To mark IDC Herzliya's 20th anniversary, we spent a day following Prof. Uriel Reichman, IDC's founder and president, and Jonathan Davis, VP for External Relations, around its delightful campus.
Back in the early 1970's I served as an Air Force intelligence officer at Udorn Air Base in Thailand, home of the 432nd Tactical Fighter Reconnaissance Wing. Most of the bombing in 1970 and 1971 focused on Laos, especially the Ho Chi Minh Trail logistical network down which Hanoi funneled troops and supplies onto South Vietnam's battlefields. Occasionally, the 432nd's F-4 Phantoms would "go North," striking targets inside North Vietnam.
Then it was time to "kick the tires and light the fires" – pilot talk for taking the fight to the enemy.
On Nov. 20-21, 1970, the United States undertook the Son Tay Raid, an attempt to rescue American prisoners of war thought to be held in a prison 26 miles north of Hanoi. It was an awesomely planned and nearly perfectly executed mission. That night, Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Service helicopters flew from Udorn across Laos deep into North Vietnam to deposit Army Special Forces teams on the Son Tay Prison while also annihilating a North Vietnamese sapper training camp located a quarter mile away.
Meanwhile, Air Force F-105 Wild Weasels blasted surface-to-air missile sites while reconnaissance versions of the Phantom flew over Hanoi firing flash cartridges to confound the enemy while Navy A-7s flew along the seam in radar coverage between China and North Vietnam, further confusing North Vietnam's air defenses.
While no POWs were found, we got to Son Tay, kept a force on the ground for an hour, wreaked havoc on Hanoi's air defenses, and left behind a lot of dead North Vietnamese sappers and prison guards.
We also made an important strategic statement. Despite our steady withdrawal from South Vietnam, the United States still could "have its way" with North Vietnam. Hanoi reacted by moving all American POWs into two prison camps inside Hanoi. Additionally, many POWs reported after their release in 1973 that conditions improved as abuse and torture, both horrific and frequent prior to that time, dropped off considerably. Message sent, message received.
This past Sept. 6, the Israeli Air Force, most likely with U.S. knowledge and possibly help, may have sent a similar message to Tehran via Syria. On that day Israeli F-15 and F-16 fighter-bombers blasted targets near Dayr az-Zawr in a raid reminiscent of the 1981 attack on Iraq's Osirak nuclear bomb-making facility in Baghdad. Both Israel and Syria remained mute in the immediate aftermath of the attack.
For Israel, silence is simply good policy. Syria, on the other hand, is following the old Soviet Union's example of not commenting on things that are embarrassing. From 1956 to May 1960, the United States routinely flew U-2 reconnaissance flights over the USSR. Try as they did, Soviet MiGs could not reach the U-2's operating altitudes. Consequently, Nikita Khrushchev said nothing until May 1960 when SA-2 surface-to-air missiles finally downed a U-2 over Sverdlovsk, smack in the middle of the Ural Mountains.
By then, U.S. intelligence knew Soviet boasts about ICBM superiority were groundless. In October 1963, knowing the Red Bear's nuclear legs consisted of borsch made it much easier for President John F. Kennedy to stand up to Khrushchev during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Defense expert Jack Wheeler thinks the Israeli raid may well have destroyed nuclear material provided by North Korea for a possible dirty bomb, or a cache of Zilzal surface-to-surface missiles recently sent from Iran for Syria's use in a future attack on Israel, or possibly the IAF hit that stockpile of chem/bio weapons Iraq sent to Syria just prior to the initiation of Operation Iraqi Freedom. What was hit is not so important as the hit itself.
For the past two years, Syria has been building its air defense system with the latest in Russian-built surface-to-air missiles, air defense radars, and command and control systems. Evidently, the Syrians never knew the Israelis were overhead until the bombs detonated. Iran, like Syria, has invested heavily in Russian air defense systems, including the latest in surface-to-air missiles supposedly capable of bringing down the most stealthy of U.S. aircraft – planes like the F-117s and B-2 bombers.
While F-16s are stealthy, reportedly giving off the radar return of a small bird, F-15s are large hunks of metal dependent on speed, maneuver, electronic counter measures and their inherent dog-fighting capabilities for survival. Both Israeli warplanes evidently "had their way" with Syria. Imagine, what U.S. forces could do with our F-16s and F-15s, not to mention Navy F/A-18E fighter-bombers and U.S. Air Force F-117s and B-2s.
Sun Tzu, the fifth century B.C. Chinese scholar-warrior, advised that the greatest skill is to subdue your enemy without fighting. Hopefully – but doubtfully – Tehran will take note and curb its nuclear weapons development program. If not, it may be time to "kick the tires and light the fires."

As Israel celebrated its 60th anniversary last month, there were the usual voices raised accusing Israel of victimizing the Palestinian Arabs and "running them out" of the Jewish state.
Most Christians, including many (if not a majority of) members of the mainline Protestant denominations, support Israel. Nevertheless, the Christian Left persists with its sometimes vehemently anti-Israeli and unabashedly pro-Palestinian sentiments. Why?
For a generation after World War II, particularly given revelations of the Holocaust, most American Protestant denominations embraced a more tolerant attitude toward Jews. Since the 1980's, however, there has been a marked shift, evident in the anti-Israel positions adopted by more liberal denominations like the United Methodist Church (UMC); the Evangelical Presbyterian Church in America (ELCA); the Episcopal Church in the United States of America (ECUSA); and the Presbyterian Church U.S.A. (PCUSA).
The American left clings to the myth that the antiwar movement ended the U.S. war in Vietnam. In fact, the antiwar movement failed to prompt any substantive changes in U.S. war policy.
According to recent intelligence reports, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) killed 40 Hamas terrorists in Gaza last month without inflicting a single civilian casualty. In fact, over the past five years, collateral damage and civilian casualties caused by Israeli military actions have decreased dramatically. Meanwhile, Hamas continues to fire Kassam rockets indiscriminately at the working-class town of Sderot and into the suburban areas of the nearby seaside city of Ashkelon.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Keywords: Nature'
The final installment of an unprecedented intercultural dialogue.
Other Press is proud to present the fifth volume in its groundbreaking Keywords series. Scholars from Africa, the Arab World, China, Europe, India, and the United States share their vision of how nature has been shaped by the cultural and philosophical context of their respective societies, and affected by modernization and Western technology.
The Indian and African texts place a particular emphasis on the tension between Western influence, which radically transforms nature, and their traditional approach where nature is perceived as an intrinsic part of the human community. The Arabic philosophical and religious tradition frames the world as a realm of divine ordinances including natural science, physics, and mathematics. In China the word Zi Ran does not refer to the concept of nature as an abstract category but as an expression entrenched in everyday speech evolving with the mutation of Chinese philosophical ideas. In Europe, the modern definition of nature can be coined by a paradox: nature is what we believe to be true and what we acknowledge not to know, both a true fiction and a necessary fable. The American essay reveals that nature in the United States has been a dominant theme in history, art, and literature and has been associated with the image of pristine wilderness. The ecological crisis of recent times has brought back this romantic notion, which has wide political and religious consequences. At the eve of the twenty-first century, the Western perception of nature has grown closer to the traditional perspectives of the East. These essays offer an opportunity to rethink the implications of this interesting reversal.
This volume includes essays by Chen Shaoming, Zhongshan University, Canton; Nader El-Bizri, University of Cambridge and Institute of Ismaili Studies, London; Leo Marx, Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Vinay Kumar Srivastava, Delhi University; Jean-Bernard Ouédraogo, Université de Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso; Pierre Zaoui, Université Paris X-Nanterre; with translations by Robert Bononno, Marolijn de Jager, and others.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Mutations'
"A city is a plane of tarmac with some red hot spots of intensity," Rem Koolhaas, the pathbreaking architect and author of such semiotically seminal books as Delirious New York and the more recent S, M, L, XL, remarked in 1969. More than 30 years later, there are more of those hot spots around the world than ever, and they're getting hotter every day. Globalization, standardization, and the high-speed innovations of our current information age are transforming urban centers from London to Los Angeles to Lagos, and more places are becoming more urban, and at a faster pace, than ever before.
Mutations is an eye-popping atlas-cum-analysis of this new urbanization, and much of it is composed of essays and meditations (from a variety of contributors) on the 21st-century international City (often un-)Beautiful. Most of them are written in language that will be familiar to readers of Koolhaas's past books: in other words, dense, abstract, and chock-full of references to Foucault, Deleuze, and Guattari. If you like that sort of deconstructivist yammering, great; if not, the major small-type essays are best sampled (or, better, skimmed) one at a time, interspersed with the many other more accessible elements of the book that truly do add up to a vivid and fascinating mosaic of postmodern urbanism.
From Koolhaas and Harvard Design School's Project on the City come two engrossing and wholly straightforward explorations: one of the Pearl River Delta, which China has designated as a zone of unrestricted capitalist experimentation, and whose five major urban centers have consequently exploded overnight in all sorts of instructive and often frightening ways; and another of the chaotic, congested and Blade Runneresque megalopolis of Lagos, Nigeria, whose patterns of growth, housing, and commerce defy all conventional wisdom on how cities should develop. There's also a bounty of excellent (and often astonishing) statistics on all aspects of urban growth; a "snapshots" section of phenomena from cities all over the globe; a completely spot-on (and unintentionally funny) analysis of the evolution of shopping as the last truly unifying urban public activity (and the subject of Koolhaas's next full-scale book); and a trenchant look at Kosovo as ground zero in the first major war of the Internet age. (It should be noted that there's a separate section on the U.S., which with all its soulless, tacky consumerist excess gets the drubbing it usually can expect from the European intelligentsia, although the irony here is that more and more of newly urban Europe is starting to look like newly urban America.)
The exhibit-quality photography throughout is great, and, as you could expect from this unofficial successor to S, M, L, XL, the design is satisfyingly outré, right down to its post-Warholian plastic yellow easy-wipe cover with glued-on mousepad. But for all of Mutations's rich trove of facts and insights, and the impression that its high-tech design gives of an ironic embrace of the new urbanization, its deeper tone is one of disappointment and loss. The spirit of Jane Jacobs resides here, with all its yearning for the quirky, quaint beauty of human-scaled townhouses and shops, sidewalks and byways, and for the precorporatized glamour of grand old towns like New York, London, Paris, and Shanghai, before such metallic nouveau hubs as Atlanta and Kuala Lumpur were ever on the world-commerce map. Mutations was written and compiled largely by architects, after all, who hate ugliness as much as the next guy, whatever they may claim otherwise; its precisely for that reason that this densely absorbing new compendium betrays its wistfulness as often as it promotes its own air of cool, ethnographic bemusement. --Timothy Murphy

Sustainable Environmental Technologies Corp. (OTCQB: SETS) (PINKSHEETS: SETS) and Cancen Oil Canada Inc. (TSX VENTURE: COI) signed a letter of intent agreement (LOI) dated April 5, 2012 for Cancen to acquire all of the outstanding shares of SET Corp, for US $34.4 million, to be paid by Cancen in cash, or a mixture of cash and the issuance of common shares of Cancen. As part of the proposed acquisition, Cancen would acquire SET Corps' wholly owned ProWater subsidiary; ProWater's Centerline SWD saltwater disposal systems and facilities in Utah and North Dakota; technologies including SET's MultiGen combined cooling, heating, power and water production and Centerline SWD water processing technologies; intellectual property and all other assets."The application of proven water treatment systems today is in high demand globally," said Keith Morlock, President of ProWater and V.P. of SET Corp. "Our ProWater Centerline SWD has innovative technologies and processes that increase efficiency and profitability, enabling us to better serve our customers and making us a very attractive oil field service vendor and acquisition target."To date, ProWater's focus has been directed to North American oil plays, such as the Bakken Shale. Morlock noted, "This acquisition will speed our expansion beyond the U.S., bringing Centerline SWD technologies into key areas in Canada to process the ever-growing volumes of wastewater and assure the continued supply of domestic petroleum products so desperately needed by both countries.""Acquiring SET Corp and ProWater is strategically advantageous as it gives Cancen Oil access to the U.S. oil and gas saltwater disposal well markets through their disposal facilities in North Dakota (Bakken Shale) and Utah," stated Frederick LaHaie, Cancen President and CEO. "ProWater's innovative Centerline SWD wastewater processing technologies are a valuable addition to our current SWD and other oil field production services. We believe the technologies can improve our efficiencies and bottom line."The ProWater Centerline SWD system is a fully modular, movable system that is built in climate-controlled facilities year round and quickly erected when and where needed. This is a key factor in locales such as the Bakken Shale where winter temperatures can reach -40° F (-40°C). This could eventually enable ProWater to bring a new facility online every 90 days.Bob Glaser, CEO of SET Corp, stated, "SET Corp and Cancen have differing, but complementary technologies for processing produced water from oil and gas wells that, when used together, will provide a significant competitive advantage for both of our organizations. Marrying SET Corp with Cancen provides us entrée to the Canadian market and Cancen's extensive customer base and resources. The acquisition will create a unified company with a much stronger service offering and market presence."Proposed TermsIn the event that Cancen shares are issued in connection with the proposed acquisition, the issue price per Cancen share will be determined as at the date Cancen and SET Corp enter into a definitive agreement, such issue price not to exceed a maximum of $1.00 per Cancen common share, subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange Inc.The completion of the proposed acquisition is subject to several conditions set out in the LOI, including approval by the directors of Cancen and SET Corp, entering into the definitive agreement, satisfactory completion of due diligence, shareholder approval, regulatory approval, including the prior approval of the TSX Venture Exchange Inc., and the completion by the Corporation of a financing of not less than CDN$50,000,000 (the "Financing"). An announcement regarding the details of the Financing will be made in due course.

SEC charges Morgan Keegan, two brokers with fraud
Send this to a friend
- Christopher Sheffield
- Memphis Business Journal
The Securities and Exchange Commission has accused Regions Financial Corp.'s brokerage arm Morgan Keegan & Co. Inc. and employees James Kelsoe and Thom Weller of fraud and has begun administrative proceedings that could result in sanctions and financial penalties.
Five states, including Alabama, Tennessee Kentucky, South Carolina and Mississippi, said they are starting administrative action procedures against Morgan Keegan and several employees.
In addition to Kelsoe and Weller, Tennessee said it was filing administrative actions against employees Brian B. Sullivan, Gary Stringer and Michele Wood. Sullivan is president and chief investment officer for Morgan Asset Management. Stringer is director of investments for the Wealth Management Services division of Morgan Keegan. Wood served as chief compliance officer of the Regions Morgan Keegan bond funds where the losses occurred.
The charges stem from actions Kelsoe and Weller allegedly undertook from January to July 2007 to misrepresent the net asset values, or NAV, for five Regions Morgan Keegan bond funds Kelsoe managed at the time.
By doing so, shares of the funds were sold to investors based on inflated prices, according to the SEC.
The funds were subsequently sold to Hyperion Brookfield Asset Management in 2008, but not before losing more than $5 billion in value.
The company has since faced an avalanche of investor lawsuits. Eighty-one cases have been heard to date, with claimants seeking a total of about $47.9 million in damages. In those cases, Morgan Keegan has paid a total of $8 million to claimants. Also, 121 cases seeking $39 million have been abandoned prior to hearing.

A judge sentenced a convicted rapist to 61 to 122 years in prison.
Arthur Henderson was convicted of two violent rapes in Ross Township and one in Hopewell Township, Beaver County. The attacks occurred last January at apartment complexes. In each attack, Henderson forced women back inside their apartments and raped them.
During his trial, Henderson acted as his own attorney. He argued that DNA evidence linking him to all three crimes did not prove he committed rape. However, the victims testified during the trial, detailing for the court how Henderson committed his crimes.
Because Henderson acted as his own attorney, all three victims were forced to answer questions from their attacker on the stand.
In court Tuesday, his victims faced him again. Without wavering, each one stood and asked the judge to give Henderson the maximum sentence. She did.
"I experienced hell. I was tortured and imprisoned in my own home, helpless and alone," said one victim.
"Now, I'm dealing with the stench of Arthur Henderson. Now I will live the rest of my life trying to get over this," said another victim.
One victim's father got up in court and told Henderson, "You are less than a man. You are not fit for society."
Prosecutor Laura Ditka said after the sentence, "I hope he never sees the light of day. He's about 40 years old and 60 years should ensure that."
All three victims also told the judge that the attacks will forever change them, but not define them.

Go, Krauser! Kill the evil bootleg!!!
Seriously, the research tips are a good thing - I've gotten my fair share of crap off ebay that I had thought was the real thing. Oddly enough, most of those sellers were in New York or Texas.

Forget about writing about it, I probably wouldn't even be able to make a coherent sentence :/
Good column though, and for the record, I didn't see the bootleg coming? D:

I've been lucky and managed to avoid getting any bootlegs so far. I do buy figures from eBay, and usually from Hong Kong sellers, but I try to do as much research as possible beforehand, and I tend to buy things like Figmas which are less likely to be bootlegged than PVCs.
Every time I see someone writing about a bootleg, it makes me feel paranoid, though. It's so easy to get duped, for both experienced and beginner collectors.

This is the exact reason I try and avoid eBay for figures. It seems like you just can't trust anyone anymore. Maybe I'm just becoming bitter too.
The real thing looked pretty awesome though, and I'm sure if you got what you were supposed to get, this column would have a completely different tone to it.
The POP I want desperately is the Smoker one, which unfortunately averages between $200-400 on eBay, and after this column even if I could afford that, I'd still be reluctant to buy it. Damn you Smoker!
On the bright side (if you can call it that ) you might have saved a lot of people from making similar purchases. Unfortunately it still sucks pretty bad for you.

Im at a bit of a loss here.
My POP Luffy has some of the signs of being a bootleg, but not all. Lets go down the list:
Can be disassembled: Check
Fist not in Hand: Check
Vest Covering (delightfully sexy) Abs: No Check
Paint Outside Lines: No Check
Blue on Eyes: Check
Based on this... yeah it's a bootleg. And I was supposedly buying it from one of the reputable sites for imports. [That site being HobbyLink Japan] Im still new to figures and such this puts a damper on me buying any for a while. Now I have to worry about my Sanji and Nami v2 being bootlegs also.
Oh look... Nami comes apart at the waist and you can take her skirt off too. I guess she's a bootleg as well.
Needless to say, I am thoroughly pissed.

You don't have to worry about your figures being bootleg especially if you ordered them from hlj. The real Luffy's arms come off so you can take his vest off and the real Nami comes apart so her skirt can come off. They just don't advertise these features for some reason.
edit: I don't have my Luffy on hand but my other figures such as Sogeking, kid Sanji, and kid Luffy all have blue in their eyes and I know they are all legit mainly because they all came with gold stickers. So that's another reason not to worry.

|This is kinda why I like buying figs in person at cons, you can examine them closely (or as best as you can) in person before you buy. Like my friend just dropped over $100 on a Hime from Princess Resurrection from Good Smile Company, and when you look up close at these things, you can see the amazing level of detail on the real-deal figs, it's probably pretty easy to spot fakes if you scrutinize. I think more fakes and shit-builds inhabit the smaller toys and gashapons, obviously since they're easier to churn out and the level of detail on the face won't be that high even in officials.

Whoa, now. It's definitely a plus to be able to see the figure you'll get before you buy, but from my experience buying stuff at cons you're more likely to get d*cked over on the price. If you're willing to spend that extra $20+ to make sure you absolutely positively for sure have the right product, that's your choice, but there are online stores that will charge fairly and be more than helpful if there were something wrong with your order.

the same thing happened to me recently. only with a keroro gunso figurine.
I thought I was buying some one's unwanted Keroro because the item location was in Canada and i had really REALLY wanted it and the price was about the normal price I payed for my Tamama and Dororo, so the thought of it being a bootleg never crossed my mind.
then after I got it. i had this unsettling feeling...like the color and material used was different. then took it to my friends house to compare it (she has the official one) and. yep. it was infact a bootleg.
then i went back and gave the seller a bad review and noticed that even though the items location said "canada" the seller's profile said he/she lived in Hong Kong D:
so kids, bootleggers can even hit you from all over the world.

Yeah I totally get what you mean, but I'm the type of person who'd prefer to just impulse buy when I can see it in front of me. I'm sure it's a thing with other people as well. So for me, buying figs and such is a more special occasion I reserve for conventions. And when you buy online, there's also still the cost of shipping and possibility of shipping damage (even if it is rather small.) The higher price is because they already had to ship it to the con, and because you have the convenience of having it right there, sometimes with a flat no-tax price. All depends on your personality/buying habits I suppose.

Like m_traydor said, I wouldn't worry about your figures if they came from HLJ, they are legit and Luffy's arms do come off in case you want to remove his vest for some reason. Franky's do the same and a lot of the POP line has removable heads so that you can put on their accessories. As for the fist not being in the hand, it may not actually touch the other palm, but it should be quite a bit closer to doing so than the bootleg featured in the article. Overall, as long as you have that gold sticker, you should be fine.

That totally sucks. I got some bootleg One Piece "Styling" Figures before.
I was just wondering. How did you get you start on ANN?
It's really cool that people get to write these articles on all things otaku from games to figures and from anime to manga.
Are you going to get the P.O.P. Brook ? Mine arrived like a month ago and I'm just bearly going to put up Review later today.
I was wonder just how do you get into writing columns for ANN.

Get a tight seal with caulk guns and caulk accessories
The process of caulking involves using caulk to seal up gaps in all kinds of projects. It can provide a water tight barrier, aid in insulation and help control noise travel. In order to get the best application, there are a number of tools you'll need. Start with a good caulking gun; when working properly, caulk beads come out smooth during the initial application. Sears has a number of great caulking tools to help you achieve the best seal possible.
One of the best caulk accessories to help you is a set of caulk finishing spatulas. These tools, unlike a scraper or putty knife, is specifically designed to reach corners or cracks. Certain sets contain a variety of lengths so you can comfortably reach the area that you applied your sealant. If you've ever just used your finger to finish your caulk line, you know what a mess it can be. These tools give you the professional finish without having to get your hands dirty.
When it comes to caulk guns there are hand-, battery- or air-powered options. For most jobs, the hand-powered caulk guns will be sufficient. Large scale projects and frequent caulk users will want to invest in either a battery- or air-powered caulking gun. These options work faster than the hand-powered caulk gun and are less tiring to use. These power-operated caulking guns also help to reduce wasted amounts of caulk. If you are using a vast quantity of caulk, then get more for your money by reducing the amount wasted from dripping with better control the flow. Set the speed of flow to obtain better application. These powered guns also work much better if you're having to move between various types of caulk for one project.
Caulking in certain areas requires a bit more protection and assistance. In these instances, all you need to do is apply a strip of painters tape and you're set. This method is necessary when sealing cracks in window treatments. Sealing areas like this does take a steadier hand but can save you a good bit of money by making your home more efficient.
With a good caulk gun and some accessories, you'll be sealed up in no time. Stop by Sears and get the caulking gun and caulking accessories you need to get the job done.

Firestone Extends Deal As Official IndyCar Tire Through '14, Renews Indy Lights Entitlement
Published February 14, 2012
MOVING FORWARD: RACER.com's David Malsher noted Bernard during his '12 State of IndyCar address "ended the night with a pointed, confident message about the series' future and an attempt to deflect criticism." Bernard said, "There were critics who said IndyCar was heading for doomsday and that the series would be out of business within two years. It just had one of the best financial years in its history. We heard some snickering about the new car from the ICONIC committee, but we're very proud to say we have Honda, Chevy and Lotus here tonight." He added, "We faced doubt over the size of our field, having only 18 cars amid the economy. But wrong again. We are very excited to have a minimum of 26 cars compete in IZOD IndyCar Series in 2012. There's also been constant speculation about me. I will be with IndyCar as long as the Hulman/George family wants me. I will keep that promise I made when they gave me this opportunity. No one could deny we haven't made mistakes. We have. But our goal is to better it, and make it stronger. Let's sit back, buckle up and hold on tight, because 2012 promises to be a hell of a ride" (RACER.com, 2/13).

FRESNO (AP) – The American Civil Liberties Union is suing the City of Fresno and Fresno County over their decision to ban marijuana cultivation.
The ACLU says the laws run counter to state law, which allows marijuana cultivation for medical purposes.
The lawsuit was filed on Tuesday on behalf of two Fresno residents who say they use marijuana to treat pain.
Calls to attorneys for Fresno and Fresno County were not immediately returned. Officials for the county and city have cited public safety concerns for the bans. County supervisors say marijuana farming operations have been linked to violent crime. They have levied fines of tens of thousands of dollars on people caught with pot plants.
The City of Live Oak in Northern California passed a similar marijuana cultivation ban that was upheld in court. The ACLU says its case raises different arguments.

Leah Binder Wants Your Hospital Data
But in another letter to the Senate Finance Committee June 26, Binder says, the hospital lobby seemed to say something much different about the measures CMS wants to display for public view.
"Meanwhile, before the ink was dry on its letter to CMS complaining about the imperfection of measures and requesting delays, AHA was quick to submit testimony to the Senate about its commitment to public reporting — as long as it's on its own terms.
AHA's testimony asks for fewer measures to be publicly reported, and although the lack of progress nationally on patient safety is well established, the testimony reports glowing achievements by some of its member hospitals in improving on several important measures of performance. Ironically, the important measures it touts to Congress are among the same ones it tells CMS aren't good enough for public reporting."
In a phone conversation this week, I asked Binder what she really wants to happen now.
"I want hospitals to keep publicly reporting," she replies. "And I want more data. A lot more data." Like on medication errors. That, she says, "is the elephant in the living room."
"Medication errors are the number one most common error in hospitals. Estimates are it happens one time every day for every inpatient. That's a lot of errors and a lot of harm."
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.
Leah Binder (7/19/2013 at 10:32 AM)
Ms. Dyster, Thank you for participating in Leapfrog. And congratulations on making Truven's Top 100 list. It is very encouraging to all of us at Leapfrog to hear from leaders like you committed to transparency and making clear progress. With regard to medication errors, we use a proxy measure on the Leapfrog Survey[INVALID]CPOE adoption coupled with the evaluation tool on its effectiveness. The research is strong that this standard gives consumers critical information about a hospital's likelihood of medication errors (and gives hospitals information available nowhere else about the performance of their CPOE systems). Of course, best would be a measure of the prevalence of medication errors in each hospital. We're always looking for advances in measurement science that would allow us to add that to the survey.We await the scientists.
Ruth Dyster (7/18/2013 at 5:01 PM)
Ms. Binder, I have long been an advocate for this hospital reporting to Leapfrog. This year, for the first time we submitted data. We are a good hospital, Truven Top 100, but not a perfect hospital. I think you answered your own question and desire. Until a measure is defined for Medication Errors, how can they be reported. I suppose you are very much involved with others in the quality arena in devising such a definition - I hope so and applaud your efforts

CentUp Asks: What Artists and Nonprofits Should We Partner With to Create Lasting Impact?
This summer, we introduced CentUp, a one-click "tip jar" that rewards writers, podcasters, and musicians who share their creative work online and want to make social impact through plugging into the everyday web activities of their fans. You guys in the GOOD community showed us a ton of interest earlier this year, and we wanted to provide some important updates, while asking you for some input.
As we've grown, many people have asked, why pair up content and causes?
While helping bloggers earn compensation is the core of our mission, we've also learned that driving awareness and individual donations to important causes is a fantastic way to encourage people to be more passionate about the writers, producers, and musicians whom they engage with. While traveling in Austin for South by Southwest, our team spoke with countless artists about their relationship with their fans. We asked, "besides selling your work, why don't you ever ask your audience for small ongoing donations?" The answer was almost universally something along the lines of, "It feels like begging." When we brought up the idea of using their content to raise money for themselves AND charity, the conversation completely changed. We saw musicians, writers, and filmmakers getting excited about using their work to raise money for causes they believed in and splitting their profits with charities.
Some of our recent CentUp creators who have been using the service have begun to accumulate quite a few dollars and cents for themselves, while getting a portion of their profits to go to some amazing charities that we've partnered with. Garry Bowden is a talented photographer on the West Coast who runs Souls of San Francisco. Like any photographer, he's constantly upgrading and changing out his equipment. CentUp will help him make a small dent in those purchases. Heidi Hackemer shares her experience traveling around the country on her motorcycle. When readers make contributions via CentUp, they're putting a little extra gas in her tank, and taking her to a new place. Claire Zulkey is a Chicago-based comedy writer who let her community know that contributions will simply be used to pay for her website hosting, an unsexy, yet extremely necessary expense for any web-based writer.
So, here's our question for you: We're working with six amazing non-profits including The Lynn Sage Foundation who funds research to cure breast cancer; The Fender Music Foundation who gives instruments to music education programs; The Arts of Life who empower the developmentally disabled to make art; Love 146 aims to abolish child sex trafficking; Chicago Public Media makes sure public radio and its employees get proper compensation; and Pencils of Promise builds schools around the world. While this list of official partners is amazing, we want to tap you to help us grow the number of causes we support. In particular the team is interested in raising money for organizations that touch on environmental issues, animal welfare, and veteran benefits.
As our community grows and more posts start to go viral, we can all make collective impact just through the clicks our CentUp bloggers and artists get on their websites. In the comments below, please share some of the organizations you would like to see CentUp partner with, whether they be non-profits or publishers. We'll reach out to them and make sure they know the people who want to support their efforts.
This project is part of GOOD's series Push for Good—our guide to crowdsourcing creative progress.

I finally bought myself a serger. Finally! I went with the Bernina 800DL and love it. To test it out, I bought some knit fabrics in a variety of weights and sewed up some Hemlock Tees from grainline's great pattern. I definitely plan on making more of these! And on serging many more things.

Invisalign straightens crooked chompers with a combination of highly advanced 3-D computer graphics and the spells of old-fashioned orthodontia. The Invisalign process eschews cumbersome braces for clear, removable aligners that are virtually invisible to the unclothed eye. An initial 30-minute exam, including x-rays, photos, and impressions of your mouth terrain, paves the way for a flurry of calibrated teeth sheaths that are designed to slowly shift walnut crackers into perfect alignment. The total cost of an Invisalign treatment varies for each customer ($4,000–$7,000); this Groupon gets you $1,000 toward that final cost. View some Invisalign FAQs here.
The multi-lingual staff at Dr. Dental, a family-run practice, strives to shatter orthodontic stereotypes by tidying up tusks in an unintimidating office sporting the ambience of a friendly neighborhood establishment. Return choppers to a glowing state with a new-patient cleaning, a procedure that polishes pearly whites and analyzes teeth's deep-seated fear of falling out and being exiled by a fairy. After a deep cleaning, the non-judgmental dentist administers bitewing x-rays to inspect for toothy ailments and lays out a long-term treatment plan for molar maintenance. Many locations offer after-hours and weekend appointment times for patients who are busy with work, family, or animal husbandry.
Specializing solely in whitening smiles, the technicians of Express Teeth Whitening Center help fade blemishes on teeth, allowing patrons to smile with confidence, whether it's for that job interview or presentation, or to just feel more at ease, all without the hassle of a dental-office visit. For teeth-whitening treatments, a technician will assess the type of treatment that will work best for the client by using a mouth tray with either 36% or 44% carbamide peroxide gel or a cheek retractor with 16% hydrogen peroxide whitening gel. After that, the technician will provide the client with protective glasses and activate the stain-zapping power with a blue light. The combination whitens teeth two to seven shades and produces immediate results, unlike going back in time to un-drink a year's worth of cups of coffee.
The dentists at First Choice Dental Group know that a trip to the dentist's office can cause anxiety in some patients. That's why they offer sedation dentistry, which allows patients to fall into a state of deep relaxation during appointments that would otherwise cause them stress and discomfort. As a comprehensive dental center, First Choice Dental Group offers a complete range of dental services, including braces, dental implants, oral surgery, dentures, and bridges.
Dr. Sam Dogra has been practicing dentistry since 2000 in both the United States and India. At his Salem office, the graduate of Boston University's Goldman School of Dental Medicine performs bridges, crowns, implants, white fillings, or Pola Office+ teeth-whitening treatments. In addition to specializing in aesthetic treatments, Dr. Dogra performs dental checkups, wherein he advises patients to keep mouths clean by brushing, flossing, and avoiding curse words.
At Pearly Whites Express, helping customers look their best is the sole focus. Pearly Whites Express at-home whitening trays fit smiles of all shapes and whiten teeth in 25 minutes or less. Pearly Whites also offers all-natural diet supplements to help tone figures.
