Isn't it funny what ideas stick from childhood? I remember reading about the La Brea Tar Pits in elementary school and I have been curious about them ever since. My husband felt the same way, so when we planned our family trip to Hollywood last June, we took the opportunity to visit this unusual prehistoric site on the last day of our trip.
In case you missed the La Brea Tar Pits in the Weekly Reader, here's the scoop. La Brea Tar Pits is an active paleontology site in the middle of Los Angeles, California. The still-bubbling pits can be found in Hancock Park, surrounded by skyscrapers.
Long ago, prehistoric animals wandered into the sticky, black tar pits and were trapped. Predators would sometimes attack those helpless animals and get stuck too. They sank into the tar, which preserved their skeletons beautifully. This happened many times, resulting in layers upon layers of fossils over thousands of years.
Scientists began digging fossils from La Brea Tar Pits in the late 1800's, and they have been digging ever since. Today, you can still see bubbling tar pits, scientists at work, and a family-friendly museum in the middle of L.A.
Here are my tips for visiting La Brea Tar Pits.
We drove our own car and arrived shortly before the museum opened. We had no trouble finding inexpensive metered parking on 6th Street just after 9 am, but it filled quickly. The museum has a pay lot on the corner of Curson and 6th. At the time of our visit, the parking fee was $12.
There are several ticket options at the La Brea Tar Pits. Basic Museum Admission includes admission to the museum and the Excavator Tour. For a few dollars more, you can add your choice of Titans 3D or Ice Age Encounters. For a few dollars more than that, you can see both shows, when available.
Titans 3D is a short movie that tells the story of the La Brea Tar Pits. I found it interesting and informative, especially for kids and other visitors who are unfamiliar with the history of the La Brea Tar Pits. However, I would not say that it is must-see for everyone. It is shown in a small theater, and while 3D, it is not as sophisticated as some movies I've seen in other natural history museums.
We purchased our tickets at the museum and that worked well. The museum was not crowded on the Friday morning in June that we visited. Discounts and free days are available. Find details in the Good to Know section later in this post.
The La Brea Tar Pits Museum tells the story of the tar pits and showcases the best fossils from the tar pits. You'll see fossils and models of mammoths, saber tooth cats, giant sloths and a lot of dire wolves. As prehistoric fossils go, these are pretty glamorous.
You may see paleontologists at work behind glass. You'll have an opportunity to touch real fossils and ask museum staff about them. There are several interactive exhibits inside the museum.
The La Brea Tar Pits are still there and still bubbling! Wandering around Hancock Park and seeing the pits was my favorite part of our visit. The tar pits are fenced, so there is little risk of humans or animals getting stuck in them today. You'll also see active dig sites and fossil crates all around the park.
We did not take the Excavator Tour, which is included in admission. Tour times are posted each day and you meet at the museum entrance to join in. We had a long drive ahead of us and didn't stay long enough to experience the tour. I'd love to try it another time.
The La Brea Tar Pits are located next door to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Between the two, you could spend a full day. There are several large outdoor art installations and park visitors are welcome to walk through and on them. Save a little time to explore these, even if you don't visit the Museum of Art.
The Petersen Automotive Museum and Craft and Folk Art Museum are located across the street from the La Brea Tar Pits and LACMA.
When: The museum is open every day from 9:30 am – 5:00 pm. It is closed on four days of the year: Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year's Day.
How Much: Museum admission starts at $12 per adult, with discounts for seniors, students and children. Children ages 2 and younger are always free. Discounts and free admission may be available.
The museum is free every first Tuesday, October-June. The museum is free every Tuesday in September. Do reserve tickets in advance.
Active or retired military and California teachers are free every day with ID.
You may be able to find a discount on Groupon. I checked while writing this post, and the Groupon price for La Brea Tar Pits General Admission was the same as the walk up price, but Groupon was promoting a sitewide 20% off coupon code, which happens regularly.
The La Brea Tar Pits museum is included in the Go Los Angeles Card. Bundle and save up to 50% on admission to 34 popular Southern California attractions. Save an extra $2 per Go Card when you purchase through our partner, aRes. Click the button to view and purchase.
How Long: 2+ hours. We spent 2-3 hours at the La Brea Tar Pits, but we didn't stay for the Excavator Tour.
Amenities: Restrooms, gift shop. The gift shop is small, but has some fun and unique items. There is no on-site restaurant, but you may find a food truck in high season, and there is a cafe at the art museum next door. There are a few picnic tables and plenty of lawn in Hancock Park.

Dopo il ritiro
Dopo essersi ritirato, Lawrence ha lavorato nel controllo qualità e ha avuto un figlio, Stephen.

Nel febbraio 2015, Lawrence è stato intervistato in strada da un giornalista della BBC, Stuart Flinders, che chiedeva ai passanti più anziani se ricordassero il derby della stagione 1966-1967 tra Liverpool e . Lawrence, che non era stato riconosciuto dal giornalista, emozionato rispose "Me lo ricordo, ci ho giocato", suscitando la sorpresa reazione di Flinders. Il video della curiosa intervista divenne virale.

Lawrence è scomparso il 10 gennaio 2018 all'età di 77 anni.

INTERVIEW WITH HERB DOUGLAS: OLYMPIAN, BUSINESSMAN, HUMANITARIAN
On February 19, 2016, Focus Features released the motion picture Race, a biographical film about Jesse Owens, who won a record-breaking four gold medals in the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin. Owens was a childhood idol and later a close friend of Herbert P. Douglas, Jr., who, himself is an Olympic medalist and former corporate executive. Born on March 9, 1922 in Pittsburgh, PA, Herb starred in high school in gymnastics, basketball, football and track & field. Later, he attended the University of Pittsburgh, where he captured three AAU and five intercollegiate championships and set a Pitt long jump record that lasted for 23 years. At the 1948 London Olympics, Herb won a bronze medal in the long jump, becoming the first Pittsburgh native to capture an Olympic medal. After graduating from Pitt with a master's degree in education, Herb began a career in corporate America working first for Pabst Brewing Company, and later Schieffelin & Co., distributors of Hennessy Cognac and Moet & Chandon Champagne. While at Schieffelin, Herb founded the International Amateur Athletic Association, Inc. and created the Jesse Owens International Trophy Award and the Jesse Owens Global Award for Peace in honor of his hero.

DRONES: NEXT BIG THING OR SECURITY RISK?
Photo Credit: PSFK, Getty Images One of the hottest topics in sports technology today is the use of drones. Several major sports networks, professional teams and college sports programs have experimented with using camera equipped drones, or "unmanned aircraft systems" (UAS) either as part of the live production of sports programming or as a new and improved way to capture game film or practices. From a technological standpoint, there is a lot to be excited about: new camera angles to enhance viewer experience, more exciting ways to market a sporting event, closer and more expansive imaging of practices and games. Yet there are also some concerns, chief among them the security risk posed by unmanned aircraft, including the possible use in a terrorist attack. In addition, a malfunction or wrong turn could send a UAS (some of which top out at speeds of 70 MPH and weigh over 50 pounds) into a stadium crowd, causing serious injury to spectators. Flying drones over major sporting events requires a license and an exemption from the Federal Aviation Administration. Falling prices for drones, however, have made the devices more accessible to the general public and may present a looming problem, as recreational drone […]

Beyond Player Discipline
The issue of player discipline has been one of the hottest topics in professional sports over the past several months. Recent conversations have focused on Ray Rice and the physical assault against his then-fiancée, now-wife in an Atlantic City elevator, Adrian Peterson's child abuse charges, domestic violence charges (separate incidents involving Greg Hardy, Brittney Griner and Hope Solo, to name a few), Josh Hamilton's drug relapse and Tom Brady's deflated footballs. Through it all there has been ample discussion on how the system of disciplining players should operate. Recently, the Sports Business Journal asked four noted sports lawyers to weigh in on a number of issues regarding player discipline. Perhaps the most intelligent comment in an article filled with thoughtful responses, came from David Cornwell, a partner at Barnes & Thornburg. In response to the question, "What does the future hold for player discipline?" Cornwell said: "We are seeing a cultural shift take place before our eyes and we do not know it or we are ignoring it. A dirty little secret is that the growing significance of youth and amateur sports in our culture has reached the point where there is too often an inverse relationship between […]

The Beautiful Game's Ugly Side
Soccer has a long and sordid history of racism and discrimination involving fans in the stands and, more recently, on social media. The abusive conduct that has taken place during games has been well-documented: fans throwing bananas on the field at dark-skinned players, often accompanied by monkey chants; fans adorned in blackface; gay and homophobic slurs. The governing bodies have tried numerous ways to deal with the problem, including deducting points from teams with offensive fans, relegating such teams to lower leagues, taking away home games and even playing in empty stadiums. So far, nothing has seemed to work. A recent report from Kick It Out, an organization dedicated to equality and inclusion in soccer, found that this season there have been over 130,000 discriminatory posts on social media aimed at soccer players. The discriminatory posts have focused on race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, anti-Semitism and more. The report found that Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli has received over 8,000 discriminatory messages this season, including over 4,000 racist posts. What will it take to bring this all to an end? Would be interested to hear from those who are fans not only of soccer, but also of decency and equality.

Q&A with Tom O'Connell, MLB Certified Agent
Tom O'Connell is Founder and President of O'Connell Sports Management, located in Tampa, FL. Tom has represented professional baseball players since 1997. Recently, we caught up with Tom to get his insights on his career in the agent business. Q. Tom, you've been a certified baseball agent for over 15 years, what have been the biggest changes you've seen in the agent business over the last decade? A. I would say the two biggest changes in the industry are the increased role sabermetrics play in assisting agents in negotiating and valuing players, and the evolution of social media, which has dramatically changed the interaction with reporters. Agents now tend to be more guarded with reporters, especially in regards to ongoing and future negotiations. Q. Over the course of your career you have operated primarily as a solo agent. Given how the player representation business has become increasingly dominated by larger agencies like CAA, Relativity, Octagon and others, how have you been able to compete in the player market? A. I learned early on that honesty and integrity go a long way into building a solid brand. I have always prided myself on being direct and frank in dealing with […]

In general, residents receive very little education in billing and coding. But there's value in being able to quickly and efficiently churn out patient notes while achieving the appropriate level of coding for each chart, or electronic medical record (EMR). Believe it or not, your chart matters.
There are 5 levels of ED chart coding based on your documentation; these are called CPT codes. Level 1 is the most basic, while Level 5 is the most complex. Billing follows closely: 1 pays the least, 5 pays the most. Reimbursement is based on the number of "Relative Value Units" – or RVUs – you generate. RVUs are calculated by your documentation, so missing key elements can easily drop a chart from a Level 5 to a Level 3 – losing over 3 RVUs!
The following 5 EMR charting pitfalls can cause CPT code downgrades – and may also set you up for a medicolegal disaster.
Macros are quick ways to auto-populate often-used text. In some EMRs, they are referred to as "dot phrases" or "auto-text." Macros are both a literary and medicolegal nightmare. So many of the charts reviewed in QI/QA are initially flagged because of contradicting information traced to a macro. Commonly seen errors include a documented heart rate of 120, yet "Regular Rate and Rhythm" checked in the CV portion of the physical exam, or "Negative for Chest Pain" in a ROS macro in a patient presenting with chest pain.
Solution: Consider a free-text version of your "default" ROS and physical exam so you can quickly change the appropriate portions easily. It's also more reader-friendly than text transcribed from click-boxes.
Medical decision-making, or MDM, is a concise but well-rounded summation of the pertinent problems, differential diagnoses, and diagnostic/treatment plans for your patient. It is important not only from a billing and medicolegal standpoint, but also for future providers who may care for this patient.
Solution: Increased complexity of your MDM increases the billing level of your chart. To achieve a level 5 chart, you must include the following (if applicable): interpretation of labs, x-rays, EKGs, reviewing old records and consultation/recommendations by specialists.
"Negative," "noncontributory," "not significant," "no significant past medical history," "unknown," "reviewed in chart," and "denies" are not sufficient from a billing perspective.
Solution: For a Level 5 chart, you need to document 2 of 3 elements (past med/surg history, family history, social history). In some EMRs, selecting "Include Medical History" pre-populates "No active or resolved past medical history items have been selected or recorded." This does not count as a billable element. If you have this, deselect it to make the chart easier to read.
From a billing perspective, you must specify what is "negative" or "denies." For example, "Family history negative for asthma" or "Denies past medical history" are adequate documentation.
An initial convenience of the EMR was the ability to import patient data automatically into a note. Unfortunately, all this information becomes a problem, because it's not always audited. A default feature of many EMRs is to pull all data into a patient's encounter – causing a simple note for a wound re-check to become a 5-page document with a laundry list of medications, outdated social history, and medical problems of unclear resolution.
Solution: Dictate or free-text the relevant medical/social/family history for each specific encounter, along with the medications the patient currently takes. Not only does it make your chart more readable, but it also accurately summarizes the patient's current active problems and medications.
Voice transcription software is a great way to spew out a quick HPI or MDM, but beware of spelling/grammar errors while dictating.
Solution: If you have the brainpower to dictate and check your grammar in real time, kudos. Otherwise, review text after dictating it. Another tip: Dictate in the native software and transfer it into your EMR. For example, Dragon Dictation software uses a "Dictation Box" in which you can transcribe your speech. After you dictate text, you can quickly transplant it into your EMR note. It will often stay in the clipboard also, which saves you if your EMR crashes. Remember to do voice training with your dictation software about once per month to ensure accurate transcriptions.

Domestic violence in Argentina is a serious issue. Since the 1990s onwards, the Government of Argentina has taken steps to address this problem. However, the policies of Argentina have been criticized for being weak, primarily due to focusing on civil, rather than criminal dealing with this form of violence, and for stressing conciliation between victim and perpetrator. The policy dealing with domestic violence has also been made more difficult due to the decentralized nature of the country: Argentina being a federal state with 23 provinces has caused significant regional variation between provincial policies on domestic violence, with women across the country having differing levels of protection.

Legal situation
Argentina's Ley Nacional 24.417, of 1994, was its first law on domestic violence. Under this law, domestic violence is defined as "injury or physical or psychological abuse"(lesiones o maltrato físico o psíquico) by family members. In 2009, a much broader law was enacted: Ley de protección integral para prevenir, sancionar y erradicar la violencia contra las mujeres en los ámbitos en que desarrollen sus relacion es interpersonales [Ley 26.485] (The Comprehensive Law on the Prevention, Punishment and Elimination of Violence against Women in their Interpersonal Relations [Law 26.485]). This new law defines many forms of domestic abuse that were not present in the former law.

Public support
Public and private institutions offer prevention programs and provide support and treatment for abused women. In general, complaints of domestic violence are addressed in civil courts, which can secure protection measures, including banning a perpetrator from a victim's home or workplace. In 2012, the Congress passed an anti femicide law imposing stricter penalties on perpetrators who kill their spouses, partners, or children as a consequence of gender based violence.

Large corporations are buying 75% more clean energy than last year
Starting November 30, the world's leaders will meet in Paris at the UN summit for climate change to discuss a common framework to reduce carbon emissions at a global level. Most countries already have plans set in motion to reduce emissions, either by using energy efficiency and new technology to lower the carbon footprint of their own operations, or use legislation to compel residents and companies to do the same. A lot of big and sizable corporations in the United States have taken matters into their own hands, however, by buying more clean energy and less fossil fuel derived energy, regardless of what the government suggests or coerces.

A lot of big and sizable corporations in the United States have taken matters into their own hands, however, by buying more clean energy and less fossil fuel derived energy, regardless of what the government suggests or coerces.
The Rocky Mountain Institute, a nonprofit environmental research outfit, tracked the number of contracts and their value between corporations and large-scale wind and solar farms. For 2015, the nonprofit found 2,100 megawatts, roughly equal to 525,000 home rooftop solar systems, have already been ordered by big US companies, or 75 percent higher than what RMI measured last year. The leaders are tech companies, like Facebook or Google. For instance, Facebook is building a new data center in Fort Worth, Texas, that will be powered entirely by renewable energy. Apple seems to be the most environmental conscious, since 94 percent of its operations are powered by clean energy, even those outside the US. The company installed 40 megawatts of solar projects in the Sichuan Province. These solar installations produce more than the total amount of electricity used by Apple's offices and retail stores in China.
Of course, tech companies are edgy by nature and using more renewable energy, especially now when it's extremely cheap compared to only ten years ago, only makes sense. What's exciting about the RMI report is that other big companies outside of tech are joining like Dow Chemical, General Motors, Walmart, and Kaiser Permanente.
One third of generated electricity is used by companies, and each company's carbon offset measures will mark a long standing contribution, no matter how big or small the business is.
"The pressure is mounting [for corporate executives] to take action" on climate change, said Hervé Touati, RMI's managing director. "What they realize is that signing these large deals is the best way to say you are addressing your sustainability agenda."
Earlier this month, the U.N. calculated by how much the world will reduce its emissions and, conversely, what degree of warming can we expect in the future if government hold by their pledges. As a reminder, the stated goal of the COP21 U.N. summit in Paris is to avert warming by more than 2 degrees Celsius by 2100 past pre-industrial levels. The climate is already 0.9 degrees Celsius warmer. Calculations, however, show that the collective national pledges amount to a reduction in global average emissions per capita by as as much as 8% by 2025 and 9% by 2030. Is that a lot? Not at all. It might avert 3C of global warming over the century, one degree Celsius shy from the declared target.
It's quite clear that we can't rely on our governments. Not solely, at least. The private sector has proven a leading vector for innovation and change. If more companies join and buy more clean energy, then we might actually see a massive reduction in emissions. It's not just some hopeful half guess, either. Wind and solar prices fall again, while fossil fuel energy grows more expensive. Solar energy is already cheaper than the grid for 30 million US residents. What will happen if there will be a high tax on carbon? What if fossil fuel subsidies are torn to shreds? Consider all of these, the world might be in for an energy revolution in the coming ten to fifteen years. When it happens, a snowball effect will rapidly transform the energy landscape once the the critical mass threshold is breached. So, a lot of high hopes set on the private sector. Don't let us down.
