In recent decades, global attention to the harrowing state of health in sub-Saharan Africa has increased dramatically. Funding to combat the major health problems there has reached unprecedented levels, and marked improvements have been made. In Zanzibar (Tanzania), for example, malaria deaths have been cut substantially. And in Uganda, maternal mortality has dropped by more than half.
Despite these improvements, the health of the vast majority of people in sub-Saharan Africa remains in jeopardy. From 1990 to 2005, life expectancy slid by more than 2 years, to 47.1 years. What's more, millions of Africans still suffer from diseases that are relatively simple to prevent or treat.
As the region's health systems struggle to meet basic standards of care, many experts have come to believe that systemwide barriers to its delivery are preventing greater progress. A comprehensive approach is required to overcome these barriers. But how can systemwide changes occur in countries that struggle to provide even basic care? To address this issue, the Touch Foundation, a nonprofit organization active in Tanzania, and McKinsey recently conducted an intensive investigation of the health system in the Lake Zone, in the northwest part of the country. This area was chosen because it is small enough to be studied in detail but large enough to serve as a suitable geographic proxy for Tanzania as a whole and, potentially, for the entire sub-Saharan region.
These initiatives will require new investments, and we do not underestimate the difficulty in finding the necessary funds. But because the initiatives are targeted, their impact would be disproportionate to their cost. The diagnostic approach we used in the Lake Zone provides a way to move past the debate about whether countries in sub-Saharan Africa should pursue "vertical" programs targeted to specific disease outcomes or "horizontal" efforts to strengthen health systems. Any health system, in sub-Saharan Africa or elsewhere, could adapt this approach.
The poor health of so many people in sub-Saharan Africa has been widely known for years. Over the past decade, however, Africa's health care crisis has received renewed attention because of factors such as the spread of HIV/AIDS and a greater understanding of the link between health and economic development.
These efforts have produced important results. In a growing number of African nations, the catastrophic rate of new adult HIV infections appears to be falling: according to the UNAIDS (the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS), the number of new infections in sub-Saharan Africa declined by approximately 25 percent in 2008. Similarly, tuberculosis rates are slowly decreasing across the region. Malaria incidence and mortality are declining not only in Zanzibar but also in several other parts of Africa.
Nevertheless, the region continues to face profound health challenges. Tanzania, for example, has made progress against childhood mortality, yet one in every nine Tanzanian children still dies before age five. And the country's maternal mortality rate remains stubbornly high, despite almost three-quarters of these deaths being preventable.
Using clinical pathways to understand care delivery
The Lake Zone investigation was based on the idea that the best way to identify systemwide barriers to better health care delivery would be to understand how people use a health system and how they experience it. Thus, the investigation used "clinical pathways" to map the routes patients take from the onset to the resolution of health issues.
To identify the barriers, the investigation examined four different pathways, each reflecting a different facet of the system's performance. Malaria was selected to study how well the system addresses communicable diseases. Trauma was included because the treatment of accident victims reflects the performance of hospitals. Child and maternal health helped illuminate why the Lake Zone has not made greater progress in reducing mortality in these two important areas. Maternal health is also widely seen as an indicator of the performance of the whole health system. Together, these four pathways revealed how well it provides preventive and diagnostic services and effective treatments.
To establish how care is actually delivered, the investigators visited more than 40 hospitals and clinics and conducted focus groups with patients as well as interviews with more than 200 frontline health professionals, including doctors, nurses, and pharmacists.
When compiled, this information revealed many gaps in care delivery in each pathway. Further analysis revealed that two sets of barriers underlay all the gaps: problems impeding on-the-ground care delivery and the systemwide weaknesses allowing them to persist.
Our investigation aimed to identify the primary barriers thwarting the delivery of preventive health services, diagnostic services, and effective treatments in the Lake Zone. To define the effort, we constructed four different clinical pathways that describe the journey patients take through the health system. Because each pathway focused on a specific health problem—malaria, child health, maternal health, and trauma care—together they provided insights into how the system functions as a whole (see sidebar, "Using clinical pathways to understand care delivery").
This innovative approach provides several benefits. It offers a window into how patients actually experience the health system as well as a comprehensive view of how care is delivered on the ground. In addition, by enabling comparisons between actual care delivery and best-practice international guidelines, it illuminates gaps between them. More important, it exposes the barriers that allow these gaps to persist.
Three mutually reinforcing problems make up the most important barriers in all four pathways: access to primary care is at most only one-third of what the Lake Zone requires, the workforce is only a fraction of the size needed, and several operational weaknesses prevent the system from functioning well.
In the Lake Zone, the greatest gaps in delivery occur in primary care. About two-thirds of it is provided by the public-health system, the remainder by nonprofit organizations, private enterprises, or the informal sector (traditional healers or moonlighting health workers, for example). Primary care delivered in the public sector is mostly free, but private and nonprofit organizations often charge user fees. In addition, patients often opt to pay out of pocket for services delivered in the informal sector. Despite the services all these groups provide, primary care in the Lake Zone remains woefully insufficient.
Two types of facilities deliver primary-care services there: dispensaries and health centers. Dispensaries are small clinics that provide basic consultations, diagnostic services, treatment for routine conditions, and referrals for more advanced treatments. Health centers provide these services as well as certain more advanced ones. The shortage of both types of facilities makes it difficult for people, especially mothers and children, to gain access to primary care conveniently. Further, the facilities' effectiveness is compromised by significant shortages of medical supplies and skilled staff and by the frequent absence of electricity and clean water. Within all four clinical pathways we studied, we found that the greatest gaps in care delivery occur at the dispensaries, with the health centers faring little better.
Health care workers are in short supply across sub-Saharan Africa, especially in Tanzania. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that the country should have a medical workforce of about 92,000. The government aspires to have an even larger one—approximately 140,500—by 2019. But at present, the country has only about 25,400 health care workers.1 1. In Tanzania, qualified health workers include specialists (surgeons and pediatricians, for example), medical officers (doctors with at least six years of training), clinical officers (who typically undergo three years of training), assistant medical officers (clinical officers who have practiced for at least three years and undergo another two of training), and nurses (who receive three or four years of training). They also include the recently introduced clinical assistants (who will receive two years of training) and other ancillary groups, such as pharmacy and laboratory technicians. One reason for the shortage is an insufficient number of training programs: Tanzania has fewer than 100 training institutions, which together produce fewer than 4,000 graduates a year. Up to 30 percent of the country's health workers leave the system within a year after training. Those who graduate often take up other forms of employment as a result of low salaries (with payments often delayed by over a year), the remote location and poor quality of most primary-care facilities, the lack of choice about initial postings, and the absence of access to additional training, among other reasons.
Health facilities thus often lack workers with the skills to meet basic standards of care. According to government guidelines, dispensaries should be staffed by eight health workers, but in practice most have only one or two. Health centers are supposed to have about 30 staff members but typically have less than half that. Too often, the health workers at these facilities do not have appropriate training or access to continuing medical education. In addition, productivity is low; on average, staff members spend only about 40 percent of their work time on patient care.
In addition to these problems, three systemic weaknesses prevent the Lake Zone's health system from achieving better results.
Lack of money. The WHO's Commission on Macroeconomics and Health has estimated that most developing nations need to spend $30 to $40 per person a year to reach the United Nations' Millennium Development Goals (MDG). Tanzania's annual per capita spending is only about $20.
Weak management practices. Few dispensaries, health centers, and hospitals use effective performance-management tools. Many incentives for health workers are misaligned—workers are rewarded for tenure, not patient outcomes, for example. In addition, the Lake Zone lacks the information systems to support health care delivery; one reason supply shortages are common in dispensaries and health centers is that the health system has no good way to track stock levels. The system's supply chain also suffers from weak managerial oversight and poor procurement and distribution processes.
Mind-sets and behavior. Interviews with staff members (especially those working in primary care) suggest that many are demoralized by the same factors that cause their colleagues to leave health care. Patients detect this demoralization; many view health workers as unmotivated, unaccountable, and unskilled. Many patients therefore have a poor perception of the health system overall and delay seeking needed care, seek it only at hospitals (which are seen as providing better care), or pay for it out of pocket.
These problems reinforce one another: low financing, for example, translates to low salaries and supply levels, which contribute to low morale, which then leads to low productivity and retention rates. If health care is to be delivered effectively in the Lake Zone, this vicious circle must be turned into a virtuous one. Better and more readily available services and supplies could attract more patients, which could lead to increased revenues and salaries and, eventually, to higher morale, productivity, and retention.
Extending the reach of primary care and improving its performance requires action on several fronts simultaneously—including new delivery models to increase access, a greater role for nonprofit and private organizations in service delivery, and the introduction of performance incentives to improve it.
Other developing countries use three innovative delivery models to provide low-cost primary care. Community health workers have only limited training but undertake health promotion activities and serve as liaisons to more highly trained colleagues. Because almost every village can have its own community health worker, the basics of health care delivery are available to all. Mobile health care is a way to extend the reach of dispensaries and health centers. Health workers regularly travel to surrounding unserved villages (one day a week, for example), bringing basic medical supplies and communication tools. Call centers staffed by nurses (with oversight from doctors) can support both community and mobile health workers, who use mobile phones or other communication technologies to consult with call center staff.
To enhance performance in the public-sector dispensaries and health centers, the health system could offer its workforce incentives. At present, these facilities are staffed by salaried employees with little motivation to improve care delivery. Many developed countries address a similar problem by basing reimbursement on a combination of capitation and some kind of fee-for-service or pay-for-performance model to balance the need to increase service against budget limitations. Tanzania has begun to move in this direction; for example, it now offers pay-for-performance bonuses to health workers who meet certain infant- and maternal-care objectives.
Tanzania could go further. Many countries encourage ownership of some forms of care delivery. Even in publicly financed systems such as the UK National Health System, for example, most general practitioners own their practices. Tanzania could use similar approaches.
One innovation that has been used successfully elsewhere is to encourage nonprofit and private organizations to provide more primary care. In some developing countries, dispensaries and health centers that are owner-operated or managed through a social-franchising model complement public-sector facilities. In Kenya, for example, more than 65 franchised dispensaries provide health care to more than 350,000 patients annually. The cost of these facilities is covered not only by government spending and donor contributions but also by payments from patients—which gives staff an incentive to improve care delivery. Having Tanzanians pay for some health services is not a new idea; estimates suggest that in 2006 alone, they spent $208 million to $265 million out of pocket on health care.
To work properly, incentives must be supported by detailed operational data on the number of patients seen and the conditions treated. Routine collection of such data is therefore essential. The rapidly expanding use of mobile phones makes this feasible even in resource-poor environments.
Tanzania's Twiga Initiative aims to double the country's capacity to train health workers (to 7,500 a year, from 3,850). Although this plan could increase the health system's workforce to 48,000 (from 25,000) by about 2019, staffing will still be much too low. Four additional measures should be considered: new kinds of workers with shorter training requirements, as well as improved staff retention, training capabilities, and staff productivity.
Most health workers in Tanzania receive at least two years of training and an average of three. However, average training times could fall considerably if two new types of health workers were introduced: one would provide basic primary care at dispensaries, the other the forms of community outreach described above. The experience of other developing countries suggests that these workers could be educated in about one year. In this way, Tanzania could educate another 26,500 workers within ten years.
These new health workers will not reduce the need for staff members willing to work in rural areas. To help attract health workers (especially doctors and nurses) to the countryside and encourage them to remain there, Tanzania could offer student loans and incentive packages, as well as an increased commitment from local districts to maintain the quality of health care facilities. In addition, the country could introduce e-learning and active mentorship programs to improve ongoing training.
Tanzania's hospitals will play a crucial role in expanding workforce-training programs, creating and delivering e-learning capabilities, and developing new mentorship programs. They should enhance their clinical-leadership, performance-management, and talent-management capacities and form networks to establish more effective referral arrangements from primary-care providers and among district, regional, and tertiary hospitals. Such networks could also deliver continuing medical education within catchment areas and increase collaboration among facilities. Hospitals could partner with international educational institutions for access to information about recent advances in care as well.
Tanzania cannot, however, solve its workforce crisis without improving the productivity of its workers—currently at 40 percent of best-practice levels—to about 55 percent (a reasonable target by international standards). Hospitals could lead the way by undertaking performance-improvement programs to increase their own productivity and expose trainees to more efficient methods, which the trainees could then use in primary care. A standardized performance-improvement program aimed specifically at dispensaries and health centers could have a significant impact if staff members had appropriate incentives and were open to change.
Three fundamental changes must occur for the health system to improve care in a real and substantial way. None will be easy to make, but all are necessary.
Although the health system must receive more funding, current economic conditions, both in the world and Tanzania, make significant increases unrealistic. We therefore propose new models of primary care and new ways to extend the workforce. These changes could increase the health system's coverage in the Lake Zone significantly, in an efficient and economical way. Today, the system reaches only about one-third of the region's population. Without changes in the way the system operates, funding might therefore have to triple for it to provide adequate health care to the entire population. By contrast, our recommendations would double coverage in the Lake Zone for a 35 percent increase in funding. Full coverage would be possible with a 70 percent increase.
Even these approaches will be a challenge to implement in the Lake Zone in the near term. In recent years, however, Tanzania's GDP has risen at twice the rate of population growth (6 percent versus 3 percent); even in 2008, the country posted a solid GDP gain. Thanks to this trend alone, Tanzania's per capita spending on health care should increase by 70 percent in 18 years. Furthermore, if GDP growth remains strong, the government might be able to increase the share of its budget devoted to health care to the level it embraced in the Abuja Declaration, which Tanzania and 43 other African countries signed in 2001, committing themselves to spending 15 percent of their budgets on public health.
If the budget allocation rose from its current level (about 11 percent) to the promised 15 percent, the system's public funding would rise by almost 36 percent—reducing the time needed to achieve a 70 percent increase to 13 years. Some gains from GDP growth would, however, be offset by health care inflation. Nevertheless, we estimate that by 2019, Tanzania's per capita health care spending could increase by 85 percent. Indeed, even if GDP growth was lower in 2009 than it had been previously, Tanzania could boost health care funding considerably by 2019.
These calculations assume that the percentage of total health care funding contributed by the private sector remains steady. For this to happen, both out-of-pocket spending by Tanzanians and overseas development aid would have to go on rising in line with GDP growth. Given the current recession, maintaining such growth in the near term will be another challenge. However, donors may value the chance to act as catalysts for the needed change, especially if their money serves to prime the pump for a decade while the country builds a sustainable financial model for domestic funding. Whether Tanzanians can afford higher total out-of-pocket payments is unclear, but by offering innovative care models with better service delivery, private or nonprofit providers might capture a greater share of the payments currently going to the informal sector.
The implementation of our ideas to improve primary care and workforce capacity will require significant oversight from Tanzania's Ministry of Health and district officials. Thus, they will need to strengthen their leadership capabilities, especially their ability to monitor the delivery of ambitious initiatives and to provide effective stewardship for the system.
Information technology can help; officials could, for example, harness the power of mobile phones to collect data and manage operations in individual facilities. IT could also significantly improve the system's supply chain to ensure that adequate amounts of drugs and equipment are available when needed. Nonprofit and faith-based organizations in Tanzania report that they have far fewer stock-outs and lower supply chain costs than the government-run Medical Stores Department. Their results suggest that Tanzania could strengthen the department's performance, open the provision of supplies to private competition, or both.
Routine data collection would let officials monitor demand for services and the deployment and productivity of the staff at each facility. Once aggregated, data could be used to survey health trends, spot emerging issues, and assess the performance of the whole health system.
Providers outside the public system could play an important role in extending its reach, but the ministry would have to ensure that they delivered quality care at a reasonable price. Although greater oversight of nonprofit and private providers is needed, the regulations should help the latter operate sustainably anywhere, not just in high-income areas.
Pay-for-performance bonuses and other incentive programs would motivate health workers to provide high-quality care efficiently. Improved delivery of supplies would reduce frustration. Better management capabilities would help ensure that workers were paid on time. To further improve the attitudes of health workers, the system should give them management training and other skill-development opportunities and a more supportive working environment. And it should ensure that its clinical leaders are effective role models.
A mind-set shift among patients is needed as well so that they seek needed treatments more promptly. The presence of community health workers in each village may help change mind-sets by making patients see that the health system is addressing their immediate needs.
Our experience in other sub-Saharan countries suggests that many of them face similar problems. An investigative approach similar to the one described here can enable countries to identify the specific barriers that prevent them from delivering health care effectively and the initiatives that would have the greatest impact in overcoming the barriers. Those countries can strengthen their health systems, make significant progress in improving care delivery, and—most important—save many lives.

"Wrong" is a surreal shaggy dog story about a loser who wakes up one morning to find that his beloved pooch has disappeared. Composed of skit-like scenes and populated by gimmicky characters, the movie is flimsy, glib, and occasionally pretty funny.
The loser (Jack Plotnick, sporting a mustache and a cowlick hairdo) is named Dolph Springer. Though Dolph is unemployed, he can somehow afford a roomy Los Angeles house and a full-time gardener (Eric Judor). However, "Wrong" is a movie where human-to-canine telepathy, indoor rainstorms, and a technology that visualizes the "memories" of feces all exist; perhaps its world also includes French landscapers who will come in five days a week for free.
Eventually, Dolph learns that his pet has been abducted by a ring of well-meaning dognappers led by the enigmatic Master Chang (a perversely committed William Fichtner). Half New Age guru, half supervillain, Master Chang is the locus of the movie's best jokes. He may be a menacing criminal mastermind with telepathic abilities, but he's also incompetent and unbearably sentimental. His henchmen abduct pets not for profit, but so that their owners can learn to better appreciate them. He dispenses useless "wisdom" and tells personal stories that reveal more stupidity than cunning (his scarred face, for instance, turns out to be the result of having doused himself with acid on a dare).
Of course, Master Chang isn't the only idiot in "Wrong." In fact, the movie has a whole cast of them: Dolph's fidgety neighbor (Regan Burns); a pet detective (Steve Little) who refuses to look at a picture of the dog he's supposed to be looking for; a flighty, bird-brained pizzeria employee (Alexis Dziena) who thinks that Dolph and his gardener are the same person and ends up leaving her husband for him/them.
Written, directed, photographed, edited and co-scored by Quentin Dupieux — a man who is the living definition of "Jack of all trades, master of none" — "Wrong" often resembles a student film stretched to feature length. Dupieux's style is efficient but underdeveloped, and leans heavily on rack focus — where the camera dramatically re-focuses from one object to another — as a form of visual punctuation. His music is pleasant but often ill-fitting. His over-use of shallow depth-of-field gives "Wrong" the visual texture of a well-produced web video.
What keeps the movie afloat is Dupieux's penchant for absurdist gags — funny, surreal conceits and concepts. Dolph's former workplace — where he still shows up despite having been fired three months ago — is constantly experiencing a torrential indoor downpour. His neighbor talks about jogging like a junkie being confronted about his heroin addiction. Both the gardener and the pizzeria employee struggle with basic object recognition.
Dupieux's previous feature was "Rubber" (2010), a B-movie send-up about a sentient tire with telekinetic abilities. "Wrong" dispenses with the earlier film's over-the-top gore and heady meta-movie hijinks — characters addressing the viewer, an on-screen "audience" observing the action — in favor of unpretentious comedy and non-confrontational cutesiness. This makes "Wrong" more palatable — but also blander. What "Rubber" lacked in pay-off, it made up for with personality. While "Wrong" exhibits a well-developed (though hardly original) comic sensibility, its flat style means that no gag, however weird, has any bite.
If the film had any depth, Dupieux's humor could be subversive. His favorite targets, after all, are authority figures — cops, firemen, employers. The absurd can serve as a commentary on reality; without a firm grounding, however, all it can be is amusingly weird. In "Wrong," Dupieux opts for "shallow" laughs — jokes without characters, subtext, or a tinge of truth. His gags are gags and nothing more.

Quincy neighborhood to get high-speed Internet

A Quincy neighborhood will soon be the first in the county to have high-speed Internet.
The Sierra Park community on Lee Road is expected to link up to Plumas-Sierra Telecommunication's broadband services in July.
Plumas-Sierra General Manager Bob Marshall said Sierra Park represents a good template for how he expects the fiber optic network to expand "in pockets and clumps."
"This is a great example of these guys organizing themselves and figuring out 'How do we make this work?'" Marshall said. "It's really a matter of when people come in groups, it's so much cheaper."
The cost to Sierra Park's residents might be lower than in many communities. The homeowners benefited from being close to Plumas-Sierra's main fiber optic line. The community's developer also spent about $15,000 on infrastructure — including conduits to each home.
Les Ellis, of Sierra Park Property Development, said his company planned ahead for the fiber optic arrival. Sierra Park began installing conduits in 2006. Twelve of the small neighborhood's 16 homeowners said they were willing to pay for the rest of the installation.
Ellis said each homeowner will pay $300 for the installation and $109 per month for the service.
Plumas-Sierra's sales manager, Joe Okoneski, said the broadband service will produce speeds that are 10 times faster than DSL service, even during peak usage times.
During a May 30 open house at Sierra Park, Marshall and Okoneski emphasized that it's up to neighbors to form groups if they want to tap Plumas-Sierra's fast Internet. The more people in the group, the cheaper it will be for each of them.
"We are going to expect people to come out to us," Marshall said. He added the nice thing about rural communities is people often help each other with projects. In this case, someone who owns a trencher could help dig a path to the main line.
"This isn't a passive thing," Marshall said. "People have to want it and be willing to work for it."
Okoneski said many county buildings are already hooked up, as is much of downtown Quincy. He said Graeagle businesses will have service soon.
Marshall said Grizzly Ranch should be online later this year.
"We are going to grow our system organically," Marshall said. "In Grizzly Ranch, we may be able to bring it up commercial in the first leg."
He said each new community that hooks up will make it more cost-effective for the next group of neighbors down the line.
"You organize the next block of neighbors," Marshall said. "They come in. Agree to do it. Eventually you get to Lake Davis."
Okoneski said ideally 60 to 70 percent of the homeowners in a neighborhood should form a group.
"Greenhorn Ranch is a good example. We spoke with them earlier tonight and they said 'Well, how can we get it?'" Okoneski said. "I said let's get your people organized. Get them all in one place, and we'll come up and talk. We'll answer any questions. We'll give you more information, so you can go out as a group and make a good, educated decision. And I think they are going to do that."
Business and residential groups are encouraged to call Okoneski at 832-4126 or go to plumassierratelecom.com for more information.

The Clinical Practice of Chinese Medicine (9780966991611)
Publisher: Spirit Path Press
Binding: Hardcover
This work explicates how to achieve the core value system at the heart of Nourishing Destiny in clinical practice. All treatment paradigms are fully elaborated to allow immediate integration into the clinic. I cover in detail the points on the 12 main channels cross referencing every character in every main and alternate point name to Weiger's etymological text and to Mathews' Chinese-English dictionary. I also fully elaborate the Worsley five-element tradition with a fresh perspective for the twenty first century. A chapter on Clearing Blocks with Chinese Herbs contains a beautifully written piece by Thea Elijah on treating possession, exit/entry blocks, and clearing the sensory orifices with herbal medicine. A 60 page chapter discusses the in depth use of the five element points on each channel with an eye toward engendering the integral consciousness that lies at the heart of Chinese medicine. In conclusion I examine the four thousand year history of Chinese Medicine from the perspective of Spiral Dynamics, a model that yields deep insight into the evolution of consciousness. I examine where Chinese medicine has been, where it is, and where it needs to go if it is to fulfil its potential as a leading edge holistic/integral medicine. In all, the book is approximately 850 pages and, like Nourishing Destiny, is designed and built to the highest standard.

By Rodrigo Campos
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Exxon Mobil Corp has reclaimed its place as the largest U.S. publicly traded company by market value one year after losing it to Apple Inc, as shares of the technology giant extended their recent fall on Friday.
Apple's market capitalization has fallen by about $250 billion - roughly the total market value of Google Inc - since hitting a high last September, when the stock traded above $700.
Apple shares traded as low as $435 before closing down 2.4 percent on Friday at $439.88, for a market value of roughly $413 billion. Exxon shares, up 0.4 percent on the day to $91.73, added to a market value of about $418.2 billion.
Apple "was clearly a momentum stock. Whenever the numbers behind momentum stocks stop, the momentum players are out and the stock tumbles," said Kim Forrest, senior equity research analyst, Fort Pitt Capital Group in Pittsburgh.
There was heavy volume in Apple shares as they hit the session low shortly before the closing bell. The stock dropped by as much as $7, to $435 from $442, within the span of 1 second during the last minute of trading.
More than 50 orders were executed on NYSE Arca at $435 a share, according to Thomson Reuters time-and-sales data, in blocks as small as 100 shares and as large as 10,494 shares.
No other exchange executed orders at a price lower than $438 a share prior to the day's close. After those trades went through, the stock resumed its earlier levels around $442 a share before closing at $439.88.
Apple shares slid 12.4 percent on Thursday - their biggest percentage drop since late September 2008 - as disappointing holiday-period iPhone sales reinforced fears the company is losing its dominance in smartphones.
Apple shipped a record 47.8 million iPhones in the December quarter, up 29 percent from a year earlier. But that lagged the 50 million that analysts on average had projected.
"They make great products, expensive products, but as a value investor I'm interested in the unloved stocks, just not the recently unloved ones," Forrest said.
Apple's reign as largest company by market value began in the last week of January 2012, when it surpassed Exxon.

Hanson, Parker square off in finale of four-game set
Matchup could make runs hard to come by for Angels, A's
When the Angels and A's conclude their four-game series on Sunday, all eyes will be on the starting pitchers.
Tommy Hanson will take the ball for the Angels and is looking to build on an outing that prompted manager Mike Scioscia to say, "That's the best stuff I've seen Tommy have."
Hanson pitched 5 1/3 innings in a no-decision Tuesday his last time out, but it was his velocity, which was consistently between 92 and 94 mph, that excited the Angels.
"I didn't feel like I had to force anything," Hanson said. "It was there. I felt really good, and I feel like the results were there."
The Angels hope Hanson is just as effective on Sunday as runs will likely be hard to come by against the A's. Oakland's pitching staff has posted a 2.87 ERA over the past 25 games.
Jarrod Parker will attempt to continue that trend, and if his recent history is any indication, the A's should expect a strong start.
Parker has registered a quality start in 11 of his past 12 outings and has allowed five hits or fewer in each of his last 10 starts.
Angels: Vargas progressing
• Jason Vargas, who has been on the disabled list since a blood clot was discovered in his left armpit area, threw a bullpen session on Friday and is on track to rejoin the rotation by mid-August.
"I feel 100 percent," Vargas said Saturday. "I feel good. I feel fantastic."
It remains to be seen how long Vargas' rehab assignment would last, but the Angels have struggled without him in the rotation.
A's: Anderson moving toward simulated game
• Following a successful up-and-down bullpen session on Saturday, left-hander Brett Anderson is getting closer to rejoining his teammates.
"I feel strong," Anderson said. "My body's a non-issue, more so focusing on my pitching and making sure my pitches are where they are. It was another positive bullpen."
Anderson, who has been out since April with a stress fracture in his right foot, threw 51 pitches in the bullpen. A simulated game, followed by a rehab assignment, is likely the next step.
Worth noting
• The Angels lineup again could be without Albert Pujols, who flew to Southern California following Friday's game to have his left foot examined. Mike Trout hit third for the Angels in Pujols' absence.
• Parker is 2-2 with a 3.16 ERA in six career starts against the Angels. This season, Parker has started two games against the Halos and is 1-0 with a 4.82 ERA.

If you want to "sponsor" a family, consider the impact of sponsoring a child on both the family and community. When Compassion children experience success in their lives — no matter how big or small — they are excited to share with their loved ones. Sponsorship of one child touches the lives of many relatives, so while you can't sponsor a family, you can provide help to the family through the child.
When poverty is prevalent, bringing in funds for the household becomes a family affair. In impoverished countries, many children cannot go to school because they must work. Even though Compassion offers one-to-one child sponsorship, an educated child with greater earning potential can significantly affect household income. In a sense, then, when you sponsor a child, by extension you sponsor a family!
Help a child, help a community
Compassion's unique approach to child development is to raise healthy, balanced children. Children who are balanced spiritually, emotionally, socially and physically can help their families and communities in extraordinary ways. Rather than sponsor a family, sponsor a child through an environment that is:
Sponsoring a child through Compassion is easy. You can develop a loving relationship with your child through letters and photographs. You can even visit your child. You will experience the gratification of knowing you're not only touching the life of one child, but actually having an effect on a family and perhaps an entire community that desperately needs the skills and contributions of your Compassion child. Don't wait — sponsor your child today!
Though Compassion can't help you actually sponsor a family, we can help you impact a family as you sponsor a child in need. Your commitment to sponsor a child helps a family and a community as you provide that child with the tools to rise from poverty and help others.

Your tax-deductible contribution of just $38 a month connects a child living in poverty with a loving, church-based Child Sponsorship Program.
Your support provides:
When you sponsor a child, you'll receive your child's photo, personal story and a child sponsorship packet by mail in approximately 10 days.
When children find out they've been sponsored, the joy they feel is indescribable. Just knowing that someone across the globe cares means more than you can imagine. Sponsoring a child in need will profoundly change the future for your child, and will change your own life as well.
Compassion consistently receives high ratings for financial accountability and integrity.
Charity Navigator, America's largest charity evaluator, has awarded Compassion its highest rating — four stars — for 14 consecutive years, placing Compassion in the top 1 percent of all charities.

Experience may factor as Cards meet Nats in NLDS
That would be your defending World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals, who return several of the players who refused to lose last October, facing the Washington Nationals, who are in the postseason for the first time since the franchise moved from Montreal after the 2004 season. Game time at Busch Stadium on TBS on Sunday is 3 p.m. ET.
Nats right fielder Jayson Werth, who appeared in the postseason for the Dodgers in 2004 and the Phillies from 2007-10, insists his team's lack of experience doesn't matter.
"Going into the postseason, you need a lot of weapons, and this team possesses a lot of weapons," said Werth. "Postseason experience doesn't matter. You gain experience by experiencing it. That's the only way. ... [Almost] everyone is going into this situation with no experience. We'll see who stands at the end of the day. I like where we're at. I like our mindset. I like how we come to the park every day ready to play."
Matt Holliday, David Freese and Yadier Molina might disagree with Werth. They well remember Game 6 of last year's World Series, when the Cards were down to their last strike not once but twice in extra innings and came back to win against the Rangers. And they showed their mettle again Friday night by going on the road and winning their one-game Wild Card playoff against the Braves.
St. Louis has the clear edge in postseason experience when it comes to the rotations. Adam Wainwright, who will start Game 1 Sunday, Jaime Garcia (Game 2) and Chris Carpenter (Game 3) have all pitched in the playoffs.
"I think it does count for something," Wainwright said after Saturday's workout at Busch Stadium. "I think it depends on the man as well. I think some people have it inside them to step up and play great ball no matter what it is, and some people can get tight. I also think playing in big moments year after year gives you an edge. I feel like you'll be more comfortable in those situations. It gives you a sense of being comfortable in tight spots. I really do think that."
Cardinals manager Mike Matheny agreed.
"I've been very clear that I think it's huge for our guys," Matheny said. "But I want to be clear with that, too. I don't claim that we have an advantage against or over another team. I think it's an advantage for our guys individually. So every day they have postseason experience, every day they have of going down to the wire in September helps them in their development as players individually. And I think that in itself helps us as a team collectively.
"So I don't think you can say enough about what those guys went through in 2011, what they overcame, how much they were the underdog and how they were ruled out and all those things that brought them together."
Gio Gonzalez led the Major Leagues with 21 wins, but he will be pitching in the postseason for the first time. In fact, the only Nats starter who has pitched in the postseason is Game 3 starter Edwin Jackson.
Also, since the Nationals decided to rest Gonzalez after clinching, he hasn't pitched under game conditions since Sept. 27.
"I was telling [pitching coach Steve McCatty] that I need to throw, still need to stay in shape, still stay where I need to be, and he understood that 100 percent," Gonzalez said. "This is a learning curve for me, so I need to prepare myself for something like this. Some way, somehow, I'll find it and try to figure it out."
Once the first pitch is thrown, though, all that will matter is which team pitches, hits and fields better. As Matheny put it: "I look at our club [and] I see a team that's tough to beat. They're going to continue to believe in themselves. You can talk about it, but you've got to execute."
Cardinals: Don't look back
The Cards hosted the Nats in the next-to-last series of the season and won two out of three at Busch Stadium, winning the opener, 12-2, and the series finale, 10-4. Washington needed extra innings to win the middle game, but Matheny reacted strongly to the idea that his team won "handily."
"There was nothing 'handily' about it," the manager said Friday night. "A very good team. We have the utmost respect for Davey Johnson and that club. They have all the components to a winning team. It's just going to be an opportunity for our guys to go out and compete, and that's all they're looking for. You can take your predictions and underdogs and do whatever you want with them, because it all happens out on the field, and our guys are prepared to go and compete."
This is the 18th year there has been a Division Series. The Cardinals have appeared in 10 of them.
Nationals: Past and future
Teams waiting to see who their next opponent will be in the playoffs routinely deny that they have a preference. And in the case of the Nats, the regular season doesn't provide much guidance.
Washington was 4-3 head to head against St. Louis this season, winning three out of four at Nationals Park before dropping two of three at Busch Stadium in September.
Count Werth among the firm believers in his team.
"We have a great clubhouse, we have a great group of guys, we have a manager who is tough as nails, but also is real easy to play for," the veteran outfielder said. "We have a great support staff with our coaches and trainers. We have kids coming up from the Minor Leagues helping us win ballgames. We have a group of guys ... who have more heart than maybe any other team I ever played on."
Worth noting
Believe in the hot-team theory in the postseason? The Cards went 12-4 to finish the regular season before winning Friday night's Wild Card playoff at Turner Field. The Nats, by contrast, were 9-10 down the stretch.
Gonzalez won his only start against the Cardinals this season, pitched a five-hit shutout at Nationals Park on Aug. 31. St. Louis, on the other hand, had the third-best record in the Major Leagues against lefty starters at 31-17.
Wainwright was 1-1 with a 7.27 ERA against the Nats in 2012.

Flatter any form with the sophisticated cowls, twists and ruffles of bias-draped fabric. Designer Paul Gallo shares decades of high-fashion experience as he teaches you how to drape on the bias and create pattern pieces for stunning blouses, dresses and skirts. You'll learn how to choose the appropriate fabric, whether slinky or structured, and drape it on a dress form, then turn your draped design into a paper pattern. Explore pleats, tucks and twists as you incorporate many draped elements into a single pattern and create a bias-cut dress or blouse of your own design!
Meet your instructor, Paul Gallo, and learn about the rich history of bias draping.
"This is a fantastic class full of useful information and techniques when you want to make a garment on bias! Paul Gallo's teaching style is relaxed and to the point. There is space for your own creativity. The possibility of making notes when watching the class and watching the class over and over again is wonderful. Even being more advanced in sewing, I still learned a few new techniques and got some useful tips."
Another great Craftsy class!"

For 32 bit you can simply take the 0 pkg, but for 64 bit you should use the 1 pkg, because it has got the 32 bit libs too. Higher numbers indicate precompiled kernel modules which are in most cases useless.

5/11/12 The Denver Nuggets got 32 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists from point guard Ty Lawson and they kept their season alive with a resounding 113-96 win over the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 6 from the Pepsi Center in Denver. Down 3-1 in the series, the Nuggets have won two straight games on the brink of elimination to force a decisive Game 7 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The Nuggets have gotten huge performances from some unexpected contributors in this series and will look to become just the 9th team in NBA history to rally back from a 3-1 series deficit to win.
The Denver Nuggets lost game one of their first-round Western Conference playoff series against the Los Angeles Lakers by a score of 103-88 on Sunday night at the Staples Center. Andre Miller led the Nuggets overall offensive charge with 12 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists and steal, but it was not enough to overcome the strong 31 point, 5 rebound and 4 assist game by Lakers star Kobe Bryant. Andrew Bynum led the Los Angeles squad in a historic fashion on the defensive end by tying an NBA playoff record with 10 blocked shots in the game. Denver small forward Danilo Gallinari led the Nuggets in points with 19 on the game. Game two will be played on Tuesday in Los Angeles.
5/4/12 The Denver Nuggets have fallen behind 2-0 in their best-of-seven first round series against the Los Angeles Lakers. Ty Lawson scored 25 points and added 7 assists in Game 2, but it wasn't enough to derail the Lakers, as they fell 104-100 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Now, the series will shift back to the Pepsi Center in Denver for Games 3 and 4 and the Nuggets will have to fight to keep the series alive and keep their season going. They will have to stop the perpetual scoring threat of Kobe Bryant and the resurging Andrew Bynum first.
With a playoff spot already clinched, the Denver Nuggets are in a three-way battle for seeding with the Dallas Mavericks and the Utah Jazz. Going into the final few games of the season, Denver and Dallas are only separated by a half game, while Denver and Utah are only separated by a game and a half. The team faces off against the Western Conference leading Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday, however it appears that the team will rest many of its best players in anticipation of the playoffs. The team's final game comes against the Minnesota Timberwolves, who at 26-39 have given up on their playoff hopes.
4/12/12 The Denver Nuggets are holding on tightly to the #8 seed in the Western Conference right now with a record of 32-26, only 1.5 games ahead of the Utah Jazz for that precious last playoff spot in the West. The fast-paced, high-scoring Nuggets offense led by Ty Lawson, Danilo Gallinari and Wilson Chandler has Denver ranked #1 in the NBA in points per game with just over 103 points per night. The Nuggets are also 7th in the league with over 43 rebounds per game as big men Kenneth Faried and JaVale McGee continue to crash the boards night in and night out. Going into the final stretch of the 2012 NBA season, the Denver Nuggets are clinging to the #8 seed with a 32-26 record, just a game above the Utah Jazz in the standings. While the team has won its last two games, it has struggled to create distance between themselves and the Jazz. The Phoenix Suns are also right behind them with a 30-28 record and just two games out of the playoff race. The Nuggets have been paced this season by point guard Ty Lawson, averaging 15.8 points, 6.7 assists and 3.7 rebounds per game. The team has one game remaining against the Phoenix Suns before the regular season comes to a close.

Denver Nuggets 2011 Offseason
Who would have thought that when the Nuggets traded Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups they would have taken 5th seed in the play offs and finished 2nd in their division to Oklahoma City and didn't lose any steam in the journey. The Nuggets made some good moves. They may have lost the big names but they have come together more as a team. George Karl has kept the Nuggets as perennial contenders in the Northwestern Division of the NBA. In the 2011 Draft they came away big with getting back Andre Miller and drafting Jordan Hamilton and Kenneth Faried who are both expected to make impacts in the near future. They lost Raymond Felton but they have Ty Lawson (predecessor guard from UNC of Felton) to fill in. Look for the Nuggets to be contenders again in the 2011-2012 season.
