AQNHC Releases New "Three Pillars of Post Acute Reform" Policy Outline as Urgency of Passing Key Medicare Payment Reforms Grow
Alliance for Quality Nursing Home Care Offers Policy Guidance to Help Optimize Care, Achieve Medicare Cost Savings, Boost Efficiency of Disjointed Post Acute Payment System
Dec 19, 2012, 12:50 ET from Alliance for Quality Nursing Home Care
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- In releasing its new "Three Pillars of Post Acute Reform" policy outline during a media conference call today, the Alliance for Quality Nursing Home Care (AQNHC) said patient need must drive Medicare payment system reforms, payment systems themselves must be more closely tied to comparative quality performance, and that ongoing payments to nursing home providers must remain adequate to sustain the provision of high quality care to an increasingly older, growing post-acute care population. Nursing homes, referred to technically as Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs), are America's second largest health facility provider.
Specifically, the Alliance says the three key principles for driving post-acute reform in 2013 are:
I. Patient need MUST drive payment system reforms for post-acute care -- We must place patients in the forefront by aligning patient characteristics and care needs with integrated post-acute payment and delivery systems. Meeting the health needs of beneficiaries should encourage care in the best clinical setting appropriate to patient needs.
II. Payment systems MUST be more closely tied to comparative quality performance -- System reforms increasingly must differentiate payments to providers based on comparative quality outcomes. Until providers are financially responsible for results based on valid quality metrics, effort to both improve quality and reduce costs will be systematically undermined.
III. Payment MUST be adequate to give providers the resources necessary to meet growing patient needs and sustain the delivery of high quality care -- The Alliance supports initiatives and payment reforms that provide reasonable and adequate payment to providers so that the needs of an increasingly frail and chronically ill population, as well as a growing post-acute population, will continue to be met.
"As we careen to the end of another chaotic year, 2013 must be the year when we finally break the zero-sum status quo that hurts patients and providers, is devoid of accountability to the U.S. taxpayer, and which jeopardizes the ongoing health and well-being of millions of Medicare beneficiaries," stated Alan G. Rosenbloom, President of the Alliance. Noting the U.S. SNF sector is facing $65 billion in cumulative Medicare funding reductions over the next ten years as a result of budget and regulatory changes since 2009, Rosenbloom stressed the urgency of putting in place "a transformative post acute care policy model."
Dan Mendelson, President of Avalere, an independent health policy advisory firm, noted the Affordable Care Act (ACA) set in motion a range of demonstrations and other policy focused on paying for quality in healthcare. "Moving forward, these are the most important area of focus for post-acute care – especially in cases when the full continuum of care is considered," he said. "Quality in nursing home care can only be rationally considered in light of the patient experience – which often includes discharge from an acute care facility, and return to the home."

Thanks for your answer. And yes, I thought it would have been solved too.
As for your code, I'm not sure I understand. Command history already works.
Maybe I should have Term::ReadLine::Gnu. But I can't install it. It says libtermcap.a or libcurses.a is missing. Anybody know what I should be doing?

Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in North Carolina
2nd marriage, how to do will
In 2nd marriage. I have 2 boys, he has a daughter. I sold my house to purchase house we are now in. I put 90,000 equity in home, he put $1000.00. He has property worth approx 25,000. He wants house if I die. I would like his property if he dies, but he feels it should go to daughter. I feel its unfair being I sold my house that my previous house would have gone to my children. If he dies first I get our house. If I die he gets our house and his property. He says his retirement will be enough to take care of me. I have seen nothing that assures me of what I am entitled to as far as his retirement. We both had wills before marriage, but mine is not very good now that I sold my house to purchase this one. This probaly took my boys out of their inheritance with my 1st house now that our current home is in mine and my husbands name. I do have a couple of insurance policies with them being the beneficiaries. Am I entitled to his property at all being he has a will that states his assets goes to his daughter before we were ever married? I am upset please help me with this delima. Thank you
1 Answer from Attorneys
Re: 2nd marriage, how to do will
You have certain options that may be available if you are the surviving spouse. (if your husband dies before you) North Carolina allows the surviving spouse to renounce her share under the will of the decedent spouse and take an elective share. Basically, an elective share would provide you with a certain percentage of your husband's total net assets at his death. Depending on the facts, this may entitle you to a share of the $25,000 property left for his daughter.
Feel free to contact me for further information regarding your particular issues and if you wish to modify your existing will.

Can I make up my own attacks for my fanfic?

Are you sure you want to know?
The good thing about fanfiction is you can generally do what you want. If you want to make up new moves, go for it, but at the same time as it is pokemon and people who would read your story should know what most attacks are, so if you are to suddenly throw in a new move or even pokemon without explanation of how it works or even how it's created it can be confusing. With your example you can honestly keep it as a simple Quick Attack. In story your character can simply order the pokemon to use the speed of Quick Attack to dodge ratcher than attack. However, as Quick Attack is a physical move you can make Quick Attack Burst and explain that it is a dodging or protective move rather than an outright attack.
There are already hundreds of attacks and using them in creative new ways is always interesting and something I'd be eager to see, so long as there is a reasonable explanation of how or why they can do that, though I suppose you would use such ways to show the reader how such a thing is possible is through a training session/chapter.
You aren't alone in coming up with new moves or even using an ordinary move and making it creative. I myself have done it several times in older fanfics. So I'd say go for it, and if some reviewer makes a negative comment but doesn't give a reason why you shouldn't add a new attackto your story, ignore them. However, if someone does give a logical explanation of why your new move doesn't make sense, look it over, think about how you can make is reasonable or even possible, and just go for it once more with the new knowledge you've gained in how to make it possible.

SXSW Film Review: 'The Immortalists'
Meet two of our generation's would-be fountains of youth
By Michael Agresta,
10:15AM, Wed. Mar. 12, 2014
Every era of history produces its own fantasies of an elixir to cure the "disease" of old age. Our generation's would-be fountains of youth can be found on the fringes of biology, where vainglorious researchers compete for investors in their far-fetched schemes.
The Immortalists follows two such anti-aging impresarios. Their science is not particularly reputable (in the course of the film, one loses funding for his lab and the other leaves academia to start a research fiefdom with his own inheritance), but they are fun to watch. Dr. William H. Andrews, a recognizable American huckster type, is peer-reviewed as a "snake oil salesman." Initially more likable, the bearded, beer-swilling Dr. Aubrey de Grey enjoys naked romps in the woods with his sexagenarian wife. By the end of the film, however, de Grey too seems more a product of tech-bubble hype than a genuine scientist with the humility to accept his own limitations.
Both men are gregarious, off-kilter personalities who are pleasant enough to spend two hours with, though Andrews' desperation – and mortality – shows in the final hour. But he never gives up. As audiences left the SXSW screening, they were met by a product rep for Andrews' herbal anti-aging pills.

most of it—it had been renamed MacFarlane Partners—to GE Capital Services, which changed the name of the firm again to GE Capital Investment Advisors. The deal did not include MacFarlane's urban business.
After a three-year period during which MacFarlane worked for GE Capital as part of the terms of the deal, he revisited his fledgling urban business. GE hadn't acquired this when it bought the original MacFarlane Partners because there weren't any assets there to speak of. It had been started in response to the 1992 riots in Los Angeles, when CalPERS asked all its real estate investment managers to figure out a way to invest profitably in the state's inner cities. MacFarlane Partners was the only one that responded.
Teaming up with Johnson Development, MacFarlane presented their proposal to CalPERS, which invested $50 million in the team's strategic vision. Johnson/MacFarlane Partners found that these neighborhoods were densely populated but had fewer stores. That meant the community had greater purchasing power than expected—something other investors had overlooked. That deal set the stage for others like it, and MacFarlane has never looked back.
As MacFarlane Partners continued to post gains, the funds attracted capital and what was once meant to remain a small boutique firm became an industry powerhouse—all within the urban space. The company's largest increase in value to date is the 49.5% of the Time Warner Center retail space and the property's parking structure from Apollo Real Estate Advisors and the Related Cos. in a deal valued well in excess of $500 million. MacFarlane Partners also acquired a $359 million participating interest in the New York City project's $1.22 billion GMAC commercial mortgage construction loan. The investment agreement includes The Shops at Columbus Circle, encompassing 338,500 square feet of shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues, and a tri-level underground garage that can accommodate 504 cars and offers 24-hour valet parking.
Though market conditions remain unstable, the urban niche is here to stay. "Of course the credit markets are inhibiting deal making," says Coda Investment's Mashore, "but the urban space will continue to be highly prized among many different types of investors, particularly where it's well-located." And where there are deals to be made, MacFarlane will be there.

Regional Spotlight
Middle East and North Africa
This region has reduced child mortality faster than any other in the developing world. In 1960, one quarter of all children died before age five; by 1993,
had been cut to 7 per cent. Nevertheless, the survival prospects of children are lower than those in regions where income is comparable.
Immunization campaigns doubled coverage against the six main vaccine-preventable diseases, from 42 per cent in the early 1980s to 84 per cent a decade later. Iran, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman and Tunisia now report immunization rates of over 95 per cent.
Total enrolment in primary schools more than doubled between 1970 and 1990. The girls' enrolment rate of 28 per cent in 1960 had soared by 1990 to 70 per cent.
The female literacy rate more than doubled between 1970 and 1990. But two thirds of the region's estimated 65 million illiterate adults are women.
Children fare differently depending on country of origin, residence and gender. The Sudan and Yemen have much higher child mortality rates than Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates. In Egypt and Tunisia, rural children are twice as likely to be malnourished as those in urban areas.

ok review but your punctuation is shite
do some research on how to properly use apostrophes, parentheses, quotation marks etc
Album Rating: 3.0Thank you for the advice.
Album Rating: 3.0I agree with your rating. I think the album is good, but I don't think it is great . . . By the way, Tommy is right about the punctuation. It makes your good review look bad.
Album Rating: 3.0Yeah good is the word. It is not an album I would keep going back to.Is there any examples where I should change the punctuation? Any advice helps. Thank you.
1. don't put spaces between parentheses and the words they contain
( most annoying phrase of 2014 ) should be (most annoying phrase of 2014)
(this same rule applies to quotation marks)
2. don't use apostrophes for plurals
sing along's should be sing alongs
3. only use an apostrophe in its when used as a contraction of it is
As the album starts to reach it's end should be As the album starts to reach its end
not a bad review though, you make some good points... fixing the punctuation and grammar will make
things much easier for the reader
Album Rating: 3.0Cool, I fixed them. Oddly the spaces appeared between the quotation marks when I copied and pasted it from my notepad. Thanks for the help.
Album Rating: 3.0Yeah, it's not a bad review. Just clean up the punctuation and it will look much better. Don't forget commas and periods go inside quotations too. Ex. "Midnight."
Album Rating: 3.0Ok cool thank you for advice.

Buzzer beater leads to OT loss for Cougar men
MORRIS - Visiting Bethany Lutheran tied the game at the buzzer before handing the University of Minnesota, Morris men's basketball team a 79-75 loss in overtime Friday in Upper Midwest Athletic Conference (UMAC) play on Jim Gremmels Court.
A full-court pass with just 1.3 seconds left hit off a mess of leaping Cougars and Vikings before being picked up and tossed in on a prayer as the buzzer and backboard lights went off, by Bethany Lutheran's Derek Peterson, forcing the extra session.
Twice in the previous 25 seconds, it looked as if the Cougars had it won, first when Derek Schmidt hit a shot in traffic to go up 67-65 with under 30 seconds to go, and again when Brendon Foss connected from under the basket to give the Cougars a 69-67 lead with just 1.3 to go.
But each bucket came with controversy, first when Schmidt was called for a foul after coming down from his shot, giving the Vikings a pair of free throws to tie it, and then after Foss' make, the officials put 1.3 seconds on the clock after it was initially stopped at 0.6.
The Vikings took advantage and made the most of their opportunities, taking the momentum from their desperation game-tier into overtime where they outscored the Cougars 10-6 to finish off the win.
Bethany Lutheran made five of their eight free-throw attempts in the extra session - compared to just 3-of-5 for Morris - which was a microcosm of the game, as the Vikings made better than 80 percent (22-of-26) of their trips to the line while the Cougars finished under 70 percent.
Foss finished with a game- and career-high 21 (bettering his 20 from earlier this season), leading four different Cougars in double figures, while also pulling down a team-high seven rebounds.
Schmidt finished with 17, going 4-of-5 from the floor and 9-of-11 from the line, with Ben Hoidal and Logan Orazem each adding 10.
Orazem gave the Cougars their biggest lead of the game at 12 points with his three-pointer late in the first that put his squad up 37-25.
The Vikings countered with an 8-0 run to close the half and trail just four at 37-33 heading into the halftime, and had the lead erased by the 17:31 mark of the second.
The win keeps the Vikings as the last unbeaten in UMAC play, and is their first over the Cougars since the 2008 UMAC tournament and first in Morris since the 2006-07 season.
The Cougars shot better from long range (including four threes from Foss and three from Orazem) and out-rebounded the Vikings, but it wasn't enough to offset the disparity at the line, and eliminate the chance for the last-second heroics

NASCAR fans injured on last-lap crash at Daytona NASCAR fans injured on last-lap crash at Daytona
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — An unidentified number of NASCAR fans were injured Saturday when debris from a wild crash on the last lap of the Nationwide Series season opener was sent flying into the grandstands at Daytona International Speedway.
NASCAR officials did not disclose the number or severity of the injuries, but it was readily apparent a number of fans were injured when a last-lap melee erupted in front of the grandstands on the front stretch when the No. 32 Chevrolet of rookie driver Kyle Larsen helicoptered into the catch fence, which sheared the front-end suspension and engine.
A tire from Larsen's car landed nine rows up in the grandstands near the start-finish line at Daytona's 2.5-mile, tri-oval.
"We've always known that since racing started that it's a dangerous sport,'' said Tony Stewart, who eluded the last-lap carnage from the multi-car melee that was triggered when race leader Regan Smith tried to block Brad Keselowski. "It's hard and we assume that risk, but it's hard when fans get caught up in it.''
The incident cast a pall on Stewart's muted Victory Lane celebration after the NASCAR Sprint Cup driver won the Nationwide Series season opener for the seventh time in his career and fifth time in the last six races.
"So as much as we want to celebrate right now and as much as this is a big deal to us, I'm more worried about the drivers and the fans in the stands right now,'' Stewart said. "I could see it all in the mirror and it didn't look good from our side.''

3D Printers and Guns
As I've explained before, Deven and I are writing an article about the patent implications of 3D printing. We are not planning to address the issue of using these devices to make guns, but (speaking just for myself) I thought I'd make an observation about that in the wake of the crime in Connecticut.
In speaking to engineers and computer scientists as part of my end of this research, I've been told that we are about five years away from people being able to make their own (unregistered) guns and ammunition at home. Now initially these will not be as good as standard guns, but this innovation will still pose a difficult regulatory challenge. Sometimes technology resets the terms of legal debate, and we may be closing in on a point where limiting gun ownership will be an option with diminishing returns. Changing the gun culture, though, is another matter.

THIS week, the Duke's Course.
Next July, the Old Course? The possibility of a place in the 2015 Open Championship in the cradle of the game in St Andrews is the huge incentive on offer for some of the continent's leading players in the European Amateur Championship, which gets underway today, at the Duke's on the outskirts of the Auld Grey Toon.
The winner of the 72-hole strokeplay event will be handed an invitation to the following year's Open Championship and a host of Scottish hopefuls are hoping to join a list of past champions that includes the likes of Sergio Garcia and the current world No.1 Rory McIlroy.
Loading article content
It is 20 years now since Stephen Gallacher became the first, and as yet only, Scot to lift one of the amateur game's 'major' titles. As the championship returns to Scottish soil for the first time since Nairn was the host in 2003, Gallacher continues to harbour fond memories of that significant success which saw him pip countryman Gordon Sherry to the crown in Finland.
"I won the 1994 European Amateur Championship to get into the Lancome Trophy on the European Tour," he recalled. "That event featured guys such as Arnold Palmer, Gary Player and Lee Trevino. It was a fabulous experience for me at that young age."
While McIlroy, the European Amateur champion in 2006, goes for a third successive victory on the global stage in this week's PGA Championship, Meldrum House's Chris Robb will be hoping to follow in the Northern Irishman's footsteps and claim his fourth victory in a row on the amateur front. Having captured the East of Scotland Open, the Cameron Corbett Vase and the Scottish Amateur Championship over the past month, the 23-year-old will tee-up in his favoured format of strokeplay in buoyant mood.
Englishman Ashley Chesters will defend the title he won a year ago while Italian youngster Renato Paratore is the highest ranked player on the world amateur order at No.5.
Bradley Neil, the reigning Amateur champion, and Grant Forrest, this season's St Andrews Links Trophy winner, are the notable home absentees in an impressive line-up as they are heading out to compete on the other side of the Atlantic in the US Amateur Championship.

Ridgefield — Twenty years ago, Evergreen Habitat for Humanity began building houses for low-income residents of Clark County. To celebrate the past and look to the future, the nonprofit held a Tool Box Bash on June 25 at the Clark County Events Center at the Fairgrounds.
Accomplishments of the past 20 years were highlighted during the event, including the launch of A Brush with Kindness program — building 21 homes and housing 88 individuals, including 56 children — and Evergreen's first partner family's coming mortgage pay-off.
During the event, Evergreen Habitat took in around $4,000 to be used for programs throughout the coming year.

MIAMI-DADE, Fla. - George Brown, 50, of Hollywood, was charged on Tuesday with accepting bribes in connection with programs receiving federal funds.
Brown is scheduled to appear in federal court in Fort Lauderdale at 11 a.m. Thursday.
According to the criminal complaint, Brown was the Roadway Lighting Coordinator for the Department of Public Works (DPW) in Miami-Dade County. He was responsible for overseeing the installation and maintenance of more than 45,000 street lights in the county's roadway system.
In 2011, a lighting contractor allegedly offered to provide Brown with rewards in exchange for the DPW's purchase of the contractor's lighting products. Brown agreed and subsequently accepted more than $13,000 in bribes from the contractor in 2011 and 2012.
If convicted of the charges in the criminal complaint, Brown faces a possible maximum statutory sentence of up to 10 years in prison.

1. Dior Airflash Spray Foundation. Back when I was 16, before Prom, I trundled down to a Dior counter for a makeover and whenever I look back at photos of that evening I always think that they did a really good job – no horrendous Prom makeup tale from me (the dress however….). I seem to remember them using this, so the other day I picked it up on a whim and boy is this stuff awesome. It's a spray foundation – something that I've never used – and if you think about it, anything that is thin enough to get through such a mechanism is going to be invisible on the skin. There are a few tricks and tips I have to using it, but I'll save those for another day. Speaking of foundations…
2. NARS Sheer Glow Foundation. Yes, yes, another one. This is another revival as I've used this formula before but back when I was at University. It's glowy, can be altered to a medium to full coverage, works so well with my Louise Young LY34 Brush and the shade Deauville is spot on. I'll never be without it again.
3. The At-Home Pedi. I hadn't looked down at my feet for longer that I wish to disclose for the simple fact that my toes were well overdue a manicure and were making me a feel a bit queasy. I'd had a brief affair with standard polish down there, but it was time to go back to a gel formula. Ok, the process as a whole complete with filing, cuticle removing, shaping, curing – all that malarky – took a good hour or so but the result lasts for a good month before it needs re-doing. I use the Red Carpet Manicure Starter Set and this time plumped for the coral colour Ooo La Liscious.
4. Getting Back Into Empties. Empties videos were a topic that I used to churn out back in the day, but after getting a little tired of having to hoard mounds of plastic and glass under my bed I stopped. But after seeing the Into The Gloss 'Things We Finish' series my inner hoarder is back and a quick peer under my bed will have you thinking that I'm secretly living a second life as Stig of the Dump. Expect an empties video in your sub boxes soon (*insert plug here* that is if you're subscribed to my channel?).
5. Vlogging!?! I never thought in a million years that this word would appear on a favourites list of mine, but actually it's been nice taking you around in my pocket and showing you the highlights of my week. Mark's even getting in on the action too which makes the editing process that more entertaining seeing his face pop up on the screen. Catch up on the story so far here.

So, apart from PVP, I'll probably be playing mostly by myself 'cause that's just how I roll. Still, I'm a quite competitive gamer looking to be grinding for the best gear available as soon as possible. I'd like some different ideas on what kind of class to start out with. I've not played the beta, but I'm assuming that, as in most other RPGs, a ranged class would be optimal. Anyways, what do you think? What are your reasons for what you think?

Be patient with me, Jonathan tells Nigerians
President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday urged Nigerians to give him more time to deliver on his promises.
Speaking in Onitsha, Anambra State during the inauguration of the N4.6 billion Onitsha River Port Complex, Mr Jonathan said he would deliver on his promises before the end of his tenure.
He promised to develop an integrated transport system, linking airports, sea ports and rail to boost commerce and the movement of cargoes.
Also speaking, the Minister of Transport, Idris Umar, said the river port would stimulate economic activities and job creation.
He said three inland water ports in Baro, Niger; Oguta, Imo, and Yamata, Kogi, would soon be completed and inaugurated.
The Minister thanked the president and the Anambra State governor, Peter Obi, for supporting his ministry in developing water transport.
The Senate President, David Mark, who was represented by Zainab Kure, promised to work harmoniously with the executive arm of government to develop the nation's economy.
He urged synergy among the ministries to ensure quality budgeting, adding that the government would soon set up a board on deep sea water.
Mr Mark hoped that the Baro Port would be inaugurated in the next 12 months.
The Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, said the project would reduce the pressure on Nigerian roads and also create jobs.
During his visit, the president also inaugurated oil drilling activities at Orient Oil Resource Centre, near Aguleri; the SABMiller Brewery in Onitsha; and Orange Drugs Factory.
He also unveiled the giant statue of the Ikemba Nnewi, the late Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, and named the expanded expressway from Niger Bridgehead to Upper Iweka Road – the gateway to the South East – as Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu Way.

Saints have confirmed that Luke Shaw has badly gashed his right knee.
The young left back was stretchered off during the win at Aston Villa after a heavy challenge.
Nigel Adkins was unable to give any timescale for a return but Shaw may face a short spell on the sidelines as a result.
Danny Fox could well be set for a spell in the team to deputise.
Saints are already dealing with injuries to key men Adam Lallana and Jose Fonte while Guly do Prado was unable to figure due to illness.
Gaston Ramirez was also forced off at Villa Park but that was simply cramp.

Ryanair is investing €400m to extend its services in the Canary Islands from next year.
The airline says it will base six planes across Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Tenerife from February while it will also increase routes and frequencies on its services to Fuerteventura.
Ryanair will increase its flights to and from the Canary Islands by 35 to a total of 112. The new routes include two from Cork to Gran Canaria and Tenerife, three from Knock to Gran Canaria, Tenerife and Lanzarote and one new Shannon route to Fuerteventura.
Ryanair says the expansion is directly 'attributable to the visionary initiatives of the Canary Islands Government who, in recent years, have identified low fare access as being critical'.

Thresholds the grayscale image at the given threshold value.
Matlab graythresh() works better.
Not bad. Shows original image on left and binarized image on right. Binarized image changes as you interactively set the low and high threshold limits. Button for a popup window with the binary image applied to the original image. Handles color images after you select a color band (which they call "Scale" for some reason) to work with. A little bit clunky and could use several user interface improvements (e.g. there is no way to interactively browse for an image file), but it's a good starting point for you to use to build something like this into your own application.

Parliamentarians take action for maternal and newborn health
Members of Parliament from 32 developing and developed countries as well as partners from international agencies and NGOs gathered in The Hague to discuss how parliamentarians can contribute to improve the health of women and newborn. The 2.5 days meeting that also included visits to Dutch health facilities and other institutions was organized by the WHO Department of Making Pregnancy Safer together with the Inter-parliamentary Union (IPU) and the parliament of the Netherlands.
The lawmakers used the opportunity to develop a roadmap with a variety of action points that can help to improve the situation in their countries. They identified seven key priority areas (pillars) in which action is needed most urgently if countries want to achieve Millennium Development Goals 5 and 4 aiming to improve maternal and newborn health. The pillars include political commitment, education, health systems, legislation, financial resourcing, cultural practices and partnership.
The participants also identified the conditions for success within these priority areas including for example accurate data, partner support, increased health budgets, human resource development, and mass media awareness. As action points the parliamentarians named building of cross-party coalitions, hearings in parliament, cooperation with budget and finance committees to prioritize maternal and newborn health, review of legislation, request for sex-disaggregated data and speaking out against harmful traditional practices.
The roadmap developed by the parliamentarians is designed as a framework for action that can be built on and expanded in the future weeks and months. Via a specifically created website, the participants and other parliamentarians will be able to continue to share experiences and help each other to achieve change.
In their address to the conference, the Dutch Minister for Development Cooperation, Mr Bert Koenders, and the Dutch Minister for Health, Mr Ab Klink, both underlined that MDG5 is a policy priority for the Dutch government. Mr Koenders stressed that hardly any progress has been made towards this goal in the past 20 years. "How can this be", he asked, "when great steps forward have been made in other areas, towards attaining other MDGs? And when we know how to prevent most maternal mortality? Even less prosperous countries have managed this!"
In her closing remarks, WHO Assistant Director-General Ms Daisy Mafubelu stressed that during the meeting is had become again very clear that parliamentarians have a key role to play in the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals and the prevention of the needless deaths of mothers and babies. She urged them to take action, join forces with old and new partners, solicit political commitment, lobby for higher health budgets and hold their governments accountable for their pledge to reduce maternal mortality by three quarters by 2015. And she ensured the parliamentarians that WHO will be at their side "beating the drum for the survival of mothers and newborns everywhere in the world".

A Most Wanted Man Official Trailer Philip Seymour Hoffman Willem Dafoe Video
A Most Wanted Man Official Trailer - Philip Seymour HoffmanThe tragic passing of Philip Seymour Hoffman makes this one bittersweet, considering it's one of our last chances to appreciate the actor's substantial talents. But that's far from the only reason A Most Wanted Man should be on film fans' radars. With Anton Corbijn (Control, The American) directing the John le Carré adaptation, and a cast that includes Rachel McAdams, Robin Wright and Willem Dafoe, this cerebral, adult thriller looks like exactly the kind of sophisticated counterprogramming guys will be hungry for after an otherwise steady diet of popcorn movies.

Nicole Saba apologizes to Yusra
Lebanese singer/actress Nicole Saba has apologized to prominent Egyptian actress Yusra for not being able to accept the offer to star in her new film "Kalam Fil Hub" (Love Talk), due to the fact that she is occupied with her first solo album, which she released recently. Sources revealed that the real reason Nicole turned down Yusra was because she is looking for a film where she plays the leading role and one that does not depend on her looks or her being seductive.
According to the Egyptian based daily, Al Gomhouryia, Nicole stressed that she is looking for a role that will bring out her real acting talents and dose not depend on her outside appearance. She added that the role in Yusra's film will not achieve her goal and so she decided to turn it down.
It was added that negotiations between Nicole and the makers of the film did not succeed due to the fact that the singer/actress demanded that alterations be made to the script to make her role more of a major rather than just a minor one.
Nicole stressed that she refuses to accept any role if it does not add to her acting career, at the same time she refuses to have a minor role in any film reflect negatively on her singing career.
Saba has been nominated for a number of films, which she will choose one to mark her second cinematic experience and hopefully achieve as much success as her first film "Al Tajruba Al Denmarkia" (A Dutch Experience) alongside Egyptian comedian-actor Adel Imam.
O of the films that Nicole has been nominated for is (45 Days) alongside Egyptian actress Hanan Turk and a number of other young actors. It has been rumored that Nicole had accepted the role in the film due to the fact that the story attracted her attention, and she feels it will add tremendously to her acting career.
Nicole has been refusing all offers to star in films and television dramas, stressing that she wanted to concentrate her attention on her singing career and wants to ensure that her first album will find the success she is hoping for.
Saba has recently released her first solo music video for the song "Yali Shaghilni Beek" (I'm Occupied with you) under the direction of Nadine Labky. The director decided to present Nicole in a new style, which has not been used, as a secretary from the sixties.
The song is part of Nicole's first solo album, which the singer hopes will mark her return to the singing world. Nicole placed the final touches on her album in Cairo. Alam El Phan produces the album "Ya Shaghilni Aineedk", which features ten songs. –Albawaba.com

Washington rallies to defeat Cal in volleyball 5-setter
Third-ranked Washington overcame being down triple match point to stun No. 23 host California 17-15 in the fifth set.
Latest from the Husky Football & Basketball blogs

Third-ranked Washington overcame being down triple match point to stun No. 23 host California 17-15 in the fifth set Friday night.
The improbable win kept UW with a one-game lead in the Pac-12 with two home matches to play next week.
The Huskies (24-2, 16-2) were down 14-11 in the fifth set, but a Cassie Strickland kill saved one match point. Then Cal's celebration was called off after the Bears hit the net on a potential kill.
Gabbi Parker then teamed with Lianna Sybeldon for the crucial block that tied it. One point later, Parker finished off a rally that got the Huskies their own match point. California (17-9, 10-7) saved it, but a Sybeldon kill earned another chance, and junior Krista Vansant capped a huge night with her 28th kill to finish the match with UW closing on a 6-1 run.
The back-and-forth nature of the fifth set matched the rest of the night, as UW rolled in sets one and three but struggled early in sets two and four, losing each despite late comebacks. The final tally was 25-19, 23-25, 25-17, 23-25, 17-15 as the Huskies improved to 3-0 this year in five-set matches.
"Every match can be defined by a couple plays. Those are two plays right there, Gabbi goes in and blocks a ball, we dig a ball and she kills it," UW coach Jim McLaughlin said. "Those define the match. She went back and hit a good hard jump serve too."
The Huskies host Oregon State next Wednesday and Washington State next Friday in the final two regular-season matches, needing one win to clinch a share of the Pac-12 title and two wins to clinch it outright.
Vansant's 28 kills were a season high. She hit .319 and added 18 digs and five blocks for 30.5 points.
Kaleigh Nelson added 14 kills and senior Kylin Muñoz had a big night with eight kills on a .353 attack percentage plus four blocks.
Other volleyball
No. 5 host Stanford beat Washington State 25-14, 25-15, 26-24. Freshmen Kyra Holt and Emmy Allen combined for 22 of WSU's 33 kills. Holt had 13 kills, six digs, two blocks and two aces. Allen had nine kills and hit .348. Haley MacDonald had 15 assists for the Cougars (17-13, 4-13 Pac-12). The Cardinal (22-5, 15-3) was led by Jordan Burgess' 13 kills.
Women's soccer
Anna Geldenhuys scored the lone goal early in the second half as host Western Washington won its first West Regional title with a 1-0 victory over Cal State San Bernardino in the NCAA Division II national tournament.
The Vikings (19-1-1) are 11-0-0 at home and will host St. Edward's in a quarterfinal-round game Sunday. St. Edward's beat Metro State, winning a penalty-kick shootout 3-0 after the game was tied 1-1 at the end of extra time.
Men's basketball
Cory Hutsen and Matt Borton combined for 40 points, leading ninth-ranked Seattle Pacific to an 86-73 victory over BYU-Hawaii on the opening day of the GNAC/PacWest Challenge in Ellensburg.
The Falcons (5-1) play Hawaii Pacific on Saturday. HPU defeated host Central Washington 71-64 in the other first-round game.
Hutsen led all scorers with 22 points on 9-for-14 shooting and had eight rebounds. Borton posted his collegiate high with 18 points.
Mark McLaughlin scored 22 points for Central Washington (1-2).
Women's basketball
Betsy Kingma nailed a three-pointer from the right side at the buzzer, boosting 21st-ranked Seattle Pacific past UC San Diego 66-63 in the opening game of the Azusa (Calif.) Pacific Crossover Classic.
After calling two consecutive timeouts, the Falcons (5-0) inbounded with 3.6 seconds left. Sophomore guard Brianna Lasconia took the ball up the right side and found a wide open Kingma, who got the shot off just as the buzzer sounded. Kingma finished with 13 points and four assists.
Seattle Pacific, continuing its best start since the 2007-08 season, was led by the season-high 26 points of senior forward Katie Benson. She also grabbed eight rebounds. Junior guard Suzanna Ohlsen added 12 points, five rebounds, four assists and two steals.
Seattle Pacific finishes the tournament on Saturday against host Azusa Pacific, which beat Western Washington 76-61.
The Vikings, ranked No. 13, dropped to 1-2. They were led by the 15 points of forward Kiana Gandy. Katie Colard and Taylor Peacocke each had 11 points for WWU and point guard Jenni White added 10 points.
Seattle University signed seven players to letters of intent: center fielder TJ Byrne from Federal Way, right-handed pitcher Chris Carns from Federal Way, right-handed pitcher Ky Dye from Everett, left-handed pitcher David Marshall from Kennewick, left-handed pitcher Nick Meservey from Scottsdale, Ariz., pitcher/hitter Tarik Skubal from Kingman, Ariz., and designated hitter Sheldon Stober from Kent.

"It's not like a roller coaster, it's even more unpredictable," said Michael Raden, 39, who had just ridden the "Slingshot" ride near the Durante Gate at the San Diego County Fair.
The Slingshot is the epicenter of screams at the fair. It shoots two passengers in a tethered capsule at about 100 mph up to 200 feet in the air.
"It's terrifying in a good way," said Amy Howard, 24, from Imperial Beach, who had just watched a video of herself doing flips 200 feet above ground. "We probably did a dozen flips. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time."
This is the ninth year that the slingshot ride has been at the fair.
Tasti Chips — a fair favorite since 1972 — shared the secret to its lightly fried potato's at the Tour of Tastes Exhibit.
Lori Southerland, the sister-in-law of the founder, and a chef of the potato treats for 35 years, demonstrated the cooking process the company uses daily. Southerland used an antique potato chopper, and then lightly deep-fried the potatoes to a soft crisp. Attendees of the event received samples of the fresh chips, and a handful found tickets for a free Tasti Chips basket at the bottom of their samples.
Tasti Chips, based in Encinitas, started in 1853 at Sarasota Springs, N.Y, when a man complained that his potato chips were just too thick, Southerland said.
The soft chips have become a popular snack at the fair. "Every day a few people tell me Tasti Chips are the reason they come to the fair," Southerland said.
Last year, attendees ate 40,000 pounds of Tasti Chip potatoes.
Struggling the keep her spry goat in control at the fair, Lane Tarantino, 17, of Ramona said she's been participating in 4-H animal shows for nine years. She and other girls and boys, ranging in age from 12 to 18, present their goats or lambs in front on the judges, hoping to nab the first-prize ribbon given to the animal with the most muscle definition, largest size and best bone structure.
"I really enjoy participating in these shows," Lane said. "I always wanted to go to medical school, and by working with animals I get to learn more about taking care of the body."
The San Diego County Fair continues through Monday.

New Assassin's Creed 3 trailer shows off the power of the AnvilNext game engine
A new trailer from Ubisoft is giving gamers a look at AnvilNext, the new game engine that brings Colonial America to life in the new Assassin's Creed 3.
This radically redesigned game engine, which "renders seamless worlds of nearly infinite possibility", delivers "unprecedented realism and a revamped combat system" that looks to offer Assassin's Creed 3 players the most intense and vivid Assassin's Creed experience to date.
Thanks to advancements in the AnvilNext game engine you will meet and interact with diverse characters in the colonies and encounter up to 2,000 nonplayer characters in a single sequence - a new high for Assassin's Creed.
Connor, the new protagonist in Assassin's Creed 3, benefits greatly from this new game engine. With over 1,000 new animations, Connor will navigate through the wild with "precision and fluidity". Using new combat maneuvers unique to Assassin's Creed 3, Connor's Native American heritage and ability to dual-wield traditional weapons like the tomahawk makes him the most complex and technically advanced assassin to date.
In addition to land combat, you will take to the high seas in Assassin's Creed 3 as you engage in epic sea battles where the AnvilNext will simulate wind and water.
In short, Assassin's Creed 3 looks like it is going to be amazing thanks, in part, to the revolutionary AnvilNext game engine. Check out the trailer above for a more in-depth and visual look at the AnvilNext.
Assassin's Creed 3 is set to release on October 30 for PS3 and Xbox 360. A Wii U version of the game still doesn't have an exact release date, but a new list of leaked Wii U launch titles confirm Assassin's Creed 3 will be released for Nintendo's new console during the "holiday" window. A PC version of the game is also expected to launch "before Christmas".

World: Europe
Nato sets sights on Serb forces
Yugoslav army experts examined the wreckage of the F-117
Nato has launched the second phase of its air strikes campaign against Yugoslavia, directly targeting its armed forces for the first time.
As the alliance warned of an "imminent humanitarian catastrophe" with more than 500,000 people displaced by a Serb offensive in Kosovo, it said it had stepped up its attacks with a "broader range of air operations".
Four Serbian tanks were blown up near Malisevo in central Kosovo, according to Kosovo Albanian sources.
There were also attacks reported on targets in Pristina, and in other parts of Serbia.
Nato said on Saturday that it would attack targets including Yugoslav combat troops in and around Kosovo. Tanks, artillery, transporters and mobile command centres would be hit under phase two of Operation Allied Force.
He said the warplanes had hit air defence systems and had also targeted military and special police (MUP) command facilities.
In recent days some 20,000 people have been driven from towns in northern and central Kosovo and are trying to cross into Albania.
Nato spokesman Jamie Shea said that the Albanian Government had accepted up to 10,000 refugees in just the last few hours.
All 19 Nato member governments had quickly given their assent to expanded operations, Mr Shea said, and were resolved to see the campaign through.
More aircraft
The UK is among those who have pledged extra support to bolster the air strikes. It has sent 13 extra aircraft in a bid to halt President Slobodan Milosevic's "campaign of genocide".
UK Defence Secretary George Robertson promised four more Harrier jump jets and eight Tornado GR1 bombers. An additional Tristar tanker is also being sent to join the air-to-air refuelling fleet.
Air Commodore Wilby said he was hoping to be able to announce details of further increased military contributions from Allied nations on Monday.
BBC Defence Correspondent Mark Laity reports that sources suggest many of the Serbs' air defences - while still a threat - have been badly hit, allowing Nato more scope to focus its attacks on Serb forces in Kosovo.
Nato loses warplane
It remained unclear whether it was those air defences which had shot down a US Stealth fighter plane on Saturday or whether it had crashed due to mechanical failure.
He said Nato forces had mounted a "very successful" combined rescue operation and that the pilot of the plane was in good health at Aviano air base in Italy.
Several blasts rocked Belgrade on Sunday and air raid sirens sounded from the early morning. Yugoslav state news agency Tanjug said missiles landed near two airports in the suburbs. There were also reports of attacks on military targets in Cacak, Prizren and Pristina.
The all clear sounded six hours later, but fresh air raid alerts were reported around 1450 GMT.
Yugoslavia upbeat
President Milosevic remained unbowed in the face of both military and verbal onslaughts on his regime.
He held a meeting with the top state and military leaders in Belgrade on Sunday and they gave an upbeat assessment of the situation in the country.
They pronounced Yugoslavia fit to continue resisting Nato air attacks, according to Tanjug.
They found coordination between civilian and military bodies "excellent", and this had "strengthened all elements significant to the defence of the country", the news agency said.
