Newsweek: American 'Refugees' Head to Mexico for Health Care Fleeing 'Ailing' U.S. System
Pushing a liberal talking point on America's health insurance "crisis", writer Tina Peng painted American medical tourists headed to Mexico as "refugees from an ailing health care system." Yet nowhere in her November 19 Newsweek Web exclusive did Peng put mention the lengths Mexico goes to encourage its poor citizens illegally in the United States on where to obtain free health care for better care, nor did she note that medical tourism is a huge industry in America.:
Dorthea, 72, a retired bank teller, lives in Harlingen, Texas, a city of about 67,000 in the heart of the Rio Grande Valley. Like a lot of Texans, she's crossed the border to Mexico a few times to buy cheap medication. But she'd never considered undergoing complicated medical procedures there—at least, not until she was quoted the prohibitive price of $30,000 for a gastric-band procedure, a treatment for obesity in which a band is placed around the stomach to limit food intake. It wasn't covered by her insurance, so Dorthea, who asked that her last name be withheld for privacy reasons, opted to drive south and pay less than $10,000 for the outpatient operation at an American-owned hospital in Reynosa, Mexico, 10 minutes over the border and about an hour from her home. The outpatient surgery was a success, and she's planning on returning for follow-up care. "It was very good treatment," she says.
Medical tourism, which used to be mainly for elective surgery, and aimed at people who could afford weeklong trips to Brazil, is becoming an increasingly viable source of more basic health care for some of those sidelined by the insurance system in America, where 47 million people are uninsured and many millions are underinsured. Now, Americans like Dorthea who live along the Mexican border are driving and even walking south in search of treatment that can cost half or less of what it does in the United States.
Dorthea will be treated in a private, American-owned private hospital and treated, presumably, by doctors who would be held to higher standards than lower-paid counterparts in the Mexican government's hospitals. Yet Peng failed to explore how a difference in U.S. versus Mexican regulation and labor costs is what's really at play in cross-border medical tourism.
What's more, it seems to not have occurred to Peng that the reason Dorthea was denied insurance coverage for gastric surgery was because her age and obesity presented significant risk of adverse complications and/or death in a surgery that is, after all, elective.
And while she noted that "medical tourism worldwide continues to grow" from "an estimated $60 billion in 2006" to "hit $100 billion by 2012," Peng failed to mention that many of those tourists hail from Canada and other countries with universal government health care who can find better quality care in private facilities in the United States.

Baby Boomer: Living through a Phenomenon
Baby Boomer
And now that you have recalled this time, where are we now? Have we left the culture we changed over the last five decades for the better? Who are we now? Are we still a group to be reckoned with? Do we — can we — continue to shape the world around us? Yes, perhaps we have changed the world and it has changed us, but once upon a time there were simpler days.

Object and materials conservation
Ref: OM1706
This short course is aimed at plant specialists and natural science collection managers and will cover the basics of conserving botanical collections and identifying the immediate issues surrounding a particular collection. The course will cover how to provide the best environment, storage, mounting techniques and methods of display. Dried botanical collections are most commonly known as herbaria and are found in research institutions and museums. Collections can comprise millions of specimens yet there are few courses available to deal with the intricacies of conserving this material. Often it is the task of paper conservators to work on these collections, but tried and tested techniques for paper are not suitable and are often damaging to plant collections. This course will provide comprehensive training in the basics of collecting and pressing of fresh material through to the storage and cleaning of bound herbaria . It will also include current research regarding best practice. Natural science collections are broad in range and their chemistry is complex , therefore the conservation is not straightforward. Several issues surround this material : not only its natural propensity to degrade , but also the fact that it is a good food source for insects and moulds. As a consequence of this, most organic collections have been treated with historic pesticides. These are often extremely toxic and very stable and therefore historic botanical collections require extra consideration before starting work. This course will highlight typical signs of treatment and will provide methods of identifying the actual contaminant applied. Techniques The practical sessions are designed to give conservators an opportunity to learn the best methods which they can apply to a range of botanical collections which they may be able to utilise or adapt for future projects. The aim of the course is to promote discussion and raise awareness of the issues surrounding working with this material. All materials required will be supplied but participants are welcome to bring some material and their own personal conservation hand tools. Current practice The course will encourage active participation from those attending, to foster the spirit of mutual exchange of ideas and experiences. There will be a focused emphasis on shared experience, encouraging the free flow of information and techniques. For further information about the course, please contact the Course Organiser: +44 (0)1243 818219 or firstname.lastname@example.com
Victoria Purewal - OMC Course Leader
Victoria worked at the National Museum of Wales for 24 years and recently left to start her own practice. She is an accredited conservator, undertaking work relating to natural science material but mainly botanical collections, specialising in conserving reconstruction of large un-mounted specimens, of note the collection of Alfred Russell Wallace's Palms.

Zola - We don't fear United
West Ham will walk out at Manchester United on Wednesday with no fear, according to Gianfranco Zola.
By Claire Hughes
Last Updated: 28/10/08 6:05pm
West Ham United will walk out at Manchester United on Wednesday with no fear, according to manager Gianfranco Zola.
Old Trafford is usually the last place a team wants to visit after three successive defeats. But Zola believes that his side are going to the defending champions with a healthy dose of respect - and nothing to fear.
"We do respect them but we don't fear them. We are going to go there and play our game. We are going to try to win the game as we always do that," he told the club's official website.
"I'll be certainly telling them that it is a tough match but in football everything is possible. We are a good team and I believe that we can do that. We respect them but we will play our game and we will see."
Zola's managerial philosophy is that playing good football leads to good results - despite their recent run of defeats.
But the Italian believes that just one result will revert the trend and get things back on track.
He said: "It never happened to me that I saw a team playing that well and then not getting any points for three matches.
"I know that in football things can change quickly. We just need a game to get it right and then everything will be better. It's a good starting point to play well, results are a consequence of that. That's my philosophy and I will pursue it.
"The way we are playing suits the team very well and just have to accept that sometimes there are bad moments and things don't go your way."
Behrami back
The good news for the Hammers' boss ahead of Wednesday's trip to Old Trafford is that Swiss international midfielder Valon Behrami will be back after a groin problem.
But captain Lucas Neill, who has been suffering with a virus, will miss out again, leaving Matthew Upson to lead the team in his absence.
The other key absentee is striker Carlton Cole, who has been given a three-match ban after being sent off in the 2-0 defeat to Arsenal.

National standards must be developed to deal with drug offenders, and the role of drug courts should be reduced in favor of more treatment programs, according to a two-year study released Tuesday by the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.
Cynthia Orr, president of the association and a San Antonio-based attorney, said the association's study on problem-solving courts found there are 2,100 drug courts in virtually every state in the country, but no two are alike.
The association held hearings in several parts of the country and heard from lawyers, judges, social-service workers and drug court participants about the programs, said Rick Jones, a New York-based attorney and co-chairman of the committee that conducted the study. He added that "largely our findings were anecdotal."
The group supports decriminalizing minor drug possession crimes and instead having drug users and their recovery fall under the auspices of the nation's public health system.
"This really is a public health issue," Jones said.
He cited Philadelphia's drug-court program as one that is working to help participants become informed before they commit to the program, but Jones said the study did not specifically look at drug courts in New Jersey.
However, Jones said, "New Jersey is in many respects a cutting-edge state when it comes to thinking about criminal justice issues."
Locally, the drug courts of Atlantic and Cape May counties recently held a graduation in which many participants credited the program with saving them from their drug-dependent lives.
Cape May County Senior Assistant Prosecutor Jim Herlihy said Tuesday that the local programs are seeing results, although they have not been in operation long enough to develop any long-term statistics.
Admittance into the drug- court program here requires the participants to be drug addicts who are legally eligible, meaning they have no history of criminal convictions for violent offenses or for drug dealing for profit.
While the defense attorney's association found many programs do not admit certain offenders who have supported their habits through other crimes, such as theft, Herlihy said those are the very people the program here wants.
"People who commit crimes to support their habit are our target population," Herlihy said.
Herlihy said participants receive counseling from their attorneys and all the evidence in their cases before they decide to join the drug court program. They also must sit in on a session to learn about the program, which provides intense supervision as a way to help drug users overcome their addictions.
"We really have a good program here," he said.

Schizophrenia is an illness that makes life incredibly difficult for a number of people. For many of its victims, the negative or withdrawal symptoms of the illness are the most persistently difficult ones to deal with, since by their very nature they aid in resisting diagnosis and treatment. Fortunately, a good first step in arming against the impacts of the negative symptoms is understanding them.
Negative v. Positive
The term "negative symptoms" implies that there are positive symptoms, which there are. Far from being beneficial, however, the positive symptoms of schizophrenia are simply ones that reflect an alteration in behavior or thought. Usually these alterations manifest themselves as hallucinations or delusions. A negative symptom, on the other hand, represents a lack of absence of thought, as when a schizophrenic appears emotionless. The negative symptoms are also notoriously more difficult to treat.
The negative symptoms of schizophrenia usually begin occurring years before the first episode of acute schizophrenia, but they are hard to catch. This stage of development is called the prodromal period of schizophrenia, and the symptoms include a progressive lack of social interaction and care about personal hygiene. The symptoms become more and more entrenched as this stage progresses.
Negative Symptoms
In a fully schizophrenic patient, the negative symptoms take many forms and become more noticeable to the trained eye. The patient exhibits an overall lack of emotion, speaking in a dull voice and rarely changing the facial expression from a blank stare. Once loved activities are ignored, and the patient will exhibit apathy towards their household duties, school or job tasks, and a general lack of caring towards life. During all of this, the patient will become less communicative, withdrawing into him or herself and away from a normal life.
The impact of a long time suffering under untreated negative symptoms can be equally devastating to a personal and professional life. Obviously, a lack of motivation or drive factors heavily into performance at school or in a job, so a sufferer of schizophrenia may find themselves consistently marked down or fired. They may drive away their friends and family, who if they did not understand the illness may perceive a schizophrenic's lack of interest in them as hurtful. In the end, undiagnosed schizophrenia can dismantle someone's life.
Diagnosis and Treatment
As stated before, the negative symptoms of schizophrenia are particularly difficult to diagnose, especially if the patient is in a time of their life when uncommunicative behavior may be deemed normal, as during the teenage years. However, even if the symptoms are successfully diagnosed, family and friends have an uphill battle to get the sufferer of the illness to meet with doctors and psychologists who may be able to help. Some of the options for treatment are therapy, particularly cognitive behavior therapy. In addition, certain antipsychotic medication or antidepressants can alleviate symptoms, though many have other undesirable side effects.

Going to point you to this documtent
Depending on the error you are receiving will determine what step to take. Look it over, if no open ports, step 7, if you think it's a firewall or anti virus check step 4. If you suspect a bad WMI, check step 5, for Windows 7 specific, check step 8.
Let us know.

Thanks Jay will try it when I get back to work on Tuesday.

Hi Jay ,
I tried all options though still not working.could there be patch somewhere on ports that could make the undetectable workstations work.?
Nov 17, 2011 at 6:32 UTC
From the server hosting SpiceWorks, can you ping the device in question? Do an nslookup on the machine by name and by IP and make sure it is returning the expected results.
Anti Virus can also block the scan so if you have that take a look.
Let me know.
Nov 17, 2011 at 8:36 UTC
yes jay same result no problem with nslookup
Nov 17, 2011 at 8:54 UTC
Doing a search in the search bar at the top of SpiceWorks for both name and IP doesn't find the device (in case it was put into the wrong group by SpiceWorks by mistake)
If not, then on your settings, network scan setting, set up a new scan entry with the single IP of this device and give it the proper credentials. After saving the scan, far right of the new entry, hover over the arrow and choose scan now. See in the top info screen if it succeeds or errors out.

The Telegraph, the leading English daily from Kolkata, salutes the indomitable spirit of students, teachers and parents with the 'The Telegraph School Awards For Excellence 2005'.
The Telegraph, under the aegis of The Telegraph Education Foundation, has taken up the challenge upon itself to support, applaud and encourage outstanding performances of schools, students, teachers, principals and even parents, who have emerged as winners, often against undaunting odds.
The Telegraph Education Foundation, which was set up in 1999, believes that it is the right and responsibility of the society to ensure and enable proper education to children. The Foundation, therefore, has a mission to recognise individuals and institutions who transform themselves as they confront real world challenges.
The Foundation provides financial assistance to underprivileged school and college students and is spread across schools in Kolkata and several districts of West Bengal.
The scholarships are supported by caring Kolkatans, several corporate houses and The Telegraph. Run by a board of trustees, the Foundation is chaired by educationist Neil O' Brien and includes eminent personalities of Kolkata.
Throughout the year The Heritage Resources Pvt Ltd, headed by Barry O' Brien monitors the scholarship awardees and their progress. Said Dr Rudrangshu Mukherjee, Editor, Editorial pages, The Telegraph and trustee, The Telegraph Education Foundation, "Every year through The Telegraph Education Foundation we honour extraordinary people in the world of education, students, teachers, and principals, who excelled often against odds. This is our most poignant moment of the year."
Some of the award categories included The Abhirup Bhadra Memorial 'Thank You Baba-Ma Award' for deserving parents who have fought against all odds to support their children's education; 'Dr Mrs N B O' Brien Memorial Award', given to teachers for their exceptional dedication towards their profession; 'Surendra Paul Memorial Award for Courage' for those who have shown fortitude when faced with life's adversity; and 'The Telegraph School of the Year' for the school which has excelled not only in academics but in other areas as well. A new category called 'A School that looks Beyond' was introduced this year.
The nominees in each category were presented with certificates and scholarships, and the winners received gold medals .The ceremony saw the induction of Gopi Ballabh Singh Deo into the Hall of Fame for his work for the Shabors, a denotified and nomadic tribe from Purulia. Three schools from Kolkata were inducted in the Hall of Fame for their all-round performance.
Over the years, The Telegraph School Awards, which has been an important function in the Kolkata social calendar, has been graced by eminent personalities like Dr Manmohan Singh, Sonia Gandhi, Buddhadeb Bhattacharya. Infosys Chairman and mentor, N R Narayana Murthy, was the chief guest this year. Speaking on the occasion, Murthy said, "I have never had the privelege to participate in such a function. You have raised the confidence of the entire generation of India. I have not seen such heroism, such confidence, such passion."
This salute to the indomitable spirit of the student and academic fraternity is truly in keeping with The Telegraph's own platform of being the 'Unputdownable' newspaper.

Current Events / New Projects
France: The Freedom and Solidarity Forum and D-Day Ceremonies,
June 2014
USA Youth Debates Inc. is honored to be part of the Freedom and Solidarity Forum June 4-5 to coincide with the 70th Anniversary of D-Day commemorating the invasion of allied forces into France on June 6, 1944.
The Forum will take place under the patronage of President François Hollande, President of the French Republic. The conference will bring together American, Canadian and European political leaders, heads of international organizations, thought leaders and young talents.
USA Youth Debates, Inc. and the European Youth Parliament will start the Forum on June 4 with a debate at the Abbaye aux Hommes in Caen. Built in 1063, the Abbaye should be an inspiring place with a very strong topic being debated. On June 6, the delegation will travel to the American Military Cemetery with President Obama and President Hollande for D-Day observances above Omaha Beach. USA Youth Debates is continuing a tradition of being in Normandy for the 60th(2004) and the 65th(2009)
The opportunity to debate at the Forum, join observances on this historic occasion, stay with host families in Normandy and engage with the European Youth Parliament is a great honor and privilege.

Ordered to be built by William the Conquerer before he launched the Norman invasion of England, the Abbaye is now the City Hall of Caen and our site for the Debate on June 4 as we open the Freedom and Solidarity Forum. After the debate, a reception and dinner will follow with France's Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry hosting the event.
USA Youth Debates Inc. took delegations of students to France for debates in 2004 and 2009 to coincide with the 60th and 65th observances of the June 6, 1944 landings by Allied forces to retake France and other countries occupied by Hitler in WWII. In 2014, the organization will travel to France for the 70th Anniversary and be part of the Freedom and Solidarity Forum in Caen. During the trips in 2004 and 09, students got to meet veterans, including American, British, Canadian and Free French Resistance. During ceremonies at Colleville-Sur-Mer at the U.S. Military Cemetery just above Omaha Beach, students got close to veterans and political leaders with President Bush and President Chirac, Secretary of State Colin Powell, Director of "Saving Private Ryan Steven Spielberg and actor Tom Hanks and many others in the media and government. In 2009, students got to see President Obama and President Sarkozy pay tribute to what happened on that historic day in 1944. In 2014, students will be attending ceremonies along with debating at the Freedom & Solidarity Forum with students from the European Youth Parliament.

Morocco: 2014 USA-MAGHREB Youth Debates,
March-April 2014
USA Youth Debates organized a real expansion of debating in the Maghreb region of North Africa with the 2014 USA-MAGHREB Youth Debates. The program featured debaters from six countries with 31 teams representing host country Morocco, the USA, Libya, Mauritania, Algeria and Tunisia.
Representatives of USA Youth Debates traveled in 2013 to Tunisia and Morocco to establish partnerships and discuss the project. Our organization then worked with each U.S. Embassy in Tripoli, Tunis, Nouakchott, Algiers and Rabat to provide funding for
teams coming from each country.
With over a year of planning, the event was held in Moroccan cities of Casablanca and Rabat working with ENCG CASA and The Great Debaters of Morocco in addition to selecting and communicating with teams from the six countries. The USA delegation consisted of sixteen students based at U.S. Universities. The program was set for young people in the ages of 18-24.
Debates were conducted in English, French and Arabic. Cultural presentations for each country added to the "people-to-people" nature of the event as they were done on the
final day at the National Library in Rabat.
Exploring the Medina in Rabat, staying with host families and learning more about culture, experiencing debate in an international setting and letting friendship triumph at the end of the debates resulted in a very successful program. As a diplomat said at the U.S. Embassy, Rabat, "This is the first time in anyone's memory here that we have had a program with all five Maghreb countries and the United States at the same time."

New Events For 2015-16
Youth Debates With the phenomenal success of the 2014 USA-MAGHREB Youth Debates, a new edition is being considered for 2015. After receiving commendations from the U.S. Department of State for its efforts, USA Youth Debates Inc. is looking again to build a new program with both public and private support, the latter of which is critical to the sustainability of such an initiative. Tunisia is a possibility with its strong debate network going back to our debates with them in 2012 in addition to the outstanding work of the British Council and many debate NGO's working to advance civil society. Morocco is another possibility as it was our site for 2014 with its outstanding network of NGO's and schools participating in debate. Keep watching for new developments in Fall, 2014 as we look to try this program in 2015.
The Founder and Director of USA Youth Debates, John Tredway has been looking into this project idea for a few years. The idea is to honor one of the Founders of the European Union with each debate and for the inaugural edition it would be Jean Monnet. In 2008, just before the onset of the Great Recession, representatives of USA Youth Debates traveled to Brussels to meet with youth representatives of the European Union. The concept was discussed to bring a USA delegation to European for debates with their youth counterparts from all over the continent. The economic upheaval temporarily postponed plans but with a June 2014 meeting in Caen with the European Youth Parliament and discussions with corporate and government leaders at the Freedom and Solidarity Forum, it is hope that a new momentum will emerge to do this debate project in the period of 2015-16. If all goes well, the concept is to have debates every other year in an American and European city, honoring the Founders of the EU and American visionaries of the Transatlantic partnership. Cuba Cuba was the starting program for USA Youth Debates, started in 1999 with a Clinton initiative program in which students went to Cuba for debates in January and December 2000. While some changes in relations have occurred since that time, progress is slow and diplomatic relations are hampered by domestic politics in both countries. We keep an open eye to revitalize the historic debates that we started several years ago and remain open to new possibilities.

Schools & Colleges
All eligible undergraduate programs in the College of Engineering and Applied Science—civil engineering, computer science, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering—are ABET accredited. ABET accreditation symbolizes the quality of our engineering programs. NOTE: The undergraduate program in bioengineering will apply for accreditation in 2017 when it becomes eligible.
Accreditation by ABET is a non-governmental, peer-review process that assures the quality of engineering and technology programs. Educational programs undergo this periodic review to calibrate their quality against the strictly established ABET standards. An engineering program must, on a continual basis, assess itself by collecting and analyzing the program performance data for educational quality and program accountability. Demonstration of the methods of program performance assessment, both direct and indirect, and a continual record of program improvement are critical for a successful ABET review.
Accreditation helps many people make important decisions about education, including students choosing an educational program; parents seeking assurance of a quality education; employers recruiting well-prepared graduates; and state registration, licensure and certification boards who screen applicants for entry into professional practice.
Since 1932, ABET has provided quality assurance of education through periodic accreditation. ABET currently accredits more than 2,800 programs at more than 600 colleges and universities nationwide. ABET is recognized by the Council on Higher Education Accreditation.

Malibu, Calif. - The 2004-05 women's swimming and diving season comes to a head at the Belmont Plaza Pool in Long Beach, Calif. this weekend. For the Waves, the Pacific Coast Swimming Conference Championships will once again be the culminating event of their season.
The four day event kicks off Wednesday and continues through the weekend, wrapping up Saturday. The anticipated storm will have no effect inside the plaza's indoor pool.
Head coach Nick Rodionoff's Waves posted a 1-3 record in the four dual meets on their 2005 schedule. Pepperdine lost narrowly to Cal State Northridge and crushed Cal Poly, before losing to Loyola Marymount and San Diego State in a double dual meet in late January.
The names Rodionoff mentioned at the start of this promising season did not disappoint and he looks for his team to make a strong statement at the championships, just as they have continually done. Freshmen Michelle Sutherland and Kady Skora have consistently backed up Rodionoff's claim that his 2004 recruiting class was Pepperdine's strongest, while Erin Kephart added several top-five finishes in dual meets to make the sensational duo a trio. Upperclassmen Ketrina Lemmen and Megan Kelly have proven to be strong forces in both sprint and distance events, each racking up top times in invitationals and dual meets.
Putting its streak of eight top-five PCSC finishes on the line, Pepperdine will also look for its usual point boost from its divers. Lindsay Stephens was the conference runner-up in 2004, while Gina Warren was a conference finalist. Still just a sophomre, Stephens will look to improve on last year's second place finishes in both the three meter and one meter dives and prove she's the PCSC's best.
The 1-3 dual meet record is not a just indicator of the talent and depth of this squad. Rodionoff and his Waves will be out to prove that over the next four days in Long Beach.

The Ford FE (Ford Edsel) engine is one of the most popular engines Ford ever produced, and it powered most Ford and Mercury cars and trucks from the late 50s to the mid 1970s. For many of the later years, FE engines were used mostly in truck applications, but there has been a renaissance of FE engine in high-performance street, strip, muscle cars, and even high-performance trucks. While high-performance build up principles and techniques will be discussed for all engines, author Barry Rabotnick will focus on the max-performance build-up for the most popular engines, such as the 390 and 428.
With the high-performance revival in FE engines, a variety of builds are being performed from stock blocks with mild head and cam work to complete aftermarket engines with aluminum blocks, high-flow heads, and aggressive roller cams. How to Build Max-Performance Ford FE Engines will show you how to select the ideal pistons, connecting rods, and crankshafts to achieve horsepower requirements for all applications. The blocks chapter will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each particular block considered. The book will also examine head, valvetrain, and cam options that are best suited for your performance goals. Also covered are the best-flowing heads, rocker-arm options, lifters, and pushrods. In addition, this volume covers port sizing, cam lift, and the best rocker-arm geometry.
The FE engines are an excellent platform for stroking, and this book provides an insightful, easy-to-follow approach for selecting the right crank, connecting rods, pistons, and making the necessary block modifications. Finally, Ford FE fans have the one book they have been looking for.

Customer Satisfaction in Retail Rises, Led by Publix
MILWAUKEE - Customer satisfaction with the quality of goods and services available to American consumers in the retail, finance and e-commerce sectors rose during the final quarter of 2001, offsetting a drop that began in late 2000, according to the latest American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI).
MILWAUKEE - Customer satisfaction with the quality of goods and services available to American consumers in the retail, finance and e-commerce sectors rose during the final quarter of 2001, offsetting a drop that began in late 2000, according to the latest American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI).
The index, which had declined for four straight quarters, climbed to 72.6 (out of a possible 100) -- a 0.8 percent increase and the third-highest quarterly improvement ever.
Retail, which includes department and discount stores, specialty retail stores, supermarkets, fast-food restaurants and gasoline service stations, reached a score of 75. Publix Super Markets scored 81 points, which was the highest score of any company in the retail sector and the highest-ranking supermarket for the eighth consecutive year.
Department and discount stores accounted for the largest increase (4 percent) in the retail sector, with Target scoring the highest at 77.
"Deep discounting by most retailers was a contributing factor to the boost in customer satisfaction," said Claes Fornell, professor of business and director of the University of Michigan Business School's National Quality Research Center, which compiles and analyzes the ACSI data. "Customer satisfaction based on low price is often fragile and highly dependent on the company's cost structure and price concessions from suppliers.
"While Kmart, which recently filed for bankruptcy protection, may suffer the ultimate consequence from improving too little, too late and with price as a primary weapon, it did improve quality as well, but this improvement was dwarfed by reductions in price."
Among specialty stores, Sam's Club scored 78 and Costco came in at 76.
"The major wholesale clubs continue to be highly regarded for consistently meeting customer expectations," said Jack West, past president of the American Society for Quality (ASQ).
The fast-food industry, as a whole, remains at the bottom of the retail sector in customer satisfaction. Papa John's, with a score of 78, is the only fast-food company that consistently beats the retail sector average, while McDonald's finished last among all retail companies -- fast-food restaurants and otherwise -- for the 8th year in a row.
While ACSI scores for about 80 percent of the companies measured in the current report either improved or remained unchanged, individual company behavior cannot entirely explain the combined breadth and depth of ACSI growth, said the University of Michigan's Fornell.
Falling interest rates, lower prices during the holiday season, increased emphasis on customer service by slumping companies, and improvement in the buyer-seller relationship due to Sept. 11 and its aftermath are underlying forces that probably have contributed to the overall ACSI increase, he said.
The index is produced by a partnership of the U-M Business School, American Society for Quality and CFI Group, and supported in part by ForeSee Results, e-commerce corporate sponsor, and Market Strategies Inc., a major corporate contributor.

Malaysia's Prime Minister Najib Razak has been battling allegations that he illegally moved state funds into his own private accounts. The Wall Street Journal:
Deposits into personal accounts of Malaysia's prime minister totaled more than $1 billion—hundreds of millions more than previously identified—and global investigators believe much of it originated with a Malaysian state fund, people familiar with the matter say.
The investigators' belief contradicts a conclusion reached recently by Malaysia's attorney general.
The attorney general said $681 million deposited to Prime Minister Najib Razak's account—identified by The Wall Street Journal last year—was a legal donation from a member of Saudi Arabia's royal family, and most was returned. The attorney general said there was nothing improper and it was time to stop scrutinizing the deposits, a notion echoed by Mr. Najib.
Investigators in two other countries, while agreeing most of the $681 million ultimately was returned, believe the money originated with a Malaysian state development fund called 1MDB that the prime minister founded, according to people familiar with the probes.
At one point, it looked as if Najib might escape the whole mess unharmed. But the tide seems to have turned, and his fishy excuses aren't holding up.
This is an important story for Malaysia, but it also highlights how the international finance system allows thieves to stow away dark money without any real difficulty. International regulators and state regulators generally do a poor job keeping track of and vetting money transfers across state borders.
Najib's alleged abuse also speaks to the dangers of state-owned asset funds, which politicians can easily use these as piggy banks — to fund projects that help them win re-election, or simply to feather their own nests. The sheer incompetence with which this fund has been managed, apart from any shenanigans, is stunning.
It's also reminder that even politicians who can resist the temptation to abuse public funds are often very poor investors. Funds like the 1MDB should be subject to very strict and non-political scrutiny. If politicians demand a large role in running them and managing their investments, voters should assume the worst.
At this point, we suspect many Malaysians are coming to this conclusion.

We spit from a great height on the idea of a system that reduces music to a minor role.
Music is an art- form, and its independence is essential in order to be able to offer up authentic artists, who operate from beyond the scope of any business propositions and sclerotic production lines. Unknown Pleasures Records is the answer to the lifelessness and mediocrity of the current music scene. ... more

Man Oh Man, Had Abdomenal Ultrasound Today And Area Is Sore
Lounge By sweetcravings Updated 4 Oct 2009 , 11:53pm by seasonsmoke
Have you guys ever had an abdomenal ultrasound? I have in the past and never have i experience such pain as the one today. The technician pushed soooo hard on my abdomen i just about started to cry. She was so rough. I wouldn't be surprized if i have bruises tomorrow. The areas are so tender to touch right now even. I even told her how bad it was and she just continued on..ugh..I know i have extra fat in the tummy area but man oh man i've never experienced an ultrasound so intense before. Thank goodness that is over.
I had a colonoscopy yesterday...wanna trade?
An ice pack might help now, and after 24 hours, try heat.

Ohhhh so sorry to hear you had that yesterday. Nope wouldn't want to switch. I had one of those a few years back and lets just say they didn't give me enough sedation. I felt just about everything, and actually woke and was screaming, watching my colon on the screen. Horrible experience. I hope you awoke and remembered nothing at all. That's the way it should be.
I also had a scope put down my throat too...that was wicked too..
I've been sufferring with Ibs for years and have had sooo many unpleasent tests over the years. I guess i shouldn't complain about the ultrasound, it's mickey mouse compared to the others.
I may just take some motrin tonight, my sides, under my ribs hurt sooo much.
I hope your colonoscopy results are all fine.
I was an ER/oncology nurse in a previous life. For weeks I had been dreading this procedure...fear of the unknown, I suppose. Like you, I have IBS, but had successfully avoided having a colonosopy before. The prep the night before was ghastly...such vile tasting stuff. So I assumed the procedure would be ghastly too. However, the day before, a friend sent me this to read.
I laughed so hard it really lifted my spirits.
When I got to the clinic, I talked with the nurses for a few minutes and then the Dr came in and we laughed about that Dave Barry article (see link above). She injected a little valium into my IV to relax me, but that was all. When we got started, she explained everything we were looking at. I was awake the whole time and I watched the whole procedure. It was very cool. I was scared for nothing. No pain really. And no problems.
I'm sorry you had a bad experience. One bad situation can scar you for life in a lot of cases. Your story reminded me of when I had a c-section when my son was born, my epidural wore off half way thru. Terrifying and excruciating. I never had another child. I suspect others have similar tales to tell. I'd like to read about them.
Ooo. Sorry! I've had 2 abdominal ultrasounds. The first was uncomfortable. The 2nd, when I had my ovarian tumor, was very uncomfortable. I have LOTS of extra padding, but I've never had the tech push so hard that it hurt and bruised. Sorry you got stuck w/ someone with poor bedside manner. HUGS

That happened to me too. When I had my first baby, I had a spinal rather than an epidural, and got that horrible headache. So when I had my second, they decided to go with an epidural instead and it wore off partway through. She increased the dosage immediately but I was freaking out for the rest of the procedure...blood pressure going crazy...and while the doc finished up, she was hugging one side of me and petting my face and my husband was hugging the other side, trying to calm me down I guess.
But you know what? I broke my leg earlier this year and they wouldn't fix it because I didn't have health insurance (had to quit paying for it so we could afford food). So they put an ace bandage on my leg, with a hardened strip at the back, and sent me home with my broken bones grating together every time I moved and a prescription for ibuprofen. And that was a lot worse than having the epidural wear off, a lot, lot, lot worse. When I was sleeping, I was beating the bed (and DH) because I thought the bed was on fire and I was trying to put it out, but it was the pain from my leg, and when I was awake, I was screaming every time I moved. I had surgery about a week later once I'd gotten on the county health plan, but I just remember thinking that I thought people were supposed to faint from extreme pain and wishing I would.
About the original question and the ultrasound, the only time I've had them was when I was pregnant...and once they were pushing too hard and I told them, "If you keep pushing that hard I am going to pee this bed," and they stopped fast.
Sorry you are so sore. I have had the ultrasounds and I hurt like crazy. I have also had the colonoscopy and the scope down the troat. Thank God I finally found a very good team of doctors and the misdiagnosis of IBS was finally corrected after 5 yrs of terrible pain.
2 years ago (Sept 21st) I underwent a double mesenteric bypass. I had severe mesenteric escemia and nearly didn't make it.
My case is rare and is recorded in the medical journals. 43 yr old white woman with no history of vascular disease or heart problems. All I had were the common symptoms of IBS and severe pain within 30 minutes of eating.
Take care of yourself and don't take just one medical opinion.
Morning everyone,
Well, no bruising noted today but certain areas are still pretty tender.
I had a bad experience with the birth of my son too...gave me epidural..didn't work...tried giving me more and more meds..didn't work...nurses jumping on my tummy to get baby out....me screaming in agony..they just about had to put me out for the whole thing. I had nightmares for weeks after his birth about the whole thing. It was tramatic. Then when we tried to conceive again i had a miscarrage. Tried again..miscarrage...We decided enough was enough and we were blessed to have one child. The trama and emotion that goes into each thing was horrible.
Anna...great article. I just wish mine had been so positive. I just remember the doctor advancing the tube..me screaming..advancing, putting in air...me screaming. Apparently they gave me lots of sedation but it just wasn't doing the trick. Next time, if there is a next time...i'm asking for the motherload of drugs for it. I'm sure i will be wicked worried but i guess you gotta do what you gotta do.
Texas...I'll have to remember that next time.lol Although for this abd ultrasound i didn't need to have a full bladder. Maybe i will just say, "if you keep pushing that hard i'm gonna 'throw up' on your table from all the pain." lol
Wow, Shelley. I'm glad they figured out what was going on. Pretty scarey stuff. So many things can have similar symptoms as IBS, so it's good they were on top of things.
Glad to know you are not bruised this morning. Take care of you and my thoughts and prayers are with you.
Hope you're feeling better today Suzanne. Amazing how something done on the 'outside' can make you so sore inside.
Since we're sharing birth stories, I'll just say that if my third had been my first, my first would have been my only. Does that make sense?!
I also had a colonoscopy recently. The prep was the worst part - I lost 7lbs - all fluids I guess! I do recall feeling pain during the procedure, but I have to say, it was amazingly efficient. I was there at 8.30am, and home again by 11am. I think it's normal to be a little bruised the next day.
I'm sorry you had such a rough ultrasound. I'm glad you are feeling better now.

Jubilee Celebration and Concert
By Kevork Keushkerian
LOS ANGELES — Under the auspices of the Armenian General Benevolent Union's Western District Committee, Krikor Satamian Theater Group organized a Jubilee Celebration and Concert dedicated to composer Armen Mantagunian's 60 years of creative career.
Armen Mantagunian was born in 1934, in Yerevan, Armenia. In 1942, he was admitted to the Choreography Dance School in Yerevan and in 1949, he was admitted to the renowned Romanos Melikian Music College in Yerevan.
In 1959, he married Araksi and in 1960, they had a son named Armen Jr. In 1961, he was invited to join the Folk Art Society of the Republic of Soviet Armenia. In 1974, he immigrated to the United States and settled in Glendale, where he continues to compose and create.
Armen Mantagunian has composed two symphonies, a Ballet in 3 acts (Maneh and Aysheh), a sonata for piano, as well as an array of musical albums, arrangements, and orchestrations from 1971-2011.
This unique celebration took place on Saturday, September 19, at the Paznaz Auditorium in Pasadena. The masters of ceremony were the professional duo: Nune Avedisian and Haroutune Foudoulian.
It started with the opening remarks of Dr. Krikor Simonian, chairman of Satamian Theater Group, who warmly welcomed everybody. He said that the 80-year-old Maestro still charms everyone with his well-known songs and melodies. He concluded his remarks by wishing him a healthy life ahead and continued success in the service of Armenian cultural preservation.
The first order of business was the awarding of St. Sahag-St. Mesrob medal, bestowed upon him by Karekin II, Catholicos of all Armenians. The Encyclical was read by Very Rev. Dajad Yardemian, representing Archbishop Hovnan Derderian, Primate of the Western Diocese of the Armenian Church of North America.
Many well-known artists participated in the concert, singing a variety of Mantagunian's famous songs and playing his sweet melodies. Pianist Armen Aharonian and violinist Merujan Markarian mesmerized the audience with their breathtaking performances. Some of the songs were accompanied by recitations, while others were augmented by dances performed by the "Zvartnots" Dance Ensemble. Thus, the evening proved to be an excellent musical extravaganza, well-orchestrated by a truly professional group of performing artists.
Throughout the ceremony, several medals were presented to the Honoree by the Government of Armenia. The Krikor Naregatsi Medal was awarded by the Ministry of Culture, the Komitas Medal was awarded by the Ministry of the Diaspora, and a letter of appreciation was sent by Aram Satian, the president of the Union of Composers of Armenia.
Furthermore, a commendation from the City of Glendale was presented by Mayor Ara Najarian. The Armenian General Benevolent Union also presented a medal, while its troupe of resident actors, the Satamian Theater Group, presented a plaque.
Touched by all these honors bestowed upon him, Mantagunian took to the podium at the end of the concert and warmly thanked everyone involved in the organization of this once in a lifetime celebration, the memory of which will long linger in the hearts and souls of the audience.

Stage is set for television channels in Tamil Nadu to fight it out to claim supremacy. Ever since Kalanithi Maran launched Sun Network around 15 years ago, its flagship Tamil GEC Sun TV has enjoyed monopoly leadership. However, today Sun is facing some serious challenge. And the challenge is coming from none other than Maran's grand uncle and Tamil Nadu CM M Karunanidhi in the form of Kalaignar TV, named after him.
Though other satellite channels like Jaya TV, Raj TV and Vijay TV have co-existed in this space for a long time now, nobody posed a real threat to Sun TV. All these channels could not match the influence, content and distribution power of Maran's Sun Network.
As a venerate journalist put it, "In a state where the media scenario is perilously interwoven with the political fabric of the state, as long as you are aligned with some major political parities, you have the world at your feet." Now, with political patronage gone for Sun TV, for obvious reasons, will the Sun continue to shine as bright?
Obviously, those in the business of television and media do not want to be named. One such media planner observed, "Sun TV is too well entrenched to be immediately replaced by any new channel." One of the reasons for Sun TV being successful is that the channel has been offering good content consistently over the years. Sun TV has banked heavily on films, film-based content and tear jerker soaps and has never taken its viewers for granted.
Since the announcement of Kalaignar TV's programming, Sun TV seems to have been overshadowed. Not that the channel hasn't spruced up its already strong line-up of shows and movies, but the scale at which Kalaignar TV has commenced its operations has equaled, if not bettered, Sun TV.
Kalaignar TV has not only picked up the television rights of several major hits, including Rajnikanth's 'Sivaji', it has also lined up a mix of stars and soaps – and film-based content – which have the potential to take Sun TV head on. According to sources, the channel already has more than 40 new films in its kitty to lure viewers from rivals, and to ensure high TRP ratings within a few days of its launch.
This apart, Kalaignar TV is reported to have poached around 50 per cent of Sun TV's staff – the numbers reported keep varying from one publication to the other. But that list includes two top executives and at least one top newsperson. Prestigious film production houses like Sivaji Productions, AVM Productions and Annamalai Film Productions are among its panel of producers. The channel has also signed on popular actors like Khushboo, Simran, Devayani and K R Vijaya.
If the first two days' programming of Kalaignar TV is anything to go by, the channel is already a hit among the masses. Kalaignar TV aired two blockbuster movies – 'Mozhi' and 'Imsai Arasan 23am Pulikesi' – on September 15, the day of the launch. The FPC of Kalaignar TV, dominated by movies, film-related content and soaps, is sure to woo the viewers and cut into Sun TV's viewership. Admittedly, it's trying to adopt Sun TV's winning formula – and better it.
So, is Sun TV's monopoly over with the launch of Kalaignar TV? With the launch of the government's MSO, the going will only get tougher for the behemoth. Kalaignar TV is the most potent competition Sun TV has ever faced. It will need all its arsenal to withstand this challenger brand.
However, it's not all bad news for Sun TV on the news front. With variety (of political parties, leaders and views) coming on to Sun TV's news bulletins, post the divide with the political party's leadership (DMK), one sees a more acceptable, neutral news alternative in the language for the first time in what seems ages.
