Robust backstepping vector control for the doubly fed induction motorPublication Year: 2007, Page(s):861 - 868
Cited by: Papers (6)
A robust vector control intended for a doubly fed induction motor (DFIM) mode is considered. The state-all-flux induction machine model with a flux orientation constraint is replaced by a simpler control model. The double-flux orientation leads to orthogonality between the stator and rotor fluxes, resulting in a linear and decoupled machine control and an optimal developed torque. The inner flux c...

Frequency domain interpretations of the invariance condition of sliding mode control theoryPublication Year: 2007, Page(s):869 - 874
Cited by: Papers (1)
The sliding-surface design problem for unmatched uncertain systems is considered. In the literature, it has been shown that if a system with unmatched uncertainties satisfies an invariance condition, then there exists a linear switching surface such that the sliding-mode dynamics restricted to the switching surface are not only stable but completely invariant to unmatched uncertainties.

A dual-loop scheme for fault-tolerance and early fault detectionPublication Year: 2007, Page(s):925 - 932
Cited by: Papers (1)
An effective control system is typically expected to possess the capability of maintaining specified system performance despite changes in system parameters (faults). In some design strategies, this implies that the 'faults' are automatically 'tolerated' without being explicitly detected. On the other hand, early fault detection is a basic requirement of a fault diagnosis system, which is necessar... View full abstract»

Cited by: Papers (1)
A new model reduction method, based on frequency fitting, is proposed for single-input discrete-time singular (non-causal) systems. The reduced-order models are obtained by minimising the least square frequency response error between the original system and the reduced-order model. Finally, the method is illustrated by a numerical example and is compared with other related techniques. View full abstract»

Oil and Gas Accidents
Were you looking for Jones Act lawsuits?
Oil and Gas workers are subject to some of the most hazardous industrial conditions in the US. Serious injuries and fatalities occur too often from an oil accident or gas accident. Oil and gas attorneys ensure that gas and oil companies are held accountable for oil drilling accidents and oil field accidents.
When an oil and gas worker is injured, the severity and duration of injuries are far worse than in other industry sectors, and recovery times often take twice as long. Oil and gas accidents typically occur for the following reasons:
Oil and Gas Accidents
It is important to seek advice from oil and gas attorneys because determining liability can often be difficult, and Worker's Compensation may not cover all the expenses associated with long term serious injuries. An oil and gas lawyer can review your employment documents thoroughly to determine any indemnification clauses that may waive the liability of the employer, contractor or other third party.
In 2006, almost a half million people in the US were working in jobs related to the oil and gas industry and the gas extraction industry employed about 400,000 workers on both offshore and land drilling and workover rigs, comprising the largest part of the US mining industry. The oil and gas industry is growing but at the same time increases in oil and gas activity correlate with an increase in the rate of fatal occupational injuries, particularly when inexperienced workers are not sufficiently trained in safety and precautionary measures. The most common types of injuries are burns, brain injury, spinal injury and fractures.
Oil and Gas Industry Workers
From 2000 – 2009, pipeline accidents accounted for 2,554 significant incidents, 161 fatalities, and 576 injuries in the US.
Oil and Gas Accident Statistics Overview
There are nearly 500,000 miles of oil and gas transmission pipelines that crisscross the US. These lines often carry hazardous materials with the potential to cause public injury and environmental damage in rural and urban areas. According to an investigation in the Austin American- Statesman, from 1984 – 2000 pipeline related fatalities occurred in more than 40 states.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, about 600 oil field and rig workers died on the job between 2002 and 2007. During that period, the number of deaths per year rose by around 70 percent, from 72 victims in 2002 to 125 in 2006 and a preliminary count of 120 in 2007.
During 2003-2007, the fatality rate among oil and gas extraction workers was nearly eight times that for all U.S. workers.
Drilling oil and gas wells industries had a rate of 4 cases of nonfatal injuries and illnesses per 100 equivalent full-time workers. The rate for injuries and illnesses by size of business was:
The highest numbers of oil and gas extraction occupational fatalities occurred in Texas (38 percent), Louisiana (12 percent), Oklahoma (11 percent), Wyoming (8 percent), and New Mexico (5 percent). Among the states where most of the fatalities occurred, New Mexico (45.2 per 100,000) and Wyoming (58.5 per 100,000) had the highest average annual fatality rates, compared with Oklahoma (33.3 per 100,000), Louisiana (29.2 per 100,000), and Texas (25.3 per 100,000).
Currently, there is a major boom in the natural gas sector in the US, resulting in a huge need for workers in Rocky Mountain states like Wyoming, and the new Mackenzie gas project is expected to employ thousands of workers. But with more employment, higher fatality rates are likely to occur. The oil and gas industry is rife with inexperienced workers who work longer working hours (more overtime), and many rigs include older equipment with fewer safeguards.
According to a recent report, "Assault on America: A Decade of Petroleum Company Disaster, Pollution, and Profit", from 2000 to 2010, the oil and gas industry accounted for hundreds of deaths, explosions, fires, seeps, and spills. This report, which includes a full List of Oil Disasters from January 2000 – June 2010, demonstrates that the BP incident is not isolated but an industry pattern that places profit ahead of communities, local economies, and the environment.
In this video, Tim Warman, National Wildlife Foundation, discusses how the oil and gas industry must be held more accountable by removing the liability cap. Oil companies make trillions of dollars in revenue—more than enough to cover oil and gas accident lawsuits.
Gas explosions can also occur in the home; they can be caused a defective product or combination of defective products; or minimal or no public or consumer information on the safe handling and use of propane or natural gas. Approximately 26 million people use propane: it is also very dangerous. More than 100 million people use natural gas. You are four times more likely to be involved in a fire or explosion using Propane (LP Gas) vs Natural Gas (Methane). You are 13 times more likely to be severely injured or burned with Propane vs. Natural Gas. You are more than 100 times more likely to be killed or severely injured if there is a product failure using Propane vs Natural Gas.
Propane Explosions and Propane Risk
April 2: Seven workers were killed in a fire at Tesoro Corp's Washington oil refinery.. Federal investigators say the victims were likely engulfed in"a firewall" that ignited within seconds.
Oil and Gas Accidents in April 2010
April 19: A worker was killed at Motiva's oil refinery in Port Arthur, Texas in a construction crane accident. Motiva now has two fatalities since 2007 at this refinery while it has been attempting to expand production.
April 20: Possibly the worst environmental disaster in U.S. history, BP's Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill stemmed from an explosion that killed 11 rig workers and injured 17.
On Jan 11, 2011, the White House oil spill commission's final report on the oil disaster contained recommendations including raising the liability cap for drillers and creating an independent safety agency.
The panel made the following recommendations:
Texas Oil and Gas production is booming and is expected to reach an all-time high by 2016, mainly due to Texas oil and gas drilling. Greater production means a greater increase in jobs, but rapid development—particularly in South Texas oil and gas-- means that more workers are subject to injury. Texas oil and gas lawyers are increasingly seeing more accident and injury claims as oil and gas companies increase their rigs, often with unskilled well drilling and well maintenance workers.
Texas Oil and Gas Accidents
Combined with the physical demands of the job and long shifts (roughnecks often work 72 hour shifts), workplace accidents are bound to occur. Furthermore, some companies are in such a hurry to increase production that they may fail to disregard OSHA safety standards or fail to properly maintain equipment. Common causes of oil and gas accidents include inadequate safety training and disregard for safety measures, defective equipment and improperly maintained equipment.
While injuries are covered by Workers Compensation, the Texas law of oil and gas ensures that companies and contractors are held responsible should negligence occur. OSHA safety standards protect drilling rig workers both onshore and offshore, but companies often disregard rules and regulations.
Federal statistics count 1,300 drilling rig injuries in the Gulf of Mexico from 2006-2010, and 41 worker fatalities. (Eleven deaths were the result of the BP Deepwater Horizon explosion and 15 deaths at the Texas refinery explosion in Texas City.) According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2008 Texas had more fatalities in the oil and gas extraction industry (41) than any other state.
The Eagle Ford Shale, a gas basin extending through 30 counties-- including Hood, Johnson, Parker, Tarrant, and Wise Counties-- is one of the largest oil and gas reserves ever found in Texas. The formation produces from various depths between 4,000 and 12,000 feet and is benefiting from "high liquids yields across much of the play."
Eagle Ford Shale
The state of Texas reported that natural gas production at the Eagle Ford shale has increased ten-fold from 2009 to 2010. Along with oil and gas prices, controversial Eagle Ford Shale drilling methods, i.e., Hydro Fracking and horizontal drilling, have resulted in a rapid expansion of oil and gas companies (more than 24 oil and gas companies are currently in the Eagle Ford Shale Patch). According to Mark Sundland, drilling manager for Anadarko Petroleum, horizontal/directional drilling and hydraulic fracturing "has put Eagle Ford in a class by itself".
Hydro-fracking also poses public health concerns. Environmental groups are concerned that the fracking water may pollute drinking water. Fracking requires millions of gallons of chemically treated water that is mixed with sand, to blast through the shale, which then releases gas or oil. Even one well can require millions of gallons of water. The EPA has investigated fracking' effects on drinking water in other parts of the US and is now looking at the Eagle Ford Shale.
With this oil and gas boom comes an increase in workers, some of whom are unskilled and untrained in safety procedures. (Recently OSHA opened an investigation following a Sept 2011 accident where two people were hospitalized after an oil rig explosion on the Eagle Ford Shale.) Most oil and gas injuries are avoidable yet safety is often secondary to oil and gas profits.
In 2008, 31-year-old Larry Mullins Jr., an employee at Nabors Drilling USA, was working on a drill site location and was crushed by oilfield equipment being positioned by a tandem truck in a rig move in Wise County, Texas. In April 2010, the Mullins family settled an oilfield accident lawsuit for $9.5 million dollars.
Oil and Gas Lawsuits
In 2007 the Usumacinta jack-up oil rig was positioned over the Kab-101 platform. Strong winds forced the jack-up off location, causing it to collide with the Kab-101 platform and rupture the platform's production tree. Twenty-two workers lost their lives as a result of the emergency evacuation in storm-force conditions. The leaking hydrocarbons ignited twice, causing major fire damage to both the Usumacinta and the Kab-10.
In 1998 an employee of Marine Drilling Company was working on an offshore jackup rig when a piece of equipment severed his hand. A lawsuit was filed against Mar- Dril, Inc, Storm Drilling Company Freeport- McMoran and Directional Wireline Services, and an out of court settlement for the offshore drilling rig accident was reached.
Oil and gas accidents generally occur at work sites where the employer and/or employee is negligent, therefore injuries and death are covered by workers' compensation. But if a third party is involved (i.e., someone or some other entity, such as a defective product, not associated with your employer) a claim will likely exist and you should get advice from a gas and oil attorney who is experienced with the following:

My father was killed on a nabors drilling rig in April of 2009 in North Dakota. We later discovered that nabors had modified that specific rig to fit their needs at the time.it clearly violated safety laws and regulations. I heard not long after the accident occurred they had modified it again and theye put the rig back out and had it operating. Also, they didn't have the pin in that's is suppose to be holding the Derrick in place, and they were only using a 3/4 inch chain to hold the Derrick in place, and they had the thing sitting there not properly secure what so ever for over 24 hours... sad that it wasn't even my father's truck he was only helping another employeemail chain down and was crushed by the Derrick that swung down because there was no pin holding the one side and the tiny chain that was used to hold the other end of the 9,000 lbs Derrick snapped.
It is a shame to see how many violations that are discovered, and the amount of safety regulations being violated every day. The unreversable damage and the tragic number of lives lost is heartbreaking. There should be more being done to in force these safety laws so that hopefully one day the number of rig worker fatalities may begin to decrease.
Thank you to all the oil field workers that risk their lives daily and RIP to all the men who've lost their lives doing this job! I know the unbearable pain when an officer walks up to inform you that you have lost a loved one. And it gets more overbearing when you discover it was due to lack of safety regulations being met. So my thoughts and prayers are with the family's of those killed.

Everything you need to know! The 2017 Version!
Plenty of questions coming up on the wall so we thought we'd recap all the main things to know for the day!
Is the Circle Line open???
Not this year.. Aldgate to Edgeware Road is closed which is pretty much our entire route. But this happens many years and so we will walk, see below for the route!
One of the rules since it started was that we don't use the District Line.... it is open, but partially suspended. However if you must cheat, then see the rules below.
Starting time? Starting locations? Date?
10am Saturday February 4th 2017.
If you're starting at the traditional time of 10am then head to the Pride of Paddington (map) or their website here) The Pride of Paddington is open earlier so get in and have some breakfast there! You can also go to the Bayswater Arms too - find the route map here for info!
Also from 11am Notting Hill Gate will have a few of you starting there. The Old Swan will be open or you can hang around the Bird Statue. (the Old Swan website here) Mostly people get here around 10:30-11am!
(We recommend kicking off at the traditional starting point at Paddington at 10am, no it's not too early princess...)
What's the route?
Here it is! (link fixed)
How much? Are there tickets? Is this free?
It's all 100% free to do the pub crawl! Join in whenever along the route. It's free. The only cost is your drinks and the after parties!
What can I expect from the day??
It's a street/pub party like you have never ever experienced before. Good natured fun, Kiwis having a laugh, meeting new friends, finding old friends, being good to the locals and not breaking any laws.
Any rules? Instructions from the police?
Don't be dicks. Don't carry glass about and listen to everything the cops say on the day. A full run down of what the police have told us can be found here.
If you cheat and take the District Line travellers will need to remember the ancient rules of all pub crawls beforehand, which is NO SITTING, DO NOT hold onto anything but one another and of course courtesy to ALL tube travellers not on the crawl.
Advice from the NZ High Commission (when we met them in 2012) can be found here.
Can we drink on the streets??
The Police will enforce the street drinking ban but they will be using their common sense, (and expect us to as well) just like every other year. Essentially, be sensible and follow instructions from the Police. If you have done the pub crawl in other years you are all aware that the police are very easy going and get into the spirit of the event - but that is because we are also good natured enough to not be dicks.
We encourage when you see members of the public trying to get through the crowds to give them 100% your support and let them through. Give them absolutely no reason to complain, and surprise them with our typical Kiwi charm and politeness!
4PM at BROAD SANCTUARY you'll have Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament behind you. It's a nice space, the same as last year. The police will point you in the right direction. We have published a map at the bottom of this post for you! It will be very crowded here so listen to any instructions from the police and help any Kiwis out if they seem a little overwhelmed at this point.
If you are pissed please try not to do the haka and leave it for the experts.
We're trying to avoid having overexcited NZ TV crews beam us back home as looking disrespectful. Considering we have had no arrests in years and only 1 complaint in 2014, our pub crawl is nothing compared to something like to what's left of the Wellington 7's and a night out in any big Kiwi city.
Ok, what about the after parties???? Do I need tickets for anything??
ALL INFO HERE. There will be after parties at The Slug in Fulham, Belushis in Shepherds Bush and Hammersmith and Temple Walkabout! The Slug have tickets for sale for £3 so check the link to grab yours now!
NEW Map of where we will all meet for the Haka

Tottenham are close to sealing a deal for Ajax captain Jan Vertonghen, with an announcement possibly set for Friday.
|Spurs are 25/1 to win the Premier League with bet365
Spurs' move for the Belgian has been the most drawn-out transfer of the summer so far, but it appears that the second signing of Andre Villas-Boas' reign is now edging to completion.
The switch was thought to have hit a snag over a payment due to the centre-back thanks to a clause in his contract, but a representative of the 25-year-old's agent has revealed the transfer is imminent.
"We have scheduled a meeting on Friday morning, where we will try and reach an agreement with Ajax," a spokesperson for Nakhli Mondial said to De Telegraaf.
"There are some developments and we hope to reach an agreement."
Spurs have already had a busy pre-season, appointing Villas-Boas as their new manager before sealing a deal for Gylfi Sigurdsson at the beginning of the week.
And things may continue in a similar fashion, with the former Chelsea boss reportedly given a £70 million transfer budget as the north London club look to break back into the Champions League.

Darrell MD; Karpf, Michael MDAcademic Medicine: February 2011 - Volume 86 - Issue 2 - p 158-160 doi: 10.1097/ACM.0b013e3182045f13 Commentary Abstract Author Information Article Outline Although Congress recently passed health insurance reform legislation, the real catalyst for change in the health care delivery system, the author's argue, will be changes to the reimbursement model. To rein in increasing costs, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid aims to move Medicare from the current fee-for-service model to a reimbursement approach that shifts the risk to providers and encourages greater accountability both for the cost and the quality of care. This level of increased accountability can only be achieved by clinical integration among health care providers. Central to this reorganized delivery model are primary care providers who coordinate and organize the care of their patients, using best practices and evidence-based medicine while respecting the patient's values, wishes, and dictates. Thus, the authors ask whether primary care physicians will be available in sufficient numbers and if they will be adequately and appropriately trained to take on this role. Most workforce researchers report inadequate numbers of primary care doctors today, a shortage that will only be exacerbated in the future. Even more ominously, the authors argue that primary care physicians being trained today will not have the requisite skills to fulfill their contemplated responsibilities because of a variety of factors that encourage fragmentation of care. If this training issue is not debated vigorously to determine new and appropriate training approaches, the future workforce may eventually have the appropriate number of physicians but inadequately trained individuals, a situation that would doom any effort at system reform.

Abstract Controlling the Cost of Health Care Providing Comprehensive Care Educating the Primary Care Physicians of Tomorrow Taking the Lead Funding/Support: Other disclosures: Ethical approval: Although Congress recently passed health insurance reform legislation, the real catalyst for change in the health care delivery system, in our opinion, will be changes to the reimbursement model. Health care economists almost universally agree that health care reimbursement must move from a fee-for-service model to a system that encourages accountability for both cost and quality of care. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) seems intent to systematically move Medicare from the current fee-for-service model to a reimbursement approach that increasingly shifts the risk to providers and encourages greater accountability both for the cost and the quality of care. This level of increased accountability can only be achieved by clinical integration among and between health care providers. Back to Top | Article Outline Controlling the Cost of Health Care No one can deny that health care costs in this country are out of control, to the point of openly threatening the stability of our economy. Health care expenditures will approach 20% of our gross domestic profit by 2015. Neither can they argue against ultimately expanding coverage to all individuals living in the United States. Most of the rancor and discord generated by recent health care reform legislation centers on (1) the number of additional individuals receiving coverage under the new laws, (2) the mechanism for this expansion of coverage, (3) the costs associated with expanding coverage, and (4) the method for paying for this expansion. The divide over these issues is deep and may not be broached in the near future. However, there is broad consensus that "bending the cost curve" of health care is an imperative that must be addressed immediately. To do so will require substantial change in the current health care delivery system that ensures greater efficiency, quality, and rational use of our resources. The foundation of any rational health care delivery system is primary care generalists with the capability and responsibility for ensuring high-quality, efficient care, especially to patients with complex chronic conditions. Unfortunately, our current educational system often is not designed or very adept in preparing primary care generalists for their new responsibilities in health care systems of the future. Change in the reimbursement model can and is, in fact, occurring without legislation. CMS has been experimenting with a graduated series of payment reforms that systematically shift risk to providers to force more accountability. Pay for performance and refusal to pay for "unnecessary readmissions" or "never events" are the opening gambits. Experimenting with gain-sharing payment models is a more direct attempt to encourage providers to work together. CMS's Acute Care Episode Demonstration Project, which bundles physicians and facility fees for a variety of cardiac and orthopedic procedures, clearly motivates physicians and hospitals to work together to generate efficiency and savings. Moving along the spectrum, episodic bundling, which includes coverage for care from the prehospital setting to the acute care hospital stay to an extended period of posthospital care (usually a period of 30-90 days), develops even stronger economic incentives for multiple providers to improve integration, efficiency, and quality. In the Geisinger Health System in Pennsylvania, all of a patient's medical professionals work together to ensure that no mistakes are made. This model consistently results in decreases in hospitalization and rehospitalization stays for those patients. Provencare, Geisinger's coverage for acute interventions, such as coronary bypass surgery, is a private-sector example of the power of episodic bundling that reduces costs and improves the quality of patient outcomes. CMS has substantial experience with the Physician Group Practice Administration Project, which encourages accountable care organizations to take much broader responsibility for patients' care through the entire continuum. Clearly, gain sharing between CMS and physician groups creates a very powerful incentive to reduce unnecessary utilization. Although it may take substantial time to accumulate irrefutable evidence that these various demonstration projects truly "bend the cost curve," CMS's intent to shift risk to providers cannot be questioned. In fact, even the dreaded "C" word, capitation, has reemerged. The Massachusetts experiment providing universal health care coverage for the entire state has shown that increasing access without controlling utilization and improving efficiency naturally results in higher costs. Massachusetts is struggling with overwhelming increases in state health care expenditures and state budget deficits after expanding coverage with reform efforts. A blue ribbon panel charged with controlling expenditures has concluded that the only way costs will be controlled is through a full capitation reimbursement system. Attempts to change payment modalities with the intent to reorganize health care delivery to emphasize efficiency and quality have several common elements: (1) all payments are value based even if the major goal is cost containment, (2) medical guidelines, standards, and quality measures will play important roles in management, (3) the systems require real-time electronic medical records, and (4) most systems use teams to provide care. Back to Top | Article Outline Providing Comprehensive Care The cornerstone of clinically integrated health care systems is the committed primary care generalist physician, who organizes patient-care services across all boundaries. Primary care advocates have endorsed the concept of the "medical home" model to achieve this end. The medical home consists of an interdisciplinary team of physicians and allied health professionals who partner with patients and their families, taking responsibility for ongoing patient care, using a team approach, technology, and evidence-based protocols to coordinate and provide care. Primary care physicians serve as advocates for patients across the care continuum, ensuring that the patient's values, wishes, and directives are always honored. All patient information cycles through the primary care physician in real time to facilitate, coordinate, and integrate care. The new model requires that primary care doctors be compensated for organizing and overseeing care rather than just for delivering services in 15-minute segments in the office. For these physicians to have maximum impact, they must be engaged in the comprehensive care of their patients not only in the ambulatory setting but in all aspects of care, including specialized units, such as the critical care unit and the emergency department. Though the direct care responsibility may be delegated to a specialist during a given episode of care, the primary care generalist must remain intimately involved in his or her patients' care. The current efforts to master the perfect virtual handoff between the various providers during any episode of care is likely to fall short in meeting the needs and expectations of these often very ill, frightened, and confused patients and their families. The need for these comprehensive primary care physicians ("comprehensivists") is most striking in the care of the rapidly growing patient population with complex chronic conditions who require the reassurance and wisdom that only the long-term relationship with their personal primary care physician can provide. These comprehensivists will need to be experts in (1) anticipating, preventing, and managing the progression and/or complications of common complex conditions, (2) the management of complex pharmacology, (3) end-of-life issues and medical ethics, (4) the coordination of care, and (5) leading health care teams. Their practice environments will need to contain the elements and systems to support their comprehensive care, such as advanced information and e-health systems. Comprehensivists will also need to be able to direct and coordinate a health care team that includes expertise in patient education, mental health and behavioral modification, physical and occupational therapy, pharmacy, home health, etc. Their responsibility is not to ration care but to make care rational, consistent with best practices and evidence-based medicine, while incorporating the patient's values. Given the anticipated critical role of the comprehensive care doctor in our future health care system, we must ask several questions. Are there enough of them today, and will there be enough of them in the future? Are we training them appropriately to accomplish their critical roles? Researchers in health care manpower have documented that interest in generalist careers, including general internal medicine and family practice, has been in steady decline for a number of years. Many reasons are put forth to explain this lack of interest, from excessive paperwork and bureaucracy to issues of compensation to a sense that generalist careers lack respect and prestige. Excessive medical school debt adds another disincentive to choose lower-income primary care disciplines and must be addressed. Reorganizing the system to minimize administrative, bureaucratic hassles and to maximize time for cognitive functions and time with patients is critical. Clearly, a compensation model is required that rewards generalist doctors to coordinate and integrate care, actions that are expected of them now and that will be demanded in the future by their patients. Generalists must also be empowered by the medical profession to help patients make judgments that may, in fact, defer, postpone, or refuse care suggested by advanced specialists. Back to Top | Article Outline Educating the Primary Care Physicians of Tomorrow Are we training the types of physicians that the profession needs? Our concern is that we are not. Our system of care in the current training model reinforces fragmentation of accountability and responsibility. The organizational response to the 80-hour resident workweek has created a "shift-work" mentality, leading to a failure of the residents to develop a sense of ownership of their patients. This shift-work approach generates many handoffs that represent real opportunities for failure and eliminates the valuable educational experience that continuity of care provides. Without question, we cannot go back to the training system that demanded >100-hour workweeks, but we must create a more innovative approach to training that will promote a greater bond between trainees and their patients. Our clinical mentors and role models may also be sending the wrong message to prospective generalists. We have generalist doctors or office-based providers, who hand off their patients to hospitalists for inpatient care. The hospitalists, some of whom work nights, staff inpatient care in shifts, further fractionating care. Often when patients are admitted to the hospital, their primary care doctor is not involved in their care. Patients are handed off between hospitalists working day and night shifts, and occasionally intensivists, all of whom are responsible physicians but do not have a long-term relationship with the patient that commits a sense of responsibility and accountability to the care. We must return to the model in which generalists are involved in the patient's care across the continuum, including the ambulatory office (their medical home), the emergency department, the hospital, the critical care unit, indeed anywhere the patient presents for his or her health care. The generalist who knows his or her patients best acts as a senior consultant (reducing unnecessary, redundant testing), is a valuable resource to consultants who can improve their efficiency, and reduces excessive utilization that is inherent in the current fractionated model. The educational issues go deeper than graduate medical education and the 80-hour workweek. Undergraduate medical education is also fragmented, interventional, and faculty centered. Even if generalist workforce issues could be alleviated, the educational enterprise is unlikely to produce generalist physicians suited to practice efficient health care. Ironically, much as "fee for service" dictates substantial structure in health care delivery, traditional, department-based educational funding also contributes to fragmented, faculty-centered education. A pay-for-educational-performance and outcomes model, with organizational bundling of educational costs, may need to be piloted in a similar way to the piloting of new care delivery models. Several elements are essential if we are to train excellent generalist physicians for the health care system of the 21st century. Education must be more efficient, integrated, and longitudinal. Time must be created for students and housestaff to learn essential elements of patient safety and quality, teamwork in the health care environment, health maintenance, and continuity of care, without sacrificing fundamental knowledge. Education must become learner centered with shared responsibility and decision making as a primary model for patient-centered care. With the emerging technology of high-density, high-speed, mobile content on-demand, information delivery must revolutionize clinical pedagogy to achieve an anytime, anywhere, just-in-time delivery of medical and patient information. Mobile libraries and electronic medical records can accompany the resident and student to the bedside. Education must focus on how to navigate and manage these mobile resources. This mode of delivery should enrich and empower a renewal of the apprentice approach to the clinical care aspects of primary care and specialty physician training. Back to Top | Article Outline Taking the Lead In conclusion, our health care education and delivery systems must and will change. We must conceive of an appropriate response to these changes that addresses the shortfalls of the health care system and begins to develop role models, mentors, and training approaches that, in fact, train the kind of physician that we need for the future. If we do not take action now, even if we are able to correct the workforce availability issues that we are sure to face, the workforce we do have will not be prepared to deliver high-quality and efficient care. Academic medical centers have been crucial in providing an adequate workforce to our health care system and should be the center for developing innovative models for health care delivery, integration, and educating future health care providers. The time is now, and academic medical centers must take the lead. Back to Top | Article Outline Funding/Support: None. Back to Top | Article Outline Other disclosures: None.

All my morning aches and pains went away when I discovered hammock camping!
Hi everyone,
So many great responses from so many VERY experienced hangers.
Of course they are all spot on when it comes to the thought process behind which quilt to choose. Personally, I am like Canibal. I use a fractional length under quilt all year around. About the only time I am in a full length under quilt is when I am testing new designs or doing a demo. Does that mean I do not like them?....nope, I just like really like the short quilts too. I am also typically more of a hiker than a camper, so that probably plays into my decision somewhat.
Another thing to note, that I feel is a positive point for the full length underquilt, is that it almost like having two quilts in one....almost. If the temperatures drop past the quilt's rating, the full length underquilt has a trick up its sleeve. Shift as much of the down out of the leg area and into the torso area as you can. This exaggerated over stuffing of the torso area will boost the temperature rating somewhat. Not as much as if you had the loft to go with all of that extra down, but it WILL be warmer. Obviously you will still have to deal with your lower legs, but in that situaton, you could either go into the fetal position so you legs are in the torso section and therefore insulated, or bring your backpack into the hammock with you (if you have a framless style...) and put your legs on it. I have even filled two lightweight trash can liners with leaves, pushed out most of the air, and used them as make shift pads for my legs. Worked great!
Anyway, as you can see by the answers, the full length quilt does seem to be the popular choice by many people. Even though it is bigger and bulkier, it is not so by much. Another thing to consider, if you DID opt for either one of the quilts and did not like the coverage offered, simply return it in new condition and we will send the other style out to you to see if it is more to you liking. You should be focusing on other aspects of your outdoor adventure, not worrying about if you are gong to stay warm!

Good to see you on here Adam.
You can't pass up an offer like this, SC Dave. Adam and I discussed a similar issue of what length of TQ last year. He offered to do the same return for next size to me. I didn't need to take him up on the offer as the regular length was a great fit, but you can't beat this kind of customer service.
I am saving my pennies for a full length incubator probably get the 20* as it doesn't get that cold here in Cyprus/UK. But who knows where the Army will send me next.
Thanks SC_Dave for asking this question.
Thanks all and especially you Slo for the answers.
I was thinking about a 20* Incubator myself but after yours and others explanations I believe when I have the funds, I'll look at the 0* instead paired with the 20* TQ I have from HG already.
Now to decide if I want overfill or not.

When I have the dough Im planning on buying the 3/4 just because 1) my legs dont get that cold and there are other ways of warming them up and 2) I believe the 3/4s are more versatile! If I get a 20* full, its gonna suck in the cool(er) months but with the 3/4 I can still use it when I need too without frying

To me the 20* 3/4 is probably the best "first quilt"
Looking back, I'm glad I started with a 20* 3/4 length first with the intension of someday also owning a 0* full length. Those two quilts really cover just about all the bases with the option of stacking them in really severe temps. In the mean time before you get a 0*, you can always supplement your 20* with a pad when needed and that will give you a chance to see how much you're really into full on winter camping before you commit on the 0*.
However, it really comes down to HYOH. Since there's only 5oz diff between the full length and partial. I've been contemplating a 3/4 20* for summer camping but I JUST LOVE the fulllength UQ. Once it's on I have full range of movement without worrying about staying on a pad or keeping anything in place. I may just go with a full length summer quilt, chances are it will take me lower than the 40* rating on it anyways.
I would also concur on the winter camping, some people like it in theory but find it's not their particular brand of Vodka. However, I took the approach of getting the gear for it, then trying it out to make sure I set myself up to get an honest taste. But it really isn't for everyone and I'd already had coldweather ground dwelling under my belt so I had experience and a frame of reference outside of the hanging aspect, just being out in the cold for a few days at a time. Winter camping is a different animal.

Holcim Malaysia Sdn Bhd has launched the first in a series of technologically-advanced and eco-friendly cement products for the country's building industry.
The new portfolio of products not only offers total solutions to customers, but is also expected to contribute significantly to Holcim's corporate purpose of providing solutions in building foundation for a sustainable future.
The product launch is consistent with the company's aggressive plan to transform Holcim Malaysia into a stronger brand and beef up its image as a solutions provider.
Holcim a 1.2Mt cement plant in Pasir Gudang, Johor.
Its new product launch on Wednesday in Johor Baru saw the introduction of three new application-based products namely "Holcim Top Standard", "Holcim Top Standard" and "Holcim Quick Cast".
Holcim Top Standard is a multi-purpose cement of unrivalled quality suitable for most applications, while Holcim Ready Flow is a high performance cement specially formulated to provide ultimate durability.
Holcim Quick Cast is a high early-strength cement for faster construction.

Dog Names, How to Choose a Good Dog Name?
When you search online, there are a lot of dog names you can usually choose from. However, picking a unique and suitable name for your fur baby can be a bit challenging. For any fur parents, they want to ensure that they can pick a name that is suitable for their pets. The name is also something that fits the characteristics of a pet. Since it is something that your pet will respond to the rest of its life, it is best to pick something that matters to you. It should also be something that is fun to listen to.
If you have a puppy and you start to think of popular dog names found all over the internet, it is best for you to consider about some of the things that will help you come up with the right name. The following are some of the important things to consider when picking a unique dog name:
Pick Something that Matches His or Her Characteristic
When picking out the name of your fur baby, you need to observe its characteristics first. Just only because a particular breed is known its aggressiveness does not mean that you will also pick a name that is synonymous to its characteristic. For you to get the best name that fits perfectly on your pet, give both of you some time to get along together until you have discovered out the most interesting characteristic that it has. Say, if he tends to play with things at first, steal it from you, and then hide it in his bed. Why not call him "Bandit"?
Choose a Name Depending on the Size and Gender of Your Dog
Even though there are a lot of people who love naming their dogs exactly the opposite of their characteristics, it should not always be the case. This idea may sound fun, but for those who want the traditional way of naming their dogs may choose a name that depend on its size and its gender.
Stick with a One-Syllable Name
Make it easy for your pup to remember its name by sticking to a one-syllable name. Two-syllable names are also good. However, it may find it difficult to hear its name. Keep in mind that you should not pick a name that may only leave your dog confused with another command. For example, you choose "Pete". Your dog may confuse it with the command "sit" or "eat".
Choose a Name of Your Favorite Artist, Food, Item, or even Color
Isn't it interesting for you to pick a name that reminds you of something you like or love? Why not name it to your pet? Just make sure that you still consider the d things mentioned like the gender and the length of name.
After Choosing from a List of Dog Names
Once you have chosen a name for your fur baby, see to it that you will use it at all times. Whenever you train, play, or just rub its belly, always use the name you choose when you talk to it. This will make it easier for your fur baby to recognize its name.

Great beers and overall vibe! These guys absolutely nail rustic with a very funky interior design. It is in an old red barn with a tasting bar and production area that you can see through glass. These guys are very new but are already making some of the best beer in the province IMO. Try the Saison that they referment in the bottle and a very fresh and hoppy beer that is called the Barnraiser. Will be back as often as possible, but hopefully they make life a bit easier and get into the LCBO stores a bit closer to the city.

2017-03-04. Huge barn of a place that has ping pong in the back, and a view of the brewing equipment. The long bar obviously towards the winery weekend crowds sampling their way down Niagara Stone Rd. There is a small seating area and what seemed to be a kitchen that was closed while we visited. Large selection of their own beers on tap or in bottles, it's definitely a good way to try their stuff at $2 / sample before committing to relatively pricey bottles. Staff was friendly, we didn't really test their beer knowledge. Menu gives good descriptions of all the beers. Overall it's a nice stop and well worth including in a beer/wine tour of the area.

Great big red barn in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Nice farmhouse feel inside. Big wooden bar where you can get samples, pints and growlers to go. Wish they had smaller format growlers or crowlers. They have a small area that serves food, but we haven't tried it yet. Definitely a place we go to every time we are in the area.

A fun old barn that is a landmark in the area. Very smart and friendly service. Prices are good and tasters available. A great little stop with some nice beer. No food except for certain evenings.

Nice little place, excellent staff and pretty good beer.

Nice tasting room of a good size. Oast has started as a plan to do business, and it is. Very friendly staff you get mostly outside of the TO area, and lots of tourists. The beers are served good and fresh. An upstairs that will be used for special events.
JoeMcPhee (536) Toronto, ON, Ontario | June 25, 2013
Cool little spot on the main drag into town. The place was jumping when I was in with loads of cyclists and tourists popping in. Not a whole lot of selection (only three) but their saison is always a winner. Pretty pricy bottles and merch I have to say, but the guys were very friendly and willing to answer questions. Definitely worth popping in if you're in the area.

Nice little brewery/beer-store/tasting-bar, apparently in an old barn in a rural area outside of Niagara-on-the-Lake. Surrounded, of course, by grape vines. Nice to see a brewery can flourish in wine county. Only 2 beers available when I went in, but I was able to sample both. Bottles are pricy, but the quality of the beer is good. Good service, and some good looking glasses for sale in the gift shop. I look forward to popping in again when I'm in the area.

TFI Admin Countrock has already gotten his hands on the Nexus 5 in the US and he is pretty thrilled about the experience, especially it's smooth user experience. Does anyone have any idea about the official release date? Some blogs are claiming November 12. Who all will be getting it.

PASADENA — UCLA coach Jim Mora put his hands on Jeff Ulbrich's face early in the second quarter, trying to get him to calm down after the first-year defensive coordinator angrily ripped off his headset and handed Mora his play sheet.
Unfortunately for Mora, he couldn't lay his hands on his struggling team and transfer either the same fire or the same calming effect to slow down Ducks quarterback Marcus Mariota.
Mariota ran for two touchdowns and passed for 210 yards and two more scores as No. 12 Oregon rebounded from its first defeat with a 42-30 victory over No. 18 UCLA on Saturday.
While their players looked on awkwardly, Mora managed to calm down Ulbrich, who took back his equipment and resumed his role on the Bruins sideline. The former 49ers linebacker and Mora dismissed the incident after the game.
"He is one of my closest friends, and we are both very passionate and very competitive," Mora said. "If you don't have that fire, then something is wrong in this business."
The rest of the afternoon was also a mess for UCLA, which has lost two straight.
Royce Freeman rushed for 121 yards and two touchdowns for the Ducks (5-1, 2-1 Pac-12), who built a 42-10 lead early in the fourth quarter with systematic superiority over UCLA, a preseason Top-10 team. Thomas Tyner and Pharaoh Brown caught TD passes as Oregon coasted home in its sixth straight win over the Bruins (4-2, 1-2).
A week after a 31-24 home loss to Arizona, Oregon showed no symptoms from the loss.
"It says a lot about the character of this team that they were able to flush (last week) and just keep chugging," Mariota said. "We came out this Monday, and you could feel the intensity pick up. … We believed in what we could do."
Paul Perkins rushed for 190 yards and Jordan Payton caught two fourth-quarter TD passes for UCLA. But the Bruins failed to contend with Oregon's speed and sophistication.


text: My mandolin that is! Is there some kitchen utensil or appliance that you just can't live without? Mine is my mandolin. It's a small cutting board utensil with a number of different blades that provides me with perfectly sliced fruits and vegetables. I can cut potatoes for french fries, juillienne carrots, make paper-thin onion slices, or cut tomatoes without the smooshing! The one I have a is a Pampered Chef model but I have my eye on a more souped up stainless steel model at Kitchen, etc. Another favorite of mine...my digital scale. For those of you on the Weight Watcher program or a similar program where you have to weigh your portions, it is tremendous! I started with a standard kitchen scale (spring based) then worked up to this one. It's digital, can do both ounces and kilograms, zeros out so you can put bowls, plates, etc. prior to weighing and not have to subtract for the plates. I discovered that I was cheating myself out of some foods and over serving others even when I was using the standard scale combined with measuring cups and spoons. Now I know that I was cheating myself out of cheerios by measuring them in a cup (apparently all those holes do add up!) but I was overserving on my Special K. May not seem like much to you but those points start to add up. Before I finish, here's a recipe I got from the WW site -- but I think it would work for the Atkins afficionados too -- just in time for those Mother's Day Breakfasts. Leave it taped to the fridge or stove so they have an idea of what you might like! I tried it and it was good. My daughter (6) loved it! Scrambled eggs and cheese pizza Prep Time | 15 min Cook Time | 20 min Level of Difficulty | Easy 1 Tbsp all-purpose flour 16 oz frozen pizza crust dough, thawed 1 1/2 cup fat-free egg substitute 1/2 cup fat-free milk 1/2 cup low-fat shredded cheddar cheese 2 oz ham, lean only, diced Preheat oven to 375ºF Sprinkle flour onto a clean, flat surface and roll out pizza dough into a 13-inch circle; lay dough on a baking sheet or stone. Build up the edges to make a crust and then prick the dough generously with the tines of a fork; bake until light brown, about 15 minutes While crust is baking, coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Beat egg substitute and milk together in a large bowl; pour into skillet and scramble Placed scrambled eggs on the pizza crust and sprinkle with cheese and ham; bake until the cheese melts, about 5 minutes. Slice into 8 pieces and serve.[/list=1] POINTS Serves | 8 POINTS per serving | 5 So how about it? What can't you live without in your kitchen? What makes your food prep easier? Is there a special gadget that's helped keep you on track with your new healthy lifestyle (besides the *$&@*%& scale )? Please share -- we'd love to hear from you! Have a great Mother's Day everyone.
