We Have a Winner!
Congratulations to John Gargett of Lansing, Mich., the winner of the weekend in Florida giveaway that was available on our site.
Thousands of people entered. Only one could win. John and his wife will receive air transportation via Southwest Airlines to Tampa, a three-night stay at the TradeWinds Resort in St. Pete's Beach, and VIP passes to the Gasparilla Festival in Tampa that weekend. John has promised us a full report and photos, so we can all be extremely jealous of him this winter.
Meanwhile, we'd note that you can still make travel arrangements to stay at the TradeWinds (which offers a pirate vacation package) for the festival by visiting this Web site.
Gasparilla is the last weekend in January, and you don't want to miss it if at all possible. This is one of the top pirate-themed festivals in the world.
Congratulations again to John, and thanks to all who played.

TALP Do-Over Day
We received the following e-mail from Michael Ivey of Southern Alabama: "It is with great sadness that I report that Talk Like a Pirate Day Weekend went mostly uncelebrated in my part of the country: we South Alabamians were so busy digging out from under all the trees Hurricane Ivan tossed around that few, if any of us were in the mood for piratical exclamations. I respectfully request a make-up day. If you will declare an "Official Hurricane Ivan Talk Like a Pirate Day Do Over", I will do all that I can to promote it here in Baldwin County, Alabama."
As you can imagine, our hearts went out to Michael and all the residents of Baldwin County, and all those in the southeast who suffered so much from this year's unbelievable spate of hurricanes. The least we can do (and we ALWAYS do the least we can do) was to name October 23rd official Talk Like a Pirate Do-Over Day, and, for what it's worth, offer our official endorsement to talking like a pirate throughout the day. We've even put up a T-shirt on our Web site proclaiming the fact.
So let 'er rip! To our friends in Hurricane Alley, best wishes, and have fun with talking like a pirate all day on October 23rd.
They seem to like it
We've started getting reviews of our book, "Well Blow Me Down: A Guy's Guide to Talking Like a Pirate," and so far they've been positive. Green Man Review, an online literary journal, said, "Cap'n Slappy and Ol' Chumbucket are funny, funny men." We'll take that as a compliment. You can read the review here.
Jamaica Rose, editor of No Quarter Given, the quarterly magazine for pirate enthusiasts, said in the most recent issue, "I laughed so hard almost fell overboard." This fits well with what a friend of ours told us. She was reading the book late at night and said she laughed so hard started coughing and couldn't stop. So we're thinking the book perhaps should have come with a warning.
We're proud of those reviews, and hope they help bring a few extra readers. If you know of other reviews that have appeared in your local media, please pass them on to us. And, if you're interested, you can find the book at our booty store.
Get Your Blue Pencils Out
While we're talking about the book, we need to ask those of you have have a copy (and thank you, by the way) to get out your blue pencils and correct something that's no longer accurate.
As you know, we have a running joke about calling Dave Barry our close personal friend, and then admitting we've never met him. Well, that's no longer true. On Sept. 24, 2004, I met Dave Barry. So did my wife, Mad Sally, the Official Lusty Pirate Wench. Sadly, Cap'n Slappy was not in attendance, as he was suffering his annual, "It must be fall, so I'll get really sick and avoid the rush" September cold. And Jezebel, the Web Wench, was also occupied. So it was just Mad Sally and Meself heading up Interstate 5 from our home port in Albany to the book reading/signing event in Portland.
The event was a lot of fun; both Dave and his co-author Ridley Pearson were entertaining and their book, "Peter and the Starcatchers," is delightful. But for me the exciting part was, at the end, Dave introduced me from the audience. Afterwards, he couldn't have been more gracious or more pleasant. A little taller than I expected. But I mean, no one knows better than Cap'n Slappy and Meself that we'd be nowhere without his aid, or at least it would have taken us a LOT longer to get close to where we are now, where ever here is. You can see a photo of the historic meeting at www.talklikeapirate.com/piratehome.html.
So those of you with a fixation for total accuracy, make the following changes. On page 7, fourth line, and page 9, eighth and ninth line, pencil out the reference to never having met him and change it to "only one of us has ever met him."
We'll feed Cap'n Slappy several gallons of OJ and get him in shape to meet Dave another day.

Color picking made simple
If I see a color on my computer screen that I'd like to use somewhere else, I want to know that color's hexadecimal code. Conversely, if I see a color's hex code, I want to know what that coded color looks like on-screen.
Some time back, I wanted an application that does both those jobs simply in Linux. The best tool I found was gcolor2, described below. It's great for finding hex codes, but it doesn't display colors in a large enough 'swatch' to suit me. To do that job I wrote a simple script, also described below.

Corbett's agenda creeps ahead but questions remain
HARRISBURG -- State lawmakers signaled Tuesday they are moving ahead with two of Gov. Tom Corbett's top priorities -- raising billions for transportation projects and slashing public pension costs -- though serious questions about both remain.
The Senate Transportation Committee approved a $2.5 billion transportation bill, underwritten primarily by an increase in a wholesale gas tax that is expected to be passed on to drivers at the pump. The 13-1 committee vote brought together urban Democrats and conservative mid-state Republicans in support of a bill being touted as a key public safety initiative with the potential to boost hiring.
Meanwhile, key Republican lawmakers said they will introduce Corbett's pension-overhaul plan in separate but similar House and Senate bills -- three months after he unveiled the proposal -- despite resistance from key GOP leaders and vocal opposition from Democrats and employee unions.
The plan would reduce future pension benefits for more than 370,000 current state and school employees, beginning in 2015, to save about $12 billion over 30 years.
Corbett, Sen. Mike Brubaker, of Lancaster County, and Rep. Chris Ross, of Chester County, claimed that unless drastic measures are taken, the unfunded liability of the state's two major pension funds will reach $65 billion by 2018, forcing spending cuts or tax increases.
Sen. Don White, R-Indiana, called the transportation funding bill perhaps the state's most important legislation in years.
After two years of prodding by lawmakers, Corbett's newfound support for raising taxes to support transportation earned him a backhanded compliment Tuesday from Sen. John Wozniak, the transportation committee's ranking Democrat. Wozniak, D-Cambria, noted that Corbett as a candidate in 2010 had signed a pledge from a Washington, D.C.-based group to oppose any tax increase.
"I know that may have been a very difficult decision because he's a man of honor and to sit there and shift his allegiance to Pennsylvania ... was a very, very large step," Wozniak said.
Wozniak and committee Chairman John Rafferty, R-Montgomery, acknowledged that voting for a gas tax increase will be difficult for many lawmakers and that the bill may need changes to get it through both chambers.
The moves come as the Republican-controlled Legislature scrambles to wrap up work on a budget and Corbett's major priorities by July 1.
Corbett's proposed pension changes face challenges.
On Friday, Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi, R-Delaware, said the Senate may limit the focus of any benefit cuts to new hires because of questions about the legality of Corbett's more far-reaching proposal to freeze the benefits for all current employees and replace them with reduced benefits in 2015.
Unions have vowed to challenge Corbett's proposal in court if it is approved by the Legislature. They and many lawmakers have said changes approved in a 2010 law should be given more time to work.
Those changes include a temporary reduction in the taxpayers' share of pension costs and changes for new hires that reduced benefits and increased the retirement age to 65.

Hong Kong's Yuan Diverges from Mainland's
It's a sign of global market stress that Chinese yuan traded in Hong Kong is now at a record discount compared to yuan traded on the mainland. The reason is global investors are liquidating positions in every type of speculative bet, including yuan, no matter how good the underlying fundamentals may be. Investors need U.S. dollars to pay back margin loans and make up for losses elsewhere in their portfolios.
The yuan in Hong Kong, known to currency wonks as CNH, traded Friday as wide as a 2.5% discount to the onshore variety, known as CNY. It's come back to about 1.5%. Those moves don't sound like a lot, but it's a record spread in the short history of China's experiment in currency liberalization. And it's probably troubling to companies that use Hong Kong yuan forwards markets to hedge the currency risk of investments they've made on the mainland.
Here's how the Journal's Lingling Wei explains it:
The big spread between yuan traded offshore and onshore is due to "investors sourcing U.S. dollar funds" by selling yuan in offshore markets against the greenback, said Tim Condon, Singapore-based chief Asia economist with ING Groep NV.
And as for the future:
Still, many analysts don't expect the gap between yuan traded onshore and offshore to last for long, partly because the potential arbitrage opportunities resulting from such a spread could lead to more speculative trading in yuan, something loathed by the Chinese government.
WSJ's Heard on the Street warned about this sort of thing happening back in December 2010.
As noted then, yuan in Hong Kong is a different breed of currency from its counterpart on the mainland. That's because despite the growth of yuan in Hong Kong, China hasn't taken meaningful steps to make it easier to bring money back and forth. That means they are essentially separate markets, with their own supply and demand dynamics.

Bird Rock Market Flies South
The Bird Rock Farmers' Market Committee and their consultant Catt White of SD Weekly Markets have regretfully come to the conclusion that they will no longer pursue the opening of a Bird Rock Farmers' Market at Mira Monte Plaza. Delays to the process are anticipated to continue and opening a new market is ideally accomplished at the height of the growing season, so we are moving on to other projects for now. Our apologies to the many Bird Rock residents who anticipated the market opening this spring, and our thanks especially to those who wrote letters and made calls in support of the market. We have been assured that there are better ways of supporting Bird Rock schools - please support every one of those efforts.

By Terry Baynes (Reuters) - Omnicare Inc, a leading U.S. provider of pharmacy services to the elderly, has agreed to pay the U.S. government $120 million to settle allegations the company gave nursing homes steep discounts on prescription drugs in exchange for patient referrals. Cincinnati-based Omnicare announced the settlement on Wednesday in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, but denied any wrongdoing. The lawsuit, filed in 2010 by former Omnicare employee Donald Gale, had been scheduled to go to trial on October 28. ...

Stocks to Watch: Sprint, MetroPCS, Ruby Tuesday
By Anna Prior
Among the companies with shares expected to actively trade in Thursday's session are Sprint Nextel (S) MetroPCS Communications (PCS) and Ruby Tuesday (RT).
Japanese mobile carrier Softbank (9948.TO) is in advanced talks to buy U.S. operator Sprint in a deal expected to exceed Y1 trillion ($12.81 billion) in value, a person with knowledge of the negotiations said Thursday. It's not immediately clear whether Softbank will buy all of Sprint or a two-thirds stake. Such a move could make Sprint a more viable player in the U.S., thanks to the deep pockets of Softbank and its founder, Masayoshi Son Wells Fargo notes that Softbank is also likely attracted to Sprint's 49% stake in Clearwire (CLWR) and its spectrum portfolio. It also means Sprint is unlikely to go after MetroPCS near-term. Sprint shares jumped 19% to $6.00 premarket, while Clearwire shares soar 22% to $1.59 and MetroPCS shares are off 6.4% to $11.27.
Ruby Tuesday's fiscal first-quarter earnings fell 16% as the casual-dining chain was hurt by chief executive-search costs, though same-store sales posted the company's first increase in nearly two years. Shares fell 5% to $6.67 premarket as earnings missed market expectations.
Royal Gold (RGLD, RGL.T) said it has agreed to sell 5.25 million shares of common stock to a group of underwriters in an underwritten at-the-market public offering. The gold royalty company plans to use the net proceeds of the offering for the acquisition of additional royalty or similar interests and for general corporate purposes. There were about 58.8 million shares of the company's common stock outstanding as of July 31. Shares off 4.9% to $90.55 premarket.
Stillwater Mining (SWC) announced an offering of $300 million of convertible senior notes due 2032. The notes will pay interest semi-annually and will be convertible, under certain circumstances and during certain periods, into cash, shares of the mining company's common stock or a combination of the two, at the company's election based on a conversion rate to be determined. Stillwater plans to use the proceeds to repay amounts that may come due under some of the company's outstanding debentures and for general corporate purposes. Stillwater had about 116 million shares outstanding as of Aug. 6. Shares dropped 3.1% to $11.75 premarket.
DragonWave (DRWI, DWI.T) fiscal second-quarter loss narrowed as revenue improved and a gain from its recent acquisition of Nokia Siemens Networks' microwave transport business boosted results. The provider of microwave-backhaul equipment to wireless carriers also said Chairman Gerry Spencer is stepping down for family reasons and will be replaced by director Claude Haw. Shares jumped 15% to $2.53 premarket.
Biopharmaceutical company Amicus Therapeutics (FOLD) announced positive updates from its Phase 2 study for a treatment for people with Pompe disease, an often fatal disorder that disables the heart and skeletal muscles. Shares rose 10% to $6.18 premarket.
Corporate Office Properties Trust (OFC) plans to offer 6 million shares as the company looks to raise funds to repay debt and for general corporate purposes. The company had roughly 72.2 million shares outstanding as of Oct. 9. The REIT also lowered its outlook for full-year and current-quarter earnings and funds from operations–a key metric of profitability in the real estate sector—noting a write-down on certain properties in Colorado. Shares edged down 1.2% to $25.05 premarket.
PrivateBancorp (PVTB) said it has commenced an offering of $75 million of its stock. The company recently had a market capitalization of roughly $1.21 billion.
Quad/Graphics (QUAD) has agreed to acquire advertising company Vertis Holdings Inc. for $258.5 million, a deal that will strengthen the printing company's retail advertising insert as well as direct and in-store marketing offerings.
VOXX International (VOXX) fiscal second-quarter profit rose 8.2% as the audio-equipment maker saw electronics sales grow, helped by an acquisition. But the company warned it expected softer spending and foreign-exchange costs to continue to weigh on results.
Winnebago Industries (WGO) fiscal fourth-quarter earnings soared on a large tax benefit, while the recreation-vehicle maker's margins improved with more deliveries.
Zep (ZEP) fiscal fourth-quarter earnings rose 79% as the commercial cleaning-products company reported stronger margins and lower overhead costs.

Sights on the Sioux
UND's Chris Vande Velde continues college success in 2008-09
Friday, 06.19.2009 / 12:00 AM MT / Future Watch
By Jen Sharpe - edmontonoilers.com
|Edmonton's fourth-round pick, 97th overall, in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft, Chris Vande Velde, participates in last summer's Oilers Prospect Camp in Edmonton. (Photo by Andy Devlin/Edmonton Oilers Hockey Club)
So where did the toughness come in? In on-ice battles, for one. Vande Velde nearly doubled his penalty minutes from the season previous by tallying a team-leading 69, only one shy of the career high he posted in 56 games with the USHL's Lincoln Stars in 2005-06.
And then in the post-season, the aggressive 22-year-old showcased more toughness by persevering through a separated shoulder in the WCHA playoffs. Determination kept Vande Velde in the line-up, but his injury kept him from making his usual contributions and the Sioux closed the season with three losses to finish fifth.
The playoff disappointment was certainly a tough pill for the UND lads to swallow, but Oilers Assistant GM Kevin Prendergast is quick to praise Vande Velde's performance, character, and grit.
"He's a big kid at 6-2, 210 pounds. He's very good on face-offs, he's physical, and he gets in the areas to create things," Prendergast explains. "He played an awful lot for them this year and played very well in the playoffs despite playing with a separated shoulder, which we thought was commendable on his part."
Although Vande Velde was a pillar in North Dakota last season, Prendergast admits he isn't ready to make the jump to the Oilers just yet.
"We just felt that another year at North Dakota – which is an excellent program – of him playing on their first or second line and honing his skills a little bit is just going to make him a better player for us at the end of next season," the Oilers exec says. "He plays for a good coaching staff there – they know what's expected of him. We've already talked about what we think he's capable of doing and we'll go over it with him when he's here for prospect camp."
Prospect camp offers Vande Velde and two dozen of his fellow future Oilers the chance to show how they've developed over the past season and receive in-person assessments and guidance from Oilers coaches, staff, and fitness and nutrition experts. This year's camp is slated for the second week of July in Edmonton.
"It's a good indoctrination for them – learning what it takes to be a pro. It's important for these kids, especially the younger ones, to get on the physical training and the weight programs as per what we expect from them," Prendergast explains.
Although Vande Velde attends college in hockey-crazed North Dakota, many other prospects are immersed in athletic environments that focus on other sports.
"A lot of these kids go to schools where football is the number one program and the training that they get is more oriented towards football. A hockey player is more from the legs and waist down, whereas a football player is from the waist up. Jeff Petry is one of those kids that we want to have a good look at here because Michigan State has one of the top football programs," the Assistant GM says.
Prospect camp is a learning experience for the next generation of Oilers, and though Vande Velde has attended the event the past two summers, Prendergast insists the lessons will pay off for both the player and the organization.
"Everything that we have to offer as an organization is going to be here for that week" he emphasizes. "It gives [the prospects] an opportunity to tap into everything, use the resources we have, to listen, to learn, and to come back better for it. The ones that are coming back in September, it should be a big boost for them."

Under normal circumstances, when someone hears the words "Swedish band" and "graveyard" used in conjunction, it generally portends a musical world of spiked bracelets, corpse paint and songs about demons.
In this case, that summary estimation couldn't be farther from the truth. Graveyard's debut "Hisingen Blues" is one of the finest blues-rock albums this year, despite coming from perhaps the least likely source.

CHICAGO (AP) - Shin-Soo Choo hit a tiebreaking two-run single in the 11th inning and J.J. Hoover provided terrific relief work on his 26th birthday, helping the Cincinnati Reds beat the Chicago Cubs 6-4 on Tuesday night.
With no outs and the bases loaded, Choo jumped on the first pitch he got from Eduardo Sanchez (0-1) and lined it into the gap in right-center. Ryan Ludwick and Devin Mesoraco came around to score.
Sanchez walked the first two batters of the inning and Cesar Izturis reached on an error by third baseman Donnie Murphy to set up Choo's clutch swing.
Hoover (3-5) allowed one hit in 2 1-3 innings, running his scoreless streak to 21 games and 24 2-3 innings. Aroldis Chapman finished for his 29th save in 33 chances, closing out Cincinnati's sixth win in seven games.

Move over, Exxon Valdez. In what's quickly becoming the worst oil spill in the world's history, the massive oil slick off the coast of Louisiana is… well, no longer off the coast of Louisiana.
Despite efforts to contain it (hey, they even lit it on fire – don't try this at home, kids), the oil spill reached land early Friday morning, posed to ruin a variety of fragile ecosystems: marshland, avian habitats, shrimp and oyster breeding groups, mink, otter and already-endangered sea turtles will all be affected, in addition to whales, dolphins and other marine and marsh life. As of last week it was thought that the downed rig wasn't going to leak any oil, and speculation of it's potentially catastrophic environmental effects were merely that. Unfortunately, at this point the oil slick is so huge it can be seen from space – it's about the size of Jamaica, and growing.
Unlike the Exxon Valdez incident wherein the oil spill was from a finite source (the boat), this disaster continues because the oil is coming from an active well. The "Deepwater Horizon" (which might be more accurately re-christened "The Greasewater Horizon"), the collapsed rig still diligently doing its job no matter that it's already exploded and sunk, is still pumping somwhere around 5,000 barrels (210,000 gallons) of crude oil per day into the Gulf of Mexico. BP officials have deployed underwater robots to try to stanch the leaks, but have somewhat reluctantly admitted that it may take months to completely seal off the 2 leaks that continue to pollute the Gulf.
The drill has enraged a variety of folks; the President's reaction, however, is somewhat muddled. Just a few weeks back Obama announced that offshore drilling was going to be permitted off the Atlantic coast, but is now avoiding the specifics of that plan while speaking in macro-level vagaries to note that he will continue to support offshore drilling as part of a larger energy package, but that no drilling will be authorized in the near future. Speaking specifically about this oil spill, the President puts the blame on BP.
Sarah Palin, she of the "Drill Here, Drill Now" catch-phrase that so enamored T-shirt makers and oil-drillin' fans alike, withheld public comment until Friday, at which point she seemed to hold a position similar to the President's. Noting her concern for the downed oil workers and the potential for an ecological nightmare, Palin also made sure to point out that all responsibility for safety procedures lies with the parent company, and further noted that she still supports offshore drilling.
And so we award a Fantasy T-Wearer Award today to both Sarah Palin and Barack Obama, with the "Spill Baby Spill" T-shirt, above.

A Baghdad clergyman estimates that 90 percent of Iraq's Christians, once thought to number over a million, have either fled or have been murdered by Islamic extremists.
From the time of Jesus, there have been Christians in what is now Iraq. The Christian community took root there after the Apostle Thomas headed east.
But now, after nearly 2,000 years, Iraqi Christians are being hunted, murdered and forced to flee -- persecuted on a biblical scale in Iraq's religious civil war. You'd have to be mad to hold a Christian service in Iraq today, but if you must, then the vicar of Baghdad is your man. He's the Reverend Canon Andrew White, an Anglican chaplain who suffers from multiple sclerosis and from a fanatical determination to save the last Iraqi Christians from the purge.
White invited 60 Minutes cameras and correspondent Scott Pelley to an underground Baghdad church service for what's left of his congregation. White's parishioners are risking their lives to celebrate their faith.
"The room is full of children, it's full of women, but I don't see the men. Where are they?" Pelley remarked.
"They are mainly killed. Some are kidnapped. Some are killed. In the last six months things have got particularly bad for the Christians. Here in this church, all of my leadership were originally taken and killed," White explained. "All dead. But we never got their bodies back. This is one of the problems. I regularly do funerals here but it's not easy to get the bodies."
Many Iraqi Christians' churches are destroyed or abandoned. The congregation is smuggled in and out of this secret sanctuary. Even letting 60 Minutes come to the service was a terrible risk. White is among the last Christian ministers here, a savior with crosses to bear. Larger than life, stricken with MS, and by his own reckoning, driven a little bit mad.
He was first sent to Baghdad by the Archbishop of Canterbury nine years ago, well before the Christian persecution.
"You were here during Saddam's reign. And now after. Which was better? Which was worse?" Pelley asked.
"The situation now is clearly worse" than under Saddam, White replied.
"There's no comparison between Iraq now and then," he told Pelley. "Things are the most difficult they have ever been for Christians. Probably ever in history. They've never known it like now."
"Wait a minute, Christians have been here for 2,000 years," Pelley remarked.
"Yes," White said.
"And it's now the worst it has ever been," Pelley replied.
To understand the history of Iraqi Christianity, start with the Last Supper. One saint to the right of Jesus is the Apostle Thomas, who took the gospel and headed east after the death of Christ.
In modern times, under Saddam, Christians were treated much the same as Muslims; Saddam's right hand man, Tariq Aziz, was Christian.
Before the war, it's estimated there were about a million Christians in Iraq. They were a small minority, but free to worship, free to build churches, and free to speak the ancient language of Jesus, Aramaic. But, after the invasion, Muslim militants launched a war on each other and the cross.

10 Social Media Personality Types – Which One Are You? [INFOGRAPHIC]
When you've been active on social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook for a lengthy period of time, you start to develop a personality.
Shea Bennett
Notes that among the ten are:
- The Social Athlete: look for calm and secure relationships. They are meticulous, trustworthy, and keep commitments, and often are looking to maintain traditional living and social establishments.
- The Social Luddite: usually silent and show little interest in technology. They are tentative in social engagements and relationships, but are loyal and guided by strict values.
- The Social Nurturer: friendly, kind, popular, thoughtful, helpful, and consistent. They value tradition and feel some sense of obligation or commitment to their relationships.
- The Social Lazies: silent, introspective, and optimistic. They have clusters of posts and responses for a brief period of time and then disappear for a while. Value driven, intellectually sharp, and often great writers.
- The Social Geek: Self-confident, self-motivated, and active. They are able to set clear plans and goals and meet them. The are value driven, successful, strong leaders, and expect the same from other people.
Concluding the list are some of the most important positive personality types: the social visionary, the social ranter, the social inspirer, the social lurker, and the social doer.
Darin's note: If you will click on the image, it will become legible, big. The other 5 are certainly worth reading about, and you may find yourself fitting into one of those categories.
This is not a scientific study and does not pretend to be one. It is based on qualitative data collected by the Digital Jungle. While I don't tend to include studies without rigor, I felt that this topic could be handled by a novice, who is making acute observations about the way people behave, in some ways similar to personality tests. The categories and explanations are pointed and insightful. I hope you enjoy them.

AIGA Morning Toast
As part of AIGA Middle East's efforts to start open discussions about design in the region, the chapter launched Morning Toast, a bi-monthly breakfast think-tank series that revolves around one topic and its relation to design in the Levant. There are usually only six spots for participants to snatch and a host who moderates a casual and free-flowing conversation.
At every brunch, the topic is kept secret until the morning of in order to keep thoughts unrehearsed, encourage spontaneous interaction, and push for unrestricted dialogue. Morning Toast is in partnership with Urbanista, a local Lebanese coffee shop catering to a very like-minded crowd. 2015 Branding, Graphic Design

DGNT | Dignity Rating Scale
In recent years, the health care industry has become an increasingly controversial topic that has been at times divisive between political parties. The health care system is struggling to accommodate and provide the best standard of care to aging baby boomers as well as patients with chronic diseases reliant on long-term care. Despite humanity's leaps in technological advancements, the level of care in hospitals today fails to match this jump, leaving many dissatisfied and indignant. The hospital experience is often negative, cold and confusing. Feeling "human" and respected is essential to any patient.
Our task was to look deep into the health care system and see where the opportunities lie for bettering the hospital experience.
A series of interviews were conducted with patients and health care professionals alike to get their input on issues and problems that might be facing hospitals today.
Undignified moments rose to the top as the most common grievance patients had at hospitals. The team set out to deconstruct "Dignity" and found that it is really embodied by: Privacy, Control and Independence. When experienced together, people feel the highest level of dignity.
The team explored current trends and realized how valuable rating systems and online customer reviews have become for brands and services.
From there, the idea to rate hospitals based on their "dignity strategy" came to fruition, out of which the DGNT App came to life. 2012 Branding, Entrepreneurship, Graphic Design

FUSE University
In 2011, the FUSE Conference introduced FUSE University, an initiative, in collaboration with the School of Visual Arts that gives a select group of students an opportunity to attend the conference free-of-charge. As members of FUSE University, students are expected to attend speaker events while simultaneously acting as ambassadors, engaging attendees over workshops and through one-on-one interviews.
This initiative called for the creation of a visual identity that would also translate into a refreshed identity for the FUSE Conference itself.
The FUSE Conference was examined carefully and dissected into four tracks: Culture, Packaging, Brand Identity and Design. The "fusion" of these topics was the inspiration for a concept based on the coming together of different disciplines under the umbrella of branding. 2011 Branding

Emelie Forsberg has only been on the world trail running scene since 2012, but in those three years she has packed a lot in and has risen to the top, establishing herself as one of the world's top trail runners.
In this video, the latest instalment from Salomon's Trail Running series, the Swedish runner talks about her running and her passion for the outdoors. Shot in and around her home, it's really some really running beauty with some incredible mountain scenery that just begs to be run over.
Emelie seems to have the chilled Scandinavian attitude down to a tee. Questioning whether she is lazy- odd for someone who manages to train for 2o hours per week! Mind you. As she says, running in a Scandinavian winter can prove to be a bit of a challenge where there are only a few hours of daylight available to run (or cross-country ski) in each day. In fact, it sounds pretty ideal with a morning of skiing and then an afternoon watching the Winter Olympics on TV, drinking hot chocolate.
The summer, it seems, is where Emelie really packs in the training miles. With almost uninterrupted daylight she thinks there's a potential for 80 hours plus of training! Although she prefers not to call it training- more just moving around. At that's probably how she keeps the love of the sport going.
Sticking to the adage of doing what you love. She would rather remember a good day out in the mountains than a podium position. Amen to that.

Company ramps up Lucedale wood pellet plant plans
Gulf Coast Renewable Energy plans to build new plant in Copiah Co.
Gulf Coast Renewable Energy is ramping up plans for a wood pellet plant in Lucedale, and plans to build another plant just as big in Copiah County.
The Mississippi Press reported that the company says it now plans to double the plant's capacity to 320,000 metric tons of pellets a year -- boosting its initial investment from $25 million to $40 million.
The company also said Friday that it will build a Copiah County plant also able to produce 320,000 tons a year.
In early March, Vice President for Engineering Gary Ogle said the George County plant would be designed to produce about 160,000 metric tons of pellets per year but that the company planned to double production within 3 years.

Monday Dec. 29, 2008
HICKORY, N.C. – Junior reserve guard Daniel Dixon hit a 20-foot jumper with one second remaining Monday to give No. 7 Augusta State a 97-95 non-conference victory over Catawba on the first day of The Moretz Sports Classic in Shuford Memorial Gymnasium on the campus of Lenoir-Rhyne.
With the victory, the Jaguars moved to 6-1 on the season and extended their best start since the 1976-77 season. The 14th-ranked Indians, who began the season with eight straight wins, dropped to 8-3 overall.
The win also improved ASU to 13-4 against nationally-ranked opponents under fifth-year head coach Dip Metress. In addition, the win avenged a 92-70 setback to Catawba in the same tourney during the 2006-07 campaign.
The Jaguars, who set a season high for points scored, were paced by senior center Garret Siler's season-high 28 points and 10 rebounds. Junior guard Ben Madgen booked 22 points and six assists, while junior forward Fred Brathwaite notched 15 points and five assists and sophomore guard Caleb Brown tallied 12 points. Junior forward Greg Hire matched Siler for the team lead in rebounds with 10.
Antonio Houston paced Catawba with 22 points, while Cliff Burns registered 19 and Donald Rutherford and Rob Fields chipped in 14 and 12 points, respectively, off the bench.
The Indians shot 58.7 percent from the field, including 64.5 percent in the second half. But the Jags outrebounded Catawba 41-26 and connected on 17-of-21 free throw attempts in the second half and 23-of-31 in the game.

There's a wide selection of new movies waiting for you this weekend, but CBC's film critic Eli Glasner has found two that are worth your time: the raunchy comedy Sex Tape and the sci-fi thriller Snowpiercer.
On the surface, there's nothing on Earth that should unite these two movies.
Sex Tape stars Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel as a married couple who accidentally push the wrong button while trying to spice up their marriage; and Snowpiercer stars Chris Evans (Captain America) and Tilda Swinton as they hurtle through a dystopian future on a super train.
Where these two films collide – and according to Eli Glasner, succeed – is in the way they push the limits until the final frame.
Be sure to watch Eli's review in the video above.

In a broad-ranging 55-minute address, Dellums also said Oakland has been selected as one of three cities that officials from the U.S. Housing and Urban Development Department and the White House will visit, possibly in early March, to evaluate the effect of the 2009 stimulus package.
"Oakland is not on this list by accident," Dellums said. "We're there because people appreciate that we've engaged in a problem-solving, collaborative effort that is relatively unique around the country, and here's our great opportunity to deal with that."
The mayor said the city has received $87.9 million in grants in which Oakland is the lead agency, plus additional money in grants in which the city worked with another government agency or other partner.
"There are other big initiatives out there," Dellums said afterward. "This jobs bill that's working its way through the Congress -- we're going to get our part of that. The transportation (bill) -- we're going to get our part of that."
Dellums' remarks to six of the city's chambers of commerce -- which at times sounded like a stump speech -- left some questioning whether he is laying the groundwork for a re-election bid.
"The mayor has not yet made a decision," said spokesman Paul Rose after the event.
Campaign contributions
The Oakland City Council won't decide whether to increase the amount of money that can be donated and spent in city elections until the city's Public Ethics Commission vets the idea, a council committee decided Thursday.
City Attorney John Russo proposed doubling both the amount individuals can donate to candidates and the amount that can be spent by candidates who agree to the city's voluntary spending caps. The logic behind the proposal was that with Oakland's recent switch to instant-runoff voting, which precludes the need for primary elections, it makes sense to allow candidates to raise and spend more money -- particularly because candidates will want to educate voters on how the new voting system works.
Contribution and spending limits were adjusted this week by the City Clerk's office, and, with the new numbers in place, Russo's proposal would mean individuals would be allowed to donate as much as $1,400 to candidates, up from $700, and that a mayoral candidate who agrees to spending limits would be eligible to spend nearly $760,000.
The council's rules committee on Thursday asked the ethics commission to report back to the committee by March 11. Should the council end up changing the contribution and spending limits, it could have big consequences in the mayor's race, where former state Senate President Pro Tem Don Perata had already spent $72,578 by the end of 2009, with another $28,064 in outstanding debts. Council member Jean Quan (Montclair-Laurel), also a candidate for mayor, by contrast, had spent $7,108 with no outstanding debts. Both candidates agreed to the spending limits.
Ammunition regulation
Council members voted 7-0 Tuesday to tighten up the city's gun and ammunition laws, even though there are no dealers licensed with the city to sell firearms or ammunition in Oakland.
The changes to the law, supporters said, are part of a Bay Area-wide attempt to tighten up cities' and counties' gun ordinances. In Oakland, that will require anyone purchasing ammunition to submit a thumbprint, require people who want to sell ammunition to go through the same city permitting process as firearms dealers, and require people who reasonably should know they have lost a firearm to report it missing to police.
The vote was made over the objections of some gun-rights advocates, including the Redwood City-based Calguns Foundation.
"Where I live, there are guns everywhere," said Kevin Thomason, a member of the Calguns Foundation who lives in East Oakland. "Do I think the law is going to do anything to get rid of them? No. It's not going to do a darn thing."
City officials said while it may not solve all of Oakland's gun problems, they believe the Bay Area-wide effort will pay dividends. The vote was unanimous, with Council member Larry Reid (Elmhurst-East Oakland) absent. Reid co-sponsored the ordinance, which comes up for a final vote Feb. 16, with Quan.
"People always say to me, 'Is there anything we can do to reduce the shootings and the murders?'" Quan said before Tuesday's meeting. "This is not a huge step but is something else we can do."

Thanks again for all of your support. If you're still interested in donating, feel free to purchase other shirts or items from the shop!
This shirt was drawn/created as a fundraiser to help raise money to pay off medical bills incurred by our daughter over the last few weeks. It was a limited run shirt as a thank you to members of our community who helps donate in order to raise money to pay off medical bills.
Please allow 2-3 weeks from the end of the fundraiser for shipping as we need to wait until the end of the fundraiser so that we can have the shirts printed. If you add additional items to your order, those items will ship out with your shirts due to the cost of shipping.

It's March Madness as Ioka Theater buyers face deadline
EXETER — The Exeter Theater Company is about to embark on its own version of "March Madness," as it must decide by the end of the month if it will exercise its option to purchase the Ioka theater building.
Because March is such a crucial month for the nonprofit's fundraising efforts, the group has scheduled a number of fundraising receptions and community information sessions to help rally supporters.
According to project manager Adam Roberts, the Exeter Theater Company has to decide by March 31 if they want to exercise the option to purchase the building, which requires a 10 percent, or $60,000, deposit. Once that deposit is made, the group will have 60 days to purchase the building for $600,000 — the same amount the building's current owner, Alan Lewis, paid for it in a December 2011 foreclosure auction.
"Before we make a decision, we have to be confident that we have the financial backing we need to do this project, Roberts said.
The group raised about $140,000 from its initial membership drive and needs to raise about $460,000 to purchase the building,
At this time, the Exeter Theater Company Board of Directors is not sharing what it has raised, according to Roberts.
Roberts said much of the recent fund-raising has come from small individual donors.
"The outpouring of interest has been very heartening. We all assumed it would be out there and it's gone real well," he said. "It's like a puzzle and we're trying to put all the puzzle pieces together. This month is really when we put this puzzle together."
As part of this month's efforts, the group will be holding house parties with donors that have a "higher capacity" for giving.
Other events include a series of meet and greets, a silent film feature and information sessions.
Roberts said the group wanted a balance of informative and fun events in its stretch-drive effort. For example, the silent film double feature scheduled for March 9 at the Town Hall is a good example of an event that could be held at a revitalized Ioka, according to Roberts.
"It's the kind of thing we hope to do and we wanted to show people what they would be getting with their support," he said. "I think this month is going to be really fun."
The board of directors is meeting on a weekly basis and Roberts said the group would like to make a decision in advance of the deadline date,
"That's the hope but it will depend on how we're doing leading into the date," he said. "We're confident but it will depend a lot on how these events go."
ETC board chairman Tony Callendrello expressed the same optimism.
"We've got the team in place and now we're taking our message on the road," Callendrello said. "Our first important deadline is fast approaching. This makes March the crucial month for talking to as many people as we can, answering their questions, and rallying their financial support."
The nonprofit group originally hoped to lease the building from Lewis, or have the philanthropist gift the building to them, but Lewis wanted the group to raise $3.5 million to support the renovation of the building before entering into any type of legally binding agreement with the group.
As a result, the theater company decided to go the current route and do additional fundraising.

Easter Wings
by George Herbert
Easter Wings Transformation Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Line)
Quote #1
Decaying more and more,
Till he became
Most poor: (3-5)
Life outside of Eden is just one bad thing after another. The accumulated badness transforms Adam from a just-created dude with everything to a poor and miserable man. "Decaying" sounds more like corpses on Halloween than hoppy bunnies on Easter, driving home the negative transformation that Adam is undergoing.
Quote #2
With thee
O let me rise (6-7)
The speaker begs God to let him rise out of Adam's sin and transform himself from a miserable sinner into an adoring Christian. And hold on to your iambs, we've got a parallel transformation in line length. Notice how the shape of the poem mirrors the changing content. When Adam and the speaker become thin, poor, and despairing, the stanza also contracts, from 10-syllable to 2-syllable lines. And when the speaker's on the upswing, feeling great and soaring high, the lines get correspondingly bigger, from 2 back up to 10 syllables.
Quote #3
Thou didst so punish sin,
That I became
Most thin (13-15)
Borrowing "became" from line 4 in the first stanza, Herbert reemphasizes his bad-to-worse transformation. Being born with Adam's inherited sin is bad enough, but once God gets in on the game, punishing him with "sicknesses and shame" (12), Herbert wastes away. Line 15 marks the low point, in both Herbert's life and line length: Herbert is "most thin" and things aren't looking good.

NEW MADRID -- Two of the top four teams in Missouri Class 3A will collide Saturday when Salem travels to New Madrid County Central for a semifinal showdown at 1:30 p.m.
Salem (11-1) brings a solid postseason tradition, having reached the final four the last four seasons.
Running the triple option out of a Wishbone set, the Tigers have gained 4,121 yards and scored 51 touchdowns, beating their opponents by an average score of 33 to 9 this year.
"We're just happy to be where we're at," said Salem coach Bill Schuchardt. "We've over-lived our expectations of what we thought the season would be. Our kids are playing real solid and real hard together."
For NMCC, this level of the playoffs is a first. Still, head coach Steve Rogers feels his team belongs. The Eagles are hoping to replace Salem in the state championship game.
"These guys have worked hard since August to get where they're at right now," he explained. "If we can cut down on mistakes and take care of the football, we're going to be in the ballgame. We haven't been embarrassed all year."
The Eagles' top priority is containing Salem fullback Joe Harris. The 6-foot-1, 229-pound junior has rushed for 1,250 yards, averaging 6.6 yards per carry.
"Their best play is a quick, fullback dive," said Rogers. "Everything revolves around their big fullback. If we can stop him, we definitely will force them to do some things they're not accustomed to doing. When he's diving, it pulls everybody in and their play action works. Their outside option and wide game then works."
Salem's gameplan is no secret.
"We're going to lineup in the Wishbone and we're going run the triple option," said Schuchardt. "That's what we've done for the last 21 years. Our gameplan is to run the football. If we can't do that, we're probably in big trouble."
The Tigers do have to deal with some adversity.
Starting quarterback Tyler Dillon went down with a torn ligament in his right knee in Monday night's win over Duchesne, and will not play.
The 6-foot-3, 165-pound junior has played an important part in the offense all season, rushing for 795 yards with 15 touchdowns and passing for 352 with 6 TDs.
"I would say that is a major blow," said Schuchardt. "You're taking out a kid that has started 12 games at quarterback for us. It's a great challenge for our program, but it is only high school football. We will overcome that."
The Tigers will look to senior backup Chris Case (5-11, 168) to step in and fill the void. Case has carried the ball just once this year and attempted just three passes.
"We have a lot of confidence in him," said Schuchardt. "Our success has been due to a total team effort on offense, defense, and special teams. It's not a one-man show, or just one side of the ball. It's getting everybody involved and coming together."
Halfbacks Matt Wisdom (5-10, 165) and Eli Connell (6-1, 192) also carry the ball on a regular basis. Wisdom has 907 yards on the season, while Connell has gained 703.
Tight end Craig Pryor (6-2, 175) leads the receiving corps with seven catches for 159 yards.
"They're a real good football team," said Rogers. "We will have our work cut out for us to play with them on Saturday."
Defensively, Salem will be one of the best NMCC has seen all year. Linebackers Michael Sankovitch (6-1, 195) and Brian Steelman (5-7, 188) have both put together outstanding seasons. Sankovitch leads the team in tackles with 122, while Steelman checks in with 118.
Nose guard Will Mahurin (6-2, 205) has 97 tackles with six sacks, and defensive tackle Justin Frankenreiter (6-0, 210) has 73 tackles with two sacks.
"They're not just a one-man team by any stretch of the imagination," said Rogers. "They've got a real good defense and excellent special teams. They've been in the (semifinals) four years in a row, and it's no coincidence. They're a well-coached, well-disciplined team."
While the playoff experience would seem to be an advantage, Salem downplays its significance.
"I doesn't matter if you've been in 100 of these games," said Schuchardt. "At 1:30, somebody is going to kickoff and we're going to play. Everybody makes a big deal out of us being in the final four for the last four years, but I don't think being there has anything to do with it. These are high school kids who get excited about playing football. I think both sides are pretty excited about it."
NMCC (11-1) can definitely be excited about the banner season it has had up to this point. Along with winning the school's first quarterfinal game, several records have fallen along the way.
Running back Dereke Tipler beat out former greats Kelvin Anderson and Ricky Smith, setting school records for yards in a career (3,615) and touchdowns in a career (58). He has 30 touchdowns this season.
Quarterback Brian Murph has also put up gaudy stats, passing for 1,034 yards while rushing for 637.
Wide receiver/running back Desmond Sims, lineman Chad Nolen, linebacker Lionel Smith and defensive back George Strickland have also played at an all-state level this season.
"(Murph) has done an excellent job for us," said Rogers. "He throws the ball well, and he runs the offense well. When things break down, he can make things happen with his legs. Desmond is a Division-I athlete, whether we play him at running back or receiver. Dereke is a returning all-state running back, and has carried the majority of the load for us. Then you've got George Strickland, Terrance Smith, and a number of other guys that have stepped up bigtime for us this year."
Against a very good schedule, the Eagles have put up 463 points, while allowing 190.
"I expect to see a very skillful football team that has great athletic ability," said Schuchardt. "They're very well-coached. They're a team that is hungry for a state championship. They've been working on this for about three years with this group of kids. They think it's their turn."
NMCC's only loss of the season came against Sikeston (6-4) back on Oct. 5. The defeat appeared to wake the sleeping giant, as the Eagles rattled off six straight wins.
"Big things were expected this year," said Rogers. "It has been fun so far, and I expect a great effort out of the guys Saturday."
Salem's only loss came the same week against West Plains. The Tigers have won six straight, including an overtime thriller over Versailles in the sectional round.
"We haven't played anybody like (NMCC) all year," said Schuchardt. "I'm sure they've played a lot better people that we have. They're a good football team. We've got a decent team and we're coming to play."

The New York Emmy Awards recognize television and advanced media programs that were produced for telecast in New York state and northern New Jersey, and aired between September 1, 2009 and August 31, 2010.
Devils fans will recognize two of this year's selections. MSG Plus announcer Mike "Doc" Emrick was nominated for best play-by-play. He is a six-time New York-region Emmy winner. Stan Fischler received nominations for best sports reporter and best feature/segment – "Five For Fischler" on Hockey Night Live.
MSG Media, which consists of MSG Network, MSG Plus and MSG Interactive (as well as Fuse, the company's national music network), topped 70 nominations for the second consecutive year with 71 total. In addition to MSG Network's 60 nominations, MSG Plus received seven nominations and MSG Interactive received four.
MSG Media's New York Emmy nominations covered 38 different categories ranging from sports and entertainment programming to editing, directing and promotion. MSG Media was also nominated in the Technical Achievement category for MSG Network's production of the first-ever live 3D hockey telecast, featuring the Rangers versus the Islanders at Madison Square Garden on March 24, 2010.
Award winners will be announced on Sunday, April 3, 2011 at the 54th annual New York Emmy Awards ceremony to be held at The Marriott Marquis in Times Square. A full list of nominations for MSG, MSG Plus and MSG Interactive are included below.

Jobless Benefits an Issue for Reid
The fight over unemployment benefits is becoming a flashpoint in the 2010 congressional elections, and the Senate's majority leader is in the center of the fight.
Sen. Harry Reid (D., Nev.) forced a vote Tuesday that ended weeks of stalemate on the issue, and shut off a filibuster by GOP leaders that was holding up action on legislation renewing long-term unemployment benefits.
In rounding up the 60 votes needed to end the Republican leadership's stalling tactics, Reid received the support of the two GOP senators from Maine. He praised them, saying "the people of Maine should be proud of their senators today."
But Reid, who is up for re-election in Nevada where the unemployment rate stands at 14.2%, also lashed out at other Republicans for resisting the bill.
"It shouldn't take a supermajority to help families afford the bare necessities while unemployment is rising," he said. "It shouldn't take the slimmest of margins to do what is right."
The bill would renew the long-term unemployment benefits that expired on June 2, and extend the program through the end of November. Under the $34 billion bill, unemployed workers in the hardest hit states could qualify for government benefits up to 99 weeks.
The cost of the bill was added to the deficit, a move that drew protests from Senate Republicans and from Reid's GOP opponent, Sharron Angle. Angle campaign spokesman Jerry Stacy said Reid moved the bill "for his own political gain," and complained the measure was written "in an irresponsible manner that tacks $34 billion onto our swelling national debt."
Final Senate action on the bill is expected as soon as Wednesday.

Hi Joni, thanks for your beautiful comment. Yes, I have noticed that my icons are hidden, I think it is because of the design of template. I apologise for the problem you encountered on my blog. If you go the right hand side of the blog, there are four icons that are dark grey going down, but they are slightly hidden, when you move your mouse towards the top right hand side on the dark grey rectangle, and click on followers.
Let me know if you have any more probs.

Creative Writing
Imagine that you are a pharmacist..
in the early 1700s and you're opening up your own pharmacy. What would it look like? What kinds of products would you carry in addition to all the medicines? Get creative with this.
Imagine that you are a pharmacist..
in the 1800s and try to explain to a customer than the Indian Vegetable Pills she has bought from a druggist are not an effective treatment for her cough. Explain what is in the cure-all (a remedy claiming to heal all ills) that is harmful to her and what other remedies you might suggest.
1) By now you've heard about the widespread problem of people not taking their drugs as they should (aka non-adherence). More and more pharmacists are now developing new tools and techniques to encourage people to follow the directions on their prescription bottles about when and how often to take their medications and when to get refills. Can you come up with three creative ways to encourage people to take to their medications as directed? For example: Identify your patient's favorite beverage — it might be easier for your patient to stick with taking his medication three times a day if he gets to wash down it down with Strawberry Kiwi juice.
2) We read about pharmacist Janice Lee's work through Doctors without Borders. Can you list the top three countries you would choose if you worked with her?
Why would you like to work in these countries?
3) The Vaccine Patch is an innovative solution for people who fear of hypodermic needles. What pharmaceutical invention can you come up with? For example: maybe you have an idea to help people to remember to take their medications or a new way to make sure that people pick up their refills. Offer your solution and explain how it works.
Imagine that you are a community pharmacist participating in the DOTS program.
