GE TFM-50-CV is a 50 Gallon per Day Encapsulated Reverse Osmosis Membrane which includes a Control Valve and Flow Control.The GE TFM-50-CV has color-coded ports and quick connect fittings for easy connection to an existing system.The GE TFM-50-CV has a built-in permeate check-valve which eliminates the need for additional fittings and reduces the potential for water leaks within the system.Unlike conventional filtration which can be maintenance-intensive, membrane-separation technology uses crossflow filtration where impurities are captured on the membrane and are constantly swept away by the concentrate stream. Thus the membrane surface is continuously cleaned, which prolongs the life of the reverse osmosis membrane and reduces maintenance costs.The spiral-wound membrane element is constructed of one or more membrane envelopes which are wound around a perforated central tube. The permeate water passes through the membrane into the envelope and spirals inward to the central tube.The GE TFM-50-CV is a Thin-Film Membrane.The GE Desal TFM-50-CV RO Membrane is not chlorine resistant. A chlorine taste and odor reduction water filter must be used before the RO membrane if chlorine is present in your water supply.Specs:50 Gallons Per Day.ANSI/NSF 58 listed for material safety and structural integrity.ANSI/NSF 58 listed for performance.Materials: Polypropylene.Dimensions: 2.5" W X 13.25" L.Maximum Temperature: 120�F (48.9� C).Maximum Pressure: 90 psi (6.2 bar).Feed, Concentrate and Product Water Connections: 1/4-inch Quick Connect.Average NaCl Rejection (%): 98.0.Permeate Flow gpd @ 65 psi: 50.

Like anybody really listens to Obama anymore….
We need a real leader.
Is anyone aware the memorials were/are opened for the vets, the park services did not open the memorials for the general public. The vets were never delayed in getting into any of the war memorials.
The Republicans used the WWII vets as a hypocritical propaganda photo op: "See what those NASTY Democrats have done? Lucky for you we have political patriots like us to look after you. See? We passed the hat amongst ourselves to keep this park open."
Not to open too big of a can of worms, but here goes. Republicans are 100% responsible for the shutdown because the won't provide a clean budget after wasting six months that could have been used for negotiations. Instead they are using extortion to try to shutdown a law that has passed congress, is supported by most Americans (since Obama won the election) and was upheld by the Supreme Court in the form it is in today.
As a result of their actions, parks and memorials among other things are temporarily closed.
I would expect our veterans from whatever war, where they risked their lives to defend our constitution and our laws, to uphold our laws however inconvenient including against trespassing.
So get a grip all you trolls and do the right thing.
These "low information" voters that keep getting insulted…
They certainly have information on how much respect the republicans have for them.
You would think the republicans would have gotten the information from the last election,"there are more of the insultees than insultors.
Low information is not letting this sink in.
seriously? you're putting obama as the point man for the closure. you have no shame, Mr. Breen.
Hypocrite "TEApots" and Republicans have under-funded the Park Service for several decades now, and the first thing they complain about when THEY shut down the government is the NPS??? I agree there probably wasn't a necessity to barricade these open air memorials, but it IS a way to make the public aware of just what Boehner and the boneheads actually think of our veterans, as when they continue to refuse fully adequate budgets to VA!!
Republicans voted for the shutdown. Michelle Bachmann says the Republican House got just what they wanted!
Baloney! This is what she had to say about this topic 57sec. into the short news clip.
You ROCK GIRL!
Baloney! This is what she had to say about this topic 57sec. into the short news clip.
She must have had someone remind her of the talking points. The original quote is verbatim.
Veterans can't visit a memorial because the GOP refused to allow Boehner to put a bill that does not defund the ACA up for a vote. The bill will eventually pass, minus the ACA defunding/delay language.
If you want to do something about the ACA, you need to win majorities in both Houses of Congress.
There is only one reason that sidewalk was blocked. To inflict as much inconvenience as possible against the people that would want to use it. In these parts we refer to such actions as "chickensh___" Merely my personal opinion.
Why on earth is Obama the one stopping them? Oh, because the Republicans only meant to inconvenience women and children. They only wanted to shut down the part of government that nobody would notice. They only wanted to destroy the country that these men fought and died to save.
Anyone care to defend the shutdown of The Claude Moore Colonial Farm, in McLean, Virginia?
National Park Service Closes Self-Sustaining Colonial Farm It Hasn't Supported Since 1980
Chickenshi_ politics at it's best. Just wanting to screw the people. No other reason.
MStevenson58 said, about 22 hours ago:Veterans are extraordinary people.
Obama is below average

Remember yesterday, when I said that you can all stop freaking out about those 100 million "hacked" Facebook profiles? Well, I wasn't wrong, but the number of major corporations who have been shown to have downloaded that data is big and scary enough to be slightly worrisome.
The data collected was public, of course—all of these corporations could have just found this data on Google. But after white hat hacker (the good kind, if your definition of "good" is malleable) Ron Bowles collected all of this public data and smushed it into one massive file, it may have sparked an interest that wouldn't have existed otherwise. Sure, these companies could have found this data elsewhere, at any time—but they likely didn't. Public information on a Facebook page is still public, and public means your friends as well as sort of scary corporations like Halliburton, Boeing, and Lockheed Martin have access to it.
A Gizmodo reader found that software called Peer Block (as well as others, but that's the one he used) can find the IP of any other user downloading that file. It also identifies the source of that IP, often an entity like a company, college, or other organization. So he looked through the list and picked out some of the ones that popped out at him.
Of course, we should note that just because an IP address associated with a company downloaded this file, it doesn't mean that that company requested the file be downloaded, or is even aware that it was. A single Halliburton employee might've read Fast Company and downloaded the torrent file at work to see what the hubbub is about, and bam, now Halliburton's on the list. Also, some of these organizations, like the BBC, Viacom, Time Warner, and Turner, have news branches, which would be a logical and forgiveable reason to download the file.
Without further ado, the list. The linked names are companies on our Most Innovative Companies list.

By Clarence Plank: PNT staff writer
Elida Fire Chief Adam Anthony is remembered as many things. But perhaps most of all, as a man who cared about others and the community he called home.
Anthony, 45, died from an apparent heart attack Friday while hunting elk near Ruidoso.
Anthony grew up in Elida. He was a farmer, firefighter, and a friend to many. He was a youth minister, an adventurer and avid outdoorsman.
Chad Hatcher said Anthony made a difference in everybody's life. They had known each other for 18 years and were good friends.
Hatcher recalled the two of them going to Arizona to compete in a gold mining contest together. Anthony had mined gold as a young man in Alaska — one of his many adventures that also included taking an Elida 4-H group to the Caribbean and trips of his own to New Zealand and Australia.
"It was something we did for fun, sort of like a vacation deal one year," Hatcher said. "It was like a little competition they had out there every year. Basically, who can move rocks the fastest, drill holes, then who can pan for gold. It was kind of a fun deal."
Region III Emergency Management Service director John Hatcher said there's not one fireman who served beside Anthony who doesn't have a story about him.
Gary Rains said Anthony was the reason he became an emergency medical technician and Portales firefighter. Rains had all but given up but Anthony urged him to keep trying.
"He cared about everybody and it didn't matter if he knew you or didn't know you," Rains said. "He cared. He would do anything for you. I don't know how many people that I've seen break down in Elida…he had no clue who they were. But he would stop and fix 'em. He would stop and go get parts for their vehicles in town."
A funeral with firefighter's honors is set for 10 a.m. Wednesday at the Elida High School Gymnasium.

Agneepath's boldness a victory for Bollywood
Let's get this out of the way– yes, Agneepath is yet another remake of an Amitabh Bachchan film. It is a film that didn't receive the mainstream success many of Amitabh Bachchan's films were famous for. Instead, it reached a status more familiar with Amol Palekar's films– it became a cult classic.
Karan Johar, whose father produced the original Agneepath in 1990, said that his goal was to remake this film and give the story the limelight it deserved. Meaning—he didn't want a cult classic, he wanted a box office hit. I am not against remakes, but when I heard of Johar's hand in the film, I got a bit nervous. The filmmaker usually represents the Bollywood that I think audiences have, or should, outgrow– the glossy over-the-top melodramas. Aside from Johar's few attempts at supporting fresh, innovative film like Wake up Sid, I didn't have much faith in the filmmaker—I didn't believe he would be able to capture the darkness that a film like Agneepath demanded. In this case, I am glad I was wrong.

Tanu Weds Manu Returns Agneepath worked for me. Yes, it was an all-out Bollywood film. It had the drama, the love story, the songs, the villains, the very attractive actor and actress. And yes, it is impossible for the film to live up to one of Amitabh's greatest performances as Vijay Chauhan. But the film worked, and here is why.
The creators of this film took a really bold step in avoiding copying the movie frame by frame. They also avoided doing what Farhan Akthar did with another Bachchan remake, Don, where the classic film was taken and made modern and slick. Agneepath was actually the opposite– the film was more authentic, more grim, and more real than the original– even more than most Bollywood films.
The 1990 Agneepath did break a lot of barriers, and it may have been the reason the movie failed at that time. It was a time in Bollywood where Madhuri Dixit was on the rise, where feel-good family dramas like Maine Pyar Kiya and Mr. India were attracting mass audiences. But it still remained within the industry's parameters—the film didn't try to get too dark, too real.
The strength of the original Agneepath was the dialogue story, and more than that, the delivery. Few can match the style, mannerisms and acting of Bachchan's Vijay Chauhan. There also wasn't a ridiculously awesome scene where Bachchan randomly splashes out of the ocean. Hrithik Roshan and the filmmakers were smart in avoiding any attempts of replicating that. They put their energy in the script– and that was the smartest thing they did.
The film plays out like a Shakespearean tragedy– a son watches his self-respecting idealist father, who wanted to open a salt factory and make the community more educated and self-sufficient, murdered by the people from that village for a crime he did not commit. He was framed by a man, Kancha, who also wanted to open a factory, but wanted to produce cocaine.
This son grows up to be Vijay Chauhan. From an early age, Vijay embarks on a path to regain the village he and his family were forced to leave. His goal wasn't to get rid of the evil around him (which there was plenty of– he actually works for an evil underwold gangster, Rauf Lala). Vijay had a less-than-noble desire to get his village back, a village that was ripe with his father's memories. Vijay's mother saw the dangerous road her son had chosen, and she leaves with her young daughter and asks Vijay to keep his distance.
Today's Agneepath has something to offer that the original didn't. The movie wasn't afraid to go places Bollywood has avoided. Rishi Kapoor's commanding performance as Rauf Lala, an underworld don, showed his character in the business of selling young girls– a concept rarely shown in Bollywood, yet one that is a reality in India. The original rape scene in which the protagonist's father is seen with a prostitute is changed to a young girl with a leg brace, who is raped and killed. The film freely showed prostitutes, transvestites, and both in a positive light.
Then, there is Kancha. The 2012 chief antagonist was much creepier, deranged, and more psychotic than the original. The contrast from the 1990 Danny Denzongpa's Kancha was wonderful—Sanjay Dutt's Kancha wasn't an aviator-clad white suit-wearing villian, but rather a scary hairless man who couldn't stand the sight of himself. He wasn't suave, he wasn't handsome– he was pure evil.
My favorite aspect of the script is the nuances of Vijay's character. Is he good? Or not? On the one hand, he kills ruthlessly to gain his village back. He does anything in the name of gaining Mandwa– even takes part in an underworld lord's evil doings for several years. On the other, he risks everything for a cop, a cop who would arrest him if he had the proof. But Vijay choose to protect him—the policeman's self-respecting and moral ways remind him of his own father.
In Bollywood, films are usually black and white– there isn't much room for a gray area. That is probably the reason why the original Agneepath failed at the box office, but nevertheless gained cult status. In the remake, the filmmakers didn't shy away from exploring territory that is more or less uncharted in the Hindi film industry. Bollywood has often been criticized of avoiding the "other" India. In Agneepath, here it was, in a high-budget star-studded motion picture.
The performances were noteworthy, the songs were authentic (created by local Marathi musicians), but there were still some over-the-top moments, too many unnecessary subplots, and the film could have been about an hour shorter. Nevertheless– it went where few mainstream Bollywood films go. It had a protagonist who was angry, lost, maybe mistaken– not your typical Bollywood golden boy. It was a film that challenged the Hindi film industry's precious image of India, and it still provided entertaining, yet intense cinema.
If the filmmakers made the film with a lower budget, less drama, fewer songs, no Katrina Kaif item number—it would have made for great cinema. But this is Bollywood, and this is also still a film produced by Karan Johar. With all that in mind, I commend the filmmakers for avoiding the fluffy, safe route and taking a risk. And for that, Agneepath is a good step for Bollywood.

Is China dictating Europe's climate policy?
The EU's decision to 'stop the clock' on including emissions from intercontinental flights in its Emissions Trading Scheme appears to have been influenced by Chinese threats to cancel orders for new planes from Airbus. A letter from the president of the French aircraft maker to China's leading aviation official – seen by Reuters – says Airbus played an influential role in persuading the EU to give the world's governments another year to reach agreement on how to tackle carbon emissions from air transport. T&E says European governments have effectively given China 'a veto over European policy'.

Frequently Asked Questions
Mold and You:
Mold and Your Bed:
Mold and Your Sleep Number Bed:
Mold and You
Q: What is mold?
A. First, it's important to know that mold growth in mattresses is rare. Mold is fungi that occur in nature in large quantities and reproduce by releasing spores into the air, which then settle on surfaces. If mold spores settle on organic or contaminated surfaces when other conditions of temperature, humidity, shade or darkness, and oxygen supply are conducive, they germinate and develop new colonies of mold.
Source: "Controlling Mold Growth In The Home," The Near State, Kansas State University Agriculture Experiment Station and Corporative Extension Service.
Q: Is mold dangerous? What are the major health concerns?
A: Select Comfort® has consulted with experts who have advised that common household mold does not create any serious health concerns, particularly at the levels that might be found in the average mattress product. However, for some people, allergic reactions to mold can be serious.
What makes SleepNumber® beds a good choice for allergy sufferers is the zip-open design. This allows owners to easily open and study the inside of the mattress, and vacuum inside their bed on a regular basis, if they so choose.
According to Dr. William Schoenwetter from the University of Minnesota School of Medicine, "All of us, everyday, co-exist with mold and have few problems. It would take many exposures over long periods of time to become sensitized or allergic to mold. The number-one way to control mold contained in the environment is to control humidity."
Q: Are certain geographic areas more susceptible to mold?
A. Common household mold is more likely to be found in relatively humid climates or in homes with little circulation.
Mold and Your Bed
Q: What conditions need to be present for mold to grow in a mattress?
A. First, it's important to know that mold growth in mattresses is rare. Mold can gather in all types and brands of pillows, bedding and mattresses, under very specific conditions. Again, mold formation in bedding is uncommon, but it can be encouraged by an accumulation of moisture released by the body into the mattress as well as other factors.
Q: How can someone tell if mold is growing in their mattress?
A. Usually, the first evidence of mold is a musty odor. Mold spores are too small to see, however, colonies of mold growth can be seen on damp and musty-smelling innards of the mattress. If you own a mattress that unzips, you can inspect the inside of your mattress for mold spores as well as address the issue in the rare case that mold growth has occurred. However, if you own a traditional mattress with a cover that cannot be opened the mold may not be visible.
Q: What can consumers do to prevent mold growth in beds?
A: The following will help reduce the risk of mold growth in the home:
- The key to deterring mold growth is to control moisture in the air. Use a dehumidifier to reduce any potential for mold or mildew growth. Keep humidity levels under 50 percent.
- Avoid placing your bed on an outside wall or directly above an air conditioning or heating vent, which can cause condensation and increase the chance for mold growth in any mattress.
- Use a high-quality mattress pad to protect your mattress from moisture, particularly if you heavily perspire while sleeping.
- Wait 20-30 minutes before making your bed each morning, turning the covers back and allowing the mattress to air out for a bit.
- Vacuum the bedroom regularly, using a high-quality vacuum cleaner such as one with a HEPA® filter, one that does deep cleaning, or a central-vacuum system.
- Reduce dust mites by using allergen covers on pillows and mattresses. Wash bedding weekly in hot water (at least 130 degrees).
- Use a high-quality electronic air purifier to remove additional airborne particulates from the bedroom. (Note: Ionic air cleaners ARE NOT recommended for use with the Sleep Number® bed, as they can cause the natural rubber in the air chambers to break down over time.)
Q: Does bed construction contribute to mold growth?
A: According to experts, bed construction is not a key contributor to mold growth. Multiple variables — including indoor humidity levels and bedding care practices, among other things — are more likely catalysts for the rare occurrence of mold in a mattress.
Mold and Your Sleep Number Bed
Q: Are Sleep Number® beds more susceptible to mold than other mattresses or upholstered products?
A: There is no evidence to suggest that a Sleep Number® bed is more susceptible to mold growth than other mattresses or upholstered products. That stated, Select Comfort has always taken the issue of mold growth in mattresses very seriously. So much so that we are an industry leader in the use of antimicrobial agents to deter the growth of mold in our products.
Q: What is Select Comfort's approach to deterring the growth of mold in its products?
A: The research and development team at Select Comfort focuses on the continuous improvement of our products. So, they are constantly testing our protection measures to eliminate the risk of mold growth in our products.
Since 1996, Select Comfort has used antimicrobial foam in its beds to minimize the formation of mold. Several years ago, we worked with SANITIZED AG, a world leader in hygiene function and material protection, to reformulate our antimicrobial agents. Select Comfort has not confirmed a single case of mold growth in mattresses treated with the reformulated antimicrobial agents.
Q: What if I think I have mold in my Sleep Number® bed?
A: For those who believe they may have an issue, we stand by our product. That said, if you purchased a Sleep Number® bed after 2005, when we began employing advanced antimicrobial agents, it most likely is not mold growth. What you may be seeing is a sweat stain or filaments of the air chamber that are darker than surrounding fabric.

On our final day, Oregonian reporter Kimberly Wilson and I made a trip to the mountains outside Port-au-Prince, Haiti. It was here we met up with Joe Wilkins of Beaverton, Oregon who was in the middle of the adoption process when the earthquake struck Haiti. God's Littlest Angels orphanage was in the middle of evacuation a group of more than 80 children, including Wilkins' new son Samuel from Haiti to Miami, Florida.
It was a great way to end our coverage in Haiti. The most memorable moment of the trip for me would come from our caravan through the streets of downtown Port-au-Prince. As the as the 7 vans filled with more than 80 children rolled through town with the windows down, they were singing songs – and although they were singing in french, they were all familiar tunes. Many of the people on the streets that were standing amongst the rubble and it was a touching moment as many of them stopped and turned their heads to see where the music was coming from. It was a bit of beauty amongst massive amounts of destruction.

Not sure where I should post this, but I really need some advice please, has anyone been through, going through anything like this?
My LO who is now nearly 17 months old is suddenly refusing to eat pureed foods (I thought no problem will just give him finger foods full time), but he is so picky, he won't eat any vegetables at all and will only eat bacon and burger patties and grapes, maybe a little banana and some apple. He throws his veggies on the floor and pulls a face and shakes his head. I am worried that this diet is not balanced, he is so small still he only weighs 18lbs! Will he be alright on this diet, I keep offering all sorts of veggies and fruits but he just doesn't seem interested. What should I do.
Also, he is just so clingy to me - only wants me, crying, hanging on to my legs, wanting to come up all the time. Then when he doesn't get me he throws tantrums by throwing himself on the floor and screaming - is this normal, why is he doing this? I had to physically restrain him yesterday to put him to sleep, he screamed, kicked and hit me for 10 mins until he finally gave up to go for his nap and then he had a nice 2 hour sleep.
I wondered if we haven't been spoiling him, he had some complications after birth and needed surgery, then we found out that he had food allergies to dairy and soy. Could this be true?
So confused and frustrated. Can you advise?

The NCAA Tournament field for 2013 is announced and, in line with many expectations, Johns Hopkins' 41-year appearance streak has ended. Despite those two important facts, there's still bound to be debate about the choices the Selection Committee made. Here are some of the hot-button issues.
Biggest Snub: Bucknell
The Bison were the last team out of IL's last bracket projection, and as that prediction was 16-16 in the Tournament field, it stands to reason that the most deserving team left out was the 17th team in our projection.
The Bison finished 12-4 with an 11 RPI (ahead of Duke's 12), two Top 20 wins and a Top 10 win. Their average RPI win was pretty good. However, Bucknell's signature win — Cornell — dipped from a Top 5 win after the Big Red's Ivy League semifinal loss to Princeton, and they were replaced by Ohio State. Unfortunately for Bucknell, Loyola had a win over Ohio State that became much more valuable and likely the deciding factor in picking Loyola over Bucknell.
Biggest Surprise: Cornell On the Road
The Big Red went from a possible top-four seed heading into the weekend to outside the top eight after it. Penn State ended up as the No. 8 seed and, looking at the Nittany Lions side-by-side with Cornell, it would appear the biggest deciding factor in sending the Big Red on the road is their lack of a Top 5 win, whereas Penn State owned a win over Denver. Otherwise, Cornell had a better record, a better RPI, more quality wins and their worst loss came to a team with a better RPI.
Coach Ben DeLuca said Sunday night that while he and his team would've liked to have given their fans another chance to see them from the Crescent, they were just excited to see their name show up after disappointingly missing the tournament in 2012.
Other Surprises
North Carolina a No. 5 Seed — Definitely the seed that got the most vocal reaction on Twitter and the ESPN/IL Chat, probably because the Tar Heels are the top-ranked team, and as a result their five-seed is reminiscent of Cornell's No. 4 seed in 2007 when they were top-ranked and undefeated. NCAA Selection Committee chair Jim Siedliski said of deciding between Ohio State, North Carolina and Denver "splitting hairs," and to a degree that's true — picking between those three is about choosing between RPI, Top 5 wins vs. the number of quality wins and other small distinctions.
Siedliski said on the ESPNU Selection Show that the determining factor in the OSU/UNC choice was their best quality loss — Carolina loss to UMass, outside of the RPI Top 20, while Ohio State's worst lose was to Loyola at No. 10.
Ohio State a No. 3 Seed — The Buckeyes were a bubble-in team just a week ago. Coach Nick Myers said Sunday night that last Thursday prior to the ECAC Semifinal vs. Loyola, his team didn't know what their future held. Well, in the short-term it held two wins, an ECAC Championship, the third seed in the NCAA Tournament and a visit from Towson. The most surprising thing about Ohio State's resume is their lack of a Top 5 win, but again it appears that they only had three losses and the lowest came to Loyola — that was the deciding factor going both ways between Ohio State and North Carolina.
No. 4 Denver Hosting Albany — From a pure seeding standpoint, Albany was probably better than the fourth-worst team in the field, but again the NCAA men's lacrosse tournament isn't purely seeded. So it'd be easy to understand that the Committee flew Albany to Denver so they could bus Lehigh to Chapel Hill. But they didn't do that — it's 454 miles from Bethlehem to Denver, so both the Mountain Hawks and Great Danes are going to get on a plane. Did they choose to send Lehigh to UNC to avoid a regular season rematch as Denver played Lehigh in February? Maybe, but if that's the case, they could've sent Loyola to Carolina, Albany to Duke, Lehigh to Denver and sorted it all out. But this is the point at which the shell-game becomes migraine-inducing, and the surprise isn't as much of a surprise.
Other Snubs
Princeton — The Tigers' best claim at an at-large bid derives from their wins over Yale and Cornell, but on a night when 'worst loss' was echoed a number of times, Princeton's lost to No. 43 Dartmouth rang out as one of the worst.
St. John's — What makes the end of the Red Storm's season so troubling is that they're 2-1 vs. teams in the tournament field with wins over Notre Dame and Yale.

Engaging more than 300 healthcare facilities from Europe to participate in the testing of the WHO multimodal hand hygiene improvement strategy
Abstract number: P1104
Dziekan G., Storr J., Allegranzi B., Leotsakos A., Engineer C., Sax H., Pittet D.
Healthcare-associated infections (HAI) affect hundreds of millions of people worldwide and are a major global patient safety issue. During healthcare delivery, in most cases pathogens are transmitted by healthcare workers' hands.
Prevention of HAI is the target of the First Global Patient Safety Challenge, ``Clean Care is Safer Care'', launched in October 2005 by the WHO World Alliance for Patient Safety. WHO ``Guidelines on Hand Hygiene in Health Care (Advanced Draft)'' have been produced together with a multimodal implementation strategy to improve hand hygiene at the bedside. The strategy is currently being tested at selected hospitals within each of the six WHO regions worldwide to validate the guideline-recommendations.
Objective: To acquire feedback on the feasibility of implementing a multimodal HH improvement strategy in non-selected healthcare facilities across the socioeconomic and cultural range, including highly developed and least developed countries.
Methods: The WHO programme has set up a web-based community platform to allow every HCF in the world to register and participate as a Complementary Test Site. Registered facilities have access to a suite of 40 implementation, training and evaluation tools, including a detailed "Guide to Implementation".
Results: Within the first ten months more than 300 healthcare facilities (hospitals, ambulatory clinics, long-term care facilities) from European countries have registered either as individual healthcare settings or represented by national/sub-national coordinators. Several networks of hospitals have formed as part of national or sub-national campaigns following a pledge by the Ministry of Health to address the growing burden of HAI. In Italy 143 hospitals are engaging in the HH improvement strategy, in Switzerland 116 hospitals, in Spain and Cataluña 22 hospitals are participating. National coordinators have adapted and translated the provided material to implement the multimodal HH improvement strategy to ensure engagement and sustainable effect.
Conclusion: Political awareness and leadership can mass-mobilise healthcare facilities to engage in quality improvement strategies offered at a global level. Coordination at national or sub-national levels is needed to provide a consolidated approach to ensure sustainability.

For those of you who filed your tax credit as an amendment to your 2009 taxes. How do you check the status of your refund? Did you go to IRS website and clicked on "Check on Your Refund" ; then on "Where's My Refund"?
If so, what amount do you place in refund amount? The $8k? or what your original tax amount would have been if you had filed all at once?
Not sure if this question makes sense to anyone, but I'm just curious. I have been checking the status and can't get anywhere. so I'm wondering if it's just user error (me).
You have to call the IRS directly to get an update. I closed May 3rd, mailed off my amended return and all required paperwork on May 17th. Called on June 30th (Fresno) they said it was processed and I should have a check within 3-4 weeks and if I did not ~call back.
They give you a window of 12-16 weeks for it to process etc. but I see where some people get it in as little as 6 weeks and others still waiting 22 weeks later! GOOD LUCK on seeing your $$ FASSTTT!!
Yes, can't get update online for amended return.
I sent my amended return to IRS first week of May and just got check this week dated 7/9 (so about 10 weeks for me)
You have to call the IRS, don't use their 1-800 line listed on the website, it takes forever to get through their automated system. The number I used was 1-800-829-0582. They gave me the "12 - 16 week" spiel but I ended up getting my return in just under 7 weeks (granted I did call them once a week to check the status so that may have helped). This was through the Austin, TX IRS site.
Thank you all for your help.

Let's face it, we all know who they are.
They're the yeomen, the unsung heroes. Many times they're the guys who just fill out the roster, the 12th, 13th, 14th man. Sometimes they're the kings of the 10-day contract.
Yes, the life of a journeyman isn't exactly glamorous. Many times, it's all guts and no glory. But for some, they've made quite a career out of being traveling players who hone their skill. Some contributed key roles to championship teams, others became stars who just never found a home.
But they all served a purpose, and every single team has those guys. They're the glue that holds those teams together.
So here are the 25 best journeymen in NBA history,

As average marriage ceremonies and typical wedding traditions are falling by the wayside, engagement rings are also being updated to suit the modern day couple and bride-to-be. I know I wasn't alone in wanting something offbeat and different from the typical, solitaire diamond engagement ring (I went for a row of three emerald cut diamnds which were beautiful!). Many couples are now opting for unique, distinct styles in a variety of designs, metals, settings, and stones. Unusual gems, unconventional settings, and special cuts are just a few options that we are presented with these days. The choice is huge – eek!
There are a few cutting-edge engagement styles that are a hot commodity among current brides, including huge massive diamonds or rings with an antiquated or vintage flair – but then again isn't everything vintage nowadays? At the same time, old trends, such as the halo engagement ring, are getting some enhancements this year with an extra halo in the setting, and uncommon stones like emeralds are becoming the centerpiece of current trends in engagement rings.
Don't be overwhelmed by the abundance of styles and designs in modern rings – there is bound to be something that suits you. In addition, many jewellers allow you to design and build your own ring (in many wish I wish I'd given this a go). So whether your ring of choice is a non-traditional gem similar to those worn by celebs and royalty, or a vintage inspiration comparable to the engagement ring your grandmother received, proposing with an engagement ring with its own distinguishing flair is positive to make your future spouse go nuts – take note.
Add Some Colour to Your Diamond
Engagement rings bearing colourful gems are nothing new to the wedding ring industry, however, when notable celebrities and royalty like Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton began sporting engagement rings with colourful center-piece stones; this trend became a hit, causing couples to incorporate a significant stone in their rings of choice. Many future married couples who wish to avoid the average white diamond engagement ring and go with a colored gem that usually contains some sentimental value. If you and your partner aren't bonded by a particular gem, emeralds are a hit these days due to their attachment to prosperity and health of the couple.
Include 'Something Old' in Your Engagement Ring
Engagement rings that combine an antique setting with a contemporary design are fashionable with modern chic brides. Those brides-to-be with a more classic, elegant taste favour engagement rings with a vintage quality because of their old-school sophistication, refined beauty, and uncommon style. While some couples wish to use a family heirloom or a replica of one, many just like the classic appeal of the vintage-inspired engagement ring. Brides can even customize or build their own antique-esque engagement rings at 77 Diamonds. Try to infuse something familiar and sentimental in your personally designed ring. From family heirlooms to antique prototypes, a vintage-influenced design is the ideal way to display the uniting of the life.
Engaged readers – how did you pick your engagement ring?

Everyone's Favourite Drug Addict; Amy Winehouse, Has Been Denied A Visa To Enter The USA, Meaning She Will Not Attend This Years Grammy Awards.
Amy, who has been attending Rehab here in the UK, was hoping to go to the 50th anniversary of this years awards, where she was nominated in 6 categories! But the US government denied her the entry to the country after her much publicised drug habit & all round bad behaviour.
However, the 'Rehab' singer has now confirmed that she will be able to perform at the Grammy's via a special Video Link, which also means she will be able to give her usual thank you speech (which usually involves just saying two words - thank you).
Amy's father has also confirmed that her denied Visa has not dampened her spirits & she is making good progress in rehab sessions. I think this is a great step for Amy, although people are all to quick to make a joke of her, she is an outstanding talent & if she sorts herself out, will become a well respected, world class artist.
Everyone remembers what a mess Mary J Blige used to be, many said she would not live to be 30, but look at her right now.
Should She Be Allows A Visa?

Recently we were requested to investigate a similar attack, where possibly ATM malware had been used to empty out cash machines. We expected it to be Ploutus, however there were several controversial facts. First of all, the compromised ATMs belonged to a different model than the one we saw in the case of Ploutus. Secondly, regarding to the obtained malware sample, there were no code similarities at the binary level when we compare it with Ploutus. Moreover, the newly identified malware was not even created in the same development environment as Ploutus had been.
After doing some research, we have come to a conclusion: we were dealing with an unclassified malware family, yet unknown to the public. We decided to internally refer to it as NeoPocket, borrowing the name from a character string spotted in the binary. In the following lines, we would like to give some technical insights about the internals of this new threat, NeoPocket.
NeoPocket was developed in Visual Basic, and however we do not possess the original dropper or the installation media, most likely the infection vector origins from a USB drive and the attacker must have had physical access to the ATM machines. There are other evidences that support the theory of the usage of an external drive, such as that the threat accepts commands from an USB drive and it also always tests if the USB is available on the infected system. It also checks whether it is being launched from the root directory, only in this case it would perform installation operations.
If executed from the root directory of any drive, it popups its installation dialog, requesting an activation code to enter:
The activation code needs to be given as a response to another number (in our picture is 7600519) in order to authorize the installation. The code is generated using the current date as seed:
If the code was correct , the malware verifies the presence of a few file locations that belong to the targeted ATM software:
When all checks are OK, the malware copies itself into the ATM software's directory and creates the following files:
- Casas.txt
- devices2.ini
- devicex.ini
- borrar.exe
All relevant communication between the ATM machine and the control host is then redirected through the port number 6000, where the threat listens and acts as a malicious proxy.
After a successful installation, it displays a notifying message:
The threat also has a timer function that is called periodically to ensure automatic access to the USB drive by constantly updating the Start value of the registry key \SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\USBSTOR\
Information theft
The threat monitors windows captions looking for a specific content:
- Escriba la clave 'A'
- Escriba la clave 'B'
- Enter the key 'A'
- Enter the key 'B'
If any of the above is found, the malware activates its keylogger and the captured keystrokes then are written into two files casaA1.txt or casaB1.txt respectively (the digits in the filename may be incremental).
As mentioned earlier the malware hijacks the default TCP communication in which relies the ATM's software, by modifying its *.ini file and redirecting traffic to port 6000:
This smart move allows the attacker to carry out a Man In The Middle attack.
As a result, all the information supposed to be going directly to the ATM's software, now goes through on the malware's filter function and logged into the file Casas.txt
Here is a table summarizing the files and their purpose relating with the malware's activity:
Interaction and control
The way to interact with the malware is through the hijacked raw socket described in the previous point. It stores the data from transactions, as well as the user inputs may it come from the keyboard strokes or from touchscreen.
The malware looks for patterns within the incoming data-stream. These patterns, work as valid commands to collect information and also to trigger additional functionality
Finally, the rest of the control is performed using the USB drive.
- Physically harden the entire ATM, do not just limit to the cash safety box. The ATM's computer should be isolated as well, not allowing unauthorized access to its components, ports and slots. Periodically schedule integrity checks, especially after maintenance and routine checks have been performed.
- Consider to install additional surveillance systems like CCTV, or increment the number of them.
- Control USB and CD-ROM access at the BIOS level. Protect the BIOS with password..
- Upgrade from Windows XP to a more recent version of the operating system (or choose an alternate OS), since we all know that support for Windows XP has ended. ATMs running Windows XP Embedded (Toolkit and Runtime) may be an exception to this as there is an extended support for them, however only until 12th of January, 2016.
- Use third party solutions that provide real-time protections, such as Lookwise Device Manager for ATM

|Aaqir al'Hakam
Subject of the Satrap,
I have been known to have a good sense of when fortune lies over the horizon, and if we play our cards right, we may soon see profits such that neither you nor I have ever imagined. Wherever could such wealth have hidden where none have yet tapped it? Varisia, I tell you. Varisia.
And it just so happens that you have a special shortcut there that makes Bloodsworn Vale look like the long way from central Avistan to the ripe markets of Korvosa, Magnimar, and yes, even Riddleport. The shortcut I speak of none other than the Hao Jin Tapestry, of course—this unseemly rag allows Pathfinders to travel from the vaults of the Grand Lodge to anywhere within the pocket dimension contained inside its fibers, and from a specific location within that realm lies a stable portal to Varisia. You are a shrewd enough businessperson to see how this nearly instant travel could mean incredible profits for everyone invested in the venture, no?
Our primary and most transparent motivation in the coming months will be the establishment of formal trade relations with the cities of Varisia—especially Janderhoff, which to date deals almost exclusively with other dwarven communities and the nearby city of Korvosa. Work toward this goal openly among your allies who are not invested in this enterprise and you should draw suspicion away from our more lucrative plans. But while you venture into the wilds of Varisia, be ever watchful for new untapped resources to exploit and see to it that any competition for control of these resources are stopped—especially the Aspis Consortium, which has already taken from our grasp many resources from within the Hao Jin Tapestry.
And if during the coming year I or an associate of mine asks you to carry through the Hao Jin Tapestry a simple, nondescript bag (which may or may not hold within it more than it seems from its weight), think little of it, and know that your cut of the transaction will be paid in favors both material and intangible.
Great things lie in our futures, friend!
Trade-Prince Aaqir al'Hakam
|Toren "Stand" Still
A tall, young Ulfen man with a battle axe looks to reply to the Trade Prince. In the background a shadowy wolf creature prowls and growls.
Trade Prince Aaqir
Adventuring in Varisia will keep me close to my Northern home. I can see the benefit of instant travel through the Hao Jin. It is a powerful thing.
Trade deals will always be in the forefront of my mind and if Janderhoff is where the greatest riches lie then I take note. I think I will need to hone not just my axe, but also my diplomatic skills.
And if a bag must be carried through the tapestry, then I will carry it. My loyalty is yours while Qadira pays my coin.
I look forward to the adventure ahead.
Trade Prince Samur Scarring
|Dirk Curlyfoot
|Lyrin the Archaeologist
|Estragon al'Godot
Janderhoff? I wouldn't mind seeing a few of my western cousins. Getting the chance to crack a few Aspis heads in the process only adds to the pleasure.
Still, popping in and out of the world through that glorified carpet does give my dwarven bones a bit of a shiver. Seems to me that a nice, wide tunnel made with good old dwarven know-how would be a much safer bet.
Aren't tapestries flammable?
What happens is some clumsy half-orc comes bumbling along and knocks a candle into it?
What if a gnome explodes while standing next to the thing?
By Torag, what if a perfectly well-meaning dwarf just happens to spill a large quantity of ale on the thing? Not that I can imagine such a thing ever actually happening.
*quickly sidles out the door*

Gold can always be found in the company of dwarves even if they grasp it tightly. Count me in.
I'm none to keen on roaming the land of vampires though. The pay better be worth it.
While I am not from either of those lands I believe the land with more than its fair share of Vampires is Ustalav, not Varisia, though they both have a large population of Varisians so perhaps I am mistaken.

A tall slender man draped in black robes steps forward. His pale face is mostly hidden by a dark headdress which he keeps pulled over his mouth at all times.
"Yes, it is Ustalav that crawls with vampiric scum. I pray to the Dawnflower every day that that country may be saved from its evils." And myself from my own.
|Jimbo Juggins
Trade Prince Aaqir,
I hear the peoples voices in the streets, and in the halls of the mighty as I travel from town to town, performing for kings and commoners alike.
For, "A fool can go where wise men fear to tread, and is as welome in the courts of kings as in the gutters of the street."
There is profit in Varisia, and there is trouble afoot in Absalom.
Any assistance that I can give is yours, for the right price.
You humble servant,
Jimbo Juggins
The Juggler
Prince of Thieves and King of the Road

Media company Bloomberg has achieved a 200% return on investments in sustainability, the company says in its first publicly released sustainability report.
For every $1 spent on sustainability, Bloomberg says it saves $2 in operating costs, resulting in a net savings of $25 million since 2008.
Bloomberg began formally looking at sustainability as a business issue five years ago. Since then, the program has evolved from an employee engagement platform and highly effiective management tool, to a unique source of innovation and opportunity, the company said.
Bloomberg's efforts include leveraging its core expertise to integrate sustainability information into business decision-making for its expanding customer base. In 2008, Bloomberg began to integrate Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) data into its equity platform. And in 2009, the company acquired New Energy Finance, a provider of clean energy and carbon markets information.
The report highlights a number of achievements:
"It is not only important for companies to develop sustainability strategies, but also to report on their results," said Peter Grauer, Chairman of Bloomberg L.P. "Disclosure, transparency and access to information are critical drivers of shared knowledge surrounding sustainability. As members of the global business community, it is our responsibility to ensure this information is made available - and to elevate the conversation."
The Bloomberg Sustainability report is available at the link below.

Anastasia (also spelled Anastasiya, Annastasia, Ánnstas, Anastazia, Anastazja, Anastacia or Annastatia) is a name bestowed to women and the feminine equivalent of the male name Anastasius. The name is of Greek origin, coming from the Greek word "anastasi" (gr. "ανάσταση"), meaning "resurrection". It is a popular name in Eastern Europe, particularly in Russia, where it was the most used name for decades until 2008, when its place was taken by Sophia. It is still heavily used.
The name Anastasia was created during the early days of Christianity and was abundantly given to Greek children born in December and around Easter.[1][2] It was established as the female form of the male name Anastasius,[3][2] and has the meaning of "resurrection".[3][4] It is the name of several early saints; Anastasia of Sirmium, a central saint from the 2nd century, is commemorated during the second Mass on Christmas Day each year according to the traditional calendar of the Roman Catholic Church.[1] The name can also be written as Anastasiya, Annastasia, Anastacia or Annastatia.[4] The short form of the name;Nastya,;[3] as well as various hypocoristics: Nastenka, Nastyusha, Nastyona; Serbian, Slovenian: Nastja.
Anastasia is a very popular name for girls, especially in Europe, where most names have Christian associations.[3] Anastasia was the most popular name for girls for many years in Russia until 2008 when it was exceeded by the name Sophia.[5][6] Even so, it remains one of the top ten names for Russian girls.[5][6] It is also one of the top ten names used in Belarus,[4] Moldova,[4] Serbia,[7] Georgia,[8] and Montenegro.[9]

3. Let X be the random variable number of no shows at a flight.1. A telemarketer found that there was a 2% chance of a sale from his phone solicitations. If 1000 telephone calls were made, use the normal approximation to the binomial distribution to find the probabilities that
a) at most 20 sales were made;
b) more than 30 sales were made;
c) exactly 25 sales were made
Mr F says: The first thing you need to do is state the normal approximation to the binomial distribution. After you've done that, please state where you get stuck.
2. The lengths of pregnancies of humans are normally distributed with a mean of 268 days and a standard deviation of 15 days. If 100 women are randomly selected,
a) find the mean and standard of error of the mean of the sampling distribution of sample means;
Mr F says: Mean = 268. Standard error = sigma = 15/sqrt{100} = 1.5.
b) What happens to the mean and standard deviation of the distribution of sample means when the sample size is increased to 225?
Mr F says: Consider the formulae I used to answer a).
c) Find the probability that the mean length of pregnancy, X (x bar)for a random sample of 100 women is more than 275 days
Mr F says: Since X bar follows a normal distribution with mean and standard deviation as stated in a) you should be able to answer this after considering the replies I've given to your other posts.
3. Commonly used practice of airline companies is to sell more tickets than actual seats to a particular flight because customers who buy tickets do not always show up for the flight. Suppose that the percentage of no shows at flight time is 3%. For a particular flight with 195 seats, a total of 200 tickets were sold. What is the probability that the airline overbooked this flight?
X ~ Binomial(n = 200, p = 0.03).
Calculate Pr(X < 5).

Kaitlyn Hunt, gay Fla. teen charged for underage girlfriend
<< < (3/3)
She has been arrested again, and the plea offer has been withdrawn. Allegedly, she sent 50,000 text messages to the other teen, as well as explicit pics, when she was ordered to not have any contact. I get true love and all that, but her alleged actions make me wonder whether she doesn't care, or has a mental issue. Texting her would be the last thing I would do, even when I was 18. She is 19 now. And, if true, sending explicit pics would not be an option. I would know her parents were monitoring her texts, and that I was leaving a trail of evidence. Perhaps, she is willing to do anything for love.I know the law is messed up. A 23 year-old could have sex with a 16 year-old there, but a senior is violating the law, by having sex with a freshman. There should be laws protecting students, who are in the same school, or within 4 years of age. And, we are schizophrenic about what an adult is. 18 is an adult and you can die in war, but you're not mentally ready to drink alcohol, or rent a car. You can't go to a casino, until you're 21. Even the word eightTEEN makes you feel that you are still basically a kid. So, maybe the age you're an adult needs changed to 21. We send mixed messages. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/08/19/kaitlyn-hunt-arrested_n_3782890.html

Adventure Racing
Adventure Racing is an endurance sport where teams race from A to B across land and water. There is usually no rest during the race and the team will have to decide when (and if) they should sleep. A 24 hour race typically means there is no time for sleep, at all. Challenge your body and mind, in nature, against the elements. Women and men race side by side in the teams of four. To reach the finish line first all team members must work for each other. Reaching the finish line feeling strong while a teammate is struggling means you are not helping the team enough. This is a unique sport that inspires many to lead an active life in the outdoors.
Basic Rules
During the series, the teams will collect point based on the ranking in each race. The three best races for each team during the year is the the teams final score. The team with the highest score wins. Simple, right? There are two racing categories. The adventure category is where the points are given and this is the category for the top teams. Both male and female racers must be present in the team and during the season each team can use up to 6 members. The open category is for any formation of teams, mixed, male or female. The team must be at least two and maximum four members at each race. There is no overall standings in the open category. Both categories compete at the same time on the same course. Learn more
