Hand Hygiene is a primary patient safety issue. In the spring of 2008, we began routine monthly monitoring of our staff's compliance with hand hygiene. At that time, our baseline compliance was 41%. Since that time, we have seen steady improvement in our hand hygiene rates through the education of our patients, families, and staff.
"Secret shoppers" are actively doing observations on all shifts, including weekends. Our compliance rates are now consistently in the 90's.
Each nursing unit's hand hygiene rates are shared in the monthly Quality Unit Council dashboards. The staff is able to review the data and make improvements to consistently be at or above 90% compliance.

Kasparov on the Russian elections
Despite growing protests in his country, tomorrow Vladimir Putin will most probably be re-elected as President of Russia. Garry Kasparov is still active in the opposition movement and was interviewed for CNBC.
Don't worry, we won't turn this website into a political platform. But we do know that many chess fans out there are still very much interested in what the 13th World Champion, Garry Kasparov, is involved in these days.
Yesterday Kasparov was interviewed for CNBC about the Russian presidential elections. CNBC is a well-known satellite and cable television business news channel in the U.S., owned and operated by NBCUniversal. The network and its international spinoffs cover business headlines and provide live coverage of financial markets. The combined reach of CNBC and its siblings is 390 million viewers around the world.
Kasparov started off by saying
I'll be very cautious of calling this 'election'. It's more like a special operation to bring Putin back to the Kremlin. He's in full control of legislation, of mass media. He controls the money. That cannot be spent on opposition without punishment from the government. We all widely expect now the most problematic election process in the modern Russian history. But for the first time, we'll be able in Moscow, to have a parallel count and reveal the real numbers behind Putin's popularity. It's the first time when we have tens and even hundreds of thousands of people in the streets in Russia, and I would call it some kind of revolution. People are sick and tired of Putin's lies, corruption and lack of future. Putin is not facing some opposition groups. He's not facing liberals or nationalists of the left wing groups. He's facing the middle, and the middle class demands free and fair elections and the opportunity to build their own lives without constant interference by Putin's regime.
Like everyone, Kasparov is sure that Putin will be declared the winner on Sunday night, but
I don't think he has any chance of surviving for six years. I think his days are numbered.
You can see the full interview here.

Putin's dates are numbered? That must be in his little red book!
Yes, tell me. How sad? This is a chess website, if I want to read about the Russian election I'll do so in the appropriate venue. What's next, Magnus Carlsen fashion watch? Levon Aronian on jazz? What Vladimir Kramnik had for breakfast this morning?
We shouldn´t forget that Kasparov has got some award for his activities for the defence of United States and its "values" around the world long time ago and still does, so in other words he supports the interests of the USA, which is without a doubt a direct strategical enemy of the Russian country. Simple conclusion: he is a traitor to the Russian nation and his actions aim at the destabilisation of the Russian country.
Serving foreign countriy`s politics, specially that of direct enemies against your country is called treason.
2 years 1 month ago
Kasparov speaks for himself and his country, not the United States. Calling him a traitor is absurd. Also, because the U.S. and Russian governments don't see eye to eye on how to best govern their people, it doesn't make them 'enemies'.
Of course, but in some Russian circles the definition of traitor is someone who doesn't support Putin :-)
The communist party, which should have won the elections in 2011, which was rigged in Putins party´s favor, is the only opposition force in that country nowadays and they surely don´t support Putin and don´t scream for inner state massacres(revolution), like the foreign country living "opposition" servants.
KingTal is absolutely right. Kasparov's backers are New York bankers. He's doing their bidding in destabilizing Russia. If Soros cs get their chance they'd love to stage one of their color revolutions there and Kasparov will have laid the groundwork.
The word 'enemy' is very equivocal. If Putin thinks he is a traitor then he is a coward for not having him arrested. Therefore I don't think Putin shares your opinion.

If Garry was a traitor to his country, he wouldn't remain a Russian citizen, and try to create change in a legal manner from within. You should keep your mouth shut and stick to observations about things you understand (whatever that might be...).

A country with not enough developed institutions, due to whatever historic reason, is always submitted to the pressure of two antagonist forces: 1) The one coming from some internal elite government, 2) The one coming from external dominant interests. Because of the long term past exception regime, the majority of the population of such Country was not able to develop its democratic self-defensive institutions. So that population will rely on the paternalist care of one or another of the a.m. dominant forces, until it finally can emerge to freedom. It took centuries to my Country to achieve this milestone, now we can kick some 1st. World asses... So who is best now for Russia? Putin's or Kasparov's dominant groups?? You have to choose now.
Indeed, Stalin too 'd be better for the country. Anything but Kasparov.
Thanks S3 for demonstrating your totalitarian mindset. You are an idiot.
You're welcome. But do you really think Kasparov is any better than Putin? He has demonstrated his character time and time again; dishonest, corrupt and selfish. Not someone you want in politics or government.
If you really don't know who Stalin was - go back to school. And please don't troll around on quality websites like chessvibes.

Kasparov does his country a great service by denouncing the systemic corruption, the worst cancer in any society. But I'd think the Russians should really set about developing a political culture and parties, with leaders discussing concrete socio-economical problems and reforms (e.g. tax levels, judicial transparency, political appointments, petiotioning, rather than merely bashing Putin. For the moment it is just too easy for him to point at the opposition's emptiness,

It is very dispointing to say "american values", the values are universal (except if you are talking about cowboy values) ;)
Yes, one of the universal value is to screw others, and to screw as much as possible. Reasoning is very simple here, does West or USA interested in positive improvements for the sake of Russia and its people ? The answer is no, and if anybody thinks otherwise (crazy people), I refer you to the countless examples in history.
Now taking one step further, whom the West and USA support in Russia and whom they oppose ? Math here is actually very simple, as you can be sure those whom the West and USA support are for the interests of the West and USA (West), while those whom they oppose are AT LEAST not for the interests of USA and West. Anyone with at least half a brain will understand that.
Russians must be for Putin because he is the only strong leader in the country, and the very fact of Putin being opposed so enthusiastically by West must give russians the hint that they are indeed doing the right thing by sticking with Putin for now.
The commentary on this site is just getting funnier and funnier

It seems -amazingly- not only Russians are affected by Putins propaganda that paints the US as its enemy. It's the same everywhere, from Syria to Iran to Russia; you have a domestic problem, choose a foreign scapegoat! Even chessplayers, whom you'd think are intelligent people, fall for this century old trick. Of course, Kasparov shouldn't and won't be President of Russia, but surely he's guiding Russians in the right direction.
You are good, if you guys win, you really deserve it, and the losers deserve their fate.
Nice comment, US propaganda. Every country seeks its own interests, and interferes into other countries domestic problems only because of its own interests, quite a simple thing...one must be really mentally challenged to question that.
As every true supporter of Mugabe, Stalin, Kim Jong-un etc would have it, all critical opinions from within or outside the country means treason or being against the country in question, wonderful logic
That's not my logic, actually. I laid out the logic quite simply to grasp for every human being with at least half a brain. My logic is that every country seeks only its own interests, and nothing more, no mother Teresa in politics, everything is based on cold pragmatism.
"Russians must be for Putin" is what you stated. Maybe one should let the Russians decide themselves what they must, some are critical and not because they are mentally challenged, have half a brain or are traitors, Russians or not
"Russians must be for Putin" - so is this all you have read and grasped from my post ? I stated my opinion, and gave arguments of why I think my opinion is right, that is all I did. "let the Russians decide themselves" is not an argument, but a largely meaningless wordplay. All people commenting on the issue were stating their opinions about what they think is the right course for russians, but those opinions without arguments worth nothing.
"some are critical and not because they are mentally challenged, have half a brain or are traitors, Russians or not" - I didn't state those critical of Putin are mentally challenged, have half a brain or are traitors. You seem to really have problems with grasping the meaning.
The cool difference between Chessbase and Chessvibes is that Peter allows comments.
Chessbase will give you all sorts of politically correct brainwashing from Kasparov's political adventures to women's lib, but people can't speak their mind. That's why I don't go there anymore, which is a shame, because sometimes they have nice stuff.
But if kasparov's adventures are posted, for which a case can be made as he is our 13th World Champion and a totally brilliant one at that, then it is good that people can speak their mind, so that we are not relegated to the illusion of hero worship.
Thanks Peter, I don't think you care much for my 'political' comments, but you serve the public by managing the discourse in terms of civil correctness, and not political correctness.

I am also no big fan of Chessbase as can be seen in a recent message on my blog (unfortunately in Dutch), see http://schaken-brabo.blogspot.com/2012/02/desinformatie-van-chessbase.html.
There were huge protests in Moscow denouncing Putin. It is a police state, so speaking out only leads to trouble.
I don't think it is a police state, there are countries like China, which are way closer for term "police state". But that is not even important. What is important is, why foreign western powers all of a sudden are so interested in well being of Russia and russian people ? That is the question to consider.
"why foreign western powers all of a sudden are so interested in well being of Russia and russian people ?"
Putin doesn't get better or worse depending on what people in other countries think of him, you could say the same thing about North Korea and claim that no one in the West cares about the North Koreans so the North Koreans must support the most authoritarian leader (in case they had an alternative). What matters is what there is to like or not to like, just like people all over the world debates Bush and Obama not just with the intention of having America fall apart by supporting the leader that is worst for the Americans.
"Putin doesn't get better or worse depending on what people in other countries think of him, you could say the same thing about..." - what I said was different than that, you are already the second who misses my point and constructs some conclusions I didn't make or imply.

Magnus Carlsen steps out of World Championship cycle
By declining to play in the 2011 Candidates matches, Magnus Carlsen has decided to step out of the current World Championship cycle. In a letter to FIDE Carlsen expresses his dissatisfaction with the current cycle, like "reigning champion privileges, the long (five year) span of the cycle and changes made during the cycle resulting in a new format (Candidates) that no World Champion has had to go through since Kasparov." Poll added.
The following letter, signed by Magnus Carlsen, dated November 4th, was sent to FIDE. We received a copy from Carlsen's manager Espen Agdestein.
To: FIDE President Kirsan Ilyumzhinov & FIDE World Championship Committee. Reference is made to the ongoing World Championship cycle. The purpose of this letter is to inform you of my decision not to take part in the planned Candidate Matches between March and May 2011. After careful consideration I've reached the conclusion that the ongoing 2008 – 2012 cycle does not represent a system, sufficiently modern and fair, to provide the motivation I need to go through a lengthy process of preparations and matches and, to perform at my best. Reigning champion privileges, the long (5 yr) span of the cycle, changes made during the cycle resulting in a new format (Candidates) that no World Champion has had to go through since Kasparov, puzzling ranking criteria as well as the shallow ceaseless match-after-match concept are all less than satisfactory in my opinion. By providing you with 4 months notice before the earliest start of the Candidates as well as in time before you have presented player contracts or detailed regulations, I rest assured that you will be able to find an appropriate replacement. Although the purpose of this letter is not to influence you to make further changes to the ongoing cycle, I would like to take the opportunity to present a few ideas about future cycles in line with our input to FIDE during the December 27th 2008 phone-conference between FIDE leaders and a group of top-level players. In my opinion privileges should in general be abolished and a future World Championship model should be based on a fair fight between the best players in the World, on equal terms. This should apply also to the winner of the previous World Championship, and especially so when there are several players at approximately the same level in the world elite. (Why should one player have one out of two tickets to the final to the detriment of all remaining players in the world? Imagine that the winner of the 2010 Football World Cup would be directly qualified to the 2014 World Cup final while all the rest of the teams would have to fight for the other spot.) One possibility for future cycles would be to stage an 8-10 player World Championship tournament similar to the 2005 and 2007 events. The proposal to abolish the privileges of the World Champion in the future is not in any way meant as criticism of, or an attack on, the reigning World Champion Viswanathan Anand, who is a worthy World Champion, a role model chess colleague and a highly esteemed opponent. Rest assured that I am still motivated to play competitive chess. My current plan is to continue to participate in well-organised top-level tournaments and to try to maintain the no 1 spot on the rating list that I have successfully defended for most of 2010. Best regards, IGM Magnus Carlsen
The next step of the current World Championship cycle is formed by the Candidates matches, which are scheduled in Kazan in the Russian republic of Tatarstan in the spring of 2011. The winner of these matches will meet Viswanathan Anand in a World Championship match, which will probably be held in London in 2012. FIDE has confirmed to have received Carlsen's letter. "Currently we have no comments on this matter. We must treat it in the World Championship committee first," said FIDE Executive Director David Jarrett of FIDE to VG Nett.Now with such breaking news and a discussion that's going at top speed, we added something we wanted to do for a while already: threaded comments. You can now reply directly to certain comments instead of using the '@' symbol. Let's see how this works.
p.s. bewildering logic to say that dropping out of a set of difficult candidate matches is a "bold move".
I think the ones participating not less courageous.
As someone previously stated, a World Championship tournament would be far less interesting than having an actual World Champion... the true World's number 1. It would just be another tournament, and would lose its meaning amongst all the other high level tournaments. One might say that a certain player has won the World Championship tournament, but what makes him any better than a player who won any other top level tournament?

A very bold move by MC, this is going to change the chess world for good or bad. The world champion is the chess computer for every person is referring to these. The scenario of chess has changed from where the world champion was respected for the champion contributed much to chess. Nowadays it is more to take advantage of the slips the players make due to time pressure than anything else. Ofcourse the super GM.s are a class apart
"...I've reached the conclusion that the ongoing 2008 – 2012 cycle does not represent a system, sufficiently modern and fair, to provide the motivation I need to go through a lengthy process of preparations and matches and, to perform at my best."
This reminds me uncomfortably of a situation occasionally seen (for instance) in American baseball when a star player, recently signed to a lucrative contract but one that's less lucrative than a rival player's, goes to the press and says silly things like, "I'm not sure if I can give my game 100%" unless his contract is amended to give him more money.
Hmm, funnily I was thinking exactly the opposite.
After all, MC is the most hype-made/marketed player in the history of chess. For a reason, I'd say.
Surprise, surprise. Actions have consequences, and the FIDE election is no exception. Who believes this would have occurred had Karpov, who Carlsen very publicly supported (uniquely, I think, among the elite players who otherwise seemed to hedging their bets), prevailed? And remember, that a fair robust, match-play system for the championship was a key element of Karpov's platform.
Face facts. For 15 years, Ilyumzhinov has worked steadily to erode the championship. Apparently wanting to be unencumbered by the natural and rightful influence of a clear world champion, he has strived to demean and diminish the game's highest title. FIDE under Ilyumzhinov minted as many world champions in one six-year period as there were in the first 60 years of the title. Many view Ilyumzhinov' behavior in this regard as wildly erratic; viewed properly, it is quite single-minded. In short, rather than the idealic view that many of us unrealistically maintain, Magnus is declining a chance at something of greatly diminished value. Beyond that, of course, close association with FIDE, the institution, now hardly brings luster. A recent headline from the largest circulation daily in the UK is not atypical: "Kirsan Ilyumzhinov has dragged chess into ill repute." (Guardian 9/30/10). There is no need to recite the myriad of reasons that is the case, but events of recent months have only added to that litany of embarrassments. And if everyone acknowledges that FIDE scares off prospects of commercial sponsorship for chess, what do you suppose is the natural solution to the problem?
Kasparov set an example of ultimately being content to be the "People's Champion" rather than the FIDE Champion. While the circumstances are different, Magnus is well within reach of achieving the same status. In his letter, he graciously states that there is rough parity among today's small handful of chess elite. Among those, however, only Magnus shows regular signs of significant additional potential to take chess to an even higher level. "Before he is done," Kasparov says, "Carlsen will have changed our ancient game considerably." If Magnus accomplishes what he has set out to do, and does so with continued integrity and honor, that will be reward enough, although others will come. Does anyone believe that being handed a laurel by Kirsan Ilyumzhinov adds so much more?
It is not Kirsan's laurel to hand over -- it never has been. Anand holds it until he is defeated. The title is not diminished unless you buy into FIDE's circus; otherwise, it's an illustrious list to join, from Anand through Kramnik, Kasparov, and Karpov, back through the history of champions.
Magnus is at least five years now, from achieving the status Kasparov had, not as the "People's Champion" but as the World Champion, plain and simple.
"The title is not diminished unless you buy into FIDE's circus."
The layers of self-contradiction inherent in this statement precisely underscore the dilemma Magnus faced. He has chosen not to buy into the FIDE circus, but one can't have it both ways.

Between 1995 (the last time Kasparov played a legitimate world championship in people's eyes) and 2004 (when he retired), Kasparov won the Chess Oscar 5 times and lost the hastily arranged Braingames match to Kramnik in 2000.
During the same period (1995-2004), Vishy Anand won the Chess Oscar 4 times and also the FIDE world championship knockout in 2000 where every top player in the world played except Kasparov, over-the-hill Karpov and Kramnik who by then had grabbed his opportunity to play Kasparov for the Braingames match.
So from the Chess Oscars perspective, both Anand and Kasparov were People's champions during that period.
As for the world championships during that period, both PCA (rather Failed-PCA cum Braingames) championships and the FIDE championships were contentious - Braingames because it was arbitrary (even dictatorial) and FIDE because Kasparov and Karpov were not playing, albeit for very different reasons (Kasparov because his ego din't allow him and Karpov because he knew he couldn't hold his own any longer against the then Elo 2700 players).
When Kirsan Ilyumzhinov introduced the knockout system as being more modern for the world championships back then in 1998, people criticised him for destroying the sanctity of world championships (I was certainly one of them).
As was to be found out later, no one had a better idea to resolve the aftermath of the personal stand-off between Kasparov and Karpov (the chess world has certainly paid a heavy price for the personal agenda followed these two chess players).
Now comes Magnus, who many millions of us have thought to be the next great world champion of chess, who wants a "fair" system of world championship and compares chess with football.
On top of that, Magnus gets his maths wrong. World championship is a 5 years cycle? Unless of course he is referring to his failed attempts since 2007 and expects to fail in his 2012 attempt.
Magnus Carlsen failed to qualify for the 2007 round-robin world championship where Anand won. Magnus failed to win the World Cup (if he had won he would have played Topalov for the right to contest Anand in the 2010 world championship) because Aronian got the better of him.
Which 5 years is he referring to?
He had already qualified for the 2011 Candidates and had every opportunity to clear the this field and take on Anand in 2012 - why has he chickened out? Unless he fears he won't clear the Candidates field. Kramnik, Aronian perhaps? If he is so fearless, why not play them and beat them.
The chess world may never have a true leader who can make a difference as a world champion (Kasparov calls himself one but he probably has done more damage than any good). But it certainly does not need someone, especially now, who is averse to taking up challenges.
If Carlsen had a problem with FIDE, he could have made those suggestions to FIDE and worked a way out. Now, it seems he has just chickened out.
Everything else is matter of individual opinion. But I do hope, like of millions of chess fans, that good sense prevails and Carlsen participates in the Candidates battle.
What 5 years? - Kamsky is among the competitors because he won the 2007 World Cup. How about the rules for the cycle have changed multiple times since it started? Well, even you wouldn't argue with that. The seedings in the matches are "puzzling?" E.g., Topalov, who lost a title match to Anand earlier this year, is seeded No. 1 and plays Kamsky, the No. 8 seed, while Carlsen, the No. 2 seed, would have had to play Radjabov, the No. 7 seed. The matches will be played one after another, with no breaks? When candidates matches were part of the world championship cycle from the 1950's to the 1990's, there were several months between matches for opponents to prepare for each other.
It's probably only a small matter of getting the maths wrong: Slightly depending on when in 2012 the match will be held, it will have lasted for somewhere between a little less than 4 and a little less than 5 years:
2008 First games played April 21st in Baku
2009 WCC won by Gelfand
2011 Candidates (?)
2012 WC Match when?
Note that the 2007 WCC was one of the qualification events for the FIDE GP - in fact Carlsen qualified for the 2008-2009 GP via the 2007 WCC, as did Karjakin, Kamsky and Shirov, but Shirov refused to participate in the Grand Prix, as did Kramnik, Anand, Topalov and Morozevich.
What was FIDE's reaction when Kramnik and Topalov didn't want to play the Grand Prix? (Note that if Kramnik would've beaten Anand in 2008, we would've been talking about Anand and Topalov instead)
FIDE gave in for the "pressure" implied by the non-participation of Kramnik and Topalov and arranged a way for them to participate anyway - the new "Candidates" event, originally suggested as EITHER a tournament or as a cup.
OK, Mr. Magnus, but, historically, one thing is what strong candidates say BEFORE eventually becoming World Champion.....Another thing is what they say AFTER becoming World Champion....It seems you want to expose the actual 40 yr old champion to extreme fatigue, before you can meet him with more easy...

Plenty of sports have a similar WC system to chess - whereby the champion defends the title against a challenger - mainly in Boxing and Martial Arts. There is nothing wrong with this, and it seems that the majority of ordinary chess players agree. I think the current system for finding a candidate is absurd. Perhaps a return to the 1948-1993 system is required. Zonal (usually National) tournaments providing qualifiers for Interzonal tournaments provide players for either a)a tournament or b) candidates' matches to decide the challenger.
Or even simpler...seeing as any future champion is already in the top 100 why not a one off super tournament for anyone in the top 100 who wants to have a pop at being challenger. The top 8 into Candidates'? I don't know but it doesn't have to be complicated!
@ Nutos...You are right...The only accepted format for the World Champion is a Classical Match between the reigning Champion and the best possible challenger. The only question is: What is the best format in order to establish the best Challenger? I vote for a classical and Democratic cycle based on double round robin tournaments, each one based on rating lists, say 8-10 best players: 1) National Selection 2) Continental Selection (zonal) 3) Super Continental Selection (Inter-zonal) which winner would be the Challenger, or the best 2-4 would decide in classical matches. The problem is that, nowadays, we really need a shorter cycle, say 3 years, not five.

Hopefully one or the other candidate will drop out in the next weeks, too!
I don't mind..Enter Ivanchuk!!!
(or Grischuk, Karjakin, Ponomariov, and so on).
Fide will have to be quick though, 4 months IS a little late.
Carlsen wins tournaments by beating lower rated players and drawing or losing to vishy and kramnik , he wants to become world champion without beating the current champion but by winning a tournament where he has strategy of drawing against vishy , beat others and win tournament. Look at his career record against vishy and kramnik , he has lost more games than he has won.In a tournament one can even become wc by losing to current champion and winning all other games. It would be ridiculous to become wc in a tournament by drawing or losing to current champion , kinda dubious champion.He is comparing football to chess , tommorow he would say I want team of 11 players to play chess against current champion. When vishy played kramnik in wc match , he could have put the same arguement , make kramnik to play tournament to qualify as finalist.
This is just stupid.. The last 2 years(2009, 2010) Carlsen actually has a plus score against Anand.
I'm talking about head to head career record not last 2 months or 2 years.
Vishy was in elite competitive chess at 17 , you are rueing about 19.
Its idiotic to twist facts and quote few years ignoring complete records.
Sure, but counting the head to head record from when Carlsen was 15-16 years old is really not fair. And stating that Carlsen is only beating lower rated players and drawing or losing to Anand is just stupid considering the record for the 2 last years.
Vishy's games when he was 15 or 16 years old are counted while considering records of other players , but giving special privilege to carlsen its idiotic and biased , quoting selected years is equally unfair.
My point is that your statment that only beating lower rated players and drawing or losing to Anand is proven utter lie, regarding the result the last 2 years. And this is not counting blitz or blindfolded. So the one twisting the facts her is not me, mate..
Even if you consider blindfold and blitz , krannik , vishy and aronian has plus overall score against carlsen , he is comparing rating spot to wc ,then there is no need to conduct world championship at all , just give world champion title every month according to rating.
the interesting thing is the players' current strength. You're arguing that Carlsen has worse result against these players NOW.
Anand faced no world elite players at 16. His head-to-head records against others are none the less irrelevant.
If you want to gauge how Carlsen fares against other top players, then you should consider the record from the reached roughly his current level. Carlsen reached top 10 in April 2008, for the first time with a 2750+ rating (which he's had since).
If you want meaningful records, saying something about current strength relationships, I suggest that you consider head-to-head records since 2008 - or preferrably april 2008. Before that you're certainly comparing Anand (or anybody else) to a different player than the current Carlsen.

Thomas: "For some people (at least for Carlsen fans) voluntarily dropping out of the WCh cycle might look better than playing unsuccessfully? Maybe I am a Cro-Magnon"
Throwing insults at Cro-Magnon, are we? Who do you dislike most, Carlsen or Carlsen fans? Yet another stooopid Thomas comment. Don't bother replying.
Childish Rogge. You only want to hear your own opinion (no matter how biased)?

Magnus showed courage and cunning in his decision. He will not suffer monetarily; he is invited to all the best tournaments. He also has sponsors and right now is probably the best known, most followed active chess player.
I doubt that the other players will follow suit. So, Magnus will just be replaced by whomever Kirsan favors at the moment. But he is correct about everything except for the Champion defending his title, and in this case he is right because of the length of time this cycle has taken.
The title could easily be defended every two years with a series such as Mike mentioned and that had been happening like clockwork until Kasparov and Short bolted from FIDE, and Kirsan decided to act as though they never existed. I think all the changes have been to make sure that this never happened to him (Kirsan) again.
Except for the Olympiad, FIDE is not needed at all at this point. Anyone can take over the rating list and after a few years have gone by, we can start again a proper cycle to pick a World Champion of Chess.
If he will not suffer by it, and can do it risque-free, then why is it a courageous move?

"Magnus will just be replaced by whomever Kirsan favors at the moment."
I may be (proven) wrong, but for the time being it looks like Grischuk will get Magnus' spot - before he was mentioned as a replacement for Topalov if the latter refuses to play in Russia. If that's the case, it doesn't make him a Kirsan favorite, he simply is next in line based on finishing third in the FIDE Grand Prix series.
BTW, as you (and some others) say 'Kirsan': Would a FIDE president Karpov have made substantial changes to the _current_ cycle, in line with what Carlsen mentions to justify his decision? We know that Karpov wanted to move the event from Kazan to Kiev, and replace wildcard Mamedyarov by wildcard Ponomariov - the Ukrainian federation supported his candidacy, just saying ... . If he planned bigger changes, why didn't he say so before the elections??
If beating a challenger is not the legitimate way to become world champion according to carlsen , then it questions legitimacy of all world champions.
He want to twist wc cycle to suit his interests.

It does depend on the challenger. You agree?
Check out boxing titles, for reference.

I agree 100%. Carlsen shows no respect for for former world champions! He shows no respect for the tradition of the very game that he plays. How sad!

Preventing damage to data center cabling
Ripping out floors and walls can endanger data center cabling. But with a little network cable management effort, renovations can improve the network.
How dense should a server rack be?
Not every facility requires costly cooling upgrades after a server refresh. Use these tips to keep server rack density in line with cooling options.
Just say no to isolated ground designs
Isolated grounds are a solution lacking a problem. In fact, isolated grounds create problems for data center cabinet power and add expense all around.
Squeaky clean data centers: Keeping the dirt out
Avoid contaminants in your data center facility. Create a data center vacuum and cleaning schedule to control what comes in the door.
More servers, fewer admins: Today's data center staffing model
Better data center and system management tools are radically increasing the number of servers to each data center employee.
Resolving a hanging IPL on an isolated mainframe LPAR
When initial program load stalls out on a mainframe logical partition, the culprit is often consoles. Connectivity is one of many potential causes.
Tips for safely removing old power circuits
Safety comes first when removing power circuits in legacy data centers. Modern data centers have adopted easier-to-use electrical infrastructure.
Data replication software eases burden of redundancy
Creating off-site data redundancy requires additional hardware investments, but data replication software can ease the burden.
How to choose hardware for data center redundancy
Remote data storage hardware is an important consideration when outfitting a redundant data center. Many factors influence storage choices.
The human factor in data redundancy between sites
Data center redundancy plans focus on storage arrays and replication tools, but don't forget business and compliance drivers when data is involved.
Can a cryogenic cooler work with servers?
The high cost and increasing compute densities in server racks make it difficult to implement a cryogenic cooler in the data center.
Server requirements for I/O accelerator installations
A suitable PCIe slot and an OS that supports a storage accelerator is generally all that's needed to boost performance.
Storage accelerator installation gotchas
Proprietary storage accelerators have the advantage of vendor testing and easier installation into server systems, but assurance comes at a premium.
Sidestepping bottlenecks with a storage accelerator
Solid-state storage accelerators provide extreme IOPS for data center servers running the most storage-intensive enterprise applications.
Electronics disposal metric explained
The Green Grid's electronics disposal efficiency metric can help companies better track what happens to technology flushed by a refresh.
Add up your electronics disposal efficiency ratio
What are the variables involved in determining The Green Grid's electronics disposal efficiency metric? We give you the numbers.
OpenFlow requires compliant hardware, software
An OpenFlow deployment requires switches and a controller that conform to the OpenFlow protocol, but interoperability is not guaranteed.
Who controls the OpenFlow specification?
Developed by OpenFlow.org in 2011, the member-supported OpenFlow specification could significantly affect future data center networking procedures.
What does OpenFlow mean for your data center?
The OpenFlow protocol helps push packets more efficiently as an increasing number of workloads try to fit through network pipes.
Energy benefits of Bloom box may not outweigh risks
Though the Bloom Energy Server shows promise as an alternative way to power the data center, reliability issues may hamper widespread adoption.
Memory voltage and server performance: It's complicated
Higher voltage means lower memory performance, right? Not anymore. On today's DIMMs, more is better.
LRDIMMs and RDIMMs and UDIMMs -- Oh my!
Load-reduced DIMM allows for more memory and decreased latency than on-server memory typically has. So how does it compare to other DIMM designs?
Should I choose server memory with advanced error features?
With virtualization expanding throughout the data center, server memory features are integral for efficiency. And it's not just ECC anymore.

Help:Improving your WikiaTalk0
Even if you know your subject inside and out, you may still want to look for your fellow Wikians for advice on how to develop a successful wiki. Below are some useful wiki development tips that will help you...
- Save time (in the short or long term)
- See what should be done next
- Attract helpers
- Build a better wiki
Develop your Main Page
- See Help:Main page
New wikis come with a basic main page which allows you to quickly fill in information. Of course you don't need to use this default - you can also design your own original main page, or copy and customize a design from another Wikia. Be sure to add descriptive text, great images, and links to your most important articles.
Here are some good examples.
Post your mission statement
Consider creating an "About" page for your new wiki, and adding a mission statement.
This is your vision of what the wiki will be, and should explain to people what they can expect to find on the wiki. You should list the aims and goals of the wiki on this page, and explain who your target audience is. Also take a moment to explain to people how they can become part of the wiki.
Create content
You will need to start the content creation on your wiki by "seed posting" -- adding stub pages and starter content to help flesh out the organization of the wiki, which others can add to. Be prepared to devote a lot of time to this in the early days before a community develops on your wiki; you may create a hundred or more articles yourself before you begin to attract other editors.
You may copy or import material from other wikis who share our CC-BY-SA copyright license, such as Wikipedia, Wikiquote, and more. Please be sure to properly credit the source of the material.
Strive to stay on topic to your wiki. Every page should relate to your wiki's focus.
Change the wordmark
You can add a custom "wordmark" logo to your wiki simply by creating an image no larger than 250 x 65 pixels (preferably a PNG) and asking an admin to upload it via the Theme designer tool to File:Wiki-wordmark.png.
To prevent vandalism, logos are automatically protected so that only sysops can upload a new version.
Adjust your theme
- See Help:Theme designer for more details
Admins can use the Theme designer to choose from a variety of preset "themes" which combine background colors and images with complementary link and text colors. It also provides tools for specific theme changes including an overall background color and image, button color changes, link color changes, text color changes, header color changes and page body content color changes. Lastly, it provides a way to make a quick text "wordmark" logo or a way to upload a custom image version.
Consider other interface changes
- Change the favicon
- A favicon or favorites icon, can be uploaded to Wikia to give a personalized icon associated with your Wikia. These will be shown in the browser's address bar, next to the site's name in lists of bookmarks, and, in tabbed browsers, next to the page's title. You can find the favicon upload tool in Theme Designer.
- Change the style sheet
- The overall look of the site can be changed by admins, who can edit the color scheme via the wiki-wide style sheet (MediaWiki:Wikia.css). This allows very specific changes, but requires knowledge of Cascading Style Sheets (aka CSS). Changes can be tested by adding CSS to Special:MyPage/wikia.css, where changes will only be applied for the logged in user.
Promote your wiki
If you want to develop a community, you will need to tell people about your wiki. Explain to people who may be interested in the topic area that the wiki is a common effort. Be welcoming to visitors and encourage them to become part of the wiki.
You may want to advertise for new users on relevant mailing lists, and through your own contacts. However, be careful that your messages do not come across as spam.
For wikis about local areas, you can make a press release, or send a notice about the wiki, to your local newspapers and residents groups.
To promote your wiki within Wikia, propose it for a Spotlight and add it to relevant hubs.
There is more information on this topic at the Help:Attracting contributors page.
Develop your community
One of the first steps in developing your community is to encourage new visitors to the wiki to get involved. The following suggestions may help:
- Create a recent visitors page or guestbook so new people can participate even before they have content to add.
- Encourage new users to add some content to their user page.
- Give a personal greeting to newcomers. (templates are useful, but a written one is better)
- Add to the pages created by newcomers, either with content, links or category tags.
- Create a page which explains how new users can contribute to the wiki.
- Link to unfinished or requested pages from your wiki's home page so people can easily see what needs working on.
- Point people to the IRC channel, mailing list or community page, such as your Project:Community Portal to help build a community. You can link to these in the MediaWiki:Community-corner which appears at the bottom right of the Special:WikiActivity page of every user.
- Organize and participate in events like a logo contest. You can also advertise these outside of the wiki to bring in new users.
See Advice:Building a Community, MeatBall:WikiCommunityBuilding and A Tale of Two Wikis for more ideas.
Set boundaries
At some point, you will need rules for your wiki. Keep these simple at first, and expand as you need them. For example, there is little point trying to create rules against edit wars before anyone gets into an edit war. The rules should grow with the wiki, and be developed by the community over time. Applying too many policies is a common mistake.
Your mission statement should make it clear what the limitations are.
Some boundaries are set by the central Wikia community, but others will be specific to individual wikis See Wikia policies for the global boundaries.
Administer your wiki
Every founder of a Wikia has administrator and bureaucrat rights on the wiki they founded. Other users may also be granted this access, by the founder, or by another bureaucrat. Get to know your Admin Dashboard, and visit Founder & Admin Central for advice and resources on how to be an effective admin.
