Almost 40 percent of hospitals now have the basics of an EHR system in place, according to market research firm Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Analytics. A decade of EHR use has given some hospitals mountains of patient data, but this sheer volume forces an unavoidable question: Is all this information teaching us anything about improving outcomes or being more efficient?
If hospitals cannot easily answer this question, they are at risk of spending tens of millions of dollars on systems that make them data rich and information poor.
Hospital administrators and clinicians want to know how they can make the delivery of patient care more effective and efficient. CFOs want to improve financial performance. Communities, governments, and health insurance companies are asking how to improve the health of specific populations and predict health events. Physicians want to keep up on best practices and assess new trends, such as predictive and evidence-based care. Researchers want to conduct more advanced genomics-based clinical research and relate clinical information to genomic data. And patients seek answers on what they should be doing to stay healthy. Patients want to be treated by the best providers and to have their health information accessible to them and designated providers.
Advances in computing technology, such as services oriented architecture (SOA), information management, and supercomputing, have made it possible to evolve from data collection to data analytics, solving key challenges faced by the healthcare industry. For example, one suite of IT services, infrastructure, and tools harnesses the power of the massive volumes of information generated by today's healthcare industry and then converts it into data-driven intelligence. This rich source of clinical and business insight can bring strategic differentiation to health systems by giving providers unprecedented knowledge about their operations, patients, and, effectively, all aspects of their businesses.
Analytics have already taken off outside of the healthcare industry. A major insurance group wanted to uncover statistically valid risk groups among its auto insurance policyholders to improve its premium pricing, underwriting rules, and new business development. Working with IT specialists, the company assembled a data warehouse that stored four years of 300 historical factors on 2 million policyholders. A new predictive modeling technology was optimized to discover similar risk groups among the data. Of the 43 statistically significant new rules that were generated, a benefits analysis of just six of these suggested that data analytics could yield $2 million in increased profit for the company.
A Canadian airline used data analytics to solve a problem common across the airline industry: predicting no-shows, an essential input to revenue-management systems. Teaming with an IT company, the airline built two different predictive models using passenger-based features extracted from over 1 million passenger records. After evaluating the results, the airline concluded that the passenger-based data analytic models were more accurate than conventional history-based statistical models, and had the potential to increase revenues by up to 3.2 percent compared with compared with traditional models
The global healthcare industry faces growing pressures that can benefit significantly from data analytics:
The headlines make it clear that these pressures are not future-state: "Medicare Says It Won't Cover Hospital Errors," "Hospitals Must Report Patient-Satisfaction Data or Face a Financial Hit," "Hospitals Blitz Airwaves with Ad Campaigns-Stiff Competition as Consumers Gain More Say in Care."
To meet these challenges, healthcare organizations must be able to convert their volumes of patient and clinical data into intelligent, transformative information. Current strategies for reporting and trending data are labor-intensive and inefficient. In fact, one organization estimates that it spends $4 million to $5 million annually on resources to provide basic external reporting.
Simply dropping all available data into a database and providing access to it is not the answer. Without careful planning and a well-defined data management, modeling, and architecture supported by a robust infrastructure, the data will be difficult to access and ineffective at meeting current and future challenges.
Transforming information requires a unified, simplified, and streamlined "intelligent" environment that supports health analytics. Health systems can meet their business goals and become more competitive by leveraging their data-rich environments-even where disparate systems exist-transforming data into intelligent, high-value clinical, business, and research information.
The benefits of a properly implemented enterprise health analytics solution are numerous:
Over the past two decades, the healthcare industry has been pummeled by an explosion of data and complexity. Health analytics enable today's healthcare providers to take their mountains of data and convert them into insights that meet the growing demand for public reporting of quality, clinical outcomes, cost of care, and standards compliance. It is no miracle cure, but it is the most promising approach available today, combining the use of data with the emergence of
the next generation of Internet-scale computing as a potent means of helping to transform health care.

Spinal tap turned into a nightmare for Luol Deng
By JOE COWLEY firstname.lastname@example.com July 31, 2013 3:36PM
Luol Deng | AP
Related Stories
Updated: July 31, 2013 8:54PM
If it were up to several members of Luol Deng's camp, the two-time All-Star wouldn't have remained mostly silent throughout a spinal-tap incident that cost him the final seven games of the playoffs.
The Bulls small forward would have been outspoken. He would have been proactive in getting a second opinion on the spinal tap to find out if the procedure was somehow botched.
"It's just not his nature to rock the boat,'' a source said.
Deng never did pursue getting to the bottom of why the spinal tap led to so many problems, basically putting his life in danger when his body began to leak spinal fluid, but he finally talked about the last few weeks of the Bulls season.
In Ghana for an NBA "Basketball Without Borders'' event, Deng did an interview that appeared on NBA.com.
"The end of the season was disappointing,'' Deng told the website. "I worked hard all season, played in the All-Star, and wanted to take the team as far as possible in the playoffs. But then, when I got sick, We could have handled the situation better. Obviously there are some things that you can't handle. You can't really handle getting sick, being taken to the ER or going to the hospital. I got the spinal tap [to rule out meningitis] and that's where it went all wrong. My body didn't react well to the spinal tap. I had some serious side effects that not only didn't allow me to play basketball, but really put my life in danger.
"It's something that I wouldn't want anyone to go through, but when I went through it, basketball became second — especially that because what I went through health-wise, my family was very worried. I never want to experience something like that again.''
It was the "We could have handled the situation better'' comment from Deng that was the most interesting, especially because there were several people around Deng that wanted more answers than he was willing to look for.
Game 5 against the Brooklyn Nets was the final playoff game Deng played in, logging 43 minutes, scoring 12 points and grabbing eight rebounds. The Bulls went on to win the series against the Nets before being dismissed for the summer in the next round against the Miami Heat.
It was in that series that the Bulls were not only missing Deng from the starting lineup, but Kirk Hinrich.
"I don't know. It is what it is,'' Deng said in the interview when asked if the Heat series could have had a different ending with a healthy Bulls team. "We always go by the mind-set that whoever they would have played, that's who we're with.
"You can't really ask those 'what ifs' or what could have happened. We will all try to learn from that, move forward and get better next year.''
As far as Deng's immediate future with the Bulls, he is a free agent after the season. General manager Gar Forman indicated two weeks ago that "the window is open to talk about an extension.''

One of the most tantalizing aspects of quantum information science is that a quantum computer may eventually arise from technology that is completely unknown at present. Whatever the evolution of such devices, experiments that control individual atoms and photons will continue to lead exploration of the bizarre features of quantum mechanical foundations and their application to information processing. After all, the systems currently under study are precisely the "thought experiments" envisioned by Einstein, Bohr, Heisenberg, and the other founding figures of quantum theory over 80 years ago. With the new language of quantum information, we hope to gain more insight into the underlying quantum physical principles, just as the classical theory of information ushered in the advances in physics responsible for our current digital age.
The interdisciplinary nature of this field and the important role played by theory are characteristic trademarks of quantum information. Theory continues to play a key role, even as experimental progress is made toward the quantum processing of information for communication and computational tasks. This exciting and rapidly moving area promises to be a major driver of AMO physics in the next few decades, demanding advances in control of our quantum world that will continue to surprise and amaze.

Welcome to By the Numbers, Farmers Insurance Open Edition. As you may have guessed, the column this week will be very Tiger Woods centric. Hey, you notch it your 75th win on the PGA Tour, you can have your own Numbers column, too. Without further ado, your Tiger at Torrey Pines Edition:
Tiger Woods looked like he lost interest — or rather, patience and concentration — on his way to a four-shot victory at the Farmers Insurance Open, in what was a long, drawn-out Monday finish, where play was so slow that you could take a solid power nap without missing a shot. You think I'm exaggerating? Hardly.
At one point, Woods held an eight-shot lead and for obvious reasons, like the fact he's never missed a cut in 13 starts at this event, or that he had already won the PGA Tour tourney seven previous times, not to mention his eighth victory at Torrey Pines, counting the 2008 U.S. Open, his last major (number 14), in a dramatic 18-hole playoff against Rocco Mediate.
Tiger Woods continues to cruise on what will very likely be his seventh victory at the Farmers Insurance Open (and his eight at Torrey Pines when you include the 2008 U.S. Open) and his 75th on the PGA Tour, which will occur on Monday afternoon Eastern Standard Time.
Saturday was a wash-out due to fog — err, excuse me, the marine layer.
With eleven holes left to play in the final round, Woods has a seven-shot lead, with defending champion Brandt Snedeker and Nick Watney as his closest contenders.
Check out our second-ever (!!!) Google+ Hangout. Thanks to Jesse and Shoshana (@shosheak) for helping out and everyone for submitting questions via Twitter or elsewhere. In the future, I think we might use the hashtag "WUPHangout" or something to keep track of tweets. We'll also invite some of you to "Hangout" in the room with us (there will be a selection process), but let's take not rush into things.
Love this format and interacting with people! So much that we might (at least I'd like to if you guys are in!) have a Hangout on Saturday and Sunday.
We're still new to the medium, so please bear with us as we work out the kinks. Remember: it's a process. And good news is — at least I'd hope — is to get better with each rep! Feedback and constructive criticism is always welcome — i.e.. what would you like to see going forward? Thanks again.
I thought we were in San Diego, not Seattle (where I grew up — well, Bellevue, to be exact)! For the second round at Torrey Pines, it was gray and dreary, but calm — no wind. It rained steadily all day, but it was bearable for the most part. Right as Tiger Woods and his playing partners Rickie Fowler, who rebounded nicely after his first-round 77 and matched TW's 65, and Nick Watney were playing their last hole on the North Course, it started to pour.
On a calm and mostly cloudy day with delectable conditions, nineteen players shot five-under or better, with K.J. Choi and defending champion Brandt Snedeker firing a pair of seven-under 65s to take a share of the first round lead at the Farmers Insurance Open.
Not a knock to Brandt at all, but K.J.'s was probably more impressive since he played the South Course, the harder of the two tracks.

If you don't want to be hounded by men and women lugging cameras, perhaps it's best not to drive around in an extremely conspicuous-in-chrome Fisker Karma sporting a strip of purple LED lights under the grille. It's kinda hard to miss...
That observation aside, Justin Bieber was recently pulled over by police in California for driving at speeds reportedly exceeding 100 miles per hour – that's 25 mph below the Karma's top speed, in case you were wondering – down the 101 Freeway. The teen singer was cited for reckless driving.
According to the LA Times, Los Angeles City Councilman Dennis Zine witnessed the Biebermobile being chased by paparazzi and called 911. Though Zine doesn't deny that Bieber was being chased, he says it's "no excuse" for reckless driving, saying it reminded him of the "Princess Diana situation" in 1997, when Diana, Princess of Wales, was tragically killed in a traffic accident while the driver was fleeing from pursuing paparazzi.
TMZ reports that Bieber has filed an official complaint against the photographer that was chasing him, giving the license plate number of the car to the officers. Apparently, the offending member of the paparazzi was seen snapping photos of Bieber shortly thereafter while the police were taking a statement from the singer. Sounds pretty brazen, no?
Again we ask: Why drive the chrome Karma if you want to be left alone? It wasn't quite so flashy when he got it.
Perhaps a more mundane Prius would be a better eco-minded choice... and the 911 operator may even know what thatis, unlike the Fisker. Scroll down for a couple videos detailing the incident along with audio of Bieber's 911 call.

BOOK REVIEW: California Houses of Gordon Drake
California Houses of Gordon Drake
by Douglas Baylis & Joan Parry
William Stout Books ($39.95)
In a preface to this new edition of a 1956 monograph, Glenn Murcutt pays tribute to an architect who inspired him while growing up in Sydney. As he writes: "In an era besotted with computer generated and often extremely noisy 'architecture' where anything can be 'designed'…simply because it can…the reprinting of this book on Gordon Drake in a timely reminder that good design lasts."
Drake achieved extraordinary success in a brief career that was delayed by war service and cut short by a fatal skiing accident at age 34. He designed 60 houses in his seven years of practice, realizing only a quarter of them. Their warmth, simplicity and sensitive detailing resonated with clients and editors. His work was widely published in leading magazines, but few remember him now. That makes this handsome reprint and its fresh appraisal by Pierluigi Serraino especially welcome.
It's hardly surprising that Drake has been forgotten, for his houses represent the middle ground of modernism--pragmatic, sustainable and woodsy--eschewing the crisp geometry and ideological rigor of the great form-givers. Born in Texas, he graduated from USC, worked for Harwell Hamilton Harris and launched his practice with his own house in a canyon above Bel Air. It cost $8 a square foot, was furnished for $300, and was published in New York and Europe. Six more quickly followed, but Drake found the Bay Area a more fruitful work environment than the Los Angeles of Neutra, Schindler and the purist Case Study Houses. Ironically, he was the equal of Neutra and Craig Ellwood in his skill at self-promotion, thanks in all three cases to the imagery of Julius Shulman.
The original text transports us to a vanished era of optimism and idealism in which the future of America and, especially California, seemed boundless. Land and construction were cheap, middle-class couples could commission a house from a celebrated architect without bankrupting themselves, and a good practitioner could complete a dozen houses in a year. Drake wasn't satisfied. "The time has come when decent living no longer should be the exclusive right of the wealthy or the intellectual," he wrote, "but rather must be shared with the great mass of America…" Like so many of his contemporaries he dreamed of mass production, while creating unique houses tailored to difficult sites and discerning clients. Flash forward to the present, and you realize how little has changed—except for the lack of sites and escalation of prices. Architects still want to share their skills with a broad public and this loving account of a dedicated man may encourage them to persist in that quest.

Apply using a zig zag motion from the root to the tip of the lashes - this ensures full coverage of the lashes. Apply to the bottom lashes first then the top lashes. Allow the first coat to dry before applying a second coat. It is easy to build intensity by adding the mascara to individual lashes, even those in the corners of your eyes.

Veterans Issues
For more information concerning my work to support our Veterans, please contact me.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you.
More on Veterans Issues
The Mobile Office will visit different locations across the 11th District to provide constituents with greater access to federal services.
Congressman Kerry Bentivolio is privileged to announce the nomination of twenty-nine applicants to the prestigious UnitedStates military service academies. Hailing from municipalities all across Michigan's Eleventh District, which contains portions of Oakland and Wayne counties, these ambitious young people will be competing to become the future leadership of our nation's armed forces.
As a former soldier who served in both the Vietnam and Iraq War, I can tell you that our veterans often find it difficult to transition from military to civilian life. Workplace skill training can be a lifesaver for many of our veterans making the move from our armed services to the private sector.
Too many of our soldiers are finding it difficult to find jobs when they return from overseas. It's time to help them out.
Today, Rep. Kerry Bentivolio introduced the Veteran's Entry to Apprenticeship Act, H.R. 3384. This act amends current law, specifically Title 38, to allow veterans to use their educational benefits for enrollment in pre-apprenticeship programs.
Dear Constituents,
The partial shut-down is now entering its third week.
Even while the chambers disagree on the continuing spending resolution, the House did pass bills to fund:
WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congressman Kerry Bentivolio voted for the Honoring the Families of a Fallen Soldier Act, H.J.Res 91. This legislation makes continuing appropriations for death gratuities and related survivor benefits of deceased military service members of the Department of Defense. It passed the House of Representatives in a bipartisan fashion with a vote of 425-0.
Republican congressmen who have witnessed the horrors of war for themselves as combat veterans are among those leading the way in opposition to American involvement in Syria.
Reps. Kerry Bentivolio of Michigan, Chris Gibson and Michael Grimm of New York, Doug Collins of Georgia, Ron DeSantis of Florida and Steve Stivers of Ohio have all come out saying they oppose air strikes.

planning any for the spring/summer this year?
|Fri, 01-25-2013 - 7:40am
Dh wants to have the basement repainted; the painter has time in mid March.
So I'm trying to figure out what color.
Since I don't want to have the entire interior repainted at this time
I need to figure out the stopping point so that it doesn't look odd.
The basement of course leads to the hallway that contunes up the stairs, etc.
So no really good wall to stop the painting.
The whole interior is a pale yellow (soothing) but am thinking about a new color.
Maybe wheat. Guess I should head off to the DIY store to get inspiration.
Other than that, dh is thinking about continuing on with the side patio
(was supposed to do it last summer but could not due to my recuperation)
However, I really don't want the same people who did my back garden to do it,
but have not informed dh of that little detail yet ;O)
That's all from me.....

Yes and no. I want to come up with somewhere Riley can sleep when she outgrows her portacrib here. Every option has drawbacks. I'd love to do something I saw on Pinterest - make a closet into a bed/reading nook. I could do it with the spare room/guest room closet but it would be a lot of work. First of all, I'd have to find somewhere for all the stuff I've jammed into that closet. Then a platform would have to be made and a mattress would have to be made, because it's not the same size as a twin bed. And even if we managed to do all that, it would be a shortish, narrow bed and she'd have to sleep in the same room as Mom and Dad and she seems to sleep better in another room (as we found out when we put the portacrib in this room). And we'd lose a closet. Another option (not that it is really a home project, but I'm on a roll here, lol) is to put the futon that is in this room downstairs and get a daybed sort of thing in here. That would mean no one could go on the computer in the early evening when she was sleeping (not a biggie) and would mean buying a bed. But we'd then have extra sleeping area in the basement. Or (rolling on) she could just sleep on the futon, but I don't know how well that would work. Opened up, there'd be too many sides to fall off of and folded up I don't think it would be a very comfortable place to sleep all night.
So, our project might be making a closet into a book nook/dgdd bed, or maybe not, lol. Other than that, I can't think of anything we've thought of doing.
|Fri, 01-25-2013 - 9:57am
I would think that putting the futon in the basement and having C & B sleep down there would work fine. Then U could just get a crib that eventually turns into a regular little bed for Riley in the spare room . The computer,,,,, well looks to me like it's time you guys got a laptop ..... it's so much more flexible. Fun thinking about these things though isn't it? I had Mikie here on Thursday evening and have no bed /crib for him and I know we need to think about a sleeping arrangement for him.... in a couple months that is.....
|Fri, 01-25-2013 - 11:36am
We do have a laptop, but I seldom use it. I like my big monitor computer much more, lol. But it comes in handy when the computer room is in use, lol.
If we put a bed for Riley in this room, it would be a regular twin bed. That way we'd always have an extra single bed for anyone to sleep in, it would fit R from whenever she's out of a crib till forever, lol, and we'd still have the double bed for C and B in the spare room, like they have now. The futon in the basement would just give us extra options for the very rare times we have more than a couple people staying overnight.
But all these decisions are months down the road. The port a crib will work for the time being, but when Riley goes into a real bed at home, I'd like to be ready here with an option for her. Brian's been pushing to get her into a real bed, but I told him to be in no hurry. Being in a "real" bed means she can get up whenever she wants! Colleen was in a twin bed by the time she was two, but she'd been climbing out of her crib since she was a year old, so the move to a big bed wasn't a big change, lol. So far, Riley stays happily in the crib until someone comes to get her and I told them they should enjoy that as long as they can!

Yes, I have projects to begin soon, I hope! I finally figured out what I want to do with my computer room window and just have to go to Home Depot and get started on fabric and color choices and get them ordered.
Next up will be to finally get my dining room chair backs recaned and then all of the seats repadded and recovered. I'll have to pick out fabric first and that will be a hard decision as I've been trying to decide on them for a few years now!
Then I'll look into the cost of getting the living room, dining and kitchen repainted. That means picking out a new color. Oh, goodness, I hate making these decisions!! So much easier to just keep putting it off and being sick and tired of the color that's in there now!!
Then there's the bedroom window coverings to reconsider. Ohhhh..groannnn!!! Does anyone have a magic wand I can flick over all of this and it will all be finished at once??
Then maybe next year I'll consider changing the kitchen backsplash tile and the window coverings in there too. I'm pretty sure all of these decorating thoughts are giving me a headache!!
|Sat, 01-26-2013 - 8:49am
I am finishing up with painting the kitchen today. 1 more small wall to do and it's FINALLY done! It is a cheery soft yellow- CREAMY OAT. Just need to get 2 cans of paint to do inside the entryways,stairwell & hallway.This color will be BIRCH. I was going to get more paint for the bathroom but found 2 half canfuls of light blue... they are different shades but I am just going to mix together & use.
That is all we are doing for now to spruce things up. We got a call & email from the real estate agent aboutr the house. Wayne says he will think about it over the weekend & give him a call. I told Wayne it is all up to him as I don't care either way, although I do prefer the other house ! As said before, we don't have to move...we want to. We want to get on the outskirts of town with fewer neighbors
|Sat, 01-26-2013 - 1:10pm
Oh my - I finally was able to log in. We need to do some major updating and repair to our master bathroom. Not sure what we will do - waiting to see what our tax situation is and then we'll begin making a plan and selections. Maybe some other small updates such as faucets or light fixtures. We'll know what's in the budget after the tax man cometh!
|Sat, 01-26-2013 - 2:21pm
Hi Ann,
I think you are right about the crib,,, why the rush... they wander and Riley is still young... once she starts climbing out then that's the time to switch.
|Sat, 01-26-2013 - 2:24pm
Hi Teri, nice to see you!
Well I hope the tax man will be in a good mood when he comes to do your taxes...

Negotiation DetailsThere really was no negotiation on my part. It was a small store and sort of the bottom of the Nordstrom food chain.

Third person dies in Hazard shooting
Updated On: Jan 16 2013 06:15:33 PM EST
The third victim in Tuesday night's shooting at Hazard Community and Technical College has died.
The 12-year-old girl died at a Lexington hospital Wednesday.
A former student, Caitlin Cornett, and her uncle were also killed.
Police believe the shooting was the result of a domestic dispute.
Cornett had a child with the suspect, 21-year-old Dalton Stidham.
He later turned himself in to Kentucky State Police and will be soon charged with a third count of murder.

Infochimps, the first open data marketplace and a leading provider of tools, content, and operational expertise for big data infrastructure, today announced Dashpot for the Infochimps Platform, an easy-to-use analytics and operations dashboard that provides customers with a powerful suite of tools for business metrics and data visualization, cluster management and system monitoring.
Dashpot enables customers to easily capture and visualize data on the fly as it is being ingested by the Infochimps Platform through an in-stream decoration process powered by Infochimps' Flume-based Data Delivery Service. The process helps users get insights in near real-time, and ultimately multiply the value of their data. Once fully ingested by the Infochimps Platform, Dashpot also gives customers full visibility and control of their Big Data stack all in one place helping them go from input to insight faster.
"We built Dashpot to dramatically increase the usability and management of the Infochimps Platform and help our customers see their data as it streams in. When users decorate their data with other sources, they can produce completely new insights that can fuel a new level of critical decision making," said Joe Kelly, co-founder and CEO. "For example, a customer in the retail vertical is using the Infochimps Platform to capture real-time point-of-sale data. 60 seconds after a customer runs a credit card in a store, or gives their email address or phone number, their demographics have been fetched and they can be filtered and viewed in Dashpot. Being able to display real-time transactions with customer profiles, seconds after they occur, stands to change the game for the retailer."

By: Amanda Ciavarri
A local doctor accused of burying the body of a missing man appeared in court Tuesday. Right now, the doctor is in jail, but he could be getting out soon.
Dr. William Lewek faced a judge in Rochester City Court Tuesday morning with his lawyer, Matthew Parrinello. The 62-year-old psychiatrist is charged with tampering with evidence. He is expected to post bail sometime this week.
Police say Lewek hid the body of 31-year-old Matthew Straton in his backyard on Rowley Street in the Park Avenue neighborhood. Straton disappeared in October. The 31-year-old was laid to rest Tuesday. The Medical Examiner still has not released how he died.
Lewek's bail was reduced last week from $500,000 to $350,000. Prosecutors are concerned he could be a flight risk. Lewek is known to travel often and has the money to do so. News10NBC learned police took his passport during the search of his home, so he will not have access to it.
During his appearance, the judge waived the case on to a grand jury. The grand jury is the group of people who decide if the case has enough evidence to move forward. News10NBC is expecting their decision to be released in the next few days. After court, News10NBC asked why Lewek has been charged when we are still waiting for a cause of death on Matthew Straton to be released.
Kelly Wolford, First Assistant District Attorney, said, "They are somewhat separate in a part. We have evidence that we believe supports the charges that were filed last week and we felt it was important to go forward and file those and the rest, if there is anything else, will follow later."
Matthew Parinello, Lewek's attorney, said, "He is not charged in any way, shape or form charge in connection with the death. At this point in time, he is just charged with moving the body of being in possession a certain amount of narcotics drugs."
If there are more charges to come, they will mostly likely be filed after the cause of death is released. That will be determined after the toxicology report comes back, which will be a few weeks to a month.

Exhibition: 'The Colours of India' showcased different styles of contemporary Indian art
Walk into Shangri-lla Art Gallery, Vazhuthacaud, and you walk into another reality. During the course of the past year, artist and promoter J. Sasikumar organised two camps, one at Delhi and the other at Mysore.
More than 25 artists participated in these camps and produced some exquisite paintings. 'The Colours of India,' an exhibition of paintings, which was inaugurated by Mrinal Sen, displayed the results of the two camps.
When one walks into the gallery, one is spellbound by the manifold shades, shapes and hues of contemporary art. The 'Ganapathi Series' of Kashinath Bose catches the eye at once. While retaining the original base of the Kolkata-style of figurine painting, the artist has enriched it with his imagination. Another arresting work is a Tantric painting by Haridaso, which urges the viewers to ponder over the strong power of the strange symbols and geometric forms.
The Buddha on an aspen leaf is a beautiful panting by Delhi-based Kosal. Krishna Murari's work makes a strong impact with its use of space and the seven colours. Syama from Kashmir has painted a landscape that captures the emotions of winter and summer on the same canvas. M J. Sasikumar's 'Kerala Monsoon' is yet another striking work.
The magic created by the brush strokes of the artists from Kashmir to Kanyakumari unfolds before your eyes as you move from one picture to another. As Sasikumar puts it "I wanted to bring to the people of this city the changes in contemporary art across India."

Brest reduction
Hello friend ,
A breast reduction may be performed at any age, yet doctors ordinarily propose holding up until breast infrastructure is done right. Labor and breast nourishing could feasibly have noteworthy consequences for the size and state of breasts. All things considered, numerous ladies choose to experience breast diminishment before having youngsters and feel that they can address any ensuing progressions later
face lift surgery:)
Male breast reduction is a popular choice for many men who have recently lost a lot of weight or simply have enlarged breast. This is a major problem for many because of the social and personal issues that it causes. There is torment, there are insecurities, and there is the inability to like your own body. This surgery helps you to get away from these problems with ease and effectiveness. You will be able to reduce the size and have the appearance that you want. Regardless of what caused them to be this size in the first place, this is your best way to get them down. It does the job and it is a safe option for many men to choose.

The USHRP co-op opened its first leased building in the fall of 1977 at 6520 Cervantes. The building had 31 one-bedroom apartments and held 61 members. The second building that the co-op master leased was at 6503 Madrid, and is still in the co-op's possession to this day. By the fall of 1980, the co-op had master leased seven buildings and housed almost 200 members.
In 1981, USHRP passed a major milestone – the purchase of its first building. The co-op bought 6503 Madrid, which it had previously master leased, and named it after Patti Newman, one of the co-op's founding members and one of the first Executive Directors. Newman House comprises of 9 one and two-bedroom apartments. During the early 1980's the co-op continued its strategy of expansion through master leasing, eventually housing 480 university students and staff. The co-op's own staff grew quite large in order to accommodate a range of activities from building maintenance to member education.
In 1984, the USHRP purchased its second building, the Manley House. Manley was the co-op's first group house, meaning members slept in bedrooms and worked together to organize the rest of the common household. The building is named after Steven Manley, an active co-op member who was killed over summer vacation while fighting forest fires in Los Padres National Forest.
At this point, the co-op's history takes an ominous turn. USHRP became engaged in a lawsuit with one of the property owners from which it leases several buildings. After a legal battle of several years, the co-op ended up losing the lawsuit, quite a bit of money, and many of its master-leased buildings. Eventually, USHRP ceased master-leasing altogether, and operated only the two buildings it owned: Newman and Manley. Although the lawsuit caused a lot of changes at the co-op, and a great deal of financial trouble at the time, the co-op is now in a financially stable position and is looking ahead to the future.
In 1991, the members of the co-op voted to change its name to "Santa Barbara Student Housing Co-ops," (SBSHC) in order to be more descriptive of its activities and to emphasize its relationship with the UCSB campus. The co-op also began a management arrangement with the North American Students of Cooperation (NASCO), an umbrella student co-op organization. NASCO provided SBSHC with an executive director that also served as the West Coast Developer and combined consulting efforts to get the co-op back on it's feet.
In 1994 the tireless work and dedication of co-opers led to the acquisition of Dashain House. As a themed vegetarian house, Dashain was the first building within the co-op to have it's own meal plan. Initially it was going to be called the House of Seitan, but Dashain sounded friendlier as it also paid homage to a house pet. In 1997, the co-op bought Biko House, named for Steven Biko, the Black Nationalist student leader and revolutionary who fought and died in the struggle to end apartheid in South Africa. Biko is a house for people of color and their allies committed to fighting racism.
Each resident member is obligated to complete chore tasks as assigned by the member house manager. All the houses prepare their own meals using chores and under the supervision of elected member kitchen managers. Likewise, most routine and minor maintenance is done by house members under the supervision of the elected member house maintenance manager.
In addition to the student management, there is a professional full-time staff of 2 people who oversee centralized operations. The professional staff consists of the Executive Director and Member Services Coordinator. Central functions include collection of fees, applications and assignments, fiscal management and major maintenance. While the full-time staff provides continuity and expertise for the organization, major policy and organizational decisions are still reserved for the Board of Directors.
The Board works as a representational democracy in which the houses elect Board Representatives; the Board Representatives elect the Officers; the Officers chair committees of the Board; the Board votes on proposals from the committees and staff affecting SBSHC continuing policy, and sets the annual budget for the Co-op. Officer positions that serve on the Board of Directors are the President, the Vice President, the Secretary and the Treasurer.
Jeff Bessmer
Executive Director
Jeff is responsible for coordinating the cooperative's operations and finance as well as coordinating staff and administration. He implements decisions by the Board and works to motivate cooperative members through the cooperative spirit. In the coming quarters he will be working with the Board to develop and implement strategic plans for the cooperative's future.
Although Jeff grew up in the Washington D.C. area he has spent the last six years living in housing cooperatives and working with consumer-owned and worker-owned cooperatives in Madison, Chicago, Iowa City, and Austin. Jeff is presently working on his Masters of Co-op Management with cooperators around the world. In his previous roles with other cooperatives Jeff has been a manager of logistics and internal controls, sat on a variety of boards, led strategic planning and auditing, started a successful secondary cooperative, developed auditing standards, represented internationally, and organized inter-cooperative cooperation. In these roles Jeff has worked to enhance systems of accountability, developing performance metrics and implement results-oriented operations, increase efficiency, and most importantly more strongly embrace cooperative values and the cooperative spirit through strong, responsive connections with members.
Jeff presently sits on the board of NASCO Development Services and works to lead the cooperative community to better serve its members. Jeff believes strongly in the power of cooperatives to democratize, reduce poverty, and enhance equality through his work with cooperators around the world.
Outside of SBSHC Jeff is a bicyclist, has a passion for local food, goes backpacking, sings in low tones, and enjoys his time exploring what it is we all have in common.

Build a Gonzo Dot-Matrix Printer That Creates Pointillist Works of Art
When a Minnesota outfit of all-star DIY-ers called 1.21 Jigawatts won this summers Red Bull Creation Contest, we couldnt wait to have them create a project just for PM readers. Here, a couple of team members working as Mixed Media Engineering outline how they built a DIY processor/printer that can transform a regular JPEG image into a pointillist work of art, and print it by making dots with a Sharpie. If youd like to try this project yourself, you can download the software that they wrote.
By David Heisserer and Dillon Hodapp
After laying down the final dot on our Chuck Close portrait (inspired by his huge self-portraits such as this one), we couldnt have been happier with the results. That said, we hope you will hack this to death. One thing we didnt do was to make the Sharpie automatic; we liked the hands-on nature of tapping the pen to produce each dot, but you could built a more advanced version that lays down the ink dots itself. So go big. Make it fully automated. You dont have to build whats on the box.

Consolidate credit bills into one easy monthly paymentPay off your debt faster Lower your interest rates regardless of credit score Stop collection calls Eliminate late fees and over-limit charges
Consolidate credit bills into one easy monthly payment
Pay off your debt faster
Lower your interest rates regardless of credit score
Stop collection calls
Eliminate late fees and over-limit charges
Debt can be a confusing subject, especially when you're heavily into it, which most Americans are.
In the United States, total consumer credit – debt incurred for purchasing goods or services – is $3.1 trillion. Nearly forty percent of America's 120 million households carry a balance on credit cards. The average balance for each home that carries credit card debt is $7,200. A Debt Management Program (DMP) can help families and individuals struggling with that much debt. A DMP is a carefully constructed financial plan to eliminate unsecured debt without taking on a loan. It often requires clients to stop using credit cards and make monthly payments to the credit counseling agency, which uses the money to pay off creditors. A DMP is not a loan. The counseling agencies communicate with creditors to reduce the interest rate and lower or waive late fees so that monthly payments go down. The agencies work in the client's favor, saving them time and money in paying off the debt. For example, someone with $15,000 in credit card debt paying 20 percent interest would pay $456 a month over 48 months to eliminate the debt. That is $22,344, including $6,922 in interest. On average, InCharge is able to reduce the interest rate by 6 to 9 percent. If the rate goes down to 7 percent, the monthly payment drops to $381 (including the average monthly fee of $22). The total paid is $18,669 and only $2,243 in interest. The total saved over 48 months is $3,675.
The National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC), the national organization that certifies credit counseling agencies, demands an educational component from all its members. A good counseling agency teaches clients the root causes of debt so they understand why they are in this position to begin with. The education process includes monthly newsletters, financial calculators and help with setting up and maintaining a budget. InCharge clients have access to MyInCharge, an online account tool with up-to-date information on debt balances.
FICO, the best-known of several companies that calculate personal credit scores, says that Debt Management Programs will not affect a person's credit score. Participating in a DMP may be noted by a creditor, but that does not negatively impact the score. InCharge considers itself a partner in a Debt Management Program and communicates with clients often to prevent late payments. The typical DMP runs from 36-to 60 months, but if the client stays engaged, he leaves credit card debt free.
A Debt Management Program is often confused with Debt Settlement and Debt Consolidation, though they are three distinctly different ways of dealing with debt. In very basic terms, Debt Management Programs seek a reduction in interest rates and monthly payments with no impact on credit scores. Debt Settlement seeks to negotiate a payment that is less than the balance owed and has a considerable negative impact on a credit score. Debt Consolidation seeks one monthly loan payment that will pay off the debt. Impact on the credit score varies.
Debt Settlement is making a deal with creditors to pay less than the total balance owed. As attractive as that sounds, there are some severe penalties, notably to your credit score and tax liabilities. Debt Settlement usually involves attorneys. There are fees involved, typically a percentage of the settlement amount, which can be significant. Typically, the attorney asks the client to stop making payments to the creditor and instead, contribute money on a regular basis to a fund. When the fund reaches a certain level, the attorney will approach creditors and seek an agreement to settle for that amount. The client will be expected to provide the creditors with documentation of their financial status, meaning income, assets and all debts. Creditors want verifiable proof that the person can't pay before they agree to a Debt Settlement. They are very suspicious of someone just trying to save money by paying less than they owe. If the creditor accepts the agreement, the debt is considered settled. However that is not the end of the story. The client must report the amount forgiven on their taxes as income. For example, if the creditor forgives $5,000 of a $10,000 debt, that $5,000 must be reported to the IRS as income and the client must pay taxes on it. Finally, there is the matter of how it affects a credit score. In the above example -- $5,000 forgiven on a $10,000 balance – the credit score companies see that as a negative because only half the debt was actually paid. The person ran up $10,000 in debt, but paid only $5,000 of it. There is concern about the risk of not having a debt paid in whole in the future, thus there is a negative impact on the overall credit score.
Debt Consolidation Plans involve packaging all debts together and paying them off by taking out a loan at reduced interest rates. The lower rate is often secured by using other assets, such as a home or automobile. For example, a person with three or four credit cards, might owe a combined $20,000 on the cards and be paying something like 24 percent interest. The credit counseling agency representing him could go to a bank and negotiate a loan at half that rate and save quite a bit of money in interest. The loan money would be used to pay off the credit cards, creating a zero balance on each card. Instead of making three or four payments every month, the person would have only one payment. There are some similarities between Debt Consolidation Plans and Debt Management Programs, but one glaring difference: Debt Consolidation Plans don't require a client to give up their credit cards. That leaves the temptation to run up more debt, which only extends the problem.
Each of these options – Debt Management Program, Debt Settlement and Debt Consolidation – can be done by an individual. A credit counseling agency does not have to be involved. A person wishing to go it alone, should start with a detailed budget, listing all income, expenses and debts. The person would have to contact each creditor and conduct negotiations with each one, whether it's for reduced fees, waiving late fee penalties or reducing monthly payments.Dealing with debt can be stressful. Negotiating with creditors, especially ones that have been hounding you with demanding phone calls and letters, will add to that stress. Non-profit credit counseling companies like InCharge, which is certified by the NFCC, can act as a buffer. The choice is yours.
Goal is to access reduced interest charges, late fees and monthly payments. Make monthly payments to credit counseling agency, which then pays creditors. Educating the client on root cause of debt is important part of the process. No impact on credit score.
Goal is to negotiate a significant reduction on the balance owed. Service fees can be substantial. Amount that debt is reduced is treated as taxable income and must be reported to IRS. Considerable negative impact on credit score.
Goal is get a loan at a reduced interest rate and consolidate bills into a single monthly payment.Generally speaking, the debt is paid over a longer period of time. Loans often require collateral such as a home or car. Little impact on credit score, as long as no payments are missed.

The resort was just a few walks away from Cagban pier which was good for those travelers who were worried about getting late for their trip the next day. The rate was cheaper, good for those budget travelers, especially for a group, who are checking in during peak seasons. The facilities were good, the use of kitchen was free. The place was quiet and clean. However, it was very far from the white beach itself and from the night life.

Had booked a "deluxe twin" several months in advance, but at arrival we were informed that the "resort" was fully booked. We were offered to stay in a room in the house of the family running the "resort". Bathroom in the hall was very filthy, room also filthy and depressing. Only after a 5-min discussion with staff did we get a refund since we did not get what we booked. Also, this "resort" is far away from White Beach - 15 min with car and is nowhere close to the action. Stay somewhere else!

Definitions for offset printing
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word offset printing
Princeton's WordNet
offset, offset printing(noun)
a plate makes an inked impression on a rubber-blanketed cylinder, which in turn transfers it to the paper
Offset printing
Offset printing is a commonly used printing technique in which the inked image is transferred from a plate to a rubber blanket, then to the printing surface. When used in combination with the lithographic process, which is based on the repulsion of oil and water, the offset technique employs a flat image carrier on which the image to be printed obtains ink from ink rollers, while the non-printing area attracts a water-based film, keeping the non-printing areas ink-free. Development of the offset press came in two versions: In 1875 by Robert Barclay of England for printing on tin, and in 1904 by Ira Washington Rubel of the United States for printing on paper.

T&T accent | Warriors grab chance to spread 'creole bacchanal'
Port-of-Spain, Trinidad & Tobago | Leave it to Trinis to tie their first trip to the World Cup finals to musical expression. The lead story in the Express on Nov 17 invoked relevant lyrics from Lord Kitchener (née Aldwyn Roberts), who in "Mas in Germany" (1973) sang
I am heading to the North
Guess where? Up in Germany
That's where I'm going to be
Ah just have the feeling that we should be spreading this creole bacchanal …
The T&T accent will be welcomed in Germany, certainly by T&T killer Paul Caligiuri. He jokes with New York Times columnist George Vecsey before the Wednesday match in Bahrain: "I just want them to win so I can get off parole." Caligiuri's late goal in 1989 eliminated T&T as it sent the USA to its first World Cup finals in 40 years. Yet Caligiuri's impressions of the day—a day that American soccer fans remember, Vecsey writes, "with a touch of sadness and guilt"—are of Trinidadian hospitality.
Never, ever did you hear people congratulate you the way people did in Trinidad. The guys started giving them paraphernalia—our shin guards, our headbands, anything. We appreciated it so much. Normally, you'd be ducking down in your seat.
In her podcast remembrance of the 19 November 1989 pathos, Georgia Popplewell of Caribbean Free Radio (see Nov 16) remarks that she had never seen a crowd of islanders so silent. Sixteen years later, though, she interviews revelers in the St. James district and says, "Perhaps you have to be the citizen of a really small country with a crummy social and political situation to know how this really feels." Referencing the levels of crime and violence, the winning-goal scorer from Wednesday, David Lawrence, said he wanted the side's victory to serve as a "stepping stone." "We hope that this is the start of what could only be peace, love and harmony among people in Trinidad and Tobago."
Harmony reigned for a day among legislators, according to the Trinidad Guardian—the one-time employer, by the way, of Nobel laureate V.S. Naipaul's father, Seepersad. Despite a supposed ban on pictures, Diego Martin West MP Keith Rowley is shown in the tearoom, arms thrown aloft as if having a Holy Ghost moment. "Play to the man in space … run them ragged," he advises the TV.
Politicians love a winner; Thursday, Nov 17, was declared a national holiday.

''Neo and Trinity get married.'' Keanu Reeves is joking. Come to think of it, maybe he's not. Following ''Matrix'' publicity protocol, the star really isn't yapping much about ''The Matrix Revolutions,'' the third and final (we think) installment in the sci-fi series. Still, he has a few general tips. ''There's a battle between Zion and the machines,'' he says. ''And the relationship between Agent Smith and Neo is resolved. And some questions of the journey of Neo as The One are answered. And lots of surprises.'' One of which, we're guessing, is a much-talked-about 14-minute, low-altitude helicopter chase. Most of our favorite characters are also back, including cyber-sexpot Monica Bellucci as Persephone and Jada Pinkett Smith, whose Niobe continues to lead the rebellion against those oppressive scraps of metal. ''I'm more involved in the story,'' says Pinkett Smith. ''I help save the day, and you see my love story with Laurence resolved.'' Still, she adds, ''I don't think anybody gets married.''
But let's go back and talk about ''Reloaded'' for a minute. The movie will gross $280 million domestically, but critics generally weren't pleased, and, as things played out, summertime audiences cared more about a talking fish than ass-kicking computer viruses. ''The second movie is always the toughest one in a trilogy,'' says series executive producer Bruce Berman, who is confident that viewers will flock to the third installment. They'd better. Warner Bros. and Berman's Village Roadshow took a risk when they shot both ''Matrix'' sequels simultaneously over 18 months in California and Australia -- a great plan if interest builds in the series (see ''The Lord of the Rings''), but potentially deadly if people decide they've just had enough (''Back to the Future'').
Also complicating things is the continued silence of the Wachowski Brothers, who don't do any press. ''Why would they want to give answers to something that's about searching for yourself?'' says Reeves. He's got a point, but the shroud of mystery surrounding the writer-directors got a little tattered earlier this year when older sibling Larry showed up to ''Reloaded'''s L.A. premiere dressed kinda funny with a supposed dominatrix on his arm. ''Did that happen?'' Reeves asks seriously. ''I don't remember that.'' So he's the one.
The Killer Moment ''In all of the 'Matrix' films, there's always like eight of them,'' quips Reeves.

Dec 13 - The Independent Community Bankers of America released this statement following the Senates procedural vote on legislation (S. 3637) to extend full FDIC coverage of noninterest-bearing transaction accounts. The legislation would extend the Transaction Account Guarantee program for two years.
The Senates failure to advance legislation to extend TAG coverage of noninterest-bearing transaction accounts at this time is disappointing for Main Street community banks and the communities they serve. Not extending this critical deposit coverage due to procedural roadblocks threatens to further concentrate deposits in too-big-to-fail financial institutions and undermine the economic recovery.
Thousands of Main Street community banks and businesses rely on the TAG program to ensure they can continue to serve their customers and communities. If Congress does not extend this critical program before its Dec. 31 deadline, approximately $1.5 trillion in TAG deposits will become uninsured overnight, with uncertain economic consequences.
With so much uncertainty facing the nations economy, now is not the time to pull the plug on this important source of stability. ICBA continues calling on lawmakers to extend this much-needed deposit coverage before its too late.
ICBA thanks Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Johnson (D-S.D.) for his tireless efforts to extend the Transaction Account Guarantee program. He is a long-time friend to the community banking industry, and ICBA appreciates his hard work. ICBA also thanks all of the senators who stood up for Main Street and supported TAG throughout the process.
