The Nottinghamshire Strategy for the 2012 Games Introduction Our ambition is to use the 2012 Games to engage a new generation in sport, in culture and learning. We hope to welcome teams and visitors from across the world to our county to train in some of the best facilities the county has to offer. Our businesses will have the opportunity to tender for and win contracts to supply a range of goods and services. We will use the Games to inspire a step change in the health and wellbeing of our county using an innovative programme of initiatives. Nottinghamshire has an important role in contributing to the objectives and the outcomes of the Regional 2012 Strategy, co-ordinated by emda. This county Strategy will identify areas of focus that contribute to the Regional Strategy and also areas of focus that are specific to Nottinghamshire and will deliver outcomes for our communities. We hope that Nottinghamshire will rise to the challenge of staging an inspirational and inclusive programme of events and activities as part of the UK"s Cultural Olympiad. The Games offers us the chance to develop and enhance opportunities for our county and its people. This Strategy will form the basis of action plans that will describe how we in Nottinghamshire will not only help London stage the best Games ever, but also leave a lasting legacy for our county. These action plans will highlight the synergies of our themes and require partners from across the county to come together to make these ambitions a reality. It"s important to remember that there is a great deal of connectivity between themes and a real legacy from the Games will be the enduring partnerships that we build in the delivery of this strategy. There are a number of "embedded" themes that we will ask each area to consider – these are skills, volunteering and events. Nottinghamshire 2012 Steering Group believes that every individual in Nottinghamshire has the right to access a high quality sporting experience. To achieve this, we will work to reduce any barrier that restricts individuals exercising this right and from benefitting from the legacy of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Sport Objectives 1 Encouraging more people to take part in sport in Nottinghamshire 2 Establishing clear and sustainable pathways for talented sportspeople to develop to their full potential 3 To provide support for talented athletes and coaches Sport Nottinghamshire, on behalf of the County Sports Partnership will be leading on the sport theme and driving the Community Sport aspect. Sport England will represent the Performance Sport element on the County Steering Group. These objectives are all closely linked and will involve a wide range of partners across the county including local authorities, school sports partnerships, sports clubs, governing bodies of sport, universities and private sector operators. Community Sport The 2012 Games provides an exciting opportunity to inspire people to participate in sport. At present only 20.75% of people in the Nottinghamshire take part in at least 3 x 30 minutes moderate intensity exercise each week, with wide variation in the levels of sporting activity between the highest and lowest areas. We will be using evidence gathered from our Active People survey and market segmentation work to develop and test new ways of increasing the levels of sporting activity across the county and encouraging local authorities to include targets for sports participation in Local Area Agreements. Sporting potential We want to make sure that all young people inspired by the prospect of 2012 have opportunities to discover and develop their sporting potential. To do this we need to ensure that clear pathways are in place to bring together funding, facilities, coaching and other support. Sports clubs and volunteers are also essential to the achievement of this ambition. The work of Groups such as the National Governing Bodies of Sport Forum, Club and Volunteer Development Group and the Coaching Development Group are all working in this area and we will ensure this work is aligned with our ambitions for the Children & Young People theme. Support for Talent Many world class athletes and coaches are currently benefiting from facilities and services (medical, sports science, coaching and sports technology) in Nottinghamshire. We need to ensure our structures continue to develop to support elite athletes, sportspeople and coaches living, working and training in Nottinghamshire. Action Points 1 Developing new and innovative ways to inspire people to take part in sport on a regular and sustained basis 2 Maximising the opportunities to develop and influence the provision of facilities through the Building Schools for the Future programme and other investment opportunities that meet the needs of local communities and support the development of world class performers 3 Ensuring the links between schools, colleges and universities and local community sport are strengthened 4 Create a programme of high profile sporting events which inspires people as both spectators and participants 5 Making sure sport is an entitlement for all young people in Nottinghamshire and ensuring that young people have the opportunity to gain inspiration from elite performers who are based in the county 6 The development of a network of strong sports clubs with quality coaches and volunteers who work together to provide clear pathways for talented performers to succeed 7 Encourage local funding programmes and commercial support that provides financial assistance to athletes and coaches to help them on their way to achieving their potential 8 Promotion of the county as a venue for Pre Games Training and Holding Camps, working closely with partners such as Loughborough University. We are already rising to the challenge of creating a lasting legacy of increased participation and developing excellence in sport across Nottinghamshire, a range of partners are picking up the baton by including sport targets in Local Area Agreements and through developing imaginative and enterprising programmes to build a lasting legacy for sport. 4,500 people took part in events surrounding the FA Women"s Cup in Nottingham in 2007 and a crowd of 24,000 watched the game. The Great Notts Bike Ride and the Experian Robin Hood Festival of Running attract and involve thousands of local participants. Other established events like the Nottingham Open Tennis also offer many people the opportunity to take part in development programmes as well as attracting large numbers of spectators and this concept will form the basis of a new events strategy for the county. Currently, around £1m has been allocated to 17 sports to make sure player pathways are developing in Nottinghamshire and local initiatives to raise funds to support talented athletes are being established. Business Objectives 1 Raising awareness of the business opportunities related to the development and delivery of the Games 2 Ensuring businesses have access to support to enable them to bid for 2012 contracts and are aware of the services available to them including public sector procurement skills 3 Using the 2012 Games to build international business relations emda has led much of the thinking around delivering benefits to businesses across the UK by the work it has carried out on the Business Opportunities Network concept. Their recent focus has been on working with the London Development Agency to deliver the nationwide "CompeteFor" portal. This will provide unprecedented access to London 2012 supply chain opportunities for small and medium- sized enterprises. The Olympic Delivery Authority will advertise all opportunities on the website and will oblige its Tier 1 buyers to do the same. There is also a flow-down contractual requirement for Tier 2 and below buyers to use the site for available opportunities within their supply chain. Around 5,000 contracts per year are targeted to flow through the "CompeteFor" system. London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games contracts will follow in due course. "CompeteFor" will also signpost businesses towards local business support services available via East Midlands Business (the region"s Business Link provider) in order to increase capability and expertise. It will also link with Supply2.gov.uk the portal for lower value public sector contract opportunities. The system also facilitates joint bidding for contracts by businesses in different areas of the UK and gives feedback to unsuccessful applicants. emda will also be able to access data on the demographics of businesses applying for and winning supply chain contracts in order to share best practice. We will seek to better understand the detrimental effects of poor health on business and work with employers to improve the health of the county"s workforce. Healthy workforce initiatives will be encouraged to promote health and wellbeing at work and at home. Action Points 1 Circulate all businesses with information required to access bidding process for tenders, either directly or as part of the supply chain 2 Signpost businesses to emda"s Web portal for regional and national information 3 Encourage and support organisations run by women, people with disabilities and from BME communities to bid for tenders 4 Provide support to help local businesses be competitive 5 Identify recruitment and skills gaps that exist 6 Explore opportunities with China 7 Encourage business sponsorship of talented Nottinghamshire athletes 8 Encourage businesses to adopt Healthy Workplace Initiatives and link to the Shape Up Notts! campaign Visitor Economy Objectives 1 Develop the county"s tourism offer by building closer links with sporting and cultural events 2 Exploit the 2012 "platform" to grow visitor numbers to the county before, during and after the Games, securing a wider Nottinghamshire visitor audience as a lasting legacy 3 Supporting the visitor industry to raise product and service quality standards via the "Quality Improvement Programme" and a commitment to skills development within the sector Work on the visitor economy theme is led by Experience Nottinghamshire, their objective is to attract new and repeat visitors to the region, improve product and service quality and encourage new investment. Action Points 1 Promote existing and new events and festivals, linked to the Cultural Olympiad 2 "Destination Welcoming" specifically designed to cater for athletes and related visitors at Pre Games Training and Holding Camps and for international spectators, potentially either using the county as a base during the Games or extending their stay 3 Complementary marketing programmes that are closely linked to the national and regional strategy 4 Development of an Events Bidding mechanism and link to Event Welcoming 5 Support for training venues to ensure they can offer a comprehensive visitor welcome to Games related guests 6 Welcome information/promotional packs for National Olympic Committees, athletes and other Games related guests The promotion of Nottinghamshire as a base just an hour away from the Games is dependent upon improved rail links and there is a strong advocacy role here for all partners to play. There is a further need to capitalise on any sporting and cultural developments planned for the county. Experience Nottinghamshire will seek to increase visitor numbers to the county from non-core markets post 2012 via targeted marketing to take advantage of the raised profile of the UK that comes with staging the Games. Culture Objectives 1 Celebrating our aspirations, our cultural diversity and our creative industries through our contribution to the UK Cultural Olympiad, autumn 2008 – autumn 2012 2 Supporting communities to develop and deliver their own cultural activities, events and to enhance their skills as participants and volunteers 3 Promoting the county"s rich cultural heritage for the benefit of the county and for attracting increased visitors 4 Maximise the number of people who are engaged in the Cultural Olympiad and are able to feel "part of the Games" Consultation The regional consultation revealed a broad based support for the proposed themes and values of the UK Cultural Olympiad. It also revealed an enthusiasm for the activities proposed in the 2012 bid, including the ceremonies, the ten key projects and the UK Cultural Festival. (For more information see www.london2012.com/plans/culture.) The consultation also gave strong support for the role of local authorities in supporting community engagement and empowerment; for the need to complement local approaches; for maximising the potential of cultural resources in engaging communities; for showcasing places and spaces in the region to build the region"s visitor destination potential; for engaging in the challenges of fund-raising from the public and private sectors; and for the need for some overarching big ideas that were unique to the East Midlands. Appointment of Regional Programmer for the Cultural Olympiad Working with London 2012, Creative Programmers have been recruited. The Creative Programmer for the East Midlands, working through Culture East Midlands, will work closely with emda, the regional cultural agencies and with local authorities. He will act as a central point of communication and planning for the Cultural Olympiad, brokering partnerships between agencies, potential sponsors, producers and individuals in producing a programme of events and activities over the four years, with sustainable legacies in the years beyond. Structures The Cultural Olympiad Creative Programmer reports to the Board of Culture East Midlands. He is part of the overall 2012 East Midlands Delivery Group, in order to ensure the best possible links to all aspects of 2012 delivery in the region, from business procurement and tourism, to skills and volunteering. However, an additional stakeholder group has been established to advise on priorities and on the delivery plan for regional aspects of the Olympiad. These structures will be supplemented by occasional more open meetings for the cultural sector as a whole to engage in discussions about the programme. National Contexts The Creative Programmer will work closely with the London 2012 Culture, Ceremonies and Education Team, acting as a broker and adviser on behalf of projects and activities occurring in the East Midlands. Full guidelines and criteria for projects to be included in the Cultural Olympiad will be published in the coming months but key principles are available on the London 2012 website. A number of agencies, eg the Film Council, the Arts Council and the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (MLA) are taking the lead on delivering some of the key projects listed in the 2012 programme and will be publishing their own guidelines in due course. The MLA has published its strategy for the Olympics, Setting the Pace and the DCMS and Visit Britain have published their tourism strategy, Winning: A Tourism Strategy for 2012 and Beyond. There will be a significant re-alignment of current resources in support of the Cultural Olympiad but there are as yet no confirmed additional funds available for supporting projects, although discussions are being advanced with a number of possibilities, eg the Legacy Trust and headline sponsors of the Games. Local context There will be opportunities to link existing and new events and activities into the Cultural Olympiad programme. This is likely to be a mixture of high profile events at large venues and aimed at large spectator audiences and more local community based activities. Game City, developed by Nottingham Trent University provides a method of promoting how gaming can be utilised in the fight against adult and child obesity. The potential to take this to a regional, national and international level exists if funding and resources could be secured. Action Points 1 To support the work of the Creative Programmer (East Midlands) and disseminate information about Cultural Olympiad projects which impact on Nottinghamshire/the East Midlands 2 To liaise with key sub-regional bodies including GNP SAT for Tourism, Leisure and Culture; the Nottingham/shire Cultural Partnership; Experience Nottinghamshire in order to maximise the profile of events which meet the Cultural Olympiad values and themes 3 Work with cultural providers across Nottinghamshire including local authority Arts/Culture and International departments, Universities, arts and cultural organisations, in order to encourage and be aware of events at a local level 4 Link with the International Office within the local authorities and Universities to be aware of international initiatives and visits which link with the Cultural Olympiad themes at a local level 5 Signpost potential event organisers towards relevant advice from local authorities, funders eg Awards for All, Grants for the Arts etc Children and Young People Objectives 1 Increasing young people"s participation in sport and physical activities 2 Maximising the opportunities for young people to be a part of the 2012 Games 3 Creating a programme of activities that explore the county"s international links and help young people understand and celebrate their position in a global society – a "One World" experience 4 Introduce more young people to volunteering and provide them with the skills necessary to sustain their volunteering to the benefit of their communities and potentially London 2012 In his final speech to the International Olympic Committee Seb Coe pronounced that, "London's vision is to reach people - young people, all around the world and connect them with the power of the Games". Coe himself was inspired by the Mexico Games of 1968. The power of the Games on our doorstep cannot be underestimated and we will seek to use this to inspire more young people to take up sport and physical activity, to understand the world they live in and their role within it and to share cultural experiences with their peers both in the UK and around the world. Local Authorities will lead on the development of opportunities for children and young people. The themes of culture, health and sport are integral to developing opportunities for young people and Sport England, Culture East Midlands, Government Office for the East Midlands, the Youth Sports Trust and the Performance Action Group supported by Loughborough University will work closely with the local authorities. Local authorities have a key role to play in delivering the physical education elements of the Government"s Public Service Agreement 22*. The Government"s aim for 2008-11 is that, in addition to at least 2 hours per week of high quality PE and sport in school for all 5-16 year olds, all children and young people aged 5-19 will be offered opportunities to participate in a further 3 hours per week of sporting activities provided through schools, FE colleges, clubs and community providers. The Games present a unique opportunity to engage with children and young people. We will use innovative methods and technology to ensure they are at the heart of the planning and implementation of their 2012 journey. London 2012 will require 70,000 volunteers. We will encourage young people to volunteer for the Games but ensure they are equipped to do so; ensuring they are fully trained and have relevant experience within their local community. We will ensure the needs and wishes of young people are fully integrated into the county"s events programme including opportunities to volunteer and participate. As the single biggest peace time project on earth the 2012 Games provide an opportunity to further develop international twinning models for young people to share ideas and experiences. International cultural and sporting links will be forged across the globe. We want use the Games to widen these types of relationships and ensure more schools and communities have the resources to create their own "One World" experience. We will work with our higher and further education institutions to understand how we can best support them in the run up to the Games. We will look at how we can build on the strengths of sports medicine, sports technology and sports science. Sport England and Youth Sports Trust are working towards a network of coordinators within the HE/FE sector to address drop off levels of participation in the post-16 age group and to provide pathways of continued sporting participation and excellence. Action Points 1 Develop links with schools in Brazil 2 Establish an Extended Activities Programme for young people aged 5 -19 years that enables 17,226 young people to undertake 3 hours of activity per week in addition to their 2 hours of quality PE & School Sport between now and July 2011. 3 Support gifted and talented young people to enable them to reach their full potential 4 Train 150 young people as volunteers, leaders and coaches each year and deploy them in quality sporting placements with clubs, schools, communities and at events 5 Share good practice and innovation 6 Produce a schools resource pack to promote and explore understandings of the impact of the Olympics on the environment, people's leisure activities and global human relationships. 7 Organise FUN family activity days across the county to engage those young people and their families who are not participating in physical activity *PSA 22 - Deliver a successful Olympic Games and Paralympic Games with a sustainable legacy and get more children and young people taking part in high quality PE and sport. Health Objectives 1 Use the 2012 Games to raise awareness of the positive aspects of leading a healthy and active lifestyle within sedentary individuals and communities with significant health inequalities 2 Develop specific Health and 2012 interventions within the National Health Service (NHS) and foster better use of performance management within primary care around physical activity 3 Target Workplace Health initiatives 4 To halt the rise in adult and child obesity Health is particularly concerned with those individuals who do not undertake any form of physical activity within their daily lives. This is complementary to the effort to drive up engagement in sport and exercise amongst the overall population. The Chief Medical Officer has set out the scientific evidence* on the important contribution an active lifestyle can make to maintaining health and wellbeing throughout life. An active lifestyle is key to improving and maintaining health. According to the Health Service, at present, only 37% of men and 24% of women are sufficiently active to gain any health benefit. Besides the human costs of inactivity an estimate of the economic cost in England is estimated to be £8.2 billion annually. Active People informs us that in Nottinghamshire 51.3% of the population are sedentary. This varies from 43.6% in Rushcliffe to 57.9% in Mansfield. The rapid increase in the number of obese people in the UK is a major challenge. The Foresight "Tackling Obesities: Future Choices" Project Report states that nearly 60% of the UK population could be obese by 2050. This would lead to an anticipated seven fold increase in the direct healthcare costs of overweight and obesity with the wider costs to society and business reaching £45.5 billion (at today"s prices). The challenge of encouraging the sedentary into leading an active and healthy life is significant and we need to find the right solutions to these issues. There are identified gaps in the current performance management regime within PCTs around the recognition of physical activity and action is required within the Health Service to correct this shortfall. Action Points 1 To establish a legacy of physical activity and health interventions targeting those sedentary people within the population, with a high risk of long term health conditions. An evidence based approach will be taken to ensure that the interventions delivered are the most appropriate for working with target groups 2 To develop and embed performance management targets for physical activity within the NHS, which will ensure a London 2012 health legacy throughout the county. Embedding physical activity performance management targets in PCTs will ensure that physical activity will be part of core business arrangements for Primary Care Trusts 3 To develop interventions that target Workplaces as a way of getting to large numbers of the community 4 Support the development of Game City into a project that can use computer-based gaming technology in a physically active way 5 To develop interventions that halt the rise in adult and child obesity Structure The Nottinghamshire 2012 Steering Group comprises the following organisations and individuals: Experience Nottinghamshire Prof. John Heeley Visitor Economy Nottinghamshire & Derbyshire Maria Iliffe Business Opportunities Chamber of Commence Sport Sport Nottinghamshire Simon Starr Paralympic Sport GB Wheelchair Rugby Rob Tarr Culture Culture East Midlands Shona Powell Lakeside Arts Centre Children & Young People Nottinghamshire County Council Sue Connor Children"s & Young People"s Services Physical Activity & Health Nottingham City PCT Paul Dodsley Voluntary & Community Sector Volunteering Nottinghamshire Lynn Thompson Regional Link Emda Tom Gee Local Authorities Nottingham City Council Hugh White Nottinghamshire County Council Steve Bradley Each member of the Steering Group is charged with driving their particular area of expertise and is responsible for creating communication channels that feed upward and downward to all those organisations in their sector across the county. The great opportunity from the Games is to leave a legacy for our region. This focus on legacy is at the heart of all our activities and plans. Equality, diversity and sustainability are further key principles that each sector will keep at the centre of their thinking and action planning.

Product description
Civilization has long sought to limit the violence and ugliness of war. War and Law Since 1945 traces the recent history of these efforts, and explores important contemporary issues in the area. Geoffrey Best shows how the Second World War prompted reconstruction of international law, and charts the fortunes of its relations with war since then. He critically surveys the whole range of contemporary armed conflicts--high-tech international wars, wars of national liberation, revolutionary risings, and civil wars. Far more than a litany of the trouble-spots and tragedies of the second half of the twentieth century, this book offers an original and thought-provoking approach to contemporary history, law, politics, and ethics, and will be essential reading for anyone concerned with war.

By David Levine on Tuesday 1st November 2005
Josh Hartnett plays Matt Sullivan, a guy whose serious relationship with Nicole (Vinessa Shaw, Domino from Eyes Wide Shut) ended six months prior. Since then, he cannot commit to other women because he is still hung up on her. Not even when Matt and his roommate Ryan (Paulo Costanzo) bring home a couple of hot looking dates can he muster the desire to have sex with them. Looking for advice on his relationship matters, Matt turns to his brother John (Adam Trese), who has no female issues because has given his life to the church. Since Matt's visit with his brother coincides with Lent, he decides that abstaining from all things sexual will help him recover from his heartbreak. Ah, if only things were so easy.
Word spreads quickly of Matt's plan, and of course the fun begins. At the dot-com where he designs web pages, his male co-workers come up with an elaborate web site to track Matt's progress on his goal and take bets on when he will break his vow. His female co-workers become temptresses as they try to seduce him in every corner of the office - even on top of the copy machine! But Matt is up to his challenge and he does what he can to minimize the urges - hiding all of his girlie magazines, videos, pictures, and lubrication. He even cancels his Friday night plans for the next month, opting to spend time doing laundry instead of partying with the newest office co-ed.
It is at the laundromat where Matt meets Erica (Shannyn Sossamon), a fellow dot-comer who is also fed up with her dating life and has found washing clothes on a Friday night to be a peaceful escape. Their budding relationship causes entirely new problems for Matt, as he cannot fully commit to this new relationship because of his lingering feelings for Nicole. Erica realizes Matt is unlike other guys she has dated and wants to take their relationship to the next level (think sexual) but cannot because of his vow of abstinence unbeknownst to her. This creates an awkward and humorous moment at the end of their first date when she leans in for a kiss but only gets a "high five" in return from Matt.
Michael Lehmann (Heathers, The Truth About Cats and Dogs) directs 40 Days and 40 Nights with a similar in-your-face humor style that made the Farrelly brother's There's Something About Mary so outrageously fun, despite its offensiveness. This film will offend anyone who finds masturbation, erections, and public nudity objectionable, but they will likely be deterred by the film's ads anyhow. The film does have its problems: There is very little character development, the church is disrespected, and women are objectified. For example, Matt's boss (Griffin Dunne) complains that his wife is withholding sex from him, so as the female staff parade around the office in their short skirts and tight blouses he feels fully justified in indicating his sexual desire for them. It's nothing short of sexual harassment.
Even though the film doesn't take itself seriously, Rob Perez's script does pass along important messages about the values of using a condom, the value of emotional over physical attractions, and the complications that sex causes in relationships. These messages are sometimes hard to find, especially when Perez sends Matt flying through clouds shaped as nipples, or walking down the street surrounded by topless women. Anyone who's looking for a movie with deep messages or an honest look at abstinence should stay away.
Hartnett and Sossamon produce great chemistry, even though we know little about them, and their connection is largely superficial. The scenes inside the laundromat as their relationship develops are genuine, and later, they show us that eroticism is not always about having sex. The supporting cast produces some standout performances as well. With lines such as, "Give your star player the support he needs," and "You're gonna piss off the seeds," roommate Costanzo's shtick never tires as he is able to provide catchy metaphors to torment Matt and his vow of abstinence. Even the minor roles like Matt's parents provide many of the film's more memorable scenes. Matt seeks refuge in their company; yet the only thing his father wants to discuss over dinner is his research study on the Kama Sutra.
40 Days and 40 Nights works as guilty pleasure; there are plenty of great laughs which sustain the film despite its faults. Getting through Lent has never been so much fun!
The DVD includes few extras aside from a reasonably interesting commentary track -- the best parts putting the San Francisco dot-com boom into perspective (gosh, has been that long?).
Hartnett doesn't blow.

The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver says the benchmark, or typical price, for a detached home in the region has climbed to $1,123,900, a 14.8 per cent increase from June 2014. Here are 10 homes in Metro municipalities priced in the current bench-mark range.
Now that Metro Vancouver residents have voted against a tax increase to fund expanded transit services, TransLink and elected officials will need to look for other ways to fund public transit and cut road congestion and carbon emissions. Here are a few ideas.

Excellent results from Dr. McFarland and his staff. I have a complicating existing condition that could have been problomatic for shoulder joint replacement, but wasn't, because everyone involved had researched my case so thoroughly. I felt that I was in exactly the right place to get the help I needed. Just had my five-year follow-up and shoulder is as good as new! Many thanks!!

I am thankful to have had this physician restore my ability to move my right arm again. The aftercare has been extremely helpful, very skilled and caring. I now look forward to having the same procedure for my left shoulder.

After suffering chronic pain in my right shoulder for about 2 years and treatment of physical therapy and steroid did not help, my primary care doctor referred me to Dr. Edward McFarland, an orthopedic surgeon at Hopkins' Department of Orthopaedic Surgery. I was then diagnosed to have serious tears in the rotator cuff and open surgery may be needed. Dr. McFarland diagnosed my condition correctly, he fully explain the surgical process and what to expect after surgery. I felt confident that he was the right doctor for me. He was very successful in repairing my torn rotator cuff. I now have a very much improved range of motion and no pain in my right shoulder. I am sincerely grateful to Dr. McFarland, thank you for all that you did to improve my well being. An appreciation as well to the Fellows, physical therapist and staff, both at the Johns Hopkins' Orthopedics and Outpatient Rehabilitation Facility, who attended to me with good care and respect.

After suffering with chronic pain for 5 years, starting when I was 70 years old, I decided to have shoulder joint replacement surgery on both arms. After researching both hospitals and doctors I chose Dr. McFarland bases solely on his ratings and reputation. I'm so glad I did! Both surgeries went well with little pain and no complications. I approached the first operation with some trepidation and really appreciated Dr. McFarland visiting just before I went into surgery to reassure me that all would go well - which it did. My post-surgery checkups with Dr. Mcfarland have been pleasant and reassuring. Overall, I have to give Dr. McFarland the highest grades in all areas. He is skilled, knowledgable and friendly. I highly recommend him to anyone needing shoulder surgery. His staff at the Greenspring Station office is also excellent.

I approached full shoulder replacement with a long list of questions. Dr. McFarland patiently answered all of them. Having an understanding of the procedure made me feel comfortable. In addition, Dr. McFarland has a warm, friendly manner. One unexpected, small gesture that I found comforting was when he wheeled me into the OR. It sounds minor, but it was very comforting. His staff at the Lutherville office have always been pleasant and efficient. He is a great doctor.

Dr. McFarland is a superb orthopedic surgeon. In addition to his tremendous knowledge and skill, he is also extremely kind and caring. He graciously fit my mother into his clinic schedule when she suffered a broken shoulder, and he explained his plan of action thoroughly. He welcomed having my husband and me in the room. My mother has seen Dr. McFarland in follow-up twice already, and each time I am struck by his ability to combine his expertise and terrific clinical care with a compassionate bedside manner. I, myself, am a physician, so it is nice to see the medical profession at its finest.

Maintenance Assistant
posted this on January 25, 2013, 14:56
In our latest V5 release, we introduced multi-site functionality which makes collaboration across multiple locations within Maintenance Assistant CMMS easier than ever. Previously, all users in the system could see all maintenance related data such as preventive maintenance and work orders. With multi-site installed in your CMMS, you can operate multiple businesses, divisions, locations or facilities from one central CMMS database. This means your CMMS can be partitioned so different users throughout the organization have different access rights based on their location. Whereas user group permissions determines access rights to functionality such as reports or settings, sites determines access rights to asset and maintenance data in the CMMS.
Multi-site is quick to enable and can be configured quickly. Work order data from different sites is then filtered to those technicians and managers that need to see it. This reduces the amount of noise in your CMMS, thus increasing productivity and the bottom line. With multi-site installed, the following data is partitioned between sites:
For example, user A can see maintenance data for site A, user C can see maintenance data for site C but Manager 1 can see data for both site B and C. The multi-site administrator can see all data from all sites.
The Gatekeeper - It is necessary to assign an administrator to the system so they can edit and update settings and customizations that are global such as maintenance types or asset custom fields. The system administrator also controls all the set up and configuration changes relating to multi-site, including adding, deleting or modifying sites.
Common parts database - When searching for parts, your technicians can see inventory quantities at all sites. That way, if their location does not hold the part, they can choose to ship it in from another location or just order a new part from the supplier. On the other hand, parts consumed in a work order can only be pulled from inventoried parts at that site. If you use a part from another site, the part is moved physically by road or air, so you must also move it in the CMMS before it can be consumed in the work order.
Asset Naming – What happens if you have Mill 1 at site A but another Mill 1 at site B? When running reports across all sites, it will be difficult to determine which asset you are looking at. Therefore, it may be prudent to implement an effective asset naming convention so each asset in the system is easily identifiable.
We've designed multi-site to be quick and easy to implement but the multi-site module must be enabled to access and configure multisite functionality. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com to get multi-site enabled on your CMMS.

Judge: Calif. teen can be taken off life support
Oakland, Calif. • A judge on Tuesday ruled that a 13-year-old Northern California girl declared brain dead after suffering complications following a tonsillectomy can be taken off life support.
But Alameda County Superior Court Judge Evelio Grillo gave Jahi McMath's family until 5 p.m. Dec. 30 to file an appeal. She will stay on life support until then.
Relatives said the family has not decided if they would keep fighting.
"It's Christmas Eve, there is still time for a miracle," said Omari Sealey, the girl's uncle. He said the family would discuss and decide later whether to appeal or to allow the hospital to remove the girl from the ventilator.
Inside court, two doctors testified that Jahi couldn't breathe on her own when the ventilator was briefly removed during tests. A court-appointed doctor, Paul Fisher of Stanford University, examined her for several hours on Monday and Tuesday and told Grillo she was brain dead. The judge based his decision on Fisher's conclusions as well as those of Dr. Robin Shanahan, a doctor at Children's Hospital.
Speaking directly to the family, Grillo said they have his sympathy but that he was powerless to order the hospital to keep Jahi on life support.
"I wish I could fix it, but I can't," he said.
Children's Hospital of Oakland, where Jahi is hospitalized, has asked that the girl be taken off life support after doctors there concluded she was brain dead.
"Our sincere hope is that the family finds peace and can come to grips with the judge's decision," hospital attorney Doug Strauss said outside court after Grillo's ruling.
The girl's family has said it believes she is still alive and that the hospital should not remove her from the ventilator without its permission.
Hospital lawyers disagreed.
"Because Ms. McMath is dead, practically and legally, there is no course of medical treatment to continue or discontinue; there is nothing to which the family's consent is applicable," the hospital said in a court filing on Tuesday.
Fisher first provided his opinion to Grillo behind closed doors Tuesday morning. The doctor briefly provided his conclusions in open court that Jahi has no brain activity. He then left court without taking questions.
Shanahan, the Children's Hospital doctor, was next called to testify in the judge's chambers.
Grillo had previously ordered Jahi remain on life support until Dec. 30, or until further order from the court.
Jahi was declared brain dead after experiencing complications following a tonsillectomy at Children's Hospital.
The judge on Monday had called for Jahi to be independently examined by Fisher, the chief of child neurology at Stanford University School of Medicine.
The family's attorney, Christopher Dolan, has said he wants a third evaluation done by Dr. Paul Byrne, a pediatric professor at the University of Toledo. The hospital's attorney objected to Byrne, saying he is not a pediatric neurologist.

Harvey struck out nine and scattered five hits over five shutout innings Thursday as the St. Lucie Mets opened the season by edging the Palm Beach Cardinals, 1-0.

Selected seventh overall in the 2010 Draft, Harvey (1-0) put six men on base in the first two innings of the Florida State League opener. Undeterred, he battled through and posted zeros on the scoreboard.
The 22-year-old right-hander walked two batters and gave up a hit in the opening frame, but he picked leadoff hitter D'Marcus Ingram off second base and escaped the inning unscathed.
The University of North Carolina product ran into more trouble in the second, surrendering consecutive one-out singles to load the bases. But he struck out the next two batters to preserve a 1-0 lead.
Once Harvey found his rhythm, he was comfortable on the mound. He struck out the side in the third and allowed one baserunner over his final three innings of work.
"I had some good adrenaline going," Harvey said, "but I was reaching to the plate too much and I didn't have any life on my fastball. After the first two innings I was able to get the ball down and get my fielders involved."
Harvey said he relied on his slider and curveball more than usual but still approached every at-bat as its own mini-game.
"I just wanted to go out there and work pitch by pitch," he explained. "I knew that if I did that, everything else would take care of itself."
Eric Beaulac followed with two perfect innings and Jeffrey Kaplan completed the shutout.
Harvey and the bullpen outdueled former first-round pick Shelby Miller (0-1), who also fanned nine and allowed an unearned run on four hits and a walk over five innings.
Matt Den Dekker, a 2010 fifth-round pick, had two hits and scored the game's lone run on Stefan Welch's first-inning groundout.

Independence Day is only a few days away. Soon, kids of all ages will be flocking to stands to buy firecrackers, sparklers and other items.

Buy from Aldys!! Price is Great and Water is delicious!! We always crush these bottles after we finish a bottle of water!!! Lol I keep bottles in the fridge(love cold bottled water) and Dad drinks his room temperature! Yummy! Perfect sized bottle!!!
I am going to comment on another bonus.. The shape of the bottles. I know it's not to big of an issue but these bottles are comfortable to hold.. Am I right ?
This is the only spring water we buy in bulk. Taste great and the price is also great
Consmr donated 20 cases of PurAqua and is hand delivering them to hurricane shelters in the New York City area.
This water is overpriced and although high quality, we can't afford water this ridiculously expensive. I'd rather but more generic waters and save my cash. Sorry!!!
LOVE it!!!It is the best tasting water! I Do wish it also came in a gallon size! I drink only this water all day and it would be nice to have it in the gallon size to be more convenient and use less bottles. Keep up the good work!
Sorry, we currently don't have any links to where you can buy this product. Please try again later.×

The Call Center front line employees are awesome!
Micromanagement is the call center's key "strength". . . if you want to look for something that the top tier of the Carlsbad center are good at. Micromanagement should not be confused with directed management . . . there is a difference. Directed management, or providing leadership, is a healthy and expected function of Supervisors/Managers and even CS Directors. Unfortunately, there are some that provide "supervisory oversight" that Lord Over the call center and who practice micromanagement. I do not believe that there is a business school in existence that teaches that micromanagement is a good, or healthy way to motivate or do business.
Would an small, nitpicky example help? And trust me . . . if you don't do this exactly right, you will be "negatively impacted" on your QA scores. Recently it was handed down to the lower levels in the call center that the "greet" is to now be done verbatim. So what is so wrong with that? Well, when your greet includes "how can I help you?", rather than "how may I help you?", you have a problem. Do you allow your grade school child to say "Can I do this or that" or do you require that they say "May I do this or that"? After all, my mother used to immediately correct me with "I don't know, can you?" Oops . . . sorry Mom . . . "may I?"
Does Greatcall provide some awesome products? You bet.
Will you be required to upsell on every single call no matter if the customer just called 5 min ago? Yes!
If you offer a service as an upsell and the customer accepts the offer, but do not offer it in Exactly the way deemed as correct will your QA be "negatively impacted"? Yes again!
From my heart to yours:
You will be hired by Greatcall for being inteligent, having great CS skills, and being a person that fits in with our culture. But do you really need this job that badly? I understand that we all need a job and times are still tough. I care about you enough, and so have others, to tell you what the call center is really like. If you are going to work in corporate. . . go for it! 5 Star? Absolutely, you have my blessing and I wish you the best as you will do well. But the call center? No, have more respect for yourself and love for your family to do better.
Our customers deserve the best service in the world! But you deserve the best as well.
Advice to Management
There is a chart posted on the wall of the call center near the breakroom in CS call center. The bottom of that chart is where the real problem is in the call center. Fix that section and your Seniors, Supervisors and Managers will be happier, more productive . . . and your front line employees will be too!

I worked at GreatCall full-time (More than a year)RecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEORecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEO
Learned a lot about dispatch that is helping me advance my career in the Fire field. GreatCall and 5Star gave me an opportunity to realize that I really want to help people for a living. My co-workers (many that are now my friends) were always there for me when I needed help or had a question about a protocol. 5Star management always had my back when I challenged a QA. There is room for growth and with the new Reno center the opportunity for advancement seems limitless. The director, Abe Bui and my supervisor, Candace Stoute really believed in us and would never let us give up. Best place I ever worked, bar none.
Not any "cons" per se, but pay could have been better for the type of stress that we went through from time to time. The outsourced center was always confusing the customers and the 5Star account support team doesn't have the first clue about customer service.
Advice to Management
You should consider paying your Urgent Response Agents more. Fix your customer service. Get rid of the outsourced call center.

little elephant sessions
I'm serious when I say this, no album will ever be able to just calm me and make me feel at peace like Four One Five Two. It means more to me than any other album, ever. It's there when no one else is, it gives me a feeling of redemption. That might not make much sense, I'm being a drunken fool, but it makes me feel like I'm going to rise above this. I'm going to be okay one day. That's what this album does for me. It takes every single little bullshit thing in my life that I hate and it just makes it seem like it's going to be okay. I will take this album to the fucking grave.

Despite rumors that Michael Jackson is battling a life-threatening disease, his publicist ensures us that he's alive and well. And even better, still prepping for his world tour. We've heard that one before.
Recent comments were published concerning MJ's health by author Ian Halperin, and his rep has issued a statement insisting it's false, saying that "wild allegations concerning Mr. Jackson's health are a total fabrication."
Halperin claims Michael is suffering from a genetic condition called Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, a potentially fatal genetic illness that could require a lung transplant to save him.
"Concerning this author's allegations, we would hope in the future that legitimate media will not continue to be exploited by such an obvious attempt to promote this unauthorized 'biography'.
"Mr. Jackson is in fine health, and finalizing negotiations with a major entertainment company and television network for both a world tour and a series of specials and appearances."
His reps have been telling us for years that he's going to do a world tour. We're not buying it anymore. We'll believe it when we see it. But we're glad the lung disease reports were false!

Can Your Agency Use Appropriated Funds for Meals and Light Refreshments? (Superseded by 2011 Version)
Mar 10, 2005
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
This document was superseded by the document "Can Your Agency Use Appropriated Funds for Meals and Light Refreshments?" dated March 10, 2011. This document is a government guidance regarding the appropriate use of government funds for meals and light refreshments. The document states that in general, an agency may not use appropriated funds to purchase items considered personal expenses like food, without specific authority. There are exceptions to this law, however, such as using funds for an awards ceremony where an awardee is being fed to advance the recoginition of his or her achievements, or consuming meals and/or light refreshments during the course of employee training, in order to obtain the training's full benefit. Furthermore, an agency may pay for food if it sends an employee to a government-sponsored conference and the conference involves matters of topical interest to multiple agencies and/or non governmental participants.

GLG Partners has been awarded a mandate from the asset management division of Banca Fideuram to manage three UCITS III 130/30 accounts, which are expected to be funded late in the third quarter with initial assets of approximately $3 billion.
Noam Gottesman, GLG's co-chief executive officer, said: "We have had a close relationship with Banca Fideuram, which currently has $250 million invested with GLG."
Tommaso Corcos, chief executive officer of the asset management division of Banca Fideuram, added that the new mandate will give its investors access to "hedge fund like flexibility."
The management fees charged for the 130/30 products will be set at institutional levels, according to the firms.
Italian private bank Banca Fideuram currently manages some € 65.5 billion (US$102 billion) in total assets and publicly traded GLG managed over $24 billion in assets as of the end of March.
