Patients Come Second: Leading Change by Changing the Way You Leadby Paul Spiegelman
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Americans enjoy the finest healthcare delivery system in the world, but most people will tell you that we still have a long way to go. Far too frequently, patients leave the doctor's office or hospital feeling confused, angry, or neglected. Healthcare leaders recognize this problem, but in their focus on patients (and sometimes financials), they often overlook the true key to lasting patient loyalty and satisfaction: their employees.
Patients Come Second shakes up the traditional healthcare model, arguing that in order to care for and retain patients, leaders must first create exceptional teams and find ways to engage nurses, administrative staff, physicians, supervisors, and even housekeeping staff and switchboard operators. By connecting employees' work with a higher purpose and equipping them with the tools to become leaders themselves, patient care can be dramatically transformed. And with continuing healthcare changes on the horizon and ever-rising pressure to acquire and keep patients, doing so now is more important than ever.
Britt Berrett, president of an 898-bed hospital, and Paul Spiegelman, founder and CEO of a successful patient-experience company, are the perfect guides to the changes needed in healthcare leadership. With a rich combined experience in their field, they have filled each chapter with an abundance of engaging, insightful stories and write with a humor and friendliness that balances and enhances the urgency of their message.
No business can effectively take care of its customers before it takes care of its employees. Healthcare is no different—and that's why patients have to come second.
About the Author
Paul Spiegelman is founder and CEO of The Beryl Companies, which includes—among others—BerylHealth, a technology-focused patient experience company, and The Circle, a training company that helps businesses enhance employee engagement. BerylHealth has won nine "best place to work" awards, and in 2010, Spiegelman was honored with the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award. He is a sought-after speaker and author on executive leadership, corporate culture, and employee engagement. His views have been published in Entrepreneur, the Dallas Morning News, Inc., and many other publications.
Britt Berrett, a passionate advocate for excellence in healthcare, serves as president of Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas, where, he oversees strategic planning and operations, guiding the hospital in its mission to improve the health of the people in the community it serves. In 2007 U.S. News and World Report recognized Texas Health Dallas as a best hospital in the digestive disorders, orthopedics, and neurology and neurosurgery specialties. Texas Health Dallas also received the Magnet Recognition Program Award for excellence in nursing services from the American Nurses Credentialing Center. In addition to his role at the hospital, Berrett also serves as an executive vice president of Texas Health Resources.

It looks like Kelsey Brookes has been working on a new body of work for Quint Contemporary Art in La Jolla, set to open in November. The upcoming series of paintings, drawing from the San Diego-based artist's science background, will be inspired by structural diagrams of different neurotransmitters as well as the drugs that mimic them, both designer (i.e. xanex, prozac) and recreational (i.e. mescaline, LSD). And in other news, Brookes has been tapped to create covers for the Red Hot Chili Peppers as they get set to release 18 unheard songs from the sessions that produced their latest album, I'm With You, over the next six months…(by sleepboy)

undo "system image restore" ?
have restored my notebook with a system image via the recovery console on the Windows 7 x64 ult DVD, but forgot to backup some data...
Am now running recovery software, but would prefer if it is possible to undo the system restore and restore my notebook to its state just before I used the systemimage to get back to my clean system...
Is that even possible ?
Or is format recovery software my best bet ?
Krill Ontrack Easy Recovery is running as I type !
|My System Specs
|21 Apr 2011
Several, including Windows 7 x64 Ultimate
If you have restored a system image, all data is overwritten. There is no way to recover it or to put it back as it was. The only way to so is if you have another image from a previous date.
Some recovery software might get some stuff back. I would try this first;
DiskDigger | Undelete and recover photos, documents, music, videos, and more!
Format recovery software is useless because you have not formatted anything, you have overwritten what was there with an image.
Trying to use it will only cause you more problems. If Diskdigger or Recuva does not work;
( But always try Diskdigger first, it runs in memory and does not overwrite data you are trying to recover) then it is unlikely that you can do anything much.

Possibly fix sleep problems associated with AirPort
I might have to try this. One of my macs is an iMac that rarely will go into sleep mode on its own and when it does, wakes up on its own every hour or so. I tried changing settings and everything else, but figured it was something to do with the wireless network waking the system.

Hi there!
I am going to install OpenSSH in one of my servers, but I want to make
sure it is secure.
Does anybody know about vulnerabilites on OpenSSH, if yes, would you
like to suggest me another remote secure shell ?
OpenSSH has had a few vulnerabilities in the past but it is extremely
good from a security standpoint, the reason it's had a few vulns is that
it is commonly audited code (everyone wants to find an OpenSSH bug).
Being one of the most widely used FOSS projects gives it this advantage,
imo, being so widely audited means the code has to hold up to intense
scrutiny. This is something the OpenSSH/BSD guys have stood up to time
and time again producing good quality code, at least in regards to
security. I personally wouldn't look past it for a secure shell
Security aside it's also a very good project with massive amounts of
documentation on-line which means you can effectively manage it.

Preacher's path leads back to Commerce Boulevard
Pastor Evelyn Windum-Hubbard, lovingly called Preacher Hubbard by her congregation and the community, is an advocate for improving the lives of children, young adults, and seniors.
The first female pastor in Tunica County, she took her place behind the pulpit of Commerce Christian Church in 2000. Hubbard grew up in the house that was once next door. One of Hubbard's earliest memories is of the 1955 tornado destroying the original church. A new building was resurrected shortly thereafter.
County agrees to help THS
The Tunica Humane Society will soon see an increase in county funding, following a vote by officials on Oct. 3.
Supervisors agreed to up the county's contribution to the organization from $30,000 to $50,000 per year. THS, a 501c3 nonprofit, has been dependent on grant funding and private donations for operations since its founding in 2008.

Welcome to the Pittsburgh Media Report, a regular feature on City of Champions. Read the previous edition.
Before I get started, thanks for all the well-wishes regarding last week's post.
On with the show…
Pensblog co-editor Derek Rocco fired off a series of interesting tweets during Friday night's Penguins game that got me thinking. Rocco, a.k.a. @TPBDerek, said that he thought listening to Paul Steigerwald and Bob Errey perform their broadcast duties on Root Sports could warp naive fans' view of the team.
I for one am concerned that as time goes on the damage Paul Steigerwald and Bob Errey do to young and new hockey fans may be irreversible
— TPB Derek (@TPBderek) January 11, 2014
I agree with this, at least to some degree. Steigerwald and Errey are the voices of the Penguins for most people, despite Hockey Hall of Famer Mike Lange still doing his thing on the radio alongside analyst Phil Bourque. Considering the Pens' remarkable local TV ratings, Root Sports dictates the agenda when it comes to game broadcasts.
It's evident Steigerwald and Errey gloss over the Penguins' errors more than their radio counterparts, and part of that difference may be attributed to Root Sports management. Since the brand change from FSN Pittsburgh to Root, it feels like the broadcasts are more partisan than they used to be.
Not that we should expect a team's media partners to function completely objectively, but the primary job of any broadcaster is to report the action accurately. There's never any doubt that Lange is playing it straight, a reputation he's earned in four decades of expert work. His legendary status was built on much more than fun catch phrases, which any longtime listener would be able to tell you.
Steigerwald's call is (usually) competent, but his delivery has a little too much marketing sheen for my taste. The Penguins and their stars are plenty good enough to let their play stand on its own merit, a fact the Root broadcast doesn't jive with. (This is not to impeach the work of reporter Dan Potash, host Rob King and studio analyst Jay Caufield, all of whom I hold in high regard.)
For that matter, I don't share Rocco's views on Errey. Can he get carried away defending or lauding the Pens? Yes, but he's entertaining while doing it. I can forgive a lot of ills if a broadcaster makes me laugh. Also, I think Errey's ability to describe why certain things happen on the ice is very good, which is essentially why has the job.
Nevertheless, Root's rooting tendencies do have an affect on all of us, even if we believe ourselves impervious to outside influences. It's easier to get along than disagree, so some newer Penguins fans probably think the hockey world revolves around the flightless fowl more than it actually does.
That mentality is good for the franchise's health and its continued growth in popularity, but it doesn't make for better hockey fans. As much as that may bother some of us, it's a trade the Penguins and Root are willing to make.

Corsair Vengeance C70 review -
Product Showcase - UnBoxing - Exterior
Product Showcase
Let's start off with the review. As always we begin with packaging. It's a simple yet informative thing to show as when you purchase a chassis, you honestly do not want any defects and scratches on it. The C70 is packaged in cardboard.
Once you take the unit out of the cardboard box you'll notice two layers of foam protecting the unit, which on its end is covered in a plastic bag. Packaging was done carefully and the chances of damage and risk thanks to that are minimal.
So there she is, it looks like military equipment alright. The design is kept simple, not at all screaming with lights and logos accompanied by the military-green design that is easy on the eyes. Less is better, and that works out well here.
The chassis is made out of a steel structure including the bezel. As you can see at the front side, it supports (x3) 5.25", internally you can house six (6x) 3.5/2.5 in the hard drive bays .
When we flip around the unit we can see the side panel and back a little better. Again, simple but stylish. The panels can be removed with two hinges located on the top (we'll show you that in detail later). The left side panel has two fan mounts and an accompanying mesh.
The size of the chassis by the way is 501mm (H) x 232mm (W) x 533mm (L). The C70 actually has many fan mounting points for plenty of cooling. Three 120mm fans two in the front behind the HDD cage, and one in the rear are included.
The backside itself reveals a thing or two as well. Next to the top left rear IO we spot that 3rd 120mm fan. All three fans in this chassis can be PWM fan controlled, but no fan controller is included though. Next to the 8 expansion slots we see two holes that you can open up and use, these could be used for some sort of external liquid cooling.

If Peter Gabriel had graduated from Hogwarts, he probably couldn't have conjured a better trick than what happened during the first five songs of his two-set show at Red Rocks Monday night. Lightning flashed behind the stage as Gabriel opened his show with a languid cover of "Heroes," the mixed Colorado/English symphony orchestra creating a swelling dreamscape of sound for Gabriel's still-potent voice.
The continued natural light storm drew lots of "oohs" from the crowd, and by the third song, a slight drizzle had started. However, as Gabriel started singing "Après Moi," with its line "Après moi, le deluge, after me comes the flood," the deluge started in earnest. After all, why shouldn't a British musician bring a little bit of home with him? As Gabriel wryly noted, "When you are in the bosom of nature, you need to be careful of what you wish for."

We are all creators
Every day we assemble our world : reusing items out of their contexts, actions and reactions from our relatives, expectations and choices.
So many bricks that once attached by the fluid mortar of life, make up our Universe.
Comparable to DNA for a Scientist,
and the blows of fate for the Almighty,
we test, modify, match our sparks of life, fragments of lives,
make mistakes, sometimes on purpose, and often (un)fortunately.
looking for comfort, thrill, happiness, more than yesterday, less than tomorrow, we have been making mistakes.
Go ahead, try, fail, try again, never stop.
Samsara and serendipity.
And you, what is your most «beautiful» mistake?

Try a thing you haven't done three times. Once, to get over the fear of doing it. Twice, to learn how to do it. And a third time, to figure out wheter you like it or not.

October 31, 2014
ITASCA, Ill. (AP) -- A new report says the nation's accidental death rate has been gradually creeping higher since 1992.
The Itasca based National Safety Council warns that if the trend continues, the nation could surpass the all-time high of 116-thousand-385 accidental deaths set in 1969.
The rate of accidental deaths -- a number adjusted for population growth -- made a steady decline from 1969 until 1992.
But ground is being lost because of increasing rates of falls among the elderly and accidental fatal overdoses of medications or illegal drugs.
Illinois was among states with the lowest accidental death rates in the nation in 2003, the most recent year of data analyzed by the council for the report released yesterday.
New Mexico had the highest accidental death rate, and Massachusetts had the lowest.

Walter Lippmann, Chapter 1, Public Opinion (1922)
Lippmann was one of the founders of The New Republic magazine and a central figure in the development of communication research - and media research by extension.
In the quote above, he makes the case for how mediated experiences interfere in how people understand the world. For Lippmann, this comes from a place of distrusting existing power structures (like other news organizations and political leaders) while also believing in an objective reality (this is before post-modernism) that should be reported and defended.
While I have some qualms with his claim above it's still fascinating:
- The resonance of this line of thinking still permeates much of journalism and popular conceptions of how news and information should be shared.
- It establishes (or at least reinforces) the notion of an artificial mediated distance between people that continues to be argued about today. Even the term "pseudo-environment" consciously distances mediated information from ones that are "non-mediated."
Circuit Judge Tatel, U.S. Court of Appeals, D.C. Circuit, Verizon v. FCC 2014, p. 6
This quote pairs well with this piece by Christopher Butler on Facebook's advertising of its news app 'Paper:'
"The world of Paper is an anachronism. It's a screenless world created to sell you a thing made for the screen. It's the past resurrected in order to convince you that something entirely common today is actually a portal to the future."
I'm not sure if I buy Timothy Lee's standards for dividing "media companies" from "tech companies" in this Washington Post piece about the Yahoo!-Tumblr merger:
Media companies build brands by associating themselves with hot cultural trends. Because these trends are fickle, media companies can't do much more than observe which way the crowd is moving and race to get in front of it.
In contrast, technology firms build strong brands by creating technology that is objectively superior to other products on the market — for everyone. Google didn't become the dominant search engine through strategic partnerships or savvy marketing. It did it by having better search results than its competitors. And while younger users switched to Google more quickly, Google has been gradually winning older users for its search engine as well.
The division here is problematic - Google owns YouTube (the web's leading space for web video), Amazon's retail empire continues to expand with both media content and technology like the Kindle, etc. More interesting is the intentional division by Lee to insist media companies are chasing trends while tech companies that create the best products will inherently rise to the top. This plays up the "up-by-their-bootstraps" narrative tech companies love, but doesn't show the ongoing historical trends of technological development for traditional media or the importance of desirable content on new technological platforms.
- Christena Nippert-Eng, Islands of Privacy (2010)
With the semester over, I've been catching up on a lot of outside reading. The issues Nippert-Eng (a social psychologist) brings up, particularly in the Cell Phones and Email chapter of her book, are also useful for understanding the relationships between people, the Internet and privacy. It's important to think about privacy, not as a state of being, but as a descriptor of relationships. If the giving or withholding of attention/information/action constitutes the boundaries of privacy, understanding the power relationships between people, objects and networks takes on new meaning.
Tiso's point about the use of 'we' in tech writing is an important one. Even as Internet access improves, the casual 'we' universalizes something that is far from universal, not to mention it assumes everyone understands and uses media technology in the same way.
Google Reader, the company's free RSS feed aggregator will be shuttered on July 1. Many voices across the Internet have been vocal in their disapproval of this move - while not the most popular Google tool, it has a small, intense following, primarily bloggers.
Others, like my friend Andy (who makes web things for a living) are more approving of Reader's demise:
Another free Internet service bites the dust. Good riddance. We should be willing to pay for useful things to keep them alive.
We discussed several important points while we talked about this on Twitter last night:
1. Free services often come with lots of strings attached. Privacy concerns, murky copyright and IP policies, and byzantine terms of use agreements. They're also fragile and potentially unreliable since companies like Google have no obligation to keep running them.
2. As a customer instead of a user you have a clearer relationship between yourself and the service provider. If you don't like what they're doing you can stop using it or stop paying for it.
3. Running web services is expensive and problematic. Relying on a handful of companies to provide storage instead of on individual computers can also be risky.
4. With these things in mind, subscription services may be the most viable arrangement for both users and independent web service creators/providers.
But, as Bill points out, this issue is even more complex:
@kylewrather @alindeman I believe this is an economic issue, too. Middle class goods and services
I have a lingering Web 1.0 nostalgia for (or more likely utopian dream of) an online experience where everyone owns their own websites, the best services are open-source and these online interactions happen in shared and easily-integrated spaces but just this isn't how things work.
Instead, we see growing app-ification of the online experience - where users are increasingly restrained within walled gardens (like Google and Facebook) within which use is limited to patterns dictated by the architecture of the sites themselves.
But Internet pessimism is often overstated. A nostalgic and utopian view of the Web fails to recognize the extreme digital divide which has actually been shrinking. These free online services offer lower barriers of entry for new online users. Their "freeness" is contingent upon your information being sold back to you in the form of advertising dollars. Here's a graph of Internet users as percentage of population:
More people are online and this is particularly increasing globally. These services offer these users a free way to participate online. Not everyone can pay subscriptions to boutique online service providers, even if that relationship would be better for all parties involved. Not everyone can host their own blog, email and photos - services that Google, Facebook, Yahoo!, Tumblr, etc. are happy to do as long as they're profitable.
Speculation on Quora from a former Googleplex insider points to Google shuttering the service primarily because it doesn't play well with Google+ and it doesn't help generate advertising information/money.
This Google Reader kerfuffle is just that because it reveals to Google users what we already know - its not running a charity and its services are not directly aimed at creating a better, more open and idealistic Internet experience, but serving the company's strategic goals.
This should not be surprising and outside of user backlash there are few repercussions for the elimination of these services.
Last week, I had a chance to see Holy Motors, a 2012 French film by Leos Carex, which can be read as a send-up to cinema itself, dovetailed interestingly with the concepts of public and private spaces brought up by Habermas in The Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere. Briefly, Habermas outlines human interactions as occurring in private, smaller or internal exchanges or in larger public and conversational exchanges in which decisions could be made by the participating public.
The film follows a mysterious character Monsieur Oscar (Denis Lavant) who is transported throughout Paris as he participates in a series of situations/events/scenes as an actor playing a participant in each of the events. In an exchange with his employer, Oscar emphasizes his love of performance while lamenting the shrinking size of the cameras. For me, this can be read two ways: that the stage for his performances are shrinking or that the stage has become ubiquitous. Therefore, Oscar's weariness may be due to the lack of opportunities for real acting.
But there's a second option, and this is where Habermas comes in - his weariness is from a perpetual state of performance - that the division between private (non-acting) and public (acting) spaces has eroded to a point where Oscar is always acting. This plays with the audiences suspencion of disbelief by winkingly acknowledging it is a movie about an actor (Oscar) portraying people in "real life" is portrayed by an actor (Lavant) as you watch the film in real "real life."
The notion of an actor literally acting as exciting, bizarre and often mundane everyday people forces you to acknowledge that existence is a participation in the public sphere and that the portrayal of even private moments in a public manner (such as seeing them in a movie) makes those exchanges public also.
Susan Crawford, former Obama Administration technology advisory, ICANN board member, and network neutrality advocate, has an interesting op-ed in yesterday's New York Times offering steps she suggests are needed to increase broadband Internet access - specifically high-capacity fiber networks - for people living in the United States. She argues a relatively ineffective Federal Communications Commission along with political pressure from and oligopoly of network-owning corporations (Comcast, AT&T, Time Warner and Verizon control almost all broadband Internet access in the U.S.) have obstructed innovation and expansion of faster Web access for Americans.
Here are her three primary suggestions:
First, [the Federal government] must remove barriers to investment in local fiber networks … in nearly 20 states, laws sponsored by incumbent network operators have raised barriers for cities wanting to foster competitive networks.
Second, the F.C.C. must make reasonably priced high-speed access available to everyone. In the 20th century, we made a commitment to provide universal telephone service to every American and to subsidize that utility service for our poor and rural neighbors. […] We need to make sure that subsidies are available for competitive companies willing to extend world-class service to more Americans.
Finally, the F.C.C. must foster more competition by changing the rules that keep the status quo in place. There is a raft of regulations and processes at the F.C.C. that incumbents wield to maintain their market power, including rules about access to programming and to telephone poles that favor existing providers.
While many of these recommendations are also spelled out in FCC's National Broadband Plan, I have my doubts about these changes happening, particularly about the possibilities of Crawford's second and third points.
Today's discussions of broadband expansion can be best illustrated by understanding how FCC's relatively hands-off approach has led to a two-sided debate. On one side you have network providers whose incentive is to maximize profits by providing adequate access and speed while making minimal expensive infrastructure investments (network/fiber upgrades.) The other is largely composed of web content and technology companies (Google, Amazon, Netflix, Microsoft, etc.) whose popularity and success depends on fast, reliable and affordable access to the Internet.
So for Crawford's suggestions to even occur, we will need to see either A.) a newly empowered and enthusiastic FCC willing impose regulations or access requirements on current network providers or B.) intervention of web/tech companies to disrupt the currently uncompetitive Internet market and encourage existing providers to get better and cheaper or for users to have more options. As Crawford notes in her article, we're beginning to see some movement with Google's building of a fiber network for Kansas City, Mo. Unfortunately, until we see movement on either of these fronts, U.S. broadband speeds will remain slow.

Last night I finished reading Frank Herbert's 1965 science fiction classic Dune. Below are some of my thoughts on the book:
In many ways, Dune is a book about resistance. Resistance against economic cartels, political coups, arranged relationships, cultural and religious traditions and planetary occupation - Paul-Muad'Dib, Lady Jessica, Stilgar and many others continually meet and push-back against these obstacles. I'm still on the fence about whether the influence of Paul and Kynes as outsiders to Fremen life operate as adopters of the desert culture who help the people with their long-sought goal of making Arrakis livable or whether their influence is a form of cultural and interplanetary imperialism. For the moment, I think I side with the former based on the results of these interactions - at the conclusion ofDune (I haven't read the sequals) their actions further the explicit goals of the Fremen - to give control of Arrakis (and the invaluable spice it produces) to the people that live there.
Reading Dune today must be different than in 1965. Reading the book in 2012, its themes of insurgency, resistance and control of geographic resources strongly echo recent political and economic events in the Middle East. It's impossible not to read the spice Melange as petroleum oil - a limited resource essential to the economic stability and power of larger, powerful and influential groups. The Fremen jihad against imperial (literally) outsiders evokes a cultural and historical cache including the mujaheddin resistance to the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan, as well as the more recent insurgencies U.S. troops continue to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan. Herbert had no way of knowing the political and economic future, but his book continues to offer an useful comment them through Paul's conflicted views on the tenuous balance between emancipatory resistance and the uncontrolled mob.
Why do so many sci-fi stories involved interplanetary interactions where each planet has it's own government? In many cases (Star Trek, Star Wars, etc.) planets are governed by one planetary group or body and participate in one or many larger interstellar government structures (think the Federation, Old Republic, Empire.) In many ways Herbert exposes this trope with his portrayal of the Fremen resistance, but its hard to imagine any planet with a large population being effectively governed on the planetary level in a way that doesn't reduce to harsh authoritarianism.
The point of all this is that it is not the existence of knowledge but the convergence and cross-pollination of knowledge that drives progress.
Now, the challenge with the internet is that it's a medium increasingly well-tailored for helping us find more of what we know we're looking for, but increasingly poorly suited to helping us discover what we don't yet know exists and thus don't yet care to be interested in.
This creates a kind of "filter bubble" - to use internet activist Eli Pariser's term - that only deepens our existing interests rather than broadening our intellectual horizons and filling our mental libraries with precisely the kind of diverse pieces that we can then combine into new ideas."—

Dear Georgia,
No one can deny we've had a long run. You were one of the original 13 colonies, and while I was started more than 50 years later at the intersection of some of your railroads, we've been inseparable ever since. Sure, I got burned when you tried to secede with the confederacy, but those things happen and I was happy to start over again while taking in many seeking refuge after that messy ordeal.
From there we grew together, you and I, through dark times and prosperity, through depressions and growth. But after World War 2, I started noticing something was wrong. More of my people started moving from me to you. At first I thought this was normal and fair - people move after all! When we added interstates across both of us, I had some complaints, but surely it would just be a better way to have your people and mine enjoy both of us more, but sadly that hasn't been the case.
In the 70s when MARTA was created and later when the airport began to boom, I looked to you for support, and instead was spurned. I had become a refuge for people treated with disdain and sometimes violence with you, but I continued to be happy to take them in. While we had our differences, I was shocked to find you actively working against the initiatives and investment that I needed to grow. You were proud to brag about the economic growth I brought to you, and I thought I was happy to share, but it seemed like the seeds of discontent were planted and at times I felt we were going in two different directions.
It turns out those feelings were correct. Even though we've shared so much (1996 Olympics!?) - whenever I try to improve myself, I'm now met with resistance from you. When I try to improve my transportation - I'm blocked. I hoped that we could get on the same page, but it appears that you're only happy to use me - letting people work at the business I've brought in, only to send that money and opportunity out to your suburbs, while leaving many of the people in me underrepresented and sometimes in dire need.
I hoped we could come to an understanding - to realize that our fates and futures are linked, but it may be better if we go our own ways - you can keep being a largely agrarian state, sure the suburbanites will be jobless without me, but they didn't want to help me, so why should I care if I stop helping them. I'll continue to be a huge city full of culture, but I will only become more hollow and more neglected than before. It seems like that's what you've always wanted, so even though It's the worse thing for both of us, it seems like our only option.
If you decide you want to work together, if it seems like you realize how much I help you, and how much you help me, maybe we'll be able to work things out, but until then I think this is best for both of us.
Don't call, I won't answer and if you see me hanging out with other states, please don't interrupt us. Maybe they will be more interested in supporting me than you have ever been.

I listen to a lot of podcasts, so I thought I'd make a list of some of my favorites and maybe a little bit about why I like each one.
Jordan, Jesse, Go! -Hosted by Jesse Thorn and Jordan Morris, this is one of the few free-form podcasts that is actually listenable. Full of obscure pop-culture references and running jokes, it's a lot of fun.
Risk! -Created by Kevin Allison (comedian from The State), Risk! features celebrities and everyday people sharing crazy, scary and sometimes unbelievable stories. It's a lesson in both the craft of storytelling and the weirdness of the human experience.
WTF with Marc Maron - There's a reason this is one of the most popular podcasts. Maron's introspection and self-deprecating wit adds a new layer to all of his interviews with comedians, comics and celebrities. He achieves a level of intimacy in his interviews that many trained journalists never learn.
Slate Podcasts - I could probably spend a whole post just talking about these. Slate was one of the first publications to go all-in on podcasting programming and it shows. With tight, intelligent and interesting conversations covering a wide variety of subjects including politics, culture, sports, women's issues, books and others, Slate has it covered. Here are a few of their 'casts.
- Political Gabfest
- Culture Gabfest
- Hang Up and Listen
- XX Factor (every other week)
- and more.
This American Life - Another obligatory podcast. Ira Glass is one of the best and it shows with every show.
Radiolab - Forget the interesting stories and interviews, I could listen to this for the sound design alone.
Filmspotting - For movie fans, this is an intelligent and engaging look at both the newest blockbusters, indie releases and also looks back at some of the best movies from the past. They've also started an occasional mini-show which covers the newest streaming movies from Netflix, Hulu and more.
On The Media -As a journalism/media nerd, I love this show. Bob Garfield and Brooke Gladstone deftly discuss and examine the hot media topics of the week while pulling no punches. They also monitor the cutting-edge changes in technology that affect the way we understand and take in media and news. Great show.
Doug Loves Movies - Another movie podcast, This classic humor 'cast from Doug Benson features him and his comedian and celebrity friends discussing and joking about films and playing fun movie-related games.
The Nerdist - Chris Hardwick, Matt Mira and Jonah Ray host this romp through nerd-dom discussing a wide range of things from movies to TV, video games and more. They also have a variety of celebrity guests.
Left, Right and Center (KCRW) - At a brisk 30 minutes, this is one of the better political roundtable shows. Featuring commentators from a variety of political discussion, the show prides itself on grown-up and polite discussions. Mostly free of talking-points and empty rhetoric, it's a thought-provoking listen.
99% Invisible - Created by Roman Mars, this brief (but always great) show focuses each episode on an amazing, but often overlook masterpiece of design, ranging from technology to architecture.

"John Wood the Elder had an extraordinary vision for Bath. Wood drank in the latest architectural ideas while working in London in his teens and early twenties. Passionately embracing Palladianism, he returned to Bath in 1727 afire to transform his native city. The young man's imagination was feeding on the grandeur of Imperial Rome. Time and again his grand plans were thwarted or cut down to more practical size. He nonetheless imprinted his vision on Bath. He brought from London the concept of spacious squares and imposing terraces. His developments - the Parades and Queen Square - set a fashion in Bath that others were to emulate across the growing Georgian city.
The distinction of the Circus can scarcely be overstated. It was a powerfully original concept in urban planning. It is the centrepiece of an influential assemblage of square, circus and crescent. Although Wood brought the square from London to Bath, the circus and crescent were exported from Bath to London and elsewhere. The work of the Woods had a considerable impact on the British urban landscape."

96 Tears to be Dedicated as Bay City's Official Rock and Roll Song
By Cole Waterman
BAY CITY, MI — Nearly five decades since a group of first generation Americans recorded one of the best known and most influential songs of the 1960s in a humble, homespun studio in Bay City, the ditty is garnering recognition in its hometown.
Equal parts protopunk and garage rock anthem, Question Mark and the Mysterians' "96 Tears" is to be declared Bay City's official rock 'n' roll song by Mayor Christopher Shannon at 7 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 14, at Old City Hall, 814 Saginaw St. Following the dedication, the band is expected to perform at the downtown Bay City eatery.
Shannon said he has been in discussions with local music historian Gary Johnson for some time regarding how to properly give the song some recognition.

Crossing Borders with Roy Hockley
For a ten-year period from 1958 through 1967, the top nightspot in Bay City, Michigan, was Art Narlock's Empire Show Bar. The biggest attraction at the club during the 1960's was a Canadian rock and roll band billed as Roy Hockley and The Chessmen featuring Joie Jaye. Playing six nights per week, the band routinely packed the house at the Show Bar before Narlock's business began to crumble due to financial difficulties that were rumored to be the result of gambling debts caused by heavy losses at Las Vegas casinos.

(v.) To line up. In computer science, queuing refers to lining up jobs for a computer or device. For example, if you want to print a number of documents, the operating system (or a special print spooler) queues the documents by placing them in a special area called a print buffer or print queue. The printer then pulls the documents off the queue one at a time. Another term for this is print spooling .
The order in which a system executes jobs on a queue depends on the priority system being used. Most commonly, jobs are executed in the same order that they were placed on the queue, but in some schemes certain jobs are given higher priority.
(n.) (1)A group of jobs waiting to be executed.
(2) In programming, a queue is a data structure in which elements are removed in the same order they were entered. This is often referred to as FIFO (first in, first out). In contrast, a stackis a data structure in which elements are removed in the reverse order from which they were entered. This is referred to as LIFO (last in, first out).

After a certain time in a relationship, women start to equate what she knows about her guy with intimacy. Apparently, knowing all the little details about each other brings you closer together as a couple. Most men correctly identify this instinct as "nosiness."
There are some things that she doesn't need to know: Obviously, details such as the fact that you did time for murder might need to be dealt with sooner rather than later, but there's a host of other little facts that can be safely swept under the carpet. And for your own peace of mind, it's best if you encourage her to keep some of her stories there as well.
Note that we're not condoning outright lying, but it's often better to duck and dive. Skim over details, downplay the facts, or distract her with something shiny -- anything to keep sensitive information under wraps. More often than not, though, it's just a case of you keeping quiet when a stupid thought pops into your head. We'd like to remind you about all the things she doesn't need to know, just so you can work on keeping that yapper shut and keeping your relationship on calm waters.

There's something deep inside a man that means he can't help but boast. Think about how we were as little kids, always bragging who scored the most goals, who had the best bike, whose dad was the toughest. It's something we men never quite grow out of

Did Several Moons Collide to Make Saturn's Titan?
"The Origin of Titan—So Big … So Alone." That was the playful title of a talk given here yesterday at the annual meeting of the Division for Planetary Sciences. The gist? Saturn's relatively huge moon Titan, which orbits unaccompanied by the usual retinue of similar-sized moons, started out as three or four standard-issue satellites of the ringed planet that ran amok, collided, and merged into one huge moon and a few scraps of debris.
Titan is "arguably the solar system's most unusual satellite," said the speaker, planetary dynamicist Douglas Hamilton of the University of Maryland, College Park. That's because the standard model for producing satellites starts with a flat disk of primordial debris that eventually agglomerates into a regular system of several similar-size moons in roughly equally spaced orbits. This works fine for forming the nicely regular Jupiter satellite system, but Saturn's is anything but regular. Titan is dominatingly big, having almost twice the mass of Earth's moon and comprising 90% of the mass in orbit about Saturn. Titan is alone, orbiting in a million-kilometer gap bounded by tiny moons. And Titan's orbit is odd: It is slightly elliptical rather than nearly circular and is tilted with respect to Saturn's equator. With all those oddities, Hamilton said, "the biggest mystery is how it came to be in the first place."

I'm currently studying IT in my second year at Reading University and have the option of doing a year in industry before completing my degree.
As IT in education is a passion of mine - and was my job both as technician and NM in two comprehensive schools before coming to Uni - I would be interested in gaining more experience / refreshing my knowledge.
I am looking for a year-long placement starting July/Aug 2010. At the moment I am scouting for options, so if anyone knows of anything I'd love to hear from you!

Saiga AntelopeSaiga tataricaThe saiga is a critically endangered antelope which originally inhabited a vast area of the Eurasian steppe zone from the foothills of the Carpathians and Caucasus into Dzungaria and Mongolia. They also lived in North America during the Pleistocene.Saigas form very large herds that graze in semi-desert steppes eating several species of plants, including some that are poisonous to other animals. They can cover considerable distances and swim across rivers, but they avoid steep or rugged areas. The mating season starts in November, when stags fight for the possession of females. The winner leads a herd of 5-50 females. In springtime the mother gives birth to, in two thirds of all cases two, or in one third, one single foal.Facts | Photo © Xavier Bayod
Also, the large, humped nose is used to filter the dusty air and warm the air before it gets to the lungs in the winter.
So odd but at the same time awesome.
