Nurses are staying in York as out-of-state staffing agencies float big benefits
Hospitals in York County say nurses aren't leaving in droves despite staffing agencies dangling a range of incentives to work in coronvirus hot spots such as New York.
Anticipated nurse shortages to handle the influx of COVID-19 patients have been discussed nationwide. But it's been an urgent concern in areas such as New York, which as of Thursday reported 149,316 cases and 6,268 deaths.
In response, staffing agencies have advertised increased pay and benefits to bring in nurses from around the country.
But so far, York County nurses haven't taken the bait as the state Department of Health on Thursday reported a third local virus-related death.
"We have not experienced a loss in nursing staff to other states," UPMC spokeswoman Kelly McCall, adding that UPMC has promised all staff that they will be paid at their current rate even if they are assigned to alternative work.

More:York County sees 2nd virus-related death, details remain unknown
The benefits of moving to hard-hit states could be tempting for some.
Staffing agency NuWest, for example, has offered to pay out-of-state nurses who opt to work in New York up to $10,000 in hazard pay, relocation bonuses and tax-free housing and food, CNBC has reported.
WellSpan Health, though, also confirmed it has not had retention issues beyond what is normal.
"We're proud of them, and we are working every day to support them, just as they are supporting and caring for our patients, our community and one another," said spokesman Ryan Coyle.
The issue has been exacerbated by the fact that the nationwide focus on the coronavirus has postponed other types of medical treatments.
For example, nurse anesthetists in Pennsylvania have been laid off as elective procedures have been canceled, reported The Associated Press.

For unionized nurses shielded by collective bargaining, though, furloughs haven't been much of a problem, said Matthew Cunningham-Cook, spokesman for the Pennsylvania Association of Staff Nurses and Allied Professionals.
"We're really just focusing on the Defense Production Act and getting PPE (personal protective equipment) to our nurses," Cunningham-Cook said.
State officials and hospitals have also already taken some measures to ensure medical facilities are sufficiently staffed.
Last month, Gov. Tom Wolf announced that retired Pennsylvania health care workers may apply for reactivation of their licenses so they can return to work to help with the COVID-19 response.
Both WellSpan and UPMC officials have said they are reaching out to retired staff to take advantage of the measure.
As of noon Thursday, there were 18,228 Pennsylvanians infected by the coronavirus, according to the state Department of Health. There had been 338 virus-related deaths, including one announced Thursday in York County.
There had been 250 confirmed cases in York County since the outbreak began.
The spread of the virus has not only put a strain on staff at hospitals, but also revealed a shortage of intensive care unit beds.
York-area hospitals would need to nearly double the number of beds if 20% of adults were to be infected over the next six months, according to a model created by researchers at the Harvard Global Health Institute.
And they could especially be overwhelmed in coming weeks, as some models, such as the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington, estimate cases will peak in mid-April.
WellSpan Health on Monday announced it would double the number of its intensive care unit beds as the state braces for a peak in coronavirus cases in coming weeks.
The health care system estimates that it will free up room for 160 additional ICU beds in its hospitals, which span southcentral Pennsylvania. That would mean an additional 60 beds in York County.
UPMC, although not actively adding beds now, has the capability to increase its number of ICU beds by as much as 60% if the demand is there, said spokeswoman Kelly McCall.
On top of that, it could also transform other rooms to house ICU beds, similar to what WellSpan plans to do.

Finally, some really great Asian food!!!! Adam had the beef Pho with a mango-coconut shake. His was a hot and oh-so-satisfying, spicy beef broth with noodles, bean sprouts, and fresh herbs torn and thrown in at the last moment. I had the shrimp and glass noodle salad with a cup of vegetable soup- fresh, clean flavors. Wow, the salad was so fresh – lime, mint, basil, and cilantro with chewy glass noodles and perfectly cooked shrimp topped with seaweed salad!!! I also had the avocado-coconut-mint shake- an unexpected, but splendid combo! Thanks Miss Siam 🙂
One thought on "Miss Siam"
Yum, bring it on!!!!!

Charles Babbage, the father of the computer and architect of the Analytical Engine is credited with an early version of a speedometer for use on locomotives. In 1888, Josip Belusic, a Croatian, came up with the electric speedometer. Modern bike speedometers have catapulted cycling into the realm of space travel. These microcomputers help you to keep records, motivate you into knocking yourself out by goading you to 'go where no man has gone before'. They are extremely simple devices that give a lot of information back, so there is no call to get intimidated by complex-sounding installations or functions. Here we take a look at how to hook them up, so let's dive into bike computer installation.
What Is a Speedometer?
As related to bicycles, it's called a cyclo-computer. Earlier on, this would have been a misnomer; there are no chips, ICs or whathaveyou. It was electro-magnetic in essence. A speedometer is fundamentally a device mounted on a bike that calculates and furnishes trip information. A speedometer gives you an instantaneous reading of your current speed. It is usually augmented by an odometer which is a display of distance covered. The basic working principle of an analog speedometer on a bike is shown below.
Modern versions incorporate an electronic bike computer sensor that utilizes the time taken per revolution as the basis for all other computations.
How to Bicycle Speedometer Setup
Bicycle speedometers are small computers that are attached and start with the measuring of your wheel revolutions. Sensors are located on your bike wheels and wheel size being known, computes your speed. The tricky bit here is calibration. If that is not accurate, the exercise becomes meaningless.
Essential Tools
- Soldering Iron
- Wire cutters
- A stripper or knife
- Solder
- Bicycle tools
- Cable ties
Step 1
The computer sensor goes on to the fork opposite the brakes on the front mount. The sensor can be affixed at any point on the fork, just make sure you can access it easily. If no specific attachments were advised, secure the sensor with cable ties.
- 【Multi-Functions.】SOON GO wireless bike computer records with average speed, maximum speed, current speed mph/kph, riding time, odometer, single trip distance to keep track of your cycling effectively, more functions with scan mode, speed comparator, maintenance,clock etc.
- 【Auto Sleep & Wake-Up】Auto sleep just showing clock to save battery after no operation for 5 minutes and SOONGO bike speedometer automatically wakes up to track speed and distance when your bicycle moves again.Please note The rattling sound is actually a normal phenomenon which results from the function "shake to wake-up"
- 【Green Back-Light & Easy Installation】Press any button in period 18:00-6:00, green back light gets on lasting for 6 seconds for easy viewing during night riding. Easy to install by following the guidance steps provided in paper manual and a video.You can easily set the computer step by step successfully.
- 【Accurate Speed Tracking & Clear Display】SOONGO bicycle speedometer features stable wireless transmission that ensures accurate speed tracking of your cycling, just making the distance between the computer and the sensor at less than 60cm to make them fully communicate. Large LCD display with clearly numbers, easy to read data, more safe and convenient while riding.
- 【Waterproof & Widely Suitable】With rubber ring and full-sealed compact body, SOONGO bike odometer works great on rainy days as usual. Suitable for most types of bicycles:common bicycles, mountain bikes, road bikes, folding bikes, almost all cycling bicycles with Spoke-Wheel frame, NOT suitable for solid wheels. As long as you can mount the computer display, sensor, and magnet within the specified distances device it will work.
Step 2
The sensor wire should be run up the back and outer part of the shock absorber. It is highly desirable that the wire is protected from the undergrowth that you encounter in your rides as also keeping the wire away from the wheel in motion. A tip here is to encase the wire in plastic tubing of small diameter and affix it using cable ties.
Step 3
Attach the computer display mount on the handlebar where it is easy to see. Every mount differs slightly. So yours should be secured according to your computers'design.
Step 4
Mate the sensor wire and the computer mount, secure with cable ties, give everything a once over, attach additional cable ties if required. Bear in mind to leave sufficient slack so that the handlebars and front wheel are free to turn unhindered.
Step 5
Clip the sensor to the spokes carefully choosing the location. The magnet should pass close to the sensor at every turn of the wheel. It should be no further than ¼ inch away when it passes the sensor.
Step 6
Enter the diameter of your bicycle tire into the computer. This will be the basis of all calculations so there is little scope of error here. The measurement is readily available from the marking on the tire itself or the manual will tell you.
Step 7
Turn the wheel a couple of times. A non-zero reading on the display tells you that it is working. To check the accuracy you can cycle between two consecutive mile markers and check the reading.
Tips for Setting up a Speedometer
- Mount the magnet as close to the hub as possible so that it passes the sensor slowly giving an accurate reading.
- After installing the magnet, position the sensor suitably on the fork. Test the computer, make adjustments, then secure.
- Cable ties are unsightly. You can use transparent plastic tape that comes in 2" rolls. Clean the surface properly though before putting the tape on.
- The wire should lead up the back of the fork. This is both aesthetic and aerodynamic.
- If you are fitting a cyclometer on a bike with cantilever brakes, install sensor and magnet on the left if possible.
As you saw, a bicycle speedometer setup is a walk in the park. To make it as easy as stealing candy from a baby, there are wireless computers now available and no, they are not expensive. No messy wires and whathaveyou. So make the best of what you have gleaned from this guide and set up your speedometer if you don't have one already. Some speedometers give a lot more information including your heart rate. The choice is vast.

Snowfall delays BLM wild horse gather operations in Northwest Colorado
Craig — Storms that have blanketed Northwest Colorado in over two feet of snow have caused the Bureau of Land Management to delay the resumption of the wild horse bait-trap operation they have had underway since early November in Sand Wash Basin.
"With the recent snowfall we are holding off resuming gather operations because access is difficult," said BLM Public Affairs Specialist for the Northwest Colorado District, David Boyd.
Sand Wash Basin is located roughly 45 miles west of Craig and is home to nearly 600 wild horses, roughly twice the number allowed in the BLM management plan for the area.
BLM is using bait-traps to remove 50 young horses from the herd to help control the population.
Hay is used as bait to lure the horses into temporary corrals.
"The temporary fencing is still in place, but the gates are tied open and the triggers removed. This will allow us to resume again fairly easily, but not risk trapping horses when no one is there," Boyd said.
Before halting the the operation for the holidays in late December, 34 young horses had been removed and transported to BLM's wild horse holding facility in Cañon City.
A foal that had been injured in an incident, unrelated to the gather, was also captured and euthanized bringing the total horses removed to 35.
To achieve their goal of removing 50 young horses, BLM will resume operations once roads are again accessible.
"We can gather through April 30 under the current contract," Boyd said. "We will resume operations when conditions present another opportunity."
The Great Escape Mustang Sanctuary and its on-range program, the Sand Wash Basin Advocacy Team (SWAT), are assisting the BLM with the gather and adoptions. More information about adopting Sand Wash Basin horses is available from the SWAT Facebook page.

CATrends: Where's the Fruit?
How much of the real fruit pictured on the label actually makes it in these products?
In the end, the company that makes its mayonnaise with eggs was left with the ingredient on its face.
In the end, the company that makes its mayonnaise with eggs was left with the ingredient on its face.
The maker of Hellmann's mayonnaise closed the book on Mayogate Thursday, announcing that it had withdrawn its lawsuit against Hampton Creek, the maker of a competing vegan spread called Just Mayo, which doesn't contain eggs.
"Unilever has decided to withdraw its lawsuit against Hampton Creek so that Hampton Creek can address its label directly with industry groups and appropriate regulatory authorities," said Mike Faherty, vice president for foods at Unilever North America.
Hampton Creek CEO Josh Tetrick said there are no plans to change Just Mayo's labeling.
"We feel proud," he said in regard to the lawsuit being withdrawn. The 34-year-old CEO said Hampton Creek received "tens of thousands" of supportive emails from consumers who share the young company's mission of sustainable eating.
In its lawsuit, Unilever had argued that the name "Just Mayo" and the prominent image of an egg on the label constituted false advertising because the vegan product doesn't contain any egg ingredients. By the FDA's definition, the lawsuit argued, mayonnaise isn't mayonnaise without eggs.
"Despite its name, Just Mayo does not contain just mayonnaise," the lawsuit alleged. "In fact, it is not mayonnaise at all. Rather, it is a plant-based vegan alternative to real mayonnaise."
The food giant had claimed that Hampton Creek was stealing market share from Hellmann's. Tetrick said Hampton Creek understands the FDA's definition for mayonnaise and that's in part why the product was named Just Mayo.
Mayogate began to turn against Unilever less than a month after the lawsuit's Oct. 31 filing when Hampton Creek alerted the company to inaccurate mayonnaise advertising on its own site.
"We received a letter from Hampton Creek raising concerns about our website content," a Unilever spokesperson had said in an email to TINA.org. "The next week we made changes to the website. … There's a big contrast between us and Hampton Creek — we took action while their label is still misleading."
UPDATE 12/23/15: Following a review, the FDA will allow Just Mayo to keep its name as long as Hampton Creek implements certain changes to the label, including enlarging the word "egg-free" and defining "just" to mean "guided by reason, justice and fairness" to avoid any confusion that Just Mayo is an exact replica of mayonnaise.

Last winter, my husband and I had to go shopping. When I got out of our car in the parking lot, there was a big truck parked right next to us. It had mud, road salt, and lots of drips running down the sides of the vehicle. I looked closely and became intrigued by the fascinating patterns that I could see within what most people would call a mess and in dire need of cleaning. Before long, I was seeing trees, sand dunes, ski slopes... and wondering how I could paint or draw what was evolving before my very eyes.
There is a strong chance that my husband thought I was a little strange and probably thinking "Here she goes again", but really, I could actually see scenes in the salt and mud drippings. I grabbed my phone and took some photos hoping the owner of the truck didn't catch me in the act.
I have always been fascinated by patterns. I think it started way back in childhood when I looked at a blade of grass under my new toy microscope. I discovered that the edges of the grass were serrated like it was a knife. I didn't know that. Hmmm. That discovery got me checking out lots of things and, very likely, has contributed to the art I do today where I look for colours within my painting and then make patterns by drawing around the edges.
Was there a message in all this for me? Something like "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder"? Or "One man's trash is another man's treasure. Or even the well-quoted "Every cloud has a silver lining"?
What do you see in this photo? Perhaps this winter you'll find some Abstract Art in the weirdest places...

Dimitri Khalezov
Mr. Dimitri A. Khalezov, a former Soviet citizen, a former commissioned officer of the so-called "military unit 46179", otherwise known as "the Special Control Service" of the 12th Chief Directorate of the Defense Ministry of the USSR. The Special Control Service, also known as the Soviet atomic (later "nuclear") intelligence was a secret military unit responsible for detecting nuclear explosions (including underground nuclear tests) of various adversaries of the former USSR as well as responsible for controlling of observance of various international treaties related to nuclear testing and to peaceful nuclear explosions. After September the 11th Khalezov undertook some extensive 9/11 research and proved that the Twin Towers of World Trade Center, as well as its building 7, were demolished by three underground thermo-nuclear explosions – which earned the very name "ground zero" to the demolition site. Moreover, he testifies that he knew about the in-built so-called "emergency nuclear demolitions scheme" of the Twin Towers as long ago as back in the '80s – while being a serviceman in the Soviet Special Control Service.

One of my favorite perks of of having either the Platinum Card from American Express or The Business Platinum® Card from American Express is Amex Fine Hotels and Resorts, which can provide significant savings to cardholders, with all the value-added amenities that are included.
American Express explains this benefit as: you are eligible to book through FINE HOTELS & RESORTS and enjoy access to complimentary benefits and competitive rates at over 815 properties worldwide.
What this means is that you get a ton of benefits for each stay including:
- Noon check-in, when available
- Room upgrade upon arrival, when available (usually suite upgrades)
- Daily breakfast for two people
- Guaranteed 4pm late check-out
- In-room Wi-Fi
- A unique property benefit (such as a $100 hotel credit or $100 dining credit)
As an example, taking a look at the W New York-Times Square, you could book for $269, and the local property benefit is a $100 food and beverage credit. If you're currently a SPG Platinum member, you can also add your SPG number to the reservation, and you'll get your Starwood benefits as well.
Here's a look at some other properties you might want to consider:
Since the benefits for these stays are the same if it's a one night stay vs. a longer stay, you'll get more value on a one-night stay. For instance, taking a look at the Delano in Las Vegas for $119 a night in December, with a $100 property credit in addition to breakfast for two and an upgrade.
What's your favorite hotel you've stayed at through the Fine Hotels and Resorts program?
I have two favorites – The Peninsula in Hong Kong, and Le Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City. I really like it when there is a "Stay x nights, get an extra day free" promotion.

Thumb up: Safe drivers in Port St. Lucie? Indeed!
Port St. Lucie traffic gets its share of criticism on the Treasure Coast.
But it turns out Port St. Lucie drivers might deserve some praise.
Port St. Lucie ranked eighth in the nation for safe drivers, according to the Allstate America's Best Drivers Report. It found Port St. Lucie drivers are 16.7 percent less likely to be in a crash than their fellow Americans in the nation's 200 largest cities. Then, when they are in a crash, drivers in Port St. Lucie won't be in another one for about 12 years.
The only other Florida city in the top 10 is Cape Coral, which ranked fifth. Cape Coral drivers are 18.1 percent less likely to have a crash.
Port St. Lucie rises to fifth nationwide when rain and snow are factored into the list of cities. Cape Coral goes to fourth.

A major problem that small and medium businesses will face this coming year are cyber attacks. There will be a lot of new malware that will target minor businessmen aside from the long list of already dangerous malware now online. 43% of cyber attacks target small businesses and many without the proper tools to prevent attacks are always at risk. To prevent any major data loss or cyber crimes, it's best to make use of SMB technologies that focus primarily on data recovery and protection from phishing scams online. Tools like these will help condition the workforce of small and medium-sized businesses against cyber attacks. -Carla Grace Mesina

With its tapestry of paddy fields, river valleys, white sandy beaches and vibrant Hindu culture, the Indonesian island of Bali has attracted travelers for over a century. Consistently at the top of the lists of the world's most popular vacation destinations, the tropical island could have become "too touristy" decades ago.
But the majority of visitors stay in the south and at the long-established tourist hubs of Kuta, Seminyak and Sanur – or the more recently developed digital nomad hub of Canggu – and rarely venture west, north, or north. is.

Developed in 1926 by Dr. Carter. G. Woodson, Black History Month was initially established as a week-long recognition of Black history and culture. It wasn't until 1976 that U.S. President Gerald Ford officially recognized the entire month of February as Black History Month to "seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of Black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history."
As Balfour Beatty reflects on the strides made and the significance Black History Month brings to teammates across the country, the company is also introducing the Network of Black Leaders and Executives (NOBLE), an affinity group led by and for African American employees.
The new employee resource group—led by Earnest DeLoach Jr., vice president of legal and Mila Smith, vice president of human resources—will connect African American employees across the company as well as become a dedicated resource and access point for employees to facilitate networking opportunities, education, support and understanding in a safe, respectful space.
In honor of this year's Black History Month, NOBLE recognizes the invaluable contributions made by African Americans past and present, as well as Balfour Beatty's ongoing commitment to further understand and combat the challenges African Americans continue to encounter today.
Across the nation, Balfour Beatty's NOBLE teammates are hosting a series of activities to commemorate, educate and activate other teammates in the company including:
The creation of the NOBLE affinity group not only strengthens Balfour Beatty's DE&I initiatives but also adds to the richness of the company's people-first culture. Beyond Black History Month, NOBLE will facilitate crucial conversations and learning opportunities for teammates of other backgrounds in the business, cultural commemorations and volunteer activities to further the company's investment in professional development and success of diverse teammates.
By committing to a people-first culture that fosters safety, inclusion and acceptance, Balfour Beatty allows diverse individuals the opportunity to bring their authentic and unique life experiences and perspectives to the table, creating an inclusive workplace where everyone's voice is valued and respected. By embracing diversity in this manner, Balfour Beatty is creating a more competitive, innovative and successful company where teammates of all backgrounds can grow and thrive.

Good day, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Second Quarter 2012 General Dynamics Earnings Conference Call. My name is Jeff, and I'll be your coordinator for today. [Operator Instructions] As a reminder, this conference is being recorded for replay purposes. I would now like to turn the conference over to your host for today, Ms. Amy Gilliland, Staff Vice President, Investor Relations. And you have the floor, ma'am.
Amy Gilliland
Thank you, Jeff, and good morning, everyone. Welcome to General Dynamics second quarter conference call.
As always, any forward-looking statements made today represent our estimates regarding the company's outlook. These estimates are subject to some risks and uncertainties. Additional information regarding these factors is contained in the companies 10-K and 10-Q filings.
And with that, I'd like to turn the call over to our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Jay Johnson.
Jay L. Johnson
Thank you, Amy. Good morning, everyone. General Dynamics' second quarter delivered $7.9 billion in sales and $970 million in operating earnings at a 12.2% operating margin, improvement from last year's second quarter and this year's first quarter.
Earnings per share totaled $1.77 on a fully diluted basis, $0.20 ahead of last quarter.
Second quarter free cash flow, after capital expenditures, totaled $703 million or 111% of earnings from continuing operations. This result was particularly strong, considering that it includes approximately $100 million in pension funds contribution, 2 quarterly federal tax payments and continued investment in Gulfstream's Savannah campus. We plan to contribute about $500 million in total to our pension plans this year with most of the remainder in the third quarter.
Year-to-date, free cash flow is $1 billion or 86% of earnings from continuing operations.
On the capital's deployment front, we took advantage of our healthy balance sheet and top market conditions to repurchase 7.8 million shares of common stock this quarter. Through the first half, we have repurchased 9.1 million shares.
Additionally, we had announced the acquisition of IPWireless, an excellent bolt-on addition for our IS&T business. IPWireless further expands our technical communications portfolio into the public safety first responder market with advanced broadband technology that improves first responders' effectiveness and safety by providing them with greater access to information.
Orders this quarter were approximately $5.2 billion, reflecting continued sluggishness in defense award activity and some slower-than-anticipated order timing in Aerospace. I do anticipate improved second-half orders, particularly in Aerospace.
At the end of the quarter, funded backlog was $43.9 billion while total backlog stood at $52.4 billion. Total estimated contract value, which includes opportunities to provide products and services under IDIQ contracts and options, was $78.6 billion.
Before I turn to the results and outlook for each of our groups, I want to comment on what we are seeing in this dynamic aerospace and defense business environment. In our U.S. defense market, visibility remains somewhat limited by 3 principal factors: the upcoming elections, a likely 2013 continuing resolution and the sequestration trigger.
The uncertainty and anxiety spawned by these second half events continues to impede Department of Defense and federal government acquisition program execution. As was the case last quarter, our shorter-cycle IS&T business is experiencing the most pressure, due primarily to award delays on several of our key tactical communications contracts. In most cases, these are funded programs of record. While there are -- excuse me, while there was improvement in activity from first to second quarter, this order activity did not meet our expectations.
As anticipated, we are witnessing increased rhetoric as the summer progresses and the political process prepares to navigate the final months of the campaign trail.
As we steam towards the sequestration fogbank, many members of Congress had begun talking more seriously about sequestration and its potential impacts. We remain hopeful that a bipartisan solution can be brokered. However, as a practical matter, it seems increasingly unlikely that we will see additional detail on implementation or resolution before the November elections.
We are focused on what we can control. Specifically, we're executing on our backlog, working with our customers to jump-start the expenditure of previously appropriated funds, talking with our suppliers, analyzing our contract terms and conditions and judiciously husbanding our capital resources. Nevertheless, forecasting our customer's behavior has become increasingly difficult.
Given this uncertainty, we have adjusted our expectations somewhat for the year. Our outlook does assume the obligation of previously appropriated funds on several of our programs where delays have been prominent. With that said, the 2013 defense budget request is proceeding through the congressional approval process. We've been pleased with the support our programs have received to date. In the likely event that the 2013 Pentagon budget is funded, at least for some period of time, through a continuing resolution, our programs would reflect relatively healthy 2012 funding levels.

The Bay Window in Irvington, Virginia, is my LYS (local yarn store). When I moved here full time last year, I began going to their Tuesday and Friday "Sit and Knits." Before long, I had made many friends; friends who share many a passion with me.
When The Haven, our local shelter and support organization for victims of domestic and sexual abuse, asked for donations to their Adopt a Family program this Christmas, I knew those knitters would help out. And help out they did! We adopted a family with two children, a 6 year old girl and an 11 year old boy. Their wish lists included books, bicycles, toys and clothes. Their mom requested gas cards.The outpouring of support was overwhelming and touching. Yesterday, I delivered the items to The Haven. Look at those great bikes, and the toys, and the books! See those cute clothes! There are gift cards among the gifts, too!
At the same time as the adopt-a-family program, this same group of knitters knit booties for Knitting for Nutrition. The program provides an incentive for women in Burkino Faso, Africa, to attend important health and nutrition training for their young children. The mothers will come to the training, knowing that there is a cute pair of hand-knit booties there for their infants. Magical!
I am so very proud and thankful for the generosity of my knitting group.

Florida's Second District Court of Appeal to Join State's Fourth Court District in Rejecting Medical Malpractice Cap
Nov 28, 2016, 08:00 ET
MIAMI, Nov. 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- A three-judge panel from Florida's Second District Court of Appeal adopted an opinion currently under review by the state's highest court finding the medical malpractice cap in Florida to be unconstitutional.
The panel ordered an increase in the damages awarded to lala Suarez and her daughter, after a jury found the child suffered debilitating neurological injuries and severe impairment that will require 24-hour care and will make her fully dependent on others for the rest of her life, as a result of the negligent response of several health care providers.
Suarez, whose health care providers failed to treat her worsening symptoms of early onset preeclampsia, visited Peace River Regional Medical Center in Port Charlotte, FL at least three times in a two week period only to be dismissed each time. During her doctor visits, Suarez should have been administered special medication -- corticosteroids -- to aide in the development of her child's brain and lungs. Ultimately, she ended up giving birth at 26 weeks to a baby girl with severe neurological impairments. Her medical staff also failed to transfer her to a level III facility equipped to handle premature births.
This ruling marks the second appellate decision where a Florida court of appeal finds the state's medical malpractice law capping damages in personal injury cases to be unconstitutional.
The court's decision to reject the medical malpractice cap followed a Fourth District court of appeal decision, which in turn, followed a Florida Supreme Court opinion that ruled unanimously that the cap on noneconomic damages in wrongful death cases was unconstitutional and should be extended to include personal injury cases as well. The appeals court cited the Supreme Court's opinion and said the damage limits violate equal-protection rights under the state Constitution.
Suarez is represented by Stuart N. Ratzan and Stuart J. Weissman of Ratzan Law Group, PA, in Miami, FL and Kimberly Boldt of the Boldt Law Firm in Boca Raton, FL.

Just because someone's a big name in Hollywood, doesn't mean they have any real talents and we're here to prove that with this list of the 10 most successful actors who can't act.
Honestly, we're talking about Hollywood — is there anything real and authentic there? From their looks to connections and sometimes pure luck, stars can end up in the spotlight for just about everything but their talent. This is unfortunately true in just about every industry though. There are a number of actresses who can't act as well as actors who can't act, who have still managed to make some money and fame on the big screen. Critics either think these people are a wooden actor, meaning they're too stiff, they have too much of a "diva" personality and nothing to show for it, or they are only on screen because of their name and/or connections. It seems many of the actors on our list missed the "learn how to act for beginners" course, somewhere along the road.
Everyone has their own opinions, and we have ours when it comes to what we consider "good" and "bad" acting. So look at this as a bad actresses list or a list of the top ten worst actors. We're not saying you should avoid these actors and their films or shows entirely, but it's something to keep in the back of your mind, the next time you are about dropping $15 on a movie ticket. Instead, you might want to wait for their movies to hit Redbox or Netflix, so you can stop watching whenever you want, and you won't feel like you've wasted too much time or money.
Sit back, relax, and grab some popcorn for our list of the 10 most successful actors who can't act.

Do we have a good one for you today – the Huawei Mate S versus the Huawei Nexus 6P. We have Huawei going up against itself, as the Mate S is their new all-metal flagship, replacing the Ascend Mate 7, goes up against the new Huawei all-metal Nexus 7. Which one of these fine devices will win this specification comparison? Did Huawei out-spec their flagship by producing the Nexus 6P? Both devices are beautiful devices – well built and both are out of metal. Let's take a quick look at what these two devices have in common before we start looking at each device individually.
The Huawei Mate S and the Nexus 6P have similar sized AMOLED displays – the Mate S is 5.5-inches and the Nexus 6P sports a 5.7-inch display, although they each use a different resolution. Both devices use an octa-core processor, although different brands. They both have 3GB of DDR4 RAM and offer models with 32GB internal memory. The main cameras are very close in size (13MP vs 12.3MP) and they both use an 8MP front-facing camera (FFC) for selfies or video chatting. Both smartphones have a non-removable battery, although the 3450mAh size in the Nexus 6P is larger than the 2700mAh in the Mate S and both devices sport a fingerprint sensor.
All of the usual suspects are here – Wi-Fi, Bluetooth (v4.0 in the Mate S and v4.2 in the Nexus 6P), GPS, NFC capability, microUSB v2 port with Type-C on the Nexus 6P.
Please take a deliberate look at the detailed Specifications Comparison chart below and here you will see just how these two great devices stack up against one another – click on the "View Full Comparison" link at the end of the chart to expand the details. After that, we will look at each individual device in greater detail and point out some of its pros and cons. From all of this information we will try to determine the winner based on specs and execution of design and functions.
Huawei Mate S
Huawei's latest high-end Mate S is made out of metal with an optional variant in the future with a 'Force Touch' display – they all come with Huawei's 'Knuckle Sense 2.0,' which can offer up all sorts of shortcut gestures for you to take advantage. It is available in Titanium Grey and Mystic Champagne and is a solid device with a slightly smaller display than the Ascend Mate 7, it replaces.
The Huawei Mate S sports a 5.5-inch AMOLED display, but only a FHD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and 401 PPI, whereas the Nexus 6P also uses an AMOLED display, but the QHD technology with 518 PPI. The Mate S uses a 64-bit HiSilicone Kirin 935 octa-core processor with four cores clocked at 1.5 GHz and four cores at 2.2 GHz and a Mali-T628 MP4 GPU. The Nexus 6P uses a more 'traditional' 64-bit Snapdragon 810 v2.1 octa-core processor and an Adreno 430 GPU. Both devices pack 3GB of DDR4 RAM and the Mates S has 32GB of internal storage and the Nexus 6P has options of 32GB, 64GB or 128GB – the Mate S offers expansion via a microSD card slot and the Nexus 6P offers no external expansion.
The camera areas are very similar when you just talk megapixels – the Mate S uses a 13MP shooter and the Nexus 6P uses 12.3MP – however, the Nexus 6P is using a larger pixel and therefore takes terrific pictures. Besides the megapixels, the Mate S has autofocus, dual-tone LED flash and OIS. The Nexus 6P has laser autofocus, dual-tone LED flash and no OIS. Both devices use a large 8MP FFC for social media selfies and video chatting. A 2700mAh battery powers the Mate S and a larger 3450mAh battery is in the Nexus 6P – both are non-removable.
Other observations – the Huawei Mate S does have an FM radio and bottom facing speakers rather than on the front like the Nexus 6P. It measures 149.8 x 75.3 x 7.2 mm and weighs in at 156 grams. It is running Android 5.1.1 Lollipop with Huawei's EMUI (Emotion UI) 3.1 skin on top of it
Huawei Nexus 6P
The Huawei Nexus 6P is high-end and is a beautifully designed and well-built device. It has an all-metal unibody construction and is available in three colors – Aluminum, Graphite or Frost. It is a larger, 5.7-inch device, but Huawei worked hard to keep the design as narrow as possible, making it comfortable to hold in one hand.
The Nexus 6P comes with a Samsung made AMOLED QHD display that measures 5.7-inches with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 and 518 PPI. This compares to the 5.5-inch AMOLED FHD display on the on the Mate S with 401 PPI. Huawei decided to go with the 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 octa-core processor, v2.1 for the Nexus 6P. It has four cores clocked at 1.55GHz and four cores clocked at 2.0GHz. For their Mate S, Huawei used a homegrown HiSilicon Kirin 935 octa-core processor. The Nexus 6P has 3GB of DDR4 RAM and 32GB, 64GB or 128GB of internal memory. The Mate S also has 3GB of DDR4 RAM and 32GB of internal memory – however, the Nexus 6P has no room for external expansion and the Mate S does offer up a microSD card slot.
The camera on the Nexus 6P was recently rated one of the best by DxOMark with a score of 84, right under the 86 score of the Galaxy S6. It has a 12.3MP sensor, laser autofocus and dual-tone LED flash, a large 1.55µm pixel size…but no OIS. This goes up against the Mate S with a 13MP sensor, autofocus, dual-tone LED flash and OIS. The Nexus 6P and the Mate S use a large 8MP FFC for selfies and video chatting. The Nexus 6P has a large, 3450mAh non-removable battery that includes rapid charge via its Type-C connector. The Mate S has a smaller 2700mAh non-removable battery.
The Nexus 6P has a few features not found on the Mate S – It has dual front-facing stereo speakers for great sound and a good location for watching videos or playing games. It also uses the Type-C reversible microUSB port for faster charging and data transfer. Last, but certainly not least, it is running pure Android 6.0 Marshmallow and will always get the fastest upgrades possible when new versions come out. The Nexus 6P will cost you $500 for the 32GB model.

Class description: Citing your sources is very important – even if you are only a casual genealogist. A source is the record from which we get information. A citation is how we connect a source (evidence) to our conclusion (verdict). Citing sources also allows other researchers to confidently use the information we've collected. And lets face it, after you gather 500 ancestors in your tree it is impossible to remember how you determined that Great Great Aunt Ruby's middle name was, in fact, Arabella, if you didn't site the source of that information. This class will discuss what you need to know about citing your sources.
Instructor biography: Cindy Rodgers has been a hobby genealogist for over 20 years and is a volunteer and past president of The Fenton History Center.

Mt. Angel Chamber to honor Pete Wall, key volunteers
One week after the music industry applauds its superstars at the Grammy Awards, the Mt. Angel Chamber of Commerce will recognize superstar citizens at its annual community awards banquet on Monday, Feb. 22.
Five individuals and one business will be the toast of the town at the 7 p.m. banquet in the Festhalle. Tickets are $30 and can be purchased at Columbia Bank in Mt. Angel.
First Citizen 2015 is chamber president and city councilor Pete Wall. He's been nominated for this award many times, said Nann Fleck, committee chair. A group of former First Citizen winners selected him.
"Pete has been a faithful supporter of our community for more than 35 years, and Mt. Angel has truly benefited from his commitment to the community," wrote a nominating citizen.
Wall was city manager from 1979 to 1985, returning temporarily in 2009 to defuse a tense situation and organize a recruitment process for his replacement. He currently sits on the city council.
"Pete is the president of the Mt. Angel Chamber of Commerce and has done an outstanding job forging links with Silverton, attending all meetings that have anything to do with chamber activities and being a real leader," chamber member Sarah Bauman wrote in a news release.
He's on the board of directors for Oktoberfest and the Mt. Angel Community Foundation, as well being the booking agent for the Festhalle. Also, he's served as a coach and mentor to children.
Junior First Citizen, an honor accompanied by a $2,000 scholarship, goes to John F. Kennedy High School senior and student body president Elisha Valladares-Cormier.
Elisha is an Eagle Scout who earned this award by cleaning and repairing a wall at his church's parish in California, Fleck said. He's volunteered with SACA, Wreaths Across America, Scouting for Food, Habitat for Humanity and Oktoberfest. At school, he's a part of Future Business Leaders of America, the National Honors Society and the baseball team.
He hopes to study journalism and political science at the University of Oregon or Franciscan University of Steubenville. He said his dream is to become a sports journalist and eventually run for political office.
Volunteer of the Year is Rosemary Smith, a familiar face at the Mt. Angel Senior Community Service Center and at her church. She has served 32 years as a volunteer with Meals on Wheels and many years at Mission Benedict and St. Joseph Shelter, where she cooks and assembles food baskets.
At St. Mary's Parish, she's helped put on funeral luncheons and clean the church, as well as hosting bake sales for St. Ann's Alter Society.
"Rosemary has brought years of joy to the Senior Meals with her years of volunteering," wrote a nominating citizen.
The President's Award, given for service to the chamber, goes to Ed McKenney, longtime chamber member and co-owner of GEM Equipment of Oregon.
McKenney co-founded the company, which has locations in Mt. Angel and Woodburn and has primarily served the french fry industry over its 37-year history by designing, building and maintaining processing equipment.
"Ed's one of those people who makes contributions all the time," said Wall, who, as chamber president, selected McKenney. "In this community, anytime someone needs something, he's there to help."
As the chamber's legislative liaison, McKenney organizes and moderates two annual political events in Mt. Angel – a candidate night and a legislative forum. His company designed and built most of the Festhalle's kitchen and is a sponsor of the Hazelnut Festival.
The Distinguished Service Award winner is Ray Eder, a city councilor and community volunteer.
Eder has served on the city council for nine years, volunteers at St. Mary's Parish and is an active member of the Knights of Columbus. He organizes the annual free throw contest at Mt. Angel Middle School, helps with St. Mary's annual pancake breakfast and makes Monastery Mustard deliveries for the Benedictine Sisters
.According to one nomination, Eder is "the best kept secret" when it comes to volunteering.
Business of the Year goes to Wilco, the farmer-owned cooperative based here but known throughout the Northwest for its farm stores, agribusiness and fuel services. Wilco was named by The Oregonian as a top workplace in Oregon and Southwest Washington in 2015.
The company's generosity drew the chamber's attention. Last year, it contributed $100,000 regionally via donations and sponsorships. Its Mt. Angel employees gathered more than 1,000 food and toy items for the Silverton Fire District's Christmas-time collection and regularly donate blood to Red Cross. This year, the company's FFA Forever campaign raised $130,000 for FFA organizations throughout its service area.

The future of glyphosate, a key ingredient in pesticides, is in doubt in the EU. Arable farmers say they cannot do without it if they are to farm successfully, but environmental lobbies such as Pestcides Action Network Europe (PAN) have been working hard on the issue: Weedkiller decision
A standard ten year renewal no longer seems achievable, but it may be possible to get agreement on a three year phasing out period. However, Angela Merkel's need to involve the Greens in a German coalition government is a complicating factor. In any event, its future seems in doubt and the search for alternatives will need to begin. The scientific evidence is contested, but the politics are leading the way with President Macron favouring its withdrawal.

23 Apr Everything to Know About Twitter Fleets
Since being introduced at the end of 2020, Twitter's Fleets feature has been growing and evolving. What are the benefits of using Fleets, and are they here to stay? Read on for our take on Twitter's latest feature.
What are Fleets?
Fleets are essentially Twitter's version of stories. Just like the story option on other social media sites, Fleets are fleeting: They are visible for only 24 hours before they disappear. Twitter has explained Fleets as a way to "interact with Twitter in a whole new way, right in the moment. Fleets allow you to share fleeting or transitory thoughts."
Features and Capabilities
In most ways, Fleets do closely mirror the story functionalities on competitors Facebook and Instagram. Fleets can take many forms: photo, gif, video, or even plain text. You can Fleet your reaction to a tweet as well. Essentially, any form your fleeting thoughts are taking, you can express them through a Fleet.
You can re-share someone else's (or your own) tweet through a Fleet as well. Twitter is even testing out a new option that would allow users to set a background video or image when re-sharing a tweet this way.
For now, Fleets are only available on mobile apps, not on a desktop. Twitter has made strides recently to start integrating Fleets into the desktop site, so a widespread rollout of that may be coming soon.
Applications for Marketing
Fleets offer yet another channel through which marketers can reach their fans and potential new customers alike. Just like story features on the other social channels, Fleets can be a great way to more personally connect with a Twitter audience. Viewers can respond to Fleets through direct messages, so there is ample opportunity to start conversations and hear directly from your followers.
It is also a channel through which you can offer exclusive sneak peeks, behind-the-scenes looks at production, or ask questions to elicit feedback from your followers. Quick business updates and limited-time offers would also be great content to share through Fleets.
Future of Fleets
Since the feature is still quite new, it remains to be seen how successful Fleets will be. Uptake has not been overwhelming thus far, but that doesn't mean there's no hope for Fleets. Instagram Reels had a similarly slow start, but has continually gained traction for the past few months and is becoming very widely-used. Only time will tell how successful Fleets will be.

Work Packages
Each pathogen-specific work package (WP-PAE: Pseudomonas aeruginosa; WP-ECO: Escherichia coli; WP-SAU: Staphylococcus aureus; WP-BME: Brucella melitensis) includes (i) the analysis of bacterial physiology in patient samples (work within WP-CLN), which guides (ii) the development of benchmarked in-vitro models (work within WP-MOD), and (iii) the application of these patient-mimicking in-vitro models for translational activities (work within WP-TRN). Enabling technologies (work within WP-TEC) and data management and analysis (work within WP-DAT) support all other work packages. Their relationships to each other are depicted in the matrix below.
