For many hospitals and healthcare providers the customer category has become the most important category in the balanced scorecard particularly as it relates to physicians as the economic. Balanced scorecard for healthcare example excel this is an example of a balanced scorecard for a hospital. Introduction the purpose of this publication is to describe the process of implementing a balanced scorecard bsc initiative in a small rural hospital setting including how to identify if an organization is ready for the implementation phase what the various steps are in the process. Balanced scorecards for small rural hospitals.

He asserts that in some scenarios like his example the goals created by a healthcare group may not be attainable without looking at the four sections. The balanced scorecard for hospital performance and productivity abstract the purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the usefulness of the balanced scorecard in improving a hospitals management and delivery of health care at reduced cost without loss of quality. A healthcare balanced scorecard example unlike the other examples above this strategy map begins with a purpose statement.
Directions put the categories and measures for that category in each of the boxes. Achieving this is a major challenge for health systems throughout the world. Concept overview implementation guidance a. In an article published by healthcare reform magazine author philip weintraub describes how a non profit community hospital benefitted from creating a hospital balanced scorecard.
Healthcare delivery and the balanced scorecard it is widely recognised that effective healthcare delivery involves providing high quality patient centred care that is safe and evidence based. Review of the use of the balanced scorecard in healthcare 2 2. Balanced scorecards for public and government organizations start with the organizations mission and vision and then proceed first through the customer perspective. Not all organizations do this but this may be helpful for healthcare organizations who need to place additional emphasis on what is most critical to them and what theyre trying to achieve.

TOKYO: Asian stock markets were largely flat on Thursday with investors in the U.S. markets going on a Thanksgiving holiday and the Fed minutes largely in line with investor expectations that the Fed will soon raise interest rates for a third-time next month. Japan was closed on a holiday.
KEEPING SCORE: China’s Shanghai Composite Index fell 0.2 percent to 3,422.65 while South Korea’s Kospi dipped 0.1 percent to 2,538.88. Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 was flat at 5,986.50. But Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index rose 0.5 percent to 30,148.75. Stocks in Singapore and other Southeast Asian countries were slightly higher.
FED: Minutes of the Fed’s last meeting that ended Nov. 1 showed that most officials generally believe that it’ll soon be time for another increase in the Fed’s key interest rate. A few Fed leaders think rates should stay where they are until there is more evidence inflation is rising, showing the concerns that the U.S. inflation is falling short of expectations despite the jobless rate falling to the lowest level in nearly 17 years. But the minutes did not change expectations for a December rate hike, analysts said.
WALL STREET: U.S. stocks finished mostly lower on Wednesday retreating from their latest record highs. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index dipped 1.95 points, or 0.1 percent, to 2,597.08. The Dow Jones industrial average slid 64.65 points, or 0.3 percent, to 23,526.18. The Nasdaq composite rose 4.88 points, or 0.1 percent, to a record 6,867.36. The Russell 2000 index of smaller-company stocks lost 2.13 points, or 0.1 percent, to 1,516.76. U.S. markets will be closed Thursday for the Thanksgiving holiday. They will reopen Friday but will close at 1 p.m. ET.
OIL: The price of oil retreated after a jump on reports that key oil producers might extend the cuts in production they made at the start of this year. U.S. crude fell 15 cents to $57.87 per barrel on New York Mercantile Exchange. On Wednesday, the contract rose $1.19, or 2.1 percent, to $58.02 a barrel. Brent crude, used to price international oils, lost 23 cents to $63.09 per barrel in London. It gained 75 cents, or 1.2 percent, to $63.32 a barrel.
CURRENCIES: The dollar rose to 111.35 yen from 111.24 yen. The euro rose to $1.1833 from $1.1819.

Sinead Carey has been coordinating the Novas Initiatives Street-Outreach since late 2009, part of the street-outreach includes a soup run. Sinead is a dedicated and hard working person. Her consistent efforts and dedication has kept the Homeless Soup Run going in Limerick for over 3 years. She has dedicated herself to organise and manage it so it can be run successfully seven days a week.
Regularly Sinead can be seen making phone calls to get to recruit volunteers, provide information about food / hot drinks and offer a caring smile to Limerick's homeless and vulnerable on the soup run. She has taken it upon herself to ensure this service and help it running.
When all other services are closed, the effort which Sinead puts in voluntarily is clear to be seen. The people who use this service are homeless or vulnerable people who come from all walks of life and professions. The service is invaluable, offering food to the hungry and provding a communications link to the homeless - the team offers information on other services and support available.
The Soup Run operates throughout winter and throgh harsh cold and freezing weather. Michelle O'Riordan nominated Sinead for a Volunteer Ireland Award, she said "sometimes people need somewhere to stay at night or need somewhere to turn to when all other services have been exhausted. Help is always given. Sinead's huge effort has undoubtedly helped Limericks homeless people and has hugely contributed to the homeless services in limerick.
Michelle continued "almost every homeless person knows Sinead by name, accrediting her with being kind, caring and helping them, when they feel they cannot get help anywhere else. Her hard work and positive attitude she has ensured that the soup run keeps running regardless of any barrier.”

Paris is formalizing its fascination with Mad Men by giving a medal to the hit series’ creator and executive producer, Matthew Weiner.
Two of the series’ stars, Christina Hendricks, who plays office manager Joan Harris, and John Slattery, who plays ad agency partner Roger Sterling, flanked Weiner at the ceremony today at Paris’ City Hall.
Paris Mayor Bertrand Delanoe’s top official for cultural matters presented Weiner with the Vermeil medal for cultural and other contributions to society.
“I fell in love with Paris through the movies,” said Weiner, adding that it was “very meaningful” to be given the award.
Mad Men has been winning French fans of late, and photographers and camera crews mobbed the three actors on their way in and out of the ceremony.

A man has been stabbed to death and four others have been injured in a town centre.
Police were called to a disturbance involving a number of people in Maidstone High Street at 03:00 BST.
A 21-year-old London man who suffered injuries from stab wounds was declared dead at the scene, police said.
Four men, also from London, two aged 21 and the others aged 19 and 23, have been arrested on suspicion of murder and remain in custody.
Three of the four injured men were taken to a London hospital, with the fourth taken to a local hospital.
Supt Simon Thomson of Kent Police said specialist officers were supporting the victim's relatives and said the force's thoughts were with the family of the deceased.
He told BBC South East it was a "large-scale, complex" case and crime scene investigators were carrying out a thorough investigation of the scene.
The High Street remains closed and anyone with any information has been asked to contact Kent Police.

The use of a calcium phosphate precipitation method occluded dentin tubules with apatitic mineral and, thus, showed good potential for the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity. The aim of this study was to elucidate the occluding behavior of the precipitate in the oral environment. Dentin disks treated by the calcium phosphate precipitation method, and disks treated with potassium oxalate, NaF, and SrCl2 solutions, were immersed in synthetic saliva, which was regularly replenished so that ionic concentration would be maintained. Treatment of dentin disks by the calcium phosphate precipitation method immediately reduced dentin permeability to 6 ± 8%. When the disk was immersed in synthetic saliva, dentin permeability remained low, even seven days after immersion. Scanning electron microscopic observation showed no distinct boundary line between the precipitate and intertubular dentin; this indicated further mineralization on the precipitate. Potassium oxalate treatment also reduced the dentin permeability to 8 ± 3%. However, the dentin permeability gradually but steadily increased with immersion time, reaching 39 ± 14% at seven days. To elucidate the mechanism underlying dentin permeability changes in synthetic saliva, we immersed the precipitates, i.e., apatitic mineral and calcium oxalate, in a fixed volume of synthetic saliva. When calcium oxalate was immersed in synthetic saliva, there was a large concentration of oxalate ions, indicating dissolution of the calcium oxalate; this phenomenon was ascribed to the increase in dentin permeability. In contrast, calcium and phosphate ions decreased when apatitic powder, the precipitate formed by the calcium phosphate precipitation method, was immersed in synthetic saliva. The decrease in the calcium and phosphate ions in synthetic saliva indicated further precipitation of calcium phosphate on the apatitic precipitate. We concluded, therefore, that the calcium phosphate precipitation method would have a continuous effect in reducing dentin permeability in the oral environment.

'Despite erroneous widespread reports, the NHL's other 29 teams are not now supporting the Sabres. Nor does the league have any intention of soliciting funds from its clubs to meet the Buffalo payroll and operating obligations. Indeed, a bankruptcy filing would protect the NHL from assuming a further (or at least, immediate) burden in Western New York as George Pataki considers prospective buyer Mark Hamister's appeal for public aid – and would permit a constructive reorganization so that the season's payrolls can be met regardless of the governor's response to the request.'

The Rusafa investigation court, located in Baghdad, issued an arrest warrant for the head and members of the commission which supervised the Kurdish independence referendum, Rudaw reported.
Judge Abdulstar Bayraqdar, a spokesman for the high judicial council, said: “The verdict was issued after the National Security Council filed a lawsuit arguing that the referendum was contrary to the decision of the high federal court."
The Iraqi government denounced the referendum as "unconstitutional," and Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi demanded Kurdish authorities "cancel" the referendum and its results.
The United Nations has offered to help "solve the problem" between the Iraqi government and the Kurdistan Regional Government.
Almost 93 per cent of Iraqi Kurds who took part in the referendum voted for independence and a formal split from Baghdad in order to form an autonomous Kurdish region.
The Trump administration said it does not recognise the referendum and warned "the vote and the results lack legitimacy."
A statement from US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the US would "continue to support a united, federal, democratic and prosperous Iraq."

From Rose Hill to the Majors: Former Ram to Make MLB Debut
San Diego, Calif. – (August 7, 2018) – With an impressive list of accomplishments this season, playing for the El Paso Chihuahuas, the Triple-A affiliate of the San Diego Padres in the Pacific Coast League, former Fordham Ram pitcher Brett Kennedy got the call every baseball player hopes to get. He's going to "the show." Kennedy, who just turned 24 on August 4th, will make his Major League debut this Wednesday for the San Diego Padres, when the team visits the Milwaukee Brewers, it was announced by San Diego manager Andy Green over the weekend. Game time is set for 8:00 PM ET. "I am really excited for Brett! This is a day that he has worked towards his entire life, and a day he will always remember," said Fordham baseball coach Kevin Leighton. "He has earned this opportunity and knowing Brett, he will make the most of it and continue to strive to be the best pitcher he can be. He is an exceptional representative of our program and Fordham University. I can't wait to see him in a major league uniform!"

I love mini burgers like the sliders we ate at Sizzler recently, but I love a big juicy burger too. Jac made us burgers for a recent Saturday lunch. They were pretty simple, but really delicious.
It was a juicy chicken thigh fillet rubbed with salt and pepper then panfried, with tomato, lettuce, red onion and barbecue sauce in a soft chewy bun. It was just the perfect size for a big satisfying bite.
For herself, Jac fried a piece of marinated steak she bought from the butcher. She cooked the steak to medium. In her burger with the steak: lettuce, tomato, red onion, a thick slab of tasty cheese, and barbecue sauce.
We both enjoyed our burgers. As we ate, we smiled at each other with barbecue sauce-streaked faces. Bliss. :D

A forensic laboratory in Hyderabad reported that the CD of Varun Gandhi’s speech made in March was not doctored. And Maneka Gandhi, expectedly, jumps in with her comments.
Maneka Gandhi on Sunday said forensic reports verifying the contents of a CD containing his purported hate speeches were a “one-sided version”
“The entire tape is doctored, words have been interchanged… the forensic report is a one-sided version,” the MP from Aonla in Uttar Pradesh told reporters here on her way to a party conclave.
Now, what on earth is a one-sided forensic report? Does Maneka expect a report to have “for” and “against” sections like a debate in BJP’s chintan baithaks?
Or maybe she is suggesting that the CD should have been flipped like an audio-cassette by the forensic guys to hear the second side as well? And in that case, probably we would discover more versions of hate speeches by her suputra.

Cover Crops Benefit Vegetable Production Systems
Cover Crops Can Provide Numerous Benefits to Your Vegetable Production
The use of cover crops in a vegetable production system can provide numerous benefits, even in
the first year such crops are included in a cropping system. These benefits can continue to
increase over the years due to substantial improvements in the fertility and tilth of the soil, as
well as a substantial reduction in soil erosion. I want to point out some of the more important,
tangible benefits that cover crops can provide to vegetable cropping system, and point out two
very useful, inexpensive resources that are available to help interested growers get started.
Buckwheat cover crop in a potato cropping system
Improvement in Soil Fertility. A number of cover crop species are excellent in terms of
contributing nitrogen to the soil. Legume cover crops, such as hairy vetch, medium red clover,
and alfalfa are well known for large contributions to soil N, which then can be available for a
cash crop that follows the legume. Other cover crops, especially fibrous-rooted cereal grains, are
particularly effective at scavenging excess nutrients, especially N, left in the soil after a cash
1 Reduction in Use of Pesticides. Many different cover crops are effective in suppressing weeds.
This suppressive effect is achieved in a variety of ways. The cover crop can act as a smother crop
that outcompetes weedy species for water and nutrients. Cover crop residue or a growing cover
crop leaf canopy can block light, alter the light frequencies, and change soil surface
temperatures, all of which can inhibit establishment and growth of weeds. Some cover crops
produce root exudates or other chemicals that have natural herbicidal effects. Cover crops can
also provide a hospitable environment for beneficial microbial life that can discourage plant
diseases, and can create a soil environment that lessens the occurrence of soilborne diseases.
Resources provided by cover crop plants, such as pollen and nectar, are helpful in attracting and
retaining pollinators, and also beneficial insects such as predatory and parasitic species that
attack and control pest insects and mites on crops. Certain cover crops also produce chemicals
that reduce populations of pest nematodes, and cover crops can increase numbers and diversity
of beneficial nematode species.
Mixed Cover Crop Planting
Yield Improvement Due to Enhanced Soil Health. Cover crops can improve soil health by
speeding up infiltration of excess surface water, relieving compaction and improving structure of
2 overtilled soil, adding organic matter that encourages beneficial soil organisms, and enhancing
Reduction in Soil Erosion. Cover crops that grow rapidly will hold soil in place, reduce the
degree of soil crusting, and reduce the amount of soil erosion by wind and rain. The
aboveground plant structures of cover crops also protect soil from rain drop impacts. If cover
crops are used over long time periods, water infiltration is increased and runoff, which can
quickly remove soil from a field, is reduced considerably.
Conservation of Soil Moisture. When cover crops are killed and the plant residue is left on the
soil surface, water infiltration into the soil is increased and evaporation is reduced, which reduces
the amount of moisture stress during droughts. If cover crops are lightly incorporated into the
soil, they capture surface moisture and add organic matter. These factors lead to increased water
infiltration to the root zones of plants. Types of crops that exhibit exceptional soil covering
ability are grass type covers such as rye, wheat, and the sorghum-sudan grass hybrid.
Protection of Water Quality. Cover crops slow erosion and reduce runoff, thereby decreasing
the amount of nonpoint source pollution due to sediment, nutrients, and pesticides. The uptake
of excess soil N also keeps nitrogen from leaching into the groundwater.
I hope I have made a convincing case for the use of cover crops in vegetable production systems.
Two excellent resources that provide details on cover crops and soil improvement can be
obtained on the Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Bookstore website:
http://www.sare.org/webstore.htm. The two books are “Managing Cover Crops Profitably”, 3rd
edition ($19), and “Building Soils for Better Crops,” 2nd edition, by Fred Magdoff and Harold
van Es ($19.95). Both of these books will provide you with a strong background on cover crops
and help you get started using these valuable plants in your own vegetable production system.

This list of songs is inspired by lists published by radio station KEXP-FM from Seattle in 2010, as well as the latest poll taken in 2021 by Rolling Stone Magazine. For the most part I will faithfully countdown from their lists, starting at Song #500 and going until I reach Song #1. When you see the song title listed as something like: Song #XXX (KEXP)….it means that I am working off of the official KEXP list. Song XXX (RS) means the song is coming from the Rolling Stone list. If I post the song title as being: Song #xxx (KTOM), it means I have gone rogue and am inserting a song choice from my own personal list of tunes I really like. In any case, you are going to get to hear a great song and learn the story behind it. Finally, just so everyone is aware, I am not a music critic nor a musician. I am a music fan and an armchair storyteller. Here is the story behind today’s song. Enjoy.
RS: The Top 500 Songs in Modern Music History.
Song(s) #394: “Baba O’Riley”/”Behind Blue Eyes”/”Won’t Get Fooled Again”.
If you know The Who at all then, you are probably familiar with all three of the songs listed at the top of this post. “Baba O’ Riley”, “Behind Blue Eyes” and “Won’t Get Fooled Again” have been staples of live Who shows and of Classic Rock radio since their debut in 1970 from the album Who’s Next. Normally, I would pick one song and talk about it because most songwriters create individualized songs that stand alone to act as their outlet for creative expression. But, truth be told, all three Who songs mentioned above are inextricably linked and spring from a common foundation of inspiration and, as such, the story of one of these songs is, in fact, the story of all three of these songs. So, let’s unravel the mystery of the album Who’s Next which was never meant to be an album at all.
In the 1960s, the UK was home to three of the greatest rock bands of all time: The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Who. The Who consisted of lead singer, Roger Daltry, Lead guitarist/singer, Pete Townsend, Bassist, John Entwhistle and legendary drummer, Keith Moon. While The Beatles were creating Blues-based Pop perfection and The Rolling Sones were producing Blues-based rock, The Who were taking the time-honoured tradition of the concept album to its logical extension by creating a rock opera known as Tommy. Pete Townsend, who was the principal songwriter for the band, was not writing songs in small independent chunks like most bands. Instead, his vision for storytelling was to tell grand stories on an epic scale. In order to follow up on the success of Tommy, Townsend began writing songs for a new rock opera called Lifehouse. As the 1960 drew to a close, all three of the top UK rock bands began to explore their spirituality by following mystics from India. In the case of The Who, Pete Townsend fell under the influence of a man named Meher Baba. Baba (which is where the song title “Baba O’Riley” comes from) believed that all humans gave off a cosmic signature that was unique to them. He called this signature a vibration. Since music is built upon a foundation of sound vibrations, Baba felt that the path toward nirvana for individuals was to come together collectively through music. He postulated that when perfect harmony had been achieved, a universal chord would be struck and we would collectively experience a rapture-like uplifting and fulfillment of our minds and souls.
As The Who toured in support of Tommy, Townsend began watching the reactions of their fans and started formulating plans for a new rock opera based upon Baba’s teachings and his own experiences playing for adoring crowds. The new rock opera was called Lifehouse. The plot summary for Lifehouse is, as follows:
It was set in a time when London had become so polluted that everyone was forced inside. The Government had created a system of providing for the complete needs of everyone as long as they stayed indoors. But, by staying indoors, they people became captives and their minds became stupefied, as if they were drugged. The only resistance came from freedom fighters who manned pirate radio stations that transmitted the spirit of Rock music to those still capable of free thought. The path to selfactualization then comes through music (just as Baba taught). The three songs listed above all play significant roles in the musical.
“Baba O’Riley” opens the play. It is sung by a pair of Scottish farmers who have learned that their teenage daughter has answered the siren song of the pirate radio broadcasters and has left the safety of their pollution-free Scottish farm to attend a rebel concert at a place called Lifehouse. The lyrics open with the farmers singing, “Out here in the fields, I fight for my meals, I put my back into my living.” The song ends with the husband saying to his wife, “Sally, take my hand. We’ll travel south across the land. Put out the fire and don’t look past my shoulder. The exodus is here.”….which is when the parents decide to go off and rescue/keep their daughter safe. ***A bit of trivia here, the opening synthesizer notes that give the song such a distinctive sound were meant to symbolize the incorporation of the audience’s unique cosmic signatures directly into the structure of the song so that the band, the song and the audience could achieve singularity.
“Behind Blue Eyes” closes the first act of the play. It is sung by the villain in the play…a character called Jumbo. Jumbo is in charge of the world the Scottish daughter has run toward. He feels wrongfully characterized as a villain and expresses his frustration at being misunderstood. “No one knows what it’s like to be the bad man, to be the sad man, behind blue eyes. No one knows what it’s like to be hated, to be fated, to telling only lies.”
“Won’t Get Fooled Again” is the closing song in the musical. In that scene, the main character has died, leaving the Government and the Army to face off. This leads to the famous line of the “new boss being the same as the old boss“. The play ended with the message that putting your faith in revolution is misguided and is not the way forward. The spirituality obtained via togetherness and music is the true Light.
Initially, Townsend’s idea for bringing the Lifehouse Project to fruition involved creating a communal experience inside of a theatre in which the audience and band would live together for as long as it took for the essence of their being to harmonize. Audience members would become incorporated into the music in ways that suited their cosmic signatures and all would become as one (as John Lennon once famously said). However, the logistics of pulling this off proved too daunting and eventually, the project had to be abandoned. Pete Townsend suffered a nervous breakdown. The songs from the play were salvaged and cobbled together in the form of a traditional album which became known as Who’s Next. And the rest, as they say, became history.
As much as some of what Townsend was trying to achieve sounded wishy-washy, the concept of a Government-lead, captive/stupefied population trying to be saved by renegades sounds to me a bit like the concept behind The Matrix trilogy (not to mention, the conspiracy theory behind many of today’s anti-maskers/anti-vaxxers). Furthermore, the idea of melding the individual traits, desires, like and dislikes of a society and creating something new and universal at the conclusion sounds to me to be a lot like how the Internet works today. If you substitute cosmic signature for algorithms you basically have the same outcome. I have often maintained that there is a thin line that separates genius from madness. While Pete Townsend eventually suffered a mental breakdown from the Lifehouse Project, the grand scope of his vision has left us musical treasures that remain important and popular half a century later. Below, you will find the videos for “Baba O’ Riley”, “Behind Blue Eyes” and “Won’t Get Fooled Again”, too.

I have a post sitting in my drafts, nearly written except for the parts that require real thought. I am kinda short on that right now, as I’ve just started my last class for my Master’s(!!), I have just taken a wee part-time job I am unsure about, and Em has decided he likes to walk more often than not. Eep!
Until I have some spare thoughts to share, I will offer up pictures. Pictures placate, right?
I am immensely pleased by this:
I do love zucchini, especially grilled.
I am also tickled to death by this: (embedding is just not working for me. Follow the link for a 20 second video)
Though also a little scared.
I have knitting nearly done and some fab spinning action to show. I’ll be back soon enough for that!


Rapid Prototyping Digital Cluster Instrument
Create new concepts with little effort
How will the cluster instrument of future look like? With the introduction of new technologies into car dashboards many mechanical components loose their importance.
Humain enabled easy evaluation of different lighting effects to improve readability and reduce the driver distraction. We also took various interaction concepts into account, so the content of the cluster instrument could be modified in several ways.
Highlight: The new concept can easily be adapted to different car models, design changes or, just as simple, to different car makers. It also does not rely on a single platform but can be evaluated outsided the car, e.g. on tablets.

Old body parts, fluids, and an exploration in alchemy become a reality in Frankenstein, when a grotesque creature is brought to life from inanimate materials. Throughout the story, the monster struggles with his own “biologically-engineered” identity–is he really human?
Biologically speaking, Frankenstein’s monster is of course a stretch. But, if we can get past the alchemy, other parts of his experiment illustrate the possibilities of chemical concoctions on human life. One of the most important ingredients of the experiments undertaken in Victor Frankenstein’s sequestered laboratory is the mystery “solution” in which the monster’s misconstrued body parts are seemingly brought to life.
In today’s world, Frankenstein’s monster may have been held together by hydrogels, 3-dimensional networks formed from synthesized polymers. Hydrogels are as powerful as they are complex: structurally robust due to the cross-linking of ion-rich polymers, but elastic due to their polymers’ hydrophilic (water-loving) nature. Hydrogels are also responsive to stimuli–adjusting to changes in surrounding pH and temperature either to stay the same or change entirely in structure. With the right combination of thermodynamic conditions, reaction-induced molecular interactions, and fabrication methods, a mixture of distinct macromolecules gives way to a miraculous product, almost as promising as Frankenstein–a hydrogel.
Since their inception in the 1960s, hydrogels have demonstrated great utility in enhancing human life. In a small Czech town located on the outskirts of Zlin, Otto Wichterle had already established himself as a leader in the field of chemistry by developing polyamide and caprolactam plastics, as well as being the first to author a formal textbook on inorganic chemistry. His vision for plastics was much loftier, presumed from his fiery gaze through his clear-framed glasses. Wichterle believed his inorganic compounds could interact with biological structures on a nano-scale, a concept far ahead of his time (this field would later become known as biotechnology). As a man suffering from vision deficits himself, he set out with the goal of developing a substance that could conform to the delicate environment and conditions of the eye. With the help of his wife, Wichterle succeeded in creating the world’s first set of contact lenses by synthesizing a new substance which he called a “hydrogel” on his kitchen table. On Christmas Day of 1961, Wichterle carefully tried on his prototype, seeing for the first time a world more focused than his own vision of hydrogels. For the first time, man and microscopically-complex structures were fused together, an indiscernible combination from the outside.
Wichterle’s solution is a powerful illustration of what hydrogels mean for us. The versatility and adaptability of these structures–robust yet elastic, dynamic yet stable–provide a more advantageous solution to many medical problems. Our gut instinct at solving bodily deficiencies, vision in this case, is to create mechanical solutions which exist distinct from our bodies (i.e. glasses). The result is a prototype living a life of its own from our anatomy, which solves the immediate problem, but leaves room for improvement. Instead of innovating solutions to medical problems as accessories existing outside of our bodies, why not innovate for seamless integration with our bodies? In order to “fix” our bodies, we need to create structures that will adapt to their mold, fitting in with the biological characteristics that make us human.
Wichterle’s vision for hydrogels has rapidly become a reality in biological solutions. Hydrogels, for example, can be used to heal damage inflicted during surgery. Adhesions, organ tissue sticking to surrounding tissue, are a common anomaly in post-operative assessment. These adhesions make it difficult to operate on organs again, which poses a problem for patients with systemic heart problems. To address this issue, a group at UC San Diego engineered a hydrogel from an amino acid called L-dopa and a catechol polymer to prevent post-operative adhesion of heart tissue. In porcine (pig) hearts, the gel resulted in fewer adhesions while also not inducing cardiac inflammation.
While Wichterle’s creations were molded as temporary fixes, hydrogel innovation evolved to heal the body sustainably. Researchers at Northwestern University developed a gel mimicking the scaffolding structure holding together cells in the spinal cord to repair damage done to local nerves. When injected into paralyzed mice, the gel assembled itself at the injury site and helped regenerate damaged neurons and reduce scar tissue. Furthermore, the gel enabled the growth of nearby blood vessels, providing further support to the damaged site. Amazingly, after four weeks, paralyzed mice treated with the gel could walk again.
Hydrogels also present a more effective and natural way to deliver drugs within the body. Administering doses of treatments without specific targets decreases efficacy, as cells important to immune response are often killed in the process. To address this issue, hydrogels provide a great drug delivery system, as they are primarily composed of water and structurally crosslinked, which prevents outside proteins that may denature the treatment from permeating through the gel. The chemical structure of the hydrogel may also be changed to address selective targets and to naturally degrade once used.
Carefully toiling away in his laboratory, Wichterle imagined the great potential of hydrogels but likely didn’t comprehend its full capabilities. Hydrogels embrace solutions which combine robust chemical engineering with the biology that makes us human.

Cincinnati’s Dominique Steele will get the opportunity he's been waiting for on July 25, when he travels to the Windy City of Chicago to face Zak Cummings in a welterweight bout at United Center.
Steele replaces Antonio Braga-Neto, who was forced from the bout due to injury.
The FOX-televised card is headlined by the long-awaited rematch between UFC bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw and former titleholder Renan Barao.
Steele is showing the best form of his career at the moment, as he has won seven of his last eight bouts, a run that includes a five-round June win over UFC vet Chuck O’Neil. Winner of four of his last five, with UFC victories over Benny Alloway and Yan Cabral, Cummings looks to keep his opponent out of the UFC win column this summer.

Dire Predictions: Understanding Global Warming
Author: Michael E. Mann and Lee R. Kump
Publisher: DK Adult
Details: 208 pp., $25.00 paperback, 2008,
Public understanding of global warming and climate change is often strongly influenced by media perceptions and distortions. Our present global warming—believed to be the result of an anthropogenic enhancement of Earth’s natural greenhouse effect—is a richly complex process involving all of Earth’s natural systems. Every few years, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issues a consensus assessment on the state of the climosphere. While some might be familiar with the IPCC’s written and online documents (the Fourth IPCC Report was issued early in 2007), the 142-page “Summary for Policymakers” can seem intimidating due to its length and technical detail. What is needed is a simplified, visually engaging synopsis for the lay audience that doesn’t dumb down the IPCC’s core principles and findings, yet also provides enough background material on climate science to place global warming in context.
Pearson Education has filled this need with a no-nonsense book titled Dire Predictions: Understanding Global Warming by Michael E. Mann and Lee R. Kump. Touted as “The illustrated guide to the findings of the IPCC,” the book is written by 2 authoritative climate experts (Mann is an Associate Professor at Penn State, Director of the Penn State Earth System Science Center, and a Nobel laureate; Kump is a Full Professor at Penn State and an Associate at the Earth System Science Center). The book also showcases the high quality, engaging style of Editor Dan Kaveney, who spearheads Pearson’s popular line of college-level Earth science textbooks.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14 (AP) — The Senate on Wednesday passed a $464 billion spending bill that closes out last year’s unfinished budget business while providing clues about how the new Democratic Congress and President Bush will do business.
The bill, passed 81 to 15, sticks to Mr. Bush’s overall budget caps but finds numerous ways around them to add money for education, health care, food inspection, mine safety and other programs favored by Democrats and many Republicans.
It pulls together nine unfinished spending bills for foreign aid and every domestic agency budget except the Homeland Security Department. Its passage winds up work that should have been completed months ago for the budget year that started on Oct. 1.
In the interim, Congress passed several stopgap measures to keep the government running.
The Democratic chairmen of the appropriations committees led House-Senate negotiations over the first several weeks of the year to produce the bill, which freezes most agencies at 2006 levels.Continue reading the main story
If Congress had not acted this week, food inspectors, Federal Bureau of Investigation agents and air traffic controllers faced furloughs, while more than 200,000 low-income people could have lost housing subsidies.
The measure now heads to Mr. Bush, who has signaled that he will sign it even though it does not include $3 billion needed for a 2005 round of military base closings. The money would help pay for the redeployment of 12,000 troops stationed in Germany and South Korea to domestic bases and to prepare closed bases for development .
Democrats want to debate that spending next month when Congress considers a White House request for $100 billion for the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. They also want to tack on extras, like $4 billion or so in farm disaster aid, when the appropriations committees debate the measure.
The White House, meanwhile, wants to keep the Iraq spending bill as free as possible from such add-ons, but it is likely to have to accept some Democratic priorities as the price of getting the bill passed.
Then will come the fiscal 2008 appropriations cycle, during which Democrats are certain to transfer some of the proposed $50-billion-plus increase requested for the Pentagon budget, not including war costs, to domestic programs, which are almost frozen under Mr. Bush’s budget proposal.
Among the beneficiaries of the measure approved Wednesday is the National Institutes of Health, which would receive a $620 million budget increase, or about 2 percent. The F.B.I. would get a modest $200 million increase in its $6 billion budget, while the maximum Pell Grant for college students would increase by $260, to $4,310.
The rapidly growing veterans health care budget got a 13 percent increase. And United States contributions to fighting AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis overseas would rise 40 percent, to $4.5 billion.
The bill provides increases for underperforming schools and community health centers, and grants to state and local law enforcement agencies. Amtrak’s budget would be frozen at $1.3 billion instead of having to absorb a $400 million cut proposed by President Bush.Continue reading the main story

Koffee With Karan 7: From Priyanka-Nick to Allu Arjun & Rashmika, these jodis could still reach the koffee couch
While the trailer has given us a glimpse of some of the guests who will be gracing Koffee With Karan 7 this year, there are still 5 episodes to be shot. Here are some jodis who might join Karan for koffee.
When Karan Johar announced that he is ready to return with the 7th season of his chat show Koffee With Karan, fans were quite excited to find out who all will grace the koffee couch this year. Much to our delight, the recently released trailer not only cleared some of our doubts but also gave us a sizzling glimpse of the season! While Samantha Ruth Prabhu blamed the filmmaker for unhappy marriages, Ranveer Singh talked about his sex playlist. But guess what! The celebs featured in the trailer are not the only guests this year. Five more episodes are yet to be shot. Well, here’s a list of jodis who could still make it to the koffee couch, according to buzz.
Global icon Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Nick Jonas, who have been happily married since 2018, were blessed with a daughter this year. Reports suggested that the happy couple might grace the show and reveal how their love story began.
Koffee With Karan without KJo’s BFF Kareena Kapoor Khan sounds incomplete, doesn’t it? Well, if rumors are to believed, the beauty could join Karan for coffee and a quick gossip session along with her gorgeous sister Karisma Kapoor this year.
While none of us really know when Katrina and Vicky’s love story began, Karan Johar’s chat show does deserve a tiny bit of credit here. Remember when Katrina said she and Vicky would look good together and in another episode the latter fainted on hearing this? We truly hope to see them together on the koffee couch this time.
When the 7th season was first announced, it was reported that many South superstars will also be gracing the show. As we already saw in the trailer, Samantha will be accompanied by Akshay Kumar . Well, buzz suggests that Pushpa co-stars Rashmika Mandanna and Allu Arjun could also make their koffee debut this time.
If beauty queens Aishwarya and Sushmita come together for Karan Johar’s show, they will make it one of the most loved and watched episodes of this season. Can you imagine Miss Universe and Miss World together on the same koffee couch? We can’t keep calm just thinking about it!
Which of these celebrity jodis would you like to see on Koffee With Karan 7 ?

Archibald Douglas Burns
The tenth Auditor-General of New Zealand, Archibald Douglas Burns, served as Controller and Auditor-General from 1960 to 1965.
By the time of his retirement, Archibald Burns (known as Doug), had worked 46 years in the public service - 38 of those were with the Audit Office.
Archibald (or Doug) was thought of as a "particularly nice bloke" and one who introduced modern auditing techniques to the Office.
The CBE after his name means that Mr Burns was a Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.


One of the UK’s biggest cancer centres has been rated “outstanding” by the Care Quality Commission, which praised the dedication of nursing and other staff, and their “willingness to go the extra mile”.
The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust, which treats patients from across Merseyside, Lancashire, Cheshire, Isle of Man and north Wales, was awarded the CQC’s top rating after an inspection in June last year.
“There was a friendly and open culture and staff received regular feedback”
The CQC’s chief inspector of hospitals Professor Sir Mike Richards said: “The trust was providing superb care with a leadership team that was visible respected.
“Staff were proud to work at Clatterbridge and spoke positively about the care they delivered,” he said. “There was a friendly and open culture and staff received regular feedback to aid future learning, and were being supported with their training needs by their managers.”
Services singled out by inspectors included the trust’s innovative Chemotherapy at Home service delivered by specialist nurses.
“This service embodied the overall trust vision of providing the best cancer care to their patients,” said Sir Mike.
The CQC also identified outstanding practice in end of life services provided by a team of specialist palliative care nurses and a consultant in palliative care medicine.
The service had developed an innovative training programme to improve the skills and knowledge of staff throughout the trust, noted the CQC. It involved simulating difficult situations to help staff become more confident when supporting patients nearing the end of life, their relatives and loved ones.
“All staff were committed to facilitating the requests of patients at the end of life. For example, there had been a number of weddings organised within a short period of time at the request of patients. Several staff were involved in facilitating these,” added the inspection report, which was published today.
“I am very proud of the hard work and dedication shown by all our staff”
In addition to the overall rating, the trust was rated “outstanding” for caring and leadership, “good” for effectiveness and responsiveness but “requires improvement” for safety.
Areas it was told to improve included staffing levels in its diagnostic imaging services, after inspectors found the department was “largely understaffed during the day”.
Trust chief executive Andrew Cannell paid tribute to staff and said the organisation was “delighted” with the outstanding rating given to the trust overall and also for being caring.
“Being rated ‘outstanding’ for caring across all our departments recognises the high standard of compassionate care our staff strive to provide for every single patient who comes through the doors of the Clatterbridge Cancer Centre in Wirral and Aintree, and our satellite clinics,” he said.
“I am very proud of the hard work and dedication shown by all our staff and volunteers. They fully deserve this rating,” said Mr Cannell.
“However, we are always looking to improve in everything we do and we will ensure we learn from all areas of the inspectors’ feedback as we look towards the future and working closely and positively with the community we serve,” he said.
Dedication of nurses at cancer centre praised by CQC

Chief Justice John Roberts wants the court system to evaluate how it investigates and responds to inappropriate behavior.
In Roberts' end-of-the-year report, he called on a team of investigators "to examine our practices and address these issues." Roberts pointed to recent headlines that have, "illuminated the depth of the problem of sexual harassment in the workplace, and events in the past few weeks have made clear that the judicial branch is not immune."
That's a pretty clear nod to former federal judge Alex Kozinski, who resigned in December following accusations of inappropriate behavior and sexual comments.
Some of Kozinski's accusers were law clerks for his office, and The New York Times notes there's an expectation of confidentiality for a judge's chambers. Roberts said he expects the investigative group to consider changes to codes of conduct and confidentially standards.

RTC’s ‘Pushpak Services’ to provide bus service to airport
Aero Express service, the cheapest mode of transport to the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, is likely to be wound up shortly.
The air-conditioned bus service launched at the time of inauguration of the Greenfield airport by GMR continued to be the favourite of many, who looked for affordable but comfortable travel to the airport. The withdrawal of the service is because the contract between the airport operator and a private company will end soon.
Informed sources say that the chances of renewal of the contract were remote as the GMR is believed to have approached APSRTC with a request to operate similar services.
A.K. Khan, Vice-Chairman and Managing Director of the State-owned transport corporation, confirmed that the corporation was ready to operate 40 air-conditioned buses, christened ‘Pushpak Services’. The RTC is likely to launch the service from December 15.RTC plans to operate 40 low-floor air-conditioned buses to the airport from different points in the city. Mr. Khan said there was a spurt in air passengers belonging to middle income groups, but they were reluctant to hire a cab to the airport.
The fares for ‘Pushpak’, however, had not yet been finalised. The airport operator, GMR Hyderabad International Airport Limited (GHIAL), had launched the Aero Express service in 2008 with a fleet of 16 buses which was later increased to 22 buses.
The Aero Express buses are operated from nine different places to the airport with a charge Rs.230 per head for one-way travel and Rs.400 for two ways.
Interestingly, some of those employed with Aero Express services had approached the RTC authorities enquiring whether their expertise could be utilised by the corporation.

Relationship between Water Retention and Temperature of Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose HPMC
The water-retention function and principle of hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose HPMC:
Cellulose ether HPMC in cement mortar and gypsum base slurry, mainly to protect water and thickening effect, can effectively improve the bonding strength and sag resistance.
Air temperature, temperature and wind pressure can affect the moisture content of cement mortar and gypsum base. Therefore, in different seasons, adding HPMC the same amount of product water conservation effect there are some differences. In the concrete construction, we can adjust the water retention effect of the slurry by adding and subtracting the amount of HPMC. The water retention of methyl cellulose ether under high temperature condition is an important index to distinguish the quality of methyl cellulose ether. Excellent HPMC products can effectively solve the problem of water conservation under high temperature. High quality HPMC is needed to improve the water retention of the slurry in the high temperature season, especially in the hot and dry areas and the thin layer construction of the Xiangyang surface. High-quality hpmc with very good uniformity, its methoxy and hydroxypropyl chi groups are evenly distributed along the chain of cellulose molecules, can improve the hydroxyl and ether bond oxygen atom and water association to form hydrogen bonding capacity, so that free water into a combination of water, so as to effectively control the high temperature caused by the evaporation of water, to reach a high moisture retention.
High-quality cellulose hpmc can be evenly and effectively dispersed in cement mortar and gypsum base products, and wrap all the solid particles, and form a layer of wetting film, the water in the base is gradually released over a long period of time, and inorganic cementitious material hydration reaction, thus ensuring the bonding strength and compressive strength of the material. Therefore, in the high temperature in the summer construction, in order to achieve water conservation effect, the need to add high quality of HPMC products in accordance with the formula, otherwise, will appear dry too fast and caused by insufficient hydration, strength reduction, cracking, hollowing and shedding quality problems, but also increase the difficulty of construction workers. As the temperature decreases, the added amount of HPMC can be reduced gradually, and the same water retention effect can be achieved.
The water retention of hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose HPMC products is affected by temperature and the following factors:
1. Uniformity of cellulose ether HPMC
The homogeneous reaction of HPMC, methoxy and hydroxypropyl oxygen is evenly distributed and the water retention rate is high.
2. Cellulose ether HPMC Thermal gel temperature
The coagulation gum temperature is high, the water retention rate is high, conversely, the water retention rate is low.
3. Cellulose ether HPMC viscosity
When the viscosity of HPMC increases, the water retention rate increases, and when the viscosity reaches a certain degree, the increase of water retention rate tends to be gentle.
4. Cellulose ether HPMC added amount
The greater the amount of cellulose ether hpmc, the higher the water retention rate, the better the water retention effect. In the range of 0.25-0.6%, the water retention rate increases rapidly with the increase of adding quantity, and the increasing trend of water retention rate is slowed down when the added amount increases.
