Improving Our Balance Sheet
Ford Motor Company reported 2010 full year net income of $6.6 billion, or $1.66 per share, an increase of $3.8 billion, or 80 cents per share, from 2009. This was Ford's highest net income in more than 10 years, as strong products and new investments fueled improvements in all of the company's business operations around the world.
"Our 2010 results exceeded our expectations, accelerating our transition from fixing the business fundamentals to delivering profitable growth for all," said Alan Mulally, Ford president and CEO. "We are investing in an unprecedented amount of products,technology and growth in all regions of the world."
This increase reflects a profit in each Automotive segment led by strong performance in North America, reflecting primarily favorable volume and mix as well as favorable net pricing. Ford Credit's strong profit also contributed significantly to Ford's full year performance.
Ford made significant progress in strengthening its balance sheet, reducing Automotive debt by $14.5 billion in 2010, a 43 percent reduction. These actions will lower annualized interest expense by about $1 billion. Ford finished the year with Automotive gross cash exceeding debt by $1.4 billion.
The progress that we made improving our core Automotive business has allowed us to strengthen significantly the balance sheet in 2010, and this will remain a key area of focus for us in 2011.
We continue to manage the business for long term profitable growth.

On my second bottle

Purchased at iHerb
I really like this supplement. I take two every night on an empty stomach. I originally took it because I had pain from ovarian cysts, a uterine fibroid, and cervical nabothian cysts, all of which are thought to be treatable with Serrapeptase. So far, the results have been that the ovarian cysts went away, as did the cervical cysts, based on the follow-up ultrasound. The fibroid is still there, but I wonder if in time, it might shrink. I also have fibrocystic breast condition, which seems to have improved, based on how they feel (less lumpy and a bit less painful/swollen near my period). One unexpected bonus effect of this product is that the tartar buildup on my teeth, which I've been plagued with my entire life in spite of dilligent brushing, has dramatically and strangely disappeared. I haven't done anything different to my oral routine. Somehow the gunk doesn't build up on my teeth, and I haven't had a professional dental cleaning, so the only explanation is the Serrapeptase. It is supposed to clean the arteries of plaque, so I wonder if this dental effect is a reflection of what's also going on internally. That would be amazing. I've had high cholesterol my whole life, despite being thin and eating healthy. I wonder if my next cholesterol test will show an improvement. If it does, I will add that information to this review. A+ for this Serrapeptase.
Amazingly effective

I really wanted Dr's Best to work - who doesn't want to save money - but having compared theirs 120,000 to Serretia, I've ordered 5 bottles of this. It's really that good. I don't know why there's such a difference, after all I tried the same strength (2x120k = 240k drs best vs 250k of this) I've been taking it for about 6 weeks now. Improvements: carpal tunnel gone in 30 minutes (couldn't believe it myself); skin all over is very smooth, texture much improved and cellulite gone without unusual work-outs; no more spitting mucus in the mornings, and fresher breath, too; 3-year old hip issue nearly resolved. I'm young, but had an ice-skating injury. I hadn't realized how that low-level pain affected my activities. I'm now able to do my favorite Pilates workout and sleep on the hip without waking up from pain. I'm prone to injuries and find that bruises heal faster now. Many other small improvements I can't think of right now. I'm a huge fan. Please don't stop making it. Important note: works best if taken 3 hours after the last meal at night, and 1.5 hours prior to breakfast.

Knox County rapist admits trying to kill pregnant 10-year-old victim
what kind of monster would do this to an innocent child. Do not blame the parents. These child molesters trick the families to get at the child. This child's life is in danger. The parents must relocate and hide this poor child after this trial. If this monster gets out he may hurt this girl.
It is pretty sad for the victims. there are some here in Rockford Illinois. These pimps hold the girls hostage and make them prostitutes. I know because I ran into a 18 year old black girl who was being offering sex in a mobile home park. I was visiting my ex boyfriend. He said the pimp was gonna kill the girl because the girl could not come up with 100.00 for a trick she did. he was not gonna pay the girl. so the pimp slammed the girls head into a window until she was almost knocked out. then my ex boyfriend gave the pimp $100.00 not to kill the girl. pretty sad. I do not know where or who the girl prostitute was. My ex boyfriend said he did not know who she was. my ex boyfriend moved out of state after that incident.

I work at Chrysler just got hired in last year, but I applied last year at VW. still on a waiting list. I can also speak a some German and Spanish. I live in Illinois wonder if I should stay at Chrysler. not sure, will see if the VW ever call someone from out of state.
Alabama police arrest another in weekend shooting
The same thing happened to my step dad in the 1960s. He is deceased now. My step dad had a kind heart. He was a very intelligent man also. He ended up years later after this incident becoming a Nasa Engineer. This story takes place in Duluth Mn. A man approached him for a ride . Once my step dad Richard started to drive the hitchhiker pulled out a gun. My step father drove for several hours trying to please the man with the gun. Finally Richard said let's get a bite to eat. Richard convinced the hitchhiker to stop at a outdoor restaurant. Like a drive through in the 1950s. Richard drove to this restaurant. He pulled his car in and stopped. A waitress approached Richard and the hitchhiker and she took their order. When the waitress started to walk away. Richard told the hitchhiker he was gonna scream. The hitchhiker said I will shoot you. Then Richard said well they will get you because they have seen you. Richard said now just get out of the car and run and I will not say anything. Richard and the hitchhiker argued for a while. Then Richard convinced the hitch-hiker to take a run for it. The hitchhiker put his gun in his pocket and ran out of the vehicle. Richard had promised the hitchhiker he never would call police. Richard never did. But Richard my step dad lived to tell this story. He made me promise never to pick up hitchhikers no matter what the situation. It is just too dangerous.

Are you unhappy about the shape of your nose? Have you sustained an injury to your nose or currently suffer from a nasal birth defect that prevents you from breathing easily? Then you have probably entertained the idea of rhinoplasty.
But is nose reshaping the best option for you? What does nose surgery entail? What are the potential risks you need to be aware of? How long will it take to recover from the nasal procedure? What kind of nose reshaping results can you expect from the surgery? What is the best way to locate and evaluate a reputable facial plastic surgeon. How can you be sure the doctor you choose is qualified to perform nose reshaping? Will the cost of rhinoplasty be covered by your health insurance?
Rhinoplasty can be performed for medical reasons, cosmetic reasons, or both. If you suffer from a breathing problem due to blockage of your nasal passageway, then you may be eligible to receive insurance payments for the medical aspect of your surgery. If the surgery focuses on both medical necessity and cosmetic purposes, then insurance may pay a portion and you would be responsible for the portion related to cosmetic surgery. The nose is the most prominent feature of your face and a change in the nasal appearance can greatly improve self-confidence. Important questions can occur in your mind when considering this surgery.
To help you find answers to these questions, this site puts you in touch with credible online resources about this popular cosmetic procedure. This site provides you information about the essential aspects of rhinoplasty that allow you to:
Many patients who undergo facial plastic surgery also decide to have other types of cosmetic procedures, such as breast augmentation, tummy tuck or liposuction. Surgery is a very personal decision and should be taken seriously when considering a cosmetic enhancement procedure. You can read information about topics related to enhancement surgery, such as LASIK vision correction or how to find a dentist, by visiting our sister websites.
Check out our facelift website, which includes topics such as surgery and risks, recovery and results. You can also access credible information about breast surgery procedures. There are also now a wide range of elective procedures that are minimally invasive, including new types of liposuction and a wide range of injectables. Ask your plastic surgeon during your rhinoplasty consultation if he or she one or more of these other procedures would you to attain your cosmetic goals.

Sanity is madness put to good use. – George Santayana
Yesterday was traumatic. I thought either my new Apple Airport Extreme, or my Mac Power Book G4, was a lemon. My sweet husband talked to a Mac specialist over the phone for nearly two hours, but regardless of what we tried, I kept loosing my Internet connection while I was blogging. That's right, while I was blogging! I became so upset, I drove my poor spouse into hiding. After slamming doors and cussing like a sailor, I decided it was time to make a 100 mile round trip pilgrimage to the nearest Apple Store to get some help. Before I went to bed, I made an appointment to see a "Mac Genius" in the morning. When life hands me lemons, I make lemonade.
We left for the Apple Store this morning, just after rush hour. I felt happy and joyful. Yes, we were going there for help, but we were also going to have some fun. The Apple Store is our favorite toy store. I became ecstatic as we entered the mall parking lot. When I walked into the Apple Store, I felt myself being transported into a computer paradise. All the guys working in the store were hip and cool, and the gals were tekkie chic. There were computers as far as the eye could see, displayed as fine art. My husband sighed as he gazed into the 17-inch screen of a Mac G5. I ran amok in the digital camera department. A clerk asked me, "What-up?" I guess that's the hip-cool way of asking, "May I help you?" I told him I was waiting to see a genius.
The guy at the genius counter was amazing. I was dazzled by how he ran through a list of menu options while asking me questions about my computer. He figured out what happened yesterday in about 30 seconds. I wasn't sitting close enough to the Airport base station when I was signing onto the Internet. That news could have been distressing, but I wasn't upset. I was too busy enjoying my Mac lemonade.

Hello, I'm a Mac lover, too. When I was looking for a new laptop, my kids told me to buy a Mac. I thought they would be hard to use, but my little darlings told me Bill Gates brainwashed me. Now that I'm not hooked up to wires, I blog all over the house. Thank you Steve Jobs.
Dr. A., when did you get tuned into Macs?

<item id="22.214.171.124"/>
The following selection control with tree appearance uses the
class attribute
<xforms:select ref="value" appearance="xxforms:tree">
<xforms:itemset ref="instance('itemset')//item" class="my-{if (exists(*)) then 'folder' else 'leaf'}">
<xforms:label ref="@id"/>
<xforms:value ref="@id"/>
In this case, the
class attribute is an AVT setting a different class depending on whether the item is a leaf item or not.
Internal appearance
When the
xxforms:internal appearance is used, the selection control does not have any visual representation on the client.
This appearance is useful to implement custom selection controls with XBL and/or JavaScript.
Tree appearance
For select and select1If you specify
appearance="xxforms:tree" on an
<xforms:select> or
<xforms:select1>, it will be rendered as a tree, as shown in the screenshots below. The nesting of the tree nodes in the UI will follow the nesting of the nodes you point to with
<xforms:itemset ref="...">.
Styling of the nodes
You can use an AVT in the the
class attribute on the
<xforms:itemset> to produce different CSS classes for different nodes, which you can then, for instance, be used to show different icons for different nodes. You'll find more information about this in how to add different icons to tree nodes.
If you with have a tooltip show when users mouse over the "+" and "-" icons, add the class
xforms-show-tooltip on your
<xforms:select> or
<xforms:select1>. The tooltip will use the label of the node followed by either "Expand" or "Collapse". At this point, you can't change or localize this text.
By default,
<xforms:select> and
<xforms:select1> with appearance="xxforms:tree" behave as if
incremental="true" was set: as soon as users select a node, the change is reflected in the instance. If you specify
incremental="false" changes are only reflected when users move the focus to another control.
Controlling which tree nodes are initially open
<xforms:itemset> element supports the
xxforms:open extension attribute, which determines which nodes of the tree are open when the tree is first rendered. You can use
<xforms:itemset xxforms:open="true"> if you want all the nodes to be open. If you have a condition under which nodes should be open, use an AVT. For instance, the following will open just the first level of the tree. If you wanted to open all the nodes up to 3 levels of depth, you would instead write
{count(ancestor-or-self::item) le 3}.

Drugs are stupid.
No matter how fun it might be to sing "POP A MOLLY I'M SWEATING, WOOOO" over and over again, drugs are still, in fact, stupid. Last year, former Fresno State legend Chris Herren was profiled on ESPN's 30 for 30 documentary series titled, "Unguarded." Drugs, alcohol and poor choices in the friends around him derailed a promising basketball career. Now, Herren is on a mission to talk to kids and help get them on the right path. (Like maybe going to some inpatient Florida drug and alcohol detox centers)
Herren enlisted the help of NBA Hall of Famer Chris Mullin, 2-time NCAA champion head coach Billy Donovan and the folks at Million Dollar Ballers to help spread the gospel of The Herren Project. Some words from our friends over at Million Dollar Ballers:
Founded by former NBA player Chris Herren, The Herren Project helps individuals and families struggling with addiction. The author of Basketball Junkie and subject of the ESPN film Unguarded, Herren speaks year round to students, teams, companies and organizations, sharing his story with the hope of reaching just one person and making a difference in their life."His story transcends race, gender, age and socio-economic group," says owner Greg Beers. "Chris has dedicated his life to helping others. We're proud to collaborate with Chris Mullin and Billy Donovan in supporting him."

The 2011 Weber Boys' Cross Country team, coached by Dr. David O'Connor, finished the season with an 8-0 record. The 30 seventh and eighth grade boys competed against 11 schools including Clarke, Friends Academy, Garden City, Great Neck, Herricks, Hicksville, Jericho, Locust Valley, Manhasset, North Shore, Roslyn, and Syosset.
"This was a banner season," stated Coach O'Connor who offered encouragement and strong coaching advice to all of the boys. Along with an undefeated record, on Saturday, Oct. 22 the team took the Nassau County championship by defeating over 15 schools and 150 boys in the cross-country carnival. The cross-country carnival is the biggest meet of the season, where each team competes against other school teams within the county.
Great running and exemplary effort by everyone throughout the season.

Series: Evolution Basics (50 entries)
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
This entry was originally posted on February 17, 2010. In this video conversation, Jeff Schloss makes the observation that when we use the term "evolution", it is not always exactly clear what we are actually discussing unless we denote the intended usage.
The evidence suggests that God has chosen to work through a random process, one which involves the routine creation and destruction of millions of cells that never get used. This is the ordinary means by which God maintains our health. The miracles of healing recorded in the Bible are miraculous precisely because they don't occur by this normal, natural process.
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
The tension generated by our understanding of God's character, as revealed in the Bible, and by the reality of the natural world around us has been the focus of much debate within the Christian church since the first century. This series examines critically several of the proposed solutions to this problem, viewing them from the perspective of a geologist, paleontologist, and orthodox evangelical Christian.
As an Evangelical and a scientist, Katharine Hayhoe is already a member of a rare breed. As a climate change researcher who is also married to an evangelical Christian pastor, she is nearly one of a kind.
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to "Darwinian" evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
The Denisovans, an extinct hominid group that interbred with modern humans, made the news again lately with the publication of a more detailed study of their genome. One of the many interesting findings was that the Denisovans share the same chromosome 2 fusion that modern humans have.
When they imagine evolution, many Christians picture novelty: new species arising over time, or speciation events. But as the most recent Southern Baptist Voices exchange makes clear, many Christians also focus on the role of death in evolution—something that can be a stumbling block.
It is one thing to say that death is primordial; it is another to view it as the central means of creation. The theological uneasiness about this issue ultimately rests not just on an understanding of God's creative activity, but also on a particular representation of evolution.
Considering the immense popularity of "Darwin's finches", it is quite surprising to learn that Charles Darwin himself had very little to say about them. In fact, it was actually David Lack, one century later, who conducted the critical research that immortalized the finches in biology textbooks and popular lore.
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
We live in exciting times for a geneticist: more and more genomes are being sequenced, and more and more novel genome-wide analyses are being performed to shed light on what all those newly-determined sequences mean.
Scientists have found multiple lines of evidence for evolution, not just one or two. These types of evidence are independent of each other, coming from sources as different as ancient fossils and modern genetics labs. Evidence also comes from comparing the anatomy of creatures living today. All creatures with four limbs (whether mammals, birds, or reptiles) have the same bone structure in each limb, pointing to their descent from a common ancestor. More evidence comes from biogeography. Isolated islands are missing common species found on the mainland, but are filled with many unique species that can be related by a common ancestor. Finally, evidence comes from embryonic development. As an embryo of a mammal grows, its heart develops through stages similar to fish, amphibians, and reptiles. God's creation declares the history of life in many different ways. All these ways are pointing to a consistent picture of God creating through evolution.
There are two opposite errors which need to be countered about the fossil record: 1) that it is so incomplete as to be of no value in interpreting patterns and trends in the history of life, and 2) that it is so good that we should expect a relatively complete record of the details of evolutionary transitions within all or most lineages.

Thank you so much for doing such a wonderful job on my parents cupcakes. They almost did not want to eat them because they were too beautiful.
I just wanted to acknowledge that your cakes were a hit and that the consensus is that they are the cutest cupcakes anyone has ever seen. You have a team of people looking at your website, so I really hope it sells your work even more.

Hi Caroline,
This time of year always presents problems for either getting things made or even getting people you invite to attend early January functions... but neither is the case here!
I called Caroline on the eve of New Year's leaving a message that if she was at all able to help me with cake for 30 people for my son's 21st on 8th January she could call me after the holidays. I said I didnt expect a call that evening and apologised for EVEN calling her on NYE!
Within 45 minutes not only had Caroline called me back but we came up with a wonderful solution to my needs...35 cupcakes and all with a beach theme!
Friday 7th I was presented with the most colourful, perfectly made cupcakes: some with tropical fish, some with sandcastles and others with starfish, shells, seahorses and purple and green flip flops! I had asked for my son's name to go on 5 of the cakes with the number 21. These were done on wires with the letters LEE and 21 on two other wires...they were GORGEOUS!! Her moist vanilla cake was completely made from scratch and the smell was incredible and they tasted even better! The butter cream frosting was a pretty blue and everyone just marvelled at how delicious and equally gorgeous they were. When you get a lot of 20 year old guys wowing over the cakes you know it's good!
I cannot thank Caroline enough for the care taken and service given. I was able to borrow a cupcake stand which she decorated in the colours of the theme and three special boxes that helped me transport them from The Hills to the Central Coast restaurant. I have no hesitation recommending 'Design my cupcake' to anyone!
Thank you so much Caroline from Lorraine and Lee !!
"Hi Caroline
I want to thank you so much for the gorgeous cupcakes you made for me and my friends. The mini handbags and shoes are just so cute and absolutely stunning. It certainly gave a wow factor to our celebrations! They were so amazing that even one of the guys took the pink channel hand bag back to the office to show it off. And of course, to top it off, the cupcakes were all so yummy!
Hi Caroline
I'm the student teacher that has been teaching your daughters class for the past four weeks. Just wanted to send an email to say thank you for making the cupcakes for the class party! They were phenomenal!
I kept the business card you left and had a look at your website. At first I thought you were part of a big franchise because of how professional the site looked but I noticed that all the testimonials were addressed to you. All I can say is that I am blown away! All the cupcakes look delicate, scrumptious and beautifully made! I have a photography business as a side hobby and will definitely be telling my clients and friends about you!
Kind regards,
Hello Caroline,
Firstly I will start by saying WOW! What an absolutely amazing job Caroline has done with the task that I had set for her. I had designed my mothers birthday invitation and the background on the invite was a pretty floral pattern and a channel perfume bottle. So I had this crazy idea to replica the flowers and channel perfume bottle onto the cupcakes, I know crazy ha but it wasn't for Caroline as she was only to happy to oblige my request. Every single cupcake was made to perfection each one was so beautiful I have never seen anything like it before, the guests at the party stood around this masterpiece tower of cupcakes in awe. The cupcakes were also very moist and tasty we ordered more on purpose to keep the celebrations going over the weekend and into the week, three days later we had heated them in the microwave to have with a cupa and they were still so moist and fluffy. The service was effortless as there was nothing to big or small that Caroline could do for me. I would highly recommend Design my cupcake as Caroline understood how personal I wanted it be, I would definitely love to use this service again, countdown to the next party!
Thanks Caroline xox Helen NSW
Hi Caroline,
I just wanted to thank you for the beautiful cupcakes and cake for Lachlan's 2nd Birthday. I am so glad my sister in law found you.
They were such a hit and really set the tone for the party. All my friends and family couldn't get over how intricate the cakes were down to the rocks beside the track on the main cake. Everyone said we had 'set the bar' so to speak.
We were so thrilled and the cake saved the day as Lachlan was so overwhelmed by everyone singing and staring at him, that as soon as we handed him his cupcake all the tears went away and a big smile came over his face.
All the very best and I will be sure to spread the word.
Take care,
Hi Caroline,
Just wanted to let you know the cupcakes were fantastic, I did not think they would come out exactly as the image I had sent you.
Thank you so much, they were amazing, we absolutley loved the detail! They tasted just as good as they looked too.

"The cup cakes were a big hit at Jake's christening. Everybody, including the staff at the reception, commented on how great they looked and how much detail had gone into them.
They were more than what i had expected them to be so thank you soooo much Caroline i was so proud to show them off.
I wanted to thank you for all the time and effort that you spent on the cup cakes and making sure that they turned out perfect. It was a pleasure working with you and i would, without a doubt, recommend your services and i would definitely call you for future functions."
Kind regards,
Hi Caroline,
They are abosolutely wonderful - I couldn't have asked for anything better. You have put so much work and detail into them. Will send through photo's when we finally get to use them!
Thankyou so so much
Hi Caroline,
Evan's party on Saturday was fantastic and my first attempt ever at a dessert table went off without a hitch . I had lots of friends ask me where I got all those flowers from so I've handed your card out. Here are some pics. A lot, I know, but I really want you to see how fabulous all your flowers were. They pulled the whole theme together.
As you can see, the leftover flowers looked great placed on the synthetic grass. It just wouldn't have looked the same without those.
Thanks again Caroline. I really appreciate it. They were perfect and not a single one broken. How about that!
Love Mira
Hi Caroline,
Thank you again for making my daughters' 1st birthday so special with your wonderful cupcakes!
They looked and tasted fantastic! Best carrot cake with white chocolate ganache ever :)
I have attached a photo of them just in case you didnt get one.
Thank you again.....All of my guests were very impressed!

Anniversaries, Appreciations, Aleatorics, & an Apology
"It is very important in this piece," we were told, "not to listen to the other players, not to play in time with them, to play as differently from each other as you can." This, of course, is the opposite of what is drummed into one as a music student, and I am here to tell you that this was very difficult to do. And it was very off-putting to be playing apparently random notes, to be speeding up and slowing down, with what each of us was playing not seeming to make any sense. Yet, to our mutual astonishment, out of what appeared to be a mess of random noodlings there appeared in the room, hanging over the ensemble, an enormous C-major chord that slowly transitioned into other chords. The musical meaning was absent from any individual player's contribution. What mattered was the musical consensus that emerged from those contributions.
I raise this experience because it is very much relevant to how Stereophile chooses its annual Products of the Year, the 16th edition of which is featured in this issue. We operate a two-stage voting process, with first a nominating vote to produce a short list, then the magazine's reviewers and editors voting for their top three choices in each category. This process has been criticized both by readers and by some reviewers on the grounds that because no single reviewer will have heard all the products reviewed in the past year, any individual's selection will be meaningless.
But as with the aleatoric recorder composition, while each reviewer will have heard only some of the nominees, as long as they vote for those products they have heard and feel to be outstanding, when the voting is examined as a whole, a consensus emerges. End of sermon.
In November's "As We See It," I noted the 45th anniversary of Stereophile's founding by J. Gordon Holt, who offered some acerbic, even angry comments on how the high-end world has changed. The major manner in which the world of magazine publishing has changed, of course, was the introduction of the World Wide Web in the mid-1990s. We agonized over how Stereophile should enter that world, but it was a chance encounter in spring 1997 with musician, audiophile, cashed-out audio retailer, and self-proclaimed Web Monkey Jon Iverson that led to www.stereophile.com emerging from the dark on December 1, 1997.
Out of the blue, Jon had sent me an essay, "The Tiger Wags Its Tail," which I published in the April 1997 issue. In subsequent conversations, it emerged that not only did Jon have considerable insight into the magazine and its doings, he had strong ideas about how Stereophile should approach the brave new world of Web publishing. Jon visited then-publisher Larry Archibald and me in Santa Fe, pitched us a plan that we didn't have to think twice about adopting, and the rest is history—10 years' worth.
Jon is still our Web Monkey and more than 300,000 unique visitors now "hit" www.stereophile.com each month. Stephen Mejias, Wes Phillips, Fred Kaplan, and Robert Baird blog there regularly—even daily—and the site's forum and photo gallery are where readers can interact with the magazine's writers and editors, as well as with each other. Back issues and Stereophile CDs and LPs can be purchased from our e-commerce page. We update the home-page news and "Vote" every Monday, as well as add four or five reviews or articles to our free online archive.
Our goal is eventually to have everything Stereophile has ever published available in the website archives, and we are well along the road to reaching that goal: Getting on for 1500 equipment reviews, going back to the 1960s, are now available online, along with a large number of interviews, every "Recording of the Month" going back to June 1992, every "R2D4" feature, and many, many, many technical and musical articles. Not only have we posted every "As We See It" essay going back to January 1994, but also a large number of editorial leaders going all the way back to the magazine's founding.
Thank you for 10 great years, Jon, and thank you for choreographing that giant step forward for the magazine. I can't now imagine how a magazine could survive without a website to complement its print activities.
Something else you can find in the archives are the five years' worth of Art Dudley's "Listening" column. Yes, this issue sees the publication of the 60th edition of "Listening." It seems only yesterday that Art told me he was leaving Listener, the audio magazine he'd founded with his wife, Janet, and would I be interested in his contributing to Stereophile? Would I? I'd been a fan of Art's writing since he worked for The Abso!ute Sound in the mid-1980s. Another chance encounter, another step forward for the magazine. Thank you, Art.
In the very first "As We See It" in Vol.1 No.1, J. Gordon Holt had included a throwaway remark: "Other things that need looking into are . . . equipment-testing standards [and] subjective criteria for evaluating fidelity." We started routinely accompanying Stereophile's equipment reports with measurements in summer 1989, using, among other pieces of gear, an Audio Precision System One two-channel measurement system, which operates in both the analog and digital domains.
That Audio Precision One is still doing sterling service, but it's getting long in the tooth and is not really up to the task of assessing the best-performing modern components. I was very pleased, therefore, to get an e-mail out of the blue last summer from Audio Precision's Tom Williams. Tom told me that AP was appreciative of the work I was doing with the System One, and wondering if I would like to try their top-of-the-line Model 2722, which has both significantly greater resolution and greater bandwidth than the System One. Would I?
So, beginning next month, I will be transitioning our test regime to the System 2722. Thank you, Tom, and thank you, Audio Precision. And thank you, chance.
John Marks reviewed the Ars-Sonum Filarmonia integrated amplifier in our October issue. Unfortunately, when we referred to this product on our October cover, we described it as "Italian Art." The Filarmonia is, in fact, Spanish. Our apologies for the error to Ars-Sonum, and to their US distributor, Bobby Palkovic, of Merlin Music Systems.—John Atkinson

Anyone who has ever had a loved one in the hospital knows that the mind plays a big role in the healing process. The UVA Medical Center realizes this too, and has a cutting edge technique to help patients get better faster.
Martha Bryant is truly one of a kind.
She is the only ICU activities specialist in the nation. She works with patients whose health is fragile and future sometimes dim.
"She had neurological problems. They did not think she would walk again," Martha recalled of one of her patients.
But her work with such patients brightens their future.
"She gradually got better here, and went to rehab after three months," she continued. "And she's at home now and emails me about once a month."
She brightens their future because her work with her patients isn't really work, it's play.
"We've had requests for computers. We also have games," Martha explained.
Martha plays games with her patients, takes them outside, giving them something to look forward to. This helps them get stronger mentally and physically.
In fact, it's proven that Martha's work helps patients get better faster. Medical director Dr. Rob Sawyer says this is because her engagement keeps patients from getting depressed.
"If you let them sit in a room in a corner withdrawn from everything, they get depressed," he explained. "They don't want to interact, they start to realize what their situation is, and you have to have [someone to] help engaging those people and getting them better."
Doctors can treat the ICU patients immediately, but when the recovery process lingers, patients are more likely to experience complications and die. This is why getting them out of the ICU quickly is crucial.
Patient John Baker knows Martha can help him do this. "She works on strength training with my arms and legs," he said. "Its doing these things that will help me leave the hospital soon."
Judging by Martha's track record, Mr. Baker will be out of there in no time. Martha's work has been so successful that other departments are trying to steal her away from the ICU.

Reader comment on item: Niqab Security Outrages at Airports
Submitted by Gene (Canada), Aug 9, 2010 at 19:33
We have to ask ourselves if we are going to let religion trump law or visa versa.
History clearly proves that appeasement of any aggressor country/group/party never leads to a good outcome.
Being PC seems to have trumped common sense.

Cheap Thrills Exposes Human Awfulness
By Alan Scherstuhl
This has not been a memorable fall and winter movie season. If last summer was unusually long on intelligent, well-crafted films, this -- the supposedly "smart" season -- has been largely a string of disappointments, from Scorsese to Eastwood. So it was more than a pleasant surprise to see that a filmmaker I'd given up for dead would present the strongest film not only of the season, but maybe of the year. Yes, I'm talking about Steven Spielberg.
He apparently recovered his box-office touch with Jurassic Park, but the paper-thin characters and thrown-together story in that amusement park of a movie were the summer's real fossils. The word that Spielberg didn't linger at the studio for the standard post-production work, that he was too eager to get at his Holocaust story, was stomach-turning. Here was a filmmaker badly in need of redemption, but I figured he had traveled much too far down the wrong road ever to find his way back. This story -- his tribute to the murdered Jews -- looked to appeal to all of his worst instincts. It would be the story of one man's victory against the odds, and I had long since lost interest in Spielberg's shallow optimism. He would once again be dealing with an abusive and unjust social system, just as he did in one of the least watchable movies of the '80s, The Color Purple. Would his portrayal of the Holocaust be anywhere near as false -- as obscenely false -- as his take on black Southern life at the turn of the century?
These are the fears I carried into the theater, dragging my feet and hoping the print would somehow not arrive. Then Schindler's List began, with a color image of old Jewish men lighting a candle. The camera follows the blue smoke as it ascends, then the screen goes black-and-white, and the smoke is billowing out of a smokestack. This is a clever visual effect, and the scene the image opens into is so striking that Spielberg's insistence on shooting in black-and-white feels right, rather than pretentious.
Cinematographer Janusz Kaminski simply must win every possible award for his work here. Before the story itself gets rolling, Kaminski's roving, hand-held camera has given the movie a documentary, cinŽma verite feel, so it plays as a living document, rather than as Spielberg's lecture on the hell of war. But before long, as we first see German opportunist Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson) charming his way into the Nazi inner circle of Krakow, it's apparent that Spielberg has emerged from a decade-old cocoon and is working with his old self-assurance -- only this time it is applied to the most intimidating of subject matters, rather than his early pop redemption fables.
Spielberg keeps his touch light in the early going, betraying no need to make us despise the Nazis. He trusts his audience to know who the bad guys are and allows himself to present them as corrupt, but recognizable, human beings. He even allows his strange hero, Schindler, a large measure of ambiguity, though I'd never imagined this was a word in the Spielberg family dictionary.
As breezily played by Neeson, Schindler has come to Krakow to profit and party. Strictly amoral, he takes no personal responsiblity for the war, or for the early mistreatment of the Jews. Even though he has joined the Nazi party, he is not an anti-Semite. He's just looking for a way to grease the wheels for his business plans, and in fact has figured out a way to both exploit and help the Jews. He gets them protected work in his enamel factory and, best of all, only has to pay them in pots and pans. The cash he keeps for himself.
Spielberg himself is so unsentimental about these matters that he has sharp, pointed scenes of Jewish leaders trying to negotiate a better deal with Schindler. Despite the horrors that are about to occur, these encounters are about hard-nosed business dealings, and the men involved are businessmen, not prospective martyrs.
Spielberg stays clear of his story's horror for quite a long time. As we follow Schindler's adventures with his mistresses, his business dealings and his parties with the Nazis, the film maintains a bemused, that Schindler is some guy tone, and even gives us a couple of laughs. What's going on here? I wondered. Has Steven Spielberg produced a dark comedy about the Holocaust?
So when the first murder comes in a swift, casual gunshot to the head of someone who simply happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, its cold-bloodedness comes as a jolt rather than a given. At this point I had to acknowledge that Spielberg had done the nearly impossible; he'd made the Holocaust into news. News that stays news, as the man once said.
This may sound like a goal that's worthy but not very enjoyable, but as the story plunges quickly and deeply into its chamber of horrors, Spielberg keeps a surprising and esthetically effective distance. It helps, no doubt, that his point-of-view character is looking on as the Nazis move all the area Jews into a small section of Krakow, then attack in the night to either kill Jews or ship them to a concentration camp. Like Schindler, we watch from a distance. Unlike him, we have to respond to the weird beauty of the filmmaking. The black-and-white effect is almost hypnotic here as we see bursts of gunfire inside the windows of the darkened houses, and as we follow the Jews who want to stay behind as they try to burrow deeper into the darkness, inside a piano, under a bed, into a closet.

In the United States, we generally live in conditions that are relatively clean and sanitary. Compared to some countries in the world, we live a very cleanly and privileged life. We enjoy everything from clean gutters and sidewalks to parks and public facilities, which are generally free of trash and relatively clean. While there are many different systems in place to help with trash, the responsibility for trash starts with the homeowner and business owner. If you have trash that needs to be taken care of in your business or home, contact your local Indianapolis trash service company to get it cleaned up today.
While there are many public services in place to deal with the trash generated on a daily basis, there are special circumstances in which you may want to use a professional hauling company to handle other trash. One of the things you may want to use a professional hauling company for is old construction debris or landscaping components that may be laying around on your property. A professional trash hauling company can take care of such junk piles in a hurry, and may cost less than you expect.
Another reason that you might want to use trash hauling services, is to help you control the trash of a remodeling project at your home or office. Whenever you have a remodeling project going on, there is a lot of trash generated through the demolition and reconstruction of the project. Many trash hauling companies offer roll-off dumpsters to leave on your job site or at your home during a remodel project. This is important because it allows your crew to deposit junk and waste from the project immediately, instead of piling it somewhere on the property. If you have construction debris lying around your job site, it can be hazard and cause accidents. You may be liable for the accidents that occur on your property, so keeping a dumpster around can help prevent accidents from occurring.
You might want to hire a professional trash hauling company if you have toxic or hazardous waste that needs to be disposed of properly. Hazardous waste can be difficult to take care of properly if you do not understand how to handle it, and how to dispose of it correctly. Because trash hauling companies deal with trash every day, they have the experience to take care of your hazardous waste safely, efficiently, and economically.
Professional trash hauling companies can also help you if you have a natural disaster, or an accident in your home or office. Recovering from a natural disaster can be a very frustrating and difficult experience. Using a professional trash-hauling company to get rid of debris or items that have been damaged in a disaster is very helpful. They are often able to come to your home or business and take care of a large amount of debris in a short amount of time.
Trash hauling companies are often more affordable than you might imagine. If you were to haul trash and debris from your own home, you will have many different expenses. When you add up the cost of renting a truck, insurance and mileage fees, fuel costs, and dump access fees, it may be much cheaper to hire an Indianapolis trash service to take care of your mess.
New Orleans is one of the most famous cities in the country, rich in history and beauty. Many tourists travel from afar to experience the New Orleans culture and scenes. Those who visit New Orleans should never leave without going out and experiencing the food, drink, and entertainment part of the New Orleans experience, as those are a huge part of the culture. Many parts of New Orleans are easy on the eyes, and are even locations where many celebrities regularly set foot and movie scenes are shot. New Orleans city tours are designed to cover all of the greatest areas that all tourists should visit.
When you enter into a location that you have never visited before, your senses get excited. The new sounds, sights, and smells are intriguing. There is so much to do and so much to see that you may not get to experience everywhere else. One of the beauties about being human is our need for discovery and experience. It's one of the things that make us feel alive and fulfilled. We are constantly reaching and searching to learn, whether it is in education, at work, watching a story unfold on a television screen, or visiting a place we have never gone before.
One problem that travelers often run into is arriving to a city and then feeling stumped. Where do you start? There is so much to do and there are so many places to go, but experiencing the city is more easily said than done. In a city like New Orleans, to try and experience everything that tourists should experience on your own is very unlikely. Take it from those who are from the New Orleans area: nobody knows New Orleans like the insiders, who are a part of the city themselves.
That is exactly who those who host city tours around New Orleans are: Insiders. Who is better fit to host a tour of the city than people who are pieces of the city themselves? They will be able to guide you through the most astonishing views and experiences in the area, giving mounds of background information and showing that passion about their city that they have as a resident.
New Orleans city tours are not taken lightly, like a little trolley ride around the city when you are not sure what else to do. A real city tour company will give you the experience you traveled so far to get. A tour of the city may be your key in gaining that satisfaction from your trip that you have been wanting and anticipating.
Adding mulch to a yard is a great way to enhance your yard's curb appeal. It helps the soil to hold moisture, and it can do a great job as a natural weed controller. If you do not like dealing with soil erosion, mulching is a great selection. However, the costs of buying individual bags of mulch can be expensive. Most homeowners find themselves replacing their mulch each year as it can fade over time. This is why it is so important to consider buying bulk mulch in Austin as it can easily save you a lot of money.
It is important to consider the different types of mulch. While grass clippings and leaves can fall into this category, most people consider mulch to be some type of shredded bark or wood chip substance. You can purchase mulch made from rubber materials for safety reasons. This is often found on many playgrounds as it does provide a softer ground for children if they fall. Shredded bark and wood chips often come in a variety of colors and sizes. When selecting mulch, always consider what you want it to look like. Some people like the look of red cedar where others may prefer a dark brown mulch. Mulch will provide a neat finish to your yard, while also providing nutrients to the soil.
Mulch is usually sold in bags, or in bulk. You need to have the dimensions ready when you are purchasing mulch. The amount of mulch you will need depends on the area in which you are covering. Use the simple cubic foot formula to calculate the amount of mulch needed (length x width x height). Some people prefer a thin layer of mulch, where others may want to have at least twelve inches of mulch. Landscaping experts can help you calculate the amount of mulch needed based on the length and width dimensions.
If you choose a wood mulch, find out how you need to care for it. Certain types of mulch (cocoa hull mulch) can actually be toxic to animals. Make sure you are selecting a mulch that will not interfere with your animals or lifestyle. You should spray your mulch with pesticide killer to make sure ants and other pests do not build nests in the mulch. Buying bulk mulch in Austin will save you money, and a lot of trips to and from the home improvement store!

2005 OPEN FORUM Abstracts
Ted Bond RRT, Steve Abplanalp BS RRT, Terry Clemmer MD, Vrena Flint MBA RRT, Loren Greenway PHD RRT, Jim Hamilton RRT, John Holmen PHD, Tupper Kinder BS, Vicki Spuhler MSN. Intermountain Health Care (IHC) Hospitals, Salt Lake City, UT, USA
Background: Ventilator Acquired Pneumonia (VAP) was a concern for us as healthcare professionals. Reducing ventilators days by twenty five percent was a Board Goal. We wanted a system to measure the compliance of our ventilator bundle components that could be used across multiple facilities. The measurement process would enable us to track compliance, communicate with the team, get the patient back into compliance, and thus prevent VAP and reduce ventilator days.
Protocol Evaluation:
Method one: Patient Paper Documentation Method one was a paper process in which data was gathered twice per week. The Registered Nurse (RN) collected data to determine compliance of the ventilator bundle protocol. If the patient was out of compliance, the RN communicated with the team to assure patient compliance.Method two: Patient Documentation Computerized ProtocolMethod two was a computerized process in which the Respiratory Care Practitioner (RCP) chartsthe ventilator bundle compliance with each ventilator/patient assessment (approximately every twohours.)RCP responds to computer questions that are asked with each ventilator/patient assessment:
§ Is the patients Head of Bed (HOB) > 30 degrees?
§ Is the patient on a sequential compression device?
§ Did the patient have a sedation vacation since the last ventilator/patient assessment?Measured Outcomes: With method two, a ventilator bundle compliance report can be acquired on any patient, any unit, at any of the ten computerized hospitals across the IHC system at any time. Also, data reports can be acquired monthly for VAP and ventilator days. These reports enable us to monitor the outcomes. Results: With the ventilator bundle tracking system, the VAP rate in the IHC system reduced thirty percent in the first quarter and the ventilator days reduced by twenty five percent.
Conclusion: The data suggests that using the ventilator bundle documentation with the ventilator/patient assessment surpasses the other methods. The multidisciplinary involvement of Physicians, RCPs, RNs, and Information Systems was key to our success. We believe we can continue to decrease ventilator days by continuing to measure the compliance with the ventilator bundle protocol and a high level of confidence that we are doing what we can to prevent VAP.

Daily Blitz: Eli searches for the "right style"Posted by on November 13, 2012 – 9:00 am
Despite the two-game skid, despite the lull in the offense, despite having teams like Green Bay, New Orleans, Atlanta and Baltimore on the other side of the bye week, this is when the quarterback feels he and his team have a great opportunity to prove themselves.
"That's what you want to get excited about," Eli Manning told Mike Francesa on Monday during his weekly report on WFAN. "You want to get excited about, hey, where do we stand in this league, in the NFL, and you want to play these good teams and see if we can go out there and win some big games. That's when you get excited. You play a good team and you earn that win, you get excited about those. We're going to look forward to that."
The 6-3 Packers, winners of four straight, are the first on the slate after the bye. Until then, the Giants will try to recapture that winning style.
"I feel very confident about this team," Manning continued. "I think we've got great character guys, guys who have great passion for football and their commitment to their craft and getting better and they want to have a big year. They want to have a great season. We want to make the playoffs, and whatever it takes we're going to commit to it and we're going to find it.
"Hey, we're searching for that right style, for that right way for us to win football games. And we're going to keep grinding away until we find it."

I love this guy. Thank God Eli never ever listens to the noise. Instead, he always looks ahead and is almost manically focused on his team. A rare man. True leader.

I am not impressed by "big games" although athletes often are. As a non-professional athlete, I treasure what most coaches (I believe) value and that is consistency. Win the next game, try to make sure there is a next game and, if there is a "final" game, then win it, seems the dogged approach. Of course, lacking competitive football talent, my opinion has no experience behind it, in expecting such performances, but I cannot help but feel that "big games" is a bastardization of the above concept.

Ok, seriously, TEBOW!!! That is the furthest thing from the truth. The only place you will hear such rumors is in a 3rd grade recess session. We have not, and will not, even entertain such an idea. Manning has been a solid QB and leader. To bring in TEBOW would be a waste, and a repeat of the mistake the JETS have done. The TEBOW comment was probably made by someone who watches more TMZ than football.

MADRE Partners Testify on Progress towards the Millennium Development Goals
Posted on: Wednesday, June 16, 2010
Keywords: UN, MDG, Indigenous Rights, Economic Justice, Environmental Justice
Yesterday was the last day of a two-day series of "informal interactive hearings" of the UN General Assembly in anticipation of the September summit on the progress of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The MDGs were set in September 2000 as targets for UN member states and development institutions to reach by the year 2015 addressing issues from maternal health to eradicating poverty. These hearings are a chance for non-governmental and civil society organizations to present on the work they are doing to reach the MDGs "highlighting best practices and lessons learnt". It is also an opportunity to make recommendations to governments on how to move forward on the implementation of the MDGs for 2015.
The president of the General Assembly established a task force of 13 representatives from civil society to advise him on the content and participants of these hearings. Beginning in late March, the task force narrowed over 760 speaker nominations to a participant list of 52 speakers. Of those, four are longtime MADRE allies.
These hearings are an effort to facilitate discussion in order to galvanize further work towards the MDGs. The idea behind the cross-cutting themes of the hearings is to demonstrate the interconnected nature of the MDGs. The hearings allow civil society to provide concrete evidence of their work to achieve the MDGs.
MADRE partners and allies are represented in three of the four sessions:
Tarcila Rivera Zea, of Peru, spoke at the hearings as a respondent on the work of the Foro Internacional de Mujeres Indígenas (International Indigenous Women's Forum (FIMI/IIWF), a MADRE sister organization, addressing the issue of: Sustaining development and withstanding crises. She argued that Indigenous Peoples must be included in the evaluation of progress towards achieving the MDGs.
Sizani Ngubane, of South Africa spoke during the same session on the work of the Rural Women's Movement (RWM), also a MADRE sister organization. She noted that the achievement of Goals 1-6 depends on explicitly addressing the basic security of socially marginalized people.
MADRE ally, Charlotte Bunch of WEDO spoke addressed the topic: Building a better tomorrow: local actions, national strategies and global structures. Speaking on behalf of the GEAR Coalition, she suggested that a UN entity for the advancement of women's rights be established before the September summit, remembering the importance of the gender component of the MDGs.
Addressing the topic of Equal and inclusive partnerships: Accountability in the fight against poverty, Martha Sanchez Nestor spoke on the work of Alianza de Mujeres Indigenas de Centroamerica y Mexico. She argued that the situation of Indigenous women must be considered in order to achieve the goals of the MDGs.
