Small Hospital's Financial Ratios Show Effects of Industry Reforms
This may sound obvious, but Standard & Poor's Ratings Services is reporting that not-for-profit small hospitals' median financial ratios were mixed in 2012, in alignment with the degree of success these hospitals have had in responding to sweeping reforms in the healthcare industry.
S&P credit analyst Avanti Paul said in the report that median revenues, cash flow, and other measures of financial health reflected two diverging trends.
"Some hospitals were able to improve their margins and maintain balance-sheet flexibility despite their limited revenue base while others have been unable to cope with volume declines, physician turnover, or the costs of implementing electronic health records," Paul said.
S&P reports that higher-rated hospitals' financial profiles are getting stronger, while lower-rated hospitals are weakening. "We expect this trend to continue in the next two years if, as we believe, incremental credit pressures, such as continued volume declines and reimbursement constraints will continue to build and as a result test hospitals' performance, and likely lead to more mergers," S&P said.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

Yutaka Kobayashi
this wiki
|This article is about a/an actor in Kamen Rider Gaim.
|Yutaka Kobayashi
|March 19, 1989
|Born in
|Shiga Prefecture, Japan
| Kaito Kumon
|Kamen Rider Gaim
Kamen Rider Gaim Gaiden
Yutaka Kobayashi (小林 豊 Kobayashi Yutaka?) is a Japanese actor who played Kaito Kumon/Kamen Rider Baron in Kamen Rider Gaim, as well as his doppelganger Shapool in Kamen Rider Gaim Gaiden: Kamen Rider Baron.[1]
He was born on the same day as the broadcast of episode 20 of Kamen Rider Black RX which, in a humorous coincidence, featured a monster who favored the banana, Baron's primary fruit motif.
Since 2010, Kobayashi has been a member of the music group BOYS AND MEN.
After Kamen Rider Gaim, Kobayashi has moved on and landed in a role for Aichi Policemax, where he plays a policeman.
He currently stars in Why Can't Seiya Todoin, 16-Year-Old, Get a Girlfriend? with Kamen Rider Taisen star Itsuji Itao.
He celebrated his 25th birthday while filming for Gaim's twenty-ninth episode. [2]
In recent interview in Hyper Hobby magazine, Kobayashi revealed that he loved the Kamen Rider Series, which is why he wanted to take this role to become one. He also wanted to pick up this role to open up a path in his acting career as some of the hottest actors were once Kamen Riders. Kobayashi even went for a motorcycle license for this role.
He also said that he used to watch Kamen Rider Ryuki as a kid and was happy that Kamen Rider Gaim would feature multiple Riders like Ryuki. He mentions that he is the complete opposite of his character in Kamen Rider Gaim and he's been working with Baron's suit actor, Eitoku about the character.
In the same interview, he revealed his dislike for bananas and why he stopped eating it. It started after he participated in a marathon and he only ate bananas that day. At the end of the day, he felt sick and blamed it on bananas. After accepting the role for Kaito Kumon, he realized he should overcome his dislike for bananas.
Kobayashi also revealed that he auditioned and had been casted in the role of Captain Marvelous from Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger but turned it down for another project. The role was later given to Ryota Ozawa, who he admitted that they look alike.[3]
Besides acting, Kobayashi also has a specialty in baking. He can be seen in the official Kamen Rider Gaim website's net spin-off called Yuta Cafe, a spin-off series that involves the usage of fruits to bake pasteries. He also invited several cast of Kamen Rider Gaim to eat his pasteries he baked while talking about their role and involvement in the series. [4] This is also demonstrated on-screen as Kaito in Kamen Rider Gaim Hyper Battle DVD: Fresh Orange Arms is Born! and as Shapool in Kamen Rider Gaim Gaiden: Kamen Rider Baron.

The Appalachian Trail is famous for its many hikers, some of whom, called thru-hikers, attempt to hike it in its entirety in a single season. Many books, memoirs, web sites and fan organizations are dedicated to this pursuit.

Trans Canada sounds too cold. The reason I picked the appalachian trail over the pacific or rocky mountain trails or the alaska is the amount of communities you walk through on the Appalachia. You can restock on food and supplies due to hikers ditching their gear at the stop points. But also trail love. It just sounds like a personal test and three months of not working and living in the wilderness will be incredible. People werent meant to sit in a cubicle in a soulless job every day.

About Me
I was born and raised in the Washington, D.C. area, and completed my university studies in New York City. I've spent time abroad in Argentina, Hong Kong, and Spain - and I've loved learning from many amazing community actors in these and other places around the world! I believe that everyone has the right to be idealistic, hopeful, and pragmatically engaged in making our world a more welcoming and interconnected place. Trying new foods, reading poetry, running in the summer, dancing of all sorts. Cooking good Chinese vegetables, taking pictures that reflect the world as I see it, reading something new every day. International sustainable development writing, climate justice, indigenous land reclamation
My Vision for the Future
I hope to see everyone discussing a right to dignity like one would discuss a right to food or water.

The more frequently you monitor your portfolio, the more likely you are to observe a loss. This is likely to cause short-sighted decisions and could hurt your investment performance. If you are checking your portfolio more than once per quarter, you're doing it too much.

This movie holds the record for most Oscar wins for a film that didn't win Best Picture (8) - in fact, it considerably outperformed
The Godfather
, the film that won that year. And while a lot of people would now give the latter film more of the total Oscar haul,
's reputation has held up over the years. Unforunately, I just didn't like it that much. A big part of that is Michael York, who is just so, so boring. Liza Minnelli is very strong as the lead, but I just had a hard time caring about anybody.

text: Pennsylvania Department of Transportation With A Higher Number Of Motorcycle Crashes In August, Officials Urge Caution By Deanna Garcia • Aug 24, 2015 Matt York / Associated Press With the back-to-school season upon us, many are starting to mourn the end of summer, but there are at least a couple months of warm and mild weather ahead – which is perfect motorcycle weather. "Summer riding season for motorcyclists runs roughly from April to October." This is when we see the majority of motorcyclists on our roadways," said Juliann Sheldon, a spokeswoman for the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. PennDot to Mail New Licenses After Finding Security Flaw By Michael Lynch • Feb 27, 2015 PennDOT Some Pennsylvanians will be receiving new driver's licenses after PennDOT officials learned Wednesday a vendor error led to security flaws in more than 100,000 cards. According to PennDOT, the laminate supplied by Morpho Trust USA and its subcontractor OpSec, did not include the correct hidden security image. Viewed under an ultraviolet black light, proper licenses show a row of keystones with the letters "PA." The defective cards read "AP" instead. PennDOT Asks For Feedback By Jess Lasky • Dec 1, 2014 The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation has released a draft of its long-range transportation plan and is asking for public feedback. "This is a plan that looks far into the future to help set the vision and direction for where we want our transportation system to go," said PennDOT spokeswoman Erin Waters-Trasatt. "So it goes beyond a list of projects or future enhancements. It looks at things like where we want to go as a whole." Law Enforcement Targeting Aggressive Driving in Pittsburgh Region and Beyond By Deanna Garcia • Oct 27, 2014 Starting now, law enforcement agencies across Pennsylvania will be targeting aggressive drivers. Each year, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation funds local efforts to crack down on behaviors such as speeding, tailgating and running red lights. "Some people call it road rage, we call it aggressive driving," said Juliann Sheldon, a PennDOT spokeswoman. "We see a vast number of accidents because of these road rage issues. By changing driver behavior, that will help to decrease the number of crashes and fatalities we see on our roadways." P3 Approves Compressed Natural Gas Fueling Stations By Talia Kirkland • Sep 30, 2014 Pennsylvania's Public-Private Partnership (P3) Board has approved a project to develop compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling stations at public transit agencies around the state with the expectation that the public would be able to access the fuel. Despite importing 75 percent of its natural gas just five years ago, Pennsylvania has become a net exporter of the fuel for the first time in more than 100 years. Senator Casey Pushes Short-Term Highway Funding Patch By Jessica Nath • Jun 26, 2014 According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, there could be a shortfall in the highway trust fund (HTF) as soon as mid-July. For much of the country, that could mean a halt to construction on bridges and roads. "What we're facing in transportation is the transportation equivalent of a government shutdown, it is that simple, but it is that stark and disturbing if folks don't start (to) surrender some of their predispositions on what should happen next," U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) said. PENNDot Calls for Spring Cleaning By Julian Routh • Mar 9, 2014 Spring cleaning isn't only for homeowners. It's for the state, too. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation has teamed up with the Department of Environmental Protection for its annual Great American Cleanup of Pennsylvania running now through May 31. The cleanup calls on volunteers and groups to help clear litter from roadways, trails and shorelines across the commonwealth. PennDOT Shells Out Road Salt to Help Municipalities Running Short By The Associated Press • Feb 4, 2014 The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation says it's supplied about 6,000 tons of road salt to municipalities that have run short this winter. The highway department said Monday its salt stock stood at about 382,000 tons, with some 145,000 tons still to be delivered. In an average winter, PennDOT goes through about 800,000 tons, but this year's series of storms has the department going through road salt more quickly than usual. Corporations May be the Bridge Between Government and Infrastructure By Nick Frost • Sep 30, 2013 Thiopene / 90.5 WESA Listen Listening... / 8:22 After the House failed to pass a plan to pay for roads, bridges and mass transit last June, there is renewed speculation about another possible vote on a transportation funding proposal. Renewed interest in lobbying efforts stems from the imposed weight limits on over 1,000 bridges in Pennsylvania. Starting Wednesday Night, Inbound Liberty Tunnel to Close Until Aug. 30 By Michael Lynch • Aug 13, 2013 The inbound Liberty Tunnel will close around-the-clock Wednesday at 10 p.m. until 6 a.m. Aug. 30. PennDOT Begins Latest Phase in Route 28 Construction Project By Michael Lynch • Aug 5, 2013 The 44,000 motorists that travel Route 28 daily between Pittsburgh and Millvale can expect some additional congestion, as the fourth phase of a major reconstruction project begins Monday. Traffic on northbound and southbound Route 28 will be shifted into new configurations between East Ohio Street and the 40th Street Bridge. Click It or Ticket Seatbelt Blitz Starts in Pennsylvania By Deanna Garcia • May 20, 2013 Deanna Garcia / 90.5 WESA For the next few weeks, law enforcement officials throughout the commonwealth will be stepping up enforcement of the state's seat belt law. It's an effort to get more people to buckle up.

Gavin Rothery's wonderfully grim and atmospheric short film.
This is something that has been bugging me ever since reading the book:
While Andy Weir does a good job of representing the risks faced by Mark Watney, stranded on Mars and confronting one life-threatening challenge after another, he is silent on the threat of radiation, not just to Mark but particularly to the crew of the Hermes as they contemplate executing a daring rescue mission that more than doubles their time in deep space.

In an annual ritual on April 11th Walker adds another box to the mission.

Design fictional biohacking.
A gorgeous sci-fi short film with some fine interface porn.
The influence of science on science-fiction and the influence of science-fiction on science. Or rather, how science-fiction mods science, and how science (and software) mods science-fiction.
Yet even as it has become ever more familiar and commonplace, this mash‐up of the word "science" with the word "fiction" still seems to insist on a certain internal incoherence, as if the tiny typographic space inside the label of "science fiction" were to signify a vast chasm, a void between alien worlds.
Julian Bleecker explains design fiction in the context of science fiction using the examples of gestural interfaces and virtual reality.
The Paleofuture blog, that excellent trove of past visions of the future, has a corresponding video channel. The first episode is all about food.
Two lawyers attempt to answer the legal questions raised by the fictional conceits of superheroes. What is Superman's immigration status? Who foots the bill when a hero damages property while fighting a villain? What happens legally when a character comes back from the dead?
A personal ode to cyberpunk.
A fantastically detailed look by Michael at the evolution of the design of Chewbacca.

$55 for a family of 3?
I think I did my best when grocery shopping for the week. I didn't have any coupons.
I spend $200-225 per week for a family of 4....I am trying to cut that in half. I won't buy a lot of processes foods. I buy a lot of fresh fruit and veggies which is expensive. I don't know how you ladies do it but I'm jealous!
That's really good. My husband likes to buy the deli meats and that raises the cost of our grocery bill.

Mitt Romney
Romney's New Anti-Obama Ad Gets PolitiFact's 'Pants On Fire' Rating
With a 9 percent U.S. jobless rate and housing values that continue to fall in many markets, Mitt Romney's campaign could arguably just work with the facts on hand to land some sharp blows on President Obama's economic stewardship.
But apparently the Romney campaign felt like the mere facts weren't enough for a new campaign ad that went up in New Hampshire Tuesday, timed for Obama's visit to the Granite State.
The negative ad drew a "pants on fire" penalty flag from the referees at PolitiFact for taking a comment Obama made during the 2008 campaign so completely out-of-context that it created a patently false impression.
The ad misleads by using a snippet from a stump speech by then-Sen. Obama.
PolitiFact provides the entire passage for context:
"Here's what Obama said in the October 2008 speech, which came about two weeks before he defeated Sen. John McCain:
" 'Even as we face the most serious economic crisis of our time, even as you are worried about keeping your jobs or paying your bills or staying in your homes, my opponent's campaign announced earlier this month that they want to 'turn the page' on the discussion about our economy so they can spend the final weeks of this election attacking me instead,' Obama said in the speech. 'Sen. McCain's campaign actually said, and I quote, 'If we keep talking about the economy, we're going to lose.' "
The Romney ad takes just one sentence and makes it appear that Obama was saying that the economy was his Achilles heel and suggesting that it was better for him to avoid talking about the economy. Obama was actually quoting someone in the McCain campaign. Romney's ad It quotes Obama saying:
"If we keep talking about the economy, we're going to lose."
PolitiFact goes on to deliver its judgment which seems pretty solid.
We certainly think it's fair for Romney to attack Obama for his response to the economy. And the Romney camp can argue that Obama's situation in 2011 is ironic considering the comments he made in 2008. But those points could have been made without distorting Obama's words, which have been taken out of context in a ridiculously misleading way. We rate the Romney ad's portrayal of Obama's 2008 comments Pants on Fire.
Another reason the Romney campaign's out-of-context snippet from Obama makes little sense is that Obama actually handed Republicans a self-damning soundbite. In a 2009 interview with NBC's Matt Lauer, Obama famously said that if the economy didn't recover in three years, his presidency would be a "one-term proposition." That is surely a moment Obama's campaign team wish they could have back.

Guruji, please tell us about the significance of the nine nights of Navaratri. What can we do to get a better spiritual experience during Navaratri?
'Ratri' word means that which gives you deep rest. Deep rest or relief from three things or three tapas. 'Tapas' means three types of fire, three botheration, the physical, the subtle and the causal. The three type of botheration are aadi bhautik, the worldly botheration. Aadi daivi, the divine one and then botheration of the soul. All these three botherations are relieved by a deep rest. So it is a time of prayer and rejuvenation. You know, a child is born in nine months. It takes nine month for a child to get formed and be born. So these nine days are like coming out of mother's womb once again, having a new birth. First three days are dedicated to tamo guna, inertia. The second three days to rajo guna and the last three days, sato guna. The three gunas that we all possess, sattva, rajas and tamas and gaining victory over all the gunas and being centred and celebrating life. The final day is called the victory day, Vijayadashmi. So for all nine days, ten days we virtually do meditation which is the best way to celebrate. People usually fast and pray, and then feast in the end. Fasting always goes with the feasting. I won't recommend all of you to fast without any food at all. You can have limited or eat less. Suppose if you are eating one whole meal you can cut down to half or quarter, like that, and don't keep munching all day. Usually people have the habit of popping munchies the whole day, now and then, here and there. So don't do that and don't indulge in any other sensory activities of any other senses; giving deep rest to all the five senses. No touching, no watching movies, not going for fragrances and all that. Not listening to music all the time with the, what is that, ipod?! As soon as we wake up we turn the radio on or put on the ipod and put the ear phones. Even when we are jogging we are listening to sound. So the mind is constantly bombarded; bombarded by sound, by music. These are the days when you don't bombard your system with so much music. There will be chanting here for some time. You know the last couple of days when there will be 'yagyas', of course you can just sit and bask in the chanting. Take bath in the, what is called 'mantra-snaana'; means bathing in the mantras. The mantras are being chanted; you just sit in meditation and bathe in that vibration, that is good. Everyday there will be little bit time, an hour or so of mantra chanting. Other than that it is good to refrain from over-eating, over-listening to music, or watching television or any type of activity which stimulates your system. It's a time to calm them down. Yes, and on the last day, of course, you end up in celebrations. You get emotionally charged, spiritually charged, intellectually uplifted. It's time for getting all these things done.

For centuries, Venice has fired the imaginations of painters, poets, composers-and millions of visitors. Join writer and historian Peter Ackroyd for an in-depth tour of the art, architecture, music, and theatre of Europe's most mysterious and seductive city.
Here, the pale Mediterranean light reveals cityscapes as painted by Canaletto and Guardi, modern voices revive the soaring spirituality of Vivaldi's hymns, and Venetians still don disguises to revel and role-play at Carnival. Exploring private palazzos, magnificent churches, and winding alleyways, Ackroyd also discovers the truth beneath the artifice, where beauty masks terminal decay. He interviews preservationists now working desperately to rescue the city's treasures from the ravages of time and the sea. Always a perceptive critic and spellbinding storyteller, Ackroyd serves as the perfect guide for an unforgettable journey.
An award-winning novelist and bestselling historian, Peter Ackroyd (London: The Biography) has written over 30 books and presented many TV documentaries. He is a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature.
Based on travel writer Peter Ackroyd's book Venice, Pure City, this four-episode documentary series about Venice, Italy, far surpasses the average dull DVD glimpse at the real place. Tourists preparing to travel to this ancient European city, or even art history students, will find Venice Revealed informative and semi-entertaining. In this BBC hit, Peter Ackroyd narrates episodes organized thematically by artistic genre: architecture, art, music, and theater are the areas he lends his expertise to. Instead of hitting tourist neighborhoods with his camera in hand, Ackroyd strategically wanders the city, musing about buildings, works of art, festivals, classical songs, and the men who invented them. Indeed, Venice Revealed, with Ackroyd pontificating about masterpieces galore, does feel like a men's club, but the influential work that has been inspired by Venice is unassailable. Therefore, one is left to sit back and wonder what it is about this city of canals that enabled so many men to make so much over the centuries. The "Architecture" episode, for example, highlights several architectural elements and structures found throughout Venice, including those made in the Romanesque, Venetian Gothic, rococo, and Renaissance styles. One professor Ackroyd interviews rightly calls Venice a "multilayered cake," and from there the viewer gets a heavy dose of biography about 19th-century art and architecture critic John Ruskin, who chronicled Venice's rich architectural variety. The "Art" episode dwells on the Renaissance but covers the 14th through 19th centuries, discussing Tiepolo, Tintoretto, Giorgio, Canaletto, and Titian, to name a few. In "Music," one learns almost too much about Antonio Vivaldi, that 17th-century classical genius. In the "Theater" episode, Ackroyd visits the world-famous La Fenice opera house and the Carnival, renowned for its lurid costuming and masquerade balls. While all of this feels rather stock for a historical treatment of Venice, what distinguishes this series from others is Ackroyd's commentaries that conceptually link all the arts. In these intelligent summations, Ackroyd notes a Venetian love of improvisation, the Venetian desire to keep up appearances, and the Italian importance of the family unit. In all, one comes away with a decent understanding of not only this city's surface, but the human motivations that have built it. --Trinie Dalton

I was looking for creative ways to celebrate engagements, and discovered two books that inspired me.
JasonP114's book "SHE SAID YES!!!" begins with photos of their courtship and travels and then concludes with a picture of the ring with the caption "Will you marry me?" And the answer was "YES!" of course.
LauraO60's "Engagment book" is another proposal book that chronicles an elaborate treasure hunt that her fiancé sent her on before she could arrive at a location for him to pop the question. There are even 'undercover' photos taken of that final special moment.
What would you include in your engagement book? Let us know by commenting on this article.

Steeple sign
Dr Henry Knipe ◉ and Dr Frank Gaillard ◉ et al.
The steeple sign (also called wine bottle sign) refers to tapering of the upper trachea on a frontal chest radiograph reminiscent of a church steeple. The appearance is suggestive of croup, which should be obvious clinically. A corresponding lateral x-ray would show narrowing of the subglottic trachea and ballooning of the hypopharynx.

A $770,000 bronze sculpture by British artist Henry Moore was stolen late Tuesday or early Wednesday from the garden of the Henry Moore Foundation, located at the artist's former home. According to the LA Times, officials speculate the 1965 sculpture will be sold as scrap parts.
Whenever an artwork is stolen it pains us inside, yet the thought of Moore's 22-inch delicate sundial being reduced to scrap metal is especially troubling. This would not be the first time a Moore piece was stolen and melted; in 2005 a $4.5 million dollar piece was stolen from the same property. The police, after an international search, determined the piece was melted down and sold for parts. The scrap value would only be about $2,300.
The police are keeping an open mind as to the motivations behind the theft. "It could have been stolen to put into another display or it could have been stolen to be melted down," a policewoman told the Daily Mail.
Moore is one of England's most beloved painters. His sculptures use abstract and hollow forms in large scale to imitate simultaneously the natural landscape and the female form. The police are looking for any information about the theft, so if you know anything, speak up before the sundial is no more!
Check out these other legendary art heists:
18 paintings including two by Fra Angelico, were stolen from New York art dealer Colnaghi's. The thieves broke in through a skylight, a manourve that could have gone very wrong, sending the thieves flying down the stairwell. Once inside, the thieves trod on canvases and failed to choose the most valuable paintings, but still made off with enough to be worth $6 million. Only 14 of the works were recovered.

140 objects, including Maya and Aztec Gold, Mixtec and Zapotec sculptures, were stolen from Mexico City's National Museum of Anthropology on Christmas Eve 1985. The alarms had not been working for three years, thieves simply removed the glass from the cases. PICTURE: Wikimedia
Not all art thieves are financially motivated. Thieves who stole Van Gogh's The Fortification of Paris with Houses, Picasso's Poverty and Gauguin's Tahitian Landscape from the Whitworth gallery in Manchester hid the works behind a public toilet. A note pinned to the tube said they stole the paintings to highlight security gaps at the gallery. How public spirited of them. IMAGE: Wikipaintings
A rich American collector, Charles Wrightsman, bought Goya's Portrait of the Duke of Wellington and planned to take it to America with him. Due to public outrage, the government matched the sum ($392,000) and it was hung in the National Gallery. It was stolen three weeks later, and the thief demanded a ransom, which was not granted. The Duke was later deposited in the left-luggage office of New Street station in Birmingham. A 61-year-old retired truck driver confessed to the theft. IMAGE: Wikimedia Commons UPDATE: A previous version of this slide incorrectly stated that the artwork was still at large, when in fact the painting has been restored. We apologize for the error.
Thieves overpowered the guide and chucked the painting the Madonna of the Yarnwinder by Leonardo Da Vinci out of the window, telling tourists "Don't worry love, we're the police. This is just practice". The painting was found at the offices of one of Scotland's most successful law firms. Several solicitors were arrested, some of whom were said to be scrutinizing a contract which would have allowed 'legal repatriation' of the painting. The painting was recovered and returned to the Buccleugh family. IMAGE: Wikipedia
A masked thief dressed in black stole five paintings from Paris's Musee d'Art Moderne, including Pablo Picasso's Le Pigeon aux Petits-Pois and La Pastorale by Henri Matisse. Collectively the paintings are worth about €100m. The CCTV system had failed, the intruder had trigged no alarms and the night watchmen hadn't noticed the break in until it was too late. The CCTV had been reported as broken, but hadn't been fixed adequately. IMAGE: Wikimedia Commons
Thieves seized a Rembrandt self portrait and two Renoir paintings from the National Museum in Stockholm. One thief threatened an unarmed guard with a submachine gun while the other two grabbed paintings. They scattered nails on the floor to slow down pursuit and got away on a motorboat. The thieves went on to request $10 million per painting in ransoms through a lawyer who was then arrested in connection with the robbery. The paintings are still missing. IMAGE: Wikipedia
Thieves made off with $300 million worth of art works, including The Concert by Vermeer and works by Rembrandt and Manet. Two men in police uniforms turned up at Boston's Isabella Stewart Gardner museum claiming to be responding to a disturbance. Once let in, guards were handcuffed and locked in a cellar while the thieves went to work. Attempts to recover the paintings - for a $5 million reward - failed.
The most audacious art theft of all time, Vincenzo Peruggia, an employee of the Lourve, walked out of work one day with the Mona Lisa under his coat. The theft remained undiscovered for most of the next day, as workers thought it was being photographed. Peruggia believed the Italian painting should be in Italy, and two years later tried to sell it to the Uffizi in Florence. IMAGE: PA
The Scream is one of the most stolen paintings of all time, made worse because there are four different versions. Most recently, it was stolen from the Munch museum in Oslo, where it was uninsured because curators felt the painting was 'priceless'. There were no demands for ransom but the painting was recovered 2 years later. IMAGE: PA

Walker are special Machines that not everyone wants. Therefore they don't hold their value. What many mowing guys don't realize that slower mowing speed with better trimming ability can make the total job be easier and faster. They get their real advantage on small compact properties. I only put a speed up kit on my first 16 HP walker which was under powered. The single cylinder just didn't have enough tork. To mow at any greater speed on a front runner causes the deck to bounce. One of the reason all the new faster mowers are Mid Mounts.
On large properties I would use the Walker to mow around objects to get close and use a mid mount mower on the open area for speed. Like I am trying to say Walker has a nitch were it does very well. Out side that Nitch it is not a competitive machine in today's market. In my case Walker fit the Nitch Market I sold to.
Fantasy Lawns has made a good suggestion that I would recommend you follow before spend your money. The dealer might also tell you what he would either pay or sell that mower for. I am a die hard Believe in the quality of a Walker and have had good success with them. BTW the newer Walkers have made some minor changes that make them hold up better. However they also have had some Dogs along the way.

Expert's review
by Anna Grace, Appszoom
Grow is an Android game where you need to wait for your pet fish to grow and feed it by tapping on screen.
The game includes many options: two game modes (Adventure, with many levels to pass and Survival, where you need to survive as long as possible), 64 levels, 7 habitats (Jar and Tank) and two difficulty settings: Normal and Advanced. There are also three different control options: tilting the phone, virtual joystick and touch and move, the latter being the least smooth of all three.
Your goal is to eat all the fishes, avoid the enemies and grab the power-ups that will help you grow. It's a very entertaining and addictive game, really simple but well-designed and enjoyable. Epic Pixel, LLC is the creator of Grow Free and its paid version.

Album Summary
- Timon Altwegg (Piano)
- Gilles Colliard (Violin)
Notes & Reviews:
The Swiss composer Hans Huber is undoubtedly one of the more unjustly neglected of European composers of his generation (1852-1921). It is to be hoped that this recording of three of his violin sonatas will help establish his standing, for the range and extent of his output demand the attention of music lovers.
Fanfare Magazine
At times of heightened emotion, Colliard seems to allow the music to take him outside his violinistic self, and in those moments, he either tends to scoop or to play with a raw and even unrefined energy (all of which the recorded sound tends to transmit, and all of which may dismay some as much as it carries others along with him). Nonetheless, he manages, with Altwegg, to build a powerful case for Huber's sonatas, which violinists and aficionados of the instrument's repertoire should eagerly concede. Strongly recommended to them as a most welcome discovery, but to general listeners as well, who should be excited to share in it.

Ten Years Later
Healthcare industry insiders said the civil and criminal Columbia/HCA investigations ignited by my whistleblower lawsuit changed the hospital industry and its relationship with government regulators. It also transformed the hospital industry giant now known as HCA, which took itself private when it agreed to a July 2006 purchase by three private equity firms and the family of its founder, Dr. Thomas Frist, Sr., for more than $30 billion in the largest leveraged buyout in the hospital industry.
Current and former government officials, healthcare attorneys, healthcare fraud experts, and consumer advocates describe the investigation, trial, and record $1.7 billion settlement as historic. But ten years after the 1997 raids on Columbia/HCA facilities in six states, then the largest search warrant execution in FBI history, what lessons have the hospital industry and healthcare financial professionals learned? How did the country's largest healthcare fraud investigation impact the HCA executives who were indicted, convicted, and later exonerated by a federal appeals court? How did it affect the government investigators and regulators who participated in the seven-year marathon and the attorneys sifting through the aftermath?
To answer those and other questions, I turned to veteran healthcare reporter Mark Taylor, who covered the trial, investigation, and settlement for the hospital industry trade publication Modern Healthcare. Taylor, the magazine's former legal affairs reporter, was familiar with many of the players and knew the issues.
History will judge our actions. It may take years before we know the total

Respond to Review of Loving Hut - Naples
by willtuttle
Review: When my wife and I ate here, the food was delicious. We don't eat much processed food, so we didn't order the "fake meats" on the menu, but opted for vegetable dishes and a little tofu. It was well-seasoned and nicely presented. My wife loves the vegan desserts there especially. What we most like about the restaurant are the friendly and brightly-shining wait staff - they are so helpful and loving, and also knowing that they're meditating, and have opened this restaurant not to make money, but to help educate people about the benefits of vegan living and how delicious the food can be. It's really a labor of selfless love and service, and so for me, it is a blessing to eat there.

After I couldn't see the B: drive I shutdown, rebooted, hit the F8 key to get to the command prompt, and DOS "sees" and can read/write to both A: and B: no problem. But if I boot to Windows I still don't see the drive. What the heck is going on???
It's obvious I've forgotten something, but what could it be? (As soon as someone provides the answer I'm going to smack my forehead and ask myself why I didn't think of that.)

Apple has revamped several forms and tools on its site that developers or content producers can use to submit copyright claims for their apps or content. The form to submit disputes based on apps is a brand new one, as pointed out by iOS developer Brad Larson on Twitter. We're not exactly sure when the changes were made, but we've spoken to other developers who have used them recently and they're definitely updated. The biggest new form is probably the iTunes Content Dispute tool that is now set up especially for claims related to apps. Read the full story at The Next Web.

Left Brain DGA Client Lenovo Wins Marketing Automaton's Top Honor at 2012 Eloqua Markie Awards 6th Annual Eloqua Experience Conference 2012 Business Wire REDWOOD CITY, Calif. -- November 14, 2012 Left Brain DGA, a Silicon Valley-based demand generation agency, is proud to announce that one of its marquee clients, personal computer giant Lenovo, won the 2012 Demand Generation Center of Excellence Markie Award at the 6^th Annual Eloqua Experience Conference in Orlando, Florida. "A truly great night that shined a spotlight on the hard work of many and the importance of collaboration with a committed team of demand gen experts to achieve truly remarkable results," said Steve Barnard, senior demand generation manager at Lenovo. "Marketing Automation just flat out works if you do it right. Left Brain and Lenovo's collaborative go-to-market strategy, Lenovo's exceptional products and services, extended ecosystem partners, commitment to persona-based content and focus on metrics to drive campaign decisions certainly played a key role in this win." Barnard continued by adding that his internal team of campaign managers, marketing operations team, and strong partnership with the Lenovo sales team deserved high praise for their efforts. He also credited the support they received from Eloqua while using its state-of-the-industry market automation platform. "Bottom line, as a committed group of internal and external experts with a common goal, we partnered with sales to generate $85 million in pipeline opportunity revenue over an 18 month period for Lenovo," Barnard added. "Statues and praise are great, but results are what matter and we got results." Left Brain DGA Chief Strategy Officer April Brown agreed with Barnard's assessment. "It truly does take a village to achieve these kinds of returns on marketing campaigns and our village had a good leader in Steve," Brown said. "He told us at the onset that his team needed to deliver repeatable, predictable marketing-qualified leads (MQLs) across multiple markets and products. We told him that to pull this off we all needed to adhere to a rigorous process that involved deep demographic and psychographic analysis, sales cycle modeling across key business units, more authentic prospect engagements through highly relevant and helpful content, and a closed-loop reporting system to show success and inform future decisions." "Lenovo won this award because they knew what they wanted to achieve, had smart people behind the wheel on their campaigns, and trusted Left Brain to help them get there," Brown added. For his part, Left Brain's CEO Malcolm Friedberg took the win as validation not only for the Left Brain Model™ and the power of purpose-fueled collaboration, but for his decision to align with Eloqua when he launched the agency. "Today's B2B sales environment is intolerant of cookie cutter marketing approaches and relies more on multi-disciplinary strategies that begin and end with knowing prospect and customer preferences in punishing detail," he noted. "Eloqua's Marketing Automation Platform is unmatched in our industry to simplify highly complex campaigns in a way that yields the data we need to be successful. Their top-down commitment to innovation in our industry by Joe Payne and the team at Eloqua makes me glad we are partners." That goes double for Lenovo Marketing Automation Manager Tracy Milligan. "Eloqua not only gave us the ability to think differently and approach marketing as a nurturing exercise instead of batch-and-blast process," Milligan said, "they also helped transform the culture of Lenovo to one where sales and marketing are aligned and functioning as a team designed to close deals." "At the end of the day, we're measured by our ability to help customers move the revenue needle in the right direction," added Leftbrain's Friedberg. "The results of our work together point to a significant win-win-win for all three organizations." To see how all of this came together, read Lenovo's Quest for Best-in-Class Demand Generation here.

Rogers to continue as mayoral adviser
Richard Rogers has been reappointed as the architectural adviser to London mayor Ken Livingstone.
His new token salary of £1 represents a pay rise, since he has headed the architecture and urbanism unit at City Hall for free since 2002.
During the next four years, Rogers - who has just turned 70 and is understood to be stepping back from full-time work with his practice, the Richard Rogers Partnership (RRP) - will advise Livingstone on design issues including plans to rejuvenate 100 public spaces across the capital.
Rogers was first signed up as a paid consultant in 2001, during the mayor's first term, but has since worked without payment.
His appointment provoked controversy because of concerns regarding possible conflicts of interest between his advisory role and his work with RRP.
However, an investigation by the London Assembly's standards committee found there was no evidence of any clash of interests.
