The Hoboken taxpayers' worst fear – not to mention the fears of low-income residents of Hudson County with medical problems – may be coming true.
After the Hoboken City Council voted in 2006 to bond for $52 million to save the city's only hospital, the taxpayers feared the ailing facility might continue to lose money and cause a tax increase nevertheless.
Now, the city released information last week revealing that Hoboken University Medical Center is in much worse shape financially than it was thought to be earlier this year.
Expectations for revenue from the new Emergency Room may have been too optimistic, officials said.
The hospital has addressed some of those issues, but still lost $22 million last year and reduced its net assets by more than one third.
The hospital has had financial difficulties for some time, partly due to the fact that it serves many indigent people. By law, the hospital must provide Charity Care for any underinsured or uninsured people who come into the Emergency Room. The facility is reimbursed by the state for some of those expenses, but not all of them.
Turning it around
Hatiras said he is confident the hospital can rein in budget expenses, even thought HUMC expects further losses this year. He said last week that he has charged his staff with creating a break-even budget in 2010.
In the meantime, Hatiras does not see an immediate need for layoffs. Actually, he said a 5 percent staff reduction executed in January is increasing the costs by running up overtime.
"Rarely, if ever, do layoffs work," he said. "The best way to get to break even is to make sure revenue comes in."
Under new management
Hatiras took over in June as chief executive officer of HUMC and president of Hudson Healthcare, the hospital's management firm.
Hatiras replaced Harvey Holzberg, who had run the hospital since the city purchased it from Bon Secours in 2006, backed by $52 million taxpayer bonds.
Holzberg was widely criticized for collecting an $800,000 salary, considered by many exorbitant for the head of a small community hospital.
Holzberg is still employed as a consultant until Dec. 31, but Hatiras said the hospital can take $1.2 million off the books once Holzberg and DeVito are out of the picture.
Hatiras collects half of the salary that Holzberg did, $400,000. He was formerly the hospital's COO, in charge of more than 600 employees, and has not replaced himself in that position. So he is basically pulling double duty at half the price.
He said he is one of the lowest paid hospital CEOs in the state, if not the lowest paid, and he is proud of it. In fact, he said he asked for it during the CEO search.
'Disappointing' audit
Hatiras said in an interview on Wednesday that the hospital is correcting the poor accounting practices and other recurring issues addressed in the audit.
"The results came as a surprise to me."
According to the audit, the hospital administration failed to address the negative findings of the audit for the past two years. There is no legal requirement to provide a corrective action plan, but the hospital was paying the auditors to find out what was wrong with its operations without doing anything to fix it.
Extra losses
Hospitals in general experienced rough a year in 2008, Haritas noted. In Hoboken, he said the hospital administration overspent their budget by roughly $6 to 7 million to accommodate for unexpected needs, like mandatory upgrades to the sprinkler system and new data servers.
He said hospital volume decreased in the tail end of 2008, and the number of elective care procedures declined.
On top of all that, the state fell short in subsidy for Charity Care, he said.
But payments from private payers caused the biggest discrepancy in the budget.
The issue that led to DeVito's resignation was that the hospital was anticipating this revenue, Haritas said. He said that a 1 or 2 percent variation in what the hospital expected to collect from private payers, like Aetna, multiplied to millions. The hospital administration was not adjusting their expectations – and some observers speculate that miscalculations were made purposefully to hide the dire financial situation.
Some of the miscalculations go back to 2007, Hatiras said, and resulted in "a 2008 that looked much worse than it should have."
Until the hospital starts a search for a new CFO, Director of Finance Vinny Riccitelli will assume the role.
Patients going to hospitals in other counties
Hatiras suspected that a large number of patients in Hudson County are leaving for other hospitals, but not just the specialists in New York City.
Hatiras commissioned a study that showed a total of 17,500 paying patients per year migrate out of Hudson County to hospitals in other New Jersey counties.
HUMC – much like Jersey City medical Center and Christ's Hospital – treats roughly 8,000 paying patients per year, Hatiras said.
"Hudson County is exporting patients to other [counties]," he said. "The business is there; we're just not capturing it."
The hospital is working with the Stevens Institute of Technology to create a two-year strategic plan.
Being more cautious
Hatiras can't say for sure whether the hospital's vaunted new Emergency Department is putting a dent in the hospital deficit until he reviews six-month figures.
"In the past, [hospital management] celebrated victory so quickly," he said. "You have to wait until you have a trend."
Officials did say that the projected 15 percent increase in revenue from the new department "may have been optimistic."
The hospital also has applied – Hatiras stops just short of calling it begging – for $10 million is state stabilization funding.
Long-term, Hatiras wants to see the hospital move away from taxpayer backing and become financially independent.
"We need to strengthen to the point of self-sustaining," he said. "It's a huge economic engine for the city."
Government aid?
Since the city is on the hook for the $52 million bonds, many government officials are concerned with the state of the former St. Mary's.
Acting Mayor Dawn Zimmer said last week in a release, "Given our own fiscal problems, we are not in a financial position to guarantee additional debt or to provide operating subsidies. But within those limitations, I am fully committed to doing everything within my power to help the Hospital Board find a way to navigate through these difficult times."
Councilwoman Beth Mason, who has been a hospital watchdog for some time, called for accountability in her release. "As I have said from the beginning, the simple truth is that the hospital was never the financial miracle that it was portrayed to be, and the resignation of the hospital CFO is like having the captain of the Titanic abandon ship," she said. "It is the responsibility now of the council to demand an emergency meeting with the HUMC to determine what steps can be taken to save the institution, the jobs of the employees, and to protect the $52 million taxpayer investment in the hospital."
Councilwoman Theresa Castellano, who chairs the council's Hospital Subcommittee, reached out to hospital board members to set up a date, but board members seemed to agree at their meeting last week that it may be more beneficial to wait until the hospital budget is introduced in December.
Hoboken mayoral candidate Kim Glatt, a former municipal court judge who is facing Zimmer, Mason, and four other candidates in the Nov. 3 municipal election, released a press release last week informing the public of the hospital situation and blaming Zimmer for not releasing the information earlier.
New board members
The council recently appointed Tajil Desai to the hospital board, and she attended the hospital's board meeting on Wednesday night. Also at the meeting was Dr. Jonathan Metsch, the former head of Jersey City Medical Center, who has been temporarily sitting on the board in place of Zimmer. The mayor has a seat on the board and can send a designee to vote in her stead.
There was some criticism of her choice of Metsch, who left the helm of JCMC two years ago much like DeVito is leaving HUMC. According to reports, Metsch resigned his high-paying position after a potentially damaging audit was submitted to the parent company.
Zimmer said she has looked into Metsch's past and does not have any issue with the way he left JCMC. "He's my designee, so he goes when I can't go," she said. "He cares about saving the hospital."
One source at the hospital said last week that Metsch is a bad fit on the board and called into question what happened at JCMC.
Metsch has been a public supporter of Zimmer as a mayoral candidate since last spring.
Metsch declined to comment on Friday.

Editorial: Charter school funding reform must address pension
There are several reasons why laws regulating charter schools should be examined and addressed by Pennsylvania lawmakers after they failed to accomplish that task this legislative session.
Among the most pressing reason is the need to address excess pension contributions.
As explained in a recent news article by the Pa. Independent, charter schools get excess pension contributions because the current funding formulas provide contributions both through public school allocations and a state reimbursement.
Public school districts fund charters through a by-district tuition rate, which includes calculations for pension contributions. On top of that, charters are eligible for pension contribution reimbursements from the state at the same rate school districts receive.
A special audit released by Auditor General Jack Wagner in June said that eliminating this situation could save $500 per student annually, or around $50 million, Pa. Independent reported.
Larry Jones, president of the Pennsylvania Coalition of Public Charter Schools, told Pa. Independent that charter school advocates acknowledge the funding formula is "not perfect on both sides of things." Charters, for example, don't have the same bond provisions as school districts, he said.
Addressing the pension issue should come with a greater discussion about the funding formula in general, Jones said.
Steve Robinson, director of public relations for the Pennsylvania School Boards Association told Pa. Independent that districts would like to see pension contributions removed from the tuition rate formula.
Doing so could save $500 million by the 2016-2017 school year, he said.
"Any effort to correct funding flaws, any effort to get the tuition payments to be more fair and equitable certainly is going to help districts out, because they won't be overpaying for what they should be for the charter costs," Robinson said. Continued...
The other side of the double contribution — the state's reimbursements for employee benefits to charter schools — is calculated the same way as it is for school districts, said Tim Eller, spokesman for the Department of Education. The contribution applies to a portion of their pension costs for PSERS.
Battles over charter school funding have been going on for at least the last decade. "Every time it blows up," said one legislative observer.
Pressure to reform how the state and school districts fund charter schools will be back when lawmakers take their seats in January. Gov. Tom Corbett is likely to push charter school reform as a priority for 2013, as he did this year.
Corbett also has pension funding reform high on his list of tough jobs to be tackled in the next legislative session.
Here's a place where the two come together. In the current fiscal environment of school districts faced with exploding pension costs, the notion that charter schools are getting a double-dip advantage is unthinkable.
Legislators should address charter school funding reform in the new year for a number of reasons.
Correcting the flaw in pension contributions heads the list.

Pinkwonder: The eucalan wash probably won't lanolize, it'll just clean and sort of touch up the lanolin. I use this method to lanolize my wool:
What do you use under your wool? I have a B4 and honestly, most of it was still dry by morning. That thing was huge and can soak up a lot!
If your baby sleeps on his stomach the wool will still breathe from his bum.
Storing your wool:
Thanks to this site-> http://www.realdiaperassociation.org/real-diaper-news/quarterly_article_sanders_diaper-covers-why-wools-cool.htm
Last Thought: Storing your wool diaper covers for the next baby. With the onslaught of plastic storage containers that can fit anywhere from between your washer and dryer to under the bed or stackables for your closet, you may not think twice regarding storing your wool (or any other textiles) in that manner. However, due to a lack of air circulation within plastic containers or bags, it is not a choice environment. Fabric "needs to breathe and storing it in vinyl airtight containers causes fiber deterioration from chemical interaction and imparts awful odors over time."5 "Any moisture remaining in the container will result in a musty smell at best, and possibly even mold or mildew damage."1 So what do you use? To protect your wool covers from mold, mildew and moth larvae, try storing them in cedar wood, wicker baskets with cedar chips, cotton bags or any other type of container that will allow the textile to breathe.1 For the best protection, choose acid-free products, as well as boxes containing rag content or linen stationery (you can get these from printers - just ask for their empty boxes). Do not store in cardboard shoes boxes as they are produced from less than 'friendly' products. However, cardboard shoeboxes can be lined with acid-free tissue so that fabric will not touch cardboard if it is your only alternative. Another suggestion is to store your wool covers in newspaper. Yep, you read right! Moths do not like newspaper, so simply wrap your wool covers in tissue and then in newspaper and store them in dresser drawers, closets, cabinets or wherever there is space. Remember to store away from direct sunlight, damp basements, hot attics and/or dusty garages
While on the subject of wools "green-ness", though it may seem like a lot of work, it really is simple. It might just be all the information overload on this post that intimidates.
15 minutes once a month and a sinkful of water are all you really need for wool (MUCH less than washing other diaper covers). Unlike PUL or other synthetic materials, wool is sustainable and returns to the earth easily.
From my research, wool diaper covers became popular around the 1940's, perhaps even earlier. Some early Native Americans used wool to line the papoose (baby carrier) and diaper their children with also.
Just like anything else, they go through phases of popularity, but wool is usually in demand.
There is a debate about using wool (treatment of sheep, farming practices, cruelty-free, etc). If you are vegan, then for sure it might not be a choice. There are companies out there that use organic, pesticide/cruelty free wool so it is still an environmental choice in my opinion.
Wool is not for everyone. This thread is meant to be a resource for anyone not aware that wool can be used in cloth diapering
Happy Diapering! (whatever your method) :)
I have a question... I've never used wool before mostly because I was extremely intimidated but this post has me feeling like it should be quite easy! My question is, how would I know measurements for my little guy, when all I use is pockets? I do use prefolds at times, with pul covers but I don't use snappis, so I wouldn't know how to measure him with prefolds on either. And the prefolds I use, wouldn't fit him with snappis anyway because they're too small. I just use them as "inserts" with the covers. Lol Help! Also, where is the best place for me to find affordable wool covers? I just want to try one or two for now, until I am confident they will work and to make sure my guy isn't allergic (he has REALLY sensitive skin).
Most people use wool with fitteds. Why not buy a few fitted diapers, wash them (because they do shrink), and then measure your DS with the fitted on? You need to measure your baby with the largest fitted he has on, as those things are very bulky! Then add 2 inches to the rise so that the fitted has space to wrap around the fitted and fit snug on the waist without any of the diaper showing at the top.
The Disana cover is very generously sized so if you're not sure about sizing I think that one is the most forgiving. But it won't fit under clothing.

While many of you will probably disagree, I find these options very viable for character classes in Diablo III
1. The Vampire: I know many of you would like to think Vampires dont belong in Sanctuary, but they have already be referred to several times...(Vampirebone gloves... Nostertu's coil....etc) I think the Character could work VERY well in Diablo lore, and could provide a somewhat darker version of the Paladin...when I think about the skill set of this character, I think of Konami's Castlevania game "Symphony of the Night" and its protagonist, Alucard....heres a back story
While human beings are the result of Angelic and Demonic hosts, that does not mean they are the only inhabitants of Sanctuary. The Vampires of the eastern coastal swamp lands are a taboo throughout the rest of Sanctuary. The druids of Scosglen (known as Lycans to the Vampire kingdoms) are the only race that has relations to these misunderstood people. For the rest of Sanctuary, the two Vampire Kingdoms are both feared and unknown. The Vlads of the northern plains are a frienly ally of the lycans, and are known for their cunning war tactics with sword, shield, and crossbow. They have also learned the way of the lycan according to legend, with the ability to shapeshift and control powerful familiars to do their bidding. The desolate region of the eastern coast provides little sunlight, and these warriors have grown accustomed to the dark. Their somewhat demonic appearance and somewhat odd feeding behavior have isolated them from all but the bravest adventerers of Sanctuary. (obviously this could be elaborated on, just a start.
Vampires could gain passive bonuses during the night and weaknesses during the day.
Experts at sword and shield like the paladin, but also capable of range variance with the crossbow.
Skill trees.
Darkness (Auras)
(similar to Paladin auras, these will enhance the vampires defensive and offensive capability of the Vampire.) for instance one could be ecclipse, that always grants the Vampire his nighttime powers (whatever they may be.)
Slayer (Combat skills)
these work as the combat skills that the vampire will use to kill his enemies...2/3rds of them will be oriented towards 1h weapons and shields, while the other 3rd will be focuses on the crossbow (possibly throwing knives?)
Familiar (shapeshifting/summon)
different from the druid, vampires will use their shapeshifting abilities for strategic advantage...such as turning into a bat that is undectable by most enemies (to get from one place to another, similar to teleport). Furthermore, it could have additional add on skills (for the bat say, an attacking ability or Sonar, which would reveal some of the map.) Summoning would consist of singular, powerful allies that are unique. (Ghost, Demon, sprite for example)
2. the Yeoman
The Yeoman fits the primary archetype of range character in my own opinion. The Yeoman will have a classic skill tree for the bow, but will also utilize unique playing schemes with different close range and passive abilities.
The Kingdom of Duncraig has always been under constant threat of invasion. It rests between the Khanduras and Westmarch, making its borders a constant theme of dispute and war. Futhermore, its sea ports are trading hub of the western kingdoms, making them enticing targets for the east as well. Fortunately for Duncraig, the king is always in command of a formidable, elite, fighting force. The Yeoman of Duncraig are some of the most unique warriors of Sanctuary. while their prowess with the bow is on par with any kingdom, their hand to hand combat skills make them an even more dangerous enemy. Using lances and knives, Yeoman have been known to send even the strongest warriors retreating in fear, only to be mowed down by a merciless voley of arrows. For centuries, the Yeoman was a right of passage for males, but after the severe Western War, women are now accepted to fill the ranks of their male counterparts.

I have owned this car for three years now and apart from servicing and the very occasional part failure due to the age of the car I cannot complain. I find it quick and nippy for around town, far quicker than other similar cars I have test driven. It is very quick off the mark. I've never had any serious reliability problems, it travels well on the motorway for the engine size and gives fair fuel consumption. I like this car and will be purchasing another one when this finally does give in to old age!
I acquired my VW Polo 1.4 auto in 2005 with 21000mls .... it is now at 38000 mls .... daily running costs are fair , but servicing and others are expensive .... the first service in my ownership required a 4th-5th year timimg belt/tensioner change (a very expensive exercise which was done at VW dealer - as car was under 12 month used car warranty).... Of late the EPC sensor light and Engine light seems to come on/off at their pleasure ... a MAP sensor was changed this week ... but the problem has re-appeared in less than 24 hours ... so its off to the garage again (this problem seems to be quite common and expensive to rectify ; ref - web blogs on various sites i have found on Google) ... So all in all not happy with this apparently reliable mode of German transport !!! ... Its back to Japanese vehicles from here on !!
This car is incredibly cheap to run, with average fuel economy in the 60s even at high motorway speeds. The car hasn't gone wrong (apart from one electric window seizing, and that I fixed myself) in six years/60,000 miles. It looks nice, too, and is easy enough to service yourself.
However, it has dreadful handling and ride. It manages to be both firm and crashy over bumps, yet leans and understeers on the corners. For such an economical car, you'd think VW would have fitted better seats.
You can save a packet on fuel on long journeys by using the car, but it's so uncomfortable you won't want to. The dealers are a joke.
This is an absolute pig of a car, I bought it as I wanted a cheap to run reliable car. It ran well at first, but soon after problems started to develop. Absolutely everything has gone wrong with the car, The car stalls everytime you stop, the electric window got stuck then failed, the ABS light comes on and off, the temp light flashes from time to time, the service warning comes on all the time, the dash lights goes off every now and again the electrics burnt out nearly setting the car on fire. The starter motor sometimes grinds, I can not think of a worse car. I will definately not be buying a VW again. Avoid like the plague.
Order a brochure, find your nearest dealer or book a test drive
I have run this car as a courtesy car for three weeks. Good points are good build quality and solid interior. Seats and driving position are good and…
Ive had this car for one year now and so far has exeeded my expectations. The car is great at overtaking lorries on the motorway and handles very…

I haven't really tried to build any characters other than the homemade ones that my players will be playing. However, Shikamaru from Naruto and Naruto Shippuden would be one I really want to see done. And with this system, I think it can really be done well.
When I think of Shikamaru and his fights, I remember feeling like he was going to lose at any second. It always feels like he is losing, and just staying alive, then BAM!, the opponent is taken out.
I picture his SFX cause dice to go right to the Doom Pool, and then being able to use the Doom Pool later on.
Either that, or just adds to the Doom Pool, and he gets to choose when to spend the 2D12 to end the scene, and gets to narrate the ending as his plan comes to fruition and he won.
Anyone have any better ideas to portray this kind of character.

This is a fascinating volume. It appears that of the hundreds of so-called authoritative books on Shakespeare only one has dealt with the medical aspects of his writings. That book was written by Dr. John Bucknill and published in 1860. The numerous papers and essays on the subject that followed were based more or less on the information contained in his scholarly book. Simpson, in the present work, cites some 450 major medical references from the plays and poems of Shakespeare. This number, however, does not exhaust the list for, if minor references are included, the list contains over 700 medical references. To illustrate the medical aspects of the plays of the great bard, Simpson presents an analysis of "Romeo and Juliet" and (in another chapter) a study of Falstaff. A further interesting discussion of some of the medical problems raised in the tragedies is presented in a separate chapter.

Hawai`i - Honolulu
`Iolani Palace, commissioned by King David Kalakaua, on (where else?) S. King St. It flies no U.S. flag, just the Hawaiian flag that has watched over the State, Territory, Republic, and Kingdom of Hawai`i. On the gates are the coat of arms belonging to that Kingdom and adapted into the state seal. The Hawaiian phrase means, "The life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness."
The first King Kamehameha statue to be erected in Hawai`i, and also a statue of Kamehameha I, giving two reasons to include the little "1" beneath the name. However, this wasn't the first statue commissioned by the state - see the
Big Island
page for that story.
The Hawai`i State Capitol, purporting to be Bauhaus or evoking Hawaiian symbolism but looking like a concrete accident of the 1960's. In front hangs the state seal, dating to the completion of the building and looking like it hasn't been cleaned in that time. Across Beretania Street is an eternal flame for Hawaiian members of the U.S. Armed Forces.
Around the inside of Diamond Head, an ancient crater that has become a microcosm replica of Hawai`i (even with token palm tree). It's linked to the outside world by a very artificially finished tunnel (how well can you spray something on and expect it to look like natural rock?), and inside is a booth to pay if you want to walk around. Or you can do what we did, U-turn and take a few quick panoramic photos.
The tunnel was built to be as short as possible, taking advantage of the shape of the crater. Diamond Head Road forms a circle around the outside and this little road climbs a short hill to get here. Koko Head is visible in the eastern distance, another former crater just east of the edge of Honolulu, which has taken over many villages and towns in its growth. That growth has taken over the bottoms of valleys and the tops of mountain ridges, leaving only the slopes untouched in the most diverse and worldly city in Hawai`i.
Walking west on Waikiki Beach.
Sunset begins from Ala Moana Blvd. (
HI Route 92
) and ends from a 15th-floor hotel room in Waikiki, looking west on the heart of the city.

The Good Behavior collar helps pets reduce their stress and anxiety levels, often the underlying cause of behavior problems. The collars release pheromones, a substance mother cats produce to calm their kittens, over a 30-day period. They help alleviate stress-induced behaviors such as: separation anxiety; and destructive behaviors.

i was going crazy with an aggressive cat. she would attack the others and was making life miserable for all of us. she has no problem wearing this and i love the smell. she is at least 70 % better. with only rare interest in chasing the others. she is however in the last week before shes due for a new one. she is still herself and playful and cuddly but no longer mean. friends have tried it per my recommendation and they love them too. deff worth a try!
Excellent Product!
As a veterinarian who works a lot with behavioral problems, been using this for almost a year with my patients and my own cats, works very well reducing the anxiety levels.
most important it stays with the cat where ever he goes.
Product really works!
I had a cat that ran & hid at any situation or sound that was out of the ordinary.
With the collar, she is less stressed, no longer runs and hides and even comes out when company is over! Her asthma is much better also.
But the vacuum, that's a different story!

My question involves a child custody case from the State of: California
My daughter is almost 9 years old and has only met her bio father once when she was 5 months old. here's a little background.
I initially told the bio that I was pregnant but after getting punched in the stomach by him i left him and hid the pregnancy.
I listed the father as "UNKNOWN" on the birth certificate.
I told him about her when she was 5 months old and he visited her once, and never made another attempt to see her. I talked to him for years after over email and he never once asked about her which i have emails to prove. for years i gave him opportunity to see her but after he made no attempt i cut off all ties and decided i didn't want a off and on kind of father for my daughter.
Now she is 8 1/2 years old, My husband has been in her life since she was 10 months old, we decided to raise her as my husband being her father, while my husband is her father since he raised her, she has no clue that my husband is not her bio father.
I received a phone call recently for a paternity test , I was advised by an attorney that I had to go to this and I did so. I think my ex is going for visitation and i have no idea what rights he has, I don't think he should have any rights since he clearly chose not to be in her life. It would be devastating to my daughter to have to be put through this and it would not be in her best interest. I do have on my side the fact that he doesn't know my address therefor he cannot serve me. what are my options?

The Samsung BD-P1000 Blu-ray Disc player had been out just a couple of days when my phone began ringing with some interesting reports from the field. It didn't take long to realize that this would be no ordinary product launch. Of course, how could it be - as the first Blu-ray Disc player, the BD-P1000 would represent not only its own brand but the entire Blu-ray format, the much-touted competitor to HD DVD. The whole world would be watching, making snap judgments about Blu-ray based on this one model.That's why the events that followed were so remarkable.
What played out over the next three weeks was a high-tech mystery worthy of Hollywood - and, this time, that's not just a figure of speech. This one has it all, folks: corporate intrigue, electronic sleuthing, and a runaway script that even a giant movie studio couldn't quite get its hands around. In the end, Sound & Vision auditioned two BD-P1000s: the model currently in stores and homes that has been written about elsewhere, and a revised unit soon to be released, carrying a small but controversial alteration - a player that we exclusively obtained for this report. So, join us now as we take you step by step through our Great Blu-ray Adventure. But please, buckle up: As format launches go, this was one heck of a wild ride.
PLUGS & MARRIAGE To assess the Samsung's picture, I married it to various 1080p (the highest resolution available) HDTVs, including a pair of HP DLPs at 65 and 58 inches, a new Sony 60-inch SXRD LCoS, and a Westinghouse 42-inch LCD panel. The Samsung puts out a 1080p video signal, theoretically the best choice if your TV can accept that resolution, since both Blu-ray Discs and HD DVDs carry their video as 1080p. However, Samsung confirmed for us that the BD-P1000 converts video from the disc to 1080i before converting it back to 1080p for output. The same conversion is performed whether you use 1080p from the player or output 1080i and let the display convert the signal to 1080p internally.
I carefully compared the 1080p and 1080i output from the unit's HDMI connector and detected no difference - none. Eventually, we settled on 1080i, which, unlike 1080p, was compatible with our Yamaha HDMI switching receiver.
I also compared the component-video output versus the HDMI output, as well as the player's 720p conversion off the 1080p discs. The first result followed our experience with Toshiba's HD DVD player: High-def component video was a touch softer than HDMI, a difference easily attributable to the TVs. Meanwhile, a 720p HDTV signal from the Samsung, as viewed on our 1080p reference sets, had slightly less detail than a 1080i or 1080p signal, but was very close - unlike the Toshiba, the BD-P1000 did a decent downconversion.
Likewise, it proved an excellent upconverter of regular DVDs, which it can reproduce via HDMI in 720p, 1080i or 1080p signal format. These don't look even remotely as good as true high-definition Blu-ray Discs, but on high-quality DVDs the performance compared favorably to the upconverted image from our $3,500 Denon reference player, a real feat.
For sound, you'll ideally want a surround processor or receiver that can recognize the multichannel PCM (pulse-code modulation) signal that comes off the HDMI output along with the digital video signal. The Sony-issued Blu-ray Discs carry an uncompressed linear PCM (LPCM) soundtrack that can be pumped right from the disc into your audio system with no conversion if you have the right gear - it's as close to the original digital master as it gets. We used a Yamaha RX-V2600 receiver as our system's multichannel PCM processor, and, for a little extra kick, fed its three front-channel preamp outputs to a trio of Krell monoblock power amplifiers. These electronics fed a Revel Concerta 5.1 channel speaker system. We were ready to go. But where were we going?

PRINCETON JCT. Its shaping up to be one heck of a final six days of the Mercer County American Legion League season.
The Allentown offense and right-handed pitcher Frank OBrien made things that much more intriguing last night by rolling past West Windsor-Plainsboro, 13-2, at WW-P South High to set up a three-way tie atop the MCALL standings with both Bordentown Post 26 and WW-P.
The opportunity is there, Allentown manager Matt Zagari said. Were tied for first with four games to play. If you would have told me in the beginning of the season that wed be tied for first with four games to go Id probably call you crazy. No way. But we have a couple good college guys, we have the Allentown guys and the New Egypt guys and everyone came together as a team. Its a good thing.
OBrien entered the game having fired 27 consecutive scoreless innings but had not pitched in two weeks due to some shoulder soreness. WW-P scored two runs (only one earned) in the bottom of the first inning but the Le Moyne College (N.Y.) bound OBrien was lights out from there.
He went the distance for his fifth straight complete game, allowing six hits and striking out two in improving to 6-0. He threw 104 pitches 67 for strikes in improving his sizzling streak to 34 innings pitched in allowing a lone earned run.
I have good defense and Im not afraid to let my defense field the ball, OBrien said. Im mixing up my pitches and keeping them off-balance. Ive been able to do that for the whole stretch and again tonight. Maybe not in the first inning but I got through it.
Allentowns offense helped assuage any rust-related issues OBrien may have had coming back from the two-week layoff.
John Fassl ripped an RBI double and Mike Kuczinski and Joe OBrien each had RBI singles, all of which came with two outs, in a three-run second inning.
Brett Miller laced an RBI single back through the middle and scored on an error in the second. Brandon Reutch lined a two-out, two-run single in the fourth and Matt Alpaugh tripled and scored on an error in the fifth.
Allentown dashed any hopes WW-P had of a comeback with a five-run top of the seventh inning. Alpaugh and Joe OBrien had RBI singles in the frame, Kuczinski lofted a sacrifice fly and Fassl smashed a two-run double down the left-field line.
Run support is nice, OBrien said, flashing a smile. I can give up a run and not worry about it or if theres a guy on base its no biggie. Were putting runs on the board and were going to keep putting runs on board.
Miller went 3-for-3 with two runs and an RBI and Joe OBrien went 3-for-4 with two RBIs and a run for Allentown. Reutsch, Alpaugh, Fassl and Kuczinski each had multiple hits.
After going 12-36 (.250) over the last two years (7-17 in 2011, 5-19 in 2010), improbably, Allentown has a legitimate opportunity to win the league in just its third year of MCALL play.
Its an awesome feeling after not even being in the running the last two years, OBrien said. And now were right there. To have the talk of possibly being league champions is fun. But we have to play Lawrence, Hightstown twice and Bordentown. We just have to win out. If we win out theres no doubt.

Ian Parker and his band
Remarkably given his age, Ian Parker performed his first public concerts twenty years ago. At just 15, he began playing in pubs throughout the West Midlands with his first band 'Strange Brew', drawing inspiration from such blues-rock luminaries as Jimi Hendrix, Cream, and Fleetwood Mac. It was through these artists that Ian began a journey of discovery, delving deep into the history of a musical form originating thousands of miles from his native Stourbridge, in the cotton fields of Mississippi.
In the summer of 2003 performing as a solo artist with The Ian Parker Band, Ian signed a deal with Ruf Records following a personal introduction to internationally renowned record producer, David Z (Prince, Jonny Lang). Several albums and two live DVDs followed, alongside numerous appearances on national TV and radio throughout the world, most notably BBC Radio 2 in the UK, TROS Music Cafe in The Netherlands, and Rockpalast - Germany's top live music TV show. Ian has toured extensively throughout the UK, Europe, and the USA in a career which has established him as one of the UK's leading Blues/Roots singer-songwriters and guitarists.
In December 2012, Ian played a special 20th anniversary show at Robin 2 for which he assembled an exciting new band comprising his former Strange Brew band mates, David Jenkins on bass and Chris Finn on drums, along with his long-time collaborator Morg Morgan on keys. The show, which features songs from all periods of Ian's career to date, was warmly received and requests soon came in for more appearances, including a headlining spot at the prestigious Maryport Festival in July 2013.
Ian returns to Robin 2 with his band on 5th June - a show not to be missed!!

Probably the best dish in the restaurant. The Red Wine duck is to be avoided, as it is not as authentic as it should have been. If you can take on the spicy, the Assam dishes are very tasty.
Liked: Really good menu choice. Disliked: as it's outdoor, very hot and humid at night...but it is Malaysia!
The resturant service a verity of asian dishes some chainese and some twisted malaysian. The food was superb lots of curry and spice inflounce and not ur typical dry chainese food. Ur taste buds will be flying all over the place from the great taste. I highly recomend yjeir beef redeng and chivken penang. U will find ur self coming... More
Delicious. Food was excellent. Views were amazing. Service was great. We ordered a wide range of food (table of 9) and everything was perfect. Drinks were chilled.
delicious chinese cuisine. however, you have to make reservations way in advance since the restaurant is actually very small and its always fully booked.
While the staff at this restaurant were helpful the menu was ok but not great. Unfortunately because we stayed several nights at the resort we decided this was our best dining option. Unfortunately it did get a bit boring. Our first night at the restaurant was like dining at an airport.
The food was excellent and was served very quickly. The night we were there there were heaps of children running crazily over the rocks in the middle of the restaurant and the mozzies were biting. But quickly they brought some repellant coils.
non chinese is reasl friendly. terrible environment with full of mosquito. Should do something and not only using a simple mosquito smoke.Thank you for your service. Especially the male staff that had served my family. Unfortunatelly, didnt took down his name.
You can only experience this restaurant if you are a resident of the Pangkor Laut Resort, so if you are, you could almost give all the other restaurants on the island a miss and eat here every night. The choice of cusine is second to none and the quality of the food is top rate. It is only open at... More

Here's a news story, and here are some pics of Sapphire enjoying her new home.
*For those that may not be aware, the dog racing industry is horribly cruel. Thousands of dogs are killed every year simply because they're not fast enough, and the ones who stay alive are warehoused in kennels barely large enough for them to stand up or turn around. Here's our factsheet on greyhound racing, and for more information, including info on greyhound adoption here in the states, check out Grey2k USA.

If you are reporting an animal in imminent danger and know where to find the animal and if the abuse is taking place right now, please call your local police department. If the police are unresponsive, please call PETA immediately at 757-622-7382 and press 2.

With just under a month to go before nominations close for the inaugural Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering, the prize's Chair of Trustees, Lord Browne of Madingley has made a final call for engineers around the world to enter the £1million global prize.
Launched in November last year by Prime Minister David Cameron, The Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering will be awarded biannually to an individual or team of up to three people for a 'groundbreaking' advance in engineering which has led to significant international public benefit. As well as recognising and celebrating the best, the prize will provide an opportunity to demonstrate how engineers and engineering are making a real difference across the world. The Royal Academy of Engineering will deliver the accolade, which will be overseen by a charitable trust chaired by Lord Browne. He commented: "The bar is set extremely high for our inaugural prize. We are entering the final straight as far as the nominations process is concerned and I am keen to get the message out that it isn't too late to enter this prestigious prize. "What has been apparent from the entries we've received so far is that engineering is truly a global discipline. We have received high quality nominations from all four corners of the globe and the judging panel will have their work cut out when it comes to choosing our first ever winner." Nominations for the QE Prize close at 17.00 GMT on September 14 and the winner, or winners, will receive the award at a ceremony at Buckingham Palace in May 2013. For more information or to make a nomination, visit http://qeprize.org/.

I've begun a series of posts to explain what's known as puppy aptitude testing, to help you understand that a puppies personality is often largely "set" by the age of 8 weeks old, when they come home with you. An owner really should take the time and effort to find a breeder that not only does or has done the PAT, but will explain the results and implications of those tests to a buyer.
The first area of social skills in the PAT was discussed in the last post, and concerned the puppy's social attraction to people. Did the puppy come to you readily despite distractions? Did the puppy follow you, or decide to go pounce on a littermate instead? The idea is to find out how much the little tots ranks people attention as their priority.
This is just a funny pic giving you a "visual aid" in determining social attraction–what's the most commonly seen side of the puppy, front or back? With my late Kenai, it was the beautiful brown backside!
The next tests in the social skills section of most puppy aptitude tests are to determine "social dominance". The word "dominance" has become a loaded term in training circles, so I'm going to use a different word: independence. Sometimes a thesaurus is the best way to avoid an argument that eclipses the whole post!
Typically refered to as restraint or handling tests, the idea is to place the puppy's body in an awkward position and see how they react. Often, tests will gently and gradually roll the puppy to their back and not let them up. Some will lift their bodies slightly off the ground. I've even read that some will hold the puppy down on their side in a common restraint position at the vet. Many testers will use more than one restraint position, too.
1) Kenai was a 'struggler' who hated to be restrained. He didn't bite or growl, but he made it clear that he did not like this. His usual vet techs learned not to hold him down, since he would not stop struggling in a reasonable amount of time. I went all out adjusting him to every sort of body part handling and he would dutifully hold still for whatever the vet needed to do, however "indelicate".
2) my late Taj would resist just a little bit, then decide it was a good opportunity for a tummy rub and wag his tail, looking at you with soft, playful eyes. He hardly ever met a stranger, my Taj-ster. Some puppies will avoid looking at you but not be distressed by restraint. These are good results, when they quit the "lemme up" fuss quickly.
3) my late Shabah, the puppy mill rescued merle, would struggle only a very little, avoiding eye contact, tucking his tail, and sometimes whimper. If it was a man doing this, he would even piddle some. This is a highly submissive, insecure reaction and it was a big clue at how timid he would be as he grew up.
I also worked with him to allow the vet to do even unpleasant things, so long as he wasn't restrained or cornered, he didn't get so stressed as to need muzzling. A gentle touch, allowed to watch what they were doing, and lots of reassurance made him managable at the vet. He never gave me any trouble at home, which was good. He had his own "asssigned" vet tech, who had a way with calming him, and always had some gentle reward for him.
You want a puppy with the Taj-like response. Especially in a large or giant breed dog, who will attain a size that can seriously injure someone. They will more quickly accept handling and messing with, without being distressed by it. I mentioned the vet, but it's not only the vet that handles a dog. Groomers, show handlers, trainers, kids, and people at the pet store will do things to the dog's body.
This determination of independence or emotional insecurity is tremendously important for any puppy buyer to know, because kids will hug spontaneously. Kenai would have allowed for a time then gently pulled away. Taj would have gotten happy and wanted to play. Shabah would have growled or even bitten them out of fear. You need to know what it will take to prepare the puppy for the inevitable future rudeness of people.
For an assistance dog, the calm acceptance is required. Such dogs are out in public where no companion goes, and human behavior is unpredictable. Strangers ARE going to put their hands on your service dog. Toddlers will innocently assume your working dog is like their own pet and run right up for a hug and bug. If you begin with a puppy that shows a willingness to accept stranger handling, then you can practice the hugs and bugs until the puppy gently permits it without getting reactive.
