POT KETTLE BLACK: the times they are a changin’

I bet you think we didn’t know

Didn’t even see the tides change

But it’s a small, small world, girl

Getting even smaller every day

I bet you think we didn’t know

Didn’t even see the tides change

But it’s a small, small world, girl

Getting even smaller every day

You can fake that smile for a while

But the kids all learn

Once those bridges burn

The trash washes up to shore

Even in this landlocked place

The shit gets thicker, it’s toxic

Get it out of my face…

 

eBeeper: FedEx tracking for ER doctors

When a patient is asked to get an X-ray or blood work-up, the patient is directed to the appropriate facility within the hospital. However, the emergency physician does not know when the X-ray images or lab results are ready for review.  This means physicians must periodically log-in and check for patient results, often wasting valuable time and leaving patients waiting.  eBeeper solves this problem, with realtime physician notifications.

6.Partnerships with retail giants like CVS or Walgreens may help health systems gain access to capital for technology and systems

7.Other retailers like Target and Wal-Mart are also getting into the clinic business, although Wal-Mart has shifted its business model to lease space to healthcare providers instead of operating the clinics itself

MONSTERMAN: DEVO

Oh, those Kim Jong-un’s of the world!

Say goodbye to everything you know
Say hello to what a man can know
(Monsterman)
(Monsterman)

This his one and only dream
It’s all obscene
to Monsterman
(Man man man man man man man man) (Huh!) (…man)
(Huh! …Huh …Huh …Huh)

(Huh!)
The man’s a monster (Huh!)
a beast on the run (Huh!)
He’s a virus you can’t stop with a gun (Huh!)

Lewd implant from a mind insane
Now springs from the House of Pain

[guitar solo]

There is no
Zombie in the closet

There is no
Thing
underneath the bed

There’s no alien abduction

The monster’s in your head

Say what you want
say what you will

Said and done
the threat is still
(Monsterman)
(Monsterman)

They say beauty’s in the eye
of the beholder so don’t try
to understand him

Everyday is Halloween
It’s all obscene
to Monsterman
(Man man man man man man man man)

(Huh!)
(Huh!)
(Huh!)
(Huh!)
