The risk of patient harm is increasing as the healthcare system becomes more complex. Despite a decade of intense scrutiny and many attempts to impact these refractory challenges, there remains a need to refine and explore strategies to """"""""hard-wire"""""""" a culture of patient safety among front-line healthcare workers. A recently disseminated strategy is Team Strategies and Tools to Enhance Performance and Patient Safety (TeamSTEPPSTM). TeamSTEPPS was developed through a partnership of AHRQ and the Department of Defense to improve healthcare team performance through flexible training designed to enhance team knowledge, skills, and attitudes. TeamSTEPPS involves a comprehensive curriculum that spells out key actions for a culture change of teamwork including: team leadership, mutual performance monitoring, back-up behaviors, adaptability, team/collective orientation, shared mental models, mutual trust, and closed-loop communication. AHRQ is actively disseminating TeamSTEPPS through national training centers. Although firmly based in research findings on the operations and effectiveness of teamwork, many aspects of the TeamSTEPPS approach have not yet been evaluated. There remains a need to ground team performance within organizational science to facilitate the exploration and testing of relationships among the TeamSTEPPS elements and organizational performance. Thus, the purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between key TeamSTEPPS elements and outcomes through considering both retrospective and prospective implementations in hospitals chosen to represent a cross-section of complexity (Critical Access Hospital vs. nonCAH) and affiliation (independent vs. owned/managed by a system). Multi-method approaches will be used to monitor the TeamSTEPPS application to the Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) of microsystems in a variety of hospital units.
The specific aims are to: 1) Explicate organizational elements that have facilitated or precluded full integration of the TeamSTEPPS model in 10 hospital units that have previously adopted the model;2) Prospectively examine the process and outcomes of implementing TeamSTEPPS in 12 hospitals chosen to represent a cross-section of complexity (Critical Access Hospital vs. nonCAH) and affiliation (independent vs. owned/managed by a system);3) Test the relationship between TeamSTEPPS measures (patient safety culture, teamwork attitudes and performance, initiative fidelity, and observed knowledge-skills- attitude (KSA) behaviors) and outcomes over time;and 4) Identify the TeamSTEPPS strategies that are most successful in terms of positive outcomes and the characteristics of a high reliability organization and then determine the burden and cost of implementing these successful strategies.
AHRQ and the Department of Defense have developed TeamSTEPPS, an evidence-based organizational initiative designed to help front-line healthcare provider teams enhance teamwork and patient safety, thus taking another step toward becoming a high reliability team in a high reliability organization (HRO). Although firmly based in research findings on the operations and effectiveness of teamwork and well- developed as a train-the-trainer quality initiative, many components of the TeamSTEPPS approach have not yet been evaluated. The proposed study is designed to prospectively evaluate in community hospitals the elements of the TeamSTEPPS approach including patient safety culture, teamwork attitudes and performance, implementation strategies and fidelity, staff behaviors, burden/cost, and outcomes to identify the elements that are most important for success.

The last and by far most exciting jacket from the A.P.C. x K-Way collaboration this season has been released. We got a first look very early, got very excited about the collaboratin and when we saw the other jackets come out, we have to admit, we were slightly disappointed. But this M-65 parka is perfect for the coming months, before summer really kicks in. Light weight, subtle, functional and it has a good fit.
The A.P.C. x K-Way M-65 Parka is now available at End.

Thursday Night Football
Falling behind 28-0 in the first quarter and losing by four touchdowns was bad enough. The repercussions from Maryland's humbling performance at West Virginia lasted all the way into January, and the Terrapins still haven't gotten over it.
Maryland beat Purdue in the Champs Sports Bowl to finish 9-4 in 2006, but the Terps never could overcome the stigma of that 45-27 whipping the Mountaineers administered in September before a national television audience.
``That hurt us quite a bit at the end of last year. I really thought we were deserving of being at least in the Top 25,'' Maryland coach Ralph Friedgen said. ``That didn't happen.''
The rematch is Thursday night at Maryland. The teams won't meet again until 2010, so this will be the Terrapins' last chance this decade to get even with the fourth-ranked Mountaineers (2-0), who lead the series 22-21-2.
``I think we went up there, had some stage fright and then some bad things happened to us,'' Friedgen said. ``I'm hoping it's had an effect on our players. I'll tell you this: It's had an effect on me. I'm working as hard as I've ever worked to have our kids ready to play in this game.''
Oddsmakers from SBGGlobal.com have made West Virginia -16 point spread favorites (View College Football odds) for Thursday's game, the over/under has been set at a whopping 65.5 total points (Game Matchup). Current public betting information shows that 78% of bets for this game have been placed on West Virginia -16 (View College Football bet percentages).
Friedgen, a Maryland alum, fondly remembers the Terrapins-Mountaineers rivalry from his playing days. As a coach, he won his first four games against West Virginia but has lost the last three.
``It's always been a very intense rivalry; a very physical ballgame,'' Mountaineers coach Rich Rodriguez said. ``I think it's been great for both fans because it's so close. It seems like it's always sold out whether we're at their place or they are at our place. I think it's been a great series.''
The difference last year was Maryland turnovers and the play of West Virginia running back Steve Slaton, who ran for 195 yards and two touchdowns. Friedgen had a chance to bring Slaton to Maryland a few years back, but the coach already had too many running backs and withdrew the scholarship offer.
Bad move. Slaton is the centerpiece of an offensive machine that enabled the Mountaineers to go 11-2 last year, and this season he's had two 100-yard rushing games and scored six touchdowns in leading West Virginia to lopsided wins over Western Michigan (62-24) and Marshall (48-23).
``He's had a great career, he's a great kid. I'm happy for him,'' Friedgen said. ``I just don't want to be happy for him Thursday night.''
Maryland (2-0) will seek to sustain the momentum created by early season victories over overmatched Villanova and Florida International. Keon Lattimore rushed for more than 100 yards in each game, and quarterback Jordan Steffy passed just enough to keep the opposing defenses from stacking the line to stop the run.
The defense is ranked first in the Atlantic Coast Conference and seventh nationally, yielding an average of only 175 yards.
``What they are doing is, they are controlling the game,'' Rodriguez said. ``I think their last two opponents had the ball for less than 60 plays. They are getting a lot of three-and-outs. Their offense is staying on the field, and it's hard to score when you don't have the ball.''
West Virginia needs a win to stay in the top five. Maryland is looking to break into the rankings for the first time this season.
``A win would hopefully jump us into the Top 25 and gets us some respect from other teams and other coaches,'' linebacker Erin Henderson said.
But what happens if the Mountaineers again embarrass the Terps?
``That definitely isn't going to happen this time around,'' junior receiver Danny Oquendo said. ``That was the first big game for a lot of us. We have a lot more experience, and we're going to be ready to go this year.''

[JURIST] A US district court judge Thursday released two US Marines who had previously been jailed for refusing to testify about the deaths of Iraqi detainees during the November 2004 offensive [GlobalSecurity backgrounder] in Fallujah [USMC timeline; JURIST news archive]. Marine Corps Sgt. Ryan G. Weemer [JURIST news archive] and Sgt. Jermaine Nelson were held in contempt of court [JURIST news report] in June and May, respectively, after appearing before a grand jury and refusing to answer questions about the role of former Marine Sgt. Jose Nazario [JURIST news archive] in the deaths of the detainees. US District Judge Stephen Larson declined to rescind his contempt rulings, but released the Marines after their attorneys argued that the detentions would never compel them to testify. In addition to the contempt charges, Nelson and Weemer each face six counts of dereliction of duty and one count of murder [USMC charge sheet] for their roles in the Fallujah killings. The Los Angeles Times more. The Marine Corps Times has additional coverage.
In July 2007, the Naval Criminal Investigation Service (NCIS) [official website] announced investigations of at least 10 Marines [JURIST report] after Weemer admitted during a polygraphed job interview with the US Secret Service that he had witnessed indiscriminate killings in Fallujah. Military journalist Nathaniel Helms later corroborated that account, reporting that he witnessed Marines execute subdued Iraqi prisoners, whose bodies were later buried under rubble from an air strike. In May, a federal judge ruled that Nazario could stand trial [JURIST report] in civilian court over the deaths.

Gammon Infrastructure Projects has received financial closures for five road projects spread across different states. The company received a total grant of over Rs 1,000 crore for these projects.
Gammon Infrastructure Projects has received financial closures for five road projects spread across different states. The company received a total grant of over Rs 1,000 crore for these projects, Parag Parikh, ED and CFO, Gammon Infra told CNBC-TV18 in an interview.
The five road projects include Yamunanagar-Panchkula in Haryana, Patna-Buxar in Bihar, Sidhi-Singrauli in Madhya Pradesh, Birmitrapur Barkote in Orissa and Vijayawada Gundugolanu in Andhra Pradesh.
"All of these projects have been financially closed through different large banks and institutions and so it does sort of give us a very strong sense of comfort that the projects will now gradually progress on its implementation phase," Parikh said.
Also read: Gammon Infra to commission 3 key projects in 12-15 mths
Gammon Infra has commisioned three large projects over last one and half year, which has led to rise in the company's interest cost. However, the company's revenues have also grown correspondingly. "We reported a consolidated top-line of over Rs 500 crore for nine months, which is significantly higher than the corresponding nine month period for the last year and that has more to do with the fact that these revenues have now started getting recognized," Parikh added.
Below is the edited transcript of the interview.
Q: Very recently the company has secured underwriting for the financial closure of five road projects. Could you provide us more details on this and what's the tune of financial closure that you have achieved?
A: Yes, we had won a set of road projects, which from time to time have been announced to the stock exchanges. These have been a clutch of road build-operate-transfer (BOT) toll projects across the different states of the country. So for example, we have one in Haryana called Yamunanagar-Panchkula. We had one at Patna-Buxar, which is in Bihar, as well as we have Sidhi-Singrauli in the state of Madhya Pradesh and a couple of them more to add in. All these projects have been awarded to us where the concession agreements have also been signed over a period of time. The leverages are different for different projects and it also holds a significant piece of grant of over Rs 1,000 crore all put together.
All of these projects have been financially closed through different large banks and institutions, so it does sort of give us a very strong sense of comfort that the projects will now gradually progress on its implementation phase.
Q: Can you take us through your debt position? Your interest outgo has been rising continuously. What is the total debt? Is there a plan to deleverage?
A: Once the projects gets commissioned, i.e. post implementation the interest cost of this debt starts beginning to reflect in the profit and loss statement. In last one and half year three large projects have got commissioned including the Mumbai-Nashik Expressway, the Kosi Bridge Annuity Project and Gorakhpur Road Annuity.
Now as these projects get commissioned the interest cost, which have to be paid to the debt move from the capitalisation phase to the profit and loss (P&L) statement and therefore when you see the P&L you see the interest cost rising.
However, one will have to keep in mind that as these projects have got commissioned they have also added onto the corresponding revenue line. For example Kosi Bridge by itself has an annual revenue of a little over Rs 64 crore. The Gorakhpur Annuity has an annuity of Rs 96 crore annually and so is the case with Nashik where we are having an annual revenue of upwards of Rs 120 crore. So, these three projects have its revenue lines getting met up and along with that depending on the leverages the interest cost for this debt also move into P&L.
So, I would say that while in an very isolated process one would see that the interest cost has risen over a period of time, but we have reported consolidated top-line of over Rs 500 crore for nine months, significantly higher than the corresponding nine month period for the last year and that has more to do with the fact that these revenues have now started getting recognised. To that extent, we are reporting improvement of 60 per cent in consolidated earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization.
Q: Any new projects on which you are facing cost overruns?
A: In terms of the newer projects that we have just announced, clearly any kinds of cost overruns are about atleast two-two and half years away.
On the existing projects, which have got commissioned, certainly in that sense you put a cap and ceiling to the project cost. On the projects which are under implementation, clearly there are sometimes where you see that there is a little bit of cost overrun and more often than not, when this is due to clients, you tend to represent back to the client for extensions of time and cost claims.
Q: How much of your debt could you deleverage in FY14?
A: The projects are getting financially closed with a combination of a debt and equity. These are all non-recourse project financings and therefore the cash flows of the projects, which are getting commissioned are able to absorb and service the debt obligations of the project. As any sort of stakeholder who promotes these special purpose vehicles (SPVs), Gammon Infrastructure as the sponsor of these vehicles would like to sort of see enhancement of equity returns. To that extent there is no reason for us to sort of look at reduction of debt in terms of the project SPVs.
Q: Errant company Gammon India has been admitted into the corporate debt restructuring cell, any kind of an impact that would have?
A: The two entities are separately listed. Gammon Infrastructure is primarily an infrastructure developer, which involves itself in participating into private financial infrastructure projects, whilst the other entity of the group is more into the core engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) engineering business. So, the business is itself a very different and therefore across the stakeholders should look at it very differently.
Q: Are you seeing any improvement in your order book, Gammon Infrastructure?
A: Since, we have received this five-six recently awarded projects over the last 9-12 months and with the last one being a Mormugao single port terminal for mechanisation as late as the fourth quarter. We want to consolidate our existing opportunities in the same breadth. Even from a perspective of opportunities, I think from the government client side there is a general slowdown in putting out newer projects.

UNLV vs. No. 12 Wisconsin
UNLV Rebels (0-0) vs. Wisconsin Badgers (0-0)
Where: Sam Boyd Stadium
When: 8 p.m.
Coaches: Bobby Hauck is in his first season at UNLV and 80-17 in seven overall seasons; Bret Bielema is 38-14 in his four seasons at Wisconsin, which is his first head coaching job.
Series: Wisconsin leads, 6-2
Last time: Wisconsin won, 20-13, on Sept. 8, 2007, in Las Vegas.
Line: Wisconsin by 20.5
TV/Radio: Versus/ESPN Radio 1100-AM
Rebel to watch: All eyes will be on junior quarterback Mike Clausen, who unseated two-year starter and close friend Omar Clayton and will open the season leading the UNLV offense. Clausen started once last year, but played in all 12 games, completing 52 of 88 pass attempts for 463 yards, four touchdowns and two picks. More impressive, though, was that he was the Rebels' second-leading rusher, with 288 yards and seven touchdowns on 69 attempts. He's a well-built 6-foot-2, 220-pounder whose ability to run the ball and keep the chains — and clock — moving could give UNLV at least a fighting chance against a Big Ten powerhouse.
Badger to watch: Junior running back John Clay was last year's Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year, and he's a likely favorite to repeat. Against what was a porous run defense a year ago, Clay will be looking for big numbers behind a veteran offensive line. That line helped him pile up 1,517 yards and 18 TDs in 2009, averaging a more-than-strong 5.3 yards per carry.
The Rebel Room
'As the MWC world turns,' and Wisconsin heads to town
Ryan Greene and Ray Brewer end a brief hiatus from the Rebel Room to not only discuss the ongoing movement both in and out by Mountain West Conference members, but also take a look at this weekend's UNLV football opener against No. 12 Wisconsin at Sam Boyd Stadium.
Reader poll
From the first day Bobby Hauck was on the job as UNLV's new head football coach back in December, it was no secret that the schedule he faced in his inaugural season in Las Vegas would be murderous.
Now, after months of talking about how rough the terrain looks, it's now time to explore it.
First up on the 13-game docket that includes nine teams that played in bowl games a year ago is No. 12 Wisconsin. The Badgers are a top-tier team in the strong Big Ten Conference, and plenty of the buzz surrounding them heading into 2010 stems from a 20-14 victory over Miami in last year's Champs Sports Bowl — a game which was not as close as the score indicates.
Experienced and big, the Badgers hope to avoid an early non-conference pitfall at Sam Boyd Stadium, where they narrowly escaped the Rebels in a 20-13 victory on Sept. 8, 2007.
As for UNLV, it's all about setting a strong tone to kick off the Hauck era.
With the game finally upon us, here's a look at what will matter most come Saturday's 8 p.m. kickoff.
1) How improved will you be, really?
No area needs improving more for UNLV than the run defense. The numbers tell the story. The Rebels, last season, ranked 112th out of 120 Football Bowl Subdivision programs in the category, succumbing 220.58 yards per game the old-fashioned way.
With a new defensive scheme under coordinator Kraig Paulson, it truly looks as if the Rebels will be more aggressive and attack-minded, taking more chances when trying to cut drives short.
There is no bigger challenge to start off with than what Wisconsin brings to the table, with an offense headlined by junior running back John Clay. Clay is the reigning Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year, having totaled 1,517 yards and 18 touchdowns on 287 totes in 2009. If it's any consolation, the Badgers' second- and third-leading rushers from a year ago — sophomore Montee Ball and senior Zach Brown — are also back. That duo combined for 670 yards and seven rushing scores last season.
Clay, who underwent surgery on both ankles this offseason, probably won't see the same workload he did during games a year ago as he's easing back into form, but there's a whole stable of players behind him ready to fill in the holes.
Combine them with an experienced offensive line and an efficient, veteran quarterback Scott Tolzien, and it's pretty clear what Wisconsin intends to do.
UNLV's best chance for survival as a nearly three-touchdown underdog is to keep Clay & Co. from moving the first down markers. Last year, the Badgers averaged 10.5 rushing first downs a game, while UNLV gave up 120 of them in 12 games.
With that said, the three most important guys on the field for UNLV might be senior tackles Isaako Aaitui and Ramsey Feagai and senior middle linebacker Ronnie Paulo.
Aaitui, a legitimate NFL prospect at 6-foot-4 and 315 pounds, emerged in fall camp as the leader of the UNLV defense up front, and needs to be a common visitor in Wisconsin's backfield. As for Paulo, he's been one of UNLV's best tacklers over the past two seasons when healthy, which he is to start the season.
Whether the run defense is improved might not be known completely judging by just one game, but it will give a pretty decent indication.
2) It's Clausen's turn
Over the past two seasons, there has been no hesitation in giving Mike Clausen the reins to the UNLV offense, be it for a series or two a game or in a spot start when Omar Clayton went down to injury.
Now, he's taking the lead and getting a chance to establish himself as the Rebels' starter for good.
The 6-foot-2, 220-pound junior made up big-time ground late in training camp in the race to earn the start against Wisconsin, and Hauck even admitted that it truly came down to the wire.
Despite Clayton putting up strong numbers in the shotgun spread offense over the past two seasons, Clausen might be the more logical fit in what is described as a ball-control offense.
The Rebels will look to keep the clock moving primarily by utilizing the ground game, and Clausen a year ago was the team's second-leading rusher, totaling 288 yards on 69 attempts, scoring seven times. He's well-built and durable, and he has looked good running the ball in Hauck's offense so far in camp.
The biggest thing for Clausen, though, is just not making mistakes. He was 52-of-88 passing the ball in 2009, with 463 yards, four TDs and two picks. He won't have to take as many downfield chances in the new offense, and his strong arm will fit the short-passing game well. For as tough as it will be to keep Wisconsin's offense off of the field, giving the Badgers extra possessions only makes the waters choppier.
3) Home field advantage?
Well, the stands will be packed with red. We know that much.
In previous trips to Sam Boyd Stadium, the well-traveled Wisconsin faithful have essentially made it a home game away from home.
However, a tough economy, combined with inflated hotel and airfare rates for the holiday weekend, have kept the Badger fans from scooping up as many tickets for the UNLV game as they have in the past.
As it stands right now, roughly 30,000 tickets have been sold for the game, and Sam Boyd holds roughly 36,000. Who will have the edge in the stands? Despite back-to-back 5-7 seasons, interest among the Rebels fan base appears to have spiked a bit out of intrigue with Hauck now at the helm.
No matter who has more fans, though, the edge in this department might go to UNLV by default. Why? The weather.
Forecasts have temperatures peaking at 107 degrees on Saturday. Yes, the game will kick off right at sundown, but temperatures will most likely still be in the triple digits. UNLV has practiced in the ridiculously dry desert heat for a good portion of fall camp. Wisconsin has not. What kind of effect will that have on the Badgers in, say, the fourth quarter?
4) Playmakers, please stand up
Wisconsin returns six starters from a unit that ranked 17th in the FBS last season in total defense (305.69 yards per game). The Badgers have a strong history of simply reloading, too, on that side of the ball.
To crack the force field, UNLV will need the immediate emergence of some fresh playmakers.
At the skill positions, junior receiver Phillip Payne obviously leads the charge for UNLV. In two seasons as a Rebel, the Las Vegas native has totaled 1,097 yards on 87 catches and, most impressive, 14 touchdowns in just 21 career games.
But with record-holder Ryan Wolfe now gone, Payne has the added pressure of performing as a No. 1 receiver.
Some help around him wouldn't hurt.
After being UNLV's strongest position for a few years, the Rebels need some young receivers to step up. Behind Payne and fellow junior Michael Johnson, a likely candidate to emerge is freshman Marcus Sullivan.
The Cheyenne High grad grayshirted a year ago for academic reasons but is possibly the Rebels' fastest offensive threat. Should he get the ball in space, he's going to spread a defense out quickly.
5) Intangibles, intangibles
Do they matter? Well, we'll see, but there are a few worth mentioning.
Outside of the weather, the other oddity UNLV has going for it is a lack of true game film for Wisconsin to study up on. The Badgers' staff had to bone up on twice as much as the UNLV coaches did, needing to take in film of Hauck's Montana teams to get a feel for their style, but also UNLV's film from a year ago for a sense of the Rebels' personnel.
The idea of a team playing a little bit over its head in its first game under a new coach is intriguing, but in the recent past, it's been hard to derail Wisconsin early in the schedule.
Despite a few close calls — including the UNLV game in 2007 — Wisconsin seems to find a way, having won its last 12 season openers.

Long-time United fans will remember Gordon Bradley's work as a color analyst for games on Home Team Sports (now Comcast SportsNet). After a lengthy period in the early stages of Alzheimer's Disease, Gordon was admitted to Prince William Hospital on March 10, spending six days there due to complications with his ongoing battle with this disease. He has since been moved to a full care facility in Manassas which has a specialized Alzheimer's wing and is now under hospice care. As you may know, this is a difficult and painful journey for all involved.
I e-mailed with Gordon's son Paul recently, who shared some insight into Gordon's struggles. He writes: "Unless someone has first hand knowledge of this disease, they will be hard pressed to cope with the cruelty and ugliness of how this has devastated Gordon." Paul and Gordon's wife, Vera, often sit with Gordon and tell him stories from the past and would love any notes or stories that United fans may want to share with Gordon. For those that would like to send a note, please forward to Paul at firstname.lastname@example.com who may want to visit Gordon in person should also arrange through Paul. Those wishing to make charitable contributions in Gordon's name may do so at either www.alz.org or www.capitalhospice.org.
Our thoughts are with Gordon and his family during this very trying time.

Volleyball gears up for BRC Tourney
The Raider volleyball team will look to get healthy and back on the winning track at the Big Rivers Conference Volleyball Tournament Saturday, Oct. 17 in River Falls.
The Raiders were swept by Chippewa Falls in their final conference dual match of the season last Tuesday before taking sixth at the 12-team Mora, Minn. Invitational Saturday with a depleted roster due to illness.
Last Tuesday's loss to the Cardinals leaves the Raiders with a BRC mark of 3-3 heading into Saturday's tournament. The Raiders lost in three sets, 17-25, 18-25, 22-25.
"With the rest of the conference still playing this week, it looks like we are likely to finish about fourth," head coach Dennis Saathoff said. "We really struggled with energy in the match, and great defense played by Chippewa negated most of our kill attempts."
Jamie Lindstrom and Kristen Briggs had the most success for the Raiders at the net, with Lindstrom recording seven of the team's 16 kills. Amber Saathoff had 10 of the Raiders' 15 set assists and three of their nine service aces while Elizabeth Gagliardi led the team in digs and Stephanie Little was tops in blocks. Kirsten Iverson added one service ace and one defensive dig.
Saturday at Mora, a shorthanded Raider team dropped their opening match in round robin play, 27-25, 17-25, 10-15, to North Branch.
"We were our own biggest problem in this match by making many service errors and unforced hitting errors," Saathoff said.
Hudson bounced back to defeat Princeton, 25-23, and won their first match in the playoff bracket, 23-25, 25-15, 15-7 over Pillager. They then lost the fifth place match to Carlton, 17-25, 11-25.
"With our reduced ranks, we ended up with some girls playing in spots that they normally would not have to play in," Saathoff said. "It took some time in the round robin for them to start getting comfortable with this, and then they played quite well in the first round of playoffs."
Saathoff said Megan Kelly, the only Raider setter available for the tournament, did a nice job of feeding middle hitters Stephanie Little and Briggs.
"We scored a lot of points as the blockers were not quick enough to counteract our attack," he said. "In the second and third sets, Jamie Lindstrom also heated up on the outside for quite a few kills of her own."
Saathoff said Gagliardi played solid defense and contributed several service aces.
"In the last match, it looked like the long day without much rest took its toll on the team," he said.
Saturday's BRC Tournament gets underway at 10 a.m. at River Falls High School. WIAA regional play begins Thursday, Oct. 22.

WE'RE HEARING competition in the correspondent channel is heating up and some banks are reaching out to mortgage brokers and asking them to join their "mini-correspondent" programs.
The intent is to convert brokers into mortgage bankers by offering them warehouse lines so they can fund their own loans.
The banks realize the brokers are entering a whole new world with the qualified mortgage rule going into effect in January. The brokers are going to get squeezed by the 3% cap on points and fees, since their entire check from their wholesaler counts towards the 3% cap.
Becoming a mini-correspondent eliminates that hardship. They still have to contend with the QM rule's cap on points and fees. But the only compensation counted toward the 3% cap is the loan officer's comp.
Wells Fargo Funding executive vice president Eric Stoddard noted that the brokers are seeking relief from the QM rule. "The industry is watching to see what happens to brokers and the wholesale market and if there is more migration toward the mini-correspondent model," he said.
Stoddard stressed in an interview that Wells Fargo does not offer a mini-correspondent program. As the nation's largest correspondent lender, Wells Fargo Funding is staying with its traditional correspondent model of buying mortgages from mortgage banking companies, banks and other depository institutions.
Back on the banks of the Potomac, it was filibuster time on Capitol Hill. Republicans' success in filibustering Rep. Mel Watt could lead to their undoing if President Obama sacks the current GSE regulator Edward DeMarco.
The president has selected the North Carolina congressman to run the Federal Housing Finance Agency because it is time for an individual with proven legislative skills to work with Congress in forging legislation that winds down Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and replaces them with a new secondary market structure.
However, GOP senators are very comfortable with the current FHFA acting director and his plans for gradually downsizing the GSEs in the absence of legislative action.
But DeMarco has lost favor with a lot of industry groups. They are no longer pleased by his talk of reducing the GSE loan limits and raising the guarantee fees by another 10 basis points, even if he delays such actions until mid-2014.
We are hearing that the White House also is tired of DeMarco who seems to think he is all-powerful due to his Republican support in the House and Senate.
But some people just don't know when to leave. If Watt is not confirmed, don't be surprised if the little Caesar is sacked and the president appoints someone else to be the GSE regulator.
Mark Fogarty is editorial director of the SourceMedia Mortgage Group and has been commenting on the mortgage market since 1984. Brian Collins is the group's senior editor and D.C. bureau chief. He has worked the mortgage beat since 1988.

Plane in Flames at Logan Turns Out to be a Training Exercise
An image of a burning plane at Logan Airport shared over social media raised concerns this morning. It turns out it was another Massport training exercise.
The Massachusetts Port Authority confirmed to Boston.com they are conducting a training exercise at the airport this morning. An image of the fiery plane was taken by the Travel Channel's Andrew Zimmern and is circulating on Twitter.
Reached this morning by Boston.com, Matt Brelis, a spokesman for Massport said: "The fire is not on the tarmac it's on the airfield. This is something we do 3-4 times a week for training. It's really not such a big deal.'' Brelis also said Massport would "probably release something on it later today since it got so much attention.''
As of 11:30 this morning Massport did not comment on today's training exercise on Twitter or on their website.
Today's training exercise is the second at Logan in a matter of months that has sparked concern on social media. On September 11, 2013 – twelve years to the day after 9/11 – another training exercise that involved smoke on the Logan airfield was called "just dumb'' by Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick. Massport apologized then for not having made an announcement.

The most that USC and UCLA could be playing for is bragging rights against each other, as the Trojans are eligible for post season play, and the Bruins may not be good enough to make it. Last year Robert Woods (13) helped USC defeat UCLA 28-14. Photo by Jeff Lewis
UCLA begins the season in Houston, while USC opens against Minnesota. Both games are Saturday at 12:30.
By Jason Lewis
Sentinel Sports Editor
USC and UCLA have different objectives this season, neither of which may include a post-season game.
UCLA, unlike USC, is eligible to play in the PAC-12 championship game and a bowl game, but from the looks of it, they might be sitting at home like USC when other teams are celebrating their season in late December and early January.
UCLA appears to have two quarterbacks, which really means that they do not have a quarterback to get behind.
Junior Kevin Prince has been named the starter for a third consecutive season, but Richard Brehaut will play, according to UCLA head coach Rick Neuheisel.
If UCLA cannot pass the ball like last season it will make it tough on UCLA's running game, which was very good last year behind Johnathan Franklin's 1,127 yards.
On the defensive side of the ball UCLA looks deep in their front seven, and getting defensive end Datone Jones (Compton HS) back from a broken foot that cost him all of last year, will help them a lot.
UCLA is going to need a much better effort out of their front seven, which allowed 205 rushing yards per game, which was 108th in the nation.
Last season UCLA's pass defense was decent, but with safety Rahim Moore (Dorsey HS) leaving for the NFL, they might have problems back there as well.
Head coach Rick Neuheisel is a smooth talker and is beloved at UCLA, but at some point enough is going to be enough. This team has to win now or find a new coach. But Neuheisel may not have the talent to save his job.
USC is in a different boat. They are really playing for next year, when they will be able to play in the post season and make a run at the national title.
It all depends on quarterback Matt Barkley. If he has a big year and is projected to be selected in the first round of next year's NFL Draft, then he could be gone. But if he comes back, he will have a ton of weapons at his disposal because USC is very young on the offensive side of the ball.
USC has only one senior in the offensive starting unit, and only one senior on their second team, so most of the players that they are counting on will be returning.
Looking at their wide receivers, three of the top four on the depth chart are Robert Woods, a sophomore, and freshmen Marqise Lee and Kyle Prater. Senior Bandon Carswell is listed on the second team.
If Barkley comes back, and his offensive has one more year of experience, USC could have an extremely explosive offense.
On the defensive side of the ball, they are not waiting until next season to fix their problems, they are trying to fix them right now.
Last year USC had one of their worst defenses in years. They were ranked 49th against the run and a miserable 109th against the pass.
This year's defense has a number of seniors and juniors in their front seven, and a pair of juniors at safety. But they do not have much experience at cornerback, where sophomores Torin Harris and Nickell Robey are going to have to come through big time to improve their passing defense.
USC should not have a problem with Minnesota in the home opener, and their schedule does not look impossible. They could make a run at the PAC 12 championship game… if they were not on probation.

Lings restaurant
ON SEPTEMBER 12, we published a report about three County Wicklow businesses being served with closure orders by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland.
We mentioned that Lings restaurant, 10B Albert Walk, Bray, whose closure order was lifted on 2 August having been served the previous day and we mistakenly said that the closure order was served on 11 August and lifted on 21 August. We confirm that the closure order was served on 1 August and lifted on 2 August and we apologise for the mistake.

(although it doesnt look like his eagle... so i cant say it was that easy...) But the hard part is shading and i definitely am not happy with my shading skills so this took me like an hour to shade... Im ok with how it turned out but would really like to get my shading down:):):)

Up to now, I am quite impressed with the usability of the software with different screen readers, thanks Steve. However, I found the user manual, or, the help file within the software little confusing. I was wondering if anyone who may be using this software can give me some guidance on the following please. I have a book in text format as well as MP3. The book is separated into MP3 files sentence by sentence; and the text is in single document, which can be separated into single files as sentences. I know on the manufacturer's webpage, it says that the full text and full audio can be synchronised, i.e. you could have a DAISY book with text and audio together in a single DAISY book. Looking at the help section of MAX, it is not really clear how I can get these two synchronised. I can create either text or audio DAISY book, but, not two together. Anyone has any recommendation, or, better, step by step instruction to do this please? -------------------- Thank you.

Best laptop for an average, non-techy gal for personal use?
I download games from gamefish occasionally but mostly use it for surfing the web and email. I'm pretty much tech-ignorant; I just open it up and start typing so I really know nothing about flash storage or graphics. Love my MacBook, but it's a pain to travel with and doesn't have a lighted keyboard.
- Asked by Pam D from Bandon
3 Answers from the Community
Hi Pam,
I think you should buy a 11' or 13' ( Screen Size ) MacBook Air because it fits your type ( Backlit keyboard, Lightweight, Fast and Thin ). .
The 13' has got more resolution and more default storage space. It also has a slightly better processor (speed).
But think about your disk drive needs as in whether you frequently work with cd's because the MacBook Air does not have a inbuilt Cd drive but you can always buy an external one.
Also if you want to hold on to your laptop for more than 3 years, get it with 8gb RAM as it helps multitasking and increases longetivity as in more number of years before it gets cranky and slow.
Your gaming needs will be satisfied by this machine.
But if you really need a cd or DVD drive then go for the base level 13' MacBook Pro but it would be bulkier. It is a tad faster but since it used HDD( slower than the SSD used in MacBook Air ) , you won't find the difference. The pros to buying this is user upgradablity as in you can always upgrade the RAM and Storage Capacity.

Thanks for the advice. I was leaning towards the 13 inch Air but wanted to make sure I wasn't choosing it just because I love the way it looks. Your answer gave me much better reasons. :) Really appreciate it.

1. All MacBooks now have a lighted keyboard.
2. The macbook air is the lightest, but has less screen space (for the cheapest one), and less hard drive.

Detainees have escaped Nauru detention centre during a riot involving 150 asylum seekers.
The Department of Immigration has confirmed security and police have been called to break up a disturbance but at 8.30pm AEST had not yet got it under control.
A spokeswoman for the department said people had been injured but would not confirm reports people had been taken to hospital or that fires had been lit.
She confirmed detainees had escaped but would not say how many.
"It is very early stages so we do not want to speculate," she said.
She said 150 detainees in the centre – which houses only single males – were involved in the "non-compliance behaviour".
Reports of the riot began before the prime minister's new asylum seeker policy announcement and it was not believed the two were linked.
The prime minister signed an agreement with Papua New Guinea on Friday afternoon to resettle all asylum seekers who come to Australia by boat in PNG if they are found to be refugees.
The government also plans to expand facilities on its other offshore detention centre on Manus Island which have already come under fire from the United Nations who found all detainees were showing signs of depression.

Birth control for male cockroaches
From San Francisco, at the spring national meeting of the American Chemical Society
The next time a male cockroach checks into a roach motel it might be surprised to find family-planning services included.
In what may be the first step toward developing cockroach birth control, Cornell University entomologists Zhimou Wen and Jeffrey G. Scott identified several genes for a family of enzymes, called P450 proteins, that German cockroaches use to break down insecticides and other toxic compounds.
The researchers found one of the P450 proteins in the reproductive system of male cockroaches, Wen announced. The researchers don't yet know what the protein does. The new P450 could regulate hormone levels in the male cockroach, says Scott. Or, if the male passes the enzyme along with its sperm, it might help protect newly fertilized eggs by breaking down pesticides in the female.

Border guards in Marine City, MI caught a scuba diver trying to smuggle eight-pounds of pot into the US from Canada.
A tipster called in to report a suspicious swimmer coming into the US across the St. Clair River. Surveillance camera operators honed in on the swimmer and could see he was dragging a dry bag used by scuba divers to bring stuff with them and keep it dry.
Border patrol agents met him when he emerged from the water and found a large watertight container with about 8-pounds of weed inside.
The Canadian man was turned over to the US Drug task force.

Discussion in 'Strings [BG]' started by Yawn 512, Sep 16, 2012.
Hey, do any of you guys know what strings Duff used to record the "Appetite for destruction" album?
I'm sure he used Rotosounds. You can pretty much copy his tone with a Fender with both P/J pups, Roto's, and settibg your mids full on.
His signature bass is fantastic to play.
Thanks for that mate, I've got a P-Bass so I'm have way there
Don't forget a chorus pedal turned up to '10'!
I won't
Not sure about the album... But I have seen pictures of him on tour for appetite with Rotosound Nexus black coated with the multi colored silks...
Backe then, those strings were called "Spacers". Black anodized stainless steel roundwounds with multicolored silk wraps. I bought six sets and although they sounded great, the anodized black would wear off pretty quickly. Then they changed to "Silver Spacer"; nickelplated steel roundwounds with multicolored silks. Then they were discontinued.
So Rotosound with a G&K amp, is my best bet
And make it a GK 800RB too.
Currently they have a black polymer coating and use a nickel iron alloy..
On my way to the shop right now.
Yes the flangy crispy tone comes from the chorus as much as from the strings.
Despite having a signature bass, I wonder how many times he uses his beloved Aerodyne Jass instead?
To get what?
If going for the Rotosound Nexus let me know if they have. I would be surprised.
Strings on the P-Bass and yes they're nexus strings wow! Yeah the boys up the road know what there doing.
Awesome! Glad you were able to get a set!!!
Enjoy them, they are pretty sweet
duff mckagan bass strings are mentioned on itsabass
Duff f----n McKagan. Comon' guys. Duff McKagan?
Its bad form to poo poo on others dreams but I hear what youre saying.
Whatever happened to having to mask vulgarity on this forum???

Does your child's school have a mission statement...
and do you and your child know what it is?
Yep. Respectful, Responsible, Resourceful.
"Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification" Romans 14:19
"The mission of _________ Elementary is to provide a nurturing environment in which to develop the mind and character of each student by guiding, encouraging, and challenging them to achieve the academic, creative, and social skills needed for success."
I hope not, because I think they're a silly waste of time (they spent hours on ours at work and it still came out stupid and nobody has ever used it for anything), but probably there is one.
Our school's mission statement used to hang on a banner by the front door but when they changed entrances the banner was taken down. I have no idea what the mission statement is.
Our mission statement is LAME! "To educate each and every student of XXXXXXXXX school. If each is successful, all are successful."
Their vision statement is shockingly complex in comparison.
Yes, but I have no idea what it is. I can look at the website to find out what it is.

Around three years ago, Liberty Media invested $204 million into Barnes & Noble, the struggling U.S. bookstore chain. Now Liberty Media Corporation is dropping its stake in Barnes & Noble by 90%. Liberty Media's holdings will be dropped to around 1.66% from its previous 16.6% that was acquired in 2011 through a preferred stock investment.
Liberty Media is selling a majority of its holding to institutional investors. The name of the buyer was not named.
When Liberty Media bought the stake, the company was in talks to buy Barnes & Noble for $1 billion. Barnes & Noble was introducing the Nook e-reader device around that time. The deal talks fell apart since it was difficult to put a value on the Nook. The Nook competes against the Apple iPad and Amazon Kindle.
Two years ago, Barnes & Noble created a Nook Media Unit, which Microsoft owns 18% of. Pearson LLC has a 5% stake in the unit. Earlier this year, Barnes & Noble CEO Michael Huseby said that Nook Media may sell or be spun off.
By selling its stake, Liberty Media will lose the right to name two members to the Barnes & Noble board of directors. Liberty senior vice president Mark Carleton will remain on the board.

Five days after Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell (R) announced a new round of matching grants for 13 of the state's Civil War battlefields, the Civil War Trust has declared victory in its campaign to save 56 acres, costing $3.6 million, at the Brandy Station Battlefield . The grant was the final piece of the financial puzzle the Trust needed to make the purchase.
The announcement of $2,252,663 in grants was made Thursday at Ball's Bluff Regional Park near Leesburg. Besides Brandy Station, the funds will assist these battlefields to either purchase land or obtain easements:
Virginia funds its matching grant program through the Civil War Site Preservation Fund that McDonnell and the General Assembly established as a permanent fund in 2010.

Hello all... I'm reading these emails for awhile and I really don't care if the operator is on site or not for a SO category, but one thing came up on my mind. If a MS operation thru remote site with each member spread out all over the world to just operate during his day light time zone, is kinda unfair. or not? When everybody is at same site, you must switch operators to rest at night and others to keep all night long (kinda of strategy)and this drain your strength a lot. But if you have someone in PY, JA, G, W6 doing a MS operation, then everyone can rest at night smoothly, because the time zone.

(12-4, AFC North champions)
1:45 p.m. Sunday at Heinz Field
Seems like only yesterday the Chargers last played in the biting cold and snow of Pittsburgh, losing another close game they might've won, yet it seems like an entirely different San Diego team the Steelers are preparing for this time around. San Diego players and coaches will tell you that even though the Chargers would lose their next two games as well to fall to 4-8, Pittsburgh was the place where they finally began to play like the team they were supposed to be from the start.
At the same time, the Steelers used that game as a springboard to five straight victories. They continued living up to the Steel Curtain tradition with a No. 1 league ranking in total and pass defense, including the No. 2 rating in run defense. Still, it's almost inconceivable that Pittsburgh can win again without scoring a touchdown, something the Steelers did in that 11-10 victory of Nov. 16. Thirteen penalties can have that effect.
Going into that game, the questions had to do with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger's shoulder, which worked sufficiently for 308 yards passing (on 31-of-41) against the Chargers. Now he's coming off a regular-season finale wherein he sustained a severe concussion, and while the first-round bye was hard-earned and merciful, Roethlisberger's again got people wondering how effective he can be Sunday.
Given his condition and his own vulnerability to the sack – the Chargers got him four times – Roethlisberger may be unloading the ball faster than usual to keep the defense from unloading on him so much. A much-improved San Diego defense can hope, too, that Roethlisberger will become even more prone to interceptions than he already is.
The Steelers rank 20th in scoring, 22nd in total offense and can be rather fumble-prone, although they lost just 10 of their 28 bobbles. With their defense – no opposing quarterback threw for 300 yards against Pittsburgh and no running back broke the 100-yard mark – they can afford to be.
James Harrison, LB: If you have trouble spotting him, try looking somewhere near the opposing quarterback, and chances are he'll come into view. Harrison pretty much had a season in the November game against the Chargers. He intercepted a pass to kill a promising San Diego drive, then actually provided the only non-field goal score for Pittsburgh, getting to Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers in the end zone and forcing a fumble that became a safety. He finished the season with 16 sacks and the NFL's recognition as Defensive Player of the Year.
Hines Ward, WR: By now, much of Ward's reputation has been forged by the physicality of his play, so intense and uber-aggressive that opponents have been compelled to put bounties on his head as revenge for his hits. Against the Chargers, a lot of the Pittsburgh bounty was found in the number of catches made by Ward, who recorded four of his season-high 11 receptions in the Steelers' 73-yard drive to the game-winning field goal.
Troy Polamalu, SS: A week after having to cope with super-safety Bob Sanders, the Chargers get to play the "other" one, the guy who proved quite nettlesome to them in the regular-season game. The Chargers contended Polamalu's interception touched the grass as he scooped it up with a single hand, though referees ruled it a catch, but the refs admitted they blew it when nullifying Polamalu's touchdown after he got his hands on a bad lateral and ran it into the end zone. (Bettors are still howling.) Perhaps most importantly, Polamalu had the greatest hand in limiting Chargers tight end Antonio Gates to just two catches. And he won't have to worry about any head-on collisions with LaDainian Tomlinson.
Roethlisberger received a "clean bill of health" from team doctors, said Steelers coach Mike Tomlin yesterday, adding his team is as healthy as it's been all season.
In more ways than one, the good news for the Chargers this week is that it's the Pittsburgh in the postseason, not the regular season. Close as they came in mid-November, the Chargers still haven't won a regular-season game in the Steel City, and that now covers 13 contests. But the two times they did prevail at Pittsburgh, it was in the playoffs – after the 1982 and '94 seasons. The latter was the biggest victory in Chargers history, the only win ever to put San Diego in the Super Bowl. Overall, the Steelers have won 20 of 28 games against San Diego. (And both those postseason games were at Three Rivers Stadium; the Chargers are 0-2 at Heinz Field.)
James Harrison is the fifth Steelers player to win NFL Defensive Player of the Year. The first three – "Mean" Joe Greene, Mel Blount and Jack Lambert – are in the Hall of Fame. The fourth, Rod Woodson, is expected to join them in Canton this year.
"I don't know. I forget." – A smiling Roethlisberger after passing his fourth post-concussion test, asked how he'd done on the first three.
3-4. Steelers record against the 2008 playoff field.
6-9. Steelers' postseason record against teams now in the AFC West, including 0-2 versus Chargers.
11-1. Steelers' home record in divisional playoff games at home.
13.9. Average points allowed per game by Steelers defense in 2008.
14. Straight games in which the Steelers held 2008 opponents to fewer than 300 yards in total offense.
16-10. Steelers' postseason record at home.
24. Postseason berths by the Steelers since the merger of 1970, second only to the Dallas Cowboys (25).
39. Touchdowns by Hines Ward on plays in the red zone since 2002.

The product tastes great! But I won't buy them again until the whey protein is removed. IGF-1 promotes cancer growth and is found in whey protein. Is it added to boost the protein content on the label? One doesn't eat toaster pastries for the protein.
I bought these for my daughter because she can't have red dye, which is in almost all of another brand. She LOVES them and thinks they're pretty since sprinkles are a rare treat for her now. I just tried them and not only are they delicious they are actually filling. Can't wait to try other flavors!

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
I had the opportunity to use the lens at a college basketball game and was quite pleased with the performance of the lens with my D3200 camera. Lighting in the gym wasn't the best, but the lens coupled with higher ISO and shutter priority worked better than I thought it would. I wasn't close, but the lens brought me close to the action on the floor. The lens opening could be larger, but not within the price; it is a good deal.

Analysis: Barak's hopes fade
By Middle East analyst Roger Hardy
A week of bloodshed has transformed the situation in the Middle East and radically altered the priorities of the peacemakers.
The urgent task now is to end the cycle of violence.
Even then it will be extremely hard to resume the talks which began at the Camp David summit in July on the core issues of an Israeli-Palestinian peace settlement.
With only three weeks left before the return of the Israeli parliament from its summer recess, Prime Minister Ehud Barak has precious little time to reach an agreement.
With no agreement, his minority agreement seems doomed to fall.
'Humiliating U-turn'
Mr Barak is preparing for the worst by instructing his officials to hold secret talks with the right-wing Likud Party. The aim is to create a government of national unity - or what some are calling a government of national emergency.
The situation is replete with irony. Having criticised Likud leader Ariel Sharon for his controversial visit last week to Jerusalem's holy shrines - the incident many see as the trigger of the current violence - Mr Barak is now seeking him out as a political partner.
There is no guarantee that it will work, and in any case it cannot be the prime minister's preferred solution. Having staked his political credibility on achieving a historic compromise with the Palestinians, it would be a humiliating U-turn for Mr Barak to give up now.

It is with mixed emotions that I tell you this was my last week competing in Creating with the Stars.
It was such an amazing experience, and the creating part was a blast. I really didn't mind the sleepless nights or the running to Homegoods for the right accessory to get the perfect shot before I lost sunlight. It was such a thrill, and I couldn't have enjoyed it more.
I will say, keeping it a secret was very tough, especially when your friends tell you they're voting for projects that aren't yours. Each week my jaw dropped to the ground as I saw what the other contestants had done. The time and talent was incredible, and it was just an honor to have my work shown alongside theirs.
But I feel like I'm going out on a high note. I felt so good about this one, and it almost made me want another baby (almost). When I decided to do this pattern, I thought it would be perfect for a kid's room. I actually painted it in our living room (it's the wall behind where the couch sits now, where the big thrift store art I upcycled hangs) and staged the nursery with borrowed and purchased items. It's a perfect representation of my style: clean and classic with something a bit exciting – that green! A little pattern, a little sheepskin, some modern, some traditional; I wouldn't change a thing.
While I'm sad to be leaving Creating with the Stars behind, I'm so excited for all that April has to bring. Micah has been working long hours on our master bathroom remodel, and I know he'll be glad to have me back at his side. We've got some pretty crazy deadlines for something really exciting happening the last week of April. But with no immediate deadlines I can now look forward to attending Go Blog Social this weekend. My dear friend, Kelsey, is coming in town for it and staying with us, and I am so looking forward to some good old-fashioned girl time.
In case you aren't following me on Instagram or Facebook, here is the link to the news interview I did on Monday. How that ended up happening is a blog post in and of itself!
I can't end this little chapter without thanking some people. Michael, my mentor, was beyond wonderful. From talking through ideas, to little styling suggestions, to reassurance and support, I can't thank you enough for your kindness and guidance. You were a dream to work with! My husband was a huge help and didn't bat an eye when there was no dinner on the table and the house was a dirty disaster. And the rest of our family helped with anything and everything: from letting me borrow items to taking my kids for a few hours. It really was a team effort, and I was so blessed to have this team.
I look forward to sharing tutorials on the stenciled wall and the other projects from the last round in a few weeks.
