Preventable Error Reporting Hindered by Fear of Reprisal
Angood says the fear of retaliation is also rooted in the traditional risk management models that hospitals have used for years.
"Risk management programs in hospitals historically have been oriented to protect the hospital from legal action. So in many places, not all, there is a fear from the administration and the risk management offices of receiving reports because it becomes discoverable information and the potential for legal liability," he says.
"Once that tone is set it doesn't take much for the workforce to recognize that reporting can be harmful for the institution. So they won't report."
Angood believes the fear of retaliation will wane in the long run as more physicians become hospital employees, "but we will probably go through a little dip and then move on to a projection of improvement."
"That dip will occur because the existing physician workforce and many in the non-physicians workforce are caught in the trap of fear of reporting and the pressure for models of care change," he says.
"As employed physicians get used to that, there will be an increased level of education and awareness on the benefits of tackling errors and safety problems head on with improved reporting. Other industries have recognized that good reporting strategy leads to improvements in quality and safety and employed physicians will gradually bring that forward in healthcare systems."

Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah speaks during a ceremony in Beirut's southern suburbs, Wednesday, Nov. 13, 2013. (The Daily Star/Hasan Shaaban)
BEIRUT: Hezbollah has reshuffled its press officers, appointing Mohammad Afif as the party's new media officer to replace Ibrahim Musawi.
Afif is known to be Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah's media adviser.
A report published Thursday by pro- Hezbollah newspaper Al-Akhbar said the decision was made by the party's Shura Council.
It said Afif had held the position of the party's media officer in the past before taking over the management of Al-Manar TV. Afif oversaw the coverage of the 2006 war with Israel, when Al-Manar's headquarters was leveled but the station kept on broadcasting from a secret location.
Former Hezbollah media relations officer Ibrahim Musawi has been appointed Al-Manar's deputy director, the report said.
Al-Akhbar said the reshuffling would also see changes in Al-Manar's news, political and resistance-related programs, particularly after merging ground and aerial transmission.
Earlier this year, Al-Manar's Director General Abdallah Qassir left his position earlier this year after a public apology for the TV's coverage of the Bahraini anti-government protests, an apology that was disavowed by Hezbollah. Qassir was replaced by Ibrahim Farhat.
This story originally stated that Mohammad Afif had been appointed as Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah's media adviser. He was appointed as the media officer for Hezbollah.

Having fluffed one campus civil rights issue — race-based preferences in admissions — President Bush now faces what I would have thought is a more politically difficult one — "gender-equity" in college athletics, as called for by Title IX. Bush established an advisory commission to consider whether colleges should get some relief from the quota system that the Clinton Department of Education sought to enforce, under which a school's male-female athlete ratio is expected to be "substantially proportionate" to its male-female enrollment. Such an expectation is silly, at least absent evidence that male and female interest in participating in intercollegiate sports is equal. And the quota approach has resulted in the elimination of many male sports programs, including 400 men's college wrestling teams.
The Washington Post reports that President Bush's commission deadlocked on a proposal recommending altering the "proportionality" standard, and voted overwhelmingly not to eliminate that standard altogether. It also voted down a proposal to use "interest surveys" to set the proportionality standard at a given college. Having declined to recommend any real reform, the group is now focusing on such monumental issues as how the bean-counters should treat male "walk-ons" (i.e, non-scholarship students who are able to make a sports team, like Rudy at Notre Dame), and part-time students.
As far as I can tell, my solution never made it to the table. Rather than requiring colleges to prove compliance to federal bureaucrats at all, I believe that colleges should be allowed to run their athletic departments as they see fit, until it is proven that real-live students of one gender who genuinely want to play intercollegiate sports have less of an opportunity, as a group, to do so than similarly situated students of the opposite gender.

A patient tried to escape police custody while at Froedtert Hospital, leading to a search of surrounding residential neighborhoods last week.
According to the Wauwatosa police report:
A 31-year-old Oak Creek man who was wanted on multiple warrants and had a history of weapons violations and being assaultive to police had been brought to Froedtert Hospital for medical clearance following an arrest by West Milwaukee police July 3.
About 7:30 p.m., the prisoner took off from the emergency room and ran through the alley on Robertson Street near Gridley Avenue. Wauwatosa police were called to assist the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office with the manhunt.
The police dog pulled its handler through the gate to a backyard in the 8300 block of West Portland Avenue. The prisoner - who was given two warnings to come out or the dog would be released - surrendered.

"As an athlete you give up so much but on a day like today, it's so worth it," she added.
Yarnold added that she wanted to "show the world" she was capable of winning the gold medal.

How Kai the Hatchet Hitchhiker Proves We Would Embrace a Real Life Dexter
Update: I've been hearing about this story for two weeks now, and never once did I figure out that the guy Kai attacked didn't actually die. I just heard "hatchet to the head," and drew my own conclusions. I suppose that negates nearly all of what I say here in this post, but feel free to read anyway.
By now many of you have heard about the story of Kai, the hitchhiker made famous on YouTube after an act of heroism. You can watch the famed video here, or I'll just briefly explain the scenario.
Kai is a homeless (or home-free, as he says) hitchhiker who talks like every stoned surfer you've ever imagined times twenty. His laid back life had him catch a ride from a stranger one day who happened to be rather crazy. The man said he was Jesus, and to demonstrate that, rammed his car into the first pedestrian he could find.
Afterward, he jumped out of the car and proceeded to attack two women. Kai thought this was very un-chill of him, so he proceed to run up behind the guy and BEAT HIM TO DEATH WITH A HATCHET.
The local news showed up to interview him, and the rest is history. This was like if Antoine Dodson had shot the guy in the face who trying to rape his sister. A refresher if you don't get that reference.
Much like everyone, I laughed at Kai's odd personality and applauded him for stepping in to do what he could. It wasn't until I saw that Jimmy Kimmel tracked him down and brought him onto his show for a bizarre interview that I started thinking about the deeper implications of Kai.
They talked about his life philosophy, the incident itself, and how Kai gave away money Kimmel gave him for being at the show. In the end, they wrap up the segment by giving Kai a wetsuit and surfboard, something he wished for during his initial interview.
I'm not here to talk about Kai as a person. From what I can tell, he's a fun-loving dude who may or may not be completely insane after years of heavy drug abuse.
Rather, it's just that this seems like one of the first times that we're making a national hero out of someone who killed someone else, vigilante style. We applaud those kinds of people who have thrown themselves in front of bullets during horrific mass shootings, but this is something else. This is a guy who is now famous for hacking someone to death with a hatchet. He's on Jimmy Kimmel.
I'm not saying what Kai did is wrong. It's the most obvious kind of right. It just got me thinking about how we've celebrated fictional vigilantism for so long, that it's odd when it finally happens in real life. The most obvious example that comes to mind would be a Dexter, a show about a heroic serial killer, which by all accounts, should be an oxymoron.
But it isn't. Dexter is a killer of killers, which is why the audience has no trouble rooting for him. But his actions are illegal on the show, and he's constantly in fear of someone finding out his dirty secret.
The way we're treating Kai, however, indicates we might actually embrace a Dexter-type figure in society at large. Dexter operates in a legal black hole, what he's doing is obviously illegal, but not a moral one to many who believe in the "eye for an eye" school of justice.
Interestingly, if Dexter went the Kai path, and happened to show up whenever his killers were about to murder someone, he could beat them all to death with a hatchet, and it would be him we'd be interviewing on the local news.
I suppose there are other examples of this is pop culture. Before Dexter there were the Boondock Saints whose famous mantra was "Do not kill, do not rape, do not steal." Any of the above and you might find the silenced barrel of a pistol pointed at your forehead. Unlike Dexter, they simply went into criminal dens, guns blazing, which is a bit of a riskier move. The movie ends with the news interviewing citizens on whether or not they think that the Saints are good or evil.
It's just strange when a concept immortalized in TV and films for so long finally happens in real life. I had flashes of Dexter on Kimmel, talking about his code and knife collection. But the reality? Kimmel and Kai laughing it up, all because of a stoner split a crazy man's skull open with a hatchet.
"How come nobody's ever tried to be a superhero?" Kick-Ass asks. With the way Kai is being celebrated, maybe more will start.

Wanted to mention this sorta documentary from HBO called Superheroes. http://www.hbo.com/documentaries/superheroes/index.html
As for a more broad view of vigilantism. You know those stories you see every once in awhile about someone getting killed cause the killer thought they were possessed, an alien, were satan… that is a form of vigilantism too. But it's clearly subjective. To them, they were doing the right thing. Yes, there are occasions where ordinary people are in the right place and the right time and do things they would never dream of doing and save a life. But the sort of people who seek this sort of thing out are not mentally healthy. The same goes for these people who think they need to be armed 24 hours a day because they have hero fantasies… these are not rational people. Ever played a video game and shot one of the innocent bystanders on accident? Yeah, exactly. And the video game player has the advantage of always knowing who the bad guys are. In the games, and like people tortured in 24, the bad guys are always guilty and dressed like bad guys. When you consider issues affecting perception such as racism for example, Trayvon Martin case, you realize how dangerous these people can be.
The reason we like Dexter is because the people he kills are always guilty. Jack Bauer never killed or tortured an innocent person. But real life is more complicated because you don't KNOW for sure who the bad guy is. It's not until later you realize that gun was a bag of skittles and maybe you have a predilection for being jumpy around people with skin color not like your own.
Also, I know people will think this is a bit of a stretch but it illustrates the subjectivity of vigilantism. This woman undoubtedly thinks of herself as a bit of a crusader for justice and all that is good. Yet it is precisely because of people like her and the environment they create that all these LGBT teenagers decide to end their lives.
# Frankon 13 Feb 2013 at 12:52 pm
From what I remember of the news report, nobody died during the incident. Kai did not beat the guy to death. I believe if anything he hit him with the back of his hatchet (not the blade).
# CJon 13 Feb 2013 at 1:04 pm
Frank is right, no one died, he didn't even incapacitate the attacker, just did enough to get him to stop attacking people, then waited for the police.

Agreed with Frank. Maybe I heard the story wrong, but it sounded like the back of the hatchet and I hadn't heard that anyone died.
# Michaelon 13 Feb 2013 at 1:05 pm
He didn't kill anyone.

You could almost just switch the name on the article to Christopher Dorner and it almost holds as true anyway. Every comment section about Dorner seems to be a 50/50 split of opinions back and forth. It says a lot, I think, that the american public is so split. I mean it was politically obvious for quite a while, but I never thought you could get half the population to see someone killing cops and turn them into a hero or martyr to a cause.
# the_dude_abideson 13 Feb 2013 at 2:42 pm
i dunno i could see Kai killing people. That being said dexters first season actually does address this in a way. Spoilers for the few on this site who have not seen dexter. At the end of season the last few moments dexter's voice over talks about how it would feel if he were to be seen as he truly is. Then comes a day dream of crowd of people cheering him on. The last lines go " yeah they see me. I'm one of them, in their darkest dreams" The show kinda broke the fourth wall with the crowed of people being us, the viewers cheering on and rooting for dexter. Because we are ok with this cause we can justify it , rationalize it possibly see ourselves do it. Dexter calls us out on it though by saying in your darkest dreams your like me. Dexter and possibly Kai are nothing new to the world we just take comfort in that they are not praying on us. To be both a serial killer and vigilantly requires the same detachment from what keeps the rest of us from not killing people. It means the same moral rules that apply to the rest of us dont apply to them.

haha I think Kai has a batman code. But seriously that interview was much less coherent than another one that I saw with him, I wonder what the difference was, this is a guy who can fluently speak three languages besides english, showed interesting insight into life and even claims to have attended a collage for a time.

It was a given that with time Chase Elliott would eventually break out and solidify his billing as NASCAR's newest superstar. What no one thought was that the 18-year-old's ascension would take all of seven races.
The first moment came two weeks ago when Elliott hunted down and passed Kevin Harvick for the Nationwide Series victory at Texas Motor Speedway. That alone would have cemented Elliott's reputation.
Next came the encore.
Last Friday at Darlington Raceway, NASCAR's oldest, most challenging speedway, Elliott did what no rookie is supposed to do: He won. The high school senior, who skipped his prom to dance with the Lady in Black, charged from sixth with two laps to go to take the lead, utilizing a skillful pass to seize the point from Elliott Sadler.
The triumph made Elliott the youngest two-time winner in Nationwide Series history. It also prompted the discussion of when the son of NASCAR legend Bill Elliott would take the next step in his career.
What that next step is, though, is far from clear.
"We haven't had those conversations yet," said Dale Earnhardt Jr., who co-owns Elliott's Nationwide team. "I don't think he needs to be focusing on that sort of thing right now. But I do think two years of Nationwide is the best for a driver."
Hendrick Motorsports holds Elliott's contract and considers him, rightfully, a significant part of the organization's future. The catch is that NASCAR limits how many cars an owner can have at one time, and with Earnhardt, Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon and Kasey Kahne already in house, the players would have to change to accommodate Elliott's arrival and that is where the uncertainty comes in.
Elliott has long been viewed as Jeff Gordon's heir apparent, a designation that seems all the more fitting considering the events of the past two weeks.
The great unknown in this equation is when Gordon, 42, will hang up his driving helmet. He said in January that if he won this year's championship he would step aside. Most thought the comments were made in jest, but the four-time champion clarified a month later that he was somewhat serious.
"If (another championship) happened, that would be all the reasons I need to say, 'This is it, I'm done. Go out on a high note,'" he said.
Gordon may be having a change of mind, having recently told Larry King he could see himself driving for another 10 years. Under this scenario, Elliott would no longer be Gordon's successor but his eventual Cup teammate, which means Hendrick would have to procure Elliott a ride by other means.
That avenue will not come at the expense of Johnson or Earnhardt, both of whom have long-term contracts. And though Kahne's contract is up at the end of 2015 and he's off to a slow start this season, it's hard to envision Hendrick jettisoning him considering Kahne has won four races and made the Chase each of the previous two years.
Due to the lack of opportunities Hendrick presents at the moment, one scenario oft mentioned is an elevation of Elliott's Nationwide team to Cup under the JR Motorsports umbrella.
Of all the potential options, this is the least likely for myriad reasons. Chief among them is that Earnhardt would have to cease driving for Hendrick, since NASCAR would otherwise view this as a way to circumvent the four-team cap. Then there is the desire factor to consider, as Earnhardt has spoken out against wanting to own a Cup team because of the commitment involved.
Working in Hendrick's favor is that due to Elliott's age there is no push to put the teenager in a Cup car immediately. Another year of Nationwide would be in the best interests for Elliott, who could continue to develop, and Hendrick, who can use the time to plan a long-term course of action -- whether that's seeing where Gordon stands on retirement or determining if Kahne should keep his seat in the No. 5 car.
In the meantime, expect Elliott to get spot Cup starts, possibly as soon as this season. Hendrick can run a fifth car in select races because of Elliott's rookie status, or he could farm him out to HScott Motorsports, a satellite team which Hendrick supplies with cars and chassis. This was the similar avenue Hendrick used successfully to develop Brad Keselowski.
"I don't think about it," Elliott said. "I just want to do my job right and to the best of my ability and everything else will figure itself out."
No matter how it all unfolds, Elliott's future is equally secure and promising. One day soon he will be driving at the highest level of NASCAR for the sport's most acclaimed organization. The only question is, exactly when that will be?

After nearly a year hiatus, a brand new tune from Jessie J's rolodex was released on the Internet last evening (October 29).
The 24-year-old singer's pipes are loud and clear in the new tune "Silver Lining (Crazy 'Bout You)," which was written by award-winning songwriter Dianne

Getting ready to drop her second studio album "Nice To Meet You" later this year, Jessie J showed off her rockin' fashion sense by covering the November 2012 issue of ELLE UK magazine.
The 24-year-old singer looked stunning in a black and gold Dolce & Gabbana bodysuit for the Rankin shot front page, while dishing about everything from her new image to finding love.

With another year's show come and gone, the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards offered up plenty of action while honoring the best in the music business.
Stepping out for a night filled with sexiness, Hollywood and the UK's hottest celebrities hit the red carpet for the 15th annual GQ Men of the Year Awards at The Royal Opera House on Tuesday (September 4).
After becoming suddenly ill with a viral infection, Jessee Jannounced she will have to cancel her upcoming show at Alnwick Castle in the United Kingdom.
On Friday (July 20), the 24-year-old pop singer took to her Twitter page to share the news writing, "Doctors have advised that rest is crucial for me to fully recover from the virus, so I wont be able to perform at tomorrow's gig at Alnwick Castle. The show has been moved to Saturday 25th August. Sorry to all my fans :)"

Although it started out as a gloomy day, the celebrations still reigned on in honor of Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee toasting to her 60 years of service on the throne in Great Britain.
The high heels and fancy gowns were out in full force as the stars arrived for the GLAMOUR Women of the Year Awards held at Berkeley Square Gardens in London, England on Tuesday (May 29).

She's had a career-defining past twelve months, and Jessie J continues to be a favorite as she's now landed herself the cover of the June 2012 issue of Company magazine.

In many counties this information from the court is available online. Then you could even do this through the mail if you're REALLY lazy. I would urge people to please consider getting active doing this soon. Regret is one of the suckiest emotions... regretting you didn't get your local community straightened out with respect to their rights - after civil unrest hits.. when knowing there was a way but no will... well... I'm betting that's probably gonna SUCK...
I know you're probably fed up with grass roots activity after the whole Presidential campaign and everything but has it occurred to you that the puppet masters PLANNED it all just to wear you out for when the time came to do something that actually WORKED?

Too bad the band wasn't really playing at Obama's inauguration. -- it was all pre-recorded and the band was faking it. Even the singer lip-synched the anthem! Disgusting. Google: Beyoncé Lip-Synced "The Star-Spangled Banner" The story was reported by the Washington Post. Too bad the Gazette doesn't have an real reports anymore (except David Lombardo, who is showing great promise). --I'd paste in the link but every time I do that the editors remove my comment.

Embracing "Wrong"
THIS MONTH, our music features
offer lessons in recording the
"wrong" way: Use the the wrong
mic technique. (Dangle the snare
mic from the ceiling.) Add
the wrong effects (television
compressors). Track drums in
the wrong space (a closet).
Apply the wrong finishing
touches to the mix. (Play up noise,
wow, and flutter.)
There's certainly a case to be
made for tried-and-true recording
methods, but sometimes tossing
out the rule book can yield
unexpectedly amazing results.
In our cover story (starting
on page 16), we learn how Elvis
Costello and The Roots recorded
much of their Wise Up Ghost
collaboration right on the Late
Night With Jimmy Fallon set, and
the result is a gorgeous, warm,
groove-laden record.
Moby learned long ago
that making intentional sonic
compromises—creating elements that many people would consider
mistakes—freed him to believe
a record could be anything he
wanted it to be, as he explains
in our feature on the Innocents
sessions (beginning on page 30):
"Realizing that suddenly makes
the studio a place where the goal
is to make something interesting,
rather than something perfect." In
the recording world, there is no
single "perfect" sound, one sonic
ideal—lucky for us, because it
would be a sad place if everything
sounded the same.
These are my comments.

Yorkshire zoo 'saddened' by giraffe death reports
The UK zoo that offered to rehome a young giraffe facing death in Copenhagen Zoo, has said that it is "saddened" by reports that it had been killed. Yorkshire Wildlife Park said in a statement it had contacted the Danish zoo, but did not hear back:
Yorkshire Wildlife Park is saddened to hear reports from Copenhagen that 18 month old giraffe Marius has been euthansed.
When news of the plan was revealed on Saturday YWP immediately contacted Copenhagen Zoo via YWP's Head of Hoofstock who is Danish and explained to the zoo why the Park urgently wished to speak to the zoo and requested a call to confirm the situation regarding the giraffe.
YWP confirmed that they had contacted the zoo but had not heard back.
YWP has a state of the art giraffe house built in 2012 with a bachelor herd of 4 male giraffes and the capacity to take an extra male, subject to the agreement of the European stud book keeper.
One of the YWP giraffes is Palle, who came from Copenhagen Zoo in September 2012, when he was the same age as Marius.

Fricasseein' Off the Bayou
Posted Oct 24 2009 10:00pm
ost good things must come to an end, don't they? Unfortunately, my job is hitting rock bottom so I'm sending out my resume, yet again. Apparently I've adapted this hobby of getting a job, working off my tail, then getting laid off. Luckily, Phillip is getting full time so we can depend on him for the while until I, myself, get a steady job. I'm hoping to start my business next year, but, if the finances aren't right, I won't push it. At some point next year, it will begin.
Speaking of good things coming to an end, I was utterly disappointed when I saw the bottom of my bowl after consuming the last decadent morsel of oyster fricassee and last spoonful of creamy cush-cush. I was supposed to be making polenta biscuits but the desire to consume creamy polenta was so overwhelming, I opted for the later. And, yes, I was being lazy. It, however, was for a good reason. I had just been to the doctor's yesterday, again, and had more blood drawn to run tests for vitamin deficiency and/or anemia. If I hadn't had anemia before, after having all that blood taken out, I'd certainly drop some hemoglobins. Okay, not really, but I've been really getting drained. The reason they're taking so much is to test my thyroid and if I may be facing malabsorption, too, with several nutrients. If everything comes out clear, I'll be tested for minerals and metals next. I'm just hoping this is a case of popping a pill and feeling better. The reason why this all started in the first place is that I've been getting lightheaded, dizzy, exhausted and faint – a lot. It's beginning to affect my driving abilities so I'm really hoping this gets fixed, fast. It's not really fun waking up, doing a few things, then feel like you're ready for bed again. So, here's hopin'.
On days as such, there's nothing more comforting than low country food, in my opinion; but, to each his/her own. I find comfort in either southern food or Italian food, so, since I had Italian the night before, I opted for the later, Oyster Fricassee. A fricassee is one of those technical terms for something we do more often than not, stew. We stew all the time, no? The broth formed afterwards is usually thickened into gravy and, presto, you have just been fricasseeing. Whoa, that's actually a word. Well, when you apply fricasseeing to New Orleans , you go backwards in some degree. A dark roux is made first which is then added to the sautéed trinity and whatever ingredients you choose, which, in turn is then poured over rice. My stomach wasn't in the rice digesting mood so I went for the easy creamy cheesy polenta or cush cush in NOLA lingo. It was beautiful. There are some times when the sleeping artist really emerges and this was one of them. The hue was absolutely perfect, the consistency of the polenta was perfect, and the whole flavor marriage was absolutely ideal. I also now have an affinity for oysters. Oh the possibilities – oyster gumbo, oyster jambalaya, oyster Rockefeller, oyster po boy's baby!
One aspect of the recipe I have to make clear – buy fresh oysters; do not use canned. By fresh, I mean get the
little containers of oysters
from your fish monger. Mine was some king oyster brand. The ones on the shelves are disgusting. Don't even bother – trust me. That statement applies to most canned seafood, save for anchovies. Yes, that's about it. I don't think I've ever purchased anything else seafood wise off the grocery shelves. Canned tuna is just gross. I have yet to find a brand that I like.
The texture of an oyster is similar to a clam and mussel, but, the flavor is much different and pleasant in my opinion. I couldn't really tell if it was the quality that was far superior to my shellfish experience in the past, or, that I just prefer the oyster over the other two. Clams are okay if properly prepared, but, mussels seem to have that distinctive sea taste. I think I now know why oysters are the molluscs of choice. Now I'm really tempted to try an oyster bar. I'll just let them do the shucking.
Oyster Fricassee
With cheddar cush cush/polenta
3 oz fresh packed oysters
1 stalk of celery, diced
¼ of a large bell pepper, diced
¼ of a large onion diced
1 scallion, chopped
4 medium baby bell mushrooms, diced
1/6th of soyrizo, optional (Or use real sausage)
2 cups chopped spinach (optional)
2 tsp Cajun seasoning
1 tsp crystal's hot sauce
¼ tsp smoked paprika or liquid smoke
1 tbsp white wine
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp rice flour
½ tbsp nondairy margarine
¼ cup nondairy milk
Fresh parsley to garnish
Cheddar Cush Cush
1 oz almond cheddar or your favorite alternative cheese
¼ cup fine cornmeal
Salt to taste
1 ½ cups water
In a small pan, whisk together the cornmeal and 1 cup of water. When it begins to thicken, add the salt, cheese, and the remaining water. Turn the heat on low and continually stir the polenta until the water begins to evaporate and you achieve a thick paste-like consistency. Remove from the heat. It will thicken as it cools.
For the main course:
In a small sauce pan, toast the flour until a nutty aroma is achieved. Once the flour turns a golden hue, add the margarine and let that coat the flour. Once the flour becomes collected by the nondairy butter, gradually whisk in the milk. Put that on the back burner on a very low simmer, whisking on occasion.
In a nonstick frying pan or one sprayed with nonstick cooking spray, sauté the trinity – celery, peppers, and onions until just soft. Add the soyrizo and garlic, cooking until it begins to brown. Add water if it sticks. Add the scallion and mushrooms, letting them cook down. Deglaze with the wine and let that cook off.
Add the spinach, Cajun seasonings, salt, and pepper. When the spinach wilts, add the roux and finally the oysters, cooking for 2 to 3 minutes.
Turn off the heat after 3 minutes and spoon the 'stew' into a bowl. The cush-cush should be thick enough to stand on its own, so, either place that on top and to the side in the bowl as I did, or, just pile it in the center with the stew spooned on top.
Garnish with fresh parsley and even some thyme if you have it.

What to do about cyber attacks from state actors and their surrogates? For the State Department and DHS it would seem that the answer is now the courts and international negotiation. Hints of this came recently with the indictment of 5 Chinese military personnel for hacking. An utterly futile gesture as the Chinese are not about to extradite the 5 to stand trial, it bespeaks reliance on legal remedies that are, at best, only a matter of public shaming. Now, however, there is new evidence regarding the U.S. intent to negotiate on cyber with state actors like China, Russia, and Iran.
Along with recent Chinese hacking into the Office of Personnel Management comes a reports that Chinese hackers, almost certainly at the behest of their government, have begun targeting Middle East experts at major U.S. think tanks. This, in response to events in Iraq and, seemingly, an urgent Chinese need to know where U.S. policy regarding them might be going. Operation "Deep Panda," as it is named by researchers, was announced by Dmitri Alperovitch, chief technology officer of cyber security company CrowdStrike. Alperovitch suggested that perhaps the Chinese were concerned about their oil infrastructure in Iraq. Whether the U.S. will intervene and protect Chinese interests may be the question of the hour for Beijing.
The above came on the eve of last week's annual Strategic and Economic Dialog between Washington and Beijing. One of Secretary of State John Kerry's goals is to secure the revival of the Sino-U.S. working group on cyber issues. The group was shut down by the Chinese after the military hackers' indictments. The intent to negotiate on the matter is another indicator of administration intents. An unnamed official has said:
"We share an interest in a secure and predictable and orderly cyber environment. We see the bilateral U.S.-China working group as an important forum and vehicle for fulfilling our responsibilities and for making progress, so we certainly would like to see the earliest practical resumption of that forum."
DHS released its 2014 Quadrennial Homeland Security Review on June 18. Despite administration carryings-on about the growth of the cyber threat in complexity and numbers of intrusions, the DHS strategic plan is written in general terms and effectively says nothing we haven't heard before about "protecting critical infrastructure" from cyber depredations. However, at the very end of its cyber section, the plan strongly hints at the courts and negotiation approach in saying:
"Internationally, DHS will work with the Department of State and other partners to build global networks to share vital cybersecurity information and help enable international response to cyber incidents. DHS, with our partners, will also work to harmonize international laws to effectively combat transnational cybercrime."
The most revealing—and troubling—indicator of administration cybersecurity intent comes from a 40-page draft State Department report dated July 2 and obtained by Inside Cybersecurity. The year-long study was done by State's International Security Advisory Board, chaired by former Senator Gary Hart with the writing done under the supervision of retired Army General Montgomery Meigs.
As Inside Cybersecurity says, the study is an "effort to craft a "framework for international cyber stability" and endorses "ongoing work on international norms of behavior for cyberspace and urging industry involvement, though the document fails to break much new ground." However, the opening paragraphs of the report reveal the administration's intent to focus on negotiations, one might say in the spirit of 21st-century "international norming:"

Nice job!! Thanks for sharing!!
Love it!!!! We only have a family dollar here..
Really? In my area the Dollar Generals have multiplied like rabbits!! I live in a small college town (about 18,000 people) and we have 4 in the city plus 4 more on the outskirts of town–one in every direction headed out of the city. Oh, and we have 2 Family Dollar stores as well.
maybe because we have a dollar tree and 99c store in every town and a cvs on every corner… Plus rite aid and walgreens…… Idk why we don't have a dollar general… It's sad.. Lol.
I don't see that many Dollar Generals in my area either. They seem to be sprinkled throughout, but we have Dollar Tree's and 99 cent stores too. And the Dollar General's that are around here are gross and dirty.
I don't how they determine where to put what stores, but my husband and I comment that we wish we could have/would have bought stock in Dollar General because they are popping up everywhere! LOL! The new stores are nice and the older ones use to be gross and dirty but they are remodeling and cleaning them up to resemble the layouts of the newer ones.
Good Job… So how do you know if they are on clearance. Is it marked down at the stores cause I haven;t seen a price scanner there. Thank you ! !
They should have orange clearance stickers on them with a price!
Sweet deal

There's always the possibility of someone having a secret admirer, no matter how remote that chance might be. You may be a lovelorn teenager, a single mother or just an average person on the street. But, there's always someone out there for everyone and that person might be the guy you least expect.
But, how to know if a guy is attracted to you? That's a question that is easily answerable but not easy to act upon. However, if you follow certain tips and guidelines, you'll be able to figure it out.
1) The first moment
Love at first sight seems like a myth nowadays. A relic of the past that has no place in the present era; except for in movies and novels. Although I won't go as far as to say that you can fall in love on sight, you can't deny that you've had (or at least, hope to have) one single second where you stared into someone's eyes and you could swear that everything else seem to slow down as you silently drown in the warmth of his gaze.
Okay, maybe that was a little bit far-fetched, but there is always a chance that you'll have lesser versions of the 'love-at-first-sight' moments. The eyes are the windows to one's hopes and desires. All you have to do is to look into his eyes and you'll be able to get a hint of what his feelings are for you.
2) Looking his best
Appearances always matter. It gives someone a good impression of yourself and if you want to impress someone, you'll dress to the nines. So, to know if a guy is attracted to you, just check out his clothes. Does he always seem well-dressed around you? Maybe he styles his hair whenever there's a chance meeting. Or he could start to use facial products. These are usually noticed as gradual changes as the guy will often try to come up with new look in an attempt to illicit a comment from you
3) Rumors
Sometimes, you'll have to go old school to know whether he's into you or not. Just listening around or asking casual questions to your friends might help you glean more information about your situation. But, you can't really rely a hundred percent on this method. A rumor is a living breathing thing. They have a way of evolving into something else entirely as it passes from mouth to mouth. A simple comment as saying 'She looks pretty today' can reach the end of the chain as 'He's totally into her'.
You can never have too many friends. They are invaluable to you as you progress through life. As the saying goes, 'No man is an island'. So, discuss your dilemma with your buddies and try to come up with solutions. Maybe, you all can concoct a plan that involves inviting him for a group gathering, where, in actuality, only you and him attend.
5) The body speaks
Being human; you can never be able to hide your feelings totally. There's always a single twitch or gesture that can give you away. And these movements can be read by people who know how. Use this in knowing how to know if a guy is attracted to you.
Talk to him and observe his reaction. Does he gets nervous and wipes his palms on his shirt? Does his voice stutter? Does his eye look around when trying to answer a question? Maybe, his body is angled towards you; a reaction to his subconscious desires.
The pursuit of love can be quite tiring and sometimes quite disappointing. However, you should be always prepared and think positively. But, there is always someone out there for everyone and you should always use those tips above to know if a guy is attracted to you.

First Leveson, now this – the cancelling of RBS hospitality at Wimbledon. How much more punishment can our media elite take? Journalists will have to look after themselves; the more interesting question is whether generous corporate hospitality is beginning to look a little out of place in our "age of austerity".
The immediate cause of the cancelled canapes is clear. RBS felt that to be handing out champagne while its customers struggled to overcome the bank's IT problems, to pay weekly bills and get their accounts in order, would have been a PR disaster too far. Another corporate event – golf this time, at Gleneagles with Jack Nicklaus – has also been deemed out of bounds. The only consolation for hacks and other business clients is that RBS's seats will still be available to them during Wimbledon fortnight – they will just have to bring a Thermos and some sandwiches.
Few journalists or business people can say hand on heart (or wallet, or stomach) that they have never enjoyed a stay on what Private Eye used to call "the island of Fribi". Who said no to a ride on Concorde? Who wouldn't want good seats at Covent Garden or Wembley or Lord's, with a "nosebag" thrown in? Travel journalism would be impossible without the regular (and at times lavish) offers of free trips to places no newspaper or magazine could ever afford to send its staff. Business people like to meet informally, as well as in colourless offices. Ban hospitality and a lot less legitimate business would get done.
With hindsight, some offers of hospitality can seem excessive. One particularly kind contact used to send me a Fortnum & Mason hamper every Christmas. Having decanted all the obscure and unnecessary "luxury" items that feature by law in such hampers to friends and family, I happily drank the wine and ate the chocs every year. My children's toys are now stored in those fetching wicker containers with the F&M initials embossed on the side.
Was it a crime to accept these gifts? Well, it wasn't then, but it might be now. The Bribery Act (2010) states that if "a financial or other advantage" is offered, promised or given to tempt somebody to behave improperly (or reward them for doing so) then the law may have been broken.
Of course, journalists and business people usually declare loudly that they are impossible to influence (or corrupt) with the offer of such trinkets. And, usually, they are telling the truth. But that is not how hospitality works.
The proper (if expensive) role of hospitality is to help form and strengthen contacts and relationships. A restaurant meal or a ticket to the cup final doesn't necessarily win a business better coverage or leave contacts feeling that a debt is owed. It does give the provider an opportunity to spend some time with someone they want to know better, in a pleasant and relaxed setting. More fool either side to this arrangement if anyone is under the impression that a deal is being done. The News of the World email uncovered during the Leveson inquiry, which referred to the former Metropolitan police assistant commissioner John Yates – "time to call in all those bottles of champagne" – was crass in the extreme.
Networking must and will continue. Contacts will still be made. All work and no play makes for boring newspapers and a less healthy order book. But at a time when both transparency and austerity are called for, it is no use flashing the corporate cash in a vulgar or excessive way. It is wrong to offer it and wrong to accept it. We all need to sober up a bit, literally and metaphorically. It will be slightly less fun, but it will be a better way of doing business.
RBS has made a wise decision to put their champagne back on ice. Their current local difficulty would have made such largesse unseemly. The next trick to pull off in the corporate world will be to find less costly and extravagant ways of getting "close to your customers".

In 07, while getting it serviced I asked them to contact me as soon as they got a G8 GT in.
Never got a call.
Last month I was there again, and...
