I am Brazilian and I already lived in Rio De Janeiro and the most of the Favelas are realy dangerous and it is not a beautiful place.Most of people say it is part of our culture but me as Brazilian say certainly it is not .
Cariocafreeculture is a unique project that will hopefully start many new beginnings here in Rio.
They offer a beginners Português class titled : favela ghetto slang, offering the basics to get around Rio for your first time, including local slangs. Class is held in a modest home in the favela community Vidigal, with a tour of the community after to give you the chance to practice your new skills.
They also offer visits to Rocinha where your guide grew up! Come meet local people and hear the history of the biggest favela in South America!
Or hike to the top of Dois Irmãos Mountain with some of the most amazing views in Rio.

A VERY safe tour is at http://www.vale-encantado.org/Savours.html
You can simple visit the place or also walk into the Forest (Floresta da Tijuca), the biggest urban forest in the world. All the money goes back to the community. There are tracks of 1 to 3 hours, as the visitors prefer.

Clinging precariously to the mountainsides that surround the city's affluent south zone, Rio's favelas, or shanty towns, are a source of both fear and fascination for visitors. Middle-class locals will tell you that to enter into such a place is to risk violent attack, but in reality, there is much more to life in the favelas than drug crime and violence. While it is not advisable to venture into the favelas alone (not least because the lack of street names makes it easy to get lost), visiting with a recognized and respected tour group such as the long-established Favela Tour will give you a unique and valuable insight into the way these communities are run. English speaking guides will take you to Rocinha, the largest favela in South America, and normally one other favela as well.

Perhaps the title is a bit overstated, a Favela isn't exactly a family oriented activity but it still is something that tourists, much like myself, feel like they have to visit. Perhaps its the stunning poverty, or the open sewage that attracts the interest of said tourist, or maybe its the thrill of seeing shanty's that are built from anything from cardboard to tin. I think its the thrill of being surrounded by both poor people and drug dealers that make it a must see sight. Whatever the case maybe the toughest thing about visiting a favela is just that...visiting. One could pick a random favela to wander into but the chances are slim of ever wandering out. These slums are crime ridden and run by some of the nastiest drug dealer south of Mexico. Now you could take a guided tour which is quite safe, but then your just contributing money to the drug lords. So my advice is to do what I did and visit the Santa Marta favela which has been cleaned up and policed by the government and offers free guides through the slum. Nestled in the shadows of Corvacado and under the watchful eyes of Christ the Redeemer this favela offers incredible views and a chance to not only rub shoulder with destitute children and money grubbing drug dealers, but a chance to actually see where the King of Pop, Micheal Jackson, filmed one of his music videos. They even have a statue of the King himself in the favela. So bring the family, or not, and come visit the safest favela that I know of in Rio!
Like much of Brazil, Rio is a city of rich and poor. Much of the poor population lives in what is known as favelas (pronounced fa-VEH-las), which are isolated neighbourhoods of often hastily constructed buildings, completely separate from urban Rio, yet within close proximity. These favelas are often mistakenly referred to as slums, but they are real neighbourhoods with buildings, schools, shops and other infrastructure. Notorious for being dangerous, these favelas are in fact quite organised and have little crime within each community, but they lead the illegal drug trade in Brazil. It is said that each favela is headed by a single drug lord and many in the community work in the business (sounds like the Mafia). The dangers occur when different favelas quarrel over the drug trade, resulting in many shootings. Favelas occupy many of the hills around Rio, often with the best views, so they are clearly visible from the city. For those interested, a couple of tourist agencies organise tours of favelas (completely safe).
Favela is the Brazilian term for Shanty Town. Taking a tour of one or two should be a part of one's visit to Rio since they house one quarter of Rio's population. It's an eye opening tour. It made me realize how rich I am and how non-issues some of my worries have been. I also saw a resourcefulness that inspired me.
The tour I took was a 3-hour tour into 2 favelas — Roçinha, Rio's largest and Vila Canoas, a small favela surrounded by a very very wealthy neighborhood. In Roçinha we stopped first at a small market geared towards the favela tourists and were introduced to the merchants. The view from this spot is quite amazing. The second stop is on the rooftop of a house on land owned by the residents/family showing how some are lives are improving. Third stop is in the middle of the busy, bustling market in Roçinha. The forth is at the Para Ti school in Vila Canoas. The fifth is in Vila Canoas where we walked through the narrow passageways of the neighborhood.
My tour is run by Marcelo Armstrong and called "the most insightful and longest-established" by Lonely Planet. His are highly responsible and donate part of the tour fee to community projects within the favelas.
Best to organize this directly with him/his tour company. I paid R$65, but six Germans who joined the tour booked from their hotel and paid R$75 each to their hotel. We were told this by our tour guide who asked me and the other person on the tour who booked directly. Eight is the max size of the tour. Also they pick up at hotels. They didn't pick up at the hostel I was staying at, but I met them 3 blocks away at the Caesar Hotel.

There are close to 550 favelas in Rio, most of which have been erected on former public land and have clawed themselves onto the slopes of the city's steep hillsides. Emerging during the last 30 years, Rio's favelas are now home to 20 percent of the city's population. However, they remain a mystery for most visitors travelling independent of watchful local guides.
Let's face it - no matter how many honest, hard working people live in favelas, they are dominated by drug factions.
When you go on favela tours, funk ball tours or any similar activity, the tour operators pay "fees" to the drug factions for visiting rights and to ensure safety.
Please do not support the drug culture that opress a lot of the population.
Besides, think of how the local people feel, having tourists gape at their houses. Would you like it if a loud jeep fool of foreigners pulled up in front of where you live and started taking photos.
Please don't tell me how nice everyone was - there is a lot of pressure for these tours to work and the opertors know who to avoid.
it's a nice to check out how the life in favela is, but really it can be a tourist trap too, because they shouw to u the biggest favela in south america, the most touristic favela, and the touristic part, so don't think the life in every favela it like to this one, this is a favela but it get a lot of money by the tour operation which organize the tour, and the popuolation receive money to survive from narcotraficant man...., so don't have a wrong idea about the life in this favela, u can think..., all the same the life in this favela is good, but there are others favelas which are really poor...
anyway dont' try to go there alone, but if u want to go there , go with a guide...!!!

This isn't necessarily an attraction per se, but Rocinha is Rio's largest favela, with around 100,000 inhabitants. There are favela tours, which I didn't have time to do, but they come highly recommended and provide a glimpse of what life is like for favela dwellers.
Now that we have gotten the picture-postcard perfect aspects of Rio de Janeiro out of the way, it is time to learn something very different and interesting.
Favelas or slums are groups of wonky houses built on the side of the hills ALL OVER the major cities and many are found here in Rio de Janeiro.
An interesting thing to do in Rio is to take a favela tour. There were 600 favelas here in Rio. Most had never seen tourists and as drugs are heavily trafficked here (i.e. many dodgy characters who are heavily armed are wandering around) and 'managed' by drug-lords, it was best to join a tour. Never head out there alone.
Our guide assured us there are 0 robberies here (he did not share the murder statistics though), i.e. we tourists can hang our cameras on our necks. This is because drug-lords do not allow petty crimes here as they did not want the inconvenience of having policemen around.
But still, it does not mean it is safe for tourists to come alone. We might inadvertently be wearing the 'wrong' colours, the colours of the rival drug-gang and be gunned down by mistake. Not the nicest way to return home from your holidays.
The guide shared stories with us and while the scary stories stuck to my mind, I could not envision the violence attached to them.
I recommend you to watch the movie 'CIDADE DE DEUS' or 'CITY OF GOD'. This fantastic Brazilian movie, based on a true story, will really show you the unimaginable violence attached to drug-related crimes in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro.
Visiting the favelas one can see graffiti painted on the walls. The lettering indicates which gang is in charge of the favela - in this case ADA - is the Friends of the Friends gang.
well well Rio is the only place in the world where poor people have a better view and location..up on the hills favelas look beutiful from helicopter or glitery during the night from Leblon beach..

Skip to comments.Terror Suspect Arraigned in Hospital Bed (Detroit flight)
Posted on 12/26/2009 3:10:16 PM PST by Kieri
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (WXYZ) - The 23-year-old man police say tried to blow up a Delta airlines flight from Amsterdam to Detroit has been arraigned in his hospital bed at the University of Michigan Hospital in Ann Arbor.
Action News reporter Peggy Agar and an Associated Press reporter were chosen to witness the arraignment. Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab has been charged with attempting to destroy an aircraft and placing a destructive device onboard an aircraft. The charges were filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan in Detroit.
Investigators say the Nigerian flew from his home country to Amsterdam where he board the flight to Detroit with an explosive device attached to his leg. Witnesses say that during flight he went to the bathroom where he remained for about 20 minutes. It was after he returned, and during the flight's final approach to Metro, that witnesses reported hearing what sounded like firecrackers and smelled smoke.
The passengers than tackled Abdulmutallab and put out the small fire that the explosives had started. He was then restrained until he could be removed from the plane by law enforcement officials. According to federal investigators, a flight attendant asked what he had in his pocket after he was subdued. They say he replied an "explosive device." Abdulmutallab suffered burns to his legs. Several passengers were also injured.
Investigators with the FBI have analyzed the device used in the attack. They say it contained the high explosive Pentaerythritol tetranitrate, also known as PETN. This is the same explosive Richard Reid used in his attempt to blow up a plane using explosives hidden in his shoes in 2001.
In announcing the charges, US Attorney General Eric Holder said "This alleged attack on a U.S. airplane on Christmas Day shows that we must remain vigilant in the fight against terrorism at all times. Had this alleged plot to destroy an airplane been successful, scores of innocent people would have been killed or injured. We will continue to investigate this matter vigorously, and we will use all measures available to our government to ensure that anyone responsible for this attempted attack is brought to justice."
As a nurse in taking care of him, I would see to all his medical needs but I think I would have to tell him would a cowardly POS he is
Kwame Kilpatrick has been appointed his defense attorney.
UofM hospital uses leeches. I think this slimeball would enjoy a visit from several dozens of his cousins.
I say the coward chicken out! now lets take care of him like he has the rights we don't have anymore~~~geez obozo sure us screwed us
I hope he's getting not quite enough morphine to knock down the pain from those burns.
No charges of terrorism or the attempted murder of each individual on the plane? This is ridiculous!!!
" US Attorney General Eric Holder said "This alleged attack on a U.S. airplane on Christmas Day ——————"
Alleged attack? I'm speechless.
Another mind-numbingly dumb statement from our useless AG.
Pretty much what Bubba said after the first bombing of the NY Tower in 1993. And the two Embassy bombings...and the Cole...
They say it contained the high explosive Pentaerythritol tetranitrate....A sniffer is required to detect PETN....
Hi Roccus. You echo my thoughts exactly.
I give odds that as soon as the dust settles, true to form he will claim to be mentally ill. When Muslims get caught during terrorist acts, they will often claim a mentally ill defense, because that, while real mental illness is shunned in Muslim countries, *faking* mental illness to avoid punishment by infidels is seen as "crafty".
While this might work in Europe, however, back in the 1960s in the US the mental illness defense was so overused that it is now terribly hard to prove. There is also the finding of "mentally ill but guilty", that still puts them in prison.
He will find lots of friendlys in Ann Arbor..thats a university town....full of leftys....
In announcing the charges, US Attorney General Eric Holder said "This alleged attack on a U.S. airplane on Christmas Day shows that we must remain vigilant in the fight against terrorism at all times...."Also remain vigilant for new business for your Terrorist Defender law firm, hey Eric?
And how's that New York terror trial working out for you, Eric?
Islam is codified, institutional mental illness. When they admit to that, I'll think about accepting mental illness as a defense.
Too bad its not the morgue....
Is he gonna get free health care too..because if he does, he should have to wait a year along with the rest of us
Come on give the guy a break, you act like no-one has ever mixed up viagra and PETN and thought they were supposed to use it by strapping it on next to their ding-a-ling.
Uh, idiot you idiot (holder), not only would everybody on the plane would be DEAD, but possibly ground casualties, too.
I don't think we're out of the woods yet. God knows how many other idiot jihdis have been mobilized.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find only things evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelogus
Let us not forget Khobar Towers. 19 US servicemen dead.
Everything is "alleged" until something happens in a court of law. I know that's nonsense talk, but, Eric Holder means technically, legally, that these are just allegations now.
I know it's stupid. The Ft. Hood guy "allegedly" massacred people. The people aren't allegedly dead, they really are dead. But that's what you get with politically correct legal thinking.
Perhaps he didn't even have a passport at Amsterdam
...and to wash it down:
(Hey, we don't want to waste any of the *good* stuff on him...)
I am really quite certain the Prophet Mohammed, PBUH, wrote in the Q'uran that the use of painkillers is forbidden to those who would enter into Paradise.
In her live TV report, Peggy (Sweetie) Agar went on to describe how gentle and politely soft-spoken the terrorist was during the legal proceedings inside the hospital...how young and calm he looked, etc. The fact that he smiled and how she actually made eye contact with him...WTF???

If you have been following this blog for quite some time, you know that I love to bake. Before I started to eat clean, I loved to bake all of those decadent gooey desserts that you see on sites like Pinterest. Changing my diet has taught me to be creative in baking healthier sweets. My husband is a big fan of almond joy, so he had the idea to make almond joy cookies.
These cookies were inspired by my Almond Joy Energy Bites. They are gluten free as well as vegan. My husband worked from home yesterday and he got to taste test them right out of the oven. To quote him verbatim, "These may be the most delicious things you have ever made." So I had to share them with all of you!
Almond Joy Cookies
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
Serves: 12 cookies
- 1½ cup gluten free oat flour
- ½ cup almond butter
- ½ cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup Nutiva coconut oil melted
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground vanilla bean or vanilla extract
- ½ tsp almond extract
- 1 egg (I used a flax egg replacer)
- ½ dark chocolate bar roughly chopped (cacao nibs would work well too)
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Mix all the dry ingredients in one bowl. (I actually ground up some rolled oats to make my oat flour.)
- In a saucepan on med heat, combine the almond butter, coconut oil and maple syrup and stir until smooth.
- Let mixture cool.
- Once it's cooled add it to the dry ingredients and also add the vanilla, egg and almond extract.
- Once everything is well combined, fold in the dark chocolate.
- Drop cookies onto a lined baking sheet.
- Bake for about 12 minutes and serve.

Flu hitting hard in state
JACKSON, Miss. - The Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH) has received several reports from clinical partners throughout the state of serious complications from flu in younger adults, including deaths.
"The only type of flu identified in Mississippi so far this year is the 2009 influenza A H1N1 strain, which has in past years primarily affected those under 65 years of age," said Dr. Thomas Dobbs, MSDH State Epidemiologist. "This year, we've received reports of serious complications and some deaths associated with influenza infection in those under 65. During the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, 80 percent of the deaths were in people younger than 65, unlike a typical flu season in which the majority of deaths occur in those 65 and older."

Blu-Ray DVD
Unlike previous arguments for intelligent design, DNA By
Design presents a radical and comprehensive new case, revealing the
evidence not merely of individual features of biological complexity but
rather of a fundamental constituent of the universe: information.
Dr. Meyer is the first to bring the relevant data together into a
powerful demonstration of the intelligence that stands outside nature -
- God -- and directs the path life has taken.
The astonishing
complexities of DNA have raised questions which the ruling scientific
orthodoxy can not begin to answer. As one of the scientist arguing for
intelligent design as the crucial missing link in our understanding of
how life came to be, Steve Meyer guides us lucidly through that
labyrinth of questions opened by discoveries in molecular biology on
the frontier of scientific knowledge. Exciting scientific confirmation
that Almighty God created DNA as the basic building block of all animal
life on Earth! Your faith will be greatly increased.

Can it be that we are being

Knowing and using these four simple questions can revolutionize your

conversation with a young man who has joined the increasing trend to
embrace the idea of atheism.
Hovind cites quotes from Christopher
Hitchens, Paul Baird, David Hume, and other famous anti-God spokesmen,
whose own words call atheism into question. Learn the one thing that
the Bible says God must give to anyone before they will receive the
truth - even atheists. Understanding this fact will give viewers a
deeper passion and empathy for those lost in the pride of their
misplaced belief.
This mantra of
evolutionary teaching actually calls Jesus Christ
a liar, God the Father a liar, Gods Word a liar.

Lenovo G450
Reviews for the Lenovo G450
Source: Student Buying Guide
Overall the Lenovo G450 is a good laptop for the price. When spending a limited amount on a laptop you know there will be certain sacrifices such as not having all the ports you might like and a design that isn't exactly stunning. I like the fact the G450 has a solid feel to it and seems it will last some of the bumps and bruises that come with getting carried around in a backpack.

Great support and support fast revenue cycle management
A little bit of learning curve at first, but what EHR isn't
This is the best EHR for chronic care management tracking/billing.

Customer support is great. If the issue is not resolved immediately a case with someone that can solve the problem will address it in a timely manner. Major fixes remain in a queue with a status for you to review online anytime.
There is a large learning curve so the training investment is necessary if your new to operating a clinic with an efficient EMR. If your office is comfortable with the programming side you can develop templates that will increase your office efficiency.
Determine how much time you are willing to dedicate one person to the migration and implementation within your office. Know that physician is the only one that knows their work flow in the room and that time will need to be dedicated to evaluation and implementation of their work flow into any system.

I really dont find much I like about this product. It was a good sale when pitched, but most of what was told to us was not true. I do would not ever purchase this again.
You cant do the simplest of things on this system. Cant even run a good patient list.
The recommendation is make sure your salesman gives you some thing in writing or they will only give you 1/2 the story to make the sale. They give a good pitch.

It is easy to use, and there are training videos. You can easily customize to you own practice.
There isn't enough support when something new comes out. Only one person can be in the note at a time.
Make sure your vendor has all the support you need

The support given during the implementation period.
The EMR is difficult to maneuver for both providers and health support staff. The system crashes constantly and there has never been enough response from support to fix the situation. The verification process did not work most of the time. On the PM side our staff did all of the work to prepare for claim filing. RCM virtually did nothing to earn the percentage charged. Unfriendly response from RCM managers regarding the billing errors and invoicing errors. Never issued credit for copays and self pay accounts.
Check all reviews on all available search engines prior to evaluating the product. Speak to more than one client prior to evaluating. Stay away from this product at all costs.

I like that the system is not so complicated in the sense that anyone can learn to use the system with no problems.
At times the system does slow down. Taking a bit of time to open up certain pages. But it is nothing that cannot be fixed.
I honestly recommend trying the system out. I guarantee this is one of the easiest systems to work with, you will not be disappointed.

The software is easy to use and is easily customized for individual providers. I love that Aprima listens to their customers regarding enhancement ideas and implements those that are important to the users. Aprima is always improving their product for it's customers!
I would like for the vendor to be a little more knowledgeable of our state's Medicaid billing requirements, however, they have done an AMAZING job at taking the time to listen to our needs, research and make changes needed to improve the functionality to meet our needs.
Call and schedule a Demonstration. Ask for references from the sales team. Aprima customers are very satisfied customers!

Relatively inexpensive compared to competition. PM is relatively straight-forward to use.
The EHR is not very intuitive, is very click-heavy, and exceedingly difficult to customize.
In general, I would recommend staying away from this product. If you must use it, spend a good amount of time up front customizing for your needs.

Providers are able to complete tasks and send directions to staff once the system is setup correctly. There are many ways based on the flow of your clinic to execute billing, orders, and referrals. You can throw something to together quickly to get started or spend the time to take full advantage of the features that improve work flow and efficiency. You can migrate most of your existing materials and automate things that once were done on paper.
Customer service responds to problems based on their designation of criticalness. You might get a fix the same day or the next but you can always long on to review the status of your problem. You need someone on staff that can translate your office flow with Aprima's capabilities if the person you designate does not know why something is done you won't get the full use of Aprima's tools. You'll have to wait for a trainer to observe your clinic to translate your workflow into Aprima.
Evaluate each software as two separate systems. First and foremost will it help your providers with completing notes quicker and accurately? Second what is the ease of billing and scheduling does the system do what your clinic does in some fashion. Do you want something out of the box working on day one, a cookie cutter system, or a customized system to match you workflow? You need to invest in the time before you evaluate any system to understand your clinic flow, practitioners thought process, and understand the best use of time for staff and providers. Review the products and use your allocated time for EHR first narrow your list to the systems you like best, then use the second meeting with a narrower group to show how your must have tools work like documenting a visit, sending prescriptions, or sending orders. Then narrow the list to showcase the PMS and see which system from you narrow choices help tract patients and throughout the clinic visit from registration and scheduling to checkout.

We were able to customize it to our specialty, Also the ICD10 conversion was seamless. All of the issues we had have been resolved thanks to the dedication of our vendor.
We honestly have no complaints at this time all issues have been resolved.

It is easy to put in templates (but then, it was easy to template dictated notes when I was simply using microsoft word)
Not even slightly intuitive. Requires a trained expert to demonstrate all the most very basic functions. Bills itself as being easy to customize, but that has certainly not been my experience. The entire program seems to me to have been designed to keep the IT department in business.
Make sure you are happy with how all of the basic functions work right out of the box, because it is unlikely he will be able to make any significant changes to the way the program flows.

It is user friendly. Easy to move around in after setting templates up for scheduling, with the correct training ( we had to pay additional for).
The customer support is the worst of any company we have ever used.
Also your pretty much on your own to learn the system, they don't train and never help.
Choose another EHR...............run fast!!! This could be an EHR that practices could use but with no training and no support it rates one of the worst. Also they charge you for every thing you do or add.

Nothing yet. The system is very cumbersome. It does help calculate the level of service, which is helpful.
Nearly everything. Everything takes a millions clicks, and then the text that comes out is horrible. It looks and feels like a point and click system. The history has no flow when reading it. I am currently finishing my training with Aprima. My partner has used it for several years, and I really had no other options in this practice for my EMR. So far I find it cumbersome and fairly difficult to customize. I just found out that for the simplest task (to modify a medication for a patient), it actually cannot be done. If the sig is entered incorrectly, you actually have to delete it then re-enter it. I have never heard of something so ridiculous in all my life. It requires being perfect with data entry, which is just not humanly possible. Not recommended.
Keep looking. I have looked at several systems and wished that the practice had chosen Praxis instead.

Aprima is very flexible. The fact that it is chief complaint driven allows easy documentation in primary care.
Honestly, any issues we've had over the years have been addressed and corrected by the support staff via hot fixes or upgrades.
Get 5-6 vendors to give you presentations. Then narrow it down to 2-3. and go to a practice that is using the product to see it in real time use.

Ease in finding notes once entered into the EHR display is nice.

Don't just do a demo of it, try to set up customizations including templates for P.E., ROS, letters, referrals and scanning.

I have learned to use the software despite having to adopt it to my specialty. My front office likes the software.
The offsite server is extremely slow most of the time, and I am unable to wait for it to finish my note between patients. Recently, the server has been down for hours preventing us from finishing our work. It's very frustrating. Of course, Aprima always says it is our fault. We have upgraded all computers and internet without much improvement.
How do you really know about this type of software until you are actually using it? Aprima boasts about the speed of their server and makes us feel like we are the only ones experiencing this problem. Right now, I have the internet, but Aprima says I've lost the connection. We are trying to attest, but these interruptions are preventing us from filing in timely fashion. I would think twice about this EMR.

We were an Allscripts MyWay user. After 18 months on the product Allscripts decided to discontinue support for MyWay and offered us a "free" upgrade to their very busy Professional product. After putting a pencil to it the "free" upgrade was going to cost us considerably. Aprima to the rescue!
Because they wrote the MyWay product, their EHR was exactly what my physicians were used to using so the transition for them was seamless. The product is user friendly and not too busy. The PM product is wonderful! The applications are also user-friendly and easy to maneuver. We are getting paid within days of filing claims. We are very pleased with both aspects of this product and learning more each day as we use it. Also, the support is wonderful. You actually get an English-speaking American. That is worth its weight in gold to me.
Sometimes the turnaround time on logged cases is not as quick as I'd like.
For the EMR, if you have providers who are not too tech-savvy, this product is for you. However, my tech-savvy physicians are very pleased as well. The product is very user-friendly. Everyone will have that initial 2-3 months of chaos, but after the transition is done, you will find this product beneficial to your practice. The PM product is better than I imagined, and I look forward to seeing what all this thing can do for my practice.
Jack from Associates in Medicine, P.A.

We have used Aprima since 2011. We moved from paper to electronic format using a staged process that I spearheaded as project manager. In November 2011, we implemented the PM system. In February 2012, we moved. I became Aprima PRM 2011 certified and began training physicians in May for a July and August implementation. I met with each of the physicians who were participating in the first of the three waves of go-lives beginning in May and started exposing them to the product. I began meeting with the second wave physicians in June. By July, three physicians were already using Aprima, even though their official Go Live date hadn't arrived. Five physicians were using it by the end of July. We ran a part-electronic/part-paper schedule, which we ramped up as the physicians felt comfortable. It took six months before all of our physicians were 100% electronic.
While the process of converting was difficult, we had almost no loss of patient volume. We did not cancel appointments or block off vast swaths of the schedule due to the implementation. The software was relatively easy to pick up for our physicians once it was configured administratively and once the physicians and staff became accustomed to the program's layout. Customer support has been pretty good and has only gotten better since we began with them. There were a lot of crashes early on, but those have been 99% fixed. We have submitted dozens of tickets and almost all of them were completely resolved within 24-48 business hours. Any emergencies were handled within a couple hours. If you do have a more complex issue that has to be passed on to a developer, though, you may be waiting.
We've actually seen an improvement in our patient flow and our ability to measure the practice's performance has vastly improved. We now have a number of fixed quantitative measures that we can follow for clinical, financial, and operational performance such as no show %, revenue per procedure, E&M coding averages, lab/task/phone message completion rates, etc. which we can map by provider, site, CPT, date, or whatever other dimension we wish. It's really crazy how flexible reporting can be with 3rd party software. I estimated the number of linear inches for a file rack for our existing chart storage before we moved them to their new home in the new medical records suite by retrieving the first letter of the last name of each patient that was seen since Aprima began and dividing it by the total number of patients, then multiplying it by the number of available inches to get the amount that should be allocated to the A's, B's, C's, etc.
We were able to reduce the medical records department from 4.6 FTE employees to 3.25 FTE employees. Our clinic is now distributed in separate offices. We were able to move our business office outside of the clinic into another suite in the building and our medical records department was moved out as well. This was not possible without Aprima. This made room for an additional physician who we onboarded just two months ago, and it positions us to expand even more. Our no-show rate has reduced from 4.5% in May 2012 to 0.9% in October 2013 due to appointment confirmation e-mails, calls, and text messages that were not possible before our conversion. We are saving thousands on paper, folders, inserts, envelopes, postage, and other materials. We have begun tapering off our off-site storage, which is a $1,000/month expense that will be reducing by $200/month every year for the next 5 years. Patients love being able to log on to our patient portal to look at their lab results, which has saved our staff from having to call or mail results when patient labs are normal.
Our physicians are seeing more patients per day on average than they ever have before. We are on our way to our highest-ever year when judged by total revenue. The physicians love being able to go home and remote into the office to do work. Our physicians are generally happier and more relaxed than they were when we were using paper. Staff are happier and more relaxed. The administrator and HR manager is able to focus on side projects because there are fewer conflicts.
All-in-all, Aprima has been a huge success, although it could use a number of improvements to speed and the overall design of the product.

Charge: Facebook Pages Spew Blood Libels, Attack Jews and Aborigines, Mock Anne Frank
Latest update: December 11th, 2012
There is no scientific equation to determine what is hatred, but a Facebook picture of a smiling Anne Frank surrounded by the caption, "What's that burning? Oh it's my family" is an easy one. So is a Facebook picture of a baby on a scale emblazoned with a Jewish Star, where the bottom of the scale is a meat grinder with raw ground meat (presumably, a baby's) oozing out.
Is there any doubt in your mind that those images constitute hate speech (one of the official categories for removal under Facebook's Terms of Service) and should be removed from Facebook? That was the basis for the complaints filed by the Online Hate Prevention Institute last month.
Facebook disagreed. The pictures remain up.
The Australia-based Online Hate Prevention Institute was launched in January this year. Its mission is to help prevent, or at least control, abusive social media behavior which constitute racism or other forms of hate speech.
Dr. Andre Oboler is the chief executive officer of OHPI. Oboler has been involved in analyzing and monitoring online hate for five years. In the time that he's been monitoring Facebook, the response time has improved, but the results have not.
"OHPI submitted documented complaints following the Facebook complaint protocol, and, true to their word, we received a response within 48 hours," Oboler told The Jewish Press. "It's quite amazing; the Facebook reviewers took down the images, reviewed them, and put them back up with a 'no action' decision within 48 hours."
Oboler waited until the Facebook reviews were completed before posting OHPI's findings. The methodical process and the constructive suggestions OHPI made could be held up as models of what to do when confronted with hate speech on social media, except that at this point the diligence does not appear to have paid off.
The suggestions included:
1. Remove the offensive images
2. Close the offensive pages that are posting them
3. Permanently close the accounts of the users abusing Facebook to spread such hate
4. Review which staff assessed these examples and audit their decision making
5. Take active measures to improve staff training to avoid similar poor decisions in the future
6. To institute an appeal process as part of the online reporting system
7. To institute systematic random checks of rejected complaints
At this point, Oboler is hopeful that if sufficient attention is generated, Facebook will feel compelled to re-examine their procedures. What he would like is for there to be a "systematic change to prevent online-generated harm in the future."
One way to generate that attention, Oboler suggested, is for Facebook users who think the images described above are offensive to go to the Facebook OPHI site and "Like" it. Another is to sign the OPHI petition urging Facebook to stop allowing hate speech on its site.
OHPI is also critical of the way in which Facebook has chosen to respond to complaints about offensive Facebook Pages. Its standard response to pages that are entirely devoted to offensive material is to insert the bracketed phrase: [Controversial Humor] before the rest of the page title. That phrase acts kind of like the warning label posted on cigarette packages. The page remains vile, just as the cigarettes remain carcinogenic, but by slapping on the Controversial Humor disclaimer, it appears Facebook is seeking immunity from liability. Or at least from responsibility.
OPHI discovered this Facebook method when it was engaged in an effort to eradicate hate-filled Facebook Pages dedicated to brutalizing Aborigines. Remember – OPHI is based in Australia. After engaging in some promising responses to OPHI's complaints, Facebook ultimately responded that "While we do not remove this type of content from the site entirely unless it violates our Statement of Rights and Responsibilities, out of respect for local laws, we have restricted access to this content in Australia via Facebook."
But that just doesn't make any sense, according to Oboler. As he pointed out, "Facebook's 'Statement of Rights and Responsibilities' says at 3.7 'You will not post content that: is hate speech'. We find it very hard to understand how Facebook can look at this material and decide it is not hate speech. Ultimately, this is where Facebook is going wrong."
Is there anything Facebook has determined to be sufficiently offensive that it will be removed? Yes, but not much.
Oboler explained that thus far the only hate speech kind of content that has been permanently removed by Facebook is when it is directed against an individual, rather than at an entire race or religion. In other words, the same problem that hate speech codes on campuses have encountered, plagues complainants hoping for a non-offensive inline community. Unless the nastiness is directed at a specific person, the default Facebook position is to not remove it.
But really, is it possible for anyone to consider the words accompanying the Anne Frank picture anything but impermissible hate speech? Facebook apparently does and will continue to do so unless enough people tell them they are wrong.

She went dancing to feel their eyes on her.
Sure, it wasn't the only reason. The club had cheap drinks and the music was decent -- hard, fast, and throbbing, the kind of music she could move to all night without stopping. The bouncers were nice enough; they never made her wait to get inside, especially not after her skirts got shorter and her necklines lower. She didn't socialize much when she arrived. Some nights she didn't speak to anyone at all. Sonya had one purpose and one purpose only for coming to this club every Saturday night, and that was the men whose eyes followed her every move.
Their eyes studied her like a book. Even when she didn't look at them, she could feel them moving over her body. Their eyes caressed every inch of her. Their eyes undressed her. Right there on the dancefloor, the countless eyes seemed to fuck her, penetrating her through the flashing lights and the slutty dresses she wore to entice them.

Tiger Pub Fire
Bodies in Phuket blaze to be sent to Bangkok for identification
Police on Friday called on Phuket hotel and bungalow operators to provide information on any missing guests to help in identifying victims of the discotheque fire in Phuket.
Deutsche Presse-Agentur quoted Phuket police chief Maj Gen Chainasit Wattanawalangkul as saying it was believed three of the dead were foreigners and one was Thai.
However, he was waiting for the autopsy to confirm the identities of the victims, whose bodies were badly burnt. The fire broke out on the second floor of the popular Tiger Discotheque Bar on Patong Beach at 4.40am. It was brought under control by 6 am.
Patong Hospital spokeswoman Donraya Buklarak said it was not possible to identify the dead because the bodies were too badly burned. "We will have to send them to Bangkok for autopsy," she said.
Eleven people were admitted to the hospital with two listed in a critical condition. These have been identified as French national Benjamin Tallanotte, 30, and a Thai woman.
Nine others, including three French citizens, were allowed to leave hospital after receiving treatment for minor burns. It was unclear why the nightclub was still operating after the legal closing time of 1am.
"We had stopped services at the club, but there were still people there sitting around drinking," Tiger Disco Bar manager ThamrongsakBoonlak said.
He said the club would pay full compensation for all victims of the fire.
The Tiger Disco Bar is one of the biggest nightclubs in Phuket, which is located 700 kilometres south-west of Bangkok. It has a dancefloor on the second floor and several bars on the ground floor.

What is a good BHP clone? Is it worth the money or should I just pony up for the real deal?

Get a real one!
Sgt. Stiglitz
September 28, 2009, 07:35 PM
Get both............I have a Silver Chrome HP and an FEG CLONE that I Duracoated.....:neener:
September 28, 2009, 07:39 PM
If you ask a question like that, you're going to be told to get a "real" HP. So, if you're trying to justify the extra dough in order to get the real deal, you'll get the go-ahead here.
However, I'm perfectly content with the CD HP I paid $289 for NIB.
September 28, 2009, 07:45 PM
What is a good BHP clone?
Right now, no true High Power clones are being imported into the US. FEG (a Hungarian company if memory serves) made a pretty good one, which Charles Daly imported under its own label, but then FEG went belly up. FM (not FN) of Argentina started out making High Powers under license from FN, then cut the string and started pumping them out under their own label. For a while their metallurgy was not up to snuff, but from what I have read they fixed that problem. However, they are no longer marketing their HP clone in the US -- currency exchange problems from what I gathered. There is a company in Bulgaria that makes an 'improved' near copy, but I suspect parts for it would be hard to get. It is not a clone, more like a kissing cousin.
If you can find a good used Browning or FN High Power that is what you should get. I recently saw a new BHP with a cammy finish. I almost threw up. When I came back to the store three days later it was gone. Its price as I recall was almost nine hundred dollars. That same store has had a used FEG clone for sale at around $600 for several months now.
Cordially, Jack
September 28, 2009, 08:06 PM
Ain't nothing like the real thing....
September 28, 2009, 08:07 PM
My CD is a great gun. The finish may not have quite the luster of a Browning. But I have no complaints. Accurate reliable ad fun to shoot and was about half the price. I would get it agian.
September 28, 2009, 08:13 PM
I purchased an older FEG in just OK shape for a fairly decent price. It shoots very well, and has yet to jam after probably 700 rounds or so. I originally purchased this pistol because I had always been curious about the Hi Power pistol. This pistol has performed so well that I went out and bought a cylinder and slide hammer and sear, safety, and some Narvidex grips. It is well on its way to being a favorite of mine.
So the clones can be quite good in my less than expert opinion. However, eventually I would like to get an actual Browning, but for now I am quite content.
Here is before and after of my FEG clone.
September 28, 2009, 08:14 PM
Real thing ... get the real thing.
The FN Argentinean HP is rather not as nice as the Belgian one.
Fired both.
I asked for my Ballester Molina back while in the service.
September 28, 2009, 11:08 PM
What exactly constitutes a "clone" HP? The pistol was originally produced by FN of Belgium and after they were conquered by the Nazis during WWII the pistol was produced in large numbers by John Inglis and Company in Canada. Are these Canadian pistols clones as well?
September 28, 2009, 11:19 PM
I have an FM (Argentine) surplus Hi-Power. It's true that the finish isn't as nice as a real BHP, but it's very reliable, accurate enough (about as good as my Sig P6) and was only about $300 when I bought it.
It's now wearing a Cylinder and Slide safety, sear, and hammer, and a set of Novak 3-dot sights, and I couldn't be happier.
September 28, 2009, 11:41 PM
I have two Browning HPs in a local shop on consignment - the last of the Brownings in my collection. I still have several FEG clones, and they're keepers. Part of this approach is financial - the BHPs are worth a lot more on the market than the FEGs - but it's also driven by the fact that I've had no issues with the FEGs and think well of them.
Some folk have reported issues with the FEGs shooting loose in less than five thousand rounds. On the other hand, the modern Browning lock work is reputedly not good for more than a couple/three thousand rounds either. My experience has been that my all-Belgian BHP loosened up faster than my NIB FEG did, shooting the same ammo and same round count.
Clearly, YMMV. But I've had good success with the clones, in non-critical roles, and so them's the ones that I'm keeping.
September 29, 2009, 12:52 AM
I have 3 Brownings, and one Argentine. The Argentine does not have the fit and finish of the Brownings, but it is accurate and reliable.
I'd have a hard time giving any of them up.
September 29, 2009, 12:56 AM
Funny you should mention this topic.
I picked up an FN made BHP that was made for the Argentine Police. Yes, FN made, before the Argentinians started making their own. I snagged it for $500 last Friday.
September 29, 2009, 02:40 AM
I got a NIB Feg PJK 9 Hp years ago. Its one accurate pistol. Its kind of rough on the edges esp the trigger. But lockup is tight and makes good groups. I used in my CHL qualifications and was amazed of its accuracy. The instructor even asked me what and where its made. It gobbles just about any ammo FMJS or HPs.
September 29, 2009, 05:01 AM
I have an Arcus 94 which is a BHP clone. I love it. Its accurate, reliable, and looks pretty decent to. Its somewhere around 5k rounds through it.
I bought it about 6 years ago for less than $200 new.
September 29, 2009, 05:44 AM
I tend to think the FM HPs are better than the FEGs. Not by much though. In the end I have owned two different Brownings and shot a slew of clones and was impressed by all of them. One that doesnt impress me at all is the FEG P9R. That S&W 59 grafted to the HP slide is just gross. It shot excellent though.
September 29, 2009, 09:00 AM
I have a real BHP and an FEG clone. The BHP sits in the safe the FEG clone is my wife's carry gun. If you want to shoot and carry it, FEG, if you want a safe queen get the BHP.
I paid $600+ for the LNIB BHP 5 yrs. ago. I paid a little over $250 for the FEG in good condition. The FEG shoots and functions just fine.
2nd 41
September 29, 2009, 04:52 PM
Buy the real deal. They are great pistols and ALL quality. However I do not enjoy shooting mine at the range. It is not a target pistol.
September 29, 2009, 05:47 PM
I have a pristine Browning HP that is a safe queen. I have two FEG PJK-9HPs & they are great shooters, very accurate. I've owned one over 20 yrs. & no problems. The fit & finish on that FEG is pretty much the same as my Belgium Browning, except for the adjustable rear sight on the Browning. The other FEG I bought used on GB for $250, put another $50 into a good cleaning & replacement of a trigger spring at a local gunsmith & now its flawless. It has a parkerized finished & the Pachmayr grips to make it fun to shoot.
September 29, 2009, 07:01 PM
They are all good guns some may have problems but nothing that can not be fixed. The main issue I have with some of them is the absence of a firing pin block. People can argue the virtue or lack of but that little safety feature I will not go without in a carry gun.
September 29, 2009, 07:04 PM
My box stock MK III Browning Hi Power is my most accurate centerfire pistol.
September 29, 2009, 08:06 PM
Tough to beat the real deal.
I think if you buy a clone, so to speak, you'll still have the desire for the real one.
Here's an ATF pic with one of mine.
And a separate pic of the same gun.

Defense Grid: The Awakening Cheats
overall was very suprised to see updated trainers initially for the portal 2 arg such as amnesia, super meat boy, defense grid, killing floor, etc.
i hope to see continued attention, thought, or at least consideration for these titles while the portal 2 arg is underway.
thanks for your time and the effort that has already went into all of the games but especially the potato pack games.
[Edited by Zetterbergin, 4/12/2011 6:13:17 PM]
im starting to feel the rage of these small updates.
sigh the killing floor trainer worked beautifully but by the time i got to defense grid there was alreayd a 7mb patch that appears to have broken the trainer.
im starting to feel the rage of these small updates.
That patch was forthcoming though. Something about it being to fix a bug relating to the ARG.

Below is the text of a letter that we can give you if you are asked to supply a letter from your GP, please enquire at Reception for a copy.
In this Practice, we receive frequent requests for medical information by numerous organisations.
Often this is reasonable. However we strongly object to the culture of "Get a letter from your doctor."
Often patients themselves are perfectly able to provide a description of their medical problems and how these affect their needs. This has the advantage that the information is given to the organisation in lay terms which should be easily understood by the non‑medical staff who assess their relative priority. There should only rarely be a need to approach the GP for a more detailed report.
The NHS does not fund medical reports by GPs, and GPs will charge a fee for such reports, as is done for any other private medical report. However, GPs have no wish to provide reports where the information can be easily obtained from the individual themselves. Patients should not have to pay for reports to organisations when they can, in most cases, provide the necessary information themselves.
The routine request for "Get a letter from your doctor" simply adds to the ever increasing burden of paperwork which detracts from the time GPs can spend with their patients.
An efficient system of self reporting of medical and functional problems will reduce the administrative burden on the NHS and allow an equally effective prioritisation of needs for those organisations that request this information.
The GPs in this practice will therefore not routinely provide third-parties with medical reports or letters, which are requested via our patients.
However, if the organisation that has requested "Get a letter from your doctor", would like to write to us directly we will respond quickly.
Please give this letter to the person/organisation that has asked you to "Get a letter from your doctor", and instruct them:To write directly to us, requesting the information they require. Why they require it. And to whom we should reply.
They will need to enclose a mandate which is signed by yourself, where you give them permission to receive medical information about you.
They will be expected to pay a fee for this report, and we will send them an invoice.

When Bruce Springsteen performed at the Pepsi Center on Thursday night, the best seat in the house belonged to a small girl.

A Chinese national who works for China Southern Airlines was fined $700 on Thursday for inappropriately using his airport pass to enter a restricted area.
Wang Nan, 45, an airline maintenance engineer, admitted to using an airport seasonal pass at the aerobridge of a gatehold room at Terminal 1, Changi Airport, for reasons outside official duties or business in February.
The court heard that at about 10.30pm on Feb 27, Wang showed his pass to a Certis Cisco auxiliary policeman to enter the aerobridge. Ten minutes later, he was seen pulling a trolley bag and walking alongside two female Chinese.
On seeing this, the auxiliary policeman felt something was amiss. He went immediately to the arrival belt where the passengers arriving from Guangzhou had to collect their check-in luggage.
He stopped Wang from leaving and discovered that Wang had used his airport pass to gain access to the aerobridge, a restricted area, via the departure staff entrance to receive his wife and daughter. Wang was detained.
Pleading for leniency, Wang said he was remorseful and would not do it again. He could have been fined up to $1,000 and/or jailed for up to two years.


text: my husband and I had been wondering how to do the same thing. Our bathroom on the first level of our home has no vent and so unless we leave the window open the bathroom gets no ventilation. How would we go about adding a vent in a middle room of our house? I would hate to send the vent up through the floor of the room above it and up through the attic and out the roof, could we cut a hole through the wall of the bathroom and through the brick and place the vent on the wall of the house. It would look weird but I, myself can't think of any other way. Anyone have any suggestions for this?
