Tampa General Hospital
Hospital Supports Flexible Workforce, Great Patient Care with Rich Communications
Tampa General Hospital (TGH) deployed Microsoft Lync Server 2013 to give its 7,100 employees anytime, anywhere, any-device communications options. Employees boost productivity by using a rich, flexible communications tool set, which ultimately helps TGH improve patient care and satisfaction. TGH is opening neighborhood clinics and letting employees work from home, and using Lync facilitates both initiatives while helping the hospital save money.
Business Needs
Tampa General Hospital (TGH) is a private not-for-profit hospital and one of the most comprehensive medical facilities in Central Florida, serving a dozen counties with a population of 4 million. TGH is one of the largest hospitals in Florida, and with approximately 7,100 employees, it is one of the region's largest employers. TGH is also the primary teaching hospital for the University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine.
Communications technologies are critical in healthcare today, which is no longer confined to hospitals but extends to wherever healthcare professionals and patients happen to be. TGH needed a communications platform that would enable it to deliver more flexible communication options to employees, including the ability to better communicate with patients. TGH used a mix of third-party audio conferencing, videoconferencing, email messaging, and other solutions but lacked a unified solution that employees could use to communicate with push-button simplicity from any device, including tablets and smartphones.
Lync videoconferencing really facilitates our work-from-home initiative and communication between employees in different offices. Employees can communicate from any device.
Scott McCarty
Network Engineer Senior Specialist, Tampa General Hospital
Several factors drove the adoption of such a tool set: the need to improve employee communications, provide better patient service, enable business growth, and keep costs in check. "Tampa General is located on an island, so we can't expand in our present location," says Scott McCarty, Network Engineer Senior Specialist in the Tampa General Hospital IT Department. "To accommodate business growth and also serve patients closer to their homes, we're building smaller neighborhood clinics. We needed better communications between the hospital and these satellite locations to avoid wasting time chasing down people and to provide accurate responses to questions."
Additionally, TGH had given many employees the option to work from home, but that required better technologies to link home-based employees to office-based colleagues. Last, but high on the importance list, TGH wanted to expand patient-facing technologies to improve the patient experience. "We survey patients after their stays, and patient satisfaction scores determine not only repeat business but how much federal funding we get for certain programs," McCarty says.
Tampa General Hospital deployed Microsoft Lync Server 2013 to gain a comprehensive communications suite in one system. Lync 2013 includes voice over IP, audio and videoconferencing, instant messaging, and presence.
Today, when one of the company's 7,100 employees needs to communicate with a colleague, they use the Lync presence indicator to find out if that person is available. If they are, they can contact them by phone, email, chat, or videoconference with a quick mouse-click. In the middle of a conversation, they can easily change communication methods—escalating a chat session to a videoconference, for example—or add colleagues to the conversation.
Many TGH employees use Microsoft Lync Mobile to extend rich Lync communications to their mobile phones. If a doctor is in a room with a patient and a nurse needs to contact her, the nurse can simply send a quick instant message to the doctor. The hospital has tremendously simplified conference call scheduling by using the one-click scheduling feature in Lync 2013.
Employees who work from home use Lync audio and videoconferencing to connect with office-based colleagues much more effectively than by email and phone. To communicate with vendors, university partners, Florida poison centers, and others outside of the hospital network, TGH uses Lync Federation, which enables organizations that use Lync or Skype to communicate with one another.
Patients benefit indirectly from better employee communications. "When our nursing and business staffs can communicate more efficiently, we can get answers, test results, and other information to patients faster," says Chris Maxey, Systems Analyst in the Tampa General Hospital IT Department. "There's a big drive in healthcare for quiet hospitals, especially at night when patients are sleeping. Employees using Lync have more communication options, so they can connect with colleagues without talking on the phone." TGH is interested in taking advantage of the interoperability between Lync and Skype to let patients contact their doctors using Skype.
By deploying Lync Server 2013, Tampa General Hospital has outfitted employees with modern communication tools that let them work flexibly from any location, and more productive employees contribute to improved patient service and satisfaction. TGH can use Lync communication tools to grow in new locations while saving costs.
Enable Better Employee Communications
By using Lync 2013, distributed TGH employees can work together as easily as if they were in the same room. "Lync videoconferencing really facilitates our work-from-home initiative and communication between employees in different offices," McCarty says. "Employees can communicate from any device. And managers really like the presence indicator, which increases their confidence that home-based employees are online and working. Presence also reduces the time wasted chasing people down."
Improve Patient Satisfaction
The faster employees can connect, the sooner they can deliver prompt, accurate care to patients. For example, the TGH bed-tracking department is constantly coordinating with hospital units to determine available room and bed resources. Instead of making phone calls, employees now use Lync instant messaging, which is less intrusive, keeps the hospital quieter, and helps the hospital accommodate patients more quickly. Soon, TGH hopes to introduce Lync and Skype videoconferencing with patients, to help doctors care for homebound patients and patients in isolation. Skype integration will also facilitate pastoral care communication with patients and family.
Help Company Grow in New Locations
With modern, flexible communication capabilities, TGH can confidently grow outside of its water-bound campus. "By using Lync 2013, we can expand our business through neighborhood clinics while giving employees in all locations the ability to communicate as well as if they were in the same facility," McCarty says. "We can also serve patients better through locations in their neighborhoods rather than forcing them to fight traffic and come into the hospital."
Reduce Infrastructure Costs
TGH has been able to streamline its complex communications infrastructure and trim costs—always a good thing. It retired a third-party web conferencing service to save US$15,000 annually, and it also eliminated its previous conference bridge infrastructure, a $10,000 annual savings.
By replacing multiple communications systems with Lync 2013, the IT department has been able to avoid significant growth in full-time staff numbers. "Our unified communications team has only three people who support email, Lync, audio and web conferencing, and various telephony-integrated solutions for 7,100 employees, so every efficiency helps," Maxey says.

Arizona average gasoline prices up again this week
PHOENIX -- Arizona motorists are paying more at the pump again this week.
Officials with Triple-A Arizona said Thursday that the average statewide price for unleaded regular gasoline is $3.62 a gallon. That's more than 13 cents higher than last week and a rise of 52 cents over the past month.
This week's national average is $3.77 per gallon, up by 15 cents from last week.
Triple-A analysts say the price rise has been propelled since mid-January by regional refinery issues and the approaching switchover to summer-blend gasoline.
Tucson has the lowest average gasoline price in Arizona at $3.37 a gallon while Scottsdale has the highest at $3.74.
Wyoming has the lowest average gas prices in the continental U.S. at $3.21 a gallon with California having the highest at $4.20 a gallon.

Could Carl Paladino Really Win?
The biggest fight in politics is between the norm and something else.
There's official, socialized, dress-for-success, acceptable manners, know-all-the-right-people stuff, and then there's the other—the uncouth.
There's Andrew Cuomo and then there's Carl Paladino.
The latter is a rude, nasty, semi-literate seeming buffoon. The former has, at various points in his career, been considered rude and nasty, but never a buffoon. Now he is smooth and controlled. In fact, one of his big career accomplishments is to have become smooth and controlled. So it must be irritating and confounding to have to even make the case against someone like Paladino, who doesn't at all care about the most basic requirements of political style and etiquette.
Theoretically, Paladino doesn't have a chance.

We have a pretty good zone and I have a pretty good locale for berry production. As well, the berry seasons fairly well match our market. Strawberries start in May, then blue berries ad black berries in June and July, and I've purchased a newer variety of raspberry that is supposed to be late summer. I've also got a few trees started, peaches and apples, Arkansas black apples which are popular here because of the tradition. That would give me some fall fruit. I'm just wondering if any of you "specialize" like that and if it is a good strategy. Our market seems to be flooded with produce as well as being rural a lot of people garden, and we compete with several permanent summer produce stands around town. I've thought about growing the less common veggies (asparagus, kolrobi, mushrooms) but I don't think the customer base is "snooty" enough for that. It seems to be more about "fresh". I have done okay with corn as I specifically grow peaches and cream and am able to keep from deep discounts when corn floods the market. Several years back I had a half acre of strawberries and sold everything I picked. It was too much for me to handle, though, so I'm looking at trying to do smaller plantings of different fruit and multiple varieties that will stretch my season out the longest I can. The goal being a smaller but steady supply. |

I'm also thinking like you. It takes a couple years to get there,which means if other see what i'm doing I have them by a couple years! I've started asparagus,strawberries,& blackberry; myself. I think they will work,I already have a strong following, for my different type melons I grow- no cantulope& watermeleon |
- Posted by myfamilysfarm 5b (My Page) on Sat, Feb 23, 13 at 9:14
I don't grow alot of fruit, but can sell strawberries, peaches and apples most any time. Also cantalope and watermelon will sell until everyonelse's comes in. The key that I've found is KNOW your produce. On apples, know which one better for pies, versus sauce. Know how to make applesauce especially for young moms, and it's rather simple. Know your peaches, which ones are higher in sugar (important to diabetics), know how to preserve them (again important to young moms). I've had several customers each year come to me and ask what varieties will be available for their liking, AND to make sure they have all the supplies that they need to preserve a few (even if it's just to freeze). |

Yes, Tulsa, especally the blueberries take a long time to get to peak production. Blackberries are faster and strawberries are up and running by the next year. I have had peaches off a dwarf in the second year, but I'm going with semidwarf because the dwarfs die out just a few years after they start producing. My family, the Arkansas black is a really great apple. Tart like a granny smith with a super long shelf life. It makes a really good carmel apple and ripens at a good time for that. You can't buy it in the grocery store and since people think of it as native, they like that. Same with the other berries, an Ozark Beaty strawberry and Ozark Blue blueberry will sell sooner than earliglo or duke. Arkansans aren't as bad as Texans, but they're pretty bad. LOL |

Specializing is great. It is just hard to know which thing to do! I think asparagus is a great idea, not for snooty people. It is perennial and easier to deal with than strawberries. I know the vendor next to me is continuing to go toward specializing to make it easier for him. He has put in a lot of asparagus and strawberries and garlic. I wish I could look in the future and see what I would learn about what crops would be best for me. I am great at flower arrangements plus flowers are easy to grow but I would have to get into a market that needed flower arrangements. |

Veggievicki, I love the Ozark Beauty, I had some that produced for almost 7 years. |
- Posted by veggievicki 7b (My Page) on Sun, Feb 24, 13 at 20:55
I'm a little nervous about Ozark Beauty. I've only done the June bearing in the past and not tried the ever bearing. Around here the big dogs only do June bearing, but I wondered if that is because they hire pickers or do u pick. (Which is May for us, not June). I thought maybe it is too hot for ever bearers. But since they're called Ozark, and I'm in the Ozarks, I figure it's worth a try. |
- Posted by myfamilysfarm 5b (My Page) on Sun, Feb 24, 13 at 21:09
I find that they were tastier than most other vendors' berries. You don't find them 'up here' much. |
I pretty much grow 4-5 crops to include garlic, onions, potatoes and winter squash. I do grow others such as snap beans, beets, tomatoes, carrots but not in large amounts. I grow what yields the best income per foot of row, and what I like to grow as well as the crops most suitable for my ground and management style. I used to try amnd grow it all, naw. berries have done well for me, currants, black berries and raspberries. |

Almost all of today's desktop CPUs (with the only exception being VIA's C3) require a fan attached to a heatsink to keep them sufficiently cooled. When choosing a fan to go with your heatsink, there are a few important things you should look at. The first is the type of fan.
Two types of fans that usually come with heatsinks are ball bearing fans and sleeve bearing fans. Most people prefer ball bearing fans rather than sleeve bearing fans because they spin faster, thus increasing cooling performance. Sleeve bearing fans have also been known to fail when they get old, which would be a disaster, especially for owners of AMD processors, since seconds after the fan stops working , the processor will be fried. A good way to tell if your fan is of good quality is to carefully listen to the sound if makes while it's running. you should just hear the sound of the air flowing, which can sometimes be rather loud depending on the speed of your fan. You should not hear a buzzing sound and if you do, chances are your fan's motor is poor.
If you would like high performance and do not mind a high noise level, I recommend a 7,000RPM ball bearing fan. However, if you would like a relatively quiet PC, you should be looking at a fan that rotates at around 4,000RPM.
Thermal Interface Material
To have the best possible heat transfer, the base of your heatsink has to be flat and free of air gaps. While a heatsink's base may often seem flat, there are always tiny bumps and dents that you cannot see and no matter how much you lap your heatsink, you will never get it perfectly flat.
To combat this problem, a TIM (Thermal Interface Material), such as a thermal compound or thermal pad, is used. A thermal pad usually comes preinstalled on a heatsink and is made out of graphite or some sort of polymer. while no installation is required and they are all that is need for most users, the performance they offer is far inferior to that of a thermal compound.
A thermal compound is a paste that is applied to the CPU or the heatsink. Most thermal compounds consist of silicon, silver and metal oxide. This is because these materials provide especially high thermal conductivity.

The system installed by SICE for the SAT (Guatemalan Tax Authority) consists of 50 video cameras, a digital information-storage system and control software.
The equipment will monitor all cargo entering and leaving the port, streamlining goods in
transit, and its high definition means that the bar codes, brands and types of goods being
transported can be read from the control cabin.
This system will also save time, as there is no longer any need for form-filling by hand: by
holding them up to the camera they can be copied and filed.
The aim of Secure Customs is to improve all levels of customs-services management,
facilitating customs-exit processes and improving the port's productivity to make it more
The opening ceremony was attended by the chairman of the Management Board, project
coordinator Roberto Diaz Duran, customs officer Raul Diaz, the managing director of SAT resources
management, Juan Francisco de León, the Institutional Security Manager, Juan Jose Marín, and
Armando Besh, representing the Guatemalan business community

This show is so good I can't stand it. I see what Connor means about Sonya. You can tell she's got something and how she just went into the bar and picked up the dude, screwed him and then went back to her police work. I like Marco and his wife. At least there is one husband that remains truthful. I enjoy how they are with each other. What a difference between the Mexican and US police agencies. So much more illegal shit going on but there again they have those drug cartels to deal with. Valdez is one mean son of a bitch and I wonder Eva means to him. Mendez is going to make a good partner to Frye and how smart she was to figure out those coordinates. I couldn't imagine where they were headed and the minute the turned off the road I knew it was going to be where those illegals immigrants were. Very good writing. I feel for the woman that got away when the car stopped for her. I think it's Valdez myself because Linder was at work. And for Sonya to figure out the bead and it being there was also very good. Back to Valdez, when he killed the neighbor I was so hoping she would get him but it just wasn't to be. So I'm assuming the Linder is the killer and if Valdez is after him I don't see that this case is going to last long so they have to throw in some sort of curve ball. And last but not least. Charlotte. I so loved it when she dumped the three bean salad on the attorney's desk and threw the money back at him. That tunnel is still going to be important part of this show. How different this is. I like how we get to the the cultural diversities in this. Hank is good with Sonya. Sorta reminds me of the relationship between Saul and Claire on Homeland.

I so agree that this is such a good show… you just never know what is going to happen next.. that sonya is something else. the sex was so slam bam thank you maam and then she told the boss she had had sex. she is quite the character. I love her oddness. she sure zeroed in on that bead and then to find another one in that plastic bottle. frye is a smart ass and I don't care for him, but he is sure lucky to be alive. that girl who works with him is pretty sharp and she figured out those coordinates really easily… I love marco and his wife too. funny when she told him she was p.g. and he has had a vasectomy… they didn't wait long enough before they got the love juices flowing … lol. I felt so sorry for that fat neighbor lady getting killed by valdez, I was hoping she would get the best of him but that was a pipe dream…. and you are so right about the tunnel and charlotte both. I loved the salad thing too.. and I think that attorney is lyle Lovett.. I like how very real this show is… its king of sickening at times but still so damn good. I cant wait for next weeks show….
I don't know about sickening but I think it's real true to life. I really like this

This is my little secret weapon. I never wear lip glosses because I find that they are just too sticky and I don't like the way they feel on my lips. But this is such an exception. I LOVE this lip gloss. It's not too sticky, it feels so smooth on my lips and the pigmentation is very decent for a drug store brand =) I use it everyday and I've been using it for years =) Definitely a permanent staple in my makeup bag. I love it =)
This colour is a soft shimmery pink that's really creamy.
Slightly silvery bright pink!!! I'm yellow toned, so it really isn't the best color match for me (because of the silver particles, and it's a wee bit frosty). I use it on my lips before I go to bed - mostly because of it's moisturizing qualities. For daytime use I have to put it on with a light hand! This is a HG gloss (although the color is not); it's not super sticky, very little glitter (I hate too much of that), looks beautiful. And, it's dirt cheap!!!
Mmmm. Deliciously pretty. this lip gloss smells/tastes like a strawberry ice cream sundae and is the prettiest pearliest pink. 5 lipsticks. The fine folks at BB have done it AGAIN!

Even those new to the design industry quickly become familiar with the name Karim Rashid. The innovative style of this progressive designer stretches across various categories of products, with introductions including the Chakra chair for the Raynor Contract Group, the Pierce Couch for Softline, the No-Stalgia Collection for Porcelanatto, and, most recently, the Cadmo light for Artemide.
Contract magazine stole a few minutes out of Rashid's busy design schedule to see how his inspirations have evolved and what he's designing for next.
You produce a multitude of new product designs and collections each year and, most recently, Artemide's Cadmo light. Do you find it difficult to consistently develop new and innovative designs for such a wide-range of products?
I am the one always pushing for development; I conceive more ideas than my clients can produce. It seems as though the world cannot keep up with my speed. In the last five months of this year, I have developed about 230 projects. Of those projects maybe 100 will get to market.
What are the major trends in design you see today? How do you see these developing in the future?
Trends, for me, are something that come and go, or are momentary, which is part of our ever evolving "in flux" world. But as a designer, for me, if something is "trendy," it means that it is over—it has already become a style at that point and is no longer a movement or direction. Frankly, I think we have blurred the meaning of trend, style, and design. Style is steeped in appropriating the past. Design is about shaping the future—about revisiting and evolving our culture and physical landscape. Ultimately, it is not about trends, problem solving, or just form or just function: It is about progress and evolving our experiential aesthetic world. It is not about elitism but everyday life.
What other new projects do you have in the works that you can share?
I am working on three new restaurants around the world, as well as two hotels. For products, I have new furniture lines with Bonaldo, Rowe, and Tonelli; credit cards; baby bottles; appliances; televisions; luggage; kitchen utensils; office chairs; and tons of packaging.
When did you know you wanted to become a designer?
I realized my life's mission at the age of five in London. I went sketching with my father in England—we were drawing churches. He taught me to see; that I could design anything and touch all aspects of our physical landscape. I remember drawing a cathedral façade and deciding that I did not like the shape of the gothic windows, so I redesigned them. (I drew them as ellipses.) At age six, I won a drawing competition for children with a sketch of luggage.
What did you enjoy most/least in design school?
I studied industrial design at Carleton University in Canada. The difficult part was that the program was really a broad general degree—with sociology, marketing, engineering, architecture, semantics, history, iconoclasm, and philosophy—so the degree at the time seemed frustrating because I really just wanted to draw and design. But looking back at it, I learned that design is not about a form or shape. It is a cultural critique, a faction of social, political, and economic life.
As an undergraduate studying in Italy, Ettore Sottsass taught me not to be too much of an artist. Working with Rodolfo Bonetto in Milano taught me that the industrial object is a manifestation of behavior. Working with Jan Kuypers in Toronto taught me how to collaborate with large corporations and still somehow make change.
Who or what has been your biggest design inspiration?
I am inspired by everything all the time. The world is an exciting, stimulating place, but everything becomes clear when I lie in my bed in the middle of the night. Everything can be inspiring; It is how you look at the world. (And I have a very critical view of the world, but also an optimistic one.) I am inspired by my childhood, my education, by all the teachers I have ever had, by every project I have worked on, by every city I have traveled to, by every book I have read, by every art show I have seen, by every song I have heard, by every smell, every taste, sight, sound, and feeling.
What has been your favorite project to date?
Semiramis (shown right) is my proudest most total project to date. It is a broad project where I designed everything from the building to the flatware, from the soap to the pool, from the garage to the furniture.
What do you consider your greatest success, and your greatest challenge?
Greatest success: I designed the Garbo waste can in 1995 for Umbra, and they have sold 8 million to date in the U.S. It proved to me that Americans want design but at an affordable price.
Greatest challenge: Dirt Devil Kone and Garbo. Both products were not going to production because the focus groups had said they were too radical.
What advice can you give to other architects, designers, and students looking to create their own product designs?
Learn to learn. Stay objective for the rest of your life. Search work not fame. Love the profession or leave it. Persevere. Build a body of work. Focus on the good. Don't be jealous, envious, greedy, or possessive.

Given the critical role sports can play in the lives of youth -- increasing healthfulness, graduation rates and employment success later in life -- we must ensure that everyone can take part, regardless of sex, gender identity or sexual orientation.
Read Whole Story
When I think about what sports have done for me , it makes me truly realize how important they are for our youth today. That is why I will be celebrating National Girls and Women in Sports Day today, with a promising outlook for our next generations of female leaders.
This is truly a day to celebrate! For the past year, 230 women, primarily from the University of Notre Dame's Classes of 1977 and 1976, and their coaches have worked diligently to recreate the rosters of the first women's sports teams at the University.

Baseball: Evergreen Park getting in a groove
By Pat Disabato email@example.com May 13, 2014 8:12PM
Mike Rizzo, of Evergreen Park, drives a shot against Oak Forest at Evergreen Park, Thursday, April 24th, 2014 in Chicago. | Gary Middendorf/for Sun-Times Media
Updated: June 15, 2014 6:39AM
Expectations were high at Evergreen Park this season.
It took some time, but the Mustangs are living up to the preseason hype by way of an 11-game winning streak through Monday.
Evergreen Park boasts a 17-8 record after a 3-2 win Monday over Eisenhower.
"I don't think we played bad early on," Evergreen Park coach Mark Smyth said. "We didn't have a good approach with two strikes and weren't coming up with the big hit."
The one constant, however, has been pitching and defense. The staff, led by senior Frank Meisl, boasts a minuscule 2.30 ERA.
Brian Pall and Joe Moran, a pair of junior pitchers, have stepped up big time.
"I kind of felt like the pitching staff was going to be our strength with Frank coming back," Smyth said. "Brian and Joe have matured. They've learned a lot and are throwing inside to hitters more."
Defensively, the infield of shortstop Mark Martin, second baseman Sean Miller and first baseman Corey Miller, along with catcher Mike Rizzo, has been spectacular. With the exception of Corey Miller, each is a returning starter.
The senior-led outfield of Dan Kohler, Keyshawn Carpenter and Kevin Farmer has been stellar.
"We're not hammering anybody, but we're winning close games," Smyth said. "We've been very consistent and not beating ourselves."
Rich Central seeking consistency
According to Rich Central coach Corey Stallings, his team's up-and-down season can be attributed to a lack of consistently playing.
"We've had game canceled and it's been difficult rescheduling," Stallings said. "We haven't been able to play with any consistency."
The Olympians were 12-5 overall and 7-3 in the Southland Conference through Monday. With a lineup that includes David Dugger, Michael Hoover, Demetrius Todd and B.J. Falkner, the Olympians have the potential to put up runs in bunches.
Dugger and Justin Freeman anchor a solid pitching staff. Stallings is hoping for a strong finish to the regular season.
"We have the potential to do that," he said. "We have a lot of talent. It would be nice to get into a rhythm and make a run heading into the playoffs."
Player of the Week
Brandon Hannigan, of Crete-Monee, is the SouthtownStar Baseball Player of the Week.
Hannigan, a senior first baseman, was 13-for-20, with five doubles, two homers, nine runs and nine RBI for the Warriors.

Most of what typical stores sell as cashmere is not what would classically have been called cashmere. It is fiber from the same animal but not the underlayers that are really soft. So "cheap priced cashmere sweater with decent quality" is really an oxymoron at the conventional retail level. The cheap stuff is not real cashmere. I mean, when places like Old Navy sell cashmere at ridiculously low prices then you should know it will not be the same quality material.
If you want to know what the material feels like then go to a few stores and compare fabrics at different price points. Alternatively, get a cashmere scarf or a pair of gloves from a good maker and compare that against the department-store level cashmere.
If you really want a cheaper product that performs similarly to cashmere, then I recommend alpaca. It has similar thermal performance to cashmere but is generally not quite as soft (still much nicer than wool though). There is a lot of production from Peru and Bolvia so you can find it at quite reasonable prices. There are makers selling hand-woven alpaca sweaters directly on ebay for $30-$50.
Hm, okay. I am looking at a Snow Lotus sweater, after recommendations from you, on ebay for $100, and I am waiting for measurements. If the measurements are what I am looking for, I will buy it.
