`This will help bring in transparency in reaching the benefit to the cardholders in the State'
New shops will be set up wherever necessary by AprilCommittees to be set up at all gram panchayats to maintain transparency
RAICHUR: H.S. Mahadev Prasad, Minister for Food and Civil Supplies, has said that the State Government has decided to decentralise the public distribution system (PDS) to bring in transparency in reaching the benefit to the cardholders in the State.
Speaking to presspersons here on Tuesday, he said that presently about 20,600 fair price shops are functioning in the State.
He said the Government has completed a re-survey of the cardholders with an intention to eliminate the bogus cardholders and identify the real beneficiaries. Based on the resurvey report, the Government will identify the fair price shop with more than 300 cardholders.
Such shops will be bifurcated, facilitating the establishment of a separate fair price shop in the same village.
The new shops will be started from April 1.
The Minister also said the Government has decided to withdraw the ration cards of all categories and issue fresh cards based on the information available from the resurvey report by February 15.
He said that the Government has decided to constitute committees at all gram panchayats to maintain transparency in handling the PDS.
The committee, with the involvement of non-governmental organisations, will monitor the distribution of foodgrains through PDS.
The Minister said the State-level Ahaara Bhandara Samiti will conduct district-level meetings twice a month to identify BPL families.

About Janelle Schneider
From the earliest stories painted on cave walls, and spoken around campfires, stories have enveloped us, informed our perception of reality and our place within it. The telling and sharing of stories has set us apart, distinguished our humanity. The stories we hold as true shape the nature of our actions in the world.
As humans we live in a world increasingly of our own design and fabrication; we have become increasingly disconnected from nature, from an understanding of what truly sustains us. We forget that we are part of the larger organism of a living Earth, and not separate from it. Air, Earth and Water - these are the very elements that enable life to exist. Yet our current story of separateness is leading to the systematic destruction of these fundamental elements of Life.
We humans live by stories, and these stories shape our lives - it is time to change the story. I believe that art has the power to remind us, to reconnect our awareness to our place within the web of life, to help change our story.
My work in acrylics, and mixed media offer seeds and symbols for a new story, reconnecting through art to the nature of what truly sustains us.

Where Are My Keys?
When it comes to keys, we (as a society) tend to lose them. "I know they are here somewhere?!"
"We are already late, why can't I find my keys?"
If you have uttered those words once in your lifetime, then you know the panic mode that sets in and your day has thus started off on the wrong foot.
Keys are an absolute necessity in our society. Car keys. House keys. Office building keys. Key fobs. Loyalty card key rings.
My first suggestion is to separate your keys:
Necessary and daily keys
Mail box (if you have a PO Box)
Office keys
Occasional keys
Storage unit
Spare house keys
Deadbolt keys (who uses their deadbolt these days)
Keys to your in-laws, parents, friends, neighbors, etc
Loyalty cards
Grocery Store
Drug Store
Home Depot/Lowe's Home Improvement/IKEA
Label the occasional keys so you know what belongs where. I like to use a simple sticker that I can write on to label.
Leave the occasional keys in your car glove compartment or at home. There is no need to cart these around everyday .. All day.
Store your loyalty cards on a separate key ring. Keep those in a side compartment in your purse. Another idea? Get rid of them all together. Stores can look up your account by phone number most of the time.
Store your keys by the door. Not in your purse or by the kitchen or in the bedroom. Store them by the door that you use to go in and out of your home 99% of the time.
Use hooks or containers to keep them corralled. Pretty thrifted saucers and bowls would look great on an entry way table.
If you have the wall space, consider turning a frame into a key holder.
Make your daily life a little easier by finding what you need right when you need it!
How do you store your daily necessities?

I have been assigned a task regarding
text-to-speech in which a particular set of sentences are given and it has to be uttered in different languages. The Problem is i set the frequency of the speech by using the method
setSpeechRate() but the frequency is changing for different languages.
For Example, in my app I have set the frequency rate as
setSpeechRate(1) for two languages English and French, the frequency in English is fine and able to listen to the sentences clearly but when it comes to French its becoming fast and its not so clear.
I think it can be solved by creating different objects for
TextToSpeech for different languages and set the frequency differently.
Is there any other way to solve this problem? or Should I continue with my idea of creating different objects for different languages?
Any suggestions. Please help.
Thank you All

The National Security Agency's broad collection of U.S. phone customer data received its first legal challenge since the disclosure of the program last week.
The National Security Agency's broad collection of U.S. phone customer data received its first legal challenge since the disclosure of the program last week.
This is why I am a regular sponsor of the ACLU. With over 35 years as a communications industry senior executive, I am ashamed that my former companies have not fought this issue in the courts. Some of my previous peers would have taken the government to court. These same companies would fight for a rate increase or beneficial tax ruling all the way to the Supreme Court. and use all of their political influence to protect what they consider theirs. I guess the privacy of their customer's records is no longer theirs. What ever happened to the old Secrecy of Communications Act?
The ACLU tried to sue the government back in 2003 when the patriot act was first passed. In 2006 they dropped the suit after congress changed the way it was worded and after that the ACLU said it was now constitutional. It's going to be hard for them to win this since they have already said in the past that it's constitutional for the government to be doing this.
Court will most likely reside with big brother, and the tide keeps rolling
Government is getting to big for its britches!
And Obama lied and said he would end these types of programs everyone believed him... you fools.

Former Westview star hopes to stretch out her final season
The record was set by Fairfield's Heather Donlon, who also accomplished the task over two games during the 1989-90 season.
Whitfield, a freshman, had scored just 31 total points and played 183 minutes before her breakout game against Siena. Since that game, Whitfield played 22 minutes and scored six points against Rider, 19 minutes with three points against Marist, and a point in 15 minutes in the regular-season finale against Loyola of Maryland. Saint Peter's is 2-27 heading into this weekend's conference tournament.
• Josh Estill (Santa Fe Christian) was named the Big Ten Freshman of the Week after going 7-for-15 for Purdue in four games against Connecticut and No. 4-ranked Louisville. He was on base 10 times in the four games, starting as the DH, at first base and catcher. Estill is hitting .361 for the 3-7 Boilermakers. Senior first baseman/outfielder Angelo Cianfrocco (Westview), freshman infielder Michael Mullen (Torrey Pines) and freshman outfielder/pitcher Kyle Johnson (Torrey Pines) also play for Purdue.
• Right-hander Trevor Williams (Rancho Bernardo) is 2-0 with a 1.29 ERA in three starts for No. 24 Arizona State. In 21 innings, he has 21 strikeouts, has walked only three and has allowed just two extra-base hits, both doubles.
• Garrett Stubbs (Torrey Pines), a sophomore catcher, has started six games for 6-6 USC and is hitting .236.
• Cal State Northridge is loaded with local players. Senior infielder Kyle Attl (Rancho Bernardo) is hitting .379 for the Matadors. Senior infielder Brett Balkan (Carlsbad) is hitting .531 in limited action. Junior infielder Tommy Simis (Poway) is hitting .269. Freshman infielder Will Colantono (San Pasqual) has played in seven games for the 4-6 Matadors.
• Laura Winter (Rancho Bernardo), a junior pitcher/infielder, is 4-4 with a 2.72 ERA at Notre Dame. She has 72 strikeouts in 56 2/3 innings. At the plate, she's hitting .269 with three homers, three doubles and six RBIs for the 10-5 Irish. Sophomore infielder Katey Haus (Vista) has started all 15 games for Notre Dame and is hitting .233 with a homer, three doubles and nine RBIs.
• Junior outfielder Alix Johnson (Mt. Carmel) is having another great year for No. 3 Arizona State. She's hitting .322 with five homers and 15 RBIs while starting all 21 games for the unbeaten Sundevils. She now has 102 career RBIs. Haley Steele (Poway), a sophomore third baseman, is hitting .328 with four homers and 18 RBIs.
• Freshman Tori Nirschl (Carlsbad) has made an instant impact at Pittsburgh with a team-leading .333 average, a pair of homers and seven RBIs for a team that is 6-6.
Men's basketball
• Peter Smith (Escondido) of Concordia-Irvine was the NAIA National Player of the Week for the period ending Feb. 24. He averaged 21.7 points, 5.0 assists and 2.3 rebounds in wins over No. 8-ranked Westmont, No. 6 Cal State San Marcos and Arizona Christian.

NH cop wounded in standoff back to work
The standoff resulted in 4 task force officers suffering gunshot wounds, and the death of Chief Michael Maloney
By Mikaela K. Reynolds
Foster's Daily Democrat, Dover, N.H.
ROCHESTER — One of the city's heroes returned to duty after a 16-month hiatus from the department.
Detective Jeremiah Murphy returned to the Rochester Police Department this week after being shot during the Greenland standoff last year.
"We're excited to have him back," said Chief Michael Allen.
Last April, while attempting to serve a search warrant at a Greenland home, Murphy was shot when suspected drug dealer Cullen Mutrie opened fire on the officers. Murphy was one of four Attorney General's Drug Task Force officers who were wounded in the shooting that killed Greenland Police Chief Michael Maloney.
Murphy was shot in the chest in the April 12 incident and spent two weeks in the hospital for his serious injury. His long recovery led to a much awaited return to the Rochester Police Department.
He was welcomed back to the department this week with an in-house ceremonial luncheon.
"The staff did a great job of putting it together," said Allen.
Welcoming him back were the department staff, the Police Commission, City Manager Daniel Fitzpatrick, Mayor T.J. Jean and Murphy's own family.
"The staff is happy to have him back and I know he's happy to be back," said Allen.
Murphy has been serving Rochester since 2004 and was honored last year for his heroic action in the Greenland shootings. He received a Bravery Medal as well as a Wounded in Service Medal for his work.
Murphy will be returning to the detective bureau next week, but will spend this week going through regular annual training and learning any updated policies or procedures.
"This week, he is reacclimating himself to the department," said Allen.
"I admire his determination and dedication to this department and city to be able to achieve a full recovery from an event as traumatic as what he went through," said Allen.

Oklahoma and Nebraska Join UN in Attack on Tenth Amendment
In a bid to impose unconstitutional federal statutes and United Nations schemes on the people of a neighboring state, top officials in Oklahoma and Nebraska launched a federal lawsuit last week against Colorado. They argued in court that nullifying UN and U.S. government mandates purporting to require the criminalization of marijuana was unacceptable and should be quashed. The two conservative-leaning states, both of which have nullified or sought to nullify multiple unconstitutional federal usurpations of power, are asking the Supreme Court to declare the decision of Colorado voters "unconstitutional."
Obama's Political Career Began With Castro-backed Terrorist
While Obama framed his latest decrees on U.S. relations with the brutal Communist Cuban dictatorship this week as a way to "help" the people of Cuba and serve "American interests," he failed to mention an important detail of his life that may have played a role in the decision. More than a decade before becoming president, Obama launched his fledgling political career in the home of an unrepentant communist terrorist whose murderous organization was backed primarily by none other than the ruthless Castro regime in Havana. That terrorist, of course, was William Ayers, co-founder of the Weather Underground infamous for bombings, terror attacks, robberies, and murders across the United States.
Obama Hides Executive Abuses by Calling Decrees "Memoranda"
Despite promising repeatedly on the campaign trail to rein in George W. Bush's executive-branch usurpations of power, Obama has been spewing a particular type of unconstitutional decree at a rate unprecedented in U.S. history. While the Obama administration has indeed unleashed a full-throated attack on the Constitution using "executive orders," even more of his decrees have come in the form of so-called "presidential memoranda" — an almost identical type of "executive action" that he has used more than any previous U.S. president, according to a review published this week by USA Today.
Utah Demands Feds Surrender Lands by Dec. 31
With the federal government engaged in a de facto unconstitutional occupation across some two thirds of Utah's territory, citizens of the state and their elected representatives have had just about enough. So, on December 31, the State of Utah is formally demanding that Washington, D.C., relinquish control over more than 30 million acres of valuable land currently controlled by various federal bureaucracies.
While apparatchiks for an all-powerful U.S. government and far-left activists are fuming over the plan, Utah lawmakers, citizens, and experts say the time has come for the state to manage — and profit from — its own resources. Constitutionally speaking, experts say the lands should have gone to state control decades ago, as the federal government promised.
UN Ridiculed Over Non-Binding "Climate" Deal in Peru
Under the guise of stopping alleged man-made "global-warming," which stopped at least 18 years ago according to the satellite temperature record, the United Nations and its largely autocratic member regimes agreed to a "historic" deal to reduce human emissions of what scientists call the "gas of life." Meeting in Lima, Peru, thousands of "climate" dignitaries representing more than 190 governments and dictators on Sunday agreed to the non-binding UN scheme, widely ridiculed as "toothless." Among other elements, the deal calls for the extraction of more wealth from Western taxpayers to fund Third World regimes, while prodding governments to force humanity to reduce its "carbon footprint."
Warnings Grow Over Communism and Genocide in South Africa
As South Africa descends into what its radical rulers refer to as the "Second Phase" of their communist revolution, warnings about an approaching genocide and full-blown communist tyranny are growing progressively louder. In a statement released last week, the organization Genocide Watch again sounded the alarm surrounding the ongoing, regime-linked preparations to exterminate minority Afrikaner farmers. South Africa's credit rating, meanwhile, was downgraded again last month to barely above "junk" status. Parliament recently descended into a brawl after a politician called the president a "criminal and a thief." As the warning signs become increasingly obvious, however, the establishment media around the world continues to look the other way.
After Garner Death, UN Fomenting Racial Strife in America
Attacking the United States and fomenting misguided hatred seems to have become the top priority of the "dictators club," more formally known as the United Nations. Just days ago, a multi-pronged UN assault on U.S. gun rights, local police, national sovereignty, federalism, and more, was unleashed in the wake of the chaos in Ferguson. Now, as Americans across the political spectrum express outrage and sadness about the tragic death of Eric Garner by a police officer who was not indicted by a grand-jury, UN boss Ban Ki-moon, sensing another opportunity to meddle in U.S. affairs, is again barking commands at the American people as if he were some sort of benevolent global overlord. Hordes of UN "human rights" experts also joined in.
"Common Ground on Common Core" Book Demolishes Common Core Fraud
This book represents a collection of voices from across the political spectrum that are unified in their view that Common Core will dramatically hurt America's children.
UN Kangaroo Court Has U.S. Troops in Crosshairs
The United Nations' self-styled "International Criminal Court," a would-be global judicial branch widely ridiculed as a kangaroo court because it doesn't adhere to Western judicial standards, is examining the actions of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan to determine whether a full investigation and possible prosecution is warranted, ICC Chief Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda announced with the release of an explosive report this week. Despite the fact that the U.S. government never ratified the agreement creating the UN "court," the Hague-based body continues to act as if it has universal jurisdiction over every person on Earth — including Americans. According to an ICC report about its ongoing "preliminary examinations" of "international forces" in Afghanistan, with U.S. military members specifically cited for the first time, the ICC is focusing on allegations of detainee torture. In 2011, the ICC prosecutor also claimed to be probing the actions of U.S. forces in Libya.
Amid "Climate" Circus in Peru, UN Says CO2 Regime is Done Deal
Amid the ongoing implosion of their man-made global-warming theory, thousands of bureaucrats involved in the United Nations "climate" circus are meeting in Lima, Peru, for two weeks to continue plotting their scheme to impose a planetary carbon regime on humanity. But the fix is already in, according to the global body. In a press release, the UN declared that its plan to foist draconian global controls on the world was essentially a done deal, with the summit in the Peruvian capital serving merely to "hammer out" the "new universal UN-backed treaty on climate change" that "will be adopted" at the global-warming conference in Paris next year. Obama's pseudo-treaty with brutal communist dictator Xi Jinping is apparently the "model" being pursued for the global regime.

Historical Traveler Reviews Atlantica Hotel Halifax
Not so clean, bad management. Stay away!
I have just returned from a few day stay at the Holiday Inn Select, and I will never stay there again. The room was acceptable, but the cleaning staff must not have been too keen on cleaning bathrooms. My bath tub had foreign hairs the night I arrived, and plenty of the nice red and black mold on the tiles. The shower curtain was dirty on the bottom and stinky on the outside. When I notified guest services, they eventually cleaned the tiles but I had to put up with the smelly shower curtain my whole stay. The bathtub did not get cleaned once. I had to use my shower shoes. To add insult to injury, my phone service got disabled one of the nights. All of the hotel rooms face a couple of busy streets, and you cannot get away from the noise from juiced-up cars and motorcycles. NEVER AGAIN!
Very Nice Hotel but Out of the Way
Stayed at the Holiday Inn Select Aug. 7th to the 10th. Hotel was very clean and nice and quiet as well. Check-in was pleasant and overall stay was good. There were no facecloths provided and when I asked housekeeping staff they said there were none available due to a shortage. I was quite surprised seeing that we were staying in a hotel in Canada and not the Dominican or Cuba. Everything was fine until check-out when I was waiting for my deposit to be refunded. There was hardly any conversation between the front desk staff and myself. Only thing asked was if I had consumed the bottled water in the room. I told them no and she said they were just printing off my detail sheet and it would take a few moments. I'm sure they had someone check the room to confirm I hadn't used the $2.99 bottle of water that was in the room. The lady who checked me out gave me my deposit back and asked me to sign a form and never so much as said thank you for staying or even asked how my stay was. The hotel is also too far away from downtown. It is only a 20 min walk or $7.00 taxi ride but I've stayed at the Delta Barrington and the Marriot Harbour front and will pick one of those next time I visit Halifax. The convenience of the pedway attached to those hotels is worth the extra price you pay for those hotels. Also, everything is so much closer to those two hotels.
Stay Away !!
The very worst. Booked a King size 2 months ago and they said they could not guarantee reservation when we arrived. Doing electrical work between 10 AM and 6 PM. NO ELEVATOR DURING THIS PERIOD. STAY AWAY...
Good for the price
Clean and safe with a staff that was friendly and helpful even through they were a bit overwhelmed by tour groups at the time. Rooms are standard Holiday Inn so not fancy but are comfortable. A good place to stay if you are on a limited budget and/or don't plan on spending a lot of time in your room. Nothing was negative about the place but nothing was outstanding either.
Pool area was full of kids who seemed to be having a good time,
Not a bad hotel for the moeny
This hotel is very clean and not to far from the downtown core. It is about 7 dollars by taxi or 20 minutes to walk. However, if you do walk be prepared to take comfortable shoes as there are many hills getting to the Harbour. The pool is nice and clean and there is an outdoor patio if you want to relax and read a paper. The room was your average hotel room. The service was good and everyone was friendly.
The only bad thing I can say about this hotel was that the bathroom door was jammed and it was hard to get out sometimes. Other then that if you are on a budget try this hotel, but if you can afford a bit more try to stay closer to the harbour!!!
Great Family Value
We decided to take our two small children to Halifax for March Break this year and we had a remarkable time at the Holiday Inn Select! Our accomodations were wonderful, you can't beat kids eating free especially in such an elegant yet friendly atmosphere. The pool accomadates young swimmers and the front desk staff couldn't do enough to make us feel welcome and valued. Definately something we will enjoy doing more often!
Just What You'd Expect from Holiday Inn.
Not a bad hotel. Clean, pleasant, like a typical Holiday Inn. The area is a bit edgy, so if you're a tourist, I would recommend something a little closer to the waterfront. But for just a clean, quiet place to sleep, this is a good bet.
I stay at the holiday inn twicw a year. everytime I come I'm always welcomed by my fav front desk agent jl. staff are excellent, restaurant is beautiful and very taste. service at front desk is outstanding. rooms are always clean, an excellent choise for a nice romantic gettaway.
Highly Recommended!!!
My b/f and I used to do a long-distance relationship between New Brunswick and Cape Breton, and we would often meet in Halifax for a getaway. We always stayed at the Holiday Inn Select on Robie St. because of the great location, exceptional service and affordable luxury. In 2001, we stayed there on the weekend following Valentine's Day and were treated to valentine shortbread cookies in our room with our names on them...both of us believing that the other had set it up! This is just one example of the "above and beyond" service offered by this establishment. I have now moved to Halifax, but my b/f and I still reminisce about our times at the Holiday!
Poor Service for Women
I have stayed at this hotel many times and it always used to be friendly to women travelling alone.
My last two visits here have given me the impetus to seek a new hotel. The clerk was very snarky with me when i was checking out. On the second occasion, I was put on the second floor in a smoking room despite the fact I cannot tolerate smoke. This was done even though I specfically requested a non-smoking room. I was made to feel very unwanted!

McGraw-Hill Building (Chicago)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The McGraw-Hill Building was a 16-story, 190-foot-tall (58 m) landmark building in the Near North Side community area of Chicago, Illinois. The facade and its architectural sculpture by Chicago-born artist Gwen Lux was landmarked by the city prior to demolition, then taken down and reinstalled in 2000 on the new Conrad Chicago Hotel building.[1] Its facade was designated a Chicago Landmark on February 7, 1997.[2] The building was demolished in 1998.[3] The Conrad Chicago Hotel was a reconstruction of the McGraw-Hill Building.[3][4]

fall swap-where will it be?
I was wondering-where will the fall swap be?
Too early for any specific planning at this point, Chcolate! We'll probably start a thread with specifics in late July. But general plans would be to have the second swap of the year on the other end of town from the first, and two people have already expressed interest in possibly hosting it down that way, so plan on a location somewhere on the south side of the Metro area.
And the "when" would normally be late August or early September---just too early!
Day lilies!! "Catladysgarden" usually brings TONS of day lilies and makes sure we take them home. Even if you think you've taken more than your share, she and her husband offer you more and then more!
And, lots of starts that might have been to tiny to dig up in spring are often nice-sized and established in pots, ready for trading.
Just so you all know, I plan on attending as long as it isn't August 20-30.
Seeds, bulbs, perennials, houseplants, small trees, etc. It's pretty much the same as in the spring but with way fewer vegetable starts.
Seed-saving is really easy for many things, mstywoods. Let us know what you'd like to save and we can walk you through it. Some plants are definitely easier than others.
considering ripping out a few rose bushes for the fall swap, if anyone is interested. Otherwise, may just rip & toss them... I know they won't be dormant by Aug-Sept, so there is a risk that they wouldn't make it...
Also, open to ideas for how to get them out if someone wants them? I can't imagine trying to bring a ginormous rootball...
I would love to host the fall swap this year if no one else has stepped forward.
If I hosted, my August is swamped so it would have to be in Sept. (the 4th or 11th).
I don't really want to think about September yet though LOL! It's been so cool I still need summer!
Here's to summer,
Yay, then we can see the babies!
I think we've had it in September before...right?
I'm looking forward to it already. I know we aren't really thinking about it yet but, as an FYI, I'd be up for either date but might prefer the 11th.
Yeah, I'm not ready either because it has been very cool up here. Yesterday morning we even had some huge snow flakes come down!! Nothing even came close to sticking but the mountains got some powdery coverage.
I need warmth and sun, then I'll think about the swap.
Thanks, Charlene, for offering!
We would be interested in the fall swap; it would be our first swap.
We have Iris, Day Lillies and tomatoes.
D Colo springs
I would love day lilies, and some iris (especially dark purple). I can most likely bring some light purple irises to swap, and maybe some others that have not bloomed yet so not sure of the color. If I can find out how to harvest Lilac seeds, or make some cuttings, I can bring some - we have a huge lilac bush in our back yard. I'd like also like to know how to start new Lilac plants for myself, so I can grow it in another portion of the yard.
I'll see what else I can bring as well!!
I googled how to harvest Lilac seeds, and looks like I missed being able to do that - should have done so before all the flowers dropped. But I did find info on how to make cuttings, and may be able to do that - although it sounds like this isn't always successful as there is only a small window of opportunity to do that (mid-June, apparently, is best). I'll try it though! I'll also see if I can find any suckers with roots that I can dig up and pot.

DC chief looks at body cameras for cops
Chief briefly mentioned the "on-body" camera technology while speaking with the D.C. Council about recent police misconduct
By Eric Tucker
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — District of Columbia Police Chief Cathy Lanier says her department wants to place cameras on officers to monitor their conduct.
Lanier briefly mentioned the "on-body" camera technology Friday while speaking with the D.C. Council about recent police misconduct.
The problem drew public attention last month with the arrests of three officers accused in unrelated investigations involving child pornography, attempted murder and running a prostitution operation involving teenage girls.
Lanier did not give details about the proposed body-camera system, but said it was necessary to "establish a record of police conduct." Other departments have been experimenting with body cameras to record videos of police activity. Police officers assigned to foot patrols of downtown Los Angeles began wearing them Wednesday as the city evaluates different models to include in its policing.

When is the high street music retailer HMV not a high street music retailer? When it's a cinema!
Recent retail figures for the company have made grim reading and industry analysts speculate that this is their slowness in accepting that digital downloads are gradually taking over the marketplace and they've been slow in developing that side of the business.

Evidently, this UK carpenter did not get the message.
The court that tried Ashley James Humphries likened the incident to a bad comedy sketch, but there was nothing funny about what happened when he jokingly tapped a coworker with a cordless nail gun. It fired and sent a nail into the coworker's leg just above the knee, narrowly missing the femoral artery. The victim required surgery under general anesthesia and is currently unable to work. Humphries had brought the gun indoors to warm it up over lunch break and claims not to have known it contained nails or a battery. He admitted to police that he had behaved recklessly and that it was an idiotic thing to do.

How does "production" apply to healthcare? Patients are not cars, of course. Yet both manufacturing and healthcare are filled with complex production processes.
In healthcare, these include admitting a patient, scheduling a clinic visit or undergoing surgery. All these processes should embrace the concepts of quality, safety, customer satisfaction, staff satisfaction and cost effectiveness.
For example, at Virginia Mason Health System in Seattle, in much the same way that Toyota employees are empowered to "stop the line" when they encounter a problem on the assembly line, we used the Virginia Mason Production System (VMPS) to develop a patient safety alert (PSA) system.
Our PSA system requires all 5,500 Virginia Mason staff members who encounter a situation likely to harm a patient to make an immediate report and cease any activity that could cause further harm.
If the safety of a patient is indeed at risk, an investigation is immediately launched to correct the problem. Most reports are processed within 24 hours--a significant improvement from when reports took up to 18 months to resolve. Patient safety at Virginia Mason has increased and professional liability claims have dropped.
Thousands of people from 17 different countries have come to Virginia Mason during the last several years to learn about VMPS and tour our facilities. Many have learned how to create their own brand of VMPS with the help of the Virginia Mason Institute , established in 2008 in response to the rising number of requests for Virginia Mason staff to share their experience and knowledge in applying lean principles to healthcare.
Lean concepts and proven resources are numerous, ranging from simple (i.e., department production boards) to robust (i.e., the "5S" process for sorting, simplifying, sweeping and standardizing workflow, and setting expectations for the self-discipline necessary to sustain new efficiencies.) Lean can benefit any organization that is genuinely committed to becoming less wasteful and more efficient. Transformation is a journey, however. It requires galvanized management support and determination.
Imagine how much more efficient and effective your healthcare organization could become by embracing the principles of lean to enhance safety, establish goals, organize work flow and streamline steps that do not add value. Imagine, too, that your front-line staff not only do great work on their assigned jobs, but also feel empowered to generate ideas to increase efficiency by making small improvements within their control.
Could lean be the way to transform everyday work at your organization?
Diane Miller is vice president of Virginia Mason Medical Center and Executive Director of the Virginia Mason Institute in Seattle. She can be reached at email@example.com.

Ladies: your dreams have come true.  For the price of a movie ticket, you can get a front-row seat for a Channing Tatum striptease.  The Hollywood hunk is returning to cinemas in Magic Mike, a film where he plays an extremely successful male stripper who seems to have everything a guy could dream of: women, money and a good time.  Even so, he's looking for something more and he may have found it in Paige, played by Cody Horn. It seems like she can't help falling for this fun-loving bad boy, but she doesn't agree with his career choice. As the trailer shows, the two appear to have just the right amount of chemistry to flirtatiously and humorously banter back and forth, which sets flame to a potential romance.  But will their differences tear them apart?
Related: ÔÇśThatÔÇÖs My BoyÔÇÖ Can Teach You a Thing Or Two About Surviving Your Crazy In-Laws
Should You See It? This is a film that's going to be as hot as summer itself. You're not going to want to miss your chance to see these sculpted bodies, including Matthew McConaughey and Alex Pettyfer, on the big screen.
Who To Take: The world of male strippers is no place for children , but it does make this a great flick to go see with your girlfriends. You can joke with them about what you would do for the chance to have Tatum strip for you without your partner getting jealous.
Are there aspects of your partner that you have a hard time accepting?  Here are some tips to help you love their flaws without changing who they are:
In the movie, Paige has a hard time grasping the thought of dating a male stripper, but Mike tries to convince her that Magic Mike isn't his full-time identity and that there's more to him than stripping.  Similarly, it can be easy for us to like someone, but it's more difficult for us to love someone, especially when they have characteristics that we might view as flaws.  Here are some ways to settle your differences:
1. Surface the issue: If you don't tell your partner you have an issue, they're not going to know there's a problem. Keeping your concerns secret could create tension in your relationship.
Related: 'The Vow' Actor Channing Tatum and Wife Plan on Having Kids
2. Work on the problem:┬áThe easiest way to fix most issues┬áis to work on them together as a couple. Doing this will strengthen your relationship. If it doesnÔÇÖt, you can at least know that you're too different to make it work in the long term.
3. Accept their differences:┬áRemember that everyone made their own unique journey to┬áadulthood. Your partnerÔÇÖs might be very different from yours, but that doesnÔÇÖt make either wrong. Sometimes, you have to understand where someone has come from in order to accept their characteristics that you believe are negative.

Thanks Fazal, some useful stats. You're right we don't have a true match winner in Tests, as we haven't won many. Those are the tests where we put up a good fight against the opponents. And those have contributed to some extent in keeping us afloat in the test arena. We just need some of these guys contributing together in more number of tests to give us victories or to enforce a draw.
I am equally hopeful about the younger boys to make some consistant performances to give us more victories in ODIs and tests.

Corleone Stop
We stopped in Corleone for only about 30 minutes on our way from Palermo to Agrigento. I wish we would have had more time so I could have visited their anti-mafia museum. It was cool to wander around for a bit, though. It was clear that the city was very ashamed of how tourists associate them with their mafia past. The city was actually really clean, nice, and quiet. Not at all what I expected.

The C-C-Camp C-C-Chase Trail ride was...
That's the word I'm going to use to describe Saturday's Camp Chase Trail Day ride.
The ride is a great idea: A day to celebrate the Camp Chase Trail, the entire Ohio to Erie Trail and trails everywhere, all the over the country. It's a few weeks into spring and the weather is warming up and…
That's another word I'll use to describe riding in 22-degree weather.
That's right, it was 22 degrees at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday when Jeff and I hit the trail.
That's yet another word.
The below-freezing temperatures couldn't put a damper on Camp Chase Trail Day, although it did reduce the number of riders. The Camp Chase people were gracious and welcoming, and very excited that the bridge that will go over 270 is almost complete. A train is going to bring the pre-fabricated bridge here, and then it will be "dropped" into place, completing another portion of the Ohio to Erie Trail. It could happen in April, they said.
The key to riding in weather this cold is layers, lots and lots of layers. I wore a T-shirt, long-sleeve bike jersey, vest and jacket. I had a hat under my helmet and a balaclava, which basically a neck warmer that you can also put over your mouth and nose, although whenever I put it over my nose my glasses fog up.
Jeff wore some sort of scary Ninja mask over his face.
Jack Frost-like.
We were determined to ride to London and back, about 25 miles. Halfway there, most of me started to warm up, but my feet started to get colder and colder. I had dug out these little heating pads that you smoosh together and then put in your shoes to keep your feet warm.
Let's just say they've been sitting in the closet for about 10 years … and didn't work.
We made it to the London Coffee Peddler bike shop see photo), which is about the most bike-friendly coffee shop anywhere. It's owner by Mike Michael, who is a biker bicyclist. The place is filled with Mike's bike memorabilia and photos. Mike wasn't there, but the woman working there was exceedingly friendly and let us bring our bikes into the shop. No, not because we needed to warm them up … because we didn't have locks.
The coffee shop and coffee warmed us up, and we headed back to where we started; The Battelle Darby Creek Metro Park trailhead on Alkire Road. My feet seemed to adjust to the cold and didn't get numb on the way back, but my nose did get a little runny.
Not that I'm complaining … it was all the way up to 24 by the time we were done.Posted by Steve Wartenberg on March 31, 2015 03:18 PM

Camp Chase Trail Day
Opening Day is on the way.
No, I'm not talking about baseball. Who cares about that? I'm talking about something much more important for all of us cyclists: It's the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy's Opening Day on March 28 and there will be a Central Columbus event for the first time: The Camp Chase Trail Day.
Think of it as the official start of the spring cycling season (unless it snows).
The 15-mile Camp Chase Trail will one day – soon! – connect Downtown to Darby Creek Metro Park, or vice versa, and will make riding the Ohio to Erie Trail a lot easier and safer.
"It could be 100-percent complete by the end of 2016," said Jody Dzuranin (the person in the photo below), who's an avid cyclist and Camp Chase Trail advocate. "Right now 9.5 miles out of 15 are done and there's a good chance 13.5 miles will be done by the end of 2015."
There are six different projects currently underway that will eventually complete the Camp Chase Trail, including the bridge over Rte. 270, Jody said, adding there are street options for the unfinished portions of the Camp Chase Trail.
"We're getting close," she said.
Here's the deal: The friends of the Camp Chase Trail will hold their first-ever – and hopefully annual – opening day ride/celebration on March 28 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. (although you can start earlier and ride well past 2 p.m. if you want). Meet at 8465 Alkire Road in Galloway, where there's a parking lot, bathroom and trailhead that heads west (to Cincinnati) and east (to Columbus and Cleveland).
Jody and several other friends of Camp Chase Trail will be there, and along the route, to answer your questions.
You don't have to go all the way to Cincinnati.
You can head west to London (12.5 miles), S. Charleston (24 miles) or Xenia (42.5) miles … and then back
The friends promise a tailwind both ways.
If you head east, this is the Camp Chase portion of the trail, and, since it's not quite finished, you can't ride path all the way to Columbus.
So, heading west might be the better bet this year.
I'm in, how about you?Posted by Steve Wartenberg on March 09, 2015 10:52 AM

Are you a forest?
Riding their bikes to work every day has turned David Hohmann and Dan Fausey into a couple of tree-filled forests.
"It's all about my carbon footprint," said David, who is a hazardous waste specialist with the Ohio EPA and commutes from Bexley to Downtown and back every workday.
He estimates that cycling to work reduces his carbon dioxide – or CO2 – emissions by 2,500 pounds a year.
"That's equivalent to 53 trees growing for a year, the amount of CO2 they lock up in their branches," David said. "I'm like a small forest."
He didn't say what kind of tree he is, but I'm thinking oak … or maybe red maple.
Dan (shown in the first photo below) works for Attorney General Mike DeWine and commutes from Clintonville to Downtown.
I don't think he knew he was a forest (until now), but is more than happy to help save the world.
Dan is president of the Central Ohio Mountain Biking Organization, or COMBO, and just loves to ride, especially on a couple inches of fresh snow.
"Snow is great, it's very pleasant," he said, adding he's not much a fan of ice-covered bike paths and roads.
What about that day a while back when it was 6 below?
"It's all about layers," Dan said, adding that when properly layered he works up a bit of a sweat even when it's below 0. Sometimes "ice crystals do form" around his face and hat and goggles and his toes did "get a little cold" the day it was 6 below.
I learned some new things and David and Dan reinforced a few things I already knew: it really is all about layers, wool and wicking; Metro Parks is pretty good about plowing the bike paths; studded tires can handle icy roads without much of a problem; and you need lots and lots of lights if you ride on the streets in the dark.
"It did take a few years to get the clothes dialed in just right," Dan said.
He uses clip-in pedals and wears cycling boots in the winter that are waterproof "and pretty warm."
Under his boots he wears a thin pair cycling socks and a thicker, woolen sock on top of these. He also wears two pairs of gloves: a thin under glove and a thicker and waterproof pair over the under gloves.
Dan lives in Clintonville and rides the Olentangy Trail most of the way to his office Downtown.
"Metro Parks started plowing the paths a few years ago, but the policy was only when it was two inches or more of snow," he said. "But they got such a phenomenal response from everyone that they changed their policy and now they plow it when it's an inch."
The tricky part about riding the trail is the freeze-melt cycle.
"It will melt and then freeze and you get a thin layer of ice," Dan said, adding that when the path is icy, he'll ride on High Street instead.
Cycling in the winter is a mostly mental.
"If you go from a warm car to a warm office and are only outside in the cold for 30 seconds it's brutal," Dan said. "But if your mindset is to be outside and enjoy half an hour of exercise, it's fun. People ski in this weather and enjoy it."
David started commuting to the EPA office by bike in 2006 and initially only rode when the weather was pleasant. By 2008 he was riding most of the year. Starting in mid-2009 he began a four-year stretch of only commuting by bike, regardless of the weather.
"Then I let go of the streak … I was becoming too much of a perfectionist," he said, adding he has bike commuted to work every day this year.
David has a bike for every weather condition, nine all together.
In the winter his go-to bike is his single-speed cyclocross. When there's snow on the ground he has a fat bike (they have really wide, or fat, tires and love to roll through the snow) and when it's icy he has a bike with studded tires.
"They have 200 studs per tire and they grip anything," he said.
David also has a cargo bike that he uses to ride his son to school, which isn't far from home. He'll then ride the cargo bike to work.
"But (Jordan) has declared that if it's colder than 28 he doesn't want to go that way," David said.
Instead, he'll take his son to school in his car, drive back home, hop on one the appropriate bike and cycle in to work.
Fortunately, Jordan, 11, is a chip off the old branch.
"He has a few bikes and it's becoming more common for him to ride to school," David said.
This should add a few trees to the forest.Continue ReadingPosted by Steve Wartenberg on March 03, 2015 09:52 AM

"Highly Enjoyable"
Plot is well developed with excellent pace and characters are penned with a sapient hand. Rather than thin, transparent characters, Ken Scholes writes with insight.
I prefer stories/authors who are able to maintain an interesting tale, something Ken has a strong sense for. When an author is able to meld interesting and character depth it is a satisfying and enjoyable balance!
I found the story hard to finish, but I did with little interest. About half way through I realized my interest was no longer being held. Pondering why I think it is due to a lack of personality in the characters, they do not invoke emotional response. I could have stopped listening, but finished to see if the ending was worthy. So-so.
