Salford Royal (formally Salford Hope) is currently undergoing a massive redevelopment program which includes the demolition of the older redbrick Victorian buildings to make way for a new visitor and patient car park. Having been fortunate enough to never get ill/run over/shot in Salford over the course of my life, I'd not had a chance to peek inside.
The Victorian buildings are completely surrounded by live working hospital buildings which made for pretty hilarious access.
We had a good mooch round but most of the good stuff has been cleared for demo, they're just waiting for the asbestos guys to finish doing their thing and then it'll all come down
If you want to see it - do it now, if not, just look at the pictures :)
History (from wikipedia)
The hospital opened in 1882 as the Salford Union Infirmary, a hospital for sick paupers, in association with the union workhouse. During the Manchester Blitz of WW2 the hospital was struck by German bombs in June 1941 and 14 nurses died. It was later renamed as Hope Hospital, taking the name of the medieval Hope Hall, demolished in 1956. The formation of the NHS Trust in 1994 saw the closure of Salford Royal Hospital on Chapel Street. The trust was originally named Salford Royal Hospitals NHS Trust, but changed its name to Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust in 2006.
During 2007 a substantial redevelopment commenced under a Private Finance Initiative (PFI), which included re-branding the hospital as "Salford Royal" and the construction of the Hope Building, which is scheduled to open in September 2011.

Craig Fell
Craig's time at Teesside University prepared him for the career he loves. He now runs an award-winning business and reflects with happiness on his time as a student.
BA (Hons) Graphic Design
My experience at Teesside University was very positive. It taught me to think creatively and problem solve. This focus allowed me to truly find myself and hone in on my natural working style. I never felt like I had to conform in my studies to succeed.
My tutors at Teesside University were fantastic and all offered very different qualities. Their levels of enthusiasm for their students never faltered throughout my three years of study.
Studying on Teesside was great. I loved Middlesbrough as a place and made a lot of friends. The people of Teesside are the salt of the earth and it reminded me a lot of my hometown Blyth, which thankfully wasn't too far away.
I was a member of the University gym when I was studying and I loved all of the social events at the Students' Union. I always felt like I had so many friends around me at Teesside and I never really needed anything else. I worked part-time throughout my whole course so I was always busy.
Something I liked about studying at Teesside is that the campus is so compact. Everything I needed was in close proximity and you get a real feeling of community around campus as a result of this – I've revisited since my studies and I can see that things have progressed even further.
I found out about Teesside University originally through one of my college tutors – he'd visited and had been really impressed with the University's progress and the great reputation of its tutors. After meeting with tutors myself and going through my initial applicant interview, I knew Teesside University was where I wanted to study. The values of the place and the fact that there was no pretence really appealed to me.
I enjoyed my studies and I felt like my course offered value for money. You only get out of something what you put in – I'm not saying I am the hardest worker of all time but I really tried and I saw the results. The career prospects I have had from attending Teesside University are great. I've even managed to pay off my student loan!
I was lucky enough to be offered a good job straight after University thanks to exhibiting my work at the New Designers conference in London. Starting this job meant me moving to the north west of England and this is still where I am based.
I run my own business now, Boxed Red Marketing. My role covers a few key areas but my day to day job involves creatively managing and directing our studio whilst building and maintaining strong client relationships. My position has really evolved over the years – early on I delivered all of the creative myself. Now I'm lucky enough to have a team around me which means I'm able to take more of a strategic role.
Between my first job and starting my business I held a number of varying positions in in-house and design agency environments. I progressed through my career, becoming more and more senior until the time came where I felt ready to start my own business.
I'd really like to take my business to the next level and I would like us to have 20 staff by mid-2017. We are currently at 15. We've won some awards so winning a couple more would be nice too! I wouldn't rule out another business venture, but it's not time just yet.
I would recommend Teesside University and the course I studied to others in a heartbeat. It did me the world of good. I entered University as a young, naïve boy and left as a hungry and determined man. I learnt so much more than just how to design – I also gained life skills and my course readied me perfectly for my career, which I am proud of.
I'd love to think that one of my kids could attend Teesside University. My wife and I met on my course so a whole family has been made through my amazing time as a student.

From the Lake/
Weird Sky
What was up with the sky yesterday?
The sky pretty much in all of the South of England has a yellow/red glow about it. To describe it best I would say that it felt like an eclipse.
This photo probably doesn't do it justice.
Daily Photo - From the Lake
Peace, calm and tranquillity all in a single photo. This might not be the most technical photo, it won't win any awards but it still makes me feel happy.

Lead's Lingering Legacy: Rebuilding Public Trust in a Public Utility
By now, the details of Flint's water crisis are well known – a cash-strapped city switched to its namesake river for the public water supply and the rest will go down in infamy. But the story is far from over. Even though the city has since switched water sources, the state has distributed filters to local residents and the federal government has given the green light for residents to ditch the bottled water, many Flint residents still don't trust their taps. And, of course, the damage done by lead exposure can last a lifetime. The group met with city officials, including Flint's new chief public health advisor, to learn about how the city and the state are working to protect public health, replace lead pipes and also tackle a tougher problem – rebuilding trust in the public water utility. A large part of this approach will be via $4.9 million from the federal government's Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration as Flint was one of eight U.S. cities to receive a Resiliency in Communities After Stress and Trauma (ReCAST) grant.
Citizens in Action: After Fighting to Be Heard, Flint Residents Push for Change
The existence (and extent) of Flint's lead crisis would never have come to light if it weren't for organized, determined citizens and a few journalists who covered their concerns. In fact, some have called the coordinated grassroots effort to collect water samples, monitor lead tests and piece together the bigger picture as one of the most remarkable citizen science projects in recent memory. We'll meet some of the residents who helped initially bring the issue to light, as well as the journalist credited with breaking the story and a public health expert with the Michigan State University department that helped expose the environmental injustice occurring in the Flint water supply. We also got their take on how remediation efforts are going, as well as the citizen-led push from organizations like Flint Rising to get lead-free pipes in the ground.
The group got the chance to get out into one Flint neighborhood to see workers replacing old pipes, and to chat with residents about their concerns:

58th Grammy Awards Nominations Announced: Kendrick Lamar and Taylor Swift Lead/
Kendrick Lamar has had a stellar year this year with the release of his third studio album "To Pimp a Butterfly;" it's no wonder he's leading the pack with 11 nominations. Taylor Swift and The Weeknd both have seven nominations each after both having a solid year with excellent albums being released by both respectively.
Album of the year features the likes of Alabama Shakes, Kendrick Lamar, Chris Stapleton, Taylor Swift, and The Weeknd. Alabama Shake's 2nd album "Sound & Color" was a huge hit among rock fans in North America as it went number one on both the U.S. Billboard 200 and Canadian Albums. Lamar's "To Pimp a Butterfly" soared to number one on the Billboard 200 as well as being certified gold. Chris Stapleton released his debut album "Traveller" which already won Album of the Year at the CMAs and peaked at number one on the Billboard 200. Taylor swift released her much anticipated fifth album "1989" which went 5x platinum in the U.S. as well as platinum in eight other countries. The Weeknd's second album "Beauty Behind the Madness" was a big hit while going gold in the U.S. and platinum in a handful of countries as well as earning the number one spot on many charts around the world.
Best Pop Duo/Group Performance includes Florence + Machine, Maroon 5, Mark Ronson & Bruno Mars, Taylor Swift & Kendrick Lamar, and Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth. Florence + Machine released "Ship to Wreck" back at the beginning of April and has since peaked at number 14 on the U.S. Charts and number one of the U.S. alternative charts. Maroon 5's hit song "Sugar" soared to the number two spot on the Billboard Hot 100 and went platinum in eight different countries. Mark Ronson & Bruno Mars' funky single "Uptown Funked" was an obvious success as it reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S. as well as many other countries. Taylor Swift's song "Bad Blood" which features Kendrick Lamar has already won a countless number of awards this year and looks to do no different at the Grammys as it went four times platinum in the U.S. "See You Again" was one of the most emotional songs released this year as it was tribute the passing of Paul Walker being featured in Furious 7. It went number one in almost every country and also reached platinum in 14 different countries.

So I have been reading this Book "Rest" by Alex Soojung and I just came across two super useful scientific study.
I really wanted to post it here so that I can revisit it anytime and can share it with anyone.
These ideas will help you stimulate creativity.
And by the way, you already know these ideas but somehow we all need some scientific proof do really consume it.
1) Walking stimulates Creativity
Scientific Study Excerpt from the Book:
In an experiment by Oppezzo and Schwartz – they divided a group of students into four groups.
One group worked inside at a table (the siting group), one walked on a tredmill (walkin), one walked around campus (walkout), and one was pushed along the same Campaus path in a wheelchair (sitout).
Each group took creativity test called the Symbolic Equivalence Test (SET), in which you come up with metaphors or equivalent images for a phrase like "wind blown leaves"
Result of Study:
Once again, walkers scored higher than the sitters. Additionally, it was concluded that may be walking just allows more ideas to bubble up.
2) Nap Stimulates Creativity
Excerpt from the book:
At the university of Dusseldorf Olaf Lahl – two groups of students were shown a list of thirty words for two minutes and told them to memorize as many as possible.
One group was then allowed to nap for up to an hour, while the other stayed awake.
Result: When they were tested to see how many words they could recall, the students who napped did significantly better than those who didn't.
In a second experiment, one group was kept awake, a second napped as long as they wanted and a third was woken up after five minutes.
Result: Lahl found that even a five minutes nap yielded measurable improvements in rentention: not as great as a longer nap, but still statistically significant.

Time to end abuse of drug discount program
If there's one universal truth in Washington politics, it's that policymakers don't want the public to know about well-intended government programs that have run amok. In March, the health subcommittee of the Energy and Commerce Committee in the U.S. House sought to change that by holding the first hearing on the "340B" drug discount program in nearly a decade. Haven't heard of 340B? You aren't alone, but it is one of Washington's biggest and best-kept secrets.
The 340B program was created by the federal government in 1992 to provide discounted pharmaceutical drugs to the country's poor, uninsured and most vulnerable. The program required Medicaid-participating drug manufacturers to provide discounted outpatient drugs to certain eligible health care entities, such as rural health centers, certain children's hospitals and cancer hospitals. Those entities could contract with pharmacies to dispense drugs purchased through the program on their behalf.
Since its inception, though, the program has been abused and transformed into an unsustainable government program that allows qualified hospitals to reap massive profits from unaware patients. In 2013, a joint investigative report by The News & Observer and The Charlotte Observer found that "Duke University Hospital purchased $65.8 million in drugs through the discount program, which saved $48.3 million. It sold the drugs to patients for $135.5 million, for a profit of $69.7 million. The profit would have been $21.4 million if Duke had not participated."
The report continued: "The number of U.S. hospitals participating in the 340B program has increased dramatically in recent years, from 591 in 2005 to 1,673 last year, according to the GAO." No one is against the 340B-qualified hospitals making a profit. However, such a profit should not be made at the expense of needy patients who would benefit from access to discounted drugs.
Unfortunately, the majority of 340B hospitals don't even provide the national average of charity care to serve vulnerable and uninsured patients. A recent report from Avalere Health found that roughly two-thirds of hospitals participating in 340B provide less charity care than the average U.S. hospital, with charity care making up 1 percent or less of total costs at a quarter of those facilities.
This brings us back to the hearing in March. Finally, Congress is taking the first steps
to get this program under control. Under the leadership of Chairman Joe Pitts of Pennsylvania and North Carolina Reps. Renee Ellmers and G.K. Butterfield, the subcommittee directed the Health Resources and Services Administration to increase its oversight of 340B and ensure that patients benefit from the program. HRSA is expected to release new rules for the program soon.
This is not the end, though. The following changes must be made to contain and sustain the 340B program: The definition of "patient" for purposes of the 340B program should be strengthened to preserve the original intent. The qualifying criteria for 340B hospitals need to be calibrated to ensure proper identification of safety net facilities that serve large numbers of uninsured and vulnerable patients. The use of contract pharmacies, which enable covered entities to contract with multiple outside pharmacies to dispense drugs that receive 340B discounts, should fulfill the intent of the 340B program and directly benefit vulnerable patients.
Increased government oversight of the 340B program is needed to ensure program requirements, including prohibitions on drug diversion, are being met.
Bernie Reeves, founder and editor of five regional publications in the Triangle, was a Republican candidate for Congress in 2010.

Sidewalk is Here: Come Walk with Us!
We're excited to introduce Sidewalk: an app that provides free, guided walking tours created by anyone with insight about the places they know and love. Starting today, you can download the app (for iOS and Android) and embark on any of the 60 walks that are already live, or create your own and earn a few bucks through Sidewalk's gratuity-based system, as recognition for crafting a story-worthy experience.
Sidewalk is reimagining how people discover their surroundings, with an emphasis on personal narratives, context and storytelling. We've designed a content platform that enables anyone to become a Guide by designing walks that can be shared with friends and family, or discovered by perfect strangers. This always-evolving library of experiences is ready to go whenever and wherever you are.
Stories Create Value
Whether planning a getaway to a far-off destination, or looking for new insight into a familiar place, we often rely on recommendation sites, word-of-mouth, social networks and old school travel guide books. Being pointed in the right direction is a start, but it's not going to help with truly appreciating somewhere new. Most places and sights are not, by themselves, immediately meaningful — they require context, emotions, stories and experiences. It is this mosaic that leads to understanding, appreciation and memories.
With this in mind, Sidewalk allows anyone to express the significance of places and neighborhoods, and to share those insights. Sidewalk Guides channel their knowledge and perspectives into narratives that add the context and personality missing from other offerings. Sound interesting? Go forth, explore and share the stories behind your favorite places!
Sidewalk is for Walkers
Albert Einstein once said, "I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious." Sidewalk is for the passionately curious. Sidewalks are free and ready to go whenever you are, with no advanced booking or payment, and no working around others' schedules. And, because Sidewalks can be created by anyone, our library will continuously grow with fresh experiences that speak to a vast range of locales and interests.
To get started on a walk, just scroll through the menu of interests and select the ones that fit what you're seeking — be it a solo mission to geek out on mid-century architecture, a surefire way to impress a too-good-to-be-true Bumble date, or a group outing to explore the ghostly tales hiding in the city. At the end of each experience, walkers will have an opportunity to tip their Guide for the time and thought they put into creating a story-worthy experience.
Sidewalk is for Storytellers
You don't have to be a storied architect or tenured art historian to have intrigue and anecdotes that will pique others' curiosity. Curating an experience on the Sidewalk creation platform is easy: once you have a Sidewalk in mind, type up or use your phone's dictation tool to briefly explain what the experience will entail. Select the walk's first guide point using our mapping tool and tell the world about it in your own words. Why is it meaningful? What is your secret for getting the most out of it? Are there any fun facts or historical significance behind these spots?
Sidewalk's creation platform prompts storytellers with cues and questions to help ensure they're leaving no stone unturned. Be sure to add a couple of photos and proceed to the next guide point. Once you're happy with the experience you've authored, publish it and our editorial team will give it a once-over before making it live for the community. There's no limit to the number of Sidewalks a Guide can create, or how many people can experience any given walk.
After the final stop on a Sidewalk, people have an opportunity to tip their Guide. Guides make money based on how many people tip and how much. Since Sidewalks are provided through the app, there is no hassle to meet people face-to-face or commit to walk schedules. Just create an interesting Sidewalk and keep it up-to-date.
We're launching with 60 Sidewalks — ready to be explored right now! — in four cities: Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco and Seattle, but today is just the beginning. We're excited to see where YOU lead us. As our library expands with stories of sights and cities around the world, we see an opportunity for Sidewalk to evolve beyond guided walks, to tailored city guides. More on that another day. For now, check out the app on the App Store and on Google Play and tell the community where you want to go on our Facebook page.

Proud Sponsors of the 2014 New Zealand Open Source Awards
Press Release – New Zealand Open Source Awards
The New Zealand Open Source awards are a biennial event to promote, recognise and celebrate the contributions of New Zealanders to free and open source projects and free and open source philosophy. Exemplary use of free and open source by organisations …NZOSA Media Release
Proud Sponsors of the 2014 New Zealand Open Source Awards
The New Zealand Open Source awards are a biennial event to promote, recognise and celebrate the contributions of New Zealanders to free and open source projects and free and open source philosophy. Exemplary use of free and open source by organisations is also recognised.
These awards could not happen without the generous support of our sponsors. Every two years, a group of organisations who recognise the importance of free and open source to New Zealand and the world support these awards through their sponsorship.
Catalyst are once again delighted to be the main organisers and Platinum sponsors of the awards. Don Christie, Director of Catalyst and the chair of the NZOSA judging panel states "As New Zealand's and Australasia's leading open source company Catalyst and our clients benefit hugely from the generosity of spirit that is represented by the open source software community. These awards are an acknowledgement of that spirit and one small way in which we can recognise and promote the open source software community in general."
InternetNZ, the other Platinum sponsor, said "As a voice, a helping hand and a guide to the Internet for all New Zealanders we wholeheartedly support open source. The generosity and innovative spirit of open source represents the best of the Internet. It is a great honour for us to be associated with such a wonderful evening.
Sigurd Magnusson, one of the founders of Gold sponsor SilverStripe, says "As strong advocates of open source software we are proud to sponsors the 2014 NZ Open Source Awards. SilverStripe was founded in New Zealand in 2000, we first open sourced our CMS software in 2006 and have continued to help push awareness and adoption for open source ever since."
.nz Registry Services, the other Gold sponsor says "At NZRS, the folks behind operation of .nz, we are keen supporters of open source developments and proud to share in the recognition of projects and software that build on open source philosophies. It is exciting to see and contribute to the level of innovation and collaboration that open source engenders. Our congratulations go out to all the finalists."
Silver sponsors IITP notes "IITP is a strong supporter of both open source and recognising excellence, so we're proud to be supporting the NZ Open Source Awards. The awards recognise the massive contribution New Zealand's diverse open source community makes and we're very happy to be part of it."
Dragonfly Data Science, one of the Bronze sponsors says "we are scientists by training, specialising in data analysis. Openness is integral to the scientific process. Data analysis should be reproducible, so that given the same data and the same software, another researcher can reproduce the results. Open source software supports this reproducible approach, and we recommend it to all researchers and analysts.
Open data makes the results of scientific research available to the broader community, gaining more efficiency from public funding, and building trust in any analyses which use the data."
The NZOSS a bronze sponsor is delighted to sponsor Catalyst's 2014 NZ Open Source Awards. The President, Dave Lane says "There's a rich but often under-recognised free and open source software community in NZ, and we're thrilled to see some of the great contributors and projects recognised for their passion and creativity. I look forward to the ceremony celebrating the talent and efforts of the many worthy nominees, finalists, and winners."
NZOSA would like to thank all the nominators, congratulate the finalists and thank our sponsors and the wider open source community for their ongoing support of this event.

Concrete is a strong material that can stand up to a lot, but it is also a very porous material that requires sealant to last. Whether it is oil or water, concrete sucks it up when it is not properly sealed. Oil will settle in the concrete and stain your walkway or driveway. Moisture settles in concrete and can also damage the integrity of the material, especially in colder climates. When the moisture freezes, it expands and cracks the concrete.
At Renew Crew of Charlotte, we provide concrete cleaning and sealing to not only make your concrete last longer, but also look better. While some embedded stains may be too difficult to erase entirely, our exclusive cleaning solution and light pressure washing will wash away most dirt that has built up over time.
After cleaning the concrete, we come back to seal it. The sealant, which is available in several finishes, will close open pores on the surface, stopping dirt, oil, water, etc. from penetrating concrete — leaving your driveway, sidewalks and other concrete surfaces Renew Crew Clean!

The heartwarming spectacle makes for a pleasant gathering of family and friends and often spawns some adorable photos. But can we make it into something more? Something that spills over the sanctuary stage and into the home?

The Institute of Psychology & Wellbeing has joined forces with Cognacity Performance (London), which is one of the UK's leading providers of corporate resilience & performance services.
In line with the work designed, developed and delivered by Cognacity, all the IPW workshop facilitators are trained medical professionals (psychiatrists and psychologists) and have extensive experience in optimising human performance, health and wellbeing.
We work with business executives, front line staff and sportspeople to improve performance under pressure and build capacity to cope with setbacks.
Our objective is always to deliver measurable benefits in areas such as performance, productivity, wellbeing, engagement, retention and reduced absenteeism.
We focus on:
Performance workshops and programmes
Executive and performance coaching
Facilitating high performance team environments
Implementing team and individual performance processes
Optimising performance under pressure
Human factor risk assessment and management
Clinical and wellbeing psychometric assessments
Stress and burnout management
Preventative programmes
Our workshops include:
1. Resilience: Performance under Pressure
Learning how to deal with stress and pressure is increasingly important in this fast-changing world. The IPW's flagship workshop uses the latest in cognitive behavioural therapy to help participants work sustainably at an optimal level and recover effectively from stressful situations.
This workshop is based on performance psychology principles, frequently used by elite sportsmen and women and will highlight the psychological factors involved in resilience and thriving in tough times. It will identify practical ways of developing the necessary skills to maintain or improve psychological resilience, well-being and performance.
2. Sustaining Performance
Equipped with the latest insights from the world of cognitive psychology and neuroscience, participants will gain insight and understanding into the cognitive biases and thinking styles affecting behaviour change. They will apply their learning to two key areas: wellbeing/recovery and performance behaviours.
The aim of this workshop will be to develop a detailed plan which helps participants to sustain behavioural change and help them to identify and restructure mental barriers to change. In terms of performance behaviours, participants will consider critical performance behaviours in areas such as communication, judgment and decision making and problem solving.
Designed for teams of 12-20, this interactive workshop can be delivered in either a full day or half day format.
3. Technology, Wellbeing & Performance
The workshop looks at the impact that technology is having on modern society - both good and bad. We will examine the way in which human cognitions (thinking and perceptions), wellbeing and performance are being affected by technology, and the impact this is having on our lives both at work and home.
Using the latest information and research in cognitive behavioural psychology, this workshop will help participants explore some of the challenges we face in the Information Age and particularly how technology is affecting our wellbeing and ability to perform optimally. Individuals will formulate a personal plan to get the best from modern technology while ensuring that they optimise recovery, wellbeing and our ability to perform at work.
4. The Psychology of Habit
Most people have good insight, understanding and knowledge about what they have to do to live a healthy and happy life. Yet few people attain their intended behaviours and goals. Why is it so difficult for us as human beings to change our unhealthy behaviours? Why don't we exercise more, eat healthier or work more effectively, especially since we know the positive impact these factors will have on us? Why is it so difficult to break our negative or unhealthy habits?
Using cognitive psychology and neuroscience principles, participants will gain insight and understanding into the psychology of habit formation and the neuro-cognitive factors involved in sustaining behaviour change. They will also have a better understanding of the habit-loop and how changing keystone habits can have a positive knock-on effect on changing other behaviours.
The aim of this workshop will be to gain insight and to develop a plan which will help participants to identify unhealthy habits and potential ways to change these. We will look especially at instigating healthier and better performance behaviours, as well as recovery behaviours.

Time to ban pensions for politicians
OPEN FORUM On California Budget Crisis
California is mired in an unprecedented and positively destructive pension crisis - underfunded by $500 billion, and rising.
Yet there's a more pressing challenge: How best to illustrate the problem? What will motivate Californians to press for a bold and visionary solution?
Along comes Kevin Shelley.
Shelley was a San Francisco supervisor and then a state Assemblyman who was elected to a four-year term as California's Secretary of State in 2002. But he served only until 2005, when he resigned in disgrace, embroiled in a professional scandal where $80,000 was apparently funneled to him from real estate deals.
Considering Shelley's past, you might conclude that he would not be an obvious choice for a one-month job with the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission that paid more than $13,000. But you would be mistaken.
Last month, the PUC did just that. Did it hire him because of his governmental know-how, even though he has no experience in regulating utilities?
Of course not. The PUC hired Shelley solely and only so he could qualify for a government pension for life and be given retirement health benefits - one more insider getting a cozy deal from a government bureaucracy that enriches its friends, protects its own and sends you the bill.
This must stop.
We need a ban on pensions for politicians and an end to the benefit system that enriches elected officials and gives them incentive to stay in office and be rewarded with a financial advantage in the name of public service. While this will not solve our budget crisis, it will send a message that politicians should not have privileges and benefits far beyond those of the people they represent.
That's why I worked with Assemblyman Curt Hagman, R-Chino Hills, to draft AB738. It would prohibit politicians from becoming a member of a retirement pension system or acquiring any retirement right or benefit for serving in that elective office. Elected officials would be eligible to enroll in 401(k) plans and invest their own money.
Some might argue that the few thousand dollars put in Shelley's pocket (and pockets like his) are a drop in the bucket. But that's just the point, and the answer to a fundamental question: How did we get $500 billion in pension debt? One dollar at a time.
Finally, if the Legislature does the expected and kills this bill, then I am quite confident that our state's system of direct democracy will allow voters a say in the matter. And here's a prediction: The politicians - and their pensions - won't like it.

We're now four months deep into the baseball season, and fantasy owners are in the heat of the stretch run. For many of those in contention, they will live and die on their starting pitching. RotoBaller has been updating our positional rankings over the past week. Today, we're revisiting the starting pitcher rankings we initially published in April and have updated on a monthly basis since. All the ranks below are compared to the FantasyPros ECR (Expert Consensus Rank), which will show you where RotoBaller differs with the expert community and by how much. Check out our tier-by-tier analysis below the rankings, and let us know where you agree or disagree with us!
Tier 1- It's pretty easy placing Scherzer at the top considering that he's 16-1 with a 2.86 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 170/34 K/BB ratio over 151.1 IP. Kershaw is right on his heels and reigns as the NL's premier fantasy hurler, while the borderline taken-for-granted King Felix is crafting yet another spectacular season. Harvey has probably been a hair better than Kershaw this season, but poor run support has cost him dearly in the victory department.
Tier 2- Darvish continues to astound with his strikeout totals, and Corbin is running away with NL Rookie of the Year. Price is back in top form, as he comes off a July where he went 5-1 with a 1.68 ERA and absurd 35/1 K/BB ratio in 48.1 IP.
Tier 3- Minor, Bumgarner, Sale and Moore are four of the fastest-rising left-handed starters in the game. Gonzalez has turned things around after a slow start and is fully back to his 2012 performance-level. Tillman has won an eye-popping 23 games since July 4, 2012.
Tier 4- Holland sports an outstanding 145/44 K/BB ratio, while Liriano has been utterly brilliant for the first-place Pirates. Fernandez has struck out 27 over his past two starts and is easily MLB's most electrifying young arm, while Strasburg has been very good but not great in 2013.
Tier 5- Verlander's spotty season continues, as he's been a huge disappointment to fantasy owners. Win/loss record aside, Burnett is having a career season at age 36. Peavy was outstanding in his Red Sox debut and figures to be a factor in fantasy leagues down the stretch, and Archer is fresh off a 4-0, 0.73 ERA July that featured two complete-game shutouts. Nova has surprisingly been one of baseball's best pitchers since returning from his minor league demotion at the end of June.
Tier 6- Hamels was terrific in July and could still provide late-season value to fantasy owners shell-shocked by his 4-13 record. It's stunning to see the rising Doubront and Kazmir ranked ahead of perennial aces Sabathia and Cain. Chatwood has been a revelation in Colorado, Miley has turned things around of late, and Dickey continues to live the up-and-down life of a knuckleballer.
Tier 7- Kluber is underrated and should be owned in all leagues. Beachy is back and was solid in his second appearance after getting lit up in his first start. Kennedy's extreme flyball tendencies should be greatly alleviated now that he's in San Diego- grab him if he's been cut in your league. Peralta put together a great stretch in July but has faltered again in his past two starts. Gallardo has been a huge bust.
Tier 8- Hefner has turned into a pumpkin after a magical six-week stretch, while Maholm, Hammel and McAllister have all battled injuries. Speaking of injuries, McCarthy was OK until his pitch count ran up and he was chased from his start against Boston following two months on the DL. This might be it for Pettitte.

Last month I was traveling. While going out of Mumbai, I came to know about pitiable condition of veteran actor Shri Avtar Krishn Hangal, aka A. K. Hangal. I was saddened and felt ashamed that such a veteran actor should be almost begging for his medical and other expenses. When I wrote an obituary to Nalini Jayawant, I mentioned that it is duty of CINTAA [ Cine & TV Artistes' Association ] to look after its ailing members and aging veterans who have no one to look after them. Nalini Jayawant died in her bungalow and world came to know about it after 3 days. There was no one in her family and her body was wrapped in a bed sheet and was taken away by BMC people. CINTAA maintained an enigmatic silence, Now barely a month passed and tragedy struck the industry again. 90 years old actor A. K. Hangal's son gave a statement and sought help for his ailing and aging father, who is unable to earn because of his advance age and failing health.
I saw Hangal Sahab's photo and read about his economic condition and was aghast. Film fraternity ran to his rescue in full force. His colleagues and filmmakers, with whom he had worked , immediately donated money and pledged support. Some filmmakers also came forward to help, even though they hadn't worked with Hangal Sahab.
It was very heartening and satisfying that the industry rose as one family and magnanimously helped one of its infirm and ailing veteran member, who is unable to earn because of his advancing age.. Government of Maharashtra also pitched in and a decent sum was given to Mr. Vijay Hangal, son of Hangal Sahab.
Only worrying part in this episode was the behaviour of his communist colleagues. Hangal Sahab is a member of Communist Party of India. He was an active member of IPTA [ Indian Peoples Theatre Association ] also and worked in many plays for them. Throughout his active years he supported them wholeheartedly and they conveniently forgot him at the time of his need. There was no clamour for his help from the communists. No word of support at his hour of distress was heard from the comrades. There was baffling and intriguing silence in the camp of comrades. When this veteran actor was fighting for his survival, another prominent proletariat [ ? ] Shabana Azmi was busy organizing a fashion show with the help of a prominent fashion designer Manish Malhotra. Because of her standing in the industry, she was able to have 39 prominent Hindi film stars for her show. Bourgeoisie [ ? ] like Mr. Amitabh Bachchan and Mr. Aamir Khan rushed to help Hangal Sahab and a proletariat [ ? ] like Shabana Azmi was busy inviting 39 prominent stars to walk the ramp for Manish Malhotra.
May I ask the reason of this silence? May I know the cause for this apathy? It is shameful and disgusting. Communists are born opportunists. They use people and when they find them worthless, they dump them nicely. This what they have done to Hangal Sahab.
Thank God ! India is yet to become a communist nation. Thank God ! USSR [ Union of Soviet Socialist Republic ] does not exist any more. Thank God ! Lenin and Stalin have been nicely consigned to the dustbins of history. Thank God ! Dictatorship of the proletariat is not the norm in our society.

Here's what the weather will be like for the Great North Run
Today's the day, runners, and we hope the weather will be with you.
Tens of thousands of people are set to run the 13.1-mile Great North Run route from Newcastle to South Shields tomorrow, with thousands more standing out to cheer them on and spot the celebrities.
The good news is the weather won't be too bad, with the Met Office forecasting neither scorching weather nor total downpours.
The maximum temperature is expected to be about 18C, with cloudy conditions forecast.
A damp start and rain early this morning will hopefully clear before runners and spectators need to be in position.
There will be patch rainy clearing to blustery showers through the afternoon, according to the Met Office, but sunny spells are forecast from the early afternoon.
The wind shouldn't be too much of a problem for runners, with most of it expected from the south west during the run - meaning it won't be in your face for the vast majority of the route, and may even help propel you down that final stretch along the coast.
Good luck everyone!

Who's Building L.A. (July 17): Attracting the Best Talent to Build the Best Projects
Custom Content by the Los Angeles Business Journal
The passage of Measure M last fall was another boost to the construction boom in Los Angeles. Combined with Measure R, this new initiative funds tens of billions of dollars' worth of transit construction projects. New commercial and residential development along new transit lines will create even more construction opportunities in addition to other projects of all sizes throughout the region. What's more, the passage of SB1 is the latest addition of infrastructure funding yielding approximately $5.2B per year throughout California.
Someone has to build these projects, though. The Associated Builders & Contractors estimates our industry needs half a million more workers in the coming years to meet the country's infrastructure needs. Locally, the problem is particularly urgent, as funded projects will put a strain on everyone from large prime contractors to smaller subcontractors.
What our industry needs is a concerted effort to attract people to the construction industry. From project management staff in the office to the next generations of superintendents and craft hands, there has never been a better time to get into construction. The question is: does the talent we need know that is true?
Our traditional apprenticeship and internship programs do a lot of good, but we need to consider additional tactics to recruit the necessary resources. The effort needs to start early, be persistent and communicated to a large, wide and diverse audience. Students preparing for college have likely already made their choices about careers and, too often, are seeing construction as old-fashioned dirty boots instead of long-term, well-paying careers. Especially here in California, where startup dreams seem to be one-good-idea-for-a-new-appaway, we need to do a better job exposing young men and women to construction early in high school and even in middle school, inspiring them with ways they can apply their unique talents to help provide innovative solutions to building complex projects.
One way we are doing this is through participation in the ACE Mentor Program. Through the local chapters of this national organization, we are able to give high school students hands on experience with the tools of the trade, going through the steps construction teams take on jobsites. They are also exposed to the digital tools we are using that are making various parts of the construction process more safe and efficient, with the hope of connecting interests and driving further innovation in our industry.
Beyond ACE, we need to show that a high school graduate can have a very successful career in construction, particularly in the field. Our industry has a shortage of skilled superintendents and one of the best ways to get there is through work in the field. While there are plenty of pathways into the trades, we need to do a better job of showing the short- and long-term career possibilities for students who do not see college as their next step. While many consider a bachelor's degree a prerequisite for many jobs, the construction industry is uniquely able to offer high school graduates a well-paying career path.

Why Are The Tricks Used To Sell War in 2003 Working in 2014? Have We Learned Nothing?
"You can't change the world with words Bill, unless you write those words in the evening news with blood." – Tom Bowen, In the movie Non-Stop
Glenn Beck tried to cash in on the feeling of unity many had after 9/11. His 9/12 project in 2009 was BS. But he did understand there was unity after 9/11/2001. I came from anger, blood-lust and the feeling, "Let's all get the bastards who did this."
He wasn't the only one using the bodies of the dead to get what he wanted. The desire for vengeance was stoked and consciously used by the Bush/Cheney White House to get us into Iraq. They used the raw emotion from 2001, but it wasn't enough. The sale of war in Iraq needed mind-changing visuals, serious authority figures, big money support and clever catch phrases. Remember:
- Photos of mobile labs with anthrax vials?
- Ex-Pentagon generals vs. anti-war actresses and actors on TV?
- The media ignoring who was paying the retired generals?
- Slick word play the WH used to link 9/11 anger to Saddam? (BTW, that was linguistic evil genius.)
And who can forget this deadly visual word poem.
"Smoking gun in the shape of a mushroom cloud."
They won't be able to do it again, right? We are smarter now. Many of us even spotted it all at the time. But it didn't stop the total war train. How do we use our knowledge this time?
Can they use our emotion like last time? After 13 years the confusion, sadness, anger and desire to act has diminished. And now we have been lied to. And bilked. And emotionally manipulated by professionals.
If someone wants to evoke that 9/12 feeling again they need a fresh jolt to the system. Like beheadings.
Following 9/12/2001 the rage and anger was scaled up to include entire regions. The right wing wanted an entire religious faith to be punished. Any suggestion of trying to understand who did it and why it happened was mocked. Anything less than "glass parking lots" was "letting the terrorists win."
But in 2014 you can start asking questions. Is there another way to deal with this current atrocity? Can we scale down? Focus?
During the run up a lot of people spotted the tricks and lies, but our protests were ignored. What will we do differently this time? New anti-war chants? (I swear to Surak if I hear one more "Hey Hey Ho Ho something something has got to go!" at a protest I will indulge in human emotion. )
People are already talking like it's too late. Can't we use the tools and leverage we have now we didn't have before?
The Fall War Launch Needs New Words, Images, People and Emotion
We know how they sold the 2003 Iraq War to us. Spot the tricks this time! Look for:
Notice the words and phrases being used this time. "Boots on the ground." It's all about protecting our people. Drones aren't "boots in the air" so they are fine. This shift in focus from people to machines should lead us to look at the cost, but will it?
Keep an eye on the word degrade, that's an emotional word pawned off as a military and physical action. Plus degrade has that, "It happens over a long period of time" feeling to it. That's intentional. Can we get a percentage of degradation?
This week we were reminded how powerful a video can be to people in power. Especially when they are caught doing something they don't want us to see.
The beheading videos are powerful, but the media won't be showing them over and over. That means the military will offer up successful bombing videos–from a distance. Look for what they don't want us to see. Closer in photos of the innocent dead. But this time we need to pay attention to how we talk about them. How should we position the upcoming videos? I suggest we make it clear we are on the side of the innocents, so when we show these videos we are not siding with the terrorists.
(I can almost hear the newscaster say 'Shocking new video from a US drone strike in Syria."and then watch the pro-drone or pro-war types attack the source, spin the footage an get no real push back.)
What do we want the government to do when the new "dead innocents from drone strikes" videos start showing up? Let's not be thrown into the, "It's either this or boots on the ground," dichotomies.
Speaking of videos, who is hunting for these videos? Who is the TMZ of horrible drone deaths? We know who's prepared to suppress or spin images and video and why, but who is trying to get the video out and their reasons? Are you a traitor if it comes from ISIL and your show it?
Selling war involves authority figures explaining what they want. Keep an eye out for the retired generals. Who pays them? Do they work for people selling drones? Could someone please check their affiliations this time? Call the TV producers and demand they mention their affiliations. Also, what about the think tank people? Foreign government funding? Defense contractors?
You've all noted the media already has brought on tired old "experts" to make the case for war, but who is new in the media opposing war?
If our "boots on the ground" aren't in danger, can we get some accountants on to talk about the cost of these drone strikes? How about representatives of the innocent dead in the countries we bomb? Someone from a Big 8 Peace firm? Who do you suggest? What would they have to do to get on TV and talk?
If they can't get anger, they will go for fear. Any attack in the US or on US interests will be linked to ISIL faster than you can say, Al Qaeda in Iraq.
I've heard three experts say it would be very hard for ISIL to attack the US. They will find someone who says they can. He will be in heavy rotation on Fox.
How do you stop them from using emotion? You can't, but you can offer other emotions. Like courage. Is there anyone not coming from a place of fear?
Denying Them Their War Propoganda
David Swanson wrote an great piece, James Foley Is Not a War Ad
He makes the point, with video to back it up, that Foley would not have wanted the video of his death to be used this way.
What if people in the United States were to watch the video of Foley when he was alive and speaking and laughing, not the one when he was a prop in a piece of propaganda almost certainly aimed at provoking the violence that Obama has just obligingly announced?
I can't speak for the dead, Foley was human and I understand the reaction of most, "Let's get the bastards who did this." But who he was leads me to believe he wouldn't want his death to be scaled up to a war.
We can't control the actions of the group called ISIL, but we can control our response to them. Let's not let the bastards who lied and manipulated us into the last war get away with it again.
Cue The Who.

There are over 100 community fireworks displays in Washington State, all celebrating the Fourth of July. Shows that are produced by trained professionals display spectacular productions illuminated with vibrant colors. Many times these shows are accompanied by patriotic soundtracks, or are televised live such as the Family Fourth at Lake Union.
When attending a public display, be sure to sit a safe distance away from the firing area. After the show, be sure children do not pick up any fireworks debris that they find on the ground – they may still be active and could cause serious injury.
For more information about fireworks safety, public fireworks displays and the fireworks laws for your area, check the Celebrate Safely website at http://www.wsp.wa.gov/fire/fireworks.htm.
The State Fire Marshal's Office is a Bureau of the Washington State Patrol, providing fire and life safety services to the citizens of Washington State including inspections of state licensed facilities, plan review of school construction projects, licensing of fire sprinkler contractors and pyrotechnic operators, training Washington States firefighters, and collecting emergency response data.

Are You Codependent?
Codependency is a complex issue, like a tree with many branches. Though there are several definitions out there, here's a simple version. Codependency happens when you lose yourself by focusing on others at your own expense. Seeking approval becomes more important than self-care.
Codependency develops in childhood as a response to caregivers being unavailable or inconsistent. It's common in families with addiction, but also found when there is mental illness, depression, trauma, rage and child abuse.
While the alcoholic is obsessed with the substance, the codependent is obsessed with the alcoholic. But you can struggle with codependency even when there's no addiction. It's a dysfunctional relationship pattern of control, unrealistic expectations and excessively helping others.
Here are some traits to consider if you think you may be codependent.
Characteristics of Codependency
Focusing primarily on another person's needs or behaviors
Getting into relationships with addicts, alcoholics, or people with lots of problems
Difficulty knowing or asking for what you need
Being too generous and giving at your own expense
Low self-esteem or feeling superior (or right)
Hiding true feelings in order to keep the peace
Difficulty communicating directly especially if someone is upset
People pleasing becomes more important than self care
A pattern of unexpressed anger that triggers resentment and feeling like a victim
Making Negative Assumptions
People who struggle with codependency often make negative assumptions in their relationships. These assumptions trace back to childhood where you learned that your needs weren't important. You learn to focus on being the good girl, or the over-achiever.
You seek approval in others because you don't know how to give it to yourself. These behaviors start in childhood but cause problems in adult relationships.
Assumptions like...
"If I say no, you'll get mad at me."
"I have to be what you want me to be to be loved."
"If you're upset, it must be my fault."
"I can't ask for what I want because that means I'm selfish."
"It's more important for me to please you than take care of myself."
Starting the Recovery Process
Recovering from codependency takes time and lots of practice! The first step is becoming aware of what behaviors are hurting you and your relationships. Codependency affects several different areas like self-care, boundaries, how you pick partners, self-esteem, and communication styles but there are many more. Because so many areas are affected, recovery takes time and plenty of support.
Here are some areas to focus on in recovery.
Identify relationship patterns. Do the same things frustrate you in relationships?
Begin to set boundaries and say no when needed.
Focus on self-care by getting enough sleep, eating well, exercising, avoid over committing.
Communicate directly by using "I" statements instead of avoiding conflict.
Let yourself feel your feelings. Hiding how you feel creates resentment.
Examine old beliefs of putting yourself last that need to change.
Benefits of Codependency
You have a huge heart but that's not the problem. Excessively helping others is a sign of codependency but when done in moderation it's considered a strength. The desire to please others is the hallmark of codependency. Click here to read about The Benefits of Codependency. It's giving at your own expense that causes suffering.
Final thoughts
The goal of codependency recovery is finding the balance between caring for others and taking care of you. Redirect the focus to participating in your own life. Pay attention to what you need first before responding to what others need. This requires challenging that old beliefs that says you have to put others first.
Change takes time but pain is the greatest motivator. When you find yourself struggling with depression, anxiety or feeling sick from worrying, it's time to get help. It's okay to take steps towards changing these patterns. You just need the right tools and support.
I always recommend Al-Anon, a 12 step program that provides free group support. Here you'll learn how to heal childhood pains that create unhealthy relationship patterns. One day at a time you can recover and even thrive whether the alcoholic is still drinking or not. For more information read How to Start Recovering from Codependent Relationships.

Market Watch | The French connection
Earlier it was the Dow and Asian markets that dominated mind space, at least for people who watch out for global cues every day, reports Udayan Mukherjee.business Updated: Aug 09, 2007 20:59 IST
Earlier, it was the Dow and Asian markets that dominated mind space, at least for people who watch out for global cues every day. Now, after the French kiss of death, Europe has to be taken seriously as well. The sub-prime problem is no longer a localised cancer, it is spreading to other parts of the world. France's biggest bank BNP Paribas has frozen three of its funds, claiming it can no longer calculate their net asset values from sticky underlying assets.
More European banks and funds may follow.
Whatever the US Fed may say, this problem has not quite blown over yet.
The way our markets reacted on Thursday was also quite telling. This was a market that had just rallied 600 points from its lows and it just fell off a cliff at the first hint of trouble from a European bank. That is the extent of underlying edginess at this point. The screen may be flashing green but fear is lurking just beneath the surface. Fear of the unknown; this is not about local interest rates or an earnings slowdown, things we understand and can quantify; it is something most of us do not have the foggiest idea about. Also, we do not know if the impact is only on sentiment or serious liquidity withdrawals are to be expected from our market as a consequence of this global turmoil. Since there are very few answers, it is a case of the blind leading the blind, with all global markets mimicking each other.
Trading continues to be fraught with hazard. The sell-the-morning-rally strategy did not work out, people who went long would have lost money too on Thursday. This is a graveyard for traders. While investors are okay with a buy-the-dips strategy so far, they may need to modify it to buy the dips "slowly". The problem with a market that keeps bouncing back to new highs is that investors' eyes start lighting up on every pullback. This time, maybe it is prudent to go slow and let the global situation play out for a bit, even if that means missing out on a few opportunities. Better safe than sorry, as they say.

Finally technology solves a worthy problem: how to keep canned beer colder longer.
The secret to the new Labatt can is a wrap-around label, developed by Dupont, with a thin layer of polymer insulation between two layers of Melinex film.
And if that isn't enough to get you hot about cold:
The insulation fights the three main causes of warm beer – summer heat, condensation and the tight grip of a sweaty palm. Chant said beer will keep cold up to twice as long in the new can. And the new can feels better. "It feels great in your hand, it really does. It's a little bit softer."
I feel dirty now.

Epistolary style of writing…personal and intimate.
To help define epistolary writing, I'd like to provide an example below.
Dear, Hadley
Tomorrow I head out with the Eskimos to explore the arctic. This will be my last letter until I return to civilization, as I won't be carrying any technological devices for communication. In two weeks we can continue with our modern style of communication through email and blogs. For now, however, I hope I can express how much I'm going to miss our Tuesday evening tea and Yahtzee. And the warm sun that we took runs under on Saturdays. Play a hand for me, and run a couple of extra miles for me. When you go to the store, buy a box of the Eskimo Pies and think of me with each bite. I'll be thinking of you.
So, when I think of epistolary writing, I think of people communicating through personal and perhaps intimate conversations: letter, blogs, email, etc…As in the Adam and Abigail letters, epistolary style is on a personal level. It may involve two people, or it may involve a group of people.
Using epistolary writing in fiction or nonfiction gives the author the opportunity to distinguish her or his voice that's attractive enough in reaching the reader. The difference in fiction is that the epistolary style can give each character a unique voice, making them more colorful. It can also help develop the character's feelings and emotions for the reader. As a result the character's personality is revealed, along with her or his flaws and challenges.
Stephen King's Carrie, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Alice Walker's The Color Purple, are some examples of novels where the author uses the epistolary style of writing.
When I think of history, I think of events and people that have left some mark in a historical timeline that has some how shaped the society I live in today. Reading materials before my time, I understand that my interpretation will not be exactly the same as others. This brings me to my other thought on history. It's a fact the Native Americans lost the land they once owned and for the most part, don't live as they did before the "white man" rushed their land in search for gold. However, the perspective of how it was handled is just that, perspective. Some, including me, believe the Native Americans were right to fight for their land, and that they were defending their home and people. Sitting Bull's story is told through a Lakota Indian, a relative of Sitting Bull. He explained how mistreated the Native Americans were because of the "white man's" greed for gold. On the other hand, there are people and books or letters written during that time that praise the white army and general Custard for invading the Lakota territory and attacking them. So history is shaped by cultural perspective.
I don't think there's any particular strategy one can use to evaluate history. There is the beliefs they currently hold. Furthermore, it's based on how they are influenced by the society they live in, the religious group they might belong to, and the political views they hold amongst other thing. The factual data of materials and events separate from one's culture and time opens the door for a variety of perceptions. This would include the historical journey of epistolary writing, as it has gone from sending letters( which is still popular, I'm sure somewhere) to using the style electronically. One way or the other, the personal and intimate purpose are both still there.
A link to some novels that use epistolary style:
