Over the years my peers have asked me "how do you manage to fit everything you need for a 2 week trip in one bag?" And it wasn't until our last trip to Australia, when a woman asked me "did you really fit all your things in that bag", that I realized it was something I probably need to share with people. So here it goes, a step by step guide on how to pack 2 weeks worth of stuff in a carry on bag.
- Its all about the bag. Last year, I decided that we should get quality bags for upcoming trips. We decided on the Osprey bag and REI bag for 2 reasons.
- Functionality
- Size
Both bags have great storage areas, they come with an additional day bag (that we usually use as our second carry on), and the whole thing can be worn as a backpack.
I usually use the REI bag. I prefer the REI because when we are going through check in sometimes they take a second look at the Osprey bag, inferring it might be too large as a carry on. As you can see from the picture below the Osprey is a bit wider when its full.
- Compression bags and pack it cubes are my new best friends! For a 2 week trip these are a must! Especially if you are going to be staying in more than one place.
- Compression bags are like vaccum bags, but for your clothes! They allow you to fit more clothes while saving space. Just put your clothes in a compression bag and roll. The rolling sucks the air out of the bag and Viols! A pile a clothes, cut in half.
- Pack it cubes help me to organize, I might use it for undergarments, bathing suits, and accessories. If I have multiple parts to the trip, I will split my clothes up into different pack it cubes so that my bag isn't a mess and I don't have to repack it every time we go to a new location.
- Toiletries, this is where things can get out of hand. Below, I illustrate what goes into my toiletry bag.
- Use lots of ziploc bags
- Buy travel size products or put your products into travel bottles
For my straight hair days:
For my curly hair/ beach days:
Miscellaneous items:
Final Pouch:
- Onto my kryptonite… SHOES… this is the one thing I need to work on… Ideally 3 shoes should be enough (one to walk in, one for dress purposes, and a flip flop). But I can never make up my mind and luckily I have small feet so I add a little more. This time, I brought 6 pairs of shoes. I need to do better, but check out below how I packed it. Shoes always go on the bottom!
- Clothes. Now you have to be really strategic about this and there are many ways you can do this. You have to do a lot of soul searching.
- My method is always to go with my favorite outfits and things that I know I will most likely wear.
- I try to stay away from throwing in clothes that I've never worn as I don't know if I'll actually wear it.
- Also try to bring items you can mix and match. I like to bring my jeans shirt as a staple because it adds layers in case I get cold and it can completely change the look of an outfit.
- I also pack by the day. Below you will see two rows. The first row is daytime and the second is evening. I literally think about what I am supposed to be doing each day and pick an outfit accordingly. In some of the days though there will only be a shirt or just pants because I plan to reuse something from another day.
- Remember, 9 times out of 10, in the unlikely occasion you forget something or run out of clothes, you can purchase it at your destination!
- Miscellaneous Items: Medicine
7. Finally, I put some of these clothes in compression bags and pack it cubes and there you go you have your complete bag! See the end result below ( the orange is the pack it cubes and my toiletry bag is in the middle):
Here is what we walk away with, including our day bag.
FYI: In my day bag, I put a fresh shirt or outfit, my compressible jacket, make up bag, and on plane essentials bag.
Hopefully you find some inspiration in my steps to packing light and even save a couple of bucks by avoiding a checked bag! If you have any questions or want to leave any feedback, please feel free to do so below!

Friedrich Nietzsche warned that with the death of God (the intellectual collapse of Christianity) that it would lead to a state of nihilism. Basically, for years Christianity had been the answer to everyone's question, "how should I live my life?" Without the intellectual fortitude of Christianity anymore, where would people turn to for their values? Nietzsche took it upon himself to try to help us try to construct a value system that would help answer our question of how we should live our life. Unfortunately, Nietzsche never got to complete his system. He fell into madness and left only breadcrumbs of how we might live our life. It's also not clear he was even up to the implausible task of answering how we might live our life.
Secular forms of morality seem difficult to logically support especially after David Hume demonstrated it's probably not possible to get an ought from an is. Utilitarian theorists such as Jeremy Bentham and John Stewart Mill tried to make a scientific form of morality but when Mill tried to derive an ought from an is, it turned out he was just equivocating between wanting pleasure and morally having to seek pleasure. Utilitarianism, despite its empirical/scientific nature, just wasn't able to support itself. Ultimately you just had to bite the bullet whether you wanted to seek pleasure for the multitude or not.
Immanuel Kant thought that if he could just support ethics in pure practical reason itself, it would would be enough to keep a secular version of moral Christianity intact. Unfortunately, Nietzsche later knew that this wasn't going to help things because it was dependent on the concept of transcendental faculties divorced from our common everyday experiences. Immanuel Kant cut humans into two realms divorced from each other, the trascendental self and the phenomenal self. It came at a cost because Kant was asking us to postulate an afterlife and a God to judge us. What started out as a secular attempt to ground morality just turned into the same thing that doomed the Christian faith in its assumptions of an afterlife and God. Also, Kant promised that his ethics was going to be intuitive and commonsense but instead his categorical imperative led to all kinds bizarre consequences. You couldn't lie selflessly to save other people's lives. So much for common sense.
Existentialists of the 20th century weren't really up to the task to answer how to live our lives. They were essentially just replacing divine command theory of ethics with ego command theory. Basically, everyone's values emanated from their choices they made in life. Essentially, they were inviting millions and millions of varying moral systems created by the authentic choices of each and every single human being. This seemed disastrous. Jean-Paul Sartre tried to ground his existentialism ethics in a form of Marxist solidarity but this certainly didn't convince Albert Camus, another existentialist, who was quite critical of Sartre as a philosopher and as a person.
So what should we do? How should we proceed? Existentialism seems truly scary and bizarre. Millions of ethical systems based on everyone's unique "authentic" choices just sounds like chaos. It sounds like an ethical nightmare. Well….what if we turned back to the ancient Greeks and Romans?
It turns out that the philosophers of the past might have actually had all the answers after all. In fact, if we look to the Stoics and even the Epicureans we might find a way to truly live our lives. The Stoics believed that only virtue was good and only vice was bad and everything else was indifferent. In fact, if one lived a life of virtue one would be promised a life of eudaimonic happiness. Basically, not only did the Stoics propose a value system but they proposed a value system that implied a form of therapy. If you follow virtue as your sole good, you would be promised a life of excellence and contentedness. This doesn't mean you'd live happily ever after like in a Disney movie once you married your prince or princess. It meant that you'd achieve a noble state. You'd be worthy of praise, be generally untroubled, and free of negative passion.
The Stoics might've been onto something empirically true with their ethical system because years later in 20th century Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy by Albert Ellis was built on Stoic ethical premises and it seemed scientifically promising as a psychotherapy. Later, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy was derived and is doing great empirically as a therapy.
What's more is it turned out that the Stoics had an argument for how their ethics might actually be founded in something empirical. The Stoic Hierocles essentially argued that ethical forms of love spread out from the need of self-preservation to the need of the preservation of the offspring, which spread out further to the preservation of the tribe, and further to the preservation of the society, and further to humanity itself. I still haven't carefully read all of Larwence Becker's A New Stoicism but in his book he argues very logically convincingly for how Stoic ethics is founded in the initial need for self-preservation that spreads outward towards preservation of the human cosmopolis.
So is Stoic ethics what we need as an answer to today's nihilism? I think so. Am I absolutely convinced its the answer. I'm not sure. But I'm not sure of anything. As Socrates once declared, "All I know is that I know nothing." But I certainly do think that I have rationally warranted beliefs in Stoicism as a coherent ethical system.

Cong, BJP attack Naveen for ArcelorMittal's withdrawal
Bhubaneswar: Opposition Congress and BJP today slammed the state government for its "faulty industrial policy" which had led to the withdrawal by ArcelorMittal from a mega project in Odisha.
"Mittal's withdrawal from (the project in) Odisha exposes Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik's lack of sincerity to make the state industrially developed," said Odisha Pradesh Congress Committee President Jaydev Jena.
"The CM mislead the people by inviting major steel makers like ArcelorMittal and Posco," Jena said.
While ArcelorMittal has already announced scrapping of its project, Posco has been waiting for the last eight years to set up its plant, he added.
Terming ArcelorMittal's withdrawal as a major setback for Odisha, the BJP state unit said the company had withdrawn its project at a time when there was a need for massive investments in the state.
"The CM should learn from (Gujarat CM) Narendra Modi on how to make the state industrially developed," said state BJP spokesperson Sajjan Sharma.
"It is unfortunate that the (government) makes false claims of bringing crores of investment to the state to wipe out unemployment and strengthen the economy," Sharma said, adding that no other major company would now like to invest in Odisha.

Purely Collaged Postcards
Sorry for my late post. These are the glorious postcard backgrounds I received from Bex.
Both already pretty fabulous and I was so worried I would ruin them. This is what I did before posting one on to Virginia and one to Sam... That yellow fish was what caught my attention most. Then I found a vintage advert on an old newspaper page I had. It read something along the lines of "if fish could read they'd buy this bait"(I don't think they would somehow...) but it tickled me so that's what I went with.
Next up, that brown square looked like a window to me and the woman looked a bit scared. Found a vintage dinosaur comic strip in my box o' bits and it pretty much made itself . The wording all came from a fabulous "Wonderland of Knowledge" encyclopaedia that my partner's Mum gave me... he had told her to charity it! Flipping cheek. It's a treasure trove of gorgeous colour plates and interesting articles.
If you'd like to see the postcards I received - I've blogged them here. Irene and Jazz I couldn't get your blog links from the sidebar to work but if you can let me know them I'll make sure you are linked in my post.
I really enjoyed this challenge, it pushed me out of my comfort zone and I now have huuuuuge respect for purely collage artists. I will play more with collage now I think... but also mixed with paint and ink.
Thanks for reading :)

I haven't stopped laughing yet but these are brilliant! I was wondering how my backgrounds had turned out and these are just fab. Love the thought process, love the cards and I need to dig out my old comics now to reassess them!ReplyDelete
Am so glad you like them Bex :D I really enjoyed this swap!ReplyDelete
I'm loving both and having received the fishy one can tell you they look even better in real life!ReplyDelete
I have to say that when I first saw Bex's backgrounds I felt sorry for whoever had to work on them next as they already looked near enough finished and they were so fabulous already! But I LOVE what you did with them Carmen, these are awesome! (and I like the fact you and I both ended up using people with fish heads :D)ReplyDelete
Carmen you are a geniusReplyDelete
These are both wonderful Carmen and I love mine, Virginia's right, even better looking in real life!! Thank you xReplyDelete

For some PR managers this is a self inflicted wound. Over the years there have been too many dispiriting stories of unprofessional behaviour when faced with a new administration, freshly elected and full of purpose from a hard fought campaign.
There have been senior communications staff who didn't attend the election count, failed to contact the new leader and proposed continuing with the same core messages without reference to the aspirations of a new council leadership.
Some officers have simply refused to recognise that things change. Few of them continued long in their role because local authority communications don't work unless the leader, chief executive and head of communications are united and can articulate the vision of the administration.
PR people are adaptable but too many in local, and some in central, government seem to freeze when confronted with the democratic reality of a different political leadership.
This is not about learning a chameleon-like ability to say what a different party thinks, still less to evade the requirement to deliver politically neutral public relations.
It is about adapting to changed circumstances in a professional manner that recognises the voice of local people, as expressed through the ballot box and integrate that into council policy.
So the checklist for a head of communications facing the opportunity that a new administration presents should start with support, move to advice and then challenge the aspirations of the leadership to ensure that the public understand what the people they have just elected want to achieve for their communities.
Support should start with meeting and congratulating the new leader and explaining the role that communications offers to advise and promote the administration.
Councillors need to understand that they have the support of the council officers to facilitate their work.
It's extraordinary how many times communicators seem unable to simply call a new leader and say 'well done, how can we help?' It's particularly critical as the first external people to call a new leader will be the media and a strong relationship in these early days reaps dividends later in a term of office in terms of establishing credibility.
Advice should cover a pre-prepared plan to allow the new leadership to meet the media, speak to staff and arrange to see the major opinion formers in the area.
High on the list should be an offer to place articles on the ambitions of the council in the main local paper, pitch for a slot on regional television news and set up a Leader's blog. It's also a sensible idea to offer media training, if you think that the principal people need some help.
The challenge involves asking the new leader what they want to achieve – what they want to be famous for after they leave office.
This is the critical test for anyone who aspires to be a 'strategic' communicator. It makes both sides think about how services should be delivered and how communications should be framed – messages, audiences and tone.
From this discussion you should be able to engage the whole organisation in adapting to the priorities of the new council and set out a new communications plan to achieve these goals.
This week has seen political change across the UK. These are significant elections because of the results but also because mayoral votes and the powers from the new Localism Act signal a fresh direction for our councils.
Political leadership, whether as head of a cabinet or a directly elected mayor will be critical to the renewal of local democracy. PR managers can play their role in strengthening local democracy by ensuring that the support, challenge and advice offered to leading councillors helps them stay on course and communicate effectively from the start of their term of office.

CASTLETON, VT. – The Spartans locked down on defense when they needed it most, giving up just one point over the final five minutes to earn the ECAC Division III New England Championship with a hard-fought 51-42 victory over Suffolk on Sunday afternoon in Glenbrook Gymnasium.
Castleton led by just one, 42-41, at the five-minute mark, but concluded the game on a 9-1 run to earn the program's first-ever ECAC Championship. Senior guard Kelly Conway was named the Most Outstanding Player after spearheading the Spartans' defensive effort. Conway scored just three points but had five rebounds, two steals and two blocks while harassing Jacqueline Vienneau into seven turnovers and 6-for-18 shooting from the floor.
Suffolk finished the game shooting 29.6 percent from the floor, the 15th time this season Castleton has held an opponent under 30 percent shooting. The Spartans also forced 18 turnovers, matched a season high with eight blocks and scored 19 second-chance points compared to just six for the Rams.
Castleton finished the game at 30.5 percent from the field, led by Alyssa Leonard and Jade Desroches. Leonard scored a team-high 14 points to go with eight rebounds, four assists and three steals. Jade Desroches came off the bench to scored 13 points, including three triples, and added five rebounds and a career-high three blocks.
Vienneau scored a game-high 15 points to go along with six rebounds and three assists. Jennifer Ruys added nine points, seven rebounds and an impressive six blocks.
The Spartans came out aggressive and jumped out to a 7-1 lead over the first five minutes. Vienneau hit a jumper to end the run, but Castleton extended its lead to 16-7 on baseline jump shot from Meghan O'Sullivan with 11:41 left in the half. The Spartans eventually extended their lead to ten, 29-19, on a jump shot by Stephanie Linder with 5:44 remaining.
Illiana Quadri countered with back-to-back buckets to drop the lead to six, 19-13, before a Shelby LaBarge free throw and O'Sullivan layup pushed the lead back to nine at 2:19. Quadri drilled a three from the corner 30 seconds later, but Desroches concluded the scoring with a nice bank shot from just outside the right block to make 24-16 with 1:26 left. Strong defense over the final minute left the Spartans in front by eight at the break.
The teams traded baskets to open the second, however, five straight by the Rams made it 28-23 at 16:22. Leonard responded with a jumper and Castleton eventually pushed its advantage back to eight on a shot from beyond the arc by Desroches with 9:26 remaining.
Trailing by eight, Suffolk went on a 6-0 run to slice the Spartan lead to just two, 36-34, with 8:01 left. Leonard nailed a jumper on Castleton's next possession, but a 5-2 run by Vienneau kept the Rams within one, 40-39, at 6:33. Leonard then found LaBarge down low for a nice layup, though Shelby Santini beat the defense down the floor for a layup to make it 42-41 with 5:13 remaining.
LaBarge hit a pair of free throws at 4:55, and after a defensive stop, Leonard made two from the line for the five-point lead. Vienneau made one of two free throws with 3:04 left, but that was Suffolk's last point as another three from Desroches put Castleton in front for good, 49-42, with 1:47 remaining.
Suffolk finishes its season with a 23-8 record while the Spartans conclude with a program-record 29-2 mark for the year.
Senior Tarryn Bolognani had nine rebounds, two points and two blocks and finishes her career as the winningest player in program history with record of 86-28. Conway, meanwhile, earned 69 wins and three NAC Defensive Player of the Year awards in her three seasons at Castleton.

CASTLETON, Vt. – Top-seeded Castleton opened each half with a sustained run, and clamped down on Westfield State to ensure its first-ever trip to the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) New England Women's Basketball Championship Final with a 53-43 win over the fifth-seeded Owls.
The Spartans placed three players in double figures, led by freshman Stephanie Linder and junior Alyssa Leonard who each scored a game-high 14. Jade Desroches chipped in a dozen off the bench and Leonard added seven boards to her stat line.
Westfield State struggled to find a scoring rhythm against the nation's fifth-ranked defense. Gabby Felix was the lone Owl in double-figures with 11 points on 5-for-11 shooting and Jenny Bell added eight.
The Spartans scored the first nine points of the contest and led 13-4 with just over 11 minutes remaining in the opening half, but a five-minute scoring drought allowed the Owls to climb back into contest. A pair of Briana Kelly free throws brought Westfield State within one at 13-12 with 7:37 remaining in the opening half, but a Linder three-pointer ignited an 8-2 run that pushed the lead back to eight at 21-14.
Leading 21-16 after intermission, Castleton opened the second stanza on a 15-2 run over the opening six minutes of play to push its lead to a high-water mark at 36-18. Leonard and Linder keyed the run, each scored five points during the surge, with the latter coming up with a pretty steal and assist on a Desroches trifecta that elicited an Owl timeout.
The Owls clawed their way back within 10 on a number of occasions, but couldn't get it under double-digits the rest of the way.
Castleton never trailed in the contest and converted 20 Westfield State turnovers into 22 points to key the win.
The Spartans (28-2) advance to the ECAC Final against Suffolk. Game time is slated for 1 p.m. Sunday.
February 27, 2013
CASTLETON, Vt. – The Spartans never let their lead slip below double digits in the second half as they earned a 63-47 victory over Albertus Magnus in the quarterfinals of the ECAC Tournament on Wednesday evening at Glenbrook Gym.
Top seed Castleton shot only 34.1 percent from the floor but held the Falcons to 24.1 percent shooting and forced 19 turnovers to improve to 27-2 on the year. Albertus Magnus was outrebounded by a 55-51 margin as the team concluded its season with a 20-8 record.
Stephanie Linder was dominant inside with 15 points and 11 rebounds for her first career double-double. The freshman also added three steals and four blocks without committing a turnover in 20 minutes of action. Alyssa Leonard was the only other Castleton player in double figures with 14 points, eight rebounds, four assists and three steals.
Lianna Carrero led the Falcons with 17 points and seven rebounds but shot just 5-for-16 from the floor. Senior Kendrea Walker added ten points, eight rebounds and three blocks. Annie Raucci chipped in with seven points, six rebounds and two blocks.
Meghan O'Sullivan led off the game with a jumper from the top of the key and the Spartans scored the first 11 points of the game in less than four minutes of action. Albertus Magnus responded with four straight, but Castleton pushed its lead back to 11, 19-8, with 11:03 remaining in the first half.
The two teams traded baskets over the next four minutes, with a Leonard jump shot making it 29-18. Walker responded with a layup of her own; however, a three-point play from Shelby LaBarge and a jump shot from Linder extended the advantage to 14, with 5:01 left. Castleton allowed Albertus Magnus just three points over the final five minutes to go into the break with a 40-24 advantage.
In the second half the Spartans stretched their lead to 18, though a 6-2 run by the Falcons cut their deficit to just 14, 46-32, with 16:14 left. Castleton locked down on defense and held Albertus Magnus to just a single basket over the next ten minutes while scoring 14 points to extend the team's lead to 26, 60-34. Nicole Acerra ended the run on a pair of free throws with 6:03 left. The Spartans bench played the final six minutes as the team finished with the 16-point victory.
Kelly Conway was solid once again with four rebounds, four assists, four steals and two points. Shelby LaBarge added nine points, five rebounds and two blocks off the bench.

text: I've wanted to make a Danish-style pastry for months now, but I kept putting it off. I don't know why. I finally did it and now I'm wondering why I didn't do it sooner! Because I started with a Crescent Recipe Creations refrigerated seamless dough sheet, they are so easy to make. It takes 30 minutes from fridge to tummy, tops! How's that for a quick treat? It takes longer to go to the store and buy a Danish! Are you ready to surprise your family with a flaky, buttery pastry oozing with sweet cheese and chocolate goodness? First, gather your ingredients: crescent dough, cream cheese, sugar, chocolate chips and vanilla extract. That's it! While the oven is heating up, unroll the pastry and shape it into a rectangle. I highly recommend doing this step directly on the baking sheet as it is very hard to move the Danish once it's filled. With a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut slanting strips along both sides, about 1 inch apart and 1 1/2 inch deep. (leave the center uncut). Make sure you have the same amount of cut strips on both sides. In medium bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Spread mixture on uncut center of dough. Sprinkle chocolate chips over cream cheese mixture. The filling is quite versatile. You can add more or less chocolate chips–or use rum-soaked raisins, nuts or a combination of the two. Use grated lemon zest and lemon extract instead of the vanilla for a citrus touch! Start braiding the Danish by crossing the strips over the filling, alternating from side to side. When you get to the end, trim up any overhanging dough. Bake the braided pastry in the preheated oven until just golden! Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before cutting into pieces.

Sometimes a small print company gets lucky. They land a big contract that promises to increase their business by one-third or more.
Here are some situations they have to deal with:
- They have to hire more help almost immediately, which means training costs. If the new customer sells out to another company or quits the contract for some other reason, they will have to let these people go, a painful process that also makes unemployment insurance costs skyrocket.
- The lucky printer may spend so much time on the new account that other customers get less-satisfactory service and, as a result, take their business elsewhere.
- The print firm becomes so involved with the new customer that it fails to keep its advertising program up to date. It isn't attracting the type of customer that was the mainstream of their business before.
- At Yale School of Management, Professor Constance Bagley says that when you get a big new account, "You can't stop being scrappy. You have to constantly be thinking that things can change dramatically in 60 to 90 days."
Quoted in INC., Bagley says big companies are constantly looking for value. You have to figure out your immediate needs and address them. Keep the information flowing, especially information about their costs and their competitors. Talk with the R&D department and the new customer's leader.
If you do well on this contract, you can use the experience to attract new clients of the same kind.

Hang on Healthcare; 2017 Promises to Be Another Thrill Ride of a Year
By Sanjeev Agrawal, President and Chief Marketing Officer, LeanTaaS iQueue
2016 was a year of dips and dives, twists and turns. Judging by the first
couple of weeks of the new year, it's reasonable to expect 2017 will be
another roller coaster year for providers, patients, suppliers and payers. As
president and CMO of LeanTaaS, a growth-stage innovator of cloud-based
solutions for healthcare, I have a front-car seat in partnership with the 30+
leading health systems with which we work all over the country. So here's my

Making Healthcare the Way It Should Be
By Sanjeev Agrawal, president and CMO, LeanTaaS Healthcare
Interoperability continues to be one of healthcare IT's biggest trends in
2016 as the industry sees momentous forward movement.
In fact, interoperability is not a new trend. It has been an important
mission (and a challenge) for healthcare administrators for decades, but the
past couple of years have been game-changing.
First, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) wants
interoperability to be a common feature in all EHRs by 2024 so that patient
data can be shared acr... (more)
Operating Room Block Scheduling Needs an Overhaul
By Sanjeev Agrawal, President and Chief Marketing Officer, LeanTaaS iQueue
One minute of utilized operating room (OR) time can be worth more than $70 in
revenue and one minute of staffed OR time can cost $50 or more, making
underutilized OR time a huge problem. Each year, roughly 51 million surgeries
are performed in the 5,000+ hospitals and 5,000+ surgery centers in the U.S.
MGMA estimates that the corresponding utilization of operating rooms across
these centers is, at best, 55-60 percent.
Given that, for each percentage point of ... (more)
Using Predictive Analytics to Avoid Hospital Layoffs
By Sanjeev Agrawal, President and Chief Marketing Officer, LeanTaaS iQueue
It seems as if news about another hospital laying off workers - or worse,
closing - hits the news every day; at last count, 21 hospitals stopped
treating patients in 2016. Hospitals and healthcare systems across the
country, including some of the largest, laid off thousands of employees. In
November 2016 alone, 13 providers eliminated more than 1,000 jobs.
In September, HCCA's Vice President of Marketing Kathleen Johnson said, "The
actions taken recently ... (more)
The Future of Hospital Operations Looks like "Air Traffic Control"
By Mohan Giridharadas
Explosion of data volumes. Interoperability of systems. Large servers in the
sky that can analyze enormous amounts of data, compute complex algorithms in
real time, and communicate in microseconds. Mobile communication through
devices that patients, providers and staff all carry all the time. What does
this all mean for hospital operations? Based on working with dozens of
hospitals and conversations with 100+ others, we think the near future of
hospital operations is quite exciting. Call it wh... (more)

Bush just got done talking about how nothing is holding us back from becoming a better country (except of course, for himself, but that's another discussion for another day). And with the conclusion of said speech, so wraps up the bulk of the RNC, or at least the stuff people give a damn about. And if this past week has told us anything about what both Dems and Reps are going to be doing, its SLANDER THE HECK OUT OF THE OPPONENT.
But that's to be expected. I thought this race was going to be exciting and insightful. Instead it's turning into a game of he-said-she-said, and the players are Kerry and Bush. It's starting to get boring. However, tonight marks the kick-off. Maybe after tonight we'll start seeing debates between these two men, discussing things that matter to Americans. Like terrorism, jobs, welfare, civil service, civil rights, our troops, taxes, social security, and health coverage.

The Local Government Association wants an assurance that the government was not the source behind a newspaper article that a number of local councils are set to be "named and shamed" in the disagreement over funds being held back from schools.The LGA says parents and teachers deserve clear and factual information on the allocation of funding for schools, not unhelpful newspaper speculation. Its chairman, Sir Jeremy Beecham, has written to the Education Secretary Charles Clarke stressing the need for there to be an agreement between central and local government over the facts of the issue.
In the letter, Sir Jeremy says, the release of the type of information that formed the basis of a story in The Times, would be contrary to the protocols agreed between the government and local authorities and, coming as it did, within 48 hours of the local elections would also be a major and unacceptable breach of the purdah conventions.
Requesting a meeting between the LGA and officials from the Department for Education, Sir Jeremy says, "It is essential that there is an agreement between central and local government on the facts of what has happened in the recent settlement so that we can explain the position clearly and accurately to schools, teachers and parents."
He said the premature release of potentially inaccurate information completely undermined that objective and would undoubtedly generate more unhelpful confusion and misinformation. Sir Jeremy wants the meeting between the two sides to agree what information about the settlement is to be made publicly available.

The drawing and doodling app Paper has been a big hit on the iPad, but now the company behind this artistic experience is adding something new to the mix — Pencil. No, not the kind you need to fill in a multiple choice test. Pencil is a stylus that has been designed to integrate with Paper. It's also quite cool looking.
Pencil is basically a capacitive stylus with a lot more going on behind the scenes. This device has a rechargeable battery good for a month of use and pairs with the iPad over Bluetooth. However, all you have to do to make it connect is open Paper and tap the screen. From there, the stylus connects and enables a bunch of fancy Paper-only features.
Paper has all different kinds of writing and drawing tools, and you can attach any of them to the Pencil. The app also knows the difference between the tip and the opposite end, which is used as an eraser. When the app is using this special stylus, it also knows to ignore your palm resting on the screen. However, if you rub the screen with a finger, the app interprets that as a blend command — just like drawing in real life. All these features are restricted to the Paper app, though. Outside Paper, the Pencil can still be used as a regular capacitive stylus.
Pencil is available in brushed aluminum (graphite) for $49.95 and walnut (real wood) for $59.95. The Paper app is free to try, but all the tools are bought in packs as in-app upgrades. Using a Pencil gives you free access to Sketch, Outline, Write, Color, and Mixer tools. Although, it's not entirely clear if this is a limited trial period. The price of Pencil is, however, a limited time offer. It should ship to the US and Canada in 2-3 weeks.

When he was 22 years old, Jeremy Ryan Stutzman attacked a young Escondido housewife in her apartment. He bound and gagged her and forced her to dress in lingerie that he provided. His sexual assault went on for six hours.
That woman survived to testify against him. "I just kept telling him to leave and that I won't call the police if he just left. We'd forget about it. The entire day, I said, 'Just leave.'" She said that as the hours passed, he got "meaner." He put a dog collar on her and pulled her with a chain.
"He said that he was tired of me talking and it's time for me to shut up. That's when I saw — the chair was in the middle of the room." He tied her to the chair.
"He had put the knife to my throat and said that he didn't want me to make any noises or cry. He said something to the effect of 'I hate when they cry.'" She said she cried.
At the end of that long day, Stutzman walked his victim to his car, which was parked nearby. "Outside the door, he asked if I was going to tell my brother what went on, and I told him no." She said she had met her attacker through her brother, who had bought marijuana from him, but she never heard his name — he was introduced to her as "Junior."
The housewife persuaded her attacker to leave while they stood next to his car. "I told him that I wasn't going to call the cops. And he apologized and shook my hand and said that he would call my brother later that evening."
But she did talk to police, and she testified in court, and Jeremy Ryan Stutzman got ten years in prison. That was in 2000.
Twice as Much Assault
When Stutzman got out of prison after his ten-year stint plus time served for probation violations, he was ready for twice as much assault.
Stutzman was 33 years old in 2011 when he kidnapped and raped two women living upstairs from him in a Vista apartment complex. He had been living in the complex five months, and he knew the women upstairs were packing to move out that day. He bought a coffee table from 22-year-old Nicole, paying cash. Nicole offered him a beer. Then she and her roommate, 19-year-old Kim, smoked marijuana with him. Nicole said she had a medical marijuana card. "I told her that her marijuana is pretty much garbage," Stutzman later said. He said he knew where they could get something better, and Kim borrowed Nicole's car to go there.
The kidnap and assaults began after Stutzman and Kim got into the car. Both women ended up in Stutzman's apartment, where they were bound and gagged and blindfolded. He took turns assaulting each woman.
The attack in 2011 was similar to his 2000 attack. Stutzman forced his victims to change into clothing that he provided, and he tied them to a chair and used a dog collar, which he pulled with a leash.
He threatened the women with a knife. "It was a large, like, hunting knife," Kim said later. "He just kept telling us to be quiet or he was going to kill us." She said he "seemed angry" when they cried. "All night, he kept saying, 'Shut up, stop making noise, do what I say or I'll kill you.'"
After two hours of abuse, the blindfolded women heard Stutzman going back and forth to their apartment. He was gathering up their cell phones and purses and other items. Then he hogtied and gagged Nicole and left her on a bed while he walked Kim out to the car in the parking lot. But Nicole struggled out of her bindings and ran for help.
When Stutzman discovered that Nicole had escaped, he and Kim drove away in Nicole's car, with Kim at the wheel. They wandered all over San Diego County. The seemingly aimless driving went on for more than ten hours. Later, Kim told investigators, "He said I was leverage to Nicole."
The convicted rapist cut the GPS bracelet off his leg and threw it out the window. He called his parole officer and had Kim explain that it was all just a "misunderstanding." Twenty-four hours after his assault began, Stutzman released Kim near the Vista apartment complex. She later said, "He told me I better lie to the cops; otherwise, he would hunt me down and kill me."
During his trial a year later, Stutzman took the witness box to speak directly to the jury. He claimed the sexual encounter with the two women was consensual. He said an awkward moment occurred when the women wanted to take off his pants because "I don't feel like explaining to two girls why I have an ankle monitor on." He complained, "If you have an ankle monitor, everyone just assumes you're a sex offender."
Stutzman said he took Kim to the parking lot out of consideration for Nicole. He explained, "I'm more interested in her friend." He claimed the girls were getting jealous of each other. He said that when Nicole ran out the door yelling "rape," his reaction was, "I got to get the hell out of there," because he had a previous assault conviction. Kim, he said, generously offered to drive him. Stutzman denied that he had Kim at knifepoint during the hours of driving around that night. He said the night wore on because he had to wait until Kim was "ready to give up the car." He needed time to get a lawyer and meet with his parole agent, he said.
Stutzman, now 34, was found guilty of rape and kidnap and ten other felonies in April 2012.
Neither Kim nor Nicole attended the sentencing hearing, but both their mothers did. On September 12, superior court judge Richard Mills ordered Stutzman to serve 417 years to life in prison. ■

Now there will be an appeal and the defense will complain that 417 years is equivalent to a life sentence without any chance he can get out. Doh! That 's the idea. But will he actually serve it until he breathes his last? With all the screwing around we have in the state with the overcrowding, it is likely that someday and somehow he'll walk out the gates free. He's just one of thousands like him who are a danger to everyone they encounter and need to be locked up until they die.
Vis, everyone who goes to trial is entitled to an appeal. 417 years IS a life sentence, but that is what the law allows, and he deserves every day of it. He will NEVER walk out of prison...... unless we get to the point that prison guards are comping $400K or $500K per year, then we may indeed have to let everyone out after doing just 10% of their sentence, but 10% of 417 years is still 42 years!!!!!
He is gone for good, no longer a threat to society, and it is obviously a sociopathic nutcase who is not playing with a full deck.
I feel sorry for the public defender thta got stuck defending this clown.
i find it hard to believe that he would live 417 years, but guilty is guilty as long as the police did there job right the conviction should stick

How can managers properly engage their team members?
Monday, February 3rd, 2014 By Jack Nevison
According to a recent Gallup poll, only 30 percent of the U.S. workforce says that they are engaged by their work. The remaining 70 percent "are not reaching their full potential—a problem that has significant implications for the economy and the individual performance of American companies," according to an article on Inc.com.
Obviously, this is a concern for all project managers, who rely on their team members to be fully committed to their work. However, the article about the poll came up with a name for this problem: "Crushed Culture."
The term means that team members are not being held accountable for their actions. They are not excited to come to work, and take very little initiative beyond the basics. This is not a recipe for success in any organization.
The article suggests several steps that can be taken to cure this malaise.
"Put energy into someone by sharing what your mission/vision/values really mean, mentor them, talk challenges out with them, pay attention to them, and you'll start to build emotional equity," the article reads.
It is also important to make clear what each team member's career path will be, At Anheuser-Busch, team members get number-and-letter grade from their ongoing reviews. "4A's…must be promoted in a year…1A's are put on a recovery plan." Letting people know where they are on the company ladder, and what growth is needed to climb higher, creates "loyal and engaged" employees.

Smaller than a matchbox, the 4-channel, USB powered ScanaQuad SQ25 Logic analyzer captures or generates signals or do both simultaneously, not only supporting protocol debugging but also useful to stimulate a circuit with test patterns and check its response.
One of four versions, the SQ25 offers a 25MHz sampling rate and 256k Pts per channel. Complex multi-step trigger lets you target precise features of your data, like a specific I 2C address or a CAN frame ID. Trigger sequences can even be defined for proprietary protocols. Over 30 open-source protocol decoder scripts are available, included by default, but intuitive ScanaStudio software allows users to modify existing protocol scripts or write their own proprietary decoder via an integrated IDE using (Java) scripts. The units are offered with the company's Trigbox which enables the ScanaQuad logic analyzer to sync with an oscilloscope or any other device with an external trigger functionality, either triggering out or taking a trigger input.

Three people were burnt alive by suspected arsonists in Tse-Achia village near Kasar in the outskirts of Zaki Biam, Ukum local government area of Benue state, on Friday.
The incident was confirmed by the police, saying the attackers razed some buildings in the village.
According to Moses Yanmu, the Police public relations officer in Benue State, the arsonists carried out the attack in the early hours of Friday, 24th March.
Yanmu added that preliminary investigations revealed that the attack was a "retaliatory" one since the investigations had revealed that the driver who drove the vehicle that conveyed the attackers to Tse Achia was from Zaki Biam.
According to him, the identity of the attackers was still unknown, but assured the public that the culprits would be apprehended.
There had been a recent attack on a market in Zaki Biam, Benue state by unknown gunmen which led to the loss of lives and President Muhammadu Buhari commiserated with them. About seventeen people were killed in the attack, while 11 others sustained injuries.
The attack on Tse-Achia happened just a few days after unknown gunmen drove into Zaki Biam village in a Toyota car few days ago, shooting sporadically and destroying things on their trail and burnt the Zaki Biam Yam Market still in Benue state.
According to The police, they have not been able to figure out the motive of the attackers, but appealed to those with useful information that could lead to the arrest of the hoodlums to volunteer it to security agencies.

Feelings are one of the most powerful, shifting aspects of our minds. Feelings can make us want to dance in the puddles after a afternoon shower. Or they can make us curl up under the covers, while watching the heavy rain drops clash against our windows. Feelings are overall dangerous. Especially when it comes to walking with Jesus. If we base our faith with only feelings, we never experience the Truth and will always submit to our flesh. Here's a chart I found that adequately describes feelings/faith.
Look at the left side for a brief moment. Do any of those things match to what is going on in your personal life right now? I have had to examine my heart on a few of them. When we have a feeling based faith, we are not living up to God's standards. We pray, do acts of goodness, and follow God. But in most cases it's for our gain. For example, I went through a season of "forgiveness" last year. I did all the things I was expected to do. I seeked God, I read His word. I still felt impatient. I examined my heart just now on that Melodie last year and I realized that I was doing those things in order to gain what I wanted. That's not what our season with God are supposed to be like! Every season is like a steeping stone towards our true identity, and being closer to Christ.
When Jesus walked the earth, he was selfless. He performed miracles, taught his disciples, and what I love most, drew to lonely places to be with Christ. Jesus led by example of a spiritual based faith. Jesus knew all along that He would be betrayed by the same hands who praised Him. Yet, he still chose to love them and now love us. When we decide to forgive someone, we can't just take it back because we don't like how they're treating us! When we attend fellowship, we can't single someone else out because they don't have that "church attire" look. Let's love on them and embrace them into the kingdom! After all, we are all going out the world the same way as dry bones.
My prayer for you and me today is to stop living a feeling based faith. We cannot just praise God when things are great. We need to seek God even though there are blockages in our path. We need to love other people, despite how they treat us. Because one who loves knows God, because God is love (1 John 4:7-8). Start today by creating a list of things that's keeping you from having a spiritual based faith and begin to ask Jesus to remove the flesh feelings out of your spirit and replace them with His love, kindness, patience, hope.

Exclusive Q&A: Basketball Hall of Famer Lisa Leslie dishes on Tim Duncan, Rio, her future
Basketball legend Lisa Leslie, a four-time Olympic gold medal winner who was recently announced as one of the 20 greatest players ever by the WNBA, will be attending the 2016 ESPYS to recognize USC's accomplishments on stage during the show.
The Trojan women wrapped up their season with 96 points in the Capital One Cup race, on the strength of national championships in water polo and beach volleyball, along with top-10 rankings in six sports.
SEE MORE: Everything you need to know about Rio 2016
At this year's ESPYS, the winning men's and women's athletics programs will be honored on stage. Stanford and USC will be awarded the Capital One Cup trophy and a combined $400,000 in student-athlete scholarships. You can follow the upcoming race for the 2016-17 Capital One Cup by visiting CapitalOneCup.com and following @CapitalOne on Facebook and Twitter.
Ahead of the event, Lisa hung out with AOL Sports and discussed the Cup, Tim Duncan's legacy, what its like to be in the Olympics and what her future may (or may not) hold.
Q: In your mind, why is the Capital One Cup so much fun to track, and how exciting has it been to be a part of it?
A: It's kind of two-fold. One thing is this is all about bragging rights, where you can see which college really is the best across the board. But this benefits the schools and the student-athletes. Richard Sherman will be joining me to honor the schools, we're giving $400,000 in scholarships and I'm excited. USC, we did it (laughs). The Spartans won national beach volleyball and water polo championships and six of the teams finished in top 10, so it's pretty nice. Overall, though, this is not just about the athletes or the schools; it's about the fans.
Q: Was it ever in your wildest dreams, even when you were a student-athlete at USC, that you'd be a Basketball Hall of Famer?
A: Interestingly enough, I've always been setting short-term goals. The long-term ones were within five years, so, no, I never thought about the Hall of Fame. I don't know. I just never thought about it. I didn't realize the process, with you having to wait five years and everything, but overall I'm very blessed and very lucky to have made it in the first time with such an amazing class. I'm honored. It's really cool.
Q: In the wake of the big news this week, what are your thoughts on Tim Duncan's legacy and did you ever get the chance to pick his brain and vice versa?
A: I think Tim Duncan, the Big Fundamental, is so fundamentally sound and I had the amazing opportunity to talk with him and ask him stuff. I remember asking, 'How do you make your bank shot?'. I love learning. He has an amazing demeanor. I always admired that about him, and his ability to be calm. He was a 7-footer and he was so humble. I'm a huge fan, mostly because he was never boisterous, and he was just great. He was to be admired, for sure.
Q: As a four-time gold medalist, what advice would you give to a first-time Olympian?
A: The interesting part about being at the Olympics and being an Olympian is, I say, you have to stay in routine. You have to try and conserve energy. Everybody has a different approach, but I was very regimented. I felt like I wasn't even at the Olympics. You have to zone in. You have to think about how hard you worked to get there, but then, next thing you know, you could turn your attention to other things. You just have to stay laser-focused.
Q: Would you ever consider coaching in the future?
A: You should never say never in lie. At this time, though, I don't see it. I really enjoy broadcasting. I love being in studio, working with CBS Sports Network, on TV, podcasts, the journalist side of it. I'm really enjoying all of that. I know the game, I teach the game, but I feel that's not my calling now.

James Murdoch Will Have To Explain Some Of His Disputed Testimony
Reported by Ellen - July 22, 2011 -
Two former high-level News Corp. employees are disputing James Murdoch's testimony to Parliament about his claim they had hidden information from him that would have tipped him off about how widespread the practice of phone hacking was at the now-defunct News of the World tabloid.
Today's New York Times noted that while Murdoch claimed he had not been involved in an unusually large settlement to a phone hacking victim, two of his senior executives say otherwise:
Two former News International executives publicly contradicted James Murdoch's testimony to a parliamentary committee, saying Thursday that they told him of evidence in 2008 that suggested that phone hacking at one of the company's tabloid newspapers was more widespread.
The former executives said they informed Mr. Murdoch at the time that he was authorizing an unusually large secret settlement of a lawsuit brought by a hacking victim.
Mr. Murdoch, who runs the News Corporation's European and Asian operations, including News International, the British subsidiary, told the committee on Tuesday that he agreed to pay £725,000, which was then about $1.4 million, in the case because it made financial sense. He testified that he was not aware at the time of the evidence, which most likely would have become public had the case proceeded and undermined the company's assertion that hacking was limited to "a lone rogue reporter."
The Guardian notes that "the statement came as something of a bombshell to the culture, sport and media select committee, which immediately announced it would be asking Murdoch to explain the contradiction."
It ain't over, folks.

United Action Of Prayer
Time: Sunday, September 11 · 9:00am - 11:00am
Location: All across America
Created By: Patricia Traeger
In light of the decision of New York's Mayor Bloomberg to not invite any clergy or even the first responders to the Commemoration Ceremony on 9/11, this event was created to honor all those who were directly touched by the horrific event of 9/11/2001.
Will you join in this United Action of Prayer?
It requires that everyone, everywhere, no matter what you are doing to stop for one minute at precisely 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. on 9/11 to offer a prayer or to just have a minute of silence to honor all those who died, those who gave their lives, all first responders and their families and the families who lost their loved ones.
Let's unite with Americans across the country to let them know that America has not forgotten and never will.
God bless America!
At first I thought this was one of those scam emails but I was just watching FOX News and sure enough, it's TRUE!
Bloomberg apparently doesn't want to 'offend' any one religion by having clergy from certain churches there and maybe not others. Give me a break! Have like a Priest, a Rabbi, and a Protestant minister or something. I am a 'Mormon' and I sure would not be offended if a Jewish Rabbi, or one of the others, stood and prayed for all the people affected by this horrific terrorist attack!
He is calling out the 'Separation of Church and State.' card. Why is it that grown men and women don't understand what was meant by that. It wasn't to keep religion out of everything to do with America, it was to ensure that NO one religion would be the 'state' religion.
The people who helped cement the foundation of this country were religious! They DID pray. They knew they needed God's help and they asked for it, plus they were grateful for the help they received. They wanted a strong government, and if you kick God out, you cannot have that. The just didn't want the country to have one religion, as many countries in Europe do.

The world's largest provider of web hosting and domain names, Go Daddy, has hopes of expanding their company to the Northwest. But first executives need to pick a central location: Kirkland or Bellevue.
While the company has several Kirkland connections — CEO Blake Irving was a former Kirkland resident, International Senior Vice President James Carroll was a former neighbor of Councilwoman Amy Walen — it is not a done deal. With a handful of Go Daddy employees working at its new temporary location at Carillon Point, the company, which serves more than 11 million customers, still has some negotiating to do.
Carroll described the Eastside as a "hotbed for talent. This is really where people want to live, and it's where people will live and raise families."
Part of those negotiations occurred at the Woodmark Hotel last week, when Go Daddy executives met with Kirkland city officials.
While company leaders couldn't disclose how many new employees the company is seeking to hire, Carroll said the presence of big tech companies such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon and eBay, assures him of the Internet and web talent around the area.
The permanent expansion, wherever executives may choose, is expected to open in June, according to a Go Daddy press release.
The Kirkland Reporter is a sister publication of the Mercer Island Reporter.

A Mouth Full of Ashes
by Andrew Biss
-- After a promising young student is found brutally raped and murdered, her parents, Tom and Christine, are confronted with the daunting task of processing their grief and attempting to come to terms with the horror that befell their child. The paths they take in doing so, however, couldn't be starker in contrast.
Christine has withdrawn into a deadened world of suppressed rage and bitterness that has left her incapable of seeing beyond the terrible tragedy that has visited her. Her husband, Tom, on the other hand, has taken the unusual step of publicly announcing his forgiveness of their daughter's killer.
At the most difficult moment in their lives, a wedge has been driven between them, threatening to destroy the only thing they have left - each other. On this explosive evening of final reckoning, as home truths and simmering resentments are laid bare, each are about learn painful, often brutal lessons of love, hate, and the elliptical nature of forgiveness.
One night, one final confrontation... one outcome.

Refugee advocates are pleading with the Australian government to reconsider deporting a young Tamil man who says he could face torture, interrogation or death if he is sent back to Sri Lanka.
The man, known only as Rajah, arrived in Australia by boat after fleeing persecution in Sri Lanka in 2012, according to Refugee Advice and Casework Service (RACS) lawyer Sarah Dale.
Rajah, who is expected to be deported on Wednesday night, missed the October 1 deadline to file for refugee status and was moved from his western Sydney home to the Villawood detention facility.
Ms Dale said Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton has the power to review the man's application and keep him in Australia.
"He fears for his life, he fears interrogation, he fears significant harm returning to Sri Lanka," Ms Dale told AAP at Sydney Airport just hours before her client is scheduled to be deported.
"He is petrified of what he's going to return home to."
RACS executive director Tanya Jackson-Vaughn described the handling of Rajah's case as an "extraordinary injustice".
"People who come seeking asylum to Australia have the right to claim protection," Ms Jackson-Vaughn told AAP.
"I feel that it's an extraordinary injustice that his claims haven't been assessed and that he's been thrown on a plane and deported back to where he fled from."
Both Mr Dutton and the Immigration and Border Protection Department have been contacted for comment.
