Wild Card Round Playoff Picks – Sunday GamesPosted by on January 7, 2011 – 12:02 pm
We've already shared our picks for Saturday's playoff games. Here are the picks for Sunday's games…
Baltimore Ravens at Kansas City Chiefs – Sunday, 12:00 p.m. CT on CBS
Mike: Can a 12-4 team be underrated? If so, Baltimore is the shining example. The Ravens have logged impressive road wins against the Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers this season, proving they can get the job done against quality teams in hostile environments. On Sunday they'll play another quality team in a (really) hostile environment, and I think they'll get the job done. Kansas City has impressive speed and talent on offense, but Baltimore's stingy and veteran defense will be a step ahead. Terrell Suggs will get to QB Matt Cassel and the Chiefs RB tandem of Jamaal Charles and Thomas Jones will not get away from Ray Lewis and Co.
Prediction: Ravens 34, Chiefs 10
Ryan: Prior to last week's debacle at home against the Raiders, the Chiefs had been playing as well as anyone in the NFL, as their last loss with starting QB Matt Cassel in the lineup was on November 14. However, the 31-10 loss to the Raiders – which was Kansas City's first home loss of the season – is troubling. The Ravens are coming off a pair of unimpressive wins over Cleveland and Cincinnati, but they have just 1 loss in their last 7 games. One would assume the Chiefs will look to establish their stout run game, but it won't be easy against the Ravens 5th-ranked rushing defense. Conversely, Ray Rice has really come on for Baltimore in recent weeks, and Kansas City has given up over 200 rushing yards in 2 of their last 4 games. Baltimore has experience going on the road and winning playoff games, so look for that to continue on Sunday.
Prediction: Ravens 20, Chiefs 17
C.J.: This game will be won at the line of scrimmage. The league's best ground game in the Chiefs will line up against a stingy Ravens defense anchored by veteran LBs Ray Lewis and Terrell Suggs and ball-hawking S Ed Reed. The Ravens are riding a 4-game winning streak into Sunday's matchup, due large in part to RB Ray Rice's impact on offense. The 5-8, 212-pounder has averaged 107.3 yards in the last 3 games with 2 TDs. Rice can also catch the ball out of the backfield and I think he'll be a major factor in the outcome of this game.
Prediction: Ravens 20, Chiefs 16
Green Bay Packers at Philadelphia Eagles – Sunday, 3:30 p.m. CT on FOX
Mike: My heart says Eagles because I want Green Bay to be eliminated. But my head says Packers because I believe Vick is still injured and the Packers will follow a plan similar to the Vikings, where blitzes came early and often. Don't get me wrong, Philadelphia has the athletes to beat a blitz-happy attack, plus I think Andy Reid is one of the best coaches in the NFL. But I question Philadelphia's ability to stop the Packers aerial attack and I don't question Green Bay's ability to stifle Michael Vick. Packers Head Coach Mike McCarthy and QB Aaron Rodgers haven't won a playoff game yet, but unfortunately I think they'll win one on Sunday to cap a fun Wild Card Weekend.
Prediction: Packers 27, Eagles 20
Ryan: In what could be the "most fun" of all the games this weekend to watch as a fan, the Packers return to the site of where their season began by taking on the Eagles in Philly. In that game, Mike Vick replaced Kevin Kolb at QB at halftime. Vick nearly brought the Eagles back from a 20-3 hole but the Eagles ended up losing 27-20. Fast-forward to this Sunday, where the Eagles will look to right the ship after a pair of home losses to bad teams in the form of Minnesota and Dallas. The Packers are coming off a pair of must-wins at home against the Giants and Bears, which locked them into the playoffs and have a defense that could give the high-powered Eagles offense fits. The Packers finished 24th in the NFL in rushing offense, so if they are unable to keep Philly's offense off the field via sustained drives, that will give the likes of DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin more chances to create the explosive plays they've been delivering all year. Look for a shootout in a "who has the ball last wins" kind of a game.
Prediction: Packers 34, Eagles 27
C.J.: If you're only able to catch one game this weekend, this is the game to watch. I'm expecting a QB duel between Aaron Rodgers and Michael Vick with a lot of yardage to go with it. The Eagles boast a 2nd-ranked offense averaging 389.4 yards per game while the Packers like to air it out, averaging a top 5 passing offense at 257.8 passing YPG. Green Bay offers a top 5 overall defense in the passing game, but Vick – even if he is still injured – will make big plays through the air to playmaker DeSean Jackson, and on his feet. His biggest play won't come until after regulation, though, as Vick and Co. pull out an OT thriller.
Prediction: Eagles 30, Packers 24 in OT

Kevin Williams Named To NFC Pro Bowl SquadPosted by on January 7, 2011 – 11:39 am
Vikings DT Kevin Williams was named to the NFC Pro Bowl team on Friday, replacing injured Detroit Lions DT Ndamukong Suh. It marks the 5th straight season that Williams was recognized as a Pro Bowler and the 6th time overall in his 8-year career.
Williams started all 16 games for the Vikings during the 2010 season and finished with 49 tackles, 9 tackles-for-loss, 7 passes defended, 1.0 sack and 1 forced fumble. He has totaled 49.5 sacks in his career, the most among DTs in the NFL since he entered the NFL in 2003.
"I look at it as a great honor by your peers and your coaches around the league to be selected to the Pro Bowl," Williams said. "I really enjoy it and I really appreciate the honor."
Williams joins RB Adrian Peterson as the 2nd Viking on the NFC Pro Bowl squad.
"It's great to be with Adrian," Williams said. "I see him every day and he's going to give you the same thing. Those guys better watch out. It's a nice time to converse with all your peers and just catch up with all the guys after a tough season."
RB Adrian Peterson (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010)
DT Kevin Williams (2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010)

Wild Card Round Playoff Picks – Saturday GamesPosted by on January 7, 2011 – 8:21 am
Wild Card Weekend is nearly upon us and since the Vikings are not involved, vikings.com is going into full prognostication mode. We can look into our crystal balls and predict what will happen without worrying about potential ramifications of playing a team that we trashed the week prior on the blog.
Below you'll find predictions by yours truly, Ryan Cardinal and C.J. Siewert on this Saturday's playoff games, complete with an explanation and score. This afternoon we'll post our picks for Sunday's games.
At the end of the weekend, we'll tally up the games and the person who proves to be most accurate will have a Wild Card Weekend recap for you on Monday morning.
Before we get started, let's get Super Bowl predictions out of the way as well.
Mike: New England over New Orleans
There's no way I'm taking any team over the Patriots at Gillette Stadium. And since the Patriots have home-field advantage, they advance to the Super Bowl in my book. The Saints are the best team in the NFC in my estimation and we'll see a nice showdown between a pair of explosive offenses and play-making defenses.
Ryan: New England over Atlanta
I don't like taking the "chalk" in things like this, but New England is just a steam-roller right now in the AFC. With the Falcons, they have the most balance of any team in the NFC on offense and I think that home-field advantage in the Georgia Dome will be too much for any team to overcome. Their home loss to the Saints a few weeks ago will have done wonders for this team over the next few weeks.
C.J.: Atlanta over Indianapolis
That's right, New England will not make it to the "big show." I mulled over this many times and I feel the only thing that can beat Tom Brady and Co. is a lights-out Peyton Manning. The Colts star QB will make another Super Bowl run in beating the Pats on the road, but fall short to a surging Falcons team. Atlanta provides a proficient and disciplined team that has what it takes to win it all.
Okay, onto the games…
New Orleans Saints at Seattle Seahawks – Saturday, 3:30 p.m. CT on NBC
Mike: There aren't many who give the Seahawks even a slim chance in their Wild Card round matchup with the Saints. Seattle got in by defeating the St. Louis Rams last week to win the NFC West, widely considered the worst division in the NFL this year. But I'll give the Seahawks a chance, primarily because they have a nice home-field advantage and also because weird things tend to happen when no one gives you a chance. Seattle isn't winning the game, though. Right?
Prediction: Saints 26, Seahawks 16
Ryan: There is not a more unpredictable league in the world than the NFL, but it seems as though it would take a minor miracle for the NFC West champion Seahawks to pull off the upset this weekend at home against the defending Super Bowl Champion Saints. New Orleans is a double-digit favorite on the road in this game, which is something you rarely see in the NFL playoffs. Seattle won the NFC West with a 7-9 record after topping the Rams last Sunday at Qwest Field, but have an unsettled quarterback situation due to injuries and have won just three of their last 10 games. The Saints are a little beat-up too, especially in regards to their running backs, but they should be able to come away with a victory this weekend.
Prediction: Saints 31, Seahawks 14
C.J.: The Saints enter the playoffs on the other end of the spectrum than they did a year ago; they've gone from the #1 seed with a bye to a Wild Card team facing a division champ. But the division champ here is the 7-9 Seahawks and it's hard for me to envision Seattle's 27th-ranked pass defense to do much of anything to stop Drew Brees and Co.'s 3rd-ranked passing offense. In their last meeting (Week 11 at New Orleans), Brees torched the Seahawks secondary with 382 yards and 4 TDs.
Prediction: Saints 38, Seahawks 17
NY Jets at Indianapolis Colts – Saturday, 7:00 p.m. CT on NBC
Mike: Jets Head Coach Rex Ryan declared this week that his team's playoff matchup with the Colts is "personal" and I think that characterizes the tone of this game quite well actually. You might not like how the Jets do it, but they are a good team that wins a lot of games because of their defense and reliable running game. The Colts have quietly put together another playoff-caliber season, despite dealing with a mass of injuries. Peyton Manning and home-field advantage will be enough for Indianapolis to win this game, but not in the next round.
Prediction: Colts 28, Jets 24
Ryan: After an overtime home loss to the Cowboys in early December that left the Colts sitting at 6-6 on the season, Peyton Manning and Co. rattled off 4 wins in a row to win another AFC South crown. However, this version of the Colts isn't nearly what the team has been in recent years, due in large part to injuries which have really taken a toll on them. The Jets, meanwhile, lost 3 of their last 5 games but two of those were on the road to very good teams in New England and Chicago, and they also mixed in an impressive win at Pittsburgh over that stretch. Manning has owned Rex Ryan-led defenses over the last decade or so, but between the Colts injuries and their inability to run the ball, look for the Jets to control the clock via their power rushing attack and play enough defense to pull the upset.
Prediction: Jets 23, Colts 20
C.J.: They haven't met since last year's AFC Championship Game, but the Jets and Colts are geared up for what seems to be a rivalry matchup. Colts QB Peyton Manning has thrown the most INTs (17) since his 2002 campaign, but also led his team to 4 consecutive wins to finish the season with a 9-2 TD-to-INT ratio during that span. The Jets are known to bring the pressure on 3rd down – blitzing in the area of 70% of the time in such situations – but if Manning finds the open man, which he typically does, the Colts will be too much to handle for Rex Ryan's team at home.
Prediction: Colts 24, Jets 20

Quote of the Day
"Making information free is survivable so long as only limited numbers of people are disenfranchised. As much as it pains me to say so, we can survive if we only destroy the middle classes of musicians, journalists, and photographers. What is not survivable is the additional destruction of the middle classes in transportation, manufacturing, energy, office work, education, and health care. And all that destruction will come surely enough if the dominant idea of an information economy isn't improved."
-- Jaron Lanier, "Who Owns the Future?," pg. 16

I dont think there is any cure for asthma. Most asthmatic individuals just grow out of it. but you can avoid making it worse though.

It's true that some patients grow out of it. However, others require maintenance medication to keep their asthma under control.

andyboyz Group TitleBest ResponseYou've already chosen the best response.0
Asthma attack can be cured by bronchodilators.To prevent asthma attack one can take prophylactic medicines.To cure asthma is quite not possible but reducing the episodes to near zero is possible by avoiding the irritant or allergic substance and preventing upper respiratory infection.

Lois Group TitleBest ResponseYou've already chosen the best response.0
You cannot cure it, but a doctor can treat it in an emergency with bronchodilators, oxygen, and epinephrine. MD may also prescribe steroids to inhale for use every day which will help in the long run, but not in an emergency. Sometimes MD will prescribe steroids in pill form. They also may prescribe leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRAs) which are in a pill form and work by blocking the action of substances that cause airway swelling and tightening.

Tim Lincecum is on a roll. Will he be smart and just not pitch to Aaron Hill and Paul Goldschmidt so he can continue to have success? Will Anibal Sanchez continue to dominate the Royals? Will Ray Flowers continue to binge watch 24: Live Another Day?Here are the BVP matchups for Friday, July 11th.
* NOTE: Players are listed in alphabetical order for the sake of making them easily sortable/findable. The matchups are also generated based on Batter vs. Pitcher data. Just because a player is not listed does not mean that he is a bad or good play. The players listed below are mentioned merely because of the BVP data for the matchup.
DISH DIAMONDS – The Best Hitting Matchups of the Day
Elvis Andrus has hit a solid .333 over 21 at-bats, but it's his wheels that excite when Garrett Richards is throwing. Continue...
FA Assistant GM
Ray Flowers
Darren Graham - At this point, think you have to keep Calhoun. He's been killing it the last month, scoring a run per game, and hitting.
Darren Graham
Hello Ray, With Trumbo being activated from the DL, I need to drop an outfielder. Who do you like more going forward: Calhoun or Yelich? I see that you have them ranked fairly close in the July rankings thanks!
Ray Flowers
Miguel Enguidanos - I dont give guys away in trades. You dont want to hand the competition free guys. Be careful with that. As for the pitchers, my rankings are right here - top 100 SPs ranked: http://www.fantasyalarm.com/rankings.php - Obviously down arrows for Cole/Wilson who are on DL. I would drop Cole of the two. MB, Gallardo, Santana are all moderate options who could be dealt. However, going to relievers and hoping for wins, not a good plan.
Ray Flowers
Richard Costa - At this point I'd go Wright. He's been hitting very well the past two weeks, thinking he's finally getting healthy and on track.
Ray Flowers
Christopher Backhaus - Long away away in the DR! Miller is lost. Wrote about him here: http://www.fantasyalarm.com/articles/flowers/18785/mlb-week-15-mailbag/ . I wrote about Duffy there too. I would prefer Lynn/Weaver as well. Miller is so messed up, I just dont want to give up two arms and get him back.
Miguel Enguidanos
Hi Ray, as we have discussed trading has been difficult. I have 49 starts left for my SPs this season with 2.5 months to go. I'm thinking I should just try to give some of these guys away in trades. Who would you keep for the rest of the season out of Fister, Cueto, CJ Wilson, Gallardo, Buehrle, E. Santana, G. Cole. Cole and Wilson are on DL for now but I only have one DL. It is a 12 team 5x5 roto. I'm in 2nd. My thinking is to get rid of Buehrle, Gallardo and Santana and fill in with some guys who will not start but get me strikes and maybe even wins. Thoughts?
Richard Costa
Morning Ray. Received an offer to swap 3Bs. I have Ryan Zimmerman and I was offered David Wright straight up. You have them ranked back-to-back as of July 1, do you have any further thoughts? If they are equally ranked, I might counter and have him through in a reliever (HDs) since he seems to prefer Zimmerman.
Christopher Backhaus
Hello Ray, Morning from Dominican Republic! Got this trade offer: Get: Alex Rios + Shelby Miller Send: Cliff Lee + Duffy What you think? The other side has also Lynn/Weaver which I prefer than Miller, but the other team is not willing to trade Lynn. Curreny Team, H2H: Lucroy, Chisenhall, Pedroia, Andrus, Stanton, Cespedes, Marte, Hunter, P. Alvarez, Arenado, Edwind (DL). Yu, Shields, Kluber, Burnett, Hudson, Odorizzi, Duffy, Lee (DL), Wilson (DL), Holland, Melancon, Hawkins. Also, looking to add Ozuna. Should I drop Hunter, Alvarez, Arenado or Chisenhall? I have get Rios, I am willing to hold Alvarez to offset his low avg. Thanks for your input.
Mark Lathrop
I've been offered Ryan Braun for Johnny Cueto. I'm dominating pitching right now (have Kershaw & Wainwright) but woeful in hitting. In a normal year this would be a good sell high-buy low deal but I don't want to just give up my pitching edge for an injury-plagued OF. Can Braun get it turned around in the second half? Or should I counter for someone else on his team like Dozier or Longoria?
Ray Flowers
Mark Lathrop - Cueto has been so amazing, I'd try to get more. The deal is OK on paper, top SP for top OF, but Braun hasn't exactly been the most productive guy , and further, all those injuries are more of an issue for me. Ultimately I would turn it down. Dozier has predictably slowed, and Longoria just can't seem to put it all together. I wouldn't deal Cueto for either of those two 1 for 1.

text: Obama's Hypocrisy on Identity Politics by Joel B. Pollak Jun 30, 2013 3:20 PM PT Share This: Print President Barack Obama's speech to the University of Cape Town was bland, self-referential--and also deeply hypocritical. It takes some gall to lecture Africans about corruption, respect for journalists, and investment in energy when your own administration is failing so deeply on each of these counts. But I want to single out the president's hypocrisy on one issue in particular: identity politics, which he singled out in his keynote address. Obama has repeated his attack on identity politics twice in the past month--first in Northern Ireland, where he earned the ire of Catholics by seeming to suggest that religious schools helped drive conflict, and now in South Africa, where he told the Cape Town audience: "the source of conflict involves the choices ordinary people make that divide us from one another--black from white, Christian from Muslim, tribe from tribe." Think about that for a moment: the choices ordinary people make. Not the choices governments make, even though governments are almost always the key drivers of sectarian conflict worldwide. To take an extreme example, in Rwanda people did not simply grab machetes and slaughter their neighbors; they had to be indoctrinated to do so, first by the rigid divisions of the colonial era, then official "Hutu Power" propaganda. Obama did note in Cape Town that the problem is not identity per se, but the fact that "some use these identities to justify subjugation." In South Africa, that "some" was the government--first the British colonial administration; then the Afrikaner nationalists of the apartheid era; and now, to a lesser but still damaging extent, the ideologues and self-enriching rent-seekers of the ruling African National Congress. The "ordinary people" Obama blames are usually prepared to live and let live, even as they "cling" to their own identities. Indeed, one of the striking features of South African society is its tolerance for difference. To Obama, however, that "clinging" has always been problematic. He has never understood it; nor have the post-modern poets of Hollywood, who believe holding to tradition or values necessarily breeds hatred and war. The irony is that Obama himself has used identity politics to divide Americans and mobilize his voter base--from his prejudicial pronouncements on the racially-inflamed Trayvon Martin case, to his pandering to illegal immigrants, to his incessant class-warfare rhetoric against the same "rich" from whom he raises money and to whom he grants appointments. Obama, not ordinary people, chose to divide Americans. He should talk! Identity is bad, except for your mandatory socialist awareness by John Hayward Jul 1, 2013 6:30 AM PT Share This: Print In response to Obama's Hypocrisy on Identity Politics: It really is something to watch the most bitterly divisive President in American history lecture other people about identity politics. Particularly if you step back from the identity-politics gambits made by Obama himself over the years - get in their faces, punish your enemies, bitter clingers, "you didn't build that," and his constant insinuation that people who don't support him are motivated by racial discomfort - and look at what the various arms of his campaign were doing. A great deal of his 2012 polling strength in certain districts was marshaled by telling minority voters that common-sense voter ID laws were a racist conspiracy to suppress them. "Identity politics" are just fine with liberals, provided they approve of the identity in question. What's the divisive propaganda quotient in the religious schools Obama suddenly seems to hate, compared to what gets dished out in the public schools he'll do anything to keep kids - most especially including minority kids - from escaping? As you noted, even a fairly extreme sense of identity is largely harmless until political organization and State power are added to the mix. No one has trouble living next to Amish communities with a powerful sense of religious identity, because the Amish are not interested in accumulating political power so they can use the force of government to impose their beliefs on anyone else. There's something deeply creepy about Obama's description of "the choices ordinary people make that divide us from one another." We're supposed to be free to make those choices, and yet still respect the rules of civic order. The founders of the American republic believed this was a universal principle, applicable to all mankind, not just an American point of law. And while the situation in Africa is quite different from the United States, there are some essential similarities as well. We have tribal identities here, based on cultural choices and geographic location. Our tribal clashes tend to be far more good-natured than what President Obama was speaking out against, but alas, there is some violent friction as well. We've also got a good deal of voluntary racial segregation, from cities to college campuses, and it's not all happening at the whim of white people. Want a good current example of bitterly divisive American identity politics? Take a look at the "Stand With Wendy" personality cult of abortion extremists. That's nothing but an aggressive declaration of identity-based warfare against a hated Other. The position Wendy Davis "stood for" has something like 16 percent support from the American people. I suspect a lot of the people bellowing "Stand with Wendy!' on Twitter would vomit with revulsion if they got a good long look at the hellish procedure she's championing; they would howl in outrage if any other big-bucks industry behaved like the one she's defending. But they deeply dislike the people on the other side of the argument, and they love having a hip, cool icon they can empower with their focused bitterness. Barack Obama, who is another such icon, has no problems whatsoever with this outbreak of identity politics; he openly supports Davis. Life in a constitutional republic involves getting along with others without sacrificing your identity. Life in a socialist basket case involves accepting an identity custom-built by the hive mind of the State, which has some very particular ideas about what its people must believe. advertisement Breitbart Video Picks advertisement advertisement Most Popular Fox News National When pigs fly?

Opinion pieces on the foodservice equipment and supplies industry from leaders and laymen from all aspects of the business, including dealers, distributors, design consultants and multi-unit operators.
A cross the top of the National Baseball Hall of Fame's website are three phrases that seem to describe the organization's objectives: "Preserving History. Honoring Excellence. Connecting Generations." And I can't think of a better way to describe why we at FE&S are recognizing David Stafford Sr. of Stafford-Smith with the magazine's 2012 Hall of Fame Award.
The 2012 IFMA Silver Plate winner in healthcare discusses foodservice and sustainability challenges at the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center.
The concept of running sustainable, environmentally friendly foodservice operations is far from new. That being the case, why haven't we, as an industry, made more progress in this area?
This was the subject line of one of the first of many, many e-mails, calls and even handwritten notes I received following this year's Dealer of the Year and Industry Awards Gala. Oh, what a night, indeed. Some of the evening's highlights include a record-sized crowd, excitement, humor, good will and even a few tears.
Sous vide, energy efficiency took center stage for the foodservice equipment community during the 2012 NRA Show.
Do Americans have an unlimited love for hamburgers?
Juan Martinez reviews his favorite things about the 2012 NRA Show.
Longtime foodservice industry observer Jerry Stiegler shares some economic and foodservice industry-related data. This week's article includes the Knapp Track Report, financial results for a number of chains and more.
Jerry Stiegler's Green Sheet comes to FE&S as a regular feature.
Foodservice equipment: the operator needs it and the equipment manufacturer, rep and dealer want to sell and install it. One of the major responsibilities of a professional foodservice design consultant is the selection and specification of the foodservice equipment used in the design of an institutional or commercial foodservice project. The projects can be as simple as a small church kitchen used once or twice a month or as complex as a centralized kitchen responsible for producing 100,000 or more meals a day.
When business leaders talk about the success of their organizations, they often cite their people and corporate culture as the company's two most important differentiating factors.

5 Things You Didn't Know: Accenture Match Play
GOLF.com goes inside the numbers to give you insights from the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship.
Woods has struck gold at World Golf Championships
Tiger Woods earned $1.35 million for winning the match play last weekend. In the 10-year history of World Golf Championships, he has earned $19.8 million. That total alone would rank 17th on the career-earnings list, ahead of Tom Lehman ($19.72 million), Chris DiMarco ($19.68 million), Sergio Garcia ($19.64 million) and Fred Couples ($19.37 million). In his career, Tiger has won $78,865,376, about $23 million more than his nearest competitor, Vijay Singh.

Gibson Area Hospital Recognized by Independent Healthcare Ratings Organization as a 5-star Facility
November 10, 2012
Gibson Area Hospital & Health Services (GAHHS) orthopedic program today received a five-star designation from Healthgrades for total hip replacement and hip fracture treatment, the leading provider of information to help consumers make an informed decision about a physician or hospital. The findings are part of American Hospital Quality Outcomes 2013: Healthgrades Report to the Nation, which evaluated the performance of approximately 4,500 hospitals nationwide across nearly 30 of the most common conditions and procedures. Healthgrades based its objective measures solely on clinical performances by analyzing nearly 40 million Medicare hospitalization records for services performed from 2009–2011.
GAHHS Chief Compliance Office and Marketing Director, Mike Meunier said, "Our vision is to be the model of excellence in rural health care, and this award solidifies that not only are we accomplishing our vision, we are exceeding it. This 5 star award covers all hospitals in Illinois, and to be selected as the Best hospital in the Champaign-Urbana region in Total Hip Replacement and Hip Fracture Repair in 2012 is a testament to our entire hospital and medical staff."
A wide variation in quality exists among American hospitals, according to the Healthgrades report. Patients were 61% less likely to experience a major in-hospital complication when being treated at a five-star hospital when compared with a one-star hospital across a range of common procedures, such as total knee replacement and spine surgeries.
Meunier said, "When it comes to investments in our service lines, we do not put a price tag on patient safety or quality. Our number one ranking in patient satisfaction scores over the past several years only exemplifies our total commitment to the communities we serve. This starts with attracting the finest physicians and providers, along with investing in state of the art technology and equipment. Our vision and values through working with the hospital staff, Board of Directors, and community has strategically positioned GAHHS to continue this success for years to come."
The Healthgrades study also found that from 2009 through 2011:
- A total of 183,534 in-hospital complications could have been avoided during hospital stays if all hospitals performed at a five-star level.
- Patients were 42% less likely to experience an in-hospital complication in five-star hospitals versus all other hospitals.
Healthgrades independently measures hospitals based on data that hospitals submit to the federal government. No hospital can opt in or out of the analysis, and no hospital pays to be measured. Mortality and complication rates are risk adjusted, which takes into each hospital's unique population.
The American Hospital Quality Outcomes 2013: Healthgrades Report to the Nation, including the complete methodology, can be found at www.healthgrades.com/quality.

IRBIL, Iraq – An Iraqi general said Saturday that Baghdad was secure, as hundreds of Iraqis converged on volunteer centers across the capital in response to a call by Iraq's highest Shiite cleric to fight back against a Sunni jihadist group making gains across the north.
Maj. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi, speaking on behalf of the armed forces, told reporters in Baghdad that the city was stable and that the military was coordinating with forces in Samarra and other areas north of the capital to retake territory claimed by the insurgents.
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel ordered a U.S. aircraft carrier, cruiser and destroyer into the Persian Gulf, which Pentagon spokesman said was intended to give President Barack Obama additional flexibility should military options be required to protect American lives, citizens and interests in Iraq.
Iran's president, Hassan Rouhani, meanwhile, said his country was prepared to step in to help Iraq.
We are ready to help Iraq within the framework of international law, and if the Iraqi government and nation ask us to do so, we will consider it, Rouhani told reporters in Tehran.
But Iran's interior minister, Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli, said the country has no intention of sending military forces to Iraq.
Instead we'll provide consultation and guidance to Iraqi forces, Fazli told reporters in Tehran, according to the semiofficial Mehr News Agency. But if terrorists get close to our borders, we will destroy them.
Both sides in the conflict claimed Saturday to have inflicted heavy casualties. The Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant said on its official Twitter account that it had executed 1,700 Shiite soldiers Friday. Meanwhile, the pro-government Iraqia satellite channel reported that Iraqi forces had killed nearly 300 terrorists across northern Iraq on Saturday.
An Iraqi official said Friday that the number of new recruits had reached 30,000, but that number does not approach the roughly 90,000 soldiers who he said earlier had evaporated overnight as ISIL advanced. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to provide the data.
In Baghdad, fallout from the stunning advance in the north was beginning to affect daily life for the city's 7 million inhabitants.
Some food prices rose dramatically. Army troops went house-to-house searching for militants and weapons in neighborhoods close to vital government installations. The streets of the capital were quieter than usual, and military and police checkpoints made extra efforts to check cars and passenger IDs.
The price hikes were partly the result of transportation disruptions on the main road linking the capital with provinces to the north.
I do not know how the poor people in Baghdad will manage their life in the coming days. hunger is as dangerous as bullets, said Yasser Abbas, a government employee from Baghdad's sprawling eastern Sadr City district.
On Friday, Maliki addressed the nation from the city of Samarra, north of Baghdad, where Iraq's worst period of sectarian bloodshed began with the bombing of a sacred Shiite shrine in 2006.
He called the symbolic city – also the home town of the jihadists' commander, Abu Bakr Baghdadi – a launchpad for the fight against ISIL, Reuters reported.
Maliki insisted that the country is not sectarian and will fight as a nation.

Army reservist from Spotsylvania pleads guilty to taking cars, cash, sex for contracts.
From STAFF and WIRE REPORTS
WASHINGTON--A former U.S. Army Reserve officer from Spotsylvania County admitted yesterday that he steered millions of dollars in Iraq-reconstruction contracts in trade for jewelry, computers, cigars and sexual favors.
Bruce D. Hopfengardner, 46, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit money laundering and wire fraud.
Hopfengardner served as a special adviser to the U.S.-led occupation, recommending funding for projects on law-enforcement facilities in Iraq.
He admitted conspiring with Philip H. Bloom, a U.S. citizen with businesses in Romania, Robert J. Stein Jr., a former Defense Department contract official, and others to create a corrupt bidding process that included the theft of $2 million in reconstruction money.
Hopfengardner is the first military officer to plead guilty in the conspiracy. Bloom and Stein already have pleaded guilty to charges stemming from the scheme.
Hopfengardner's role was to recommend that the Coalition Provisional Authority fund projects to demolish the Ba'ath Party headquarters, rebuild a police academy and construct various other facilities.
Bloom, who controlled companies in Iraq and Romania, bid on projects using dummy corporations. Stein ensured that one of the firms was awarded the contract, according to court documents.
The businessman allegedly showered Hopfengardner and Stein with cash, cars, premium airline seats, jewelry, alcohol and even sexual favors from women at his Baghdad villa.
"A lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army today admits to a disturbing abuse of his position, in scheming with others to defraud the government for their own personal and financial gain," Assistant Attorney General Alice S. Fisher said in a statement.
Court papers said Hopfengardner demanded that Bloom pay for a white 2004 GMC Yukon Denali with a sandstone interior. At Hopfengardner's request, Bloom also allegedly paid the air fare for Hopfengardner and his wife to travel from San Francisco to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., while he was on leave in January 2004.
E-mails that prosecutors made public in April show that Bloom told his employees to spare no expense in satisfying the officials who controlled contracts in the CPA's regional office in Hillah, about 50 miles south of Baghdad.
As part of the plea agreement, Hopfengardner surrendered a car, a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, camera equipment, a Breitling watch valued at $5,700 and a computer. He also agreed to forfeit $144,500, prosecutors said.
