2 Introduction Medilink International specialises in providing expert medical services to companies and individuals worldwide. Our clients range from large oil corporations to public sector entities and we deploy medical services in some of the world s most demanding environments. Your people in safe hands At Medilink, we provide the complete range of medical services international clients require when establishing and running operations overseas. We are specialists in supplying medical support in remote regions and in difficult terrains and climates. We provide assistance throughout the duration of our clients operations in the field. At Medilink, we offer consultancy and medical audit services, continuous support for client teams, and critical services such as remote medical units, topside support and emergency evacuation. We operate worldwide from our headquarters in Malta and run a dedicated, full-service, medical clinic in Libya, which acts as our regional hub. From there, we oversee the deployment of corporate medical services to the wider North African region and beyond. The Medilink Tripoli Clinic also offers a wide range of routine, family healthcare and emergency medical services for clients based in the immediate region. Whatever level of medical support you require, and wherever, Medilink gives you and your staff peace of mind, 24 hours a day. Your medical partner We work as your partner throughout your project, whether it is long term or of a few weeks duration. Medilink adds value by allowing your team to work confidently, in the knowledge that their medical needs, health and well being are provided for whatever eventuality arises. At Medilink, we offer clients immense flexibility and choice of service. The organisation of medical support in remote regions can be a very demanding task requiring expert assistance. At Medilink, therefore, we offer a turnkey service, acting as a one-stop provider for your entire medical needs. This gives you the ease and convenience of one company as your interface for medical services. You may require entire medical teams or just the back-up of our remote, telemedicine support. Whatever level of medical services you require, we can assist you at every stage. 2 3
3 Our Services Mostly, we are called in to work with clients from the very start of their operations at a new site or in a new region. Our first role is to provide audit and advisory services to help prepare clients and their staff for the health, safety and medical aspects of the environment and climate in which they will be working. We have particular experience in understanding the needs of the oil, gas and petroleum industries and advise your personnel on the specific demands faced in these sectors. Your people in safe hands Our role then extends to providing planning and procedural documentation to ensure clients are prepared for any medical eventuality - including emergency evacuations - that may arise during their work in the field. We deploy our own experienced, medical teams and equipment to your site and can train your medical staff. Medilink offers fully-equipped, mobile medical units which can be deployed swiftly to even the most inaccessible sites. We can assist remote medical teams through our telemedicine, topside support service. Importantly, we offer air ambulance and medevac services wherever you are based. We have established and reliable links with third-party hospitals and can organise an evacuation from anywhere in the world, working through our network of correspondents. Audit & Assessment Medilink offers health risk assessments and audits of medical facilities. These services identify the real and likely hazards of a workplace or site and evaluate the efficiency of the medical services currently supplied. Our audits also determine whether the budget allocated is sufficient and being used in an appropriate way. Audit and assessment helps clients take steps to avoid or eliminate hazards and will help also reduce the likely number of work-related injuries and accidents. As an independent organisation, Medilink is ideally placed to carry out this audit role. Our documentation provides a blueprint for the nature and type of services you require and identifies the steps needed to ensure the health, safety and medical situation on the ground is more reliable and cost-effective. Our assessments cover: Potential hazards; Safety in the workplace; Medical facilities on site; Support medical facilities in the area; Standard operating procedures; and Emergency operating procedures. Design & Planning Following from the audit phase, we design and plan the medical services you require to operate safely on site and which give your team the level of support they require. This may involve recommending the deployment of a dedicated, mobile, medical unit, or we may advise you to invest in further training to equip your own medical or general staff with the requisite, first responder skills. We provide a full scoping document detailing all the medical services and equipment you require, along with relevant budget considerations. Policies & Procedures This is one of the most important aspects in the planning of your operations, and one which we take great care over. We draft policies and procedures manuals for individual client projects, detailing the courses of action to be taken by your staff in given situations. Policies and procedures are of vital importance in medical emergencies and in dealing with evacuations, but we also detail procedures for the more routine, everyday medical situations. This documentation needs to be accessible to and understood by key staff to ensure your team has full peace of mind when working in remote regions. Staffing We advise on the medical staff complement you will need to operate safely and efficiently. We work with you both as a trainer and provider of medical staff. We can deploy entire medical teams, including doctors, nurses, paramedics, first aiders, oil-field medics and emergency specialists. Our staff are available from various countries. We give your own staff back-up on site and remotely using our telemedicine and topside services. We also offer training courses to your medical and non-medical staff. We can both assist you and help build your medical team s own capabilities 4 5
4 Equipping & Supplies Medilink is highly experienced in the management and deployment of medical services in remote locations and we routinely supply remote sites. Our hub in Tripoli, Libya, allows us to do this quickly and efficiently in the wider African region, but we also mobilise supplies worldwide though our network of correspondents. We can supply a full range of equipment, drugs and medical consumables. We have several fully-equipped mobile clinics ready for immediate deployment to any location. The degree to which they are equipped depends on your needs and is usually assessed by us at audit stage, before your teams are in location. Our mobile units can be equipped either as a full operating theatre suite or as emergency clinics. Similarly, we have a fleet of ambulances which is available on lease. They are equipped with satellite phones, roll-over bars, beacons, sirens, stretchers and oxygen. They also employ GPS systems. Occupational Health Services Occupational health is increasingly important both from an employee and employer perspective. We conduct pre-employment, fitness-towork assessments as well as in-service medical examinations. Medilink has defined health and fitness protocols for various employment roles and for specific regions and industries. These provide our clients with a clear overview of the health risks and requirements facing their staff. We offer screening tailored to individual client requirements as we know that different sectors and employment roles have their own criteria. We also offer consultation to clients requiring further assistance for any medical condition identified during screening. We can prepare members for any particular conditions that may affect their health, such as climate or terrain, and advise on any physical or psychological demands they might face. 6 7
5 Training Topside Support Our strong academic and research base coupled with our long experience in operating medical services in demanding environments has given us an ideal platform from which to offer training to medical and non-medical staff working in remote regions. Prime among our courses is first responder and trauma training. We also offer pre-training for medical staff seeking to further their professional qualification on international, industry-standard courses. Our courses cover: First aid; Trauma training; First Responder training; Safety; and Hazard identification Topside support is fast becoming one of our most important services for clients working in remote locations. It gives medical staff on site the convenience and peace of mind of having an immediate, round-the-clock link to senior medical specialists and consultants back at base. One of the major difficulties in providing medical services in remote locations had always been the lack of support for doctors in the field. Medilink s topside support services overcome this hurdle: medics feel supported by having instant access to senior consultants; and client companies have a more efficient way of having staff treated competently, on site, at the remote location. Previously, even in routine situations, a doctor may have had to refer back to base for a second opinion on a patient. As a result, the client company would have had to bear the costs of transport and lost productivity. 8 9
6 Medical Evacuations Medilink operates a fast, reliable air ambulance service internationally. We organise international repatriations in both air ambulances and on scheduled commercial flights for cases in which the patient is well enough not to require intensive care. Patients can travel by stretcher or be seated, and are accompanied by a doctor or nurse who provides continuous, in-flight monitoring and any medical assistance they may require. We operate a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week, emergency hotline for medical evacuations. Lines are manned by experts in the field. For clients in Libya, we mobilise our Tripoli emergency medical team to ensure the fastest response times for expert medical evacuation from remote locations across the country. Medilink works in partnership with both local and overseas medical services and establishments to provide for the surgical or ongoing medical care of our members. When required, our doctors refer members to third-party hospitals and we organise any necessary appointments and hospital admission

Up in the high pastures of Wood Green there is a straggle of large, run-down buildings called The Chocolate Factory that has been colonised by artists, potters, designers and anyone arty needing cheap, no frills space.
You'll find Mosaica hidden at the heart of Building C, and it is an amazing place - spacious, stylish and comfortable.
There is a long bar made up of cinder blocks, topped with a twenty-foot sheet of glass.
There's a huge open kitchen.
And for once they've got the atmosphere dead right - stylish but informal, neighbourhood but sharp.
The food is a complete surprise.
It's terrific.
The menu at Mosaica is short and changes daily - all is seasonal and all is fresh; starters might include charred asparagus with fried duck egg and Parmesan; grilled squid with grilled lime; a rabbit terrine with olives; and tuna carpaccio with spring onion and lemongrass dressing.
Mains range from sea bass fillet with warm potato salad and baby aubergines, to grilled rib-eye steak with garlic mash and fine beans - the rib-eye sliced and meltingly tender, the mash rich and not over-gluey.
Or perhaps there's an epic dish such as veal T-bone with wild mushroom port wine jus.
Notable puds: chocolate and amaretti biscuit mousse.
The wine list is short and the service more enthusiastic than polished, but the food is great and the prices are forgiving.

text: Hi There: Made the mistake up upgrading to IOS7 yesterday and immediately regretted it. Among other things (interface, etc) I got a Device Not Recognized error when i plugged my 4S into my computer. I downgraded back to IOS6 and the interface is fixed but still get the error message on first connecting. If I unplug and plug back in, it seems to work OK but takes two shots to get it recognized. (I also upgraded to the latest version of itunes in order to do the downgrade). Something's not right. Any ideas? Keith

I'm being tossed, to and fro, relentlessly, smashed against pillars of rock, too slimy with seaweed to provide purchase to haul myself out of these churning, black waters. I cry out for help and my mouth is instantly filled with brine and sand. The currents tug at my feet and I'm losing the energy to fight against them, when I a shadow detaches itself from the darkness and slides forward.
The sound of my name shocks me. It has no place in this strange sea. I look up and see an odd vessel drawn alongside me. It is smooth and elegant, but surely far too small to survive the rage of this storm.
I don't know who is in the boat, but a small silhouette leans out over the edge.
The figure speaks again and I realise it is a woman.
"Help me," I croak, reaching up to her and she leans forward. Lightning sizzles across the sky, throwing her face into sharp relief and I recoil. My wife gazes down at me calmly, her face youthful and unblemished. The waves buffet us again and I remember my predicament. I reach up beseechingly and she takes my hand. Lightning flashes again, but this time the light does not fade and I'm left staring up at my wife's face as it withers and shrivels. Her teeth crack and crumble and her hair disintegrates, drifting from her head.
The hand clutching mine wastes away to bones covered with the thinnest scrap of skin, but it clings on still, claw-like.
"Do you still think I should save you?" she asks calmly and I suddenly feel totally empty. I look back at her and she raises one wrinkled eyebrow.
I let go. The sea closes over my head and the currents twine themselves around me, cradling me and taking me to the bottom. When the water slides into my lungs, it's because I inhale it and let it in.
"Whoa! Wha' the Hell?"
The insistent ringing of my phone has woken me up. I grope on the table beside my bed until my flailing hand lands on it and brings it to my ear.
"This 's Pri'kin." My words are slurred from a mixture of left over adrenaline and sleep deprivation. I've been having more nightmares than usual recently.
"John, listen, we have a bit of a situation here. The colonel wants you in ASAP."
I look at the clock and stifle a groan.
"Caleb. It's 4am." I sit up, the last vestiges of sleep disappearing. "And what sort of a situation?"
He chuckles. He knows damn well I can't resist a fight.
"Your sort. Some rogue sybil's been brought in by the vamps and something's really off about her."
"I'll see you in 10," I tell him and hang up.
I look around my dark room and try to blot out my dreams. Well, I won't be getting any more sleep anyway. I get up, and start making coffee. Cereal nearly chokes me. I just don't feel like eating. In the end, I give up and bin it.
I stagger into the shower, but of course the running water reminds me uncomfortably of my nightmare. I stand under the spray, rigid, trying to force myself to move, but after a few minutes of feeling like I'm about to crawl out of my skin, I get out and wrap a towel 'round my waist, shivering.
I go to the sink and get my razor out of the cabinet. I look up and catch site of my reflection in the mirror. I look terrible. My cheeks are hollow and rough with stubble. Shadows like bruises ring my eyes and my skin is papery white. I look like a dead man. My stomach churns and I really don't want to go to work. I have no energy, even after drinking enough coffee to give a horse a heart attack, but I know I'm not sick. Just messed up.
I stare down at the sink, bracing my hands on either side of it. It doesn't matter how awful I feel. If I stopped every time I was depressed, how many people would have suffered at the hands of monsters? The only thing that separates me from them is a conscience and a century of nightmares. I look back up at my reflection and green eyes gaze coldly back. I whisper a low level regeneration spell and blood rushes back to my cheeks. Lines and shadows around my eyes smooth out. I shave and look at myself again. I look in control at least, instead of an inmate in a 19th century asylum. But my eyes are totally hollow. I sigh. Today is not going to be a good day.

The losses mark the third consecutive month of transportation job losses after a string of five months that saw increases in employment in the sector following the passage of a $105 billion surface transportation bill last summer.
The sector with the highest number of gains in transportation employment in February, according to BLS, was trucking, which increased by 5,600 jobs. Truck companies had 1,382,900 jobs in February, compared to 1,377,300 in January.
The highest number of losses in transportation employment came in transit and ground passenger transportation, which went from 465,600 jobs in January to 462,200 jobs in February.
The labor statistics bureau found the aviation industry lost 1,300 jobs, going from 446,300 in January to 445,000 last month. Rail employment was even, with the industry containing 230,500 jobs in both January and February.

Eurometaux and ARCHE are proud to announce the release of the "metal EQS" video produced in collaboration with ARRIBA, Triangle 7 and the active support of several experts of the Water Taskforce. The premiere has already been held during the Water Task Force on April 15th at the metals conference centre. The video is mainly targeting the non-specialist audience from both regulators and industry and is aiming to bring across the message in a visually attractive way of the importance metal bioavailability could have in the context of regulatory compliance. More precisely, the script of the video is about demonstrating the scientific principles of metal bioavailability, how this can be used to calculate site-specific Environmental Quality Standards (EQS) or bioavailable metal concentrations and how environmental compliance can be achieved in a tiered approach. The video further also dedicates a scene related to the "Biomet" tool, i.e. the user-friendly and freely online tool (bio-met.net) as developed by ARCHE/WCA that could predict the bioavailability of metals in natural surface waters and therefore calculate site-specific EQS and compliance check. For more information, please contact Patrick Van Sprang (email@example.com)

|Published Online: June 6, 2016
Imperial College London is unusual for being the only university in the UK to offer degrees exclusively in science-based disciplines. However, the importance of the arts in developing breadth in students is recognised in an innovative, interdisciplinary programme called Imperial Horizons. Technological innovations mean that we can re-evaluate fact-driven curricula to focus instead on developing higher-order thinking skills acquired through experiential learning. We must continue to find ways of adding value to face-to-face teaching to justify students engaging in the classroom. Using the framework of experiential learning and focusing on medical education in particular, I will describe teaching initiatives using the arts to enhance creative thinking and tolerance of ambiguity. "Reflection" and "resilience" are two qualities that are "trending" in medical education. To these, I will argue, should be added a third "R"—"resonance," which unites the rational and emotional in a state of responsive consonance. The practical application of arts education is shown in examples of art created by medical students, which demonstrates how the arts can help set up resonance between rational knowledge, imagination and emotion. Short-term and long-term feedback shows that students find engagement with the arts in this educational setting beneficial as they prepare to enter challenging professions. The implication is that this allows us to make a strong case for the continued inclusion of the arts in crowded science-based curricula, for intellectual, creative and practical reasons.

Screw You WAMU
I should have known not to buy it, after interviewing at that place for a job once. To summarize, I got up and walked out about a third of the way through, knowing it wasn't the kind of place I wanted to work. And now it's the kind of place that has brought down my stock portfolio.

The Birk Economic Recovery Plan
I'm against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG. Instead, I'm in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in a We Deserve It Dividend. To make the math simple, let's assume there are 200,000,000 bonafide U.S. Citizens 18+. Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman and child. So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up..
So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billion that equals $425,000.00.
My plan is to give $425,000 to every person 18+ as a We Deserve It Dividend. Of course, it would NOT be tax free. So let's assume a tax rate of 30%. Every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500.00 in taxes. That sends $25,500,000,000 right back to Uncle Sam. But it means that every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their pocket.
A husband and wife has $595,000.00. What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00 in your family?
Pay off your mortgage - housing crisis solved.
Repay college loans - what a great boost to new grads
Put away money for college - it'll be there
Save in a bank - create money to loan to entrepreneurs.

Remember this is for every adult U S Citizen 18+ including the folks who lost their jobs at Lehman Brothers and every other company that is cutting back. And of course, for those serving in our Armed Forces.
If we're going to do an $85 billion bailout, let's bail out every adult U S Citizen 18+!
As for AIG - liquidate it. Sell off its parts. Let American General go back to being American General. Sell off the real estate. Let the private sector bargain hunters cut it up and clean it up. Here's my rationale. We deserve it and AIG doesn't. Sure it's a crazy idea that can "never work."
But can you imagine the Coast-To-Coast Block Party! How do you spell Economic Boom? I trust my fellow adult Americans to know how to use the $85 Billion We Deserve It Dividend more than I do the geniuses at AIG or in Washington DC .
And remember, The Birk plan only really costs $59.5 Billion because $25.5 Billion is returned instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam. Ahhh...I feel so much better getting that off my chest.

Palin Says No To Reporters
The point I'm making; if this is how she is as a candidate, how controlling and closed off will she be as a vice president?
Full story on MSNBC
I'd also like to add for the people who think that women will vote for her just because she is a woman, check out Women Against Sarah Palin. A bunch of smart ladies who are voting based on the issues, and not just the gender.

Word of The Day
The C-word: Apparently women find this one offensive, so it's not okay to use when referring to anyone. Unless you are British. Many Brits use this regularly when talking to friends, so it's acceptable for them. Personally I prefer snatch, as it just sounds funny when saying it.
And now the R-word: According to the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD) it is now offensive to say retard. They are so offended by its use in the movie Tropic Thunder, that the AAPD is attempting to boycott the movie. Which is fantastic if you ask me, because as we all know, when that happens it only promotes the movie and increases tickets sales. But it does set a standard that the movie studios might follow, by cutting retard from scripts.
On this list, I can get behind not using the N-word. It has a long standing history of offensiveness. So the next time you are talking to some retarded nigger cunt, just call them a retarded cunt. But, let's not give in to the political correctness sweeping the nation. Let's stop with the banning of inappropriate language, and in fact promote it. The next time you are in a meeting, swear and say whatever comes to mind. Or if you don't have the balls for that, just sing a few bars of "Alice's Restaurant" in a form of semi-silent rebellion to the man.

Sarah Speaks
PALIN: "I have protected the taxpayers by vetoing wasteful spending ... and championed reform to end the abuses of earmark spending by Congress. I told the Congress 'thanks but no thanks' for that Bridge to Nowhere."
THE FACTS: As mayor of Wasilla, Palin hired a lobbyist and traveled to Washington annually to support earmarks for the town totaling $27 million. In her two years as governor, Alaska has requested nearly $750 million in special federal spending, by far the largest per-capita request in the nation. While Palin notes she rejected plans to build a $398 million bridge from Ketchikan to an island with 50 residents and an airport, that opposition came only after the plan was ridiculed nationally as a "bridge to nowhere."
PALIN: "There is much to like and admire about our opponent. But listening to him speak, it's easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or reform — not even in the state senate."
THE FACTS: Compared to McCain and his two decades in the Senate, Obama does have a more meager record. But he has worked with Republicans to pass legislation that expanded efforts to intercept illegal shipments of weapons of mass destruction and to help destroy conventional weapons stockpiles. The legislation became law last year. To demean that accomplishment would be to also demean the work of Republican Sen. Richard Lugar of Indiana, a respected foreign policy voice in the Senate. In Illinois, he was the leader on two big, contentious measures in Illinois: studying racial profiling by police and requiring recordings of interrogations in potential death penalty cases. He also successfully co-sponsored major ethics reform legislation.
PALIN: "The Democratic nominee for president supports plans to raise income taxes, raise payroll taxes, raise investment income taxes, raise the death tax, raise business taxes, and increase the tax burden on the American people by hundreds of billions of dollars."
THE FACTS: Obama would provide $80 billion in tax breaks, mainly for poor workers and the elderly, including tripling the Earned Income Tax Credit for minimum-wage workers and higher credits for larger families. He also would raise income taxes, capital gains and dividend taxes on the wealthiest. He would raise payroll taxes on taxpayers with incomes above $250,000, and he would raise corporate taxes. Small businesses that make more than $250,000 a year would see taxes rise.
FORMER MASSACHUSETTS GOV. MITT ROMNEY: "We need change, all right — change from a liberal Washington to a conservative Washington! We have a prescription for every American who wants change in Washington — throw out the big-government liberals, and elect John McCain and Sarah Palin."
THE FACTS: A Back-to-the-Future moment. George W. Bush, a conservative Republican, has been president for nearly eight years. And until last year, Republicans controlled Congress. Only since January 2007 have Democrats have been in charge of the House and Senate.
For someone who's trying to make a claim as a political outsider, she sure has the rhetoric and BS down. For the full article I quoted from above see: Attacks, praise stretch truth at GOP convention

Good Call Obama
Experience: This is of course the area that everyone says Obama is weak in. He's been in office since the early 70's. unlike Palin who's the governor of a state about as far away as you can get, and only served a couple years in office. Biden as been around Washington long enough to know how the system works.
He's the chairman of the Foreign Relations committee: In this day and age of most countries not liking the U.S. it's a good idea to have someone who knows how to work with other countries.
Supports the rail system: Biden takes the Amtrak back and forth to work each day. In an age of ever increase airline ticket prices, rude service, and long lines, I would love to see an increased focus on the rail system and using it as an alternative. Biden co-sponsored the Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act of 2007 showing that he backs it up.
Hard on crime: All the conservatives and republicans who think a Democrat can't be hard on crime should look at Biden. He authored the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, which actually expanded the federal death penalty. That's right, he helped give us approximately 60 more reasons why a person should be put to death.
He believes in such a thing as global warming: Unlike Palin he actually accepts the scientific study and believes that humans are having a negative impact on the planet. He's backed this up by co-sponsoring the the Global Warming Pollution Reduction Act. He also supports reinstating the Superfund fees so that polluters pay for the cleanup of toxic sites, not taxpayers.
Only has three children: Unlike Palin who believes in popping out babies as often as she takes a crap, Biden actually stopped at three.
Just like Palin has one positive (financial conservative) , Biden has a few negatives. One of which is his hard stance on narcotics. Biden is one of those politicians that believes all drugs are bad, not knowing that most drugs are harmless. He doesn't realize that the war on drugs is a complete waste of money and that most should be made legal, and taxed for extra revenue.

Bad Call McCain
She's a hypocrite: This seems to be the party platform for Republicans lately. "Do what I say not what I do." She's in favor of teaching abstinence in school instead of safe sex, yet her 17 year old daughter is pregnant. I guess she doesn't teach it at home. Not only that, the daughter was impregnated by an 18 year old. Some states in the union might consider that rape. Apparently Alaska isn't one of them.
She's against abortion in all cases, including incest and rape: Apparently she's never heard the nature nurture debate. Lets start with nature. Many people who have never met their natural parents pick up many of their traits or characteristics. Well, one of this kids parents is a rapist, potentially leading to the child being the same. On the nurture side, this child might be raised by the mother. A mother who sees the rapist father in the eyes of the baby.
She is pro-death for felons: I agree with her on this, but it is a little hypocritical. It's okay to kills someone after they've killed someone else, but not before they are born and grow up to become a dysfunctional member of society.
She believes creationism should be taught in school instead of evolution: I wonder if she's ever heard of the concept, "separation of church and state"? Last I checked the taxes I pay, which are collected by the government, go towards my local public school. And last I checked creationism comes straight from the bible and religion.
She has five children: I've always believed there is something wrong with people who have to many children. Also it appears she wasn't aware that the older you get, when you do have children, the odds of something abnormal happening increase. For example, having a child with down syndrome
She doesn't believe humans are having a negative impact on the planet (global warming): that's right, 99.9 percent of the climate scientists are telling is this if a fact, but she doesn't need to worry about that, she lives in Alaska and knows that what happens here on earth doesn't matter, because everything will be fine in heaven. The place conservative Republicans go when they die.
She opposes listing the polar bear as endangered: Because if that were to happen it might interfere with her plans to stick drilling rigs all over the state of Alaska.
She fires anyone who disagrees with her: As governor, and mayor before that, she has set the standard that people better fall in line our they will be cut. That's not a good way to govern, because at some point you surround yourself with "yes men", and don't always hear all point of view. check out this article in the Seattle Times for some examples
Experience: Isn't this the reason Republicans are saying Obama shouldn't be president? Hey, he's got twice as much experience as her, and at least it's in Washington D.C. with the other politicians. She's got two years as a governor in Alaska. She didn't even get into politics until 1992, where she was on the city council of Wasilla Alaska. Ever heard of it? Me neither…
About the only thing I agree with her on is that she's a fiscal conservative. In Alaska she has done an excellent job of managing the budget, and cutting waste. But this one positive hardly balances out the many negatives she brings to the McCain ticket.
9/4/08 Corrections to this post:
Above I stated she "She believes creationism should be taught in school instead of evolution" This turns out not to be true. According to an article in the Anchorage Daily New, she is
quoted as saying that she believes creationism should be allowed to be discussed in school, that it should not be a taboo subject. I have no problem with her stance on this.
As The Rooster pointed out in one of his comments, I did make up the 99.9% figure when referring to scientists who believe in human caused global warming. Although the majority do believe this is a fact. According to The Roosters response it's more like 82%. I think that number is outdated and the current number to be much higher. After watching her acceptance speech, it appears I am correct in my statement as to her belief on the subject of global warming.

Thursday, July 1, 2004 - Denver's first introduction to running back Tatum Bell gave the Broncos and their fans a glimpse into unbridled confidence. When told he couldn't have the jersey No. 7 that he wore during four outstanding seasons at Oklahoma State, he turned to No. 26. Never mind the fact that Clinton Portis recently took that jersey to back-to-back seasons with more than 1,400 yards; to Bell, the traded running back was "out of the picture." Just minutes after his selection, Bell shared his plans with the world.

Friday, July 2, 2004 - You might not think overseeing ticket operations for a team that has sold out every home game since 1970 would be too tough. But when your tenure includes trips to two Super Bowls plus moving more than 23,000 season ticket account holders to a brand new stadium like Rick Nichols has, you've seen plenty of challenges. This week you had the chance to ask about the team's ticket situation and policies with the Broncos Vice President of Ticket Operations/Business Development.
Scouting the AFC West: Defensive Line - SDBoltReport.com - Byran Martin
Jul 2, 2004 - 1. Denver Broncos - Denver should have one of the best defensive lines in all of football. Not only could their front line start for just about anyone, but their second string - although old - is very experienced and should help guys like Darius Holland and Reggie Hayward tremendously.


text: The 2009 stimulus law got the ball rolling, allowing the agency to reduce and eliminate fees and raise loan guarantees to 90 percent of the total. I knew that we had the opportunity to use S.B.A. products to fill that gap in a rapid manner, as we ended up doing in the Recovery Act.

In part 1 of this "Beating the ETF" series, we looked at the wildly higher performance results achieved by taking the largest holdings of nine sector ETFs versus using the ETFs. Our results were clear. Owning the few top positions in the ETFs far outperformed simply holding the ETF basket itself. The only catch is that you have to use the top positions today, not from 5 years ago! So, what is really going on here? On the most basic level you have firms that have, for whatever reason, grown larger than their peers. Over time, they become a larger portion of the sector ETF due to this outperformance. If this increase in market cap occurred during the time you are looking at it, the performance of that stock will always 'look good'.
If there are groups of securities inside an ETF, especially the largest in terms of percentage of a particular ETF, we want to identify them in hopes of leading us to other alpha-generating strategies. We don't want to bore you with exhaustive lists of performance data. Instead, we will look at a single example and see what we can infer about this effect.
What is under the hood of XLK that would cause the top few holdings to blow away the ETF? XLK's major holdings are Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) (14.13%), IBM (NYSE:IBM) (8.43%), Microsoft (7.57%) and AT&T (NYSE:T) (6.63%). Below you can see what happened.
AAPL and IBM blew away the basket while MSFT and T were just lagging placeholders of XLK. An equal weighted portfolio of the four stocks would have made 112% versus 17% for the ETF. You can see that the results would have been even more dramatic if we just stuck to the top two stocks rather than drag things down with MSFT and T. This is also the reason hindsight is 20/20. Are you willing to bet AAPL will continue to perform as it has over the past five years? The more important question was if it was 14% of XLK five years AGO? It wasn't. In fact, AAPL was only 2.43% back on 8/29/2006. So, we can't really use this data to make money going forward unless you presume momentum will continue. This did happen with XLE. XOM and CVX both remain in the top two positions and did outperform the ETF.
Below is a chart of what happened with the 2006 top four.
As you can see you would have still done better with a total performance of 34.10%.
You would think that risk and return would stay somewhat constant considering the high correlation, but the beta was actually slightly lower for the equal weighted portfolio. We wouldn't read too much into this. Risk and reward are rarely stable outside of the halls of university finance departments.
The bottom line is that if you have a crystal ball you can throw a dart at a few top holdings of an ETF and get lucky. The key seems to be picking the time when momentum is favoring that sector. However, momentum must continue. We see that while momentum persisted in XLK, it was not the slam dunk of using today's top holdings in lieu of 2006 top holdings.
Some might say this suggests larger companies gain more market share during good times. Also, we could go further and find fundamental reasons why a stock has significantly outperformed. Come on, you don't know why AAPL outperformed MSFT? One sells lots of cool stuff at a premium and the other has been moribund for over a decade. What we need is a methodology to identify top performers (good luck!) with a hedge. Why? That is called seeking alpha versus generating beta.
Disclosure: I am long AAPL.

Home > About Us > Newsroom > Rutland Regional Launches Virtual Tours
Published on March 11, 2015
Rutland Regional Medical Center announced today a new online tool designed to introduce the community to two of the hospital's specialty service areas. Virtual tours are now available online of the Foley Cancer Center and the Rutland Heart Center.
Rutland Regional's online tours provide a stunning 360 degree visual presentation with informative descriptions of the surroundings, services and tests provided at the Foley Cancer Center and Rutland Heart Center. The self-guided tours enable visitors to explore specialty testing areas and learn about procedures, visit patient exam rooms and familiarize themselves with the services provided.
"We designed the virtual tours so the community can have a better understanding of what they will see when they walk through the doors of the Foley Cancer Center or Rutland Heart Center," said Tom Huebner, CEO and President of Rutland Regional Medical Center. "We know the unfamiliar surroundings and equipment at a hospital can cause feelings of fear and anxiety in patients. The goal of this new tool is to prepare patients for what they will see and feel and clarify any misconceptions they may have about the upcoming experience."
The virtual tours have been added to Rutland Regional's website in the About Us section.
Established in 1896, Rutland Regional is the second largest hospital in Vermont and is a not–for–profit organization dedicated to improving the health of families and individuals.
Rutland Regional's commitment to quality patient care has been recognized locally and nationally by becoming the first hospital in Vermont to receive both the Governor's Award for Performance Excellence and Magnet Recognition® for quality patient care, nursing excellence and innovation. Rutland Regional has also been recognized by the Joint Commission as a Top Performer on Key Quality Measures and was honored with an "A" grade by The Leapfrog Group an independent industry watchdog, in the Fall 2014 Hospital Safety Score, which rates how well hospitals protect patients from errors, injuries and infections.
