On my far-too-frequent visits to my younger daughter's pediatrician, I've noticed pristine new monitors and keyboards wrapped up and sitting in the corner of the exam rooms. Over the last six months, there they've sat, waiting patiently to be unwrapped and plugged in. "What's the hold up," I think? As a parent, I'm hoping this new system will offer the doctors e-prescribing capabilities. As a healthcare IT observer, I'm wondering why what I presume to be an electronic health record (EHR) is taking so long to come out of the box and into operation. Is it a question of resources? Is the facility waiting for a training team to be made available? Is there back-end infrastructure that has yet to be put in place? These are the things I think about while dealing with low-grade fevers and scheduled immunizations.
Needless to say, my interest is always piqued when I come across stories of pediatricians adopting EHRs and/or realizing the benefits of that technology. So when I came across news that Sandhills Pediatrics had received $184,000 in EHR incentives, I was intrigued. The Columbia, S.C.-based practice has been using an EHR from SRS since 2010.
"Even our initially most skeptical physicians became committed SRS EHR users in a very short period of time," said Kevin O. Wessinger, M.D., president of Sandhills Pediatrics, in the release announcing the pay out. "All fourteen physicians and their staff value the efficiencies that SRS has delivered and the patient care and practice improvements that SRS has facilitated."
I recently spoke with SRS CEO Evan Steele to learn more about how Sandhills implemented the EMR back in 2010, and the benefits they've realized from it.
This being the practice's first EHR, what prompted them to make the move from paper to digital?
ES: "The driving force was the quality of care Sandhills was providing. With 4 locations and Saturday and Sunday office hours only at the central location, patient chart review was a big challenge. The patient charts that were housed at the satellite offices, because that's where the patients were normally seen, and so were not available to review for weekend care. Additionally, the practice provides nurse triage in the evenings until 10:00pm and again, the satellite patients' charts were not available."
Did you, as the vendor, encounter any barriers to adoption from the Sandhills staff?
"No, we did not encounter any barriers to adoption. Our implementation plan is highly developed and assures 100% adoption. In addition, the Sandhills team's dedication to success allowed them to achieve their EHR goals. Furthermore, the decision to implement the SRS EHR was driven from the top down. Sometimes the age of the physicians may impact adoptability. At Sandhills, 12 of the 14 physicians are under the age of 50 so they are more computer-savvy and willing to make the change."
What sort of "extras" do the pediatric practices look for when selecting an EMR?
"Unique to pediatrics are immunizations. The SRS development staff worked closely with Sandhills on immunizations and pediatric growth charts. SRS secured the integration between Sandhills and the World Health Organization, developed a table for displaying and storing vaccine information, and enabled Sandhills to provide this information to their patients in a usable format.
"With a patient population of 57,000, Sandhills had to provide every kindergarten, grade school, and day care with proof of immunization. In the past, the practice had to hand-write 20,000 immunization certificates each year. SRS was readily available to provide a solution to this issue and saved the Sandhills staff many hours of aggravation. SRS created a form that auto-populates the immunization information so now the Sandhills staff no longer needs to hand-write each certificate.
The same process and benefits were developed for growth charts. The SRS EHR provides the patient's age, and the Sandhills staff only has to enter height and weight, and this information auto-populates on the growth charts.
SRS created efficiencies, which coupled with our uniqueness in allowing physicians to continue to document notes as they are accustomed, has led to a successful implementation and positive EHR experience."
How have clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction been improved since the EMR was installed?
"Clinical outcomes have improved as the physicians have access to pertinent clinical data at any time from any place. Additionally, the staff is quicker to respond to patient inquiries. They've experienced tremendous improvements in efficiencies and patient outcomes as a direct result of using SRS Order Management. Sandhills used to have manual paper tracking of lab tests and now with the SRS EHR, an expected date pops up in the system and if a test is not back by then, an alert is shown calling attention to the fact that it needs to be addressed.
"The patients, especially those seen on the weekends and evenings, have commented that they appreciate the improved and quick service. When they call in to the office with questions and concerns, they are comforted and given peace of mind knowing that the Sandhills' staff is completely familiar and up-to-date with their situation."
What do you think will be the next evolution of EHRs for pediatrics?
SRS Development recently unveiled vaccine inventory control. This process is entirely manual now, but the new enhancements will automatically track down the vaccine to the lot number. It's also a double-check for safety that the lot numbers they have match what's in computer. This is a double benefit – quality control and inventory control. This new development will especially find favor with the nurses, who are so happy that a daily occurrence that used to take 2 hours will now take 2 minutes."

48 hours to tick Belfast City off the list
Whether you think you know Belfast or you've never been before, prepare for a whirlwind tour of the city. From hilltop heights to street market floors, see the city from a different angle. Swap taxi rides for black cab tours and meet the people that give the city its colour. Food, drinks, cycle rides and gigs you've got 48 hours to check it all off...
Food, drink and a Friday night gig – let off some steam in Belfast City
6PM - Arriving into Belfast, dump the bags and rest the feet. There's no better place to grab a seat than the Duke of York. With superb décor, rare artefacts and beautiful antique mirrors, take a unique glimpse into the city's past. Down a cobbled alleyway this traditional pub is the perfect place to sample the authentic taste of Northern Ireland. Order an Irish whiskey or a pint of creamy stout and have a chat with students, hipsters, tourists and locals. In fact, anyone could pop in.
7PM - Settled in nicely? It's time to find some food. Made In Belfast is all about basic, rustic ingredients with influences from all over the world. Aussie burgers and Scandi Smushis, the meat is full of flavour and most importantly, sourced from Ireland. From food and furniture to people and charm, Made In Belfast proudly lives up to its name.
9PM - Once the food's gone down, it's time for a gig. Get over to The Limelight on Ormeau Avenue. You'll see queues round the corner for the hottest tickets in town. Whether it's the high-octane signature sound of Ed Zealous or alternative rock from Mojo Fury, keep hold of your drink and get in close.
11PM - Finish the evening with a Friday night finale and head over to Love & Death, a cocktail bar on Anne Street. Take a minute to let your eyes adjust to the dark and edgy interior. From hanging bicycles and fairy lights to miss-matched glassware, this place is full of the weird and wonderful. Browse the comic-inspired menu and choose from over 85 drinks.
Rich food and fascinating culture – soak it all up on Saturday afternoon
9AM - Start the day the right way and get over to Café Conor. Originally the studio of local artist William Conor, it's right on the doorstep of Queen's University. It's known for serving the best breakfast in Belfast – the Ulster Fry sets you up for the day. The café stays true to its artistic roots and features artwork from local, contemporary artists. It's small and popular, so squish up and get stuck in.
10AM - Work off the potato bread with a quick bike ride, it's the best way to see the city. Along the Lagan from Botanic to the docks you quickly get a sense of the cityscape. From flowers and gardens to boats and birds, there'll be many a photo opportunity on the route.
11AM - Cycle ride to taxi tour. Venture a little further out and see Belfast's famous murals from the back of a black cab. Designed to give you a quick insight into the city, the journey takes you from the distant past to the exciting future. The mural tour is unique to Belfast, but what makes it really special is the personal interaction with the driver. With local knowledge, charm in abundance, and an authentic accent, you'll be hanging off their every word.
1:30PM - Jump out of the cab at St Anne's Square and head to Coppi, an Italian restaurant launched by a veteran Belfast chef, Tony O'Neill. It's named after the cycling legend, Angelo Fausto Coppi, and you'll see his photograph emblazoned across an entire wall. Coppi serves chichetti, small snacks served in traditional bars across Venice. Be sure to try the steak Florentine.
2:30PM - After lunch it's off to the museum. One hundred years after the birth of the world's most famous ship, the Titanic Belfast became one of Northern Ireland's most talked about, awe-inspiring attractions. Explore the shipyard, travel to the depths of the ocean and uncover the true legend of the Titanic, in the city where it all began.
A traditional Saturday night with a modern day twist – make it a late one
4PM - Time to rest your feet. Sit down in The Crown Liquor Saloon, a traditional pub, revered for its eclectic range of real ales and classic pub food. With ten snugs featuring original gunmetal plates for striking matches, an antique bell for alerting staff and original hanging gas lamps, it really is a gem of a pub.
6PM - After a day of culture and conversation, you'll be ready for dinner. The Mourne Seafood Bar is a much-loved local landmark serving fresh fish from the ports of Annalong and Kilkeel. Throw yourself into the deep end and try their very own stout. This traditional Mourne Irish pint is bursting with flavour – perfect with a plate of oysters.
From the heart of the city, you're in the perfect position to party and pub-crawl. The Cathedral Quarter holds the backdrop of some of the city's oldest and most beautiful streets.
8PM - First stop, Aether & Echo. Think turn of the century Parisian-chic: this venue is set to become the coolest spot in town. Moustaches, flat caps, belts and braces... the bar plays all the cards of sophistication.
9PM - Round the corner to the Hudson Bar. The sign reads, 'Whiskey, Ales and Disco', and frankly that says it all. A cool hub for those with alternative tastes. For something a little more traditional, it's off to the John Hewitt. With locals playing their own instruments, this gig is more of a jamming session that's paid for in pints.
10:30PM - From old to new. The Dirty Onion is the perfect transitional pub. It's Belfast's oldest building and dates back to 1780. With its distinctive external wooden structure, low ceilings and original brick walls it has a modern twist with a deliberate nod to the past. A stone's throw away, is the National Grand Bar. The former headquarters of the National Bank of Ireland, it has the biggest beer garden in Belfast.
12AM - Time to call it a night, but there's one final stop. The Menagerie is a quirky, boho enclave owned by Belfast DJ and producer David Holmes. What look's like a derelict shed opens up for those in-the-know. As you'd expect from one of the city's most influential figures, you'll find top class DJs playing killer tunes. It's a happening hipster alternative and all about the sounds. So make a little room, throw a couple of shapes and end the night on a big note.
Shopping, walking and talking – it's the last day so make it a good one
9AM - Don't sleep in, there's breakfast to be eaten. Head on down to Harlem, a quirky café next to the historic Ulster Hall. From glass tables of starfish to walls that're head to toe in picture frames, Harlem is more than a salubrious café or happening bistro – it is but a work of art. With local produce and a welcoming atmosphere, Harlem café gives a hint of an exciting and emerging Belfast.
10:30AM - Work off breakfast and blow away those cobwebs with a proper walk up Cavehill, just a few miles from the city centre. The summit offers stunning scenes over Belfast City and the Lough towards the Mourne Mountains. Thought to be the inspiration behind Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels, it is said that Cavehill resembles the shape of a sleeping giant that's safeguarding the city.
1PM - Stroll the aisles of St George's Market, and watch the locals show off their talents for all things handmade. Cameras, clothes, candles and cakes: this is the perfect place to pick up your final souvenir. With live music in your ears and a Belfast bap in your hand you'll really get the feel for Belfast.
3PM - After lunch go on an alternative music tour with Terri Hooley – if you can find him that is. Hooley is a well-known figure in the Northern Irish music industry and known as the godfather of punk music in Belfast. Murals, pubs, plaques and alleyways – his tour takes you through the backstreets of the city. You'll hear inside stories and good-natured rants: notice how everyone knows his name.
4PM - Time to fit in one more? How about the MAC, Belfast's brand new arts venue? It's located in the city's bustling Cathedral Quarter where music, theatre, dance and art are all mixed up and served in one impressive modern, contemporary building. Sit down for a quick coffee and a bun before calling it a day in Belfast City.
48 hours and it's done – let's do it again

By DAVID GREEN
Morenci is need of two planning commission members following the recent resignation of Karen Mepham. A recent state law might affect the makeup of the group.
Morenci's seven-seat commission fits into the law, council member Keith Pennington explained, along with the method of placing members on the commission: the mayor appoints and council approves.
Renée Schroeder, as city administrator, would be an ex officio member of the board unless she names someone to serve in her place. One other ex officio member would be appointed from council.
The ex officio members could be made up of the mayor and a councilor, two councilors, or the administrator and a councilor.
The new law allows for two members who are not registered voters of the city.
The law also requires a minimum of four meetings every year.
Morenci planners will continue with five members, Pennington said, until two more are appointed. Anyone interested in joining the group should contact city hall.
SEWER PAYMENTS—Property taxes in Morenci could be going down next year as the bond for the sewer separation program nears repayment.
Pennington, as chair of the Legal and Finance committee, told council members he has spoken with city treasurer Stephanie Mossing about paying off the off the bond debt early.
"We hope to know in the next month or so," Pennington said. "What better time to save a little money for property owners."
Residential property owners pay about $125 a year and business owners pay $185, he said. In addition, a charge of $11.50 would come off the water bill.
"I'm glad that assessment is almost over," he said. "Twenty years has been a long time."
CRUISER—The 2003 Chevrolet Impala police cruiser will be offered for sale on eBay. Police chief Larry Weeks said the city has had better success in the past selling items on eBay rather than trying to sell locally.
The vehicle has 139,000 miles plus the wear and tear of law enforcement use, Weeks said.
AERIAL TRUCK—Council member Tracy Schell said that verbal acceptance was received for the city's bid for the used aerial truck owned by the Archbold Fire Department. However, since the sale would be made to an out-of-state buyer, Archbold learned that the normal bidding process would have to taken.
LIBRARY—Kym Ries and Heather Walker were approved for additional four-year terms on the Stair Public Library board of directors.
Janelle Thomas was given a 25 cent an hour wage increase in accord with her contract.

I'm linking up with Five Minute Friday where we are instructed to "Write for five minutes on the word of the week. This is meant to be a free write, which means: no editing, no over-thinking, no worrying about perfect grammar or punctuation. Just write." This week's prompt is "Place".
In the slower days of summer, I am led to thoughts that create new adventures. I sometimes though ponder the thoughts of measuring how well something was doing in the past, and why now it seems to have changed, along with my passion for it. Or, a better description may that my intention is changing.
I ponder about going back to a place where it seemed more productive, more passionate. Don't get me wrong though! Even with those essential "P" words, the place could be hard work full of sweat and tears too.
This place was in the days when I was awake at 4 am and writing. I was writing my teenage novel at the time, as well as contributing at least 3x per week in a new forum to me–blogging. My first blog was call Connecting Stories, over on the blogger platform. There I met, never physically, but through many words and correspondence via comments mainly, other writers. Most were fiction, as I inspired to be, as well as teachers of writing. I even entered contests and received a honourable mention at one place, won others. As well, it was a time where blog awards were given by other bloggers–fun badges you could post on your blog like "encouraging blogger", "sweetest blog," and "amazing commenter." And blog hops were hopping, and popular!
It was a time where no one seemed left out of the party too. If someone visited your place, then you would for sure go to hers/his, and leave a comment, making a new or cultivating a connection. I still have a handful of bloggers from those days that I connect with today and consider friends. So, lately I'm feeling somewhat nostalgic for that other place of mine, Connecting Stories, and considering writing again there with the focus on writing!
Do you write on multiple blogs with different focuses? Do you feel it important to connect by commenting on the blogs of those who left you comments?

The way we measure the length of the hair is to straighten the hair instead of measuring the hair directly. Hair is also measured by hand, and it is inevitable that there will be small errors (0.1-0.3 inch error is acceptable).
1. Why is the length different from the description?
When the hair is straightened, we measure the length of the hair. Compared to straight hair, the wavy and curly textured hair is much shorter. Please note that before buying, thank you!
2. Why is the weight different from the description?

Loyola Marymount tops Northern Arizona 92-86 in OT
Loyola Marymount scored the first five points of overtime, C.J. Blackwell made a key 3-pointer, and the Lions protected their lead at the free-throw line for a 92-86 victory against Northern Arizona on Wednesday night.
Anthony Ireland had 28 points and Ashley Hamilton 24 for Loyola Marymount (5-4), and both had baskets during the run to start the extra period. After the Lumberjacks (3-5) got back within a basket, Blackwell's shot from behind the arc made it 88-83 with 56 seconds remaining.
Dewayne Russell scored 23 points and Gabe Rogers 22 for Northern Arizona. Rogers made six 3-pointers.
Rogers' 3-pointer gave Northern Arizona a 80-77 lead with 49 seconds remaining in regulation, but Ireland responded with a 3 with 31 seconds left to force overtime.
Lions coach Max Good earned his 300th career victory over 21 seasons, the last five at Loyola Marymount.

We've already had our first snowfall, and there's sure to be plenty more.
According to WOOD-TV8 meteorologist Bill Steffen, he's forecasting 89 inches of snow for Grand Rapids, 76 inches for Kalamazoo, 98 inches for Holland and 100 inches for Muskegon. "Above normal snowfall is likely over most all of southern Great Lakes," he wrote in his Winter Forecast.
Steffen said last winter (Dec.-Feb.) turned out to be slightly cooler than average and we got the most snow in February, as we've done the last three years.
According to the National Weather Service, The "Groundhog Day" blizzard was the headline event of the winter, not only in Michigan but across the county. This blizzard stretched from Oklahoma through Chicago and Michigan and into the New England states. The storm produced widespread blizzard conditions from the Holland/Grand Rapids area northeast through the Saginaw Bay region. Snowfall in this band across Central Lower Michigan ranged from 10 to 15 inches. The winds gusted in excess of 40 mph for hours, which created whiteout conditions, snow drifts of 3 to 5 feet and made travel nearly impossible.
Steffen noted there is also a decent chance of an ice storm again this year like the one we had on February 20 (see photo.) The ice accumulated up to a half inch with some isolated locations with an inch of ice. This downed thousands of trees and power lines throughout that region. Many people were without power for 4 to 5 days. The National Weather Service said up to 10 million dollars in damages were caused by the ice storm.

The book's subject also appealed to me right away. Recently married, I had received a special quilt made by my grandmother for my wedding. A cherished and personal gift, I know my grandmother spent much time lovingly piecing it together with my husband and I in mind. Powerful and memory evoking, it's amazing how quilts can tell stories and bring generations together. As I cracked open The Quilter's Apprentice and started reading I found an intriguing story involving two interesting characters, one elderly and one young, whose lives were brought together through quilting. I thoroughly enjoyed Chiaverini's first novel and over the years have read all of the books in her Elm Creek Quilt books series. Earlier this week on February 21st, Chiaverini released Sonoma Rose, the 19th book in her bestselling series.
Sonoma Rose is an adult, historical fiction novel set in California during the Prohibition era of the mid to late 1920's. The book explores the story of Rosa Diaz and Lars Jorgensen, lovers that are forced apart in their youth by old family resentments and personal choices. In a series of flashbacks readers learn that Lars previously struggled with alcoholism and Rosa, finding herself pregnant, decides to marry John Barclay, someone she does not love but deems stable. John becomes abusive and also becomes involved in various lawless activities. John and Rosa disagree about how to best care for their children, who are stricken with celiac disease, a mysterious and fatal (without proper treatment) affliction.
Lars slowly reenters Rosa's life and, at first, Rosa tries to keep him away. Eventually John's violent nature escalates and he almost kills a man. Lars and Rosa seek out each other and escape together with the children to wine country in northern California. Lars is wanted by the mob because he reported John's involvement with illegal liquor trafficking. The pair finds work and a home in the countryside at a vineyard owned by second-generation winemakers, the Cacchiones. While working there they learn all about the difficulties faced by winemakers and the dangers of bootlegging during Prohibition. Lars and Rosa struggle to find happiness together and though they live in fear that they might be discovered by the mob or by John when he exits jail, they remain hopeful for a better future.
Sonoma Rose is a rather complex combination of themes and fairly action-packed, full of dramatic events. The book brings together a lot of subjects including Prohibition, winemaking, spousal abuse, alcoholism, and celiac disease. Unlike many of Chiaverini's books, it does not focus as much on quiltmaking or women bonding as the result of creating quilts together. The setting of the book is really quite fascinating, and I learned a lot about the heartbreaking travails California's winemakers faced when trying to abide by the Prohibition laws and their dealings with corrupted law officers and politicians. Many winemakers lost their land, some which had been tended with care for generations. (For those that want to learn more about the Prohibition, I highly recommend watching Ken Burn's three-part documentary film series, Prohibition.)
Although Sonoma Rose can be easily treated as a stand-alone novel, it is truly a sequel to The Quilter's Homecoming, a story that focuses on the character of Elizabeth Nelson, a cousin to Sylvia, the founder of the Elm Creek Quilt Camps. When Elizabeth moves from Pennsylvania to California, she befriends Rosa and locates previously hidden quilts from Rosa's family's past. Elizabeth, in a sense, provides the tie to the other Elm Creek series stories and her character is also introduced in Chiaverini's The Christmas Quilt. The novel, Sonoma Rose, fleshes out the details found in The Quilter's Homecoming and supplies a satisfying ending to Lars and Rosa's story.

scott or chloe would be my choice
The best written female character on trek ever.
Are we talking about main characters or anybody on Destiny? If it were main, I would have to say Rush. He's pretty full of himself, however, I would need him to run the ship. As for anybody else on Destiny, I'd go with Morrison. He's kind of an ass and would ruin a good time.
Camille , when you think about it she is pretty useless when it comes to running the ship . The only things she has to contribute is complaints and treachery.
I wouldn't throw anyone off. The crew is so small and everyone is necessary for survival. You have to value your people in a desperate situation.

Markbass F1
Markbass products can be spotted right away with their black and yellow color scheme, and even though the F1 amp is less than two inches in height, those colors make this micro stand out. With that slight of a dimension, the front panel looks like a solid row of knobs which encompass the same EQ system found on the other Markbass heads—four bands of EQ along with VLE, VPF, Gain, and Master controls.
VLE stands for Vintage Loudspeaker Emulator, a knob that cuts high end to create a bass tone headed toward the good old days, when a 2x15 cab—sans tweeter—was likely to be found on many bandstands. VPF, in contrast, stands for Variable Pre-shape Filter and is used to dial in a scooped sound that's better fit to rockers and slappers.
On the back, you'll find a pair of combo output jacks that take either 1/4" or speakON speaker cables. With all that Markbass was able to fit on the front and back panels, it seems that they ran out of space to squeeze in a Mute switch and DI level control. Not to worry if those features are a must for you—their F500 amp includes them as well as two bands of semi-parametric mids. And it has a profile that still fits the size and weight parameters of this roundup.
Giving this head some playing time, I quickly recognized the big, punchy, low-end voice that is characteristic of their popular Little Mark series, but with a little more presence. With no EQ dialed in, the F1 brings out a warm tone. Utilizing the 4-band EQ and the VLE or VPF controls, it's easy to dial in a wide-ranging tonal palette. The Markbass F1 will set you back a bit more cash ($650) than some other amps on the market, but in return, you'll get a big sound and a lot of versatility in a durable and easily to haul package.
Street $650

This seems so obviously correct that I feel embarrassed for not having figured it out sooner.
The rationale of the White House offensive against Fox News has been a topic of much puzzlement lately. Is this just the White House lashing out? Are they trying to rally the base?
But I think Mike Allen and Josh Gerstein nail the real explanation in their story today: The White House is working to prevent stories born on Fox from crossing over into more widely-viewed media. Most Americans still haven't heard of Van Jones, for instance; and the strategy is now all about containment…
"We're doing what we think is important to make sure news is covered as fairly as possible," a White House official told POLITICO, noting how the recent ACORN scandal story started because Fox covered it "breathlessly for weeks on end."
"And then you had a couple days of breast-beating from The Washington Post and The New York Times about whether or not they were fast enough on the ACORN story," the official said. "And it's like: Wait a second, guys. Let's make sure that we keep perspective on what are the most important stories, and what's being driven by a network that has a perspective. Being able to make that point has been important."…
"They're not really a news station," Axelrod told ABC's "This Week." "It's not just their commentators, but a lot of their news programming if you watch, it's really not news….The bigger thing is that other news organizations like yours ought not to treat them that way, and we're not going to treat them that way. We're going to appear on their shows. We're going to participate, but understanding that they represent a point of view."
"It's not a news organization so much as it has a perspective," Emanuel said on CNN's "State of the Union." "More importantly, is to not have the CNNs and the others in the world basically be led in following Fox, as if what they're trying to do is a legitimate news organization."
Both Politico and Mediaite note that the expected righteous indignation at being lectured by politicians on what they should consider news is strangely absent from most of the press corps — with the important exception of Jake Tapper. Go figure. Even the reliably liberal Ruth Marcus felt obliged to wonder what the reaction would have been had Dubya declared war on MSNBC and encouraged other news outlets to ignore the nightly spiel on "Countdown." Olby would have duly clambered up onto the cross as a free-speech martyr — after a 40-minute special comment on freedom of the press and the "chill winds" of totalitarianism, natch — and the rest of the media would have gladly circled the wagons. Does anyone seriously think otherwise?
The irony of this story, though, is that the press was already happy to quarantine "wingnut" stories emanating from Fox, be it Van Jones or ACORN or the White House trying to politicize the NEA. Compare the first boldfaced quote in the blockquote above to this one from Chuck Todd more than a month ago. In fact, here's what I wrote on September 4, while the Jones thing was roiling, on how Tapper — again — seemed to be the only non-Foxy willing to break the wider media embargo on covering what Fox News was covering.
That's from Tapper, who to my knowledge remains the one and only reporter from big media pursuing this story. The Times, WaPo, broadcast news — it's a complete blackout, at least as of early this afternoon. (NBC's blog mentioned it in passing at the end of this morning's news recap, in a sneering aside about the "conservative media machine.") Why would they cede the field to Jake when he's pulling big traffic from the righty blogosphere for covering this? I don't think it's simply to protect The One; they covered Geithner's and Daschle's tax problems and they're much bigger fish. I think it's that they know Glenn Beck's been after Jones for weeks and it pains them too much to give him credence by following his lead. It's analogous to the NYT refusing to review Michelle's book even though she's been number one on their own bestseller list for more than a month. Who cares if her thesis about Obama's culture of corruption is correct and newsworthy and obviously of great public interest? They're not going to help promote the work of someone whom they dislike. The state of the media, 2009. As for Tapper, his willingness to take up stories circulating in the righty blogosphere that other outlets try to suppress might give him a lot more influence as a reporter going forward. The White House can spin the Jones story as just another Fox News vendetta against the administration if it's only FNC covering it; if ABC's on it too, that becomes impossible and the story becomes "legitimate." From now on, think of Tapper as the swing vote in the press pool, I guess.
Boldface added. That last part is truer now than it was then, before the ACORN story broke big and Beck's ratings soared even higher. The White House must be panicking at the thought that the "legitimate" media will only ignore these stories for so long before the lure of bigger, Foxier ratings finally proves too much. Ideological solidarity only goes so far; as Axelrod himself acknowledged about FNC, ultimately the news nets are in business to make money. So here he and Emanuel are, leaning on them not only to ignore Fox but to ignore stories that Fox covers, as if the underlying facts are somehow tainted by association ("Let's make sure that we keep perspective on what are the most important stories"). Creepy.

Let me deal with the necessary disclosures and disclaimers first: I am a huge fan of Moshe Milevsky, professor at York University in Toronto, prolific author and insightful analyst about retirement planning matters and my colleague here at Research magazine. It is not excessive to state that he is the world's leading authority on retirement income strategies. I am not unbiased and will not pretend to be unbiased. That said, Prof. Milevsky's new book, The 7 Most Important Equations for Your Retirement (Wiley) is a terrific read. In it he tells stories of the lives and work of the people and the ideas supporting retirement income planning today.
That Prof. Milevsky uses stories (and a light, breezy tone) is significant because we love stories. They help us to explain, understand and interpret the world around us. They also give us a frame of reference we can use to remember the concepts we take them to represent. Perhaps most significantly, we inherently prefer narrative to data—often to the detriment of our understanding because, unfortunately, our stories are so often steeped in error.
In the context of financial planning, as elsewhere, we all like to think that we carefully gather and evaluate facts and data before coming to our conclusions and telling our stories. But typically we don't.
Instead, we tend to suffer from confirmation bias and thus reach a conclusion first. Only thereafter do we gather facts, but even so tend to do so to support our preconceived conclusions. We then take our selected "facts" and cram them into our desired narratives, because narratives are so crucial to how we make sense of reality. Keeping one's analysis and interpretation of the facts reasonably objective—since analysis and interpretation are required for data to be actionable—is really hard even in the best of circumstances.
Nassim Taleb calls our tendency to create false and/or unsupported stories in an effort to legitimize our preconceived notions the "narrative fallacy." That fallacy threatens our analysis and judgment constantly. Therefore, while we may enjoy the stories and even be aided by them, we should put our faith only in the actual data, especially because they are so often in conflict. Thus our interpretations of the data need to be reevaluated constantly.
As mathematician John Allen Paulos noted in The New York Times last fall: "There is a tension between stories and statistics, and one under-appreciated contrast between them is simply the mindset with which we approach them. In listening to stories we tend to suspend disbelief in order to be entertained, whereas in evaluating statistics we generally have an opposite inclination to suspend belief in order not to be beguiled."
It is delightfully ironic, then, that Prof. Milevsky—a quant if ever there was one—uses the stories behind the great retirement income equations to bring home the importance of the data. Prof. Milevsky describes how Leonardo Fibonacci—best known for spreading the use of Arabic numbers to Europe and popularizing what came to be known as the Fibonacci sequence—ascertained present value and provided the math for calculating how long one's retirement nest egg could be expected to last while earning a fixed amount on that money and making fixed withdrawals from it. We learn that how to value an income annuity was figured out by Edmond Halley, a comet-chasing (yes—Halley's Comet) astronomer, following his father's suspicious death and a plot to kill the King of England.
Prof. Milevsky tells us how famous British actuary (to the extent that's not a contradiction in terms) Benjamin Gompertz discovered and formulated the first natural law of human mortality nearly two centuries ago. Gompertz discovered that the mortality rate for populations increases by an average of about 9% per year. Therefore, if a given population has a 10% chance of dying at age 65, the survivors will have about a 10.9% chance of dying at age 66 and those survivors will have about an 11.8% chance of dying at age 67, and so on, until the pattern breaks down at very advanced ages.
We also meet Dr. Solomon Huebner, Wharton's charismatic "father of insurance education." Huebner brought the tools of economics and human capital valuation to the life insurance industry, providing discipline and respect to a disparaged industry. His key discovery relates to human life value—the present value of wages, salary and income someone earns over a working life, which can and should be insured in the same way property is insured; this allowed life insurance to become an important financial planning tool. He even demonstrated how to calculate the present value of a life insurance policy.
Prof. Milevsky introduces us to Irving Fisher (who provided the foundation for life-cycle finance), to Paul Samuelson (who recognized that a longer time horizon doesn't diversify risk away and scolded a young Prof. Milevsky for publishing a paper claiming otherwise, inspiring him to do better) and, finally, to the Soviet mathematical prodigy Andrei Nikolaevich Kolmogorov. Kolmogorov advanced many fields, but Prof. Milevsky focuses upon an algorithm that can be used to provide a one-number summary that quantifies the sustainability of a retirement plan.
As told by Prof. Milevsky, the stories of these seven men and the equations supporting their work are interesting and fun. He even concludes with a poem about the stories and individuals in the book written by his 11 year-old daughter. But they are much more than entertaining.
Bear Stearns won a famous 2002 litigation involving former Fed Governor and Bear Chief Economist Wayne Angell over advice he and the firm gave to a client (colorfully) named Count Henryk de Kwiatkowski after the Count lost hundreds of millions of dollars following that advice. The jury awarded a huge verdict to the Count but the appellate court reversed, holding that brokers cannot be liable for honest opinions that turn out to be wrong when providing advice on non-discretionary accounts.
What is significant for our purposes was a line of testimony offered at trial by then-Bear CEO Jimmy Cayne. Cayne apparently thought that Bear could be in trouble so he took a creative and disarmingly honest position given how aggressive Bear was in promoting Angell's alleged expertise. Cayne brazenly asserted that Angell was merely an "entertainer" whose advice should never give rise to liability.
Economists are right only 35-40% of the time, Cayne testified. "They don't really have a good record as far as predicting the future," he said. "I think that it is entertainment, but he probably doesn't think it is" (and I doubt that the Count was much amused). "I don't know how he spends most of his time," asserted Cayne. "He travels a lot and visits people and has lunches and dinners and he is an entertainer."
In an odd sense, Cayne was precisely if hypocritically correct in that instance. There is nothing wrong with using or being assisted by a good story. But stories aren't facts and should never be treated and relied upon as such, entertaining as they often are.
Happily for us, Prof. Milevsky uses good, entertaining stories—designed to lead to good conversations—to provide practical (and accurate!) building blocks to help us think carefully and critically about life, money and retirement. In this telling, the equations, the data and the stories all align to provide the critical foundation necessary for important decisions to be made about retirement income planning and the future. I highly encourage you to read The 7 Most Important Equations for Your Retirement.

text: Back COPD and Summer Heat Becoming overheated can put people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) at risk for serious illness. Stay cool this summer with the following tips: Watch weather reports and plan outings for the coolest days. On hot days, avoid the city, where the temperature is hotter. If you live in the city, stay in a cool place indoors. Check the air quality index (AQI) for daily ozone and particle pollution conditions in your area. Watch your local weather report and read the newspaper for AQI information, or go to the AIRNow website. Drink plenty of fluids, even if you are not thirsty or active. Avoid caffeine and alcohol, which can dehydrate you. Ask your health care provider how much you should drink when it's hot. Use air conditioning. If you don't have it at home, spend time at air-conditioned locations. Options include senior centers, libraries, or malls. Have a friend check on you if you live or spend time alone. Wear light-weight, loose-fitting clothing. Take a cool shower or bath. Eat small meals, rather than large meals, which may cause discomfort in hot weather. Exercise indoors at a gym, pulmonary rehabilitation center, a mall, or a large store. Call for medical help for new or worsening symptoms or if your breathing worsens.

I think I made it clear how much the iPad was a big letdown for me.
I really like my Mac laptop, but carting it around is actually quite straining on my shoulders. Last week I saw a small netbook selling for a quite reasonable 25,700 yen. I wanted more time to think about it, and knowing that the iPad was coming, I held off.
Last Saturday I went to the Shibuya Apple store and had a play with the Macbook Air. When it came out, I didn't see the point of it. Actually it was just really hard to see the value behind the extraordinary price tag. BUT.. just picking it up got me thinking about it again.
Today the stars must have been aligned because I saw a Macbook Air, albeit an old 2008 model, in good condition for a GREAT price. In fact it was a comparable price to the competition. I checked out the going rate and confirmed this was a good deal. I put it on hold and later I went to get it.
I'm really happy with it. Sure, it has it's limitations, but much less I think than the iPads and netbooks. I got a good 5 hours testing out the battery today too. Better than my one and half on my other laptop.
A relative recently bought a nice Sigma 50mm 1.4 lens which got me curious about a possible addition to my camera. I'm primarily interested in the low light benefits and sharp pics, but some narrow depth of field definitely wouldn't go astray.
So, armed with my SD card I went to Yodobashi to take a few samples. I tried a Nikon 50mm 1.4G and 1.4D, and a Sigma 50mm 1.4.
I only took a few shots at 1.4. The G and D were nice lenses. Auto focus on this lens makes a huge difference. With such a narrow depth of field, manual focus was quite difficult.
I preferred the Sigma out of the three. The Nikons were quite similar to me, and much darker than the Sigma which came out noticeably brighter on the same settings. I'm no photography expert though. That's just my opinion from my brief play.
If I find one of these at the right price, it might be a good impulse buy. Oh no.

I got a great price. I don't want to disclose it here. Just to let you know, I thought it was a mistake when I saw it. Let's just say I don't really care about iPad at all now. If Apple priced this what I paid, they would've sold a whole LOT more of them. It's a great machine ;)

Microsoft touts updated Windows, new search technologies at conference
SAN FRANCISCO -- Microsoft obviously believes in the old motto that if at first you don't succeed, try, try again.
At a developer conference here, company officials unveiled a new version of its flagship Windows software, announced that it's opening up technologies from its Bing search engine for programmers to use in their apps and touted new smartphones running its Windows Phone software.
In his keynote presentation at the Build conference, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer acknowledged that Windows 8, which the company released last year, irked some users of traditional PCs by forcing them to use a new touch-based start screen and by removing the iconic Windows Start button. Ballmer didn't apologize, but did note that Microsoft has moved to address those complaints in Windows 8.1, the updated version of the software that's due out later this year.
"We pushed boldly with Windows 8. (But) we got feedback from traditional Windows users who asked, 'Why don't you refine the blend here' " between the new and old interfaces, Ballmer said. He added, "The future of Windows is very, very bright."
The conference comes as some of Microsoft's consumer business lines have struggled. According to analysts, shipments of Windows 8 have been disappointing, thanks in part to the decline in sales of traditional PCs. But Microsoft has yet to gain much traction in the tablet market, and Windows Phone, its smartphone operating system, is an afterthought in a market dominated by Google's (GOOG) Android and Apple (AAPL). While Microsoft's Bing search engine has gained share, its success has largely come at the expense of Microsoft partner Yahoo (YHOO) and has done nothing to displace Google as the dominant search provider.
But analysts and software developers said the announcements indicate that Microsoft -- and perhaps its partners -- is heading in the right direction.
"They're setting themselves up for a nice holiday season this year," said Carolina Milanesi, an analyst with market research firm Gartner.
Many of Microsoft's announcements here concerned Windows 8.1. With the new software, Microsoft is returning its iconic Start button to the lower left corner of the desktop and will allow users to boot directly to the desktop interface.
The refined version of Windows is what Microsoft should have released last year, said Ben Bajarin, a principal analyst at Creative Strategies, a technology consulting firm.
"It took them a while to get things right," said Bajarin. But he added, "They definitely took a step forward."
Ballmer and his team did have a few surprises for attendees. Windows 8.1 will provide native support for 3-D printing, for example, making it easier for consumers to take concepts they've developed on their computer and create real-world objects out of them. And the software will support touchless gestures, allowing cooks in a kitchen, for example, to be able to move up and down a Web page without having to touch their screen.
Perhaps the biggest announcement, though, was that Microsoft is trying to turn Bing into a "platform,"allowing developers to incorporate a range of Bing technologies beyond its search engine into their applications. Programmers will have access to Bing's text recognition and visual search capabilities and its support for natural interfaces, such as touch. Microsoft executive Gurdeep Singh-Pall demonstrated a sample application that allowed users to ask aloud about the architect of a museum building in Spain they were viewing in Microsoft's Map application. The system quickly returned an answer.
The demo was "amazing," said Todd Garrison, a developer for San Francisco-based Great Place to Work. "They're trying to out-Google Google."
But Microsoft didn't address all of its problems at the conference, developers and analysts said. Company officials said little about Windows Phone, for example. And they said little about bulking up the sparse Windows app store, beyond announcing that Facebook and Flipboard are coming. To have greater success, they're going to have to have a lot more of those tier-one apps," said Patrick Moorhead, an industry analyst with Moor Insights & Strategy, a consulting firm.

Carole "Imani" Parker and Jobs for Youth Apprenticeship Program
For the month of June, poet, educator, and inspirational speaker Carole "Imani" Parker blogs about her work with the P&W–supported Jobs for Youth Apprenticeship Program (JFYAP) at Medgar Evers College, a job readiness program she once directed.
As former director of JFYAP, I write this entry with a sense of joy, sadness, and pride. When I first started working at JFYAP in 1995, it had been closed for two years. I am privileged to have been able to watch the program grow for more than fifteen years. Unfortunately, due to the current recession, the program, which was funded by the New State Department of Labor, lost its funding and was forced to close in December 2011. Because of its collaboration with the GED Plus-Division of the New York City Department of Education and Medgar Evers College, however, the remaining students in the program have been allowed to complete their education at the college.
JFYAP was established as an academic enrichment/career development program. The program was designed to provide services to "at risk" youth as well as young people who had either dropped out of traditional high schools or migrated to the United States from other countries. For more than seventeen years, JFYAP assisted hundreds of students to reach their academic and vocational goals.
Some students came with a myriad of issues, including gang involvement, illiteracy, and substance abuse. With a caring staff and creative P&W–supported writers, such as George Edward Tait, Abu Muhammad, and Radhiyah Ayobami, many of the students were able to transform their negative conditions and behavior through the art of creative writing.

Many memories of childhood and yes, adulthood, are centered around food and baking and the delicious aromas coming out of the oven.
I remember eating sweet and cinnamon-y rugelach at family gatherings as I was growing up. I served them to my daughters, and now my younger daughter, Shelly, makes these delicious cookies for many family holidays.
While it is is not commonly associated with the coming Hanukkah holiday — fried food such as latkes and doughnuts go with that — rugelach is always a welcome sweet and perfect for any family gathering.
I came across this recipe from the Associated Press, and though I love rugelach with chocolate chips rolled into it, this one sounds just as delicious.
Start to finish: 1 1/2 hours, plus chilling
Makes 48 cookies
For the dough:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, cut into chunks
1 egg yolk
3/4 cup sour cream
For the filling:
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Sift the flour into a large bowl. Add the butter, then use a pastry cutter or 2 butter knives to cut the butter into the flour until fully incorporated and the mixture resembles small peas.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and sour cream, then add to the flour mixture. Mix well to form a dough. Shape the dough into a disc, then dust with flour. Divide the disk into thirds, then wrap each piece in waxed paper. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
Meanwhile, to prepare the filling, in a food processor, combine both sugars, the pecans and cinnamon. Pulse until finely ground, then set aside.
When ready to assemble, heat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with either a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
Work with one piece of the dough at a time, leaving the others in the refrigerator until needed. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each piece of dough into a circle about 1/8-inch thick and 12- to 13-inches around. Sprinkle a bit of the filling over the dough, then use a rolling pin to gently press the topping into the dough. Use a paring knife or pizza cutter to cut the circle into 16 wedges (make 8 cuts across the circle).
One at a time, roll up each wedge starting with the wide end. Gently curl the ends inward to resemble a croissant. Sprinkle a bit of the filling over the rolled rugelach, then place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining wedges, then repeat the entire process with the remaining thirds of the dough.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until browned on top and the sugar has melted and caramelized around the sides of the cookies. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Store in airtight containers.
Melanie's Rugelach
But if want the tried-and-true rugelach recipe that we have bee making for more than 10 years in my family, here it is, courtesy of Melanie Rogacki, a co-worker from here at the Press many years ago: Thank-you Melanie.
You will thank me as you enjoy these cookies rich with the taste of cream cheese and butter.
8-ounce brick of cream cheese, softened
1 cup unsalted butter, softened (2 sticks)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons cinnamon
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup (one stick) unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts are good)
3/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Beat the cream cheese, cup of butter and salt until smooth. On low speed, beat in the flour.
Divide the dough into four portions. Flatten each portion into a disk, and wrap with plastic wrap. Chill dough disks as least one hour or overnight in the refrigerator.
When you are ready to make the rugelach, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Let the dough soften slightly, then roll out disk into a 10-inch circle.
Combine the cinnamon and sugar. Brush circle with melted butter, then sprinkle with sugar mixture, then sprinkle with chopped nuts. Instead of nuts, you can sprinkle with the mini chocolate chips if you want chocolate rugelach. Or you can sprinkle with nuts and chocolate chips. It's up to you!
Cut the circle into eight wedges (like a pizza), and, starting at the wide end, roll up each wedge (like a crescent roll).
Bend each cookie into a crescent shape. Place onto an ungreased cookie sheet, and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until cookies are light golden brown.
While still warm, brush tops of cookies with remaining melted butter and sprinkle with remaining cinnamon and sugar mix.
Repeat with remaining disks of dough.

With Heart and Voice
1. Praise the Lord with heart and voice;
Unto Him your anthems raise.
Sons and daughters, all rejoice;
Sound aloud your joyful praise.
2. Christ, the Lord, the Son of God,
Broke the chains which held us bound.
Life renewed, He rose again;
Praise Him with a grateful sound.
3. Praise Him for the gospel light,
For the truth to all restored;
For His love and for His might,
Lift your voice unto the Lord.
Lift your voice unto the Lord.

Developer Reading List, August 20, 2013 New books on Windows internals, JavaScript, Groovy, Python, and P=NP
Functional JavaScript
by Michael Fogus
I first came across Michael Fogus's work in his book The Joy of Clojure, which we recently excerpted. I was struck by the clarity of the prose, the meticulousness of the presentation, and the light thread of humor that ran through the text. Unlike many books today, I constantly wondered how the authors could present so much information without triggering a feeling of saturation or of excess complexity. Fogus (and his coauthor Chris Houser) found a way by use of remarkably clear presentation and a very thoughtful choice of examples.
Fogus has applied the same approach in this book, which explains how to do functional programming in JavaScript, using the Underscore.js library. The book is squarely aimed at experienced JavaScript developers as there is hand-holding through language basics. In contrast, advanced features of JavaScript that are pressed into service to accomplish his aims are explained in considerable detail. It is in some ways an excellent tutorial on little-understood mechanisms of the language.
But the real appeal is the presentation of functional programming. I can say with little expectation of being disproven that this book presents one of the finest explanations of functional programming available today. This is in part because of Fogus's style, but also because the book lacks the doctrinaire viewpoint that undercuts so many other presentations. Fogus does not try to convince you that functional is better than what you do right now, but rather explains the techniques and lets you slowly come to appreciate the value of the approach by yourself. I expect most readers will find themselves folding aspects of his presentation into their JavaScript without necessarily adopting the entire functional orientation.
The book covers the things you'd immediately expect: first-class and high-order functions, currying, purity, immutability, recursion, and related topics. What it doesn't contain is any discussion or even mention of Alonzo Church or lambda calculus. For which we can all be thankful.
The text pushes beyond these topics into component programming or composition, which is an architecture that dovetails well with the functional style. I had never particularly thought of JavaScript in the context of composition, but Fogus makes an excellent case for it by laying out some good examples and demonstrating how earlier concepts lead naturally to this approach.
One of the most popular features we've run this year has been our Reading List of Must-Have JavaScript Books: Had this book been available then, it would have taken up one of the slots and whatever book it displaced, its presence would have upgraded the list. Highly recommended.

We got a little excited last year when we heard a new Cannon Fodder game was being developed. Excitement quickly gave way to not-giving-a-fuck, though, when it turned out the game was for the Russian market and was likely never going to be released in the West.
Still, it appears while we had our collective backs turned footage of the game has been recorded and demos - albeit in Russian - released.
The above trailer looks awesome and sounds dreadful, so you might want to check out this version instead, which throws out the guitars in favour of the original's classic theme.

The water taxis connecting the different points around the Sydney Harbour are a class unto themselves. Besides providing the transfers from one point to another for the regular passengers and offering the cruises to the tourists, this mode of water transport is also a very convenient point for a planned round of specific attractions in the Sydney Harbour area, like The Rocks, art galleries and the Royal Botanic Gardens. These could become themed visits, and you could start hiring the water taxi Circular Quay market has for your trips.
Circular Quay is a Key Pick up Point
Among the number of pickup and drop off points that the water taxis touch, Circular Quay has its own strategic importance because you can do so much around this place and come back and take the water taxi to your place of stay. The service of the water taxi in Circular Quay is available all through the year; as it is throughout the Sydney Harbour. By now, most tourists are aware that it is only on Christmas Day that the water taxis don't run. Another interesting fact is that you can hire the Circular Quay water taxi any time for any number of people and up to any number of hours in terms of duration. Of course, in terms of the passenger carrying capacity, the normal ones take around 6 to 10. Beyond that if you are in a group, you would have to make a booking in advance. Similarly, the duration of the cruises starts from 15 minutes and goes on till a few hours. Any exclusive use of the water taxis has to be paid for separately and cannot be combined with the shared trips.
Many Special Trips Possible
If you have made a hotel near Circular Quay as your base, and you are desirous of discovering the areas and attractions around there, the water taxis are the best way to do this. Besides, the local residents also hire the water taxi Circular Quay vendors offer for special occasions, such as weddings, where the wedding couple and the guests use them to make transfers to and back from the wedding venue. The charter taxi operators make special arrangements to make these transfers smooth and hassle free. The happy occasion is allowed to be enjoyed fully.
Many people hire the water taxis for carrying the sacred ashes of their loved ones after the cremation and scatter them in the waters. It is a sombre occasion and the operators of water taxi sydney wide ensure that the family members get those private moments and take them to wherever they wish to do the scattering bit.
And of course, the business corporations, of which the city of Sydney has many, use the water taxis to ferry around their prestigious guests, giving them the pleasurable moments cruising around the harbour and taking pictures and so on.
The best part of the water taxis operating in these parts is obviously the period around the New Year. In particular, on the New Year eve, during the dazzling fireworks display in the Sydney Harbour, thousands sit in the boats and watch the spectacle.
