Red Wings whip listless Penguins
Penguins/NHL Videos
DETROIT -- NHL legend Gordie Howe visited the Penguins' locker room Monday at Joe Louis Arena to spend some time with Sidney Crosby.
The Penguins' captain would probably rather have seen Evgeni Malkin at an adjacent stall. Malkin has missed 10 games this season, and Crosby has failed to score in any of those contests. The trend continued against the Red Wings as the Penguins looked generally lifeless in a 3-1 setback.
Malkin isn't sure if he will play Wednesday in Washington. He skated briefly yesterday morning but looked uncomfortable and was immediately ruled out.
The Penguins could certainly use some kind of a spark, and a healthy Malkin might be a perfect remedy.
"I don't know what it is right now," Penguins defenseman Mark Eaton said. "The playoffs are coming, and we're not where we need to be right now. There's no doubt about that."
Although Malkin's numbers this season are down from the lofty standards he has set, his value is becoming increasingly clear. The Penguins are 3-7 in the games he has missed.
Perhaps more alarmingly, Crosby, who is tied with Alex Ovechkin for the NHL goal lead with 45, has produced zero goals and only three assists in the 10 games Malkin has missed.
"But Detroit was really good tonight," Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury said. "You have to give them some credit."
Indeed, the Red Wings looked nothing like a team that is barely in the Western Conference playoff picture. They looked like the Red Wings of old, only with a young twist.
Rookie goalie Jimmy Howard, a candidate for the Calder Trophy, stopped 26 of 27 shots in his 19th consecutive start. He has supplanted Chris Osgood as Detroit's top goalie. The only goal he allowed, Pascal Dupuis' 18th of the season, was a fluky play that saw Chris Kunitz whack at the puck before it beat Howard.
"I'm just having the time of my life right now," Howard said.
Fleury was actually considerably more dynamic for most of the contest. In the first period, he made a number of spectacular saves that were reminiscent of his last trip to Detroit, when he produced an epic performance in Game 7 of the 2009 Stanley Cup Final.
"You could see he was on top of his game," Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said.
Still, he allowed a Valtteri Filippula goal late in the first period. Filippula used Sergei Gonchar -- who endured a miserable evening -- as a screen and fired a shot past Fleury's stick side in the final minute of the first period.
"That one hurt," Fleury said. "I had played real well until then. You don't like to give up a goal like that at the end of the period."
Fleury would later give up two goals to the red-hot Henrik Zetterberg, one off a rebound and another on a wrist shot that the goaltender would like to have back. Zetterberg not only finished with three points but also played his customarily tough defense against Crosby.
"He's a very, very good hockey player," Bylsma said. "We saw that tonight."
Fleury was solid for much of the night, and the Penguins killed off all four Detroit power plays. Other than that, though, not many positives were displayed.
The Red Wings played with more speed and energy throughout the night.
"They were more desperate than we were tonight," Eaton said. "They really battled and played a great game."
The Penguins didn't show a whole lot of fight until after the game. Crosby and Zetterberg were involved in an altercation at the game's conclusion when Howard attacked Crosby from behind.
The hostile crowd, which chanted at Crosby throughout the game with disdain usually reserved for Philadelphia, and Howard's late actions only serve as motivation, Crosby said.
"I'm always motivated to play," he said. "When people say stuff, that just motivates you more."
A real shot of motivation could come when Malkin returns.
Whenever that is.
"We did some things well," Bylsma said. "But we weren't good enough."

UseNeXT and the Usenet
What is UseNeXT?
The service provided by UseNeXT can be compared to the services offered by an Internet Service Provider (ISP). In a similar way to how ISPs provide access to the Internet, UseNeXT offers access to the Usenet. Founded in 2004, UseNeXT has been growing constantly over the past few years and has now developed into one of the largest Usenet providers around. You can get more information on UseNeXT in the menu item: About UseNeXT
What is the Usenet?
The Usenet is a global discussion platform with several million users which has a similar structure to the forums commonly found on the Internet. In the so-called newsgroups, users can not only discuss various topics, they can also download files (binaries) saved on the newsservers at full DSL speeds.
Access software (a newsreader also called a newsclient) is required for easy access to the Usenet.
The Usenet was established by American students in 1979, making it older than the Internet. Originally, the Usenet was founded as an alternative to the Arpanet (a predecessor to the modern Internet). Although Arpanet played a decisive role in the development of the Internet, today most users are more aware of the Internet than its "older brother" - the Usenet. The name Usenet is an abbreviation for Unix User Network.
Currently, the Usenet has more than 100,000 newsgroups containing 6,000 terabytes of data and discussions from all over the globe; numbers which only hint at the sheer immensity of the Usenet!
You can get more interesting facts about the development of the Usenet since 1979 in: History of the Usenet.

This weekend Icons travel to Barcelona for an exclusive signing session with the wonderful Andrés Iniesta. It marks our second meeting with the little Spanish midfield master, having held our first signing together back in April 2011. Iniesta's remarkable trophy haul for club and country makes him one of the most decorated players on the planet at the age of just 27. But how did a shy, homesick boy from the Spanish countryside blossom into the world's best midfielder?
After years living in the shadow of his superstar Barcelona teammates, it is only in recent seasons that Iniesta's understated brilliance has received the recognition it deserves. Unsurprisingly, Leo Messi is the man grabbing the headlines this week for his remarkable five goals against Bayer Leverkusen, but without Iniesta, neither Messi nor Barcelona would be where they are today.
Iniesta grew up in Fuentealbilla, a small village in the province of Albacete in south-eastern Spain. The precocious talent he demonstrated as a boy in Albacete's youth teams brought him to the attention of scouts, and in 1996, a 12-year-old Iniesta was enrolled at Barcelona's fabled La Masía youth academy. Leaving home was heart-breaking for 'Andrésito', and years later, the midfielder confessed he "cried rivers" the day he was separated from his parents.
Slight, unassuming and pale-skinned due to a pigmentation problem, Iniesta is not in the mould of most modern football stars. But in his formative years at La Masía, his outstanding natural ability quickly caught the attention of numerous senior figures at Barcelona, notably his current manager, Pep Guardiola, club captain at the time. After watching a 14-year-old Iniesta in action for the first time, Guardiola - another graduate of La Masía - famously remarked that he had finally found someone who "reads the game better than me". Iniesta had won over his childhood hero, a full ten years before he became his coach in 2008.
Iniesta's rapid development continued, and he was called to train with the first team aged 16. That day, Guardiola turned to his teammate Xavi Hernández - a first team fixture already - and said: "You're going to retire me, but Iniesta will retire us both." With outstanding pace, vision, skill, and the ability to use his 5'7 frame to outwit larger opponents, Iniesta has proved to be everything Guardiola predicted. And more.
But rather than ousting Xavi from the Barcelona midfield, it is in tandem that the pair have excelled, at the heart of arguably the greatest club side in history. This time, Guardiola leads from the sidelines. Under his stewardship, Iniesta has been the creative hub of a side that has won 14 trophies in under four seasons, including a historic 'sextuple' in 2008-09. For European and World Champions Spain, the Iniesta-Xavi axis has proved equally devastating.
Short, sharp tiki-taka and intelligent movement are the Barcelona way, and Iniesta is its greatest exponent. But it hasn't always been easy for him to make his voice heard among Barça's bigger names. His versatility and willingness to play in any position for the team under former manager Frank Rijkaard meant he was often overlooked in favour of more extrovert personalities. Once a hindrance, however, his unassuming and humble character has now made him the best-liked player on the planet.
Iniesta's career so far has not been short of highlights, but two moments in particular stand out. For Barcelona, there was his stunning stoppage time winner in the Champions League semi-final against Chelsea in 2009, an unforgettable effort which sent Guardiola's side on their way to European glory. For Spain, meanwhile, he will never score a more important goal than his extra-time winner in the 2010 World Cup final against the Netherlands.
Iniesta's brilliance lies in the apparent ease with which goes about his job. Everything he does on the pitch looks natural, and his virtuosity brings out the very best in his teammates (watch his best assists here). Barcelona manager Guardiola has handed him greater responsibility since taking charge in 2008. The unparalleled success that has followed is no coincidence.

Q&AQ: Why is research in plant cell biology important?
Research in plant biology uncovers basic mechanisms of life that are universal to multicellular organisms including humans. Research in plant biology is cost effective as compared to research using animal models.
Q: How does this research benefit the public?
By uncovering molecular mechanisms that are common in plants and animals, knowledge of the small RNA-degrading enzymes can potentially be translated into designing therapeutic small RNAs to treat human diseases.
Q: What got you started in this line of research?
I've been fascinated with nature since I was little. I'd have to say that it is my desire to understand nature that got me interested in plant cell biology. I feel fortunate that over the years I've been able to contribute to this well-populated research field and compete with other labs in the world.
Q: What motivates you to succeed?
I am motivated by my desire to understand life. Another motivation for me is a desire to educate the next generation of scientists, encourage and nourish their interest in science, and spread the joy of doing scientific research.
Q: Which thinkers, speakers or books do you recommend for a general audience?
I would recommend Nobel laureate Barbara McClintock's scientific writings. McClintock remains a role model for me. It was she who developed the technique for visualizing maize chromosomes and used microscopic analysis to demonstrate many important genetic ideas.
Q: What books are you currently reading?
Currently, I am reading books about Rosalind Franklin, the scientist whose work was instrumental in revealing the structure of DNA. They are "Rosalind Franklin and DNA" by Anne Sayre; and "Rosalind Franklin: The Dark Lady of DNA" by Brenda Maddox.
Q: What are some of the hot topics of pursuit for researchers in plant cell biology? What are some of the big questions researchers are trying to answer?
Two come to mind right away: epigenetics and small RNA biology. Epigenetics is an aspect of genetic control that is important in human health. It refers to how some environmental influences can permanently activate or inactivate certain genes. RNA is a close cousin of DNA. Small RNA molecules play a role in gene regulation and expression. The successful application of small RNAs can enable the development of therapeutic applications for a variety of human diseases.
Q: What advice do you give to your students as they explore careers in your field?
I tell my students that this is truly an exciting time to be a plant cell biologist, given all the technological advances we have at our disposal to do research. I also tell them that keeping an open mind can help you make truly original discoveries.

You can download this application I made to play with the effect and input your own formulas on the fly. The zip contains twenty different formulas that you can open thru the menus of the application. The demo application also includes a formula for the brightness of the texture too, what allows nice effects. I guess you can extend this effect in many other ways, it's up to your imagination. Also, as a note, shaders are very powerfull today and you don't actually need LUTs, you can do all the calculations per pixel and include the time factor really inside the formulas.

A $12 Minimum Wage in Retail?
A lefty organization tries to repeal supply and demand.
November 29, 2012 - 12:00 am
Last week, just in time for the start of what yours truly and the vast majority of Americans call the "Christmas shopping season" — but which the press in virtual lockstep tags as the "holiday shopping season" — a policy analyst at a leftist think tank seriously proposed that all retailers voluntarily raise their employees' minimum wage to $12.01 per hour, or $25,000 per year for those who work a forty-hour week year-round.
The study ("Retail's Hidden Potential: How Raising Wages Would Benefit Workers, the Industry and the Overall Economy"; full PDF here) came from Demos, whose nice-sounding goal is to "make equality and democracy more than just ideals."
Though it is often characterized as "non-partisan," it boasts of "a partnership" with the openly liberal but really far-left American Prospect. Catherine Ruetschlin, the study's author, appears to have had some possibly scrubbed involvement with Occupy Wall Street, and to have been a leader of an unsuccessful 2008-2009 effort aimed at "ridding the New School from the tyranny of Bob Kerrey." Kerrey, the former Democratic U.S. senator, headed that New York City university for a decade before leaving when his second five-year term ended in January 2011.
According to her Demos bio, Ruetschlin "is currently completing a Ph.D. in Economics at The New School." Before she receives that doctorate, she should be required to retake Econ 101, especially those pesky sections dealing with the profit motive and the law of supply and demand.
I won't attempt to list all of the weaknesses in the Demos study; it would require at least a term paper to thoroughly expose them all. What I will address will more than suffice to discredit it.
In Ruetschlin's alternative universe, if retailers raised all employees' wages to at least $12 per hour, "the new floor would mean a 27 percent pay raise" on average for those earning below that threshold. Then, as if by magic, because of that increase and others granted to higher earners who would also demand to be paid more: "More than 700,000 Americans would be lifted out of poverty, and more than 1.5 million retail workers and their families would move up from in or near poverty." Employing her trusty Keynesian stimulus calculator, she further projects: "As a result of the economic growth from a wage increase, employers would create 100,000 to 132,000 additional jobs." And of course, the impact on retailers' operations would be minimal, because: "The cost of the wage increase amounts to $20.8 billion, or just 1 percent of the $2.17 trillion in total annual sales by large retailers."

Another man hesitates where "two roads diverged in a yellow wood" and takes "the one less traveled by." These poems are so familiar that it is almost painful to quote them. Others less well known are no less driven by impulse.
Will Tony Blair Teach At Harvard?
January 08, 2007
Here'sa dispatch from an online magazine out of London suggesting that Tony Blair will teach at the JFK School of Harvard University after he stops being the prime minister of the United Kingdom. He is certainly the most popular foreign politician in the United States, and the most recognizable. His American approval rating, if there is such, is probably also in the very high percentages. And I suspect that the reason he is so well-liked is that he is supporting America in the war the American people don't themselves support. That's counter-intuitive. But real.

Regime Change, Inc.
April 25, 2005
When the Rose Revolution began in the fall of 2003, there was little reason to hope for a happy ending. Twelve years earlier, the former Soviet Republic of Georgia had stepped from communism into civil war. The old Communist eminence Eduard Shevardnadze may have brought greater stability when he took over the government in 1992, but his corrupt rule also generated huge new pools of ill will among the populace. Some of this disgust manifested itself in small, peaceful street protests.

"Jeffrey Marx has used the most violent of American games to show how men and boys should dare not be afraid to look for love. I was tremendously touched by Season of Life." Frank Deford, Sports Illustrated
"In a warm, passionate story, Jeffrey Marx finds a boyhood hero who ends up leading him on a fascinating personal journey. This is a book that every father and son will enjoy." Christine Brennan, USA Today
"Season of Life should be required reading for every high school student in America and every parent as well." Carl Lewis, Olympic champion
"This is not a book you are just going to read and then forget about. You're probably going to read it again sometime. And you'll definitely want to tell family and friends about it. By sharing Season of Life with others, you will be helping to make this a better world." Ronnie Lott, NFL Hall of Famer

PSN Demos to Become Degradable?
09 Mar, 2010
Demonstration builds are a key instrument in building pre-release hype for a game, or to breath a bit of post-release buzz for a lesser known release. But creating a self-contained experience, while still teasing the fully-priced product, is a difficult task. Some developers, most often seen in Xbox Live's Indie Games library, time their demos: offering the full experience for a limited amount of time. Others block off all but the basic modes of play, giving the most streamlined version of the game. But a new patent from Sony, discovered by Siliconera, may add a new method to the demo madness.
Degradable demos, as they have come to be colloquially known, will offer the full-length, fully featured version of a release, in which the features or components will slowly be removed (measured by either play time or a set number of plays) until the player decides to pay the cost. Examples include a fully upgraded weapon by replaced with gradually weaker models, or with subtler aspects of the presentation like brightness and color depth fading as the player progresses.
Elder-Geek would like to remind our readers that patents are claimed and filed daily in great number, and are not necessarily concrete evidence of future products.
Is this kind of demo something you'd like to play with, E-Gs? Or are degradable demos too frustrating a concept? Comment with your thoughts below!

Rate Dr. Roger Kao
Dr. Roger Kao's Ratings
I saw Dr. Kao twice within 3 years for a colonoscopy. Dr. Kao spent a lot of time explaining to me about the preparation and the actual procedure itself. He provided me with several preparation options and genuinely showed concern for my discomfort. The anesthesia provided by his staff resulted in no pain during the procedure. I especially appreciate that Dr. Kao both told me and wrote down the test results as he knew I would still be groggy after the anesthesia. I have had this procedure done many times by multiple physicians, and Dr. Kao has clearly been the best gastroenterologist I have ever had. I strongly recommend this provider for you GI health needs.

I have had a history of constipation and bloating since high school, and recently it became quite painful. I have had extremely poor experiences with gastroenterologists in the past – multiple doctor visits only led to painful procedures (they didn't use drugs back then), frustration on my part and a lack of a diagnosis or help on theirs. That said, I was more than a little leery to see yet another gastroenterologist when my symptoms worsened. Both my cardiologist and gynecologist recommended Dr. Kao. He is the best and only gastroenterologist I would see. He scheduled a colonoscopy at the hospital. A few days later, Dr. Kao personally called me to give me the results and prescribed a medication and a probiotic, which is helping immensely. I would refer anyone to Dr. Kao. He listens, he spends a lot of time with you, treats you and your case individually and truly cares about his patients. Jennifer - Los Altos

January 16 2014
GMA kickstarts the 2014 with a bang as Kapuso TV and news personalities get recognized for their exemplary work in their respective fields. GMA Network won in several categories in the 12th run of the prestigious Gawad Tanglaw Awards.
In the field of radio broadcasting, DZBB received the Best AM Station award. Several Kapuso programs also received accolades in the field of news and public affairs. These include State of the Nation, which was named Best News Program, I-Witness, which was named Best Documentary Program and Wish Ko Lang, which was named Best Public Sevice Program.
GMA is also known for bringing cutting-edge lifestyle shows to the table. Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho was named Best Magazine Show by the Gawad Tanglaw.
Entertainment is definitely GMA's turf which is why it was not surprising that Magpakailanman was awarded Best Drama Anthology, while seasoned Kapuso actress Jean Garcia was named Best Performance by an Actress for her portrayal in the "Hinagpis ng Isang Ina" episode of Magpakailanman.
The most daring and phenomenal series that Philippine TV has ever seen, My Husband's Lover was also lauded. Cast members Dennis Trillo, Tom Rodriguez, Carla Abellana, Chanda Romero, Roi Vinzon and Kuh Ledesma won the Best Ensemble Performance in a TV series award.
GMA also received special awards, including the Developmental Communication Award for Comprehensive Reportage on Yolanda Tragedy, which was given to Ms. Love Anover. The youngest talk show host in the country, Ryzza Mae Dizon was the recepient of the BATA (Bibo, Aktibo at Talentadong Anak ng Sining) award.
Congratulations, Kapuso! We are proud of you!

Sportful 2nd Skin X-Lite Short Sleeve Base Layer
This pro-level mesh base layer was developed in conjunction with Team Tinkoff-SaxoBank. The body of the 2nd Skin X-Lite has an open mesh weave that is constructed from polypropylene. Sportful uses polypro because it is hydrophilic (water absorbing) and quickly transports sweat and vapor away from your skin. Beyond this, it is also one of the quickest drying textiles produced. What you end up with is a material that transfers perspiration away from your skin and holds it until it rapidly dries. Add a wide open mesh vent construction and you get a perfect summer base layer design.
The main complaint we hear about summer base layers is that they are simply too hot. Sportful's open mesh design provides unparalleled ventilation and air flow. It manages to do what a base layer should do without increasing your body temp. Arm sleeves, collar and waist are all properly finished with a flat stitch and elastic, so the garment will not bunch up or gather underneath your cycling apparel. Describe the 2nd Skin X-Lite in a word? Brilliant.
- Polyproleyne textile
- Open mesh construction
- Finished collar, sleeves and waist
- Most vented base layer we sell
- Used by Team Tinkoff-SaxoBank

Diamond Select Toys had much to show at Toy Fair 2014, and while much of it couldn't be photographed (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Minimates! Guardians of the Galaxy Minimates!), there was still plenty to take in. Coming soon from DST and Art Asylum are all new The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Godzilla, Sin City and The Walking Dead Minimates. There was also a TMNT bottle opener and pizza cutter shaped like Michelangelo, because a party isn't a party without a certified Party Dude. You can check out a selection of what DST had on display after the jump.
Wrap up your week with a host of Friday links.
Following the April 4 opening of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Diamond Select Toys and Art Asylum will have toys at the ready in both 2 and 7" scales. Yeah, there's plenty of Cap to be had, but the most important thing to glean from all this is that there's going to be a Batroc the Leaper minimate.
DC's heroes -- particularly Batman -- were the ones that got the big-screen treatment in this weekend's box office winner, The LEGO Movie, but that isn't stopping fans from bringing a few Marvel movie characters to life, too.
The team of Antonio and Andrea Toscano have lovingly recreated the first trailer for Captain America: The Winter Soldier completely in LEGO bricks and minifigures, and it's pretty doggone fantastic. Check out the video (and the original trailer for comparison) after the jump.
Riding the shield-slinging Captain America: The Winter Soldier promotional blitz that kicked off on Sunday, Gameloft has released its first trailer for Captain America: The Winter Soldier: The Official Game. Headed to iOS, Android and Windows 8 mobile devices on April 4 -- the same day the movie opens -- the new game promises "an original blend of combat action and flexible tactical options." The trailer is more straightforward, though, and simply shows Captain America smashing faces.
If the Super Bowl trailer for Captain America: The Winter Soldier didn't adequately whet your whistle for the new movie, then maybe a new batch of photos from the film will pique your interest.
Marvel has a new gallery of images (set to autoplaying music, you should be warned) that showcase not only Chris Evans as Steve Rogers/Captain America, but Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Anthony Mackie as The Falcon, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, and Sebastian Stan as The Winter Soldier himself. In fact, it's probably the best clear look we've gotten at the character. Check out the images (with no autoplaying music) after the jump!
As promised, Marvel debuted a trailer for the upcoming Captain America: The Winter Soldier during today's Super Bowl. Following the recent release of more set photos and character posters for the film, this latest trailer gives fans a further look at the sequel, including a closer look at the Winter Soldier.
You can check out the trailer after the cut.

After some time thinking about it I decided to buy a sewing machine.Looking at the basic models, some allow you to modify the stitch width and others not. Is this an important feature for the typical MYOG projects?
Start cheap and see how you like it, at the end of the day so long as you can straight and zig-zag stitch thats about all you will need as a beginner.I purchased my s/hand for $15.00, works great.The ability to do rolled hems is also nice however with some practice you can get quite good at it with a normal foot on your machine.Keep us updated on how you go and what you end up making.CheersMark
Thanks Mark for the suggestions. As you points out, my idea is to begin with a sewing machine as simple (and cheap) as possible.
Agreed, straight stitch and zigzag are all you need. It doesn't even need to be very powerful since ultralight materials are thinner/lighter than most clothing and certainly less than traditional camping gear.I would suggest looking on craigslist for a used, non-computerized, totally mechanical sewing machine, but not an antique (made before 1950?) Look for one with a traditional bobbin, not a 'drop in.' Get new needles and do a cleaning and lube job on it. Try it out, if it doesn't stitch well, check the thread tension, both top and bobbin. If it still doesn't then it may need a trip to the shop.
Of course, it depends what things you want to make with your sewing machine: lightweight tarps etc, or clothing.I'd suggest the following additional features can be useful for clothing:- ability to sew an edge-locking seam up to the edge (without needing trimming). This is useful for fleece seams; the first machine I borrowed (a Toyota) did this. The machine I bought (without thoroughly testing: bit of a 'Buffalo Bill' moment with the old biddies working in the sewing machine area of the department store...) had an edge-locking stitch, but it can't sew up to the edge, so seams have to be trimmed afterwards.- ability to adjust the foot pressure, to cope with thicker materials (fleece again).
Thank you everyone for the suggestions and advice. Very helpful stuff.I hope to soon have the sewing machine to start a simple project!
Edited by marcoasn on 09/28/2009 10:27:20 MDT.
Foot pressure is useful, but my experience has been that fleece is a pain to sew. I never was able to get good results, maybe i need some tear away carrier or something to give the feed dogs something to grip.Edge-locking (serging?) is useful, but i've managed to use french seams for my clothing projects (ala thru-hiker.com's designs.) I've also done it with a zig-zag stitch that overshoots the edge slightly.

ELIZABETHTON, Tenn.— Sycamore Shoals Hospital (SSH) recently received national recognition for an innovative hand hygiene program called BUMMER that has been awarded an Honorable Mention and $1,500 cash prize in the Spirit of Excellence Awards, co-sponsored by Sodexo Health Care Services and Modern Healthcare.
Bugs Under Medical Management to Eliminate Resistance (BUMMER) is a campaign designed to increase compliance in hand hygiene and use of personal protective equipment. When SSH team members saw the need to increase hand hygiene compliance in 2011, a team was appointed to find a way to raise the rates. As a result of BUMMER, compliance rates are now close to 100 percent, earning the hospital recognition among 172 nominees in the 20-year-old Spirit of Excellence Awards program designed to honor health care organizations and individuals for creative programs that serve patients and communities.
According to Leslie Johnson, RN, infection prevention practitioner and a member of the Hand Hygiene Team, one of the keys to success has been keeping employees accountable. Increased access to hygiene products and providing evidence-based educational tools to staff also is part of the program to raise awareness.
"BUMMER has been so successful at Sycamore Shoals Hospital that it has been rolled out system-wide at Mountain States Health Alliance," said Johnson. "Almost all cases of infection can be avoided by strictly following hand hygiene policies, so BUMMER is an important way to ensure protection for our patients."

The Team
As a child, Josh experienced constant terror living in a haunted house. Almost nightly he would witness a tall shadowy figure standing in his bedroom doorway as he tried to sleep, just standing and watching with glowing red eyes. Voices, shadows, and strange feelings would be common place in the different houses Josh lived as he grew up, as well as into adulthood, and because of this it fueled his interest in finding out more about what these experiences are and what it could mean.
After doing some personal investigations by himself, he decided to form a group whose goal it was to get real evidence of the paranormal as well as helping those who feel they are experiencing activity figure out what is actually happening in their homes and what they can do about it. Because of their collective and shared experiences Josh, his father, Dave, and mother, Jan, all became paranormal investigators.
As the founder and lead investigator of the North East Paranormal Society, Josh has had the ability to do exactly what he set out to do, and to this day continues to be fascinated and amazed with what is captured on investigations as well as enjoying the opportunity to give others answers and peace of mind.
Dave's paranormal experiences began as a young boy within his childhood home. One of his most common experiences was that he would frequently hear footsteps going to the attic area when no one was home. Even his mother would experience things as well. One night while she was alone in her bedroom she was physically pushed by something unseen.
The paranormal phenomena continued into Dave's adult life. He and his family at one point lived in a house that had a lot of intense paranormal activity (the home where Josh would see the shadow man). He would clearly see shadows day or night and hear unexplainable sounds of windows slamming shut. While he did not understand why these instances occurred, unlike Josh, he never felt threatened or scared. Because of the culmination of all of the paranormal events he witnessed, he joined his son Josh in organizing and establishing the North East Paranormal Society. Just like Josh, his goal is to assist and help others experiencing these types of phenomena as well as try and document quality evidence of the paranormal.
Dave and the rest of the group pride themselves on being a source of help to others troubled with paranormal activity.
One of Jan's first paranormal experiences occurred decades ago during her teenage years. Her grandmother passed away and shortly following her transition to another place Jan would see her body in full color. At that time she was more concerned what seeing her grandmother meant and if she was trying to communicate a message to Jan than being scared or unsettled. This experience led her to seek the assistance of a psychic to find answers.
Over the years, similar unexplained instances occurred. It may have been hearing voices, seeing shadows and figures or the off feeling from a specific room or location. Awhile back, Jan listened to a recording that her son, Josh, captured on a hand held recorder. The clarity in the voice by the unknown spirit was unquestionable. She found this to be very exciting and found herself wondering if this soul needed help. What could be done? Thus began her research into the paranormal and spirit world.
Jan joined her husband Dave and son Josh to become the third family member investigator in NEPS.
Ever since Barb was a small child, she has always had a strong interest in the paranormal. Whether she was reading a book about ghosts or watching a documentary on TV, she has always been intrigued by the personal experiences that people reported and because of that had had a strong desire to figure out what is really going on when people have these experiences.
Barb feels very fortunate that she became a paranormal investigator with the North East Paranormal Society. She is thrilled to be part of the group and believes strongly in their mission to take a professional, scientific approach to help people understand the paranormal phenomena they may be experiencing. Barb brings a thoughtful, caring point of view to the investigations as well as a good eye for debunking.
Throughout her life, Sheree has been fascinated by everything paranormal. Her passion for all things supernatural goes back to watching spooky movies, television programs, and playing ESP games with her dad. While she enjoys reading extensively on the topic, watching educational programs and movies, and attending seminars and séance's, she finds talking to people who have had their own experiences the most rewarding.
Her education in psychology and career in human resources provides her with good communication and analytical skills, attention to detail, and experience in working with a variety of people, often in difficult and sensitive situations. She is also very interested in animals' behavior and experiences and how they fit into paranormal situations. Her compassion for people and all sentient beings are valuable in any investigation.
Sheree's investigative experiences prior to joining NEPS include working with nationally known experts and investigators at a variety of historic locations. She's experienced a variety of phenomena including capturing EVPs (Electronic Voice Phenomena), hearing disembodied voices, seeing untouched doors open and doorknobs rattle, and sudden large changes in temperature. She is excited to be working with NEPS. Who knows, perhaps we all knew each other in a previous life.
Jody's interest in the paranormal stems from early childhood experiences. Growing up she saw apparitions in her own house and over the years has experienced many unexplained things that she is always in search of answers to.
She has done a lot of reading and course work on various topics in the field including the paranormal and psychic development. She also completed the Paranormal Studies course offered by the NEPS team to help further her investigative skills. Her main goal is to try and understand why spirit energy is left behind in certain locations and if there is a message these spirits are trying to relay as well as to help families who are dealing with these experiences.
Prior to joining the team she has investigated at some well-known haunted historical locations such as The Stanley Hotel (famous for The Shining) and The Bird Cage Theater in Tombstone, Arizona as well as various locations in New Orleans.
In the few months since joining the team she and her fellow teammates have had some "interesting" experiences on investigations and have captured EVPs, anomalies in photos, heard some unexplainable sounds, and possibly even detected some objects moving on their own.
Jody has a background in computer science, which comes in handy with some of the newer recording equipment used in investigations. She is excited to work with a group of talented people who share the same abilities and goals.
A native of the Hudson Valley region in New York, Denise has been interested in the paranormal from an early age. An avid lover of books and black cats, Denise gravitated to ghost tales as a child and even wrote short stories before the age of 12! It was about this time that Denise first became aware of her intuitive nature and unique ability to see things that others could not. In the years since, Denise has continued to listen, dream and develop this spirituality to guide both her and others' paths. As a member of NEPS, Denise looks forward to further honing her skills, assisting with the team's investigations and making new friends (wherever they may reside).
We are not looking for any full-time investigators at this time. However, if you help us get an investigation, then you can help us investigate!

Singer/songwriter The-Dream has deleted both of his Twitter accounts after a recent interview he did that outraged Ciara fans.
During the interview, The-Dream did with Parlour Magazine, he talks about working with the songstress and seemingly implies that she was in a place in her career where it was either sink or swim.
"There's an expectation of where Ciara should be in her career," said Dream during the interview. "To others, she's achieved but not to us, because we saw where her career was headed. But now she's back on the horse."
"When she first came out I, like Lil Jon and Jazze Pha, understood exactly who she was. It was that whole Atlanta vibe because if I'm not Atlanta, no one is. I knew if I had a chance to get with her creatively, there's a specific type of swagger that she's got. Tricky [Stewart] and I did her whole album, but it's not all shallow songs like Ride. There's play time but there's substance too, it's a great listen."
Ciara's fans though didn't appreciate the insinuation that their beloved star needed any help with her career and apparently let Dream know it by bombarding him with tweets. He defended himself by explaining that those who read the interview didn't read the context, but apparently that didn't help and he ultimately decided to delete his accounts.
"It's sad how we take things out of context…And if I said it's Ciara's last chance it's because we all — me, [Tricky Stewart], and C beloved [had] — our backs against the wall…Look up the word context. And also become familiar with the phrase 'taken out of context' it helps…I believed in Ciara when every1 else walked away and talked sh*t I love her that's my sister! Actions speak louder than words," he wrote on Twitter.

People gathered for the 2012 Grand Voyage Zoobilation black tie event held at the Indianapolis Zoo on Friday, June 8, 2012. Around 5,000 people were in attendance for that benefit. Zoolala organizers are hoping their new event turns into a Zoobilation for young professionals. / Indianapolis Star
The Indianapolis Zoo's up-and-coming leaders are hoping to host their Central Indiana counterparts at a new event next month.
Zoolala, presented by Lockhart Cadillac, is aimed at emerging and aspiring community leaders. The goal: Create an opportunity for young community leaders to rub shoulders in a fun social setting while supporting the Zoo.
The inaugural event, which will be from 7:30 p.m. to midnight Feb.2, will include food, drinks and music (from DJ Lockstar and The Flying Toasters) inside the Dolphin Gallery at the Zoo. (Dress for the event is formal and all guests must be at least 21. )
The Indianapolis Zoo's Associate Council will host the event. Founded in 2011, the group is made up of emerging area leaders, dedicated to supporting the Zoo and animal conservation by participating in fundraising and volunteer activities, according to the zoo.
Organizers are hoping to turn Zoolala into something of a Zoobilation for young professionals, said Jon Glesing, public relations director for the zoo.
Zoobilation, the zoo's annual summertime bash for thousands, sells out annually and is considered one of the city's best black-tie summertime parties.
The theme for the first-ever Zoolala is "Taking Flight," giving a nod to both the new organization and the Zoo's newest permanent exhibit, Flights of Fancy: A Brilliance of Birds presented by Citizens Energy Group.
Tickets are $125.00 per person and can be purchased through the Zoo's website, Indyzoo.com.
Call Star reporter Cathy Kightlinger at (317) 444-6067.

Lullaby paroles
Paroles de la chanson Lullaby :
I know the feeling
Of finding yourself stuck out on the ledge
And there ain't no healing
From cutting yourself with the jagged edge
I'm telling you that
It's never that bad
Take it from someone who's benne where you're at
laid out on the floor
and you're not sure
you can take this anymore
So just give one more try to a lullaby
and turn this up on the radio
if you can hear me now I'm reaching out
to let ou know that you're not alone
and if you can't tell I'm scared as hell
'cause I can't get you on the telephone
So just close your eyes
well honey here comes a lullaby
your very own lullaby
Please let me take you
Out of the darkness and into the light
'cause I have faith in you
you're gonna make it through another night
stop thinking about the easy way out
there's no need to go and blow the candle out
because you're not done
you're far too young and the best is yet to come
Everybody's hit the bottom
and everybody's been forgotten
and everybody's tired of being alone
everybody's been abandoned
and left a little empty handed
so if you're ut there barely hangin'on

Pope Benedict XVI greets U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta after the pontiff's weekly general audience in Paul VI Hall at the Vatican, on Wednesday, Jan. 16, 2013. Panetta was in the front row at Wednesday's weekly general audience in the Vatican auditorium. Panetta, a staunch Catholic, is in Rome as part of a weeklong swing across Europe, meeting with defense ministers to talk about ongoing conflicts in Afghanistan and Mali. This is expected to be Panetta's last overseas trip as Pentagon chief, as he long has planned to step down once his replacement is confirmed. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin)
Pope Benedict XVI listens to speeches during an audience with foreign ambassadors to the Holy See, at the Vatican, Monday, Jan. 7, 2013. The pontiff urged diplomats to supply urgent aid to Syria to relieve civilian suffering, while expressing hope that Jerusalem would become "a city of peace and not of division."

Pope Benedict XVI delivers his "Urbi et Orbi" (to the City and to the World) speech from the central loggia of St. Peter's Basilica, at the Vatican, Tuesday, Dec. 25, 2012. Pope Benedict XVI has wished Christmas peace to the world, decrying the slaughter of the "defenseless" in Syria and urging Israelis and Palestinians to find the courage to negotiate. Delivering the Vatican's traditional Christmas day message from the central balcony of St. Peter's Basilica, a weary-looking and hoarse-sounding Benedict on Tuesday also encouraged Arab spring nations, especially Egypt, to build just and respectful societies.

Gregorio Borgia / AP Photo Pope Benedict XVI waves to faithful during the "Urbi et Orbi" ( to the city and the World) message at the end of the Easter Mass in St. Peter's square, at the Vatican. The uproar caused by reports that, as an archbishop years ago in Germany and later as a Vatican cardinal, Benedict and his aides were slow to defrock abusive priests, cannot be explained as the church equivalent of Watergate with the pope in the role of U.S. president.

Pope Benedict XVI waves from his popemobile as he visits the Nativity St. Peter's Square at the Vatican, Monday, Dec. 31, 2012. Pope Benedict XVI marked the end of a difficult year Monday by saying that despite all the death and injustice in the world, goodness prevails. Benedict celebrated New Year's Eve with a vespers service in St. Peter's Basilica to give thanks for 2012 and look ahead to 2013. He looked tired during the service and used a cane afterward - an indication that the busy Christmas season may be taking a toll on the 85-year-old Benedict. (AP Photo/Andrew Medichini)

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) April 28, 2013
Exhibitors around the world are always looking for innovative display graphics that stand out from the crowd, grab attention, and help them attract customers. Of course, these products need to be portable, lightweight, and easy to set up. In addition to popular display options such as table cloth, pole signs, and hop-up display walls, Sunrise Digital introduces a retractable banner that looks awesome, easy to use, and can be set up by one person without using any tools.
Also known as pop-up banner, banner up, or roll up banner, the retractable banner is one of the most versatile solutions in exhibit graphics. It typically consists of the banner stand hardware case, a full color printed graphic, support poles, and a carrying case. While this general bundle is available from many sources, Sunrise's Retractable Banners are head-and-shoulder above the competition in a few ways:
Turn-key Display Solution
Sunrise's retractable banner is available in three different widths, 31.5", 35.5", and 39.5", all with a 83.25" display height. Multiple units can be placed side-by-side to form a portable display wall. It comes loaded with a custom printed graphic, a padded carrying case with shoulder strap, and an outside shipping carton. Sunrise also goes the extra mile of labeling each layer of packaging with a miniature graphic for easy identification.
Quality Hardware Construction
Many cheap stands are made with plastic parts to save cost. Because a plastic case is not stable, they often require swing-out legs to stablize the base, which can be a health hazard since it's easy for people to trip over these legs. Sunrise's stands are made of fine quality aluminum, which is strong, lightweight, and extremely stable, designed for years of use and re
