OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) After 16 years in state government as a legislator and lieutenant governor, Republican Mary Fallin is heading to Washington as Oklahoma's first female member of Congress in 86 years.
Fallin, who handily defeated Dr. David Hunter in Tuesday's election, says she'll be staying close to home, however, returning on weekends to Oklahoma, where her children are in school.
"I plan on keeping my home here, traveling back and forth, staying as close to the district and my family as I possibly can," the 51-year-old state official said.
Her daughter, Christina, 19, is a sophomore at the University of Oklahoma and her 16-year-old son, Price, is in high school.
She said she will work to bring Oklahoma's conservative values to the House, which will be controlled by Democrats as the result of Tuesday's election.
Referring to the loss of more than 20 GOP seats across the country, she said: "I do think Republicans need to get back to the basics that made our party great — limited government, less taxes, controlling spending, traditional values and a strong defense."
Mary was also the first name of the first and last woman to serve in the House from Oklahoma. Mary Alice Robertson, who opposed women's suffrage, was elected in 1920 and defeated two years later.
By coincidence, Fallin said she was born in 1954, 100 year after Robertson was born.
With 100% of the vote reporting in unofficial returns, Fallin got 60% of the vote to 37% for Hunter, who was making his political debut. The rest went to Independent Matthew Horton Woodson.
The blond-haired Fallin, described by one former primary opponent as looking like a cheerleader, won the post seven-term GOP Rep. Ernest Istook is leaving after being soundly defeated in his gubernatorial race against incumbent Democrat Brad Henry.
She said she was pleased with the results of her race. "We tried to focus on the issues that we felt were important to Oklahomans and important to our nation. We ran a very clean campaign and I think it's paid off tonight."
She said it had been a tough year for Republicans across the country, partly because of the war in Iraq, "but I still believe very strongly in the values of the Republican Party."
Hunter left as chief of staff at St. Anthony Hospital in Oklahoma City to run for office. He said he planned to continue to speak out on health care issues and said he was not through with politics.
"I'm certainly going to stay in politics, at what level I'm not sure. I am learning. I will be talking to party leaders to see where I will fit in best. If it means running again for Congress, I will surely do that."
Hunter said he will continue to call for changes in the nation's health care system to guarantee that all Americans have access to medical care.
Oklahoma's four incumbent House members handily won re-election, as expected. They are Republicans John Sullivan of the 1st District, Frank Lucas of the 3rd District, Tom Cole of the 4th District and Democrat Dan Boren of the 2nd District.
Sullivan defeated Democrat Alan Gentges, an attorney, and independent Bill Wortman; Lucas defeated social services consultant Sue Barton, a Democrat; Cole toppled retired career diplomat Hal Spake, a Democrat; and Boren swept past Patrick Miller, a perennial GOP candidate.
Fallin said the 5th District, as reconfigured in 2002, was a perfect fit for her since it included Pottawatomie and Seminole Counties, areas where her family members lived and worked, plus Oklahoma City, which she represented for two terms in the state House before being elected to the first of her three terms as lieutenant governor.
Fallin's mother and father each served as Democratic mayors in Tecumseh, a Pottawatomie County town 40 miles southeast of Oklahoma City.

Scottsdale Unified School District has created a mobile training center to bring training directly to the schools and teachers. eCoach is the first of its kind in the nation.
The technology installed in SUSD's eCoach is designed to replicate what is in the classrooms, including a SMARTBoard, document camera, audio enhancement, wireless Internet access and much more. As the District's technology needs change, the eCoach will be fitted with new versions of the equipment, which will allow staff and teachers to learn about them before they are implemented in the classrooms and schools.
Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, the District's vision of creating an eCoach is now a reality through donations of equipment, support and expertise for this endeavor.
A Special Thank You to All Our Sponsors

Multi-View Scene Capture by Surfel Sampling: From Video Streams to Non-Rigid 3D Motion, Shape and Reflectance
- Cite this article as:
- Carceroni, R.L. & Kutulakos, K.N. International Journal of Computer Vision (2002) 49: 175. doi:10.1023/A:1020145606604

In this paper we study the problem of recovering the 3D shape, reflectance, and non-rigid motion properties of a dynamic 3D scene. Because these properties are completely unknown and because the scene's shape and motion may be non-smooth, our approach uses multiple views to build a piecewise-continuous geometric and radiometric representation of the scene's trace in space-time. A basic primitive of this representation is the dynamic surfel, which (1) encodes the instantaneous local shape, reflectance, and motion of a small and bounded region in the scene, and (2) enables accurate prediction of the region's dynamic appearance under known illumination conditions. We show that complete surfel-based reconstructions can be created by repeatedly applying an algorithm called Surfel Sampling that combines sampling and parameter estimation to fit a single surfel to a small, bounded region of space-time. Experimental results with the Phong reflectancemodel and complex real scenes (clothing, shiny objects, skin) illustrate our method's ability to explain pixels and pixel variations in terms of their underlying causes—shape, reflectance, motion, illumination, and visibility.

Kozhikode, Jan 24 (UNI) Formidable Mahindra United Mumbai defeated Viva Kerala 2-0 in the 13th round of the ONGC I-League at the V K Krishna Menon Indoor Stadium here today.
With this win, Mahindra United moved to fourth position, aggregating 20 points from 13 encounters while Viva remained at eighth spot with 12 points from as many outings.
Utilising a minus cross from Tabia Othallo, foreign recruit Andrews M Pomevie netted the first goal for the visitors by outwitting the rival defenders and custodian in the 47th minute.
Mohammed Rafi increased the tally to 2-0 by taking a cross from Steven Dias in the 27th minute of the second half, which was clearly dominated by the jeepmen.
Although the Kochi-based Kerala team got many chances in the first half, they failed to pierce the well-drilled defence of the Jeepmen.
Pomevie was adjuged the man of the match for his outstanding performance.
Viva will take on Churchil Brothers in its home match here on February 4.

Which revolver, handgun is right is a personal choice for all of us....... All you can do is hopefully find the weapon for you........ Good luck.........
This is a discussion on Walther PPX First Impressions within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I had the opportunity to handle a Walther PPX at a store today, I have seen and read much about it on TV and online ...
I had the opportunity to handle a Walther PPX at a store today, I have seen and read much about it on TV and online but hadn't seen one in person before. In short, I'm not impressed at all and here's why:
1) It is huge, it is a full size 9mm double stack (16+1) but compared to an equivalent G17 or M&P9 it is much larger feeling in overall dimensions and shape. It is very 'blocky' feeling, even next to a Glock. I could not possibly see carrying it concealed in anything other than a shoulder rig. How they only managed to fit a 4in barrel into something that large is beyond me.
2) The grip is terrible, both in texture and in size. It feels about as large as a G20/21 and has this weird texture that feels like soggy sandpaper. Also, there is no interchangeable backstrap, what you see is what you get. The two sales people there were one male and one female, they both agreed that it is not at all female friendly. I have fairly large hands and it even was big to me.
3) It is right handed only, no ambi anything (slide release, mag release etc.). Even for a righty like me, the slide release is very hard to get a thumb grip on.
4) The finish overall feels really cheap, almost like an airsoft gun. The polymer is very flimsy feeling and the general build quality just doesn't seem too sturdy. The magazines are plastic and feel like if you stepped on one it would crack. The price ($439) is a result of this I think.
As you can see, I was pretty underwhelmed overall with this product. I generally like Walther products and was very interested to see their entry into the full size polymer rail equipped market, but they really screwed this one. The only nice things I really can say are that there is nothing wrong with the sights (standard 3 dot) and it is pretty light. Safe to say, I won't be buying one, ever.
Which revolver, handgun is right is a personal choice for all of us....... All you can do is hopefully find the weapon for you........ Good luck.........

The PPQ M2 is their better full sized gun with a nice light trigger for competition or the range. When it comes to guns, you often do get what you pay for. So many of my new shooters buy inexpensive guns not knowing why they are inexpensive and then end up buying another inexpensive gun since they already spent a lot on their first gun and finally buy a third inexpensive gun and still are not happy and have spend much more than if they just spent a little more to begin with. I think we all have been there. I know that I have. Now I just buy Sig, HK, Ruger, S&W, and FNH. My LGS knows that I am not interested in anything else other than a special use gun like an NAA mini revolver or my new Micro Desert Eagle .380 which is so short that it fits in so many places and makes a good hideout or backup gun. Plus it is a good shooter.
I think some of the PPX shortcomings are a result of their efforts to keep the price down, their ads really stress an affordable price as a selling point. The PPQ and PPS are solid guns and well designed, but the PPX just seems like it missed the mark.
The PPX is Walther's entry level handgun and it's main selling point is its very low price for a German firearm. I think it is a great handgun for someone on a tight budget that is seeking a handgun for home defense as the design is very nice, the DAO trigger is very soft, and it's made in Germany. Obviously, if you compare it to a Sig Sauer, HK, Glock, or FNH it is not up to par, but I think it can hold its own against more affordable brands like Ruger, S&W, Kahr, Kel Tec, Taurus, etc.. Some people say they look like a Hi Point, but I think that's absolutely ridiculous. It is a beautiful, accurate and reliable handgun made by Walther in Ulm, Germany.
I have the Walther P99AS in 9mm and I can't say enough good things about Walther firearms. I just wish I could find a PPS here in Costa Rica!

My Christmas Day Adventure
Today was a Christmas Day my family won't forget for a long time! We had a great time today, heard some amazing news, and then had a bit of an adventure on the way home. The weather has been pretty cold for the last while, the county was covered in a sheet of ice but this afternoon temperatures rose slightly which was great because we were due to visit family for Christmas dinner.
My brother Donal and his wife had ice problems this morning when their car slid out of his estate. Two hours later they got underway when the roads thawed out a bit. That had worried me because there's a hill into our estate too.
After a great day with family, a delicious dinner made by my brother-in-law Chris and a visit to my own family we returned home, sharing the road with nervous drivers and reckless drivers. The journey home was uneventful but the hill into our estate proved to be troublesome. The road was covered in ice and slush and as we rounded the bend a car slid down backwards and eventually braked and turned back down. I tried to drive us up there too but the car only got so far before wheels started to spin, the car shuddered and we weren't going forward any more. Kinda scary!
I had to turn back of course, we parked further up the road where I spotted a break in the ditch. In the freezing dark I managed to get up there, and to make what is turning into a long story shorter enlisted the help of our neighbours who were in the same boat. Between us we managed to get the essential bags out of the car, I carried Adam up the road, and we took a short cut through Rosy and Con's house knocking a good 100m off our journey.
I used the light of my Nokia 5800 in video mode to light the way so I have a record of all that happened, even if it's more audio than anything else! Must have a listen tomorrow.
Anyway, I'm glad to be home, safe and sound. We'll get the car tomorrow. Thanks neighbours for your help. Nollaig Shona dhaoibh go leir!
Happy new year in 2009
Happy new year! May 2009 be even better than 2008!
PS. I shot this with my Canon 50mm 1.8 and it kicks the ass of the same image I shot with my Sigma 18-200 zoom (not surprisingly). Donations for "Donncha's fund to buy L series lenses" should be sent to ..
Christmas Day Ten Years Ago
I'll always remember Christmas Day 1998. Ten years ago on the night of Christmas Eve we returned from the Regional Hospital without our mother and my father without his wife.
I was in Kerry 2 weeks before when my father rang with the news my mother had collapsed. A massive aneurysm in her brain had burst. She spent the next 15 days in hospital, sometimes awake and able to talk, but most of the time drowsy or asleep. The day before Christmas Eve she suffered another hemorrhage. An emergency operation was carried out to insert a stint in the blood vessel and stop the bleeding but unfortunately the operation was not a success and the stint failed. Machines whirred and beeped by her bedside. She had aged so much overnight. We all said our final goodbyes.
The last conversation I remember having with her was telling her that we had decided on the Christmas gift we were going to get her. Despite her drowsy questioning I didn't tell her, because it would be a surprise for when she came home. I hold on to that memory of sitting by her bedside. I don't want to forget it.
We'll visit her grave later today. Today is a sad day for my family and I but it's also a celebration and a chance for my family to get together. We have so much to be thankful for. I know my mother would have adored Adam. Have a great day today!
Recession in Cork
The world is in recession, and it's even affected Cork. The city was busy but it's been much busier in previous years. Every second shop had a "Closing Down sale" or "50% off sale" sign. Usually you have to wait until the January sales. It's great that prices are down, but depressing what it means for the economy. I heard that many stores on North Main Street have already closed their doors.
Construction work still continues in the center of the city though. I bet the developers of those sites are not looking forward to the job of selling floor space to retailers. The Elysian, tallest building in the country, is practically empty since it was opened officially a few months ago.
Besides the maddening crowds, collectors for Share and other charities were out in force. At least that's one thing that hasn't changed. The streets were packed with people, but the queues in the shops weren't that long.
Bully's on Paul Street was excellent as usual. Their ground floor tables were all taken but they have a first floor restaurant I never knew existed! We got a nice table away from everyone, it was a nice reprieve from the crowds and sounds outside. Their Bully Burger is well worth sampling too. Yum!

2 candles and an apple pie
So, I enter my 33rd year on this planet. Highlight of the day was our lunch in the Castle Hotel in Blarney where Adam was on his best behaviour and I was surprised with an apple pie and a rendition of "Happy Birthday" sung by my wife and 2 of the staff!
The burger I had for lunch was delicious too. Yum.
I used to …
Looking around the shopping center this afternoon I remembered how I used to wonder why parents had a dull lifeless haggard look about them. This was when I was single. Now I'm a parent and I know why.
I used to think that people who had their credit cards stolen probably used them on a dodgy site or entered their details on a non secure server. Then my credit card details were skimmed somehow.
I used to spell Windows Windoze, but then I graduated from college.
I used to think I was invincible, I'd climb trees, climb the local quarry, go caving, do slightly mad stuff. Life experience taught me otherwise.
I used to look for gratification in material things but then I got married and my son was born. Wow.
I've never been happier. What about you?

text: "Influenza is a serious disease that kills thousands of people each year," said CDC Director Dr. Thomas Frieden. "Influenza season is upon us and vaccination is the single most important step someone can take to protect themselves. I received my vaccine and I want to encourage anyone who has not gotten vaccinated to go out and get one – it could mean the difference between health and sickness, life and death."The NFL Retired Players Association is supporting this partnership by promoting awareness during National Influenza Vaccination Week and by having legacy and Hall of Fame players reach out to communities and fans nationally. Former Minnesota Viking and Pro Football Hall of Famer Carl Eller received his flu shot at a CVS/pharmacy in Minneapolis to demonstrate to his family, fans and community the importance of getting protected during flu season. Mr. Eller is the President and Founder of the NFL Retired Players Association. "A critical element to the health of our members, who are Pro Football Hall of Famers, NFL Legends, former players and fan favorites, is getting them important information about their health," said Eller. "The NFLRPA's partnership with CDC allows us to provide our members with timely and up to date information that is vital to their overall health. National Influenza Vaccination Week is also a way to keep them involved in the communities where they live and work. NFLRPA members have a large following of loyal supporters who remember them and are still interested in them and their causes." CVS/pharmacy will also promote flu vaccine awareness during National Influenza Vaccination Week on its Facebook and Twitter social media channels. All 7,400 CVS/pharmacy stores and the more than 600 MinuteClinic walk-in medical clinics inside select CVS locations provide flu shots every day including evenings and weekends, no appointment needed. CVS/pharmacy and MinuteClinic accept many health plans, including Medicare Part B and TRICARE, which typically cover the full cost of a flu shot. Direct medical billing for many national and regional health plans that cover all or part of the cost of a flu shot is also available.

Title: Close Encounters
Author: Madam Author
Pairings: None
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: I do not own Clark Kent, nor Tom Welling's portrayal of him (though how I wish...) or any part of the Smallville series, nor do I own Daniel or any part of the SG-1 series.
Spoilers: Season 2 SG-1, Season 6 Smallville
Authors Notes: I am taking very great liberties in pretending that Season two of SG-1 and Season 6 of Smallville take place anywhere near each other in time. Just go with it. Certain pieces of Smallville canon have been removed to make things make better sense and certain bits of other Superman canon (from the movies especially) have been inserted instead. For example, Jor-El never visited earth, as he says in the movies "by the time you hear this I will have been dead many thousands of your years."
"P3X-724, MALP shows no life-signs, looks like the gate is in a temperate zone, nice sunny spring morning. You are clear to go SG-1," General Hammond said over the PA. They were testing one of the addresses that Jack had entered into the system when he had the Ancients information downloaded into his brain. They weren't expecting to see any Jaffa or Goa'uld presence, as this was not an address from the Abydosian cartouche, but they had been caught by surprise before.
Jack grinned and walked forward confidently with his team. Hopefully this would be a quiet easy mission. He popped out of the gate, gun ready but saw nothing as Sam, Teal'c, and Daniel arrived behind him.
"Well, this looks like it will be…" Jack spoke but stopped when there was a noise behind them. They all turned.
Jack and Sam brought up their guns up immediately. Teal'c's staff came down a half-second later.
"Um…how did I get here?"
Standing in front of the stargate was a young man with dark hair in blue jeans, a plaid shirt with a jacket over it and what looked like a piece of glass held in his hand. He was looking around in utter confusion. He glanced at the glass in his hand, as if it might have answers, and then around again.
"Who are you?" Jack demanded, his gun still leveled.
He hesitated a moment and then answered, "Cal." He continued looking around curiously, seemingly not at all upset that there were a number of weapons pointed at him, "And you are?"
All of them stared at him for a bit, then Daniel answered, "I'm Daniel."
"Right. So, how exactly did I get here?" Cal asked with a face the perfect picture of innocence finally looking at them instead of the surrounding area.
"We really don't know. But would be very interested in finding out." Jack said, finally lowering his gun. "I'm Jack," he indicated the other two, "these are Sam and Teal'c." The kid looked harmless and was definitely unarmed.
Cal was back to studying the thing in his hand perplexedly.
There was silence for a few moments and then Daniel said, "What is that?"
Cal looked at him in surprise, as though he had forgotten he was not alone, then he opened his hand and showed them an irregular pentagon made of clear crystal.
"Ok," Daniel said, "what is it?"
Cal looked at them and then at the thing in his hand, "A crystal."
Jack rolled his eyes.

Certain costumes/hairs/hats/etc. from Andre's Costume Boxes and Karja's Accessory Boxes are not tradable. Once the item goes into the inventory, it cannot be dropped, but there is a way to let someone else have the item.
For example, let's say there are 2 families, A & B, who decided to spam some boxes together.
- A and B form a new squad, setting looting rule to Round Robin.
- A checks whose turn it is to get the loot by dropping and picking something low-value (e.g. bullet, pure talt).
Let's say A got the low-value item when he picks it up, so the next item will go to B.
- A opens a costume box and a costume shows up on the floor.
If B wants it, A can pick it up and the costume will go to B's inventory (since it is B's turn in Round Robin).
If A wants it, A can drop and pick a low-value item to give to B (since it is B's turn to get the loot), then pick the costume which will go to A's inventory.
- B can do the same for A. etc.
Hope this helps those who like to spam boxes.
Lv.1-20 Pioneer Equipment
An extra tip from Warlust: The same method can be used to transfer Lv.1 and Lv.20 pioneer equipment. Instead of opening costume boxes, drop the pioneer equipment onto the enchantment box next to the pioneer equipment NPC.

In the release notes for v3.2, I am told:
11. Added setting to use either NetBios name or IP address for connecting to devices during a scan.
Where is it that I can configure this setting? Thanks.
2 Replies
Nov 13, 2008 at 1:20 UTC
Hey there,
You can find this setting by
- Navigating to Settings > Advanced Options
- Click on the link Looking for additional settings?
- Scroll down to the entry Resolve all addresses to names when scanning
- Set to True.
Nov 13, 2008 at 2:57 UTC
Greg (Spiceworks) sent me this response to my question about that new setting in 3.2:
You need to edit your settings.yaml file down in the install-dir/data/settings.yaml.. Make a backup copy of it first in case it gets messed up. You have to be real careful with spaces, etc... Just copy the original off to the side and then add an entry like the following (follow the spacing already in the file, as a guideline).
:use_ip_address_for_wmi: true
This will force it to use the ip address instead of the netbios name.
**We made this adjustment right away and it fixed some problems we were having with VLANS and NETBIOS naming not crossing the barriers, so we opted to use WMI via IP Addressing

EUR/USD: new local high is coming soon because of the "Flag"
There's a "Double Bottom", which led to the current upward price movement. Also, we've got a "Triangle", so the market is likely going to move up in the direction of the 55 Moving Average. If we see a pullback from this line afterwards, bears will probably try to get a support at 1.1015 – 1.1001.
As we can see on the one-hour chart, there's a flat in progress between a resistance by the Moving Average lines and a support by the level at 1.1057. At the same time, we've got a "Flag", so the pair is likely going to reach the closest resistance area, which is near the local downtrend. However, if bulls be stopped here, there'll be an opportunity to see a decline towards a support at 1.1024 – 1.1014.

Endangered Species: Gentoo penguin
Digital Reporter
Wednesday, January 22, 2014, 8:09 PM
TWN Stormhunter Mark Robinson recently visited Antarctica. One animal he came across during his travels is the Gentoo penguin -- which was listed as a threatened species in 2007.
Experts say there are a few reasons this species is declining.
It has been suggested that oil exploration, tourism activity and marine traffic near key habitat spaces could be diminishing the penguin's birth rate.
Interactions with nearby fisheries is another threat.
RELATED: Learn about the hine's emerald dragonfly
Noted for their bright orange beaks, white feather caps, and peach feet, these little waddlers stand in stark contrast to the Antarctic Peninsula.
This species often forms close bonds. Parents work together to build nests and raise young.
On land, Gentoos aren't exactly graceful-- but in the water,they can reach speeds of up to 36 km/h, making them the fastest diving birds on the planet.
One of the best ways to help the Gentoo penguin is by purchasing seafood that has been sustainably sourced and by reducing your carbon footprint.
By limiting the waste you produce, you're keeping the planet clean and healthy, and that's good news for Gentoo penguins -- and the rest of the world's endangered species.

My primary residence has my parents names on title but not on the mortgage deed. I would like to take their names off the title on my primary residence and add their names on an investment home that I recently purchased, which they would like to make their primary residence. Will this trigger double gift taxes? If so, is there a way to do a like kind exchange for them to "give up" their share of my primary residence in exchange for an equal share of my investment property?
There is a value to each transfer here. However, the gift tax would only be triggered for the difference between the value of the transfers you speak of if they were done together. But, you can utilize the unified credit if the value of the transfer in the end is above the annual exemption amount which would decrease the unified credit available to the estate of the party here who utilized it.Ask a similar question

In Chaotic City Hospitals, A Bureaucracy to Match
Published: March 7, 1995
(Page 4 of 4)
While the corporation is dominated by the Mayor, the individual hospitals hew to powerful local interests, from community groups to City Council members and state legislators. Each hospital must navigate through local politics when making most major decisions, from appointing top hospital officials to deciding which departments to shut down.
"The hospitals are not just hospitals in these communities," said Mr. Steisel, the former deputy mayor. "They are police stations; they're welfare offices."
The result is an agency paralyzed by its need to win a consensus on every decision, no matter how mundane. Metropolitan Hospital Center in East Harlem, for instance, could not pick a new director of nursing without a series of meetings with community leaders who were concerned about the ethnic backgrounds of the candidates.
The clearest example is the city's inability to shrink any of its hospitals, even those that are underused. Most experts have long agreed there is no longer a need for 11 hospitals, some just a few miles away from others. During the Dinkins administration, Mr. Steisel said, "There was a general feeling that many of the hospitals were redundant."
But no one was willing to publicly single out a particular hospital for closing, he recalled. "There was a general feeling that politically, you couldn't do it." The Future Fearing the Worst: Modern Asylums
It seems certain that there will soon be fewer public hospitals. Mayor Giuliani will have little trouble finding buyers for at least two of the hospitals he has put up for sale -- Elmhurst Hospital Center and Coney Island Hospital.
For many New Yorkers, the disappearance of public hospitals will have little impact. In working- and middle-class neighborhoods, patients who could pay for better care or had insurance abandoned them long ago.
More recently, private hospitals, desperate to fill their own beds, have begun wooing the most lucrative of the hospital corporation's remaining constituents -- Medicaid recipients. At least partly for that reason, 8 of the 11 hospitals in the system have lost patients over the last decade.
But some experts say the private hospitals will not want to treat some patients, like the homeless, drug abusers and the mentally ill, whose presence might scare off other patients.
"Are there people who are undesirable, people who they don't want?" said Robert D. Gumbs, executive director of the state-financed Health Systems Agency, which examines health care trends. "Yes. The corporation could be left with that, the uninsured and the undesirable."
As the Mayor makes over the city's health care system, Mr. Gumbs and other planners say, one of his biggest challenges will be to find a place for these patients. They number in the hundreds of thousands.
By all accounts, Mr. Giuliani will have to come up with a package of financial incentives and new laws to force private hospitals to take on more of the patients they do not want. And, the planners say, the administration may have to fashion a pared-down public system to treat the worst cases.
The most difficult task will be keeping those public hospitals from degenerating into modern-day asylums, the kinds of places the city set out to eliminate decades ago. Some of the Mayor's critics look to the future and warn of squalid hospitals with relentless problems that will repel most doctors and all but the most desperate patients.
Even before confronting this daunting task, the Mayor will have to overcome some more basic obstacles -- the nitty-gritty details of selling huge public institutions, the inevitable outcry from neighborhoods whose economies are driven by public hospitals and the opposition of political opponents.
For one thing, when Mayor Giuliani begins breaking apart the system to sell its pieces, he is likely to find that many hospitals will have no takers.
"Who's going to buy Woodhull?" asked Dr. Jones, the corporation's former president.
Beyond that, some members of the corporation's board, particularly those aligned with former Mayor Dinkins, are angry that Mr. Giuliani announced his plan to sell hospitals without telling them first.
"We read about it in the press," said Dr. James R. Dumpson, a board member and longtime Dinkins ally. Dr. Dumpson said that Mayor Giuliani must get a majority of votes before shaking up the system, though he acknowledged that mayors generally get their way with the board.
Dr. Siegel himself has expressed reservations about the idea of selling or shutting down hospitals.
In interviews before the Mayor's plan was announced, Dr. Siegel said he was not yet willing to give up on the corporation. He outlined proposals for sweeping changes that he hopes will revitalize the system, like shutting down little-used services and getting tougher with the private affiliates.
He also said it was time for the corporation to return to the model first proposed by Mr. Piel's commission -- recasting itself as an independent body free from City Hall's meddling and swings in political philosophy.
"My sense is the city wants to get out of the hospital business," he said. "And that's fine. I want the city out of my business."

jeep names
What is the name you gave your jeep? I Know everyone talks to it at one time or another.
I call my tj lil josey and my Cherokee is Susie
So let's have it..
Abe Froman
Sparkie Boink jr. for my TJ, Rocky for my early CJ-5.
sonofab**ch some times the son of a B makes it and some times it dont
used to call my 78 CJ7 'slaw' like the monster from The Goonies (or is it sloth??). My current jeeper gets a lot of star wars references, as in, "She'll hold together! (Hear me baby, hold together)." I know...i know.
My wife names all my toys. My mountain bikes have been Wendy and Coral (it was a Gary Fisher Marlin, 'Finding Nemo'.... Get it?)
Now she's named my TJ. It's Midge. I'm not sure where that came from but what are you gonna' do?:nonono:
Mine is Melinda.
The name had eluded us for almost a year! Finally, she told us her name last week. >>> Selene <<<
I call it lots of names...none of which can be posted on this forum.
The third photo is from the cab of the tow truck, notice the windows and doors off in the second photo. About 30 seconds after I snapped the pic I realized my iPad was in the back seat...yes she was called may names that day.
Mine is called Wilma. Now if only my name was Fred..... Haha.
When I get my second jeep I am naming my first one Thing one and the second one Thing two...
Keep them coming!!:rofl:
My, TJ is "Buzzbye." The first time I saw him I said to myself; you'ld better buzz by real fast or your gonna put yourself in debt for a long time! You know the rest!!!! :-)
Mine is Willy. My first jeep was a 1952 M38 and I called it Willy and this one somehow just picked up the name
Dusty. :)
I don't name them but my 3 year old calls it "Tugger" from the Tugger Jeep movie Quadratec sells.
Mine is called Betsy. That or money pit after I see my credit card statement at the end 'o the month. Gotta love a Jeep.....
We are not accustomed to give things a name, but we call our TJ 'Black' and the KJ 'Red'. That saves time fom having to say 'Wrangler' or 'Liberty'. ;)
Georgette....... as in George Romero. The fiance named it after she read some zombie apocalypse book where the main character was named Georgette in honor of Romero.
Mine is Silvia (it's silver) but more often it's "what's THAT noise?"

Yellow Dawg
well my wife calls it the money pit.....I call it Hoss

My girlfriend calls mine T-REX, not really sure why, I normally just call it buddy or bud, just got the 4 beater a few months ago, must be a bit shy and hasn't revealed his name to me yet, perfectly understandable. cheers
When I call our Jeeps anything, it's usually unprintable...the joys of older used Jeeps...
This is great more,more,more.:speechless-smiley:

Isn't it amazing how the approaching of a New Year we gets this BURST of energy to conquer the world! We're ready to take on everything, anything and anyone that comes our way. We are changing, moving, setting goal, deleting folks from our friends list on Facebook, we are wiping the slate clean and starting all over. The New Year brings excitement; the possibilities of something new. There's hope in the New Year and miracles looking to happen. Isn't it awesome the New Year does that to us?
No matter how you see it, the New Year is the open door to everything new and everything from old is gone. There is something about the New Year that wipes away the past faster than yesterday, the New Year makes everything that didn't work disappear!
For Some 2015 brought new adventures and excitement, tears along with fears, new job, old friends, new relationships, broken hearts, 2015 for some is a year that some can repeated while others are glad to see it departed. There were failures and success, new friendships and partnership built while others faded away. We pick up clients and lost some. We start new jobs, new business and return to the old way of doing things because everything else didn't quite seem to work.
Whatever happens in 2015 good, bad or ugly, it's okay, because it was part of God's plan. Jeremiah 29:11 tells us "I know the plan for you it's is to prosper you not harm you" (New American Standard Bible).
Embrace what is before you. Stop making excuse to do this and do that. NIKE came up with the "Just Do It" slogan because the company recognized the fear players face each day on the court and on the field. What could possibly happen if you went back to school; started a business or every Sunday go to a shelter to feed the homeless? What could happen if you decided to move to the next level in your career, mentor children on Saturday afternoon or coach a little league basketball team? My mother always told my three sisters and me, "nothing beats a failure but a try"!! And I lived by that daily!
So, with 2016 on your coat tail will you "Just do it"? Create a year that will blow your mind! Start that business, learn that dance, go to New York.. This is your life and it was only dealt to you with one hand, so don't tunk out!! Grab 2016 with possibilities, excitement and expect miracles.
Are you ready for the 2016?
What goals have you set? What moments do you want to embrace? Are you going to make serious changes, Let's hear from you!!
Post your comments!! Until next time!! The business Woman!

Not illustrated. 1908 Excerpt: ...nests in the summer and choked with hoar frost in the winter. A ventilating cap is shown in Fig. 60. Saddle hubs belong to the days of poor plumbing, before plumbing codes were adopted. They are used, however, to a greater or less extent in country places where there is no one to supervise the work on repair jobs. A saddle hub is shown in Fig. 6i. To use this fitting a hole must first be cut through the pipe to which the hub is to be attached and two bolt holes through which the bolts that hold the saddle hub to the pipe must be drilled. The space between the saddle hub and the pipe is then bedded in putty and the two, the pipe and saddle hub, are drawn firmly together by the bolts. Such a connection can never be depended on, and is prohibited in all cities where there are plumbing codes. The putty between the saddle hub and the pipe, when once it has dried out, is liable to crack, thus providing a channel for the escape of gas into the house, or the bolts might corrode through, thus breaking the connection at this point. There is no real economy in the use of saddle hubs and the practice of installing them should be discouraged. If, however, saddle hubs are to be used, then it is better to require a pipe band, similar to Fig. 62, which makes a much stronger and more permanent joint. Saddle hubs can be had in T patterns, Y patterns, and in half-Y patterns, and with various sizes of outlet. In ordering saddle hubs, not only the size of outlet should be specified, but also the size of pipe the saddle is to fit, and whether the pipe is to be standard or extra heavy. Pipe plugs, Fig. 63, are used to close the ends of pipes and the branch outlet to fittings. Fig. 64. A cleanout ferrule is shown in Fig. 64. Some cleanouts have iron bodies and some have brass bodi...show more

Following a 2-1 home series victory over Korea, Tall Blacks coach Nenad Vucinic has trimmed his roster to 14 as the side edge closer to next month's World Cup in Spain.
The squad leaves for Korea in a week for two more games against the South Koreans and they then move to invitational tournaments in China before travelling to Europe with games in Lithuania and Serbia before arriving in Spain in late August.
Of the 17 players in the squad for the home series against Korea, four will not travel to Asia with Jack Salt, Tohi Smith-Milner and Josh Bloxham not required, while Alex Pledger has a foot injury and will be out for four to six weeks.
"The toughest decision is the one that is made for us with Alex and his injury because he was one of the main players we were counting on," Vucinic said.
"We still don't discount him because we will give him time to recover but it will be a race against time for Alex. We really feel for him, he has worked so hard after surgery on his ankle and now this, it is such an unusual injury too, it really was bad luck the way he came down on someone else's foot."
Influenced in part by the injury to Pledger, the Tall Blacks will take big men Casey Frank and Nick Horvath on tour, despite knowing that only one of the naturalized players can make the final 12 in Spain.
The 14-strong squad includes veteran Tall Blacks with previous World Cup experience, including Kirk Penney (2002, 06, 10), Mika Vukona (2006, 10), Tom Abercrombie (2010), Benny Anthony (2010), Lindsay Tait (2010) and Casey Frank (2010).
There is a strong showing from the younger brigade as well though, most notably in the large form of 16-year-old Tai Wynyard.
Rob Loe, who has recently played in the NBA's Summer League for the Golden State Warriors, will join the team in New Zealand just prior to departing for Korea while Jarrod Kenny is named despite currently carrying a foot injury.
The Hawkes Bay point guard is expected to recover in time to play a part in the Asian leg of the tour.
Tall Blacks squad: Thomas Abercrombie, Benny Anthony, Everard Bartlett, Isaac Fotu, Casey Frank, Nick Horvath, Jarrod Kenny, Rob Loe, Kirk Penney, Lindsay Tait, Mika Vukona, Corey Webster, Tai Webster, Tai Wynyard.

UK Travel Deals & Discounts Hand Picked for you Daily FREE on App StoreOpen
This beautiful city has a colourful history. Despite its challenges in the past, the city has become a modern and safe tourist destination. Sharm el Sheikh is quite the success story – it has transformed from a city well-known for fishing activities to one of the most coveted tourist destinations in the world. People travel from all corners of the globe to experience the city, and for good reason. A trip here will be an experience you won't forget in a hurry. Historically, Sharm el Sheikh has been known as a city of peace. Many decades ago, it was an ideal meeting place for friends and organizations from Israel and other regions of the Middle East. Countries and regional governments come here to sort out their differences and work together to build peace and harmony. It is specifically recognized in the international community as a safe haven for tourists. The city is peaceful and calm, so you can rest assured that your visit will be stress-free.
Many years before the first tourists come to the Sharm el Sheikh's crystal blue waters, the city served as one of Egypt's most important ports. It is situated at the southern part of the Sinai Peninsula where the Gulf of Aqaba and Gulf of Suez meet. Over the years, it has grown from a mere sleepy fishy town into a hustling and bustling town welcoming over 10,000 tourists each year.
The number of tourists visiting the area keeps increasing every year. Not even the devastating 2005 terrorist attack that killed nearly 100 people could slow the tide of tourists visiting Sharm el Sheikh. This city is a safe place where one can enjoy world-class diving, beautiful scenery and unparalleled hospitality. It is an ideal home away from home and a place of merriment, joy, and peace.
Jabal Musa is said to be the oldest city in Sharm el Sheikh. This is the place where the Biblical Mount Sinai, where Moses climbed to receive two tablets containing the Ten Commandments of God, is located. Another important location near Sharm el Sheikh is the popular St. Catherine's Monastery, which many believe was the site of the Burning Bush. The monastery dates back to the 4th century.
By the year 639 AD, Arabs had already conquered Sinai after a long, fierce battle. Sharm el Sheikh existed prior to the rule of Ottoman Empire, and became an important port named after the respected figure Sarm-us Seyh in the 16th century. There were attempts to mine gold in this city. Ultimately, the project was completely unsuccessful and was abandoned.
Israelis were the first of people who turned this lucrative tiny fishing spot into a formidable tourist destination. This occurred in 1967. Israel also occupied the city in 1956 during the famous Suez crisis. The port, however, collapsed the next year under Egyptian control. This was an important turning point in Egyptian history. The Israelis then took time to establish Ofira, a great settlement, located very close to Sharm el-Maya Bay.
Since 1982, Sharm el Sheikh's tourism infrastructure has ever increasing. It has become the envy of many nations. Visitors happily admire the city's desert scenery and mountains, exotic hotel complexes, and modern shops along the sandy shores. There are also strict environmental laws preventing the construction of buildings over a certain length or height, which helps to preserve the landscape. There are many things that inspire visitors to return to the city, but its stunning natural surroundings are most certainly at the top of the list.
Although most visitors come here mainly for pleasure, the city has also hosted a number of peace conferences. This was why it has been named a "City of Peace." Sharm el-Sheikh also hosted 2006 and 2008 World Economic Forums. The city was put to the test by a terrorist attack in 2005, which almost ended Sharm el-Sheikh's streak of success. Despite this and other challenges, the city of peace has continued to grow better each day, fulfilling the aspirations and desires of many tourists.
Old Town has an amazing history. There are many caravan passages and buildings to see that have lasted for over 2,000 years. Feel free to walk around the local market, interact with sellers, and get a good bargain while you're at it.
This is another important site to visit. While many people come to Sharm el Sheikh for entertainment purposes, there are many others who come here mainly for religious purposes. Many tourists take a pilgrimage to St. Catherine's monastery. Over fifty thousand guests visit the monastery from all parts of the world each year and UNESCO regards it as World Heritage site.
This is the biblical monastery where Moses allegedly received the Ten Commandments from God. It is considered to be a building of great importance and holiness. Whether you are interested in religious history or not, visiting a building that was carved out of a solid rock is still quite the site to behold.
This building was carved between 548 and 565 and yet it still stands strong. Seeing this impressive building is humbling and undoubtedly worth the trip.
Many world leaders (both religious and secular) have taken time to visit the monastery and pray with their families. To many, it is a place of solace, comfort, miracles, and wonders. Some people even report that their lives have changed significantly after spending time with their family and friends at St. Catherine's Monastery.
The monastery is not meant for Catholics alone - people all denominations are welcome to come and pray. When you go, make sure you abide by the rules, which include silence and solitude. Respect the building, its history, and other visitors. Regardless of your religious affiliations, the Monastery is a welcoming place for solitary reflection.
The Red Sea packed with a plethora of activities. This is surely one of the most extraordinary diving destinations in the world, and it is not to be missed. Historically, the first people that came to Sharm's shores were divers seeking to explore the underwater treasures. As of today, there are over 1000 identified species of marine life and 250 reefs. It is an unrivalled paradise for marine animals. If you go diving or snorkelling, be sure to obey all rules and use common sense. Some animals (like corals) are very sensitive. Look, but don't touch. You may also want to invest in an underwater camera to document your adventure.
You can also go to Sharm's dive school, where you can be instructed in all facets of diving. Some schools even provide PADI training courses. If you master the teaching very well, you will be swimming with sharks in no time. If diving isn't for you, you can go snorkelling in the colourful rocky inlets and lagoons.
These are just some of the reasons why Sharm el Sheikh should be your next holiday destination. Egyptian culture is wonderful to behold; it should be treasured and celebrated. Culture is both a way of life and the identity of a people. Come experience the rich cultural heritage of Egypt - we guarantee you won't regret it.
Enjoy your stay and best wishes!
