Doctors need a clean record in hand hygiene
Published 14/11/2012 | 17:00
IRISH doctors are not unique in having a poor record when it comes to washing their hands between hospital patients.
Several hygiene audits in other countries have found that they are the worst offenders among hospital staff. The latest figures from the Health Service Executive (HSE) show that more than three in 10 doctors were not taking precautions, despite knowing they are putting patients at risk of a potentially life-threatening infection like MRSA.
The HSE does not ask why doctors are breaching this cardinal infection control rule. But doctors have traditionally insisted they are busy people with many patients to examine and treat.
Their mind is so focused on their healing role they forget to use the wash-hand basin or alcohol hand rub.
The basins and hand rub may also not be conveniently available in several hospitals.
What is even more worrying is that this audit involved an observational study. One presumes the doctors were aware the researcher was nearby with their clipboard.
It begs the question: what happens when they are not being monitored?
Nurses are the most diligent for handwashing. But the overall compliance rate for all staff is still just 81.6pc.
Clearly there is still a cultural problem in our hospitals with following this basic precaution.
Allowing for the pressures on health staff, the findings signal that a stricter approach must be taken by hospitals, up to and including disciplinary action for putting patients' lives at risk.

Yellowstone Gateway Museum
Another "hidden treasure" in Livingston is the Yellowstone Gateway Museum. It is located in the old Northside School which was built in 1906 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. As you might guess from the name it has a number of displays and artifacts relating to Yellowstone National Park including some old pre-1900 chromolithographs by W.H. Jackson. The displays are not even close to being limited to Yellowstone, however. There are also displays and information on: The precise route taken by CPT William Clark when he passed this area on 15 July 1806 along with biographies of him and his 12 companions; information on famous (and not so famous) people from the Wild West like Calamity Jane; a 3.5 billion year geological history of the area complete with fossils, minerals, and the history of local mining; pioneers in the area and their way of life; the North Pacific Railroad; and military in the area. Hours are: 10 AM to 5 PM daily from 17 May to 8 September; and 10 AM to 5 PM Tuesday through Saturday 9 September to 26 September. You can call for an off-season appointment. Admission is $6 for adults, $5 for seniors 65 and over, and $2.50 for children ages 6 to 12. Children under 6 are free. AAA and group discounts are offered. Admission is good for 2 days.

Livingston Depot Center
The Livingston Depot Center was built in 1902 using the Italianate style of architecture. It was designed by the same guys that designed Grand Central Station in New York. It was originally used as the North Pacific Railroad's northern access to Yellowstone National Park. It continued to serve as a passenger depot until 1979. After a 2 year, $800,000 restoration it reopened as a museum. Today it is open from Memorial Day to Labor Day, providing historic exhibits about the area and its history and cultural programs for the benefit of Park County residents and visitors from around the world. In the winter months, the Depot serves as a community cultural center, hosting such diverse events as concerts, banquets, holiday programs, and wedding receptions. Hours are 9 AM to 5 PM Monday through Saturday and 1PM to 5 PM on Sunday from June through September.

Roasted Caramelized Balsamic Onions
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 45 mins
Warning: The aroma while cooking these is intoxicating! Serve as a side with a hearty casserole, stew, or veggie omelet! Spanish inspired!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 large Spanish onions (or a few more smaller ones You may use vidalia or the common yellow too.)
- 59.14 ml unsalted butter
- 78.07 ml balsamic vinegar
- 1.23 ml dried thyme
- 1.23 ml salt
- ground black pepper
- Preheat the oven to 450*F.
- Cut the onions into halves at the equators.
- Remove the skin and any tough outer layers.
- Do not cut off the root and stem ends and be careful not to score the layers you don't remove: uncut, the outer layer will better hold the onion together as it roasts.
- Place the onion halves cut side down in a 9-inch square baking pan.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan and stir in the vinegar, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Pour over the onions.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, and then turn the onions over and baste them with the pan juices.
- Bake for another 20 to 25 minutes, until easily pierced with a paring knife and the inner rings have begun to swell and rise up.
- Serve immediately or at room temperature.
- Enjoy!

My rating may go up on these in another half hour. My DD and I both thought they should be much softer that they came out so I turned down the oven and put them back in to cook some more. The flavor is nice. I used Walla Walla onions. Reviewed for ZWT 3
Onion side dishes are one of our new favorite things since we discovered how yummy they could be this summer while grilling out. This recipe takes the cake! It is so easy and the onions are so flavorful. I also used my microwave to melt the butter mixture but other than that followed the recipe to a T. This has been in my cookbook to try for so long, and I'm glad I finally did it! When the weather warms up, I'm going to try these wrapped in foil on the grill too. The flavor is amazing and the aroma is intoxicating. I love it!
WOW! I am not an onion fan at all but PaulaG's picture made me try it! I only had small white onions so I used those. Not only was the aroma wonderful but the look and taste made it gourmet! Awesome pic and awesome onions!

The city of Birmingham will provide half the money needed to prevent cuts for ClasTran, Mayor William Bell said this morning.
ClasTran is a non profit agency providing transportation to the elderly and physically challenged. The group is short $243,000 and its executive director has said major route cuts would result without the money.
Bell said this morning that he has met with members of the Jefferson County Commission, who are currently writing a new budget, and will also consider funding for ClasTran.
Bell said he would return to the council in a few weeks with the funding request. His statement today is a reversal from two previous positions that the city could no longer bail out non profits that were cut or left out by other municipalities.
Bell last week rejected a council resolution asking him to fund ClasTran.
And as late as Monday evening Bell chastised ClasTran officials for not seeking all available funding and grants. Bell told a council committee Monday that he would reserve half the money for the agency but would only release it after ClasTran officials met with him to explain why they failed to apply for other grants.
Birmingham Mayor Bell agrees to partial funding for ClasTran
The city of Birmingham will provide half the money needed to prevent cuts for ClasTran, Mayor William Bell said this morning.

Wow was that a bad acquisition or what....
Should have read "while Tex can now (rather than no) adapt"
It's a phenomenal acquisition bought near the bottom of the market; they certainly didn't overpay for it. The proprietary technology alone, which Tex can no adapt to their other equipment, was well worth the price.Just wait a year or two. They know what they are doing.
No I agree...I'm just thinking that it's not working out as planned.....it will be interesting to see how the ASVI sales are going and if there is a downward revision for the ASVI division....CAT owned 20%+ of ASVI and they're not known as a below market seller.
What is the basis for that statement?
Contribution to earnings....where is it

Toronto mayor takes leave, heads to rehab center
TORONTO -- Toronto Mayor Rob Ford began a leave of absence and headed for a rehab center Thursday, leaving his scandalized city in the dark about his political future after a report surfaced of a second video of him apparently smoking crack cocaine.
Ford announced Wednesday that he would take leave for an unspecified amount of time from both his mayoral post and his re-election campaign, but he did not abandon his bid for a second term as mayor of Canada's second largest city. One of his campaign rivals and other Toronto politicians demanded he resign.

Bruno Mars' Album Sales Jump 164 Percent Following Super Bowl Halftime Show
The sales of Bruno Mars' latest album "Unorthodox Jukebox" have gained significant increase following his performance at Super Bowl XLVIII on Sunday, February 2. According to Billboard, the album sold around 40,000 copies by February 2.
That is a 164% gain compared to the previous week, when it sold 15,000 copies. Mars' "Unorthodox Jukebox" is now on course to return to the top 10 of Billboard 200. The album's sales also increased thanks to the singer's recent win at the Grammys. During the Sunday, January 26 event, he took home a trophy for Best Pop Vocal Album.
Mars' Super Bowl show also topped Shazam searches. His performance of "Give It Away" with Red Hot Chili Peppers nabbed the most Shazams while his solo appearance to sing "Just the Way You Are" came in the second place.
The Hawaiian singer's halftime performance during the big game at New Jersey's MetLife Stadium has garnered rave reviews from fans. In addition to taking the stage with Anthony Kiedis and Co., he excited fans with the live performance of his own hits like "Locked Out of Heaven" and "Treasure".
However, it has been revealed that Mars won't get paid for his impressive show. In fact, previous halftime performers like Beyonce Knowles, Madonna and Michael Jackson never received money for performing in front of millions of Super Bowl fans.
The NFL says that instead of paying artists in cash, they give them exposure on the largest concert stage and televised performance ever. "We're putting someone up there for 12 and a half minutes in front of the largest audience that any television program garners in the United States," NFL Director of Programming, Lawrence Randall, told TIME Magazine last year.

Not a good time to be a big, bad telecom with everyone targeting you. Watch AT&T and Verizon stock drop on Monday, while Clearwire jumps.
Seems there is widespread support to preserve the core net neutrality objective and ensure the unfettered access of content providers to the public. With the guidelines and monitoring that has been in place this issue seems to have been contained, or so it seemed.
Many of the newer agendas shoved under the net neutrality umbrella fall more in a preventative "competition leveling" category with the benefits and consequences much less clear while they are also more intrusive into the operational mechanics of network management.
One item the public needs to be very concerned about is that the new rules don't force the telecom industry back toward a price-per-minute or price-per-packet pricing model for data access. Even the IT industry would agree that the fixed-price, virtual all-you-can-eat pricing model was and is critical to the continued growth, popularity and utility of the net.
Yes, I agree with that what if analysis. However, when I think about who would push for that among political hacks of both parties, lobbyists aligned with industry groups or niche groups such as public safety, operators, third party VoIP.. who would gain from that either politically or financially?
I agree that operators should have the ability to shape the network but also that this should be open to participation that lines up, as a simplified explanation, being "equal access to equal aplications" to core end-to-end transport. Of course, that can get muddy real easy.. what I am trying to describe without much elegance is a that wireless networks should provide subscribers with low latency, low jitter service at a bandwidth level based on some reasonable formula expectation. Since there are fairly easily defined 'abusers' who can be held out of the way of harm through limits during peak hours, the real-time dependent services should be reasonably managed. Getting different groups and the FCC to agree on that is a big can of worms.
What I don't like to see is for IT, Internet search, ebanking/payments and all the other things folded into cloud 4G networks being excluded from participation due to arbitrary caps or targeted treatment. Understandably that goes beyond what many operatros may want but I don't think what operators want is naturally in the whole of ICT's best interests or the public and government sectors best interests... there is natural economic and societal conflicts on this issue.
If the Commission goes further than the original goal of ensuring content providers have unfettered access to the pipes and requires network operators treat all applications and IP packets equally, without prioritization and without traffic shaping it means commercial grade mobile VoIP may never happen for CLWR.
CLWR would be forever dependent upon Sprint or other incumbent PCS operators for a mobile voice service, and they'd have to plan on never having their own voice revenue.
And CLWR wouldn't be the only victim. The VoIP experience for everyone else could suffer as well.
Denied the ability to use traffic shaping to deliver an acceptable user experience virtually all carriers would eventually resort to using end-user pricing as a rationing mechanism for bandwidth control - hence higher prices to consumers. So instead of having unequal treatment today among some net based applications the inequality would be created would be among the "have's" and "have nots" that can afford to buy all the data services they want. This would create a new dimension to the same old economic-based digital divide we're already familiar with.
The mere thought of just some of the ramfications of where the FCC is allegedly headed has so many negatives and so many unintended consequences that the uproar and solidarity among operators and informed public could be unprecedented.
FCC Chairman will give a grand speech tomorrow with enough tough talk to satisfy the most activist government-knows-best consitutents, but by the time the industry pushback occurs and a rule actually developed it is likely to face multiple court challenges and if it survives at all it will eventually be cut down to a shadow of its original form.
By the time its finished we can only hope the FCC can at least accomplish the original net neutrality goal and ensure content providers have unfettered access to the public.
In that post I was talking more generally about the motivations of users versus operator groups.
Your post is very pertinent to issue: there is the need to more closely control the flow of data over the network no matter if you are coming from the 'open cloud environment' perspective or that of an incumbent operator. Of course, operators such as AT&T are among the world's largest provider of cloud services and thus must be responsive to enterprise class customers who want access to SaaS/NaaS and also have common APIs, assured QoS, and portability of applications that they develop/co-develop.
Uncontrolled PtP or other traffic can impact the common public access networks.
I personally don't think it makes sense for the FCC to influence the control over PtP or other except that applications should be open to competition: They should not be able to restrict access to alternative VoIP in cases similar to the iPhone.
Packet equality is something else: operators should be able to restrict, on a fair and equal application basis, use based on impact to the network... on the basis of QoS - because that is essential to developing robust networks that deliver the most benefit to the higher number of users. And I think that operaators should have a high degree of flexibility in how they determine rate plans: demand shaping policies that encourage through higher/lower charges or 'free' bandwidth during low usage periods for example. Some rather simple methods could be used, such as pre-fetching emails while network traffic is low.. devices with smart web browsers, off-peak downloads of often accessed information and syncing of files on mobile devices.. all of that should be fair game for operators and applications and web service providers to develop.
I don't profess to know what the FCC is now doing in much detail and will wait to see what they have to say and what rulings they may announce.
Wrong topic.
Aren't you talking about something similar to Apple vs Google Voice?
That's a company who is trying to control the application ecosystem of their devices. Your points apply to that problem.
Packet equality is something else. Web browsing and downloading torrents will both use TCP, with their application protocol layered on top of that. Current ISPs, including clearwire, will inspect those TCP packets to figure out what applications it is being used for (which is 2-3 layers above their "responsibility"). They can then block out or slow down to a crawl any use of their network that they don't like, such as P2P. All of this I think is fair game especially in an environment will limited resources (that's their excuse as well). The problem some people have is they would use it to also block ( or render unusable) applications that won't negatively impact other users, such as VoIP. Mobile operators would benefit from this as they make so much money from their voice services.
What those people do not take into account however, is that mobile operators do not have to explicitly block voip to render it useless. They just have to not-support it. The natural latency and jitter of wireless networks combined with even normal load would make the quality of the voice call unacceptable.
At the extreme, if all packets are declared equal, and users are free to use whatever bandwidth hogging applications anytime they want, which service do you think will be hit hardest:
Clearwire with unlimited data plan mostly from desktops and laptops, or an incumbent operator with mostly mobile phone users and 5GB data cap/month?
The basic 'clash of the titans' concept is between the IT industry perspective and the operator owned and operated network perspective. The future of communications, 4G and beyond, as seen by ITU and others who have formulated what is likely to evolve and what is desired from both an industry and a societal perspective is for communications to be ICT, not mobile and not IT communications. ICT stands for Information and Communication Technologies and can best be viewed as the cloud of inter-networks.
From the IT perspective, corporations, governments and individuals want a high degree of control over THEIR computing network and applications. That does not mean you have to own everything, in fact the model is moving more towards SaaS. But users want to be able to make decisions that suit their needs and strategic objectives: sometimes organizations or individuals want to buy hardware and software even if it might make more sense to buy that as a service available over a broadband connection. People want control. And innovation is more fluidly enthused when is unleashed in an open environment.
Wireless operators want to own the network and an increasing part of the applications environment as wireless has become mobile. The mobile industry makes money selling access to wireless communications pipes and applications and extended services that they control or control through surrogates under binding agreements. They want to own the apparatus the brings new creativity to the network.. open but they still want to be the gatekeepers.
"Users want everything for nothing" Users always want 'unobtainium' - borrowing from the aerospace industry - the perfect product/material that has no wieght, not cost, and does a miraculous job.
Companies want to sell you something: operators want your money.. no surprise in that. And they are faced with the diilema that if they give users what they are accustomed to in the IT/Internet environment that the user will find better, cheaper, more tailored or just 'cooler' (herd mentality) ways to satisfy their needs... they face loss of control over revenues.
Its the money honey... everyone wants it. But as the US economy has found, you have to create value over the long run. The world, the macro economy, the micro economy has to be competitive. The garden walls have to come down and they are.
Operators should provide access to users of networks that are not bottle-knecks to the ICT vision.
Big Telecom has an inherent advantage, particularly during times when the economy has become a grand ponzi scheme and must come down to the reality of supply and demand: they have huge cash flows.
The government should only go so far as to require that all similar apps have access to like services imo. Freedom to innovate should be maintained in fair compromise between operators and applications and users.
Anyway, we will see what the FCC determines and how the various parts of the ICT industry reacts.
In a environment where all IP packets are required to be treated equal in all respects, CLWR may never be able to offer commercial grade mobile VoIP. That helps them how?
Reality is, the FCC doesn't yet know how to implement this plan.
Last I checked, the powers to be within the FCC and more importantly the Obama Administration have voiced their preferences for massive wireless broadband expansion. I'm afraid Merlot you are backing the wrong horse again, because our new President wants to see small companies like Clerwire to succeed.
Just do a lttle research on the FCC panel, and you'll find out Wimax is in their blood.

Review from A Google User
Problems Dont really see the advantage in the new UI. 2 things I'd like you to change: 1. Orientation, cant go portrait mode on my asus eee pad. 2. Live sync issues, i only get notified about new messages when i go into the app, not by the notification bar, which is annoying
Though many ppl say that skype is getting outdated. To my opinion, skype is still good in terms of availability when contacting a close-friend, family, or a distant relative that resides on a different country. All you need is a device that is internet capable and internet connection, and connecting to those ppl are just a few clicks away. Though the revamped version kinda ruins the scenery, it's still good that Skype is evolving. Microsoft has plans for this great app, to lead and compete with viber...
Microphone doesn't work Android version 7 on Nexus 10 tablet. Video works fine but contacts can't hear sound from my end. Using the Echo/Soundtest function just confirms these findings. Long story short: the app has been rendered unusable. Will be checking out Google Hangouts instead.
Comparatively good I welcome that Skype is actively fixing issues with regular updates - well done. I've tried a lot of phone/video conferencing apps and I still come back to Skype. I do need to see more features in those regular updates though even if they are introduced as beta. So get your innovation whip going and you'll get a 5 star rating
It's good in general, but not when it logs me out. How am I supposed to know when I've received messages? Every time I launch the app, it turns out that I'm logged out without having ever logged out. It seems to automatically sign me out while the app is closed, so I therefore don't receive notifications of messages or calls. This has been an issue for months now, and none of the recent updates have corrected it.
Does this even deserve a rating? Let's face It People Skype used to be good,... USED TO BE! Now this app,.... Just... Blow my mind with the incompatebilties of it's own features! No notifications on "/me messages", constant disconnecting, ACCESSING THE CONTACTLIST WHEN NO PERMITION FROM WITHIN THE ANDROID SETTINGS WERE GIVEN! This app,... Is just an unacceptable pile of..... Semen, .. Not a swair word,... Deal with it!
Needs major revisions Forces onto Skype wifi then complains no funds. Destroys battery life. Constant notification that imoji have been updated that I have to clear. Customer experience sorely lacking. Still a battery destroying app if running in back ground. Still failing to provide basic release changes. Why provide feedback that is ignored. Read your critical reviews
What's New
New in Version 7.18

Borrowing money when you have a poor credit history can be difficult, especially if you are looking for a loan in a hurry.
However, there are a number of bad credit payday loans now available in the UK which could lend you money at short notice even if you have a bad credit record.
Here's how to compare instant loans for bad credit to ensure you're getting the cheapest deal on your borrowing possible.
Consider alternatives
Instant loans for bad credit may appear to be a convenient way to borrow money but they are also very expensive and unlikely to be a long term solution if you're struggling to manage your finances.
Even if you have a bad credit record there may be other alternatives which could be better for your finances. Read our guide How to Borrow Money With Bad Credit to run through your different financial options.
Decide what you need to borrow
Before you begin your search for a bad credit payday loan you need to decide exactly how much you need to borrow and how long you need to repay the money.
Due to the high cost of bad credit payday loans try and limit the amount you need to borrow to as little as possible.
It also makes sense to choose a loan period that will enable you to repay your debt in full within the shortest time frame to keep your costs down.
Compare prices
Once you've decided how much you need to borrow and how long you will need to pay your loan back you will need to look for the cheapest payday loan possible.
The main factor that determines the cost of any payday loan, including a loan for bad credit applicants is the interest rate.
All loan lenders display a representative APR which is an example of the interest your might pay over the course of 12 months.
However, as you are looking to borrow over a much shorter time scale you can also compare prices based on what you would have to repay if you borrowed £100.
Although you should avoid extending any payday loan beyond you original term, you may also want to check the extension fee, which is charged should you be unable to repay your loan on time. This is something you should avoid doing if at all possible as it's likely to cost you a significant amount.

Apple improves Mac Pro ship times to 3-5 weeksIn a change to the Online Apple Store on Thursday, Apple is now quoting Mac Pro shipping availability at three to five weeks for all configurations, suggesting supply of the flagship Mac is finally catching up to demand.
Since launching the redesigned Mac Pro in December, Apple has struggled to keep up with demand and as recently as February was quoting nearly two-month delays in estimated ship times on new orders.
The situation appears to be improving, however, as current Online Apple Store estimates show new orders will be shipped out in three to five weeks for all configurations. When shipments were at their worst, Apple was quoting month ranges instead of weeks.
Ship-by dates have been slowly improving over April, with checks earlier in the month showing estimates pegged at 5-6 weeks, which moved up to 4-6 weeks on Apr. 11 and finally 4-5 weeks on Apr. 18.
Customers interested in the most powerful Mac ever will still need to place orders through Apple's online storefront, however, as in-store supplies are non-existent.
While Apple is still building up inventory, authorized resellers like MacMall and Adorama have limited supply of certain configurations as seen in AppleInsider's live Price Guides.
On Topic: Mac Pro
- Nvidia working with Apple on graphics for 'revolutionary' new Mac products
- Apple offers free repairs for 2013 Mac Pros with defective video cards

Product care / Use
1. If your mask is creased hard or flattened you can bring the mask back to its original shape by carefully using warm air (IE: Hair dryer) or warm water (IE: Steam)
2. Clean the inside and outside of the mask carefully with soapy water using paper towels. This will help remove any residual sweat and skin oils, which break down latex over time.
3. Rinse off any residual soap with clean water.
4. Dry the mask with paper towels. Do not use terrycloth towels; they can leave fibres behind.
5. Apply a light dusting of baby powder to the inside and outside of the mask to absorb any moisture in the air before it can affect the mask.
6. Brush out any tangles in the hair on the mask with a pick comb, starting at the bottom and working your way to the top. Do not pull too hard with the comb or you can rip the hair out of the mask.
7. Put a Styrofoam head into the mask to help it keep its shape.
8. You may need to cut breathing holes in the mouths or nostrils of some masks to enable eating or drinking.
9. Packing the mask inside will create a more comfortable fit on some larger or character masks that are large or oversized.
10. Display your mask in an area out of direct sunlight, or place it in a plastic bag and store in a dark, dry place, because light makes the mask deteriorate quicker.
11. Foam latex masks are thin so be very careful when taking on or off. Foam latex masks are not manufactured for long periods of use and will deteriorate a lot quicker than usual latex masks, this is a natural and unavoidable natural proccess.
Halloween masks are usually made of either soft latex rubber or Latex (Do not wear if you are allergic to either), both materials are flexible, but over time, they will become brittle and tear, this is a natural and unavoidable natural proccess
(Commercial use and other than private use must be requested in advance )

A few years back, we lived on a beautiful tract of land in the country outside of Social Circle. Oh, you should have seen it: a gurgling creek behind our house that was set in an open meadow, thick stands of hardwood encircling the property and a driveway so long the existence of our house was unknown to passersby on the country road that fronted our place.

My slow cooker died recently. I went to buy a new one, a task I thought would be relatively simple. But, no. Slow cookers come in a variety of shapes and sizes, apparently one size does not fit all. Once I had sorted out size and shape, I then had to choose from a variety of bulbous protuberances on the sides of the cookers which would allow me to program the amounts of time and start times.

Etiquette is a hard word to spell. It's French, and I'm pretty lousy with their language, even though I love their cheese, and I almost bought a new Peugeot back in 1987, right before they pulled out of the US car market.

We make a mistake whenever we believe weather forecasters, don't we? At least that's my opinion. Most of them lost credibility with me a long time ago.

The General Assembly spent Aug. 15 through Aug. 31 in what is called a special session. It is referred to as "special" because it is outside of the normal 40 legislative day period, specified in the state constitution, that starts in January. Special sessions can only be convened by a formal proclamation of the governor, referred to as "the call." These sessions are also restricted to legislating only on the topics the governor specifically includes in his call. Governor Deal's call for this session included three topics. First and primary was legislative and congressional redistricting. The second topic was ...
In my hands was a small, multicolored clay turtle that I had made and painted at elementary school. I carefully walked up the steps to the front of our home, excited to show my mother what I had made and give it to her.

Sensational stories about the application of Sharia (Islamic) law are easy to find. The vast majority of the stories aren't really about Sharia but about abuse of Islamic law. Every time I read one of those stories, I am glad the Sharia isn't being enforced in the United States.
Many in the media are saying how unusual it is for our economy to be so sluggish for so long, after we have officially emerged from a recession. In a sense, they are right. But, in another sense, they are profoundly wrong.

When it comes to an MLB organization's top prospects, I would like to think that most—if not all— of them have Timbuk 3's '80s classic, "The Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades," constantly playing in their minds.
Unfortunately, as the law of averages goes in the MLB, that is not always the case.
Some players fail to hit at the higher levels while some players fail to pitch at the higher levels.
Whatever the case, the proverbial MLB cup of coffee is rarely achieved, sinking a team's future aspirations of success.
When you are an organization with a farm system ranked last by ESPN's Keith Law like the Los Angeles Angels have been, that point is only magnified.
Now, that's not to say the Angels system is completely shot. There are a few prospects that have a chance to help the big league club, possibly sooner than originally predicted.
Things can also always change—wrong one day, right the next day.
So now that I have that song stuck in you heads, let's take a look at the Angels' top 10 prospects, according to MLB.com, through the week of May 27, 2013, and see if things are going great and only getting better.
Or not.

2000 GMC Yukon Denali Review
Very Nice Looking And Running — I love this vehicle it runs good drives good gets me to where I need to be and is reliable. It has newer GMC Denali wheels on it so it makes it look really nice and my kids love it the dog love that we have enough room for everybody basically went from a 2000 Honda Civic Coupe to this and we haven't been camping yet but I foresee a lot of camping trips in our near future. Got a great deal on it only had to pay 5700 for it and it only had 127,000 miles on it when I bought it in February 2015. A lot of people of that it's a nice-looking rig. Hope it lasts a long time for us.
Primary Use: Commuting to work
Pros: It's almost like brand-new inside it's been well taken care of and I can haul all of my friends and family in it and we can go on lots of trips. It looks pretty
Cons: don't get very good gas mileage costs a lot of money to fill up sometimes

2000 GMC Yukon Denali 4WD Review
Money Pit — This vehicle has been very unreliable especially with start related issues such as fuel pumps, gas tank, intake manifold, starter and even a new engine. Transmission was replaced too. The illumination on the radio buttons do not work. Sometimes the daytime running lamps will shut off. After almost a complete engine replacement (new) and oxygen sensors the check engine light remains "on."
Primary Use: Family transportation
Pros: Cargo space
Cons: Very costly to maintain

2000 GMC Yukon Denali 4WD Review
Very Good Reliable Car — The gas milage is very low compared to newer suvs, of course. The rear air suspension is nice but has to many issues with the pump going out and holes in the airbags. Overall the vehicle is made extremely well for the dirt roads I live on.
Primary Use: Family transportation
Pros: Lots of passenger room. Good power when towing. Cheap to repair.
Cons: Very heavy vehicle. Front bucket seats are made for very large people, its like sitting on my own love seat, which I dont like when driving. No cargo space when using the 3rd row.

2000 GMC Yukon Denali 4WD Review
If You Find One Cheep Buy It :) — This is actually my first vehicle and i love it. Great get up and go sounds nice and looks amaizing. I have had a few repairs to make since i purchased but its an all around solid truck. Gas mileage is not the greatest but its to be expected with any truck 70 bucks to fill it for 250km in the winter and 350km in summer. still have to do plugs and wires though. Comfy and smooth ride with luxury to go with it, also around here i look like an undercover police unit so i dont get bothered by the cops much other than a wave.
Primary Use: Commuting to work
Pros: power style and smooth ride with luxury
Cons: gas mileage i guess

Maron finds insight on TV, podcasts
Marc Maron is one of the best interviewers you are likely to hear.
And along with his twice-weekly interview podcast, "WTF with Marc Maron," he headlines one of TV's funniest shows: the scripted comedy "Maron," whose second season is airing Thursdays on IFC.
Maron launched the podcast five years ago. His 20-year career as a standup comic was in tatters and his personal life (that of a recovering alcoholic with two failed marriages) not much rosier.
"WTF" was born in his garage in a Los Angeles neighborhood no one would mistake for Bel-Air or Marina del Rey. There he started interviewing fellow comedians, bringing empathy and insight to conversations about their common craft and particular struggles.
"WTF" caught on. Each month it is downloaded as many as 3 million times, and, closing in on its 500th episode, has drawn a showbiz who's who to his garage for sessions that prove not only funny and illuminating but also serve as group therapy for Maron, guest and audience alike.
"I started talking to people because I really needed help," he said, "and I think my interviewing style evolved from a deep need to connect with each of them for that hour."
"WTF" raised Maron's profile and gave his standup dates a shot in the arm.
Then, a year ago, "Maron" put him on display in a TV version of his life as a hapless comic with a podcast, neuroses, issues with women and a penchant for getting himself into jams.
The show was well-received. But Maron, 50, cops to nervousness as he faced this season's 13 episodes, which he again cowrote and coproduced as well as starred in.
"The first season was very personal, and I didn't know how much more I had: I don't live that big a life," he said. "Then I learned that if the fictional version is solid, you can build stories on it and make them feel true."
During the season, he buys a pricey "tube amp" sound system with perilous romantic consequences. He bombs big-time as a guest on the AMC fan show "The Talking Dead." His dizzy mother (Sally Kellerman) lands for a visit.
The cast of "Maron" also includes Andy Kindler, Josh Brener, Dave Anthony and Judd Hirsch (as Marc's father), with numerous guest stars passing through.
"Maron" may seem kin to autobiographical comedies like Louis C.K.'s "Louie" and Larry David's "Curb Your Enthusiasm," but it remains true to itself and its singular protagonist.
And Maron, with little TV experience, rises to the occasion he had stopped hoping for.
"By the time this all happened," he said, "I'd given up any expectation of a TV project, and I didn't know how to do it. But I knew I was ready."
