New enterprise software helps hospitals proactively manage financial outliers and high-impact patients and meet The Joint Commission's new patient-flow requirements
PLANO, Texas – Feb. 4, 2013 – MEDHOST, provider of leading healthcare throughput and emergency department software, today announced general availability of PatientFlow HD, its powerful enterprise-wide patient throughput solution. PatientFlow HD is Web-based, easy to use and provides hospital executives with real-time, mission-critical facility, clinical and patient-centric data so they can identify process management and patient-flow issues before they become problems. Providers can also leverage PatientFlow HD to comply with new patient-flow requirements issued December 2012 by The Joint Commission.
"MEDHOST developed PatientFlow HD to break down widespread information silos, a major contributor to patient-flow bottlenecks, and give executives a clearer picture so they can make real-time, data-driven management and patient-flow decisions," said Craig Herrod, president of MEDHOST. "MEDHOST is best known for helping hundreds of EDs improve operations and patient flow, often turning this busy department into the most efficient and profitable area of the hospital. With PatientFlow HD, we're bringing our expertise to the rest of the hospital to eliminate systemic issues that can cripple operating and financial performance."
PatientFlow HD's graphically driven and highly intuitive user interface makes current information, such as 30-day readmissions, patients exceeding their reimbursed length of stay, observation status patients, and patients occupying higher acuity beds than necessary, available to hospital leaders at all times, so they aren't making decisions with old data. The easy-to-use system also offers visibility at the unit and bedside levels, and with onscreen and push notifications, everyone involved in patient care stays informed, which creates a culture of accountability and helps improve patient care and safety, the objective of The Joint Commission's patient-flow requirements.
The new system has already generated meaningful business, financial, patient care and workflow improvements across the enterprise in beta trials with providers including Hugh Chatham Memorial Hospital in North Carolina.
"Before PatientFlow HD, healthcare executives lacked the ability to proactively detect and manage financial outliers and high-impact patients, so any data collected and reviewed was retrospective. That isn't practical, especially considering the importance of immediately solving patient-flow challenges," said Don Trippel, CFO of Hugh Chatham Memorial Hospital. "The benefits of PatientFlow HD became evident very quickly. It created transparency at our hospital never before thought possible, and we're now able to easily manage day-to-day operations and the wide assortment of factors and influences that affect patient flow and the hospital's bottom line."
PatientFlow HD features include:
- · At-a-glance, real-time, visual representation of hospital capacity and financial/operational outliers to better manage and streamline admissions and discharges
- · Quick identification of high-impact patients (core measures, observation status, 30-day readmissions, etc.)
- · Color-coded key performance indicators, including patients approaching or over length-of-stay thresholds, so hospital leaders, case managers and unit supervisors can more effectively coordinate care
- · A simple way to view all on-duty staff, isolation patients, outpatient and inpatient procedures, and more
- · A user-friendly administration utility for customization to meet your needs
MEDHOST will demonstrate PatientFlow HD at the annual HIMSS tradeshow March 4-6 in booth #7013 along with its beta-site Customer, Hugh Chatham Memorial Hospital, which is based in Elkin, N.C. To schedule a demo, please email MEDHOST at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Jan Perry for Mayor Campaign has raised $1,162,908. The June 30th campaign filing will show that Jan Perry, has raised over $327,000 since January 1st with more than $175,000 in public matching funds. The over $1.1 million raised to date represents 1500 donors with nearly 2000 individual donations. This large number of individual donors shows the power of grassroots activism in Los Angeles and the power of Jan Perry's vision to revitalize Los Angeles. Thousands have rallied to support Councilwoman Jan Perry, who would be the first African American woman elected Mayor of Los Angeles.
"I am truly humbled by the outpouring of local support for my campaign for Mayor of Los Angeles. I know my supporters believe in our vision for a prosperous Los Angeles, where entrepreneurs and small businesses drive job creation, we provide affordable housing near public transit systems that link our working families to job centers, and offer a public education system that truly prepares our children for the jobs of tomorrow. I will not stop until we reach our goals," said Perry.
Councilwoman Jan Perry is the only woman currently serving on the 15 member city council and is the first African American woman to have held the position of President Pro Tempore. She has championed private investment and job creation in Los Angeles.
During her tenure on the city council, Jan has helped deliver over $15 billion in private investment resulting in the creation of over 90,000 jobs. She recently broke ground on the Dunbar Village project to revitalize the historic African American Dunbar Hotel located on Central Ave in South Los Angeles. Central Avenue was the West Coast jazz mecca of the 1940's. In its heyday the Dunbar Hotel hosted such greats as Billie Holliday, Duke Ellington, and Count Basie. The historic landmark project is expected to reopen in February 2013 and will provide affordable housing for families and seniors.
"Jan Perry has demonstrated the most strategic vision for economic development and job creation. She has the most compelling message and best personal story of anyone running for Mayor next year. By raising more than a million dollars, she has once again shown that she will have the resources necessary to run a winning campaign," said Eric Hacopian, Jan Perry's campaign consultant.

Over a career spanning more than 25 years, photographer Joseph Rodriguez has been photographing the "other" America: Latino and African American communities on the margins of mainstream society. Rodriguez, who is of Latino descent, is an unlikely photographer – the camera became a personal salvation much later in his life after having spent time in and out of jail in Rikers Island, New York. He went, in his words, from shooting dope to shooting photos. This background colors his work with a profound sense of urgency: Rodriguez connects with his subjects in a way few photographers can.
This is poignantly clear in his most recent body of work, an extension of East Side Stories and Reentry, his decades long project on Latino gangs and the struggle to readjust in society after incarceration. This spring, with funding from the Dart Society, Rodriguez photographed Jesse De La Cruz, a former gang member turned author and activist in Stockton and Woodlake, Calif.
The similarities between subject and photographer are striking: while Rodriguez found salvation through a camera, De La Cruz found salvation through writing. He is the author of Detoured: My Journey From Darkness to Light, a memoir chronicling a life of poverty, crime, drugs, imprisonment, and ultimately, redemption.
Rodriguez and De La Cruz both say gang life fills a gaping hole for young men in need of male role models, respect, authority and love: things that are painfully absent from home and the classroom but are abundant on the street. The lack of resources for ex-offenders to ease into the transition, in addition to an overwhelming sense of isolation and alienation from mainstream society, further exacerbates the cycle of imprisonment.
Like Rodriguez, De La Cruz seeks to break this cycle of violence and poverty that has institutionalized an entire generation of young men by sharing his story with others. Speaking to young men in juvenile hall on the visceral realities of incarceration, he challenges them to question their glorification of gang life. And he seeks to replicate, in Stockton, an anti-gang program created in Chicago called the Interrupters, which stops crime at the source by deploying former gang members to intervene in the lives of at risk youth. "In our world these kids have a lot of respect for us because of what we went through and how hard it is to change," says Rodriguez.
Both photographer and subject seek to interrogate the role of men in Latino culture. For both, it was a struggle to find positive men who, in Rodriguez's words, "looked and understood where I was coming from." The fact that they currently play this role is not lost on photographer and subject, and with that comes a responsibility to faithfully own the stories of their community.
"What I'm trying to get at here—the word is masculinity; I'm trying to investigate what that means in terms of our Latino culture. Because it clouds everything," says Rodriguez. "When you grew up you couldn't cry. You couldn't show weakness on the street—they'll eat you up, so you have to be tougher, you have to show them that you can stand or you didn't get respect."
Joseph Rodriguez is a Brooklyn-based documentary photographer. See more of his work here.

I have a great story about A16, the Southern Italian restaurant in San Francisco. A few years ago, I was in Argentina, eating my way through Buenos Aires' chic Palermo Soho neighborhood, when I tucked into an unassuming pizzeria for a wood-fired slice.
As I bit into the thin, blistered dough and bubbly, burrata-flecked Marzano sauce, the chef-owner, who had heard me chatting with my husband and knew we were from San Francisco, stopped by to ask what we thought of his food.
"Oh, it's very good, thank you," I said, covering my mouth between chews.
"Yes," he said, leaning in. "But is it as good as A16?"
The chef, an Italian immigrant, wasn't comparing his food to a competitor in his city or country. He wanted to know if it was as good as a restaurant thousands of miles away — in California.
With a reputation like that, restaurateurs looking to expand could easily just replicate the Marina original down to the silverware. But when A16 co-owners Shelley Lindgren and Victoria Libin signed a lease in the Rockridge neighborhood of Oakland, they understood the mission: to bring something unique and dynamic to the East Bay.
And Oaklandish it is. The new A16, which opened in June, is much larger than the original, with seating for 48 at tables and another 30 at the chef's counter and bar. It has a glass garage door that opens on College Avenue and a liquor license that allows Lindgren's husband, Greg, co-owner of San Francisco's Rye and Rosewood, to craft cocktails using grappa, amaro and other Italian spirits.
The menu? It still features the dreamy, wood-fired pizzas of Naples and the saucy meatballs of Campania, but A16 Rockridge also explores the seafood-rich culture of the eastern side of Autostrada A16, the restaurant's namesake, a highway that runs from Naples in Campania east to Canosa in Puglia.
Executive chef Rocky Maselli is Puglian, and he offers a daily selection of local crudo, including San Francisco anchovy with almond and chervil ($9), Marin miyagi oyster with citrus ($3), and Mendocino sea urchin with dolce Verde olives ($12) in addition to antipasto, pastas and oven-roasted fish and meats.
That imported, tiled oven is the centerpiece of the open kitchen, churning out mouth-watering pizzas, like Montanara Rockridge ($17) with pillowy, lightly-fried dough, smoky tomato sauce, burrata and basil; and Salsiccia + Vongole ($20), a pie cradling shelled clams, lemon zest, parsley and sausage.
I recommend the tennis-racket shaped Rachetta ($20) with tomato sauce, prosciutto, basil, fior di latte and piopinni mushrooms with ricotta and pecorino riserva baked into the "handle." You cut it with a pair of stainless-steel scissors.
Entrees are generous, as they should be for the prices. On our visit, we spied whole roasted trout ($34) decked out with Romano beans, cherry tomato and caper aioli, and a pork chop ($30) dressed with watermelon rind agrodolce, red onion and parsley. I really loved the rabbit meatballs ($26), herb-flecked and served around roasted romanesco-drizzled Jimmy Nardello peppers and a chunk of roasted fennel, as well as the grilled lamb chop and skewered sausage ($30) on a bed of shelling bean ragu with dry-farmed tomato gratinata. Hearty indeed.
On top of that, each entree comes with a contorno, or side dish ($6-$7 when ordered solo), which on our visit were the following choices — mixed chicories, roasted summer squash, and fava secca with gold chard. We found the texture of the fava beans a bit dry and powdery (perhaps they were overcooked) but liked the tangy preserved lemon.
That lemon was a key flavor profile in Maselli's rustic cuisine, giving zest and a pucker to several dishes, including the primo (pastas). We enjoyed a small order of the cavatelli ($12; large, $20) with chanterelle mushroom, cherry tomato, pancetta and ricotta salata, but decided against the paccheri ($12/$20) when our waitress educated us about how the tubular pasta cooks up extra al dente. We appreciated knowing that in advance.
The service at A16 Rockridge was excellent on our bustling Saturday night visit. Our server knew Campanian cuisine as if she grew up on it, and she could successfully pair any dish with one of Shelley Lindgren's indigenous Italian wines. She was breezy and confident and nailed it each time.
The only recommendation I didn't like was the black pepper gelato that came with our cherry tomato upside down cake ($9). It tickled my throat and made me cough. At this time of year, basil or lemon gelato would've made more sense. But that moist cake, with its shelf of caramelized, sweet tomatoes, tasted like summer as it's slowly slipping away.

Chelsea vs Ajax Live Stream Soccer Football 2019: How To Watch UEFA Champions League Live Stream Online, Live Update, Odds, Start Time, Game Time, Preview, Team News and TV Info
Watch UEFA Champions League Online Streaming
You can watch all kind of TV Channel of all sports and entertainment Channel. You and enjoy 4500+ TV channel of the whole world using this Website. So why you are late, Enjoy and Have a lot of fun of Soccer game.
Welcome to watch your favorite Soccer game UEFA Champions League Live. Today's match is very important for both teams. Both teams captain and all player are ready to go with a big win. All of the players are both teams very hopeful in this match. The audience thinks today's match will be the best match ever. Though this is preseason match even then this match will be so much enjoyable.SO, Please don't miss this match between UEFA Champions League.
Football is here. Allow that to sink in for a moment. I repeat… football is here. The 49ers will run out onto the Arrowhead Stadium turf tonight in the preseason opener against Chiefs.
Welcome to Patrick Mahomes day … err, the Chiefs 2017 preseason opener against the San Francisco 49ers. The Chiefs have been up at training camp in St. Joe for the past few weeks getting ready for the season. This is the next step in their preparation as they get real, live game action. It doesn't count, of course. But it's something.
We have all the nuts and bolts for the game below, along with a few pregame notes on, who else, Patrick Mahomes, as well as the starters playing time and injuries that will affect the game. You can access the Chiefs roster and depth chart right here. They won't follow that depth chart exactly but it will be close. Andy Reid says he's going to try and get every player in the game tonight.
Alex Smith will start the game but Andy Reid says he's only playing a quarter or so. The 49ers say their starters won't play more than a quarter either. Tyler Bray will get the second quarter and Mahomes will get the third quarter followed by Joel Stave in the fourth.
I get excited for the first preseason game and then quickly disappointed once the first team is out. It'll be a little different this year as we await Mahomes in the third quarter. He will be playing with second and third stringers but he can still show off what he can do.
Because of injuries, the Chiefs are also going to feature some other players we don't always see a lot. Eric Berry has been out with a heel injury so if he doesn't play we could see Eric Murray playing more safety. With Travis Kelce likely out, the Chiefs will feature Demetrius Harris, Gavin Escobar and Ross Travis a little more at tight end. If Bennie Logan doesn't play (which would suck), we would see more new signing Roy Miller. So, even though it's preseason, there are still some new-ish things to be looking for.
THE NEW COACHES: Yes, Shanahan has been an offensive coordinator for several franchises, but this is the 37-year-old's first chance to call the shots. It's also the first opportunity for his coaching staff to work together in a game-like setting.
QUARTERBACK COMPETITION: Brian Hoyer will start for San Francisco and Alex Smith will start for Kansas City, and neither veteran is getting much pressure at this point. But that doesn't mean there isn't a lot of competition for the guys barking at their heels.
Matt Barkley will be the first off the bench for San Francisco, but Shanahan said "we'll see how that goes in the second game." In other words, there's a good chance that rookie C.J. Beathard — who has looked good throughout training camp — will be first on deck with a good performance in Kansas City.
Smith will give way to Chiefs veteran Tyler Bray in the second quarter, while first-round draft pick Patrick Mahomes II gets the third quarter. Those two are in a spirited battle for the backup job.
"They've put in a lot of work, Tyler in particular," Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy said, "and he's done a really good job at mentally getting into it. He's had some opportunities in preseason, so I know he's really looking forward to just coming out here and trying to do the best he can."
TASTY REUBEN: The 49ers are salivating at the thought of insider linebacker Reuben Foster playing alongside NaVorro Bowman. But whether that happens Friday night is questionable after the former Alabama standout was hobbled by an ankle injury in practice this week.
"His ankle has been bothering him a little each day," Shanahan said after Wednesday's workout. "It looked like he kind of did the same thing, just kind of got stepped on a little bit."
SPEAKING OF INJURIES: Rookie tight end George Kittle is unlikely to play for San Francisco with a hamstring injury, while offensive lineman Joshua Garrett is out for a month after knee surgery.

Dell Goes Small in Tablets as It Prepares iPad Competition
It's like Groundhog Day for touch-screen PCs.
Yesterday's device of tomorrow (see Bill Gates's 2001 prediction that tablet PCs would outstrip laptops and of course the Apple Newton) is once again hot stuff, thanks to Apple's (AAPL) iPad launch last month.
Now, other PC makers are hoping they can finally create a market for technology that's been languishing for years.
But while Apple's gotten the buzz, and H-P (HPQ) has gotten attention for its Windows-based Slate, which it previewed three weeks before the iPad, Dell (DELL) has taken a different approach.
The Texas PC giant has been showing its Mini 5–a much smaller touch-screen gadget than Apple's or H-P's–since early January. The device looks like a big iPhone and uses Google's (GOOG) Android operating system. Dell says the Mini 5 will go on sale later this year. When that happens, it will end what John Thode, Dell's vice president in charge of mobile devices, describes as a two-year process to figure out what people who've already got a smart phone and a laptop would be willing to buy.

Saying that something is better than the 2009 live-action Dragonball: Evolution movie is not exactly a compliment. There are car accidents I'd prefer to be in before watching that movie again. So when I say this fan-made trailer for a live-action DBZ movie is better than the Hollywood movie, please don't use that as an excuse not to watch it, because it's actually also spectacular.
From the YouTube description:
We are two brothers who run a small video production company in the UK. We've been Producing, Directing, Shooting and editing for our company for over 5 years now and have always talked about doing a Dragonball Z Fan Film. We grew up watching DBZ and it provided many years of entertainment and enjoyment for us as we're sure it did for many of you. We, like every other DBZ fan, were sorely disappointed with Hollywood's attempt and producing a live action DBZ film. So this May we are set to shoot an extended Live action Fan trailer for the Saiyan Saga!
Let me list a few things this fan-made trailer does better than Dragonball: Evolution did:
• Accuracy to the source material
• Lack of cultural imperialism
• Costumes
• Special effects
• Action
• Direction
• Editing
• Acting (hey, these guys aren't Gene Hackman, but have you seen Justin Chatwin in DB:E? Bleaurgh.)
• Sound
• Lighting
• Catering
• Everything else
And I'm going to take a wild guess and say these brothers didn't have to spend $45 million to achieve this level of quality. Advantage: These guys. And everybody else in the world who did not contribute to making Dragonball: Evolution.

Eyewitness - Germans
Tested A-Bomb In
October, 1944
'I Saw Nazis Test A-bomb' - Author Rewrites History
By John Hooper in Rome
The Guardian - UK
A book published in Italy is set to reignite a smouldering controversy over how close the Nazis came to manufacturing a nuclear device in the closing stages of World War II.
The author, Luigi Romersa, 88, is the last known witness to what he and some historians believe was the experimental detonation of a rudimentary weapon on an island in the Baltic in 1944.
Hitler's nuclear program has become a subject of intense dispute in recent months, particularly in Germany. An independent historian, Rainer Karlsch, met a barrage of hostility when he published a study containing evidence that the Nazis had got much further than previously believed.
On October 12, 1944, Romersa, then a 27-year-old war correspondent, was taken to the island of Rugen, where he watched the detonation of what his hosts called a "disintegration bomb".
"They took me to a concrete bunker with an aperture of exceptionally thick glass. There was a slight tremor in the bunker; a sudden, blinding flash, and then a thick cloud of smoke. It took the shape of a column and then that of a big flower.
"The officials there told me we had to remain in the bunker for several hours because of the effects of the bomb. When we eventually left, they made us put on a sort of coat and trousers which seemed to me to be made of asbestos and we went to the scene of the explosion.
"The effects were tragic. The trees around had been turned to carbon. No leaves. Nothing alive. There were some animals - sheep - in the area and they too had been burnt to cinders."
When he wrote of his experiences after the war, "everyone said I was mad". By then, it was universally accepted that Hitler's scientists had been years away from testing a nuclear device.
However, documents published recently by Mr Karlsch and a US scholar, Mark Walker, have punctured this consensus. Russian archives have shown one of the German scientists lodged a patent claim for a plutonium bomb as early as 1941 and, in June, the two historians published an article in Physics World that included what they said was the first diagram of one of the bombs Hitler's scientists were trying to build, a device that exploited both fission and fusion.

Compassion began its ministry in Tanzania in 1999 with the Child Sponsorship Program. In 2008, we added the Child Survival Program.
In just over 11 years, Compassion Tanzania now works with 236 Implementing Church Partners in 12 regions of the country. We have been growing at an average of 30 percent per year and currently serve almost 64,000 children.
Country Director
Joseph Mayala Mitinje joined our ministry as a senior accountant in 1999 and also served as an operations coordinator, human resource specialist, and program implementation manager. He was appointed country director in 2009.
Prior to Compassion, Joseph worked at the Standard Chartered Bank Tanzania as a bank clerk before being promoted to business development manager and account relationship manager.
Joseph holds a bachelor's degree in advanced accounting and auditing from Shivaji University in India; a post-graduate diploma in human resource management and international relations and stock market & exchange control from the Central Institute of Management in India; and a diploma in computer programming from India's Space College.
He also holds a MBA from the Eastern and Southern African Management Institute.
Help Families Affected BY COVID-19
Families in poverty have no safety net in times of crisis. Help provide food, medical care and support during this pandemic.
Joseph is a board member with Haki Kazi Catalyst and previously served as a church elder and chairperson of evangelism and missions for the Arusha, Kilimanjaro and Manyara regions at the African Inland Church.
Implementing Church Partners
Implementing Church Partners are local churches in Tanzania with whom we work to deliver child development programs and frontline ministry in the field.
- Spiritual Climate
Christianity is strong and the gospel is preached throughout the country, but superstitious practices still exist. For example, some believe that albino body parts will bring wealth.
- Unique Challenges
One challenge that Implementing Church Partners face is retaining their child development center workers. The salary and benefits offered are low relative to the market, specifically for health workers. Thus, staff turnover is high.
- Contributions
Implementing Church Partners make financial contributions for Children's Day and provide the classrooms and kitchens.
- Church-to-Church Partnerships
We have one church-to-church partnership between an Implementing Church Partner and a sponsoring church in the United States. The benefit is that the Implementing Church Partner has assurance that the children in their child development center will be sponsored. Also, it is beneficial for the children of both churches to share experiences with one another.
- Partner Development Activities
We develop our Implementing Church Partners through training, facilitation and partnership meetings.
Child Survival Program
- Caregiver Literacy
We offer literacy classes for the Child Survival Program caregivers three times a week using government curriculum.
- Income-Generating Skills
We offer monthly training in income-generating skills to the caregivers in our Child Survial Program.
These skills include agriculture, cooking, small-animal keeping, poultry, embroidery, tailoring, gardening and catering.
- Health Care
The Tanzanian government provides prenatal care free of charge to mothers, and Compassion Tanzania pays for ongoing follow-up consultations for the mothers and children as well as any medications needed.
- Nutritional Support
We provide nutrition education to Child Survival Program caregivers on a regular basis.
- Involvement of Fathers
We hold group seminars during which Child Survival Program fathers are encouraged and challenged to participate in Child Survival Program activities.
- Transitioning Out of the Child Survival Program
We work mainly with the Child Survival Program caregivers to make them aware of how the Child Sponsorship Program works and prepare them for their child's transition.
- Areas of Expansion for the Child Survival Program
We plan to expand into the Mara, Tabora, Iringa and Singida regions of Tanzania because these areas are extremely impoverished.
Child Development Through Sponsorship
Your sponsorship of a child in Tanzania provides a variety of benefits.
The children are busy with school during weekdays, but they have time on Saturdays to attend their respective child development centers.
- Meeting Times:
- 3- to 5-year-olds: 6 hours on Saturday
- 6- to 8-year-olds: 6 hours on Saturday
- 9- to 11-year-olds: 6 hours on Saturday
- 12- to 14-year-olds: 8 hours on Saturday
- 15- to 18-year-olds: 8 hours on Saturday
- 19 +: 4 hours a week
- Nutritional Support
Each child receives a meal on the days they come to the child development center. A typical meal consists of milk tea, eggs, bread, rice, beans, meat and fruit. We also provide supplemental food for children who are malnourished.
Our goal is to provide healthy food for the children and to encourage program attendance.
- Vaccinations
In Tanzania, when a child is born, the government provides vaccinations and monitors adherence.
- Extracurricular Activities or Community Service
At our Compassion-assisted child development centers, we offer arts and crafts, music, sports, games and income-generating activities (such as tailoring) every week. We also offer annual camps and community involvement.
- Vocational Activities
Adolescents participate in entrepreneurship and apprenticeship activities, and they also go camping together. The public schools do not offer these activities so we hope to fill the gap and expose the youth to additional opportunities to have fun and learn important vocational and social skills.
- Parent Involvement
We hold parents' meetings, offer parenting classes and conduct training in entrepreneurship, health and HIV/AIDS prevention twice a year.
Parents also cook for the children weekly.
- Areas of Expansion for the Child Sponsorship Program
We plan to expand into Dar es Salaam and Tanga, which are in the eastern and northeastern regions of Tanzania. These are some of the neediest areas of the country with many children living in poverty.
Complementary Interventions
Compassion's core Child Sponsorship Program, while comprehensive, cannot address all obstacles to a child's healthy development. Thus Compassion's Complementary Interventions program works in harmony with the holistic child development model to provide additional services as needed such as the AIDS Initiative, Bibles for All Children, disaster relief and water projects.
Complementary Interventions in Tanzania are most commonly implemented to provide insecticide-treated, anti-malaria mosquito nets; water systems; infrastructure such as toilets, classrooms and kitchens; income-generating activities for families; and medical treatment for children if regular funds are not sufficient.
Highly Vulnerable Children
The primary needs for Tanzania's highly vulnerable children include food, clothing, shelter, parental care and support, and social integration. To meet these needs, we have foster care, cottages and counseling available.

French Woman Gets $15 Quadrillion Phone Bill
The French woman said that it took several days for the company to fix the mistake.
A French woman "nearly had a heart attack" after she opened her latest phone bill and found that she was being charged the equivalent of 15 quadrillion U.S. dollars, French newspaper Sud Ouest reported.
Solenne San Jose, from the Bordeaux suburb of Pessac, wanted to suspend her phone account because she had recently lost her job as a nanny. When her bill arrived, it showed she owed €11,721,000,000,000,000. According to the French newspaper, this is 5,872 times the GDP of France in 2011.
"There were so many zeros, I couldn't even work out how much it was," San Jose told Sud Ouest.
When she reached out to phone company Bouygues Telecom – owned by Martin Buyogues, billionaire and friend of Nicolas Sarkozy– customer service reps said that there was nothing they could do. One employee even said that "it's calculated automatically," according to Sud Ouest.
San Jose said that it took several days for the company to fix the mistake and make the correction. The woman only owed €117.21 ($152), Sud Ouest reported.

Judge: Manning's actions were 'heedless'
FORT MEADE, Md. — The judge in Pfc. Bradley Manning's court-martial says it was the "heedless nature" of his conduct that made it dangerous to others.
Army Col. Denise Lind's remarks were in a 10-page document released Friday explaining her legal rationale for finding Manning guilty last month on counts including espionage, theft and computer fraud.
She released the findings as the government rested in the sentencing phase of the trial. Closing arguments on sentencing are scheduled for Monday. Lind could sentence Manning as early as Tuesday.
Manning faces up to 90 years in prison for his offenses.
The soldier sent more than 700,000 military and diplomatic documents to anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks while working as an intelligence analyst in Iraq in 2010.

Mossberg's Mailbox
Running Vista on a Mac
There's no other major item most of us own that is as confusing, unpredictable and unreliable as our personal computers. Everybody has questions about them, and we aim to help.
Here are a few questions about computers I've received recently from people like you, and my answers. I have edited and restated the questions a bit, for readability. This week my mailbox contained questions about Macintosh computers' ability to handle Windows Vista, Quicken, and the best iPod to use when exercising.
Will the currently available range of Macintosh computers accommodate Microsoft's new Windows Vista? When will Apple formally offer the successor to Boot Camp, allowing a Mac user to simultaneously run the Mac OS and Vista?
I haven't tested the new Intel-based Macs with pre-release versions of Vista, Microsoft's forthcoming version of Windows. And Apple hasn't made any announcements about Vista compatibility with its Boot Camp program, which allows a current Mac to boot up in Windows instead of in the Mac's own operating system. Officially, Boot Camp only works with Windows XP.
However, a third-party company, Parallels Inc., has announced that its $80 product, Parallels Desktop for Mac, now allows Vista to run on the 2006-model Macs. Unlike Boot Camp, Parallels permits Mac users to run Windows inside a window in their Mac environments, with no restarting needed. More information is at parallels.com, where the software also can be downloaded.
As for the future of Boot Camp, Apple doesn't plan any major new releases of that program, though I can't swear it wouldn't offer a minor tweak. The company is focused on integrating the functionality of Boot Camp into its own 2007 operating system release, called Leopard, which is due out next spring. I assume that, with this functionality built in, Leopard-equipped Macs should be able to run Vista out of the box, provided you buy and install your own copy of Vista. However, Apple hasn't specifically promised that Vista will run on Macs.
Quicken has been unstable on my system and is much more complicated than I need. Is there a program available on the Web that simply allows me to track my income and expenses against a budget?
Yes. Microsoft makes a stripped-down $20 version of its Microsoft Money program, called Money Essentials, that does just what you want, and not much more. It runs only on Windows PCs, and can be purchased and downloaded at microsoft.com/money. We reviewed it and found it worked fine. If you use a Mac, you might consider Moneydance, available at moneydance.com. It's designed to be quick and simple, but I haven't reviewed it. Moneydance runs on Windows and Linux machines, in addition to Macs using OS X.
What model iPod would you recommend that is affordable and can be easily used while I exercise in a cardiac rehab program? I'd like to record and play back several hours' worth of classical music.
The best iPod model for exercising is also the least expensive — the tiny new $79 iPod shuffle, which even has a built-in clip for easy attachment to clothing. It holds one gigabyte of music, which should play for more than a few hours. But the shuffle lacks a screen and many features that other iPods include. If you want these things, you should consider the smallest, least expensive iPod nano, which costs $149, holds twice as much music and is still quite small and light. You can get a lanyard or armband made especially for the nano.
However, as a former heart-surgery patient who benefited immensely from cardiac rehab classes, let me suggest that isolating yourself with an iPod may not be the best way to go through the program. In my experience, the information provided by the professionals and the support from fellow patients was invaluable. To absorb those, I found, you have to be social and involved.

Shoppers swarm to Black Friday sales
Instead of celebrating his 19th birthday with cake and presents, Johnnie Zamora spent more than 12 hours waiting for the doors to open on the early Black Friday event at the Super Target at Interstate 10 and Loop 410.
Once inside, Zamora raced to a pile of discounted PlayStation 3 video game consoles and snagged one before hunting for DVDs on sale during the event. His girlfriend, Alizavette Santana, similarly braved the bargain-hungry crowds elsewhere in the store.
The couple stole the fifth and sixth spots in a sprawling line that reached about 1,000 customers as store clerks welcomed them inside at 9 p.m. Thursday
"We've been doing this for three years now," said Santana, 18. "Black Friday has become our tradition.
"I've got my family with me, so it's not like I'm missing anything," she added, noting that Zamora did enjoy a Pop Tart with candles on it during their long wait.
Across the city, thousands of shoppers formed lines that wound around stores offering deals on popular electronics, toys, apparel and other items.
Several retailers, including Wal-Mart and Sears, hoped to seize a larger share of the Black Friday shopping spree and, like Target, pushed their sales even earlier than prior years.
The earlier hours are an effort by stores to make shopping as convenient as possible for Americans, who they fear won't spend freely during the two-month holiday season in November and December because of economic uncertainty.
Many shoppers are worried about high unemployment and a package of tax increases and spending cuts known as the "fiscal cliff" that will take effect in January unless Congress passes a budget deal by then.
At the same time, Americans have grown more comfortable shopping on websites that offer cheap prices and the convenience of being able to buy something from smartphones, laptops and tablet computers from just about anywhere.
That puts added pressure on brick-and-mortar stores, which can make up to 40 percent of their annual revenue during the holiday shopping season, to give consumers a compelling reason to leave their homes.
That's becoming more difficult: the National Retail Federation, an industry trade group, estimates that overall sales in November and December will rise 4.1 percent this year to $586.1 billion, or about flat with last year's growth.
However, the online part of that is expected to rise 15 percent to $68.4 billion, according to Forrester Research.
As a result, brick-and-mortar retailers have been trying everything they can to lure consumers into stores. Some stores tested the earlier hours last year, but this year more retailers opened their doors late on Thanksgiving or at the very beginning of Black Friday.
In addition to expanding their hours, many also are offering free layaways and shipping, matching the cheaper prices of online rivals and updating their mobile shopping apps with more information.
"Every retailer wants to beat everyone else," said C. Britt Beemer, chairman of America's Research Group, a research firm based in Charleston, S.C. "Shoppers love it."
Well, not all shoppers.
This year, as more retailers announced early Black Friday sales on Thanksgiving Day itself, store clerks and some shoppers launched petitions and planned demonstrations to protest the encroachment of commercialism into the traditional holiday hours.
While no protests were reported at San Antonio Wal-Marts or other stores, national media spotted scattered strikes in at least seven states and even one walkout in Dallas.
Still, Bentonville, Ark.-based Wal-Mart Stores Inc. issued a news release announcing it recorded its best Black Friday sales ever. The company said it processed nearly 10 million register transactions — about 5,000 items per second — during the high-traffic period from 8 p.m. to just before midnight Thursday.
Wal-Mart "heard overwhelmingly positive feedback from our customers," Bill Simon, Wal-Mart's president and CEO, said in a statement. "I'm so proud of what our more than 1.3 million associates have done to prepare and execute our Black Friday plans (and) they served approximately 22 million customers on Thursday."
Stores opening at midnight Thursday got plenty of traffic, too.
The Best Buy at The Rim shopping center opened at midnight, and nearly 2,000 patient shoppers streamed into that store within minutes.
As they passed, Suzy Pulis sat in her ice cream truck nearby, tempting customers with hot cocoa, ice cream and soda.
"Every year I come here and say, 'I need to set up shop here,'" the 37-year-old said. "It's such a good spot, but I am going to park this soon and do my own shopping hopefully.
"All this excitement," Pulis said as she watched the crowds, "it's all about the sales and getting something great for someone."
She could have made some extra money at North Star Mall, where nearly 50 stores opened at midnight and Mexican national Alda Zuniga said she would've enjoyed a hot drink to warm her.
After 3 a.m. Friday, Zuniga carried several shopping bags out of the mall and began stuffing them into four suitcases she bought on sale.
The 49-year-old Matamoros native didn't celebrate Thanksgiving on Thursday, but decided to visit family in San Antonio to make sure she could get new clothes and electronics on sale.
"I brought only one bag of clothes to wear this weekend," she said through a translator. "Anything else I need, I'll buy it at the Black Friday price."
As more people drove into the North Star Mall parking lot to take advantage of sales starting at 6 a.m., others were wearily waking in front of the H-E-B Plus store at Blanco Road and Loop 1604.
Bundled in a blanket, Patricia Carter said she needed a quick nap after beginning her shopping at 8 p.m. Thursday. The 38-year-old joined the line at the H-E-B Plus before 4 a.m. Friday
"I don't know what's on sale yet," Carter said, "but last year, H-E-B had some good deals, and I don't want to miss out this year.
"My husband thinks I'm crazy for losing so much sleep (in order to shop). I bet he'll take that back once he opens his presents on Christmas."

Back in August 2002, DDJ Contributing Editor Mark Nelson explained Star encoding -- a simple transformation algorithm that can be implemented easily with the help of the C++ Standard Library.
Star Encoding
by Mark R. Nelson
Transformation algorithms are an interesting class of data-compression techniques in which you can perform reversible transformations on datasets to increase their susceptibility to other compression techniques. For instance, the Burrows-Wheeler Transform (see my article "Data Compression with the Burrows-Wheeler Transform," DDJ, September 1996) is a completely reversible sorting algorithm that can create long runs of identical characters in the output text. Using a move-to-front algorithm followed by Huffman or arithmetic coding results in compression that outperforms all but the best algorithms. Likewise, in the JPEG compression algorithm, 8x8 blocks of pixels can be run through the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), which transforms the spatial data points to the frequency domain. At that point, lossy compression algorithms can then be effectively applied.
The transformations I describe here generally don't compress data at all; instead, they prep the data before compression is applied. Thus, a key factor in using any transform is understanding what compression technique can effectively be used on the output. With the Burrows-Wheeler Transform (BWT), the best results come from a three-stage compressor. The output of the BWT transform is usually piped through a move-to-front stage, then a run-length encoder stage, and finally an entropy encoder (normally arithmetic or Huffman coding).
Star Encoding
BWT is a sorting algorithm that radically changes the nature of an input file. Star encoding is simpler to understand and can be implemented easily with the help of the C++ Standard Library.
Star encoding works by creating a large dictionary of commonly used words expected in the input files. The dictionary must be prepared in advance and must be known to both the compressor and decompressor. Each word in the dictionary has a star-encoded equivalent, in which as many letters as possible are replaced by the "*" character. For example, a commonly used word such as "the" might be replaced by the string "t**". The star-encoding transform simply replaces every occurrence of the word "the" in the input file with "t**".
Ideally, the most common words have the highest percentage of "*" characters in their encodings. If done properly, this means that the transformed file will have a huge number of "*" characters. This ought to make the transformed file more compressible than the original plain text.
Figure 1(a), for example, is a section of text from Project Gutenberg's version of Romeo and Juliet. Running this text through the star encoder yields Figure 1(b). You can see that the encoded data has exactly the same number of characters, but is dominated by stars. It certainly looks as though it is more compressible. But before you can test the compressibility of the output data, you need to build programs to create the dictionary, star encode a file using a dictionary, and decode the file using an identical dictionary.

*34 *21 *27 *938 *144 *3817 *49 *193 *37 *67
Creating the Dictionary
MakeDictA.cpp (available electronically; www.ddj.com) creates the dictionary. MakeDictA is invoked with a list of filenames as command-line arguments. It scans through each file looking for tokens, adds them to the dictionary if needed, and updates the token's frequency count.
Once the tokens have been counted, the list is sorted by frequency. The program then goes through the list, starting with the most frequent tokens, and assigns them star codes. As a final step, the dictionary is written to standard output.
Tokenizing and Scanning
Unfortunately, the C++ Standard Library doesn't have a stream tokenizer. If my needs were more complicated, I might use the Boost Tokenizer (http://boost.org/libs/tokenizer/index.htm), but in this case, I simply wrote the code shown in Listing One below.
Listing One
string get_token( ifstream &file )
string token;
while ( file )
char c;
file >> c;
if ( isalpha( c ) || c == '\'' )
token += c;
else if ( token.size() )
return token;
return token;
This function is called repeatedly from main(). The map object named frequency is updated as each token is encountered. If the string is not found in frequency, it is inserted with a count of 1. Otherwise, the count is incremented; see Listing Two below.
Listing Two
string token = get_token( infile );
if ( token.size() == 0 )
map< string, int >::const_iterator ii = frequency.find( token );
if ( ii == frequency.end() )
frequency[ token ] = 1;
frequency[ token ]++;
Sorting and Assigning Codes
After all the tokens from all the input files have been scanned, you have a map with an appearance count for every word encountered in the input text. The next step requires that you iterate through all the words, starting at the most frequent and going all the way to the least.
Unfortunately, the frequency map is keyed on the word name, not the frequency. So before code assignment can start, you need to reorder the data. You can do this with just a few lines of code by inserting all the string/integer pairs into a map object called counts. Since this map is keyed on the integer value instead of the string, the values are automatically sorted in the form you want; see Listing Three below.
Listing Three
multimap counts;
for ( map::iterator ii = frequency.begin() ;
ii != frequency.end();
ii++ )
counts.insert( pair( (*ii).second, (*ii).first ) )
With the data sorted correctly, the remaining piece of hard work is to iterate over the counts map and assign a code to each one, as in Listing Four below.
Listing Four
set used_codes;
for ( multimap::reverse_iterator jj = counts.rbegin() ;
jj != counts.rend() ;
jj++ )
string code = create_star_code( (*jj).second, used_codes );
used_codes.insert( code );
codes[ (*jj).second ] = code;
cout << (*jj).second << " " << code << " " << (*jj).first << endl;
A couple of interesting things to note show up in this loop. First, each time a new code is assigned to a token, the code value is stored in a set called used_codes. You have to keep track of the used code values during the assignment process so that no star code is inadvertently used twice.
Second, you can see that the value of each token and its code is being written to standard output. (I write the frequency count as well, although this is technically not needed. It helps me to keep an eye on the process and ensure it is working as desired.)
The Code Assignment Algorithm
In MakeDictA, I perform a star-code assignment in a routine called create_star_code(). This algorithm uses a greedy heuristic to assign codes, attempting to use the highest possible number of "*" characters to each token; see Listing Five below.
Listing Five
for ( int star_count = token.size() ; star_count > 0 ; star_count-- )
vector pattern( token.size(), '*' );
for ( int i = star_count ; i < token.size() ; i++ )
pattern[ i ] = '-';
string test( token );
for ( int j = 0 ; j < token.size() ; j++ )
if ( pattern[ j ] == '*' )
test[ j ] = '*';
set::const_iterator kk = used_codes.find( test );
if ( kk == used_codes.end() )
return test;
} while ( next_permutation( pattern.begin(), pattern.end() ) );
return token;
For a token of length N, the assignment routine first attempts to replace all characters in the token with stars, then all but one, then all but two, and so on. The often overlooked next_permutation function from the C++ Standard Library helps with this.
Executing MakeDictA
To test this program, I went to Project Gutenberg (http://promo.net/pg/) and retrieved the text of eight Shakespeare plays (also available electronically). With allowances for line breaks, the text below shows the command line I used to create the dictionary file:
[c:\star] MakeDictA text\AsYouLikeIt.txt text\Hamlet.txt text\JuliusCaesar.txt text\KingLear.txt text\Macbeth.txt text\RomeoAndJuliet.txt text\TheTamingOfTheShrew.txt text\TheTempest.txt > DictA.txt
The program creates 16,927 codes in fairly short order, producing DictA.txt (available electronically) shown here in a somewhat abridged form:
the *** 4556
and **d 3676
to ** 3218
of *f 2899
you **u 2775
a a 2714
...[skipping 8500 lines]...
vexations ****t**n* 1
vestall **s*a** 1
versall **r**l* 1
verities *** i***s 1
verge v*r** 1
...[skipping 8500 lines]...
'Twentie *T****** 1
'Saue *S*** 1
'Prethee *P****** 1
'Pre *P** 1
'Boue *B***
With this somewhat limited vocabulary, you can see that even words that appear very rarely are replaced with a very high percentage of stars. The most frequent words are replaced completely.
Compressing and Decompressing the Transformed Data
StarEncode.cpp and StarDecode.cpp (both available electronically) transform text files to and from the star-encoded format. Both programs are invoked with the name of the dictionary file on the command line. The programs then transform standard input to standard output. Internally, they simply read the dictionary file into a map object that holds all the encodings. They then read in text, passing special characters through unchanged, and translating tokens whenever possible.
Figure 2 is the encoding program in operation, as it encodes Romeo and Juliet using the dictionary created earlier. The result of this encoding should be a file that is now more compressible than the original.
Figure 2
To test this theory, I compressed both the original and encoded file in WinZip, with the results shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3
The results are encouraging. The compressed file decreases in size by almost 12 percent, with the compression ratio improving from 60 percent to 64 percent-tangible savings with only a small increase in computation.
Variant B
While building the encoder, I started wondering about the structure of my star codes. It seemed kind of arbitrary to insist that every star code have the same number of stars as the word it was encoding. For example, "the" (the most frequent word) was encoded as "***," while "I" (the second most frequent word) was encoded with a single star. Shouldn't the most frequent word get the fewest number of stars?
To test this theory, I created a second dictionary builder using a new heuristic for assigning codes. In this heuristic, a star code is simply a single-star character concatenated with a plain-text code number, with the most frequent token being assigned code 0.
Using this scheme simplified my encoder. The main loop that assigns codes to tokens no longer needed to keep track of used codes and was simple enough to do code assignment inside the loop, instead of in a separate function; see Listing Six.
Listing Six
int star_code = 0;
for ( multimap< int, string >::reverse_iterator jj = counts.rbegin() ;
jj != counts.rend() ;
jj++ )
string token = (*jj).second;
if ( token.size() > 1 )
cout << token
<< " "
<< '*'
<< star_code++
<< " "
<< (*jj).first
<< endl;
Comparing the output from Variant B to that described earlier shows how the two strategies create quite different dictionaries:
the *0 4556
and *1 3676
to *2 3218
of *3 2899
you *4 2775
...[skipping 8500 lines]...
vexations *8480 1
vestall *8481 1
versall *8482 1
verities *8483 1
verge *8484 1
...[skipping 8500 lines]...
'Twentie *16899 1
'Saue *16900 1
'Prethee *16901 1
'Pre *16902 1
'Boue *16903 1
One difference, in this case, is that I don't bother to encode strings of just a single character in length, as their encoded values would always be larger.
To test this variant, I compiled MakeDictB.cpp, created DictB.txt, and ran RomeoandJuliet.txt through StarEncode.cpp; shown earlier in Figure 1(c). While the text is somewhat harder to read, it is more compact. The character set is much more limited here because every word is star encoded using only the star character and the integers.
Comparing A and B
Figure 4 is the listing of a Zip file that contains both encoded texts plus the original.
Figure 4
In this case, the difference between a standard Zip compressor and Variant B runs nearly 15 percent, quite a nice savings. You can see that Variant B comes out ahead, with a delta that seems worth going for.
Recommendations and Caveats
Star encoding is a handy way to squeeze some additional fluff out of your files. Of course, there is a catch. For star encoding to be effective, you have to know in advance what the vocabulary of the source files is going to be. There are many times when this is the case; for example, computer-generated reports, e-mail or newsgroup archives, trace or log files, cached web pages, and the like. Still, I doubt star encoding could be used in a general-purpose compressor. A hypothetical archiver called "StarZip" might attempt to create a good dictionary and tokenizer for various file types, but the task seems difficult.
While the code presented could form the basis for production code, it needs some hardening. For example, the programs presented here can't cope with something as simple as a star character embedded in the plain text. Caveat emptor.
Star encoding was developed by a team at the University of Central Florida working under Professor Amar Mukherjee. The research that led to this work was supported by the National Science Foundation.

Martin van der Straten (1534-1572)
Martin (Maerten) van der Straten (Straeten), was an Anabaptist martyr, born about 1534 at Kortrijk (Courtrai) in Flanders, was burned at the stake at Ghent, Belgium, on 4 December 1572. His wife, Beliken de Jaghere also died as a martyr at Ghent on 17 March 1573. Martin had received baptism on his faith at Middelburg, in the Dutch province of Zeeland. By trade he wasa maker of felt hats. Van Braght's Martyrs Mirror contains six of his letters. Three of them Martin wrote to his wife, who was his fellow prisoner, comforting her and admonishing her with the words of Scripture and the Apocrypha to have patience and endurance in her suffering. The fourth letter was written to Anna Servaes, the fifth to Servaes Jansz. In the sixth he wrote words of admonition and comfort to Adam v. L. and his wife. These letters all contain exhortations and admonitions to keep the faith; personal information in them is scarce. Incidentally the information is given that Martin and Beliken had married three years before; the marriage had been performed in the congregation. In the letters Martin also sent greetings in the name of Adriaen, Hansken, Margriet, Lou, and Dingentgen, all imprisoned with them. The identity of Adriaen, Hansken, Margriet, and Dingentgen is easily established; they were Adriaen Rogiers, Hansken van Oudenaerde, Grietgen van Sluys, and Dingentgen van Hondschoote. Lou could not be identified.

Organic Avenue opens in Roslyn Heights
Tuesday morning at 7 a.m., Long Island gets its own Organic Avenue, at 250 South Service Road in Roslyn. With a dozen locations in Manhattan, Organic Avenue is a leading provider of organic cold-pressed juices, raw-food cleansing programs and natural beauty products as well as classes and events.
Heat is the enemy of nutrients, according to Organic Avenue. So all of its food is produced in a19,000-square-foot kitchen in Long Island City where the temperature is kept between 38 and 42 degrees. Rather than using a conventional juicer, the rapid movement of whose steel blades creates heat, Organic Avenue uses a high-tech hydraulic press.
The nutrition doesn't come cheap. A 14-ounce bottle of Green Love (pear, lemon, kale, Swiss chard, spinach, parsley, collard greens and romaine) is $9.
Organic Avenue is located at Exit 37 of the Long Island Expressway, inside @250, the two-story, multimillion-dollar development whose tenants (among them SoulCycle and Bar Method gyms, Truth Beauty Spa) are all committed to health and wellness.
Store hours are 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday. Organic Avenue is at 250 South Service Rd., Roslyn Heights, 347-244-7920.

NFL legend Jim Brown helps christen Manhasset park
As Jim Brown crossed the turf of the newly renovated Manhasset Valley Park, a boy called out from against the fence, a Cleveland Browns jersey in his hands.
"Man, that's the Cleveland Browns," the legendary NFL Hall of Fame running back told the youngster. "We're talking about Manhasset!"
The gentle chiding highlighted Brown's roots, on full display Saturday during his homecoming, at which he helped christen the park where a field will bear his name.
"This is where it all started," he said, before North Hempstead town officials issued a proclamation declaring the day for Brown, 77, a 1953 graduate of Manhasset High School who also starred in films and other sports, including lacrosse.
The town acquired the park from the county in 2007. Supervisor Jon Kaiman described the roughly $3 million renovation as "years in the making."
The new facilities include two synthetic turf fields: one for baseball, and the other, which is named for Brown, designed for soccer and lacrosse. A concession stand, playground and other additions are planned.
Through the years, Kaiman said, the park was used "less and less." Residents recalled it was mostly for baseball games and said the grass fields were ill-equipped for bad weather.
"After the rain, it would always flood," said Joe Locurto, 51, of Manhasset, there with his 11-year-old son and twin daughters, 9. "You couldn't play here for three or four days after."
Pamela Patillo, who grew up in Manhasset and said her mother was Brown's classmate, brought more than a dozen family and friends to see Brown.
Patillo said Brown's remarks, in which he thanked the adults who championed him growing up (including his mother, single and working as a domestic), "gave me chills . . . I felt like I was hearing a word from my pastor."
The town -- and residents -- seemed to pay little mind to Brown's 3-month prison stint in 2002 for vandalizing his wife's car. He was jailed after refusing to undergo court-ordered counseling and community service.
Of his struggles, Brown said: "We all try to do better."
And Kaiman said: "Everyone has parts of their life that they regret, that they learned from."
He added: "Jim Brown the athlete and Jim Brown today is a man worthy of recognition."

If you needed an additional excuse to go see Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones and Josh Brolin in Men in Black 3 this weekend, how about this one: you'll also see a six-minute preview of The Amazing Spider-Man. Theater-goers who attend Thursday's midnight showings of Men in Black 3D in IMAX will also get a sneak peek of one of the most anticipated movies of the summer. Perhaps the trailers, clips, featurettes, images, posters, viral videos and interviews weren't enough for you; maybe even this four-minute extended trailer hasn't satiated your appetite. If that's the case, go buy your tickets for the midnight showing of MiB3 and get set to enjoy six minutes of Spidey!
Oh yeah, there's also the third installment in the Men in Black franchise to enjoy. Directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, Men in Black 3 also stars Emma Thompson, Jemaine Clement, Alice Eve, and Nicole Scherzinger. Hit the jump for more information on the preview of The Amazing Spider-Man and Men in Black 3.
More details on the sneak peek can be found over at The Amazing Spider-Man's Facebook page. Head on over to find out how you can buy your tickets. Check out the official synopsis of both films below:
Like most teenagers his age, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. In his journey to put the pieces of his past together he uncovers a secret his father held…a secret that will ultimately shape his destiny as Spider-Man. This is the first in a series of movies that tells a different side of the Peter Parker story. On July 3rd, 2012, the untold story begins.
In Men in Black™ 3, Agents J (Will Smith) and K (Tommy Lee Jones) are back… in time. J has seen some inexplicable things in his 15 years with the Men in Black, but nothing, not even aliens, perplexes him as much as his wry, reticent partner. But when K's life and the fate of the planet are put at stake, Agent J will have to travel back in time to put things right. J discovers that there are secrets to the universe that K never told him — secrets that will reveal themselves as he teams up with the young Agent K (Josh Brolin) to save his partner, the agency, and the future of humankind.
