Set Job Step Success or Failure Flow
On Azure SQL Database Managed Instance, most, but not all SQL Server Agent features are currently supported. See Azure SQL Database Managed Instance T-SQL differences from SQL Server for details.
When creating Microsoft SQL Server Agent jobs, you can specify what action SQL Server should take if a failure occurs during job execution. Determine the action that SQL Server should take upon the success or failure of each job step. Then use the following procedure to configure the job step action flow logic by using SQL Server Agent.
Before you begin:
To set job step success or failure flow, using:
Before You Begin
For detailed information, see Implement SQL Server Agent Security.
Using SQL Server Management Studio
To set job step success or failure flow
In Object Explorer, expand SQL Server Agent, and then expand Jobs.
Right-click the job you want to edit, and then click Properties.
Select the Steps page, click a step, and then click Edit.
In the Job Step Properties dialog box, select the Advanced page.
In the On success actionlist, click the action to perform if the job step completes successfully.
In the Retry attempts box, enter the number of times from 0 through 9999 that the job step should be repeated before it is considered to have failed. If you entered a value greater than 0 in the Retry attempts box, enter in the Retry interval (minutes) box the number of minutes from 1 through 9999 that must pass before the job step is retried.
In the On failure action list, click the action to perform if the job step fails.
If the job is a Transact-SQL script, you can choose from the following options:
In the Output file box, enter the name of an output file to which the script output will be written. By default the file is overwritten each time the job step executes. If you do not want the output file overwritten, check Append output to existing file.
Check Log to table if you want to log the job step to a database table. By default the table contents are overwritten each time the job step executes. If you do not want the table contents overwritten, check Append output to existing entry in table. After the job step executes, you can view the contents of this table by clicking View.
Check Include step output in history if you want the output included in the step's history. Output will only be shown if there were no errors. Also, output may be truncated.
If the Run as user list is available, select the proxy account with the credentials that the job will use.
Using Transact-SQL
To set job step success or failure flow
In Object Explorer, connect to an instance of Database Engine.
On the Standard bar, click New Query.
Copy and paste the following example into the query window and click Execute.
USE msdb; GO EXEC sp_add_jobstep @job_name = N'Weekly Sales Data Backup', @step_name = N'Set database to read only', @subsystem = N'TSQL', @command = N'ALTER DATABASE SALES SET READ_ONLY', @on_success_action = 1; GO
For more information, see sp_add_jobstep (Transact-SQL).
Using SQL Server Management Objects
To set job step success or failure flow
Use the JobStep class by using a programming language that you choose, such as Visual Basic, Visual C#, or PowerShell. For more information, see SQL Server Management Objects (SMO).

September 19, 1930 - November 28, 2012
Jeffersonville, NY
Olga Cutler of Jeffersonville, NY, a retired state Community Mental Health Nurse, died Wednesday, November 28, 2012 at Roscoe Nursing Home, Roscoe, NY with family and friends by her side. She was 82.
The daughter of the late Martin and Elizabeth Ryba Melicharek, Olga was born in Manhattan, NY.
Olga attended Marion College in Virginia and Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing in Maryland, graduating with the Class of 1952 to become a Registered Nurse. One of her first challenging assignments was caring for very sick patients in the pediatrics ward at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. She returned to New York City a few years later and accepted a psychiatric nursing position at Roosevelt Hospital. During a chance meeting at a friends' wedding reception she met her future husband, Bill, a fellow from "Upstate". The couple dated, fell in love, married and settled down in Orange and Sullivan Counties, where Olga eventually worked for Middletown Psychiatric Center and New York State community mental health programs.
Olga loved life in the Hudson Valley, and developed a passion for environmental issues and animals that continued throughout her being. She was a member of the Sullivan County Audubon Society, Basha Kill Area Association and Cornell Cooperative Extension of Sullivan County.
Olga is survived locally by her son, William; nephew, Marty (Rosalind) Melicharek III; nieces: Irene (Les) Cary, Nancy (John) Melicharek-Harriger (CA), Susan (Greg) Wojcik (SC), and many cousins and dear friends.
She was predeceased by her beloved husband, William Sr.; a brother, Martin (Verna) Melicharek, Jr. of Sacramento, CA and a sister, Suzanna Melicharek of Jeffersonville, NY.
Cremation will be private. Graveside services and burial will take place on Tuesday, December 4, 2012 at 2 p.m. at the Jeffersonville Lutheran Cemetery, Jeffersonville, NY. A memorial service celebrating Olga's life with friends and family will be held in the Spring.
In lieu of flowers, donation in Olga's memory may be made to the Sullivan County SPCA, 104 Rock Hill Drive, Rock Hill, NY 12775.

This Is The World's Longest Dodge Viper
SEMA is about the only place you'd ever see a car like this (although I once saw something similar sitting outside of one of Winnemucca, Nevada's freeway-visible brothels).
Handling undoubtedly takes a very distant backseat to luxury in this iteration of the legendary muscle car, but we're sure it still goes pretty quick in a straight line.
I'm not sure who would actually use a limo like this, but I'd be willing to bet that whoever it was would also invest heavily in hookers and blow.

Earthlite® Basics Massage Table Covers Package
This unique kit includes Earthlite's premium Samadhi sheet set, Basic fleece pad set with crescent cover, (2) Samadhi flannel face rest covers and Basic Table Warmer. The Samadhi set includes (1) fitted, (1) flat sheet and (1) crescent cover. Samadhi set and crescent cover are natural color. Temperature range on basic table warmer is 86°-122°F.
Kit Includes:
I really love the fleece and the table warmer. I even love the sheets and face cradle cover because they are very soft and feel really nice. The only problem I find is that the sheets and face cradle cover aren't big enough to easily cover my table with the other things on there or the big memory foam face cradle I use. I can make them work by really squeezing them on, but I think over time that will not be good. We will see. Also, I like to put the bolster under the sheets and with no room to spare that isn't possible, so then I also need a cover for the bolster as well.
This is a very nice addition to my table. All of my clients love the extra comfort
I have never ordered anything from Earthlite and man, I was not disappointed. The flannel sheets it came with feel amazing. Add the fleece pad and it is icing on a cake. Highly recommended from one therapist to another.

The higher the HCA(hydroxycitric acid) concentration, the more mileage you are going to get out of the supplement. All brands will contain some amount of the extract from the actual fruit, but the amount of the active substance can vary a lot. There are plenty of fly-by-night products around(pretty much all of the ones in local stores) that only offer a very subpar purity. Often times such supplements(like ones sold at WalMart) only contain 20 or less HCA- even when they are marked as higher(this was the conclusion of a recent study).
Such low-grade products(like the ones from GNC usually) are basically scams, replete with fillers and additives and dont do much to give you the true benefits of the natural extract.

Awesome Stuff: Print Stuff, Make Stuff
from the make-stuff-in-your-home deptOne of the biggest and most important trends right now is the increasing ability for people to make physical stuff that used to be impossible to make themselves. 3D printing is, obviously, a big part of that, but a variety of other advancements are happening at the same time. We're in the very early days, but machines that help you make stuff are getting cheaper and cheaper, as they get more and more powerful. There are a ton of these kinds of things showing up on crowdfunding platforms, so let's take a look at a few:
- 3D Print on the cheap: The interestingly named Buccaneer 3D printer from the also interestingly named Pirate3D Inc. is one of the cheapest 3D printers around these days, running a bit less than $400. And I remember when people were excited that such printers finally got under $2,000! There are a few other 3D printers around a similar price out there, but it's nice to see that the Buccaneer is focused on both ease of use of the 3D printer, while also trying to make the device itself look nicer than many other 3D printers. Cheaper, easier, nicer looking? Those are things that help 3D printing go mainstream.
- 3D print without 3D printed parts: Honestly, I just found this project more amusing for the fact that it's a 3D printer where the makers spend a lot of time mocking 3D printer output. It's the OpenBeam Kossel Pro, a 3D printer without any parts manufactured by a 3D printer. As the creators point out, 3D printing is great for rapid prototyping, but sometimes good old fashioned mass produced injected molded parts are the right tool for the job, and can make things cheaper on a mass scale. So they've made a 3D printer that is too elitist for its own parts.
- Make by cutting down, not building up 3D printing is great for building stuff, but sometimes you have to work in the other direction. The folks at Otherlab in San Francisco have built the Othermill, a small, relatively inexpensive CNC mill device so that you can build stuff, such as electrical parts/circuit boards etc.
- Print on stuff: Okay, so the first items above are all about building stuff, but what do you do with that stuff once it's built? Well, you might want to label it, and that's where Tag On That has you covered. It's a printer that lets you label, well, pretty much anything. They claim that it takes the same technology that puts labels on things like phones, computers and keyboards, and puts that into the hands of the everyday consumer. I have to admit, the first time I saw the "print head" template "squash" into the item it was printing on it, it made me smile. I had no idea that's how you do that.
- Print money. Oh, and finally, just because it's funny, we'll link to Regular Everyday Normal Guy Jon Lajoie planning out his Kickstarter campaign to make himself super rich rather than just pretty damn rich. Videos possibly NSFW depending on where you work.

Tiko - The Unibody 3D Printer
As inventors, we use 3D printers all the time. We love 3D printing and all the doors it opens, but we don't like our printers. It seems like every day something jams, breaks, shifts, or fails. Even when our printers do work, they need fine-tuning to print well. All in all, we probably spend more time working on our printers than on our inventions.
Sure, there are some high-end machines out there that consistently work well—but why do they have to be so expensive?
Go into a store with $179 and see what you can get. A microwave, a mini-fridge, a vacuum, etc. All of these products are pretty complicated, and no one expects them to require fixing every week. We believe a 3D printer shouldn't be any different.
That's why we designed Tiko.
Tiko is a 3D printer unlike any before it. We meticulously designed every piece of it to make it high quality and easy to use, while keeping costs down in order to achieve a great price. So, what makes Tiko different?
Most 3D printers have a multipart frame. These are bulky, difficult to assemble, and easily damaged. This is where Tiko is fundamentally different. Tiko is unibody. That means the whole frame is one piece, introducing an amazing array of benefits. Easy to manufacture. Virtually impossible to misalign. That's how you get a quality 3D printer for $179.
Tiko is a delta 3D printer with three sets of arms moving in unison to control the movement of the print head (more on this later). The essence of Tiko's innovation is our discovery that delta is the ideal configuration to unlock the many benefits of unibody.
From the very beginning, we were determined to make an accurate printer. Tiko's unibody construction and delta mechanism have been carefully designed to deliver exceptionally high mechanical repeatability without the need for high-precision components. That's right, you heard us. Even without high-precision components, Tiko is still able to print incredibly consistent layers.
Tiko printed the vase pictured above at a 200 micron-resolution, but it can print as fine as 50 microns.
Thanks to unibody, Tiko is also enclosed. Whereas most 3D printers have problems with warping prints, Tiko's enclosed print chamber means that prints are isolated from the outside environment, resulting in strong and consistent print results, even when the wind blows.
Tiko's slender unibody frame, delta mechanism, and ultra-compact liquefier/end-effector enable it to print objects far larger than any similarly sized 3D printer.
Like most delta printers, we started with a circular print volume. But we wanted more than that, so we expanded Tiko's print volume into the corners for those extra-long prints, maximizing space efficiency.
Not only can you print large objects, you can actually remove them easily, too. Tiko's print bed is flexible, so once your print is done, you simply lift the printer off the bed, then twist to pop off your print.
And with the specially-formulated coating on Tiko's print bed, prints adhere consistently. No more scraping, no blue painter's tape, and no glue stick shenanigans either.
You know what else is flexible? Your choice of filament. Tiko uses non-proprietary 1.75mm filament on a standard 1kg 165mm (6.5 in.) diameter spool, so you can experiment with different materials. Tiko also detects when you're out of filament and pauses the print so you can reload and resume.
Wires are so 1996. Connect Tiko to the cloud, and you can print from almost anywhere, even from your smartphone. No Wi-Fi? Tiko makes its own wireless access point so you can print directly, too.
Tiko's browser-based software is super user-friendly. We've already optimized Tiko's performance, leaving only a few straightforward settings so you can spend more time on your ideas and leave the printing to Tiko.
Tiko's enclosed build chamber also means children and pets can't interfere with the liquefier, a small but dangerously hot component that is typically left exposed in other 3D printers. Taking things a step further, Tiko has an onboard accelerometer that automatically shuts the printer down if it's disturbed.
This same accelerometer is used for auto calibration, plus something even cooler. Tiko can measure its own performance, so with your permission, we can use performance data from your printer to help make every Tiko better. This will help us improve our firmware and slicing engine AND keep your Tiko running at peak performance. Everybody wins!
Tiko's unibody construction also makes it incredibly strong. The stiffness of the frame improves print quality while making Tiko durable and easy to ship.
But even with all that strength, unibody makes Tiko surprisingly lightweight.
By now you might be wondering: How can a 3D printer this good, with all these features, cost so little? Well, it wasn't easy. But if you're not afraid to geek out, neither are we...
You emailed us, you asked us technical questions, and we're happy to deliver. Right off the bat, there are a few things you should know:
1) Tiko has almost no parts in common with any other 3D printer in the world. Period. With a few exceptions, every component inside Tiko is a bespoke part designed for rapid and inexpensive manufacture.
2) Every component you see below is a generation or two behind where we actually are. We are in a highly competitive field with rampant product-cloning, so we hold our intellectual property very close to the vest, and a number of these technologies are patent-pending. These older parts worked well, and they're similar to what's in the final Tiko, but the latest generation is even better. And secret!
Now let's get technical...
It all started with unibody. In most 3D printers, the most expensive (by far) item is the frame. That's because most 3D printers have a frame built from multiple beams that are fastened together. In delta printers, this frame is often made from three vertical extruded-aluminum beams. We had a simple thought… what if we extruded all three rails together?
Just like that, we had it. A unibody chassis. Strong, lightweight, virtually impossible to misalign, but also one we could extrude by the mile at a very low cost. Being made of one piece means no assembly is needed—no fasteners, no alignments, none of that.
It's a simple concept, but an enormous leap forward. And it's only the beginning.
Deltas really do it better. We don't want to lecture you on robot kinematics, but it's no secret that parallel manipulators are inherently more accurate than their gantry/serial counterparts. We've said it twice, and we're proud to say it again. Tiko does not use high-precision mechanical components. Why not?
Because we don't need to! Tiko's low-part-count parallel-arm mechanism has consistently demonstrated exceptional mechanical repeatability without the use of high-precision rails and linear bearings. That means we can manufacture Tiko using consumer-grade tolerances and relatively simple parts, rather than the crazy-expensive CNC-machine components found in other 3D printers.
Having developed an inexpensive chassis and rails, we didn't want to mess it up with a complicated drive system. Most 3D printers use an eye-popping arrangement of belts, pulleys, and tensioners. Instead, we developed a proprietary direct-drive system in which the motors are mounted onto carriages that drive themselves directly along the rails.
Simple, reliable, and super-inexpensive to make. How we integrated the gear racks into the rails during production, however, is our secret.
NOTE: Don't worry, we abandoned the above pictured NEMA-14's ages ago. They were expensive, heavy, and noisy. Tiko now uses a completely different type of motor that has proven far more suitable, and you wouldn't believe how little it costs. This alone had a major impact on our pricing.
Once we had perfected Tiko's mechanics, the electronics became the most expensive part of the printer. Most 3D printers use hobbyist electronics, which are great for tinkering but overpriced and underpowered for a consumer-grade product. So, we developed our own.
Tiko's electronics employ carefully chosen surface-mount components that are optimized for mass manufacture. These make Tiko faster and smarter, while costing less.
Furthermore, Tiko's high-efficiency liquefier and motors use only a fraction of the energy required by most 3D printers. This allowed us to use smaller and less expensive electronic components and a standard "brick" power adapter instead of a bulky PSU, which further reduced costs.
At its core are the carefully designed convection-optimizing heat vents. These vents maximize the upward flow of hot air while shielding the heatsink. The exact specifications are secret, but Tiko's liquefier maintains a remarkably low inlet temperature without any forced airflow—even inside a warm print chamber.
By incorporating the heat shield into an injection-moldable end effector with integrated ball joints and making a geometrically simple heatsink without any fins, we dropped costs even further.
Achieving our demanding thermal performance criteria also required the use of a one-of-a-kind aerospace-grade Titanium alloy nozzle. The nozzle minimizes conduction to the heatsink without the need for an insulating barrel. The reduced heat flux results in a nozzle that requires very little energy to maintain its temperature, making it exceptionally energy efficient.
Notice how quickly the temperature drops off. We freakin' LOVE Titanium!
This unique nozzle makes for an extremely compact and efficient liquefier, which gives Tiko excellent extrusion control while enabling trouble-free nozzle changing, as no molten filament ever comes into contact with the threads. It also improves print quality by minimizing the effects of radial disturbances in the carriage.
But isn't Titanium expensive? Sure it is, but by making the components so small, it actually reduced our costs.
Tiko's cutting-edge technologies and bespoke parts give it a completely different cost structure than any other 3D printer. It wasn't easy, but we did it, and now we're really excited to take the next step and bring Tiko to you.
Now for $179, you can have a Tiko. What you create with it is up to you.
And first movers can get a Tiko at our limited Earliest Bird ($99) and Early Bird ($139) prices.
If you want multiple Tikos—for your whole family or a school or to simply print more things at the same time—multiply $179 by the number you want and set that as your pledge amount (Example: 3 x $179 = $537 for three Tikos).
NOTE: Multi-Tiko pledges will only be counted in multiples of $179. Earliest/Early Bird prices are limited to one-per-backer.
One of the questions we get asked most is, "Can you use your 3D printer to print another 3D printer?" Well, kind of! For an $18 pledge, you can get a 1/10th scale Baby Tiko Unibody… that was printed by a Tiko!
And for any pledge amount, you'll be helping make 3D printing accessible and dependable for a new population of inventors who haven't had easy access before now. We'll keep you informed of our progress through consistent campaign updates, and over time we'll share creations from around the world that came to life thanks to your support.
We've been working on Tiko for over a year. During that time, we've gone through many iterations, developed some remarkable technologies, and created a strong network of manufacturers to form a solid supply chain. With your help, we can initiate the following steps to bring Tiko to you…
In order to make sure that all backer information is up-to-date so we can ensure fair rates, we will collect shipping fees when we send backer surveys this Fall. Exact shipping rates will vary depending on destination, but will not exceed $65 USD per Tiko.
Tiko rewards will be shipped according to Kickstarter pledge order, starting this November. If you want your Tiko soon, you should move fast!
What is it about us that makes us so different? How were we able to build Tiko, and why are we the ones to deliver? Let's get better acquainted.
Matt Gajkowski (Center)
Matt was born and raised to be an entrepeneur. He believes in simplicity and relentless progress, and he isn't afraid to challenge established ideas. He is the mind behind Tiko's groundbreaking technologies and the muscle that has brought them to market. Matt worked as a freelance product designer before starting Tiko. He now has a vision for the future of 3D printing and the know-how to realize it.
Sharon Charitar (Left)
Sharon gets things done. She handles Tiko's market research, community management, PR, bookkeeping, etc. You name it, she's done it, expertly. An analyst at heart, Sharon finds data that we use to improve our business and our product. She is the glue that holds all of Tiko's operations together and keeps us running smoothly and efficiently.
Michael Zhang (Right)
Michael was born in China and moved to Canada at age 12. He is fluent in Mandarin and has many connections back home. Michael leverages this, along with his sharp technical skill set, to work with experienced manufacturers without language or technical barriers. This enabled us to find new ways to manufacture Tiko's bespoke parts and push the envelope on Tiko's performance while reducing manufacturing costs.
We've worked hard to bring Tiko to this stage, but we couldn't have done it alone. It was through the patience, support, and enthusiasm of some amazing partners that we've made it this far.
Spark Centre is a non-profit support organization that helps entrepreneurs bring innovative technologies to market. A passionate team, they have supported us since day one. They are the minds behind the $25,000 Ignite competition and the Thrive accelerator program. Before we met Spark, our prototype was held together with tape and popsicle sticks. If you have an idea, talk to them!
Fallon StarterKit takes the same top creative talent that works on Fallon's high-profile ad campaigns and lets them create crowdfunding campaigns for select projects. Boy are we glad they selected us! This campaign is the result of our extraordinary partnership with Fallon.
There are numerous other amazing companies we've worked with for manufacturing, legal, accounting, etc. Building a printer is one thing, building a company is another, and it's because of their hard work that Tiko is ready for you.
Risks and challenges
The Tiko is only as good as its parts, and up until now, all of those parts have been prototyped using 3D printing and machining. In production, our parts will be made using injection molding and other processes, which means they'll have different tolerances and mechanical properties than those we've prototyped. If any of these changes compromises performance, we will have to go back and tool them again. This is not a fast process.
Furthermore, we will not release a printer that doesn't meet our high standards, so we'll run endurance tests on every single aspect of Tiko until it's ready. This too, takes time. If something doesn't pass, it has to be analyzed, fixed, re-tooled, and re-tested.
You get the idea—perfecting groundbreaking technologies isn't a quick or easy process. As a result, our biggest challenge is getting it right quickly. We don't want to rush or it will show in the final product, but we also don't want you to wait a day more than necessary. We feel confident about our timeline, and we have expert manufacturing partners who are eager to speed up the process, but our biggest challenge is staying on schedule.
Other than that, you can sit back and relax—with Tiko, you're going to get everything you hoped for and then some!Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

This package provides a general purpose Haskell XML library using Expat to
do its parsing (http://expat.sourceforge.net/ - a fast stream-oriented XML
parser written in C). It is extensible to any string type, with
ByteString and
Text provided out of the box.
Basic usage: Parsing a tree (Tree), formatting a tree (Format). Other features: Helpers for processing XML trees (Proc), trees annotated with XML source location (Annotated), extended XML trees with comments, processing instructions, etc (Extended), XML cursors (Cursor), SAX-style parse (SAX), and access to the low-level interface in case speed is paramount (Internal.IO).
The design goals are speed, speed, speed, interface simplicity and modularity.
For introduction and examples, see the Text.XML.Expat.Tree module. For benchmarks, http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Hexpat/
If you want to do interactive I/O, an obvious option is to use lazy parsing with one of the lazy I/O functions such as hGetContents. However, this can be problematic in some applications because it doesn't handle I/O errors properly and can give no guarantee of timely resource cleanup. Because of the generalized list, Hexpat is designed to allow for chunked I/O, but as of this writing I haven't done a nice integration with enumerator and friends.
IO is filed under Internal because it's low-level and most users won't want it. The other Internal modules are re-exported by Annotated, Tree and Extended, so you won't need to import them directly.
Credits to Iavor Diatchki and the
xml (XML.Light) package for Proc and Cursor.
Thanks to the many contributors.

Creating Winning Habits - google 'Robyn Pulman'
I am a conference speaker, master of ceremonies, organisational and personal coach. For ten years I have traded under Robyn, creating winning habits, with Robyn being the operative word. I have run a consultancy focusing on the professional and personal develpment of teams.Want to move away from 'me' and promote the business more than me as a personality.
Business based on the premise that winning is a habit, so is losing; every day our habits determine our effectiveness or ineffectiveness and say much about our character. My message is real, relatable, practical. Habits are timeless. My style is polished, poised yet fun. Thus, 'habits aren't just for nuns' :).
My existing market extends from high-end corporates to rural Australia. How's that for a niche??!! Having said that, we are ALL creatures of habit and the message is applicable to everyone. Winning is a habit - whether in family, business, health etc Because I talk of timeless principles, the 'world is my oyster' in terms of target market. Having said that, I coach and train leaders of business, teams of managers as well as offer a coaching service to anyone who wants to gain PERSONAL MASTERY - timeless principles to overcome obstacles and create self-worth/success. Have a data base of around 2000 people ranging from company CEO's to mum's at home. Obviously the dollars are in the corporate market and I must speak to them.
LOGO: creating winning Habits
(tag) habits aren't just for nuns
I want initially a logo that can be applied across the board to all marketing / collateral materials. Will ultimately need to see design applied to stationery.
Simple, classy, timeless
Prefer dark background
Feeling good around grey, black, blue and maybe feature of yellow
However, I am open to ideas
Want H of Habits to by stylised and to be used as a mini-logo/trademark that I can put on all my material, including twitter (cf t of twitter)
So, need to see the 'H' of habits sit alone beside or above the logo somehow
Final image will have to be usable in large and small size fonts, across a variety of medium without going fuzzy.

The Avant-Garde Piano
click on image to get larger picture
Bösendorfer, Vienna 1990. Designed for Bösendorfer by the world-renowned Austrian architect Hans Hollein, this piano employs a modern style based on strong color and extensive use of brass. The design is not a 'one-off' for a particular location, but was produced as a limited edition over several years. Hollein has headed a master-class in architecture at the Academy of Applied Arts in Vienna since 1979, and has designed many important buildings in Austria and Germany. Architects are quite often hired to design special casework. They are thought to combine a detailed knowledge of materials with artistic flair. Note that this piano has no prop stick for the lid. It has an electric lid opener!
Since the middle of the 20th century, the impact of technology on the traditional 'acoustic' piano has show itself most clearly in the casework. The extraordinary art-case pianos of the turn of the century were unique individual creations. Now, however, improvements in materials and manufacturing technology have made it possible for visually stunning designs to be produced in greater numbers and on commercial production lines.
In the past it was neither economical nor practical to use these esoteric pianos as the basis for production instruments. Nowadays, however, new materials and computer-controlled machining techniques have made it possible to produce unusual designs in small numbers without costs reaching astronomical levels such as the Hollein piano here demonstrates.

Hulst: Killzone 3 is Guerrilla's first "veteran" project
Speaking of progress between titles, Guerrilla Games co-founder Herman Hulst said Killzone 3 was the studio's first offering as a veteran developer.
Guerrilla headlines
It's true - Killzone 3 did max out all of PS3's SPUs
Killzone 2 famously used only 60 percent of the PlayStation 3's latent power, but when Guerrilla finished with Killzone 3, they were hard pressed to fit everything in.
Killzone 3 Operations DLC "unlikely"
Guerrilla has largely squashed hope of more Operations maps for Killzone 3.
Sony: We're not done with Killzone
Sony India chief Atindriya Bose has said Killzone 3 is likely not the end of the franchise, leaving us exactly as informed as we were ten minutes ago.
Guerrilla to "step back" from Killzone 2
Guerrilla's Seb Downie's confirmed on the EU PS Blog that the developer's about to take a break from Killzone 2 work. "Right now we're going to take a step back from Killzone 2," he said. "We've been working non-stop since the disc version was released on patches, DLC and http://www.killzone.com updates, so need some time […]
Play Killzone devs at Steel and Titanium today
Guerrilla's taking on all comers on the Killzone 2 Steel and Titanium maps today, starting at 10.00am PST. You'll need to be able to play on the US servers to get involved. Details on the PS Blog.
Gears 2 boss: I play Killzone 2, but I don't like Dead Space
Yes, it's true. Rod Fergusson, executive producer of Gears of War 2, is a Killzone 2 player. We know because he told us. "I play a lot of things," he said, talking at GDC last week. "I play World of Warcraft. Most recently I finished 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand, which was a lot […]
Killzone 2 patch detailed, bosses dev diary released
Guerrilla's posted up all the details from last week's Killzone 2 patch. Here's what got fixed: Stability issue regarding randomly named games has been resolved. Stability issue where rapidly tapping (X) causes a crash on spawn-select has been resolved. Stability issue regarding the Saboteur's disguise ability has been resolved. Stability issue regarding game creation with […]
Amsterdam power supply weakened by Killzone 2
Killzone 2's development team grew so large that Amsterdam's power supply couldn't pour out all the extra juice, apparently. Guerrilla's original team of 45 employees grew to around 200 over the course of development. Sony eventually came to the rescue with gas powered generator. More through here.
Movie - Guerrilla details the making of Killzone 2
After the break. This is the first part if a two-part vidoc on the making of Killzone 2, featuring interviews with Guerrilla and lots of saying how great PS3 is. The second part's on Monday, and the game's out February 27. We'll tell you one thing for free: that is a bloody good-looking videogame.
Killzone 2 promos won't work online
Can't wait for Killzone 2? Dream about glowy red eyes? Already made yourself a futuristic Nazi hat in anticipation? Don't, whatever you do, be tempted to buy one of the promo copies being sold online: you won't be able to frag your friends. This Guerrilla post on the US PS boards confirms that promos don't […]
Killzone 2 PS3 bundle confirmed for Australia
Australia's to get its own PS3 Killzone 2 bundle, Kotaku reports. There's no price info through there, but it'll include an 80Gb machine, the game and a DS3. Watch for release on February 26, the same date as the game itself.
Eurogamer Germany gives Killzone 2... an 8
Oh lordy. Eurogamer.de's gone live with an 8/10 Killzone 2 review, the lowest score in the world so far. The game's Metacritic score is currently 95 percent. A bunch of sites were given regional exclusives on reviews last Friday, with the general review embargo lifting today.
Killzone 2 demo to release this Thursday
SCEE's confirmed a Killzone 2 demo will release on Thursday, February 5. The freebie will include the first two sections of the game's first level, as well as the tutorial sequence from the boxed product. The game releases on February 27.
Killzone 2 intro movie released
After the break. Unless you've been under a brick today, the first reviews are in and everything's looking dandy. Don't look if you want to stay unspoiled, obviously. Game's out on February 27.
Eurogamer Killzone 2 review - it's a 9 [Update]
Update: IGN's given it 9.4. Update 2: More scores: Jeuxvideo – 17/20 IGN AU – 9 Gamereactor Denmark – 9 Eurogamer Portugal – 10 Eurogamer Italy – 9 Eurogamer Spain – 10 Eurogamer's gone live with its Killzone 2 review, giving the game 9/10. Snip: This is a methodical shooter that makes few concessions to […]
Main Killzone 2 review embargo is Monday, February 2
According to this Kikizo piece, the main review embargo for Killzone 2 is next Monday, February 2. Eurogamer's advertised review, going live today at 5.00pm GMT is part of an exclusive deal done with Sony. As far as we're aware, at least one other review is to go live this afternoon in addition to the […]
First big Killzone 2 reviews go live tomorrow
Eurogamer's confirmed its Killzone 2 review will go live tomorrow at 5pm GMT. Expect others in addition. You may also want to dig a bunker. If any game is likely to exemplify the term "fanboy," this is it. Those prone to schadenfreude will be hoping for a magic "8", no doubt. Don't forget to fill […]
Australians to get Killzone 2 early and late
Killzone 2 will release in Australia a day before Americans and Brits, and a day after the rest of Europe, IGN reports. The Guerrilla shooter will see light on February 26 as opposed to February 27. Lucky Euros get the game on February 25, obviously.
Killzone 2 goes gold
Killzone 2's off to manufacturing, SCEA's confirmed on the PSBlog. The game's confirmed for a February 27 launch in both the US and Europe, and is looking like the definite epicentre of hotness for next month. A good reason to finally invest in an HD cable for your PS3, anyway.

of more curveballs...unexpected ones, expected but not so soon ones, etc. and since I seem to be totally powerless to change such situations, I'm trying to change my outlook which also is not proving easy. But I'm hoping to come out of it all stronger... REALLY stronger.
In the midst of it all, I'm going to India for a month with the kids... after FOUR LONG YEARS! My mom's not doing too well. My dad has never seen my son. I don't want to be too late this time. Got my emergency tickets last week and right now figuring out immigration as the kiddos are US citizens and need visas to go to India, packing for the trip and just hoping to survive the countless hours of flight.
And, THANK YOU for all your well wishes. Thank you for being there for me. Hope you guys are starting 2008 with a bang.
Here's a few pages I did within the last month or so. The finger is numb from meds which is better than the pain but useless too.
When I come back, hopefully I'll be able to give you guys something more interesting to look at.

Muffin Tin Monday - Hello Kitty
Top row:
- Hello Kitty cookie (from a color-it-yourself kit from Target)
- pastrami roll-ups and provolone cheese
- apples (it was Johnny Appleseed's birthday!)
Bottom row:
- Wheat Thin Stix and the little sauce case holds hummus
- Hello Kitty sealed PB&J sandwich (with fruit leather features)
- grapes on cute picks
I was a little bummed the sandwich didn't turn out very well this time! I've played with the sandwich maker a few times and this is the worst one I've had by far. The bread was too dry and slightly smushed so it didn't fill out the space very well and didn't cut cleanly. My Paigey Pie was ecstatic (to say the least!) over her Hello Kitty lunch, so all was well. :)
I was especially pleased with the cute Hello Kitty cheese! (cut with a Hello Kitty veggie cutter). Next time I think I might add a little detail with food safe markers so the features are more visible. :)
All the Hello Kitty gear was purchased from JBox/JList (this is a link to the Hello Kitty bento stuff!).
This MTM lunch is linked up at the home of Muffin Tin Monday, click on over to see more MTM fun. :)

Audrey has not fallen for Hello Kitty yet. I got her a cute sandwich case at Target but she wanted her sister's Disney Princess one. The trade was made because baby sister does not know any better. Very cute sandwich.

May I request a Dora bento lunch? Would love to see what you come up with! My 2 year old is the ideal bento style eater (loves veggies and fruit and lots of snacky things in small amounts)
My 7 year old is just about impossible, I am hoping one day to find the magic solution to make her eat better / more variety!

Holly, my second son is pretty keen for Hello Kitty too. He went to school today sporting a pink Hello Kitty bandaid on his elbow. Teehee! His choice, he passed righed over Transformers, SpiderMan, Toy Story and Handy Manny in the first aid cabinet - he wanted "the pink kitty cat one!". :)

I have been looking everywhere for those flower shaped silicone mold cups that you use in bentos like this one and can't find them! All I can find are the ones that look like regular cupcake liners. Do you remember where you got these pink ones???

Beth, they come as a set of two, one pink and one yellow. My first set was ordered from Ichiban Kan, before they closed their online store. A friend in CA sent me a second set. :) I see them occassionally on JBox and on ebay.

Oh my gosh Melissa, this is so cute! Did you freehand cut the Hello Kitty pieces? I also have that sandwich press and it never seems to fit my bread right. And I love the HK cheese, if only Molly would east cheese.

- Melissa said... [Reply to comment]
Shannon, I can't believe Molly won't eat cheese! Oh my gosh. It's the first thing Paige asks for every day. I'm not even joking. LOL
For Hello Kitty's features I used a tiny oval cutter for the eyes and nose, a small circle one for the bow middle and sorta used a half of a cutter for the sides of the bow and then freehanded the curves to the middle. The whiskers were easy. :)

Creature comforts and creature sightings are the hallmarks of a sophisticated modern home that sits atop a bluff a stone's throw from the sea along a quiet stretch of the Malibu coast.
The one-story home was designed by Santa Barbara architect Barry Berkus as the showcase property for MariSol Malibu, an 80-acre, 17-lot development just past the Ventura County line on land that was once part of Rancho Malibu. Pelicans, dolphins and the occasional gray whale are visible in the vast expanse of ocean that lies just beyond Pacific Coast Highway while deer, bobcats and the rare mountain lion wander down from the hills above.
Although not without its environmental detractors, MariSol was designed to coexist unobtrusively with its wild surroundings — with maximum luxury thrown into the deal. Developer Richard Morris said great care was taken to restore flora to a bluff that had been scraped clean for farming and to incorporate sustainable materials and energy-efficient design.
Some 20,000 native plants were nurtured in Santa Barbara and replanted on the property, along with 2,000 relocated trees, including mature coastal oaks.
A driveway and wall of brown and tan shale quarried on site has a Mayan-inspired pattern and leads to a motor court that wraps around two sides of the home. A pitched roof of Brazilian slate rises in an irregular pattern above exterior walls of earth-toned stucco and Wisconsin limestone. Narrow, rectangular windows are framed in copper and dark-stained oak.
A rectangular decorative pool also built from native stone sits in a tropical garden alongside the sky-lighted outer entry. French limestone floors start outside and continue into the house. From the front, a glass section of wall and steel-cased double-glass doors provide a view straight through the living room to the ocean.
The 60-foot-wide room sits at the center of the open floor plan and features limestone floors, 14-foot ceilings of rift-sawn French oak and a narrow limestone fireplace backed by oak paneling. A long clerestory window sits above a retracting wall of glass and opens to a limestone patio in the center of the U-shaped structure.
The living room flows into a kitchen with limestone floors and custom oak cabinetry to match a wood-paneled ceiling. Counters and a large eat-in center island feature CaesarStone surfaces. A glass-walled breakfast area has sliding doors on two sides that lead to an outdoor dining area.
Across a wide hallway, a soundproofed media room has a 3-D television and a projection system with a 120-inch screen that drops down from the ceiling. An attached wine room has oak racks with space for 1,500 bottles.
Matching master suites sit at either end of the house, one oriented to the sunrise, the other to the sunset. Both feature wood floors and vaulted wood ceilings.
The rooms have wall-mounted fireplaces, dual walk-in closets and large central windows that frame the backyard and the ocean. One of the master suites is a bit larger than the other and has an office. The larger master bathroom features limestone floors and counters, an attached double shower with green and blue glass tiles and an oval limestone tub. A television — one of more than a dozen in the house — is hidden inside a vanity mirror.
Beyond the patio, the backyard features a lawn edged by a rectangular infinity pool and a spa, both lined with aqua-colored Italian glass tiles.

We all know how important it is to protect our eyes from the sun's harmful UV rays; but what about the harmful effects of blue light rays?
We all know how important it is to protect our eyes from the sun's harmful UV rays; but what about the harmful effects of blue light rays?
How many hours do you spend in front of a digital screen?
Most of us spend the majority of our waking hours staring at a digital screen. Studies suggest that 60% of people spend more than 6 hours a day in front of a digital device.
Blue light is a colour in the "visible light
spectrum" that can be seen by the human eye.
Blue light is a colour in the "visible light
spectrum" that can be seen by the human eye.
Light is made up of electromagnetic particles that travel in waves. These waves emit energy, and range in length and strength. The shorter the wavelength; the higher the energy. The length of the waves is measured in nanometers (nm), with 1 nanometer equaling 1 billionth of a meter. Every wavelength is represented by a different colour, and is grouped into the following categories: gamma rays, x-rays, ultraviolet (UV) rays, visible light, infrared light, and radio waves. Together these wavelengths make up the electromagnetic spectrum.
However the human eye is sensitive to only one part of this spectrum: visible light. Visible light is that part of the electromagnetic spectrum that is seen as colours: violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red. Blue light has a very short wavelength, and so produces a higher amount of energy. Studies suggest that, over time, exposure to the blue end of the light spectrum could cause serious long-term damage to your eyes.
Blue light is actually everywhere.
When outside, light from the sun travels
through the atmosphere.

Blue light is actually everywhere. When outside, light from the sun travels through the atmosphere. The shorter, high energy blue wavelengths collide with the air molecules causing blue light to scatter everywhere. This is what makes the sky look blue. In its natural form, your body uses blue light from the sun to regulate your natural sleep and wake cycles. This is known as your circadian rhythm. Blue light also helps boost alertness, heighten reaction times, elevate moods, and increase the feeling of well being. Artificial sources of blue light include electronic devices such as cell phones and laptop computers, as well as energy-efficient fluorescent bulbs and LED lights.
Blue light waves are the among the shortest, highest energy wavelengths in the visible light spectrum. Because they are shorter, these "Blue" or High Energy Visible (HEV) wavelengths flicker more easily than longer, weaker wavelengths. This kind of flickering creates a glare that can reduce visual contrast and affect sharpness and clarity.
This flickering and glaring may be one of the reasons for eyestrain, headaches, physical and mental fatigue caused by many hours sitting in front of a computer screen or other electronic device.
Our eyes' natural filters do not provide sufficient protection against blue light rays from the sun, let alone the blue light emanating from these devices or from blue light emitted from fluorescent-light tubes. Prolonged exposure to blue light may cause retinal damage and contribute to age-related macular degeneration, which can lead to loss of vision.
The evolution in digital screen technology has advanced dramatically over the years, and many of today's electronic devices use LED back-light technology to help enhance screen brightness and clarity. These LEDs emit very strong blue light waves. Cell phones, computers, tablets and flat-screen televisions are just among a few of the devices that use this technology. Because of their wide-spread use and increasing popularity, we are gradually being exposed to more and more sources of blue light and for longer periods of time.
Most of us spend the majority of our waking hours staring at a digital screen. Blue light has been known to cause flickering and glaring.

Blue light can help elevate your mood and boost awareness, but chronic exposure to blue light at night can lower the production of melatonin, the hormone that regulates sleep, and disrupt your circadian rhythm.
Harvard researchers have linked working the night shift and exposure to blue light at night to several types of cancer (breast, prostate) diabetes, heart disease, obesity and an increased risk for depression.
Researchers aren't exactly sure why exposure to blue light at night seems to have such detrimental effects on our health, but it is known that exposure to light suppresses the secretion of melatonin and lower melatonin levels might explain the association with these types of health problems.
In two American surveys of children aged 12 to 15 years released in July 2014, researchers at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that nearly three-quarters spent at least two hours a day watching TV and using a computer.
The surveys also found that 15 percent of teens watch four or more hours of TV daily, while nearly 12 percent report using their computers for four or more hours a day. The surveys didn't ask teens about their use of smartphones.
Dr. Marjorie Hogan, a pediatrician who helped write the American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines on kids' screen time, recognizes parents have a tough task limiting TV and computers for kids in that 12 to 15 age range - especially in the age of social media.
Most of us spend the majority of our waking hours staring at digital screen, whether it's the computer at work, our personal cell phone, playing a video game, or just relaxing and watching TV. Digital eyestrain is a new term used to describe the conditions resulting from the use of today's popular electronic gadgets.
Digital eyestrain is a medical issue with serious symptoms that can affect learning and work productivity. Symptoms of digital eyestrain, or computer vision syndrome, include blurry vision, difficulty focusing, dry and irritated eyes, headaches, neck and back pain. Digital eyestrain has overtaken carpal-tunnel syndrome as the number one computer-related complaint.
Digital eyestrain does not just affect adults. Children are also at risk for eyestrain due to their growing use of digital devices. Children today have more digital tools at their disposal than ever before – tablets, smart phones, e-readers, videogames are just among a few. According to a study by the Kaiser family Foundation, children and teenagers (ages 8-18) spend more than 7 hours a day consuming electronic media. Before age 10, children's eyes are not fully developed. The crystalline lens and cornea are still largely transparent and overexposed to light, so too much exposure to blue light is not a good thing. Parents should supervise and limit the amount of screen time their children are permitted.
There's growing medical evidence that blue light exposure may cause permanent eye damage; contribute to the destruction of the cells in the center of the retina; and play a role in causing age-related macular degeneration, which can lead to vision loss.
Melanin is the substance in the skin, hair, and eyes that absorbs harmful UV and blue light rays. It's the body's natural sunscreen protection. Higher amounts of melanin afford greater protection, but as we age we lose melanin, so that by age 65 half of the protection is gone making us more susceptible to eye disease such as macular degeneration.
The retina is a very thin, multi-layered tissue covering the inner eyeball. The retina can be harmed by high-energy visible radiation of blue/violet light that penetrates the macular pigment found in the eye. A low macular pigment density may represent a risk factor for age-related macular degeneration by permitting greater blue light damage to the retina.
A Harvard medical study states that "High Energy Visible (HEV) blue light has been identified for years as the most dangerous light for the retina. After chronic exposure, one can expect to see long range growth in the number of macular degenerations, glaucomas, and retinal degenerative diseases". And a paper published by the American Macular Degeneration Foundation (AMDF) reports that "the blue rays of the spectrum seem to accelerate age-related macular degeneration (AMD) more than any other rays in the spectrum".
We all do. Everyone needs to take precautions against the effects of blue light. Whether we work in an office or play in the sun; spend hours staring at a computer screen or texting on our cell phones, we are all being exposed to blue light.

Citizens' voices key to renewed post-2015 development agenda, says UNDP chiefSep 25, 2012
New York — Public consultation in more than 50 developing countries will be part of a global process to ensure citizens' views underpin the design of a post-2015 human development agenda, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Administrator Helen Clark said today.
Speaking during a High-level Panel on the Post-2015 Development Agenda during the 67th Session of the UN General Assembly, Helen Clark said that if people are heard and respected they will be more likely to help deliver a successor framework to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
"We hope that an ambitious post-2015 development agenda can be established, aimed at eradicating poverty in all its dimensions and providing a green, inclusive and equitable future for all," Helen Clark said.
"While the findings of the High-level Panel will be vital, the priorities of citizens, civil society groups and independent experts must also inform the design of a renewed agenda," she said.
Today's side event was chaired by Japan's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Koichiro Gemba, and involved members of the Secretary-General's High-level Panel on the Post-2015 Development Agenda.
"This event will facilitate an inclusive process to establish the post-2015 framework, with lively discussions involving non-government organizations, research institutes, private foundations and youth," Minister Gemba said.
Other speakers at the event included the Special Adviser to the Secretary-General, Amina Mohammed; Sweden's Minister for International Development Cooperation, Gunilla Carlsson; The European Commissioner for Development, Andris Piebalgs, and the Vice President and the Head of the Poverty Reduction and Economic Network at the World Bank, Otaviano Canuto.
To build on the momentum of the high-level event, national-level dialogues are being organized in at least 50 developing countries, initiated by the UN Development Group.
Global and thematic dialogues with key stakeholders are also planned, covering governance, health, education, jobs and other key issues. In addition, the UN is employing new technologies to hold a 'global conversation' with citizens around the world, asking them what kind of world they want to live in and what actions should be taken.
To compile the evidence and diverse perspectives being sought to inform a shared vision and determine a broadly agreed post-2015 agenda, UNDP will host a central United Nations office in New York with secondees from Member States, researchers and across the United Nations.
The UN System Task Team report on the post-2015 development agenda Realizing the Future We Want for All, released in June 2012, reviewed experiences to date, considered the impact of global trends and proposed the possible contours for a new agenda.
The report highlights three principles that should support any new framework: achieving human rights, reducing inequalities, and ensuring sustainability.
Helen Clark said UNDP would continue to prioritize support for countries to achieve the MDGs, including by rolling out the MDG Acceleration Framework.
Since the MDG Summit in 2010, over 40 countries have employed this framework to identify and implement actions to overcome bottlenecks and accelerate progress towards lagging targets.Contact information

NYJ_Shonn Greene 8-yard run (Jay Feely kicks PAT), 5:51
NYJ_FG Feely 39 yards, :03
— Feely's 39-yard field goal capped a 76-yard drive with three seconds left in the half. You can bet the Jets will do nothing but run the ball in the second half _ a good test of the Raiders' defensive will in a game that looks lost.
— Bruce Gradkowski's first series went three-and-out. Incomplete down the right sideline to Louis Murphy, incomplete short to Gary Russell (dangerously close to a pick going the other way) and a short gain to Zach Miller short of the first down.
— Greene caps a 93-yard drive with an 8-yard run, one play after racing 26 yards with a pitch to the 8-yard line.
— With Russell still wearing his helmet and Bruce Gradkowski throwing passes and jogging the sideline, getitng loose, the Jets convert a third-and-5 pass to David Clowney (no pressure) for a first down.
— Raiders forced to punt after Russell throws late, over the middle on Jets blitz. If Dwight Lowery hadn't slipped, it might have been interception No. 3. Raiders actually picked up blitz initially and gave Russell adequate time.
— Following 16-yard run on fake punt, Raiders force again force punt . . . this time he kicks it. Higgins fair catch at the 10-yard line.

The experts at Pantone already announced the annual Color of the Year. It's not one, but a combination of two shades, for the first time ever - Rose Quartz and Serenity Blue - they are shades of pale pink and baby blue. Pantone described these colors as "a harmonious pairing of inviting shades that embody a mindset of tranquility and inner peace."
Rose Quartz evokes a sunset, budding flower, or flushed cheek, while Serenity conjures an expanse of bleached blue sky. Worn separately, they don't have the same power of calmness as they do when worn together.
The pairing offers a variety of lip, cheek and eye palette options, as well as hues for nail color. Flattering against many skin tones, beauty looks pairing the lighthearted, healthy glow of Rose Quartz, with the cool, refreshing tone of Serenity, create a soft and natural statement. Done with a natural, light touch, the flattering pink that enhances the lip, cheek and eye, can be blended with a hint of the cool blue tone that contributes to a beautiful, neutral-based eye shadow palette, accented by classic solid nails or creative nail art that incorporates both shades in the design.
After this news I decided to see if I have something in my shop in these colors and I found!
Here they are:

Electronics Projects: How to Build an LED Driver Circuit
In this project, you build an electronic circuit that uses a transistor to switch on an LED using a current that's much smaller than the LED current. When you close the switch, both LEDs light up. However, LED1 is brighter than LED2 because the collector current is larger than the base current.
If you feel like experimenting a bit after you complete this project, here are couple of suggestions:
Try replacing R2 with larger resistors, such as 10 kΩ and 22 kΩ, or insert a 100 kΩ potentiometer in series with R2. What effect does the increased resistance have on the brightness of the two LEDs?
Measure the base current and the collector current, as follows:
To measure the base current, remove the R2 lead in hole F1 and touch your multimeter probes to the lead you removed and the 2X terminal on the switch.
To measure the collector current, remove the R1 lead at J15 and touch the multimeter probes to the lead you removed and the LED1 anode.

Anatomy of a scandal
CNN's nonstop coverage of the vanished Malaysian plane was widely mocked, but not by the network's investigative team.
Those reporters hadn't quite nailed down an explosive story alleging serious misconduct at the Phoenix Veterans Affairs Hospital, so they used the obsession over the plane to continue working, and then waited for a lull in the 24/7 Flight 370 coverage so they could pounce.
Story Continued Below
"Quite frankly, the plane coverage bought us some of that time, so that in April when we finally had it, I mean we didn't sit on it very long … we were all over it," said CNN Senior Investigative Reporter Drew Griffin of the Veterans Affairs report. "Once there was a news hole opening we were ready to go."
( Also on POLITICO: Obama demands VA answers)
CNN's path-breaking coverage of veterans' issues — dying while they waited for care, allegations of secret waiting lists for tests and treatment, and charges of a coverup — gives the cable network a point of pride after brutal criticism for its plane coverage. Its report shoved the issue onto the national news agenda on Wednesday when President Barack Obama, seen by many as late to the problem, called a White House press conference to address the issue. Obama mocked CNN three weeks ago at a Washington dinner; weeks later, he was dealing with their hard-core reporting.
But the tsunami of problems with the veterans' health care that smashed into the White House had been building for years, growing larger and more menacing as it headed toward the Oval Office. The slow-burn story at the Phoenix VA went from a largely ignored congressional hearing and a local news report before it landed on CNN and then exploded in the national media and seized the White House — the latest reminder that it isn't always the president who sets the agenda.
It began in 2012 when scattered reports of mismanagement at VA hospitals started to emerge across the country, from vets contracting Legionnaires' disease at a VA hospital in Pittsburgh to the deaths of several vets after an Atlanta VA hospital lost track of patients to a November 2013 report on CNN that the nation's soldiers were dying in a Columbia, South Carolina VA hospital as they waited for routine gastrointestinal tests.
But the scandal occupying Obama and Congress today first came to light, albeit unnoticed by the national press, in December 2013, when Sam Foote, a doctor of internal medicine at the Phoenix VA, retired and began meeting with Arizona Republic reporter Dennis Wagner with detailed allegations that patients were placed on a secret waiting list and several died while awaiting care.
( Also on POLITICO: Van Jones: Obama opens Shinseki exit door)
Foote also sent letters in February to Reps. Jeff Miller (R-Fla.) and Ann Kirkpatrick (D-Ariz.), Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), and the U.S. Attorney's Office, according to The Arizona Republic.
On April 9, Miller, chairman of the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs, attempted to nudge the issue into the spotlight when he held a hearing and said that his investigators had evidence the Phoenix VA kept two sets of records in order to conceal prolonged waits for appointments — a fake set to show timely care, and real records reflecting the appalling delays.
The following day on April 10, The Arizona Republic published a report detailing Foote's allegations, along with the moving story of a 71-year-old Navy veteran, Thomas Breen, who died of bladder cancer after repeated attempts by Breen and his family to schedule an appointment at the hospital.
"They (administrators) just don't respect any rules at all," Foote told the Republic. "They just don't care. … They beat me to the ground. I retired just exactly so I could do this."
McCain and Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) quickly added more fuel to the fire by releasing a joint statement calling for a Senate investigation. But the story remained a local one.
Veterans groups, however, began to step up the pressure. On April 16, Concerned Veterans for America organized a protest in Phoenix about the VA problems that drew 150 people, according to the Republic.
Then on April 23, CNN aired a bombshell report on the Phoenix VA called "A Fatal Wait" by the investigative team led by Griffin. The broadcast revealed internal emails showing that top management at the hospital in Arizona knew about the practice of shredding evidence of veterans requesting appointments to make it seem as though the waiting times were shorter.
