An elderly lady waited more than four hours to be treated after passing out following a fall in Fishbourne on Sunday, according to a Chichester district councillor.
In a letter addressed to Daren Mochrie, chief executive South East Coast Ambulance Service, councillor Adrian Moss raised his concerns with the ambulance service response time after a resident in his ward 'fell on her face on uneven pavement' near to her house on the A259.
Councillor Moss said an ambulance was called for the lady in her 70s, who doesn't wish to be named, after she 'passed out and was left with her front teeth bridge knocked out and severe bruising'.
He added: "She was returning from a shopping trip. Fortunately two local residents saw the incident and rushed out to help her.
"The individual reporting the incident was warned that the ambulance may take two hours [so] the injured lady was taken to her house as sitting on the pavement for two hours was not a practical alternative. Her family were called and arrived as soon as they could.
"The ambulance arrived four hours later, with siren and lights going, but drove straight past. The ambulance still with siren and lights on returned a few minutes later.
"When asked why the siren and lights were on the ambulance crew advised that it was an emergency."
'We have been extremely busy'
Responding to what councillor Moss called an 'unacceptable delay' to an emergency, the South East Coast Ambulance Service said the incident was assigned a 'category 3 priority'.
A spokesman said: "We always take any concerns raised seriously. We are sorry when it takes us longer than we would expect to respond to a call.
"All our calls are categorised into one of four categories based on information provided by the caller. These categories range from category 1, which we would aim to respond to in an average of 7 minutes and category 4 which we would aim to respond to in less than three hours 90 per cent of the time.
"This incident was assigned a category 3 priority, which we aim to respond to within two hours 90 per cent of the time."
The ambulance service said it has been 'extremely busy' and have a 'duty to prioritise our most seriously ill and injured patients'.
"When we are facing high demand there are times when we can take longer than normal to reach patients who are not in a serious or life-threatening condition," the spokesman added.
"We appreciate that this means some patients are waiting longer than both we and they would like. We are working hard to improve our response to less seriously ill and injured patients including introducing vehicles specifically aimed at responding to this type of call."
The ambulance service confirmed it had received a letter from councillor Moss and 'will respond to him directly regarding his specific questions'.
'Something needs to be done'
In the letter councillor Moss said it was 'quite extraordinary' that the ambulance drove past the lady's house in the first instance, but said she was 'very grateful' to the paramedics.
He wrote: "The ambulance crew assessed the injuries and provided the required care without the lady requiring a visit to hospital.
"The lady was of course very grateful to the ambulance staff and for the care eventually given.
"We are all very grateful for the service provided by the ambulance service which is carried out by dedicated staff, however if the service is unable to cope that something needs to be done."
The South East Coast Ambulance Service introduced new national targets for response time performance targets in November 2017, which the spokesman said means that 'we are able to better respond to our most seriously ill and injured patients with the right response first time'.

In the past few years, robotics has made its way into our hospitals, claiming to be more exact than hands-on surgery. "At the console, [certain operations] can be performed effectively and precisely, translating to superior quality," one surgeon said about the da Vinci robot. But could they cause more harm than good?
Some medical and safety experts believe there is no reason for the surge in robotic surgery, attributing the growth to exaggerated marketing by the robots' manufacturers. And they worry that too many surgeries are being improperly handled through the use of robots. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is one of the organizations scrutinizing the da Vinci robot. It has received numerous reports of medical errors involving the robots, including:
- A hysterectomy death caused by a robot that hit a blood vessel
- A perforated colon during prostate surgery
- A death following robotic spleen surgery
- A death caused by a punctured intestine and ensuing infection
The FDA will determine whether these and other injuries and deaths were caused by the da Vinci robot or are complications that would have arisen had the surgery been done by hand. They will also look at the surgeons' use of the da Vinci to determine if doctor negligence played a role.
In fact, most of the defective medical device lawsuits against Intuitive Surgical, the Sunnyvale manufacturer of the da Vinci robot, have cited "inadequate training" as a cause of the injuries. According to Inuitive Surgical, physicians are educated on how to use the robot, but do not receive training on doing specific procedures with the da Vinci robot.
Robot surgeons and training are expensive. Are they worth it? If the robots cause more harm than good, it is time hospitals reconsider how they handle difficult surgeries.

Here in America we have been blessed for a couple of centuries to not have very many Christians physically attacked because of their faith in Christ. In other parts of the world our siblings in Christ are suffering torture and martyrdom on a daily basis. (A good website for reviewing this subject is produced by the Voice Of The Martyrs at the URL http://www.persecution.com).
We [in America] certainly have had some tragic instances of physical attacks and murders prompted by hatred for Christ and His followers, and I am not downplaying the critical nature of those few instances. I am however wanting to sound a call for the preparation of our hearts and minds for much, much worse tragedies that will happen to Christians in America in the very near future.
The Apostle Peter shared for us some Spirit-inspired wisdom when he wrote:
"Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when His glory is revealed. If you are insulted because of the Name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you… if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that Name."
~ 1 Peter 4:12-16
"Do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal" should be our message to one another when the frequency and the level of violence increases against us. By all means, live with safety and security as a conscious priority, but do so out of love for Christ and His church, and not out of fear. By all means, defend yourself, your family, and your friends but do so knowing that we have eternity in our hearts and our eternity is destined to be alive with Christ.
If you find yourself in a place of danger, "do not be surprised… but rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ… for the Spirit… of God rests on you… If you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed…"
The reason I am re-quoting scripture is simple: when your time comes, the Holy Spirit will remind you of what He has said in the scriptures, not necessarily what a pastor said in a devotional.
Jesus said, regarding His Holy Spirit:
"All this I have spoken while still with you. But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
~ John 14:25-27

Hicham is home and what is home anyway? Way before the move...
Well so, here we are. Just had a nice dinner that I got to cook for two. Thats right Hicham is home for two weeks and so that means more classical music, more herbal tea and some gorgeous intimacy. Yup- I really missed that man.
And so we went to a party, threw a party (both my b-day and his coming home), spent almost a week in the mountains all blissed out with a cozy cabin surrounded my trees and with a fabulous hot tub attached. We watched some cool movies, played scrabble, made good food, went on hikes and generally just appreciated being together. Three months apart was mildly dull for me while he was away but now I hesitate to admit, but believe it to be true, that actually I the three months really lacked serious vivaciousness. Hicham is truly my soul mate and best friend.
So, now we are back from bliss and re-encountering our regular conversation topic. So - what now? (but really, we mean later). As I have lived in Durham for over 5 years, it has become for me a home like I did not even know a place could be. I mean, one might assume that because I was raised in Minnesota - that my home would be where it has been known to snow in April. Of course, we all know that I hate that shitty weather and don't think very positively about the people (plenty of exceptions). MN is not my home and frankly, in my heart, never really was.
This attitude allowed me perhaps to travel as extensively as I did. For three years, footloose and fancy free. My home was my backpack and I didn't want for a thing. The connections I made in all those countries were mutually beneficial and I felt a part of a community of travelers and adventurors. Each day had the possiblity of something different than the day before. It was invigorating - not exhausting to find housing each day (now it sounds like hell).
But here I am, now admitting that I have found a place that I feel a part of - not different from, not particularly excited about - but connected to. Even people I detest (and there are plenty because I am sort-of an asshole), I know that I would help them and they would help me. And anyway, anyone I detest is just presenting an opportunity for me to grow. But I mostly don't seem to want to grow, change, evolve etc. I mean I do, but not really obviously:
So- the constant conversation is: Where will we 'go'? Now, this is clearly not a question that I want to ask or even ponder but Hicham has international needs to fill and those include his family in France and even his extended family in Morocco to some degree. Also, he just wants to live somewhere else at this stage in his life. I don't blame him, when I was his age that was what I did! I got the hell out of here, went to Europe, Nepal, India, Taiwan, Australia, Thailand, Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico, China!
Hicham agrees it is nice here and he likes Durham and agrees it is easy to live, work, place and be here... that is part of the problem. He wants more of a challenge. I, on the otherhand, would happily walk the same trails with Olivia for the rest of her life. When did this happen to me? This 'soul settling'? This 'cultural contentment'? This 'Durham Dream-don't wake me'?
It is hard to know if on one's deathbed if one would rather say, "I sure did it enjoy it where I was for all those years- a simple life, a comfy life an easy life. Great, old friends, deep sense of place and exploration of NC" OR if it would be nicer to utter "Hot damn, what an adventure, living here and there- always seeing something different, expanding my boundaries and challenging my own expectations of reality - it was unpredictable and required me to adapt but it was worth it"...
Yeah so - Hicham will leave in a few days. Back to France to stuff his head full of concepts that I will never grasp and in three months he will be done and then he will do an internship somewhere. There is discussion of London and I will go with him. Then, where is my home? Do I even have the gumption to get up and go and let go of what I have worked to obtain? I mean, not to sound materialistic, BUT our home is a cozy and creative space and one that I dread dismantling only to 'start again' in another country.

Investor Calls for EMC to Divest Itself of VMWare

On the eve of the annual VMWorld conference in San Francisco, scheduled for next month, people are talking a lot about VMWare, but not for the usual reason. It's because one of EMC's largest investors is calling on the company to break itself up — specifically, by taking VMWare public.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Elliott Management Corp. (the initials of which are also EMC; what are the odds?) has taken a stake of more than $1 billion in EMC Corp., which would amount to about 2% of its value, and also making it EMC's fifth-largest shareholder. Elliott is reportedly flexing its muscle and suggesting that EMC should spin off VMWare, which could then mean that EMC itself might be purchased by someone else as well.
This sort of thing isn't terribly surprising. To paraphrase Rhett Butler in Gone With the Wind, there's two ways to make money: when a company is building itself up, or when a company is breaking itself into pieces. EMC has been obliging its shareholders that way for some time now, with a series of acquiring a whole bunch of companies, rearranging the pieces, and then spinning them off, as it did with Pivotal. (Similarly, there's another group of people suggesting it would be a good idea for everyone concerned if EMC were to divest itself of Documentum.)
With the company's lack of management drama, finding different ways to arrange the pieces is about the only excitement EMC shareholders get. And Elliott has done similar things with other technology companies, the Journal, as well as Barb Darrow of GigaOm, point out, to the extent that some articles referred to the investment firm as an "activist investor," with others using terms that are less nice ("vulture" being one example).
VMWare itself is a bit of an odd duck in that regard; technically it's a separate company, but EMC owns a big chunk of it (79% in 2012) and VMWare itself is a big chunk of EMC's value (75% now, up from 60% in 2012). And the companies have been shuffling executives back and forth for a while now, though it's never quite clear which one is the farm team and which one is the majors.
Both EMC and VMWare are facing "innovators' dilemma" challenges, with EMC fighting to maintain its big iron relevance in a world of flash storage, cloud, and commodity storage pods, and VMWare watching other companies extend its virtualization model to other components.
For what it's worth, most industry watchers don't think it's going to happen, because EMC and its CEO and chairman Joe Tucci are too invested in the current structure and in retaining VMWare. On the other hand, all the interest and speculation has pushed EMC's stock price to a two-year high, reports Reuters. Speculation is that EMC might sell off part of its share of VMWare to appease Elliott, with the result that VMware's stock is going down. In related news, EMC is scheduled to release its earnings report on Wednesday.

The piece contains all the hallmarks of what we believe should be the ingredients of a successful short film – inspiration, passion and humour.
Wales Screen Showreel
The latest showreel was produced by JM Creative in conjunction with Wales Screen. It was aimed at giving producers, directors and location managers a hunger to know more about the fantastic coastline, the amazing interior landscape, the cities and the historical sites that make Wales an ideal place to set their movies.
Welsh Seafood
The Marine and Fisheries Department of the Welsh Government commissioned JM Creative to make a short film that would demonstrate the unique nature of the Welsh seafood industry with a heavy focus on the quality and sustainability of Welsh products. The aim of the film was also to make the most of Wales' outstanding natural beauty and reinforce the part the seafood industry plays in coastal communities.

Bowen helps GU in every way
Thu., March 24, 2011
The longest pause in Gonzaga's game with UCLA in the NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament on Monday came when Bulldogs forward Kelly Bowen got whacked in the nose.
While she sat on the bench as trainer Peter Clark tried to get the blood stopped, the officials automatically checked the replay monitor for assurance there was not a flagrant foul, which is a point of emphasis this season.
When the game resumed, temporarily without Bowen, the Bruins went on forge a 38-35 halftime lead, helped by a 21-14 rebounding advantage that included seven offensive rebounds. But it wasn't a coincidence that when she returned the 11th-seeded Bulldogs battled back to pull off the 89-75 upset against the third-seeded Bruins with a 19-12 edge on the boards.
"What makes her the perfect fit is she has no ego," GU coach Kelly Graves said of his only starter that doesn't average double figures. "She doesn't need touches to keep her happy. She understands she's not the first option (on offense) but there are other ways to contribute.
"She's a tremendous defender, that gets lost. She's a solid rebounder. Her numbers are great when you look at minutes played. She's one of the few players that can mix it up. It's kind of ironic that she's the one that got the bloody nose."
He said Bowen has the ability to guard a power forward to a high-scoring guard, versatility the Bulldogs (30-4) are going to need when they face seventh-seeded Louisville (22-12) Saturday at 6 p.m. in the Sweet 16 at the Arena.
Bowen, a 6-foot junior, understands and embraces her role.
"I'm unique in that you never know what you're going to get," she said. "I could have a different job for every game, whether it's defensive, being a leader or providing a rebounding or offensive presence. It seems to change every game."
What doesn't change is what she means to her teammates.
"She's a great teammate," junior forward Kayla Standish said. "She's so aggressive and she's always trying to lift people up that are down. She's always willing to give for someone else."
"Easy going, that's the best way to explain her," senior point guard Courtney Vandersloot added. "She seems like she doesn't have a care in the world. It helps her on and off the court, it helps her in every situation.
"With that happy-go-lucky attitude, even on the floor when she makes a mistake she just smiles. That's good for a player, although Coach doesn't always like it. It keeps us relaxed, knowing nothing gets under her skin, she's going to be a rock."
That would seem to fit the stereotype of an Australian, who, when it came right down to it, was an easy recruit when Graves wanted to tap into that pipeline like some of his West Coast Conference peers.
"I sent (then assistant) Jennifer Mountain down there and told her not to come back without a player," he said.
Bowen caught the attention of Mountain, who is now the head coach at Santa Clara.
Graves had seen some film by the time Bowen's traveling team came to the States, which she also used for official visits to New Mexico, Fresno State, San Diego and Gonzaga.
"I wasn't sure about college basketball until the visits but it sounded like fun," Bowen said. "Gonzaga stood out because of the smallness of the school and the family atmosphere the basketball team has."
"By the time she got here, our mind was made up," Graves said. "I just love that kid. I did from Day One."
Of course, there were the usual adjustments to bigger, faster and more athletic players at the college level, plus the fact that every player is good compared to just one or two on a team. Then there were a few adjustments.
"The first day I wore my (low top) running shoes," she said. "Everybody else wore their (high top) basketball boots."
Standish said there were some issues with Bowen's accent at first.
"Especially because I was really shy," Standish added. "I would just nod my head and smile because I didn't want to ask her what the hell she was talking about."
But those two became fast friends with Bowen spending breaks with the Standish family in Ellensburg.
"It's pretty hard," Bowen said of just getting home for about six weeks at the end of the school year. "I do pretty well. I'm pretty close to my roommates (Standish, Shannon Reader and Janelle Bekkering) and their families. They've pretty much adopted me."
That impresses Vandersloot, whose parents haven't missed five games in her career despite living on the West Side.
"I couldn't," Vandersloot said. "I only think a few individuals can do that but Kelly is one of them. She just has that rare ability, that independence. She makes the best of every situation."
Graves had another take, considering the seasons in Australia are opposite from here.
"The one negative," he said, "is the school year goes through winter and in summer when it's nice here she goes home and it's winter there, so she has four straight years of winters."
But again, that's just one more thing that doesn't faze Bowen at all, who has obviously adjusted everything, including this March Madness thing.
"I had absolutely no idea," she said. "I think it's awesome. I read a quote that said it is arguably one of the greatest sporting events in the whole world. I'm going to go ahead and agree with them."

Stratics has adopted a new, more versatile calendar that will serve the varied interests of Stratics users better.
To access the calendar, click the Calendar button at the top of your screen.
You multiple options for viewing the Calendar. You can view a full month, a week, or a day, or you can view the agenda, which is a chronological list (as opposed to a calendar view) of events by day. The archive is an agenda-style view of events that have passed.
When you click the Calendar link, it will take you to whichever view you last used. Your submenu will now show the other views and a settings options. From the settings option, you can choose which types of events you wish to view.
Click the 'Enable Filtering' box to open the filtering options. This feature allows you to view only the events you are interested in. By default, all boxes are unchecked, so you will see all events that are on the calendar.
Checking a box filters it out. However, if an event has been tagged with multiple categories, it will still show unless all the categories for which is is tagged are filtered out. If you wish to only see events tagged with your shard, select all the boxes except your shard. If you wish to see all EM events regardless of shard, select all the boxes except 'EM Events'.
The 'Filter Event Locations' function is not currently adapted for in-game use, but can be used for RL player meets and events.
Individual event listings will show you the time zone in which they are posted, but events on the monthly, weekly, daily, agenda, and archive views will show the events in the time zone to which your Stratics account is set. You can change your time zone in your account preferences.
There are two ways to create an event. You may open the Calendar and click "Create Event", or you may click "Post New Event" from within any of the shard forums.
The first two fields are just like making a normal post.
The next section includes the venue, which you may fill out with the location of your choice. The address field is for RL events.
You can set a single occurrence or up to ten occurrences for a single event.
Each event created generates a new thread. Select the appropriate shard forum for your thread, then you may select from the available thread prefixes if desired.
The next section determines in which filter categories your event will appear. Select all categories that apply to your event.
While selecting keywords is not required, it will help players interested in the kind of event you are advertising to find it more easily. If you do not select any keywords, your event will appear to everyone regardless of filtration. Accurate keyword selection will get your event the best exposure for the most interested players.
When you have filled in all the information you wish to include, click "Create Event". Your event will appear on the calendar and in the shard forum you selected. You will then have options for editing your event.
Once you create your event, you can edit it like you would a normal post. From the 'Event Tools' tab, select 'Edit Event' to change the text, location, and keywords for an event.
You can also add occurrences from here. While the repeat event option in the initial event creation only allows for regularly repeated events on the same day and time, you can use this option to have multiple occurrences with different days and times.
To edit the dates and times you have already added, you must go to the 'Upcoming Occurrences' section of the event and click the 'Tools' tab. Here you will also see options to export to three different calendar types (including Google Calendar) and to edit the specific occurrence you have selected.
All the occurrences for a given event must be listed in the same time zone.
RSVP and Notifications
The RSVP features allows you to receive a Stratics notification when an event you RSVP to is imminent and when someone RSVPs to an event you create!
When you open an event from any calendar view, you will see the RSVP option.
When you RSVP to an event, you can opt to receive Stratics notifications when the event is near. You can select when to get these notifications in your Alert Preferences, located in your user menu.

Lafayette Square's New Look Preserves Neighborhood Oasis / Everyone welcome at `Old Man's Park'
1998-09-21 04:00:00 PDT OAKLAND -- No one would disagree that a city park should be friendly for families. But when the park is downtown Oakland's Lafayette Square, the idea takes some tricky turns.
A classic 19th century urban common that has become severely chewed around the edges, the acre-and-a-half square is undergoing a makeover that has been overdue since the 1970s. The interesting thing about the makeover is not the landscaping, it is the social engineering.
The renovation of 145-year-old Lafayette Square, which began last week, is an act of faith in an ideal battered by the social realities of the last 30 years. It is the recovery of the well-made, well- kept, wide-open urban square vigorously used by all and rejecting no one.
That ideal went into the park when it was first adopted as public space during the "City Beautiful" movement, which put a Rome- tinged, neoclassical imprint on American cities great and provincial.
In the historic square, ladies twirled parasols at one end and men clanked horseshoes at the other. Children looked at the stars through the telescope at the original Chabot Observatory.
The park kept its Victorian symmetry as it bent with social change. During the Depression, the square acquired its street name, "Old Man's Park." The jobless gathered there for companionship and for donated food. Today, not just the jobless gather at the park.
As many as 150 people are fed at the park every week by organized urban missionaries and by passers-by who drop off food. The park is the open space for a neighborhood that includes many of the city's transient hotels and missions for people who need a hand with food, shelter, clothing and health care.
The homeless and the poor are so integral to the history of the park and so numerous among the current users that when neighborhood residents began pushing for the restoration in 1992, they insisted that the city do nothing to exclude anyone from using the square, not transients, not the down-and-out elderly, not recovering substance abusers. If former San Francisco Mayor Frank Jordan's Matrix program of moving people around was one approach to the problem of the homeless on public property, the Lafayette Square plan would be its opposite.
At the same time, the homeless and transients who have been part of the Oakland neighborhood since the Depression could not spread out over the park. They would have to fit in with the neighborhood's newcomers, including Southeast Asian immigrants, workers at the new Federal Building and buyers of condominiums at the Old Town Square complex that is set to open across the street.
The neighborhood advocates pushing for the makeover insisted that the park must welcome everyone and exclude no one. No fence, and no armrests to prevent stretching out on benches. They got their way. Their $1.1 million plan, detailed by urban designer Walter Hood and architect Willie Pettus, both of Oakland, is being bankrolled by the city's redevelopment agency and by city bond funds.
The plan is made up of many small acts of faith -- new bathrooms, a children's play area, a broad picnic ground, a small grassy hill, a cluster of giant bamboo and a network of paths evoking the original square. Advocates are raising money for a second phase, which will include a community building.
The plan invites families. Theoretically, it welcomes the family of Kim Hillsman no less than the families in the new condos nearby.
Hillsman, 39, credits the people she met in the park for helping her recover from drug addiction. "Everybody here is family to me," said Hillsman, who has been coming to the park to eat for the past 11 or 12 years.
Shown planners' diagrams for the park, Hillsman was skeptical. She, and others who frequent the park, cannot help but feel as though change is slowly pushing them away.
The neighborhood's easy transportation and cheap land is attracting new businesses and residents. Another draw is Mayor-elect Jerry Brown, who just last week laid out his vision for 10,000 new residents living in neighborhoods of "elegant density" between Lake Merritt and Interstate 980, and Jack London Square and Grand Avenue.
"I want the place to be attractive for folks sitting over in the townhouse," said James Thomas, executive director of the Emergency Services Network, a nonprofit advocate for the homeless in Alameda County. "But there's got to be a meeting of interests here. I want people to be able to sit in the park and play dominoes."
The designers have dealt with that concern by thinking of the park as if it were a set of rooms. They have included areas for playing games, for performances and for family play. Their idea is that disparate activities can go on side- by-side without crowding or threatening one another.
"The standard dynamic is, people get pushed out," Pettus said. "There's been a major effort to avoid that. If you're low-income and live in a small apartment nearby and you've always spent time in this park, there's absolutely no reason why you can't stay there. In fact, you're welcome. Just because you happen to sit next to someone in a suit, there's plenty of benches."

February 22, 1862
No Senate tradition has been more steadfastly maintained than the annual reading of President George Washington's 1796 Farewell Address. In this letter to "Friends and Citizens," Washington warned that the forces of geographical sectionalism, political factionalism, and interference by foreign powers in the nation's domestic affairs threatened the stability of the Republic. He urged Americans to subordinate sectional jealousies to common national interests.
The Senate tradition began on February 22, 1862, as a morale-boosting gesture during the darkest days of the Civil War. Citizens of Philadelphia had petitioned Congress to commemorate the forthcoming 130th anniversary of Washington's birth by reading the Address at a joint meeting of both houses.
Tennessee senator Andrew Johnson introduced the petition in the Senate. "In view of the perilous condition of the country," he said, "I think the time has arrived when we should recur back to the days, the times, and the doings of Washington and the patriots of the Revolution, who founded the government under which we live."
Two by two, members of the Senate proceeded to the House Chamber for a joint session. As they moved through Statuary Hall, they passed a display of recently captured Confederate battle flags. President Abraham Lincoln, whose son Willie had died two days earlier, did not attend. But members of his cabinet, the Supreme Court, and high-ranking military officers in full uniform packed the chamber to hear Secretary of the Senate John W. Forney read the Address.
Early in 1888—the centennial year of the Constitution's ratification—the Senate recalled the ceremony of 1862 and had its presiding officer read the Address on February 22. Within a few years, the Senate made the practice an annual event.
Every year since 1896, the Senate has observed Washington's Birthday by selecting one of its members, alternating parties, to read the 7,641-word statement in legislative session. Delivery generally takes about 45 minutes. In 1985, Florida Senator Paula Hawkins tore through the text in a record-setting 39 minutes, while in 1962, West Virginia Senator Jennings Randolph, savoring each word, consumed 68 minutes.
At the conclusion of each reading, the appointed senator inscribes his or her name and brief remarks in a black, leather-bound book maintained by the Secretary of the Senate. Early entries in the notebook were typically brief explanations of the practice, accompanied by signature and date. Often, several entries appeared on a single page. In more recent years, entries have grown more elaborate and have included personal stories or comments on contemporary politics and policy. In 1956, Minnesota senator Hubert Humphrey wrote that every American should study this memorable message. "It gives one a renewed sense of pride in our republic," he wrote. "It arouses the wholesome and creative emotions of patriotism and love of country." The book's first entry bears the signature of Ohio Republican Joseph Foraker and is dated February 22, 1900. Links to selected entries are included below.

China Shipyards' MacGregor Order Bonanza
MacGregor offshore winches for 22 new anchor handling tug supply vessels (AHTSVs) under construction at three shipyards.
MacGregor, part of Cargotec, has secured new offshore winch contracts from three Chinese shipyards, Fujian Southeast, Fuzhou Baima and Guangdong Yuexin Ocean Engineering. The winches are destined for 22 anchor handling tug supply vessels (AHTSVs) under construction for a number of international owners.
"Our offshore winches have been specified for a run of new-series small and medium AHTSV developments in the 60m to 65m range," says Francis Wong, Director, Segment Sales and Marketing at MacGregor. "Most of these vessels have enhanced equipment and vessel specifications in response to the increased demands from charterers and oil companies in the South East Asia and Middle East regions. These include DP2 capabilities, increased bollard pull and more deck space. Our winches form an important part of these vessels' advanced capabilities."
The scope of deliveries includes windlasses, mooring winches, capstans, tuggers, anchor handling/towing winches and storage reels; some of the vessels will also be fitted with MacGregor shark jaws/towing pins. Deliveries will begin in August this year and will continue at intervals until March 2014.

Managed Pages introduces new concepts and components to enable these new modes of operation:
Lab Environment
Subsequent labs were developed on the following lab environment. Instructions specific to the operating system may vary, particularly for the PAA lab (Lab 7).
Sandbox / Development / Staging
Lab 1: Learn the Basics
Follow the instructions in this lab on a sandbox system to familiarize yourself with the Managed Pages user interfaces. Perform all of the steps as the WebSphere Portal administrator (wpsadmin) to avoid any access control problems.
Lab 2: Preparations - Create a Library and Grant Access to Portal Resources
Create a Simple Web Content Library
The actual structure of web content libraries on your system depends upon your requirements for content management and syndication. Labs 4 and 5 are intentionally simple and require only one simple library, which you can create by following the instructions below. Creating a distinct library emphasizes the roles assigned in Lab 2 rather than relying on any default role assignments. Alternatively, you may choose to use some other existing library, such as the default library Web Content or some combination of the libraries in CTC 4.0.
Create a simple library and some initial components by following these steps:
Grant Access
When working with your team to develop and manage your site, you should clearly define responsibilities for each person or group of people. These responsibilities will require certain access rights within WebSphere Portal and IBM Web Content Manager. This section describes several common functional types of users and administrators.
For administrative efficiency, assign access to groups rather than individuals. Then, when a functional type requires several role assignments, you can easily grant those to a new user by simply adding him to the group associated with that functional type in your organization.
Subsequent labs use the example names for users and groups introduced below.
A. Functional Type: Administrator
The Administrator administers access controls, creates web content libraries, configures syndication, and transfers releases from staging to production.
Example names: The user wpsadmin is a member of the group wpsadmins.
The subsequent labs rely upon this implicit role assignment only. You do not need to make any explicit role assignments for wpsadmin or wpsadmins for subsequent labs.
If needed, you could explicitly assign this to other administrators or groups of administrators with the Resource Permissions portlet.
B. Functional Type: User
The User consumes the published content in WebSphere Portal. The User cannot access any content prior to publication.
Example names: The user user1 is a member of the group usergrp1.
C. Functional Type: Author
The Author develops and edits page content. The Author's responsibilities include drafting pages in the project, adding or modifying content on the pages, and submitting project items for review.
Example names: The user author1 is a member of the group authorgrp1.
draft: Editor, Approver
approval: User
D. Functional Type: Reviewer
The Reviewer reviews and approves individual content items of a project. The Reviewer's responsibilities include determining if each item of a project meets its defined guidelines. This includes technical and stylistic reviews. This includes previewing content as an end user.
Example names: The user reviewer1 is a member of the group reviewergrp1.
Note: Avoid assigning the Can Run As User role to the virtual resource USERS. Assign this role per group to restrict which users the reviewer may impersonate.
Optional - You need to follow this procedure only if you took the optional step in Lab 2 Part B of revoking the default role assignments on pages for All Authenticated Portal Users (User@Published page, step 7).
approval: Approver
E. Functional Type: Manager
The Manager creates custom workflows and approves the overall project. The Manager's responsibilities include configuring workflow stages, defining custom workflows, creating page templates that use this workflow, creating projects, managing projects, and publishing projects.
Example names: The user manager1 is a member of the group managergrp1.
More Notes on Authorization
Lab 2 provides examples of how to grant requisite access rights. Because of the complexity of the role hierarchy, resource hierarchy, workflows, and user assignments in WebSphere Portal and IBM Web Content Manager, you could grant the requisite access rights in various alternative ways.
The role assignments above enable the subsequent labs in this series. They may be greater than or less than what your actual application requires. Consider your security requirements when assigning roles on any WebSphere Portal or IBM Web Content Manager resource.
Refer to the following sections of the InfoCenter for more information on role assignments:
Lab 3: Create resources to facilitate subsequent projects
In this lab, you will create two primary resource types to facilitate subsequent projects. A workflow grants varying levels of access on associated resources to users during each stage of the workflow and executes actions at specified stages. When associated with a page template, the workflow will grant access and execute specified actions on any managed pages created from that template. This association grants the workflow defined access from Lab 2. The workflow in Lab 2, Part A is intentionally simple - it includes no custom actions, no expire action, etc.
A. Manager creates a custom workflow
Lab 4: Work as a team to publish a project
In this lab, the example users introduced in Lab 2 work together to publish a simple project.
A. Manager creates the project
B. Author creates the draft page
C. Reviewer approves the draft page
D. Manager approves the project
E. User views the published page on the live site
Lab 5: Work as a team to create a content-rich site with preexisting content
Repeat Lab 4 with the following changes:
A. Manager creates the project - Use the project name Lab5Project1.
Lab 6: Work as a team to create a content-rich site with inline editing
A. Manager creates the project - Use the project name Lab6Project1.
Lab 7: Transfer your site to production with a Portal Application Archive (PAA)
In the previous labs you used Managed Pages and related functionality to develop your web site. Now you are ready to transfer that site from the development or staging server to your production server.
Labs 1-6 focus on WebSphere Portal pages and IBM Web Content Manager content. An actual application likely contains many other elements, such as custom portlets and custom themes. Installing CTC 4.0 allows you to practice transferring a complex application independently of developing one. Also, CTC 4.0 is packaged as a PAA, which you may find a useful reference when packaging your own PAA.
Note: Not all of the possible types of files are added to the example archive in this lab. For instance, if you have custom libraries (jar files) or your theme is packaged in a war or ear, refer to the WebSphere Portal documentation for the additional steps you should take to add those file to the archive:
Build the Base Portal archive on the Staging server
Prepare the target Production Portal to receive the initial release
Follow the steps in the InfoCenter to prepare the production server:
Since the labs in this white paper do not include virtual portals, you can skip steps specific to preparing virtual portals. Creating an initial release for a WebSphere Portal installation with virtual portals involves creating multiple Portal Application Archives (PAA), one for the base or initial portal instance and one for each virtual portal. WebSphere Portal has artifacts that are shared by all virtual portals and artifacts that are unique for each virtual portal. The PAA for the base portal holds the shared components and the unique components of the base portal, while each PAA representing a virtual portal contains only the unique resources for a virtual portal.
Deploy the initial release on the Production Portal
Lab 8: Transfer minor release from staging to production with Syndication
Managed Pages allows you to transfer the WebSphere Portal page hierarchy and IBM Web Content Manager content simultaneously with syndication. This eases the requirement in earlier versions to procedurally synchronize syndication and XMLAccess events. The procedure below is suitable for a minor release that includes new pages and new content. Syndication does not update custom code or configuration made through the WebSphere Application Server Integrated Solutions Console.
Managed Pages provides you with an array of functionality to manage your WebSphere Portal site and IBM Web Content Manager content from development through to staging and production. Now that you have learned its components, you are prepared to put Managed Pages to work in your environment.
The WebSphere Portal and IBM Web Content Manager support teams collaborated to produce this white paper.
Re: Managed Pages
hi Jason
this article is under best practices, i want to know whats the best practice suggested, when we are using mls with managed pages, how can we add the managed portal page, and the content created in 2 languages in one project to be published all together?

As a community-minded group of professionals, CBEA is proud to support these organizations that have a positive impact on students and families in the Central Bucks School District:
CB Cares Educational Foundation
CB Cares Educational Foundation is a community coalition of individuals, businesses, and agencies, whose goal is to promote positive values, attitudes, and behaviors, particularly in our community's youth. For over 18 years our mission has been to engage, empower, and link individuals and organizations to meet this end. The framework for CBCEFs' programs and initiatives is the 40 Developmental Assets, a research-based approach to cultivating the most important qualities which create caring, competent, and resilient individuals. The more assets an individual possesses, the more likely they are "protected" from the risk factors that face them in their daily lives.
The Peace Center
The Peace Center is located in Langhorne, Pennsylvania. We have been working for community peace and social justice since 1982. Our programs are designed to help reduce violence and conflict in our schools, homes and communities through a multicultural, community-based approach. We are dedicated to furthering peace by understanding and managing conflict in our community, our nation and our world.
Relay For Life
Created in 2004 by CBEA teachers, the American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Central Bucks Middle Schools is held each spring at Tohickon Middle School. Participants in 8th and 9th grade have raised over 3 million dollars in the fight against cancer since the inception of this event, which involves over 5,000 members of our community annually.
High School Theater Productions
The theater programs at all three high schools strive to not only offer professional-level production but also great learning experiences. This is done by making sure that students are involved in all aspects of the production. Each school performs at least two full productions a year!

I fell in love with the homes of Île d'Orléans, with their grand architecture. Not knowing much of the history of the island yet, I remember feeling like I was swept back in time, to an era of centuries ago. To an era of people savoring the outdoors and food of their island. To a place where the home was for family and friends visiting, sitting, talking, laughing, eating. All outdoors on a grand, inviting, hospitable porch. – Debby Lee Jagerman-Dungan
It was a dark and stormy afternoon. Which was odd, because the rest of the day, and most of the previous two days, it had been sunny and quite warm. At first it started to rain lightly. I took my rain jacket out of my backpack to cover myself, put a pack cover over my backpack, and continued on with my walking. I had just left the Les Fromages de l'Îsle d'Orléans, tasting several delicious types of locally made cheese, along with some grapes and crackers, which made a delicious snack. A few moments later, it began to rain harder. I took shelter under a tree to put on my rain pants, and to protect my camera and cell phone. I then set out for the last few miles of my 10 miles of walking for the day.
Sneaking in a few pictures in between the rain drops of a roadside cross, one of several scattered throughout the island, the rain began to pour harder, coming down in buckets. Hiding my camera once again, I saw an open barn of a farm and took shelter, along with two bicyclists. All of us hoping that the rain would lighten up. We waited. And waited. And waited.
I knew I didn't have much further to go on my walk that day, and since I was walking the entire 42-mile Chemin Royal, the road that encircles Île d'Orléans, an island near Quebec City, Canada, I didn't want to miss a single step. So I decided to stick it out, and kept on walking. Even with the rain that felt like I was now under a waterfall.
And then it began. The thunder. And lightning. Ok, I thought, not much further now. I can handle this. I persisted on until I saw one of the dozens of food specialty shops on the island. For some relief from the rain, I took shelter in La Halte des Anges, a shop that sells pies, jams, and jellies prepared from fresh local strawberries. This reminded me of all the fresh fruits and vegetables grown on the island that I had been experiencing during my days walking, available to purchase at roadside stands, pick-your-own, or created into so many delectable products. La Halte des Anges also sold lavender products also made on the island. I could smell the aroma, just as I had smelled earlier that day, as I had walked amongst a 10-acre garden of lavender, with 75,000 lavender plants at Seigneurie de l'île d'Orléans. Ironic that the loose translation of the name La Halte des Anges is "The Stopping Place of Angels." Just what I needed, some guardian angels watching over me as the rain, thunder, and lightning would not let up.
It was getting to be near 5:00 now, and the shop was closing. So once again, I trudged on. Not wanting to miss a single step. But the thunder and lightning struck again. And again. And again. I began counting the seconds in between, remembering from my childhood that the fewer the seconds in between, the closer the storm. Three seconds. Two seconds. One second! Too close for comfort. Now what do I do? Although I knew I was close to my destination for the evening, I really didn't exactly know how much further. A mile? A half a mile? I stuck my thumb out hoping to hitch a ride. No luck.
Then I saw a home. A home with a porch. A porch similar to the ones that I had been photographing dozens, no hundreds, of times during my walk around Île d'Orléans. A grand, inviting, hospitable porch, like the ones I just published in my book, "The Porches of Île d'Orléans: Seeing the Island through its Windows and Doors while Walking Chemin Royal." (Available on Amazon.) Part of my journey around the island, aside from visiting as many of its forty food specialty shops and restaurants, bakeries, wineries, chocolateries, and twenty arts and crafts boutiques and galleries as I could, was also taking photographs of windows and doors, my favorite subject when I travel. This island has a 350-year old New France history, culture, religion, and architecture. With many homes built in the 19th, 18th, even 17th centuries, based on this New France architectural style, and some in a Québécois style, they included porches.
But this porch was a bit different. It was shelter, once again. I ran under it, dripping, no sopping wet. Not really minding that I myself was wet, but more trying to protect my camera and cell phone, even with it being protected already. I sat on a chair that was under the porch. I began to dream of the locally made double chocolate and hazelnut-chocolate ice creams I had earlier in the day at the Chocolaterie de l'Île d'Orléans.
Trying to figure out what to do next, in between the loud thunder, trying to think, decide. I could no longer see the fields and crops of the farmland landscape of the island. I could no longer see the mountains of Québec Province in the background, or the waters of the Saint Lawrence River surrounding the island. Île d'Orléans is an island where there are no fences between the homes and farms, where people leave their clothes hanging out on lines to dry in the fresh air. It is an island with 600 historic buildings and monuments, including parish churches and chapels. I had to breathe.
I decided to call the bed and breakfast that I was staying at that night, to see if they could come pick me up. I dialed, she answered. But the sound of the thunder was too loud. She could not hear me. The connection was bad. I hung up and tried again. Nope, same thing. She could not understand my need for a ride. I sat hoping the rain, and thunder, and lightning would stop.
Nope. No such luck. The thunder. The lightning. Right there. I have never been caught in a storm such as this, even in all my walking travels. Even in all my hiking and backpacking trips in the mountains.
Finally, noticing the garage and the car next to the porch that I was taking shelter under, I thought, aha! Perhaps the people who live in this home could take me to where I wanted to go. I knocked. On the door. A man answered. And his wife in the background. Yes! I thought. But alas, as I rattled my story to them in English, dripping wet…I'm-walking-the-island-I-have-no-bicycle-no-car-it-is-raining-no-it-is-pouring-it-is-thundering-and-lightning-and-I-am-hoping-you-could-please-give-me-a-ride-to-my-bed-and-breakfast…they looked at me like I was crazy. Well, not that I was crazy, but they just didn't understand. They only spoke French.
So I began to use my best sign language, a language hopefully that we shared in common. As the thunder and lightening struck, and startled us all, I gestured out and pointed to the rain. They knew that. I pointed to my dripping self. They saw that. I used my index and middle finger, pointing downwards, moving side by side, to indicate walking. They seemed to get that. I pointed to their car, and used my arms and fists rotating to symbolize driving. They got that! And I pointed to the name of the bed and breakfast on my itinerary. Yes, he understood! I was rescued from the storm!
The kind gentleman went to get his keys and his rain jacket, and drove me, what turned out to be no more than a half mile to my bed and breakfast. I thanked him as best I could. Merci beaucoup! Merci beaucoup! Merci beaucoup! A thousand times.
The next morning, the woman at the bed and breakfast kindly drove me back to that home with the grand, inviting, hospitable porch that I took shelter under, so that I could begin my walk from where I left off, in the warm sun, on my final day of walking around the 42-mile road encircling Île d'Orléans. So as not to miss a single step, so that I could resume exploring all that this island has to offer, and so that I could continue taking pictures of the grand, inviting, hospitable porches.
Sweet Travels!
"The Porches of Île d'Orléans: Seeing the Island through its Windows and Doors while Walking Chemin Royal" is my travel photography book that contains over 100 pictures of the windows, doors, and porches of the island. I even found a website that told me the year of construction of many of the homes, and I have included these years in the book. For example, homes that were built in 1920, 1900, 1890, 1865, 1777, 1700, and earlier. The book is in both English and French. Available on Amazon.
By the way, for privacy purposes, I have not included a picture the porch that I took shelter under in this blog. It is in the book though, but not identified.
Inspired from my walk around the 42-mile Chemin Royal, as well as from a song written by a French-Canadian singer-songwriter, Félix Leclerc, where he describes Île d'Orléans as "42 miles of quiet things," I came up with "42 Reasons to Visit Île d'Orléans." And a "Travel Guide to Île d'Orléans," and "Tips for Walking Île d'Orléans" to assist you with your journey to the island.
Here is a list of my 42 reasons to visit Île d'Orléans, as well as a few other blogs, including My Travel Guide, My Tips for Walking, My Walking Tour, and My Book!!

Venice, Italy, is one of the most stunning cities in the world and a prime vacation spot for vacationers. But for those who're on a tight finances, you might have crossed it off your bucket listing. Do not! Many ways will be found to scale back the expense and make it potential for you to get pleasure from this delightful city!
Will Borden, photographer and my husband each cherished the Grand Canyon area. We didn't get to the Northeastern parks but are planning journey there next summer season. Lovely country, lovely lens. Blessed by this angel. The tickets processing systems in Europe are very inefficient. Wave and pay is nearly non-existent or very rare. The best way the tickets are paid for and processed is extraordinarily gradual.
All went nicely for the first two performances. I couldn't complain. I used to be enthusiastic by the reception of each the galleries and the visitors. Throughout her tour, the lethal Asian tsunami struck. Because of this, Cher decided to take all of the proceeds from her show and donate them to catastrophe aid. Start setting up the decorations. Plan a stream chart or a map of how visitors to your haunted house will move by way of it. Old pictures of the Waverly Hills staff and pictures of staged procedures held on the walls; serving as a remorseful overture to the woeful tales we might quickly study. Will visit Korea soon after virtually going by way of your journey! Thanks for sharing.
Lots of people discover themselves dealing with increasingly stress. Sadly, the trendy conveniences of our collective society have not lowered our general stress degree. After years of warrior care and a profitable limb re-attachment ( proper leg ) Breckheimer was then dealt with another set again – divorce. The beauty of Hawaii is amazing. It is like paradise. I hope to have the ability to see and enjoy it at some point. Thanks very a lot for a take a look at such beauty.

Parker Ranch also accommodates private parties on the ranch. No group is too massive or too small. The ranch has seen many a wedding occasion over the years! Woww the knowledge I see here's a fully completely different thought to what i assumed Korea was all about! ha 😀 Those photos are just too beautiful, I might love to make a visit there sooner or later. Wonderful piece of labor. I missed this one after I was first in Washington state. I may should take a trip if we're ever up there again. value: as much as 4 people 162 e as much as 10 people 392 e Greater teams please contact us in advance.
creativeone59— You are most welcome, expensive. This article was completely my pleasure. I've to do a kind of here and there. I am glad you loved it. God Bless You! You cross the Chapel Bridge to the start line, where you hear from the warfare and some of the wars of the Swiss Confederation and where the tour ends. You may be a part of that reality this summer time by getting into the Tour de Tooting on Sunday third July. Might be heading out to sacramento soon to have a beautiful evening with a wonderful band!!! It's official the Mac is back. Very attention-grabbing details. Sure, Chinese language temples are arrange otherwise than others on the earth. I enjoyed your pictures and explanations.
Taking Cunty Road 204 south to State Route 2, travel east to find Metzger Marsh Wildlife Area, Ottawa Nationwide Wildlife Refuge, Magee March Wildlife Space, Turtle Creek Bay, and Massive Sand Bay located in a big cluster collectively. Yes a child did die after falling down the elevator shaft when Rev. Sherman and his followers had been there. An Icelandic whale watching firm is offering free tickets to England's soccer workforce after their crew knocked them out of the Euro 2016 finals. The ultimate and decisive finesse. The knight is sacrificed to deflect the e4-pawn, the last impediment. commercial dealings of document companies. As quickly as they get a tape they release it in all places without consulting the group. Not too long ago we noticed a screech owl flying around outdoors after the solar set, and my spouse stated it will be perfect for a haunted house. So I would play screech owl sounds.

I'm not sure. I guess I'd do pretty much anything to prevent it. I would think you'd feel hollow without your ability to love.ReplyDelete
I'd try to show them that the world can't exist without love. Love is what makes living worth while.Delete
Take away my ability to love? Not sure if that's possible. It's in our nature to love.I'd totally fight whoever tried to take it away though. I think most people would :)
I have this on my shelf. I should pick it up sometime and actually read it. Lol....I say that about most books on my shelves though.
I would try my hardest to get that ability back.ReplyDelete
Hmmm... I don't think that's possible, no matter how hard they try. I'd definitely fight them, though.
I've had this book on my tbr list for awhile, thanks for the chance to win it! :)
This was a fantastic novel, I'd love to own it. I still haven't managed to get my hands on the sequel, damn this poverty!ReplyDelete
Oh, to answer the entry question...I don't know, part of me thinks I might enjoy it.ReplyDelete
Ha, you and I share so many similar cynicisms. We should talk. :PDelete
I have no idea what I'd do! I would probably try to make it impossible for whoever was trying to do that, because a world without love would just suck. lolReplyDelete
