"People are STARVING to Death, even while Feasting to Death: because they are Starving for True Foods." source
If it is True that Christians must Overcome their Sins, and Stop Sinning, before they can be Saved for any Positions within the Kingdom of God, then tens of millions of Professing Christians are in for a Great Surprise during the Day of Judgment: beCause they have Vainly Imagined that they can Pack at least some of their Sins with them into that Holy Kingdom, which is Unreasonable: beCause the Whole Purpose for the First Coming of Jesus Christ was to Atone for ALL of our Sins, and to Cleanse us from ALL Unrighteousness! Indeed, he did not come to the Earth, in Order to Save us IN our Sins, as many Deceived People have Vainly Imagined; but, he came in Order to Save us FROM our Sins, in Order that we might be FREE from all Sins. In Fact, he who has that Hope in him, Purifies himself, even as he is Pure; and this Inspired Booklet Explains HOW we can all Do that, Free of Charge!
It seems that most People do not Think so, or else this Church might be Filled with Repentant Sinners; but, behold, only a few People are even Interested in its Glory, in spite of the Gold Trimmings on the Ornate Carvings of the "Apostles," who would probably be Weeping, if they should Learn what is going on, nowadays.
"Whomever has been Born of God, becoming a New Spiritual Creation, According to the Holy Order of Jesus Christ, does not Commit Sins: beCause his Seeds of Truth Remain within him, Reminding him of what is Right and WRong; and therefore, he cannot Sin: beCause he has been Born of All that is Good." — The New MAGNIFIED Version (NMV) of First John 3:9.
"Blest are those Humble and Sincere People, who Do the Commandments of God, so that they may have the Right to Enter through the Pearly White Gates into the Holy City, and thus Eat the Sweet Fruits from the Tree of Life, and thus Live Forever on it. But, on the Outside of that Holy City are Ravenous Wolverines, Gluttons, Filthy Barking Dogs, Drunkards, Political Rabbits, Revengeful Beasts, Laughing Hyenas, Stinking Skunks, Prostitutes, Poisonous Snakes, Witch Doctors, Thieving Raccoons, Vicious Bears, Warmongers, Ferocious Lions, Murderers, Scorpions, Druggerers, Sexually Immoral People, Idol Worshipers, Moronic Idiots, Moneymongers, Unpurified Puritans, Unbelievers, and whomsoever Loves and Practices Lying." — The NMV of Revelation 22:14—15.

When both the front seat massage (pulse) are turned on than the seat massage operates for a very short while.I am guessing that all these issues are inter-related with the electrical system but, I could be wrong. Lastly, the SOFT close on one door only seems NOT to be functioning. Any suggestions???? - S55-AMG
Answer 1
Take your car to a shop and ask them to perform a battery / charging system test. There might be a charging issue and in this case several consumers (the less important ones) could be disabled to conserve power for the drive train. I'd suggest a shop who is expert on MB electrical and power distribution systems. Let us know what happened. Zee - ZeeTech

The United States cautiously welcomes the latest Israeli-Palestinian ceasefire and urges both sides to comply with the terms of the agreement, the State Department said on Tuesday.
"We call on all parties to fully and completely comply with its terms, and hope very much that the ceasefire will prove to be durable and sustainable," State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters at a daily briefing.
"We view this as an opportunity, not a certainty," Psaki said. "There is a long road ahead and we're aware of that, and we're going into this eyes wide open," she added.

Long story:
I've been trying to get a good laptop for £700. Obviously compromises must be made. I've found one with optimizations that allow for a 16GB Micro hard drive SSD. (This allows me to stay in budget rather than the main drive being in an SSD one). My needs are that I just want a fastboot up and good performance. Here comes the issue with performance:
I can get the Laptop for £705, with a i5 (4th gen) and Nvidia GT G740M or I could get it for £748 with an i7 quad core 4th gen but an intel 4600 card. Finally, if I was feeling like spending a lot, for £800, I could have both the graphics card and the i7.
Short story
Obviously I'm not committed to this laptop, I'll happily shop around, but I guess the general question I'm asking is this:
Should you spend more to get an i7 quad core (i7 4702mq) with an intel hd 4600 or save and get an i5 4200m and a dedicated graphics card Nvidia GT G740M). I'm a casual gamer.


text: GamesBeat What developers doodle/write when they're bored (gallery) March 30, 2013 1:23 PM Dan "Shoe" Hsu 0 The Oculus Rift is sure keeping a lot of people on hold. The upcoming virtual reality headset "that won't make you barf" (our words) isn't nearly ready for consumers — the development kits just started shipping out. And at last week's Game Developers Conference, attendees waited up to two hours to get their hands/eyes on a working demo just to see what the fuss is about. Parent company Oculus VR, however, did have a simple plan to make the long wait at GDC a bit more tolerable. "We felt bad," said senior product manager Joseph Chen about the developers waiting in line, "so we let them draw on our walls. We just provided the markers." Check out the gallery below to see what they ended up writing and drawing to help pass the time. Gallery: GalleryAbove: Adventure Time's Jake and Finn make an appearance.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 8/15/12
At first glance, running back Travaris Cadet would seem like a long shot to make a New Orleans roster that already includes Darren Sproles, Pierre Thomas, Mark Ingram, and Chris Ivory. The undrafted rookie out of Appalachian State has versatility in his favor, though. While he has yet to do much in the running game in two preseason games, his 14 catches lead the team and his 109 yards receiving, highlighted by a 24-yard gain against Arizona in the Hall of Fame game, ranks third on the team. Cadet also has returned both punts and kickoffs, and hopes he can continue to carve out a niche as a utility player when the Saints play their first home game of the preseason against Jacksonville on Friday night.

But it was hard not to cringe as the Precious costar basically gave herself a full-body patdown on camera.
We are meant to cringe at the sight of a photo of an all-black classroom and ask cynically where the white kids are.
Most professors do cringe at Fox News and would rather it didn't exist.
early 13c., from causative of Old English cringan "give way, fall (in battle), become bent," from Proto-Germanic *krank- "bend, curl up" (cf. Old Norse kringr, Dutch kring, German Kring "circle, ring"). Related: Cringed; cringing. As a noun from 1590s.

Yep, I went to see it on the opening night, and it's specatcular! You guys with an interest in pt/pd printing and gum need to see it. It's so utterly well printed.
The photography itself is also inspiring. It is my thought that Ike has captured much of the spirit of the place, really getting under the skin of the parts of Ireland he visited. I'm going back at my next earliest convenience. I wish I had enough cash to support it by buying a print, but that isn't going to be anytime soon. Those who are wealthy enough definitely should inquire about buying.

Arizona Cardinals
Practice time can't hurt, but Cardinals' RB Mendenhall looking to rebound from dismal effort
TEMPE, Ariz. -- Following his team's 13-10 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Sunday, Arizona Cardinals coach Bruce Arians expressed much discontent over how running back Rashard Mendenhall had played.
A free agent pickup in the offseason, Mendenhall rushed for 21 yards on 12 carries while fumbling twice -- the last of which came while he was about to run out of bounds with less than two minutes remaining as the Cardinals were trying to run down the clock.
In fact, the only thing that salvaged the play was that he fumbled out of bounds, preventing the Buccaneers from recovering the ball as the clock continued ticking away.
"Rashard had a very tough day," Arians said after the game. "He can't play that way.
"He can't run out of bounds; he's a veteran. To run out of bounds at the end of the game was ridiculous -- that was the worst mistake he made all day."
Arians added that he felt the coaches needed to practice Mendenhall "a little bit harder," as he feels they had been a bit lenient on him due to various injuries.
After practice Friday, Mendenhall said he doesn't necessarily agree with his coach's assessment, but knows he can't have a repeat performance.
"Maybe [the lack of practice time] had something to do with it, but all in all that wasn't acceptable and I have to do better," he said. "That's what I'm working towards."
On the season, Mendenhall has gained 176 yards on 52 carries with one touchdown. He's also caught seven passes for 57 yards, but failed to provide the team with the ground threat it hoped he would be. Some of that may be on the offensive line as well as the game plan, but the former 1,000-yard rusher expects better, which is why he won't forget last week's shortcomings.
"You look at everything the same way and it's to get better," he said. "You look at the mistakes, you look at what happened and how you could do that better."
That said, he's looking forward to getting back on the field Sunday against the Panthers because it will offer him a chance to put something better on tape.

Tonight's ROYAL PAINS Season Premiere is Two-Hour Wedding Movie Event on USA
USA will celebrate a"Royal" holiday wedding - that is, the long planned nuptials of Evan (Paulo Costanzo) and Paige (Brooke D'Orsay) - in a special ROYAL PAINS two-hour movie event "Off-Season Greetings," featuring revealing flashbacks, an unexpected snowstorm and a reunion of old friends. ROYAL PAINS stars Mark Feuerstein as Dr. Hank Lawson, the go to "doctor for hire" in the Hamptons, who finds that life in the exclusive community isn't always as perfect as it may seem. The ROYAL PAINS holiday special airs tonight, December 16 at 9/8c.
For the first time in its four seasons, ROYAL PAINS takes a look at the Hamptons in the winter, several months after the events of the explosive summer finale. With the Hamptons decked out for the holidays, Dr. Hank Lawson (Feuerstein) continues to treat his patients in very unexpected ways, but Hank's biggest challenge will be facing his own medical issues.
In this special presentation of ROYAL PAINS, secrets from the past are revealed in a series of flashbacks in which fans learn the back-story of the Lawson brothers - Hank and Evan - prior to their move out east, before HankMed was ever conceived. When we first met Hank in season one, he had been fired from his job as an ER doctor, his fiancée had left him and he was alone and depressed before a weekend in the Hamptons changed his life. We'll meet Hank's first love (guest star Emma Caulfield) and learn how Hank's past romances and his relationship with Evan made him the man he is today. The episode will also mark the return of Jill Casey (Jill Flint), who left the Hamptons at the beginning of season four to follow her dream of working in a clinic in Africa. As the wedding approaches, Evan and Hank head to Las Vegas for some bachelor party fun, while Paige and Divya (Reshma Shetty) travel out of town for her bachelorette party. Through circumstances beyond their control, both parties end up in Las Vegas where surprises abound and someone takes a big gamble on the future. And with a snowstorm descending on the Hamptons, Paige rapidly finds her dream wedding turning into a nightmare.
ROYAL PAINS is written and executive produced by Andrew Lenchewski and Michael Rauch. Paul Frank and Rich Frank also serve as executive producer along with Jeff Kwatinetz from Prospect Park and Connie Burge. Carol Flint, Jon Sherman, Kerry Orent and Jack Bernstein co-executive produce. The series comes from Universal Cable Productions. ROYAL PAINS films entirely in New York (Long Island and Brooklyn) and at locations around the Hamptons plus Las Vegas for scenes in "Off-Season Greetings."

So, how will Bay do in Citi Field?
Dec 30, 2009, 11:30 AM EDT
It's behind the Insider wall, but Buster Olney passes along some analysis from the ESPN stats department — the members of whom I picture working in some shabby off-site building like the Major Crimes detail on "The Wire" — who project Jason Bay to hit 30 homers overall next year, 10 at home, 20 on the road. I'm neither capable nor inclined to seriously question or back up that analysis, but I could see it. He hit 15 at home last year and 21 on the road. I'm guessing the Monster turned some would-be homers into doubles, but that Citi Field will turn them into outs.
Happy with that Mets fans?
If not, at least be happy with something else Buster writes up: the history of Mets big-money free agent signings that included Bobby Bonilla, Cliff Floyd, Tom Glavine, Pedro Martinez and a shoutout to Vince Coleman. Outside of Carlos Beltran there's a lot of ugliness in the Mets' free agent history, so things could definitely be worse.
- APBA Guy - Dec 30, 2009 at 11:43 AM
The ESPN stats analysis appears to be on solid ground with respect to the Bay projection. It's been some time since my own stat heavy days, but given all the usual caveats surrounding these things (injuries, weather, etc) 30 is a good projection.
A bigger point is this whole insider wall thing. Insider is now up to $40/year. I know some guys will spend that on porn in a month, but it's an outrageous amount given the quality of competing free web sites, including this one.
For $ 40 bucks a year all that you get that's unique and worthwhile is Law and Neyer. Everything else you can find for free elsewhere, and hopefully you will no longer have to hide your shame and embarrassment when the postman hands you The Magazine.
- Ryan - Dec 30, 2009 at 11:48 AM
… and all the best stuff eventually makes it's way here anyways. That paywall is just such a joke to me, why on earth would someone pay for it? yay CTB.
- METDISAPPOINTED - Dec 30, 2009 at 11:53 AM
I have been a Mets fan for years and I must be truly missing the point here, we had a chance to improve pitching and infield positions and this is the best Minaya could do? I will have to look at my finanaces long and hard before going to the ballpark this year, sorry guys!
- Simon DelMonte - Dec 30, 2009 at 12:30 PM
Given how badly the Mets did with home runs, even 30 won't be a bad number. Especially since only 30 players hit 30 or more homers last season. Never mind the the team leader was Daniel Murphy, with 12.
The bigger question continues to be whether Wright can find his stroke again. I would like to think that a healthy lineup with Beltran and Bay will afford Wright some protection, but there is no way to predict, is there?
I also don't really put much credence in Citi Field being a problem. Everyone has to play there, and all those homers the opposing teams hit tell me that it was the pitching, not the park. A well run team can adjust. Just look at how the home run rate for visitors to Yankee Stadium II went down as CC and Company got the hang of it. (Yes, there is the huge issue of pitching, but that is another topic, for now.)
I think that Cliff Floyd and Tom Glavine were good pick-ups for the Mets; and that Pedro was a necessary move to bring credibility to a team that had very little, even if he broke down in the end. Obviously, I and no other Mets fan will ever defend the Bonilla signing.
- JordanFan - Dec 30, 2009 at 12:46 PM
"Happy with that Mets fans?"
Eat me, douchebag.
- mtjofmcap - Dec 30, 2009 at 1:00 PM
@ Jordan Fan:
No, I'm not happy with it — as a Met fan. Calling Craig names only takes time away from pining for a new set of owners for our beloved Mets.
As a breed Mets' fans are pessimistic. I place myself on the top of that list. But, as my father said yesterday: "If Bay were that good, the Sox or the Yankees would have gotten him by now."
If I were a betting man, injuries, weather and karma will take their respective tolls on the new acquisition. I'll be thrilled when Bay hits his first home run at Citi Field in mid-May.
- N - Dec 30, 2009 at 1:38 PM
$40/year is a lot, but you can get a lot better deal if you look around. Around Black Friday, Amazon was offering a year of the magazine for $5, which seemed like a good deal; I'd finally be able to read Peter Gammons' entire articles!
(But Buster's been OK.)
- Dirck - Dec 30, 2009 at 2:01 PM
I have been a Met fan since the beginning . I went to see them play in the Polo Grounds ( what a bizarre park that was ! )The Mets have a pretty awful track record in trading for or signing hitters in their 30's . The Mets seem to get them immediately after the last good year of their career .Jim Fregosi, Roberto Alomar,Bobby Bonilla, Moe Vaughn ,George Foster,come immediately to mind . Let's hope that Bay is an exception , especially since the Mets had Bay when he was still in the minors and gave him away for nothing .
- TommyB - Dec 30, 2009 at 7:34 PM
Whoa, gave Bay away for nothing Dirck? We got Jason Middlebrook and Steve Reed for him 😉

Trolltech Makes KDE Developer its Vice President of Engineering
Lars Knoll is to become part of the Trolltech management team. As Vice President of Engineering, he will lead the developer teams in Norway, Germany and Australia.
In his position as the chief product developer Lars Knoll will coordinate product roadmaps and development with product managers. The 36-year-old has a PHD in physics and has worked as a Qt software developer for Trolltech for the last seven years. Prior to promotion Knoll was a leading member of several international projects for Web browsing or user interfaces for devices and applications on Linux.
The last changes in Trolltech's management occurred last October with "Chief Troll" and co-founder of the company Eirik Chambe-Eng quitting for health reasons ( as Linux Magazine reported). The Norwegian company then appointed Chuck Piercy as its new chief product manager. The sole CEO at Trolltech following Chambe-Engs departure is the second co-founder Harvard Nord.
Lars Knoll was born in Freiburg, Germany. He programmed version 1.1.2 of Khtml, the KDE HTML library for the KDE project and has maintained it ever since. Trolltech, which was founded in 1994, and is based in Oslo has subsidiaries in California and China, and a development office in Australia. Trolltech opened development offices in Munich and Berlin, Germany in 2006.

Matthew McConaughey Tells Teens: Just Keep Livin'
The Lessons of J.K. Livin
The idea, then, is to both break a sweat and open a mind. With a staff of district teachers and coaches recruited and paid by j.k. livin for their after-school participation, the program offers kids much-needed emotional and physical guidance. For McConaughey, that guidance begins with learning to count your blessings -- and maintaining a positive attitude.
"We want the kids to have and to understand gratitude ... to open doors to new things coming into your life," he says, pointing to the "gratitude circle," an integral part of the program during which kids discuss what they are thankful for. "When kids finally get comfortable enough to be part of the gratitude circle -- and that's not an easy thing, because saying 'thank you' when you're 17 in front of a bunch of people is not really cool -- I was most surprised when they were thankful [for] the foundation, that they now had a safe place to go."
Many of the program's participants come from single-parent homes, some with a harried mother struggling to keep it all together. Many have expressed surprise, McConaughey marvels, that j.k. livin is willing to give them so much time and attention. Others, he says, report: "'I'm less stressed when I get home [now]. I've got more respect for all my mom does, how hard she works. You showed me that.'"
Matthew McConaughey: Giving Back
McConaughey credits his own father, who "always taught me to give back," with inspiring him to launch the foundation. It's also the reason the actor expects the program's kids to show up for their communities.
"Yeah, it's free," he says of his foundation. "But it can't be a one-way street! You get more out of what's given to you when what's given to you demands you give something back. We introduced community service. I didn't know how the kids would react. I thought they'd say, 'No, man, I ain't giving up my Saturday to go down and pack up food for the troops in Afghanistan!' But they love it and fully participate. They take more pride, and it gives the program a little more teeth, because it demands time and effort from the kids. They love that responsibility."

Mass. police: man facing charges in dog beating
Police said Monday a Polish man who was living in Massachusetts has been charged in the torturing and beating of a dog whose plight has drawn wide attention.
Quincy Police Chief Paul Keenan said Radoslaw Czerkawski (RAD'-oh-slaw zehr-KAW'-skee) was arrested last week in New Britain, Conn., on a charge of misleading police and is now also charged with 11 counts of animal cruelty.
Keenan said Czerkawski, 32, will be arraigned Tuesday in Quincy District Court. It's not immediately known who is representing him.
The dog, knicknamed "Puppy Doe," was described as a pit bull type breed about a year old. It was euthanized after being found barely alive Aug. 31 in Quincy.
Police said Czerkawski had lived on the street where the dog was found. The dog had been starved and had severe injuries including a fractured skull, stab wounds and a split tongue.
Massachusetts residents, officials and animal rights activists have since demanded stricter laws against abuse. Legislation that would create a statewide registry of individuals convicted of animal abuse and impose tougher penalties is gaining support.

Medical Mistakes
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
GWEN IFILL: And joining me are Dr. John Eisenberg, director of the Agency for Health Care Research and Quality. The agency is part of the Clinton administration's Health and Human Services Department. And Carmela Coyle, senior vice president for Policy at the American Hospital Association, which represents 5,000 hospitals and health systems across the country.
Carmela Coyle, the President says this is a good idea, that early reviews from Congress are encouraging for the President's proposal. What does the hospital association think?
CARMELA COYLE, American Hospital Association: The president's proposal does contain some good ideas but also contain as number of unanswered questions that really need to be addressed to make certain that this is a prescription for patient safety.
GWEN IFILL: What are those questions?
CARMELA COYLE: Two of the critical questions have to do with the protection of and confidentiality of the information that's included in these reports. What's critical to the success of any error reporting system is the protection and the confidentiality of that information so that we can create an environment in which doctors and nurses and others feel comfortable talking about their mistakes — so that we can learn from them and prevent those mistakes from happening again.
GWEN IFILL: Dr. Eisenberg, what about the confidentiality concerns?
DR. JOHN EISENBERG, Healthcare Research & Quality Agency: Well, Ms. Coyle is exactly right. It's critical when we have systems in place for learning from those errors that are made that clinicians and hospitals feel comfortable in reporting those errors and that the systems be confidential. In fact, we've gone so far as to suggest that the protections that exist in our peer review organizations, which are called peer review protections, be extended beyond those.
GWEN IFILL: What are peer reviews?
DR. JOHN EISENBERG: If a report has been assembled based on a hospital's experience in areas are other areas of quality and reported to another organization, that information is confidential and isn't to be disclosed unless it's disclosed in a very controlled way. We've proposed a limited number of serious events, as the president mentioned, death and serious adverse events, which would be the only ones that would be disclosed. The other events would be kept confident so the hospitals could learn from them. But we think it's critical that the public have access to the information that they need in order to be sure the health care system is safe for them.
GWEN IFILL: Well, the question I guess for me is how do you do that? It's nice you both agree a confidentiality is important for medical professions but what about — I'm speaking for the patient here — why shouldn't these people be held responsible, personally responsible for the mistakes they make?
DR. JOHN EISENBERG: What's key about this initiative that we've proposed is that the solution to the errors problem is not to blame individuals, but to look for system solutions. The answers are going to be in systems because physicians don't practice by themselves anymore. Nurses don't practice by themselves. They practice in teams and the solutions are going to have to be solutions from those teams from systems.
CARMELA COYLE: And the issue of discovery protections in a liability context and confidentiality are critical, because if those protections aren't there, we'll end up driving these errors underground. And what we want to do is bring them to the surface so we can learn from them. I think some the concerns we have with the current proposal is the language around these protections remains very vague. We're encouraged but we need to be certain that those discovery protections will, in fact, be in place while patients' names and the names of doctors and nurses involved will be kept confident confidential, the name of the hospital in which an error occurred will not be kept confidential. Our concern is some enterprising malpractice attorneys may be able to dig back through that information, identify caregivers and then we won't achieve the real objective, and that is understanding what happened and preventing it from happening again.
GWEN IFILL: Is that a weakness – that this is a full employment act for liability lawyers?
DR. JOHN EISENBERG: Absolutely not. In fact, I think what we'll see with this program is with the proper protections of the data, but disclosure of those very serious event, that the public will be protected, that the medical community will be able to learn from those errors and, in fact, the best protection against medical liability is to reduce the errors that cause the liability in the first place. We think this proposal will do just that.
GWEN IFILL: Let's go back to what the president proposed today. He is urging states to impose mandatory reporting requirements within five years, saying that would cut the error rate by 50 percent, urging how — what does that do and what happens if the states don't actually want to do it?
DR. JOHN EISENBERG: We've proposed that we have a three-year period during which we work with the states and the hospital community, to develop the best programs that we can develop. But we evaluate them to see if the best practices are best, to learn how we can put these programs together in the most successful way. Then in three years we evaluate how the states are doing, the success of the reporting system and giving information to the public that's valuable and learning from it and then we give a report back to the president from this inner-agency coordinating task force to give advice about what should happen next.
GWEN IFILL: Sounds like a lot of red tape that in the end doesn't take you necessarily where you want to go.
DR. JOHN EISENBERG: It's a cautious approach because we understand that the public wants to know this information but we want to be sure that the information the public gets is accurate information. We think this is the right start — a limited number of publicly disclosed events to start off and then to work with the states and others to find the best way of giving other information to the public.
CARMELA COYLE: And one of the good ideas included in the president's proposal is one that would have the government's agency for health care research and quality actually take a look at the existing systems out there today, evaluate them and understand why they're under-used. We've got a number of reporting systems today, both voluntary and mandatory, and what we know is they're not used well. One of the reasons is because of this lack of discovery and confidentiality protections.
GWEN IFILL: Do hospitals actually think this is a big problem or is this a perception problem?
CARMELA COYLE: This is a very serious problem and hospitals are taking that problem very seriously. We began work at the end of last year where hospitals across the United States have dedicated an initiative toward working specifically to prevent and reduce medication errors, which are one of the single largest causes and sources of medical errors in the United States. So we're serious about; it's an issue that must be addressed.
GWEN IFILL: Dr. Eisenberg, there are about half a dozen states, which already imposed their own reporting requirements. Do you have any track record for them? Do you have any idea whether what you're suggesting they do has worked in the states which have already put it in place?
DR. JOHN EISENBERG: We have a little information from almost 20 states that have mandatory programs in place now, and the early results from the research in that area shows that these programs can be successful in reducing errors and improving patient safety.
GWEN IFILL: They can be but are they?
DR. JOHN EISENBERG: Some of them are but in most cases we just don't have the research that tells us how successful they are and how they can be most successful. That's one of our plans is to work with the states, find out what works best and then disseminate that throughout the country.
GWEN IFILL: One of the things that this report says that doctors will now be asked to report is not only medical errors but also near-misses. What's a near-miss and how do you report one?
CARMELA COYLE: I think it's important to understand the distinctions in medical errors. There are those errors that result in serious harm or death of a patient. There are other adverse events, and then there are the so-called close calls where a mistake may have been made, but it did not result in any noticeable impact on the patient. It's critical that we begin to create reporting systems and encourage the voluntary reporting of those close calls because while it may have been a close call this time, we want to capture that, learn from it and prevent it from becoming a serious event in the future.
GWEN IFILL: And what is the incentive for the physician to report a close call when everything turned out fine?
DR. JOHN EISENBERG: Professionalism and the desire to do better and earn for future patients. What we think we can put together is a system of reporting that helps professionals and their patients do a better job of improving patient safety.
GWEN IFILL: Presume for a moment that the president's plan is not the beyond end all of this. What would you suggest as an alternative to address what you say is a very big problem?
CARMELA COYLE: Unfortunately Washington has oversimplified this issue into one of voluntary versus mandatory reporting, and the issue is much more complex than that. We think at the core of a successful system is this notion of protecting the information so caregivers feel comfortable talking about mistakes so we can learn from them. We also think that Washington has been focused on external reporting systems to outside organizations. There's a lot that can be done within healthcare organizations today, making certain that not only do we have systems in place to capture mistakes when they occur, but that we can share best practices of what are the components of those systems that really are most effective, share that across the United States and improve the learning from those mistakes into the future?
GWEN IFILL: Okay. The gauntlet is thrown to you then, doctor. What exactly — why can't the government step out of it and trust hospitals to fix this problem on their own?
DR. JOHN EISENBERG: We trust the hospitals that they'll do what they can. We think we can work together with the hospitals. And, in fact, the initiative that the president proposed today is a multifaceted one with every part of the government that's involved in healthcare quality, the Food and Drug Administration, the Defense Department, the Veterans Affairs, all working together with the hospital industry to see what we can do together to improve patient safety.
GWEN IFILL: If we don't know whether this has worked in the past and there is some disagreement about how this will work in the present, how do we know that we are actually doing anything to improve patient safety?
DR. JOHN EISENBERG: One thing we do know is that there are certain patient safety practices which have been demonstrated to work. They've been demonstrated to decrease errors and improve patient quality. And we've asked in the Health Care Financing Administration, which is part of the Department of Health and Human Services and runs the Medicare program, they're going to ask every hospital to have a patient safety program in place, that will be part of what they ask every hospital to do to participate in the Medicare program. And we expect the hospital industry will want to collaborate for us so that we can stimulate every hospital to put those patient safety programs in place, but not just that, to let the patients know which patient safety programs those hospitals do have in place.
CARMELA COYLE: And one of the things that we've already done is o send a series of successful practices, lists of things that are known to actually reduce and prevent errors to all 5,000 hospitals and health systems in the United States and to encourage them to use those practices. I think at its core what's really going to drive a patient's safety is when a doctor or a nurse comes to work everyday, they're coming there to help patients. They're coming there to care and to cure. When they make mistakes, it's a devastating experience for them, and it's part of this concept of professionalism. They have don't want those mistakes to happen.
GWEN IFILL: There is bipartisan legislation working its way through Congress that would address some of these issues. Is it something you would support?
CARMELA COYLE: The proposal that will ultimately come out of this I think we have yet to see. The president has a proposal on the table. There are a number of congressional proposals that are on the table and others that will be developed.
GWEN IFILL: Will any of them suit you?
CARMELA COYLE: I think most certainly. I think if the critical issue is addressed and that is ensuring the protection of this information and the confidentiality of the information so doctors and nurses feel comfortable talking about mistakes.
GWEN IFILL: Is there anything on the hill you can see yourself working with?
DR. JOHN EISENBERG: I testified this morning before a joint meeting of the Senate Health Appropriations Committee and the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, and I was very impressed by the bipartisan commitment on both of those committees to do a good job of responding to the Institute of Medicine report. And I think the same kind of commitment is in the House of Representatives. We're going to look very carefully at the legislation that's proposed.
GWEN IFILL: John Eisenberg and Carmela Coyle, thank you both very much.

Robin Thicke has reconciled himself to the reality that his marriage with Paula Patton is over, at least for now.
The crooner dropped by Hot 97 on Tuesday to talk about his album Paula, which is dedicated to the Baggage Claim actress. Given that the breakdown of their marriage has been highly publicized, Ebro Darden had to ask where things stand between Robin and Paula right now.
"Yeah, man. I try to keep most of that private, but I haven't seen her for fourth months," he told Hot 97 yesterday, adding that they're still in communication. "We're cool. She's the best girl in the world–a great mother and still a good friend."
With a lead single like "Get Her Back," many assumed that Paula was his attempt to patch things up with his estranged wife. He clarified, though, that it was actually his chance to lay out all of his thoughts on their relationship and their split.
"Just because we weren't ever together anymore, and I still had so much I wanted to apologize for and things I still wanted to take responsibility for," Robin explained. "That's pretty much what the album is about."
He added, "I also want to wish her well and let her know that she's a great person and she deserves to have a good life. So it's not all a negative album."
If anything Paula might give listeners a better peek inside his mind and emotions during their breakup because it seems like he blames himself for ruining their marriage.
"The album is exactly what happens when you lose the love of your life, and you're trying to figure it all out in your head, how you're going to get through it all," Robin said. "We had an amazing time together, but I just think right now, this is what's best as adults for our child and ourselves. "
After all of their years together, Robin told "Good Morning America" that he thought that making an album for Paula was the least he could do for her. While Paula is an emotional album to be sure, he wanted to end there to be bright and happy highlights throughout the project.
"I didn't want it to be all depressing, because I didn't want her to listen to it and make her sad only," Robin stated. "I wanted there to be moments where she had hope and positivity that her and I can both still have a great life, no matter what happens, and we'll be great friends and great parents."

Distribution center (DC) operations supervisors are employed primarily by retail companies. A high school diploma or GED is required for this position, and some employers require a bachelor's degree. Almost all employers will also require applicants to have at least a few years of experience in a managerial position, and familiarity with data-processing software and the Microsoft Office suite of products is highly beneficial.Read More...
Those in this position will often work on the floor, so a great deal of walking may be involved. The main responsibility of a distribution center operations supervisor is to maintain good workflow and ensure that employees are motivated and efficient; they communicate often with other employees, so strong communication skills are very important. They also provide feedback and teach employees about new methods, strategies, and policies. They must always aim to improve efficiency and quality of the work by identifying what should be changed or modified in the workplace and implementing plans for improvement.
Those in this position work with employees from multiple departments, such as shipping and stocking, and may be partially responsible for training and hiring new employees, as well.
Distribution Center Operations Supervisors report using a diverse set of skills on the job. Most notably, skills in Inventory Control, Operations Management, Inventory Management, and Document Review and Distribution are correlated to pay that is above average. Those listing Office Administration as a skill should be prepared for drastically lower pay. Document Review and Distribution and Inventory Management also typically command lower compensation. Those familiar with Inventory Management also tend to know Inventory Control.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Distribution Center Operations Supervisors with more experience do not necessarily bring home bigger paychecks. In fact, experience in this field tends to impact compensation minimally. Workers with less than five years' experience earn around $46K on average, and those who have five to 10 years under their belts see a higher median salary of $48K. Distribution Center Operations Supervisors with one to two decades of relevant experience report an average salary of approximately $54K. Distribution Center Operations Supervisors who surpass 20 years on the job report pay that isn't as high as one would expect; the median compensation for this crowd sits around $56K.

All 1190 owners it seems are going to eventually have real " adventures " if they don't tediously filter the gas at every fill up !!!
By the way while I am at it ..let me just say that the exposed -extremely vulnerable and way way cheap fuel petcocks and fuel pump (complete with hanging wires ) ..looks like it should be on a cheapo bike from China.
One of my petcocks leaked fuel!! Could have had a real blazing adventure with that bit..anyways..
onward to the 2015
if i'm not mistaken, is the ethanol wich is somehow interacting with the tank modifing it's shape, I know somebody was talking about it and for sure it was interacting with the safari, you can tel by the way is increasing it's volume
I am prefiltering every single drop of petrol while refuelling on my bike, don't see the big issue, some more time at the tank station, safe ride, pump will work forever. :)
the PE nonwoven is a unfortunately tring to save the paper jimmick in the pump, it is really toooo smal for such a big bore bike,
you can clean it with a solution of petrol and injector cleaner, let it soak for some 20 minutes, blow it from inside, than let it soak in clean solution again.
usually e middle clogged filter wil gain 85% of it's flow capacity on the forth wash, than you can ride safe some more miles :)
we do use a mix system on some bike, fuel ktm prefilter and external in-line fuel filter outside the tank
lot's of washing anyway if you don't prefilter at fuel cap :)
last bike I did, 990 with 3 tanks, ktm prefilter, bosch steel canister, 20/30 cap filters all around
my std work usually involves a self made prefilter, in line steel bosch out of the tank filter and 0 micron cap filter
this will work for a loooooooooooong time :)

Great for Family Reunions
By Nj2NC94
It was our 30th year family reunion this year and we wanted to make it very special. We used the tags to customized our bags, the message Family Name 30th Reunion, with the city and state was on one side, the other side was customized with the family names for our bags with the tee shirts and the gift bags that the elders received. The tags were easy to create and to attached to the bags. The process of distributing the tees was more organized by adding the tags to the bags, we could readily find the names and the family members were impressed with the tags.
