|Hospital working to turn finances around
|Written by Wauneta Breeze

By Russ Pankonin
The Imperial Republican
Interim Hospital Administrator Gary Bieganski told county commissioners last week the hospital is focusing on reversing a trend of operating losses.
Bieganski, financial officer Renee Fink and Chase County Community Hospital (CCCH) board members John Burke of Imperial and Eddie Nichols of Wauneta met with commissioners to brief them on operations.
Since 2008, the hospital has been operating at a loss in every year except 2009. Grant money received by the hospital was the only thing that pushed the hospital into the black that year.
For the period of fiscal years 2008-2013, operating losses total $1.832 million.
This year's operating loss
For the fiscal year 2012-13 that ended June 30, Fink said the hospital's unaudited loss appears to be $956,000. Auditors are in the process of completing the audit.
Fink said the hospital's bad debt expense has continued to climb significantly. She said this year will be the highest ever, with the hospital writing off more than $1.3 million as bad debts.
Included in that figure is almost $180,000 in account receivables that have been carried on the books for several years.
She said that amount was never going to be collected so they took it off the books this year to provide a clearer, more accurate financial picture.
She noted charity care ran $161,000 this past year, which is also a part of the bad debt expense.
Fink said two other write-offs for the 2013 played a factor in the near-$1 million loss.
The board expensed out $151,089 in architect fees during the past year.
The board and administrative team determined more planning was needed to assess future needs of the hospital. As a result, the cost for architect renderings thus far was wrote off and was included as part of the loss.
Even with the financial condition of the hospital where it is, Bieganski reminded commissioners the present hospital is 37 years old and aging.
There are building needs that need addressed, he said.
Another part of this year's loss was a write-off of $160,891 in receivables from doctors no longer employed by the hospital. While collection will be pursued, Fink said collection is doubtful.
Performance below peers
The hospital board commissioned a peer review study by the Nebraska Hospital Association to see how CCCH stacks up against other rural critical access hospitals in Nebraska.
The study looked at fiscal years 2008 through 2012.
In terms of operating margin, the best peer hospitals operated at a 7.6 percent profit margin with the median at 4.2 percent in 2012. CCCH operated at a negative 1/10th of a percent.
The highest margin for the hospital occurred in 2009 with a 1.8 percent margin.
With hospital revenue for the year at $11 million, the percentage of bad debt to revenue stands at 8.5 percent. In fiscal year 2012, this ratio ran 5.2 percent.
For other hospitals, the median in 2012 was 3.4 percent with some of the top hospitals coming in at 2.3 percent.
Both Fink and Bieganski said they are looking at changes to stem the trend of losses.
The hospital didn't get into this situation in one year and it can't be fixed in a year either, Bieganski warned commissioners.
Bieganski said informing the staff and county residents of the situation represents a good start.
He said they are working on internal reorganization with all departments represented.
One of the goals will be to reduce the amount of co-pays and self-pays that goes unpaid. He said it's imperative that screening is completed on the front end by staff to help reduce that number.
He said the report is beneficial in that it helps staff to compare themselves with peer hospitals. Seeing what CCCH may not be doing or doing differently than other successful hospitals is key.
Bieganski said the hospital is just beginning to see the benefits of moving their billing back in-house.
He said insurance payments and other account receivables are coming in quicker, improving cash flow.
He looks for even more efficiencies in the process with time.
Often an overlooked factor, attitudes are beginning to improve, Bieganski said, as people work collectively to make positive changes.
He told the commissioners the hospital has exceptional people on staff who all work to provide exceptional care.

Many Cincinnati residents got a glossy flyer in the mail this week informing them of a public meeting about a possible change in their water service.
City officials will hold a hearing July 28 to solicit public input about a proposal to switch the Greater Cincinnati Water Works (GCWW) from a city-managed department into a public regional water district.
It's kind of like dressing up as a child and pretending you're a police officer or some other adult occupation, or maybe it's more akin to playing house.
Equality Cincinnati (EC), a gay rights group, will have a booth on Fountain Square during this weekend's Equinox Pride festival. During the event, EC will unveil its new domestic partner registry. Same-sex couples can sign the registry to show their symbolic commitment to one another.
Digging Ohio's primary election today. Everyone's expecting low turn-out, which only makes your vote even more valuable. If you're not sure what's on the ballot, check out CityBeat's roundup of election coverage for background on the U.S. Senate Democratic primary, the Democratic and Republican primaries for Hamilton County Commissioner, Issue 1 and more.
Dogging David Krikorian, running today in the Democratic primary for the 2nd Congressional District against Surya Yalamanchili and Jim Parker for the right to face incumbent Rep. Jean Schmidt in the fall. MSNBC's Keith Olbermann named Krikorian his "Worst Person in the World" a few days ago for suggesting that Indian-American Yalamanchili's name is too foreign-sounding to win an election.
Although many voters in Southwest Ohio probably would disagree with its findings, a new poll indicates most Americans would have no problem with a president who is openly gay.
Today's issue of The Whistleblower – a gossipy Web-based newsletter – published the home address of U.S. Rep. Steve Driehaus (D-Price Hill), who voted in favor of the recent health care reform bill. The newsletter suggests opponents stage a protest at his house on Sunday.
Hold onto your hats, kiddies! Those trying to repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" have a new supporter on their side. And it's not at all who you would expect.
It's former Vice President Dick Cheney! That's right, the Dick Cheney. In a shocking twist on the debate of whether or not gays and lesbians should be allowed to serve openly in the military, Dick Cheney came out on Sunday with an answer more surprising than a gunshot to the face.
He said yes!
His direct quote as seen on ABC's This Week in regards to whether it was time to let gays and lesbians serve openly in the military is as follows, "Well, I think the society has moved on. I think it's partly a generational question. I say I'm reluctant to second-guess the military in this regard because they're the ones who have got to make the judgment about how these policies affect the military capability of our, of our units. And that first requirement that you have to look at all the time is whether they're still capable of achieving their mission and does the policy change i.e. putting gays in the force, affect their ability to perform their mission. When the chiefs come forward and say we think we can do it, then it strikes me that it's time to reconsider the policy. And I think Admiral Mullen's said that."
Now while this doesn't exactly mean Cheney will be out there with his daughter in June wearing his Pride shirt through Northside, it is a surprising glimmer of hope from a very unlikely source. Considering his opposition just last year to a federal amendment to allow gay marriage, rather than going with state by state decision, his position on DADT seems a fraction bolder than the Cheney we are used to. But then again, we have heard this sort of vague support of what our military leaders deem the right course of action before.
On October 18, 2006, Senator John McCain appeared on MSNBC and was quoted as saying that if the military's leadership thought it time to change the current policy, then he would have to "consider seriously changing it." Not exactly a strong stance on the issue one way or the other, but significantly different to his current position. For despite Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mike Mullen's support of the repeal, stating in his testimony to Congress on February 2 of this year that, "allowing gays and lesbians to serve openly would be the right thing to do," John McCain stands in firm opposition.
"Don't Ask, Don't Tell has been an imperfect, but effective policy," McCain said to Congress, in response to the efforts to repeal. "And at this moment, when we're asking more of our military than at any time in recent memory, we should not repeal this law." Hmm… Funny McCain should bring up memory, since his seems to have a three year expiration.
Whether or not Cheney will offer any real support to the issue of repealing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," that remains to be seen. But for now, he has earned himself a slightly more progressive title than Senator John McCain. That's kind of like cringing a little less than the guy he's watching Brokeback Mountain with. But hey, it's one more "in favor" than we had before.
Between tweeting happily about U.S. Rep. John Murtha's death and gloating over Cincinnati losing out on federal funding for its proposed streetcar project, an anti-tax group has also posted on its blog about something more substantive: A legal victory against an Ohio law it said was unconstitutional.
A groundbreaking piece of legislation that would update investigative practices used by law enforcement agencies statewide has passed out of committee and is headed for a vote by the full Ohio House. State Rep. Tyrone Yates (D-Walnut Hills), chairman of the House Criminal Justice Committee, announced today that Substitute Senate Bill 77 was approved. The committee voted 8-2 in favor of the bill.

PHOENIX (USA Today) -- One of three people shot Wednesday morning at a north-central Phoenix office building is dead, officials said, and police continue to search for the gunman.
About 7 miles away, Phoenix police entered a home Wednesday afternoon that is linked to the gunman but came out a few minutes later without incident or a suspect, Phoenix Police Sgt. Steve Martos said. Authorities had been surrounding the home since shortly after the shooting.
Officials have not released the name of the suspect, a 70-year-old white male, and say his motive is unclear. The victim who died also has not been identified.
Mark Hummels, a partner with Osborn Maledon and president of the Phoenix chapter of the Federal Bar Association, had surgery Wednesday afternoon and is among the survivors, said Larry Hammond, a partner with the firm. Hummels was shot in the neck and lower back.
He was wounded after leaving a mediation session, according to an e-mail from Andrea Marconi, a lawyer with Fennemore Craig and president-elect of the Federal Bar Association.
"The latest information I have is that Mark has a strong pulse after surgery and the doctors are optimistic about his recovery, so this is encouraging news," she wrote in the e-mail to members of the Phoenix legal community and obtained by The Arizona Republic.
A third shooting victim has less severe injuries and is expected to survive, said Sgt. Tommy Thompson of the Phoenix Police Department. Three others also were transported to area hospitals, but the nature of their injuries was not detailed.
"This doesn't appear to be a random type of incident," Thompson said. At about 10:30 a.m. MST, the gunman arrived at the office building and got into a dispute that escalated to the point where he drew a gun.
The shooting took place on the same day that Congress convened hearings in Washington on legislation to address gun violence. Former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., who was severely wounded along with 18 others two years ago outside a supermarket in suburban Tucson, Ariz., was among those testifying. Six died in that shooting.
In Phoenix, witnesses who worked in the three-story office complex in the 7310 block of 16th Street where the shooting occurred characterized the office building as usually very quiet.
"I heard the shots and that's it," said Karen Frasier, a receptionist at Stearns Lending in the same complex. "I wouldn't know a gunshot if it jumped up and bit me because I'd never heard one. But some other people heard them and said that's what they were."
The gunfire prompted terrified workers throughout the complex that houses 10 to 15 businesses including insurance, health care and law offices, to lock their doors and hide far from windows. SWAT team officers searched the building.
"Everyone was just scared, honestly, just scared," said Navika Sood, assistant director of nursing at First at Home Health Services who, along with her co-workers, locked the entrances to their office.
Becky Neher, who works for a title company in the building, said the two gunshots she heard sounded like two pieces of metal banging against each other.
"Someone yelled, 'We have a shooter,'" she said. She saw two victims lying on the ground outside the back side of the building.
Rob Hayter, who works at Pioneer Title Agency, said he heard five or six shots before calling 911, looked out his office window and saw two bodies lying on the ground.
"It was a little tense. Everybody came and hid in the IT room," Hayter said.
A spokeswoman for the Albuquerque-based owner of the building, Louis Abruzzo of Alvardao Realty, said the shooting happened in the lobby. The 92,000-square-foot, three-story office building is more than 85% leased.
Abruzzo paid $10.2 million in cash for the office building in December 2011.
According to Larry Ruch, who operates out of a law office across the street, 50 police cars, seven to eight fire trucks and K-9 units converged at the location. It appeared to him that four people were taken out on stretchers; scores of onlookers took to balconies of nearby buildings to watch the scene unfold.
The area, just north of the Arizona Canal is dotted by small office complexes on both sides of the six-lane street.
In Washington, former astronaut Mark Kelly, Giffords' husband, told the Senate panel about the Wednesday shooting during his time at the microphone: "There is another what seems to be possibly a shooting with multiple victims ... with multiple shots fired."

|Phillips County 2013 vote tallies compared to official outcomes
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
Phillips County voters went with the state outcome in defeating Amendment 66 (funding for public schools) and passing Proposition AA (retail marijuana taxes) in the Nov. 5 election.
The $950 million income tax increase and school-funding format in Amendment 66 was defeated 66-34 percent in the state of Colorado. Phillips County voters turned it down by an even bigger margin, 76-24 percent.
Senate Bill 213, which reforms the state finance formula, passed and was signed by the governor earlier this year. However, it requires voter approval before November 2017 in order to go into effect. That funding approval was presented this year in the form of Amendment 66 and was soundly defeated.
Proposition AA, which imposes taxes on retail marijuana sales, passed 65-35 percent statewide. In Phillips County, the measure was approved 67-33 percent.
A 15 percent excise tax on the wholesale price and an initial 10 percent sales tax on the retail price for recreational marijuana is involved in Proposition AA.
Phillips County passes 51st-state question
Passing the 51st-state secession ballot measure 62-38 percent, Phillips County was one of five to do so. Six counties nixed the secession question.
Phillips County commissioners advocated in their campaign that a vote for the 51st state was a vote saying a message needs to be sent for change in the rural voice in the state legislature.
Phillips County administrator Randy Schafer reiterated after the election that the issue has not gone away, even though six counties nixed the secession question. "We will work so that we have a voice," he stated.
Schafer said the participating counties in the 51st-state movement will be meeting Nov. 18 to determine the details of their effort to move forward in trying to change statewide representation in the legislature.
Other counties that approved the 51st-state question were Cheyenne, Kit Carson, Washington and Yuma.
Counties voting the secession question down were Elbert, Lincoln, Logan, Moffat, Sedgwick and Weld.

Laos takes action against human traffickers.
Girls ride their bikes to school in Luang Prabang, Oct. 10, 2010. HEMIS.FR
Laos has filed charges against 20 suspected human traffickers, including foreigners, who forced teenage girls into prostitution after luring them from rural areas, according to a government official.
The suspects were involved in12 cases of human trafficking investigated over a three-month period to October, an anti-human-trafficking official told RFA's Lao service, speaking on condition of anonymity.
"The suspects are under prosecution," he said.
All of the cases involved forced prostitution and most of the victims rescued by police in their investigations were women under 18, he said, though he did not say how many victims were involved.
The suspects are believed to have lured girls from mountainous northern and remote areas in Laos's southern provinces and forced them to sell sex, he said.
But authorities have not yet been able to identify any trafficking rings behind the cases.
Stepping up
Laos has stepped up its efforts to investigate human smuggling offenses and to prosecute and punish traffickers in recent years, according to an annual report by the U.S. State Department that monitors human trafficking worldwide.
In 2011, authorities reported investigating 49 cases of suspected trafficking, involving 69 alleged offenders and resulting in 37 convictions, a step up from the 20 cases investigated and 33 convictions the year before, the report said.
Laos is a source, transit, and destination country for women and girls subjected to sex trafficking, as well as for men, women, and children subjected to forced labor, according to the report.
This year, Lao officials have exposed foreign sex rings smuggling Lao women to China, Thailand, and Malaysia.
In June, Lao and Thai officials met to launch a joint campaign to prevent human trafficking across their shared border.
Laos currently has no comprehensive human trafficking law and instead uses its criminal code to deal with the problem.
A draft law on human trafficking is currently under review and is likely to be put into law by 2014, officials have said.

Climbing shrubs can not only make your garden look larger, they can also help you use space that would otherwise be wasted. They help you use vertical spaces such as walls, fences and pergolas to their full advantage. If you have areas in your garden that would be better hidden, or you need to increase your privacy, then these plants are ideal as they give you quick coverage.
What's more, their climbing habits mean that their flowers and fruit are at head height, so no bending down is necessary to see them! Some, such as Virginia creeper can climb to great heights to conceal dull walls or fences. You can create new possibilities with colourful 'pillars' in your garden by placing a pergola or rose arch and planting climbing shrubs at its base. Garden ornaments like this give your garden depth, creating more variety. See below for Bakker Spalding's collection of climbing shrubs. It's a good idea to also check out the category 'Climbing plants' under 'Plants' when you're looking for a climber.

Not too long ago I had the pleasure of hosting some good people from abroad. This happens quite often, something I really enjoy. I mean, what's not to like about showing people around in your home town and having even the smallest impact on how they experience cycling in the Netherlands. Well, in this case 'hosting' is a big word, as I was asked to participate in a cycling documentary for Dublin Community TV.
Producer Rob Carr explained it all in his request:
The TV Series is 3 part documentary on cycling in Dublin. The main premise of the series will be to look at how a cycling culture can be developed in Dublin and what that might look like. To that end, one programme will be a kind of travelogue where we go on a journey from Dublin to Amsterdam via London by bike, ferry and train. We will follow Ciaran Fallon (the new Cycling Officer at Dublin City Council) on his journey as he meets various people involved in the cycling cultures of London and Amsterdam to see what is happening from a cycling perspective in those cities and what Dublin can learn from them. We are of course hoping you will be one of these people…
Others we are hoping top interview are Ria Hilhorst, Directorate of Infrastructure at City of Amsterdam and Theo Zeegers from Fietersbond.
In Amsterdam we will look at the infrastructure – the bike lanes and the integration with public transport. We also hope to highlight the notion of the bike as a normal, easy, fashionable (of course), everyday means of transport (the idea that one just cycles in their everyday clothes is still a hard thing to get across to people in Ireland). The majority in Dublin do not yet view cycling in this way although there is a hint that things are starting to change (Ciaran Fallon, the Dublin city Cycling officer, is a very progressive guy who sees an Amsterdam type cycling culture as the way to go for Dublin). We also want to examine the issue from a cultural aspect. We in Ireland seem to have a very American attitude towards cars – hence making our cities very car dependent while in Amsterdam it seems to me that the culture has a better understanding of shared space for pedestrians, cars and bikes and that has lead to a more liveable city – something very positive to highlight in our documentary.
As a long time follower of your blog it would be great if we could interview you for the documentary.
Almost naturally our conversation went from the obvious to the more intrinsic/historical aspects of Dutch bicycle 'culture', leading to some important myth busting (not towards Ciaran, but the general perception abroad):
Just as we arrived at one of Amsterdam's pivotal 'infra grids', the rain forced us inside for the second leg of the interview, which was equally fun and interesting. We wrapped it all up with a few lagers (the Irish and Dutch also have so much in common) and an invite to Dublin was born.
Typically enough, this morning a friend of mine from Dublin sent me this news article, 'Wheels start turning as city gets saddled up', covering the launch of the Dublinbikes bike sharing program.
'Ugh' was my first response to the article's first paragraph's and main focus on the absence of helmets, a smile came next. Somebody enlightened at Dublin City Hall has clearly injected some sanity into the decision making process…I think it's someone I recently met. :)
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to unlock Mr Freight as I'm meeting up again with cycle trotter Anthony from Memphis, Tennessee.

Buffing It Out At the Wi Spa
Posted By Audrey Archives On May 28, 2013 @ 7:49 pm In Health & Lifestyle | Comments Disabled
"I'm a dirty, dirty girl."
I thought this to myself as I watched flecks of my own skin roll of my arms and legs.
I'm at Wi Spa, getting the ultimate Korean Spa treatment. Have you heard of it? Are you ready to hear about it?
'Cause it can sound like a porno film. Or a cooking show… (weird, but you'll get it later).
At this spa experience, pretty much all your shenanigans are done in the buff. You go to the jacuzzi pools in the buff, you get a scrub in the buff, you get massaged in the buff.
I headed there on a rainy weekday, wide-eyed for what I will encounter for the afternoon.
The front-desk service that greets me as I check in for my appointment is pretty good considering I don't speak Korean at all. I got enough people to understand what I'm trying to say. I'm handed a towel and this convenient little locker key in the form of a watch, and told to go to the Women's Floor where I can store my things, change, and wait for my scrub and massage appointment.
On the Women's Floor, once you pass a certain point, you have to get nekkid. I tread in there, feeling utterly vulnerable and was faced with a bunch of women– young, old, white, Asian, fat, skinny, short, tall– who had no trepidation that they're soaking in the jacuzzi pools and showering themselves in front of a bunch of strangers.
"When in Rome, do as Romans do," I kept repeating over and over to myself. I take a deep breath and step on in. Except for the fact that my eyes probably stayed the shape of saucers, I think I played it off pretty cool, dipping into the warm jacuzzi.
When the time came, this cute Korean lady came out and directed me to the massage area. She somehow knew I was her 3:30 appointment. I arrive at this bed that looked like an ironing board and laid my nekkid body over it.
The scrubbing came. It was…very, very therapeutic! It reminded me of when I was younger and my mom would scrub me down in a bath. The Korean lady also happened to speak Chinese so I definitely felt like I was taken back to my childhood. I quickly relaxed despite being in such a compromising position.
I got cleaned like I had never been cleaned before and that's where all the dead skin came rolling off my body.
After the scrub down, I received some gentle massaging followed by some lathering of some lotion. I liken this to how a chicken must feel before it gets cooked. The chicken is stripped bare, boiled in hot water, cleaned, rubbed in sauce, then… well you know what happens after. Yet, despite all that thinking, I managed to be so relaxed I ended up falling asleep during the latter half of my massage!
After a quick meal at the spa's cafe located in the common floor (where both men and women can hang out donning mandatory uniform of Wi Spa tee and shorts), my friend and I hopped back into the jacuzzi for one last soak.
As we were there, we even encountered Demi Lovato at the jacuzzi! See! Celebs! They're just like us! They go to Korean spas as well!
The Wi Spa has definitely converted me to wanting to get a scrub every few weeks or months now. I never felt so clean. Next time I go, I'll be sure to check out the different sauna rooms available. Opened 24 hours, I hear that it's a hot spot for people to pass their hangover away. Talk about convenience!

American voters are emotionally affected by recent incidents of gun violence, and this sentiment will force the nation's leaders to address the issue and find common ground, two political consultants predicted in Wheeling on Thursday.
Republican John Brabender of Brabender-Cox in Pittsburgh and Democrat Tad Devine of Devine-Mulvey in Washington addressed a meeting of West Liberty University's Economics Club at River City restaurant in downtown Wheeling. Brabender has handled national political campaigns for Republican presidential candidates Rick Santorum and Rudolph Guiliani, and he is known in West Virginia for his work consulting on the political campaigns of Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., and state Supreme Court Justice Brent Benjamin.
Devine, meanwhile, was a senior adviser for the presidential campaigns of Democrats Al Gore in 2000 and John Kerry in 2004.
Most recently, Devine has been producing advertising for New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's political action committee "Mayors Against Illegal Guns." The advertising was credited for influencing this week's special Democrat primary election for U.S. House in the Chicago area - where a candidate favoring more strict gun-control laws was victorious.
"I've seen this issue for several years now, and we made very little progress - from our perspective," Devine said. "But things have changed in recent days and months on the issue of gun safety. I think what happened in Utah and Connecticut was a pivotal moment, and it has changed the minds and hearts of a lot of people. And it has really affected voters. And when you affect voters like that, you affect leaders easily."
Devine predicts members of Congress will be able to find common ground on specific gun-control issues - such as an increase in the requirements for background checks for potential gun owners and banning large ammunition clips. He does not think, however, lawmakers would vote to make possession of automatic weapons illegal.
Brabender added he was very disappointed in President Barack Obama for focusing on gun violence tragedies during his recent State of the Union address.
"My concern is this president is leveraging what is a tragedy in this country - and a very emotional issue - and using that for a liberal agenda that he has had since day one," Brabender said. "I agree with Tad wholeheartedly that there are many areas we should look at and find common ground, and that we can do better than we are doing."
He noted there is not enough talk about the effect of popular culture on gun violence.
"If we would just enforce the law we already have, it would make a difference," Brabender continued.
Speaking on other issues, Brabender listed Capito among his favorite clients and added his firm expected "to have a lot of fun over the next two years with her" as she seeks the seat currently occupied by the retiring Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va. He said he plans to have her talk about West Virginia values versus Washington values, and added she seems very sincere on camera.
"She's hard to label - that's why she's hard to beat," Brabender said.
Devine said he doesn't think there is a Democrat candidate who could run against Capito.

Although housing starts and construction employment numbers commonly indicate growth in the concrete industry, many also watch another key indicator: attendance at World of Concrete. This year we were not disappointed. Almost 55,000 industry professionals attended World of Concrete 2013, Feb. 2-5, in Las Vegas, making it "the best show in years," according to show management.
"Optimism was evident throughout World of Concrete 2013 with positive results from exhibitors as well as attendees," according to show director Jackie James. "Also, our international attendance continues to grow."
World of Concrete returns to Las Vegas Jan. 21-24, 2014; seminars begin Jan. 20.
The third annual Western Star Serious Trucks Challenge brought the spirit of friendly competition to World of Concrete. Drivers competed for prizes and, more importantly, bragging rights as the industry's most skilled ready-mix truck handlers. Over three days, almost 200 participants drove the Western Star 4900SF rear-discharge mixer, 4700SF dump truck, and 4700SB crane.
The course was set up to test drivers in various situations they might encounter at a jobsite. Drivers were tested on parallel parking, S-curves, driver-side parking, blind-side parking, and backing up and stopping on a 42-foot, steeply graded ramp. Contestants earned points for successfully completing each maneuver.
With a total of 49 out of 50 points, Gary Piercy from Othello, Wash., took first place (up from fifth place in 2012), winning two VIP passes to the 2013 NASCAR Nationwide Race. In second place with 48 points and 3.42 minutes, Brian Saionz from Fremont, Ohio, received a $500 Apple Store gift card. The third place winner, Brandon Niemi from Marne, Mich., also scored 48 points with a time of 5.4 minutes and took home a $200 Best Buy gift card.

text: Issue 02 Preview- Maximizing Polaris' Stealth Ranger EV Recoil Staff 0 COMMENT Polaris' Ranger EV is a sturdy workhorse right out of the box and a popular choice among enthusiasts who require a tough, versatile UTV. Its 11.5-kilowatt battery stack and 30-horsepower, electric motor deliver enough performance to overcome most situations; naturally, however, functionality and modification are open to preference. Just ask Rick Sosebee, of Atlanta, Georgia, who has scoured the aftermarket and crafted this EV into a utilitarian go-getter for both work and play. Jensen's compact, waterproof radio from its premium Heavy-Duty line offers a multitude of features, including an AM/FM tuner; auxiliary outputs for MP3 and portable CD players; and a seven-channel, NOAA weatherband tuner with Weather Alert that interrupts AM/FM broadcasts should any sudden changes in weather become imminent. Jensen's universal mounting kit for UTVs makes installation particularly easy. Kolpin's line of gun boots and mounts are made for virtually all ATVs and UTVs. This EV features an in-bed, double-gun-boot mount and 6.0 cases for rifle concealment. The cases have a polyurethane shell and removable inners; the mounts are kept low so as to not obscure the driver's view. A Glock Sport Combat holster housing a G20 SF 10mm was custom mounted into the center of the EV's dashboard for quick and easy access.

Congratulations and well deserved! Your map is absolutely amazing.
Created in: Photoshop
A recent member to the Guild, Schwarzkreuz has come on strong with his first sharing...The Imperial Worldmap of Arden is an extremely large effort (figuratively and literally) weighing in at a full poster sized 90x120 cm. The elements are primarily hand drawn and scanned, then composited together or turned into brushes for use in Photoshop. As commented in the WIP, this map is staggering! It is so darn big, we've only provided a scaled version here, so check out the full thread for a better view! (And if we ask nice, we might be able to get a full size map an admin could host here...)

Congratulations Schwarzkreuz and very well done!
This is an amazingly well-crafted map. Congratulations!!!
Wonderful! Congratulations.
Beautiful! Reminds me of my Grandad's Times World Map he used to have on his living room wall. He was a 100 a day man so it turned sepia coloured over the years- no bad thing in my opinion.
That is an amazing map. Great job.
Beautiful map. But shouldn't it be called "Fürstentümer Xellen" rather than "Fürstantümer Xellen"?

EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. (AP) - The second of two former tellers who admitted stealing thousands of dollars from their bank has been sentenced to probation and ordered to repay the stolen money.
The Telegraph reports that 29-year-old Jamie Gajewski pleaded guilty Tuesday in Madison County to a felony theft count and was sentenced to three years of probation.
She also must repay the nearly $90,000 authorities say she stole from First National Bank of Staunton between January 2011 and January 2012.
Another ex-teller, 51-year-old Lori Surgant, pleaded guilty in July to a theft charge. She's been sentenced to probation and ordered to repay more than $7,000.

Hotchkis Suspension Upgrades For Second Gen Camaro's - Getting A HandleWritten by on April 1, 2011 Contributors: Wes Allison The E-Rod Z28 Finds Its Feet With Key Chassis Upgrades.
In the Jan. '11 issue of HOT ROD, we launched the E-Rod project, our effort to create a silk purse from a polyester double-knit Camaro. In the episodes that followed, we detailed the installation of the GM Performance Parts E-Rod crate engine, a turnkey, smog-free LS3 sporting 430 hp (Feb. '11), then described how the wow-grade paint was laid on the '79 Z28's once-scabby sheetmetal (Mar. '11). Now we're back with Ol' Rubber-nose, this time to take you through the chassis, brake, and suspension modifications.
There was a time when hot rods were asked only to go fast and look good doing it. These days we expect them to turn and stop as well. And if they can handle an afternoon drive without beating their occupants half to death, that's swell, too. With these goals in mind, a Hotchkis TVS suspension package-springs, sway bars, and mounting hardware-was selected. "The target is the upper end of sport," says Hotchkis engineer Aaron Ogawa. "With this package you can drive the car on the street comfortably and still have some fun in the canyon and at the track. We want the customer to have it all, the best of both worlds."
The TVS package is all-new stuff from Hotchkis, representing the company's next generation in chassis science. The front springs are significantly stiffer than the original Z28 coils, 600 lb/in versus 365 lb/in for the stockers, while the rear leaf springs are 150/180 lb/in, versus 127 lb/in stock, and re-arched to lower the rear ride height 1.5 inches (A 3.0-inch drop is also available.) The antiroll bars are lightweight, tubular items fabricated from DOM (drawn over mandrel) mild steel. They're 1.375-inch front, 0.875-inch rear, and include Delrin-bushed D-mounts and spherical-joint attachment links.
Along with the company's spring and bar combination, Hotchkis front control arms, upper and lower, were installed. Fashioned from steel tubing with a glossy black powdercoat, they look really trick. The pieces also feature revised geometry to allow up to 3.5 degrees of negative camber and 9 degrees of caster for ultimate cornering grip, while the effect on bumpsteer is negligible, according to Hotchkis. However, our build guru, Mike Copeland of Diversified Creations, opted for stock alignment settings on the E-Rod in the interest of good highway manners and maximum tire life.
PSC Motorsports supplied the quick-ratio steering gear, while the brake setup is a complete Wilwood system. Rotors are 13-inch front and rear, using six-piston calipers at the front and four-piston units at the rear. A Wilwood 1.125-inch-bore master cylinder was matched to the company's neat adjustable proportioning valve with integral brake-light switch, while braided flex lines at the front reduce pedal travel and look nice.
After a couple of false starts with our shock selection, Bret Voelkel of RideTech stepped up to provide a set of his company's Select Series dampers with two-step remote adjustment, which is achieved electrically via a nifty button on the E-Rod's console. Actually, this was the very first set of remote-adjustable dampers released by RideTech. (They're available in airbag, coilover, and stand-alone versions.) And as things turned out, Voelkel was the first to drive the E-Rod on an autocross course when it made an appearance at the Holley LS Fest.
While the Camaro was totally unsorted, Voelkel reports the performance was more than respectable, running course times in the sharp half of the pack. This, despite the pair of drag radials mounted out back for the impromptu laps. From his seat, the grippier rear tires made the relatively unstuck front end "push like a dump truck," in his words. Interestingly, the Camaro was quicker through the cones on the softer of the prototype dampers' two settings, which Voelkel also attributed to the drag radials.
According to Copeland, the E-Rod's real transformation is not in the suspension improvements, but in the structure itself. The second-gen Camaro employs a unit-construction cab bolted to a softly bushed front subframe, an assembly designed to travel down the road like a stack of dishes, more or less. The setup was good enough for its time, offering a decent ride and OK handling, but today we can do better. With a few relatively simple changes, the E-Rod's structure has been made far more rigid. Hotchkis subframe connectors, with solid spacers replacing the original rubber bushings, tie the front subframe directly to the rear floorpan rails. A six-point rollbar (to be covered in a future episode) was also installed, which, while not as stiff as a full rollcage, also imparts much-needed torsional rigidity. Finally, Hotchkis Handle Bars were bolted in to triangulate the front subframe and unibody.
A decade or two ago when the NASCAR boys began to apply analytical tools (read: computers) to chassis development, they quickly identified the most sensitive and profitable area in improving frame rigidity: between the front upper spring pocket and the cowl or dash hoop. Parallel studies (including a series of SAE papers) by Harry Law and Clemson University uncovered exactly the same fact: Fix this part of the structure so it can't flex or bind and you'll get a better, more repeatable car. After all, spring, bar, and damper rates don't mean much if the frame and/or body give first. The Hotchkis Handle Bars for the Camaro address the issue by tying the upper control arm mounts directly to the upper cowl sill.
We haven't yet quantified the E-Rod's handling on the track. The performance numbers will come later when everything is dialed in. But those who have driven the reconstituted Z28 come away impressed with its overall manners and feel. "In roadability, it's the best second-gen Camaro I've ever driven," says Copeland, a GM engineering manager when he's not building hot rods and a purchaser of a new Z28 in 1979. "It feels like one solid piece. I'd love to put the car on a chassis rig and do frequency tests. I think the result might surprise some people." He believes that in its current form, the Camaro's structure is closer to that of a contemporary unit-construction vehicle.
In Copeland's view, rodders working on their own second-gen F-cars might do well to start with the chassis-stiffening mods first, then proceed to the trick suspension hardware, beginning with tires and shocks. "You don't really have to throw the whole catalog at a car to make it handle well," he says. "Not everyone needs or can afford all the parts we used, especially on a tight budget. I'd start first with what works the best."

In the Hotchkis scheme of things, TVS stands for Total Vehicle System. The TVS kit for the '70 to '81 Camaro and Firebird includes front and rear springs, antiroll bars, and mounting hardware, including shackles, links, and fasteners.The lower control arms on the E-Rod, also from Hotchkis, use shims and spacers (shown) to allow easier adjustment of the front ride height, a nice feature with LS swaps owing to their significantly lighter weight than traditional iron-block SBC and BBC V8s.Like the Hotchkis lower arms, the upper arms are fabricated from 1.5-inch, 0.120-wall tubing, jig and TIG welded. The pieces feature 4130 steel cross shafts and Delrin bushings with integral grease fittings.Jeremy Salewsky of Diversified Creations attacks the spindle with a portable hacksaw. The final trimming was performed with a cutoff wheel.PCS Motorsports supplied the Saginaw-style steering gear with billet sector shaft cover. However, drivers report that the 12.7:1 ratio is a bit quick and darty for highway cruising, while the turning circle is also reduced.The wheels are retro-ish LT-III models by Tean III, 17x8 with 4.5-inch backspacing on the front and 17x9.5 with 5.25-inch backspacing at the rear. The Rubber is Continental Extreme Contact, 245/40ZR17 front and 285/40ZR17 rear.The big Wilwood calipers and rotors are designed to use the original Camaro front spindles, but they will require some trimming around the original caliper mounts, as shown by the crayon marks. Not to worry; Wilwood provides precise hacking instructions.The Wilwood two-piece rotors are 13 inches in diameter to accommodate the company's six-piston calipers. This setup will clear 17-inch and larger wheels. A 14-inch package is also available, along with smaller combinations designed for the stock rotor dimensions.Hotchkis designed its Chassis Max Handle Bars to provide triangulation for the second-gen Camaro's unit body and front subframe. These supports fasten to the upper control arm mount, lower fender pin and cowl seam on both sides. Due to clearance issues, they're not a bolt-in fit on Pontiac F-Bodies, or in cars equipped with stock upper control arms, the company cautions. Copeland advises that these bars always be used with solid subframe bushings.
The driver side Handle Bar was a tight fit around the Wilwood master cylinder, GM brake booster, and brake lines, but everything worked out. With the factory HVAC module removed, there were no clearance issues on the other side. The master cylinder itself is being sorted out as we write this; the bore is likely wrong based on the pedal feel, and Wilwood is helping sort it out. Report to come.Here's the completed package, including the Strange 9-inch rear with a Detroit Truetrac differential for street-and-track handling without the driveability compromises of, say, a Detroit Locker.In its first real trip to the strip at Milan, Michigan, with only a set of 295/40R Mickey Thompson drag radials to aid traction, the E-Rod suffered severe wheelhop but still squeaked into the high 11s with the ZEX nitrous setup engaged. But at the Holley LS Fest a few weeks later, Editor-In-Chief Freiburger ran an 11.77, even managing a newspaper-height wheelie. A set of Calvert Racing's CalTracs traction bars is now in the works. Also, the rear springs have settled after about 2,500 miles so the car sits a little tail-low and the rear shocks are just a bit too long. We'll share these details in the final installment of the E-Rod buildup.

Have you ever been curious about the rainforest? Have you ever done a research project?
Julie has decided to do her research project in Mr. Gibbon's class on the rainforest. She has loved learning all about all of the animals that live there. Julie has been researching facts and is also aware of how certain factors are endangering the rainforest each day. Today, Julie is working on the part of the project that has to do with rainfall. The rainforest gets an average of inch of rain each day. Some days there isn't any rain, but most days there is some. The inch average seems to make the most sense. "I wonder how much rain the rainforest gets in about a week," Julie says to her friend Camilla, who sits behind her in class. "Oh, I know how to figure it out." Julie begins to write the following figures on her paper.
"You can get the answer that way, but I know a faster way than that," Camilla says, leaning over Julie's shoulder.
"Really, how?" Julie says, turning around to see Camilla.
"You could multiply," Camilla says, opening her own book.
Julie has to think about this for a minute. "Multiply," Julie thinks to herself. "How could I do that?"
This Concept is about multiplying whole numbers and fractions. This is the Concept that Julie needs to help her with her figures. While Julie looks in her math book, you pay close attention and at the end of the Concept we will all be able to figure out the amount of rainfall.
This Concept is going to focus on how to multiply fractions and whole numbers, but first, let's think about why we would want to do this.
Why multiply fractions and whole numbers?
Remember that multiplication is repeated addition. Therefore, multiplication is a shortcut for addition. We saw this with whole numbers. When we were adding the same number several times, it made much more sense to change the addition problem to a multiplication problem.
5 + 5 + 5 + 5 becomes 5 4 20
This is also true of fractions. If we have a fraction that is being added multiple times, it makes more sense to turn the problem into a multiplication problem.
When you know how to multiply a fraction and a whole number, you can complete this problem quickly.
How do you multiply a fraction and a whole number?
First, you must change the whole number to a fraction. Remember that all whole numbers can be put over 1. This doesn't change the value of the number. It is just another way of writing a whole number.
Next, we rewrite the problem.
We multiply two fractions by multiplying across. We multiply numerator by numerator and denominator by denominator.
Our final answer is .
Sometimes, you will see the word "of" in a problem. The word "of" means multiply.
of 4
If we were to write this one as a multiplication problem, we can change the word "of" to a multiplication sign.
Here are a few for you to try on your own. Be sure your answer is in simplest form.
Example A
Example B
Example C
Now let's go back to the rainforest problem. Camilla has suggested that Julie should use multiplication. Because Julie's problem has repeated addition in it, Camilla's idea is a good one. Let's take a look.
Let's solve the problem. The rainforest receives an average of of rain per day. That is our fraction. Julie wants to know the total rain in one week. There are seven days in one week.
We can multiply 7 times to get the total inches of rain.
This is the answer.
- Multiplication
- a shortcut for repeated addition
- "of"
- means multiply in a word problem
- Product
- the answer to a multiplication problem
Guided Practice
Here is one for you to try on your own.
Jessie handed out of the cake to each of her three friends. How much cake was given out altogether?
Normally we would add to solve this problem. The word "altogether" tells us that this is addition. However, since the same portion of the cake is being given out to each friend, we can multiply instead of add.
The cake part is
Now we have written a problem. We can make the whole number into a fraction over one and multiply across.
Our final step is to simplify. We can simplify six-ninths by dividing the numerator and denominator by the GCF of 3.
Our final answer is .

here's my entry from the July Challenge. I finished third, which was a lot better than i was expecting. the challenge theme was cloud, and the map outline is the result of a threshold layer on a base cloud image i found on google.
The rest is just a plethora of lines made using the pen tool and stroking (hehe) in black over a white backgoroung and then a spatter brush style effect with a small (0.3) gaussian blue on top. the whole thing was then set to multiply over the map texture i made, with further eraser/brush grungeing added on top.
in hindsight there are some things id change, like the pen-strokes and lettering, though considering the time i was allowed on this Im pretty happy with the result, and the simplistic and relatively realistic 16th-ish century style (in the vein of the many many maps made of my home country of Malta) is something ive been wanting to try fork some time

Sri Lanka 2048
29 May 2008 | News story
Let's talk about creating the future: A series of TV Debates on creating a more livable island for our present and future generations.
The average Sri Lankan, struggling with the challenges of survival today, has little time to reflect deeply on what happens tomorrow…and the day after. But people from all social, educational and cultural backgrounds share a common dream: they want a better tomorrow for themselves, their children and their country.
IUCN with funding from the Government of Netherlands in partnership with TVE Asia Pacific and MTV Channel (Pvt) Limited is producing a series of 10 TV debates on key sustainable development challenges faced by Sri Lanka, in hope of getting a few such conversations started. These one hour debates in Sinhala and English will be produced on an editorially independent basis, accommodating a broad spectrum of expertise and opinion and will feature the topics: Solid Waste Management, Air Quality, Fisheries Management, Land Based Biodiversity, Freshwater Management, Role of Ecosystems in Disaster Mitigation, Environmental Law, Marine and Coastal Biodiversity Management, Environment and Business and Climate Change.
This new innovative series of television debates,
More information on the topics to be discussed at the debates:
1. Sinking in our own waste : 22nd May 2008
Key cities have long been grappling with how and where to dispose of their municipal waste. Now the problem is spreading to towns and villages too. The problem is not just perishable kitchen or farm waste, but plastic, paper, glass and now, electronic waste! How can
2. Gasp! Help! We can't breathe… : 29th May 2008
3. Where have all the fish gone? : 5th June 2008
4. People or forests? : 12th June 2008
under siege by its 20 million people. How can remaining forests provide habitat to hundreds of animal and plant species, many found nowhere else in the world? Since the 'guns and guards' approach to protection isn't working, what can save biodiversity? What new methods and strategies can save species, forests and people? (In Sinhala, on Sirasa TV)
5. Are we running out of clean water? : 19th June 2008
6. Buffered by Nature : 26th June 2008
We live amidst many hazards, but Nature can buffer us from her own fury – if we know how. Example: mangroves and sand dunes saved some communities from the tsunami. Understanding how ecosystems work and not tampering with Nature's ways can be a powerful strategy for disaster risk reduction. (In Sinhala, on Sirasa TV)
7. Nature's laws and human laws : 3rd July 2008
8. Tapping the bounty of the ocean : 10th July 2008
With an exclusive economic zone more than
3.5 times its land area,
9. Doing good and doing well : 17th July 2008
Businesses have begun to count not just financial
but also the social and environmental bottomlines. With corporate social responsibility (CSR) rising, we look at how Sri Lanka's large, medium and small enterprises can make money and also do good by 'going green': being thrifty with resources and careful with their waste. (In English, on MTV Channel 1)
10. Race against time : 24th July 2008
Climate change is no longer a theory; it's already happening. What awaits

Nike has announced the launch of the Maria Sharapova Collection with a video news release starring the Russian superstar and her body form twin made from a computerized, 3-D scan of her body (tongues in, boys - and girls.)
For the first time the fashion worn by the 3-time Grand Slammer will be available to the masses through Nike retail and online. She'll unveil seven dresses throughout the season which she helped to design along with a number of tank + skirt combos.
The collection will makes its debut at next week's Australian Open with this lightweight, two layer blue dress (though it looks more green in the video) with printed overlay worn by Shrieka along with the Tiffany & Co. Paloma Picasso gold earrings for accent of course. A number of young WTA stars have also agreed to wear the collection over the season including Taiwan's Kai-Chen Chang, Germany's Julia Goerges, Russia's Anastasia Pirovarova, and U.S. baller Madison Keys.
I love the color including the contrasting gold tie and the fit looks perfect for Shrieka. But I'm not sold on the printed overlay just yet. At the moment it seems like a design afterthought: "Well, we have some extra sheer printed fabric and the dress is a bit plain. Uh, I KNOW..." and the overlay was born. We'll see how it looks on TV in motion.
A closer look at the dress design elements below with the full VNR to follow...

Uh-uh, not feeling the goddess look, Shrieka!ReplyDelete
Though I don't care for her or what she wears, I do like that she takes chances (even if they're questionable ones) rather than wear what every other girl wears. Hopefully, I won't have to look at these outfits for very long =DReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 16, 2010 at 11:07 AM
I don't like it, but I'll give it a second chance when she actually wears it in a match. For some reason her outfits always look tremendously different when she wears them on court than they do in the pre-match debuts and promos.ReplyDelete
It doesn't look great off, but I really like it on Shrieka. Plus the colour is awesome. If only I looked like her :((ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 17, 2010 at 12:48 AM
I have a real problem with blue on a blue court, i.e., red/orange on clay courts...its just not a way to show off a dress/sports wear with the backdrop the same color..maybe its just me, but yeah,not a good model for the dress.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 17, 2010 at 10:18 AM
Move over Shrieka, you've just been outclassed in the beauty and style department by a mile. Anyone see the picture of Anastasia Pivovarova at the players' party. OMG, those shoes, I must have them!!!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 17, 2010 at 4:06 PM
Ok seriously I saw a picture of her practicing in this or I don't know what she was doing but she was sweaty - she looked like a drown victim who just came out of a moldy pond and got mold all over her. Why would you make mesh the exact color of mold?ReplyDelete
I think the dress would work slightly better if the dress was in another colour, like yellow or pink or anything that is not the colour of mold. I'm sorry I can't get over the fact that she's wearing a mold coloured dress.
- SouLKidJanuary 17, 2010 at 4:13 PM
I guess i'm the only one loving it then? *oh well*.ReplyDelete
My only problem is having other ballers wear it. Shrieka wearing something similar to other ballers is just 'not right'.
- AnonymousJanuary 17, 2010 at 4:44 PM
Oh HORRIBLE - she's on court now, and there goes the second chance.ReplyDelete
Just hideous Maria, hideous!
