Telehealth technologies help save healthcare organization $4.6 million and more
Telehealth technology has the ability to help healthcare organizations save money, reduce costs and achieve better patient outcomes. That's what Emory Healthcare discovered.
With the help of telehealth technologies, Emory Healthcare in Atlanta saved an estimated $4.6 million in a 15-month period, increased its discharge rate by 4.9% and reduced the rate of inpatient readmissions by 2.1% by using Philips' eICU technology.
Abt Associates Inc., a research firm in Cambridge, Mass., reported these findings following an audit of Philips' eICU technology on behalf of CMS.
Philips' eICU technology includes audio and video technology, data analytics, and it interfaces with Emory's electronic health records (EHR).
Timothy Buchman, M.D., director of the Critical Care Center at Emory Healthcare, explained that they were facing several challenges that eICU ultimately helped them solve.
The first issue was not having enough staff to deliver the care needed by an increasing number of patients.
Timothy Buchman
"Critical care is a challenging discipline," Buchman said. "It's hard work. People get sick 24/7. People who go into critical care have to work 24/7. And the fact of the matter is that we have a ... widening gap between the number of caregivers who are available and the number of patients who want care."
The second, Buchman said, is Emory Healthcare is made up of many facilities throughout the Atlanta metropolitan area, and "the challenge is trying to figure out how to take scarce critical care personnel and deploy them most effectively," he said.
And the third challenge is EHRs don't provide the necessary population-level health data, Buchman said.
Telehealth technologies to the rescue
For Emory Healthcare, telehealth technologies helped them fill in the gaps. Those gaps were mainly patients' lack of access to care during off-hours -- for example, weekends and holidays.
Buchman explained that on weekends and during holidays, the senior physicians usually go home and a less experienced group of physicians is left in charge. But with eICU, an experienced ICU intensivist physician is sitting in the eICU command center, available for whatever help is needed at any time. Furthermore, patients in the ICU are able to connect with a physician whenever they need or want to simply by pressing a button at their bedside.
"We imagined that during normal business hours, it would be business as usual in the brick-and-mortar ICUs," Buchman explained. "But we wanted to add a safety layer onto that. So, 24 by seven by 365, we have teams of experienced critical care nurses who are functioning, in a sense, as air traffic control. They are sitting using the eICU system and its advanced alerting algorithms to identify patients who are drifting off trajectory."
The technologies at play
Manu Varma
More than one technology makes it possible for Emory Healthcare to achieve such results with eICU.
"You've got audio-video connections to the bedside from a command-center-type location, what we call the telehealth center," said Manu Varma, vice president and general manager of Philips Wellcentive and Hospital to Home.
He added, "What makes this really powerful is that we have the analytic and the software workflows, which sit on top of existing healthcare IT landscape," he said. "This is not an EMR replacement or anything like that; it's really an aggregation layer, an agnostic aggregation layer that sits on top of the EMR and healthcare IT that's typically deployed at the bedside."
It allows us to perceive the data, it allows us to comprehend the data, and it allows us to project the data into the future to imagine where the patient might be if we don't intervene and if we make various choices about interventions.
Timothy BuchmanM.D., director of the Critical Care Center at Emory Healthcare
This allows that central team of intensivists and nurses to watch over patients in the most efficient way possible, Varma said.
Buchman added that eICU also provides alerts and breaks down the data in a way that allows physicians to drill down into any given patient's data. "Not only on who the patient is," he said, "but what the trends have been in the patient's physiology and also the care that's been given."
Buchman said this system has been designed in a way that allows physicians to be successful at "situation awareness."
"And by situation awareness, I mean three things: It allows us to perceive the data, it allows us to comprehend the data, and it allows us to project the data into the future to imagine where the patient might be if we don't intervene and if we make various choices about interventions," he said.
Buchman said these results -- better outcomes, a better experience of care and lower costs -- "that's actually a transformational event for telehealth."

The famous altec 288 midrange driver and 515 woofer are the chief characters , and , from my own opinion the 288 is the key component.
288 (115 db) has to be played with altec horns, for home audio I personally do not recommend multi cell horns, I will suggest 311-90 , 311-60 or 329A for better sound image focus. Trust me, from 300 to 5000 Hz mid-range 288 gives amazing details and resolution defeating any high end commercial products over the world if you drive it right the way.
515 woofer is direct radiator with lower efficiency 102 db. A 5 cubic foot cabinet can down to about 70 Hz. Compare with 288 , 515 is less shining . This is because the 50+ years age the paper cone pollution by air moisture becomes soft and no longer piston motion at high frequency.
Even the designed frequency range is about 30 to 1000Hz , the 515 only being asked to work within 70 to 300 Hz because 288 will cover 300Hz and up. So that the paper cone softness become an asset as the sound will soft. Alnico magnet is another advantage.
Anyway the Altec cabinets 828H is too big for my home, I can built a smaller one or get a smaller commercial product which fits 515 and replace the woofer . How to arrange the 515 is a personal taste and it will be depending on the wood work extent, budget or deluxe . the 288 is more simple as selecting 311_60 or 311_90 horns.
My A5 system is based on a 3 way 24db DIY tube active crossover, tube line amp and power amps, plus phono amp if you desired. If we want to let 515 and 288 work right the way, understanding how does speaker work could be helpful.
A  is acceleration   of the cone.
Actually this is Newton's second law.
S is the stiffness of the spider  spring  tension.
This energy can be converted back to electric current when dynamic brake applies. Energy stored as cone speed, the higher the frequency the higher the speed as well as F1, this is known as inertial impedance. This is similar to an inductance coil to store energy and impedance rises as frequency rises, F2 energy stored as spider spring tension, energy release back to electric current when cone returns to neutral position. For constant speed of the cone , the lower the frequency the larger the displacement as well as F2, this is elastic impedance. This is similar to a capacitor has high impedance at low frequency.
At a frequency where the inertial impedance equal to elastic impedance, known as free resonant frequency F0 , where the speaker will be at the highest impedance point. For a 15 inch speaker, the F0 is about 25- 30 Hz. Start from F0 the speaker got a flat response until Fc critical frequency, beyond Fc the speaker no longer linear and getting worse on high frequency side.
15 inch = 0.381 meter so that 340/0.381= 892 or about 900 Hz.
So that a 15 inch speaker will work fine about from 30 Hz to 900 Hz , how come ?
The front view speaker cone is divided in to two equal areas by sound gravity circle which has a 0.707 time of cone diameter, and then we can assume the whole sound is emitted from the gravity circle only and as if the other part of the cone is silent.
At critical frequency Fc and 45 degree from center line, the sound from opposite side of the gravity circle will cancel each other , and sound level will down about 6 db compare with that of centre line. This is because they are 180 degree phase inversed.
Beyond the Fc , the wave length becomes shorter and shorter as the frequency raising, there will be more than one standing waves on the paper cone and caused paper cone split vibration causing sound distortion.
Due to -6 db point and cone split vibration effect, engineers suppose that the useful frequency of a paper cone speaker is between F0 to Fc.
Think about that a 15 inch paper cone woofer works with a 1.5 inch high frequency horn and the cross over frequency was set at 2.5 KHz, will it be excellent sounding ?
This is why Altec high frequency horn designed at 300Hz, 500 Hz and 800 Hz, never 900Hz or up, to cope with 15 inch woofer. From 500Hz to 5000Hz is the most sensitive area of human ear, the cross over frequency had better NOT fall into this range, and Altec 288 does it right.
I measured the frequency response of a 288B and a 288C with a high quality AKG microphone, the results are a bit different each other.
The result of a 288B , response drops serousely at beyond 6000Hz. This is a bit different from that of the official manual.
Anyway the high side crossover frequency is 5200Hz in my system so that is ok. I built a RCA 245 tube single end amp for 288 and a pair of 6L6/5881 push pull mono block for the woofer.

Mark Driscoll has described himself as "a Charismatic with a seatbelt on" in order to distance himself from the craziness sometimes associated with Charismaticism (I'd probably debate the use of sometimes there). Phil Johnson has a post today that pretty clear shows that Mark seems to be driving sans seatbelt. Phil makes a passing reference to Jack Deere's book in his post and I'd add that Driscoll is advocating here the kind of thing that Deere promoted quite heavily as a word of knowledge with the unique twist of living color TV screens.
I appreciated the fact that Phil extended his concerns to the toleration, almost fascination, of these things by some well known evangelicals. While sympathetic to their desire to see God active and working for His glory in our day, it is a dangerous thing to neglect the warnings in the NT about satanic manipulation. Perhaps he does it somewhere else in the larger video, but Driscoll does not say anything about testing the spirits to see if they are from God (1 John 4:1). The fact that he admits that he isn't always right joined to the presumption that it is Jesus who is telling or showing him these things is alarming. Certainly Jesus is never wrong, so where did the wrong vision come from?
Beyond that, if we even need to go beyond that, if you're wrongly accusing people of molesting their grandkids or of committing adultery, that is a sin against both God and man. You've falsely represented God and you've dropped a bomb on innocent people.
One last word (of a non-prophetic sort), I find it very odd that Driscoll is pinning current spiritual problems on actions that happened to infants of which they have no memory. He seems to draw a causal connection to what happened in his vision and their current struggles, as well as finding the solution in confronting someone based on the vision. I find that odd both for its psychologized view of sancification and that Driscoll has been a keynote speaker for CCEF, an organization that I would think (hope) takes a different view than this. Of course, Driscoll was probably there to draw a crowd, so maybe they weren't concerned about his counseling theory and methods.

OK, so this is not my original recipe, but it is definitely a recipe worth sharing because it is so amazingly simple and versatile. Two ingredients - one beef roast (I used a 4 # roast), and one jar of pepperoncinis, 16 oz., undrained. Put the roast in the crock pot, cover with the pepperoncinis and cook on low for 6-8 hours (the longer the better, to me).
When the roast is done, it makes amazing sandwiches.
- Slice a large onion in half and then slice each half thinly. Toss in a pan with a little oil and sprinkle with a little sugar to caramelize.
- Slice or shred beef and place in hoagie rolls.
- Top beef with cheddar, pepper jack or provolone slices.
- Top all with onions and broil briefly.
You can also put the sliced beef over rice or potatoes with the delicious juice, or slice the meat to use in fajitas or enchiladas. The meat lasts really well in the fridge and freezes well, too, so you can get a lot of mileage for your money.
There are lots of more complicated variations on this recipe, but to me why mess with something that is already great?

Some Michigan Republican officials are questioning why McCain appears to have abandoned the state.
Michigan GOP opposes McCain pullout
By ALEXANDER BURNS
In the aftermath of John McCain's decision to pull out of Michigan, Republicans in the state are expressing shock and bewilderment at his move — and aren't willing to cede the state's 17 electoral votes just yet.
"We're blindsided, along with everybody else in Michigan," said Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson. "I feel like I woke up this morning, and there was a note on my pillow."
"When the general leaves the battlefield when the fight's still going on, it creates a lot of chaos," he said.
Saul Anuzis, the chairman of the state party, sent out a fundraising message Friday morning that called McCain's decision "a tough blow."
"The McCain campaign announced they were shifting resources and staff out of Michigan to other targeted states. Other states 'today' offer a better opportunity for the campaign," Anuzis wrote on his blog, paraphrasing the McCain campaign's explanation. "We do not agree."
Michigan had been seen as one of McCain's top targets among the states Sen. John F. Kerry won in 2004, along with Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and New Hampshire. The Republican now appears resigned to the state's electoral votes — which Kerry claimed by a little more than 3 percentage points and the Real Clear Politics polling average now shows Barack Obama leading by 7 points — going to the Democrat.
Mike Duhaime, the McCain campaign's political director, explained the decision as a necessary tactical choice.
"It's been the worst state of all the states that are in play," he said in a conference call Thursday. "It's the obvious state, in my perspective, to come off the list."
Some Democrats were hesitant to declare victory and viewed McCain's move with suspicion, suggesting sinister motives behind the Arizona senator's very public departure from the state.
"Who announces with such fanfare that they're leaving, other than to let you think that they're gone?" asked Democratic Lt. Gov. John D. Cherry, who predicted that McCain's announcement could be a prelude to a flurry of anti-Obama advertising by independent groups.
"I think the announcement you're reading is an invitation for independent groups to come in and do that sort of thing," Cherry suggested, adding that, for McCain to win the state Republicans, he would have to engage in "some very outrageous stuff."
In September, a group called Freedom's Defense Fund launched a small buy of independent anti-Obama ads in Macomb County, Mich., where working-class "Reagan Democrats" are a powerful voting bloc, that attempted to tie Obama to his former pastor, Jeremiah Wright, and indicted Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. Thus far, though, Michigan has yet to see any statewide or well-funded independent effort aimed at tilting the race against either candidate.
State Rep. Tonya Schuitmaker, the assistant Republican floor leader in the Michigan House of Representatives, said Cherry's theory was not implausible.
"I don't have any knowledge as to whether that will happen or not, but I think that's definitely a possibility," Schuitmaker said, though she explained that she thought McCain's pullout was ''the wrong decision to make."
"Obviously he has to make it based on the financial information and the polling numbers, but I think it might've been a little premature," she said. "He still has a fighting chance here."
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, McCain's running mate, seemed to agree with that assessment Friday, expressing dismay at her own campaign's decision in an interview with Fox News Channel.
"I want to get back to Michigan, and I want to try," she told reporter Carl Cameron. "Todd and I, we'd be happy to get back to Michigan. We'd be so happy to speak to the people there in Michigan who are hurting."
McCain supporter Chuck Yob, a former Republican National Committeeman for Michigan, underscored Palin's sentiments in a public e-mail Friday.
"There will still be a campaign for John McCain in Michigan whether it is sanctioned by the professionals in Washington, D.C., or not," Yob wrote.
As much as some Republicans might want McCain-Palin back in Michigan, McCain's poll numbers have dropped precipitously in recent state polling. And while his campaign's decision to leave the state was abrupt, it was not completely unforeseeable.
Since the crisis on Wall Street began two weeks ago, Obama has steadily widened his advantage over McCain. In a poll taken Sept. 14-17 by the Michigan firm EPIC-MRA, McCain trailed Obama by just 1 point. In a new poll taken from Sept. 20-22, that gap had widened to 10 points.
And in an even more recent survey conducted by the Iowa firm Selzer & Co., Obama led McCain 51 percent to 38 percent.
"Among whites, I still think he is lagging among older white men without a college education, but everyone else, including independent women, [is] moving toward Obama," EPIC-MRA President Bernie Porn.
Porn suggested that shift could largely be explained by the reemergence of economic issues as the central focus of the general election campaign — and McCain's shaky response to developing events on Wall Street.
"As much as it was about any positive messages Obama might have had, I think it also involved miscues on the part of the McCain campaign, inconsistencies, contradictions," he said. "Calling off his campaign and everything, I'm not sure people responded to that the way the McCain campaign expected them to."
Democrat Bill Crouchman, chairman of the Macomb County Commission, agreed that economic issues were driving McCain's numbers down.
"Southeast Michigan has really been in a recession now for about three years," he said. "What the country's feeling now, we've been going through for quite a while, so the economy, around here, is the issue."
"Of course," Crouchman jabbed, "[McCain's] quote that he didn't know much about economics didn't help things for him."
Patterson acknowledged McCain could have had a stronger response to the economic meltdown.
"Maybe he's not as quick on the draw as everyone would want him to be, but Obama's given him many opportunities to respond and knock it out of the park," he said. "I don't know how the hell [the economic crisis] got laid off on Republicans. McCain just wasn't up to the task for some reason."
Though he sounded similarly frustrated in an entry on his blog, Anuzis did his best to buck up Republican spirits, claiming the party would do its best to stay in the game.
"We will have a revised plan in effect by next week and are not conceding an inch to the Obama campaign or any Democrats in Michigan," he wrote. "This is a battleground state, the numbers always tighten up and we will bring the McCain campaign back to Michigan by our own efforts statewide."

Q: Python AttributeError When I type this code into a python shell it works perfectly fine but within a program it gives an error.
import os
h = os.environ['HOME']

within a script it gives this error:
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'environ'

Why is this happening and is there any way I can fix it?
(I'm kinda just learning python so I dont know much. Google didn't help)

A: Somewhere, you've created a string and named it os. The . is the attribute lookup operator, so it's complaining about the thing to the left of the ., in this case, os.

A: are you sure that between import os and  h = os.environ['HOME'] you did not use os as a variable for a string?
edit: If you do not work with an editor with a debugger (e.g. Eclipse with PyDev), try to find out from which point os is no longer a module by calling print(os) at some key points in your code

Having a virtual anchoring system on your boat can help you catch more fish. Period.
After spending an entire day of wreck fishing off the North Carolina coast with the Yamaha Helm Master system, we came to one inescapable conclusion: virtual anchoring makes you a far more effective angler. Casting for stripers in the Chesapeake Bay on a bay boat with an electric bow-mounted Minn Kota that had their Spot-Lock virtual anchoring feature led us to the exact same conclusion. And deep-dropping for tilefish on a boat with pod drives provides exactly the same evidence. Virtual anchoring systems can help you catch more fish – a lot more fish – period.
Being able to hold your boat in position anywhere, anytime, gives anglers a serious leg up on the competition.
We've always had anchors, and anglers have long depended upon them for keeping their boat in position over wrecks, reefs, and drop-offs. But anchors are a PITA to set and haul, they may not hold depending on bottom type and conditions, it's hard to pin-point anchor over a small spot while accounting for scope and swing, and the noise created by handling an anchor can spook fish. Power Poles were a big technological boost over the old flukes and chain, and as we noted in Boat Rigging – Custom Tweaks, the ability to deploy one and hold your boat in place is solid gold. But Power Poles are only good for shallow water. Virtual anchors which incorporate GPS positioning with your power system, are the ultimate answer.
Pressing a button and allowing GPS and the Yamahas to do the station-keeping work was key in pin-point positioning a Grady-White 456 Canyon over just the right spot, to catch this grouper.
Virtual anchoring became possible thanks to electronics system networking, combined with digital steering and control systems. It was made a reality over two decades ago (according to the Institute of Navigation), at first by commercial fishermen who were looking to save time spent anchoring and improve the locational inaccuracies caused by anchor swing. Volvo Penta picked up on the idea early in the process of bringing pod drives into the mainstream in 2005, and just a few years later Minn Kota incorporated their Spot-Lock feature into the i-Pilot electric trolling motor system for both saltwater and freshwater anglers. MotorGuide did the same, with their Pinpoint GPS system. And in more recent years the ability has migrated onto multiple outboard rigs in the form of digital control systems incorporating joysticks, including Yamaha's Helm Master, SeaStar's Optimus, and Mercury's Joystick Piloting.
As GPS accuracy has improved through the years, the abilities of virtual anchoring systems have also improved. Assuming you're equipped with a modern system and your GPS antenna isn't blocked, you can normally expect position accuracy within 10-feet – a variance that a good strong cast can certainly make up for.
And pin-point positioning doesn't end with pressing a button and sitting in the exact same spot. These systems also allow you to press an arrow or tap a joystick, to move 10 or 20-feet in a chosen direction. You can stop your boat over the stern of a 100-foot-long, 25-foot-wide wreck laying 100-feet down, and then slowly zig-zag your way up to the bow dropping baits along the way until you find not just the wreck but the very best spot on the wreck to fish.
Try that with an anchor and rode.
Different portions of a wreck or reef can hold varying concentrations of fish, and "jog" features in these systems allow you to micro-adjust your positioning until you're right on top of the hotspot.
Although all the systems we've mentioned above make virtual anchoring a piece of cake, your own personal options for utilizing them may be relatively limited. If you have a straight-inboard boat, for example, you can't exactly swap those shafts out for pod drives. Outboard rigs require two or more motors with digital controls, and if your boat has a mechanical system, it will take a significant (read: costly) upgrade to get virtual anchoring. Most existing digital outboard joystick systems installed prior to the development of these functions can, however, be upgraded at a relatively reasonable cost. (We can't nail down a number here, because the individual nature of twin and triple engine rigs can cause quite a bit of variation).
This 27 Judge seems like an absurdly big boat to depend on a bow-mounted electric trolling motor, but a 36-volt Minn Kota Riptide Ulterra, with 112-pounds of thrust and a 72-inch shaft, has no problem getting the job done. Photo courtesy of Capt. Pete Dahlberg.
The widest application for virtual anchoring comes with bow-mounted electric trolling motors. Most fishing boats under 28 or so feet in length can be rigged with them (though some modifications at the bow may be necessary), and modern systems can be shockingly strong and capable when it comes to holding relatively large boats in a bow or current.
Naturally, when it comes to boats there is no panacea – everything has a down-side. But when it comes to virtual anchoring abilities, the biggest down-side is that one the unavoidable issue we all grapple with whenever we start talking about our boats: cost. Depending on the nature of the boat you own and the system you want, getting virtual anchoring ability could cost you anywhere from a couple grand to tens of thousands of dollars.
Add to that the limitations to upgrading that we've already talked about, along with added weight in the case of a bow-mounted electric system. Remember, those 36-volt systems require three deep-cycle batteries, which means you'll forever be hauling around about as much weight as an additional passenger. And when you're dealing with a system that relies on digital controls and a joystick, you might also consider the fact that as any system gets more and more complex, there's additional potential for issues to arise – and when they do, repair bills tend to be higher.
The author enjoys the benefit of being Spot-Locked in place an ideal casting distance from the pier this snook was hiding under.
Is the benefit worth the cost? That's up to you to decide. But having fished on boats equipped with virtual anchors everywhere from Minnesota to Miami, for everything from smallmouth bass to snook, we've got to say that this ability will absolutely, positively help you catch more fish. Period.

Our International Approach
UK REMAINS MOST-EXPENSIVE EUROPEAN COUNTRY FOR BUSINESS SPACE
Home / Insights / UK REMAINS MOST-EXPENSIVE EUROPEAN COUNTRY FOR BUSINESS SPACE
The UK remains the most-expensive European country for occupiers of prime business space – with rents at €1,332 per sq m for offices and €182 per sq m for industrial space – according to the latest Euro Cities research from Gerald Eve.
The research – launched today at MIPIM, and drawing on the data of the 20 European members of Gerald Eve's international alliance – reveals that prime UK office yields are currently at 3.5%, and 3.5% for industrial. Only France and Germany have lower prime office yields, with both at 3%, and no European country is recording industrial yields at the lows seen in the UK.
But while the UK has been at the vanguard of revolutions in online retail and flexible workspace, the potential growth for such sectors in Europe could see a narrowing of the affordability gap as take-up rises in line with demand across the continent.
Patricia LeMarechal, partner at Gerald Eve, said: "There has been growth in the online retail sector – to the detriment of physical stores – across Europe, and this has fed into growth of industrial and logistics markets, especially 'last mile' locations close to urban centres. Similarly, the growth of serviced offices has been one of the main drivers of office take-up over the past year.
"But while these trends are common to most countries, the UK has been ahead of the curve in embracing these new ways of working and shopping, and this is reflected in the prices being commanded for property in these sectors, both from an occupational and investment perspective. This means there are opportunities in continental Europe as these trends continue, but also in the UK where such markets are arguably more resilient."
The weak growth seen in the European economy – embodied by Germany, which came close to falling into recession in the second half of 2018 – has kept a lid on rents across the continent. Prime office rents in nearly every country are less than 50% of those seen in the UK, with only France (€780 per sq m) and Ireland (€700) above the threshold.
A similar picture appears for prime industrial property, with only Norway (€127 per sq m) joining the UK above €100. Countries including Portugal (€45 per sq m), France (€46) and Slovakia (€48) have prime industrial rents that are only around a quarter of that seen in the UK.
Patricia LeMarechal continued: "In contrast to 2017, when improving economic performances across Europe saw upward pressure on office and industrial rents, the overall picture last year was one of sluggish activity and rents and yields at a standstill. This is, in part, due to the political uncertainty that has defined the year, but also suggests property markets where supply and demand are broadly in sync. In addition, it shows that, while Brexit is undoubtedly having an effect, relocations due to the UK's imminent departure from the EU are lower than predicted.
"The ongoing strength of the UK – both in terms of headline rents that are way ahead of those seen elsewhere, and prime yields that remain at historically low levels – is indicative of the fundamental strengths of the economy and investor confidence in its ability to ride any Brexit-related uncertainty or disruption. The apparent mismatch between supply and demand also suggests a lack of the development exuberance that characterised previous cycles, and leaves the UK less exposed to changing occupational requirements.
"What the research also highlights is the need for genuine on-the-ground insight. The report shows that a rent or yield that is cheap in one market would be considered expensive in another. The value of Gerald Eve's international alliance can bee seen in both this research and the advice that clients have access to through these partnerships."

Mike O'Shea impressed by Toronto's defence, happy for former teammate Glen Young
By John Hodge
Photo courtesy: Scott Grant/CFLPhotoArchive.com
The Toronto Argonauts were arguably the CFL's most impressive team of Week 1, beating the Calgary Stampeders by a score of 23-20 at McMahon Stadium. Winnipeg Blue Bombers' head coach Mike O'Shea has watched the film of the upset and gave Toronto's defence a glowing review.
"They looked good. They obviously went out and signed a bunch of veteran players. I don't know what the exact number is but if you look at how many guys are left on that defence from 2019, it's not many. They've gone through some wholesale change and brought in veteran guys," said O'Shea in a videoconference.
"They brought in leaders in those areas. You know me, that's kind of our recipe. I like to keep our veterans and I like the veteran leadership, so that's probably a good start for them."
Toronto held Calgary's offence to 353 yards on Saturday and limited running back Ka'Deem Carey to 4.2 yards per carry. Veteran defensive back Shaquille Richardson intercepted two-time CFL MOP Bo Levi Mitchell in the final minute of the game to seal the victory.
The unit is coached by Glen Young, who spent the past four seasons as a defensive assistant with the Blue Bombers.
"I'm excited for Glen," said O'Shea. "I'm glad he got the opportunity he got but in terms of anything more than that, we're pretty well focused in this building on what our task is at hand. Besides the pleasantries and a laugh before the game and maybe a handshake after, it's pretty well business."
O'Shea and Young were teammates with the Toronto Argonauts for two seasons (1998-99) and are both natives of Ontario — the former is from North Bay, while the latter is from Scarborough.
Young was hired as Winnipeg's linebackers coach in 2016 after having served as the defensive coordinator and assistant head coach at College at Brockport, State University of New York. A number of young players flourished under his guidance including Khalil Bass, Kyle Knox, and Jovan Santos-Knox.
The Syracuse product added the role of defensive line coach in his third season in Winnipeg and the defence continued to improve, finishing tied for first in sacks in 2018 and first in rushing yards allowed in 2019.
With the Argos scheduled for a date in Winnipeg on Friday, quarterback Zach Collaros knows the Blue Bombers have to be ready to face Toronto's new-look defence.
"We have to be able to react and adapt to whatever they do come Friday," said Collaros. "It's going to be a challenge for us — they played really well against Calgary. They're physical upfront, they get to the passer. On the backend, they do a great job of route-reading. They're just a very talented group."

What to do in Barcelona today, Wednesday, January 13, 2021
One of the most original cycles that the Film Library of Catalonia is For the love of the arts. In it they program films that are related to some of the premieres or events organized by other institutions in the city or in Catalonia and which are an ideal complement to complete the vision of a work or an artist. All of them are presented by an expert who will help us relate them. For this quarter they have prepared a lot of very attractive surprises for us.
Opera, literature, poetry and dance
We start today with The tales of Hoffmann (1951), by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, the British masters of color, taking advantage of the fact that the Gran Teatre del Liceu programs the opera signed by Jacques Offenbach on which they were inspired. The film, starring Moira Shearer (The red sneakers), bill the three love stories that the protagonist lived. The following title, in collaboration with the Libraries of Catalonia, aims to encourage a passion for reading. Is about The bookstore (2017, Tuesday 18 and Thursday 21), by Isabel Coixet, with Emily Mortimer leading the cast. It narrates the efforts of a woman who intends to open an establishment of this type in a small coastal town in the face of opposition from some neighbors.
The work of the Portuguese director Rita Azevedo will be analyzed based on Correspondences (2016, Tuesday 26 and Saturday 30). Between reality and fiction, the filmmaker follows in the footsteps of the poet Jorge de Sena, who had to go into exile from his country and his correspondence with the writer Sophia de Mello Breyner Andersen, with the dictatorship as a backdrop. The month of February will start with Out of scene (2016, Tuesday 2), a documentary that follows, over four years, the activities of The Contemporary Dance Company of Cuba, one of the referents of this discipline in Havana. As is logical, it is projected in collaboration with the Mercat de les Flors.
Bach, Tennessee Williams y Bergman
The Palau de la Música commemorates February 27 and 28, the centenary of the first interpretation of The Passion according to Saint Matthew, by Bach, by the Orféo Català. To celebrate it, on the 7th of that month, the Filmoteca will screen Chronicle of Anna Magdalena Bach (1968), a documentary work by Danièle Huillet and Jean-Marie Straub that is a biography of Bach based on documents, the narration of his wife's diary and her music, with interpreters in period clothes. That same month, the Teatre Nacional de Catalunya presents the classic The night of the iguana de Tennessee Williams. As perhaps it would be too obvious to schedule the John Huston film, they have opted for another film by this playwright, The fugitive kind (1960, Tuesday 16), released as Snake skin, from his work The fall of Orpheus. Marlon Brando plays a wandering musician who decides to settle in a Mississippi town where he becomes the lover of a mature woman (Anna Magnani) while a young alcoholic (Joanne Woodward) falls in love with him.
La newsletter de On Barcelona
They say that if you activate this newsletter in front of a mirror at midnight, Pocholo appears and takes you to a party. Ana Sánchez reveals to you every week the most original plans in Barcelona.
The cycle also includes an original experience, the audiovisual concert by Alba G. Corral, Perspectives (Tuesday, February 23). In it, this visual artist will give life to the graphic of the Palau catalog which will be illustrated with the music that she herself has written under the stage name Namba. It will also pay tribute to the women who have participated in this institution throughout its history such as the French-Polish harpsichord and pianist Wanda Landowska. In March it will continue on day 2 with Infidels (Infiel), directed by Liv Ullman in 2000. It is the story of the infidelities between an actress (Lena Endre) and a conductor based on an autobiographical script by Ingmar Bergman, so it is not surprising that the artist is represented by Erland Josephson, the other fetish actor of the Swedish filmmaker. In collaboration with the Institució de les Lletres Catalanes.
Tribute to Robert Gerhard
The Auditori intends to pay tribute to Tarragona composer Robert Gerhard, when he was 125 years old, with Secret people (1952, Tuesday March 9), his first film soundtrack and featuring a first-time Audrey Hepburn. She takes care of two sisters who flee their native country and take refuge in London after their father has been assassinated by a dictator. Years later, in Paris, they meet a man who wants to kill the tyrant. The retrospective will follow with The naive savage (1963, Tuesday 16), whose music was also composed by Gerhard. Is a classic of free cinema British signed by Lindsay Anderson with Richard Harris and Glenda Jackson. The protagonist is a conceited rugby star from a humble mining town whose attitude changes when he falls in love with his landlady, a widowed woman.
On the 23rd of that month they will recover four short films by Laya Films (1937-1938), the Generalitat film production company that used its newscasts and documentaries to fight against fascism during the Spanish civil war: Spain up to date, Els ollaires de Breda, Blood transfusions and Catalonia martyr. This session is held on the occasion of the exhibition on the photographer Antoni Campañà at the MNAC. And, to end the month, in collaboration with the Teatre Lliure, we will be able to see The wild boys (2017, Tuesday 30), drama queer and transgender on youth bewilderment. She takes care of five boys from a good family who, at the beginning of the 20th century, rape and kill their teacher and are locked in a boat. They riot and manage to reach a mysterious island full of hidden pleasures and where their lives will change. Three months to discover art in its different forms … and love it

Home »Uncategorized»How crime novelists don't get women
"All Tomorrow's Bodies," EVE Online illustration
(This post is not about my personal problems. At least, not anymore than normal.)
What I write for work is basically crime fiction. If you look at the places I've been given free reign with the Vampire property, you'll see that my influences are movies like Go, Brick, and The Godfather.
At one point early in my career, Will Hindmarch told me to "Be Fucking Mamet." Which I interpreted as "American Buffalo."1 When I developed the EVE: EXILED storytelling game, my characters were criminals whose trust, and lack thereof, was a key mechanical force in the game.2
Daeva: Kiss of the Succubus
All of that's by way of saying that for, basically, a supernatural romance author, I have a long background with crime. I also have a long background with writing about women. You can't write a book called Kiss of the Succubus and not.
Which was why I was interested in seeing best-selling thriller writer Christopher Rice write "Why Crime Novelists Don't Get Women."
Really, it's more of a "how crime novelists don't get women." Rice outlines four archetypes he's really tired of. I thought I'd share my own impressions of them.
The Cop's Wife Who Just Doesn't Get It
You know, the ultimate cop's wife is Mrs. Columbo. She's clearly a real presence in his mind, but you never see her.3 If you didn't actually watch any Columbo movies, you'd get the impression that she represents the silent female.
But she doesn't. Mrs. Columbo is a real character… a meta-character, actually, because she's a character Columbo tells stories about. The relationship between Columbo and Mrs. Columbo is an important part of the narrative even though we only see one side of it, via an unreliable narrator.
I like to imagine, by the way, that if the Mrs. Columbo franchise had taken off, we'd have seen dueling narratives between Kate, talking about "Mr. Columbo," and her husband, and, as viewers, had to guess where the truth lay between them.
The Babe Assassin
Yes, White Wolf has like three of her
By all rights, I should love this character. Put simple, I love it when pretty girls do violence. It's because of trauma in my youth. The problem with the babe assassin4 is that she's generally written as if she's some sort of exotic animal the writer only read about in a 19th century children's book.
She has no weight, no texture, no smell. Her clothing says nothing about her. If she's hurt physically, it's in a way few of us can relate to, like a gunshot wound. As Rice points out, she usually has epic sexual trauma in her past, but it's rarely relayed convincingly.
Violence is, I believe, traumatic. I've been the victim of it and it's no fun at all. Inflicting it is something I frequently have to write about and so have researched in some detail. The problem with the babe assassin is that violence doesn't affect her. She doesn't have the right traumas or the right callouses.
Let's be clear, here, I'm not talking about realism, exactly, I'm talking about continuity. There's no way that a person puts a man's hand in a garbage disposal, eats dinner at a five-star restaurant two hours later, and doesn't have some kind of internal life worth writing about going on.
The babe assassin has the same problem with her actions and her breasts: they both lack gravity.
The Ice Queen Bureaucrat
Oh, Servalan. You warped me.
Bureaucrats in crime stories are horribly mistreated. They're either hard-assed yet compassionate, which is at least a personality, or they're Vulcans. Rice is talking about the Vulcan type. Pressed shirts, pencil skirts, need every "i" dotted and every "t" crossed. Usually, about as close as they get to a personality is that they have "something to prove," usually that they can do that something "as well as any man."
Say what you will about the babe assassin, but she rarely quotes "Annie Get Your Gun." The problem with the ice queen bureaucrat is that it's usually impossible to imagine how she does her job as well as any man, because she lacks any of the abilities of the people under her command and any of the personal charm or team spirit you actually need to advance as a bureaucrat.
She should at least be plausible as an example of The Peter Principle, but she isn't.
The best example of a positive spin on this character is Jacqueline Pearce's Servalan from Blake's 7, and she's from entirely the wrong genre. Servalan's icy and bureaucratic, yes, but you can see how it works for her as a management style. She actually does pretty well managing Travis and the other egos under her command, while maintaining political relationships appropriate to her position.
The Lesbian Cop
Well… uh… Maggie Sawyer. That's all I really got here. Sawyer is a recurring character in the Superman comics. John Byrne may be John Byrne crazy, but it's interesting that he created two of the least offensive homosexual characters in comics. While the Batman franchise has half a dozen interesting police characters, Superman's only got one and a half.
None of my favorite books have lady cops who are overtly lesbian in the way that gentleman cops are overtly straight. Which is part of Rice's point, I think, but it also leaves me with relatively little to talk about.
The most notable thing I remember about lesbians from a crime novel is that ones in The Black Dahlia are kinda like vampires.5
The shy hyper-specialist, pictured here for Chuck Wendig
Rice misses a few of my "favorites," though I'm sure that's more his word limit kicking in than a lack of insight. A few more to avoid or carefully reconsider:
Dashiell Hammet made the secretary kind of mandatory, to the point that it's become a multi-gendered archetype. At the risk of short-changing a rich character, Archie Goodwin is Nero Wolfe's secretary, and perhaps with all the slash that implies.
The kind prostitute is related to the hooker with a heart of gold, the main difference being that she probably doesn't want to sleep with the lead. (Possible she will, anyway.) She'll listen to your troubles, but she's got her own problems here on the streets. She acts mysteriously like the social worker, another archetype. Yeah, she'll call you if she hears anything. (Which she will.)
The shy hyper-specialist would rather be down in the lab than out on a date, which is good, because she's the best at what she does and what she does usually involves fragments of human tissue or psyche that the rest of us would rather see intact. Nonetheless, her attractiveness will be noted in passing.
Of all of these, she's the most likely to get her own series of books.
Which, if you notice, is also "The Pardoner's Tale" and Treasure of the Sierra Madre. ↩
Hjalti Danielsson, who was the project's muse, wrote a very good piece based on the EVE RPG before its cancellation. ↩
Except in her own movie, the only evidence that Columbo isn't entirely making her up. ↩
Or her roleplaying sister, the Lesbian Stripper Ninja. ↩
The movie makes this more overt, and for all its flaws, actually has a lot to offer vampire storytelling. ↩

Sigh, now I want to read (I rarely get around to playing most RPG's that cross my path) the EVE RPG. The potential is there for much goodness 😀
It was basically about trust, guns, and immortality. That I'd written about the same subjects before* was part of what landed me the gig.
These are things that EVE Online is also about, but on an entirely different scale.
Most of the rules of EXILED, though, are finding their way into other White Wolf products. There were some in Armory: Reloaded, I think there will be some in Mirrors, and depending on a couple of things some stuff may be in The Danse Macabre.
The fictional content will live on in EVE Online and DUST 514.
* Not as much the guns, which much of my writing ignores and the rest treats as a kind of very loud magic that hurts people and causes tears.
For the Babe Assassin, see also Strong versus 'strong' female characters.
Garth Ennis brought a Lesbian Cop (complete with the same subglasses…) into The Punisher, and only played her for laughs in her second storyline.
I think I'd have to ask somebody else if I've ever written a strong female character. I've certainly never written a good role model.
I should note that Abby from NCIS is not a shy hyper-specialist. She's gregarious and outgoing, and the show often hints at a rather adventurous sexual life.
I dunno how that fits into any of this, but there you have it.
— c.
not stricly a crime novel character, but fits the Babe Assassin archetype well (IMO anyway) is one of my own creation: http://keithneilson.co.uk/platoon-xiii-v-bladeghost/
Interestingly, the Black Jack Justice shows from Decoder Ring Theatre actually plays with the female relationship in the traditional hardboiled detective story quite well. And there's even a Sam Spade pastiche where they completely switch roles. Although the show is becoming increasingly less hard-boiled, it's still a great audio drama.

I think I've written some of these. Although El from White Collar is notable for being a cop's wife who does get it, and often wants to play along.
Also PERHAPS Nero/Archie is slashy? There is no perhaps there.
Also I think I owe you a phone call. BRB.
@Eddy
Even more reason I need to start following those.
@Hope
I think we've all written some of them. I very deliberately commissioned a Babe Assassin story ("Black Blood" in Daeva, by Benjamin Baugh).
Nero and Archie basically have a marriage disguised as an employment arrangement. It's one of those times when writing the sex scene would almost seem to make it less slashy. I'm particularly thinking of the A&E adaptations here.

Musical Variations
Speaking of original ideas for films, here's something I can really appreciate. Much like the Blair Witch Project, this story is completely concocted with the intention of deceiving the public. A few of you may have heard this, and if not, you may have heard some of the songs. They (Hollywoodish people) invented a character named Chris Gaines who is supposed to have been a pop singer from the early 80s up through a few years ago. They got Garth Brooks to sing a whole bunch of songs that this guy was going to have allegedly written and recorded. They varied the tone of the song to sound like the time period in which it was supposed to have been recorded and varied the subject matter to match up with what they are going to say was happening in his life at the time. "They" are planning on releasing a bunch of songs out on the radio scattered around throughout the next year and hopefully, the public will start to get a rapport with this fellow. Maybe they'll get the DJs to play up his character and tell stories about him or something. About a year from now, they're going to start making a movie which is going to basically be an autobiography of this Chris Gaines character. Personally, I love the idea. I can't think of anything that was done this creatively in a long time that spanned the medias like this. I just hope they don't fuck it up, which is always a possibility…

Arguably Bali's best and most prestigious occasion on a busy social calendar – The Bali Ball returns on Saturday, October 6, 2018, at the Alila Resort Seminyak.
Since its inception, The Bali Ball has raised billions of rupiahs for some of Bali's most worthwhile community projects.
The theme for the 2018 event is "A Night on Broadway" and will feature a evening of exciting cabaret entertainment, auctions, and raffle prizes.
Cocktails will be served from 6:30 pm with the gala dinner and entertainment starting at 7:15 pm.
As in the past, expect an elegant affair with a dress code of black-tie or batik for the gentlemen and evening gowns or kebayas for the ladies.
This event typically sells out quickly. Invitations are available at a cost of Rp. 2.75 million per person and covers all the festivities, drinks and gala dinner.
Tickets are available at Jemme, Alila Resort Seminyak or the Bali Children's Foundation.
