What is a Partner – Part 1
If you remember, I spent 17 years building software, running a startup, and also running a consultancy. Imagine my surprise when I entered the corporate world after a 12-year hiatus.
Apparently, the industry has redefined what the word "Partner" means. Due to my role, I get many emails, offers to connect on Linked In, and other unsolicited communications to "Partner" with another company. Their definition of Partner is for me to get out my checkbook and pay them to do something.
I know I'm not one of the "cool kids" any longer. I'm middle-aged, a parent and I've got a couple of grey hairs. (Queue Grandpa Simpson Voice) However, back in my day that used to be called a Vendor relationship. A partner used to imply something a bit more meaningful.
If you "contact" me with a desire to "partner", please be upfront of how we are partnering. Your proposal should be a bit more meaningful than asking for check for a product or service. If we entered that sort of relationship, I am your customer or client, not your "partner".
DirectTV Fraud 888-407-2674
I've been contacted by a company claiming to be from Direct TV. They claim I can take advantage of a promotion with Amazon to pay 5 months of my bill with an Amazon Gift Card. If I do that, I'll get 2 years at a very reduced rate.
I've been stringing these guys along for a few days now, just to see how this works and how I can report it. Since I am not sure how best to shut this down, I'm putting the information on this website. Hopefully it shows up when you google the number or something else. No reputable company would ask you to do this. Further, always google the company and call the phone numbers listed on their site, not some weird number you get from a weird guy on the phone.
- Company Caller ID: Mas Tec
- Originating Number: 800-531-5000
- Promotion Code: CXDTV6266
- Number to Call: 888-407-2674
- Identifying characteristics of caller: Indian accents
So if you end up on this web page, and suspect this is happening to you, it's fraud and you should not buy any gift cards. I would expect as this scam evolves, the gift card vendor will change from Amazon.... in short, Gift cards are the same as cash, so never pay weird bills over the phone with them.
If you need the billing phone number for Direct TV, call: 1 (800) 531-5000 and get through the phone tree for billing (Ask for representative).
This is not a knock on Indian people, nor on Direct TV. Both are awesome.
Why is my connection to Google, Gmail or HSTS Site Untrusted?
Connection to Google untrusted? Fix below!
Lately, I have had issues connecting to Google, Google Mail and other random services over the last few months. I did some digging today and fixed (I believe) the issue. If you are having problems with security messages like the below, try these steps to see if it fixes the problem. I'll put some narrative/background info below if you are curious as to my findings.
Here's an example of what I would see if I dug into the Untrusted Message:
How in the world is accuweather the actual cert for google?
Solution: Here's what I did.
In short, you need to remove the offending certificates. Your browser will re-ask for them and get the right ones
Google Chrome: (screen shots below)
- Click on the 3 horizontal lined Hamburger menu
- Click on Advanced Settings
- Click on HTTPS/SSL Manage Certificates
- Click on Untrusted Certificates Tab
- Remove all that said Fraudulent
Mozilla Firefox (screen shots below)
- Click on the 3 horizontal lined Hamburger menu
- Click on the Options button
- Click on the Advanced Menu on the right
- Click on the Certificates Tab
- Click on the View Certificates Button
- Click on the Servers Tab and remove the expired certificates
Google Chrome Screenshots
Mozilla Firefox Screenshots
Ok, so what is this all about?
From my research, certain sites using HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security) are throwing security alerts upon connection to pages on the domain. In March 2011 an HTTPS/TLS Certificate Authority (CA) was tricked into issuing fraudulent certificates. Patches to the major web browsers blacklisted a number of TLS certificates that were issued after hackers broke into the Certificate Authority. These were high value certs and likely state sponsored cyber-attacks from Iran. Below is the list of domains affected:
- mail.google.com
- www.google.com
- login.yahoo.com
- login.skype.com
- addons.mozilla.org
- login.live.com
- global trustee
The weird thing about this, is my computer wasn't even manufactured in 2011. I purchased it in 2013! There must have been a recent update to either the servers matching the domains above, or to my browsers or operating system a few months ago. Regardless, connecting to the domains in the above list has been problematic with random security warnings and even blockages on my own computer.
Let me know if this fixed the problem for you!
Update: 11/21/2016
This problem has never really gone away. In fact, it drives me nuts! I did find some other things to do to help this go away.... try these steps if you are on windows:
- From the Control Panel, open network and sharing center
- On the left side- click on "Change advanced sharing settings"
- Click on home or work
- Check "turn off" for the first three questions.
Depending on the specifics you may also have to turn on password
NativeScript button event not firing
I spent a bit of time trying to understand why a tap event failed to fire on a button in NativeScript. Here was the original code segments:
Button Code
Tap Event Handler Function
2 var page = args.object;
3 console.log("paydebt");
The intent of this code was to hide the Pay Debt button if there was no debt. In exports.payDebtAction(), there was a call to the view-model to reduce the debt by the appropriate amount. When I ran the code, I did not get any output in the console. Thus, the code to reduce the debt never ran and the button never disappeared from the view.
Using the Throw-Stuff-At-The-Wall method, I eventually removed the visibility attribute from the Button declaration, and handled hiding the button in the code behind file like this:
Tap Event Handler Function
2 var page = args.object;
3 console.log("paydebt");
4 GameViewModel.payDebt();
5 var debt = GameViewModel.get("debt");
6 if( debt < 1){
7 View.getViewById(page, "payDebtButton").visibility='collapse';
8 }
Notice the id attribute on the button. I use that ID to get a reference to the control, then set the visibility property in javascript, not in the view XML. This code works as expected.
I'm not 100% sure what I learned, but perhaps if there is a way to sum it up, is to not try to do so much in the XML layer. The JS layer is a lot more powerful anyways.
Updating from NativeScript 1.4 to NativeScript 1.5
I ran into an issue updating NativeScript 1.4 to NativeScript 1.5. The symptom:
2> node postinstall.js
Basically, after uninstalling and reinstalling NativeScript on Windows 7 (maybe other OS's are affected also), the process would hang at the node postinstall.js. By hang, I mean it was stuck at the above status for 15 minutes. I looked at the source for postinstall.js and nothing specifically stood out to me as potentially the problem. Hat tip to Jen Looper for the suggestion to upgrade Node.js. Upgrading to the latest 4.x fixed the issue for me.
Why were you running an out of date Node.js DAN?
The NativeScript Getting Started Documentation stipulated Node .12 at the time. Since NativeScript has been released, they have updated the documentation to now include Node 4.x.
It is possible a fresh install might work on .12 or an older version of Node, however once I updated to the latest Node Binaries, the install for NativeScript 1.5 finished promptly. If you have issues upgrading to NativeScript 1.5, freshen up your Node.js version and that should take care of it.
Application Upgrade
Another thing I noticed, was a difference in the values in the root package.json for the value "tns-core-modules" was 1.4.0. I manually changed that value to 1.5.0 and the application built and deployed successfully. I'm not sure if you HAVE to do that, but I did it and saw no ill effect.
Before manually changing tns-core-modules
Before I manually changed the value of tns-core-modules, I ran npm install to ensure my dependencies were set correctly. Here is what happened:
2npm WARN package.json @ No description
3npm WARN package.json @ No repository field.
4npm WARN package.json @ No README data
5npm WARN package.json @ No license field.
After manually changing tns-core-modules
2npm WARN package.json @ No description
3npm WARN package.json @ No repository field.
4npm WARN package.json @ No README data
5npm WARN package.json @ No license field.
firstname.lastname@example.com node_modules\tns-core-modules
As you can see from the final line, the tns-core-modules for my specific project were updated to the 1.5.0 version.
The best way to develop and run NativeScript projects in an emulator
I develop NativeScript on Windows. As in most new, shiny technology, developing on Windows has it's quirks. In this post, we'll talk about 3 different ways to run your NativeScript project in an emulator, as well as the pros and cons of each method. I'm also going to use the Android platform. The iOS commands are the same, except for swapping iOS for the keyword android in the command.
All methods assume you have an emulator for your platform, with a device profile created. Additionally, at least on Android, it is necessary to start the device emulator you wish to target using the Android Virtual Device Manager, or some other mechanism.
Basic: tns run android --emulator
Run this command every time you want to push the latest version of your code to the emulator.
- You get to see any console output. This means you can debug your application using console.log("foo") statements and see the output.
- You will stay up to date on your facebook feeds. See Cons below for explanation.
- The console logs are VERY chatty. There are heaps of measurement logging and other things not immediately relevant to the application. The sheer amount of logs, can make it hard to find your output.
- You'll pay a 2 minute tax, at least, waiting on the emulator to get your changes. Change a single character and use this method again? Then you'll pay the 2 minute tax again. (I'm using an SSD laptop with 16GB of RAM.)
- Because of the latency between updates, I am painfully reminded of my poor typing skills.
- If this was the only option to write Native mobile applications, I'd probably decide it wasn't for me and go do something else.
At this stage, I can not see a single positive reason to use tns run android --emulator that can't be achieved with one of the below options. In short, you probably don't want to use the workflow tns run android --emulator. As a stretch, perhaps you need to see the Native logs, like all of the measurement logging. Right now I don't need that, so this method is pointless and masochistic.
Interactive: tns livesync android --emulator --watch
This process watches for source code changes and will automatically build and push the latest version of your code to the emulator.
- The time between making a source code change, and seeing the effect of the change in the emulator, is WAY faster than tns run android --emulator. This is somewhat comparable to running a browser based application.
- I prefer this method when I'm working on layouts, visual changes, or light work inside view-models.
- Did I mention how fast changes are propagated?
- If there is an error, you will get a stack trace on your emulator screen.
- As of NativeScript 1.5, you will see console.log() outputs in your terminal window. YAY!
You get NO console output. All console.log() statements are /dev/null'd.This is no longer true as of {N} 1.5. Console.log() output is streamed to the terminal, without the chattiness of the above method.
If you want more options with how to deal with non-visual logging in NativeScript, write a custom TraceWriter and push the output you want into a frame of your application, or send it over an API or whatever. You can find out more here: tracing-nativescript-applications. Just search for Writing a Custom TraceWriter for an example of your options.
Genymotion: tns debug android --geny "Google Nexus 4 - 5.1.0 - API 22 - 768x1280" --debug-brk
This process watches for source code changes and will automatically build and push the latest version of your code to the emulator and start a debugging session in Google Chrome.
- Changes are propagated quickly, much like tns livesync android --emulator --watch
- You have introspection, breakpoint and other tools using Google Developer Tools.
- From my informal testing, the time to complete the initial build and show the app on the screen is less with Genymotion, than it is with the tns livesync android --emulator --watch process.
- This requires a separate account with Genymotion. There is a free personal account and several paid options.
- No matter what I do, this doesn't work on my platform. It's the albino tiger of debugging. If you can see it working, then you have something special. However, Genymotion never comes out of the cave to perform for me.
Which one should you use?
Once your environment is successfully set up, spend some time to get Genymotion installed. If you can get it working on your system, then you have the Holy Grail of NativeScript debugging. Fast change propagation, interactive debugging, variable inspection and so on. If this does not work for you, then you are probably best served using tns livesync android --emulator --watch. Now that console.log() statements are sent into the terminal, you can debug iteratively, though without the breakpoints and introspection you'd get in a Google Chrome debug session.
Appendix: why doesn't Genymotion work on your platform?
If I knew the answer to that, I wouldn't have been inspired to write this article. I'd just use Genymotion and be happy.
On my system, I can start the Genymotion emulator, connect with a debugging session in Google Chrome and see my application successfully deployed. What does not work is the debugging session. I get the following error in my javascript console:
2ReferenceError: process is not defined
While googling for a resolution, I can see others report a similar issue, however no combination of repudiation steps makes this error go away. Thus, the debugging session is not enabled and I get none of the benefits of using Genymotion.
It is a shame, but I make do with the combination of tns run android --emulator and tns livesync android --emulator --watch as needed.
TNS Build Android Hangs
Occasionally, while running a NativeScript application on android, the process hangs and does not complete. I have not gotten to the bottom of this, but I can tell you how I resolve the issue to continue running my application.
Symptoms - one of these
2Project successfully prepared
3The application with id "org.nativescript.TradeOMatic" is not installed on the device yet.
4Project successfully prepared
2Project successfully prepared
In the above cases, the behavior is the terminal is stuck at the Project successfully prepared status and does nothing. I can watch which binaries are in control of the process, and on Windows, it gets stuck on find.exe.
If the tns livesync android --emulator --watch command hangs, I usually just run tns build android. Usually, this kicks off the build process. If it doesn't, I'll run tns build android again. This almost always works.
If, for some reason, no combination of the commands executed the build process. I remove the Android specific platform processes, then added them again. Example:
2 C:\_web\NativeScript\TradeOMatic>tns platform add android
When the build process runs, you will see a lot of console output. Example:
2execute: copyAarDependencies, addAarDependencies before configuration
3:preBuild UP-TO-DATE
4:preDebugBuild UP-TO-DATE
6:preReleaseBuild UP-TO-DATE
7:prepareComAndroidSupportAppcompatV72311Library UP-TO-DATE
8:prepareComAndroidSupportSupportV42311Library UP-TO-DATE
10:compileDebugAidl UP-TO-DATE
11:compileDebugRenderscript UP-TO-DATE
12:generateDebugBuildConfig UP-TO-DATE
13:deleteJavaDir UP-TO-DATE
14:cleanLocalAarFiles UP-TO-DATE
15:collectAllJars UP-TO-DATE
16:ensureMetadataOutDir UP-TO-DATE
Then the changes made to the application are ready for deployment. You can use your favorite emulator command to push the build. I prefer tns livesync android --emulator --watch because changes are picked up and deployed automatically, significantly reducing the amount of time needed to validate each change on the emulator.
What happens when you choose the wrong Datatype for an Identifier Column
Choosing database column data types can be dicey. Choose an overly large data type, and indexes will be overly large, storage will fill up and other bad things can happen.
Choose an overly small one, and you end up with hard errors.
A common data type for a database identity column is an int. However, if your application gets popular, it can break. Pastebin is a victim of it's own success :)
How to fix a Node.js package error when installing NativeScript
NativeScript is a free open source offering from Telerik allowing mobile development in Javascript with 100% Access to Native Platform APIs in iOS, Android and Windows Phone. With NativeScript, the entire native platform functionality is available in the JavaScript layer. I've finally found the packaging and tooling I want to use to develop native applications in iOS and Android, while using a single language.
I develop in Windows and I love it for my daily work. However, occasionally, using Node.js on windows is a bit more complicated than on other platforms. While following the very comprehensive Getting started guide for NativeScript, I ran in to a sticky issue. Here is the issue and resolution in case it helps you, my weary web traveler friend.
Firstly, the root cause of the error was my fault. Even though the Getting Started Guide stated I needed to install "The latest Node.js 0.10.x or 0.12.x stable official release", I went off-script and installed Node 4.x. Surely this would work, right?
After spending a fair amount of time struggling with the CLI command to install NativeScript, I re-read the install docs and figured out my Node version was not the right version, so I uninstalled Node.js 4.x and installed Node 0.12.x.
After running the installer again, I still ran into issues. Part of the issue was the C++ compiler not being available. The standard way to get a C++ compiler is to install Visual Studio, though through research, I found Microsoft is offering a standalone C++ compiler specifically to help out with node. This comment by Sara Itani, discusses the new compiler, how it was tested and has the links to download what you need.
I applaud the new and improved Microsoft for their work to support the more modern development platforms like Node.
Once I had the compiler installed, I hit another error. This error was caused because the earlier version of Node.js 4.x left some paths out there that no longer resolved. Once I fixed the paths in the \nodejs\nodevars.bat, and ensured they pointed to the current install of Node 0.12.x, I was able to complete the install. Below is an example of the NativeScript install script output before the error.

I backed a Standing Desk Kick Starter
Kickstarter is all the rage, isn't it? As the owner of 3 small businesses, I really like the capabilities kickstarter brings to the table. The ability to fund a project based on merit alone, rather than create and shop a business plan to the venture capital industry, makes a ton of sense. My only complaint is I didn't come up with kickstarter and make it my business before they did.
I've been working from home for 9 years. I find myself to be much more productive when I'm in control of my environment. Coffee is made the way I want, when I want it. I can turn my music up to help me blast through mundane tasks. I can have complete quiet when I need it.
I have had this nagging feeling over the last few years that my desk/chair setup isn't what I need. I have a very hard time maintaining correct posture in a chair. When I need to concentrate, I often sit in very uncomfortable postures that cause pain.
Yeah, so what does this have to do with Kickstarter?
My friend Dan Skaggs turned me on to a kickstarter project that is offering to make a high quality motorized standing desk. I decided it's just what I needed. What I need is a way to get a standing desk the EXACT height I need for a comfortable work environment, and also a way to return the desk to a sitting position when I want.
Also, if I decide standing desks aren't what I need, I can keep it at a sitting height. So no fear of commitment, right?
The project is over the original $50,000 goal by a long shot, so others feel the same way as I do. If everything goes well, I'll have a standing desk shipped to my house by July. It'll take a few weeks for me to get adjusted to working in a standing fashion, but I have some fairly reasonable hopes that if I stand for a portion of the day, I'll be able to solve my bad-posture-under-concentration problem to a reasonable degree.
The Project
Take a look at World's First Smart, Connected Office Desk -- Powered By AI.. They have a smart option, with a phone app, and a regular option without all the electronic whiz, bang capabilities. I chose the regular option because I didn't see the need for all the bells and whistles, when I'm just getting started. After reading more about the capabilities, I may be starting to regret my decision. I am now 50%/50% the smart option would be worth the money for my specific purposes.
I also ordered mine without the table top. I have an idea to make a very cool, custom wood top. For now, I can use glass desk top I have now.
Really, in a nutshell, I'm out $348 for a motorized standing desk (with no top) shipped to my house. That's a pretty good deal and is a lot more cost effective than the other standing desks out there that often cost over $1,000.
Once I get the desk, set it up and work through my initial growing pains, I'll post on my thoughts.

Miller made his first four shots of the game and finished a perfect 11-of-11 from the charity stripe.
Kellen Thornton and Jordan Cyphers also finished in double-figures for Tennessee State (7-7, 1-0 OVC) with 16 and 14 points, respectively. Cyphers, Miller and Thornton combined for 80 percent of TSU's 40 shots.
Thornton also had a game-high 10 rebounds for his third double-double of the season.
EIU won the opening tip, but TSU started the game on a 6-0 run that was sparked by a pair of buckets from Thornton. The Panthers answered with a three, but Cyphers returned the favor at the 17:53 mark to put the Tigers up, 9-3.
Cyphers hit another jumper from downtown with under eight minutes to go in the half and then canned his third of the game on TSU's following possession. The offensive flurry put the Tigers in the lead, 24-10, and forced Eastern Illinois (3-11, 0-1 OVC) to use its first timeout of the half.
Cyphers went into the locker room with a half-high 11 points on 3-of-7 shooting. All of his attempts were from beyond the arc.
TSU maintained its double-digit lead for the remainder of the period and went into halftime sporting a 32-19 lead. Eastern Illinois' 19 first half points were the least by any Tennessee State opponent this season.
The Tigers shot 52.4 percent during the opening stanza, but it was TSU's defense that allowed the home team to take such a large lead. Big Blue only allowed EIU to shoot 26.1 percent in half one and the Panthers only pulled down one offensive board.
TSU picked up where it left off after halftime and a coast-to-coast layup by M.J. Rhett with 16:30 left in the game gave his squad a 19-point lead- its biggest of the contest.
However for the next eight minutes, the Panthers mounted a comeback that included a 6-0 run to put EIU within 10. Miller finally stopped the bleeding with a jumper, making the score 49-37.
Later, a three pointer by EIU's Taylor Jones trimmed the Tiger lead to six with fewer than four minutes remaining in the game.
Cyphers finally put the nail in the coffin with his only three of the second half at the 2:23 mark, making the score 59-49. EIU tried to claw back into the game, and even got within four, but TSU hung on for a 67-59 win.
TSU was outscored 35-40 during the second half, but Miller's 20 points in period two allowed the Tigers to move to .500.
TSU will next travel to Tennessee Tech on Jan. 3 for the team's second conference game of the season. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m.
Note: Robert Covington missed his second consecutive game with an injury to his right knee. The diagnosis is officially a tear to his meniscus, which will cause him to miss 4-6 weeks. The last time that Covington did not start consecutive games was Nov. 30, 2009.

MEng Electrical and Electronic Engineering
Take your study to integrated Master's level with an industrial placement and advanced technical modules in this professionally accredited degree.
Key information
4 years
Minimum entry
Three A-level offer: A* A A
Applications : admissions ratio
7 : 1
Based on 2019 entry data
- UCAS course code: H604
- Start date: October 2021
- Department: Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering
- Campus: South Kensington
Electrical and electronic engineers are at the forefront of the challenge to connect our world; to design and build more efficient and affordable technology; to provide a robust and green energy network; and to help us live better, healthier, smarter and more sustainably.
It's a discipline which impacts on almost every area of our lives, including communications, commerce, entertainment, manufacturing, healthcare, transport, energy and the environment.
Study programme
Years one and two follow a core programme covering the fundamentals of electrical and electronic engineering in areas such as analogue and digital electronics, communication and control, alongside mathematics and computing modules.
You will learn to analyse and optimise systems by modelling them. You will also focus on programming, with the chance to use the latest computing technologies.
In your third year, you tailor your degree to fit your interests and choose from a number of advanced topics that broaden and deepen the material covered in years one and two. You choose from a range of advanced subjects in electrical and electronic engineering.
MEng students have the option to complete a six-month industrial placement, gaining valuable skills and experience by solving real engineering problems. Alternatively, you can take part in a three-month group project, acting as technical consultants to a brief provided by an industrial client. This involves specifying and designing, implementing and testing a pre-production prototype of a new product or technical solution.
The fourth and final year of the integrated Master's course offers a wide choice of advanced modules based on state-of-the-art research carried out in the Department. Studying to this level means that graduates require fewer years of work experience to become a Chartered Engineer (see Professional accreditation).
Further business, language and humanities modules are available, and you can also participate in the Inter-Department Exchange (IDX) scheme, which allows you to take a module from another engineering department.
The most important part of your final year is the individual project. It allows you to implement the technical information assimilated over the course of your degree, and develop novel approaches to present-day problems.
Engineers are innovators and problem solvers – you need practical skills, planning, time management and the ability to work as part of a team.
You'll start developing your engineering skills through a structured programme of project work from your first year, with a group project to establish the basics of the engineering design process.
You begin by deconstructing a simple electronic toy and using a circuit simulation program to understand how it works. You then propose and design some enhancements to the toy and try them in the circuit simulator. Finally, you build your chosen design and test it in competition with other groups.
Group projects in your second and third year let you investigate the technical, social and financial aspects of products and services, and how to design, build and test them.
You will also have weekly classes in the electrical and computer laboratories to gain valuable practical experience.
By your final year you'll be fully equipped to demonstrate all your knowledge, skills and innovation in a large and ambitious individual project. This project is the most important single piece of work in your degree programme, giving you the chance to demonstrate independence and originality, and to plan and organise a large project.
Transfer between courses
The common first and second years of our Electrical and Electronic Engineering courses mean that transfer between streams is usually possible up until the end of your second year; or third year for the Year Abroad option.
- Transfer from the BEng to the MEng stream is conditional upon meeting specified academic criteria (such as a certain minimum grade in Year 2 Mathematics).
- Transfer from MEng to Year Abroad is made during Year 3
- You must normally be achieving marks of 65% and above at the time of selection to be eligible for the Year Abroad course.
There is no benefit in applying to more than one course in this Department so you should only apply to one. If you are unsure which to choose, you have the option to transfer to another course within the Department during the first year, though you will need to meet the original requirements of the course you are transferring to.
If you wish to transfer from an Electrical and Electronic Engineering degree to a degree in Electronic and Information Engineering you need to do so by the start of the first year.
If you are an international student, transferring to a different course could have an impact on your Tier 4 visa. Please visit our International Student Support webpage for further information.

Free Market Lessons from Contraception Fight
The Obama administration's decision to require religious-based employers to include birth control coverage in their employee health plans has spawned a heated debate. Catholic employers object to being compelled to cover medical services they consider immoral. This has resulted in acrimonious debates over religious freedom, reproductive freedom, and even Rush Limbaugh's bad language.
The controversy has also made apparent three lessons about America's current health care system and why we need free-market health care reforms.
1) Health insurance should be uncoupled from employment.
The contraceptive coverage problem arises because most people with private health insurance receive it as a job benefit. Most Americans now take this for granted. But consider how odd it would be to receive, say, auto or homeowner insurance from our workplace.
The current system of employer-based health insurance is an artifact of federal tax rules from World War II. When the U.S. government imposed wartime wage and price controls, employers could no longer compete for workers by offering higher salaries. Instead, they competed to offer more generous fringe benefits such as health insurance. In 1943, the IRS ruled that employees did not have to pay taxes on health insurance paid for by employers, and the IRS made this permanent in 1954.
This law permanently distorted the health insurance market in favor of employer-based plans. If an employer pays $100 for health insurance with pre-tax dollars, the employee enjoys the full benefit. But if the employer pays that $100 as salary, the worker will only be able to purchase $50-70 of insurance after federal, state, and Social Security taxes. Over time, this tax disparity allowed employer-based health insurance to dominate the private insurance market. In 2008, over 90% of non-elderly Americans with private insurance received it through their workplace.
Hence, most workers don't own their own health insurance in the same way that they own their auto or homeowners insurance. Employers generally decide which health plans their workers receive. When workers change jobs, they must almost always also change health plans. U.S. tax law thus artificially injects employers into decisions about employees' health benefits. In contrast, note how employers need not become involved with their workers' choices of auto or homeowner insurance.
2) Mandated benefits will become political footballs.
The current controversy arose from the government mandating coverage of contraceptives. But this problem is not isolated to contraceptives. Rather, any mandated health insurance benefit could ignite a similar political firestorm.
For instance, Massachusetts requires insurers to cover in vitro fertilization, a procedure recently condemned by the pope. Should Massachusetts Catholics be compelled to pay for others' in vitro fertilizations despite their religious objections?
Under any system of mandatory insurance (such as in Massachusetts), the government must necessarily specify what constitutes an acceptable policy. This creates a giant magnet for special interest groups seeking to include their own favorite benefits in the mandatory package.
As Michael Cannon noted in 2009:
In the three years since Massachusetts enacted its individual mandate, providers successfully lobbied to require 16 specific types of coverage under the mandate. ... The Massachusetts Legislature is considering more than 70 additional requirements.
Under ObamaCare, this special-interest feeding frenzy will expand nationwide. At a 2011 Dept. of Health and Human Services "listening session" to help determine the mandated "essential benefits" package, special interest groups openly lobbied for numerous benefits, including:
* Expanded services for autism and phenylketonuria
* Coverage for "eating coaches"
* Expanded coverage for HIV testing
* Coverage for medical nutrition therapy, especially for the African-American population
Mandatory benefits thus allow those with sufficient political influence to compel others to subsidize their favored medical expenses. Yes, it's wrong to compel Catholics to pay for others' birth control. But it's equally wrong to compel women to pay for prostate cancer checks, or teetotalers to pay for alcoholism treatments they do not wish for and will never use.

Latest News
Massa underwent therapy to overcome slump
Felipe Massa has admitted that he sought therapy to help him through the slump in from that has seen him post a string of dismal results, his last podium being over two years ago. The news came on the same day that it was revealed Mark Webber enlisted similar assistance in the form of a sports psychologist to help him in the aftermath of being comprehensively outpaced by Sebastian Vettel in 2011.
13 July 2012 - Source
fernando Fernando Alonso
Well done Massa, so you're paying some knob to brainwash you into thinking you're good. Looks like it's working given you're averaging 2.5 points per race.
massa Felipe Massa
Oh piss off Fernando, you can't bully me anymore, my therapist is giving me techniques to recover my speed.
fernando Fernando Alonso
I'm sure we can get you some speed but you might end up failing a drugs test. By the way I've been paying somebody myself to brainwash some sense into you, he goes by the name of Rob Smedley. His mantra is "Fernando is faster than you".
Domenicali Stefano Domenicali
Please Fernando, we must do all we can to help our brother Felipe. It hurts us that he had to enlist help from outside his Ferrari family, but we hope we can make things beautiful for him again.
Montezuma Luca di Montezemolo
Silence mortals, let my words strike fear in your hearts like the volcano spits fire into the heavens. The court of Marnanello will permit no witch-doctors to affect our charioteers. The child Massa will suffice until one worthy to touch the fleece of the golden one Alonso is found.
fernando Fernando Alonso
Do not worry my Emperor, given the disgrace Felipe has brought the team it is clear that whatever doctor is helping him is about as competent as Conrad Murray.
mschumi Michael Schumacher
Well Webber, true Aussie grit there, you're really maintaining the legacy of tough guys from Down Under, except you're more Jason Donovan than Alan Jones.
Williams Frank Williams
Not half Michael, Jonesie was almost as hard a bastard as myself, he had guts to spare, quite literally as it happens.
wibbah Mark Webber
Fair dinkum guys, Seb was making me look like a flamin galah, I had to do something.
Horner Christian Horner
Frankly Mark, while enlisting the help of a sports pschologist is a very modern, and therefore "very Red Bull" thing to do, Adrian and I have discussed it and come to the conclusion that while this may be of benefit to the pilot of the sister car, it has actually had an adverse effect on perfect Seb's championship chances.
wibbah Mark Webber
The quack told me I didn't have to be a number two Christian, and I've won twice as many races as Seb this year, and I'm ahead of him in the title race.
Horner Christian Horner
The extraneous influence of this psychologist may go some way to explaining the anomalous results this year which have seen our adversaries conspire to end our rightful dominance. In fact, Red Bull management have not ruled out the possibility that the psychologist has been planted by a rival team to derail Seb's title charge.
fernando Fernando Alonso
You might need some therapy for that paranoia yourself Horner. So my former teammate Massa, and the guy who could have replaced him, are both in therapy. Looks like we should start watching Dr. Phil to find the next Ferrari driver.
wibbah Mark Webber
Actually Fernando, don't tell Christian but apart from the mental stuff I'm feeling a bit crook. I fell off me bike again last week, dinged my bloody brainstem so I get a bit lightheaded in fast corners.
sbstnvtl Sebastian Vettel
Maybe you should have got a sports "cycle-ologist" Mark to keep you on your bike. Ha ha ha! Yes! That's what I am talking about. Yabba-dabba-dooooooooooooo!
Bernie Bernie Ecclestone
These lads have gone a bit soft in head haven't they, all this psycho babble stuff is a waste of time, and worse, money. What these over-sensitive ponces really need is a good kick up the arse, sort them out in no time.
JV Jacques Villeneuve
Controversial Jacques is going to stick his neck on the line and echo Bernie's comments. If all these guys are getting therapy we may possibly end up with a grid of pathetic cry-babies compared to the hard men of previous eras.
mschumi Michael Schumacher
You'd know all about pathetic, and shaving your head doesn't make you a hard man you twat. Actually speaking of hard nuts, I heard your music has been put to use for inmates on Death Row in the States.
JV Jacques Villeneuve
I have always believed in the redemptive power of my music Michael, I hope being exposed to my songs has helped those prisoners to rehabilitate themselves.
mschumi Michael Schumacher
Not exactly... once they started piping your musical vomit into their cells they were all asking for "early release", so to speak. George Bush is thinking of nominating you for a special award for clearing the backlog.

Judge urged to dismiss suit on San Francisco nudity ban
SAN FRANCISCO – San Francisco's city attorney is urging a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit seeking to overturn the city's recently approved nudity ban.
The San Francisco Chronicle reports Dennis Herrera responded Thursday to the complaint filed by nudity activists who say the ordinance violates their constitutional rights.
The ban was approved by the Board of Supervisors this month and is scheduled to take effect Feb. 1. It bars nudity in public places, with exceptions at events like the Bay to Breakers race and the Folsom Street Fair.
Herrera says many municipalities have bans on public nudity and their constitutionality has been repeatedly affirmed by federal courts.
An attorney for the plaintiffs says there are many laws in other parts of the country that wouldn't be tolerated in San Francisco.

Articles › Visual/Perf Arts
Higher Ed Aztec Art by Janice Robertson
This VoiceThread shows what can happen when VoiceThreads are woven into a 500-level graduate/undergraduate seminar on Aztec Art, and everyone has the ability to see what everyone else is doing--a surprise ending turns out to be a game-changer.
The VoiceThreads within this seminar project are not supposed to function in standalone terms as presentations, they hold conversations--open within the framework of the seminar.
Students created their own VoiceThreads. They were open to "viewing" and "commenting" by everyone in the seminar from start to finish. Owners could extend "editing" privileges at their discretion.
Two in-class computer labs were conducted in conjunction with this assignment. The labs created opportunities for students to collaborate with each other, with me, and with Art Reference Librarian, Cheryl Costello, on research questions that occurred to them as they were working on their VoiceThreads. Cheryl also followed the VoiceThreads online--and added another dimension to the labs by bringing print books from the library that students might want to consult--this was a big hit!
Each student was asked to: visit one of three local museums with collections of Aztec art, find one or more objects of Aztec art that interested them, photograph the object(s), create their own VoiceThread, upload their photographs--and develop an online conversation around those objects. Students were also required to contribute substantive comments to three VoiceThreads other than their own.
One objective of this assignment was to promote multimedia investigations and conversations around pre-Columbian art objects, in sympathy with the primarily oral cultures that produced these objects, also in sympathy with the secondary orality of present-day digital natives.
Another objective was to promote insights into print media and written texts (staples within the discipline of art history), based on experiences gained from working outside of print media. This is an old idea: see Marshall McLuhan, Understanding Media (1964). What is new is that VoiceThread technology takes it out of the realm of theory and makes it do-able in the classroom, this is anticipated in: George Landow, Hypertext: The Convergence of Contemporary Critical Theory and Technology (1992).
The seminar concluded with a written essay: to be constructed out of the "most significant material and/or ideas" gained from the course. Students subsequently reported that they hadn't realized what VoiceThread was doing for them until it was "taken away"--this writing assignment clinched it.
Another cloud application: MediaThread, solves a problem raised by students in conjunction with this project: They want VoiceThread's collaborative, conversational and brainstorming environment. They want VoiceThread's tools for enaging directly with visual material. Without giving any of these things up, they also want to be able to connect the dots and "write" linear text in order to hone their ideas.
MediaThread is an open-source platform launched in Fall 2010, and under development at Columbia University. It establishes links with: (a) institution specific media sources, such as ARTstor (according to the holdings, affiliations and subscriptions of a given institution), and (b) public media sources, such as YouTube and Flicker. Within this linked network, MediaThread enables users to annotate, tag, organize--and "write" about the linked media--that's the "thread." Embedded in the electronic "thread" of text are "links" that open multimedia sources in adjacent windows--so the thread produces "hypertext." MediaThread also offers an complete range of options for sharing and collaborating along the way.
If you think you might want to share your students' work: with other educators at your institution, with the VoiceThread Digital Library, or in conference presentations, be sure to ask for written permission for each of these venues. I take advantage of the student evaluations procedure to accomplish this. I explain what I am asking for, then leave the room. My own "Request For Permissions" form is passed out, students complete it, it is collected in a separate envelope--and delivered to an administrator who will wait until I have submitted grades before releasing it to me.
When I create VoiceThreads for class projects, my name appears in the "by" line at the top of the VoiceThread. I use the "description" field to create a "by" line with student names, but this listing remains subsidiary. I asked students to create their own VoiceThreads for this project, so they would be identified as owners of their own work, but I needed editing privileges for management purposes. The hardest part was getting students to give me editing privileges in their VoiceThreads. This required additional effort on my part.
My advice to other educators who might want to replicate this project is to wait patiently before you jump in, and listen carefully to your students before you speak.
Feedback on the last day of seminar and in the final written essays was especially striking. One student reported that, when we switched from VoiceThreads to the written essays for the final assignment, she all of a sudden "felt isolated"--heads nodded throughout the class, and a rousing discussion ensued. Another student grappled with VoiceThread experiences in the final essay, concluding that:"After reverting to paper writing...I realized the benefits inherent in VoiceThreads and understood the barriers formalized papers have in analyzing visual objects. I really would like to see VoiceThread being used in other art history classes to bring out ideas that might be hidden by traditional classroom conventions."

The term "marriage strike" refers to young men in Western countries deciding to not get married, due to high divorce rates (50% in the U.S., and as high as 75% in California, which is not included in the U.S. average). A perception that marriage is a financial disaster for men, especially during divorce settlements, is generally believed to be driving the marriage strike phenomenon.

K. Yu et. al.
Physical Review Letters (to appear)
A new semiconductor material could lead to solar cells with efficiencies up to 56%, a huge improvement over current solar cells, which convert only about 30% of light into power. In standard solar cells, light absorbed by the cell is converted to power by knocking loose an electron, allowing current to flow. Based on the properties of the particular semiconductor material used in the cell, the light must have a certain amount of energy, called the band gap, to knock an electron loose. Light with lower energy will not be absorbed; light with higher energy will be absorbed, but the extra energy will be wasted. The new material, a ZnMnTe crystal with added oxygen impurities, has three band gaps instead of one, and thus takes advantage of a much larger range of the solar energy spectrum. The researchers synthesized the material using a novel technique called oxygen ion implantation and pulsed laser melting. Adjusting the amount of oxygen in the material varies the band gap to optimize power conversion.

2) 1000 times faster magnetic memory devices
A. Melnikov et. al.
Physical Review Letters (to appear)
Magnetic data storage devices could soon speed up by a factor of 1000. While these devices have greatly increased in density in recent years, the speed at which they write information is still determined by the time required to switch a magnet. A new paper suggests achieved that time can be significantly reduced. The authors found that on Gadolinium, a ferromagnetic metal, atomic vibrations couple to magnetization almost instantaneously, allowing much faster data storage at up to THz frequencies.

3) Name-dropping and self-promotion pay off
M. Rosvall and K. Sneppen
Physical Review Letters (print issue: 24 October 2003)
Correctness is not as important as communication. That's a key finding from a new model of the Internet and other social and biological networks. The authors model society as a network of individuals, all trying to adjust their connections to get as close as possible to the center of the network. The authors find that where local communication is strong, the society tends to organize around a stable central hub, but when local communication is weak, chaos ensues. For an individual trying to be the center of attention, success comes from sharing the information one has about the position and connections of others, even if that information is incorrect. Surprisingly, having correct information barely improved an individual's status at all.

4) Quantum Mirrors
D. Clougherty
Physical Review Letters (to appear)
A cold atom can never get close enough to a surface to stick. This strange "quantum reflection" effect, explored in a new paper, is a result of the wave nature of the atom. While classical mechanics predicts that cold particles always stick to a surface, quantum mechanics predicts that they almost never do. The author shows that in some cases the probability of sticking is even lower than previously thought. In addition to being theoretically interesting, the phenomenon could be important in atomic mirrors or other "atom optics," atom trap experiments, and atomic clocks.

5) Negative friction from intermolecular force
A. Cohen and S. Mukamel
Physical Review Letters (to appear)
A force that acts between molecules can create negative friction, making molecules speed up when passing each other instead of slowing down. Though this van der Waals force is usually attractive, a new study shows that it may become repulsive if the interacting molecules are in excited states, or if they are out of thermodynamic equilibrium. This results in a greatly reduced, or even negative, friction. The study also found that the van der Waals force, typically considered the weakling of intermolecular forces, can become up to 50 times stronger under these non-equilibrium conditions. The theory may be applicable to cells, which run on interactions between chemically excited molecules, and in photosynthesis, in which optically excited molecules interact. The researchers also suggest the phenomenon may be useful in design of micromechanical systems and may lead to new ways to control matter on the nanoscale.

Sneaky spy shots of BMW's carbon-fibre hybrid car have surfaced from Scandinavia's icy plains, showing a lean profile and superb handling in tough conditions. That'll come in handy for Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible character, who is due to drive it in The Ghost Protocol.
While the i8 won't hit showrooms until 2013, it's said BMW has foregone the diesel and will use gasoline - as well as running on electric power. CNET has said it's based on BMW's Vision EfficientDynamics concept car, which weighs 1395kg and has a fuel economy of 32km/L and 356hp total power. It's said to be able to zoom from 0 to 100km/h in just five seconds and has a top speed of 248km/h.
As for the price, well... expect somewhere in the region of $US242,600. [BimmerPost via Car Magazine and The Reg]


text: The ROTC Program of Morris College has a varied history in South Carolina. It closed at the Coastal Carolina College in 1984 at which time USC PMS began the search for a new host school. In the spring of 1985, it contacted Morris College. Soon after, in June of 1985, the Cross-Enrollment Agreement was signed between USC and Morris. Since that time, Morris College has operated much like an Extension Center of USC. Upon the signing of the contract, 54 cadets were commissioned.
