Worst Customer Service (management especially) – I will never bring a guest. The customer service is absolutely terrible (management). I have a complete distaste!!!!! So angry!
Bimini Boatyard – Took our family for my Mom's B'day Brunch. The food and selection was great as was the service!! They've done a beautiful job on the renovation of this establishment. The ambience at our inside table by the window was spectacular and we especially loved the backround sounds of the live steel drum musician only steps away from us. We live in Ft. Laud. yet felt like we were in the Carribean. Only problem, if at all possible you've got to leave room for the dessert offerings because they are to die for.
Probably not worth it – The service was at best indifferent, bordering surly. With so many places to go that offer good food and service why go here?
Not great, but ok – A group of 5 of us went to Bimini Boatyard for lunch on the advice of our hotel concierge. Two people arrived a few minutes before the rest of us. When we told the hostess we were meeting a couple of people who were already there, she said we were welcome to walk around and find them. Since they had arrived just a few minutes before the rest of us, I would have thought she would know where she seated them and would be able to take us to them.
The server wasn't awful, but we did have to ask for refills and other things like ketchup for our fries. I guess I would characterize the service overall as indifferent.
The food was ok. I had the grilled mahi mahi sandwich. It tasted ok. It came with shoestring fries. I'd prefer a thicker french fry, but whatever.
Even though there weren't very many people in the restaurant, it seemed very noisy, and it was hard to hear what people at the other side of our table were saying. Perhaps that was because another large party was right beside us. Since there weren't that many people in the place, i wish the hostess would have had us sit a little bit further from the large party.
Overall, the place wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great. it just...was
Used to be a great place, no more – Used to get great salads and other menu items at a reasonable price. New decor new menu not so exiting, Expensive, Sunday brunch costing over $40.00 per person? what do they think they are? the W hotel? i don't think so.
Pass on this one! – We visited during the Ft Lauderdale Yacht Show. Great location and nicely themed upscale casual atmosphere. We ordered Grilled Mahi Mahi and a Porterhouse steak, The fish was dry and overcooked and the steak was Pork Tenderloin. Waiter claimed he misunderstood order but had asked how to cook the steak. Second round of beers were served warm and rather than replacing them waiter offered to put them on ice for a while. The manager apologized and replaced the Mahi Mahi with Swordfish and reordered the steak.
The steak was extremely tough and lacked any flavor. The Swordfish was very good and cooked just right. The waiter developed an attitude and removed the steak and warm beers from the bill. The restaurant looks great but lacks everywhere else.
Great Seafood with a Caribbean slant – We were told by relatives here in F/L to go see the place. Great location on the river and great food.
We all loved it. The menu was kool. The Seafood all stylized in a Caribbean nature, was some of the best we had the whole week we were here.
The dining room is large. Enough room to fit a small army. The view of the yachts outside made for a great backdrop for dining.
The patio was too hot, so we went inside for dinner. They need canopies outside or something.
Really good overall.
This is the place to go..... – We were on vacation in Fort Lauderdale in March. The concereige at our hotel this is the place to go for a great Caribbean food experience.
He was right. the menu was very innovative and extremely decorative.
We came back for lunch the next day and found the room full. The lunch business was better than the dinner business the night before. The crowd was mostly local business people. You could tell because people were getting up from their tables and visiting others on other tables. Any placer that is this busy for lunch and dinner must be a great restaurant.
We loved both times we were there.
Beautiful space and very good service. – The high beamed ceilings and waterfront location make this a very beautiful space. Avoid the Bimini Bread. It's basically a sticky roll. Not appropriate for an appetizer and you have to get up and wash your hands afterwards. The crab cakes were meaty and very good. The grouper was just so so. The fish was hot but the sides were almost cold.

The new 99 Cents only store saw hundreds of customers lining up outside its doors Thursday to celebrate the store's ribbon cutting and grand opening at 580 E. Prater Way in Sparks. Bargains were aplenty with the first nine customers receiving 22" televisions and the next 99 customers receiving a Razor scooter for $0.99.
"I don't know what possessed me to wait in line for that long," Bailey said laughing. "I really wanted a TV and the 99 Cents store is one of my favorite places to shop."
Bailey, a resident of Stead, said she has shopped at the 99 Cents Only store in Reno several times and likes its proximity to her home. However, she said she plans to shop in Sparks because of the large scale of the new store.
"I will probably go to this one more often because they have more here," she said. "I usually go to the one in Reno, but this one is much bigger. I'm excited to get in here and look around."
Sparks Mayor Geno Martini was on hand to help cut the ribbon on the opening of the store, saying that the community is proud to have the 99 Cents Only store join the city.
Evan Cohen, director of store communications for 99 Cents Only, said the new facility is about 18,000 square feet and contains everything from basic household items to produce and food items. He said the store's arrival has been about a year-long process and will allow shoppers to find anything they need in one stop.
"The goal is that you can pretty much get anything at 99 Cent Only stores, whether it is your cleaning supplies and household items like toothpaste and shampoos, and we have a great selection of groceries and produce so it really is one-stop shopping," he said. "We look for shopping centers where people are going for things like office supplies or shoes and make our stores available for them to do some one-stop shopping that saves time and money."
Cohen said the stock being delivered to the store will be ever-changing allowing for a vast variety of products. He said people will discover a "treasure-hunt mentality" when it comes to shopping at 99 Cents Only.
"That's one of the things people have to learn about 99 Cents Only stores is that they see great items in our store and then, unfortunately, they are not always here," Cohen said. "Some of the great bargains we run out of and if we can't buy it at a good price again we don't buy the item. So our variety is literally changing day by day."
Cohen said 99 Cents Only has stores throughout California and Arizona in addition to its Reno, Sparks and Las Vegas stores. He said the enthusiasm of the Sparks community at the grand opening tells his staff that the new location will be profitable.
"I believe a lot of customers in this area of Sparks may have not been to the 99 Cents Only stores, and some people think we are just another dollar store," he said. "I hope they give us an opportunity and check out the store. We have so many more items than your average dollar store so I think people will be surprised. Just walk in one time and you will be sold."
Cohen said the tough economic times have people across America looking for ways to save money, which is another reason he believes the store will be popular with its new location.
"Sparks is a community that needs a store like ours. People in this economy need a store where they can get all of their household products, food and grocery at the lowest price possible," Cohen said. "Many people are on such a fixed income and here they can get so much for their dollar. We want to offer the community a great shopping experience and great value. We want them to know that we are here and that they can get pretty much everything here."

What advice can be requested?
Scientific Advice is prospective in nature. It allows input on development plans which have the potential to be amended after the advice. NICE will comment on the manufacturer's proposed development plans. Scientific advice can be given on many issues connected with the development of evidence for post-regulatory evaluation bodies.
For example:
- Interpretation of NICE technology appraisal methods guidance and its relevance for the product's evidence development plans.
Research design considerations or preferences to support each proposed indication. For example:
- study population
- duration
- comparator(s)
- endpoint(s)
- type of study.
Economic evaluation design considerations or preferences. For example:
- form of evaluation and approaches to benefit measurement
- modelling versus trials
- relevant trial(s) for economic evaluation
- approaches to the generation of quality-adjusted life years (QALYs).
Methods issues. For example:
- selection of instruments or research to derive QALYs
- extrapolation of long-term outcomes
- planning for indirect comparisons.
Considerations and insights from existing models. For example:
- expected value of perfect information (EVPI)
- calculations to highlight greatest areas of uncertainty and assist with trial design
- Bayesian simulations.
What advice cannot be requested?
Scientific advice focuses on development strategies rather than pre-evaluation of data to support a submission to NICE. The following remain outside of the scope of NICE scientific advice:
- requests directly related to submissions to NICE will not be accepted in the critical period shortly before submission
- advice on pricing for a product
- advice on regulatory requirements
- advice on pre-clinical data

Hi Guys not sure if I'm allowed to link here but I put this thread up in the Blizz Pet Battle forum, hope it helps ... http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/forum/6088588/topic
Interested to see if anyone from a European server has seen any of these as yet ? Went hunting them last night but after many visits did not see even one :-(
Set alarm for 4am Sunday morning for the server reset for this baby, seems servers vary for the CRZ up time, camped a toon on Kilrogg, logged in, two other players waiting but no whelps, tried to speak to one but was ignored :-( Logged into Aszune seconds later, had the area to myself and there were dozens of spawns, got a rare and left the rest, server hopping helps !! Hope this does too.. GL peeps.
Flew to Storm Peaks approximately 21:15 GMT Tuesday on Aszune, didnt realise a snow storm was up until I flew down to K3, then thought Artic Fox !! Started flying low to the ground and found loads of these little darlings, they spawn, and then re-spawn as long as its snowing, didnt feel to guilty due to excellent spawn rate for burning through a few to get a rare, good luck peeps look for the snow !!
Been camping Tanaris for weeks, Logged in last night about 19:00 GMT on Aszune and swept the Gaping Chasm with no joy, came back at 19:45, this time I was lucky enough to find a little lonely Silithid even more lucky when I discovered it was a rare !!!
What I really wanted to say was dont give up, even if you miss the initial spawn when the storm starts it is worth going back and checking for other spawns, Good Luck guys .... and keep trying !! :-)

We're back to the familiar pattern.
Your investments probably drifted lower last week — not based on the underlying economy or business, but rather on second-guessing what the Federal Reserve and central bankers in Europe might have up their sleeves.
The uncertainty probably is one reason why individuals have continued pulling billions out of stock funds despite the market's 10 percent surge since June. The U.S. economy continues to drag along — not horribly, but without vigor. Friday, durable goods orders data for items other than airplanes disappointed economists, falling 3.4 percent for the last month rather than the 1 percent that had been anticipated. In other words, sales of items like machinery have sagged, probably pointing to coming disappointment in the manufacturing sector.
A Philadelphia Fed report said factory orders have been down for four consecutive months. And companies have been taming expectations. For example, Illinois equipment maker John Deere lowered its profit forecast and noted slowing sales in Asia and Latin America.
But new-home sales climbed 3.6 percent in July, and the economic numbers have been just strong enough to spur significant debate about whether the Fed will try to sweeten the markets with more sugar. St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said in a CNBC interview Thursday that he doesn't think there's enough weakness to warrant stimulus. So stocks plunged. Then Chicago Fed President Charles Evans said the economy still needs a lift. And that helped stocks rally Friday, even though investors are increasingly worried that the Fed can't do much more to help.
In fact, it was assurances on that very issue that helped power the Dow Jones industrial average's 100-point climb Friday. A letter from Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke assured the head of a Congressional panel that the Fed still has arrows in its quiver and that Bernanke would use them if needed.
The question, of course, is whether the Fed will shoot some of its arrows in September when it meets. Some investors think the Fed will wait until after the election to avoid looking political while also awaiting more economic signals.
Investors are expecting hints when Bernanke speaks at the Fed's retreat at Jackson Hole, Wyo., on Friday. Statements at the annual event often move the stock market.
If Bernanke cools expectations on stimulus, stocks are likely to fall. But investors also will be listening closely to comments from European Central Bank President Mario Draghi at the retreat. A few weeks ago Draghi got optimism flowing throughout global stock markets when he suggested the European Central Bank would buy bonds and help struggling countries such as Spain escape financial problems.
Still, that's easier said than done, as investors learned once again this week as European leaders finished summer vacations and started to make statements again about their willingness to support bailouts. Gold investors clearly think stimulus is coming. Gold has climbed from $1,552 at the end of June to $1,670 Friday, at least partly on the assumption that the fix is in to print more money.

I have spent a certain amount of time in the company of wine cognoscenti, but I wouldn't claim that I have distinguished myself on those occasions. Many years ago, for instance, a winemaker I know was kind enough to invite me to the "barrel tasting" of California wines which used to be held annually at the Four Seasons restaurant, in New York—an event that was considered a very hot ticket in the wine game. At the table, many glasses of wine were put in front of us. Then someone who had his mouth very close to the microphone talked about each wine in what I believe scholars would call excruciating detail—the type of vines that had been grafted together to produce it, for instance, and how long it had been in stainless-steel vats or oak barrels. Displaying manners that I thought would have made my mother proud, I drank what was placed before me—not noticing, as I glanced around to see whether more food was ever going to appear, that everyone else was just sipping. I have since heard two or three versions of what transpired that evening, but they do not differ in whether or not I fell asleep at the table. Particularly considering my performance at the Four Seasons that evening, it's perfectly possible that some people asked to sum up my knowledge of and attitude toward wine might respond "ignorance, tempered slightly by philistinism."
On the other hand, I have, in a manner of speaking, worked in the wine industry for a number of years. An old friend named Bruce Neyers makes wine in the Napa Valley. I think it would be too much to say that I'm an adviser to Bruce in his business, unless suggesting that he put a mountain on his label counts. Thanks to the miracle of the fax machine, though, I act as a sort of volunteer copy editor of the announcements that he sends out to his regular customers—what people in the trade would call his "offering letters." Bruce, a wry man who grew up in Wilmington, Delaware, and assumed through college that he would spend his life as a research chemist for DuPont, tends to discuss wine in straightforward terms even when he's addressing the sort of wine fiends who do close readings of offering letters. Still, I can't claim that I know precisely what he means when he writes, say, "The malolactic fermentation went to completion." What I bring to my editing task is not expertise in viticulture but a long experience in such matters as comma placement.
If Bruce shows up at my house during a business trip to New York, he is usually carrying some wine, a custom that reflects both his natural generosity and his concern about what he otherwise might be forced to drink. He has never considered my scenery-selection strategy a completely satisfactory way to build a cellar. He has particularly grim memories of a Chardonnay that attracted me with a view of mountains that are apparently near enough the grape-growing region of the Hungarian Danube to be depicted in the middle distance. He doesn't ask in advance if I'd prefer red or white—presumably because he knows that the question would give me the opportunity to say, "But can anybody really tell the difference?"
I suppose I am programmed to expect that sort of result. I was raised by a man who, although he had never tasted coffee in his life, once told me that blindfolded I couldn't tell the difference between coffee with milk and coffee without milk. It has never occurred to me that the software drummers who are in the habit of saying to the bartender "J. & B. on the rocks" or "Ketel One with a twist" might actually be able to recognize their favorite booze in a blind tasting. Many years ago, when a friend in England began raising chickens and boasting of the gloriously distinctive taste of their eggs, I secretly replaced the freshly gathered eggs in his larder with eggs from a London supermarket, and I try to remind him at least semi-annually that he raved about the next omelette to come out of the kitchen. In temperament and genes as well as in geographic origin, I'm from the Show Me state.
For years, I was likely to mention the Davis test whenever the subject of wine connoisseurship came up, even if I happened to be drinking a glass of beer at the time. A couple of years ago, for instance, a pleasant young man who was showing us around a winery owned by an acquaintance of mine in New York State mentioned that, as part of his final year at the Culinary Institute of America, he had gone to Davis for a six-week wine course. Naturally, I asked him how he did on the Test. He changed the subject. But at the end of the tour, after we'd all downed a friendly glass of wine or two and become better acquainted, he suddenly turned to me and said, quietly, "I got three out of seven."
Also, it's not as if wine connoisseurship lacks informed criticism from people who are not beer-swilling ignoramuses. Marc Dornan, of the Beverage Testing Institute, for instance, says to anyone who asks him that rating wines on a hundred-point scale, which is now common practice, is "utterly pseudoscientific." Tim Hanni, a Master of Wine, believes that most commentary about wines fails to take into account the biological individuality of consumers; he claims that he can predict what sort of wine appeals to you according to such factors as how heavily you salt your food and whether your mother suffered a lot from morning sickness while carrying you. Hanni has said for years that the matching of a particular wine with a particular food is a scam, there being "absolutely no premise historically, culturally, or biologically for drinking red wine with meat." As a way of illustrating the role played by anticipation in taste, Frédéric Brochet, who is a researcher with the enology faculty of the University of Bordeaux, recently asked some experts to describe two wines that appeared by their labels to be a distinguished grand-cru classe and a cheap table wine—actually, Brochet had refilled both bottles with a third, mid-level wine—and found his subjects mightily impressed by the supposed grand cru and dismissive of the same wine when it was in the vin ordinaire bottle.
An urge to refute the notion of expertise certainly seemed to be reflected in the headline of an article from the Times of London about the research Brochet has been carrying on—"CHEEKY LITTLE TEST EXPOSES WINE 'EXPERTS' AS WEAK AND FLAT." The headline caught the tone of the article, by Adam Sage, which began, "Drinkers have long suspected it, but now French researchers have finally proved it: wine 'experts' know no more than the rest of us." The test of Brochet's that caught my eye consisted partly of asking wine drinkers to describe what appeared to be a white wine and a red wine. They were in fact two glasses of the same white wine, one of which had been colored red with flavorless and odorless dye. The comments about the "red" wine used what people in the trade call red-wine descriptors. "It is a well known psychological phenomenon—you taste what you're expecting to taste," Brochet said in the Times. "They were expecting to taste a red wine and so they did. . . . About two or three per cent of people detect the white wine flavour, but invariably they have little experience of wine culture. Connoisseurs tend to fail to do so. The more training they have, the more mistakes they make because they are influenced by the color of the wine."
Reading about Brochet's color experiment revived my interest in the Davis test. I was curious, for one thing, about whether there was a way to compare his results with the results the Davis people had collected over the years—although, as I understood it, the Davis testers, working in the straightforward tradition of the American West, told a subject that he was choosing between red and white rather than trying to sneak a bottle of adulterated white past him. I decided it might be time to visit Davis and collect some statistics on what the Test actually showed. I got the Department of Viticulture and Enology on the telephone and explained my interest to a friendly woman there who is employed to field inquiries from people like me. She told me that as far as she knew Davis had never conducted such a test.
If anybody at Davis knew about a red-white test, I'd been told, it would probably be Ann Noble, who, at the time I dropped in to see her, was just winding up a twenty-eight-year teaching career in the Department of Viticulture and Enology. Professor Noble's field is taste and smell, particularly smell. She has noted that as children we are taught to label colors but not smells. In an effort to correct that oversight, she not only conducted in her courses what she calls "a kindergarten of the nose" but also invented the Wine Aroma Wheel, which permits someone to describe the aroma of a wine in specific terms and to identify varietals by their smell. Someone with an aroma wheel knows, for instance, that a Pinot Noir can be distinguished from a Zinfandel because it has the smell of berry, berry jam (strawberry), vanilla, butter, and spiciness rather than the smell of berry, black pepper, raisin, soy, butter, and vanilla.
Professor Noble told me that the test I'd heard about sounded like an urban myth. She regularly tested her students at the end of the semester by asking them to identify wine in black glasses, she said. But what they were trying to name was the varietal, not the color. For a couple of years, she kept track of wrong answers, and she found that perhaps five to ten per cent of them were not simply the wrong varietal but a wrong varietal that was also the wrong color. Conceivably, it occurred to me, that test could have been embellished over the years to become the Davis test I'd heard about, although five or ten per cent amounted to a lot fewer wrong answers than I would have expected. Then Professor Noble told me that in the tests she gave her students they were, of course, reaching their conclusions by smell alone.
"Smell alone?" I said.
"This is only by smell," she said. "The minute you put it in your mouth, it's game over. The difference is night and day."
She could imagine some wines that would be less obvious—Beaujolais, for instance, has less tannin than most red wines—but basically she thought that the astringency of red wine would be a giveaway if you were allowed to taste as well as smell. She offered to demonstrate this on the spot, and after ducking across the hall into her lab she returned with two wines in black glasses for me to taste. I tried both of them, and then I said, "The first one was red and the second one was white."
Professor Noble seemed taken aback. "It was the other way around," she said.
She was kind enough to come up with some mitigating circumstances. "It could have been test anxiety," she said. Then she tasted the wines and added, "I should have gotten a different red wine. This is not as astringent as I thought." Then she said that the red was, in fact, a weird wine, from Georgia. She didn't mean Georgia as in Tbilisi, where wine consumption is among the highest in the world; she meant Georgia as in Waycross. Then she mentioned that I hadn't had a warmup taste.
I tried to help her think of other excuses. I told her the sun was in my eyes. I thought I'd reserve my other standard excuse—the ball hit a pebble—just in case she suggested that we do the Test again.
Rather than repeat the sort of test he'd taken years before, Bruce had avoided wines he considered particularly likely to fool the tasters; he had gathered eight French wines that he thought of as typical products of the grapes they'd been made from. Not wanting to skew the results, I didn't mention what Ann Noble had told me about the way to increase your odds—take about three sips instead of one, building up the astringency of the tannin if it's red wine to produce a drying sensation in your mouth which would be hard to miss. As Bruce stood where he couldn't be observed and poured the wine into black glasses, he said that a couple of visiting wine retailers from Springfield, Missouri, sometimes known as the Gateway to the Ozarks, had dropped in just before we arrived and identified eight out of eight wines. Although he insisted he was telling the truth, I figured he was trying to make Brian and Alex nervous with some sort of Napa Valley version of trash talk, and I tried to keep them calm. "I want you to know that I'm totally evenhanded on this," I said to them. "Either one of you guys can be humiliated. I don't care which one it is."
As it turned out, they both did pretty well. Each person, wearing sunglasses as an added security measure, was asked to go through the wines twice—once trying to identify the color by smell, and then by taste. Alex got seven out of eight both times. Brian got only four by taste, but he got six by smell. By taste, both of them misidentified as white a Sancerre rouge made from Pinot Noir grapes in the Loire Valley. That was also one of two wines misidentified when tasted by another guest, Larry Bain, a San Francisco restaurant proprietor considered by Bruce to be knowledgeable in enological matters—which means that if your brother-in-law is particularly arrogant about the sophistication of his palate you might consider keeping a bottle of Reverdy Sancerre rouge on hand, along with a black glass and a pair of sunglasses.
And what other information did the test at Bruce's provide? Taking an average of the three participants I witnessed—if Bruce's earlier guests really were from Missouri, they will understand that I can't count anything I didn't see with my own eyes—I concluded that experienced wine drinkers can tell red from white by taste about seventy per cent of the time, as long as the test is being administered by someone who isn't interested in trying to fool them. That made me wonder whether there were similar statistics somewhere in a file drawer in Davis. If the Test never existed, after all, what test was that young man who showed us around the New York State winery taking when he got three out of seven? What test did I keep hearing about in California all those years? I sometimes ponder these questions when I listen to wine talk while sipping the amber microbrew the waiter brought when I asked him if he had any fancy beers on tap. At least, I think it's an amber microbrew. ♦

BY MATT HONGOLTZ-HETLING Staff Writer
Staff Writer
Two small hospitals 25 miles from each made a list of the 13 best rural hospitals in the nation and adminstrators said it has a lot to do with workplace culture and computers.
Infections and other preventable errors are becoming less common at Inland Hospital of Waterville and Sebasticook Valley Health of Pittsfield, two of the top 13 rural hospitals in the nation, according to an independent nonprofit group dedicated to improving health care.
The group, Leapfrog, released the list after an analysis of public data on more than 200 hospitals showed that Inland and Sebasticook minimize hospital errors that hurt patients and increased health care costs.
Statistics from the national Centers for Disease Control show that hospitals give infections to 1.7 million patients a year, costing more than $30 billion.
Inland President John Dalton and Sebasticook President Victoria Alexander-Lane said workplace culture and computers are behind their success.
Workplace culture
"The fact that we continue to reduce errors, the fact that we're essentially driving hospital-acquired infections out of this hospital, that's the culture," Dalton said.
Part of that is making peer interviews a big part of the hiring process.
"Our folks know right away, does this person care," Dalton said. "Are they going to be part of our culture? Are they going to buy into this obsessive attention to trying to find out how to do better?"
Rick Barry, Inland's vice president of patient care services, said staff members help screen out inferior candidates.
"If the staff tells the manager this person isn't the right fit, the manager takes that seriously and we don't bring that person in," Barry said.
At Sebasticook, Alexander-Lane said job candidates are held to the hospital's core values, even when it is difficult to fill a position.
"We have found ourselves in a position where we really needed somebody, and we've said 'we haven't found the person who meets the values,' and we have gone without," she said.
The values, including open communication, are applied equally to each employee, from the housekeepers to the board of directors, Alexander-Lane said.
Because of this, the days of close-minded doctors intimidating nurses and ignoring advice are over.
"We have zero tolerance for doctors who feel they don't need to listen," she said. "It's important to have a good relationship between doctors and nurses which will result in nurses feeling empowered to speak up when they see something wrong."
This is helped by a training program in which nurses receive specific instructions on what to say when calling a doctor about, for example, unexpected post-operative pain.
"I've see this happen and it's frustrating," Alexander-Lane said. "The nurse calls with inadequate information, the doctor becomes frustrated and is very busy and says, 'go back and get that information' or makes the decision without all the information. It doesn't lead to a good relationship."
Sebasticook workers also adhere to a set of principles originally developed at Toyota, according to Mike Peterson, chief administrative officer.
"The whole idea is, turning a staff into an army of people looking for problems to solve inevitably leads to solving a lot of problems," he said.
Alexander-Lane said that projects suggested by employees at the hospital have led to reduced costs and higher efficiencies.
Projects have reduced the cost of printing employee paycheck stubs, made it easier for employees to purchase food from the cafeteria, among other cost reductions.
Barry said a demand for accountability at Inland also reduced the number of cases in which labor was induced in women before 39 weeks of pregnancy, one measure used by Leapfrog.

Narrator: This is Science Today. Nitrogen is the most abundant element in our atmosphere and a primary nutrient for all green plants. Usually, organisms get this essential element from other sources and yet, there are some organisms that can convert nitrogen gas from the atmosphere for use in their system. Jonathan Zehr, a professor of ocean sciences at the University of California, Santa Cruz, says this conversion is called nitrogen-fixation.
Zehr: In the oceans we're particularly interested in where organisms get nitrogen and how they get nitrogen because in the larger parts of the ocean, there are vanishingly low concentrations of nitrogen.
Narrator: Zehr discovered that the deep ocean is actually teeming with nitrogen-fixing bacteria, which is an important finding because microscopic plants in the oceans depend on nitrogen and this affects fish yields.
Zehr: But on top of that, the availability of nitrogen controls how fast these little plants grow and how much carbon dioxide they can fix - which has implications for the global greenhouse effect and how much carbon dioxide the oceans may be able to absorb.

CES 2012: top five highlights
CES can be very interesting, or very uninteresting, depending on what sort of tech you're into. Personally, I'm fascinated by most stuff, so it doesn't take much to keep me glued to the screen during CES. Here's my five highlights from this year's show in Vegas (isn't it oddly suitable how new tech is showcased in a city known for gambling?):
The Sony Concept Tablet – Oh my god, this was a nice bit of kit. Separate keyboard (not a fan of keys I can't actually push down into the chassis, but hey), nice looking chassis, and a series of coloured styluses. The highlight, without having seen it in motion, was definitely in the design. Sony make fantastic-looking technology without copying Apple (a first, lately), and although it's likely to be expensive (it's Sony), and this will likely pull in more than a few punters come release.
3D printers – One of them could even manufacture most of the parts required to replicate itself. What is this?! It's certainly a nifty idea – 3D printing, in the home. My guess is that 3D Systems' Cube will probably take home the gold once they've all launched, even at a whopping $1,299 for the printer itself. Still, if you want to make plastic objects, you could do worse!
Chromebooks – Yep, still going – they're pretty divisive, though. A complaint I heard is that it's as heavy and large as a laptop, but only runs the bare minimum of apps and other tools, compared to a laptop with an OS such as OSX or Windows (yes, or Linux, calm down). It does look sweet, though, and as a Chrome fanatic, I can totally see it working – especially with major game releases popping up more and more often for the Chrome platform.
Smart watches – It's a tiny Android tablet, with a strap to anchor it to your wrist like a watch. Good lord, do I want one of these? Yes. The idea of having Spotify, Twitter and SMS as my three apps would mean… well. I can do this on my phone already (an HTC Desire HD), but god damn, do I want to use a watch face instead? Of course! Bring on the future! Flying cars for everyone!
Super smartphone battery life – I like my phone – it's big, it's powerful, and it does what I need it to do. So, the downside to that is battery life. Mine's not too shabby, but iPhone owners must be sick to the back teeth of watching the little green bar vanish all too quickly. iPhone tribute act (zing!) Samsung have stepped in and offered all-day battery life. If they can make good on this promise, they've got a winner. It might even push Apple to finally get its good battery tech (currently sitting in the Macbook and iPad region of its product catalogue) into the iPhone. Then I can switch! Maybe.
Those are my favourites. So it leads me to ask – what are yours?

The Selling of the Scandal
From the Editors: As long as there have been politicians, there have been scandals. And the juiciest political scandals have always revolved around sex. With John Edwards finally admitting that he fathered a child with filmmaker Rielle Hunter, and torrid rumors circulating about an upcoming New York Times profile of New York Governor David Paterson, TNR decided to take a look back at the most famous of all sex scandals: Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky.

CouchDB, one on MongoDB and one on SimpleDB.This week saw the publication of three new introductory tutorials on three different NoSQL databases: one on
If you've been meaning to check out one or more of these databases, these tutorials could form the basis for a good weekend project.
How to Move from MySQL to CouchDB: Part 1
If you're interested in migrating a MySQL database to CouchDB, or just want to learn more about how CouchDB works in comparison to a SQL database, check out this tutorial from the CouchOne blog:
If you have a database built using MySQL, you might be wondering if, and more importantly how, that database (and your application) can be moved to CouchDB. The biggest stumbling block is not the technical aspects of creating the CouchDB or storing your information (although they are important), instead it's about looking at your data in a different way, and then knowing how that changes how your application works.
We're going to start by looking at how you can turn your MySQL database structure into CouchDB, and how querying your database in CouchDB differs from the methods used in MySQL.
MongoDB: Basic Queries
Above is a video tutorial on basic MongoDB queries from ThinkVitamin. There are other videos in this series, but you'll have to sign up for a ThinkVitamin membership.
Introduction to Amazon's SimpleDB
Amazon.com has a somewhat overlooked NoSQL database called SimpleDB. As Tom Borthwick points out in his tutorial, there's more "no" than just NoSQL: "No datatypes (except utf-8 strings), no transactions, no joins, no indexes, no schema, no administration, and no cost for minimal usage."

"Americans know that our economic recovery will take years -- not months…Rarely in history has our country faced economic problems as devastating as this crisis. But the strength of the American people compels us to come together."
- President Barack Obama [1/31/09]
In a new Gallup poll released today, 75 percent of those surveyed support economic recovery legislation. But in the face of this escalating crisis, Americans understand there is no quick fix to our economic troubles. A strong majority - 64 percent - say President Obama's Recovery and Reinvestment Act will make the economy better though major results will take longer than one year.
Last week, the House passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, working from priorities shared with President Obama. This week, the bill moves to the Senate for consideration.
A staggering 2.6 million American jobs were lost in the last year of the Bush Administration -- the culmination of a failed economic approach -- one that also doubled our national debt in eight short years. We need a New Direction.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act will:
- create and save 3 to 4 million jobs, rebuilding America, making us more globally competitive and energy independent, and transforming our economy for long-term growth.
- give 95 percent of Americans an immediate tax cut.
- invest quickly into the economy - 75 percent in the first 18 months.
The Recovery Act has unprecedented accountability measures built in--providing strong oversight, an historic degree of public transparency, and including no earmarks.

The youth ministry department at Multnomah will prepare you to provide strategic leadership within the field of youth ministry. Taking some of the best concepts from education, psychology, communication, and leadership, this program will transform your thinking about youth ministry. In addition to the learning that takes place in the classroom, many of our Youth Ministry majors are able to serve in local contexts during their time of study. These students often find paid internships and volunteer positions of leadership. The Youth Ministry department also offers a yearly mission trip to Europe where the team leads camps and retreats for Jr. High and Sr. High students. Students will also participate in leading "Spring Thaw", a large scale youth retreat at Multnomah that draws 1,000-2,000 students.
Q: Is the Youth Ministry Major a serious major?
A: Currently at Multnomah, the Youth Ministry major has the most enrolled students. Faced with the same rigor as other majors, and other required pre-requisites, the Youth Ministry major is still very challenging.
Q: Is the content learned in classes directly relatable to my ministry?
A: Most students that are enrolled in the Youth Ministry major are already working in a youth group or program and use the material they use on a usual basis. Often times students debrief their weeks in ministry and ask questions that professors are willing to field and advise what next steps should be.
Q: What is the content in classes like? Is it more program based (IE games, snacks, etc.)?
A: Often times people assume that the Youth Ministry majors only talk about games, where they can order pizza or just have fun. However those discussions only generally occur outside of the classroom. The classes we offer at Multnomah cover very important issues like youth psychology, speaking strategies, how to work with different group dynamics and more!
Q: What is the homework load like in the Youth Ministry program?
A: Alongside other homework that students have from other classes, youth ministry assignments generally consist of ministry projects, debriefing current events/ministries, reading assignments, going to conferences, strategizing and implementation of ideas into ministry. These are just a few examples, but this course of study is rigorous and will challenge you to grow not only academically but spiritually also.
Did you know most people who commit their lives to Christ and to the ministry do so before the age of twenty-one?
There is no more strategic time to impact the course of a life than during its youth.
Did you know throughout history most cultural revolutions have been stirred by young people?
There is no better way to change the course of human history than to capture the hearts of youth.
Did you know the church is one generation away from becoming irrelevant?
There is no more virtuous task for the people of God than to teach its youth to worship God in spirit and truth.
The youth ministry department at Multnomah will prepare you to provide strategic leadership within the field of youth ministry. Taking some of the best concepts from education, psychology, and leadership, this program will transform your thinking about youth ministry. Our desire is to send out gifted and skilled graduates into churches, onto campuses, into therapy offices and detention centers, into countries and cultures where youth have yet to be reached.

Tibet Hotels
Tibet Hotel Reviews
Hotel options in Lhasa have improved significantly in recent times. There are a smattering of boutique hotels and a couple of international-brand properties. Many of the more expensive hotels even equip their rooms with oxygen machines to ease the effects of altitude sickness. Tibetan guesthouses are staffed by locals and are more personable, but some of the shared bathing facilities at the lower-end options can be archaic. Outside of Lhasa, standards are much lower, so be prepared to rough it.

Québec (Province)
Scope and content
A landscape / marine scene depicting a view from behind a split-rail fence at an elevated point down towards buildings at Montreal, vegetation and the St. Lawrence River. At the left of the work the land rises to a point higher than the view point. In the distance at the centre is Notre-Dame Basilica with its completed twin towers. Two church spires are visible. One may be part of Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-Bonsecours. The other spire may belong to Notre-Dame-de-la-Pitié. Across the River the artist has suggested Île des Soeurs and beyond the Island, the land of the opposing shore. The flat construction of the vessel in the River suggests a steamship.

Debian packaging utilities for Truecrypt source helps to get Truecrypt running with a minimum of effort under Debian-based Linux systems (Debian and Ubuntu are officially supported). Truecrypt is an open source disk encryption software which uses a concept of containers to store encrypted data. The containers (or volumes) can be read transparently under Linux and Windows. The utilities create installable *.deb packages from the sources and those debs can be used in turn to install the encryption software.
SDLbits is a very lightweight SDL wrapper for Java. This library was designed to be very small and simple. It does not use Swig, but goes directly from "native" Java definitions to the sdlbits C wrapper library to SDL or OpenGL (in C). All symbols are exposed as they would be in C, except the "SDL_" prefix has been removed, since all names are inside the SDL class. The SDL structures from C are translated to very simple Java classes, such as SDL.VideoInfo. Most fields are exposed as read-only "get" methods, but "set" methods for writable members are supported as well. These classes simply interface to the actual C data with a ByteBuffer "pointer".
x9wm is a clone or fork of the 9wm and w9wm X window managers. It is a light alternative for the Mac OS X desktop. All of its source code is contained in a single file. It supports an alterate red colored cursor. It is very light on resources, quite fast, very simple, and easy for long programming, editing, or Web work sessions. You can blend it with Nitrogen and Wbar to create a simple but elegant interface without iconic or stylistic clutter. It does not decorate windows with borders, and it is modal, controlled with the mouse.
StaticPython is a statically linked version of the Python 2.x (currently 2.7.1) and Stackless Python 2.x interpreters and their standard modules for 32-bit (i686, i386, x86) Linux, Mac OS X, and FreeBSD systems. It is distributed as single, statically linked 32-bit executable binaries, which contain the Python scripting engine, the interactive interpreter with command editing (readline), the Python debugger (pdb), most standard Python modules (including pure Python modules and C extensions), coroutine support using greenlet, and multithreading support. The binary contains both the pure Python modules and the C extensions, so no additional .py or .so files are needed to run it. It also works in a chroot environment. The binary uses uClibc, so it supports username lookups and DNS lookups as well (without NSS).
uevalrun is a self-contained computation sandbox for Linux, using User-mode Linux for both compilation and execution of the program to be sandboxed. The program can be written in C, C++, Python, Ruby, Perl, or PHP. uevanrun enforces memory limits, timeouts, and output size limits in the sandbox. The primary use case for uevalrun is evaluation of solution programs submitted by contestants of programming contests: uevalrun compiles the solution, runs it with the test input, compares its output against the expected output, and writes a status report.
The GNU Modula-2 compiler is one of a number of front end languages to GCC (the GNU Compiler Collection). As such, it has been designed to coexist with other GCC languages. For example, it can be used in mixed language projects and it can catch C++ exceptions and throw exceptions which can be caught by C++. Users can also exploit conditional compilation and full gcc backend optimization and architecture coverage. GNU Modula-2 can produce position independent code and can easily produce shared libraries from modules. The compiler provides a swig interface file generator option, which allows scripting languages such as Python to import modules written in Modula-2 and also catch exceptions thrown by Modula-2. The compiler translates PIM2, PIM3, PIM4, and ISO dialects of Modula-2.

UW School of Drama to Present David Edgar's PENTECOST, 2/20-3/3
UW School of Drama presents David Edgar's Pentecost, directed by MFA in Directing candidate Andrew McGinn, in his thesis production at the Jones Playhouse. Previews begin Wednesday, February 20, 2013. The production runs through Sunday, March 3, and features performers from the School of Drama's graduate and undergraduate programs.
In a Balkan country on The Edge of Europe, a mysterious church fresco has been discovered which may rewrite the history of art across the East-West divide. Gabriella Pecs, curator of the national museum, enlists Oliver Davenport, an English art historian, to help prove the fresco's authenticity. Catholic, Orthodox and nationalist interests compete to possess it. In the midst of controversy, a desperate multi-national group of refugees bursts into the church demanding
asylum at gunpoint. One last hostage, the fresco, stands alone.
David Edgar's Pentecost uses the fresco and its questionable origin to look at competing ethnic, national and religious interest-groups in post-Communist Eastern Europe and at conflicting attitudes towards art. Director Andrew McGinn says "Art and theater remind us that we actually do have compassion for each other on the most fundamental level, otherwise art and theater just wouldn't work. Our national politics really should reflect that, but, they don't. This play finds the celebration of our natural instinct for compassion and vitality in the middle of a real war-torn mess in a way that's totally un-naive. I think the play is thrilling."
David Edgar, playwright, is a prolific British writer whose works include The National Interest (1971), Excuses, Excuses (1972), Dick Deterred (1974), Saigon Rose (1976), Wreckers (1977), written for 7:84 Theatre Company, Mary Barnes (1978) and Entertaining Strangers (1986), commissioned by Ann Jellicoe and the Colway Theatre Trust. His plays written for the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) include Destiny (1976), winner of the John Whiting Award, The Jail Diary of Albie Sachs (1978), The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby (1980), winner of the Society of West End Theatres Best Play award and a Tony Award (USA), Maydays (1983), winner of the Plays and Players Award for Best Play, The Shape of the Table (1990), written for the Royal National Theatre in London, and Pentecost (1994), winner of the Evening Standard Award for Best Play of the Year. More recent plays include Albert Speer (2000), based on Gitta Sereny's biography of Hitler's architect, first staged at the Royal National Theatre, The Prisoner's Dilemma (2001), an exploration of the nature of modern conflict, for the Royal Shakespeare Company, Playing With Fire (2005) and Testing The Echo (2008). In 2007, he wrote the romantic comedy, A Time To Keep, with his wife, the dramatist Stephanie Dale. David Edgar is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. He lives in Birmingham.
Andrew McGinn, director, has been a producer/director for The Infinite Theatre in NYC where he presented A Doll's House, Seascape with Sharks and Dancer, and The Hotel Plays at the Provincetown Tennessee Williams Theatre Festival, where he also served as supervising director. As an actor, he has performed in two Broadway premieres (Coast of Utopia and Invention of Love by Tom Stoppard) produced by Lincoln Center, in five productions at The Public Theater/New York Shakespeare Festival, in Blue Man Group, and at various notable companies in New York and across the country. At UW, he has directed Spring Dance, Till The Day I Die, Picasso at the Lapin Agile, Woyczek, Antony and Cleopatra, The Motherfucker with the Hat, and The Illusion. He holds a degree in acting from The Juilliard School and is an MFA candidate in Directing at the University of Washington School of Drama.

Here's my scoop.
* 3Gs 3.2.1
* Blackra1n may or may not have been run on it.
* There are no non-iTunes apps on the phone.
* Would like to upgrade via normal iTunes method to latest 4.x IOS.
* Have no need for a jailbroken phone.
* Have no idea about baseband version or any other technical stuff.
If I do this and the phone has NOT been jailbroken, no problem. It obviously updates normally.
If I do this and the phone HAS been previously jailbroken - what will happen?
All I want is a 'normal' functioning phone *with all my current data on it.
I've looked for an answer to this far and wide to no avail. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Type 2 Diabetes Often Asymptomatic in ChildrenPosted: Wednesday, April 25, 2007
The overall prevalence of type 2 diabetes has increased 5-fold in the United States since the 1960s, and children and adolescents are among those affected. However, children often exhibit no symptoms.
Although many children are at risk for type 2 diabetes, currently "we have rather poor information on its prevalence in the United States," said Peter H. Bennett, MB, from the Phoenix, Arizona, research branch of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) of the National Institutes of Health. Scientists first identified type 2 (formerly "adult onset") diabetes among the Pima Indians in the mid-1960s. In a recent survey, approximately 20% of the diabetes diagnosed by physicians in Pima Indians younger than 20 years was type 2. "We'll have more definitive information fairly shortly" about national prevalence, Dr. Bennett told the audience.
"One of the difficulties — still — is in making the clinical decision of whether a child has type 1 or type 2 diabetes," Dr. Bennett explained. There are several characteristics that differentiate the two. Dr. Bennett reported that among the Pima, 92% of children with type 2 diabetes also had a family history of type 2 disease, most often in the mother. Other features include obesity (body mass index of 30 kg/m2 or greater), (68%), being asymptomatic (78%), and ketoacidosis (about 10%). These children and adolescents are not insulin-dependent and may stay that way for years, he said. They are also glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) antibody– and islet cell antibody (ICA)–negative.
Acanthosis nigricans has received attention as a type 2 diabetes sign, but Dr. Bennett noted that this dermatologic condition may simply indicate increased insulin resistance. He emphasized that children with type 1 diabetes do have symptoms, while those with type 2 usually do not. Hispanic children, African-American children, and those of Polynesian heritage also seem more vulnerable to developing type 2 diabetes than white children, although obesity and being female clearly increase the risk in all ethnic groups, he said.
Surprisingly, "breast-feeding is protective" against type 2 diabetes, Dr. Bennett said. Pima Indian children who are breast-fed for at least 2 months are 40% less likely to develop the disease, and this protective effect has been confirmed by studies among Aboriginal Canadians. There also appears to be a dose-response relationship, with more protection conferred to children who were breast-fed longer.

However, she could be looking for feedback in general...hard to tell as it's not a blatant ad. Will be watching to see if she posts again about the same topic.

More Immigrants are being "Removed" from the United States than Ever Before
Despite some highly public claims to the contrary, there has been no waning of immigration enforcement in the United States. In fact, the U.S. deportation machine has grown larger in recent years, indiscriminately consuming criminals and non-criminals alike, be they unauthorized immigrants or long-time legal permanent residents (LPRs). Deportations under the Obama administration alone are now approaching the two-million mark. But the deportation frenzy began long before this milestone. The federal government has, for nearly two decades, been pursuing an enforcement-first approach to immigration control that favors mandatory detention and deportation over the traditional discretion of a judge to consider the unique circumstances of every case. The end result has been a relentless campaign of imprisonment and expulsion aimed at noncitizens—a campaign authorized by Congress and implemented by the executive branch. While this campaign precedes the Obama administration by many years, it has grown immensely during his tenure in the White House. In part, this is the result of laws which have put the expansion of deportations on automatic. But the continued growth of deportations also reflects the policy choices of the Obama administration. Rather than putting the brakes on this non-stop drive to deport more and more people, the administration chose to add fuel to the fire.

Ottawa Fashion Week F/W 2012 Unicef Celebrity Charity show
When I was approached by Ottawa Fashion week organizers to help put together the Celebrity charity show, which was so close to their fashion weekend I had my doubts. Being from Ottawa I knew their reputation about them being unorganized and not having the greatest reputation in the Canadian fashion industry from the past. I decided to do it anyway because it was for a great cause. After I began I realized that my concerns were correct because of all the problems I had with their team; then the show ended up being amazing and they raised money for UNICEF so I was content!
I enjoyed bringing all my friends and it was great that some amazing designers and jewelry designers agreed to help me at the last minute, It was a relief that I had so much help.
I really want to thank all my friends that walked, Leesa Butler, Gabrielle Miller, Rosey Edeh, Casie Stewart, Gail McInnes, Tre Armstrong, Erica Wark, the new people I met Solange Tuyishime, Elisabeth Manley, Leanne Lang,TL Radar, and a big shout to me good friend Cory Lee for being so amazing for walking and singing for this great cause.
Also big thank you to a MM Crystal Michelle Merizzi for coming down doing the jewelry and always supporting me with everything I do since the beginning. I also can't forget the designers that helped me out last minute Rachel Sin, DeMOYO, Turbine,Sukhoo Sukhoo Thank you Thank you. It was such a great experience to be on the other side helping put together such a big show which gave me such a great experience and I wish Ottawa Fashion week the best as I will no longer be supporting!
