Contracting Model, Portfolio Pricing & Organizational Culture Lead Consorta to HealthTrust Purchasing GroupJune 1, 2007
Consorta Inc.'s decision to join HealthTrust Purchasing Group culminated a rigorous two-year effort to find better ways to reduce supply chain costs for the group purchasing organization's faith-based and nonprofit health systems. John W. Strong, who led the strategic move as Consorta's president and CEO, says an independent third party's scrutiny of 600 items in key market categories, combined with a detailed study of HealthTrust's entire contract portfolio, convinced his board and membership that the union will be meaningful to their bottom lines. "When all is said and done and the dust settles on this, we think that the savings will be double-digit for our members," Strong says. "That's over and above what we were doing, and we thought we had pricing that was every bit as good as any other major group purchasing organization in the country."
Getting to the Heart of QualityJuly 7, 2007
Getting to the Heart of Quality A Mississippi Hospital makes key changes in practice to improve cardiac care and sees a drop in mortality rates. Getting physicians and surgeons to change their entrenched practice patterns is one of the hardest journeys a hospital can face, but it's often vital to making patient care better. Actionable information, physician-to-physician engagement and a clinically credible and experienced third party can remove many rocks from the road. St. Dominic-Jackson Memorial Hospital in Jackson, MS has dramatically improved its cardiovascular care program by developing a collaborative multidisciplinary approach targeted at the highest risk patients. Though the approach is straightforward, getting physicians to accept that their current approach could improve, and then change the way they approached this risky population, was anything but. With the aid of HealthGrades Clinical Excellence Research and Consulting group, St. Dominic's was able to translate opportunities identified from multiple data sets, chart review and physicians into deliberate and focused process improvement. The 571-bed hospital's wake-up call was a report from HealthGrades, which is nationally known for analyzing Medicare outcomes data and other publicly available information. St. Dominic's 2004 mortality rates for several cardiac care areas, including bypass procedures, valve replacements and treatment of heart attacks, were worse than they should have been. Everyone-the administration, the board, and the medical staff-agreed that something had to be done.
Recognizing Hospitals with the Highest-Quality CareJuly 7, 2007
Balancing Quality and Efficiency Effecting substantive improvement in the quality of care that a hospital provides requires anapproach that involves both clinical outcomes and the efficiency of the processes involved in delivering that care. The winners of the 2007 Premier Award for Quality exemplify an organizational commitment to this important balance.
Patient Satisfaction and Public AccountabilityAugust 17, 2007
PATIENT SATISFACTION AND PUBLIC ACCOUNTABILITY North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo reinvents its cafeteria menu at least monthly. Its breast care center, located in a separate building so that patients don't have to go into the main hospital for their mammograms, has the calming atmosphere of a Zen garden. Candidates for new hips and knees attend "Joint Camp"-they are admitted to the hospital in groups of ten to twenty and receive presurgery education and sometimes even post-op physical therapy together. As a result, they have support not only from clinicians and their families, but from peers who know exactly what they are going through.
Optimal Patient FlowOctober 19, 2007
Optimal Patient Flow Making sure patients move through the hospital in a timely, efficient manner can make the difference between filled beds and empty ones, happy nurses and harried ones, profitable stays and unprofitable ones,satisfied patients and angry ones. We talked with four executives who are joining technology with process improvement to transform patient flow.
O.R. Clinician Crunch Eases with Information TechnologyOctober 19, 2007
O.R. Clinician Crunch Eases with Information Technology >>> Hospital administrators who think they have problems filling staff vacancies should consider the Ochsner Health System in New Orleans, whose work force still hasn't recovered from Hurricane Katrina in 2005. "Staffing since Katrina has been a challenge," says Judith Landry, unit director of surgery at the system's flagship, 473-bed Ochsner Medical Center. "We're still not fully staffed, and staffing seems to be very fluid, not just here but within the city." Ochsner Medical Center was one of just three New Orleans hospitals that remained open throughout the crisis, so it attracted nurses and technicians from other institutions who were suddenly unemployed. Now that their home institutions are reopening, many are returning to their former positions. Some hospitals are offering a wage premium of up to four extra dollars an hour, or signing bonuses of $12,000, to lure them back, Landry says.
Inside OutsourcingNovember 1, 2007
Providers find rock-solid solutions to their staffing, revenue cycle management, and IT challenges. For some, the term "outsourcing" conjures up images of a pink slip waiting on their desk on a Friday morning. For others, it is a fountain of relief in the midst of a dry spell that is the qualified labor market. One thing we can all agree upon is that outsourcing is a critical component of the healthcare delivery system, supplying personnel, technology resources, and operational best practices to major hospital or health system departments, including information technology (IT), finance, and human resources. And its popularity in healthcare-though effected by industry ebbs and flows-will only increase over time as providers look to create operational efficiencies and focus on their core mission of quality healthcare delivery.
2007 HealthLeaders Annual CEO SurveyNovember 1, 2007
A high-altitude look at our annual survey of hospital and medical group chief executive officers shows a group of leaders who are generally happy about their jobs with no immediate plans to retire. But before they do eventually bow out, they have some money to spend.
Revenue Cycle ManagementApril 3, 2007
"Real news is bad news, " said famous communications theorist Marshall McLuhan. Here's the real news: Costs to deliver healthcare continue to spiral upward (albeit at a slower pace than during the late 1990s and early 2000s) as increases in labor, real estate, supplies and equipment outpace provider revenue growth.

Copyright 2014 by Paula S. Jordan
When Ursula Le Guin revisited Earthsea some years after her completion of Tehanu, as she explains in her Foreword to Tales from Earthsea:
A mere glimpse at the place told me that things had been happening while I wasn't looking. It was high time to go back find out what was going on now … [and also about] … things that had happened back then, before Ged and Tenar were born. A good deal about Earthsea, about wizards, about Roke Island, about dragons, had begun to puzzle me ….
And so, as she put it, she went back, "to spend some time in the Archives of the Archipelago." The five luminous stories that resulted shed a few bright rays on the people and the forces that unmade and remade and reoriented the world of Earthsea during the 300 years before Ged. They are told in that quiet Le Guin voice that contains the raging of the storm. The calm that is the storm
"The Finder," recounts the time after "Elfarran and Morred perished and the Isle of Soléa sank beneath the sea," after further depredations from warlords and self-serving mages and wild dragons out of the west, after Erreth-Akbe's Ring of Runes was broken. In that dark time the safest and most reliable magic rested with the "Women of the Hand," long forgotten in Ged's time, and with a Finder named Otter, a man who, with the women of the heavily-warded enclave on Roke, began to build the future.
"The Bones of the Earth" gives insight into the selfless strength and generosity of the true mage, and of the sorcerers who would teach the sorcerer who would teach Ged.
"Darkrose and Diamond" tells of the love between two gifted people and the trials they face in times when such gifts were both coveted and suspect.
"On the High Marsh," from the "brief but eventful six years" when Ged was Archmage of Earthsea, tells the story of a child whose great powers were so harshly misunderstood and repressed that even on Roke he could not be mended, and of the one who went alone and on foot to find him in yet another place of ignorance to which he had run.
The final story, "Dragonfly," occurring a few years after the end of Tehanu, introduces a powerful new character and provides a bridge, "a dragon bridge" as Le Guin says, between that book and the next one, the masterful novel The Other Wind.
Tales concludes with a 23-page "Description of Earthsea," filled with details and explanations for much of the world of Le Guin's creation. Close readers of her stories will revel in this. And for writers aspiring to Le Guin-quality fantasy, there are riches to be found in the Foreword: about "the way one does research into nonexistent history," and the importance of stories that "have weight and make sense." You'll want to read it. Over and over again.
The Other Wind reaches back, nearly to the dawn of history, to identify and address the greatest wrong ever done by the mages of Earthsea. This ancient miscalculation, a colossal failure of magic, comes to light through the heartbreak of a sorcerer named Alder, whose young wife calls to him from across the low wall between the living world and the realm the dead. What can be done to mend this vast error and make right the harm it has caused? And who has the power for the task? Tenar, Tehanu, the young king Arren, the former Archmage Ged, and Irian, a dragon who can take the shape of a woman, gather in the Immanent Grove on Roke, to try.
It was in reading the Tales From Earthsea this past week that I felt the whole of this long, patient story wash over me, the slow gathering together of whose parts Le Guin has pursued over these thirty-one years. It is a simple story, seen whole: a world of sometimes rough, sometimes marvelous beauty, populated by a people of rich imagination and great but often flawed intention, who insist on the superiority of their own limited vision over the deep-rooted wisdom and power of the natural world around them.
So, is there more of Earthsea's story yet to come?
Le Guin tells us in the new Afterword provided in the 2012 edition of The Other Wind that, so far as she knows, "the story that [she] had to tell ends here." And yet, she says, she knows what Tehanu will do, and where Ged will go now.
For this series of posts there is definitely more: the science fiction of Ursula K. Le Guin. The Dispossessed, which many consider her masterwork, and my favorite, The Left Hand of Darkness, and Always Coming Home. And more? We shall see.

Bridge Bites: The Anti-Bath Coup
Date: August 22, 2012
by: Brian Gunnell | American Contract Bridge League
West leads the King, and Declarer craftily ducks. Now, if West continues, he gives Declarer a second trick in the suit. The rule for East here, when holding Jxx, is to encourage with his higher spot card, hopefully that agreement will save West from the ignominy of the Bath Coup.
However, in the diagram above, Declarer pulled off what has been termed as the "Anti-Bath Coup." Against 3NT, West led the ♥K and Declarer could have ducked this trick in order to lure West into a Bath Coup. But Declarer could see that a Diamond shift might be fatal, so in order to muddy the waters he played the ♥J on the first trick! Our (gullible) West assumed that Declarer had started with ♥AJ doubleton and continued Hearts, won by Declarer's Ace. The Club finesse was lost, but East was out of Hearts and Declarer had 9 tricks. Of course, a Diamond shift at Trick 2 beats the contract, but Declarer's clever false card diverted West from the winning play.
Yes, West erred grievously! After that first Heart trick (King, Five, Three, Jack), he should have smelled a rat. Where was the Two? East would not play the Three from 732, instead he would play his lowest card saying, "I don't have the Jack!" So, an alert West (and one who trusted his Partner to signal correctly) could have figured out that Declarer had false-carded. But, in the heat of battle, such clues can be missed!

There is something wrong massage convey to the candidate who appear the examination of ADO 2013 on 2nd & 3rd Feb'13. Why the result is not published in the web side. It is very much suspicious. Candidate can challenge through RTI if dis-satisfied about result. It is my suggestion as a well wisher.
ur ryt bro we must write to RTI as i che kd my ans ryt . i was getting 75%
corrupted system for selection of employee. Bogus...
why the examination have not conducted by SSC or UPSC. Govt. should look after the matter. It is a public demand. Result should be declared on web side.Now IBPS declared their marks also. Railway declared their result at news paper also.why not they published at web side or news paper. This is very much irregularities, suspicious.
yes there is something wrong in selection of exam,bcoz i was sure that i can get 80%,its not possible that the cut off will 100 or 90%.guys we must have to do some thing,nahi to ye hamere sath dubara ho sakta hai,at least we must know our marks... lets b united n take a step against it...

A Big Year for Deals Turns Huge
Updated from 3:35 p.m. EST
With a $54 billion hostile bid by Comcast (CMSA) for Disney (DIS) now on the table, 2004 is shaping up to be the biggest year for mergers and acquisitions since the peak of the Internet bubble.
The bounty was being felt in brokerage shares, which were almost uniformly higher Wednesday.
So far in 2004, proposed buyouts are valued at $165 billion, the second-highest level on record this early in a year, according to Thomson Financial. The amount was greater only in 2000, when it totaled $314 billion by Feb. 11. Even in the first six weeks of 1999, deals were valued at just $159 billion.After a few of years of cutting costs, businesses have gained the confidence to look outward. "Low interest rates, higher equity prices, hefty cash levels and the expectation of better corporate profits are the ingredients for increased M&A activity," said Richard Peterson, an analyst at Thomson Financial. While the recent deal flurry is reminiscent of the blizzard in 2000, there are reasons to believe it's different this time around. For one thing, the companies involved have been profitable or shown revenue growth. In its latest quarter, cable operator Comcast earned $383 million, or 17 cents a share, compared with a loss of $51 million, or 3 cents, a year ago. Analysts were expecting 3 cents, according to First Call. Disney had quarterly net income of $688 million, or 33 cents a share, vs. $36 million, or 2 cents, in the year-ago period. The consensus called for 23 cents, based on First Call estimates. "In the bubble, small companies with highflying share prices, such as AOL, tried to take advantage of that," said Ken Marlin, president of Marlin & Associates, an investment bank focused on media and technology. "The strategy was to create a high-growth Internet stock. It was a flawed assumption."

On Facebook, he describes himself as a "wounded warrior...very wounded."
Brendan Marrocco was the first soldier to survive losing all four limbs in the Iraq War, and doctors revealed Monday that he's received a double-arm transplant.
Those new arms "already move a little," he tweeted a month after the operation.
Marrocco, a 26-year-old New Yorker, was injured by a roadside bomb in 2009. He had the transplant Dec. 18 at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, his father said Monday.
Alex Marrocco said his son does not want to talk with reporters until a news conference Tuesday at the hospital, but the younger Marrocco has repeatedly mentioned the transplant on Twitter and posted photos.
"Ohh yeah today has been one month since my surgery and they already move a little," Brendan Marrocco tweeted Jan. 18.
Responding to a tweet from NASCAR driver Brad Keselowski, he wrote: "dude I can't tell you how exciting this is for me. I feel like I finally get to start over."
The infantryman also received bone marrow from the same dead donor who supplied his new arms. That novel approach is aimed at helping his body accept the new limbs with minimal medication to prevent rejection.
The military sponsors operations like these to help wounded troops. About 300 have lost arms or hands in Iraq or Afghanistan.
Unlike a life-saving heart or liver transplant, limb transplants are aimed at improving quality of life, not extending it. Quality of life is a key concern for people missing arms and hands — prosthetics for those limbs are not as advanced as those for feet and legs.
"He was the first quad amputee to survive," and there have been four others since then, Alex Marrocco said.
The Marroccos want to thank the donor's family for "making a selfless decision ... making a difference in Brendan's life," the father said.
Brendan Marrocco has been in public many times. During a July 4 visit last year to the Sept. 11 Memorial with other disabled soldiers, he said he had no regrets about his military service.
"I wouldn't change it in any way. ... I feel great. I'm still the same person," he said.
The 13-hour operation was led by Dr. W.P. Andrew Lee, plastic surgery chief at Johns Hopkins. It was the seventh double-hand or double-arm transplant done in the United States.
Lee led three of those earlier operations when he worked at the University of Pittsburgh, including the only above-elbow transplant that had been done at the time, in 2010.
Marrocco's "was the most complicated one" so far, Lee said in an interview Monday. It will take more than a year to know how fully Marrocco will be able to use the new arms.
"The maximum speed is an inch a month for nerve regeneration," he explained. "We're easily looking at a couple years" until the full extent of recovery is known.
While at Pittsburgh, Lee pioneered the immune-suppression approach used for Marrocco. The surgeon led hand-transplant operations on five patients, giving them marrow from their donors in addition to the new limbs. All five recipients have done well, and four have been able to take just one anti-rejection drug instead of combination treatments most transplant patients receive.
Minimizing anti-rejection drugs is important because they have side effects and raise the risk of cancer over the long term. Those risks have limited the willingness of surgeons and patients to do more hand, arm and even face transplants.
Lee has received funding for his work from AFIRM, the Armed Forces Institute of Regenerative Medicine, a cooperative research network of top hospitals and universities around the country that the government formed about five years ago. With government money, he and several other plastic surgeons around the country are preparing to do more face transplants, possibly using the new immune-suppression approach.
Marrocco expects to spend three to four months at Hopkins, then return to a military hospital to continue physical therapy, his father said. Before the operation, he had been fitted with prosthetic legs and had learned to walk on his own.
He had been living with his older brother in a specially equipped home on New York's Staten Island that had been built with the help of several charities. Shortly after moving in, he said it was "a relief to not have to rely on other people so much."
The home was heavily damaged by Superstorm Sandy last fall.
Despite being in a lot of pain for some time after the operation, Marrocco showed a sense of humor, his father said. He had a hoarse voice from the tube that was in his throat during the long surgery and decided he sounded like Al Pacino. He soon started doing movie lines.
"He was making the nurses laugh," Alex Marrocco said.

|I am painting leather with acrylic paints and the Americana Duraclear gloss varnish has yellowed over the paint. The container says it's non-yellowing. This hasn't happened before when I've used it over acrylic paint on leather. Any recommendations for a good varnish for this type of thing? Thank you.
Follow-Up Postings:
|My first question would be how old is the varnish? My 2nd would be what color was the leather you put it on? It may have absorbed some color from that.
Before good fabric paints came along I would mix my multi-purpose varnish into my paint to eliminate the need to varnish afterwards. Multi-Purpose Sealers are adhesive and durable and they seal most hard craft surfaces for indoor or outdoor use. They can even be mixed with paints to eliminate the need to varnish outdoor surfaces.
I have used Flecto Varathane Diamond Satin finish for many years with great success (now owned and sold by Rustoleum).
More info.....
These days I prefer to use a paint that's made for the surface so I don't have to deal with a finish. I absolutely love Tulip's So-Soft Fabric paint. It air cures and you don't need to seal or heat set it.
|Thank you for your insight. The varnish is new. I got to thinking and I think my brush may have gotten mixed up with one I had used with paint. That would explain why this hasn't occured before. I think I will try mixing the varnish with the paint like you mentioned. Thanks again!
|I am curious to know what you are painting. :-)

My career goals (and how I keep track of them)
People ask me how I keep track of time and make sure I'm going in a good direction while navigating through the hot mess that is life. My secret is pretty simple: I write lists. Since 2009, I've been keeping bulleted lists of what I consider to be important goals. These lists are split into months and separated by years. Each year, I look back at the previous years and see what I've accomplished. Some things, like a few cosplay ideas, are still not crossed-out. Some things, like going to France and speaking at conferences I agreed to, are. These annual lists help me to keep track of time, prioritize goals, and stay focused while also enjoying my life. Lists… Read More

Drifter doesn't belong to me, but I am leasing him this summer so he's half my own horse! I met his owner through 4-H, and when I started looking for a horse to lease this summer that I could take to our local county fair, his owner said I could come and try Drifter out, since she'd be taking him to the fair anyway. I absolutely fell in love with Drifter's wonderful, people-loving personality. Now he's 'my' horse for the summer! I'm so excited! We just began our lease in the middle of March so I'm still getting to know him and will post more about him later!.

The old question - which resort?
Hi, my first post, so I apologise if I am not in the right spot! We are a family of 4 from Adelaide, 2 adlts, son 14 and daughter 7 and we are travelling to Orlando in late June 2013.
I have read so many conflicting reviews/opinions etc on the various resorts that I am completely lost as to where to stay, and whether we should include a meal plan etc.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated - BTW our budget is moderate, but not budget.
Thanks in advance
There are some rooms at Port Orleans Riverside that sleep 5-- they have a trundle or a murphy bed. Your daughter and son could have separate beds. http://allears.net/acc/faq_dxl.htm
I've never stayed there, but friends adored it!
We love the meal plan; we didn't have it last summer and I really missed it.
US Here We Come, welcome to the ANZAC DISBOARDS. You will get lots of great advice. I am off to WDW to conquer my third castle in September so cant help much with the accomm advice. The poster above raised a good point about Riverside. I am staying at French Quarter.
Keep checking in. Most people are at work but they will start finding there way here not long afterwards.
I've never stayed onsite but if I did I would love to try Old Key West.
We are staying at a WorldMark resort this year when we go as we are timeshare owners. After our DCL cruise we will be spending a couple of nights at Royal Pacific Resort for the Universal Studios component of our trip.
I think it depends on if you like to have space to move, if your kids would be happy sharing a bed, if you like a kitchen, more than one bathroom etc. I'd say make up a list of things you must have and work from there.
We are staying at Port Orleans Riverside in September. I have researched this thoroughly and had friends stay there in November and thought it was fantastic.
We stayed at Beach Club (deluxe) in 2011 which we loved, this trip we are adding New York so had to look at a Moderate to keep within budget.
Thanks everyone for your fabulous advice.
Tapdancer, we are also heading to New York straight after Orlando - still trying to figure out that accommodation too!
Welcome to the Australian side Aliceacc. Love your avatar Lumpy is my daughters favourite Disney character. She is so devastated that there is no merchandise anymore. She had more luck on a trip we took to Europe. We came home with five more Lumpy's. Her Lumpy travels with us always and she is almost 11. You have me pondering Riverside instead of POFQ for the extra bed but I think my girls will be too big for it and so that we will just have to share a bed. They are Disneyworld. They should just get over it.
The first decision is onsite vs offsite. Going by your dining plan remark, I'm guessing that you're tending towards onsite. My only suggestion is to avoid the Caribbean resort where the beds are smaller than the other moderates.
Firstly, I feel your pain! Trying to decide between so many great choices is difficult. I think it will come down to your preferences eg theming of hotel, type of pool, size of resort, size of hotel room, food options, transportation etc. Instead of just telling you which I think is the best resort, I thought I would take you through our process of elimination in a hope it would give you some clarity on developing your own criteria.
Disney don't do budget, they do value :) Everything Disney do is quality otherwise they wouldn't put their name to it. There are 5 value resorts. On our first family visit we opted for a Value resort. At the time, we excluded AOA because it was still being built and the 3 All Star resorts for the following 2 reasons.
1. They share buses to the resorts. This may result in longer waits.
2. Reviews indicated large school groups frequent these resorts. Not so great if you're wanting a quieter environment.
Therefore, we chose Pop Century. We loved it! The theming around the resort was brilliant and the transportation system (bus) was great. No complaints here.
Our second visit we decided to opt for a moderate. Of the 5 moderate resorts we excluded:
FW Cabins - we are sooo not the outdoorsy type!
Caribbean - theming didn't really appeal.
Coronado - no real reason, just preferred others.
It came down to the 2 Port Orleans resorts. What won us over were the shared facilities which gave us more dining options and multiple pools, plus having the boat option to DTD. All this and only a quick 10 minutes apart!
Deciding between the 2 was difficult as both had advantages over the other.
Riverside: Bigger and healthier quick service area, pool better suited to my DD, TS restaurant and the Murphy beds (which would easily be big enough for your DD).
French Quarter: Smaller resort which was quieter, one centrally located bus stop.
For the past 2 years, coming up for 3 :cheer2: we have opted for POFQ. Whilst we would swim and eat more QS meals at POR than POFQ, our decision was based purely and simply on the transportation. POR has multiple stops and it can sometimes take 20 minutes just before you get out of the resort. For our family that's time better spent in the parks not getting to them :woohoo:
With regards to the Dining Plan we are all for it. Many people have crunched the numbers and will tell you that it does and doesn't represent value. It will all depend on your family's eating habits. For us, DH loves knowing that by the time we get to WDW it's all done and paid for except for the tips (oh, and my shopping :rotfl2:)
These are of course just more opinions but they are what works for our family :love: Hopefully I've given you some ideas about things you may want to consider for your family.
All the best working through it and keep us posted on your decision popcorn::
I've never stayed moderate, although have seen the foyers (very nice!), only Pop so can't help you but just wanted to say Welcome and have fun holiday planning!!! :cool1:
I thought doing New York first would be better as it will be fast paced, then we can relax a bit in Orlando being our 2nd time there we can take it a bit easier, well that's the plan.
Offsite/onsite, dining plan/Out of pocket (OOP), car hire/disney transport....only you and your family can work out which is best for you. There really isn't a wrong decision.
Everyone will have their preferences and opinions; and it is great to seek the information.
It will come down to the type of holiday you want to experience and your budget.
My only comment is that late June is hot in Orlando. Whichever resort you pick, make sure you like the look of the pool (and amenities). You might be wanting to come back in the afternoon to spend time there.
For what it's worth, I was able to find both a stuffed Lumpy and a Christmas ornament on our trips. I want to say DTD, but I'm sorry I have no idea where.
The extra bed thing has never worked for us either; my only son is a good 4 inches taller than I am and would never fit into those smaller beds. So we just save for a longer time, pray for a deal, and go Deluxe.
Oh, and you guys will love NY. Be prepared for temperatures that be kind of ugly... "hot, hazy and humid" are the bywords of NY in summer.
Mastectomy is not fun.....glad you're now on this side of the heffalump! :hug:
We stayed at POR when it was Dixie Landings back in 1997 and loved it. Then in 2011 we booked POR again, but got free dining - so we upgraded to the Wilderness Lodge. It was gorgeous, and I'll never forget walking into that amazing lobby for the first time - but when I look back I don't know if it was worth it to upgrade. :confused3
WL has the boat to the MK, but POR has the boat to Downtown Disney, the quick service food area at POR is amazing and the WL was quite a lot smaller - SO - this time we have booked to go back to POR and there will be no changing!!
We are really excited to take the kids back to POR and I am looking forward to doing the washing while sitting by the pool with a cocktail!! :laughing:
Even after my rambling - I agree with everybody - I don't think that you could find a resort in WDW that wasn't lovely and filled with things that make you happy - it's Disney World!!! :cool1:

how are you connected to the network? Is the firewall on?
I'm using Windows 7 RC1 x64. I really like most of it, and a big change from running vista with a nearly full HDD (I upped the RAM to 3gb and HDD to 500GB before installing).
Anyway, the only real problem I have is trying to browse network shares. Specifically ones on our Windows Storage Server 2003r2 NAS server. Its also really slow on RDP as well. I don't have problems connecting to other servers, SMB or RDP; and other clients don't have any problem connecting to the NAS with either.
It is quite a strange problem and I wondered if anyone else had come across it, or had any ideas?
how are you connected to the network? Is the firewall on?
Got 32 bit installed on Virtual Box, had it with 1GB upped it to 1.5 and its running great. Alot better than Vista when I dabbled with it, still need to get used to new locations of where everything is. This weekend I plan to install it on a physical machine I have and also try the 64 bit edition. So far so good, seems to be quite fast as well.
Hi Guys,
Thanks for the responses. I am connected with gigabit into a switch which is connected to the core. I have tried with Windows Firewall enabled and disabled whith no difference. The server does not have a firewall.
I did think about SMB2 causing problems, but it worked fine under Vista.
It is a very weird problem!
As defeatist as it is, have you tried it without the offline file & folder caching enabled? (made a huge speed difference in Vista)
dyoung5 (15th May 2009)
Im running 7 x64 RC1 and am getting a similar problem with RDP.
All servers connect fine except one (the one i use the most, file storage) which max's my CPU and network.
At the moment Im using the XP VPC to remote to that server. Are you having similar strangeness with ur CPU/network usage when RDPing?
If you wanted to, you could rule out Auto-Negotiation on managed switches.
I suspect that me not having any speed issues whatsoever with Win7 is because most of our Admin PC's are all forced to 100mb/1gb FD at the Switch (HP) and client.
Where is that set in windows 7?
Same place as it is in Windows 2000 onwards.
Device Management > NIC Properties
Sorry DrP I meant offline file & folder caching.
Haha, my bad

Friday finances
Find a Conversation
|Fri, 03-22-2013 - 6:55am
So I heard a lot of chanting at school yesterday about tomorrow (today) being pay day, Woot! Ha, That doesn't mean a lot to me but some of those teachers make good money and b/w that and the slip ins about money in a couple threads here I thought a thread would be fun..
How often are you/your DH paid
Do you discuss finances with your children? To what extent?
Are you a spender or a saver
|Sat, 03-23-2013 - 8:04pm
So it has nothing to do with me, basically , Regina, because you do not know my finances and dont plan to. I find it funny that you seem to know exactly what I do but you dont even know WHEN your dh gets paid or about your bills since you do not do them. Gotcha.
Uh, he manages billions of dollars of other people's money. He's also a human calculator (seriously--it's quite a party trick to give him a math equation and see how quickly he comes to the answer), which comes in handy since I just proved in this thread that my math skills are abysmal. Why would I pay the bills when he's so good at managing money? Again--your lack of logic is astounding. We both do what we're best at.

I agree about a diverse portfolio. Does everybody need a financial planner to tell them that?
IDK. Does everyone need a CPA to tell them they can deduct their mortgage on their taxes? That's not a CPA I would need...
And you said earlier that your husband has all sorts of horror stories about families whose sole asset is their home...clearly those families could have used someone advising them on how to diversify their assets, no? Most people can't do it on their own, that's why my DH works as much and as hard as he does...
|Sat, 03-23-2013 - 7:56pm

My bad. I thought it was 6% of each income (not household) w/a 6% match on each. So 12% of household w/an equal match. :)

It is 6% of each, but that works out to be 6% of the household income. But, it's double that amount, or 12% of our HHI.
|Sat, 03-23-2013 - 7:55pm
|Sat, 03-23-2013 - 7:53pm
Ges said: . Dh and I both put in 6% with a 6% match from our employer.
Regina, it's 12% of their current income, not 25%. Which is excellent! (But math is math)

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 tested
Red Advance
On June 10, Red Hat launched a new major release of its enterprise distribution, RHEL 7. We take a look to find out where RHEL is headed.
The antics of Linux vendors in the enterprise environment conjures up pictures of an elephant race on the highway. Inch by inch, Ubuntu, Red Hat, and SUSE slowly squeeze past one another, each trying to anchor its market position with a new major release. Don't expect any giant leaps or rapid overtaking maneuvers, though – all the market players focus instead on demonstrating their robustness and efficiency through perseverance and consistency.
The long-term support (LTS) of enterprise distributions is a curiosity in the otherwise fast-moving FLOSS world. Canonical, Red Hat, and SUSE launch a product and commit to maintaining it over a period of years. This long-term commitment means admins can plan for long maintenance cycles of five years or more, instead of having a major update every two years; even long-term support is available at a premium [1].
Focus on Stability
In contrast to desktop distributions, enterprise versions primarily focus on stability. Red Hat and SUSE have their own test labs, in the form of the community editions of Fedora and openSUSE, where new features take a test run before making their way into the company's enterprise product.
Enterprise distros also set the bar higher for eliminating bugs, so each update requires more work than a community distro. Red Hat, for example, refuses to distribute kernel updates or even updated versions of the enterprise distribution's packages. A new feature might be added as a tech preview in later minor releases, but for the most part, users have to wait for a major release to find anything new.
All eyes thus watch expectantly for each new enterprise release. After all, whatever Red Hat gets wrong in version 7.0 will burden the company for a long time. In this article, I show what RHEL 7 [2] really can do, what has changed compared with the previous version, and whether the update is worthwhile.
Installing a Linux system is not really anything special, especially not in these times of colorful installation routines. Red Hat remains faithful to its Anaconda base in RHEL 7, garnishing it with a simple graphical interface (Figure 1).
Some pitfalls still await admins who rush in. If you guide the configuration according to the icons marked with a red exclamation mark in the installer, you will end up with a working RHEL 7 installation at the end of the day; however, it will also lack practically everything you need for effective work – such as a hostname, a proper network connection, Perl, and a graphical user interface, to name just a few (Figure 2).
To aggravate the situation, the keyboard layout settings at the command line are not those you set at the start of the GUI installer. Just imagine, for example, a French or German admin sitting in front of a TTY that has a US layout assigned to it trying to type in the non-standard characters they use for their passwords.
For a far easier time, you will probably want to opt for a GUI in the package selection phase of the RHEL 7 installer. After a reboot and after agreeing to the Red Hat EULA (Figure 3), you end up in a Gnome 3 desktop with your choice of language (Figure 4), running in the special "classic" mode and with the keyboard layout that you chose – even though Gnome insists on asking you again if you really want that layout.
XFS Instead of ext 4
Many changes go pretty much unnoticed by admins in distributions with long-term support. The change of the default filesystem in RHEL 7 is a good example, because only a call to
mount at the command line reveals that RHEL 7 uses XFS. Thus, XFS replaces the previous default ext 4, although the latter is still available.
The reason for the change, Red Hat states, is that a default installation can now use a big storage device with up to 500TB, but this just appears to be an excuse. The red hats are not saying anything about other potential motives. It is conceivable, though, that Red Hat was long dissatisfied with ext 4 because of its known performance issues and actually wanted to switch to Btrfs with RHEL 7. However, because Btrfs is not ready, and nobody can say when it will be, Red Hat may just have switched to XFS instead, because it is viewed to be equally as well integrated and stable as ext 4.
Incidentally, Btrfs is available as an option in RHEL 7, and Red Hat supplies it with its own Snapper [3] snapshot tool. If you want to try Btrfs on Red Hat systems, you can simply activate it in RHEL 7.

"So every time you see me in that metal suit just close your eyes and imagine me in an Arlequino outfit; green, red, blue, with the little tight around the midsection. Yeah, we all looked like a bunch of dorks."
Shannon is understandably guarded when it comes to plot specifics, although he does talk about David S. Goyer's script in general, about which he seems overwhelmingly positive.
"I thought the whole script was just very sophisticated for the genre that it is," says Shannon. "It was as sophisticated as scripts for other movies I've done that have been considered more highfalutin, or whatever. It has a lot of deep themes in it, and the way they deal with Kal-El's journey is really fascinating."
Directed by Zack Snyder and co-starring Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Kevin Costner and Russell Crowe, Man Of Steel will open in the UK on 14 June 2013.
