How long do you usually wash your hands?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on December 18, 2007
"About seven seconds, or as quickly as possible so I can get back to work."
"Like 20 seconds. I've heard you're supposed to sing 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star,' but I just wash them until I'm done."
"Until I can finish singing 'Happy Birthday.'"
"Probably like 10. I know you're supposed to sing the 'Happy Birthday' song while you wash them, but I don't."

Lately, a lot longer than I used to! Then, I wipe down all the counters with sanitizing wipes, then Purell the heck out of my hands. (I'm not really a mental case...just trying to keep some people healthy.) :) OK, maybe I'm also a mental case...

I once saw a sign that said, "Employees must wash your hands." I waited for a while, but no employee ever showed up to wash my hands; I was disappointed.

Since I started wearing a Level 5 Containment suit all day every day, I only wash my hands when I remove the suit before going to bed.

R_I, I'm not saying we needn't wash our hands; I'm just saying maybe we've gotten a bit too germophobic. I was in a restaurant today, and they had the State of Michigan's hand washing guidelines posted (primarily intended for employees, I think), and the guidelines were such that if they were followed seriously, you could find yourself washing your hands upwards of 20 times a day. I just can't shake the feeling that we're trying to make the world just a little bit too clean.

I wash them until they can be made no cleaner in that session, then rinse until soap residue can no longer be felt. Some washings take longer than others.

Media Blackout: GAO Says Obama's Welfare Waivers Illegal
On Sept. 4, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) made a startling assertion saying that Obama circumvented the law when he summarily waived the work requirements in the welfare law. Perhaps not as shocking, to date, few news outlets seem interested in the story.
In its Sept. 4 letter, the GAO found that Health and Human Services (HHS) should have formally submitted a letter of its intent to make the changes to Congress and the Comptroller General before any waivers can be legally issued.
The letter also said that the GAO had not determined if HHS had the legal right to even make such waivers available. The GAO is basically saying that the Obama administration is breaking the law with its waivers.
But, according to a review of the shocking news of the GAO's determination, neither CNN, nor CBS, nor ABC have bothered to report the story.
For their part, Republicans and GOP nominee Mitt Romney have maintained that Obama's gutting of the work requirements in the welfare law was an illicit move.
Former U.S. Representative Ron Haskins, who helped pass the work requirements back in 1996, feels that Obama acted improperly by summarily changing the rules without going through Congress saying, "But [HHS] didn't even consult with the Republicans. They knew the spirit of the law, and they violated that."
Ways and Means Committee Chairman, Representative Dave Camp, agrees with Haskins. Camp says that the move was an "end run" around Congress.
Obama, however, has defended his move even going so far as to claim that it was several Republican Governors that requested the change.
At least one governor refuted the claim, though, saying his office was only asking what the rules were for waivers but that he had yet to actually request any.

Review: Dvorak/Tchaikovsky
Gil Shaham
Tchaikovsky's Piano Trio is a masterpiece of the genre. The finest modern recording has been on BIS with Freddy Kempf a master of the moments of rhetoric in the first movement, and matching his excellent colleagues in warmth besides offering much digital brilliance in the delicate passagework. That's challenged now by Yefim Bronfman's commanding contribution in this new recording; he's equally bold and strong in the bolder moments of the opening Pezzo elegiac and his unforced virtuosity is as memorable- sample his dazzlingly delicate fingerwork in the third variation of the second movement, while his playing of the theme on which these kalaiedescopic variations are based has a most engaging simplicity.
Gil Shaham and Truls Mork are just as warm and sensitive, spacious and charismatic, especially in the quicksilver finale which moves from resolute and con fuoco to a very touching closing Andante lugubre. The recording is fully worthy of the playing, with the balance allowing the piano to dominate where necessary but never overwhelming the strings.
The snag is it has no coupling, while BIS offers an impressive account of Rachmaninov's G minor Trio elegiaque and the new Supraphon CD by the Smetana Trio has Dvorak's G minor Second Piano Trio with its warmy appealing Largo, delicious Scherzo and finale played with an idiomatic lightness of touch. The Smetana performance of the Tchaikovsky is also a fine one, rather more intimately balanced than its competitors, and with its pianist, although well placed in the integrated overall sound picture, less dominant. The variations are given a strong forward pulse and plenty of character. The disc is enjoyable throughout, if not a first choice for the Tchaikovsky.

TORONTO - Kevin O'Leary is leaving the CBC after five years as co-host of "The Lang & O'Leary Exchange" to join rival network CTV.
Bell Media, which runs CTV, said O'Leary officially begins Sept. 1 and will appear on a number of television shows including "Canada AM," "eTalk," "The Marilyn Denis Show" and "The Social."
He will also provide commentary on BNN, Bell's financial news channel, and be heard on radio stations 580 CFRA, CJAD 800 and Newstalk 1010.
O'Leary began his television career on BNN and left the network for CBC in 2009 to launch "The Lang & O'Leary Exchange" on the public broadcaster with Amanda Lang.
The duo debated the top business stories of the day, with Lang often providing the opposing view to O'Leary's staunch support of free markets.
The public broadcaster announced O'Leary's departure in a news release late Monday.
O'Leary had made a name for himself as an investor and businessman before becoming a television personality. Earlier this year, he said he was leaving the CBC reality series "Dragons' Den" to focus on his role on ABC's version of the show, "Shark Tank."
His remarks on "The Lang & O'Leary Exchange" occasionally sparked controversy, such as when he called an Oxfam report that showed the 85 richest people in the world had the same wealth as the 3.5 billion poorest people "fantastic news."
O'Leary, 60, called the public broadcaster "a national treasure" in a statement released Monday.
"I'm proud to have been part of its expanding role as a place where ideas that matter to Canadians can be debated from all sides," he said.
"At the CBC, I've had the opportunity to work with world-class producers and journalists, particularly Amanda Lang, with whom I enjoyed having so many intriguing and lively discussions over the years."
Bell Media president Kevin Crull welcomed O'Leary to the network on Tuesday.
"Kevin is an engaging personality whose savvy advice and strong business acumen will be of great interest to our viewers and listeners," he said.
O'Leary said he's excited to return to Bell Media and looks forward to "working with some of Canada's finest producers to maintain the dialogue about capitalism, entrepreneurialism, and family finance that we need to have as a nation."
The CBC is facing ongoing budget struggles due to federal budget cuts, flagging television advertising revenues and the loss of hockey rights to Rogers Media.
After announcing in April that 657 jobs would be cut due to a $130 million shortfall, the public broadcaster revealed last month that another 1,000 to 1,500 positions would be eliminated over the next five years.
The network said Lang would take the helm of a new business program replacing "The Lang & O'Leary Exchange" this fall.

Ouda previously testified that Jafar Lazim Eshkaya al-Timimi, a captain in the presidential guard, and lieutenant Amin Karim, his nephew who also previously served in the unit, had masterminded and carried out the robbery.
'On the run'
Al-Timimi and his nephew were among four men being tried in absentia for the robbery but who were not sentenced at Wednesday's hearing.
The judge said: "There will be another court convened for those who ran away ... if they are not arrested, there will be a further court hearing in absentia."
Armed men broke into the state-run Rafidain Bank on July 28, killing three guards who were on duty and five others on the premises, according to investigators.
About 5.6 billion Iraqi dinars ($4.8m) was stolen, the bank's chief testified during the trial.
'Politically motivated'
Most of the money was later recovered in the office of a newspaper owned by Adel Abdul-Mahdi, the Iraqi vice president and a senior member of Iraq's largest Shia party, investigators said.
Abdul-Mahdi has denied any involvement saying one of those charged in the robbery worked as part of his security team.
He has said any suggestions of wrongdoing on his part were a politically motivated attempt to sabotage his bid to be re-elected in next January's polls.
A fifth defendant, who worked at the newspaper, was acquitted.

It's been seven weeks since a violent homicide in Berks County, and investigators will not say if they're close to solving the case.
State Police have remained tight-lipped about the investigation, but now residents who live near the crime scene are demanding answers.
"I'd like to know who did it, how it happened and why it happened," said Dale Mast, who lives a few houses down from the homicide.
Fear and frustration are mounting in Pike Township. Residents are demanding information after their neighbor was shot and killed outside her own home, and the killer is still on the streets.
"Everybody is really concerned of what really went on," said Claire Mast. "Is there somebody else out there, or what's going on?"
"It's really scary knowing something happened like that so close and the way it did," said Christa Readinger, who owns Christa's Country Creations about three miles from the crime scene.
Louisa Krenzel's violent death has been ruled a homicide.
Her body was found face-up in her driveway in the 500 block of Long Lane the night of Jan. 22.
Court documents stated she was shot multiple times.
"If it was a personal thing that's different, but if it's someone just going around shooting someone we'd like to know because you're afraid to go outside sometimes," said Claire Mast.
Krenzel, 48, lived in the home alone with her son, but her body was found by her estranged husband, Jules Krenzel.
He was questioned by police, but is not considered a suspect, according to investigators.
State Police would not comment where they are in the investigation or if they have a person of interest, but they're calling on the public for more information.
"It could be something really tiny in a case like this that breaks the case open," said Tpr. David Beohm, Pa. State Police.
Meantime, residents on Long Lane and the surrounding area are on edge fearing something else could happen.
"We have to be scared of it," said Mast.
State Police said they've been working this case everyday, and they're hoping the public's tips will help them solve it sooner rather than later.
If you know anything that can help police make an arrest in this case call Crime Alert Berks County at 877-373-9913.

Comments Thread For: Julian Jackson Invites Juanma To Train in St. Thomas
WBO featherweight champion Juan Manuel "Juanma" Lopez has received a special invitation and he might actually accept it. Tough puncher and former middleweight champion Julian "The Hawk" Jackson opened the doors of his home and gym in Caribbean island of St. Thomas, and wants Juanma to stay on the island to train for the April defense against former champion Orlando Salido of Mexico. Orlando Pineda, Lopez's manager, revealed that he and the fighter have a very good relationship with Jackson, who began his career in Puerto Rico in the early 80's.

Not a bad idea, since St Thomas is at a higher altitude tham PR, plus it will have Juanma focus on traning, since he is not gettiong bugged by the media

no need for all that training and stuff for a fight that won't last 2 mins, how can a champion like Juanma fight this bum while Gamboa is out there to be fought?

Player-manager Jose Altuve!2. ReggieThomasLives Posted: September 01, 2014 at 05:01 PM (#4783244)
Luhnow also needs to sacrifice several goats and purify himselve in the waters of lake Minnetonka if the Astros are ever to become successful.3. A big pile of nonsense (gef the talking mongoose) Posted: September 01, 2014 at 06:23 PM (#4783304)
Players always hate their managers. Either for not playing them enough, or not in their preferred role, or pushing them to play when they don't feel ready, or when the manager demands they sacrifice or pitchout when they think it's dumb. Yet somehow if the front office tells the manager to do one thing differently, the manager was beloved by all, and becomes the only reason these poor aimless souls could find a way to even lace up a uniform or swing a bat.
Baseball is such an anachronistic world, where an on field manager expects to be able to work completely independently of his bosses preferences or even demands. I think Houston really screwed up hiring Porter and still has one chance to fix it. They need to hire someone smart who understands people, esp. baseball players, but also has an open mind to using analysis and front office resources to make the best strategic and tactical in game decisions.
You have to hire someone like this before you start winning, or they'll get destroyed by the media whenever they fail to meet expectations.The Diamondbacks demonstrated this back when they were still a smart organisation and hired AJ Hinch, a super smart guy, well liked, a natural leader on virtually every team he played for, and well experienced in everything in professional baseball except being a manager. But he was handed a team that was expected to compete, but actually had a horrific bullpen, and AJ had no chance to survive his own learning curve.
Get someone with smarts and ability now, and by the time the team is talented enough to win he will no longer be that guy who never managed before and will have a chance at survival. God forbid he not know his reliever has to face at least one batter though, the shitstorm will make it look like Bo Porter got a free pass.
Luhnow also needs to sacrifice several goats
Next step: add Chris Truby & Albert Belle to front office.
I say, go the whole way and don't hire a manager. Hire Erin Andrews for the sole purpose of sauntering out to the mound to make pitching changes. Put a headset on her and tell her to do exactly what you want from the press box. That's kinda her job today.5. Weratych Posted: September 01, 2014 at 11:04 PM (#4783428)
We really aren't that far off from not needing managers. Look how close we are to not needing umpires. Except for balls and strikes, you could play on the honor system and use replay for close calls. Even on balls/strikes, I would say you are only 3-5 years away from fixing that issue. I would much prefer the game without the men in blue.
Luhnow, just do it.
Luhnow-tic should just manage. When your that smart and intelligent cut out the middle-man and do it yourself. He's already got his NASA buddy Sig the analytic's guru in the dugout with computer to make in game defensive adjustments. We should all be thankful that we have the opportunity to watch this incredible genius work. Would be great to watch him out manage all the other stiffs in division, Sciocia, Melvin, Washington and McClendon. What do those guys know about the game? None of them ever won a fantasy league championship.6. base ball chick Posted: September 01, 2014 at 11:24 PM (#4783437)
um7. gimme five bees for a STEAGLES Posted: September 02, 2014 at 12:23 AM (#4783453)
luhnow thought that bo porter WAS that kind of guy and obviously something went wrong
the FO needs to gather all the players and tell them straight out that they make ALL the decisions and the manager is just there to hand the lineup card and pull pitchers when the FO wants them pulled and all the rest and he really has no other function. pretend he is a robot. because that is exactly all he is, and the team is required to have one, so deal with it.
oh yeah - we're not available to complain to. you can just shut up and eat poop or we'll trade your ass out (see jarred cosart, bud norris, etc)

but seriously, let's do it. owners will love it because they'll save money; players will love it because they'll get rid of umpires; fans will love it, cause the game will go faster; umpires will ####### *HATE* it, which will make everyone else even happier because seriously, #### 'em. if they weren't so aggressively inept this wouldn't even be a thing.
Have a machine call balls and strikes, defensive team calls everything else. Review anything close. Why not.9. zonk Posted: September 02, 2014 at 08:33 AM (#4783506)
Is it really that difficult to find a manager who actually buys into the same sort of analytics that Luhnow wants to bring to bear?10. chemdoc Posted: September 02, 2014 at 12:14 PM (#4783730)
Obviously, you'd probably have to go young - someone in his 40s, let's say - but rather than hiring based on a guy who answers yes to the question of "are you OK with influence from the front office in every day decisions like setting the lineup?" -- how about a guy that buys into the data and analysis side of things that the front office wants to be part of the decision?
Of course, we don't know the whole story here - quite possible that this is exactly what Luhnow asked/how he phrased it...
But - if I were a saber-GM, this is what I'd be looking for interviews... Not a marionette - but someone who understands and buys into what we're trying to do. I wouldn't expect to be handing him lineup cards - but I'd want to do things like have regular meetings, say, prior to upcoming series where we'd go over the data, look at the simulations, etc and rather than it being the "front office" decisions being pushed down to a robot manager, the decisions basically become "organization" decisions.
I find it hard to believe that no such hire is available -- hell, Earl Weaver was doing precisely this sort of thing in making his day to day decisions before anyone ever heard of Bill James.
I guess the big sticking point is that the manager is still a human being - and a human being is inevitably going to going to go 'gut' on occasion... and deviating from the probability path sort of invalidates the whole thing.
Still - I'm just saying that finding a puppet is always going to be an exercise in futility and a waste of salary to boot... Go find the guy that wants and will use this information, not the guy who agrees to just blindly plug and play.
Is it really that difficult to find a manager who actually buys into the same sort of analytics that Luhnow wants to bring to bear?
It's not that hard. Tell him, Wash.
Go find the guy that wants and will use this information, not the guy who agrees to just blindly plug and play.I agree with this...
I'd want to do things like have regular meetings, say, prior to upcoming series where we'd go over the data, look at the simulations, etc and rather than it being the "front office" decisions being pushed down to a robot manager, the decisions basically become "organization" decisions.... but I disagree with this. Maybe the manager can meet with the analytics guys, or with the coaching staff (presumably also ex-players who "buy into the program") that is tasked with translating things from SQL into Athlete. i.e., he is consulting with people who either report to him, or are on his level.
But the manager shouldn't be asked to meet with his superior and justify, or pre-justify before acting, everything he does. He should have final say over lineups and in-game decisions, and he can't have that with the GM micro-managing it. "Suggestions" from your boss aren't really suggestions.
Is it really that difficult to find a manager who actually buys into the same sort of analytics that Luhnow wants to bring to bear?
They've found some. Two of the most expressly open to analytics and Saber stuff, at least upon their hiring, were Manny Acta and Bobby Valentine (before the Boston gig, at least). I assume A.J. Hinch was at well, given the nature of his appointment.
None of their tenures would be described as smashing successes.

Railroad Earth releasing acoustic set recorded at the Ogden Theatre last year
Nearly a year ago, Railroad Earth played a late-afternoon acoustic set at the Ogden Theatre for 75 fans, who each made a contribution to BECA (Bilingual Education for Central America). To mark the anniversary of the show, the band is releasing a live recording of the set on Monday, December 19, via LiveDownloads.com. The set will be Railroad Earth's only acoustic recording on LiveDownloads.com, and all proceeds from the first hundred sales go to BECA. The band returns to the Ogden for a three-night New Year's Eve run, from Thursday, December 29, through Saturday, December 31.

'Shaq Vs.' returns, America cringes
Feb 12, 2010, 3:39 PM EDT
According to Brian Windhorst of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Shaquille O'Neal's…shall we say, interesting reality show, Shaq Vs., will be returning for a second season on ABC. It's the perfect show for that 7'2", attention-crazed NBA star in your life, but for everyone else? Well, it's a bit silly. I'm sure Shaq has a lot of fun hanging out in front of the camera and making sure all the spotlights are on him. But for the rest of us? The first season of Shaq Vs. was almost unwatchable.
But have no fear! There's still plenty of potential left in the concept, even if some of Shaq's challenges were unimaginatively designed and poorly executed. Season one is in the books, but season two could still really find a rhythm with the right guests:
- Apolo Ohno, Olympic speed-skater – Momentum is equal to mass times velocity, and what better way to establish some momentum for the series than put an NBA star with a ton of mass and attempt to get him moving at the highest velocity possible?
The Handicap: Shaq obviously won't be able to outrace Ohno, even with a sizable head start. So instead, we'll put O'Neal (Ohneal?) and Ohno on the same starting line, but use a giant slingshot to hurl Shaq towards the finish line. And if I know anything in this world to be a universal truth, it's that having a big guy go that fast on ice skates can only end well.
- Tony Hawk, professional skateboarder – In keeping with our established tradition of putting Shaq in situations where he'd be completely out of control, let's put his giant feet on a tiny skateboard and watch hilarity ensue. Hawk also happens to be a pretty charismatic showman, providing ample yin to Shaq's yang.
The Handicap: Shaq actually wins this challenge by default, as long as he can last through the entire competition. Hawk is the leader in a five-turn game of H-O-R-S-E; all Shaq has to do is attempt to replicate skateboarding moves of Hawk's choosing. Completing the moves could net some kind of bonus points or prizes, but the important thing is that O'Neal gives them an honest try. Grinds and any half-pipe tricks are strongly encouraged.
- Dwight Howard, professional basketball player – Should they see which among them is faster than a speeding bullet? Who is really more powerful than a locomotive? Which one among them can jump tall buildings in a single bound? Or maybe just make them go head-to-head in a free throw competition? No matter the contest, there's plenty at stake.
The Handicap: Whatever the competition, Shaq is given a nine-point, five-rebound handicap, per last night's evaluation.

I found Shaq vs. to be not only entertaining but enlightening. I don't watch reality TV show as a general rule, but Big Ben vs. Shaq was funny and memorable. (shaq asks Ben, what would you do to prepare for the upcoming contest. Ben while laying back in a recliner throw one leg over the arm rest and said, "probably something like this") That's funny.

Did you see Shaq vs Oscar Delahoya? If that wasn't entertaining and fun to watch, you just don't have a pulse.

I watched Shaq Vs. on a few occasians and found it quite amusing… I never thought of it as unwatchable, and I also never cringed. Maybe I'm not American enough.
We all have opinions… I just wish some reporters would not express and label their own as America's opinion. Generalization does nothing but reveal your bias. I suggest you rewrite this article, and whenever you use "we" or "America", change those words to "I".

Ditto @ Carl! The writer obviously is not a shaq fan and thats ok, but if "America" truly felt that way, "America" wouldn't have given the show enough ratings the first go round for ABC to bring it back.. I enjoyed the show (especially the episode w/ Rothesburger – the banter betw the two had me dyin)..Looking forward to the next season! Call Shaq attention craved if you want, but he's a made for tv type of guy…So get used to seeing him because as his bball career winds down his commentator and television appearances are going to go up…Not because he needs the attention, but because people like him and he naturally draws in a crowd…….

I actually liked the swimsuit episode, and I don't believe it would've fit Kuroko's personality if she wore a non-skimpy swimsuit. I also seen the product placement to be suspect at first, not essential.

I think your blog is great. I just added you to my Google News Reader. Found it on Bing though. I love the suggestions and just trying to wrap my head around it, it's mind boggling. Thanks

Cool Gift for V-Day

posted Jan 23 2013 6:58AM
So I totally forgot to share my awesome gift from my husband that I got in November for our wedding anniversary. But then it hit me...you can still use the gift idea for Valentine's Day! Or Mother's Day or birthdays or....you get the point. So, it was pretty original and made my heart melt. It was a necklace and as you can see it has two fingerprints on it.....my husbands and my sons. I thought it was so adorable. Apparently, they can also do pets and the hubby didn't know this or he would have gotten our little Bella done too. If you wanna use this gift idea,
here's the Facebook of the woman that does them
. Pretty cool!
