The Epic Systems campus in Wisconsin features the emerald city, wizard's campus, and other fantasy-themed locations

Tours are available:
We have six unique campuses for you to explore: the Prairie, Central Park, Farm, Learning, Wizards Academy, and Storybook campuses. Each tour takes about an hour. To get to the Farm campus, you’ll also get to enjoy the Prairie campus. For the Storybook and Wizards Academy campuses, you’ll start with the Central Park campus or take an expedited route to where those tours begin. 
CNBC from September:
on the outside of its fantasy campus, medical professionals and their patients have very real-world needs from this massive technology vendor. And there are plenty of very real critics.

Epic has for years been accused of dragging its feet around interoperability efforts that would help streamline the exchange of patient information between vendors.

Health-care data in the U.S. has historically been siloed and difficult to move around, as clinics, hospitals and health systems can store their information in a variety of formats across dozens of different vendors. The data is also protected by federal laws like the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA.

Oracle, which is now Epic’s chief rival, says Epic is fiercely protective over its turf.

The lost Wicked Witch episode of Sesame Street from 1976 has been uploaded to Reddit

In the episode, the Wicked Witch drops her broom on Sesame Street, and terrorizes the populace until eventually reclaiming it after disguising herself as a seemingly normal woman. At one point, Big Bird arms himself with a baseball bat and hockey stick to defend the store. Two summmaries say the episode was pulled after one airing because of complaints it was too frightening. But probably the better reason to have pulled it was because the shapeshifting scene suggested normal old women should be feared.

Link roundup

1. "Professor Who Helped Expose Crisis in Flint Says Public Science Is Broken"
In 2003 the Virginia Tech civil-engineering professor said that there was lead in the Washington, D.C., water supply, and that the city had been poisoning its residents. He was right.

Last fall he said there was lead in the water in Flint, Mich., despite the reassurances of state and local authorities that the water was safe. He was right about that, too.

...

Q. Do you have any sense that perverse incentive structures prevented scientists from exposing the problem in Flint sooner?

A. Yes, I do. In Flint the agencies paid to protect these people weren’t solving the problem. They were the problem. What faculty person out there is going to take on their state, the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency?
2. Stills from Return to Oz.

3. "Santorum was made an honorary Pizza Ranch employee."
His campaign chairman noted that he had been to 120 of the chain’s locations. He was presented with a Pizza Ranch T-shirt – a fleece, too.
4. "Top paralympic sprinter banned for doping violation"

Tik-Tok custom figure (Return to Oz)




Tik-Tok custom action figure by glenwebman69:
The base for the figure is one of those plastic balls that you open to reveal a mystery toy. His head is a ping pong ball and his arms came from a Terminator Salvation figure. The brim of his hat and the part around his waist were cut from craft plastic while everything else is scratch built using Apoxie Clay. Painted with Citadel paints.
