Area Mercy hospitals eye future under for-profit owner
Health Management Associates' decision to buy Mercy Health Partners came as welcome news for some within Knoxville's elder health system, eager for new leadership to get the organization back on track.
With the deep pockets of a shareholder-owned company, some believe Health Management has the ability to turn around Mercy's misfortunes, which have been rooted in a large debt load and poor revenue.
The Florida-based company is expected to pump significant resources into Mercy for capital improvements and new technologies if the deal is approved.
But tough decisions will have to be made as Health Management continues to assess Mercy's operations and facilities.
Britt Reynolds, divisional president of Health Management who will oversee the Mercy hospitals, has said no services will be taken away, and that HMA intends for now to keep all hospitals open with the ultimate goal of growing services and market share.
The company already has agreed to honor some of Mercy's policies and traditions. Conversations have taken place with Indianapolis Colts quarterback and former University of Tennessee star Peyton Manning to continue his role as a spokesman for the hospital system.
Meanwhile, a movement is afoot to use St. Mary's in the new name.
Still, some wonder what having a for-profit hospital company will eventually mean for the area. It's been more than 20 years since Knoxville had a for-profit medical center, and yet Health Management would take that to a systemwide level never seen here before.
Dr. Larry Brakebill, a physician with Internal Medicine Associates, described Health Management's intentions as sincere. While he's saddened that the relationship with Mercy has to end, Brakebill is optimistic about the future.
"We're all looking forward to trying to move on and strengthening another health system in our region," he said.
Health Management Associates hospitals and clinics
A tale of two St. Mary's
Most agree that one of the first decisions that must be addressed is the flagship Mercy Medical Center St. Mary's, a health care fixture in the Oakwood/Lincoln Park community for more than 80 years. Health Management could decide to remodel it or could start the transition to the newer Mercy Medical Center North off Emory Road.
Opinions vary among the medical staff on what to do, said Dr. Richard Briggs, who practices heart and lung surgery at Mercy St. Mary's.
"St. Mary's North and the old St. Mary's are both doing well, but if you're looking at efficiencies where you have a lot of duplication of services between the two, would it be better to have patients in one facility where you could offer more services at one location? I don't know what the right answer is," he said.
Growth has pushed the hospital atop Oak Hill against its 12-acre boundary, and the aging facility is in need of repairs including plumbing and electrical work. Remodeling, Briggs said, could get expensive.
Mercy North, which opened in 2007, is located on 50 acres adjacent to the Mercy Health and Fitness Center and has room to grow. But moving Mercy St. Mary's to Emory Road would be a major undertaking because it is three times larger than its newer sister facility. Mercy St. Mary's is a 370-bed facility, while Mercy North currently has 108 licensed beds.
"They've got room for expansion but you just can't do it overnight," Briggs said.
Brakebill's primary office initially was at Mercy St. Mary's, but over time the practice decided to relocate to the North campus.
"Our feeling was that eventually the future would be here, but we don't know if that will come to be or when. We felt it was a risk to move, but we had to make a decision," Brakebill said.
Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett said he hasn't been given any indication that the Old North Knoxville hospital will close, calling it "a vital cog."
"I'd hope they would continue to use it, but it's a dollar-and-cents issue. They still have to make their bottom line work," Burchett said.
Asked if the county would have any interest in it, Burchett replied, "We're not in the real estate business. I'm trying to get rid of property."
One possible use expressed by some in the community would include moving Knox County Schools' central offices there from the Andrew Johnson Building on Gay Street.
"That could be a solution, but I wouldn't want to speculate on that," Burchett said. "I've made no secrets I'd like to use that (Gay Street) property for something else."
What to do west
Another big question that will have to be addressed is the future of Mercy Medical Center West, a facility that opened in 2003 at a cost of $65 million and which last year had operating losses averaging more than $1 million each month.
A growing area long served by Covenant Health's Parkwest Medical Center, the hospital has never turned a profit though Mercy has poured in tens of millions of dollars to upgrade it.
Last summer, Mercy hired a real estate consultant to nationally market the West hospital. It's unclear whether Health Management would continue down that path. Some say it could become a specialty hospital, if a larger physician base with more specialists were brought in.
Meanwhile, Mercy Riverside on Blount Avenue continues to be on the real estate market and reportedly there has been some interest from developers outside the area in the former Baptist Hospital property.
Reynolds said Health Management would seek all kinds of solutions for that campus, which still houses some nonmedical-related staff. But he indicated there's no rush to decide.
"It may be something as we look at the continued development growth, beautification of the riverside development projects that it makes sense to partner with somebody for an entirely alternate use for that facility. We just don't know at this point. We're in no hurry to make the decision. We don't have to be. It's not a material part of this acquisition. It's not something we have to operate so we'll hold tight to that," Reynolds said.
While Scott County's 25-bed hospital has been included in the announced deal, its fate was already decided prior to Health Management. Mercy's management lease is set to expire on May 24, 2012.
In his last conversation with Mercy CEO Jeff Ashin, Scott County Mayor Jeff Tibbals was told that Health Management had no interest in continuing the lease beyond 2012.
That didn't surprise Tibbals, who said the rural hospital, in a county with the state's highest unemployment rate, has struggled with increasing uninsured admissions. Indigent-care expenses totaled $1.3 million in 2010.
"I don't know many hospital organizations that would want to jump in with those kind of numbers, but we have two companies that think they can turn that around. It's a numbers game. They (Health Management) made a business decision. It's losing a lot of money," Tibbals said.
The two companies that have made proposals to Scott County are Mississippi-based Pioneer Health Services and Downey Enterprises LLC out of Cookeville.
The next step for Scott County will be to select one of the proposals currently on the table or reject both and start the search over again. Tibbals said Scott officials will make a decision on July 18. The hope is to have a new management firm in place before Health Management assumes Scott County's lease in October to avoid having to endure two transitions.
Reynolds said Health Management would continue to operate the hospital and provide the same level of services until the May time frame.
"We'll stay in close communication with them about whether or not they have sought and obtained another partner to run the organization or whether we make a decision to do something on a more permanent basis with them. But we honor the fact that it's been terminated and that we will continue to step in the shoes of Mercy between now and its termination date," he said.
Courting physicians, community
Health Management touts itself as a physician-friendly company. Doctors occupy roles in both operations and governance of its hospitals, Reynolds said.
"Physicians are on our governing boards. At the operational level, we have structures and formats where physicians help define strategic plans and policies," he said. "That's very much a part of our day-to-day working and DNA, and we seek at all times to add value to physician practices in any kind of relationship or technical way we can."
Most physicians believe the deal with Health Management is good for the community because of what the company will be able to provide, Briggs said.
Briggs was among several physicians who visited Health Management hospitals. They all seemed to be very well equipped, he said.
"I think they're coming in here without any preconceived notions," Briggs said. "They're talking to doctors about what direction we feel the hospitals should go. Ultimately, they'll have to crunch the numbers and decide what to do. They indicated they wanted to make it a place where patients would want to come because it's a great facility and doctors would want to practice here because it's a great facility."
Any time there is change, there will be some anxiety, Briggs said.
"I think a lot of people will be wondering what it will be like working for a for-profit. It's an unknown animal that we've not really had any experience with," Briggs said.
The change in tax status will mean an additional $4.5 million in revenue for the city of Knoxville and Knox County. That could go a long way, particularly with some of the shortfalls the county experienced this year, said Briggs, who also serves on Knox County Commission.
"That would have paid for all the community grants that were denied. It would have given the sheriff and county employees a pay raise and still had some left over. That's very positive when the hospital can come here, make a profit, bring in new technologies and the county can benefit," he said.
Knoxville also could benefit from additional health-care executives coming to the area, which will be home to a central business service center and leadership team of between 50 and 60 people from Knoxville and elsewhere.
"There will be a regional concentration of services in this area that will serve the East Tennessee region, the other three hospitals in the state and potentially over time, maybe sooner than later, would assist in other parts of adjacent states in terms of oversight. So we'll have a physical presence here of key individuals other than simply the hospital operational team," Reynolds said.
Health Management also manages Tennessee hospitals in Tullahoma, Lebanon and Jamestown as well as surrounding states. Burchett met with a few executives earlier this year.
"I was impressed. They were very knowledgeable about the area," Burchett said.
Reynolds' wife and her siblings studied at the University of Tennessee, including his brother-in-law, former UT football player Scott Wells, who plays center for the Green Bay Packers.
Health Management already is engaging the community through focus groups on a new name for the system. Catholic Healthcare Partners retains the rights to Mercy. One idea being floated is using St. Mary's in the name.
"I think the St. Mary's brand is out there and people know it," Brakebill said.
One of the things that sold Mercy on Health Management is the fact they don't come in and put their stamp on everything, Brakebill said. For instance, the community won't see an HMA North or HMA West.
"That's not how they operate," Brakebill said. "They want to be a part of the community, so it will be whatever makes them that. I think St. Mary's would go a long way in doing that."

In case you missed it, Jay Z (sans hyphen) and Justin Timberlake (sans fedora) premiered the music video for "Holy Grail" yesterday, via Facebook no less, and you didn't even have to buy a Samsung product just to view the damn thing. Directed by Anthony Mandler, who's worked with Jay Z on similarly epic videos for "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)" and "Run This Town," imagery of guns, artfully covered women, and plenty of black clothes run rampant in the visuals. The show stealer, however, is Jay Z's big ass chain. While it's nowhere near as obnoxious as the likes of T-Pain or Kanye West, the huge Cuban link necklace is about as subtle as a bag of bricks. That inspired us to take a look back at Jay Z's long history of bling, from his initial rise to prominence in the '90s to the layered chains he wore on the Legends of the Summer Tour, we compiled a brief review of his accessory game.

Young Riot - Do It Again
Artist: Young Riot
Producer: D Spellz
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 3.2 ( 9 votes )
Regrets, we've all got a few. Whereas those who grew up in relative comfort tend to rue the risks we didn't take - not making things work with that perfect guy or girl, not seizing the opportunity to pursue a grand ambition, etc. - it's a different story for those who, like Young Riot, came up in circumstances where one false move could mean catching a bullet. On his latest promo single (a Booth-exclusive world premiere!), the Boston representative and a couple equally seasoned street denizens dust off a few memories that haunt each of them to this day, fantasizing about how things would have gone down were they able to Do It over Again. After an opener which finds the headliner reminiscing about an old friend in the pen, Da Drout grabs the mic to lace D Spellz' moody street boardwork with bars stressing the dangers of consorting with snitches, and Sean Hines dedicates his closing 16 to a close homie who fell victim to a drive-by shooting. A sobering (but ear-pleasing) look into a world where life is cheap, this reflective jam is not attached to any forthcoming project. Those feeling it, however, can hear more from Riot on 2011's Y.O.M.P. mixtape, still available for streaming and download in the Booth.

Jackknifed semi triggers pile-up
CABOT A tractor-trailer jackknifed on Route 2 in Cabot early Monday, according to police, causing a four-car accident.
State police said the truck, driven by Zuhdija Husic, 42, of Utica, N.Y., was eastbound. Police said Timothy Sweeney, 49, of Northfield, was driving west in an Agency of Transportation truck and tried to avoid hitting Husic but ended up striking the side of his truck.
Nicole Laprade, 41, of Barre, was driving behind Sweeney and had to swerve off the road to avoid colliding with Sweeney or Husic, police said. Bailee Laplant, 19, of Richmond, was driving east and came down the hill unaware of the accident and struck Sweeneys vehicle on the drivers side, police said.
No injuries were reported from the accident.

Kerry reminds me of the dense, clueless English Lords from the old Anthony Hopkins movie "The Remains of the Day", in which the Lords, in that informal old-world way, invited Hitler´s emissaries to an ´unofficial´ meeting at the country estate in an attempt to come to an agreement between gentlemen and avert war. Christopher Reeve, playing the American representative, politely informed the Lords that that were all out of their depth in the modern world and did not understand the concept of Realpolitik....that modern politics was NOT for rich, gentlemen amateurs. Lord Darlington huffily disagreed, not noticing that some of the Nazi guests were walking around the manor house cataloging what they would confiscate once they got to Britain. Kerry needs to go back to the country club and stay there and not come out again, ever. He´s done enough damage....as has Hillary...as has Obama.

Why would any foreign head of state believe anything that Lurch says? He makes pronouncements without the backing of Zippy, who then undercuts him. He forges agreements that he doesn´t even discuss with both sides. And finally, he is a pathological liar. One has only to refer to his despicable testimony during the Viet Nam war. We have no foreign policy! We have no respect in the world and we have neutered our military. We have become the laughing stock of world politics. And to think, Zippy, Hillary and Lurch have done it all in only 6 short years. Saul Alinsky and Carl Marx would be proud.

What kind of movie are you?

If you think documentaries are boring, think again. Like your movie match, you're an intelligent individual who makes people think. Documentaries span all sorts of topics, from the trivial to the profound. Perhaps your interests do the same, but one thing's clear — you're a smarty and you like to learn.
We'd guess you're the person at the dinner table or the water cooler who stirs up lively debates about the latest news or tidbits from the Discovery Channel. Part of you probably gets a kick out of creating controversy and getting people fired up about their beliefs. Another part probably likes opening people's eyes and sharing your thoughts. And for that, you get two thumbs up for trying to get to the bottom of things and making waves!"
I don't know how accurate that is. I tend to avoid debates, but I do like the Discovery Channel! And I think my topic would be more trivial than profound, lol!
|Sun, 06-13-2004 - 4:52pm
I'm a groundbreaking documentary too. Boy, if the shoe fits, slip that sucka on! In fact, documentaries (and ridiculous series like Raymond and Frasier) are all I watch nowadays ...well, besides Dora the Explorer, that is.
Yes, this is definitely me - the reason I turned the computer on today was so I could send some info about a good fair-trade sort of company to friends via email!
|Mon, 06-14-2004 - 8:39am
Hasta la vista, baby! From caped crusaders to lethal weapon cops to muscle-bound mercenaries, action heroes always manage to kick the bad guy's butt one way or another and save the world. Like these big-screen stars, you've got a lot of gusto...even if it's not necessarily directed at thwarting evil plots to destroy the world.
I guess that is kinda right.

So I need to create users for all the students in the school. I've used Active User Manager to make the users with a .csv file, they've all got a shared folder (\\server\username$) which is set in Active Directory to map to their Z drives, permissions are all set. All I need to do is to set a policy to redirect their My Documents to their folder. Redirecting it to "\\server\%username%$" doesn't work, how do I do this?
I've only made 1 year group so far for testing purposes, and I pretty much manually created every folder so if there's an easier way to do this, then I don't mind starting from scratch. I know you can set a home folder with active user manager, but is that My Documents or what? I'd rather stick with group policy but any suggestions would be great!
Thanks for any replies.

The home front has changed since the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division deployed. Babies have been born. Children have grown. Milestones have been celebrated. Illnesses have been diagnosed. And all the while, wives have taken on solo parenting and household management.
It's a lot to take in, Army wives said.
By 7 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 13, Mark Wicker, event coordinator for Fort Knox's annual Army Concert Tour Series, was already at Godman Army Airfield, the site of a concert that would take place 12 hours later.
"It's not unusual to put in 18 to 20 hours," said Wicker.
The scent of eggs, bacon, pancakes, Danish and coffee filled the airfield hangar, and production and stage crew members, bus drivers and band associates loaded their plates. Concert support staff, Morale, Welfare and Recreation employees, had begun preparing the meal at 6 a.m.

A small plane crashed into Pine Tree Inn at Falls of Rough around midday Friday, killing the pilot. A 15-year-old neighbor is being credited with helping rescue the hotel's owner.
The plane exploded into the north side of the owner's residence at the rear of the building where it connects to the inn. The inn's owner, Tyonia Bruner, was inside when the plane hit.
A Hardin County official is encouraging his friends to vote "no" in any local option on alcohol sales Tuesday in Elizabethtown, Radcliff and Vine Grove.
Magistrate E.G. Thompson, who doesn't live in any of the three towns, posted Thursday on Facebook, "Many of us live in the unincorporated areas of Hardin County and do not get to vote; still, we can encourage those who can to VOTE NO!"
One of the lead lawyers in a court battle to block implementation of federal health reform visited Elizabethtown in hopes of helping elect an ally in his efforts.
Ken Cuccinelli, attorney general of Virginia, encouraged about three dozen people at a backyard gathering Thursday to support Todd P'Pool's candidacy for Kentucky attorney general.
Two Hardin County elementary schools received donations this week through the Windstream Foundation's SchoolsWIN campaign.
G.C. Burkhead Elementary School and Lincoln Trail Elementary School each received $1,000 checks presented to them by representatives from the Windstream Classroom Caravan, a mobile program traveling across the country this fall to award schools with donations, said Brooke Cochran, a representative who presented a check to Lincoln Trail.
Maj. Gen. Marcia Anderson might never have gotten involved with the U.S. Army if she hadn't needed a science credit at Creighton University in Omaha, Neb.
She was wandering through a gym considering booths advertising classes when she saw one for military science. She asked the man attending the booth whether the class counted as a science credit. It did.
About 30 years later, Anderson stood in front of soldiers, political officials and area residents and was promoted as the first black woman to become a major general in the Army.
An Elizabethtown man died from injuries sustained in a wreck Wednesday evening on North Mulberry Street near Denny's Restaurant.
According to a news release from Elizabethtown Police Department, James M. Duffy, 61, and passenger Karen W. Marinko, 57, were traveling westbound on Mulberry on a motorcycle while Daniel Cook, 68, was driving a Mercury Grand Marquis eastbound. All motorists involved are Elizabethtown residents.
Hardin County Amateur Radio Emergency Communications will participate in the nationwide Simulated Emergency Test Saturday and Sunday.
The local group is comprised of volunteer amateur radio operators who provide "trained, licensed and equipped radio operators as needed in time of national and local emergencies," according to a statement.
The annual Simulated Emergency Test allows local amateur operators to train for emergency situations.
The Rev. Dennis Cousens likely will have to speak above the excited barks of members of his 10 a.m. congregation Saturday.
He will preside over the annual Blessing of the Animals service in the back parking lot of St. Christopher Catholic Church on Wilson Road in Radcliff.
"So far, we've never had bad weather and had to go inside," he said. "I'm not sure what I'd do."
The annual blessing will follow the typical style that it has since it began taking place at the church eight years ago.

Summer's End
By CassandraDunn on August 25, 2013
We had lofty plans for the summer. Okay, not lofty. But we had plans. Most of which didn't ever make it out of the planning stage. They didn't include me selling my first novel (The Art of Adapting) to a real, bonafide publisher just as the school year was winding to an end, so some things turned out a billion times better than planned. They also didn't include my daughter needing 8 stitches in her knee and weeks of healing time, and having to cancel several activities as a result. But here's what we did do this summer:
We went to the horse races, and during the intermission, they held wiener dog races, which are just as hysterical as they sound. Some of those dogs really book it on those short legs. Some run in the complete wrong direction. Some get taken out by huge, unexplained dog piles mid-track. The girls loved it. My youngest, who is on a mission to pet every dog in the universe, got several of them crossed off her list that day.
We took a couple of family trips with my mother, sister, and niece. Somehow we have all ended up single at the same time, with only daughters. We are an all-girl family. Which means lots of fun girl-time when we're all together, wherever we are. And you just can't have too much girl time. My daughters call their cousin their "sister-cousin" which shows how close they are. Just watching the three youngsters play together, at 4, 6, and 8 years old, is a joy like nothing else.
We went to the library, a local amusement park, to swimming pools, and had play dates. The usual stuff, and nothing special, except that I was with my daughters, watching them get taller and stronger and less shy about walking up to the girl behind the counter at the frozen yogurt place and asking for a cup of water all by themselves. Small milestones, but milestones just the same.
I wrote. Not as much as I would've liked, because there were these kids around so much, but when your work day consists of jotting down notes for the chapter you don't have time to write, surrounded on both ends by cuddles with your children, telling them stories, watching them do cartwheels and handstands, making homemade snow cones, and taking endless photos of them being their adorable selves, you have a pretty good life.
And that's the difference for me this summer, compared to last. Yes, the book deal helped immensely. Knowing that The Art of Adapting was going to be in print next July took a lot of pressure off me. Knowing that I had an income on the way in the tail-end of my divorce also relieved a lot of stress. Last summer I was still scraping by while chasing the dream, and felt frustrated when I wasn't making any progress. This summer I wanted time to slow down. I want this moment, the butterflies every time I wake up and remember that my novel is actually getting published, to last as long as possible. I want to relish every moment with my girls, because I can see how fast they are growing up. My eight-year-old is already so tall she barely fits in my lap. Which means I need to get those lap times in as often as I can.
My girls know that The Art of Adapting is getting published. They know that it was inspired by their Uncle Michael, who they will never meet, who had Asperger's. They had lots of questions about Asperger's, and about the other characters in the book. My six-year-old had me summarize the entire novel for her, and after three days of recounting it for her, she told me it sounded good to her. But my girls weren't clear on what getting "published" meant. They wanted to know the difference between my agent, my publisher, and my editor. They wanted to know how books are made. How they get to the bookstore. Who decides how much they cost. Who designs the covers and makes the paper and where the ink comes from. They have more questions than I have answers, but it makes this whole journey more fun and meaningful to have them to share it with, to discover the answers with them.
Originally I wanted to put them in summer camp somewhere so I could have a lot more writing time. Another summer plan that didn't work out, for financial reasons, and I'm grateful for that. My writing time will come. Time with my girls is fleeting.

Coconut Bacon
Our tropical friend doubles as faux meat in this sweet, smoky, crispy snack thats great in just about everything.
Coconut makes its way into countless vegan treats: ice cream, pies, milks, curries, and isotonic beverages to name just a few. But while we had heard whispers about its ability to double as smoky vegan bacon, we had never had a chance to assess for ourselves until Phoney Baloney's Coconut Bacon made its way to our offices. With delightfully smoky flavor, a hint of maple, and the perfect amount of crunch, it definitely left us wowed and reeling with ideas for its use. PB suggests using it on doughnuts, cupcakes, and sandwiches, so it oscillates between being sweet and salty—but don't we all?

Found December 04, 2012 on Fox Sports:
Clint Bowyer and his Michael Waltrip Racing team put together a stellar year and a runner-up finish NASCAR's Chase for the Sprint Cup. What does his finish, and those of other top performers, mean for 2013? Every time we think and we try to predict what something from this year means for next year, it means absolutely nothing. It means whatever you want to make out of it, but you still have to make it. You can predict, you can anticipate, you can wish and you can pray, but until you make it happen, you don't know what it really is going to turn into. You can say right now that Bowyer's No. 15 team is a logical challenger for the 2013 championship because it was a new team and because of what they accomplished. In 2013, they should be bigger and better than they were the year before, but we thought the same thing about Carl Edwards on a couple of different occasions and it hasn't happened. Now Carl has a whole new team - does that mean he's going to be back in contention? We don't know, but we hope he's going to be part of the mix. But at the same time, Denny Hamlin got himself a new crew chief, a championship crew chief, entering this season. Then he's making all this noise. He looks like he's going to be a championship contender. But once again, when it got to the end of the year, he and his Joe Gibbs Racing team didn't close it out. There's just so many things, so many intangibles, so many things about attitude and, once again, the luck factor of how your season goes and what puts you on the right path that you can write anything and you won't be wrong, you can say anything and you won't be wrong. That's what makes it so wonderful about our sport. No matter how much you look at it on paper, we can't control it and we can't predict it. Who would ever predict that at the final race of the year, five-time champion Jimmie Johnson would have the problems that he did? Who would ever predict that this young upstart Brad Keselowski, in a relatively short time, has been able to win two of the most prestigious racing championships that any man could ever win and basically in about a three-year period? You can't write that stuff. The two guys who were basically fighting one another at Phoenix - Jeff Gordon and Bowyer - a week later there they were being celebrated because one is in Victory Lane (Gordon) and the other winds up second in the points race. It just shows that anything is possible. We don't make this stuff up - we just talk about it.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - A commercial ship has hit a major bridge in Jacksonville, forcing its closure into next week.
The ship hit the Mathews Bridge Thursday afternoon. The bridge is a major east-west artery.
Florida Department of Transportation spokesman Michael Goldman says the bridge has more than 56,000 vehicles drive on it each day.
Goldman says the bridge is closed for repairs through at least next Monday.
He says any traffic on the bridge could damage it further.

This was our second stay at the Dusit Hua Hin in a month. Once again, it's a great overall experience. Many of the staff have been there for years and a happy working environment clearly makes a happy hotel atmosphere. Many staff address you by name. The gardens are beautiful, spacious and breezy. Multiple pools means children are separated naturally from those who want peace and quiet. This time we had the Saturday seafood buffet included in the price - stupendous selection, even by Thai standards! Food is fine (Italian here was better than the Anantara, which is 50% more expensive).
One plea to management: Your riding stable makes you unique in Thailand, and it's a great facility - your stables and outside arenas are better than many riding schools in Thailand. The equipment is well looked after and the staff love the horses - even if they aren't very knowledgable. Please put a few more resources in! A small amount of regular training for the staff and schooling for the horses. Buy a couple more children's ponies and a few more small pieces of equipment. Advertise the facility better in the hotel, and beyond. Use the grass spaces you have (which no-one else does). This is a really great facility and you aren't making the most of it!
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Dusit Thani Hua Hin hotel occupies a special place within a region known for its spectacular natural beauty along the west coast of the Gulf of Thailand. The coastal town of Hua Hin retains the serene Thai charm that has captured the aristocratic imagination and made it a favoured summer retreat for the Thai Royalty since 1920's. Conveniently located just 2.5 hours from Bangkok by car, its fine sandy beach, superb tropical climate and lush greenery provide the ideal luxury resort atmosphere. Commanding an unspoilt beachfront location, the spectacular Dusit Thani Hua Hin hotel combines sumptuous comfort with wondrous classic traditional style. An ornamental lake, lily pond and tropical gardens flank a magnificent swimming pool. For guests desiring a self-contained resort the luxury hotel provides well-appointed guest rooms, a range of dining and entertainment options, and a variety of sports and recreational facilities including water sports, tennis and squash courts, fitness centre and a horse riding track, plus the tranquil Devarana Spa, Hua Hin for ultimate pampering. With its legendary events and pampering service, the Dusit Thani Hua Hin hotel has been accorded a reputation as the Thai beach resort of choice for Thai aristocracy. ... more less

I am creating a simulation program, and I want the code to be very optimized. Right now I have an array that gets cycled through a lot and in the various for loops I use
for(int i = 0; i<array.length; i++){

I was wondering if it would be faster if I saved a variable in the class to specify this array length, and used that instead. Or if it matters at all.

We've seen witness, after witness, after witness, after witness take the stand, as prosecutors asks the judge to find "probable cause" Lisa and Tim Holland murdered their adoptive son Ricky.
"Is it a difficult standard to meet? Generally, no," says former federal prosecutor and Cooley Law professor Patrick Corbett. He says preliminary exams rarely take more than a few hours, but in this case, the attorneys seem to be pulling out all the stops.
"Think about the downside if [the prosecutor] doesn't," Corbett says. "This case goes down the tubes."
In five days of testimony, just one witness took the stand with evidence on the murder charge specifically. Corbett says a parade of witnesses talking about child abuse helps make the case the Hollands are capable of murder.
"It's a circumstantial evidence case, so it's gonna take some time to flesh it out."
He says, keep in mind, the judge has options. "Each defendant is treated on their own terms," he explains, so the prosecutor must prove both parents knew about the murder either before or during it's commission to send the both to trial on those charges."
Corbett adds this long preliminary hearing means the public is exposed to this case day after day. He says it means it may be harder to find a jury that doesn't know about the case, but he says how much they know shouldn't matter, so long as they claim they don't have their minds made up about the Hollands guilt or innocence.

Cumbrian man to chronicle new house build in online blog
Last updated at 13:25, Tuesday, 10 April 2012
Have you ever wanted to know how to build your own family home from scratch?
Now you can find out thanks to a man who is not only designing and building his own four-bedroom house in the village of Dearham – but giving updates on his progress with an online blog.
Daniel Sowerby, 33, will live in the house with his fiancé Faye Staniforth, 25, and their one-year-old daughter Evie.
Daniel, a building control officer with Allerdale Council, said: "Building my own home has been a lifelong dream that is on the edge of becoming reality.
"With my current home on the market and the introduction of a new family member, baby Evie, my fiancé and I feel like its time to go for it.
"I want to show that building control officers have to go through the same red tape as everyone else.
"I also want to show people how to do the job correctly from inception to completion."
Daniel, who has lived in Dearham near Maryport for all of his life, has moved in with his parents on Main Street until the building in the village is finished.
He has been in the construction industry for all of his working life, starting out as a joiner and carpenter before becoming a building control surveyor. The foundations and drainage have been put in but there is till a long way to go.
Daniel told the News & Star: "Throughout my life I have made a lot of friends that I will be calling on to help assist in the construction to keep the cost to a minimum."
The project has attracted interest from Sky's Self Build TV who will start filming when they have received a schedule.
To follow his progress step-by-step from planning stage through to completion, go to www.plot1townhead.moonfruit.com/#/progress/4552724455.

Evolution in the Holy Land
All creation is the doings of God's hands, no matter how he did it. When I look at a painting, I can connect somehow with the painter, and the same goes with the universe and God.

All creation is the doings of God's hands, no matter how he did it. When I look at a painting, I can connect somehow with the painter, and the same goes with the universe and God.
I became such an expert in young-earth creationist theology and science that it turned into a wrecking ball for my faith.
Conflicts, collisions, and comets are the theme in this week's Saturday Science Links.
In this week's edition, learn about amphibious dinosaurs, frozen bison mummies, and hummingbird combat.
Science is an honest and noble pursuit, evidence of human intellect and curiosity, and to turn away from these is to deny a very important part of who God created us to be in the first place.
From the archives: A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
In science news this week, read about magical nose cells, 45,000 year old thigh bones, and the weirdest looking dinosaur ever.
The former chair of the Harvard University physics department muses on how faith gives meaning to his scientific work.
The story of the Genesis Rock reminds us of how biblical and scientific accounts, despite their different purviews and purposes, remain inexorably linked in our understanding of origins.
My childhood in the evangelical church gave me the toolkit that led me to eventually accept the evidence for evolution, and marvel at the God who created it all.
Recent high-school graduate Jacob shares about his journey from young-earth creationism to evolutionary creationism, and how his faith was challenged and strengthened along the way.
Are black holes in trouble? Could life have come from space? What do we know about the religious lives of Indian scientists? Find the answers to these questions and more.
Read about the death of Wolfhart Pannenberg, still debating creation and evolution, and a really big dinosaur discovery.
This week's news features volcanoes, skeletons, and stars, as well as a thought-provoking new book from InterVarsity press.
From science and religion blogs: quantum uncertainty and God, the remarkable fact that we have come to understand our place in the created order, and the role of theology in making wise choices about the use of technology.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
News about the Ebola outbreak and initiatives in genomic medicine lead our news roundup this week, with a collection of research and learning opportunities in biology and at the science/faith border to follow.
We don't have all the answers and never will. And when God says that he is revealed in his creation, I think that means we need to take care of what we have and understand where we came from. The more I understand how things work, the bigger God gets. When he was just a magician pulling things out of a hat, that doesn't even compare to how I see him now!
