States are working to ensure medical surge capacity in mass casualty events like terrorist attacks and natural disasters, but difficult work remains, according to a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report released Monday.
The 9-11 attacks, combined with the threat of natural disasters and disease pandemics, led Congress to request a GAO study of states' ability to provide adequate healthcare in such crises, and what the federal government can do to help.
The report identifies four key tasks states must address to provide adequate medical surge capacity. They must increase hospital capacity, establish alternate care sites to supplement existing hospital beds, and register and credential volunteer medical professionals. Finally, states must prepare altered care plans, essentially mass triage criteria to determine who would receive care during a major emergency, and who would not.
States have done well addressing the first three components, but have experienced difficulty satisfying the fourth, the GAO found.
According to 20 states' emergency preparedness planning documents, all were developing bed reporting systems coordinated with department of Defense and Veterans Affairs hospitals to boost hospital surge capacity.
Eighteen of the 20 states were also in the process of choosing alternate care sites. One, according to the GAO, bought three mobile medical facilities, equipped with 200 beds each, to be placed in different parts of the state.
Fifteen of the states surveyed register volunteers electronically, and all but one of them had begun to verify the volunteers' medical qualifications. The report notes, however, that the verification processes do not completely identify " volunteers' skills and capabilities for providing care in a hospital."
Yet only 7 of the 20 states reviewed were developing triage plans. "Some states," says the report, "reported that they had not begun work on or completed altered standards of care guidelines due to the difficulty of addressing the medical, ethical, and legal issues involved in making life-or-death decisions about which patients would get access to scarce resources." Despite using federal guidelines when drawing up altered care plans, many states told the GAO they needed more assistance.
The federal government awarded states $2.2 billion from 2002 to 2007 to help them reach disaster preparedness goals, including the development of medical surge capacity. Furthermore, the government has provided states a checklist of entities to leverage for more resources in case of a mass casaulty event in such documents as Reopening Shuttered Hospitals to Expand Surge Capacity.
Nevertheless, officials from the 20 states reviewed still harbor concerns, from shortages of medical professionals to whether or not they will be reimbursed for providing medical services at alternate sites, GAO found. State officials also reported volunteers wondered whether or not they would have to respond outside their state if state volunteer directories became part of a national database.
GAO recommended that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) serve as the clearinghouse for sharing the altered standards of care guidelines developed by some states and medical experts. HHS did not respond to the recommendation, according to GAO.
HHS has however, together with leading emergency care physicians, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Department of Homeland Security, developed triage guidelines for critical care in a pandemic. For more on those guidelines and accompanying challenges, see "Hard Questions in Emergency Critical Care" in the upcoming August Issue of Security Management.

How to look good wearing stripes? Well, the theory goes like this…. if you are curvy you should wear vertical stripes to look thinner, if skinny, wear horizontal ones to look larger. It can get a little more complicated when it comes to matching stripes, choosing between thick or thin ones, and between the sailor-like [...]

text: Out & Equal Atlanta offers training for LGBT allies in the workplace The GA Voice Editors June 22, 2011 Atlanta "We want to help break down barriers and help companies create a culturally competent environment to come out of the closet and be open at work," Tansill says. Out & Equal Atlanta has been around for two years and is run completely by volunteers. Tansill is co-chair with Chip Newton, who works for Deloitte LLC. Other board members work for such companies as Delta Air Lines, UPS, Hewlett Packard and Macy's. Out & Equal also focuses on building support for allies of LGBT people. MORE INFORMATION: Ally Empowerment Tour Thursday, June 23 Free 3-5 p.m.— Ally Empowerment Training (includes copy of 'Allies at Work') 5:30-8 p.m. — Reception and evening program The Home Depot Store Support Center 2455 Paces Ferry Road SE Atlanta, GA 30339-1834 For more information and to register, click here. The "Ally Empowerment Tour" hosted by Out & Equal Atlanta on Thursday, June 23, offers training and education for straight allies and was inspired by the book "Allies at Work" by David M. Hall, a straight ally. The tour includes an optional two-hour seminar for potential straight allies about the experiences of LGBT people as well as information on how the workplace is affected and "what makes an ally and how attendees can become powerful allies to their LGBT friends and colleagues." The afternoon workshop will be followed by a reception and program open to the public. Because the tour stop in Atlanta is being sponsored by Home Depot, the entire program is free. From the national Out & Equal organization about why the Ally Empowerment Tour was started: Out & Equal recognizes that our straight allies are often our best resource when it comes to achieving workplace equality and inclusion for LGBT people in the workplace. Yet all too often our LGBT workplace leaders don't know how to get more allies involved, or how to even find them. At the same time, many of our straight colleagues who want to be allies don't know they are welcome – or how to get involved. Tansill knows firsthand the importance of having allies in the workforce. She worked at Coca-Cola for 20 years and left five years ago. But she remained in the closet for much of her career at the soft-drink company until she was promoted to senior management. She decided she had to come out to ensure her colleagues could trust her. "If they found out, they might think if she's hiding this from us, what else is she hiding," Tansill says. While at Coca-Cola, Tansill had a good friend who was an ally, helping make it more comfortable for her to be effective at her job and be who she is. "Anytime you can have someone walk in someone else's shoes it helps develop better understanding," she says. Top photo: Sibby Tansill, co-chair of Out & Equal Atlanta, says the nonprofit's mission is to help companies create safe spaces for LGBT employees to come out in the workplace.

WWDC 2013 to announce iOS 7, OS X 10.9 previews: What else?
Summary: UPDATED (June 3, 2013): Apple's developer conference will unveil many new product announcements, with a general focus on software. What should we expect to see this month when Apple's Tim Cook and others take to the stage in California? Here's what we think.
6 of 19Image
iOS 7: No more skeuomorphism!
One of the key changes expected in the next-generation mobile platform is the removal of skeuomorphism — a design that emulates the real item. The Notes app looked like a notepad, the Contacts app looked like a leather-bound organizer, and the Game Center sported a felt-like interface.
Instead, all apps will likely look and perform the same. New user interface guidelines may also be introduced as part of iOS 7 to bring a more consistent approach to the platform's design.
OS X 10.9 to be announced after iOS 7
We also know that OS X 10.9 will also be announced during the conference, but iOS 7 will likely have to be announced first, so the company doesn't blow the lid on any additions to OS X.
Apple has in recent years increasingly 'iOS-ified' its desktop platform with mobile-related features, in a bid to expand the wider ecosystem of Apple products.
OS X 10.9: Increased 'iOS-ification' between mobile and desktop
Apple began to bridge the gap between OS X and iOS 7 with OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion as it introduced Launchpad and apps ported from the mobile platform.
OS X 10.9 is therefore expected to become even 'easier' than it already is, according to reports. Designed with new users in mind, OS X will likely include a deeper integration of iOS 7's features. We can expect greater cooperation across the Apple desktop and mobile software ecosystem.
Other reports suggested that more "power features" will arrive in the next-generation platform, such as "app pausing," which allows devices to conserve battery power by not constantly using processing power on apps that are not in use.

Do you hurt so much, you would like to end it all? Are you not able to concentrate on anything except all that you feel you have lost? I know how you feel. When I lost my ex I pretty much lived in a daze for 2 years. I didn't know if I was coming for going. Some would say I'd gone.
Thankfully I did get over it and you can too.
Did you know there are at least 5 stages of a break up that you, emotionally must go through to move forward?
You don't have to sit, wallow, feel sorry for yourself and everybody else. Your world can change in an instant if you want it to. If you want to, you can also attract your ex back into your life and have an even better relationship than you did before.
How can you possible do that?
It's much easy than you think.
1. You need to figure out what you want in a relationship. Then go after it. The easiest way I've found to do that is by using all the techniques that are part of the Law of Attraction.
When you combine all of the steps and techniques, your whole life changes for the better, not just your relationships, but every area of your life.
2. You need to let go of all your own negative emotions you have towards yourself and your ex. That doesn't mean you have to forgive him for what he may have do. You just need to lessen the negative emotional attachment you have over him or things and events that took place.
Once you do that, you easily attract him or anybody you want in to your life with great ease and speed.
Warning: Once you let go of your own negative emotions and feelings. You're relationships will change forever.
Do you want to learn how to let go of the pain quickly and easily?

Bridget McManus gets physical on "The Queen Latifah Show"
AE: Which reminds me. You painted a Queen Latifah Thanksgiving painting.
BM: You mean Queen Laturkey!
AE: [laughs] Yes! Only you would do that.
BM: The fact that they let me be myself is insane.
AE: I heard the show wanted to keep the Laturkey painting on the set, but Queen Latifah wanted to take it home. And now, one of your paintings lives in Queen Latifah's house.
BM: She so sweet, so generous. And she's so funny! When you watch her movies or watch her perform, you can see she's a star. She has such charisma and she's so dynamic, but she's even better in person. Queen Latifah is a shining, bright light and she's even more extraordinary to work with.
AE: That's really rare. As we both know…
BM: I think show business can make people crazy. People are desperate or are reaching for a goal they haven't acquired yet. So, there are people who are unhappy. I've been extremely lucky that I work with really happy, really generous people.
AE: You also work with your wife, right here on AfterEllen.
BM: Yes, I work with a person named Karman Kregloe. She's one tough boss!
AE: I know! It's as if she thinks she's in charge or something.
BM: And she's really cute. [laughs] We're celebrating our six-year anniversary.
AE: Just so you know, I continue to take credit for you guys getting married. If I hadn't interviewed you, you would never have met her. Basically, I gave birth to both of you.
BM: Thank you Dara. I can't thank you enough.
AE: I still remember when Karman and I met you face-to-face at the Comedy Store in Hollywood. You could not take your eyes off her. I was talking to you and you weren't listening. In fact, you wouldn't even look at me. Love at first sight is kind of rude.
BM: And I am more in love with her today than I was then. She just gets better and better.
AE: Your life just gets better and better. Didn't you just shoot a movie for Queen Latifah? What is it?
BM: I did! It's a romantic comedy called, November Rule. I just finished shooting it, and I play the funny coworker of the female lead, played by Tatyana Ali. It's for Queen Latifah's production company, Flavor Unit Entertainment, and she's executive producing it.
AE: From stand-up, to Brunch with Bridget, to working on The Jeff Probst Show, and now, Queen Latifah? Who knew from such hard-working beginnings, you'd end up where you are now.
BM: I once did stand-up in the back of the video store.
AE: I remember that!
BM: I thought it was going to be in the back room of the store or some kind of performance space. But no. It was in the store. In the aisles, while people were shopping. Someone told me I should cancel, but when I make a commitment, I stick to it.
AE: I admire that. How do you even deal with those kinds of "surprises?"
BM: It was a really awkward situation. It made no sense. But I like being able to call it as it is, "Hey remember when I performed in front of the John Wayne section?"
AE: [laughs] I still wish it was the porn section.
BM: Gross, Dara.
AE: Are you out on The Queen Latifah Show? Was there ever a conversation with anyone about how to handle that?
BM: Everyone working on the show knows. I couldn't be closeted if I tried.
AE: Some people feel like it's your rainbow-given duty as a gay person to come out if you have the chance to further visibility. Do you agree?
BM: I think it's personal. Imagine someone trying to get you to come out of closet before you're ready? You can't. It's your own timing, your own business. If you're going to be an out person, ideally, you should be super excited about it. When people are closeted and don't want to be out, that's their business. All you can do is be yourself.
AE: So, you're against outing celebrities?
BM: I have no interest in dragging people out of the closet. You don't know what people are going through. I'm lucky. My sister is gay. My family is supportive. And that is a rarity. Not enough people get to live like that. The fact that I can be out, and I love being out, is a blessing.
AE: Who is more excited about you being on The Queen Latifah Show, your own mother, or Karman's mother, Gail?
BM: You know what's funny? My father-in-law, Kreg, is crazy about it. Big fan. He watches the show, and then emails us and gives feedback. When Queen Latifah said she was going to do something at the Grammys, but she couldn't say what, he emailed me and said, "I know she can't say but can you tell me what it is?"
AE: That is excellent. Was his enthusiasm a surprise to you? Usually, dads are not terribly effusive. Usually, it's the mom.
BM: Every time my mother goes out in Windsor Connecticut, she tells people, "You should watch my daughter, Bridget, on The Queen Latifah Show." She's very proud of me. But Kreg is a TV connoisseur, so, it's delightful that he watches every day. He's fantastic.
AE: You should fly Karman's parents out and they can be your special guests.
BM: Oh my God. You think he's going to get on a plane? Kreg's not going to get on a plane. He hasn't been on a plane in years.
AE: He wouldn't do it for this?
BM: I'm telling you, he's not going to get on a plane. I'd have to bring Queen Latifah out to his house. And she would have to sit next to him on the couch.
AE: Sure, why not? Maybe the show could do a field segment at Karman's parents' house, just so Kreg can meet Queen Latifah.
BM: That would be great. He could show her all the things he found with his metal detector.
AE: I would totally watch that.
BM: Only you and I would watch that.
AE: And Kreg.
BM: And Kreg.

FORT WAYNE – It started as a friendly wrestling match.
It ended with a man shot twice in the chest.
The accused shooter apparently didn't like being on the losing end of the wrestling match, witnesses told police.
Deshawn Smith went to Eden Green apartments late on May 22 where he intended to hang out and drink with friends for the night, he told police.
When Bryan L. Flowers arrived at the gathering, the two started to wrestle with no indication of violence or anger between the two, according to witness statements to police.
That all changed when Smith body-slammed Flowers to the ground. A friend with Flowers handed him a gun, and Flowers shot Smith once in the chest, according to his admission to police and others witness statements.
When Smith confronted Flowers about getting shot, Flowers shot Smith again, he told police. Smith was critically injured but survived.
The events of that night led to Flowers being charged Wednesday with aggravated battery and possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon. He has prior convictions for aggravated robbery and armed robbery, which bar him from owning a gun.
Flowers, of the 4400 block of Lillie Street, confessed to police that he shot Smith twice, according to a probable cause affidavit.
When police arrived shortly after midnight May 22, they found Flowers near the scene after witnesses pointed officers in his direction.
Despite having detained a possible suspect, police could not interview Flowers at the time because of his high level of intoxication, according to the affidavit, and he was released.
It was not until police found Flowers a week later, this time in custody at the LaPorte County Jail, that they could get a coherent statement in which Flowers admitted he shot Smith, the affidavit said.
A series of Facebook messages between a witness and Smith's sister eventually gave police the wrestling match as a possible motive for the shooting, according to the affidavit.

Vt. hikers rescued from NH mountainOctober 09,2013Vt. hikers rescued
from NH mountain
GORHAM, N.H. Two Vermont hikers are safe after being rescued from a New Hampshire mountain after a storm.
The couple were on the summit of Mount Madison in the White Mountains on Monday afternoon when a severe storm soaked them and their gear.
Then a dense fog made it nearly impossible to see the trail. With temperatures dropping, they called 911 for help at about 7 p.m.
Rescuers hiked about four miles up the trail and found them shortly after 1 a.m.
Twenty-eight-year-old Raymond Barnard and 27-year-old Stephanie Watkins of Brownsville, Vt., were cold and wet but able to put on dry clothing and follow rescuers down.
The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department said the pair had used sleeping bags and tent rain fly to protect themselves, which probably saved their lives.MORE IN This Just InRutland City Police said Friday evening the department's phone lines were down.

Korean 'multigrain' / 'brown' rice - what is it?
At Korean restaurants, I always ask for non-white rice, and what's brought out is a warm bowl of tender, nutty, blackish-purple grains of joy. For those in NYC: On the menu of Hangawi, it's called "multigrain" rice. Waiters at Kang Suh bring it out when I ask for "brown" rice.
Does anyone know what type of rice I'm talking about? (And can it be made in a rice cooker?)
re: soypower
Yeah, it did have beans in it (either chickpeas or beans, depending on the place).
So it's called "red bean rice"? (I went into a Korean grocery store to buy some and confused all parties inside trying to describe/buy it)
Here's a helpful explanation of this dish from Life in Korea. If you follow the link and scroll down you'll see a photo that will help you determine if you've been having ogokbap.
Ogokbap (Five-Grain Rice)
Although rice is the staple food for Koreans, they also use other grains. They often combine four other grains with glutinous and regular rice (most commonly glutinous sorghum, glutinous millet, dried black beans, and dried sweet beans). Each are cleaned and soaked separately then cooked until the grains have expanded and are well done. The various grains used differ between areas. Koreans tended to use those grains that they planned to plant in the coming year. In the past, Ogokpap was also a substitute of Yakshik for commoners who could not afford to have the ingredients like jujubes, chestnuts, and pine nuts for Yakshik on the first full moon day. Koreans also believe that Ogokpap must be shared by at least 3 different families to bring good luck in the coming year.
re: Kater
nice explanation. in Japan there are several similar dishes - just mixes of different grains. usually it would begin with their default rice (unfortunately usually of the refined, white variety), then a mix of maybe black soy beans and various grains including millet, bulghur, black rice, etc.
in any event, the break from runofthemill white rice was always a welcomed addition. one thing to note, tho: since many of these alternative grains do not contain the 'sticky' element of sticky rice, the dish ended being more of an almost western feeling dish like longgrain rices, yknow. deelish any way you cut it, tho:)
Could it be Chinese "forbidden rice?' This cooks up fairly uniform in appearance, blackish purplish and tasting like brown rice, maybe nuttier. I've also seen medium grain rice from southeast Asia that's a lighter, more mottled purple than forbidden rice. I like forbidden rice with chicken dishes, where the contrasting color is beautiful on the plate.
here are a couple recipes for korean 5 grain rice:
re: soypower
in those recipes, i think it might be helpful to point out that the "black" beans are usually black soy beans, and i think the "green" beans are mung beans, although recipes do differ quite a bit. also the "red" beans are those tiny beans, usually known in english by their japanese names as "azuki" or "adzuki," which are often used in desserts and sweets in asia.
my korean is horrid, but if you were looking for these in a korean market, the korean for soy bean is "kong," with the o rhyming with "bone." but i couldn't help you with the black variety. mung beans are "sookjoo," and red beans are "pat." but less pat, more like "ought." native speakers out there, mian hamnida.
since the different grains, and especially the beans, have different cooking times, this dish can be kind of tricky to make. when i was in korea, my mom would buy bags of different fresh beans, not dried, from the market, and they would cook up nicely with the rice. this dish is even more delicious when cooked in a tradtional stone pot, so the cooked rice gets toasted along the bottom of the pot. if you throw in a couple dried chinese dates and a ginseng root, then you don't really need anything else to eat with it.
you can also buy it pre-made in microwaveable single portions in korean markets. two minutes on high in the nuker or ten minutes in boiling water. it's called ogokbap, or five-grain rice.
but without the beans and other grains, if you buy black rice (described by another poster above as "forbidden" rice) and sprinkle a loose handful into your white rice, it will stain it a pale shade of purple, and give your rice an added dimension of flavor.
The rice is mixed with white and either wild black rice or black rice... when cooked together the shade turns purple. You can buy it separately and do the mix at home or there are pre-mixed packed rice as well. One thing to remember about these rice, though it can be cooked using the regular rice cooker, you'll need to soak them in water for about an hr prior to cooking because the regular rice cooker does not have enough power, it was designed to cook only white rice. However if your thinking of investing into a rice cooker, I recommend the pressure rice cooker becuase you can cook multigrain rice and beans without pre-soaking that's needed for the regular rice cooker. Here is a mix that I use and folks who have tried it tells me it is very good... 1 cup white rice, 1 cup brown rice, 1 cip wild black rice... enjoy!!

IBM boasts Sun-HP server pact pillaging
Now that IBM has reported its financial results for the first quarter of 2009, the company can brag a little bit about competitive takeouts for server deals. To that end, Big Blue says that in the first quarter it landed 102 deals that displaced servers made by rivals Hewlett-Packard and Sun Microsystems. IBM has been averaging …
It's Broke Mate
Out of 6 new X-series servers recently delivered 3 worked. The SAN system lost a controller less than two weeks later.
I know its a small sample but thier support org managed to send the wrong parts 3 times too.
Anon because I don't think my employer would want to be associated with these comments.
Not to pick nits, but you know there are also customers moving in the opposite directions as well.
Also, if one is considering only HP & Sun, it seems funny to also add EMC to the pool...unless
it's being added to inflate the numbers of course. They wouldn't do that, would they?
Watch out TPM
You know that Matt B will be attacking you soon saying that HP is taking
share away from both Sun and IBM, and not the other way around. I pity you...
IBM Deal we couldn't refuse
We were such a customer. We were looking at either Sun or IBM high end servers but when IBM threw in a DS8300 (Tier 1) Storage for less than a HDS AMS2500 (Tier 2) we were looking at, well my company decided on IBM. They even threw in a couple of SVC IO groups and man, I love the SVC. I wish I had it a few years back. I'm throwing everything (well mostly) under the SVC control.
IBM Gains vs. Losses?
And how many server deals do IBM admit losing to Sun & HP? They say they gained 150 mainframes, but how many went away?
We are borg
Soon once we have all of you under the IBM cosh we shall change your terms and conditions just like AMEX in the spring of 2009......MUHAHAHHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!! *cough* HAHAHAHHAAAAA
IBM... Naah bro
We dropped IBM at the last position I was in, because as soon as they outsourced the parts manufacture to China, the server quality dropped like a rock.
Servers that would either fail out of the box with bad controllers, and broken mainboards. Or servers that would run fine, until you put them under load, then crap out consistantly.
We swapped to HP, and all those issues disappeared. The HP's were similar in price, and in some cases cheaper.
Even if they were a bit more pricey, it was worth it for the complete lack of problems we had.
HP even offered to buy our faulty IBM boxes off us, if we replaced them whith HP's.
IBM reps still come around and take us out to lunch, and we always promise to start buying IBM, when the quality improves. Still yet to happen .
Odd Conclusion...
Writer says, "IBM says that through 2008, nine out of ten competitive takeouts across the company involved competitive wins against HP or Sun, and this ratio is probably not going to change."
With SUN on the cusp of releasing 2 new CPU architectures in 1-2 quarters, that could reverse the trend.
If SUN stalls on releasing 2 new CPU architectures in 1-2 quarters, the trend could become more aggressive.
The ratio, as far as SUN is concerned, is really dependent upon RoCK and T3 execution.
RE: IBM Deal we couldn't refuse
Careful on that storage deal! IBM had something similar with the early Sharks, they would cut a server deal along with a Shark for next to nothing or even nothing for a year, you'd take it thinking what a lovely deal it was, and then a year later when you had your bizz crit data on there IBM would tell you the real annual support costs - ouch! They tried it with us, they hoped we'd replace some old EMCs, but we didn't like the Shark and so just used it for archives. At the end of the year we simply backed the archives off to tape and let IBM take it back. Most amusing!

HONOLULU (AP) Jimmy Walker would love to have a fairy-tale finish at the Sony Open. Given the bad memories from this place, he was thrilled Thursday with the first chapter.
Walker hit 7-iron to 12 feet below the flag on the par-5 ninth to finish with an eagle for a 5-under 65, giving him a one-shot lead among the early starters in surprisingly calm conditions at Waialae Country Club.
Chad Campbell and Rory Sabbatini, who made their '08 debut last week at the winners-only Mercedes-Benz Championship, were among a half-dozen players at 66.
Tadd Fujikawa, meanwhile, was headed for a short week.
One year after he became the youngest player (16) in 50 years to make the cut on the PGA Tour, Fujikawa never recovered from a double bogey on the second hole. He didn't make birdie until No. 12 and wound up with a 74, leaving him a long shot to earn his first paycheck since turning pro last summer. This is eighth event as a pro.
"I had a rough day," Fujikawa said. "I've got to shoot a good round tomorrow to make the cut. I think I can do it. Anything is possible."
Golf Channel began its broadcast without anchor Kelly Tilghman, serving a two-week suspension for saying with a laugh last week that the best way young players could take down Tiger Woods would be to "lynch him in a back alley."
She was replaced in the booth Friday by Rich Lerner.
Walker is a big hitter from Texas who was the Nationwide Tour player of the year in 2004 and had high hopes for his rookie season on the PGA Tour when he came to the Sony Open in 2005. But he never made it to the first tee.
While hitting balls on the practice range that Monday, he felt his neck get stiff and was in so much pain he was taken to the emergency room for tests. He found out he had a bulging disk in his neck, and wound up playing only nine events that year. So he tried again the following season, only to shoot 80 in the first round and miss the cut.
Walker, who turns 29 next week, earned his way back to the big leagues after finishing 25th on the Nationwide money list, earning the last card. He was surprised his status got him in the Sony Open, and he came over to Hawaii with mixed emotions.
"When I saw I was getting in, I was like, 'Oh, good. I get to go back to Hawaii.' I've got some good memories," he said, smiling wryly. "My wife stayed home; it hasn't been a great couple of trips for us. When you get in, you've got to play."
The blessing was playing well, starting with a birdie on No. 10, his first hole of a new season. He kept moving right along, using short irons from fairway and thick rough to get it close enough to make some putts, then finishing on the easy par-5 ninth with a 322-yard drive that left him a 7-iron for his second shot, and putt that put him atop the leaderboard.

By Julia Michalska. News, Issue 225, June 2011Published online: 26 May 2011
Two days after the "Art of the Enlightenment" (until March 2012) opened in Beijing's National Museum of China (above), the arrest of Ai Weiwei prompted a heated debate in Germany on the ethical implications for its museums of working with authoritarian regimes. The show was jointly organised by the Berlin, Munich and Dresden state museums.
German foreign minister Guido Westerwelle said that he expected the artist to be released "without delay" and stressed that while in Beijing for the opening he had spoken about the importance of freedom of speech. The €10m exhibition received E6.6m from the ministry, with the rest from sponsors. But Martin Roth, the director of the Dresden State Art Collections, and director designate of London's Victoria and Albert Museum, appeared to downplay the matter, saying: "There are hundreds of artists like [Ai Weiwei], but no one talks about them, because they are not pop stars." This earned a swift rebuke from the German minister for culture, Bernd Neumann, who called such comments a "mockery of a courageous artist".There have been many calls in Germany to cancel the show. The Nobel Prize winning author, Herta Müller, said it was "decoration for an authoritarian regime". The president of the Bundestag, Norbert Lammert, said that he has not excluded the possibility of cutting short the show. He also criticised the museums' directors for their "high levels of naïvety". Criticism has increased following reports in the German press that the show is attracting relatively little interest in China.

- Barcelona comes to NewarkLowSaltReqdDined on 11/1/2014This restaurant is a unique find in the Iron Bound Newark NJ area. The decor is a wonderful reminder of the architecture from Gaudi in Barcelona. More importantly the food was excellent. A perfect place to share dishes with healthy portions of tasty food. We had octopus appetizer and salads and this got our taste buds going ready for more. Sangria to add to the fun. My dish was the Paella which was rich with flavors from lots of shell fish, chicken, chorizo and rice. Flan finished off the meal. I highly recommend this gem.Special Features:
- Cool, sophisticated bar/lounge restReenieb03Dined on 9/17/2014Cool, sophisticated, bar lounge restaurant with architect reminiscent of Spain. Great tapas! Had meatballs, empanadas and fried calamari. My favorite had to be the octopus entree. Nice size portion with delicious sautéed onions, but the potatoes that accompanied were lackluster, straight out of boiled water! The side of rice was also disappointing, definitely needed seasoning. But the ending to our meal was exquisite! Loved, loved the flan. Would definitely come backSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 39 reviews are from the Catas reviews archive.
- Great find on a Newark layoverKodiakFoodieDined on 5/22/2014Hotel staff recommended and truly enjoyed everything. Order the baby squid and oysters escargot with the white sangria. Yum.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loud, Sports Bar!!PeterVIPDined on 3/23/2014This restaurant came highly recommended by two friends. When we arrived this past Sunday at 6pm, we found a packed bar full of Soccer fans watching the game. As we made our way through the sea of loud fans to what we thought was the dining room, we found many more Soccer fans just sitting around drinking and watching the game. Don't get me wrong. That's all well and good if that's what you are going for but based in the recommendation and their website we were expecting a very nice sit down dinner. I've checked with two people to make sure that I went to the right place in case Catas had two locations but I've been assured that was it. We ha to leave and ended up at Fernandes Steak which is fantastic.
- Catas for TapasMikeLeungDined on 2/21/2014very good value; an inexpensive tapas experience and yet food is served with artistic flair and is very tastySpecial Features:
- Excellent Spanish FoodLuna4X0Dined on 2/14/2014The location doesn't do the restaurant any justice. The food selection was excellent and I was impressed with the variety available. The wine list was good as well and reasonably priced. I went to Catas with a date, and out of all the tapas we ordered there was perhaps one I didn't like, the meatballs. They were a little bit too greasy for my taste, but every else was good. The service was EXCELLENT. The staff is extremely attentive and courteous. I didn't get a chance to explore the bar area, but it looked vibrant. The decor is also quite nice. Classy, trendy, but not over the top. I definitely recommend this to anyone looking to try some well made spanish food without breaking the bank.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing FoodLuisDined on 2/14/2014Throughly enjoyed my experience at Catas from a staff that attentive to a beautiful environment and not to mention the delicious food. Ordered 3 tapas appetizers and had enough to take home for lunch the next day. The price was extremely reasonable. Perfect locale if you are going to NYPAC or Prudential center for a show.Special Features:
- Good tapas / fulfilling portionsNewarkDiner2013Dined on 12/4/2013I went for lunch with a group of 6 people and they sat us in the back of the restaurant, I felt like we had our own private dining room. The decor was very nice, reminded me of Park Guell in Barcelona with the replica of the mosaic bench. The ambience was very nice and the noise level was perfect. The service was attentive but the food took awhile to arrive but it was well worth the wait.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What a surprise!Couple2Dined on 11/7/2013This place is beautiful. The Antoni Gaudi inspired theme rocks!. I have never seen so much quality workmanship in any restaurant that closely resembles anything from Antoni Gaudi. You have to see it to believe it. The dining room the exterior of the building the bar and even the railing to the second floor party room is reminiscent of Gaudi. And that's not all, my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the plentiful menu of Tapas, and wine brought to us by our very accommodating server, Miguel. Our favorites that evening included baby squid, and my wife's favorite blue-cheese dates wrapped in bacon. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and I'm already planning to head back there again, soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- OkMiamangiaVIPDined on 10/20/2013Not what the pictures portrayed Seemed to be more of a bar scene for game day Only one table in the back was eating so we ate in the front And had the bartender take care of us She was pleasant and genuine The food was ok, mostly fried (queso) peppers were tasty Choirizo plentiful beer and wine better, as far as selection and tasteSpecial Features:
- Miguel is the best waiterOpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 8/21/2013Miguel is the best waiter in Catas. His services is excellent. He checks on you frequent enough, but don't bother you. We went one when he is not there and the food and service was not at par. We now know to go when he is working.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Off the beaten pathOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 3/10/2013On Market Street a few blocks in from Ferry Street. A whole in the wall that you can easily blink and miss and you shouldn't. AMAZING combination of tradition and modern Tapas. Love coming here for drinks, dinner, or both. I have come here in groups with a reservation and the staff was very good to us. The manager even made a point to come to each table and make sure all of our needs were met- something you don't see too often anymore. Also great for the sports fan as the bar area is covered in TVs so you can keep up with all of the games.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- When I arrived I was a bitGoadadVIPDined on 3/10/2013When I arrived I was a bit put off by the design of the restaurant...big bar area in front with high tables and multiple big screen tvs and a quiet not too interesting seating area in back. It was early evening and not too busy so we sat in the bar and were surrounded by a Spanish soccer game on the tvs. Fortunately the attentive staff and good food overcame our initial reaction that this was more a bar than a restaurant. Tapas was very good and I highly recommend the Pompano when available. A good spot to dine before a show or event at the Rock or NJPAC.Special Features:
- This was one of the strangestOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 10/14/2012This was one of the strangest experiences we have had in a while. Reading the reviews does not paint a clear picture of this restaurant... We walked in on a Sunday to an empty dining room but full bar. We decided to sit in the bar, but had to listen to the game that was on (super loud). The food was great and the bartender was attentive but all-in-all, not what we expected.
- Tried various tapas and eachOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 9/22/2012Tried various tapas and each was fantastic. Want to go back and try entrees. Given the variety of the dishes, all the flavors were spot on, not one tapas dish was under or over seasoned. Helpful staff.Special Features:
- Looking forward to going back soonOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/22/2012Everything I ate was very delectable. Looking forward to another visit soon. I really enjoyed the lobster macaroni and cheese appetizer.Special Features:
- Catas Tapas....OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/10/2012this was a great find, reasonable prices. LOVE THE Tapas!! I also loved the ceiling architecture/ lighting ( I was seated in dining area). My only complaint was that my chair was a little wobbly:/ Catas, thank you for introducing me to Van Gogh Vodka:)Special Features:

- I love eating here and eatingOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 6/28/2012I love eating here and eating several different tapas and wine. It is always absolutely delicious!Special Features:
- Had tapas and entrees. TheTheInsiderDined on 6/13/2012Had tapas and entrees. The tapas were small but at the same time inexpensive, so there was good value to trying them. You can split many among your table, not filling you up but giving you many tastes. That was fun. I had the pork entree and my guest the steak and both were quite good. Both took some home and enjoyed a second time. Good food, good value and a nice looking interior. I will be back.Special Features:
- The decor,modeled after theOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 6/5/2012The decor,modeled after the style of Barcelona architect Antoni Gaudi,was very cool. The service was prompt & attentive. We tried the shrimp,chorizo & clam chowder which was rich but delicious. We enjoyed sampling the tapas, all wonderful. My least favorite was the lamb meatballs. We will definitely return. Great find!Special Features:
- Interesting and varied tapasPhillyPhoodieVIPDined on 6/4/2012Interesting and varied tapas with a few unusual items. Nice Spanish wine list. Empty on this visit. I understand it's a pretty hot and bustling dance club on weekends. Very friendly service.Special Features:
- Went on a Sunday, around 8pm,OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 6/3/2012Went on a Sunday, around 8pm, and the bar was full but the restaurant had one couple. Sat down with a small group of friends, and were promptly forgotten about by the waitstaff. Service was slow throughout the dinner, but the food arrived hot and was extremely delicious. I love Catas for the flavors, but the two times I've come, the back seating area seems to be in a service ghetto. I had to hunt someone down to give us the check after we'd sat there for 10 minutes with the plates already taken. That lack of service is also probably why there isn't a lot of diners, and the back seating ends up oddly quiet feeling.

- Great Sangria and the wholeOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 5/4/2012Great Sangria and the whole fish was outstanding. Sample some of the hot and cold tapas, they are worth the trip. Great for pre-NJPAC performances.Special Features:

We were told the chicken entree would take over 25 mins after apps came out but we were fine with that. We did not want to be rushed! They have huge HD tv's great for all sports. Very nice place! Glad we found this restaurant!Special Features:
- I have been to this placeOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 4/11/2012I have been to this place a few times for drinks. It is near the NY RedBulls stadium and very crowded before games. Never went for dinner but I had always heard the food was good. Decided to try it finally and boy was it good! Pretty big portions but the quality was also very good, and dishes are nicely presented. The service was also notably good, waiter was very attentive but not overbearing.. and anticipated everything, exactly what you want!Special Features:

On a very busy street luckily there is small parking lot adjacent. Vibe was nice and drinks looked great. Overall too pricey and food wasn't anything special.Special Features:
- The food was excellent; however,OpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 2/11/2012The food was excellent; however, the atmosphere was not. It reminded me of a dance club, with incredibly loud 80s/90s music playing the entire time we were dining. I could understand this later in the evening, but not at 8pm.Special Features:
- Brunch was delicious. OurdinerVIPDined on 1/29/2012Brunch was delicious. Our waiter was extremely attentive and informative. An enjoyable brunch.Special Features:
- DisappointingOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 1/28/2012Catas was very disappointing. When we arrived we stopped at the bar for a drink since we arrived about a half hour before our reservation. The bartenders were great and the drinks were fine. We were seated as soon as we finished our drinks and the waiter was really great about answering our questions about the menu. My wife and I decided to go with the tapas and when they arrived, there was not one that could be called hot. All were warm and none of them were really anything special. The food was very bland and the fact that it wasn't served hot just made it worse. I would not recommend this restaurant.

Focusrite ISA ONE Digital Mic Preamp with A/D
Single channel, transformer-based microphone preamp, based on the original ISA 110 preamp
Product Description for the Focusrite ISA ONE Digital Mic Preamp with A/D
The ISA One Digital from Focusrite is a single channel, transformer-based microphone preamp, based on the original ISA 110 preamp that formed the cornerstone of each channel of the legendary Forte console. It features classic vintage topology and includes the Lundahl L1538 transformer and a custom Zobel network.
The included analog-to-digital board provides AES/EBU, S/PDIF and SMUX-compliant ADAT outputs with the preamp and DI signals streamed separately over the 2 channels of the digital connection. The studio-grade A/D conversion with jitter-elimination technology, and the 118dB dynamic range, allows a direct digital bypass of the analog circuitry and converters in the user's DAW audio interface, and provides a high-end signal path straight into any music recording software.
In addition to switchable input impedance settings for the microphone preamp, the unit includes a line input on XLR and 1/4" TRS phone jacks. An independent DI channel features a dedicated gain control, active or passive impedance switch, a 1/4" TRS output for routing to an amplifier, and an independent XLR output on the rear.
The ISA One features an insert point should the need arise to place extra signal processing between the preamp or DI, and the analog-to-digital converter. Phantom power, phase reverse and a 75Hz, 18dB/octave high-pass filter are also available from the angled front fascia.
Independent input metering for both channels is provided by a moving coil VU meter with variable calibration to suit analog and digital recording media, alongside two six-LED peak meters. Inputs can be metered either pre- or post-insert. The meter calibrations utilize the same reference points as Digidesign's Pro Tools HD systems, allowing effortless integration with Pro Tools.
- Classic single-channel Focusrite microphone preamp with independent DI
- Encased in a rugged and portable chassis
- Ideal for both engineers and demanding performers alike, featuring independent gain control, an output for routing to an amp, an independent XLR output on the rear and routing to the ADC
- Stereo 192kHz analog-to-digital conversion card utilizes cutting-edge conversion technology and Focusrite analog circuitry to deliver the highest A/D performance with a dynamic range of 119dB
- Four, carefully selected, switchable input-impedance levels (including the original ISA 110 setting), to match or enhance the performance of any microphone
- Headphone output with volume control can feed either a sum of the two inputs to the headphones output, or an external stereo cue mix (such as a stereo mix feed from an interface) via two TRS Jack inputs on the rear of the unit
- Dedicated insert point allows the user to place extra processing such as an EQ or compressor, between the preamplifier or DI and the optional converter

Review by makoto
The DI also sounds pristine and the digital output routing with in the device alows you to see the left output as the mic out and the right output as the DI so you dont have to walk around plugin and unpluging devices.
Can also be used for monitoring during recording by sending back the signal from your DAW to the device. That means true zero latency monitoring solution if routed properly.
Great sound, grat price and fantastic a/d conversion (Posted on 10/14/11)

Smart Edge of Tomorrow Keeps Killing Tom Cruise

In the same week that sees Adam Sandler playing a grieving 9/11 widower in Reign Over Me, another lone figure reeling from post-traumatic stress fills the central role in the new Antoine Fuqua-directed thriller, Shooter. Named Bob Lee Swagger and played with appropriately gruff machismo by Mark Wahlberg, he's a former Marine gunnery sergeant and scout sniper who's also lost someone special not his wife or girlfriend, but his spotter, Donnie (Lane Garrison). (In military terms, the shooter-spotter relationship is as about as close as two guys can get without asking or telling.) Three years ago in Ethiopia, both men were left for dead by their superiors when their "unofficial" mission got officially all fucked up. Only Swagger made it out alive.
Cut to the present and some shadowy ex-military types (led by Danny Glover) who show up on Swagger's doorstep with a really big favor to ask: They want him to kill the president of the United States or rather, they want him to tell them, O.J. Simpson-style, how he wouldkill the prez if he were to do it. Internal government intelligence, it seems, has uncovered an assassination plot timed to the president's upcoming public appearance in Philadelphia, during which the fatal shot will be fired by an expert marksman from a distance of more than a mile. Swagger's expertise is needed in order to flush the suspect out. The men in black speak of honor and duty and patriotism. "Do we let America be ruled by thugs?" they ask Swagger rhetorically. "Sure, some years we do," he replies. Still, he agrees to take the job, even if we rightly suspect that any deal made by Glover and his oily private contractors is certain to prove a devil's bargain.
Sure enough, Swagger soon finds himself once again trapped behind enemy lines and on the run from hostile pursuers, only this time he's not in Africa but the city of brotherly love, and everyone in America (save for one rookie FBI agent and the widow of Swagger's former spotter) thinks he just tried to cap the leader of the free world. The feature-length cat-and-mouse game that follows is nimbly executed by Fuqua (Training Day, King Arthur), who's grown immeasurably more confident as a director since making his debut with the slapdash Chow Yun-Fat vehicle The Replacement Killers, which was like the movie equivalent of bad Chinese take-out. Fuqua isn't a virtuoso stylist, but he shoots the kind of lean, efficient action scenes that directors like Ted Kotcheff and John Flynn once specialized in, and the entire movie exudes a refreshingly low-tech vibe that's of a piece with the resourcefulness of its protagonist, who can fashion a makeshift IV out of grocery store sundries and, in what may be the most squirm-inducing act of self-medicating since Bruce Willis pulled broken glass out of his bleeding bare feet in the original Die Hard, applies a granulated astringent called Quik Clot to his gaping gunshot wounds.
Wittily adapted by screenwriter Jonathan Lemkin (The Devil's Advocate) from the first in a trilogy of Swagger novels by Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Postfilm critic Stephen Hunter, Shooteris a generically titled studio action picture that turns out to be a surprisingly deft satire about Americans' loss of faith in their government following the 2000 election, the 9/11 attacks, and the ensuing wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Betrayed by Uncle Sam both at home and abroad, Swagger starts to seem like the last honest exponent of old-fashioned American virtue a John Rambo for the Bush II generation and the more he learns about the conspiracy that has taken hold of his life, the further he sees that it reaches: That everything really isabout oil money and that, in the words of the movie's fat-cat red-state senator (a wonderfully smarmy Ned Beatty), there are no heroes and villains or Democrats and Republicans only haves and have-nots. Cannily programmed at the start of the 2008 election season, this rampantly amoral and Darwinian film persuasively argues that, in today's America, it's every man for himself and commerce against all. Allow me to be the first to propose: Bob Lee Swagger for president.
story is great but speech is clipped and very hard to understand.
Damn, you hit the nail on the head. Our world is fucked up, and Shooter kicked some major ass. I'm a gun enthusiast and let me say the movie was boner-inspiring for all NRA members everywhere. It was one of the best plots i've seen in a while. I thought i was stoked after seeing 300, not even close. Mark Whalberg is an excellent actor. He had me on the edge of my seat the entire movie. I'm gonna go clean my gun...
