Telehealth, BYOD Gain Momentum In 2013
Anne Zieger is a healthcare journalist who has written about the industry for 30 years. Her work has appeared in all of the leading healthcare industry publications, and she's served as editor in chief of several healthcare B2B sites.
I'll be honest — I'm always a bit skeptical when I read on health IT trends appearing in a general-interest corporate IT magazine. Ours is such a tricky business that the nuances often escape my brethren in the journalistic field, unless of course they specialize in the health IT business. But in this case, an eWeek piece has delivered some useful information, and even caught me off guard a bit.
The piece contends that BYOD issues and the use of telehealth are likely to shape the year in health IT:
BYOD: Bring-your-own-device problems aren't unique to healthcare by any means, but they're certainly become a particularly high-profile issue in healthcare.
In the piece, eWeek quotes Dennis Schmuland, chief health strategy officer for U.S. Health and Life Sciences at Microsoft, who argues that BYOD costs, including privacy, security and licensing for virtualization of software are so high that BYOD may actually be costing organizations big money. Good (and interesting) point.
Certainly, healthcare organizations can't afford to let that keep happening in 2013, and this year, solutions are likely to emerge, Schmuland told the magazine.
Telehealth: While they're in their early stages right now, telehealth services such as American Well's Online Care are likely to get a stronger footing this year, the eWeek article suggests.
Lynne Dunbrack, program director of connected health IT strategies at IDC Health Insights, notes that consumers are getting used to having videoconferencing at their fingertips, given the extent to which webcams are now embedded in laptops and video chat on mobile phones.
Now that they're accustomed to videoconferencing, they'll soon want to use this capability for telehealth visits with doctors, eWeek reports:
Sending a blood pressure reading and seeing a doctor online could be more convenient than taking off from work, Dunbrack noted.
"If you can just go in and have these quick visits, people would be more apt to make these appointments and keep them, and organizations will start to experiment with these services," said Dunbrack.
In all candor, I think both Schmuland and Dunbrack are a bit ahead of the market. I doubt that we'll see a huge expansion of telehealth this year, though there may be some additional uptake. And as for BYOD, I'm not expecting to see any comprehensive solution that providers can affordably adopt this year; after all, trends are still shifting and there's tons of moving parts to consider. But I do think we will see some progress in both areas. All told, the two have offered some useful fodder for thinking about 2013.

This is unusual. The last one was nearly comatose during the end of his contract. Why the change of tradition in an organization that is entirely, and rigidly, traditional?
Views: 766
No way of knowing at this point. We may never know why he is stepping out. Perhaps the pressure on the RCC regarding pedophelia plays a part. This story is so complicated and riddled with holes. It makes for a thoroughly nauseating soap opera. That Ratzinger was head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and later became pope is one twisted story. I have no more proof than anyone else of his direct complicity in a coverup but if I was him, and I had participated, I would pursue the position of pope for reasons of fear, not ambition. It would be the most effective method of controlling the narrative. The internal statute of limitations on communication regarding the issue and the threats of excommunication for breaking the directive raise a stink that will linger for decades at least.
If he is indeed worn down by age, he may have given everything he can to heal this nasty scab. A new, younger pope may be the only hope for catholicism that is increasingly isolated to the southern hemisphere and third world. Maybe energized by youth, the church can shorten the time until the laity forgets.
I personally think it has more to do with the pederasty scandal than with "ill health." Though, his health may be deteriorating to the point where he is becoming too old and frail to control the narrative of the scandal-plagued church. Or, he could have gotten a conscience and decided.....Naw. Never mind. It's not that.
I agree with Greg that whoever the new "Mr. Infallible" will be, they're going to want someone to put this grotesque black eye behind them. However, I doubt it will work all that well. Let's face it. All the world will get is a John Gotti replacing a Paul Castellano as the head of the Vatican's version of the Gambini Family.
I'm inclined to agree with you, Pat. The mess, particularly the child abuse, may have been to much for him. You have to be a cold, sharp and professional liar, to yourself and others, to work with the irrationality and insensitivity of the organization. Dishonesty can be hard, tedious and depressing work for an old person.
Another possibility involves the stolen papers. If copies were made and are now outside of the control of the organization, J. Ratzinger could be blackmailed.
Good that you brought up the infallibility aspect. I'd always thought all actions by the pope were considered infallibile. This whole resignation thing finally got me to look it up when I saw it mentioned in an article. Apparently, even Ratzinger thought he was fallible unless he was performing Ex Cathedra ("from the chair"). Only an official action defining doctrine concerning faith and morals is considered infallible. Ratzinger never issued any such actions. I guess that means that everything he did is now fair game as fallible (nyuk, nyuk, nyuk).
Soitenly! He's a victim of soicumstnace. Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.
that's GambinO, but great comparison!
Ratz', old pal, may the door hit you in the butt on your way out.
Maybe he's resigning for the same reason a lot of people with high public profiles resign: he wants to spend more time with his family
.... oh, wait .....
Best reply ever!
Ok, the college of cardinals has discussed the situation. We really don't need two weeks notice. Go ahead and clear out your locker and we'll make sure you receive anything that might be left behind. Thanks for everything but we'll somehow manage without you.
Of course, there's lots of speculation about who will replace the current pope.
Some things we can be sure of.
He'll be catholic.
Let's see. What else.
He'll be male.
He'll be over 65.
He won't be married.
Beyond that? We should have a pool. I'm going to guess -
European. Because even with the movement of Catholicism to the more poor Southern hemisphere, it's hard for me to think they are ready for a S. America, or African, or Fillipino.
Italian. Because there have been 2 nonItalian popes.
A member of the current inner circle.
That's about all I can think of. Any better guesses?
This is kind of like the old Kremlin watching.

|System: Xbox 360, PS3

|Players: 1
|Screen Resolution: 480p-1080p

Mech lovers, take note: The Armored Core series is returning in 2012 to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and it's looking bigger and badder than ever. Armored Core V—that's the letter V, not the Roman numeral for five, according to some reports—promises players not only a brand-new campaign, but also a persistent online world in which teams can fight over territories. Think Risk, only with huge robots blasting the hell out of each other instead of tiny soldiers controlled by dice rolls.
So far, Armored Core V looks incredible—not only does it feature high-quality graphics for such a niche title, but it offers fast-paced, violent action and awesomely powerful machines. If the idea of piloting a highly mobile tank and blowing up everything in sight appeals to you, Armored Core V should be on your radar for the coming year.
Up until now, the Armored Core franchise has focused on increasing speed; each entry has featured machines that are faster and more mobile than the ones that preceded them. Armored Core V certainly won't slow things down, but it will shift the focus more to tactics. For starters, the mechs will be about half the size they used to be—about five meters tall instead of ten—and the levels will be far more three-dimensional, with carefully crafted terrain offering cover and tactical options. Instead of moving through a field hoping to see enemies before they see you, you'll be able to plan your moves carefully and choose the best positions from which to attack.
What's more, the online battles will feature teams of five mechs each facing off, and one mech on each team will be an "Operator." This means that instead of joining in the fighting, this player will help his teammates strategize from a special map screen. For example, he can set waypoints for his allies, as well as scout enemy positions.
And there are plenty more new features in the online world. Developer From Software is apparently taking some of its experience from Chromehounds—a mech game whose servers were shut down much to the chagrin of its dedicated fan base—and applying it to this franchise. If the sheer existence of a Risk-style world to conquer with mechs doesn't whet your appetite, consider this: Each team can have a total of 20 players on it (though only five can take part in each battle), and the territory you conquer is yours until it's taken from you. Because you probably won't be able to stay logged in 24/7, the developers are also adding an element of tower defense; you can use your spoils from conquering territory to buy turrets and other obstacles that will make your land harder to occupy while you're gone.
Also, in the event that your team loses a battle, you don't forfeit the territory right away; instead, you have a set amount of time to face the other team in a "conquest mission." Yet another feature will be the option to design missions for other players, though it's not yet clear exactly how much creative control you'll have.
There will be other changes to the basic gameplay as well. As I've already mentioned, the developers are keeping the sense of speed from the series' other recent entries, but they are promising a far more violent and visceral experience. So, plan on hearing the frightening noises of metal on metal a lot. They also plan to expand the customization options—mech-loving gamers are used to being able to craft robots to their liking, but Armored Core V will feature about 500 different items you can use to personalize your machine.
Another tweak will be the addition of the "Over Weapons" system. These will be powerful weapons that are capable of killing an enemy in a single hit—though a one-hit kill will be incredibly difficult to pull off. According to the developers, one problem with the older games is that once a mech had a head start in inflicting damage, it was hard for another mech to catch up. The Over Weapons system will give players a high-risk, high-reward option when they find themselves facing long odds. In Armored Core V, fights won't be over until one mech is dead; you'll always have at least some small prayer of winning.
Armored Core V seems like an amazing game, though we won't know for sure until we get our hands on it. But fast-moving mechs, great graphics, violent action, tactical gameplay, and a persistent online world to conquer and defend? That sounds like it's at least worth a shot.

Petong (L) and Hue (R) look for gold as their son stands in the river in Lampang, Thailand, March 25, 2014.
Thai villagers from Wang Nuea, in the north of Thailand, look for gold in the river every year during the drought season. They are able to make an average around 15 dollars per day, however two years ago they reached 200 dollars in one day due to the river level dropping so much.
The workers begin to search for gold at 10 AM and work until sunset, often working second jobs in the day in order to survive.

Prime minister to lead Tokyo group at Olympic vote
TOKYO (AP) — Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will lead Tokyo's delegation to Argentina for the Sept. 7 vote on the host city of the 2020 Olympics.
Tokyo is competing against Istanbul and Madrid. Prime Ministers Mariano Rajoy of Spain and Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey also are expected to attend.
Abe spoke to more than 800 supporters at the send-off ceremony for bid members, confirming his plans to be in Buenos Aires and adding he is "hopeful" Tokyo will win.
Tokyo enters the final days of the campaign facing concern over a leak of highly radioactive water at the crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant.
About 300 tons of contaminated water was found to have leaked from one of the tanks at the wrecked Fukushima Dai-ichi plant on Monday. The leak is the fifth, and the worst, since last year. But Tokyo Gov. Naoki Inose said it does not pose a threat to Olympic plans.
"Regarding food and water in Tokyo there is absolute safety and the data is available," Inose said. "As far as hosting the games, the situation in Fukushima will not affect Tokyo."
Inose said radiation levels in Tokyo are the same as those in London, Paris and New York. Fukushima is 155 miles north of Tokyo.
The plant had multiple meltdowns following a massive earthquake and tsunami in March 2011. The "major accident" was the worst since Chernobyl in 1986.
Japan is pledging tighter nuclear safety. Most of Japan's nuclear plants remain closed after they were shut for safety checks following the Fukushima disaster.

20th Century Staircases
Whilst photographing Art Deco & Modernist buildings, I became more and more interested in other features of buildings, including staircases. What started off as a few photographs here and there, has built up into a large collection of wonderful and interesting Modernist designs. The exciting thing about stairs is that they are walked on everyday, yet it's another example of something that's taken for granted. The style shift from the bulk of the Art Deco period to the post war period where stairs began to demonstrate the use of tubular steel has clearly been visible throughout my documentation. What's exciting about staircases for me is the fact that behind nearly every Modernist building is the possibility of a wonderful Modernist staircase tucked away.Read More

Overuse/unnecessary use of antibiotics increases the overall exposure of bacteria to antibiotics, allowing the germs to build up a resistance to antibiotics, which is bad news. Also, self-medicating with antibiotics (which is possible due to overprescribing them and leaving people with "leftovers"), which often involves taking less than full doses, results in suboptimal levels of antibiotics being present, which also allows bacteria the opportunity to build up resistances.

Post subject: Dining Out: Chicago 2011 Part 6 - Noodles by Takashi Yagihas
Macy's State Street department store is housed in the original Marshall Field and Company Building (111 North State Street, Chicago, IL). Hidden in plain view on the seventh floor is a food court (not to be confused with the basement food court) they call Seven on State. This food court has five quick service restaurants with three of them backed by celebrity chefs: Noodles by Takashi Yagihashi, Marc Burger (Marcus Samuelsson), and Frontera Fresco (Rick Bayless). I had a taste of all three.
There really isn't any decent ramen to be found in Austin, Texas, so every time we go out of town, we always wonder if the location we are visiting has good ramen. Ramen isn't the instant noodle stuff that you pull out of a bag with a spice packet and throw into hot water to steep for 4-5 minutes. It's a rich and flavorful wheat noodle soup that can be prepared a variety of ways, but what makes ramen good is the quality of the broth, the noodles, and the toppings. There are many types of ramen broth and most ramen shops will specialize in one type or another because the broths take a lot of time and ingredients to prepare (some requiring a dozen hours to simmer with pork bones, collagen, and a variety of other meats and fish to produce an unctuous and complex broth with others based simply on a chicken or vegetable stock and seasoned with just the right amount of soy sauce). Besides the broth, the noodles themselves are important to the ramen eating experience. The best are made fresh at the restaurant (although this isn't always possible depending on the scale of the restaurant and the amount of business they do selling ramen - this is why Japanese restaurants which have ramen as an item on an extensive menu often do not have decent ramen) with flour, salt, and alkaline water (
, water that has been treated with edible alkaline salts such as sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, and sodium biphosphate dodecahydrate). The alkaline water (which can also be approximated with a potassium chloride and sodium bicarbonate [baking soda] solution) turns the noodles yellow, gives then a unique mildly alkaline taste (think of the flavor difference between corn meal and masa), and makes the texture of the noodles chewier and more resistant. Lastly, toppings can differ greatly by style and region (just like the broth does) ranging from hard boiled eggs, seaweed, marinated bamboo shoots, and roasted pork loins to canned corn, pickled ginger, and shredded onions.
Noodles by Takashi Yagihashi serves four different ramen: shoyu ramen, miso ramen, chicken ramen, and a mushroom tofu ramen. I chose the shoyu ramen ($8.95) which comes topped with marinated bamboo shoots (
), braised pork loin (
), seaweed, and
(a type of fish cake
). I liked the ramen and would classify the whole package as decent. The shoyu broth was flavorful and well made, the noodles had the right flavor and chewiness, and the toppings were fresh (I always feel let down when I find a ramen place with good broth, good noodles, but the
is stale). Overall, a decent ramen that is worth eating. I wouldn't list it as one of the better ramens that I've eaten, but it certainly satisfied a multiple month long craving for ramen.
I also ordered a half order of pork dumplings for $2 more. These were decent but nothing special.
Tina had the miso ramen ($8.95) which was made with a pork broth which was flavored with miso paste. It came with braised pork, corn, bean sprouts, and seaweed. Because of the style of the ramen, her soup base was richer and more flavorful than mine. I thought it was very good and definitely worth eating again (which she did at a later date when I returned to try Marc Burger).}?>
Along with her ramen, Tina got a half order of the shrimp harumaki spring rolls for $2 more.
While eating at Noodles by Takashi Yagihashi, we were talking to one of the managers of Seven on State and she comped us a couple of tacos from Frontera Fresco. She brought over a cochinita pibil taco and roasted garlic-mushroom taco. I wasn't sure I was going to be able to eat the tacos and appreciate them after a large bowl of ramen, but I gave it a taste and found that I couldn't put them down. The Cochinita Pibil taco (roasted pulled pork with pickled vegetables) was the best pork taco either of us had ever had anywhere. (And, I've eaten quite a few pork tacos.) The Roasted Garlic-Mushroom taco had goat cheese and arugula in it and was also delicious.
A few days later, we returned to Seven on State so Tina could have another bowl of ramen. It was a warm day and I didn't feel like more ramen, so I decided to try either Frontera Fresco or Marc Burger. Since we were planning on going to
Frontera Grill
the following day, I decided on getting the Kobe Sliders ($8.95) from Marc Burger. These were two small burgers made of U.S. Kobe beef (misnamed - I'm assuming they mean U.S. wagyu beef or wagyu mixed-breed beef; there's also no mention of the cut from which the meat was ground) and topped with truffle aioli. I found the burgers to be nothing special. They pretty much tasted like a normal burger to me with the aioli overpowered by the cheese they smothered the burger in. Not a bad burger, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat it. Given the choice (unless I was craving a burger and found myself nearby) I probably wouldn't return to Marc Burger, but I would definitely recommend eating at Frontera Fresco or Noodles by Takashi Yagihashi instead.

By populating its faculty with academics whose research connected to science and technology, Phelan helped focus the school into a humanities and social sciences institution specifically designed to fit within the context of a technological university.
"Tom Phelan had a wonderful talent for bringing people together from diverse backgrounds and supporting them in innovative projects both on campus and in the surrounding community," says Winner, who has been a member of the school since 1985 and currently holds the Thomas Phelan Chair. "His understanding of the ethical and spiritual dimensions of scholarship helped create academic programs in which the underlying human values are strongly emphasized."
The school grew considerably during Phelan's unprecedented 23-year leadership as dean. The faculty increased by 30 percent; two departments the Department of Arts and the Department of Science and Technology Studies were created; and four additional degree programs were added.
"When I arrived on the Rensselaer campus, H&SS had just completed a bold reorganization," says Winner. "Crucial to these changes was a commitment to excellence in faculty research and its close connection to improvements in undergraduate and graduate education."
Shortly after joining the arts department, Professor of Arts Neil Rolnick worked with his colleagues and department head Larry Kagan to develop Rensselaer's integrated electronic arts graduate program.
"Our biggest goal was to create an academic program that set Rensselaer apart from what other schools were offering, in order to attract serious artists," says Rolnick. "Many other universities taught different facets of electronic arts music, video art, computer imaging as separate disciplines, so our emphasis was on teaching them as different faces of the same discipline."
Today the master of fine arts in multimedia/video communications program is ranked 6th in the nation, according to the 2008 U.S.News & World Report guide to "America's Best Graduate Schools." In the fall of 2007, the school admitted the first students into its new Ph.D. program in electronic arts one of only a few doctoral programs in the United States.
"The School of Humanities and Social Sciences was originally created to provide a service to Rensselaer's engineering and science students, in the form of a core curriculum in the humanities," says John Harrington, the school's current dean, a position he has held since 2002. "Tom Phelan helped it to evolve into a school with the academic strength and curricular diversity to stand on its own."

Manchester City midfielder Jack Rodwell hopes to be back from his latest injury setback by the end of the month.
Rodwell pulled up with the latest in a long line of hamstring problems in the first half of last week's Barclays Premier League win at Aston Villa.
The 22-year-old had been making just his second start since returning from a three-month lay-off in January.
Rodwell said: "Obviously you don't want to tempt fate but I'm not looking at this as a lengthy absence and I hope to be back in a couple of weeks.
"Hopefully I can play my part in the run-in and help us win some silverware and end what has been a frustrating season on a high."
The highly-rated Rodwell joined the champions in a £12m deal from Everton last summer but his City career is yet to take off.
His initial performances were indifferent and he then had a short spell out with a groin injury before being struck by more hamstring trouble in October.
Rodwell's early years at Goodison Park were also plagued by hamstring injuries.
He has since worked hard on his fitness and made a number of lifestyle changes to try to eradicate the recurring problem. He insists he is not disheartened by this latest setback.
He said: "I was more upset for our physio department who have been fantastic and have helped me feel stronger than ever before.
"We've had a discussion and we all agree that the best course of action is to continue what we were doing before because it worked so well.
"This is an injury that can strike at any time to anyone and I'm sure it is something that I'll be rid of before too long, but it's an ongoing process and something that can't be rushed."
Manager Roberto Mancini is likely to update on the fitness of two key players before the end of the week.
Captain Vincent Kompany has missed the last seven games with calf problems while striker Sergio Aguero's knee injury has sidelined him for two matches.
Mancini said last week he hoped both would be back in contention for this Saturday's trip to Everton.

Looks like a great night! Fantastic food. But which one was the Warner Bros spy?ReplyDelete
Thanks for a fabulous generic wizard night. Long may the theme nights continue! It was brilliant, original, great food and great fun.ReplyDelete

Aw aren't your parents sweet!ReplyDelete
I'd have come as Moaning Myrtle.
Love that Halloween print on the skirt.
Fabulous post! I love the kettle steaming on dry ice. I think I'd like one of those in my house. Bluedoor Bakery cupcakes are wonderful. Looks like everyone had a "wizard" time!ReplyDelete
- Anonymous3 November 2009 at 21:00
I'm so very pleased the event was a success.ReplyDelete
Can't believe you managed to prep so many pumpkins by hand- that's true dedication!ReplyDelete
Looks like a fab night, generic or not.
Fantastic looking night.ReplyDelete
How amazing. It was the butterscotch snapps though that had me in stiches.ReplyDelete
Lovely post, must have been a great evening.ReplyDelete
Glad the nights went so well!ReplyDelete
WELL DONE YOU in the face of all that added stress/ last minute changes!
Awesome, so glad it went well.ReplyDelete
Warner Brother's completely wouldn't have a problem with some of your customers dressing up as HP characters (just like they wouldn't have a problem with anyone dressing up as HP characters for halloween in general) its only businesses that isnt aloud to use trademarks they dont own for promotional purposes (so alternatively staff wouldn't be aloud to where trademarked costumes)
So, it was a win/win all round for small business and for the common sense of trademark/copyright law!
Oh how wonderful everything looks.Your guests look like they're having a magical time and your parents look lovely!ReplyDelete
wow it looks fantastic! I am mega jealous - you can see just how much effort you went to with the pumpkin soup, the steaming kettle and the cakes - all looks amazing and I love how everyone rose the occassion and dressed up. I love the pumpkin carving competition too! I hope you feel proud - it looks like a great evening and I think it looks like you really outdid yourself! :) (with help from good friends and family of course!) Congrats! xxxReplyDelete
It looks magical - well done!ReplyDelete
- misswhiplash4 November 2009 at 13:41
We had a great time - thank you :)ReplyDelete
(Also - Harry Potter is extremely pleased with the photo you've got up of him, which is almost unheard of...)
Must try the schnapps thing - we don't have a dishwasher though... Maybe will go round to parents' house.
I love the larger ladies asking for paswords...ReplyDelete
If that homemade butterscotch vodka a-la-dishwasher is not the best thing I've seen all week, then I don't know. :)ReplyDelete
What fun! I love reading about your pop-up restaurants, eating vicariously through your posts. Wish we had some pop-up restaurants in Dublin...maybe 2010 will see us getting it together!ReplyDelete
Oh and congrats for not letting WBs get to you! I like the idea of Generic Owl and Generic Witch nights, copyright or not.ReplyDelete
I've waited with anticipation for this post, and you certainly didn't disappoint. Your evening looks amazing and the food, wonderful. Aren't mums and dads great?!ReplyDelete
Wow I read about this in the papers. Sounds like a wonderful night and the food sound amazing.ReplyDelete
This looks like one of the best UR nights yet. I wish I had been there! Good work on the pumpkins, carving out one is enough - I can't believe you did that many. I even got given a special 'pumpkin carving kit' once. Still a nightmare.ReplyDelete
Not sure if you have any Afrikaans speaking friends to translate Ms Marmite Lover, but this is quite amusing...ReplyDelete
Thank you everybody for your comments...I still need to post up the pic of the chocolate frogs which worked very well with the fizz pop filling...carried on crackling.ReplyDelete
My guests were wonderful and made such an effort to dress up.
The pumpkins...aargh....but the effect was worth it...
I'm going to try other dishwasher cocktails...how about white chocolate vodka? Reese's peanut butter cups vodka?
Yes parents are the best!
Justin: tried watching it...looks funny but the afrikaans is a bit beyond me :)
I would love to hear what you think of this post! I try to reply to every comment (if there is a delay, I am probably away from an internet connection or abroad)

December 3, 1926 - January 8, 2013
Middletown, NY
Beverly Cohen, a lifelong resident of Middletown, New York passed away on January 8, 2013. She was 86 years old. Bev, as fondly referred to by friends and family, was born on December 3, 1926 at Thrall Hospital in Middletown. She was the only child of Norman "Jimmy" Evans and Belle (Secall) Evans.
Bev attended school in Middletown and graduated from Middletown High School (MHS), Class of 1945. In 1948, she married Herbert Cohen of Middletown (predeceased 1972). Together, they had two children, a daughter, Lynn (predeceased in 2004) and a son, Bruce, who resides in Warwick, New York with his wife Elizabeth Tornes. In 1947, Bev was employed as an operator with the Orange County Telephone Company. She took a leave from work in 1949 to begin a family and raise her children. Bev returned to work in 1958 and retired in 1989. She remained with the telephone company for more than 30 years. At her retirement party in 1990, Beverly's operator number 32 was also retired in recognition of her performance, dedication and commitment to her job. Throughout her employment, Bev witnessed the transformation and growth of a small telephone service provider into a major telecommunications corporation. Bev's job helped shape her identity and enabled her to connect from the "Information Line" switchboard to all segments that comprise the Middletown community and beyond. She especially enjoyed working the summer months with temporary workers who were students at MHS. She would rejoice like a proud parent when she read that one of "the girls" had gotten a job, opened a business, graduated from college, or got married. Bev enjoyed maintaining friendships with her co-workers and those MHS classmates that remained in Middletown throughout her life.
Bev loved the City of Middletown, especially the Second Ward where she resided most of her life and "downtown", a local's designation for the city's business district. She embraced the city's history, its institutions, its diverse neighborhoods, and its people. She liked to provide an oral history to a new business owner or resident, and recall businesses, restaurants, and families from earlier years that previously occupied their building. Bev weaved the past into the present, especially during her senior years. It created for her social order, belonging, security and community.
Bev was an avid reader and word search puzzle aficionado. She appreciated contemporary music; preferred actors from a bygone era; hoped for a Triple Crown winner each spring; rejoiced in the sun every summer; and dreaded winter but refused to relocate to a warmer climate. She enjoyed museum visits with the Middletown Arts Council, performances at the Paramount Theater, vacations with Green's Travel and borrowing books from Thrall Library. Bev supported several local charities and civic organizations. She served as a Reader for Radio Vision through Ramapo/Catskill Library and joined groups such as Mulberry House, Middletown Historical Society, CWA Retirees and others. Bev encouraged her children to accept others without bias and prejudice; explore other cultures and traditions; and, never forget their origins and where they came from.
Beverly's son, Bruce, would like to thank his mom's "Middletown Network" and those that cared for and comforted his mother during her declining health after hip surgery in March 2012. These include, St. Theresa's Rehabilitation Center, Hope Gardens of Florida, New York, Hospice of Orange and Sullivan Counties, and Dr. John McDermott of Horizon Medical Group.
Beverly Evans Cohen will be buried next to her mother in Hillside Cemetery in Middletown, New York at 11 a.m. on Friday, January 11, 2013.
Funeral arrangements are under the direction of Applebee-McPhillips Funeral Home. There will be no visitation.

Weird. How else to describe an approaching season without baseball experts drooling over the Yankees? Just ... weird.
Weird. How else to describe an approaching season without baseball experts drooling over the Yankees? Just ... weird.
But these are the 2013 Yankees. They are so old, so vulnerable, that picking them to win the East represents going out on a limb.
The Yanks haven't approached a season with such modest expectations from outsiders since ... when, 1996? Paul O'Neill later described '96, the start of the most recent pinstripe dynasty, to The New York Times as "the only World Series where, if we'd lost, everybody would have still said we had a good year. After that, it was World Series or nothing.''
Seventeen seasons and 16 playoff berths since the spring of 1996, Yankees fans should similarly temper their expectations. The Yanks have embraced a championship-or-bust approach for the better of two decades. No other team in major sports has shared such a distinction year in and year out.
But it's about time to view the Yankees' title chances realistically. Title-or-bust must be replaced by words such as "potential" and "hope." Suddenly the Yanks could be — take a moment to brace for the word — underdogs.
The 2013 Yankees arguably have broken down before the season. Age? The product of unexplainable baseball luck? The reasons don't matter. All we know is that Mark Teixeira will miss at least the first month after getting hurt swinging in a batting cage.
We know that Curtis Granderson will miss a month or so, that Alex Rodriguez will be out until who-knows-when, that Derek Jeter will start the season on the disabled list, that Phil Hughes has a cranky back.
The 1996 Yanks entered the season worried about Joe Torre replacing Buck Showalter, Tino Martinez replacing Don Mattingly and Joe Girardi replacing Mike Stanley. Now we are worried about Girardi following Girardi, Lyle Overbay replacing Teixeira and Chris Stewart/Francisco Cervelli replacing Russell Martin.
Talk about real worries.
Can anyone remember the last time Yankees' management unearthed more baseball stones to find productive players leading to their season opener? Travis Hafner? The designated hitter was invented for Hafner. He is an injury-in-waiting, essentially Eric Chavez without a glove. Hafner has played more than 100 games once in the past five seasons. His high-water marks are 22 home runs and 92 RBI seven years ago.
Journeyman Ben Francisco, signed a couple weeks back? He was released by the Indians. He has a .257 batting average with 49 home runs in 11 seasons.
Brennan Boesch? A solid fourth outfielder.
Vernon Wells? He is the most attractive recent addition despite hitting .230 last year, .218 the year before that.
There is cause for optimism. CC Sabathia, Hiroki Kuroda and Andy Pettitte would delight most teams as their top three starters. Hughes appears to be coming around. We must expect Mariano Rivera to be his usual brilliant self until proven otherwise. The rest of the bullpen is top-notch.
Stretching the boundaries of optimism has Michael Pineda returning to form for the second half. But counting on Pettitte to approach 200 innings also constitutes a stretch.
And have we forgotten that the Yankees batted .188 in the playoffs last season, .157 while being swept by the Tigers in the American League Championship Series? And that the AL East should be considerably more competitive this year?
When you put it all together, the injuries and the ages and the holes, these Yankees seem more an underdog than favorite to make the playoffs. Sounds weird, right? It is weird.
Very weird.

From Openmoko
Who I am?
My name is Sven Klomp. I'm a PhD. Student at Leibniz Universität Hannover.
Why Openmoko/Freerunner?
Because of the very nice case :-)
I'm mainly interested in the PIM functionalities of Openmoko. My SonyEricsson K750i isn't suited as organizer (who programmed a calendar without recurrent events?!?).
Last year I started with Geocaching, and I think the Neo will be the perfect platform for it. I imagine a software, that downloads all important information from the website so I can fall back to the hints.
I also add some streets to Openstreetmap. Sometimes it is a little bit frustrating: You are driving the half day to collect GPS tracks and when you start to edit the tracks with your computer you notice that half of the streets were already recorded. With the Freerunner, I want to download some map data from Openstreetmap and then drive directly to the blank spots.
My notes
- Get latest kernel and rootfs image (MS5)
- Upload them to the phone (dfu-util)
- Boot and be happy
- Activate USB-Networking the quick way:
ifconfig usb0 192.168.0.200 netmask 255.255.255.0
- Patch Zhone for VCF addressbook
- Install Cellhunter
- It needs python-pygtk but this package isn't available in the feeds. Therefore add src/gz shr-armv4t http://build.shr-project.org/shr-testing/ipk//armv4t/ to opkg config
- However, some depdendencies are screwed up, therefore GTK+ have to be removed:
opkg remove -force-depends gtk+ import sys sys.path.append("/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0")

Boyce Ditto Public Library - 7 Matching Results
Search Results
- Crazy Well, Mineral Wells, Texas
- This is a picture of the first Crazy Well drinking pavilion, the first such facility in the city. When a Mr. Wiggins dug the third well in town, it was frequented by a "crazy woman" who was eventually cured of her dementia. Because of the word-of-mouth publicity, people came from miles around to drink the health-giving water. A house was built around the well for the convenience of the customers. The highly successful business attracted competition, and one of the most popular health spas in the nation grew from these beginnings.
- [An Early Bird's-Eye-View of Mineral Wells]
- A very early panoramic view of Mineral Wells (taken around 1882) from East Mountain and looking southwest is illustrated here. Locations identified by numbers are: 1: Judge Lynch's cabin, now Lynch Plaza at S. Oak Avenue and E. Hubbard Street; 2: The Mesquite Street well, middle of NE 1st Avenue (the second well in town, now [2008] abandoned); 3:The current center of downtown Mineral Wells, showing the intersection of Oak Avenue (US 281) and Hubbard Street (US Highway 180); 4: The current Fire and Police Departments; 5: S. Oak Avenue; 6: The Southern House Hotel; 7: The present "Business District", NE 1st Avenue; and 8: N. Oak Avenue (a residential area at the time.)
- [An Early Panoramic View of Mineral Wells, Texas: 1882]
- This photograph is an early panoramic view of Mineral Wells (taken approximately in 1882) from East Mountain, looking Southwest. Numbers on the photograph represent specific locations: 1. Judge Lynch's cabin, location of the first mineral water well; 2. N E 1st Avenue (second water well dug); 3. Oak Avenue and Hubbard Street; 4. Present location of the Fire and Police Station; 5. South Oak Avenue; 6. The Commercial Hotel (present location of the Gas Co.) 7. NE 1st Avenue business district; 8. North Oak Avenue. Note: The picture identifies number 6 as "The Commercial Hotel", but that hotel has been determined to have been located on South Oak Avenue. The hotel shown in the picture was the Early-Southern Hotel, which an 1893 guidebook clearly states was on Hubbard Street. The guidebook goes on to give the hotel's further location as "[O]n the same block with the post-office [sic] and three blocks from the depot." A Mr. Early is named as the proprietor.
- [The Golens Livery Stable]
- This picture, labeled on the back as "Golens Livery Stable", shows a wagon, three hacks and a buggy, each pulled by a two-horse team. The hack on the left (the white horse on the right of the team) has a "Green's Transfer" sign on it. The hack in the middle has a passenger and the one on the right has three. The man in the foreground is likely the livery stable's owner. An assistant is visible in the stable doorway. Hacks and buggies were typical of the transportation that Mineral Wells hotels sent to Millsap to meet every passenger train on the Texas & Pacific Railroad, from the time the T&P came through Palo Pinto County in 1882 until the Weatherford, Mineral Wells & Northwestern Railroad began service between Weatherford and Mineral Wells on January 1, 1897.
- Gordon Weekly Courier. (Gordon, Tex.), Vol. 3, No. 41, Ed. 1 Friday, May 20, 1887
- Weekly newspaper from Gordon, Texas that includes local, state and national news along with advertising.
- [In Front of the Schoolhouse, ca. 1885]
- The back of this photograph shows three notes: 1: "Taken in front of school house about 1885." (This photograph appears to be of the students and teachers of Mineral Wells' first public school, the "Little Rock Schoolhouse," built in 1884.) 2: "Donated by James H. Perry", and 3: "Some are dead. Some are married, and we are all scattered, never to meet on earth again." The school illustrated here was built in 1886, and a Mr. R.E. Hendry took up teaching duties--after he was almost single-handed in having the building set up. Land was procured in 1884, and stones from Rock Creek were provided, and cut at the construction site to make Mineral Wells' first permanent school building. It was a band hall, a choral hall, a gymnasium, and a storage place after it was a school. It now is the home of the Mineral Wells Heritage Society.

What Do You Know About Poverty in Missouri?
4. Missouri employers must pay at least the:
c. Correct!
Employers must pay the higher of the two. Starting January 1, 2013, the Missouri minimum wage increased to $7.35 per hour. Starting in July 2009, the federal minimum wage increased from $6.55 per hour to $7.25 per hour. Because Missouri's minimum wage exceeds the Federal minimum wage, employers are obligated to pay $7.35 per hour (the higher of the two wages).
The Missouri minimum wage will adjust for inflation on January 1, 2014. Again, whichever of the two wages is higher will apply.

A record 1,226 fans packed Ken Dugan Field Friday for the 104th Battle of the Boulevard between the Lipscomb Bisons and the Belmont Bruins. Unfortunately for Lipscomb fans, the Bruins scored the first four runs of the game in the top of the second and the Bisons were not able to come back falling 4-3.
Rex Brothers took the mound for the Bisons with a record of 7-1. The freshman's only loss of the season was seventy-six days earlier in his first start of the season against Evansville.
"We knew coming into today that second place will come down to this series," Brothers said. "The game of baseball is great because each game could be an up or down game."
Brothers struggled early in the game with control problems. Derek Wiley led off the inning with a walk and then advanced to third on two consecutive wild pitches. After a Ben Petsch walk, Kane Simmons singled in a run. Carlo Testa loaded the bases with another single. Brady Maniford then singled in two runs. Two batters latter, the leadoff hitter Matt Reynolds batted in a run on a sacrifice fly line drive to left field.
"Rex Brothers has pitched himself out of trouble multiple times this season," Lipscomb Coach Jeff Forehand said. "He got in a little trouble, but we should be able to hit and score enough runs to overcome one bad inning."
Lipscomb placed their first run on the board in the bottom of the fourth inning when Justin Sanders doubled to center field scoring Ryan Wilkins.
In the sixth, the Bisons placed two runners on the base path when Casey Bond singled to start the inning followed by a Justin Sanders walk. Brandon Cadavid advanced the runners a base with a perfectly placed sacrifice bunt on which he almost reached safely. Andrew Nickerson then grounded out to third base allowing Casey Bond to score.
Lipscomb struck again in the next frame. Shane Simpkins doubled to right center to start the inning. Ben Meador then replaced Belmont starter Charles Lee and promptly got two outs on the board. Casey Bonds singled through the left side scoring Simpkins.
The Bisons had multiple opportunities to place more runs on the board. They left eleven runners on the base paths.
Rex Brothers pitched 7 innings giving up four earned runs off of eight hits and two walks. Brothers struck out three falling to 7-2 with a 3.82 earned run average. Chris Burnett threw two innings of perfect relief. He struck out four including the side in the top of the ninth.
Charles Lee pitched six innings allowing three runs, two earned, off of five hits and four walks. Ben Meador threw two perfect innings of relief striking out two and giving up two hits and one walk. Chris Manning closed the game for his ninth save of the season.
Lipscomb leads the Battle of the Boulevard series 65-39.
Lipscomb falls to 25-19 overall and 9-7 in Atlantic Sun play. Belmont improves to 25-18 overall and 12-7 in conference play.
The Bisons are back in action Saturday at 6 p.m. in game two of the three game series against the Belmont Bruins. Lipscomb closes out the Battle of the Boulevard series at Ken Dugan field Sunday at 1 p.m.
Saturday afternoon at 4 p.m. in Lipscomb's Ezell Center, Roy Pardue will be inducted into the Lipscomb Athletic Hall of Fame. For seventeen years Coach Pardue served as the highly-regarded pitching coach for the Bisons under Head Coach Ken Dugan. Dinner will be served. The cost is $10.00 and the dress for the event is casual.

Gardner Mayor Mark Hawke this morning made the trip to the Franklin headquarters of the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association and turned in the trophy given to the Gardner High swim team for its sectional championship in February. Gardner's title was revoked in October for allegedly violating MIAA rules. The MIAA demanded then that the school return the trophy.
Gardner Superintendent Carol Daring said this morning she plans to appeal the MIAA's ban on all Gardner High winter sports teams competing in the postseason. However, an MIAA spokesperson said there is no formal appeal process.
The mayor, in an interview after he turned in the trophy, said the city will not give up its fight to overturn the ban on postseason play. The mayor, who serves as chairman of the School Committee, said he has asked City Solicitor John Flick to pursue the case in the courts.
"If that's what we have to do, then we'll do it," Hawke said.
Gardner's 2012 sectional swim title was revoked when the MIAA determined that the Gardner may have broken the MIAA's "bona fide team" rule by allowing swimmers to skip school practices to attend club events.
The school and its former swim coach, Don Lemieux, have denied wrongdoing.
Mr. Hawke did not meet with MIAA officials today. With several members of the media looking on, he walked into the agency's offices and handed the trophy to a staff member. He asked for a receipt.
MIAA executive director Richard Neal left the building before the mayor's arrival, but not before telling reporters that Gardner had no chance of having the ban lifted. The efforts by the mayor and superintendent were "too little, too late," he said. Mr. Neal called Gardner officials' actions a "blatant act of defiance."
Mr. Hawke said he wasn't aware that the MIAA has set a deadline for the trophy's return. Originally, the MIAA had said the trophy had to be returned by Nov. 26, but Gardner didn't have its appeal heard -- and denied -- until two days later.
After that, Mr. Hawke said the trophy was forgotten about.
"Shame on Gardner, shame on me for not double-checking on it," he said. "But never did they say that if don't return it by this deadline here's the punishment. They never said anything like that."
Ms. Daring said earlier that current student-athletes are being unfairly punished.
"Let the kids complete," she said. "We've made every attempt to move on from this. We want to move on from this."
The mayor was disappointed he didn't have a chance to talk with Mr. Neal this morning.
"That's why he left because he doesn't want to answer any of these questions," Mr. Hawke said. "How can the MIAA have all this authority and be so vindictive against kids? ... I'll come down here and shine Mr. Neal's shoes and wash his car if it's able to get the kids to compete (in the postseason). This is supposed to be about the kids."
Mr. Hawke said Gardner High student-athletes are taking the news hard.
"They can't believe that this decision (from 2012) is affecting them," he said. "It's effecting the hockey team, it effecting the indoor track, it's effecting the basketball teams – why? The year on (the trophy) is '12, and it's a swimmer."

A bocce throw, when the ball is thrown overhand as hard as possible to know the other teams ball away from the palino. The name Ruffe stems from the generic date rape drug name, and with both the date rape drug, and this throw, the main purpose is to knock out the target.

Lady Bucs begin conference season against the Spartans
SPARTANBURG, S.C. and CULLOWHEE, N.C. (March 15, 2013) – The ETSU women's tennis team has a full road slate this weekend, opening Atlantic Sun play Saturday against USC Upstate and heading back to non-conference action versus Western Carolina on Sunday.
Saturday's A-Sun opener between ETSU (4-4) and USC Upstate (8-3) is scheduled for 10 a.m., from the Upstate Tennis Complex. Sunday's matchup with WCU (1-8) takes place from the tennis courts at the Catamount Athletic Complex with first serve scheduled for 1 p.m.
The Lady Buccaneers will be looking to rebound from a 0-2 weekend. UNC Wilmington scraped out a decision, 4-3, last Saturday in Wilmington, N.C., and No. 61 College of Charleston overpowered the Lady Bucs by a final of 4-1 on Sunday.
Freshman Lyn Yee Choo (Kuching, Malaysia) was the only bright spot, winning both her singles matches through ETSU's two losses. Choo got by UNCW's Olga Blank, 6-0, 6-1, and CofC's Jenny Falcone, 6-0, 6-4. Each win came at the No. 4 position and extended Choo's winning streak to five matches. The Malaysian freshman also became the first Lady Buc to reach the 20-win plateau (20-7 overall) and is 7-1 through the dual season.
Senior newcomer Antonia Kolovou (Larisa Greece) suffered her first loss of the dual season against the Seahawks, falling to Angie Sekely one court one, 6-4, 6-1. The defeat ended Kolovou's eight-match winning streak as she now stands at 14-9 overall, 6-1 dual. Kolvou's Sunday matchup went unfinished.
The weekend outlook is good for the Lady Bucs in terms of their pattern this year. Through its eight matches, ETSU has a trend of winning two and losing two before coming back to win the next pair.
Scouting the Spartans
The rebound will have to start Saturday against the Spartans, who ride a season-long four match winning streak. Along the way, Upstate has defeated Converse (D II), Coastal Carolina, Jacksonville State and Coastal Georgia (NAIA). The streak is Upstate's longest since 2010 when it won six in a row over an 18-day span.
Leading the way is two-time A-Sun Player of the Week Constanze Kuerten at 8-2 in singles through the dual season. Kuerten is 3-1 at the No. 2, 5-1 at the No. 3 and pairs with Allison Beeler in doubles for a perfect 6-0 spring mark. Isabel von Stryk is another top Spartan to also be honored as the conference's player of the week. von Stryk is 6-3 in singles and Upstate's primary No. 1 player with a 4-2 mark in those matches.
Scouting the Catamounts
Western Carolina won its first match of the spring season, 5-2, at Presbyterian, but has dropped the last eight heading into this weekend. The day prior to taking on the Lady Bucs, WCU hosts Elon in Southern Conference play where it currently is 0-4. The Catamounts' latest defeats came last weekend at Wofford and NC Central. Both matches ended 4-3.
Top singles player Stacia Kissell holds WCU's best record at 4-5. Kissell has played all nine of her contests at the No. 1 and also pairs with Karen Jimenez at No. 2 doubles. Jimenez is the Catamounts' No. 2 singles player and is 3-6 on the spring season. Erin Maguire and Nicole Nielly are the only two heading into the weekend on a win.
Series History
ETSU is 4-1 all-time against the Spartans since they joined the A-Sun in 2008. USC Upstate won the first meeting, 5-2, but the Lady Bucs have won the last four, including a 7-0 trouncing last year in Johnson City. The Lady Bucs have won the last five meeting with Western Carolina. The two sides met last season for the first time since 2005 with ETSU coming out on top, 6-1, at the Buddy Hartsell Tennis Center. WCU's last series victory came in 2002, 4-3, in Culowhee.
Full match recaps with printable box scores will be posted at the end of each day to ETSUBucs.com.

Actually in the batch of Lego boxes that are part of the Survey are 4 of the Indiana Jones sets. and actually NONE of them are for the new movie. 3 of them are from Raiders of the Lost arc. A large set depicting the temple with the Golden Monkey head that comes Jock and a Biplane. The Second is the Map Room which they call the "Snake pit", third is the Treasure Pursuit (Indy pusuing the Truck w/ the Arc), and the 4th set is from Last Crusade. it's called Motercycle Pursuit and it's Indy and his father (yes a Sean Connery Mini-fig) plus 2 Nazi Motercycles. I can only hope we see a good couple Temple of Doom sets with a lego Short Round
Four playsets based on the classic trilogy are slated to launch in January 2008. Three sets based on iconic scenes from Raiders of the Lost Ark include: Temple Escape ($49.99 USD) which brings the legendary rolling boulder scene to life in LEGO form as Indy faces spiders and poisoned darts in his search for the Golden Idol of Fertility. With Race for the Stolen Treasure ($29.99 USD), kids build two desert vehicles and recreate Indys truck-hopping fight to save the treasure. Indiana Jones and the Lost Tomb ($19.99 USD) recreates the eye-popping suspense of Indy rescuing Marion from slithering snakes in an Egyptian tomb. And based on Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade action, Motorcycle Chase ($9.99 USD) depicts the scene where Indy and his father escape with the map to the hidden temple.Four more constructible playsets based on the fourth movie will launch in May 2008, with suggested retail prices ranging from $9.99 to $79.99 USD.
That said, I am having trouble containing myself about this stuff. Most eagerly anticipated toy line for me since I was waiting for the new SW line to take off.
I found about 20 small motorcycle Indy LEGO sets last night at TRU. 2 bikes/2 figs and a roadblock.
