So I'm sitting here with a rack of BlueGene/P . 4 racks, actually, and it's on a different continent, but I still have the use of it. And I'm wondering what it can do..
One rack can drive enough data over its external fiber-optics (TCP on ethernet) to support 30,000 domestic broadband video-on-demand links. About 270 Gbit/second. And it has enough memory to hold 1000 movies. You could make a movie rental vending machine; after a couple of hours, load up another 1000 movies and try to rent them. Rinse and repeat, for as long as there is a market.
But IBM isn't going to make movies (that's Disney, and others). And IBM isnt't going to operate the 'last mile' network to the home (that's ATT, and others). IBM is going to manufacture and market the reliable, high-performance servers that you need as one of the vital components of the solution.
So come on, partner businesses. There is opportunity here (I think ... I am just the Scientist aroundhere ... who's the Market Researcher ?). Shall we take it ? Does it make the world a better place if we do ?
A place where there's room to grow. Opportunity. That's the American Dream. Who's coming ?

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. stocks jumped on Thursday, buoyed by strong housing data and earnings reports, but the euro eked out only modest gains as disappointing labor market and European sentiment figures kept trading choppy.
Contracts to purchase previously owned U.S. homes gained to a near two-year high in March, offering hopes of a pick-up in housing.
The data buoyed riskier assets such as equities, which also gained on another batch of positive earnings, including weapons maker Lockheed Martin Corp (LMT.N) and online jobs recruiter Monster Worldwide Inc MWW.N.
"In any case, progress on the housing market is going to be slow and gradual," said ING's Teunis Brosens. "The pick-up in sales over the past few months appears to be at least partly driven by all-cash buyers."
The pending home sales data are an important clue to existing home sales, Brosens added. "Slowly but surely, the U.S. housing market is climbing out of the abyss."
Equities had dipped early in the session after data showed an underlying trend for U.S. joblessness rising, fueling fears that the U.S. labor market could struggle for some time.
The euro also changed course several times early in the North American session, alternately weighed down by weaker-than-expected euro zone sentiment data and boosted by the stronger U.S. housing market.
"This choppiness and the back and forth have been very characteristic of the past several weeks already," said Vassili Serebriakov, senior currency strategist with Wells Fargo in New York.
Also lending support to riskier assets was Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's statement on Wednesday that the U.S. central bank would not hesitate to launch another round of bond purchases if the economy were to weaken.
"Unexpectedly high (jobless) claims, along with an upward revision for the second week in a row, are especially noteworthy after Bernanke's final statement in yesterday's press conference, when he said the employment data will be the most important determinant of Fed policy," said Christopher Low, chief economist at FTN Financial in New York.
The euro rose slightly against the dollar, up 0.11 percent to $1.3236. But the single currency and the dollar both fell against the yen. The euro shed 0.22 percent to 107.16 yen and the dollar gave up 0.37 percent to 80.96 yen, both well off session lows.
"The pending home sales probably did play a hand in muting some of the negativity from high joblessness and low consumer confidence," said Alexander Chepurko, a foreign exchange analyst at Forex Club in New York.
"But mostly it's a weakening U.S. dollar that's giving the euro/dollar help, after yesterday's Fed proclamation that they are prepared to take additional easing steps even in the face of slightly positive growth," Chepurko said.
The Dow Jones industrial average .DJI gained 113.90 points, or 0.87 percent, to 13,204.62. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index .SPX gained 9.29 points, or 0.67 percent, to 1,399.98. The Nasdaq Composite Index .IXIC gained 20.98 points, or 0.69 percent, to 3,050.61.
European shares closed little changed, pausing after a two-session rally. Worse-than-expected results by Germany's biggest lender, Deutsche Bank (DBKGn.DE), weighed on euro zone banks .SX7E, which were also hit by the sentiment data.
The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 .FTEU3 ended the day up 0.17 percent to 1,044.31.
The MSCI world equity index .MIWD00000PUS rose 0.62 percent, near the top of its range for the session.
The benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note was up 9/32 in price, with the yield at 1.95 percent.
U.S. crude futures pushed higher on optimism about the energy demand outlook after Bernanke's statements as well as the Thursday home sales data.
On the New York Mercantile Exchange, June crude rose 43 cents, or 0.41 percent, to settle at $104.55 a barrel, having traded from $103.84 to $104.92. The price rise stalled ahead of the 50-day moving average at $105.06.

The Dark Knight Rises Teaser Trailer Released
July 19, 2011 by Post Team
The Dark Knight Rises Teaser Trailer Released, One and a half minutes of promotion, shown before the screening of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, has the first look at Tom Hardy as villain Bane genetically built with a leather mask. Christian Bale reprises his role as the Caped Crusader in the film, which will be his last performance in the role of Batman. Liam Neeson character, Ra Al Ghul in 'Batman Begins' looks set to make a turn while providing a voiceover for the trailer. He can be heard saying, "If you get more than a man, if you devote yourself to an ideal, then you become something else entirely. A legend, Mr. Wayne, a legend."
Commissioner Gordon, played by Gary Oldman, is then seen lying gravely ill in a hospital bed asking Bruce Wayne to Batman to return. He said: "We were in this together, and then left. And now rising evil. Batman has to go back." In the last Batman movie, The Dark Knight, Batman ended up going into hiding after taking the blame for the Joker and Harvey Dent campaign criminal 'Two Faces' of. The trailer also shows the skyscrapers of Gotham City is crumbling in the form of the famous symbol of the club before the rapid injection of Bane Batman faces The trailer contains a lot of excited fans of Batman, but lacks some central actions. Anne Hathaway or Catwoman or Joseph Gordon-Levitt John Blake star in this video that suggests there will be more exciting teasers to come. The third Batman adventure also stars Michael Caine, Marion Cotillard, Matthew Modine and a rumored cameo by TV star Adam West. The Dark Knight Rises be released in theaters on July 20, 2012.

Naughty Brownies
What makes these Brownies so naughty is that you incorporate not one, but TWO different types of cookies!
- Ingredients
- step-by-step directions
Naughty Brownies
Brownie Batter:
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup butter (melted)
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 package prepared chocolate chip cookie dough
- 1 double sleeve of double-stuffed sandwich cream cookies
- 1 bag mini marshmallows
- Preheat oven to 375°F
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, butter, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, eggs, flour, baking powder and salt. Mix to combine. Set aside.
- Line a 9 by 13-inch baking dish with aluminum foil. Line the dish with the cookie dough. Spread the sandwich cream cookies over the cookie dough layer. Pour the brownie batter over the sandwich cream cookies, and cook for 20-30 minutes. Prick the brownie batter with a fork to test done-ness. When a fork comes out nearly clean, the Brownies are ready.
- Preheat the oven to broil.
- Sprinkle the marshmallows over the top of the brownies, and place back in the oven. Broil until marshmallows melt and brown slightly.
- Allow to cool 30-45 minutes, and slice into bars.
- Enjoy!

Aflac is an opportunity

I'm not here to get into a name calling match with anyone but to put it simply, Aflac offers a unique opportunity and like ANY opportunity there will be failures. I've been with Aflac for 2 years now and yes, there are struggles, but success is based on personal work ethic and determination. Bottom line is Aflac offers the same opportunity to every person and it's what you make of it. People fail at this career, no question, but it is not the opportunity that failed them. For every angry person who doesn't find success with Aflac there are dozens of others who do. It's not the career for everyone, but for those who stick it out the rewards are endless. In 2008 alone I went on 3 all expenses paid vacations thanks to Aflac and I've already won 2 more for 2009. This company rewards hard work without question. Why do you think Aflac is consistently listed among the Top 100 Companies to Work For, in Forbes "Best Managed Companies of 2008" and MANY MANY other accolades? To any prospective new agents: consider your personal track record, your habits, and your previous experience before starting with Aflac. You must have an entrepreneurial attidute and be willing to work hard.

Smoked Holiday Turkey
Recipe by Cocinero
My father first did this years ago and perfected it over time. He made the mistake of giving them for gifts one year and was swamped with so many requests that he had to stop doing it. This has been the standard turkey at our family's holiday dinners for 25 years.
Top Review by D J8267
Used this recipe for a Fresh Turkey Breast at Thanksgiving, It is EXCELLENT....I cooked it on a Webber Kettle Charcoal grill with hickory wood added to the coals, about 3 hours of smoking time. I have to cook another for Christmas. Bank the charcoal on one side of the grille and hang a couple of foil curtains to divide the grille into thirds, coals on the small side of curtain and the meat on the large side, position lid vents over large side, smoke and heat will go under the curtains, put a thermometer in the top vent to keep tempeture in the 350 range. technique can apply to fish, fowl, pork, beef or peppers when you want a smoked version.....Jim
See Discussion:2 Reviews
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 large turkey
- 118.29 ml minced onion
- 28.39 ml minced garlic
- 14.79 ml minced rosemary
- 14.79 ml fresh black pepper
- 9.85 ml paprika
- 4.92 ml salt
- 78.07 ml olive oil
- 2 large onions, quartered
- 1 small rosemary, branch whole (optional)
Directions See How It's Made
- In a bowl mix minced onion, garlic, rosemary, pepper, 1 tsp paprika, salt and enough olive oil to create a thick paste consistency.
- Clean turkey and prepare for smoker breast up. With a paring knife or other small knife, make incisions straight down into the meat and to the bone, about 1 to 1.5 inches long. You can gouge the holes out deeper below the surface by wiggling the knife to make a larger cavity if you wish. Do this all over the turkey, in any place that you can make a hole and pack some of the mix into the cut, about 1.5 to 2 inches apart.
- Use a spoon and fingers to pack all of the holes with your mix, stuffing them to the top of the hole.
- Quarter onions and pack them with the rosemary sprigs inside the turkey cavity.
- With your hands, coat the turkey on the outside completely with olive oil, and then dust down fairly heavily with paprika. Tie the legs together with string.
- Place on smoker and smoke as you usually would, about 4 to 5 hours in my particular smoker.

Academic IELTS Writing task 1 Sample 178 - Water used for different purposes in six areas
- Details
- Last Updated: Monday, 19 June 2017 18:22
- Written by IELTS Mentor
- Hits: 9213
IELTS Academic Writing Task 1/ Graph Writing - Pie Charts:
» You are advised to spend about 20 minutes on this task.
The charts below show the percentage of water used for different purposes in six areas of the world.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
» You should write at least 150 words.
Percentage of water used for different purposes in six areas of the world.
Model Answer 1:
The provided pie charts compare the domestic, agricultural and industrial water consumptions in six major parts of the world. In general, the highest percentage of water is utilised for agricultural purposes in Asian, African and South American countries while about half of the water in Europe and North America goes to industrial sectors.
As can be seen from the given pie charts, North America's water consumption have a striking similarity to that of Europe. In both of these continents, about half of the water is required in industrial sectors, almost one-third for crop cultivation and 13-15% for people's household use. Interestingly, South America's water absorbing habit is quite contrary to the North American region and it is more like the Asian and African continents. A great portion of water goes to agricultural division in Asian, African and North American countries which is approximately one-third of their total consumption. The highest water consumption is cultivation could be observed in Central Asia (88%) which is almost treble than that of Europe. Household water use in South America was higher than other parts of the world and that stands at 19%. Only 7 to 9 percent water is used by people in Asian and African countries for their personal use at home. Finally, the industrial water consumptions in Asian and African areas ranges from 5% to 12% and this ration is quite lower than that of Europe and North America. Interestingly, South East Asian areas use more water for manufacturing than Africa, central Asia and even North America.
[Written by - Sandra Jordan]
Sample Answer 2:
The provided illustration compares water consumption for three main purposes in six different areas namely: North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Central Asia and South East Asia. Overall, it is clear from the charts that Asian and African countries used more water for irrigation while North American and European countries used more water for their industrial needs.
To begin with, a major portion of water consumption could be observed in the agricultural sector and this was higher in African and Asian region than that of American and European parts. More than 80% water in Africa and Asia went in agricultural fields while this percentage was only 32% in Europe and 39% in North America. North America and Europe required more water in their industrial sectors than that of Asian and African countries. While half of the water was used in the industrial sector in North America and Europe, the percentage of that in African and Asian region ranged from 5% to 12%. Interestingly, water consumption in North and South America shows a contrasting scenario. Finally, more percentages of household water consumption could be observed in American and European continents than that of Asian and African regions.
[Written by - Piero]
Sample Answer 3:
The provided figures give information on the percentage of industrial, agricultural and domestic usage of water in the six different regions of the world. Generally, as can be seen from the illustration, the highest percentage of water is used for agricultural demands, while the least percentage of water is used for the domestic needs.
In Africa, South America, Central and South-East Asia more than 70 percent of water goes to the agricultural sector, whereas in North America and Europe this index is 39 % and 32% respectively. On the contrary, these regions consume more water for industrial purposes (48% and 53%), while industrial purposes require only about 10 % average in South America, Africa, Central and South-East Asia. The biggest percent of domestic water use could be observed is in South America (19%) and Asian regions use the minimum water for domestic needs. The maximum usage of water for agricultural aims is in Central Asia (89 %), and only 32% of water is used by the European farming sector.
[Written by - Erlan]
Add comment
The pie charts show the comparison of water consumptions for industrial, agriculture and domestic use in six different regions.
Overall, agricultural sector accounts for the largest proportion of water consumption in most areas, except for North America and Europe. By contrast, North American and European people spend water mostly for industrial use.
Water for agriculture purpose is spent the most in South America, at 88%. Similarly, Africa, South America, South East Asia have a clear majority of agriculture water use- 84%, 71% and 81% respectively. In contrast to these four countries, this figure secures a smaller amount in North America and Europe, at approximate one-third each.
Although they use a small amount of water in agriculture, people in North America and Europe spend a good proportion (around 50%) in industrial purpose. It is noticeable that domestic use only accounts for a small percentage in all areas. This figure makes up above 10% in North America, South America, Europe whereas it is under 10% in other areas.
( 165 words, Written by QQ)
According to the given information, in all regions except Europe and North America, agricultural water use was the most common with over 80% of usage in Africa, Central and South East Asia followed by 71% in South America. On the contrary, the highest percentage of water goes to Industry in North America and Europe and the proportions of domestic use were there 13% and 15%, respectively. Usage of water for the Industrial purpose and Domestic use was lowest in Africa, Central & South East Asia and South America. Only 7% of water was used for Domestic usage in Asia and 9% in Africa. However, this usage was slightly higher in South America, which accounted for 19%. Turning to the Industrial water usage, the proportion of consumption in South East Asia was 12%, followed by 10% in South America.
Thanks in advance.
First of all best wishes for you in your approaching IELTS exam. In a graph/ IELTS Academic Task 1 response, you should not use past tense all the time. If the data presented in a graph are taken from the past, you need to use past tense. If it shows general data on present circumstances, you will need to use the present tense. Finally, if the data gives prediction/forecast of the future, you should use the future tense. Sometimes you need to use a combination of the tense based on the data given.

Mayhem # 1489836
About MeMy name is Pickles (yes, really) and I'm primarily a fashion designer who models on the side. Although I am primarily a nude model I also do clothed work. I'm up for adventure and creativity, and I'm open to most styles of shooting except erotic or porn. I don't do suggestively sexual either, really; I prefer to model for fine art pics (i/e: no pink or spread shots) but I will model in my corsets and such if asked.
I'm have natural red hair and clean-shaven. I have a *VERY* large back tattoo of a pirate map that goes from neck to butt and a half sleeve tattoo of a Kraken pulling down the black pearl . My ears are pierced. I'm trained in ballet and other forms of dance so I'm very flexible. I can hold poses for long periods of time and I work well with other models.
I'm looking forward to hearing from some of you!

Indeed, the Ottawa MPP's ascension could hardly have been less auspicious: a compromise candidate who came fourth on the first ballot, he won a gruelling convention battle mainly by virtue of not being Toronto leadership hopeful (and marginal frontrunner) Gerard Kennedy.
It only got worse when he arrived at Queen's Park as leader of the Official Opposition.
Then-premier Mike Harris came across as alternately folksy and stiff, but he was positively vibrant compared to McGuinty, whose expressions ranged from "wooden" to "stricken." His charisma-free personality, combined with an unfortunate physical resemblance to Norman Bates (the deranged killer played by Anthony Perkins in the film Psycho), held little promise of drawing new supporters to the demoralized party after the drubbings handed it by the NDP and PCs in successive elections.
But McGuinty would prove nothing if not durable. Indeed, he did better than survive: despite a disastrous campaign in 1999 (in which Howard Hampton publicly made the Norman Bates comparison), the Liberals drew more of the popular vote than either the Tories or New Democrats and improved their standing in the legislature at the expense of both those parties.
Beyond durable, McGuinty also proved to be someone who learned from his mistakes. In the first campaign, McGuinty was woefully unprepared for a televised debate in which he was literally speechless when asked to defend a series of first-term gaffes. Reporters also recall that the Liberal leader appeared unfamiliar with his own party's platform just weeks before the election.
This time around, the Liberals came out early with policies of their own � some of which were promptly swiped by Harris's successor, Ernie Eves � and capitalized on Tory stumbles in the months leading up to the election.
That said, Eves posed a real threat to McGuinty during the premier's first year in office. Seeking to distance himself from the increasingly unpopular policies of the Harris years, Eves pushed his Tories away from their tough-love policies of the past with social spending and policy reversals that seemed lifted from the Liberal playbook.
Eves' abrupt about-face in May, with an election platform harking back to Harris's "common sense revolution," may end up becoming McGuinty's salvation. The Liberals, who'd been in a race for the centre against an incumbent government, were suddenly alone in the vote-rich middle of the political spectrum.
But there will be no salvation for McGuinty if he loses this election. The Liberals won't tolerate more than two losses by a leader in a province � and a party � with many successors in waiting.
July 15, 1955: Born in Ottawa. After studying biology at McMaster University and law at the University of Ottawa, McGuinty starts a law firm with his brother.
1987: Liberal candidate Dalton McGuinty Sr. elected to the Ontario Legislature as the member for Ottawa South.
1990: The elder McGuinty dies of a heart attack at age 64. Dalton Jr. wins the Ottawa South seat in a general election later that year.
1995: McGuinty re-elected in Ottawa South, but the Liberals under Lyn McLeod are soundly defeated by Mike Harris's Conservatives. Two months later, McLeod resigns as party leader.
December 1996: After placing fourth of seven on the first ballot, McGuinty slips past frontrunner Gerard Kennedy on the fifth ballot at the Liberal leadership convention.
June 1999: Liberals fail to topple Tories in a bruising general election. During the campaign, McGuinty refers to Tory premier Mike Harris as a "thug" and NDP leader Howard Hampton compares the Liberal leader to fictional killer Norman Bates.
Despite a disastrous performance in a TV debate, McGuinty is generally credited with improving the Liberals' share of popular vote (to 40 per cent) and seats in Legislature (up five to 35).

In the process of taking over several cities in Iraq, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has gained control of more than just the second largest city in the nation, they've also seized American military equipment.
Pictures have emerged of Omar as-Shishani, who's the top Islamist leader from Chechnya, riding around and getting out of an American Humvee in Mosul. It's worth noting that Chechnya is where the Boston Bombers came from as well.
However, Obama would have us believe that al-Qaeda is on the run and that the war on terror is over. Along with that narrative he would like us to believe that these extremists don't pose a threat to Western nations so releasing five Taliban commanders will have little to no impact on us.
Anyways, the Iraqi forces that the U.S. spent years training to stabilize their country have fled their posts in Mosul while al-Qaeda insurgents invaded, leaving behind all the expensive equipment we provided them with. So, needless to say the militants are enjoying their new Uncle Sam-funded toys.
Now they're riding around in our Humvees and using our weapons against the same people we tried to help, and what's Obama doing about it?
"Closely monitoring" the situation.
Since it's not politically convenient for him to act he's not going to. In fact, he'll more than likely let this go until our intervention would be pointless.
Even the rogue state of Iran has sent their own forces to help the Iraqi military and citizen-soldiers who are rising up to quell the evil they face, but Obama's sitting on his hands, again. This is yet another example of the disastrous Obama-Clinton foreign policy that has destabilized the entire Middle East.
Way to go team!

Mobile malware getting out of control? Study claims 614% increase on year, Android accounts for 92% of total infections
0. phoneArena posted on 28 Jun 2013, 09:44
A terrifying report was released two days ago by the Mobile Threat Center arm (MTC) of Juniper Networks – a manufacturer of network equipment with a hefty stake in enterprise security. According to Juniper, its MTC research facility is dedicated to 'around-the-clock mobile security and privacy research'. The MTC found mobile malware growing exponentially at an alarming rate – a 614% on year increase reaching a total of just about 280,000 malicious apps...

However I wouldn't switch to lumia because what's that thing unique to android.....oh android.....android is THE best OS end of....
30. number29 (Posts: 185; Member since: 25 Jan 2013)
I'd say iOS and WP are both better than Android because they are properly controlled and regulated = better user experience. You'd probably be best switching to iOS; you'll probably find you enjoy it a lot more than Android.

switch to andriod and get antivirus,wp probably does not even have antivirus
47. Roomaku (Posts: 278; Member since: 06 Feb 2012)
Yes WP doesn't probably have any antivirus programs because it doesn't need it, unlike Android. I think this all boils down to common sense though, not that Ios or windowsphone are better they are all closed vs open operating systems. None is better in my opinions just all appeal to different people.
49. joey_sfb (Posts: 6624; Member since: 29 Mar 2012)
android is ideal for people with common sense. anyway I use all three Android flexibility and app support make it a better mobile experience for me for now.
57. haseebzahid (Posts: 1853; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
b ecause it dont have any viruses attack or and malwares in it its because you register as a developer for some cash not free which sounds more bad bad then if u paying some cash to MS you wont mess around creating virus and malwares on other hand android developers dont pay anything so they dont fear the consequences in result there are some who exploit this for their advantage so much for free B.S turns out the s**t way

This problem can be resolved by not downloading from 3rd party app stores. It is just safer to download the Google app market.
38. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
Correct, but not all devices have access to the play store. My tablet didn't, so I was forced to use third party ones, which was difficult and I felt restricted with what I could do on the tablet because I didn't trust the apps I was downloading. Wound up getting rid of the tablet anyway.

Simply surf safe sites,download apps from the safe app stores,and you're safe.

majority being average people have no much knowledge abt these so called safe site safe apps blah blah blah
23. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
Majority of the people who have a android phone will have access to the play store... If they looking on the Internet for free apps chances are they just don't want to pay for an app.. I understand in some countries that not everyone has access to paid apps etc but if you are downloading apps outside of googles control then you can only blame yourself.. Chances are these sites are illegal and pretty sure you don't need to be knowledgeable to know getting paid apps for free is illegal.
28. TheLolGuy (Posts: 483; Member since: 05 Mar 2013)
I absolutely agree. If they're downloading 3rd party apps, they should do the research and use common sense to judge if it's trustworthy.
Most of them just want free or pirated apps. Fine sure, but just be careful to not get a virus. It's an easy way to infect the cheapskates. Ironically, that free app could cost you much, much more with premium SMS spamming.
They key point to understand here is that you have no no one to blame but yourself. Except for the viruses that can infect in other ways without the user's intention. Those usually get fixed promptly, though.
10. TheLolGuy (Posts: 483; Member since: 05 Mar 2013)
That's what you get when your Android OS will reach everyone far and wide. A lot of them will be really stupid, and get viruses from something that was completely in your control. AKA "are you sure you want to do this?" *check* "are you really sure?" *still check*
You can have the most secure OS in the world, and people will still intentionally download clearly suspicious stuff. If you don't give the users a choice in blocking or accepting, then they whine about no freedom and lack of choice.
You have to provide the users the ultimate choice for what they want to do on their device. They have that right. But then they make stupid mistakes and blame Android. Granted no OS is perfect, but I can guarantee you that a lot of virus infections were caused by people who probably did get a warning first, but ignored it anyways.
3. uchihakurtz (Posts: 404; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
Android is unsafe even in Play Store and especially on other sites. But real Android users know how to differentiate which are legit and safe apps and which aren't. Just download from Play Store, choose apps with good ratings and review, and download apps from trusted developers only.
4. chunk1x (Posts: 248; Member since: 25 Jun 2011)
WOW! Android has far more viruses than a $ 2.00 hooker. But at least it still cool.

In the various roles he has undertaken through the years, Val J. Halamandaris has been a singular driving force behind the policy and program initiatives resulting in the recognition of home health care as a viable alternative to institutionalization. His dedication to consumer advocacy, which enhances the quality of life and dignity of those receiving home health care, merits VNA HealthCare Group's highest recognition and deepest respect.
- VNA HealthCare Group
I have the highest respect for them, especially for the nurses, aides and therapists, who devote their lives to caring for people with disabilities, the infirm and dying Americans. There are few more noble professions.
- President Barack Obama
Home health care agencies do such a wonderful job in this country helping people to be able to remain at home and allowing them to receive services
- U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) Chair, Democratic Steering and Outreach Committee
Home care is a combination of compassion and efficiency. It is less expensive than institutional care...but at the same time it is a more caring, human, intimate experience, and therefore it has a greater human element...it's a big mistake not to try to maximize it and find ways to give people the home care option over either nursing homes, hospitals or other institutions
- Former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Newt Gingrich (R-GA)
Medicaid covers long-term care, but only for low-income families. And Medicare only pays for care that is connected to a hospital discharge....our health care system must cover these vital services...[and] we should promote home-based care, which most people prefer, instead of the institutional care that we emphasize now.
- Former U.S. Senator Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-CD)
We need incentives to...keep people in home health care settings...It's dramatically less expensive than long term care.
- U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ)
Home care is clearly the wave of the future. It's clearly where patients want to be cared for. I come from an ethnic family and when a member of our family is severely ill, we would never consider taking them to get institutional care. That's true of many families for both cultural and financial reasons. If patients have a choice of where they want to be cared for, where it's done the right way, they choose home.
- Donna Shalala, former Secretary of Health and Human Services
A couple of years ago, I spent a little bit of time with the National Association for Home Care & Hospice and its president, Val J. Halamandaris, and I was just blown away. What impressed me so much was that they talked about what they do as opposed to just the strategies of how to deal with Washington or Sacramento or Albany or whatever the case may be. Val is a fanatic about care, and it comes through in every way known to mankind. It comes through in the speakers he invites to their events; it comes through in all the stuff he shares.
- Tom Peters, author of In Search of Excellence
Val's home care organization brings thousands of caregivers together into a dynamic organization that provides them with valuable resources and tools to be even better in their important work. He helps them build self-esteem, which leads to self-motivation.
- Mike Vance, former Dean of Disney and author of Think Out of the Box
Val is one of the greatest advocates for seniors in America. He goes beyond the call of duty every time.
- Arthur S. Flemming, former Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare
Val has brought the problems, the challenges, and the opportunities out in the open for everyone to look at. He is a visionary pointing the direction for us.
- Margaret (Peg) Cushman, Professor of Nursing and former President of the Visiting Nurses Association
Although Val has chosen to stay in the background, he deserves much of the credit for what was accomplished both at the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging, where he was closely associated with me and at the House Select Committee on Aging, where he was Congressman Claude Pepper's senior counsel and closest advisor. He put together more hearings on the subject of aging, wrote more reports, drafted more bills, and had more influence on the direction of events than anyone before him or since.
- Frank E. Moss, former U.S. Senator
Val's most important contribution is pulling together all elements of home health care and being able to organize and energize the people involved in the industry.
Anyone working on health care issues in Congress knows the name Val J. Halamandaris.
- Kathleen Gardner Cravedi, former Staff Director of the House Select Committee on Aging
Without your untiring support and active participation, the voices of people advocating meaningful and compassionate health care reform may not have been heard by national leaders.
- Michael Sullivan, Former Executive Director, Indiana Association for Home Care
All of us have been members of many organizations and NAHC is simply the best there is. NAHC aspires to excellence in every respect; its staff has been repeatedly honored as the best in Washington; the organization lives by the highest values and has demonstrated a passionate interest in the well-being of patients and providers.
- Elaine Stephens, Director of Home Care of Steward Home Care/Steward Health Systems and former NAHC C
Home care increasingly is one of the basic building blocks in the developing system of long-term care. On both economic and recuperative bases, home health care will continue to grow as an essential service for individuals, for families and for the community as a whole.
- Former U.S. Senator Olympia Snowe (R-ME)
NCOA is excited to be part of this great event and honored to have such influential award winners in the field of aging.
- National Council of Aging
Health care at home…is something we need more of, not less of. Let us make a commitment to preventive and long-term care. Let us encourage home care as an alternative to nursing homes and give folks a little help to have their parents there.
- Former President Bill Clinton
An overwhelming majority in the U.S. House of Representatives today passed Medicare legislation that reforms the physician payment formula otherwise known as the Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR). The legislation now goes to the Senate, which appears increasingly likely to pass the bill before closing for recess tomorrow.
The House passed the bill with 392 members voting in favor and only 37 against. Four were not voting.
Val J. Halamandaris, President of the National Association for Home Care & Hospice (NAHC), praised the House passage of the bill.
"This bill lifts a black cloud that has been perpetuated over the aged, ill, and disabled for over a decade," Halamandaris said. "The flawed physician payment formula has been like a game of Russian Roulette. The physicians of America had a gun to their head. I want to thank Speaker Boehner and Minority Leader Pelosi for reaching across the aisle to negotiate this miraculous agreement. It is a good thing for the providers that have financed 17 previous 'patches' through reductions in their payment rates."
Halamandaris also praised the inclusion of the rural add-on, which had been a top priority for NAHC.
"The rural add-on extension is a matter of life and death for our rural areas," Halamandaris said. "I know the vital meaning of the rural add-on for patients who live in areas with limited access to care. To smell the clear air should not be a death sentence. Our Medicare system should not discriminate against someone based on an accident of birth. The rural add-on helps to prevent that."
While the inclusion of the rural add-on is an important victory, the measure also contains some problematic provisions for home care and hospice. As previously reported, the bill sets the annual payment rate update (Market Basket Index) at 1 percent in 2018. This represents an estimated 1 point reduction from what would otherwise be the update.
NAHC continues its efforts to remove the rate reduction. NAHC is prepared to present alternatives that could achieve comparable savings. There also may be an opportunity later this year for NAHC to work with Congress to provide alternative reforms to Medicare to replace the rate cuts.
In addition, the bill contains a modification of the home health surety bond requirements, setting the bond minimum at $50,000 and allowing Medicare to scale the bond value up commensurate with the volume of Medicare revenue in the home health agency.
Halamandaris said NAHC is still working to replace both the payment cuts and the surety bond requirement.
"Our work is not done. While providers would very likely face higher cuts under the current system, we intend to provide Congress with alternative proposals to replace the payment cuts to providers. After three years of rebasing, home care and hospice has made enough sacrifices. We will also continue working to remove the nonsensical surety bond requirement in the bill which would cost $130 million over 10 years while only saving $10 million."
The overall bill would institute a permanent fix in the physician payment methodology. This is great news for Medicare providers as there have been 17 previous "patches" that were most often financed by cutting provider payment rates. Since the House bill provides only $70 billion in offsets for a $200-plus billion in costs over 10 years, providers' rate cuts likely total much less than a series of additional patches.
Update: The Senate has adjourned for recess without passing the SGR bill, which means the Senate will not consider the legislation for at least two weeks. Senate leaders plan to take up the legislation soon after the Senate returns from the Congressional spring recess on Monday, April 13. This gives NAHC more time to remove the surety bond provision. Please click here to contact your Senators using the Legislative Action Center to remove the surety bond requirement right away.

But your approach could work too.
