I am constantly reading my horoscope to see where my future lies in my everyday life, however they never really go into things about fitness. This is odd to me because fitness is a big part of my everyday life. So you can imagine how thrilled I was to see that the super smart folks over at SparkPeople have come up with this genius list of Healthy Fitness Horoscopes:

I also am an overindulging Taurus too....that's why exercise is soooo necessary for me to keep everything in balance :)

Taurus ^_^ "The physical, sensual side of life is very important to the Taurus. You love to feel connected with your body and enjoy the perks in life, including good food and good wine. Be careful not to enjoy them too much, or you might have to spend more time in the gym than you'd like. After a hard workout, reward yourself with a massage or a soak in the outside. Go hiking, swimming or skating and connect with the great outdoors as much as possible." That is so true!! I almost always over indulge :| gotta get serious!

There was one part of mine (aquarius) that was completely the opposite of how I am. "If you are an Aquarius, you thrive in social settings. Being alone stifles your creativity and brings you down, so take advantage of your friendly nature and join a fitness class. In your mind, the more the merrier!" I'm a loner through and through. I prefer to do all my workouts alone or with my fiance. I'm definitely not a fitness class goer and never will be.

I am a Virgo too ... fitness magazines next to bed - yes, having a fitness plan for a running event - yes!

I'm a virgo as well, and it's definitely on the money with the "stack of fitness magazines next to your bed" comment!
HistoryGeek913 7 years
"Virgos... focus on losing one or two pounds a week, taking it one week at a time. You're a pro at deciphering information and deciding whether it's useful or not, so take the time to read through the stack of fitness magazines next to your bed and devise your own workout routine. Since you can't handle chaos, you need to have an organized fitness plan. You're more likely to stick to plans made in advance, so spend Sunday evenings with your calendar and plot out your fitness routine for the week. " Very intersting, and spot on, too. I've been in a slump lately, and I think that it's time to re-design my workout!

Doubling of housing fee goes before council
'Linkage' fee level would return to 1990 level by 2017
RS Means estimates the average cost to build an office building in San Diego at $183.29 per square foot, so that the new fee, if in effect today, would add about
"We're heard arguments against increasing, that it hurts San Diego, but we saw no evidence of that," Gentry said.
However, Paul Webster, public policy vice president at the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce, said the impact of higher fees is obvious.
"If it's an increased cost -- it's going affect the financing, materials, costs, everything," Webster said.
To the proposed compromise to increase the fee gradually, he responded, "A tax increase delayed is still a tax increase, and it's going to affect people's planning, projections, the entire production cycle."
Susan Tinsky, president of the San Diego Housing Federation that advocates for affordable-housing developers, called the compromise "pretty ridiculous...pretty lame" because the new fees only return the rates to what they were in 1990.
As for the impact on development, she said the fees amount to "pennies" compared to the full cost of construction and development and would be amortized over the life of the building and its financing package.
"It's not a job killer," she said. "It's a development impact fee for mitigation," she said.
The council's Land Use and Housing Committee voted 3-1 for the measure in March, meaning it needs only two more votes for passage.
Webster said the chamber hopes for at least a 4-4 tie, in which the case the measure would fail.
Mayor Jerry Sanders has not announced whether he would veto the measure if it passes.

Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney Has Died
August 30, 2013
The 1995 Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney has died. According to the New York Times, the Irish poet "whose lyrical beauty and ethical depth… gave him a prominence far beyond literary circles, died in Dublin after a brief illness." He was seventy-four. Other awards that Heaney received include the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize (1968), the E.M. Forster Award (1975), the PEN Translation Prize (1985), the Golden Wreath of Poetry (2001), T.S. Eliot Prize (2006), and two Whitbread Prizes (1996 and 1999).
Born on a farm in Londonderry in Northern Ireland, Heaney chose to live in Dublin. He resented British oppression in Northern Ireland, but greatly admired British culture and English literature. "His poems often mined the images of his childhood—the peat bogs, small towns, and potato farms—and, in collections like 1975's "North," delved into the sectarian violence that was ripping the North apart, exploring its sorrows and causes, though he avoided becoming a spokesman for the Republican cause." Notable about Heaney is that through his rise to fame, he remained an accessible and public writer. He was a respected translated and broadcaster also. One of the most gifted and distinctive poets of the 20th century, Robert Lowell called him the most important Irish poet since Yeats.
The New York Times rightly states that he was rare among modern poets in that not only the vast majority of critics and academics praised him, but millions of readers also bought him. According to some estimates, he was the best-read living poet in the world in recent decades. He published more than a dozen major collections of poems in his lifetime.
Heaney taught at Harvard, and to the Boston area, he was a great facilitator of interscholastic play and celebrations of poetry. A big and generous spirit, he made fiefdoms less insular and more communal. He was a great teacher and ambassador for poetry's role in the world.
AWP is honored to have presented Seamus Heaney, together with Derek Walcott, in a keynote presentation at its recent Annual Conference and Bookfair in Boston.

Best Deal Ever, but dont expect smiles..
General Bullet points
-with or without hotel, the flight-hotel package was the same, wow, that was one great deal.
-one of the best locations on the island, away from heavy tourism, weather of course more sporadic as at base of mountains, and
early march but could fire a high powered bibi gun to the sea
-great access to all the wonderful hiking and scenery on the north end
-hotel is 6 years old, great ocean view and mountain views. located on west side of valley, looking directly out at famous white chapel on hlll. views comprised about 160 full degrees, north to sea and beginning of confined valley that hotel resides in, and up towards mountain pass leading to funchal
-about half hour to funchal
-you need a car here
-never found supermercado near by, but found one in porto moniz 15 klicks west
-nice choice of casual dining along the saterfront, around 5-8 resaurants, all decent to really good, all affordable
hotel specifics
-hotel has open feel, nice fireplace with huge kush leather chairs, multi lingual library, but limited english, bar access anytime, just ring the bell. beer 4.50 euro per half liter, bout twice what it is in town, but not bad and fresh. good scotch 4 bucks a pour
-great morning breakfast included daily from 8-10. british and continental, hot and cold, nice coffee
-staff very attendant at meal time but not in your grille. they like to pick where you sit, weird.
-dinner expensive but nice presentation and quality. Worth it maybe once or twice in a 1-2 week stay. expect 60 euro for a couple including wine
-swimming pool outside but covered and heated. hot tub not sufficiently heated and maybe not adequetely filtered or cleaned. sporadic operation, but they will turn up or on upon request, including sauna
-who needs a gym but they have a few basics
-mini fridge in room, high pressure water in bathroom, nice. tv basic, hollywood channel in english for movies, cnn.
-staff is in general good, but not friendly, not helpful for tourism purposes, you must find and make your own way and plans, and dont expect gratefulness in disposition. they could definately use a class in friendliness, as most are quite dour. this, for us, was unexpecteldly important in satisfaction, and in fact what cost them another star. would it kill to say thank you or inquire about your stay or needs or any ovation at all please thank you.
-terrible wool blankets
-bed not comfortable, but relative
-ample parking
in all, we spent evenings and mornings at the hotel and days exploring and hiking, and for that, the hotel suited us very fine. one day we were ill and spent resting, rainy day and we used spa and sauna.
if lounging by poolside in the sun is for you, then do not choose this mountainside hotel with views. if getting away from it and solo adventuring is it, then i think this hotel is good. strange mini golf course not in use below rooms.
get a rental car. use discount codes available online. bring with you the confirmation as i had to re negotiate the price at pick up.

Maybin shows discipline at the plate in 2014 debut, while Kennedy continues to shine on the mound
Ian Kennedy's earned-run average through six starts (37 innings) this season.
Padres at Giants
Today: Padres RHP Tyson Ross (2-3, 3.16 ERA) at Giants LHP Madison Bumgarner (2-2, 3.14), 7:15 p.m.
On the air: FSSD; 1090-AM, 860-AM (Spanish)
WASHINGTON In Sunday's 4-2 victory for the Padres, in his first major league at-bat in nearly 11 months, Cameron Maybin waited for the right pitch. He gazed at a fastball, then at a slider. He fouled off a change-up. He watched two balls sail by as the count went to 2-and-2.
The sixth offering was a slider that hovered in the strike zone a split-second too long. Torquing his 6-foot-3 frame, Maybin sent a liner hissing toward Anthony Rendon. The Nationals third baseman stabbed at the ball, but it skipped off his glove and went skittering down the left-field line. Maybin slid into second, feet first, for a double. As he ran, his bent right arm had pumped up and down in trademark style.
Fair or not, Maybin's performance will be parsed over the ensuing days. The center fielder started in his first game for the Padres since June. He went 2-for-4 with that double and a single, coming around to score on the latter. It was a welcome sight for a team that managed to split a four-game series despite scoring just nine runs. It was an encouraging debut for a team that remains in a harrowing search for an offensive spark.
"He's obviously a very dynamic player, capable of doing everything well on the field," said Chris Denorfia, who went 2-for-3 with two RBIs. "We're really happy to have him back."
In the meantime, there will be games, such as Sunday's, when the Padres' pitching buys them a bit more time. Ian Kennedy threw his third quality outing in as many tries. The veteran right-hander shrugged off a run in the first to allow the Nationals no more. In seven innings, he allowed three hits and no walks. His nine strikeouts were his most since July 2012. After hitting a batter in the second, he retired 16 straight batters.
"He got better as the game went on," said Padres manager Bud Black. "He threw a great game, which we needed. We're not scoring a lot of runs of late. That's gonna come, but Ian pitched great."
Kennedy benefited from a defense that played crisply after committing a season-high three errors Saturday, the prime example being Will Venable's diving, backhand grab in the right-field corner. Washington's Jayson Werth was robbed of extra bases in the sixth.
"That was a beautiful play," said Kennedy, who threw 76 strikes among 117 pitches, his most yet with the Padres.
Aside from consecutive doubles yielded in the first, that giving the Nationals a 1-0 lead, Kennedy's dominance kept the Padres within striking distance.
They struck in the fourth. Denorfia led off with a walk. Yasmani Grandal drilled a double off the top of the right-field wall. Jedd Gyorko lifted a sacrifice fly for his first RBI since April 15.

It's that time of the year again! No, I'm not talking about the hot Texas summer, although we are starting to feel that familiar heat a little bit.

There's nothing sophisticated about the average burglary. In fact, according to the FBI, forced entry via a broken window or other crude method accounted for approximately 2/3 of all burglaries in 2013. Most other break-ins occurred due to homeowner carelessness such as leaving a window or garage door open. The fact is, most petty thieves just aren't smart enough to bypass a security system.

Lockheed Martin Selects Interphase as a Preferred Supplier for High-performance Communication Products.
-- Provides Internet-based Access to Interphase Product Information
for Lockheed Martin Locations Worldwide --
Interphase Corporation (Nasdaq:INPH), an international supplier of enterprise networking technologies, today announced a worldwide, multi-year purchasing agreement which establishes the company as a preferred supplier for Lockheed Martin Corporation (NYSE:LMT).
Under the agreement, Interphase joins a select group of companies with pre-approved supplier status, helping to streamline the ordering process and to ensure that Lockheed Martin's customers receive the highest quality products available.
"Our preferred suppliers undergo a rigorous evaluation process which looks at criteria including competitive pricing, product and service quality, technology roadmaps and future directions, as well as overall management strength," said Jon Rambeau, subcontracts project manager for Lockheed Martin. "We concluded from our competitive vendor analysis that Interphase was in a strong position to meet our requirements for data communications connectivity."
As part of the agreement, Lockheed Martin's engineering and procurement personnel will have direct access to Interphase product specifications and pricing via a special Web site established specifically for the Interphase/Lockheed Martin supplier relationship. This customized site provides worldwide access to the latest information on the entire line of Interphase communications products, including the popular PowerSAN(TM) Fibre Channel adapter and the award-winning ENTIA(TM) line of WAN communications controllers.

AEGIS is a radar and missile system that provides United States Navy warships with state-of-the-art air defense capabilities and is capable of simultaneous warfare on several fronts including air, surface and subsurface. ATWCS takes advantage of commercial off-the-shelf computer technology to initiate and support launch preparation of Tomahawk land attack missiles on surface combatants and fast attack submarines.

Winter/Spring 2003
Volume 16, Number 1
The FDA has just given its much-awaited OK to localized chemotherapy as a "first crack" at malignant brain tumors. The approved method relies on a dime-size polymer wafer-laced with the chemotherapeutic agent BCNU-that releases the drug onto malignant cells.
Henry Brem and the dime-size
"When you apply therapy directly where it's needed, you minimize whole-body side effects that would otherwise keep you from using something so potent," says Hopkins' Neurosurgeon in Chief Henry Brem, M.D., who developed the technique. "We've seen that quality of life improves when we can combine the implants with surgery," adds Alessandro Olivi, M.D, head of neurosurgical oncology.
Surgeons using the Gliadel wafer first remove a tumor, then blanket the newly exposed brain surface with several of the slender discs. This area is often a "gray zone," still hiding cancer cells beyond surgery's reach.
A recent Phase III study of 240 patients showed the wafers plus follow-up radiation do indeed extend life. Five times more patients cross the three-year survival mark with wafer treatment than without it.
Gliadel technology for brain tumors has been available for some patients since 1996. But prior to this February's approval, the FDA had given its stamp only for recurring, highly invasive glioblastoma multiforme tumors following surgery. Now its use is expanded to all patients with primary malignant brain tumors.
And, most important, patients can get the therapy when they're first diagnosed.

It's taken a few months for the MiTo to get a proper diesel engine. So far it's been getting by on a safe but dull 1.3-litre unit, but now we have this - a 1.6-litre looking to flex its muscles in the direction of a Mini Cooper D. It's about the same size as the Mini's, give or take a cubic centimetre or two, but gets a lot more torque (236lb ft versus 177).
Unfortunately, that extra shove gives the MiTo's CO2 figure a kick in the guts. That plentiful torque is useful if quick driving is your kinda thing, but not great if you're looking for a cheaper tax disc. While the Mini emits a squeaky-clean 104g/km, the MiTo puts out 126. That's an 85-quid-a-year difference.
Forget carbon for now, though. Because if you're going to buy an Alfa, what you really want to know is how it goes. And it's good news, from the engine at least. The 1.6-litre JTDM is quiet, swift and more refined than most Fiat Group diesels. There's no sign of intrusive clatter and it sounds peaceful enough at motorway speeds.
For a diesel, it can even feel fun, especially when you flick the DNA (Alfa's electronic trickery system) into 'dynamic' mode. That sharpens the throttle, weights up the steering, and engages turbo overboost, sending the revs hurtling into the redline a good deal faster.
But - and because it's an Alfa there is always a but - the MiTo has a major problem, and it lies at each corner of the car.
The suspension just can't deal with what the road throws at it. Roll over potholes and it crashes hard enough to make your teeth chatter. Hit a speed hump slightly too fast and the dampers thump into their bump-stops, sending passengers into an impromptu head-banging session. And then there's the motorway bobble as it fails to settle into a smooth, flat cruise. There's just nothing subtle about it, and it's hard to enjoy the car's strong points while all that rodeo action goes on underneath you.
It's just not good enough for a car hoping to compete with the best. And that's a shame, because there are lots of reasons to like the MiTo. The stylish interior, the pretty exterior, the strong diesel, the lively DNA system. But at this price, if it's really going to scrap with the Cooper D, that suspension needs to do a whole lot better.

Do Experts or Collective Intelligence Write with More Bias? Evidence from Encyclop�dia Britannica and Wikipedia
Britannica and Wikipedia are sources that aspire to provide comprehensive information. They both face similar challenges over the length, tone, and factual basis of controversial, unverifiable, and subjective content. Such challenges are pervasive in the production of encyclopedic knowledge about current events and political debates surrounding topics like taxation, health care policies, biographical details of presidential candidates, and the funding of stem-cell research, for example. In this paper the authors begin with a simple observation: Each source resolves these challenges differently in distinct production processes. Britannica, for example, produces its final content after consultation between editors and experts. Wikipedia, on the other hand, relies on the "crowd" for its content, receiving contributions from tens of millions of individual users. Examining 3,918 pairs of articles about US politics that appeared in both outlets, the authors compare bias and slant from the two production models. Results suggest that the allocation of editorial time and user contributions is central to the minimization of differences in bias and slant between the two outlets. Among the managerial implications, community managers can work towards a balanced view if intervention alleviates disputes and generates the right kind of participation. Read More

The Impact of Patent Wars on Firm Strategy: Evidence from the Global Smartphone Market
Patents and patent enforcement strategies have become an essential part of firms' competitive strategies: They are used as isolating mechanisms to protect intellectual property or as defense mechanisms to help obtain access to external innovations. Using data from the global smartphone market, the authors of this paper investigate the effect of escalated patent litigations—the so-called patent war—on firm strategy. The smartphone industry is a classic example of a business ecosystem, as participants in this industry are highly interconnected and this interconnectivity means that effects on some ecosystem participants are likely to extend to affect the rest. The authors' findings show that the efficacy of patent enforcement systems across markets plays a significant role in firm strategy during patent wars, and ultimately shapes the global competitive landscape. As the patent war intensifies, smartphone vendors, even those not directly involved in patent litigations, gradually shift their business foci to markets with weaker intellectual property (IP) rights protection. This shift, however, is attenuated for vendors with stronger technological capabilities and is more pronounced for vendors whose home markets have weak IP systems. Together, these changes shape the competitive landscape for platform competition. Read More

hmm well, going though most answers.....and they did give us a bunch...it is kinda a
good news, bad news kinda thing.....at launch...it will get better over time.
Bad news, gotta use pre-made interior and ground maps...might have a lot to choose from.
That will limit what we can do at the start, but the good news will make it a small thing.
The good news, we can use most game maps to include real public areas..and copies of current
game maps that we can modify (place stuff).
Also there will be some star fleet exterior building available at launch.
So if you wanted to make you own star base....you will have to use a copy of a current SB,
however you can place what you want in it. Not perfect but useable.
Also, if you wanted to make an adventure of Vulcan...you can put it on Vulcan...the public one.
very cool.

'Dirty tricks' claim as Cumbrian bus firms clash
Last updated at 14:13, Friday, 07 February 2014
Bus company Reays has accused rival Stagecoach of trying to "run them off the road".
The Wigton-based firm says Stagecoach has laid on extra buses immediately in front of its new Wigton-Carlisle service in an attempt to sweep up waiting passengers.
Stagecoach has denied any dirty tricks.
Reays has operated a school bus from Carlisle to Wigton's Nelson Thomlinson School since February 2012.
It launched the 500 last month to make use of this vehicle during the day.
The service provides four return journeys from Syke Park and Greenacres through Wigton town centre to Thursby, the Cumberland Infirmary and Carlisle.
But a week after the 500 began, Stagecoach added extra journeys on its 38 service, leaving Syke Road at 9.16am and 10.45am – respectively four and five minutes before Reays' departures.
The Stagecoach buses from Carlisle leave the bus station at 9.55am and 1.55pm, again five minutes before Reays'. Like the Wigton firm's journeys, the Stagecoach buses run only on schooldays.
Andy Horn, transport manager at Reays, said: "This is blatant. We are trying to keep away from Stagecoach and do our own thing, and they come along and do this. They are trying to run a local company off the road."
Reays launched a City Hopper network in Carlisle in 2010 in competition with Stagecoach but axed all but two of the routes last year, saying they were uneconomic. It also ran buses from Workington to Carlisle briefly, and seasonal routes in the Lake District.
A spokeswoman for Stagecoach denied that its extra Carlisle-Wigton journeys were deliberate spoilers.
"This is absolute nonsense," she said.
"We find it telling that this issue has been raised only following a complaint we lodged about Reays occupying a city centre bus stop for long periods, preventing our customers from accessing our services easily. We are a highly professional bus operator and have operated services between Wigton and Carlisle for years."

21.11.07 - By Jake Roberts: On November 10th, David The Hayemaker Haye produced the finest performance of his professional career by knocking out the teak tough Frenchman Jean-Mark Mormeck in Paris, France. It was an upset of sorts because Mormeck was considered the man at cruiserweight, and had suffered only one loss in the last 10 years. That was to the Jamaican ONeil Bell, which he avenged six months later with a convincing unanimous decision to reassert his dominance in the 200-pound division..
The Bermondsey Bomber said before the fight that it would be explosive, and he was proven right during the course of seven pulsating rounds. Haye was dropped in the fourth and the partisan crowd sensed an early finish but it was not to be. He weathered the storm in the forth and fifth rounds, and his unmistakable swagger remerged in the sixth. From then on Haye took control, using his fast hands and mobility to land hard punches and make Mormeck miss. The knockout in the seventh was a crushing one: a right hook, right uppercut combination sent Mormeck reeling and as he backed up, the Englishman landed what could only be described as a roundhouse right hand that threw Mormeck to the floor. Although he got to his feet at the count of eight he was in no condition to continue fighting, and the Italian referee waved off the contest.
It was a victory that positioned Haye at the top of the cruiserweight tree, and one that British fans had been expecting for a while. A victory made even more special by the fact that Haye was willing to travel to France to face the champion, something that is rare among British fighters.
Having won the World Boxing Council and World Boxing Association straps, Haye is 95% sure that he will give them up immediately to pursue stardom in the heavyweight ranks. This is mostly due to the fact that he struggles tremendously to make the 200 pound limit. A move up would therefore rule out a showdown with fellow British titleholder, WBO champion Enzo Maccarinelli. A fight between the two was almost set twelve months ago but broke down in mysterious circumstances. The Haye camp said Frank Warren (Maccarinellis Promoter) wanted options on a rematch, and Warren replied by saying that Haye wanted more money at the last minute. It would have been an all British unification match, something that would have captured the nations imagination and probably the worlds, but it was not meant to be. Maccarinelli walks around at about 200 pounds and makes the limit easily so a contest at heavyweight is unlikely.
So what are The Hayemakers chances at Heavyweight? The London Natives only previous outing came against Tomasz Bonin who was ranked number eleven by the WBC at the time. It was an easy nights work for Haye as he blew away the Pole, dropping him three times in the first round before the official waved it off. In fact his power seemed to increase as he stepped up, he looked stronger, faster and much more comfortable at the weight. He possesses speed, reflexes and footwork that is almost unseen in todays current crop of big men, but the big question is how will his chin stand up?
That is the one criticism that has been made of him after his only loss, when he was tkod by the veteran Carl The Cat Thompson. Haye punched himself out looking for a quick stoppage and his corner pulled him out in the fifth round after he took some punishment. It was a naive performance, thinking he could just blast out the wily, old campaigner and one which he admits he has learnt from. You cant put muscles on chins but maybe you can in Hayes case because we have seen Miguel Cottos chin improve as he has moved to his natural weight. He had to shed two stones to make weight and that must have an effect come fight night.
Comparisons with Lennox Lewis are premature but he has the undoubted talent to become a superstar in the sport. In my opinion Haye would beat most of the competition, but could he hang with the only world-class heavyweight, Vladimir Klitschko? only time will tell. The future looks for rosy David Haye, so if you havent heard his name before you will have soon.

Seattle, Wash.: Today, Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center dedicated the new five-story Janet Sinegal Patient Care Building located at 4800 Sand Point Way NE. Designed by HKS, Inc., of Dallas, Texas, and built by Sellen Construction of Seattle, the building includes artwork created by Northwest artists. The building will increase Children's total inpatient capacity from 208 to 250 beds, the first inpatient bed expansion in 25 years.
"The new Janet Sinegal Patient Care Building would not have been possible without the generosity, drive and compassion of our dedicated supporters and benefactors, who help us fulfill the promise of delivering the best pediatric health care anywhere," said Dina Wells, Board of Trustees at Children's. "Janet Sinegal is one of our true heroes. We are delighted to honor her commitment and devotion to the health care of children by naming our newest facility for her."
Janet Sinegal is an active trustee in Children's Hospital's Guild Association, Foundation and Hospital boards and the first person to serve simultaneously on all three. Together with her husband, Jim, president and CEO of Costco Wholesale, they have spearheaded fundraising efforts involving Costco employees and vendors that have contributed significantly to Children's. The Sinegals have also given generously to Children's on a personal basis.
The new building will house a medical unit, surgery and rehabilitation units, a meditation room, play areas, teen activity rooms, shower facilities and 80 single- and double-occupancy patient rooms equipped with the latest medical technology and designed with flexible space that can readily adapt to changes in medical practice. Each patient room includes a pullout couch and large windows.
"This building will help meet the ever-increasing needs of our growing region and the advancements in pediatric specialty care and technology," said Richard Molteni, M.D., Medical Director at Children's. "Our new facility was designed to provide more privacy and comfort for families while allowing the flexibility to accommodate future growth. "
The facility was made possible by contributions from private donors, who contributed more than half of the total cost of the new building. The building and planned renovations to the existing inpatient wing is budgeted for a little over $60 million.
Parents of patients were consulted on room design, furniture, color schemes and artwork. Using this input, local artists created whimsical safari, wetlands, beach and "Our Town" design themes for different floors of the building.
"Since 1907, the mission of Children's Hospital has been to care for all children, regardless of their families' ability to pay," Treuman Katz, president and CEO at Children's. "This has been made possible by the extremely generous support of the entire community. We are very grateful and appreciative of those who worked tirelessly to ensure that Children's remains one of the best children's hospitals in the country."
Consistently ranked as one of the best children's hospitals in the country by U.S. News & World Report, Seattle Children's serves as the pediatric and adolescent academic medical referral center for the largest landmass of any children's hospital in the country (Washington, Alaska, Montana and Idaho). For more than 100 years, Seattle Children's has been delivering superior patient care while advancing new treatments through pediatric research. Seattle Children's serves as the primary teaching, clinical and research site for the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Washington School of Medicine. The hospital works in partnership with Seattle Children's Research Institute and Seattle Children's Hospital Foundation.

SANTA CLARA, Calif.–One of the most interesting interviews we came across on the drive was here at Renesas, where we didn't really expect a philosophical discussion of the merits of nurturing innovation.
But we found it in Ranjit Deshpande, Renesas' vice president of engineering. He's a veteran of 2Wire, the communications company, and so brings a systems-level perspective to his new job at a semiconductor company.
He has very firm ideas about how to encourage innovation and structure engineering departments. At Renesas, for example, he has two main teams, roughly divided into the "advanced development team" (think Google best practices) and the "implementation team."
But Deshpande is convinced that engineers can excel in either environment. He said:
"I want to encourage every single engineer in my team to think outside of the box. Every single ee on my team is capable of coming up with these solutions."

Q: Why you love photography?
A: I LOVE photography because I get to stop a moment in time and create a memory forever! My clients become my friends… It's so fun to see them come back time after time. I LOVE to watch them change and grow year after year. The other thing is most of the time people are having fun when I'm shooting them….I get to be around smiles all the time! I call my job "party hopping".

The SRAM XX Q166 GXP 10 Speed Chainset delivers amazing performance and durability with no penalties in weight. The first MTB crank specifically designed for 2×10 uses some of the world's most advanced material science. The oversized chainrings are CNC machined form 6mm 7075 aluminium blanks – 2mm thicker than the competition. Unparalleled stiffness is delivered by an increased Bolt Circle Diameter (BCD) and a two-piece insert moulded carbon composite competition. The XX crank geometry provides a narrow 156mm Q factor, efficient chainline and bevelled crank arms to maximise clearance. It's pure science in action.
GXP is different – and better. Other systems rely on side-load bearings to eliminate play, causing bearing wear. GXP captures the left-side bearing between the spindle and the left crank arm and allows the drive-side bearing to float axially on the spindle. There's no need to side-load bearings during adjustment. No excess wear and a much simpler installation. Just tighten to the proper specifications and you're ready to roll, worry-free. GXP's two bicycle-specific cartridge bearings and eight seals ensure a smooth, long-lasting ride. SRAM's new gutter seal system takes a two stage approach in directing contaminates away from the bearings providing longer bearing life.

Copyright protection of the design for the common face of euro coins
The designs for the common face of the euro coins were selected after a competition organised at European level. They show three different maps of Europe against a background of the twelve stars of the European Union. In this communication the Commission sets out the system of copyright protection of the designs for the common face of euro coins and reviews the rules on their reproduction.

Chillbongo wrote:^ Wait, the same dude who thinks MDA is a great coach wants to see him reunited with CARMELO?
It's amazing the thought put into some things around here...
"I think under the circumstances, Mike did a great job. We don't anticipate any kind of a change," Kupchak told ESPNLosAngeles.com.
"No training camp, all the injuries, through the end of the season he's done a great job."
D'Antoni took the job under rather remarkable circumstances this November. The Lakers fired Mike Brown just five games into the season, then interviewed three coaches in a 48-hour period before choosing D'Antoni, who was still recovering from knee replacement surgery.
One of those other coaches, was of course, former Lakers coach Phil Jackson. And the specter of the 11-time NBA champion coach, and the road not taken, has hung over the Laker franchise all season.
The Lakers lost that game to fall to 17-25 on the season, but rallied to go 28-12 the rest of the way, including a 5-0 mark to close out the season and vault past Houston into the No. 7 seed.
"He doesn't get enough credit, and understandably so," Kupchak said. "We struggled through two-thirds of the season and expectations were so high. The Lakers didn't help things by making the coaching change and putting Mike in that situation, which he was glad to take. But I think it was a little bit tougher than he thought it would be."
As the season went on, D'Antoni gradually changed his offense to fit the Lakers personnel, and adjusted to numerous injuries.
Every starter for the Lakers missed significant time. Dwight Howard missed time with a shoulder injury, Pau Gasol missed six weeks after tearing the plantar fascia in his right foot, Nash has been out on several occasions (two months with a broken leg, then the last two weeks with hamstring, hip and back issues) and Kobe Bryant was lost for the season with a torn Achilles' three games ago.
Kupchak credited D'Antoni and his staff for weathering those storms, and adjusting his system to better fit the personnel.
"You can watch personnel from 3,000 miles away and think you know a team. But when you get here and you watch the practice and play with that team, it might not be exactly what you thought it was," Kupchak said. "I thought he made adjustments and remained flexible with the players. We're not playing the same way we played when he first got here. We had a chance to look at the team and get to know the players, get to know the bench players and it's probably different than what he thought."
D'Antoni signed a three-year contract worth $12 million. The Lakers hold a team option on the fourth year of that deal. The Los Angeles Times first reported that D'Antoni will return next year.
The Lakers will face the No. 2 seeded San Antonio Spurs in a first-round playoff series beginning Sunday afternoon.
"Yeah, he's back. I think he's done a great job," Kupchak told The Times. "There's been no discussions otherwise.
"He's made adjustments. He's been flexible. He's evaluated how he coaches as the season's progressed. He's listened to the players. He's very easy to work with and we think in particular since the meeting the day of the Memphis game, yeah."
D'Antoni is 40-32 since taking over as the Lakers' coach, though the Lakers are 28-12 since the day after a team meeting called by D'Antoni in Memphis in January.
D'Antoni, 61, has two more guaranteed years for a total of $8 million. The Lakers also owe former coach Mike Brown about $6 million over the next two years. Brown was fired five games into this season.
The Lakers have remained patient with D'Antoni.
"Much has been made of the injuries, and the coaching change [in November] and no training camp, which is certainly a part of it," Kupchak said of their up-and-down season.
"It takes a while. You're in New York coaching and you see the Lakers once or twice a year, you don't know the personnel. And the injury situation when he got here, Steve Nash had the broken leg. There's just too much going on to really look at it any other way."

Phil Jackson ready for NBA return
Updated: April 17, 2013, 3:09 PM ET
By Ramona Shelburne and Marc Stein | ESPN.com
After nearly two seasons in retirement, Phil Jackson has become increasingly interested in working in the NBA next season, according to sources familiar with his thinking.
That doesn't necessarily mean a return to coaching, as Jackson is known to be intrigued by the concept of moving into management for the first time in his career.
But sources told ESPN.com this week that Jackson is "itching" to go back to work after a long spell to recharge since leaving the Los Angeles Lakers' bench following the 2010-11 season.
Sources stressed that there is no specific opportunity in play yet for Jackson, who resisted coaching overtures from the Brooklyn Nets earlier this season and told longtime confidant Charley Rosen in January in a SheridanHoops.com story that he "has no intention of ever coaching again."
But NBA coaching sources say that stance will not dissuade teams with openings from approaching Jackson this offseason to gauge his interest, with the Nets and Cleveland Cavaliers -- who interviewed Jackson in 2005 and are known to be contemplating a coaching change -- potentially at the top of the list.
What has Jackson really intrigued, sources say, is the opportunity to oversee an organization in the patriarchal style of Pat Riley with the Miami Heat or in a role similar to that previously held by Larry Bird with the Indiana Pacers.
But it remains to be seen if a team will give him that sort of chance, given that the 67-year-old Jackson is the most successful coach in league history with 11 championship rings and has never held a prominent NBA personnel job.
There's always the chance, sources said, that Jackson will simply stay retired if none of the opportunities that arise prove to be the right fit.
But the presumption in league coaching circles is that teams with openings this offseason will naturally reach out to the most decorated coach available to see if there's any hope of persuading him to coach again, especially since it appears that the Lakers don't have a suitable role to offer Jackson at this time.
Although Jackson did speak with Lakers management about replacing Mike Brown in November before the club hired Mike D'Antoni instead, sources maintain that a return to Los Angeles is highly unlikely.
The Lakers' intent, sources insist, is bringing D'Antoni back next season to give him the chance to coach the team with a full training camp and a healthy roster. Pau Gasol and Steve Nash both missed more than 30 games this season, and Kobe Bryant suffered a season-ending Achilles tear this past weekend.
There would also appear to be little room for Jackson in the Lakers' front office, with vice president Jim Buss and longtime general manager Mitch Kupchak running the team.
Finances are another factor, since the Lakers would be paying top dollar for three coaches at once if they decided to replace D'Antoni after one season and turned to Jackson.
Jackson's engagement to Lakers executive vice president Jeanie Buss, sources say, is not believed to be a factor in determining Jackson's next stop.
While there is no known opportunity for Jackson to consider at present, that situation could change quickly with the end of the season looming for non-playoff teams, which will re-launch the league's annual coaching carousel.
Sources say that Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert, who already made that previous run at Jackson early in his Cavs tenure, is giving strong consideration to firing coach Byron Scott.
As for the Nets, ESPN.com reported in December that Jackson was the undisputed top target for owner Mikhail Prokhorov after the dismissal of Avery Johnson. The prospect of interim coach P.J. Carlesimo retaining the job has not been ruled out depending on how Brooklyn fares in the playoffs, according to sources. But coaching insiders continue to say that Prokhorov's well-known desire to make a splashy hire will keep Jackson and ESPN analyst Jeff Van Gundy at the forefront of his thinking.
Jackson also has been mentioned as a potential candidate to be involved with the new ownership group in Seattle in a front-office capacity that would include mentoring Brian Shaw to be the team's new head coach, provided that Chris Hansen and Steve Ballmer successfully complete the purchase of the Sacramento Kings.
The job security of Los Angeles Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro has likewise been questioned all season, with Del Negro in the final year of his contract.
But ESPN The Magazine's Chris Broussard reported in February that Clippers owner Donald Sterling has no interest in pursuing Jackson -- no matter how much that would theoretically bother the rival Lakers and their fans -- because Sterling has never gotten over verbal jabs Jackson threw at him while with the Lakers.
After a lengthy period out of the spotlight, Jackson has been increasingly visible in recent weeks, appearing at both Shaquille O'Neal's jersey retirement and a ceremony to honor the New York Knicks' 1972-73 championship team earlier this month.
Jackson also recently joined Twitter (@philjackson11) and will soon be releasing a new book, "11 Rings," with author Hugh Delahanty next month.
