PLYMOUTH, MA – For the sixth time in a row, BID-Plymouth has received an 'A' grade for patient safety from The Leapfrog Group--the nation's leading nonprofit watchdog on hospital quality and safety. BID-Plymouth is one of 750 hospitals in the United States awarded an "A" and shares this distinction with Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital-Milton—part of the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center family of hospitals.
"At all levels of care, we are committed to providing our patients with an extraordinary patient experience," says Donna Doherty, RN, Vice President, Patient Care Services and Chief Nursing Officer. "The Leapfrog recognition highlights the exceptional work that our nurses, physicians, hospital staff, and volunteers do every day to ensure great patient outcomes in a safe environment.
The Leapfrog Group, a Washington D.C-based organization aiming to improve health care quality and safety for consumers and purchasers, assigns an A, B, C, D or F grade to hospitals across the country based on their performance in preventing medical errors, infections and other harms among patients in their care.
"BID-Plymouth strives to be a leader in providing compassionate, safely delivered care. We are delighted that The Leapfrog Group has affirmed our efforts by giving us an "A" grade for the third year in a row," said Judy VanTilburg, RN, Senior Director, Quality and Patient Safety, BID-Plymouth.
Developed under the guidance of an expert panel, the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade uses 30 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to assign A, B, C, D and F grades to more than 2,600 U.S. hospitals twice per year. It's calculated by top patient safety experts, peer-reviewed, fully transparent and free to the public. To see our full grade, and to access consumer-friendly tips for patients, visit www.hospitalsafetygrade.org.
"This is the only national rating of how well hospitals protect patients from preventable harm and death, such as medical errors, infections, and injuries," said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. "Receiving an 'A' Safety Grade means a hospital is among the best in the country for preventing these terrible problems and putting their patients first, 24 hours a day."

A Personal Welcome
I write this with a full heart. I find myself overwhelmed with gratitude that business is more brisk than ever here at the French Estate. Why? I think maybe it's an idea whose time has come.
Starting out 18 years ago was a little intimidating. How to decorate, how to structure things, so as to please as many people as possible? I concluded that the best thing to do was please myself, and hope that it made enough clients happy to keep me in business. And it worked! Seems there are plenty of brides who are choosing to keep their wedding day fun and carefree rather than turning it into the most expensive ordeal of their lives. Lots of people who want that cozy personal feeling for their gathering but may not have a home — or nerves — equal to the task. People who are tired of turning too much money over to greedy corporations that can't be bothered to treat people kindly.
I spent years of my youth living, working and wandering in Europe, and yearned for as much of that lifestyle as possible after escaping a violent marriage and finding myself faced with the challenge of remaking my life. So I chose a really old home in a the largest historic district in California, walking distance to the heart of Old Towne Orange. Living upstairs from my business in the Old World way, and sharing my home with pets, international students, occasional displaced women who need to get on their feet, and travelers who enjoy the simple peace of old-school bed & breakfast isn't a typical SoCal lifestyle, but I love it. The French Estate has that cozy home ambiance because it has been an actual home for well over 116 years.
Einstein said coincidences are God's way of remaining anonymous. How thankful I am to have "happened" to find a place named after Judge French, a genuine character who lived here with his family for 20 years. It's been fun to take that theme and run. The French truly love the character and texture of all things aged and weatherbeaten. (After a rich full life spent largely outdoors, it's become valuable to embrace that philosophy when looking in the mirror, but I digress…) Ever wonder why historic places feel so much more charming than, say, Fantasyland? Stuff is authentically old, used and loved. It's popular to fake that vintage look, but it never feels the same.
We've hosted more than 500 weddings at this point, and roughly twice as many other gatherings of every kind from showers to day-retreats, 100th birthday parties to murder mysteries. You can feel the history of hospitality and happy memories hanging in the air. It's been a privilege to plan and celebrate with all those kindred souls — helping people to relax and have some of the best days of their lives is a pretty rewarding way to earn a living. If this philosophy appeals to you, we'd love to host you as well. Welcome to the French Estate!

Republican Sharron Angle's new TV commercial against U.S. Sen. Harry Reid accuses him of helping illegal immigrants who are taking jobs from unemployed Nevadans, a hard-hitting spot that comes as the ad wars heat up and the stakes rise in the dead heat Senate race.
"Harry Reid, the best friend an illegal alien ever had," the narrator says in the 30-second spot.
The fresh TV strike came two days after Reid released a harsh ad criticizing Angle for voting against a bill to allow police to enforce out-of-state restraining orders in domestic violence cases.
"Sharron Angle sided with the abusers and not the abused," a cop says in the ad.
The stinging attacks are the latest in the multimillion dollar on-air battle between the Democratic incumbent and Angle just one month before early voting begins on Oct. 16 in Nevada. And they come as the Reid-Angle race takes on greater significance as a key test of the Tea Party movement.
Angle is scheduled to meet with Republican leaders today in Washington, D.C., to talk strategy and raise money as she and other Tea Party primary winners try to tamp down concerns that their conservative views could hurt the GOP's effort to reclaim control of the Senate.
Angle's visit to Capitol Hill follows Tea Party pick Christine O'Donnell's win in the GOP primary in Delaware, which stunned the Republican establishment and all but assured that the Senate seat will remain Democratic come Nov. 2, according to political analysts.
As a result, Republicans would have to win just about every other highly competitive Senate race in the country — or at least 10 including Nevada — to oust the Democrats from power. That could happen only if the anti-big government Tea Party movement expands beyond the conservative GOP base and sweeps up independents in an anti-incumbent, anti-Democratic wave.
"Nevada is a must win for the Tea Party," Jennifer Duffy of the Cook Political Report said Wednesday after moving the Delaware Senate seat from "lean Republican" to "lean Democrat." "If Angle loses, then that's two Senate seats. If Tea Party candidates cost Republicans too many races in November, it's fair to say that it will have a negative impact on their long-term viability."
Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics, considers five Senate seats now held by Democrats as toss-ups: Nevada, California, Illinois, Wisconsin and Washington.
"There were 13 competitive races, and now there are 12," Sabato said. "They have to win 10 of 12, so the implication is they have to get people like Sharron Angle elected."
Nathan Gonzales of the Rothenberg Political Report said it is "tough to see" how the Republicans could win the majority without knocking off Reid. He believes Angle has some advantages not shared by some of the other Tea Party-backed challengers across the nation.
"She has run before, and she is running against Harry Reid," Gonzales said of Angle, who nearly won a congressional GOP primary in 2006. "That should bring in campaign money on its own."
The Tea Party Express, the fundraising machine behind the movement, put out a fresh appeal Wednesday for donations to back Angle and O'Donnell, calling them "two important races to focus on."
The Republican Party hierarchy also seemed to suddenly fall in line on Wednesday behind O'Donnell despite a high-profile campaign before Tuesday's primary to back Rep. Mike Castle as the best bet to beat Democrat Chris Coons in the general election.
"Let there be no mistake: The National Republican Senatorial Committee — and I personally as the committee's chairman — strongly stand by all of our Republican nominees, including Christine O'Donnell in Delaware," NRSC Chairman John Cornyn, R-Texas, said in a statement.
Cornyn said he offered O'Donnell his congratulations and support, while the NRSC is cutting her a $42,000 check, or the maximum allowed donation the NRSC says it has provided to all of its nominees.
Angle, since winning the June 8 primary in Nevada, has had no trouble raising money and has received strong backing from GOP leaders, despite initial wariness that the grass-roots campaigner wasn't ready to take on the $25 million campaign of the powerful Senate majority leader.
Angle quickly raised more than $2 million in about six weeks or so after the primary, which matched Reid's fundraising for that same quarter. Recently, Angle set a $1 million online fundraising goal for September, and she's more than halfway there at about $620,000.
The Reid-Angle race remains a dead heat, according to a series of polls that show neither the 70-year-old incumbent nor his 61-year-old challenger taking a decisive lead. Reid, who is seeking a fourth Senate term, is vulnerable because of Nevada's worst-in-the-nation economy, including a record high unemployment rate of 14.3 percent.
Angle has focused all her recent advertising on blaming Reid for the economic hard times as surveys show more people blame Democrats than Republicans for the continuing recession. Her newest ad also focuses on the economy and how an estimated 130,000 illegal immigrant workers in Nevada are taking jobs away from U.S. citizens.
"Illegals sneaking across our border, putting Americans' safety and jobs at risk," the ad narrator says as images show people crossing the border.
The ad notes that Reid opposes Arizona's tough new law that cracks down on illegal immigrants. It gives police the right to ask about someone's legal status if stopped for another suspected offense, but it's mostly on hold while the federal government sues to stop its enforcement.
The ad also accuses Reid of voting for "special tax breaks" for illegal immigrants and to give them Social Security benefits "even for the time they were here illegally." Most of the votes happened in 2006 as lawmakers debated a massive immigration reform bill, according to the Angle campaign.
Reid campaign spokesman Jon Summers countered that it was "patently false to say that Senator Reid voted to give immigrants here illegally Social Security benefits." Summers said Reid even introduced a measure declaring that such "immigrants should not receive Social Security benefits and that this prohibition should be strictly enforced."
The new Angle ad taps into growing voter anxiety about illegal workers hurting the economy. A recent poll for the Las Vegas Review-Journal shows that 54 percent of Nevadans said they believe immigrants without legal status are taking jobs away from Nevada citizens, while 31 percent said such workers fill low-wage jobs most citizens wouldn't take. Fifteen percent were undecided.
The poll of registered likely voters was taken Sept. 7-9 by Mason-Dixon.
Angle has been spending as much as $500,000 some weeks on advertising, and plans to run her latest illegal immigration commercial for at least a week statewide, according to her campaign.
Reid also has stepped up his ads targeting Angle, continuing the theme that she is too "extreme" for Nevada.
In the ad released Monday, the Reid campaign criticizes Angle for voting against a bill in 2001 that would have allowed police to enforce domestic violence restraining orders across state lines.
The bill passed 31-9 with Angle, then a Reno assemblywoman, joining her fellow Republicans in rejecting the measure. Assembly Republicans voted no over concerns that police would have to determine whether a restraining order from another state was valid or not, according to hearing records.
Duffy of the Cook Political Report said the domestic violence spot could hurt Angle with women voters, who polls show already support Reid in larger numbers than Angle.
In a separate TV spot, the Reid campaign on Friday released an ad criticizing Angle for suggesting Yucca Mountain be developed into a nuclear fuel reprocessing site.
Reid has for years blocked the federal government from shipping the nation's nuclear waste to the Yucca site, about 100 miles from Las Vegas. But Angle and other Republicans argue that it's time to look into developing the site and creating thousands of jobs.
Reid, who has plenty of money to spend, must keep the focus off an economy that doesn't appear to be on the way to recovery any time soon.
His recent ad blaming the George W. Bush administration, Wall Street and high oil prices for the economic troubles didn't seem to resonate with voters, although most experts also point the finger at the GOP.
"There's no good argument on the economy, so why try," Cook said of Reid's ad strategy.

Distr. GENERAL
5 January 1994
Original: ENGLISH
Concluding observations of the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights
1. The Committee considered the second periodic report of Germany (E/1990/7/Add.12) concerning the rights covered by articles 13 to 15 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights at its 35th and 36th meetings, held on 30 November and 1 December 1993 and adopted [*] the following comments:
2. The Committee expresses its appreciation to the State party for the detailed report submitted which was however only up-to-date as of 1989. The Committee also notes with regret that the State party was not able to appear before it as originally scheduled at its eighth session.
3. The Committee notes that the German delegation was able to respond to many, but not all, of the written questions contained in the list of issues prepared in connection with the consideration of the report as well as to most of the oral questions raised by the Committee members during the debate. It points out, nevertheless, that more information would be necessary with regard to the effects of the recent German unification on education and the problems resulting from it.
4. The Committee takes note also of the commitment taken by the German Government to submit shortly in a "core document" general information concerning the State party.
5. The Committee welcomes the efforts undertaken by the Government of Germany to implement the rights recognized in articles 13 and 15 of the Covenant.
6. The Committee welcomes, in particular, the efforts made by the Government of Germany to provide adequate general and vocational education for migrants living in Germany.
7. In addition, the Committee takes note of the measures which are being taken by the German authorities with regard to persons of German origin coming from other countries.
8. The Committee has taken note of the comprehensive explanations provided by the German delegation concerning the conditions of employment in the public service of personnel of the former German Democratic Republic, especially teachers, and the reasons for dismissing some of them. However, the Committee points out that concerns about discrimination in employment of teachers of the new Länders have been raised by the ILO Committee of Experts on the Application of Conventions and Recommendations in its 1993 report to the International Labour Conference. In addition, similar concerns have been raised by a non-governmental organization. The Committee recalls, in that connection, that access to and conditions of employment should be based strictly on objective criteria relating to work in accordance with the Covenant and ILO Convention No. 111: Discrimination (Employment and Occupation), 1958 and that discrimination in employment on the ground of political opinion should be explicitly prohibited under the law.
9. In addition, the Committee expresses concern over the disparity which appears to exist in Germany between men and women with regard to educational achievements and the participation of women in all levels of education and professional careers, despite the efforts made by the German authorities.
10. The Committee recommends that positive action be taken by the German authorities to guarantee ideologiocal pluralism in education and equality of opportunities of men and women in that field in accordance with the relevant provisions of the International Covenants on Human Rights.
11. The Committee recommends also that the next periodic report of Germany relating to articles 1 to 15 of the Covenant include information on the effects of the unification of the country on education and, in particular, updated statistical data on budgetary allocations and expenditures relating to educational and cultural activities. It should also indicate whether differences exist between the cultural development and the level of education of the new Länders and the other parts of the country and, if so, what special measures have been taken in that regard. More information would also be welcome on measures adopted to ensure the development and dissemination of science and of culture, in particular, through the media. In addition, information should be provided on measures taken to facilitate the access and the participation of the elderly in educational programmes and the cultural life of the country.
12. The Committee requests that the German authorities should respect the rights of teachers, professors and other educational personnel of the former German Democratic Republic so that they may continue to exercise their professional activities and to participate to the fullest possible extent in cultural life without any discrimination.
13. The Committee urges the State party to accord the equal treatment to both of the International Human Rights Covenants in relation to human rights education in school curricula as well as mass media information and dissemination.
* At the 46th meeting (ninth session), held on 8 December 1993.

As the Bush-Cheney administration enters its final 18 months, the White House is getting competition from the U.S. Supreme Court for status as greatest threat to the Constitution and the nation for which it is supposed to serve as a blueprint.
In recent weeks, the court headed by Bush-appointee John Roberts has attacked the sort of individual free speech that the Bill or Rights was written to protect while expanding the ability of corporations to warp and dominate the political debate. It has rolled back basic civil rights protections, especially in the area of public education. And it opened the way for the renewal of the sort of business combinations that the anti-trust and anti-monopoly laws of the past century were designed to prevent.
In other words, the court has gotten just about everything wrong — so wrong that its rational members have begun to express disbelief with regard to the extremism of the new activist majority.
Make no mistake: Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Samuel Alito Jr., Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas are right-wing judicial activists who seek to use the court to legislate from the bench. Rather than interpreting the law, they are taking up cases with an eye toward advancing a political agenda. It is an agenda that is in conflict with established law, the will of the American people and the intentions of the founders. And when the relatively more moderate Justice Anthony Kennedy joins them to form a five-member majority on the court, Roberts and his judicial wrecking crew is free to attack the Constitution without restraint or mercy.
There is no question that the court is a reflection of the Bush-Cheney White House. The president's appointments of Roberts and Alito have tipped the balance far to the right, making the court's most extremist member, Scalia, a frequently definitional player.
But this court will not disband when George Bush and Dick Cheney leave Washington. Like the Iraq quagmire and the nation's battered manufacturing sector, it is the mess that the president and vice president will leave behind. And it will continue to do damage to the Republic, as Roberts and his activist acolytes are determined to continue attacking civil rights, civil liberties and, above all, regulations on the corporate sector to which they owe their highest loyalty.
What can conscientious citizens do? First, they must recognize that the federal courts are, by design and in practice, rigidly anti-democratic institutions. Judges are not elected but appointed. And they are appointed not for terms that might make them accountable but for life. During the Progressive Era, when the anti-trust laws the court is now targeting were developed, visionary leaders such as Wisconsin Senator Robert M. La Follette, warned of the danger posed by powerful but unaccountable federal jurists who made up what progressives referred to as America's "Judicial Oligarchy."

Alsager Chronicle Article – Thurs 16th June 2016
Many of you will have seen the front page newspaper article entitled "Council criticised in neighbourhood plan consultation" in Thursday's edition of the Alsager Chronicle and wondered what on earth is going on.
One Councillor is reported to be "quite disappointed that it has been perceived that there is a proxy war over who controls Alsager"… and later said …"there was a lot of time spent on scoring points over ARAG (Alsager Residents Action Group) than looking at the points in the report. I am disappointed there was not more debate on the report as it contained some interesting stuff." The report being considered was the Community Consultation Report produced by Cheshire Community Action and paid for the Town Council as part of their process for producing a Neigbourhood Plan. The report can be seen in full by clicking here.
The newspaper article goes on to say that "In an original, unaltered version of the report seen by the Chronicle, Cheshire Community Action said that ARAG had "strongly influenced this consultation process and its negative focus will not help encourage people to come forward and support initiatives from the town council." This 'unaltered' copy of the report can be seen here.
Reference to this 'unaltered' report will show that Observation 2, on page 17, claims that several attendees at drop-in events had reported that a local group called ARAG had either told them what to write on their survey response or told them not to attend the drop-in events. When contacted by ARAG's Vice Chairman, the report's author (John Heselwood) told him that 'one or two' people had said this.
You will be aware that ARAG simply put out a single post, entitled 'Too Little – Too Late', (still accessible on our web site) which simply recorded the observation and questions put to us by many local residents. No ARAG officer or spokesperson has made any statement of the kind referred to in the 'unaltered' report and we await evidence to support such claims.
Finally, only 6% of residents responded to the survey but the Town Council have decided to press on anyway and have budgeted for up to £25,000 in costs.

A new pizza sheriff is in town. Notable gourmand and man-about-restaurants, James Yu, has been doing few pop-ups featuring deep-dish Chicago pizza, something he should know well considering he hails from the Windy City. Check out Windy City Pizza on Facebook for future dates and locations. But be aware: the pizza goes away faster than the Cubs' playoff hopes.
The amount of quality pho around the city has been on the rise. Gyungridan's Pho for You has joined the beef broth wave. This restaurant differentiates itself by being "Cali-style" pho and maybe be just the thing pho-starved Americans have been searching for. The broth is heavier and the meat is meatier. Rooster sauce is available but not necessary.
Trips to immigration just got a lot more palatable: noted expat foodman, Joe McPherson, has just opened a BBQ restaurant properly dubbed McPherson's BBQ Pub near Omokgyo Station on Line 5. Pulled pork looks set to be the star and McPherson will draw on all of his Alabaman roots to make sure you leave fat and happy. Also, word has it that elusive pimento cheese is on offer for wistful American southerners.

text: So I've been searching and tweaking for two days now but no luck so far... Here is what I want: I have created a loginscript (loginhook) which runs some processes. These processes sometimes take a while. As the Apple support pages says: "Other login actions wait until the hook has completely executed." So sometimes a user has to wait a minute or two until he sees the desktop. What I want is that the loginhook somehow shows the user what it's doing. What I tried was writing the status to the LoginwindowText like this: Code: defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow LoginwindowText "the status of the loginhook" Unfortunately this doesn't work. Because these changes take effect after logout or reboot. Is there a way to "reload" the loginwindow or the com.apple.loginwindow.plist? If that's not possible is there an other way to somehow display custom text during login?

In addition to this.
Teddy of course ;)
Onto my recipe of the week!
What I'm about to share is actually something I've been drizzling on top of my low carb protein pancakes...
- 1 1/2 scoops Chocolate Protein Powder (brand of choice)
- 2 tbsp Cocoa Powder
- 1/4 cup water (enough to get it thick and gooey)
- 1 (or 2) packets of Stevia or a few drops of sweetener of choice (I use NOW Vanilla Stevia)
- 1 tsp ground flax or chia seeds (optional)
- Mix ingredients together in a small bowl or mug
- Enjoy as is or, refrigerate for 1 hour or, freeze for 2 hours.
- The consistency changes as you enjoy mixed, refrigerated or when frozen. My fave is when it's frozen because it's like ice cream.

Brigitte Bardot, au revoir. In 1969, a sculptor named Aslan created a bust of the actress as ``Marianne,'' the symbol of the French Republic. Mayors across the country rushed to install copies in their offices.
But now Bardot has been spurned for a more modern image of Marianne -- Catherine Deneuve.
The origin of Marianne dates from the French Revolution. Some say that opponents used the name -- common then in the French working class -- to dismiss the revolutionary masses.
Whatever her true beginnings, Marianne became the symbol of the new Republic. And through three monarchical restorations, a German occupation, and five Republics, Marianne has retained her pull on the French heart.
Throughout the years, there have been numerous renderings of the image -- the most famous being the that of the artist Delacroix. At least a hundred different busts of Marianne exist, according to Pierre Bonte, a radio talk-show host who started the idea of rejuvenating Marianne.
After deciding that a new rendering was needed, Mr. Bonte asked his listeners to nominate their favorite model, then had his radio station organize a public opinion poll. Deneuve won hands down.
The Ministry of Culture then offered 24 sculptors the chance to create Deneuve-as-Marianne busts from photos. The various creations went on display last month at the Paris m'etro station under the Bastille. A work by sculptor Mireille Polska was chosen as the winner. Copies for their offices will cost France's mayors about $300 apiece.

Market Insights
As the prevalence of cancer is on perpetual growth, the corresponding rise in quality of cancer care has resulted in emergence of treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy. However, such cytotoxic treatment procedures also have brought a range of side effects that interfere with seamless treatment outcomes and quality of life of the patients. This has led to emergence of cancer supportive in order to improve treatment outcomes by efficiently managing side-effects. Several drugs have been successfully commercialized to treat a host of symptoms such as chemotherapy induced anemia, nausea and vomiting, neutropenia, and others.
Continuous rise in incidence of cancers of all forms will be the most prominent driver supporting the demand for cancer supportive products. Moreover, rising effectiveness and potency of novel cancer drugs have brought with them a range of side-effects that interfere with the overall wellbeing and quality of life of the patients; this will further drive the demand for more novel supportive care drugs. In addition, auxiliary factors such as growing awareness among patients and caregivers and improving reimbursements for cancer treatments, particularly in the developing countries will open additional avenues in the untapped markets of Asia Pacific and Middle East and Africa. Furthermore, consistent innovation in supportive care drugs and their rapid commercialization with competitive prices will serve as a potential opportunity for the manufacturers of cancer supportive care products in the international markets.
Among the major cancer types considered in this study, lung cancer remains the most prominent cancer type where the demand for supportive care drugs is the highest. Higher incidence of the disease remains the major driver supporting the demand for cancer supportive care drugs in this segment. On the other hand, phenomenal rise in the incidence of breast cancer across all geographies, and improving survival rates render the fastest growth rate to breast cancer segment through the forecast period.

Based on geographical distribution, North America is the largest market for cancer supportive care products. Domicile of several major drug manufacturers in the U.S. along with best in class reimbursement facilitate the dominance of North America on the global front. Additionally, significant rise in incidence of all forms of cancer in emerging economies of Asia Pacific, and growing commercialization of novel cancer treatments in the region make Asia Pacific the fastest developing regional market for cancer supportive care drugs.

My suggestion is to use some sort of leather protection on it (you can buy them from most supermarkets) - but the idea of tanned leather is that it ages and softens over time, part of that is accruing scratches, dirt and grime. It adds to the overall appeal as it ages. Hope that helps!

The spirit of Monterey lives in greener eventsThe 40th anniversary of the Monterey International Pop Festival is this week. It was the mother of all festivals (the Human Be-In in nearby San Francisco six months earlier would be the grandmother) and would punctuate both the Summer of Love and the amazing year of 1967.
Among the many things we learned that year was that life is short, but you could do eternally cool things in that short time; Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin's mainstream public existence would only be three years, Brian Jones' five and Otis Redding had just six months. The year also taught to us that by American Indian and Eastern philosophy, no matter how short an individual's life is, the planet continues to function for succeeding generations. And how well it functions depends on how much we screw it up.
Forty years later, we finally seem to be getting it.
Reverb, a nonprofit started by Adam Gardner and Lauren Sullivan, spends its time "greening" concert tours, following Bonnie Raitt's example. Willie Nelson's BioWillie biodiesel company will (we predict) influence virtually every tour to travel green within five years. MusicMatters introduced "carbon offsetting" — planting trees and supporting alternative sustainable energy sources equal to your sins of emission.
The Vans Warped Tour is using solar-powered sound. Bonnaroo is giving prizes for recycling. The Hove Festival in Norway has pledged 100% carbon neutrality. Last week's Wakarusa Festival in Lawrence, Kan., included a sustainability symposium.
And on it goes.
It feels like a paradigm shift, folks — one of the best ever, and there's no going back. Festivals are now putting into practice what was implicit in the spirit of Monterey.
And maybe we're starting to act like the responsible Human Be-Ins the Indians always hoped we become.


text: Hey, this is my first post on this forum but I have been lurking forever. No, I don't have anything substantial to contribute except this very funny niche... get ready for this... Get rid of stripper stank! That's right, now you can rid yourself of the dreaded gooey mess of all night drinking and lap dances. Preview: Random Thoughts on Strippers Trying to have a normal conversation during a lap dance is seriously weak-sauce. She is grinding and dry humping your shit and you want to talk about college and the weather? If you wear slacks to the strip club, the lap dances will be a lot more fun. But if you can't control yourself, everyone is gonna be able to tell. If you hire strippers off Craigslist, there is a good chance they will a) be nasty and b) do some illegal shit that's gonna cost you extra. Don't eat the food at the strip club. That isn't why you're there. You gonna get a lap dance while you eat your chicken wings? The strip club has got to be the worst place on earth to get drunk. The drinks are twice the price and the ATM dispenses hundred-dollar bills. Hmm . . . let's see. What do I do with the change? Lap dance! Buying your way into the backroom will cost you lots of money and it will be lots of fun. But at the end of the night, you will be the one jerking yourself off?not her. Yes, dating a stripper could be fun. It could be wild and crazy or just complicated and weird. Just ask the guy staring intently at you from the bar. Yeah, the one who looks uncomfortable and angry. He's a little on edge because his girlfriend is giving you a lap dance and you keep trying to grab her ass. =============================================== This is not my site, and is not monetized as far as I can tell, so I will just post the link: http://www.getridofthings.com/get-rid-of-stripper-stank.htm

When I first heard an acquaintance describe how she packed up her family and her very traditional Thanksgiving dinner -- roast turkey, hot gravy, mashed potatoes and all -- then drove to the Upper Keys, where they dined on a picnic table under the trees, I thought it was the wackiest idea I`d ever heard.
It is a rule carved in stone that Thanksgiving dinner must be eaten at the dining room table, with candles, flowers, white cloth and a decent bottle of wine.
Or so I used to think, until a few years ago during one of those family discussions. (``Well, where are we having Thanksgiving this year?`` . . . ``We could come here but my parents are going to be in town.``. . . ``You had it last year; why don`t we do it this year?``)
I heard myself suggesting that we all cook whatever we usually cooked for Thanksgiving, pack it all up and take it out to one of the county parks and eat dinner under the trees.
And so we did.
Well, in-laws invited their in-laws. Kids had friends with no place to spend the holiday, and invited them. That first year, 40 people showed up.
Several family members got to the park a couple of hours early to pull together several benches and run ribbon from tree to tree to mark out an area big enough to accommodate the crowd.
There were a couple of roast turkeys and, yes, hot gravy and mashed potatoes. Somebody brought a ham and one fisherman brought a cooler full of chunks of fresh grouper and snapper, which he grilled over the fire. Sitting under the cypress trees of John Easterlin Park in Oakland Park, we stuffed ourselves with coleslaw and sweet potato casserole and pumpkin pie.
We got up a volleyball game and played horsehoes, and a bunch of relatives of in-laws whom I had never met played bocci all afternoon.

In Renoir's painting In the Meadow, he painted two girls that are wearing beautiful, long, light -colored dresses. You can even see vertical lines in the trees. The soft colors he use gives a calm relaxed mood to his painting. He uses feathery strokes giving a soft texture to his painting. The scenery is somewhere in the woods and once again in the trees and in the grass we see his use of light colors with the soft browns and greens.

Once upon a time there was a very mean king named King Tut and his generous queen named Jenny. One day they saw a sandstorm coming in Egypt so they left with all their jewels and precious stuff. The servant saw that they were gone, so he went to go warn the other people that they left on a long walk from Egypt. They went to go write on the wall in their kind of writing that the king had left on a long journey and the king was going in the wrong direction. (continued…)
He died in the sandstorm, so the Egyptians had to mummify him in one room with all of his belongings. The Egyptians had to find a new mean king and generous queen. So the mean king Tutankhamen and the generous queen named Jennifer married each other and lived happily ever after.

Maggie Siff is pregnant.
The Sons of Anarchy actress is expecting her first child with her husband, her rep confirms to PEOPLE.
Aside from her role as Dr. Tara Knowles-Teller on the FX series, the 39-year-old also played department store heiress Rachel Menken Katz on Mad Men.
In an interview with musician Dave Navarro in Interview, Siff revealed that she often finds it challenging to balance her personal life with her professional life, recalling a time she turned down work to go on her honeymoon.
"It took a lot of strength — even though it was something I was really interested in — to say, 'You know what, I'm going to get married and I'm going to have a honeymoon,' and absolutely carve that out in stone," she said.
"The feeling of passion — and addiction, actually — that you end up having for the task of performing or creatively expressing yourself is so powerful that sometimes it's even hard to say, 'No, I deserve to have a honeymoon in this life.' It's still a bit shocking to me."
News of Siff's pregnancy was first reported on Playbill.

He was smiling. He wasn't mumbling.
"It's a different story in the playoffs," he said. "It's a new season. You get a new life. The regular season's over. It's postseason, it's October. The whole playoff atmosphere is exciting."
Billingsley was named the fourth and final member of the Dodgers' rotation in the National League division series that starts tonight against St. Louis. Vicente Padilla will start Game 3.
Billingsley on Monday threw 82 pitches in a simulated game at the Dodgers' spring training complex in Arizona.
While he remains winless since Aug. 18 -- he beat the Cardinals that day -- Billingsley said he was encouraged by his last two starts. He gave up five earned runs in 12 innings in those games.

Texas officials immediately appealed the ruling, and the case could eventually head to the U.S. Supreme Court. District Judge Lee Yeakel blocked one part of the restriction, while allowing another provision to stand. Yeakel ruled that a state provision that requires doctors performing abortions to have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of the abortion facility "places a substantial obstacle in the path of a woman seeking an abortion of a nonviable fetus."

Most college students are allergic to studying on weekends it seems. Students avoid studying on Friday and Saturday nights like the black plague. If you are a grad student and particularly a med student you have no choice. I am not sure how everyone else spends their Saturday nights, but I have a stack of books to prove that I spent my time reading (lame I know). When my wife has to study on a Saturday night (aka every Saturday night) I use it to my advantage. I don't spend my time watching TV or twiddling my thumbs. I like to use that time to improve myself as well. Join a gym, learn to love reading, take up a hobby, learn a new language, I am. Hola! I have gotten very far as you can see. Studying ALL THE TIME is a part of being a med student and you will have to get use to giving up your free time for your studies. If you are a loved one of a med student don't feel sorry for yourself or your loved one. This is a chance to expand your mind while they are studying. When my wife found out I was taking a mostly online course this year she was ecstatic proclaiming "Now you can study with me!" Indeed I can. I strongly suggest shutting of the TV and making a list of things you would like to do to improve yourself. I have a couple suggestion below:
- Workout
- Learn to make a new food dish
- Learn a new language
- Take a class online
- Blog
- Take on a hobby
- Pay your bills
- Start a social club or join one

November 02, 2012 18:44 ET
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Nov. 2, 2012) -
Fortress Paper Ltd. (TSX:FTP) ("Fortress Paper" or the "Company") reported 2012 third quarter EBITDA loss of $6.4 million. For the second quarter of 2012, EBITDA was $2.3 million and for the third quarter of 2011, EBITDA loss was $0.8 million.
Excluding corporate costs, the three business segments' combined EBITDA loss was $5.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2012. The Specialty Papers Segment contributed $8.3 million EBITDA, while the Dissolving Pulp Segment and the Security Paper Products Segment generated EBITDA losses of $5.6 million and $8.0 million, respectively. Corporate costs contributed to EBITDA loss in the amount of $1.1 million.
Net loss for the third quarter of 2012 was $18.9 million or basic and diluted net loss of $1.31 per share. In the prior quarter, net income was $12.5 million or diluted net income per share of $0.83. In the prior year comparative period, net loss was $7.2 million or basic and diluted net loss per share of $0.51. The current period result was significantly lower compared to the previous quarter due in part to the gain realized in the prior quarter on the sale of certain non-core assets in the Security Paper Products Segment and the scheduled annual extended shutdown for maintenance as well as an unplanned shutdown due to a recovery boiler issue in the Dissolving Pulp Segment in the third quarter of 2012.
Management's Outlook
Dissolving Pulp Segment
The Fortress Specialty Cellulose mill continued to ramp up dissolving pulp production during the third quarter of 2012. A comprehensive seven day planned annual extended maintenance shutdown was completed towards the end of the quarter. Maintenance expense for the shutdown was approximately $3.5 million. As a result of an unplanned shutdown due to repairs required to the recovery boiler and slower than expected ramp-up, production was impacted. With the annual maintenance completed, the Company anticipates continued progress towards full capacity. During the shutdown, all process and high voltage tie-ins were completed for the new cogeneration facility. Production for the quarter exceeded sales by approximately 4,500 air dried metric tonnes as various trials were completed and product was held for testing. This inventory build is expected to be sold in the fourth quarter.
The net 18.8 megawatts cogeneration project is nearing completion with overall progress at approximately 76%. The new boiler has passed hydrostatic testing. Turbine tests are expected to commence in late November and power generation connectivity to the electrical grid is expected in January 2013. Projected final costs are expected to be approximately $100 million excluding contingencies.
The Fortress Global Cellulose mill project continues to progress substantially as planned on all fronts. Detailed engineering and process design continues for the conversion to dissolving pulp production and commitments have been made for major long-delivery equipment required for the conversion. On-site, the workforce is refurbishing the plant and equipment to bring the asset to full operational condition and preparing the assets for the upcoming winter.
Dissolving pulp markets softened during the third quarter due to weak textile demand and increased supply of dissolving pulp from new entrants. Among other factors, the weakening viscose staple fibre market in China has driven down dissolving pulp prices to below US$1,000 as at the end of September 2012. Given existing market conditions and in order to maintain good customer relations, a significant portion of our sales orders for the fourth quarter is expected to be below the floor prices set forth in our supply agreements with our three major Chinese purchasers. These supply agreements are currently under review with the counterparties to reassess each party's obligations going forward.
Specialty Papers Segment
The Specialty Papers Segment continues to perform well. The capital expenditure plan for 2012 was successfully completed during the general maintenance shutdown in August. The Dresden mill has now reached a manufacturing capacity of 60,000 tonnes per annum of non-woven wallpaper base.
Management believes that market demand will continue to be strong in the coming years. The displacement of traditional paper-based wallpaper with non-woven wallpaper base appears to be progressing faster than originally anticipated.
Security Paper Products Segment
Market conditions for security papers remain difficult. Cotton and other raw material costs have stabilized compared to the extreme volatility experienced from their historic highs of 2011. The Swiss franc appreciation against the Euro has abated due to Swiss National Bank intervention, however, the strength of the Swiss Franc has been a disadvantage to the Landqart mill in terms of costs and expenses as the Euro is the principal trading currency for the mill. Overcapacity continues to be an issue in the banknote paper market. The fierce competition for orders has led to a significant erosion of banknote prices and margins during 2012. Significant tenders in the near term should absorb some of the excess capacity. These less than favourable conditions have impacted the results of the Security Paper Products Segment.
There have been some positive developments such as new customers and the first order of substrate that included optically variable thin material. Interest in Landqart's composite substrate, "Durasafe", remains strong. A small order has successfully been produced and is now being printed with the expectation for these banknotes to be issued before the end of the year and becoming the first Durasafe banknotes in circulation.
The Landqart mill continues to produce banknote paper for its most substantial contract, which had previously been in abeyance earlier this year, with four deliveries to date. This long running contract should contribute to the optimization of the mill's operational efficiency over the next year.
Selected Financial Information
The selected financial information presented herein is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read in conjunction with, our unaudited consolidated financial statements as at and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and the related notes thereon and our Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") filed on SEDAR.
The Company

Skating legend Robin Cousins will swap the ice rink for the stage to guest star as Teen Angel in the smash hit musical Grease for its limited one-week season in Nottingham.
The former Olympic champion and Dancing on Ice judge will leave audiences hopelessly devoted to his charms when Grease rocks into the Royal Concert Hall from April 10-14.
Following its electrifying four-year London run, and for the first time in over five years, the hit West End show began a new tour last spring.
Back by popular demand, Grease premiered at the Edinburgh Playhouse on May 6, 2011 and has since played venues throughout the UK and Ireland. Grease will continue to rock 'n' roll around the UK in 2012.
Danny Bayne stars as Danny with Carina Gillespie as his sweetheart Sandy, as the couple follow in the footsteps of John Travolta and Olivia Newton John, who famously played the roles in the hit 1978 movie.
Bristol-born Robin Cousins is one of Britain's most famous and best-loved individual ice skaters. He retired from the ice rink in 2000, after 30 years on the ice and 20 years of professional skating.
During his highly successful career, Robin won the World Free Skating Championship Gold medal three times ('78, '79, '80) and rose to the top in 1980, winning World Championship Silver and capping his amateur career with the European Championship and Olympic Gold medals. He was awarded the M.B.E. that year for his services to sport and skating, and more recently was made an Official Team GB Ambassador for the London 2012 Olympic Games.
This production originally opened in the West End in 1993 (co-produced with Robert Stigwood) where it enjoyed a fantastic run of six years. The last international tour of Grease was a phenomenal success, playing to sell-out audiences and smashing records at many venues. Since 1993 the show has been seen by audiences totalling over 12 million people in the UK alone.
Ticket prices to see Grease at the Royal Concert Hall are £12.50-£32.50. Call the box office for more details on 0115 989 5555.

Meet "Brownie"
Main Photo © Seb Schieck/Specialized
When most road cyclists think of the fastest downhill mountain bikers in the world the image that typically comes to mind is the polar opposite of the serious roadie. The truth is that these athletes spend quite a bit of time wearing Lycra riding road bikes as they train to improve their endurance. Chief among these athletes is UCI Downhill Mountain Bike World Champion, Loïc Bruni. We caught up with Loïc between World Cup rounds to learn how he uses his road bike for training as well as what his thoughts are on road disc brakes, electronic shifting, who inspires him, and a lot more.
When and how did you start riding?
I started with my dad when I was a little kid and then followed him everywhere. I made friends and we just kept riding and loved it until nowadays.Photo © Seb Schieck/Specialized
What three words describe you the best as a person?
Emotional, thoughtful, simple.
How much time do you spend training on your road bike? And what role does road riding play in your training regimen?
Most of it is in the winter, twice a week, longer rides early off-season and then short trainings as the season approaches. It is short compared to real roadies, but more based on power. It's a good way to train and to feel your fitness.
Can you tell us about the specific workouts you do on your road bike?
I do three-hour rides until late November, then long intervals, and then it gets more and more intense. I do a lot of training based on sprints and resistance.
Where's your favourite place to train on your road bike?Loïc Bruni's SRAM RED eTap-equipped Specialized S-Works Venge Vias Photo © Seb Schieck/Specialized
The road bike is not as fun as the MTB, but you can enjoy the landscapes more. Where I live, in the south of France I have the best roads and views. I love going to little villages like Tourettes Sur Loup near my house.
How does SRAM RED eTap compare to mechanical shifting in your opinion? And what do you like most about eTap?
It is so sick! When I first got it I thought I'd be lost, but the system is so instinctive and easy to use. I directly knew how to shift up and down. The precision is crazy and the smoothness is too. I love it, and having no wires looks so beautiful on my Venge.

What are your thoughts about disc brakes on road bikes?
When I was younger I wondered why it did not exist, just as on bmx bikes, but now we have it. It's so much safer I would say. And you can push the speed more on the downhills.
Who inspires you either athletically or personally?
A lot of people. Every time I meet someone there's a kind of admiration. I particularly admire my team manager Laurent, and athletes like Ryan Dungey, or Fabien Barel, people working hard and promoting their faith. But also guys like [Ken] Roczen that know how to train and still enjoy the good things of life.

Where do you see yourself at age 60? Still riding your bike?
Yeah. I want to stay fit as long as I can. I would like to have built a beautiful family and to share things I love with my friends. I don't know where in the world, but far from the people ruining our society.
What's your favorite meal?
Crêpes au Nutella.
Where does your nickname "Brownie" come from?
Blenky [Sam Blenkinsop] and some Kiwis, they just can't say my name properly. Haha!
Photo © Sven Martin
What's your best memory on the bike?
I have heaps, but for a race, probably something like the last World Cup; being able to ride wellstraight after an injury.
If you were not a pro rider what would you do for a living?
I would like to be a student having a nice life with cool activities, and become good at cooking and managing a business like a club or something where I don't get bored. But I'm still a lonely person so I don't know.
Any off the bike hobbies?
Motocross and music. I love when I get to see my good mates too.
What's something we don't know about you?
Everything Haha! Nah, I'm a pussy when it comes to jumping in the water from high cliffs!

Sensear is an Australia-based world leader in the development and manufacture of high noise communication headsets that are employed in harsh environments.
The company has announced the completion of a private funding round supported by existing shareholders and totalling $7.1 million.
Sydney-based private investment firm Exto Partners managed the capital raising.
The capital infusion will be used to strengthen global sales growth and further enhance Sensear's award-winning technology and products capabilities.
"In a tough market for any emerging technology company, Sensear has continued to prosper, to which we thank our stable base of shareholders and customers for their continued support," said Justin Miller, the now San Francisco-based Sensear co-founder and CEO.
Sensear's products are deployed in some of the harshest and noisiest of environments by big companies worldwide.
From ice runways in Antartica and shipyards in the UK to the mine sites of Chile, Sensear is now being sold and supported via a network of hundreds of safety distributors, two-way radio dealers and communication resellers from around the globe.
"We are seeing an increasing demand for high quality communication devices that protect people in noisy environments. The rapid growth in the distribution opportunities for Sensear products, driven by strong demand from some of the world's largest and most successful industrial companies, gives us confidence that Sensear's pace of growth will continue," said Peter Hammond, Managing Director of Exto Partners.
Sensear is also enabling the convergence of hearing protection with all forms of communication and situational awareness.
Mr. Millers adds, "Our customers are very thankful for the Sensear breakthrough. The traditional big suppliers of hearing protection haven't really listened to the market, as hearing protectors that don't allow you to safely hear your surroundings or communicate are akin to safety glasses that impair your vision or a safety boot that doesn't allow you to walk. Sensear is changing the way workers are now able to safely communicate at high noise job sites and importantly, it is having a profound effect on their wellbeing and productivity. It's a win for employees and employers alike."

Mexican mainstay celebrates 50 years on Pearl
By Anindita Dasgupta
Carlos Majorman did not bring a family with him when he came to the U.S. more than 50 years ago. Instead, he established what is likely the citys oldest Mexican restaurant, Pancho Magico, where patrons still talk about the kind and handsome restaurateur.
Older customers reminisce about Majorman, who trusted his customers enough that he never accepted checks. He knew they would pay at the register when they had the money. Restaurant manager Jose Avila explained that Majorman didnt come to the U.S. with any family, nor did he leave behind any photos of his life. Instead, he left Pancho Magico and its patrons. His customers were his family, said Avila.
Majormans restaurant, Pancho Magico, changed from its original name Don Pancho in 1996, celebrated its 50th anniversary on June 28 with a private party at their 213 Pearl St. residence.
The restaurants history dates back to 1956, when, according to directory listings, the German-Mexican Majorman opened Don Pancho, which he named after the Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa. Majorman, who owned the restaurant for at least 40 years, was one of many restaurateurs opening Spanish and Mexican eateries. Two of the oldest of these restaurants, El Charro, and El Faro, were established in the West Village in the 1920s. However, these restaurants, in addition to many of their surrounding competitors, changed their cuisine and décor to Spanish due to the large influx of refugees in the West Village during the Spanish Civil War. Despite the changing environment, through his own ties and love for Mexico, Majorman kept Don Pancho a Mexican restaurant through its cuisine, décor, chef and staff.
Since 1956, the restaurant has changed hands and names a few times. Today the restaurant is owned and managed by the Avila brothers, Jose and Arcadio the chefs hired by Majorman 30 years ago. The Avila family will also be celebrating the 10-year anniversary of their management of the restaurant. The Avila family has kept most of the restaurants original ambiance, except for adding Magico into their restaurants name to recognize the magic of the restaurants survival. The restaurant still features and uses its original small booths, and ceiling and light fixtures. While there have been a few alterations to the menu, such as a small Spanish cuisine section, and the obvious change in prices since 1956, the Mexican cuisine has survived. With the exceptions of some recent construction, even the exterior of the restaurant on Pearl St. has remained unchanged, said Jose. Now, loyal patrons travel as far from New Jersey to enjoy their favorite Mexican food.
Patrons enjoy traditional Mexican favorites such as hot tamales, and jarritos (Mexican soda) as well as Pancho Magico specialties like enchiladas suizas and the Mexplosion burrito, in the small restaurant decorated with red and white table cloths and Mexican prints of Frida Kahlo on the walls.
Among the original cramped wooden booths and small wooden tables, the Avila brothers create their own community of patrons, just as Majorman did before them. Arcadio, who has been with the restaurant for more than 30 years, continues Majormans legacy through their mutual friends and cuisine, and Jose graciously welcomes anyone who enters the restaurant with his warm smile, remembering their favorite drinks and dishes and eager to please. He talks of their many Indian customers and their penchants for vegetables. They give me new ideas [for dishes], he said with a chuckle.

National Park Proposal
Proposal for Helena and Aurora Range, Bungalbin to be gazetted as a Class A National Park
On the 15 October 2013 a proposal for Helena and Aurora
Range, Bungalbin to be gazetted as a Class A National Park
was launched
The document was prepared by The Wilderness Society (TWS), Helena and Aurora Range Advocates (HARA) and the Wildflower Society of Western Australia (WSWA).
The proposed boundary for the Helena and Aurora Range, Bungalbin National Park is shown in the map below. It differs from the Helena and Aurora Range Conservation Park (vested in 2005) in that it includes all of the low ranges heading out to the north west from the main range (therefore including Jackson 4, J4 deposit) as well as Aurora mining tenement to the south and that it does not include part of the Die Hardy Range. The proposed National Park boundary is open for further review based on conservation and Indigenous Heritage values.
The proposal includes details on the Class A National Park proposal, presents the heritage values of Helena and Aurora Range, Bungalbin (as far as is known to date) as well as a summary of the history of efforts to conserve and protect the range (until 2010), that began when its high conservation values became known in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Plus there are plenty of great photos.
A copy of the proposal document can be obtained by clicking on the image of the report cover page - to the right.
