If a hospital is to use profit centers successfully, it should resolve several philosophical, organizational, and accounting matters, including:
In recent years, profit centers have proliferated in both teaching and community hospitals. Originating in the early 1900s in the private sector, they were introduced to hospitals in the mid-1970s, when Robert Heyssel, MD, former president of Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, used them as part of a highly successful turnaround effort at that hospital.
The underlying idea is to encourage physician chiefs of service to manage their departments like small businesses. If all chiefs do a good job, the hospital will earn a surplus, which can be used to upgrade facilities, replace equipment, expand programs, and engage in other activities that require substantial equity capital.
However, if a hospital is to use profit centers successfully, it should resolve several philosophical, organizational, and accounting matters. Unless the senior management team addresses these matters carefully, there can be a variety of unintended consequences. Indeed, because these consequences appear all too frequently, many hospitals would benefit from converting their profit centers into standard expense centers.
Designating clinical care departments such as surgery, medicine, and pediatrics as profit centers is only a preliminary step. A hospital's senior management team then needs to address two philosophical issues: decision-making latitude and cross-subsidization.
Decision-making latitude. Will clinical care chiefs have relatively unfettered authority to pursue a "profitable" case and payer mix for their departments? If so, the hospital may find that it has compromised its strategy. Suppose, for example, that the chief of surgery recruits only certain kinds of specialists so as to tilt the department's case mix in a more profitable direction. He or she also may decide to use commercial payers to subsidize free care. By contrast, the chief of pediatrics may not have the luxury to subsidize free care with commercial payers, and thus may (however subtly) encourage uninsured patients to use another hospital.
One potential result is that the hospital will have both a fractionated strategy in terms of the kinds of patients it treats and an inconsistent free-care policy. The strategy to serve certain disease conditions, for example, will be frustrated by a clinical chief who minimizes the number of patients with those conditions so as to improve the department's bottom line. And the hospital's free-care policy will differ from department to department, depending on each department's financial circumstances.
Cross-subsidization. Recognizing that departments such as cardiovascular surgery and orthopedics are inherently more lucrative than pediatrics or psychiatry, for example, most hospitals have their financially strong departments subsidize their weaker ones. Under this model, the hospital uses some of the revenue from the "rich uncles" to subsidize the care given to patients by the "poor nephews."
But a cross-subsidization approach is not a panacea. To use it successfully, a hospital should answer two questions: "How much?" and "Who decides?" The intensity of the feelings inherent in a poorly managed cross-subsidization model is illustrated by a
cardiovascular surgeon in a large medical center located in the northeast who blurted out one day, "I'm tired of subsidizing those lazy pediatricians!"
Clearly, then, a cross-subsidization model should be accompanied by a process-conducted by senior management, usually at budget time-that not only determines the amounts of the subsidies, but also assures subsidy providers that their contributions are helping enhance the hospital's overall strategy. At the same time, the process needs to result in a commitment from subsidy recipients to run their departments within the constraints of the agreed-upon support.
A hospital using profit centers also needs to resolve two organizational issues. One concerns clinical service (sometimes called ancillary) departments-mainly pathology, radiology, and anesthesiology. The other relates to the role of clinical care departments in a service line strategy.
Clinical service departments. The problem with establishing profit centers in clinical service departments arises because, in a diagnosis-related group (DRG) payment environment, only clinical care departments earn revenue. A hospital's senior management team then needs to decide whether a portion of it should go to the clinical service departments in exchange for processing lab tests, providing radiological procedures, and performing other services. If so, the hospital needs a system of transfer prices.
An example of a transfer price is the amount that the department of medicine would pay the department of pathology for a complete blood count. Under a transfer pricing system, the department of pathology earns revenue from two sources: sales to non-DRG payers at "market prices," and sales to clinical care departments at transfer prices.
Two related questions emerge. First, should a clinical service department attempt to earn a surplus from internal sales, or simply break even? Second, should clinical care departments be allowed to purchase a test or procedure from outside the hospital if they are dissatisfied with the transfer price?
Service lines. Many hospitals have begun to shift their strategies toward service lines, such as oncology, cardiology, and women's health. A key element of this shift is the need for several historically independent departments to collaborate in providing patients with coordinated, comprehensive, timely care. For an oncology service line to be successful, for example, it must ensure that surgical and medical oncologists, pathologists, radiologists, geriatricians, social workers, hospice nurses, and others subordinate their individual professional perspectives to the overall mission of the service line. They then can work in a collaborative, mutually respectful manner, with a focus on a patient's overall needs.
In addition, if its service line strategy is to be successful, a hospital must recognize that its service lines are, in effect, profit centers, and its clinical care departments-like its clinical service departments-need to provide services at transfer prices to the service lines. In short, a service line strategy implies that both clinical care and clinical service departments be designated as standard expense centers. They no longer are responsible for the elements that comprise revenue: volume or mix of patients, prices charged to payers, or payer mix.
Unfortunately, many hospitals that have shifted to a service line strategy have not made this conversion. The result is dueling profit centers, with considerable confusion over who has bottom-line responsibility.
From an accounting perspective, the success of a responsibility center arrangement can be evaluated in terms of two criteria: fairness and goal congruence. Fairness means that each responsibility center manager has reasonable control over the elements of the profit equation (price, payer mix, case mix, volume, variable costs per unit, and fixed costs) for which he or she is responsible. Goal congruence means that each manager, pursuing the best interests of his or her responsibility center, is simultaneously pursuing the best interests of the hospital overall.
Fairness. Many hospitals that designate clinical care departments as profit centers do not give managers of those centers (the chiefs of service) the power to control several elements of the profit equation. Some, perhaps confusing full-cost accounting with responsibility accounting, continue to allocate the hospital's overhead to the profit centers, despite the fact that the chiefs cannot control the associated expenses. Although it would be relatively easy to establish transfer prices for those administrative service departments with an output unit (such as dietary, laundry, and housekeeping), they do not do so, thereby failing to give a clinical chief the power to control the amount of the administrative service department's expenses that are included in his or her profit center, while simultaneously failing to give the administrative service departments an incentive to control their costs.
Similarly, some hospitals exclude chiefs of service from price negotiations with managed care payers, thereby preventing them from exerting control over a key element of the profit equation. Although no chief can have complete control over prices, a hospital that included its chiefs of service in price negotiations would at least be giving them some influence over this element of the equation. No profit center arrangement is entirely fair, but a key task for senior management is to make it as fair as possible.
Goal congruence. A lack of goal congruence can be seen in several ways, such as when a clinical care department, in pursuit of a satisfactory surplus, avoids treating low-income or poorly insured patients, when one element of the hospital's mission is to treat those patients. More concretely, consider the situation shown in the exhibit. In this example, the pediatrics department bills a third-party payer $11 for a test that is required in conjunction with a diagnostic workup. The $11 covers the time spent by nurses assisting the patient, the processing of paperwork by the administrative staff, the supplies needed for the test, and the time spent by a physician reporting the results to the patient, plus the cost of the lab work.
In an effort to improve fairness, the hospital has allowed its clinical care chiefs to purchase this and other basic lab work from freestanding facilities. Here, the chief of pediatrics reduced the cost of lab work from $6 (the pathology lab's transfer price) to $4.50 (the outside lab's charge). However, because the variable cost of the test in the pathology lab ($2) is below the charge of the outside laboratory, the cost to the hospital is higher than if the test were conducted in-house. Thus, the overall contribution to the hospital's fixed costs falls from $9 to $6.50. The result is a violation of the goal congruence criterion: What is good for the pediatrics department is not good for the hospital.
There is no easy solution to this problem. If the hospital requires pediatrics to purchase tests from the in-house lab, it will have reduced the chief's ability to control the department's costs, thereby violating the fairness criterion. The hospital also would violate the fairness criterion if it required the in-house lab to charge pediatrics the same amount as the outside lab (since it would have inhibited the lab's ability to control its revenue).
This conundrum can arise any time one responsibility center in an organization provides goods or services to another and transfer prices are used. Some organizations accept the loss of goal congruence, assuming that the expanded decision-making latitude given to profit center managers will assist them to perform well, and that their enhanced performance will override the goal-congruence losses when all elements are considered. Others will simply inform their profit center managers that not all of life is fair, and require in-house purchases (but at what price?). Some organizations will treat the price discrepancy as an indicator that something is awry, and initiate an inquiry into the reasons for the difference. (In academic accounting, tenure has been granted to professors based on their work in transfer pricing! The issues are complex.)
To address the foregoing issues, a hospital's senior management team should address itself to four questions. Although related, they can be assessed individually.
Should our clinical care departments be profit centers or standard expense centers? When a chief of service lies awake at 3:00 a.m., what financial matters does the senior management team want him or her to worry about? Profit center managers will worry about price, payer mix, case mix, volume, variable cost per case, and fixed costs. By contrast, the chief of a standard expense center will be concerned mainly with whether the department's physicians are treating patients in accordance with the appropriate clinical pathway or disease management protocol. Similarly, chiefs of clinical service departments will focus on the cost per test or procedure.
To illustrate the change in thinking, consider the situation depicted in the Exhibit 1, in which the department of medicine is a standard expense center. The department's original expense budget was $3,676,350, based on its anticipated case mix, volume, variable expense per case, and fixed expenses.
Exhibit 1
Because the department cannot control its case mix or volume, the budget is "flexed" each reporting period, based on the actual number and mix of cases seen by the department's physicians. The flexed budget of $3,793,975 results from multiplying the actual number of cases for each DRG by its budgeted variable cost, and adding budgeted fixed costs. It is greater than the original budget because there were more patients, 50 of whom were for the highest-cost DRG.
The actual results show that the department spent $3,975,475 during the reporting period, resulting in a negative spending variance of $181,500. As indicated, the department overspent on each case type, and also on its fixed expenses for the period. The department chief can focus his or her managerial attention on this amount only, and needs to pay little if any attention to the impact of changes in case mix, volume, payer mix, or price.
Does our responsibility center structure match our strategy? If a hospital adopts a service line strategy, it needs to shift the profit center focus to its service lines. Under these circumstances, both clinical care and clinical service departments are appropriately designated as standard expense centers, and their financial performance is measured by means of a flexible budget, as shown in the exhibit. As indicated above, price, payer mix, case mix, and volume are considered to be outside their control, and they need only provide the requested services at the agreed-upon transfer prices.
Some organizations will address the fairness/goal congruence conundrum shown in Exhibit 2 by using a two-part transfer price: One element is for fixed costs and the other for unit variable costs. The fixed-cost portion is paid monthly, and is designed to cover "standby" capacity, whereas the variable-cost portion is volume and mix dependent.a By mitigating a service-providing center's incentive to increase its volume to help cover its fixed costs, a two-part transfer price helps to improve goal congruence.
Exhibit 2
Do we use transfer prices for administrative service centers? A hospital's administrative service centers fall into two categories: those with a measurable output unit and those without. Laundry, housekeeping, and dietary are examples of the former, whereas the executive office suite, human resources, and fiscal affairs are examples of the latter. Neither needs to be allocated. In Heyssel's model at Johns Hopkins, for example, service centers with measurable output units used transfer prices, while those without such units had their costs incorporated into profit centers via a "shared agreement"-that is, a fixed amount agreed to at budget time, that did not change even if a service center's actual expenses exceeded its budget. The result was a movement toward fairness, and greater cost-control incentives for administrative service center managers.
How should our reward system change if we use standard expense centers? With a profit center structure, clinical care chiefs can manipulate many variables to improve bottom-line performance. By contrast, a standard expense center manager has only two: the resources used to treat each DRG, and the department's fixed costs. Because the budgeted resources per DRG (length of stay, tests, procedures, medications) supposedly represent an optimal care pattern, a reduction would not normally be considered desirable. "Good performance" means managing care so that, for all patients treated during the period, actual costs coincide with the flexible budget.
One possible approach, then, is to reward departments for achieving the flexible budget (but not for beating it). In addition, as many hospitals are discovering, rewards can be given for improved nonfinancial performance. Regardless of their bases, these rewards can come in a variety of ways: bonuses to high-performing employees, preferential status for capital equipment requests, funding support for residents to attend conferences, or even special parking spaces. With a little creative thinking, the list could be quite long.
A fundamental management maxim emerging from the work of business historian Alfred Chandler, in his study of the history of four major U.S. corporations, was that "structure follows strategy." Many hospitals have shifted their strategies in recent years toward service lines, but they have not changed their responsibility center structures to fit the new strategic focus. Indeed, by continuing to designate their clinical care departments as profit centers, they actually impede their ability to make the new strategy successful.
Converting clinical care departments to standard expense centers will require senior management commitment. The affected chiefs of service almost certainly will resist the change, viewing it (perhaps appropriately) as a lessening of their power. However, being standard expense centers allows them to focus on what they know best (clinical care guidelines) and gives them more time to devote to their research and teaching. With an appropriate redesign of the incentive compensation system, the shift should not be too difficult.

ENG 604 (3cr) Seminar in American Lit: Revolting Bodies (Herndon)
This class will focus on representations of "revolting" bodies in contemporary American literature, with the understanding that bodies often constructed as "revolting" by our society are experienced as normal and even used as a means of social revolt by those who live with and through them. In other words, the class will examine "revolting bodies" as a layered concept and one that takes a particular shape in American society because of its focus on ideas such as corporeal autonomy. In many cases, individual bodies are represented via literature in ways that are meant to symbolize or take up anxieties about larger cultural issues. In short, the individual body is often constructed as a microcosm of the larger society. By examining how various authors have represented "revolting bodies" through characters who are disabled, transgendered, and racialized, students will deepen their understanding of both the literature being studied and how that literature is in dialogue with cultural understandings and constructions of bodies in ways that reflect cultural values and anxieties.

A Penn Valley man lost control of pickup then went over a embankment and landed upside down. CHP Public Information Officer Marc Morrison says the accident was reported shortly after nine-thirty Sunday evening. Officer Morrison says the 21 year old driver lost control of his 2006 Ford Pickup at Indian Springs and Spenceville intersection, after he accelerated very quickly. Officer Morrison says the driver went down a nine foot embankment.
"The truck immediately spun off the side and dropped down into a nine foot drop off on the side of the road and overturned onto its top. He was found at that location still in the vehicle."
The somewhat uncooperative driver was taken into custody for suspicion of driving under the influence. The driver did not suffer any injures in the accident.

The Cahill Expressway is an urban freeway in Sydney and was the first freeway constructed in Australia, opening to traffic in 1958.[1] It starts from the Eastern Distributor and Cross City Tunnel in Woolloomooloo, and runs through a series of sunken cuttings and tunnels between the Royal Botanical Gardens and The Domain. It then runs on an elevated section across the northern edge of the Sydney CBD at Circular Quay, and then across the Sydney Harbour Bridge to North Sydney. It connects there to the Warringah Freeway.
It is named after the then New South Wales Premier John Joseph Cahill, who also approved construction of the Sydney Opera House. While being a vital link in the Sydney road system, it is generally not well loved by Sydneysiders, who dislike its ugly appearance and its division of the city from its waterfront.
The expressway was first proposed in 1945 as part of an overall expressway plan for Sydney. Public opposition began when the proposal was first made public in 1948, with the Quay Planning Protest Committee being formed. Despite the opposition, construction on the elevated section of the expressway went ahead in 1955. Funding was provided by the Sydney Council and the NSW Government, and the elevated section was opened on 24 March 1958. Work on the sunken section commenced almost straight away after that, and the additional section was opened on 1 March 1962.[2]
In June 2013, the Expressway was temporarily renamed the Tim Cahill Expressway in honour of Socceroo Tim Cahill, ahead of the Socceroos' 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Iraq.[3]
Vital link[edit]
The expressway forms a vital link between Sydney's eastern and northern suburbs, by connecting the Eastern Distributor to the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Harbour Tunnel. It allows travel directly from the airport to the northern suburbs without traffic signals, and reduces pressure on alternative cross-city routes such as Bridge St, Park St and Bathurst St. The traffic on the elevated section was also reduced by half following the opening of the Sydney Harbour tunnel in 1992.
The elevated section is a double deck, with the top deck carrying cars, and the lower deck railway lines and Circular Quay railway station. The station provides easy access to the Sydney Opera House and the Royal Botanical Gardens. The westbound lanes dip underneath the Harbour Bridge approach road, before forming a large spiral circling the Sydney Observatory to join to the Bridge in a confined space.
The expressway has a pedestrian walkway next to the traffic lanes, where great views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the CBD can be seen. It is accessible by stairs from Macquarie St, or an elevator near Circular Quay railway station. The walkway connects with the Sydney Harbour Bridge walkway. The NSW Roads and Traffic Authority offers tickets to view the New Year's Eve fireworks from the Cahill Expressway deck through a competition.[4]
The Cahill Expressway was controversial from day one. Its elevated nature, proximity to the city and utilitarian appearance meant that when the design of the elevated section was first unveiled to the public, it was described as ridiculous, ugly, unsightly and a monstrosity. This was an early example of freeway revolt.
Sydney Morning Herald writer Elizabeth Farrelly describes the freeway as 'doggedly symmetrical, profoundly deadpan, severing the city from the water on a permanent basis'.[5] The sunken section of the expressway runs between the Royal Botanical Gardens and The Domain, key green spaces in Sydney. The Botanic Gardens Trust describes the expressway as destroying the spatial relationship between the two.[6]
Demolition of the expressway has been proposed in the past, most prominently by former Australian Prime Minister Paul Keating, who in 1994 offered federal funds in the amount of A$150 million toward such a project.[7] The then NSW Premier, John Fahey, rejected the proposal because of the cost and the resultant traffic problems. In 2005, the cost of demolition was estimated at more than A$1 billion, and the traffic problems resulting from the removal of the link would be severe, given the lack of alternative routes[citation needed].
Jeffrey Smart painting[edit]
One of Australian artist Jeffrey Smart's most famous works is Cahill Expressway (1962). The painting shows a stylised view of the Cahill Expressway tunnel and approach road, with a single man shown at the side of the image. The painting shows the alienation many feel when faced with the infrastructure of large freeways, especially when closely juxtaposed with pedestrian scale areas.[8]

The App Store Monster: Apple in 2013 paid developers more than double what it paid out from 2008-2012 combined
Apple on Tuesday redirected some of the tech spotlight away from CES and onto itself when it announced some remarkable numbers regarding the economics of its ever-popular App Store.
Because the App Store is typically associated with low-cost and freemium apps, it's easy to forget the scale to which the App Store is an absolute and unrivaled money-making machine.
To date, Apple has paid out US$15 billion to developers. That's a colossal figure no matter how you look at it, but it's all the more impressive when you consider that more than half of it was paid out in 2013 alone.
In January of 2013, Apple indicated that it had cumulatively paid developers $7 billion. By January of 2014, that figure rose to $15 billion. The takeaway from these figures is astounding: During the last calendar year, Apple more than doubled the cumulative amount paid to developers during the preceding 4.5 years combined.
Analysts can talk all they want about the potential for a slowdown in iOS sales, but it's hard to argue with cold, hard data that makes it abundantly clear that the App Store continues to experience absolutely explosive growth.
From January 2013 to January 2014, Apple paid out $8 billion to developers. That comes out to $21.91 million in developer payouts every single day.
To add some historical context, below is a chart and listing of Apple payouts to developers over time. Note that it took Apple nearly two whole years to reach its first $1 billion threshold.

Four casinos are authorized in three regions: the Albany-Saratoga region, the Catskills and the Southern Tier.
The Catskills attracted the most bidders, with Caesars Entertainment and Foxwoods joining several other groups competing for a license.
Voters endorsed a constitutional amendment permitting the casinos. They're intended to spur upstate tourism and revitalize local communities.

In the shipping business, any strategic plan must include a strong operational focus and, above all else, a comprehensive understanding of — and commitment to — the needs of our customer.
Among the biggest challenges facing our industry today is our ability, or inability as the case may be, to translate the advantages of rapid technological innovation into value-added execution. A strategic vision is useless in the absence of a very robust and real ability to tactically execute on that vision to the satisfaction of our customer.
Turning knowledge and technological innovation into value-added execution is not easy. It requires a clear understanding of the value we bring to our customer's supply chain. Then and only then can we focus our resources on what we call "the business of our business" — aligning the organization around the needs of our customer and relentlessly pursuing excellence within this alignment. Our people, our processes, all of our assets must focus on providing efficient, world-class service at a fair price — on moving freight on time and intact, with total reliability.
The challenges to successful execution and customer satisfaction are many. The value of strategic planning is always measured by how well we operate on a day-to-day basis. Our business operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 52 weeks a year through hurricanes, ice storms and other physical limitations. We are only as good as the last shipment successfully delivered. We are only as strong as our weakest link.
The relentless pursuit of excellence requires that we understand and remain focused on the needs of our customer, on the business of our business. Doing this allows us to implement the right strategies rather than be distracted by the wrong ones.

Rihanna certainly isn't the first celebrity to sport dyed grey hair — Kelly Osbourne's got her beat on that one by a long shot — but she is the latest, and inarguably the most high-profile. RiRi's past beauty ventures, from gravity-defying mohawks and shaved sides with long, side-swept bangs to her signature bold red lip color, have inspired countless copycats, so who's to say her new "ice grey" shade, which she wasted no time in flaunting on Instagram, won't take off just the same? I love a well-executed unnatural hair color, and I think Rihanna's totally pulling this one off … but doesn't she somehow pull everything off?

|When you see geese heading south for the winter flying in a "V" formation, you might be interested in knowing what scientists have discovered about why they fly that way. It has been learned that:
…as each bird flaps its wings, it creates an uplift for the bird immediately following. By flying in a "V" formation, the whole flock adds at least 71% more flying range than if each bird flew on its own.
Basic Truth #1:People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going quicker and easier because they are traveling on the thrust of one another.
…whenever a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to go it alone and quickly gets back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird immediately in front.
Basic Truth #2: There is strength and power and safety in numbers when traveling in the same direction as others with whom we share a common goal.
…when the lead goose gets tired, he/she rotates back in the wing and another goose flies point.
Basic Truth #3: It pays to take turns doing hard jobs.
…the geese honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep up their speed.
Basic Truth #4: We all need to be remembered with active support and praise.
…finally, when a goose gets sick or is wounded and falls out, two geese fall out of formation and follow him/her down to help and protect. They stay with the downed goose until the crisis resolves, and then they launch out on their own or with another formation to catch up with their group.
Basic Truth #5: We must stand by each other in times of need.
We are fortunate that there are more geese in life than turkeys. Let's remember to uphold each other in friendship and in work each day – and to give each other a big "HONK" now and then!

The Broward Young Democrats named Mayor Roy Gold as the Environmentalist of The Year. His son, Michael Gold, received the award on the Mayor's behalf on May 10, 2012. Gold was recognized for his many efforts, alongside other volunteers and City staff, which resulted in over 300 community grants for Broward County cities and neighborhoods, the successful Environmentally Sensitive Land Bond Issue saving four sites totaling over 60 acres, a 10 point Sustainability Index, championed the 2nd LEED Gold certified fire station in the state, an award winning tree planting subsidy program, and a half million dollar master tree planting program for public land. Mayor Gold has also managed the Coral Springs site of the Broward Waterway Cleanup for the past 16 years.
"I'm extremely honored to have received this award from the Broward Young Democrats," Gold said. "Together, we've accomplished so much and yet, I feel like I'm just getting started."

The Optimization That (Often) Isn't: Index Merge Intersection
Prior to version 5.0, MySQL could only use one index per table in a given query without any exceptions; folks that didn't understand this limitation would often have tables with lots of single-column indexes on columns which commonly appeared in their WHERE clauses, and they'd wonder why the EXPLAIN plan for a given SELECT would […]
When is MIN(DATE) != MIN(DATE) ?
Inspiration for this post is courtesy of a friend and former colleague of mine, Greg Youngblood, who pinged me last week with an interesting MySQL puzzle. He was running Percona Server 5.5.21 with a table structure that looks something like this:
CREATE TABLE foo (
id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
uid INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
update_time DATETIME NOT NULL,
INDEX `uid` (uid, update_time),
INDEX `bar` (some_other_columns)
) ENGINE=InnoDB;
When he ran this query:
SELECT MIN(update_time) FROM foo WHERE update_time IS NOT NULL AND update_time <> '0000-00-00 00:00:00';
The result came back as 2012-06-22 10:28:16. […]
Recovery after DROP & CREATE
In a very popular data loss scenario a table is dropped and empty one is created with the same name. This is because mysqldump in many cases generates the "DROP TABLE" instruction before the "CREATE TABLE":
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `actor`;
/*!40101 SET @saved_cs_client = @@character_set_client */;
/*!40101 SET character_set_client = utf8 */;
CREATE TABLE `actor` (
`actor_id` smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`first_name` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
`last_name` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
`last_update` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
PRIMARY KEY (`actor_id`),
KEY `idx_actor_last_name` (`last_name`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=201 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
/*!40101 SET character_set_client = @saved_cs_client */;
If there were no subsequent CREATE TABLE the recovery would be trivial. Index_id of the PRIMARY index of […]

Fenger H.S. student charged with bringing gun to school
BY RUMMANA HUSSAIN Criminal Courts Reporter email@example.com May 30, 2013 1:24PM
Updated: May 30, 2013 7:56PM
A Fenger High School sophomore allegedly brought an unloaded gun to the Far South Side school Wednesday morning.
Antoine D. Rogers walked though the security gate with his backpack on once — but he hesitated when he was asked to walk through a second time, Cook County prosecutors said.
The 16-year-old walked away, allegedly telling school officials he wanted to go home because he had a stomach ache, Assistant State's Attorney Jacqueline Kwilos said at his bond hearing Thursday afternoon.
When a security guard reached into the backpack, she found a .22-caliber gun in Rogers' bag, according to a Chicago Police report.
The teen later made admissions about the weapon in his backpack, Kwilos said.
Judge Israel Desierto ordered Rogers, of the 100 block of 112th Street, held in lieu of $25,000 bond Thursday for unlawful use of a weapon on school grounds.
Fenger High School made national headlines in 2009 when honors student Derrion Albert was beaten to death after he inadvertently walked into a fight between two groups of feuding students near the school.

DAYTON -- Despite big headlines last year about some big companies like Yahoo and HP ending work-from-home policies, it's on the upswing in the U.S. It's estimated that by 2016 the number of employees who work from home at least one day a week will grow by 21 percent.
Tanya Trusty has worked in consumer research for Procter & Gamble for about 15 years. Her job entails trying to understand what the consumer wants and needs from products.
About five years ago, Tanya started working from home one day a week.
"I totally think I get more quality work done because it's without interruption," she says. "You can totally focus."
Gallup's State of the American Workplace shows nearly four in 10 employees spend some amount of time working remotely or in locations apart from their coworkers. The report found remote workers log more hours, and they're slightly more engaged than employees who work onsite.
"The more happy our people are, the longer they'll stay with us, and they're going to be more productive," Procter & Gamble Manager Joanna Zucker says. "The company has long been recognized for its Flex at Work strategy, which allows employees like Tanya to shift hours, share jobs or work at home some of the time."
She admits it does help with the family dinners and being able to help with the family activities.
Career expert Julie Bauke says some in upper management resist telecommuting or the work-from-home trend. Some of the reluctance is the people who used to say everybody shows up at 8 and I didn't say 8:02. But Bauke says the cost savings, technology and younger generations moving into the workforce are making it more acceptable. She and Tanya both agree that it's important for management and employees to recognize who can handle it. It's really important for companies to manage each person in a way they're most productive, observes Bauke. And Tanya adds, you do need to make sure you understand you need to do all your work because it could be easy to get sidetracked -- oh, I have laundry upstairs.
Still, some roles in business can't be played on the homefront. Tanya says she still values her time in the office with co-workers, but she's found a good balance. She says this is a benefit. "One of the benefits that in this part of my life and my career works out perfectly for me, so I very much value that."
Business author Jody Thompson ("Why Work Sucks and How to Fix It") gave us some tips for talking with your manager about working from home. First, talk about the goals of your job and department, discuss accountability, keeping your manager informed about progress and how you would address unforeseen challenges. Then make your case for giving some off-site work a try.

Millman Legislation to Improve Access to Rent Assistance Programs
May 9, 2012
Brooklyn, NY – Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver and Aging Committee Chair Joan announced the approval of a legislative package aimed at improving and increasing access to the Senior Citizen Rent Increase Exemption (SCRIE) and Disabled Rent Increase Exemption (DRIE) Programs. The legislation emerged from Assembly hearings co-chaired by Millman late last year to examine how changes in the administration of the SCRIE program have created unintended consequences for seniors in New York City. Silver noted that the legislation would also provide translation assistance to those with limited English proficiency and additional help for individuals with limitations such as deafness, blindness, a speech impediment, or a cognitive impairment (A.9213/Brook-Krasny). "For low income seniors and individuals with disabilities living on fixed incomes, the SCRIE and DRIE programs offer an extremely important benefit that protects them from being priced out of their neighborhoods," said Silver. "Through the approval of this legislative package we will make necessary improvements to the application process to maintain the programs' effectiveness and ensure eligible seniors and individuals with disabilities can afford to remain in their homes and in their communities." "Transferring the SCRIE program to the New York City Department of Finance has created a situation where applicants are currently waiting more than six months to receive any word on their applications," said Millman. "Flaws in the new application process have prevented eligible seniors and individuals with disabilities from receiving this important benefit and as a result have caused undue financial hardships to many seniors. This legislative package includes provisions that will make sure applications are processed in a timely fashion." Included in the legislative package is a measure (A.9205) sponsored by Assemblywoman Millman, which would require municipalities that have the SCRIE and DRIE programs to conduct outreach in the community to ensure individuals who may be eligible are aware that they can apply for the benefit. The bill improves the application process and makes it more user-friendly by requiring municipalities to implement procedures to ensure the application is reviewed in a timely manner and by requiring a mechanism to be in place that allows applicants to check the status of their applications. Other important reforms included in the legislative package would direct municipalities that administer the SCRIE and DRIE programs to:
- implement a plan to make SCRIE and DRIE application forms more readily available and authorize certain entities to assist in the completion of applications in community settings (A.9204/Lopez); and
- create a system to ensure that DRIE participants are seamlessly transitioned to the SCRIE program once they are eligible for both SCRIE and DRIE (A.9223-A/ Simotas).

The Financial Times Reports on TechnoServe's Work in Latin America
October 17, 2012
The Financial Times highlighted TechnoServe's work in Latin America in a report on development models that support and invest in entrepreneurs in emerging markets.
Business plan competition finalists in Venezuela participate in a TechnoServe training as part of Idea Tu Empresa, a Cargill-supported program that helps entrepreneurs launch businesses.
The Financial Times highlighted TechnoServe's work in Latin America in a report on development models that support and invest in entrepreneurs in emerging markets. The article emphasized the role that programs such as Idea Tu Empresa play in linking entrepreneurs with public and private partners in order to unlock economic opportunities.
In one example, the group is working with Cargill in Venezuela and Foco Sustentable, an entrepreneur development group, on a business plan competition to help entrepreneurs in the seven regions where Cargill operates.
TechnoServe and its local partners work with the potential entrepreneurs to develop effective business plans and Cargill offers them opportunities to participate in its supply chain.
"There's a legacy in certain groups in the region of distrust towards large corporations and toward the financial markets," says Bruce McNamer, TechnoServe president and CEO.
"But, having a mission-based institution bringing together corporations and other market-based mechanisms in order to service the poor can bring all parties together."

JSONP Proxy
This is a tool that you can use to turn a JSON request into a JSONP request.
The reason for this is that you can't make a reuqest from Javascript to a different domain unless you use JSONP, and to do that the web service has to actually return a JSONP response. With this tool you can make a JSONP request to a web service that returns JSON, and get it converted to JSONP.
You use the page http://jsonp.guffa.com/Proxy.ashx to make the request. Put the URL of the web service that you want to call in the url parameter.
Here is an example using jQuery to call a web service:
$.get( "http://jsonp.guffa.com/Proxy.ashx?url=weather.yahooapis.com%2fforecastjson%3fw=2502265", function(data) { alert(data.location.city + ': ' + data.condition.text); }, "jsonp" );
There are some characters that you may need to encode when you put the URL in a parameter. Write slash (/) as %2f and ampersand (&) as %3f. If you have other characters that you wonder about, you can read about URL encoding.
What it does
Basically the proxy only requests the data from the web service, wraps it in a Javascript call, and returns it with a different content type. If the web service for example returns {"status":"ok"}, the proxy will return callback({"status":"ok"});.
What it doesn't do
The proxy doesn't validate the result from the web service in any way, it only wraps it and returns it. If the web service returns garbage, the proxy will return garbage wrappped in a Javascript call.
Additional features
The "http://" protocol part is optional for the URL in the url parameter.
You can specify a callback parameter that will be used as the function name in the JSONP response. (jQuery adds this parameter automatically when you specify the data type "jsonp".) If you don't specify a callback parameter, the default is "callback".
You can specify a type parameter to force the content type of the response. Example: &type=text%2fplain If you don't specify a type parameter, the default is "application/javascript".
If the request to the web service fails, the proxy returns a JSONP result with the status, URL and error message, in the form callback({"status":"error","url":"http://some.com/service","message":"The error message"});.
If you have any questions about this tool, you can mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Current Time
Antigua + Barbuda
Tel: 268 460 4120
Concierge.com's insider take:
One of a three-part Harmony collection (Jamaica's is the best known), this inn is on a 19th-century estate overlooking Nonsuch Bay. It attracts hungry yachters, expats, and day-trippers who come for lunch at the Caribbean-inflected Italian restaurant and bar, housed in an old sugar mill. (Diners are also treated to courtesy snorkeling trips to nearby Green Island, and use of the hotel pool and beach.) Reserve way ahead for one of the six always-booked guest rooms in two villas, which have burnt-orange walls, tile floors, canopied beds, vaulted wooden ceilings, and patios. A renowned gallery with works from Caribbean artists and a gift shop filled with artisan jewelry, handbags, and clothing make this the island's unofficial arts-and-crafts center.

Oak Brook-based McDonald's is switching NBA superstars in its advertising lineup, replacing Kobe Bryant with Yao Ming.
The hamburger giant announced a multi-year endorsement deal Thursday with the seven-foot-five Houston Rockets center. It says his larger-than-life personality and global appeal make the native of Shanghai, China, a perfect fit for the world's largest restaurant company.
Yao says he's been a big fan of McDonald's since the first restaurant opened in China ten years ago. Bryant's once-wholesome image has been damaged since he was accused of sexual assault last year. McDonald's didn't renew his three-year agreement after it expired December 31.
McDonald's executive marketing director Larry Light says Yao will play a key role in McDonald's global marketing plans. Terms of his deal weren't disclosed.
