GALLAGHER: While the [quality, patient safety, and patient experience] history of the organization is important—you need to know the organization is paying attention to these areas—I don't think these scores would stop a deal. If we believe that we can help the organization improve those areas, then that's what we would consider. As long as there's a commitment to the topic and we're convinced that we can help them improve in those areas, it's not an impediment. But if they're not paying any attention to [quality, patient safety, and patient experience] at all, then that's a different issue.
HAMMOND: Generally an organization that has performed well will be more valuable to a suitor or a partner, but an organization that has not performed well is not necessarily unattractive because a potential partner or suitor may perceive it as an opportunity for value creation. Of course, it is unlikely that the buyer will compensate the seller for all of the value that it will create once it acquires the hospital.
HEALTHLEADERS: Agreement terminology can vary greatly between contracts. However, two overarching elements of these agreements are governance structure and reserve powers. What should healthcare leaders be looking for in the terms?
MOEN: It's easy to share ownership; what's difficult is sharing governance. Successful governance has a lot to do with the cultures of the two organizations. Both partners have to share cultures that are focused on taking care of patients. If your partner is in it to make a buck, then they're in it for the wrong reason and governance will be very difficult.
Not all joint ventures are created equal. You need to ask:
Everybody is going to say, "We'll be partners," but what does that mean?
GARRETT: Dan's right. It's easy to share ownership with someone; what's really difficult is sharing governance, which means control and management. To me, if there is shared ownership in the operation, then it has the element of a joint venture. I really believe that the essence of a joint venture partnership is where our incentives are aligned, profits and losses are shared on a pro rata basis, and governance is shared. That means you put five people on the board and we'll put five people on the board, but you still maintain the appropriate reserve powers. You have to dig into the fine print to see what the reserve powers are for either partner—because those reserve powers can overcome almost anything.
HEALTHLEADERS: Can you offer an example of an ownership and governance structure that one of you has used?
GALLAGHER: We've done two deals now with LHP or LHP principals when they were with a prior company: Cedar Park Regional Medical Center, which is in a suburb of Austin, TX, and Seton Medical Center Harker Heights, near Killeen, TX. Both deals are designed similarly; it's an 80/20 arrangement. We own 20%, they own 80%, but we share a 50/50 governance structure.
We name the chair of the board, but they do the daily management. Seton has certain administrative responsibilities and we have a clinical integration plan in which certain things are shared together. By and large, though, LHP in the Harker Heights model is responsible for development of the hospital, construction, the management team, recruiting physicians, and other than our capital investment, our role is oversight at the governance level as well as certain limited administrative responsibilities.
HEALTHLEADERS: What can cause one of these types of deals to go south before it's completed or after?
GARRETT: Not having a clear understanding of how governance and management are going to work from the outset. Unfortunately, it's possible to go through a long due diligence process, and the deal can still fall apart in the end. We've had experiences like that. So we make it clear from the beginning of the negotiating process how governance and management are going to work.
HAMMOND: Any time you enter into a partnership you really have to anticipate something not working out. Although I believe that more due diligence can minimize future problems, since there will be unforeseen developments, what one needs to know is, How will the partners work through the difficult and controversial issues?
GALLAGHER: We've never actually merged with another organization, but back in 1995 we did a long-term lease of a city-owned hospital that was almost the same size as Seton. Although it wasn't a merger of the organizations, it was still a merger of the workforces. We had cultural challenges; they were a city department and they did things differently than Seton. It took us a number of years to transform the organizations into something in which both sides felt comfortable.

I have to keep applying this lip balm. I feel it was a waste of money. I will stick to my Blistex medicated lip balm SPF 15. Works much better than Baby Lips! I also hate the packaging Baby Lips comes in feels kind of cheap, and I am always afraid that I am going to break it with use.

I paid $3.99 for my "Baby Lips" lip balm in the shade "yummy plummy" at Walgreens. This tinted lip balm is not worth $3.99, or even $0.99 for that matter. Why do we use lip balms? Mainly to keep the lips hydrated isn't it? This balm does not hydrate the lips worth a chap... it wears out so quickly you might as well use nothing at all.
I bought it because one of my favorite YT beauty gurus raved about it. Well, I've learned a thing or two now from beauty gurus out there...and it is not always good.
If you want a good tinted lip balm go for Burt's Bees. That's what I should have done and made better use out of my 4 bucks. Oh well...live and learn!
Thanks for reading my reviews and good luck with your purchases!

I keep seeing these commercials on tv and noticed my sister was using the baby lips in the spf version. I asked if she liked it and she said did. I took the bait and bought the coral flavor because I thought the color was nice. Unfortunately, the smell was overwhelming, it gave me a headache. My lips did not feel any softer nor did I like the taste on my lips. I decided to return it and to never again get baited again from maybelline.
But then my best friend was using the peach kiss and said she really liked it. So I went ahead and exchanged it for that one and generally liked it. There wasn't that awful scent or weird aftertaste. The color wasn't anything great but my lips did feel kind of baby soft! haha. So, knowing this, maybe i'll buy another color, maybe. But I really like the peach kiss, I would probably buy this again once I run out.

Okay well I got this last week in peppermint, and I love it! It is so moisturizing, smells great and it applies thickly, which I like. It also doesn't feel it's just sitting on my lips. I also love how it's slippery instead of waxy like most other lip balms. Its pretty cheap too, only 3 dollars. The only thing I don't like is its packaging, it's cute but it breaks easily. It had a huge crack in it before I even opened the package because I accidentally dropped it. Other than that it's a great lip balm, and I would definitely buy it again!

I used to be extremely skeptical of baby lips because no lip balm other than vaseline has hydrated my lips the way I want them since my lips get extremely dry and chapped pretty often. I decided to give this a try after a long time of not even being interested in it and I have to admit that I love it. I got the flavor/color in quench and it's a sheer lip balm that goes on the lips very smoothly and actually hydrates them as much as vaseline does. I also ADORE the scent - it smells very fruity. The SPF 20 protection is also a good bonus and most days I just wear baby lips to give my lips a nice sheen. I'm in love with this product.

I bought the clear baby lips with spf 20 (the blue package!). I have found it really smoothes out my lips and it doesn't apply thinly like a lot of the other lip balms i have tried. OMG i love this packaging! A lot of people are saying it is cheap but mine really holds up. I have dropped it countless times and it hasn't broken or cracked! The only con for me was that it doesn't last as long as some, i would say the lasting power is OK. Overall i like this product a lot, but you have to apply it about every 2 hours if you want it to keep your lips smooth and perfect!

I'm disappointed in Maybeline for making this product look so perfect in their adorable commercials. I have never felt the urge to go out and buy lip balm so bad in my life. I don't even know why? Anyways, I gave this lipbalm a bad review because it dried out my lips. Which, lets be honest, makes no sense. That's selling a hair detangler that automatically knots your hair. It doesn't make sense. I DO love the color, I purchased the nude, or peach, one. It is really pretty and does actually leave color, which was surprising. However, it comes off in at least 5 minutes. I guess i shouldn't be so surprised considering how cheap it is, but really.. it CHAPS your lips. Why would they make something that does the opposite of what it's expected to do?

This lip balm is pretty tricky. Sometimes I love it, then at other times I don't. I hate that when applied to the lips, it doesn't last for very long and I constantly have to keep applying. Otherwise, this gives my lips a nice, sheer, nude shimmer (Peach Kiss). It does soften the lips, and smells yummy. I'm dying to try the Pink Punch.

So... this is one of the products I bought on a moment of mind blank... I didn't use to apply much lip balm but I bought it anyway...
So, I bought it, so I thought might as well as try it. Well... I got the baby pink one, and it gives my lips a pretty natural pink colour, not that my lips are that pale to begin with, so it didn't make much difference. As for moisturising, it didn't do so well either, my lips began peeling before I reapplied. Since I started using Mentholatum deep moist, I have been using this on top to give my face a little more colour... which is pointless, as it's supposed to be a 2 in 1 item. After I wear it though, I felt like I had to use makeup remover, or else the colour wouldn't go away... Won't be repurchasing... obviously...

I LOVE THIS PRODUCT! I had very severe chapped lips that would burn and inflamed. Carmex worked but not for long. I bought baby lips and it worked like a charm. I have quenched and I want to get cherry me or peach kiss along with pink punch. However it says 8 hour moisture but it only last for me about 15 minutes. where I live, I got it for 2.99 at target. Target doesn't have the limited edition so I might recommend going to Walgreens. Quenched has a very nice smell to it, Its has an AMAZING GLOSS AS WELL. I would rebuy it many times!

Margin is by far the best blush I have ever tried. Generally I tend to go for pink blushes but I decided to give this a go. In the pan it looks so boring and nothingness but on the skin - now that's a whole different story. I feel like this was made for my medium skin with yellow undertones. It gives my skin that beautiful healthy glow. The shimmer in it is very fine - it's not glittery at all, it's just glowy. Trust me on this - I hate shimmery blushes but this one is perfect. When built up, this transforms to a beautiful corally bronzy kind of glow. I recommend this for anyone with medium skin. I used it during winter for a healthy glow and also during the summer and sometimes as a subtle highlight too

I absolutely love this blush! It was a toss up between this or melba (which I still might get but only because I can never have enough blushes lol) on my skin I am very pale and neutral in skin tone fyi and it comes off as a orangey/browny/dusky colour and the frost in it adds a lovely luminosity to my skin. It is extremely pigmented so you only need a little or you could of course build it up. I've had mine since August so that's like 6 months or so and its still going strong!

It is a very pigmented blush and seemed to have such a nice bronzy colour. Yet it was not a good match for my medium-light yellow toned skin with pink cheeks. Looked quite muddy on me, and not flattering at all. I also found that the shimmer was standing out bit too much.
I think the blush could work a nice highlight for darker skin tones.

This color is very complimentary to all skin types and lasts, and lasts, and lasts! I wear it almost daily and am heavy handed, and I still have not hit pan on this blush after 6 months. It is very buildable and doesn't go on extremely dark unless you want it to. I'll keep purchasing this, but I don't think I'll run out in the next year!

To start, I've never been much of a blush person because I have a hard time finding blushes that compliment my skin tone and show up well on me. But MAC blushes were recommended to me by a friend and she said this color Margin specifically would look amazing on me. For reference I'm an NW35 in MAC foundation. I'm pretty tan with yellow undertones. I saw it in the shop and didn't think too much of it at first but picked it up anyway when the MAC lady said it's a very popular one for tan skintones. OMG. This is the most beautiful shade ever. It's a rose gold shade with some brown and peach undertones in it. PERFECT summer blush. For me it's perfect for an every day look because it serves 2 purposes. It has the great pigmentation of a blush but the frost in it serves as a highlighter! I can totally skip my regular highlight routine now and just use this blush all over the cheek. It looks like a beautiful rose gold sheen on my face, not too overwhelming but still noticeable. It is definitely frosty so if you only like matte blushes, avoid this completely. The shimmer is VERY finely milled and not chunky or gritty whatsoever. The texture of the blush is like butter, so soft and smooth, easy to blend. It also stayed put for a good 6 hrs on me and I have oily/combo skin. It was 25 dollars which I thought was overpriced at first but the quality of this blush is outstanding and worth the money. I am loving this blush along with sweet as cocoa which I recommend looking at if you're dark skinned. So happy I picked this up.

I bought this blush in a pan.
It gives such a pretty flush of color, i has a shimmer to it but it looks like your are glowing from within ;-)
i have slightly mature skin so i stay away from highlighters or blushes that has lots of glitters/shimmers in it but this blush is so amazing.
for reference i am a NW20/NW25 skintype in Mac terms.

I love this blush!!! This was my first ever blush from MAC and by far my favorite. It's pretty shimmery but not too shimmery for day time in my opinion. I usually put a little powder over it to tone down the shimmer. It's also a great color for my medium plus skin tone. I'm in love!!

The fence, with two layers separated by road for border-control vehicles, would run for about 700 miles, at an estimated cost of $1.5 to $2 million-a-mile, in five strategic areas where crossings are particularly frequent. A fence has worked in the San Diego area where illegal-alien arrests have declined sharply since 1996, when construction began. Illegal crossings picked up elsewhere, which critics of the extended fence argue will happen again: A fence will only shift migration patterns.
It is true that a fence can't be the only tool of enforcement, and previous attempts to depict it as the easy answer to immigration lawlessness tended to be cynical. Last week, in contrast, the House passed provisions to make employers verify that their workers are legal, and to increase cooperation between federal, state and local governments. The same people who attack the fence as ineffectual also oppose these necessary measures to integrate it with better enforcement in the interior.
Whatever the fence's ultimate effectiveness, comparisons to the Berlin Wall are offensive. But a certain cast of mind fetishizes objects as such. During the Cold War, Soviet missiles and American missiles were considered equally immoral by arms-control advocates, no matter the differing nature and aims of the governments wielding them. A missile was a missile. Similarly, opponents of a border fence apparently consider any wall objectionable as a wall, whether it is an instrument of repression or a way for a nation of laws to see that those laws are obeyed.
Americans can reinforce and extend their border fence with a clean conscience.

Great concerns have been raised about the exposure and possible adverse influence of nanomaterials due to their wide applications in a variety of fields, such as biomedicine and daily lives. The blood circulation system and blood cells form an important barrier against invaders, including nanomaterials. However, studies of the biological effects of nanomaterials on blood cells have been limited and without clear conclusions thus far. In the current study, the biological influence of quantum dots (QDs) with various surface coating on erythroid cells and graphene oxide (GO) on macrophages was closely investigated. We found that QDs posed great damage to macrophages through intracellular accumulation of QDs coupled with reactive oxygen species generation, particularly for QDs coated with PEG-NH2. QD modified with polyethylene glycol-conjugated amine particles exerted robust inhibition on cell proliferation of J744A.1 macrophages, irrespective of apoptosis. Additionally, to the best of our knowledge, our study is the first to have demonstrated that GO could provoke apoptosis of erythroid cells through oxidative stress in E14.5 fetal liver erythroid cells and in vivo administration of GO-diminished erythroid population in spleen, associated with disordered erythropoiesis in mice.
Of the popular nanomaterials, quantum dots (QDs) and graphene have promising applications in various fields; however, the cytotoxicty of these nanomaterials is also largely concerned [1, 2]. To date, a few studies have revealed that QDs and graphene posed harm to a spectrum of organisms and cells [3–6]. Blood cells are a large group of cells that play critical roles in many physiological and pathological processes. Of the blood cells, erythrocytes are responsible for carrying oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other wastes; whereas, macrophages are part of the immune system responsible for inflammation and the clearance of pathogens [7]. Erythropoiesis is a highly dynamic process that produces numerous new red blood cells (RBCs), which requires a large amount of iron [8, 9]. Senescent erythrocytes undergo phagocytosis by macrophages, and iron is released into the circulation for erythropoiesis upon erythropoietic demand [10]. Thus, erythrocytes and macrophages are essentially involved in governing the balance of erythropoiesis and iron recycling in the body. Thus far, limited work has been performed in blood cells in evaluating the biosafety of QDs and graphene.
Previous studies have documented that QDs could transport through the plasma membrane of RBCs, exerting potential impairment on the survival or function of RBCs [11]. Our own studies have demonstrated that QDs engulfed by macrophages in spleen could cause impairment to macrophages, which triggered the accumulation of aged RBCs in spleen with splenomegaly [12]. A few other studies have also suggested that graphene or graphene oxide (GO) might impose toxicity to RBCs through hemolysis and incur cell death and cytoskeleton destruction to macrophages [13–16]. To date, the cytotoxicity and related mechanisms of QDs and graphene still remain inconclusive for blood cells due to limited data. To this end, in the current study, we embarked on the cytotoxicity of QDs with different surface modifications to macrophages and GO to erythroid cells. Overall, we demonstrated significant adverse effects of QDs on macrophages and GO on erythrocytes.
QDs with the same core Cd/Te coated with Sn/S and the same diameter (approximately 4 nm) modified with polyethylene glycol (PEG) (QD-PEG), PEG-conjugated amine (QD-PEG-NH2), or PEG-conjugated carboxyl groups (QD-PEG-COOH) were purchased from Wuhan Jiayuan Quantum Dots Co., Ltd. (Wuhan, China) [12, 17]. The evaluation of the fluorescence spectrum indicated that the maximum emission wavelength for QDs used here was around 605 nm, indicative of red light. GO was synthesized using the Hummers method with minor revisions as previously described [18]. The size of GO was 300 to 1,000 nm, and the thickness was approximately 1 nm [18]. GO suspension was stable for at least 1 month. GO suspension was diluted in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) for the following experiments.
Regarding the GO administration in vivo, 6-week-old BALB/C male mice were intraperitoneally injected with 200 μl GO suspension at a concentration of 1 mg/ml (10 mg/kg body weight) every 3 days for 3 weeks. Control mice received PBS only. Twenty four h after the final administration, blood was collected via the heart, and complete blood count (CBC) analysis was carried out using a whole blood analyzer at Peking University Health Center. After the mice were sacrificed, organs were collected.
After perfusion with saline, livers were perfused with 0.05% collagenase and then minced and resuspended in 0.05 g/ml collagenase type IV (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) in Hank's balanced salt buffer [18]. The samples were then incubated in the solution without either cadmium or magnesium for enzymatic digestion at 37°C for 30 min. The digested samples were passed through 70 μm filters. The cells were resuspended in PBS and then incubated with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated anti-F4/80 mAb (eBioscience Inc., San Diego, CA, USA) for the selection of macrophage population. Phycoerythrin (PE)-conjugated anti-Ter119 mAb (BD Pharmingen, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA) was applied to cell suspension for erythroid cell selection. After washing, the cells were analyzed on a fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) Calibur™ (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA). Splenocytes were similarly prepared from the spleen for FACS analysis.
Mouse J774A.1 (purchased from the Shanghai Cell Bank of Type Culture Collection of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai, China) were cultured in DMEM (Hyclone, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco, Carlsbad, CA, USA) and 100 U/ml penicillin/streptomycin (Gibco). E14.5 fetal liver cells were isolated and cultured as described [19].
Regarding the assessment of intracellular cadmium mass, J774A.1 cells cultured in 10-cm plates were exposed to QDs for 24 h. Thereafter, the cells were collected and washed with PBS for three times, and cells were digested with HNO3 and H2O2 (3:2, v/v) by microwave-assisted extraction. After the removal of acid, the digested samples were diluted to 5 ml, and Cd mass was assessed using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) (Agilent 7500, Santa Clara, CA, USA) according to the protocol as previously described [20]. A series of cadmium standard solutions (10, 5, 2, 1, 0.5, 0.2, and 0 ng/g) were prepared to conduct a standard curve for the calibration of Cd concentration.
Cell proliferation was evaluated by the BrdU incorporation assay (Roche, Penzberg, Germany). Briefly, the cells were seeded in 96-well plates with 5.0 × 104 cells per well in 100 μl. The cells were starved in 1% FBS serum medium overnight. The cells were then treated with 47 μg/ml QDs for 48 h, and cell growth was examined according to the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
After exposure to 47 μg/ml QDs for 24 h, the cells were fixed by formaldehyde, followed by a wash with 1% Triton X-100 in PBS. FITC-conjugated phalloidin (Molecular Probes, Invitrogen Corporation, Grand Island, NY, USA) was used to stain filamentous actin (F-actin), and nuclei were counterstained with 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) (blue) (Molecular Probes). Laser scanning confocal microscopy was performed to image cells as previously described [21].
After preincubation with 10 μM 2'-7'-Dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) (Sigma-Aldrich) for 30 min, the J774A.1 cells seeded in 24 well-plate (1.0 × 105 per well) were treated with QDs at 47 μg/ml for 6 h. After treatment, the emission spectra of dichlorodihydrofluorescein (DCF) fluorescence at 525 nM were measured using FACS Calibur™ (BD Biosciences). The E14.5 fetal cells were similarly cultured and preincubated with DCFH-DA. Thereafter, the cells were washed with PBS, and treated with 10, 20, 40, and 80 μg/ml GO for 15 min, 0.5 h, 1 h, and 6 h, respectively, followed by DCF fluorescence determination.
For apoptosis analysis of erythroid cells from spleen, splenic cell suspension was co-stained with PE-conjugated anti-Ter119 Ab, FITC-conjugated Annexin V and 7-amino-actinomycin D (7AAD). The cell death of erythroid cells was determined with the channels of Annexin V fluorescence and 7AAD fluorescence by gating Ter119+ cells. With respect to J774A.1 cells, after exposure to QDs for 24 h, the cells were subject to FITC-conjugated Annexin V and propidium iodide (PI) staining. Apoptotic and necrotic cells were assessed by FACS as described previously [22]. The E14.5 fetal liver cells were treated with 20 μg/ml GO for 18 h, and cell death was then similarly examined.
One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was employed to assess the mean difference among the groups compared to control. The difference between the two groups was analyzed with two-tailed Student's t test. All experimental data were shown in mean ± SD. P < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.
All animal care and surgical procedures were approved by the Animal Ethics Committee at the Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Our recent study suggested that sodium arsenite induced substantial oxidative stress (ROS synthesis), resulting in apoptosis on erythroid cells [30]. We therefore assessed the intracellular ROS level in fetal liver cells after GO treatment. As shown in Figure 5B, the DCF fluorescent intensity was greatly enhanced in fetal liver cells treated with GO at various concentrations for only 15 min (Figure 5B, P < 0.001). The clear shift of DCF fluorescent peak continued at 0.5, 1, and 6 h (Figure 5B, P < 0.001). These results together suggested that GO-induced apoptosis in erythroid cells was likely dependent on ROS-mediated oxidative stress, similar to the mechanism responsible for arsenic-stimulated apoptosis in erythroid cells [30]. Additionally, GO treatment was here determined to cause cell death in erythroid cells via apopotosis, similar to a study demonstrating that graphene stimulated ROS generation and induced cell death via apoptosis in PC12 cells, a cell line derived from a pheochromocytoma of the rat adrenal medulla [4].
The blood circulation system is an important barrier against invaders, including nanomaterials under biomedical applications or environmental absorption. The blood cells are primarily responsible for governing their trafficking and systemic translocation. Since RBCs are the most abundant cell population in peripheral blood (4.1 to 5.9 × 106/ml RBCs vs. 4.4 to 11.3 × 106/ml white blood cells in humans), these cells presumably have a much greater probability of exposure to nanomaterials in the circulation after administration, with possible adverse effects such as hemolysis [33–35]. For clearance of nanomaterials from the circulation, the macrophages are responsible for recognizing and ingesting these particles [36]. Therefore, the nanomaterials transporting in the circulation or deposited within macrophages could cause harm to these cells as well as to the immune system. To date, studies on toxicity of QDs and GO to RBCs or macrophages have been limited and without conclusive answers, and this certainly warrants detailed investigation.
Our combined results demonstrated that QDs could be readily engulfed by macrophages and provoked intracellular ROS generation. Particularly, QDs coated with PEG-NH2 had a greater capability for entering the cells and revealed a robust ability to repress the proliferation of J774A.1 cells. This indicated that surface modification could be optimized to ensure the function and the safety of QDs as well. Meanwhile, to the best of our knowledge, the biological impact of graphene on erythroid progenitor cells has not been previously reported. Our study is the first to demonstrate that GO could provoke apoptosis of erythroid cells in vitro and in vivo. These data suggested that GO could likely possess the potential to disrupt the concerted balance of erythropoiesis in mammalians including humans. Thus, the adverse effects of GO on RBCs warranted further detail investigation, especially for humans under biomedical and environmental exposure.

Former Congresswoman Ellen Tauscher spoke about U.S. and Russian nuclear arsenals. She said the U.S. and Russia should further reduce their nuclear arsenals down to 1000 deployed weapons and 2500 weapons overall. The former undersecretary of state for arms control said that a new arms treaty was unlikely in the next couple of years, and that new reductions should be done after accounting for the nuclear programs in Iran and North Korea. Topics included budgetary restraints. This was the opening keynote address at the Fifth Annual Nuclear Deterrence Summit, "Maintaining a Credible Deterrent Amidst Funding Constraints," held February 19-22, 2013, at the Renaissance Capital View Hotel by ExchangeMonitor Publications and Forums. close

1. Fly to Stockholm.
2. Track down the twisted, obsessed collector who stole her grandfather's priceless Mauritius stamp.
3. Try not to get killed in the process.
But for feisty Joss Chastain there's only one problem. John "Bax" Baxter is the best private eye--sorry, executive security professional--in the business. And her last chance for getting the multimillion-dollar stamp back.

Talk about it in Basketball Recruiting Board
Florida State basketball head coach Leonard Hamilton and his staff received some good news from a long way away on Friday.
Anchorage, Alaska point guard Devon Bookert committed to FSU over San Diego State, Oklahoma State, DePaul, Oregon State, and California among others.
"I've been waiting to figure out which school I want to go to and been giving it a lot of thought and that was the school I wanted to go to and I thought I could achieve the most success (at FSU)," he said of his decision to pull the trigger.
With a distance of over 4,000 miles between his hometown of Anchorage and Tallahassee, Hamilton and his staff helped put Bookert's father Kevin at ease with the distance.
"I felt as a parent that I could them at two o'clock in the morning and they would find out how he was doing," the elder Bookert said of the FSU coaching staff. "I really could trust them and had a great feel about them."
After his junior year of high school Bookert didn't get the chance to play on the AAU circuit. So following his senior season, despite being the Gatorade player of year, his future was uncertain.
"I went into it and I really didn't have anything solid on the table for college," he said of this summer. "Then I started going to Impact and after a couple of the tournaments I started getting more and more colleges looking at me. Especially after the Fab 48 tournament in Las Vegas."
As he excelled on the summer circuit the offers began to pour in. San Diego St., Oklahoma State, DePaul, and Drake all offered him for 2011. But Bookert took his father's advice and decided to go to prep school and will enroll in the summer of 2012 at FSU.
"It was hard to turn down because I wanted to play right now," he said of the 2011 offers. "But I knew the best thing for me was going to prep school and developing my skills."
His father said that his family traditionally has late growth spurts so factoring that in with the fact that all other incoming freshman would have a two month head start in the weight room and the classroom.
"He realized if I wait one more year and develop my body more I could come in and really make more of an impact," Mr. Bookert said. "Lots of people said he had enough to go play this year flat out�but he would have gone into school hit the books real hard, the weights, and only have about two months where as everybody else has been there for the last two or three months."
Bookert took a visit to Tallahassee earlier this month and had an opportunity to see how things are on campus during summer school. He also got the chance to see the current team go through conditioning workouts, but his father says what most valuable to him was the opportunity to build chemistry with the coaching staff.
"I could just tell that on some of the other visits they were kind of pulling teeth to impress him," his Dad said. "I think for the way he responded to (FSU's staff) there was an immediate connection."

Boom. As in housing price inflation, especially Auckland. Also the noise created when that bubble turns to bust. And the sound of melting glaciers crashing ito the sea. And of unprotected trees falling. And of historic buildings being desecrated in Palmyra. And guns going off killing people everywhere. Even the mating call of the kakapo which has just had the private bit of its protection money withdrawn by a poverty-calling aluminium smelter. You get the idea...
I had hopes that 2015 might be the year when most people started to wake up and get enraged. I still think it might be looked back at as a landmark year, from Corbyn to Canada to COP21 starting to pull together. Just not in New Zealand

Well, I have just returned home from a talk by Nicky Hager at the University of Waikato. Despite pathetic attempts by the university administration to limit publicity (dept secretaries were prohibited from distributing news about it), it attracted a crowd of 750 people (two linked lecture theatres). He gave a great speech, answered multiple questions, and got a standing ovation,
There are people listening!
I hope Nicky had a good break over the weekend. In Dunedin on Friday night he would pause before the second half of his answer to a question and say, "What was it again, I'm so tired, I've been doing this for two weeks..." Yet he was unfailingly courteous and clear in thought and speech.
The thing he said that stayed with me more than anything else is that political parties use negative campaigning when they know they can't win voters with their policies. That simple statement crystallized a few things for me.

My recollection is that nice Mr Key was saying that David Cunliffe couldn't be trusted to run the country because he couldn't remember a letter he wrote in support of Mr Liu 11 years ago, and was therefore shifty and unreliable.
Since Mr Key now appears to be unable to remember a briefing five years ago, does that make him twice as shifty and unreliable?
This is what I would rather the media would focus on, rather than the minuteae of who said what, when.
I also hope that David Cunliffe resists the temptation to drag this out in the leader's debates, by which time most people will be starting to flag. These debates really should be about policy, with a wee bit of trust and leadership on the side.

Thank you, that's it. Another middle of the night thought that came to me is to wonder how many journalists and general media people are supporting the anti-Hager push because they are compromised in the same way that Slater, Lush and Carrick Graham enable.
Like others I find it distressing to read about such hatred, it always makes me think of ee cummings and "hate is why men breathe". That was in a poem in memory of his father, so here's a bit of it in memory of Jack Shallcrass, another good man.
then let men kill which cannot share,
let blood and flesh be mud and mire,
scheming imagine,passion willed,
freedom a drug that's bought and sold
giving to steal and cruel kind,
a heart to fear,to doubt a mind,
to differ a disease of same,
conform the pinnacle of am
though dull were all we taste as bright,
bitter all utterly things sweet,
maggoty minus and dumb death
all we inherit,all bequeath
and nothing quite so least as truth

because my Father lived his soul

'Tough slog' remains ahead in Afghanistan
September 1, 2010
By Donna Miles, American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON (Aug. 31, 2010) -- "A very tough fight" remains in Afghanistan that will demand more hard work and sacrifice, President Barack Obama acknowledged today while visiting Fort Bliss, Texas, to thank troops there for advancing the mission in Iraq.
"It is going to be a tough slog" in Afghanistan, Obama told 1st Armored Division "Old Ironsides" Soldiers just returned from Iraq, where the U.S. combat mission officially ends tomorrow.
"A lot of families have been touched by the war in Iraq. A lot of families are now being touched in Afghanistan," he said. "We've seen casualties go up because we're taking the fight to al-Qaida and the Taliban and their allies."
Obama emphasized the government's commitment to prevent another 9/11-style attack from striking the U.S. homeland. "We are going to go after those who perpetrated that crime, and we are going to make sure that they do not have safe haven," he said.
The president expressed confidence that the proper leadership and troop strength on the ground will ensure the success of the U.S. strategy in Afghanistan. "Now, under the command of [Army] General [David H.] Petraeus, we have the troops who are there in a position to start taking the fight to the terrorists," he said.
"That's going to mean some casualties, and it's going to mean some heartbreak," the president said. "But the one thing that I know from all of you is that when we put our minds to it, we get things done and we're willing to make some sacrifices on behalf of our security here at home."
Fort Bliss currently has five units supporting Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan: 31st Combat Support Hospital; 3rd Battalion, 43rd Air Defense Artillery Regiment; 202nd Military Police Company; 377th Transportation Company; and the 16th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment.

My DS recently got in his bottom 2 teeth and has decided he wants to test them out while nursing! OUCH! The other night he actually bit down and shook his head like he was trying to bite my nipple off! Anyone else having this problem? What do I do? Obviously I don't want to stop nursing, I just wish he'd understand that my nipple is attached! LOL

Well, hopefully it will be a short-lived thing. Pay attention to his nursing behavior. If he stops actively eating, be ready. A lot of people say that when it does happen, to carefully remove and tell them "no bite" or something like that. Try not to react, because, just like the first time you tell him no, he will laugh at you and think it's a game. I have been lucky that DS has only bitten me a few times.. the rest of it was SCRAPING... and I had to retrain him at the breast, which only took a few days, to make sure he had a good latch that didn't involve teeth :)
SAHFTM to Luke born 12-10-2009
Thank you. I'm hoping this is short lived too. He hasn't done it in a few days but I do get the scraping too which isn't too bad. I can handle that a lot better than the biting!

OMgoodness! I am having the same problem with my 8 month old. Luckily for me, she has no teeth yet, but is biting down on my nipple with her gums while nursing and even that has me flinching. I am worried that when she gets her teeth she will bite my nipple off! Is that possible? My goal is to nurse until she is 12 months old, but I am not sure what will happen when those teeth finally do make thier appearance.
If your LO is biting, they are not actively nursing! It's really impossible for them to do so since while nursing, the tongue is positioned between the bottom teeth/gums and the nipple. Watch your LO to see when they finish nursing, and pull off if they start playing.
I found that telling my nursling "NO" and taking them off the breast when they would bite or scrape worked well. It took a couple of times, but it let them know that I am not a chew toy.
I've also heard that if they are teething you can rub a bit of tylenol on their gums to help numb it a bit. Sometimes, while teething, biting feels good and that's why they do it.

HyperSolar Reachs Volt Milestone In Solar Hydrogen Technology
HyperSolar, which develops of a new technology to produce renewable hydrogen using sunlight and any source of water, has announced that its artificial photosynthesis technology is now capable of producing 1.0 volt open circuit voltage for use in direct solar hydrogen production. This achievement represents a voltage increase over the previous 0.2 volt just 8 months ago, and 0.75 volt just 3 months ago.
The theoretical voltage for splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen is 1.23 volts, and approximately 1.5 volts in real-world systems. But so far achieving 1.5 volts using inexpensive solar cells has eluded the world. For example, silicon solar cells are the most inexpensive and abundant, but their 0.7 volt is not enough to split water. Commercially available high voltage solar cells are unfortunately too expensive for use in hydrogen production.
"Our cutting-edge research program at the University of California Santa Barbara led by Dr. Syed Mubeen Hussaini continues to make impressive progress," said Tim Young, CEO of HyperSolar. "The 1.0 volt milestone is very exciting in that it provides us with a clear and encouraging roadmap to reach the 1.5 volts needed for water splitting.The semi-conductor materials used are very inexpensive, which gives us confidence that a low cost system is possible. The process to make this novel solar cell is equally exciting in that it is a simple solutions-based chemistry process. It does not require conventional expensive semiconductor processes and facilities. It was literally made in a beaker."
HyperSolar's research is centered on developing a low-cost and submersible hydrogen production particle that can split water molecules under the sun, emulating the core functions of photosynthesis. Each particle is a complete hydrogen generator that contains a novel high voltage solar cell bonded to chemical catalysts by a proprietary encapsulation coating. A video of an early proof-of-concept prototype can be viewed at here. HyperSolar recently extended its sponsored research agreement with UCSB to further the development.
While 1.0 volt may not be commercially viable for water splitting, Hypersolar says it is viable in high value photo-catalysis application in the chemical industry, such as bromine extraction from wastewater.

Bas Gresnigt says:
Would be great if it succeeds!
Rick Engebretson says:
Without reading the background, I'm guessing this is quite different than a PV producing voltage. In a PV, the electron is excited to a new quantum state allowed by crystal "conduction bands." The junction of two different crystals will have different populations of electrons in the respective conduction bands, thus a voltage. A PV stack could produce the 1.5 volt dissociative potential energy. So this is something different. A PV is statistical mechanics, thus poor energy conversion efficiency. This could plausibly get very different conversion efficiencies.
Thanks for the reference. I gotta start learnin stuff like this agin.
Nathan Wilson says:
Combining solar PV energy collection and water electrolysis in the same device for artificial photosynthesis sounds exciting, but in reality there are big advantages to keeping these function separate.
One issue is that plumbing many square miles of solar collection field for hydrogen collection has got to be more expensive than hooking things up with wires. One leaking pipe can blow the whole thing up.
But the main issue is that a hydrogen plant that accepts power from the grid can use solar energy as well as wind or nuclear. And it can be dispatchable, so it can be the primary means of integrating variable renewables onto the electric grid, greatly reducing the need for costly batteries as well as their energy losses.
John Miller says:
Hydrogen production is one of two major challenges to make this technology possibly a viable and economically feasible alternative to fossil fuels. The second challenge is developing the 'fuel cells' necessary to convert the hydrogen into useful and affordable electric power needed to displace fossil fuels such as petroleum consumed in the vast majority of lighter duty vehicles. The Federal Government has helped support research in both hydrogen production and fuel cells through the NREL organization. If and when successful, hydrogen powered vehicles could someday compete with EV battery technologies.

God talking pimpish to Sean in this line. He's let them talk to him crazy. He is saying that he is letting his hoes get out of control to the point where they are claiming him as the father of child, when the fact is Big Sean doesn't even have a kid at all.

Can't Trigger Sigma EF-500 DG Super Flash
Jan 20, 2013
Ive had this Sigma EF-500 DG Super flash for a number of years. Only used it a couple of times when I first got it and its been sitting ever since. Now a I want to take some shots using it externally on a stand and trigger it via pocket wizards on manual setting only. For some reason I can only get it to trigger with this setup when it's in normal slave flash mode (not ettl, m, or multi). and it'll only fire at full power like this. When I try to lower the power setting it gives the multi pop strobe effect. Can't figure out whats going on with this thing. Is it just fried? Anyone have any ideas??? Thanks.

Take a deep breath: overcoming nerves on stage
A musician friend asked me recently about nerves on stage. Why do we get them? How can we overcome them? I wrote something in this blog a couple of years ago about the 'why' – the psychological background and some psychological tricks as a cure, but I discovered something extremely important only very recently: there can be a physical aspect to nervousness too. On those occasions when my nerves in performance have been greater than usual I had actually stopped breathing.
It seems very obvious but I hadn't really been conscious of it. Sometimes the passages in the pieces which had caused the nerves were physically demanding, setting up a vicious cycle: I would stop breathing then I would start to get light-headed making me a little panicky which would make me more nervous, and so on. I can look back over years of concerts and remember specific instances when I have not played my best for this precise reason.
In December last year I was talking to another friend of mine, Sam Wong (his piano studio in Plano, Texas is one of the great centres of teaching excellence for young people in the world). He shared something with me which refined my new breathing awareness: it's exhaling that matters. The body will usually take in air as a reflex if we concentrate on breathing out. Who would have thought that playing the piano involved not just hands, wrists, arms, shoulders, back (and brain) … but lungs too.
