SOURCE El Camino Hospital
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Oct. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- El Camino Hospital today was named one of the nation's Top Performers on Key Quality Measures® for 2012 by The Joint Commission, the leading accreditor of health care organizations in America. The hospital is one of 1,099 hospitals nationally that are being recognized, representing the top one-third of all Joint Commission-accredited hospitals reporting accountability measure performance data for 2012.
"We take great pride in having earned a position on this prestigious list through the hard work and dedication of our staff, who focus tirelessly on delivering the right evidence-based interventions in the right way at the right time to care for our patients," said Tomi Ryba, president and chief executive offer of El Camino Hospital.
The Top Performer list is based on an aggregation of accountability measure data reported to The Joint Commission during the 2012 calendar year. The list of Top Performer organizations increased by 77 percent from last year and it represents 33 percent of all Joint Commission-accredited hospitals reporting accountability measure performance data for 2012. El Camino Hospital was specifically recognized for its achievement on the following sets: heart attack, heart failure, pneumonia and surgical care.
El Camino Hospital and each of the hospitals that were named as a Top Performer on Key Quality Measures must: 1) achieve cumulative performance of 95 percent or above across all reported accountability measures; 2) achieve performance of 95 percent or above on each and every reported accountability measure where there are at least 30 denominator cases; and 3) have at least one core measure set that has a composite rate of 95 percent or above, and (within that measure set) all applicable individual accountability measures have a performance rate of 95 percent or above. A 95 percent score means a hospital provided an evidence-based practice 95 times out of 100 opportunities to provide the practice. Each accountability measure represents an evidence-based practice – for example, giving aspirin at arrival for heart attack patients, giving antibiotics one hour before surgery, and providing a home management plan of care for children with asthma.
"El Camino Hospital and all the Top Performer hospitals have demonstrated an exceptional commitment to quality improvement and they should be proud of their achievement," says Mark R. Chassin, M.D., FACP, M.P.P., M.P.H., president and chief executive officer, The Joint Commission. "We have much to celebrate this year. Nearly half of our accredited hospitals have attained or nearly attained the Top Performer distinction. This truly shows that we are approaching a tipping point in hospital quality performance that will directly contribute to better health outcomes for patients."
In addition to being included in today's release of The Joint Commission's "Improving America's Hospitals" annual report, El Camino Hospital will be recognized on The Joint Commission's Quality Check website (www.qualitycheck.org). The Top Performer program will be featured in the December issues of The Joint Commission Perspectives and The Source.

Nothing unAmerican about USA's World Cup team
Posted on Wednesday, June 23, 2010 at 08:05 AM

Every four years the same articles appear in the Irish and British press about how Americans don't understand, don't 'get' soccer, err, "the beautiful game." They love to portray Americans, tediously, as looking for touchdowns or home-runs in soccer games.
The journalists who repeat these statements from Americans do so earnestly, not seeming to realize that it's an American way of saying soccer is a big yawn. Although people here can sometimes wax lyrical about the great defense in a 0-0 game that sort of scoring pace doesn't interest a lot of Americans.
However, this year those stories seem to be less common, possibly because it isn't just Americans who've been bored by this World Cup or possibly, just possibly, because they've realized that there are many Americans who do 'get' soccer.
Maybe that's why on Saturday the Irish Times ran with a different variation on the 'Americans & soccer' theme: conservative Americans don't like soccer because it's somehow "unAmerican" or even "Hispanic." As evidence Davin O'Dwyer cited Glenn Beck and G. Gordon Liddy, who uttered negative remarks about soccer, although only Liddy attached his argument to anything even vaguely "Hispanic."
I can't totally fault O'Dwyer, however, because I've come across similar views in the American press. In fact, last week NPR's web site published a piece that said much the same thing as O'Dwyer, basically claiming that race and ethnicity were contributing factors to Americans' failure to love the "beautiful game."
The race/ethnicity argument is laughable and it's a shame that someone outside America would repeat such nonsense. You only have to watch America's sports to realize how wrong that is: black stars dominate basketball and football and baseball features many, many players from the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Venezuela, Mexico, etc. Conservatives watch those sports, root for those players as much as liberals do. There's not much of a political angle in Americans sports.
Sure some Americans like soccer and some don't. I know plenty of Americans who don't like soccer. They find it boring or can't understand why anyone would watch or play a sport where the opposable thumb is an unnecessary appendage. I also know many Americans who love soccer. Political considerations have nothing to do with it: liberals and conservatives fit into both camps.
Among those who love it are many who've taken to watching the English Premier League and Champions League thanks to satellite television. Mostly these are men who are sports fanatics and who had a gap in their lives for live sports at 10am on Saturdays and Sundays or mid-afternoon on weekdays. European soccer was able to fill that gap.
These guys have a pretty good understanding of soccer. They're watching the World Cup pretty intensely and using the internet to source sports radio discussions or are using Facebook, Twitter, bulletin boards and chat rooms to get more information, analyses and opinions. The World Cup, like the Olympics, also attracts a lot of other American fans, people who'll watch this big festival of soccer, but who wouldn't consider themselves ardent fans of the game. Their interest will remain pretty high so long as the American team stays in the tournament.
All of which brings me to the most important issue of the day: the US team's must-win game against Algeria (10am on ESPN). If you watch you'll see the faces of the American players are the faces of America, their names are not solely Hispanic, but represent all of America and the players give every appearance of being extremely proud to wear USA on their jerseys when they play. UnAmerican? I don't think so.
What's more, Americans take can take great pride in the team because despite being far from the most talented side at the World Cup the USA team plays with real heart, never gives up and leaves it all on the field. What more could we ask for? Go USA!

The Americans just don't like the low scoring. While it is a great experience to see a no hit game in baseball, that too can become a drag. A few years back, they lowered the mound in Baseball so that there would be more hits leading to more runs, when was the last time anyone saw a soccer game that ended 5-4 or 4-3. Watching goals being scored can be very exciting but it's never going to happen. I don't have the answer. I'll leave that to the pundits.

USA team was different. I think the old adage "the yanks can't play football" holds no weight anymore. neverless very interesting World Cup. Really...Japan's team.. Whats that? England's team.. to many individual players not enough team and Germany showed them a show. They have no say about that one goal. And of course the French! I was in Paris this last weekend and of course I had to ask. What a shame! Of course the way they got in but the way they played was terrible. They have the class/character of a goat. And the man at the hotel desk agreed.

A tough loss, but these things happen. I don't think the American media really understood how limited many of America's players were. They seemed to think that FIFA rankings meant US team SHOULD get to semi-finals. Uggh.
Could really have used a striker with a decent first touch and who had half an idea how to score, but wasn't to be. They gave it their all, which was all we could hope for. They had nothing left for extra time, unfortunately.

Whatever about the debate here, hafta say right now - tough luck to the USA soccer team who just lost to Ghana after extra time. If only those shots at goal had gone in... if only! Agonisingly close for the USA team, even before end of normal time if those shots had gone in instead of wide, the USA team would have been thru' to the next round. Great world Cup performance: the USA lads can hold their heads high and the people of the USA can be proud of them. As a soccer mad fella, I can tell you should be proud! Welcome them home as heroes of soccer in the USA.

I don't know that I'd disagree with much that you write below. I have felt for years that the NY Times was trying to force soccer down our throats. They do that with women's sports too. It's that aspect - and the Times is only a small part of it - that has me hoping that soccer never becomes a big sport in America.
However, it doesn't stop me rooting for guys who clearly are proud to wear the USA jersey. My ideal scenario would be for America to win the World Cup, but for Americans to treat it like a big win at the Olympics - something to cheer, but not something that changes America's sporting culture.

You're not going to like me saying this, but in the US it does sometimes seem like soccer is the ethnic game of choice for for preppie kids of white middle class suburbanites, aka "soccer moms". Which is hilarious, since everywhere else it's treated like baseball is in America - i.e. a street-kid sport. But you get this kind of class inversion in other sports too - cricket is popular in India, elitist in Ireland. Rugby is working class in France, and maybe Limerick - but they are "Rugger-buggers" in much of the rest of the 26 counties. Especially south Dublin. And in fairness, while I know what you mean about the multiracial and ethnic aspect of sports in the US, the pointed thing about Hispanics is that they are still associated with _visible_ mass immigration, which does put the back up of a lot of (especially economically insecure) people there. If you add that to the preppie aspect and faintly finger-wagging liberal vibe from some quarters (one reason why the Metric system never took off there, I think), it doesn't help the cross-party loyalty.
Actually, there was a study done about voting and cultural patterns in the US, that showed that e.g. NASCAR and NFL was bigger with Republicans, whereas Basketball and Pro-Wrestling was bigger with Democrats. I think.

text: Home Culture Beyoncé's Incredible, Miraculous Pregnancy The hype around the superstar suggests that no one has ever had a child before. By: Francie Latour Posted: Oct. 18 2011 12:23 AM 0 Getty Images Does Beyoncé realize that women have been carrying and birthing babies for thousands of years? More to the point, do we? I get the fact that by now, all bets are off when it comes to celebrity motherhood -- what with Erykah Badu live-tweeting her home birth and "it" girls introducing their Havens and Sparrows to the world in People. We know all about how Gisele's bathtub birth didn't hurt, and very soon we will know what Kingston, Zuma and all of the Jolie-Pitts wore for Halloween. But I think I may have to draw the line at the continuous, wall-to-wall blitz that has become Beyoncé's pregnancy. It may be the perfect symbol of married black love -- which many a culture critic has said that we desperately need to see -- writ large. It may be the ultimate marketing machine, swathed in couture as befits hip-hop royalty. But the mania surrounding this biological event has gotten way out of hand. I'm happy for you, Bey, but the joy growing inside your womb is not the blueprint, and it is not biblical. It isn't the Visitation; nor is it the dawn of a new epoch in the human calendar. It's a baby. Beyoncé is all about doing things large and loud, and her August baby-bump reveal at the MTV Video Music Awards didn't disappoint. With the rub broadcast round the world, she instantly locked down Best Gestational Red Carpet Moment Ever, setting a 8,868-tweet-per-second record that dwarfed news of the royal wedding and the killing of Osama bin Laden. It wasn't just another blingy pop-culture moment: That reveal was the 21st-century equivalent of a pregnant Lucille Ball shattering convention in 1953, when the childbirth episode of I Love Lucy beat out ratings for Dwight Eisenhower's presidential inauguration the following day. Celeb Motherhood Redefined? Twenty years after Demi Moore's watershed pregnancy cover for Vanity Fair, Beyoncé is making it clear that she's ready to grab the mantle and redefine celebrity motherhood, commanding the world to feel the love inside her sequined tuxedo jacket. "It's a very human instinct going back centuries, this fascination with what's really going on in pregnancy. Is she or is she not? What's going on inside that bump?" says Ziv Eisenberg, a Yale historian who studies the history of pregnancy in modern America. "But in the last 50 years and especially the last 20, we've been constantly redrawing the lines and asking, what parts of the pregnant body can we consume?" Like The Root on Facebook.

"He who fails to plan, plans to fail." -Proverbs
And that quote meant planning three months in advance. Yes, my first trip to Vietnam was three months in the making. It began with booking Cebu Pacific's Zero Fare for International Flights last June 2011. I always make it a point to travel on a budget yet create everlasting memories.
In those three months, I allotted time to research on my itineraries. The members of the Pinoy Travel Bloggers Group on Facebook, TripAdvisor, and The Thorn Three Forum of Lonely Planet helped me in deciding where to go, what to do, and other relevant information for first-timers.
I have so many stories to tell. But first, I'd like to share a rundown of our itinerary for 4 Days and 3 nights in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) and in the Mekong Delta.
Sept. 28- Day 0- Leaving Manila
-A cheap international flight means a midnight flight. Travel time from Manila to Ho Chi Minh City is 2 1/2 hours.
11:00 PM- Goodbye Manila
Sept. 29: DAY 1- Goodmorning Vietnam!
12:30 AM- Arrival at Tan Son Nhat International Airport (Vietnam is one hour behind Manila time. Manila time of our arrival was 1:30 AM)
1:00 AM- Check-in at Seventy Hotel (70 Bui Vien St., District 1)
2:00 AM-6:00 AM- SLEEP (bitin!)
6:00AM-7:30 AM- Preparation for Cu Chi/ Breakfast at Seventy Hotel
7:45 AM- Assembly at Sinh Tourist office
8:00 AM- Depart for Cu Chi Tunnel
9:00 AM-11:30 AM- Roam around Cu Chi and learn about the Vietnam War
12:00 PM- Visit the Handicapped Handicrafts (This was the touristy part of going into a shop when on a group tour. I'll write a separate post for this)
12:30 PM- Back in Saigon
1:30 PM-2:30 PM Late Lunch at Nhà hàng Mimosa (88 Bùi Vi?n Street)
2:30-4:30 PM- Return to Seventy Hotel/ Rest.
4:30-6:30 PM- Cross the busy and "death defying" streets of Saigon & Roam Ben Thanh Market
6:30 PM-7:30 PM- Eat dinner at Quan An Ngon Restaurant (160 Pasteur Street)
7:30 PM-Getting lost and familiarizing ourselves with Saigon
8:00 PM-Back at Seventy Hotel and rest
Sept. 30-Day 2: Going to the Mekong Delta

Venturing Out on My Own
Last weekend was completely invigorating. For once, I took it upon myself to go out and have a few drinks on my own. I usually go out with a crowd, but this time I thought it would be more exciting if I ventured out on my own. To my surprise after only an hour of being alone, I scored an awesome local fuck. It made my night so much more interesting and gave me a reason to smile when I woke up in bed the next morning. When I went to work the day after, I bragged to all my friends/co-workers about the awesome evening I had. They couldn't believe it at first, they thought I was just making the whole story up. But luckily for me, to back my story up I showed them the pictures that we took at the bar. That was more than enough to prove to them that I, there hardworking co-worker, actually had a date.

Dipoto meets with Arizona GM on Day 1 of winter meetings
December 9th, 2013, 3:45 pm by By JEFF FLETCHERLAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. – Just before Jerry Dipoto met with reporters on the first day of the winter meetings, the Angels general manager emerged from a meeting with Kevin Towers, his Arizona Diamondbacks counterpart.
That's how rumors get started.
Truthfully, it served only to fuel the existing speculation that the Angels and the Diamondbacks were a fit, with Mark Trumbo going to Arizona for one of the Diamondbacks pitchers.
Dipoto said the Angels "are still trying to figure out" if there's a ...

Godspell the Musical
Date(s) - 1 Mar 2013 until 2 Mar 2013
First United Methodist Church of Port Orange
Six performances of 'Godspell' the musical set for Feb. 22 through March 3 in Port Orange
Experience first-hand the Broadway musical Godspell during two weeks of performances from Feb. 22 through March 3 at First United Methodist Church of Port Orange.
Tickets are now on sale for $10 each by calling the church office at 386.767.6161 or visiting the church office at 305 Dunlawton Ave., Port Orange, 32127. Credit cards are accepted with phone reservations.
Performances are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, March 1 and 2; and 2 p.m. Sunday, March 3. All performances will be held in the First United Methodist Church of Port Orange sanctuary, 305 Dunlawton Ave., Port Orange.
A musical by Stephen Schwartz and a book and originally directed by John-Michael Tebelak, Godspell features a series of parables from the Gospel of Matthew set to modern music. Drawing from various theatrical traditions, such as clowning, pantomime, charades, acrobatics and vaudeville, Godspell is a groundbreaking and unique reflection on the life of Jesus, with a message of kindness, tolerance and love.
The critically acclaimed and widely popular musical opened off Broadway on May 17, 1971, and has played in a large number of touring companies many times since, including a nine-month run on Broadway from October 2011 to June 2012. Several cast albums have been released over the years and one song, "Day by Day," from the original cast album, reached No. 13 on the Billboard pop singles chart in the summer of 1972.
The Port Orange production will be directed by Ted Pack, who is active in local theatre, with musical direction by educator Kim Scaccia, director of the Chancel Choir at First United Methodist Church of Port Orange. Choreography is being handled by Pam Paramour, with sound by Jim Ownby. The performance will feature local artists.
All in the community are invited to join us for this exciting event! For more information, call the church at 386.767.6161 or visit First United Methodist Church of Port Orange.

Known as a small, seaside hideaway just north of San Diego, the town of Del Mar, Calif., offers the typical attractions of an ocean community. Nestled along 2.1 miles of the Pacific coastline, Del Mar offers its residents an unhurried, laidback way of life. With a population of approximately 4,000, Del Mar maintains a hometown charm that makes it an ideal place to raise a family. Search for Del Mar apartments for rent, and experience beautiful weather year-round in southern California.
The historic village of Del Mar traces its history to the late 19th century, when the city was a newly created settlement in San Diego County. A New Yorker named Theodore Loop built a railroad from Los Angeles to San Diego, and the city of Del Mar was created as a stop along the track. Today, Del Mar is a relaxed Oceanside town with many accolades. Residents stay constantly connected to nature through many sustainable business and cultural initiatives. Local authorities work to implement enduring living and development practices that safeguard natural resources for future generations. The city has maintained a small population of people who live in Del Mar apartments, although the shoreline here is often thought to be "the most attractive place on the entire coast."
Del Mar is home to a number of different attractions, including the Del Mar City Beach, Del Mar Race Track and Seagrove Park. The SkySurfer Balloon Company allows visitors of take in the beautiful Southern California scenery from high in the sky with a hot air balloon ride. The Free Flight exotic bird sanctuary is also here, and educates society on the importance of supporting aviculture. The sanctuary contains informational tools and numerous species of rescued exotic birds. The city also hosts exciting events throughout the year, including the Harvest Festival,

As a shivering and nervous new recruit to the British Army in 2007 -- wearing three layers just to keep warm -- Semesa Rokoduguni began to seriously question why he had left the tropical Pacific Island of Fiji.
"Everyone just looked at me and burst out laughing," he told CNN's Human to Hero series.
With limited grasp of the English language, Rokoduguni had to bite his lip and take his medicine to earn the respect of his colleagues in the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards, a tank regiment based in Germany.
But fast forward six years and Rokoduguni has had the last laugh because when he is not patrolling the front line with the army in dangerous trouble spots such as Afghanistan, he is charging to the try line at the home of rugby union Twickenham.
The skills he acquired playing barefoot as a child back home in rugby-mad Fiji -- where kids often use bottles because they have no ball -- earned him a place in the British Army representative side and it was not long before professional clubs took an interest.
Still a serving officer, risen to the rank of Lance Corporal, Rokoduguni signed a professional contract with leading English Premiership side Bath at the start of 2012-13 season.
Star rookie
Now 25, his swift and aggressive running has seen him impress despite his rookie status and he scored a fine try in a recent win over one of the most successful clubs in European rugby, Leicester.
It's a highly unusual double life and he reminds his new teammates that although rugby is a tough and physical sport, the lifestyle is a world apart from active service.
"I've been telling the boys at Bath, we do four patrols a day and you have to do that for every single day, there's no Saturday or Sunday, where you get days off. It's a hard life."
But Rokoduguni also believes the teamwork ethic that is necessary for very survival in a theater of conflict such as Afghanistan can cross over to sports.
"Trusting the guys beside you it is basically the same thing out there and on the rugby field as well," he said.
"Team bonding is a massive thing out there, you have to trust every single one in front of you, left right and behind you."
Rokoduguni's performance for the Army against the Navy in the traditional annual match at a packed Twickenham last year -- running in a hat-trick of tries -- brought him to national prominence for the first time.
Given his outstanding performances in the pro game with Bath, expectations were high for the 2013 edition last weekend.
Record crowd
A record crowd of over 72,000 watched the match -- the increased interest echoing the hullabaloo which surrounds the Army-Navy clash in collegiate gridiron football in the United States -- and the Fijian ace did not disappoint.
Another hat-trick of tries helped the Army team to another thrilling 43-26 victory over their arch rivals.
Just setting foot for the first time on the turf at the "Holy Grail" of the sport was an eye opener for Rokoduguni, given the rudimentary facilities he had grown up with.
"I thought, 'Oh my god, this is Twickenham.' I've just heard about this place and watching it on telly, I never realized that I would set foot on a ground like this.
"I was thinking back to my primary school life, playing rugby barefoot, chasing people around, smashing each other up! "
Rugby is the national sport in Fiji -- a former colony of the British Empire, hence the tradition of young men from the Pacific Island joining its armed forces.
Rokoduguni's uncle followed that route and inspired his nephew to sign up in the summer of 2007. His brother is also serving with famous Black Watch regiment in Scotland.
Despite the relatively small numbers of Fijians in the British Army, they make a large contingent of the rugby squad and for Rokoduguni it's almost a home from home, and allows him to use his native tongue in private moments.

Outstanding location. Close to Empire State, Grand Central, and the Chrysler building. Dead centre of Manhattan. Very comfortable room and quiet for NYC. Extremely helpful staff - special mention goes to the young doorman who did more for NYC tourism, with his advice and tips, than all the marketing put together. ATM on site. Guest operated laundry. Great boutique hotel.
Could some times be a longish wait for the elevator, but nothing too major. Sometimes the laundry ran out of washing powder. No major issues.
Good hotel, excellent position close to the main sights. Nice big room suitable for two teenage boys, great shower. Very pleased overall
Kitchenette facility had no plates or utensils, just glasses
The location was central.
The cleaning staff were very noisy from around 8.30. The rooms were a little shabby and not cleaned thoroughly. The rooms carry noise easily so sleep was frequently interrupted.
the location, the roof-top bar, the free WiFi in reception and the wine hour each evening
Very expensive parking - I found an alternative garage. Two queen beds, for a father with a son and daughter was not ideal.
This hotel exceeded our expectations.... and some! We were in NYC with friends, to celebrate our joint wedding anniversaries. We had the most wonderful and memorable time, thanks largely to the service and ease of the staff at the Affinia Shelburne. The hotel is located away from the major hustle of Midtown but close enough to walk or easily access the subway to attend major attractions. It's very clean and comfortable and the staff extremely attentive. It was quite busy during our stay but there was always adequate staff available to tend to requests or advice. The 'Rare' Bar & Bistro proved a saviour to us after some long days and the 'roof bar' added another unique dimension to the experience. Congratulations to the management and staff of the Affinia Shelburne - I have no hesitation in recommending this hotel to other travellers.

Military Heraldry and Technology
Military Heraldry & Technology contains an extensive collection of objects illustrating Australia's military history. Items date from the Australian colonial period to recent wars and peacekeeping activities, and there is a comprehensive range of Australian, enemy and allied forces' material. Most objects were collected on the Memorial's behalf during wartime, or have been donated or purchased since.
The Military Heraldry collection comprises a wide variety of material, including uniforms, the nation's largest collection of Victoria Crosses, a large collection of other significant honours and awards, regimental colours and flags, souvenirs and personal equipment. In addition, the collection contains battlefield relics, some of which were collected by one of the founders of the Memorial, C.E.W. Bean, and by others charged with this activity in two world wars and recent conflicts.
The Military Technology collection comprises thousands of items, ranging in size from a surgical needle to a four-engined bomber. The objects include aircraft, vehicles, vessels, communications equipment, weapons, models, meteorological equipment, medical instruments, cameras, and optical devices.
To search the heraldry and technology collection please enter at least one search term in the box below and click the search button.
The Military Heraldry & Technology collection can be searched using the Collection search database. Descriptions and photographs of over 15,000 heraldry and technology items can be found in the database, with new records being added regularly.
Viewing of collection items which are not on exhibition may be arranged by appointment. We ask that you provide us with a minimum of two weeks' notice and that you speak with the MHT Duty Curator before planning your visit, as the item you may wish to see might be undergoing conservation care or need to be brought into our main work site.

The Fugitive - DVD
This 1993 box-office smash partly adheres to the 1960s TV series on which it is based and partly goes off on several tangents of its own. Harrison Ford stars as Dr. Richard Kimble, convicted of murdering his wife. While being transferred to prison by bus, Kimble is involved in a spectacular bus-train collision (one of the best of its kind ever filmed). Surviving the disaster, Kimble escapes, vowing to track down the elusive professional criminal whom he holds responsible for the murder. Dogging the fugitive every foot of the way is U.S. marshal Sam Gerard (an Oscar-winning turn by Tommy Lee Jones), who announces his intention to search "every whorehouse, doghouse, and outhouse" to bring Kimble to justice. Unlike his dour TV-series counterpart Barry Morse, Jones plays the role with a sardonic sense of humor: when a cornered Kimble screams, "I didn't kill my wife," Gerard shrugs and famously replies, "I don't care." Once the premise has been established, scripters Jeb Stuart and David Twohy and director Andrew Davis pull off several audacious plot twists, ranging from Kimble's rendezvous with a sympathetic lab technician to a jaw-dropping dive into a huge waterfall. The second half of the film offers one surprise after another (including the true identity of the murderer), brilliantly avoiding the letdown that plagues many movie adaptations of old TV series. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Listen I wouldn't speak to you about something Obama will be speaking about shortly.
He's going to be talking about this to do list he's given congress now this is now for a little while on -- -- -- all kinds of things including clean energy.
But I recently I spoke to that house speaker John Boehner and when I total about the to delist here's what he had to say.
-- -- -- Since the president checked out -- labored there's nowhere to be found.
Let's easy for him throughout the campaign trail every day and and be critical but why isn't a president leading.
What do you make of that.
Well I look I think the president does needed to do lest it you know Jerry for the sake of the debate this isn't to do list for the president to to do list he's giving -- progress that's.
Are -- -- -- would -- -- fat.
It's -- I got you know you should be doing what I would hate any said it was really insulting is that we're gonna make it short.
And sweet so congress can understand it.
Only big enough for sticky.
Well you know what -- -- as saying that -- in the house some number of bills have been that's I think there's about 22 point five bills that have been passed through the house the real graveyard of congress -- the senate and this may come to a surprise surprise and Obama but that's run by the Democrats and senator -- that the -- I was gonna make it look the most urgent thing we can do between now on the election in my opinion Jerry.
To help the financial markets to help the economy overall.
Is take taxman gotten off the table to say look right we're not gonna have a -- tax increase on general in 2013 that's something -- but if President Obama would put that -- this to do -- I know that's -- job I had to do less and they get it together to do that.
I don't have a big rally impact on the working together cooperation in Washington where I have no idea what you're talking about a look at unless you about one other thing here and and it fascinated us today we've been talking about it all they want Allen's senate Simpson.
From the debt commission you remember Alan Simpson right -- well he isn't across here today people talking about him because -- sent a letter criticizing.
It's similar to the California alliance for retired Americans which he said -- -- using the deficit is a phony excuse to gut our Social Security.
It's one of the -- excuses for a flyer I have ever seen.
Use the faces of young people who are the ones who are going to get guided by you continue to push out your blather and drivel.
What are stretching group -- seniors you must be to use the faces of the very people that we are trying to say while the greedy users like you.
Use them as tool and -- cut.
-- you're nefarious bunch of but now I am shocked by this I can't believe he's sent this and it's amazing to me what do you make of it.
But it's a pretty is -- -- geezer himself he's up there and age but you know I think that analysis and I don't always agree them.
I think he does have a point here Gerri look.
You know if we're not we're -- -- much of the federal budget now that the biggest transfer of payments goes to senior citizens the Medicare and so security and what do you say -- look you know if that if the seniors are getting the bulk of the money that young people are gonna have to borrow to -- this is putting a real burden on your children my children and future generations I think it's a very valid point -- get those stops and under control seniors groups can't say no particular cut Medicare you can't cut Medicaid -- can't get Social Security.
Yeah that's what I want kids yeah according to make progress on his -- that those -- the program doesn't have to start getting got.
If you just say at ninth and I think I've yet -- -- I agree with dot you know -- look I'll.
I actually believe that senior citizens on people like my parents who were up in age we're collecting Social Security Medicare I do believe that for the good of their kids and grandkids they'd be willing to take a cut in these programs they understand there's no such thing as free money.
There's no such thing as free baby and any -- that the -- here but I think grandparents really do care about -- -- and you understand the implications -- Following one point four trillion dollars of debt each -- what does -- out of the -- Fiscal -- but.
