Mid Staffs suspends worker over taped dummy incident
Mid Staffordshire Foundation Trust has suspended a member of staff after a dummy was found taped onto a baby's face.
The revelation represents fresh trouble for the trust, ahead of the imminent publication of the Mid Staffordshire Foundation Trust public inquiry report and question marks over its financial sustainability raised by the regulator Monitor earlier this week.
In a statement, Colin Ovington, the trust's director of nursing and midwifery, said: "Fortunately, the baby was unharmed. The incident is under investigation by the police and so we are unable to give any more information at the moment.
"A member of staff has been suspended pending the outcome of the Police investigation and the Trust's investigation under our disciplinary policy."
He added: "We have a zero tolerance approach to poor patient care and we take immediate, appropriate action as soon as we know about any potential serious incidents which happen in our hospitals."
In a statement, Staffordshire Police said: "Officers from our Protecting Vulnerable People Department are at the very early stages of investigating a complaint concerning the treatment of a baby boy by a member of staff at Stafford Hospital earlier this month.
"The baby boy, who was four months old at the time, was not harmed as a result. We are liaising closely with his family and the NHS Trust concerning the matter."
Robert Francis QC has revealed his public inquiry report will be published on 6 February.

You honestly wouldn't expect this type of story - even if somehow it has been 'scrambled' - to emerge from somewhere under as much existing scrutiny as Mid Staffs, would you ?!
you wouldn't expect in anywhere in a hospital or involving registered nurses, would you?
Argghhhh! Hopefully staff at Mid staffs now feel safe to report their moron colleagues.
it is hc professionals who should undergo regular mental health tests rather than their patients of a certain age!
Appalling, as a RSCN I am shocked and saddened to read this.
Appalling. Thank goodness they have Colin in charge everyone needs to be very clear he will not stand for this I know I have worked with him. Staff should be empowered to deal with this disgraceful type of behaviour in any trust not just Mid Staffs. Sadly until we get our recruitment right & staff are confident to challenge there will always be someone somewhere who thinks the 'rules' of compassion & caring does not apply to them.

I've just read something about this in the DT - I'm fairly sure a Mid Staffs nurse said 'we are proud that we now take action and immediately report this sort of thing' (rather misses the obvious point that this particular incident presumably should never have occurred).

Yes but these things and worse do happen and are happening aren't they, which is the whole point.
To work in an environment where one feels safe to report their concerns of bad practice, bad culture, is in the words of Neil Armstrong
'one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind'.
NMC suspends nurse after meningitis baby death error - NT article
- makes me wonder what you have to do to get 'struck off'. When you display a total contempt for another humans suffering you only get suspended.
if you murder somebody intentionally you only get a few years in prison
if you kill or badly injure people on the road because you were careless or chatting on your mobile you hardly get punished at all
what about the poor woman who stopped to help at an accident. two of the injured asked if they could wait in her car for the ambulance. when she turned round she saw the fire brigade had cut the roof off her Audi to get the two wounded out as they were frightened to move them in case they had spinal injuries - no question of letting them get out the way they got in! Their insurances refused to pay for the women to replace her car!

Quite, Tink - that is a huge part of this problem ! As we both know, as indeed do many others.
I feel sorry for those at Stafford Hospital who do go in and do their jobs properly in difficult circumstances only to have complete idiots let the side down. That Hospital is struggling to repair it's dreadful reputation and the last thing they need is this kind of incident. Lets hope whoever did this to that baby gets the sack, they must not be allowed to carry on working there. This Hospital has to be seen to take tough action.
It is strange how so many, mainly anonymous, nursing staff have condemed the nurse concerned without any information except what was available in the national press. We know nothing about her / his experience or intention. Yes I agree it was very bad practice , a foolish and seeminly cruel thing to do. However maybe the nurse had given the baby its dummy several times and each time it had fallen out as is probable in a four month old. The child was without a parent present so had no one to comfort him. Perhaps the nurse used the tape to stop the dummy slipping out - to comfort the child. Perhaps he or she is not the most evil incarnation as one would think if one reads the press. Perhaps he or she was just trying to do his or her best but without adequate supervision, training or experience. Just a thought.....
Carol Ellison | 26-Jan-2013 8:45 pm
rather a strange comment since to date there are nine comments with a user name, and six anonymous comments and not single one of this latter group have condemned the nurse despite such a shocking report whether correct or not! If it is inaccurate then the journalists are at fault.
is this another bash against anonymous commentators?
Carol Ellison
I have read some pretty weird post on NT !
But never before have I seen someone attempt to justify abuse, especially of a child !
This child is reported to have been suffering from bronchiolitis --- having consulted my nurses dictionary I am fairly confident that this big word means the baby had problems breathing !
Obstructing the babies airway by taping a dummy in the child's mouth could have had a fatal outcome.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND Ms Ellison?
Ms Ellison ---It is comments such as the one you posted which justify the Daily Mails campaign against Nursing -
Sadly I begin to believe more of what the Mail print.
Time for those professionals who believe that taping dummies to babies mouths is unacceptable (as is all forms of patient abuse) to root out those who say it is OK or who attempt to excuse such practise.
These people have no right to call themselves nurses
Carol Ellison
What professional intelligent Nurse would truly think it was a good idea to tape a dummy in a baby's mouth??!!!
I don't care how many times that dummy fell out, and i don't care if the subsequent crying annoyed the nurses no end, what they needed to do was comfort the poor mite not gag him/ her!
Was it a nurse? It doesn't actually state it was, just says a member of staff...

I have just been Googling to see if NHS publish their own newspaper but find no such publication. I find this surprising for a national organisation of this size and purpose considering many of the hospitals employ a PR team. I would have thought they should publish news articles to report on their activities to the public and to avoid much of the inaccurate reporting and speculation in the media.

Sean Pettit

Sean's Details
About Sean
Unlike many young action sports athletes of today, Sean Pettit didn't burst onto the scene - he's been there. At the tender age of 11, he began skiing at a professional level. Two years later, the then thirteen year old made a decision that skiing was a definite career. Quietly honing his skills at Whistler-Blackcomb for years, Sean became recognized years ago by companies like K2 and Oakley while he was still in his formative years.
Now officially an adult, Sean has already recorded some major wins in the world of skiing. Even though 2010 brought with it a solid part in MSP's film The Way I See It, a second-place finish in the Red Bull Linecatcher and also bragging rights as the Red Bull Cold Rush Champ, he doesn't plan on letting up and has even bigger plans for 2011 that kicked off with a win just two weeks into the year at Red Bull Linecatcher in January.
A broken thumb sidetracked him for most of February but he is back skiing and has his eyes set on putting together yet another solid part for MSP and to regain his crown at Red Bull Cold Rush, this year taking place in its new home in Silverton, Colorado, March 14th to 18th.

The top comments talking about China's first aircraft carrier, the Liaoning, are hilarious. From the Yahoo article about the carrier anchored in the northern port in Qingdao:
-On Wed. nights the galley features all you can eat American food………
-"The Chinese purchased this ship, in response to a really bad Kung Foo movie, that was posted on U-tube (that the President disproves of) and we will throw the movie maker in jail, on trumped up charges" (USA State Dept official statement)
-I heard they bought it off of craigslist.
-And the President is discussing his options, with his main security expert ( Oprah) this very minute……
-"Permanent base" don't you mean "dealership" ?
(radio ad spot) "Those pesky Americans and Israelis got you down, Abdul ? Got a few trillion barrels of oil burning a hole in your pocket? Common down to Honest Wang's Happy day Aircraft carrier, and ballistic missile emporium, where "terrorist" are treated like family, and democracy is a "dirty word" ……call to arrange YOUR test drive, today!"
-Batteries not included.
-I hear that you can rent it for parties, weddings, or third world wars!
-it has a sweet ramp for making jumps
-Qingdao (青岛)is also a pretty good beer. It is written on the label as Tsing tao. Well worth a try.
-Don't they know its bad luck to rename a ship.
How ironic, even they did not want anything "Made In China".
-Qingdao?… Good beer…
Qingdao (青岛) is both the carrier's name and beer name? Kind of like the USS Coors?

No injuries have been reported after fire erupted at one of the Midwest's biggest greenhouse operations in Camden Township, about 18 miles east of Norwalk at U.S. 20 and Ohio 511..
Lorain County officials said someone called in to report the fire around 5:20 Tuesday night.
Firefighters from 12 departments, including Wakeman, helped to tackle the intense flames at Ohio's Green Circle Growers.
Overnight, smoke could still be seen billowing from the greenhouse. An office, seed house and 25 greenhouses were burned. The main office off of U.S. 20 and all of the greenhouses in the front of the complex were untouched. All of the fire was contained to the back of the property. Cars filled the parking lot at the main office and it appeared to business as usual before 8 this morning.
Green Circle Growers supplies plants to stores including Home Depot and Wal-Mart.

As expected, the Helper City Council on Thursday awarded the contract for the first phase of its infrastructure rebuild to low bidder Condie Construction of Springville. Unexpectedly, however, the council served notice that there will be change orders on the job to trim hundreds of thousands of dollars from the cost.
Condie's bid of close to $4.8 million was the lowest, but design engineers advised the council that the master plan called for Area One improvement to be $3.5 million. Eric Franson of Franson Civil Engineers said that if the cost difference were to extend to all seven reconstruction areas, the city would have to find millions of dollars more than the $19.5 million it has raised in grants, loans and self-generated funds.
"We designed a nice, top of the line, full-blown Cadillac," explained Franson, by way of comparison. However, it looks like some of the features in the original design will have to be modified to match the realities of Helper's finances. "I think we're loaned out," stated council member Gary Harwood, meaning that the $12.5 million the city is borrowing from the Permanent Community Impact Board is the limit of its bonding capacity.
Harwood's colleague Chris Pugliese agreed. "We'll have to sit down with you guys," he told Franson, and work on some revisions. Franson said there may be 15 to 20 items that could be adjusted without jeopardizing the overall integrity of the system.
The engineer told council members that the plans contain multiple redundancies for added security. The extras include such things as three main access points to the sewer main, so that if one was blocked or damaged the other two could keep it working. Perhaps two would be enough. There's also a plan for 9,000 linear feet of curb and gutter on the drawing board, but only 3,000 feet are deemed critical for flood control.
Then, too, the plans have called for running the water and sewer lines through alleys. However, the city has vacated many of those alleyways. While it maintains a utility easement, access would be complicated because of development that has taken place over the years.
Area One, which is downtown Helper east of US-6 except for Main Street, was expected to be the toughest phase of the city-wide project. This is where problems with sewer and flooding have been most noticeable, and it is also the backbone of the sewer system's access to the Price River Water Improvement District's wastewater system.
The next bid opening is for Area Four, the neighborhood around Helper Junior High School west of the highway, on March 21.

No wonder . Once bitten twice shy .
I believe they cancelled some orders as well. Thats huge. Boeig really screwed themselves.
Watch for order cancelations and Air Bus Orders .... But why would, they not fill the service with other long rang aircraft ?
They probably have a solid booking structure so when a plane goes down the flight gets cancelled.

|ASU Continues Spring Workouts
|Written by Mike Flynn
|Wednesday, 02 March 2011 08:34
Appalachian State University football moved into the second third of its spring-practice season on Tuesday when it held the sixth of its 15 spring sessions at chilly Kidd Brewer Stadium.In what will likely be its next-to-last outdoor practice of the spring, Appalachian worked for over two hours on the soon-to-be demolished KBS turf. The practice began with comfortable temperatures in the low 50s but quickly became much colder as the sun began to set behind the Appalachian Athletics Center.
Working in full pads for only the second time this spring, the Mountaineers spent the final 40 minutes of Tuesday's practice doing 11-on-11 drills. A strong day overall by ASU's defense, which mainly utilized the three-man fronts (both 3-4 and 3-3-5 packages) that it has installed as part of its overall schemes this spring, highlighted the full-team drills. In particular, linebacker Karl Anderson had a very impressive day, breaking up a handful passes over the middle and making several tackles, including at least one behind the line of scrimmage on a blitz.
Other defensive standouts included defensive linemen John Rizor and Dan Wylie, who were both in on multiple tackles for loss, and defensive back Ed Gainey, who recorded the only takeaway of the afternoon when he picked off a pass by sophomore quarterback Jamal Jackson, who was flushed out of the pocket by a strong pass rush from ASU's front seven.
Offensive highlights included:
• strong performances by a pair of players working at least part-time at new positions — redshirt freshman Logan Hallock and junior Terrence McLean. Hallock, who spent last fall exclusively at quarterback but has been working in at wide receiver as well as QB this spring, made several catches as a wideout on Tuesday, many of them in traffic over the middle. McLean, who spent his first three years in the program on the defensive side of the ball, has moved to running back this spring and enjoyed another nice day at his new position on Tuesday with several strong runs to go along with a handful of catches out of the backfield.
• senior running back Travaris Cadet, who turned in perhaps the biggest offensive gains of the 11-on-11 periods with a couple of long runs. On one of the big carries, he received good blocking up front from ASU's mostly young offensive line, then made several would-be tacklers miss as he worked his way deep into the defensive backfield.
Appalachian practices twice more this week before the Mountaineers get next week off for spring break. The NCAA-allowed 15 practices conclude on March 23.
NEW TURF DESIGN FINALIZED, INSTALLATION TO BEGIN THIS WEEK: Wednesday's practice will likely be the last outdoor session of the spring for Appalachian, as the replacement of Kidd Brewer Stadium's eight-year-old FieldTurf playing surface could begin as early as Thursday.
Kidd Brewer Stadium will be one of the first venues in the nation to feature FieldTurf's new 'Revolution' playing surface, which features the latest technology to give ASU most player-friendly yet durable field available.
The field design features Appalachian's familiar Block A logo at midfield, the recognizable Appalachian State wordmark in both end zones and alternating shades of green every five yards to give the artificial surface the look of a freshly mowed grass field.
Also as part of the project, the field's crown will be removed and the high-jump pit that currently sits beyond the south end zone will be moved to the other end of the field to allow for the installation of additional stadium seating in the north end zone (in front of Owens Field House).
The removal of the old FieldTurf surface has been delayed by a couple of days but will begin this week, possibly as early as Thursday, and the installation of the new field is scheduled to be completed in plenty of time for the open of the fall sports practices in August.
GoASU.com will document the removal of the old playing field and installation of the new FieldTurf surface throughout the process. Additionally, the old surface, where the Mountaineers compiled a 55-4 record during the field's eight-season lifespan, will be cut into pieces and sold to fans. Details on the sale of the old turf will be finalized and made public in the coming weeks.

MORE
May. 27, 2012
Voters in Egypt are losing enthusiasm and giving way to apathy faced with what seems like an impossible choice between Ahmed Shafik, a conservative Islamist with a rigid social agenda, and Mohamed Morsi, a former minister with deep ties to the Mubarak government. MORE
May. 26, 2012
Mohamed Morsi and Ahmed Shafik emerge as the final candidates in Egypt's presidential election, each garnering roughly a quarter of the votes, forcing a runoff; Morsi, backed by the Muslim Brotherhood, is seen to embody the growing power of political Islam, while Shafik, the last prime minister under Hosni Mubarak, espouses traditional Egyptian values of military-backed order.

Polls conducted by Egypt's military-led interim government show growing support for Ahmed Shafik, a former air force general who was the last prime minister appointed by President Hosni Mubarak before his ouster; Hamdeen Sabahi, a socialist and Arab nationalist earns a surprising second-place finish in the early returns of Egyptians voting abroad.

|Landlord jailed following dispute
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Tuesday, 26 June 2007 18:18
A landlord was jailed after a dispute over rent ended
in alleged theft.
Deputies were called to a Millers Creek home in Wilkes County when Shelly Holliman and Richard Bryant returned home to find that their landlord, Terry Wayne Jennings, had allegedly carted $1,000 worth of video games and other assorted property, to the landfill. Other items missing include kids clothes, a microwave and dishes. Altogether, the two claimed their property was worth over $5,000. Jennings was charged with breaking and entering and theft after deputies examined the rental agreement and found that Holliman and Bryant had two days to pay their rent.

Jon Niese effectively used all of his pitches against Atlanta
In last night's 6-5 win over the Braves, Jon Niese allowed a run on six hits with two walks and six strikeouts in eight innings.
Niese improved to 9-6 with a 3.67 ERA in 23 starts this season.
"It seems like he has a rough [start] and then he gives you exactly what you need, a good outing," Terry Collins said after the game. "Right now to get us back to there we want to be, we need a lot more of it."
Niese has pitched at least six innings in each of his last 13 starts – he's pitched in 144 2/3 innings and has averaged just under 6 1/3 innings per start this season.
"I might have had a rough game here and there," Niese explained about his performance this season. "But for the most part I feel like I've been working on the things I need to work on and executing when I need to execute. You can't do it every time, obviously, but for the most part I feel like I've been able to do that this year."
Niese nearly took a no-decision thanks to a shaky performance by the bullpen in the ninth inning – Josh Edgin and Frank Francisco combined to allow four runs before Jon Rauch recorded his second save of the season.
"It was tough [watching the ninth inning], I can't sugarcoat that by any means," he explained. "The [bullpen] got the job done, and that's all that matters. I think we're going to enjoy this win and go after the Reds."
Michael Baron, ContributorNiese has been most successful this season when he has effectively mixed in both his curveball and cutter from start to finish. He did just that last night and had one of his most impressive outings of the year. In the fourth inning of his start against the Marlins last week, he got burned by his curveball on three separate occasions. Yeah, he didn't execute it well, but he also wasn't particularly creative with his pitch selection either. The adjustment he made after that inning was that he began mixing things up and he left the Marlins befuddled for the most part. It seems as though he carried that adjustment into his start against Atlanta last night, and it worked wonders for him.

Vintage "Home Queen" sewing machine
My grandmother passed away a few years ago, and we came across a Vintage "Home Queen" sewing machine.
I tried to do some internet research, but little information I could find. I went to a few antique dealers, and didn't have any answers. They just told me it was a "Rare item"
Does anyone have any input or knowledge of this type?

Hi and thanks for writing. This is a "private label" Sears product. Apparently major retailers at the turn of last century had relationships with established sewing machine manufacturers who would supply standard models but with the name of choice substituted for the normal brand name. The "Home Queen" was a badged version of National's Model Vindex B Top Tension. Sears' main competitor, Montgomery Ward, carried the exact same model under the "Brunswick" label. Sears sold this model from about the late 1890s through early 1900s. For more information on antique private label sewing machines, please click here.

Darn Tough
- 9 Items
- 9 Items
Over a quarter century ago, Ric and Mitch's dad opened a mill in Northfield, Vermont and began making socks. Frigid winters and humid summers taught them at an early age that not all socks are created equal. The socks being made at the mill kept their feet cool in the summer and warm in the winter. They didn't bunch up or itch. Ric and Mitch skied, hiked and biked their brains out - oblivious to the elements. Over the years, they have tweaked and modified their performance sock design to perfection. They've added Merino Wool and CoolMax so they breath and wick. Also added, is Wickit Dry Technology to move moisture away from your skin and create a sock that is outrageously tough. These socks have been put to the test all over Vermont's rugged landscape and they've proven their resolve.
The products in the Darn Tough category have an average rating of 5 of 5 from 2 customer reviews.

I see him as a late guy in the bullpen and if he can improve his control he could be a closer.

Just like David Hernandez he will hit mid 90s in a short stint. Aside from his inability to get out of an inning in less than 20 pitches he has never been in proper shape. Get him condition and keep him to two innings or less and he might be productive.

Should I bargain for everything?
Usually, fixed prices are the norm in department stores, while bargaining is expected at most other places. Generally, you can obtain a final figure of between 10-40% lower than the original asking price. Much depends on your skills and the shopkeeper's mood. But remember, Thais appreciate good manners and a sense of humor. With patience and a broad smile, you will not only get a better price, you will also enjoy shopping as an art.

Vaccaro: Mike Piazza belongs in the Hall of Fame
In his column for the New York Post, Mike Vaccaro believes Mike Piazza belongs in the Hall of Fame.
"I voted for Piazza," Vaccaro explains. "I voted for him because he was the best offensive catcher I ever saw, because he assembled one of the greatest — if not the greatest — offensive resume of any catcher ever born. And though he has long been caught in the vortex of whispers and rumors about PED use, there has yet to be a credible complaint lodged against him."
Piazza hit 396 home runs as a catcher, the most in Major League history. He hit 427 home runs in his 16-year Major League career.
Piazza also has the highest slugging percentage, tenth best batting average, 13th best on-base percentage, and fourth most RBI among catchers in Major League history. He was a 12-time All-Star, won the Rookie of the Year Award in 1993, won ten Silver Sluggers and finished in the top 10 of MVP voting in seven seasons.
The 2013 inductees to the National Baseball Hall of Fame will be announced on January 9.
Michael Baron, ContributorThe Hall of Fame has become so controversial in recent years, and the negativity around it is unfair to everyone from the fans, to those that are in, and to those that deserve to be in. An argument can also be made that fringe players have been inducted who don't belong, and that has softened the meaning of election. I wonder if advanced metrics are diminishing the other important aspects of what a Hall of Famer is. Advanced metrics should certainly play a role in the evaluation – especially as the game and the measurement of players have evolved – but there is no metric to define what a player meant to the history of the game, and that can easily be forgotten when using stats as the sole measurement for a vote (which many of the voters have done). In the case of the Hall of Fame – which is a sacred place filled with baseball history in a historical town – that stamp on the game's history should have an equal footing in the discussion. In the past, I believe it did, the stats (including advanced metrics) supported the decision, and a player's election had more meaning and exclusivity.
As far as PEDs are concerned, it's disappointing to listen to and read the accounts from the writers (who are the voters) talk about whether Piazza used. I also did not like that they discussed their ballots before they were due. I don't believe writers need to be influenced before their ballots are due; this is their industry, they have known these people while they covered them, and they should be able to draw their own conclusions privately. When it comes to the issue of PED's, suspicion and belief shouldn't be enough to impact a decision to vote for a player or not, In Piazza's case, that's all it is: suspicion. He was never named in an investigation, and never was seen with any materials to conclude he was using. It seems to have become a "guilty until proven innocent" situation for him and others, and that's not fair for any player.
I really hope Piazza gets in on Wednesday. He deserves to be in Cooperstown. If he is elected, I plan on being there for the ceremony at the end of July…

For now the advertising on the radio and newspaper are done and the voting machines are all being gathered in storage for November. But the ramifications that took place during the primaries on Tuesday will be with the county and the state for a long time.
In the local county commissioner races, incumbent Democrat John Jones beat in-party challenger Kyle Edwards 1,263 to 815 when the votes were tallied.
In the other race for a commission seat that is being vacated by Bill Krompel after over two decades of service, newcomer David Palacios out polled long time local resident Dennis Dooley 1,366 to 682.
Both races were hotly contested in the Democratic primary as Republican challengers Travis Blackburn and Jae Potter, respectively, were almost forgotten about during the many ads and campaigns stops made by the Democratic candidates. Both Blackburn and Potter won their party's nomination at the county convention in April, leaving them out of the primary limelight.
For county recorder, incumbent Democrat Vikki Barnett overcame a strong primary campaign by Stacie Romero to not only get on the ballot in November, but for all purposes win the election to the post outright since there are no challengers filed in that race from other parties for that seat in the November election. That tally was 1,319 to 721.
At the state level, Democratic Congressman Jim Matheson overcame a statewide campaign by party progressives to put Claudia Wright on the ballot in November verses a Republican and two unaffiliated candidates. Matheson won his contest in Carbon County 1,656 to Wright's 414 and in the second congressional district as a whole came in with a 68 percent majority margin over the challenger (21,380 to 10,274) with 98 percent of the district's reporting as of Wednesday morning.
In the only Republican primary race on the docket, Carbon GOP voters went for Mike Lee (220) over Tim Bridgewater (193). Statewide Lee also won by less than a 2 percent margin by beating his opponent 92,544 to 88,560 (with 99.2 percent of the districts reporting).
Now candidates from the various parties will begin to campaign for the final election on Nov. 2, where they hope to be elected to fill the positions they have run for on Jan. 1, 2011.

Comments about Jackson SLATXMG3-6 Soloist Electric Guitar:
There is a typo either here or on the Jackson site. The Jackson site says its a mahogany body. And judging by the weight I would say mahogany as well.
Guitar came in flawless. Very slick looking, comfortable, slim body, slim neck. Mine needed a little setting up. Bridge pickup sits pretty high and some fret buzz. Stays in tune very well. Have had it for 4 months and only the high E string has gone out of tune.
Even though it is mahogany, the slim body keeps weight down. It doesn't get uncomfortable playing while standing. The neck is very solid. And even though it has a gloss finish, the neck doesn't feel sticky.
What I don't like is how low profile the bridge and fret board is. I like when they are a little more elevated off the body. This goes hand in hand with the pickups sitting high. I would just like a little more clearance.
All in all a good product. I give it 5 stars because my complaints are subjective. The features and quality this guitar has for the price is all I feel I should rate it by.

Jack was employed by Carbon County coal mining companies for several years before leaving to pursue his passion - raising, showing, and racing championship quarter horses. He had ranches in Scofield and Preston, Idaho.
Jack was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He valued formal ties to his faith later in life, but exemplified from his early childhood the virtues extolled by prophets through the ages. He was always honest, obedient, helpful, charitable, full of hope, and hard working. In short, Jack was an honorable man in every circumstance.

(Jan 08, 2013) On December 26, 2012, China's Supreme People's Court and Supreme People's Procuratorate jointly issued a judicial interpretation on the crime of giving bribes to state functionaries. (Text of the Interpretation [in Chinese], Supreme People's Court website (Jan. 4, 2013); The Interpretation of the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate of Several Issues Concerning the Specific Application of the Law in the Handling of Criminal Bribery [unofficial English translation], Covington & Burling LLP (last visited Jan. 7, 2013).)
The term "state functionaries" is defined by Chinese law to mean persons who perform public service in state organs. Other persons who perform public service in state-owned enterprises, state institutions, or people's organizations, as well as persons who are assigned by state organs, state-owned enterprises, or state institutions to private companies, enterprises, or institutions to perform public service are also deemed state functionaries by the Criminal Law. (Criminal Law promulgated by the National People's Congress on July 1, 1979, revised on Mar. 14, 1997, effective Oct. 1, 1997, last amended Feb. 25, 2011, art. 93, Xinbian Zhonghua Renmin Gongheguo Changyong Falu Fagui Quanshu [New Complete Frequently-Used Laws and Regulations of the People's Republic of China] 6-9 (2012).) Previously, government officials who took bribes were prosecuted more frequently than persons giving bribes. (Luo Meihui & Tang Juntao, Dangqian Chachu Xinghui Anjian de Xianzhuang, Yuanyin ji Duice [Current Status of Prosecution of Giving Bribes and Its Reasons and Resolutions], JCRB.COM (Nov. 11, 2010).) Issuance of the Interpretation may imply broader prosecution of bribe-givers in the future.
According to the Interpretation, any person found to have paid a bribe of more than RMB10,000 (about US$1,600) to a state functionary to seek illegitimate benefits will be criminally prosecuted in accordance with the Criminal Law. (Interpretation, art. 1.) Under ordinary circumstances, conviction entails a fixed-term of imprisonment of not more than five years or short-term detention. (Criminal Law, art. 390.)
When the circumstances are "serious," the punishment may be raised to a fixed-term of imprisonment of five to ten years. "Serious circumstances" normally refers to the amount of the bribe being more than RMB200,000 but less than RMB1 million, according to the Interpretation. If the amount is less than RMB200,000 but more than RMB100,000, the circumstances may still be deemed to be serious, if the bribes are given to state functionaries in certain areas, including the food, drugs, safe production, and environmental protection administrations, and the acts seriously harm the public interest and endanger people's lives and property, or if the bribes are given to officials in law enforcement departments, judges, or prosecutors, which affects administrative enforcement and judicial justice. (Interpretation, art. 2; Criminal Law, art. 390.)
The punishment may be as severe as life imprisonment or a fixed-term of imprisonment of not less than ten years, together with confiscation of property, if the circumstances are "especially serious." The Interpretation defines as "especially serious" cases in which the amount of the bribes is more than RMB1 million. If the bribes are less than RMB1 million but more than RMB500,000, the circumstances may still be "especially serious" if the bribes are given to state functionaries in the above-mentioned types of areas. (Interpretation, art. 4; Criminal Law, art. 390(1).)
The Interpretation further provides that where a bribery case is uncovered because a briber voluntarily confesses the bribery act before he is prosecuted, the punishments against him or her may be mitigated or waived, which is in accordance with Criminal Law article 390(2). (Interpretation, art. 7.) Bribers are also encouraged to report other criminal acts of state functionaries who take bribes; if such reports are found to be accurate, the briber's sentence may be reduced, mitigated, or even waived. (Interpretation, art. 9.)

Are apples better than oranges?
Are apples better than oranges?
I prefer oranges actually but good point.Are apples better than oranges?
Yes, it's all about preference ...I prefer oranges actually but good point.
I agree. There are ups and down for both. I like Linux better than FreeBSD, but Open/NetBSD are on the exact smae line as Linux IMHO.
I don't know about linux being better than FreeBSD or vise-versa, but Linux has better hardware support which helps when you can't build a box that FreeBSD completely supports.
NetBSD is cool!
linux has superiour hardware support, and since linux 2.4.10 it no longer trails BSD when it comes to virtual memory managment
BSD is better for server end tasks. Much more robust. For workstations, my vote is for Linux.

Part of playing any instrument is setting it up on the stage or in the studio to keep it ready to go when the performance begins. For guitars, that means stands. Made in practically as many varieties as the instruments themselves, guitar stands are available in all sorts of shapes and sizes to suit your needs in terms of how many guitars you'll be loading onto them and where they'll be used. The tubular stand is probably the first thing that pops into your head when you think about guitar stands. These are seen everywhere, and for good reason: they're simply an effective and convenient holder for your guitar. Tubular stands can be had in single, double, triple and even quad arrangements, allowing you to have as many as four guitars at your side if you like to switch between electric and acoustic, or simply to change to the guitar best-suited to each song. Need even more space? A rack-style stand is probably for you. Racks can hold anywhere from 3 to 7 guitars with ease depending on their size, which makes them perfect for music classrooms or studios with a whole library of guitars to store. Collectors will also make good use of racks, as well any guitarist bold enough to bring so many guitars to the stage for a single gig. Some racks come in flightcase or guitar case style, which is great for a touring band or even if you just want that plush case aesthetic in your jam room. On the other hand, maybe your travel arrangements make big stands impractical. When you don't need a giant rack and you want to save even more space than you can with a tubular stand, it's all about the A-frame. These compact little stands can be so small they'll even slip easily into a carry-on or gig bag pocket. Peak Music Stands also makes a compact model called "The Dome" for the small and light crowd. Big or small, there's a time and a place for any stand. Whether you're getting ready to go on tour or just furnishing a studio, take into account the number of guitars you need to hold and choose the style you like best. From there, picking out an individual stand should be a piece of cake.

Ike Davis says he's healthy, and preparing properly for 2013
Today on WFAN, Ike Davis admitted, "I was pretty bad," to start last season, so he understands why some fans and media felt he should have been sent to the minor leagues.
However, because he was rehabbing from ankle surgery last winter, he wasn't able to run much and feels he lost a lot of athleticism in advance of Spring Training, which was further complicated by 'stuff in his lung,' and potential Valley Fever.
This is why he was totally out of rhythm for much of the first half of last season, he explained. Eventually, he got stronger and healthier, and was able to put together a better plan at the plate.
This winter he's been training properly, the Valley Fever situation is behind him, and, he says, "I'm healthy, which is exciting, because I haven't been this healthy in two years."
Davis, 25, hit .201 with 12 HR and 49 RBI during the first half of last year. In the second half, he rebounded to lead the National League with 20 HR, 41 RBI and hit .255.
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
I think this marks the official start of The Best Shape of His Life season, right? It's early this year, but is still nice to hear.
Davis should be a 30 HR guy who, on the right team, can drive in around 100 runs. I don't ever expect him to hit more than .270, but at around .250 with a .340 OBP, and those power numbers, he'll still be among the best first baseman in the league… not to mention how well he plays first base.
I really look forward to seeing a full, healthy season from Davis, who should be on deck for his own contract extension next winter.
