Reports out of Cleveland indicate that LeBron James has a strain in his right elbow and a bone bruise. He is not expected to miss any time in the upcoming series with the Celtics. As Brian Windhorst of the Plain Dealer put it on his Twitter account: "In technical terms it is a "bone bruise of his olecranon." In lay terms, it means he banged his elbow and it is sore."

kiss me when the sun goes down
Right now I am in the middle of exams, and my brain is literally fried! Summer is fast approaching and I really could not be more grateful for the 4 month holiday that I'm about to have.
Over the month of May, I did a challenge where I wore a different outfit every day. Despite how awkward it got wearing something different each day, it was surprisingly really fun and I ended with a whole new appreciation for my wardrobe. I thought it would be fun to do it again, because this time, I can explore summer clothes!
Peplum tops, bright nail polish, studded shorts and printed cropped tops are very popular at the moment, with more styles bound to come in stores soon over for the summer season.. I guess I'll have to stock up my wardrobe before I do another challenge!
winter lovin'
Woah, I've written, deleted and rewritten this post a trillion times. I'd rather write something with a clear head that just blabber right now, so I'll just stick with something fun and lighthearted instead. So here's my hot list for winter:
One. Bold patterns seem to be making a regular appearance in my wardrobe recently, I seriously cannot get enough!! Floral print jeans and blazers, horse printed blouses and aztec patterned leggings amaze me!
Two. Something I slowly want to start letting creep in my jewelry collection is skulls. I know, you're either thinking "oh cute!", or "eeew what a goth." But whatever, I think there are some skull decorated items that actually can be tasteful. People wear t-shirts with faces on them all the time, so a skull is basically the same just without skin or facial features.
Three. I also really really want an oversized clutch. I always find ones I like but I want a big one, that's not floppy but firm, and that will fit my phone in it. Sequined, studded and metallic ones are amongst the styles that I like.
Four. Faux fur jackets. So practical cause it's warm during this chilly season in NZ, and still so classic and sexy.
Five. Neon lipsticks and bold lip colour. This has always been a favourite of mine as it makes your outfit so versatile. Adding a bright lip colour can change the type of outfit you're wearing from day wear to night wear.
I was going to do a not list as well, but to be honest, as long as you are comfortable with what you're wearing, than that's all that should matter. Stay warm x
star studded
This week has been such a good week. Feeling pretty chuffed at how chill life is being at the moment!
But, ya know what? Life can suck fat ones - sometimes more often than you'd want it to. And ya know what else? There's nothing you can do about it! Stop trying to change what you cannot change. Embrace your trials and tribulations, enjoy the journey that it takes you on and build a bridge. And all you haters; don't try build walls in front of someone's bridge when they're doing their best to just get by. Your negativity, although may seem like 'constructive criticism', can be all it takes to tear someone down again.
Here's to all the bridges!
I ♥ anything with studs!
little one
There have been so many babies being born recently, particularly over the past few months. Lucky for me I can help ease my cluckiness on someone else's child.. but I am still super excited to have my own in the future.
One thing that I still struggle to understand is some of the names parents call their children. Yes, it is your child. Yes, you have the right to call it what you like. However, your poor child has to live with the name you give it for the rest of it's life. No matter how cute it might sound, how cool your think it is to change the spelling or how different and unique it is, it is someone's name, not just a cool thing you can make up to be trendy.
Be careful with the the name you give! For the sake of your child!
My favorite baby clothes, all from Baby Gap
After a long day at uni, all I want to do is go shopping. If I only I had money!
So instead, on a sneaky quick break, I drool over beautiful garments on Vogue. This is the Autumn/Winter collection by Gary Bigeni, full of a whole new pallet of winter snuggly colors and bold prints. I love the different layers and colour combinations in this collection, makes me super excited for winter!
One of my most favourite things to do when Im feeling inspired and just want to organize things, is to change my room around!
I love to read NZ Home and Garden for ideas and inspiration, as well as taking inspiration from other friends, websites and TV. Glass jars, doilys', floral canvases, photo frames with material, quotes and old photos, stacks of books and lots of colour everywhere are my main decoration must-do's in my room at the moment. I have a new floral quilt duvet which I have used as my centre feature to which everything else in my room compliments. I love to have plenty of photographs around my room as they remind me of the happy times I have had in the past.
Be inspired!
(photos are all my originals)
do you think I'm tex-y?
I'm just a little bit obsessed with nail polish at the moment!
A friend of mine has a collection to die for and I've recently worked my way through my faves from her box full (it actually is a box full..) of choices. I'm really love love loving hot bright pink shades at the moment, as well as mustard yellow, greens and orange. 'Do you think I'm tex-y?' by OPI is going to be my summer shade, which matches my new shoes! I love high heels!

Our $200 Fireplace Makeover (Marble Tile & A New Mantel)
We can officially stick a fork in it, guys. Well, Sherry actually stuck an oversized fauz clam shell in it, but that's doesn't roll off the tongue quite as well. Either way, the fireplace makeover is complete.
To back up a smidge, you saw us devise a plan for this little refacing makeover, add some marble subway tile and then build out around it. Reminder: fireplace code is different in every area (and requirements vary if it's wood burning or if it has a gas insert, etc) so it's a good idea to check that before going nuts on your fireplace.
Our fireplace is non-working (we'd love to add a gas insert and even double-side it down the road) but for this phase of the process all that was left was to add some primer and paint.
I'll spare you the play-by-play of the painting process because it wasn't all that exciting. First we primed (using what we already had on hand) then painted the whole thing with Benjamin Moore's Cloud Cover since it's what's on the nearby cabinets (and because we had some leftover). After that we did some touch-ups, like giving the firebox itself a fresh coat of its original color (Benjamin Moore's Temptation) Note: use fireplace-approved high heat paint if you have a working fireplace.
And after giving it a couple of days to "cure" we put everything back so that we could call this puppy complete. And it's a puppy that I kind of want to curl up with (yes, Sherry pets it).
Update: A few folks are asking if we considered widening the tiled heath to match the width of the built-out sides of the fireplace – we did, but since it's just a bit of shoe molding (which also extends around all of our cabinets) it didn't bother us enough to rip up cork to make it happen. Perhaps down the line we'll paint the brown floor trim white to make it appear wider if it bothers us :)
Here's an obligatory before and after for ya:
But I much prefer this one, which shows what the fireplace looked like when we bought our house back in 2010…
Since the painting step didn't cost us any extra money (we used supplies that we already owned), the total cost for the project is just the addition of the two budgets we've already shared (tiling was $99 and building out was $98.75) but here's the full breakdown:
- Cement board (2 sheets): $16
- Masonry screws: already owned
- Liquid Nails Heavy Duty: $2
- Subway tile: $5.50/sq ft, totaling $70
- Thinset: already owned
- Tiling tools (saw, trowel, float, etc): already owned
- Grout: $11
- Tile sealer: already owned
- MDF frame: $35
- Mantle top: $17
- Crown, baseboard, & decorative trim: $22.75
- 1 x 2″ boxes: $24
- TOTAL: $197.75 (* thanks to holiday gift cards from the family we only spent $147.75 – but without gift cards or already owned supplies this might be a $250 upgrade)
Definitely not our cheapest project, but we love it. The herringbone marble tile and the tailored built-out surround looks pretty darn expensive (at least in our humble opinion). We've never had a tiled fireplace so we suddenly feel very swanky indeed. Perchance I'll start sporting an ascot.
Some of you were curious about how we concealed the exposed edge of the cement board around the firebox.
We just used a piece of trim that we had in our scrap pile (it's slightly rounded on both sides). Before grouting we glued it in place to provide a clean edge to grout up against and now it's painted to match everything else. Obviously for a functioning wood-burning fireplace that's no bueno, so you'd probably want to use something like this. And if we ever convert our fireplace to a wood-burning one (which is unlikely since it would require a ton of chimney work) we'll just pop out the wood trim and install tile edge pieces.
Now back to the gratuitous after shots.
Ok, one more and we're done.
Just this guy and I'm out.
Oh wait, here's a good comparison shot that shows how the original fireplace was pretty thin and even a little top-heavy, while the new chunkier tiled-and-framed-out version feels more "focal-point-ish." In person has even more dimension (unfortunately photos of a white-ish surround with white-ish tile don't depict all the texture and interest that they have in real life).
But perhaps best of all, our wall of penny tile on the other side of the room no longer feels like it's "the fancy wall" while the rest of the kitchen struggles to keep up. The herringbone marble fireplace finally gives the penny tile a run for its money, in the best possible way. According to Sherry "it's a swank-off in our kitchen." Fireplace vs. wall o' penny tile. Who will win? It's anyone's guess. (Spoiler alert: Sherry says the wall of penny tile wins because she pets it slightly more than the marble but it's very close.)
So that's the end of our little fireplace update. We're really glad to have it done and are looking forward to some porch and carport updates. So come on end-of-March snow, give it a rest so we can get outside and start working! What are you guys doing? Any tiling, mantel building, priming, or painting? What about placing giant clam shells around the house? Any of that going on? That's all in a days work for my lady.
PS: If you want to read about this makeover from the beginning, check out our planning process, how we tiled and how we built out the wood frame around it.

That looks lovely :) The tiles are so shiny and pretty, even in the pictures I can tell! I think I'd plonk some battery operated fairy lights in the clam shell for a cosy glow in the evenings, oh and I love the herringbone pattern – looks well posh! ;)
It looks really nice! Between this and the board and batten you guys seem to be making more traditional choices now. Are you thinking of taking the house in that direction?
I wouldn't make the hearth the same width. There's enough perfect rectangles already.
Someone has probably mentioned this but just in case… The tv show Revenge has that fishing basket lampshade used in a set (the Stowaway bar) but it has a big, white globe over the bulb and under the basket. It looks nice like that, if you ever wanted to doll yours up some.
Looks AMAZING! I love it!
I was skeptical about your plans, and I'm still a little leery of painting brick/wood (or messing with them), but it looks great! And I absolutely love the new color of the kitchen.
The fireplace mantel looks great, you guys did a awesome job. John, you've earned the right to sport an ascot!
White wood trim + marble is right up my alley! This is one of my favorite makeovers you've done. Amazing work, you guys!
Absolutely B E A U T I F U L !
What a difference from the original fireplace. You guys rock!
Hugs from Argentina.
This is beautiful! I love the tile you chose, although I was wondering if in person it shines a little more than in the photos. Did you consider painting the surround a slightly darker color to make the tile pop more?
P.S. if I were Sherry I would be petting your new fireplace too!
I love the herringbone pattern the most! Beautiful!
One question, because we just moved into a house with a beautiful wood-burning fireplace and lovely wood floors … but there is no fire-proof "flooring" right in front of the fireplace. Do you think it would be pretty simple to lay tile or something similar to what you have, without a space existing for it? (Does that make sense? You already had a faux-bricky space to cover up … we just have continuous wood floors). Thanks!
Such a great project! I will be remodeling soon and will def use this as inspiration.
It's beauuuutiful!! Lovely! Great job, y'all!
Marble threshold! :-)
Bevel-edged marble strips–like what are used for thresholds–could be an elegant and attractive solution to that off-ness of the hearth being smaller than the sides of the fireplace surround.
These sites, for instance, have some examples: http://www.tiling-treasures.com/marble-thresholds.html
Sooo shiny!!! Fabulous! You guys have such a classy decorating eye ;) And it goes so well with the blue – I was a grellow fan but the blue comes through much better in the photos – so calm and yet vibrant. Ha and I love the 'swank-off'…I'm picturing Sherry in yoga pants swishing through the kitchen with a discriminating eye! :)
(Also random comment – your web site is in my Chrome bookmarks bar and it doesn't show a specialized icon like a lot of other blogs I read do, just a white page icon. Perhaps a bug?)
Gorgeous! I love how the front edge of the clam shell mimics the shape of flames.
Danielle, I love that too! (Plus it adds nice organic curves amongst the rectangles.) We haven't converted our upstairs wood-burning fireplace to gas yet, and for now I have a pile of antlers in the grate. The tips look like frozen flames too. I thought about painting them in fire tones or gold-leafing them, but I like 'em au naturel!
Ohhhhh seeing your fire place makes me miss our house in Washington… We are stuck in Crapolorado (aka Colorado) for the time being in a tiny tiny rental home with no fireplace… Whenever I go home to Washington I literally pull up a chair and sit in front of my massive fireplace! One day we will get to go home and continue to work on our craftsman home, but until then (and well lets be honest till the end of time) I will happily follow your journey on your home love-renovations! :)
If ever your hankering to do another fireplace and your presence in Annapolis coincides, consider this my pretty please! Love the change you've made.
Ah! I love it so much!!! It makes me wish we could do something about our giant red brick fireplace sucking the life/light out of the living room! But right now we're working on finishing touches of painting our kitchen:
and this weekend it's building raised bed planters, and then built-ins for the dining room to office conversion, so who knows when we'll get to the fireplace! ha!
Ah, love it. Maybe I'm weird, but I actually like that the hearth stone area does not extend all the way to the edges of the fireplace surround. It looks more interesting and layered this way.
Have you thought about painting the MDF areas a subtly darker color? I think it would make the trim really pop!
GRRR!! I wish I saw this 2 months ago! I'd just finished the process of refacing my non-working ugly brick fireplace. Except I did the entire thing in stacked stone, similar in color to yours. Lighter tile has definitely made the room look brighter, but I kinda like this idea of putting an MDF surround too… oh well :) Nice job guys!!
Long time reader, never commented. By far, one of the best projects yet. Perfection. Now you have me wanting to replace my dated tile surround on my fireplace.
Gorgeous job! On a side note, do you watch Revenge? In Jack's place, I noticed his light pendant looks so similar to the one you two put together with the basket that is hanging here in your little fireplace nook. Pretty cool…although I did feel kinda stalker-ish for noticing that!
So I am a little late to the party and just recently discovered your blog. Which I am now in love with. Love the new fireplace! I have scavanged your Project tab and love the art section, I need more art, but I was wondering how you mat your DIY art? Ie: the magazine monogram? DO you have a board and razor you cut your own mats or do you pull a stick it on cardstock kind of thing like with the lady-in-pool piece?
YOWZA!! What a FANCY fireplace! I think I'm going to have to get me a clam shell. Hope I never have to fight you for it! :)
Another beautiful home run for YHL! Way to go team! It looks amazing!
Love the before and after shots. I've been dying to update our fireplace surround it a similar fashion so it is good to see the play by play!
In fact, I am doing some tiling this week too, thanks for asking. White subway tiles are going on the backsplash of my son's homemade play kitchen tomorrow. Very exciting! I love your fireplace update. Well worth the time and financial investment to have another spot in your home you are head-over-heels in love with.
Wow!! That looks crazy good! A question for you. Your topiary trees on you mantel are they fake or real? I have been looking for some taller, skinny ones like that but having nooooo luck! Love your blog!!
I LOVE it! We plan on removing our fireplace insert too and i look forward to the day I can be posting several shots for my friends to ooh and ahh over :)
Cool! You've probably been asked this a million times, but do the former owners of this house know about your blog? I think it would be fun for them to see all of the wonderful changes you've made to this home!
I usually don't comment, but I love your blog. I saw this post at Better After today, and it looks do much like your fire place before and after I had to share.
yes that did require Caps Lock.
And John I look forward to the photos of you sporting that Ascot reading a book by the fireplace! :)
What a stunning transformation!!! Definitely worth every penny…
Makes me want a fireplace even more :-( The troubles of being a renter…
I love this so much! Most beautiful non-working fireplace award goes to you. The tile alone makes me drool.
We are just finishing reno-ing our living area with some new paint, curtains etc etc but were stuck on what to do with the hearth. um…herringbone tile it is! Love love love this, thank you!
Oh this looks great! And amazingly not expensive as well!
Wow. Swank-a-licious. You're kitchen went from fun/playful with the grellow walls and teal/turquoise stools to sofisticated and high end with all the wood and sparkle and blue. I like(d) both! Nice work, craftsman John!
i can't believe you guys did that for under $200…. amazing. seriously you guys are handy. looks great. congrats and enjoy. PS you guys work super fast…. at least it feels like it.
Great transformation. On the subject of non-working fireplaces, I recently found out that the chimney liner for my fireplace in the house I just bought is, in fact, cracked all the way up, so my fireplace is non-useable too. I plan on installing a wood-burning stove which requires an exhaust pipe to run all the way up the chimney anyway. My chimney inspector said buying and installing the wood-burning stove would be cheaper than fixing the chimney lining. Plus it's way more efficient as a heat source.
Love it! and…paint that floor trim white today! You won't be sorry. :)
Great job!!! I wish we had the guts to do things like this! My mantle is an ugly light brown and we hate it…yet we can't seem to find the courage to paint it….what if we mess it up even more…what if it totally looks DIY'd!! AAahh
Anyway. very nice.
…and just a small tiny little comment….I don't so much like the mirror on top of your mantle….it seems a nice white crispy mirror would be so much better! I know you are trying to tie it in with the floor and all…but…naaaah..
Love the fireplace redo! you guys are awesome. Got to say though i would have extended the the floor tile to match the new width of the fireplace…..something about it just looks a bit off… i would have gotten out my oscillating tool and carefully cut the cork on each side to widen it out, without having to pull up the floor…..but that is just me.
Love everything you do.
Guys the fireplace reno came out amazing!!! Wish we had a fireplace in our house… I guess its really not necessary since we live in Miami, but its still nice to look at.. =)
What is the brand and name of your beautiful blue paint??
Wowza this looks so good! What a difference for just $200.00. Your pictures are beautiful. Great job once again!
Gorgeous result! Really looks fabulous. I think it looks better with the hearth not as wide as the surround. It gives it more visual interest. It would all be too boxy if everything was even.
Your fireplace is gorgeous. What a beautiful transformation. We recently had our downstairs painted and added dark and light grays to our very white, funky fireplace. http://bigwhitehouseonthehill.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/fireplace-collage.jpg Little tweaks can make such a huge difference. Way to go.
Beautiful. I want to take a vacation in your kitchen.
I'm sorry – I think the brick has so much more character and fits the style of your home perfectly. This new fireplace, while very pretty, is very generic and board & batten is trendy and will look dated. Plus, I do think you (not you personally, but the "general" you)can overdo it with the board and batten, it's just too much. This is such a formal fireplace now, so I don't see it as the cozy character piece that belongs in a space off the kitchen. I know you also addressed the pieces along both sides that extend out from the tile, but that shows even more that it's not made to be that way. Just my opinion – I hope that you keep some natural character in your house, as opposed to looking like every single blog in blog land. It's what makes people talk and houses unique – a very special thing.
Absolutely love it! I have this song below stuck in my head for work, you should totally do a happy dance to this in your kitchen. HA (Let me know if you do)
Yes! "I love it"

Ukrainians Capture Russian Intelligence Team Spying on Ukrainian Troops in Kherson Area
March 14, 2014
The following is an extract of a long foxnews.com news summary of today's developments in the Crimea:
"While veiled threats emanate from the city of Kherson, the capital of the province of the same name, tension is high on the Crimea border. There are only two main roads leading into Crimea from the rest of Ukraine, one crossing the narrow Isthmus of Perekop in the west and another eastern route on the Azov Sea, known as the Kharkiv-Simferopol highway. Both are now patrolled by Russian and Ukrainian military units.
Ukraine's State Security Service on March 12 said it had detected and detained a Russian military reconnaissance team dispatched to Kakhovka, Kherson region to assess Ukrainian troop strength near Kakhovka, south of Kherson.
"The group was monitoring the activities of the 3rd rocket artillery division in Kakhovka, the 208th rocket artillery brigade and the 79th motorized brigade," the State Security Service spokeswoman said, adding its agents had confirmed that one of the men detained is a citizen of the Russian Federation from Ryazan, Russia working for Russian military intelligence.
DmytroTymchuk, who heads the center for Military and Political Studies and has been monitoring Russian troop movements, noted hat he called "a very disturbing picture" of Russian forces massing in the area of the narrow strip of land connecting Crimea to the mainland during the last 24 hours.
Tymchuk said at least 500 Russian soldiers from a battalion from Chechnya, Russia and up to 25 Russian artillery units, equipped with armored personal carriers and Russian Tiger fighting vehicles, are currently dug in at Perekop, south of Kherson province, with a corresponding number near deployed to Chonhar.
"The primary task of these units is to prevent Ukrainian troops from entering Crimea before the referendum on March 16. The military units may later be used to invade mainland strategic facilities in Kherson region," Tymchuk said.
Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council head Andriy Parubiy said 80,000 Russian troops are deployed along the borders of Ukraine's eastern regions. The Russian armed contingent includes 270 tanks, 180 armored personnel carriers, 18 rocket launches, 18 fighter jets, 90 combat helicopters and up to 19 navy vessels.
Yuri Bochkovsky, head of the all-Ukrainian Border Guards Veterans Association, told FoxNews.com that Kiev has dispatched armored personnel carriers and airborne troops from Mykolaiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions to checkpoints along the highway on the western route, at Chaplinka and Kalanchak a south of Kherson, as well as in eastern Kherson region at Chonhar, along the Kharkiv-Simferopol highway.
"I think we have enough armor on the ground now to repel any Russian advance," Bochkovsky told FoxNews.com."

gtanv's comments are not cogent. The liberals will offer spending cuts years in the future for tax hikes today--a deal they will never honor. There is no need to offer anything to Obama and his mob. Spending bills must originate in the House. Just appropriate less money and if the Senate does not concur, then we will have a real crisis, one Conservatives can use to get some spending cuts--ethanol subsidy? corporate welfare? foreign aid? All of these are possibilities. It would help if we could dump wimps like Mc Cain, Graham and Chambliss at the next opportunity.

A law setting mandatory nurse-to-patient staffing ratios has reduced the number of workplace injuries for registered nurses and licensed practical nurses in California, according to recently published findings.
So, let me start off by saying that I am sure a lot of us have our own rating systems. For example, my sisters and I have a tissue-box rating system for tearjerker books and movies. The book the "Fault in Our Stars" (excellent in my opinion) was a 5-tissue-box book. The movie "Terms of Endearment" a 5-tissue-box movie, for sure.
Federal regulators should start collecting nursing home staffing information directly from payroll systems as soon as possible, members of the Congressional Seniors Task Force said in a letter to a top healthcare official Tuesday.
A nursing home's staffing patterns and admissions trends are among the most important factors driving residents' quality of life over time, according to recently published research findings.
Attendees at a free McKnight's webcast Aug. 19 will hear how frontline execs have found success battling new caregiving challenges in long-term and post-acute care. The event will feature, among other topics, best labor and personnel strategies from Dan Leamon, vice president with Altercare of Ohio, and Diane Geis, Altercare's chief personnel officer.
The birds are singing, everything is green, people are planning vacations and you are shaking in your boots. Because you know, unlike the rest of the world, that with your job, you're gonna have more patients to take care of than you can shake a stick at!
People eligible both for Medicare and Medicaid go to lower-quality nursing homes after being hospitalized at a rate higher than Medicare-only patients, according to researchers from Brown and Harvard universities.
Long-term care providers can learn about balanced approaches to staffing that both answer increasing acuity needs and stay within budget at a McKnight's webinar June 11. "Staffing strategies built for quality care" kicks off at 1 p.m. Eastern. The free webinar features Irene Fleshner, RN, NHA, FACHE, senior vice president for strategic nursing initiatives for Genesis Healthcare.
This week, nearly 1 million certified nursing assistants across the nation have been celebrating National Nursing Home Week as they render their special care services to nearly 1.5 million residents living in skilled nursing centers.
This is going to sound terribly wrong on the face of it. There's no way around it. It appears that the nation's largest association of nursing home operators has just bought itself a whole lot of credibility.
It's not quite in the dirty-little-secret category, but here it is: The nation's recent economic downturn was good for the bottom line at many urban long-term care facilities. Change appears to be on the way.
Compass Health has agreed to a $1.1 million settlement in a class action lawsuit alleging that the skilled nursing provider did not pay overtime or allow workers to take needed breaks.
What does quality staffing look like in 2014? A free McKnight's webcast March 6 will sort through facts and myths to help providers better understand what they should be doing to keep themselves at the quality forefront.
The turnover rate in long-term care is a very significant problem, so I dug into the research about it. Some of the findings were shocking. Others were simply very disappointing. Here's what I found, and what can be done to improve conditions.
What is it that truly sets your community apart?
It's no secret that our nation's long-term care facilities need additional caregivers. More than 43,000 direct care staff positions remain unfilled, according to figures from the American Health Care Association.
An Iowa skilled nursing facility has been charged with wrongful death for allegedly allowing a resident to fall dozens of times prior to her death, which was brought on by a fall.
Nursing home workers would have to recertify their union representation after any major changes in staffing, if a newly proposed bill becomes law.
More than 6,000 skilled nursing facilities achieved notable gains in the first year of the American Health Care Association's Quality Initiative, the provider association announced yesterday.
As many of you know, this is long-term care conference season, which means having a quality smartphone is essentially a must. Since my old phone could best be described as "temperamental," before I headed to AHCA/NCAL I picked up the new Motorola Moto X Android. This phone is so amazing I keep waiting for it to do my laundry. But in the meantime, it makes it tons easier to shoot off emails, use Twitter, shoot video and edit stories. Most importantly, the new phone has Tetris.
Employers must adopt tools and embrace policies that keep caregivers as well as residents safe during the bathing process — or pay the price in injuries.
Healthcare providers are having a hard time hiring nurses, and the vacancies are having a negative impact on staff morale and patient care, according to a new survey from CareerBuilder.
Staffing is a key factor in determining a nursing home's quality of care, according to new state-by-state analysis from advocacy group Families for Better Care.
EDITOR'S NOTE: THIS WEBCAST IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR LISTENING 'ON DEMAND' BY CLICKING THROUGH THE REGISTRATION PAGE BELOW. McKnight's will host a free, one-hour webcast Aug. 22 that is sure to be a professional boost for nurse managers and administrators in long-term care settings. The event will explore certified nurse aide dynamics and relationships in long-term care settings. Lori Porter, the CEO of the National Association of Health Care Assistants will be the featured speaker.
A substantial number of nursing homes improved their overall Five-Star Quality Rating between 2009 and 2011, according to a recently released Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services analysis. The proportion of facilities with a one-star overall rating decreased from 22.7% in January 2009 to 15.6% in December 2011, and the proportion with a four- or five-star overall rating increased from 35.2% to 43.2%.
For all of our talk about the need for retention in long-term care, let's be honest: It can be thrilling for caregivers to land a new job, and can be equally exciting to announce someone is coming to your organization.
I have been in my director of nursing position at my new job for about three months now and I find that our turnover rate is outrageous. I interview and hire but after orientation, it is hard to keep our new hires. Any suggestions on how to improve retention?
Affordable Care Act requirements related to health insurance are leading long-term care providers to hire more part-time employees, according to some experts.
Long-term care operators are understandably giddy about the sudden prospect of immigration reform. But they might want to curb their enthusiasm.
Thursday's Congressional hearing about immigration policy became a forum for discussing how the recently proposed budget from Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) would affect long-term care providers.

Mumbai: AAP office attacked
A group of unidentified men vandalised the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) office in Mumbai on Saturday.
The AAP alleged that Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) workers attacked their office.
"At about 2.23pm today, NCP goons led by Amol Matele NCP Youth President attacked the Aam Aadmi Party Maharashtra State Office in Andheri, Mumbai. They arrived in a truck, and got out a effigy which they burned in front of the office; the address is 2nd Floor, Vishwananak B Wing (Sangeeta Apartments), Gurunanak Wadi, Opposite Hindustan Lever, Hargovindji Marg, Chakala Naka, Andheri East, Mumbai 400099. Some NCP goons stormed up the stairs and grabbed a cut out of Arvind Kejriwal which they added to the fire. They blasted the office with balloons full of black paint and shouted slogans using despicable language against AAP. They also chanted slogans pro Ajit Pawar.
?" the AAP said in a statement.
The party said the attackers were about to mount another attack on the office when they were stopped by the security personnel.
" It is shocking that police which was in the vicinity did not stop them until they had finished their entire act of vandalism and only stopped them when they tried to enter the office. The detained person were taken to Andheri East Police station. AAP told the police that is up to the police to file complaints against such miscreants and file charges; AAP will not be interested in filing any complaint," the AAP said.
"Instead, AAP chose the path of Ahimsa and forgiveness and AAP volunteers headed to the nearest NCP office to sweep the dirt away with brooms in order to help the misguided NCP followers clear the cobwebs of obfuscation from their minds. However, Mayank Gandhi was detained on his way to the NCP office and is now at the MIDC Police Station Andheri," the party said.

With one week left until the 2014 NBA Draft, the Los Angeles Clippers have curiously put their scouting emphasis on wing players when they need to focus on frontcourt depth–or the lack thereof.

Perhaps its simply a case of Doc Rivers doing his due diligence on the prospects that fall within range of his 28th pick, regardless of position. The Clippers did bring in Baylor big man Isaiah Austin for a workout on Wednesday, and ESPN Insider Chad Ford has them taking Michigan center Mitch McGary in his latest mock draft:
The Clippers lack a lot of big bodies up front. There's virtually no real depth behind Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan. Had he not injured his back, McGary likely would've been a lottery pick this year. If he gets healthy, he provides instant toughness and hustle in the paint.
But none of the other aforementioned players stand taller than 6'7″.
This is worrisome when the roster features zero bigs beyond Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan. Glen Davis is likely to decline his $1.2 million player option and Ryan Hollins is an unrestricted free agent, not that either player makes you excited to get up for work in the morning. But it goes to show that even with one of the best forward/center pairings in the league, the Clippers lacked a legitimate frontcourt rotation.
A few numbers to highlight the issue, courtesy of NBA.com:
- Los Angeles finished the regular season 26th in opponent offensive rebounding percentage, .
- Griffin and Jordan grabbed 53 percent of the team's rebounds in 2013-14, no other pairing comes close to 50.
- The Clippers' .532 opponent field-goal percentage at the rim ranked 20th despite Jordan finishing 18th and Griffin among the top-50 in that stat individually.
Rivers has plenty at the 2 and 3, including a guy he stuck his neck out to acquire in J.J. Redick. Matt Barnes put together a career season, and at $3.3 million his production is a steal. There's also Clips' 2013 draftee Reggie Bullock, who has yet to break into the rotation.
The free agent pool for big men doesn't exactly inspire confidence and the Clips' expected $71.7 million salary (once Davis, Granger and Willie Green are gone) doesn't lend itself to any significant improvements. Nor does Rivers have the type of mid-level trade assets to send out.
Let's not forget that Jordan is entering a contract year and Griffin and Chris Paul will eat up at least $40 million per year combined until 2016-17. It becomes clear the Clippers need to bolster their inside presence, and the best way to do that is through the NBA Draft.

I enjoyed the actors performances and thought the overall production value was great. However, the story was a little on the thin side when it came to plot.

The next generation of aircraft could be thinner and lighter thanks to the development of a nonlinear acoustic imaging technique that can detect damage previously invisible to acoustic imaging systems. According to Dr. Jack Potter, research assistant in the department of mechanical engineering at the University of Bristol's Ultrasonics and Non-destructive Testing research group, it has long been understood that acoustic nonlinearity is sensitive to many physical properties including material microstructure and mechanical damage.
Airport noise can be an emotionally volatile issue in municipal politics. However, Robert Grotell thinks data, not emotion, should drive decisions about airport and air route noise abatement.
In a move that could help pave the way for low-boom supersonic flight over land, NASA aeronautics researchers are presenting their work on how people on the ground perceive low sonic booms this week in Atlanta at an annual event held by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. "Lessening sonic booms is the most significant hurdle to [civil] supersonic flight," said Peter Coen, head of the high-speed project in NASA's aeronautics research mission directorate at the agency's headquarters in Washington, D.C.
Aerion announced today at EBACE that it is redesigning its proposed supersonic business jet (SSBJ) with a larger cabin and more range, reflecting feedback from a recent survey of potential operators. The new aircraft–dubbed AS2, for Aerion supersonic second design–has three as yet unspecified engines versus the two P&W JT8Ds intended for its now-scrubbed predecessor.
Business aircraft cabins are generally not quiet. Not with the turbulent boundary-layer rush of air around the fuselage at Mach 0.85 and the whine of a couple of jet engines no great distance from the comfy chairs. Then there are the pumps, hydraulics, fans, gears, actuators, electric motors, worn bearings and air distribution through the metal ductwork, not to mention the occasional hum of the microwave and induction oven, the rattling of glasses and flatware in the galley and that giant sucking sound coming from the lavatory.
Alto Aviation, a supplier of business jet cabin audio systems, is urging completion and refurbishment centers to rethink speaker grille construction.
"It is one of the most common problems we encounter," according to the Leominster, Mass.-based company. "Sound waves are made up of the compression and expansion of air [and] if air can't move through the speaker grille, then the sound can't get into the cabin."
Alto recommends speaker coverings that are at least 50-percent open to ensure the best audio performance.
Missouri senator Claire McCaskill (Democrat) hit the nail on the head when she wrote to the FAA about easing rules on the use of portable electronic devices (PEDs) in aircraft. Her letter seeks to have the FAA reconsider restrictions on PEDs, citing as one example the fact that many airline pilots are now using switched-on iPads during taxi, takeoff and landing without any problems.
The supersonic business jet development program continues at Gulfstream Aerospace, but until the FAA decides to define "quiet" as it relates to the so-called sonic boom, "We just don't see a business case," said a spokesman.
In a series of patent filings last summer, Gulfstream emphasized mitigating the noise produced by the sonic boom, pointing out that regulations currently prohibit supersonic flight over populated areas.
With the clock ticking toward the start of next year's World Cup soccer tournament in Brazil, construction is set to begin on São Paulo's first business airport, which is expected to help handle the influx of private aircraft for the event. Approximately 40 miles from the city, vegetation has been cleared from the future site of the Catarina Aeroporto Executivo's 8,100-foot main runway and a shorter companion, and bulldozers are scheduled to arrive mid-month when earthmoving permits are issued.
The FAA issued a proposed rule on Tuesday that is aimed at reducing noise generated by new helicopters certified under Part 36 (noise standards) of the FARs. If adopted, the rule would impose standards already adopted by ICAO.

it depends on your AP, your weapon, your gear, and your SBV.
the more SBV you have the higher Shield slam is (imo it should be pretty close to your top damage dealer) followed by revenge/heroic strike, then white damage, then the others.
but it depends on what you're tanking, so if you have the rage heroic strike > white hit, if your rage starved it'll probably fall down to where you are now

The Treasure
How do you explain in words something you treasure or covet? Like the pair of sweats that you have had for way too many years but never want to part from, the handkerchief that was once your Grandma's that sits in a drawer. What about treasures of your children's? You would think they would be simple items like their 'best' drawing 'ever' that they chose to save, their best Lego guy or their first blanket. You can sum them all up as irreplaceable to the owner, right? In our home we have one special treasure, it is a little book that ties together with a piece of string on the front and is red and blue. I can see it perfectly without… [more]
How 'Open' is Open Adoption
When you think of the term 'open' you think of the ability to freely go in and out...like a restaurant displaying their sign 'open'. They don't attach any stipulations to that term such as you can only come in on my good days or you can only eat what I place in front of you...that wouldn't appear to be the 'open' we are all accustomed to. So when you say 'open adoption' does it mean that as a birth mother you can walk in and out of the life of the adoptive parents freely? OR does it mean that the adoptive parents can walk in and out of yours just the same? There seems to be no true definition across the board… [more]
Congratulations on Your Adoption – From Birth Parents
I expect that enthusiastic responses are the natural expectation when adoptive parents announce that they have adopted a child. If you already have a large family to begin with, snide comments probably might inquire as to why you are adopting again. In general though, I imagine that the news of a newly adopted child usually brings positive comments. When most people hear that a child has a new home, they are enthused and happy for both the child and its new family. Indeed, an enthusiastic response is a natural response and should be offered. The adoption of a child is cause for celebration, and I do not quibble with that notion. However, my reaction, and that of many birth parents is sometimes less enthusiastic than… [more]
Celebrating Favorite Moms in Adoption – Kate
We have only met once in person so far, Kate and I. However, we have traded many emails back and forth and have gotten to know each other via those exchanges. Kate grew up in the North Eastern United States with fond memories of berry picking as a child with her sister. I grew up in the South in a suburb of Memphis in spitting distance of Graceland, hanging out at the gate hoping for a glance of Elvis. Kate is naturally somewhat reserved and proper, but most decidely not stuffy. No one would ever describe me as either reserved or proper. Although we both dress in a similar conservative manner, I suspect that I am more of a risk-taker and… [more]
Birth Parents Who Walk Away – Part 2
Part 1 received such great comments, I decided I had more to say on this subject. Deb made a mention of my "glossing over" the fact that some birth parents really do not care about their children, and wrote a post about it too. However, I did not mention that reason because I believe that it is the first reason that generally pops into one's head when birth parents pull out of an adoption. I have seen mention of it numerous times by adoptive parents, and wanted to offer other explanations that I believe are actually closer to the truth in most cases. Certainly, there are many reasons why birth parents walk away from an open adoption. I was trying to… [more]

Don't Miss Karmin LIVE For FREE At Freedom Crossing TONIGHT

I'm digging on Karmin's song 'Brokenhearted', and tonight at Freedom Crossing on Fort Bliss, you can see it performed live for FREE!!!!
Working at 93.1 KISS FM is a lot of fun - we get to go to all our fun events for free, we get to have a blast on the air, and we get to wear pretty much whatever we want to to work. But all that fun and games has a serious side as well, and tonight at Cool Canyon Nights, we get to give back to a soldier who has given so much to all of us.
El Paso and Fort Bliss got some exciting news today - The President of the United States is coming back to the Borderland.
93.1 KISS FM loves, loves, loves our troop at Fort Bliss, and we felt they just didn't get enough love, so we came up with Military Mondays! Each Monday, we're going to single out a member of our local troops, and give them a bunch of stuff!
An El Paso soldier was killed in Afghanistan 13 days ago. Please take a moment to say a prayer for Staff Sgt. Roberto Loeza...
Our troops are out of Iraq, but we need to remember that we still have troops fighting and dying in Afghanistan. Two more soldiers were killed today.
On the same day that the 1st Battalion, 41st Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division held a memorial for three soldiers who died in combat earlier this year, Fort Bliss announced the death of another solider from that Team.
My son Ryan is on his third deployment to Iraq, and every day brings news of more soldiers returning to Fort Bliss from their deployments. What's it like to have a loved one in the military?
THE GHOSTS OF FT. BLISS AND EP PLAYHOUSE: Allan Martinez, Case Manager/Investigator with Research in Paranormal Science of El Paso, and his brother and fellow investigator George paid us a return visit earlier this week. RIPS, if you recall, was the group who investigated Tricia's claims that the building we work in is haunted.
The Army presence in El Paso is strong. We love our troops and their families, and thank God every day that they are willing to serve our country, and sacrifice with their lives to keep all of us safe. Because of that, the Army came to El Paso to showcase Fort Bliss and it's some of it's troops in a series of new 'we kick ass, come do it with us' recruitment ads. Check them out!
It's that time again. About 3,500 soldiers with the 4th Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division will be deployed once again to Iraq this summer. That means lots of fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, sisters, and brothers will be heading back into harm's way, including my son, Ryan.
Yes! THAT President! According to KVIA's website, PRESIDENT BARAK OBAMA IS COMING TO EL PASO!

On Tuesday we touched on the Vols' 2013 offensive MVP — Rajion Neal.
Today, we'll take a look at the other side of the ball, as we name our 2013 defensive MVP.
Tennessee's defense in 2013 was much improved over the disastrous 2012 defensive unit. The Vols moved back to a 4-3 defensive front, after one season in a 3-4 under former defensive coordinator Sal Sunseri.
The Vols' defense still had their bad moments (against Auburn, Alabama and Oregon, but then again those are some of the top teams in the country), but there also times when the defensive unit looked great (the second half against Georgia and against South Carolina).
There are several great candidates for defensive player of the year.
Linebacker AJ Johnson again led the Volunteers in tackles, with 106.
Defensive back Brian Randolph led the Vols with four interceptions.
Both of those guys could easily be the defensive player of the year, but I think there's one guy who's impact was felt even more.
Cam Sutton
Every time there was a big defensive stop, it seemed like true freshman Cam Sutton was right in the thick of it.
Sutton, who was rated as a three-star recruit, saw the field early in 2013, starting all 12 games for the Vols.
While freshmen like Marquez North, Josh Dobbs and Riley Ferguson dominated the headlines heading into the season, it was Sutton who made the biggest impact of all the newcomers.
The true freshman from Jonesboro, Ga finished the 2013 campaign with 39 total tackles, two interceptions, nine passes defended, two fumbles recoveries and one touchdown (INT).
As a result of Sutton's tremendous season, he was named as a Freshman All-American by 247Sports.
Sutton is a player that Vol fans should be very excited about going forward. He's only going to get better and he most certainly has fans recalling another Vol great from the secondary — Eric Berry.

Kalahari president talks about search for money to build in Fredericksburg
Date published: 7/17/2009
Kalahari announced in late 2007 that it planned to build a 700-room hotel, conference center and indoor-outdoor water park on 49 acres in Celebrate Virginia.
The City Council approved an incentives package that would give the resort a rebate on nearly
The performance agreement that governs those incentives requires Kalahari to open by Dec. 31, 2010. But the agreement also includes a clause that allows Kalahari to push back the opening date in the event of an emergency situation.
Acting Economic Development Director Karen Hedelt said the global economic crisis qualifies as an emergency.
She said she has already been talking with city staff members about how Kalahari would go about extending the deadline, and that it would not be a long or difficult process.

Stop learning the hard way
Monday - 11/1/2010, 1:41pm EDT
Collaboration tools have changed the way we learn. Social networks are the "perfect, perpetual classrooms" compared with traditional classroom learning, writes Andrew Krzmarzick in the GovLoop blog.
More people are turning to online searches and forums, and this applies to workplace learning as well. Krzmarzick said he is reading "The New Social Learning" by Tony Bingham and Marcia Conner -- the Federal News Radio Book Club selection -- about how collaboration tools can help us deal with the rapid changes around us.
Krzmarzick quotes the authors, "People need to learn fast, as part of the ebb and flow of their jobs, not just on the rare occasion that they are in a class."
A McKinsey survey supports the idea that effective learning is moving away from the traditional classroom. According to the survey, only one-quarter of the respondents said training programs for employees measurably improved performance. However, most companies didn't even measure performance post-training.
The McKinsey Quarterly reports that creating skilled workers will rely less on the content of training and more on "rethinking the mindsets that employees and their leaders bring to training, as well as the environment they come back to afterward."
A big mistake organizations are making is to outsource community creations, Quy Huy and Andrew Shipilov, professors with business school INSEAD, wrote in the Harvard Business Review blog.
When community development is outsourced, the organization doesn't learn, Huy and Shipilov wrote. Social media may speed up communications and flatten hierarchies, but people in the organization are still communicating as they always have, the researchers pointed out.
"As a result, the company is often very different from the face it portrays online, which almost always gets discovered," according to the blog.
One solution is to bring in new leaders who understand social media. Organizations can also assign social media responsibilities to middle managers who understand the organization's issues.
However, use of collaboration tools does not always translate into a competitive advantage, the researchers found in their study. Huy and Shipilov are now studying why that's the case and how organizations can use social media to their advantage.

Although I am late I still want to congratulate you on your win. Keep it up and lets be buddies. Thanks....Shep
Welcome to GB. Would you like to be buddies?
This is my thought today...When the American people stand up and demand A source of affordable oil you will see oil prices slip.American oil development is expensive if you feel A few thousand US oil jobs are worth $4.oo+gal gas then stop complaining about the price.I belive low gas prices(if they stay low no more than $2.00gal)will promote TRUE job creation-in the millions of jobs.Drop all taxes on gas immediately,lets have A vote to buy out speculators(gasoline is much too necessary for this much fluctuation)Ill pay A thousand dollars today for that.Lets have oil companies guarantee A price for the year say $2.50gal to $2.75gal and if it goes higher prove why-is that to much to ask?We have the buying power of hundreds of millions of people.This is A world market why do we have no say at all?

UNITED NATIONS, Oct 19 (Louis Charbonneau/Reuters) - The push by the Palestinians for upgraded status at the United Nations is likely to succeed, the president of the U.N. General Assembly said on Friday, while warning the United States against cutting U.N. funding over the issue.

In his first major interview since winning a divisive campaign for the largely ceremonial U.N. post in June, former Serbian Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic also said he was seeking to improve coordination between the world body and the Group of 20 bloc of key developed and developing nations.
Having failed last year to secure full U.N. membership due to U.S. opposition, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said last month he would ask the 193-nation General Assembly to approve a less-ambitious promotion of the Palestinian Authority's observer status to "non-member state," like the Vatican. It is currently considered an "entity."
Jeremic said Abbas is consulting with U.N. member states and is expected to call for a meeting on the Palestinian issue as early as next month, after the Nov. 6 U.S. presidential election.
"Most people expect that it is going to be the second half of November," the 37-year-old former Serbian foreign minister told Reuters.
"If they decide to go for it after these consultations, which is what President Abbas announced in his speech in September, most people expect that this is going to pass," Jeremic added.
The United States and Israel have warned the Palestinians against seeking a status upgrade, saying it would be a setback for the peace process and suggesting that it could have financial implications for the Palestinian Authority.
Some U.N diplomats say that the Palestinians have not made a final decision to go for the upgrade and are under intense pressure from Washington and European nations to call it off.
U.N. diplomats and officials say they are also worried about a possible reduction of U.N. funding from the United States, which supplies 22 percent of the regular U.N. budget.
Jeremic said he does not want to lecture the United States, but voiced concern about a possible American suspension of U.N. funding due to the Palestinian issue. Such a suspension, he said, would have "dire financial implications" for the United Nations.
"I don't think this would be in the interests of the United States to cut the financial aid, but I am not in a position to say to the United States what is it they should do," he said. "They know what is best for them, and that's what they are going to do."
The U.S. Congress froze some $200 million in financial aid to the Palestinians after they took their statehood campaign to the United Nations last year. Western officials say further aid reductions by the United States are likely, along with a possible freezing of U.N. funding.
The United States cut funding to the U.N. education and science agency, UNESCO, last year after it admitted the Palestinians as a full member.
A 1990s U.S. law prohibits American funding to U.N. organizations that grant full membership to any group that does not have "internationally recognized attributes" of statehood.
The Palestinians are not seeking U.N. membership. But an upgrade of their observer status could nevertheless be uncomfortable for Israel.
Being registered as a state rather than an entity would mean the Palestinians could join bodies such as the International Criminal Court and file complaints against Israel for its continued occupation.
The Palestinians need a simple majority in the General Assembly for the status upgrade, and predict that between 150 and 170 nations out of the 193 U.N. member states will vote in favor.
Handling the Palestinian debate will likely be the first major U.N. test for Jeremic, the youngest General Assembly president in the history of the United Nations. But he also intends to dedicate much of his time to finding a way to improve cooperation between the G20 and the United Nations.
Jeremic said this could make the assembly more relevant and give some legitimacy to the G20, an informal group that smaller countries often criticize for its lack of transparency.
He said his plan was to "create a consultation mechanism between the G20 and the rest of the world." Jeremic will discuss it with Russia, which chairs the G20 next year, and plans to hold a high-level meeting on U.N.-G20 cooperation in early 2013.
Previous attempts to boost ties between the G20 and United Nations have failed. Jeremic's predecessor in 2008-2009, Miguel D'Escoto Brockmann of Nicaragua, made an attempt to do the same but made little headway. D'Escoto, a left-wing former foreign minister, was a fierce critic of the United States, Israel and the G20, and envoys said that alienated some delegations.
Jeremic made clear he would take a different approach and would be seeking consensus. "This must not be an antagonistic exercise," he said. "This is not about bashing."
A number of U.N. diplomats have mentioned Jeremic as a potential candidate to succeed Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon when his term ends in December 2016. The next U.N. chief is expected to come from Eastern Europe in keeping with a tradition of rotation among the six regional groups of the United Nations.
Jeremic, who became a familiar face in New York at regular U.N. meetings on Serbia's former province of Kosovo, declined to comment on his future plans apart from returning to Serbia, where he remains a member of parliament. But he did not rule out the idea of running for the top U.N. post. (Additional reporting by Michelle Nichols; Editing by Will Dunham)

Install 10.3 after using ext3-formatted Yellow Dog Linux
I've increasingly been finding that the 'zero all data' option fixes a variety of hard drive problems that no diagnostic utility can either fix, or can even detect. Choosing to simply initialize a drive doesn't erase all the blocks on the drive--it just removes all file entries from the directory tracks, and does nothing to actually repair any messed-up blocks that the Mac OS reads as part of its process of interacting with the drive, including the directory tracks, but also including the boot blocks, etc. These blocks can have wrong data, etc., and zeroing all data is the only process that actually erases them (and all the other blocks on the drive) and resets them to a condition that Apple is happy with. How these blocks get bad in this way, I don't yet know--possibly the result of crashes, buggy software, etc.--the usual. Blocks that are bad like this won't be detected by utilities that scan for bad blocks, since these utilities just look for blocks that are so messed up that they can't be read at all--these utilities can't know whether the data stored in those blocks is correct or not, they only detect scrambled "header/footer" identifiers that bracket the data in each block, or blocks that sit on a location on the disk where there's actual physical damage. Another possible thing that zeroing all data may fix, is blocks that are "weak" magnetically, though this is just my theory.
Install 10.3 after using ext3-formatted Yellow Dog Linux
I had this problem too. With Mandrake. This problem can be fixed with MountX, a system extension for OS 9 that enables you to mount the Linux ext2 partition, and then format it. Now the problem is where to find it. It seems that the file was hosted here:
and here:
but it's not there anymore. If you find it, please tell me.
Another way is a Preference Pane for OS X that mounts the ext2 partition too. It's called Ext2 Filesystem. It can be found at VersionTracker.com! I've not tested it yet, but Version Tracker says that it works.. Good Luck!

Medical schools have various levels of selectivity (some are harder to get into than others), and both the quality of their clinical training and level of research are measured. Additional medical training in both residency and fellowships and the facilities they are conducted at also provide a history of the doctors' level of training and experience.
