Chris Stevens: US envoy to the Arab world
Thursday - 9/13/2012, 3:15am EDT
By BRADLEY KLAPPER
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - At the height of Libya's civil war, Chris Stevens dashed off to the rebel stronghold of Benghazi by cargo boat to help shape an assortment of Libyan politicians and militias into the cohesive unit that would defeat Moammar Gadhafi. A year-and-a-half later, the 52-year-old ambassador died as Islamists attacked a U.S. Consulate in the same city.
Stevens' death deprives the United States of someone widely regarded as one of the most effective American envoys to the Arab world. In his unfailingly polite and friendly manner, Stevens brokered tribal disputes and conducted U.S. outreach efforts in Jerusalem, Cairo, Damascus and Riyadh. As a rising star in U.S. foreign policy, he cheerily returned to Libya four months ago, determined to see a democracy rise where Gadhafi's dictatorship for four decades flourished.
"It's especially tragic that Chris Stevens died in Benghazi because it is a city that he helped to save," President Barack Obama said from the White House Rose Garden on Wednesday. "With characteristic skill, courage and resolve he built partnerships with Libyan revolutionaries and helped them as they planned to build a new Libya."
Stevens was among four Americans who died Tuesday night after the consulate was attacked by gunfire and rocket-propelled grenades.
A native of northern California, he was dispatched to Benghazi in the midst of heavy fighting in April 2011, ferrying to the city on a Greek cargo ship to set up America's central office for coordinating military strategy, financial assistance and political work with the Libyan opposition.
What he encountered was a largely lawless coast, threatened by Gadhafi offensives and short of funds for food, fuel and medicine. Security was a constant concern, he recounted in an August 2011 news conference, but he stressed that Gadhafi's time was running out.
He was right. The war ended shortly after an angry mob killed Gadhafi in late October 2011, but not before Stevens played a critical role in coaxing Libya's disparate rebel and opposition groups into becoming the cohesive military and political force that the world would recognize as Libya's legitimate government. Colleagues and foreign officials recalled an impeccably polite and good-natured diplomat with an uncanny ability for winning friends.
"He was loved by everybody," said Ahmed al-Abbar, a Libyan opposition leader during the revolution.
As Libya's post-war challenges persisted, Stevens jumped at the opportunity earlier this year when Obama asked him to be the next U.S. ambassador in the Libyan capital of Tripoli. A couple of weeks before his departure, he was a guest of The Associated Press at the White House Correspondents' Association annual dinner and spoke of his eagerness to get to work.
"It's a really exciting time for Libya," he said, and stressed that he would stay in touch. Libya's difficult transition to democracy needed to remain in the public consciousness and not simply disappear under the category of missions accomplished, he explained.
Fathi Baja, another former member of Libya's National Transitional Council, said he met with Stevens on Tuesday morning in Tripoli and saw the ambassador working on securing top Libyan officials with invitations to the next U.S. presidential inauguration. He also was trying to send more Libyan students to study in the U.S. and attract American business to the North African country, Baja said, part of an effort to strengthen U.S.-Libyan relations after they veered from badly damaged to nonexistent under Gadhafi.
Obama described Stevens as a "role model to all who worked with him and to the young diplomats who aspire to walk in his footsteps."
"He risked his life to stop a tyrant then gave his life trying to help build a better Libya," Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said at the State Department. "The world needs more Chris Stevenses."
Obama and Clinton gathered with officials in a courtyard of the State Department, expressing their condolences and comforting those who worked closely with Stevens. The president could be seen telling several people he was sorry for their loss.
Stevens is the sixth U.S. ambassador to be killed on duty. The last was Adolph Dubs, in Afghanistan in 1979. While Stevens may have represented the next generation of so-called Arabists _ diplomats steeped in the culture and traditions of the Muslim world _ he was no pinstripe-suited bureaucrat cut of the Foggy Bottom stereotype. He cherished field work, and disarmed colleagues with his adventurousness and humility even as his reputation rose.
"His mother used to say he's got sand in his shoes," said Bob Commanday, 90, Stevens' stepfather of more than three decades.

After Olympus Stylus series, one Minolta and several other properly built but rare outdoors cameras, this digital SLR finally seems to open what should have been a normal trend ages ago. There are really no reasons why all cameras should not be environmentally sealed and not just created for "home & office use".
After all, such devices are meant to live under the open skies as much as their users. Bravo, Pentax! Let's just hope that other manufacturers see the light too.
(By the way, the same should happen to all mobile phones, GPS receivers, tablets, etc.)

DHS sets up efficiency review committee
Tuesday - 2/17/2009, 7:59pm EST
By Jason Miller
Executive Editor
Homeland Security Department secretary Janet Napolitano is asking every office to figure out how to be more efficient and and promote greater accountability, transparency and customer satisfaction.
In a new agencywide directive issued Feb. 17, Napolitano says she created a new Efficiency Review Initiative Steering Committee, composed of key office and component leadership, to oversee this effort.
The committee will meet for the first time by Feb. 28. It will identify and develop strategies to reduce costs, streamline processes, eliminate duplication and improve transparency and customer service, she says in a release.
When she was Governor of Arizona, DHS says Napolitano oversaw a similar initiative resulting in more than $1 billion in savings and cost avoidances for the state government focused on procurement, energy conservation, travel, fleet management, training and electronic communications.
This is yet another directive Napolitano issued in the month since she was confirmed as DHS secretary.
She also is asked for information on cybersecurity, border security and several other DHS mission areas. Many of the reports were due today.

I was not crazy about this recipe at all. I am 100% Italian and I have never eaten Ragu with this kind of recipe. If you really want to make it I suggest finding a more authentic Ragu recipe
Its a great dish for a party or anything and enjoyable to the family

This recipe as is gave me some issues as is. However, with a few adjustments we still ended up with a pretty good meal. I immediately added some chopped bacon to the meat because I wanted it to be a little more authentic and we don't care for canned peas so I also decided to omit them right off the bat. When I got the meat cooked and everything combined in the pan to simmer it was much too dry. I ended up adding a can of tomato paste, an extra can of diced tomatoes, and a can of tomato sauce. With these changes it turned out great. Will make again.

Ever wish you could have heard Jack Kerouac or Hunter S. Thompson read live from the novels that made them famous and their readers yearn for a wild life on the road? Yeah, us too. Although Jack and Hunter are gone, you can head down to Coral Gables this evening to hear Cuban-born author Antonio Orlando Rodriguez read from his Spanish-language novel Aprendices de Brujo, which sounds a lot like the bastard stepchild of On The Road and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Set in the 1920s, Rodriguezs novel tells the story of two boys from Bogotá who meet strange strangers and have adventures as they travel to Havana in search of a famous Italian stage actor whos making a comeback. The free reading takes place in Spanish and is part of the Readers Club, which puts authors center stage courtesy of the Florida Center for the Literary Arts at Miami Dade College and local partners. Rodriguez cracks the spine on his weird, strange trip at 7:30 p.m. at Books & Books, 265 Aragon Ave., Coral Gables. Call 305-442-4408, or visit www.booksandbooks.com.

Bombing North Korea's sacred statues would be gratifying but foolish
- By John HudsonJohn Hudson is a senior reporter at Foreign Policy covering diplomacy and national security.
- john.hudson
- @john_hudson
Today, North Korea scolded the South for its reported plan to destroy two giant bronze statues in Pyongyang if the North issues any further provocations. Experts on the conflict, speaking with Foreign Policy today, tend to agree with the North: This would be a really bad idea.
The South Korean plan first surfaced yesterday in the Korean newspaper Chosun Ilbo, which cited government sources saying a surgical strike on statues of patriarchs Kim Jong il and Kim il Sung would convey an important message to the North Koreans:
The statues are considered sacred in the North, and any damage to them could deliver a huge psychological impact. "If North Korea launches another provocation, our military has developed a plan to respond with air-to-surface and surface-to-surface missiles to strike not only the source of provocation as well as support and command forces, but also some statues of Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il," a government source here said Sunday.
The towering bronze statues deifying the late Korean leaders reside atop Mansudae Hill in Pyongyang. While the analysts we spoke to noted that South Korea has patiently endured military bombardments, provocations and insults from the North for years, they raised a number of concerns about the wisdom of the hypothetical strike:
Technically, this would be difficult to pull off
"It doesn't make sense to me," Michael Green, senior vice president for Asia at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, told FP. "The air defenses around Pyongyang are much tougher than around the naval and air installations on the West Sea. I think their general practice in the South will be to hit the regional command HQ responsible for any provocative strike –and the most likely spot for a NK hit would be on the West Sea."
These statues are a non-strategic target. The strike wouldn't be worth it
Wiping out the statues would be gratifying from a nationalistic standpoint, noted Scott Snyder, senior fellow for Korea Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations. "I think this stems from a strong South Korean determination to send a message to North Korea that nuclear weapons acquisition has not given North Korea the capacity to use its nuclear status as an instrument of blackmail toward the South," he told FP. But Snyder emphasized that the statues are "non-strategic targets." Not only would they not weaken North Korea's military, but hitting them wouldn't guarantee a proportional response from the North. " The South Korean response places a premium on the North ensuring that it also has a plan for managing escalation control stemming from any conflict." Of course, no one can say for sure what the North would do.
Are you crazy? This would ignite a Second Korean War.
Jae H. Ku, director of the U.S.-South Korean Institute at Johns Hopkins, said this kind of a strike would almost certainly escalate the conflict beyond anyone's control. "If South Korea were to bomb the statues, this would effectively be the start of the Second Korean War," he said. "Bombing Mansudae Hill would be like the North Koreans bombing the Blue House [the South Korean president's residence]. How can either country stand down from that?"

ONE of the great things about quantum cryptography is that it promises to tip you off if an eavesdropper has intercepted your communications. But there's a catch: messages transmitted this way can only be sent over short distances.
This week, however, researchers at Toshiba's European laboratory in Cambridge, UK, revealed a device that could extend the technique's range indefinitely.
Quantum cryptography systems work by checking the polarisation of a pair of entangled photons to ensure that a key has not been intercepted. If the polarisations do not match, someone is listening in. This has been made to work over short distances: in 2007, researchers succeeded in sending entangled photons over the 144 kilometres between a telescope in La Palma and another in Tenerife in the Canary Islands.
To send a signal over a longer distance, however, some way must be found to amplify it periodically, using a series of "repeaters". ...

Nasty, filthy and disgusting restaurant on St. Andrews Rd, Columbia Sc. My family and I will most likely never eat there again. We were there at 5pm today. There was one young man doing clean up, which was not enough! Poor management is the only explanation. Honestly, he should have locked the door for 15min to clean up. It was that bad! I even slipped in urine in the restroom. Please contact me at email@example.com if you want to talk more about this. It was really quite disgusting.

China economy to rebound in 2013: AFP survey
Published on Jan 13, 2013 4:28 PM
BEIJING (AFP) - China's economy is poised finally to end a long downward trend in 2013, economists polled by AFP say, as the new communist leadership vows to retool the nation's investment-led development model and promote a "happy life" for all.
The world's second-largest economy is not expected to return to double-digit growth, but the economists' predictions are a welcome spot of good news in a financial world assailed by the eurozone debt crisis and lacklustre recovery in the United States.
After seven consecutive quarters of slowing growth, China's gross domestic product (GDP) will rise by 8.0 per cent in 2013, according to the median forecast of 15 economists surveyed by AFP. The poll also projected 7.7 per cent growth for 2012.
The figures would outpace the government's 7.5 per cent growth target for 2012 - but are well below the 9.3 per cent recorded in 2011 and 10.4 per cent in 2010.

I
want to say something else about this man. I got to meet him this
summer and right away garnished a ton of respect for him. Not
because he won the tournament I was at, but because he had taken in a
young man who I love and admire so much. A young man who is
likely one of the best wrestlers in the country who has gone through
some tough times. Most people will never go through the tough
times this young man went through that Gerald took into his house and
started taking care of. Gerald is not only a man to respect on
the mat, he is a man I greatly admire for the work he has done with
this youth who is a great kid. Truth is I don't know how the kid
would have done without the help being offered by Dlareg, but I know
this, that young man has a chance now because of the love and help he
has been given.

When looking for a role model who gives back to
the sport, as well as can kick as$ when need be I can think of no one
better to pat on the back during this Christmas season.

Gerald,
just wanted you to know, I have noticed, and it is worth my time this
Christmas eve to let others know, that you are more than a man on the
mat, or in the cage, you are a man's man in life. Keep it up and
would love to again see you this summer. Blessings to you and
those you touch.

Mike Furches www.furches.org www.thevirtualpew.com It's Showtime!
"

Whoa, I really apreciate your words. Well spoken by a good father - I wish that my father was around for my wrestling like you are with your boy. Dog is pretty big now - he's wrestling at 125 this year, but he will probably go 119 at the end. You remember what happened last year

My
situation with the boys is pretty hard with my salary and two kids of
my own, but I make ends meet with the fighting pay - They are
working hard in the classroom and on the mat. I have big plans
for them this summer with Freestyle/Greco!

Well, again thanks for the kind words! I'll be back on here after the Midlands tournament and here are some more pics.

David Beckham showed up his ab-fab body in Philadelphia, and RadarOnline.com has the sexy shots.
Becks stripped off his shirt after his team, the Los Angeles Galaxy, defeated the Union, 1-0, in Thursday's Major League Soccer match at sold-out PPL Park in Philadelphia.
Becks had special reason to smile – he scored the lone goal to secure the win.
PHOTOS: Hollywood Power Couples
Beckham was introduced to a Phily tradition at the game — every time he touched the ball, he was greeted by boos and the soccer stud loved it.
"Without a doubt, it is the way it should be," Beckham said. "That is the atmosphere in Europe when you go to an away game, and I really enjoyed it."
This was only Beckham's fifth game since he suffered a left Achilles injury on March 14; it was also his first visit to the Philadelphia area.
PHOTOS: Hollywood Hunks Strip Down And Show Off Their 6-Packs
He also enjoyed the previous evening. Beckham attended the Phillies game in two parts. He saw the first few innings, left for a team dinner, and returned for the final few innings to see Roy Halladay finish off his no-hitter.
"To be part of that historical night was really special," Beckham said.

Respond to Review of Arco Iris
by TaylorDovala
Review: I went here after visiting Sagrada Familia and had the absolute best meal of my trip at Arco Iris. The four course vegetarian meal was delicious, creative, and fresh. There was plenty of variety in the choices so everyone could get something they wanted. There was a lot of great quality food for the very reasonable (9 euro) price. Additionally, the manager and waitstaff were friendly and made the experience one I won't forget. Our waitress was very sweet and helped me understand what the different dishes were in spite of my poor spanish. The dessert I ordered was not my favorite but since I was so full from the meal I was happy to leave having only a few bites of it. However, the manager noticed I hadn't finished it and while I was at the front paying, he offered me another dessert without me even mentioning not liking the first dessert. Considering every seat in the restaurant was full and he was not personally serving us I was beyond impressed that he noticed this small detail and went out of his way to make sure I was completely happy with the meal. You can't go wrong going here, I'd eat there every day!

We LOVE vintage lockets. This one is a great size at just over 1" tall.
This romantic little beauty is from the famed S. O. Bigney Company and features intricate details, glittering glass rhinestones and a lustrous 14 karat gold-plated finish.
S. O. Bigney (for Sidney O. Bigney) was founded in Attleboro, Massachusetts, and manufactured high quality jewelry from 1896 to 1946.
This is a beautiful example of the Bigney Company's lasting contribution to the world of vintage jewelry.
As you can see, the locket is a class round shape and boasts incredibly dimensional florals, leaves and textures on the front.
While each five petaled flower is accented with a shimmering Kelly-green rhinestone, each leaf is ornamented with two brilliant, colorless rhinestones.
There is an uninscribed diamond shaped cartouche at the center. The obverse side of the locket remains wonderfully smooth.
When opened, you can see the negative image of the stamped floral design that accents the front of the locket.
There are two unoccupied spaces inside just waiting for your own personal photos.
A small stamped mark on the interior frame of the locket's front reads "SOB & Co".
The piece has been professionally tested to ensure the purity of the gold-plate.
You will notice that the locket shows a bit of expected oxidization which gives the high-relief florals a great sense of depth and dimension.
The locket exhibits some surface scratching while the interior shows a fair amount of darkening and a bit of blackened glue, this darling S. O. Bigney locket remains in good vintage condition overall.
Measurements Locket is 1-5/16" in diameter (1-1/2" tall with loop) and 1/8" deep Weight: 12.7 grams (0.44 oz)

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA — Angelique Kerber held her breath during some nervous moments before fending off American teenager Madison Keys in the third round of the Australian Open, then got to blow out the candles on a cake to celebrate her 25th birthday.
Fifth-seeded Kerber won 6-2, 7-5 today to move into the fourth round, further than she's ever gone in six trips to the Australian Open.
Local organizers brought Kerber a cake onto court immediately after the match and the crowd at Rod Laver Arena sang "Happy Birthday." She blew out the candles and said thank you.
"Madison is a great young player and it was very tough," said Kerber, a semifinalist last year at Wimbledon. "So happy I won today on my birthday!"
The 17-year-old Keys was playing in the main draw for only the second time at the Australia Open.
Fourth-seeded Angieszka Radwanska, meanwhile, won her 12th match in a row with a 6-3, 6-1 victory over Britain's Heather Watson on the second of the show courts at Melbourne Park.
Radwanska won tournaments in Auckland and Sydney before coming to Melbourne.
"I'm extremely happy to be playing my best tennis from the beginning of the year," Radwanska said. "Hopefully I'll play on the same level the rest of the tournament."
After soaring to 41 Celsius (106F) on day four, the temperature dropped into the low 20s (mid-70s) on Friday, and light rain briefly interrupted play on some courts.
Novak Djokovic was aiming to extend his winning streak at the Australian Open to 17 matches when he takes on No. 31 Radek Stepanek later Friday in the third round. Djokovic is aiming to be the first man in the Open era to win three consecutive Australian titles.
Roger Federer has won four Australian titles among his 17 majors, and is ordinarily one of the most popular athletes in Australia.
The only problem is this: His 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 win over Nikolay Davydenko on Thursday night set Federer on course for a third-round match against Bernard Tomic, the last remaining Australian in the men's or women's draws.
The 20-year-old Tomic beat German qualifier Daniel Brands 6-7 (4), 7-5, 7-6 (3), 7-6 (8) in the last afternoon match on the centre court at Melbourne Park, keeping his cool on a long, searing day.
Federer praised Tomic's play for the crowd, and later said he won't mind for whom or how loud fans are cheering Saturday.
"I don't think it matters whether he's the last Australian or 10 more," Federer said. "There's always excitement about Aussies playing here. I played him here last year. The crowd was great. I expect something similar. If it's not, if it's totally for him, that's fine, too. I'm always excited when the crowd gets into it."

A while ago, I brought up the idea of extending alternatives to have a per-user interface as well as a system-wide interface. That was shot down because alternatives is somewhat inelegant. At that time, people suggested that in the long term term, MIME types could replace alternatives. Sounds like this is no longer true, but I would just like to bring up the original point that it would be nice if the mechanism for a user's preferred application had some relation to the system default as well. For example, as an administrator, I may install galeon, epiphany, mozilla, and firebird, but then tell my users they are free to choose, but I will only support firebird. So I would like as an administrator that I can specify a default for 'browser', and my users can choose to depart from that. Further, I would expect some relation between the mechanism for changing the system default and a user's personal default. Much the way we have /etc/profile and ~/.profile today. If work is being done to reimplement preferred applications, I for one would appreciate it if this relation to system-wide applications could be kept in mind. -- Karl DeBisschop <kdebisschop alert infoplease com>

One-Laptop-Per-Child to Use ARM CPUs: Will Windows XP Follow?
The One-Lap-Per-Child (OLPC) project no longer wants to depend on x86 processors, but is moving to the power-saving ARM CPUs some time in the future. Only thing is, ARM isn't supported on Windows XP.
It hasn't even been a year that OLPC chairman Nicholas Negroponte and Microsoft announced the first laptops with Windows XP. Since then a few things in the OLPC project have changed: its staff was cut by a half and development of the Sugar open source interface was turned over to the community. According to the project, they're concentrating more on the XO-2.
They also seem to be doing a 180-degree turn. According to a recent PCWorld article, OLPC wants the XO-2 to go on ARM processors in place of the Geode chip from AMD used in the XO-1. OLPC's chief technologist Ed McNierney feels that the XO-1's 5-watt power consumption is still too high and that they can save further with the ARM chip for the XO-2.
Unfortunately, Windows Mobile is the only Microsoft OS using the ARM CPU, not even for XP. Negroponte is now in talks with Microsoft about an appropriate Windows port: "Like many, we are urging Microsoft to make Windows – not Windows Mobile – available on the Arm. This is a complex question for them," as he reported to PCWorld.
XO-2Seems like the Atom processor would be a better fit. Its inexpensive, and already runs WinXP.

If you want to stop working so hard read on...
"Are You Ready To Let Others Build Your Business For You So You Make MOREMoney But Work Less?"
There are hundreds of thousands of highly skilled people out there waiting to help you make more money!
Dear Friend,
Most people spend far too long working IN their business rather than on it (I'm sure you've heard that term before!).
The fact is if you aren't outsourcing because you don't think it can help you or you don't like trying new things or relinquishing control, then you are missing out on a major opportunity! Outsourcing is not a 'nice to have' or something to think about 'one day', it is what helps you to grow your business, free up your time and annihilate your competition.
Outsourcing doesn't have to be difficult either, in fact with a few good people in place you'll wonder how you ever survived without them! Oh sure there will bumps along the way until you get things running smoothly, there always are, but I'm going to show you the bumps I encountered so you can steer well clear of them and have a much smoother ride!
Outsourcing is all about leveraging other people's time to make YOU money, it is about getting people to do things faster and better than you could hope to do them so your time is freed up to do those jobs that only you can do, the make or break business stuff.
Wouldn't it be great to take a day off safe in the knowledge others are building your business for you?
When you first start an online business then you inevitably try to do everything yourself, you can't afford to outsource, you don't think you know how to outsource, and you want to learn how to do the things you need to do. At first that is probably the way it should be done, for the things you can easily learn then I advise you do, at least then later on when you do outsource you will know what is involved and if you are getting a fair price and a good job done.
But you can't keep on like that, you quickly become a bottleneck, suddenly there is always 'so much to do' and your projects suffer, your profits stagnate, you reach a glass ceiling and you don't even realise it, you just struggle on day by day trying to get through your monster 'to do' list and cursing as your competition seem to effortlessly beat you at every turn.
My guide can help you get out of that self-imposed prison, here is what you could be learning just minutes from now:
How to using outsourcing to scale up to a 7 figure business!
The one place nobody thinks of looking to get dirt cheap and quality freelancers
The seven deadly sins of outsourcing and how you can avoid each one for explosive growth...
The one quirk with outsourcing sites that if you fall foul of will make you pay way over the odds (a rookie mistake!)
The 3 types of tasks that you definitely should be outsourcing, and the 1 type of task you definitely shouldn't! (get this wrong and you might as well not bother hiring any help at all)
The 6 easy steps to write the perfect job spec so you get low quotes and freelancers fighting with each other to work with you
The one thing you can do to make sure you get perfect work back every time - no matter how hard the task is you set them... (easy to do but saves so much hassle!)
One mistake people make that almost guarantees you will lose your best outsourcers over time...
and so much more!

Ware, MA – According to Lisa Beaudry, MPH, BSN, CNM, Director of Patient Care Services, the recent Hospital Consumer Assessment of Health Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) results show that Baystate Mary Lane Hospital consistently ranks high in patients' assessment of and satisfaction with the overall quality of their care, scoring higher than national and state averages and consistently higher than many other hospitals in the region.
Baystate Mary Lane Hospital employees have long understood that quality care is everyone's responsibility. Patients and families who visit the hospital know quality care when they experience it. It's in the way we do our work every day; the way our physicians communicate with their patients; the care our nurses provide in a quiet healing environment; the quick response by our Radiology and Laboratory services when a diagnostic test is needed; the cleanliness of our hospital; and the food we serve. Every member of our staff is committed to ensuring that every healthcare experience at our hospital is outstanding.
Proof that Baystate Mary Lane Hospital continues to provide excellent service to our patients can be found in the recent publication of online data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) survey known as HCAHPS, which stands for Hospital Consumer Assessment of Health Providers and Systems. This government-required survey, which measures the patient experience, is the first national standardized, publicly reported survey of patients' perspective of their hospital care. Since everyone must use the same survey and data collection methodology, HCAHPS provides an equal comparison of all hospitals throughout our state and nation.
Recent HCAHPS results show that Baystate Mary Lane Hospital consistently ranks high in patient satisfaction, scoring higher than national and state averages and higher than many of the hospitals in our region. The HCAHPS Survey contains eight patient perspectives on the care they have received during a hospital stay, including communication with doctors and nurses, responsiveness of hospital staff, pain management, cleanliness and quietness of the hospital environment, and instructions about medications and discharge. This information is publicly available via the Hospital Quality Alliance Web site (www.hospitalcompare.hhs.gov).
In addition to measuring patient satisfaction through the HCAHPS Survey, Baystate Mary Lane Hospital participates in numerous other independent third-party reviews by organizations and governmental agencies – from the federal government's Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health; private organizations such as the Joint Commission; and health insurance companies.
Baystate Mary Lane's HCAHPS results reflect the dedication of our staff and the hard work they have been doing to provide exceptional care to patients. We are especially proud of the work our nurses have done to advance communication with patients and their families at the bedside. With the patient's permission, his or her nurses both come to the room at the change of each shift to talk about their care plan. This provides an excellent opportunity for patients and families to ask questions about the care as well as to meet the incoming nurse.
At the start of each shift our nurses also set goals with their patients. Once they identify what a patient's goal is for that day, the nurse writes it on a white board in the room and everyone on the team focuses on accomplishing the goal, be it walking in the hall, taking a shower or calling a loved one.
In the future, HCAHPS scores will play an even larger role in reimbursement. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which was signed into law last March, will establish a Value-Based Purchasing plan beginning in FY2013. This will mark an historic change in how Medicare pays health care providers and facilities and for the first time, 3,500 hospitals across the country will be paid for inpatient acute care services based on care quality, not just the quantity of services they provide.
This month, our staff and several of our patients will gather to celebrate and recognize our inpatient care team for their outstanding national patient satisfaction scores and for the outstanding care that they provide each and every day. We will also reflect on the successful collaboration of our employees, physicians, volunteers and our leadership teams for their efforts to make healthcare quality a part of their everyday work.
While it is wonderful to be recognized on a national level for such high standards, there is always room for improvement. We will continue to work to raise the bar in making exceptional quality of care, patient satisfaction, and patient safety our number one priority.
At Baystate Mary Lane Hospital, our goal is to do the right thing for patients and their families so that we are the first place that comes to their mind for health care.

Criticising BJP Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi for advocating the Gujarat model of development, Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi dismissed it on Thursday, saying the same formula could not be applied to all states in the country.
"Each state has its own history, knowledge, thought and own model. The same formula cannot be applied to all states of the country," Gandhi said at an election meeting in the Tezpur Lok Sabha constituency.
"Assam does not need the Gujarat model, but the Assam model and it is already there leading to development and growth in the state," he said.
"The Gujarat model has been in existence for a long time and it has been shaped by its women, farmers and workers there. There is no need for a single person to take credit for it," Gandhi, flanked by Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi and APCC President Bhubaneswar Kalita, said.
"BJP believes in only one thought which is applicable across the country, but this is not a country of one thought or idea," he said.

Paul designed them, paid for them to be made so yes they, the intellectual property of them would belong to him.I highy doubt they've ever actually been in the USA and would of spent most of their lives probably in China having racquets made from them.
THe reason the vantage facebook acc etc remaned with Paul is because they are his, vantage tennis was his, he created it and Sven was his partner in the US, you take someone on board to sell for you under a license agreement that's what it is, if they stop paying you the fee each month/quarterly/year then they are not involved anymore. Legally person B isn't entitled to keep selling under the same name (or copy a website-if it was his, why doesn't it work as it used to where you could build a frame one step at a time?) however the cost of going through the courts to stop someone is huge for a niche company and can't be worthwhile.
You're absolutely right on the manufacture of the rackets - brain fart on my part (woken up super early by the kids today so I'm still half asleep). I won't claim to know facts, and frankly I don't want to speak on Sven's behalf. I've heard some things from a couple of different places, and won't for a second pretend like I know the absolute of what happened!
I only ever dealt with Sven. He always did the right thing by me and my team. Since the split he has continued to do so. I am not meaning to speak ill of Paul at all - I've never even talked to the guy let alone dealt with him. Honestly I wasn't really thinking about what Sven will do for frames moving forward. It will be interesting! It'd also be interesting to know the truth of what happened between them, but I guess only they will really ever know.

NimbleBit's 'Tiny Tower Vegas' Now Available Worldwide
The sequel to NimbleBit's popular free-to-play tower building game Tiny Tower is now available for download worldwide after soft launching in several countries earlier this summer. Tiny Tower Vegas incorporates the same tower building gameplay found in the original game, melding it with several Las Vegas-themed mini games like poker and slot machines.
As in the previous game, the idea is for players to continually build up and manage a tower filled with various businesses that generate coins. Like many free-to-play titles, Tiny Tower Vegas includes various countdown timers for functions like restocking floors, which can be sped up with the use of real life currency.
Tiny Tower Vegas can, however, be played without investing any real money. There are three types of currency in the game: coins, bux, and poker chips. Coins are earned from the tower's occupants, while bux are won from the included gambling mini games, which are played using poker chips. While poker chips can be purchased in app, there are also continual mini events in the game that reward players with the currency.
The game includes several tower customization options and features that were available in the original Tiny Tower, including a BitBook with funny status updates, elevator upgrades, and multiplayer options that allow users to visit friends' towers and team up with other users in the Players Club.

I'm a bit unimpressed with Nimblebit for the way they abandon their games like Tiny Deathstar and NimbleQuest.
|Aug 27, 2014, 03:38 PM
Edit: Just tried it out, although it seems like Bux are now easier to make (you can play slots to win them using a third currency, poker chips), actions requiring Bux are also much more expensive. Upgrading a floor now costs 20 Bux. Upgrading the elevator speed is now in increments of FPS (floors per second). The first upgrade is 0.25FPS at a cost of 200 Bux. Yikes.
Edit2: Elevator upgrades spike in costs, but FPS remain the same. Level 2 upgrade: 0.25FPS for 313 Bux. Hooray?

I played the Star Wars one and while it was cute, for the life of me I couldn't figure out why anyone called it a 'game'.
There is no game, you just wait, do exactly as you're told, maybe make an utterly vacuous choice between a couple of options, then wait some more. Being a player of (the original!) Sim City I kept waiting for something to happen to jeopardise my ever increasing income, but nothing ever did. You're just given stuff and you collect it. There's absolutely no obstacle other than the waiting.
It was like playing Pacman in slow motion without the ghosts.

Shameless (bad) copy of the original "Yoot Tower" (also known as SimTower by Maxis, for which Yoot Tower is the sequel).

So I played it. It's actually really nice how they made this about not only building up the tower, but playing mini games too.
Each little mini game costs you one chip, and some of them are poker based, others are slots. It's definitely a game for the older crowd and not so much kiddos because of these games.
Chips are easily obtainable by doing the quests, you get three for each one. Your chances of winning bux are pretty good too, and if you have them, the coins are not as important.
I liked the Windows Phone tile they had for Tiny Death Star. I hope they make iOS 8 widgets with the same info/stats, it'd be really nice for people that play their games.

I'm probably going to give this Tiny Tower a miss, I spent many a rather enjoyable hour building my Star Wars: Tiny Death Star to 79 levels with 115 bitizens, amazingly without spending any money (something I feel a bit guilty about given the amount of fun I had playing and the amount of time I spent in the game).
If you like Vegas (who doesn't?!?!) and haven't played one of these yet, or you like any of the others Tiny Tower games, I think this is a must play game.

Las Vegas for Kids!. Would you place your kid in front of a one armed slotmachine?
|Aug 29, 2014, 04:30 AM
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 has slots, so does a few Super Mario games, it's not like this is something that kids haven't seen. Heck, I was stuffing quarters all the time in machines when I was a kid, and I still do. Sometimes it's a pinball machine or game of sort, or sometimes it's a slot machine.
Would I place my kids in front of a slot machine if I had any? Yes, if it's allowed by the place.
You have to teach them to be responsible with money, and they have to understand that the machines exist to make someone money, and that someone is not them. Too many people go to a casino with the idea that they're going to be able to make their next rent payment or win the big jackpot, when what you really need to be doing is going there to relax and have some responsible fun.
I'd of course let them play on arcade machines before I'd go that far though.

Honestly, the arcades in the 80s were more wasteful than any slot machine I've sunk coin in. Slots are boring though, so don't worry about kids getting hooked.
