PLDP Executive Council
The Physician Leadership Development Program (PLDP) is a unique composition of five years of dual-degree students committed to leadership in health care. The PLDP Executive Council was initiated by students to integrate their skills and interests as well as to collaborate to promote their professional, academic and leadership development.
Embracing the unique opportunities and increased responsibilities of students bridging the institutions in which we learn, our goal is to develop formal networks through communication and collaboration among students in the Physician Leadership Development Program providing a representative presence and influential voice within the Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine; the Center for Global Health; the WSU Graduate School; and into the greater community.
Executive Council
PLDP Executive Council officers are:
Questions about the PLDP program may be directed to the current PLDP Executive Council. We are happy to share our experiences with the PLDP program.
Program Accomplishments
Guest lecture series
Aurora Lambert: December 8, 2010
Ms. Lambert, former president and chief executive officer of the Jewish Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio, visited Wright State University to discuss her experience with current students. As a senior executive officer for the former Health Alliance of Greater Cincinnati, her input was invaluable in facilitating the transition of the Jewish Hospital from the Health Alliance to Mercy Health Partners. Ms. Lambert's impressive career has spanned nearly four decades. Her insight into the current and future state of health care today provided medical students a unique glimpse into what their future careers may hold.
Dr. Brett Smith: May 18, 2011
Dr. Brett Smith discussed his thoughts on social entrepreneurship and health. Dr. Smith, founder of the Center for Social Entrepreneurship at Miami University, is an expert in the role of social entrepreneurs in global health initiatives. He has a business background and a passion for social justice. He travels the world meeting with and talking to people about innovative solutions to persistent social problems (hunger, poverty, education) that create social value through sustainable, systemic change.
Celebrating Life and Health Fair
Every spring, the PLDP sponsors and runs an interactive booth at the Dayton Celebrating Life and Health Fair. PLDP students measure height and weight, in order to calculate the BMI of fair attendees. Over 5,000 Dayton residents attend the health fair each year.
Children's Health Festival
Every August, the PLDP sponsors and runs an interactive booth at the Children's Health Festival. Over 600 children attend the event to learn about nutrition, physical activity, and safety.
Documentary Screenings
The Weight of the Nation – May 10, 14, 17, & 21, 2012
The PLDP hosted a series of screenings of the HBO four-part documentary series. The miniseries examined Consequences, Choices, Children in Crisis and Challenges. Each segment of the film featured case studies, interviews with experts around the nation, and individuals and families struggling with obesity. After each screening, a panel of local experts offered their views on the content and fielded questions about the movie.
Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare – September 19, 2012
An estimated 140 students, faculty, healthcare professionals and community members attended an advance screening of the Sundance film ESCAPE FIRE: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare. WSU Boonshoft School of Medicine Physician Leadership Development Program, the WSU Chapter of the American Medical Association, the WSU chapter of the American Medical Student Association and the Military Medical Interest Group hosted the screening.
Two medical students led a facilitated discussion with the audience following the film. The directors hoped to compel Americans to empower themselves to be healthier, even before they become ill. The local Call to Action was "Empower someone to be healthy." The STEPS Initiative was introduced as one avenue to address the call to action. The STEPS Initiative is a multi-disciplinary group of healthcare professionals and students that use motivational interviewing to encourage individuals with chronic conditions (diabetes, high blood pressure, etc.) to make healthier lifestyle choices by setting attainable goals. For more information about the STEPS Initiative please visit: http://www.highimpactprojects.org/stepsclinic.html.
PLDP Activities
Leadership Elective
In 2011, faculty and students recognized that the PLDP concepts of physician leadership and healthcare management should be adopted into the traditional medical school curriculum. A group of fourth-year PLDP students, in collaboration with faculty, developed a healthcare leadership elective course to achieve the goals of:
- increasing understanding of the U.S. healthcare system,
- engaging in self-assessment and self-awareness of leadership characteristics,
- increasing inter-professional communication, and
- practicing healthcare leadership decision-making.
- These objectives were achieved through a monthly seminar class offered to medical students in the second semester of their first year of school; a fourth-year student facilitated each session.
- The course utilized online leadership self-assessment tools, online modules from the Institute for Healthcare Improvement and readings from various medical and leadership publications. Group exercises and interactive discussions with local community physician and healthcare management leaders introduced students to leadership principles and increased awareness of the challenges and opportunities that exist in leading U.S. healthcare organizations.
- This student-led Healthcare Leadership elective remains a key aspect of the Physician Leadership Development Program because it represents another avenue in which PLDP students maintain an active role in both curriculum and community development.
Leadership Conference
- During fall term 2012, PLDP students organized a Leadership Conference for medical students. All medical students were invited to attend, but a strong emphasis was placed on first- and second-year students.
The first annual conference had one keynote speaker (Dr. Arthur Pickoff), and five small group sessions with the opportunity to choose from seven different topics. Topics included:
- Words of Wisdom without the Sugar
- Finding Research Projects
- Quality in Health Care and Unique Career Trajectories
- How to Be a Clinical Leader
- Balancing Career and Life
- Unique Internship and Leadership Opportunities
- Academic Medicine and Leadership
- Building Your Leadership Portfolio
- The conference was attended by 42 students with warm reviews and suggestions for next year's event.
The second annual conference was held on Sept. 28, 2013. The conference featured keynote speaker Dr. Alexander Djuricich of the Indiana University School of Medicine. Conference attendees rotated through two large group sessions and four small group sessions. The two large group sessions were led by Dr. Karen Kirkham and Dr. Gregory Toussaint. Attendees were able to select from the following topics for their four small group sessions:
- Women in Medicine
- Leadership in Medicine
- Remaining Compassionate
- Dilemmas in Medicine
- Blended Careers
- Balancing Life and Career
- Words of Wisdom (WoW)
- Finding Research Projects
- Unique Internships and Leadership Opportunities
- International Medicine
- Rural Medicine
- What Residency Programs Want
- Finding Your Mentor
- Social Media
- Leadership in Medical Education
- The conference was attended by 42 students with positive reviews from both students and physicians.
Boonshoft for Healthcare Improvement (BHI)
- PLDP alumni Colleen McCormick, M.D., M.P.H., and Lakshman Swamy, M.D., M.B.A., established a local chapter of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) Open School in 2011. The chapter supports students of all health professions in learning about health care quality and patient safety. BHI encourages medical students to participate in the IHI coursework and student training conferences, and provides the tools to facilitate student-initiated quality improvement projects in the Dayton community. The courses are also accessible free-of-charge to interested students, residents, and faculty physicians who are not members of BHI.

cars_2009 5pts I've sold cars for Audi, Lexus, Infiniti and Acura. I can tell you from feedback from real life potential buyers, i.e. people who not only buy the vehicles but people who don't buy the vehicles after trying them out, MT has it all wrong. Forget about measuring success by the numbers. The Infiniti has Trace Control which breaks the inside brakes while cornering which helps the average Joe corner better than he normally would be able to corner. The Infiniti and Lexus are better cars in the awd versions. The test were conducted with RWD except for the A6 Audi. Believe it or not, only about 5% of the people really know how to drive these cars. Believe me, I've ridden with the other 95%. And therefore most people would benefit greatly by the awd systems in all these cars. The Infiniti is the only one of the bunch that allows its awd system to drive one axle 100% at level freeway speeds. The other do some form of 70-30% or 80-20% split. The Infiniti M37 has secondary controls for operating its systems on the dash. The others are tied to a centralized computer and if the computer goes down, nothing works. The Lexus is mundane as it gets. It's alright if you are a female trying to impress your girlfriends. Love that soft cushy ride and quietness of the engine they will think. But for handling, immediate power, aggressive sound, the Lexus GS Fsport is last in this league. And what's up with that grille? Lexus calls it the spindle look. Isn't that what Goldielocks had to spin straw into gold? So, besides the goldplatted straw, the GS will put you to sleep. It's boring, boring, boring.The BMW is a nice car and I have not sold it so I won't pass along my personal opinion or my buyer's opinions about it other than to say, you see one BMW and you've seen them all. I have taken a lot of them in on trades though and they don't hold their value. The Audi A6 is a okay. Not great, but okay. That pop-up screen it ridiculously stupid. Just another thing to break on an Audi which has many things to break. And, what's up with all the dials having to turn left to go down? Every other vehicle has dials turning right to go down. And those buttons around the center dial. What idiot put that logic together? They have google mapping and a SIM card for WI-FI hotspot, but you can expect to pay $33/mo after the first year. Really? For a hotspot? The Acura RLX is not listed here and I don't believe it's quite comparable to the other four, but the older RL (2009 -2013) was in my opinion the most underrated midsize luxury sedan sold in the US. It's a great pre-owned vehicle to pick up and own.In my opinion, the Infiniti M37 awd is the vehicle to own.
Dyeyk 5pts Before buying, I spent hours reading up everything online about the A6, 535i, E350 and GS 350. From this, I drew a comparative matrix of key differentiators that appealed to me most ranging from performance to functional specifications, interior and exterior design features, and build quality, among other things. Then, I spent 4 Sundays personally test-driving these cars in freeways and surface roads over and over again with different dealerships in SoCal. I bought the car that met my expectations - a car that's a joy to drive, aesthetically modern and handsome, and packed with the right features that will help me get to places safely in comfort and style.I waited 7 months and over 5,000 miles (mileage is low only because I own 3 other cars I needed to drive) to post anything here to see if I will find anything I don't like with the car or if the engaging driving experience will dissipate which I want to share with you ... nothing has changed - my GS 350 F Sport is just really fun to drive, and all my kins and friends who have driven it think it's awesome.I just think MT was spot on in this review, they know cars
cinas02 5pts As much as I like the performance of German cars, their lasting quality is a concern. When you pay this much for a car you don't expect to be sitting on the side of the freeway waiting for a tow. Lexus is the most reliable car made, and now in addition to quality they have delivered performance. My GS 350 may not look fresh and contemporary years from purchase, but it will still be driving problem-free.
TheClassicCarFactory 5pts The BMW 535i - no matter the generation - has always been an incredible car incorporating the best of what BMW offers: great handling, great style, great performance and in a civilized size. This one is no exception. Years from purchase, the "fashionable styling" of the Lexus will relegate it to seeming old - while the more conservative BMW will still look fresh and contemporary.
cinas02 5pts I've had my GS 350 for a month now and must say the looks are beginning to grow on me. It's a very classy car. The tactile experience is incredibly luxurious. The seats are the most comfortable I've experienced. And like the authors, I love the driving experience. I chose this as my retirement car and couldn't be happier.
Harvey Sherman 5pts I drove the Acura RLX today. It's the worst of the group. Bad navigation system. Who thought of two screens in the car?
canuckshark 5pts I am really surprised the BMW beat Audi in this comparison. I can see why the Lexus came in first - pure drivers car. Very much like the E60 I owned previously. My current car is the F10 535 and I can vouch for the fact it is a little bit of a boat compared to my previous E50 535 (the one Lexus emulated). Having said all that, maybe it is because I am getting older, but the blend of comfort and performance is just perfect for me. Plus I believe the 5 with the M-sport package is the best looking of the lot. Of course I am biased :)
GT-KMW 5pts Is no one going to mention the fact that every other car, save for the BMW, came with Max Performance Summer tires as opposed to Gran Touring Performance tires on the 535? Despite that, it was still very competitive with cars that posted higher numbers. I'm sure the BMW could match the Lexus around the slolem if you simply got tired compound parity.
Mark Ross 5pts I drove them all in the past month. A6, 535i, E550, GS350, M37, Cadillac XTS (big disapointment) and this article has it all wrong. I've driven two different BMW 550i's for the past 7 years and although my instinct was to stick with the BMW, I chose the Audi A6. Where the experts say the BMW is designed for the driver and the Merc is designed for the passenger, the new A6 is the best of both worlds. Tons of power, handling and luxury. The interior just can't be beat although I admit the seats could be a bit plusher. Plus the price beats the its German competition although not quite where the Japanese brotherern lie. Audi has really kicked up every detail of their design and in my humble opinion, wins this contest hands down. I would say the BMW next, then the Infinity and te Lexus comes in last. The Lexus had no power off the line although it felt more confident at freeway speeds and I didn't get the handling feel that the reviewers gave it.
L-Finesseness 5pts @ne1butuYou couldn't be more wrong. It does that for all cars; when they're mentioned as keywords in the article you're reading, the ads of that keyword are pulled up. If you read an article that says something about Chevrolet, you'll Chevrolet ads. If you're on a website that is talking about steak, you'll get ads about steak. Toyota isn't bribing Motor Trend; if you read the article, you could see why they chose the GS.
DRII 5pts Okay... i thought this was Motor Trend I was reading. I'm getting a little sick of the hyper subjective criteria of 'fun to drive' dominating when comparing the various aspects of these automobiles! If I wanted a mid-life crisis, I want to remember how i felt in High School or wish i felt like in High School, point of view -- and my car should bring about this euphoria; I would read car and driver. Now don't get me wrong, I also don't want a mundane statistical quantitative break down ala Consumer Reports type of evaluation. I've also found that Motor Trend captured a happy medium; but not of late!
mcjats 5pts Never thought I would see MT choose anything over a BMW. Could it be an editing error? It seems any time there is a BMW in any comparison, it is automatically assigned to the top spot.I am disappointed in where the Audi was placed. 3rd, really? Perhaps the MT boys need more therapy...
ne1butu 5pts As I'm writing this, Lexus GS banners are plastered all over the MT site. It's clever how the obvious winner lands two notches behind the Lexus, simply to distract from the idiocy of the authors logic and the results. The reality is that, once the launch of the new GS has past, and Toyota ad dollars are directed to another car, this GS will be about as successful as the previous GS's. That is to say, it'll be ignored by just about everyone.
noplans 5pts I'm with Twisted Wankel. It's fun to read about these cars, but does anyone actually buy one for any reason other than to impress that cheerleader who dissed them in high school? How many readers have actually put their cars through a competition quarter mile or any other real race? For 99.8% of the people who buy these cars, you could put these bodies on a mini-van chassis and they wouldn't notice the difference.Again, fun to read, but in the real world, I'd rather buy a nice Buick, employ Americans, and donate the difference to something worthwhile instead of to the people who brought you the Bataan Death March and Auschwitz.
Toyota.Lexus 5pts @ DriverTT You couldn't be more wrong. The ISF beats the C63 and S4 on the track and can match the M3 track time. Car And Driver recent track test of the 2012 ISF put down the same lap time as the M3 which I believe was 4:14 in their lighting test.Get your facts right.When it comes to the IS250/350 did you forget about the F-Sport version of those cars ? Seems like you did because the F-Sport IS250/350 come fully kitted out with suspension upgrades, brakes upgrades, tuned exhausted, better steering all legit upgrades where Audi, BMW and Merc all just have a body kits with bigger wheels and a "badge" but no real added performance upgrade.When the IS350 first came about I believe it was in 2006 ? I remember reading reviews about it it took first place. It was the fastest, most powerful and best handling in its class it even sent BMW back to the drawing board. Bmw then sent out the 335i to compete with the IS350.Lexus and performance are nothing new.
Toyota.Lexus 5pts @ CommanderMadYou still didnt name a BMW that can beat the LFA... I didnt ask for your opinion nor do I care. Fact remains regardless of what you think there is no BMW that can beat the LFA on the track or is as well built and engineered.Goodday.
L-Finesseness 5pts Anyone else think Lexus is boring? Honestly, I didn't think the Motor Trend guys would put it ahead of the BMW; they love BMW.Honestly, I like the new design of Lexus. It's angular, aggressive, and stands out. Am I alone on this?
i_heart_cars 5pts Wow. i have to admit, im shocked! You guys love BMW. I never would have thought the Lexus would have won. I take my hat off to you guys.
tdisimone 5pts I was fully expecting you to pick the BMW because that's what you guys usually rave about. I was also surprised that you didn't pick the Audi (4 1st place performances and one 1st place tie). Sounds like some people there must have collectively stumbled, hit their heads and suffered minor/major concussions.
JDM_FAN 5pts I was in love with the 5 series before the Lexus showed up. I would have gladly dropped the 60k on the beemer over the others. Its the best looking in my opinion. But this new Lexus, its not exotic but its handsome, and that interior is exquisite. And to think its a better drivers car than the BMW. I don't think BMW so much has lost their way than Lexus has finally started to catch up. The IS-F was a shot across the bow. Its not a threat to an M3 but showed the potential Lexus had. I don't know why people keep thinking numbers win comparos, numbers are good but they never tell the whole story. Couple days ago I would have bought the 5 hands down. This Lexus though is now my favourite.On a side note, the CTS would be outclassed in this test. The caddy is nice but its class of car is more in line with an Infiniti G37. It would never be crossed shopped with this bunch and would not offer the same levels of luxury or refinement.
DriverTT 5pts The big problem Lexus has is the IS250/350.Those 2 versions are nothing like what this review says of the IS's big brother, the GS.Audi A4/S4 and BMW 3 series are much better sport sedans than Lexus IS, and that's where the bread and butter money is.I think people like me, who want a sport sedan more so than a luxury sedan, opt for the A4, 3 series, C-class as they offer a smaller size, lower price, and driving fun over luxury.The car class here should be weighed more on it's luxury appeal than driving prowess. That's just my opinion.This class is too big for most of us who enjoy sport sedan driving.Heck, even the A4 and 3 series have become too big. Yet, when compared to this size car, they still offer a better compromise.I'd be very interested if Lexus could bring some GS driving dynamics to the IS.I'm shopping right now for my next car.Once again it's down to the A4 or 3 series.The ATS is coming too late for my party.
mcb345 5pts I'd rather save $20,000 and get the 2012 Acura TL SH-AWD. Just as quick, more nimble in the corners and oh yeah, easily $15,000-$20,000 cheaper than these.
twistedwankel 5pts I have never lived next to lawyers, bankers, or other thieves. Will never own a car of this price range on my even lower retirement salary. I read these articles just to see how far things get out of hand in the world of "status". Most of the Doctors I've had over the years either drove Mercedes or Cadillacs. Their wives drove this "other" stuff. I'll have to ask the one neighbor I have who rents his house if he's jealous of my 8 year old "new" RX-8. Or my 86 Mustang GT? Both of which are probably alot more fun to drive than any of these $50k cars.
CJinSD 5pts We took the Genesis 5.0R for a test drive before leasing a 2012 A6. It wasn't all its hyped up to be, not even close. The interior styling is 20 years behind Audi and details like trunk finish aren't addressed at all. The engine's 429 hp exist only on paper, like Hyundai's EPA figures. For such a large sedan, it doesn't have sufficient headroom for adult men to sit in the back seat. Overall, it was the most disappointing car we looked at during our selection process. Sadly, the new GS350 wasn't around or it would have been on the list to look at. Being a Lexus, it might have even made sense to buy instead of lease.
bocrich 5pts OK...what a stupid article...Audi, Lexus,Infinity???get real...Len P is correct...the CTS runs circles around this junk...Also...how about the GENESIS???? far superior to all for a very nice price....
Boentgru 5pts Sixes are nice, but V-6's (V6) don't run as smoothly as in-line 6 (I6) engines or flat six cylinder types. Only the I and H configurations have perfect primary and secondary balance.
LenP 5pts I've owned Lexus, Cadillac, and Acura. We just leased a new CTS after comparing the Mercedes ,Audi, and the BMW. These guys slamming the Cad must drive Chevys, because anyone who has driven all of the cars mentioned would never say that Cadillac doesn't stack up. It might not win a comparo against the others, but it definitely is in the same class.
LenP 5pts I guessed the new Lexus would outclass the rest, but I'm wondering why there was no CTS? It pretty much fits in this category, and I think it would be very competitive.
CommanderMAD 5pts @Toyota.LexusThe LFA was the largest waste of resources that Toyota has ever applied to a car. It just goes to show how well the Japanese are able to copy everyone else and add in a bunch on technology to make it sound attractive, when all was done the performance of the car wasn't any better than what is available at the same (or under) price range. BMW doesn't NEED to build a car to rival the LFA, the M3 is twice the car the LFA will EVER be. Shut up with the LFA.I'm glad however that Lexus is able to design and build a car that is at least worthy to compete against (especially) BMW, after the failed ISF (which could have been awesome). Kudos Lexus, kudos.On another note.. Why wasn't the CTS involved?
DickStorm 5pts You may have the same nerves but everyone's brain processes feelings and sensations differently. Don't play that doc crap on me. We all don't feel the same about how a car drives. If u are arguing that with me u are a completely wrong.
British_Boy_007 5pts @ DickStormDriver feel is not completely subjective. Every human has the same nerve receptors and neurons (unless you have damage or a disease) and feels the same thing when exposed to them. Everyone should be able to determine whether a car has good feel and is enjoyable to drive.
DickStorm 5pts How can the A6 win every category, except one in which it tied the BMW for 1st, not be in first place? Driver feel is completely subjective. If you go by the numbers then the Audi A6 is the clear winner. BTW I hate Audi, but I am a man of science. I think MT believes that 60% of the time they are right every time. I said it.
betoescoto 5pts Hate you. hate you MT, really hating you right now Motortrend.I dont believe this crap for a second.
M270A1 5pts Dayum, does BD check this article like every hour or what? easy with your jizzing bro. anyways.. The GS is my choice as well.. I'm glad they brought the good GS back. also.. the CTS? are you kidding me? I like the car too but it's nowhere luxurious as these cars. The V'd be unfair on performance since they aren't comparing such as M5, S6 or E63.
British_Boy_007 5pts Congrats to the GS. I really like it and it seems as though Lexus has remembered what the Germans have forgotten: how to make a car nimble and enjoyable to drive. I also think the interior is very nice with a low dash for good visibility. The M looks like a huge (59 inches tall!) jiggling amorphous blob with a terrible ride and transmission to boot.
BlackDynamiteNYC 5pts ddananiaYou aren't satisfied with the CTS losing to the 3-series, C-Class, and G37?You should really decide which class the CTS wants to fail, then....BD
ddanania 5pts And the CTS was not part of this comparison because...?!? If a fully loaded CTS was part of the test, it would show all your readers how overpriced and underwhelming these cars are. Or if you did bring a $60K+ CTS to the test, it would be the V series and then it would not be a fair fight at all. You have again protected your precious imports and excluded a very good car from the test. Boooo to Motor Trend (one of many reasons I cancelled my subscription...biased reporting)
ThrottleBlip 5pts Never though I'd see the day when BMW looses to Lexus. BMW should see this as a wake up call.
lions208487 5pts Take away the S from the M and put the smaller wheel package per the base model, and the M37 would finish much higher. M/T and C/D gave rave reviews to the M37 base over the Sport version. It's a much better ride without it. That being said, I am happy to see that Lexus won at least one comparison test over the 5 series. BMW is headed in the wrong direction in order to maintain CAFE standards. I test drove the 528i with the turbo 4, and it was horrible. I crossed shopped it with a M35H, and I was definitely impressed with that particular Infiniti product.
Stephen321 5pts @cinas02 I would love to have 4 cars I need to rotate out so they get driven regularly... However, not everyone has that kind of money. My dad just leased a GS350, and I have driven it. I'll say it's not a bad car, but not a great car for me. Actually, none of these really excite me, but maybe it is the size. I think my car is considered a compact, or something right under mid-size. I own an Infiniti G37X (the X means all-wheel drive). I did not like the M37 as much (again, bigger and too expensive for me). So I got a car not in this class, but boy, do I look forward to driving it. It is rated as very reliable (infiniti is Japanese also). Since you can afford 4 cars, when one needs to be replaced, if you can live with a smaller (and 20% cheaper), I would reccomend a G37X, with any package available (I think there are only 1 or 2 pkgs available on the G37X. Loaded up it has an MSRP in the low-40's, and I am willing to bet that you will enjoy the handling etc of a "4 passenger sports car". It rocks, and I bet you will enjoy it (don't get the m-37... too comparable to what you have with the GS 350
NorthVAbmw 5pts @cinas02If you actually do your homework and study up on reliability ratings, you'll find that Lexus isn't as reliable as you claim. Lexus is predominantly made from the Toyota corporate parts bin that produces the never-ending stream of recalls that we've seen over the past few years.
GT1000 5pts I just test drove the A6 and drive across the street and test drove the GS350 F sport less than 20 min later and I agree the Audi did have more pick up and go off a light and hands down held a turn at much higher speed with much better performance. That being said the Lexus intirior was heads and shoulders above the Audi. The seats, the interior design as well as the ease of of use of the GPS system just much better. Add also to the fact that with a twist of a knob I could go from take a nap soft ride to buckle down whip it around a corner tight suspension and the Audi can't keep up. I like the review felt the Audi felt very disconnected from the road.
natnut 5pts @Mark Ross The A6 has felt competent but mechanical and utterly dull while the GS felt like a live connection between me and the road. The interiors? No contest : A6 had awful too upright uncomfortable seats while the GS seats were the most comfortable in this segment. And I test drove A6,GS, Infiniti, E-class and 5 series.Final analysis : A6 has tons of grip but ultimately let down by its FWD roots and nose-heaviness while the GS just danced around the corners with a light-footed grace.
GT1000 5pts These are luxury cars and feel is what they are all about. As long as the numbers are all about the same then it's together luxury feel of the ride that determines a winner. If you were testing performance based sports cars then I can see you having a point about basing more in the numbers!
NorthVAbmw 5pts @Toyota.LexusCompletely stupid comment about the LFA. Name a single dealership in the U.S. where you can buy a Lexus LFA. You can't because it's a specialty car that can only be leased for $12,398.44 per month for 24 months @ $297,562.56 worth of lease payments over two years with an MSRP of $375,000. All that makes it a meaningless comparison of apples to oranges, especially considering that you can't name a single rated competition or professional race that the LFA has won. While it did rate first in one phase of a recent Nürburgring competition, the LFA placed 29th overall. Compare that to BMW's competition chops.

Just searching for a step by step guide for adding other channels
Solved! Go to the solution
on 08-10-2012 04:07 PM - last edited on 10-06-2014 05:28 PM by D.C
It's in your Sky manual. Here's an extract of the relevant part:
"Some channels can be received by your Sky±HD box but don't appear in
Sky Guide listings.
Your Sky±HD box is designed to receive digital television signals transmitted
at 28.2 or 28.5 degrees east, either unencrypted or encrypted using BSkyB's
encryption system. It may be possible to receive other digital satellite signals
but it's not guaranteed.
You can add new channels to a separate list called Other Channels, as follows:
1 Press services (for Options), press down then select the Add Channels tab.
2 Enter the information you want and press yellow (Find Channels).
3 After a moment, a selection of channels received by your Sky±HD box appears.
Some may be in addition to those in your Sky Guide.
4 For each new channel you want to store, highlight the channel and press
yellow (Store Channel). A tick appears next to the channel name.
5 When you're done, press select."

I am so excited to join this great forum! I live here in Las Vegas, NV with my Disney Fanatic wife. No kids yet, but we figure we live life to the fullest; meaning travel first, have kids later.
Yes, I work for a casino, but we don't live in one of the hotels. :grin: I'm sure the WDW Cast Members get the same question as well, "Do you live in one of the resorts or the Castle at MK?" Always gives me a smile.
I love listening to Lou's podcast every week! I like the tips and the extra tidbits that he offers. So Lou - THANK YOU for sharing your magic! His podcasts help me with planning our trip to WDW in September. We are also planning in a couple of years of going to Disneyland Paris. But, first things first. I want to enjoy this coming trip.

Greek god of vegetation and fruitfulness, known especially as the god of wine and ecstasy. His Roman equivalent was Bacchus. He was known to the ancient Mycenaens, and he became one of the most important of all the Greek gods. A son of Zeus and (according to the standard tradition) Semele, he was brought up by the maenads, or bacchantes. The first creator of wine, he traveled widely teaching the winemaking art, with a following of satyrs, sileni (see satyr and silenus), and nymphs. Festivities called Dionysia or (among the Romans) Bacchanalia were held in his honour; in their earlier years they were wild, ecstatic occasions, and they have often been the subject of artistic representation. Dionysus originally appeared as a bearded man, but later more often as a slim youth. His principal attribute was the thyrsus, a wand bound with vine leaves. The dithyramb, a choral hymn in his honour, is often seen as the basis of Western drama.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Glimpse of Roman Luxury on Display in Ephesus
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
April 27th, 2011 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) South of the Turkish city of Izmir, two Roman houses are being excavated. Known as "Slope Houses" for their location on the side of Mt. Coressus, they were once the homes of some of the Eastern Roman Empire's upper class citizenry from the 1st to 7th centuries AD. LOS ANGELES, CA. (Catholic Online) - Often compared to similar homes found in Pompeii and Herculaneum, historians assert their relative importance to the surrounding area. Some very important and influential Roman citizens lived here and the excavations have revealed a trove of information about their lifestyles.The houses were abandoned in the 7th century in the face of increasing Arab raids, and the filling in of the local harbor with silt, which made the location less desirable. Landslips, (small landslides) eventually filled the houses with soil and thus preserved their contents. Archaeologists have been impressed with the finds. The two houses, designated 1 and 2, contain traditional Roman art, including mosaics and frescoes that adorned the homes of the Roman and Byzantine elites during the period. Each house has three stories, complete with heating, running water, atriums, and street level entrances. House 1 has a beautiful black and white mosaic and a marble floor with a fountain in the center. Its frescoes feature scenes from popular Roman dramas leading archeologists to speculate its owners were connected to the local theater. The larger House 2, features a beautiful 5th century glass mosaic in its atrium. The artwork in the house is clearly pagan, but the owners, given the date, were likely Christians which makes the choice of pagan art all the more interesting. The slope houses are still being excavated and are sometimes covered by tents, but they are usually open to the public. Major finds of artifacts from the houses can be seen in the nearby Ephesus Museum. Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) |

Dear readers:
Welcome to the residency pages for the Department of Family Medicine and Population Health at VCU.
One of the unique and exciting features of family medicine at VCU is that our programs are not attached to our large tertiary medical center, but are unique and individualized sites around the state of Virginia. Each program trains its graduates to practice across the full spectrum of potential practice sites, but we have programs that appeal to a wide variety of students with individual personal interests. Do you want to be a rural doctor with the joys associated of life in a small town? Then the Shenandoah residency is the place for you. Or, are you looking for a suburban practice close to a major metropolitan area? Our Fairfax and Riverside programs fit the bill. In addition, residents in both the St. Francis and Chesterfield programs enjoy suburban southern communities just outside the state capital. All of our programs provide strong academics, committed faculty and exciting colleagues, each with a unique personality and setting.
Please spend time on each of the individual sites that are provided here so that you can appreciate the differences in our programs. Get to know the faculty and residents from their profiles and consider applying to all that appeal to you.
If we can be of any assistance in the central office, feel free to contact me at any time at email@example.com.
We look forward to hearing from you.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Baghdad-based Al-Iraqiyah Satellite Television in Arabic, in its morning
newscasts on 20 November, reports on Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's
arrival in Japan on an official visit to bolster bilateral relations;
the parliament's 37th session; President Jalal Talabani's meeting with
several US officials to exchange viewpoints on means to bolster
bilateral relations; and the statement made by Fu'ad Husayn, head of the
Kurdistan Region Presidency Office, denying that that Kurdistan Region
President Mas'ud Barzani reached an agreement with Turkish officials to
extend the stay of Turkish forces that have been garrisoned on Kurdish
soil for years.
Within its 0500 gmt newscast, the channel carries the following reports:
- "President Jalal Talabani has met with Dennis McDonald, US President
Barrack Obama's foreign policy adviser, and his accompanying delegation
to discuss the US-Iraqi relations. A presidential communique said that
during the meeting, which was attended by Tony Blinken, US Vice
President Joe Biden's national security adviser, US Ambassador to Iraq
James Jeffrey, and General Lloyd Austin, commander of the US troops in
Iraq, viewpoints were exchanged on the means to bolster relations
between Iraq and the United States to serve the best interests of the
two countries."
Within its 0900 gmt newscast, the channel carries the following reports:
- "Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki has arrived in Japan on an official
visit heading a high-ranking delegation. A government source explained
that the visit is of an economic nature, adding that it serves as a
message from Iraq to all the countries that wish to invest in it saying
that Iraq is now stable and interested in building and reconstruction.
In a press conference held before his departure to Japan, Al-Maliki
stated that the goal behind the visit is bolstering bilateral relations,
adding that his negotiations will focus on the reconstruction of Iraq."
- "The parliament held today its 37th session of the second legislative
year to discuss Iraqi sovereignty, the US troops' withdrawal, foreign
attacks against Iraq, and the attacks that take place from Iraq against
neighbouring countries. The session will also witness the first reading
of the second amendment of the provincial councils' law. Noteworthy, the
parliament's presidency, headed by Speaker Usamah al-Nujayfi, met with
the leaders and representatives of the political blocs to discuss the
parliament's work and upcoming legislation to be included in the
parliament's agenda. For his part, MP Abbas al-Bayati stated that there
are 31 laws ready for voting, which will be included in the agenda of
the first month of the new legislative year."
- "Fu'ad Husayn, head of the Kurdistan Region Presidency Office, has
denied that Kurdistan Region President Mas'ud Barzani reached an
agreement with Turkish officials, during his last visit to Turkey, to
extend the stay of Turkish forces that have been garrisoned on Kurdish
soil for years. Noteworthy, a few days ago the Turkish Al-Taraf
Newspaper published a news report saying that Barzani reached an
agreement with Turkish officials, during his visit to Ankara, to extend
the stay of Turkish forces that have been garrisoned on Kurdish soil for
years for the next six years."

I have a huge hibiscus - gets about 5' high and 6' wide, deep red blooms the size of dinner plates. It flowers well but the leaves get eaten completely away by small green caterpillars. Any suggestion for control of them? Thanks. |

Dear Hollasch, Try 1 tablespoon of Dawn dishwashing soap in 1 gallon of water and pour some in spray bottle and spray on every leaf both front and back. Repeat once a week til the plant is clear of bugs. I love red, and plan on buying a red one next spring. That way it will have the entire summer to grow in before I bring it in for the winter. GOod Luck! Carla |

The little green worms are sawfly larva .. In mid to late spring a black fly with an orange head (sawfly , but really a wasp) land on the leaves and insert the eggs in leaf tissue .. The larva are constantly eating and can skeletonize the whole plant. I use neem oil as soon as the sawfly start coming around. 2 to 3 weeks of spraying as per directions with neem. It is a growth retardant which doesn't allow the larva to develop and of course they die. But for me I won the sawfly battle only to have japenese beetles destroy all my blooms .. |

I have 4 hibiscus plants in my yard, 2 are huge, over 4 ft tall, I bought them this year under a foot. 2 of them look like a skeleton and looks like something is eating it almost down to the ground, first the leaves then the stems. I tried 7 dusting the plants and surrounding area, then adding more fertilizer but they still look aweful. This is all happening within the last 2-3 weeks. I know it cant be the fall weather because the others are still huge and vibrant, blooming everyday. Please help, I don't really want to dig them up and start over. |

do it yourself saturday: soy candles
the cold is rapidly approaching. now is a perfect time to take advantage of those cold saturdays and sundays inside and try a craft– making soy candles. and who knows? maybe you can give out some as gifts this holiday. or better yet, use them at open houses if you are selling your home [with style|house realty of course!].
soy candles are great because they are good on the environment and a lot easier to clean up than wax candles. you can get all of the supplies from your local craft store. try it out for yourself:
what you will need:
• soy wax, glass container[s], wick [cotton with assemblies], wick bar, fragrance oil of your choice, dye chips, hot plate, thermometer
what you need to do:
• melt 1lb [16 oz.] of sox wax in a double boiler by heating it to 185F.
• next, add the color chip of your choice. to avoid bad color distribution add the color chip at a little bit of a higher temperature.
• add [about- depending on your scent strength preference] 1oz. of the fragrance oil of your choice. make sure to stir well and remove it from the heat so the fragrance does not evaporate.
• heat your glass container slightly in boiling water.
• make sure your wax cools to about 125F and slowly pour the wax into the heated container[s]
• insert the wick using the wick bar guide into the center of the candle.
• lastly, let the candle cool for about 12-15 hours, cut the wick to 1/4″ and enjoy!

Sony has today launched its new 'Music Unlimited' service in the United States, NZ and Australia priced at $10 per month and, despite earlier reports that the company was looking to withdraw from Apple's iTunes Store, Business Insider is reporting that the company COO, Brandon Layden, has debunked that rumor (via MacStories). While it is unclear if the 'Music Unlimited' service would make it on to iOS devices as an app, due to the Apple 30% revenue restrictions, analysts will once again be wondering when Apple is intending on launching their own music streaming service.
Recently it emerged that Spotify, the popular unlimited music streaming service is also close to getting a launch in the USA, although anecdotal reports have suggested that the path to the launch has been difficult given music publishers' loyalty to iTunes. While Sony is in a different position as it is, in itself, a music publisher, a launch of two major music streaming services in the Unites States will obviously impact upon the most popular online music source in the US today. i.e. iTunes. The question is, when will Apple be ready to launch a response?
Recent rumors have suggested that MobileMe is undergoing a revamp and that a core part of the changes will reflect a new approach to streaming music. Many expect that MobileMe consumers will be able to store all of their music online and access their music library wherever they are. However, while that is a cool concept, it is really nothing new. That's what an iPod is for.
The issue for Apple lies in the fact that iTunes is already the biggest music retailer in the US and therefore they are probably not in such a hurry to launch an unlimited iTunes service. However, what we may see is the launch of an unlimited music service bundled together with the revamped MobileMe. While the cost of MobileMe is currently $99 a year, major changes could move that annual cost to tiered monthly subscriptions which, of course, would be managed through the new in-app subscription system that Apple is launching.
A tiered system would allow consumers to choose their level of service. Perhaps for $5 per month, users could have access to all of the major features of MobileMe, including storing their own purchased music online. Then, perhaps for an additional $5 per month, users could then have access to unlimited iTunes streaming. This may be optimistic pricing however, as an iTunes unlimited service would take a big bite out of Apple's music sale profits.
It's a matter that obviously requires a lot of thought.

It has been two weeks since the first ever CUNY WordCampEd, an event co-sponsored by us at the Schwartz Institute, New York City College of Technology, and the Macaulay Honors College. I have been meaning to reflect on this remarkable conference in this space but, seeing as how way leads on to way, I haven't been able to get around to it. Plus, the need for yet another reflection seemed to diminish as the days passed since several smart and insightful people have already blogged the event. NYCCT's Matt Gold, York College's Michael Cripps, and Dave Lester of George Mason University have posted excellent recaps of the conference. Jim Groom, our inimitable keynote speaker, wrote a powerful, very personal reflection on the day's conversations and why they matter to CUNY, and our own Luke Waltzer recently posted to this blog a terrifically engaging and forward looking exploration of some of the ideas that animated the events of that day and, most importantly, what they mean to the future of instructional technology at CUNY.
This week, though, the Chronicle of Higher Education published a piece by Jeff Young on CUNY WordCampEd. Since the picture the Chronicle paints of CUNY WordCampEd doesn't fully jibe with my experience of the event, I figured this was reason enough to enter the fray.
What's especially striking about the Chronicle piece is that it presents CUNY WordCampEd as motivated by the flight of a cadre of CUNY professors from Blackboard to blogging software as an ad-hoc alternative. "The meeting's focus," writes Jeff Young, "was an idea that is catching on at a handful of colleges and universities around the country: Instead of using a course-management system to distribute materials and run class discussions, why not use free blogging software — the same kind that popular gadflies use for entertainment sites?"
I take issue with this description on a number of levels, not the least of which is that it trivializes the tremendous pedagogical power and content management capabilities of a fully-realized, highly extensible, open source web publishing platform like WordPress and characterizes the event as animated by a simple opposition: blogs vs. Blackboard. In fact, CUNY WordCampEd was driven by something much much bigger and far less simple: a collective recognition that 1) the open, social web offers rich possibilities for transforming teaching, learning and the sharing of knowledge and creative work that we are only beginning to tap in a meaningful way here at CUNY and 2) that proprietary, closed learning management systems (LMS), in addition to their various other deficiencies, cannot keep up with the ways in which the social web is continually changing.
A good deal of the conversation at CUNY WordCampEd revolved around three very different yet exemplary projects, all of which are either built on or incorporate WordPress Multi User (WPMu), the "blogging software" to which the Chronicle refers. These are the CUNY Academic Commons, a multi-faceted online community space for CUNY faculty and students that seamlessly integrates WPMu as well as several other open source tools; our own Blogs@Baruch, a publishing platform for Baruch College intended initially to enable faculty to facilitate additional occasions for student writing and founded on the principle that that any opportunity to write is potentially an opportunity to grow as a writer; and Eportfolios@Macaulay, an adaptation of WPMu that allows Honors College students to collect their work, reflect upon it, share it with others if they choose to, and keep it for posterity — it likewise allows faculty to holistically assess student work. None of these important projects were mentioned in the Chronicle piece. Neither was ScholarPress, a set of impressive course management tools for WordPress developed by Dave Lester and his team at George Mason University (the same folks that gave us Zotero and Omeka), which Dave demonstrated at the opening of the event. (If there was a true, similarly capable alternative to Blackboard as LMS discussed at the conference, this was it, gradebook and all.) By excluding any discussion (or even a mention) of these projects, the article reduces and simplifies the thrust of day's discussion of open source tools so that it ultimately comes off as merely speculative and not rooted in actual, substantive work already underway here at CUNY (excepting, of course, of the recognition of the wonderful work Zoë Sheehan Saldaña is doing here at Baruch).
Though the themes of Blackboard as 1) replicating an outdated pedagogical model and 2) and barely working recurred throughout the day, the conference was much more about experimenting with open source web tools based on their own merit than as any kind of real alternative to Blackboard that could or should be adopted centrally. As we have seen in the Clarion article which Luke cites, CUNY's flirtations with alternatives to Blackboard in the wake of repeated outages seem to be more about showing Blackboard Inc. that CUNY means business and is not to be taken for granted than they are about finding a real, viable, working alternative that enhances both teaching and learning. Jim's cry to "Open up CUNY!" did not mean "let's all dump Blackboard and start blogging." Rather, it was a call to breathe into our use of technology for teaching, learning, and sharing the spirit of free access and openness on which CUNY was built. CUNY WordCampEd was not an occasion to think through ways blogs could displace Blackboard in the classroom, but, in his words,
to imagine the possibilities of an open source CUNY, a CUNY that is not only re-investing in people rather than corporations to steer the future of education for this space, but a vision of imagining the technology as a way to make visible and accessible the work happening at the most diverse collection of urban campuses in the nation: a vision of open education that trumps courseware or videos or blog posts, a vision that brings 22 disparate campuses into some real communication with one another fueled by a community that believes in the irrefutable value of open, affordable, and relevant education in the 21st Century.
CUNY WordCampEd was not about blogs. It was not about Blackboard. It was about CUNY. This may not be of interest to those readers of the Chronicle who do not yet care about what is happening at The City University of New York, but it matters to me and to all of us who learned so much from the presentations and the conversations at CUNY WordCampEd.

The Securities and Exchange Commission issued an order suspending the trading of shares of online charter broker Connect- A-Jet from October 1 to 12 because of alleged "deceptive practices." Trading resumed after Connect-A-Jet filed Form 15c2-11 to reinstate the quoting of its stock with the SEC, but the commission won't comment on whether the firm remains under investigation.

Every day, a fleet of more than 600 helicopters transports 10,000 passengers to and from thousands of oil and natural gas rigs and platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. For the better part of the last four decades, one helicopter model has dominated that fleet: the five-seat Bell JetRanger.

When French airframer EADS Socata unveiled a souped-up version of its venerable TBM 700 single-engine turboprop in 2005, it billed the aircraft as the "anti-very light jet." Indeed, the TBM 850 will carry more payload, fly farther and typically complete a 500-mile trip about as quickly as a twinjet VLJ. It will also burn only about half the fuel and climb like a rocket.

When Gulfstream purchased Galaxy Aerospace in 2001 for $330 million, the deal was sort of the aviation equivalent of the reality television show Flip This House. With an eye to quick profit, an investor on the show snaps up a distressed property he thinks needs only new paint, then discovers the place is infested with termites and has a rotting roof. Whoops.

In the 1990s, a booming economy created fertile ground for fractional flying, a new form of private air travel that providers touted as having predictable costs and being much less expensive than full ownership.

Aircraft cabin pressure often receives blame for passenger discomfort, from mental and physical fatigue to nausea, headaches and malaise. And while some justification exists for such claims, the subject is complicated.
October 1, 2007
Simply put, air charter is the front door for all things at the business aircraft level in general aviation. It precedes fractional ownership. It stimulates full aircraft ownership. The jet card programs couldn't exist without it. And for the manufacturers it represents a free "demo" program for their products.

Before you fly, take a moment to consider whether you risk spreading disease to fellow passengers-or vice versa. "People know tuberculosis, colds and flu are contagious," said Dr. David Streitwieser, medical director for MedAire's MedLink Service.

In a recent discussion of sports with my British colleague Charles Alcock, he talked about England's historic admiration for what he described as the "gifted amateur." This was illustrated best in the 1981 movie Chariots of Fire, the story of Harold Abrahams, the gold-medal winner in the 100-meter dash at the 1924 Olympics.

""I've got a list of corporations that have gotten out of their airplanes [because of criticism from politicians]. It is the stupidest thing I've ever seen. When you look at the time and cost savings; it does not make sense not to fly [privately]. You can't let public perception interfere with your business decision to fly. It either is a good business decision or it isn't.""

"This is a great recipe, and very different from anything I've ever tried on salmon. The only (minor) changes for me: Used macadamia nuts instead of walnuts, and substituted brown sugar for the honey, as that was what I had on hand. It totally worked! My salmon looked just like the picture! Thanks for sharing!"
"I made this dish last night -- I had been looking for a recipe like this one, as it closely resembles something that I used to make (but I had lost the recipe). I followed exactly, though I did add more garlic. This produces a lot of the sauce, but it seemed kind of thin. I think that my old recipe called for orange juice concentrate, which wou..."
"I made these last night and my husband said they were the best pork chops he ever had. Did not change a thing, other than adding a few chopped green onions to the sauce as it heated on the stove. I'm thinking of using this as a marinade for a pork tenderloin, I'm sure that would also be great. Thanks for sharing this NurseDi!--Marla"

"Awesome, awesome, awesome! Not that this recipe needs another review, but I will never buy the jarred sun-dried tomatoes again. These have so much more flavor....

"I made this last week using orange roughy and it was wonderful. I didn't have lemon pepper, so I used fresh ground black pepper and squeezed some lemon into the mixture. Also, I used monterey jack cheese in place of the mozzarella, since it has more flavor. Thanks for sharing your recipe!--Marla"

"Hi there Di, I made these yesterday to bring to a party, and they turned out great. What appealed to me about this recipe is the fact that there is a lot less mayo called for than most recipes.

Barazzoni S.p.a.
Company address
Barazzoni S.p.a.
Via C. Battisti, 46
28045 Invorio (NO)
Interesting company information:
Legal form: S.p.A.
We offer products from the following categories:
Our company:
Although Barazzoni "officially" opened in 1903, the company dates back to 1897, when Giovanni Battista Barazzoni set up a small workshop to produce household articles from tin, brass and copper. Today, over one hundred years after its foundation, Barazzoni production includes stainless steel, non-stick aluminium, and ceramic saucepans, cooking utensils, and tableware, all of which demonstrate great attention to design, to innovation, to quality and to function.
Over the years, Barazzoni, the first Italian company to introduce design into the manufacturing of saucepans and kitchen articles, has made, and continues to make use of important design studios in Italy and abroad. The most famous designers that have collaborated closely with Barazzoni include Ennio Lucini, Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, Pininfarina, Mario Bellini, and since 2004, Claudio Bellini, the Art Director of the Piedmont-based company. The products created by these famous designers have received numerous international awards, and have even appeared in art exhibitions and museums in Italy and throughout the world. The successful combination of form and function is present in every Barazzoni product, irrespective of whether it carries the luxury Atelier Barazzoni trademark, the Barazzoni Progetti trademark, which is characterised by innovation and function, or the young, highly creative La Cucina di Barazzoni trademark.
Our scope of services:
Barazzoni, a company that is in the forefront, in terms of technology and production, always pays particular attention to the environment and to consumers' health. In this sense, with constant research into innovative materials and new generation coatings, such as the PFOA-free non-stick coating, the company expresses its great commitment to supporting ecology.
Andrea Barazzoni, the General Manager of the company, says, "Over the last few years, the company has grown a lot from an industrial point of view, and in terms of its products and brand; this evolution has enabled us to face this period with confidence and serenity, and to invest further to consolidate and strengthen our market position in the kitchen sector."
The company currently has about one hundred employees in its three sites, of Invorio, near Novara (Italy), Girona (Spain) and Singapore, and has a leading position in the Italian market, thanks to the number and quality of its products; the company is present in over eighty countries.
For over sixty years, Barazzoni has been a leader in the production of stainless steel pots and pans. In the last ten years, the company has progressively extended its output to non-stick aluminium. Today, the circle has been completed with ceramics, which enables Barazzoni to be the only company of reference capable of satisfying every kitchen need. And, by introducing a single design, and combining it with all materials, Barazzoni gives consumers the opportunity to create freely their own assortment of kitchen instruments.
Barazzoni is proud to be among the brands that are able to take the "Made in Italy" label to all parts of the world, thanks to the attention it pays to design, and to its ability to invest in high quality, technology and, above all, great innovation.
And so, the company today is at the forefront in terms of its products, of its sales concepts, and of consumer expectations, and is extremely careful about the environment.

Pepper spray and restraint chairs: "Use of force" at Colorado's supermax
The year began with Manuel Rodriguez being strapped into a restraint chair. It ended with Rodriguez back in the chair. Photos and more below.
At Colorado's state supermax prison, inmates get into confrontations with guards -- over food, hygiene, privileges, a refusal to "cuff up" or whatever -- out of boredom, mental illness or plain orneriness. Some claim to be provoked by staff.
Whatever the reason, it's a contest the prisoner is going to lose every time.
Colorado Department of Corrections documents obtained by Westword reflect a year's "use of force" incidents at the Colorado State Penitenitary, where the state's most disruptive inmates are confined to their cells 23 hours a day. There were 61 such incidents reported from March 1, 2012 to March 1 of this year, ranging from situations that merely required minor physical contact, known in prisonspeak as "soft empty hand control," to standoffs resulting in cell extraction teams unleashing pepper spray or confining belligerent prisoners to restraint chairs. Rte50.com Colorado State Penitentiary.
Although proponents of supermax prisons claim that they act as a deterrent to violence elsewhere in the corrections systems, the facilities also become repositories of "problem" inmates, whose failure to follow the rules tends to prolong their stay in solitary confinement -- and possibly exacerbate any preexisting mental problems. (As we've previously reported, roughly a third of CSP inmates have been diagnosed with some form of mental illness.) Overall, the use-of-force incident numbers have dropped dramatically at CSP since the late 1990s, when the staff was averaging ten cell extractions a month.Manuel Rodriguez.
But troubles in supermax are often a good indicator of trouble down the road, too. Evan Ebel, the parolee believed to have killed a pizza delivery man and DOC chief Tom Clements before dying in a shootout in Texas, acquired an extensive disciplinary record at CSP and the Sterling Correctional Facility before his release earlier this year.
The 61 CSP use-of-force incidents logged for a twelve-month period, obtained through an open records request, involved a total of 41 inmates -- with just four prisoners accounting for more than a quarter of the reports. Although the DOC declined to release details of each incident, DOC regulations call for an escalating spectrum of force, depending on the level of perceived threat.JJ Alejandro.
The log lists twelve instances of "emergent need entry" into cells, generally triggered by an inmate being unresponsive or refusing to obey rules (such as refusing to put hands through the food slot to be cuffed before staff entry); ten cell extractions, including five using pepper spray; 31 episodes of varying degree of force to subdue inmates, from "soft empty hand control" to "hard intermediate control;" four uses of the restraint chair; and four occasions when a SORT team was activated but no use of force was required.

Now that EW is officially released, I figured people are going to want to know how the new keywords work. Nothing is official till its in the FAQ, but they OK'ed me putting these out here as guidelines until a new FAQ is released.
Ambush X
The Ambush X keyword is active even when on a facedown development. During the Ambush step of the Battlefield Phase, the defending player chooses cards in the defending zone he wishes to Ambush and pays their Ambush cost (denoted by X), then they Ambush.
If the ambushed card is a unit, it must be declared as a defender for the current attack (it is not immediately declared as a defender when it ambushes). If the ambushed card is a tactic or has a "When this unit ambushes" effect, then it follows normal triggered action rules and must be put on the chain at the next available opportunity.
Raider X
Immediately after combat damage is applied, the controller of each surviving, attacking unit with the Raider keyword gains resources equal to its Raider value.
The Raider keyword triggers even when no damage has been dealt during combat, provided the unit with the keyword participated and survived.
Battlefield Phase
… Declare attackers, play actions, Ambush step, play actions, declare defenders, play actions, …
