you compare them with maryland as a snapshot. so interestingly, maryland has a very, very diverse skilled nursing and rehab community. about 233 centers, everything from genesis health care which is the largest provider in the united states, which has almost 40 centers in maryland, down to second, third generation women owned center. what's interesting in maryland is the number one largest center in terms of number of beds and number of days serve in all of maryland is the community just a little down the road here in montgomery county. and it's a not for profit that operates and sustains itself as running as a for profit in terms of its business enterprise. and the number two largest skilled nursing and rehab center in maryland is still ameris in towson. a nonfor profit owned by the sisters of mercy. what's the case in maryland with regard to skilled nursing rehab centers, it's a very diverse group of providers. what you'll find is whether they are for profit or non-profit, that the -- they really are a safety net for folks on m

at 7:52, the "uss maryland" sounded general quarters. and shortly thereafter, the "maryland" records that the "oklahoma" which is the ship right next to it, was hit by an unknown number of torpedoes. they arranged the deck logs in four-hour time chunks. so the first time chunk, it's 0400 to 0800. the next time chunk is where the main attack itself is located. so the 0800 to 1200 chunk. so i mentioned here, the commanding officer is restored. commence getting up steam to try to get under way. at 8:05 they open fire with one one-inch battery and the 50 caliber machine gun. they are trying as hard as they could to get into the attack, but as it was a surprise attack it took them a little bit of time. at 8:10, the "uss oklahoma" listed the port until lying on starboard side with keel showing. took steering and engine control. 8:38, stood by all lines. 8:39, all ready boxes refill. ready boxes at this time were the boxes that they put on the ammunition in. this was considered the ready ammunition they could use for all the various weapons the

i give you an example of that in maryland. we have a cently center that was amongst the best feder and by state and rating systems. harm, low ved 26 no level deficiencies in their inspection. 26 of them. four of the deficiencies were for a single malfunctioning wheelchair. of that survey, that center went from a five star and r to a one star center it's now a two star center. it's amongst the best in maryland. so, again, the survey can be valuable and it can be powerful. interesting, if i'm a consumer, i think the survey is i just r the reasons said, but, again, it can go ither way based on the results of one consumer. the self-reported data with to quality or staffing, staffing is a little bit less of c.m.s. is w that requiring payroll journalling actualhey have to report payroll data. if i'm a consumer or hospital partner, i want to have survey data. to have payroll data and i want to have quality data. the value of the quality data payroll data is that unlike the survey, it's not by one consumer experience. entire ulative f

maryland does. maryland has much higher standards in terms of staffing and the federal minimum. in terms of physicians, i think there is a trend across the country. i have been very fortunate enough to visit skilled nursing homes across the country. i think there is a trend to hire an employee of their own physicians. genes genesis health care has 500 directly employed physicians. future care, of maryland has their own directly hired physicians. i think there is also a trend o hire at a minimum level, rns and more nurse practitioners. that's a trend as well. one last point on staffing. there needs to be a federal push and a marketplace push. the reality is that in maryland now, because we have such a competitive environment, maybe it can be a snapshot for the rest of the country, the marketplace is demanding more rns and more nurse practitioners. again, your hospital might prefer to partner with me if i'm direct directly employing nurse practitioners. >> another reason that nursing homes might start having more registered nurses or nurse practitioners is that there is tremendous

i want to rise today to thank the people of maryland. i want to rise to thank them for their vote of confidence. you know, when people vote for you, it's not only that they're sending you to washington or sending you to city hall, they're giving you a vote of confidence that you will be their voice, that you will be their vote, that you will be at their side and on their side. and that's what i want to be able to talk about today. for the people of baltimore who gave me my first shot in running for the baltimore city council, when i beat the political bosses, when running for political office as a woman was considered a novelty, they said, you don't look the part. i said, this is what the part looks like. and this is what the part is going to be like. and along the way, you know, so many people helped me. behind me is a whole lot of "w "we." i got started in public life because of volunteers and activists, who on their own time and their own dime, volunteered their -- themselves to not only help me get elected but to be involved in their

at 7:52, the uss maryland sounded general quarters, and shortly after the maryland records that the oklahoma, the ship next to it, was hit by an unknown number of torpedoes. now the notable thing about the deck log for the uss maryland is, at the time, it appears that a lot of the radio transmissions went to the uss maryland, meaning a lot of the radio transmissions were recorded in the deck log itself. and what that ultimately means is a lot of the confusion that was occurring at the time of the attack, meaning there was no idea where the japanese were at the time are what they're going to do next, lends itself to the deck logs. for instance, at 12:01 a.m. troops reported landing and enemy takers were reported four miles off the coast of ohahu. as most people know, that was not the case, but at the time they were not sure if the attack was part of something bigger. if they were going to launch an invasion to knock out the naval base. we now know that was not the case. another entry of note was at 11:43 a.m., the further continuation of confusion, the maryland writes that enemy troops wearin
