Ben Barber (Kevin Hart), a high school security guard, wants to marry Angela Payton (Tika Sumpter), but he has one problem, her brother James Payton (Ice Cube), a highly decorated detective with the Atlanta police force, doesn't like him. Ben plans to one day join the police force. When he receives an acceptance letter to the police academy he finally gets the nerve to ask James for his blessing. James is not thrilled, and refuses to give him his approval. Angela tells Ben he must find a way to impress James. He gets his chance when James offers to bring him on a ride along.
James is currently on an intense case in search of a crime kingpin, Omar (Laurence Fishburne), that no one has ever seen. The case is so intense that Lt. Brooks (Bruce McGill) wants him to stay away from it. With help from his partners Santiago (John Leguizamo) and Miggs (Bryan Callen), they get closer to finally identifying Omar. Now with Ben on the ride along things will get extremely deep for James and his team.
Director Tim Story does an excellent job of putting this slapstick comedy together. Especially when deciding to have Kevin Hart and Ice Cube play the key roles to this fantastic story. He assembled a winner with these two hysterical actors that carry the story along. With the well placed action scenes, his does a great job with these two comedians and they take it even further.
This hilarious film brings you on the inside of what it would be like to be on a ride along with a police detective. With the intense action scenes and its hysterical dialogue, this film will definitely entertain and make you laugh.

Rifkin Farms, located on Route 527, has provided locals with farm fresh products for more than sixty years.
Owner Hal Rifkin continues to work the same land his parents purchased, though the business has undergone transformations.
It started out as a poultry farm. Then, in 1954 we became a dairy farm and pasteurized and processed our own milk and had routes. In the sixties, we dropped the dairy farm completely and started growing vegetables.
Throughout the market, peppers, cucumbers, string beans, and lettuce abound, along with Jersey staples like apples, corn and tomatoes. Rifkin Farms also sells an assortment of flowers. Petunias, marigolds, zinnias, begonias, and dahlias are just some of the choices offered to those with a green thumb.
The rifkin's work within the greenhouses a process that began on March 1 when shipments of flowers arrive. While the Rifkins have completed one phase of the summer cycle, the growing continues with produce.
"We're picking corn and the squash all every year, and the tomatoes too. The peppers and the tomatoes and the eggplants and the cantaloupes and watermelons come later in July, around the fifteenth.

Microsoft has had versions of its Application Compatibility Toolkit for years but they were usually released after the general availability of a new version of Windows. However, this time around the company intends to synchronize the next iteration of ACT with the development of Windows 7. In this context, versions of the toolkit will be made available for pre-releases of the operating system and there will also be a version corresponding with Windows 7 RTM, giving companies a considerable amount of time to test out any compatibility issues.
The company is also taking other steps beyond ensuring that any application that worked on Windows Vista also works on Windows 7. Specifically, the company claims it has taken about 30 international applications that were broken in Vista and made them work with the new operating system, rescuing things like the Spanish-language IKEA Home Kitchen Planner and a German version of QuickTime.

"HMOs provide more benefits for the dollar in some cases because they are managing their risk more," says Michael Malasnik, author of "What You Need to Know About Health Insurance" and an independent insurance broker who owns Arizona Benefits Connection in Phoenix.
According to Hungelmann, you can get substantial savings in premium costs by choosing an HMO over other options. "But if you'd prefer to go to the Mayo Clinic, if necessary, without having to beg for a referral, then having more choices would be an important issue," he says.
Your need for certain benefits may also dictate which plan you select. For instance, not all plans cover maternity, and those that do are considerably more expensive. If you're not interested in maternity benefits, you can skip those products and save money on your premium.
Prescription drug coverage, especially with managed care plans, is another major consideration. Managed care plans usually include a formulary, or a list of the drugs they cover. Your co-pay at the pharmacy will depend on whether you get a generic drug, a brand name drug listed on the formulary or a brand name drug that's not on the formulary. Check to ensure that any plan you are evaluating will cover all the prescriptions you and your family take.
Look beyond the premium
Don't try to compare plans, or judge the cost of a health plan, by looking at the premium alone.
"In order to compare option A with option B, you need to look at three factors: what your contribution to the premium is, what your additional out-of-pocket costs are and what's covered," says Susan Pisano, vice president of communications for America's Health Insurance Plans, an association of nearly 1,300 health insurance providers.
Those additional out-of-pocket expenses may include a deductible and a co-payment.
"What's covered includes ... what services are covered, which providers are covered and to what extent," Pisano says.
The number you really need to get to is your maximum out-of-pocket expense, also known as the stop-loss -- the amount you have to pay out before the plan begins providing 100 percent coverage.
"You might be looking at two policies that have a $1,000 deductible and an 80/20 co-insurance" -- meaning the insurer pays 80 percent of medical fees and you pay 20 percent -- "but one has a stop-loss of $2,000 and the other has a stop-loss of $5,000," says Malasnik.
As for what determines the cost of the premium itself, the general rule is that the higher the deductible, the lower the premium. "That's going to be the case whether you're talking about a PPO, an HMO" or any other plan, Malasnik says.
Beware of the underwriting effect
Unless you live in one of the five states where individual underwriting is illegal (Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and Vermont), an insurance company can refuse to cover certain medical conditions, make you pay extra for covering them or deny you any coverage at all because of them.
"We've even seen people turned down because they have acne," says Eliza Navarro Bangit, senior research associate and an attorney with the Health Policy Institute at Georgetown University. "I think the explanation for that is there is the possibility they may use Accutane, which is a very expensive prescription drug."

To see a statement from the Medina school board, click here.
Kiera Manion-Fischer and Loren Genson | The Gazette
The Medina school board voted unanimously Thursday to begin the process to fire Superintendent Randy Stepp. The vote came after a two-hour executive session.
"This decision is really based upon the conclusion of a long process of research, and especially with regard to the results of the audit that we received this week," board President Karla Robinson said.
The other four board members declined to comment on the advice of the school district's legal counsel.
"This was not an easy decision to make," Robinson said. "I know some in the community may have wondered why we didn't do this more quickly, but we really needed to allow due process to take place; we needed to allow the audit results to come in.
"That's why we're acting now."
Stepp will be notified of the board's decision today. He could not be reached for comment Thursday night.
Robinson said Stepp will have the opportunity to come before her and board Vice President Susan Vlcek and argue the case for why he should not be terminated.
"The board takes that information into consideration and makes a decision," Robinson said. "If we decide to go forth with termination, we would immediately suspend Dr. Stepp without pay and we would begin the process as outlined in the Ohio Revised Code."
Robinson said the full board could take that action at a special 3 p.m. meeting Monday at the school board offices, 140 W. Washington St.
If the board votes to proceed with the firing, Stepp has the right to a quasi-judicial hearing during which both he and the school district can present evidence.
In Ohio, the termination proceedings of administrative personnel are overseen by a neutral party, who will make a recommendation to the board. The board can either accept the recommendation or appeal it to Medina County Common Pleas Court.
Robinson said the hearing process takes a few months. "It's a fairly lengthy, convoluted process."
The board vote to begin the firing processes came two days after a special state audit, requested by the school board, found Stepp misspent at least $4,121 in district money that must be repaid.
Additionally, the auditor found that nearly $947,128 kept in a "carryover fund" held by the Medina County Schools' Educational Service Center was spent without proper authorization by the school district.
The audit also stated that a "proper public purpose was unclear" for more than half a million of that money.
Brittany Halpin, a spokeswoman for state Auditor Dave Yost's office, said the "findings for recovery" of the misspent funds were referred to both the county prosecutor and the city law director.
The public uproar over Stepp's superintendent's contract has resulted in changes in the school board: Only three of the five members who voted to approve a new five-year contract for Stepp in January, which included an $83,000 signing bonus, remain in office.
Board member Dr. Robert Wilder retired in February and board President Charles Freeman resigned in March.
Board member Bill Grenfell is not seeking re-election and his term expires at the end of the year.
Both Robinson and Vlcek announced last month they will step down next year to allow the three members elected in November to replace them.
School board members said they did not know the full cost of the benefits provided by Stepp's contract, including more than a quarter-million dollars to pay off Stepp's old college loans.
The board placed Stepp on paid leave April 8, pending the outcome of the state audit, and rescinded his new contact a week later.
Stepp responded May 17 with a lawsuit in federal court.
On Thursday, Medina County Teachers Association President John Leatherman said he was pleased with the board's vote to terminate Stepp, but is looking forward to the election of new board members next month.
"When I still think back to how it all started with a secret board meeting and minutes that were given to me that didn't show the change in his contract, there were reasons why we had to have a change," Leatherman said.
Leatherman and other community members pushed for Stepp's resignation along with that of other board members as the money spent by Stepp was uncovered.
"I do applaud what they did tonight, and with them being sued I know it doesn't make their life easier," he said. "I think it was a courageous last move for the outgoing board members and I think the community will appreciate it."
Medina resident Mark Kuhar, who started the Medina City Schools Outrage Page on Facebook, said the board made the right decision in moving to fire Stepp.
"I think it helps the Medina City School District move forward to get past everything that went on," he said. "Ultimately, it's one of the big hurdles that the board has had to overcome in bringing back community trust."
Kuhar urged the community to support the district's 5.9-mill, five-year levy on the Nov. 5 ballot.
"I think the community needs to look at this and say the district is making the right moves," he said. "A vote for the levy is warranted at this point."
Lori Berger, special education teacher at Heritage Elementary School, which is scheduled to close if the levy fails, said she was "thrilled" by the board's action Thursday.
"I mean, I think it's the final push that I think we'll be able to pass this levy because a lot of people were looking at it as he was just milking the district," she said.

Britain on Brink of New Era of Eugenics
by Kathy Jones on July 15, 2012 at 8:59 PM Genetics & Stem Cells News - G J E 4
One of Britain's leading scientists has claimed that the country is on the brink of a new era of eugenics as continuing fall in cost of DNA testing could see even common people take advantage of knowing their genes.
Professor Armand Leroi, of Imperial College London, said that within five to ten years it will be common for young people to pay for a read-out of their entire genetic code.
AdvertisementThe desire to have a healthy baby will then lead them to requesting to see the genetic blueprint of any prospective long-term partner.
Armed with the information, the couple could then use IVF to weed out babies with incurable diseases, a major science conference in Dublin heard.
He added that it is unlikely that people will have the 'luxury' of using the technology to design babies by intellect or eye colour and instead the focus will be on stopping genetic diseases.
Professor Leroi said that in some ways eugenics are already here, with tens of thousands of unborn babies with Down's syndrome and other illnesses being aborted every year.
"These processes are very well established in most European countries," the Daily Mail quoted him as saying.
"Many of the ethical problems that people raise when they speak of neo-eugenics are nought once you offer gene selection or mate selection as a eugenic tool," he said.
He said that the cost of genetic sequencing is falling so rapidly that 'it is going to become very, very accessible, very, very soon'.
The findings were presented at the Euroscience Open Forum 2012.

Panama City - This week's Golden Apple award-winning teacher is Hope Raines, an ESE math teacher at Everitt Middle School. ESE stands for Exceptional Student Education.
When we asked Principal Shirley Baker what makes Mrs. Raines a special teacher she said "Dedication." In fact, Mrs. Raines has been teaching for 31 years.
"She cares very much and she doesn't stop, like even if you want to give up, she is always there even when it's rough. She is an amazing teacher." Eighth grader Crystal Darway says Mrs. Raines' patience makes all the difference. "Instead of getting frustrated with me she will just break it down brick by brick."
As an ESE math teacher, Mrs. Raines breaks down difficult concepts into understandable lessons. "She is a mathematician and she is willing to teach in any way a child needs in order them it to start clicking," said Everitt Middle School Principal Shirley Baker.
She wants to see every child succeed in an area she says is vital. "Math is somthing we use all the time, everyday and in every aspect of your life math is needed. I want kids to set achievable goals and I like to see them accomplish things and set milestones," said Mrs. Raines.
She was nominated for the Golden Apple by one of her colleagues. "I wanted the education field to see what a special teacher she is and how dedicated, over 30 years, that is dedication. Hope has all the right heart for teaching," said Janice McAllister, a teacher at CC Washington Academy.
"She has been teaching us hard all year, getting ready for the FCAT," said 8th grader Andrew Barnes.
"Mrs. Raines epitomizes what every parents would want for their children...a dedicated teacher who is willing to put in the hours," said Principal Baker.
"She is the greatest of all the teachers I have ever had," said Crystal Darway.

Re: BP rewrite via snapshots
Boris Protopopov <Boris.Protopopov <at> nexenta.com>
Hi, Matt, Jim,
Yes, this seems quite similar to what we have looked at previously at Nexenta, calling it informally "intra-pool send/recv". We thought that it was a bit simplistic and not quite as efficient as desired because it moved all the data and all the metadata instead of moving a potentially much smaller subset that actually needs to be moved.
We are currently working on a white paper that lays out our approach to BP rewrite. We do intend to implement our solution, and we will make it open source :) We would appreciate any help and advice from the community.
Our analysis indicates that (transparently) moving data that belongs to active filesystems but does not belong to snapshots is not a difficult problem. Such data by definition is referenced by a single tree, so there are no issue with having to track down many references and to transactionally update multiple adjacent trees in the lineage.
With the approach described in this thread, there seems to be still an issue of having to deal with the blocks that are referenced by the active/mutable trees but that belong to/were born in earlier snapshots. It would seem that those blocks could be copied with incremental send/recv, but could not be deleted after copying (because they are still referenced elsewhere).
So these blocks would have to be deal with explicitly, e.g. by "divorcing" them from the earlier snapshots -
resulting in additional copies of data that used to be "inherited" within the snapshot lineage, which is undesirable.
Our current focus is on improving the efficiency of the overall approach, and that is where things become challenging :) but still tractable
Having been buried for a while with the "ongoing activities", I have not been able to focus on the BP rewrite paper recently :) but I promise a decent white paper with the analysis of several approaches, including one discussed in this thread, in next couple weeks or so :)
Best regards, Boris.

I think this is a decent start, but there are a vast number of complications with what you propose. If you want to change the way snapshots are linked together (with the ds_{prev,next}_snap_obj fields), then you will need to consider all the ways that these interact. E.g. when I delete the a snapshot, its deadlist is merged with the next deadlist. You will need to look at the dsl_dataset_phys_t, dsl_dir_phys_t, and the deadlists, and understand how swapping out the snapshot could effect each of those fields.If you want to do something quick and dirty, without really understanding how the DSL works, and are willing to accept several constraints in the process (e.g. some operations are not allowed while the transistion is in progress; there must be plenty of free space), I would advise doing something similar to:for each filesystem:for each snapshot:zfs send -i <at> prevsnap pool/fs <at> snap | zfs recv pool/newfszfs destroy pool/fs <at> prevsnapzfs snapshot pool/fs <at> lastsnapzfs send -i <at> prevsnap pool/fs <at> lastsnap | zfs recv pool/newfszfs destroy -R pool/fsStarting from this, you can then add support for clones, restarting after a reboot, etc.--mattOn Fri, Jun 28, 2013 at 7:03 PM, Jim Klimov <jimklimov <at> cos.ru> wrote:On 2013-06-29 00:11, Matthew Ahrens wrote:

While pondering about different ideas buzzing around :) ,
I thought of BP rewrite, again. And I felt I see a solution.
Cool, it's always great to see people thinking about how ZFS could be
improved. Is this something you're planning to implement?
Unfortunately, I am unlikely to implement anything of this scale due
to life happening. So I do the next best thing - try to brainstorm ;)I believe, the proper ones to replace would be DSL fields.Why not add a capability to reallocate an existing snapshot,
with its logically fixed starting and ending points, and
then, when the send_receive-like rewrite process is complete,
just atomically replace the references and (defer-)release
the old instance of the snapshot - just like any COW update
of an existing block in some file?
Can you explain this in more detail? What "references" exactly will you
be replacing? Some fields in the dsl_dataset_t, or the blkptr_t?
At least, according to the ZFS OnDisk Format PDF (page 30)
there is a sort of linked list with the active dataset
referencing the newest snapshot, that one referencing the
second newest and so on. The basic idea in my proposal
is to replace items in these chains one by one as these
snapshots are reallocated according to the user's new
requirements; the logical contents (specific userdata
blocks located at specific logical offsets in the files
or volumes) of the old and new "instance" of the snapshot
should be identical, so I think this substitution should
not corrupt the visible userdata when the old instance of
the snapshot is unlinked and ultimately removed.
Indeed, this is not so much a "BlockPointer Rewrite" as a
"Snapshot Rewrite", but hopefully it would have mostly the
same effect as people (and myself) expect from a BPRewrite.
Of course, for some tasks, such as evicting data from some
TLVDEV which we want to remove, this approach is an overkill
(it would suffice to relocate only certain blocks according
to the device number in their DVA's, for this example).
However, lacking *any* BPRewrite to do this "properly", having
a suboptimal tool now is better than having nothing for the
foreseeable future ;)I must confess I don't understand this question completely,
> What do you do with the blkptr_t's that you've send|recv'd but still
> exist in subsequent snapshots, the filesystem, or deadlists?
which probably means that after all I didn't fully grasp all
the under-the-hood concepts of ZFS :(
Still, the way I see it, ZFS stores data in leafs of a big tree,
with branches being the metadata, including the uberblocks and
root, the directories of datasets and of their components such as
the snapshots, and ultimately a root dnode in each dataset which
contains trees of metadata for each file's blocks stored in the
blkptr_t structures.
Of course, pieces of metadata internal to the snapshot (references
to newly allocated userdata) are recreated anew, as for any newly
made write operation.
I think your question implies that other (probably newer) snapshots
and the active dataset may also contain references to the same DVAs
that the older snapshot contained (i.e. due to some normal update
operations which replaced some metadata and retained other items).
If so, this would indeed be a complication, though likely not fatal
if we can work around this problem by walking and similarly rewriting
the metadata as needed in newer depending datasets (snapshots, active,
clones...) At least for the newer snapshots, such replacement could
also be atomic (prepare new metadata, commit its inclusion into the
metadata tree), but for live data this might need some more careful
approach... unless this operation can not be presented to the system
as indistinguishable from a normal file update, when its logical
blocks begin having new on-disk locations and metadata after TXG #X.
I hope this wandering in the woods does not sound too stupid and
the proposal is not a still-born from the start? ;)

she wakes up in a beach hut in Tulum, she hears the waves gently hitting the sand banks. She pulls down the white cotton sheets, adjusts her floral bandeau that she fell asleep in and ties her wavy surf hair in a top knot. Small trails of sand are scattered around the floor leaving memories of yesterday's festivites . "I have never seen the stars look so magical" she whispered to him "was last night a dream?" he give her a wink and she took a big gulp.
She wrapped her delicate white gladiator sandals around her feet and pulled on her rugged denim shorts. She skipped out of her beach hut, light, happy and free. These are the days she lives for, these are the days that make her feel complete.

/ Lack of comments ???
· 2012/07/27 - 17:37
I have posted 4 blogs over the last 4 months, received over 150 views on 3 of them and over 200 on one , but zero comments. Do I have a problem with my site or do other members have problems with my posts?
· 2012/07/27 - 20:41
That's the nature of the site. Just like everything else in life - some people are popular, some aren't.
· 2012/07/27 - 22:23
Sometimes, when you do not comment someone else's post, they don't comment yours... (excuse my english...)
· 2012/07/28 - 03:31
Many upload a lot of pictures, which only the creator, or the friends of interesting.
I write comment only extremely good and interesting images...
· 2012/07/28 - 07:48
You must comment yourself ... and take time to think about content ... nice image doesn't work!
· 2012/07/28 - 08:18
You should take that you have so many views as a compliment. People look; they may not comment but yet they have visited your blog.
The more you post, the more people will see your work.
Good Luck with getting that which you desire.
· 2012/07/28 - 09:27
My guess is it has nothing to do with your posts, but by posting so infrequently, people don't get to "know" you. Browse around PB and you will find that people who post daily and comment daily on other blogs, in turn have many who comment on THEIR blogs.
If you're interested in more interaction, just spend more time here... do a 365 (?), beef up your friends list with people who post regularly, and jump on board with those who spend too much time here! 8^)
· 2012/07/28 - 10:06
I'm troubled by this thread. These are my impressions, which are not judgement calls, but concerns:
1) There is the tacit assumption of a quid pro quo; you comment on my posts, I'll return the favour. Clearly this means when we don't play by other people's rules, we don't get what we want.
2) What do we want? Attention and approval seem more important than feedback, tips, learning...
3) Quantity appears more important than quality.
Please read this comment carefully. I am *NOT* saying this is what the contributors above believe. I *AM* saying that it can be assumed from the above that the best PB experience is high-volume comments, frequent posts and minimum feedback in terms of content, but maximum quantity - in other words: chatter.
Furthermore, it appears you have to play by these rules or you're excluded.
Doesn't that worry anyone?
Cliques die when there's nothing to renew them and this may explain this site's relative stability in an activity that measures growth exponentially (FB and PB and contemporaries...).
Incidentally, I checked the OP's profile. To date he's posted 2.5 times more comments than he's received, which rather contradicts many of the helpful comments above. I suspect long absences make it difficult to maintain the PB variety of virtual friendships, unlike the flesh-and-blood kind.
I was hoping that the Internet's increasingly global scope would bring the old model to an end, with groups here conversing in Hindi or Portuguese and sharing a huge variety of fascinating landscapes or portraits. I was hoping the site was broad enough to welcome any kind of photography from casual food & family snappers to professionals and concept artists. It looks like I'm wrong and that's why, among other reasons, I no longer post images as revenant.
Earlier this year I made a joke about the new Photoblog keyboard, which looks like this:
Well, I'm not laughing any more.
I hope the OP comments on our feedback. I'm curious to understand what he thinks.
· 2012/07/28 - 10:12
Because sometimes my time is limited I tend to mostly comment on people who are on my friends list. So those that are not on my list I tend to not notice.
· 2012/07/28 - 12:53
I have several friends who rarely comment ... their photography leaves me speechless, so I always comment ... I guess that's who I am.
I understand why these friends rarely comment too !!
I know they are friends by the odd message of encouragement and their help in various situations I've found in.
· 2012/07/28 - 12:59
Just to clarify: I would hate to see this site become a "photography" or "art" site. That would be equally boring and in addition pretentious. So I am not taking issue with anyone's approach or reason for being here. I keep hoping that more and different people widen the range and tone of this community and or at least retain a semblance of diversity. I also agree entirely with the idea that you get out of this site only what you put into it.
One of my favourite Emerson quotes is: "Consistency is the bugbear that frightens little minds" (more or less). Here, I'd substitute "consistency" with "uniformity" and rules how to achieve it.
· 2012/07/28 - 12:59
For me the world of comments on PB is a bit like being at a party. Some people your going to end up in the kitchen with til 5am talking about EVERYTHING. and some you're going to just smile and say hi to. And everything in between. If someone leaves a comment on my blog I will often (but not always) go and look at their blog and sometimes leave a comment. I'm not very commenty as I'm not here very often. My point, back to the party analogy, it's more about politeness and being friendly I think to respond to a comment with a comment. I don't feel it's a tit for tat score keeping process at all. More of a conversation. And obviously if you stand in the corner not saying much you're less likely to have as many conversations as if you don't.
· 2012/07/28 - 13:40
all I can say is I like comments so I presume that most if not all people are the same! Even that is nice is still better then none, so I will just do as I always do and that will probably be the same with everyone else, so all I can say is " that's nice" The main thing is to enjoy your photography and have fun, all the best to you all, Matt from Scotland

Emerson said ***...
... That's a great quote !... Why change a word to appropriate a quote ?... !... ?
is a word welcome (was ... Is ... Will be ...) on my posts ... still I stay here ...
As wrote one of my friends today
" C'est la pensée qui compte "
Awesome words writen by an "anglophone" ... English Speaking blogger
Analogy with the "party" is a nice idea !... Time for me going in the kitchen ... search my Iphone and learn more about "Emerson" ...

Just because it's time for olympic games ... without bad thoughts
... Pierre de Coubertin never said "The important thing is to participate." In 1908, he said: "The important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle, the essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well. "
The Olympic motto is "Swifter, Higher, Stronger", but it is not from Coubertin, he adopted it from the Dominican Father Dido.
· 2012/07/28 - 17:12

I had the same problem, with people not giving me comments on my photo's.
But you know what, you reap what you sow, so I started commeting on almost everyone's photo's i looked at, and well people started to visit my site and comment back.... so if you feel you are not getting comments, you need to ask yourself have much comments am i giving.
Worked for me
· 2012/08/11 - 10:50
Happy Saturday FRIENDS!!!! I appreciate all the kind comments and sometimes as we all have busy schedules we cannot comment back on others - I apologize often for doing that. People don't comment to get comments - we are not in High School or mean girl cliques - Comeon! Lets all Be Happy and Don't forget to Participate in the Scavenger Hunt
· 2012/08/11 - 11:20
I comment because I like the pictures and the photographer
If they chose not comment back of thank me for that ...well I think not thanking for something is not polite
but i also know people are busy in their life and don`t have as much time as I do.
If I comment someone and they comment back I see that as a thank you in it self.
But I don't cry if they don't
I blog and I comment and what others do is up to them
If you want a lots of comments you need to work for them,nothing comes for free
Keep smiling and Stay Red with Happy Pink!
· 2012/08/11 - 13:07
I like comments ....lots and lots of comments. Makes me feel like I'm still in the game and gives me a little incentive to play longer.....
That's the Scavenger Hunt I'm referring to. Come on and join in the game folks....
The most challenging game on Photoblog!

· 2012/08/12 - 13:57
Your posts are viewed by so many. That is good
· 2012/08/15 - 03:09
I tweet my blog out to local people who are interested in nature. That's why my viewing stats have gone up.
· 2012/08/15 - 06:44
I have often wondered if there is an optimum time for posting your blogs. If it is comments you are after, there must be a time in the day where you would get more notice. Also I think tags do help. I have never got my head around tagging properly and often forget but it can help people notice your blog if they are looking for specific themes.
· 2012/08/15 - 10:39
I'm not after comments, lots of my blogs have no comments and that's fine. I was just answering the guy above about my view stats. I think tagging does help, i'm always looking for insects through the tagging search. Don't get me wrong if someone leaves a comment I always say thanks and check out their blogs. But for me twitter has been amazing, The RSPB have tweeted my blog out three times and they have thirty thousand followers. Its put me in touch with lots of other forest dwellers & lovers which is the main reason for my forest blog.
As for a best time of day for uploading photos I'm not sure, probably a working week day which is what you are doing right now :^)
· 2012/08/16 - 08:45
Sorry Mossy not aimed specifically at you. Although comments are nice I'm not bothered by them either. I just figured if someone was after comments there has to be a formula to getting the blog more notice.
And yep you know me, I love to surf whilst at work ;-)

Despite two close races and a controversial vote on gambling in Newport, The Rhode Island Secretary of State is predicting only moderate voter turnout for today's mid-term elections. But the hope is for better numbers than 2010.
That's because this year has an extremely tight and potentially landmark governor's race on the line. Latest polling numbers show Democrat Gina Raimondo and Republican Allan Fung neck in neck. Secretary of State Ralph Mollis says his office is hoping for about fifty percent of eligible voters to exercise their right.
On this Election Day voters will decide on many major statewide races including governor. Most municipalities also have local questions.
Barrington voters must contend with a three-page local ballot, and forty local questions. Secretary of State Ralph Mollis is encouraging Barrington voters, and voters statewide, to look at their ballots before they step into the voting booths.
Secretary of State Ralph Mollis will join the Board of Elections and the Community College of Rhode Island today to register Rhode Island voters. The registration will occur between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. at all four of CCRI's locations across the state. Mollis says because of efforts like this, more people are registering to vote than ever.
Anthony Pesaturo, the veteran pollster and political consultant, and Andrew Annaldo, former Democratic city councilman and mayoral candidate, are conducting exit polls today at voting precincts in the Elmhurst and Mt. Pleasant neighborhoods of Providence. The neighborhoods are redoubts of old Providence, the city of Italian and Irish Americans, but a smattering of Latinos have moved in recent years. (Mayor Angel Taveras and his family live there, as does City Council President Michael Solomon).It has long been a Democratic Party redoubt.
With the statewide primary on Tuesday, Scott MacKay, Maureen Moakley, and WPRI.com's Ted Nesi join me to discuss the races for lieutenant governor, treasurer, secretary of state, and the November campaign for attorney general.

Carrie Underwood used a front loader, Russell Wilson did it on top of the Space Needle, Kermit the Frog did it in the woods and now both the HTC one and Lumina 930 smartphones have done it. What is it? The ice bucket challenge to raise funds for ALS disease.
On Friday the front office at South Korean-based posted a YouTube video showing their Galaxy S5 taking the ice bucket challenge. When the video start the S5 introduce itself and announces what is about to come. Then after commenting on how cold the water is it challenged the HTC One M8, the Lumina 930 and the iPhone 5s.
Yesterday a video appeared, on Schannel on YouTube, that had both HTC One M8 and Lumia 930 accepting the challenge. The iPhone 5s was conspicuously absent from that video but they did take the challenge in a separate YouTube video. The iPhone did not comment on whether the it did not want to associate with the HTC and Lumina smartphones or just could not make it in time to participate. Which ever of these was the case it was a pleasant surprise to see all three of these smartphones take up the challenge made by their South Korean-based rival.
One of the reason behind Samsung starting this series of challenges is that they wanted show off their waterproofing that is certified at 3 feet for 30 minutes. Having their smartphone take the ice bucket challenge that has become a phenomenon on YouTube proved to be a perfect vehicle. The South Korean-based company did not just do it for publicity they also donated an undisclosed amount to the British Motor Neurone Disease Association to aid in research for disease.
The ALS ice-bucket-challenge videos have become a big sensation over the last month raising millions of dollars for research in finding a cure for this debility disease. ALS is aslo known as Lou Gehrig disease after is shortened the career of New York Yankee slugger Lou Gehrig. The disease slowly robs the body of all motor skills and eventually death of the victims.

GENERIC NAME: bitolterol mesylate
BRAND NAME: (Tornalate: This brand no longer is available in the U.S. and there are no generic versions.)
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Bitolterol is a bronchodilator used in the treatment of asthma. It is similar to albuterol (Ventolin). Asthma is a disorder of breathing in which there is narrowing of the airways that carry air to the lungs including the bronchi. This narrowing is caused by muscle spasm and inflammation within the airways. Bitolterol relaxes the smooth muscles surrounding these airways, increasing the diameter and thus easing the flow of air through the airways. Bitolterol probably does not affect inflammation in the lung either with asthma or other inflammatory lung disorders such as bronchitis. Nevertheless, if spasm of the airways occurs because of bronchitis, bitolterol may be useful therapy for the asthmatic component of the illness. Bitolterol is unique in that it is a "prodrug;" It must first be converted by the body into its active form. Bitolterol has a rapid onset of action (2-5 minutes), and its effects may last up to 6-8 hours. The FDA approved bitolterol in December 1984.

Beyond and Back: Protest the Dams
by Jeff Johnson
During such dire times as we are in now, I would like to pass on this story I wrote in 2008. It is an outtake from the book 180° South. It has never been published. During the making of the film I spent a few months down in Chile hanging out with fishermen and gauchos and land conservationists. I was honored to have heard their stories told around campfires, sitting beneath the stars with the sound of rivers flowing nearby. I saw with my own eyes where the dams are to be built and the land and livelihoods that are threatened. Along with this story I've attached photographs I've taken of people who are on the front lines and who have much at stake. Some of these photographs have been published and some haven't. I want to thank them and all of you who have risen to the occasion. The fight is not over.
[Gaucho Eduardo Castro. Valle Chacabuco, Chile. All photos © Jeff Johnson]
Valle Chacabuco
It was early. The sun was still behind the mountains. I was stuffing my sleeping bag into my backpack when one of the gauchos approached me.
"Café?" he suggested as he handed me a leather bota bag. "Es bueno."
"Sure," I said as I offered one of the three Spanish words I know. "Gracias."
I lifted the bladder up high, tilted the nozzle over my mouth and squeezed. I coughed, spat and bent over, rolling the liquid around in my mouth. I wasn't expecting red wine.
"Café?" I asked, wiping my mouth off.
"Si," he said with a laugh, "Café rojo."
I took another mouthful. "Si," I said, "Bueno."

Anger leads to hate
Chapter 5 The New order of the Sith and the remains of the Jedi
After the clone wars the jedi knight Sip-ganc was in hiding from his old master Yoda. The planet Dantooine wasnt to far from Coruscant so he was afraid to muve off-planet from fear of Yoda finding him. He had heard a senator ship had landed on Dantooine so he was heading to see it. As soon as he saw it he immediately reconized it as Padmes ship. He used the force to since where she was. He ran into a med center and ran to the nearest worker he could find.
Do you know where I can find a Padme? He asked.
The man told him the room number, he nodded and headed for the room.
Obi-Wan was startled when the door suddenly opened he reached for his lightsaber and pulled it out and activated it. He was even more surprised when the jedi Sip-Ganc walked in. He saw the mans eyes widen when he saw Obi-Wan.
But the order 66, ho- Sip stumbled.
I escaped.
So did I.
Obi-Wan motioned to be quiet as he opened the door behind him. There was Padme standing there with two babies. Sip opened his mouth to speak when Obi-Wan shut the door again.
How. Sip started.
Its a long story, my apprentice Anakin Skywalker sometime during the clone wars must have married her. Later they had these. Obi-Wan said indicating the babies. Anakin turned to the dark side a few days ago Coruscant time.
Still partly startled Sip sat down to think. Obi-Wan sat in the chair beside him. He knew Sip was thinking about his own apprentice, Hatan Korr. He had also broke a jedi rule and had a son. He instead of turning like Anakin he through away his jedi path and never even told his own wife he had been a jedi. Obi-Wan had always liked the boy and was saddend when he had left the jedi order. He had also been saddend when the boy Ferus Olin left the order a few months before. But it was life, though he wished his apprentice had left instead of turning to the dark side as well.
Darth Yoda had sent out a whole army of clones to find all the force sensitive children in the galaxy. He had over 50 canidates already he called them forth to resite the true sith code.
There is no peace, there is anger.
There is no fear, there is power.
There is no death, there is immortality.
There is no weakness, there is the Dark Side.
I am the Heart of Darkness.
I know no fear,
But rather I instill it in my enemies.
I am the destoyer of worlds.
I know the power of the Dark Side.
I am the fire of hate.
All the Universe bows before me.
I pledge myself to the Darkness.
For I have found true life,
In the death of the light.
Soon every student knew this and they were ready to begin there sith training. Though his own apprintice Kyp now not already knew the code he was also living it. He was a powerful student who would soon pass even Vaders power. Darth Yoda was at first surprised at the growing rate of the sith canidates at the newly rebuilt Sith temple. He had hoped that some would come quickly but he was still overwhelmed at the amount. Though many would fail the dark side and might turn to the weak light side of the force.
TK-421 commanded the armies movment as Sarge. His mission was to take what was called a force scanner and scan the many planets of the galaxy for force sensitive children. The main place to find canidates war the planet Dathomir or known as the home of the rancors. He was on the flight to this planet on full speed toward the planet. Darth Yoda had ordered him to search every planet, so thats what hell do.
Tarkin had been Palpatines personal Grand Moff before the whole galaxy even knew his great rule. Then he had died after a few days of rule. But the Emperor had known how to clone anyone with there same memories and powers. The knoledge of how had been passed on to him. Though he didnt think he would have had to use it so early. His knew when and how to use it and he would. The power of the cloning power was secret, he had informed his fleets that were not loyal to Darth Yoda that Palpatine was still Alive. From a certain point of view. They knew that he had some information that he would not tell them but they were patient, for now. He incerted the data to clone into the cloning machine. Soon they would overthrow Yoda, soon they will have revenge. But now the war for the throne would begin.
The machine beeped, steam emerged from the clone shaft. He ran to the shaft and through the Sidiouss cloak into the shaft. A few minitues later Sidious emerged from the shaft.
You have don well, Tarkin.
Thank you my lord.
He grinned as he thought: The War of the Throne would now begin.

Key Properties

Magnesium alloy developments have traditionally been driven by aerospace industry requirements for lightweight materials to operate under increasingly demanding conditions. Magnesium alloys have always been attractive to designers due to their low density, only two thirds that of aluminium. This has been a major factor in the widespread use of magnesium alloy castings and wrought products.
A further requirement in recent years has been for superior corrosion performance and dramatic improvements have been demonstrated for new magnesium alloys. Improvements in mechanical properties and corrosion resistance have led to greater interest in magnesium alloys for aerospace and speciality applications, and alloys are now being specified on programmes such as the McDonnell Douglas MD 500 helicopter.
• Light weight
• Low density (two thirds that of aluminium)
• Good high temperature mechanical properties
• Good to excellent corrosion resistance
For many years, RZ5 alloy has been the preferred material for helicopter transmission casings due to the combination of low density and good mechanical properties. More recently, however, the requirement for longer intervals between overhauls and hence improved corrosion properties has caused manufacturers to reconsider material choice.
In the past, RZ5 was generally used for gearbox casings but many new programmes will use WE43 instead including the main rotor gearbox castings. For this application, an aluminium transmission would have been used but for the exceptional corrosion resistance of WE43. The Eurocopter EC 120 and NH90 helicopters have also flown with WE43 transmission casings and WE43 is specified for the Sikorsky S92. Further applications for WE43 will go ahead in the future both on new programmes and also to replace RZ5 on older helicopters.
RZ5, ZRE1, MSR and EQ21 alloys are widely used for aircraft engine and gearbox casings. This will continue although it is likely that WE43 will be used increasingly for its corrosion and high temperature properties. Very large magnesium castings can be made, such as intermediate compressor casings for turbine engines. These include the Rolls Royce Tay casing in MSR, which weighs 130kg and the BMW Rolls Royce BR710 casing in RZ5. Other aerospace applications include auxiliary gearboxes (F16, Eurofighter 2000, Tornado) in MSR or RZ5, generator housings (A320 Airbus, Tornado and Concorde in MSR or EQ21) and canopies, generally in RZ5.
Magnesium alloy forgings are also used in aerospace applications including critical gearbox parts for the Westland Sea King helicopter and aircraft wheels, both in ZW3. Forged magnesium parts are also used in aero engine applications. In the future, magnesium forgings are most likely to be used in higher temperature applications
In motor racing, RZ5 is generally used for gearbox casings although MSR/EQ21 alloys are also being used increasingly due to their superior ambient temperature properties or because of increased operating temperatures. RZ5 wheels have been shown to have significantly better performance than Mg-Al-Zn alloy wheels under arduous racing conditions. Due to the high operating temperature of racing engines, WE54 castings have been used for a variety of Formula 1 engine parts and are used for engine components for a limited edition road car. Forged WE54 pistons offer great future potential for motor racing and other applications will exist for other wrought products.
Magnesium alloys are also used in many other engineering applications where having light weight is a significant advantage. Magnesium-zirconium alloys tend to be used in relatively low volume applications where they are processed by sand or investment casting, or wrought products by extrusion or forging. Zirconium-free alloys, principally AZ91 but also other alloys, are used in automotive and various other high volume applications.
As mentioned above Melram 072, the metal matrix composite is used in the bicycle industry due to its excellent stiffness and reduced weight compared to aluminium.
Other applications include electronics, sporting goods, nuclear applications, office equipment, flares, sacrificial anodes for the protection of other metals, flash photography and tools

A premature infant's first concert may provide more than entertainment. A new study finds live music and lullabies appear to have positive health effects on both the premature infant and his or her parents.
Researchers at Beth Israel Medical Center studied the effects of live music and lullabies on 272 premature infants in 11 different neo-natal intensive care units.
"When infants are exposed to live music they had lower heart rates, better sucking behaviors, and better sleep. They also had parents sing lullabies to their children and when parents were singing to their children those babies fed better, had better sucking behaviors, and the parents had lower levels of anxiety and stress," said Dr. Kim Giuliano.
Researchers found live music provided by a certified music therapist can increase a premature infant's capacity to feed, sleep, and self-regulate.
The music can also have a positive effect on a preemie's breathing and heartbeat. Singing lullabies appears to have a similar effect on baby.
It also eases stress and anxiety for parents, while providing chances to bond.
Researchers say music therapy benefits premature infants and parents should be encouraged to sing to their babies.
"Previous studies have looked at recorded music being played to children and some of those studies are actually over-stimulating for children. There are too many different melodies and sounds, and rhythms and it can actually agitate a neo-natal infant. But when the music is played live the therapists were able to coincide the music with the child's respiratory rate and heart rate," said Dr. Giuliano.
Complete findings for this study are in the journal "Pediatrics."

Baby Did Not Fall Off Awning
But she could have.
Some thoughtful people prevented an 18-month-old girl from possibly plunging to her death in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn on Friday afternoon. After wriggling past an air conditioner, the baby fell through a second-story window and onto a computer store's awning, where she unhappily crawled around as onlookers gathered. "She started crying right away," said Qing Chen, an employee of a pharmacy located across the street.
After another guy tried and failed to reach her via ladder, Chen entered the building and began knocking on apartment doors until he found the one associated with the toddler. Using the fire escape as a starting point, he jumped onto the roof and pulled the little girl to safety. "I don't feel good," said the baby's grandmother, who was cooking and didn't notice when her charge escaped. "I watch her all the time." We hate to say something mean about what is probably a perfectly nice grandma, but someone might want to rethink that arrangement.

Florida Marlins: Negotiations going nowhere with Ricky Nolasco
What better way for the Marlins to deflect some of the negative publicity over their leaked financial documents than to announce a long-term commitment to another player before season's end? The Marlins have begun exploring a multi-year deal with right-hander Ricky Nolasco, but don't hold your breath for a celebratory press conference.
According to a source who spoke with Nolasco this week, a significant gulf exists between the two sides.
Reached Thursday, Nolasco's agent, Matt Sosick, would only confirm he'd had substantive discussions with the club, but nothing was imminent. Sosnick and the Marlins after some early rough spots last offseason finalized Josh Johnson's four-year, $39 million deal in January.
Nolasco is arbitration-eligible two more seasons. The Marlins have a policy that any multi-year deal has to buy out at least one year of free agency. It's reasonable to assume the discussions centered on a three-year contract. Even if the Marlins and Nolasco only come to terms on a one-year pact this offseason, nothing precludes them from re-visiting a superseding multi-year contract before the 2011 season opens.
Next week, Nolasco will undergo season-ending surgery to fix a torn meniscus in his right knee. He made 26 starts and went 14-9 with a 4.51 ERA, 33 walks and 147 strikeouts in 157 2/3 innings. Since 2006, Nolasco (3.78) ranks fourth in strikeouts/walks among all pitchers with at least 700 innings since then. The guys ahead of him: Roy Halladay (4.81), Dan Haren (4.50) and Cliff Lee (3.86).

WebLogic 10.3.4 ClassLoader Analysis Tool
By jeffreyawest on Apr 19, 2011
I recently did some investigation into the WebLogic Filtering ClassLoader, and the larger ClassLoader picture for WebLogic and put together a presentation on it. I also included a demo of the ClassLoader Analysis Tool (CAT) that is a very useful tool for looking under the covers of the WebLogic ClassLoader operation.
The CAT analyzes class conflicts and shows you the conflicting library/JAR in your application that is in conflict with the WebLogic-packaged libraries. You can see in the screenshot from the CAT below:
Not only does CAT analyze conflicts it also provides the XML needed to add to the WebLogic Deployment descriptors (weblogic.xml and weblogic-application.xml):

SMU Hosts Louisiana Tech In Regular Season Finale
April 11, 2014
SMU Match Notes | SMU vs. Louisiana Tech Roster
DALLAS (SMU) -- SMU has won eight of its last 11 matches including three straight and will look to add to that on Saturday as the Mustangs host Louisiana Tech at 12 p.m. in the Ponies' final regular season match. The match will be played at the Northwood Country Club in Dallas. SMU begins postseason play at the inaugural American Athletic Conference tournament on April 17 in Tampa, Fla.
The Week That Was:
SMU competed three times this past week as the Mustangs posted an unblemished 3-0 record with wins over Middle Tennessee (4-3), Texas State (7-0) and UTSA (4-2). In the match against Middle Tennessee, SMU took the opening doubles point after sweeping all three matches, then won at the No. 2, 4 and 6 singles positions to secure the win. Against UTSA, SMU took the opening doubles point and then won at the No. 3, 4 and 6 singles positions to earn the victory. The Mustangs defeated Texas State by sweeping all matches earning the 7-0 win.
Individually, the Mustangs were led by freshman Macie Elliott (14-16) as she posted an unblemished 3-0 mark in singles last week and a 2-0 record in doubles as she paired with classmate Anna Kate Anderson in each match. Elliott defeated Sarah Sediri from Middle Tennessee in straight sets, 6-1, 6-1, Texas State sophomore Katy Collins in straight sets, 6-4, 6-1 and UTSA junior Irene Gonzalez, 7-5, 6-3, with all three wins coming at the No. 6 singles position. In doubles, sophomore Vaszilisza Bulgakova and freshman Dasha Sharapova (15-4) earned three victories as the tandem has now won four straight matches. The Mustang duo won all their matches at the No. 1 doubles position and now boast an outstanding 10-3 mark in that spot.
Scouting the Bulldogs:
Louisiana Tech is 14-5 and has posted a solid 8-4 mark on the road and a 3-1 record in Conference USA. Individually, freshman Jazmin Britos has posted an outstanding 13-2 overall record this spring with a solid 8-1 mark at the No. 4 position. In addition to Britos, sophomore Manoela Chiacchio is 13-2 overall while classmate Joanna Nalborska is 10-3 overall and 8-1 at the No. 2 singles position. Melanie Urvoy (10-5) is the lone senior on the Bulldogs roster.

The Gold Standard In Accreditation!
We are the Medicare Deeming Authority
for Rural Health Clinics!
Who is AAAASF?
The American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities has accredited office-based surgery facilities and ambulatory surgery centers since 1980. AAAASF has deemed status with Medicare for ASC Accreditation and Medicare OPT Accreditation.
What is the accreditation cycle?
RHC Accreditation is a 3 year program. An inspection is performed as part of initial accreditation.
Each year prior to the date of your accreditation the clinic performs a self-inspection and submits it to the AAAASF office. Each clinic is re-inspected every 36 months.
What is the application process?
1. The clinic downloads the application materials from our website.
2. Once the application & requested documentation is complete the clinic submits the application materials and fees to the AAAASF office.
3. Within ten business days the AAAASF staff reviews the application materials for completeness and verifies the credentials of the clinical staff.
4. Once the the application materials are complete the AAAASF staff will contact the clinic and discuss their availability for an unannounced Medicare survey.
5. AAAASF contacts a surveyor and arrangements are made for the unannounced Medicare survey.
6. The surveyor reports the findings to the AAAASF office and the clinic receives a final report within 10 days of the survey.
7. If deficiencies are found the clinic has 10 calendar days to submit an acceptable Plan of Correction and 30 calendar days to submit proof to AAAASF that corrections have been made. AAAASF then issues the recommendation for Medicare deeming using the date that full compliance was demonstrated and notifies the CMS offices accordingly.
8. If no deficiencies are found AAAASF issues the recommendation for Medicare deeming immediately and notifies the CMS offices accordingly.
9. The CMS Regional Office will release a âTie-In Noticeâ to the center within 180 days which includes the CCN number and pertinent billing information.
10. The center must submit a copy of the Tie-In Notice to AAAASF at which time a certificate is released.
How much does accreditation cost?
Accreditation fees are based on the clinic FTE as reported to CMS as follows.
|Less than 2 FTE
|$1,655 Annual Fee
|2 to 4 FTE
|$2,095 Annual Fee
|More than 4 FTE
|$4,000 Annual Fee
|The Inspection fee is $1400
With a background in surgery facility accreditation how will AAAASF have adequate knowledge to be able to accredit rural health clinics?
From the first consideration of this project AAAASF has been working with the National Association of Rural Health Clinics to gain insight into the rural health clinic environment and to solicit expertise in the development of standards, training of inspectors, and recruitment of inspectors.
Who will actually be doing the inspections?
AAAASF prides itself in using peers to perform inspections. We will recruit inspectors from within rural health clinics. It is our goal that inspections be performed by physicians, nurses, physician assistants who work in rural health clinics and have been trained by AAAASF in the RHC accreditation standards that we have developed.
What is the value of private accreditation?
There is an immediate need for private accreditation, to meet the compliance requirement of CMS. However, the much greater value comes from the establishment of a national standard of patient safety, equitably applied across the country. Patient safety standards should be the same in very small markets as in larger markets. The interpretation of the broad conditions for coverage established by CMS will be standardized through accreditation by the RHC Accreditation Program.
An inspection in one State will be conducted the same as an inspection in all other areas of the country. This standardized approach will also lend itself to the development of national benchmarks to improve the quality of care. As the nation moves toward a performance based system of delivery of health care there will be a need for standardized measures of patient safety and service delivery.
The RHC Accreditation Program also provides a conduit for the individual clinic to have an impact on the standards and the interpretation of those standards. It is a peer based program that assures that inspectors are trained specifically to perform RHC inspections and in most instances are practitioners in their own rural health clinic.
How are inspectors chosen?
Any Nurse Practitioner, Physician Assistant, Nurse Midwife, or Physician working in a rural health clinic can volunteer to be an inspector. Inspectors are trained by RHC Accreditation Program staff and senior inspectors. To become a Certified RHC Inspector you must attend the RHC Accreditation Inspector Training Course and pass a competency examination at the completion of the course. The inspector certification is valid for three years. Certified inspectors are assigned by the RHC Accreditation Program staff. Inspectors are compensated $500 travel expenses per inspection.
If you are interested in what we can offer you, please feel free to contact us directly. A member of our experienced team will be delighted to take your call.
We look forward to hearing from you.
