Bad smell in the room and not much space
the hotel staff couln't have been more helpful organised tickets, sightseeing and limoes
Furniture, base boards and behind be head boards should be thoroughly dusted particularly when you have guest who require hypoallergenic accomodations.
Friendliness, location.
The rooms are clean and beautifully decorated. The staff are professional. We enjoyed every minute of our stay.
I found a two week old plane ticket under the bed. I wanted a better view of the city. I would of paid extra for it. I guess it's my own fault. Welcome to New York.
The location was excellent. Walking distance to everything.staff were helpful.
Door staff excellent !
No kettle to boil water for tea drinking female restaurant staff rude and disinterested
Stayed here for two nights and have to say that could not fault this hotel the from the bell boys to the staff in the front desk all were very helpful. We arrived early think about 11am and rooms not ready till 3pm which is fine but got a call from the hotel at 11.30am to say room was not ready to check in excellent service. The room was very clean and was big and combatable. It is in the heart of time square and can be noisy at times but you are at the center of the action. This hotel is well worth a visit.
Only down side is the price for the wifi
Didn't have the room that I was confirmed & had requested.
I like the good housekeeping and the friendly staff,
The staff were always on hand to help. This would definitely be a number one option for our next visit....
Location Good room size for NYC Excellent service Fast check-in/out Very clean
- House keeping - Dust and mold everywhere in the room - Water leaking in the bathroom and from the refrigerator. - Carpet has bad smell - Door men serve only who give them more money. - I asked for a taxi and the door men only stop and call the taxi who give them commission. - I stayed at this hotel two years ago and I liked my stay at that time. Even though the hotel is relatively new, it is deteriorating very fast and it looks like an old one. It seams that hotel management need to be changed. I will not stay at this hotel again.
Location wa amazing, beds v comfy, rooms were large and we were given free wifi as members of the rewards club(which is free to join)
No room in the fridge for our purchases, if you removed anything from te minibar for more than 10 seconds you were charged for it
Very good location in mid Manahattan, close to the tourist attractions, theatre's, shops and the river. Very nice room with great views of the city.
staff not helpfull,
Almost everything... 98% perfection... had an absolutely fab time.!!!!!
Only complaint, we were not offered help from the door men on arrival.
Room was fantastic and quiet even for the 5th floor. Bed very comfortable and clean and tidy. Location was brilliant and really handy to get to all the attractions.
Doorman was very nice but the reception staff were miserable and looked like they didn't want to be there. If the room wasn't nice we would have left!
The room was sparklingly clean. Great thread count sheets and soft duvet. Shower was beyond excellent with the extras. TV when couldn't figure out was handled by maintenance within a half hour.
Left old food on carts outside of people's rooms too long. Wouldn't let you do a la carte for the breakfast if you just wanted fruit for instance.
location, cleanliness internet speed even though it is paid
staff should be more helpful, with a smile ,many hotel staff guys in the corridor just blocking the way without helping any
Size of the room & bathroom, comfortable bed, the concierge Adrian was very helpful
That there was no mirrors outside of the bathroom, no room in the fridge to keep water, yoghurt....
Location .
1. Some reception staff are not friendly . 2. Some towels in the room torn and dirty . 3. Blinds containing patches of oil . 4. T V Remote control didnt work well .

All other reports can be searched under the 'MedSun reports' menu pane. Note: the two month delay is due to quality control and follow-up.
Type: Hemodynamic Monitor System
Manufacturer: McKesson Information Solutions LLC, McKesson Israel LTD
Brand: Horizon Cardiology
Cat #: CE-TCSHEM003
Patient was brought to cath lab for emergent temporary pacemaker. Monitor technician initiated the Horizon cardiology program for monitoring the patient and documenting the case. System failed to initialize. An error message appeared "Internal". IS was contacted, but they were unable to resolve issue. McKesson support was also contacted for assistance.

Manufacturer: Arrow Internation
Brand: Fiberoptix
Model#: IAB-05840-LWS
Lot #: MF0042502
Cat #: IAB-05840-LWS
Patient needed an intra-aortic balloon. The balloon was then prepped and inserted into the femoral artery through the provided arterial sheath with a side arm. The balloon had a lot of resistance going through the provided sheath. The physician attempted to remove the balloon from the sheath, but the balloon had been damaged beyond use. The balloon was unable to be removed from the sheath, so the balloon catheter was removed along with the sheath. A second balloon was prepped. The package comes with two different sheaths and the other sheath with no side arm was used for balloon placement without any further complications. The patient had no apparent injury.
Manufacturer provided RGA# for product return evaluation and provided shipping container.
Type: Monitor System, Telemetry
Manufacturer: GE Healthcare
Brand: Apexpro
Other #: Software 5.1
Patient had a 12 beat run of Vtach which did not alarm on the monitoring system. The event was observed by the Cardiac Arrhythmia Technician. The physician was notified, labs drawn, and treatment administered as ordered without further incident.
Manufacturer response: GE is responsive and analyzing strips. Conference call planned.
Type: System, Thermal Regulating
Manufacturer: Cincinnati SubZero
Brand: Blanketrol Ii
Infant in NICU receiving hypothermia therapy to minimize brain injury. Infant noted to have a core temperature of less than the expected 33.5°C. Infant was assessed. Cooling blanket was assessed and found to be set at "5°C Manual." It had not been switched to "33.5°C Automatic." Infant's core temperature dropped to 30°C. She was re-warmed after blanket was reset to "33.5°C Automatic." Infant's heart rate decreased to 69 bpm, no dysrhythmias were noted.
While reviewing instruction manual for setup instructions, it was noted that the need to switch from "5°C Manual" to "33.5° C Automatic" was not written clearly.
Type: Lead, Defibrillation
Manufacturer: Medtronic, Inc.
Brand: Sprint Fidelis
Model #: 6949-65cm
The patient called the office stating that his ICD was beeping, advised patient to send in a Carelink transmission which showed noise on the RV lead indicating a possible fracture of the lead. The patient was then advised to come into the office. The patient was scheduled for an explant two days later. The lead was explanted and a new lead implanted. The patient did really well.
Health Professional's Impression
The fracture in the lead caused the ICD device to think pt was having or have had some ventricular arrhythimas leading to a possible shock from the device.
Comment from FDA: Physician practices are now partnering with the MedSun program. This report was received from a physician's practice.

Lot #: 0908104
Cat #: 1741-003
Some of ConMed Neotrode II neonatal/Pediatric ECG Electrodes have failed out of the packaging. Over a month period our facility has reported 36 failures on 9 different lot numbers and manufacturing dates. The staff are reporting poor ECG signals or no signal and lots of artifact. The problem was identified by doing an x-ray of some of the electrodes and our Clinical Engineering staff using their meters to perform continuity tests. Defective electrodes can't be identified visually. Failure point of the electrode is where the patch is connected to wire, a failure to bond or weld correctly. In talking to ConMed about this problem, they informed us they have researched this problem and have determined that the failure is due to a malfunction of a machine that assembles these electrodes. We were informed the machine was repaired and is functioning properly. Product manufactured before 05/03/2010 could be problematic, which is consistent with our findings of multiple lot number and manufacturer dates. The manufacturer is in process of replacing problematic product. The affected product was returned to ConMed. All product was returned and all lot numbers. Our facility has return a total of 13 unopened cases, and around 7 open cases of product that was pulled back from departments when new product was delivered here at our facility. ConMed is process of replacing all stock at all 9 hospitals in our corporation.
Health Professional's Impression
Multiple failures, lots of frustration from staff, before finding product that would work correctly. Sometime opening six packages before find a good set of ECG lead wires.
Manufacturer response for Neonatal / Pediatric ECG Electrode Set, Neotrode II
Conmed has investigated the recent situation (based on recent complaints) and has determined that there is no reason (from a quality /safety perspective) to have product returned from the field. The situation appears to be intermittent and infrequent (with no risk to the patient and or/ clinicians). We have performed all of the necessary steps to ensure that we are providing the most appropriate response (in regards to federal requirements and regulations). As a proactive step to ensure performance of our products, we implemented additional tests and inspections throughout the manufacturing process (implemented in early May).
Type: Calculator/data Processing Module, For Clinical Use;
Manufacturer: Cerner
Brand: Bridge Specimen Collection System
Other #: Zebra label printer
Specimen label from the Bridge Specimen Collection System printed label with Patient A and CPI, but with a bar coded accession number and test that belonged to a previously printed Patient B. The laboratory automation line caught and rejected the erroneous specimen label and no erroneous results were reported on the either patient.
Manufacturer response for Cerner's Bridge Specimen Collection system:
Cerner suggested a patch that "cleans up" label files when ever the application is "abruptly interrupted", such as loss of wireless connectivity, etc. They believe this will prevent the "incomplete label record" from "Patient A" from ever being available for "Patient B". We moved that code into production; no new incidents have been reported.
Type: Bipolar Forceps
Manufacturer: Ascent
Brand: Pks Cutting Forceps
Model#: 920005PK
Lot #: 1063059
Other #: 5 mm diameter
A reprocessed Ascent handpiece did not function as the doctor expected it to when engaged. The device was expected to cauterize and then cut, but it did not cut. The device was sent to Ascent, the reprocessor, and they found fault with the handling of this device and they are correcting their process. All similar product was returned to Ascent.
Health Professional's Impression
If it did not cauterize and then cut, there would be potential blood loss and delay of surgery for device replacement.
Type: Newborn Heel Incision Device
Manufacturer: INTERNATIONAL TECHNIDYNE CORP.
Brand: Tenderfoot
Lot #: BB062
Other #: 1.0mm length 2.5mm
The nurse was performing a heel stick on an infant. She opened the Tenderfoot device and removed the safety lock. The infant's heel had been prepped. The RN placed the device on the heel and activated it by pushing the slide bar. Normally, the device would auto-lance the infant's heel. However, in this instance, the device split open and the lancing device came out of the side instead of at the opening in the bottom of the device. The infant and RN were not hurt. However, had the RN been holding the device in a different way, the RN could have been cut by the lancet. The RN obtained another device and drew the infant's blood. The RN's on the unit have not had this experience with this type of device before. All are experienced users. Prior to using the device, there was no indication that the device would fail or was faulty in any way. No unusual or excessive force/pressure was applied to the device.
Health Professional's Impression
Staff does not know why the device failed or what could have caused it to do so.
Manufacturer response for Tenderfoot Heel Incision Device
We are awaiting instructions to return the device to the manufacturer for their investigation and analysis.
Type: System, Ablation, Microwave
Manufacturer: Medwaves
Brand: Medwaves Microwave Generator
Model#: MWG881
During a tumor ablation, the microwave antenna treatment delivered a lower energy than what was displayed on screen. Patient was not harmed but required a repeat treatment.
Type: Catheter, Implanted, Port
Manufacturer: AngioDynamics
Brand: Vortex Mp Port
Model#: Vortex MP-P5SAT
Lot #: 504544
During the procedure to implant Vortex MP Port (size 5 French) in the chest, and with very little manipulation of the catheter, the catheter broke off at the junction of the metal lock. The rest of the catheter completely separated. This is the second time within the last couple of months that we have seen this kind of failure. In this case, the catheter was pre-attached. The catheter broke, and upon inspection the catheter was very brittle, and easy to break with very little force. The risk is if it went undetected and/or broke off after implant, then it could cause catheter embolization.
Type: Catheter, Picc
Manufacturer: Becton Dickinson
Brand: Bd 2. 6French
Model#: unk
Lot #: 7114730, 9113195, 9063169,
Cat #: 384466
Other #: lot number 9063769
A 2.6 French dual lumen BD catheter was placed. Eight days later the catheter was noted to have leakage from the blue port at the bifurcation, but then stopped. Two days later at noontime, the blue port again was noted to be leaking at the bifurcation. The infant was also noted to be febrile and had an elevated white count. After extensive team discussion, the decision was made to clamp off the blue port and use as a single lumen. Later on that day at 1600, the red port was noted to be leaking. A decision was made to remove line. Patient currently has a single lumen broviac used for parental nutrition/intralipids, dopamine, opioid infusion, and has an 8 French left internal jugular hemodialysis catheter. Additional access was required for triple antimicrobial coverage and sedation. After eight attempts, a peripheral IV was placed in the right foot. There have been recent incidences of leaking of BD dual lumen catheters elsewhere in the hospital over the past few months for which a practice alert had been sent. At that time NICU CNS checked all lot numbers in unit and confirmed lot numbers were not included in those reported as defective. A decision was made not to remove given that there was no available replacement of appropriate size.
Remove BD dual lumen catheters from NICU supply, both 2.6 and 3.5 French. Continue search for appropriate alternative product. Discuss at NICU meeting.

Type: Catheter, Picc, Stylet
Manufacturer: Bard Access Systems, Inc
Brand: 5Fr Powerpicc With Sherlock Tip Location System (Tls) Stylet
Lot #: REUA1183
A female patient was admitted with respiratory and cardiac issues. A PICC (peripherally inserted central line) was inserted, and a routine post insertion chest film revealed what appeared to be a 6 cm wire fragment in her axilla vein. The wire fragment is presumed to be from the tip of the stylet wire used to insert the catheter. An interventional radiologist physician removed the wire fragment without difficulty.
Device 1:
Type: Bed, Ac-powered
Manufacturer: KCI USA, Inc.
Brand: Barimaxx Ii Bed With Maxxair Ets Mattress Replacement
Device 2:
Type: Mattress, Air Flotation
Manufacturer: KCI USA, Inc.
Brand: Maxxair Ets Mattress
We have had 2 safety events of airway compromise related to the use of the KCI BariMaxx II bed with the MaxxAir ETS Mattress Replacement System. The mattress is not supported by a battery back up and when the bed was unplugged for transport the mattress deflated causing a shift in the patient's position in bed. This shift in patient position resulted in mechanical compromise of the airway.
Health Professional's Impression
The lack of a battery back up to maintain mattress inflation resulted in deflation of the mattress to the 3 inch foam surface below, causing a shift in position resulting in airway compromise.
Device 1:
Type: Software, Documentation And Charting
Manufacturer: McKesson Information Solutions, LLC
Brand: Horizon Clinicals
Other #: Horizon Clinicals Version 10.1.1.2 with HED Version .225
Device 2:
Type: Physiological Monitor, Database Server
Manufacturer: Philips Medical Systems
Brand: Intellivue
Model#: M3154
Cat #: Software Version, K.00.27
Other #: Other servers running versions E.01.26 to K.00.27 - all with same problem
This event is not patient specific, rather it is a software interaction problem involving Philips Intelliview Patient Monitor System and McKesson Horizon Clinical Charting System. Issue is that readings of NIBP do not always chart the correct NIPB value when the Horizon Clinical application is set to filter or chart the value every 15, 30, 60, etc. minutes.
Our problem is that the NIBP value that shows up in McKesson Horizon Clinicals is the value from a measurement taken 15 minutes earlier.
Example: Clinician starts an NIBP reading after setting the Philips Intelleview Monitor (in this case an MP70) to take an NIBP measurement every 15 minutes. The Clinician pushing the NIBP start button at 11:55. The Intelliview monitor starts the inflation of the cuff, then starts deflating, then displays the value. The time now is 11:57. At 12:00 McKesson Horizon Clinicals performs a query and receives the NIBP value. Everything is good, values are correct.
The problem now starts. The Philips Intelliview monitor will, over time, round up the NIBP start time to the quarter hour (this is a built in feature of the software the user cannot disable). So for example, an hour later, instead of the NIBP starting at say 12:55, it will now start the NIBP measurement at 1:00. Also at 1:00, McKesson Horizon Clinicals is set to querying for NIBP data from Philips which at this exact point in time has not completed the NIBP measurement and thus still has the value from the 12:45 NIBP measurement. The NIBP measurement starts at the quarter hour but does not have a value until the measurement has completed which might take anywhere from 45 seconds to 3 minutes depending on if the monitor has to retry 2 or 3 times, etc.
In critical care areas patients are monitored closely for the efficacy of medication administration, especially vasoactive drugs. A delayed reading of blood pressure could lead the bedside nurse to adjust the dosage of medication incorrectly, leading to possible serious injury or even death.
Our Biomed dept is unable to find a solution to the DAS problem working with either manufacturer, Philips and McKesson. The following is from an e-mail communication with Philips Support:
Customer has concerns about the way Philips system sends NIBP data via HL7 to McKesson charting system.
He has a large server network with 5 DBS and 1 Patient Link with MPx monitors. The MPx monitors are configured for auto NIBP measurements every 15 minutes. The McKesson system queries the DBS or PL once every minute, however it applies a filter to the NIBP data so that the nurses view it on the charting system only in 15 minute intervals.
The problem is the MPx monitor starts the NIBP clock when the pump starts, but it may sometimes take a minute or two to actually get a reading (due to patient-related or application issues). During that time McKesson would have queried for the data and received it but may not be able to display in the nurses 15 minute view because of that 1-2 minute lag.
As a workaround, the customer has disabled the external time source at the master DBS and has manually offset the time 1-2 minutes ahead at the master DBS to compensate for the time discrepancy of the NIBP measurements.
The customer is suggesting that the MPx monitor be modified so that once it detects an active HL7 connection, it should start the NIBP pump 1-2 minutes earlier so that the data is not missed on the display view at the McKesson charting system.
The customer has also received feedback from customer support at other non-Philips sites that (another) vendor's monitors do not have this problem because they allow you to offset the NIBP start time a little bit.
Type: Thermometer Probe Covers
Manufacturer: Welch Allyn, Inc.
Brand: Welch Allyn Probe Covers
Lot #: 0107 6
Cat #: 05031
Other #: 706486-C
The RN noticed that the individual box of thermometer probe covers do not indicate whether or not there is latex present in the product. If preparing a room for a patient with a latex allergy, the staff would not know if the covers had latex in them unless they called Central Stores. The large container that the boxes are delivered in indicates that there is no latex in the product, but the end user has no way of knowing this from the information that is printed on the individual containers. This was brought to the attention of the manufacturer. Staff suggest that a label indicating 'no latex' or 'latex free' be printed on the individual probe cover boxes.
Health Professional's Impression
the manufacturer only prints 'latex free' on the large shipping box, not on each individual product box.
Manufacturer response for thermometer probe covers, Welch Allyn probe covers
We recommended to the manufacturer that they consider labeling each individual box with the phrase 'latex free'.

Test is used to determine clotting time prior to, during, and immediately after cardiac bypass. Test is also used during carotid vascular surgery. It measures clotting time to help clinicians know how much heparin to give pt's to prevent clotting while blood flow is stopped or impeded by surgery. Clinicians have been getting widely variant results. When immediately repeated, results significantly different. At times, result is higher after no heparin, and at times, result does not increase with heparin as it should. Staff have been running two machines side by side and/or performed tests more frequently to try to treat the patient, but are unsure of the accuracy of their results. Staff has experienced problems since March. The problem was recently brought to attention of Risk Mgt. The manufacturer is aware and has already come in to observe practice. The mfr made recommendations for change in practice with anesthetists to align with what perfusionists were doing. Staff still experiencing variant results after adjusting testing procedure. The company has taken one of three machines back for evaluation, and provided one loaner. Of the remaining two machines that remain in house the staff has experienced variant results on both machines. They do not record the serial # of the machine, so detailed incidents can not be attributed to each specific machine. Details of several incidents are being faxed to provide examples of what is happening.

Type: Wound Culture Swab & Medium
Manufacturer: Remel
Brand: Bactiswab
Lot #: 862518
Cat #: 12100
As the nurse crushed the culture medium vial, a sharp object came through the plastic tube that caused the nurse to cut his finger.
Device 1:
Type: Agent, Injectable, Embolic
Manufacturer: Micro Therapeutics, Inc. Dba Ev3 Neurovascular
Brand: Onyx 18
Lot #: 8333559
Device 2:
Type: Catheter, Continuous Flush
Manufacturer: Micro Therapeutics, Inc. Dba Ev3 Neurovascular
Brand: Marathon
Lot #: 7489723
Other #: Microdelivery Marathon catheter,1.5F/013 inchX165 cmX25cm
During Arterio-Venous Malformation (AVM) procedure, a microcatheter was used and Onyx 18 was injected in to the AVM. Upon attempt to remove the catheter, the Onyx adhered to the microcatheter and a piece of the microcatheter had to be broken off to get the catheter out. Approximately 12cm of the catheter was retained in the patient. It is estimated that the amount of Onyx reflux was approximately 1cm. Vasospasm is not thought to have contributed to the event. The patient experienced no complications in the immediate post procedure period, but on the following morning, did experience a syncopal event during ambulation. The patient then underwent infusion of thrombolytics, CT scan showed a possible right posterior intracerebral (IC) cerebrovascular accident (CVA). By the second day, post procedure, the patient had recovered full strength and was discharged home several days later. There are no plans to have the retained catheter surgically excised.
Type: Occular Cannula And Plug
Manufacturer: Alcon Research, LTD
Brand: Alcon Total Plus 23ga Vvtrectomy Pak
Lot #: 9023848X-2009-07
Cat #: 8065750828
The patient was undergoing eye surgery. Normally during this kind of case, cannulas are inserted into the eye and are capped with plugs to maintain gas inflation of the eye. In this case, the plugs did not fit in the cannulas--they were too big. This is unusual, particularly since the cannulas and plugs all come together in one kit. The patient was not harmed by this event; however, the physician was quite frustrated. None of the staff involved in the event have ever had this experience before. Another kit from the same manufacturer and reference number was obtained and used for the case. The kit which contained plugs that did not fit the cannulas was saved and the rep was contacted. OR staff are coordinating the return of the device to the manufacturer.
Health Professional's Impression
The physician and staff believe that either the wrong size plugs or wrong size cannulas were placed into the same kit.
Manufacturer response for occular cannula and plug, Alcon Total Plus 23ga vitrectomy pak
OR staff called the rep on the day of the event. No further follow up has been received as of the filing of this report.
Type: Warm Pack
Manufacturer: Hospital Marketing Services, Co., Inc
Brand: Novation
Model#: V6001-047
Lot #: 7981-3
The nurse was attempting to activate a heat pack for her patient. She squeezed the bag to pop the inner chamber and get the pack warming. However, the heat pack didn't warm up. She tried three--all with the same result. On the fourth try, she had one that did get warm. All four packs were from the same manufacturer, model and lot numbers. All of the heat packs are stored in the same area. We have seen this problem before. In the past, the manufacturer found a pin-hole size opening in the inner pouch. Staff suspect that this may be the cause for these packs not heating up.
We are awaiting the manufacturer's response. We will return the device to them for their investigation/analysis.

"They don't say Latin@, so I guess that means White?" - race and representation in ABC's "Once Upon A Time"
First, a small request: If race and representation in film, television, and sci-fi/fantasy don't matter to you, please be courteous and allow those of us who care about this topic to discuss it free from derailing.
It's no secret that I have a thing for Regina Mills/The Evil Queen of ABC's Once Upon A Time. I happen to know that Lana Parrilla, the actress who plays her, is Puerto Rican/Italian and grew up in Brooklyn. I also know that, in the context of the show, the characters are meant to be read as "raceless" (in other words, default to White). I wrote about this on Ars Marginal, but there's something that makes my brain itch when I see people say something to the effect of, "Sure, the actress is Latin@, but I'm still going to interpret this character as White."
I cannot put my finger on this, but it feels really wrong. Can someone help me out here?
If the character has no defined race, but the actor/actress is something other than white, but people still default the character as white, I think it's a scary reflection on just how white/western-dominated this society is. It's like they're taking the idea of a race-less society to make everyone white by default, as if that's the only way you can be accepted/have power as a person of color. It's white-washing, because obviously, white people's cultures are the only ones capable of creating a "race-less" society.
The show also doesn't go out of its way to make her racially ambiguous. She's very fair skinned, doesn't have a "foreign-sounding" name, and she speaks English at a native speaker's level. In addition, she has power, both as the Evil Queen and as Mayor Mills, thus continuing the correlation between power and whiteness.

Nazareth College is proud to announce that the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board has selected Jeri Beckens of Sodus, N.Y., Alyssa Pantano of Amherst, N.Y., Amanda Poppe of Jordan, N.Y., Amber Powers of Webster, N.Y., and Daniel Simmons of Lake Ronkonkoma, N.Y., to receive 2011-2012 U.S. Junior Fulbright awards. This year's recipients make a record breaking number in one year for the College. In the last five years, there have been 12 Fulbrights awarded to Nazareth College students.
Beckens, a senior with a German and international studies double major and Spanish minor, will teach English in Germany. When she returns, she is interested in pursuing a master's in international relations, or TESOL (teaching English to speakers of other languages).
Pantano, a senior with a Spanish and inclusive childhood/middle childhood education double major, will teach English in Argentina. Upon her return, she plans to attend graduate school at the University of Buffalo to study English for speakers of other languages (ESOL) with an extension in bilingual education. She plans to work with immigrant and refugee populations in the U.S. and possibly pursue a doctorate related to the social foundations of education.
Poppe, a senior with a Spanish and adolescence education double major, will teach English in Spain. She plans on attending graduate school for TESOL (teaching English to speakers of other languages) when she returns.
Powers, a TESOL (teaching English to speakers of other languages) graduate student, will teach English in Nepal. (pictured at left)
Simmons, a senior with German and Spanish double major, will teach English in Germany. There, he is hoping to get involved with an NGO that works on environmental sustainability initiatives. Upon return, he plans to apply to graduate schools. His dream is to work in international relations.
Established in 1946 under legislation introduced by the late Senator J. William Fulbright of Arkansas, the Fulbright Program's objective is to build mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the rest of the world. Sponsored by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, the Fulbright Program is America's flagship international education exchange. Approximately 279,500 "Fulbrights," 105,400 from the United States and 174,100 from other countries, have participated in the Program since its inception over fifty years ago.

Excessive pollution reported at Exxon refinery
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Exxon Mobil Corp. has reported inadvertent emissions of large amounts of pollutants at its flagship refinery near Houston.
Officials at the Baytown refinery reported a leak in a heat exchanger tube on Tuesday prompted them to shut down a flexicoking unit that separates heavy oils into fuels.
In their report to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, the officials reported that the shutdowns resulted in releases of hydrogen sulfide, nitrous oxide, sulfur dioxide and carbon monoxide exceeding the plant's permit limits.

Tampa, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will have a fresh start in 2014, as both head coach Greg Schiano and general manager Mark Dominik were fired on Monday.
Dominik had been part of the Bucs' organization since 1995 and had just completed his fifth season as the club's GM. He brought in Schiano before the 2012 campaign and the Bucs were just 11-21 in his brief two-year tenure.
This year's squad opened with eight straight losses and finished 4-12.
"The results over the past two years have not lived up to our standards and we believe the time has come to find a new direction," said Buccaneers co- chairman Bryan Glazer in a statement Monday. "Mark has been a valued member of our organization for two decades and we respect the passion he showed for the Buccaneers during his time here. We thank Greg for his hard work and effort the past two seasons, but we feel these moves are necessary in order to achieve our goals."
The Bucs were 7-9 last year and this year's team had problems from the outset, including the benching and subsequent release of quarterback Josh Freeman in October. There had been complaints of unrest in the locker room with speculation that Schiano has lost the respect of many players due to his strict and uncompromising style.
A season-opening win against the Jets was snatched from Tampa Bay's grasp when a penalty on a run out of bounds set up New York's last-second field goal in an 18-17 decision. Three of the Bucs' first four losses came by three points or less, and the club didn't win a game until Nov. 11 with a 22-19 triumph over Miami.
The victory over the Dolphins started a three-game win streak, but a three- game skid to close the season may have sealed the fate of both men. All three setbacks came by double digits, including a 42-17 drubbing in New Orleans on Sunday.
Schiano joined the Buccaneers after a somewhat successful 11-year stint at Rutgers. He finished 68-67 with the Scarlet Knights, turning around a program that had just one bowl appearance prior to his arrival into a perennial postseason contender.
The New Jersey native had minimal NFL coaching experience before taking over in Tampa Bay. He was a defensive assistant with the Chicago Bears in 1996-97 and the club's defensive backfield coach in '98.
Dominik, meanwhile, started his career with Tampa Bay as a pro personnel assistant in 1995. He also served as a pro scout, coordinator of pro personnel and director of pro personnel.

Movie Review: 'World War Z'
|World War Z
Starring: Brad Pitt, Mirielle Enos, Daniela Kertesz, James Badge Dale, Fana Mokoena, and David Morse.
Directed by Marc Forster
Rated PG-13
Many of us have been waiting for this day for quite some time. It began for us when we read Max Brooks' brilliant diary/novel describing the post-apocalyptic events of a worldwide zombie war and its ongoing effects. When we learned that it was being adapted into a big screen rendition anxiously passed the time by watching The Walking Dead television series in order to keep our zombie IQ's sharp and we continuously trolled the internet for all the late-breaking news surrounding the production of this film. We waited a long time for this as this is our D day, or more appropriately, our Z day - and I have to warn you that I'm about to issue a huge spoiler. Read no further if you dare, but the movie that was released today, World War Z, starring Brad Pitt, is NOT the book. I repeat, World War Z "the movie" is NOT World War Z the book. With that said, World War Z "the movie" is an exciting action thriller that will have you leaning forward in your seat. In fact, because it is nothing like the book you don't know what's coming next and that translates into an edge of your seat fun ride as you watch the undead take over the earth. It is everything you hope for in a summer blockbuster.
World War Z is all about Brad Pitt. He bought the books' rights, brought in Marc Forster to direct, produced it and used it as a vehicle to cast himself as an action figure. Some people may have an issue with that, but after seeing it, I do not. The movie also stars; Mireille Enos (The Killing), Daniella Kertesz, Fana Mokoena (Safe House), James Badge Dale (The Grey), and David Morse.
The film opens with former U. N. Investigator Gerry Lane (Pitt) and his wife, Karin (Enos) being awakened by their young exuberant children, Constance (Sterling Jerins) and Rachel (Abigail Hargrove) as they might on any typical day. They goof around, eat breakfast and then head out to start their days. It doesn't take long for that typical day to go to hell when a massive traffic jam in Philadelphia erodes into a terrifying flight for survival as we get our first glimpse of the swarming zombie hordes, or zekes as we learn to call them. They engulf everyone in their path and only the lucky escape. The Lanes are among the lucky.
Although he has a fairly impressive directing resume, many thought the choice of Foster to helm such an epic film would end in disaster. Early reports of trouble on the set seemed to validate those fears and when word leaked that the first film screening was a disaster, it gave those same doomsayers a gleeful "told you so". But Pitt would not be beat and he convinced his partners to pony up more cash, and brought in screenwriters Damon Lindelof and Drew Goddard to fix the ending. I don't know what that first version looked like, and I don't really care as this one works just fine and avoids the questionable plot lines that usually surround Lindelof projects.
Gerry learns from the U.N. Under-Secretary-General Thierry Umutoni (Mokoena) that entire cities have fallen to the zekes and the only way to stop them is to find the cause of the outbreak. Gerry's quest begins in South Korea on a rain soaked American military base with a group of experienced zeke fighting soldiers, but leaves without his answer. Next stop is Jerusalem who built a giant anti-zombie wall around the holy city. Gerry is assigned a small band of soldier protectors including the tough-as-nails Segan (Kertesz). Once things begin to crumble the two of them are off to the next spot on the globe in their desperate search for hope.
Forster keeps the film speeding along from one catastrophe to the next. Humankind is rapidly losing to the epidemic and like previous zombie movies, there is nothing to suggest that anyone gets out alive. You can run, you can hide, but eventually the zombies will get you. Forster and company's decision to make the World War Z zombies swarm like ants might be the most original, visually stunning and most unnerving part of the film. That is what sets this apart from all the other zombie movies, shows, books, etc. The only other film that I know of where the zombies were not slow shuffling was Zack Snyder's 2004 Dawn of the Dead remake. (28 Days Later doesn't count – they weren't zombies). Zombies are scary enough when they can be outrun, but ones that can run, jump and climb like crazed ants would be downright terrifying. Go see this film and consider it part of your zombie apocalypse training program.

By Joel email@example.com Song Keovongsak, branch manager of the BB&T bank in Jonesboro, has spent almost his entire life in Jonesboro. He attended Lee Street Elementary and later Kilpatrick Elementary, and played basketball at Mundy's Mill Middle School and Jonesboro High School. The first six months of Keovongsak's life, however, were spent in a refugee camp in Bangkok, Thailand. His parents fled to Bangkok from their native Laos after post-Vietnam War strife made it unsafe to live there. "People think the Vietnam War ended when the U.S. pulled out their troops, but it had long-lasting effects in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos," said Keovongsak. "Thailand was like the only country that was a safe haven for those immigrants." Keovongsak was born in the refugee camp and could have been there much longer than six month, if not for the work of catholic missionaries who sponsored his family to come to Jonesboro. Shortly after arriving in the city, his father took a job as a custodian at Kilpatrick Middle School and the family converted to Christianity. For the last 25 years, Keovongsak and his family have been members of First Baptist Church of Jonesboro. Keovongsak said that while the neighborhood he grew up in was very diverse, he started to feel out of place when he started attending school. In order to find some solace, Keovongsak excelled in sports. "My biggest challenge was just trying to fit in, and sports helped me do that," said Keovongsak. While running the mile and half mile for the track team, and playing safety for the football team at Mundy's Mill Middle School, Keovongsak said that he also shined as a point guard for the Mundy's Mill Middle School and Jonesboro High School basketball teams. "That was my refuge," he said. "It helped me fit in because of the fact that nobody saw me as the Asian kid. It took the focus off of that." Keovongsak graduated from Jonesboro High School in 1999 and attended the University of Georgia. In 2003, he graduated with a bachelor's degree in finance and took a position with Wells Fargo in Stockbridge for one year. After working for Wachovia Bank in East Point for three years, Keovongsak jumped when the opportunity came for him to take a managerial position in his hometown. "It's getting back to a community that has helped raise me pretty much," said Keovongsak. "This is all I've known for the 27 years I have been here, so I have a special place in my heart for Jonesboro." In August, Keovongsak will begin attending night classes at UGA's Buckhead campus to earn his Masters in Business Administration degree. While believing his future to be bright, Keovongsak cherishes the opportunities he has in the states. "We still have a lot of family [in Laos]," said Keovongsak. "The pictures we get from them over there are a constant reminder of how lucky we were ... how easily things could be different."

I love real wedding cakes – I understand the economics of having a "stunt cake" or a fake cake where only part of the cake is real for the cake cutting ceremony. However, real cake is so much more tasty.
This cake was a carrot cake covered with real blueberries, strawberries, and currants. It was a little tricky to photograph – it was so dark and backlit. I photographed it several ways – with an off camera flash, with natural light, from outside looking in. This particular photograph was stitched together from 9 exposures and put together using HDR (High Dynamic Range).
I then edited the photograph to have a more film look – digital looks to perfect sometimes – and imitating film gives things a unique look.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
To answer your question about drawing a mustache on the Mona Lisa, I would say that no drawing a mustache on a poster of the Mona Lisa isn't art, it is defacing art. Or at least a poster of art. The comparison is not really apt. We're talking apples and oranges.
Here is the difference. I would say that photography is art. I would also say that touching up photography is art as well. Perhaps it is a matter of taste and definition. For arguements sake, let us assume that there are three parties involved in any similar scenario concerning an object of art. The creator, the observer and the modifier.
The Creator: God/Nature/Mother Earth/Allah/et al
The Art/Object: A mountain view.
If the modifier does a little landscaping, plants a few other trees and flowers, perhaps adds a nature path with benches nice little brass signs describing the natural plant life then me, as the observer, would call that art.
If the modifier tossed a bunch of trash on the ground, I as the observer would call that littering.
If the modifier is.. say... Ansel Adams and takes really nice black and white photgraphs, then I call that art.... although black and white is really a distortion of the actual art of the creator, who created it in full color.
The Creator: Da Vinci
The Art/Object: the Mona Lisa
The Modifier: Draws a mustache
Observer: Me again... trash.
Modifier: uses a recreation in a tasteful setting.
Observer: Art.
Creator: Blizzard Devs and Artists
Modifier: Gamers who take screen shots of the virtual world and then change coloring and give it a more comic book look and add text bubbles, etc..
Observer: Me again... thats art. No different than a photographer who touches up their photos for artistic purposes.
Sorry mate, it was a good try and I had to think about it for a few minutes, but it really isn't the same arguement at all.

"Carson Desrosiers, C
Transfer from Wake Forest, 2 years eligibility, committed to Providence
The Overview: Carson Desrosiers is a 7 ft center. Sold.
Seriously though, this is a great transfer pick up. In 2010-2011 Desrosiers had the most blocks in a single season since 1994 (and second most blocks for a freshman in school history, falling behind a young player by the name of Tim Duncan). In two seasons he tied for 11th most blocked shots in Wake Forest history. He was the 64th overall high school prospect according to ESPN (5th best center) and 41st overall by Scout (9th best center). He's someone who can open up the paint and, more importantly, he's a desperately needed piece for the front court. The best part? He wants to be a Friar! On Twitter he was all…"

1. This thesis consists of the systematic clinical analysis of 26 personally observed cases of cerebral syphilis, in seven of which the diagnosis was confirmed by autopsy.2. Cerebral syphilis plays an important part in the production of mental disease, and should occupy a more prominent place among the organic psychoses than it heretofore has done.3. The spirochaæte pallida has for long been surmised to be the causal organism, but it was not until 1910 that Strasmann first demonstrated its presence in the central nervous system of an adult with acquired syphilis; the second case is reported in this thesis.Trauma, alcoholism, and physical and mental strain are important contributory factors.Re-infection with syphilis is quite possible provided the initial infection has been thoroughly cured.4. Anatomically, three main types of cerebral syphilis are differentiated; viz., meningitis, endarteritis, and gumma. Clinically, this differentiation is seldom possible, and is without practical value, as the treatment is the same in all irrespective of the type.5. The majority of cases of cerebral syphilis develop within the first three years after primary infection, and rarely more than ten years after infection; this is in striking contrast to cases of general paralysis and locomotor ataxia, which almost invariably develop at a period more than ten years after infection.6. In regard to the physical signs, the Argyll Robertson phenomenon is the one on which most weight should be laid in differential diagnosis, as it is rarely present in cases of cerebral syphilis. Other important features are: (a) an acute onset with headache, dizziness, and vomiting; (b) cranial nerve palsies; (c) convulsions without loss of consciousness, but usually followed by permanent focal symptoms; (d) intactness of speech and writing; (e) absence of facial tremor.7. Cerebral syphilis not infrequently causes pseudo-bulbar paralysis, and six cases of this affection have been here reported.8. The mental symptoms of cerebral syphilis are of the nature of those seen in acute organic reactions, and consist of confusion, delirium, amnesia, hallucinations, retention defect, and a poor memory for recent events; in addition there is relatively little disintegration of the personality.9. The Wassermann reaction must be considered in relation with the clinical picture in each individual case; when the Wassermann reaction with the cerebro-spinal fluid is negative, the diagnosis of cerebral syphilis is indicated.10. It is frankly admitted that there is no pathognomonic sign for cerebral syphilis; but if the nature and character of the onset and the above-mentioned physical and mental symptoms and signs are correlated, a disease entity is formed which has every right to be considered characteristic.11. Anomalous features, among which may be mentioned euphoria and grandiose ideas, and confabulatory states, are more common in cerebral syphilis than is generally recognized; special attention must be paid to the setting in which these features occur, because when occurring in a setting of confusion they mean practically nothing.12. Recent statistics confirm one in the opinion that the prognosis of cerebral syphilis, as compared with other organic affections of the nervous system, is relatively good; the most favorable cases are those which develop soon after the primary infection, and those of a meningitic or gummatous type.13. Mercury, no matter in what form administered, is an exceedingly valuable drug in the treatment of syphilis, provided that it is given in a systematic way. The best results are, however, probably obtained by combining mercurial and salvarsan treatment. Potassium iodide acts simply as an eliminative agent, and has no specific action on the spirochæte pallida.The only safe treatment is prophylaxis.

Whisky Type
Benrinnes 14 Year Old 1998 vintage Speyside single malt Scotch whiskey. Single sherry butt #9631 bottled March 2013 by Douglas Laing & Co. for the Old Malt Cask series. 302 bottles.
Benrinnes Distillery was established by Peter Mackenzie in 1826 on the north-west shoulder of Ben Rinns Mountain and until the advent of modern road transport systems Benrinnes Distillery was rather isolated. Only a small percentage of Benrinnes malt whisky is released as Benrinnes single malt including Benrinnes Flora & Fauna. Since 1956 distillation at Benrinnes followed an unusual and complex partial triple distillation process but this was replaced by double distillation around 2010. Benrinnes Distillery is one of the few Scottish distilleries continuing to cool its spirit in traditional worm tubs and is a participant in the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival.

Efficient Phase Unwrapping Architecture for Digital Holographic Microscopy

Abstract: This paper presents a novel phase unwrapping architecture for accelerating the computational speed of digital holographic microscopy (DHM). A fast Fourier transform (FFT) based phase unwrapping algorithm providing a minimum squared error solution is adopted for hardware implementation because of its simplicity and robustness to noise. The proposed architecture is realized in a pipeline fashion to maximize through put of thecomputation. Moreover, the number of hardware multipliers and dividers are minimized to reduce the hardware costs. The proposed architecture is used as a custom user logic in a system on programmable chip (SOPC) for physical performance measurement. Experimental results reveal that the proposed architecture is effective for expediting the computational speed while consuming low hardware resources for designing an embedded DHM system.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
The parents, teachers and principal work together as a team. Dutch hill is a family! Top notch education in a creative loving environment. The PTA is very active and helps bring events such as bringing the science center to the school, crazy scientist night and more. There is always something fun and educational going on at dutch hill. Our family feels so lucky to be a part of such a wonderful institution!
We love Dutch Hill! A brand new principal has created enthusiasm and a morale boost within the staff. One of their Kindy teachers was even a Golden Apple recipient in 2011. The PTA is growing and motivated to include all the school's families in their activities. From the librarian to the assistants in the cafeteria and playground, all the employees seem to have a gentle, caring way with the students. The new principals first goal was to know every child's name and can be found opening car doors during morning drop off. Three cheers for Dutch Hill!!!
This is the best school i have ever put my kids in. Thank you Dutch Hill Staff and PTA
The teachers and educational assistants and specialists are top notch. Unfortunately, the administration is not up to par. My daughter was groped on a bus and the principal did nothing until I confronted her with the district policy on sexual harassment. Even then, her effort was lackluster.
Strength appears in the dedication and perseverence of some of the teachers--true crusaders who deserve lifelong gratitude. But I don't see a ton of dynamic teaching or forward thinking here--the greatest responsibilities of public schools in the coming decades. As with everywhere in WA, WASL-prescribed teaching gobbles time and smothers creativity. Lastly the learning environment is unhealthy. Classrooms are tombs. Almost no natural light, poor ventilation. And the kids get little recess. The school is screaming for a ground-up overhaul. Afraid when the current district reconstruction projects are done, the district will be in the red until the end of time.
What an amazing school. Parent involment is high. Could use a remodel. but that does not effect the high quality of learning from caring teachers and staff.
My two children attended this school for one year. What I liked best about Dutch Hill is that the teachers and principle worked together as a team. Parents are involved, and the atmosphere is welcoming. The students appear happy, and there is alot of stability with the staff. Overall, a great school.
Wow! What a neat school. My kids have fantastic teachers. The staff is fun and encouraging while the principal is supportive and attentive. What a change from my years at Cascade View. Mrs. McPherson is a great teacher! Thanks to all of you who have helped me through the kinks and pushed us off to a terrific start! I look forward to the year.
This is a great school with a positive learning environment! There is huge parent involvement which shows that there is community support.
