Fighter Squadron 18
Fighter Squadron 18 is one of three Swiss Air Force squadrons equipped with the interceptor fighter Boeing F/A-18 Hornet and thus an important pillar of Switzerland's air defence.
In times of peace, Fighter Squadron 18 fulfils its missions with Air Force Wing 11, operating from Payerne Air Base. From a tactical perspective, however, Fighter Squadron 18 is part of Air Force Wing 14, which belongs to the Air Base Command 14, stationed in Sion.

One of the coolest things about my recent family vacation to Jamaica is that if someone had approached me before and asked, "Jeff, what's it like to be stung by a Portuguese Man-of-War?", I wouldn't have been able to help.
That's not the case anymore. After a thrilling encounter with one of these beautiful but dangerous creatures, I can now confirm what many marine biologists have long suspected: The sea is psychotic, and it wants to kill us.
Often mistaken for a jellyfish, the Portuguese Man-of-War is a colony of four distinct polyps that enter into a symbiotic relationship with the purpose of inflicting as much misery as possible — much like a reunion tour of the super-group Asia. They have puffy blue or violet sails that are harmless except that each is towing strands of submerged tentacles that are up to 50 yards long and filled with venom nearly as toxic as a cobra's.
You won't find Physalia physalis around here, but if you're bound for warmer climes, beware. Central New York's so-called dangerous natural phenomenon — zebra mussels, poison ivy, the Camillus Youth Basketball League — are a stroll through the Wegmans dessert section by comparison.
Here's what happened:
A week-and-a-half ago I was snorkeling in a murky lagoon about 50 yards off the beach in water slightly over my head. Suddenly, bobbing just beyond reach, there appeared a purplish oval of such loveliness and vibrancy that I mistook it for a wind-blown tropical bloom. I studied it more closely, transfixed by the ever-morphing shape as it swayed in the waves. No, I concluded, the color was too Disney, too fake, for the object to be anything in nature. It must a girl's surf shoe or an inflatable arm floaty like the one my niece Claire was wearing back on the beach. And then I just knew it was a girl's hairbrush. I reached for it with my left hand.
Dumb. Dumb. Dumb.
I've never touched a high-voltage power line — maybe next week — but the sensation cannot be much different from the starburst of pain unleashed by the Man-of-War. To call it a "sting" would be like calling Destiny USA a few weeks behind schedule. I screamed and struggled toward land. My extended family stood there thinking I was goofing around. Look! Funny Uncle Jeff's got a hand puppet made of still-firing toxic nematocysts!
Intense chest pain followed, so it was off to the emergency room, emergency being a relative term in Jamaica. There was no doctor at first. When he did arrive, in sandals and sweatpants, he had the drowsy demeanor of a man roused from a Rasta den.
"You got some pain, Mon?" he asked.
It took $1,000 (payable immediately) and a cocktail of intravenous drugs and injections, but Marcus Welby of Montego Bay saved me. Those of you who are unhappy with that outcome should file a complaint with MoBay Hope Medical Centre.
Meanwhile, I refuse to be intimidated by some dumb polyps. I'm already planning my next snorkeling adventure.

Brown's Mill Battlefield fired up for grand opening
History came alive July 27 and more than 350 people came to take in the sights at the grand opening of the Brown's Mill Battlefield Civil War Historic Site located south of Newnan at 155 Millard Farmer Road.
Among the large number of people present for the dedication and grand opening were Coweta County Commissioner Tim Lassetter who presided at the event, Brown's Mill Battlefield Association representative Carolyn Turner, state archeologist David Crass and historian David Evans. Crass and Evans provided a wealth of information on the historic site and the battle.
The grand opening also included a large number of re-enactors assuming the role of Union and Confederate cavalry. Many of those attending the event got a close-up look at the calvary, their mounts and weapons after the dedication ceremony had concluded.
It was on July 30, 1864 that the Battle of Brown's Mill was fought. According to the Brown's Mill Battlefield Association, the Civil War battle occurred during the Atlanta Campaign. Gen. Edward McCook's Union cavalry, on a daring raid to sever communications and supply lines in south central Georgia, was defeated at the battlefield site by Confederate forces under the command of Gen. Joseph "Fightin' Joe" Wheeler.
After a successful raid in Fayetteville, McCook was trying to return to the main army in Atlanta but was attacked by Wheeler's cavalry four miles south of Newnan at Brown's Mill. McCook wanted to surrender but instead let his officers lead their battalions out separately.
Though Wheeler lost 50 men in the ensuing battle, McCook's forces were routed. McCook had 1,285 men captured, 100 killed or wounded and lost 1,200 horses, several ambulances and two pieces of artillery. With the victory, Wheeler freed approximately 300 Confederate prisoners.
The ramifications of the battle extended far beyond the rolling hills of the battlefield.
The defeat of Union forces in Coweta County forced Gen. William T. Sherman to abandon his efforts to use cavalry to cut Atlanta's railroads and compelled him to begin the lengthy siege of Atlanta, according to the association.
The battlefield site is dedicated to the Confederate and Union cavalrymen who fought and died on July 30, 1864, and to the Confederate and Union medical staff who tended the wounded after the Battle of Brown's Mill, according to the Brown's Mill Battlefield Association.
A July 9 proclamation by the Coweta County Commission denoting July as Coweta County History Month stated that the Battle of Brown's Mill was significant in the history of the Civil War because it changed the way Gen. William T. Sherman fought the Atlanta Campaign.

Gymnasts Dianne Durham and Mary Lou Retton Are on Beam for Gold at Los Angeles
Durham, the bewitching one, and Retton, of the blue-and-pink hair, are both training with Bela Karolyi, the Rumanian coach who introduced Nadia Comaneci to the world seven years ago. Bela defected to the U.S. in 1981, and now runs Karolyi's World Gymnastics, Inc. in Houston. The academy has 300 students, but there is no question about who are Karolyi's most prized pupils. "The Little One [Retton] is simply great," says Karolyi, in his Transylvanian accent, while "Dianne has speed, natural body strength, dedication and self-confidence." Durham is the top-ranked gymnast in the country, and Retton is tied for No. 3 (with Pam Bileck). These three, along with Julianne McNamara (No. 2), Kathy Johnson and Tracee Talavera, represent America's best hopes for a medal.
Durham and Retton provide a striking contrast to Comaneci. Where Nadia was sinewy but slight, the Americans are strong-limbed, with muscular thighs and broad shoulders. The contrast is emotional as well. "These kids aren't as calculating as Nadia," says Karolyi. "They are more like gamblers, throwing themselves totally into a competition."
The 4'9", 92-pound Retton is a dynamo in competition (which includes floor exercises as well as the uneven bars, balance beam and vaulting horse). In her best routine, Mary Lou handsprings over the horse, then, uncorked, twists twice in the air before landing. Taller but equally lithe at 5'1" and 105 pounds, Durham practically detonates during floor exercises, her best event. Springing into the air, she completes two backward somersaults, her legs straight, while twirling in midair.
Understandably, a certain rivalry has developed between the teenagers. As Olympic women's coach Don Peters observes, "They spur each other on." The gymnasts agree that their toe-to-toe, day-to-day, seven-day-a-week training regimen has strengthened them. "We are good friends," says Retton, "but there is a feeling that if she can do it, I can do it. If she does well, then I have to do well too."
Spring will bring two crucial tests. In May they will compete in the U.S. championships, and the Olympic Trials will be held the following month. A squad of seven will be chosen to face, among others, the Russians in Los Angeles. The Soviets are counting on the likes of Olga Bicherova, 17, or Natalia Yurchenko, 18.
Retton vaulted into prominence last March when she took top honors at the McDonald's American Cup competition. Retton, who began gymnastics at 7, was lucky to be competing at all; as an alternate she was subbing on one day's notice for an injured Durham. Mary Lou comes from Fairmont, W.Va., but she is boarding with a Houston family while training with Karolyi. She attends school via correspondence course and admits to occasional bouts of homesickness for West Virginia, where her father owns a coal-mining equipment company. "I get a little weepy sometimes," she confesses, "but I want to reach my peak. There will be time for other things later."
Durham too was homesick, so her mother moved to Houston temporarily. The $20,000 annual cost of keeping Dianne in leotards and studying with a tutor has strained the family budget, her mother says. Dianne, who began gymnastics at 4 when her father, the director of industrial relations at a steel mill in Gary, Ind., spotted a course ad, had a self-described case of burnout at 12, quitting for 18 months.
Now committed once again, Durham is concentrating on Los Angeles. Although she would be the first black ever to win a medal in gymnastics, Durham says, "I never even give the black part a thought. But," she adds, "winning the Gold...Oh, wow."

Hi, thank you so much for the pictures and the history. Do you have any information on Mahula J Thompson's (39114624) daughters, Mary Vinnie and Flossie May? I'm finding information that Flossie married a Martin and died in Mobile, AL, but can't find any census of her after 1910. She must have married young, like her mother. Have no clue what became of Mary. I appreciate so much the help you have given to my family history.

They are Numberphile and Deep Sky Videos.
These are in addition to various ongoing projects (Periodic Videos, Sixty Symbols, et al).
An impossible amount of work for one person.
But help is at hand.
He has edited many of my Foodskey films and, more importantly, is editing many of the Deep Sky Videos (launching next week).
Stephen's an excellent editor with plenty of impressive projects under his belt - perhaps the best-known being his labour of love Destination Titan which was screened on the BBC.
He also works on various projects across the country, ranging from space to sport.
Why introduce him on the blog today?

County Recycling Convenience Center opens Saturday
Erie County government's Recycling Convenience Center is back.
The center, at 1624 Filmore Ave. in Millcreek Township, opens Saturday for the first of 10 collection dates in 2014, giving county residents an environmentally safe way to dispose of electronics and household hazardous waste.
Now in its fifth year, the recycling center will operate from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on selected Saturdays through Dec. 13, according to county Planning Director Jake Welsh's office.
The center charges participants 10 cents per pound for electronic waste, and 35 cents per pound for household hazardous waste.
That is a change in how the program charges residents.
The center, which accepts unwanted televisions, computer equipment, paints, household cleaners and other items, originally operated at no cost to residents.
But in 2010, the center began charging county residents $20 to dispose of up to 125 pounds of items at the center, with an additional 50 cents per pound after that.
The cost was later changed to $20 for the first 100 pounds of items dropped off, with an additional 75 cents per pound after that.
Welsh said the change was made because county officials believe it will save residents money.
"We changed the price structure for the participants this year so it is more economical for them to come in," Welsh said. "The new prices should help to drive increased participation. We're already getting plenty of calls for the first event."
The center, in 2013, collected 97,802 pounds of items during 14 collection dates and was visited by 677 people, county statistics show.
Due to the recycling center's popularity, participants are required to register for a collection date in advance at (866) 815-0016.
A grant from the state Department of Environmental Protection helps to fund the program.
For a list of event dates and materials accepted, visit www.eriecountyrecycling.com and click "Recycling Center."

no you wont. OS use is a matter of choice. Bill Gates may differ, as
he makes it *very* difficult to buy a new laptop without his stuff all
over it. However, if you feel so inclined, you could re-partition the
laptop and dual boot with a flavour of linux.. seeing how you posted
here, why not some debian?
and while you are in there, create a data partition, (could be /home
and point the XP user folder to it; there may be user issues however
...) either as dos32 or ext2. so you can access data easily from
either OS
ive not found any issues using MS Office files from a recent Open
Office release. YMMV

Need advice on angles/ bindings
Not sure if I should post this in the binding section so I figured this would be a pretty good place, here's my issue. I get on the lift with left foot strapped in, but I go down the hill right foot forward, I have my left foot set at -3 and my right at+17 is this weird? Basically I'm going down the hill with my tail forward. What could I change?
23 Attachment(s)
I'm the same way, I get off the lift regular, but ride goofy. I'm set at 15/-8
Don't worry about as I find its a great way to practice your weakness and get better at switch.
And if your board is directional, get of the lift on your tail, but ride down normal.
i might not understand but doesnt sound like you need to change anything. basically you just prefer to ride the lift switch
.unless you're on a directional board setup for a regular rider. you ride goofy so make sure your board is setup that way
I'm actually not trolling I'm fine getting off the lift, I was just wondering if it was weird & if anybody else is the same, I was also looking for binding angles to tryout ! Thanks for the replies anyways :)
My board is setup normal, but I ride switch down the mountain basically,
In reality, you should be able to ride and get off the lift both ways. Ride down the mountain both ways, and be as good riding normal as you are goofy.

Product Info
BitTorrent Manager is completely FREE and convenient tool for downloading and distributing very large files.

It has a simple user interface and very easy to use - downloads can be started by clicking on hyperlinks to .torrent files. It uses bandwidth optimization and control system and allows downloading multiple torrents at the same time with the possibility to set download priority.

Facebook, Google Face Censorship in India
Feb 6, 2012|
Tech sector powerhouses, including Google and Facebook, are up in arms as Indian officials demand the sites remove "offensive" content.
Several Internet giants cried foul Monday as the world's third-largest democracy demanded the companies censor their content.
Indian officials requested a group of 21 Internet companies, including Facebook and Google, to remove content they deemed "offensive" and warned of a China-style crackdown if the companies didn't comply.
The increased pressure from Indian courts comes as two suits were filed against some of the companies, citing that some of their content is offensive to users' religious sensibilities.
Facebook and Google India have complied thus far, removing content from some of their sites with Indian domains.
In addition to removing the content, the companies were asked to build a mechanism to automatically block any further offensive material.
While the large majority of India's Internet remains uncensored for its estimated 100 million users, the demands raise concerns among the tech community. The companies argued last month that it was impossible to screen all of its content to root out obscene material.
Oddly, this brings to mind another recent censorship case that was quashed after a single day of web protests (SOPA, anyone?). However, I don't foresee waves of darkened websites to protest a similar instance of censorship.

Abreu Keeps Rolling At Stockton
by NSSN Staff
STOCKTON, Calif. — Rico Abreu may just be the hottest race car driver in the land.
Six days after winning his first World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series feature at Thunderbowl Raceway, Abreu won Friday night's 360 sprint car feature at the Stockton Dirt Track.
Abreu took the victory ahead of Trey Starks with Bud Kaeding, Sean Becker and Jonathan Allard rounding out the top five.
Abreu has also won a pair of ASCS Lucas Oil Sprint Car Series races and the Silver Cup at Silver Dollar Speedway during the month of March.
Friday's race was a preliminary to Saturday's World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series race at the track.

A century ago, Claude Bernard 1 pointed out that the cells of most higher organisms do not really come into direct contact with the external environment but exist in their own internal sea—the extracellular fluid. Subsequently2 he deduced from a relatively few facts that it was the stability of this milieu intérieur which constituted the "primary condition for freedom and independence of existence."
In recent years much attention has been given to the role of the kidney in regulating the volume and osmolality of the body fluids. Nevertheless, it must not be overlooked that the kidney can subserve this office only by excreting excesses—it cannot furnish water or solutes to replace deficits. Hence, an adequate intake of water is of primary importance for body fluid homeostasis in man, since inevitable losses occur continually, both through renal and extrarenal channels.
Under usual circumstances water deficiency manifests itself promptly by thirst,

Week two of the partial government shutdown began Monday and neither side is budging. This week the stakes get higher as the Oct. 17 deadline to increase the nation's borrowing quickly approaches. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, says a default is likely if President Barack Obama won't agree to negotiate.
"The American people expect in Washington, when we have a crisis like this, that the leaders will sit down and have a conversation," the Ohio lawmaker said. "I told my members the other day, there may be a back room somewhere, but there's nobody in it."
"We're interested in having a conversation about how we open the government and how we begin to pay our bills," Boehner added. But the president says there will be no talks as long as Republicans continue attacking Obamacare.
"I mean, essentially what's happened here is Democrats are saying they are prepared to pass a Republican budget for two months while negotiations continue," the president said Saturday.
"We just can't have a whole bunch of other extraneous stuff in it and the obsession with the Affordable Care Act, with 'Obamacare', has to stop," he insisted. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew backed the president's message over the weekend, calling on Congress to "do their job and stop playing with fire."
"It's very dangerous. It's reckless because the reality is, there are no good choices if we run out of borrowing capacity and we run out of cash," Lew told CNN's "State of the Union."What would happen if the government defaulted? The Wall Street Journal's Stephen Moore addressed that question and more below:
Last week, the Treasury Department issued a report warning that a default could freeze credit markets, drastically decrease the value of the dollar and skyrocket U.S. interest rates.
"I think it's extremely bad for the president shutting down the government, and he's the one shutting it down because frankly, he's unwilling to compromise. We're willing to negotiate, we're willing to compromise." Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said.
As the government shutdown drags on, there was one more sign Americans are fed up with the politics. A group of veterans forced their way into the Iwo Jima Memorial over the weekend. They knocked over water-filled barricades so their buses could get through.
Meanwhile, the House took at least one step to relieve the financial uncertainty of furloughed federal employees. On Saturday, they approved back pay for those workers. The president and Senate appear willing to sanction the measure.

Breaking News
Stretch of US road notorious for crashes
- From: AAP
- January 01, 2013
THE stretch of a rural US highway where a Canadian tour bus crashed through a guardrail and plummeted down a steep embankment is so notorious that state transportation officials have published a specific advisory warning of its dangers.
Nine people were killed and more than two dozen injured when the charter bus veered out of control around on Sunday morning on snow- and ice-covered lanes of Interstate 84 in eastern Oregon, according to the Oregon State Police.
The bus crashed near the start of a 11km section of road that winds down a hill. It came to rest at the bottom of a snowy slope, landing beaten and battered but upright with little or no debris visible around the crash site.
Some of the passengers were exchange students from South Korea. Others were from Canada and from Washington state, hospital officials said.
One survivor, 25-year-old Yoo Byung Woo, told The Oregonian that he and other passengers thought the bus driver wasn't driving as slowly as he should have been for the conditions.
"I felt like he was going too fast," Yoo said. "I worried about the bus."
Yoo said it had been snowing and foggy as the bus travelled west. One of the passengers, who was frightened, asked if they could take another route, Yoo told the newspaper. Some passengers were dozing when the driver slammed on the brakes.
Rocks smashed through windows after the bus crashed through a guardrail and rolled down a slope, Yoo said.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said the 1998-model bus rolled at least once.
More than a dozen rescue workers descended the hill and used ropes to help retrieve people from the wreckage in freezing weather. The bus driver was among the survivors, but was injured and had not yet spoken to police.
Lieutenant Gregg Hastings said the bus crashed along the west end of the Blue Mountains, and west of an area called Deadman Pass.
The bus had been carrying 46 people. St Anthony Hospital in Pendleton treated 26 of them, said hospital spokesman Larry Blanc. Five of those treated at St Anthony were transported to other facilities.
Blanc did not elaborate on the nature of the injuries but told the Oregonian that the hospital brought in additional staff to handle the rush of patients and did a lot of X-ray imaging.
Umatilla County Emergency Manager Jack Remillard said the bus was owned by Mi Joo Tour & Travel in Vancouver, BC. A bus safety website run by the US Department of Transportation said Mi Joo has six buses, none of which have been involved in any accidents in the past two years.
The NTSB said on Monday it would look into the conditions on the highway and the guardrail the tour bus crashed through. It also will examine the operations of the bus carrier.

High school math courses and college attendance in two generations
October 16, 2012
Students who graduated from high school in the late 1990s and early 2000s took more rigorous mathematics courses than those who graduated in the mid to late 1970s and early 1980s. Among the more recent graduates (who were born in the years 1980–1984), 11 percent completed high school calculus and 24 percent completed precalculus, trigonometry, or other advanced math. Among the earlier graduates (who were born in the years 1957–1964), just 2 percent completed high school calculus and 8 percent completed precalculus, trigonometry, or other advanced math.
A more rigorous high school math curriculum is associated with a higher probability of attending college. This positive association grew stronger between the 1970s and 2000s. College attendance increased markedly during this period. (College attendance is defined here as having been enrolled in college by age 21.) The college enrollment rate increased from 53 percent among those born in 1957–1964 to 67 percent among those born in 1980–1984.
Among the college students born in 1957–1964, more than 70 percent had completed one of the middle-level high school math curricula of algebra, geometry, or algebra 2. Fewer than 1 in 5 had completed an advanced high school math curriculum of calculus, precalculus, trigonometry, or other advanced math. Among the college students born in 1980–1984, nearly half took advanced high school math classes.
These data are from the National Longitudinal Surveys program. To learn more, see "A comparison of college attendance and high school coursework from two cohorts of youth" (HTML) (PDF), by Alison Aughinbaugh in Beyond the Numbers, volume 1, number 14, October 2012.

SHHH. DON'T TELL MICK JAGGER, but rock and roll is no guaranteed fountain of youth. Just look at Arthur Brown. With his sparse locks and salt-and-pepper beard, Brown is no longer the wild-eyed dervish who declared himself the "god of hellfire" on his 1968 No. 2 gold single, "Fire."
He has changed his tune as well. During his 1993 tour of his native England, Brown, 52, hung up the metal helmet he used to ignite at the end of shows. And his life now involves soothing the savage beast rather than rousing it.
With licensed counselor Jim Maxwell, Brown has started Healing Songs Therapy, a kind of one-stop counseling program in Austin, Texas, that deals with everything from substance abuse to depression—through music. After sitting in on a 50-minute session with Maxwell and a patient, Brown writes a song based on the discussion, then presents a tape to the client. "He hears things that I might miss," says Maxwell. "Things come out in the songs that surprise everybody." Adds Brown: "Once I picked up on what someone had never said to an absent father. As I sang, it allowed him to experience something he'd never allowed himself to even think."
That particular tune hit close to home. Last summer Brown reunited with his long-lost son, Julian, whom he and his first wife, Jeannette, put up for adoption shortly after his birth in 1964. "We were both very young and didn't feel capable of undertaking parenthood," Brown says. "There was a lot of guilt and regret. A certain numbness, too." But after Julian, now 30, tracked his father down through the adoption agency and relatives in London, he was stunned to learn that he was Arthur Brown, rock musician. Brown, in turn, remembers feeling "like I was being forgiven by the universe."
Now that his life is "connected in a way that had been shut off," Brown feels more qualified to help heal others. He and Maxwell are up to ten $100 sessions a month and expect the business to catch on. That's good news after some frustrating years. The youngest son of Peter Brown, a London airline navigator, and his wife, Monica, a laboratory food analyst, Brown began taking music seriously in 1965, the year he graduated from England's Reading University with a bachelor's degree in philosophy. But his first success would prove hard to top. He had a string of sequels to "Fire" that sold modestly only in Europe and a small role in the 1975 film Tommy. With Brown's prospects dimming, he moved his family—second wife Salima, now 44, a legal assistant Brown married in 1976, and their son Ali, 17—from London in 1980 to Austin, which had become the site of a vibrant music scene. There he struggled during the '80s, supplementing his income from local gigs with house painting. "I had a lot of anger, like, 'There must be something else I can do,' he recalls.
Salima suggested he pursue a graduate degree in counseling, and he enrolled at Southwest Texas State University in San Marcos in 1990 to do just that. At a 1992 pregraduation party Brown performed a song he had composed that included references to everyone present. A professor was so impressed by the ditty he urged Brown to put his musical talent to higher use. "So I decided I was going to rededicate my life to music," says Brown. Shortly afterward he and fellow SWT graduate Maxwell became partners. In addition, Brown now conducts popular music-therapy seminars in the Austin area, teaching students how to ease tension through music and movement. He supplements his income with donations and a private investor "who has kindly been keeping me afloat."
Through it all, Brown has never stopped rocking. He began another tour of Europe in May and plans to release his still-untitled 17th album later this year on Justice Records. And though he'll never be Dad to his oldest son—"It's like having a friend but obviously with an extra something," says Julian—the future couldn't be brighter. "I'm only just starting to do some real stuff," says Brown. "My life is beginning to flower."

By T. Boone Pickens
and Patrick Meehan
Although slightly lower than the national average, Pennsylvania's unemployment rate remains stubbornly above 8 percent, and U.S. growth has slowed to a crawl. There are many reasons the economic recovery has been so slow, including the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, European nations' debt problems, and even the floods in the Mississippi basin.
We can't do much about earthquakes and floods, and America certainly can't change the retirement age in Greece or Spain. But it can affect another significant influence on global economic growth, and that's the amount of oil we have to import as our principal transportation fuel, especially from OPEC nations.

Business Intelligence Module Provides Previously Inaccessible Insight Into Anesthesia Operations
BOSTON, MA–(Marketwire – October 18, 2010) – Shareable Ink, the leading provider of enterprise?grade digital pen and paper applications for healthcare, today announced the general availability of its newest solution, Shareable Ink Analytics™ for Anesthesia. The business intelligence module is a valuable extension of Shareable Ink Anesthesia Record™ that automatically extracts clinical, quality, and efficiency?related data from paper anesthesia records. Real?time access to information helps improve outcomes and operations.
Shareable Ink Analytics enables hospitals and groups to analyze 100 percent of charts without labor?intensive manual chart reviews and data extraction. The new solution incorporates dashboards and drill?down reports for a variety of clinical and administrative metrics, including Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP) measures, anesthesia turnover times, and on?time case starts. Managers can easily pinpoint areas of improvement and compare performance across facilities and providers by viewing increasingly granular data: from the health system level to individual outliers and cases of interest.
"More than 90 percent of anesthesia recordkeeping is paper?based. As a result, operational data has been traditionally difficult, if not impossible, to aggregate and understand," said Stephen S. Hau, President and CEO of Shareable Ink. "The Shareable Ink approach enables anesthesia providers to continue their familiar documentation method, while providing all the analytical benefits of electronic data output."
"With 360 providers in 28 different hospitals and ASCs, Shareable Ink Analytics gives us the ability to instantly review, report, and manage real-time performance," said Brian Woods, MD, Chief Medical Officer of NorthStar Anesthesia. "From patient clinical outcome measures to OR throughput efficiency assessments, we can now know exactly how we are doing at the enterprise, facility, and individual provider level."
Shareable Ink Analytics will be featured at the American Society of Anesthesiologists' Annual Meeting — ANESTHESIOLOGY 2010 — in San Diego from October 16 through October 20. To learn more, please stop by the Shareable Ink booth (#3930).
About Shareable Ink
Shareable Ink helps healthcare organizations of all sizes transition to electronic health records without disruption to workflow or burdensome IT projects. Its software platform incorporates enterprise?grade digital pen and paper technology featuring Anoto functionality. Shareable Ink enables clinicians to continue documenting in the fastest, most natural manner, while populating the EHR with discrete data, as if typed with a keyboard. Built?in analytics give hospitals and practices insight into their operations — from a clinical, quality and efficiency standpoint — all previously inaccessible from traditional paper records.

�Welcome to Sweden,� the new comedy on NBC, is about New York City accountant, Bruce Evans (Greg Poehler), who gives up everything and moves to Stockholm to be with his girlfriend Emma Wiik (Josephine Bornebusch). It�s a fish out of water comedy and the jokes will feel familiar to anyone who has lived as an expatriate. What�s different however, is that much of the show is shot on location and the Swedish actors often speak their native language. In other words, you have to read a few subtitles. It�s a risk that might prove to be a deal breaker for many viewers. But, if you�re willing to do some reading with your watching, �Welcome to Sweden� is a funny look at what happens when someone takes a leap of faith for love.
The central idea (based on real events from Poehler�s life) focuses on what happens when: �I would do anything to be with this person� turns from a passionate declaration to a challenging reality. Bruce doesn�t speak the language, has no friends and no job. He meets Emma�s family for the first time when his plane lands. Emma, who asks Bruce to move with her because she got a prestigious banking job, feels the pressure of changing someone�s life. Will he be able to adapt? Or end up resenting her? These questions feel authentic and ground the show�s humor.
Emma�s parents Viveka (Lena Olin), a therapist and Birger (Claes Mansson), a retired sea captain, who Emma wishes weren�t �so Swedish� are Bruce�s first introduction to his adopted homeland. Viveka wonders why Bruce is so average both in height and otherwise while Birger�s limited English skills keep him a mystery. Olin tosses off Viveka�s sarcasm with a charming slyness. In one scene, she casually tells Emma to move the plates they are putting away after dinner to a low shelf in the cabinet so Bruce can reach them. Rounding out the Swedes are Emma�s brother Gustav (Christopher Wagelin), a 28 year-old slacker who still lives at home and her uncle Bengt (Per Svensson), whose knowledge and love of American culture comes from watching Hollywood films. Their lines, as you might expect from their character descriptions, tread familiar territory.
The humor in �Welcome to Sweden,� like Viveka�s line about the dishes, lands softly. This isn�t a show that goes for big belly laughs. Many of the jokes are based on feeling awkward because that�s often what happens when people from different cultures come together. So far, the show has avoided going for too many cheap laughs from clich� differences. (There�s only one scene in a sauna). It also does a good job of making you care about Bruce so that you laugh along with his experiences.
The show has taken advantage of Poehler�s comedic connections, his real life sister Amy (�Parks and Recreation�) is executive producer and guest stars as herself. But when Will Ferrell, Aubrey Plaza (Amy�s co-star on �Parks�) and Gene Simmons appear as themselves, it starts to feel indulgent. The show needs more time to find its groove but it�s solid enough to stand on its own without the added star power.
�Welcome to Sweden� is on Thursdays at 9 p.m. EDT on NBC.

If you can name every receiver on the Seahawks roster at the moment then my hat is off to you. There are currently 12 WRs on the 80-man roster, and each one has their work cut out for them. Only half of them will move to the 53-man roster in September.
Even the best receivers will have to compete for the top spots.
The roster is loaded with potential and plenty of capable sets of hands. The wide receiver spot will surely come down to the very last minute of training camp in September.
So let's talk about the guys who have the best shot at making this team.

Partners for Prevention launches new study on men's use of violence against women
Bangkok, Thailand: Today, UNDP, UNFPA, UN Women and UNV came together, through the regional joint programme Partners for Prevention, to launch the report 'Why do some men use violence and how can we prevent it? Quantitative findings from the UN Multi-country Study on Men and Violence.' The study of over 10,000 men in Asia and the Pacific found that overall nearly half of those men interviewed reported using physical and/or sexual violence against a female partner, ranging from 26 percent to 80 percent across the sites studied. Nearly a quarter of men interviewed reported perpetrating rape against a woman or girl, ranging from 10 percent to 62 percent across the sites.
From 2010 to 2013, over 10,000 men were interviewed across nine sites in Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Papua New Guinea. The findings are representative of the study sites but not representative of the entire Asia-Pacific region.
This report is the key output of the Partners for Prevention project, the Asia-Pacific regional joint programme for gender-based violence prevention in which UNV is a partner with UNFPA, UNDP and UN Women.
Find out more about today's launch here: www.partners4prevention.org

In Brief: Portable bath for baby
Bath time can be tricky if you're traveling with baby.
Now, Norwegian baby gear company Stokke has come up with an ingenious solution: a small, flexible bathtub, Flexi Bath, that can be popped up in a few minutes so your baby can be bathed anywhere. An additional piece can be inserted to provide support for a newborn (no baby should ever be unattended in any amount of water), but the tub is big enough for children up to age 4.
The tub can be folded for storage and would be useful for pet baths, too. It will be available in May, in blue, orange, clear and white for $39.99 at www.stokke.com.
Few things seem as magical to kids as dipping an egg in a color bath and seeing what happens. Here are some hues to try, using food coloring from McCormick.
- Radiant orchid: 7 drops blue, 3 drops neon purple
- Hemlock: 3 drops blue, 12 drops green, 6 drops yellow
- Freesia: 1 drop red, 45 drops yellow
- Cayenne: 14 drops red, 1 drop blue, 1 drop yellow
- Dazzling blue: 20 drops neon blue, 1 drop neon purple
- Violet tulip: 2 drops red, 20 drops blue
- Celosia orange: 2 drops red, 17 drops yellow
- Placid blue: 4 drops blue
