Crain™s Cleveland Business: PartsSource® Sees Growth Opportunities in Medical Device Market
The company has been adding to its offerings in recent years, but a new owner in Boston-based Bain Capital Private Equity could accelerate that growth
CLEVELAND, August 1, 2021 – PartsSource Inc. wants to simplify the medical equipment parts and service marketplace.
The Aurora-based company got its start in 2001, but it's seen a lot of recent growth. In the past four years, the company has gone from having 100 hospitals on its enterprise model to more than 1,200, said president and CEO Philip Settimi. In total, it serves more than 3,500 hospitals and 15,000 clinical sites in the U.S., as well as some outside the country, with its marketplace of more than 6,000 suppliers. "And it's growing rapidly every single day," Settimi said. Settimi joined PartsSource as CEO in 2014. He's a physician by training who had been working in medical technology and health care IT. Health care systems had turned to software for patient management, creating efficiencies and helping doctors better assess data, he said. He thought that kind of digital transformation could be beneficial throughout the systems.
PartsSource focuses on providing that in the medical equipment parts space. When it began two decades ago, it focused on creating a marketplace that has become more digital over time. In the years since Settimi joined, PartsSource has been growing and adding more services for its customers. And Settimi sees a lot of growth opportunities with the recently announced acquisition of PartsSource by Bain Capital Private Equity in Boston. The company is not disclosing the terms of the deal with its current owner, Boston-based Great Hill Partners, but the Wall Street Journal has reported that the deal values PartsSource at $1.25 billion. The acquisition is expected to close in the third quarter of 2021.
PartsSource takes on the complex medical supply chain for its customers, bringing thousands of vendors and service providers into one space. It has about 250 employees, the majority of whom work in Northeast Ohio. Settimi declined to share the company's annual revenue. PartsSource is a controlled marketplace, rather than an open one. The company draws on data to find the most reliable and cost-effective suppliers for its customers, Settimi said. It also has rapid-response teams on call for customers who are having trouble finding just the right part or product. The end result of having a more automated approach is more "clinical availability," Settimi said, as medical providers are less likely to have to turn patients away because a piece of equipment is being replaced or repaired. But the medical industry is still relatively "analog" when it comes to the equipment supply chain, Settimi said. It can be difficult to find the best source for a product, especially on short notice. So PartsSource created the procurement software medical systems need to automate that process alongside its marketplace of products and services." We've really created this turnkey purchasing platform for teams in mission-critical roles in health care," Settimi said.
PartsSource has been adding to its product and service offerings. The company recently was acquired by Bain Capital Private Equity.


Once again, the Tour de Taiwan is upon us. It is usually a time when I can sit back, roll my eyes at the anaemic route selection, debate if I should even bother writing anything about the race, then end up dicking on it for blog content. Though, some years it hasn't really been worth even blog-fill status.
It is usually the same or similar routes that cover the some of the least inspiring roads and landscapes Taiwan has to offer, while barely offering a challenge to thin out the skilled riders from the hangers-on. Some routes even sent riders into the gloom of industrial Dajia to pay homage to Giant Manufacturing, leaving way too much on the table and again failing to show an international audience why Taiwan is a top tier cycling destination.
With the 2016 iteration of the Tour de Taiwan looming (March 6 - March 10), I thought I should take a look at this years's offering, and I was surprised to see something a bit different. It is by far not the perfect route and still has a lot to complain about, but it is something that does actually have some merits that I can highlight between sighs, eye-rolls and exasperated exclamations of, "whatthefuck!"
The first stage of the TdT is usually a short criterium or time trial to leave room for opening ceremonies and an opportunity to promote the race in a highly visible area. Taipei would be that area.
The first stage of the TdT fits the bill. It is pretty much a circuit along Ren Ai Rd. from Taipei City Hall to the National Taiwan Museum and back. Between straightaways there are two roundabouts and the more technical navigation of the city hall building, where there will be three opportunities to pick up points for the sprinters in the bunch and probably where the action will be. If the pace is hot it could be a fun opening, but it could also become an over adorned warm up lap.
Usually the first stage seeks to establish some kind of order in the peloton. This is, by far, not the most imaginative route and has few surprises. What is there to say... it is a one-road loop.
The second stage will also be rather short, coming in at 116km, but will provide something a little more interesting than a criterium.
Stage 2 starts off on the historic Tamshui area and then follows the No. 2 Coastal Highway to Wanli. The Highway 2 follows a series of low rollers long the windy northern coast toward Keelung. Riders will have to perform a loop on the 北15 before tying a knot out in Wanli where they will have the chance to pick up points on the sprints and the battle of the KOM will officially get started. It is hard to call it s KOM with a 71m climb, followed by a 361m climb on the 北28. After doubling back for a second sprint at the same place, the riders follow the coast back to Baisha.
What I like about this stage, is that the route crosses in several locations to add a little flair to the map, and it also incorporates some local routes aside from the provincial highways, which proves the point I have been making for a long time---That Taiwan's best local roads are capable of supporting a competitive stage race. They are wide enough, safe enough, and smooth enough.
What really annoys me about this section, is that with so many amazing roads that cut through the old Yangmingshan volcano, the route planners insist on covering the same ground by doubling back over the route in return. The planners could very easily have stuck a real climb into the route and had the riders charge over the mountain before cruising back into Basha. It could be a sand to summit affair. In general the planners seem to have forgotten that most of Taiwan is mountainous and kept the climbs about as intimidating as a petting zoo.
It is the third stage of five and the race has still not moved out of the top eighth of the country. This is because the area around the Taoyuan International Airport is so captivating and because fumes from jet fuel are so invigorating they could not resist hosting a race to advertise the tourism potential of the Taoyuan Areotropolis--a disaster in the making (HERE)--rather than directing the race into the foothills between Taoyuan and Hsinchiu. In this case it appears the luscious asphalt of Hsinchu and Miaoli counties will be left to be enjoyed by the local amateur riders who know how to enjoy them.
The TdT route through Taoyuan is essentially the same as last year with a gradual increase in altitude, providing three opportunities for KOM contenders to grab a few points after the sprinters have had their fun way back near the coast. Now, I must admit, I do think the area around the Shimen Reservoir is a pretty place to cycle if you have to pass through Taoyuan. The final KOM offers 438m of altitude--another relatively small climb for Taoyuan, but I am sure the contenders will make a meal of it. If the race organisers could just dispatch with the part of the race that involves cycling on expressways and stick to the more exciting roads of the interior.
Living in central Taiwan, I tend to hate on the central stages the most, This time it isn't the case. I can see the logic in this.
Starting at Nantou City Hall so that all the Bigs can be seen looking important, the race heads down probably the worst section of the Highway 3 south of Taoyuan. The entire stretch through Nantou is just a pit. I would have suggested leaving Nantou on the 139, which would go through Jiji anyway. I know the are trying to work in the Route 152 bikeway, where tourists pump pedal cars and rentals among shady trees and train tracks. I can't remember if there are places where old rail lines cross the road or not. Something to watch out for. The greatest innovation here is with the use of the Route 131. It is not exactly the most challenging road into the Sun Moon Lake area. It is actually a quiet little road that allows a rider to slowly climb without having to confront harder climbs on the other routes. This again shows that smaller roads can support this race. The route returns to Nantou on the Highways 21 and 14. These are both favorites of the Taichung triathlon community. They are wide, smooth and direct. There are a couple of short, but annoying climbs coming out of the Highway 14 into Cautun. The route loops back through Nantou because it is so nice they need to ride it twice. Then the riders are directed into Sun Moon Lake on the Highway 21. The Highway 21 is not a bad road. It is not my favorite road into the area, but it has a bit of a grade and it traverses the jungle around Shuili. Since Taiwan has to advertise Sun Moon Lake, and stage racing has been married to tourism since the very beginning, this is one way to work Sun Moon Lake into the equation. Stage 4 has two opportunities each for the sprinters and KOM. At 789m, the climb over by that silly concrete tower will have to suffice. Again, there are better roads, but for the TdT, this actually isn't the usual offering.
The fifth and final stage in the TdT is another route of respectable distance in an area that shows a little more imagination that the circuit racing or years past. The fifth stage immediately runs headlong into the endless foothills of Tainan's gorgeous reservoir district. I was just cycling through that area, so my memory is fresh with the feeling of being slowly beaten down over a day of punchy climbs. The route passes through Yujing to the much larger Highway 3 and then the Highway 20. The route to Jiashain is nothing spectacular. It is straight and flat. I imagine that is why they put a sprint in there to wake up the peloton. The climb to Liugui is enjoyable with a few corners on the descent.
What really perplexes me about this route is the ridiculous idea to avoid the Highway 27 on the southern side of the river. The only explanation I can imagine may be to arm photographers with zoom lenses to snap amazing photos of the riders passing in front of the looming misty haystack mountains that line the northern bank. Otherwise the Highway 27甲 is in worse condition and much uglier than the tree covered pastoral beauty of the Highway 27 and its superior scenery. The other innovation of this route is to hug the hills and then finish the race with a climactic KOM bid into the Rukai village of Wutai before the road falls apart. Again, the climb is a mere 816m, which is a mere coffee and cake climb in Taiwan, and would be better mid race.
The 2016 Tour de Taiwan offers several improvements in offering more scenic and creative routes to maintain spectator interest if it is televised. The organisers seemed to shy away from any of Taiwan's iconic climbs to make a distinction between the Tour de Taiwan and the Wuling KOM. It still seems they left way too many routes on the table and failed to really include a nasty climb like last year's inclusion of the Highway 21 route to nearly 3000m on Alishan. Moreover, the 2016 TdT spends most of the race confined to the greater Taipei area while neglecting most of Taiwan--especially the foothills of Hsinchu County, Miaoli and Taichung. The Highway 21 from Taichung to Puli would make a great addition in the future. At five stages the Tour de Taiwan is a little short for the available riding. I would like to see another stage or two to increase the drama with maybe a team time trial to really encourage the display of the teamwork that goes into stage racing.
In looking at the teams, I am again reminded of the past troubles we have had with allegations and implications of doping and dopers in the TdT peloton. The Iranian teams and VINO 4-Ever-SKO seem to be constantly battling the aura of scandal swirling around their teams. Looking at last year where the top places were all grabbed by riders who had previously served a ban for doping.
The winner of the KOM was suddenly poised to take it all.
This wouldn't have been a big deal. It really wouldn't. The only issue is that Mirsamad Pourseyedigolakhour, the winner of the KOM and eventual winner of the Tour de Taiwan... is a drug cheat.
The Iranian cyclist just returned from a two-year vacation for the use of EPO. Another Iranian cyclist to grab the second slot, Hossein Askari, recently served a one year ban for methylhexaneamine. The third place on the GC was also snagged by a drug cheat. Rahim Emamai, who also took the 2013 Wuling KOM, previously served a two-year ban for clenbuterol, a drug known as the asthma medicine of choice than made its way into seasoning Alberto Contador's prime rib.
Only Patrick Bevin, the Kiwi of the Avanti Racing Team, made the podium without the dark clouds of a recent doping ban hovering over his head.
Another disappointment is that Giant, the bicycle company that many Taiwanese take great pride in as a globally recognized bicycle brand, and a perennial sponsor of the Tour de Taiwan, will be headlining a team from China, while its less visible RTS brand will be represented by Taiwanese riders.
UnitedHealthcare Pro Cycling Team / U.S.A.
Skydive Dubai Pro Cycling Team / DubaiTeam Illuminate / U.S.A.
I just hope everyone has a safe and welcome stay in Taiwan. Hopefully some of the riders will return and discover what the TdT won't let them see.

American actress, writer, and comedian
German American actor, screenwriter, producer and film director (1892-1947)
Canadian writer
Amazon Studios and Kaling International are developing Uzma Jalaluddin's novel "Hana Khan Carries On" as a film.
The story puts a modern Muslim spin on a premise first made famous by the Ernst Lubitsch classic "The Shop Around the Corner," which was later updated with Nora Ephron's "You've Got Mail."

Mindy Kaling on Zoom Writers Rooms, Growing as a Leader and Why She Loved 'Barb and Star'
With 'Legally Blonde 3,' 'Never Have I Ever' and More, Mindy Kaling Is the Queen of a Growing Comedy Empire
The novel follows two competing Halal shops. Hana's family owns a restaurant called Three Sisters in the Golden Crescent neighborhood of Toronto, and its business is threatened when a more commercial, fusion-based eatery moves in down the street. The catch is that Hana and the owner of the other restaurant, Aydin, have an instant romantic connection.
Sahar Jahani will write the script, while Mindy Kaling and Jessica Kumai Scott will produce via Kaling International.
Kaling co-created and executive produces the Netflix series "Never Have I Ever." She is currently in production on the first season of her HBO Max/Warner Bros. Television comedy "The Sex Lives of College Girls," and she is also executive producing and voicing the title character in Warner Bros. Animation's upcoming HBO Max adult animated comedy "Velma."
Kaling previously created and starred in "The Mindy Project" and also served as a writer, executive producer and star of "The Office," earning six Emmy nominations for her work. In 2019, Kaling executive produced, wrote and starred in the feature film "Late Night." She is also the author of the New York Times–bestselling books "Why Not Me?" and "Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns)."
Jahani most recently wrote on "13 Reasons Why," "The Bold Type" and the first season of "Ramy." She was also a fellow of the 25th Annual Project Involve Program for Film Independent and is currently developing an original half-hour series with HBO Max, which will be produced by A24 and Ramy Youssef's Cairo Cowboy.
Jalaluddin writes "Samosas and Maple Syrup," a culture and parenting column for the Toronto Star. Her debut novel, "Ayesha at Last," is a revamped "Pride and Prejudice" set in a close-knit Toronto Muslim community. An adaption is in development at Sony with Pascal Pictures, with Jahani on board to adapt.
Kaling is represented by CAA, 3Arts, The Lede Company and Ziffen Law. Jahani is represented by APA, RAIN Management, and Morris Yorn. Jalaluddin is represented by Hotchkiss Daily & Associates and Rees Literary Agency.

«Алем-і Нісван» (, ) — перший у світі тюрксько-мусульманський жіночий журнал. Журнал почали друкувати кримськотатарською мовою з використанням арабського алфавіту в Криму в 1906 році, видавництво тривало до 1912 року. Головним редактором журналу була Гаспринська Шефіка Ісмаїловна.

Історія створення
В Ісмаїла Гаспринського, кримськотатарського видавця рубежу ХІХ-ХХ століття, з подачі його дружини, Зехри Акчуріної-Гаспринської виникла ідея видання жіночого мусульманського журналу. На сторінках основної газети «Терджиман» () неодноразово порушувалися жіночі питання. Унаслідок цього з'явилося окреме періодичне видання. У 1887 році Акчуріна-Гаспринська зробила першу спробу створити жіночий журнал «Тербиє» (). У 1891 році сам Гаспринський попросив дозволу випускати два рази на місяць додаток до газети «Кадин» (), однак влада Російської Імперії не підтримала прохання.

Самостійне видання
У 1905 році після лібералізації законодавства новий журнал отримав право на життя.

Дочка Гаспринського Шефіка обійняла посаду редактора нового видання, а сам Гаспринський залишився редактором-видавцем.

Розділи журналу
Мета журналу:
 просвіта жінок-мусульманок;
 ліквідація неписьменності жінок;
 підвищення культурного рівня жінок та викладання законів шаріату.

Журнал видавався як безкоштовний щотижневий додаток до газети «Терджиман». 3 березня 1906 року в Бахчисараї вийшов перший номер. У 1908—1909 роках журнал був самостійним виданням. Потім журнал перестали видавати, і в 1910 році матеріали журналу розміщували на сторінках газети «Терджиман».

З анонсу, який надрукували в газеті випливало, що в журналі публікуватимуться:
 релігійні тексти про права жінок у шаріаті;
 світські поради щодо гігієни, домашньої праці та рукоділля.
У журналі не було розважальних розділів. Були розділи присвячені науці та літературі. Також мусульманкам пропонували біографії знаменитих жінок, розповіді про інші країни, сторінки художньої літератури й листів.

Пам'ять і спадщина
У 2011 році в Кримському інженерно-педагогічному університеті пройшла наукова конференція, присвячена 105-й річниці створення журналу. Наступником журналу вважає себе сучасний кримський жіночий журнал «Арзи» («Мрія»).

On Saturday, thousands of workers gathered at the Wistron site demanding clearance of unpaid wages and better working hours. The demonstration soon turned violent and factory equipment and vehicles parked on its premises were damaged.
The Taiwanese company operates a 43-acre plant that manufactures devices for multiple brands including Apple. It has two manufacturing plants near Bangalore and produces the iPhone SE and the iPhone 7. In a statement to the Taiwan Stock Exchange, Wistron said it was doing its utmost to get the plant back up and running.
In its police complaint, Wistron has put the estimated damages at around 4.37 billion rupees (US$60 million), according to media reports. It alleged that as many as 7,000 people were involved in the incident, including 5,000 contract workers. Karnataka state's Deputy Chief Minister C.N. Ashwathnarayan has condemned the incident and said that workers should resolve wage issues through appropriate forums and not take the law into their own hands.
Apple said in a statement, "We have teams on the ground and immediately launched a detailed investigation at Wistron's Narasapura facility in India." The company emphasized its commitment to ensuring everyone in its supply chain is treated with dignity and respect. It will also examine if there was any disparity in the wages agreed and paid to employees.
The iPhone and MacBook maker has been trying to reduce its dependence on China amid the trade war between Beijing and Washington, and sees India as an alternative. The Indian government recently rolled out a production-linked incentive scheme to attract large investments in mobile phone manufacturing and specified electronic components.
Apple's contract manufacturers – Foxconn, Wistron and Pegatron – are among the 21 companies that have registered for the scheme. Wistron has committed to investing roughly 13 billion rupees ($176.74 million) in smartphone manufacturing over the next five years.
Though the incident at the Wistron plant has raised concerns among market observers, Apple is taking a number of steps to resolve the crisis and ensure that its 2021 production plans remain unchanged. It has rushed in an army of mediators to draw up a long-term labor supply contract with the authorities and ramp up security at all its manufacturing sites across India.

Q: How to check individual item in FlatList with checkbox in react native? I am creating a react native app and I used this react native checkbox  to check individual item in a FlatList.

Lewis Tan Shirtless, Underwear, Girlfriend
Posted in Categories Asian Celebrities in America, Hot Asian Men, Male Celebrity Underwear, Men in Boxer Briefs | on September 15, 2020 September 15, 2020 by Pimmy Watson
Lewis Tan Shirtless, Underwear, Girlfriend. Time to update this post because the model-turned-actor has starred in several movies and TV shows from the last time we blogged about him for years ago.
Specifically, you might want to check him out on the AMC television series Into the Badlands where he played the role of Gaius Chau. He's also on the Netflix show Wu Assassins where he's one of the main characters. For his upcoming projects, he's been cast in Mortal Kombat which is expected to be released in 2021.
Of course, the more important reason for this update is to add these gorgeous photos of the actor which we grabbed from his Instagram account (lewistanofficial):
Lewis Tan Shirtless Photos (9 October 2016). Famewatchers, meet Lewis Tan aka The Next Big Asian Hollywood Action Star. The handsome British-Chinese actor/model is co-starring as the villain Zhou Cheng in the upcoming Netflix series Iron Fist.
According to imdb.com, Lewis will be appearing in 8 episodes of the show which will begin streaming in 2017. Apparently, he auditioned for the lead role, Danny Rand, but was cast instead as Zhou Cheng.
More from i09.com: "Actor Lewis Tan will soon be hitting TV screens as one of the main villains in Iron Fist, but he actually fought to make the hero of the story Asian, instead of yet another bad guy. Tan shared on Twitter that he 'almost' played Danny Rand, but the role ultimately went to Game of Thrones actor Finn Jones. Instead, Tan was cast as Zhou Cheng, a servant of Ch'i-Lin who's tasked with killing every iteration of the Iron Fist. Tan said he's happy playing Zhou, even showing off some of his stunt choreography in an online video, but added that we need more Asian heroes in our media."
We 100% agree with Lewis that Hollywood needs a better job in its portrayal of Asians. Let's hope things move in that direction in the coming years.
Now, here are some Lewis Tan shirtless photos for those of you who are superfans of the man.
Ain't he purty? Want more hot Asian men?
Is Lewis Tan Gay or Girlfriend? Is Lewis Tan gay or straight? He is straight. And, it looks like he's got a girlfriend too. Or maybe she's the wife. We're not sure about the status of their relationship. But here's a photo of Lewis and his girlfriend/wife/partner:
For those of you wondering, the girl's name is Emi Renata Sakamoto. She is Japanese-Brazilian. Like Lewis, she is also a model.
Lewis Tan Family and Ethnicity. As we mentioned above, Lewis is part British and part Chinese. His mom is from the U.K. while his dad is from Singapore. Lewis' dad is an action director and stunt coordinator who worked with Hollywood royalty such as Steven Spielberg and Tim Burton. Here's Lewis and his parents.
Lewis Tan Underwear Model. For those of you looking for Lewis Tan shirtless and underwear photos. Lewis in his Under Armour underwear.
Our Lewis, apparently, posed for Instinct Magazine from which we grabbed these underwear photos. He's rocking his Andrew Christian boxer briefs.
He also looks good in his Diesel undies.
In closing, let us end this post with this photo of Lewis Tan modeling for Levis.

Q: How to rollback last n commits in mercurial I have got a requirement where I need to rollback last 10 commits. How can I do it. Please help.

A: The easiest thing would be to clone the repo until the last commit you want to keep.
hg clone -r last_commit_to_keep myrepo mynewrepo

A: If you haven't yet pushed, then you can use the Strip extension.
If you have pushed then It would be better to backout the commits.
Backing out a commit makes an additional commit of the exact opposite of the commit being removed, which gets appended to the repo. Hence you can still see the original commits in the repo history.


oh boy, the cold weather is here! 32 degrees when I took off this morning. Who else is a Polar Raider?
Yeah, here too. I don't own a car or truck. I love the look on people's faces when you pull up to them at a red light in temps in the single digits or below zero. priceless stuff.
well, I'm no spring chicken anymore, but I still brave the weather. I think of it as an adventure every day during the winter and the rainy season. Keeps me alive. Besides, I'm the only bike on the road at that time, for the most part. I can pretend I'm the lone biker of the apocalypse, on his way to secure more fuel and bullets.
FRICK! FRICKEN FRACKEN FRUCKEN... COLD!
That looks like excellent riding weather.

Q: How to enter values if i dont know the number and type I want user to enter fields with their types and later fill them. Types can be diffent like int, string, double etc. How can I create a method/constructor that will allow to enter values to these fields?
I don't know how to make it, because the number and type of these fields are unknown so I can not create fields in normal way like:
String name;
int age;

Should I use any List or Map, there are many of these and I cant figure it out.

A: There is another type called object and you can enter any types within object. Here below my:
public class deneme {
public static void main(String[] args) {
    Scanner scanner=new Scanner(System.in);
    Object object=scanner.next();
    System.out.println(object);

}

}
It works nice, I hope you meant this.

Stirling back after health scare
by Kate Krenzer || AHL On The Beat Archive
For the fans, players and coaches alike, the anticipation of opening weekend in Binghamton was like no other. With so much to look forward to — watching the championship banner rise to the rafters commemorating the team's 2011 Calder Cup victory, welcoming new players and seeing the familiar faces of members of last seasons' team — this opening weekend was 38 years in the making, and every moment was exciting.
For one returning member of the Binghamton Senators 2010-11 squad, this was more than just another opening weekend.
As his name was called and he stepped out of the tunnel onto the ice during team introductions, assistant coach Steve Stirling was met with thunderous applause from the crowd gathered at the Broome County Veterans Memorial Arena.
A few short months ago, that moment seemed light years away.
The day was June 5. It was a warm, sunny Sunday in Binghamton, N.Y. The night before, the Binghamton Senators had defeated the Houston Aeros, 4-2, in Game 5 of the Calder Cup Finals in front of a sellout crowd to take a 3-games-to-2 advantage in the series.
The players and coaches met at the arena for a mid-morning workout. Steve Stirling took a handful of players out onto the ice for a light practice – the team's "black aces" as well as a couple of players who chose to participate in the optional session.
Following the skate, the players went their separate ways for the afternoon as the coaches went to work preparing for Monday's trip to Houston. It was then, as he sat in his office, that Stirling began to feel ill.
"It felt like indigestion. I went and got some antacids, which I would normally have for something like that and it just didn't get any better," recalled Stirling. "I didn't have any chest pains, so I just thought it was a serious case of indigestion, which I had had hundreds of times in my life."
When over-the-counter remedies failed to ease the discomfort, Stirling knew something wasn't quite right. He picked up the phone and called his wife, Francesca, to explain that something wasn't right and that he needed her to meet him.
"You know how you know your body? I just knew in my heart that something wasn't right," Stirling said.
Upon arriving at the rink, Francesca could tell something was terribly wrong. Stirling was pale and obviously didn't feel well. She sprang to action, whistling across State Street to the City of Binghamton Fire Department.
"They came right over and put me in the ambulance, put me on an IV, gave me oxygen and asked me a million questions doing their prep work. At the hospital they ran some tests, then that night I was under the knife," said Stirling.
The crew took Stirling to United Health Services Wilson Medical Center in Johnson City, N.Y. Following a series of tests, the physician came out and explained to Francesca that they believed they would have to go in and do an angioplasty. Some time later the physician brought her in to see X-rays that had been taken and explained that Stirling now required a triple bypass.
By time Stirling went into surgery, Francesca was joined in the hospital by familiar faces, B-Sens head coach Kurt Kleinendorst, his wife Deon, part-owner Bob Carr, and athletic therapist Glen Kinney among them. The Stirlings' son Scott, who was two-and-a-half hours into a return trip to Ohio after visiting Binghamton over the weekend, turned around after learning the news.
"I had to be a rock for my family," explained Francesca, as she reflected on that day. "This is a father who they (sons Todd and Scott) idolize, respect and want to emulate. Both the boys are coaches because of Steve. I had to be the one to say that he'd be okay."
Later that night, the surgeon came out and explained that once they had gotten in they discovered they needed to do a quadruple bypass. Thankfully the surgery was successful and Stirling was resting comfortably.
The rest, as they say, is history.
The Binghamton Senators departed for Houston the following day. On June 7, they defeated the Houston Aeros, 3-2, to capture the Calder Cup in six games. Stirling had received the okay from his doctors to watch the game on TV.
"I kept dozing on and off through the first two periods. At the start of the third period, one of the nurses came in and said, 'I think you better wake up and watch this. It's 2-2 in the third.' At that point I knew it was a 20-minute game. I woke up and saw the win. I didn't sleep much after that because the excitement was so great!"
The moment their charter flight returned to Binghamton, the team boarded a bus to the hospital to celebrate with Coach Stirling, before sharing their championship with the rest of the city.
Once the celebrations quieted, bags were packed and the team had parted ways for the summer, many fans were left wondering, would Steve Stirling return to the Binghamton bench?
For Stirling and those that know him best, there was never any doubt he would rejoin the Binghamton Senators for the 2011-12 season.
"I didn't waste too much time," said Stirling. "Within three or four days of surgery they had me up and walking around. It was at that time that I asked, 'What kind of rehab do I have to do? What kind of time frame do I have to get back on my feet, go back to work and be set for September?'
"The doctor's response was that with September being three months away, unless I had a setback, that I would have no problem. So I knew then that if I did what the doctors said and followed orders that three months later I'd be ready to go and sure enough, I was ready to go."
Kleinendorst knew Stirling had already spoken to his doctors about his return to the Binghamton bench. He checked in with Stirling throughout the summer, but had no lingering doubts that his right-hand man would be ready come September.
"When he left here, he had already shared his conversation with me that he had with the doctor. The doctor felt there was absolutely no reason why he wouldn't be able to come back in September and do what he does. I was comfortable with that," said Kleinendorst.
"We did talk off and on all summer long. The one thing I always asked was, 'How are you doing?' He'd always say, 'I'm doing just fine.' He always let me know he was excited for September. There was never any waver in his approach or his voice. I never questioned the fact that he would be back."
Stirling diligently kept up with his rehab assignment, working with doctors near his home in Boston over the summer. At the end of the eight weeks he was in the best shape he had ever been in and was ready to return to work.
On Sept. 9, at the Bell Sensplex in Kanata, Ont., Stirling skated onto the ice for the first time in three months, prepared to lead a group of Ottawa Senators prospects in a workout before departing for the Toronto Maple Leafs Rookie Tournament in Oshawa.
"Before I got on the ice that day I was nervous. I hadn't been on the ice for three months. It was almost like I was a pee-wee again or like my first training camp. I felt butterflies," said Stirling.
"I was so nervous and thinking, 'How am I going to do this? Am I going to be okay? Am I going to pass the pucks all right?', but once you get out there and you get going, you get into the game and even after all these years it comes natural again. I was just like a little kid in a candy store."
Now that Stirling has settled back into the regular season routine in Binghamton, defenseman Craig Schira reflects on his return.
"He's awesome. He has been a big part of my career, personally. For the team, he's with us every day. He coaches the 'D' on the back end and has become very close with a lot of us. It means a lot to have him back," explained the third-year B-Sens blueliner.
"We're looking forward to another good year with him behind the bench and he's looking better than ever. He's very energetic and enjoying life. Seeing him bounce back after that experience motivates us. He's a very inspirational guy."
Stirling is flattered that his players are able to take something away from his experience.
"Going through the surgery is part of what I needed to do for my health. I never thought about what going through that experience and then coming back to coaching would mean to the players. I am thrilled that they can pull something out of my experience for them."
Likewise, Stirling himself returns to the rink more enlightened.
"After the first week of rehab I felt like one of the guys getting into shape again. Those eight weeks were a huge commitment. Three days a week I was on the treadmill at 7:30 in the morning ready to go. There were lectures that went along with it about the heart, nutrition and diet," Stirling says. "The other four days a week I was committed to doing the same or more on my own at home. I now have a much better understanding of what we are asking the players to do in those three months in the summer time."
Francesca (who has only missed half a dozen games that Stirling has coached over the years) is pleased to be settled back in Binghamton with her husband now, and recalled the doctor's advice at the cardiac rehab near their home on Boston.
"The doctor turned to Steve at the last session and said, 'Go out and have 20 more years of fun.'"
Stirling is sure to reach, if not surpass that milestone, whether it be on or off the ice.
"I feel exhilarated again," Stirling says enthusiastically with a smile. "Now that I'm back, everything gets better every day."

Traveling in Uttaradit province in North Thailand
Last year I did make a posting about counting all the provinces I had been in Thailand. And I saw I have been to (stayed in) 48 provinces out of the 76. So in the coming months I will travel via my postings from the most southern province I have been to the most northern province, with some photos and information about each province. This is part 32 of the 47 (out of the 77) provinces where I have at least stayed overnight once. Uttaradit province in North Thailand borders in the North-East with Laos, in the east of Phitsanulok province and in the south with Sukhothai. And in the north Uttaradit province borders with Phrae and Nan province. Of course the capital town is Uttaradit town along the Nan River and along the railroad between Bangkok and Chiang Mai. Uttaradit province is where the mountains of North Thailand begin but it is not really a tourist destination. Although there are beautiful National Parks, lakes and waterfalls. Uttaradit town is an old town where you can still find beautiful old wooden houses. Originally becoming a wealthy town as transfer point of the teak-wood industry of North Thailand.
Personally I started to come to Uttaradit while motorbike riding in medio 2014 just as a stop-over in Uttaradit town while traveling in North Thailand. Nowadays we also stop there sometimes for a lunch while traveling to/from Nan.
Fishing at Sirikit Lake
Sirikit Dam
Phu Soi Dao National Park (partly also in Phitsanulok province)
Sai Yai Forest with The biggest Teak Treek in the world
Mae Phun Waterfall
Lam Nam Nam National Park
How to get to Uttaradit province?
🚘 🛵 from Bangkok via route 32, route 1, route 117 and route 11
✈ nearest Airport in Phrae or Sukhothai although there is / was an airport (UTR) north-east of Uttaradit town.

My new synth, the Yamaha TX81Z, came in the mail yesterday. I haven't had a chance to much programming of it yet, but I am looking forward to using it. This is a short little piece I created tonight using a patch that was already on it called 'Soft Cloud'. It's a nice patch and reminds me a little bit of something Brian Eno might have used – not surprising since he used a a Yamaha DX7. This patch seems to be a user generated patch – maybe the previous owner made it?
The programming is difficult and strange, using a series of buttons on the front of it and a small LCD panel, where most of the parameter descriptions are abbreviated. I haven't successfully found an editor that could be used on the computer, so I am also looking at that as a possibility. Luckily I found a manual online, so I should be able to start working on some new sounds.

By the time all this mischief had been done, Napoleon was ready to attend to his own business once more, and I rode among the company to find the people in such a state of panic and fear as one would hardly credit.
"Get your rifles and follow me!" I shouted as I rushed forward, and it is quite certain that more than one of the men cried after me to come back, for all were so terrified that they would have suffered the loss of the stock rather than make any attempt at reclaiming it.
It must not be supposed that I am trying to make it appear as if I was wondrously brave in thus giving chase. I knew from the experience gained while with my father, that there is but one way to treat these savages, and that is to put on a bold front.
After doing any mischief the Indians would go farther and farther, until having accomplished all their desires, if their victims made no attempt to defend themselves; therefore it was necessary that we make a decided stand.
I knew full well that if we pursued, these Pawnees, as I judged them to be, would speedily be brought to their senses. Whereas if we remained idle in camp they would run off all the stock, and for us to lose that herd of cows at the very outset of the journey would indeed have been disastrous.
It was fortunate for those under my charge that they followed as I commanded, even though they did not do so willingly. When we had ridden at our best pace six miles or more, we came upon all except three of the cows who, wearied with their mad race, were now feeding; but not a feather of an Indian could be seen.
That the Pawnees knew we were coming in pursuit, there could be no doubt, and because they were not in war paint I understood that they must have an encampment near by.
Therefore, as soon as we had rounded up the cattle, I told John Mitchell it was our duty to search for the Indian camp, and there demand that they return to us, or aid us in searching for, the cows we failed to find.
