Smithsonian American Indian museum tackles racist stereotypes, mascots in American sports
WASHINGTON - The Washington Redskins' team name has been the subject of legal battles, political debate and now will be part of a scholarly discussion at the Smithsonian about the use of Native American mascots and nicknames in American sports.
The National Museum of the American Indian will host a daylong symposium Thursday entitled "Racist Stereotypes and Cultural Appropriation in American Sports." Scholars, sports writers and Native Americans will gather for the public discussion.
The Redskins' name, perhaps the most visible, has been the subject of ongoing debate. As recently as Tuesday night, Washington Mayor Vincent Gray specifically avoided saying the name of Washington's NFL franchise in his State of the District speech and instead referred to "our Washington football team."
Museum Director Kevin Gover, of the Pawnee Nation, said the name "redskins" is the most offensive term for a team, at least to his ear.
"It is the equivalent of the n-word," Gover said. "That's how it was used when I was a child. That's the name people chose to call me if they wanted to hurt my feelings, and I think that's still the case in many circumstances."
The Redskins' name and logo was part of a 17-year court battle with a group of American Indians who say the name is offensive and want it changed. In 2009, the Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal from the Native Americans based on the age of the plaintiffs. There is now a new case filed by younger plaintiffs that is due for a hearing in March at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
Former Colorado Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell, who will attend the symposium, said he introduced a bill in Congress about 20 years ago to block any federal land for a stadium for any team that carried a derogatory name. He debated with then-Redskins owner Jack Kent Cooke, who cited public polls supporting the name, before the Redskins opted to move to a site in Maryland.
"From my perspective, it's just a matter of basic fairness for anybody that's of a minority culture," Campbell said. "There are derogatory names for any group. Most of that has been cleaned up, there's been so much public pressure ... but unfortunately, it has not been that way for Indians."
The team did not respond to requests for comment Wednesday. Owner Daniel Snyder has been adamant about keeping the name. Last week before the Super Bowl, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell defended the Redskins.
"I think Dan Snyder and the organization have made it very clear that they're proud of that heritage and that name, and I believe fans are, too," Goodell said.
Since the 1970s, hundreds of high school and college teams have done away with Native American nicknames, though many others remain. In 2005, the NCAA announced it would ban the use of American Indian imagery and nicknames at post-season tournaments. Some schools were granted exceptions with the support of tribes, such as the Florida State Seminoles.
The museum plans to explore the roots of Indian imagery in sports and elsewhere in American life. Gover said he's been thinking about the debate over such mascots since he was 15, attending junior high school in Norman, Okla., when the University of Oklahoma had a mascot called "Little Red" who would dance after the Sooners scored a touchdown. The university was among the first to abandon that mascot. Other prominent changes were made at Stanford University and Dartmouth.
"There's actually a long tradition in American life of 'playing Indian,' of pretending to be an Indian," Gover said.
In the nation's early years, fraternal organizations were formed around made-up Indian rituals and ceremonies in many Eastern cities, he said. In the 20th century, he said, the focus shifted to the theory that the Indians were on their way to extinction and "we're going to assert the right to represent who they were."
Professional sports teams using Native American names and imagery emerged around that time. The Washington Redskins were originally the Boston Braves, but owner George Preston Marshall changed the name in 1933 to avoid confusion with a local baseball team. The team moved to Washington four years later.
Manley Begay of the Navajo Nation, a professor of American Indian studies at the University of Arizona, said many people are surprised the stereotypical imagery is considered derogatory and racist. "It's very hard for someone to come to that realization," he said.
The lead plaintiff in the original case against the Washington Redskins said more team names will change over time. Suzan Shown Harjo, the president of the Washington-based Morning Star Institute, an advocacy group, said it was important to hold this discussion at the Smithsonian.
"The museum we have built is one of the places that these names and the symbology and the mascots and the paraphernalia need to be retired to," she said. "They need to be consigned to the history books and to museums."

Moviegoers gave the box office record-breaking revenues over Thanksgiving weekend in the US, with movies like "Skyfall," and "Lincoln" taking in $290 million for the period from Wednesday through Sunday. The previous record of $270.5 was set in 2009, according to The Hollywood Reporter, when "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" led the box office. The Associated Press reported that "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2" took the No. 1 spot again, earning $64 million over Thanksgiving weekend. The latest installment of Bond, "Skyfall," took in $51 million and took the No. 2 spot, while Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" earned $34.1 million coming in third place. More on GlobalPost: France: Carla Bruni-Sarkozy throws her (slender) weight behind gay rights bill "Rise of the Guardians," a family friendly movie about mythical figures like Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy, earned $24 million in its first weekend, while Ang Lee's "Life of Pi" took in $22 million on its debut, according to The Wall Street Journal. The AP noted that this Thanksgiving was a 25 percent gain over last year, when the box office took in only $232 million. Box office numbers for 2012 are on track for revenues to hit $11 billion, according to Hollywood.com analyst Paul Dergarabedian. "We're barreling toward a record-breaking box-office year," he said.

Dear OJSkyper,
Thank you for your review on Tripadvisor.
We're happy to see you had a pleasant stay here with us and enjoyed the room, breakfast and service.
The shower is as you mention water-saver and should be one of the best of the type, and I'm sorry that you were disappointed of the result of it.
About the milk in a can, this weekend was a competition for youngsters in cross-country, biathlon and nordic combined arranged here in town. We had a lot of people staying at our hotel due this and we changed a bit on the breakfast because of that. Usually we serve milk in containers as all other Norwegian hotels :-).
We hope to welcome you back in not to long! :-) Until then we wish you a nice time! :-)

Did you know that you do not have to pay for a library card? A lot of people don't realize that.
If you live in the CCRLS district, but not within a city that has a library or other library district, you can still get free library service at any public library within the CCRLS district. Based on the library tax that everyone in the district pays, everyone can get a Basic library card at no cost. This will allow you to check out one book and place one hold at a time, and you have access to Library2Go eBooks and most online services.
Children and teens through high school get even more with the CARE card, up to 25 items at a time.
You may opt to purchase a full family membership for $60 annually which gives full privilege to the entire family, but this is not required in order to use the libraries.

Special Correspondent
NEW DELHI: Aqeel Khan of Pakistan won the ITF Satellite tennis circuit as he made the semifinals of the Masters event with a 6-7(10), 6-2, 6-4 victory over Ashutosh Singh at the DLTA Complex here on Wednesday.
With the hard-earned victory Aqeel took his points tally in the circuit to an unbeatable 58 and thus assured himself of the eight ATP bonus points earmarked for the champion of the circuit.
Second triumph
It was the second Satellite triumph for the 26-year-old Aqeel who had won a similar circuit back home in Pakistan in 2004.
The top-seeded Aqeel played with considerable resolve after having lost the first set from a position of strength when he held as many as four set points.
In contrast, the talented Ashutosh could not ride on the momentum as his game tended to dip alarmingly. The 23-year-old local lad was broken thrice in the second set, but was in control when he took a 2-0 lead in the decider with a break in the second game.
However, Ashutosh lost his way as he got broken in the third and fifth games. He did save a match point but buried a backhand into the net on the second match point to put an end to a gripping contest that spanned two hours and 40 minutes.
Ashutosh collected $200 for his quarterfinals appearance and added nine ATP points to his kitty.
Aditya Madkekar, who eased past the third seed Vijay Kannan, will be up against Aqeel.
The champion of the third leg, Divij Sharan beat Vivek Shokeen in straight sets. Divij will meet Navdeep Singh in the semifinals. Divij and Navdeep made the doubles final as well and put themselves in line for winning the circuit, especially after the elimination of Mustafa Ghouse and Pathanjali Ravishankar.
The results: Singles (quarterfinals): Aqeel Khan (Pak) bt Ashutosh Singh 6-7(10), 6-2, 6-4; Aditya Madkekar bt Vijay Kannan 6-3, 6-4; Divij Sharan bt Vivek Shokeen 6-4, 7-5; Navdeep Singh bt Jeevan Nedunchezhiyan 3-6, 6-3, 6-1. Doubles (semifinals): Aqeel Khan (Pak)/ Punna Vishal bt Mustafa Ghouse/ Pathanjali Ravishankar 7-6(3), 6-2; Divij Sharan/ Navdeep Singh bt Vijay Kannan/ Ashutosh Singh 7-6(3), 7-6(5).

Too many animals still suffering at humankind's hand
It's easy to get lulled into a sense of false security when it comes to animal welfare. Sure, we all know there are stray and feral cats that suffer in the elements, and far too many pets being killed in public shelters, but if we think about it, it would seem that with all of the volunteer groups and dedicated people, that we're doing a pretty good job when it comes to our animal friends.

So I'm new to programming but I'm managed to create the groundwork for an iPhone app.
Problem is, when I run it on the iPhone simulator, it first shows up as a white/blank screen (with the status bar at the top) until I hit the home button. When it is doing the minimization animation (~0.5 second) the app will display correctly.
I know that an issue with versions could be the cause of this but I'd need to buy a newer Mac to upgrade to the latest version of Xcode. If there are other issues that could be causing this I'd love to know
thanks :)

This post is by ClimateProgress guest blogger Kari Manlove, fellows assistant at the Center for American Progress. ----- The fact that our country has a National Environmental Policy Act means we should have a national environmental policy, and any national environmental policy is bound to take into consideration global warming, right? Wrong on two counts. The U.S. is sorely lacking an updated environmental policy. It's been over a decade and counting. With the EPA as example, and based on its condition as of late (see here and here), the climate's looking grim. As for a cohesive national policy that takes into account global warming's causes and impacts? Think again. States have been infinitely more active than our federal government (and we thank them).

Goldman Sachs' Arjun N. Murti said this in a May 5 report: The possibility of $150-$200 per barrel seems increasingly likely over the next 6-24 months, though predicting the ultimate peak in oil prices as well as the remaining duration of the upcycle remains a major uncertainty. That would mean gasoline prices of $5 to $6 a gallon. Unless, of course, we permanently suspend the gasoline tax, in which case gasoline prices would only be $5 to $6 a gallon. Why should we listen to Murti? Well, back in 2005, when prices averaged under $60 a barrel, he was one of the few Wall Street analysts who predicted oil could soon hit $105 a barrel -- or higher if we don't take the right actions quickly:
Has the oil industry borrowed the (laughable) tagline of presidential candidate John McCain? As Fox Business reported last Friday: The American Petroleum Institute took out a full-page ad in USA Today, and other major media were tapped this week to provide "straight talk on earnings." The earnings that need "straight talk": ExxonMobil's $11 billion quarterly profit, and Chevron's $5.2 billion quarterly profit. (Note to Big Oil: When Fox doesn't give your spin favorable coverage, you've definitely become the Britney Spears of industries.)

A livable climate can (probably) survive the burning of almost all of the world's conventional oil and gas -- but not if we also burn even half the coal (see here [PDF] and figure below). So the top priority for any climate policy must be to stop the building of traditional coal plants -- which is why that has become the top priority of NASA's James Hansen (see here). The next priority is to replace existing coal plants with carbon-free power, which could include coal with carbon capture and storage (CCS), as fast as possible. And that means a related priority is to encourage the introduction of CCS as quickly as possible, to see if that is a viable large-scale solution. A climate policy that does not start by achieving at least the first goal, a moratorium on coal without CCS, must be labeled a failure. By that measure, the cap-and-trade system currently being employed by the Europeans looks to be a failure, as we'll see.
I can't decide if this is horribly crass or effing genius, or both:

So an industry CEO tells E&E News that nuclear is the only non-carbon baseload power (not!) and that therefore nuclear is our only future and since the United States does such a great job of dealing with low-level radioactive waste, we should become the world's repository.

Why shouldn't we take the world's low-level radioactive waste? asks Creamer. Other countries take our recycled computers [!], so it's the perfect division of global labor:

Here we go...The Woodlands, Texas
Up front, sorry for the long post.
After much thought and consideration...and seven pool bids...we have signed to start our new pool. By new pool, I mean first pool. I found this forum more than a year ago and have soaked in as much as possible. I am also a regular lurker at troublefreepool so I hope that helps prepare us.
We are located just north of Houston and look forward to enjoying our pool this summer. It looks like things will kick off March 7th.
Just wanted to let the board know since I will be bombarding you with pictures and questions once the build starts!
From what I have handy on my computer, here are our specs:
36� x 23� x approx. 14�
Depth � 3- 7�
Spa 7� raised 12"
Perimeter � 108�
2 individually plumbed skimmers
2" suction main drains - 4 pool, 2 spa
Lights: 2 - 300 watt pool, 1 - 100 watt spa
Heater - Jandy 400000 btu heater
Polaris 280
4 ton flagstone waterfall
Sunshelf, Bench
700 sq� deck � peagravel with flagstone inlay (with the now famous Texas star)
Filter � 580 cartridge
Pumps � 2 + 2 Jandy
You can probably guess the builder...we have dealt with the designer thus far and have had a wonderful experience.
Any questions I need to ask? I am super nervous...
Oh Lord, Kelly...Just ask your wonderful designer about the client that emails with random questions!
I look forward to meeting you, as your reputation on this board and in the community helped make our decision. According to the last email I got, we are now a go for March 9. We moved all of the plants we wanted to save this past weekend, include a huge crepe myrtle so y'all could get in our gate (ouch!). Look forward to working with you!
(If you want to warn J., I am emailing a question tomorrow about capping off sprinklers in the back yard.)
Plumbing was done in the last two days (pics to follow soon). Our yard is a mess...plus out of internet and cable after a line was cut. So, for you veterans...what's next? I am a bit of a control freak, so being out of control is freaking me out somewhat.
Oh, and now I know why people get frustrated with watering the gunite. It has only been there four days, but it seems like FO'EVA!(my stylish boots and sweatpants ensemble for the morning watering was epic...had anyone seen it.)
Things are taking more shape now. Let's hope we made good decisions...I think/hope it will all look nice when the package is complete. No real hiccups or anything. Lots and lots of dirt tracked through the house thanks to the dog. He hasn't learned to stop and wipe his feet. The husband caught on...
Guys hard at work
Waterfall is taking shape
That is a Kelly question...I am not well versed in the specifications. I will let you know what I hear back.
The rest of the waterfall was put together today. It was super warm here in the AM and then cooled off right after noon...kudos on those guys for working through the humidity that has already hit us in SE TX. They were finished by the time temps cooled.
The tile is great! Did they have to make lots of cuts for the radiuses? Doesn't look like it.
My math/geometry stinks but it appears that the majority of the tiles are 3X6 which would make going around the radiuses easier. But there are still some 6" wide tiles there, too. So, yes please...name of tile and if there are lots of cuts. Thanks and congrats on a beautiful pool.
Scott, I didn't call Kelly today as I worked a tradeshow all day and just got home. Maybe he'll see this...if not, I will call him tomorrow.
It is Master Tile, Random 103. Master Tile titles it "green random" but it is very taupe and blue. I can't really answer the cut question, the tile comes with the three pieces in 6x6 squares with a webbing type backing. The craftsmen install them...I don't know how to say but... parallel, perpendicular, parallel, etc. Meaning every second one is the same way.
We are going with the Pebble Tec Caribbean Blue.
It seems the GW admins have mistaken Kelly as a spammer and don't realize how important to this forum he is. I am forwarding an answer he wanted to send last night:
Begin Forwarded Message:
The coping is Oklahoma Wister, it's a lot of earthtone multicolors.
My heart really breaks for her turn and my other customers too.
I started her pool 4 weeks ago to the day tomorrow and I haven't even got my
decks poured yet. Jeez am I ever sucking wind on my projects.
17 new excavations and another one for tomorrow for a Saturday gunite in the
past 7 weeks has had me running on the ragged edge.
Trust me on this, I ain't complaining but I got my butt chewed out today by a
housewife because we took 5 1/2 weeks from dig to plaster. We built two of her
girlfriends pools in less than 4 weeks start to finish and she didn't give a
spit when I told her what my workload has been.
Here's her quote "I don't give a dam about your other jobs, I want mine cleaned
up now, you've been in my back yard entirely to long"
She got furious when I lightly laughed and said "Your on a great turn, I'm
certain Jan told you that we'd be 6 to 8 weeks due to the high volume of fresh
starts. I'm sorry for the inconvenience but I really don't see your cleanup
coming until the first of next week"
She'd of made a Marine Corps Gunny Sgt cringe with the profanities that followed
when I started walking for the gate. I've never seen such unbecoming behavior
and vocabulary come from a lady before in my lifetime of constructing pools.
After leaving I called Hubby at work and told him that if she addressed me in
this manner again she'd find out just how quickly I can dispatch my crews to
jobsites where we were appreciated by our customers and that I'm digging 4 pools
next week so if she wants any chance of me sending a crew her way next week for
a cleanup
she should just accept the fact that were very busy right now.
Woodlands TX, don't give up on us, I've got a 2500 sq/ft stamped and patterned
pool deck to pour that we're setting up tomorrow and Friday and hope to pour on
Saturday. Yours is next in line after theirs. I'd be tickled to see your deck
get poured Tuesday or Wednesday of next week and be ready for PebbleTec by the
end of the week.
Note to all readers,
I want you guys and girls to know that it's indeed been a pleasure interacting
with y'all but I guess I'm at the end of the line.
Trust me, I've NEVER SPAMMED you guys for work, I've always generated plenty of
work on my own, and I've been deeply grateful for the many many members here who
have signed with me due to my interaction on the forum answering your questions.
It's truly quite a shame the way this site has come down on me, I always thought
I was a valuable contributor of swimming pool construction industry insight into
the pool/spa forum of Gardenweb. I guess I was wrong.
See ya,
I know Kelly won't see this (at least not right now) but we're not concerned about the progress. It has been an easy process thus far and we were kept in the loop about our number in line. Sorry some other customers didn't listen to actual time frame thing.
Thanks for the comment on the coping! I was so nervous picking all of these components...overwhelmed maybe.
I really appreciate this forum and the information I obtain through reading everyone's posts.
He'll see it. Until GW corrects their error, He is more than welcome to continue through me as his proxy until then.
I am fairly confident that the key contributors will also chime in. I don't think the GW powers that be would want to this ad revenue generator cease because those that generously donate their time and experience move to different forums, taking the viewing public with them.
Nice looking build.
That tile is great. I used it last year, only the black and beige version. Crazy thing is the way its placed on the mesh. You CANT screw up the pattern. When you split the 12" sheet and lay your 6" band together, no matter how you turn it, the pattern remains. Glad I didnt have to figure out the symmetry on that one! LOL
Nice pool!
I really like your tile choice and how your moss rock is laid without tile under it. Had i known in '08 that this was an option, I would have gone the route you did. Instead, I have a tile I do not like, much less love, because it goes so well under the moss rocks and ties it in together. A tile like yours would have been my choice.
Looks beautiful. Congratulations! I'm sure you are enjoying it with this wonderful TX heat we are enjoying. With 30K gal, ours is cool by the drains. It's tepid other than that.
Ack! I haven't posted in so long...I will try to get some completed pictures up this afternoon. We have really enjoyed having the pool this summer, so we've been in it most afternoon/evenings.
We went with Caribbean Blue PebbleTec. The water is really a beautiful shade of blue now. It took a few days after the fill to get it less green... We also added the shells to the PebbleTec and they sparkle in the sun. Pretty nifty.
Below are some pictures...they were all taken with phone or IPAD, so forgive the quality. I took some just this morning, those are the ones when the pool is completely off.
The tile doesn't make the water look green at all. Even though the tile name is Random Green, they are blueish and brownish. Our builder had the samples so we saw it in person prior to ordering and it was mighty blue to me.
I'll get some with the waterfall on today...
Here are the pics:

CHICAGO (AP) — On the eve of the 2012 elections, The Associated Press interviewed dozens of Americans to try to gauge the economic mood of the nation. People were asked about jobs, housing, gas prices, retirement and other issues. Among them were a Chicago couple: Adrienne Cragnotti, 46, and Mike Eiler, 41. She's a self-employed photographer; he's an unemployed former copy editor. Despite career setbacks and a declining living standard, Cragnotti and Eiler remain optimistic.
Job market frustrations are the one gray cloud hanging over Cragnotti and Eiler's adventuresome life together.
The couple dealt with Eiler's layoff from a Colorado Springs newspaper last December by indulging in diversions they lacked time for when they were working.
They fixed up and sold their century-old house in Colorado, went camping around the West in a vintage travel trailer and visited friends.
Then in July, they moved to Chicago, a city they'd always wanted to live in. Ditching most belongings, they rented a 350-square-foot studio apartment in the city's upscale Lincoln Park neighborhood and moved in with their two cats.
But the tightening squeeze of long-term unemployment threatens their future, as it does for many other Americans. More than 5 million people have been out of work for six months or more, up from 2.7 million when President Barack Obama took office.
Eiler, who worked as a copy editor, has been job-hunting unsuccessfully for nearly a year. He has found few suitable job openings in journalism or related fields — and heavier competition than he expected.
Cragnotti brings home only limited pay from her photography and modest rental income from a house she owns in Los Angeles. Demand for the glamour photography she specializes in has dropped. So she is branching out to different kinds of photography in search of more income.

Singed's poison is friggen love.
If love was constant, horribly health-rending spew of various unpronouncable chemicals.
WHICH IT IS. Zing.
It's annoying as ****, that's what it is.
Never once died to or lost much health to poison as far as I can recall, granted there aren't a lot of good Singed players running around. I play him a fair bit and usually level poison last. Adhesive and fling are just great, and adhesive has IMHO the best level scaling so I max it first.

Product description
Inspired during a trip to Rome to write a work that would come to define a large portion of his life, Gibbon proceeded to write one of the most ambitious histories in the English language. "The History" is an epic narrative, comprised of six volumes, that covers thirteen centuries of Roman history. Beginning after Marcus Aurelius in 180 and concluding in 1453, Gibbon provides both the broad pattern and the illuminating details of this time period, covering an enormous number of characters and topics with insightful precision. The general objective of this history is to mark the gradual fall of the Roman Empire, stating many reasons for Rome's decay, from political decisions to religious behavior. Published between 1776 and 1788, "The History" has all of the detached irony and objective quality of eighteenth century prose, and it is additionally praised for its extensive and accurate use of reference materials. Gibbon's use of citations became the precursor to today's footnotes, providing entertaining commentary on both ancient Rome and the Great Britain of his own time. Now called the 'modern historian of ancient Rome, ' Gibbon's bold work has become the model of most modern historians. Contained here is volume II of VI, representing chapters XVI through XXVI and is extensively annotated by H. H. Milman.

I thought NHA brought very good subject matter experts to the table. We leveraged them to help us implement and use an inbound order entry interface.
Clients & Testimonials
When our attempts to implement and roll out CPOE failed, we turned to NHA. We did not consider other vendors. We had used NHA resources during our conversion to MEDITECH C/S Enterprise Medical Record 6.0, and we wanted someone that was familiar with how things had been set up in our system. The resource was able to hit the ground running. She worked closely with my IT staff members and the physicians to coordinate the implementation, training, and rollout. And the NHA executive assigned to our account followed up with us often to make sure we were happy with how things were going. Overall, the resource did a fantastic job with bringing CPOE live. All of our physicians and surgeons are doing CPOE now, and our meaningful use Stage 2 attestation has finally been filed. We could not be happier with the services provided by NHA.
The Navin, Haffty & Associates people communicated well with us and kept us in the loop of what was going on. I always say that the mark of a really good project manager is someone who tells us the truth even if it is hard to hear. Navin, Haffty & Associates communicated the real problems and what really needed to be done. The project and our timeline were daunting, and yet Navin, Haffty & Associates did a great job of keeping things moving.
We have worked with Navin, Haffty & Associates for quite some time now, and the reason I like working with them more than any other services firm is that when I articulate a need, they can always get me the right people with the right skill sets, whether I need someone for leadership, project management, application support, or analysis. They are always able to send me someone that not only has the skill set I need but is also a good match for our organization and our needs.
Navin, Haffty & Associates is very easy to work with. They are flexible and adaptable to our needs. There have been times when we have maybe signed a contract for something that has turned out to exceed our budget or not fit exactly what we expected or needed, and they have been willing to work with us on price and terms to make sure we get the most value out of their consultants. There have even been times when we thought we had a specific need and we got a consultant from Navin, Haffty & Associates to fill that need, and then the consultant has realized that we actually needed something else and has helped us work with the vendor to find someone that fit us better.
Our consultants from Navin, Haffty & Associates have produced incredible value for our organization. We have kept them around longer than planned because of the value they continue to create.
The raw intelligence of Navin, Haffty & Associates is incredible. Their ability to work with people is unlike most of what I have seen. Their ability to forecast issues and resolve them is fantastic. They are deep thinkers and broad thinkers. They know MEDITECH inside and out, and in some cases, they know MEDITECH better than MEDITECH does. They have been resources that we would have been hard-pressed to live without. If I were ever to do another MEDITECH implementation anytime in my life, I would have to do it with Navin, Haffty & Associates. This is the only way I would be assured of a successful outcome.
The person NHA provided to us was very competent and became part of our team as if he were one of our own employees. He was very hard working. I think the consultants that NHA provides have a wealth of knowledge and experience.
We recently had a Navin, Haffty & Associates consultant here to help us with some planning around meaningful use. For the most part, we have just had this single resource, but for a while, we also brought in additional resources for some go-live expertise to help our physicians around the clock. Both this single resource and the team of people that came on-site for go-live support have been wonderful. We always get very high-quality people from Navin, Haffty & Associates. The firm just feels like a really good fit for our organization. Their culture matches ours, and they are dedicated, responsive, and customer oriented. They are just an easy group to deal with.
Our relationship with NHA has been outstanding. We have never had a bad experience with any consultant they have brought in. NHA is an outstanding firm. It is basically my go-to firm for anything MEDITECH. NHA has great people. It is an outstanding company to deal with and has great leadership.
There is no one better than Navin, Haffty & Associates for MEDITECH products. They really know all of the materials in that space. They kept the implementation rolling for me. John Haffty was in contact with us on a regular basis. When we needed additional resources, getting those from Navin, Haffty & Associates was never a problem. We also kept the project under budget. I think that Navin, Haffty & Associates is a well-organized organization. I think that every vendor has room to improve on communication, and Navin, Haffty & Associates is no exception, but overall, they did very well.
We are very happy with Navin, Haffty & Associates' work and support. Their last resource did a great job. He was a Johnny-on-the-spot. He would happily help us out with anything we needed, like teaching people how to use the patient portal. He was very versatile and willing to do that. He got along well with the team.
NHA is always very responsive to our requests for consultants. All consulting is expensive, but NHA really tries hard to supply us with local resources so they can actually drive to our site instead of flying in and getting here late on Monday and then leaving on Thursday. I feel like this enhances our productivity and enables us to reduce the expenses of the engagement.
We had pretty much the full gamut of consultants. We had professionals for pharmacy, medical records, and revenue cycle. The revenue cycle professional was outstanding. We had a physician representative, and we also had a nursing person from NHA. And we had another person who knew order sets and things like that. A lot of the consultants had actually done work in hospitals before, and that was great because they understood the clinical side as well as the IT side.
The president of NHA is very involved in the customer needs and in obtaining the appropriate resources. When I need a consultant, I am able to contact John Haffty directly, and he will send me résumés. He is very interested in getting the right person for the client's needs, and he is very timely. NHA's rates are very competitive and are lower than those of most firms, but the quality of their people is good. Also, NHA keeps the promises they make.
MEDITECH is certifying the consulting firms to be competent in and to follow their new implementation process, and Navin, Haffty & Associates was the first firm to be certified. When we were searching for a firm, they were the only one that had been certified, so they were the only choice we had. That being said, they have been an excellent partner and have done very well with the new process. They helped MEDITECH develop the process and were the coauthors of it.
I think Navin, Haffty & Associates shares their best-practice knowledge base in a constructive way to help develop the strategic plan for an organization. I think that is important to them. I think that their client relations are excellent. I would say those two things are important.
What I have been most impressed with is that on the higher administrative level, Navin, Haffty & Associates are helpful with the strategic planning. Their regional manager and colleagues have been very helpful. I think their ability to strategize and generally plan is a great asset.
We use Navin, Haffty & Associates for understanding how our system interfaces with some of our different systems. Our representative understands exactly how that was supposed to work. She understands reimbursements in contracts and how to calculate them based on different positions and so on. She can take an agreement, read it, and understand what needs to be done systemically to implement that agreement. Those are primarily the things I am using Navin, Haffty & Associates for. We do have other situations where things aren't making sense, and she can help us dig into the background and find issues that aren't related to the writing of contracts or payment. She provides a thorough understanding of how everything ties together within the system and within the different modules, as well as how the system ties to other outside systems.
I am very pleased with what Navin, Haffty & Associates does. I actually ended up with them because years ago I dealt with an individual who did consulting. When I reached out to her again, I found that she actually networked for Navin, Haffty & Associates. So all of my services are because Navin, Haffty & Associates has hired this woman. She is fully knowledgeable about everything we need to know and beyond. Navin, Haffty & Associates is very knowledgeable about everything I need them for. They are above and beyond any of the number of systems we use them for.
We brought our consultant in to help with our move to a new system version. She was just supposed to help where we needed her to, but she ended up taking on a lot of responsibility and leadership for the project. Her organizational skills were tremendous. She could hold meetings and was always so well prepared. She had spreadsheets and issue logs for us, and she communicated well about what needed to be done, and that was outstanding. She was excellent.
Our project with Navin Haffty & Associates went extremely well. I have nothing but great things to say about them. I have never gotten a resource that has not worked out really well. They are always very knowledgeable in the module we specify. We have had the best experience with them. They are my go-to source when I need a resource. Their people are self-starters and don't need a lot of guidance. They hit the ground running, and we appreciate that.
The vendor's communication is really good; they always assign a person to be in touch with me regarding an individual's performance. They set up meetings to ensure that everything is going okay.
Navin, Haffty & Associates has done a good job for me, and they don't seem to overcharge. When I get a quote from them, it's usually a good quote. It's not a lowball figure that they start with that means I end up spending a whole bunch of money later.
Navin, Haffty & Associates avoided nickel-and-diming us. They ended up putting in extra hours, and those never showed up on an invoice. The consultants went above and beyond.
We brought in Navin, Haffty & Associates specifically because of their MEDITECH experience. That was definitely a huge selling point. The people at Navin, Haffty & Associates have deep MEDITECH skills, experience, and knowledge. That was really why we went with them. Navin, Haffty & Associates was not the cheapest option, but we did get what we paid for. I liked that when our resources couldn't resolve a particular issue, they had a network of other resources within their organization that they could reach out to. Their ability to network with people with all different sorts of skill sets was very helpful.
The individual NHA sent us for our meaningful use Stage 2 project was very knowledgeable and did a good job of providing us with a good assessment of where we were and whether we could succeed in the time frame we had. We did succeed, and we are now in the measurement period. We think we are in good shape.
We have used NHA for multiple projects. The first was to help us with our MEDITECH nurse optimization. That project took a little over a year. Our overall experience with NHA has been very good; the projects have gone well. The person NHA placed here to do the nursing optimization and serve as the clinical informatics manager was an excellent manager and presented a good IT face to the physicians, medical staff, and nursing leadership. The nursing and medical leadership were very happy with that individual, and she was very high quality. She was very professional and thorough, and she provided good follow-through. Based on that experience, we would definitely use NHA again.
I liked Navin, Haffty. I had a chance to meet John Haffty, and the company gives me a good feeling. Haffty was personable and knew who I was so that was pretty impressive. Navin Haffty has good talent. We are going to look to them to help us in other areas like the patient portal and nomenclature mappings.
Navin, Haffty & Associates has been excellent. Their people are top notch, and their MEDITECH experience is unusual to find. I have used them for several years now, and to be quiet honest, I wouldn't use another vendor. I would be hesitant to because of how difficult it would be to find people that understand that level of detail. I think NHA is great!
NHA has provided nothing but excellent service. I have always had access to Mr. Haffty and have had the opportunity to discuss many things with him. Below the executive level, our support team from NHA has been consistently amazing in making sure we have everything we need.
NHA does a fantastic job. We have used them for many projects. They know and understand our clinical software, and therefore are able to help us manage it better. They are always prepared and have answers to our questions. They do their homework.
Navin, Haffty & Associates has a very strong technical skill set. They are very knowledgeable and very pleasant to work with. They are an extremely classy organization. They communicate very effectively. And we have not experienced any scope creep on any of the engagements that we have used them for.
Navin, Haffty & Associates has people on the project who kind of act like project managers. They are heavily involved in the project to make sure everything goes smoothly. We have also had people come in and kind of work as interim employees to do the day-to-day things and to do some planning and analysis on how to get us to where we need to be. Navin, Haffty & Associates has a lot of resources, and that is important to us. We haven't had a bad experience with them, and I attribute that to the way they manage their projects and then keep in touch with the customer even after a project is over.
NHA has been finding us a supplemental IS clinical staff because we have needed one for various projects. They seem able to find qualified people on short notice, and that is always the most important thing. They are very efficient and always seem to have qualified people ready to help.
I always know that I am getting knowledgeable people from Navin, Haffty & Associates. I get people who have been in the industry for a while. They know the product. It is also nice that we can give them something and they just take it and go with it. I don't have to sit there and explain what I need them to do. They take the initiative.
Navin, Haffty & Associates is very service oriented. I have clicked with them more so than I have with any other contracting company.
Navin, Haffty & Associates is very plugged in. There is follow-up, and the leadership knows exactly what is going on with their people. They have meetings with their on-site people and with us regularly. Their hands are never off the pulse.

So here's the story: 4-5 weeks ago I had a particularly ambitious day. I brewed a batch, bottled my IIPA and my bitter. For the IPA I did the standard 4oz of corn sugar. For the bitter(I don't have my notes in front of me with the exact measurements) I used some wheat DME and some table sugar.
Sanitized everything as usual. At that time the ambient temp was about 80 degrees, and 68 in the cooler parts of my house(where I was fermenting). So I figured, what the hell lets get this carbed up quickly, and stuck the beers in the garage where it easily gets 15 degrees hotter than the ambient temp.
Anyway, two weeks go by and we have some cooler nights and it gets to about 55 at night so I decide to move the carbing beers into the fermentation room, after they went through about 3 nights of this. At this time I tried a 12oz from each batch. The IIPA was almost totally carbed, and the bitter had a very very faint hiss. But no carbonation. 3 weeks since then and I'm half way through the IPA and the bitter has not changed at all. I should also add there's hardly any yeast in the bottles of bitter.
So what are my options? Currently I'm sitting them in a room by the heater keeping it a constant 70F. I need a contingency plan though, suggestions?
Primary:Farmhouse Triple, Simcoe Session IPA, 100% Brett Brux IPA
Conditioning: Willamette English Pale Ale
If you got a faint hiss, your beer is carbonating. The amounts of DME/sugar used are relevant, so you'll want to figure out what those are to troubleshoot. If you carbed to style (i.e., very low), you probably just haven't given the things enough time yet. There's plenty of yeast in there.
"Be excellent to each other." -Benjamin Franklin
For 2 weeks the beer was at a temperature colder than it should have been so you lost 2 weeks of time. DME takes longer as a primer because it is a complex sugar the yeast needs to break down and 3 weeks at 70 is the minimum amount of time recommended for priming.
Bigger beers will take longer as well. If there is a hiss it's carbonating and just needs more time so be patient and they'll get there
I'll find the measurements of priming sugar when I get home.
For the sake of clarity, the beer was not left at 55F for two weeks. Rather, it was brought to 55F for two nights while in the garage. The garage was atleast 70F during the day.
I've always heard DME takes longer; I've used it before three times and it hasn't taken anywhere near this long.
Time heals all wounds, so right now im letting it sit at 70F, and I'll try again in a few weeks.

2015 Acura TLX — upscale cousin of the Honda Accord
Change can be for the better – we learn something we didn't know – or it can be disaster when we think of what we gave up for this newfangled agent of change. Most of us are used to driving cars where the gearshift mechanism is pretty straightforward – either it's on the column or […] [Read More]

"It's nice," she says, "but I like the seats in the Equus better." Hmmm. A budding auto writer? Interesting point, though. The last luxo-barge […] [Read More]
2015 Honda Fit — it's still the Swiss Army knife of small cars
There are small cars and there are smaller cars and we know their good points and their bad ones. The upside: good on gas, small enough to park in tiny spaces, less expensive to buy. The downside: choppy ride, noisier, a more cramped feeling inside. Suffice to say, there are millions of them out there; […] [Read More]
2015 Dodge Challenger 6.4L Scat Pack — Seventies muscle car redux, especially the color.
So many cars out there in the jungle, just waiting to be trapped and taken home to your two-car garage. Sedate sedans, cute coupes, wagons and SUVs, all of them willing to work, and willing to give up a few niceties for the sake of fuel economy and all-around civility. Polite cars. Not this one.

2014 Lexus IS350 convertible — a hardtop in lieu of a ragtop
The hardtop convertible is a peculiar animal in the jungle of automobiles, a car that is neither here nor there, fish nor fowl.

2014 Lexus GS450h — a hybrid sports sedan
Where, exactly, does the 2014 Lexus GS450h fit into the larger scheme of things? The scheme of things, in this case, is the niche of expensive four-door sedans that straddle the middle of the luxury market. This is not the high-end, typified by the Lexus LS460 or the Benz S-550. By the same token, it's […] [Read More]
2014 Nissan Altima — a boon to the rental fleet, and an alternative to Camry and Accord.
In the much-ballyhooed midsize sedan segment – it's the most competitive slot in U.S. auto sales – it basically comes down to two cars, Toyota Camry and Honda Accord. For sure, there are the interlopers, such as VW Passat and the Hyundai Sonata/Kia Optima twins. But Toyota and Honda dominate. Enter Nissan. More specifically, enter […] [Read More]

New this year
I received my order from SESE yesterday
It included the following:
Southern peas
ROUGE ET NOIR[red and black]
I planted this one last year from a dif.source,and it did not germinate
I have 3 strains of RR and want to compare
Butter Beans
this is an unknown brown speckled small pole lima that that SESE received in error as Jackson Wonder
I do not know of a brown pole lima
Probably a Jackson Wonder cross
Has anyone grown any of these and what was the outcome
Piggott peas should be relatively large, grayish with speckles. They tend to grow in a compact clump with relatively short vines. The peas ripen within a short interval and then are gone. In other words, they are kind of like a determinate tomato, something you harvest and preserve and then they are gone. I recommend growing them in relatively poor soil, they do not do well if planted into richer soil. Cowpeas are very good at producing their own nitrogen, but definitely benefit from innoculation with the correct bacteria.
There seems to be a contoversy as to what is the true Pigott Pea and it's true spelling
The PIGGOTT PEA from SESE is brown
The one from S.C.Crop Imp. is reddish brown and spelled PIGGOTT PEA
The PIGOTT FAMILY from SANDHILL is also reddish brown
The discription in the year book over the years state that PIGOTT FAMILY HEIRLOOM is grey speckled tan
All state they originated in Washington Parish LA.
I guess they should e listed as sold

Charlie, I have grown several of the cowpeas. We all have different taste buds and those that I grew did not do well for me. Now the Jackson Wonder butter bean I grow a few of those each year. It is one of my favorite bush butter beans. The pink eye purple hull BVR cowpea can be used as a pole variety. I usually plant a few of those during the summer months.

A major tragedy was averted at Sanganer Airport near here on Sunday night when a New Delhi-bound Air India flight with 173 passengers and crew members on board made an emergency landing with its rear tyre burst and a wing-tip damaged. The passengers and crew members escaped unhurt.
The Imphal-Delhi flight No. AI-890 via Guwahati was diverted to Sanganer Airport because of poor visibility amid the dense fog conditions at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in the national capital. The aircraft's rear tyre burst in the process of landing, but the pilot managed to bring the plane to a halt in the middle of the runway.
Though there was commotion in the plane when it came to a halt with a jerk, all the passengers disembarked safely. They were sent to New Delhi by special buses. The schedule of over a dozen flights was disrupted because of the runway being blocked.

The North Atlantic right whale, Eubalaena glacialis, is among the most endangered of the world's large whales with an estimated population of approximately 500 individuals. Historically depleted by commercial whaling, ship strikes and fishing gear entanglements are now the largest threats to right whales. The coastal waters off Florida and Georgia are the only known calving area for North Atlantic right whales and these waters have been designated as right whale critical habitat by the National Marine Fisheries Service. Right whales are typically sighted off Florida between November and April.
