HIPAA Compliance
Recent HIPAA Actions Underscore Importance of Timely Compliance
Whether you represent a health care organization or a business that supports them, the compliance challenges within the health care sector are an everyday reality. The Office of Civil Rights (OCR), the federal agency responsible for the oversight and enforcement of HIPAA, recently released press bulletins highlighting OCR's commitment to requiring timely compliance with HIPAA regulations. As the cases summarized below demonstrate, covered entities should act quickly and with strict adherence to the HIPAA regulations to avoid any penalties related to untimely compliance.
Presence Health
On January 9, 2017, OCR announced the first ever HIPAA settlement for untimely breach notification. Pursuant to 45 CFR § 164.404, covered entities experiencing a breach of protected health information (PHI) must notify the affected individual(s) "without unreasonable delay and in no case later than 60 calendar days after the discovery of the breach." For breaches involving more than 500 individuals, the covered entity must also notify the media and OCR of the breach within the 60 day time period.1
On October 22, 2013, Presence Health discovered the paper operating room schedules of 836 surgical patients were missing. Presence Health did not notify OCR of the breach until January 31, 2014, more than a year after the discovery of the breach. Following an investigation, OCR concluded that Presence Health not only failed to timely notify OCR, but also failed to meet the 60 day notification requirement with respect to the affected individuals or the media. Presence Health agreed to pay $475,000 in settlement.
MAPFRE Life Insurance Company of Puerto Rico
On January 18, 2017, OCR announced a settlement with MAPFRE Life Insurance Company of Puerto Rico. MAPFRE notified OCR on September 29, 2011, of a breach involving theft of an unencrypted USB data storage device containing the PHI of 2,209 individuals.
OCR's investigation revealed that MAPFRE did not utilize encryption or other comparable security measures for its laptops and removable storage devices until September 2014, nearly three years following the breach. OCR further found that "MAPFRE also failed to implement or delayed implementing other corrective measures it informed OCR it would undertake."2 MAPFRE paid $2.2 million in penalties to settle the alleged violations.
Children's Medical Center of Dallas
On February 1, 2017, OCR announced that it assessed penalties against Children's Medical Center of Dallas in the amount of $3.2 million for two separate breaches occurring in 2009 and 2013, both of which related to unencrypted electronic devices that were lost or stolen. Together the two breaches affected over 6,000 patients.
OCR's investigation found, among other things, that Children's Medical Center of Dallas failed to implement encryption or other comparable security measures for laptops or other removable devices until April 9, 2013. In connection with this finding, OCR issued a Notice of Proposed Determination that assessed $3.2 million in penalties. Under 45 CFR §164.420, OCR must notify the covered entity that it has 90 days to respond to the Notice of Determination and request a hearing. Children's Medical Center of Dallas failed to respond or request a hearing within the 90 day time period; thus, OCR assessed the full amount of the proposed civil money penalty with no right to appeal.
* * *
Based upon OCR's 2017 actions to date, it appears that OCR intends to strictly enforce the time requirements set forth in the HIPAA regulations. If a breach occurs, providers must take care to ensure timely compliance with all HIPAA requirements, including breach notification, implementation of corrective action, and responding to OCR. Failure to do so may result in costly penalties for your organization.

One of a number of the No Direction Studios founders, Adam, has provided App Apes with some interesting information concerning himself, the No direction Studios company as a whole, as well as facts about the IOS app 2-Bit Heroes, future plans for the direction of his company, and even some informative tips for other game developers.
Adam has been playing games since the popularization of the Atari 2600 console, which was released by Atari, Inc in September of 1977, and is credited with spearheading the gaming industry's exploration of both microprocessor-based hardware and ROM cartridges that contain game code. A little more than two years later, by December of 1979, the Atari 2600 had become the best-selling console, totally more than a 1 million units sold. In January of the following year, the sales of the console had doubled. Originally sold as the Atari VCS (Video Computer System) it was renamed in 1982 following the release of the Atari 5200, so for 32 to 37 years, Adam has been partaking in the fruits of the video gaming industry. Other than this, he has been casually tinkering with programming tools since first using a friend's Timex Sinclair 1000 (TS1000), which is the first CPU created by the joint-venture of the Timex Corporation and Sinclair Research, Timex Sinclair, in an attempt to establish themselves as a player in the emergent market of North American home computers in the early 1980's. The Timex Sinclair 1000 was launched in July of 1982. Adam used the Timex Sinclair 1000 to code a simple game and store it on a cassette tape. He has learned through experience alone, holding a long time interest in computers, and does not have any formal computer programming education. He does however hold a degree in Architectural Technology, which no doubt allows him to keep his eye on the entirety of a project when toiling away on apps after his children have gone to sleep, working into the late hours of the night on his passion of developing apps. He has done so for several years–since 2011, in fact, where, at a Blackberry event, he and his No Directions Studios team developed their first game, QBE Crush.
The Team
With QBE Crush the No Directions Studios team received their first prize for game development, and since then the only direction they've gone is up. Currently the No Directions Studios team consists of six individuals who all create their important parts, each contributing to the development of various apps. This team of six, after receiving several incentives from Blackberry, have expanded their horizons on top of their team. They recognize both Apple and Android to be the larger markets and are now focusing their attention on those markets, such as with the release of 2-Bit Heroes for the IOS (Apple) platform.
When it comes to citing inspiration, Adam does not shy away, and names Tiny Wings as perhaps his favorite app, as it inspired him in the fact that it was designed by a single individual and uses unique mechanics that had not been utilized before. Another of his favorites is Dots, for its employment of simple game play, as it goes to prove that games need not be complex to be fun. Finally, Adam states that RoboTek is a favorite of his, as it "uses a unique gameplay and interesting graphics."
2-Bit Heroes
As for the development of 2-Bit Heroes, it came with its fair share of challenges. No Direction Studios used myriad software programs to develop the app, keeping an ever-watchful eye on new software that could potentially better the app or make development go more smoothly, and experimented with several technologies. Regardless of what technology they used, the most important thing remained the ability for their apps to be compatible across platforms in order to reach a broader audience and reduce the amount of potential (unnecessary) work. 2-bit Heroes was in development for nearly a year before being released, having its game play changed a few times during the process. On top of this, assembling the team together on a regular basis proved difficult at times. In the end, the effort was worth it, providing players with the free and fun app, that offers engaging game play and a real challenge.
2-Bit Heroes is described by Adam "a free runner with an emphasis on speed." In addition, No Direction Studio made it a point to cultivate a social feeling in-game of both camaraderie and enmity when playing. They accomplished this by adding "power-ups centered around other heroes helping (or hampering)" player progress. These power-up friends and foes include those who will plow through obstacles, speed Zero the 2-Bit Hero up, or cover the player's vision with a misguided attempt to help out. Another unique feature of the game is that it includes an ending, to go against the grain and break out of the endless mold of similar style free runners. No Direction Studios hopes to expand on the 2-Bit Hero universe in the future, so fans can rest assured that they haven't seen the last of the 2-Bit Heroes.
Speaking of fans, No Direction Studios intended 2-Bit Heroes to encompass as large of an audience as possible, but found it to resonate more with those who at least had previous gaming experience. With their kid and family friendly content it's clear that No Direction Studios put in the effort to include as many people as they can for their games, and with their focus of making each production compatible across platforms they are doing their part to reach out and provide the public with the experience of playing their creative ventures.
Adam admits that being an indie developer is not easy, given the amount of work involved and the steep competition to garner attention, but asserts that if someone holds a passion for something it's worth pursuing. He states that starting the group is probably the simplest part, but that setting goals and keeping them is extremely important yet hard to stick to. He and those at No Direction Studios have found that without goals the project can go on forever, but with goals inherently comes planning and timing. With a little motivation and a lot of dedication, great things can be accomplished. Overall, even if something takes a long time, he suggests not giving up.
The Future
So, what about the future of No Direction Studios? Adams assures us that the studio has many irons in the fire, a lot of games that they are currently preparing. Some of a the projects are a revamping of older stuff that they made for the BlackBerry platform, which they are rebooting. They also have some completely new stuff coming, as well. Adam wisely states that, "there are usually more ideas than time," and asks fans to stay tuned.

The Sound of The Web: Haiku andPoetry on Facebook and Twitter is a book of haiku poetry by Amos White, social media marketing expert, author and haiku poet of over 25 years.
"Amos White is a fresh new voice on the literary scene. He has taken an ancient form, haiku, and inflected it with a modern sensibility to produce poetry that hums with the sounds of the web."
- Daniel H. Pink, author of DRIVE andA WHOLE NEW MIND
From The Preface of The... More Description
From The Preface of The Sound ofThe Web
"When Automattic Joint (now,Automattic) first launched WordPress, their tagline read, "Makingthe web a more beautiful place." This floored me. It was frank and honest, but more importantly it was fresh. It was bold to put that on your company masthead: "beauty" first. It was Ezra Pound shouting "make it new!" And they had.
"In the online world, beauty, digitalgestures (smileys and thumbs-up), direct, honest responses are key and central to the social web, in building relationships and inextending our personal networks.
This is the point of my haiku: to connect the reader thru the social web to release an experience captured in nature: man via web meets nature. My haiku are socially mediate reflections, each recorded and then shared via Facebook and Twitter to my networks and the Internet as social objects that poke and nudge and stream down a mountain of newsfeeds to pool somewhere,one thousand miles away before your third eye.
"That is the sound of the web. Theimpact of sharing nature's beauty- and in making objects ofbeauty around which we gather, discuss, share and recreate thru the Internet- has brought and will continue to bring a profound change in this world.

LOS ANGELES — Leonardo DiCaprio is finally returning to the big screen two years after "The Beach" washed out of theaters, and his Hollywood pals turned out Monday night to catch a glimpse of it.
The "Titanic" star has two massively anticipated movies rolling out this month — the Martin Scorsese epic "Gangs of New York" on December 20 and, a few days later, Steven Spielberg's "Catch Me If You Can," which also stars Tom Hanks.
Spielberg, Hanks, co-stars Jennifer Garner and Christopher Walken, along with Gary Busey, Martin Sheen and "Red Dragon" director Brett Ratner all hit the red carpet Monday night for the movie's premiere. (Click for photos from the red carpet.)
Based on the memoirs of a guy who, as a teenager, evaded the FBI while forging checks and pretending to hold various jobs, "Catch Me If You Can" had the crowd at the Mann's Bruin Theater talking about the reemergence of the film's 28-year-old leading man.
"He's such a good actor," said Garner, who plays a prostitute in the film. "I mean, he's always been such a good actor, and that's the way we thought of him until 'Titanic.' And now we all just think he's such a big movie star. But in reality, he's a movie star because he's a good actor."
"Well, I'm a biased director, [but] I think ['Catch Me If You Can'] is the most brilliant performance of his career," Spielberg said. "I mean, not since '[What's Eating] Gilbert Grape' have I seen him act this well, because he plays many different characters in the movie."
Hanks gushed similarly, declaring, "Leo is the hardest working, most intelligent actor I've ever come across."
"Catch Me If You Can" hits theaters December 25, five days after "Gangs of New York."

The dear soul, known to us as Lela Galadriel, aka The Leopard Queen, has shuffled off this mortal
coil. Surely the place she describes here bears a close resemblance to the Ascended Planet which
she she now inhabits. Blessing, dearest Lela. You are always loved.
A Projection of Ascension
The Leopard Queen
The concept of Ascension means different things to different people. It is our intent to define Ascension as we understand it, and to talk about possible realities, probable realities, conjectures, and plain old guesses. Let's jump right in.
Ascension is, at the very least, the process of moving Earth and its inhabitants from a third-dimensional consciousness to a fourth-dimensional consciousness. We would use the word "reality" to substitute "consciousness" – except that we agree that "reality" is a concept, or state of being, that is agreed upon collectively.
We believe that Ascension is actually a physical process that encompasses all planes of awareness – physical, mental, and astral. By "physical process" we mean that all elements of a man's make-up is comprised of matter. Thus, while humans today distinguish between mental (physical logic), astral (emotional), and spiritual (that which combines and is accepted by both mental and astral), the truth is all three planes comprise any one person's physical reality.
In Base 24, there is a good description of a singular dimension. The dimensions are considered octavical (moving in cycles of eight). In the third-dimension physical plane, there are seven sub-planes; this is also true for the mental and astral planes. So, we have three states of consciousness (mental, physical, astral) with seven sub-planes to the fourth-dimension.
These cycles do not always move in harmony; they are ever shifting, but as the gravity of Light and Love being radiated by millions on Earth, the "frequencies" of those 24 sub-planes are being forced ever upward, toward the fourth-dimension.
We expect that there will be "one perfect moment" – as we know it in the third-dimension – when the 24 planes resonate perfectly, and all humans incarnate on this planet will be aware of that moment on a physiological, cellular level. However, that "one perfect moment" will not remain static – as collective kinetic energy never quite does. However, that "one perfect moment" will act as the Perfect Key to unlock the tumblers of Earth physiology. Many Solutions will become available then, and will remain available, even while the sub-planes are in fluctuation.
The sub-planes remaining in fluctuation are a normal shift and flow of energy. An analogy would be the ocean, as the tide washes in, recedes, and then pushes forward again, further than before, and "maxes out" at high tide. Once "high tide" pushes all 24 sub-planes into the fourth-dimension, those will remain, and Earth will be "locked" into the fourth-dimension, and will not regress back to the third-dimension.
On a cellular level, individual humans who had given no prior conscious thought to raising his vibration will receive the "call" in his mind and soul, and he will instinctively understand that he stands upon a Threshhold, and that the time to make his choice – to go forward, or to remain, is becoming critical. The "one perfect moment" is that one moment when the soul and the persona both stand at "zero-time" and will – together – make their Universal choice to unite, or to part, or to reintegrate with the Cosmic Soul – to individuate again later.
More about the Threshhold; this has many names and meanings in different cultures, but I use Threshhold here to mean that pinnacle of "fusion of awareness" between the mental, physical and astral planes of each individual, and where – for perhaps the first time since they incarnated on Earth – will have the perfect "window" with which to see themselves, their environment, and to see themselves as one with God, or as small as a micro-atom – and to know that they are the same. No matter what choices are made, the Separative Will will be a thing of the past, in the fourth-dimension.
There will be those who choose not to ascend, and that is perfectly acceptable and correct for those persons. What will most likely happen is that they will either remain in the third-dimension (and they will remain in the "past-history" of Earth.) Also likely is that they will "transfer" to other areas of existence of awareness in this universe or others. The "worst" thing that might happen to those people (depending on your viewpoint) is that they may consign themselves to sub-planes of the third-dimension.
The important thing to know is that NO ONE IS CONDEMNED. All choices made are free and respected choices, and while we would like for everybody to ascend, we also accept that different souls have different needs, and that one soul cannot measure the rightness of another's Purpose. The Universe – and the Creator – is not omniscient. The Wise Ones can tell us what was, and to some extent what is, but not always what will be. This is a particular responsibility of people on Earth – to create our own future. We can't get answers outside of ourselves, because we are the ones creating the solutions.
In a world where we depend on parents, clergy, and even governmental figures (God forbid!) it is hard for humans to accept that they hold the answers – to questions that haven't been asked yet. This is why humans are critical to the Ascension process – they are the ones who will define what is to be! This is also why it is important that humans DO ask questions – so that the "workers" can start working on solving those problems, and finding the answers that are available – or those that could be.
There is a concept known (and feared) by some called Judgment Day. Our perception of Judgment Day is NOT that there is a calendar coordinated event; there is no parent-teacher conference between Ourselves and God. Judgment Day is, we think, a simplistic term to describe the Dweller on the Threshhold. What this means is that every human will come face-to-face with his higher self, and it we be at that time that a persona in incarnation will have an opportunity to see a "psychic slide show" of his own life, and to determine if he needs to progress with his Lessons in that path, or if he needs to redirect his soular purpose to a more harmonious, unified path that correlates more directly with the general path of Humanity.
We also believe that the Dweller on the Threshhold is the "Shadow" of every man; and that every man must face and accept his own Shadow – that which appears to make him dark, or negative – especially as he may have been trained in negativistic schools of thought that emphasized the "beast" in man's nature – rather than learning that the "dark side of man" is little more than a flip side of a coin, the mirror by which man learns his own weaknesses and strengths, and eventually turns both to right Purpose.
We would hope that all men, when facing the Dweller (the secret, "dark" part of their own selves) they will respond with courage and wisdom, and learn to face that "darkness" with Love, compassion and understanding. When people find it in their hearts to forgive themselves, it becomes so much easier to turn around and extend that to another human. It is a gift, not a curse.
A man was cursed, and turned into a Beast. A woman loved the Beast, and her love transformed him back to being a man, a graceful creature in the eyes of the Creator, and of the woman who loved him.
Thus far, we have explained our views and beliefs on WHAT Ascension is (fourth-dimensional consciousness), and HOW it will occur (raising the vibration), and WHAT will precipitate it (humans facing themselves, accepting, and transforming their darkness or transmuting it).
The next question is: So what happens AFTER Ascension?
Who the hell knows?
But seriously, it is true; Earth is truly the first time that third-dimensional consciousness has been experienced through Free Will. There have been some states of fourth-dimensional consciousness that operated through Free Will; Atlantis was an example, and was such a bad example that the mission had to be scrapped – repeatedly, until out of necessity, we finally fell to the third-dimension, where humans could do a lot less damage than they could in the fourth-dimension.
It was spit-in-the-wind prayers and a few Hail Mary's, and it took 20,000 years, but it happened; humans gained the right to Ascension through two Harmonic Convergences and the actions and lessons of many, many individuals.
Life after Ascension: No two people I know have any "set" conviction as to what will happen after Ascension occurs. There is no "absolute reality" – agreed upon or otherwise, and there will be much that we make up as we go along. For those who depend on routines, charts, and strict accordance to schedule, this is probably uncomfortable. However, we believe the "reactionary-types" are in the minority.
The majority of people will begin to consider the possibilities, and the particularly clever or creative are going to see all kinds of opportunity doors opening up for them and for others. We also believe it is those same people who will be "key" to setting up the best possible constructs of reality. Those people are the ones who think holistically (what affects me affects those around me), and they will be well-suited to planning and devising implementation of community-agreed projects.
However, those that act as the "voices" for the community will NOT be leaders – they will be voices. As shamans, or channelers, they will be the ones who agree to serve as "channelers" for the group voice. There will be division of labor (labor including: thinking up new ideas) and responsibility, but there will not be a militaristic or elitist structure associated with those roles.
Also, those roles will shift. The voices are not "elected." The ones who act as channels will do so in concordance with the Divine Plan, and through Group Thought. If, at any time, they do not represent Group Thought, other harmonious individuals will step in. This will be done on a cellular, rather than mental level. It will occur spontaneously, and without peer judgment.
We believe that animals will speak again, and that their lessons will harmonize a little more concurrently with humans, in the fourth-dimension. Humans will be more willing to interact directly and to learn from the animals, without being overcome by a need to enslave them, as occurred in Atlantis. (Also, there are safeguards for the animals' safety that was not present at that time.) Animals, too, have earned Free Will, and are bound by the same laws of Divine Intent as are humans.
This applies to other Devic beings as well, including the plant and mineral kingdom. Devas are free to work in cooperation with humans and other Devic forms, but ALL forms working in the fourth-dimension on Earth will have to be aligned within the Divine Plan. This alignment is achieved through the Will, and is no more complicated than that. A soul, of any form, that consciously wills itself to be aligned with the Divine Plan, is aligned, through Intent, and thus, Purpose.
There will be animals (perhaps entire species or breeds) that choose not to ascend, and that is their right. Some will prefer – as some humans will – to fulfill their Service elsewhere, or to lend their consciousness or magnetic structures to other areas of the Universe that are at need. Also, there will be some animals not known (or forgotten) in the third-dimension that will choose to appear and be of Service in the fourth-dimension. No departure is to be mourned; they are to be celebrated. No arrival is to be feared; they are to be welcomed.
There may perhaps be some exodus of certain breeds that humans have become attached to and learned to love, but at least a few of those creatures will remain. Of the dolphins, for example, many will leave – but many will remain. This is generally true of most of the animals on this planet. Some will stay, and some will go. In many cases, it will also be that certain animals will travel with humans whom they've adopted as special (and harmonic), and they may go on to create new possibilities in other societies within the Universe.
One of the joys of the third-dimension has been the "working out of possibility." In the Free Will environment, many relationships not previously known to the galaxy (or the universe at large) have developed new bonds; those bonds will remain inasmuch as the individuals allow them to. The Creator accepts, welcomes, and rejoices in those new relationships.
It is our belief that the Policy of Lesson, and Karma, will remain, but to altered degrees. It is the nature of consciousness to continue to learn, to grow, and to create. Karma has been, in the third-dimension, a "regulating Device" of magnetic attraction to ensure that energy put out is energy returned. This is a Universal law – and not a punitive one. At any rate, Lesson and Karma will NOT go away, so anyone looking for a free-ride in the fourth-dimension would be better off to book a flight to a different planet – preferably the one they came from.
That is an aspect seldom addressed in prophetical channelings; what exactly is going to happen to the ones who have systematically defied the Divine Plan at every turn? Well, several things could happen: If those clowns ever get their act together, they will basically be issued a null decree at Ascension. What this means is that if a "certain someone" for instance, had been nothing but a monster since Atlantis – but at the last moment before Ascension takes firm root – that "monster" finally sees the Light – then we have a case of someone whom it took aeons, but who finally passed the "test".
Many of us have passed many tests – many of those tests were self-inflicted, and self-graded. Earth has been the ultimate "go at your own pace" learning academy. At any rate, while it is annoying (on an ego level) that certain clowns seem to get away with breaking every rule in the book – and failing every test in the book, in the end, there is truly only one test – that of facing the Dweller on the Threshhold.
Anyone who passes that self-test has accomplished what every human ultimately came here to do. It becomes a moot point that they didn't play fair, or that they cheated, or that they caused others to lose points; in the end, as the sub-planes vibrate toward the fourth-dimension, what we have is people in their final and true phase of their own self-discovery period.
No one will be able to "fake out" the Dweller. The Dweller is not about character, virtue, or fabulous reputation; the Dweller on the Threshhold is the mirror of consciousness that reveals itself to a soul, and forces a soul to observe it(self). If the soul accepts what he sees, then that soul is free to move on, and no other soul has the right to impede it.
Those who meet the Dweller and accept it, are accepting themselves, and are agreeing to accept others. The Separative Will is lost, and those who go through the Doorway go through as All, rather than One.
The fourth-dimension as Paradise: What does that mean to you? (Tell the Universe!)
When I think of Paradise, I think of being rejoined with the Spirit world, and that we become the One that we always were, in the fourth-dimension but not in the third. And, by "Spirit world", I do not become ectoplasmic or etheric – it means that my physical body becomes permeable, and that I am consciously aware of permeation. When I see the colors of a rainbow, I see the color blue as it fills my heart with love. I see my heart responding with a conscious will of its own. I see the color purple waving through my brain area, and I know in a physical sense that I have new ideas, and that I can see the manifestation of my thoughts.
In the fourth-dimension, I do not see a complacent people, who simply pull forth what they need and do not return energy to Earth or to their fellow man. I see all men who collectively agree to maintain peace, and even a utopia – but not perfection, as perfection is a perception, and requires spiritual equilibrium. It is Pursuit of Perfection that is the most fun.
Humanity must remember to multiply, rather than divide, the gifts that it perceives.
That is the eternal gift of Magic.
In the fourth-dimension, we will have added depth to our existence, and many of what we call "Laws of Physics" will change; that is to say that they will be reappraised, and understood a great deal differently than they are now. Many Laws of Physics are posited from a third-dimensional rather than Universal reality. The laws of time will change, and the laws of matter. All of the sciences, including mathematics, will multiply "possibilities" exponentially, and this should be enough to keep certain scientists and theorists amused for at least 1,500 years.
Ironically, it will not matter what is understood, or explainable in rational terms. The term "rational" will take on a whole new dimension – and will embrace the spiritual aspect as part of any calculation. Indeed, it is the (currently unperceived) spiritual dimension that has eluded scientists thus far, and as it has been "unquantifiable" in the past, it has merely been eliminated from the equation(s).
The third-dimensional equations, which are largely correct (and beneficial to leading us to this point), will have to be reevaluated – but it should not take long for those reconfigurations to be effected, thanks to the spiritualist theories that are already being posited within the third-dimension.
Ascension should be a lot of fun. Many will feel, in the beginning, that they are living in an altered reality, and will feel slightly fuzzy or unbalanced. The physical state of appearance will change in many ways; humans will begin to transmorph into their true Soular appearance, and this means physical transformation. Health will become something that is controlled by the individual, and as long as he remains in harmony with his environment, he will remain stable.
Immortality is a possibility in the fourth-dimension. There has been abuse in the past regarding immortality, and of enslaving the power of other immortals, and we like to think that is a condition that has changed through Earth experience. At any rate, the magnetic laws of Earth will change sufficiently, and the cellular code of each individual will be programmed (by experience in the third-dimension) to defend its body, and if necessary, to leave the biosphere of Earth to protect itself.
Skin will feel differently. We refer to this because it is a common reference point. Skin will be more permeable, it will seem as if it is easily penetrable with no ill-effect. Many people not used to the ideas of atomic-structure or molecular stacking may be put off during the initial restructuring stage. There WILL be a restructuring period.
What does that really mean? Humans, in the third-dimension, are used to looking at their bodies and saying, "That's the way it is." Some people, who believe (correctly) in the power of Will, have learned to focus the power of their minds on their bodies, and eventually learn to master – to some extent – the power of the mental plane upon the physical plane. Those people who seem to be "blocked" are actually blocked by their astral (emotional) bodies. Thus, in the third-dimension, it requires harmony of the entire spirit body, and a dedication of Purpose, for humans to will their bodies into shape.
In the fourth-dimension, it will be possible (nay, it will be necessary!) for humans to restack their molecules. This is what some call "rejuvenation", and it will be possible to do such by Will, and specifically with Divine Intent. One of the screw-ups in Atlantis was to have "rejuvenation centers" where people went to have their molecules restacked, and often as not stole those molecules from those considered particularly powerful. There are umpteenth gazillion molecules in the Universe that are not currently being utilized; it is THOSE molecules that need to be harnessed – with their permission – to insure rejuvenation with Divine Intent.
This is the true nature of immortality within conscious beings. They rejuvenate with the exchange and integration of new cells, available through the Universe, in a cooperative manner. "Immortals" do go through periods of whole transformation, in which case they require total transmutation of old matter into new matter, but this will affect every individual differently, and their "timelines" will be different.
It is to be hoped that ALL humans have learned their Lessons, either through Atlantis, or since. Lemuria and Mu had their own problems, but karmically were not as cataclysmic as Atlantis. We would hope that no one with any sense would want to "re-live" any of those environments. We would like to think that Ascension will be different, for several reasons:
The Earth population has really had the chance to explore the concept of Unity, and to understand how the macro- and micro-cosim depend on that very fact; the population has thoroughly experienced Duality in the most comprehensive manner possible, and having done things the "hard way" for so long, ought to find fourth-dimensional life a "snap" in comparison. In both cases, the "racial memory" ought to be imbedded in our cellular codes.
Color and texture will be different. We discussed texture to some extent, when talking about "permeability." Color (in relation to sight) will be the difference between a 16-bit computer and a 256-bit computer. The color scale will also go back to red-blue-green, rather than red-yellow-blue, as we are taught in art school as the primary colors. It does not matter, for this discussion, the "history of color" – but it is relevant to know that humans' eyesight will begin to perceive depth of color – and therefore of matter.
It is that depth of color perception that will allow humans to see things – and people – they've never seen before. Yet, the sensation will be one of recognition. We're not inheriting a "new reality" – we are reaffirming a reality long denied. It will be as puzzle pieces coming together.
The best thing about Ascension, from my personal viewpoint, is the harmonic convergence of humans in the physical-dense and the physical non-dense realities. It will seem as a big reunion – people having forgotten the Divine Plan, will remember that they volunteered to go in (to incarnation) on a 1/3 in, 2/3 out system.
A way to visualize the fourth-dimension is a giant platform full of people that is raised to the ceiling. When the people get to the next level, they realize they've been here before, and start to recognize familiars from the past.
So, there is no destruction, there is simply a reintegration.
Other forms will change, as we know them in the third-dimension: Government, education, religion, and science.
• Government – Government will be internal, rather than external. This means that the voices of government will truly be directed – telepathically and empathetically – through the people. A single member of the chosen government will be highly accountable in the fourth-dimension. Currently, the government responds (if they do) to mail, which is simply a configuration of words in print. However, in the fourth-dimension, if a constituent becomes upset, the governmental figure will feel that upset physically, and will be more inclined to respond to it. "I feel your pain" will truly have meaning, when humans can radiate the power of their emotion to elected office.
• Education – no longer will the System "get away with" regurgitating information, and reducing it to its lowest common denominator. No longer will a select few be allowed to determine what is suitable for the mind of man. The needs of the people will prevail over the narrow, the bigoted, and the loveless. No human will be dependent upon the educational system, and therefore the educational system will become dependent upon the will of man, as it should be.
• Religion – will be converted to the more truly harmonious spiritual path, and will rid itself of prejudice, narrowness, and ignorance. Religion – as Spiritualism – will embrace the All rather than the Few. SPIRITUALISM will embrace the totality of existence, and will encourage transmogrification on an individual basis. Spiritualism will embrace philosophy, and will understand that thought (mental) and emotion (astral) are physically connected to the Earth. Thus, the "parties" or religious groups will break down, and to survive, all groups must respond to the Universal Spirit of the group. Therefore, religion and science will merge to express Spiritualism on a Universal level – the true key to existence in ANY dimension.
• Science – will embrace the harmonics of spiritual existence into its equations. Science will be microcosmic and holistic at the same time, and will thrive, but will not rise in greater importance than the Will of the People. It is, in fact, the Will of the People that will fuel scientific discovery. We would hope that the two would rise in comparable tides, and that each supports the other in perfect synchronicity.
• Currency, not mentioned above, will also change. Currently, power in the third-dimension is measured by monetary wealth, or who controls the world food supply. Currency (money) as we know it in the third-dimension, is a false external Device of measurement, and does not truly reflect cost and effect. In other words, for whatever "dollars" mean, humans are not getting their dollar's worth. This is not merely about inflation – another external distortion of "value" – but about the fact that an act must be returned with an act, a though returned with a thought, or a feeling returned with a feeling.
In the fourth-dimension, "need" will be expressed as an Intent. The intent will be returned with a supply proportional to the need. There will not be waste, and there will not be a false shift in supply, nor supply falsely controlled by anyone. Planetary economy, as an esoteric principle, will finally be allowed to manifest.
For once, in the history of Earth, humans will have what they need, and recognize their own power to manifest the solutions that benefit themselves and their fellow Man. Dependence will become a thing of the past, to be replaced by Cooperation.
What a beautiful day that will be…
Love, Galadriel

Taking the Pulse of News Today
Whoever said "the best things in life are free" probably never heard about Pulse. But the sentiment is correct for one of the best real-time iPad news reader apps around.
Pulse is an RSS feed on steroids. It allows you to arrange your feed content into easy–to-browse, scrolling headlines. Its slick magazine quality graphics feel like your own personal stack of magazines and websites. You can also personalize content by categories such as News, Business, Sports, Design, Food, and Tech.
Browsing through the app, I've discovered new sites and reintroduced myself to favorites like The Atlantic, BBC and Fast Company. Plus, you can add any RSS feed to Pulse.
I also like that Pulse prominently displays the image associated with each story (as opposed to an abstract). Its very pleasing visually. Viewing a variety of stories from all your favorite publications at one time is a real time-saver and engagement winner.
The way we use our iPads has contributed to the popularity of Pulse. I turn to Pulse first thing in the morning, much as I used to do with a newspaper. For others, the iPad is the go-to leisure time reader. It is the mobile device that we favor for couch surfing and bedtime reading. Research has shown that consumption of articles in an iPad raises dramatically in the evening hours from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Pulse fits perfectly into our evenings and weekends.
Users can add Facebook and Twitter accounts as content sources, connect their Google Reader accounts or add individual RSS feeds or websites. The application supports up to 25 different news sources.
In November, Pulse added three different Facebook streams – news links, status updates and my wall – so you can incorporate your own Facebook content in a unique fashion.
And this month, Pulse added six popular social media sites as sources: Reddit, Digg, Vimeo, YouTube, Picplz and Flickr.
Pulse is less than a year old but it's growing by leaps and bounds. An infusion of capital allowed parent company Alphonso Labs to move from a paid to a free site. The Pulse reader was developed by two talented young men, Akshay Kothari and Ankit Gupta, who created the app in ten weeks for a course at Stanford University. After launch, it became a best-selling application in the iTunes App store.
The way we read is changing and while Pulse is the leader now, it will be interesting to see what tools will be our go-to in the next year.

More (but just a little) on art and sg
I'm pretty much inclined to let the things stand as they are on this topic. Those for whom religious music has meaning as an expression of particular orthodox doctrines or a fixed set of theological tenets will likely remain unconvinced by those who, like L'Engle (and, I guess I should say, me), tend to discover religious meaning in a range of forms and places, to be less interested in motives than effects.
(As an side, I hasten to add that much of L'Engle's writing leaves me cold, especially in the way it tends to trail off into the high weeds of neo-Platonic vagary – for instance, "all Christian art (by which I mean all true art ….) is cosmos in chaos" – but I like her general refusal to be pinned down and her truculent resistance to the anti-intellectual reductionism so common in much of mainstream Christianity.)
For those who judge art in part (though not exclusively) by its ability to elicit certain responses create and certain effects (and now, obviously, I'm being vague, if not neo-Platonically so), there would never be a question of confusing Billy Joe Bob's Sunday morning special – eternally earnest but musically inferior – for art of any kind. Put this another way: bad art may be bad religion (and to be honest, I'm not sure it's a claim I'd defend to the death; I mostly like it for its pithiness and the way it is likely to throw joyful noisers off balance for a few seconds before they can think of a bible verse to cherry pick by way of rebuttal). But bad music isn't necessarily art at all.
The rules of responsible argumentation dictate that at this point I define key terms ("good," "bad," … "art"), but I figure if George Bush can ignore whatever rules he finds inconvenient, who am I to demand more of myself? The answer I may never know …. Anyway, the original provocation can stand unamended more or less, because sometimes the more interesting discussion is the one that proceeds with less, rather than more, amplification from the provocateur … and too, clarifying would be harder work for the provocateur tonight that he's up for.Email this Post

We can think of no better way to welcome in the New Year than to do so in a huge plume of raw tire smoke! Thanks for joining us again here at The Hollow in 2014, today we're heading back to the Beverly Corners Show and Shine 2013 with our running photoblog series "The Toads At The Sportsplex". The car show was a terrific experience for us this past summer, even though we only visited briefly we came away with some really great shots of some terrific cars. The one we're featuring here today is a 1969 Camaro RS SS Yenko "Tribute" car. Meticulously built, you'd be seriously hard-pressed to notice the differences between this car and one of the real originals.
This is the stuff that myths are built on, my friends. And for really good reason, too.
In the late 1960's Don Yenko owned Yenko Chevrolet, a Chevy dealership on the east coast of the US. In 1967 he started taking the new Chevrolet Corvairs, which seemingly impressed him with their handling due to the rear-engine design, and began to modify them and sell them to a hungry group of car enthusiasts. This was the same time that Chevrolet was releasing their version of the pony car, called the Camaro. Don immediately recognized that this was a very special platform, perfectly suited for high horsepower, big block engines.
And thus was born the legend.
The original Yenko's are going for astronomical amounts of money these days, partly due to their rarity and partly due to the history behind the badge. It's common to see replicar versions, like the one we feature here today, selling for $50,000-$100,000. In some cases, the guys who build them spend that much to make the car spot-on perfect.
In this shot, of particular note, is the cue ball 4-speed shift knob. This is a classic throw-back to the 60's muscle car era and lets the world know that under the hood of this car is a pure tire-smoking, fire-breathing beast that does not like to sit still. At all.
If you love cars half as much as I do you can't help but be struck by the incredible condition this car is in, including under the hood. No attention to detail has been missed to create the most authentic rendition of a Yenko I've seen in many years. During the time these cars were prowling the streets, Detroit was well-known to fib on the performance specifications, widely believed to be a way to circumvent some of the issues that were being raised by insurance companies concerned about the speed and power of this generation of cars. The 425HP sticker on the air filter is really more of a way to placate concerned insurance executives than it was meant to advertise the truth.
And for good reason, too. This one fact alone is highly responsible for the limited number of cars from this era. Today, many of them live out their days in a wrecking yard after having come to an abrupt stop by meeting a telephone pole at velocity. Sadly, many lives were also lost during this time.
The Yenko stripe was quite prevalent on many, if not all, of the modified cars that Don Yenko built and shipped from his dealership. Today, avid enthusiasts can recognize a Yenko from hundreds of yards away with a glance of these stripes.
This was also true for the badging. The Yenko badge affixed to the back of the car denotes that under this gorgeous sheet-metal lives the heart of a true dragon. This is further bolstered by the 427 badge, one that lives on today in infamy in car circles everywhere. One glance at these badges, and most people looking for a challenge in the form of a race just throw up their hands and walk away. No one likes to be embarrassed.
I find it so exciting to discover that there's still a large and enthusiastic audience for cars of this caliber and generation. So much history is lost these days as new generations come and lose interest in the things that matter to the previous generations. Cars appear to be immune from this. To find proof, all you need to do is find a local car show, usually hosted in the summer months, and spend some time wandering around and talking to the owners. You're guaranteed an experience you won't soon forget.
Thanks so much for visiting us here today on our first post of 2014! As always, we love to hear from all our visitors, so please do feel free to leave us any comments you may have. Until next time, my friends!!

In the past few weeks, I have seen more nasty viruses than in any period I can recall. Hybris, Magistr, SirCam, and Nando are but a few of them and the vast majority of computers are not protected, at all.
As of last night, 25% of the computers scanned by McAfee were infected with the Nando virus, which first appeared on September 18!
It is a wicked little devil that resends itself to everyone in the computer's address book, infects every system on the local network, and even inserts itself into the company's homepage, if it can. The cost of the bad PR due to the infection of every website visitor's system could be staggering.
Unless the antiviral data files have been updated within the past week, the computer is not protected.
Virus software compares files that are opened or executed against a database of "signatures". With three new viruses every day, systems that have old virus definition files might as well not even be running the software; it will not recognize or stop the new viruses and creates a false sense of security.
Most of the "Roadrunner" clients I have serviced were not running any antiviral software at all and not one of them had been updated. Since that is one of the most expensive services available, doesn't it stand to reason that the subscribers will tend to be more influential and successful infection of their systems would be the most damaging?
Most computer technicians also tend to ignore the antiviral software altogether. Don't assume that the guys taking care of your computer even check to see if the antiviral software is working, much less whether it is current. Most of the companies servicing small businesses have no procedures for regular software maintenance and most of the technicians don't have any data they care about.
I believe that we must have a major publicity campaign to educate the computer user's of the danger and, more importantly, how to check for and perform regular antiviral updates. If we don't, then I am afraid a truly destructive attack will be outrageously successful.
One fourth of our computers are already infected with Nando. The virus itself seems to do little except spread. It does; however, open the door for a follow-up by creating shares to all drives with no password and by holding open every TCP/IP port it can.
We need to move fast, before the next virus comes through those holes.
If I can be of any assistance in this matter, or any of you should have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

TEHRAN, Iran – Iran's ex-president Ayatollah Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, an influential figure in the theocratic government for nearly three decades, died Sunday aged 82 because of a cardiac arrest, Iran state TV announced.
Non Persian Iran - Persians are at best a feeble majority, possibly as small as 51 percent of the total population.
When most people think of Iran, they think "Death to America," terrorists and turbans, evil-looking beards and missiles rising from bright, arid canyons. If they think further,

One of my favorite figures in Kurdish history is Qazi Mohammad (1898-1947). Qazi was publicly executed by the Iranian government in 1947. 67 years after his hanging, his fierce yet poetic tongue in the face of his nation's enemy still captivates my mind. A hero, a scholar, a family man, a patriot, a leader, a believer…Qazi Mohammed will always remain in Kurdish history, as one of the most influential and loved leaders.

Ever since the Chihuly exhibit came to the Frederik Meijer Gardens, I've noticed that it seems to eventually come up in conversation with my friends and business associates. The reason everyone is talking about this exhibit is that it's unique, stunning and beautiful. The exhibit was to end in September and is now being held over until October 31, 2010.
The Chihuly exhibit, titled A New Eden, features 15 sculpture sites with most of them outside and a continuously playing presentation about Chihuly in the Hoffman Family Theater. Dale Chihuly is said to be the most sought after artist in the world, working primarily in glass. This is his 2nd exhibition at the Gardens.
It was hard to pick my favorite from all the sites, but if I had to pick, it would be of the area shown in this HDR photo that I took during my 3rd visit (and I'll be back for more!).
Frederik Meijer Garden's hours are:
Mon and Tues: 9 am–9 pm
Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat: 9 am–5 pm
Sun: 12 pm–5 pm
You can learn more at their website by clicking here.
If you can make it, I'd highly recommend this exhibit (just in case you can't already figure that out!)

What is Trisomy 13?
Also known as Patau Syndrome, Trisomy 13 is a genetic disorder in which the person gets three copies of chromosome 13, which in normal cases, is two copies. This extra copy of chromosome may cause neurological and heart defects making it challenging for infants to survive.
Based on extra DNA from chromosome 13 present in some or all body cells, Trisomy 13 can be further classified into following types:
i. Trisomy 13- When DNA from chromosome 13 is present in all body's cells.
ii. Trisomy 13 mosaicism- When DNA from chromosome 13 is present in some of the cells.
iii. Partial trisomy – When only a part of third chromosome is present in the body cells.
The occurrence of this syndrome is least common among the three autosomal trisomies: Trisomy 21, Trisomy 18 and Trisomy 13. Patau Syndrome usually affect females more than males because of the fact that male fetus having this syndrome could not survive till birth.
Trisomy 13 is found in every 1 of 10,000 babies born. Trisomy 13 is associated with the age of the mother and can affect people of any background. Generally Patau syndrome is not passed down through heredity but the syndrome occurs due to abnormalities in sperm or egg during fetus formation.
Trisomy 13 life expectancy
More than 80% of the children born with Trisomy 13 die within the first year. Sad but true, prognosis for child born with Trisomy 13 is very less but such babies are still born. Some babies with Trisomy 13 will survive the pregnancy and some of the babies survive only their first month of birth. However it becomes difficult to predict the life expectancy of a child born with Trisomy 13 if no life threatening problems exist at the time of birth. In rarest of the rare case, the child may survive teenage as well.
In a normal case, sperm and egg unite at the time of fertilization to form 23 chromosome pairs or 46 chromosomes. However abnormality occurs when sperm and egg are forming and an extra chromosome i.e. chromosome 13 is released to the embryo. This extra chromosome can come either from father's sperm cell or mother's egg cell.
Sometimes chromosome 13 is already attached to another chromosome in the sperm or egg. This condition is also known as translocation. If this occurs, trisomy 13 is inherited in the family.
Trisomy 13 Symptoms
The symptoms of characteristics of Trisomy 13 include:
• Polydactyl i.e. extra toe or finger may be present
• Clenched hands
• Small eyes or eyes may fuse into one another to form close-set eyes
• Reduced muscle tone
• Umbilical and Inguinal hernia
• Split, cleft or hole present in the iris.
• Scalp defects including missing skin on the scalp
• Micrognathia- small lower jaw
• Cryptorchidism – undescended testicle
• Seizures and limb abnormalities
• Rocker bottom (deformed) feet
• Heart and kidney defects
• Neurological defects- microcephaly i.e. small head, holoprosencephaly i.e. brain doesn't divide into two during gestation period and mental problems.
• Other facial defects- Microphthalmia i.e. small eyes, deformed nose and cleft palate or lip.
The symptoms of Trisomy 13 are evident at the time of birth. It has been reported that sometimes Trisomy 13 is mistaken with Trisomy 18 which can be prevented by conducting genetic testing. Usually computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are done to detect the condition of heart, brain and kidney. Echocardiogram which is an ultrasound of heart can be done to know more about associated heart defects.
Gastrointestinal X-ray and ultrasounds can be done to detect the rotation of internal organs. Chromosome studies can be conducted to know whether it's partial, full or mosaicism.
Trisomy 13 treatment
Treatment of Trisomy 13 depends on individual developing the kind of abnormality from this syndrome. It is seen that in most of the cases infants have problem in surviving the first few weeks owing to severe heart and neurological problems. For facial deformations like cleft lip or cleft palate and for heart defects, surgery is required.
Also, physical and speech therapy help the patients in attaining full developmental potential to a great extent.
Prognosis and complications
Trisomy 13 is associated with a number of complications which begin immediately. Some of the complications include:
• Congenital heart disease
• Problem in feeding
• Seizures
• Deafness
• Difficulty in breathing or breathlessness
• Vision problems
• Heart failure
If you see any symptoms of Trisomy 13 in your child, see your health care provider immediately. Also if you already have one child with Trisomy 13 and you are planning for the next child, you should see the doctor first. Genetic counseling can help a great way in understanding the condition and ways to prevent risk of inheriting it further.
The syndrome is a genetic disorder and is difficult to prevent. But it can be diagnosed before birth by amniocentesis. Parents with Trisomy 13 should get genetic testing and counseling done to know the likelihood of their baby developing this condition.

About the Book Blogger Hop The Book Blogger Hop was originally created by Jennifer from Crazy-For-Books in March 2010 and ended on December 31, 2012. With Jennifer's permission, I relaunched the meme on February 15, 2013. Each week the hop will start on a Friday and end on Thursday. There will be a weekly prompt featuring a book related question. The hop's purpose is to give bloggers a chance to follow other blogs, learn about new books, befriend other bloggers, and receive new followers to your own blog. This week's question is: If you read a book you ended up hating, would you stay away from future books by that author, or would you give them a second chance? My Answer That is a tough question to answer. Some people, I'm sure, would say no they wouldn't automatically. Me? Well, there are a few that I've read and just absolutely would not give them another try because of not only myself not liking the book, but others as well. However, there are books that I read and love by an author, then read one book and sit there like "whoa", what just happened, I didn't like it, etc. But,… Read more »

Magnasoft provides international geospatial solutions, engineering services, mapping services, mobile mapping solutions, GIS mapping services, application development services and product development services in GIS and LBS domains.
Magnasoft serves verticals, industries and domains such as power, gas, water, utilities, governments, enterprises, land administration, mining, oil, transportation, forestry.
Magnasoft's 3D laser scanning division employs the best of the brains in the industry with immense domain knowledge that positions Magnasoft as a leader in 3D Laser scanning services.
Laser triangulation is one of the most common techniques of 3D data acquisition. It is an active stereoscopic technique where the distance to the object is computed by means of a directional light source and a video camera.
2D arrays are faster and more accurate. 2D array of the CCD camera captures the surface profile's image and digitizes all data points along the laser. A simple expansion of this technique allows the complete geometry of the object to be captured
The 3D Laser Scanning data team at Magnasoft strives to exceed client expectations on innovation and high quality of data delivery.
The services offered by Magnasoft includes:
With increasing demands for 3D viewing tools resting upon public authorities, architects and museums, Magnasoft specializes in delivering 3D models for any type of structure (production floors, bridge, water tower, road or tunnel) or building (religious, cultural or sporting). These are accurate to the nearest millimeter and provide a superlative level of realism.
Magnasoft provides services that include production of conventional facade plans, plan views, sections, points of disjunction, elevations and profiles from any digitized point of the structure concerned.
Magnasoft provides the above services the following are the application areas:
Architectural Restoration
When original accents are lost the 3D Laser scan of the original object can be used to recreate templates and molds for many items including hand carved wooden posts, plaster appliqué, and metal hardware. Using CNC machining, replica components can be manufactured. "When an original is too expensive, make a new antique."
Historical Archival / Museum
Exact replicas of original art and historical artifacts can be created from 3D Laser Scans, providing historians and enthusiasts access to rare and delicate specimens for study. Replicas could be placed out for museum visitors to touch and hold.
Virtual Museums could be made available world wide, while original specimens remains protected.
Manufacturing & Reverse Engineering
When there is an existing sample, scanning is the ideal basis for run of replacement parts. When replacement parts no longer exist, reverse engineering and short run manufacturing is often the only way to keep antique or legacy equipment in service.
Forensics and Deformation Analysis
For inspection of a failed part, a comparison can be made between a scanned model and the original CAD model or other sample.
Fabrication and Construction Inspection
Quality and integrity of manufacturing can be assured by comparing a production sample to both the original CAD file and a sample known to be within spec.

Move over, Veronica Roth. While the children's book market is saturated with dystopian YA series like Roth's Divergent trilogy and Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games books, it appears that kids prefer an entirely different genre.
Conservative radio commentator Rush Limbaugh won the "Author of the Year" award at the Children's Choice Book Awards for his best-selling book Rush Revere and The Brave Pilgrims: Time-Travel Adventures with Exceptional Americans, besting Roth in the category thanks to votes from kids themselves.
"I love America. I wish everybody did. I hope everybody will," Limbaugh said in accepting the award. "And it's a delight and it's an opportunity to try to share that story with young people so they can grow and learn to love and appreciate the country in which they're growing up and will someday run and lead and inherit."
While Limbaugh's book has been a commercial hit, critics were less than kind — one review called Rush Revere "breathtakingly, laughably terrible," with "such disdain for even the most rudimentary standards of storytelling." Samantha Rollins
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) informed the White House on Monday that his offer of $1.6 billion in border wall funding is off the table after President Trump rejected the deal last Friday during a meeting aimed at averting a government shutdown, Politico reports. "He called the White House yesterday and said it's over," said Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.).
Schumer had floated fully funding the wall in exchange for a deal to give Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients legal status, The New York Times reported, although Trump allegedly didn't think the concessions were conservative enough. "In my heart, I thought we might have a deal tonight," Schumer had claimed on the Senate floor.
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) expressed doubts to Politico about what was negotiated in Schumer's meeting with Trump, which took place over cheeseburgers. The Democrats "claim that some crazy deal was made," Cotton said. "And then when we say no deal was made, they accuse Republicans and the president of reneging."
On Monday, Trump signed a bipartisan bill to fund the government through Feb. 8, and the Children's Health Insurance Program for six years. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) promised that immigration legislation will be brought to a vote by Feb. 8 if the issue has not been resolved by then. Jeva Lange
Turns out the Chosen 1 is not actually a great choice — at least at the books.
ESPN reported Tuesday that the Cleveland Cavaliers, led by LeBron James, are a nightmare for casual gamblers this season. The Cavaliers have been awful at beating their predicted point spreads, ESPN explains: Despite compiling a winning 27-18 record, the team is only 11-33-1 relative to their predicted scores, "which is on pace to rank dead last among [any team] since 1990-91."
In point-spread betting, gamblers place money on the margin of the final score of any given game. Unlike the Golden State Warriors, who upend Vegas point spreads by winning games with unpredictable scores, the Cavaliers are fairly easy for Vegas to get a read on. They've regressed this year due to an aging roster plagued with with chemistry problems — but because the Cavs still employ James, arguably the best basketball player ever, casual bettors still throw their money at the team.
That means that despite the fact that the Cavs have lost 7 of their last 10 games and trot out the second-worst defense in the NBA, Vegas has yet to adjust its betting lines because it's still making money on fans' good will, even as the team continually underperforms. As NBA oddsmaker Jeff Sherman explained to ESPN: "It's just hard for the public to go away when you have a commodity like LeBron."
So if you've got a contrarian streak, you're in luck, because the smart bet is to bet against the 2016 champs. Read more at ESPN. Kelly O'Meara Morales
Look up. Somewhere out there — beyond the high-rises and the clouds and yes, even the airplanes — there are people. To be precise, there are two of them, and they are more than three-and-a-half hours into the first spacewalk of the year.
Astronauts Scott Tingle and Mark Vande Hei are expected to spend more than six hours Tuesday dangling off the side of the International Space Station, where they are installing a new gripper on the station's robotic arm. The mission is the ISS's 206th maintenance spacewalk since it was launched into orbit in 1998.
"This is going to be a lifetime memory for sure," Tingle told Space.com last week. "I'm looking forward to getting out there and fixing up the systems that we'll be working on."
One of the hardest parts of the spacewalk comes when Tingle has to get out of his boot restraint "and I have to go over to my partner's boot restraint, and I have to move him while he's holding a massive piece of equipment from the robotic arm, so there's a lot of mass there," Tingle said. "I think that will be tricky. I'll probably take that slow and be very cautious."

At least there is a payoff for all the trouble, Phys.org reports: "Make us proud out there," fellow Space Station astronaut Joe Acaba told Tingle and Vande Hei from inside. "We'll have hot chow for you when you get back."

Watch CNN's Alisyn Camerota methodically dissect top conservative Matt Schlapp's defense of Trump
On Tuesday, American Conservative Union chairman Matt Schlapp appeared on CNN's New Day and tried very hard to avoid talking about President Trump's alleged affair with an adult film star.
CNN's Alisyn Camerota began by asking Schlapp about a recent report that alleges that President Trump's campaign tried to cover up the tryst, which allegedly took place in 2006 when he was married to wife Melania, with campaign money. Schlapp responded: "I don't really have many thoughts on this, Alisyn. I don't even know what we know."
Schlapp then tried to claim that the report came out of "a gossip publication," referring to a lengthy interview the woman gave to InTouch Weekly. Camerota pointed out in response that the original story about the affair was published by The Wall Street Journal. "Do you think The Wall Street Journal is legit?" she asked.
Schlapp admitted that the Journal is credible, but spun back to referencing InTouch Weekly. "We're going to really talk about about an article by InTouch magazine on facts we don't even know to be true? We are all better than this," he said.
That's when Camerota struck: "Matt, so conservatives don't care anymore about extramarital affairs?" Watch a clip of the interview below, or watch the full segment at Mediaite. Kelly O'Meara Morales
Tens of thousands of New Yorkers have been arrested for possessing knives that are openly sold in city stores
Knives are bringing together the unlikeliest of allies in New York as the constitutionality of a nearly 70-year-old statute is being challenged in federal court. Over the past decade, "tens of thousands" of people have been arrested for possessing illegal "gravity knives" — blades that can be flicked open with the skilled snap of a wrist, In Justice Today reports. Arizona-based knife advocacy group Knife Rights, which is representing three plaintiffs in the case, claims that the law is unconstitutional because there is no firm test to define what is or is not a gravity knife.
What's more, because of how vague and arbitrary the law is, "gravity knives" are often unknowingly sold in regular city stores:
"There's literally no way to know whether you're engaged in legal conduct," Daniel Schmutter, an attorney for the plaintiffs, told the three-judge panel on Thursday. Someone seeking to comply with the law, he explained, might set out to perform the wrist flick test themselves, fail, and think the knife is safely "unflickable." But whether a knife's owner can "flick" his or her knife is irrelevant if a skilled police officer can do so. [In Justice Today]
Of the 928 people arrested for possessing gravity knives between July and December 2015, 84 percent were black or Latino men, Legal Aid reports. Although the fear is that the knives will be used as weapons, "in practice, the law results in New Yorkers who work in construction and other blue-collar jobs getting arrested for carrying an indispensable tool for their jobs," the New York Daily News writes.
As a result, groups as disparate as the NAACP Legal Defense Fund and the National Rifle Association are supporting changes to the law. Read more about gravity knives at In Justice Today. Jeva Lange
President Trump does not have any firm beliefs about the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney seemed to say in an interview on CNN on Tuesday.
The White House wants "a large [immigration policy] agreement. We want a big deal that solves the reason we have a DACA problem in the first place," Mulvaney said. "If you simply gave amnesty, whatever you want to call it, to the folks who are here, but don't solve border security, then you're simply delaying another DACA problem 10 or 15 years from now."
Pressed by CNN's Chris Cuomo to explain Trump's terms and conditions for allowing DACA recipients, who were illegally brought to the U.S. as children, to stay in America, Mulvaney said Trump's position "depends on what we get in exchange. What do we get for border security? What do we get for the wall?" Watch his comments in context below. Bonnie Kristian

Special Counsel Robert Mueller interviewed Attorney General Jeff Sessions for 'several hours' last week
Special Counsel Robert Mueller's office questioned Attorney General Jeff Sessions for "several hours last week," The New York Times reports. The interview is the first known instance of Mueller's office questioning a member of President Trump's Cabinet, although Congress has grilled Sessions on multiple occasions with inquiries pertaining to Russian meddling in the 2016 elections and the Trump campaign's alleged involvement.
Last spring, Sessions recused himself from "any existing or future investigations of any matters related in any way to the campaigns for president of the United States" conducted by the Justice Department, following reports that he had twice spoken with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak during the 2016 election. During his congressional interviews last year, Sessions frustrated lawmakers by repeatedly saying he did not recall the answer to questions or otherwise declining to respond.
Mueller is also slated to interview Trump's former chief strategist, Stephen Bannon, in the coming weeks. In December, The Washington Post reported that White House lawyers have been "assuring the president that Mueller's investigation is poised to wrap up by January or so." Jeva Lange
