Its a new dawn for Medworxx as EQhealth helps it venture into Kangaroo land
Singapore: Canada-based Medworxx Solutions is expanding into Australia with its partner, EQhealth. Medworxx and EQhealth are performing patient flow diagnostic audits at Eastern Health and Cabrini Health in Australia.
Similar audits in the UK have proven to be effective in identifying hospital patient flow barriers and delays. Two UK patient flow diagnostic audit sites, Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals, and South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, became users of the Medworxx Patient Flow solution.
"I am very excited to be working with the Medworxx team and their solution. There is great applicability in the Australian hospital market with access, patient flow, and readmission rates being high areas of focus," said Ms Anita Grindlay, director, EQhealth.
She added, "The provision of real time utilisation data from the Medworxx solution will provide hospitals with the information needed to facilitate improvements in efficiency and effectiveness of care which is of benefit to hospitals, patients, and payers."
"Australia, because of its health system similarities, represents a great opportunity for Medworxx. Early indications show that Medworxx meets a universal need to measure and monitor appropriate lengths of stay," said Mr Dan Matlow, CEO and president, Medworxx. "With 33 percent of the Canadian acute-care beds, and approximately 2,000 UK hospital beds, our technology and methodology is validated and proven to be effective, and we look forward to seeing its adoption in Australia."

A senior general has said that cyberattacks represent the biggest threat to national security, warning that British firms routinely lose commercially sensitive information to overseas rivals as the result of hacking.
Major General Jonathan Shaw, head of the Ministry of Defence's cybersecurity programme, claims that hacking cost the UK economy £27bn. An MoD spokesman helpfully explained that the figure comes from a report by Detica, commissioned by the Cabinet Office and published back in February.
This report guesstimated that businesses lost £21bn to hackers, while UK citizens were left £3.1bn out of pocket and the government lost £2.2bn. Around a third of the £21bn cost to business was due to industrial espionage, such as stealing designs or commercial secrets. Around £1bn was lost through theft of customer data. The hardest-hit sectors were pharmaceuticals, biotech, electronics, IT and chemicals.
Reliable figures on cybercrime are notoriously hard to come by, and what figures there are frequently get used by vendors to push security sales or to persuade politicians to invest more in cybersecurity. The government earmarked an extra £650m for improving cyberdefences. Maj Gen Shaw seems to be arguing not for more money but rather for a greater focus on credible threats rather than movie plot scenarios, such as hackers taking down power grids.
"The biggest threat to this country by cyber is not military, it is economic," said Maj Gen Shaw, a veteran of the Falklands War and Iraq, told The Daily Telegraph.
"The cyberthreat could affect anyone, and we all need to take measures to protect ourselves against the threat it poses."
An unnamed Warrington firm designed a "revolutionary blade for wind turbines [but] went bust after hackers stole the blueprint and produced a cheaper version", according to Maj Gen Shaw.
"If the moment you come up with a brilliant new idea, it gets nicked by the Chinese then you can end up with your company going bust," he said.
Maj Gen Shaw emphasised improving basic security defences at corporate level, such as improved password security and patching, in order to make life more difficult for foreign cyberspies. He avoided mentioning any offensive capability the UK might be developing.
Christophe Bianco, general manager, EMEA at Qualys, backed the general's call for improved "cyberhygiene".
"In the last 18 months, we've seen a significant increase in the amount of security breaches hitting companies, with many pointing fingers at competitors and foreign governments," Bianco said. "Many of these are being dubbed as Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), implying that they are very technical, sophisticated threats for which organisations are unable to equip themselves against.
"In fact, a large percentage of these attacks could have been prevented by taking simple measures as part of a proactive security strategy, referred to in the industry as having 'good software hygiene' – which Maj Gen Jonathan Shaw refers to. It's now imperative that a company, no matter its size, industry or location, put into place robust security measures to protect their expertise and data." ®

Sheep QuikFence® 6/35/24
A prefabricated fence that has 6 conductive, horizontal strands, is 35" tall installed and has a vertical string every 24". White PVC posts are built into the mesh every 12.5".
The result, when properly energized, is a nearly impenetrable mesh to sheep, goats, coyotes and dogs.
Its very low electrical resistance (37 ohms per 1000') is important for fences that are either long or will experience high weed contact.
Lowest strand is energized and suspended 7" above the ground (instead of neutral and resting on the soil). This reduces the need to spray weeds—and weeds that do contact it are less able to drain away electricity (because it is further to the soil).
Common Uses
- To graze orchards and vineyards.
- To subdivide pastures for a whole season in lieu of moving netting.
- To protect outdoor hay supplies.
- To graze stockpiled forage on hayfields/pastures in late fall and early winter.
- As an interim permanent fence until a proper fence can be built.
For fences that will be moved often, consider ElectroNet® or ElectroStop® instead.
Available with positive/negative (Pos/Neg) capability for high resistance fencing conditions.

* Pos/Neg (PN) fences are recommended where the soil is very dry and/or the animals do not ground well. Two clips are used at each end. One is hooked to the energizer, the second should be connected to a ground rod.
- #206000 - $1.07 per ft (100' roll with double spike posts).
- #206100 - $1.27 per ft (Pos/Neg 100' roll with double spike posts).
Tip: When using Pos/Neg fencing, a PowerLink (see Accessories above) is recommended to attach the negative lead to the ground rod.
See PDFs and videos above for additional installation instructions.
Warning! Due to risk of fire, do NOT use continuous output energizers with electric netting or electro-plastic conductors such as rope, twine or tape. Use only with a low or wide impedance intermittent pulse energizer. (Fi-Shock™ brand energizers which are sold as low impedance, continuous current output should NOT be used with electric netting.) All energizers sold on Premier's website use an intermittent pulse and are suitable for use with electric netting.
Dry conditions and wintertime usage may reduce the effectiveness of electric fencing. Ice and heavy snow can flatten netting and thereby damage it.
Dry or frozen ground may cause post spikes to bend or break if inserted with force. Pilot holes may be needed. We recommend using drivable or single spike posts in hard soils. Double spike posts provide more stability when the ground is soft.
Listed below are recommended optional components. Your particular situation may require alternative recommendations. Please call and talk to our fence consultants if there are any questions at 800-282-6631.

This fence is just the ticket for enclosing some very rough land that I am trying to reclaim. Since the wires are higher up it is easier to use on uneven ground with a lot of brush growing up. I found it similar in ease of handling to regular electronet, and much easier to place the posts because of being able to step on the double spikes. Plus it doesn't sag like permanet.

After setting off a firestorm by threatening to cut funding to Planned Parenthood, the founder and CEO of Susan G. Komen For the Cure — the nation's largest breast-cancer advocacy agency — backtracked and promised to amend the criteria. "We will continue to fund existing grants, including those of Planned Parenthood, and preserve their eligibility to apply for future grants," Nancy G. Brinker said. "We want to apologize to the American public for recent decisions that cast doubt upon our commitment to our mission of saving women's lives." According to Brinker, the decision was not "done for political reasons, or specifically to penalize Planned Parenthood."
Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards expressed gratitude and said her agency could resume longstanding relations with Komen and that she anticipated continuing to receive ongoing funding. "I really take them at their word that this is behind us," according to Richards. She gave credit to an outpouring of support, especially on social media sites, with forcing the reversal. In just three days, Planned Parenthood raised $3 million and acquired 10,000 new Facebook supporters, Richards said.
Komen executives insisted that their decision was not compelled by pressure from anti-abortion groups. Planned Parenthood said its national network of health centers performed more than four million breast exams over the last five years, including nearly 170,000 paid for by Komen grants. The grants totaled $680,000 in 2011. As the controversy developed, Planned Parenthood received $400,000 in smaller donations from 6,000 people, as well as a $250,000 pledge from New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg to match future donations. Komen was flooded with negative emails and Facebook posts, accusing it of bowing to pressure from anti-abortion groups.
Although the dispute between the two sides appears to have reached an amicable solution, the debate continued as Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life Committee, said Komen's decision to reverse its decision will almost certainly cost the group contributions. "I think right now pro-lifers are going to be reluctant to support them because the money may go to the country's largest abortion provider," Tobias said.
According to Mike Paul, president of MGP & Associates, a reputation management firm, Komen will have to "build up trust" following the commotion. Komen was the world's most valuable non-profit brand, according to a 2010 report by market-research firm Harris Interactive. Now, the Komen brand could become a subject for political debate, Paul said. "People wanted to be associated with every single thing they did," he said. "And now we hear politics and policy has influence. The same affinity people had on the positive side became the same affinity they've having on the negative perspective," he said.
"Politics should never come between women and their healthcare, and I am very glad that Komen did the right thing and reversed their misguided and deeply damaging decision," Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), said. Taking an opposite position was Senator David Vitter (R-LA), who originally applauded the move. Commenting on Friday's announcement, Vitter said that "While Komen now claims that they don't want their mission to be 'marred by politics,' unfortunately it seems that Komen caved to political pressure from the pro-abortion movement and its enforcers in the media."
The backlash is still adversely affecting the Susan G. Komen organization. Many long-time donors, irked by the foundation's decision to pull their funding from Planned Parenthood, have said they'll no longer give to the organization. Others, disappointed that the decision was reversed, also will no longer provide financial support. Melissa Berman, president and CEO of Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, is optimistic that the foundation will eventually recover. "They changed their mind pretty quickly, and so they're going to be able to make a recovery here," Berman said. "Susan G. Komen will have to tell the story of how many women they reach, how many women get access to care, how many women participate in their events, how much research they're funding. They'll just have to continue to tell that story clearly and concisely," according to Berman.
Writing in Forbes, contributor Davia Temin says that "In one of the more bizarre series of actions I have ever witnessed, Susan G. Komen for the Cure completely compromised its sterling reputation by first caving in to one set of political pressures, and then another. And in the process, they left us all wondering who these people really are, and what they stand for."
"Although, in their somewhat grudging apology requesting that 'everyone who has participated in this conversation…help us move past this issue,' they clearly want to put the past week behind them, it will never happen. At least not for a good, long time. I bet the folks at Komen wish they could have a do-over. Or that in true Groundhog Day movie fashion, they could replay the week over and over again until they got it right. Reputational suicide is not too extreme to call it. Because no one is happy with them now. And the questioning from all sides will continue, and spill over to their every action. On this one, I predict our memories will be long."

Well, it's landed! "It" meaning Sex and the City: The Movie, which is opening nationwide on Friday. Naysayers are suggesting that the movie will bomb if it doesn't draw in the very important hetero male demographic, which, according to some random brewery, is more interested in watching hockey than reconnecting with America's favorite high-class hoochie mamas. (Dear naysayers: Since when does a strong following of materialistic women with disposable incomes mean nothing in terms of box office receipts? Remember Legally Blonde?) The thing is, if the movie "fails", the blame can probably be placed on its rampant product placement, thin plot and overly-lengthy running time than a lack of moviegoing straight men. Or so say some of the critics! The latest, mostly tepid reviews of the Sex and the City movie, after the jump.
The movie version of Sex and the City, written and directed by Michael Patrick King (always the show's savviest writer), is 2 hours and 22 minutes of love, tears, fashion, depression, lavish vacation, good sex, bad sex, and supreme tenderness. It's as long as five series episodes, a big sweet tasty layer cake stuffed with zingers and soul and dirty-down verve (it's not above having one of the girls poop her pants). Given the running time, though, not that much happens, and what does has several shades more gravitas. That's as it should be. We want Sex and the City on the big screen to be true to the show yet to feel more like a movie. And it does....If Sex and the City as a movie is good rather than great, that's because it lacks the show's antic, humming New York effervescence. King would have done well to come up with at least one major subplot that didn't have to do with relationships. And though Jennifer Hudson, as Carrie's assistant, has a delicate presence, the character is almost embarrassingly saintly. Why couldn't she, too, pine and chatter with the verve of the city? These are relative quibbles, however, in a movie that taps directly back into the show's primal appeal, which is the sweet, sad, saucy delight of sharing these women's company.
The plot, which includes a detour to Mexico, often stops for fashion parades - Carrie alone has dozens of costume changes, including montages of wedding dresses and all the '80s get-ups in her closet. An episode at Fashion Week accomplishes nothing except to bloat the punishing running time. As was often true of the series, Nixon gives the best performance and she's rewarded here with the most developed story arc. The still-sizzling Cattrall has lost none of her skill with one-liners - especially in the movie's funniest scene where the girls use the euphemism "coloring" to discuss sex in front of a child.Davis, still amusing, has almost nothing to do...This movie provides no good reasons to revisit "Sex and the City," except to fulfill fans' desires for one more for the road and add millions to Time Warner's coffers. Be careful what you wish for.
Less a movie than a very long goodbye (again), at 142 minutes, Sex and the City is basically a whole season's worth of episodes-or outtakes-slung together for no better reason than to squeeze all remaining revenues from a stupendously popular show that got out while the going was good. If nothing else, Sex and the City confirms Michael Patrick King's gifts as a television director while demonstrating conclusively that he's in way over his head working on the big screen. Where TV is small and broad and domestic and episodic, movies are large and potentially deep and climactic. But here, the show's lifeblood-its trippy, backtalking, très gay script-sags into the garden-variety sassiness you'd find on any network sitcom. After sampling the movie's bloodless dialogue, I missed the show's bitchy one-liners like hell. And despite the pubic hair, well-hung penis, and mildly graphic Malibu copulating that won the movie its R rating, there are more bad sex jokes than good sex.
But I just couldn't get over how much this shared in common with BRATZ: The Movie. Montage after montage after montage with each and every problem finding a solution by the fabulously dressed four getting together, squee-ing in a pitch that will deafen dogs and neuter most of the males in the audience, and realizing that friendship will get you through any bout of rampant self-absorption. Oh, so this is what happens when you leave Bratz dolls in the sun too long.
Unfortunately, where episodes of the series used to take their cue from a question posed by one of Carrie's columns, writer-director Michael Patrick King never finds that focus, and "Sex and the City" loses its tart edge in the process. In need of some serious tightening up, the flabby picture does what the old Samantha would have never done: It keeps hanging around, pushing for a long-term relationship.
For a series so steeped in romance, the eagerly awaited "Sex and the City" movie feels a trifle half-hearted. Although there's pleasure in seeing HBO's fabulous four reunited, writer-director Michael Patrick King doesn't fully bridge the gap between TV and film - delivering major story flourishes but, too often, playing like a regular episode bloated to five times its customary length.
The movie, which reunites the whole cast, even if the other actresses aren't palsy-walsy with Kim Cattrall, has the delish/insufferable mixture about right. (It wouldn't be SATC if it weren't a little annoying.) Sex and the City: The Motion Picture (not the actual title) is a joyful wallow. And it's more: In this summer of do-overs (The Incredible Hulk, a new Batman versus a new Joker), it's what the series finale should have been. For one last time, the relationship columnist–cum (no pun intended)–anthropologist Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) tests the fairy-tale trappings of modern romance-turns them inside out, pulls at the loose threads, and wrings the tears that have saturated them into iridescent cocktails. (God, that's terrible. I have to work on my Bradshaw-esque relationship musings.) It's not that the writer-director, Michael Patrick King, breaks new ground; it's that these women are in their fifth decade, and age is a more insistent subtext. The time for do-overs is almost up... I shall not spoil what follows, but the wedding sequence (about midway through) is a heart-stopper-a mirthless farce in which cell phones and limos function as agents of the unconscious. It's a chance to watch Parker pull out the acting stops, and she's spectacularly good: The neediness that makes her one of our giddiest comediennes is also a kind of black hole. Parker has come in for some monstrous derision of late-and I suppose it's understandable, given that she's pushed on billboards as the personification of kitty-cat sultriness. But you can sense the fragility beneath the poses. She's always the little girl dressing up, wriggling from one outfit to the next, elated for a bit but apt to wither in the face of rejection or self-doubt. There are plenty of reasons to resent Carrie's incessant hunger for designer anything, but how can you resent Parker's fleeting enchantment? It's what anchors the show.
It's all really soapy, though, with only some smidgens of substance. Co-star Cynthia Nixon's story line is meaty, but more often than not our heroines are defined solely by the partners in their beds and the clothes on their backs, as if to suggest that the right wardrobe and a big enough closet to put it all in are the keys to ultimate happiness. The movie (and the series that inspired it) perpetuate stereotypes of female superficiality, but then again, these women do stick by each other no matter what, which makes it somewhat easier to stick around for the conclusion... Sitting through this extravaganza of extravagance, though, I couldn't help but wonder ... is this movie ever going to end? It takes about as much time as watching five episodes of the series all in a row, which you can do for free on TBS, albeit in a form that's cleaned up for basic cable - the city sans the sex. Then again, one girl's slog is another girl's celebration.
Writer-director Michael Patrick King, one of the driving forces behind the original series, has cannily avoided trying to open up the material too much in taking it to the big screen. Samantha doesn't go into outer space, Miranda doesn't start talking to dead people, and Charlotte doesn't break into a musical number. It's simply an extension of the groundwork that the show already laid down, and for "Sex" fans who have waited four years for another fix, that's all it has to be...While [Jennifer] Hudson is just fine in her first screen appearance since winning an Oscar for her "Dreamgirls" debut, the rest of the cast has the advantage of slipping back into characters they played for years on cable, and that comfort comes through in the performances. The leading quartet pings and zings as well as ever, and even second bananas like Stanford (Willie Garson) and Anthony (Mario Cantone) get their moment as well. (Candice Bergen returns briefly as Carrie's editor at Vogue, delivering a brutally funny line that will be quoted in bridal shops for years to come.)

Ice-missile law finally launched
It took three years, but a 2010 law finally took effect Wednesday that could hit truck and car drivers with big penalties if they don't keep their vehicles clear of snow.
Drivers could be liable for $1,000 fines or more if flying ice and snow cause damage or injuries to others. And motorists who drive around with piles of snow on top of their vehicles can be stopped by police and handed $75 infractions.
The delayed effect of the new law was the result of a legislative compromise, pushing back the effective date in exchange for passage in the waning days of the 2010 General Assembly.
But for House Minority Leader Lawrence F. Cafero Jr., whose wife, Barbara, was the victim of a flying sheet of ice during a morning drive to work, the multi-year wait has been worth it.
While the state's trucking industry successfully fought for 20 years against the so-called ice-missile legislation, it is now selling a low-tech solution that allows drivers to reach up and scrape the tops of their big rigs.
Barbara Cafero was driving about 60 mph to her job in Tarrytown, N.Y., a few years back when a truck in front of her hit a bump and sent the ice airborne in a cascade that smashed her windshield. She survived, but the outcome could have been worse, and her husband decided to pursue legislation outlawing ice on vehicles' roofs.
"When I first brought it up, people laughed at it, as though it was a gag," Cafero, R-Norwalk, said during a recent interview, remembering that to get the bill through the House and Senate, the effective date was postponed 3 1/2 years.
"The stuff flies down in a slow-motion nightmare," Cafero said. "Hopefully, if it saves some damage, it's a good thing."
The new law now requires motorists to scrape off snow and ice from hoods, trunks and roofs. Violations will cost $75. Fines range between $200 and $1,000 on operators of noncommercial vehicles if snow or ice flying off their vehicles results in injury or property damage.
For commercial drivers, the penalties range between $500 and $1,250. Drivers are not required to clean snow or ice from parked vehicles or if a snow or ice event takes place while the vehicle is being driven.
Michael J. Riley, Capitol lobbyist and president of the Motor Transportation Association of Connecticut, said that historically, there wasn't a cost-effective solution to the seasonal problem of snow accumulation, with subsequent melting, refreezing and flying off truck and trailer roofs in chunks in the days after snowstorms.
"I did kill the bill for 20 years based on the fact that there was no way for dealing with it," Riley said recently. "There's no on-board technology yet that causes (ice) to melt or pushes it off. There are no facilities you can go to if you're an over-the-road trucker."
Bigger trucking companies in the state have equipment including large-bristle brushes to clear snow and ice from rigs.
But last year, Riley was contacted by Wisconsin trucker Richard Rowe, who developed an easy-to-assemble, segmented extension pole with a crook toward the top that allows drivers to reach up to the tops of their trailers about 15 feet to pull snow down.
Riley said his association has sold about 50 "Rowe Roof Rakes" at $150 each.
Riley said when the bill came up again four years ago, Cafero vowed to do what it took to get it through the House and Senate.
"He said `I'll give you four years, but come up with something,' " Riley recalled Cafero telling him. Since then, New Jersey and Pennsylvania have passed similar bills.
At trade shows, Riley has tried to push trailer manufacturers to come up with industry-wide solutions, but with much of the nation generally free from ice and snow, it was tough.
"They'd tell me, `We respond to the needs of our customers, and our customers are not asking for this,'" Riley said. "But once they start getting tickets in the Northeast and the northern tier states, that will change. There should be something that's part of the technology of the vehicle, so someone stuck in a snowstorm on the side of the road could have something on board that could take care of it."
There's also no commercial incentive to build facilities that regional truckers would use only a few days a year. "No state in the U.S. has built anything, and I doubt they would," Riley said. "But it's a legitimate issue. People get hurt. People get killed."
Cafero said that like all laws, the new one is only effective if people obey it.
"It all comes down to enforcement," Cafero said.

Ethan: So, it looks like the LePage administration has spent $700,000 this year to find a whopping $209,000 in welfare fraud. If this is what you Republicans call "sound fiscal policy," no wonder they threw you out of the majority last year.
Phil: So using your logic we shouldn't be spending hundreds of millions on law enforcement because so few people commit crimes?
Ethan: Well, I am happy to debate the wasted money spent on our criminal justice system. But in this instance, you Republicans have claimed that we are losing millions to fraud and abuse. Well, in total, we have now spent $2.1 million over three years and discovered less than half a million from only 38 people! Oops.
Phil: I suspect these are the start-up costs of creating an effective fraud unit. Now that it's in place, future cases will cost less to resolve.
Ethan: No sunset provision on that expenditure. My sense is they want to lose (I mean spend) even more money on this fruitless project.
Phil: No sunset provisions on a government program? What a surprise. But you have cleverly diverted the issue away from the culture that needs to change. People giving their earnings to help people who are scamming us, thereby denying benefits to those among us who most need our help, must be stamped out.
Ethan: But that culture doesn't exist. Only 15 people a year have been found to cheat the system annually, out of 350,000! I don't think my calculator has enough zeros to come up with that percentage. Most private enterprise would kill for that level of honesty among their customers, and they certainly wouldn't spend four times what they were recovering.
Phil: Well, it's clear you see no abuse worth stopping, would shut the unit down and demand the governor apologize for creating it in the first place. Is that about right?
Ethan: No, I am actually a big believer in stopping those who cheat the government. I would just focus those resources on the areas where we see real loss: tax breaks that don't create jobs, contractors that overcharge, fee-for-service providers that claim services that never occurred. Instead we perpetuate the false myth that poor people are bilking the system.
Phil: I think you'll find there are many systems in place to address these abuses. And either people are abiding by the law, or people aren't doing their jobs, because we just aren't reading about abuses in the areas of which you speak.
Ethan: Are you kidding? We have report after report showing that corporate welfare doesn't create the jobs that businesses claim. I didn't see Republicans adding $700,000 and eight welfare fraud workers to uncover this abuse. They swept it under the rug.
Phil: How about we eliminate all welfare and just have a simple flat tax? To me the real crime is that we have a welfare system that robs people of their best potential by trapping them in a system that is nearly impossible to climb out of.
Ethan: Do you know how long the average person on welfare in Maine has been there? Five years? 10 years? 20? Nope. Nope. Nope. Eighteen months! That hardly seems like the lifetime trap of which you speak.
Phil: So the generational welfare claim is a lie?
Ethan: Generational poverty is real. Unfortunately, while there is no limit on how long you can be poor, there is a limit on how much the government will help.
Phil: There are too many people who know no other option but government assistance?
Ethan: Are there "too many" who need assistance to survive? Sure. But that's because of the economic divide. I would love it if there were higher paying jobs available so people could support their families, and education was adequate to meet the skills gap. But I don't blame $7 a day in food stamps for creating dependency. You try feeding your family on that amount of money.
Phil: The facts show Maine is stuck with a 12 percent poverty rate and has been for years. Clearly the system we have is not succeeding.
Ethan: And it was double that before the war on poverty began (23.6 percent). If we didn't have these programs in place, our poverty rate would be much higher.
Phil: One would think that after more than 50 years since President Lyndon Johnson declared the war on poverty that we would declare victory and close down the programs except for the disabled and the elderly. Instead we should declare that poverty has won and that we must try something different — like believing in the human spirit and not government programs.
Ethan: Unfortunately, forcing people off assistance creates homelessness, not employment. Look, I am with you in terms of fraud. I don't like it anywhere. And as a guy who believes in the importance of government's role in creating equal opportunity, I want government to be as efficient as possible. I want it to run as well as I run my business and you run yours. But that means we need to focus on the real problems, and welfare fraud just isn't it.
Phil: I'll tell you what. If after five years this program isn't finding substantially more fraud, I will join you in calling the program a waste of money. But until then, let them do their work.
Ethan: Fine. But if it isn't finding more fraud, I want you to join me in calling for an equal enhancement of funds to find tax cheats and corporate welfare frauds who claim they create jobs but never do.
Phil: Deal.

Dec. 6, 2007
USCIRF TESTIMONY by COMMISSIONER LEONARD LEO
Congresswoman Sanchez, members of the Human Rights Caucus, thank you for holding this hearing and for inviting us to testify. The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom sent a delegation to Vietnam Oct. 23-Nov. 2, 2007. We are pleased to have this opportunity to share with you some of our observations.
Vietnam's overall human rights record remains very poor and deteriorated in the last year. The government of Vietnam has moved decisively to repress challenges to its authority. Dozens of legal and political reform advocates, free speech activists, labor unionists, and independent religious leaders and religious freedom advocates have been arrested, placed under home detention or surveillance, threatened, intimidated, and harassed.
The UN Human Rights Committee in 2002 criticized Vietnam's implementation of its international human rights obligations under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. The government has arbitrarily arrested and sentenced to jail terms individuals who express views and write about human rights and democracy-and the freedoms required to fulfill them.
In addition, the government views peaceful expression or demonstrations for greater religious freedom-including advocating for legal and political reforms needed to ensure it-as challenges to its authority.
These are serious problems that complicate U.S.-Vietnamese relations. We believe it is in the long-term interests of both countries to pursue a relationship built on both prosperity and the rule of law, religious freedom, and related human rights-which President Bush called "the non-negotiable demands of human liberty."
Our concern to advance religious freedom and other human rights in Vietnam is not an American ideal. It is a universal concern, desired by millions of Vietnamese citizens, and is part of Vietnam's international obligations.
Current Religious Freedom Conditions:
Here is an assessment of current conditions of freedom of thought, conscience, and religion or belief in Vietnam.
First, religious freedom conditions in Vietnam have improved since 2004. Ambassador Hanford has devoted considerable effort to advance religious freedom to become a high priority in U.S.-Vietnamese relations. The government of Vietnam engaged itself to take measures to improve religious freedom concerns and legal issues, and release selected prisoners. There has been noticeable progress.
The zone of toleration for religious worship has greatly expanded for most of Vietnam's religious communities. Among ethnic minority Protestants, closed churches have opened and forced renunciations of faith have been greatly reduced. More Vietnamese are practicing religion than ever before, and the Vietnamese government realizes that it can no longer fully repress the demands of its people for the freedom to manifest and express freedom of religion individually or in community with others.
But the Commission remains skeptical of current conditions, particularly in the context of Vietnam's recent repression of peaceful political and religious dissent. While we believe that many religious freedom conditions are moving in the right direction, they are not yet where they need to be-particularly when compared to Vietnam's international obligations to protect the freedom of thought, conscience, and religion or belief.
There remain serious and systematic problems that darken the religious freedom picture. Let me briefly sketch out three areas of concern:
I.) Problems in Provincial Areas
First, it is clear that in some areas of the country provincial authorities are using their authority to restrict and abuse religious freedom. Central government authorities either ignore these problems or have not yet done enough to curtail them.
In Dak Lak province, we met with one "house church" Protestant pastor who told us how government authorities had threatened to remove his residency permit, brought lawsuits against him to confiscate his property, harassed and threatened his congregation until many of them left, and then put a sign up at the end of the road prohibiting entrance to a "secret military area." He said that 14 other congregations affiliated with him had experienced similar problems.
Vietnam requires all religious groups to apply for legal recognition. Many hundreds of applications for legal recognition are either ignored or denied-leaving the congregations vulnerable and technically illegal. One Protestant pastor told us that after his application was denied police harassment increased, he was interrogated and briefly detained.
These problems are particularly acute in the Northwest provinces among the Hmong Protestants, but there many similar cases in the Central Highlands, Mekong Delta, and Central Coast regions. In the Northwest provinces, police have used violence, fines, and harassment to stop ethnic Protestants from legally registering their congregations.
Even when churches are granted legal approval, there remain problems, as their registration sometimes limits them to certain "specific activities." This enables government officials to use the registration process to monitor and control religious activities. "They allow us to worship on Sundays," said one Protestant leader, "but they want to stop us from growing."
There are other issues in the provinces that are serious and require immediate attention from officials in Hanoi. In the Central Highlands and Central Coast, local officials have confiscated the land of ethnic minority Protestants. In the Central Highlands, provincial officials have been trained to deny medical, educational, financial and other government services to "religious families" or to deny them to the families of recent converts.
And, in the most serious recent case, police in Phu Yen province severely beat a young Protestant man who refused to renounce his faith. His name was Y Het. Provincial officials reportedly forced this man, injured and illiterate, to put his thumbprint on a document stating he was beaten in a drunken brawl. Y Het died of internal injuries received in police custody on March 23, 2007.
The Commission met with religious affairs and public security officials in Hanoi. They assured us that problems in the provinces do not reflect central government policy. We pressed officials in Hanoi to train and, as needed, punish local and provincial officials who restricted or abused religious freedom. We fully expect them to address problems in the provincial areas as they promised. We are taking a wait-and-see attitude.
II.) Buddhist Groups Face Harassment & Abuses
The second area of concern regards the Vietnamese government's harassment and detentions of members of religious groups that seek independence or autonomy from government control. This is particularly true of the Unified Buddhist Church of Vietnam (UBCV), some Hoa Hao and Cao Dai groups, as well as Khmer Buddhists.
During our trip we met with the Venerable Thich Quang Do and other leaders of the UBCV. UBCV leaders are detained under "pagoda arrest" orders. Monks and nuns who seek advice from recognized UBCV leaders are harassed or publicly "denounced." Youth, family, and charitable activities of the UBCV are actively banned.
Just last week, UBCV monk Thich Thien Mien, who formed an association of former political and religious prisoners following his release in 2005 after 26 years in prison, was detained by police during a meeting he was holding with several other UBCV leaders.
The UBCV, along with some Hoa Hao and Cao Dai Buddhists groups, want to organize independently of government-approved Buddhist religious organizations. They want to worship without harassment, choose and educate their own leaders, and carry out humanitarian and charitable works.
The Vietnamese government rightly recognizes differences among Protestant denominations and allows them to organize and carry out legal operations. But, among the Buddhists, peaceful demands for independence are treated as a threat to government control. In addition, peaceful expression of views or demonstrations for greater religious freedom-and the legal and political reforms needed to ensure it-are treated as a challenge to the government's authority.
This is the reason why, in October, Vietnamese President Triet threatened publicly that he would arrest the Venerable Thich Quang Do; the reason why 12 other UBCV leaders remain under some form of "pagoda detention"; and why up to 12 Hoa Hao have been arrested in recent years, including four last year for staging a peaceful hunger strike protesting past previous arrests;. It is why five Cao Dai remain in prison for distributing pamphlet's critical of the Vietnamese government's restrictions on some Cao Dai activities, and why five Khmer Buddhist monks are in prison for organizing peaceful demonstrations to protest restrictions on ordination and language training in Soc Trang province.
These actions are indefensible: the government of Vietnam cannot repress religious freedom because it fears a loss of authority. The limits are set out in Article 18 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which Vietnam has ratified.
III.) Prisoners of Concern
Third, and last, the State Department 2007 IRF report claims that there are no longer any "prisoners of concern," that is, what the State Department considers as religious prisoners, in Vietnam. Such a statement fails to take into consideration the prisoners mentioned above. It also does not take into account those who, motivated by their religion and conscience, express views or organize in support of legal or political reforms required to ensure religious freedom, or those who monitor freedom of religion and have been punished for that, or those who circulate their findings. Prisoners such as Fr. Nguyen Van Ly, Nguyen Van Dai, and Le Thi Cong Nhan, for example, were charged under vague national security laws for the peaceful expression of universally guaranteed rights to freedom of association, speech, assembly, and the freedom of thought, conscience, and religion.
The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom concludes that all three should be "prisoners of concern" when the State Department makes its CPC status determination. The State Department CPC decisions are currently pending and an announcement on them will be made in the next several months. The Commission urges the Department of State to seek the immediate and unconditional release of these three prisoners.
We were allowed to meet Dai and Cong Nhan in prison outside Hanoi. After examining the cases of these two courageous individuals, we conclude that they were imprisoned for exercising universally guaranteed rights and freedoms. Lawyer Dai seems to have been targeted specifically for his advocacy and reporting on religious freedom conditions. We were gravely disappointed that the recent Appeals Court decision did not reverse their sentences and release them from prison.
The Commission will continue to seek the immediate and unconditional release of both Nguyen Van Dai and Le Thi Cong Nhan, and call for the release of all Vietnamese human rights defenders who have been jailed under similar circumstances. We believe their peaceful monitoring of and advocacy for political reform, religious freedom, and other human rights strengthens rather than threatens the Vietnamese state. This is essential for religious freedom protections to fully take root.
The U.S. Government and its officials must continue to speak with a single, strong voice on human rights, including religious freedom. We must continue to convey to senior Vietnamese leaders that religious freedom is a top priority to us, that it is a critical issue in our bilateral relationship, and that the central Government must take concerted action to end abuses and harassment of religious believers.
We must continue to make clear that it is incumbent on the leaders of Vietnam to take their country on the path towards openness, prosperity, and freedom. Better U.S.-Vietnamese relations depend on it.
The U.S. Congress has an important role to play in setting the agenda for future U.S.-Vietnam relations. The Commission looks forward to meeting with all members of the Congressional Human Rights Caucus to share our perspective and recommendations for improving religious freedom and related human rights in Vietnam.

This recent piece by the veteran sculptor Robert Grosvenor is now in his solo show now at Paula Cooper Gallery in New York. Yesterday in this space, I wrote about the sheer, indomitable painterly skill of Joan Mitchell. Today, it's a matter of the sheer sculptural authority of Grosvenor. I'm not saying that I'm in favor of "traditional artistic values ," but it is impressive when you see how totally some older artists learned to understand and command their media. That doesn't make Grosvenor a better artist than his younger contemporaries, but it does mean that he's more likely to make coherent, excellent sculpture – as he has for his show at Cooper.

NFL Superstar Aldon Smith -- CHARGED FOR ASSAULT WEAPONS ... Stemming from Violent 2012 House Party
NFL Superstar Aldon Smith CHARGED FOR ASSAULT WEAPONS Stemming from Violent 2012 House Party
San Francisco 49ers superstar Aldon Smith has reportedly been hit with 3 felony charges for possession of ASSAULT WEAPONS ... stemming from a shooting at his home back in 2012.
Smith -- who's currently in rehab following a DUI last month -- was stabbed at a party at the NFL star's 8,000 square foot home in San Jose, CA. Two other people were shot that night.
The identity of the shooter is unknown -- but officials do say there were several guns found in Smith's home, including 3 kinds of assault rifles (below) which are illegal in California ... and an unregistered .45 handgun.
According to cops, Smith fired the handgun into the air several times during the party, but did not hit anyone. They say the unknown shooter later used the same handgun.
Authorities also say they found several magazines of ammunition in Smith's bedroom.
Just two weeks ago, the two alleged shooting victims filed lawsuits against Aldon -- but never accused the football player of firing the shots that struck them that night.

Reds non-tendered catcher Miguel Perez.
Perez was added to the 40-man roster too early a couple of years ago, and he never justified the spot while compiling some ugly numbers in the minors. He's just 23 and he's a fine defender, but he's a future backup at best and he has a long way to go.

The Sarasota Association of Realtors, after planning a new headquarters since the 1980s, will get one in April
The group founded to help real estate buyers move into new homes is itself preparing to relocate for the first time in more than three decades.
By April, the Sarasota Association of Realtors will complete a new headquarters on Cattlemen Road at the entrance to the Colonial Oaks neighborhood.
The $2.57 million project will increase the organization's meeting space, unite offices under one roof and expand parking and seating capacity for events. SAR officials believe their timing couldn't be better.
The new location is poised to open in the heart of the busy spring buying season, in what has been projected by many industry experts and participants to be the best year for residential real estate in Southwest Florida since the market imploded in 2006.
But that may be a happy coincidence.
"This is something we have been planning since the 1980s," said Roger Piro, president of the association. "We had tried several other times and found other locations, but for some reason or another it just never worked out for us."
To build its new facility, the association in June bought three acres of land for $1.35 from a corporation controlled by Bradenton developer David S. McNabb. As part of the deal, McNabb acquired SAR's current property, at 3590 S. Tuttle Ave., for $1.2 million. Tuttle Avenue had been the Realtor group's corporate home for 34 years.
McNabb will continue to be the group's landlord until the move in April is complete. He also retained a parcel adjacent to the association's new site where he plans to develop single-family homes.
The 15,000-square-foot SAR building is being designed to become LEED certified, a designation awarded to only the most environmentally friendly projects.
It also will bring the organization's three offices on its Tuttle campus -- totaling about 12,500 square feet -- under one roof. A central foyer will divide the new meeting and office space.
Perhaps most importantly to members, the new headquarters will more than double their parking capacity, from 85 spaces to about 200. Parking in recent years has been a significant problem for the association, preventing it from filling its 140-seat auditorium and limiting the events it could plan, said Kathy Roberts, the group's chief executive.
The location also is more accessible for SAR's 3,328 Realtor members and its 305 business partners, Roberts said.
"That's part of the attraction to the new location," she said. "It's close to Interstate 75 and other major roadways, so members in other parts of the city and county will have easier access."
Local builder Halfacre Construction Co. is the lead contractor on the job, with most of the subcontractors also based in the Sarasota and Manatee area, Roberts said.
Sensing long ago that a move would be needed, the association created a special building fund in the 1980s that allowed it to pay for the new headquarters without obtaining a mortgage or raising dues.
The project sparked initial concerns from many homeowners in the Colonial Oaks subdivision, who feared hundreds of Realtors would use their quiet residential neighborhood as a cut through to go to meetings. The opposition largely subsided when Sarasota County scrapped a proposed entrance off Colonial Oaks Boulevard, leaving Cattlemen as the only access point.
McNabb, who acquired the group's 1.8-acre Tuttle Avenue property, did not return calls seeking comment. The White Oak Development Ltd. owner previously told the Herald-Tribune he was unsure of his plans for the site, but one option he was considering was a mix of office space and condos.
"It has a beautiful, campus-like feel, with trees and boardwalks," McNabb said of the property when the deal was first announced. "I have always liked it."

When Stacey Ilyse sent me this wedding a few weeks ago, I totally feel in love with Lauren's dress and the low-key feeling surrounding the day…I'll let Stacey tell you the rest.
They are both very low key, quiet people who really just wanted an evening of spending time with their closest family and friends. There was no bridal party, Lauren got ready at the Tribeca Grand Hotel, and had her sister, 2 of her closest girlfriends "the unofficial bridesmaids" with her, one of whom did her makeup, and her long time hair stylist spend the morning with her getting ready.
The car service that was hired for the day never made it to the hotel, so we just all jumped in a cab and made our way uptown for the ceremony… following the ceremony Lauren and Darryl loved the idea of the NYC cab, so we took one back downtown to Tribeca, to The Harrison, where they had approx 70 guests, for a lovely night of eating amazing food and dancing.
The best part about having their reception downtown was getting to take advantage of the amazing Tribeca hardscape, with all the cobblestone, and graffiti alleys we found.
Shoes: Giuseppe Zanotti
Dress: Amsale – very cool dress that turned into a short cocktail looking dress as well just by taking apart the skirt.
Make up: best friend
Getting ready: Tribeca Grand Hotel
Photographer: Stacey Ilyse Photography
Location: The Harrison, Tribeca NYC
Ceremony: UWS
Flowers: simple bouquet of peonies as well as 1 peony for her hair as well. And on the tables.
Dress is long….
…now its short!
