inContact Agent is the user interface on the operators or agents (hereafter named operators) PC for access to the organization's inContact solution.
inContact is a telecommunications solution which provides routing and queuing for contact centers and switchboards. The service is accessed through Telenor's IN (Intelligent Network) phone numbers , or via forwarding from each employees phone when used as a switchboard service.
Each operator gets an operator-ID and password (PIN-code), which is used to log in with the inContact Agent. Once logged on the operator is ready to receive calls on his/hers telephone.
A list of skills is connected to each operators user profile (provided that the solution is configured with different queues). These skills can for instance relate to alternatives choices the caller does in a speech or interactive menu.
With inContact Agent the operator can receive and transfer calls and access information about the number of calls waiting, the number of calls answered that day, lost calls etc..
Organization is used for the unit that the users are working in and that has implemented the inContact solution.
Operator is used in this document for the persons that handles the calls on behalf of the organization.
Administrator is a separate user interface for managers, supervisors, team leaders, super users etc., which presents information about operators, queues etc. and provide tools to change the configuration of the organization's inContact solution.
inContact Agent or Agent is the name of the graphical user interface (GUI) that the operator has on the PC to control the inContact service.
When the inContact Agent is started, the login window (Illustration 1: Login window) appears:
Illustration 1: Login window
The operator logs on using the organizations customer-ID, the operators username and a password provided by Telenor.
It is possible to ease the login process by letting the agent remembering the password. The customer ID and username is always remembered.
If the inContact Agent cannot contact the inContact server, an error message is shown. Most likely there is problems with the Internet connection.
The main window (Illustration 2: Main window) of the inContact Agent is divided into several areas. From the top, it has a menu which gives access to most functions in the Agent. Below, a status line for the operator, which shows the name of the operator, the phone number on which the operator will receive incoming calls and the current presence status for the operator. Two buttons for easy access to the statuses 'Logged off' and 'Logged on' are available, as well as a quick-statistics area, that shows the number of calls handled today, the average time spent in todays calls, as well as the total of calls waiting in my queues.
The center tabbed area contains a list of operators and queues that are defined for the organization, a history view of past events and a statistics view. Below the center panel the search field can be found. Both the center area and the search field can be used to select which queue, operator or number to forward calls to. Below is a line of call-control buttons to control the current call. The state of the buttons are changed according to the state of the call and if a forward-destination is selected. In the bottom is a status line which shows the connection state to the inContact server.
Illustration 2: Main window
In the File menu the operator can exit the inContact Agent application by choosing the Exit menu item. The application can also be exited by clicking the cross in the upper right corner of the main window or pushing Alt + F4 (standard Windows functionality). If the operator is "logged on" when the application is exited, the Agent will ask if the user wants to change status to "logged off" before finishing.
In the View menu (Illustration 3: View menu), the operator can choose which elements should be visible in the agent, and switch between the tabs in the center. The toolbar is hidden by default, but can be enabled here. The Call Control Panel including the search field can also be hidden. Queue popup in single window toggles if queue status popups that opens when you double click a queue gets individual windows, or snaps into one single window. The sub menu Queue display columns has options for selecting which columns is visible in all the queue displays, both the queue table, and the queue display pop-ups. The tabs (Operators&Queues, History and Statistics) can be selected from the View menu, and also by clicking the tabs in the center of the window directly.

The Status menu (Illustration 4: Status menu) contains presence statuses other than "Logged On" and "Logged Off". These can be selected when the operator is occupied with other activities, and is not ready to receive calls via inContact. Calls will only be delivered to the operator when the "Logged on" status is selected. The different other statuses are used for statistics, and to inform the other operators.
The status menu is also available by clicking directly in the status field.
Illustration 4: Status menu
The call menu (Illustration 5: Call menu) has the same actions as the call-control buttons in the lower part of the agent (Forward/transfer, consult, hold/resume and cancel) as well as a special "Release current call" command.
Release current call command
is used if the operator has transferred a call using the telephone
(i.e. via the local PBX). In this case, inContact is unaware that
the transfer has happened, and by choosing Release current call,
inContact is informed that the user is ready to receive new calls
Illustration 5: Call menu
The tools menu (Illustration 6: Tools menu) has easy access to the agents log file. This can be used when troubleshooting issues with the inContact Agent. The Options menu item opens the dialog for changing language, window and logging settings.
Illustration 6: Tools menu
The log file viewer (Illustration 7: Log file viewer) is a simple tool for viewing log files. It has buttons for opening other (older) files, reloading the current file, a text field for entering text to search for, buttons for searching forwards and backwards for the given text, a toggle button to highlight all occurrences of the the given text, and a button to toggle case-sensitivity.
Illustration 7: Log file viewer
Illustration 8: Options dialog
Restore window on new call – If the inContact agent is minimized, it will be restored to normal size when a new call arrives. This makes it easy to see information about the incoming call.
Minimize window when answering incoming calls – Minimizes the inContact agent when the incoming call reaches the answered state. This leaves room on the desktop for e.g. CRM applications. Often used in conjunction with restore window on new call.
Restore window when call is finished – Restores the inContact agent from minimized to normal size when a call is terminated. Often used in conjunction with minimize window when answering incoming calls, and seldom with restore window on new call.
Window always on top – The inContact agent is always on top of other windows, unless it is minimized.
Hide window when minimized – When the inContact agent is minimized, it is not visible on the task bar, but only in the system tray (Illustration 9: InContact icon in system tray).
Illustration 9: InContact icon in system tray
Language – The currently available language settings are norwegian (bokmål) and english. The new language setting will be used the next time the inContact agent is restarted.
Logging – (Illustration 10: Logging options dialog) The log detail level can be specified for both the inContact agent specific logging and general Java logging (root log). The recommended log level is info or warn. Debug log level can be enabled if problems are encountered. The log files will have a maximum size of 1 MB before a new file is created. The latest 6 files are stored (for each inContact operator).
Illustration 10: Logging options dialog
Copy to clipboard on incoming call – (Illustration 11: Advanced options dialog)If the operator frequently needs to copy information about the incoming call into CRM systems, the Agent can automatically copy the callers phone number, or the "extra info" for the call. The extra info is customer specific, and could be customerIDs.
Select tab on incoming call – The default setting is to show the call tab, but Operators and Queues could also be selected, to be ready to transfer the call.
Clear search field – Tells the Agent when to clear the search field. The default is to clear the search field on incoming call, and after a consult/forward.
Look and Feel – The choices here are depending on what is supported on your Java (tm) installation. On Microsoft Windows (tm), with Java 6, the choices are Windows, Windows classic, Metal, Nimbus and CDE/Motif. The new look will be used the next time the inContact agent is restarted.
Reload from server – This button clears all the local data, all information about operators, queues and all history events, and tries to reload everything from the inContact server.
Illustration 11: Advanced options dialog
The InContact agent can open a web page as the calls are delivered. Different web pages can be specified for different phases of the call, for alerting, answered call or hangup. InContact can insert information from the current call into the URL of the webpage using special codes. The implemented codes are:
%a The callers number.
%b The called number
%e Extra info (e.g. customer number, order number)
%o Operator id (this is not equal to DTMF ID/userdefined operator ID)
%q Queue id (this is not equal to DTMF ID/userdefined queue ID)
To get information about the call quickly, open the chosen web page when the call is alerting.
You can delay the opening of the page until the call is answered, to give the Operator better control of when the page is opened.
The InContact Agent will use the default Internet browser defined in the operating system, and has little control over how the browser will show the page.
Tip: You can configure your brower to reuse the same window for all calls, or open a new window or tab for each call. In case your browser reuses one window to show each call, there is a risk of loosing information that is partially entererd in a web page. If the browser is used only for displaying information about the call, it could be desireable to reuse the same page for each call.
Tip for IE 6: Select Tools->Internet Options->Advanced. Then modify Browsing->"Reuse windows for launcing shortcuts" as desired.
Illustration 12: Options for opening applications in call
The help menu (Illustration 13: Help menu) gives quick access to the online user guide (this document), the online frequently asked questions (with answers) and the about dialog. The about dialog has information about which version of the inContact agent is installed, and the different configuration parameters. If you have Acrobat Reader installed, you can also open the PDF version of the user guide.
Illustration 13: Help menu
The operators status line shows information about the current operator.
Illustration 14: Operator status line
Name - The full name of the operator, as defined in InContact Administrator.
Phone number - The current phone number of the operator (here 436 71 454) is shown (Illustration 15: Operator phone drop-down). If the drop-down list is opened, the list of available numbers for the current operator is displayed. The numbers in this list are managed from the inContact Administrator. A bold number indicates that this number is in use by another operator (but the other operator is not logged on). The number can still be taken by the current operator. A number in italics is disabled, because it it in use by another operator that is logged on. The other operator must be logged off before this number can be selected. Numbers in normal font are not used by anyone, and are available to the operator. Additional information about the number is shown as tooltip text when the mouse is pointing at the number.
If the list is long, typing the first digits of the number quickly takes you to the requested number.
When a new number is selected, a change button is enabled. The number is not changed before the change button is hit. If the change button is not pushed for about 15 seconds, it disappears, and the original active number is restored in the drop-down menu.
Illustration 15: Operator phone drop-down
Operator status - (Illustration 16: Operator status w/ menu) The current presence status (here Logged off) for the operator. Logged on is the only status where incoming calls from queues will be sent to the operator. Query calls and forwarded calls from other operators can always be received regardless of status, except the Outbound calls status. Logged on is shown in green, Logged off in red, and all other statuses in yellow. The color corresponding to the status is also reflected in the application icon in the upper left corner of the inContact agent, as well as the icon in the system tray (on operating systems that support that, like Microsoft Windows (tm) Illustration 17: inContact icon in systray).
The status can be changed by pushing one of the key combinations listed, or from the menu. The menu is available both from the application menu, and by clicking the operator status field directly. The operator status can also be changed from the inContact server or inContact Administrator. Two buttons: log on and log off are provided for easy access to two common statuses.
The status may only be changed to Logged on if the current operator has an assigned phone number. If the phone number is changed to none (not set), the status of the operator is automatically changed to Logged off.
The Operator may change status during a call, to prevent new calls from arriving the moment the call is terminated.
Observe: inContact delivers calls to the operators based on the principle "Longest time available". If an operator chooses a status other than Logged on, that time will also be counted in (as "available" time). Only when a call is finished, the operator will reset the timer, and move to the back of the line for handling new incoming calls.
A history event is generated each time an operator changes the status. These events can be viewed in the history tab. These events will only be seen when the filtering is set to Status Changes or All Events. A summary of the time spent in each status can be viewed in the statistics → time in status tab.
After each finished call, the operator may be automatically put in After Call Work status a few seconds. This is configured from the InContact Administrator by the After Call Work parameter on the operator.
Illustration 16: Operator status w/ menu
Illustration 17: inContact icon in systray
Quick statistics – (Illustration 18: Quick statistics) some selected counters for the number of calls received today are displayed to the right. Answered calls are counted behind the green arrow, and unanswered calls behind the red arrow. The average time spent on each of todays calls, and the total number of calls in my queues is also shown.
Illustration 18: Quick statistics
The Operators & Queues tab (Illustration 19: Operators & Queues tab) shows all the defined operators and queues for the organization. They are organized into folders defined by the inContact administrator. If a collection of queues is selected in the tree menu (on the left side), the right side is split into two. The upper half shows the queues in the collection, and if a single queue is selected, the lower part shows the operators connected to that queue. A queue can be double-clicked to show a separate queue status monitor window for that queue.
My queues will contain all the queues that the Operator is logged on at the moment. If the Operator is granted rights by the inContact Administrator to log on to queues on the fly, all the selectable queues is listed here as well.
If a folder of queues is double clicked in the tree view to the left, a queue status pop-up window of all the contained queues is opened. Double click in the pop-up window to get alternative views.
The tables in the right hand side can be sorted by clicking on the table headers, and columns can be resized by dragging the delimiters between the headers. Which columns that are shown is selected from the View->Queue display columns menu. You can also right click the column header to get the same menu. The selected columns will be shown in all the queue status pop-up windows as well.
If an operator or a queue is selected, it is also copied to the search field, and will be the target for forward- or consult calls.

Operator is granted rights by the inContact Administrator to log on
and off queues on the fly, a checkbox will be shown for each queue
in the queue table. A checkmark indicates that the Operator will
receive calls from the queue. A checkmark without a box around it,
indicates that the Operator doesn't have the right to log off from
the queue. The Operator will of course not receive calls from any
of the queues unless the Operator status is logged on.
Flexible login to queues
Illustration 23: Queue status window for My queues, vertical view
If the Operator is granted rights by the inContact Administrator to log on and off queues on the fly, a checkbox will be shown for each queue in the queue table. A checkmark indicates that the Operator will receive calls from the queue. A checkmark without a box around it, indicates that the Operator doesn't have the right to log off from the queue. The Operator will of course not receive calls from any of the queues unless the Operator status is logged on.
The My History tab (Illustration 24: History tab) shows information about past events, like status changes or calls. The information can be filtered by selecting one of the filter criterias in the drop-down menu.
Rows can be sorted by clicking on one of the column headers. Click twice, and the table is sorted in reversed order.
If a call event is selected, information is copied to the search field, and becomes the target for the next forward or consult call. For an incoming call, the object in the from column is copied, and for an outgoing call, the object in the to column is copied.
A call is regarded as answered if it has a conference time (duration) greater than zero. Outgoing forwarded calls (which have unknown duration) are always regarded as answered.
Events older than 3 months are discarded.
The history events are always synchronized with the inContact server on each logon.
All the timestamps in the history view are from the inContact server, so they may vary from the local time on the operator's PC, if its clock is not correct.
Illustration 24: History tab
The My Statistics tab (Illustration 25: Statistics tab) shows aggregated information from the history view. The aggregation is for the period selected in the drop down menu, and can be one of: today, last 24 hours, yesterday, this week, last 7 days, last week, this month, last 31 days and last month. Since the statistics information is based on the history events, the statistics are also synchronized with the inContact server on every logon.
The Calls tab shows counters from the calls the operator has participated in.
Illustration 25: Statistics tab
The time in status tab (Illustration 26: Statistics - time in status) shows aggregated time spent in each operator presence status for the given period of time.
Illustration 26: Statistics - time in status
When an incoming call is presented to the operator, it is shown in its own call tab (Illustration 27: Call tab) in the center of the inContact agent.
The following information about the call is shown:
Queue – The name of the last queue the call was in. If the name of the queue is followed by Operator icon, it is a "preferred operator" call, where the call will not be offered to any other operators on the same queue.
From – The phone number of the caller (CLI = calling line identification), unless the number is hidden or no number is available (some foreign calls).
Status – The state of the call: ALERTING, ANSWERED, ONHOLD, TERMINATED and so on.
Wait time – The time the caller has waited from the moment he was enqueued till he was connected to the (first) operator.
Conference time – The time the caller has spent talking to the operator(s). If the caller is put on hold, or forwarded to a new queue, this time is also counted as conference time.
Extra info – Customer specific information for the call. Can be entered digits, customer ID and so on.
The border title also tells what type of call it is. In this example, it is a normal incoming call.
If the call has been redirected, the redirecting number and redirecting reason will also be shown.
Illustration 27: Call tab
A search field is provided to find targets for forward and consult operations. If no search text is provided, but the drop-down list is opened directly, the last used targets for outgoing calls are displayed, as illustrated in Illustration 28: Search in outgoing history.
Illustration 28: Search in outgoing history
If a search text is entered, searching is performed as-you-type (Illustration 29: Search example). Both text and numbers can be searched for. The search matches on substring, so it is not necessary to enter the first part of the name or number. Some context information is displayed along the match, like a graphical symbol, timestamp, operator status or phone number, to easier find the correct match. For queues, the number of calls in the queue/number of logged in operators/ongoing calls from the queue is shown. If a valid match is selected and a call is present, the consult and forward buttons become enabled.
Operators, queues, incoming and outgoing calls are searched for matching objects.
If a valid phone number is entered, it is of course also a target for external forward or consult operations, regardless if it has a corresponding search match or not.
Note: a queue can not be consulted, and an operator without an assigned phone number can not be called.
Illustration 29: Search example
The call control buttons changes state depending on the state of the current call, and if a target is selected for forward/consult in the search field (Example in Illustration 30: Consult call with call control buttons).
Forward / Transfer – Forwards the current call to an operator, a queue or an external number. The current operator is immediately disconnected from the call. If the current call is in consult mode, the button becomes a transfer button, and the call can be transferred to the consulted operator or number.
Consult – Puts the incoming call on hold, and performs a consult call to an operator or external number.
Hold / Resume / Switch – Puts the incoming call on hold, or resumes a call put on hold. If in a consult call, switches between the incoming caller and consulted callee.
Cancel – Cancels or hangups an outgoing consult call.
Illustration 30: Consult call with call control buttons
InContact Agent can also be used for switchboards. In that case, it will cooperate with Netwise NOW. NOW will display information from the company directory based on incoming phone numbers, and to search for people to forward calls to. The InContact Agent will be used for showing detailed information about the call, show the status for the queues, and for showing history of previous calls.
When an Operator logs on, the InContact server will indicate if the current Operator should have access to InContact Switchboard. The InContact Agent will then try to start the Netwise NOW program, and initiate communication with it. The InContact Agent program is the same for both Contact Center and Switchboard.
It is recommended that when using InContact Switchboard that the InContact Agent uses the lower 1/3, and Netwise NOW the upper 2/3 of the screen. It is also recommended to hide the toolbar, call control buttons and search field in the InContact Agent. A quick way to accomplish this is by using the Fit layout for use with Netwise button in the View menu.

text: A Message from Dean Songer The current American education system presents a variety of challenges. As a result, Drexel University's School of Education seeks to be a leader in pedagogy and research, and teach educational leaders and innovators to solve complex problems and incite reform in schools, government, organizations, and more. The School of Education is a community of educators, leaders, scholars, students, and researchers. We are committed to transforming and enhancing all stages of education, and preparing the next generation of leaders. Our students leave equipped with the knowledge and skills to enter education, government, corporations, non-profit organizations, and more. In solidarity with the vision of the larger university, I draw your attention to a few snapshots of some of the ways the School of Education actively engages with both our Drexel and local communities: Through our University-Assisted Schools program, School of Education students tutor and work with local elementary school students to help them reach their goals. Some of these schools were recently faced with the threat of closing their doors due to budget cuts in the School District of Philadelphia; they are now thriving. The acclaimed lecture series Critical Conversations in Urban Education, held twice annually, welcomes distinguished speakers from the Philadelphia region and beyond to discuss issues facing education.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia is one of the most common malignant lymphoid diseases in the western world and is frequently diagnosed by internists. There have been clinically significant changes in method of diagnosis, prognostic tools, supportive care, and treatment over the past 2 decades. Most patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia now have Rai stage 0 or I disease at diagnosis. Patients with early-stage disease are a heterogeneous group: Approximately 30% to 50% will have accelerated disease progression, and the remainder may live for decades and possibly never require therapy. Recent insights into the biological characteristics of leukemic B cells have led to the discovery of new prognostic tools (immunoglobulin variable-region heavy chain gene mutation status, cytogenetic abnormalities assessed by fluorescent in situ hybridization, and Z-chain–associated protein kinase-70 protein expression) that can identify patients with early-stage disease who are at high risk for early disease progression. These tools allow physicians to individualize counseling, follow-up, and management on the basis of disease risk. In addition, new treatments developed over the past 2 decades (purine nucleoside analogues, monoclonal antibodies, and combination chemoimmunotherapy regimens) have dramatically improved response rates and appear to prolong survival. In this review, the authors discuss the current work-up of lymphocytosis and highlight how to use recently identified prognostic tools to stratify risk in patients with newly diagnosed, early-stage chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Recommendations for patient counseling, follow-up, supportive care, and initial treatment are presented for each risk category.

Grand Jury Report Attached *Graphic*
A filthy abortion mill where prosecutors say babies were delivered alive and killed with scissors would have been shut down long ago if not for extraordinary failures by state regulators, who had not inspected it since 1993, a grand jury report charges.
Dr. Kermit Gosnell, 69, a family practice physician with no certification in gynecology or obstetrics, was charged Wednesday with eight counts of murder in the deaths of seven babies and one patient. Nine employees also were charged, including four with murder.
In its report, the grand jury said failures of the Pennsylvania Department of Health and other agencies allowed Gosnell's "house of horrors" to persist for decades, with baby body parts on the shelves and clogging the plumbing, a 15-year-old high school student performing intravenous anesthesia, and Gosnell's wife, a cosmetologist, performing late-term procedures.
"Had state and local officials performed their duties properly, Gosnell's clinic would have been shut down decades ago," the grand jury wrote. "If inspectors had looked solely for violations of Pennsylvania's abortion regulations, there would have been ample grounds to revoke the approval of Gosnell's clinic as an abortion provider — as was demonstrated when DOH inspectors finally entered the facility in February 2010."
Complaints about Gosnell to state regulators went nowhere, even though 46 lawsuits had been filed against him. State officials, who arrived to testify with lawyers in tow, "enraged" the grand jury, Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams said. Williams said he was "disgusted" by the lack of oversight but could find no criminal charges with which to charge them, in part because of the time that had elapsed.
State officials, including at the Health Department, have not commented despite repeated requests.
Williams accused state officials of neglecting the safety of abortion seekers not by accident, but "by design."
"State officials knew that Gosnell and his clinic were offering unacceptable medical care to women and girls, yet DOH failed to take any action to stop the atrocities documented by this Grand Jury," the report said.
Lawyer William J. Brennan, who represented Gosnell during the investigation, noted that the doctor served patients in a low-income city neighborhood for decades.
"Obviously, these allegations are very, very serious," Brennan said.
The state health department first gave the "Women's Medical Society" a one-year license when it opened in 1979, when a certified obstetrician/gynecologist and nurses were listed as employees. The state approval expired in 1980, but the next site review did not come until 1989.
By then, Gosnell was the only doctor on site, and the clinic had no nurses and no outside lab work being done. Promises were made to improve the failings, and the state renewed its approval. In 1992, a visit showed there were still no nurses or ob-gyn, and nothing suggests the state inspectors checked any patient files. The inspectors left blank the sections on who was providing anesthesia and post-operative care. They they concluded there were "no deficiencies."
The final inspection came in April 1993, four years after Gosnell had promised to hire nurses. There were none. The state cited Gosnell for expired medications and missing lab work but said they had been remedied — though there was no follow-up inspection — three months later.
The state's reluctance to investigate, under several administrations, may stem partly from the sensitivity of the abortion debate, Williams said. Nonetheless, he called Gosnell's case a clear case of murder.
"Pennsylvania is not a third-world country. There were several oversight agencies that stumbled upon and should have shut down Kermit Gosnell long ago."
But none of them did, even after the death of a 41-year-old mother of three in 2009, city prosecutors charged.
Williams accused state health officials of "utter disregard" for Gosnell's patients, who were mostly poor minority women such as Karnamaya Mongar, who died at the clinic after being given to much Demerol and other drugs in November 2009, prosecutors said.
Early last year, authorities raided Gosnell's clinic in search of controlled drug violations, but instead stumbled upon a stench-filled clinic with bags and bottles of aborted fetuses scattered throughout the building.
Gosnell also kept jars of severed feet on his shelves, Williams said. Gosnell also had a taste for macabre jokes, once muttering that a nearly six-pound baby born alive to a 17-year-old who was 7 1/2 months pregnant could "walk me to the bus stop," the report said.
Under Pennsylvania law, abortions are illegal after 24 weeks of pregnancy, or just under six months, and most doctors won't perform them after 20 weeks because of the risks, prosecutors said.
In a typical late-term abortion, the fetus is dismembered in the uterus and then removed in pieces. That is more common than the procedure opponents call "partial-birth abortion,"
in which the fetus is partially extracted before being destroyed.
Gosnell typically worked weeknights, arriving hours after his unskilled staff administered anesthesia and drugs to induce labor. He then "forced the live birth of viable babies in the sixth, seventh, eighth month of pregnancy and then killed those babies by cutting into the back of the neck with scissors and severing their spinal cord," Williams said.
In addition to the Mongar and another woman who died, scores more were injured from perforated bowels, cervixes and uteruses, authorities said.
Women came from across the city, state and mid-Atlantic region for the illegal late-term procedures, authorities said. He didn't advertise, but word got around. They paid $325 for first-trimester abortions and $1,600 to $3,000 for abortions up to 30 weeks. The clinic took in up to $15,000 a day, authorities said.
White women from the suburbs were ushered into a separate, slightly cleaner area because Gosnell believed they were more likely to file complaints, Williams said.
Few if any of the unconscious patients knew their babies had been born alive and then killed, prosecutors said. Many were first-time mothers who were told they were 24 weeks pregnant, even if they were much further along, authorities said.
The grand jury spent a year investigating Gosnell's practice. According to the report, Gosnell had no nurses on hand to monitor the women's medication or recovery, no hospital on standby for emergencies and few if any medical records because Gosnell destroyed them. His staff testified about "scores of gruesome killings" of infants born alive.
"These killings became so routine that no one could put an exact number on them," the grand jury report said.
Authorities charged that Gosnell deliberately hired unqualified staff so he could pay them low wages. He sent his six children to private schools — one is now a doctor and another a professor — and has a beach house at the New Jersey shore, prosecutors said.
Besides the five charged with murder, five other clinic employees, including Gosnell's wife, were charged with conspiracy, drug and other crimes. Pearl Gosnell, the doctor's third wife, performed extremely late-term abortions on Sundays when the clinic was otherwise closed, the report said. All 10 charged were in custody.
Williams, a Democrat, released the report a day after Republican Gov. Tom Corbett succeeded Gov. Ed Rendell, a Democrat. Spokesman Kevin Harley pledged Corbett's administration would do more to oversee such clinics.
Gosnell earned his medical degree from Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia and is board certified in family practice. He started, but did not finish, a residency in obstetrics-gynecology, authorities said.

You missed out on the grand jury link somehow.
This is the link
No matter your position on the abortion debate this will horrify you.
I'm also amazed at the Grand Jury System. How this document was created I do not know, but it was very well presented and edited. A tribute to the jury and their support.

I love when the government fucks up.
All the excuses start flying.
I would love to see a descendant of the deaths, sue the living monkey shit out of the State for not doing their job in over seeing a doctors/abortion clinic for so long.
Makes you wonder when the guy was taking in 15 grand a day, was there any payoffs to inspectors that we havent heard of?
This is simply a failure of the system. Nothing more.

EXETER — Former Democratic Senate Majority Leader Maggie Hassan of Exeter is expected to announce her run for governor tomorrow during an appearance in Manchester.
Representatives for Hassan announced on Monday that the former District 23 state senator will visit Manchester Community College to "speak about next year's campaign for governor of New Hampshire."
Her appearance is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Representatives for Hassan declined to confirm that Hassan would be making a formal announcement. Hassan served in the N.H. Senate representing District 23 from 2004 to 2010 and has been exploring a run for governor.
Gov. John Lynch's decision not to seek a fifth term opened the door for Hassan. She has previously said she wouldn't run if Lynch ran again.
After Lynch made his announcement, Hassan said she would continue to talk with people throughout the state about a potential run for governor.
Hassan was defeated last November in a bid for a fourth Senate term by Russell Prescott, R-Kingston.
During an interview with Seacoast Media Group this year, Hassan said she was still following state politics closely and had some involvement with No Labels, a national movement founded last year that focuses on promoting civil discourse among all political parties.
To date, Republican Ovide Lamontagne is the only person to officially announce candidacy for the office.

Once again Watson is Master of his domain
Watson adds second green jacket to collection
Published: Sunday, April 13, 2014 at 10:24 p.m.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — In the immediate aftermath of winning his second Masters on Sunday, the tears freely flowed from Bubba Watson much as they had the first time he won at Augusta National two years ago.
Local look at Masters
Greenville resident and Riverside graduate Bill Haas finished with a solid 2-under 70 Sunday at the Masters to finish 2 over in a tie for 20th for a second-consecutive year. Haas led by one after an opening-round 68, but then shot 78 and 74 the next two rounds to fall from serious contention.
Greenville native and Clemson product Lucas Glover carded a final-round 75 to finish at 7 over in a tie for 42nd. Glover, playing the last of a five-year exemption for winning the 2009 U.S. Open, did post an Augusta career-best 69 in Round 2.
Photo Galleries
There was a lot less drama this time around, but just as much emotion from the 35-year-old, who hugged his wife and then scooped up his young son in his left arm while high-fiving patrons with his right hand as he swept away from the 18th green.
The University of Georgia product fired a final-round 69 to finish 8 under in cruising down the stretch to a three-shot victory over playing partner Jordan Spieth and Jonas Blixt. Watson and Spieth had begun the round tied at the top at 5 under.
It was in far contrast from his first green jacket win when he hit one of the all-time great shots with a miraculous save out of the woods for victory on the second hole of sudden death.
When asked if he was going to cry after every Masters victory, Watson recalled breaking down in tears the day he initially received his PGA Tour card.
"It's a dream to win and wining any tournament is a big deal," Watson said. "Winning the green jacket is a little bit bigger deal. So, yeah, I'm going to cry, because why me? Why Bubba Watson from little Bagdad, Fla.? Why is he winning? So I just always ask the question why, why me. That's why I'm always going to cry. I'll probably cry again (later) just thinking about it."
It's not too difficult to decipher why Watson became the 17th player in history to win multiple Masters. He's longer, craftier, gutsier and more mentally tough than the majority of his competitors and with arguably the most-cherished title in golf on the line, that's a combination that's tough to overcome.
While his first title came on a once-in-a-lifetime type of shot, there was very little of the gambling "Bubba Golf" the past four rounds upon which he had initially earned his reputation. This was Bubba Golf 2.0, a more relaxed and mature version with a continuant mantra of fairways and greens capped by deft speed control around the world's slickest greens.
Watson has always taken great pride in never having had a lesson or a swing coach, just a regular guy from a small town who was able to recognize his natural ability and nurture it in his own special way.
"It's overwhelming, you know, to win twice, be with the great names, a small-town guy named Bubba now has two green jackets," Watson said. "It's pretty wild. I do what it takes to make the score. I don't care how pretty it is, I don't care if it's ugly. I don't care if it's out of the woods. I just want to make a score and lucky for me, I've done it a couple times around this place."
The charismatic 20-year-old Spieth had somewhat overshadowed Watson in his quest to become the youngest Masters champion and the first in 35 years to win in his debut. Meanwhile, two shots back to begin the day, was another fan favorite in 50-year-old Spaniard Miguel Angel Jimenez, who recorded the tournament's low-round with a 66 on Saturday, and was seeking to become the oldest to win any of golf's four major championships.
Watson bogeyed the third to fall two behind Spieth, who was briefly tied with Matt Kuchar for the lead at 6 under, before Kuchar's double bogey at the par-3 fourth dropped him from the top for good.
Watson would seize control of the round on Nos. 8 and 9 with a pair of birdies to Spieth's two bogeys, turning a two-shot deficit into a two-shot lead for the eventual champ as they headed for the back nine.
"Ultimately, Bubba played some incredible golf," Spieth said. "There wasn't going to be a whole lot I could do, unless I played a flawless round, even after being a few under. So he deserved it. Eight under on this golf course was a number that I thought would be difficult to achieve after the first couple of days and he found a way to do it."
Spieth pulled back within one after Watson bogeyed the 10th, but Spieth made a huge miscue on the par-3 12th as his tee shot bounced on the front bank and rolled into Rae's Creek. To his credit, he got up-and-down to save par and remain down only two.
The capper came on the next hole, however, in old-school Watson fashion, with a shot only a few could execute, even as Watson would later admit he didn't mean to try it. He smacked his drive on the par-5 way left and it somehow found its way through the trees (even clipping a few branches) before landing on the fairway with only a wedge left into the green. Watson birded while Spieth parred and it was game over.
"That drive, I'll never forget," Spieth said. "I thought that it was out of bounds 70 yards left and it's perfect."
Watson admitted "that's not the line I really wanted to go on. I knew it, when it took off, it was cutting a little too much. I knew I hit it really hard. Obviously, when you get a roar on your tee shot, you know it's pretty good. I could start breathing again once I heard them clapping and roaring."
That would be the last gasp for the field when the ball landed safely and the last glimpse of possible trouble for Watson down the stretch was averted. There was nothing left from there but some joyous tears at the end.

Monobenzone is not a mild cosmetic bleach. Because it causes a permanent discoloration of the skin, it may not be the right treatment for these other skin conditions.

Jim Morrison
Jim Morrison (December 8, 1943 – July 3, 1971) was a singer, songwriter and poet.
Born James Douglas Morrison in Melbourne, Florida, he was the lead singer and lyricist of the popular American rock band The Doors. He was also an author of several poetry books.
Morrison was the son of Admiral George Stephen Morrison and his wife Clara Clark Morrison, both employed by the United States Navy. He would grow to express drastically different views than those taught to him by his strict, conservative parents.</p>
According to Morrison, one of the most important events of his life came about in 1947 during a family trip in New Mexico. He described the event as follows:
- "The first time I discovered death... me and my mother and father, and my grandmother and grandfather, were driving through the desert at dawn. A truckload of Indians had either hit another car or something- there were Indians scattered all over the highway, bleeding to death. I was just a kid, so I had to stay in the car while my father and grandfather went to check it out. I didn't see nothing- all I saw was funny red paint and people lying around, but I knew something was happening, because I could dig the vibrations of the people around me, and all of a sudden I realized that they didn't know what was happening any more than I did. That was the first time I tasted fear... and I do think, at that moment, the souls of those dead Indians- maybe one or two of them-were just running around, freaking out, and just landed in my soul, and I was like a sponge, ready to sit there and absorb it."
Even before The Doors formed, Morrison lived by the motto (borrowed from philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche) "The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom": He indulged in hallucinogenic drugs, drank alcohol in legendary proportions, and indulged in various bacchanalia, sometimes showing up for recording sessions while inebriated (he can be heard hiccuping on the song "Five To One.")
Morrison's performances have influenced many, including Patti Smith. Live shows often possessed shamanistic qualities. To this day, he is widely regarded as the prototypical rock star: surly, sexy and mysterious. The leather pants he was fond of wearing onstage have since become stereotyped rock star apparel.
In 1970 he underwent a neopagan wedding ceremony with writer Patricia Kennealy, but the relationship did not endure.
In the years after the Doors' meteoric rise to fame with their self-titled debut album and its hit single "Light My Fire", however, Morrison's "live fast, die young and leave a beautiful corpse" lifestyle was catching up with him; he was now a full-fledged alcoholic, and the band was beginning to suffer for it. Morrison's drink and drugs-fueled antics caused rifts with his bandmates and even got them into legal trouble, most notably at a 1969 concert in Miami in which a blind drunk Morrison exposed himself to the audience and simulated fellatio on Krieger as he played.
Morrison moved to Paris in March 1971 with the intention of concentrating on his writing.
Jim Morrison died in Paris on July 3, 1971, in his bathtub at the age of 27; many fans and biographers have speculated that the cause of death was a drug overdose, or possibly an assassination by American government authorities. Morrison remarked several times near his death that he was "number 3". Referring to himself as likely to be the third person to die mysteriously after Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin. The official report listed "heart attack" as the cause of death. Morrison is buried in the famous Le Père Lachaise Cemetery in eastern Paris: because his fans there are generally perceived as nuisances, leaving litter and graffiti behind them, it has been suggested that a new burial site will have to be found.
Some fans believe that Morrison faked his death in order to escape the spotlight. Conspiracy theorists point out that Morrison's longtime girlfriend, Pamela Courson, initially told the press that Morrison was merely "very tired and resting in a hospital", that very few people had actually seen the corpse prior to its burial, and that Morrison, in the months prior to his 'death', had often talked jokingly with his bandmates about "splitting to Africa". Doors drummer, John Densmore, upon visiting Morrison's grave for the first time, is said to have remarked that it was too short. There have even been recent stories surfacing of Jim Morrison being alive and well, and living the life of a cowboy in the Pacific Northwest; filmmaker and auctioneer Gerald Pitts claims to have discovered Morrison living on a ranch in 1998. One can go to this site Jim Morrison A Living Legendand judge for oneself. To further fuel the mystery, in 2002 Manzarek published "The Poet in Exile." This novel relocates a thinly veiled Morrison, Gauguin-like, to the Seychelles islands in a spiritual journey of discovery and understanding.
Stories of his resurrection started almost immediately after his death when the Bank of America allegedly had dealings with a Jim Morrison. In 1975, "The Bank Of America of Louisiana" was published by Zeppelin Publishing Co (supposedly owned by William Casselbury – a Jim Morrison nom-de-plume). The opening words are:
- "This is the Story of The reappearance on earth of a dead Hollywood rock star as super hippy, disguised as a mild-mannered Louisiana banker. This book is based on fact, however, there is no warranty that this book is entirely as published herein totally factual, as certain things had to be changed such as names, because if I did not, I would find myself back into the courts. This is a novel novel, that is a phrase in which two words pronounced the same, is used first as an adjective and secondly as a noun. For purposes of judicial review this is a fiction."
- Jim Morrison
The website Doors claims the author is WE Casselburry – or that Morrison is Casselberry (there is a Casselberry mentioned but authorship of the book is Morrison).
"I see myself as a huge fiery comet, a shooting star. Everyone stops, points up and gasps "Oh look at that!" Then – whoosh, and I'm gone... and they'll never see anything like it ever again, and they won't be able to forget me – ever." – Jim MorrisonCourson died in Hollywood on April 25, 1974.
The Morrison legend was revived in 1991 with Oliver Stone's biopic The Doors, starring Val Kilmer as Morrison.

Nation's former top accountant eyes US debt warily
The economy is slowly growing; the government's yearly budget deficit is falling. But the nation's former top accountant doesn't buy the idea that everything is OK.
David Walker, who for a decade ran the Government Accountability Office, the watchdog group charged with overseeing how the government spends taxpayer money, is as adamant as ever that Washington is out of touch and out of control with the nation's finances.
In September he'll present a major report for the nonprofit he founded, the Comeback America Initiative, whose purpose is to raise awareness about the federal government's swelling debt. It's a chasm that isn't top of mind for most Americans, he knows. But Walker, 61, wants it to be.
The government estimates the national debt at about $17 trillion, but Walker argues it's closer to $73 trillion, once all of the unfunded promises for future Social Security benefits and other obligations are added in. And he envisions a bleak future if the U.S. doesn't stem the financial sinkhole: painful inflation, larger gaps between the rich and the poor, even threats to national security.
He rattles off proposed solutions. Among them: To cut down on health-care costs, make hospitals provide more information about pricing. To salvage Social Security, index the retirement age to increases in life expectancy. To bring in more tax revenue, cut down on the exemptions and deductions that disproportionately benefit the wealthy.
CAI will wind down after September's report on the state of the nation's finances, partly because Walker promised his wife he'd take it easy, partly because he's not sure the Washington establishment -- Republicans and Democrats alike -- is ready to listen.

April 23, 2009 | Author: Mini | In: Anime Blogs, K-ON
H-I-R-A- Damn, gotta start again.
The education system is unduly harsh on Yui. The poor girl can barely walk and chew gum at the same time, and now she has to deal with midterms. Give her a break, you academic assassins of joy.
High-scorers, the lot of 'em
Episode 3 only contains one plot-line: Yui's struggle to pass an exam. With her focus constantly wavering, she gets a little help from her musical friends – mainly Mio this time around. A couple of the side characters also get more of a look-in.
Ah yes, castanets. Those were simpler times…
Nodoka: I have to wonder how Yui managed to make it through life without the help of her sharper friend. Having known Yui for so long, Nodoka even has a chance to dish up some embarassing memories to share with the rest of the band.
Welcome to Casa de Hirasawa, please enjoy your stay!
Ui: Yui's younger sister is a sweet girl with a mature attitude. She's also more "together" than Yui, prompting Ritsu wonder out loud whether Ui was the one who inherited the good genes. Ui's even diplomatic enough not to trash-talk her sister. Has all the signs of a future homemaker.
Definitely deserves the victory sign
Of course, this being a feel-good anime, Yui triumphs after coping with multiple distractions (the goofy smile she has when practising guitar always cracks me up) and an all-day cram session. In the process, she even discovers the mysterious X and Y guitar chords.
Editorial: This review was late because I kept getting hit with flu symptoms. orz
That Mini guy is so useless! Hahaha!
Yeah, thanks for the support, gang. I'll just have to take comfort by imagining that Ritsu's looking contemplative because she's thinking about me.
That Mini guy, he's such a blogosphere dreamboat. *sigh*

STANFORD -- One obvious thing was missing Saturday morning when the Stanford football team held its first public practice of training camp.
Nobody wore No. 12.
And it's not just because Andrew Luck, the two-time Heisman Trophy runner-up, has moved on to the NFL's Indianapolis Colts.
"It's tucked away for a little bit," Stanford coach David Shaw said.
Still, somebody is going to be replacing No. 12 under center. But Shaw offered no clarity about who is leading the competition to become Luck's successor: sophomore Brett Nottingham or junior Josh Nunes.
"We don't have any strings right now," said Shaw, referring to the depth chart. "We're just rolling guys through drills."
In fact, the Stanford coach added the name of Kevin Hogan -- a redshirt freshman from McLean, Va. -- to the mix as another quarterback who has impressed.
"Kevin Hogan is doing a great job of making it a three-man race," Shaw said. "I wouldn't say that he's quite there yet. But he's not too far behind. He's making it more cloudy, which is good."
Cloudy is an apt description of the quarterback battle. Closed practices have only added to the level of secrecy about a competition that, from the outside, seems neck-and-neck.
Nottingham, the former Monte Vista High standout, was Luck's backup last season. Although he played in six games, Nottingham threw only eight passes, completing five for 78 yards and one touchdown.
Nunes was Luck's primary backup in 2010, although he got the chance to attempt only two passes. Then last season Nunes was sidelined early with a turf toe injury, which opened the door for Nottingham to take over the No. 2 job.
Both quarterbacks said that while Luck may be gone, his presence lingers. Each one is using the experience of being Luck's understudy as a resource in the effort to become his replacement.
"I was behind Andrew for three years, which was one of the biggest blessings you could ever have as a quarterback," said Nunes, who is from the Southern California city of Upland. "Watching how he handled the game from a mental standpoint as well as a physical standpoint was huge. So now I can think about what he did whenever I go into a drill."
While they are fighting for the same job, there seems to be genuine respect between the two.
"We all understand at this school that we want to be competitive and not combative," Nottingham said. "We know not to take anything personally. The coaches make sure that this is a good environment for healthy competition."
Added Nunes: "It's like what (former Stanford coach Jim) Harbaugh would tell us: Iron sharpens iron. That's the attitude both of us have taken."
Whoever is named the starter, that quarterback will not have the same freedom Luck did when it comes to calling plays or changing them at the line of scrimmage.
"We can't shrink the offense," Shaw said. "Now what we allowed Andrew to do, we're not going to put that on the next starter. But that guy is still going to have to execute the full playbook."
A decision won't be made until later this week at the earliest, Shaw said, adding that there's no reason to rush with the opener against San Jose State not until Aug. 31.
"I want it to go as long as prudent because that we way we'll get to see as much data as possible," he said. "We don't want to make a quick decision. I want to get a long look at all the work those guys put it this spring and summer, and see them give everything they have in this camp."
The one thing Shaw did make clear, though, is that there will be no splitting time.
"When it comes to rotating quarterbacks, we don't do that here," he said.

YORBA LINDA, Calif. - Cobra Engineering is putting a completely new face on the 2-into-1 slip-on muffler system for Harley-Davidson baggers with the new Center-Pro.
The Center-Pro is unique in that it joins the right and the left muffler bodies to a center port that rides beneath the rear fender. The oval tip, formed from heavy-gauge steel, features a smooth, rolled edge finish.
The U-shaped, one piece,slip-on clamps to the stock head pipes as well as to Cobra's Powr-Port dual headpipes (and most other aftermarket headpipes), the company said. At the rear the muffler brackets bolt to the stock exhaust mounts beneath the bags just like any other slip-on system. Because of the shape and mounting system, the dual louvered silencing cores cannot be removed as they are welded in place. Left and right heat shields provide a seamless finish.
The Center-Pro "breaks new styling ground in this market," said Tim McCool, Cobra's president. He adds that the system also helps with performance and has an "unbelievable" sound.
The Center-Pro muffler is made in the United States and comes with a limited lifetime warranty that covers discoloration. It features laser cut mounting brackets and stainless steel clamps. The system will be available to dealerships in February.
