Ferns want to end 2012 season on a high note
One last chance
AARON GOILERelevant offers
The Quad Series title might be all but out of their grasp, but the Silver Ferns have one last chance to wrest the momentum from the Australian Diamonds, and go into next year the happier of the two camps.
Tonight the old rivals do battle for the 111th time in the final round of the series at Claudelands Arena in Hamilton.
Having been dealt a 20-goal thumping in their previous meeting in Sydney, New Zealand would need to hand the Diamonds something like the record 25-goal belting they dished out in Auckland in 2005 to overhaul the Aussies on goal differential.
Ferns goal attack Maria Tutaia said enough homework had been done on their opponents and they just needed to get out and rectify what happened in Sydney.
"Honestly, it was just our stupid, uncharacteristic mistakes," she said of that loss. "We've watched it many times and it doesn't look like the Silver Fern team that we know, and the Silver Fern game that we can play.
"This week has been all about cutting our error rate down.
"We know we can play great netball and we know that we are the best.
"We've just got to kill it tomorrow to be honest. There's no excuses.
"If we want to end 2012 with a bang, tomorrow is our only chance."
Unlikely as a series win is, the real focus for the Ferns is recapturing the form with which they beat their trans-Tasman neighbours in the Constellation Cup series in September.
Ferns coach Waimarama Taumaunu feels she has done enough rotating and building of depth through the series, so New Zealand will go out with all their big guns blazing.
Taumaunu has given her players plenty of rest time since their trip back from the first leg of the series in Australia, and now needs one giant performance from her troops, who, like the Aussies, are feeling the effects of a long series and season.
She labelled the likes of Leana de Bruin, Katrina Grant and Anna Harrison as "unsung heroes" for the extended time they have had to be on court in both games and training sessions when skipper Casey Williams was missing through injury.
At yesterday's training session at St Paul's Collegiate School, the Ferns had a game against nine Waikato players to replicate the Australian intensity and the way they shut down space, with Taumaunu getting her players to learn that there is always space on court but that they had to work harder to find it.
With the teams knowing each other so well, Taumaunu said she would be mightily impressed if the Diamonds could come up with something surprising, and likewise felt the Diamonds wouldn't be too surprised by them, though her counterpart Lisa Alexander felt there were still some areas of mystery.
"We've analysed a couple of setups that we think the Silver Ferns are going to trial on us," Alexander said. "So we'll have a couple of new things up our sleeve to combat that. We're just looking forward to the challenge of rising again and showing all of our fans back in Australia that in Sydney it wasn't a fluke, it was built on hard work."
Alexander has freshened her players up, with a few sleep-ins this week, before training at Waikato Diocesan School for Girls yesterday.
Captain Natalie von Bertouch and vice-captain Catherine Cox have overcome knocks sustained in their last outing against England.
Alexander said they couldn't take things for granted, even after their last win against the Ferns.
"In high level sport, sometimes it can just be like that," she said of her team's huge win that day. "No matter what you're trying, sometimes things just don't come off for you, and sometimes teams can have just the run of everything, it goes their way. We expect that won't happen again; we expect this will be a really close contest."
Ferns vice-captain Laura Langman spent yesterday afternoon sitting her final university exam ahead of her 90th consecutive test.

Written on: 18/03/2014 by MRSKG2B (1 review written)
the worst thing you can do is believe everything you read, the day my dress was due to arrive I though id have a look at some reviews. they completely ruined the experience of buying a wedding dress. I received a text saying my dress had been delivered and I was dreading it, I got home and opened the package and instantly was crying in fear of what it would be like thinking it would be made of polyester and a poor copy of what was advertised, I waited till the next morning to try it on with my mother in law (to be) and the relief was overwhelming! it was beautiful! it fit perfectly and I felt amazing. everyone has their own experiences but if you choose to do what I did and focus on the bad reviews it completely ruins it all for you! Im sure some people have had bad experiences but the people who aren't happy with the service are the majority of people who write bad reviews. I would recommend this and I will purchase from here for my wedding reception dress! (the wedding dress for my beach wedding and an evening dress for a reception back home)
the only bad point is the tax bill that they don't tell you about clearly until you have bought it.
Written on: 22/04/2014
Good for you. But the reason we write poor reviews is because we have received poor and shoddily made dresses from this rip off company. Then when you complain they refuse to honor their obligation to put right or refund.
They have ruined many special occasions and I hope yours isn't one of them

"Nice place"
Great place to stay if you want to be in between the French market and bourbon street!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great location."
Great location, near Bourbon Street, The French Market and Jackson Square. Very noisy though. We stayed in room 116 which was very noisy with doors slamming and people in the courtyard. The room was very nice. Happened to be one of the stops on our Ghost Tour. We did not see any ghosts :)Genuine Expedia guest review
"Nice Hotel in a Great Location"
Wonderful hotel with friendly staff. Small issue with housekeeping not taking out the trash in the room each day, but not a large deal. On check in, my card was incorrectly overcharged and, a week later, that amount is still showing as pending. Not very apologetic as it was their error and seemed a little unsure how to fix it. So, now I have both the […] $436 incorrect charge and the $113 correct charge on my card. Good thing I want using a debit card as that kind of error could easily ruin a trip.

Yes parking cost and you walk past were its parked, but its done to insure no one gets drunk and hits your car. The place is locked at 10pm so only guest get in. The places feels like a small villa. Quiet peaceful but closs to all the action. My top choice in the futureGenuine Hotels.com guest review
The biggest problem I had with the hotel was that there was NO hot water. It could only be called lukewarm at best. I would probably not stay there again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great room, location - comfortable and clean"
This was a really good stay, good value, terrific location. We did not have a chance to swim in the pool, but it was warm and inviting.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Convenient and charming"
My mom and I shared a room on a recent trip to New Orleans and LOVED the Hotel Provencial. It was convenient to everywhere we wanted to go. Despite being in an older building, the room had most conveniences we wanted and was a nice mix of modern and historic charm. The breakfast service was standard but good, and the happy hour was a nice service. We […] missed having coffee service in the room, but there was coffee available in the lobby most of the day (they stop when the bar is open from 3-10pm) We also missed having a desk ... but it forced me to work less, which wasn't a bad thing.

"Stayed one night."
This hotel was very charming, the bar was quaint. It was nice to be able to get a drink right there after a long day of traveling. Staff was excellent and knowledgable. We were in a good proximity to be able to walk and go to surrounding sites. The room was small but cozy. I liked the historical feel, it definitely had the New Orleans vibe.Genuine Expedia guest review
"We keep coming back!"
This was our 4th stay at Hotel Provincial. If we didnt really enjoy it, we wouldnt keep coming back. Rooms are clean and varied, on our first visit, we were able to get one of the rooms overlooking Chartres and fell in love with it. Been trying to get that room again but so far - no luck. Still a great stay no matter which building and room you get. […] The only reason cleanliness did not get a 5 was that the bedspread had a bit of a funk to it, but that is it. Staff is ready and able to help at a moments notice, always polite and professional with a courtly air, The addition of the Ice House Bar is nice, but its rall selling point is James the Barman. Everything you want in a barman - a fount of knowledge on everything libation related as well as the local lore and layout. He immediately makes you feel like an old friend. We'll be back many, many more times. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotel Provincial is very unique. The staff was great and the grounds are beautiful. It is within a couple of blocks for shopping and dining. I would stay there again.Genuine Expedia guest review
"All good , but a bit noisy and no dining option..."
We stayed 4 nights and our only real complaints are much the same as most other reviews.....need to kick up the breakfast offerings a bit...could expand bar hours (though both bartenders, James and Etienne are excellent), and I would recommend you NOT get a room in the main building anywhere near the courtyard if you would like some peace beyond 7a.m. […] as it gets extremely noisy and lots of doors are slamming starting about then.Staff were all friendly and helpful.Be aware that you are a bit off the beaten path down here but are in the best spot for Frenchmen Street action (Spotted Cat and 3 Muses highly recommended).A It is a good hotel especially with a good Expedia deal ....needs a dining option to get an excellent rating...Stella is gone now.

Good experience it was. This form is a bit ridiculous.Genuine Expedia guest review
"great local"
Enjoy the hotel and staff but it is very simple. The location is it's best quality. Have stayed there 3 times.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Hotel Provincial"
The hotel was very quaint and homey with a great history. The staff was very inviting and helpful. Would have liked to park my own car but hard to complain about mandatory valet services. The hotel was located close enough to Bourban Street and had wonderful coupons for amazing, near by resteraunts. I have to say my dinner was the best out of my whole […] trip. The pool was right off of my room and breakfast was complimentary. The checkout was easy and quick and lots of help with our luggage. remember, there is an extra charge for more than two people, that was a bummer! was a little expensive for the third person, not sure why because there were two beds in the room. The other guests were also friendly and I loved that they gave their guests a map of the area. didn't have to use my gps. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"FQ Staycation"
I live in NOLA but wanted a staycation in the French Quarter. Hotel Provincial was perfect. The pool was perfect, the room was so comfy and I love that all rooms face the courtyard. The location was in a quiet pocket of the FQ but close to Lafitte's, the French Market, Irene's Cuisine and more. I'll go back anytime I get a chance.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"An Oasis in the French Quarter"
I found the Hotel Provincial to be an oasis in the middle of the French Quarter that was exactly the New Orleans experience I was looking for. Historic hotel (on the haunted tour no less - the building I stayed in was originally an army hospital back in 1722) in a fantastic location. It was very quiet, as it is surrounded immediately on all sides by […] residential area/ rooms are set back in from the street, but only a couple blocks from the nightlife- just down the street is the famous Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop. There are several buildings that make up this complex, surrounding a private parking lot, two swimming pools (definitely check out the "little pool" that is ultra-private; behind another interior sitting area, it has a lion's head fountain, clear cool water, 5' deep and surrounded by walls and vegetation. The "big pool" is 7' deep at one end surrounded by guest room buildings. There is a wide variety of rooms, all oozing with historic charm. The many courtyards are beautiful romantic spots. The Ice Bar (not clear why it's called that) is ok, could use a facelift but can't complain about the "buy one get one half price" cocktail ticket they gave when I checked in got me off to a great start! Almost to a person, the staff was extremely friendly and helpful (working on Labor Day no less), and they were working hard to keep up the place and attend to guest needs. My room was very clean and cozy, even had a river view I didn't expect. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"We'll be back!"
So close to everywhere we wanted to be. Loved the location and will return in a couple of months.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Parking fees."
Overall no complaints until I learn they were going to charge us for parking inside the hotel grounds when reservations were made no one mention a charge for parking I did complaint to the front desk and to the manager they did tell me not to worry and took care of the misunderstanding, overall we were very pleased staying there.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very memorable"
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the French Quarter. The staff and surroundings of Hotel Provencial are freindly and impeccable.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Will definitely stay here again - great parking, safe & secure - could get to my car anytime I needed. Great employees, great room, great location, nice breakfast.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Good location"
Overall experience was good. Only issue we had was bathroom sink did not drain. We reported it for 2days and they finally gave us a new room. Other than that we had a good experience!Genuine Expedia guest review

Close to Jackson Square and Bourbon Street. Nice well-appointed rooms. Good value for the location.Genuine Expedia guest review
Good experience,had a great time!!! Hotel was beautiful and staff was professional. I would want to go back and would recommend it to a friend!!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Lovely hotel, gracious staff, amazing location!"
This hotel is perfect for the price. It is very historic and the grounds are beautiful and well kept. We had a basic queen room and it overlooked the pool. It was perfect for what we needed, as we were barely in the hotel. The bed was very comfortable and there was plenty of room. The pool looked refreshing even though we didn't use it. The courtyard […] is charming and perfect to take the continental breakfast to. The location is the best. It is a few blocks from Jackson Square, and a few more to Bourbon Street, but it is very quiet and not busy at all around the hotel. Will definitely stay here again.

"Family Vacation"
After weeks of searching deals on Hotels.com, the Hotel Provincial appeared a few days before arrival (family road trip of Southern States). Great room rate and reasonable daily parking fee. With two kids (girls 14 & 6), we wanted to be within walking distance to the Quarter and area, have a pool and breakfast option in morning. Room was big enough […] for the 4 of us, queen beds, upgraded bathroom and decorated with antiques.French doors opened to overlook a quaint courtyard with fountain (a bit loud at night and should be turned off at 11pm). Room (#216) was located just right and no sound was heard from street or surrounding area. Continental breakfast was similar to most but fit our needs. A nice intimate bar off the lobby with great drinks. I would be remiss if I didn't talk about the staff. EVERYONE we met was amazing, incredible and the poster children of southern hospitality!!! Special mention to 3 staff members, who made our stay incredible: Etienne the bartender makes the best homemade "Hurricane" in NO and recommended restaurants and visit to the "Frenchman". Celeste provided and maintained the morning breakfast with a sparkly smile, soulful charm and grace and beauty. Sherlayne at Font Desk helped book tours, found discounts and deals, gave detailed directions, followed up with phone calls and gave this California girl a very special gift. Sherlayne you are truly a beautiful human being. Thank you all for your hospitality and genuine care and concern. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"a french quarter experience"
unique, non corporate, friendly and warm french quarter inn. james the bartender was excellent, and the rest of the friendly staff was as well. the fine complimentary continental breakfast in the courtyard was a perfect way to start the morning! would stay again!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Clean and Beautiful"
Our rooms were pristine, the courtyards were beautiful, and there are TWO pools to use, a larger one, and a smaller one hidden away in one of the lovely courtyards (the water was also the perfect temperature). The complimentary breakfast was quite good and is an excellent way to save money for days that you decide to skip Cafe du Monde or another breakfast […] spot (the muffins in particular are delicious). They also provide each room with a BOGO half off drink coupon for the bar, which is also pretty nice. There is no actual restaurant on site, but there are so many great places to eat in the Quarter, it doesn't really matter. The staff is friendly and very helpful, and the hotel is well-kept. It is also extremely close to Jackson Square and the French Market, which is great! It is a bit far from some places (like canal street) but if you don't mind a little walking (and the Quarter is a great place for a stroll) it's just fine. Also, since it's a decent distance from the epicenter of Bourbon Street, its pretty quiet and a good place to rest. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Another wonderful stay at the Hotel Provincial!"
We have stayed at this hotel for years. We love it and the staff is wonderful. Unfortunately, there is one thing that is bothersome and I wish they would change. The beautiful courtyard is a designated smoking area. The courtyard is so smoky that if you're not a smoker, you can't enjoy having breakfast in the courtyard. If you're not a smoker, you can't […] even sit and relax and listen to the fountain because it's so smoky. They need to move the designated smoking area to an outdoor area where there's a breeze instead of the courtyard, which is basically enclosed with rooms surrounding it.

This was a pleasant hotel. It was near the "action" but far enough away that it was not loud. I would stay there again.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Charming hotel near the French Market"
The hotel is in a perfect location close to everything of interest in the French Quarter. We stayed in a room with a balcony facing Decatur street that use to be a military hospital. The building is beautiful and full of character. The staff is very friendly! I would definitely stay in this hotel again.Genuine Expedia guest review
"close to everything"
Really enjoyed our experience, however brief.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Beautiful, historic hotel in the French Quarter."
The hotel was beautiful! It had two gorgeous swimming pools, it was charming and very reminiscent of historic New Orleans! The staff was very helpful and friendly, and made us feel very welcomed!Genuine Expedia guest review
It's an absolutely beautiful, charming hotel. It's just a few blocks from French market and Bourbon as well as being close to Cafe Du Monde. The service was superb. Be prepared for $29.00 valet parking though and there's no mini fridge in the room.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Perfect location in the French Quarter"
Because this hotel is centrally located in the French Quarter, it is convenient enough to return from touring to relax in the middle of the day or to drop off purchases. It is quiet, despite New Orleans's reputation of being a noisy city. It also has the Old New Orleans charm while at the same time being well maintained.Genuine Expedia guest review
"very nice in the heart of where you want to be"
We liked the hotel. The best part was location. No elevators. Service was nice. The valet guy was very friendly. I liked the charm of the building and the history,but the atmosphere of the hotel is not how it shows on the website photos. But location location location.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very convenient location."
Very nice stay. Checked in early, room was lovely and the location was close to everything.Genuine Expedia guest review
"First timer"
This was my first time to New Orleans. I originally booked this hotel because of its customer reviews online, and was extremely pleased with it! The rooms were a good size, very clean, and centrally located. We could get to Bourbon Street by car for less than $10, but was far enough away from it that the noise didn't bother us at all. The staff here […] were very helpful and quick service. Valet is a huge plus!!! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice Hotel"

"Comfortable and quiet"
I have stayed in the French Quarter before at other hotels, but none were as serene and quiet as this one. The building is old but well maintained. The room and bathroom were clean. The hotel staff was very friendly and offered suggestions on events and food. I will definitely stay here again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Cute place"
For the price and location you can't go wrong! The staff is awesome and the pools are quite and cozy. Definitely a place I'll stay again. Only bad thing was the ac rattled during the night.Genuine Expedia guest review
Very charming hotel. Staff was very helpful and knowledgable. Room gets as cold as you want it to, very nice for summer vacationers. Great balcony. Only thing I had a minor problem with was the windows leading to the balcony were a little hard to open - they went up and down. Overall a great choice.Genuine Expedia guest review
I would have to say that this was a nice place to stay and conveniently located within walking distance of everything we wanted to see.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
This hotel actually spoiled me. I stayed in a suite on the second floor. The room was incredibly clean and had nostalgic décor. There's no elevator but the staff helps with everything. The valet parking was a nice treat and perfectly priced considering you can come-and-go as often as you like all day. The location was perfect, I walked everywhere and […] had fun with the carriage rides and tours. I don't want to stay anywhere else when I return. I'll definitely come back here.

One of the largest manufacturers and suppliers of paints in the Pacific Northwest, Parker Paint has been sprucing up interiors and exteriors since 1945. The company has evolved over the years to keep up with the latest advancements in painting technology. Among the multi-hued fruits of this evolution are weather-ready exterior paints, whose modern formulas scoff at the elements and prove ideal for realistic yet unflattering outdoor murals of the neighbors. With more than 1,600 shades to choose from, painters will find it nearly impossible to settle, like a bowl of jello during an earthquake. Luckily, customers can take advantage of the handy virtual decorator to narrow their choices and forecast what color schemes should be applied to which room, such as aquamarine themes for the exotic-fish room, bright primary colors for the inflatable fire escape, and a variety of yellows for a basement filled with antique butter churns.
Mattress Depot USA unites a team of bedding experts to help customers end restless nights with a mattress that meets their individual sleep specifications. The sleep store's plenitude of private-label and national brands include Sealy, Restonic, and Lady Americana. Memory-foam mattresses, like sociable elephants, never forget a human form, cradling silhouettes in a firm, spongy embrace. Customers have up to 120 days to evaluate their mattress for its comfort capacity, and can consult with one of the shop's sleep consultants prior to purchase, reducing the likelihood of an imperfect fit.
Interstate All Battery Center leads the charge in power outposts, providing lifelong electron-spendthrifts with brand-new batteries for their trucks, cell phones, computers, and more.

Household powerables are also available, including 24-packs of Interstate AAs or AAAs for bulk buyers ($12.99), a watch battery with installation ($7.99), and one case of Lite Brite fuel, distilled from corn syrup and Olympic silver medals. Old used batteries find comfy retirement at Interstate's recycling center, allowing their former owners and well-meaning grandchildren to rest easy.
Stewart and Julie Patey ensure restful evenings in the Everett area with comfortable mattresses from Ergomotion, Reverie, and Restwell. With the help of their knowledgeable sales staff, they dispense advice and help outfit sleeping chambers with elegant bedroom furniture and accessories. They keep bedrooms safe and clean with an inventory of hypoallergenic pillows and waterproof Protect-A-Bed mattress protectors, which guard against stains, bacteria, and dust mites. Upon delivery of a new mattress, Stewart and Julie can also take away the old mattress, which they in turn donate to charity or use to build forts.
Covenant Art Glass' talented and friendly staff helps patrons turn empty wine bottles into multipurpose pieces of art. Armed with an emptied, cleaned, and dried wine bottle brought from home, approximately 20 students at a time can work with teachers to slump bottles into cheese trays during the one-hour workshop. Students leave bottles behind after the class session, and skilled staff sends them on a transformative trip to the kiln, which leaves them ready for pickup the week following the class. Along with making a functional and non-explosive homemade gift, finished slumped bottles come with a complimentary stainless steel cheese-spreader. With the purchase of this Groupon, customers also receive a 20% discount on stained-glass classes.
With spring bursting from the earth like a bony hand from a freshly dug grave and summer a pale horse on the horizon, there are any number of terrifying events to cope with: Mother's Day, prom, graduation, and May Day, to name but a few. All of these are best met head-on with floral arrangements, potted plants, or decorative containers heaped with treats courtesy of Stadium Flowers. A Sweet Bird Garden ($44.98) comes nestled in a woven basket adorned with a bird and filled with a palette of flowers. Treat mom or an open-minded dad to a vase of Spring Roses, garnished with raffia and butterfly. Non-traditional options also abound, such as a more-edible-than-flowers Nature's Bounty ($69.98) or a prettily practical Daisy Pitcher ($19.98, $44.98 with flowers). And just in time for prom night, a gorgeous four-rose wristlet corsage with kalanchoe ($34.98) makes a beautiful pre-apology for ruining a date's dress before she can return it to Nordstrom's.

Baxter Employee Hannah Jeon And Her Daughters Regularly Volunteer At The Red Cross Community Center In Seoul, Korea, To Bake Loaves Of Bread For Underprivileged Members Of The Community. (Photo: Business Wire)
Baxter International Inc. (NYSE: BAX) today issued its 14 th consecutive Sustainability Report, available at http://sustainability.baxter.com, detailing the company's commitment and progress to creating lasting social, environmental and economic value by addressing the needs of stakeholders worldwide.
Baxter employee Hannah Jeon and her daughters regularly volunteer at the Red Cross Community Center in Seoul, Korea, to bake loaves of bread for underprivileged members of the community. (Photo: Business Wire)
''Sustainability encompasses virtually every aspect of how we do business,'' said Robert L. Parkinson, Jr., Baxter's chairman and chief executive officer. ''Just as Baxter's mission is to save and sustain lives, we are committed to helping our many global stakeholders thrive.''
Highlights from Baxter's 2012 Sustainability Report include:
- Exceeding Baxter's goal of using 20 percent renewable power in its facilities by 2015. In 2012, 22 percent of Baxter's total energy use for operations was from renewable energy sources due in part to several on-site renewable energy projects. These included installation of a photovoltaic (PV) system at Baxter's Toongabbie, Australia, facility that produces sufficient electricity for the office complex with the exception of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system, and installation of a comprehensive geothermal cooling system at Baxter's Orth, Austria, facility that uses the relatively constant temperature of the groundwater for cooling and heating the building, as opposed to traditional HVAC chiller systems. In late 2012, Baxter's Malta facility began installation of the company's largest on-site PV system that will provide approximately 23 percent of the site's electricity and reduce the site's greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by 1,100 metric tons carbon dioxide equivalent annually.
- Reducing GHG emissions by 12 percent on an absolute basis since 2005, 39 percent indexed to revenue, placing Baxter on track to exceed its 2015 goal to reduce GHG from operations 45 percent indexed to revenue. This is due in part to adoption of innovative technologies such as Baxter's Malta facility converting 95 percent of its lighting to high efficiency light emitting diode (LED) technology, and three facilities using boilers powered by sustainably sourced biomass fuels.
- Creating a Human Rights Policy and updating its Ethics and Compliance Standards for Suppliers to encourage business partners to make similar efforts in the area of human rights. Baxter evaluates the sustainability performance of its suppliers, including related to human rights, via a survey to learn about each supplier's sustainability programs and identify opportunities for best practice sharing and collaboration to improve the performance of both Baxter and its suppliers. Baxter routinely conducts quality audits of its suppliers and joined the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Initiative in 2012, a group of pharmaceutical companies who share a vision of better social, economic and environmental outcomes for all those involved in the pharmaceutical supply chain.
Baxter's nine sustainability priorities reflect issues of key concern to Baxter and its stakeholders in areas where the company is positioned to have a positive impact. Priorities include strengthening access to healthcare, enhancing math and science education, and a range of environmental initiatives such as reducing energy use, waste generation, and water use.
Baxter's 2012 Sustainability Report is aligned with the Global Reporting Initiative guidelines, which provide a uniform and transparent set of metrics to systematically report on sustainability initiatives and results.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

(AP Photo/Morry Gash) MILWAUKEE (AP) Mike Fiers is happy to be pitching in the big leagues again in the middle of a pennant race, and he's not afraid to get a little emotional on the mound.Fiers extended his successful run since being called up from Triple-A, winning his fourth straight start after holding the Pittsburgh Pirates to two hits in seven innings in a 4-3 win Sunday.Approaching 100 pitches near the end of the seventh, Fiers yelled and pumped his right arm as he exited the mound after Pedro Alvarez lined to short for the third out.''I knew that was probably going to be my last inning,'' Fiers said. ''I'm just so pumped up to be up here and contribute to this team.''That might be an understatement - the lanky right-hander has a 1.29 ERA in 28 innings in four outings since replacing the injured Matt Garza in the rotation. Fiers has 32 strikeouts to just four walks in that span.On Sunday, Fiers (4-1) fanned seven to help Milwaukee avoid a three-game sweep. He allowed Starling Marte's two-run shot in the second before retiring 16 of the next 17 batters.''It has been incredibly impressive,'' outfielder Ryan Braun said. ''I don't think anybody foresaw him coming up and being the best pitcher in baseball the last four starts.''Closer Francisco Rodriguez gave up a homer to Andrew McCutchen with one in the ninth. Rodriguez put the tying run aboard with two outs with a walk before striking out Alvarez for his 39th save.Milwaukee knocked around Vance Worley (5-4) for four runs over the first two innings, with each hit coming with two outs. Pittsburgh had its three-game winning streak snapped and dropped to five back in the NL Central.''Back-to-back innings, I haven't seen it very often, with two outs, nobody on, four straight hits,'' manager Clint Hurdle said. ''And again it goes back to rhythm. I think his (delivery) angle.''Worley settled down after the first two innings, retiring 13 of 15 until leaving with one out in the seventh.Jonathan Lucroy hit his National League-leading 43rd double for the Brewers, who snapped a three-game losing streak to increase their lead in the Central to 1 1/2 games over second-place St. Louis.SECOND CHANCESLucroy singled home a run in the second after Carlos Gomez reached on a two-out double to left-center that glanced off McCutchen's glove. Aramis Ramirez followed two batters later with his second single of the day to drive home Lucroy for a 4-2 lead.The Pirates had tied it at 2 in the top of the second after Marte homered on to the concourse above left-center. Fiers allowed just Russell Martin's single in the fourth from there, getting out of that inning with a pretty over-the-shoulder catch with two outs by shortstop Elian Herrera in shallow center to save a potential hit.FABULOUS FIERSThe 6-foot-2 Fiers' fastball tops only at about 90 mph, but his motion can be a little tough. When Fiers winds up, he raises his glove hand high in the air while rearing his throwing arm back from near the waist. Then Fiers swings the arm around from an nearly an over-the-top angle to deliver the pitch.''It's all about location. Downhill angle, number one weapon that he's got,'' Hurdle said. ''That size, he gets on top of the ball with downhill angle.''TRAINER'S ROOMPIRATES: INF Clint Barmes could rejoin the team during a three-game series against St. Louis, which starts Monday in Pittsburgh. Barmes has been on the disabled list since July 6 with strained left groin.BREWERS: Garza, who was supposed to throw a light bullpen session Sunday, is recovering from a strained rib cage muscle. Manager Ron Roenicke said Garza will throw again Tuesday if Sunday's bullpen outing went well. Garza went on the disabled list Aug. 5.UP NEXTPIRATES: LHP Francisco Liriano (3-10) will try to rebound from a tough outing when he opens the Cardinals series. He gave up nine runs in four-plus innings in an 11-3 loss last week to Atlanta.BREWERS: RHP Kyle Lohse (11-7) returns to the rotation to open a three-game series in San Diego. Lohse hasn't started since Aug. 13 because of a right ankle injury.---Follow Genaro Armas at http://twitter.com/GArmasAP Promoted Stories Comments More MLB

Join Meir Panim's campaign to "light up" Chanukah for families in need.
Israel's Finance Ministry has authorized the sale of water purification tablets to Syria by Israel Chemicals.
According to a report by Israel21c, the availability of clean water is at an all-time low in Syria. UNICEF turned to Israel to purchase Israel Chemicals' AquaTabs water purification tablets, but Israeli law prohibiting companies from selling products to enemy countries stood in the way.
Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz personally signed off on the deal, saying the tablets are being sold to the UN, not to Syria. Israel's law forbidding companies from knowingly selling products that will benefit a hostile state without special authorization dates back to 1939
AquaTabs kill micro-organisms and are considered better water treatment than boiling.

Power cuts a worry no longer at Karingal
Seymour aged-care facility gets a new generator.
April 17, 2014 3:12amKaringal Seymour chief executive Judy Dahlke, president Bill Melbourne, resident Beryl Larkin and State member for Seymour Cindy McLeish with the new generator.
Power cuts at Karingal Seymour used to be cause for concern — but no more.
The aged-care facility can now get through the loss of electricity thanks to a new Welling and Crossley 400
It came courtesy of the Local Infrastructure Assistance Fund, a Victorian Government program to install back-up power generators to residential care facilities, making sure the most vulnerable have access to reliable power supplies on Total Fire Ban days.
Facilities eligible for funding include those which care for people who are critically dependent upon electricity to maintain their health and wellbeing.
Karingal Seymour's 60 aged residents are now assured of uninterrupted power supply throughout the year.
Karingal president Bill Melbourne thanked State Member for Seymour Cindy McLeish and the Victorian Government for the generator.
''This just makes it so safe for people,'' he said.
''When the power went off (at the old Karingal building) there was nothing we could do really.''
Ms McLeish said the generators were being installed in bushfire-prone regions, as per the recommendation of the Royal Commission into the 2009 fires.
Areas prioritised for initial rollout were those where changes are made to powerline safety settings on Total Fire Ban and Code Red days in summer to minimise the risk of bushfire.
Once these areas have been done, the program is expected to be rolled out across the state.

Cambodian refugees flood into Thailand
Tuesday 19 August 1997
Wheeling carts and herding chickens, pigs and cows, families began their exodus from the threatened village of O'Smach in the dead of night. The flood of people and animals across the border went on into the early hours of today.
The evacuation came after Hun Sen's troops were seen on the outskirts of O'Smach, five miles from the border town of Chong Chom Pass, Cambodian and Thai officials said.
The refugees' flight presaged what refugees and Thai officials expected would be an all-out fight later today for O'Smach, the last stronghold of supporters of Hun Sen's ousted rival, Prince Norodom Ranariddh.
An estimated 30,000 people had massed at O'Smach for weeks, desperate to escape the violence accompanying Hun Sen's bloody 5-6 July ouster of Prince Ranariddh. With the prince's supporters outgunned and outmanned, the refugees have been preparing to cross the border since Friday, when shelling by Hun Sen's troops became closer and more frequent. Thailand had said it would admit the refugees if their lives were in immediate danger in the fighting.
By this morning, only soldiers providing security for the exodus could be seen in O'Smach. The last refugees were making their way through the border checkpoint and into a temporary camp at Khueng Hoeichueng, a mile inside Thailand.
About 100 Thai soldiers escorted the refugees, shining lights for people to make their way in. Refugees panicked briefly yesterday afternoon when word reached the civilians that Hun Sen's forces had somehow managed to scale the mountain that served as their last line of defence, and were at the edge of the village. Prince Ranariddh's forces had called the mountain impregnable, saying it was heavily mined and booby trapped.
Heavy shelling was also heard west of the village, raising fears of fierce fighting today after the usual nighttime break in hostilities. At that point, leaders in the village asked for and got permission to take the refugees into Thailand.
The exodus itself went peacefully. The Cambodian families made their way quietly by foot to their new camp, carrying belongings that had been packed for days.Tiny children helped push their families' wooden carts. The tired among them sat by the side of the narrow border road briefly for a rest.
Aad Yo, 60, waited by the side of the road with a broken cart, hoping for a friend to come by with a new one. "I was very afraid of Hun Sen, afraid that [Ranariddh's] soldiers would shoot and I would be in the middle," he said. "I was afraid to get hit by accident. I could not stay anymore."
After one night in the temporary camp, the refugees are to move to a better site four miles away. O'Smach apparently remained in the hands of troops loyal to Prince Ranariddh. Thai military officers said only one to two miles separated the enemy forces - and they, too, expected heavy fighting later today.
In Bangkok, an exiled member of Cambodia's Parliament said O'Smach remained in the hands of Prince Ranariddh's supporters. The legislator, Ahmed Yahya, said a commander loyal to the prince, General Khan Savoeun, had dismissed a claim from Hun Sen's side that its forces were within one mile of the village.

Simon Calder: Dreamliner - don't fret about the jet, yet
The man who pays his way
Simon Calder
Simon Calder's career in travel started at Gatwick Airport, where he cleaned aircraft for Laker Airways and later worked as a security officer. He became The Independent's Travel Correspondent in 1994, and is known as "the Man Who Pays His Way" because he does not accept free travel facilities. He writes across the Independent titles, as well as for the Evening Standard.
Saturday 19 January 2013
You might think that the first rule of flying would be: "Get airborne." In fact, the prime design principle for the commercial airliner is that it can be evacuated quickly on the ground. We passengers, often disparagingly known as "self-loading freight", can easily take half-an-hour to board a plane, but are expected to self-unload within 90 seconds.
Every passenger aircraft, up to the largest in the shape of the Airbus A380, has been tested to ensure up to 853 passengers and a couple of dozen crew can clear the jet within a minute and a half of the captain ordering an emergency evacuation. The train, bus or car in which you will travel this weekend will not be so rigorously regulated. And next time you are in a mid-sized theatre, imagine that performance – with the added complication of a long slide to the ground.
The rules for getting everyone off the plane in an almighty hurry exist because of the often tragic consequences of fire aboard aircraft. Smoke and fire have claimed far more travellers' lives than terrorism – with many fatalities involving otherwise survivable crashes. Many lessons were learnt from the last fatal accident involving a British Airways jet, in 1985. As the Boeing 737, accelerated along the runway at Manchester, destination Corfu, it suffered an uncontained engine failure that started a fire. Tragically, 55 passengers and crew perished as the aircraft burned on the ground.
The grounding this week of the Dreamliner was down to the fear of fire, not due to the other snags that have afflicted the Boeing 787. While nervous flyers might not agree, the odd fuel leak, cracked cockpit windscreen and brake issues that the Dreamliner has suffered comprise run-of-the-mill teething problems.
Given the revolutionary design of the 787, there were always going to be more issues than on other new aircraft. But the lithium battery failure that caused heat damage and smoke on two Japanese-owned Dreamliners is an order of magnitude more worrying. "These conditions, if not corrected, could result in damage to critical systems and structures, and the potential for fire," said the US air authorities when they issued an emergency airworthiness directive grounding the plane. Safety agencies in Europe, India, Japan and Chile quickly followed suit.
Super shuffle
Your involvement with lithium-ion batteries is probably the same as mine: we ignore them, until they run out at a critical moment. So far, neither my lithium-powered laptop nor my mobile phone has spontaneously combusted, but if either did I would move a safe distance away until the danger subsided. In flight, where every moment is critical, this is not an option. And so all Dreamliner operations have stopped.
Travellers booked on 787s in the near future face problems. Not only will the alternative be less comfortable (and harsher on the environment), it could also involve a longer flight. Dreamliner owners are shuffling their fleets as they try to find substitute jets – and pilots to fly them. Some can replace the Dreamliner with a similar-sized plane, such as a 767 or A330, but spare aircraft are expensive assets to keep standing around and are strictly finite. Some departures are being downsized, such as United flights in the US, where 737s are among the replacement. Others are simply being cancelled: passengers booked on Japan Airlines' San Diego-Tokyo are finding that their reservation has gone west, yet they haven't. Qatar Airways, the only carrier operating the jet from the UK, has cancelled the daily flight to Doha.
Few other British travellers are, so far, affected because no UK airline has the aircraft. That is due to change next month, when Thomson takes delivery of its first Dreamliner. The jet enters service on 1 May with a 9.15am departure from East Midlands to Cancun. "We are still working to our original delivery dates," the company says, but I bet, behind the scenes, Thomson is also working on contingency plans.
Boeing's pride slides
So, is it time for 787 passengers to head for the nearest available exit? No. The world's best aeronautical engineers and safety officials are working flat out towards a swift and effective solution. There is no lack of incentive to find one. The airlines are losing £20,000 per plane, per day, for as long as the grounding drags on. The cost for Boeing is inestimable. Few sights in aviation are less dignified than a brand new aircraft standing forlorn and flightless – particularly on the runway, with its evacuation slides deployed.
