New Defense Health Agency to streamline functions
/ Published October 08, 2013
FALLS CHURCH, Va. (AFNS) --
The government shutdown did not stop the official opening Oct. 1 of the Defense Health Agency, a major streamlining effort of military medicine that has been in the works for three decades and signed into law earlier this year.
"This day has been a long time in coming, and represents a major milestone in the history of the department and in military medicine," Dr. Jonathan Woodson, the assistant secretary of defense for health affairs, wrote in a message to staff.
Air Force Lt. Gen. Douglas Robb heads the new agency, which is to streamline health care among the Army, Navy and Air Force medical departments. The agency is charged with creating common business and clinical practices for the services and integrating functions that each has done separately, such as purchasing medical supplies and equipment.
In a message to staff, Robb acknowledged the budget challenges and government shutdown that coincided with the first day of operations for the DHA, saying, "How we deal with and overcome these challenges will be the true test of our character and our strength."
The military health system provides medical care on the battlefield as well as to service members, their families and military retirees at home. It is one of the largest health care systems in the world with 56 hospitals, hundreds of clinics and 160,000 employees. Some 2,500 babies are born each week into the system, which has an annual budget exceeding $50 billion.
Like in the civilian sector, military health care costs have increased faster than inflation. Military health costs have more than doubled in the past decade, increasing from $19 billion in fiscal 2001 to $51 billion in fiscal 2013. The category now accounts for more than 10 percent of the department's budget. That figure is expected to grow, with the cost reaching $77 billion by 2022, according to officials with the Congressional Budget Office.
Integrating care and improving service
Allen Middleton, the acting deputy director of the Defense Health Agency, said the agency reflects a recognition by everyone in the department for the need for military health care to be more integrated and efficient.
"We think there's a huge opportunity here for us to improve readiness, individual health and sustain quality, while also saving money," he said. "We do a lot of things in common across our system, and the agency is going to help us to bring various services together and deliver services in a more consistent way. We have had different organizations managing health IT; multiple organizations setting and overseeing pharmacy programs; and the list goes on."
To start, the Defense Health Agency is establishing a shared services model for managing and overseeing the operational work for health information technology, medical logistics, pharmacy operations and facilities planning for the services. In addition, the agency will manage the TRICARE health plan for the military's 9.6 million beneficiaries. TRICARE Management Activity's 800 workers are now part of DHA. Approximately 500 Army, Navy and Air Force staff, mostly IT professionals, have also moved to the new agency.
Defense health officials estimate the savings from these shared services will total at least $3.4 billion in the agency's first five years. They plan to submit their final report to Congress on implementation objectives, milestones and estimated cost savings later this month.
By Oct. 1, 2015, the agency is to be fully operational, and will also incorporate management and oversight of additional shared services, to include contracting, medical education and training, public health, resource management, and medical research and development. New shared services may be added over time, Middleton said.
Creating the DHA is just one of a list of things that Defense officials are doing to try to both improve the readiness of the force and slow the growth in military health costs.
"It will, hopefully, bend the curve a little bit," Middleton said.
While the reorganization is a big change for the overall MHS and the three service medical departments, officials believe that the near-term effect for beneficiaries will be minimal, and that -- over time -- it will be even easier for them to be seen at military treatment facilities, and more convenient to use online services.
The path toward activation
The idea of creating a single, unified military medical agency or command has been the subject of debate since World War II. Launching the new agency represents the biggest change in the military health system in more than 60 years.
"The Army still has its medical command. The Navy has its structure. And the Air Force still has its structure," Middleton said. "Those are unique missions that each of them has. And those unique mission requirements need to be preserved at all costs. All we've done is say, 'Let's bring some things together in a joint way.' This is as far as we've ever come in doing any of this."
Defense officials took another look at how to best organize military medicine several years ago. One big influence was seeing Army, Navy and Air Force medical personnel work more closely together in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"If you went to a contingency hospital overseas, you might have a Navy nurse anesthetist, an Army surgeon and an Air Force med tech all working on you," Middleton said. "Nobody knows the difference. Our medical fight in theater is a joint operation."
Then-Deputy Secretary of Defense William Lynn appointed a task force on military health system governance in 2011 to study how things might be reorganized. The task force reviewed different options and endorsed the creation of the agency.
Another of the task force's recommendations that the deputy secretary subsequently directed was to name market leaders to create a unified business plan for each of their respective six multi-service markets - geographic areas where more than one branch of the military operates medical facilities.
These multiservice markets are: the National Capital Region in Washington, D.C.; the Tidewater region of Virginia; Colorado Springs, Colo.; San Antonio, Texas; Puget Sound, Wash.; and Honolulu, Hawaii.
The new National Capital Region Multiservice Market is part of the DHA and replaces Joint Task Force National Capital Region Medical Command in Washington. These enhanced markets, as they are known, provide nearly half of all inpatient care delivered in military hospitals, encompass 40 percent of all TRICARE Prime beneficiaries enrolled to a military clinic, and serve as the primary medical training platforms for military medical staff.
These leaders, known as multiservice market managers, also have the authority to move medical personnel in a market in order to improve access to care, and keep their medical staffs fully utilized. The goal is to provide as much care as possible within military medical facilities and reduce care sent to the private sector - a step that both improves continuity of care and reduces costs.
The military treatment facilities are "where we really want to see the patients," Middleton said. "We think it's high-quality by all standards and it's important for clinicians to see many patients to maintain their skills."
The DHA will provide the managers of the multiservice markets with the data and analysis they need to make good medical and business decisions, Middleton said.
"Everything we do is designed to enhance the readiness of the force -- the medical force, as well as the fighting force," he said.

LittleBigPlanet and Heavy Rain don't have much business crossing over into one another, we're in full support of the former's upcoming batch of DLC based on the latter. The costume pack, which will hit the US PlayStation Store later today, costs $1.99, and includes the outfits of Heavy Rain protagonists Ethan, Madison, Jayden, and Shelby. Also included is an origami hat, stained with the crimson hue of spilled ... jam. (We're guessing Media Molecule's stance on blood hasn't changed.)
We can't wait to see the LittleBigHeavyRain levels these costumes inspire. "In order to save your jelly beans, you'll have to cut off your own shoelaces. You have three minutes."

High-Efficiency Toilets Save Water
It's a simple act that you do several times a day without even thinking about it, but the way your toilet flushes could be wasting a significant amount of water in your home. A basic toilet uses almost four gallons of water for every flush. While that may not seem like a lot, multiply that by the number of times you use your toilet in a day.

Enid Derham
Biography of Enid Derham
Enid Derham was an Australian poet and academic.
Derham was born in Hawthorn, Melbourne, Victoria, the eldest daughter of Thomas Plumley Derham, solicitor, and his wife Ellen Hyde, née Hodgson, of Melbourne. Derham was educated at Hessle College, Camberwell, then at Presbyterian Ladies' College and the University of Melbourne. She graduated M.A. with final honours in classics in 1903, and subsequently studied at Oxford University.
Derham lectured in English at the University of Western Australia in 1921 and was appointed senior lecturer in English at the University of Melbourne in 1922, and held this position for the rest of her life. She died suddenly of a brain haemorrhage at her home in 1941.
In 1912 she published The Mountain Road and Other Verses, and Empire: A Morality Play for Children. She also edited books of prose, poetry and drama. A posthumous selection of her best poems.
Melbourne University Press released a posthumous anthology of her best work called Poems in 1952 which established her reputation as a poet.
While her poetry was influenced by her classical studies, she was one of the earliest Australian writers to recognise the poetry of Emily Dickinson

MY FOLK'S the wind-folk, it's there I belong,
I tread the earth below them, and the earth does me wrong,
Before my spirit knew itself, before this frame unfurled,
I was a little wandering breeze and blew about the world.
The winds of the morning that breathe against my cheek
Are kisses of comfort from a love too great to speak;
The whimpering airs that cry by night and never find their rest
Are sobbing to be taken in and soothed upon my breast.
The storm through the mountains, the tempes

The federal government needs to beef up its web defenses rather than focus on "heavy-handed" expensive regulation to deal with the onslaught of cyber attacks on the nation's critical infrastructure, according to some Republican lawmakers.
In Jan. 29 op-ed for Politico, Sens. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas), Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) propose that the government collaborate with industry to find the "right way" to address cybersecurity. The lawmakers were responding to a yet-to-be released cybersecurity bill.
The appropriate method, the senators suggest in the op-ed, is to reform the Federal Information Security Management Act with a real-time monitoring system. They also recommended partnering with research institutions such as the National Science Foundation and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to create cutting-edge cyber defenses to fend off virtual attacks, and bolstering existing oversight frameworks.
The Republican senators opposed providing additional agencies more regulation authority.
Other lawmakers disagree with the GOP perspective. Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.), via a spokesman quoted in an article in The Hill, argued that the federal government has the duty to protect its own information, even when the information is processed or stored by a contractor on behalf of an agency.
If the contractor's handling of the data "isn't as secure as it should be, the government needs to have the authority to step in and improve security," the spokesman said. "Intervention authority is routinely written into contracts. The senators and the administration think it is important enough to be written in statute. We have been receptive to the concerns raised and made changes and additions to the bill based on those concerns."

Industry already has the innovative real-time cyber monitoring solutions that the government will now be seeking to re-create via research institutions like NSF and DARPA.

Should Tories want Gordon Brown to stay?
Scared of David Miliband? The Tories? Pah! Miliband isn't just a Blairite; he's a Blair. Watch how he has absorbed his master's mannerisms: see the way he pushes his half-closed hands away to emphasise a point; the affected glottal stop; the characteristic verbal tic, "I simply say this to you". No wonder Gordon Brown can't stand the thought of making way for him. It would be like being shoved aside twice by the same man. And, for the rest of the country, it would be like having the old shyster back again.
David Miliband resembles Tony Blair in more ways than one
At the beginning of May, I suggested that Labour MPs' best option was to dispatch the Broon at once, and their second best option was to get behind him properly. The worst option, I wrote, was the one they seemed likeliest to take: to keep the Fifeshire feartie in place while constantly sniping at him and briefing against him.
Should Conservatives actively want Brown to go? Part of me says no. Let Labour MPs charge off after him like so many Gadarene swine if they want to. If holding their seats (and keeping their pension contributions flowing) for another 12 months is more important to them than their party's survival, that's their problem.
Sadly, it's also Britain's problem. It is now becoming obvious that the Broon has forgotten all about prudence, and is borrowing like a madman. He is evidently happy to pawn the country, knowing that it'll be a Tory government that has to redeem it. The quicker we have an election, the better all round.

quiet location clean and comfortable rooms
The room was very clean and organized.
The shower door didnt close properly and water spilled out.
My son needed a stopover before his Kibbutz arrival. HD was clean, modern and safe. He left his jacket, and the front desk emailed me. When they recognized the Kibbutz, they offered to drive the jacket back personally on their way home. You know where I'm staying, when I visit!
The Room was nice. The packed breakfast was OK.
Upon my arrival I had to find the receptionist. After the payment was done I didn't receive any bill/invoice.
location near to main road, easy to find, Good breakfast
rooms are equiped only with basic elements, too expencive for that kind of accomodation
nice location in the norht very quiet... big israeli breakfast young and friendly athmospehre... and if you want to meet nice russian girls in israel before u arrive in moscow, visit this page kievculturedating com
expensive!!!90 dollars for one night in youth hostel... !!!!what happened to the spirit of beeing cheap for young people?
The staff was very nice and helpful. The room was clean.
There is not enough space for cars near the hotel. The choice of food is rather limited.
Great place
Needed soap
clean, functional, no frills room with clean bathroom. our room (in the furthest block away from reception) was quiet). very good value for money for TA - we will be back!
Very comforable big room. Good connecion with WiFi. Nice and friendly staff (they even gave us breakfast when we were late for it). Nice view from the window on Yarkon garden. Recommend it!
It was clean, spacious, comfortable, wifii was perfect, loved the park across the street, could walk to meet friends near the beach, the late night receptionist received me late at night because I arrived late and he was very friendly and accommodating (even made sure I was able to get drinking water because I so desperately needed it). There was a nice welcome note waiting for me along with my room key. I loved the location being across the street from the family friendly park. It was not at the luxurious hotel comfort level, but for a hostel, it was fabulously comfortable. No frills, but clean and friendly and private. Private room with private bathroom- huge plus for me!
I actually can't think of anything I didn't like ;)
A very good location, friendly staff. Much more than expected for this money.
Not good not bad just average. We stayed there just for a night ( we had an early flight to Poland) so we didn't even have breakfast there. To me, our room was quite small, but bathroom was ok. The place doesn't have a parking lot, but we managed to park just outside the hostel on the street. It takes just about 15 minutes to get to old port- very nice BTW. Tel Aviv is great!
Really friendly people there. Quiet location. Good breakfast.
Staff were very open, they let me inside the room a few hours before check-in as I was so tired.
Sometimes, there was a rush in the hotel especially in the night, someone was knocking to my door at 4am, it was policeman. Then staff explained that police was using hotel for 1 night.
Location was great.
You would expect some coffee, tea and cups.
Didn't see the point in having a kettle with no cups to drink from...
I didn't enjoy to find at the desk during night (2.00 am) no personnel able to speak in english....
the place was clean, nice and very friendly, great location !!!!!!
the acustics to the halls are not the good

Being The Largest Hybrid Cloud Customer At Rackspace
For the past 5 years I've worked on the Corporate Development & Strategy team at Rackspace helping our
hybrid cloud
platform take shape. In that role, I was instrumental in building the ecosystem,
getting OpenStack going
and working on acquisitions for Rackspace. That experience has shown me that for SaaS businesses the best place they can run is at Rackspace.

Connect SharePoint 2013 To Cloud Files With New Rackspace Cloud Storage App
A few months ago we had the opportunity to take on a project that would bring Rackspace Cloud Files together with
web sites. This would be in the form of a SharePoint 2013 app where you would have the ability to log into your Rackspace Cloud account and have access to your
cloud storage
. Since file collaboration and sharing is in high demand, we also wanted to give you the ability to share files stored in your cloud storage with other people — regardless of whether or not that person has access to the SharePoint site. This would be a step toward facilitating collaboration between SharePoint and non-SharePoint users.

Using Content Search In SharePoint 2013
The Content Search Web Part (CSWP) is a new feature in SharePoint 2013. It can be most accurately compared to the Content Query Web Part that we have in previous SharePoint versions. The one striking difference between Content Search and Content Query is that Content Search allows you to query and show information from any site collection. As long as your search is configured to crawl the information it can be pulled into your CSWP!

SharePoint In The Cloud
One of the most common discussions that I've heard recently is around SharePoint in the cloud – specifically what it is, what it does and how it can be used. This is a great topic, but there seems to still be a lot of confusion and misconceptions about what it means for SharePoint to be in the cloud. In this blog post, I'll clarify some of the more common issues.

Wiki Headlines
18th Nov: We've switched servers and will be updating the old code over the next couple months, meaning that several things might break. Please report issues here.
main index
Wilhelm (or William) Tell is a legendary Swiss folk hero (of questionable historicity), said to have lived in the late 13th and early 14th centuries. According to the story, his resistance to the Habsburg overlords of what is now central Switzerland served as the basis for a wider rebellion and the foundation of the Swiss Confederation.The legend is fairly simple: In 1307, the Habsburg Duke of Austria has sent the reeve Albrecht Gessler to the canton of Uri (by the shores of Lake Lucerne), in order to strengthen his control over the region. Gessler is a ruthless authoritarian and quickly makes himself unpopular. He has his hat put up on a pole in the town of Altdorf, and decrees that all passers-by must bow before it.One day, an alpine shepherd and expert crossbowman called Willhelm Tell comes to town with his son Walter and refuses to pay tribute to the hat. Gessler is furious and has him arrested. Hearing about Tell's marksmanship skills, he agrees to spare him and his son from the death penalty on one condition: That Tell must shoot an apple from his son's head in the town square. Tell, not having much choice, takes two bolts from his quiver and loads one before taking the shot. He succeeds, splitting the apple while leaving Walter unharmed. When Gessler askes him what the other bolt was for, Tell replies that if he had hit his son, the other bolt would have been for Gessler.Upon hearing this, Gessler upholds his end of the bargain by not having Tell executed, but still has him bound and taken to prison for his treachery. While the party is crossing Lake Lucerne in a flimsy boat, however, a powerful storm comes up and the soldiers unbind Tell and ask him to steer for them, fearing that they will capsize. After saving Gessler and his men from drowning, Tell seizes the opportunity to escape by leaping to shore. Soon afterwards, while Gessler is travelling by land through a narrow gulley, Tell assassinates him (with his trusty crossbow, of course).Friedrich Schiller wrote a play about him, which is Quote Overdosed (well, if you speak German, at least), and codified the version of the story best known to modern audiences.The Trope Namer for William Telling.

Not school related, its for personal use
Moving back to my parents place soon for a few months and will obviously be using their internet. When I used to live there I had a cable running through the wall which I connected to another switch, since I had a few devices I needed wired for (xbox and media server). Since I moved out though my dad has filled in the hole (it was quite crude) so I need a wireless bridge this time
the off the shelf ones are a bit pricey though, roughly 40/50 quid for something Im not going to be using for long, so is there a cheaper option? Any way to use an old laptop to do it easily? Or flash an old router with alternate firmware?
Could buy an old bridge off fleabay but I need something that supports at least WPA and old ones may well not

Apart from http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/g-app-intents.html (which is quite good but fairly limited in the number of apps/uri's it covers) I've been unable to find a decent reference source for looking up URI's to use when integrating with google apps.
I'm currently working on triggering the "add new contact" UI, and have found that the tel: uri pattern seems to work, but what if I only have a name and an email?
I wouldn't have expected I'd need to rely on sample code / trial and error, but I really can't see anywhere where the intent/URI interface is supposed to be documented in android apps.
Does such a standard exist?
Is there some quasi standard / user database that I can consult?
On a platform with such a good inter-interoperability architecture it just seems like something so useful I can't believe it's not there

"First day I had to have shower curtain replaced because it smells of mildew; it smelled really bad. It's the first thing we smelled when we walked into the room. The coffee pot was not washed from last guest. Bedrooms were not cleaned daily even though I put "Clean the Room" sign at the door. I came back to see the sign turned to "Do Not Disturb." So since coffee packets were not replenished because the room was not cleaned, I had to go downstairs very early to get it myself because the front desk personnel for whatever reason can't bring it upstairs. I had to ask for towels,& iron. Carpets in hallway need to be shampooed. No mouthwash provided. The switch to the shower area is very inconvenienty located. The same goes with the door to the bathroom; someone using the sink has to move out of the way when someone opens the door. The hotel keys kept getting deactivated. My husband had to get his key re-activated 3x & I had mine once. I was in my heels for a party & I had to walk all the way in the hallways & back twice to get the key re-activated. The overall ambiance is nice because of the bright light coming from the glass roof in the pool area. Ms. Ingrid Timms-Springett was great. She was very accomodating & friendly. I would recommend this hotel to someone else only if the afore- mentioned "bad things" about the hotel are corrected. Lastly, it will not hurt if the front desk personnel are more hospitable & courteous. How about saying "Good Morning" or "Good Evening" to guests esp as they walk in through the front door & if they are not very busy with other guests."

"We were dissapointed for starters because they Did Not receive our reservations, so I don't think I would use your on-line service to reserve in the future. For the price we paid they could have had alittle more then just Basic cable, ( we could get that at home). Also there was not even a fridge in the room. At other hotles where we have stayed or that price we at least had a fridge. There was only one large towel , one hand towel, one face cloth in the room. We didn't even have a do not disturb sign. The good thing was the pool and hot tub. They were great. Thanks Sherry Worsley"
7 out of 10 | Dawn stayed August 14, 2005
"On arrival, my confirmed online registration was missing, but luckily a room was available. Gym facilities are not complimentary, unexpected $5.drop in fee expected! Hair dryer missing, but housekeeping quick and friendly to replace it. Sheets slipped off bed easily. Air conditioner very loud. Housekeeping very slow to pick up dirty room service trays in hallways. Hallways needed cleaning, including windows, and carpet. Towels were rarely available at the pool. Interesting decor and unique rockery around pool and sauna were a hit with the kids."

Get your earplugs out, you're going to need them – the historic motoring museum at Brooklands is opening its doors to fans this Sunday, the 14 October, with its second annual Autumn Motorsport Day.
And attendees will be in for a serious treat. There'll be Formula 1, Formula 5000, GT, Touring and Group B rally cars all on show. But the greatest troop of vehicles displayed to the public will be the earsplittingly loud Silver Arrows pre-war Grand Prix cars.
Merc's 1937 W125 Grand Prix racer will be there – powered by a 5.7-litre supercharged eight-cylinder engine producing a ridiculously loud 595hp – as will the car that superseded it, the 1938 Mercedes-Benz W154.
Rule changes enforced a drop to a 3.0-litre supercharged engine – this time a V12 producing 475hp – but it was no less noisy, so there'll still be plenty of aural delights on offer. If it's not the scintillating single-seaters from a plethora of eras, then it'll be the fire-breathing Group B rally cars, complete with their twittering turbos.
Who doesn't love the sound of screaming race engines and the elegance of competition cars from a bygone era? Especially when the souped-up motors on display are priceless automotive artefacts that you'll rarely get to see sitting stationary, never mind driven to within an inch of their lives.
Last year's event was the inaugural Autumn Motorsport Day and it was an immediate hit with spectators. With even more cars set to be driven hard around the new Brooklands track at Mercedes-Benz World – and in close quarters to spectators – expect bumper crowds.
Standard museum charges apply, so that'll be £10 for adults, £9.00 for senior citizens and students, and £5.50 for children aged between five and 16. Under fives go free. You can pick up a family ticket (two adults and up to three children) for £27, too.
Parking is free and you'll get a trail guide to find your way around as well – just don't forget the packed lunch!
