LibQUAL+ National Service Quality Survey
Final Results
In an effort to more regularly and rigorously gather user opinions regarding UCLA Library collections and services, in 2005 the UCLA Library participated for the second time in LibQUAL+, an international project to measure library service quality offered by the Association of Research Libraries. This project enables the Library to identify areas in which users feel that services need improvement to better meet their research and instructional objectives.
The survey contained twenty-two questions in three dimensions: Affect of Service, which can be broadly described as customer service; Information Control, which combined the abilities to find and to access information independently and remotely; and Library as Place, which examined the physical facilities and their relationship to study, learning, and research. Respondents were also invited to add comments in a free-text field at the end. Additional sets of questions dealt with general satisfaction, frequency of use of library resources on-site and online and of non-library search engines, and information literacy outcomes.
Overall, the 2005 results showed improvements in users' evaluations over those from 2003, when the Library first participated in LibQUAL+.
The areas in which users felt the Library best met their needs all fall in the Affect of Service dimension. These included employees who have the knowledge to answer user questions, employees who are consistently courteous, and willingness to help users.
Users viewed the areas covered by the Information Control dimension as critical and identified several areas as most in need of improvement. These included print and/or electronic journal collections required for their work, making electronic resources accessible from home or office, and a Web site enabling them to locate information on their own.
Low scores on the Library as Place dimension indicated that this is an area in need of serious attention in order to provide facilities that meet users' needs for study, learning, and research both individually and in groups.
The Library has drafted a number of recommendations that address the areas of concern identified by the results. In addition, managers and staff in all public service departments are reviewing the results and incorporating relevant findings, tasks, and training into individual and departmental workplans for the coming fiscal year. Planning has also begun for the Library's next participation in LibQUAL+, currently scheduled for Spring 2007.
If you have any questions about the report or the Library's participation in LibQUAL+, please send a message to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Detailed National Atlas Data Download Help
Nearly all of the map layers in the National Atlas are also available for download using File Transfer Protocol (ftp). There is no charge for this service. Most of the older map layers were compiled at a scale of 1:2,000,000 or a ground resolution of one kilometer. With the introduction of 1 - the National Atlas digital cartographic frameworks at 1:1,000,000-scale - in July 2012, some map layers are now available at one million-scale. Most map layers cover the full geographic extent of the United States. Generally, vector National Atlas Data files are available in Shapefile format. Some vector map layers are also offered in Arc/Info Export and ArcGIS Geodatabase formats. Please note that we no longer offer map layers in the Topological Vector Profile of the Spatial Data Transfer Standard. Image files are available in the georeferenced tagged image file format (GeoTIFF). Data tables are distributed in the DBF format.
Frequently Answered Questions for National Atlas Data Downloads
There may be other files present. These include spatial bin files, spatial bin index files, and projection files. The file name suffixes for these are ".sbn," ".sbx," and ".prj," respectively.
Data tables may be loaded and analyzed using most database or spreadsheet software. However, if you wish to produce a map using data in a table, then you must use its corresponding map layer and mapping software. For example, you may download the data table on Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Recipients and then analyze them using a database management system or a spreadsheet program. Since the data in this table is arranged by counties, you must download the One Million-Scale County Boundaries map layer in order to produce the latest maps of supplemental nutrition assistance recipients.
DBF tables can also be loaded and analyzed using most database and spreadsheet software.
Some map layers, such as Land Cover Diversity,
are listed as "GeoTIFF" files. What are these?
GeoTIFF is an acronym for georeferenced tagged image file format. The Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) is a commonly used format for storing map images. GeoTIFF refers to TIFF files which have geographic information embedded within the TIFF file. This geographic information can then be used to position the image in its correct location in the world and on the screen of a geographic information display.
TIFF and GeoTIFF are supported by most image processing programs, such as Geomatica and ERDAS.
You may follow this link for technical information about the GeoTIFF file format.
Why aren't these files automatically georeferenced when I bring them into ESRI's ArcGIS?

What really happened? Depending on where you read it, Island Def Jam's senior VP of sales James Roppo was either arrested for sending out Internet messages that Justin Bieber was still signing autographs at Long Island's Roosevelt Field Mall, despite the tween riot that ensued at the shopping center on Friday, or, as Newsday and many other outlets have reported, for not posting a message online urging the crowds to disperse.
Sounds like it's going to be a minute until the smoke clears on this one. Either way, what's striking about this is that the charges filed by Nassau police—endangering the welfare of a child, obstruction of governmental administration, reckless endangerment and criminal nuisance—all revolve around the use (or non-use) of Twitter, and almost certainly couldn't have been filed just a few short, less-tech-savvy years ago.
Here's a statement Scott Leemon, attorney for label exec Roppo, released today, according to HITS Daily Double:
"The charges against James Roppo are completely unfounded and ridiculous. It's clear that the Nassau Police Department are unfairly and unjustly scapegoating Mr. Roppo. The Roosevelt Mall and the Nassau Police were unprepared and had a complete lack of control at yesterday's event and it is incomprehensible that they will not take responsibility. We will vigorously fight against all of these misdirected charges in court."
At any rate, it's business as usual for Justin Bieber. Just a few hours ago he let fans know that he's "about to hit the stage in London at Wembley" in a message posted — guess where?

Howard Gardner
Adult Nonfiction BF432.3 .G365 2006
Summary: We live in a time of relentless change. The only thing that's certain is that new challenges and opportunities will emerge that are virtually unimaginable today. How can we know which skills will be required to succeed?In Five Minds for the Future, bestselling author Howard Gardner shows how we will each need to master "five minds" that the fast-paced future will demand:· The disciplined mind, to learn at least one profession, as well as the major thinking (science, math, history, etc.) behind it· The synthesizing mind, to organize the massive amounts of information and communicate effectively to others· The creating mind, to revel in unasked questions-and uncover new phenomena and insightful apt answers· The respectful mind, to appreciate the differences between human beings - and understand and work with all persons· The ethical mind, to fulfill one's responsibilities as both a worker and a citizenWithout these "minds," we risk being overwhelmed by information, unable to succeed in the workplace, and incapable of the judgment needed to thrive both personally and professionally.Complete with a substantial new introduction, Five Minds for the Future provides valuable tools for those looking ahead to the next generation of leaders - and for all of us striving to excel in a complex world.Howard Gardner-cited by Foreign Policy magazine as one of the one hundred most influential public intellectuals in the world, and a MacArthur Fellowship recipient-is the Hobbs Professor of Cognition and Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education.

DYER | The Town Council will hold a meeting on the possibility of creating a fire territory at 6 p.m. Tuesday in the Main Meeting Room at Town Hall.
Representatives from Schererville, St. John, Munster and the Lake Hills Fire Department in Schererville have been invited to join the discussion.
Fire protection territories are formed according to Indiana code. In order to establish one, public hearings must be held and the communities involved must pass identical ordinances.
The Brownsburg, Ind. Volunteer fire department formed the state's first fire protection territory with the help of Indiana legislators in 1995. The territory provided more coverage for rural residents in neighboring townships, resulting in shorter response times.
For more information on the Tuesday meeting, contact Dyer Town Hall at (219) 865-6108.

Julia Serves Notice In México
Published February 21, 2011 03:40
ACAPULCO, México - Julia Goerges has achieved several career-defining moments since last summer, starting with her first career title at Bad Gastein in July. She rose to her career-high singles ranking - No.34 - and doubles ranking - No.33 - on January 31 of this year. Finally, the German was the top seed at an event for the first time last week in Bogotá.
However, perhaps feeling the pressure, Goerges suffered a disappointing second round loss there to Han Xinyun. She put that upset behind her, though, on Monday, as seeded No.1 again at the Abierto Mexicano TELCEL, she routed wildcard Ximena Hermoso, 61 62. She did not drop serve and only lost one point when getting her first serve in, while also firing seven aces.
The other seed in action, sixth-seeded Arantxa Parra Santonja, was also triumphant, though by much less of a margin. The Spaniard edged Sybille Bammer, 76(3) 76(4), surviving two set points against her at 4-5 in the first set and letting a 5-3 second set lead get away from her before clinching her first win of the year.
Also getting her first victory of 2011 was Pauline Parmentier, and Sorana Cirstea advanced as well. Anna Tatishvili, Lesia Tsurenko, Sílvia Soler Espinosa and Madaline Gojnea won in the final round of qualifying to secure main draw berths.
Tuesday's most intriguing clash is No.2 seed Polona Hercog versus Lourdes Domínguez Lino, who picked up her second career title in Bogotá on Sunday.

Who Wins with Which President
AnnaLisa is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
I promise no political ideologies, just some speculation on what stocks to buy with one month left before the election.
If Romney Wins
A big surprise is that some of the traditional "sin" stocks could fare very well under Romney. The biggest name would be Las Vegas Sands ). It's no secret that CEO Sheldon Adelson has donated $70 million to the Republican campaign with a promise for $30 million more if that's what it takes, he has said.
What does he want in return? One thing is support against the union card-check proposal that helps workers organize as Adelson's is the only casino on the Vegas strip that is not unionized.
Republicans would likely enable favorable tax treatment for that 90% of Las Vegas Sands revenue that comes from Macau and Singapore.
Some pundits have theorized that a Romney win might get Adelson a little slack on that federal investigation against Las Vegas Sands into violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Competitor Wynn is also under the same FCPA microscope. Even with a full Republican House, Senate and presidency, it's not likely to sway a federal investigation already in progress.
Adelson has a personal grudge against Obama for his remarks three weeks into his term when he said bailed out bankers shouldn't take trips to Las Vegas on the taxpayers' dime. The remark caused an almost immediate drop in Vegas bookings, which Adelson still hasn't forgiven.
Capital gains tax rate cuts, cuts on top tax rates, foreign profit tax exemption, and an elimination of the estate tax would personally benefit Adelson (and Las Vegas Sands to some extent) for anywhere from a 1,000-2,000% gain on his donations.
Regardless of who wins, Macau and Singapore have been the hypergrowth drivers for casinos with a presence there. Surprisingly, Vegas itself has seen a pickup recently as well.
Other Romney winners would be oil and gas stocks and financials. But a long-time name associated with Bain, Bain Capital, and Romney himself is Monsanto (NYSE: MON). Fresh out of Harvard, new Bain employee Romney helped steer the company away from its public relations nightmare of a chemicals company and take a giant leap into the unknown by becoming the agriculture biotech giant it is today. When Romney first got involved in the 1970s Monsanto was getting heat for DDT, agent Orange, and PCBs. Monsanto was so grateful it provided "seed money" for the spinoff of Bain Capital from Bain.
Monsanto now operates in two segments: Seeds and Genomics and the Agricultural Productivity division. With a 22.59 P/E and a 1.60% yield it trades at a premium to peers like DuPont but just this week Susquehanna raised its price target for Monsanto to $115.
After five quarters of 20% or more EPS growth Monsanto guided for 15% EPS growth for 2013 at its latest Q3 earnings release in June. Q4 results reported on October 3 showed a miss mainly due to drought stricken farmers buying less seed and herbicide but the company maintained 2013 guidance for EPS growth at that mid- teens number .
Even if Romney wins, risks include increasing pushback against GMOs (genetically modified organisms, which comprise most of Monsanto's seeds) such as California's GMO labeling initiative Proposition 37 on the ballot this November and GMO labeling already in effect in 50 countries are heating things up again for Monsanto. Monsanto and DuPont as well as supermarket chains are spending millions to oppose the initiative in anticipation that its passing would spread like a California wildfire to even more states. Several countries have already banned or are considering banning Monsanto's GMO 810 maize, including Poland, Hungary, France and Peru. There is also controversy over its Roundup herbicide which is believed to engender "superweeds" resistant to glyphosate, an active ingredient in Roundup. Having a friend in The White House may not be enough to deflect a 1970's like groundswell against the company's products.
If Obama Wins
Sectors that expect to benefit from an Obama re-election are housing, alternative energy, health care and technology.
A health care name that should benefit from the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is CVS Caremark ). CVS just hit a 52-week high on Oct. 2 and has been profiting this year from competitor Walgreen's problems with Express Scripts ). At a September 12 Morgan Stanley Global Healthcare Conference CEO Larry Merlo was asked about the retention rate for those former Walgreen's customers and he said that 55% had already enrolled in the CVS auto refill program and 83% had enrolled in the CVS Extra Care loyalty program. He also said by the end of the year there should be more clarity as to exactly how many customers defecting from Walgreen's would stay with CVS as their primary pharmacy now that Walgreen's had resolved their reimbursement dispute with Express Scripts. Its P/E is 17.32 with a 1.30% yield. CVS reports again on November 6. Walgreen's itself may see a boost under an Obama win as the rising tide lifts this boat as it is instituting a loyalty program of its own.
Some alternative energy names will benefit but do I mean First Solar? I most emphatically do not, but biomass, some wind, and nuclear names should prosper. Exelon ), a utility generating electricity from fossil, hydro, natural gas, renewable, and nuclear (20% of nuclear for the US), has a 5.90% yield and a 15.12 P/E. As the risk on trade has lifted the market, defensive utilities have declined. Exelon is down more than 20% from its 52-week high. It operates mainly in central Maryland, Southeast Pennsylvania and northern Illinois. Maybe you don't give credence to the Old Farmer's Almanac but these areas are expected to endure a colder winter and hotter summer in 2013 and raise profits for Exelon.
Scientific research names could suffer under a Romney win with an expected 5% or more decrease to funding for the National Institutes of Health. But under an Obama administration two gene-sequencing companies, Life Technologies (NASDAQ: LIFE) and its competitor, Illumina ), would have an all clear. Illumina is dependent on government support for 70% of its research revenues. Illumina is in the midst of an on-again, off-again takeover bid by Roche Holdings and may even agree to be acquired before the election but they've made it clear that $51 a share won't get it done. Illumina has an 83.22 P/E and this back and forth with Roche has helped double the share price in 52 weeks but this sector of genetic testing is the fastest growing segment of the diagnostics market especially in oncology. Life Technologies is not seeking to be acquired either and both have been making acquisitions of their own. Life Technologies has stated in the past they are seeking more strategic partnerships with Big Pharma like the ones in place with Glaxo Smith Kline and Bristol Myers. Life Technologies' P/E is 20.33. Some investment firms like Orbimed Advisors LLC of New York have been buying both names.
By the end of Wednesday's presidential election debate, there should be even more clarity and these names should start seriously moving. Whoever you root for, you should leave your political preferences aside and buy what will work for your portfolio. Most importantly, go out and vote.

For many companies, successfully capitalizing on a booming Chinese economy is like winning the jackpot. That's literally the case for gaming company Las Vegas Sands, which made a big bet on Macau gaming about a decade ago that's paid off in spades.

Press Release
February 2, 2011
Scott Stephens
Statement by Randi Weingarten,
President, American Federation of Teachers,
On Maintaining Pell Grant Award Level
WASHINGTON—Millions of our neediest students rely on Pell Grants to turn the dream of attending college into a reality. In difficult economic times, these grants are a lifesaver for students who want to go to college but are struggling financially. We're gratified that yesterday the U.S. Department of Education—following Congress' strong leadership to make college more accessible and affordable—maintained the maximum Pell Grant award at $5,550 for the next academic year. Equally important, students will see lower interest rates on need-based student loans. On July 1, 2011, the interest rate for need-based student loans will go down to 3.4 percent. There is no better investment in our future than one that helps produce a highly educated, well-trained workforce.

COVERAGE WORRIES GROW AS OBAMACARE CLIFF NEARS - Millions of Americans who saw their insurance policies cancelled under ObamaCare have three weeks to get signed up for new plans or face coverage lapses. With that very real deadline looming, the Obama administration gave itself high marks on its self-imposed weekend deadline for improving the site on which the entitlement program depends. While the administration was boasting about a Web site that was 90 percent stable, worries were deepening about the real deadline. Insurers claim the system can't reliably deliver customer information. Karen Ignagni, president of America's Health Insurance Plans, tells NYT, "Until the enrollment process is working from end to end, many consumers will not be able to enroll in coverage." While the government site remains under repair and under construction, it is unclear how many Americans who believe they have purchased insurance are actually signed up for policies. The administration extended the signup deadline from Dec. 15 to Dec. 23, to be covered starting Jan. 1 but that may still prove impossible.
[In a USA Today OpEd, Health Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is urging customers to visit the site during "off-peak" hours while promoting the fixes.]
Hand grenades, horseshoes and ObamaCare - Washington Examiner's Philip Klein breaks down the administration spin on the soft re-launch of ObamCare's online home: "On the call, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid spokeswoman Julie Bataille was a bit vague about whether that goal had been met. Five weeks ago, Bataille said, just 30 percent of users could get through the process. 'Today, we're now more in the zone of about 80 percent of users being able to do that same process successfully,' she said. What does 'in the zone of about' mean? Furthermore, she emphasized that not all Americans will feel comfortable signing up by the website, and could seek help by phone or in person. That suggests that the vague 80 percent number includes all forms of signing up for insurance, not just through the website. And once again, comparing it to the private sector, imagine if one out of every five people trying to buy airplane tickets on Orbitz could not do so."

At just 21 years old, Mitchell Young is a convicted killer. He looked at the jurors as they were polled. It was a quick, unanimous verdict, and it came as no surprise to many.
Young was found guilty of first-degree premeditated murder, first-degree felony murder, two counts of assault with intent to murder and armed robbery.
The Cipriano family looked on and listened as the verdict was read. Young's grandmother did the same.
"He took it stoically, I would say, and doubt very seriously you could say that he was pleased, but he stood up straight and he walked out maintaining his dignity," said Michael McCarthy, Young's attorney.
Young and his friend Tucker Cipriano will now spend the rest of their lives behind bars for the murder of Tucker's father, Robert, and the severe beatings of his mother, Rose, and brother, Sal.
It all happened during a robbery attempt. The defendants were allegedly high on K2 and armed with baseball bats.
Tucker entered a plea, and the jury reached its verdict on Young without ever hearing from the victims.
Cipriano family spokesman Ron Cipriano released a statement that said, "We are glad the trial is over and that our family did not have to relive the horrible experience by having to testify in it. Our family has been through a horrible tragedy that we will live with for the rest of our lives. At the end of the day, Bob -- our brother, father, neighbor, colleague, coach and friend -- is still gone from our lives forever. His absence can never be replaced and no trial will ever change that."
But at least there is some justice. Oakland County Prosecutor Jessica Cooper said, "We can all breathe a sigh of relief that these two convicted brutal killer will never be able to prey upon any other members of the public."
Young's attorney said he will appeal.

There is a Nikon D300s DSLR coming up?
Photography Bay points out a screenshot taken from a Nikon USA website, showing an LCD capture with the name Nikon D300S. There's a couple of other observations made on the picture, which has a medium-size picture capture, so it does not reveal the "megapixelation", although some could speculate based on the "M" size.
As you may recall, Nikon has been fairly consistent in its use of postfixes in model names. Names such as "X" (eg D3X (vs D3), D1X (vs D1), D40X (vs D40)), and "H" (eg D2H, D1H), and "S" (eg D70s (vs D70)).
So if the "S" is any indicator, we should expect a D70-to-D70s type of a transition, which could mean, 12-megapixels. But what about DSLR-Video?

Estimates on the number of cars on the road right now that need an alignment range from as low as 25 percent to as high as 75 percent.
Even if you have the best tires and vehicle that money can buy, all it takes is a little pothole or curb to cost you a new set of tires. This can cost you anywhere from $300 to more than $1,000.
If you live in an area with unpaved roads or lots of roads in need of repair and being repaired (like South Florida) you're especially vulnerable to potholes and other road obstacles that can knock your front and rear wheels out of alignment.
One of my "favorite" ways to misalign my wheels is curbs. I can't seem to avoid them when I'm parking, especially backing into a parallel parking place.
Most people know if their car is pulling to the left or right, they need an alignment. Most also know that if they see wear on the edges of their tires, they may have an alignment problem (it could also be under- inflated tires). But what most people don't know is that your wheels can be badly out of alignment with no symptoms whatsoever. It's like high blood pressure and that's why I used the phrase "silent killer" in the title of this article.
Some people can tell their blood pressure is high from headaches or dizziness, but most feel no difference. Most people learn they have hypertension only when their doctor measures their blood pressure. Unfortunately, many never find out until it's too late.
Last year I had to replace a nearly new set of tires, which had only about 5,000 miles on them (it cost me more than $1,000) because all four of my wheels were out of alignment. There were no symptoms whatsoever. My car didn't pull, my steering wheel was perfectly straight and I saw no abnormal tire wear.
I brought my car in for its routine 5,000 mile service and when my technician put it up on the lift to rotate and balance my wheels and tires, he found the inside of all four of my tires was severely worn. When you have offsetting misalignment on opposing wheels, there is no pull and when the wear is only on the inside of the tire, it's invisible until the car is up on a lift. I had my car aligned only a few months ago, but I knocked it out of alignment again without even realizing it.
Aligning the four wheels of your car, like everything else, is a lot more complicated than it used to be. Cars shocks' and suspensions are more complex today. When most cars had rear-wheel drive, aligning was simple. Now we have mostly front-wheel drive and even some all-wheel drive cars on the road. We no longer do just "front-end" alignments where we have to align all four wheels.
In the "old days" service departments routinely checked the alignment for all cars that drove in. There was a simple machine built into the service drive that registered the measurements when you drove over the track. Some service department still use these dinosaurs but they are not accurate on today's cars.
Nowadays, many alignment machines are so complex that it takes almost as long to measure your alignment as to adjust it. For this reason, many service departments will charge you the same to measure your alignment as they do to actually align it even if the measurements find it is perfectly in adjustment. There are newer, very expensive machines that will quickly measure alignments but most service departments don't have these.
There are three basic measurements that must be exactly right for your tires to be in alignment: castor, camber and toe-in. This website links to a video that gives a very clear, easy-to-understand explanation of these measurements, www.TireKiller.com. The video was produced by the manufacturer, Hunter, who is the largest and best manufacturer of alignment machines in the world.
When you buy a new or used car, you should insist the dealer check the alignment. A new car can be knocked out of alignment in many ways. Transporting the car to the dealer from the manufacturer and driving it on or off a ship, truck or train can do it. A technician can do it during a pre-delivery road test or a car salesman or prospective customer might during a test drive.
Remember that a demonstration drive in a new or used car won't necessarily reveal any symptoms such as a pull or abnormal tire wear. Many manufacturers will allow one alignment under warranty for a short time and mileage period (one year or 20,000 miles), but some will only permit the dealer to check your alignment if you complain about a pull or abnormal tire wear.
Manufacturers consider alignment a maintenance item that is your responsibility. This is why it's important to be sure your new car is aligned when your car is still within the alignment warranty time and mileage.
When the service department measures your alignment, be sure they use the latest equipment. A modern alignment machine is computerized, measures all four wheels, requires that your car be elevated on the lift and the technician must be fully trained.
And they are very expensive, about $60,000 for a state-of-the-art machine. Many independent service departments and some dealers can't afford these. You should ask for a copy of the computer printout showing the specific measurements before and after your alignment. You should have your alignment checked every time you bring your car in for service, approximately every six months or 5,000 miles. If you hit a curb, pothole or other obstacle in the road or notice abnormal wear on the edge of your tires, bring it in for an alignment check immediately.

We now know what likely caused a blast on Cooper Avenue in Royal Oak that flattened a home, damaged several others and left a 58-year-old man dead.
"Our testing today showed that a gas service line that ran to the house that actually exploded did have a leak on it and probably was damaged when the new gas line was being installed along the street. So this probably was the cause of the explosion," said Deborah Dodd with Consumers Energy.
"Obviously, we are thinking about that family today, and our hearts and prayers go out to the victims' family. We're in the process of continuing our investigation, and we're also testing other gas services in the vicinity," she added. "We're going to make sure everything is safe before the residents of the homes that are evacuated are allowed back in."
Resident Meghan Pohl spent Wednesday night at a hotel.
"We found our cats, so we were able to get them back with us, but now it's just a waiting game," she said.
Pohl is waiting to get back into her house. She lives across the street from where the blast leveled a house and nearly destroyed dozens of others. 24 hours later, she came to assess the damage, but it's still unclear when it will be safe enough to return to her home.
We have also learning more about the man who died in that explosion. Dan Malczynski was a father, a union man and a good friend.
"Total surprise. Such a freak accident to happen to somebody that you know," said Pat Sweeney, president of UAW Local 5960.
He worked with Malczynski at General Motor's assembly plant in Lake Orion before he retired. Sweeney said they had just made plans to get together.
"Devastating. Hell of a guy. Hell of a union representative. He represented his people very well. He was involved in a lot of the community stuff. He'd build wheelchair ramps with one of our other reps... for disabled veterans," Sweeney said.

The UConn men's basketball team continues to make off-season news.
UConn announced Tuesday that 7-foot-1 center Enosch Wolf's suspension has ended. He is eligible to rejoin the team as a non-scholarship player. Wolf, who headed home to Germany at the end of the school year, is expected to make a decision about his future at UConn in the next few weeks.
Wolf's suspension covered the final eight games and came as a result of his arrest on Feb. 11 when he was involved in an on-campus domestic dispute. He was charged with disorderly conduct, criminal trespass in the first degree and burglary in the third degree. He received counseling and later had his charges dropped.
Before sitting out, he mainly came off the bench, appearing in 22 games and averaging 3.4 points and 3.4 rebounds in 13.7 minutes per game.
UConn also is adding some depth and experience to its roster for next season. According to several reports, 6-foot-6 guard Lasan Kromah plans to transfer from George Washington to UConn.
A fifth-year player, Kromah will be eligible to play this upcoming season. He sat out his sophomore season with a foot injury, giving him another year.
Last season he averaged 10.1 points and 3.7 rebounds in 30 games, starting 11. He spent two seasons playing for Karl Hobbs, who's now an assistant on Kevin Ollie's staff at UConn.

Frequently Asked Questions
These FAQs are meant to help answer general questions pertaining to CDC's role in Meaningful Use. The FAQs describe how CDC will leverage Meaningful Use for the benefit of public health and provide links to additional information and resources.
Additionally, there is a wealth of information on Meaningful Use available from State and Local Health Departments as well as external sources. To access this information click the links on the left navigation panel under the Frequently Asked Questions Link.
Where can I find information on Meaningful Use?
While CMS and ONC are the federal agencies responsible for administering Meaningful Use, several other stakeholder organizations provide information.
The following are links to web pages on Meaningful Use:
- Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC)
- Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)
- Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO)
- National Association of City and County Health Officials (NACCHO)
- Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS)
- International Society for Disease Surveillance (ISDS)
- Indian Health Service (IHS)
What is CDC's role in Meaningful Use?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is engaged in EHR policy decisions to improve care for individuals and provide leadership to leverage Meaningful Use for public health. Currently, we are collaborating with and providing input to ONC and CMS for consideration of public health priorities within Meaningful Use now and in the future. CDC incorporates partner feedback in our input through our engagement with national public health organizations (e.g., ASTHO, NACCHO, APHL, etc.). In an effort to educate stakeholders, CDC is also working to provide consolidated information to its programs and partners as well as through forums to the general public through:
- http://www.cdc.gov/EHRmeaningfuluse/
- Quarterly newsletters
- Partner calls
Discussion forums will be used for future dialogue and engagement with CDC's current and future partners. For further information please contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
How does CDC collaborate with its federal, state, and local partners on Meaningful Use?
The CDC collaborates with its federal partners (CMS and ONC) on HIT policy development and in defining Stages 1-3 criteria for Meaningful Use. Additionally, CDC works with other national partners such as Joint Public Health Informatics Taskforce (JPHIT), Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO), and International Society for Disease Surveillance (ISDS) to develop policies, guidelines, and methods, and to promote a shared vision for how public health interacts with the healthcare community. CDC works with Health Level 7 (HL7), Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) and other standard development organizations on development and implementation of interoperable messaging and vocabulary standards and implementation guides.
For example, CDC advocated for population health at the following forums in 2010:
- HHS HIT Policy Committee Meaningful Use Workgroup Population Health Hearing
- NACCHO PHI Task Force
- JPHIT "Meaningful Use" Readiness Summit
- HHS HIT Standards Committee Clinical Operations Workgroup Vocabulary Task Force Hearing
- JPHIT Summit 2.0
- ONC Plenary Session
How does CDC communicate/collaborate within the agency to advance/implement Meaningful Use?
Within the CDC, an EHR Meaningful Use Advisory Group (MUAG) was formed to provide strategic planning to ensure that the agency launches a comprehensive and coordinated approach to support development of state and local health department capacity to accept electronic information from EHRs, including syndromic surveillance, immunization registries, and electronic laboratory reporting between laboratories and the health departments. The MUAG is co-sponsored by the Office of Surveillance, Epidemiology and Laboratory Services (OSELS) and the Office of State, Tribal, Local and Territorial Support (OSTLTS).
Specifically the objectives of the MUAG include:
- Develop CDC strategies by :
- Addressing CDC Director's priorities (http://www.cdc.gov/about/winnablebattles.htm)
- Supporting the use of health information technology to improve the quality of health care, reducing health disparities, and improving public health
- Increasing coordination with community resources
- Coordinating state and community resources to support national and state bi-directional information exchange
- Serve as the CDC point of contact for Meaningful Use
- Guide communication and coordination across the agency
It seems like the word "certification" is used in multiple ways. One way refers to the EHR software or solution used by the hospital, Another refers to the hospital passing the test of sending data. What does "certification" really mean?
Meaningful Use Certification means having technology certified by an ATCB against NIST procedures:
Once a technology is certified a hospital begins testing with the public health agency. Public health will confirm receipt and begin the content validatation process on messages they receive from hospitals. Hospitals can then attest to successful completion of this reportable laboratory results objective.
If a hospital is using an HIE for routing then do they need to certify the HIE as part of their system?
No, the standards and certification rule is silent on transport methods and routing of messages to public health. The focus of the rule is on the capability of the EHR to produce a structured message that has the capability to contain standardized value sets. Routing and transport are not certified under the rule.
What meaningful use incentives exist for hospitals?
From the CMS Website:
Medicare Eligible Hospitals
Eligible hospitals and critical access hospitals (CAHs) will qualify for incentive payments under the Medicare EHR Incentive Program if they successfully demonstrate meaningful use of certified EHR technology.
Eligible hospitals and CAHs that adopt and successfully demonstrate meaningful use of certified EHR technology can begin receiving incentive payments for any year from federal fiscal year (FY) 2011 to FY 2015.Incentive payments to eligible hospitals and CAHs may begin as early as 2011 and are based on a number of factors, beginning with a $2 million base payment.The law defines a payment year for eligible hospitals and CAHs in terms of federal fiscal year (FY) beginning with FY 2011. However, a hospital does not have to begin receiving incentive payments in FY 2011.Hospitals can begin receiving EHR incentive payments in any year from FY 2011 to FY 2015, but payments will decrease for hospitals that start receiving payments in 2014 and later.Hospitals that do not successfully demonstrate meaningful use of certified EHR technology beginning in FY 2015 will be subject to payment adjustments.
Medicaid Eligible Hospitals
Eligible hospitals will qualify for incentive payments if they adopt, implement, upgrade or demonstrate meaningful use of certified EHR technology during the first participation year or successfully demonstrate meaningful use of certified EHR technology in subsequent participation years.
Medicaid hospitals that qualify for EHR incentive payments may begin receiving incentive payments in any year from FY 2011 to FY 2016.
While the law defines a payment year in terms of a federal fiscal year (FY) beginning with FY 2011, a hospital does not have to begin receiving incentive payments in FY 2011. http://www.cms.gov/EHRIncentivePrograms/95_FAQ.asp#TopOfPage
How can public health influence what is included in Stages 2 & 3 of Public Health and Population Health objectives for meaningful use?
CMS and ONC will begin developing Stage 2 rules on incentive program and standards in Summer 2011 released for public comment by early winter of 2012. This will include standards, objectives and clinical quality measures included in Stage 2.
The result will be an interim final rule based on feedback from the HIT Policy and Standards Committees, comment on proposed meaningful use objectives solicited by the policy committee and input from federal agencies. The interim final rule to be released in 2012 will have a 90 day comment period. State, Local, Tribal and Territorial public health agencies will have the opportunity to comment during that 90 day period. By law, all comments received during this comment period must be considered by the federal agencies developing the final rule. Additionally, there are certain times when HHS Advisory Committees ask for presentations and testimony from public health agencies or public health agency staff are asked to serve on committee workgroups.
What MU incentives exist for small physician's offices and walk-in clinics?
The information on incentives for Eligible professionals who comply with the meaningful use of electronic health records can be from on the CMS website: http://questions.cms.hhs.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/9055/kw/incentive%20payment
How does meaningful use help public health?
Meaningful use impacts public health by: Meaningful Use activities will improve the collaboration between clinical and public health care at local and state levels through:Implementation of electronic reporting to PH (immunization, laboratory and syndromic surveillance)Improvement of a patient-centric preventive care (preventive care-oriented quality care measures) 2. MU rules bring attention to the readiness of State Public Health agencies for a "birectional communication" with clinical care providers 3. MU will bring into play, the development of standardized data elements and messaging implementation guides (data exchange) for MU Public Health measures.
What are the 3 public health objectives in stage 1 of meaningful use?
The stage 1 of meaningful use has three public health objectives, which require capability to submit electronic data to public health agencies for 1)immunization registries, 2) reportable lab results and 3) syndromic surveillance- in accordance with the applicable law and practice.
Language from final rule:
Policy Priority: improve population and public health
- "Capability to submit electronic data to immunization registries or Immunization Information Systems and actual submission in accordance with applicable law and practice.
- "Capability to submit electronic data on reportable (as required by state or local law) lab results to public health agencies and actual submission in accordance with applicable law and practice."
- "Capability to submit electronic syndromic surveillance data to public health agencies and actual submission in accordance with applicable law and practice."
Can ELR messages qualify for meaningful use if they come directly from a large laboratory (e.g., Quest, LabCorp), or do they have to come from a certified EHR?
Not unless the large laboratory has a certified laboratory information management systems (LIMS)/Laboratory Infrastructure and Support (LIS) system that isa certified module of the hospital's EHR.
How does a lab vendor get their LIS or LIMS system certified for MU ELR?
A lab vendor should contact an ONC-Authorized Testing and Certification Body (ATCB). The list ATCB is found at:
Requirements for certifying a module can be found at:
How do I know which LIS or LIMS systems are certified?
The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) lists the vendors and products that have been certified for meaningful use by one of the recognized certifying bodies. For more information on which EHRs have been certified, visit:
Does modular certification of a Laboratory Information System (LIS) qualify a hospital for ELR meaningful use or do the laboratory results have to be sent via their certified EHR?
If the laboratory's LIS or LIMS is part of a certified modular EHR, then results sent from the LIS/LIMS qualify.
What constitutes an "integrated" EHR, or an EHR made up of "integrated components"?
For the purpose of meaningful use, an EHR is made up of all the components that can satisfy the requirements of meaningful use. That is, it can meet all the objectives specified in the standards and certification rule dated July 28, 2010. In the case of ELR, laboratory information system vendors could have their module that reports laboratory results certified by one of the certifying bodies. For more information on how vendors get their EHRs and modules certified, visit ONC's standards and certification rule:
and ONC's frequently asked questions about EHR modules (http://healthit.hhs.gov/portal/server.pt/community/onc_regulations_faqs/3163).
How should EPs select menu objectives for the EHR Incentive Programs?
From the CMS FAQ site:
EPs are required to report on a total of 5 meaningful use objectives from the menu set. When selecting five objectives from the menu set, EPs must choose at least one option from the public health menu set. If an EP is able to meet the measure of one of the public health menu objectives but can be excluded from the other, the EP should select and report on the public health menu objective they are able to meet. If an EP can be excluded from both public health menu objectives, the EP should claim an exclusion from only one public health objective and report on four additional menu objectives from outside the public health menu set. We encourage EPs to select menu objectives that are relevant to their scope of practice, and claim an exclusion for a menu objective only in cases where there are no remaining menu objectives for which they qualify or if there are no remaining menu objectives that are relevant to their scope of practice. For example, we hope that EPs will report on 5 measures, if there are 5 measures that are relevant to their scope of practice and for which they can report data, even if they qualify for exclusions in the other objectives. Please note that EPs must have complete certified EHR technology (or a complete set of certified EHR modules) capable of supporting all of the core and menu set objectives, including any objectives for which the EP can claim an exclusion and menu set objectives the EP does not select. http://questions.cms.hhs.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/10532/kw/public%20health
What tool can I use to test ELR meaningful use messages, and is it a centralized tool or a local tool?
Two public health message validation tools are available from CDC:
A national-level (centrally hosted by CDC) tool: Message Quality Framework (MQF). For detailed listing of message specifications supported by MQF refer to the MQF left navigation panel link Supported Specifications in the MQF website https://phinmqf.cdc.gov
A state-level (locally hosted) tool: Message Subscription Service (MSS). http://www.cdc.gov/phin/library/phin_fact_sheets/111759_NMS_NEDSS.pdf
Automated testing tools ensure messages adhere to standards defined in the messaging guides by: validating the structure of the message, validating that the messages are following the business rules defined for the message, and verifying that the vocabulary defined for the message is utilized.
Other non-CDC public health testing tools are available such as Rhapsody and Message Workbench. MQF provides the capability for implementers, who have interface engines such as Rhapsody, Mirth, Cloverleaf/Quovadx, etc, to download conformance profiles developed based on the message specifications. The formats available for download are XML and Rhapsody S3D. This conformance profile is what the MQF application uses to perform the validation of the messages. Profiles can be downloaded from the following site: https://phinmqf.cdc.gov/DownLoad.aspx
What is the timeline for meaningful use implementation? Will it still be around in a few years?
CMS has posted a timeline for meaningful use implementation. It can be found at the following address: http://www.cms.gov/EHRIncentivePrograms/01_Overview.asp#BOOKMARK3
Where can I go to read more about meaningful use?
Two websites are recommended :
A hospital is ready to send a message for syndromic surveillance, but the jurisdiction is only ready to receive reportable laboratory results messages then does the hospital need to switch to reportable laboratory results?
The provider would need to switch to the reportable laboratory results public health objective. Eligible providers and hospitals (EP/EH) are required to achieve at least one of the public health objectives. EP/EH must choose a public health objective their jurisdictional public health agency is capable of receiving.
Does the reportable lab results objective apply to eligible providers or just eligible hospitals?
It only applies to eligible hospitals in Stage 1. Stage 2 and 3 are currently being defined.
Are outpatient clinics (doctor's offices, free-standing urgent care, college health clinics) considered facilities or are these considered as providers?
There are many variations to whether or not an outpatient clinic would be considered an eligible provider. For answers to these variations, please visit the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Meaningful Use FAQs website athttps://questions.cms.hhs.gov/app/answers/list/p/21,26,1139
To find most of the variations to this question and subsequent answers, enter into the advanced search box.
If there are fields that are marked as required in the HL7 2.5.1 guide that our health agency does not require, is the hospital still required to include them in order to be 2.5.1 certified?
An EHR or a module that supports electronic laboratory reporting must have the capability to construct the HL7 2.5.1 message and is capable of storing, retrieving and sending LOINC codes according to the HL7 2.5.1 messaging guide to become certified for meaningful use by the ATCB. The public health agency would specify which fields are required as it begins the testing and validation process with the public health agency.

Working with Families
Collaboration between parents/care providers and the educational system is pivotal for success. Parents are the lifelong advocates and social partners of their children. With parental involvement, everyone benefits and students can achieve their highest potential. Parents are the expert on their child and are able to provide a wealth of information. It is important to build a trusting relationship with families. A phone call or home visit prior to the start of the school year may assist with forming the relationship. Throughout the year, information about areas of success and areas of need should be provided. Every parent wants to hear about their child succeeding. Be sure to have frequent communication about accomplishments.

Comfy but narrow
By Walker
from Dayton, OH
Best Uses
These slippers are wonderful. The air-cushioned soles provide great support and comfort! But sizing is a problem. The slippers come in only one width (regular/medium), and that width is actually rather narrow, some of the narrowing probably due to the slipper's upper sheepskin lining. I exchanged those I purchased for two full sizes larger since I needed a wide width. Unless you actually have a narrow foot, I'd suggest getting an extra size larger.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

VMware Virtual SAN Explained
Here's what you need to know about VMware's vSAN software-defined storage (SDS) offering.
What is Virtual SAN?
Virtual SAN is used to describe a software-defined storage (SDS) offering from VMware that enables enterprises to pool their storage capabilities and to instantly and automatically provision virtual machine storage via simple policies that are driven by the virtual machine.
VMware Virtual SAN Explained
Currently in beta, VMware's vSAN will soon be generally available. As reported by Datamation.com, VMware Virtual SAN is described as a software-defined storage solution that extends VMware vSphere to pool compute and direct-attached storage. Essentially, what VMware Virtual SAN does is cluster server disks and flash to produce shared storage for virtual machines.
Automated Storage Consumption
VMware's vSAN also features a policy-driven control plane that automates storage consumption and management. Relying on server-side solid state disks (SSDs) and hard disk drives (HDDs), VMware Virtual SAN is expected to deliver lower total cost of ownership (TCO) for Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) and test/development environments. Users can start small and grow as needed.

- sonny888Dined on 9/20/2014We had the sampling menu items with the wine pairing. Simply superb. Our waiter Randy was entertaining and very knowledgeable about the food selections and preparation.Special Features:
- Definitely Michilin quality!EnjoyDn9Dined on 9/20/2014Beautiful view with really delicious scrumptious dishes. Knowledgable staff and excellent service. Only thing that's a little goofy is that we needed "pass/ticket" to access outdoor area by the bar to take photos of the view...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing Ambiance!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/20/2014A group of 6 of us went to Mix for dinner. As soon as the elevator doors open you are transported to a classy, modern, breathtaking restaurant. The staff there was amazing. We didn't have 1 waiter we had about 5 people attending to us every minute of the night. The manager himself made sure our wine glasses were filled the whole night( we had 2 bottles and it didn't kill our budget). The food was fantastic as well, most us us had fish and another had "the best filet minion" he's ever had. The view from the balcony was breathtaking but then again there wasn't a bad seat in the house. Best part! The bill wasn't bad!! Was expecting a higher bill for the experience and food we had!! Overall I would highly recommend The Mix to anyone!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic!lv4everDined on 9/15/2014The food was really good (we had the Alain Ducasse Classic menue and wine pairing), and so was the service! The view is amazing, even though sufferers of virtigo is recommended a table inside :-).Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very nice view and ambianceOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/14/2014It's the restaurant at the very top of the hotel. Has a nice outdoor seating area for a great view of the strip.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great view, Very average food.JagloverDined on 9/14/2014The place has a spectacular view. The restaurant is beautiful. The food was very average. You. Pay a lot for the atmosphere. Probably won't return.Special Features:
- Perfect view!!CarolDined on 9/13/2014A great view and excellent service. Our waiter was fantastic and very kind. He makes the difference and explained all details of menu, wine list, deserts with passion. Marvelous energy!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- wonderful dining experienceFoodobessedDined on 9/11/2014After a small misunderstanding with the server the manager took over and what a wonderful experience we had. Mr Vallet is charming and could not do enough for us- making sure the chef prepared our food how we wanted it. the staff was attentive and the food is tops ! That will be on our permanent Vegas list of favorites.Special Features:
- Satisfied but not overwhelmedShoeHenDined on 9/10/2014This was a post wedding dinner which was noted when making the rese. This didn't seem to make a diff as we were seated in the back behind the bathrooms. IMO we waited way 2 long to get our drinks and watched as the table next to us ate their apps and meal b4 bread/water was served. I did complain and was offered another table which I rejected b/c it was more the pt that they should have been proactive rather than reactive....they did send a glass of champagne to the table which was a nice touch but 2 little 2 late! Once the meal arrived I have to admit the food was delicious. And the decor of the restaurant is lively and fun.. its just 2 bad that our initial reaction was so pour. They say you cant make a second impression...so true!!!Special Features:
- Food, service and views outstandingVermontfamilyDined on 9/9/2014Thoroughly enjoyed a special birthday on the patio. Would recommend highly to all.Special Features:
- Great place to dine...LEELEEVIPDined on 9/9/2014I loved this place !!! Will be back the next time in Las Vegas!!!Special Features:
- AwesomeE12r4bDined on 9/9/2014I have travel all over the world Europe USA etc this is by far one of my favorite dinning experiences! Perfect for romantic evening or girls night out service was a+++ and food was to die for!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wow what a Jewel.ClearlyVIPDined on 9/8/2014Beautiful. Delicious. This restaurant is a real treat. Great views. Creative food. Excellent service. We loved our booth with a view of the mountains. Halibut was great. As was the Crab Salad.Special Features:
- Excellent experienceLeeaDined on 9/7/2014Outstanding service, excellent food and amazing view from the terrace over LV.Special Features:
- good food but TERRIBLE serviceDonkeyXoteVIPDined on 9/6/2014Food was good. Service was TERRIBLE. Example: at the end after dessert we sat with plates and empty glasses for 20 minutes. One server finally came by to take the plates and leave the glasses. The next guy asked if our check was ready for "the cashier" then took it but left the empty glasses on the table, came back 5 minutes later and placed the check and walked away. That was 2h20 into the meal. Recommend you go elsewhere.
- Fine foodYorkshirepudDined on 9/5/2014We arrived early at miX so went in the lounge for cocktails and appetiser which came without cutlery or napkins on mentioning this the missing items appeared promptly and our order became complimentary in the restaurant the staff were courteous and informed we chose the chefs tasting menu with wine which was well worth the $135 price tag as every dish was excellent the view from our booth was of suburbs of Vegas but still looked impressive once the sun had gone down the outside dining area was closed due to high winds but the decision to do this was prior to restaurant opening so no one was inconvenienced and if a view of the night time strip was required the lounges outside area sufficedSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- qwe123Dined on 9/3/2014Went to restaurant for a birthday, was shown to a table outside the views were lovely, the music was too loud with a loud beat which overtook the whole atmosphere! There was no wow factor, the food was good but service and atmosphere let the place down. Suggest just going up to the bar for drinks and nibbles so you can see the view. There are a lot more exciting restaurants on the strip that make you feel welcome.Special Features:
- Great dinner experienceyuehDined on 9/3/2014We've been to Vegas for honeymoon and really enjoyed the dinner in the Mix. The food was great and the service is nice as well. The scenery of the bar is awesome and romantic.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding!OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/2/2014We booked a table on the outside terrace for 7.00pm so we could watch the sunset over the strip, the view was amazing! The service we received from all of the staff was very professional and the food was exceptional! We will definitely be returning to MIX on our next visit to Vegas next June and are considering this as a venue for our wedding party dinner in 2016.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great experienceprime1Dined on 9/1/2014Our time at the Mix was great, the service was excellent, the food was unbelievable, and the view speaks for itself. The wine list was extensive and the sommelier on staff was very helpful. I was not sure about taking our children there but it was not only ok but the staff were excellent and they really enjoyed their food. Keeping in mind that my children (10 & 14 both girls) are pretty willing to try most things and loved the atmosphere of the mix.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not worth the moneyNOLAdinerDined on 8/31/2014The cocktails were good and there is pretty view of the Vegas skyline. Thats about it. Over priced and the food is not all that great. There are so many other new restaurants in Vegas that are fun. Don't waste your time going to this 10yr old restaurant that is past its time. There were only 2 other tables of people in the whole place.Special Features:
- Kitchen was off!ThanksgivingSteakDined on 8/30/2014I have been to Mix 2 times. The first time was perfect. This last time the kitchen was not up to par. At a table of 5, 2 of the boneless rib eyes were over-cooked. One of my party ordered some sautéed onions and was told, after the entree's arrived and the onions were missing, that "the kitchen is not prepared to handle your request this evening". So the kitchen was stressing and missing the mark. There were a couple of other problems that are not worth mentioning. The service was great. Our waiter kept giving us complementary drinks to offset the problems from the kitchen. A very nice response that earned him a full 20% tip in spite of issues. The view was AMAZING - seated on the patio with a wonderful view of the Vegas Strip.Special Features:
- Worth the moneyfoodieDined on 8/30/2014This is a fine dining establishment so it can be in the pricier side, but it is worth it. The view of the strip is amazing and the sunset over the mountains is beautiful. Food was excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MIX - Dinner with a VIEW!IrishNyBoyDined on 8/29/2014I made reservations for two for a 9:30 dinner after seeing a show. I requested seating outdoors. I was thankful that the 107F heat had subsided during the day for a comfortable 90F dinner on the balcony looking over the lights of the Las Vegas Strip. Not only was the view fantastic - but our waiter was wonderful (Wayne) - who made our evening even more special. The food was delightful from beginning to end. I highly recommend this place for a special dinner night out!Special Features:
- Great view. Horrible foodJuliamarieDined on 8/29/2014Amazing view. Worth the bad food. Expected the food to taste better for the price you were payingSpecial Features:
- best dinner we've ever had!StacyArmentroutDined on 8/27/2014We decided on the spur of the moment to go to mix for our birthdays (my husband and I). We like nice places and have to say this was the best meal we have ever had!!! The setting was perfect and the atmosphere was very romantic. Our server Randy was top notch and incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We will now make it a point to go to Mix every time we are in Vegas!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great placeUlisesRHDined on 8/26/2014The place and the food was excelent. You have to try the profiteroles, best ever!!!! The view was nice too worth itSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous vistas that can't be beatOliver001Dined on 8/24/2014I had been staying at the Mandalay Bay for more than five days before somebody mentioned that there was a top-notch rooftop restaurant at the adjoining Delano Hotel. I got a reservation for later that same night at eight for for eight people, and when we arrived, it was a perfect location for us (right next to the window, and yet a quiet corner). The service was superior and all of my guests raved about their food. Afterwards, we had nightcaps at the lounge overlooking the Strip - one of the best, because MB is situated almost at the very end, close to the airport, and therefore the rest of the Strip is laid out in front of you with unobstructed view.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Spectacular!OpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 8/22/2014Outstanding food, service, view. The place to go to if you're looking for the best restaurant in Vegas!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food was great, service mehPahoh1Dined on 8/17/2014I enjoyed the ambiance and the food very much. We sat in a table that was like a pod that was cute and semi-private. I wasn't happy with our server. He didn't listen to any of our requests, for example we said we didn't want dessert and 2 minutes later he brought us the menu. He didn't even check to see if everything was okay with our meals until we were done eating. The gentlemen that served our water and bread was more attentive then our actual server. I really hope he gets part of the tip! To close, when you are dropping over $100 for food and you are staying at the Delano, you expect a little better service. These are just my thoughts.Special Features:
- Great Food/ Wonderful ViewCMACOACHDined on 8/13/2014I highly recommend the Mix, they serve great food and have a spectacular viewSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very special with beautiful views.CocococoDined on 8/12/2014An absolutely perfect evening, we sat on the patio where it was a beautiful still night with wonderful views. The food was delicious and the service was very good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MIX it up at The Hotelpvpuma10Dined on 8/12/2014Mix is the signature restaurant at The Hotel. Whether it survives the change-over to the Delano remains to be seen. I had the out-of-this-world lobster "au curry" for my entree, which comes with an ample amount of lobster meat served over coconut basmati rice and a delicious curry sauce ($49). The profiteroles I had for dessert were outstanding as well. Tip: Arrive just before sunset for the dramatic view of the dining room at dusk and ask for a table with a view of the mountains. After dinner, move over to the lounge for a cocktail and the most dramatic nighttime view of the strip you can get while still on land.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Vegas Baby!SwirvDined on 8/10/2014The Mix is located 64 stories high within the Delano. The ambience radiates with decor that keeps your eyes engaged. The view is breathtaking, sitting roughly 700ft above the vegas strip really sets the mood. The food was nothing short of spectacular. We had 5 courses starting with the Tuna Tartare, Charcuterie Sampler, & Foie Gras. Our entrees: the Filet Mignon and a Lobster Curry dish. The filet was quite possibly the best filet we have ever had. The waiter took really good care of us. The lobster curry was served with coconut basmati rice and the amount of lobster on the dish was plentiful! The restaurant has a very large, 7000 bottle capacity wine cellar. This was the highlight of our trip!! I will come back to vegas just for The Mix!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome!!placetodineDined on 8/7/2014Great food & service.waiter and staff was very friendly and fast.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great date night spot+Amazing foodSunriseVIPDined on 8/5/2014We sat outside with an amazing view of the strip. We thought we would be paying for the view but when the dishes arrives they food was amazing. The lobster curry was particularly special.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beautiful RestaurantWhitewonderDined on 8/4/2014Lovely white restaurant - great views - wonderful food - temperature a bit cold - loved the foie gras - didn't like all the foam but would go againSpecial Features:
- great as alwaysOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/2/2014Its always a great experience at the Mix and the food is fantastic. Had the sample menu with the wine pairing and would definitely suggest that to anyone.. outstanding.Special Features:
- Great food. Slow service!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/1/2014Food was delicious but our waiter was very slow, brought the wrong drink and then we waited over 15 minutes for our check. We finally got up and went out on the balcony thinking that would hurry him up.Special Features:
- Incredible view... That's it.rex140dot6Dined on 7/30/2014Was pretty excited to dine at the Mix with high expectations. Expectations were dismantled from start to end with lack luster service and no attention to details. Out party of 8 voted this experience a sad attempt after dining at Lavo and STK. Food was forgetable.

After meeting for nearly 14 hours on Monday, the SEA and the school board wrapped up negotiations with no deal.
The school board said they are standing by their last best offer and no new talks, at this point, are scheduled.
The Education Association said they are no closer to a deal then they were ten month ago. They also said that 1% of the striking teachers have returned to work.
Strongsville City Council will hold a special council meeting Tuesday, April 9, to consider Resolution 2013-090. This resolution supports the students in the Strongsville School District.
It also urges both the Strongsville Board of Education and Strongsville Education Association to resolve their pending dispute and work stoppage as soon as possible.
Monday marked the beginning of the sixth week of the teachers strike.
The district is asking teachers to pay more of the healthcare costs. The union wants to unfreeze a merit pay system the district had.
