A 'Timoun' Future
Group high five. FREEZE FRAME on group in mid-air. FADE OUT. ...Or rather, "the BOQs are being finalized and the last of the drawing set is being printed."
Either way you care to look at it, the design and documentation for Academie Timoun ("Children's Academy") with Haiti Partners has wrapped, concluding a decidedly very successful eight-month Office Fellowhship with BAR Architects. It's a great feeling to have the final drawings in your hands, and it's time to project the next steps.
"The set for Phase One is 47 sheets," reports Will Spurzem, the last member of the BAR professional daisy chain. "The bill of quantities ("BOQs") will be broken down into sections: 2 Story Building/Latrine Building/Site Features 1A/Site Features 1B/Lower Level interior options/Perimeter Walls. This will allow the contractor to create a price per building, per phase, as well as interior work on the lower levels.... All of this documentation will ultimately help the client and the Construction Manager to negotiate cost, phases, and contracts with more authority."
BAR's design is ambitious, but through the rigorous exercises of drafting the construction set and calculating the bill of quantities–and consultation with resident engineer Rick Ehlert throughout development–the project becomes realizable. Will discusses how they've achieved the balance of beauty and achievability:
"The actual shell is relatively simple to build with the right contractor and proper oversight. We have put in a lot of time researching and confirming the size of available materials and made the structure very modular."
The campus plan employs eight two-classroom modules-a very manageable unit size, in which to employ prudence. Here "the major issue of funding comes into play. We have done a master plan…which is quite large. Phasing will be a key issue."
From top: site visit with Jeremy and John Engle; site plan; materials precedents; erosion control mark-ups; Will and Thomas disagree during their handoff; foundation details
So what happens when you donate three weeks to working in an developing nation? Will shares some professional takeaways from Haiti. "Learning while you go is a very exciting process that requires a critical and careful approach to design," he explains. "It is easy to lose sight of the two major issues for clients, which are scope and complexity. The building could be wonderful but be too large or too complex to finish."
Will, BAR and Haiti Partners are all too aware of the financial considerations for building in Haiti, and have chosen a path whereupon funding and construction can happen simultaneously, if need be.
Meanwhile, the architects can hardly contain their excitement. "This has been a wonderful project and everyone is excited to see this work go out to bid as soon as possible/" Architecture for Humanity will take on the search for the right contractor over the next month; groundbreaking for the Academie Timoun is slated for Sunday, September 25.
We're learning from BAR as they learn from us. Catching up on 8 months of Design Fellowing is easy as BAR has maintained a blog of their progress and experiences for the duration of their time in Haiti. A full record of the Office Fellowship experience is just a Tumblr address away: http://bararchitects.tumblr.com/

absolutely loved it

I can not wait to get back in the fabulous hot tub !!!
Excellent, peaceful amazing couldn't have asked for a better location. Accomadation was great value.
What a lovely holiday we had. We had a Monday to Friday stay but did not arrive until the Tues evening. This wasn't a problem at all. The holiday home was great. 3 bedrooms, one double and two twin. Lovely fitted kitchen with all amenities. The views were incredible. In buttercup 6, we had the best view on the park being on the edge of a hill and seeing all the mountains in the background without any other lodges obstructing the view. The hot tub was beautiful during the night but probably too hot during the day because we had glorius weather. The area of Bala itself is pretty run down. We went to about 3 pubs/restaurants, none really nice enough to eat in. There is a supermarket for everything needed for the stay. Would definitely return.
great lodge and views lovely and clean hot tub lovely and relaxing great hoilday
Booked this for my partners 40th after previously stayed at a different lodge with hot tub which he really enjoyed. Very disappointed the hot tub cut out after 15mins no bubbles or anything. Spoke to staff regarding this was told that's how it works. It's a shame because the lodge and surrounding were beautiful. Wouldn't book again due to the hot tub not working.
excellent place, very clean. really good for kids to cycle around. really good
A lovely holiday lodge which was basic and comfy. Best feature was the hot tub, worst feature was the showers, of which there were 2 but could not be used together. There wasn't a lot within walking distance, and I was glad we had booked activities online before we visited. Overall a great holiday venue if you just want to relax, or to use as a base.
Love it here it has everything you need been here twice loved it going back at Christmas.
Great location, really enjoyed our stay.
Didn't think it was value for money,the lodges not as nice as I was led to believe,wasn't as nice as they look on the internet.
lovely place. Nice clean bright spacious interior. Lovely hot tub but overlooked, no privacy or garden area. Beautiful scenery. Very quiet. Would go back.
The lodge was for six people. Had we been six adults it would have been very cramped and there was only lounge seating for four. We were four adults, and in order to eat the table and chairs had to be moved. The lodge was ideal for a family with young children but having said that, I do not think the children would have been impressed with the size of the T.V. We had a lady who had impaired vision who was unable to see to the picture due to the size. The site was beautiful and well kept in a lovely area. The lodge was clean and the beds comfortable. Just think when booking this is like a twelve foot wide wooden static caravan, I would return but would go for a larger lodge, even for the four of us.
Was a lovely location, very peaceful, lovely settings, the staff were amazingly helpful and friendly.
I was disappointed in the lack of facilities within the town, nothing to do with the site in anyway shape or form.
I thought Bala had a little more going for it than it did. Perhaps in the swing of summer it might have.
But the property was amazing, the grounds were beautiful and the hot tub was just so relaxing.
Truly Lovely
A fabulous peaceful site set in beautiful Welsh countryside. It was everything we had hoped for.
The park is up steep country roads without pavements, but there weren't many cars around so we were still able to walk our dog morning and evening. During the day we were out and about, for which you will need a car, but that's just as we expected.
We will definitely visit again, especially as the hot tub was a treat in the quiet evenings!
Very pleased with our stay, our log cabin with hot tub was perfect, cabin was brand new the cleanliness of it all was outstanding! Recommend to all friends & family, Overall Perfect Holiday for My Partners Birthday.

PROFESSIONAL golfer Clive Nguru (Senior) expects to return to the field after spending two years on the sidelines of the game. Nguru, who has a golfing family which includes his son, top amateur Clive (Junior), and top junior player Eugene and upcoming Kudzai, is looking forward to return this coming season.
The former Falcon member said he is looking forward to the new season and he will take it seriously.
"I think I had the break, which lasted for almost two years and I am now ready to return to the field.
"I think I can still play competitively and it only needs some practice and commitment to make it to the top.
"I will start to go to the gym and I will be geared for the new season. I miss playing the game but I am coming back this year.
"If the Mashwede Diesel Open is going to be held at Falcon I will make sure that I will be part of the field. I will look for a new kit before the season begins and I will try and familiarise with it before the Zimbabwe Open," Nguru said.
Nguru is one of the veteran professionals who played along with the late Marko Chimusoro, Lewis Muridzo Chitengwa, Morgan Shumba and Jimmy Tawengwa, among several others. The veteran player was part of the competitive four-ball at Falcon that had Chimusoro, Vengesayi Phiri both late I-know Chisepo, Lovemore Chigumba, Masendeke.
Nguru has been off the greens after there were very few tournaments for professionals due to the tight economic situation.
He has managed to win several tournaments during his career and he believes he still has potential to make his presence felt on the Zambezi Tour.
Nguru will have to contend with some players like Brian Gondo who had a good season last year.
Several top professionals will be looking forward to make an impact especially in the prestigious Zimbabwe Open.

Looking bright: solar power passes 100 gigawatts worldwideJeremy Hance
February 12, 2013

"No one would have predicted even 10 years ago that we would see more than 100 GW of solar photovoltaic capacity in the world by 2012," Winfried Hoffman the President of the EPIA said.
Despite regulatory uncertainty, Europe remains the leader in solar. Last year it installed nearly 17 gigawatts, though down from almost 23 gigawatts in 2011. Outside of Europe, China installed 3.5 gigawatts, the U.S. 3.2 gigawatts, and Japan 2.5 gigawatts. Booming solar outside of Europe was cause for celebration.
"The photovoltaic industry clearly faces challenges but the results of 2012 show there is a strong global market for our technology," said Hoffman. "Even in tough economic times and despite growing regulatory uncertainty, we have nearly managed to repeat the record year of 2011."
Currently, Germany is the world leader in total installed solar energy, followed by Italy, China, the U.S., and Japan.

text: During the Cold War and the division of Berlin, the Friedrichstraße station, despite being located in East Berlin, was utilized by two intersecting West Berlin S-Bahn lines and the West Berlin subway line U6. The station served as a transfer point for these lines, and trains stopped there, although all of the other East Berlin stations on those lines (ghost stations - Geisterbahnhöfe) were closed, where trains passed through without stopping under the watchful eyes of armed guards. At Friedrichstraße station, West Berlin passengers could transfer from one platform to another (on the West Berlin lines) but could not cross into East Berlin without the appropriate papers. The section of the station open to West Berlin lines was heavily guarded and was sealed off from the smaller portion which served as a terminus of the East Berlin S-Bahn and as a station for long-distance trains. The station was often a point where families and loved ones were split, and the small transfer building next to it was given the dubious moniker the "Tränenpalast" ("Tear Palace").

- Eksperimental'nye dannye po srednemu cislu provzaimodejstvovavšich protonov v neuprugich i zentral'nych jadro-jadernych vzaimodejstvijach pri energij 3.6 GeV/nuklon (1986)
- Chemical equilibrium study in nucleus-nucleus collisions at relativistic energies (2004)
- We present a detailed study of chemical freeze-out in nucleus-nucleus collisions at beam energies of 11.6, 30, 40, 80 and 158A GeV. By analyzing hadronic multiplicities within the statistical hadronization approach, we have studied the strangeness production as a function of centre of mass energy and of the parameters of the source. We have tested and compared different versions of the statistical model, with special emphasis on possible explanations of the observed strangeness hadronic phase space under-saturation. We show that, in this energy range, the use of hadron yields at midrapidity instead of in full phase space artificially enhances strangeness production and could lead to incorrect conclusions as far as the occurrence of full chemical equilibrium is concerned. In addition to the basic model with an extra strange quark non-equilibrium parameter, we have tested three more schemes: a two-component model superimposing hadrons coming out of single nucleon-nucleon interactions to those emerging from large fireballs at equilibrium, a model with local strangeness neutrality and a model with strange and light quark non-equilibrium parameters. The behaviour of the source parameters as a function of colliding system and collision energy is studied. The description of strangeness production entails a non-monotonic energy dependence of strangeness saturation parameter gamma_S with a maximum around 30A GeV. We also present predictions of the production rates of still unmeasured hadrons including the newly discovered Theta^+(1540) pentaquark baryon.
- On chemical equilibrium in nuclear collisions (1997)
- The data on average hadron multiplicities in central A+A collisions measured at CERN SPS are analysed with the ideal hadron gas model. It is shown that the full chemical equilibrium version of the model fails to describe the experimental results. The agreement of the data with the off-equilibrium version allowing for partial strangeness saturation is significantly better. The freeze-out temperature of about 180 MeV seems to be independent of the system size (from S+S to Pb+Pb) and in agreement with that extracted in e+e-, pp and p{\bar p} collisions. The strangeness suppression is discussed at both hadron and valence quark level. It is found that the hadronic strangeness saturation factor gamma_S increases from about 0.45 for pp interactions to about 0.7 for central A+A collisions with no significant change from S+S to Pb+Pb collisions. The quark strangeness suppression factor lambda_S is found to be about 0.2 for elementary collisions and about 0.4 for heavy ion collisions independently of collision energy and type of colliding system
- Energy and system size dependence of chemical freeze-out in relativistic nuclear collisions (2005)
- We present a detailed study of chemical freeze-out in p-p, C-C, Si-Si and Pb-Pb collisions at beam momenta of 158A GeV as well as Pb-Pb collisions at beam momenta of 20A, 30A, 40A and 80A GeV. By analyzing hadronic multiplicities within the statistical hadronization model, we have studied the parameters of the source as a function of the number of the participating nucleons and the beam energy. We observe a nice smooth behaviour of temperature, baryon chemical potential and strangeness under-saturation parameter as a function of energy and nucleus size. Interpolating formulas are provided which allow to predict the chemical freeze-out parameters in central collisions at centre-of-mass energies > 4.5 GeV and for any colliding ions. Specific discrepancies between data and model emerge in particle ratios in Pb-Pb collisions at SPS between 20A and 40A GeV of beam energy which cannot be accounted for in the considered model schemes.
- Particle number fluctuations in canonical ensemble (2004)
- Fluctuations of charged particle number are studied in the canonical ensemble. In the infinite volume limit the fluctuations in the canonical ensemble are different from the fluctuations in the grand canonical one. Thus, the well-known equivalence of both ensembles for the average quantities does not extend for the fluctuations. In view of a possible relevance of the results for the analysis of fluctuations in nuclear collisions at high energies, a role of the limited kinematical acceptance is studied.
- Omega, J/psi and psi' transverse mass spectra at RHIC (2002)
- The transverse mass spectra of J/psi and psi' mesons and Omega hyperons produced in central Au+Au collisions at RHIC energies are discussed within a statistical model used successfully for the interpretation of the SPS results. The comparison of the presented model with the future RHIC data should serve as a further crucial test of the hypothesis of statistical production of charmonia at hadronization. Finally, in case of validity, the approach should allow to estimate the mean transverse flow velocity at the quark gluon plasma hadronization.
- Transverse momentum spectra of J/psi and psi prime mesons from quark gluon plasma hadronization in nuclear collisions (2001)
- Recent results on transverse mass spectra of J/psi and psi prime mesons in central Pb+Pb collisions at 158 AGeV are considered. It is shown that those results support a hypothesis of statistical production of charmonia at hadronization and suggest the early thermal freeze-out of J/psi and psi prime mesons. Based on this approach the collective transverse velocity of hadronizing quark gluon plasma is estimated to be <v^H_T> \approx 0.2. Predictions for transverse mass spectra of hidden and open charm mesons at SPS and RHIC are discussed.
- Hadron spectra and QGP hadronization in Au + Au collisions at RHIC (2002)
- The transverse mass spectra of Omega hyperons and phi mesons measured recently by STAR Collaboration in Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 130 GeV are described within a hydrodynamic model of the quark gluon plasma expansion and hadronization. The flow parameters at the plasma hadronization extracted by fitting these data are used to predict the transverse mass spectra of J/psi and psi' mesons.
- Pion and strangeness puzzles (1996)
- The dependence of pion and strangeness production on the number of participant nucleons and collision energy is discussed for central A+A collisions. A possible interpretation of the experimental results assuming transition to QGP is sketched within a simple statistical approach.
- Observation of deconfinement phase transition in nucleus-nucleus collisions (2004)
- The main results obtained within the energy scan program at the CERN SPS are presented. The anomalies in energy dependence of hadron production indicate that the onset of deconfinement phase transition is located at about 30 A GeV. For the first time we seem to have clear evidence for the existence of a deconfined state of matter in nature. PACS numbers: 24.85.+p

TODAY the Staffordshire Newsletter went back to School at Flash Ley Primary School, Hawksmoor Road, Stafford.
Anna Haycock and Tim Rumbelow from the Newsletter were invited by the school to talk to 7-8-year-olds about news and advertising. As part of project the pupils have now started designing their own adverts for the school's summer fair in July.
Take a look at the slideshow above for a few examples of their adverts designs.

This cuckoo clock is one of our most popular models. The leaves and birds are hand-carved from solid linden wood. When the clock strikes the hour or half-hour the door opens, a cuckoo appears and calls along with the clocks gong strike. At the same time, the two birds below move to feed the baby chicks in the nest.
This clock is hand made in the Black Forest in Germany by Rombach and Haas. The mechanical brass movement is driven by two weights and time escapes with the tick of a traditional pendulum. The cuckoo call sound is made by two wooden whistles with bellows inside the clock case. Watch the video to see the cuckoo clocks actions.

It's hard to decide what seems more unlikely: Woody Allen playing a pimp, or Woody Allen starring in someone else's film.
Believe it or not, in "Fading Gigolo," the legendary Jewish director does both. John Turturro wrote and directed the film, in which Allen plays a bookseller who picks up some work pimping out Turturro's character. Clients include Sharon Stone and Sofia Vergara, two women looking for a threesome.
That seemed juicy enough until we saw the third client featured prominently in the trailer, who appears to be… Hasidic. Thanks to Tablet for confirming that the movie does, in fact, have "A Stranger Among Us" meets "Hung" thing going on.

Today's advertisement in The Australian, which was funded by most of the marine industry, is the first attack on the Government's new bio-marine regional parks that take up 3.1 million square kilometres of sea around Australia, Nationals Senator Ron Boswell said today.
Marine Park Zones
'Along with the advertisement in The Australian, the Australian Recreational Fishing Foundation is also running a series of ads headed 'Don't Lock Us Out', which are now running in fishing magazines all around Australia, and will soon run in the mainstream media.
'The fishing and marine industries have no other recourse but to take the fight to the Government by engaging in a costly and drawn out campaign. The 3.1 million square kilometre marine reserves are the largest in the world and make up 70 percent of the world's total marine parks. They have locked out countless recreational and commercial fishermen, not to mention charter fishermen, who have been denied access to fishing in these 'Green Zones' with their customers.
'So it has come to this: where these groups are so incensed that they are willing to put up their own money to fight the marine park plans. Minister for the Environment Tony Burke asked a rhetorical question after the marine park maps were finalised: 'Should the final declaration be made?'
'If he has any political sense, he will drop these plans like a hot potato. There are 5 million blue-collar recreational fishermen who are all against this idea. There are bait and tackle shops, marine dealers, and outboard motor shops – all of these shops will be used as campaign headquarters that will distribute material against the lockout.
'This will be an Australia-wide campaign by all sections of the marine industry who are sick of international green lobby groups like PEW coming to Australia and shutting down their industry.
'And in a ridiculous twist, 'Sea Shepherd', a group legally classified as pirates, have offered to patrol this area to make sure this farce is enforced. There is so much uncertainty in the fishing and marine industry already. It doesn't need this, yet the Government is still refusing to provide certainty. It promises an inadequate amount of compensation in the form of 100 million dollars to the fishing industry, but doesn't say which sections of that industry
will be eligible.
'The Government has to spell out once and for all if it intends to compensate fishing tackle shops, charter fishing operators, marine dealers, the outboard motor industry, and any other associated marine industries for the loss of
business that will result from the lockout of both commercial and recreational fishers. It needs to set a reasonable sum, not the one it has in mind.
'Also, given the fact there is no scientific basis for the closures, it needs to provide evidence – and not just slogans – as to why these parks should exist. It hasn't done this, nor will it ever, as there is no evidence to support the closures.
'When I tried to have this matter referred to the Committee for Rural and Regional Affairs, my motion was voted down in the Senate. This just goes to show how determined the Government is to keep the fishing and marine
industry in the dark.
'Tony Burke is about to reap the whirlwind. He is severely mistaken if he thinks ads like the one in The Australian today are a one-off, and that the problem will go away. The fishing and marine industry is fed up, and are just
gearing up for a major fight.'

When I was a kid we would watch reruns of Happy Days. There really isn't much that I remember about the show with the exception of the Fonz's power to fix things with a simple nudge, pound or smack. I've tried this method myself. The dishwasher isn't working; I kick it. The car doesn't sound right; I smack it on the hood. If I don't look good in the mirror, I punch it…that one hardly ever works.
In ministry I'm sure there is a whole slew of things that we wish we could just smack, punch and kick (I'm not talking about the teens) and have it start working. If our systems and structures aren't running smoothly then ministry just becomes a game of survival. We need people to show up on time, equipment to run, meetings to end and communication to flow; but, if that's not happening then neither is our ministry. So, we look for a quick fix; but, quick isn't what we always need. Instead we need to take a simple; yet, thorough approach. And, that starts with:
The 10,000 Foot View – Sometimes we just need to take a step back and look at the whole picture. When fire fighters approach a burning building, first thing they are told is to take a step back and analyze the entire situation. Where is the source of the problem? Where are the trouble areas? What's my best approach? Answer those questions then proceed.
Partnering Up – The tendency is to figure a problem out on our own; however, with only one set of eyes we're bound to miss something. Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 tells us:  Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor:  If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. If you really want the best outcome to a situation make sure you partner up.
Setting A Timeline – While it's great to take our time and really analyze a problem, if we wait too long we could discover new consequences from inactivity. If I have a leaking roof and wait on it too long, it could create more damage if I don't address it right away. Just as we set a timeline for our goals, we should do the same with issues we need to address. Don't be afraid to lean in, because God is right there with you.
Reviewing And Revisiting – If you figure out a problem on the first go, that's awesome; however, it is always wise to check twice. If you are addressing a student's behavior, follow up and see how they are doing. If you are trying a new format, review it with your team after a few weeks. If you've cut a program or event, get feedback from people you trust.
Yes, it would be easier to just smack the problem around and have it start working; however, it's not that easy. The steps to addressing a problem are simple; however, they take work. The most important thing we can do is to rely on God to guide us through these situations and give us the persistence and wisdom we need to fix a situation properly.
Have I missed anything?Ă'Â What steps would you add to address an issue or problem?

Scouting Report
Jonah Ballow
Knicks @ Bulls 9:30 PM
Where to Watch: MSG
Where to Listen: ESPN 1050 AM
Big Picture
New York: Interim head coach Mike Woodson continues to work his magic as the Knicks have transformed into a defensive minded squad. Over its last 10 games, New York is 7-3 and might have just captured it s most important win of the season on Sunday afternoon. After Philadelphia suffered a massive defeat to the Celtics, the Knicks moved up to No. 7 in the Eastern Conference standings as they hold the tiebreaker advantage at this point. Milwaukee was also dropped on Monday night, which gives New York a 1.5 game lead ahead of the chasing Bucks. On the injury front, Jared Jeffries returned to the lineup in Sunday's win and received 11 minutes of court time. Jeremy Lin spoke to reporters prior to the contest against the Bulls and he is cautiously optimistic about a return while targeting the second round of the playoffs if the Knicks advance. Amar'e Stoudemire spent some time on the court on Sunday prior to the game but he remains sidelined with a bulging disc in his lower back.
Chicago: Despite the loss on Sunday, the Bulls hold the top spot in the Eastern Conference with a 43-14 overall record. Derrick Rose returned to the lineup against the Knicks and showed some rust before he exploded for 18 of his team-high 29 points in the second half. Interesting enough, Chicago was 8-4 prior to Rose's debut at the Garden. The Bulls own a two-game lead on the Heat with a schedule that will certainly finalize the playoff matchups in late April. With contests against New York, Miami, and the Heat again next Thursday, Chicago is searching for chemistry, momentum, and the top seed.
Last Time Out
New York: Behind Anthony's season-high 43 points, the Knicks snatched a much-needed 100-99 overtime win over the Bulls at Madison Square Garden.
Chicago: Uncharacteristically, the Bulls committed 20 turnovers in the 100-99 overtime loss to the Knicks on Sunday afternoon.
The Numbers Game
New York held the reigning MVP to just 8-of-26 shooting from the floor and eight turnovers in its home win.
Match-up to Watch
Knicks Backcourt vs. Derrick Rose
This exact matchup was highlighted in Sunday's scouting report. New York's backcourt did an incredible job on Rose early in the game and down the stretch. Iman Shumpert forced Rose into a difficult step-back jumper at the end of regulation. The Knicks versatile rookie then helped to force Rose to his left while Landry Fields and Tyson Chandler contested an errant floater that bounced off the back iron to conclude overtime. One can assume Rose was consumed with the defeat in his first game back from the groin injury. Shumpert, Fields, and J.R. Smith must frustrate the 2010-11 MVP and limit his productivity in order to post back-to-back victories over the Bulls.
What to Look For
Expect a raucous United Center crowd and a playoff type atmosphere for this unique rematch on Tuesday night. With postseason positioning changing every day, this specific contest could determine the spots for both teams while providing a preview of a first round series. Examining the box score from Sunday, free throw shooting will once again be a major factor. The Bulls had an opportunity to shut the door on the Knicks but four failed attempts at the charity stripe from Luol Deng and Rose ultimately led to their defeat. New York must find a way to even the rebounding numbers after losing the battle 59-47 on Sunday. Also, watch how Tom Thibodeau elects to defend Anthony, considering the All-Star lit up multiple Chicago defenders, including Carlos Boozer, Taj Gibson, and Deng. Anthony might need another out of this world performance to topple the East's top team.

From: Sonoma County, Calif.
Price: $18
Serve with: Barbecued ribs, spicy pasta
Not for the faint of palate, this well-made Gallo product is a big red wine with a heady alcohol level but even more fruit. It boasts lush, ripe flavors of blackberry, wild berries and chocolate — kind of like a vintage port without the sweetness. It's a real mouthful that stacks up well against more exalted names.

By eyeing operations from new perspective, Scripps Health has saved $141M in 2 years
Pharmacy: A new organizational structure aimed at cutting drug variation and waste saved $14 million from 2010 to 2012. Investments in new technology are expected to yield an additional $6 million savings over next four years.
Contracting: Renegotiated CT scan, vitamin D test and elevator service contracts save $1.9 million per year. Changes to transcription contract saved $2.2 million in 2012. Standardization of blood bank contracts expected to save $2.2 million over three years.
Cardiac surgery: New initiative reduces average patient stay by 0.8 days, saving $3.3 million per year.
Sterilization: Cardiac labs now reprocessing single-use medical devices, achieving $346,000 in annual savings and keeping more than 6,000 pounds of waste out of landfills since March 2010.
Emergency department: Saved $29 million since 2010 by reorganizing emergency work flow at all hospitals to emphasize quick triage of incoming patients.
Purchasing: Saved $26 million since 2010 by reducing the costs of hundreds of medical items. Ongoing efforts to streamline Scripps' purchasing practices, started in 2012, are expected to save an additional $26 million over three years.
Supply savings: Purchased reusable, instead of disposable, inflatable mats for moving patients in bed, saving $1 million in fiscal 2013 and an anticipated $2.2 million in 2014. Operating an internal catering service and buying, rather than renting, patient ventilators, saves $545,000 annually.
Clinical lab: Consolidated two labs into one centralized facility that serves all Scripps properties. Automated processing using bar coding and conveyor belts, combined with standardized lab practices and a streamlined information technology system expected to save $6 million annually.
Temporary staffing: Instituted Scripps System Resource Services, a registry service with more than 400 nurses, pharmacists, information service and environmental service technicians participating. System has decreased temporary labor costs by $20 million per year.

Finding efficiency at Scripps Health has become a matter of looking at the problem from a different angle.
Chris Van Gorder, the local health giant's chief executive officer, said looking at the way things work from a horizontal, rather than vertical, perspective has made all the difference in his organization's ability to identify $141 million in savings over the last two years.
"We thought, what would it look like if we cut our company in half horizontally and took a look at variation?" Van Gorder said.
In the past, Scripps had been a collection of vertical "silos" centered on each of its acute care hospitals, he said. Many things, from supplies used to procedures employed, were different at each hospital. That variation, Van Gorder said, caused inefficiency.
"They were all independent hospitals at one time that, over a period of time, came together as one system, but in many cases they never merged their independent practices," Van Gorder said.
Scripps identified a few vice presidents who were assigned to specific hospitals and gave them a new mission: Look at services across all five of Scripps' acute care hospitals. Compare and contrast the different ways that, say, cardiac surgery is handled at each facility to determine if there are ways that standardization and eliminating overlap could save money without eroding quality.

People-pleasers can effectively change their self-defeating behavior once they begin to view themselves as separate from others, sharing equal standing in the kingdom of God with everyone else. Each individual person bears the image of the Creator Himself.
Everyone enters the kingdom "by grace ... through faith" (Eph. 2:8). Grace is "the unmerited favor of God," and we don't receive it by our "works" or good deeds (v. 9).
We all enter God's kingdom through the same gate: Jesus Christ. None of us is good enough to enter on our own merits. Our real value depends solely on our potential in Christ.
You and I have every reason to accept ourselves once we are convinced that we are children of God and that we are loved, forgiven and accepted by Him. When we are self-accepting, we don't have to seek the approval and acceptance of others to confirm our personhood.
As pleasers accept the truth of their value in Christ and learn to budget their time according to their priorities and limits, they will soon feel positive new feelings about themselves. Their old behavior of looking to others for affirmation will fall away, and they will find themselves seeking out God rather than people for the satisfaction that only He can provide.

People throw around the word "genius" way too much.
Truth is, few really are.
With that said, consider the person who said this:
"Let's see, we need to cast the star of Breaking Bad,
a man who's dying of cancer and makes meth…
let's hire the actor who played
the dad on Malcolm In The MIddle."
Now that's genius.
Almost a year and people seriously haven't corrected the misspell in the second line? Byran is one hell of a guy though.

What is SEO; Beginners and Newbie's Guide
"All I know is (that) I know nothing"
We'll pick up on that later…
I can easily spend an entire article explaining in detail the meaning and the value of Search Engine Marketing in today's world; its practices, its purpose, approaches, tactics; all regardless of the fact that I'm an apprentice and an admirer of the industry itself. I can be completely ignorant on the subject, and teach you everything you might think there is to know about SEO. How? Well Google of course! …And yes, I can't deny it, Wikipedia as well; but the truth is, at this specific moment in time, I can't really give you complete thorough answers or explanations to either the market nor the practice of SEO. I believe no one really can. Not even the "experts" themselves.
Search Engine Marketing is a necessity not only to businesses but also to the World Wide Web as a whole. Good SEO makes for a well established, well crafted, organized, informative, useful, and reliable web site; am I right? However, to understand SEO, one must also understand and see SEO as an ever-changing and ever-growing set of elements. What worked and benefited a web site a year ago, may no longer have the same effect today.
The first day I stepped into the office, I walked in with much confidence… I had read a few articles online, got a book and researched certain things about SEO. I figured "let's impress my new co-workers". Well, it most definitely did not go the way I had foreseen;, on the contrary, turns out I knew nothing! … Literally Nothing. I spent the next three weeks learning the basics, the way we work, the way we practice SEO. I was the Newbie and I AM the newbie, I will forever be…regardless of how much expertise I may gather as we speak and in the future.
SEO is ever changing and ever growing, so my best advice to all of you learning about Search Engine Marketing for the first time and wish to be a part of it is: Come to terms with reality. I don't care how much of a tech wiz you think you are. To really keep up with the world of SEO, you need to know that what's important is not necessarily what you already know, but what you will learn along the way. You will never stop learning; now put that concept on steroids.
After you've come to terms with your ignorance, it is obvious that your brain needs to be filled with something. Yes, terms and acronyms like PPC, SEM, AdWords, WordPress, Volusion, will become part of your daily life, but fear not; like everything in life, it is just a matter of learning and practice. There is a practicality as there are approaches when it comes to good SEO. First and foremost, no client and no web site is the same. Much like no two people are perfectly alike, Web Sites have "personalities" of their own. The difference comes in pre planning, designing, executing, and implementing content. Most importantly, just how is it done?
Detail is a key, so from the first couple of things you will learn to larger research projects, you will see that every little detail matters in SEO. In no time, you will be implementing, syndicating, even writing content; researching, doing all sorts of stuff, with almost a robot-like precision! Now, that is a problem. The moment you start to use repetition to your benefit of getting more work done, it is the same moment that you start to lose track of the big picture. As to why you're doing what you're doing, what are the end results? What's expected? What is your purpose as an SEO newbie? The commanders delegate, yes, but at the end of it all, it is the privates that do the dirty work, that do the fighting…without speculation, planning, and delegation, there cannot be victory in any business or situation. However, the execution is what makes it all happen, and that is where I come in, where all of you fellow newbie's may be coming in.
It is important to understand that what makes an SEO expert an expert, is not only his/her experience in the industry alone, but also the capacity to adapt and own the on-going changes and progress the internet industry undergoes on a daily basis. This capacity needs to be engrained into each and every one of us and every aspect of our work in order for successful practice of Search Engine Optimization.
So what is SEO? And this question isn't directed to any of you experts… but the opposite side of the ladder. It is a service that is high in demand, an industry that is barely in its adolescence, I wouldn't go as far as saying it's a life style, but it most definitely changes the way you live your life; taking into consideration that we spend most of our day on the internet. Gear up newbie; prepare your brain, ideas, and expectations, because all are a necessary part of successful SEO. You will be overwhelmed …no doubt about that, … information is more likely to be pouring out your ears, and the notes you took yesterday might just be useless today. That is the world of SEO, and that is why only about 10,000 out of the 300,000,000 (That's roughly 0.003%) people living in this country can truly say they understand and practice this form of art.
Now we can relate to Socrates, can't we all? One may even find Socrates as one of the first SEO experts in this world. He optimized minds, the search engine wasn't Google but human curiosity, and the backlinks were inspiration and that same curiosity for knowledge and wonder that inspired the rest of humanity into progress. Rest assured, even Socrates (though he might have not found himself frustrated in front of a computer screen) must have definitely reached a point of feeling overwhelmed by the infinite opportunities, endless amounts of information and possibility that which the human mind is capable of producing, retaining, and spreading. So next time you find yourself doing research, implementing content, even doing simple implementations, know that you're feeding the root of knowledge of the 21st century. You're not only benefitting your client's pocket but the Internet in its entirety, in turn, the biggest encyclopedia and database humanity has ever seen. You're now a part of it.

Robotboy MK 1 (97-99)
Formed in June of 1997, the Mechanical Walking Robotboy began as a reaction against everything that was currently popular.
Fed up with the testosterone fueled musical wasteland that was the '90s, founding members Chris Smart (vocals/guitar), John Aselin (guitar/vocals/keys), Jeff Price (bass/vocals) and Matt Medellín (drums), weren't exactly sure what they wanted but they definitely knew what they didn't want. No long hair, no screaming, no distortion guitar, no fast songs and no jeans and t-shirts…in essence "no '90s".
With the recent demise of their former groups, Thirteen, the Intentions, Jet Jaguar and the Maplehelm respectively, the foursome began searching for something more musically adventurous. Borrowing from the past: early Pink Floyd and the Velvet Underground; and the present: Portishead and Suede, the Robots searched for new ways to use the traditional rock and roll format.
Instead of heavy grunge guitar hooks Aselin and Smart built sonic collages using guitars through multiple delays, flanges and effects as well as manipulating pre-taped found sounds, transistor radios and an old Korg synthesizer.
Medellín and Price swapped the bombastic rhythm noise of the "Seattle" set for simple clean beats and melodic bass lines, at times deferring to the feeble bleep of an antiquated Univox drum machine for the main pulse of a song.
Smart's vocals, sometimes with two and three part harmonies, sat high in the mix weaving twisted tales of circus freaks, space accidents and test tube babies.
The Robots live debut that Thanksgiving night mixed their musical fog with a visual barrage of blurry black and white film loops, slide machines, and strobe lights with the group smartly attired in classic '60s suits. Not surprising, the crowd of emo-kids, Green Dayers and Nirvana-wannabes were confused. Mission accomplished!
Over the next few years, while regularly spreading their word across Texas, Robotboy began recording at home, experimenting with a borrowed computer and all the weird equipment they could purloin.
Playing drums through a distortion pedal, hitting guitars with screw drivers, playing solos with a transistor radio, nothing was considered too "out there".
With the addition of ex-Lowdown Son guitarist Erik Sanden on Wurlitzer piano and electric Autoharp, the sound possibilities were limitless.
Preferring underground warehouse gigs and art openings to "rock" clubs, the group added a bit more "performance" to their shows, sometimes incorporating a sitar player and belly dancers. On other occasions Sanden might break into his infamous interpretive dance or the group might turn up dressed in drag. Every show was turned into an event.
As "grunge" died and the '90s drew to a close, the audience, though still confused, was finally opening up to Robotboy.
