November 30, 2015
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Commissioner Robert Martineau says the firing two top officials in the Environment and Conservation Department doesn't indicate his agency is downgrading pollution enforcement efforts.
House Democratic Caucus Chairman Mike Turner in a Joint Government Operations Committee meeting on Monday questioned whether the shakeup signals Tennessee will become more "friendly to the polluters of this state" under Republican Gov. Bill Haslam.
Martineau responded that he would meet privately with Turner to discuss the reasoning behind personnel changes. He also stressed that the governor is committed to maintaining environmental protection standards while also seeking to foster economic development.
The officials fired earlier this month headed the agency's solid waste management and water pollution control. Additionally, the director of state parks also announced his retirement.

Zimmerman visited the Kel-Tec factory in Cocoa in August. At the time of the visit, the website TMZ.com reported Zimmerman asked about a similar weapon.

Designing for the New Android Experience
We've Entered a New Age in Android Design
Designing for Android used to be a uniquely challenging experience. It meant managing device fragmentation, maneuvering a foggy navigational structure, and dealing with clunky frame rates that limited the user experience. And it meant sleepless nights racking your brain, trying to figure out where to begin.
Today, our Design Guidelines for Gingerbread are a remnant of the past – and so is everything else that came before Ice Cream Sandwich. We have finally entered the Golden Age of Android.
How Ice Cream Sandwich changed everything
How to design for the new experience
iOS and Android Experiences
Porting from iOS used to be a bad idea – now it's inexcusable.
What's to come?
Where will future of Android design will take us?

After a little experimenting, we have settled on me (the captain) 90 degrees minus one click ahead of the stoker.
The stoker found starting to be a little harsh at a full 90 degrees behind (something about me stopping the cranks at the bottom of my stroke). Overall, I would say we have picked up 1 to 2 MPH on the flats, and we're taking most hills in the middle chain ring (instead of the granny gear). We probably have not gotten any better at climbing, but I figure since we're out of phase, I am less likely to be doing all the work...which prompts me to work a little harder. Once the stoker gets tired, going uphill becomes incredibly jerky; the rest of the time things are super smooth.
In other news, I figured out why I could not fit four of our new water bottles (which appeared to be the same size as the old water bottles) on the bike: I seem to have installed the down tube upside down (hence no clearance for the stoker's top bottle). I am a genius.
P.S. If you can't stand the taste of plastic in your water, Camelbak bottles are highly recommended.

One of the highest trail parks east of the Rockies
Hike/Wine Getaways - click for info
The Emerald Outback @ Beech Mountain is a year-round destination for hikers, trail runners and mountain bikers.
At 5,400 feet high in North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains, the Emerald Outback has more than eight miles of gorgeous and challenging trails. The system includes mostly single-track and double-track trails, interspersed with a few grassy roads and a gravel fire road.
The setting atop Beech Mountain is unlike that of any other trail park in the Southeast.
Wind-swept gnarly Beech trees, lush undergrowth and small streams form an emerald forest that inspired creation of the Land of Oz theme park, which operated nearby from 1970-80.
And, did we mention 50-mile vistas from scenic overlooks?
The Emerald Outback was built by the Town of Beech Mountain. It's free and open to the public seven days a week, with a trail head in the center of this resort town and a second trail head beside the Summit Lot parking area.
From June through September, lift access to the Emerald Outback is available Friday through Sunday (for a fee) via the chairlift at Beech Mountain Resort. The resort's lift includes trays to carry mountain bikes to the summit, with riders following closely behind in a traditional lift chair. Hikers are welcome to ride the lift as well.
Beech Mountain Resort also has a mountain biking park, thus providing riders with two trail park options in one location. In fact, the Emerald Outback and Beech Mountain Resort have combined to host four national championships conducted by USA Cycling.
Discount mountain biking packages and hiking packages for the Emerald Outback are

Armstrong stripped of 7 TdF titles

Re: Armstrong stripped of 7 TdF titles
Claudia wrote:
Why doesn't the USADA present their evidence to the public?
Because they don't have the right to do that. This is exactly the reason why Armstrong is being a whiny baby now and refuses to cooperate. Because
doesn't want the evidence to get public.
Why threaten with the loss of all titles (does that include the olympic bronze in 2000, the victory in the Tour de Suisse or the 2 in the Dauphiné or just the 7 TdF-victories)? What about those closed investigations in 2006?
Because the USADA alleges a doping conspiracy, not individual instances of doping. A conspiracy that went on from 1998 way up to 2009.
Claudia wrote:
Everyone should be treated the same, and it's my impression that that's not the case here. Why treat proven dopers such as Hamilton and Landis like crown witnesses? Is what Armstrong allegedly did so much worse? He was lucky and didn't get caught - and that makes it worse?
Hamilton and Landis lost
And yes, Armstrong was worse, because he was the ringleader, the instigator, and the guardian of the omerta.
Don't be a douche.

FRESNO, CALIFORNIA -- I ordered several items to come from China, they use DHL express service and my first shipment I sent to a friend & arrived FAST, early actually & no problems! Then, my 2nd package I sent to my new apartment, it had already been delayed from China so I was eager for it to arrive. I was trying to track it pretty regularly and finally it arrived in California and was sent with the courier service from Stockton to my town which is VERY CLOSE.
That night, wondering what happen I got an email saying it was delivered and I requested a copy of the signature confirmation. They emailed it to me but it was blank! No signature! The next day I filed a complaint and requested another copy signature & it had one! So since I was expecting 3 more packages to arrive, I was determined to know there was no way to miss them. I invited several friends over to have an outdoor brunch and get together while I waited for the next package. Wouldn't you guess that evening almost 8pm I tracked it & it said delivered once again! & trust me from 11:30am until close to 8pm there was no absence of any 2 people outside at any given time!
I requested yet another signature and guess what it has the same signature as the other one that showed up a day after it lies saying it was delivered! I sent copies to DHL, I have spoke to customer service, emailed them, filed their lost package claims and all they say is someone will contact me! Yet all I get is an automated response through email saying someone will contact me! What is their problem? My address is verified and UPS dropped off 6 packages in 5 days without an issue! And the worst part is I have 2 more packages still to be delivered! UGHHHH!!!
I have never had more disgust and feelings of rage over something as much as I do for DHL! I will never, ever deliberately use DHL again!
OK... I had bought the cosplay authentic outfit for my son (shipped from overseas from China) because he like to wear the anime clothes in public sometime (not the crazy ones, some can be wore as regular clothes, ex. Naruto jacket, anime fans know what I'm taking about).
Well they were to deliver it. I checked online and it was with the carrier. Was home all day, checked computer it said they tried and no one was home. Called the 1888 to return. They said oh they tried and no one was home. I told them I was home all day and they didn't even leave a slip. I even told them to ring the buzzer for 2g and the intercom works. They said the next day they would ship it. Again the next day the same thing happened... no slip, no ringing of the buzzer, marked they tried no one home. I even called them about 3 times to see if they had the right address.. they did.
(FYI - I live in a building and my uncle works for the US post office and he tells me because I live in a building in Jamaica N.Y. they will get nervous and will not deliver and scan the person not home. I don't live even in a bad neighborhood, but it is mostly minorities but still....) Third time they didn't even send it with the carrier next day because I tracked it online. So it called and switched the address to my uncle's job. This made me go online and look at reviews... I was shocked of the service others have got.... bad bad bad. I did get my package but I had to go through too much.
UPS.. no problem. US postal... no problems. They deliver to my building ALL THE TIME (if I'm not home for delivery they leave a slip). I was close to have to find a way to get to the airport to pick it up because the carriers I think judged, lied and didn't want to do their jobs.
DHL makes the process of receiving your package a confusing, time wasting exercise; their representatives really do not know what they are doing and have no respect for clients' time. I will never again use their service and will never recommend them to anyone. The level of incompetence of the DHL Brampton (Canada) office in particular and the service in Canada is unparalleled for being abysmally bad.
DHL advised me on their website via tracking that the package which I ordered from the USA was to arrive on a certain date. I stayed at home and waited all that day. The package never arrived. I called Customer Service and was attended to by a woman with a very contemptuous tone, who told me that the package was with Canada Customs and that I would have to provide them with a Power of Attorney if I wanted them to clear the package for me.
Of course I wanted the package cleared through customs – how else was it going to get to me? Did they think that I paid for it to remain there and not come to my house? If I had not called DHL, what would have happened to my package – more delays? Later in the evening of that same day, I received an e-mail from another female representative from DHL indicating that I needed to give them a Power of Attorney for them to clear the package through customs for me. I completed the PoA form and sent it back to the e-mail address to which I was directed.
At the close of business on the next day, there was still no update on the tracking information – which still stated that, at the end of that day, DHL "needed information" from me and that someone would call me. No one called. No package arrived. I called DHL again. The representative told me that this was an issue for the "Brokerage" department and that she would transfer me to them. Bear in mind that this is the same person to whom I sent to PoA.
The person from brokerage told me that the first representative never received the PoA despite the fact that I had confirmation e-mail from them stating that they had received my e-mail. They then tried to excuse their incompetence by drawing an artificial distinction between the person who sent the e-mail and the intended recipient when in fact the same person had the brokerage e-mail address in their e-mail signature. I still have not received the package and no updates were placed in tracking two days later. Ended up having to call the company which shipped the package in the USA to explain that I did not receive package.
In the future, use a carrier pigeon. Walk over. Take a cab. Deliver the package yourself but NEVER USE DHL - the higher fees charged by another courier service will save you the time and money which you would otherwise have wasted in using DHL.
CANADA -- On a recent trip to India, we purchased 3 carpets which we arranged, through the shop, to be shipped home. After we returned home, we were notified that the shipment arrived in the country and required customs clearance. We provided credit card information to a DHL representative to clear the carpets on our behalf. A few days later we checked the website to determine the status of our shipment and were surprised to see that DHL was indicating that they had been delivered and that no signature was required; BUT, we received nothing!
We DHL over the course of 2 weeks and when we were able to connect with someone we were told that they were investigating and needed to talk with their driver. After a week and a half of chasing DHL, they told us they checked with their driver who claimed that he did make the delivery. We asked for some evidence that this was the case - a paper or electronic trail of the driver's routing that day, anything. To which we received an e-mail restating that they had indeed delivered the package and that they were now leaving it up to the shippers in India to resolve the situation i.e. they absolved themselves of any responsibility without providing some level of satisfaction that they had indeed actually made the delivery.
I cannot believe a company in North America can behave the way that they have and still stay in business. The lack of any evidence and the way they brushed us off leads us to suspect that we are dealing with some sort of cover up and dishonest people working there from top to bottom. We sent e-mails to everyone in the chain of command including the Canadian president **. ** did not reply even though the DHL web site says "GO STRAIGHT TO THE TOP". What nerve - if you don't mean it then don't say it.
Someone by the name of ** followed up and we were led to believe that this was a result of our e-mails to ** and his office. But, she was virtually impossible to contact and when she did make contact she merely told us that the driver said the package was delivered. No response was forthcoming from ** when we asked for some sort of proof that this really did happen. Before ** came on the scene we were told our case was being handled by ** in customer service. She too was impossible to reach and when contact was made she was rude and uncooperative and for a week or more told us that she left a message with the driver who hadn't call back.
After lodging a complaint the case was taken away from ** and transferred to her team lead ** who, even though he made commitments to keep us informed daily, never did. In fact he just disappeared from the scene and took the day off. The entire ordeal has left a bad taste in our mouths and leaves us strongly suspecting someone at DHL as having stolen our goods and the rest of the organization covering up. I cannot believe that a Canadian company can operate in such a manner.
If anyone out there knows of any other option that we might pursue, we would like to hear from you. We are amazed that as consumers we have no protection from an unscrupulous company like DHL. This company's real business is dealing in fraud. If this is not the case then why were they so difficult to deal with? Why were they so unresponsive? Why were they so reluctant to satisfy us by providing some level of evidence to back up the claim that the package was delivered? DHL - Fraud and scam company run by dishonest people from top to bottom. Get the word out that there should be NO BUSINESS FOR A COMPANY THAT OPERATES LIKE DHL.
USA, NEW JERSEY -- Sent this complaint to the head of DHL customer service and BBB: I sent my first package through DHL this week. I will not be a repeat customer. My experience was nothing short of disastrous. I sent a shipment of gifts to a friend in Vietnam, parcel ID. I purchased the service through a third-party reseller, who provided the shipping label and what I thought was a customs form. I entered into the form the contents of the package at a value of USD 43.00. I noticed the form was titled "Commercial Invoice," so when the DHL driver picked up the parcel, I expressed my concern and specified that the package contained only gifts and not a commercial shipment. He assured me that everything would be fine.
When the package arrived in Vietnam, an exception was generated. I sent an email asking the status of the package and received a return call from a courteous English-speaking representative in Ho Chi Minh. She indicated that she needed contact information for the recipient; I gave her the recipient's e-mail address. I indicated that the recipient was not perfectly fluent in Vietnamese and asked if she could communicate with the office in English. The representative assured me that an English speaker would be available.
The recipient forwarded me a copy of the email she had received, which asked her for details regarding the shipment which a gift recipient should not normally be expected to have access to. Still, I assisted her in filling out the form and she replied in English. We specified again that the shipment contained only gifts.
A DHL representative next came to the recipient's address and gave her a copy of the "commercial invoice" which I had provided to DHL. The representative stated that the recipient would need to pay the USD 43.00, the value of the items listed, to obtain the package. It should be noted that $43 is a significant hardship for the recipient due to the exchange rate. I messaged the DHL Vietnam website in English stating that the list was not meant to be an invoice, that the contents were gifts and not a commercial shipment, and that the recipient should not be invoiced.
A family member of the recipient called the Ho Chi Minh office and was told that they has not received her email. It was sent again without reply, another call was made, and the representative indicated that the office could not read the English email. The recipient had her email translated into Vietnamese and resent it in both languages. Finally the Vietnam office confirmed receipt and advised the recipient that the package would take approximately two days to clear.
Seeing that DHL had a policy of charging for packages taking over three days to clear, I contacted the U.S. office. I received a voicemail message back stating that the package had been cleared after all and would probably be sent when it was morning in Vietnam. The driver did deliver, charging the recipient's family the $43 which we had explained repeatedly should never have been invoiced.
All told, the package spent twice as long in the Vietnam office as it did in transit, and the entire transaction was plagued with errors, poor communication, and a wrongful charge which represents a needless hardship to the receiver. I would like the full $43 refunded directly to the recipient as soon as possible. Thank you for your time.
OREGON -- I bought some products online and the seller, without asking me, decided it was a nice gesture to send the items through courier, even though I had paid for regular international mail to Canada. They used DHL for shipping and DHL charges a minimum of $14 plus tax in addition to the taxes and duties I owed Canada Customs.
So, if you live in Canada, you have 2 choices: keep your purchase under $20 or buy enough to justify paying DHL's fees. Keep in mind they charge 2.5% of the product value or $10, whichever is highest + $4 C.O.D. fee + taxes. And when you call to ask them why are you paying $28 on a $36 package, they will tell you to take it with the government because taxes are so high. Then they tell you that, if you lived in the US, your threshold would be so much higher so the problem is that you live in Canada, even though the actual taxes are only $12 and the rest are their ridiculous fees.
The DHL person I spoke to said they get lots of upset calls about their fees but; from what I gather, people pay them because they have little choice. What is the point of buying things online if you have to pay double the original price in the long run?
They already got payment for their services by the seller but I'm pretty sure I will be stuck with the useless DHL $16 fee for simply knocking at my door and spending a minute at the customs counter. I know it's a matter of 1 minute because I have done my own brokerage at customs close to the Toronto airport and it literally takes no time. I can't do that now because I moved to a town 3 hours away from the GTA and I don't drive. Otherwise I would be there in a heartbeat. It's worth the drive just to make a point if you are close by.
DHL suggested I should refuse the package to avoid the fees and offered no other solution. My experience with FEDEX and UPS is that they are more understanding and will meet you in the middle depending on what you bought. They do have fees per line in the invoice and other stuff but they understand when their fees are just too high and will at least try and help you out.
TORONTO -- The absolute worst shipping company EVER. A nightmare to deal with. I ship packages to overseas all the time, mostly documents, prints and sometimes antique magazines or arts. On July 19, 2013 I shipped an express package from Toronto Canada to Tehran which should have been delivered in 4 business days. Tracking showed that my package entered their sort facility in AE _HUB & GATEWAYS on July 23 and after that no further activities were showing on the tracking page.
I started calling them a few days later to find out what's going on. Each time they said someone will call me back and no one did. On Aug 1, 2013 I got fed up and called the customer service line and demanded an answer. They put me on hold for 35 minutes and came back to tell me that my package has gone missing... Missing??? how can that be? I told them that the package contained magazines that were worth a lot of money and I find it hard to believe that they have just vanished in the thin air. They said that they just don't have any scans or traces of my package once it entered their facility in Dubai. It seems clear to me that someone had stolen my package.
The customer service advised me to start a claim and sent me the claims forms. I filled them out and emailed them to the address on the form, I also faxed them to the number on the form to be safe. Needless to say that to this date (Aug 22, 2013) I have not heard back from them. I have called many times, they keep on saying that their claims specialist will call me back... I keep waiting and nothing... I would never send anything anywhere with DHL again... Their customer service is a nightmare and their employees at their sort facility are thieves... My advice is to stay away, there are lots of other options...
My package was in DHL care from 3:20 pm Feb 17 and made it from Florida to Edmonton Alberta Canada in about 27 hours. This was great as I was charged $104 to have it right away. The problem was as it was at the airport in Edmonton at noon and immediately cleared customs, then it stated clearance delay, so I phoned customer service to see if it would be delivered to the drop off in Edmonton later in the day. I was told no, that it would not move until the following Tues as today is Fri and they don't work weekends and Monday is a holiday.
This package was to be delivered to my doorstep in 2 days, so not wanting to wait an extra 3-4 days for delivery, I phoned customer service to have it held at the airport so I could pick it up. They said, "We emailed the request to them and they haven't got back to me." So I tried to phone the Edmonton drop off site to see if it was picked up so I could pick it up there. I got the phone # from their web site and called it about 40 times and this was Fri afternoon about 2:30 pm and they are open till 5:00 pm. No answer to all calls.
Checked the web tracking at 6:30 said package was in Edmonton at drop off at 6:15. Checked the web tracking 2 hours later and they changed the time from 6:15 to 9:38 yet it was only 8:30. I think this was done to cover up. So anyway, I phoned customer service at the 1800 number on Monday Family Day holiday, no answer; the drop off in Edmonton no answer, so I tried live chat and lo and behold I was told indeed they are open at the drop off even though it was a holiday. So, away I went to pick up my parcel driving 20 minutes from out of town, store closed.
Will be trying to pick up my parcel Tues morning hoping it's there. Purchased this from Simple Wifi in Florida and was to be shipped by UPS. They changed carriers after purchase and can't believe what has happened to me (so they say) I was charged $104 for UPS and they are now refunding some of the cost of shipping, somewhere in the neighborhood of $30 - $40. I would have rather paid the full amount and had it on time. Never again will I purchase from any vendor who uses DHL.
Its the people working there who just don't care at all about delivering on time because the company is not set up to do so. I guess this is what they call bait and switch or a red herring, on DHL and Simple Wifi. Certainly thinking of reporting both companies to the Better Business Bureau, and in the future check the B.B.B. first but, this doesn't work when companies like Simple Wifi advertise UPS as their international carrier then switch after you purchase from them. Dirty companies don't deserve customers and we all have to alert each other of what they are doing. Nothing but lies from both companies listed, stay away from both please.
Surely my experience with DHL must merit some sort of award – if you have the patience read on... MONDAY:
Parcel containing 200 watches on van 08.45 for delivery to me. At this stage please bear in mind that I live less than half a mile from the main delivery depot.18.00 – No sign of parcel being delivered – contact DHL told that it could be on its way up to 18.30; 20.00 contact DHL about non delivery – told driver had called and left a card at 19.36 – very odd as I was in my driveway washing my car between 18.00 and 20.00 and there were five people in the house all looking out for this delivery. DHL tells me that they will arrange for next day delivery – I accept.
TUESDAY: 08.45 parcel marked out for delivery yet again; 1800 – No delivery – contact DHL told that driver couldn't find address – same driver that left the card yesterday!!
WEDNESDAY: Nothing on tracking about delivery so I contact DHL and I'm told the parcel is in the delivery depot – I ask them to confirm this and when they do I tell them I will be there at 11.00 to collect – Guess what I get to the depot only be told that the parcel is not there but on the same van with the same driver as before. Apparently it has been on his van all the time. I ask them to contact the driver to tell him I have a hospital appointment and could he please leave the parcel next door with my neighbor – no problem and many apologies; 19.00 still no parcel – contacts DHL – tracking says still out for delivery!!
THURSDAY: 09.00 - Yet again the tracking still says out for delivery; 19.00 – no parcel – contact DHL – asked to confirm my address for the fifth time and yes that was the address they had – which incidentally is an estate in the city built in 1934 and everyone knows it especially dozens of other couriers from whom I have deliveries on a regular basis (funnily enough one of them is DHL) Apparently the driver had gained access to the address but no one would sign for the parcel!!!
FRIDAY: 09.00 - Tracking says out for delivery; By this time if I had any hair I would have been pulling it out. I leave a large sign on my door saying I had to go to a funeral and would the driver please leave with next door neighbor. Gets home to find a card say parcel delivered to neighbor at 16.28. Great I had just missed him by fifteen minutes – knocks on neighbors door – no parcel has been left – this is fifteen minutes after it was supposed to have been left. I immediately check the tracking – yes it was delivered and signed by the neighbor at 16.28 but twenty minutes later according to the tracking it has been returned to the depot undelivered.
Checked with neighbor an elderly lady who incidentally has been taking my parcels in for over twenty five years – she says she has not signed anything. 1800 – contact DHL – tell them the driver did not leave any parcel next door – I am told he must have because it had been signed – I ask to see the signature I am told I have to make a claim – I ask why the tracking has it as being delivered and also being returned to depot as undelivered – told to make a claim – in fact the insinuation was that my neighbor must have it – my inclination is more towards the package having gone astray due to its attractive contents!!!
DALLAS, TEXAS -- I ordered stuff from Shein, I paid for 3-5 day delivery once it was processed. As of tomorrow (August 29) it will have been 14 days. I received a text that it would be delivered on August 24. I sent a reply that I was out of town so I wouldn't be there to sign for it. I rescheduled it to be delivered on August 27.
On Wednesday the 26th I got a call that they needed the gate code so they could drop it off. I gave them the gate code and was told to leave a note on my door with the tracking number and my signature and they would leave the package. I did just what I was told but when I came home yesterday, there wasn't a package.
I called today, August 28 and was told they never tried to deliver because they "didn't have my address". I called to make a complaint and was told that it wouldn't be delivered until Monday. I told the lady I spoke to that it was unacceptable because there were dresses in there for a wedding this weekend. She said she would see what she could do and call me back. I never heard back from her.
I then called the same number from Wednesday that I gave the gate code to and was told that the drivers didn't even take the package with them and that if I needed it, I could drive to DFW airport and pick it up. At this point it was around 1:30 in the afternoon and I was at work and unable to drive 40 minutes to pick up a package that I PAID to be delivered to me. I will Never again use your services and plan to repost this as a negative review on your company.

I know this should be pretty simple, but I haven't been able to find a similar example.
I need to plot different ranges of a datafile differently, but on the same graph.
For instance, say my datafile represents a function with x and y values. I want to plot the first N values using a style like lines, and then the next M values using a different style, like points.
I was thinking I would need a plot command similar to this:
plot [1:5] "my.data" using 1:2 with lines, [6:12] using 1:2 with points, [13:19] using 1:2 with lines
Essentially I want to distinguish different areas of the functions.
Any ideas? I am sorry if it sounds like I'm rambling but I am quite stumped.
Thanks in advance!

As their traditional revenue streams decline, some health systems are adding a new position—chief strategy officer (CSO)—to identify new opportunities, approaches, and partnerships.
"Healthcare is so dynamic right now and there's a lot of opportunity, particularly for stronger organizations, to choose their own direction," says Diane Laird, who serves as CSO of MemorialCare Health System, an integrated delivery system with six hospitals, a health plan, ambulatory surgery and imaging centers, and more than 200 care sites in Orange and Los Angeles counties. "The decision to have a chief strategy officer supports having a good process to evaluate those strategic opportunities and make good choices."
While healthcare CEOs have traditionally been responsible for setting strategy, the emergence of new delivery and payment models, the downward pressure on reimbursement, and the increasing need for partnerships makes that more difficult than it has been in the past. Thus, the CSO position is emerging as a direct report to the CEO who makes sure that strategic thinking does not get short changed, says Elaine Bauer who joined Children's Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) in April 2011 as the hospital's first CSO.
"It's critical for every CEO to be a good strategic thinker, but they may not have the luxury of time to be able to step back and delve into data deeply and to keep their fingers on the pulse of all the different things that are going on," Bauer says.
The CSO job description differs from one organization to the next, but all CSOs are responsible for helping their organizations with big-picture thinking and long-term strategy.
See related sidebar: CSO Job Duties
For example, Bauer's experience as a long-time health system executive helps her maintain a bird's eye perspective when considering what is best for CHOC. As she led a year-long process to develop CHOC's seven-year strategic plan, she helped physician leaders, board members, and others maintain a health system perspective. "I helped the organization shift from thinking of itself as a free-standing community pediatric hospital to realize that we are a health system focused on pediatrics," Bauer says.
The result of the new self-image: CHOC is expanding its geographic footprint by locating outpatient facilities outside the health system's traditional Orange County service area, and CHOC is pursuing growth through partnerships with other organizations.
The CSO position at CHOC works through influence rather than fiat power. "By being part of the senior leadership team, I am able to find opportunities to interject systems-level thinking and say 'How does this resonate with you?' when I'm working with individuals and small teams," Bauer says.
In addition to Bauer's strategy work at CHOC, she is responsible for business development, including geographic and service line expansion, physician recruitment, and both internal and external physician relations.
At MemorialCare, Laird is tasked with identifying strategies to grow the integrated delivery system. That includes monitoring the local market, understanding the trends that affect current and future healthcare business models, exploring potential partnerships, and advising the executive team about opportunities. She also retains responsibilities for MemorialCare physician relationships, including leadership of the physician group and the physician-services organization.
One of Laird's first achievements as CSO was finalizing the creation of a partnership with University of California Irvine Health to expand access to high quality, cost-effective health care throughout Orange County and create new, innovative models of care that improve the health and wellness of the local communities.
UC Irvine Health is collaborating with MemorialCare Medical Foundation—its physician organization that includes a large medical group and IPA—to develop the new primary care centers, leveraging the foundation's infrastructure and extensive expertise in physician practice management and operations. "The future success of payer contracting and population health and serving employers requires a broad geographic footprint," Laird says.
MemorialCare has long been a teaching hospital for UC-Irvine Health residents, and the primary care partnership takes the relationship in a new direction. "This is a perfect example of unique new types of system partnerships that will benefit the community," she says. "This new partnership is yet another building block for future collaboration between our organizations."
Another achievement in her first quarter as CSO: MemorialCare joined an accountable care organization (ACO) with responsibility for Anthem Blue Cross members covered by a PPO plan. While MemorialCare has been engaged in an ACO partnership for HMO lives, this is its first ACO contract for PPO lives, presenting the opportunity to provide coordinated care to a subset of patients who traditionally navigate the healthcare system on their own.
Laird says a CSO's skills and experience are two important success factors, but choosing a CSO who can work well with the rest of the executive team allows healthcare organizations to capitalize on the CSO position.
"The CSO is not the person with all of the answers," Laird says. "An organization should be really thoughtful in the selection process to make sure the CSO can be a vital member of the executive team of the organization. This is a facilitative leadership role—not a 'We'll send that person out there to make it all happen on their own.'"

SPARQ Ratings soar in Texas
Brian Stumpf
Rivals.com Football Recruiting
Phillip Ofili, who took home top honors at 93.99.
Ofili, a 5-10 1/2, 189 pound cornerback who also had a very good day in drills, posted his score after testing very well in all four elements, sprinting to a 4.45 in the 40, a 4.06 shuttle, benching 19 reps and jumping 37.4 inches in the vertical.
Ofili narrowly outdistanced a pair of defensive backs with the same first name from the same high school.
5-9, 164 pound cornerback Taylor Charbonnet was just behind Ofili at 93.59, after racing to a 4.37 in the 40 and a 3.94 shuttle, to go along with very good marks in the bench and vertical.
Charbonnet's teammate at The Woodlands, 6-0, 189 pound Taylor Skaufel, posted the camp's third-best rating at 92.78, with a camp-best 3.90 shuttle and a 4.57 40.
All three players should see their profiles rise in the next few weeks following their standout showings, particularly Ofili, who is still yet to receive his first offer.
He had a solid junior season, recording 45 tackles and two interceptions, and currently lists Texas A&M, Florida, Texas, Notre Dame and Michigan as his favorite colleges.
*Taking the standard measurements of the football combine, the SPARQ Rating
weighs and combines the 40-yard dash, 20-yard shuttle, vertical jump and bench
press into a single number that measures an athlete's overall athleticism. Thus,
football players can track the progress of their training, through occasional
tests, and compare SPARQ Ratings with teammates, training partners and

Note: Some players chose not to test or had
their times or marks scratched from the records. The 40s were timed outdoors on
grass using electronic SPARQ Timing at the College Station NIKE Camp.

Things will never be the same
Warnings/notes : Crawford x Aya, an embrace, a little angst, maybe a wee tiny bit of fluff?, songfic, pov shifts after each songfragment
Disclaimer : I don't own Weiss Kreuz. The song 'Things will never be the same' belongs to Roxette, minor changes have been made to the lyrics.
written at 15th march 2003, by Misura
after writing this, I'd like to dedicate this to a lady who hopefully knows who she is and why I say 'Thank you' to her.
songlyrics are in //italics//, thoughts are in italics
There are certain ties between this story and 'Eternally dancing', my other CxA-fic, which is still unfinished at the moment.
//In your hands
Why I don't understand//[Aya]
I feel his arms sliding around me and I lean into his embrace. Some of the people passing us by are frowning at this public display of affection, while others smile or don't even notice us because they are too caught up in their own companions.
"I missed you." I whisper softly, not bothering to ask how his day was or how he knew he would find me here. I don't care about either, in part because I already know the answers.
"I know." he replies, equally soft. "I missed you too."
Breaking the embrace, we step apart to really look at the other person. I notice he looks more worn out than usual, more tired. I probably look the same to him.
We do it to eachother, unwillingly.
//You got the eyes of a man
But you hurt like a child
You always do//[Crawford]
Aya looks on the verge of exhaustion and paler than normal. His soul and heart are in his eyes, telling me how true those first words he spoke to me today were.
It never was my intention to weaken the shields he had put up between himself and the world, but every time I see him they are less stronger than before. As are mine.
I want to make those lovely eyes stop hurting and start sparkling again. I know I can do that, if only for a limited time, as long as we can't openly be together. It's tearing at both of us, yet we would never agree to wait. To stop meeting for the time being and wait for tomorrow.
We may both be dead tomorrow. Today we are alive though.
"Let's go to somewhere more private." I propose. "We can have dinner together."
He nods. "I will have to call the others I won't be home too early."
"Wait for a few moments with calling." I suggest, smiling. "If you do it now, you will get Yohji asking a whole lot of questions you won't want to answer."
//Touch me now
Cause I don't know when
When or where
We will meet again//[Aya]
I return the smile he gifts me with. It is so beautiful and yet he shows it so rarely. Maybe I'm the only one he has ever shown it. The thought makes me feel both priviliged and sad.
Walking side by side, but not touching eachother, we walk to the exit of the park. He will pick a restaurant and I will scowl and say I don't want to go there. Then he will suggest -politely- another one, which I will agree with, after a bit of bickering.
I don't know why we keep doing things that way, maybe because it is something normal people would do. And it's nice to kiss and make up after a bit of bickering, even if neither of us meant anything by it.
Not that we need any excuses to do things like kissing.
//That was then
Yes, but this is now
Time won't get me over you//[Crawford]
I wonder what his teammates think he's doing on those evenings and nights he doesn't come home. For me it's easier than for him ; mine aren't my friends, they're just my co-workers.
If I died only one person would care. They would just consider getting a new person to lead them a bit of an inconvenience. Farfarello cares about no one, Nagi is as cold as I was and Schuldich ... he would laugh himself silly at the suggestion I might be meeting a secret lover.
And cheerfully shoot me at Estet's orders.
Aya's teammates on the other hand are also his friends. He doesn't show it to them much, but I can hear it in his voice and see it in his eyes when he talks about them. They care for him.
He cares for them too, which means I have to regularly keep me and mine from harming people that show no such reservations to us. My lover's friends are not my friends.
//Losing you
Things would never be the same
Will I hear you call my name?//[Aya]
As we make our way to the place we settled on -a nice and usually quiet restaurant we have visited three or four times before- he leans over to me and softly starts to talk.
He tells me there will be a third guard in the building Weiss is going to strike at in two days, that Ken will break his leg, unless I let Yohji take the second floor instead, that Omi will need some extra sleep if he is to pass his history-test in four days and a bunch of other small facts.
The first time he did this, I was annoyed. I took serious offense at what I saw as his doubting of my capabilities as the leader of Weiss. I told him I had done fine on my own thus far and definitely didn't need any advice, no matter how well the intentions behind it.
The mission after that, Omi couldn't get away fast enough when the building collapsed. He had to spend a week in hospital. I knew I could have prevented it, if only I had listened. I felt guilty.
So now I listen and afterwards, I will say 'Thank you'. And I wish I could tell Ken whom he has to thank for his whole leg, or Omi whom he owes his good mark for history.
//If we changed it back again
Things could never be the same//[Crawford]
Our first fight was over me using my gift to foresee dangers for his team. I didn't understand why he took well-intended counsel as an insult. He had to explain it to me.
But I didn't give up. He cared about those people ; therefore their safety was essential for his happiness. And that last was my concern as well. If Weiss died, I would only mourn for his sake, even if he has tried to allow me to get to know them by telling me things about them.
Small things, nothing incriminating. Not for a lack of trust, rather for a lack of normalcy in my own life. What little he has, he shares with me and I am grateful.
Today he tells me about Omi's latest writing-project, Ken's new soccer-shoes and Yohji's most recent 'crush'. We agree that one day, Yohji will find a love as true as ours, but have different ideas on what she (or he, I insist) will be like.
Someone hearing our conversation would never suspect our true occupations.
//Things will never be the same
Can't you feel?//[Aya]
In an attempt to make up for the lack of thank from my teammates, I started telling him about our work at the flowershop and the people we meet that way. My descriptions of the rush-hour made him smile so I made it a habit to watch for other things I could share with him.
It gives me something to think about when he's gone and I think it also made me more aware of my surroundings. I got to really know my team-mates for the first time, by observing them.
Initially I also used to ask him things about the people he lives and works with. His responses were short and I could see the subject held little attraction for him. And yet ...
If he can be like he is right now, won't the same go for them?
//Can you hear me call your name?//[Crawford]
Later that evening, we watch the sun go down, painting the heavens in every imaginable color. In the morning, we will put on our masks again, but tonight we will be together, as ourselves.
Tomorrow I will start counting the days until our next meeting.

the island of Tromoya, nr Arendal, Norway, Norway
an adult festival pass 2250 NOK (around £242) including camping
daily capacity: 15000
last updated: Tue 19th Jun 2012
Hovefestivalen mixes international acts with Norwegian bands in a unique setting on an island outside Arendal city. The event lasts five days with the sun only setting for two hours each night. The dates for 2012 are Tuesday 26th until Friday 29th June.
Line-upHeadliners The Shins, and Skrillex, are joined by The xx, Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa, Rise Against, Ed Sheeran, Lostprophets, M83, Dropkick Murphys, Beirut, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, Summer Camp, Male Bonding, DevilDriver, Active Child, Kreayshawn, Real Estate, Mac Miller, August Burns Red, Iceage, Lemaitre, Envy, Maribel, Mikhael Paskalev, Bjorn Torske, Lido Lido, M. Ward, Lana Del Ray, Knife Party, Toro Y Moi, Django Django, Antichrist, Bloody Beach, Emeli Sande, Highasakite, Kendrick Lamar, Labrinth, Nekromantheon, Overthrow, Team Me, and Todd Terje, and Jonas Alaska. For the line-up details as available, please click here.
Besides the music there's art installations, scenes, yet-to-be-released movies and ecological food.
Ticket informationA festival pass is priced at 2250 NOK (approx £242) including camping, or 2150 NOK without camping. To buy tickets, click here.
There will be a limited number of 1 day passes available because the primary focus of the festival is the complete experience, not a series of concerts.
CampingThose wanting to camp at the festival will also need to purchase a camping pass. A camping pass will give admission to the festival campsites and a camping place. Festival goers will be issued with a separate camping wristband at the festival and this will only be given to people who have purchased a Campingpass and either a Festivalpass or a Dagspass. You will not be allowed in the festival campsite if you only have a Campingpass.
There will be no separate tent passes and you will not need a tent sticker. In order to accommodate everybody in safety and comfort organisers request that you please bring a tent which is designed for the number of people sleeping in it. There is also a quiet camping area.
EthosHovefestivalen tries to set new standards for environmental awareness and campers must sign eco-contract that promises not to leave a 'single footprint' behind. There is also a multimedia seminar where environmentally aware artists will meet with eco-activist politicians to discuss the future of the earth. There will be ongoing train and bike campaigns throughout the festival, and a hydrogen boat showcase.
Enviroment ProgrammeThe festival was the first music festival in the world to join UNEP's (United nations Enviroment Programme) Climate Neutral Network (CN Net). CN Net is a new UN-led initiative in the fight against climate change, as UNEP wants Hove to take the lead in a European network of climate friendly rock festivals. The thought is that rock festivals could create a new blueprint for carbon neutrality in the entertainment business.
Green credentialsThe natural surroundings/green scenery as much a part of the festival as the music. Since its inception in 2007, the Hove Festival has focused on green issues like carbon neutrality, recycling and energy from alternative and renewable sources.
More information will be here when available.

Benchmarking OEE
EMI brings packaging line performance analysis to life. Are you Best-in-Class, Average, or Laggard?
A leading EMI (Enterprise Manufacturing Intelligence) provider, Informance International, specializes in helping manufacturers improve operations through performance analytics. In a nutshell, they provide real-time manufacturing metrics and pinpoint the underlying inhibitors of line performance. One of those metrics, OEE, has fast become the accepted yardstick that combines availability, performance, and quality to calculate an index showing how efficient a manufacturing operation is.
Each year Informance conducts a Manufacturing Benchmark Study, the most recent published in late 2009. Presented here are highlights of that study, which captured packaging line data from 725 consumer packaged goods manufacturing operations around the world. The time period spans January to June 2009, and accounts for 9.1 billion units of production across the 725 operations. Informance declines to identify how many unique companies are represented in the study, but the firm does indicate that it's more than 100.
Worth noting is that the information presented here is not the result of a survey, where respondents are asked what they think their packaging line OEE is. This data comes straight from a PLC, and the sample size is large enough to make it a pretty accurate reflection of packaging line OEE at CPG companies in general.
And just how is the data collected? Through a product offering called the Informance Plant Solution. Informance founder and executive vice president John Oskin explains. "It's a combination of software and instrumentation. We measure real-time production minute by minute by time-stamping items as they move through a factory. The Plant Solution forms a database from the time sequenced information, then analyzes and computes everything from uptime to downtime to quality. Attributes such as SKU information, reasons for downtime, etc. come from the PLCs themselves or an operator on the line."

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion Reviews

Consistent performer!I've used this product for a long time (over 20 years!)and it is the best moisturizer I've ever used, especially since I have hypoallergenic skin. Perfect weight for all climates, too. — 7 years, 11 months agowywoman | 3 reviews
Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing LotionMoisturizes without leaving a heavy film. Great alone or under make-up. I love it. — 7 years, 11 months agoteresa_talks | 3 reviews
It worked for meWhen I started using this lotion, I had extreme dry skin that was peeling from allegic reactions caused by the previous line of products. This one got to work instantly. Within a week all the dryness had disappeared and skin felt soft. I have to admit, after buying the for the first time, I never had to buy it again because I keep getting it with the seasonal GWP. Only thing is that you have to us...read moree the three step system twice every day very religiously to start seeing the effects. I agree with the previous reviewer who mentioned the oily feel it leaves behind, but that disappears after putting the powder/makeup. — 7 years, 11 months agosonykudi | 4 reviews

Great for sensitive skinMy fiance has extremely sensitive skin - water burns his skin - and this is one of the only moisturizers he can use. I've been using it since I was a teenager, and I still use it. A great, simple product. — 7 years, 11 months agoLuciJoy | 5 reviews
DisappointingWith all of Clinique's fantastic moisturizers, I'm surprised this still sells. It is way too greasy for my face, and makes my skin break out like crazy. — 7 years, 11 months agoMagnolia31 | 3 reviews
Perfect!I love this lotion! It's very light, only a thin amount is needed. It's not at all greasy. I've tried dozens of moisturizers. They are all too heavy and cause shining. I have no need to search further. I'm perfectly happy with this product. — 7 years, 11 months agoMissy | 3 reviews
This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful
pretty darn goodThis was one of my original Clinique favorites, and still is. It works well for my combination skin--doesn't cause acne but hydrates enough to not look like a snake shedding skin. Not moisturizing enough for a night cream, but my favorite for during the day. Also, I like that it *doesn't* have any SPF. I really don't need sunscreen in every last cosmetic. — 7 years, 11 months agosakotaki | 3 reviews
This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful
Great for sunburnMy whole family loves this product! We live on the beach and use it daily, but also for sunburn. If applied immediately following a sunburn, and consistently...you WILL NOT peal! It is awesome! — 7 years, 11 months agofettesk | 3 reviews
love thisI have used this product for years and I love it. My skin feels hydrated and looks really good. — 7 years, 11 months agomkwittbrodt | 3 reviews

Thats what I think - though I haven't tested it. I can't see how it could matter at all.Originally Posted by Monophoto
HOWEVER, plenty of people swear it makes a difference (including plenty in this thread). Some of them have claimed experimental evidence, and most have far more experience than I do. I've heard it enough to wonder if there actually is anything in it, or is it simply folklore that has got passed around.

Could the Q Continuum stop the implosion of the Universe?

Since the Q can travel in time, then they may already be prepared.
Can they really travel in time? I know Q said he could do it and said things like "this isn't a trick, this is real" but it is possible that he simply lied and every so-called time travel Q did was nothing but an elaborate illusion, something like the Q version of the holodeck. What have we seen them do, they can teleport, travel through space, change the shapes of objects and beings etc., that's not that different from the things the federation can do just on a much larger scale and obviously much more advanced.
When Q talked about changing the gravitational constant of the universe that doesn't necessarily mean changing the constant in the entire universe just locally to move the moon. Changing the laws of physics locally is something the federation does every time they use warp drive, it doesn't affect everything everywhere, just the ship inside the warp field that can suddenly exceed the speed of light, something that isn't possible in our universe.
Have we ever seen Q do something that's not just something humans can do just on a larger scale and with less obvious technology? Picard did appear almost Q-like to the Mintakans, Ardra pulled it almost off in Devil's Due. For all we know the Q could just be a hundred years more advanced than the federation and the entire time the Q laughed their asses off that they managed to dupe the humans into thinking they're some super powerful god-like beings.

What I want to know is who is the reviewer who is going to tread all over the posthumous praise of not only Ledger but dare to criticize to real degrees any flaws the film does have?
The build-up of buzz about Heath is overtaking the film to the point where I wonder if we can truly get an unbiased review.
I've no doubt its a fantastic piece of cinema, I just fear the rose colored goggles are preventing a more routine critique of the movie due to the circumstances.
