WHO CARES. It is a comment of what this person thinks of her.
No apology necessary.
Suck it up and move on.

Monster is pretty tame compared to what I would like to call Lezbo Clinton....I think that Barbara Bush, Sr said it best....it rhymes with "rich." I think that Lezbo Clinton and Slick Willie are two of the most evil, vile, vindictive, self-centered, and callous people (I use this word lightly). I hate the Clintons and if "they" win the nomination I will vote for John McCain....because believe it or not I am a Democrat...but I don''t drink the Clinton Kool-Aid. The best thing that the Clintons can do for the Democratic Party and America is to go back to Arkansas and by a trailer in Whitewater. These people are nothing more than white trash with money and power!

Calling Hillary a monster is terrible. Nobody has the right to insult Frankenstein, Godzilla and the others with such a slur.
#6 Mar 7, 2008
A monster is putting it mildly,What about Whitewater, how about the $200,000 of white House furniture,china and Artwork she had to give back after stealing it from the White House. Remember her close friend,Craig Livingstone,she recommended for the position of white House security.He was investigated for improper acess of FBI files of the Clinton's enemies,then Hillarey and Bill denied knowing him,Corruption at the highest level.

These beautiful young minds have so much to offer, and have no clue how this political game works. There have been enough movies on the subjest to educate (art imitates life). These poor young things were too busy to watch apparently, on their way to working hard and getting educated. They are so full of ideals, and one of the most vindictive political machines has had 10 years to be ideal busters. This saddens me. Where is the media? When is "off the record" not off the record? When it can sell more papers.
#8 Mar 7, 2008
What a breath of fresh air it is to know that someone with that much education is a stupid as the rest of us.
Hopefully, this over-educated person will someday use her intelligence by being a thoughtful person, not a big dummy.

Are just a Republican stooge or do you really have no clue as to what has been going on for the past 7 years?(rhet.) I'm betting on the latter, but it's really no choice to make, stooge or idiot.

Yes she a MONSTER
After the insinuations and false accusations against Obama on TV this week, I was not surprised she won, not with honor but I don't think that matters to her.
I am a fairly new voter. Hilary is the right woman or right person for that matter to become President.
I have done my research for the best candidate, because there is nothing worse than an uninformed voter, and here is what I found:
She has alienated and shamed the Democratic Party and shown it to be just like politics as usual. Obama has shown her nothing but respect, respect that she has not deserved.
Too much has been hidden under the rug in the Clinton family -- The Mena Airport drug transactions with Clinton looking the other way, the murders; Luther "Jerry" Parks, a Clinton Chief of Security at Clinton Campaign Headquarters, his home being broken into and files on the Clinton activities were stolen before he was gunned down, yes multiple deaths and alleged suicides and accidental deaths dealing with people testifying in Whitewater; Vincent Foster ruled a suicide despite the wrong gun powder was on his hands, his finger prints were not on the gun, etc., Ed Willey, a Clinton fundraiser, also found in the woods with a gunshot wound 'ruled' a suicide, James Dewy Milam died from 'natural causes' despite being decapitated), John Wilson with ties to Whitewater died of a suspicious hanging, the two kids who saw too much at Mena allegedly fell asleep on the railroad tracks and supposedly 'run over' despite injuries to the contrary, Paul Wilcher the Washington DC Attorney investigating Mena allegedly committed suicide, Ronald Rogers killed while en route to interview for the Clinton Chronicles (which exposes their suspicious activities), John Wilson, preparing to expose Clinton committed 'suicide,' Kathy Ferguson codefendant of Paula Jones committed 'suicide' with packed suitcases next to her, her fiance Bill Shelton committed 'suicide,' Grandy Bough who was Dan Lasater attorney for financial misconduct committed 'suicide,' Suzanne Coleman who had an affair with Clinton (he was her law professor) and was 7 months pregnant somehow managed to commit suicide in the back of her head, the Peter Paul Hollywood Gala campaign felony crimes of illegal campaign financing), I guess it helps if you appointed the judges.
What about her $5 million she gave herself to her campaign, and her not releasing her tax returns. Isn't there a civil suit coming up soon regarding Peter Paul and the 1.6 million he gave her towards her senate campaigning? Why isn't this in the news???? Am I the only one that has a problem with all this?
President Clinton was anti-American and when in England hung around with people from Chech.s communist party who are pro-terrorist. He broke the law and defrauded the military when he was a Draft Dodger. And somehow two of his friends managed to commit suicide,(Yon Couple 'fell' mysteriously and Frank Allard shot to death but ruled a suicide- a hint of the future of his career).
And they want to talk about cocaine? His brother, while using the "N" word (on video) while high on cocaine, said Bill Clinton did so much cocaine his (Bill Clinton) had a nose like a vacuum cleaner. And I do believe Clinton was not an experimenting child. Oh... I guess he didn't inhale...
All this and more can be brought out in the news if push comes to shove. Is that what the Democratic Party wants??
I will not vote for her if she becomes the nominee.

Hey John Re of Tuscon, AZ:
You simply *have* to respond some more! You're snarky low-brow hypocritical pseudo-intellectual attempts at witticism are really quite amusing.

billary sucks just like bill who should have been impeached while he was the so called president, they are both liars, google it all you you clinton lovers. I am white also but i would still rather have obama as the president, at least he is not a liar like the clintons are.....
#18 Mar 7, 2008
If you all forgot, the famous Quote was, I did not have sexual relations with that woman and he was 9 votes away from being impeached, miss cinton will be the same liar as he was, I will be getting everyone in pa to vote for obama, as many as i can anyway....

As found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment_of_B...
President of the United States Bill Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives on December 19, 1998, and acquitted by the Senate on February 12, 1999. The charges, perjury and obstruction of justice, arose from the Monica Lewinsky scandal and Paula Jones law suit. The trial proceedings were largely party-line, with no Democratic Senators voting for conviction and only five Democratic Representatives voting to impeach. In all, 50 senators voted "not guilty," and 50 voted "guilty" on the obstruction charge. The Senate also acquitted on the charge of perjury with 55 votes cast as "not guilty," and 45 votes as "guilty."

'And ye shall hear of red lines and rumors of red lines." Not quite as captivating as the original "rumors of war" found in the New Testament but perhaps more appropriate to the national security arena of the 21st century. In a world of Stuxnet, hackers, cyber terrorism, and organized crime, an increasingly important question for policymakers becomes: Where does a nation establish the threshold, or "red line," to determine when a cyber attack warrants a conventional response?

Pizza Hut - Diner Rating and ReviewsBack to detail
Based on 2 reviews
Pizza Hut is the largest pizza-restaurant chain in India and a preferred destination for fast-food fans in Pune as well. The ambience in all the outlets is bright and cheerful, accompanied with friendly and efficient service. However, the pizzas are not gourmet fare by any stretch - bases can be thick and the toppings are often lacklustre. Still, going by the bustle at these outlets, it's clear that this stuff is most people's idea of pizza. The Classic Veg and Chicken Supreme are the most sold items here. Also on offer are Fiery Masala Magic, Mediterranean Delight, Paneer Bonanza and Masala Cheesy Bites. The Garlic Bread Exotica is extremely popular while the Classic Italian and All American Pan Pizza remain the favourite of many. As Pizza Hut celebrates its 15 years in India, it has come up with 15 new irresistible Indian pizzas.
Pizza Hut is a much better option than Dominos. Their pizza are crispy and more cheesy but still not the authentic taste of Italian pizza. Nevertheless their selling point is the desi combinations in toppings and salads. And I must admit they make a quite good and interesting combination of toppings. The one I love truly is the cheesy bites. They are delectable. You can also check out the thin crust options which are tasty and lip smacking. Hey not to forget, Pizza Hut is a great place to celebrate a party or an occasion..

Wipro has added almost 7 percent positions during the last week. It closed at more than 2.7 percent high. This stock is behaving slightly better than the other heavy weight technology stocks.
"I suggest buying 420 Call in Wipro, at Rs 5, with a stop loss of Rs 3 and hope to sell this at around Rs 12. One would make about 2.5 times of the premium in case of Wipro," he added.

The positions and structure in UCO Bank is such that it can still continue to do better in next week. It is one of the smaller banks, which are quite in demand.
"I suggest buying the 85 Call in UCO Bank. This Call which is available at around Rs 3 can be bought and one can have a stop loss of around Rs 1.5 and hope to sell this during next week at around Rs 7. Here as well the cost to benefit ratio is more than Rs 2," he recommended.

A mobile phone apps' test center unique in the Baltic states is open at Mektory
On February a test center unique in the Baltic states for mobile applications – Smart Lab – was opened at TUT Mektory.
Students' newest applications are available for trying out at the opening. Solutions of start-ups such as FreePee, Rentmarket, Qminder, Lingvist and Code2Kids are presented on the smart devices of the lab. It is also possible to ride an electric bike – parameters of its battery can be observed on a smart device.
The purpose of Smart Lab is to make top conditions available for Estonia's undertakings and the students in order to create new and globally successful applications.
"For the first time, there has appeared an environment in Estonia, where it is possible to seriously test the applications of smart devices. We are waiting for the environment to bring together the best developers, which will in turn increase the number and quality of apps created in Estonia. The Smart Lab is outfitted with top quality devices, which enable the testing of created applications on any platforms," commented Tiit Tammiste, Eesti Telekom's Director of Technology.
"The app lab creates the students studying in Estonia globally competitive conditions for putting together new applications. Tallinn University of Technology and also the IT College have the opportunity to use the environment for study activities and thereby also bring practical know-how to university's subjects. However, for the undertakings, this is an environment where they can test their product before marketing it," said Tea Varrak, Vice-Rector of Innovation and International Relations.
The Lab is located on the mobile and media floor of the Mektory Innovation Center. In addition to the lab there is also a corner for brainstorming and holding meetings, the development work is supported by the mobile and media lab.
There are tens of different smart devices at the new testing lab, which enable testing new applications manually as well as run automatic tests and thereby guarantee the users best experiences. The environment is meant for software developers, students, scientists, testers, mobile companies and undertakings ordering apps.
At the end of November of 2015 TUT Innovation and business center Mektory, the IT College and leading Estonian IT undertakings Eesti Telekom, Samsung, TUT, ASA Nortal, StagnationLab, Applaud, MobiLab and NGO IKT Demokeskus signed a cooperation agreement, which created the apps' testing environment at Mektory. The Center is also sponsored by Microsoft, HP, Valge Klaar and LG. The idea of creating an app lab came about due to IT undertakings' common interest to increase the capabilities and business potential of applications created by Estonian undertakings. The center was created as it is not feasible for each undertaking to build a separate center and the universities lack the necessary infrastructure for a large-volume study activities. By now the creation of the lab has been completed.

President Ilves gave a public lecture on the future of IT
The President of the Republic of Estonia, Toomas Hendrik Ilves, gave a public lecture on the future of information technology on 7 April in the TUT assembly hall.
President Ilves analysed inevitable and progressively increasing dependence of our everyday life on the digital world. As a state largely dependent on digital solutions, we experience and feel the benefits of the digital era, but also the risks long before others.
"The security environment surrounding us deteriorated significantly in 2014. The fact that war is being waged in Europe was also reflected in the cyber incident statistics in Estonia in 2014. But there are other critical issues to be considered. In addition to national defence we need to think about civil liberties and democracy," President Ilves said.
The Head of State gave the lecture at the invitation of the Student Council of the IT Faculty, he was welcomed by the Dean of the IT Faculty, Gert Jervan.
"IT Future" is series of lectures on the future of the information society delivered at Tallinn University of Technology throughout the year. The lectures are delivered by professionals who have an innovative approach to IT and a different perspective compared to the teachers, the aim of which is to diversify students' knowledge. The next lecture will be delivered on 28 April by Kaido Koort and Urmo Keskel from the Certification Centre on the topic "Future identity technologies".
Previously Henrik Roonemaa (Digi), Vahur Metsala (NetGroup), Ralf Morawietz (Kühne + Nagel) and Kestutis Patiejunas (Facebook) have performed at TUT.

Karsten Staehr: Why Tax Fuel?
Karsten Staehr, professor of International and Public Finance, on fuel taxation.
Fuel taxes are taxes on petrol and diesel used for transportation. For what purposes are fuel taxes used in other European countries? Are they used to finance the building of roads?
Some countries earmark taxes on petrol and diesel for road building, public transportation or the traffic police, while other countries do not earmark the taxes for any particular purposes. This is largely a matter of bookkeeping as there is no logic in any particular tax being spent on any particular purpose. Taxes should be levied so that they harm the least and public spending should go to the areas where it is most beneficial.
Earmarking of the revenue from different taxes to particular purposes does not make sense. In the extreme Estonia would then need to introduce a tax earmarked for spending on primary schools, another tax earmarked for street lightning and yet another one for defence. Taken to the extreme, such earmarking of taxes would make it impossible to manage the government budget and it would stand in the way of reforms and changing policy objectives.
What are the consequences in raising the fuel tax to the state, private citizens and to the economy?
The consequences of raising the fuel tax are straightforward. Those driving a car or truck will pay higher taxes and they may perhaps try to drive less or buy a car using less fuel. The government will have a higher tax intake. In this respect the effects of an increase in the fuel tax would resemble any other tax increase.
The effect on the overall economy will be small as long as the tax increase is modest. There might be a bit less car use and this might reduce congestion and pollution and this will generally be a good thing. The costs of some businesses may increase but the effect will also here be small. The planned increase of the excise taxes on fuel is supposed to bring in 46 million euros next year, while GDP, the overall size of the economy, is forecast to be around 22 billion euros. In other words, the planned tax hike amounts to 0.2% of GDP in 2016. In 2017 the tax increase amounts to perhaps 0.3% of GDP. It is unlikely that the planned tax increase would have any major effects on production and employment.
What are the functions of excise taxes in general?
There are two different types of taxes. The first type is broad-based taxes such as social tax, income taxes and value-added taxes. It is difficult to avoid paying these taxes for economically active persons by changing economic behaviour. One would still need to pay income tax if one changes from one job to another, and one would still need to pay value-added tax if one changes from eating potatoes to eating rice. Economic theory posits that broad-based taxes are preferable, because these taxes do not cause people to change behaviour and make people do things they really do not want to do.
The other type of taxes is taxes where a specific product or a specific economic activity is taxed. One example is excise taxes on alcohol, cigarettes and energy. The main purpose of such taxes is precisely to make people change behaviour. Taxes on alcohol might lead to less drinking and this is good for other family members and society at large. Taxes on petrol and diesel may lead people to drive less or buy more economic cars, and this might reduce congestion and be good for the environment.
In conclusion, the main purpose of broad-based taxes is to bring in tax revenue without people changing behaviour, while the main purpose of excise taxes is to make people change behaviour.
Do the high level of excise taxes on fuel undermine the competitiveness of Estonia compared to other EU countries?
The planned hikes of the excise taxes on petrol and diesel are relatively small and will have a minimal impact on the costs of companies in Estonia and hence the competitiveness of the Estonian economy. There could be some border trade problems if the prices of petrol and diesel will be much higher in Estonia than they are in Latvia and Russia. This is a situation which must be monitored carefully.
It should be recalled that taxes on car use are very low in Estonia compared to many other EU countries, in particular our Nordic neighbours. Many countries have very steep excise taxes on the purchase of cars, while the value-added tax is the only tax on cars bought for private use in Estonia. Many countries also charge an annual levy for the use of a car. If anything, Estonia has very low taxation of cars and car use, and this is of course what has led many Estonians to drive large and uneconomical cars.
So we should not be worried about the planned increase in the excise taxes on petrol and diesel?
Nobody likes to pay taxes, but the experience from southern Europe is that it is important that the government runs a prudent fiscal policy and raises taxes to fund new expenditures. One of the founding fathers of the USA summed it all up by pointing out that there are only two things that are certain in life: death and taxes.

Scientists at Tallinn University of Technology have worked out a unique method of producing nanofiber
Tallinn University of Technology (TUT) has worked out a unique method of electrospinning, which makes it possible to produce large quantities of extremely thin yarn or nanofiber in the future.
This material, which is thinner than a hair's breath, is used in medicine as well as in electronics, mediated the news programme "Aktuaalne kaamera".
Tallinn University of Technology has also filed for a patent for its electrospinning device.
Preparation for production of nanofiber is currently on the way in a glass cabinet at a laboratory in TUT department of polymer materials. Once the spinning machine is working it is reminiscent of a spider's web spinning in the wind. Nanofiber can actually be several times thinner than a spider's web or the breath of a hair.
Regular fabric, which is used for making clothes, may consist of a few dozen interwoven spun fibers. Nanofiber may consist of hundreds of fibers. Electrospinning means turning polymer into fibers in a high voltage electric field and even though machines like that have been created before, the one created at TUT is unique.
"The principle of twisting together in a vortex of air, that the speed of air flow is very high, is what makes this machine effective. We can take in large quantities of polymer solution at great speed and therefore create large quantities of yarn, in comparison to technologies this far," explained Andres Krumme, professor at TUT department of polymer materials.
What to do with such a thin yarn when there is no shortage of fabric in the world? Use of so-called smart textiles is still in its infancy, but for example, it is possible to interweave into such fibers polymers, which conduct or store electricity.
Medical industry is also interested in such materials, more so, because the device at TUT is compact and easy to use in a hospital laboratory for example.
"Such fibers could be spun into growth substrates for cells, as cells like to grow on nano-scale fibers, which would be various skins grown in artificial conditions, veins, also medical sewing-threads, which could contain substances aiding healing of wounds," said Andres Krumme.
The electrospinning machine, which was built in cooperation with TUT, several cooperation partners and the Archimedes foundation, was worked on for two years. At the moment it is awaiting a patent.

Why is the price of oil so low?
TUT Professor Staehr talks about oil prices.
* Why is the price of oil so low?
The large decline in the dollar price of oil started in the summer of 2014. At that time the price of unrefined oil was around 100 dollar per barrel and it has since fallen to around 50 dollar per barrel. Both supply and demand factors are behind the decline.
Supply has increased very rapidly in recent years. This is in large part due to the oil shale revolution, where a new drilling technique, fracking, has made it possible to extract oil from layers of shale deep underground. While the oil shale in Estonia lies in the upper layers of the earth, they lay much deeper in other parts of the world. New technology has made it possible to extract oil and gas from shale deep underground and this has led to extra supply of oil from the USA and other countries. Oil production has also increased in countries such as Iraq and Brazil.
The increase in demand for oil has declined due to the weak economy in Europe and slightly lower growth in China and other Asian countries. The gradual switch to renewable energy has also lowered the increase in the demand for oil.
The combination of rapidly increasing supply and a lower increase in the demand has put downward pressure on the oil price. That the decline has been so rapid reflects that supply and demand are price inelastic in the short term, i.e. supply and demand do not react very strongly to price changes. This means that a sudden oversupply of oil must be followed by a large price decline to re-establish equilibrium. However, supply and demand are likely to adjust more strongly over time. Oil companies have in recent months announced postponement of new projects and closing of some high-cost projects, so the growth in supply will likely decline during the next year or so.
* Price of oil is very low. How directly and fast will the price of oil influence the price of gasoline for cars in Estonia?
Changes in the oil price is typically carried into gasoline prices rather quickly. The decline of the oil price has already led to substantially lower gasoline prices in Estonia. Gasoline prices in Estonia have declined by something like 20 percent since the summer last year. This is of course less than the 50 decline in the dollar price of oil in the same period, but this reflects that the dollar has appreciated against the euro and that refining and transportation costs and government taxes have been largely unchanged.
* Is it possible that the price of gasoline will fall even more?
This basically depends on future developments in the dollar price of oil and the exchange rate of the dollar against the euro. It is fair to say that nobody have been able to produce reliable forecasts of either of these prices. This applies to market participants, commentators and academic economists alike.
Numerous academic papers have sought to model the dollar oil price. The modelling uses statistical methods to find the most important factors and how these factors influence the oil price. Factors such as world economic growth, the price of opening new oil fields, the price of other energy forms and interest rates seem to be of importance. However, while it is possible to construct reasonable models of the oil price in the past, none of these models have been successfully applied to forecast future oil prices. Something similarly applies to the dollar-euro exchange; while models may explain the development of the exchange rate in the past, no model or theory is of any use in forecasting exchange rate developments. This empirical finding has been called the Meese-Rogoff Puzzle since it was demonstrated more than 30 years ago. The conclusion is that since it is virtually impossible to forecast developments in oil prices and in the exchange rate, it is also impossible to forecast developments in the gasoline price in Estonia. The gasoline price can go up and it can go down, but the reality is that nobody can predict these movements.
* After the lowest point how fast the price of gasoline will go up? What are the most significant factors?
The experience is that changes in the dollar oil price and in the dollar-euro exchange spill over into gasoline very quickly. This means that if the dollar oil price starts increasing or the euro starts appreciating against the dollar, then the effect will be seen at the pumps in Estonia within a week or a few weeks.

A robot turtle will help underwater archaeologists to inspect shipwrecks
The Robot Safari in London Science Museum will see the world premiere of the underwater robot U-CAT, a highly maneuverable robot turtle, designed to penetrate shipwrecks.
U-CAT's locomotion principle is similar to sea turtles. Independently driven four flippers make the robot highly maneuverable; it can swim forward and backward, up and down and turn on spot in all directions. Maneuverability is a desirable feature when inspecting confined spaces such as shipwrecks. The robot carries an onboard camera and the video footage can be later used to reconstruct the underwater site.
"U-CAT is specifically designed to meet the end-user requirements. Conventional underwater robots use propellers for locomotion. Fin propulsors of U-CAT can drive the robot in all directions without disturbing water and beating up silt from the bottom, which would decrease visibility inside the shipwreck", says Taavi Salumäe, the designer of the U-CAT concept and researcher in Centre for Biorobotics, Tallinn University of Technology.
"The so called biomimetic robots, robots based on animals and plants, is an increasing trend in robotics where we try to overcome the technological bottlenecks by looking at alternative technical solutions provided by nature ", explains Prof. Maarja Kruusmaa, a Head of Centre for Biorobotics.
Underwater robots are nowadays mostly exploited in oil and gas industry and in defense. These robots are too big and also too expensive to be used for diving inside wrecks. Shipwrecks are currently explored by divers, but this is an expensive and time consuming procedure and often too dangerous for the divers to undertake. U-CAT is designed with the purpose of offering an affordable alternative to human divers.
U-CAT is part of an EU funded research project ARROWS, which is developing technologies to assist underwater archaeologists. The technologies of the ARROWS project will be tested in the Mediterranean Sea and in the Baltic Sea, two historically important but environmentally different regions of Europe. "In the ARROWS project, the U-CATs would work in cooperation with larger underwater robots and together with image recognition technologies for discovery, identification and reconstruction of underwater sites, would facilitate the work in all phases of an archaeological campaign", says Dr. Sebastiano Tusa, an underwater archaeologist from Sicilian Regional Government.
In London Science Museum, the team will show the U-CAT robot as well as its interactive downscaled models u-CATs operating in an aquarium. Robot Safari is open for visitors from 28 November to 1 December.

Formula Student Team Tallinn overall winner in Italy
Formula Student Team Tallinn, the joint team of Tallinn University of Technology and TTK University of Applied Sciences became the overall winner in Italy in the competition of electric formula.
The competition took place in Italy, on the Riccardo Paletti motor racing circuit, where 64 teams from 20 countries competed both, in theoretical knowledge and driving tests.
The Estonian team demonstrated high level in defending their theoretical work. Thanks to its marketing strategy business plan and the technical design of the vehicle it was one of the three teams, who reached the finals to present its expertise. The team was able to eliminate technical problems in the speed tests that took place in the last two days and the drivers realized the potential of the vehicle by showing the best times in the Autocross and Endurance races.
Overall winner of Formula SAE Electric Italy
Autocross 1st place
Endurance 1st place
Acceleration 2nd place
Business Presentation 2nd place
Engineering Design 3rd place
Skid-pad 4th place
Cost Report 9th place
Before the competition in Italy the FS Tallinn team competed in Austria (on the Red Bull Ring) and in Hungary (in Györ). In the competition in Austria the team achieved the very strong fifth place. Special prizes (the cups of the 2nd and 3rd places respectively) were awarded for energy efficiency and skid pad test of the vehicle. At the competition in Hungary, the car was unfortunately disqualified from the endurance race since the obligatory light characterising the status of an electric vehicle failed. The failure in Hungary aroused eagerness to fight and to demonstrate the potential of the vehicle and the team in Italy.
The team would like to thank all its supporters, who have believed in the capability of Estonian youth. The major supporters besides Tallinn University of Technology and TTK University of Applied Sciences are Ehvert Mission Critical, E-Profiil, PKC Group, Viking Motors, Auto24, KH Energia Konsult, Baltic Bolt, Brandner PCB, Oshino Electronics Eesti OÜ, Uddeholm, Baltic Bolt, Bestra Engineering, Ministry of Education and Research, Estonian Research Council, SKF, Attila, Scuderia Nordica, Hydroscand and Eliko.

Bonus: Justin Timberlake yuks about John Krasinski getting laid tonight. Advertisement In the Best Director category, Bigelow is up against heavyweights like Clint Eastwood (Invictus) and Quentin Tarantino (Inglourious Basterds), relative newbie Jason Reitman (Up In The Air) — and her own ex-husband, James Cameron (Avatar). According to Women & Hollywood's Melissa Silverstein, whose take we asked for this morning, Bigelow is the fourth woman to be nominated in the category (Barbra Streisand was nominated twice and won once, and Jane Campion and Sofia Coppola each once). She would be the first woman to win. She would be the second woman to win, after Barbra Streisand for Yentl.In the actress categories, it was a good year for women over forty: double nominations for Meryl Streep and Sandra Bullock, including for The Proposal and It's Complicated. (Clearly, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association doesn't agree with Manohla Dargis about the current state of romantic comedies.) Silverstein points out that Marion Cotillard is the only woman under forty in the best actress in a comedy or musical category, up against Meryl Streep (twice), Julia Roberts, and Sandra Bullock. Nancy Meyers' heavily promoted It's Complicated, which doesn't go into wide release until December 25, was also recognized for its screenplay, making Ms. Meyers the sole woman in the category. In the best picture category, she'll go head-to-head with Nora Ephron, to whom she's often compared. Advertisement In the television nominations, Glee led with four nominations, but cable, unsurprisingly, ruled overall. More surprising: January Jones nominated for best actress in a television drama, and Courteney Cox for Cougar Town. Silverstein points out that made-for-television movies are often fertile ground for representations of women, and this year proved it: it included a film about Georgia O'Keeffe as well as Little Dorrit and Grey Gardens, and lots of strong roles for actresses like Joan Allen and Sigourney Weaver.On a less happy note, Jane Campion's Bright Star was shut out entirely, despite critical kudos for Abbie Cornish and Campion's screenplay.

Notes from the Common Core on Reading:
To become college and career ready, students must grapple with works of exceptional craft and thought whose range extends across genres, cultures, and centuries.
Such works offer profound insights into the human condition and serve as models for students' own thinking and writing.
Along with high-quality contemporary works, these texts should be chosen from among seminal U.S. documents, the classics of American literature, and the timeless dramas of Shakespeare.
Through wide and deep reading of literature and literary nonfiction of steadily increasing sophistication, students gain a reservoir of literary and cultural knowledge, references, and images; the ability to evaluate intricate arguments; and the capacity to surmount the challenges posed by complex texts.
Notes from the Common Core on Writing:
For students, writing is a key means of asserting and defending claims, showing what they know about a subject, and conveying, imagined, thought, and felt.
Students must take task, purpose, and audience into careful consideration, choosing words, information, structures, and formats deliberately.
They need to know how to combine elements of different kinds of writing--for example, to use narrative strategies within argument and explanation within narrative--to produce complex and nuanced writing.
They need to be able to use technology strategically when creating, refining, and collaborating on writing.
They have to become adept on gathering information, evaluating sources, and citing material accurately, reporting findings from their research and analysis of sources in a clear and cogent manner.
They must have the flexibility, concentration, and fluency to produce high-quality first-draft text under a tight deadline as well as the capacity to revisit and make improvements to a piece of writing over multiple drafts when circumstances encourage or require it.

I am pregnant with my first and according to my family's birthing history, they have been 30hrs +, babies were born blue due to lack of oxygen, horrific tears, allergic reactions to pain meds, most of these ending in emergency c-sections, cords around babies necks and worst of all, a cousin born with severe brain damage due to lack of oxygen because the docs sent the mother home 3 times before taking her labour seriously.
Based on these experiences of over 10 women in my family, each with multiple births, each experiencing most, if not all of these things during birth, I want to cut out the pain and suffering that both my baby and I are potentially in for and have an elective c-section.
Now my only worry is that the doctor won't allow it as I am seemingly healthy.
I want some back up information to help in convincing him this is the best option for me and the baby to ensure the baby is born as quickly and problem free as possible!
Any advice???

With no striking writers, all of Hollywood can finally dress up in expensive shit and allow us to both champion and mock their fashion choices. Considering we haven't had an awards show in forever (uh, yesterday), we're hoping that the highs will be extra high and the lows will be extra low. The mocking begins — courtesy of the E! channel's coverage — after the jump. 7:57: Cate Blanchett: BEST PREGNANT LOOK EVER. Okay, onto the other Jezebels' liveblog! 7:56: Katherine Heigl is dressed like Marilyn Monroe. I think she could throw down Lohan in a second. Advertisement Advertisement 7:53: Viggo Mortensen: The Unibomber! Also: Penelope Cruz's chest has also sprouted feathers.7:52: Katherine Heigl: Also wearing red. Is everyone wearing red tonight?!7:51: Oh GOD Calista's HAIR?! WHAT HAPPENED? Sponsored 7:50: Casey Affleck is so cute.7:49: Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis! Ellen Page: Going for the flapper look. The hair is all marcelled and she only looks, well, marginally uncomfortable in her dress. Advertisement 7:48: Colin Farrell brought his mommy! She looksproud. Clearly, she hasn't seen his sex tape.7:46: Kimora says "rosette details" are very fashionable, which is why Anne Hathaway's dress is good. Poor Marchesa: Their business surely just went down as a result. Women of Marchesa: I am sorry you must suffer the wrath of Kimora. You didn't ask for the anal probe. (Seacrest, however, probably did.) Advertisement 7:42: My friend Joanna just called Seacrest "the Kato Kalin of low-grade entertainment TV. I agree.7:41: Tilda is the shit. Even if she looks like a boy in a smock. Advertisement 7:40: Ryan Seacrest needs to really stop harassing Cotillard about her accent. Who is he, George Bush? "Sound like an American!" Next he'll ask her if she eats Freedom Fries7:38: Seacrest: Do not mock Cotillard's French accent. Or her dress, which is Gaultier.7:37: Kimora thinks Cameron Diaz is under-blinged. Which, I guess, means she's just right! Advertisement 7:35: Jennifer Hudson looks cute! I hope she dressed herself this year.7:34: Jessica Alba: Seacrest asked her when she is due and I stand by her not sharing. She looks comfy in her dress. Marchesa should strike a deal with all the pregnant celebs. Advertisement 7:33: I am so over Cameron Diaz. Also, her dress looks wrinkled. They need to steam that shit out.7:32: Helen Mirren's arms are sparkly! Seacrest: "The naked man". It figures. Advertisement 7:30: [Reader Heidi has just emailed us: "Rebecca Miller: No. No. No." -Ed.]7:27: MARION COTILLARD: I LOOOOVE IT. But I know there are some who will say she looks like a fish. Speaking of water! Cameron Diaz's dress? Washes her out completely.7:25: How are they hating on Jennifer Garner's dress?! She looks beautiful and classy. Though seriously, isn't an insult from Kimora really a compliment? Advertisement 7:22: Okay, personally? I would be upset if my mom talked about how I was disrespectful and got grounded on TV.7:21: Something is wrong with Miley's lipstick. Maybe she's like me and she has no color in the corners of her lips so when she puts lipstick on it looks freakish . Advertisement 7:19: Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill: Adorbs. Keri Russell looks like a ballerina. Her dress makes me happy.7:16: What is going wrong with this supposed Jennifer Garner interview? Who is heckling Seacrest? [Looks to be Gary Busey. -Ed.] Advertisement 7:15: Did anyone catch Cameron Diaz's tugging her dress up? Awkward?7:10: Why is tonight all about Seacrest's crotch?7:09: Amy Adams is so adorable. And her dress is GORGEOUS. It's Proenza Schouler. And, um, she's carrying a bag with nothing in it. Advertisement 7:08: Jessica Alba's breasts have sprouted feathers!7:07: Hmm, I either love or hate James McAvoy's wife's dress. I love the color. But tiers scare me. But maybe I can get behind it. Advertisement 7:04: Miley Cyrus looks a little MOB. Her mom looks, well, cheap.7:01: Patrick Dempsey looks dapper. [I think that Dempsey doll is what inspired Travolta's hair this evening. -Ed.] Advertisement 7:00: Fun fact: Steve Carrell and Seacrest shop at the same grocery store. And Seacrest is a crazy stalker.6:59:Um, Clooney's girlfriend's claim to fame is having been on Fear Factor? I am wasting my life away, clearly.John Travolta looks...rough. [I think he has a painted-on hairline. -Ed.] But better dressed than Seacrest. Advertisement 6:57: Oooh Amy Ryan is HOT. Amy Adams. Sorry. She is GORGEOUS James McAvoy is also HOT. Damn: Even Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson looks better than Seacrest.6:56: Aw, Ruby Dee! Wearing a ruby shade! She is so awesome. And she looks awesome too. It's the little girl from Atonement! She's adorbs. And her dress is so appropriate. Advertisement 6:55: McDreamy: Looks, well, McDreamy. Seacrest: Still worst-dressed.6:53: Wow: Seacrest is a moron. I can't believe he couldn't understand Hathaway's boyfriend's Italian accent. Hathaway looks gorgeous: Way to go Marchesa. And Hathaway's line about "diaphanous chic" was cute. Ten bucks says Rami Kashou lifts that line. Advertisement 6:46: Aw, Anne Hathaway looks so pretty in red! I prefer her dress to Heidi's. Aw, Jason Bateman. So cute. Also, better dressed than Seacrest. Shocker.Steve Carrell: Also better dressed than Seacrest. Also, being patted down by many men?6:45: Seriously, what is with Clooney's girlfriend? She looks dumb. That's mean, I know. And you shouldn't infer intelligence based on appearance. But she just looks so blank. Also her dress is some serious ugly. Just needed to say it again. Advertisement 6:43: Um, love that the crawl has informed is that Tom Hanks will be wearing sweats and eating Chinese food after the show. And I love the Seacrest blowjob innuendo.6:39: Ooh another brief shot of Kristen Chenoweth's dress: I think it's pretty. Honestly, I really want to hate her (and I shouldn't since I'm a Broadway dork and that's really where she made her name) — but her dress is gorgeous. It's a coppery-purple and strapless but not dumb. And belted! And appears to have a bit of a mermaid shape to it? She looks purdy. Advertisement 6:37: Why are they talking about weight again? Hey, let's play a drinking game where we all drink every time they make an awkward comment having to do with weight.6:35: Does anyone else think it's funny that the weather is "disturbed"? Ooh: They say the umbrellas are out! Let's play count the umbrella holders! Advertisement Uh oh: Kimora loves Heidi's dress? That can't be a compliment. Also, where did Heidi's bangs go? I smell a hairpiece. I mean, she has the big fringe and the shaggy, shoulder length cut. That ain't a giant updo.6:29: Kristen Chenoweth, thankfully, is not wearing her silver smock from the other day. I hope we get a better look at what she's wearing, because it's a little prom, but it's also potentially good. Um, why is Seacrest asking Amy Ryan to punch him? This is giving the the uh-oh feeling. I feel embarrassed for her.Oh look: another man dressed better than Ryan Seacrest! Advertisement 6:25: George Clooney's girlfriend looks cheap. The fact that Heidi's dress has a train AND the giant collar: Just too much. I think if it were strapless and with the train, it would be good. Amy Ryan's navy dress is the best so far: Classy. I like navy: the runway could use more of it.6:20I don't know who Ken Baker is, but he's dressed better than Ryan Seacrest. [Thisis who Ken Baker is.] Whoa, Heidi Klum's red dress. Love the color, but the collar scares me. I am not sure why her dress has a giant protruding collar. They say regal. I say deflecting animals who might attack? 6:10: Giuliana is wearing this purple draped gown; Rami Kashou take note! It is bedecked with a sparkly strap. Also, her mike is all blinged out, which is idiotic. But she looks beautiful in purple — perfect with her skin tone. Ladies with olive skin: wear more lavender! Advertisement Advertisement Oh shit: now Kimora is on. Why is she their other fashion guru? She looks like a kept woman, like she is wearing her dressing gown from the boudoir. She says it's J. Mendel. I say it's Concubine.Oh Jesus, Kimora — Don't call Ellen Page a Plain Jane. That's just rude. Kimora also implied that Miley Cyrus occasionally looks trashy. Pot? Meet Kettle! OH JESUS. THEY ARE SAYING THE LOVE KATHERINE HEIGL BECAUSE SHE'S NOT A SIZE ZERO. And everywhere, women watching start starving themselves. If katherine heigl represents the "average woman" i fear for our gender. Kimora also claims she thinks celebs are getting heavier and heavier. Does she read magazines? Have access to a computer?6:00: Okay, first Fashion Don't of the evening: Ryan Seacrest. Seriously: what the fuck is he wearing? His jacket has olive/copper lapels. And he's wearing a black tie against a black shirt. Idiot.Reply488 repliesLeave a reply

DANVILLE, Pa. – Geisinger Medical Center (GMC) was honored for outstanding performance in reducing readmission rates with an award by Highmark Quality Blue at its Quality Blue Best Practices Forum last month.
GMC has been participating in Highmark's Quality Blue readmission indicator, which has encouraged hospitals to reach out into their communities and work collaboratively with caregivers, physician practices and facilities to ensure that those patients' needs are being met across the continuum. The hospital was presented the award for exceeding all indicator measures and demonstrating the highest percent change in providing defect-free care, comparing first to third quarter.
Kessey Kieselhorst, MPA, RD, LDN, CPHQ, director of regulatory performance improvement, Geisinger Health System (GHS); and Andrea Koch, RN, BSN, manager of quality measurement and reporting, GHS, accepted the award at the Nov. 8 forum at the Four Points by Sheraton, Pittsburgh North in Mars, Pa.
"We would like to express sincere thanks to the team, led by Dr. John Bulger (D.O., MBA, chief quality officer, GHS) and Andrea Koch, who worked on this indicator to provide high quality and safe care for the patients at Geisinger Medical Center," Kieselhorst said. "We are proud of the fact that the care our patients are receiving is resulting in fewer returns to GMC."
