CHIME Submits Meaningful Use 2 Comments
CHIME Calls for Time Flexibility, Certification of All Clinical Quality Measures
ANN ARBOR, MI, APRIL 30, 2012 Today, the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives
(CHIME) submitted its comments on the proposed rules for Stage 2 Meaningful Use, calling for more
time to allow healthcare organizations to better prepare.
Comments filed with both the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and Office of the National
Coordinator for Health IT (ONC) identified concerns related to the proposed Stage 2 EHR reporting period
as well as CMS varying approach to clinical quality measures (CQMs). CHIME also made recommendations
on all 42 proposed objectives for Eligible Professionals, Eligible Hospitals and Critical Access Hospitals.
CHIME recommended that CMS allow EPs, EHs and CAHs to demonstrate Meaningful Use during a continuous 90-day
EHR reporting period for their first payment year in Stage 2, mimicking the approach used in Stage 1.
To allow adequate time for application development, provider adoption and testing, CMS should follow the
precedent set in Stage 1, CHIME said. And similar to Stage 1, the EHR reporting period would be any
continuous 90-day period within the first payment year of Stage 2 and a 365-day reporting period for all
subsequent payment years within Stage 2.
We felt the approach taken in Stage 1 gave providers much-needed time to make sure the correct fields were
populating and accurate Meaningful Use reports were being produced we think a similar approach is needed
for Stage 2 and beyond, said Pam McNutt senior vice president and chief information officer at Dallas-based
Methodist Health System.
While we appreciate the delay of Stage 2 to Fiscal Year 2014, that decision was necessary, given that no
one would be in a position to meet Stage 2 requirements beginning Oct. 1, 2012, said McNutt, a member of
CHIMEs Policy Steering Committee. By giving providers flexibility through a 90-day reporting window, CMS
can ensure that more Stage 1 Meaningful Users will become Stage 2 Meaningful Users.
In both letters, to CMS and ONC, CHIME commented on the challenges involved with clinical quality measures.
The accurate reporting of quality measures is one of the most daunting challenges faced by providers today,
CHIME said. Through our experiences with Stage 1, we found that although EHR products were able to automatically
produce CQM reports, the data was inaccurate and largely incomparable across different providers.
As part of Base EHR certification, CHIME urged ONC to require certification of EHR products to all CQMs needed to
meet Meaningful Use in each setting. CHIME wrote that certification should include all CQMs for associated settings.
And in order to minimize the costs of development and implementation, we recommend that ONC work with CMS to limit the
total number of CQMs associated with each setting.
Quality measures are a vital component to increasing care efficiency, decreasing disparities and lowering costs,
said Elizabeth Johnson, vice president of applied clinical informatics at Tenet Healthcare, and a member of CHIMEs
Policy Steering Committee. It is clear that ONC recognizes the value of quality measures, but the state of quality
measurement needs to mature. HHS has been working to harmonize CQMs across its various reporting programs; however,
more must be done to make the quality metrics consistent and meaningful.
CHIMEs comments include suggestions on all 42 objectives and measures for both ambulatory and inpatient settings of care.
While CHIME supported nearly every measure meant to meet each objective, member CIOs were concerned with the lack and
types of menu options for EPs, EHs and CAHs. The menu set for both EPs and hospitals is quite small in relation to the
minimum number that would need to be met, thereby providing relatively few options for EPs and hospitals, the comment
letter said. A number of the proposed menu set objectives and measures also would have non-trivial cost implications
for EPs and hospitals. CHIME urged CMS to carefully assess both the number and feasibility of menu options for the
average physician practice or the average hospital in finalizing its rule for Stage 2.
CHIMEs comments to CMS can be found here.

It depends on what a girl wants you to provide. A losing girl just wants you to provide a luxury car, boutique and designer clothes, a mansion for a home, and great gourmet food at fancy overpriced restaurants with trips all over the world for desert, that girl is a loser.
If a girl wants you to provide an economy version of that with a nice banquit of gloriousky, fun, emotional comfort, ecstasy and satisfaction with a giant desert of hubba-hubba wongabonga ding dong rapturama; that's a winner.
For her? Yeah. For me? No.
Biologically, he's just there to provide a little data variance.
oh my, but if we made corresponding joke about woman's role we'd be labeled sexist.

Mets Blog wonders what to expect from Jon Niese this year.
This is a big year for Niese. He set the bar high last season as he really started to put things together. Obviously there is a lot more work to do but being a left-hander, especially with the effectiveness of his curveball, the sky is the limit. I almost think that Niese has more potential than Mike Pelfrey for those reasons alone, and the fact that Niese seems to keep himself much more composed on the mound doesn't hurt either.
Is team owner Jeffrey Loria a little too confident in the Florida Marlins chances this year?
The NL East is going to be tough, and easily should be considered one of the top divisions in the league. It's fair to say that all five teams in the division have improved from last season. Loria isn't necessarily wrong by his statement because even the Pittsburgh Pirates can "have all the pieces", but the NL East is simply too overwhelming for Florida this year.
Chop-N-Change wonders who will be the biggest surprise for the Atlanta Braves this season.
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised by any of the names on the list because I expect them to have great seasons, so I would be surprised if any of them underperformed. I think Dan Uggla will be considered one of the better off-season acquisitions, as he will have to carry the team on his back at times. So if Atlanta is in contention should Uggla be an MVP candidate?
With Joe Blanton being named the fifth starter for the Philadelphia Phillies in their "Fab 4" rotation, things just got a lot more difficult for Kyle Kendrick.
It wasn't anything Kendrick did wrong, it was just bad timing. He has proven to me that he is a legitimate big league starter, but understandably there is no spot for him right now. He will have to be patient in the bullpen all summer and will be waiting for Blanton to falter to earn his spot back in the rotation.
It wasn't too long ago when Jason Marquis was considered to be one of the more reliable starters in the game, but after a poor 2010, the veteran has a lot to prove.
After a brutal Spring Training and an even worse three starts to begin last season, it was clear something was wrong with Marquis. Sure enough, the issue with his elbow cleared the air in what was already a wash of a season for the right-hander. Although the injury is something that will have to be taken into account for the rest of his career, Marquis should be given a free pass for last season and deserves to have a fresh start.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Chris Rock's Working on a Showbiz-Focused Third Film

Deadline reports that Rock will write, direct, and star in the currently untitled comedic send-up of the entertainment industry, and Scott Rudin and Barry Diller will produce. A leaked casting call has suggested the film centers on a comedian who wants to be seen as a serious actor. As they say, write what you know.

Politicians Make Bad Exegetes
Friday, February 03, 2012 Comments (0)
Politicians make bad exegetes especially when they misuse Scripture to make their point. This was the case yesterday when our president used Luke 12:48 a justification for raising taxes on the rich. Since this blog is a ministry of our church, I have reserved it to speak on moral and theological issues. I have purposely made an effort not to talk politics or candidates on this blog. I do not want to violate any IRS rules for nonprofit organizations.
As a pastor, however, I am allowed by IRS rules to comment on moral issues facing our country. Since the president brought up Scripture in his comments yesterday, I feel compelled to correct his misunderstanding and misuse of the Bible. In other words, this is obviously a moral issue.
It is wrong to take verses out of context. This is obviously what the president did yesterday. If you read Luke 12:48 in its context, you will notice the passage is not talking about the poor or rich people giving to the poor. It is the parable of the wise steward or manager. Each parable has a big idea. Jesus used parables to communicate spiritual truth. If you read the parable carefully, you get the big idea. The big idea of the parable of the wise steward is this: people who have been entrusted by God with many abilities and responsibilities will be held to a higher standard when Jesus returns.
There are many other passages that speak our responsibility to care for people who are genuinely poor. The parable of the wise steward is not one of them. The debate on how to best care for the poor and empower people to work and care for themselves will continue in the political arena. Caring for the poor is a moral and spiritual issue and Christians should prayerfully consider the best ways to care for and empower the poor. Yet the argument the rich should pay more taxes because Jesus said, "To whom much was given, of him much will be required," is a dubious one.
It is also our responsibility to point out when our government officials misuse or mischaracterize the Bible. No matter who you are you are not at liberty to take verses out of context. Government leaders do not like it when we take their words out of context. Guess what? God does not like it when you take his words out of context.

Some may think our church is closing because our property is up for sale. We are not closing, but we are evaluating, restructuring and replanting a new church in the Ocean View area of Norfolk. After much prayer and deliberation, it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and us (Acts 15:28) to plant a church which uses the majority of their resources for mission and ministry. We could not be faithful to the direction God is leading by staying in our current location. This new church will be guided by a mission to glorify God by reaching the unreached, making disciples and serving our community. So until the building actually sells, we invite you to visit and learn more about our exciting future! God is doing a new thing!

Competitor Quotes:
Mike Samuel, 3 year starting QB at The Univ. of Wisconsin, a BIG 10 School, led his team
to the Rose Bowl wearing The BRAIN-PAD. " I took some vicious hits running the option
and I feel the Brain-Pad helped kept me "TMJ-INJURY-FREE" all 3 seasons.".
- QB, Mike Samuel
|Jason wrote: "Had Brain-Pad on my banner in Bellator too! 46 fights never been
jaw-injured or lost a tooth! I get hit and I keep coming at them!"
"It is very good for athletes to use espcially young atheletes to protect there heads so
injuries never happen. The Brain-Pad adds strength in competition, also good safety
for jaw shots, and my biggest thing is breathing - It allows you to breathe better than
any other !"
- Jared Franklin, Intl. Professional, TKD Atrist & 10 year Brain-Pad user.
| " I have worn the BP for over a decade now. I recommend the Brain-Pad for all practitioners
of the Martial Arts. If you're on my San Shu Team, or in my facilities - You're wearing the
- Cung Le - Master Martial Artist Guru, Champion and instructor
" We have had NO JAW INJURIES in the 1st 4 months. I attribute our
success to the lack of injuries that normally occur WITHOUT the BRAIN-PAD.
We endorse the BP to our direct competitors(teams) to ensure safety in our sport. ".
- Jim Gaine, Head Coach - Clemson Rugby
" I've been wrestling since age 6 and have seen: Broken arms, broken teeth,
broken jaws, cut bleeding lips . . Etc. I've seen guys 'go flat' on the mat from not
being able to breathe. Since using the BP, I have not had 1 jaw injury, not
1 chipped tooth and no bloody lips (when I had braces). The BP let's me breathe
when caught in statemates - I won't wrestle without it ! ".
- Tom Jabberowski, Stand-Out, NJ H.S. Wrestler
I was approached by another mouth guard company and asked to endorse their
guard. I took a look and quickly turned them down. It didn't come close to the
technology and quality Brain-Pad offers. Impacts to the helmet can transmit energy
into the TMJ causing injury. I've seen a lot of needless jaw injuries because the
rider was using an inferior mouth guard.
- Lyle Sankey, Rodeo Legend & Instructor
" Before using the Brain-Pad, my eyes would bludge, my hearing would go away.
My teeth are chipped and cracked from years of clenching ! After 9 yrs of training
my MAX squat was 650 lbs. The st time I used the BP High Performance model,
I got 700lbs ! I could BEATHE and my face did not ven get RED ! I'm showing the
BP to my club ! I LOVE IT ! ".
- Doug G., CAREER RECORD-HOLDING POWER LIFTER
" I love the breathing. LAX is a running sport with contact and I feel protected and
have more energy for the whole game. What a great invention ! " .

Fifth Third Bancorp: Financial Loser
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Fifth Third Bancorp (FITB) was the loser among the nation's largest banks Wednesday, with shares declining 3% to close at $16.11.
The broad indices ended mixed after the U.S. Census Bureau said retail sales rose by 0.1% in January after increasing 0.5% in December. Excluding the auto sales, retail sales were up 0.2%, compared with a 0.3% gain in December. The increase in total sales matched the consensus estimate among economists, according to Zacks, while sales growth excluding auto sales came in ahead of the 0.1% increase expected by economists.
There had been some concern among economists that the rise in payroll taxes in January would damp consumer sales. The tax increase has certainly had a major effect, with the U.S. Treasury reporting on Tuesday that the federal government operated with a $3 billion budget surplus during January. Deutsche Bank analyst Dominic Konstam said in a report early on Wednesday that "the anecdotal evidence suggests that consumers have been more resilient than we had anticipated. At present, we anticipate +1.5% real GDP growth in the current quarter and this assumes consumer spending rises just 1%."
Bank stocks took a breather from a rally. The KBW Bank Index (I:BKX) was down 1% to close at 55.37.
Fifth Third Bancorp
Shares of Fifth Third Bancorp of Cincinnati have returned 6% this year, following a 23% return during 2012. The shares trade for 1.3 times their reported Dec. 31 tangible book value of $12.33, and for 9.5 times the consensus 2014 earnings estimate of $1.69 a share, among analysts polled by Thomson Reuters. The consensus 2013 EPS estimate is $1.65. Based on a quarterly payout of 10 cents, the shares have a dividend yield of 2.48%. During the fourth quarter, Fifth Third continued to grow its mortgage revenue, which totaled $258 million, increasing from $200 million the previous quarter and $156 million a year earlier, as the company continued to enjoy robust volume amid the refinancing boom. (Please see TheStreet's earnings coverage for a detailed discussion of the company's fourth-quarter results.) But at this point in the economic cycle, investors are concerned over how much of a decline in profitability the large mortgage lenders will see from lower gains on the sale of newly originated loans. With the market rate on 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds rising by about 40 basis points to roughly 2% over the past two months, mortgage-backed securities are also seeing higher yields.

10 Questions for Chrisette Michele
Chrisette Michele colors outside of the lines and it's apparent in almost every aspect of her life. The 27-year-old chanteuse isn't afraid to rock a red lip or keep her hair as short as the rappers she's sung beside. And she's never felt comfortable acting like a sheep just for a paycheck. Perhaps her mission to lead and not follow has much to do with the reason she'll have three albums under her belt by the end of this year. Her newest, Let Freedom Reign, is a collection of tunes showcasing the ills and thrills of love. Songs like "I'm a Star" and "Goodbye Game" are prime examples of Chrisette's ability to marry soulful vocals with stories of the heart.
But even if her words sound familiar, her actions for the new year will be anything of the sort. "[For] 2011, I'm feeling very rebellious," she reveals. "I'm looking forward to not doing what I'm supposed to do. I'm looking forward to not following any rules. I don't want to do what anyone tells me to do."
As she sits in a plush chair, sipping hot chocolate on a frigid November afternoon in New York City, Chrisette is warm and welcoming. The Long Island gal isn't the type to give a brief explanation during a conversation; she articulates herself in a manner where no one feels jipped on the answers she provides. Rap-Up.com gets inside the R&B child's head as she reveals the song Drake was supposed to appear on, her chemistry with Rick Ross, connecting with Nicki Minaj over Twitter, her admiration for Kanye West, and her style icons. Uncage the songbird below.
1. What have you accomplished with this album that you didn't get to do with the last two?
2. What's your favorite song on the album?
3. Four rappers were originally supposed to be on the title track and only two got on: Talib Kweli and Black Thought. What happened to Drake and Rick Ross?
4. Speaking of Drake, he was in the video for "Epiphany (I'm Leaving)." How did you link with him before he was the superstar he is now?
5. How's your chemistry with Rick Ross after working together several times?
6. "Number One" was co-written by your mother. How did that come about?
7. You tweeted about wanting to do a song with Nicki Minaj. Have you since connected?
8. What did you think of Kanye West's film "Runaway" after attending the New York premiere?
9. Do you have a style icon in the music industry?
10. Many artists have causes they're passionate about. Have you supported any or created one of your own?

8 Stocks Ripping Higher on Big Volume
Rock-Tenn (RKT) is a manufacturer of packaging products, recycled paperboard, containerboard, bleached paperboard and merchandising displays. This stock is trading up 6% at $72.85 in recent trading.
Today's Volume: 1.6 million
Average Volume: 962,108Volume % Change: 283% Shares of RKT are ripping higher today after Credit Suisse raised its price target on the stock to $82 from $73. The firm said reports indicate that containerboard producers successfully passed through a full $50 a ton price increase in September. From a technical perspective, RKT is trending higher here with above-average volume. This move has also pushed RKT above some near-term overhead resistance at $70.51. This move is quickly pushing RKT within range of triggering a major breakout trade. That trade will hit once RKT manages to clear some past overhead resistance at $73.65 with high volume. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in RKT as long as it's trending above $70.51, and then once it sustains a move or close above $73.65 with volume that's near or above 962,108 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then RTK will have a great chance of re-testing or possibly taking out its next major overhead resistance level at $77.33.

This cupcake shop just opened its first branch on Hong Kong Island. It is famous for its array of pretty homemade cupcakes that have a low sugar content and no artificial coloring or flavorings.
From experience, we know most of these pretty cupcakes don't usually taste as good as they look.
Natural Chiffon advertises that their cupcakes are made with rich PRESIDENT butter from France and the cream toppings are made with up to 50% French puree. This lured us to have a go at them. Plus, we were curious to find out if they were truly special and different from the run-of-the-mill pretty cupcakes.
The shop was almost empty when we visited on a Friday afternoon, except for two furious customers who were asking to speak to the manager because their pre-order was held up. Apparently, they made a pre-order at the Mong Kok branch and scheduled to pick it up at the Wan Chai branch on that day, but the staff did not accept their receipt. We didn't ask so we weren't sure what happened. But, they were still arguing when we left with our two lovely cupcakes in a paper box.
The shop produces cupcakes with various looks and flavors, such as chocolate, honey, chocolate & honey, coffee, mango, berry, rose & berry, sesame, chestnut, pistachio, orange, etc. We took home Honey & Chocolate and Rose & Berry under the advice of the sales girl.
The sales girl reminded us that Chocolate and Honey was slightly sweeter than other options. We agreed that the cake could do with less white cream which made it too sweet. Having said that, we were both happy and surprised at the same time because the chocolate topping tasted like real chocolate rather than just chocolate cream. A Big Thumbs Up! The chocolate cake tasted rich as well but it could be just a little bit smoother.
The Rose & Berry was a lighter option. We liked the subtle flavor of rose in the cream, but we couldn't taste much berry, although we could spot a drop of unmixed berry puree on the cream which suggested that the Chef did use puree to make the cream. The cream was very smooth and the cake was quite buttery. Again, we just wished that the cake could have been smoother.
In general, we were satisfied with the cupcakes. We will probably taste them again during tea time, with a cup of coffee from Pacific Coffee Place which is in the same building. However, we still hold onto our belief that pretty cakes do look better than they taste.
The cupcakes could be a pleasant surprise for your friends on their birthdays or other special occasions. Pre-order is accepted, but I hope you don't run into the same trouble that the two furious customers did.

10 Surprising Collectible Cars of Tomorrow
The Plymouth Neon, a collector's car? The Hummer H2, a hard-to-find treasure in 2030? You never know what people will be nostalgic for in the future (just look at our weird cultural obsessions with the 80s). But we tried our best to predict what relatively recent cars will be rare and valued in the decades to come. You might already own a collectible.
By Ben Wojdyla
Plymouth Neon
When introduced in 1995, the Plymouth Neon recast the small-car segment as an acceptable form of transportation rather than a necessity of working-class budgets. We're limiting this pick to the extremely rare launch livery version: white with five-bubble hubcaps and a roof rack made famous in the "Hi" commercials. Rust claimed many, and with the numbers that were made, these cars are rare to the point of comedy. In a nationwide search we turned up zero examples for sale.

Giant Penguin in Berlin -- April Fool's Day, 1931
A German newspaper ran a "news photo" of a giant five-foot-high penguin affectionately kissing a man with its long beak. The accompanying story explained that the Gargantuan penguin had recently been brought to Berlin and was being kept in a private zoo. Eventually, the plan was to take it on a tour of the world as part of an attraction in a circus.
The story created a minor sensation in Berlin. Pet store owners, animal trainers, and naturalists all received numerous calls from people wishing to see the giant penguin.
Several days later the newspaper admitted that not only the picture a composite, but that the bird shown was a stuffed member of its species. [Milwaukee Sentinel - May 17, 1931]

Sommelier Leslee Miller of Amusee and Certified Cicerone® Michael Agnew of A Perfect Pint are bringing the popular libation bootcamp back – not just once, but twice a year!
Each session we promise to mix up the fun & education, so you can build upon your repertoire of delicious wine and beer knowledge. If you made it to our last series, come again! It'll be different each time around.
When: October 21st, 28th & November 4th. Class starts promptly at 6:30pm and run until 8:30pm.
Where: TBD
Cost: $40 per class session or sign up for all three at once for just $100!
Contact Leslee Miller directly at email@example.com for all questions & inquiries.
The Sessions:
Oct 21st: Beer for wine lovers, Wine for beer lovers
Let's agree to come together! Wine lovers will find much to love about beer and vice versa in this interactive class taught by Sommelier Leslee Miller and Cicerone Michael Agnew. From grape varietals to beer styles, you'll discover the right beverage for your palate. Are you a Cabernet drinker? Let us show the beer that best matches the complex bold flavors of this grape. A Pilsner drinker? We'll give you the grape alternative for this crisp, refreshing beer style.
Oct 28th: Why oaking matters
Toast, caramel, macaroon, pancakes and crème brûlée. You guessed it! These are all descriptions for the impact of oak on a libation. Elevate your senses in this creative 'why oaking matters' class with Cicerone Michael and Sommelier Leslee. Not all oak is the same. The wood's subtle nuances vary by country of origin and level of toast. Explore those differences and more as we examine the effects of wood on your favorite drinks from grapes to grains!
Nov 4th: Festivus for the rest of us!
A joyous, holiday feast – what else? Sorry, Kramer won't be there, but we will! Come learn the art of combining beer and wine with food as two of the Twin Cities' most passionate food and libation instructors, Sommelier Leslee Miller & Cicerone Michael Agnew, pair their way through three genres of holiday celebrations. From a traditional turkey dinner, to a full Festivus layout (spaghetti & meatloaf), to a Hanukkah feast with latkes and jelly doughnuts, you'll sample the wonderful variety of the holiday table and pick up some tips on the best beverage accompaniments.
Cicerone Michael Agnew & Sommelier Leslee Miller
In May of 2009, Certified Cicerone Michael Agnew of A Perfect Pint and Certified Sommelier Leslee Miller of Amusee teamed up for the first time to teach a beer, wine, and cheese class at Cooks of Crocus Hill. It turned out that the pairing of the two of them was as magical as the ones they created with the cheeses. Since that night their professional relationship has grown to include joint classes and private tasting events, food-service consulting that encompasses both beer and wine, and the highly successful, bi-annual Beer & Wine University. The teaching chemistry between them is so strong that a class alum once told them, "you two are more recognizable together than separate."
Working together allows Michael and Leslee to speak to audiences they might not otherwise reach. During the course of an event even the most hardcore wine or beer people find at least one sample that makes them want to know more about the other side.

By: The B-52s
Just one moment and I knew
You're my best friend, do anything for you
We've gone so far, and done so much
And I feel like we've always been together
Right by my side, through thick and thin
You're the part of my life I'll always remember
*The time has come
It's for the best, I know it
Who could have guessed that you and I...
Somehow, someday
We'de have to say 'good-bye'
You've helped me find the strength inside
And the courage to make my dreams come true
How will I find another friend like you?
Two of a kind, that's what we are
And it seemed like we were always winning
But as our team is torn apart
I wish I could go back to the beginning
Somehow today... We have to say 'good-bye'

text: Today's reading from the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 8:26-40) recounts the story of the Ethiopian eunuch. This guy was a powerful officer in the court of the queen, in charge of her entire treasury. He was riding along through the desert in his chariot, reading the prophet Isaiah, when Philip—who had been prompted by an angel to catch up with the chariot—strode up alongside the eunuch and asked, "Do you understand what you're reading?"

Plea deal reached in Del. campaign finance probe
State prosecutors have reached a plea agreement with a prominent Dover developer accused of making illegal campaign contributions to Gov. Jack Markell in 2008.
Michael Zimmerman pleaded not guilty earlier this month after being charged with making campaign contributions without divulging their true source.
But attorneys told a judge this week that they've reached a plea agreement in the case. A hearing is set for Sept. 10.
Prosecutors allege that Zimmerman made the illegal campaign contributions in October 2008.
Zimmerman's attorney was not available for comment Friday. Attorney General Beau Biden's office declined to comment, as did an independent counsel Biden appointed to investigate illegal campaign contributions.
In a separate federal court case, Zimmerman is facing bank fraud and conspiracy charges for allegedly diverting construction loans for unauthorized purposes.

The South Africa 'Up' series follows the personal journeys of a diverse range of young South Africans who were born into the apartheid era, filming them every seven years as they grow up through the country's dramatic political changes.
We meet them first at age seven in 1992, two years before Nelson Mandela became president in the first non-racial elections in South Africa. Every seven years since, the twists and turns of their personal lives have been charted against the backdrop of South Africa's recent history.
In this eight-part series, we see the raw innocence expressed at age seven give way to awkward teens at 14, and the weight of beckoning adulthood at 21. Love, family, money, religion, race and identity are some of the themes underpinning the charming yet poignant, and in some cases tragic stories that unfold by the time they are 28 in 2013.
Tshepo, whose name means 'hope', is one of the South African 'Up' children who we have followed since he was seven years old. Now aged 28 in 2013, he has had a lot to deal with in his personal life. One thing that keeps him strong is singing in the Bambanani choir in White City, Soweto. This music provides some of the soundtrack to the third 28Up South Africa film. Here is the choir rehearsing two songs that have been arranged by their members.

All of us, in the world of Engineering, Physics, or Mathematics, occasionally have ideas that we think should be published. But a report in a recognized journal can entail, at the very least, many months or even years between submission and publication. I was an Associate Editor for an IEEE publication for six years, and tried to speed up my end of the review procedure, but the overall effect was minuscule. Occasionally, an author would die while his/her paper was being processed.
So now a relatively new technology, a website, enables me to "publish" Science Essays that have escaped, for the most part, peer review. Nevertheless, I trust that the reader will resonate, here and there, with one or more of the ideas expressed on this website.

oh please! deep down, you know better than that. neither honda, nor toyota use union shops either. how do you explain those???
the only thing a union is good for these days is lining the pockets of the union bosses, and keeping peoples' jobs that dont deserve them. other than that, the things unions SAY they do, mostly are covered by OSHA standards.

I read in the newspaper today that the Canton plant is going to do some continuous training with the employees to eliminate the quality issues. The plant does 5 vehicles. They said the fault is plainly on management for keeping the employees skills up to par. This came straight from management in the Nissan plant. I am not sure about Smyrna. That's a lot of vehicles for new employees at a new plant to be producing with that kind of experience. No wonder they are having these quality issues. They are putting too much on these employees at one time. They need make sure they have one vehicle at a time done correctly instead of doing 5 different ones at one time.

Life as an orphan...Orphan statistics:
• It is estimated there are between 143 million and 210 million orphans worldwide (UNICEF).
• Every day 5,760 more children become orphans
• 2,102,400 more children become orphans every year in Africa alone
• Every 15 seconds, another child in Africa becomes an AIDS orphan
• 8 out of 10 children orphaned by AIDS lives in sub-saharan Africa
• Approximately 250,000 children are adopted annually, but…
• Every 2.2 seconds another orphan ages out with no family to belong to and no place to call home
• In Russia and the Ukraine, studies have shown that 10% – 15% of these children commit sucide before they reach age eighteen
• These studies also show that 60% of the girls become prostitutes and 70% of the boys become hardened criminals
• Another Russian study reported that of the 15,000 orphans aging out of state-run institutions every year, 10% committed suicide, 5,000 were unemployed, 6,000 were homeless and 3,000 were in prison within three years.
The goal of the Hope Por Tomorrow Pak Project is to help bring the love of Jesus Christ to these children before they leave the orphanage. Every Pak has a bible inside in the language of the orphan. The children do not own their clothes but simply get new clothes each week from the laundry. The Hope Paks give them an item that is theirs to share or trade with their fellow orphans who may need something from the supplies they receive.
The response from leaders of orphanages has been unanimous. They love the paks. One orphanage director in Russia commented that the discipline problems had diminished with the arrival of the Paks. We asked her what part of the Paks had helped with discipline. She said, "That's obvious! The bibles have been the key. The children sit around reading them all day!" At that specific orphanage, we distributed illustrated bibles in Russian. These bibles often cost as much as the contents of the Pak, but we are certain that they are the most important ingredient.
The Hope For Tomorrow Paks are also given to teens and young adults that live in "transition homes" that are typically church based. These homes focus on helping orphans transition into adult life without resorting to the abuse of drugs and alcohol or choosing a life of crime.

Definitions for knitting needle
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word knitting needle
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
knit′ting nee`dle(n.)
either of two instruments used for hand knitting: a straight rod of steel, wood, plastic, etc., pointed at one or both ends, used in pairs, or a single curved, flexible rod with two pointed ends.
Category: Clothing
any of various needlelike devices used in machine knitting.
Category: Clothing
Princeton's WordNet
knitting needle(noun)
needle consisting of a slender rod with pointed ends; usually used in pairs
knitting needle(Noun)
A long, thin, pointed rod, used in pairs to knit yarn
Knitting needle
A knitting needle or knitting pin is a tool in hand-knitting to produce knitted fabrics. They generally have a long shaft and taper at their end, but they are not nearly as sharp as sewing needles. Their purpose is two-fold. The long shaft holds the active stitches of the fabric, to prevent them from unravelling, whereas the tapered ends are used to form new stitches. Most commonly, a new stitch is formed by inserting the tapered end through an active stitch, catching a loop of fresh yarn and drawing it through the stitch; this secures the initial stitch and forms a new active stitch in its place. In specialized forms of knitting the needle may be passed between active stitches being held on another needle, or indeed between/through inactive stitches that have been knit previously. The size of a needle is described first by its diameter and secondly by its length. The size of the new stitch is determined in large part by the diameter of the knitting needle used to form it, because that affects the length of the yarn-loop drawn through the previous stitch. Thus, large stitches can be made with large needles, whereas fine knitting requires fine needles. In most cases, the knitting needles being used in hand-knitting are of the same diameter; however, in uneven knitting, needles of different sizes may be used. Larger stitches may also be made by wrapping the yarn more than once around the needles with every stitch. The length of a needle determines how many stitches it can hold at once; for example, very large projects such as a shawl with hundreds of stitches might require a longer needle than a small project such as a scarf or bootie. Various sizing systems for needles are in common use.
