Sean Secures P4 at the Porsche Carrera World Cup and takes the Championship Lead!
Published June 27, 2011 in Porsche Cup | Kyle Williams
After the most important race of the year, the Porsche Carrera World Cup with more than 100 participating 911 GT3 cup cars from different one-make-cups at the Nürburgring Nordschleife, tolimit motorsport takes the lead in all championship with its drivers Sean Edwards, Jeroen Bleekemolen and Khaled Al Qubaisi finishing on places 4, 7 and 62 respectively. Changing weather conditions with a lot of rain and the high density of participants turned the race on the 25.378 track into a challenge for teams and drivers.
According to the regulations, the team started under the flags of 'Team Abu Dhabi by tolimit' and represented the partners from both one-make cups Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority, Deutsche Post, aabar, Windreich and SR Technics. Qualifying, however, did not run according to plan.
Sean Edwards: "It was a tough qualifying with so much traffic and so many yellow flags. It was not so much about speed, but about getting a clear lap, which I hardly managed." In the end, the Brit started from position 7.
Jeroen Bleekemolen, who's 911 GT3 Cup represented the colours of Deutsche Post, made the same experience: "I am very disappointed about the qualifying. I was not able to drive one clear lap. When you put so many drivers with different skill levels together onto the Nordschleife, a lot is to happen for sure. And that messed up all my fast laps."
Khaled Al Qubaisi, who as always represented his home country of Abu Dhabi on his car, experienced some difficulties with the steering in qualifying: "Something was wrong, but we sorted it out for the race. Other than that I am of course suffering a bit from the changing weather. The Nordschleife is a really challenging track." The business man from Abu Dhabi started from position 82.
On time for the race start on Saturday, the weather became typical for the Eifel region: it was raining heavily. Sean Edwards had a good start and managed to catch up to position 4. The rain specialist then benefited from the crash of his biggest competitor Nick Tandy, however, had to give way to a harsh manoeuvre from Nordschleife specialist Lance Arnold. While the track dried down again, he finished the race on position 4. For the championship, however, he will get the points for position 3, as Arnold is a guest starter. So Edwards takes over the lead in the driver standings in Carrera Cup as well as in Supercup.
Sean Edwards: "A great, but also a difficult race. I could hardly see anything in the first two laps and realised that one mistake here would end in a huge crash. Tandy took a lot of risk and finally crashed into the barriers. After that I just wanted to finish the race. I knew that I would take over the lead in both championships. A huge thanks to the team for a great job, as always."
Team mate Jeroen Bleekemolen made his way up to the front, too. The Dutch racer faced a double challenge on this weekend due to his start in the 24 hour race. After his constant fight for positions, he benefited from the drop outs of Huisman and Giermaziak in the second lap as well as of Thiim in the third lap and finished the race on position 7. Due to the guest starters in front of him, he collects the points for position 5.
Jeroen Bleekemolen: "It was quite a good race. I was very careful at the beginning, because I couldn't see anything. After two laps it cleared up, but I had already lost some time to the frontrunners. The speed was there, however and I would have needed one more Grand Prix track lap in order to catch two more competitors. 7th place is ok compared to where I started from on the grid."
Khaled Al Qubaisi probably had to solve the most difficult issue in the race. The tight starting grid and the different skill level of the participants resulted in him constantly facing yellow flags and overtaking manoeuvres. Nevertheless, he competently took the challenge and moved from starting position 82 to a great 62nd place. For the driver championship in Supercup, he therefore collects his first two points of the season.
Khaled Al Qubaisi: "I managed to stay out of trouble in the race and kept on improving step after step. It's great to collect my first two championship points in the Supercup here on the Nordschleife. After a mixed start into the weekend, this is a satisfying finish."
tolimit head of motorsport Michael Seifert: "It was an extreme weekend that turned all legalities for one-make-cups upside down. It was more an endurance than a sprint race. Nevertheless, we took the challenge and finished as the best team of the championships. With the points collected, we take over the lead in both the Supercup and the Carrera Cup. For me personally, the result in this important race is a great relief. Team and drivers gave their best. Thanks for the performance. It makes me really proud."
tolimit managing director Hans-Bernd Kamps: "Team and drivers did a great job this weekend. Despite of all adversities such as weather and traffic, we jointly showed a great performance. Sean now leads the driver standings of both championships and Jeroen is the runner-up in Carrera Cup. We can't complain and keep on working to win the title."

Sean takes P2 at the Eurospeedway
After a challenging qualifying at the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland race at the 3.478 km Lausitzring race track, the 'Team Deutsche Post by tolimit' with its drivers Sean Edwards and Jeroen Bleekemolen achieved the well-deserved positions 2 and 4. In an exciting race with a lot of fair overtaking and many spins, only 11 out of 21 drivers saw the chequered flag.
Having started from position 5, the Brit Sean Edwards pushed to 3rd place directly after the start, following the start winner Nick Tandy and pole setter Nicki Thiim. In lap 9, the experienced driver took advantage of a driving error from championship leader Tandy and conquered 2nd place. In the remaining laps, he pushed hard to overtake the lead driver Thiim, however, decided to play safe, as the Danish driver doesn't play a big role in the championship.
Sean Edwards: "It was a close race for sure. Qualifying was not how we wanted it to be, as we didn't manage to have the tyres working at the right time. But the race was good. It's great to be in front of Tandy, even if though I missed the momentum to overtake Thiim. Now I am tied to Jeroen in terms of championship points and hot on Tandy's heals and we will do everything to push forward in the championship."
Team mate Jeroen Bleekemolen showed a constant performance in the race, too and took advantage of the spins from René Rast and Robert Renauer who touched each other in lap 3. In the end, he achieved a very good 4th place.
Jeroen Bleekemolen: "We didn't have a perfect lap in qualifying. But all drivers that are playing a role in the championship were close together on the starting grid. So everything was still possible. My race was ok with a lot of good duels. The car was fast but I lost some ground during the duel from Rast and Renauer. But overall I am satisfied with 4th place."
Porsche Carrera Cup team manager Paul Schlotmann: "In qualifying, our tyres showed their best performance at the end of the session, but we would have needed them to work properly at the beginning. For a quick lap at the Lausitzring, the tyre pressure needs to be perfect. However, we are pretty happy with the race. Our drivers managed the duels in a fair and clean way and a showed a solid performance with places 2 and 4."
tolimit managing Hans-Bernd Kamps: "Our 'Team Deutsche Post by tolimit' once again showed the best team performance and is leading the team standings with 124 points and a big gap to the second best team. In the driver standings, Jeroen and Sean rank 2nd and 3rd. Step by step, we will continue to move forward and I am sure we will finish the season on the very top."

Run of Podiums continues with 3rd at the Red Bull Ring
Published June 6, 2011 in Porsche Cup | Kyle Williams
At the recently re-opened 'Red Bull Ring' in Austrian Spielberg, 'Team Deutsche Post by tolimit' pilots Sean Edwards and Jeroen Bleekemolen finish the Porsche Carrera Cup race on positions 3 and 4. The team therefore leads the team standings with 92 points overall and a 23 point gap ahead of the runner-up. In the driver standings, Jeroen Bleekemolen ranks 2nd ahead of Sean Edwards on position 3.
It was a weekend with mixed weather conditions with rain, sun and even thunderstorms at the 4.326 km race track in Styria.
Sean Edwards qualified his yellow Porsche 911 GT3 Cup on 2nd place, only 15 thousands of a second behind the pole setter: "I haven't achieved a pole position in Porsche Carrera Cup yet, although I do have some in Supercup. 15 thousands of a second are a very short gap behind the pole setter, but I am starting from front row and ahead of my championship competitors."
Team mate Jeroen Bleekemolen experienced a satisfying qualifying, too: "I had some traffic in the second sector, but 4th position is ok. The car is good and we should be strong in the race."
This preview should turn into reality. Although Sean Edwards lost one position at the start, both pilots drove a superior race and finished on positions 3 and 4.
Sean Edwards: "The start was a difficult one. I hadn't anticipated that there was so much grip on the new tarmac. Nick Tandy had a better start and just got passed me into the first corner. After that I made a small error and went off track and got a lot of dirt on my tyres which prevented me from keeping the pace of the front. Nevertheless 3rd place is not too bad of a result and means good points for the championship."
Jeroen Bleekemolen: "For me it was a nice race with a lot of duels. At the start I lost a bit of time due to a duel against Jan Seyffarth who pushed from the back. Later I had a nice battle with Sean and managed to be faster than him, but rather stood back than risking too much. 4th position isn't bad, although I would have hoped for more."
Porsche Carrera Cup team manager Paul Schlotmann: "A good result for the team. We extended the lead in the team standings and achieved the aim we set ourselves. It was well worth to completely check through both cars for Spielberg. Now we are looking ahead to the next race at the Lausitzring."
tolimit managing director Hans-Bernd Kamps: "Team work worked out brilliantly throughout the weekend. The technical crew around Kosta Kotitsas did a great job and as always provided perfectly prepared race cars. However, I wasn't satisfied with the duel of our drivers at the end of the race. Nevertheless, we already talked about it and agreed to behave more team-oriented in the future."

Another Strong Podium in Monaco
At the highlight race of Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup in the principality of Monaco, 'Team Abu Dhabi by tolimit' drivers Sean Edwards and Jeroen Bleekemolen finished on positions 3 and 4. Khaled Al Qubaisi unluckily had to retire due to a broken drive shaft in the introduction lap.
As always on the tight streets of the principality, qualifying was crucial on that weekend. Sean Edwards achieved starting position 4: "The car was good in qualifying, but I had a lot of traffic and yellow flags in my fast laps. In the last one, I unfortunately hurt my mechanic on his hand when going out. Sorry Peppi. But meanwhile, he is better again."
In the race, the 24-year-old Brit was able to catch up one position: "Obviously the start was crucial in Monaco. I had a good one, although I put in the second gear a bit too early. But my strategy was to stay on the outside and in doing this I got passed Kuba on position 3. Jeroen also got passed, so good start for both of us. Later I just tried to have a constant race. Finishing 3rd in Monaco is great. Thanks to everyone and especially to Peppi, my mechanic, who fortunately doesn't have anything broken in his hand."
Jeroen Bleekemolen was fighting with the traffic in qualifying, too: "On the new tyres, I had a lot of traffic and yellow flags, but a lot of drivers faced these problems. Congratulations to René Rast, who dealt with this situation best. I could have been maybe 3 or 4 tenth of a second faster without all these disturbances." In the end, he achieved starting position 5.
In the race, he also caught up one position at the start: "I really had a great start and got passed Kuba, who blocked me a bit, but in a fair way. Otherwise, I could have maybe even achieved 3rd at the start. Later on, I just tried to stay out of trouble, so my race was quite boring. I spent a few laps watching the boats in the harbour, so nevertheless it was fun."
Same as his team mates, Khaled Al Qubaisi fought with the interruptions in qualifying, too: "I tried to improve lap by lap. But on my second set of tyres, I wanted a bit too much and touched the barriers e at the exit of the tunnel." In the end it was position 22 on the grid for him.
The race of the 35-year-old business man from Abu Dhabi, was over faster than expected. A broken drive shaft forced him to retire already in the introduction lap. "It is a good result for the team with position 3 and 4. Luckily my drive shaft broke in the introduction lap and not at the start. Now I guess I had enough bad luck and look forward to the next race and do it better."
tolimit head of motorsport and Supercup team manager Michael Seifert is, however, satisfied with the result:"Sean had to give up his lead in the driver championship by two points, however, we caught up significantly in the team standings with his and Jeroen's result. A great team effort. Khaled seems to have rented bad luck. First it was the barriers in qualifying and then the drive shaft in the race. We will need to sort that out and make sure that he can push again in the next race. "

Ted Koppel To Honor Iraq War Dead On Friday's "Nightline"
Discussion in 'Current Events' started by RBMaraman, Apr 28, 2004.
Ted Koppel will devote the entire half-hour of "Nightline" Friday to reading names and showing photographs of the more than 500 U.S. servicemen and women killed in action in Iraq, ABC announced Wednesday.
Each service member's photo will be shown, along with his or her name, military branch, rank and age as Koppel reads the name aloud. Since the ABC News broadcast is just 30 minutes, it will include only those killed in action in Iraq since March 19, 2003, as certified by the Defense Department.
The network will use photos and information from the Army Times Publishing Company's online "Faces of Valor" database.
"Memorial Day might have been the most logical occasion on which to do this program," Koppel said. "But we felt that the impact would actually be greater on a day when the entire nation is not focused on its war dead."
ABC News will simulcast the program live on its Jumbotron screen in Times Square, and ABC News Radio will air excerpts, the network said.
"Nightline" airs in most markets at 11:35 p.m. EDT.
I approve of the plan of Ted Kopell to honor our service men and women that have died in Iraq. It should only be to honor their brave patriotic service. If they use it to make any kind of political statement, then they should be ashamed of themselves.
It should only be to honor their brave patriotic service. If they use it to make any kind of political statement, then they should be ashamed of themselves.
I rather doubt it's being done solely as a tribute. This is a hard news show. I think it's meant to be thought-provoking. People will draw their own conclusions, of course, and I don't believe Nightline is trying to force into one conclusion or another.
But it's a very interesting way to do the news.
I too hope that Mr. Koppel makes no attempt to disallow people to draw their own conclusions, however, I think that Senator Wellstone's funeral was probably the way he would have wanted it.
I think that Senator Wellstone's funeral was probably the way he would have wanted it.
We're not even out of Iraq yet - what about all the others who will die later this year.
I don't know if this is the best use of the show - anyone watching would soon get inundated with too many faces and it will all be a blur later. For those who lost a family member, it might have more personal meaning.
I think its a bit sensational and unnecessary. We're just getting around to putting a national WWII memorial on the Washington Mall - it opens tomorrow. The scope of the conflict in Iraq is a bit minor compared to WWII - but don't get me wrong, I'm not demeaning any soldier who's payed the ultimate sacrifice for their country. I just think its too early to start honoring the dead and work harder to solve the problem and prevent more deaths.
When I first read the headline to this post, I thought he was going to honor iraqis who are killed. Too bad that gets glossed over. I'm not saying we should go out of our way to honor those iraqi's killed in actual combat (thougn its not unusual for the military to honor those they fight), but those innocent iraqi's who have died because of this war, whether it be by shrapnel, being in the wrong place at the wrong time, accidents or being mistaken for being combatents. Far more iraqi's have been killed than US personel, and I'd wager that the number of innocents killed is very high in this and many other of our military efforts. If we supposedly freed them, then they are our allies, and deserve to be honored as well I think. And what about hose from other countries that have died fighting our war with us. I think we tend to focus way too much on our own forces and not those that fight with us.
I think we tend to focus way too much on our own forces and not those that fight with us.
I am member of team America not team Iraqi so yea I root for my own team.
i agree 100%. many hundreds of soldier's will continue to pay the ultimate sacrifice for their country. regardless of my beliefs and feelings over the war, every soldier deserves to be rememberd, not just those who have served up to the date this show airs on.
i could go on forever about who else deserves to be included but i'm sure everyone here has similar ideas.
The title of this thread should say, "Ted Koppel to honor americans killed in Iraq. The term Iraqi refers to people from Iraq. Just pointing out something that could be very confusing to some people.
Yeah, I realised it right after I posted. I should have said "Ted Koppel To Honor American Troops Killed In Iraq."
Still, I think it's pretty obvious. Why would Ted Koppel and "Nightline" be honoring Iraqi's killed when "Nightline" isn't broadcast in Iraq? Before people jump all over me, I should say that I think the innocent Iraqi's killed during the war do need to be honored in some way. "Nightline" probably isn't the best venue for something like that.
good thing america has a free press and information flows without any political restrictions whatsoever.
and Republican Candidates, nothing to Democrats.
One affiliate, WTXL has stated it will run the show, as its contract does not allow for pre-emption, the other 7 have pulled the show.
Today on her radio broadcast, Arnie Arnesen mentioned it, and will do so on her TV show tonight: pointing out that a big deal was made over Tillman, so it can't be because of privacy issues."
can you say "battleground states?"
Stop imagining things - Sinclair is a private company and they can do what they want. Its this kind of stuff in the media that caused the public's negative reaction to Vietnam, which led to my father - a Marine who did no wrong while in combat - to be spit on and kicked by the 'peaceful Hippies' when he returned from Vietnam.
You're right. Recognizing each and every fallen soldier is the same as kicking them and spitting on them.
God forbid we should do anything to try to bring our soldiers home.
And yet the GOP continues to complain about the "liberal media." Complete and utter B.S., when you consider that something like 99% of media outlets in this country are owned by five companies, maybe seven at most. Yeah, I bet Hearst is a big Democrat.
I just think its too early to start honoring the dead and work harder to solve the problem and prevent more deaths.
Thing is, though, if the White House is allowed to keep glossing over both the financial and human costs of this war, that'll never happen.
"Your decision to deny your viewers an opportunity to be reminded of war's terrible costs, in all their heartbreaking detail, is a gross disservice to the public, and to the men and women of the United States Armed Forces," McCain, a Vietnam veteran, wrote in a letter to David Smith, president and CEO of Sinclair Broadcast Group. "It is, in short, sir, unpatriotic. I hope it meets with the public opprobrium it most certainly deserves."
I am writing to respond to your letter to me regarding Sinclair Broadcast Group's decision not to air this evening's episode of "Nightline."
Let me begin by saying that no organization more fully supports our military than Sinclair. In no way was our decision intended to show any disrespect to the brave members of our military, particularly those who have sacrificed their lives in service of our country. To the contrary, our decision was based on a desire to stop the misuse of their sacrifice to support an anti-war position with which most, if not all, of these soldiers would not have agreed.
You have a strong point. But it does put a human face on the daily reports of those killed. Unfortunately there would not be enough time in the day to list those wounded or maimed.
I may not agree with us being there, yet I feel that we should remember those that went to Iraq under orders from our government.
Sinclair makes Fox look liberal.
Maryland-based Sinclair Broadcast Group - a media company with links to the White House - barred its ABC-affiliated stations from airing the broadcast.
God I love censorship, it makes for such a well informed, global, community. When governments start repressing the horrors of war from their citizen's eyes, to further their personal goals, it degrades the world's view of that country for years to come. I am extremely angered at this complete lack of respect for the citizens of the us, and how the government has gotten to a point at which they think, and do, control, exploit and sit on the media. This needs to stop, now, and it should start with the other EU nations bringing their troops out of Iraq.
Prime time, friday night, during sweeps, with commercial breaks. This thing has profits written all over it. They should have aired this on memorial day and commercial free. This wasn't political in nature, but a business decision.
TV stations set there advertising price based on sweeps week. The fact that this aired will mean that the network can charge more for airtime over the next year. Way to use the sacrifice our soldiers made to make money. Not a classy move.
The idea was nice, but the timing was all wrong.
wrong. a tv show that consisted of nothing but photos and names would never be considered as something that would make money. the only reason this show even landed on the radar is because the attempted suppression was so much of an overt display of how the right wing are in firm control of both our political and media circles.
You mean FAUX isn't liberal? I mean, we all know the media is run by liberals... right?


Really Does Diabetes Destroyer Deliver Results?
Before plunging into different diabetes therapy for type 1 and 2 what follows is a short overview of diabetes. The hormonal agent insulin aids the blood glucose levels, also referred to as blood sugar, as well as utilize this sugar for energy.

Can Mikel Leshoure conquer Ohio State?
Hidden on a program that's not been in a bowl game since the Rose Bowl after the 2007 season, Illinois junior running back Mikel Leshoure is piling up the rushing yards in virtual anonymity. That would change if he could extend his streak and end one by the Ohio State defense when Illinois (2-1) hosts No. 2 Ohio State (4-0) in the Big Ten Conference opener Saturday (11 a.m., Big Ten Network).
With 180 yards rushing against Northern Illinois, Leshoure has 100 yards or more in his last four games, becoming the first Illini runner to accomplish the feat since 1997. In the last nine games, Leshoure has 969 yards.
Meanwhile, Ohio State hasn't allowed a 100-yard rusher in 27 games, a span that dates to 105 yards by USC's Joe McKnight in early 2008 and ranks second only to Alabama's streak of 35 games.
Putting up a big number "would put me on a more national level,'' Leshoure said. "Just to do something against a reanked team, it opens more eyes and makes more people believe. It's the national exposure. It's hard for people to see me and see what I'm doing without having to follow Illinois football.
"It would be big for me.''
The Ohio State defense knows a little bit about playing in the shadows, despite being ranked second in the Big Ten and fifth nationally in rushing defense (71 yards per game allowed). The Buckeyes are second in the Big Ten in total defense (240.2).
Thanks primarily to 13 turnovers created by the defense, Ohio State ranks second nationally in turnover margin (plus-2.5). To the casual fan, Ohio State is known for Heisman Trophy candidate Terrelle Pryor.
"That defense has really been the propeller for their offense,'' Illini quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase said. "That defense caused a whole bunch of turnovers and gave them some great field position. Against Miami, the Ohio State offense was able to capitalize off that, getting points without long drives.''
CONFIDENCE: The Illini are in a much better mood this season against Ohio State than last year, when the Illini were suffered a 30-0 loss in Ohio Stadium and their first shutout since 2006. On offense, the Illini put their faith in coordinator Paul Petrino.
"Petrino is fired up when we play Northern Illinois and Southern Illinois,'' wide receiver A.J. Jenkins said. "His intensity has risen a little bit. He's not going to let us be scared or panicking. I feel more confident than last year. He'll put the offense in a position that the Ohio State defense has to stop us. We're going to be weapons, and we can put up points.''
DEPTH CHART: Wide receiver Eddie McGee (sprained ankle) is expected to play against Ohio State even though he's not 100 percent, coach Ron Zook said. Doctors cleared fullback-tight end Zach Becker (broken foot), but it's uncertain if he will play. Bandit Nate Palmer (turf toe) is back and will play for the first time this season. Cornerback Terry Hawthorne (broken foot) is unlikely to play.
The status of guard Hugh Thornton and bandit Michael Buchanan will likely be determined after a meeting between Zook and athletic director Ron Guenther. Buchanan, who missed the last two games because of a DUI arrest earlier this month, has been cleared by the university to play after showing remorse and apologizing to his teammates, Zook said.
Thornton, who was arrested for underage drinking earlier in his career, was also involved in a late-night incident over the weekend. Zook said he wasn't terribly concerned about the recent arrests.
"I don't worry about discipline,'' Zook said. "(Players) understand what's right and what's wrong.''
ETC.: About 500 tickets remained Tuesday afternoon for the conference opener. ... Leshoure's streak of four games over 100 yards tied him for the school record with Robert Holcombe and J.C. Caroline. ... Fans donating non-perishable food will receive a 30 percent-off coupon to GameDay sports.

Loud explosion heard from Holston Army Ammunition Plant
Matthew Lane, Kingsport Times News • Jan 3, 2019 at 3:41 PM
KINGSPORT – Fire destroyed a building at the Holston Army Ammunition Plant Thursday morning, with a subsequent controlled burn of the structure triggering an explosion about four hours later.
According to Justine Barati, the Director of Public and Congressional Affairs for Joint Munitions Command, no workers were in the building at the time of either incident. One employee who was in proximity to the initial fire was transported to Holston Valley Medical Center for observation, Barati said, and out of an overabundance of safety.
An alarm sounded near one of the buildings at approximately 8 a.m., indicating a fire. Due to the nature of the work that takes place at HAAP, Barati told the Times News she was not able to identify the building where the fire took place, but noted the 2,400-square-foot structure was near the rear of the installation.
Emergency personnel on site immediately responded to the scene and the building was secured. Barry Brickey, public information officer for the Kingsport Fire Department, said KFD personnel were called in for stand by and were positioned at the fire station inside the plant shortly before 9 a.m. However, the KFD was not requested to assist with the response.
More about the explosion from the Kingsport Times News.

I wore this skirt on New Years then tucked it away and totally forgot about it. I'm glad I found it just in time for summer because I forgot how much I loved this skirt! It's so simple and easy to style with just about any top. I wanted to go with a dressy casual look and this graphic tee went perfect and it speaks the truth, lol! I personally think this is a great every day look, minus the heels if they aren't your thing.
Similar Graphic Tee -- Purchased mine from Express, linked one of my favs.
Heels -- Only $30 and my favorite brand for inexpensive heels.
Crossbody -- Super similar to mine, except under $20!
Earrings -- Come in so many other colors.

Barnes Hospital to Patients: We Don't Want You Back
Posted By Aimee Levitt on Tue, Nov 9, 2010 at 12:54 PM
Y'all don't come back here, ya hear?
You'd think that once you're discharged from the hospital, you're no longer sick. Right? But a 2009 study by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services found that in 2004, one in five Medicare beneficiaries was readmitted to the hospital within 30 days, usually for pneumonia or urinary tract infections contracted through improper follow-up care.
The outlook was even grimmer a year out: Within 365 days, 70 percent of patients were either back in the hospital or dead. (The number was slightly lower for people who had had surgery: 53 percent.) All these boomeranging patients cost Medicare $17.4 billion.
In the interest of improving their patients' health and, of course, saving money, Barnes Jewish Hospital and Washington University Medical School has conducted a study of their own: One randomly-selected group of patients discharged from the general medicine service (that is, not surgery) would receive the standard level of care. Another group would work with a nurse transition coach for the first 30 days after leaving the hospital.
"Often patients who don't qualify for home care services still need assistance in the immediate period following hospital discharge," Sandy Graff, the nurse who coordinates the study for Washington University, said in a press release. "Our goal is to assist these patients in understanding the actions that are needed to avoid an unnecessary return to the hospital."
The nurse transition coach visits the patient at home during the first two days after discharge in order to make sure all the patient's medicines are in order, that the patient knows how to take them, and that the patient has scheduled a follow-up appointment with his or her primary-care doctor. Sometimes the patient has trouble getting the necessary medicines, and the coach helps out with that, too.
"Medications are expensive and often there are co-pays involved in obtaining them," said Dr. John Lynch, chief medical officer at Barnes and one of the principal invesigators of the study. "Patients experience significant barriers to adherence to the medical regimen when they can't afford medications or don't have transportation to and from the pharmacy, even though they want to comply with what has been prescribed."
Because it's a university hospital, Barnes has a higher readmission rate then average. It provides more specialized and cutting-edge medical procedures, and many of its patients lack the means to pay for proper medicine and follow-up care. Or as Lynch puts it, "We have a number of patients living in areas of the city that do not have the type of health care resources that other patients in the region may enjoy."
The study has yet to show any definite results, but Lynch hopes that if the study does prevent lower hospital readmission rates, Medicare and other insurance providers will start picking up the cost of sending out nurse transition coaches.

Budapest, February 9th. – Skanska donates USD 50.000 to support victims of the earthquake in Haiti. The contribution that will be made through the United Nations, has been announced by Johan Karlström, President and CEO of the Swedish construction and property developer company.
Skanska's main policy for donations in conjunction with disasters and accidents is to send support personnel, equipment and expertise to place when possible. If that's not possible, they contribute to aid organizations. Such actions have been taken in conjunction with catastrophes like New York terror attack of September 11, 2001, flooding in Czech Republic and hurricane Katrina.
Above these, Skanska has occasionally made contributions through aid organizations for example in case of with major earthquake in Pakistan and the Tsunami disaster in South-East Asia for years ago.
The past years, Skanska in Hungary has supported the children of SOS-Children's Village.

New Thinking for New Talent
Great job opportunities are available in manufacturing. Where's the qualified talent?
By Mark Kleszczewski
According to the 2011 Lloyd's Risk Index, despite high levels of unemployment across the United States, one of the biggest risks business leaders say they're facing is a talent and skills shortage. As the economy recovers, finding the right people for the right job — and then keeping them — is an area in which business leaders often feel that they are "insufficiently prepared," Lloyd's reports.
Employers can cope with the mismatch in labor supply and demand with a variety of strategies, but they can overcome the human capital hurdle more quickly by looking beyond traditional incentives and actively contributing to new forms of education and training. All across the country, such public-private partnerships are developing sector-specific training initiatives and even literally breaking new ground to build 21st-century talent pools. Two of the key ingredients to success, they're finding, is working with ever-younger students and changing the perception of today's manufacturing environment.
New Training for New Tech
In New York, state and local institutions are targeting several up-and-coming industry sectors. "What's critical to our area is to attract the kind of innovative jobs that are going to lead us into the future, so we have to make sure that we're meeting the needs of the current manufacturing base," says Shelby Schneider, director of marketing and economic development specialist, Saratoga Economic Development Corp. "Sure we've got power, water and land, but ultimately, we're working on developing the workforce pipeline early in K-12 and beyond."
A major area effort is TEC-SMART (Training and Education Center for Semiconductor Manufacturing and Alternative and Renewable Technologies), a joint initiative between Hudson Valley Community College (HVCC) and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). Located at the Saratoga Technology and Energy Park (STEP), the center trains the workforce in semiconductor manufacturing green technologies, including photovoltaics, home energy efficiency, geothermal, alternative fuels and wind energy. Graduates are qualified to work for major employers such as GlobalFoundries, General Electric, SunPower and Alteris Renewables.
NYSERDA's partnership with HVCC is an extension of their workforce development training efforts and shows their investment in the future of clean energy jobs, notes Robert Callender, NYSERDA's vice president for operations and energy services. "You need the workforce to grow these new areas, so by encouraging people to study these fields, we're helping to create a new generation of workers ready to fill clean-energy jobs in the state."
Hitting the Road
Direct engagement with young students is an approach used in Oklahoma, home to the Manufacturing Education Training System (METS) whose mobile manufacturing lab features hands-on training and simulations in high-tech machine tools and techniques. Behind the effort — which also provides job shadowing and paid internship opportunities — are local manufacturers, Pioneer Technology Center, and the Ponca City Development Authority all working to promote and develop careers in the manufacturing industry.
"When we created the METS mobile skills lab, this became a program that really touched the future workforce and was able to show industry that we're serious about workforce education," says Laurence Beliel, director of business expansion and retention, Ponca City (Okla.) Development Authority. "Ever since the mobile lab's first event in 2008, manufacturers who've been normally apathetic or complacent regarding education are becoming re-energized and excited about a tool that helps them recruit future employees." They are realizing that somebody finally understands what they need to help them market job opportunities, so the mobile lab is giving them the hope of a future workforce, he adds.
In North Carolina, the first-of-its-kind Northeast Regional High School of Biotechnology and Agriscience in Plymouth is a showcase of how leaders from K-12 school systems, higher education, business, agriculture and government are working in sync to build creative responses to regional opportunities.Tapping Emerging Growth
Tapping Emerging Growth
Farther north, in Kansas, the desire to stay ahead in an emerging high-tech industry is bringing together private companies and local stakeholders to provide cutting-edge training while expanding local talent.
"When you walk into a progressive factory today, you really won't see much hard automation featuring belts and pulleys anymore, you're going to see flexible automation featuring robots in all shapes and sizes," says Douglas Schenher, vice president for customer satisfaction, Yaskawa Motoman Robotics. "They're being integrated and embedded into all the factories of the future. So there's a lot of growth and great jobs in the industry right now, yet what seems to be missing are well-trained, hands-on factory workers."
The good news, however, Schenher explains, is that although many willing workers have to be trained from scratch, these new technologies can be learned in pretty short order. To stay competitive, the company has teamed up with GO Topeka's Entrepreneurial and Minority Business Development (EMBD) program and Topeka Public Schools Unified School District to offer Topeka/Shawnee County the nation's first secondary education course in industrial robotics. Additional training will be offered in a post-secondary format by Washburn Institute of Technology to all Topeka/Shawnee County citizens pursuing automation robotic skills.
"From a community and workforce development standpoint," Schenher notes, "it's been a great program for us and a key part of our long-term strategy in securing a well-trained, experienced workforce."
Moving south to San Antonio, local manufacturing companies, educational institutions and workforce agencies are coordinating efforts to identify and train new workers for industry. "To make a product and sell it, you've got to have a skilled workforce," says Gene Bowman, executive director, Alamo Area Academies. "So to develop the talent pipeline for companies, we've got a unique collaborative where everybody has skin in the game."
Their industry-driven "manufacturing academy" actually consists of four academies, including Aerospace, Information Technology and Security, Advanced Technology and Manufacturing and Health Professions. The program has been recognized by the National Association of Manufacturers and The Manufacturing Institute as a national model and the first to endorse a national certification curriculum.
Qualified students receive training in high-wage demand occupations and participate in a paid internship introducing them to careers in key local industries. Participating employers such as Lockheed Martin, Boeing and Toyota benefit from access to a continuous and cost-effective pipeline of skilled entry-level workers trained to their specifications.
In North Carolina, the first-of-its-kind Northeast Regional High School of Biotechnology and Agriscience in Plymouth is a showcase of how leaders from K-12 school systems, higher education, business, agriculture and government are working in sync to build creative responses to regional opportunities.
"We have a long farming tradition and some of the richest soil in the U.S., but we're also a commercialization partner for new patented plant technologies." says Vann Rogerson, president and CEO, North Carolina's Northeast Commission. "To make that grow, you've got to have students strong enough to deal with the sophistication of crops and farming techniques of the future. So the school is a key component in developing a globally competitive niche in agriculture-based biotechnology."
The effort fits neatly with a new certification program for farmers cultivating biotech-related crops in the region. "We see our certified farmers growing new, high-value specialty crops," Rogerson says. "Then, as more and more acres are grown, processing and packaging jobs will follow in what will be a natural fit for our rural region."
Though shortages in technical skills are likely to persist for years to come, employers don't have to wait for the labor market to catch up on its own. Just as smart companies harness innovation and collaboration to gain competitive advantage, they can tap into new forms of education and community partnerships that are using the same forces to create a modern, skills-based workforce.
"I think the new paradigm is that industry follows people and the bar is rising for everyone," Schneider says. "You can grow from within, yet world-class talent is a really important way to define your community and company. I see a lot more industry attracted to this area as we ensure that employers know they have great opportunities to get the training they need."
"A lot of kids have been told by their parents or grandparents that industry is not where you want to be, but they don't really understand that today's manufacturing is high tech and takes a lot of skills," Beliel says. "We're helping them see that the technology they enjoy — computers and software — are used every day in industry and that it's a great place to be. For employers, we're giving them the hope of having a future workforce they can count on."

Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Dopo non essere stato scelto nel Draft NFL 2013, Wright firmò coi Tampa Bay Buccaneers del suo ex allenatore a Rutgers Greg Schiano, venendo spostato dal ruolo di wide receiver a quello di tight end. Nella sua prima stagione disputò tutte le 16 partite, di cui otto come titolare. Le sue 571 yard ricevute e i cinque touchdown pareggiarono il record NFL per un rookie non scelto nel Draft. Inoltre fu l'unico tight end al primo anno nel 2013 a superare le 500 yard ricevute.

New England Patriots
Il 26 agosto 2014, Wright fu scambiato coi New England Patriots assieme a una scelta del quarto giro per Logan Mankins. Nella sua prima stagione con la nuova maglia, come riserva del tight end All-Pro Rob Gronkowski, segnò sei touchdown, giungendo fino al Super Bowl XLIX vinto contro i Seattle Seahawks.

Detroit Lions
Dopo avere passato la pre-stagione 2015 di nuovo coi Buccaneers, il 31 agosto Wright fu scambiato coi Detroit Lions.

Metallic vapor behind noctilucent reflectivity?
By Will Parker on September 26, 2008 in News
An explanation for the radar reflecting property of noctilucent clouds – the thin, wispy clouds that hover at the edge of space at 85 km altitude – has been proposed by a plasma physicist from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), possibly laying to rest a decades-long mystery.
Noctilucent clouds, also known as night-shining clouds, were first described in 1885, two years after the massive eruption of Krakatoa sent up a plume of ash and debris up to 80 km into Earth's atmosphere. The eruption affected global climate and weather for years and it also may have produced the first noctilucent clouds.
The effects of Krakatoa eventually faded, but the unusual electric blue clouds remain, nestled into a thin layer of Earth's mesosphere. The clouds, which are visible during the deep twilight, are most often observed during the summer months at latitudes from 50 to 70 degrees north and south, although in recent years they have been seen as far south as Utah and Colorado. Noctilucent clouds are a summertime phenomenon as, paradoxically, the atmosphere at 85 km altitude is coldest in summer, promoting the formation of the ice grains that make up the clouds.
It was 25 years ago that researchers at Poker Flat, Alaska, first noticed that the clouds were highly reflective to radar. This unusual property has long puzzled scientists and Caltech's Paul M. Bellan believes he may now have an explanation. He hypothesizes that the ice grains in noctilucent clouds are coated with a thin film of metal, made of sodium and iron; and the metal film causes radar waves to reflect off ripples in the cloud in a manner analogous to how X-rays reflect from a crystal lattice.
Bellan explained that sodium and iron atoms collect in the upper atmosphere after being blasted off incoming micrometeors. These metal atoms settle into a thin layer of vapor that sits just above the altitude at which noctilucent clouds occur (Interestingly, astronomers have recently have been using this sodium layer to create laser-illuminated artificial "guide stars" for adaptive optics telescopes that remove the distorting affects of atmospheric turbulence to produce clearer celestial images). Measurements of the density of sodium and iron atomic vapor layers show that the metal vapor is depleted by over 80 percent when noctilucent clouds are present.
"Noctilucent clouds have been shown to act very much like a flycatcher for sodium and iron atoms," Bellan says. Indeed, in laboratory experiments, other researchers have found that at the frigid temperatures within noctilucent clouds, atoms in sodium vapor quickly become deposited on the surface of ice to form a metallic film. "If you have metal-coated ice grains in noctilucent clouds, the radar reflectivity can become enormous," Bellan explains. "This reflectivity is not the sum of reflections from individual ice grains, which would not produce a very large reflection. Instead, what happens is that ripples in the cloud of metal-coated ice grains reflect in unison and reinforce each other, somewhat like an army marching in step across a bridge causes the bridge to vibrate."

Question: "Do you think there should be a conversation about impeachment right now?"
If they love superheroes and comics, like to dress up and they mysteriously disappeared Friday, there's a good chance they can be found at @slcomiccon. It seems everyone has their own inner comic character.

This puck gotta be taped on there right!
MAMA, THERE GOES THAT MAN.
Marvel Studios' "@Avengers: #InfinityWar" in theaters May 4.
There will be plenty of blame to go around for #Flames, and there should be, but also give credit to this Avalanche squad. Played a fast, frustrating brand all series and cashed on their opportunities. No doubt they deserve to win this series.
The reason there's no infield fly rule when there's only one runner on is because you're not supposed to be able to get a DP.
Assuming the batter runs to first.
Justin Bour did not, and the Mariners got a DP.
We got to the 9th, tied 3-3.

Have fun out there among the stars.
So, it has now been determined, by 18 people that truly hate President Trump, that there was No Collusion with Russia. In fact, it was an illegal investigation that should never have been allowed to start. I fought back hard against this Phony & Treasonous Hoax!
In 2018 people stepped up and showed up like never before. Keep it up in 2019. We've got a lot of work to do, and I'll be right there with you. Happy New Year, everybody!
....Since there was no Collusion, why was there an Investigation in the first place! Answer - Dirty Cops, Dems and Crooked Hillary!


When Raven made the world, he sought out Black Bear, the keeper of dreams and memory, and Black Bear agreed that every one in 10 Black Bears would be white, the Spirit Bears, to remind us of the times when the Earth was covered in nothing but ice and snow. They are a symbol of peace and harmony. In return for Black Bear's help, Raven made the Great Bear Rainforest, where he promised the bears would live in peace for all time.
I was recently lucky enough to attend a photo essay on the Great Bear Rainforest hosted by Raincoast, a charity dedicated to protecting the Great Bear. It was beyond moving to see so many ethereal pictures of Grizzlies, Black Bears, and Spirit Bears in their natural habitat – mothers and baby cubs swimming through estuaries, peacefully eating grass, or resourcefully catching salmon.
These majestic creatures seemed to completely ignore the interloping cameramen (and camerawomen) who floated in river crafts to watch them. The bears have gotten used to the boats, and seem to regard them as logs floating down the river, affording the viewers a life-changing experience of communion with the Great Bear.
Every year, patrons pay a handsome price for the experience of money to come for this experience. Bear viewing is now generating 10 times the amount of money that hunting brings in and supplies far more jobs, particularly in First Nations communities.
And yet, these otherworldly beings and their cousins, the grizzlies, are in grave danger from multiple angles, such as pipeline disasters and trophy hunting. Hunting and pollution cannot coincide with a bear viewing economy and, just or more importantly, a healthy ecosystem.
Each year approximately 300 bears, black and grizzly, are murdered for their heads and paws. The most sought after 'prizes' are the grand-daddy bears that father many cubs (Grizzlies reproduce later in life and produce few cubs), and when they are killed, new males may take over their territory and cull the cubs; the consort females of the killed older males and cubs avoid these new males and move off the territory to areas where conditions are more difficult for cub-rearing. Therefore, the population suffers the loss of more than just the human-killed bears; more heart breaking when one considers that. Even more upsetting is the notion that this is not hunting to feed one's family. Instead, it's killing for sport.
