Dr Ian Mack, Chair of the West Norfolk Clinical Commissioning Group.
Andrew Papworth
Monday, January 13, 2014
A call for West Norfolk's GPs to return to providing out-of-hours care has been dashed after the chairman of the area's clinical commissioning group (CCG) said the current contract could not be broken.
North-West Norfolk MP Henry Bellingham claimed to have support from doctors for his idea of forming a consortium of practices that would share night-time rotas across the west of the county.
Sheila Young, chairman of the West Norfolk Patient Partnership, also said many of the practices she had spoken to supported the move – because it would ensure people get better care from a familiar doctor.
She added that GPs would like to take over out-of-hours care "sooner rather than later". However, Dr Ian Mack, chairman of the West Norfolk CCG – responsible for awarding the contract – said no GPs had approached him about changing tack.
He added that even if they did, the CCG could not break its current three-year contract with the East of England Ambulance Service, which started in August 2012.
Despite that, Dr Mack pointed to changes in the GP contract nationally which will take effect from April.
In particular doctors will have a new "named clinician" role, with overall responsibility for the care of vulnerable elderly patients.
Mrs Young said there were examples of where the present out-of-hours arrangement worked well, but added: "With the current out-of-hours service, you've got someone going in who is completely foreign to that situation.
"It is quite possible they would just get that person into a hospital, whereas one's own GP would go in knowing the situation and would deal with it in the home."
Mr Bellingham added that having a GP consortium providing out-of-hours care would "take a huge amount of pressure off accident and emergency".
He said: "Many doctors feel slightly anxious that they don't have control over their patients during that time."
Who do you think should be responsible for out-of-hours care in west Norfolk? Write, giving your full contact details, to: The Letters Editor, EDP, Prospect House, Rouen Road, Norwich NR1 1RE or email firstname.lastname@example.com

What the article actually says is that the contract with the ambulance service cannot be broken! Just what has that contract got to do with GP's contracts? How can this possibly be the case and , if so, who negotiated it? Is this and example of doctors, in this case in the form of the CCG, trying to protect themselves???

One further practical point, I have been informed that a local surgery now has only 5 doctors to look after almost 15,000 patients. No doubt the practice is getting paid just the same as before so financially they must be doing even better. In practice, from what I hear, it is almost impossible to get an appointment during the day which makes the prospect of out of hours care a distant pipe dream. I know someone who gave up trying after 90 minutes and went to the walk in centre who suggested she should see her GP!!!

"........dashed after the chairman of the area's clinical commissioning group (CCG) said the current contract could not be broken.". OK then. Cut their pay to suit the hours they do work. There is too much of this "greed" in the public sector at the moment. They all seem to think they are high and mighty.

CTCF is a zinc finger DNA-binding protein that regulates the epigenetic states of numerous target genes. Using allelic regulation of mouse insulin-like growth factor II (Igf2) as a model, we demonstrate that CTCF binds to the unmethylated maternal allele of the imprinting control region (ICR) in the Igf2/H19 imprinting domain and forms a long-range intrachromosomal loop to interact with the three clustered Igf2 promoters. Polycomb repressive complex 2 is recruited through the interaction of CTCF with Suz12, leading to allele-specific methylation at lysine 27 of histone H3 (H3-K27) and to suppression of the maternal Igf2 promoters. Targeted mutation or deletion of the maternal ICR abolishes this chromatin loop, decreases allelic H3-K27 methylation, and causes loss of Igf2 imprinting. RNA interference knockdown of Suz12 also leads to reactivation of the maternal Igf2 allele and biallelic Igf2 expression. CTCF and Suz12 are coprecipitated from nuclear extracts with antibodies specific for either protein, and they interact with each other in a two-hybrid system. These findings offer insight into general epigenetic mechanisms by which CTCF governs gene expression by orchestrating chromatin loop structures and by serving as a DNA-binding protein scaffold to recruit and bind polycomb repressive complexes.

03 common rail(any other wvo blenders 25%)
i am new to this forum and would like to know if anybody esle is running 25%wvo in a 3rd gen cummins? my mix is 4 gal wvo,1/2 gal rug,1/3 bottle power service,and 1oz 2-stroke oil to gal(1 quart per tank 35gal),with 30 gal #2 diesel. i have been doing this for about 5 months. i drive a lot 200-300 miles a day, at least 4 days a week. i have had no issues with this mix. i change fuel filter and engine oil at 10,000 miles, and carry a fuel filter behind my seat(never had to use it yet). i park in heated shop or plug in if outside. this summer i would like to run maby 50% wvo. any ideas???

Welcome to the forum.
Your post should have been in the "Mix it up" section which relates to fuel mixing or blending. While I am sure that you have had a promising experience with your blend, I would highly advise that you get an engine oil analysis done ASAP and follow it up with another in 3000 miles. I think that you will find that you are rapidly accelerating the wear of your engine. There were many studies done on mixing up until about 1982 when federal research funding into alternative fuels was cut, all without exception showed that mixing any more then 15% VO with diesel rapidly accelerated engine wear. To my knowledge no studies were done below 15% as any financial gain was seen to be far outweighed by the risk involved. You appear to be mixing at about 15%. Your mix in particular is an odd one, for one thing you are mixing 4 1/2 gallons into 30 gallons of diesel, a net savings of about $8 for every 805 miles driven or about 1¢ per mile savings and for that you are risking your engine life? The amount of RUG you are mixing in will definitely raise the cetane level of the mix while the 2 stroke oil will lower it, Without knowing which of the power service products you are using, I can not even speculate on what added effect this has. What I can tell you is that for me a savings of less than 1¢ per mile (I have no idea what you pay for 2 stroke oil or power service) I would not be risking a $20,000.00 + truck engine. An engine oil analysis from Blackstone labs will clear up any speculation and tell you exactly what is going on with your engine as a result of the fuel you are using, at $15 it is well worth while. PS. your engine oil change interval seems about 3 times longer than it should be...

WVO fuel blending
Hello buzzinhalfdoz , I agree with cgoodwin, it is hardly worth risking the engine on a new vehicle to experiment with bio-fuels, especially with such a small volume of fuel, as you are using. On the other hand if you were running your vehicle on a larger percentage of WVO, then the amount you saved in fuel you could probably afford to buy yourself a new engine every year. My experimental vehicle is a 1983 Chevy van with a 6.2L V-8 diesel engine in it. If I blow the engine, then I am only out $1200, and I can always get another cheap diesel to experiment on if I kill it.
Over the four years of my research into bio-fuels I have conducted numerous literature searches and participated in web-based forums on the subject of vegetable oil-based diesel fuels and solvent blending of vegetable oil for use as diesel fuel. A survey of the literature on fuel blending for burning vegetable oils in diesel engines has produced a number of titles. In most cases the research on bio-fuel blending only blended #2 diesel fuel with vegetable oil. In Using Unmodified Vegetable Oils as a Diesel Fuel Extender A Literature Review (Jones, Sam and Charles L. Peterson) the research in the 80s found every blend of vegetable oils with #2 Diesel resulted in severe piston ring gumming and catastrophic engine failure. From Korus, Jo and Peterson (1984) we find, "The most obvious problem in a short term engine test with vegetable oil blends is the formation of carbon deposits on the injector nozzles. The amount of the deposits (coking) increases in amount with the percentage of oil in the fuel blend...All vegetable oil fuel blends (tested) gave a statistically significant increase in carbon deposits relative to diesel." More recent research by LABECKAS and SLAVINSKAS (2006) we find, Oil heating to the temperature of 60 °C (140F) diminishes its viscosity to 19.5 mm2 s-1 ensuring a smooth oil flow through the fuel filter and reducing the brake specific energy consumption at light loads by 11.7-7.4%. Further heating to the temperature of 90 °C offers no advantages in terms of performance. This research suggests that heating vegetable oil prior to combustion might improve its combustion, which should reduce the coking, although it did not say so. This research also suggests heating the fuel prior to combustion plus running a blend of vegetable oil with #2 diesel fuel, might not cause severe piston ring gumming and catastrophic engine failure. It also suggests that gasoline and fuel line heating could coexist if the fuel line were not heated over 60 °C (140F). But, these research have not yet been done. What is disturbing about these researchers is not one of them have used gasoline as a thinner for vegetable oil. However, if we examine the research from THE INFLUENCE OF TURPENTINE ADDITIVE ON THE ECOLOGICAL PARAMETERS OF DIESEL ENGINES, Butkus, Pukalskas, Bogdanov (2006), we find the first research that works with blending diesel fuel with light solvents. In this case it is turpentine. Here we can come to some conclusions based upon the summary of their research that might apply to blending solvents with oils. Butkus, Pukalskas, Bogdanov (2006) Conclude: 1. Addition of 5 % of lighter fuel fractions to diesel fuel reduced engine exhaust smoke by 10 20 % in both Diesel engines. 2. Turpentine easily form mixtures (without any supplements) with diesel fuel. 3. Decrease of specific fuel consumption for diesel fuel blends with 5 % of turpentine was caused by faster evaporation and combustion of the blend particles as compared with pure diesel fuel. 4. Small amount of turpentine additive to diesel fuel would increase the cost of the fuel blend only by 3 5 %. Their first conclusion suggests that any light fraction, when added to a vegetable oil might reduce the coking problem of burning vegetable oil blends. It also suggests that other solvents might have the same result as turpentine at reducing engine exhaust smoke, especially when added to vegetable oil, as long as it meets the criteria of the second conclusion of easily forming mixtures without residues. And, since other solvents, such as: acetone, MEK and gasoline, easily form mixtures (without any supplements) with vegetable oil then it could very well be true that a reduction of exhaust smoke and engine coking for these oils and fats might occur, when blended with solvents. Also, since quite a few people who blend gasoline or kerosene with vegetable oil (see below), find greater power and fuel economy than one would expect if one were to just add up the BTUs of the components in such a blend, then the third conclusion suggests that adding solvents, such as: gasoline or kerosene to vegetable oil causes faster evaporation and combustion of the blend particles as compared with pure vegetable oil. However, this conclusion sounds theoretical and not experimental. The other possible mechanism might be a hypothetical decrease of surface tension by adding a light fraction that might improve atomization of the base fuel, which is in this case vegetable oil. However, the fourth conclusion would not hold true for gasoline as a solvent, because it is cheaper than diesel fuel. You may find the following summary of research on VO-based fuel blends informative: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/veggie...rs/message/144 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/veggie...rs/message/145 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/veggie...rs/message/146 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/veggie...rs/message/147 |

Labour leader Ed Miliband at conference
By Richard Porritt
Thursday, October 4, 2012
One nation under Labour and Ed Miliband?
Has a strange ring to it, yet that is the pitch – and it will have the Conservatives worried.
Last time Labour pitched up firmly in the centre they scored a landslide. But is this really a return to blue Labour?
The Eds – Balls and Miliband – began their party's conference with a firm kick up the bracket to the unions.
Then it was another familiar mantra of "education, education, education …" – deja vu?
But with the Labour leader using the phrase "one nation" – a favourite Tory buzz term made famous by Benjamin Disraeli – it is clear Mr Miliband is planning a shift or at least wants certain people to think he is.
His speech was delivered with blistering bravura. It has finally moved Mr Miliband from super geek to real contender.
Forget the polls. Labour insiders are pleased with their party's lead over the Tories but the British electorate has a habit of plumping for the devil they know best in tight election races. And although many of the top brass were not around in 1992 that stinging defeat still looms large.
Mr Miliband's 65-minute speech made Nick Clegg's a week earlier look like an awful, cringe-worthy bestman's effort. He recognized that this was the time to step up as a leader and pile the pressure on the coalition. And he did just that.
His justification for the "one nation" phrase was that the Prime Minister had forfeited his own "we are all in this together" mantra because of his performance at the helm.
But the real reason he used it was even simpler and will send a collective chill down Tory spines: "I am coming after your voters Mr Cameron."
But there were no gasps from the unions when Mr Miliband began to lean more to the centre. Earlier in the week they had their guns trained on the two Eds over pay restraint with Unite general secretary Len McCluskey saying: "'A public spending squeeze while the City continues to let rip is simply not acceptable."
But the spat appears to have been put aside with Mr McCluskey singing Mr Miliband's praises after his speech hailing it a "tour de force" and predicting he is a "prime minister in waiting". What backroom deal has been done to garner such praise?
It appears that before the leader's speech the Eds and the unions were already holding crisis talks. A motion to attack the the pair over public pay was watered down at the last minute to save the leader's blushes.
So Mr Miliband might well be sounding like a Third Way politician this week but this is no Clause IV moment. Mr Miliband is not about to embrace the centre – and even the right – in the manner Mr Blair did.
No – it will be less an embrace and more a high five.
But Mr Miliband is more likely to get the keys to No. 10 if he gets comfortable in the centre somewhere. Britain no longer votes for parties with exclusively left or right policies – modern politics succeeds only in the centre.
Many would say Third Way politics failed with Tony Blair and Bill Clinton yet Mr Cameron adopted it wholeheartedly. He reached out beyond the obvious Tory voter – remember him hugging hoodies and even huskies?
'Red' Ed Miliband was never actually that red. We have not seen many Labour policies yet but they are not going to include a bid for common ownership of land or the nationalisation of major industry.
But swing voters who probably went for Mr Blair and then backed Mr Cameron were not convinced by Mr Miliband – and they will remain sceptical. But he is at least making the first steps towards that magical position where people from across the class divide are willing to side with your party.
Witham Tory MP Priti Patel is confident Mr Miliband is still not the political beast her boss is.
Speaking to East meets Westminster, she said: "The speech lacked substance and sent a clear message that their answer to our economic woes is to tax, tax and tax some more – more failed economics from Labour.
"His pitch to the centre ground was baseless as his party are too hung up on class war.
"The Prime Minister can do better than Ed Miliband as he has a record of achievement in government to show and the ability to articulate how, through Conservative values, he is changing the country so that it is more on the side of the hard working, law-abiding majority – those who want to get on in life."
She makes a fair point about the lack of policies but Mr Cameron's advisers are not quite as confident. Now they and the Prime Minister have a decision to make on Mr Miliband's grab for the centre. And it could not have come at a worse time for a party being dragged right by powerful backbenchers.
So does Mr Cameron make a grab of his own for the voters who took him to Downing Street? Or should he just make light of the suggestion Labour is the party of the centre ground?
Whatever the decision he needs to be on top form when the Tories gather in Birmingham next week for their conference.
Labour has enjoyed a strong week and Mr Miliband will head back down the M1 pleased with himself.
He chose his words carefully but now he will have to choose his actions even more so. Mr Miliband is appearing more prime ministerial but the public want policies.
Now the really hard work starts.

Current Time
Concierge.com's insider take:
"Sukhothai" means "dawn of happiness," and the Sukhothai period (1238–1376) was the golden age of Thai art and architecture. The Zen atmosphere at this refined 210-room hotel draws on both definition and history. Low pavilions, designed in a clean, angular style that would have impressed the staunchest Bauhaus devotees, are separated by pools with lotus flowers floating on the surface and tropical gardens. Accommodations are equally tranquil with Thai silk fabrics in airy silvers, golds and greens, teak paneling, and huge mirrored bathrooms. All 82 suites are technologically tricked-out with iPod connections, Wi-Fi, and flat-screen LCD TV's. The hotel's well-regarded Celadon restaurant specializes in Thai cuisine, like Yam Huaplee, a banana blossom salad that the chef tosses with poached prawns and serves with a side of jasmine rice. In 2006, designer Ed Tuttle came back to give the Colonnade restaurant, known for its international and Asian cuisine, a modern facelift with high ceilings, smooth lines, and large windows overlooking a shallow pool with stupas. There are also international and Italian restaurants on-site and the Lumpini station subway is within walking distance.

I'm not familiar with the Total Drama cartoon, although it shouldn't surprise me that, with SO many "reality" competition shows on TV, there's an animated parody version.
Now, just like the "real" shows do, favorite characters from past seasons are being reunited to compete again in Total Drama All-Stars, debuting on Cartoon Network September 10 as the first of this 13-episode season.
Judging from the promos, like the one below, this will make more sense to viewers of previous episodes, but I like the blocky design with the thick black character definition lines. And the theme song, which sums it all up by repeating "I wanna be famous."
The premiere episode, based on the screener I saw, explains everything and introduces the cast, including who likes whom and what the challenge will be. There are even inserts of the characters talking to the camera and elimination ceremonies, just like Survivor.
I do wonder… we still watch cartoons made up to 70 years ago without caring that we don't recognize the settings or references. How will viewers in 30 years react to something like this? Kids always remember the favorites of their childhood, regardless of how situational they are.
Nice to see this series getting some promotion. I love it!
Interestingly, it looks like the USA is getting this season several months before Canada (it is a Canadian series, so it usually shows in Canada first, then the USA).
Huh I'll have to give this a look, as I liked the first 2 seasons quite a bit. (it spoofed the worst of reality shows cleverly)
I preferred the 6teen animated show that came out at about the same time more, but this was good.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Marco Polo carrier ship, at nearly 1,300 feet hailed as Leviathan of the Ocean
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
December 10th, 2012 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) The world's largest ship, the CMA CGM Marco Polo, at nearly 1,300 feet rolled into Great Britain's Southampton this week. The ship is the size of four football fields, five times the size of an average airbus, and longer than even the Queen Mary 2, the Marco Polo came bearing gifts for the U.K. from the Far East. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Full of stacks of steel containers, the boat was loaded with everything from televisions to soft furnishings and power tools to clothing. After unloading her cargo, the Marco Polo will set sail for Hamburg, Germany.CMA CGM Group's senior vice-president of Asia-Europe Lines Nicolas Sartini said the company launched the South Korea-built ship 'with great pride.' Managing Director of DP World Southampton Chris Lewis said the Marco Polo's arrival marked "the latest milestone" in the terminal's history. "With the container industry changing, these new giants of the sea will soon be regulars at the terminal," Lewis said. Southampton Port director Doug Morrison proudly proclaimed that "We have now placed ourselves on the map as a terminal capable of handling the world's largest container ship. "We have all the right ingredients to continue being one of the most productive terminals in Northern Europe." Marco Polo is the first of the next generation of super-vessels destined to keep the wheels of international trade turning. The Marco Polo even dwarfs the nuclear-powered French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, Western Europe's largest warship. The ship can carry more than 16,020 containers on her vast decks. The new ship boasts a variety of environmentally-friendly technologies, such as an electronically-controlled engine that allows reduced fuel consumption. The Marco Polo's CO2 emissions are much lower than the average cargo ship and a ballast water treatment system helps to prevent pollution. It's all part of an international trend. The size of container vessels over the past 20 years has steadily increased. The average container in the Eighties carried just 1,600 containers. The Marco Polo alone has increased that number tenfold. Before the latest giant of the waves arrived on the scene, the Emma Maersk, which was built in 2006 and capable of carrying 15,550 containers, held the title of the world's largest container ship. The Marco Polo might not hold on to her prestigious title for very long -- another two container ships of similar size, each also named after famous explorers, are set to follow Marco Polo next year and will be capable of carrying a massive 18,000 containers.

Game Informer just revealed the cover for its July issue and it is nothing short of juicy. Okay. It's not that juicy. I don't know why I said that…
According to GI's coverage, the new game is to be called Gears of War: Judgment and the July cover will come in two variants. Each depicts the Locust raging in the background as one of our favorite Gears is being led away in chains. The "choice" of prisoner is either Damon Baird of Augustus "Cole Train" Cole, and speaking from personal experience those guys were always my favorite characters anyway.
I mean, if you're gonna go over the top, you might as well go all the way and I'd say Baird and Cole are about as "all the way" as you can reasonably go.
According to the article, this game is expected to be officially revealed at Microsoft's E3 press conference this Monday and will be (of course) an Xbox 360 exclusive. You can check Game Informer's site on Monday for a slew of new coverage and content surrounding this title and of course the magazine itself will be hitting shelves and mailboxes very soon. Check after the break for the cover images.

How Sweet It Isn't: The Splenda Controversy
Sugar Queens keepin' it real |
Think again, my friends. A study published in late September of last year by Duke University researchers found that the sugar substitute Splenda, found in a host of low-sugar and sugar-free foods, has issues. Like, for example, it may destroy the "good" bacteria in your intestines (you know, the ones you've desperately tried to promote by eating lots of yogurt?) -- the bacteria that helps keep you free of intestinal ailments. Splenda may also prevent certain medications from being absorbed, like AIDS drugs and chemo. Lastly, and most ironically, Splenda may actually CONTRIBUTE to obesity rather than helping you lose weight. The report was published in the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health. Read more about the findings here. Citizens for Health is petitioning the FDA to do a full review.

Natacha Seijas Files Lawsuit to Block Recall Election
Commissioner Natacha Seijas |
When billionaire Norman Braman first hinted at the idea of funding recall efforts after Alvarez and the commission voted to hike property taxes, he toyed with the idea of targeting commissioners as well. Braman ultimately only targeted Alvarez (the date for his recall election should be soon), but political group Miami Voice took up the call to urge a recall of commissioners. Seijas was their only success.
Under law, four percent of the registered voters in a Miami-Dade elected official's constituency must sign a petition to trigger a recall election. The petitions to recall Seijas were sent to Clerk of Courts Harvey Ruvin just before the Holidays, and Seijas is claiming there's no way he could have certified all of the signatures in such a short time during the Holiday season. She has hired attorneys specializing in fighting recall elections to represent her in the legal battle.
Seijas is also thought to be trying desperately to have her recall election, if one should be set, and that of Alvarez's set on separate dates. The high profile recall of Alvarez would likely drive many change-minded, angry voters to the polls, hurting Seijas' chances to survive the recall.
Seijas had already survived one recall attempt back in 2006.

Fragrant RhododendronsScientific name: Rhododendron cv. Fragrantissimum Author: Unknown Family: Ericaceae |
LocationCome to the Plant Explorers Walk where the air is filled with scent and in beds EW120 and EW121 you will encounter some of the contributors. Rhododendron cv. Fragrantissimum is a primary hybrid raised before 1868 using the species Rhododendron edgeworthii and Rhododendron formosum. By comparison we have Rhododendron edgeworthii growing a little further down the path and up-slope you will find Rhododendron cv. Princess Alice that shares one parent and is often considered a hardier though slightly less fragrant alternative to our featured plant. Rhododendron formosum can be found in the area between the Barbecue Lawn and the Proteaceae section. |
Planted in 1984, our Fragrantissimum specimens flower well each year. Wise placement, such as on this south-facing slope, will assist with providing the preferred cool root-run and minimise watering requirements. |

By Cristina Carrillo De Albornoz. Museums, Issue 229, November 2011Published online: 02 November 2011
AVILÉS. Only nine months after its official opening, the prestigious, €45m Centro Cultural Internacional Oscar Niemeyer in Avilés, northern Spain, was forced to close last month, following a row between regional politicians and the arts centre's board of trustees. Affectionately known as "El Niemeyer", the centre was designed by the veteran Brazilian architect, after whom it is named, in his signature style (The Art Newspaper, November 2010, pp42-43). In an open letter, Niemeyer (aged 103) expressed his sadness at the political battle raging over the centre, and his solidarity with its director, Natalio Grueso.
Regime changeThe regional government of Asturias provided the funds to build the centre and pledged 20% towards its annual budget. Following elections in May, the new president of the region, Alvarez Cascos, commissioned a report into the centre's finances. Before the audit was completed, his colleague, the region's new head of culture, Emilio Marcos Vallaure, reported that "serious financial irregularities" had been identified, alleging that invoices for various expenses, such as drinks and cigarettes, were missing.Grueso rejected the allegations, saying that expenses were justified, criticised the announcement before the audit was made public, and called the accusations "irresponsible and nonsense". José Luis Rebollo, the secretary and lawyer of the Fundación Niemeyer, which manages the centre, has said that the foundation will take legal action against the regional government.While the stand-off continues, 4,000-strong crowds of demonstrators have expressed their support for the centre on every last Sunday of the month since late September.Pilar Varela, the vice-president of the Niemeyer Centre, who is also mayor of Avilés, says: "All the [alleged] irregularities are totally incorrect. There is an explanation for each of the issues at hand." She says that the uncertainty surrounding the centre has resulted in an €600,000 loss in income. Varela, together with the president of the Niemeyer Centre, Manuel Díaz, are in talks with the regional government. Unless a breakthrough is achieved, the centre could remain dark until April 2012, with only limited public access to the complex. The centre's complicated governance structure has not helped the situation. The board brought in Díaz to head the foundation in June to make the body more independent and avoid political interference. Spanish-born Díaz brought his experience in the music industry and a host of high-level contacts, including Mexican tycoon Carlos Slim. The regional government is unhappy with Díaz's appointment and wants to replace him with someone of its choice.The Niemeyer Centre has a governance structure including representatives from the Fundación Niemeyer, national, regional and local politicians, and trustees drawn from business and art world personalities. The board has 16 members, three of whom represent the regional government, a number it wants to increase. Another contentious issue is the lease of the building, which is owned by the regional government, to the Niemeyer Foundation. A lease was signed before the election for one year and is due to expire next month. However, the former government and the board were in negotiations to extend the lease for 50 years. In an about-face, Vallaure is refusing to undertake this commitment, calling it "unfeasible". He maintains that the building belongs to the whole region and not just to the institution. The institution's programme is another source of disagreement. Vallaure, the former director of the Museum of Fine Arts of Oviedo, has called it a "non-culture" programme that relies on "spectacle". He is unimpressed by exhibitions including Julian Schnabel's photography, on the grounds that he is mainly a painter, and has called the actor Jessica Lange's photography "amateur". He has also criticised film director Carlos Saura's exhibition on "Light". Díaz says that the centre can carry on without the economic contribution of the regional government, "and in some years [will] be self-sufficient". Angeles González-Sinde, Spain's minister of culture, has offered to act as an intermediary between the regional government and the foundation. But so far there has been no agreement after two tense meetings. Another is planned for December.

Good description of the field. I would, however, take issue with one aspect of the narrative: analysts who -- as this document suggests -- like details and focus on technology make good IT analysts, but not necessarily "information" systems analysts. Instead, I would suggest that the analyst who, although being conversant in the basics of technology, is more focused on the broad flow of organizations, personnel, information flows and processes, may make better analysts in the information field.
The information systems analyst must understand that "system" refers not only--and perhaps not primarily--to computer systems and their supporting technology, but instead refers to the entire collection of human, organizational, process-related, cost and funding factors that go to make up complex business operations.
While technology will inevitably become an important part of these broad system flows, it should be viewed in a supporting role to the more important functional aspects of the system being considered.

Australia has a new Prime Minister and she's a woman!
She has a boyfriend - but she has been vilified for - amongst many other things - not having children ('she is deliberately barren!' shrieked one of the loonier right wing Senators) and having a kitchen that is too tidy (I kid you not).

viennesewaltz: Took it down as I just don't have the time to maintain it. Too much leg work involved - and too many changes to keep up with. There is an Austrian link that I will post on VV.

Silly me! I hadn't seen the link to the soccer.
Last night on 7.30 Report Julia performed very well, Jim and I thought. And she ended the interview by saying to K.O'B. that it had been a great day for redheads! At which, he blushed!
And Annabel Crabb tweeted:
I think Ms Gillard might be Australias first unmarried PM. Anyone think of another that I have missed?
And no one disputed that claim.
Hope you're right about friends in the sky... - June 24, 2010 at 4:54 PM

Mrs Woog: Our Julia has better taste than that.
SK Waller: We have our own breed of rednecks.Just the same as yours but with funny accents.
Maalie: That would not be hard.
I did not see the result -but I can imagine it. I can al;so imagine the finale series result - 5-0 to England. Apparently Australia forgot to bring any batsmen OR bowlers.
Annie; She is a top sort and will be terrific. - June 24, 2010 at 6:05 PM

Australia's Julia Gillard is smokin' hot. And single (or not married)? Wowzers! As we say in the US: I'd tap that.

After Norway massacre: Will this country ever be the same?
A view from the secretary general of the Council of Europe, a former prime minister of Norway: I am often asked what will happen in Norway now. At first, I answered that it will stay an open society. But we need to become more aware of what terrorism is, where it comes from, and how we speak about it.
Since the July 22 terrorist attacks in Oslo and Utoya island by confessed perpetrator Anders Behring Breivik, countless foreign media have sought my opinion. They all ask the same questions: What will happen in Norway now? Will we be able to recognize Norway after this? Could something similar happen in other countries?
At first, I answered that Norway will continue to be an open society characterized by tolerance and the fight for human rights and peace. I still believe this.
But as I learned more about the terrorist, I began to add that I also hoped Norway would not be recognizable in quite the same way.
We need to become more aware of what terrorism is, where it comes from, and not least, how we speak about it.
It should be possible, for example, to no longer refer to terrorism committed by Muslims as "Islamic terrorism." No one would dream of calling Mr. Breivik a "Christian terrorist," just because he has described himself as Christian. We have never called the terrorism of the IRA in Northern Ireland "Christian."
When it comes to Muslims, however, their actions are immediately associated with Islam as a religion. The term radical Islam has flourished in Norwegian debate. Does Breivik represent radical Christianity?

Sad news for Sarah, the CBS has cancelled The Crazy Ones =(
I'll have the season finale caps up soon.
Sarah Michelle Gellar Uses Her Fame for Good
Sarah Michelle Gellar is used to walking the red carpet and fielding reporters' questions about everything from what she's wearing to her latest role, but the actress decided it was time to change things up and be the one asking all the questions at the 2014 Film Independent Spirit Awards.
As part of the Unilever Project Sunlight campaign, Gellar interviewed stars like Cate Blanchett, Matthew McConaughey, and Jane Lynch — not about hair, clothes, and jewelry — but about what they're doing to make the world a better, more sustainable place.
The actress, 36, talked to Parade.com about her vision for a bright future, motherhood, trading quips with Robin Williams on The Crazy Ones, and more.
How was your experience as a red carpet reporter?
"It was such an interesting opportunity. That whole [awards] weekend is such a strange weekend in Los Angeles. I like to think I live in the real world and we have the situation in Ukraine and the awful weather that's ben happening, and yet all these celebrities are walking down the carpet talking about their nails in the manicure cam, and I think there are a lot of us that have so much more to offer. Cate Blanchett had to talk about her dress and jewelry all weekend, but she was so excited to get to talk to us about living sustainably and providing a better future. She has three children, so she gets it."What made you want to get involved with Project Sunlight?
"I love what I do and it's really fun, but let's be honest, I'm not curing cancer here as an actress! And if there's something I can do to better the world we live in than that's my real purpose. I have two children and my children are going to have children one day hopefully, and we need to protect the world for them and living sustainably is really the only way to do that. We're all just one person, but when you put us together it's a pretty incredible group."How has motherhood changed you?
"I think you look at the world differently. The one thing I say to people when they're about to have children is that you go from you being the primary thought in your life to every single second of every day, you're thinking about these other beings, whether you have one child or six children."What are some ways you live sustainably?
"I try to buy locally sustainably food, I've always recycled, and one of the first things I did when I moved to Los Angeles was to start a garden so I could grow my own vegetables and eat them. My daughter also has a garden and she grows all her own vegetables. They started show-and-tell at her school and when I asked her what she wanted to bring, she said, 'I want to bring vegetables from my garden and let all my friends eat them!'"You also recently wrapped the first season of The Crazy Ones. How has that experience been?
"It was so incredible. I've been doing this a long time, but I've never had an experience like this. I was able to have my fulltime outside life, separate from what I do, and then come to work and be creative with some of the kindest, nicest, most talented people I've ever come across in this business. It's been such a joy and I pray we can have this conversation after I wrap season 10!"How do you get through takes with such a funny cast?
"It's impossible not to laugh. I keep joking that one day we'll release a crazy DVD of just bloopers. I think it would be hysterical."Robin Williams plays your dad on the show. What has it been like working with him?
"I went into it and I'm thinking, 'Ok, here I am working with Robin Williams, the legend — Juilliard-trained, Oscar winner, one of the top 10n standup comics of all time, but what's amazing about Robin is that he has no idea that that's how people see him. He's just Robin. He's Uncle Robin to my children and to my husband. He treats everybody on set with the same respect and he goes out of his way to make everybody comfortable. He's the kindest. There are not enough words to describe the love and adoration that I have for this man."You recently snapped a photo with your Buffy the Vampire Slayer costar, David Boreanaz and his Bones costar Emily Deschanel. What's the story there?
"There's a connection that David and I will always have and we've always remained in touch, but what was so much fun this year was we were working on the same lot, so when I had a break I would walk over and watch them tape a show or try to steal food from Bones catering because they had way better catering than we did. I guess that's a tenth season kind of thing. And David knows I'm purely motivated by food!"

Day care shuts down amid abuse allegations
Thursday, January 23, 2014
LYMAN — A local child care center and preschool has shut its doors amid allegations of child abuse from several parents and former staff members, some going back more than 1½ years.
A recorded video showed a staff member at the child care center yell at a child, then pick the child up by one arm and put the child in another part of the room. The same employee was observed on another occasion ignoring — for several minutes — a crying toddler who had just been dropped off by his/her mother.
But despite the results of the investigation, DHHS did not shut down Sunshine Childcare. Instead, the department gave the Duboises a conditional license, valid for one year, and listed 14 conditions that they and the facility must meet and references a time frame for meeting the conditions.
DHHS conducted an investigation of the center which was completed June 30, 2012.
Bachelder said she was "completely blindsided" by the department's stance on not notifying parents of incidents and said she will continue to work to change the policy.

But now, fresh off his successful effort to repeal DADT, Joe Lieberman thinks he's back, baby, and he wants to run as a Democrat, reports Brian Beutler: "Some of my colleagues in the Democratic caucus have been very gracious and kind saying they hope I run as a Democrat," he told TPM in an interview Wednesday.

oh, I found heaps of mistakes in HOTS:
-Buba was always a female owl in the Witches series, but suddenly they're using "him and "he"
-Goblin was always a female but in HOTS, Kate uses "it" to refer to her at least five or six times.
-Maisie was not the cunning man's daughter, he was her GRANDDAUGHTER.
Okay, maybe I am nitpicking (specially about the last one) but whats with forgetting the sex of Buba and Goblin?

Agreed! :)
I noticed how some characters were being referred to as 'he' instead of 'she' too...
There were also a few spelling mistakes as well but I guess when it comes right down to it, it is a WONDERFUL series
I have just finished re-reading HOTS again and I am seriously thinking of going right back to the beginning (again!) and start over with Dragonclaw (again!)
Has anyone ever found anything quite like this series by another author? If Kate is only thinking about the continuation of the series, it would be nice to get a hold of something similar to keep me going until the new books are released

"Fail Harder"
Wieden + Kennedy 12, an experimental advertising school run by Portland ad agency W+K, is responsible for buying out all available clear push pins on the west coast of the US. Over 100,000 thumbtacks were used over 351 hours to create a wall mural that spells out Fail Harder, a message that underlines the importance of failure during the creative process. The mural is open for viewing one night only, July 6th. Is it art? Not necessarily, but the message is a valuable one. Plus, the mural is modern, contemporary and shows off a great medium.

One is fun, but twice is nice.
That's the theme surrounding the series between the Orlando Magic and Atlanta Hawks, as they face off in the playoffs for a second consecutive year.
Last season in the 2010 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals, the Magic swept the Hawks by an average margin of victory of 25 points — the worst four-game sweep in league history. However, the tables turned as Atlanta was able to win the season series against Orlando, losing once in their four head-to-head meetings.
What changed? With head coach Larry Drew making the decision to start Jason Collins at center, that's allowed the Hawks to defend Dwight Howard one-on-one while also defending the Magic's shooters on the perimeter. Also, the trickle-down effect of starting Collins at center has allowed Atlanta to play Al Horford at the power forward position and Josh Smith at small forward, which has created mismatches in their favor, given that they're being defended by the likes of Brandon Bass, Ryan Anderson, and Hedo Turkoglu. Unfortunately for Orlando, Horford is too strong and skilled for either Bass or Anderson, while Smith is too athletic for Turkoglu. On the flipside, Horford is more than capable of defending Bass or Anderson on the perimeter, while Smith has the luxury of being a menace on the weak-side since he isn't being dragged to the three-point line by Turkoglu as much as he was when Rashard Lewis was matched up against him.
Yes, things are different this time around and even though the Hawks' efficiency differential is -1.4, which isn't good, they have the personnel that will challenge the Magic much more than they did last year. It should be an interesting series to watch unfold.
A few days ago, I was able to ask Bret LaGree of Hoopinion a few questions to preview the first round of the 2011 NBA Playoffs between the Orlando Magic and the Atlanta Hawks.
Given what occurred last season, how might the matchup between the Magic and Hawks be different this time around?
It's really hard to lose four playoff games by 101 cumulative points. Only been done once! I don't think either team is as good as they were last season which should make things more competitive even if the difference between the two teams is similar. This assumes it takes one really good team to create an historic margin of victory and, as teams are pulled together closer toward mediocrity they, by their very nature, become more evenly matched even as the quality of basketball declines.
There's been a lot of chatter surrounding Jason Collins' ability to slow down Dwight Howard one-on-one in the low post and allow Atlanta to stay at home on the perimeter against Orlando's shooters, but can he do it in a seven-game series?
Probably not. His health is an open and fair question. Now, if any player in the league can play through a sprained ankle, it's Jason Collins. His whole contribution, at this point, is centered around his own immobility.
I'm not much for armchair psychology providing insight into much of anything but I suspect that Dwight Howard isn't thrilled with the chatter regarding Jason Collins' ability to slow him down. Since Dwight Howard is very good and eliminating Jason Collins from the series mostly involves drawing fouls on him and Collins committed a foul every six minutes this season and every five minutes against the Magic, that seems a plausible strategy for success over a seven-game series for Howard.
Although the Magic are favored in the series, they're certainly vulnerable compared to last year. What elements have to be in the Hawks' favor for them to spring the upset?
Larry Drew has, at least on some level, accepted that the Hawks, with their penchant for taking long two-point jump shots, are never going to score consistently against the Magic and has gone all-in defensively. Jason Collins banging 20 minutes a game against Dwight Howard is important in and of itself but it's also given Drew the confidence to keep Al Horford on the floor against Orlando.
Remember Mike Woodson's moment of strategic brilliance in Game 1 of last year's series? Take Al Horford out less than half-way through the first quarter and then put him back in as soon as Gortat enters the game. Except Stan Van Gundy had Dwight Howard play the first 21 minutes of the game, the Magic were up 16 when Howard got his first rest, and, even after Woodson realized what was happening, Horford still ended up playing less than 15 minutes of the first half of an eventual 43-point loss.
Josh Smith also deserves credit for his improved defense when moved out to play the 3 this season. It remains to be seen if his sprained knee will allow him to continue in that vein at this point of the season, though it's also difficult to imagine that he could be physically able to play and unable to keep Hedo Turkoglu in front of him.
There's a lot of matchup changes between Orlando and Atlanta compared to last season but Jameer Nelson, in particular, had a field day against Mike Bibby. How will Kirk Hinrich's presence change things?
Mike Bibby could get beat by a step on the first step. Mike Bibby did not get through a screen. Ever. His poor defense put extreme pressure on a team that only plays a couple of quality defenders (Josh Smith and Al Horford) often and almost always has at least one other terrible perimeter defender (Joe Johnson or Jamal Crawford) on the court.
Kirk Hinrich isn't the defender he was three or five years ago but his remaining defensive ability, combined with his superior size and quickness (compared to Bibby) allows Smith and Horford either to defend their own men or help elsewhere as needed rather than having to pay attention to where Mike Bibby is and where his man left him on every single defensive possession. It may change, but, as of yet, opponents just haven't been as relentless in attacking Johnson or Crawford as they were Bibby. The Hawks still aren't, despite their able frontcourt, a good defensive team but they are somewhat more difficult to break down in Bibby's absence. Especially if Jeff Teague gets minutes as Hinrich's backup. If the Hawks get their wish and every game of this series is played around 80 points, that'll have some value to them.
I like to thank Bret for taking the time to answer my questions.
