On May 13 I reported that, after a report by Dean Rakesh Khurana, Harvard's President Drew Faust instituted a new University policy: students who belonged to non-University single-sex organizations, like fraternities, sororities, and "final clubs," would be subject to sanctions by Harvard. Those sanctions included Harvard's denial of any leadership positions in student organizations to members of such groups (these positions include being captain of single-sex sports teams), as well as the University's refusal to write letters of recommendation to applicants for prestigious fellowships like the Rhodes and Marshall. (That would effectively sink those students' chances.)
That policy, made without consulting faculty or students, had an admirable goal: to reduce sexism and sexual harassment and assault. But the means were invidious: penalizing students' freedom of association off campus. As a Harvard alum, I wrote a letter to President Faust (copy here) objecting to the policy, and got back this noncomittal reply:
Dear Mr. Coyne,
Thank you very much for taking the time to write. I appreciate having your perspective on this important set of issues, and I have taken the liberty of sharing your concerns with Dean Khurana.
Drew Faust
Now, according to the Harvard Crimson (the student newspaper), a group of 16 faculty have prepared a resolution against Faust's new policy and plan to introduce it to the faculty senate. The pdf is here, and here's the letter. You'll recognize at least one of the signatories:
Resolved: Harvard College shall not discriminate against students on the basis of organizations they join, nor political parties with which they affiliate, nor social, political or other affinity groups they join, as long as those organizations, parties, or groups have not been judged to be illegal.
Argument. This resolution codifies longstanding University practice. Harvard has established nondiscrimination policies for its educational and administrative purposes, but throughout the history of the College a student has been able to be at once a full member of the Harvard community and also a member of other communities with different policies. The Faculty sets standards for student behavior when it votes the Handbook for Students, but students may exercise their civil right to free assembly without fear that Harvard will disadvantage them because they have joined an organization that does not comply with Harvard policies.
This understanding was articulated in the 1992 report on ROTC ("the Verba report"). "Harvard is not and should not be responsible for the policies and practices of the wide variety of external organizations in which its students may choose to participate …. Some of our students belong to organizations, such as religious or single-sex social clubs, that have membership requirements which would be impermissible under the University's non-discrimination policy…. [I]ntrusion by the University into the private choices of students, acting as individuals, to … participate in such external activities would, we believe, be unacceptably paternalistic."
The Verba committee considered and explicitly rejected the option of sanctioning individual students who chose to join ROTC in spite of its discriminatory policies. "Even if the University itself abandoned all direct support of ROTC, it could proceed further and seek to prohibit Harvard students from enrolling in an ROTC unit or accepting an ROTC scholarship because of the discriminatory policy of the military. This would be a paternalistic policy inconsistent with Harvard's general approach. It would single out ROTC for disadvantageous treatment compared to other outside organizations or funding sources, and would seek to extend the reach of Harvard's non-discrimination policy beyond its proper boundaries."
These "proper boundaries" were not specified in the 1992 legislation, probably because they went without saying. Recent administrative proposals suggest that there is uncertainty about the limits of Harvard's control over students' lives. We therefore believe that this legislation, based on University precedent, history, and practice, is needed to protect the rights of current and future students—and, indeed, by extension, the rights of current and future faculty and staff.

Biology professor Richard M. Losick, one of the motion's signatories, said that although he had discussed the sanctions informally with colleagues since the announcement, he was not aware that administrators consulted faculty on the policy. Losick added that he was "no fan" of final clubs, but worried that administrators's actions represented a threat to the "fundamental right of freedom of association."
"The action from the Dean and approved by the President was taken without consultation with the Faculty," Losick said, adding that he found it "disappointing that there was not an opportunity for it to be discussed among the faculty before such new procedures were put into place."
Can the Dean and President actually implement such a policy without the faculty's and students' assent? Can the faculty overturn this policy by a vote? Neither answer is clear. But President Faust has made a misstep with this one, and I predict that the policy won't actually go into effect (it's scheduled to begin next year).
Finally, Harry Lewis, the professor of computer science who signed the letter above, and a former Dean of the College, wrote a separate letter of objection to Dean Khurana and President Faust; you can see that here.

It's hard to classify this song into one single genre, which helps explain why it's called "All Mixed Up" in the first place.
At its core is a solid pop foundation, but that's surrounded by the riffs of heavy guitar rock and the beats of an electronic touch. And yet, somehow, this eclectic blend unites to form a catchy tune.
No matter how you categorize "All Mixed Up," its always going to stand on its own as something unique — and that's not a bad thing!

News, reviews and recommended reading for sports fans who love to read books about sport.
Burn's classic study of snooker phenomenon
It is 25 years now since Dennis Taylor and Steve Davis kept the nation awake as 18.5 million viewers watched the final of all world snooker finals go to the very last black before the Ulsterman in the daft glasses held his cue above his head with both hands and then wagged his finger at the television camera.
Yet, as the championships begin to unfold again in Sheffield, still pulling in the punters at the iconic Crucible Theatre, still attracting at least respectable television audience, the appeal of the game, and its blue riband event in particular, still owes something to that moment.
The two protagonists are still about the place, delivering their informed punditry on the new generation. But memories fade, the characters of what was then a soap opera as much as a sport, whose dramas and scandals would be played out at the front of the newspapers as frequently as their performances at the table appeared at the back, have long since slipped away in relative obscurity.
Happily, thanks to the percipience of a writer who was to become something of a literary celebrity, the age has been perfectly preserved on the page.
Gordon Burn, who had written with distinction about Peter Sutcliffe -- the Yorkshire Ripper -- in Somebody's Husband, Somebody's Son, saw in the snooker boom an opportunity to examine a growing public obsession with celebrity through a game blessed with a cast of personalities that was unrivalled in sport.
He spent a year on the snooker circuit, following the dysfunctional lives of Alex Higgins and Jimmy White and the game's other wilder characters and observing the zeal with which Barry Hearn, an accountant from Dagenham turned sports promoter, pursued the chance to generate riches and turn his principle client, the seemingly automatous Davis, into the greatest player in the world.
The result, Pocket Money, remains the best book written about snooker and is deservedly acclaimed as a classic across all sports genres.
It was reissued in paperback two years ago by Faber and Faber. Burn, who died last year aged 61, also wrote about celebrity in football in Best and Edwards: Football, Fame and Oblivion.

Exact Fake Watches Replica - Patek Philippe Replica, Franck Muller Replica, Breguet Replica
The patek philippe gondolo replica won't be selected since the buyer can't afford more complicated replica watch. They will probably have individuals already within their collection.
Don't misinterpret my remarks, I really like haute horology. I spend many enjoyable hrs looking in the amazing craftsmanship from the artisans I've grown to admire. However, sometimes delight are available in the less complex. Simplicity affords its very own reward.
Make a summer's day, an British rose, a brand new faced nymph, casually strolling via a mountain field. She dances with the lengthy grass. It sways within the gentle breeze and caresses the hem of her simple dress. Sitting alongside you and also nestling around the honey coloured grass, you consume fresh made bread together. Possibly you indulge your appetite after some cheese and drink simple honest wine having a uncomplicated, quaffable flavour.
Admire the dial of the Patek Philippe replica watch and you don't see plenty of sub-dials and hands however a beautiful rose coloured dial looking back to you.
The dial doesn't need heavy constitute to seduce your vision, it blushes lightly. The wholesomeness of their complexion isn't corrupted using the unnecessary. Breguet numerals portrayed in black, cleanly and succinctly convey time.
A patek philippe gondolo calendario replica beautiful highlight may be the subsidiary seconds dial, having a guilloché pattern of concentric rings, with small indices marked around the circumference.
Shoulders from the situation are highly polished white-colored gold, walked in design using the crown partly recessed and guarded. The white-colored gold is really a noble metal yet silently spoken. It doesn't need to self-promote. It's self-assured.
The style of the replica watch is art deco in fashion. Regular readers of ESCAPEMENT knows I've got a particular liking with this period. After I view this replica watch, I know residing in the 1920's and sporting this lovely on my small arm.
Consider the view in the side from the situation and you may understand the cambered tonneau situation born to relax snugly around the fortunate wrist.
I personally use the word "honest" to explain the way in which Patek Philippe doesn't cheat the wearer using a round calibre inside a tonneau situation. They offer a calibre which perfectly mimics the form from the situation it's housed within.
The calibre could be respected with the azure situation back. This can be a view to become valued. C?tes de Genève motif is presented in perfect form around the bridges. Overturn from the base plate features circular graining.
I talk of simplicity but using the easier Patek Philippe calibres there is nothing that easy. The finissage is beyond reproach with screw heads chamfered and polished by hands.
Patek Philippe attests towards the craftsmanship within the output of its timepieces by observing stringent controls and just once the replica watch has met them will it leave the manufacture bearing the Patek Seal.
The customer of the replica watch, will select it because of its matchless movement, its wonderful design and also the beautiful rose coloured dial which supplies visual nutrition with each and every glance.
The patek philippe gondolo replica watches epitome of elegance, an exemplar of haute horology it maintains an unpretentious simplicity which imparts delight to the owner.

Santa Monica's Left Hook comes to San Diego politics
Out-of-town opposition research firm paid $2500; cable TV buy totals $138,740
Matt Potter 12:31 p.m., Jan. 27
Lunch dates with my three-year-old daughter are usually a casual affair. I'm not a fan of the big chain fast food type places, and I can only eat so many Target hot dogs or diner sandwiches. Therefore, I count myself lucky that as much as I love sushi, my daughter loves teriyaki chicken and steamed rice.
This week, we decided to check out a place in the neighborhood that we hadn't yet tried. All I knew was that it's called Sushiman and that it's in Eastlake. When we arrived, I was pleased to see that we had come on the right day. One of the two daily specials was the teriyaki chicken plate ($6.99 on Mondays, $7.99 every other day).
Though the special price was higher than I usually pay for this dish, it came with two gyoza, rice, salad, and miso soup. I figured it would probably enough for my daughter and I to share, so I ordered it along with a four-piece spicy tuna roll ($2.69). That, plus two drinks, and our total came to $14.20.
Inside, the restaurant looks like it does more take-out than dine-in business. Aside from two large booths and two small tables, the place is a big square of wide-open space. While we ate at one of the booths, people came and went with take-out bags.
The teriyaki chicken was not a big hit with the little one. She prefers chicken, teriyaki sauce, and white rice only. This dish had mushrooms, carrots, and sesame seeds, and the sauce was a tad peppery for her. I had to scrape all carrot remnants from the chicken before she'd eat it.
Won't be doing that again.
Although I liked the flavor of the chicken, even with the extras, it wasn't worth the price. The gyoza was dry, and the pool of dressing was a poor attempt at hiding limp lettuce. I enjoyed the spicy tuna roll, but it wasn't any better than it is at the handful of other sushi joints nearby.
If I'm ever dying for sushi while shopping at our neighborhood Trader Joe's, I might be back, but for now, I'm not in a big hurry.

The end of the year is nearby, time for some New Year's resolutions!
Last year we provided some help to get started for busy Scrum Product Owners, this year we want to support busy Scrum Masters.
I'm sure a lot of you who aren't native English speakers might be wondering what a brown bag session is, so let's start with that. The brown bag refers to the brown paper bag traditionally used to bring a sandwich or other lunch items. To complete the reference, a brown bag session is therefore a short (usually 1 hour) session over lunch or light dinner during which a specific topic can be presented or discussed.
Ikigai is a Japanese concept meaning "a reason for being". Everyone, according to the Japanese, has an ikigai. Finding it requires a deep and often lengthy search of self. Such a search is regarded as being very important, since it is believed that discovery of one's ikigai brings satisfaction and meaning to life.
Lately I've been seeing the classic skill matrix used more and more in companies in order to create teams and identify knowledge gaps. The tool is excellent for that, but recently I've come across a few modifications of the technique that make it so much more powerful, and to my surprise it was hard to find detailed information about these modifications online. Hence this blogpost.
The classic skill matrix works like this:
It can be hard to explicitly appreciate someone for their behaviour. And it can be even harder to accept appreciation. And yet appreciation is something that can have such a big impact on people's motivation. Achievement cards use the gamification element of achievements, getting recognition for a certain behaviour or perseverance.
Whenever we do a kick-off of a new team, we also help them start their journey together by defining their team goal, vision and/or values. This visualisation of the team goal helps the team grow mutual understanding and speed up their team bonding process. Making a visual representation of this goal gives an easy aid to reminding team members of the elements they had all agreed upon.
The internet is full of little lists about what motivates us, which are usually a mix of intrinsic an extrinsic motivation. But how can you find out which intrinsic motivational element is important for your team members? And do these motivators stay the same throughout someone's career, or under the influence of a major change in your company?
One of the tools we often use to get to that understanding is the technique Moving Motivators from the Management 3.0 toolkit. It starts from the 10 intrinsic work related motivators:
In this article I want to go a bit deeper into the subject of taking job interviews in order to find the right person for the job. How it is done in some companies today. How others make it their business and how you could avoid loosing time and money within the process by doing it differently. Why? Because I think in traditional ways...
Job interviews are a fraud!
Ever since I have been guiding teams and organizations towards a more effective business environment to work in, I have been searching for guidelines and practices to support "managers" in their quest to steer their teams successfully.

Greece downs tools as vital vote on €13.5bn cuts needed for aid
FACING its greatest challenge since assuming power in June, Greece's fragile coalition government is heading for a cliffhanger vote today on fresh austerity measures with the country paralysed by a 48-hour general strike.
Tens of thousands of people took to the streets yesterday to protest over policies that have increased poverty and unemployment.
With Greece's eurozone future dependent on passage of the €13.5bn package, the finance minister, Yannis Stournaras, implored wavering MPs to back the bill, saying it was the only way of assuring debt-stricken Athens did not default on its mountain of debt.
"The country has to adopt this package of measures to which it has committed to avoid bankruptcy," the technocrat told a parliamentary committee on the eve of the ballot.
"We are now at the most crucial crossroads and we have to make the right decision. The road ahead is difficult and steep but it is our historic responsibility to complete the effort that we have begun."
International creditors at the EU and IMF say adoption of the budget cuts is crucial to releasing €31.5bn in rescue funds that are desperately needed by a state whose coffers are due to run dry by November 16.
The country's embattled prime minister, Antonis Samaras, has pledged the measures "will be the very last" to be imposed on a nation whose disposable income has dropped by an estimated 35pc since the eruption of Europe's debt crisis in Athens three years ago.
But with pensions and wages set to be slashed, taxes increased and the retirement age raised, the promise has fallen on deaf ears with unions and anti-bailout forces, led by the radical left main opposition Syriza party, vowing to step up opposition on the street and in the corridors of power.
Meanwhile, France is to grant €20bn in annual tax credits to companies as a way of lowering labour costs, in a tougher-than-expected response to calls from business leaders to reverse decades of industrial decline.
Business leaders said they would have preferred direct cuts to labour costs but the package is in the right direction.
Economists said Socialist President Francois Hollande was sending the right message to outsiders concerned that France's record-low bond yields might understate its economic fragility next to Germany. (Reuters)
The government also aims to save €12.5bn from cuts to public spending and health insurance from next year.

Loving the long exposure shots,
I've been trying with daytime ones but not quite getting it right yet.
Which filters do you use? think i need a decent set.
timdove posted a comment on 7 April 2014 at 1:34 pm
Hi ian, thank you. I've got a couple of filters I use but for the blea tarn and wastwater shots I used a 10 stop ND filter. You need a 10 stop for daytime long exposures. There are loads available and range in price. I bought the Tiffen 3.0 10 stop ND Filter, about £20. A bargain in my opinion and good quality. Loads of on online reviews. Best piece of equipment I've bought. Hope that helps. Look forward to seeing some long exposure shots soon. Cheers tim.

A lovely part of the world and your pictures really do it a credit. Thank you for sharing them.

Hi Tim,
I'm loving your shots – transports me straight back to the lakes back home in Sweden!
A bit of a random one – I work for a company called forpeople. We are currently embarking on some research into camera design and are looking to meet photographers to gather opinions, particularly on compact system cameras. I was wondering if you'd be keen in taking part in a short expert interview?
We'll be conducting some informal sessions on the 1st and 2nd of August at our premises in central London. Each session will last between 60-90 minutes, and participants will be given £100 as a thank you for taking part.
Happy to share further details if this sounds of interest!

Settlement Agreement between the United States of America and Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.
Under Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act
On January 16, 2009, the Civil Rights Division entered into a settlement agreement with Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. under Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to improve access for persons with disabilities at Wal-Mart stores nationwide. The agreement resolves an investigation that was initiated after the Department received several complaints alleging that Wal-Mart had refused to make reasonable modifications to its rules, policies, practices, and procedures for customers with disabilities in violation of Title III of the ADA. Many of the complaints alleged that persons with disabilities were denied access to Wal-Mart stores or were denied an equal opportunity to shop, free of repeated challenges by Wal-Mart staff, because they were accompanied by service animals. Service animals are dogs and other animals that are individually trained to work or perform tasks for persons with disabilities.
The settlement agreement covers all facilities located in the United States where Wal-Mart sells any good or service to members of the public, including all Wal-Mart stores, Supercenters, Sam's Clubs, and Neighborhood Markets. The settlement agreement, which will be effective for three years, requires Wal-Mart to take several steps to improve access for customers with disabilities, including:
- an undertaking by Wal-Mart not to discriminate in violation of Title III of the ADA and to provide reasonable modifications to individuals with disabilities as required by Title III of the ADA, such as disability-related assistance such as helping customers in locating, lifting, and carrying items;
- the adoption and implementation of an ADA-compliant policy of welcoming persons with disabilities who use service animals into Wal-Mart stores with little or no questioning and without repeated challenges by Wal-Mart employees;
- training for all employees on Wal-Mart's obligations under Title III of the ADA to make reasonable modifications for individuals with disabilities and Wal-Mart's new ADA-compliant service animal policy;
- additional training for store management and People Greeters, since employees in these positions have additional responsibilities under Wal-Mart's new service animal policy;
- the posting of Wal-Mart's new service animal policy on its website and in employee areas at its stores;
- the establishment of a grievance procedure in which Wal-Mart will receive complaints alleging violations of Title III of the ADA at a toll-free hotline, investigate such complaints, and take appropriate corrective actions to resolve any noncompliance with Title III of the ADA, including relief to complainants where appropriate;.
Under the settlement agreement, Wal-Mart will also pay $150,000 into a fund to compensate certain individuals with disabilities who filed administrative complaints with the Department alleging Wal-Mart's refusal to make reaonable modifications, including the denial of equal access to persons with disabilities who use service animals. The Civil Rights Division will determine which complainants are to receive damages from the fund and the amount of damages to be received.
In furtherance of the public interest, Wal-Mart will also pay an additional $100,000 into a fund that will be used by the Civil Rights Division to finance a public service announcement campaign to increase public awareness of the access rights of persons with disabilities who use service animals. The nature and scope of the public service announcement campaign will be determined by the Civil Rights Division.
The settlement agreement is posted on the Department of Justice's ADA Home Page at http://www.ada.gov.
Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., is committed to making reasonable modifications to its policies, practices, and procedures to permit the use of service animals by its customers with disabilities. Service animals play an important role in ensuring the independence of people with disabilities, and it is therefore our policy to welcome into our stores any animal that is individually trained to assist a person with a disability.
What is a Service Animal?
Service animals are individually trained to work or perform tasks for individuals with disabilities. Service animals are not always dogs; other animals may assist people with disabilities. Service animals come in all breeds and sizes, may be trained either by an organization or by an individual with a disability, and need not be certified or licensed. Service animals do not always have a harness, a sign, or a symbol indicating that they are service animals. A service animal is not a pet. Service animals assist people with disabilities in many different ways, such as:
- Guiding people who are blind or have low vision and retrieving dropped objects for them;
- Alerting people who are deaf or hard of hearing to sounds and the presence of others;
- Carrying and picking up items, opening doors, or flipping switches for people with disabilities who have limited use of hands or arms, limited use of their legs, or limited ability to bend or stoop;
- Pulling wheelchairs;
- Alerting people with disabilities to the onset of medical conditions such as seizures, protecting them and cushioning them if they fall and reviving them.
- Doing work or performing tasks for persons with traumatic brain injury, intellectual disabilities, or psychiatric disabilities, such as reminding a person with depression to take medication or waking him up, helping people with traumatic brain injury to locate misplaced items, or follow daily routines.
- Providing physical support and assisting people with physical disabilities with stability and balance.
People Greeter Responsibilities:
Wal-Mart welcomes customers with service animals. People Greeters are the Wal-Mart associates responsible for determining if an animal is a service animal. Most of the time, people with disabilities who use service animals may be easily identified without any need for questioning. If you can tell by looking, you should not make the customer feel unwelcome by asking questions. If you are unsure whether an animal meets the definition of a service animal, one People Greeter and, where necessary, a member of Store Management may ask the customer only one question:
- Is this a service animal required because of a disability?
If the customer says yes or otherwise explains that the animal is required because of a disability, you should welcome the person and service animal into the store. Do not ask any further questions about the customer or his or her service animal. You may not ask a customer questions about his or her disability. You may not ask a customer to show a license, certification, or a special ID card as proof of their animal's training. You must permit service animals to accompany customers with disabilities to all areas of our stores normally used by other customers.
All Associates' Responsibilities Regarding Service Animals:
Once a customer with a service animal has passed the People Greeters and entered the store, no associates may ask the customer any further questions about his or her service animal. You must permit service animals to accompany customers with disabilities to all areas of the store normally used by customers. This includes areas of the store that contain food. Treat customers with service animals with the same courtesy and respect that Wal-Mart affords to all of our customers. Service animals are not pets. Do not interfere with the important work performed by a service animal by talking to, petting, or otherwise initiating contact with a service animal. If you have a concern about an animal in a store, contact a manager or assistant manager. Only a manager (or, in the absence of a manager, an assistant manager) can make the decision to exclude a service animal, except in the unusual circumstance where a service animal's behavior requires immediate action to prevent imminent injury to others and there is not enough time to contact a manager.
Manager Responsibilities:
In the event that a particular service animal's vicious behavior poses a direct threat to the health or safety of others, the service animal is acting out of control and the owner does not take action to correct its behavior, or in the unlikely event that Wal-Mart can demonstrate that a particular service animal's conduct fundamentally alters the nature of the store's business, Wal-Mart has the right to exclude the animal from a store at that time. Barking alone is not a direct threat. In addition, a direct threat does not exist if the service animal's owner takes prompt, effective action to control the animal. Moreover, Wal-Mart will not exclude a particular service animal based on past experience with other animals or based on fear that is not related to a service animal's actual behavior. Each situation will be considered individually. In the event Wal-Mart excludes a service animal, it may not refuse service to the individual with a disability when he or she is not accompanied by that particular service animal.
In a store where a People Greeter is not present, a manager or assistant manager may ask the People Greeter question identified above.
Customers can make complaints about the improper treatment of customers with service animals by calling 1-800-963-8442. People with disabilities have the right to be accompanied by service animals in Wal-Mart stores under the Americans with Disabilities Act, and Wal-Mart considers interference with or denial of this right to be a serious violation of Company policy. Wal-Mart will promptly investigate all complaints raising this issue and will take appropriate disciplinary action when associates fail to comply with this Policy.
– Thanks to NVRC, Fairfax

Prior to seeking legal advice, I was apprehensive and rather anxious, Pauline and John were instantly reassuring and put me at ease.
The service I received was exceptional and all of the legal team were extremely supportive through a difficult divorce. I couldn't have asked for a better service. Thank you Pauline, John and team.

Acelity Announces Expansion of Prevena™ Therapy Portfolio with Addition of Shorter Peel & Place™ System
New system allows clinicians to better manage smaller incisions and anatomically challenging areas
SAN ANTONIO, October 8, 2015 – Acelity announced today that it is extending its Prevena™ Therapy portfolio with the addition of a new, shorter Peel & Place™ System. The dressing in the Peel & Place™ - 13 System is identical to the existing system except for its shorter length and is designed for the management of linear incisions up to 13 centimeters in length. The Prevena™ Peel & Place™ - 13 System is now available in the United States and Europe, and expanded availability globally is anticipated in January 2016.
This expansion of the Prevena™ Peel & Place™ product line enables a surgeon to target negative pressure therapy for incisions in anatomically challenging areas of the body. The new 13cm dressing is provided either separately or in combination with the portable Prevena™ 125 Therapy Unit that provides negative pressure therapy in a small, easy to operate device that can transition home with the patient. This system will make Prevena™ Therapy available to a wider range of incisions.
"The smaller profile of the Prevena™ Peel & Place™ -13 System will be instrumental in helping deliver negative pressure therapy for patients whose incisions are located in challenging areas of the body," said Mahmoud B Malas, M.D., Director of Endovascular Surgery, Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center. "Surgeons now have a new option designed specifically for smaller incisions to help them better manage patient outcomes."
"Reducing surgical site complications is critically important to hospitals and health systems around the world," said Ron Silverman, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, Acelity. "This expansion provides surgeons and additional patient populations with the power and clinical benefits of Prevena™ Therapy in the management of closed surgical incisions, as demonstrated by a growing body of evidence."
The Prevena™ Incision Management System is the first powered negative pressure product designed specifically for management of closed surgical incisions that continue to drain following sutured or stapled closure. The Prevena™ System covers and protects the incision from external contamination, while negative pressure removes fluid and infectious material. The Prevena™ System has been evaluated clinically in a number of surgeries at risk of complications, such as sternotomy, cesareans, hysterectomies, orthopedic and vascular groin incisions, all with positive clinical outcomes.*

More than 100 million specialist referrals are requested in the US each year in ambulatory settings, yet only half of these are completed. Among those that are incomplete, there are multiple process errors, including missing information and communication failure. Such breakdowns in the referral process can lead to delays in diagnosis and treatment.
The Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) and the National Patient Safety Foundation (NPSF), which merged in May, have released recommendations for ensuring a closed-loop system in which all relevant patient information is communicated to the correct person through the appropriate channels and in a timely manner.
"Health professionals find current practices highly inefficient, and patients are caught in the middle, sometimes having no idea who's ultimately responsible for the referral or the clinical findings that emerge as a result," says Tejal K. Gandhi, MD, MPH, CPPS, Chief Clinical and Safety Officer, IHI. "Our goal was to come up with something far more reliable."
Closing the Loop: A Guide to Safer Ambulatory Referrals in the EHR Era is the work of a multidisciplinary expert panel convened by IHI/NPSF and supported by a grant from CRICO/Risk Management Foundation of the Harvard Medical Institutions. The guide offers general recommendations as well as recommendations specific to each step in the process and to the various stakeholder groups.
Hardeep Singh, MD, and David Y. Ting, MD, who co-chaired the expert panel, will discuss the work during a webinar on this topic, January 10, 2018, at 3:00 PM Eastern Time. The program is offered without charge, but registration is required. Register online.

Tens of thousands of hard-working families will be forced to leave their council homes and find themselves unable to afford a local alternative as a result of government plans to restrict social housing to the poorest, according to research obtained by the Observer.
The devastating figures – in a report commissioned by the Local Government Association – show that almost 60,000 households in England will be unable to afford to remain in their council properties from April next year, as a result of George Osborne's reform, called "pay to stay".
Under the policy, announced in last year's budget, families or individuals earning more than £40,000 a year in London, and more than £30,000 elsewhere, will be told to pay the local market rate in the private sector, rather than the far lower social rent. The move is part of Tory plans to end what ministers say are effectively subsidies for better-off council tenants.
However, the report for the LGA by Savills estate agents finds that far higher rents in the private sector, and soaring house prices in many parts of the south, mean that many council tenants who just exceed the income cut-offs will be left in a desperate position.
The report finds that 214,000 households across England will be hit by the policy and that in London most of the 27,000 households affected will be unable to afford to rent privately or buy in the same area.
Before scrutiny of the housing bill in the House of Lords this week, a row over pay to stay was brewing as the Tory-controlled LGA attacked the policy as unfair on hard-working families and a disincentive to work, while Labour and crossbench peers savaged it as ill-thought-out and unfair.
The crossbench peer Bob Kerslake, former head of the civil service and until last year the most senior mandarin working on housing policy, called on ministers to put the plan on hold so that pilot schemes can be carried out.
Kerslake said that he would table amendments to place the scheme at the discretion of local authorities and "provide adequate protection for tenants on the amount of rent they have to pay compared to their income".
Kerslake told the Observer: "When this was originally discussed in the coalition government, it was intended to deal with the very small number of high earners on over £60,000. The current proposals will affect a lot more households with earnings of half that.
"Pay to stay needs to be seen alongside the forced sale of council housing to fund right to buy for housing associations, the ending of permanent tenancies and the almost total end of funding for new social housing after 2018. Together, they threaten the future of social housing as we have known it."
The LGA said the research showed that around 50% of those tenants who would be find themselves classed as high earners in the south-east, east of England and London would not be able to afford to pay market rents or take up a right to buy offer and would need to move out of the area.
Peter Box, housing spokesman at the LGA, said: "A couple with three children earning £15,000 each a year cannot be defined as high income. Pay to stay needs to be voluntary for councils, as it will be for housing associations.
"This flexibility is essential to allow us to protect social housing tenants and avoid the unintended consequence of hard-working families being penalised, people being disincentivised to work and earn more and key workers, such as nurses, teachers or social workers, having to move out of their local area."
Work by the Resolution Foundation found that a household with two earners in Oxford which took on one hour more of paid work a week, tipping joint earnings over £30,000, would see the rent increase by more than £4,000 a year.
Laura Gardiner, senior economic analyst at the foundation, said: "Enforcing near-market rents for council tenants earning over £30,000 risks creating strong disincentives to earn more. Families on the cusp of the £30,000 cliff edge could find that securing a pay rise or working a few extra hours leaves them thousands of pounds worse off as a result of far higher housing costs.
"Introducing a taper could mitigate the worst effects but it is questionable how it could be administered."
A Department for Communities and Local Government spokesman said: "It's not fair that hard-working people are subsidising the lifestyles of those on higher than average incomes, to the tune of £3,500 per year.
"We have been clear that our intention is that social rents would increase gradually as tenants' incomes rise above this threshold. Pay to stay better reflects tenants' ability to pay, while those who genuinely need support will continue to receive it."

Forty-nine comments
This is one of those tunes that sound equally good if played as a slow, gentle jig or as a rollicking, fast session tune.
Out on the Ocean - key of…..?
Got a Boys of the Lough album which opens with a jig called "Out on the Ocean". It's in A major and I've found some scores in the very same key.
But I also did find some versions in the G major key. Both can be played on my instrument (flute) but I do wonder why it appears in different key's.
Does it have to do with instruments, regions, or is it merely coincidental?
Re: Out on the Ocean - key of…..?
I believe it's usually played in G (goes to E minor for the turn) at the sessions I attend. Whatever works for you is the best key, yes?
Re: Out on the Ocean - key of…..?
It is often played in either key, it all depends on the feel ie what key the tune played before or after it is in. It happens a lot with other tunes too eg. Boys of Ballisodare can be played in F or G The Foxhunters reel can be played in G or A.
Re: Out on the Ocean - key of…..?
One of our favourite jigs which is liked to be played in G for 2 or 3 times and then switches to A (or D) . It gives a very interesting note.
So the tune makes a good set by its own. See CD of Paddy Keenan: na keen affair
Re: Out on the Ocean - key of…..?
In Chicago it is usually played in G but fiddlers and banjos like it in A.
As far as it being "coincidental", I'd say it is more "accidental" (that is, 1 sharp or 3 sharps 🙂
Re: Out on the Ocean - key of…..?
I've mostly heard it and prefer it in G. G gives it a more comfortable layed back feel, like waves rolling on the ocean/a boat rolling on the swell…. whereas often tunes in A are slightly more "aggressive"sounding/feeling (for want of a better word to describe it).
Re: Out on the Ocean - key of…..?
Thank you all!
Boy, is this a great site.
Tommy Peoples Plays it in A
On his Iron Man album. Just for reference. Who cares?
Any good tunes to make a set?
One of my favourite jigs, actually sat on a yacht in the middle of the Atlantic ocean last year and played it - seemed kinda appropriate!!
Does anyone know any good tunes to make this into a good set - maybe a reel to follow or a durge to begin, I dunno - just something interesting and a little different would be nice!!
Cheers all.
Out on the Ocean
Our session usually play this last in the set "Geese in the Bog (Key of C) and Connachtman's Rambles" - a nice threesome.
The Islands - the islands.
It is an island.
Hence the name.
Set suggestion
Our ceili band usually plays Out on the Ocean last in a set with Connaughts Man's Rambles and Lilting Banshee

also - another 2nd ending for the A-part, eight bar, and the B-part first ending would mirror this:

Another Set
Deby plays this on her album with Jacky Tar and the Full-Rigged ship, and that's how our session plays it
Somebody did a really slow version of this - I seem to remember a guitar accompaniment with maybe a bass guitar in the background. It's disappeared from the brain cells though and no amount of searching through the CD collection turns it up - any clues what I'm on about?
Alternative arrangement
Ian Carr (with the Kathryn Tickell Band) did a version of this where he plays the tune on harmonics the first time through and then normally for a couple of times. It's played fairly slowly and has a bass in the background. He plays it in Gmaj.

Very nice Kieran, skillfully done. A good addition to tunes in Amaj for keyless flute, and one to add to my short list. Thanks!
A Major
After first hearing this tune done by Planxty on After The Break, I must say it sounds beautiful in A Major. Though it looks like if one were compelled, they could pick up an E whistle and use the "g major" fingering to bring it back in A major… However I always like knowing the same tune in different keys on one whistle if possible, simply just fun, so I'll use the D.
OOps sorry, I should have said The Woman I Loved So Well…!!
"Out On The Ocean"
Seeing the mistakes of the earlier submission, here it is again with corrections and some other possibilities. Like with any tune, it could be rolled to death, like taking a steam roller over a bunny, but I wouldn't recommend that, as there'd be nothing left to barbecue afterwards…

I am learning Octave Mandolin and find this tune awesome when played on it in G as a slow jig…. I play Sporting Pitchfork (D) before it. Makes for a nice laid back pair.
BTW, I also pair Out On The Ocean to follow the song Farewell To Tarwathie (sung in D, tune in G - makes a nice transition and appropriate finish) - all on Oct Mando.

Chords for those that like to accompany - see X6
I just added a version of the tune that is much the same as X1 but I have added chords for accompaniment. For those not familiar with ABC nototion the chords are in double quotes and precede the note where the chord should be struck.

Apologies. My previous comment should have referred to tune version X7 not X6.
Out on the ocean - key?
I've played it in G, I've played it in A, and I have the preference for A, where the key seems to lift the tune more, especially if it's the second tune in a set after the first tune in G etc.. A great example of this is a live session set of Tom Ward's (G)/Out on the ocean (A) on the Ceol Tigh Neachtain CD on Gael-Linn record label. For me, this just goes up into the stratosphere!
about the tune
who wrote this tune? any story behind it, aside being out on the sea?
Setting #9
This setting comes from this clip of Francie Mooney http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoK4TtH2dUE , posted in discussions by IamFrench and identified by ceolachan as a version of Out On The Ocean. It's probably the most different setting here, and sounds almost like an intermediate stage between the common version of Out On The Ocean and its probable ancestor, the Scottish march The Rock And The Wee Pickle Tow, also related to O'Sullivan's March https://thesession.org/tunes/2204.
I cannot vouch for the accuracy of the transcription, as there is talking going on over the music in the video. I have written out the A part in full (i.e. without repeat marks), to include a small variation on the repeat.
Tommy Peoples' recording of Out on The Ocean on 'The Iron Man' https://thesession.org/recordings/596 , although much closer to the standard version overall, contains some echoes of Francie Mooney's setting in the variations.
@Anna Rachel McDonald
I doubt this tune has a known composer - it's part of a very old family of tunes, in my opinion. You might be interested to read the comments on O'Sullivan's March (see above).

I can't believe I've let it slide that long… 😏 We've known this one in several guises from numerous sources, including Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, and elsewhere in Canada and North America; Northumberland, Scotland, the Shetlands ~ and, heading South, Australia & New Zealand ~ and Playford too… 😀

Boys Of The Lough - from Jean Carignan
Going back to Bart's comment 10 years ago - that unusual A major setting that the BOL played, they learnt from the Canadian fiddler Jean Carignan. It's different enough to be a REAL variant, not just an alternative phrasing here and there.
The Boys of the Lough - my haven't they changed, at the start of the 70s they had Dick Gaughan and a bodhranist/ singer Robin Morton, no Richardson brothers. Now you wouldn't know the line-up at all, only Cathal remains from the run-on side. No disrespect to the new members of course.
Same with Battlefield Band. Even Alan Reid's gone. Like grandfather's axe, eh ?
Nigel Kennedy - Recital
Out In The Ocean is one of the tracks on Nigel Kennedy's album, Recital. I have been learning fiddle since November and it is my favourite out the tunes that I have tried so far.

The G major and A major setting closer to Paddy Keenan's version.
Out On The Ocean
Version of this tune by 'The Flying Toads' live at Bath Folk Festival here:
"Out on the Ocean" which one emulates best to Matt Molloy's setting
From these fourteen arrangements of "Out on the Ocean" which one emulates best to Matt Molloy's setting on Heathery Breeze CD? Realizing he is playing a Bb flute, I think, so the key is probably different.
Can anyone help
A tin whistle version here
Re: Out On The Ocean
Wow, the 2nd part (at least setting #1) is very similiar to setting #1 of The Cowboy Jig. Can't play them both as I keep confusing and mixing-matching them and don't get either one right!
X: 15 & 16 "Out On The Ocean" ~ A & G
"Call the Set III"
Re: Out On The Ocean
a very nice version at slower tempo

Nadia King, Miss Doncaster International, was recently interviewed by Radio Humberside!
Nadia had a great day with the presenters and loved talking all things pageants!
Here's what Nadia had to say about her day:
'I was invited into Radio Humberside on Saturday 6th June to talk about pageants, and how I made it into the final of Miss International / Miss Intercontinental UK. I had a really brilliant time, I was on the radio for 20 minutes at 9.40 until 10am, it was such an amazing experience. The team were just brilliant, it was quite nerve racking but I had my mum by my side supporting me all the way. I even got the opportunity to take a look around the BBC studios, I was thrilled.'
What a fun appearance, we're so glad you enjoyed yourself, Nadia!

English Rugby
Former England international Ripley dies
June 17, 2010

Former England international Andy Ripley has died aged 62 following a long battle with prostate cancer.
Ripley won 24 caps between 1972 and 1976, scoring two tries, and was selected for the triumphant 1974 Lions tour to South Africa. He did not begin playing rugby until he was 19-years-old and continued until he was 41, spending his whole career at Rosslyn Park.
The hard-running No.8 was a brilliant all-round athlete, competing in the 400m at the UK athletics Championship, and was world veteran indoor rowing champion. A chartered accountant, Ripley was a colourful and popular figure who received an OBE in the 2010 Birthday Honours List.
Initially diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2005, he appeared to have made a recovery by 2007 only for disease to return the following year. During the past five years he worked as an ambassador for the Prostate Cancer Charity who confirmed that Ripley had died.
Figures from inside and outside rugby were quick to pay tribute with John Owen, President of the Rugby Football Union (RFU), commenting, "It was with profound sadness that I heard of the death of Andy Ripley, who finally succumbed to the dreadful disease which had caught hold of him.
"In sport there are players who grace their sport on the field of play and those rare few who also transcend their sport off the field. In English and world rugby Andy was definitely in the latter category. On the field he was immense, an outstanding athlete who reached the highest levels of the game. Off the field he was even more impressive with what he gave of himself for others.
"To be in Andy's presence was to feel truly blessed. His unwavering appetite for life, unceasing enthusiasm for everything and everybody around him and his positive attitude never failed to leave you feeling better about the world around you. His passing will leave a huge hole in our lives and our thoughts are with his family at this sad time."
John Neate, chief executive of the Prostate Cancer Charity, added, "Andy Ripley was an incredible man. He had a huge heart and his generosity and kindness knew no bounds. His work as a Prostate Cancer Charity ambassador was immeasurable. Andy's personality and humour touched the hearts of everyone he met, who heard him speak and who read his words. He will never be forgotten and his unstinting support for this charity has undoubtedly saved the lives of men across the UK."
RPA chief executive Damien Hopley said, "Andy was a colossus, both as an athlete and a human being. His achievements for England and his beloved Rosslyn Park marked him out as one of the most skilful, dynamic and inspirational rugby players of his generation.
"Following his diagnosis with prostate cancer, Andy's work raising awareness of the disease amongst men continued to highlight his positive approach to life, and his wisdom, warmth, humour and sprit. We send our deepest condolences to his family. Andy Ripley was, and will remain, one of a kind."
England will wear black armbands in tribute to Ripley prior to Saturday's Test match against Australia in Sydney.

Euro rallies after EU summit on Greece delivers comprehensive package
25/Jul/2011 • Currency Updates•
Markets spent last week once again focused on the European sovereign crisis. Peripheral spreads blew out to all-time highs on Monday, but peripheral sovereign bonds quickly recovered, and their rally gained steam as details of a bolder than expected package for Greece, Portugal and Ireland trickled out starting Wednesday. Risk assets also rallied in sympathy, and treasuries and bunds sold off. In FX markets, the dollar traded weaker as the flight-to-safety bid faded and Congress failed to reach a deal with the President on the debt ceiling issue.
Markets focused on the release of the MPC minutes from the last meeting. Again, the vote to keep both rates and the size of the balance sheet unchanged was 7-2, and Adam Posen was still the sole member to vote for additional asset purchases. The tone of the minutes was unequivocally pessimistic, and members worried both about the soft data and about the possible spill over of the European debt crisis into the UK. All this was overshadowed by the news out of the EU summit, however, and sterling spent the week as a low-beta version of the common currency. GBP rose about 1% against the dollar and lost about half that amount against the euro.
The critical EU summit held mid-week was considerably more productive than markets had expected. A detailed description was given of the second Greek bailout and private sector involvement (PSI), the latest euphemism for creditor haircuts. Critically, the emphasis shifted from punitive austerity to economic growth and debt sustainability. In addition to debt relief, interest rates will be lowered for all three countries receiving aid. We consider this change in tone to be quite critical, and the market agrees so far with our assessment. The euro rallied strongly against both the dollar and sterling, and peripheral spreads ended the week down very significantly. On the negative side, Eurozone PMI sentiment indices dropped considerably more than expected in June. It remains to be seen how much macroeconomic damage the delays in reaching workable solutions have wreaked on the European economy.
Market relief over the European summit, together with the lack of agreement on lifting the US debt ceiling weighed heavily on the USD last week. Macroeconomic news out last week was mostly second tier, and did not change the basic feel of a sputtering recovery. For now, however, it seems that the dollar is content to be a negative proxy for risk appetite, and as equities and commodities both rose strongly, the greenback ended the week down over 1% in trade-weighted terms.

A young Dutch programmer, Ivo Schaap, has discovered that the Google +1 button for on websites which supposedly was going to be launched somewhere later this year is already available.
He started looking around in code and came up with a couple of pieces of code which make the buttons.
"I looked around the code, and looked some more, untill I found the button endpoint hiding from me, obfuscated, in a stray piece of javascript."
He also found that the "buttons also reveal the total number of +1's by changing the request URL. For example Google.com has 982 +1s, Techcrunch.com 241, Reddit.com 125. Whether this is a total count from my friend-circle only I'm not sure, but it should since that would make more sense."
It's a good find from this guy and a little bit embarrassing for Google maybe, but at least we can play around with some stuff now 😉
UPDATE: Kudos for Google the loop is already closed, really quickly reacted.

Queen Latifah chatted with host Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live this past Thursday and revealed that a reboot of the 90s hit Fox sitcom is currently in the works! A fan called into the show asking about the success of the show, hoping to see a comeback and Latifah quipped through a wry smile, "Funny you should ask — we're actually working on it. It's not there yet, but hopefully we can get it happening." Andy asked if she suspects if it would be Netflix deal or something similar and Latifah confirmed that they're "still figuring all of that out." Should it go through, Latifah could be producing a much-anticipated reunion with the original co-stars Kim Coles, Erika Alexander, T.C. Carson, John Henton, Mel Jackson and Kim Fields! Premiering in 1993, Living Single followed six besties in Brooklyn exploring life and relationships and was one of the most popular Black sitcoms in history. Given the recent resurgence of a Black renaissance in television content, this series will be right on time! Comments comments
