How soon we forget. - page 9
Seems part of the arguement against Obama's bill is that people are going to be forced to purchase health insurance. Well........why not? A lot of states mandate buying auto insurance. Which one is more important? Doesn't seem... Read More

".............massive influx of patients there may be lower standards of care. 1 family doctor may go from seeing 25 pts a day to 50 patients a day, shortening time with each patient and thus making it harder to supply each person with the undivided attention and customization.............."
Uh, no. There will be more NPs seeing patients, probably taking more time with them and teaching preventive measures to avoid progression of diseases, as they go. The cost of care for nonpaying patients now, is much higher, since they tend to arrive in ERs with advanced illnesses requiring more hospital days more IVs, medications, etc. at far greater cost than the national coverage will allow.
This is what is written in the Reform of Health Care bill:
5The term qualified health benefits plan means a
6health benefits plan that meets the requirements for
7such a plan under title I and includes the public
8 health insurance option."
It seems to me that those who don't like the idea of compulsory healthcare coverage, will imagine all kinds of unrealistic events as a result of it.
Give it some slack, and see how it evolves. It is a huge gift to us, especially as we age and acquire illnesses as a result of that. It's the very rich who will be paying higher taxes to pay for it. They have so many loopholes gaping to avoid paying their taxes now, (many pay nothing as they hedge their money in "foundations", etc.)
that they are panicked over the possibility that their control of where their earnings go, will end when those loopholes are closed, which angers them. The result is
that they are behind a lot of the lies that have spread negative PR for the plan!
President Obama has our interests in mind and is for the average people, which leaves less for the extremely rich ones..... The disparity in earnings can be traced to more money going to those who already have a lot of money. They hire tax avoidance professionals to keep all they have, invest it and make even more, which at this time is hidden in tax deductable assets (corporate planes, vacation homes, questionnablely necessary equipment, luxurious surroundings, etc., etc., etc.).
Gates is the rare exception, building schools for the disadvantaged. However even he has his share of deductable assets.
This is copied from the Reform of Health Care Bill, which shows that the public health insurance option will be in effect for anyone without coverage. This does away with private insurance companies for the uninsured. The opposition to the bill occurred partly because private insurance companies became insecure about whether their stranglehold would lessen when people saw the public option as equal or preferable.....
You can imagine how much less the health care coverage our government provides, will cost taxpayers as it will remove the high cost of health insurance executives'
salaries and bonuses. The payments for health care providers will be limited in the same way Medicare limits charges, and won't allow 20% of doctors' requested charges to be charged to patients.

Admittedly the UK has similar provision in that it doesn't persue the for charge ineligible people for 999 ambulance call and Care while in the Emergency Dept, equally funding is built into the tariffs for these cases , especially where funding is based on per case attendance - as it is in the Emergency Department.
the fundamental issues, which so many people seem blind to are;
- With universal coverage there are no 'can't pay' patients- which means that there is no longer the requirement to build a 'profit' into the fees charged to those who pay themselves ( or who are currently covered by insurers) - which leads to a perception that the state funded care is is paying less than the going rate.
- With universal coverage there is no longer a group of people who are contributing towards care which they cannot receive ( i.e. the majority of the tax paying public at large in the USA )
- With Universal coverage there is less pressure on Emergency Departments to provide Primary care and funding streams to provide Out of hours 'Urgent' Primary care - this does not stop the hospitals from providing that care or providing facilities for that care, this also makes 'signposting' to alternative services to the ED from triage / after an initial practitioner assessment possible.
- With Universal coverage there are / can be incentives for Primary Care Physicians to recruit, retain and promote the health / manage chronic conditions of a patient population, there is also the possibility to incentivise improved access - not only in terms of the length of the working day but also in terms of lead time for appointments.
- There is no explicit requirement to remove the situation in the USA of using 'Other' Specialists to provide primary care ( e.g. the number of US women who regularly see a gynaecologist despite having no particular gynae problem i.e. for general 'women's health' stuff like cervical smears .... although other places do not use specialists for such careinstead Family Physicians with a specialist interest do it in primary care.
-Funding streams for hospitals may be more stable, this however depends on the model used in paying providers, ifit continues to be purely fee for service there will be no change but if the system moves to advanced purchase or services, procedures and bed-days or assured volumes ....

Thank you for your comparative observations, ZippyGBR
I couldn't tell if you're still in GBR or here in the US, and I've been in the US for 55 years, with distant recall of how the single party payor system in Canada (my homeland) began and stories from there that my family tells, of more than adequate coverage and availability of their own doctors.
It seems that things here were allowed to deteriorate drastically before reining in was allowed to proceed. After Hilary Clinton's plan was ribaldly turn down, no one else in politics dared to raise the issue. False
proclamations disclaimed the single payor model. Lack of respect for authority made any replacement of it impossible during her husband's term.
There still exists a rather pioneer attitude in the US of fending for oneself through great effort (the regrettable gun laws) and "if I can do it, anyone can" spirit (hence the reticense to pay for less fortunate others' needs). Also doctors have assumed a martyr attitude that permits them to do outrageous disinterested referral to the ER of anyone who cannot see them by appointment, by not even seeing their patients (except for surgeons) while they are hospitalised.
That causes extensive sometimes 20 hour+ waiting times in ERs with subsequent increase in morbidity and mortality. I myself was brought by ambulance at 4:30 one afternoon, to my community's only hospital, with a repeat gastric hemorrhage, heard the report given to staff and wasn't seen by anyone - not a nurse or doctor, for 4 hours as I drifted in and out of consciousness....... While that went on a radiographic test might have revealed the site of bleeding, but lucky for me, the bleeding slowed, allowing me longer cognitive life, but without specific surgical treatment as an option.
Also the fees charged by physicians have become so outrageously high (which no other country equalled), supported by insurance and pharmaceutical companies' similar abuses, that appropriate fee for services/products has disappeared. Due to fierce lobbying in Washington DC and unending funds for legal representation of hospitals and physicians, little recourse for inappropriate health care providers' actions has been one reason for the acceptance of most people of inferior health care provider service.
This ocurred after malpractise premiums soared in the early '70s, yet I've heard little mention of that since that was all my OB wanted to discuss at my appointments with him, while I was pregnant in 1972-3. What I do hear about, is the closing of doctors' office doors earlier and earlier in the afternoons, and their refusal to take evening and night shifts in their group practises. In other words, if the political party (and those who support it) disagree with their dispensation of health care, they act like spoiled brats! The patients suffer disregard, disrespect, neglect of symptoms, and are secondary to their doctors' needs to live royally.
There is a lot to be said for the Reform/Affordability of Health Care Act, if only that it actually passed! However along that path many compromises to what is actually needed fell by the roadside (such as the national/universal plan's availability for anyone who wanted it). Now that is only there for those who are unemployed or disabled and unable to work, who cannot pay todays inflated premiums.
My hope is that those who seek to be medical students today will enter their
school with the attitude that monetary reward is secondary to the satisfaction of having served their communities well. Certainly they've been warned that "there's no money in it" by today's bunch of materialistic, self interested doctors, so others means of vocational rewards should occur to them.Last edit by lamazeteacher on Feb 10, '11 : Reason: addition, better phrasing, spacing
- 1Feb 14, '11 by newhospicern, BSN, RNDoctors certainly should be compensated for their service to the community, especially considering the kind of money it costs them to become doctors in the first place. People assume doctors are rich- this doesn't happen for upwards of decades in many cases, if it happens at all. Med school is outrageously expensive. There needs to be some return on that investment. (Not to mention the time put into it)
It's not the 'American' way to expect anyone to have a 'capped' income. BUT there are definitely abuses of this philosophy in which Americans pay the price. In many countries, there is a cap a pharmaceutical company can sell a given drug. Does this mean the company doesn't sell or sell less in these countries? No, they sell at the reduced/cap rate just as much of the meds as they sell to us.. only WE pay the difference since they can charge us anything they want. America subsidies medications for many other developed nations.
This is only ONE area where we get the shaft in the medical industry. We also get the shaft from current private insurance companies that can charge us higher fees and offer less coverage, higher co-pays and deductables. These same insurance companies can decided whether or not we get treatment for anything they want basically, and outright refuse coverage to anyone they want.
The system IS broken. All I've seen from the naysayers is "this isn't going to work" or "this won't change that" or "this isn't the answer".. but what I haven't seen from any of them is any other solutions. None. It's also amazing to me that people can see the future and claim to know what is or isn't going to work and what is or isn't going to change since we haven't even begun to TRY this program yet.
I'm so tired of the 'this isn't going to work- and lets just let it stay broken' attitude.

I'm very happy to see your slant on the situation regarding the Reform of Health Care Act! It is seldom that doctors see through the naysayers' hype. It is the wish of those opposing President Obama as President, for various unrelated reasons to discredit programs which have been presented through intensive work by medical and financial experts on respected committees. The fact that the opposers project continuing increases in costs of health care in 10 years, based upon the current place health care is, reflects their expectation that the changes won't occur.
Rapid acceleration of doctors' fees happened when malpractise insurance premiums went ski high, following humungous monetary awards to patients who suffered greatly through neglect, lack of attention to their needs, and faulty communication. What most people don't get, is that lawsuits have to pass through legal procedures that rule out "frivilous" cases. Only those wherein actual damage has occurred will be heard in most courts.
What many physicians haven't appreciated is that they need to sharpen their communication skills and actually listen intently to their patients' perspectives of the care they expect doctors to provide. When a doctor projects a sense of sincere interest and empathy for their patients' unique situations; and describes their plan of care in ways that patients can easily perceive - when they are not in shock over just receiving their diagnosis (no matter how serious/or not), lawsuits seldom happen. Active listening techniques such as repeating what the patient was heard to say, helps.
I cannot understand why it is that doctors lack respect for their patients' rights. An example I can give from my experience, is a physician who was uncomfortable when his patient said in her first trimester that she wanted an abortion if her baby was not "normal". She was 36 years of age and no amniocentesis was done! When her baby arrived with the distinct facial signs of Downs' Syndrome the nurses were flabergasted to hear that doctor say that the baby was perfectly normal! Lying is a "cardinal" sin when relating to patients, and while the lack of the amnio was an "oversight", it certainly didn't cause the genetic deficit. It is doubtful that a court of law would rule against a doctor who upheld laws/their religious beliefs that discourage abortions.
Why that physician didn't truthfully explain why he/she was reticent to have the amnio done, and commiserate with the woman's unwillingness to have a baby with developmental disabilities I'll never know. That communication failure resulted in anguish for that healthcare provider and the patient and her family. He could have discussed his religious aversion to abortions and refer the patient to someone more in tune with that aspect of care. He chose to blame the patient, and ultimately a lot of money was spent on lawyers (who are after all, are the winners in high award cases).
While it is necessary to budget time spent with patients, the way to do that, is to hire a well qualified responsible team member in their offices and delegate such things as H&Ps, schedule surgeries, write/call in prescriptions, and arrange home health services, etc. A "medical assistant" with 3 weeks to 2 months of education in a technical teaching program after high school and little knowledge of essential aspects of patient care, is unable to be that person!Last edit by lamazeteacher on Feb 15, '11 : Reason: various re-phrasing needs and grammatical and typo errors
- 2Feb 15, '11 by Echo_of_FaithI have read through several responses, and am surprised to say how divided even the medical community is on this issue. Both good arguing points to both sides.
Now, we all have an opinion, so....
I think everyone continues to look at this issue (as with many other "big" issues) totally limited to what is on the plate right now. This issue isn't being forced to pay or that being unconstitutional, I mean no one really wants to be forced to do anything. We all want to make decisions for ourselves. While I would never say being made to get health insurance or be fined was constitutional, because let's face it, it's not - the bigger deal is the fact that the government feels its hands are tied (and won't think outside the box). The ER came up alot in responses. People are just not honest, they feel they are hurt and deserve free healthcare at a moment's notice when they come into the ER. The issue isn't whether someone has insurance, it's whether they pay for the service they were given. I have been in the ER a couple of times since I left home, I did not have insurance, but I paid for the services that were charged me. I moaned & complained of the individual billing & the high costs, but it got paid. Hospitals I've been in, spoken with, all seem to be fine in allowing the patient to setup arrangements to pay if uninsured. The chasmic problem is: the number of people who do not pay is so significant it is causing problems. The other side to this is the insurance itself. WHile private companies are private, there has got to be more regulation of rates, what is included in each tier of cost and what is not. It is by far too expensive,especially right now for a family of three to five to spend 700-1000/month for health insurance they probably only use 3-6x/year, mostly on things such as routine visits. The whole system needs an overhaul, not some quick fix to make the government thinks it's actually solving a problem. WE THE PEOPLE are the problem, you guys really have something against the healthcare reform, start making calls not just to the senators & reps in your state, call washington, write speeches and call your local news, post emails to big news media anchors, and start thinking outside the box on ways that will help all the way around. I may be a nurse, but I am still poor when it comes to finances. I do not overspend or overextend my credit, but I barely have enough to get buy. I will not be forced to get health insurance nor will I pay a fine for it, there is another way, a better way & only together as Americans in the HUMAN race will we find it. Unity has been shown in the past to make us stronger, we don't need a war or terrorists or some major trajedy to unite us, we simply should see that we are united in that we are all human and solve not only this problem but the other ones we face as well. While debates are fun & can be constructive & make us think, in reality they leave us no better off than where we began. Debating the issue of something that has already come, and we'll probably see go, doesn't solve anything. So start thinking, find a way to solve the problem for us all.

|New International Version (NIV)
|1 Bilious and bloated, they gas, "God is gone." It's poison gas - they foul themselves, they poison Rivers and skies; thistles are their cash crop.
|1 The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, and their ways are vile; there is no one who does good.
|2 God sticks his head out of heaven. He looks around. He's looking for someone not stupid - one man, even, God-expectant, just one God-ready woman.
|2 God looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.
|3 He comes up empty. A string of zeros. Useless, unshepherded Sheep, taking turns pretending to be Shepherd. The ninety and nine follow the one.
|3 Everyone has turned away, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.
|4 Don't they know anything, all these impostors? Don't they know they can't get away with this, Treating people like a fast-food meal over which they're too busy to pray?
|4 Will the evildoers never learn-- those who devour my people as men eat bread and who do not call on God?
|5 Night is coming for them, and nightmare - a nightmare they'll never wake up from. God will make hash of these squatters, send them packing for good.
|5 There they were, overwhelmed with dread, where there was nothing to dread. God scattered the bones of those who attacked you; you put them to shame, for God despised them.
|6 Is there anyone around to save Israel? God turns life around. Turned-around Jacob skips rope, turned-around Israel sings laughter.
|6 Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When God restores the fortunes of his people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!

Great template! GLWS!
Thank you very much!
Looks great.. GLWS
Thanks MoonStar!
What a gorgeous template! It's my favorite here on Themeforest. Quick question… is there any way to make it so there are no spaces in between the modules? Everything else about it I like except that.
Hi BarbaraD, thank you very much!
Yes, the spaceing between modules can be removed editing the code (is not really hard, but if you don't know how to I will help you with pleasure).

Small Steps, Big Results: Greening the Magnet Lab
By Amy Mast
The Magnet Lab is known for doing things big. Big-name
scientists use big grants to do big research on some of the
world's biggest magnets.
Some things, however, are better small – like trash piles, electric
bills and water usage. From small steps such as recycling to
hugely ambitious ones such as rethinking the design of research
magnets, the lab is working to get the same big scientific
results with a smaller environmental footprint. Many of the lab's
conservation measures share the added advantage of
saving money – another important goal in a research
environment where every dollar matters.
The world's most powerful
magnets naturally require a
lot of, well, power. The lab's
superstar 45-tesla hybrid
magnet, when running at
full field, uses about $27,000
worth of power during a nine-hour
workday. The overall
power bill at the Tallahassee
facility generally runs around
$570,000 per month – about
7 percent of Tallahassee's total power capacity. Over the past
three years the annual bill has been reduced by about $400,000
a year through a combination of simple measures that, when
applied to a facility this size, can really add up.
During this time, the lab:
A lot of the measures we're putting into
place are things we tried before. Maybe
it was a little costly at the time, or we got
too many complaints and we dropped it,"
said Facilities Management Director John
Kynoch. "But during the past couple of
years, gas prices went so high that a lot
of people started thinking about energy
efficiency in more everyday terms, and
revisiting some of those things we'd
initially suggested made more sense.
People are willing to put up with a small
inconvenience here or there if there's a
measurable result."
Kynoch said that once funding is in place, his group also plans
to install water-efficient toilets and lower-wattage (but just as
bright) lighting in office space.
The magnets that eat up the bulk of the lab's energy usage
have a "big three" of support resources: electricity, water and
supercooled liquid helium. Electricity provides power, while
water and liquid helium temper the heat created by all that
energy. These big three come with some big bills; in addition to
that $400,000 monthly electric bill, add in $1.3 million per year in
liquid helium.
There's no way around it – the Magnet Lab uses a lot of water,
about 250,000 gallons on a typical summer day. About 200,000
gallons of that water evaporates in the lab's cooling tower while the
other 50,000 gallons run out of sprinklers and back into the ground.
Kynoch says his team is exploring ways to improve that ratio.
As for helium, while there's a helium recycling system in place,
capturing and reusing a colorless, odorless gas can be a pretty
tricky proposition, one that Kynoch describes as "challenging
and expensive." Helium used to keep the magnets cool heats up
and boils. The boiled-off gas is captured and piped through a
system where it's purified and re-cooled.
Sounds great, but there are three big problems. First, the system
that's in place can't keep up with the amount of helium being
used in the lab's magnets. Second, the system is full of holes –
literally. The pipes that carry helium through the building are
made with PVC and for every leak technicians find and repair,
Kynoch says, several more spring up. Third, helium is a natural
resource, and while it is one of the earth's most plentiful elements,
it must be extracted from natural gas fields and then purified. This
supply won't last forever, so conserving and reusing the helium
the lab buys is the environmentally responsible thing to do.
Kynoch says the lab will eventually purchase a new stainless
steel recovery and purification system. With it in place the lab could go from recovering 30 percent
of its used helium all the way up to 80
percent. Do the math, and that $2.5
million needed to update the system
starts to make a lot of sense. The system
could pay for itself in about two and
a half years. Helium storage is already
improving, with four new tanks capable
of storing the equivalent of 9,812 liters of
liquid helium behind the lab, enough to
power the lab's biggest superconducting
magnet for two months.
The lab's biggest energy monster,
however, is the plain old electricity used
to ramp the magnets up to their superstrong
fields. Last year, DC Program
Director Eric Palm was part of a team
charged with rethinking how the lab
uses energy. Instead of giving magnet
users a limited amount of time to spend
in the experimental "cells" that house
the magnets, the new system allows
more flexible time, but puts users on an
energy budget. Now, scientists have all
the time they need to solve problems or
make repairs during an experiment –
but they have to watch the bottom line
when it comes to energy.
"Many users didn't like the change at
first. In the past, we asked people to be
energy-conscious, but they weren't truly
aware of their contribution to the power
bill, and without things being quantified
it's hard to really see your own impact,"
said Palm. "And the numbers were
astronomical. Somebody sitting at full
field in the hybrid will cost about $3,000
per hour for the energy bill alone."
Palm said because of the energy budget,
people are more aware of how much
energy they are using.
"Like anybody with a budget, you're
really squeezing at the end of the
month, trying to make everything fit," he
said. "People are really thinking ahead of
time and mapping out what they want
to do, and it really has made us partners
in saving energy."
The amount of energy used in a
magnet is proportional to the magnetic
field squared, meaning that conducting
an experiment at 20 tesla uses only
a fourth as much energy as the same
magnet at 40 tesla. With that in mind,
researchers are also being encouraged
to collect data with the minimum
magnetic field needed to get the
results they're after. "Around here,
money-saving and being green can be
the same thing, which is great. This kind
of approach saves us a lot of money
and energy, which we can use for other
things," said Palm.
Another way to conduct leaner, greener
research is to rethink the way magnets
themselves are built. The Series Connected
Hybrid, currently under development by
the Magnet Lab, is one of two ambitious
attempts in that direction.
A key advantage of the new magnet,
which is a hybrid of a resistive and
a superconducting magnet, is that
it will use one-third less power than
traditional all-resistive magnets. That
means experiments can be performed
at lower cost and for longer time frames
than would be the case using existing
all-resistive magnets. Resistive magnets
require both electricity and cooled water
while being used; superconducting
magnets require little or no electrical
power to run once they are brought up
to full field so long as they are cooled
to ultra low temperatures. Eventually,
multiple numbers of such hybrid
systems will increase the number of
experiments that can be carried out at
the lab each year.
Recycling at the Magnet Lab,
2006-2009, in pounds
Even more ambitious are plans to build
a 32-tesla all-superconducting magnet.
New materials have been evaluated and
tested that far exceed the performance
of niobium, the material that has been
used to build most superconducting
magnets up to this point. Niobium-based
superconducting magnets are
limited to a field of about 23.5 tesla.
"The average cost for a resistive magnet
is $774 an hour, and the lab's 20-tesla
superconducting magnets are $18 an
hour," said Tim Murphy, director of the
lab's Millikelvin facility. "Measurements
that require sitting at high fields for
long periods of time would greatly
benefit from a 32-tesla superconducting
magnet, since they could sit at high
fields for days without incurring huge
electrical costs."
There are almost as many different ways
of recycling materials at the Magnet
Lab as there are materials. The
lab's recycling program, in place
for the past three years, now gives
new life to about 65 percent of all
trash leaving the lab.
It takes a lot of packaging to
safely deliver scientific and other
equipment to the lab: The lab recycles 120 pounds
of cardboard each week. Packing peanuts
from deliveries are picked up by
UPS, which reuses them in new
packages. Stations for regular office
paper, plastic, glass and aluminum
are stationed throughout the
building, but the lab also recycles
difficult-to-dispose-of items
such as scientific equipment and
computers. Even wood from
shipping pallets is picked up by
Florida State University and ground
into the mulch that surrounds
campus buildings.
When contracting upgrade
and replacement projects on the lab's
infrastructure, Facilities Engineer Sean
Coyne says that the lab generally
specifies that all recyclable waste
materials from those projects is disposed
of properly. A recent update of the
fire alarm system yielded four tons of
recyclable conduit.
"We recycle the waste metal from the
welding shop and the machine shop as
well. Usually it's lots of small stuff, but
we've recycled as much as 8 tons at
a time," said Coyne.
There's no way around the fact that the
lab uses a lot of energy, but in such a
big place, small changes like the ones
described here really add up over time.
Big steps – such as the 32-tesla all-superconducting
magnet – may take
longer, but when they're successful,
they'll mark a permanent departure from
the old standards of energy use. And
who knows? Maybe some of the material that
magnet technicians use during assembly
of the new magnets will be making its
second trip to the Magnet Lab.

About BB Divers
BB DIVERS five star Padi dive center is an international diving school under Belgian management. Our Koh Kood branch opened in October 2011, but BBdivers have been diving for much longer on Koh Chang. In 2003 Kristel founded the dive centre. She stayed on the island on one of her many travels and fell in love with this great place and its gorgeous surroundings. She decided to turn her biggest hobbies diving and traveling into a successful business. A dream and a great lifestyle came true. BB divers quickly became one of the best diving schools in the area, they have build a great reputation and are known for their professionalism, while offering a relaxed atmosphere to dive and learn diving. The reason why all customers love to come here is because BBdivers has a distinctive style. BB 'divers' are treated as our friends not as a student number...
Since Koh Kood is slowly developing into the new 'tropical get-away' of Thailand, it was a logical step to open the new BB dive center here and expand our diving horizons. We have 2 shops in Koh Kood, the first one is located in Klong Chao, on the main road just next to the bridge over the Klong Chao river. The second shop is on the beach in Bang Bao, in Siam Beach resort.
In 2013 BB Divers opened a new branch on Koh Mak near Monkey Island Resort.
BB Divers Koh Kood
offers every PADI course in the book. We also offer daily fun pes and snorkeling in a relaxed atmosphere and under personal guidance. BB pers gives fair prices, safety and comfort on board, pick-up from hotel, snacks, food and drinks included depending on length of the trip. Our prices also include Padi certification, Padi manual, use of all equipment, licensed pe guide for fun pes, Padi licensed pe instructor for courses.
We sell pe equipment from well-known brands such as Scubapro, Seac sub, Aqualung, Sherwood, Suunto as well as all Padi materials.
In April 2007 BB pers became a "PADI 5 star pe centre", thanks to the effort we putin updating our equipment and keeping up with all the new standards in the ping courses. The quality of the ping course and boat trips is our main priority.
In May 2007 we were awarded a "Reef Check Facility". This because of the effort we make in working with eco minded pers. We train the new "eco pers course" to help and protect the living reef.Next to this we often go out for coral pes which help us map the under water reef.
Since October 2007 we've started with instructor training, or IDC. many of our trainees are now working around the world. We take price in offering a very thorough IDC training, with a very intense preparation for the candidates while not forgetting the fun on the way! BB pers is the first and only pe center to organise IDC on Koh Chang. Our candidates on Koh Kood will enjoy most of the training on this island, but will need to transfer to Koh Chang or the final OWSI and IE. We train our instructor candidates in cooperation with John Bolle, an experienced course Director who runs his own IDC center in Belgium, ref. www.duikpunt.be.

NeoStem Reports Fourth Data Safety Monitoring Board Review Of PreSERVE AMI Trial
NEW YORK, March 17, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NeoStem, Inc. (Nasdaq:NBS) ("NeoStem" or the "Company"), a leader in the emerging cellular therapy industry, today announced that, on March 11, 2014, the Data Safety Monitoring Board ("DSMB") recommended continuing the PreSERVE AMI Phase 2 clinical trial following a fourth interim data and safety review. The PreSERVE trial of AMR-001 is a Phase 2, randomized, placebo controlled, double-blind study designed to enroll 160 patients. AMR-001 is being evaluated for the preservation of heart function after a severe heart attack. Full enrollment has been completed for the trial and data will be available in the second half of 2014.
Dr. Andreas Zeiher, an international expert in the development of cell based therapy for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and principal investigator of a study published last month in the European Heart Journal, demonstrated that administration of autologous bone marrow derived cells expressing the CXCR4 receptor, five to ten days after an AMI, significantly reduces the cumulative incidence of major adverse clinical cardiac events, including death, heart failure and recurrent cardiac ischemia 1. These data further support the ongoing development of NeoStem's lead product candidate, AMR-001, an autologous bone marrow derived CXCR4 expressing cell that was shown in a Phase 1 trial to induce new blood vessel growth and preserve heart muscle function after a severe heart attack.
"We are grateful to the DSMB for their oversight of the study and pleased that the continued patient follow-up has yielded no safety concerns," said Dr. Robin L. Smith, Chairman and CEO of NeoStem. "We are also encouraged by Dr. Zeiher's recent study results which provide further support that the ability of AMR-001 to induce blood vessel growth and preserve heart muscle function will lead to significantly fewer adverse clinical cardiac events."1.

The Mentalist Review: "Red Letter"at . Comments
Since we only have one more episode left until the season is over - we are a little surprised and disappointed that the writers would leave Red John out basically the entire season!
"Red Letter" did not get us any closer into finding out who Red John is and what he wants - and we know we don't stand alone in wanting more! This mysterious psycho/serial killer is what sets The Mentalist apart from other crime scene shows and one of the main reasons why we love it! So our question is why?
This week we definitely could have gone for something that teased us about Red John, but there wasn't even a mention of him. From the previews, we know that finally we will get a meeting with him, but what gives!?
Other then being annoyed by how this ended played out, we were a bit confused why Russell would pretend that Hector slept with his own daughter! That is just gross and couldn't he just as easily blackmailed Hector with any old prostitute action? Why did he have to take the incestuous route?
Bringing Kristina again in as a romantic interest for Jane was interesting, but we still like the idea of having Jane and Lisbon hook up. What do you think? Are you team Kristina or team Lisbon?
All in all we weren't too impressed with this week's episode and if anything we confused by the new character's involvement - mainly the leader of the coalition. He was a bad guy, yet Jane knew in a moment that he wasn't the killer. Very strange.
If anything, we've been looking forward to this year's season finale ALL season long!
What did you think of last night's episode? Did you love it or were you also bored/confused by it? Leave your thoughts below!
Follow the jump to read a few of our favorite The Mentalist quotes! And let us know if we missed any!
Jane: Kristina, that's with a K right? Wanna grab some coffee? | permalink
Jane: Well I guess I have no choice, but to bring you along with me.
Kristina: You think you manipulated me into coming with you.
Jane: No I don't. I think you manipulated me into thinking I manipulated you into coming with me. | permalink
Hightower: She likes you.
Jane: What?
Hightower: The blonde one and you like her. | permalink
Jane: Thank you for your tea - very tasty. | permalink
Ilsa: I'm really not big on this type of thing.
Jane: Neither am I. | permalink
THis show sucks
I Hate kristina she sucks, i like jane riding solo. wtf im team nobody i dont want jane getting involved in lurve i like that all of u agree with me, i want her killed by red john.....or is she red john?
I don't like Kristina either...but I'll be darned if I let that psycho ***** keep me from seeing Simon Baker every week! I think there's something sinister about her underneath, and it'll be great watching Patrick discover it. After all, he had a thing for that "psycho mom" during the first who turned out to be a money-grubbing shrew who just wanted money, or diamonds as the case may be. And I agree with Julie BTW.
Team Lisbon all the way!! Kristina Frye is a freak! Some of the best scenes in the show are between Jane an Lisbon.
Can I shoot for the question of who Red John is? Let me try; it is their former boss. What was his name? And I like this Red Letter episode, btw. Frye is a very lovely character, maybe her play from season.1 of 24 is shadowing my judgement, I dont know.
Why isn't Rigsby's character on the cast list?
Team Lisbon or Team Kristina? Seriously? Is that even a question? For clarity, Team Lisbon! Really the whole 'flirtaion' (if it can even be classified as such) was forced and vomit inducing. That one scene with Lisbon at the bar had more chemistry than an entire season of forced conversation between Kristina and Jane ever would (heaven forbid we would ever be put through that). I'm hoping that Krisina is a sacrificial lamb for Red John or gets so scared she runs far away, or Jane pushes her away after seeing that Red John will go after anyone he gets close to. It'll probably end up being the latter but honestly, as long as Kristina goes away and doesn't return until 2-3 seasons later, I think I can speak for most of the viewers when I say that would make us very, very happy.
wanna know Bruno and the other writers could see our comments. 100% agree with Alex!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Team Lisbon, no doubts! About Red Letter now.
Number one, this episode was terrible disappointing. Poor writing, the case was weak and the Jane/Frye thing was extremely awkward. I really didn't buy it, they just tried to put it down our throats and want us to enjoy it. Too bad, coz I didn't. Number two, I don't think is time to Jane to "move on� yet, even with Lisbon, or at least they could gave us some hints before this episode, that's was completely OCC for me. And the Hightower line was even more OCC. I almost doubt that was watching The Mentalist and that was Jane on the screen, it was like I was reading a poor fanfiction. And number three, I can't stand Frye. I tried, I swear, but I failed so bad. Nothing against Leslie Hope, she's good, but her character is just "urghhh�. I hope they don't bring her back next season or I'll have to stop watching the show. The best thing in this episode so far was the Jane/Lisbon bar scene, it was incredible funny. I love the faces Lisbon makes, she's awesome! And their interaction and chemistry is what makes the show so great for me, no reason to put this b****-psych to sour things between them. Anyway, this season was so great at the beginning, especially with Red Badge and His Red Right Hand, but is getting boring and silly. I don't see any characters development for a long time and Jane seems to be the only "useful� member of the team now, they're shrinking the other characters that I love so much, as Lisbon and Cho. Months ago I was all for season two, but now I have to say that season one was way better. BTW, I still don't like Hightower and can't believe that the Bosco storyline is just over with no more explanations. Instead of bringing Frye for this silly and awkward romance stuff they should explain things, like what Bosco really said to Jane before he died. I hope the season finale will be great, even with Frye making it harder for me to watch. When the next season begins that will be just two options for me:
No more Frye or No more The Mentalist I so hope it'll be the first one. I don't wanna lose this show coz I used to love it, but they're losing me already, unfortunately.
Team Lisbon all the way. I still can't believe what I saw. I didn't see any so called "romantic sparks" between Jane and Frye, yes I think he is intrigued by her but I can't see why he would date such a cold-hearted woman (in season 1 she admitted she slept with the spouse of her client because "it was fun", plus she earns money with lying to be a psychic- something I thought Jane totally hated). People who think Frye is good for Jane obviously neither understood Jane's character nor the whole show. Also I was confused with Hightower, seriously she's his boss. She shouldn't give him "dating advice", she doesn't even know Jane. It would have made more sense if someone of the team would have talked to him about that. And last but not least, I watch for the whole Jane/Lisbon interaction, I don't need them together but their banter is what makes the show enjoyable. The writers need to bring it back and stop hitting us over the head with the whole "He's ready to date" thing. Lisbon and Jane had so much more chemistry in the little bar scene than Jane and Frye had the entire episode.

HP 4850 Scanjet Windows 7 drivers still not available.
Posted in wrong spot and moved here 1/6/10
I have a new HP e9260f with an older but perfectly ok Scanjet 4850. The Image Zone 5.3 software will not load on Windows. The 4850 driver does not work although the windows basic driver seems to be ok. Is there an upgrade available for the Image Zone software and a specifice Windows 7 driver for the 4850?
Update: Online support said HP is working on this issue and drivers will be available "soon". I'm a bit surprised that it takes this long. I don't have a legacy scanner and W7 has been available, at least in Beta form, for more than a year. I hope the automatic HP notification system works.
This question was solved. View Solution.
Re: HP 4850 Scanjet Windows 7 drivers still not available. - FIXED
This is now fixed. Thanks HP. Here is their email response...
Hello Phil,
Thank you for contacting Hewlett-Packard's Commercial Solutions Center.
From the details provided in your e-mail, I understand that you want to install the full software for your HP Scanjet 4850 Photo Scanner works with Windows 7 Operating System.
I understand how upsetting this could be, let me straighten this for you right away.
Phil, at present there is no particular software for your scanner works with Windows 7 Operating System. However, as a workaround you may try downloading Vista software and then change then compatibility mode to Vista and then install the software in Windows 7 Operating System.
I suggest that you follow the below steps to install the full software in Windows 7 Operating System:
1. Please click on the below link to download the full software:
Please click on the above link and then Save it on Desktop.
2. Once it gets saved on desktop, please right click on the Setup_full_4800.exe file and then click on Properties.
3. Click on Compatibility mode.
4. Give check mark for "Run this program in compatibility mode for" and then select Vista.
5. Click on Apply and then Ok.
6. Install the Setup_full_4800.exe file on your computer works with Windows 7 Operating System.
Once you have installed the scanner software in Windows 7 Operating System, please try scan from HP Solution Center and then let us know the results.
Re: HP 4850 Scanjet Windows 7 drivers still not available. - FIXED
Is this also valid for Scanjet 4300C? Or is there another download available?
Re: HP 4850 Scanjet Windows 7 drivers still not available. - FIXED
Win 7 has been out for quite a while now - when is HP going to release a version of Solution Center that is compatible with Win 7?
Re: HP 4850 Scanjet Windows 7 drivers still not available. - FIXED
The updated software for all of the Scanjets that are slated for Win 7 support has been posted. Please go to www.hp.com and click on Support and Drivers, then choose Download drivers and software (and firmware), type in your product name and click on Go. That should take you to a page with all the supported operating systems listed. If Win 7 is listed you're in luck if not..... unfortunately your scanner will not be supported in Win 7
Here's the support page for the 4850 -
Scanjet 4850 Software and Drivers Page
Re: HP 4850 Scanjet Windows 7 drivers still not available. - FIXED
Not fixed
Tried this.
Downloaded as instructed to desktop
Selected Vista (Rather that Vista SP2)
Tried to install
Refused to install
'The operating systen on this computer is not supported'
System is MS Windows 7
Need a staightforward Windows 7 version of Solution Centre
When will this be available
Re: HP 4850 Scanjet Windows 7 drivers still not available.
This worked for me on my Windows 7 (64-bit) ASUS A80/81 laptop.
My scanner is the HP ScanJet 4850.
First I had to clean up previous install attempts made from the original 4850 CD.
Then I followed HP's directions as listed in quiller's post but saved the downloaded file (full version) to my Downloads folder in case I had to run it more than once or again in the future.
Before running the file I changed the Compatibility to VISTA (not SP1 or SP2) and then went back and right-clicked on it to "Run as Administrator".
First time was a charm!
But I have to agree with others ... with Windows 7 now being the predominate OS, HP should be releasing Windows 7 software and drivers for their legacy hardware.
Re: HP 4850 Scanjet Windows 7 drivers still not available. - FIXED
I've not tried quiller's solution yet - but I will.
Like many users, I have been patiently waiting for HP to provide a full scanning app for the 4850 when connected to a PC running Win 7, since November last year.
Fortunately my 64-bit Win 7 OS is the professional edition, so I have set up Virtual XP mode on it and have been running the 4850 without any problems with the XP version of HP Solution Centre running under Virtual XP.
If you have not used Virtual XP under Win 7, it's worth a try. (Assuming you have the Professional edition). However, one 'downside' to it is that you have to load / run a separate AV software suite from the one you use with Win 7. (I checked this out with Kaspersky, since I run KIS and they confirmed that the version I have running under Win 7 will not provide full protection when running in XP Mode.)
Re: HP 4850 Scanjet Windows 7 drivers still not available.
I am also trying to run the 4850 on new hp pc win 7. HP phone support downloaded drivers for my 7310 All In One printer and then the driver for the scanjet 4850. I finally got the printer to work and the Solutions center to appear by uninstalling and then reinstalling the driver that I had saved and then saved to disc. But now I cannot uninstal the driver for the 4850 it is not listed in the uninstal/change list. I believe it is wound up in the printer Solutions area. If I uninstall that I will lose the All in One I think. Come to think of it I did do that and it did not go away!!! I would like to try the vista install mentioned here. But I know I have to get rid of that driver download first. Can someone tell me if I am on the right track and tell me how to do it. Could it be under a different name that I am not recognizing? Do you think I can have both of these items installed at the same time or will they not work correctly. The driver is an icon on my desktop right now. I have looked in properties but that does not give me a clue as to where it might be. Also can't find it listed in programs.
Re: HP 4850 Scanjet Windows 7 drivers still not available.
I tried this and got the scanner to scan. But I can't get the Image Zone to work. Any advice?

|U.S. House, Connecticut, District 5
|Prior offices
|Connecticut House of Representatives, representing the 103rd District
|Campaign website
Esty previously served in the Connecticut House of Representatives from 2009-2011.[2] Esty has been a law clerk for a federal judge, private attorney, and Professor at American University.
She is a member of the Cheshire Public Library Board, Legal Advisor to the Connecticut League of Women Voters Consensus Project, Chair of the Board of Trustees for the First Congregational Cheshire, lay member of the Committee on Ministry New Haven Association of the United Church of Christ, and a member of the Parent-Teacher Association.[3]
Committee assignments
While a member of the Connecticut House of Representatives, Esty served on the following committees.
Esty is running in the 2012 election for the U.S. House, representing Connecticut's 5th District. Esty won the nomination on the Democratic ticket.[4] [5] The signature filing deadline was June 12, 2012. The primary date was August 14, 2012. Esty defeated Christopher Donovan and Dan Roberti in the Democratic primary.[1]
Following the Democratic primary on August 14, 2012 in which Esty defeated Christopher Donovan, the endorsed candidate of the Democratic party, discussion speculated on whether Donovan would choose to still run against Esty in the general election as the Working Families Party nominee.[6] However, in late August 2012 discussion began between Donovan, Esty, and the Working Families Party over whether Esty might pick up the nomination of the party, preventing division amongst the Democratic party that might give way to a win by Republican nominee Andrew Roraback in the general election.
While Donovan was endorsed by the Democratic party and was the frontrunner for most of the campaign, an investigation by the FBI closer to the primary hurt his chances in the primary. Two of Donovan's staff members were among eight people arrested and were immediately fired and replaced after a sting operation by the FBI in which the staffers were allegedly accepting campaign contributions from straw donors.[6] Although Donovan was not implicated and an investigation paid for by the campaign cleared him of having any knowledge of wrongdoing, it was enough to derail his campaign.[6]
In August 2012 Esty received endorsements from the Connecticut AFL-CIO and Governor Dan Malloy (D).[7]
Esty ran for re-election to the 103rd District seat in 2010. She was defeated by Al Adinolfi (R) in the November 2 general election.
On November 4, 2008, Esty won election to the Connecticut House of Representatives from Connecticut's 103rd District, defeating Al Adinolfi (R). Esty received 6,088 votes in the election while Adinolfi received 5,867 votes.[8] Esty raised $30,525 for her campaign; Adinolfi raised $30,000.[9]

1st International Workshop on Semantic Publication (SePublica 2011) http://sepublica.mywikipaper.org at the 8th Extended Semantic Web Conference (ESWC 2011) http://www.eswc2011.org May 29th or 30th, Hersonissos, Crete, Greece Keynote by Steve Pettifer, Manchester University, UK. ŌĆ£Utopia Documents and The Semantic Biochemical Journal experimentŌĆØ SUBMISSION DEADLINE February 28 ELSEVIER BEST SEMANTIC PAPER AWARD The Best Paper Award is presented to the author(s) deemed to have written the paper covering the most innovative and feasible proposal concerning semantic publishing in the workshop. All submissions to the SePublica workshop will be considered, and a panel of experts will rate the papers according to originality of the idea, feasibility and presentation. The Best Paper award is sponsored by Elsevier as an incentive for researchers working on defining the next generation of scientific publishing concepts. ┬ĀThe Best Paper Award will be handed out at the end of the SePublica workshop. ŌĆó As a cash prize, the Best Paper Award will receive: US$ 750 ŌĆó The runner-up will be awarded a prize of US$ 250. The MISSION of the SePublica workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners dealing with different aspects of Semantic Technologies in the Publishing Industry. How is the Semantic Web impacting the publishing industry? How is our experience of publications changing because of Semantic Web technologies being applied to the publishing industry? The CHALLENGE of the Semantic Web is to allow the Web to move from a dissemination platform to an interactive platform for networked information. The Semantic Web promises to ŌĆ£fundamentally change our experience of the WebŌĆØ. In spite of improvements in the distribution, accessibility and retrieval of information, little has changed in the publishing industry so far. The Web has succeeded as a dissemination platform for scientific and non-scientific papers, news, and communication in general; however, most of that information remains locked up in discrete documents, which are poorly interconnected to one another and to the Web. The connectivity tissues provided by RDF technology and the Social Web have barely made an impact on scientific communication nor on ebook publishing, neither on the format of publications, nor on repositories and digital libraries. The worst problem is in accessing and reusing the computable data which the literature represents and describes. ŌĆó Consider research publications: Data sets and code are essential elements of data intensive research, but these are absent when the research is recorded and preserved in perpetuity by way of a scholarly journal article. ŌĆó Or consider news reports: Governments increasingly make public sector information available on the Web, and reporters use it, but news reports very rarely contain fine-grained links to such data sources. QUESTIONS AND TOPICS OF INTEREST ŌĆó What does a network of truly interconnected papers look like? How could interoperability across documents be enabled? ŌĆó How could concept-centric social networks emerge? ŌĆó Are blogs and wikis new means for scholarly communication? ŌĆó What lessons can be learned from humanities and social science publishers (i.e. going beyond scientific publishing towards scholarly publishing)? ŌĆó How could we move beyond the PDF? How can we embed and link semantics in EPUB and other e-book formats? ŌĆó How are digital libraries related to semantic e-science? What is the relationship between a paper and its digital library? ŌĆó How could we realize a paper with an API? How could we have a paper as a database, as a knowledge base? ŌĆó How is the paper an interface, gateway, to the web of data? How could such and interface be delivered in a contextual manner? ŌĆó How could RDF(a) and ontologies be used to represent the knowledge encoded in scientific documents and in general-interest media publications? ŌĆó What ontologies do we need for representing structural elements in a document? ŌĆó How can we capture the semantics of rhetorical structures in scholarly communication, and of ┬Āhypotheses and scientific evidence? AUDIENCE ŌĆó researchers from diverse backgrounds such as argumentative structures, scholarly communication, multi-modality in publications, digital libraries, semantics in publications, and ontology engineers. ŌĆó practitioners active in the publishing industry, repositories of experimental information and document standards. IMPORTANT DATES Paper/Demo Submission Deadline: February 28, 23:59 Hawaii Time Acceptance Notification: April 1 Camera Ready Version: April 15 SePublica Workshop: May 29 or May 30 (to be announced) SUBMISSION AND PROCEEDINGS Research papers are limited to 12 pages and position papers to 5 pages. For system descriptions, a 5 page paper should be submitted. All papers and system descriptions should be formatted according to the LNCS format http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0 We encourage the submission of semantic documents. LaTeX documents in the LNCS format can, e.g., be annotated using SALT (http://salt.semanticauthoring.org) or sTeX (http://trac.kwarc.info/sTeX/). We also invite submissions in XHTML+RDFa or in the format or YOUR semantic publishing tool. However, to ensure a fair review procedure, authors must additionally export them to PDF. ┬ĀFor submissions that are not in the LNCS PDF format, 400 words count as one page. Submissions that exceed the page limit will be rejected without review. Depending on the number and quality of submissions, authors might be invited to present their papers during a poster session. Please submit your paper via EasyChair at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sepublica2011 The author list does not need to be anonymized, as we do not have a double-blind review process in place. Submissions will be peer reviewed by three independent reviewers. Accepted papers have to be presented at the workshop (requires registering for the ESWC conference and the workshop) and will be included in the workshop proceedings that are published online at CEUR-WS.
