text: Share: Comments Print June 12, 2014 at 1:53 PM Victoria Sewage: Big response from B.C. residents taking issue with Seattle Times editorial Posted by Nikolaj Lasbo Victoria's unofficial mascot, Mr. Floatie, speaks to the media at a 2006 press conference on Victoria sewage. Though James Skwarok hung up his suit when it appeared Vancouver Island would build a sewage treatment plant, he has since come out of retirement for a "second movement." (Photo by Bruce Stotesbury/ Victoria Times Colonist) A decades-long effort to build a plant to treat Greater Victoria's sewage is now blocked by a local-government zoning squabble. On Sunday, The Seattle Times editorial board published an editorial, "Victoria sewage creates new stink," that has created quite a stink of its own among our friendly neighbors to the north. The Times' editorial was picked up by Victoria's Times Colonist, and the issue was covered Wednesday on KING5 news. Gov. Jay Inslee has also sent a letter to B.C. Premier Christy Clark stating "concern by the lack of progress," stressing the effect of untreated wastewater on Washington state. Since publication of the editorial, I've received more than a dozen letters in response from B.C. residents, all taking issue with the editorial. They write, among other points, that current waste dumping in the Strait of Juan de Fuca has negligible impact, and the reason for opposition to the proposed plant is more due to a different type of waste: wasteful spending. Read the best responses below, and send your opinions on the issue to firstname.lastname@example.com. Sewage treatment coming Washington State residents can rest assured that Greater Victoria will have sewage treatment in the near future ["Victoria sewage creates new stink," Opinion, June 8]. The governments of Canada and British Columbia have requirements in place that must be met. The province has approved a liquid-waste management plan for the region, which includes the construction of a sewage-treatment plant for Greater Victoria, and federal regulations mandate there must be sewage treatment by 2020. I fully expect the region to meet both their provincial and federal obligations — and that proper sewage treatment will be in place. Mary Polak, minister of environment, province of British Columbia Seattle in no place to discuss Victoria's issues For a Seattle newspaper to call the Strait of Juan de Fuca "our waters" seems arrogant — let's hear from places close to it, such as Friday Harbor and Port Angeles. And what does King Country have to do with the subject? Last I heard, Skagit and Whatcom counties were close to the strait, not King nor Snohomish counties. The Times' editorial is ignorant of technical factors and of a real debate about how to organize treatment of sewage, including environmental costs of moving sludge around, distributed treatment versus centralized, advancing technology, removal of heavy metals, and (mis-) management of the project. Yes, the NIMBY factor is also a big factor, as it probably often is in Seattle. So, no surprise that Esquimalt didn't want the plant. Speaking of managing overblown inappropriate projects, how's Seattle's Big Dig going? Keith Sketchley, Saanich B.C. Deal needs to ensure more before plant is built I can appreciate that, from a distance, Victoria's sewage-treatment saga could appear as simple as it seems in The Seattle Times' editorial. As with most things, up close the reality is more complex. In increasing numbers, citizens are fighting back against a regional government that has wasted years and millions of dollars trying to force an inefficient, poorly sited, technically over-complex, extremely expensive secondary sewage-treatment design on us. The Capital Region will have sewage treatment by 2020; federal law demands it. It would cost each household several hundred to a few thousand dollars a year. For that kind of investment, the region's citizens want a better solution than the one offered. We want tertiary level treatment, and a genuine effort to reduce the carbon footprint of the system, and to maximize reclamation of the heat, water and nutrient resources in the sewage. Can you blame us? For that kind of money, we would rather put near-potable water into our shared Strait of Juan de Fuca, rather than secondary effluent still contaminated with pharmaceuticals, hormones and complex industrial chemicals. Wouldn't you? Janet Riddell, Victoria B.C. Storm runoff a bigger worry It would be hard to find a more misinformed editorial than the recent one in The Seattle Times on Victoria's sewage treatment problems. According to ocean scientists at the University of Victoria, there is virtually no measurable effect on the marine environment from Victoria's sewage. And our past regional medical health officer has confirmed there is not the slightest impact on human health from sewage in Victoria, let alone Seattle. This is because a trillion gallons of seawater flushes through the Strait of Juan de Fuca twice a day, rapidly diluting Victoria's sewage to undetectable levels. Scientists tell us that the proposed sewage-treatment plant will have no measurable effect on water quality. Far better, according to them, would be to contain and treat storm runoff, which is apparently contaminated with gas and oil from cars. In many coastal areas, including Puget Sound, this toxic runoff goes strait into the ocean. That is likely one cause of the poor water quality in Puget Sound, not Victoria's sewage. Victorians don't want to spend a billion dollars on nothing more than placating misinformed public opinion, inflamed by misleading editorials such as that in The Seattle Times. Richard Brunt, Victoria, B.C. Project is a giant boondoggle Recent events in Victoria are a testament to the power of the democratic process and should be lauded not criticized. The true "stink" here is the smell of billions of wasted tax dollars going up in smoke. This waste of time and money is due to the stupidity of our elected officials who have blindly followed a guy in a turd suit (Mr. Floatie) and have not listened objectively to exceptionally qualified scientists and engineers who have spent decades in the pursuit of truth and rely on evidence-based research. They have told officials the project is ill-conceived and — based on all available evidence to date — useless. It is tragic that The Seattle Times' position seems to be to happily join the march of idiots and rush to weigh into this political quagmire. To date, our local planning authority has wasted close to $50 million dollars with no evidence that this project is even required. There has never been one case of a sick person, no case of a contaminated fish, and every study done has come back with the finding that the current system is working safely, efficiently and well within international guidelines for waste disposal.

|Transitioning to Retirement
"Of all the wealth in transition events, retirement is the most universal, but potentially one of the most challenging. That's because while there's an emphasis in our culture on saving, there is much less clarity around living and spending in retirement." -Matt Weinheimer
Increasing lifespans are a wildcard in retirement income planning, because no individual or couple knows how long retirement income must last. Add to the puzzle the fact that most couples and individuals have estate planning and legacy goals and the planning picture can get complicated, quickly.

We realize that the most important goal is ensuring that you have sufficient income to meet your needs during your lifetime, so planning for the distribution of your retirement savings is our top priority. Once those needs are taken care of, we can turn to the estate and legacy planning portion of the retirement wealth in transition process.
Specifically, we conduct an in-depth analysis of your assets and potential retirement income streams to design a plan that will:

I just scraped a bunch of skin off my knuckles while carrying my laundry basket down the narrow cinder-block walled staircase that leads into the basement. It's impossible to put bandaids all over these wounds. I feel like I might have to take a rubber glove, fill it with Neosporin, and then just wear it for a few days. I don't know, I'm not a doctor.
Just this morning I said, "It's about that time of year again….that time of year where I get sick." Not three hours later, I find myself sniffling, sneezing, and moaning with the oncoming symptoms of an annoying cold. I am rather stuffed up over here. Also, my noggin is a poundin', and my energy is at a bare minimum. On top of that, I can't seem to heat up my body no matter what I do. I just put a sheet of chocolate chip cookies in the oven, and I had to stop myself from crawling right on in there to get toasty. I feel like doing nothing but merely existing on my couch in my sweat pants with tissues dangling from my nostrils, watching What Not To Wear.
That show has got me by the balls. I forgot how great it was. Are these people serious? Some of these individuals need electroshock therapy because of the things they've been wearing. I just watched an episode where this woman wore nothing but turtle items. Turtle everything. Shirts with turtles on them, giant gaudy turtle necklaces, turtle pants, turtle bracelets—and on top of all this turtle paraphernalia, she wore Crocs and mens cargo shorts. Bad.
I'm glad I avoided living in a generation where people still used folding paper road maps to navigate their way through the world. I have been lucky enough to be blessed in the era of Map Quest, quickly evolving into Google Maps directions, then the invention of the GPS, followed by turn-by-turn navigation on my smart phone. Thank God. Can you imagine having to try to use a map the size of a table cloth whilst driving throughout a busy city trying to locate a Bank of America? Big creases through entire cities, ketchup stains on toll road signs, rips through the legend. What a nightmare. Mapping and driving is more dangerous than texting and driving. I am so happy to be able to just fire up the ol' cell phone and say, "Send me to Omaha, Phone," and it does. It just does.
….Droid. Droid does. You get it.
I wish for someone to purchase me Hungry, Hungry Hippos for Christmas. I truly love that game. I also loved that game where the little fish went around the circular "pond" chomping their teeth together, and you had this tiny little fishing rod of sorts to catch them with. Memories. It'd be funny if they replaced the hippos in the game with really hungry people like Nicole Richie and Kate Moss and Mary-Kate Olsen. Except then the balls that the hippos chomp after wouldn't be balls, they'd be diet pills.
Never mind.
SO, this week I will finally be returning to the glorious Midwest for the holidays. I can't wait to see my fellow Council Bluffians and be a little irresponsible while donning Christmas sweaters on the reg. WHEW! I trust you all have delightful holiday plans this year. If not, maybe this will brighten your day:
I will be holding the next drawing on Sunday, December 18!
The next prize iiiiiis:
This fantastic invention in which the classic puffy warm mitten meets the windshield ice scraper in a glorious marriage, keeping your extremities toasty while you scrape snow off your car in the frosty mornings this winter. The actual scraper-glove I'm giving away is even cooler than the one pictured above. This is a fantastic invention. To become eligible for prize drawings, all you have to do is 1) be subscribed to Sheppard's Pie by email, and 2) leave comments! Every comment you leave puts your name into the drawing. Good luck!
Time to go. Bye now.
B: When do you think we'll be hungry enough to eat our dessert?
A: I hope soon.

We also handled highly sensitive individual human resource issues including RIFs (Lee Hecht Harrison).

"Charlie and the team of professionals at Strategic HR Partners were instrumental in assisting our employees cope with the stress of the situation and providing the direction on to move forward with their careers after Carmike.

"I have had the pleasure of working with Charlie Little at OCEDAR Brands in Cincinnati, Ohio.

It was a turnaround situation, so I needed talented people who could think on their feet and make quick, but measured decisions on the business. Charlie did not disappoint me."
"I have known Charlie for a number of years and have worked with him as a hiring manager. Charlie is a GREAT HR person to deal with from a recruiting viewpoint. He is extremely straight forward, blunt, honest and keeps you informed throughout the hiring process. Charlie has trained a number of good HR people who I also know and have worked with over the years. He taught them well!! It has been a pleasure working with a getting to know Charlie."
"I got to know Charlie when he joined the staff of Krogers Grocery Products Division as manager of Human Resources, at the Pontiac plant in Columbia, South Carolina. At that time Grocery Products was in turmoil following Krogers financial restructuring and attempted sale of its manufacturing assets."
"Charlie is very passionate about his work! He takes great pride in his work and the people he serves. He leads with the utmost integrity and ethical standards. He is a professional in the field of Human Resources with the designation of SPHR."

"Strategic HR Partners has definitely filled a need in our community. Having certified Human Resource professionals on call to answer questions based on expertise and hands on experience has been a God send to my company."
"Charlie has served as a career coach and mentor since I moved to Columbus. He has helped me make some critical decisions about my career path in an insightful and engaging way. His expertise and connections provide a vast wealth of resources to draw upon. Most importantly he cares about his clients and their success. I would recommend Charlie and SHRP to anyone or any business looking for HR expertise and support."
"In March of this year (2008) I was given the major task of creating from scratch a complete HR manual and SOP binder for our new company. We were taking over the management of five hotels and I had only 90 days to complete the project."
"As a new HR Professional in the Columbus area I was surprised to find that key HR resources such as local salary surveys were not readily available. I was very pleased to find that Strategic HR Partners had also identified this gap in information and was working to bring together the individuals and technical resources to support this need. Not only is this useful for existing businesses, but is key information needed for attracting additional industry to the region to drive economic growth. W. Patrick Raley Vice President of Human Resources Carmike Cinemas Inc."

text: The hubs and I haven't had cable for several years now — yep, we're "one of those" couples. But believe me, there is plenty of TV-watching still happening in our house. Between Hulu and Netflix, we've always got something to watch. (FYI — I do not think that Hulu+ offers anything different/better than their regular free streaming videos… AND they still have commercials!) Well, we are the new demographic of viewers who like to "binge" on our shows — that is — we'll watch nearly an entire season of episodes during a weekend (or two, or three). There is a great article in the NYT about this very phenomenon and how Netflix has capitalized on it with their all new original series, House of Cards. Over three weekends we fit in all 13 "chapters" and well, we're hooked. Kudos to Netflix for taking such a risk on a new idea and better yet, for making a quality show to boot. I hope we can expect more of this in the future, (and it looks like we can.)

Why law firms should consider Skype for Business
Research published by Powwownow claimed that business meetings cost some companies as much as £16,000… Read more
Research published by Powwownow claimed that business meetings cost some companies as much as £16,000 per person per year, when travel expenses and wages were added together.
According to the conference call provider: "The average businessperson attends 207 meetings a year, amounting to 636 hours lost sitting through face-to-face meetings, as well as the equivalent of five working days spent just travelling to meetings."
Counting the cost
The average meeting of six business people costs almost £400, but this figure would of course be significantly higher for big earners at large law firms.
And having to waste time travelling to and from meetings can be highly frustrating. Some 20 per cent of attendees resented having their time wasted in this way, claimed Powwownow, while almost half get less work done on days when they have to leave the office to journey to meetings, with 15 per cent forced to work after hours to make up for time spent travelling.
The problem wouldn't be so bad if all meetings were productive. In 2013 Management Today reported the rather depressing claim that "UK workers waste a year of their lives in useless meetings". This it equated to four hours of pointless meetings every week – the equivalent of watching 1939 Hollywood epic, Gone With the Wind, it noted dryly.
Research from Epson and the CEBR concluded that workers waste two hours and 39 minutes in meetings every week, at an eye-watering cost to UK businesses of some £26bn a year. If these wasted hours were spent productively, said the report, it would equate to 13 million more productive hours per week and an annual increase in UK GDP of about 1.7 per cent.
Skype for Business
Face-to-face meetings are unavoidable in many cases, of course, and you just have to accept the associated costs and travel time. However, modern online communications technology may provide a solution to less essential gatherings.
Skype for Business is one example. Launched in 2003 and acquired by Microsoft in 2011, software application Skype is reported to have more than 300 million users worldwide – you may already be one of them. Skype allows users to communicate by voice, video or online instant messaging, and business conference calls can also be set up.
Skype-to-Skype calls are free, but Skype calls to landline phones and mobiles using traditional telephone networks are charged via a debit-based user account system. Skype can be downloaded free to use on Microsoft Windows, Mac or Linux systems, as well as Android, Blackberry, iOS and Windows smart phones and tablets.
For larger law firms, Skype for Business is recommended, because it "lets you add up to 250 people to online meetings, gives you enterprise-grade security, allows you to manage employee accounts and is integrated into your Office apps." This means your people could also use it to collaborate on work shared directly from Word, PowerPoint and Outlook.
It costs from £1.30 per month per user and even those who haven't signed up to Skype for Business (which could include your clients) can attend online meetings, as long as they have a telephone or internet connection. Even job interviews are now taking place via Skype, which could reduce your HR budget. The Skype blog offer tips on Skype conference calls and Skype meetings, you can even use the Skype Translator when communicating with non-English speaking contacts.
Potentially offering the chance to reduce meeting-related costs, save time, increase productivity and decrease your carbon footprint, perhaps it's time your law firm considered using Skype for Business.

Like his father, first he became a merchant, but then studied singing and made his debut in 1895 at the Wroclaw Opera House as Gomez in "Nachtlager in Granada" by C. Kreutzer. In the 1896-1900 seasons he worked as a lyric tenor at the Cologne Opera House, then started to appear only in buffo roles. He was a highly respected member of the Frankfurt am Main Opera House (1900-1933). On the German stage he was unequaled Mime in the Ring cycle and David in "Meistersingern". In 1899 he also sang the part of David at the Bayreuth Festival. Already in 1899 he guested at the London Covent Garden Opera. He also had a significant career in Brussels,Paris and Holland. In 1912 he appeared in Amsterdam in the Dutch premiere of opera "Königskinder" by Humperdinck. Other guest appearances took him to the Court Operas of Berlin (1897), Dresden (1898-99) and Munich (1898), to the Court Theater of Hanover (1899), Wiesbaden (since 1900), Karlsruhe (since 1906) and Mannheim (1900), since 1900 also to the City Theater of Zurich. In the 1923-1924 season he took part in the North American tour of German Opera. As a Jew, he retired from the stage in Frankfurt in 1934, but survived during the Nazi era in Frankfurt. His son, Friedrich Schramm (1900-1981), for a long time was director of the Stadttheater of Basel, then director of the Staatstheater in Wiesbaden.

Drum Solo 2019
from Tangibly Teriyaki
Drum Solo 2018
The Use Of Brushes..
Zoro has sat on the drummer's throne commanding some of the most famous stages in the world of rock and R&B music. He's long been in the spotlight—stationed center stage behind some of the most celebrated artists in music history. Zoro has toured and recorded with Lenny Kravitz, Bobby Brown, Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, The New Edition, Jody Watley, Philip Bailey of Earth, Wind & Fire, Vanessa Paradis, Sean Lennon, and Lisa Marie Presley—to name only a few.
Over more than two decades of creating music, Z has displayed a gifting and a personal charisma too unique to remain in anyone's shadow. He emerged from behind his drum kit early in his career to establish his own unique celebrity as an often awarded, world acclaimed musician and educator. Throughout his career, he has consistently been voted #1 R&B drummer and clinician in the world by premier music industry publications such as Modern Drummer, Drum!, and Rhythm magazines. "Zoro wrote the book on dynamics, touch, control, and groove," says Modern Drummer Magazine of Z's musicianship, sensitivity and unique style.
Often called the "Minister of Groove," Zoro authored the #1 award winning and best-selling book and DVD package, The Commandments of R&B Drumming, which was awarded industry accolades as the ultimate lesson from the master.
Zoro has achieved more than walls lined with platinum albums for projects that have included his drum artistry—he's reached the pinnacle of world success and breaks all the "rock star" rules and molds. He is fueled internally by a dynamic passion to use his platform of fame to reach everyone within the sound of his voice with an articulate, self-lived message of motivation and encouragement to reach for higher ground—to live life with faith, purpose, passion, and a dedication to excellence.
Success has offered him the opportunity to become a magnetic role model and people are drawn to his hip style and contagious passion. Zoro is a kinetic bundle of human energy and enthusiasm. His heartbeat is in the groove itself and his is "a groove for the generations."

Making Lemonade
The influx of baby boomers into the Medicare population is causing changes in the health care landscape. But it isn't all dire.
Baby boomers are the largest generation of Americans ever. Every day, about 10,000 of these individuals turn 65 and become eligible for Medicare. At this rate, the number of Medicare enrollees will increase from 54 million to more than 80 million by 2030.
By then, over 20 percent of the United States' population will be 65 years of age or older — putting a strain on health care as we know it. "We've never seen that dramatic of an increase before," says Ezequiel Silva III, MD, FACR, chair of the ACR Commission on Economics.
With such a large amount of incoming patients who will increasingly need care as they age, it's no surprise that health care will undergo sizeable changes to adapt. For some, these changes might conjure images of empty pockets and the end of the medical world. But for radiologists, baby boomer–driven change means a host of opportunities.
Numbers Crunched
Why does a booming Medicare population scare some individuals? "It's going to put demands on the health care system like we've never encountered," explains Silva. At the most basic level, Medicare is financed by tax-paying workers who contribute to the program, he explains. But with such a large influx, the number of individuals making contributions per Medicare enrollee is quickly decreasing. Initially, that ratio was 4.6 contributors to each Medicare patient, but by 2030, that number will be cut in half.1 Paying for these patients is going to be become increasingly difficult. Adding to that is the strain on the available primary care physician population combined with changing patient expectations.
Relationships Forged
But all isn't lost. A lack of primary care physicians means that physician extenders such as nurse practitioners and physician's assistants will take on more roles in a patient's care, says Mark O. Bernardy, MD, FACR, chair of the ACR Managed Care Network Committee. And with that comes new roles for radiologists.
"There is evidence these extenders are apt to rely on imaging more than their primary care physician counterparts," adds Chris Sherin, ACR director of congressional affairs. "This is a great opportunity for imaging specialists to continue to educate the physician extender population about when it's appropriate to provide imaging services." (Did you know physician extenders can participate in R-SCAN? Form a partnership today.)
Collaboration Needed
As the boomer generation ages, they also face a variety of challenges to their health. Baby boomers will enjoy longer life expectancies than previous generations, but they also have higher rates of chronic conditions such as heart disease. "As a result, you're going to see screening services become more important. Catching diseases early generally means a more cost-effective treatment, which is going to be vital with Medicare being financially strained," says Sherin.
And with new health challenges to tackle, coordination of care is also going to be extremely important in the near future. "Radiology is extremely well positioned to guide the discussion on how to coordinate that care. We do so much coordination as it is — we make the initial diagnosis and then communicate back to various physicians and subspecialists. We're engaged in screening studies, disease prevention, and disease surveillance. Collaboration and coordination are front and center for us, so it makes sense that we drive discussions around it," Silva notes.
Engagement Increased
A changing patient population will also lead to changing patient expectations. Baby boomers will be fairly savvy about the health care system, so their demands will be high, says Silva. "Baby boomers are going to expect favorable outcomes and minimally invasive therapy, as well as maintaining a quality lifestyle. That's what radiologists do. They diagnose and treat disease in a minimally invasive, evidence-based fashion. So not only will the demand for radiologists increase, but so will the expectation for satisfactory patient care. And it's up to radiologists to rise up and ensure our health systems deliver," Silva adds.
With higher expectations comes a rise in consumer-driven health care, says Bernardy. And that has significant implications for radiologists. For instance, patient- and family-centered care is going to be essential, with patient satisfaction taking on increased importance. All patients, including baby boomers, are going to be increasingly technologically savvy; it will be easier than ever to spread ratings and opinions about an imaging facility. Bernardy notes, "It's an opportunity for us to lead the way in our departments and practices and ensure that the various needs of patients are being met, whatever they are."
One of those needs that radiologists can fill involves communication. Patients actively involved in their health care will have a lot of questions, from what tests are right for them to how much those tests cost, as well as queries about their individual diagnosis and treatment. With that, if radiologists provide more information on their websites and make themselves available to answer questions, they offer a valuable service. "This provides us with a way to increase customer satisfaction — patients can feel comfortable leaving the imaging suite because they know they've made the right choice for their health," says Bernardy. Silva adds, "It also positions radiologists more securely in a consulting role."
Ultimately, changes are on the way. But along with challenges comes a lot of good, and a bright outlook for radiologists. Says Sherin, "Like any problem, it's mostly how you attack it. It's easy to look at these changes as a burden, but they become easier to tackle once you realize the opportunities that go along with them."

If you have a bathtub/shower combination, when you want the water to come out of the showerhead instead of the tub spout, you simply pull up on the tub spout diverter and the water shoots up to the shower head (for older styles there may be a separate handle in the wall for this).
The problem is that over time the gate inside the shower diverter will wear and either the gate of the entire shower diverter will need to be replaced. Replacing the shower diverter is easy, but you may be able to get a free gate from the manufacturer. By the way, the gate is the little door that blocks water from exiting the tub spout and forces it back up the riser to the showerhead.
Getting access to the gate is tricky. It is inside the end of the tub spout and you will either have to rotate the spout or practically stand on your head to work on it. You will need to disengage the bottom of the gate (it rides on the rod operated by the knob) and remove the gate. It is typically plastic and will slide off, but you may need to remove the knob too. Once you slide the new gate onto the rod, reinstall the end of the rod into the groove at the base of the tub spout. Then just turn the water on and test it.

Quality anesthesia care
We make a measurable difference
At USAP, we pride ourselves on delivering the highest quality anesthesia patient care in the nation. Our industry-leading providers, clinical quality committees, local clinical governance boards and proprietary IT tools enable advanced data capture, analytics and continuous improvement in all aspects of our practice.
Our innovative ideas and measurement capabilities raise the bar for the entire industry and shape the future of anesthesia as we know it.
As a physician anesthesiologist at USAP, I get my data. I can see how I stand. If I can see the yardstick, if I can see the measure, I will get better.
We're focused on quality
Single-specialty focus
Our exclusive focus on anesthesia and unwavering commitment to quality provide an unmatched depth of expertise in anesthesia care. We aren't trying to do all things — we are committed to doing one thing, with excellence.
High caliber providers
USAP only partners with leading anesthesia groups focused on quality. Our clinicians are knowledgeable thought leaders and include some of the world's foremost experts in anesthesia. They are highly skilled, dedicated professionals. They're up-to-date on all the latest tools, techniques and approaches for delivering quality anesthesia care, and, follow the outcomes of every case to continuously learn and improve.
Local clinical governance
Each physician group has its own, doctors-only, clinical governance board which is responsible for all clinical decision-making for their practice. Ongoing communication between the boards and our national and local quality committees keeps all of our clinicians well-informed of best practices, ensuring continuous improvement and clinical excellence in all the communities we serve.
Clinical Quality Committee
Our Clinical Quality Committee guides the clinical quality of our entire organization to ensure all of our patients get the best care. Members discuss rare cases, complications, research, data, lessons learned and best practices and then recommend these to their clinical governance boards and local clinical quality committees. Collectively, these boards and committees drive continuous quality improvement throughout USAP to ensure we maintain our superior level of care.
Sharing best practices
Our physicians share best practices through our clinical quality committees and national network of providers. Sharing drives improvements in all areas of our clinical practice and often leads to the implementation of new patient-centered systems at the facilities where our providers practice, increasing patient safety, outcomes and satisfaction.
Routine measurement of patient satisfaction
We invest in continually understanding our outcomes by using Survey Vitals® to solicit patient satisfaction data from our patients. We then share the information, down to the individual provider level, with our doctors, nurses, facilities and surgeons to give complete visibility and help make improvements.
Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) program — proven, positive results
No other anesthesia group does everything that we do
Our CQI program is a data-driven, clinical care and risk management program with proven, positive results.. We monitor 50 different clinical quality indicators, digitally collecting the data from every case, every day, at every facility we serve. Our best-in-class IT tools and advanced analytics allow us to generate accurate quality data and yield greater insight into quality patient care.
By measuring our own quality metrics, we gain a visual of our impact on patient satisfaction, outcomes, OR efficiencies and more. We use this data to improve our care and enhance the patient experience. yielding greater insight into patient care. And, we can share this data through our quality dashboards with hospitals, ASCs, health systems, payers and other partners.
Above the national bar for patient satisfaction
We capture clinical outcome data for every case, using MD Cloud or Medaxion apps, via mobile phones and tablets. We then share the data, down to the individual provider level, so everyone knows exactly where they stand.
We exceed national benchmarks in many of the most important quality measures, such as mortality, hospital length of stay and patient satisfaction.
Our data drives improvements to our care
The more data we collect and analyze, the better able we are to continually improve and deliver the best patient care, patient outcomes, reduce hospital lengths of stay, reduce disruptions caused by day-of-surgery cancellations and schedule changes, drive down costs and enhance the patient experience.
Examples of this include:
- Bundle Compliance vs. LOS: We work with surgical and facility partners to improve operational efficiency. For example, there are more than four dozen different "Enhanced Recovery" or "Perioperative Surgical Home" pathways within different institutions. We lead or participate in ERAS or PSH projects at multiple sites, typically focused on colorectal surgery, total joint replacement, spine surgery, or major urologic procedures. We have documented reductions in length of stay and total cost of care associated with these efforts. These projects have produced documented reductions in cost-per-case and length of stay for our hospital partners.
- Immediate Perioperative Mortality Rate: USAP is the largest and leading participant in the National Anesthesia Clinical Outcomes Registry. Our outcomes speak for themselves — we use NACOR benchmarks to compare ourselves to other practices.
- Meeting Joint Commission requirements: We provide OPPE and Hospital Compare data to our hospital partners
- Direct path to clinical leadership: Every provider has direct access to the Chief Quality Officer to request data, analysis or advice. Dr. Dutton is the, former Chief Quality Officer of the American Society of Anesthesiologists and founder of the National Anesthesia Clinical Outcomes Registry. He represents our specialty in numerous influential ways, including with CMS, AHRQ and the National Quality Forum.
Patient feedback
We solicit patient satisfaction information for every case. If we have an unsatisfied patient we individually follow-up with them and ask for details.
Using the data gathered from patients we actively promote improvements in safety and quality. Additionally, in our monthly digest to all providers, we have had a series of articles focused on clinical care, covering topics such as Exparel, Sugammadex, pediatric anesthetic effects on the brain, corneal abrasion prevention and dural puncture headache prophylaxis.
Dr. Scott Holiday and I are on the Texas Medical Board, appointed by the Governor. I've been fortunate to be appointed as President of the Board. From the standpoint of a physician that is practicing actively, I can communicate with my partners what are the best practices and what's going out there that we may not necessarily see.
USAP was created with, first and foremost, a commitment to preserving and advancing high-quality, cost-effective, perioperative medical care.

Currently the most affordable Honeycomb tablet. Speedy Nvidia Tegra 2 processor. Honeycomb features strong multitasking, e-mail and calendar notifications. HDMI out for HD video and mirroring. $150 keyboard dock accessory turns the tablet into a virtual notebook.
Honeycomb interface can be cluttered. Virtual keyboard is slightly modified and doesn't handle predictive text well.
Bottom Line
The Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101 distinguishes itself from the sea of emerging Honeycomb tablets with its aggressive pricing, and an optional accessory that turns it into a virtual notebook.
The horde of Honeycomb-based tablets announced at CES arrived in Spring, followed quickly by the Android 3.1 update. With so many similar models available now, what makes one of these tablets different or better than the others? And can any of them beat the current tablet standard, the Apple iPad 2 (4.5 stars, $499)? The Wi-Fi-only Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101, a 10.1-inch tablet powered by the beefy Nvidia Tegra 2 processor, attempts to separate itself from a crowded Honeycomb tablet field with its low price, some user interface tweaks, and a cool accessory—an optional keyboard dock that converts the tablet into a virtual netbook. Does the Eee Pad standout as a unique Honeycomb tablet? In a word: No. But it does standout as an inexpensive option that isn't missing any key features, and it's definitely one of the best Android tablets out there.
Similar Products
At $399 for the 16GB model and $499 for the 32GB version, the Wi-Fi-only Eee Pad Transformer is aggressively priced. Compared with the iPad 2, which fetches $499 (16GB), $599 (32GB), and $699 (64GB), the Transformer is a downright bargain. The 32GB, Wi-Fi only Motorola Xoom (3.5 stars), like the iPad, is $599, while the Acer Iconia Tab A500 ($449, 3.5 stars), which is 16GB and Wi-Fi-only, goes for $449. So, for now, the Eee Pad is the cheapest Honeycomb tablet you'll find. It's also the least-expensive tablet that can come close to competing with the iPad 2 in terms of overall experience.
Editor's Note: This review was updated on June 28, 2011 to reflect software updates since the tablet's launch.
Design & File Support
Measuring 6.9 by 10.7 by 0.6 inches (HWD), the 1.5 pound Transformer looks, well, a whole lot like just about every other tablet we've seen. With built-in speakers flanking the screen on either side, a 1.2-megapixel front-facing camera and a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera, the tablet's primary difference, visually, is its dark gray/metallic coloring—slightly different than the standard black plastic look. The back panel features an interesting etched, geometric pattern, and of course, the Asus logo. In terms of screen size, its 10.1-inch, 1280-by-800 pixel multitouch screen most-closely resembles the Motorola Xoom's, which has identical screen specs. The Transformer integrates an accelerometer and gyroscope, uses the dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 1GHz processor, and supports 802.11n wireless signals, as well as Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR.
The right-hand panel houses a mini-HDMI output (a cable is not included), a micro-SD slot, and a 3.5-mm headphone jack. The left panel has a Power button and Volume controls, and the lower panel houses the proprietary connection for cable sync and dock connection (along with two slots to stabilize the tablet when docked). A USB sync cable and charger are included, but like other tablets, you won't find earbuds.
Also not included, though instrumental in the marketing of the Transformer, is the full QWERTY keyboard dock, which, for $149, turns the tablet into a streamlined netbook. It even folds up like a laptop when connected. The sync cable side-connects so you can charge, or even sync files from your computer, while you type. Check out our full review of the Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101 Docking Station ($149, 4 stars) for more details, but the bottom line is: The Transformer-and-dock combo is only $50 more expensive than the Xoom, which is a good deal.
Google's tablet operating system, Honeycomb (Android 3.0, which was recently updated to 3.1) varies only slightly from tablet to tablet. So slightly, in fact, that we cover the ins and outs of the OS in our dedicated Honeycomb review. In short, the operating system is solid—it gets the little things, like multitasking and e-mail and calendar notifications, right. It's a bit clunkier than Apple's iOS and the BlackBerry Tablet OS when it comes to overall layout and organization. Sometimes, its highly customizable appearance gets in the way of simplicity and ease-of-use. It's not a nightmare, it's just full of unnecessary visual flourishes and organization options that actually make the tablet less organized. For example, there are plenty of ways to organize your apps—but why not just have them all in one place, and make that the start-up screen, as Apple and RIM have done? In Honeycomb, swiping to the left or right of the home screen shows you more home screens, many of them likely empty if you haven't filled them up with apps you can already access by just tapping the Apps icon. There's no way to get rid of the blank screens—you can only fill them up or deal with them. You won't see cumbersome user interface issues like this on the RIM BlackBerry PlayBook ($499, 3 stars) or the iPad.
Interface quibbles aside, Android's main issue is its app store, the Android Market, which is still growing, but slowly. The browser offers a quality Internet experience, and the Android 3.1 update brings full support for Adobe Flash (rather than beta support, which had some issues). In other words, Honeycomb is getting there, but it has some issues out of the gate. If e-mail push notifications and calendar updates are your bread-and-butter, however, Honeycomb is the clear winner.
It's also worth briefly noting what Android 3.1 brings to the table. Aside from full Flash support, there's enhanced multitasking—you're no longer limited to five apps open at a time. In 3.1, you can have upwards of 20 apps open at once, all viewable as thumbnails via the multitasking icon. Resizable widgets are also supported now, but it's up to the app developer to enable this feature for each app. There is now support for a USB keyboard and mouse (mouse support is another feature the iPad does not have), and there are some new useful apps...but they are all from Google. Google Music uses cloud storage to help you manage your library, and there are new Google Video and Movie Studio Apps. These are great, but third parties really need to develop excellent apps for Honeycomb soon—Google can't do it all.
The Transformer's version of Honeycomb is the first customization we have seen, but it is so barely customized, it seems insignificant. Instead of a still image for the wallpaper, the Transformer uses an animated image of an ice cube floating in water that adjusts, amusingly, depending on the angle at which you are holding the tablet. The keyboard behaves slightly differently than the other Honeycomb keyboards—and not to its advantage. In my tests, predictive text often guessed the wrong thing when I was searching for apps in the Market, and it can get annoying quickly. I typed "Advanced Task Killer" with a single typo at the end of the first word, for example, and it assumed I was looking for "Neanderthal Killer." It generally ignores what you specifically type and defaults to selecting a more-popular search result, so if you press enter before re-selecting what you typed instead of what it suggests, you'll be headed to a result that isn't likely what you were looking for. The buttons on the lower left panel are in the same order and have the same basic icons as on other Honeycomb tablets. This is straight-up Honeycomb as we know it.
Performance & Speed
Since all Honeycomb tablets thus far use the Nvidia Tegra 2 dual-core 1GHz processor, we are seeing similar test results for CPU benchmarking. The results of our CaffeineMark and Benchmark Pi tests were very similar for the Transformer and the Xoom—though the Xoom was a bit quicker to calculate Pi, and the Transformer got a better CaffeineMark score. Our suite of Softweg tests gave slightly higher graphics and CPU scores to the Xoom, but better memory test and file system test scores to the Transformer. They're in the same realm as the T-Mobile G-Slate with Google (by LG) ($629, 3.5 stars). The Transformer also recorded our fastest SunSpider JavaScript test result—1,999.9ms—for all tablets, iPad 2 and BlackBerry Playbook included. Even that result however, was only nominally faster than most of the competing tablets. In other words, we have yet to see a tablet that is far and away the best in terms of overall performance and speed.

Radio & Records Demise Emphasizes Radio Industry Dilemma
I'm sure not many people can claim to have expected the announced closure of Radio & Records yesterday. In retrospect, though, the newspaper industry has been having extremely difficult times, so you might say it's no surprise. A newspaper reporting on the radio industry, which is having similar financial woes, could be considered on a short-list of businesses expected to fold. Hindsight is wonderful for predicting yesterday.
Though, long ago, it was THE radio industry publication, readers of Audio Graphics know I simultaneously lost respect for R&R and radio industry CEOs. From my perch it - like they - turned into continually cheerleading radio when all should have been leading (pushing?) the industry into a new era. What helped bring this radio mainstay down was it stopped doing the journalistic work required of "reporting," and it began repeatedly printing near-verbatim press releases. It suffered from "less is more." In its final decade, Radio & Records conducted radio industry seminars that excluded anyone with new-tech knowledge. I wrote about that often, while mentioning how it trumpeted a worn-out agenda of panels led by consultants and insiders who, like R&R, didn't want to rock radio's boat. By the end there wasn't much to read in Radio & Records. You didn't learn after looking at its articles, because they seemed to lead to a conclusion that radio was doing better than reality showed.
Forty people will be without jobs come this Friday. Bummer. I know the feeling, having been blown out in the first wave of consolidation over ten years ago. It's not that these people were bad or unprofessional. It's just that they failed in delivering the news for whatever reason
the parent company didn't provide financial support, the editors thought it best not to anger radio industry CEOs with contentious issues, individuals didn't want to chance losing their jobs by standing up to management to say "radio needs to change and we do too."
Change is a magic word. It's the only way any company is going to stay afloat. What
done isn't good enough now.
What needs to be done
isn't understood yet, and there's a learning curve which means this process of change needed to start at least five years ago if you wanted to be up-to-speed on where media is today.
Radio & Records was content at producing status quo. Sad to say, that's why the doors were shuttered.
It was suggested to me that I take a look at back issues of Radio & Records to see the column inches of ads run over a course of time. I'm not that print-oriented. So, rather than count column inches I looked at the number of ads in issues from 1996, 2005, and 2008. After that year, like many people, I got all R&R content online. But here's what I found relative to record industry ads being run in this industry publication
In the 1996 issue, there were 28 ads promoting record releases, many full-page
in 2005, there were 5 record ads
in 2008, there was 1.
Could Radio & Records have survived? It's anybody's guess. I'd say if it had made a move to be a journalistically sound publication that reported both sides of an issue, and had published articles leading the radio industry into tomorrow, the answer would most probably be yes. Online. However, R&R ended up being a promoter of radio industry initiatives (like HD Radio) and backers of radio (like suddenly tech-knowledgeable consultants) with no regard for the many people who continually pointed to the oncoming cliff.
Hear this message clear, please. The radio industry cannot continue to deliver low-quality programming and commercials that anyone who's sat in a programming chair can easily label as such. If it does, radio will end up in the same position as Radio & Records. The radio industry can no longer afford to ignore the knowledge needed to move into a digital future while continuing to point to HD Radio as its digital answer, like Radio & Records did.
The radio industry is at a very important crossroads where its only salvation is to make major adjustments - meaning to walk away from what was, and begin learning what is and will be.
To continue ignoring the signs which have been pointed to for over a decade by those of us called "naysayers" will most definitely lead to the shuttering of dozens-upon-dozens of radio station doors - just like we're seeing Radio & Records close its doors.
This is no longer a warning. It is a promise. And this is not hindsight speaking, it's the call of the future for change.
From: Maynard Meyer
Lac qui Parle Broadcasting Co., Inc.
Yes, there is a serious programming problem in radio.
The problem is programmers who believe that radio is a music medium. We now have two or three generations of program directors who believe 'music good'...'commercials and talk bad'. Those programmers have trained listeners to believe they should shun the very things we need to survive. Say what you will about 'localism'..but that's the key to our survival. We put KLQP-FM in Madison, Minnesota (pop 1,700...county population 8,000) on the air 26 years ago and we're still making money by giving people what they want, local information and features they can't get from satellite or their ipods. Sure we play a lot of music, but only because we need filler when we have nothing important to say. It's time to stop competing with the use of music, we can do better than that.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Textile Connect?
Textile Connect is a website that was created and is maintained at the North Carolina State University College of Textiles. It is designed to serve as an information warehouse that "connects" global textile event, product, market, and company information from government, industry, and academic sources to the textile complex. Textile Connect is the umbrella site for both North Carolina Textile Connect and South Carolina Textile Connect.
How is Textile Connect maintained?
Whereas personnel from the College of Textiles will continuously update the website, the future content of Textile Connect is highly dependent on you, the members of the textile complex. The most useful websites are those that are created in collaboration with the users themselves. If you have any information you would like to see added to the website, or suggestions for future website developments, please contact us using the email link.
Who is part of the Textile Complex?
The textile complex includes more than just the traditional textile manufacturing industries composed of yarn, fabric, apparel, and home furnishings producers. It also includes:
- Pre-production inputs and activities such as raw materials, fibers, research, design, development, and inbound logistics
- Production of diverse products for markets outside of the apparel and home furnishings markets such as the medical, transportation, industrial, sports, and agriculture markets
- Post-production activities including distribution, wholesale, packaging, labeling, marketing, retail, and after-sale services
- Supporting environment consisting of machinery, training institutions, trade associations, and regulatory bodies.
How was the Textile Connect textile value chain created?
The first step taken to develop Textile Connect was a redefinition of the textile industry to encompass the entire textile complex using all of the industries listed above and applying them to the value chain framework. To identify the specific actors that comprise each of these industries, North American Industrial Classification codes (NAICS) were identified and matched to each industry based on empirical research and the compilation of several datasets and resources over the last two years.
One of the unique features of the website is the ability to traverse through the information for each stage of the value chain through the use of a visual depiction. The visualization is designed to give users a better sense of how the textile complex is connected, and to introduce new ideas on where value can be added, new markets can be served, and new resources that are available to assist in this process.
The value chain reference model and the original content of the Textile Connect websites were developed in conjunction with Stacey Frederick's doctoral dissertation research. If you have additional questions about the model, please contact Stacey at email@example.com

Year-Round News & Updates on the Minnesota Timberwolves
Beasley Injured in China?
Well, if the 2011-12 NBA season ever starts we may not have to have much debate on who will be starting at the 3 for the Minnesota Timberwolves.
A report from HoopChina states that TWolves forward Beasley may have injured his wrist while playing on a tour through China. Some reports have him fracturing it while others say he's broken it. If that's the case Beasley could easily miss the start of the season (if it starts on time), making room for the second overall pick in last months draft: Derrick Williams to start at the small forward.
There still hasn't been a confirmation on whether Beasley has or has not broken or fractured his wrist, hopefully we'll have a report soon.
Before he broke his wrist, Beasley was working on a 32-point game alongside teammate Paul Pierce of the Boston Celtics.
That's all for now, thanks for reading and remember to check back daily for TWolves news, information & updates all year round. GO WOLVES!

Neither story was new news, but seeing both of them on yesterday morning's front pages made me stop and ask, what is wrong with our country, and what is wrong with me?
First the San Jose Mercury warned, "Poverty Rate at 18-Year High," with an article that largely recounted census data already known, such as 27% of African-Americans and Hispanics have incomes below the poverty line, and the hardest-hit among us are children and young adults. But it also offered some personal vignettes to make the numbers seem more real. For example, the author, Matt O'Brien, highlighted a single mother of two children who has moved in with her grandmother after losing her own apartment, but is in fact now moving from place to place since her grandma's home is in foreclosure.
Stories like this woman's are repeated all too often among the 46.2 million people who live in poverty in the U.S., officially earning less than $22,113 for a family of four. It's hard to wrap my mind around the numbers, but we're talking about more than 15 percent of our population.
Then I turned to the New York Times on my iPad (yes, I acknowledge the irony), and one of the featured stories was about a clinic in rural Kentucky that has decided to stop issuing new prescriptions for Xanax and its generic equivalent, as well as to wean current patients off the drug because of concern over its abuse. According to the article by Abby Goodnough, "While Kentucky and other states have focused largely on narcotic painkiller addiction, experts say that benzodiazepines, the class of sedatives that includes Xanax, are also widely misused or abused, often with grim consequences."
I'll be honest: my initial reaction was less than charitable. At first I thought, well, it seems like a drastic step to cut off all Xanax prescriptions, but maybe people in rural Kentucky just don't know what's best for them. My judgmental attitude was only heightened by a quote from a disappointed clinic patient whose style of speech indicated a lack of education. Referring to how her panic attacks had increased after switching off Xanax to its generic counterpart, she said, "But if this ain't doing it, something's got to change."
Then I stopped myself. You know, this lady was speaking the truth. Something does need to change. Why has this clinic and others like it experienced so much drug abuse among its patients in the first place? Why do people in Appalachia and other rural areas suffer from panic attacks and depression? I would guess it has a lot to do with the other story I happened to read about burgeoning poverty in America. It's hard to feel optimistic about the future when you've lost your job, haven't been able to find another one and don't know how you're going to feed your family. So changing my mind, I began to despair about the state of our economy and society, where people can't find "honest work," but somehow are able to get free or reduced-price prescriptions that help them deal with the stress of not being able to pay the bills — that dull the pain when they lose hope. Not unlike the use of street drugs in poor urban settings, prescription drug abuse of the type seen at this Kentucky clinic goes hand in hand with rural poverty.
My reaction to problems that loom so large they seem unsolvable is, regrettably, one of distancing and distracting myself. Other than writing checks to support organizations that assist the poor, or greeting a homeless "friend" I encounter regularly, I have little personal interaction with the poverty that exists right in front of me. As for prescription meds, I wholeheartedly support using them to alleviate pain, anxiety and depression. But my knowledge of prescription drug abuse is limited to things like the TV show "House," where although the main character is an irascible Vicodin addict, he is nonetheless brilliant and, in his own way, lovable. So in short, I know nothing of true poverty or real abuse of prescription drugs. And I'm fine keeping it that way.
But that's the problem. I'm ashamed to admit how trivial my own concerns are when contrasted with societal challenges like these, and on a more personal level, with the individual struggles with which poor people wrestle every day as they try to eke out a living, to hold onto their dignity. I feel guilty that, if I'm worried about something, it might be the multiple tests my son has tomorrow, or how to build community among the new group of women I'm leading on my tennis team this season. Sure, I may be concerned about meeting long-term financial goals, but I'm not feeling anxious about whether there's food for my kids to eat tonight, or where we're going to live next month.
Shame and guilt are understandable responses, but gratitude is a better one. Just as I can't be blamed for having a place closer to the top of the pyramid than the bottom, I also can't take credit for it. If I focus on being grateful for the gifts I've been given, however, I can have a more charitable attitude towards those who didn't receive such abundance. For example, Second Harvest Food Bank runs a campaign every summer called "Share Your Lunch," where for the cost of a lunch (about $10) you can provide twenty meals for hungry kids. It doesn't seem like much by itself, but if all of us who have plenty to eat skipped lunch once a week and directed the money towards feeding the hungry, the impact would be huge.
I'm not advocating any particular solution. The problems of poverty and drug abuse are vast even within a wealthy country like the United States. But walling myself off from problems is not an option I can live with. Retreating to my suburban enclave where I don't have to feel guilty or ashamed about my discomfort with the poor and their problems is not the answer. Instead I need to reach out in gratitude, not feeling bad because I have more, but feeling good because I get to share. It's not going to be easy. But I have to try.

Self-sampling for HPV screening: a community trial
There are major ethnic inequalities in cervical cancer screening, incidence, and mortality in New Zealand. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the main cause of cervical cancer. Screening for high-risk HPV genotypes (with appropriate subsequent treatment) could prevent nearly all instances of cervical cancer. The research team members believe offering the opportunity for self-sampling to obtain a cervical specimen for HPV testing will mean more women participate in the National Cervical Screening Programme and incidence, mortality rates and ethnic disparities in screening will be reduced. The team will conduct a community trial in Māori, Pacific and Asian women, comparing invitation for screening with invitation for self-sampling. They will determine whether non-screened and under-screened women find self-sampling acceptable and establish which factors affect their perceptions. The study aims to contribute to reducing inequities in New Zealand by exploring the use of a new cervical screening method that women, who do not currently undergo screening, may find acceptable.

You can channel touch spells through your familiar without needing to be adjacent to it.
Prerequisite(s): Caster level 5th, familiar class feature.
Benefit: Once per day, you can cast a touch spell without being in contact with your familiar and designate your familiar as the "toucher." You do not require line of sight to your familiar to use this ability, but you must be within 30 feet of your familiar when you cast the spell, and if you can't see or hear your familiar, you must at least be able to speak with it.
Special: You can take this feat multiple times. Each time you do, you gain another use of this feat, and the distance you can be from your familiar increases by 10 feet.
Normal: Your familiar must be in contact with you when a spell is cast in order for it to deliver the spell.

Blurred vision
Under The Westway is the better track, a love letter to London (as seen from the aggressively grey Westway trunk road) that brings to mind the bruised majesty of This Is A Low and The Universal. The Puritan is more uptempo, with Damon sneering a disjointed lyric about the numbing pace of modern life. The tune is rather thin - but Graham Coxon's frantic, squalling guitar line saves the chorus.
Both songs were written for the band's Hyde Park Olympic show, and will feature on the genuinely exciting Blur 21 box set, which comes out in July.
You can hear the two tracks below. Under The Westway's visuals scroll through the song's sheet music, which is the best innovation in lyric videos for about five years. But can we have the guitar tablature next time, please?

UW-Iowa…random thoughts.
Here are some things you may have thought about or noticed from Saturday's game:
- On Scott Tolzein: "I take it all on myself," Tolzien said. "Protection was good. Just bonehead decisions." Here is a quandary. We've all been fascinated by this story–cool kid (check out story about his relationship with an Appleton Youth in the JSOnline). However, he beat out Curt Phillips who is obviously more gifted physically because of his cerebral decision making. Count me as one person amongst many who now believe that Phillips should be given a chance to start. Ala Bollinger relieving Scott Kavanagh in 2001 against Michigan. It is time.
- On Bret Bielema: the decision to assert Phillips in the midst of momentum–boneheaded. His assertion that it was planned? Great call. So if you are planning not to meet a beautiful women and lo and behold the opportunity presents itself…do you turn your back on said women because it wasn't part of the plan? No.
- On Bielema: he has now been running UW's special teams for about a year. His performance in that regard has been putrid. UW's kick return unit is the worst specialist unit in the conference. Their motto? "Thank god for our kick coverage unit". Not sure if you noticed how many core players are on that kick coverage unit…try O'Brien Schofield, Chris Borland, Chris Maragos, Jay Valai, and Antonio Fenelus. This isn't a unit consisting of reserves, these are defensive regulars, and the result: hideous. Considering his poor run as a recruiter, I am of the opinion that after 2009 it is time to move on. I also had a dream that Alvarez pulled the plug and stepped in…that was a good dream.
- On Schofield: wow. That's about all I can say. I forgot about Tom Burke in praising him the other day. Next time I'm in Poplar, I'll drop in to apologize for that omission. Schofield is putting himself in position to play on Sundays.
- On Chris Borland and assignments: Borland is in, doing what he does…which is make plays. He is removed in favor of the more assignment sure Blake Sorenson–next play Sorenson vacates his gap Adam Robinson scores the key touchdown. Sometimes you ignore your instincts and follow realism. The kid just makes plays, case closed. It may not make any sense to see him doing it given his height and age, but he does…so go with it. He may have to kick, as we've read he was quite the jack of all trades. Since Phillip Welch's struggles, he may have to give it a go.
- On UW receivers: time to look at frosh Kraig Appleton. Maurice Moore proved that he can do a great David Gilreath impression–be a non factor and drop passes. Let's go with the young kid see what he can do. Big, fast, and highly touted…better than small, slow, and drops.
- John Clay: was he walking to holes in the second half?
- Antonio Feneuls: the ball is that oblong shaped object with the half stripes on it…look for it.
- My thoughts on Kirk Ferentz and Norm Parker…right on.
- Remember UW football when they would pound you physically with Wisconsin kids in the trenches, beat you with superb special teams, and refuse to yield defensively? Now our special teams are the worst in the conference, they affect the outcome adversely each week, and we can't get off the field on third downs. Pretty easy to see why we fail in games against superior opposition.
- On Wisconsin.
