:11-year-old girl safe after demanding stranger tell her 'code word'
► Oct. 29:Same-sex couple carries same 'miracle' baby in what may be fertility first
A CAT scan showed a large mass on Kerri's brain.
She should be airlifted to what was then Columbia Presbyterian in New York City, they were told.
"When I asked Dr. Boris if Kerri was going to survive, he shook his head and said, 'I don't know,' " Dinsmore recalled.
But then a young neurosurgeon walked confidently down the hall: Dr. Jeffrey Oppenheim.
Oppenheim, who was on call that day, recalls what he saw on the CAT scan: "a big hemorrhage, bleeding in the area of the cerebellum due to the rupture of a tangle of blood vessels, a type of vascular malformation."
The bleeding was putting intense pressure on Kerri's brain. Her pupils weren't reacting to light, Oppenheim remembered, a bad sign. He spoke to the Dinsmores.
"I told Kerri's parents: 'Look, she is near death. She has to go to surgery right away. I don't know that I can fix this. She's probably going to die. But I will do what I can.' "
Oppenheim didn't sugarcoat it: The staff at Nyack didn't typically operate on children – those cases were usually sent elsewhere – but the bleeding in her brain made Kerri's condition too dire to airlift her.

► Aug. 28:Drake's little fan gets heart transplant just days after his surprise visit
This was the kind of conversation Oppenheim dreaded.
"It's deeply emotional and painful because you have to warn people the severity of the situation like this and to tell a parent that they may lose their child," he said. "That's the worst thing you can say to somebody."
'It wasn't Kerri's time, yet'
Lose Kerri? On Christmas Day? The family couldn't process what they had heard.
"We were devastated, beside ourselves," Dinsmore said. "(Karl Dinsmore,) my husband at the time, now my ex-husband, had a lot of trouble dealing with the fact that we might lose our little girl. A lot of the decisions really were left up to me and my parents who were there at the time."
Oppenheim was about Diane Dinsmore's age. He was confident but completely candid.

► Aug. 4:How two babies with blades in their skulls were saved
What could they do? They had just met this young surgeon, who had prepared them for the worst.
But Diane Dinsmore's family had faith. Everybody just came together for Kerri, she said.
While they kept vigil at the hospital, other family members had stayed home with daughter Lauren, who is three years older than Kerri.
"I knew he wasn't a pediatric neurosurgeon, and that was obviously a concern. But he seemed to be very confident, and he tried to allay our fears as much as he could," Diane Dinsmore said.
"Ultimately, we just kind of put our faith in Dr. Oppenheim and in a higher power," she said.
Save our little girl, they told Oppenheim. They then called their parish priest, who came to sit and pray with them.
Diane Dinsmore's parents sat in the waiting room, too.
Then they waited – for seven hours.
"We thought positively the entire time, that it wasn't Kerri's time, yet," Diane Dinsmore said.
Back at home, Lauren refused to open any Christmas gifts until her little sister got home and could open her presents, too. Christmas would wait for Kerri, she said.
Details from that day of unspeakable worry have stayed with Diane Dinsmore all these years.

► May 6:'Miracle' child comes to life from brain injuries
She remembers the small kindnesses of complete strangers: people who showed up to drop off a stuffed animal or a little trinket in Kerri's room, a young girl who came in with a bag of figurines they used to put in McDonald's Happy Meals.
"She didn't even say a word. She sat down and she put all these Happy Meal figurines on Kerri's little table and then just left," Diane says.
She still has a folder with all the names of the nurses who cared for Kerri.
Christmas joy, deferred
The surgery went well, but Oppenheim knew not to expect much when he made the rounds the next day.
"Given her neurological condition when this happened and how bad her brain stem compression was and her state going in, usually the way people come out of surgery might look a bit like the way they were going in," Oppenheim said. "In her case, going in, she was near death."

► November 2017:Holocaust survivor, 102, meets nephew he never knew he had
But that's not the way Oppenheim found Kerri the next day.
"She woke up almost like nothing happened," he said. "It's just extraordinary."
Kerri's family, prepared for the worst, got the best.
"She was awake and talking and looking great," Oppenheim said. "To go from the deepest possible low to the greatest high, that was extraordinary. That was really part of the reason why I haven't forgotten it."
Kerri Dinsmore, now 27, doesn't remember much about that hospital stay that started Christmas Day and stretched until she was released New Year's Eve 1998.
She does remember having to learn to walk again, the only significant side effect to her ordeal.
"I remember the nurses and the doctors at Nyack and how caring and how special they tried to make me feel after Christmas," she said. "When I woke up, I didn't really know what was going on.
"I didn't know if Christmas had passed already," she said. "And they tried to take all the scariness away and make it feel normal for me."
She also remembers the staff searching for – and finding – her pink stuffed elephant, Ellie, which had been mislaid when she switched rooms. She had had Ellie since birth and brought the elephant with her to the hospital.
She still has the stuffed animal, she said with a laugh.

► August 2017:The 'Fitbit for fertility' celebrates a milestone: A baby
When Kerri came home on New Year's Eve, Christmas came to the Dinsmores. They opened presents and took a photo, date stamped 12-31-98, in which a beaming Diane Dinsmore is flanked by her two adorable girls.
Other photos, too, show 7-year-old Kerri lying in bed at the hospital wearing a floppy hat, a smiling surgeon at her bedside.
Diane Dinsmore calls what happened at Nyack Hospital "a Christmas miracle" and Kerri "our miracle girl."
"It very well could have gone the other way, and we were just thankful that our Kerri was in one piece and that her eyes were open," Diane Dinsmore said. "She had a funny little wrap around her head, but she was our Kerri and she was still with us."
The case made a bit of a believer out of Oppenheim.
"I'm not even Christian. I'm Jewish," he said. "But I like to think of it as a bit of a Christmas miracle."
At the very least, he said it was "a Herculean effort, in a desperate moment, to take care of somebody who needed care and then doing it really well."
Consider this: "It was on Christmas Day and the hospital staff was obviously out, but people rushed in and took care of this girl," Oppenheim said. "And it was really a team effort in the hospital to do that, to care for somebody who we normally, at Nyack Hospital, we don't normally take care of 7-year-olds.
"That's not something that the anesthesiologists do and the operating room nurses do," he said.
Not until years later at State University of New York Cortland, after Kerri Dinsmore decided that teaching wasn't for her, did she settle on a career path that had its roots in Christmas 1998.

► June 2017:Photo of Holocaust survivors leads to reunion 72 years later
"One of my friends, who was my best friend while I was going through my whole brain hemorrhage thing, reminded me of my admiration and how I always talked about the nurses at Nyack Hospital and how I had wanted to do that when I was little," she said.
Now Kerri Dinsmore is a nurse, engaged to marry her high school sweetheart in June. She said she hears her mother's words when she approaches patients, how important it is to give family members information and keep them involved.
"I try to remember that, especially dealing with pediatrics and remembering that they're more scared than the adults would be and talking through that and being compassionate," Kerri Dinsmore said.
How did Kerri survive?
Oppenheim said her age played a role in that miracle. Someone older than 40 likely wouldn't recover from that level of compression on the brain.
"You're left with permanent deficits if you live," he said. "But this girl woke up like nothing had happened.
"The resilience of the young is wonderful, the capacity to heal," Oppenheim said. "But it really was a bit of a miracle that this girl not only woke up and didn't die but came back and has lived a normal life and is fine. I mean it was really exceptional."

► December 2016:Couple has baby after 20 years of trying
The surgeon knows how close the scenario was to ending differently.
"That hemorrhage was, I think, a matter of minutes or hours away from her being irreversibly brain dead," he said. "It doesn't get closer than that, and you would never want to be that close. Nobody would. That's terrifying."
"In an adult, it would be irreversible. But in this girl, on Christmas Day, that was reversible," Oppenheim said.
'I honestly owe my life to him'
The family's medical episodes weren't over.
Three years later, Kerri had a similar, but not as serious, brain hemorrhage, the result of another cavernoma, a cluster of abnormal blood vessels. Since Oppenheim had monitored her and seen this coming, he suggested the family take her to a pediatric neurosurgeon at Columbia Presbyterian, who performed non-emergency surgery to clear the problem.
Since the fifth grade, Kerri has had no similar episodes. She now lives in Hastings-on-Hudson.

► August 2016:Toddler comes through rescue drama nearly unscathed
Oppenheim, who went on to serve as mayor of Montebello, New York, for nine years, remains the family's go-to neurosurgeon.
Ten years ago, an MRI for an unrelated ailment showed Diane Dinsmore had a similar cavernoma. Oppenheim scrubbed in on the surgery at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital in Manhattan.
"We've been seeing him forever," Kerri Dinsmore said. "I honestly owe my life to him."

America's Army: Rise of a Soldier Online Hands-On
Secret Level's new first-person shooter will bring the ultrarealistic, tactical nature of the popular free PC game to consoles. We take a near-final version online for a multiplayer test.
By Brad Shoemaker on November 8, 2005 at 5:34PM PST
America's Army: Rise of a Soldier
$19.13 on Walmart
Ubisoft and developer Secret Level have been toiling away for the past few months, refining their console-exclusive version of the free recruitment-tool-cum-PC-action-game, America's Army. Subtitled Rise of a Soldier, the new game will wrap the PC version's realistic, tactically focused shooting gameplay around a new character-building framework that will see you progressing through the Army's ranks, from rifleman to grenadier all the way up to a Special Forces fireteam leader. This game won't be free like the PC one, but it looks like Secret Level is doing its best to give you enough military meat to make the game well worth paying for.
We got a chance to check out a nearly completed Xbox build of Rise of a Soldier recently, which gave us time to sample a number of different multiplayer scenarios in a three-versus-three configuration. Each map in the game will present a number of objectives for both attacking and defending teams, and you'll have a list of roles on your respective side that must be filled if you want the manpower to accomplish your goals. The catch is, certain roles--such as the fireteam leader, who can use his binoculars to call in mortar and air strikes--will require a minimum online experience level before you can play them. So in more-advanced games, you're effectively provided with a filter that will keep less-experienced players from mucking up your game.
Luckily, Ubisoft let us try the game with an upgraded character, so we were able to jump right into the gameplay to see exactly what Rise of a Soldier has to offer. One map was similar to the snowy bridge map that fans of the PC America's Army should be familiar with. This map is essentially one long pathway with occasional overhangs for snipers to climb up on, and the gameplay here has you dashing from one cover point to another to try to advance without getting picked off.
Rise of a Soldier will force you to play by the Army's rules--so no blind running and gunning.
We tried another map set in an open field area at night, which required us to use night vision to see our enemies. Interestingly, the Army doesn't use night-vision goggles in conjunction with weapon-mounted scopes, so neither will the game. Instead, when you aim your weapon with night vision enabled, you'll get a laser sight that you can only see while you've got your night vision activated. The downside is that anyone on the other side using the goggles can also see your aiming beam, which quickly gives away your position. We had some tense cat-and-mouse matches where we had to watch for enemies' laser sights to determine where they were. This map gave us the impression that Rise of a Soldier's gameplay may take some getting used to for many online shooter veterans, since the low-light conditions made it extremely difficult to see (and hit) foes in the distance. Probably a lot like real warfare, come to think of it.
Perhaps our most intense matches took place in a hilly desert map, where we were tasked with defending bombed-out buildings in a small valley from a group of advancing enemies. The uneven terrain gave these foes plenty of options for moving on our position in unexpected ways, and our favorite tactic during the few rounds we played was to get up on top of the building, go prone, and set up our weapon on a bipod for the best combination of maneuverability and accuracy. We were playing the fireteam leader on this map, which let us switch to binoculars and call in a mortar strike. In one round, in which the entire opposing side foolishly tried to come in together, we managed to blow them all to smithereens with just a couple of quickly requested, well-placed strikes.
Our time with Rise of a Soldier gave us a clear demonstration of the way your persistent experience level will affect the nuts-and-bolts shooting gameplay within a match. The basic controls are similar to other tactical shooters, in that you can crouch and go prone to steady your aim and reduce your visibility; you can lean around corners and sprint between cover points; and you can bring your weapon up close to use its iron sights for better accuracy. The game's aiming mechanic is different from that of most shooters in that it gives you a great degree of aiming assistance in tracking targets--but it's up to you to fine-tune your aim to actually score an effective hit.
As you gain online experience, you'll receive bonuses to your in-game performance in a number of areas.
As you raise your experience level, your weapon will waver less as you try to aim it, and it'll generally be easier to perform this fine-tuning and take down foes more quickly. You'll improve in other areas as your skills go up, too. You can bandage yourself more quickly, for instance, which will keep you from bleeding and losing even more health after you take a hit. Another example is that suppressing fire will have a less-detrimental effect on you. You'll even get some more gameplay-relevant abilities as your "honor" increases, such as being less affected by shell shock when a grenade explodes nearby.
It looks as though Rise of a Soldier will carry on the series' good name with the same sort of strategic, squad-based shooting action that's made games like Rainbow Six such a hit with the online-console set. But America's Army boasts even more-realistic shooting and damage models, and conforms even more strictly to real-world military rules of engagement, so you erstwhile joystick jockeys may find yourself going back to boot camp before you begin to rule the game's online leaderboards. America's Army: Rise of a Soldier ships next week on the Xbox, and later in December on the PlayStation 2.

Several artists and bands brought Monroe to life Thursday night at Live Oaks Bar and Ballroom with a full night of performances.
Ryan Cabrera along with Secondhand Serenade appeared as part of their Radio Revival Tour. The night also included appearances from Nick Thomas and the band Wind In Sail.
A native of Dallas, Texas, Cabrera is a platinum-selling singer, songwriter and musician known for massive pop hits such as "On the Way Down," "True" and "Shine On." He co-headlined the tour that stopped in Monroe to promote his new EP "Wake Up Beautiful," which marks his first album release in over seven years.
His new album combined sounds his fans "have come to love" yet also moved forward with a more mature sound.
His songs have come to be known for their "infectious and emotive" nature. The album's hit song "House on Fire" looks to capture this essence.
"'House On Fire' is about burning everything down and being crazy while you can," Cabrera said.
Though the singer was new to some students, many said they enjoyed and plan to listen to more of his music.
"I actually didn't recognize a lot of it. The only songs I knew were 'On the Way Down,' and 'True,' but I really enjoyed it and I'll be listening to more of his music for sure," said Caleb Willis, a junior construction management major.
Most students noticed Cabrera's energy during his performances.
"I didn't know any of Ryan Cabrera's music until last night, but I really enjoyed listening to him and his band perform. He has a great stage presence," said Emily Dean, a freshmen occupational therapy major.
Cabrera performed after Secondhand Serenade, which is a band familiar to many in this college generation.
Kallie Etheridge, a junior English major, said she mainly came to see Secondhand Serenade as she used to listen to their music frequently.
"The highlight of the night was probably when Secondhand Serenade sang 'Fall For You' and everyone was singing as loudly as they could, but I also enjoyed just having a good time with my friends and enjoying the good music," said Kallie Etheridge, a junior English major.
Caleb Willis also called the performance of "Fall For You" one of the night's highlights.
Students jumped at the chance to meet and to take pictures with members of the band.
"I went to see Secondhand Serenade and the highlight of my night was getting a picture with the lead singer of the band, John Vesely," said Emily Dean, a freshmen occupational therapy major.

Press Release: Trivedi Global, Inc. and Cathryn Nykvist Announce Research Results on the Impact of an Energy Infused Proprietary Supplement for Reducing Autoimmune and Inflammatory Disorders (PRWeb)
Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, August 25, 2018 (Click Here to view on PRWeb)
Cathryn Dawn Nykvist, a natural-born healer with scientifically validated abilities, today announces the outcome of preclinical research on a proprietary biofield energy healing treated herbomineral formulation which increases the anti-inflammatory response and the immune response, which suggests a potential treatment for improving autoimmune disorders.
Biomarkers for systemic and organ-specific inflammation assessed in the preclinical research indicated a significant decline. The data is as follows:
Over 31 percent decrease in Interleukin (IL-1β) expression.
Over 19 percent decrease in the Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF-α).
Over 15 percent reduction in Macrophage Inflammatory Protein (MIP-1α) was observed in the experiment.
Overall, this holistic formulation is considered a beneficial complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) product, with a safe therapeutic index. Because the formulation promotes overall health and better quality of life, stress is reduced, aging is slowed and inflammatory diseases, including cancers can be reduced.
The research results suggest that as a potential effective anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory energy medicine product, it can be used for reducing a variety of auto-immune disorders such as Lupus, Fibromyalgia, Addison's Disease, Hashimoto Thyroiditis, Celiac Disease (gluten-sensitive enteropathy), Multiple Sclerosis, Dermatomyositis, Graves' Disease, Myasthenia Gravis, Pernicious Anemia, Aplastic Anemia, Scleroderma, Psoriasis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Reactive Arthritis, Type 1 Diabetes, Sjogren Syndrome, Crohn's Disease, Vasculitis, Vitiligo, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Alopecia Areata. It can also help with inflammatory disorders such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Asthma, Ulcerative Colitis, Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, Atherosclerosis, Dermatitis, Hepatitis, and Diverticulitis.
This Biofield Energy Healing Treatment was provided by Cathryn Nykvist as part of a group of 18 energy healers, 11 of which were remotely located in the U.S.A., four in Canada, one in the United Kingdom, one in Russia and one in Ireland.
The test formulation was located in the research laboratory of Dabur Research Foundation, near New Delhi, India. The Biofield Energy Treatment was provided for 5 minutes through the Biofield Energy Healers' unique Energy Transmission process remotely to the test samples under laboratory conditions. Nykvist, as well as, the other 17 biofield healers participating in this research never visited the laboratory in person, nor had any contact with the herbomineral samples.
About Biofield Energy Treatments
The National Center of Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) has recognized and accepted Biofield Energy Healing as a complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) health care approach in addition to other therapies, medicines and practices. CAM therapies have been practiced worldwide with reported clinical benefits in different health disease profiles. Human Biofield Energy has subtle energy that has the capacity to work in an effective manner. This energy can be harnessed and transmitted by the gifted into living and non-living things via the process of Biofield Energy Healing.

Steps to Take Before You Transfer
Decide which school is right for you. Your new school should help you satisfy both your academic and athletic goals.
Learn the transfer and eligibility rules for the NCAA and the new conference and school you plan to join. When you begin to think about going to a new school, understand that the rules are different depending on whether you want to transfer to an NCAA Division I, II or III school, and whether you are currently enrolled at a two-year or a four-year school. In some cases, conference rules can be more restrictive than NCAA rules.
Apply to be admitted to the school you want to attend.
When Can I Compete?
There are several aspects of your college experience that determine when you may compete after transferring. Depending on your college experience, you may be able to compete as soon as your transfer or you might have to be enrolled full-time for one academic year at your new school before competing. This time is called an academic year in residence and is designed to allow you to become comfortable in your new environment. You will need to work with the compliance office at your new institution to determine when you will be eligible to compete. .
If you have general questions related to the NCAA, please review our most frequently-asked questions or contact our legislative team at 317-917-6008. Questions about your specific situation should be directed to your school's athletics compliance office.
