Grace of Giving: Friends of Hospice eases final days for uninsured
James Holland had a terrible decision to make. The 63-year-old could receive radiation treatment for cancer that had spread from his lungs to his brain, and perhaps live another four months. "But it wouldn't be a good four months," said his sister, Jacqualyn Watson. Or he could go home to die in perhaps two months, but without the strain of further treatment. Holland, a retired heating and air conditioning technician, chose to receive hospice, or end-of-life care, at home. But he had no insurance to pay for it. Yet the day he returned home, a nurse showed up. She talked with him and gauged his needs, entering it all into a laptop computer. The next day, Sept. 19, a hospital bed and wheelchair arrived. .
2007 Mitsubishi Outlander LS 4WD Review
Does Mitsubishi have an identity crisis? When its name is mentioned, some people think of SUVs, like the Montero, while others think of the Lancer Evolution high-performance rally replica. If so, the company is working hard to blend the best of both sides of its reputation. With its second-generation 2007 Outlander, Mitsubishi has merged an SUV with a rally car. A wild claim? You'd be forgiven for thinking so, as performance and handling are not usually associated with a crossover SUV. But the new Outlander, which shares little besides the name with the original, previews the chassis platform that will underly the next-generation Lancer Evo, and its four-wheel drive system is meant more for traction and cornering on pavement than traditional four-wheeling. In the crowded and competitive mid-size, middle-class crossover field, the 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander stands out by virtue of its sporty abilities.
New energy bill calls for 35 MPG CAFE, increased ethanol production ...
The 'do instead' can be anything other than 'a slight polishing of the status quo' which is all this energy bill is. Sure, some pork is sent to corn farmers. And there is a small smear of lip service for 'alternative energy' research. Uh huh. But big changes are needed for a big change in results. And this energy bill contains no big changes.At its heart, this energy bill is about doing the same old things, continuing to burn hydrocarbons without any serious improvements in fuel economy or emissions control.In short, it is the very definition of insanity. .
