Health IT leaders meet to progress Five Year Forward View
Article posted on: February 24, 2016
General agreement reached that all sectors need to work closer together to expedite change, by learning from past errors.
[London, UK] Implementation of the Five Year Forward View was the main theme of the UK e-Health Week Roundtable this week that brought together health leaders from both the private and public sector.
The discussion, which included influential figures such as Beverley Bryant, Director of Digital Technology; Jane Barnacle, Director of Patients and Information, London; Jane Dwelly, Head of Health and Care Innovation and Susan Aitkenhead, Head of Nursing at NHS England focused on two priority areas: the "back office" of joining up systems by making them paperless and the "front office" of enabling citizens and patients to be more in control of their care. During the discussions there was a clear consensus that now was the time to stop the talking and instead work on making it happen on the ground.
Plans to develop a standards based information sharing initiative in London were discussed, as well as the importance of front line staff capturing data and looking for unwarranted variations. Upcoming developments in primary care looked promising and the potential of the new health systems that are starting to emerge through devolution and STPs were welcomed.
Jane Dwelly, Head of Health and Care Innovation, NHS England said: "Innovation means identifying and applying solutions to existing problems in health and care. These must bring about lasting benefits to patients and add value: by improving efficiency, enhancing population health and enabling high quality care.
"Sharpening the focus on the informatics and technologies that are supporting truly transformational change in the way we plan and pay for health and care services is imperative as is using digital tools to underpin immediate plans to bring the NHS into financial balance and, at the same time, setting up new and enduring systems for delivering care."
The discussion also highlighted the importance of common APIs and standards for interoperability, although there was agreement that these must be practical and relevant. There was support for this approach from the private sector leaders such as MedeAnalytics, AGFA, InterSystems, Lexmark and Imprivata.
It was recognised that the collection, access and analysis of data is critical in speeding up the pace of transformation with the Health and Social Care Information Centre, Tech UK and the British Computer Society echoing this view.
Stephen Lieber, President of HIMSS, who gave his view from a global perspective added: "Patients are the same around the world and so it follows that there are some global issues for all health care systems. First, there is the question of infrastructure, the individual healthcare system. Understanding the gaps in each system allows us to take a view on what condition it is in.
"Secondly, there is data. The clinical application of technologies and data is the next step we must all take. These are not top-down IT projects; but clinical projects that all involve technology. Finally, there is professional education. We need to build a case for clinicians to be advocates of IT and technology in all healthcare settings."
There was general agreement that all sectors needed to work closer together to accelerate change but it needed to be done in a smart and practical way by learning from and not repeating the mistakes from the past.
All members of the Roundtable will continue the discussion at UK e-Health Week at Olympia on the 19th and 20th April. Details of the UK e-Health Week Roundtable will be written up in a special supplement jointly published by Commissioning Journal and GM and available in the British Journal of Healthcare Computing in April.

Hey Andy,
Great post ~ will make creating my new tweetdeck group a lot easier!
nice list and excellent choice
Thanks for the include Andy. Love the site. Keep on keeping on!
Also some good follows. @Minervity, @mayhemstudios, @blellow, @TheWebBlend
Great list, a few people I haven't come across yet.
Very lovely list. Looking forward to learning from these guys.
Thanks for including me on the list, its an honor!
WOW I am truly honored to be mentioned with such great people. They are my friends and my heroes, Great people to follow.
Keep up the great work my friend!
Good list – i'm following them already though 🙂
I love the SitePoint bg.
Some of these people are great… However, A lot of them aren't designers and I'm rather puzzled why a few have been featured here.
I wold also like to point out that if your using blogspot you probably aren't a designer.
I find it hard to trust the source when they list "Top" Web Designers" with their Twitter profile linking to a Blogspot?
What one?
you mean woork!! his blog is a very useful one go check it you ll change your idea !
WOW great list.
I'm going to follow these people now.
Thanks for including us.
You missed one!
@dotmariusz ; )
Thought I would add mine It is… @danielbeehn
Great list as always, thanks!
hmmm nice..
Great list. I have a few new people to follow now!
Hey…thanks for the list. Lot of work in pending, got to follow them all on twitter 😉
Well, few days back i also recieved an oerwhelming response on my post "20 Creative Twitter backgrounds & 10 Graphic Designers to follow – Twitter treats!!"
I am sure you will enjoy checking this post as well 🙂 I will be looking forward for more posts.
Great post! Some awesome backgrounds there.
Good list of folks. I bet this does wonders for their follow numbers. I know I added a couple. Keep up the great posts.
99Designs? Really? Not a designer, but rather an insult to them, but hey…whatever works for you…
I mean "nice list" …. sorry, typing error
Sorry, I meant "nice list"… typing error
You've got some great designers on this list – but I was shocked to see 99 Designs included – just my opinion but who want's to follow a business that devalues the entire creative industry? -1 for listing them 🙁
this is my one http://www.twitter.com/thmonline.
judge and add it, please. 😀
I have no doubt that these are great web designers, but to throw together a list like this and use the phrase "top web designers," I feel needs a bit more clarification. Are they top web designers based on financial success? Top web designers that have the most twitter followers? Top web designers as rated on WHAT? I think by establishing some criteria for your stance would make this article a more valuable read for visitors.
But where is Karim Rashid ? :'(
Muy buena seleccion. Justo lo que andaba buscando para mejorar mi twitter following.
Thanks a lot for the mention!
hey guys;
great list of designers! I am a web designer + graphic designer. feel free to add me I will follow you too
WOW – I am utterly speechless. You have the umitigated GALL to add 99Designs to this list??? Not only are they NOT designers, they are ruining the entire creative industry with their highly unethical contests that are actually also ILLEGAL lotteries! The ONLY reason they have not yet been shut down is because they are based out of Australia, not the US. Mark my words though, their time is limited. Just like Dr. Kevorkian, Napster, or The Pirate Bay, you can only get away with breaking the law for so long. The authorities WILL catch up with them eventually. Shame on you for even mentioning them here!! =[
Artists! If you are not already, make sure to follow: @specworking | @nospec | @specwatch – and educate yourself as to why entering illegal "art contests" like this NEVER do you any good!
That said, thx for the rest of the list. Found a few I was not yet following.

Great collections for Web designers
Thanks for the list. It was hard enough trying to keep up when there were just (paper) magazines – now with twitter, its easier in one way, but trying to keep the info avalanche in control is another story 🙂
What about me? Oh, never mind. My Designs really really suck 🙂
Where is StyleIslam !!
Nice list 🙂
And once again another stupid list! There are a couple of OK designers on this list. Mostly they are bloggers and I am disgusted that you feature 99 Designs who are Evil and Exploitive.
I have to ask myself where your motivation for this post lies and what criteria you used to decide on the "top" designers. Affiliate Links, Google page rankings, selling ad space? You should be ashamed.
Hi! Nice choice! I'll check them out to know them better and… who knows? Follow everyone.
Next time I would like to be choosen too.
Good work! Keep on!
Deize ( @dsgnnews)
And Me… ^^ excelent design =p
my twitter view!!!!!!! please !!!!! http://twitter.com/manoel_filho
I hope I can make the next list… @madesigns
my work: http://maustingraphics.com
And me and me! ;)) @puniaf
It seems there aren't many women into 'computer stuff'. I am not saying the list is sexist (most women certainly do not like 'computer stuff') but I would say it is certainly biased and a little short-sighted.
99Designs alone is not a web designer. However there are web designers who sell their logos and ideas extremely cheap and most of the time for nothing to get their name out there. It's frustrating, sad and it's how I really made up the majority of my initial portfolio. 99Designs exploits up and coming designers work and make a huge profit from it.
Smashingmag (the entity) is a magazine for graphic arts but not a graphic designer.
And as much as I love David Airey, he is not a web designer. As far as I know, (don't quote me on this – I may be wrong) he does not code. He is an amazing graphic designer but he only makes logos from what I've seen and read.
There are other artists on the list I certainly agree with but others not so much. I think the reasons of why they're on the list should be posted.
Yeah I agree about the lack of female talent…why isn't Veerle Pieters on that list? She's an amazing designer…although her tweets are a bit boring. She doesn't follow back and mainly tweets about herself, which defeats the purpose of social media…I noticed many of the designers on the list are like that.
When I hear this, I am really becoming a fan of twitter.
Think about including me. @HelenGMc 🙂
would be greate to see yourself in a list like that!
@sunilsk 😀
@kylebrain need to be on this list! He's really talented!
And no non-english designers of course.
Thank you for this list.

I compiled a similar list for some great web design firms in Maryland and DC.
Great Post. A time shall come when having a twitter account will be mandatory for all design firms..
Good List… finnaly im found the list of great designer on twitter. Thanks for your post.
How is Smashing Magazine a top web designer? It's a magazine. Unless your talking about the collective group that writes for Smashing, then ok.
@DeannRie nice tweet!
Great list, however, mashable should be somewhere there in the top.
I like the design of Walter Apai. Actually I didn't know that there are good designs of freelance people in the twitter.
Huge! props from denmark to such a bunch of amazing designers 🙂

PC Speaker Systems: The Essential Buying Guide
There was a time when "good PC speakers" was something of a contradiction in terms. But companies like Cambridge SoundWorks, Klipsch, and Polk Audio have dramatically improved the sonic scene.
The arrival of multichannel sound cards, which support four-, five-, six-, seven-, and now eight-channel output, created a market for multichannel speaker systems. In the late 1990s, the driving application for multichannel audio was the 3-D positional audio in games. This ushered in a new type of sound design for games, which improved players' abilities to interact with imaginary worlds. Noise from a character positioned behind you and to your left would actually come from the left rear speaker, for example.
Initially, most multichannel setups consisted of controlling electronics and five speakers in what were called 4.1 (four dot one) systemsfour speakers positioned with one left/right pair in front of you and the other behind, and a separate floor unit, commonly referred to as a subwoofer (although in most cases, bass speaker is a more accurate term), for low-frequency sounds. The floor unit is the 1 in 4.1. The arrival of DVD-ROM drives and the DVD format's support of Dolby Digital audio brought 5.1 sound cards and speaker systems to the PC. The fifth speaker sits on top or in front of your PC monitor and provides an outlet for Dolby Digital's all-important center-front channel information, which contains nearly all film dialogue. A sixth speakereither a dedicated bass speaker or subwooferis the dot-one. When playing Dolby Digital content (movies, usually), this sixth speaker is the output for the Low Frequency Effects (LFE) channel and delivers rumble effects.
Although you'll hear the bass speaker that comes with many PC speaker sets called a subwoofer, it usually isn't. It reproduces low frequencies, but a real subwoofer is specially designed to handle signals of from roughly 10 to 50 Hzvery low frequencies that are below what typical home audio speakers can properly reproduce. Home systems use subwoofers to beef up low-end response. Crossover circuitry sends signals that are below a certain frequency to the bass speaker or subwoofer, whichever you have. The crossover frequency depends on your speaker system, and some systems let you adjust this value.
The arrival of THX certification brought another level of sophistication to the PC speaker world. Star Wars creator George Lucas founded the company THX to test film playback equipment. The goal was to insure that audiences would get the optimal entertainment experience possible. The company extended its testing to home theater equipment and now even tests PC speakers. Several makers, including Altec Lansing, Cambridge SoundWorks, Klipsch, and Logitech, have speakers that carry the THX seal of approval.


text: The device occurs by itself in some works; in others, it joins the stenciled word. In the painting Voice of 1964–1967, a taut wire reaches like an arm across the canvas to which a slat is affixed. The scrape of the device courses through a field of gray paint in a broad arc (we recall the image of the banded target, signifying sight and touch) that descends on the stenciled word VOICE. The device and its scraped ellipse represent time and space in a wholly abstract, yet empirical, fashion—that is, the time it took to move the device, and the physical trace the device inscribed onto the surface of the work. This is done in the context of yet another dimension, that of sound, abstractly identified by the stenciled object-word. In a painting,"voice"—which is not language per se but the medium of speech—can be named but never heard. In this regard, the power of Voice lies in the way both the capacity and the limitations of the medium of painting are physically demonstrated through the mechanics of producing the work. Indeed, as a proposition, describing what painting can and cannot be—in both literal and allegorical terms—occupies all the works in this exhibition and underscores the significance of the narrative they represent, from target to trace.

I'm currently running hot water over the bottle to get it to thaw out, but I'm worried that by freezing the oil has been ruined. Does freezing ruin jojoba oil and do I need to order some new stuff? The oil still forms the numerous small bubbles when shaken, but the oil seems a little runny or watery when dispensed. Of course, it could naturally be that way.

East Lansing Amtrak Station on MSU Property Gets $6 Million Federal Grant For Expansion
P.D. Lesko
This is not satire. Those who support alternative transportation and expanded transit should read it and weep.
Elected officials in East Lansing, Michigan—along with officials at Michigan State University—recently showed how real Democrats do transit expansion. First, you reuse the city's current station. Then, you apply and win a multi-million dollar federal grant and use it to pay for the expansion and refurbishment. Then, you turn toward Ann Arbor, and have a hearty laugh at the mayor who recently bragged to the local newspaper: "I don't know of a single city that does more than ours for alternative transportation." He said this while inaugurating a $50 million dollar underground parking garage, complete with more foreign-made glass and materials than a Heinkle He-177. He said this while the air quality in Ann Arbor hasn't been in compliance with EPA standards since 2005. He said this while Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) for the City of Ann Arbor increased by 9.8 percent from 2000 to 2010, from an estimated 481,607,203 miles to 529,238,685, according to data compiled by WATS.
The Lansing State Journal is reporting that: "The city's train station, which now services Amtrak travel near the intersection of Harrison and Trowbridge roads, will be upgraded using a federal grant worth $6.3 million, federal, state and local officials said today. The grant will fund a portion of the $10.5 million project, which will add bus bays and improve parking for taxis, rental cars and bike sharing. It also will incorporate a stop for Megabus, which recently added an East Lansing stop along a route that includes stops in Detroit, Chicago and Grand Rapids….Michigan State University owns the train station property and leases a portion to the Capital Area Rail Authority, which is managed by CATA, said Fred Poston, MSU's vice president for finance and operations."
In February 2012, frustrated University of Michigan officials pulled out of a 2009 transit hub partnership with city officials and returned to their plan to put up parking towers in the middle of a Ward 1 neighborhood on Wall Street, directly across from the Kellogg Eye Center. Perhaps, not coincidentally, John Hieftje's name no longer appears on the U of M list of faculty, though his wife continues to work part-time for the University of Michigan School of Music.
While East Lansing pols use federal grants to get the job done, Ann Arbor pols are using a $2.6 million dollar federal grant to do an environmental study to determine if parking and transit will have an adverse impact on a fragile river front parcel of parkland. The contract for the study was awarded to the same company (JJR) that did the secret impact study of several popular city parks that identified the Fuller Road park as the "best" site for a transit center. Then, JJR landed a $660,000 contract to design the structure to go on the parkland site they identified as perfect for a transit center. Let's guess what the fine folks at JJR will conclude about any possible environmental impacts of transit by the building they designed on the parkland site they identified as perfect for a construction site.
Welcome to Ann Arbor politics, where single-source contracts to companies with clear conflicts of interest are how business is done, money and contracts are handed to political pals, and taxpayers are bamboozled. Ann Arbor's elected officials have been trying to sell the public a bill of goods that use of the current Amtrak station just isn't possible. They want to spend more local tax dollars to build a grandiose new transit center, complete with hundreds of thousands of dollars diverted for art projects.
Ward 2 Council member Tony Derezinski is a public-private partnership cheerleader, who favors spending big bucks to build new. He recently announced he was "proud" of the city's parks, but still favors using a parcel of Fuller Road river front parkland as a construction site for a new Amtrak train. Derezinski told voters at the 2012 League of Women Voters candidate forum: "We really do need a new site because the present site won't work. That was looked at as a possibility and rejected. So you shouldn't offer false hope." He said this in response to opponent Sally Hart Petersen. Petersen supports upgrading and expanding facilities at the current Amtrak station.
Ward 4 incumbent Margie Teall, at the same League of Women Voters event, said she thought the river front park "an ideal location for a rail station." Ward 4 challenger Jack Eaton disagrees. He favors expansion of the current Amtrak station, as well. Ward 5 candidate Vivienne Armentrout, and Ward 1 candidate Sumi Kailasapathy, like Eaton and Petersen, favor the more fiscally conservative and ecologically friendly solution of reusing and refurbishing the present Amtrak station.
The local chapter of the Sierra Club has come out strongly against using the Fuller Road parkland for parking or transit.
Hieftje and his Demublican cronies have frittered away over $6.6 million dollars on, among other things, single-source, no-bid contracts in a grandiose and unrealized plan to expand local transit. University of Michigan officials, frustrated, pulled out of a partnership with the city to expand transit hammered out in 2009.
Meanwhile in East Lansing: "The grant will fund a portion of the $10.5 million project, which will add bus bays and improve parking for taxis, rental cars and bike sharing….Design and engineering of the building could take between three and six months. Construction is projected to take about a year, although an official groundbreaking date hasn't been set. That said, officials estimate the project could be finished by the end of 2013." Will Ann Arbor have an expanded Amtrak station by 2013 paid for, for the most part, with federal dollars?
John Hieftje and his Marx Brothers Council Majority have already wasted more in local tax dollars and federal funding on studies, designs and sole source contracts than East Lansing is expected to spend to complete that city's expansion of their current Amtrak Station.

A proposed pipeline through the Kentucky heartland needs more time and study, according to an coalition of Christian denominations in the Bluegrass State.
"We all, together and as individuals, have a moral duty to assess the impact of the proposed transport system on the health, safety and economic well-being of the people, flora and fauna of Kentucky, as well as present and future impacts on our land and water resources," said the Kentucky Council of Churches, in a commentary published Thursday at Kyforward.com.
The council includes 12 Christian denominations, including the four Catholic dioceses in the state, and represents roughly 800,000 people.
The pipeline in question, the Bluegrass Pipeline, would touch parts of 8 states as it carries natural gas liquids from Pennsylvania and Ohio, through a large portion of Kentucky, on its way to the Gulf Coast. The liquids, also known as NGLs, would then ship overseas for production of plastics, synthetics and rubber.
While the Council of Churches did not say it opposes the pipeline at this point, the Sisters of Loretto of Marion County, Ky., and the Trappist monks at the Abbey of Gethsemani in Trappist, Ky., have joined a grassroots movement to stop the pipeline's construction. While the Loretto sisters have successfully blocked the pipeline's proposed path from crossing their property, they continue to seek its blockage in all of Kentucky.
[Read NCR's previous coverage of the Lorettos' and Trappists' opposition to the pipeline.]
Instead, the council has urged further review before further development and land acquisition move forward. That includes close examination of the risks as well as the benefits a pipeline would carry along with its contents. Among the risks it pointed out was that the pipeline's proposed construction route would carry toxic liquids across 700-plus surface waterways and any leakage-causing damage to it could contaminate drinking water and pollute nearby ecosystems.
"As of yet, there is no promise of a thorough impact study that would systematically pose and answer questions such as those we are raising," the council said. "This study is necessary to help the public and our representatives make good decisions. A matter of this seriousness requires a process of well-informed and transparent deliberation. We owe each other this respect."
They called for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to lead such a review and produce an environmental impact statement for the project.
In addition, it advocated a guarantee of authoritative oversight, so that the "lines of accountability are clear, and that the entity given oversight has the authority needed to ensure that accountability." It requested state legislators establish a siting board to oversee any potential pipeline and impose conditions to mitigate any risks associated with it.

Deus Ex
Review by red caliph
"I cannot hype this game enough"
So what happens when you cross System Shock, Metal Gear Solid, and Thief?
First things first. Deus Ex is the greatest game ever made for the PC. It goes hand in hand with Metal Gear Solid and Chrono Trigger as the definitive games of their era in a genre. Yes, believe every amount of hype the rags have given Deus Ex and Warren Spector and even Ion Storm, because this game is better than all of that.
Where to begin? Let's start with the storyline. You are JC Denton, an experimental cybernetic soldier who works for the United Nations Anti Terrorist Coalition (UNATCO). You are the second of these soldiers to be made, the first being your brother Paul. You are conscripted by UNATCO to retrieve a shipment of a vaccine for a plague called the Grey Death that has been ravaging the United States of America. The shipment has been stolen by a terrorist organization called the NSF who is bent on starting a second American Revolution. Too say anymore about the story would be giving it away, but let's just say there's more plot twists in an hour of Deus Ex than a whole season of the X-Files. Two hours into the game, you won't know who to trust or who's controlling who anymore.
The plot of Deus Ex is the best seen in a videogame, period, and could actually be considered literature.
The graphics in this game are fantastic. I mean, c'mon, it's based on the Unreal Tournament engine. Everything is beautiful. Of course, being based on UT, it performs less than perfect on Direct 3d systems (c'mon Epic, who buys those crappy Voodoo cards anymore? No one who knows what they're talking about.), but with a few tweaks, you should have it running in 800x600 in 32-bit color even on a mid range system. Only remark about this is that the gore, in order not to be over the top like UT and be realistic is sometimes TOO little. I mean, c'mon, if I walk up to someone and shoot them in the back of the head with a shotgun loaded with slugs from point blank range, would we really see a little blood splatter and them fall down? I doubt it.
Sound is great. The music is fantastic, 3d audio is always excellent, and sound makes a huge factor in how the game plays out. The sound effects are great, and nothing beats unloading into someone with a shotgun if you have a subwoofer. Voice overs are very very good. Only complaint is that JC is too damn emotionless. I know he's supposed to be hard as nails, but c'mon. If he showed as much emotion as Solid Snake, we would all love him that much more.
Gameplay is simply flawless. Difficulty levels are intelligent, and weapons behave like you would expect them too. Enemies are not quite as responsive as they would be in real life, for playability's sake, but sometimes you forget it's only a game. The skill levels make a huge difference in how you play the game, and the whole game does the RPG thing better than even System Shock 2. Stealth is the reccommended option, because enemies have some bad firepower as well. Stealth is just as good in Deus Ex as it is in Thief.
Replayability is fantastic. you will replay this game, and replay this game, and replay this game, because it is VERY open ended. The story line is completely non linear, and you will find so many different paths and endings to this game. Unfortunately, I cannot talk about them for fear of giving parts of the game away, but trust me, there are major differences and you will be satisfied.
So Deus Ex? If you have a computer, buy it. If you don't have a computer, buy one. Deus Ex is probably the greatest game ever made, and it is certainly a reason to fall in love with PC gaming all over again.
Visuals: 10 (characters lip-synch... excellent)
Sound: 10 (great 3d positional audio and music)
Gameplay: 10 (System Shock 2 x 100)
Storyline: 10 (14? 15? absolutely riveting)
Replayability: 10 (wow. i mean, wow.)
Multiplayer: n/a (a mod is in the works, however, and looks to be really really good)
Overall: 10 (best game ever for PC. bar none.)
Reviewer's Rating: 5.0 - Flawless

"Chalk Ridge" SV Hawkes Bay Syrah 2014
GOLD MEDAL - "The essense of Hawkes Bay syrah"
Winemakers Notes
This wine is based on our Chalk Ridge block, just to the south of Havelock North. It is a steep, north facing amphitheatre that is strewn with fossilised limestone. A dash of Viognier from the same block (1.53%) was co-fermented with the Syrah to add fragrance and to help fix the colour. A small amount of Gimblett Gravels Syrah was also included to add more complexity. The wine spent around 12 months in new and seasoned French oak before assemblage and bottling on Dec 4th 2015.
Tasting Notes
Already approachable, but we expect this wine to cellar for a number of years.
Food Matches
The soft tannins, ripe fruit flavours, black pepper and spice make this wine a great accompaniment to many meat dishes such as lamb, venison, beef and game. The bolder and more complex style means that it will stand up to richer flavours and accompaniments.
Suggested wine list description
A rich and full-bodied wine full of dark fruit flavours with lashings of black pepper and a long savoury finish.
Independent Reviewer's Comment
"Dark, with an invitingly fragrant, aromatic bouquet (1.5% viognier) of violets, boysenberry and licorice. Fresh, with intense, ripe plum and spice flavours, vibrant, silky-textured and long. Fine value." Michael Cooper

We investigate in stable strange hadronic matter (SHM) the modifica- tion of the masses of the scalar (sigma,sigma') and the vector (omega,phi) mesons. The baryon ground state is treated in the relativistic Hartree approximation in the nonlinear sigma-omega and linear sigma'- phi model. In stable SHM, the masses of all the mesons reveal considerable reduction due to large vacuum polarization contribution from the hyperons and small density dependent effects caused by larger binding.

Thursday's Baton Rouge Symphony Orchestra concert at the River Center Theatre followed an American theme. The evening's selections, however, weren't necessarily composed by Americans.
Czech composer Antonin Dvorák wrote his Symphony No. 9 in E minor ("From the New World") in 1893, during his three-year stay in the United States. In many ways the symphony is thoroughly European, Bohemian and Romantic, but the influence of American music upon the work is also clear.
Conductor Timothy Muffitt led the orchestra through Dvorák's Symphony No. 9 in the concert's second half. The music's mix of European Romanticism and orchestral sophistication with Dvorák's plaintive, spiritual-inspired melody yields the best of both worlds. It's also stirring music, a quality that Muffitt and the Baton Rouge Symphony always seem prepared to express.
African-American influence in the symphony is especially clear in its first movement. The composer handily shifts the movement's spiritual-inspired melody from instrument to instrument, section to section, from major to minor key and, of course, soft to loud.
The nostalgic melody in Symphony No. 9's quieter, slower second movement also suggests American music, but more the songs of Stephen Foster, which were the pop songs of their day, than something as profound as a spiritual. Muffitt and the symphony players still performed the music with gravitas worthy of the concert hall.
From one ninth symphony to another, the third movement of Dvorák's Ninth, a dramatic scherzo, likely is more inspired by the composer's homeland and his Germanic predecessor, Beethoven, especially the edgy second movement of Beethoven's Ninth, than anything from America.
Dvorák created a bombastic concluding movement for his Ninth Symphony, courtesy in large part to a mighty main theme played by horns and trumpets. The movement occupies a justifiably recognizable spot in the symphonic repertoire and Muffitt's interpretation effectively exploited the music's big buildups, tension and suspense.
The orchestra performed music by two American composers during the concert's first half, Samuel Barber's "First Essay for Orchestra," Op. 12, and Brian Gaber's "Ancestral Waters."
Barber's "First Essay," a piece of much solemnity, lived up to the brevity suggested by its title. Despite the work's inclusion of some Aaron Copland-esque brass, a dark, heavy atmosphere dominated the piece.
Thursday's guest artist, Memphis mezzo-soprano Allison Sanders, joined the orchestra for Gaber's "Ancestral Waters," a work that mixed conventional classical and Romantic styles with American gospel and jazz.
Sanders, singing with dark, velvety tone, appeared in the three-movement work's deepest, loveliest sections. She also hummed for the second movement, "Prayer." But a sheet music-reading jazz trio assembled for the performance, featuring electric guitar, upright acoustic bass and a drum set, was underwhelming.

Walt Disney Pictures produced this ambitious, animated tale of sorcery and swordfighting. Taran (voice of Grant Bardsley), is an assistant to Dallben (voice of Freddie Jones), a pigkeeper in the mythical land of Prydain. Taran longs to be a knight, and he's given his chance to live out his dream when he is sent out in search of a magical black cauldron which can either be a powerful instrument of good or a bottomless fount of evil, depending entirely upon who should find it. However, Taran is not the only one in search of this talisman -- the Horned King (voice of John Hurt) wants the cauldron to shore up his sinister powers and raise an army of the dead, and with the help of the all-seeing pig Hen-Wren, the wicked one may make his hideous plans a reality.

I met Mike Rowan through atty referrals services in West Chester. I was being sued for Breach of Contract, which by the way I did not breach. The case did go to a three day trial, which I could have never done without the knowledge and experience of Mike Rowan. I was fortunate to have the facts and law on my side, but it isn't really all about that when being sued. You need a good lawyer.....Mike Rowan was that lawyer. We won every pre trial motion, and his courtroom work was thorough and complete. We don't have a decision yet........but I am confident we did prevail with the facts and truth and will be awarded. His assistant is invaluable too, and I would use his services again, hoping of course I never need a lawyer again. I loved the guy! He didn't ever give up, sometimes calming me down. Being sued is an uncomfortable process, he made it much more calm. I give Mike an A plus.

HOUSTON - With a full slate of stars and nearly more cameras on the sidelines than people, the Texans and Atlanta Falcons' joint practices have been entertaining and productive.
"I believe we're a better team than we were three days ago," Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said. "And I think having these two practice sessions against Atlanta really helped our team."
On Thursday, the headlines were dominated by a gesture that didn't occur on the gridiron. The City of Houston proclaimed Aug. 14 "Texans For DQ Day," a tribute to Texans' offensive lineman David Quessenberry, who's battling lymphoma.
"It's pretty incredible what a city can do. It wasn't just us as ballplayers, it was the entire city and organization, and all the fans being able to get behind this and gain some traction and obviously it got to the mayor's office and they wanted to be able to make it official so it speaks a lot for DQ," said Texans center Chris Myers.
A few weeks ago, the entire franchise had shirts made to show their support and raise awareness in the fight against lymphoma. On Thursday, fans joined the coaches and players by donning their support for DQ with shirts. Even the Falcons got in on the trend.
"For the whole city of Houston to come out and be able to show their support for DQ and our brothers from Atlanta, the Falcons, come out and show their support as well, it means a lot," Myers said.
Offensive Tackle Derek Newton said, "You never want to be alone in this situation, so when you've got so many organizations, coaches and fans doing it throughout the league, it's great, man; love the support."

Skull Tattoo
Once the domain of renegades and outlaws, the skull tattoo has gained a certain level of popularity in recent years. The skull tattoo has historically been a symbol of death and our own mortality. And unlike other tattoo symbols, the skull tattoo retains it's symbolism no matter what culture your in. Historically, the skull was a popular symbol of triumph over the enemy, and a warning to the people defeated in battle. Collections of skulls might be stacked by the victors in public places, as an obvious declaration of victory and grim reminder of the losses of the vanquished.
It was also worn as a trophy and even drunk out of by conquering kings. In New Guinea, skulls were placed in the rafters of the medicine house as a reminder of death always present in life. There are various forms of skull tattoos available to those interested. There is the familiar pirate insignia called a "Jolly Roger" and the military symbol called a "Death Head Skull". The difference between the two is quite simple. The Jolly Roger has the bones coming out of the side of the skull. The Death Head skull is placed upon 4 inter-crossed bones. And of course there are probably thousands of variations on these themes, so it's quite easy to find the skull tattoo that best suits you.
Skull Tattoo Designs
Here we have a series of very interesting skull tattoo designs. Many different ones that may or may not carry some sort of common theme between them but they all look pretty cool in their own right. We've got the rich man skull, the dagger skull, the eight ball skull, the beer dispenser skull, the mace skull and a few other nearly indescribable designs. These are really sharp, hip, slick and cool designs that you don't really see that often. At least I don't.
Most of these skull tattoo designs seem to have a common theme of fun things to do, but how nasty and even scary looking skulls can be related to fun things, I am not sure. And certainly the large, winged dagger near the center of the page is not a tool for fun, or should I say not a tool for fun…for normal people. Maybe it is for others, but not for me. Even though I like all of these designs I can't see where I would ever get one. They're all just a little too far out for me man. But very cool skull tattoo designs just the same.
Skulls Tattoos
When it comes to skulls tattoos this one is much more colorful than what you would normally see. Usually these type of tattoos are one or two shades of color at the most but this one has many shades of color. A lot of the spoiled flesh, rotten skin type of colors like this was suppose to be a picture of some kind of zombie. And maybe that is precisely what it is meant to be. Who knows. But it is not a very frightening one at all. A little creepy, yes but not really scary at all.
I think, quite possibly that the color has something to do with that as well.
I personally like the skulls tattoos almost very time I see one. I just think they are cool and usually they look cool, no matter who they are on. And I tend to like the wilder ones better than others. The wilder the better. Hard, mean, crazy and scary is how I like to see my skulls tattoos. I want to see them where you would swear they are about to jump off that guys arm and come right at you. Now, that's cool man.
Skull Tattoo
A skull tattoo is a skull tattoo, right? Wrong. There are so many different things a good artist can do with a skull that there really is not enough space on this page to explain it all but we'll try to give you an idea just the same. Some have flames coming out of them while others have daggers sticking in them and the list goes on and on. This one in particular has some wild red bloodshot eyes and it's mouth is open as if it were ready to take a bite out of anyone who comes too close.
Most of us consider a skull to be a bit of a creepy or ghostly thing but that is not every body. Some people find skulls to be fun and friendly looking. That may be hard to believe but it is true. Some people attach the symbolism of death and decay to skulls while others may attach the symbolism of life, at some level, after death. Or even the same symbolism of death and such but as it refers to happening to you and not them. In other words if I am wearing a skull tattoo stay away from me. Obviously skull tattoos became synonymous with biker gangs in the 60's and 70's and while a lot of that is gone now, a lot remains.
Skull Tattoo Designs
I find this to be one of the more interesting skull tattoo designs I have seen lately. Most of us recognize the words from the famous song. War, what is a good for? Absolutely nothing! Say it again! And so on and so on. And so this is meant to be an anti-war tattoo which also explains the crosses around the skull as well as the tear that is dropping from one of the skulls eyes. But either way, this as one of those skull tattoo designs, is just flat out cool looking man. It really is.
And it doesn't matter if it stands for war or against war. It's still a great looking piece of artwork. I love the way the artist was able to make this whole thing look like chrome. Very good work here.
This is a very cool and very imaginative design and I like it very much. It's a great diversion from all the other skull tattoo designs that one usually sees. You know, the ones that look like real skulls. Many of them are so much the same that they get boring but not this one. This one has a look and style of its very own.
Skull Tattoos
Like most other tattoo designs, the skull tattoo is a design that has different meaning to different people and cultures. Let's take a look at what many consider to be the ultimate symbol of human mortality. While once only considered only a sign of rebellion, the symbolism behind the skull tattoo is often more positive than negative. In the Tarot deck, for example, the Death card, often pictured as a skull,skeleton or crossbones is a symbol of change, both good and bad. The skull tattoo can also show the victory of death over life and the transience of the human existence.
but the negative impact can be tempered by the belief of some that part of a person's soul can survive death and triumph. At the same time, it can be a sign of machismo, proof that the wearer of the skull tattoo understand and accepts his or her fate. The skull image is used in several religious cultures. The Indian god Kali is pictured with skulls in her wrathful form. Within the Kabbalistic tree of life, the skull symbolizes not death but rebirth, and is a celebration, not mournful time. Regardless of your reasons for getting a skull tattoo, this design can be one that can be both ominous and inspirational at the same time.
Skull Tattoos
Some skull tattoos are immediately recognized for what they stand for, such as this one. It is that of a Nazi skull and why someone would wear this one on their body is beyond me, but to each his own. Perhaps this tattoo is on the arm of a white supremacist or someone like that. It is certainly not a tattoo that many people would find tasteful in any way.
After all the only thing the Nazi's really stand for in hindsight are the deaths of many millions of innocent people and what might be considered the darkest days in the modern history of man. Still, people have the right to their own beliefs and for a society such as ours to work as it does, these rights must be respected. They don't have to be liked but they do need to be respected. So consider that carefully before you simply shrug it off and close your mind to it. For it is without that respect and without that right of free speech, that entire societies fall into utter chaos. Skull tattoos can be very cool, but I would not put one of a Nazi skull up high on that list.
Skulls Tattoos
Skull tattoos are a design that have many meanings and can be drawn in many different ways. Skull tattoos can be a symbol of protection, strength and power. For some people who already experienced danger, it can also be a symbol of overcoming death, danger or a tough time. For those people who have overcome trials, it can be a symbol for a past life, now changed, never to revert. Skulls can also be a reminder of death and bad behavior. Although the skull tattoo may appear to resemble a negative or dangerous design, it does not always mean what it resembles.
The meaning behind a word is as strong as the meaning behind an image. Skull tattoos can be drawn in a variety of different ways. Every person that chooses to have a skull tattooed on their body has a reason and meaning. The skull tattoo in the picture depicts the skull on a tribal design field. It gives the whole design element a primitive and fierce aura around it. This skull tattoo is the perfect example of what can be done with a little imagination, fore thought and a talented tattoo artist. Use it as an example of how to incorporate the skull design into your personal style.

Gov. Rick Perry appointed long-time Lampasas resident Gail Lowe as the new chairwoman of the State Board of Education Friday.
She replaces Don McLeroy, R-Bryan, an ardent creationist whose re-nomination was rejected by the Texas Senate this spring.
Lowe, also a conservative Republican, has served on the 15-member board for seven years.
She's co-publisher of the Lampasas Dispatch Record and is a past trustee for the Lampasas Independent School District.
The governor's office asked her to apply for the position last week, she said.
"I'm sure honored to be asked," Lowe said Friday. "I'm sort of a background person, so from that standpoint, it is somewhat of a surprise. I don't think I'm the person many people expected to be picked."
In recent weeks, speculation arose that outspoken Cynthia Dunbar, R-Richmond, would be the governor's choice.
Perry said in a statement Friday that Lowe has "shown exemplary leadership and commitment to the education of young Texans."
Lowe has three children, and the youngest attends Lampasas High School. She's also a member of the Lampasas Chamber of Commerce.
"My goals have always been to improve the academic environment for students in Texas public schools," Lowe said. "I will continue that emphasis."
The board's focus for the next six months will be to review the state's social studies curriculum, she said.
Lowe's term expires February 2011.

More research was necessary to establish whether the results also applied to full-term infants, wrote the lead researcher, Atul Singhal, in The Lancet yesterday, but they had important implications.
"Our data lend support to the benefit of relative undernutrition associated with colostrum and breastfeeding very early in infancy in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease," Dr Singhal wrote.
Current practice promoted weight gain in infancy as a way of preventing future disease, but high-nutrient feeding might actually be harmful, he wrote.
Previous research had suggested babies' growth in the uterus was the major influence on later disease risk. But the new finding - the first in humans to link diet in infancy with disease risk - was good news, Dr Singhal said, because it was easier to influence children's nutrient intake after birth than before.
Nick Evans, director of the newborn intensive care unit at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, said the results did not warrant any immediate changes to how premature babies were fed. "Whether it really infers any definite risks, we don't know. It is true that [diabetes] risk increases with higher levels of this marker, but what they haven't actually shown is that these children will actually go on and develop any of these problems, which is the really important thing.
"What they've done is throw up a thing which suggests more research needs to be done in the area, but not something which really suggests we should change what we do."

Bloom Cosmetics Shimmer Lipstick Reviews
Amazing lipstick, a definite must try!The Bloom lipstick is the best lipstick I have tried to date. The one I purchased was Kissable with a Shimmer finish. PROS: One of the great things about this lipstick is that it's very moisturizing. One of the problems I have with lipstick is that they often dry out my lips but it was definitely not a problem with this. CONS: The only downside to this product is the cost. I bought it at...read more $20, which is a bit much for lipstick in my opinion. I've been looking for a replacement lipstick to the one I have but have yet to find one that is more reasonably priced with such excellent quality. Overall: Overall, I think this is a great product and a definite must try if you're looking for a lipstick that won't dry out your lips. Again, I have only tried the Shimmer finish in Kissable and have not tried the other finishes so do not know if it is the same for all Bloom lipsticks. For me, this lipstick has set standards in quality that I now compare all the lipsticks I try with. I would definitely buy this product again. — 8 years, 4 months agoEgeria | 2 reviews

Question: Would you please provide us with some information about Powers of Attorney?
A Power of Attorney is a document in which you can appoint an agent to make financial transactions on your behalf if you are not present to make these transactions.
A Power of Attorney is in effect only during your lifetime. An Executor takes over the management of your estate upon your death. You name the Executor in your Will.
A durable Power of Attorney states that the Power will be in force even if you become subsequently become disabled.
The Power of Attorney form is a form that must be signed before a Notary Public.
The form lists the areas of authority that you delegate. These include real estate transactions, banking transactions and insurance transactions, to name a few. However, the Power of Attorney does not in itself authorize the agent to make unlimited gifts.
A Power of Attorney can be personalized to indicate the authority to make gifts and the limits, if any, on this authority.
A general Power of Attorney must be honored by banks. However, they sometimes are reluctant to honor them, so if you can sign the bank form, it is often easier for the agent to make transactions later on.
You should appoint only someone whom you trust explicitly. You may also appoint two people acting together as an additional safeguard.
The joint accounts should be able to be accessed without the Power, but for real estate, a Power of Attorney will be needed.
10. Can I appoint my agent so that he or she has authority only if I become incapacitated?
The Power of Attorney is not valid for an agent appointed until he or she has signed the Power of Attorney before a Notary Public. You may execute the Power of Attorney but not have your agent sign until you are incapacitated.

The Government is planning a second big push on the economy in the next few days, following its recent plans to water down planning rules and boost housebuilding, by giving business the confidence to invest for growth.
More than 3,000 regulations will be scrapped and health and safety will be overhauled, it will announce on Monday. From next April, the Government intends to introduce binding new rules on both the Health & Safety Executive and local authorities that will exempt hundreds of thousands of businesses from regular inspections.
On Tuesday, Mr Cable will unveil a new industrial strategy that will see the Government pick winners and lay the ground for future growth by investing in skills and technology.
"There are absolutely key industries – cars, aerospace, life sciences, some key services sector digital industries – where we need to think long-term, and that's beyond any one parliament, any one government," Mr Cable told the BBC's The Andrew Marr Show.
"And you also need partnership between government and the private sector ... on things like skills and technology, and that's what this is about."
As well as providing funding, the Business Secretary wants experts to identify ways to release key sectors' potential. He used the example of the Government's "innovation centres" for advanced manufacturing, life sciences and renewable technologies.
"They are trying to build up their supply chains in the UK, bringing them back. We lost a lot of industry overseas. [And] things like skills development," he said. "I mean if we're going to get this country back onto long-term [growth] we need lots more engineers, we need apprentice craftsmen. And this has got to be planned. It's not going to happen spontaneously."
Mr Cable's plans appeared to be endorsed by Justin King, Sainsbury's chief executive, who told Sky News "what business needs is consistency over time". However, he criticised the Government's failure to address red tape earlier, saying the latest discussions on regulation were two years late and a sign that the Government hadn't taken "the decisions that it could have taken early enough".
He also said he would back a cut in employers' national insurance contributions before a cut in VAT.
The EEF, the manufacturers organisation, will on Monday unveil its own proposals for an industrial strategy, which will include reducing business regulation by a tenth and scrapping the unilateral carbon tax to allow energy prices to fall below the EU average.
It has also called for government departments to work more collaboratively on growth, with the Business Department leading policy.
The British Chambers of Commerce welcomed the changes to health and safety regulation and red tape. Adam Marshall, director of policy and external affairs at the British Chambers of Commerce, said: "Ensuring that low-risk workplaces are exempted from inspections is a sensible change that will save employers time and money without reducing the safety of workers... The overall number of regulations on the books remains far too high."
