  1. Harris Health issues correction plans after patient deaths, federal reviews https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2019/12/13/harris-health-issues-correction-plans-after.html Following multiple patient deaths and federal reviews, Harris Health System issued its plans for correction Dec. 13. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services completed its survey of Harris Health System — the county's safety-net health care system — on Sept. 27, according to the CMS Statement of Deficiencies report. The survey found that Harris Health was out of compliance with CMS standards in patient rights; quality assurance and performance improvement; nursing services; laboratory services; and rehabilitation services, among other deficiencies. The CMS reviews and a review by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) were prompted by patient deaths caused by medical errors. In April, an ER patient died in a bathroom at Ben Taub Hospital after hospital staff lost track of him. A second emergency department patient died at Ben Taub in July. On Sept. 12, a maternal death occurred at Lyndon B. Johnson Hospital after a caesarian section, according to the CMS report. Among the deficiencies identified by the CMS, it found that from the time of the laboring mother's arrival at the hospital, admission, treatment and arrival at the operating room, there was no blood pressure or temperature documented by hospital staff. There was also no type of consultation with other providers to identify a cause of the patient's persistently fast heart rate. Harris Health initiated a number of changes in the several areas surveyed by the CMS, which are summarized below. Harris Health also made available online the full CMS Statement of Deficiencies report, its full plans for correction and its summary of those plans. Harris Health isn't the only hospital system in Houston to go through federal reviews after patient deaths in recent months. The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center and Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center also faced CMS reviews in the past year or so caused by medical mistakes.

  4. That's the transit center on Westpark. I've heard the upper floors are parking but I'm not sure if that's accurate.

  6. Hines Announces Stabilization of Phase I of Boulevard Oaks Business Park and Start of Second Phase. https://www.hines.com/news/hines-announces-stabilization-of-phase-i-of-boulevard-oaks-business-park-and-start-of-second-phase (HOUSTON) — Hines, the international real estate firm, today announced the completion and stabilization of the 450,000-square-foot first phase of Boulevard Oaks Business Park, and the start of construction on the second phase—which will be comprised of six additional buildings totaling approximately 1.15 million square feet. At buildout, Boulevard Oaks Business Park will consist of 10 Class A industrial buildings totaling approximately 1.6 million square feet of floor area on 120 acres of land. Boulevard Oaks Business Park is the premier corporate logistics park in southwest Houston, located just north of Beltway 8 along West Fuqua Street. The business park lines both sides of West Fuqua Street, a tree-lined, four-lane divided thoroughfare with direct access to a full interchange on Beltway 8; creating an insulated, unique environment in an extremely accessible location. The four-building first phase of the park is currently 95% occupied by eight tenants, with one block of rear-load space remaining, totaling 25,000 square feet. Phase II will consist of six additional buildings—three rear-load facilities between 110,000 and 160,000 square feet, two front-load facilities between 105,000 and 125,000 rentable square feet, and one cross-dock facility totaling 530,000 square feet. The anticipated completion date for the second phase of the project is the third quarter of 2020. Hines Director, Laura Denkler, stated, “We are especially proud of the look and feel within the business park that we are creating at Boulevard Oaks, and have received an incredibly positive response from the market for our efforts. To achieve more than 90% lease up on the first phase at the time of substantial completion of the project is a testament to the location, access, and building quality within the park.” Boulevard Oaks is exclusively represented for leasing by Jim Foreman and Allison Bergmann of Cushman & Wakefield. Burton Construction is the general contractor, and Powers Brown is the architect of record.
  7. I'd like to learn how to cook more. Expand my abilities. Believe it's mostly trial and error right? The more hands-on cooking, the better you'll become. What about spices and such? Going to Central Market and buying gourmet spices can really add up. Maybe start off with basic spices as I'm not a chef
