-- WWE announced that Triple H suffered a "broken arm" at the hands of Brock Lesnar on RAW. This is a storyline and Triple H is not injured.
-- We reported the following last week: "Expect to see more of this as WWE is trying to do more "plausible" injuries where they initially don't reveal that it's a work and report it on their website like they would a real injury. The idea is for the talents to use Facebook and Twitter to help get the injuries over." This is just another example of that.

Puppet gooses admin tool performance with Enterprise 3.0
Back in January, system administration tool maker Puppet Labs got a $30m equity injection from VMware, and the company has put some of that money to good use with a major revamp of its commercial-grade Puppet Enterprise tool. With Puppet Enterprise 3.0, Puppet Labs is gutting the innards of the product to make it peppier and …
This product is complete garbage when compared to System Centre:
Close that Window, it's getting shilly in here!
How does that compare price-wise for your superior product?
Or is that a trade secret?
Re: Close that Window, it's getting shilly in here!
As with most Microsoft products aimed at the Data Center/Enterprise you need an advanced PhD to understand the pricing mechanisms behind it's licensing procedures (seriously, I downloaded the datasheet from their website and it's like trying to read ancient Egyptian).
Not to mention that it doesn't actually tackle the same pain points as Puppet/Chef but hey, never mind that eh!
Re: Close that Window, it's getting shilly in here!
Puppet/Chef/cfengine are tools for managing configuration. This is something that system centre actually doesn't do very well . System centre does a great job of monitoring the event log and bouncing out the events to an alerting system but working with the management packs required for any thing that is not written by MS is a pain in the ass.
What we are seeing is a move to manifest driven configuration for large deployments. Trying to do the same with GPOs is horrible. Puppet does have its draw backs trying to manage manifests is a pita they suggest using a svn/git to manage these in large deployments .
Re: Close that Window, it's getting shilly in here!
What will stir things up a bit is DSC:
Which is, at the small glance I've seen so far, looks to be pretty close to Puppet/Chef running on WIndows. Something that, as said, SC isn't too hot on.
This product is complete garbage when compared to Puppet Enterprise:

Results from the ninth Christmas Bird Count in Sonoma Valley indicated fewer birds than in the past years, but new species were seen during both the daylong count and the half-day Christmas Bird Count 4 Kids.
Nearly 90 birders surveyed a circular area 15 miles in diameter, centered near Arnold Drive and Orange Avenue, covering most of Sonoma Valley and the City of Petaluma, for the Dec. 27 Christmas Bird Count. The diverse habitats within the circle include the Petaluma and Sonoma watersheds, mountain ranges and wetlands, with influences of not-so-distant urban areas and San Pablo Bay also observed.
Tom Rusert and Darren Peterie began the Sonoma Valley branch of the national event in 2004 after realizing the uniqueness of habitat and the bounty of birds in the area. Rusert said Sonoma Valley's bird count is ranked among the very best in the nation, both in overall species recorded and in individual participation by local citizens and landowners. "We're glad to have so many participants in this citizen science, and to have access to private land makes a world of difference," Rusert said. "People have been helpful letting us go onto their property and then coming out with us."
The annual count takes place on the Friday after Christmas and is a "census" of birds and species over a 24-hour period. The birds are tallied and totals are submitted to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology eBird program, the largest database of recorded bird locations in the world. More than 400 species of birds, according to Rusert, have been officially recorded in Sonoma County over the last several decades – 800 to 900 bird species have been recorded in the nation. In Sonoma Valley, 200 species of birds have been identified.
"The preliminary results of species groups showed reduced numbers compared to the past eight years," Rusert said. Birders counted 155 species on Dec. 27 in the 24-hour period beginning at midnight.
Over the last eight years, according to the bird count's new data compiler, Gene Hunn, the Valley's bird count averages 163 species. The total number of individual birds counted was 57,791, or 84 percent of the eight-year average 68,843. Rusert speculates that last year's drought may have played a factor in the reduced numbers. "The unusually dry winter changes the formula," he said.Hunn said high tides, wind, temperature and food sources can also influence a species abundance.
For example, Rusert explained, blackbirds were down 30 percent, shorebirds were down 51 percent, herons and egrets were down 60 percent, and sparrows and towhees were down 78 percent.
But some species groups proved stable, and even increased, he said, explaining a 150 percent increase in woodpeckers and thrushes, a 94 percent increase in owls and a 123 percent increase in crows and ravens
New species never seen in previous years were recorded in the count, Rusert said with excitement. Species included the Iceland gull at Shollenberger Park in Petaluma, the northern saw-whet owl, discovered in two locations in the Mayacamas Mountains, and a black-headed grosbeak, discovered in the upland section of Wingo. "It has taken nine years to discover this species in Sonoma Valley on the day of the count," Rusert said of the owl. The group also recorded the hard-to-spot burrowing owl and the rare spotted owl.
While birder skills are important, Rusert says most times luck is the deciding factor in birdwatching – "It's being in the right place at the right time."
On the heels of the adult event, Sunday, Jan. 12 marked the Christmas Bird Count 4 Kids, during which seven teams of youngsters, ranging from 4- to 7-year-olds in the Budding Birders camp, to 8- to-16-year-olds in the main groups, and one parent, recorded 46 species and 1,007 birds over a half-day period
While the species count, Rusert notes, was the same as last year, there was more of an abundance of birds last year, with a total of 1,610.
Of the seven 90-minute, local birding routes, Fryer Creek yielded the most species.
Similar to the adult event, six new species were added to the list: the Hutton's vireo, Townsend's warbler, band-tailed pigeon, Bewick's wren, Coopers hawk and Eurasian collared-dove. In the past eight years, Rusert says, the kids' birding teams have identified 69 species.
Rusert hopes to revive the spring count to get a more "comprehensive" idea of the bird count year-round, he says. "(Darren and my) personal goals with Sonoma Birding is to get a better handle on all of the birds that are here."

From the abstract:
Compared with participants whose cumulatively updated total caffeine consumption was <125 mg/day, participants who consumed 500 mg/day had a trend toward increased risk of EG/EGS that was not statistically significant (RR = 1.43; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.98–2.08); P trend = 0.06).
If it's not statistically significant, then how can we take this seriously?

I'd highly recommend Theocracy.
Depends on which Trek (634 comments)
Since much of the joy of Star Trek is about the characters, pick the characters you like the best. If you're going with the originals (a good bet since the 2009 reboot, since they're now the new "current" Star Trek), pick a couple character-driven episodes like Amok Time and Space Seed, and then go right to The Wrath of Khan and watch the TOS movies in order. By then, there should be enough interest in those characters to go back and watch more old episodes, and maybe TMP.
If you want to go with TNG, for your own sake, skip the first season. I might start, again, with something really well-written and character driven: season 2's "The Measure of a Man," and then maybe just continue with the episodes from there. There's not much of the series before that is must-watch anyway.
I'd stick to one of those two paths. DS9 is my favorite series, but I think it's better to start with TNG or TOS since they're the most well known.
"Science" mis-identified (1128 comments)
As a conservative, I would say that this study itself is an example of what conservatives object to, because the word "science" isn't clarified at all. What do they mean by "science?" Do they mean the scientific method? If so, I'm betting conservatives have as much trust in science as anybody else. Do they mean practical science, that results in things like technology, new inventions, and space travel? Again, conservatives would confidently place their trust here.
The issue here is the defining of "science" as the majority scientific establishment, rather than science as a discipline. The lack of trust comes with regard to the scientific establishment, which, like every other group in existence, is made up of flawed human beings who have their own agendas. This is where you have a majority that produces ad hominem arguments to bully the minority, rather than responding honestly to the minority's objections.
One example is global warming. Regardless of what you believe about global warming, I get uncomfortable when I see a group of people with much to gain politically and financially responding to global warming objections by seeking to discredit the scientists, i.e., the people on the other side of the argument, rather than responding to the argument itself. That smacks to me of corruption in the same way our politics are corrupt. The same argument applies to Intelligent Design, whether a fetus is just tissue or life, or any number of other issues.
So when you see a study like this, I think it would be better to say that conservatives have a lack of trust in the scientific establishment, because it's a group of people with their own agenda just like any other. Conservatives don't have a lack of trust in science itself. Science is a method for determining facts. That method is applied by people. And people--even scientists--, once they get power and influence, seek to hold on to it. When you see responses in the form of personal attacks and censorship, rather than dealing with arguments, then yes, that tends to reduce trust.
Top Ten list (291 comments)
I once was assigned a performance tuning presentation to do at a conference. The subject matter was really, really boring. To spice it up, I turned it into a David Letterman top 10 list of things to do. Each item on the list was preceded by a "joke" item that had something to do with the item I was going to talk about. It went over very well.

Thanks for creating something great! (1521 comments)
Hey Rob,
I don't know you and never met you, but I've been reading Slashdot for over a decade (as my user # will tell you). It's been my home page for forever. I just wanted to let you know how much I have appreciated what you created, and how useful it is. Though I don't always agree with the majority opinion here, I can't tell you how many times Slashdot has been the source of one interesting story after another. I've found it so helpful that I've actually featured it in my book, which should be out in a month (Liferay in Action), as one of the first, if not the first, community blog on the Internet.
So thank you. Thank you for starting Slashdot, for building it into something that could be sustained, and for keeping it going all these years. I wish you much success in the future, both personally and professionally, and am hoping that you find whatever it is that will enable to continue fulfilling your dreams.

Assuming there's no competition? (584 comments)
This is just weird. It's almost like Apple's operating as though they have no competition. Example: if an ebook from Amazon or B&N is 30% more expensive on the iPad than it is on, say a Nook or Android tablet (because book sellers will *have* to pass on that extra 30% to the customer), then another tablet is a better option, no? Eventually, it'll squeeze all the other publishers out, and only Apple will be able to sell ebooks on the iPad, which is probably their ultimate goal. I mean, if I were a 3rd party bookseller, I'd rather take my business elsewhere, because Apple's store will always be less expensive on their device. On other devices, however, I'd be able to compete--which increases the value of other devices, and ultimately, hurts Apple.

Easiest solution: get a Palm Pre. There's a palm emulator called Classic for it. Run your old apps.
Liferay (369 comments)
Might I suggest Liferay (http://www.liferay.com)? Open source, but also commercial, and more featureful than both Plone and Confluence.
Re:Let me tell you... (414 comments)
I was going to post exactly the same thing. I still think Nook is a better choice than a Kindle, Kobo, or Sony Reader, though. I was almost expecting this to happen to Border's, but not B&N.
Liferay Portal or Liferay Social Office (152 comments)

This is a question about my SQL statement on an asp page. The page is a detail page which a user arrives at when they have searched the database and chosen a specific match from the results list. The detail page needs to pull data from two separate tables in the database. There is one field common to both tables and so I am using that to do the join. However, I get an error when clicking on the link from the results page, trying to reach the detail page:
Request object error 'ASP 0102 : 80004005'
Expecting string input
The function expects a string as input.
Any ideas what this means? The field I am passing as a URL parameter is a numeric field (AdNum). I tried changing it to text but that did not make a difference.
Here's the code for the SQL statement:
Dim rsDetail__varAdNum
set rsDetail = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rsDetail.ActiveConnection = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=E:\Sullivan\BrettKnowles_com\web\database\Properties.mdb"
rsDetail.Source = "SELECT PropertiesFull.*, Photos.Photo1, Photos.Photo2, Photos.Photo3, Photos.Photo4, Photos.Photo5 FROM PropertiesFull, Photos WHERE Photos.AdNum = PropertiesFull.AdNum AND PropertiesFull.AdNum = " + Replace(rsDetail__varAdNum, "'", "''") + ""
rsDetail.CursorType = 0
rsDetail.CursorLocation = 2
rsDetail.LockType = 3
rsDetail_numRows = 0
Any suggestions? I'm lost! Why does the detail page not recognize the variable I am passing to it from the results page? :confused:

Rocket Lyrics - XTC
Cape Canaveral Florida, ready for takeoff stages
Zoom destination an isolated planet Mars
On which observed many relics of past ages
On return despite rocks no spars
2nd destination world's largest planet Jupiter
From there obtained some ancient relics
When returned at base -- we want Hoopiter!
And we would like some fancy cow's milk
3rd destinations many ringed planet Saturn
While there darted among the rings
At base had a few thoughts of astral matter
Again at base a welcoming with sings
4th zoom destination to an isolated planet Neptune
Whose surface was clear of any vegetation
At base quote -- would like large dirigible balloon
During when there was no hesitation
5th zoom destination smallest planet Pluto
On which there are many beautiful sights
It has no vegetation you know
No power to illuminate dark nights.

St. Paul, MN 55105
Category: Music Venues
Region: Macalester/Groveland
Emily Johnson has been busy exploring her Alaskan heritage and traditions. Her award-winning 2010 work, "The Thank-you Bar," interwove strands of her life as a person of Yup'ik descent from Alaska who now lives and works in Minnesota with the displacement she feels being part of two cultures. That performance layered live music, storytelling, film, and, especially, dance. Objects such as an igloo, a child's swimming pool filled with fallen leaves, an Alaskan blackfish, and that (currently in rehab) old barn Northrop Auditorium were referenced, creating a palimpsest of memory, art, and intersecting cultures. A co-production of the O'Shaughnessy and Northrop, "Niicugni" (meaning "listen" or "pay attention") also layers dances, live music, stories, and a light and sound installation of 51 handmade fish-skin lanterns. The work asks: "Can we pay attention to the ways we do and do not listen to our bodies, histories, impulses, and environments?" These heavy queries are taken on with wry humor by dancers Johnson and Aretha Aoki, a host of musicians and designers, and some ordinary folks making guest appearances. Of its premiere in New York last January, critic Brian Seibert opined, "The choreography is strongest when the two women are moving together like the fish, bears, and foxes in the show's fables." Johnson's forays into her heritage have so far yielded work that takes on issues of identity, enlarging and enriching their scope. For her, the body is a site that contains multitudes: myth and reality, ancestral histories, and cultural identity (and a hearty laugh or two). (Photo by Cameron Wittig)

Dear Dr. Donohue: I have had diarrhea for the past six months. My doctors recommended Kaopectate and Imodium. I use them quite often. There must be another way. How long can I do this? I tried staying away from dairy products but no luck. -- B.Z.
Dear B.Z.: No one wins the war with diarrhea until the diarrhea villain is found. Without that information, people have to resort to symptom treatments such as Kaopectate and Imodium. That's fine if diarrhea lasts for a few days. That's not so fine when diarrhea lasts six months. Those medicines don't hurt, but they don't solve the problem.

Thomas Linnemeier, retired senior vice president for Fort Wayne National Bank, compiled this excerpted history of the Santa display years ago to accommodate frequent requests for information. The display's early history was contributed by Kenneth Gaff, a Fort Wayne resident who was the first to begin construction on the display when he worked as an electrician for Brinkman Corp.:
G. Irving Latz, secretary and treasurer of Wolf & Dessauer store, and Frank Dunigan, president of the Brinkman Corp., were responsible for the original concept of this unique Christmas display. Isabel Wilkinson Parker then made a sketch of the Santa display as it would appear on the Wolf & Dessauer building. After Mr. Latz approved the sketch, Leslie Pope enlarged the small picture into a full-sized pattern. After approval was received, Ed Bradley, production manager at Brinkman, began ordering the materials for the fabrication of the display. The pattern was competed in sections and, as each section was completed, the plywood background was cut and installed on wood frames by many Brinkman employees supervised by Arthur Fackler. The electrical sockets were then located, installed and wired. The sockets and wiring were all tested before the electrical connections were soldered. …
After the display was installed, Mr. Latz thought that more reindeer were needed, so another set was quickly made and installed. This brought the total number of reindeer to six. The following year another set of reindeer was fabricated and installed, thus completing the display.
The work on the Santa display began on Oct. 7, 1940 and it was fabricated, painted and installed by Thanksgiving Eve – Nov. 20th – a scant 44 days later. That first lighting ceremony was attended by virtually every dignitary in the Fort Wayne area.
The men worked up to 18 hours a day during this period in order to complete the task for the Christmas season.
This display – reportedly the second largest lighted display in the nation at that time – shone brightly throughout the Christmas seasons of 1940 and 1941 but then experienced a three-year recess due to World War II. With the return of peace, however, the display was again erected on Wolf & Dessauer's south wall in November 1945, along with the timely inscription: "The Christmas Lights Are On Again All Over The World."
From that Christmas to 1958, Santa and his reindeer made their annual appearance to the delight of thousands throughout the area.
In February 1959, Wolf & Dessauer moved to its new building and, for a variety of reasons, the display began 21 years of storage, neglect and accelerating deterioration. The extent of repair was so bad that several different thoughts of renovation were abandoned.
Now the second beginning.
It started when Jim Green – a GTE phone installer – discovered the display in an old warehouse during the spring of 1979. His interests in restoring the display were soon matched by those of Pete Cruze and an appeal was made to the News-Sentinel. The resulting picture and half-page article piqued the interest of many people, including that of Don Petruccelli, executive vice president of the Greater Fort Wayne Chamber of Commerce. With the Chamber's pledge of support, a small but eager group began their labor of love.
Although all worked hard throughout the summer, the process was slow and the need for additional help was apparent to all. This time the appeal was to the electronic media and the resulting coverage on Sept. 30 caught the attention of Wayne Byrd, president IBEW 305. Wayne's nostalgic recollections of his own family's annual trips from Kalamazoo to Fort Wayne during the 1950s just to see that sign prompted one of the most unusual and unique alliances in our city's history. It involved all of the area's trade unions, Ironworkers Local 147, Northeastern Indiana Electrical Contractors Association, the Chamber of Commerce and scores of interested citizens, both personal and corporate.
For the next 45 days members of more than a half-dozen unions donated over 200 hours to restoring one deer for lighting on Thanksgiving Eve. Businesses throughout the area donated paint, supplies, storage, time and money.
The rejuvenated deer was reinforced with anonymously donated steel and installed on the side of the Fort Wayne National Bank building. The overwhelmingly favorable and nostalgic response to that single deer's lighting on Thanksgiving eve prompted a spirit of enthusiasm and interest sufficient to restore and install a second deer before Christmas that year. This enthusiasm and dedication continued throughout most of 1980.
Finally, the big night. Thanksgiving Eve, Nov. 27, 1980 – 40 years after it first appeared and 22 years after it was last seen – Santa Claus with his bag of toys and eight "tiny" reindeer was once again reflected in the eyes of our city's children. Its massive size – 155 feet long, 5 1/2 tons and 24,717 bulbs – was dwarfed by the crowd's response.
As Bill Latz – son of the man who first conceived this display – said at the 1979 "deer" lighting, "What we are doing here is not lighting a display, we are rekindling an old memory or starting a new one." And that is what this whole project is all about.

SHOP NOW: Mediterranean Villa Playhouse, $50,000
Outward Bound6 of 9

SHOP NOW: Children's Tipi, $320
Pedal Power7 of 9
Inspired by the 19th-century large-wheeled farthing (or high-wheeler bike), this electric version holds the smallest electric folding bicycle, compacting to 23 1/2 inches when not in use. It can hold up to 220 pounds and can reach 14 mph.

Both a climbing wall and water slide, this 14-foot iceberg can hold up to eight adventurers. The inflatable mountain-of-fun requires 12-feet of water, which means you can haul it to the lake—unless, of course you have a private one in your own backyard.

Simple Indian-inspired chicken soup will warm your soul
It's still soup month, and I can't get my fill. This week's recipe title, "Curried Chicken and Rice Soup," doesn't begin to describe the wall of flavor in every slurp. I think a bowl of this could bust through even the worst head cold, especially if you add some cayenne to boost regular curry powder into spicier Madras curry.
Even for the healthy, the soup offers a needed break from blander winter comfort food, while still somehow managing to serve as a hearty, creamy, homey delight.
Five things I learned:
1. The recipe called for a bone-in "chicken breast, halved, about 11/2 pounds." I bought a container labeled "split breast," but it was way heavier than that. I wound up just using one of the halves, and, by the way, removed the skin before cooking.
Don't forget about the chicken while it's poaching, or the meat will get all rubbery. Also keep in mind you have to shred this chicken, so you're going to have to give it time to cool after you take it out of the broth. That is, unless you have some crazy superhuman heat tolerance in your hands. Or if you have discovered a way to shred the chicken with forks.
That always leaves me feeling frustrated and I just give up and do it with my hands.
I put my chicken in the fridge so it could cool while I worked on something else.
2. The recipe called for Madras curry powder. I used the plain kind that I had in the house.
Madras hails from southern India, and is supposed to be spicier than regular pre-mixed curry, so if you use it, don't overdo it. Add a little at a time. You can always add more, but you can't take out what you put in.
Every place I read about it suggested Sun Brand. You can make your own, but it takes quite a few ingredients. Try this relatively simple Martha Stewart version in the attached recipe.
3. If you go to shop for jasmine rice, you'll eventually find yourself staring at several shelves packed with a mind-numbing array of rice choices. You'll find several more types in the Asian and natural foods sections.
Jasmine rice is a long-grain white rice of a type called "aromatic." Aromatic rices have a "pronounced nutty or floral fragrance when cooked," according to "Joy of Cooking." Other aromatic rices include basmati (used in Indian pilafs) and Texmati (an American basmati hybrid).
Jasmine rice is pretty common. You should be able to find a few brands of it in any supermarket.
4. The creamy, hearty texture of this soup comes from puréeing the cooked rice in the broth. I've done that with beans but never rice. I really liked it. My stomach probably didn't notice the difference, but my mind sure did. The soup is satisfying in ways that the same ingredients in a more brothy soup couldn't be.
I think puréeing the rice also released more of its flavor and aroma.
5. Southeast Asian and Middle Eastern cooks seem to put mint in everything. I usually wrinkle my nose and skip it, but this time I followed the recipe. The soup didn't taste minty at all. The mint just wove its way into the other herbs, boosting the rich, heady flavor.
Looks like I finally have a use for my wild mint patch beyond iced tea and fruit salad.

|Simple Indian-inspired chicken soup will warm your soul " data-via="goerie">Tweet
1 bone-in chicken breast (about 11/2 pounds), halved
2 medium carrots, sliced diagonally into 2-inch pieces
1 bay leaf
Kosher salt
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large onion, very thinly sliced
1 teaspoon sugar
11/2 teaspoons Madras curry powder
1/3 cup jasmine rice
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint
3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1 lemon, cut into wedges
1. Combine the chicken, carrots, bay leaf and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan. Add 3 cups broth and bring to a boil; immediately reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until the chicken is just firm, about 20 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, heat the butter in another saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the onion, sugar and 1 teaspoon salt; cook until the onion is soft, 5 minutes. Add the curry powder and cook for 1 minute. Add the rice and the remaining 3 cups broth. Increase the heat to medium, cover and simmer until the rice is soft, 15 to 20 minutes.
3. Remove the chicken from its broth; discard the skin and shred the meat into pieces. Return the shredded chicken to the same broth.
4. Purée the rice mixture with an immersion blender until smooth (or use a regular blender, then return to the pan). Pour in the shredded chicken and broth, stirring gently to combine; bring to a simmer. Toss in the chopped herbs and serve the soup with lemon wedges.

'A Beautiful Death' – Dying with Dignity
Modern Health Talk is sensitive to the very personal issues of families facing terminal illness and found the following video both inspiring and touching.
The Truth About Ebola – What & WHO to believe?
EDITORIAL: Who are we to believe? The news media that profits from sensationalism? Or federal and public health officials who are desperate to avoid panic? What is the truth about the Ebola virus? Right now it's not clear who to believe, and we continue to wonder, "What is the Truth about Ebola." Here are some of my thoughts and related articles, but I invite you to respond.
With the number of Ebola cases doubling, doubling and doubling every week or two, or three; how long might it take to reach millions, or billions? Not only is the number of cases grossly under-reported, but health officials and governments are grossly downplaying the risk and misleading the people. It seems like they're lying, and that doesn't help, because it erodes public trust and contributes to growing fears.
HOLES IN THE SAFETY NET(s)
Even with multiple safeguards, rapid spread of horrific disease (like terrible traffic accidents) can occur. This is the thought behind the "Swiss cheese" model of risk, developed by British scientist James Reason, and described by Vamsi Aribindi, a medical student who wrote Ebola in Texas: A fascinating story of system errors (referenced article below).

The Hazards of Hospitals
We all think of the hospital as a place we go to get better, but hospitals in the United States are making people sicker at alarming rates. Between overtired interns, germ-covered doctors, haphazard record keeping, and equipment failures, you might find yourself in more trouble than you were when you checked in. Here are some alarming statistics, followed by some patient recommendations.
- 1.7 million infections are contracted in hospitals each year.
- 1 in 5 patients suffer harm from medical errors, and 99,000 die from them.
- You're 30,000 times more likely to die from a hospital visit than a plane crash.
- And more die from infections each year than from car accidents, breast cancer or aids.
High Anxiety
The simple mention of having a medical procedure brings out anxiety in most people. It's human nature to become fearful when preparing to undergo a surgical procedure that requires in-patient treatment, sedation and operating rooms, as it is associated with pain and mortality.

Housing an Aging Population
U.S. Unprepared to Meet the Housing Needs
of Its Aging Population
Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies & AARP Foundation Release New Report
Washington, D.C. & Cambridge, MA (9/2/2014) – America's older population is in the midst of unprecedented growth, but the country is not prepared to meet the housing needs of this aging group, concludes a new report released today by the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies and AARP Foundation. According to Housing America's Older Adults—Meeting the Needs of An Aging Population, the number of adults in the U.S. aged 50 and over is expected to grow to 133 million by 2030, an increase of more than 70 percent since 2000 (see interactive map). But housing that is affordable, physically accessible, well-located, and coordinated with supports and services is in too short supply.
Why doctors are so afraid of apples
As implied in "An Apple a Day…" the fruit and the smartphone can both keep doctors away, and that has many of them terrified for good reason.
Those at the top of the healthcare mountain especially fear the Healthcare MiniTrends, because they know 429 of the original Fortune 500 companies (1955) are no longer in business today. And they're looking down at a new class of hungry competitors who are already exploiting these minitrends.
Let's look at just two of the trends: (1) the new focus on wellness, and (2) new smartphone uses. Read the rest of this entry »
Doctored, about Physician Disillusionment
Doctors are just as frustrated with our fee-for-service "sick care" system as patients are. Following on the heels of a related article from a few days ago by Dr. Stephen Schimpff, today's post introduces an NPR article featuring an in-depth interview with cardiologist Sandeep Jauhar, MD, who wrote the book, Doctored: The Disillusionment of an American Physician. It begins…
"As a young doctor working at a teaching hospital, Sandeep Jauhar was having trouble making ends meet. So, like other academic physicians, he took a job moonlighting at a private practice, the offices of a cardiologist. He noticed that the offices were quick to order expensive tests for their patients — even when they seemed unnecessary. It was 'made very clear from the beginning' that seeing patients alone was not financially rewarding for the business."

101 MiniTrends in Health Care
"What the Hell is happening to health care?"
"And is it an Opportunity or a Threat?"
Insights by Wayne Caswell, Founder of Modern Health Talk.
An awful lot has changed in just the last few years and even more will change in the near future, with the aim of reducing (or at least containing) our health care costs. What's behind these MiniTrends, and what is their implication for providers, payers and consumers? That's the $1.5 trillion question. Here I talk about many, many MiniTrends–surely you can find 101 of them if you look!
"It is not the strongest or the most intelligent who will survive but those who can best manage change." – Charles Darwin
That quote is important, because 429 of the original Fortune 500 companies [1955] are no longer in business today. That's a scary thought for those sitting at the top of the healthcare mountain, because they know they must adapt to the megatrend of health reform and Obamacare (the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act) or die. And they are looking down with fear at the hungry competitors who are already exploiting the many related minitrends, because for them these are times of great opportunity.
Telehealth is Shaping Healthcare for the Better
By Karen R. Thomas, President of Advanced TeleHealth Solutions (original article here)
As incredibly innovative and efficient as telehealth is at providing greater access to care for consumers, lowering healthcare costs for both patients and healthcare systems, and improving outcomes, barriers have always existed that hinder the widespread adoption of telehealth. Yet recently, issues such as state requirement hurdles, reimbursement limitations, and a general resistance from physicians to learn and integrate new technologies into their care routines are quickly evaporating in the wake of the overwhelming proof of telemedicine's many benefits.

Managing My Costs of Care [ESSAY]
Managing My Costs of Care is a well-written essay by Jay Warner.
I recommend it, because this one example shows just how easy it "should" be to cut healthcare costs in half to get down to what the rest of the world pays — for better care and outcomes — and save $1.5 trillion/year. It all comes down to getting the incentives right, because with employer-provided health insurance, Jay had no incentive (or ability) to comparison shop. Now he does.
The healthcare landscape is changing as payers pressure providers for more price transparency and seek other ways to contain costs and maintain profitability now that they can no longer cherry-pick the healthiest customers or cut them off when care gets too expensive.
Other disruptive changes include remote sensor monitoring (telemedicine) that can follow trends and identify problems earlier, remote consultations (telehealth) that can replace in-person office visits, medical tourism when it's less expensive and has better outcomes than local surgeries, and an overall shift away from the fee-for-service insurance model. That model once served as pre-paid medical care, but now payers are starting to view insurance as protection against catastrophic illness and injury with consumers paying for the small stuff out of pocket. With that trend comes two others: (1) increased competition and (2) an increased focus on overall health and wellness, including nutrition, exercise, and sleep as it's pillars.
A side benefit of wellness, beyond dramatic reductions in health care costs, is improved safety and performance. Restorative sleep, for example, is associated with improved alertness, attention, creativity, decision-making, focus, learning ability, mood, reaction & recovery times, and working memory, all of which contribute to better grades at school, better productivity at work and in sports, and fewer motor vehicle accidents and deaths.

Inspired by a caterpillar I decided to cut plant leaves the same way as other artists do with paper, that idea captivated my whole mind because it looked like a great opportunity to combine two of my true passions: art and nature. Due to the lack of information about the "leaf cutting art" I have developed my own technique, going through a long trial-and-error process until I found a good way of cutting my designs without spoiling the leaf. I use a surgical scalpel to cut the figure, removing the plant tissue until the image, previously drawn on paper and fixed to the leaf, appears. My geometric or figurative designs mostly come from my innate observation of nature and the personal metamorphosis I have gone through in recent years.
Lorenzo M. Durán
Born in 1969, in Cáceres, Spain, and raised in Düsseldorf (Germany) and Madrid (Spain). I've been living in Guadalajara (Spain) since 2004. I am a self-taught artist who found out at age 36 that he had left aside two of his true passions: art and nature. My awareness came one day, in 2005, when unemployment appeared in my path, providing me with lots of time to think about what I wanted to do with the rest of my life, and then I began living an existential metamorphosis which has turned me into a man who is increasingly aware of his inside, his shadow, and that attempts to communicate with all of that through one of the tools he knows better: art.
Once I took this path I decided to start by the classic Oil on canvas, from which I never entirely separate, and I was fortunate to have attracted interest in the "Fundació de les Arts i els Artistes" (Barcelona), where they purchased my work "Entre cielo y tierra" (Between sky and earth) for the collection of the "Museu d'Art Modern Europeu, MEAM" (European Museum of Modern Art). But I would have a new inspiration later on (in the summer of 2006), a caterpillar eating a leaf would give me the idea of changing the canvases by plant leaves, and that opened a world of possibilities I'm exploring little by little.
Failing to find enough information about the "leaf cutting art" I have developed my own technique for doing it, which has gone through a long trial-and-error process, until I found a good way of cutting my designs without spoiling the leaf. My main tools are a surgical scalpel and a dental pointed devise which helps me when removing the cut parts. Although most of the plant species that I collect are from my residence area, any new leaf is a challenge for me, so I do not rule out others.

How to Practice Piano Arpeggios | Tips and Exercises
I am from a musical family of several generations, all the way back to my great grandfather! I am the niece of acclaimed Jazz Trombonist Urbie Green, the cousin and ( I'm told ) the first classical piano inspiration of award-winning Jazz Pianist Jesse Green.
Among my other relatives have been numerous less-known, yet greatly accomplished professional musicians, from famous name swing bands to New Orleans jazz. Stars and glamour in the music business have been part of me from the time I was a gleam in my parents' eyes.
Although my family's renown is in the jazz idiom, I studied classical piano, sheet music and singing for musical theater from pre-K through high school. My experience has included playing an electric keyboard and singing vocals in a professional, working band.
After playing with bands in high school, as a college music major, making good grades was a piece of cake! I was invited to phi theta kappa honors society, graduated with honors and, with a 4.0 grade point average, was offered an opportunity to study in the professions.
Being from such a musical family, the idea of learning an academic profession sounded exciting, so I graduated University, served an internship, and passed professional licensing exams before I learned that being a " pro " did not guarantee financial security.
Due to the economy, I made a decision to return to my roots. I have dusted off the piano and refreshed my music skills so I may teach quality, private lessons to dedicated students. The variety and extent of my knowledge in music, and my family values, will help you learn what you want!
*** Lesson Details ***
I will be available for beginning and intermediate students. If you have never touched a piano before, you are also welcome! Beginner students may come to the first lesson without books, but if you have books or sheet music you are familiar with, please bring what you have worked with most recently.
Be prepared to start with an evaluation of your abilities ! We will cover posture ( both body and hands ), warm-up exercises and ( surprise ) cool-downs too. After the evaluation we will take a look at what you want to learn, and we will help you find the pathway to make your goals with piano music. After each lesson, you will be able to practice what you have learned on your own, for a week or two, and then we will meet again for a new lesson to re-evaluate what has been accomplished. We will discover your strengths, increase your understanding, and then open the door to what we will work on next.
*** Studio Equipment ***
You get a great view of a beautiful lake, and a fantastic and fun music lesson at the same time !
My humble yet dependable upright studio piano is in the foyer just as you walk in.
*** Travel Equipment ***
The student is expected to provide all instruments, books, and/or any other equipment to use for practice and performance outside of the lessons.
I used to say that you need to have access to a piano or keyboard to learn piano, and that is definitely the best way to learn. If you have access to a computer and not a keyboard, you can still learn to play music with these resources I heard about from George W. Russell, Jr., Professor of Harmony/Piano, Berklee College of Music:
http://www.musictheory.net/piano (This keyboard is mobile friendly, but only has 4 octaves.)
I am sure you will love my studio. I do expect students to do the travelling for music lessons :)
*** Specialties ***
I teach beginning through intermediate students.
Classical piano, music theory, sheet music, vocals with microphone, vocals for stage, acting.
*** Other things I can teach ***
Tutoring for basic studies, including study skills, setting goals and motivation.
Architectural design for buildings, homes, gardens and interiors.
Mythological Goddess Studies and Practical magic.
*** Note regarding dates of certificates and education ***
Dates posted are approximate, and to the best of my recollection without actually having to locate each certificate and find the date on it. If anyone wants the exact date, just ask me and I'll take a look.
I fully enjoy teaching music and theater to others and spreading the art of performance, reaching out to all generations. I believe in customizing every lesson to be unique for my students in a way that will serve their individual needs. I teach with patience and encouragement and believe that students prosper and improve much more from a positive experience. My lessons are intended to be fun and influential in a positive light that can lead to a rewarding career, hobby, or just for personal enjoyment!
Every since I was a little girl, I have been devoted to the arts. When I began college, I knew that music was my path. As a music major I developed a deeper understanding of music theory, piano, voice, and theater. I received my A.A. in Music at College of the Desert and my Bachelor of Music degree at the University of Redlands- which I attended on a music scholarship. I have played leading roles in several operas and musicals in Southern California, including Gianni Schicchi, Die Fledermaus, La Boheme (DTL nominee), The Impresario, The Grand Duke, Patience (DTL award), Cosi fan tutte, Little Women the Musical, Seussical the Musical, and many more. I have also appeared in several concerts, opera scenes, competitions (winning music scholarships and theater awards), and worked as a singer at churches, restaurants, and in pop bands. I continue to perform and study music because performing is a part of who I am and I could never live without it.
With this experience under my belt, I feel a desire to pass on my knowledge to students. I carry a strong passion to help people develop their abilities and make them their own. I truly believe that if someone wants something out of life then they WILL achieve it with dedication, perseverance, confidence, and by having FUN doing it!

I am a composer and pianist who works throughout southern California as an educator, producer, and performer. I've been playing the piano since I was 12 years old, from classical to jazz and pop, and I've been teaching private lessons since I was a teenager. In graduate school, I taught college level music courses including Music Theory, Music Analysis, Music Fundamentals, Intro to Music, and Jazz History. My most popular private lessons are in piano performance and instruction, which can include fundamentals leading up to classical, jazz, and or pop/rock. Additionally, I am often requested to teach electronic music production (in Ableton Live or Logic Pro) and composition. I also enjoy teaching music theory, history, notation, songwriting, and other related subjects. Lessons can range from covering piano technique, exercises, repertoire, to concepts for composing, or music production. Feel free to inquire!
Students who sign up for lessons with me can expect to study out of required reading materials, and may also be given worksheets with musical assignments. Because there are so many materials we can study from, I encourage students to take notes and prepare questions for our lessons. Homework usually consists of performance practice and technique, but may also include watching educational online videos, or listening to important musical recordings. I give my students assignments that greatly facilitate and benefit their musical growth. I enjoy working with students and showing them how they can reach their own musical goals.

OAKVILLE - Sometimes it takes a community to raise a dog — or in this case...
Theatre Sheridan will be pushing boundaries with its production of Spring Awakening opening this month.
Artistic director Greg Peterson is hoping that the sexy content might draw a new crowd to the shows.
"I'm a little worried about our audiences," he said. "This is my way of saying, 'It's time to get a new audience in to see these shows.'
"I think they're going to be fainting in the aisles."
Rehearsals are under way, and actors and production crew are working six days a week to be ready for opening night at the end of this month.
This year Peterson chose Spring Awakening, a Tony Award-winning musical based on a play by German playwright Frank Wedekind.
"[It's] about burgeoning sexuality in children and how when they're not told what's happening to their bodies or what to expect in life, they use their imagination and horrors happen."
The musical adaptation, while being set in the 1800s, will be more of a rock concert that features music by Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater.
According to Peterson, Sheik and Sater wanted to create a rock musical but wanted to take a spin on German expressionism. "[Sheik and Sater wanted to] keep the turn of the century German locale, with all the costuming, all of the sets. But when [the actors] sing their songs, they're going to step out of the actions and they're going to use microphones."
The rock 'n' roll concept will be translated through set design.
"By looking at the set, it won't look like a typical stage show. It's going to look like a concert," said Jake Gow, a third-year Technical Production for Theatre and Live Events student.
It may surprise many members of the community that Sheridan students put productions together.
In the basement of the college's H Wing, there are large shop rooms where sets and costumes are made.
During the weeks leading up to opening night, students are on campus working six days a week.
"It's a lot of time spent in school, but we like it," said Catherine Soulliere, a second-year Technical Production for Theatre and Live Events student.
"We're constructing [the set]. Essentially what the director wanted was a rock 'n' roll look. [All the set pieces] will be built by us," said Gow.
The "look" was achieved thanks to designer Kelly Wolf, whose job was to create a concept with Peterson.
"We want the audience to come in and think, 'This is something very different,' " said Wolf. "A lot of aluminum, metal, levels and some panels. It's very simple."
But costuming will stay true to the time period.
"We decided to stay pretty close to 1890s-inspired so that it could be grounded in a certain era," said Wolf.
Support from peers is what theatre students would like to see.
