What infections can you get from swimming pools?
Germs like crypto, E. coli, and giardia are spread in public pools where chlorine and pH levels are too low. Symptoms of all three illnesses include diarrhea, weight loss, nausea, vomiting, dehydration, and stomach cramps.
Can you get a staph infection from a swimming pool?
Staph does not survive long in recreational water like pools and hot tubs that maintain recommended pH and chlorine levels. It is most likely to spread when it comes into contact with an uncovered cut or scrape.
Can diseases be transmitted through swimming pools?
Shigella is transmitted directly or indirectly via the fecal-oral route and may occur due to the ingestion of contaminated food or water. Of great significance is the low infective dose of between 10-100 organisms. This disease may be acquired by swimming in contaminated surface waters or pools and spas.
Can swimming pools cause urinary tract infections?
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are another culprit of swimming pool season. A UTI occurs when bacteria travels up the urethra and travels through the urine into the bladder. The offending bacteria can come from icky pool water, not showering after, or from sitting around in a damp bathing suit.
Can you get a bacterial infection from a swimming pool?
With a group in a pool, it is pretty much a collective bathtub. Germs that turn up in swimming pool water include bacteria like E. coli, Salmonella, Camplobacter, noroviruses, and parasites. While treatment with chlorine can kill germs in swimming pools, it takes time for the chlorine to do its job.26 мая 2017 г.
What kills staph infection on skin?
Mupirocin has antimicrobial activity against staphylococcal and streptococcal species and is prescribed for topical treatment of skin infections as well as eradication of S. aureus (both MSSA and MRSA) nasal carriage.
How do you waterproof a swimming wound?
Covering Your Wound
Using waterproof plasters and bandages to cover wounds will help to protect them while you swim so that they can heal properly. Before applying a plaster or bandage, it’s essential to clean the wound so that you’re not trapping any bacteria underneath the plaster or bandage.
What does a staph pimple look like?
One or More Swollen Red Bumps Draining Pus
Sometimes MRSA can cause an abscess or boil. This can start with a small bump that looks like a pimple or acne, but that quickly turns into a hard, painful red lump filled with pus or a cluster of pus-filled blisters.
Are swimming pools full of germs?
Germs can be found almost anywhere, including in swimming pools and hot tubs. This means that proper cleaning and maintenance of your pool and hot tub are essential to preventing getting sick while swimming.4 мая 2020 г.
What happens if someone poops in the pool?
It is true that the chlorine disinfects but the normal level of chlorine won’t cut it. All fecal material contains bacteria that cause Recreational Water Illnesses or RWIs. Bacteria like E Coli, Hepatitis A, Giardia and Crypto parasite can all be transferred to the water when there is poop present.
How dirty are swimming pools?
There’s probably poop in the pool, too
A recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that 1 in 8 public pools, hot tubs, and water playgrounds were shut down because of health and safety violations, including excessively dirty water.17 мая 2019 г.
How do you prevent UTIs from swimming pools?
Talk to the pool staff about how the pool is cared for. You can lower your chances of getting a UTI by changing out of wet bathing suits and sweaty clothes quickly. Germs tend to grow best in warm, moist places. The summer’s heat and humidity can increase the risk for UTIs, so be sure to drink enough water.
What happens if you pee in the pool?
While this may seem merely unappealing, a 2014 study suggested that urine can actually combine with the chlorine disinfectant in swimming pool water to make potentially harmful chemicals. The researchers recommend that all swimmers avoid urinating in swimming pools to prevent these chemicals from forming.

With the panchayat elections scheduled on July 3,and most of the teachers on election duty,the government schools will function normally only from July 5 instead of July 1,the official date of reopening of the schools after the vacations. As per the information procured from the education department,nearly 1.5 lakh teaching and non-teaching staff have been deployed on election duty.
Around 7,000 teachers,including 4,852 from secondary schools,have been deployed from Amritsar. From Gurdaspur nearly 43,000 teachers are on election duty while from Hoshiarpur the the figure is pegged at 4,000. Also,from Kapurthala 2,300 teachers would be manning the lection booths. In Nawanshar and Jalandhar around 6,500 and 5,000 teachers are on election duty respectively. At least 20,000 others have been roped in from Moga,Faridkot,Firozpur,Ludhiana,Ropar Bathinda,Mohali and Fatehgarh Sahib.
As per the sources,there are many schools in the state from where all the teachers have been deployed on election duty.
Some of the teachers on election duty said that they may go to schools on July 1,but wont be attending the for next three days. They said,it wont be possible to resume duty on July 4 as the counting of votes of the polling held a day earlier may extend till late in the night.

Phil Dwyer Orchestra, Changing Seasons
Changing Seasons (Alma 10252) covers in a little over a half-hour the four seasons. It is an ambitious work written by Phil Dwyer for his Phil Dwyer Orchestra, featuring the fine violonist Mark Fewer. Both the solo violin part and the work as a whole rather successfully straddle the fence between a vibrantly exuberant big band jazz sound and an orchestral classicism. Some of the tutti big band passages sound a bit on the generic side, a la the Jones-Lewis band of years back, and there is the occasional hint of the Gil Evans's touch. But the strength of the work is when that combines with orchestral writing and the very appealing fusoid solo violin performance.
The 35 minutes go quickly and there is much good music to be heard in that time frame. It's a very engaging listen. Bravo Mark Fewer, Bravo Phil Dwyer.


Sharing with lawmakers in the House Homeland Security Committee on November 16, FBI Director Christopher Wray said that China steals more personal and business data from Americans than all other countries combined.
Fox News cited Wray saying, “China’s vast hacking program is the world’s largest, and they have stolen more Americans’ personal and business data than every other nation combined.”
He also said that Chinese apps like TikTok pose a threat to the data security of U.S. citizens.
Wray suggested that China’s regime could use TikTok to collect data on millions of users. And the force that dominates China can also control recommendation algorithms for activities that influence users.
Wray’s comment supports the opinion of Brendan, one of five commissioners at the Federal Communications Commission.
Brendan Carr told Axios in an interview published on November 1 that the U.S. government should ban TikTok.
He said, “I don’t believe there is a path forward for anything other than a ban.”
He added, “a world in which you could come up with sufficient protection on the data that you could have sufficient confidence that it’s not finding its way back into the hands of the [the Chinese Communist Party] CCP.”
Therefore, Carr believes separating TikTok’s U.S.-based branch from its headquarters in China was pointless.

On Feb. 4, a pickup truck-sized asteroid called 2011 CQ1 was spotted zipping only 7,000 miles above the Earth’s surface — a distance slightly less than the diameter of the Earth!
The Catalina Sky Survey detected the interplanetary vagabond just few hours before closest approach to our planet.
That is the closest near miss on record, beating the previous record holder, a rock that buzzed Earth in 2004 with the dubious name, FU162.
Now, the asteroid 2011 CQ1 didn’t get “bent” but its orbit sure did.
The rock’s trajectory was deflected by 60 degrees as it whipped around deep inside Earth’s gravitational space warp. It was like a pinball ball bouncing off of a bumper. Short of collisions with planets, that’s the biggest orbital change ever recorded by observers.
Asteroid sleuth Donald Yeomans of NASA’s Jet Propulsion laboratory said the trajectory change switched the object’s “tracks” from a so-called “Apollo-class” (where the object would stay farther away form Earth) to an “Aten-class” orbit where the asteroid spends almost all of its time inside the Earth’s orbit.
But don’t worry, a direct impact by something this size would burn up on our atmosphere, producing a spectacular fireball.
During this fleeting encounter with the space rock the Earth’s orbit was ever-so minutely modified in the gravitational exchange.
According to chaos theory, this means that many millions of years from now, the Earth’s orbit may have been substantially altered by this seemingly tiny event.
In recent years, computers have become powerful enough to simulate the formation and evolution of planetary systems over many billions of years. Simulations predict that gravitational encounters between objects large and small have been rearranging the solar system since it formed some 4.6 billion years ago.
In the solar system’s early days, the planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune migrated farther from the sun though gravitational pinball with smaller bodies. They piled the debris into the Kuiper belt of comets and icy dwarf planets.
Planetary systems reshaped by gravitational scatter look more like the norm than the exception around other stars.
A carefully programmed series of asteroid/minor planetary body close encounters with Earth could be used by our distant descendants to modify our orbit such that we nudge our planet farther from the sun as our star grows hotter and brighter in the coming billion years.
The problem with twiddling with Mother Nature is that in such an orbital modification, chaos theory — one again — predicts the possibility of a planetary wild card.
The orbits of other planets could be destabilized if we decided to change Earth’s zip code. And, the solar system, which lives on the brink of dynamical chaos, could come unglued.
So it might be more prudent just to terraform Mars and relocate to it, rather than modifying the Earth’s orbit. And, billions of years from now terraform Titan — which will be a balmy place under the glare of a bloated red giant sun.
Asteroid 2011 CQ1 is so small it is unlikely ever to been seen coming this close to Earth again. But asteroids are like mass transit buses. If you miss one, another one will eventually come along.

There was a time in the late 20th century when the Italian soccer league (Serie A) was the go-to destination for some of the world’s elite talent. Since those heady days, however, Serie A has been surpassed in terms of playing talent, and global appeal, by other top flight divisions across Europe, none more so than the English Premier League, which consistently recruits some of the world’s top stars and continues to dominate world headlines.
But one man has made it his mission to transform Serie A into a global media company and return the league to the prominence it once enjoyed. Paolo Dal Pino was recently elected as new league President and, among his remarks at his first league assembly, he outlined his ambition to “accelerate the transformation of Lega Serie A into a media company competitive on an international scale”.
Dal Pino explained that the league must work as a content producer that distributes its product on multiple platforms. He acknowledged that the number of platforms is growing and that Serie A must structure itself to take advantage of the changing needs of the consumer, creating the most desirable product possible.
The new league president has already set up meetings with international distributors like Amazon and other OTT operators to increase the profile of the Serie A brand. Dal Pino indicated the league has the potential to double or even triple its revenues with an expanded international presence.
He predicts the sale of domestic rights for the next three-year cycle, from 2021-2024, will be completed within six months. Those international rights are currently held by the IMG agency, which is widely considered to be losing money on its annual investment of €380M.
In Canada, Serie A broadcast rights are owned by UK-based OTT streaming service, DAZN, which has sublicensed a six-game weekend package to conventional broadcaster TLN. Selected games are also available, in the Italian language, on the RAI Italia foreign service.
One significant change that would allow the league to maximize its reach both in Italy and abroad was the rescheduling of fixtures. Dal Pino is considering moving a Sunday afternoon match to a Saturday time slot, which would appeal to Serie A clubs, fans and broadcasters.
“We have gigantic potential that we cannot develop if we don’t think with this flexibility,” Dal Pino said.
Juventus have previously urged the league to schedule more early kickoffs to help grow their fan base in Asia. The EPL and Spain’s La Liga have both taken this step to maximize their viewership in the region.
This winter’s transfer market appears to be following a trend that was established with Juventus’ acquisition of Cristiano Ronaldo in the summer of 2018. More and more established elite players are making the move to Serie A to further their careers.
Since the surprising return of Zlatan Ibrahimovic to the league earlier this month, several more star players have made, or are rumoured to be making, an imminent move to Italy, including Ashley Young, Simon Kjaer, Victor Moses and Christian Eriksen.
As Serie A continues to draw interest from the world’s top talents (and their agents), the league must be willing to explore all opportunities to expand its reach to other global markets through traditional and emerging platforms, in order to engage existing supporters and a potentially broader fan base in underserved regions around the world.

Annual retainer fee buys patients more time with their doctors
Frustrated with a changing healthcare system that has resulted in longer work days and less time with patients, a growing number of doctors in California and across the nation are turning to a new type of practice — concierge medicine.
The model is simple: Doctors charge their patients an annual fee and in turn, give them more time and attention.
Rising costs and shrinking insurance reimbursements have prompted doctors to search for innovative ways to keep their solo practices afloat. Concierge medicine, practiced by more than 5,000 physicians nationwide, provides them with extra income and allows them to limit their patient rolls.
Michael T. Duffy, a physician in Beverly Hills, recently made the decision to switch from traditional private practice to concierge medicine. He hopes to reduce his patient load from 2,000 to about 400.
“I was just spending more and more hours working and finding that the revenue was decreasing and my overhead was increasing,” he said. “I felt I needed to make a change.”
Concierge medicine started in the 1990s in Seattle and has steadily grown in popularity, according to physician organizations and a medical ethics journal. But critics say it fosters two-tiered medicine, where patients who cannot afford the extra fees are cut off from their doctors. And if too many physicians make the shift, experts say it could exacerbate the existing shortage of primary care doctors — especially when millions more Americans qualify for insurance in 2014 under national health reform.
The practices “raise ethical concerns that warrant careful attention, particularly if retainer practices become so widespread as to threaten access to care,” according to theAmerican Medical Assn.guidelines on concierge medicine, also known as retainer or personalized medicine. The guidelines also say that the physicians shouldn’t abandon their patients.
Matt Jacobson, a businessman who started SignatureMD in Marina del Rey in 2006, said doctors who sign on don’t want to practice “production line, seven-minute visit medicine.” Patients who pay an annual fee of from $1,500 to $2,500 receive a variety of perks, such as round-the-clock access to the doctor and on-time appointments for that day or the next. The fee may depend on where the doctor practices and the specialty.
Concierge doctors often provide a comprehensive physical and extra screenings, as well as helping coordinate their patients’ care with specialists or when they go to the hospital. Most doctors continue to take insurance, but others only take cash.
Everyone deserves to be healthy, but healthcare is a business, Jacobson said. Unless they pay for it, everyone doesn’t have the right to choose their provider, he said.
“Some people view going to a private school as the most important thing,” he said. “This is the same thing. Some people view healthcare as very important. They are going to cut their cable bill to see the exact doctor they want.”
One of Duffy’s patients, Sandra Collins, 50, said she was initially reluctant to pay the additional $1,800 since she already pays $380 each month in private insurance premiums. But in the end, Collins, a make-up artist, said she didn’t want to go to another doctor.
“I don’t want to lose Dr. Duffy,” she said.”If something does happen, I know he’s going to be there for me.”
Russell Douthit, 83, said he and his wife dipped into his savings so they could stay with Duffy. Douthit, who is on Medicare, said he wanted a doctor who would closely track his health and wouldn’t rush him through appointments.
“Medical care is certainly our No. 1 thing,” he said. “Things are starting to happen that happen to people my age. I am going to need some attention.”
Duffy said shaking up his practice after more than 20 years has not been easy. He said some of his patients have embraced it and some have questioned it, but everyone understands it. The patients who stay with him will have more direct access, an extensive physical exam, more screening and longer appointments. He said he planned to hire someone to look after the rest of his patients.
“I do not view it as any victory to have to tell them I can’t see them anymore,” he said. But he added, “Going broke is not the solution to serving more patients.”
Another SignatureMD doctor, Robert Saltman, in St. Louis, said he resisted switching for a long time but finally realized that he didn’t have a choice. “My wife said, ‘Your patients are going to live to a ripe old age and you are going to die early,’” he said.
He went from seeing between 20 and 25 patients a day to seeing between eight and 14, and he doubled the length of the appointments. Now, Saltman said he has the time to be proactive with patients and emphasize prevention and lifestyle changes. He hired a younger doctor to care for the primary care patients who chose not to pay the retainer.
Saltman said he didn’t become a concierge doctor to increase his income. “I did it to continue to do something I love without being resentful,” he said.
One of his patients, Mitch Waks, said he had several health issues, including high cholesterol and blood pressure. Nine months later, he said he was 60 pounds lighter and his cholesterol and blood pressure have dropped to normal, and he credits Saltman’s personalized attention for the improvement.
Waks said he can justify the ethical dilemmas of paying his doctor extra for personalized medicine even as so many lack basic healthcare. “Is it bad that I am able to buy a BMW rather than a Chevy?” he said. “I don’t think so.”
The American Academy of Family Physicians doesn’t consider concierge medicine the ideal model for primary care, said President Glen Stream. But Stream said he recognizes why physicians have made the switch.
“It is an adaptation to a dysfunctional healthcare environment,” he said. “We recognize people’s need to adapt, to be able to provide services to their patients. As long as they are providing good-quality care, then it is something we understand.”

A new study has shown that people who start smoking cannabis on a frequent basis before the age of 16 tend to be worse drivers later in life than those who abstain from the drug- even when they’re not high.
To conduct the research, researchers at McLean Hospital in Belmont recruited 45 healthy participants to complete a 4.2 mile virtual course using a driving simulator. Of those in the cohort, 17 did not smoke marijuana while 14 consumed the drug heavily from before the age of 16, and 14 started smoking later in life. The virtual course included stop signs, traffic lights, yields, merges, pedestrians and other vehicles. Each participant was graded on their ability to follow traffic rules, stay in their own lanes and their responses to sudden obstacles and potential dangers.
For the study, those defined as “heavy” smokers had consumed cannabis for five out of the previous seven days prior the simulator, were said to have smoked at least 1,500 times, and tested positive for cannabinoids on biological tests. Prior driving with the simulator, all users had to abstain from the drug for at least 12 hours.
In their results, the researchers found that those who began smoking cannabis before the age of 16 tended to be poorer drivers than those who started later, or who simply abstained from the drug altogether. However, when the researchers controlled for self-reported impulsivity among the participants, they found that differences between the groups in driving performance was less significant, suggesting that impulsivity alone among those in the heavy-smoking group may have accounted for much of the variance in simulator values.
Although the study found something of a correlation between marijuana usage and driving ability, Staci Gruber, one of the study’s leaders, warned against taking her results as evidence against mariuana usage. Given the small sample size of her study, alongside surmounting evidence demonstrating its utility in improving cognitive abilities when used for medicinal purposes, she said, “This doesn’t mean if you put heavy cannabis users on the road they’re going to mow people down and drive horribly — it doesn’t mean they’d hit impaired levels of driving in the real world...It just means there are differences.”

Ratnasingam, Jegatheswaran and Ioras, F. (2010) Static and fatigue strength of oil palm wood used in furniture. Journal of Applied Sciences Research, 10 (11). pp. 986-990. ISSN 1816-157X

A study was undertaken to evaluate the edge-wise static and fatigue strengths of oil palm wood, as the material is being promoted for furniture applications. The static and fatigue tests were conducted using a 3-point bending test-rig. The fatigue test was carried out at selected stress levels that corresponded to specific percentages of the material's ultimate strength (Modulus of Rupture (MOR)). The results showed that Oil Palm Wood (OPW) had a much lower bending and ultimate strength compared to the other common furniture wood materials, due to its lower density. In terms of it’s the fatigue strength although oil palm wood showed lower fatigue resistance compared to the other common wood materials used in furniture. The result found that fatigue life of OPW amounted to over 1 million cycles when the stress level was 30% of the MOR for OPW, but decreased to 203,000 cycles for OPW at a stress level of 50%. On this account, the allowable design stresses for the OPW could be set at 40% of its MOR. Although, the study showed that OPW does not perform as well as other common wood materials used in furniture, with a larger safety factor, OPW can be successfully used as an alternative furniture material.

Murray sees red in Town win
Ipswich Town U21 1 Brighton & Hove Albion U21 0: NATHAN Ellington’s strike after 31 minutes gave a strong Town U21 side a narrow victory over Brighton this morning at Playford Road.
The former Wigan man slid in at the back post to add the finishing touch to Byron Lawrence’s cross from the right.
Soon after, Town were reduced to ten men when Ronan Murray was shown a straight red card for a head butt on Brighton’s Theo Jones.
The visitors enjoyed plenty of possession during the second period but they failed to trouble Michael Crowe in the Town goal, with Shamir Goodwin squandering their best chance when he pulled his shot wide from six yards.

The term traunch refers to a series of payments that are to be made periodically only if certain goals are reached.
A practical example of the use of this concept can be found in start-up campaigns, where split fundraisers are often made and continued only if a certain goal is reached.
This particular staggered methodology is used for several reasons, such as the need to have to limit risk through a time-diluted investment approach.
Let's say a start-up needed $10 million in funding. Since the investor might find it too risky to invest 10 million in one lump sum, then he or she might decide to do so in a diluted manner, such as through 4 traunches of 2.5 million each.
This means that, from the investor's point of view, splitting the investment into traunches reduces its risk. Then, depending on the startup's performance, the investor may decide to proceed with the payment of the next traunch.
Since this procedure could be detrimental to the start-up, it is necessary to find a clear counter point that allows both parties to gain benefits. Where on the one hand the investor needs to be guaranteed a reduction in the risk of its investment, while the start-up needs to be guaranteed funding that, although it may not represent 100 percent of what it needs, can still help it grow and develop.
The need to have to reduce the risk of investments in start-ups lies precisely in the fact that they are usually projects whose future development cannot be known in advance.
From an investment perspective, we could say that investing in a start-up represents a potentially very profitable operation, but at the same time a risky one since one does not yet know the stability of the company one is investing in.
- Traunch is a term for a type of diluted payment by an investor.
- It is used in environments such as venture capital and start-ups
- It is a necessary measure to ensure a reduced risk margin for the investor
- In certain cases, start-ups may find it difficult to manage diluted funding because they are unable to fully carry out their intentions
- In the event that the start-up does not achieve predetermined goals, the investor will not make the next traunch payment

Meet Laura Taninger.
Laura is the heroine of Gen LaGreca’s political thriller “Just the Truth,” an investigative reporter and president of the news division of Taninger Enterprises.
Founded as a newspaper nearly 70 years ago by Laura’s grandfather, Julius Taninger, the paper and the other media outlets of Taninger Enterprises have always abided by the motto engraved in stone over the entrance to its headquarters: “Find the truth wherever it hides.” Laura’s grandfather exemplified those words in his actions, his reporting, and his editorials, and passed that ideal of truth-telling, no matter the consequences, to his children and to Laura.
Truth Versus Lies
But changes in politics and journalism have brought Laura and her firebrand sister, Kate, editor of a conservative college newspaper, into conflict with their father and two siblings. All of them sit on the board of Taninger Enterprises. Under the threat of advertisers lost because of controversy and a behind-the-scenes government crackdown, Clark and two of his children, Irene and Billie, want Laura to retreat from her investigation of a major story.
And the story? Laura has become suspicious about the Voting Fairness Act, which gives the federal government the power to take the place of states in tabulating votes for federal elections and to use an electronic system for counting those votes. As she digs into financial discrepancies of the money budgeted for this system, one of her sources is murdered, various divisions of Taninger Enterprises come under federal investigation, and Kate is the victim of threats both from a mob on campus and from college officials.
On her nightly news broadcast, “Just the Truth,” Laura refuses to back down and continues to air the evidence she uncovers revealing possible fraud in the new voting system. Harassed by the government and other news media, Clark, Irene, and Billie eventually demand that Laura either abandon the story or step down from her positions as broadcaster and news division president.
A Mirror for Our Present Unrest
Meanwhile, young Kate Taninger is undergoing her own trial by fire. When Kate publishes an editorial in her college newspaper defending her sister’s investigation, she finds herself set upon by violent protesters. These radicals are paid by a private group, but with the connivance of deep-state employees linked to the administration of Ken Martin, the United States president.
Collier University’s other student newspaper, joined by mainstream news media, also launches an attack on Kate and Laura. Like her sister, Kate soon finds herself facing a life-changing choice: either retract and apologize for her editorial or risk being booted out of the university.
Given the pandemic and the socialist mobs that today dominate our news, we must wonder what crystal ball LaGreca consulted while writing her novel. The plot and themes of “Just the Truth” could not be more pertinent to that news and our current unrest. Here we see the corruption of our politics, the machinations of the “deep state,” the growing threat of federal agencies to private enterprise, and the constant calls to change our way of voting. Here too we see the means by which mobs “spontaneously” appear out of nowhere to attack free speech and American liberty, and the misinformation and sometimes downright deception provided to us via “fake news.”
The Breitbart Doctrine Add-On
By now, some readers may be scratching their heads and thinking: “OK, Jeff Minick, we get the gist of this novel, written by an author unfamiliar to many of us, but what on earth does this book have to do with Arts & Culture?”
Let’s take a look.
Andrew Breitbart, a well-known conservative writer now deceased, was famous for his Breitbart doctrine, the notion that “politics is downstream from culture.” By this he meant that our politics are shaped by popular culture. The culture of Weimar Germany helped bring about Nazism; the American culture of the 1960s and 1970s is the grandparent of our current political disorder.
But Breitbart’s doctrine fails to recognize another development. To employ a different metaphor, let me suggest that when politics gains the saddle and seizes the reins, culture becomes the horse and not the rider. For the past century, whenever dictatorial governments came to power, culture has acted as a handmaiden of the state. In Hitler’s Germany, Stalin’s Russia, Mussolini’s Italy, Castro’s Cuba, and elsewhere, art and culture became tools of propaganda used to glorify the ruling party. In these cases, culture is downstream from politics.
In some instances, politics has sought to eradicate culture. The Chinese Cultural Revolution attempted to erase thousands of years of traditional Chinese arts and social practices. In the 1970s, the Khmer Rouge instituted the “killing fields” and tried to wipe out traditional Cambodian culture. In America today, we are witnessing “cancel culture” along with mobs intent on toppling statues of historic figures and wiping out wholesale certain men, women, and events from our history.
When politics governs culture, ordinary citizens become afraid to speak their minds. The Soviets imprisoned and then banished Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Thomas Mann fled Hitler’s Germany, and millions of others in the last hundred years, most of them ordinary people, died in camps at the hands of fascists and communists, often for dissident viewpoints or “incorrect” thinking.
Here in the land of the free, we have created an American way to shut people down. The barbed wire and iron bars of our gulags are electronic, and we keep our fellow citizens in line through the threats of doxing, cancel culture, and savage mob attacks on platforms like Twitter. According to a recent Pew poll, 62 percent of Americans now practice self-censorship while at work or on social media, afraid to speak their minds for fear that assaults by others may cost them social status, friends, and even their jobs.
It Can Happen Here
Which brings us back to “Just the Truth.”
In LaGreca’s tale, we see what happens when investigative journalists bring their political prejudices rather than objectivity to a story; we see how the left uses words like “bigot” and “racist” as weapons; we see the evil that occurs when truth goes out the window, when corrupt politicians arbitrarily exercise their power, and when citizens are bludgeoned into silence by the politically correct.
Surely, few of us ever believed that America could become a leftist dictatorship. Even now, when some of our governors and mayors issue rules and regulations as if they were all-powerful potentates, or allow riots to continue unchecked in places like Portland, many of us think it can’t happen here.
But it can happen here. It is happening here.
And we need more real-life Laura Taningers to find the truth wherever it hides and to keep the spotlight of that truth shining brightly on those out to destroy our culture, our country, and our liberty.

The Greater Philadelphia region’s expertise in talent development, research advancement, and scientific collaboration is the focus of a feature in the February 2023 edition of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology News (GEN News). The article, “Fueling Growth through Partnership in Greater Philadelphia,” will serve as a new tool for the Chamber’s Business Attraction & Expansion team, who will have it in tow when they attend the World Vaccine Congress in Washington, D.C. (April 3-6, 2023), and CPHI North America, held this year at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia (April 25-27, 2023).
For those looking to locate or expand in the region, the profile highlights collaboration among life sciences organizations and industry leaders in Greater Philadelphia. Through those interviewed, the article also introduces prospects to peers who are already operating in the market and can serve as a resource.
Among the region’s life sciences leaders is Eric B. Kmiec, Ph.D., Executive Director and Chief Scientific Officer for ChristianaCare’s Gene Editing Institute, who discusses efforts to attract a more diverse talent pipeline through a partnership with the Franklin Institute’s STEM Scholars program. High school students have the opportunity to conduct experiments with CRISPR technology. The article states they are also introduced to graduate student mentors and accomplished scientists so that they can learn about career pathways in STEM and biotechnology.
Another contact is Rebecca Ahrens-Nicklas, MD, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), who describes her mentorship with Beverly Davidson, Ph.D., CHOP’s Chief Scientific Strategy Officer, who she contacted to better understand how to apply gene therapy to some of the rare diseases she was treating. The article quotes Davidson as saying, “It was really fortuitous, because the patients that Becca sees clinically are the ones that I’ve studied in my laboratory for a number of years. Of course, I was studying animal models and she was studying actual patients.” These collaborations between veteran scientists and early-career physicians are routine at CHOP and often yield exciting developments. As the article states, “Marriages between cutting-edge research and clinical work are common in the region’s scientific community.”
A third area of expertise for the Greater Philadelphia region that is highlighted in the GEN News feature is scientific collaboration. The article introduces the reader to two more industry leaders – Joseph Rucker, Ph.D., Scientific Co-Founder and Vice President of R&D at Integral Molecular, and Martin Lehr, CEO of Context Therapeutics – and describes their partnership.
As is outlined in the article, Rucker and Lehr had been well acquainted for years. The connection led to Lehr contacting Rucker about potential synergies and resulted in a research collaboration and licensing agreement to develop an anti-claudin 6 (CLDN6) bispecific monoclonal antibody for gynecologic cancer therapy. “In November 2022,” the article states, “they announced lead candidate CTIM-76 as a molecule for targeting CLDN 6-positive cancers.”
Through each of the three partnerships described above, the GEN News profile illustrates the collaboration that is present in Greater Philadelphia and its benefits. The abundance, proximity, and accessibility of talent, research institutions, and biotech companies make collaborations possible.
The February GEN News profile, and another piece published in the magazine in December 2022, titled “Hiring Smarter in Greater Philadelphia: Biotech companies fuel growth through untapped talent pools,” are part of the Chamber’s Cell and Gene Therapy Initiative. Through storytelling, the Chamber is educating key decision-makers about the region’s attributes in life sciences and cell and gene therapy, and working to generate interest from companies looking to locate or expand in Greater Philadelphia.
The sponsored content provides a way for the Chamber to reach a large targeted audience through GEN News print and online subscribers and with reprints for conference networking. We invite you to share the online versions with your contacts and on your social channels and use these profiles as part of your own conference outreach.

Disney’s production line of live-action remakes has been one of the Mouse House’s most lucrative revenue streams for the better part of a decade, with blockbuster re-tellings of animated classics always putting a sizeable dent in the box office regardless of what critics think. That being said, let’s hope the terrible Pinocchio was a one-off disaster, and not a sign of things to come.
Robert Zemeckis and Tom Hanks each won Academy Awards for directing and acting respectively for their first collaboration Forrest Gump, before re-teaming again for acclaimed survival thriller Cast Away and dead-eyed festive favorite The Polar Express. Individually and collectively, the A-list duo have enjoyed major success, but Pinocchio was a disappointment in every sense of the word.
Sending the $150 million adaptation of a perennially-beloved two-dimensional favorite direct to streaming was a questionable decision to begin with based on both the consistent commercial success of the Disney remakes and Hanks’ status as one of Hollywood’s most bankable stars, but it’s beginning to feel as though the studio knew it may have had a bomb on its hands.
In terms of reviews and reactions, Pinocchio was utterly trashed, as showcased by Rotten Tomatoes scores of 28 and 29 percent. Even more embarrassingly, it wasn’t even a hit on-demand. According to data collated by Nielsen, the film was only the sixth top-viewed titles across all platforms in its first week, and only rose as high as fifth the week later per Reelgood.
Nobody asked for it, nobody needed it, and as it turned out – nobody wanted to watch it, either. Then again, Pinocchio has been gaining a minor second wind on Disney Plus this week, with FlixPatrol revealing that it entered the Top 10 in 17 countries over the weekend. For the rest of us, we’ll wait for Guillermo del Toro’s Netflix version.

Duodenal Atresia and Repair (Pediatric)
MEDICAL ANIMATION TRANSCRIPT: Atresia of the duodenum is a birth defect in which the first part of a baby's small intestine, called the duodenum, is blocked. Located between the stomach and large intestine, the small intestine absorbs nutrients from food. The small intestine has three parts, the duodenum, the jejunum, and the ileum. The duodenum forms during the sixth week of pregnancy. Here you can see the tube that will become the digestive system. The duodenum grows just below the developing stomach. The cells inside the duodenum grow so fast that the tube becomes blocked for a while. Later, as part of normal development, the cells blocking the inside of the duodenum die off until the developing intestine is open again. By about the 10th week of pregnancy, for unknown reasons, the outside wall of the duodenum may not have grown properly. In addition, the cells blocking the inside of the duodenum may not have died off. As a result, a defect called duodenal atresia in which a part of the duodenum is blocked in one or more ways. It may be blocked by a web of tissue lining the inside or a section of the duodenum may be completely missing. Finally, the duodenum may be narrowed. Any of these types of atresia prevent the baby from absorbing nutrients from milk because the fluid can't pass through the duodenum. Duodenal atresia is not immediately life-threatening. But it will require in operation within a few days after birth to repair the blocked duodenum. Before the operation, a suction tube, or NG, inserted soon after birth through the nose or mouth, will remove excess fluid and air from the stomach. The baby will be given general anesthesia to put him or her to sleep for the entire operation. A breathing tube will be inserted through the nose or mouth and into the windpipe to help the baby breathe during the operation. Commonly, the surgeon will make an incision under the ribs on the right side. Next, the surgeon will carefully find the atresia, or narrow and blocked part of the baby's duodenum. Two incisions will be made in the duodenum above and below the atresia. The surgeon will use sutures to connect the two openings, thus, bypassing the atresia. Finally, the surgeon will close the skin incision with dissolvable sutures or skin closure strips. After the operation, the baby will be taken to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for monitoring. Pain medication will be given. The baby may continue to receive antibiotics through the IV. The baby will be released from the hospital within two to four weeks when the digestive system is working normally.

Memorial service on 69th anniversary of Navy's greatest battle
From Commander, Submarine Group Ten Public Affairs
Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay hosted a Battle of Midway Commemoration Ceremony June 3 at the World War II Submarine Veterans Memorial Pavilion.
The ceremony marked the 69th anniversary of the battle widely regarded as the turning point in the Pacific War.
"This battle highlighted the vast capability of our nation's Navy and the unmatched resolve of our Sailors," said Rear Admiral Barry Bruner, commander, Submarine Group Ten. "Nineteen submarines answered the call in that June of 1942, just as you continue to do sixty-nine years later. The Sailors at Midway, many of whom had survived Pearl Harbor, relentlessly brought the fight to the enemy while bringing hope to a Nation at war. Each one of you carries their legacy and fighting spirit."
The Battle of Midway took place June 4 through June 7, 1942, and highlighted the vast capability of Naval aviation and the resolve of Navy Sailors.
U.S. Navy carrier strike forces, augmented by shore-based bombers and torpedo planes, decisively defeated an Imperial Japanese navy carrier task force. It shaped joint and carrier warfare for the Navy in a calculated effort to meet the Japanese thrust at Midway and destroy the enemy's most potent form of naval power.
Adm. Chester Nimitz skillfully deployed the Navy's available aircraft carriers based on unimpeachable intelligence to meet the enemy and destroy their carriers.
The Japanese lost four large carriers - four of the six that had attacked Oahu on December 7, 1941. Additionally, Japan lost more than 100 trained pilots and more than 700 trained aircraft mechanics whose technical expertise could not be easily replaced.
The Americans lost USS Yorktown (CV 5) after her extensive contribution to the enemy's defeat. USS Hammann (DD 412) also sunk while assisting in Yorktown's attempted salvage.
The victory at Midway defeated the Japanese attempt to draw the U.S. carriers into decisive battle. The Japanese opportunity for victory was forever lost.

Navjot Singh Sidhu taken to hospital for medical check-up
23 May, 2022 | Pravina Srivastava
On Monday morning, Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu, who has been detained, was transported to the Rajindra Hospital in Patiala for a medical examination
On Monday morning, Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu, who has been detained, was transported to the Rajindra Hospital in Patiala for a medical examination.
On May 20, he was sent to Patiala Central Jail after the Supreme Court sentenced him to one year of solitary confinement in the 1988 road rage case. Sidhu was cleared of the charges of culpable homicide but convicted of the crime of voluntarily causing harm.
Sidhu was fined Rs 1,000 by the court, and his companion, Rupinder Singh Sandhu, was acquitted in the case.
Due to a lack of evidence in the case and the benefit of the doubt, the Sessions Court Judge of Patiala discharged Sidhu and his associate on September 22, 1999.
The families of the victims took the case to the Punjab and Haryana High Court, which found Sidhu guilty and sentenced him to three years in prison in 2006. Sidhu then appealed to the Supreme Court, appealing the order.
On December 27, 1988, Sidhu allegedly stomped on Gurnam Singh’s head, killing him.

Data regarding car accidents involving cell phone use and/or texting while driving has been limited in the past, but it’s slowly becoming available to the public. The information on this page reflects the most current 2007 and 2008 statistics regarding cell phone usage and text messaging during car accidents.
While the popularity of mobile phones has grown enormously in the past two decades, it’s still unclear how greatly cell phone calls and texting contribute to car crashes. What is clear is that talking on the phone and texting behind the wheel both lead to distraction, and driver inattention is the leading cause of car accidents.
In 2008, at any given moment, over 800,000 Americans were texting, making calls, or using a handheld cell phone while driving during the daytime. With distracted driving killing nearly 6,000 Americans in the same year, it’s no mystery that cell phone use is risky for drivers.
More and more states continue to enact cell phone driving laws to combat these risks. Many laws have been set up in Ohio, in certain cities and towns. However, with research about the effects of texting and hand-held usage still so young, it has yet to be seen just how much these laws will protect drivers.
Teen Driver Cell Phone and Texting Statistics
- Despite the risks, the majority of teen drivers ignore cell phone driving restrictions.
- Talking on a cell phone while driving can make a young driver’s reaction time as slow as that of a 70-year-old.
- 56% of teenagers admit to talking on their cell phones behind the wheel, while 13% admit to texting while driving. (Note: Because this information was given voluntarily by teens, actual cell phone use numbers may be much higher.)
- 48% of young Americans from 12-17 say they’ve been in a car while the driver was texting.
- 52% of 16- and 17-year-old teen drivers confess to making and answering cell phone calls on the road. 34% admit texting messaging while driving.
- In 2007, driver distractions, such as using a cell phone or text messaging, contributed to nearly 1,000 crashes involving 16- and 17-year-old drivers.
- Over 60% of American teens admit to risky driving, and nearly half of those that admit to risky driving also admit to text messaging behind the wheel.
- Each year, 21% of fatal car crashes involving teenagers between the ages of 16 and 19 were the result of cell phone usage. This result has been expected to grow as much as 4% every year.
- Almost 50% of all drivers between the ages of 18 and 24 are texting while driving.
- Over one-third of all young drivers, ages 24 and under, are texting on the road.
- Teens say that texting is their number one driver distraction.


The easiest part of reforming the Massachusetts State Police will be changing the way the state picks the leader of the law enforcement agency. The hardest — but most important — part will be changing the way the state picks the rank and file at the agency who patrol the state’s highways, investigate major crimes, and police Logan Airport, among other tasks.
With the agency now under a microscope because of a series of scandals and a national movement to reform policing, the Legislature is considering letting the governor pick a colonel from outside the State Police.
That’s a long-overdue reform, and that it’s part of both the House and Senate bills — as well as a police reform bill proposed by Governor Charlie Baker — gives it a good shot of passage this year. Forcing the governor to pick from within the ranks, as current law does, makes it more likely that leaders of the State Police will be products of its insular, male-dominated culture, not reformers of that culture.
Other proposals under consideration include establishing a police cadet program to broaden the pool of applicants and new certification and disciplinary procedures. According to the governor’s office, Colonel Christopher Mason, who was appointed in January, has already implemented new training in recognizing and avoiding implicit bias; in public outreach, de-escalation, and crisis communication; and in ethics.
Fine. But those steps won’t solve the underlying problem: a law enforcement agency dominated by white men with similar backgrounds. That takes a willingness to change the civil service rules that keep it that way — for example, the military veterans hiring preference. The points added to a veteran’s test score help explain why the State Police is 87.6 percent white and 95 percent male, according to statistics supplied by Baker’s office. Recruits who graduated from the state police academy were slightly more diverse: 77 percent white and 93 percent male. Veterans certainly deserve support from the state, but given the lack of diversity in the pool of veterans in Massachusetts, that needn’t take the form of a leg up in State Police hiring.
Legislators should also examine whether the State Police have grown more political than is appropriate for a law enforcement agency. State police investigators are assigned to assist district attorneys and the attorney general — creating what Tom Nolan, a visiting professor of sociology at Emmanuel College, and a retired Boston Police lieutenant, calls “a stranglehold” on the political system. Those who are protected by State Police details — like the governor and AG — develop personal friendships and loyalty to the institution. Elected county prosecutors are also protective of their handpicked investigators, and vice versa, bringing officers too close to politics. Meanwhile, a powerful union represents both troopers and trooper-sergeants, an awkward set-up for supervisors who are called upon to discipline underlings.
The State Police are now so burrowed into the political establishment that it’s easy to forget that the agency’s scope and mission has changed before, and could change again. Since the creation of the forerunner of the State Police, in 1865, the agency has gone through different iterations and efforts to rein it in. In 1895, lawmakers repealed the laws that set it up mostly to seize alcohol, and established in its place a small state detective force charged with aiding the attorney general and district attorneys. According to “State Police in the United States: A Socio-Historic Analysis,” by H.K. Bechtel, warnings about the dangers of creating a statewide police apparatus go back a century. In 1919, a prescient report by the American Institute of Criminal Law and Criminology predicted they would become militaristic and susceptible to corruption.
The most recent significant overhaul happened in 1992, when the Metropolitan District Police, the Registry of Motor Vehicle police, and the Capitol Police merged with the State Police. When that happened, the culture changed to “What’s in it for me versus what’s in it for we?” said Robert F. Long, a retired state detective lieutenant, who was part of an investigative team that captured surveillance footage of Whitey Bulger in the 1980s.
Nearly 30 years after the merger, that certainly describes the culture epitomized by the overtime abuse scandal that resulted in state and federal criminal prosecutions for what is essentially the theft of public funds.
One new leader — even one from the outside — can’t change that on his or her own. The Legislature should also require that troopers and sergeants belong to different unions, to avoid the inherent conflict when the same union represents both. It should depoliticize the State Police by limiting assignments to district attorney offices to short rotations, and cut elected officials out of the choice of which troopers are assigned to their office. And, ultimately, it should change the way the state hires troopers to produce a more diverse and less militarized agency.

When we learned that Andrea Gentl—passionate foodie, part-time jewelry maker, full-time traveler, and hunter and gatherer of all things beautiful—was taking an inspiration trip to Amsterdam, we jumped at the opportunity to tag along. She has, after all, built a photographic career by creating arresting, painterly images evocative of the Dutch Masters themselves. “I’m always searching for the authenticity and terroir of a region,” the New York–based Gentl says. “Not only is the city so alive right now, but it’s a particularly easy place to dive into—everyone is so open.” Here we get to experience Amsterdam, literally through Gentl’s lens.
Hotel the Exchange
Students from the Amsterdam Fashion Institute designed the rooms here, and each is wildly different, from one in an all-white palette to another whose walls are draped in exotic fabrics. The spaces aren’t large, but they’re affordable and unique. From the hotel, you can easily slip out onto a side street or one of the tiny cobblestoned alleys that crisscross the city like a spider web. For convenience and location—just off Dam Square, right in the city center—it’s hard to beat (Damrak 50; 31-20-523-0080; doubles from $122).
Lloyd Hotel & Cultural Embassy
The once gritty Eastern Docklands area, outside the city center, has come alive in the last few years with artists’ studios, busy restaurants, and hotels—including this one, housed in a former prison building from the 1920s. Go for one of the larger rooms on the top floor. My husband, Martin, and I stayed in one of the “swing rooms,” which have actual swings hanging in the middle of the room, along with a big freestanding bathtub (Oostelijke Handelskade 34; 31-20-561-3636; doubles from $102).
Most of Amsterdam’s best restaurants aren’t in the middle of the city—the warm, inviting As, for example, is on the border of Beatrixpark, a leafy, peaceful green space in the Zuideramstel neighborhood, which is known for its pretty bridges arcing over the canals. Here, the salads and side dishes consist of tubers, mushrooms, watercress, and wild berries foraged from Beatrixpark, while the bevy of chickens running around the restaurant’s backyard supply the eggs. My favorite plates were a whitefish from the North Sea with wild elderberry capers and a house-cured charcuterie board with local Dutch cheeses (Prinses Irenestraat 19; 31-20-644-0100; prix fixes from $54 for three courses).

About 2 decades ago - this would have been taboo. It was already a shocker to see a Sonic game on a Nintendo console, when "Sonic Adventure 2: Battle" released on the Nintendo GameCube, but what was even more of a shocker was when Sonic & Mario actually appeared in the same game, with the release of "Sonic & Mario: At the Olympic Games" on the Wii.
Recently, SEGA announced that it has 7 releases planned for the Wii U. Two of those seven releases have just been unveiled:
- New Mario & Sonic: Even though it's just another mini-game compilation, the Sonic & Mario series has picked up quite a lot of steam over the years. It's now immensely popular, and a new iteration is set to release later this year. With the power of the Wii U - the new game will now be boasting some (decent looking, if I may add) - HD graphics and full motion controls with the use of the Wii MotionPlus.
- Sonic Lost World: Rumors have been swirling from since the beginning of the year about what the next mainstream Sonic title would be. After missing releases of both "Sonic Generations" and "Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II" - it seemed like SEGA was pretty much ignoring the Wii when it came to Sonic games, outside of the M&S series. Now we know why. SEGA and Nintendo have partnered up for a new major Sonic title named "Sonic: Lost World" - which will be coming exclusively to the Wii U and 3DS later this year.
EA may be giving the Wii U and Nintendo a very striking cold shoulder right now, but it seems like SEGA is the one who has the true "unprecedented partnership" with Nintendo. Like I said before, two decades ago - this would be unrealistic. Nintendo and SEGA were dukeing it out to see which was the best. Now, they're BFFs. Who knew? SEGA may not be as big of a publisher as EA, but one can't deny that they do house some pretty popular franchises, nonetheless. With that being the case, coupled with another major studio - Ubisoft - the Wii U might end up getting some decent third-party support after all.

Eurostocks Fight Back From Early Losses
LONDON (Reuters) - European shares stabilized in early trading Wednesday after a brief dip at the open, as hopes of a takeover of French tobacco group Seita drove consumer cyclical shares higher.
Energy shares also rose as investors bid up Royal Dutch/Shell Group's shares ahead of the company's third quarter results Thursday.
But as rate setting central bank meetings in the eurozone and Britain loomed, equity investors found themselves in the unusual position of rooting for a tightening.
``As it is so widely anticipated it should be bad news if they don't tighten,'' said Alain Bokobza, European equity strategist at Societe Generale in Paris.
``An early tightening, be it European Central Bank or in England... should put downward pressure on long term yields,'' he said, explaining that this will give investors confidence that inflation will be kept under control.
Bourses in France, Britain and Germany were all between 0.13 and 0.32 percent lower.
The Bank of England's two-day Monetary Policy Committee meeting kicks off Wednesday with economists forecasting a 25 basis point hike in interest rates when its decision is announced by midsession Thursday.
Consensus is that the European Central Bank will also hike rates at its Thursday meeting, but economists are split between expecting a 25 or 50 basis point increase.
Bid Hopes Light Up Consumer Cyclical Sector
Trading in Seita was suspended in Paris after it jumped by 15.41 percent following a newspaper report that it had been approached by British rival Gallaher, whose stock also advanced by 1.35 percent. The consumer cyclical sector jumped by 0.53 percent.
Italian electricity Enel fell by 0.49 percent in the second day of trading after its largest-ever public offering, taking it well below its privatization price.
Shares in Britain's General Electric Company rose by 2.22 percent, building on a 5.2 percent gain Tuesday.
The company is expected to be reclassified as an IT stock after the sale of its Marconi unit is completed, which might attract a new pool of investors, analysts said.
French semi-conductor maker STM added to Tuesday's stellar performance with a gain of 3.24 percent. The stock was helped by a record-breaking session on Nasdaq overnight, and a positive outlook on the semiconductor market, traders said.
Dutch airline KLM's shares rose by 2.36 percent after the company posted a 57 percent drop in second quarter fiscal year net profits but said there were signs of better times ahead.
The mood in Europe was also helped by an uptick on S&P 500 futures trading on Globex, which rose by 4.70 points. The Dow fell by nearly 67 points Tuesday, erasing gains of more than 100 points when Europe closed for the night.

The methodology CMS uses for hospital star ratings on the Hospital Compare website could be improved if the agency makes five key adjustments, suggests David Levine, MD, FACEP, senior vice president for advanced analytics and informatics with Vizient.
Levine worked with Rush University Medical Center in Chicago to analyze how CMS weighs patient safety measures in the star ratings. He recommends these changes:
1. Use smarter hospital groupings.
Rather than combining community hospitals, large health systems, specialty hospitals, and teaching/academic hospitals on many key metrics, CMS should group hospitals by subtype. This could mean grouping facilities that treat advanced cancers, neurosurgical cases, and cardiology cases, for instance.
2. Group primary procedures by specialty.
The current system does not allow consumers to seek the best hospital for a specific need, like cardiac care or joint replacement.
3. Use better data, and use it faster.
Data come only from Medicare patients who don’t represent the overall patient population of a hospital, and Vizient’s analysis found that 64% of an overall star rating score is based on data that are at least two years old.
4. Create data transparency.
More transparency about the data used for star ratings would help hospitals focus their quality improvement resources. Today, the ratings are more like “report cards” that provide only an overall score.
5. Revise the weighting of quality measures.
CMS uses four major criteria to calculate star ratings: patient safety, patient experience, readmission, and mortality risk. Those criteria account for 80% of the total score. Other criteria should be incorporated to provide a more accurate picture of hospitals’ overall quality.

What Apple Inc.'s New Products Mean for Broadcom Corporation
When Apple launched its iPhone 5s last year, one point of disappointment for Broadcom shareholders is that Apple did not use an 802.11ac wireless connectivity chip. Some investors had been expecting Apple to transition to a more advanced, faster wireless chip, which, in turn, would have meant increased revenue per iPhone for Broadcom.
This year, the iPhone 6 finally got an upgrade to 802.11ac. I had speculated earlier that Apple might use Broadcom's recently announce BCM4358 802.11ac connectivity chip. However, when Apple announced that the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus would support single stream 802.11ac, the dual stream BCM4358 was out.
I waited patiently for the Chipworks teardown of the iPhone 6 to reveal the identity of the connectivity combo chip found inside of the iPhone 6, but so far, no luck. However, given what we know about the phone's connectivity capabilities, it's not hard to make an educated guess as to what chip Apple could have gone with.
And the chip is...
According to Broadcom's website, the BCM4335 is a single-chip 80211ac MAC/Baseband/Radio with Bluetooth 4.0 and an FM receiver. The specification page states that it supports 433.3 Mbps transfer speeds. Given that the BCM4334 that iFixit found inside of the iPhone 5s supports transfer speeds of up to 150 Mbps, this looks like a match.
Let's dig a little bit deeper into what this chip actually means for the next generation iPhone.
Let's talk cost
The BCM4335 was first introduced on July 24, 2012 with a "found in devices" date of the first quarter of 2013. It's built on a very mature 40 nanometer manufacturing process, which means that it should be very inexpensive to produce.
The BCM4335 is at least two generations removed from "bleeding edge," which leads me to believe that the chip sells near the midpoint -- perhaps slightly below, because Broadcom is not providing NFC to Apple, according to iFixit -- of the $3-$6 range that Broadcom has signaled that its connectivity combo fetches.
How about iPad?
While last year's iPhone 5s and iPad Air featured 802.11n Wi-Fi, the iPad Air included a technology called MIMO, or multiple-input multiple output, a technology that leverages multiple antennas to improve wireless performance. The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus don't utilize this technology; but, given historical trends, I wouldn't be surprised to see Apple utilizing a 2x2 MIMO 802.11ac solution in the iPad Air 2.
To achieve these speeds, Apple is likely to use either the BCM4354, or the newer BCM4358 from Broadcom. For margin/cost reasons, I would bet on Apple using the older generation part.
How do we know that Broadcom won these devices at all?
Throughout the discussion so far, the implicit assumption is that Broadcom won these devices. How do we know that this is even true without a positive identification from a teardown?
It's actually really simple. According to Broadcom CEO Scott McGregor on the company's most recent earnings call, Broadcom expects "strong sequential growth in mobile and wireless, driven by strength in connectivity." If Apple had chosen an alternative supplier for the connectivity chip, Broadcom would not have given such a bullish forecast for its connectivity business.
What does this say about Apple and Broadcom?
It looks to me that Apple continues to stay a generation or two behind for cost/margin reasons. While this won't help win over the hearts of the spec-obsessed crowd, the vast majority of users probably won't notice -- or care -- beyond the fact that it's much faster than the Wi-Fi in prior iPhone models.
In other words, Apple continues to find a solid balance between maintaining its gross margin profile, and delivering a strong user experience. This is exactly what Apple investors should applaud.
Now, for Broadcom investors, the situation is less clear. On one hand, Apple does pay Broadcom a hefty sum for its connectivity chips; but on the other hand, the more share that Apple gains in the smartphone market against its competitors, the poorer Broadcom's product mix could potentially be.
Foolish bottom line
As long as Apple's product launches lead to an overall expansion in the demand for high-end phones -- and iPhone sales growth isn't just due to share gains against competitors -- then Apple's apparent success with both the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus is a good thing for Broadcom's connectivity business.
The two things I'll be watching for next are what connectivity chip Apple uses in its next iPad and, perhaps more importantly to both Apple and Broadcom, whether Apple can help its iPad business return to growth after a few quarters of year-over-year declines.
Apple Watch revealed: The real winner is inside
Apple recently revealed the product of its secret-development "dream team" -- Apple Watch. The secret is out, and some early viewers are claiming its everyday impact could trump the iPod, iPhone, and the iPad. In fact, ABI Research predicts 485 million of this type of device will be sold per year. But one small company makes Apple's gadget possible. And its stock price has nearly unlimited room to run for early in-the-know investors. To be one of them, and see where the real money is to be made, just click here!

Apple is working on a simple system that will make iPhone buttons feel clicky even through a case. If you own any of the newest iPhone then you would have already covered the device in a case. With an iPhone in a case, it is a known fact that volume and power button can lose their nice definitive clicking sensation. Most users complain that putting a case makes buttons on the iPhone feel squishy and Apple believes it can solve that problem.
The Cupertino-based iPhone maker has filed a patented solution for this issue which involves simple magnet-based solution. In the filing spotted by Patently Apple, Apple describes that all electronic devices are designed with predetermined factors and standard to maintain consistency but it is common for consumers to couple them with an accessory such as a case.
“An accessory can provide additional benefits in the form of protection, improved appearance, and/or additional functionalities. However, an accessory may also change the operation of the electronic device and sometimes alter the user experience and feeling of the electronic device,” the patent explains.
While Apple’s description pretty much nails the problem, the solution envisioned by the company shows the extent to which the company focuses on its products. The idea is to have magnets placed inside the button depression of the case. Whenever you press the outside of the case, the magnet will click against the button itself. This action will create a tactile feeling identical to that of a click response when you press the buttons of an iPhone without a case.
“An electronic device, comprising: a housing; an actuator unit carried by the housing; and a tactile compensation unit coupled with the actuator unit, wherein at least a threshold actuation force to the actuator unit depresses the actuator unit, the threshold actuation force defining a minimum force to depress the actuator unit, and wherein the tactile compensation unit includes a triggering unit that forms a magnetic circuit with a triggering magnetic element carried by an accessory device that covers the actuator unit and provides an alteration to the threshold application force, the tactile compensation unit providing, in response to the formation of the magnetic circuit, a compensation force that compensates for the alteration to maintain the threshold actuation force,” Apple explains in the patent filing.
Watch: Apple iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max Hands-On
There is a possibility that Apple will implement this solution with cases designed for the next-generation iPhone. However, there is no way to tell when or whether this will ever get implemented into an actual product lineup. However, a simple implementation like this will make Apple’s own cases for iPhone more desirable against ones from third-party case makers.

MSNBC is a cable network that skews left. MSNBC.com is an objective news site which is the second most popular of its kind in the United States. Until now, they’ve shared the same name in relative harmony, but MSNBC.com parents NBC Universal and Microsoft have begun discussing the idea of differentiating between the two. Having a different strategy for the network and the website is fine, MSNBC.com president Charlie Tillinghast wrote in a memo back in March, which was just uncovered by the Times. “But naming them the same thing is brand insanity.” The two units are already separate companies. Unfortunately, changing the brand identity of the website is easier said than done. “Consensus in this case is a tall order,” wrote Tillinghast. Should it be NBCNews.com? MSN.com/news? NBC.com/notthebiggaypinkos?
