China Public Administration
Level: Postgraduate coursework
As the number of Australian corporations operating in China has increased, so too has Chinese investment in Australia, creating complex settings for both business and government models across the two nations. The growing social and economic interaction between Australia and China, and between China's state and society, has created a need for new expertise across these divides.
You will study public administration and business management theory and practice as applied to China. With a compulsory semester-long internship in China for domestic students (as well as international students who are not China-based), and a work placement in Australia for China-based candidates, you can enhance core understandings with real-world experience of public administration and business operations while building new contacts internationally.

I love dogs so much oh my god
(Source: lucas-com-k)
They have a long history despite the fact they know one another for only a few years. It all began in 1937 with a love potion slipped in Cedric's drink by a vicious mind and by Seamus taking his chance for silly action he was so used to. Since the day their lips locked though, something grew, something wonderful. At first, it was hard for either of them; Cedric was struggling with what he felt, Seamus - with the continuous attraction that seemed not to go away. Dark halls, chocolate eclairs, libraries, quiet pleas and eventually they decided to give into that incredible and confusing thing that they felt, no matter how the world, that had changed with the timewarp, would take the tight relationship of the two boys.
And yet, there was a secret in the loom and Cedric knew nothing of it, increased worries shadowing his mind and heart with the reoccurring disappearances of Seamus, only to return weary, plucked, pale. It did not take too long and eventually, through nightmares and worries, old and dusty leaves of books, Cedric's mind found out the truth. Despite Seamus' worries and beliefs, Cedric accepted the monstrous illness that coursed through the bloodstream of then still Slytherin student. From there on, however, he also took stance, tried to help and the things seemed to have some hope, as much of pain as they caused for both.
Then a year of haze and confusion. Cedric's attempts to become an animagus and Seamus' slip-up as he cornered another guy.
It planted a seed of fear, uncertainty in Cedric's heart.
Numerous tries, days spent together and not, until a certain day which ripped both of their hearts. Cedric told it to be for the best, hoping to move on. Seamus, he could never imagine how to live by moving on. Two wounded wolves, trying to lick their wounds but not realizing that their own, lone attempts were of no good.
Friendship was if a pact, an attempt to move on but without letting the other disappear from their lives; they couldn't, and neither realized that it was an agreement doomed to fail, strong emotions still burning in soft glow of coal where once a blaze of white-burning fire lied. And yet…. the coal was strong, even stronger than the flame that had seemingly started to disappear in at least one of the hearts involved. Whiskey-addition to the soft ambers of the love that still lingered, and a night of friends turned into a moment of old lovers, the heated kisses so natural, so missed, so… needed.
A conflict arose.
A friendship was lost.
A chance occurred.
One dark night in which everything could have collapsed and crumbled, they met, and under the dark sky, in the shadows of the large trees and the gates of Hogwarts, they came to agree once more, but without a lie, without hiding anymore, because it was too hard and it had been too long. New start was made and slowly the steps taken towards exploring and understanding how does it work that, no matter the fears and doubts, the softer emotions continued and how come the presence of a certain person can weight out the presence of the whole world.
- written by Xers, 28/11/13
Seamus, stop. You're making Cedric hyperventilate.
You can always go back to your soulmate, that's what makes them a soulmate.

Václav Havel, Dissident and President, dies
19.12.2011 / 09:38
With deep sorrow, the Embassy of the Czech Republic to the Republic of Poland, regrets to inform of the death of Václav Havel, writer and dramatist, one of the first spokesmen for the Charter 77 human rights movement, a leading figure in the Velvet Revolution of 1989, the last president of Czechoslovakia and the first president of the Czech Republic.
The funeral mass for President Vaclav Havel will be held on Wednesday at the Field Cathedral of the Polish Army located on Długa Street 13/15 in Warsaw.
The Embassy of the Czech Republic would like to inform that a book of condolence will be available for signing
on Tuesday, December 20, from 2:00 pm until 4:00 pm,
on Wednesday, December 21, from 10:00 am until 12:00 pm and from 2:00 pm until 4:00 pm,
on Thursday, December 22, from 10:00 am until 2:00 pm
at the Embassy of the Czech Republic, Koszykowa Street 18, 00-555 Warsaw.
The Embassy of the Czech Republic appreciates all expressions of sympathy shown. Condolences may also be sent to email@example.com.
Statement of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Karel Schwarzenberg, on the death of Václav Havel
In Václav Havel we have lost a man who restored dignity to the Czech nation, a man who played a key role in winning freedom for our country in 1989. He was the most famous Czech, recognized all over the world. Unfortunately, he was more welcome and revered abroad than at home. Though a modest and shy man, he stood his ground when meeting and dealing with the world´s most powerful people. I only hope that at least now we will realize what a man we had in our fellow citizen, and will look up to him as an example.

Hello Katie West! So I had a dream last night that me and bendog were staying at your place in a post apocalyptic wasteland and in addition to Bruce and Logan you had a bear which I accidentally let out. I was making you a card to say thanks for your hospitality and Ben told me cards were irrelevant in a post-apocalyptic world but I felt bad about your bear. Sorry about that. I think he was ok.
I like that I was in your dream WITH MY CATS. That's so perfect. And my bear too, of course.

That adorable little imp Fievel Mousekewitz is back (An American Tail, An American Tail: Fievel Goes West). Plucky and determined, Fievel sets out on a quest for buried treasure, located under old New York City, where he and his family happily reside (although his sometimes-cranky father is a workaholic). Underground, Fievel meets a clandestine civilization of Native American mice, with a sweet little gal reminiscent of Pocahontas to provide a little romance to boot. This may be a direct-to-video offering, but the quality is topnotch--animation is rich and lush, and the original tunes are fun and catchy. Moreover, the movie stresses such welcome notions as loyalty, family, affection, friendship, honesty, and honor. There's even a modest but effectively put message about who really belongs in America. Dom DeLuise, Party of Five's Lacey Chabert, and David Carradine lend their voices to the production. (Ages 2 and older) --N.F. Mendoza

It's worse than Mutiny, Squire. It's murder. And if they're successful you won't see anything at all because you will be quite dead!
Squire Trelawney:
Captain, you were right and I was wrong. I own myself an ass and I await your orders.
Captain Smollet:
No more an ass than I, sir. This crew beats me!
Dr. Livesey:

Another day, another FanSided NHL season preview; today's examines the Detroit Red Wings, who won seven playoff games last season; however, after mounting a comeback from down 3-0 in the series against San Jose, they could not come away with game seven, and lost in the second round. The team still has plenty of veteran talent, and will look to continue their success from over the last two decades in this year and beyond. Over at Octopus Thrower, Monica McAlister previews 2011-2012 for her 'Wings; here's one excerpt from the defensive side of things.
New faces on defense are Mike Commodore and Ian White. Commodore had a falling out with the Columbus Blue Jackets and ended up being bought out of his contract. Which works out great for Detroit because now he is on our blueline rather than going against him. I'll be honest. I remember hating the guy in the 2009 Playoffs. Though I think him ending up on the Wings bench in that series may have just been some foreshadowing for where he was bound to end up. Ian White comes via the San Jose Sharks after they couldn't get him locked up before he hit the UFA market. One of the top sought after Free Agents this summer the Red Wings snagged him for the next two years.
To read the rest of this Red Wings' season outlook, click here.
The Devils will play Detroit once this year; strangely, it's the last road game of the season (and second-to-last game as well), on April 5th at Joe Louis Arena. Obviously, if the 'Devs are fighting for a playoff spot at this point, it will be a huge game. A rematch of the 1995 Stanley Cup Final is never unintriguing, and I have enjoyed watching probably the best two teams of the past two decades on the same ice. While I used to dislike those Red Wings, they are one of a few teams that still plays a classic, pre-lockout style of hockey, so I hope they continue to find success, at least in their own conference.
So, how about Detroit this season? In my opinion, while there is not a lot of youth that could potentially breakout, there is plenty of depth amongst the forwards, and the likes of Datsyuk and Zetterberg lead a very solid group. Defensively, Nicklas Lidstrom is back, and a couple of additions were made to an already strong blue line core. Jimmy Howard is back between the pipes for Detroit, and they have great trust in him as a quality goalkeeper; veteran Ty Conklin is a nice backup option as well.
Overall, while this team is relatively old, I do believe they are one of a handful that should be looking for a Stanley Cup championship this season. They should receive plenty of production spread out amongst their lines, and are solid special teams-wise as well. The Red Wings do not have too many weaknesses; while some could be concerned about tired legs towards the end of the season, this has not been an issue in the past. In the end, Detroit should be battling for a top seed in the Western Conference, and eventually for yet another chance to hoist the cup.
Tomorrow's preview features the Edmonton Oilers, who, after earning another first overall pick (selecting Ryan Nugent-Hopkins this time around), look to rise out of the NHL's basement this season.

Eastern Precast of Hatfield, Pa., an Oldcastle company, is using a new approach to designing plants: engineering them around the use of self-consolidating concrete (SCC). Under the leadership of Area Manager Chuck Galbraith, Oldcastle designers have incorporated SCC into practically all types of their precast production processes.
In the course of planning for a plant transformation, Oldcastle engineers have tailored their production layouts to three key elements of SCC workability.
Due to the use of SCC, workers minimize the use of vibrators, which can help to reduce the ambient noise level in the casting area. They're able to cut down on the amount of raking. Also, because SCC requires little handling during placement, crews use fewer tools and trowels. Finally, much less cleanup is required after a pour. In many cases, managers can reduce the size of crews, increase the number of elements cast during a single pour, or increase pour frequency.
Galbraith had set a production goal to maximize most precast plants' most common constraint: the capacity of the bucket hopper. To do this, the engineering team decided to employ two 4-cubic-yard pan mixers.
Another important production constraint that Galbraith wanted to minimize was mixer cleanout time. Designed to reduce any unnecessary labor costs, high-performance stainless-steel liners will lessen the need for cleanout at the end of the chute. Also, a second discharge chute was added so that a plant operator could direct material to a mobile concrete hauler.
The article includes a production checklist for an SCC-engineered plant.

Michael Saul Dell (born February 23, 1965) is an American business magnate and the founder and chief executive officer of Dell Inc. He is one of the richest people in the world, with a net worth of US$14 billion in 2010.
The son of an orthodontist and a stockbroker, Dell attended Herod Elementary School in Houston, Texas. In a bid to enter business early, he applied to take a high school equivalency exam at age eight. In his early teens, he invested his earnings from part-time jobs in stocks and precious metals.
Dell purchased his first calculator at age seven and encountered his first teletype machine in junior high, which he programmed after school. At age 15, after playing with computers at Radio Shack, he got his first computer, an Apple II, which he promptly disassembled to see how it worked. Dell attended Memorial High School in Houston, selling subscriptions to the Houston Post in the summer. While making cold calls, Dell observed that newlyweds and people moving into new homes were most likely to buy a subscription. He targeted this demographic group by collecting names from marriage and mortgage applications. Dell earned $18,000 that year, exceeding the annual income of his history and economics teacher.

Less likable Wallace Shawn has got some highly original thoughts to share on the debate. Here's a tease, do stay with me if it makes you giggle:
Understanding why Mitt Romney so decisively won the first presidential debate is as important as the fact that he did. Why? Because once we know the reasons, almost everything about President Barack Obama and this election becomes clear.
First, Obama lost because he, like virtually the entire left, lives in a left-wing bubble.
Come come now, Dennis. You know what they say about people living in glass bubbles, right? Continue reading »
Continue reading »
Yeah, I know, I've been gone for quite a few days now. Too much going on IRL I suppose.
I didn't want to write much about the debate because I felt it was hyper-analyzed as it was, far out of proportion to what it merited. Doesn't mean it wasn't an incredibly depressing sight to behold, though. I wasn't surprised by the over-the-top reactions on both sides–after a month where nothing went right for Mitt Romney, Republicans needed some kind of release, any kind, really. And Democrats who had seen nothing go wrong for quite some time were shocked by this sudden stumble. It wasn't disqualifying, but Obama's performance was dangerously inadequate, trying to feel his way around every answer. It had the feel of trying too hard to please too many groups of people.
OTOH, I thought Romney's performance wasn't that great outside of the stylistic realm, and the hyperbolic coverage since then has had more to do with how bad Obama was. Romney didn't really make much of a case for dumping Obama, though he put forward a better version of himself I suppose. I'm not sure it really matters if voters really see Mitt as a warm and cuddly moderate or a standard-issue conservative–as Jonathan Bernstein says, the out-party candidate doesn't matter all that much. All the bipartisanship stuff seemed silly to me, as every poll in recent times has shown the public seeing Obama as plenty bipartisan, perhaps even excessively so.
Still, it's hard to deny this is a momentum shift the wrong way, at the worst possible time. I have little doubt Romney will squander it–just wait until that famous Romney sense of humor kicks back in on the campaign trail!–but it's been lousy for morale to have the president get walked on this way, and perhaps meaningful on its own, too. My feelings toward the current president are, as they have long been, complicated. I deeply respect the man for just being willing to absorb so much abuse, dehumanizing abuse, most of which he can't do anything about, which he can't respond to. There have been moments of steely resolve in there, as this guy recounts, and the problem isn't "toughness" per se. But I find that I have increasingly less respect for the notion that politics is or should be completely civil, intellectual and high-minded, and Obama very much represents that model of politics to this day. It was an appealing model four years ago, but the limitations of it have become achingly clear, and Obama still hasn't quite managed to figure out what to do when that model doesn't work out. I don't know if that's what happened during the debate, but it's possible. I get a very Gary Hart-ish vibe from him at times, someone who just doesn't want to believe that politics are what they are.
In any event, when the dust settles, I suspect the following things will happen. Obama will win by about four points. Romney will have given the right an easy path to arguing the problem was that his failure was due to moving to the center, though that's a deeply ironic argument. Ryan will have a much different kind of stench to evade when he runs for president in four years. Romney's original instinct was undoubtedly correct–Obama will only lose if the public believes he is responsible for the economic collapse alone, and they don't. His debate performance didn't really make that more likely. It was tactically brilliant, but strategically suspect. After the dust settles, that's what I expect to see.
TPM's Senate Scoreboard today shows the Democrats gaining one seat out of this election cycle, though Republicans are trending the wrong way in the two big toss-ups at the moment (i.e. Nevada and Montana) and the one Repub-leaner in Arizona. Still, a net gain this year would be an astonishing outcome for Democrats, a sign of a clear rejection of Republicans' philosophy around the country. As exemplified, of course, by Mitt Romney, who's been a major drag on those races.
Keep this in mind when you read about Republicans fretting about whether to stop funding Romney and put the money into Senate races instead. This is putting the cart before the horse–the reason these candidates are failing is because of Mitt Romney's awful campaign. If that campaign becomes starved for cash and starts to see defections, it will become even more of a drag on these candidates because they won't be better able to respond to Obama's campaign. At this point, I'm not sure whether that would be a desirable outcome–if Romney sinks too much, downballot Republicans might just abandon him entirely and do a triangulation sort of thing that could work in holding off losses. Recall, Democrats kept Congress despite McGovern's loss in 1972 largely by this very strategy.
Which brings us to the debates. I'm torn between rooting for Romney to make a significant/disqualifying mistake, which I think is possible (e.g. losing his composure, attacking too hard, or trying too hard to be likable and coming off creepy), and between rooting for something that can plausibly be spun by Republicans as a victory (or, more likely, a "game-changing historic victory, the first time a president has been outdebated since Jimmy Carter…" and so on) but is actually just bland and unremarkable and accomplishes little. Admittedly, the catharsis of seeing Romney get pasted would be gratifying, but the risk of the party cutting him loose seems more likely under those circumstances. If Romney fights to a limp tie, nothing changes and we're that much closer. That's what I'm rooting for tomorrow.
Mitt Romney plans to turn himself into a one-man truth squad during the first presidential debate next week, casting President Barack Obama as someone who can't be trusted to stick to the facts or keep his promises.Lol.
I'm actually a little more sympathetic to Conor Friersdorf than this (though I am assuredly not a fan). It's hard for antiwar people to find a home within the two party system we have, and Obama is uniquely susceptible to criticism on foreign and national security issues because those policies are largely his alone. It's difficult to know exactly how much blame to affix to Obama for certain domestic disappointments or successes because separating his role from that of Congress is tricky–we call it "Obamacare" but it's equally as much "Reidcare" or "Pelosicare" (and quite possibly more accurate to use those labels, since Reid was almost LBJ-esque getting the bill through the Senate, and Pelosi's role in passing it was no less impressive). On some domestic bills it's easier than others, but it's complicated in most domestic bills while aside from a few Congressional actions on Guantanamo and the loathsome NDAA, Obama owns just about everything his Administration has done in FP/national security areas. His record is pretty lousy to us civil libertarians, no doubt about it, and just about the only argument you can use is the one that he faces political constraints on his actions. Which is true, he does face constraints in this as well as every other area. But my basic take on this is that Obama's foreign policy was designed to be popular with the public while avoiding the expenditure of any political capital that might be needed on domestic matters. And that it was. He could easily have thrown the civil libertarians a few bones here and there, struck a better balance, but one of the more persistent facts of first term Obama was a consistent refusal to take the morale of his base in pushing the course he thought was politically advantageous (to do so would undoubtedly have been "small" and "petty"), usually in hopes of striking some sort of rare bipartisan comity or settlement. Sometimes he was right about those choices but usually not, it cost him big, and I hope he's learned his lesson. I think maybe he has.
But just because Obama has been bad on these issues doesn't mean Romney wouldn't be substantially worse:
Last December, Mr. Romney was asked about waterboarding at a town-hall meeting in Charleston. He replied that he would "do what is essential to protect the lives of the American people" but would not list "for our enemies around the world" what techniques the United States would use.
Mr. Romney also declared that he would "not authorize torture." At the news conference afterward, a reporter pressed him to say whether he thought waterboarding was torture, and Mr. Romney replied, "I don't."
That comment appeared to align Mr. Romney with a practice by the executive branch, under President Bush, of defining torture narrowly and saying the harsh treatment it inflicted on detainees fell short of that level. By contrast, Mr. Obama has embraced a more expansive conception of the suffering that is off-limits.
"Waterboarding is torture," Mr. Obama said in November. "It's contrary to America's traditions. It's contrary to our ideals. That's not who we are. That's not how we operate. We don't need it in order to prosecute the war on terrorism. And we did the right thing by ending that practice. If we want to lead around the world, part of our leadership is setting a good example."
Ending torture was a big early step forward on civil liberties. At this point, it looks as though it might be the last big step forward too, at least in the first term. Given how much Democrats developed their case against Bush on security grounds in 2007/2008, that's sad. But there is little ambiguity that Romney's Dan Senor-led national security team wants to undo even that one solitary achievement (incidentally, just imagine reading this in the Times a year from now: "Romney National Security Adviser Dan Senor indicated that a second surge in the Iran conflict has not been ruled out."). Plus, the article indicates they would probably push even further than Bush did in terms of torture. That's bad. Doesn't undo that pretty much every other decision Obama's made in this particular area has been less than ideal, but losing the only one that's any good is not a positive, and for a civil libertarian that might be what you'd call a VOTING ISSUE. While the Nader types hate the idea that they're only helping Republicans with their votes (and make no mistake, despite the difference in ideology, that's what Friersdorf is), it's impossible to argue that they're doing anything else short-term. Yeah, the common arguments about "changing the paradigm" and such might or might not happen in the long term, but to quote Keynes, in the long term we'll all be dead. And given Mitt Romney's excellent diplomacy skills, the long term might not be so far off…

The next chapter
by: Marilyn Farrell
I love a good story. I love movies that tell a good story. Stories abound. The power of sharing a fun thing that happened in one's day is the stuff that friendships and family are built upon.
Where else do we learn that we are not the only ones in the world who has done a dumb thing, suffered a mistaken impulse or had trouble befall us?
Where else would we learn about "snipe hunts" or the perils of licking a frozen metal pole in the middle of winter or volunteering to "see stars up a coat sleeve"?
Who would have ever guessed that I would need to know how to pencil on my eyebrows when I had such thick dark ones in adolescence? Or that forgetfulness gets aggravatingly common as one ages? Or that one can survive — even thrive — after the loss of a spouse or a life-threatening illness?
Stories reveal that courage really is in the day-to-day ability to make the most of one's moments in life.
An unfinished book
Stories that others share with me give me confidence; I too can hope that in the future I will see the humor in the most humiliating of happenstances. Heck, at 25 years of age, I began writing a book titled My Life as a Klutz so that I had a way to "use" my mishaps for something other than humiliation.
I love the stories others tell on themselves that are perfect fodder for my book. And I thought only I could befuddle myself in such embarrassing ways. It's one of the things I like best about dinner conversations here. There are so many people here willing to share their embarrassing moments.
I also love the coincidences that make my world feel smaller and friendlier—those chance coincidences that again and again result in my meeting long lost friends in an airport in a foreign country. Those are the stories I love reliving in the sharing.
I just returned from a cousins' reunion, a first for that side of the family. We had had limited contact as young children. And then in our parenting years, we were too busy to travel for family get-togethers. So our children are strangers to their cousins and we to them and their children. We spent four days sharing our individual family stories, our parents gone but the insights were fertile ground for discussion. It was the stories that will linger pleasantly and create a new bond beyond the title "cousin." Each of us understands, and appreciates better, our cousins' growing up.
Stories help me find perspective. Sometimes they offer a new way to think about things or a way to find a silver lining in most any circumstance.
The next chapter
For the past five years, I have shared my thoughts and experiences of life in a retirement community so that others could see, from at least one point of view, that living in a "home" was not about narrowing one's life.
Instead it has been an opportunity for me to spread my wings and enjoy making new friends with new stories to appreciate.
I hope my stories have been helpful, and given you a different perspective of what retirement can be. For those of you who have commented on my blogs and shared your own ideas with me, thank you!
For now I am putting down my pen in trade for a TV script and video-editing equipment so that I might enhance the sharing of events and ideas within the community. I have never been a "movie director," but have always wanted to try it. I get to work with a team of resident volunteers who are committed to producing the media that airs on our internal TV station.
I have a sneaky suspicion that I will get some more stories for my book long before I get an Oscar. But if my story line holds true to form, I will be gifted with a lot of laughs on the retelling.

Charlotte, NC (SportsNetwork.com) - The Carolina Panthers signed linebacker Dan Connor on Wednesday.
Connor returns to the team that selected him in the third round of the 2008 NFL draft to provide depth at linebacker for a Carolina squad that has won five straight.
The six-year veteran began the season as the starting middle linebacker for the New York Giants, but suffered a neck injury in the season opener against Dallas. He was waived by the Giants on November 4.
Connor has played in 57 career games with 27 starts, recording one sack and 124 tackles with Carolina, Dallas, and New York. He spent his first four seasons with the Panthers.
In other moves, the Panthers signed rookie offensive guard Travis Bond from Minnesota's practice squad, waived offensive guard Sione Fua and placed cornerback James Dockery on injured reserve with a left shoulder injury.
Dockery played in five games this season, recording five tackles.

on diversion and 22 percent having patients boarded, awaiting transfer to an inpatient bed (Schneider et al., 2003). However, because most communities and states do not systematically monitor rates of ambulance diversion and the boarding of inpatients in hospital EDs, the extent of these problems and the magnitude of their impact on access to care are largely unknown.
Most studies of boarding and diversion do not specifically address pediatric patients, so the extent to which these problems affect such patients is also unknown. However, a Government Accountability Office (GAO) study found that ED staff have less difficulty transferring patients to pediatric beds than to adult critical care or other adult inpatient beds (GAO, 2003). Some children's hospitals report that they do not go on diversion because there is no alternative source of care for critically injured or ill pediatric patients. However, ED crowding is at least anecdotally an important problem for many children's hospitals. And in hospitals where adults and children are treated in the same ED, the hospital's diversion status will affect pediatric and adult patients equally.
Another challenge to the system is that hospitals are finding it increasingly difficult to identify key specialists, such as neurosurgeons and orthopedists, who are able and willing to take call to treat emergency cases. Surgical specialists typically do not work in the ED full time, but serve in an on-call capacity in case they are needed. Surveys confirm that the availability of on-call specialists, including pediatric specialists, in many areas is rapidly eroding or is already inadequate to meet patients' needs (AAP, 2003; ACEP, 2004; Vanlandingham et al., 2005), and that the problem is worsening (Green et al., 2005; O'Malley et al., 2005).
The role of the emergency care system as a safety net provider also takes a toll. Emergency care providers are the providers of last resort for millions of patients who are uninsured or lack adequate access to care from community providers. Hospitals on the front lines of safety net care encounter patients with intractable social problems, complications resulting from substance abuse or mental illness, and exacerbations of chronic diseases because of inadequate primary care and lack of adherence to medical instructions. Much of the service provided to these difficult patients is compensated poorly or not at all. This care places tremendous financial pressure on safety net hospitals, many of which have closed or are in danger of doing so as a result.
It is within this difficult environment that the emergency care system struggles to meet the unique needs of pediatric patients.
One way to assess how the current emergency care system is meeting the needs of children is to consider each of the six quality aims for care

iPad teardown reveals a 'gorgeous,' symmetrical interiorSoon after its release on Saturday, iFixit began their teardown of Apple's new iPad, and discovered a hidden symmetry inside that the solutions provider said is "there for aesthetics alone." The peek inside also revealed that both the NAND flash and custom Apple A4 processor were manufactured by Samsung.
Calling the machine "gorgeous" when disassembled, iFixit said the device uses more epoxy to secure chips to the board than they've ever seen before.
"This indicates that it is designed to be even more rugged than their laptops," they said. The company noted that taking off the display of the iPad may break off some tabs.
As was revealed in photos release by the FCC on Friday, a majority of the inside of the iPad is taken up by its lithium-ion battery. The battery isn't soldered onto the motherboard, which means replacement is possible if a battery goes bad.
But in a change from the FCC photos, Toshiba does not provide the flash memory for the production units. The model obtained by iFixit has its NAND flash from Samsung.
Also "markedly" different, they said, is the logic board, which reveals that Apple's A4 processor is likely being manufactured by Samsung. The DRAM was created in January while the processor die was created in the first week of February.
The teardown found that the display assembly and rear case each weigh 350 grams, giving the device 50-50 weight distribution. The display includes a marking referencing a patent from Honeywell.
The logic board was made by AT&S, which is noteworthy because the company said they haven't seen Apple's printed circuit board manufacturers brand their boards. Also unique, the main board is secured with T3 Torx screws with a bit smaller than Apple has ever used.
The teardown also found that the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth card, which is the same as is found in the third-generation iPod touch, is integrated into the dock connector cable. The iPad also has a speaker assembly that was found to be larger than expected.
For more details and photos, see the full step-by-step teardown at iFixit.

"Motorola Karma QA1 Review"The good: This is a great phone!! I highly recommend it if you hate putting your phone on lock manually or love to text message! Great colors on the screen, very clear pictures! The bad: Texting makes a metal kind of noise but it's not too bad! Summary: The Motorola Karma is a great phone. I love how you can slide it closed and put it in your pocket and not have to worry about it calling anyone on it's own. I hated my old phone because it would always call random people from being thrown around... more...

Middle-aged, homeless and estranged from his son's mother, William Leith decides it's time to tackle his screwed-up life head on. His problem is that he discovers the whole world to be suffering a comparable meltdown and even a strict regime of porridge, Pilates and brisk, endorphin-inducing walks seems unable to dispel Leith's anxiety. As he endeavours to understand where it all went wrong, Leith's comic ramblings cover everything from his past loves and hedonistic youth to the economic crisis and 9/11, via female hair removal and vacuum cleaners. Leith is a clever social commentator who, in this moving memoir, throws light on the paradoxes of 21st-century living like a modern-day Shakespearean fool.

Nice to see Louisville, KY picking up the emocore banner, heavy as the Iwo Jima flag and languishing for years as the proverbial Kids Today labor under the impression that emo begins and ends with the Promise Ring (or the Blood Brothers, for that matter). Emocore used to mean Nation of Ulysses, hose.got.cable, Hoover, Shotmaker and all those other acts on Old Glory Records. Those motherfuckers screamed liked they were on fire, their SGs moaned accordingly and the late, lamented Number Two was the fanzine to read. (Keith Werwa, where are you?) Do you remember when? Yeah, so do I.
Anyway, speaking of Promise Ring, this monster is on the label that made those cats famous, and along with fellow Louisvillian anvil-heavy emo revivalists Breather Resist (who took their name from a Hoover song), Lords seem to be a brutal atonement for years of lite emo Jade Tree gave us. Chris Owens' growl ?°»n' howl delivers like Domino's, his guitar gouging sharp, nasty cuts into the songs. Their trio-ness is somehow refreshing—no need for a singer who can't pull his instrumental weight here. Swords is pure blasting cap-core, a sitcom length clobber that drop-kicks you into '93 while pulling you back to the here-and-now of sweaty basement shows and scenes that never, ever die.
