Around the middle of April this year, an email landed in my inbox, bearing the title: 'A9 it'. This was a play on the now popular term: 'Google it'. That email introduced me to a potentially awesome new development in the world of search engines. A subsidiary of Amazon.com, cloaked in the mysterious moniker of "A9", it was and still is generating some buzz.
The first thing I wondered is "what does A9 stand for?". And I'm still wondering, as no one seems to know (or at least if they do they're certainly not divulging that information). But I suppose there are far more important questions, such as:
- What is A9?
- What does it do differently than any other search engine?
- What implications will this have on the search world?
- Why is it so ugly?
I will strive to answer these questions as thoroughly as possible in the course of this article.
What is A9?
If you want a basic, over-simplified answer, I could tell you that A9 is just a new search engine. But in truth, it is so much more. A9 gives us a glimpse of what the future of search engines very well may be. It is clear that considerable effort has been put into creating an evolved search-engine, one that knows who you are and what you like. A search engine that returns results relevant not only to the query, but also relevant the person executing the query.
Now, as of yet, A9 is in beta form, so it's somewhat questionable just how personalized and relevant the results truly are yet. But despite it's youth, no doubt you will be excited as you read through some of the features and abilities already contained within the beta release!
{mospagebreak title=How is it Different?}
It's very interesting to note that because of their partnership with Google, the search results you'll get with A9 will be mostly the same as what you would with Google. I say mostly, because it appears that there is a small amount of filtering done on the page results by A9 before surfacing them (SafeSearch is an example of that, it's always on). In fact, you'll also receive a few AdSense ads with your search, as you would expect to with Google.
So why not just keep using Google? Well, A9 has gone the extra mile. Without even logging in (I'll get to that in a bit), you have some very handy features at your fingertips. The more useful features are all magically contained within one little 'site info' button. No doubt you'll feel a sense of shock and amazement at the number of features in this little button, not entirely dissimilar to that feeling you get watching all those clowns pile out of the tiny car.
The 'site info' button allows you to access useful meta data for each site, taken from Alexa (Alexa gathers anonymous web surfing data, and is also owned by Amazon). By simply moving your mouse over the button, you have a non-threatening speech bubble that appears. This bubble tells you the Traffic Rate, the number of sites linking to that site, the loading speed, and how long it has been online. Also, in a very Amazon-esque style, you can also see "People who visit this page also visit:", and the list of related pages. Finally, a truly useful tool for all those people with the innate desire to be like everyone else in their web-surfing patterns! Oh, and I guess it could come in handy when you want to find other useful sites.
A small but useful feature is the A9 short cut. Every query is simply appended to the URL, like so: "a9.com/what is a dog" This makes it extremely fast to perform a search, as you can just type it into your address bar.
{mospagebreak title=Log In?}
Now once you log in (with your Amazon username and password), the other two columns become of use to you. If you don't see these columns, look to the right, they're probably collapsed. You can just drag them out! Go on, try it! (Internet Explorer only at this point)
Anyways, the last column displays your search history. This means all the terms you searched for, and how many times. This is very similar to your surfing history in Explorer. I haven't quite found a use for this yet, but I have read the opinions of people who believe this one feature will usher in the next stage of search evolution.
Also of note is that once you're logged in, you'll see an indication of elapsed time since you clicked on any of the results. Again, this hasn't proved entirely earth-shattering in usefulness for me.
What I find most interesting is the middle column, and not for it's current abilities, but more for it's potential. Right now it simply lists results from the "Search Inside the Book" engine. This is all good, but this is also where A9 is most likely to turn their attention to in the next revision of personalization. They will have information on what you've searched for, where you've clicked, and of course past purchases and behaviors on Amazon.com. So rather than some arbitrary list of books containing the text of your search, they will have the data necessary to show only the books (and DVDs, CDs…) we're more likely to buy. And if you apply this logic to the search results, we may soon be seeing only the results that we're more likely to click on.
Now that's a powerful concept. Forget having to search for "Chinese restaurant West Toronto". Once the search engine knows enough about us, we can just ask for a restaurant, and whatever we're most likely to enjoy, whatever people like us have gone to; we can expect those results first. Now this may be in the future yet, but the very near future nonetheless!
As you would expect of anything to do with Amazon, A9 remembers who you are on your next visit, no need to log in again. This is somewhat useful as you already have your recent searches at your fingertips. I would have to say that this is much better than letting Internet Explorer remember only what you've typed into the search text field, because you also have some definition around time frames. It's much easier to find a past search where you can also remember approximately when it is you were searching for it!
So I'm sure you're as impressed as I was with all of these fancy features. But what are the implications of this start-up site for the highly competitive search engine world?
{mospagebreak title=The Impact on the Search World}
Will A9 soon bump the giants of search off of their pedestals? I highly doubt it. After all, Google must be fairly comfortable that this won't happen if they're OK to provide the back-end for the project! However, it is obvious that people generally prefer a personalized surfing experience, even if it's just a simple search.
It is also very enjoyable to have extensive information about a site at your finger tips. Perhaps more than enjoyable, this 'Site Info' button could become quite addictive, as we get used to obtaining useful site info with a simple move of the mouse.
So as far as Google, Yahoo, and MSN are concerned, there's probably no huge threat to them here. But I'm sure that if any of the A9 features really do become popular, we'll be seeing similar tools popping up throughout the SE world.
There are mixed thoughts on this subject though. At this point I am prone to side with those who see A9 as a nice search engine, with a few fancy features to be copied. However, I clearly lack vision though, as there are others who see great potential here. It has been observed that this memory-endowed, knowledge-based approach to searching could be the next Google killer. Feel free to hop on the forums, and share your opinion about this!
And does this new search engine mean anything for us as web administrators and/or search gurus? Do we need to learn new techniques to achieve higher rankings within A9? Do we need to worry about which books will surface with our website? Well, so far no, as the results are still drawn from Google. But who knows what the future holds.
Why is it So Ugly?
Sorry, despite all my research, I wasn't able to find an answer for this one. Unfortunately the year put into developing the beta engine doesn't seem to have included time for UI consideration. The brown on brown color scheme gives one the overwhelming feeling of being in a very old and dull library (how fitting for Amazon). Hopefully the next revision will allow us a degree of personalization with our own color scheme!
I suggest you draw your own conclusions about A9. But to do so, make some use of it. Try to control your fingers for a couple weeks – as they instinctively try to type google.com, try a9.com instead. Download the toolbar, annotate a little with the diary feature, have fun. You may find yourself hopelessly enamored with the future of personalized search!

SALEM, Mass. - After 90 scoreless minutes and less than three minutes into the first overtime period, Salem State's Owen Quane converted a penalty kick opportunity to give the host Vikings (5-2) a 1-0 non-conference win over men's soccer (4-2) Wednesday evening at Alumni Field.
The penalty kick was called after Quane was fouled by a UMass Boston defender at 93:24 in front of the Beacons goal. For Quane his goal was the third of the year, and first game-winner.
Both teams had their chances throughout Wednesday's match, with the Beacons holding a 15-14 advantage in shots. On goal, the Beacons totaled eight shots, while holding Salem State to just three shots.
UMass also held a 5-1 advantage in corner kick opportunities as well. In goal Brycen Dowd (Mansfield, MA) totaled two saves. For Salem State Scott Hall recorded eight saves to earn the victory.
Stefanos Galouzis (Watertown, MA) led the Beacons offense with three shots on goal. Victor Rosario was credited with two shots on target, and Luis Saquich (Marlborough, MA), Kevin Jago (Quincy, MA), and Victor Hugo Costa (Malden, MA) each recorded one shot.
Men's soccer returns to action on Saturday when they travel to Rhode Island College for a Little East Conference match. Start time is scheduled for 1 p.m.

How to secure a commercial loan: a lender's inside scoop
From bakers and brew masters to dentists and doctors, all business owners have one thing in common – they all need money. That fact is true regardless of the stage: starting, expanding or continuing their operations. Securing financing for a business can be one of the most overwhelming tasks an entrepreneur will ever face.
Lenders ask the same questions and look at certain criteria when evaluating loan requests no matter the amount of money a business owner needs.
What's the Plan?
Lenders want to know how much money will be personally invested in the business, how much money the creditor is being asked to fund and how the money will be used. For a startup company, you will need to present more than the basics. You'll need to show a business plan, giving the opportunity to answer the aforementioned questions as well as the following:
- Who will own and operate the business?
- What experience and/or qualifications do you have to operate the business?
- What will the business sell/provide?
- Who is your target market?
- What is your marketing plan?
For a company that has already been in business two or more years, lenders will require current balance sheets, profit and loss statements, and interim balance sheets. It's a good idea to bring personal tax returns and financial statements, as well.
Money Makes the Business World Go Round
Once the lender has reviewed your business plan and expertise, they will move on to the money. For a startup, the first question a lender will ask is how much money is needed to start the business and make it profitable. Think about working capital such as inventory, real estate, equipment and furniture.
The next question is how much money will you personally contribute to the business? Actual cash investment by the business owner is necessary. An existing business will need to present its current balance sheet to demonstrate how much has already been invested and how the money was spent. All of this information will be reviewed to determine how much actual cash investment remains after paying out expenses and providing a living for the business owner.
These questions will be evaluated by the lender to determine if the business will operate soundly, that the debt burden does not place unreasonable demands on the profits of the business to repay the debt, and that you have enough capital at risk to keep you committed to the success of the business.
The Payment Terms
The biggest challenge business owners face when seeking a loan is showing the lender how and when they will pay the money back. This is the chance to prove to the lender that your earnings will be enough to repay the loan.
To accomplish this goal, existing business owners should bring historical operating statements to showcase prior sales, expenses and profits. If you're new to this, provide projections of sales, expenses and profits for the next two to three years, and an annual budget of cash expected from sales. Industry and market research data can serve to back up your projections.
Borrowing money is all about convincing the lender that you have the capital needed to succeed, the ability to repay the loan, the character and skill to implement the plan and the collateral to serve as backup. When entrepreneurs clearly understand the process and questions a lender will ask, they are adequately prepared to go out and secure a loan that will help their business succeed.

How do you become a leader in philanthropy? There's no one set path, of course, but the Southeastern Council of Foundations, a network of over 360 foundations in 11 states, has started a unique program that aims to groom the next generation of philanthropic leaders.
Since 2000, the Hull Fellows program each year accepts about 20 young or new foundation staff and trustees from the SECF member foundations, like The Duke Endowment and The Patterson Foundation. The one year fellowship focuses on developing leadership skills while learning the history of philanthropy, emerging issues in the field, and practicing philanthropy in the context of the American South.
The Hull program emphasizes academic study of the philanthropic landscape, while also underscoring each student's place within the field. The program curriculum changes slightly year to year, but recently the program has started off with a personal leadership assessment in the form of a Myers-Briggs personality test to help identify leadership strengths (and weaknesses) so the student can build on them throughout the year. Fellows are then, based on their profile, matched with a mentor, typically a foundation leader, who acts as a "sounding board" throughout the Fellows' year long journey.
The bulk of the academic curriculum is picked up via monthly webinars. The most recent session was led by SECF's president and CEO Janine Lee. Before the gathering, she assigned readings by her mentor, Dr. John W. Gardner. Gardner was the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare under President Lyndon Johnson and later the president of the Carnegie Foundation. In Lee's presentation, she reflected on the key elements of his philosophy, like the definition of leadership as "authentic influence that creates value", and how she employed this idea in her own career. These sessions are followed by a Q & A. Next month's webinar will be conducted by the vice president of the Southern Education Foundation; he will address the history of philanthropy in the region.
Fellows also partake in a 3-day, 4-night-long retreat for education and team building purposes. One day may start with a seminar overview of how philanthropic methods and objectives changed throughout history, from, say, donor-advised funds in the Great Depression to today's rage for social impact investing. The Fellows might break into groups to discuss the pros and cons of each style, before cutting loose to bond and build leadership skills on a ropes course.
In the afternoon they may work through a philanthropic case study fraught with ethics issues. At night, they'll have a fireside chat with a foundation CEO about various topics, such as fostering diversity within a foundation or "servant leadership", a philosophy of leadership characterized by a desire to serve a group rather than to wield power over them. The idea is to converse and connect with peers and leaders, in a relaxed setting, about the issues they care about most.
The Hull Fellows program culminates in a project presented at the SECF annual meeting. Fellows divide up into groups and delve deeper into an aspect of philanthropy that interests them most. Last year a group of students surveyed SECF members about their use of social media and technology in philanthropy, then compared the findings with national studies of the same topic in order to benchmark where the southeast is along this communications trajectory compared to the trend in the country overall.
The program costs $2,000 all-in for the young council members chosen for the course. For more information, to garner lessons for your own philanthropic organizations, or to apply directly if you are in the Southeast, see the SECF site.

A shower of science
Kids and their parents react to an explosion that caused it to rain ping-pong balls on the front lawn of the Lepper
Library. It was part of Dr. Dave'sWhiz Bang Science Show, part of the finale of the library's summer reading
program. Using liquid nitrogen Dr. Dave used pressure caused by molecules changing from a liquid to a gas to
explode a pop bottle that sent ping-pong balls flying into the air. The students learned throughout the day how
molecules behave when they are a solid, liquid and gas and how man uses these principles to fly and propel
planes and rockets through the air. Morning Journal/Patti Schaeffer

Day 1 and Warner Bros. Interactive detailed the four modes that will make up the F.E.A.R. 3 multiplayer today, giving gamers a glimpse at what's in store in F**king Run, Contractions, Soul Survivor, and Soul King via the trailer below:
Our friends at IGN went hands-on with the multiplayer and provide their thoughts in this preview. They also landed this gem of a quote from designer Ki Wolf-Smith, who deftly describes what Day 1 is shooting for in the F.E.A.R. 3 multi:
"We wanted [F.E.A.R. 3's multiplayer] to be a very F.E.A.R., unique experience," Wolf-Smith told IGN. "So by not just having deathmatch... we wanted it to be like, 'Holy crap, this is different, this is fresh, this is fun.' When you want to play F.E.A.R. multiplayer and you want that F.E.A.R. experience, you're going to come to F.E.A.R. to play the multiplayer. You can play deathmatch in a hundred games."
F.E.A.R. 3 is being developed for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Windows PCs. The game is set for release on May 24.
Sharkey says: The F.E.A.R. franchise is all about the scares, so it's one of those titles, for me, that simply doesn't need a multiplayer. However, as Ubisoft proved with Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, if you base the multiplayer on what makes the single-player so fun, you can create a worthwhile experience online. It appears Day 1 is hoping to do the same. Wise choice.

Holiday Traditions
May be a liitle late to ask - being Christmas Eve and all - but a radio talk show I was listening to this morning was asking callers what their holiday traditions were. I thought it might be interesting to hear what some of you guys do traditionally on the holidays.
In my family, we get together every year on Christmas Eve, light up the tree, put on some old holiday LP's (my parents still have a working record player!), and play board games ... usually Scrabble. I dunno how it got started, but with the addition of in-laws and such, the annual Christmas Eve Scrabble game has become a serious family competition - so much so that new additions to the family are somewhat judged by their Scrabble acumen.
Sure, sounds like a lame tradition, but it's been the basis for some of my fondest holiday memories. While taken seriously, the Scrabble game is really more of an opportunity for the family to sit down, have a beverage, and enjoy each other's company and conversation. Hard to explain, but there's something charming about it all, really...
What do some of you guys do?

Holiday Traditions
My newest tradition is, I moved to the beach in Texas to have the sun and warmth. I\'m soon to be 53 years old and have never seen a white Christmas until now. This is the last place I thought I\'d ever see a white Christmas but it\'s 1:21 a.m. Christmas morning and it\'s been snowing all day. I have about 4 inches of snow on my truck and the ground is covered. I guess if I can see a white Christmas on this island then the Saints can win a Super Bowl in my life time.
Holiday Traditions
I know what ya mean of a white christmas JoeSam. I drove through snow for 6 hours(normally takes me 2 hrs) to get from San Antonio to my hometown of Kingsville Tx. We got 8 freakin inches of snow there, most ever. We normally due xmas with the wifey\'s family on xmas eve, but she had to work, so we did all the xmas stuff in the morning, then napped , then woke up, grabbed a cold beer and watchd old xmas videos and so on. Good times. Normally go watch a movie with them fams on xmas day as well, but definatly alot of cold brews.

Jason Aldean 'Takes a Little Ride' to the Top of the iTunes All-Genre Chart
As anticipated, Jason Aldean's new single, 'Take a Little Ride,' has already blown up since impacting country radio this week. The tune made such an impressive debut that it is already sitting at No. 1 on iTunes' all-genre singles chart, blazing past big pop artists like Katy Perry and Flo Rida.
'Take a Little Ride' is the debut single from Aldean's forthcoming fifth studio album, which is slated for release later this fall. Penned by Rodney Clawson, Jim McCormick and Dylan Altman, 'Take a Little Ride' is a song that quickly shaped up to be an Aldean-sounding hit the day the trio wrote the tune.
"We've never come out of the box and gone to No. 1 so quickly," says Aldean of the song's fast success. "I added the song into my set this weekend on the road for the first time, and everything is feeling really great out there. I couldn't have asked for a better kick off for this new album … my fans are unbelievable."
This past weekend, Aldean sold out two more dates — St. Louis, Mo. and Indianapolis, Ind. — on his 2012 My Kinda Party Tour. Amazingly, 44,000 tickets were snatched up in just four minutes. Aldean's which, that also features Luke Bryan, has sold out every stop along the way thus far.

P Mac takes the opportunity to set the record straight on DYoung. Which...I still think is weird. I mean, other than using this as an opportunity to send a message to all the USTA youngsters, what's the point? Why throw this kid (ok, he's not a kid, he's 21 years old) under the bus and air out his dirty laundry? You won't withdraw USTA support so the only stick you have is public shaming?
Sure, I guess he kind of asked for it when he went stupid on Friday, but still. Why not be the adults here? Organizing a conference call because Donald Young, someone no one outside of the tennis world knows exists, said "Fuck you"?
Anyway, apparently DYoung has apologized to the relevant parties.
That said, there defintely came a point today while my Twitter stream was lighting up with presser quotes when a lightbulb flicked on in my head: Why do I care? I have already spent more time thinking about Donald Young and the USTA in the last four days than I have in the last four years.
So yeah. I'm done. This whole thing made me feel icky.

A couple of weeks ago, I finally did something I had toyed with for a few years. I went to the barber and had him give me a buzz cut all the way down to a 1. That's pretty short. It's 1/8 of an inch. It was a scary and exciting experience sitting in that chair, but once the deed was done, I knew it was the right call. Even the previously hesitant barber had to admit my new look wasn't all that bad.
One of the worrisome parts of lopping off your hair is wondering what kinds of reactions it will bring. Well, it turned out, family, friends, and colleagues all had nothing but love for the buzz. But what about my students?
When I saw them the first day with the buzz, the boy closest to me let his jaw drop to the floor, stood up, and pointed to my crown and said, "I LIKE THAT!" You little bucket filler, you. Throughout the day, kids smiled widely as they seemed to be saying and thinking, "I can't believe he did that…Wow!" It was kind of fun to watch the reactions of students current and former.
Just when everyone had gotten used to the new look, I decided it was finally time to go all the way. So the day after Thanksgiving, I got out the shaving cream and razor, lathered up, and shaved it all off. I looked back in the mirror at my chrome dome and said, once more, "Yes, this was the right move."
Again, I had to anticipate reactions. It turned out most people were far less shocked by the shave than they were the buzz. But it was the students who, by far, said the most interesting things.
When I picked up my students in the auditorium yesterday, I sat behind them quietly so they could have the surprise of my shiny head.
One spotted me and did a double-take. His eyes grew wide as he looked from my eyes to my head and back. He was flummoxed. He must have been wondering, "Am I really seeing what I think I'm seeing?" Finally, when he could summon the words, he said, "What…what did you do?" Not exactly a resounding affirmation of my smoothness, but the reaction is worth remembering.
I had a lot of, "Ohhhhhh!" when former students saw me. Others had nothing to say but showed their surprise in their not-so-discreet faces.
One student today, kind of out of the blue, as if he was first noticing a change on my skull, said, "Why did your hair stop growing?" Haha.
And then of course, there was my other student who, in the middle of a reading assessment, had to stop just so he could ask, "What happened to your hair?" I said, "What do you mean, 'what happened?' I shaved it off!" He thought about it for just a moment, and before I knew it, his hand was giving my head a pat just to see what it was like.
But, I think the best line came from one of last year's students – the boy with the paper clips – who spotted me in the lunchroom today. Last week, when he saw the buzz cut, he said, "IS THAT YOU, MR. RAY? WOW." This time, though, he was a bit more shocked although no less determined to ask me about the look. I had to laugh when he questioned me, saying, "Hey! Mr. Ray! You got…YOU GOT NO HAIR?!?"
Ah, kids.

An assisted living residence or assisted living facility (ALF) is a housing facility for people with Disability or for adults who cannot or choose not to live independent living. The term is popular in the United States but is similar to a retirement home in the sense that facilities provide a group living environment and typically cater to an older adult population. There is also Caribbean assisted living, which offers a similar service, in a resort-like environment (like assisted vacationing).
Assisted living exemplifies the shift from "care as service" to "care as business" in the broader health care arena predicted more than three decades ago.Starr, P. 1982. The Social Transformation of American Medicine. New York: Basic Books. A consumer-driven industry, assisted living offers a wide range of options, levels of care, and diversity of services (Lockhart, 2009) and is subject to state rather than federal regulatory oversight. "Assisted living" means depends on both the state and provider in question: variations in state regulatory definitions are significant and provider variables include everything from philosophy, geographic location and auspice, to organizational size and structure. Assisted living evolved from small "board and care" or "personal care" homes and offers a "social model" of care (compared to the medical model of a skilled nursing facility). The assisted living industry is a segment of the senior housing industry and assisted living services can be delivered in stand-alone facilities or as part of multi-level senior living community. The industry is fragmented and dominated by for-profit providers. In 2010, only six of the seventy largest providers were non-profit and none of the top twenty was non-profit (Martin, 2010). Information in this edit is from an article published in 2012 that reviewed the industry and reports results of a research study of assisted living facilities.Cirka, C.C., & Messikomer, C.M. 2012. Behind the facade: Aligning artifacts, values and assumptions in assisted living. Business & Professional Ethics Journal, 31 (1), 79 - 107.
In 2012 the U.S. Government estimated that there were 22,200 assisted living facilities in the U.S. (compared to 15,700 nursing homes) and that 713,300 people were residents of these facilities.CDC, Long Term Care Services, 2013, https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nsltcp/long_term_care_services_2013.pdf The number of assisted living facilities in the U.S. has increased dramatically since the early 2000s.
In the U.S., ALFs can be owned by for-profit companies (publicly traded companies or limited liability companies [LLCs]), non-profit organizations, or governments. These facilities typically provide supervision or assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs); coordination of services by outside health care providers; and monitoring of resident activities to help to ensure their health, safety, and well-being. Assistance often includes the administration or supervision of medication, or personal care services.
There has been controversy generated by reports of neglect, abuse and mistreatment of residents at assisted living facilities in the U.S.
More recently built facilities are designed with an emphasis on ease of use for disabled people. Bathrooms and kitchens are designed with wheelchairs and walker (tool)s in mind. Hallways and doors are extra-wide to accommodate wheelchairs. These facilities are by necessity fully compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) or similar legislation elsewhere.
The socialization aspects of ALFs are very beneficial to the occupants. Normally the facility has many activities scheduled for the occupants, keeping in mind different disabilities and needs.
The investigation found dozens of incidents of gross mismanagement and criminal behavior at assisted living facilities across Florida, a state of 20 million people which is popular with American retirees. The newspaper requested the release of state documents related to the deaths of over 300 people in assisted living facilities between 2003 and 2011 but were denied these documents. Still, the newspaper's investigation found no less than 70 people who had died due to the "actions of their caregivers."Miami Herald, April 30, 2011 5:00 AM, NEGLECTED TO DEATH | Part 2: Assisted-living facility caretakers unpunished: 'There's a lack of justice', http://www.miamiherald.com/news/special-reports/neglected-to-death/article1938087.html The deaths were found to have resulted from the mismanagement of assisted living facilities and by the practices of their staff and managers who drugged residents, deprived them of basic necessities such as food and water, abused residents verbally, psychologically and physically, and neglecting their needs.
At the time the documentary was broadcast and published, ''Frontline'' stated that, "Today, nearly 750,000 people live in assisted living facilities across the country. National for-profit chains, concerned both about caring for their residents and pleasing their shareholders, have come to dominate the industry. Standards for care and training—and even definitions for the term 'assisted living'—vary from state to state. Assisted living facilities, unlike nursing homes, are not regulated by the federal government." An accompanying written brief cites deaths of residents, facilities that are understaffed, employees that are inadequately trained, and that an overall "push to fill facilities and maximize revenues has left staff overwhelmed and the care of residents endangered."
A related article by ''ProPublica'' (Thomson and Jones, July 29, 2013) states that a facility operated by Emeritus Senior Living "...had been found wanting in almost every important regard. And, in truth, those 'specially trained' staffers hadn't actually been trained to care for people with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, a violation of California law." It goes on to say, "The facility relied on a single nurse to track the health of its scores of residents, and the few licensed medical professionals who worked there tended not to last long," but also that "During some stretches, the facility went months without a full-time nurse on the payroll." ''ProPublica's'' article claimed the problem was not specific to one facility and that "State inspectors for years had cited Emeritus facilities across California." Emeritus replied to that claim, describing "any shortcomings as isolated," as well as that "any problems that arise are promptly addressed." The company cited their "growing popularity as evidence of consumer satisfaction."
Personal care and assisted living in PA are regulated by the Pennsylvania Bureau of Human Services Licensing (a division of the Department of Human Services).
Assisted living accommodations would often include a scheme manager or a team of support staff, nurses and care staff onsite, 24-hour emergency alarm systems, communal lounges to socialise with other residents. Assisted living housing is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

This post first appeared on HMA Time (1.7.11) and is cross-posted with permission. Alison Bailin is a senior PR account executive at HMA PR, a full-service marketing and public relations firm in Phoenix, Arizona, where she handles media relations, crisis communications, and event planning.
This week, I (Alison, that is), took part in a BurrellesLuce webinar titled "The 12 Essential Talents of Marketing Communications Leadership… and other Lessons Learned from Harry Potter."
The program was moderated by Johna Burke and hosted by Alan Cohen, who actually worked on the initial promotion for the Harry Potter books in the United States.
Some key insights I learned as a result:
- Kids can read! Kidding. But one of the main reasons I joined into this webinar was my absolute kudos that one literary phenomenon could prove that people do still, indeed, have imaginations.
- Who we are and what we're made of is as much about choices as abilities. Even Dumbledore said so!
- Dumbledore is key. Turns out, almost every single talent is something Dumbledore does, not Harry, as I assumed when I signed up. I love a good twist in my webinars as well as my books.
- Social media is like Harry Potter wizardry (thanks to Johna for asking this question)! Everyone has a voice and has the power to influence and inspire – no wand required.
- Much like the evil Lord Voldemort at Hogwarts, there is a deadly character spreading around businesses – disengagement!
And, of course, the 12 Essential Talents:
- Acute awareness of self and others. Treat others as creative, trustworthy and responsible just as Harry did so many times with Hermione, and others…
- Challenge perceptions and interpretations – Dumbledore was a great wizard but kept and open mind. Those scared of feedback make mistakes.
- Think like a visionary. Help people see and touch your values. Be clear and concise. For Alan, his PR team shared a vision to make that book a success and saw everything as an opportunity. Gave them ability to constantly move forward
- Creating alignment as it creates a North Star to set compasses by. Let small steps and victories, like winning a Quidditch match, keep you aligned toward the bigger goal.
- Act decisively. Decision making is shared leadership quality. Make sure people have enough information so they can also make decisions. Share decision making!
- Engage others! You do not do it alone. The more you serve the more impact you have on your team. Go deeper. Go under the stairs. Learn about people – you may have a Harry Potter in your midst
- Possess powerful energy. Dumbledore looked about a million years old but was such a force, he was a great leader to all ages. Lord Voldemort had energy too, but it was intimidating and he lost in the end.
- Emotional intelligence. It's a bigger predictor of success than IQ! Create space between stimulus and response and remain calm as Dumbledore often did. Look at how you react versus how you want to react. Often, you need to just slow down a bit and ensure you are not leading with fear.
- Communicate dynamically! It isn't just about what you say, but how you say. And, it's also about actually very much about listening – within and between the lines. Be present. Care. Try to understand. How do you use your words? Seek clarity.
- See patterns and trends. Left brain is where verbal, rational thoughts turn to numbers and words. Right brain is all about the visual. Try using both sides – see the full story!
- Create high-energy teams. You need your Harry's, Ron's and Hermione's. Everyone has a gift. Everyone has weaknesses. Leverage the good stuff to fight the bad!
- Display integrity through consistency and authority.
The white paper on the topic is also available by clicking here.
So, is Dumbledore the world's greatest leader?
And how can you "Potterize" your leadership role among your friends, colleagues and family?

PISTONS NOTES: Pistons' inside game falls to Lakers outside shooting
Detroit scored 76 points in the paint, which is a season-high in the NBA this season, but it wasn't enough to defeat Los Angeles' outside shooting.
The Lakers hit 14 3-pointers, while the Pistons hit just 1 of 8 in the Los Angeles' 106-102 victory.
The Lakers shot 45.2 percent from 3. Wesley Johnson went 6 for 7, while Shawne Williams was 6 or 11.
"We gotta figure out our defensive schemes," Pistons guard Brandon Jennings said. "We're switching like five plays down then the next we're not. Guys are just confused down the stretch. We need to figure out from the coaches from us, we all need to figure out what are we doing and what defenses are we in."
Offense falters
Jennings scored six straight points to put the Pistons up 99-91 with 4:22 left Friday. The Pistons scored just three points the rest of the way.
The Lakers went on a 12-0 run before Jennings hit a jumper with 50.2 seconds left.
Jennings had a chance to tie the game when he was fouled shooting a 3-pointer with 16.7 seconds, but hit just one of the three free throws.
"I kind of put that on myself for missing those two free throws down the stretch," Jennings said. "That's something I live for. I'm a guy that's been known to knock them down. To see two of them rattle in and out, that hurts."
Los Angeles' Jordan Farmar missed two free throws, leaving the door open for the Pistons.
Detroit went to Rodney Stuckey on their final two possessions. Stuckey missed a running layup on the first one, but the Pistons caught a break when the rebound went off the Lakers.
The Pistons went to Stuckey again and he was forced to pass to Josh Smith, who was called for a charge.
"I missed a layup that I should have made when I took the ball out," Stuckey said. "The last play, I didn't have anywhere to go so I wasn't trying to force it. Josh was right there, I threw him the ball. It's just what it was. At the end of the day it's a game. We'll watch game film, try to get better, try to get one on Sunday."
Jennings didn't touch the ball on the final two Pistons' possessions despite scoring Detroit's last 11 points. Jennings was 5 for 7 in the fourth quarter. He was asked if he wanted the ball on the final possessions and said, "Yeah of course.
"Not even trying to shoot the ball, just trying to make something happen," Jennings said. "We also got another guy, Stuckey, who can make something happen too. He's way stronger than me so he can get in there and get fouls. I kind of feel like I had it going a little bit in the fourth, knocking down some shots and also getting to the basket. But hey we just gotta roll with it."
Drummond sits
Andre Drummond picked up his fourth foul with 9:09 left in the third quarter. Pistons coach Mo Cheeks elected not to play Drummond the rest of the game, sitting Drummond the final 21 minutes.
"I could have did that, but I thought we needed to score," Cheeks said of putting Drummond back in the game. "That was the reason why I didn't. He had the four fouls and (the Lakers) had the small lineup out there. When they had the small lineup out there I thought we needed to score, that's why I kept Greg (Monroe) in the game as opposed to Andre. But hindsight is 20-20. I could have put him back in and he probably could have got a couple of those rebounds because one possession they had three or four offensive rebounds and that allowed them to get another 3-point shot."
The Lakers had six offensive rebounds in the fourth quarter, including three on one possession during Los Angeles' 12-0 run that saw the Lakers go from down eight to up four.
Drummond finished with 13 points and 11 rebounds in 16 minutes. He put the blame on himself for not playing much in the second half.
"It's tough," Drummond said. "I made a stupid play, got a foul, got my fourth, have to sit on the bench. It was my fault. I should have never took the foul, but it happens. It's a domino effect, one thing leads to another and everybody starts to fall."

Student teaching happened to it (at least as far as progress halting). Plus, I can't find it after a pretty much mandatory re-format Thankfully since then I've gotten a nice external HD that everything gets backed up to. I could probably look at the JPEGs of it from this site and try and draw up a decent replacement, if there's the interest for it. I do feel like this more recent map at least has a bit more potential though, since it covers an actual conflict.

The BBC TV crew's visit to Well Street Market went really well, and the item about the shopkeepers' plight ran on Tuesday evening's BBC TV's London Regional News.
They showed both Noorjahan Baiyat's shop, Trust Shoes, and George Edwards' Wholefood Shop, and interviewed both shop-owners.
They also interviewed WESTRA's (Well Street Traders and Residents Association's) Ian Rathbone, and the Charities' representative, Geoff Taylor.
The programme is watched by hundreds of thousands of Londoners, and the word is getting around in a big way!

EPA Appoints New Heads of Two Independent Science Advisory Committees
Release Date: 11/16/2012
Contact Information: Stacy Kika, email@example.com, 202-564-0906, 202-564-4355
WASHINGTON – U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lisa P. Jackson has appointed two engineers to serve as the Chairs of two independent Federal Advisory Committees, the EPA Science Advisory Board (SAB) and the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC). Dr. David Allen, an internationally recognized engineer specializing in air quality will serve as the SAB Chair, and Dr. H. Christopher Frey, an environmental engineer expert in quantitative methods for dealing with variability and uncertainty, will serve as the CASAC Chair. They each will serve a two-year term.
"At EPA, using the best science available as we work to protect human health and the environment is critical. I'm honored to appoint Dr. David Allen and Dr. H. Christopher Frey, who will bring their expertise and unique talents to the helm of the SAB and CASAC, respectively, and help us ensure that science remains the backbone of all we do," said EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson. "We're grateful to Dr. Deborah Swackhamer, outgoing SAB chair, and Dr. Jonathan Samet, outgoing CASAC chair, for their dedicated service and leadership over the past four years."

I'm dialyzing for the second time on my trip through the Grand Canyon, this was the most challenging treatment. The video starts with the question what did you think about today's treatment?
In the middle, I'm talking about not wanting to leave my name in the canyon, or on the river, because we came to the realization that the only time you get something named for you is if it kills you ... thankfully there isn't a NxStage rapids or the Peckham cliffs.
In the end I'm thinking about how rafting white water is analogous to dialyzing. For most people dialysis isn't a float trip. Most people using dialysis see more than their share of rapids, and just like rafting to get through dialysis rapids you need your own momentum. You shouldn't just stick out your arm and turn your head, any more than you should sit on your paddle and float. You have to engage. In both instances you have to identify challenges, to avoid them or when that isn't an option you need to go right at them with your own momentum. You need to be going faster than the river, that's how you keep the control that is available.

|2000 year old clay seal discovered in Jerusalem
Ancient seal found in Jerusalem linked to ritual -Matti Friedman
A rare clay seal found under Jerusalem's Old City appears to be linked to religious rituals practiced at the Jewish Temple 2,000 years ago, Israeli archaeologists said Sunday.
The coin-sized seal found near the Jewish holy site at the Western Wall bears two Aramaic words meaning "pure for God."
Archaeologist Ronny Reich of Haifa University said it dates from between the 1st century B.C. to 70 A.D. — the year Roman forces put down a Jewish revolt and destroyed the second of the two biblical temples in Jerusalem.
The find marks the first discovery of a written seal from that period of Jerusalem's history, and appeared to be a unique physical artifact from ritual practice in the Temple, said Reich, co-director of the excavation.
Very few artifacts linked to the Temples have been discovered so far.
Archaeologists say the seal was likely used by Temple officials approving an object for ritual use — oil, perhaps, or an animal intended for sacrifice. Materials used by Temple priests had to meet stringent purity guidelines stipulated in detail in the Jewish legal text known as the Mishna, which also mention the use of seals as tokens by pilgrims.

Construction Starts on New State Route 99 Interchange in Sutter County
SUTTER COUNTY - Caltrans and local officials broke ground today on a much-needed interchange at the junction of State Routes 99 and 113 south of Yuba City, marking another major step to relieve congestion and increase safety along the SR-99 between Yuba City and Sacramento.
"This investment in our transportation infrastructure builds a better, safer future for Sutter County residents and businesses," said Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty.
The new interchange will replace stoplights that were installed as part of the SR-99 Tudor Bypass in 2010.
The bulk of the $19.4 million project's funding -- $17.8 million -- comes from Proposition 1B, the 2006 voter-approved transportation bond. Since its passage, nearly $15 billion in Proposition 1B funds have been put to use statewide.
The new interchange is expected to open by the end of 2014.
During construction, motorists will not be able to enter East Tudor Road from SR-99 for about a year, and Caltrans is advising drivers to use the Garden Highway as an alternate route. A section of SR-99 between Wilson Road and O'Banion Road also will be narrowed from four lanes to two lanes until mid-May.
Caltrans reminds motorists to Slow for the Cone Zone when driving through the construction area.

The Pitt wrestling team currently ranks 17th in the country heading into the home stretch of its season. One of the main reasons for the Panthers' success this season has been the performance of their upper-weight wrestlers including senior Zac Thomusseit. Recently, the seventh-ranked heavyweight and three-time EWL Wrestler of the Week sat down with Pitt Live Wire.
Can you talk about your season so far?
Thomusseit: "It's going well for my first year as a heavyweight. I've had two losses. I didn't really want to lose two during the season but I think that those are going to help me going down the line. I'm still kind of upset about my loss at Oklahoma State. I think that's a guy that I could see at Nationals, maybe in the quarters but the losses have given me more motivation. I've started to watch more film, which I normally don't do and have been starting to crack down on some little things that I learn from the film. Like I said, the losses give me more motivation. I've got two more months of this and then I'm done so I've just got to suck it up and train as hard as I can."
How excited are you for Nationals?
Thomussiet: "I'm excited. I've been thinking about it the whole year. I'm just trying to go out there and compete. I just want to approach the National Tournament with the attitude that I've got to lay it all on the line because I want to leave as an All-American. I can't be hesitant there. I want to be an All-American so I've got to go out attacking and make it my best tournament yet."
Talk about your leadership role on the team.
Thomusseit: "I'm more of a quiet person so coming through the program I learned from the older guys to lead by example and that's what I've wanted to do. I just want to show the younger guys to get it done in Division I you have to lead by example with hard work."
You mentioned some of the older guys who helped you when you were an underclassman. Can you talk about them?
Thomusseit: "Right before I came in, (current assistant coach Matt) Kocher was here and he was an All-American. Keith Gavin was the National Champ. I didn't get to wrestle with them but I came in on my recruiting process and got to see them and the work they put in. Being around those guys and guys like that really helps. Guys like Zach Sheaffer as a heavyweight when I was a freshman and Tyler Nauman last year just sets the bar to strive to be an All-American. I think they have that presence and are able to teach you what they did, some of the little things that they did that helped them get on the podium, and that can really help."

Sequencing DNA is not as overwhelming as it once was.
"The technology is really amazing," said Deb Grove of Penn State's Nucleic Acid Facility. "When I started here a few years ago the 'read length' for a DNA template was 300 to 400 nucleotides long. Today we can obtain read lengths of over 800 nucleotides, and can sequence templates up to 200k."
The first step in sequencing is to cut the DNA into short lengths and clone them using the PCR technique (see "An Amazing Reaction"). Said Nina Fedoroff, director of Penn State's Life Sciences Consortium,"Cloning is the heart of genetic engineering. You can't sequence a single molecule—it's like figuring out how a molecule of sugar tastes. You need to get at least a quarter teaspoonful in your mouth to taste anything, and a quarter teaspoonful has millions and millions of molecules in it. The same problem confronts the scientist trying to find out the sequence of DNA. You have to have enough of it to actually carry out your analytical tools."
Once you have enough copies, you heat them to break the double helix into two strands: If DNA is like a spiral staircase, the nucleotides pair up to make the steps. The four nucleotides, or bases—adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C)—are complementary (C always bonds with G, and A always bonds with T) because C and G need three hydrogen bonds to hold them together, while A and T need two. These hydrogen bonds, Fedoroff said, are "sort of like Scotch tape. They hold things together but it's easy to pull them apart." (By comparison, the backbone of a DNA strand, made up of alternating groups of sugars and phosphates, "hangs together at high temperatures—it's more like crazy glue.")
Next you place the single strands into a solution along with four other ingredients: a primer, DNA polymerase, and two forms of free nucleotides, normal ones and so-called "stop" nucleotides (dideoxynucleotides). Each of the four stop nucleotides is labeled with a different fluorescent color.
The primer 3/4 a strand of DNA about 20 nucleotides long 3/4 gets things started. "DNA polymerase doesn't like to put the first two nucleotides together," Fedoroff explained, "but if you give it a place to hang onto, it'll go right to that place 3/4 which is extremely convenient for the molecular biologist." The primer, synthesized to match the end of the DNA strand you are sequencing, attaches, leaving an open hydroxl group for the next nucleotide to grab onto. Then the polymerase takes over. It reads along the original DNA strand, picking up a free nucleotide from the solution to pair with each one it reads. It continues until it randomly picks up a "stop" nucleotide. These lack the hydroxyl group needed for the next to grab on.
Because choosing a stop nucleotide is random, the process stops at a different location on each copy. You separate the strands again and put the new complementary strands into a sequencing gel. When you run electricity through the gel, the long pieces of DNA, which move slowly, remain near the top, while the short pieces run to the bottom. The difference in the length of each fragment from the bottom of the gel to the top is one nucleotide. Each fragment ends with a stop nucleotide tagged with one of four fluorescent colors; under a laser, the color molecule is excited and emits light. A sequencing machine, which can scan 96 gel lanes 12,000 times in 12 hours, detects the color of the light and translates it into a letter—A,T, G, or C.

Arts Exposure
Clay Times Three
A trio of exhibits at the Silver City Clay Festival
will unearth creativity from around the world.
The 2013 Silver City Clay Festival, August 2-4, will feature three juried exhibitions and is currently accepting artwork submissions for all three exhibitions.
A Tile & A Vessel will focus on a unique pairing: a tile and a vessel. The dynamic between these two clay pieces is intriguing, and pieces featured in this exhibition must relate, play off of each other, and be unified in some element of design. The juror for A Tile & A Vessel is Christy Johnson, director of the American Museum of Ceramic Art (AMOCA), and the exhibition will be curated by Marcela Shepard. The exhibition will open Thursday, August 1, at the Clay Gala. The deadline for entries for this exhibition is April 30.
Public PrōJECT will recognize artists and their large-scale clay/mosaic public installations. Outstanding international clay and mosaic installation projects will be exhibited as digital projections in a festive outdoor venue. Jurors are Claude Smith III, professor emeritus and chair of the Expressive Arts Department at Western New Mexico University, and active ceramist; Kathryn Allen, architectural ceramist with national, public and private installations; and Marcia Smith, mosaic, metal and clay installation artist and mosaic sculptor. The exhibition will be publicly projected in downtown Silver City on the evening of August 3. Deadline for entries for this exhibition is May 15.
Neo-Mimbreño 2013 Vessels will focus on vessels in a neo-Mimbreño context. Artists will depict a vessel inspired by the prehistoric Mimbreño culture of the Southwest. The juror is Stephanie Whittlesey, professional archeologist and artist, and the exhibit will be curated by artists Beth Menczer and Diana Ingalls Leyba. Neo-Mimbreño 2013 Vessels will have the distinction of being one exhibition presented at two museums: It will be featured at both the WNMU Museum and the Silver City Museum, from August 3-30. The deadline for entries for this exhibition is June 3.
For interested artists, the prospectus documents outlining the submission process are available at the Silver City Clay festival website: www.clayfestival.com.
In addition to this trio of exhibitions, the festival will showcase tile, pottery, adobe, and natural building processes. The festival will include three days of workshops, demonstrations, sales and exhibitions of clay art of all kinds; child-friendly activities, lectures, tours and films; receptions, dances and an opening-night gala. This year's festival will feature a week of pre-festival events, July 27 through August 1, which will include an adobe labyrinth build workshop, a Clay Poker Tournament Fundraiser and more. For more details, visit www.clayfestival.com.

(CNN) -- It was billed as a battle between Cristiano Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, two of the top footballers in the world.
Ronaldo was the clear winner as he scored the lone goal for Portugal in a 1-0 victory over Sweden in the first leg of their World Cup playoff -- although some would argue he should have been shown a red card prior to the brave diving header.
Ronaldo met Miguel Veloso's sumptuous cross in the 82nd minute just as it looked like he -- and his teammates -- would have to settle for a draw in Lisbon.
The tie, however, is still in the balance after Ronaldo missed another good chance, striking the crossbar in the 86th minute with a further header.
"It was an important step to reach the World Cup but not yet decisive," Portugal manager Paulo Bento told reporters.
Earlier in the second half, Ronaldo appeared to headbutt Swedish defender Mikael Lustig. Italian referee Nicola Rizzoli opted not to punish the Real Madrid star but later showed him a yellow card for clipping Swedish keeper Andreas Isaksson.
Ibrahimovic was silenced but will be looking forward to the return leg in Sweden on Tuesday.
France faces an uphill climb to reach the 2014 World Cup, meanwhile, after losing 2-0 to Ukraine and Greece is almost in Brazil following a 3-1 win over Romania.
In the lone other European playoff, Iceland -- bidding to become the smallest nation, in population, to reach a World Cup -- hung on for a 0-0 draw against Croatia despite being reduced to 10 men.
In Lisbon, the start was far from cautious.
In the fifth minute, Raul Meireles' through ball picked out Joao Moutinho and he did well to round the keeper. But his shot from a tight angle went wide.
Sweden almost took the lead on its best opportunity of the evening. Lustig's teasing cross found its way into the box and Johan Elmander's diving flick sailed inches wide.
The Swedes built on their early superiority -- Sebastian Larsson's shot stung the palms of Rui Patricio and Kim Kallstrom's fiercely struck free kick from a yard outside the box flashed wide of Patricio's post.
Portugal, though, dominated possession in the second half and the Swedes were left to defend.
In the 50th minute, Pepe and Helder Postiga caused havoc in the Swedish box and 12 minutes later only a great block prevented a certain Portugal goal.
Sweden's resistance was finally broken courtesy of Ronaldo.
"We played a good game defensively," said Swedish boss Erik Hamren. "The goal was unnecessary. We were careless with that cross."
France stutters
France last missed a major tournament in 1994 and must mount a comeback Tuesday at the Stade de France to keep the streak alive.
The visitor rarely threatened and Ukraine took the lead when Roman Zozulia's effort eluded Hugo Lloris -- who returned to action after suffering a head injury while playing for club side Tottenham two weeks ago -- in the 61st minute.
Laurent Koscielny brought down the impressive Zozulia for a penalty that Andriy Yarmolenko converted in the 82nd minute and the Arsenal defender later saw red as he tangled with Oleksandr Kucher. Kucher was also dismissed.
Just last summer, France beat Ukraine on the road at Euro 2012.
"It's obviously a very bad result," France manager Didier Deschamps told French television. "We have to believe (we can advance) but Ukraine are the team in the best position to qualify."
Iceland -- population 320,000 -- has never appeared at a World Cup or European Championship but kept its composure in Reykjavik even with defender Olafur Ingi Skulason's straight red card in the 50th minute and the loss of talisman Kolbeinn Sigthorsson due to injury.
"To defend for almost 45 minutes with one less man on the pitch, I can't describe in words what these players have done," Iceland manager Lars Lagerback told Icelandic television.
Two goals from Kostas Mitroglou in Athens gave Greece a sizable advantage versus Romania, which saw red, too, when substitute Costin Lazar was sent off in stoppage time.
Stalemate in Milan
In the highest-profile friendly Friday, Italy and Germany played to an ill tempered 1-1 tie in Milan.
The Germans -- defeated by Italy in the knockout stages at Euro 2012 -- dominated the opening exchanges and pressed home their advantage through defender Mats Hummels' eighth-minute goal. Ignazio Abate subsequently netted his first goal for the national team midway in the first half.
When Marco Reus and Lars Bender missed for Germany near the end, it extended the team's winless run against Italy. Not since 1995 has Germany downed the Azzurri.
The game finished on a sour note, following a clash between Germany's Toni Kroos and Italian defender Thiago Motta.
England, which benched keeper Joe Hart, fell 2-0 to Chile. Barcelona forward Alexis Sanchez scored both goals for Chile as the South American side cut open the Three Lions' defense at Wembley.
England must regroup Tuesday when it faces Germany.
