text: Sweat. It's just one of those strange, gross human phenomena that we don't give much thought to. You sweat buckets during hot yoga, you nervously sweat when you're giving a speech, you feel beads of sweat accumulate on your forehead when you eat extra-spicy Indian curry. Sweat is just...well, sweat. But when you take a second and really think about it�you know, that our bodies basically excrete droplets of salty water when we're overheated or stressed�it's sort of weird, isn't it? Below, we reveal 12 fun facts about sweat. 1. You have between 2 and 4 million sweat glands in your body. �� 2. Your feet alone have about 250,000 sweat glands between them. 3. Sweating from stress and sweating to cool down are chemically different. When you sweat because you�re hot, it comes from your eccrine glands, but when you sweat because you�re stressed, it comes from your apocrine glands. 4. The name for excessive sweating is hyperhidrosis, and about 3% of people have it. 5. Speaking of which, excessive sweating can be a symptom of menopause. 6. On the other hand, the name for absent sweating (or not sweating at all) is anhidrosis, which is dangerous because your body can overheat. 7. There might be some credence to the saying, "Men sweat, women glow." On average, men sweat 40% more than women. 8. The more in shape you are, the more quickly and profusely your body will sweat. It does this to cool itself down so you can�work out at a greater intensity for a longer period of time. 9. Sweat has a stinky reputation, but sweat itself doesn�t actually smell. The odor comes from the bacteria on your skin instead. 10. Pigs actually have very few sweat glands, so the expression �sweating like a pig� is scientifically inaccurate. Instead, it�probably refers to how smelly pigs make themselves by bathing in mud to cool down. 11. The saltiness of sweat varies from person to person. Some people also sweat more than others. 12. If you thought your sweat was conspicuous, consider hippos� sweat: it�s RED. The colored pigment both acts a sunscreen and kills bacteria. This article originally appeared as on Spry Living

Minuteman Hosts World Expo 2011
Minuteman franchisees gathered at Caesar's Palace in late July for their 2011 World Expo. The event was highlighted by a three day vendor show which offered attendees a chance to win a new Konica Minolta bizhub Press C7000 by completing a "passport" stamped by all the vendors exhibiting at the show. The conference itself featured a key note session by Bob Burg, author of the national bestsellers "The Go-Giver" and "Endless Referrals". Educational sessions included breakout seminars on growing revenue with mail services and VDP and social media. QP columnist Dave Fellman presented a session titled "What it Really Means to be a Marketing Services Provider." The final general session featured speaker, successful entrepreneur, and business leader Ron Baron who told attendees "You Can Sell at Higher Prices than Your Competitor." The expo ended with a gala banquet and awards dinner where QP editorial director Bob Hall presented the QP/Minuteman Press Entrepreneurial Excellence Award to franchisee Keith Miller, whose Miller's Minuteman shop is also in the QP Top 100 list.

Everything but Ordinary for Allegra Network
In an industry first, Allegra Network and AlphaGraphics wrapped their individual conferences around a joint trade show at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas in early August. Themed "Everything but Ordinary", the Allegra event drew franchisees from both the Allegra Print & Imaging and Signs Now systems. Keynote speakers included former Kodak CMO Jeffrey Hayzlett, Zappos Insights product manager Robert Richman, IAPHC president Kevin Keane, and Signs Now UK master franchisor Bill Dunphy. Workshops covered social media, sales, sign laws, nonprofits, strategic marketing, Web-to-print, print brokering, diversification, and mobile applications. At the Best of the Best gala, Allegra owners Tom and Sandi Meesseman of Aiken, SC, were presented with the Allegra franchise system's Best of the Best Award. The top honor is presented annually to one franchise location for outstanding sales volume, profitability, and other performance criteria. The Aiken, SC, team was also honored with an additional franchise system award, recognizing sales growth and excellence. "This award honors Tom and Sandi's dedication to running a successful company that is client focused, strategically resourceful, and technologically advanced," said Mike Marcantonio, president and CEO of Allegra Network. "They set the bar high and are a true inspiration for their peers and others in the industry as a whole."

Slow Growth for Print Profits
Printing industry profits were up 1.4% in 2010, compared to a loss of 1.4% in 2009, according to the recently completed 2011–2012 Printing Industries of America Ratios Survey. The sluggish economy and slowing print markets pulled down printers' profitability in 2009, but improving economic conditions helped the print industry pick up steam and reverse the trends in 2010. The average printer's before-tax profit on sales of 1.4% is still below the 3.0–3.4% range experienced from 1995–2001. This is the first increase in profits in the last three years; at this rate the industry earned approximately $2.1 billion in total profits in 2010.
Sales and Technical Skills Limit Cross-Media Growth
Of the 280 print service provider respondents to InfoTrends' Leveraging Acquisitions to Accelerate the Pace of Cross-media Adoption survey, 119 were not currently offering cross-media services. When asked to identify the critical barriers that are hampering participation, the most common obstacles included limited sales skills and limited technical skills. Rather than building these skills internally, firms are aggressively buying expertise to strengthen their offerings and/or add services. Larger firms have begun to purchase smaller organizations that already have made the transition. These deals offer benefits to both companies. The acquiring firm buys the best practices, expertise, and a book of business, while the acquired firm has access to a larger resource pool. This trend will help accelerate the pace of participation in the cross-media space.
Consumer Bill Exempts Printing
The recently enacted Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) excludes children's books and paper-based printed materials from third-party testing and certification requirements now in place for any and all products marketed to children under 12 years of age. "This is a big win for the industry!" Lisbeth Lyons, vice president of Government Affairs at Printing Industries of America said. "Even for printers who do not specialize in children's books or printed materials geared toward children, this is still a significant industry accomplishment," said Lyons. "Achieving an exclusion for books and paper-based printed materials from environmental and consumer regulation goes a long way to remind lawmakers that the printing and graphic communications industry's products are sustainable, safe, and leading edge when it comes to environmentally sound manufacturing."

BARRE — A Springfield man with a long criminal record has been charged with trying to pick up drugs prescribed to his dead father.
Matthew A. Pape, 38, pleaded not guilty to felony prescription fraud Thursday in Washington County criminal court in Barre. If convicted, he faces a maximum of two years in prison and a $5,000 fine.
According to the police affidavit, Pape went to the Medicine Shoppe in Barre and tried to pick up a bottle of the sedative clonazepam for his father, Phil Pape. A pharmacist told police Matthew Pape came into the pharmacy and said he had two prescriptions he was to pick up. After being told there were no prescriptions there for him, Pape placed the order for clonazepam, according to the affidavit. The pharmacist told police Pape asked how much the drug would cost and whether he could charge the drug instead of paying cash.
According to the affidavit, after Pape placed the order using a valid prescription refill, one of the pharmacists told the other pharmacist he thought Phil Pape was dead. The pharmacist told police she confirmed from online obituaries and the Vermont Medicaid portal that Phil Pape had died in October.
The pharmacist called police. The responding officer asked to see the prescription bottle the pharmacist had filled and she told him the police could keep the bottle because she had filled it with vitamin B, not the drug.
While in custody, police said, Pape did not understand why he was under arrest, as he was simply trying to get a list of all the medications his father had been taking in order to figure out "what had killed him," police said.
Matthew Pape has 39 previous convictions, including felony prescription fraud in 2001, felony cocaine sale in 2009, driving under the influence for the third time, a felony, in 2003, and felony burglary in 1991.MORE IN This Just InWAITSFIELD An armed robber held up the Northfield Savings Bank on Tuesday afternoon, the second...

I just want a good sauce that tastes like a commercial offering. I always find my sauces taste too... homemade I guess. Any tips on how to get a better quality sauce? I generally use Great Value crushed tomatoes from Walmart with a bit of light olive oil, oregano, basil, garlic, black pepper.
The really funny thing is that I didn't have dry milk on me at the time and used some whey protein. They taste very similar and the end product didn't suffer at all.

If T-Bone Walker was still alive, he'd be playin' the blues like Roy Gaines. Gaines has taken his time with Walker, woodshed his guitar between Texas and Los Angeles, and is now turning heads wherever he plays. Huge Texas horns, soulful vocals and aggressive guitar playing are indications that Gaines learned his lessons well. Roy was the surprise find at blues festivals in 1999; in 2000 'New Frontier Lover' will also be the discovery and top blues fans' "best of" lists. - Art Tipaldi, Blues Revue
Roy Gaines proves he's still riding high with the release of the long-awaited New Frontier Lover on Severn Records.
New Frontier Lover showcases Gaines' versatility as guitarist, singer and songwriter and treats listeners to a variety of searing originals penned by Roy over the past few decades. "Throughout the album I tried to tie together all styles of blues from the beginning of the 20th century to today," says Roy. From the opening notes of the title track there's no doubt this Texas bluesman has done just that. The number pulses along with a funk-driven bass line punctuated by the one-two punch of the horns that drive Roy's forceful vocals and biting guitar licks. Juxtapose that with "You Can't Make Nobody Love You," a song reminiscent of Gaines' long time mentor T-Bone Walker. And there's Roy's poignant interpretation of "The World's Biggest Fool" a song he co-wrote with former manager Audry Williams, wife of the late Hank Williams, Sr. Here you find Roy lamenting about a lost love and his impending demise: "Above this river here I stand, with your picture in my hand, no more cheatin' love can I stand, for the world's 'bout to lose it's biggest fool." The lone instrumental on the disc, "Roy's Theme," is a blues shuffle that clips along at a fevered pace showcasing Roy's prowess on the fretboard.
Gaines rounded up Severn's all-star team of Steve Gomes (bass), Robb Stupka (drums) and Benjie Porecki (keys) for New Frontier Lover. In addition, Severn's harmonica ace Steve Guyger is featured on a couple of numbers including "My Woman, My Blacksnake and Me" and the closing track "Roll Your Own Biscuit" where Roy trades licks with Guyger and guest keyboardist David Maxwell.
Raised in Houston, Texas, Gaines displayed the ability for music early on. His mother encouraged music in the house and purchased a piano when Roy was a child. "I played piano from ages six until about fourteen," recalls Roy. "I switched to guitar after I saw how my brother Grady, who plays saxophone, would get all the girls by walking around the club while playing. I said 'Boy, I want some of those girls!' and made the switch to guitar."
After a failed marriage at the age of 16, Gaines headed to California where he found himself thrust into the world of late night bars and touring with Roy "Pops" Milton. But this was just the beginning for Roy. His dossier reads like a who's who of blues and jazz performers. He toured and recorded with blues greats like Chuck Willis ("C.C. Rider") and Ray Charles and did session work for the likes of Bobby "Blue" Bland and Junior Parker among many others. And Roy's no stranger to the Hollywood scene either lending his talents to the motion pictures "How Many Roads" and "The Color Purple" which led to several television commercials including spots for AT&T and Coors Brewing Company.
All of this good fortune allowed Roy to open Gainesville, a nightclub, restaurant and recording studio that lasted for 11 years. "I had a good thing going, but couldn't keep it running," he remembers. In 1996, completely broke at age 60, Gaines released the last recording he made at Gainesville, Lucille Work for Me. That release combined with Bluesman for Life (1998) gave Roy the long overdue recognition he deserved. He spent most of 1999 touring the festival circuit only to find himself back in the studio after Severn Records approached him with a recording deal.
In addition to two awards in 1999 (a Handy for "Most Deserving of Wider Recognition" and Living Blues "Comeback Artist of the Year") Roy has received two 2001 W. C. Handy Awards nominations as "Contemporary Blues-Male Artist of the Year" and "Blues Instrumentalist-Guitar". Proof positive that Roy Gaines is one to be reckoned with as he carves out a New Frontier for blues lovers around the globe.
Thanks to God Almighty, who has the power to make these songs fly high like an eagle over the blues world and into the hearts of true blues lovers everywhere.
Thanks to all the fine musicians who played on this CD. What a time, blues cats! Special thanks to Benjie Porecki, for arranging the rhythm tracks and playing the piano and organ to the max; Steve Gomes, for coming up with those great bass lines and making this CD groove; to Robb Stupka, for traveling all the way from Minneapolis to Millersville, MD, to set this music in the pocket once and for all; and to the special guests, Big Joe Maher, Steve Guyger, and David Maxwell.
Thanks to Eric, the engineer, a great all-around technician, who had the personality and ability to focus on my lyrics and the music during this project.
Thanks to David Earl for having the foresight to record this CD in the first place and to rerecord it a second time. All the preparation, hard work, and expense has proven to be worth it. You have helped me make the best recording in my career. So I call this Double Dealing, with a double thanks to you David.
Thanks to Carolyn Washington, my daughter, for turning this record deal and for writing the credits for the project. Thanks to Frances Middleton for her support throughout this project and for typing the lyrics.
Special thanks to Gatemouth Brown and his manager Jim Bateman for their help and support in my career.
Thanks to Randy Santos for the photography. The pictures by the truck brought tears to my eyes because it reminded me of when I first learned to drive my dad's truck at the age of 12. Also thanks for using your beautiful home as a location for the shot on the CD cover.
My special thanks to Mrs. Audry Williams, the wife of Hank Williams, Sr., who is deceased, for giving me a batch of songs during the time that she was my personal manager. One of the songs was "The World's Biggest Fool." After rewriting it in a blues format, I decided to record the song. Mrs. Williams used to tell me that she picked a lot of songs for Hank Sr. to record, including "Lovesick Blues." Therefore, my unseen faith tells me that since she chose "World's Biggest Fool" for me, it's going to be the World's Greatest Hit for Severn Records. I still love and thank her for recording and producing me in Nashville, Tennessee.
My special thanks to Rose Marie McCoy for writing over 100 songs with me through the years. Now having this chance to record one of our songs, "What's the Reason," makes me very happy. The song shows the great lyrics and music that we've created together for more than 40 years. Again, I extend my warmest appreciation for your being a part of this project, Rose.
My warmest thanks to Mr. Rick Masten, who gave me two songs when I was in Monterey Peninsula College in 1963. We met and collaborated in writing folk songs. I always liked the story of Pioneer, which I rewrote and now call "New Frontier Lover" more than 20 years later. We have a chance to see the power of our words and music work magic again with "Hind Ends and Elbows." At that time we never dreamed it would take this long. I thank you, and I enjoy sharing this stage of my life with you once again.

WASHINGTON, D.C. Letters and diaries saved for 150 years from those who lived through the Civil War offer a new glimpse at the arguments that split the nation then and some of the festering debates that survive today.
The Library of Congress, which holds the largest collection of Civil War documents, pulled 200 items from its holdings to reveal both private and public thoughts from dozens of famous and ordinary citizens who lived in the North and the South. Many are being shown for the first time.
Robert E. Lee, for one, was grappling with divided federal and state allegiances. He believed his greater allegiance was to his native Virginia, as he wrote to a friend about resigning his U.S. Army commission.
Sympathizing with you in the troubles that are pressing so heavily upon our beloved country & entirely agreeing with you in your notions of allegiance, I have been unable to make up my mind to raise my hand against my native state, my relatives, my children & my home, he wrote in 1861. I have therefore resigned my commission in the Army.
Lees handwritten letter is among dozens of writings from individuals who experienced the war. They are featured in the new exhibit The Civil War in America at the library in Washington until June 2013. Their voices also are being heard again in a new blog created for the exhibition.
For a limited time in 2013, the extensive display will feature the original draft of President Abraham Lincolns preliminary Emancipation Proclamation and rarely shown copies of the Gettysburg Address.
Beyond the generals and famous battles, though, curators set out to tell a broader story about what Lincoln called a peoples contest.
This is a war that trickled down into almost every home, said Civil War manuscript specialist Michelle Krowl. Even people who may seem very far removed from the war are going to be impacted on some level. So its a very human story.
Curators laid out a chronological journey from before the first shots were fired to the deep scars soldiers brought home in the end.
While some still debate the root causes of the war, for Benjamin Tucker Tanner in 1860, the cause was clear, as he wrote from South Carolina in his diary.
The country seems to be bordering on a civil war all on account of slavery, wrote the future minister. I pray God to rule and overrule all to his own glory and the good of man.
A personal letter from Mary Todd Lincoln in 1862 was recently acquired by the library and is being publicly displayed for the first time.
In the handwritten note on stationery with a black border, Mary Lincoln reveals her deep grief over the death of her son Willie months earlier. Krowl said Mary Lincolns grief is also evident in the new movie, Lincoln.
When you read this letter ... you just get a palpable feeling of how in the depth that shes been and shes now finally coming out of her grief, at least to resume public affairs, Krowl said.
All the documents in the exhibit are original. They include a massive map Gen. Stonewall Jackson commissioned of Virginias Shenandoah Valley to prepare for a major campaign.
The library also is displaying personal items from Lincoln, including the contents of his pockets on the night he was assassinated, and the pocket diary of Clara Barton who would constantly record details about soldiers she met and would later create the Bureau of Missing Soldiers.
Some of the closing words come from soldiers who lost their right arms or hands in battle and had to learn to write left-handed. They joined a left-handed penmanship contest and shared their stories.
I think this exhibition will have a lot of resonance for people, said exhibit director Cheryl Regan. Certainly soldiers returning home from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are going to be incredibly moved by these stories.

Preseason Recap Knicks 98 Celtics 95
This wasn't your mamma's Knicks-Celtics preseason game, that's for sure! Overtime, up-and-down pace to the game, and a down-to-the-wire 98-95 finish were all on display during this Knicks victory in Hartford, Connecticut. Also, appearances by Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Jason Kidd, Kurt Thomas, as well as others — so yes, maybe this was your mamma's Knicks-Celtics preseason game. Or, at this point, your grandmamma's. You may have been away and missed this sure-fire Knicks classic, (perhaps you were watching the Nets? Ahahahaha.) and in doing so missed out on the Pablo Prigioni-Chris Copeland pick-and-roll you will be telling your kids about. Some notes to catch you up:
- Firstly, the Knicks were without Amar'e Stoudemire, Iman Shumpert, JR Smith, and Ronnie Brewer for tonight's game. If those guys were healthy, can you imagine how much the Knicks would have won by? At least 4000 points.
- The Knicks jumped out to an eight point lead midway through the first, and then proceeded to end the quarter down one. The Knicks, it turns out, are still allergic to momentum.
- There was a nice play where Melo air-balled a long two-pointer off of a catch-and-shoot opportunity and the ball dropped right into James White's hands and he made a lay-up. That, some decent defense on a variety of different players, and seven rebounds was basically the game for White, who was starting in place of JR Smith.
- The Knicks were down 8 at the half, after the various bench units Mike Woodson put out didn't have much success. (My favorite one being Felton-Prigioni-Shurna-Novak-Sims. That group's Points Per 100 Possessions is off the charts!)
- The Knicks started the third quarter horribly, and quickly fell behind by more. Melo began getting frustrated as he wasn't getting calls (Hey! What's new?) and the rest of the team decided to collectively stop running back on defense. A couple of minutes before they left, the first-stringers put together some quality possessions and quality shots. After that, the Knicks went to lineups consisting of Prigioni, Kidd, Novak, Copeland, White, and Thompson, with Woodson (and I can only assume) throwing darts to decide who went out on the floor.
- Down 3 heading into the 4th, the Knicks hung around, in large part due to ¡PABLOCURA! and all the steals ¡PABLOCURA! got by being ¡PABLOCURA! (I really love writing ¡PABLOCURA!.) From what I can remember he picked someone's pocket clean, then stole an inbounds pass after a score and threw it overhead towards Novak standing at half-court. Or, you know, ¡PABLOCURA! things.
- As if that wasn't enough, he and Chris Copeland ran a Stockton/Malone-esque pick-and-roll. Twas' filthy my friends. The Celtics 3rd stringers had no way of stopping it, and if you can beat the Celtics 3rd stringers, you make it anywhere. This pick-and-roll let New York tie, and eventually win the game. ¡PABLOCURA! would just drop these calm, calculated bounce passes that Copeland would pick up and go hard to the paint with. You should have seen it. Shit was cray. Also, Copeland scored all 21 of his points in the second half, and basically guaranteed him a roster spot. Now onto the fun stuff.
- The Knicks slogan for this game, it being something along the lines of "This rivalry is so intense it had to be on a neutral field" is equally as bad as the "YOU. US. WE. NOW." abomination they had from last year.
- Speaking of ¡PABLOCURA!, MSG interviewed him and showed the clip before the game. May I just say that Pablo has a perfect accent. It's the best accent on the team, with whatever style of English Jason Kidd attempts to speak being a distant second.
- Tyson Chandler had himself a nice game! He caught some *very* nice alley-oops today, including one from halfcourt thrown by Felton. The Knicks now have three point guards, all very capable of running the pick-and-roll, to mess around with Stoudemire, Chandler, and occasionally Melo as roll-men.
- This game was very chippy. Spero Dedes and Clyde Frazier kept saying how this game wasn't the atmosphere of a preseason game, and I would agree. The style of play was a lot more physical, and the crowd was very much in the game. With the game being played in Hartford, Connecticut, the fans seemed pretty evenly divided for either team. During free throws, half of the crowd would try to distract the shooter, with the other then cheering for him after he made the shot. It was certainly an interesting dynamic.
- Clyde said some thing! First, he said that the signing of Jason Terry would mitigate the departure of Ray Allen, except he pronounced "mitigate" like "mini-gate." Then, Clyde talked about how he didn't like the Celtics. He cited that he didn't like rooting for a team that always won. No worries, Clyde. You won't have to deal with perennial winners as long as you stay with the Knicks. Also, he compared Woodson's coaching style to Red Holtzman's. All these things happened and I'm happy they did.
- A lot of the Celtics, especially Jared Sullinger tried to post up Steve Novak, and Novak was having none of that, because Steve Novak doesn't get posted-up. Y'all heard?
- Tyson Chandler shot a jumper. I cringed.
- Glenn Grunwald and Allan Houston were at the game. Glenn, as shown in this screenshot taken by super-cool fella Seth Rosenthal, was rocking a leather jacket, like all the other cool kids in his class.
- Jason Kidd pretty clearly got outplayed by Prigioni. Kidd was 1-6 from three-point land (with the Knicks being a collective 3-29) and didn't run the pick-and-roll as effectively as Prigioni. Once again, he played mostly off the ball as he was on the court with Felton or Prigioni most of the game.
- Also, Steve Novak (38) and Jason Kidd (34) led all players in minutes. That's a thing that happened this year.
- I was incredibly scared Doc Rivers would put in Paul Pierce just to hit a dagger against the Knicks, for old times sake.
- Poetically, the game ended with a Copeland block.
- As with all preseason games, take almost everything you see with a grain of salt. Sadly, being as this are the Knicks, the backup point guard situation will be scrutinized relentlessly until the Knicks next preseason game, in which Kidd could outplay ¡PABLOCURA! and explode the heads of every Knicks fan. More importantly however, the Knicks will *hopefully* be getting Amar'e back for the next couple preseason games so he can work on chemistry n' stuff.
That's it for now. The Knicks play Landry Fields, Landry Fields' girlfriend and the Raptors on Friday, as they try to stay undefeated this preseason. And as we all know in the cut throat pirate game that is basketball, it's undefeated preseason or bust.

text: I am an ALSA user, and while I don't see anything wrong with it, I see what this project is trying to address - putting hardware management back into the kernel. The same thing happened with video (KMS), and people were initially complaining, but now everyone is happier. Furthermore, if it is going to be transparent to OSS-supporting apps, it will be a drop-in replacement. I mean, ALSA supports OSS-compatible apps, Pulse supports ALSA and OSS... This is more of a "reworking the plumbing" than "reworking the dashboard".

Cleveland Clinic wins raves as an innovator
Blog Entry:
December 27, 2012 10:59 AM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
Even institutions at the very top of their field have room to innovate significantly.
Case in point: The
Cleveland Clinic
, which "is gaining new renown for innovation in improving the quality of care while holding down costs," according to
this editorial
The New York Times
"In its most fundamental reform, the Clinic in the past five years has created 18 "institutes" that use multidisciplinary teams to treat diseases or problems involving a particular organ system, say the heart or the brain, instead of having patients bounce from one specialist to another on their own," the newspaper writes.
On a recent visit to the Clinic,
The Times
says, its staff observed a team of a neurosurgeon, a neurologist, a neuroradiologist, a neurologist with advanced training in intensive care, a physical and rehabilitation doctor, a medical resident, a physical therapist and a nurse.
"As they made rounds from patient to patient, they had a portable computer that displayed electronic medical records so that the whole team could see how the patient was doing and plan the course of care for the day," according to
The Times
. "This team approach can improve the quality of care because all the experts are involved in deciding the best treatment option, which can save time and money."
As others have pointed out, the Clinic " has strong leverage to drive such reforms because its staff physicians are salaried and are granted only one-year contracts and subjected to annual performance reviews."
The Times
says the Clinic also sets the pace in data analysis to evaluate how well treatments work.
"For instance, the Clinic analyzed outcomes for heart surgery patients and found that those who had received blood transfusions during surgery had higher complication rates afterward and a lower long-term survival rate," according to the editorial. "As a result, it has adopted strict guidelines that limit the use of transfusions."
The Clinic's progress in restructuring itself, says
Michael Porter
, a Harvard professor who analyzes health care delivery and organizational change, is "light speed" compared with other institutions. He tells
The Times
that the Clinic is "a model of where we need to go. Not perfect, not done, but far along."
This and that
It's only fair, after linking yesterday to a CNNMoney.com list that named Cleveland-based
Cliffs Natural Resources Inc.
as one of the worst-performing
500 stocks of 2012, to follow up with a link to
this Barrons.com post
that notes the mining company is having a nice end to a tough year.
Cliffs led the Standard & Poor's 500 index on Wednesday, and the price has risen 18% in December, according to Barrons.com. (Even with the late-year bounce, though, Cliffs is still off 42% this year.)
One reason for Cliffs' decline is concern about China's economy, Barrons.com notes, but "the good news is that China's slowdown won't last forever. When it awakens, so will the sector."
And the website points out that Cliffs pays dividends exceeding 5%. "That means you'll be paid while you wait for the rebound," according to the post.
, with its new Windows 8 operating system and Surface tablet to sell, opened 51 retail stores in 2012, and its
next batch
of six stores will include one at
Beachwood Place
in Beachwood.
Jonathan Adashek, Microsoft's general manager of communications and strategy, announced on the company's official blog that the first new stores in 2013 will be in malls in Beachwood, Miami, Salt Lake City, San Antonio, San Francisco and St. Louis. (Microsoft currently has just a kiosk in the Beachwood mall.)
"We look forward to opening the doors of these stores, and many others, where our direct connection with customers will be built one interaction and one relationship at a time," Mr. Adashek wrote.
No details yet on store opening dates.
Forbes.com generally takes a dim view of Cleveland in its various lists — jobs here are scarce, all our houses are in foreclosure, the air is filthy, etc. — so
here's your chance
to take a dim view of Forbes.com.
Eagle-eyed reader Ken Prendergast, executive director of
All Aboard Ohio
, an advocacy group for rail travel in the state, points out that the website's data page includes the following description of our city:
Cleveland is home to several industries, including household cooking equipment, textiles, furniture, pharmaceuticals, chemicals and automotive parts. Cleveland State Community College and Lee University are also based in Cleveland. Cleveland is the location for the corporate headquarters of Life Care Centers of America, the largest privately held nursing facility company in the U.S. Its location provides numerous tourist attractions including whitewater rafting, mountain climbing and shopping within the urban parts of town.
That doesn't sound like the Cleveland you know, does it? Well, it would if the Cleveland you knew was Cleveland,
, which is indeed home to Cleveland State Community College, Lee University, Life Care Centers of America and other institutions.
Sounds like a fun place. It's just not our place.

text: Liza T won 2 senior GP's (beating Kostner in the process) and the YOG's (indeed, she won her first 3 senior competitions), whilst Julia L won the world junior championships and the JGPF by a mile. That in my mind is very impressive. Only Adelina Sotnikova was disappointing, but I think she will come back strongly next season once she has overcome her growth spurt. She had a disappointing season, the season before last, after a growth spurt, but then fought back last season to win the junior GPF and the junior world championships. That tells me that she is a fighter who has the ability to come back from a bad season.

How to Winterize Your House on the Cheap
written by

BillCutterz Money Saving Blog
Even though winter isn�t quite upon us, it�s time to start getting your home ready for the cold temperatures. Here are 6 ways to winterize your house on the cheap to get ready for this winter.
The Space Heater
If you�re serious about saving money, a space heater is going to be your new best friend. You can pick up small heaters for under $20 or spend a little more for a larger one that heats more space.
Insulate Windows & Doors
You lose a lot of heat through poorly insulated windows so it�s time to wrap them up. Pick up an insulator kit from Amazon for less than $20 or head down to your local hardware store to pick up supplies.
Make sure to check your doors for drafts and seal any leaks you can find. If you have an attic or basement, be sure to check for drafts, too.
Winter Coat for your Windows
Investing in thick drapes or thermal curtains will help keep your heat inside and the cold outside. If you�re strapped for cash, use thick blankets.
Thermal curtains will also help you save money on cooling costs during the summer.
Check Your Heating System
Before it gets too cold, check your heating system and make sure it�s in proper working order. Do a test run if you haven�t turned it on since last year. Change any filters and clear any vents.
If you need to do seasonal maintenance, now is the time. You don�t want to be the person calling the repair store in the middle of a blizzard.
Get Your Air Conditioner Ready for Hibernation
Clean your air conditioner and remove any dust or debris. If your area gets especially cold and/or rainy, look into a cover to help extend the life of your a/c unit.
If you have a window unit, it�s a good idea to remove and store it for winter. Closing that window will also help keep warm air
Outside Preparation
Check your roof for any loose or broken shingles and make repairs now before it gets too cold. Make sure to clean your gutters once the leaves stop falling to avoid damage from clogs later.
Cover any necessary pipes for sprinkler systems or outdoor faucets. Cover any patio furniture or move it into storage.
If you won�t be running the lawn mower until spring, properly store or dispose of any gasoline.

I like the comforter design and the throw pillows are well made. My biggest concern was that it would be made out that slippery material (but it's not!). The comforter backing is a plain brown to match the trim. The sheets fit my queen - they do feel a little strange. I'm not sure if they are just a different thread count than I'm used to or if I previously had cotton-poly blend and these are pure cotton? THe sheets are a solid cream color and the top sheet and pillow cases have a line of brown trim. I've washed the sheets about 4 times and had no problems.
Nice set but not the colour that I was expecting and the pillows were not as full as I would of expected them to be.....the price is good and the quailty of the comforter is nice.
The color was a little different than I was expecting, but still very nice-looking. The comforter is good quality, especially for the price. It's a lighter weight comforter so I don't know how warm it will be in the winter. The throw pillows weren't as filled as I would have liked and were a little misshapen from being tightly packaged. But overall, it's a good product that I would putchase again.
The quality of this product is great the color was a little diff erent than whst I thought it was on the picture. It is brown and a greenish but matches a variety of wall colors. Shipping was very fast@!!!
Excellent product. Delivered in a timely fashion.Bought as a gift for my daughter and she was very pleased!
The design of this bedding set is a perfect compliment to the furniture in my bedroom. I'd been looking for something for a very long time, and finally found it in this set! The only trouble I'm having is that I still haven't taken the time to go out and buy a square pillow for the square sham that's included in the set.
Overall I was not impressed with this set. The comforter and pillows are very shiny polyester, and do not appear to be very well constructed. The sheets are nice.
This is a nice comforter set. A couple of the reviews said it was more green that in the picture so I took a chance ordering it. I should have believed the picture. Bottom line--the color did not fit ther rest of the decor. Otherwise ti is a good buy.
I just moved into my new custom built home and this just adds to the delite. If you're looking to give your bedroom that elegant this is certainly the comforter set for you.
Love the set, color was some what different then picture. Over was very happy with product. I'm looking forward to doing more business with overstock.com

European Union panel to pressure Google on privacy rulesBy KEVIN J. OBRIEN
THE New York Times | December 09,2012European data protection officials are drafting plans to censure Google over its online privacy policy if the company does not meet regulators demands to revise it.
In a two-day closed-door meeting this week in Brussels of the European Unions 27 national data protection officials, the group mapped a preliminary strategy, including the possibility of testing Googles compliance with national privacy laws in countries like Ireland, Belgium and Finland, where the company operates data centers. That was the word from a person close to the discussions, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The group may issue a public statement next week on the matter.
The group is focusing on new guidelines that Google adopted this year for collecting information on individuals. Under the new policy, when people are logged into a Google account, the company can use information shared on one service in other Google services. For example, Google could show people an ad on YouTube based on what they have searched for, or fix the spelling of a friends name in a Google search based on information from Gmail.
When the guidelines were announced, they were sharply criticized in Europe. Data protection officials from various countries asked the French regulator, CNIL, to study them. In mid-October, that regulator released a report criticizing the guidelines as allowing an uncontrolled combination of data.
The 27 European regulators wrote a letter to Larry Page, the chief executive of Google, asking the company to modify the new policy, which governs dozens of Google services among them the search engine, Android mobile phone apps and YouTube videos. The regulators want Google to give users a better sense of what personal data is being collected and to allow them to better control how that information is shared with advertisers.
CNIL said the method of combining information from Googles search engine, YouTube, Google+ social network and other services suggests the absence of any limit concerning the scope of collection and the potential uses of the personal data.
Google made nearly all of its $37.9 billion in sales revenue in 2011 from Internet advertising, which relies in part on the collection and analysis of user data to produce ads aimed at individual consumers.
When CNIL released its report, Google said it would study the analysis. But the company also asserted that its method of handling consumer data was legal under European Union rules. At a conference in Arizona in October, Page defended the guidelines.
So far the company, which also ran afoul of European regulators in 2010 for its collection of personal data from home Wi-Fi routers in the Street View controversy, has not responded formally to the report by the French regulator.
On Friday, a Google spokesman in Brussels, Alistair Verney, referred to the companys previous statement in October, which said that Google was reviewing the French recommendations.
Our new privacy policy demonstrates our longstanding commitment to protecting our users information and creating great products, the Google statement said at the time. We are confident that our privacy notices respect European law.
When CNIL presented its analysis in October, the chairwoman of the French regulator, Isabelle Falque-Pierrotin, gave the search engine three to four months roughly until mid-February to respond to its recommendations.
Among other things, CNIL asked Google to heed European restrictions on mixing certain data and to heed Europes rules for obtaining prior consent from consumers before collecting personal data.
Google users in Europe cannot use the search engines services unless they agree to accept the companys privacy policy.
But CNIL argued in its review that the opt-in disclaimer, which is legal under United States law, was too broad. It also said consumers should be given clearer information and be allowed to individually authorize or reject the collection of certain kinds of data.
While European lawmakers coordinate European Union data protection from Brussels, privacy law is enforced on the national level.
That decentralization is the reason why regulators are considering taking action within a few nations most likely in countries where Google has physical operations and where national courts could be asked to enforce penalties.
But whether any actions, if they do eventually take place, result in anything other minor sanctions remains to be seen. In general, European national regulators are limited to privacy violation fines of only a few hundred thousand euros against companies or individuals.
A proposed update to European Union data protection law would give regulators the ability to assess much larger fines of as much as 2 percent of a companys annual sales which based on Googles financial performance would equate to about $760 million, based on 2011 revenue of $37.9 billion.
But it is unclear how soon, if ever, those higher penalties will be adopted.
Another person with knowledge of the regulators discussion this week emphasized that the group was still hoping Google would adapt its rules in Europe to conform with the Continents restrictions on data mining.
We still have a lot of time left before we come to this juncture, said another person with knowledge of the groups discussions, citing the spring deadline for Googles formal response.

About your stay
A vibrant world of bold color lies beyond the understated Georgian entrance of the Haymarket Hotel. Located directly next door to the Haymarket Theatre, Kit Kemp's redesign of John Nash's Regent-era structure asserts a theatrical vision rooted in her signature 'modern English' design. Art lovers will appreciate the verve with which the airy sepia-gray lobby, filled with marigold and oak furniture, showcases a large stainless steel Tony Cragg sculpture and paintings by British treasure John Virtue. Take the elevator from here to reach a sublime swimming pool in the hotel's basement, all sixty feet of which are hypnotically illuminated by a light installation by the artist Martin Richmann.
A London Landmark
A bold step away from cookie-cutter minimalism, Haymarket Hotel fuses contemporary and classical references in an ultra-central London location. A landmark building designed by the legendary John Nash, the master architect who developed most of Regency London, including Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square and the adjoining Haymarket Theatre, the building comprises 50 bedrooms and suites plus one exclusive townhouse property. The Haymarket's façade features a dramatic row of columns that run the length of Suffolk Place.
Sensual and Optical Delights
Physical and visual pleasures merge in guestrooms overflowing with inviting pillows, luscious textures, cloth-covered walls, and custom-made furniture such as Shagreen coffee tables with ivory wood-toned details. Modern English with a classic pedigree: Haymarket Hotel is timeless.
Kit Kemp
Together with her partner Tim Kemp, award-winning designer Kit Kemp stands at the helm of nine hotels, including the Crosby Street Hotel in Manhattan and the Dorset Square Hotel. This quirky design guru's aesthetic reflects a fresh, modern take on English style. Mixing eras with state-of-the-art technology, the self-taught designer follows no rules but her own, creating a signature style that strikes the perfect balance between classicism and modernity. Kemp's pioneering work earned her the Andrew Martin International Interior Designer of the Year in 2008, and her hotel group Firmdale Hotels received the Queens Award for Enterprise in 2000, 2006 and in 2009.

Bump... anyone?
Does anyone have a Sandy Bridge CPU on which they are reliably using vaapi for hardware-based video decoding? If so, I'd be interested in hearing all the details of your setup (hardware, distro, versions of all relevant packages, etc). I've got an i3-2100 in a MythTV-based media PC. I've been waiting since the SNB launch for Intel X.org drivers to "just work" in Linux, but alas, nearly two years have passed, and this still isn't the case.
Basically, when I try to use vaapi (i.e. hardware-based video decoding) things work for some random amount of time. Then eventually X totally locks up. I get this in /var/log/message:
If I try to see the i915_error_state file, it fails:Code:Mar 28 16:57:09 mythtv kernel: [drm:i915_hangcheck_hung] *ERROR* Hangcheck timer elapsed... GPU hung Mar 28 16:57:09 mythtv kernel: [drm] capturing error event; look for more information in /debug/dri/0/i915_error_state
Here is a report of someone having what appears to be a nearly identical problem, but that bug looks to be abandoned... No activity since September, 2012.Code:[root@mythtv ~]# cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_error_state cat: /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_error_state: Cannot allocate memory
I'm using version 2.21 of the Intel X.org drivers, vaapi 1.0.17, mesa version 9.0, kernel 3.8.4.
Since this is fairly repeatable, can anyone point me to a resource where it has a reasonable chance of getting fixed? I believe some of the Intel staffers working on the drivers hung out on these forums at one point...
If I forgo the vaapi thing, and use use pure software decoding, everything works fine. But it would nice to be able to fully utilize the hardware in Linux.
