NEW YORK, Feb. 21, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On February 21, the American Geriatrics Society (AGS) released its list of "Five Things Physicians and Patients Should Question," as part of the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) Foundation's national Choosing Wisely® campaign. Choosing Wisely aims to spark conversations between physicians and patients about utilizing the most appropriate tests and treatments and avoiding care that may provide no benefit or may cause harm, resulting in unnecessary healthcare costs. The AGS is pleased to join the ABIM Foundation, 25 other medical societies, Consumer Reports, and many other stakeholders in support of Choosing Wisely.
The AGS convened a "Choosing Wisely Workgroup," which reviewed current medical research and surveyed over 6,000 AGS members and other experts, to determine what potentially unnecessary or harmful treatments are most often recommended to older patients. After deliberations with experts in geriatrics and related specialties, and through a final review process with its committees and leaders, the AGS identified the following five recommendations:
- Don't recommend percutaneous feeding tubes in patients with advanced dementia; instead, offer assisted oral feeding.
- Don't use antipsychotics as the first choice to treat behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia.
- Avoid using medication to achieve hemoglobin A1c less than 7.5% in most adults 65 and older; moderate control is generally better.
- Don't use benzodiazepines or other sedative-hypnotics in older adults as the first choice for insomnia, agitation, or delirium.
- Don't use antimicrobials to treat bacteriuria in older adults unless specific urinary track symptoms are present.
"Due to age-related physical changes, many older adults respond differently to medications and other interventions than younger people. And because older people—particularly those with multiple, chronic conditions—are underrepresented in clinical trials, judging the appropriateness and risks and benefits of treatments can be more difficult for clinicians, older adults and their caregivers," said Paul Mulhausen, MD, vice-chair of the AGS' Clinical Practice and Models of Care Committee and chair of AGS' Choosing Wisely Workgroup.
As part of the Choosing Wisely campaign, the AGS and the AGS Foundation for Health in Aging have published a compendium of professional and public resources about the society's "Five Things," which can be found at americangeriatrics.org and healthinaging.org.
"Our involvement in Choosing Wisely complements other recent AGS initiatives to improve appropriate prescribing for older patients, and to enhance the overall quality of care for the more than 50% of people over 65 who have multiple, chronic health problems," said AGS President, James T. Pacala, MD, MS. "Choosing Wisely is an excellent step forward in supporting conversations between healthcare providers and patients about the safest and most cost-effective approaches to care."

The American Geriatrics Society (AGS) is a not-for-profit organization of over 6,000 health professionals devoted to improving the health, independence, and quality of life of all older people.

The Confederate flag is a lightning rod. This time a war of words may be fought as controversial ordinances nationwide are debated about where and how captured Confederate flags may be displayed or who retains the right to own them.
Whether you consider the Confederate flag to be a symbol of a nation once divided or a sign of cultural pride, the flag is creating its own headlines 150 years after it fluttered across battlefields and old Southern plantation porches.
Texas, for example, is close to issuing a license plate featuring the Confederate flag and some residents are opposed to the symbol saying it fails to reflect that 55 percent of the Lone Star State's population consists of Latinos, African Americans and Asian Americans.
However, some historians and members of the Sons of the Confederacy report that originally, the Confederate flag was not intended to be a racist symbol.
In fact, there is a common misconception that the Confederate battle flag (the Southern Cross) was the national flag of the Confederacy. In reality, the flag most associated with the Confederacy was strictly a battle flag – and not the only battle flag used. The Confederacy actually changed its national flag three times during the course of the U.S. Civil War.
Confederate battle flag flies to $59,750 as top lot in Civil War Auction
So, when Confederate flag enthusiasts get into battles about ownership of "captured Confederate flags,'' most military museum directors get jittery.
"When it comes to captured Confederate Flags, it all depends on when the flag was turned in to the Army Quartermaster. Forty years after the war, former President Teddy Roosevelt returned all captured Confederate flags held by the U.S. government to the South. However, if a soldier kept a captured flag or a unit kept flags that they captured without turning them in, it is hard to account for where those flags are now,'' said Michael Kraus, curator of Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall & Museum in Pittsburgh, Pa.
The Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) conceived Soldiers & Sailors during the 1890s. It was originally built to recognize the sacrifice, valor and patriotism of the Civil War Veterans of Allegheny County, in western Pennsylvania. Today, it honors Pennsylvania men and women who served in all U.S. military endeavors throughout history.
"My family still has an old battered Confederate flag that has been passed down through the family, and I plan to keep it for my grandchildren,'' said Hubert Rohm of Waynesburg, Pa. "I think all the hoopla about these flags comes as we begin to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. It's a shame that we still can't seem to come together to remember all the brave actions by soldiers from both sides,'' said Rohm, a retired coal miner.
One historic city may even sack its Confederate flags. A controversial Lexington, Va., ordinance may soon restrict flying Confederate flags on the city's main street. Foes of the ordinance say displaying the Confederate flag pays homage to Virginia's heritage and provides a boost to tourism.
Blue vs Gray: How collectors seek understanding through Civil War relics
Still one of the most enduring flag controversies nationwide involves the issue of where and who should own captured Confederate flags.
"We have a handful of Confederate flags in the collection which were directly given to New York State during or immediately after the war by the individuals or units that captured them. These captured flags have always been New York State property and were never U.S. government property. Many captured flags were given to the U.S. government during the war and returned by the Federal government to the former Confederate states around 1905 – our captured flags were not part of that group,'' said Michael Aikey, director of the New York State Military Museum & Veterans Research Center at Saratoga Springs, N.Y.
The museum owns the largest collection of state battle flags in the country and the largest collection of Civil War flags in the world. Of the more than 1,700 flags in the collection, more than 60 percent are from the Civil War.
Aikey also reports that "several years ago the Military Museum returned a South Carolina Mexican War flag in New York State's possession upon the request of the South Carolina Museum.''
And the flag waving controversy continues. In Tampa, Fla., a 30-foot by 50-foot Confederate flag weighing 100 pounds has been replaced with a smaller Confederate flag. Officials there say the flag was replaced to help drum up new interest in the memorial park which honors Confederate soldiers.
"It's not the flag we need to cherish; it is the sweat, sinew and courage of those who died during the Civil War that we need to honor,'' said Rubi Dawn, a Confederate history buff from Harrisburg, Pa. "I say, let 'em fly wherever we honor our historical past.''

Random Quote of the Day: "No one really listens to anyone else, and if you try it for a while you'll see why." – Mignon McLaughlin
Hello sunshines! 🔆 Which Cover Wednesday is a post hosted by Sumaya @suereadingcorner. For this post, you choose two different covers of the same book — the books can have different publishers, different formats, etc. Then you decide which one you think is more appealing. I don't think I've mentioned this before, but if you guys ever have theme recommendations or recs in general for WCW, please feel free to comment them!😀 Let's get onto the debate! ⚔
Okay this one is actually a little tricky. I own the first cover and it's actually not that bad for how simplistic it is. However I really love the quality of the second cover…Hmmm…I think I'll have to go with the SECOND COVER. I don't know what it is but I really enjoy it!

The Walking Dead star Jeffrey Dean Morgan is not happy with a T-shirt related to his character being pulled from U.K. stores over claims it is racist.
"Holy crap, people are stupid," he
Holy crap people are stupid. 'Walking Dead' Shirt Pulled From Stores After Complaint of Racism https://t.co/cpeIqcxTwJ— Jeffrey Dean Morgan (@JDMorgan) February 22, 2017
The apparel is a nod to Morgan's Negan, who joined the show in season six and immediately made an impact with viewers when he bludgeoned two of the show's long-running characters to death with his barbed-wire baseball bat, Lucille.
Negan picked his victim using the children's counting rhyme "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe."
Those words, along with a graphic of Lucille, were then printed on an official T-shirt stocked by U.K. chain Primark.
However, the store decided to stop selling the shirts this week following a complaint from an outraged customer.
Sheffield shopper Ian Lucraft said he was shocked by the "fantastically offensive" merchandise, because "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe," at one time, was used as a derogatory rhyme that referred to black people using the N-word. (A more wholesome derivative has the words "catch a tiger by the toe.")
"We were shocked when we came face to face with a new t-shirt with a racially explicit graphic and text," Lucraft told the Sheffield Star.
"This image relates directly to the practice of assaulting black people in America. It is directly threatening of a racist assault, and if I were black and were faced by a wearer I would know just where I stood."
A spokesperson for Primark said: "The T-shirt in question is licenced merchandise for the U.S. television series, The Walking Dead, and the quote and image are taken directly from the show. Any offence caused by its design was wholly unintentional and Primark sincerely apologises for this. Primark is currently removing the product from sale."Try Newsweek: Subscription offers

With increasing numbers of airlines operating direct services from the Middle East to North America, there is no time like the present to send clients on a trip to the US, explains Lee Jamieson.
The US presents unparalleled opportunities for the Middle Eastern leisure traveller - its tourism offerings are as diverse as its landscape and culture.
"In the Middle East, we have a wide range of leisure travellers, each motivated by very different needs and wants," says Emirates Holidays, regional manager, destination development, Europe and the Americas, Marco Heinrich. "The great thing about the US is that it has it all, allowing us to cater to everybody's needs."
Today, the US is more accessible than ever before. As air links between the Middle East and the US strengthen, a window of opportunity is emerging for the Middle East's travel trade - but the question is how to capitalise on this and maximise the potential of the US? New York ... the city that never sleeps
New York needs no introduction. Indeed, the city is the number one US destination for international travellers, accounting for 32% of the market share - nearly three times more than second-placed Los Angeles.
We are all familiar with images of the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, Times Square, the Empire State Building and the New York skyline - New York sells itself.
"New York is the place if your clients want an action-packed holiday, " says Heinrich.
"It's true when they say this city never sleeps! - you would need more than a month's vacation to fully experience the city."
By far the most popular activity in New York is shopping, a primary and fondly persued aim of 88% of the city's visitors.
"Shopping is a major draw for the Middle Eastern traveller, when you take the exchange rate into account," explains Heinrich. "It's a shopper's paradise."
How to sell New York to...
Couples: After sightseeing, couples can indulge themselves in the city's diverse gastronomy. The Chocolate Bar is the perfect place to soak up the chic, New York ambience. Visit www.buffalochocolatebar.com.
Families: Although only 7% of New York's visitors travel with children, there is still a great deal to do for youngsters heading to New York including a trip to the interactive Children's Museum of the Arts and the Central Park Zoo.

Emirates Airline: Twice daily direct flights from Dubai.

Houston ... "we have a problem"
Despite being the fourth most populated city in the US, Houston's international visibility is eclipsed by its more famous neighbours.
Although this may make it a more difficult destination to sell, it also offers a more authentic American experience.
"You'll find the real America in places like Houston," explains Heinrich.
"Most first-time visitors go to more familiar places like New York, so Houston is ideal for a returning client."
Houston is a vibrant, cosmopolitan city that is in touch with its historical and cultural heritage. Visitors can visit Houston's Space Centre and tour the historic mission control and the astronaut training facilities.
Emirates Airline flies to Houston daily and from March 30, Qatar Airways will run a direct service from Doha to the city in a bid to capitalise on the oil and gas industry traffic between the two destinations.

San Francisco... the windy city
In recent years, San Francisco has become a prominent US destination for Middle East leisure travellers. Unlike many other cities in the US, San Francisco is easy to explore on foot and is only 49 square miles in size.
Iconic images of the fog rolling around the towers of the Golden Gate Bridge aside, San Francisco offers an impressive array of sights and attractions to international visitors.
"Alcatraz continues to be one of the most exciting attractions in the city," says San Francisco Convention and Visitors Bureau director, Europe and Latin America, Hubertus Funke. "The cellblock audio tour really immerses the visitor into the feel of the island's gripping history."
Other activities include seeing the impressive San Francisco cityscape by cable car and eating seafood in the quaint Fisherman's Wharf area.
The city has just become more easily accessible for travellers from the Gulf with Emirates Airline flying direct from Dubai three times weekly.

California dreamin'
California is diverse - this is a state where you can surf and ski in the same day. Some of the best activities involve self-drive road trips: exploring its abundance of national parks, driving from vineyard to vineyard, or drive the classic Route 66.
"The California road trip has become a famous rite of passage for many of our international visitors," explains California Travel and Tourism Commission's Burnside.
"Popular alternatives to Route 66 are Highway 101 to Eureka, which reveals eco-friendly living and a trip through rugged countryside of Death Valley on Highway 190."
Alternatively, for those that prefer the theme park experience, California is a world leader: the infamous Disneyland, Legoland, Seaworld and Universal Studios can all be found in the state.
Burnside notes a marked increase in visitors from the Middle East from 78,000 in 2006 to 113,000 in 2007 - a figure likely to be boosted now that direct flights to the region have been established in San Francisco and Los Angeles.
How to sell California to...
Couples: Hire a convertible car and take a relaxed and indulgent self-drive wine tour journey through California State.
Families: No family trip to California is complete without a visit to Disneyland and Universal Studios. Both theme parks provide an unforgettable family day out.

Los angeles ... the city of angels
Los Angeles is one of the most exclusive destinations in the US. Luxury hotels are plentiful and restaurants are frequented by top celebrities. The mystique of Hollywood and the opportunity to rub shoulders with the rich and famous has proved a major selling point for this city.
"There are plenty of opportunities for tourists to find celebrity sightings and do as the celebrities do here," says California Travel and Tourism Commission international media relations manager Kat Burnside.
"Visitors can tour celebrity homes, tour movie studios and find the handprints of their favourite star on Hollywood Boulevard."
Although many of the attractions can be found in the downtown area, visitors really need to hire a car to fully experience the city.
"A car is essential because everything is so spread out," explains Emirates Holidays' Heinrich. "That said, the driving is really easy and it's fairly simple to find your way around."

Couples: Suggest a trip out to Malibu, a favourite romantic getaway. Walk along the picturesque beach and explore the oceanfront eateries.
Families: Universal Studios Hollywood offers a great family day out, jam-packed with rides, shows and studio tours.

"A powerful love story laced with God's truth." The historical town of Eagle Harbor awaits readers in book one of the bestselling Eagle Harbor Series.
Tressa Danell is finished with men—from the wastrel who left her a widow, to the smelly trapper who keeps proposing, to the banker who wants to repossess her bakery. Every hour is spent working to pay off her late husband's debt and keep a roof over her son's head, though it's doubtful she can do both for very long. But one thing's certain—she'll never be beholden to a man again.
Tired of living in a small town that blames him for actions his father committed ten years ago, Mac Oakton is scheduled to leave Eagle Harbor. So why does the pretty widow at the bakery keep tugging at his heart? He can't get involved in her predicament when he'll only be around for two more weeks.
But when Tressa's burdens overwhelm her, they both face a decision. Can Mac set his own plans aside to help? And can Tressa accept his support if that means giving up her independence ... and being obligated to a man again?

I have learned over the last few years that I can't do everything myself if I want to reach the level of success I am striving for. I have also learned that no matter how good I think I am at something, there are other people who are better at it than me, especially if they have more time to devote to the task. I have been working on outsourcing many of my day-to-day tasks, but there is still more I can do. So far hiring people has not cost me more money like I thought it might, but actually made me much more money.
As a real estate agent I tried to learn the business myself without learning from others even though my dad had been in the business for over 20 years at the time. I tried to manage my rentals myself thinking I could deal with tenants and it would save money. I tried to manage all my contractors and flips myself thinking I would have time. I did my own accounting for years even though I hated it. I did my own BPO's for years thinking no one else could do them as well.
When I hired someone to take over each of these tasks for me, it didn't eat into my profits, but it made me more money. I realized the people I hired (if I hired the right people) were just as good as me or better than I was at the jobs I hired them for. They weren't always better because they were more talented. But they were better because they had more time, they had more focus and they had a clear idea of what their job is.
Why is hiring people essential to running a business and making more money?
Many people want to start a business and many people do start businesses. Most people who start a business get stuck working in their business and not working on the business. If you work in your business you are the one doing the work. You are handling the busy work, the day-to-day tasks and if you manage to hire help you usually spend all your time managing staff or making sure the staff are doing their jobs right. Your still stuck in the business!

Working on your business is much harder to do, because you must let go of control. You have to separate yourself from the day-to-day operations and concentrate on profit. You must hire the right staff, then hire people to manage the staff. Most business's succeed when they have an owner who can see the big picture, look in to the future and come up with new ideas. When you are stuck doing all the busy work, you don't have time to think about the big things than can be game changers.
If you are a rental property owner, a fix and flipper, a real estate agent or a wholesaler you are running a business. You must treat it as a business and create something that does not need you constantly in the picture to work.
Here is a great article on how to hire staff.
Why are people you hire able to do a better job than you?
The biggest issue most business owners have with hiring help is they do not want to give up control. They feel it is their business and they know how to do everything better than anyone else. Why would they hire someone who will do a worse job and cost them more money at the same time? The problem that most business owners don't see is they may be better at certain tasks than someone they hire. However, are they better at those tasks when they are trying to do everything at once and don't have the time needed to complete those tasks properly? I ran into this problem myself where I am trying to do ten thousand things at once and maybe I would be better at those tasks than someone I hired if I was only doing that one task and had time to complete it.
When you are short on time and short on focus things do not get done quick enough or well enough. So even if you hire someone who does not do those tasks perfectly, they will most likely get done better than you did them. You can also train your people how to complete the tasks over time so that eventually they are as good or better than you at them. When you step away from those tasks and see other people do them, you also might see things that can be improved. When you stop doing those tasks you see the big picture and can make changes in the business that equal more money.
How has hiring people to help run my business made me more money?
I have hired many people over the last few years and my team is up to 9 people plus a few others who work only a couple of hours a week. Every time we hire someone I get a little nervous about the extra costs, because the overhead on my business is already very high. In the end hiring someone almost always makes me more money, because it frees up my time to pursue other opportunities or focus on higher level activities. In the next sections I will outline exactly what hires I have made and how they have helped me over the years.
How hiring a personal assistant help my real estate business
When I started to sell a lot of houses around 2008 I was swamped with work. I was working 12 hour days and the weekends and barely getting things done. I had hit it big with REO and HUD listings, which was great, but it also was stressful. I was not able to spend any time on the flipping business and I was barely getting BPO's done. At the time i was doing almost everything myself including driving to all my properties.
I hired my first assistant and it was so nice to have help. I had to teach her how to do many things, but she also figured out how to do many things on her own. She took over the expenses on REO's, which I hated doing. She took over much of the busy work and paperwork I was doing. I didn't realize how much time I was spending on the little stuff. She eventually learned to do BPO's which saved me a ton of time! She started part-time and then came on full-time a few months later and is still on my team. Now she is licensed, still my assistant but sells enough houses every year to more than make up for what I pay her. Her help allowed me to work on the flipping business again and add a huge stream of income.
How hiring someone to do drive by inspections made me more money
After I hired my assistant to help complete BPO's and paperwork I had a lot more time. However, I when we do BPO's we have to drive by houses and do exterior or interior inspections. I was doing almost all the driving for those inspections and for my new REO listings. I would put at least 30,000 miles a year on my cars and that took a ton of time. I would tell myself I liked driving and I did, but really it was costing me a lot of money to spend all my time driving around. I ended up hiring my mom to help with inspections, then added my uncle, my cousin and now one member of my team helps as well. Sure I don't make as much money as I did before on BPOs, but I make more money overall because I spend my time on higher value tasks.
By not driving around all over the place every day, it gave me time to start this blog.
How hiring someone to run my team allowed me to buy out my dad
My dad ran out real estate team from well before I started in 2001 until 2013. During that time I was able to hire my own assistant and use his assistant as well. I also had to give him a huge percentage of the deals I did and he kept the majority of the profit on our flips. I was leaving a lot of money on the table, because I sold most of the houses and I pretty much ran the flipping business. I had though about taking over the team for a while, but I did not want to hassle with the management and keeping track of payroll, expenses etc.
Shortly before offering to buy out my dad my friend expressed interest in changing careers. He was a corporate manager and hated his life. I offered him the opportunity to work with me and he accepted. He worked on getting his license and I now had a person who could manage the team if I took it over. I went to my dad with an offer and he was ecstatic to be able to hand over the business that he was tired of running.
I paid my team manager a base salary, plus he got his real estate license and started selling houses. He was able to set up all the payroll, get the business set up correctly (with the help of lawyers and accountants) and we were up and running. taking over the team was a lot of work, but it meant I got to make all the decisions, I was the sole owner with no partners and I would make more money. There is no way I could have done it without hiring someone new. We have since hired new agents for our team, my cousin to help with accounting and a new person who's only job is to make phone calls all thanks to my team manager.

How hiring a property manager made me more money with rental properties
I managed my rental properties myself until I had 7. I thought I was doing a good job, but I really was not. I did not have time to properly check out tenants, stay on them for rent and I was too soft. We had some tenants way behind and others who did not take care of the houses well. I ended up telling my team manager I would pay him 8 percent to take over management and make sure everything was done right. Since he took over no one is behind, everyone takes care of the houses and we have much better tenants. Even though I pay him 8 percent I think I make more profit because of the better tenants and systems.
Here is a great article on why you may want to hire a property manager.
How hiring a contractor to manage all my rehabs has made me more money
My biggest issue with flipping houses and finding contractors has been managing the rehabs. I find good contractors and then they start screwing up or charging more. I hire bad contractors or I just can't find enough contractors. I was getting really tired of it taking six months to finish a flip because I did not have enough contractors or the wrong contractors. So a couple of months ago I hired one of my contractors to manage all my rehab projects. He is a full-time employee and only works for me now. He has a management background and is very honest. Already we have all my projects with crews working on them and things are moving much faster. Again I did not have the time to properly manage all the jobs and contractors and my business was suffering for it.
In the future if we get our systems set up correctly and enough sub contractors we could even start a contracting business doing work for other people. I know how hard it is to find good contractors!
While it is not easy to hire people, it is vital to anyone's business. Many business owners do not want to manage people, but you must have help. If you don't like managing people than hire someone to be your manager so that you can focus on the business. When you get the right people in place in management and staff, you should have a business that will run on its own. You can then take vacations without working, spend more time with your family, focus on building the business bigger or move on to new ventures.

A CABBIE who burned his foot had his leg amputated when doctors failed 21 times to properly treat the wound.
Leslie Arthur, 63, dozed next to an electric heater.
A GP's nurse dressed the dad of three's wound but failed to refer him to a foot specialist.
Mr Arthur, of Redhill, Surrey, returned to the practice in Caterham 20 times in three months as his foot failed to heal.
He developed an infection and surgeons had to amputate his left leg below the knee.
The Townhill Medical Practice admitted failure in its care of Mr Arthur, who is suing the NHS.
Alexandra Winch, a lawyer at Irwin Mitchell representing Mr Arthur, said: "Had surgery staff followed correct procedures, he would have been treated far sooner."

Dimitri Rotov runs a very fine blog called Civil War Bookshelf. If you aren't familiar with it, check it out sometime. Yesterday, he passed along this fun little quiz that determines which Civil War General you are. The bloggers over on Civil Warriors took the quiz too. It only takes about 5 minutes to answer the questions. Give it a shot, the results may surprise you. So, which Civil War general are you?
For whatever it's worth, I took the quiz and learned that I am most like U. S. Grant. I was relieved I didn't have much in common with Nathan Bedford Forest, but my Ambrose Burnside count is disturbingly high.
Here are my results:
You scored as U.S. Grant: One of the most misunderstood figures of the war, your campaign at Vicksburg was a work of military genius, but future generations will come to view you as a butcher who won by weight of numbers. Sorry 'bout that.
U.S. Grant 70%
William T. Sherman 65%
James Longstreet 65%
Robert E. Lee 55%
Ambrose Burnside 50%
Stonewall Jackson 50%
Jeb Stuart 45%
George McClellan 30%
Nathan Bedford Forrest 30%
Phillip Sheridan 10%

The financial metric Return on Assets (ROA) evaluates how efficiently a company uses its assets to generate a profit. ROA is calculated by dividing the company's total annual earnings by the total assets of the company. The financial Metric ROA is displayed as a percentage. The formula of ROA is depicted below.
The formula:
Net Income
Total Assets
The ROA figure gives investors and financial analyst some indication of how effectively companies are converting its assets, the money it holds to invest in running and developing the company, into net income. ROA should be as high as possible, which would indicate that a company is using its assets efficiently, and that the company manages to earn an acceptable profit of its assets.
For instance, if company X has an annual net income of $2 million and total assets of $10 million, its ROA is 20%. In comparison, if company Y has the same annual net income but total assets of $15 million, the ROA for company Y is 13,3%. By comparing the ROA of these two companies, investors will likely see company X as a better investment, because company X consumes fewer assets to generate the same earnings as company Y.

Harper Seumas Gagne in Concert, July 14
Music starts at 7:30pm, doors at 7pm. $12
Seumas Gagné has been playing the music of the Scottish and Irish Gaels on the Celtic harp for more than thirty years. After finishing his Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Music at Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, his attention returned to his first love, the traditional music of Scotland and Ireland. This music led him deeper into the world of the Gael until learning the Gaelic language became the natural next step. He began studying with Richard Hill in Seattle and along with his classmates helped found Slighe nan Gaidheal (say: SLEE-uh nun GAY-ull), Washington's Gaelic language and cultural society.
Seumas was one of the founding members of the band Wicked Celts and recorded one CD with them, Prophecy and Blessing in 1997.
That same year, Seumas and five friends from Slighe nan Gaidheal journeyed to the Royal Scottish National Mòd (a Gaelic music competition) in Inverness, Scotland where he won the Elspeth Hyllestad Trophy for solo clàrsach performance. At the time, he was the only American to have won this award. In 2001, he returned to the Mòd in Scotland with a team of four friends and together they won the first-ever waulking song competition, sponsored by the Harris Tweed Authority.
Seumas' first solo CD, Baile Àrd, was released in February 2012. It includes a mix of traditional and original songs in Scottish Gaelic, as well as traditional dance music. Lyrics, translations, and instructional videos to help fans learn the choruses of the songs on the CD are available at his web site.

On Fox News Sunday, Rep. Peter King (R-NY) accused Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) of offering up a "grab bag of misinformation and distortion" about the National Security Agency's surveillance programs.
King alleged the National Security Agency's mistakes have been "inadvertent" and had a 99.99% success rate, which he said was better than politicians and those in the media in their work.
He also said he thought the "whole tone of 'snooping' and 'spying' we use" was "horrible."
"I think it's really a smear and slander of good, patriotic Americans," King said.
King said he was ultimately "satisfied" with the NSA's surveillance programs and that there is "nothing there that bothers me."
Fox News Sunday addressed these issues after an internal audit found that the NSA had repeatedly violated the privacy rights of Americans.

- Integrated results: This type of metasearch engine gathers results from the different search engines around the web and meshes them into one set of results. It is one search activity, accompanied by one set of search results. (ex. info.com)
- Unified-search engine: This type of metasearch engine allows you to search different topics within search tools (such as blogs, news, images) and then returns results from all of the websites. The difference is that the results are displayed separately by site, with sites separated by tabs on the results page. This lets you scan the different web site results without having to visit each site individually.
There is also another type of metasearch engine that is more of a hybrid type engine. This returns the results both separated by tabs and combined, whichever the user prefers.
Today's class exercise involves visiting the various metasearch sites and comparing the search results to those of Google. This exercise aims to show use the benefit (or disadvantage) of using the metasearch sites. The exercise guidelines and results can be found here.
In addition to the exercise, we were assigned to post two twitters about our favorite two metasearch engines. Below is a list of some of the major metasearch tools and a brief description of what they do:
|Symbaloo is a type of metasearch tool. It's a page meant to be set as a homepage for your internet browser that gives you access to the many different search and media tools around the internet. Very cool tool.
|Search!O is a tool used to return results from many different sites separated by tabs. It's almost like tab browsing search sites, but within a web page. This allows you to browse the results of many different sites without having to actually visit each individual site.
|Fun, interactive search site. Useful when wanting to search a bunch of different, unique sources for one topic. For instance, finding youtube videos on a topic as well as visiting the wikipedia page for further information.
|Nicely designed, easy to use metasearch tool. Nothing too special or unique about it, just returns accurate and easy to navigate results.
|One of the most widely known metasearch tools. Searches for results on the main four web browsers (ask, yahoo!, Bing, Google)

Helping your event attendees get the most out of your corporate event, conference or product launch should be integral to organizing it. Sure, your event may have a number of guest speakers and presentations followed by Q & A sessions, but ensuring each person receives all the information presented doesn't need to be difficult.
Professionally transcribed services will not only provide any missed information, but will expand the audience to reach those whose native language was not that which the event was held in.
Why Use Corporate Transcription Services?
Poor acoustics, a slow internet connection or other commitments can all result in delegates missing key information at your event. Additionally, those interested in the event who speak a different language represent an entire, untapped group. Posting event transcriptions onto your translated website for those who either attended your corporate function personally or have a later, vested interest in it has a number of benefits.:
1. Remain in the minds of your delegates
Supplying delegates with a transcript of all or key presentations and Q&A sessions after your event is not only courteous, but it provides an excellent summary of the information communicated that they can return to when needed. Attendees will appreciate your support, be able to share it with colleagues, and be more inclined to remember and do business with you.
2. Fill in the missing gaps
Occasionally, delegates will have other commitments that force them to miss key elements of presentations or parts of a conference – they may have to leave early or take an important call. By following up with post-event transcripts you allow them to keep abreast of developments that may impact the way they do business with you.
Additionally, for those who were unable to attend at all, the transcription provides them the ability to gain insight into your company event. By posting it in a public forum, and going one step further to translate the event, it maximizes the reach of your business. For every company with international aspirations, whether they be a global ecommerce brand or biotech firm, posting transcriptions leads to greater engagement and brand awareness.
3. Understand all the content
Even events held online through webcast and similar technologies don't always run to plan. Although they allow people to sit in on events they can't go to in person, slow or unreliable internet connections or office distractions can have delegates missing important parts of the presentations. For all users whose native language is not the same as the event's, a translated post can be equally crucial. Transcripts that follow up each online session prove to be useful in both of these cases.
4. Build your brand's reputation
Posting transcripts of main events or presentations on your company blog and social media platforms increases your brand visibility. Conference or product launch transcripts can be picked up by journalists and press release sites that will further increase your credibility in your industry along with exposing your brand to a wider audience. Translating these into multiple languages builds on the potential for appealing to a wider, international audience.
Accuracy is Key in Transcription Services
Poor transcripts of an event can be detrimental to your business. Sending transcribed documents filled with grammatical errors and typos to delegates will damage the way your company is perceived. Transcripts need to be accurate, concise and true representations of your corporate event, so choose a reliable transcription service to ensure quality work that will boost your business.

First some background: A few years back, we did an ad campaign that featured squirrels. There were huge squirrels on billboards, small ones on mailers, millions of them on newspaper inserts, and chattering squirrels on radio ads. The "sales" response rate was respectable, but the emotional response it generated was amazing. It was the only time we've ever had customers show up in our lobby looking to meet our creative/marketing staff, and to see if they could get their hands on more printed copies. The most notable of these visitors were the local firefighters from Ladder 2 who showed up, in full gear, after having responded to a call across the street. We were so proud. Then sales started dropping, and reluctantly we had to move on to a new, non-squirrel campaign. But, we always hoped to resurrect the squirrels again at some point.
|Our Spokesquirrel: Chopper Crazypaws
Time shift to this past summer: Our senior-management team was out in the field. They were visiting offices around the country and they kept hearing how much people loved the squirrels and hoped to see them again. When they came back and reported this to marketing, a testing plan was hatched. Fourth quarter this year, we pulled out a sample group to send a "squirrel" version against our (non-squirrel) control. I am sad to report that the control was the winner and the squirrels will not be gracing billboards anytime soon. But, at the end of the day, it was amazing that customers had such an emotional tie to these "characters" that we actually took the time to test the campaign again.
What does this have to do with crafting, you ask? Well, as a result of this latest squirrel test, one of our customers sent us some hand-made goodness. I'm telling you the truth! Because she was responding to a "holiday card" (which was a thinly disguised sales message about our latest promotion) she sent us a crocheted angel ornament AND a crocheted squirrel magnet! The "card" that she was responding to was co-signed by the president of our company and our spokes-squirrel, Chopper Crazypaws - so she wanted to send both a gift. How sweet is that?

@ND_GP_guy Are you free to chat soon?
One day we will put out fires with drones. #DogRockFire RIP Yosemite National Park…
JJennChat In 10 minutes, we'll have an update on the Yosemite National Park crash of a Cal FIre S-2T Tanker. Pilot has died. Sad. 11p.m. @10News.
@OrenKessler @robertcaruso Why would I deal with someone that's accused me falsely of stalking & having sex with whores? He's a liar.
@RMH2345 My attorney told me he has no money and is a fraud.
@clydetheslyde @PaulPQuinn I blocked him because he was trolling & because Clarion Ledger issued correction.
@robertcaruso Yeah, I've never stalked anyone in my life.
@robertcaruso You're making stuff up again. How sad. Please retract your libel.
@robertcaruso @FreeBeacon O'Bagy, Everytown, I could go on and on.
@IS2EXW @robertcaruso He'll be unemployed.
@robertcaruso @TajMagruder Oh no. This isn't like any bullshit @FreeBeacon lameness. I've got the goods.
@robertcaruso I'm looking forward to paying your food stamps.
It's a pity that so many of the people who libel me have so little assets that a suit isn't worth my time… What a shame…
@robertcaruso are you lying again?
@Lemang01 fair enough. But I have them.
@clydetheslyde @PaulPQuinn @clarionledger he never bet me anything and had no way to enforce it. Ledger printed correction after anyways.
@robertcaruso lol. You've done nothing with your life.
@robertcaruso It's ongoing, bro.
@robertcaruso @Tyler_McNally @FreeBeacon No thanks.
@riteormite No, man. It's fucking awesome.

There's a stronger Biblical case for polygamy than there is for gay marriage. It'll be interesting when we finally allow it.
I like gay marriage because it allows me to pressure all of my gay friends to have weddings like they did to me & my wife.
I have nothing against two or more people forming contracts to deprive the government of money but it's not a marriage.

Samsung loads Netflix onto smart TVs
Firmware update required
Samsung has added Netflix to its SmartTV connected telly UI.
From today, a Netflix icon will appear in the SmartTV UI's Recommended section. To accompany the addition, Samsung has also updated its connected TV firmware from version 001018 to 001021, but this may not happen before your see the Netflix icon and are tempted to click.
Source: GoneDigital.net
Reg Hardware writer and IPTV specialist Nigel Whitfield suggests updating the firmware before you do anything else. You can read his recommendations on his Gone Digital blog.
Netflix launched its UK service earlier this week. Beyond a free trial period, the streaming package costs £6 a month.
Other gadgets are adding links to the service: WD's WD TV Live box got a similar Netflix-enabling update this week. ®

The Rio Olympics and Paralympics underlined the crucial role of access to good training opportunities, but it also demonstrated how one generation of successful athletes can motivate others who watch them train and compete.
It illustrated how athletes go on to give something back to their community via sport, by way of coaching or training or fundraising.
It demonstrated the power of sport to transform lives and communities.
We are proud to see the Halo Sport Foundation being part of the national drive to make that legacy last.

OCC and Neoseeker Need Reviewers!
Posted: 07:47PM
Author: bp9801
OverclockersClub and Neoseeker need reviewers to help with all the new computer gear coming out. Reviewers need to have recent hardware, so for Intel that means an Ivy Bridge, Sandy Bridge, or socket 1366 Core i7 CPU, and for AMD that's an AM3+ CPU with a Bulldozer or Piledriver core. Monitors need to be 23" or higher and capable of at least 1920x1080, but three monitors is not required (although welcomed). Potential reviewers must also live either in the United States or Canada, so only those residents need apply. A high level of dedication is required to be a reviewer, as some reviews can be time consuming. A good grasp of the English language is also a plus.
If being a reviewer sounds like something you can do, send a private message or email to Bosco letting him know your interest. Currently a dozen people are needed to help out, so feel free to apply!
