Globalization and Health: A Framework for Analysis and Action(*)
Woodward, David, Drager, Nick, Beaglehole, Robert, Lipson, Debra, Bulletin of the World Health Organization
Voit page 880 le resume en francais. En la pagina 880 figura un resumen en espanol.
Globalization is one of the key challenges facing health policy-makers and public health practitioners (1-3). Although there is a growing literature on the importance of globalization for health (4, 5), there is no consensus either on the pathways and mechanisms through which globalization affects the health of populations or on the appropriate policy responses. There is, however, an increasing tension between the new rules, actors and markets that characterize the modern phase of globalization and the ability of countries to protect and promote health.
This paper proposes a framework for understanding and analysing the economic aspects of globalization and their impacts on health. While health is a complex outcome and the processes of globalization are far from straightforward, we make the case that an explicit framework for research can advance the formulation of appropriate health policy and enable researchers to place their research in the context of a useful model. Presented also is a set of broad objectives for action at the national and international levels for the protection and promotion of health in the context of globalization, particularly for poor populations.
This paper has three key themes. Firstly, that an agreed analytical framework is essential for a reliable assessment of the health effects of globalization, the development of a research agenda, and appropriate policy responses. Secondly, that the indirect effects of globalization operating through the national and household economies are important for health outcomes, as well as the more obvious and direct effects on health risks and health systems. Thirdly, that the effects of globalization will be optimized only when improvements in health and well-being become central objectives of national economic policy-making and the design and management of the international economic system.
Economic globalization: an overview
Economic globalization has been the fundamental driving force behind the overall process of globalization over the last two decades. It has been characterized both by a dramatic growth in the volume of cross-border flows and by major changes in their nature. International trade has grown at an accelerating pace -- nearly 8.6% per year over the period 1990-99 -- with the proportion accounted for by services increasing steadily, reaching nearly 19% in 1999 (6, 7). Financial flows from developed to developing countries have increased much more dramatically over the last decade, more than recovering from the post-debt crisis slump of the 1980s. At one time mostly consisting of aid and commercial loans to governments, these financial flows now go overwhelmingly to the private sector and are dominated by investments in productive capacity by transnational companies and in shares bought by institutional investors (8). However, this transformation has largely bypassed low-income countries,(a) most of which remain critically dependent on aid flows. These aid flows are only now beginning a slow recovery after years of decline, and in 2000 remained 16% below their 1991 levels despite a temporary boost as a result of the Asian financial crisis. Total net official development finance (including non-concessional loans) fell still further, from a peak of US$ 60.9 billion in 1991 to an estimated US$ 38.6 billion in 2000, an overall decline of 37% (10).
These changes in cross-border flows reflect, and were preceded by, a considerable opening of economies, particularly in developing countries, through the lowering of trade barriers, removal of capital controls, and liberalization of foreign exchange restrictions. This opening occurred largely in response to International Monetary Fund and World Bank programmes, and, in the case of trade, has been consolidated by the Uruguay Round Agreements of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) which established the World Trade Organization (WTO). …

Katrina's gulf coast devastation, will it spread misery our way in terms of insurance rate increases?
Jeffrey Grady, President/CEO, FL Association of Insurance Agents, said, "Unfortunately, the events of this magnitude affect more than just the place where the storm comes ashore. Companies buy insurance themselves."
Insurance companies buy what is called re-insurance and that is where the possible rate hikes come in.
Re-insurance can cause a domino effect that trickles down to the homeowners.
But no need to panic, although agents say homeowners can expect to see a rate increase, insurance agencies say hikes are not caused by the damage of just one storm.
If insurance companies need to make rate adjustments they must seek those through the office of insurance regulations.

ET NOW caught up with ace investor Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, partner, Rare Enterprises, for his take on the markets and what will drive the Indian equities further. Edited excerpts:
What is your take on the current situation of the market?
There is hope on the street that the government will finally act. Interest rates worldwide are at extremely low levels. So, money being cheap, there is some kind of confidence in Europe that at least no country is going to leave the Eurozone for the next six months. China is expected to grow better and the American economy is also showing signs of recovery. Back home, the market is anticipating that the interest rate cycle has turned. We are going to have lots of interest rate cuts next year. Despite pessimism, the market has been performing extremely well with very good breadth, and all technical indicators are positive.

Hilo man charged with 2 murders wants new lawyer
By Associated Press
HILO, Hawaii (AP) A Hilo man accused of a double-homicide is refusing to return to court if he continues being represented by a public defender.
Sean Ivan Masa Matsumoto says he wants a new lawyer because he feels he's not getting adequate representation.
Hilo Circuit Judge Greg Nakamura denied the motion to replace Deputy Public Defender Jeffrey Ng.
Ng couldn't immediately be reached for comment.
Matsumoto is charged with murder and other crimes in the shotgun killings of his 45-year-old girlfriend Rhonda Lynn Alohalani Ahu and her 74-year-old mother Elaine Ahu.
Nakamura says indigent criminal defendants must show good cause in order to replace an attorney.
Hawaii Tribune-Herald reports Nakamura says he'll see if Matsumoto shows up for a hearing on Monday.

Todd Eaton allowed two runs in six innings of work and took a no-decision after he left in line for the win.
April 12, 2014
CARBONDALE, Ill. – Southern Illinois surrendered three runs in the final two innings to lose 5-4 to Indiana State Saturday afternoon at Itchy Jones Stadium. The second-straight one-run game evened the series between the Salukis (18-16, 3-5 MVC) and the Sycamores (22-10, 6-5 MVC).
SIU stranded six runners in scoring position in the first five innings and couldn't hold onto a two-run lead in the eighth inning.
"We can't hit when it counts, and our pitchers can't perform late in the game when it counts," SIU Coach Ken Henderson said. "It was the hitters early and the pitchers late."
Southern Illinois brought in closer Tyler Dray to maintain a 4-3 advantage heading to the ninth inning. The normally reliable closer allowed two runs off three hits in the inning to blow his first save in six chances this season. After striking out the first batter he faced, Dray allowed back-to-back singles to Derek Hannahs and Landon Curry. Cody Zimmerman then singled to right field to tie the game at 4-4, and Jacob Hayes followed with a well placed bunt to score Curry from third.
After rallying for two two-out runs in the 13th inning Friday night, SIU could not get anything going in the bottom of the ninth on Saturday. Josh Dove finished the game for Indiana State to complete four scoreless innings and earn his second win of the season.
ISU had cut the Saluki lead to 4-3 in the top of the eighth inning. Derek Fogel began the inning for SIU. After issuing a leadoff walk, he struck out Hayes and Mike Fitzgerald before surrendering back-to-back singles to allow a run.
While the go-ahead run came in the ninth inning, clutch hitting was the difference throughout the game. The Sycamores scored four of their five runs with two outs. Meanwhile with runners in scoring position, SIU went 2 for 13 and grounded into three inning-ending double plays.
SIU had the leadoff man on base in four of the first five innings but could not take advantage.
"The biggest part of the ballgame was the first four or five innings," Henderson said. "We should've had eight or 10 runs. We could've had four or five runs without even getting a base hit. All we had to do was hit a ground ball in the middle of the field when we had runners at third with less than two outs."
The Salukis appeared to take control of the game with four runs in the bottom of the sixth to take a 4-2 lead. The first seven batters of the inning reached base. Ryan Casillas, Cody Daily and Jake Hand began the inning with three-consecutive singles to load the bases and knock ISU starter Brad Lombard out of the game.
Reliever Nick Kolarik hit Matt Jones to force in a run and make it a 2-1 game. Tyler Rolland followed with a two-run single to left, which put SIU in front, 3-2. Kolarik departed the game after he hit Will Farmer to reload the bases. Jake Welch then drew a bases loaded walk to force in Jones and extend the lead to 4-2 with still nobody out. However, the inning ended with a popout and a double play with the bases still loaded.
"That was a huge momentum shift," Rolland said of the four-run sixth inning. "We scored four there, but we're right there to win games. We just have to get a couple more runs across to finish it off."
ISU's late offensive surge spoiled a solid outing from Saluki starter Todd Eaton. The senior allowed a two-out RBI hit in the first and third innings as Indiana State took a 2-0 lead. Eaton then settled in to retired 13 of the last 16 batters he faced.
"The first couple innings, I was behind a lot," Eaton said. "Later in the game, I got ahead of guys, and then I could throw my pitch, which leads to more success than throwing something that they know is coming."
After splitting the first two games, SIU will try to take the series with the finale set for 1 p.m. on Sunday at Itchy Jones Stadium.

text: A few days ago I noticed itunes occasionally garbling the sound of a song for a few seconds..and then it clears up. It doesn't do it all the time...just every now and then. It does it whether I am on a dial up connection or whether I am using my dsl or wireless connection. At first, I thought it might be the dial up that I have to use sometimes during the day. My system seems to be spyware and virus free and it is scanned regularly. Anyone else have this problem and maybe a solution? Btw, it is a pc that is running the latest version of itunes.

First stop this morning...the doctor. I left my "sample" for the nutritionist and was then whisked off to the doc who helps with my knee. It was tired today, but nothing like I've had in the past. I mentioned to him a spot on my right foot that hurt randomly and it was a pressure point. For me it was tied to my thyroid so he worked his "magic" for a time. Will go back next week after all so he can check on this. Then I headed to see the nutrition doc to go over my lab report and found that it was perfect. It showed that my body is doing what it is supposed to and that I am doing what I'm supposed to. Yeah!
Once home we got some school accomplished and then I took Isaac to his counseling appointment. While he was with his counselor I met with Maegann's to tell her that she was taking a break. This break will probably be permanent, but can always get her back on the list if needed. Then I met with Isaac's guy after their session and found out that Isaac is being totally deceptive with him. He is telling him that he is doing things that are not true and when asked about his anger he told him that he hasn't been getting angry for a long time. Can we say...try yesterday? I had slipped the counselor a note about the anger being very close to the surface and more often. I left with a feeling that this is another activity that needs to come to an end. Tim and I need to discuss again after the kids are in bed.
Spent time this afternoon researching health insurance and haven't accomplished anything. Ours is going up about $200 in January which is ridiculous. Naturally I couldn't even get onto the new "affordable healthcare" sites to at least see what they are offering.
It was off to bible study after supper and that was a fun time. Now we are watching our tape of Biggest Loser and even though it seems like they are on super speed now that they have one hour instead of two, I actually like it because things aren't so drawn out. Glad they've spent time really revamping the show.
Tomorrow will be busy day. We have a field trip to the pumpkin patch with co-op at 11, going to Build-a-Bear afterwards (probably around 1:00) and then Isaac has group therapy at 3.

I'll keep you & yours in my prayers.
It generally takes boys a little longer than girls to really open up to counselors. If your hubby is up to it, perhaps he can spend some bonding time with your son and teach him to verbally communicate more. Can they play ball together? I've noticed that boys talk more after they've engaged in some physical activity with the adult.

Janet - glad everything is going in the right direction for you - it does sound like it is time for both kids to take a break from therapy. I remember years ago when my younger brothr was in therapy and he just told them what they wanted to hear. Sounds like issaac is doing that.

Glad to hear all the appointments went well yesterday. Sorry to hear about Isaac's deception. Hopefully you can get that all figured out.
I know what you mean about Biggest Loser. I'm bummed that it's only an hour, but it didn't seem as drawn out. I still think it will be a good season!

Shourie said.
It depends on the outcome of elections, he said, to a query whether early elections may help the country get itself out of the corner it is in.
Shourie also indicated that he was less inclined towards Nobel laureate Amartya Sens emphasis on subsidies for redistribution and more towards economist Jagadish Bhagwatis view that economic growth should precede redistribution for welfare.
I am certainly against expenditures being advocated by Sen. Subsidies to the rich should be stopped. It doesnt mean entitlement to more unproductive susbisides. I am more inclined towards him (Bhagwati) than Sen, Shourie conceded.
In addition to fiscal discipline, Shourie suggests restoring investors confidence through a series of actions to revive the economy.
The second thing that must be done is to restore investor confidence through specific policy announcements that should include a no to retrospective taxation, regulatory clearances once granted will not be rescinded to avoid a repeat of Vedanta, Lavasa, and Posco etc, litigation should be curtailed like if there is any contest, the government should contest vehemently up to high court level, but if it loses in the high court they should leave it at that or such announcements indicating a reversal of the last five years policies, he said.
Shourie dismissed attempts at restoring investor confidence through moves such as relaxing FDI limits for retail and insurance. These are non-issues. They (foreign investors) are not going to come in these situations, he said.

Though I had registered and designed the site nearly a year ago, I hadn't been driven enough to actually post until today. Why now? As you can see from the photo of my laptop screen, the damaged LCD eerily mirrors the broken window in the banner. That crack appeared only this past weekend when I accidentally dropped my laptop a mere two feet. A premonition, perhaps? Suddenly I remembered the image I created as it matches how I see the world online.
To be honest, originally I debated whether or not to show the shards of glass. After all, I have nothing against birds (except pigeons). Though I do have a problem with technology laughing at you when it is partially to blame, as light guns are not... really... very accurate. Sadly they don't work on most modern flat screen TVs or projectors, either. I guess not every NES game can have 20 years of replay value, though Nintendo has certainly tried to repackage their original games about that many times.

PanelPicker is open for submissions for only one more week, so get your proposals in while you still can! Today in our penultimate case study we are going to review a panel session from the 2014 conference.
Last year we received a PanelPicker submission from Matthew Mills entitled, How Not To Produce Movies. This submission immediately jumped out, with a diverse selection of speakers as well as an interesting approach to the subject matter. Submissions looking at how NOT to do something, or at how something failed can be just as enlightening as a proposal about how something else found success.
Remember, PanelPicker will be open for public submissions until July 25th. If you do not already have an account, it's free and you can create one here. Also, you can find an archive of our previous case studies here. We look forward to receiving your submissions, and if you have any questions about the PanelPicker process feel free to e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

March 5, 2010
Good Morning,
March is shaping up to be an exciting month at Tulane, one jam-packed with community events and appearances by some of the nation's most thought-provoking speakers. Below are just a few of the highlights.
Today at 2 p.m., the lobby of Tulane Medical Center will be filled with young patients cheering on more than 100 Tulane medical students and volunteers as they shave their heads in support of children battling cancer. The event is part of St. Baldrick's Day fund-raising activities taking place worldwide. I am so proud of our medical students who have raised more than $120,000 since 2008 for childhood cancer research.
On March 8 at 7 p.m., Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Rita Dove, the country's first African-American poet laureate, will read and sign copies of her works at McAlister Auditorium.
On March 9 at 5:30 p.m., Blake Mycoskie, founder of TOMS Shoes, which gives a free pair of shoes to a needy child for every pair it sells, will speak in the Kendall Cram Lecture Hall of the Lavin-Bernick Center for University Life.
On March 15 at 7:30 p.m., acclaimed short story writer Amy Hempel, whose Collected Stories, was named one of the best books of 2006 by The New York Times, Newsweek, The Boston Globe and The San Francisco Chronicle, will read from her works in the Kendall Cram Lecture Hall of the Lavin-Bernick Center for University Life. Hempel's appearance marks the 25th anniversary of the Zale-Kimmerling Writer-in-Residence program.
On March 16 at 7 p.m., best-selling author and NOVA host Brian Greene will speak in Tulane's Dixon Hall. A renowned physicist, Greene's book, The Elegant Universe, popularized the string theory, which holds that all matter is generated by the vibrations of microscopic loops of energy.
These events, which are free and open to the public, would be considered a whole semester's worth of community and intellectual engagement at many universities but are part of just one special March at Tulane.
Have a great weekend,
Office of the President Emeritus, 1555 Poydras St, Suite 700, New Orleans, LA 70112 504-274-3638 email@example.com

NetTalk launches Wi-Fi VoIP device, service at Target stores
VoIP provider netTalk, which has been aggressively expanding the shelf presence of its VoIP phone, netTalk Duo, at a number of U.S. stores, said it plans to roll out netTalk Duo Wi-Fi in early April.
The Wi-Fi compatible device will be available at Target stores across the U.S. starting in April, netTalk said, adding that it will roll out at other retailers soon.
The company just started offering telephone number porting last month, which it said was its customer's No. 1 requested service. Next most wanted, said CEO Takis Kyriakides, was a device and service that is fully Wi-Fi compatible.
"We are the first in the world to do so; this is our holy grail," Kyriakides claimed.
He said the new device will be capable of connecting over any Wi-Fi service.
The netTalk Duo WiFi has a suggested retail price of $64.95. The phone enables free nationwide calls to any phone in Canada and the U.S. from anywhere in the world, as well as low-cost, flat-rate international calling plans. The device plugs directly into a modem or a computer.

Hi Guild
I set myself the task to create a battlemap by using gimp solely for basic operations (such as cutting down / resizing images is ok, altering images e.g. with filters and stuff is not) and by using powerpoint to design and lay out the tactical elements: walls, stairs, a grid, rivers and stuff ..
The map is called "Unsteady Harmony", inspired by "False Peace" a map by conflictbooks.com
All textures used are stockfiles from different sources.
Decorations have been created by Bogie @ Cartographers Guild

Molly Corso: 7/10/08
The Georgian government is betting that a July 9-10 visit by United States Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to Tbilisi will help reduce tension with Moscow over the breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Yet, while both Rice and Georgian officials have emphasized Washington's efforts to resolve the two conflicts, some analysts question the US capacity to foster peace in the two separatist territories.
A recent string of explosions in three Abkhaz towns – Gagra, Sukhumi, and Gali – in addition to a skirmish between Georgian and separatist forces in the Georgian-controlled Upper Kodori Gorge in Abkhazia has put Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili's government under growing pressure. The separatist government in Sukhumi blames Tbilisi for the violence; Tbilisi, predictably, blames Moscow.
There has also been an upswing of tension in the South Ossetian conflict zone, where reports of a Russian military plane violating Georgian airspace surfaced on July 9. In a July 10 statement, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the aircraft had been sent to prevent an alleged attempt by Georgian forces from entering South Ossetia to free four Georgian servicemen who were arrested by separatist law enforcement agents on July 8.
Moscow claims that its July 9 action was designed "to cool off hot heads in Tbilisi and to prevent the situation from developing into a force scenario, the likelihood of which was more than realistic." The timing of the flight, though, is at odds with a July 8 statement by the Georgian Defense Ministry that the four men had been released.
While Tbilisi has not yet responded to Moscow's assertions, at an earlier joint press briefing with Secretary of State Rice, President Saakashvili described Russia as the "elephant in the room" that is disrupting the peace process.
"This is a very worrisome development," Saakashvili said in reference to the growing tensions with Moscow over Abkhazia. "The main point is that Russia no longer acknowledges jurisdiction of Georgia in an essential part of its territory."
Secretary of State Rice told reporters that she came to Georgia "to make very clear" the United States' commitment to the country's territorial integrity. Moscow, she said, needs to "be a part of solving the problem, and not contributing to it."
Calling for an end to the violence, she vowed to "to reinvigorate and indeed intensify" the Washington's efforts to resolve Georgia's two frozen conflicts, and repeated the Bush administration's support for Georgia's North Atlantic Treaty Organization ambitions.
However, some international and local analysts question how effective the United States can be in promoting peace. On July 8, Abkhazia's de facto authorities flatly refused an American proposal to create an international police force to secure the conflict zone. Labeling the United States as "unilaterally pro-Georgian," de facto Abkhaz leader Sergei Bagapsh ruled out any chance for creating an international police force, an idea promoted by the United States. "We are not going to listen to any recommendations from the State Department," local media outlets quoted Bagapsh as saying.
According to Michael Emerson, a senior research fellow at the Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS) in Brussels, neither Russia nor America is suitable as neutral negotiators. "Abkhazia is protected by Russia against Georgia, which, in turn, is backed by the United States. Neither Russia nor the United States are potential mediators.... Both are interested parties," he said in a phone interview from Brussels.
The situation at present, he added, is "completely blocked."
Meanwhile, in Tbilisi, local observers, including military analyst Mamuka Areshidze, are hoping that the European Union will provide a way out of the deadlock. US involvement tends to "antagonize" the Russians, while Moscow is more sympathetic to the Europeans, Areshidze suggested. "Europe is made up of many nations and it is uncomfortable for Russia that they are all united on one front. That is very important," Areshidze said. "Now, Russia is trying not to lose the initiative."
A recent series of visits by high-level EU officials to Tbilisi, Sukhumi and the South Ossetian capital of Tskhinvali offers evidence that European interest in the dilemma is increasing, he added. European diplomats say that they are eager to work with both separatist regions to "facilitate" dialogue with Tbilisi. It is an interest that they believe is mutual. "I would say with some conviction that a strong interest exists among the Abkhaz to open up to the EU," European Union Special Representative for the South Caucasus Peter Semneby said in response to a question from EurasiaNet at a July 9 press conference in Tbilisi.
"I do believe that there is a degree of confidence that we've been able to establish," he added.
At the same time, that interest comes with due attention to Moscow's own potential role the Abkhaz and the South Ossetian peace processes. It is "imperative to involve the Russian Federation in a constructive way in resolution of the conflicts," Semneby stressed.
For Tbilisi, other sensitive points could also exist. Analyst Emerson noted that the Europeans appear to have "quite serious misgivings" about Saakashvili's tactics for resolving the issue. The Georgian leader's peace plan – which emphasizes the creation of a joint free trade zone and central government posts for the Abkhaz – is seen as "poorly conceived strategically," he said.
Speaking in Tbilisi, Semneby skirted any direct criticism of Tbilisi's proposals, but indicated that the EU backs a gradual approach. "The status issues," he said, "are not the ones we should address at this point."
Rice and Georgian officials downplayed the idea that American and European support is an either-or proposition. Temur Yakobashvili, Georgia's state minister for territorial integration, affirmed that Tbilisi is counting on both the United States and the European Union to help resolve the conflicts. "[T]he American government [is] trying to create an alliance with the Europeans. What is happening in Georgia is not just the business of the Americans; it is also – first of all – primarily European business," Yakobashvili told EurasiaNet.
"It is a very right direction of the Americans to create alliances, the western alliances, to effectively handle the balance in Georgia," Yakobashvili added.
In her comments to reporters, Rice broadly echoed that stance, repeatedly emphasizing the role of the United Nation's Group of Friends of Georgia – a roster that includes Germany, France, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom, and the United States – in the peace process.
"We, through the Friends process, will do everything we can to help resolve those conflicts," she said.

Just about one year ago, the AAFP and TransforMED offered family physicians an introductory webinar to expose them to basic elements of meaningful use stage two requirements. Now it's time to really get down to business preparing for requirements poised to take effect in 2014.
Join Jason Mitchell, M.D., director of the AAFP's Center for Health IT, and Steven Waldren, M.D., M.S., senior strategist for the center, for a free webinar titled, "Meaningful Use Stage 2; Understanding Key Changes."
The webinar is scheduled for Feb. 26 at 1 p.m. CST and registration is now open(www.delta-exchange.net).
Mitchell told AAFP News that the pair intends to focus on specific issues that could be problematic for family physicians. "We have a lot more information now about what specific measures look like and what physicians need to do," said Mitchell. "We also have a better understanding of the technology necessary for electronic health record (EHR) systems to be certified. We know the vendor market, who has a product that is ready and useable, and who doesn't."
Mitchell said that during the webinar, he and his co-presenter will
- discuss constriction in the vendor market that most likely will mean a change in product for some family physicians,
- share a structured format aimed at helping physicians better understand the multiple measures that are part of meaningful use stage two and
- identify resources designed to ease the transition from meaningful use stage one to meaningful use stage two.
Despite the fact that the requirements for stage two are significantly more difficult, "We want meaningful use to be successful, and we want people to concentrate on completing the journey," said Mitchell.
Together, Mitchell and Waldren bring a wealth of health information technology knowledge to the table.
Waldren, a published author on health IT issues, currently has roles in a variety of health IT stakeholder groups and advisory boards. He's delivered more than 30 presentations focused on health IT issues in the past three years.
Since 2012, Mitchell has served as the AAFP's expert for family physicians looking for help related to medical office computerization, as well as EHR selection, implementation and optimization. Mitchell also holds membership in a number of organizations focused on health IT.
As always, the webinar will be archived for later viewing.

Hurricane Sandy highlighted the fragility of many pieces of modern infrastructure. In addition to the loss of human life and physical property, lost data has impacted the operations of many organizations on the East Coast.
According to Ben Carmitchel, president of Datarecovery.com, the blackouts in New York City and New Jersey "have probably caused millions of dollars in data loss already, and that number could easily reach the billion-dollar mark when all is said and done."
Costly downtime immediately following the storm indicates that many businesses are not investing enough money or attention toward their data disaster recovery plans. In the financial services industry this can be catastrophic. Although the consequences can be severe, most companies do not take the proper precautions. Many financial institutions still do not understand how important it is to have a comprehensive backup solution. The resources that are available onsite are clearly insufficient compared to a geographically redundant cloud solution.
Onsite storage methods have been known to have many flaws and limits in safeguarding critical data. Many financial institutions continue to use onsite storage because of concerns about the accessibility of cloud storage and its ability to backup large amounts of data. The reality of the matter is cloud storage is far superior to local storage, leveraging the redundancy and 24/7 management of modern datacenters to increase data availability. Some of the benefits of cloud storage include accessibility, flexibility, and scalability. Cloud storage is the obvious choice for those businesses that are still relying on onsite storage.
Cloud storage also benefits small financial service companies, not just large financial institutions. For example, cloud storage helps mortgage offices who have a small number of IT personnel by reducing workloads. Cloud storage significantly decreases downtime, costly recoveries, and costs less than conventional methods. Cloud storage is the go-to solution for disaster recovery. There is no better system to secure data in the financial services industry than cloud storage. It is now time for the financial services industry to take backing up their critical data seriously.

Imagine if you will, dear reader, that Armstrong stepped off his bike early in 1998, having successfully recovered from his cancer and returned to pro bike racing, and announced his retirement. Mission accomplished. No Vuelta that year, and certainly no Tour wins from 1999 to 2005. Imagine that he instead turned to establishing his cancer foundation, which did not become the ubiquitous yellow-armband wielding entity it became with his Tour fame but a smaller, no less dedicated, institution focusing on men's health. Perhaps he returned to triathlon, competing successfully and winning several high-profile events. As a result, the profile of triathlons was boosted and Trek abandoned its road bike line (keeping LeMond on instead) to focus on the growth of the sport. Road cycling remained a strictly continental endeavour, still a mystery to most North Americans, and with doping scandal after doping scandal involving dodgy Spanish and Italian doctors, and mysterious Austrian clinics, it stayed as a fringe sport for Euro wannabees. For those not buying into triathlons, cyclocross started to emerge from the remnants of mountain biking and frustrated hipster roadies who wanted a new sport they could make their own. That one single individual could have such a dramatic impact on the direction of sport in North America does not seem an entirely absurd proposition.
Doping at the Tour would have carried on without Armstrong. One might say that he encouraged others to try to keep up, that his programme was the most advanced, that the UCI resisted reform because of his boosting of the sport. Maybe. But until there was a change in the culture of the peloton, and a willingness at the highest levels of the sport to address doping, it would have carried on. 1998 was simply not enough to break the cycle, even though it was a start. Bonnie D. Ford perceptively wrote the following, as the revelations about Armstrong were coming out from USADA: "And there will always be people who loved those three-week travelogues every July and don't want to give up on their longtime protagonist, either. Sunflowers and lavender and Alpine switchbacks are far more appealing images than syringes and blood bags and a cult of personality channelled into coercion. Armstrong's legacy lies now not only in the eye of the beholder but in the willingness of that beholder to take off the blinders and see." It is hard not to conclude that we all care less about the actual cheating than we might think. The Tour is a majestic spectacle, a carnival of suffering, a rock show. It has its own twisted and artificial values. It is just a bike race. Which is why Armstrong's lifetime ban is punitive and excessive; it cuts off forever his ability to earn money as an athlete. One strike and you are out. Forever.
As argued in The Armstrong Lie, this story is not about bike racing, it is about power. As political scientist Joseph Nye notes, there are three types of power: coercion, payment, and attraction/influence. Armstrong amassed and exercised all three types. It is not so much the cheating that we should object to but the exercise of power, particularly the coercion and the money used to maintain 'the lie' – the impact of which should not be minimized. If there should be punishment, then this is what should be dealt with. How Armstrong atones for the exercise of his power, as he has been doing over the last months, will determine his legacy. As for attraction and influence, if we worshipped him as a hero we only have ourselves to blame. There are no heroes in sport – only those with talent and the single-mindedness to apply it, which is not heroic. Some have argued that Livestrong was a 'cover' for Armstrong, that the foundation was not as effective as it could have been, that it was all just marketing. But that ignores the very real presence that it plays in the anti-cancer scene, all controversy aside (its flaws perhaps those of any start-up in the business), and the work that Armstrong put into it. Ultimately, then, how we think about Armstrong will always be reflected through this prism – now and in the future.
Looking back at the Armstrong 2.0 book, where this series started, it is hard not to see it as marketing material, but more than that a manifesto, a political campaign for the re-election of Armstrong as global icon. Like anything with politics, power was at its heart, for good and bad. But then like any political campaign there was scandal, and ultimately we have all voted and decided not to re-elect the candidate. But the story is not over and there will likely be a new campaign in the future – Armstrong 3.0 – even if we do not know what it will be for. The campaigning has already started.
In thinking about this story, one expected that insights might appear spontaneously: a eureka moment of clarity as to what it all means and meant. But then fame, adulation, and success as well as fraud, corrupting power, falls from grace, hubris and redemption are nothing new – human nature writ large in the internet age where we are all players in the drama, interconnected even if our only experience of the saga was standing on the side of the road or sporting a yellow wristband. Our proclamations are as valid as any; our contributions to the discussion more than just background noise. We flatter ourselves that we matter, that it all matters. That somehow out of it all can come meaning. "We can't live in a state of perpetual doubt, so we make up the best story possible and we live as if the story were true," says Daniel Kahneman. What is your Armstrong story; what does it all mean to you?

Shia Labeouf Directs Music Video For Marilyn Manson
By Joseph Giannone 5 years ago
Forever evolving yet still one of the most infamous musicians in America, shock rocker Marilyn Manson is a guy who simply wont stop getting progressively weirder. His past endeavors have proven to society that he will continue to push the limits of decency while attempting to make every person squirm at the very sight of him. The music hes produced over the years is just as bizarre as his persona, with albums like Antichrist Superstar and Eat Me, Drink Me that show off his wild metal music that provides his fans with angst and a truly eccentric sound. His followers love him and society despises him, but Manson wouldnt have it any other way.
His latest album Born Villain is said to delve into Punk Rock which is a far cry from his earlier work. The "Putting Holes in Happiness" hit-maker's latest music video for the title track off his new album is crazier than ever. Born Villain is a spectacle of dark material that only a man of his capacity could accomplish. Yet, there is another man behind this short video that'll rock your very existence. Shia LaBeouf directed "Villain" for Manson, and I doubt any of us will look at him the same. Watch Born Villain from Marilyn Manson and directed by Shia LeBeouf here. This video is absolutely NSFW.
What happened to Even Stevens? Seriously, the video is not only cringe worthy, but women are being strapped to horrific devices, people are having sex in a glass box and to make matters worse, Manson is sticking a spike throughhis wifes?cheek. The video is not only creepy, but its a depiction of some fairly grotesque stuff. Though the film is disgusting at parts, I am not completely against it. The video is shot well and its unique enough, with some awesome references to Alejandro Jodorowskys 1973 film The Holy Mountain and to filmmaker Luis Buñuels work. Yet, I still find it a left turn from what I would expect from the Transformers star. I can imagine though that this is exactly what Manson and LeBeouf wanted.
The former child star has taken a large chance by directing a video for Manson like this, yet it's already getting a lot of attention. It's obvious that the film is gross, creepy, and dark, but I'm happy to see that LaBeouf is continuing to break away from his roots in acting and grounding himself as a talented filmmaker. Maybe this is the next step in Shias career that shows hes not simply an actor anymore, but a force to be reckoned with? The video still gives me the creeps, but Im glad that it was Sam Witwicky who took me on that ride.

Wu-Tang Clan member Method Man, one of the few artists to collaborate with both Tupac and The Notorious B.I.G., has been noted for his delivery ever since 1993's Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers). His distinctive lyrical style led to the creation of songs such as "Method Man," in which he showcases a melodic form of rapping.
Method Man spoke about his rap style recently, differentiating himself from other rappers.
"I don't rap, though," Method Man said during an interview with XXL. "I'm serious. I don't. I don't rap. I flow. I'm a flow-er. You've got rappers. You got MCs, and then you got flow-ers. I'm a flow-er. How can I describe it? Busta [Rhymes], he's a flow-er. He's wrapped up in his cadence, you know what I mean? Yeah, I fall into that category, I don't rap, G. I'm an MC and I'm a flow-er."
Specifically, Method Man cited "How High" as an example of his flow-er style.
"How else would you start a song about marijuana?" he asked. "Jimi Hendrix, 'Purple Haze' [sings] 'Excuse me as I kiss the sky...' [Laughs] Come on, this shit is plain shit, you know. I pride myself on certain things, and people especially, when people try to take certain things away from me and say sideways shit like, 'All he does is flow, or he rhymes but it don't make any sense…' There's a lot of nuance and shit right there."
Method Man Doesn't Want His Albums Reviewed
Method Man also discussed critics and people who review his albums.
"And that's why it gets me so fuckin' mad when someone can just criticize an album of mine when I'm not actually there to convey where my thoughts were at the moment," he said. "If you don't know what kind of lifestyle I'm leading at that point in time, if you're right there--like what's this guy's name, Cameron Crowe, they did the Almost Famous movie about him. Remember, when he wrote about artists, he went on tour with the band. He really got a feel for who they were and where their mind was at so when he listened to the album, he had a perfect understanding of what's going on. We take that shit for granted."
Method Man spoke about the importance of listening to an album without any previous notions of the artist, using Kendrick Lamar as an example.
"I'm not saying that the people who review these albums or even write the articles aren't fans, but they gotta learn to put preconceived notions aside and just come with an empty slate and actually just come into that person's world," Method Man says. "Sometimes it's beautiful when you don't have to invite them and they come in. Kendrick, that first album, I knew nothing about that kid, but after the first album, I feel like I know him now. But sometimes, especially a sophomore project, or your third and fourth album, sometimes it has to be explained, because some people have a preconceived notion from your first album. And this is the main reason I don't want to be up for reviews, or anything, because I'm never gonna be happy about it. I don't care if it's four star. I don't care if it's the best fuckin' review ever, because I'm still gonna find something wrong with it."
Method Man and the rest of the Wu-Tang members have spent this year celebrating the twentieth anniversary of Enter The Wu Tang (36 Chambers). Method Man called the milestone "bittersweet."
Method Man's upcoming project, The Crystal Meth, does not have a release date.

Ever since marijuana became legal for adult use in Washington State, the state American Civil Liberties Union and several public health groups have been working tirelessly to limit teen access to the drug. These organizations are requesting that marijuana:
- Only be sold in opaque, child-proof packaging
- Not feature packaging that could be deemed appealing to children
- Not contain flavored additives
- Can only be advertised in certain ways
While these efforts are wise and much appreciated by many concerned parents, the fact remains that teens can and do regularly access and use marijuana, even in states where the drug is not legal. As such, parents need to take care to educate their teens about the potential consequences of marijuana use and seek professional help for those adolescents who are unable to control their use of the drug.
Marijuana Is Not a 'Safe' Drug
While many people think of marijuana as a "safe" drug, a "recreational" drug, or according to some, not even a drug at all, there are actually many harmful effects of marijuana, especially when it is being abused by teenagers. Teenagers who abuse marijuana are more likely to experience the following related negative consequences:
- Problems in school/poor grades
- Psychosis
- Memory problems
- Concentration problems
- Suicide
- Aggression
- Risky sexual practices
- Car accidents and/or driving under the influence arrests
- Use of other drugs
- Underage consumption of alcohol
And, as is the case with all people who use marijuana regularly, there are some known long-term effects of marijuana usage. These include:
- Increased risk of lung cancer
- Breathing problems
- Increased side effects from mental health medications
- Lack of motivation
- Decreased effectiveness of certain medications
- Reduced intelligence
- Increased risk of mental health problems
Talking With Your Teen
Because the consequences of teen marijuana use are so harmful to teens, it's important to talk with your child about them. You can begin by simply asking your teen, in a nonjudgmental fashion, what he or she knows or has heard about marijuana. You can use this as a starting point for discussing the truths about marijuana and its effects. Openly and honestly answer your teen's questions and, if your teen admits to you that he or she has a problem with marijuana or if you strongly believe that this may be the case, it is a good idea to begin looking into treatment options.
Though marijuana may seem "harmless," it is an addictive drug just like any other, and many adolescents find that they have a difficult time quitting the drug without professional help. If that is the case for your child, contact us at Newport Academy today.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (NNS) -- USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) is scheduled to complete its 20-month dry dock period May 21, when it undocks from dry dock 11 and moves to a pier side location at Newport News Shipbuilding for completion of the aircraft carrier's Refueling Complex Overhaul (RCOH).
Water first touched the hull of the ship May 16, when the shipyard flooded the dock to allow testing of critical ship's systems as undocking preparations continued. When the ship becomes fully afloat on the day of undocking, the short transit to the pier will be Theodore Roosevelt's first underway since it entered the shipyard in August 2009.
Since entering the shipyard, TR's shafts, propellers, rudders, anchors, and catapults and arresting gear machinery have been replaced or refurbished to ensure another 25 or more years of the ship's service life.
"Team Theodore Roosevelt has shown exemplary dedication in preparing this ship for its return to the water," said Capt. Billy Hart, USS Theodore Roosevelt commanding officer. "As we rebuild TR space by space and restore function to every system, Sailors will shape the ship to serve the nation for 25 more years to come."
Up to this point in the ship's RCOH, TR Sailors have completed more than 4,500 individual refurbishing and rehabilitation tasks expending more than 1.15 million man-hours of labor, according to TR Chief Engineer Cmdr. Gunter Braun.
"This is the largest delegation of work to ship's personnel for the RCOH to date," said Braun.
When Theodore Roosevelt is pier side, the Sailors and Newport News Shipbuilding employees will shift their sights to preparing the ship for crew move aboard scheduled for next year with the ultimate goal of returning to operational status.
Theodore Roosevelt is currently undergoing its scheduled mid-life RCOH at Newport News shipbuilding, a division of Huntington Ingalls Industries. During the 39-month maintenance period, TR's fuel will be replenished and significant upgrades will be made to the ship's combat and communication systems to extend the ship's service life for 25 or more years. All Nimitz-class aircraft carriers go through RCOH near the mid-point of their 50-year life cycle.
For more information contact Lt. Cmdr. Karen Eifert, TR public affairs officer at email@example.com, or (757) 676-2610.

Elvis Costello says don't buy his box set, buy Louis Armstrong's instead
Elvis Costello took to his blog a couple weeks ago to let fans know that they shouldn't buy his new box set, because at over $200 "the price appears to be either a misprint or a satire," and because (according to Costello) there's better music out there anyway.
He writes regarding the overblown price tag…
All our attempts to have this number revised have been fruitless so we are taking the following unusual step.
If you want to buy something special for your loved one at this time of seasonal giving, we suggest, "Ambassador Of Jazz" – a cute little imitation suitcase containing ten re-mastered albums by one of the most beautiful and loving revolutionaries who ever lived – Louis Armstrong….
Frankly the music is vastly superior.

Makes me want to buy his box set. ;-)

I have noticed that companies raise prices during holidays.. Go to Amazon and search for a 700 piece LEGO box then wait for christmas and see the price go from $50 to $99!! It was crazy…
He is just an artist and probably has no say in how much they charge..

Scalp bumps are an unpleasant problem, especially when they're associated with scalp tenderness and itching. Bumps can appear on the scalp for a variety of reasons. Some of the most common types are discussed below along with their potential treatments.
Ringworm or tinia capitis is a scalp infection caused by a tiny fungus called tinea. The signs and symptoms of ringworm include scalp itching, scaling, scalp bumps and patchy areas of hair loss. This scalp condition is more common in children, although adults can be affected too. It can be easily spread from person to person by sharing personal items such as combs, brushes and towels and from contact with infected animals including household pets. A doctor can often make the diagnosis by simply looking at the scalp. If the diagnosis is in question, they may take a sample and send it to the lab to look for the characteristic tinea fungus.
When hair follicles on the scalp become inflamed, it leads to a condition called scalp folliculitis. Folliculitis isn't unique to the scalp, it can also affect the body, especially in areas that are irritated by tight clothing or traumatized by shaving. Typically, folliculitis causes red scalp bumps that are tender or itchy. The bumps may be filled with a clear or yellow fluid.
This skin and scalp condition is caused by bacteria or fungus. When it involves the scalp, it's more common in people who don't wash their hair regularly and those who wear tight hats or constrictive headwear. It's also more common in the summer when the air is hot and humid. Another special type of folliculitis caused by a bacteria called pseudomonas comes from soaking or swimming in poorly maintained pools, hot tubs or whirlpools.
Seborrheic Dermatitis
No one knows exactly what causes this condition that affects both the skin and the scalp, but it's linked with a fungus called Malassezia. Seborrheic dermatitis typically causes white or yellow scaly patches on the scalp that are itchy. When people scratch, it causes scalp bumps to appear. This scalp problem is more common in people who have immune deficiency problems or neurological diseases like Parkinson's disease, although it can affect anyone. There's also a genetic component since it's more common in certain families. The symptoms can be aggravated by not shampooing frequently enough, stress, changes in the weather and other illnesses.
Doctors usually treat ringworm with anti-fungal medications. They may also suggest using a medicated shampoo that contains 2.5 percent selenium sulfide. To prevent future problems, shampoo hair and scalp regularly, practice regular hand washing and don't share combs, brushes or personal items with other people.
Folliculitis of the scalp may respond to topical antibiotic treatment, although some of the bacteria that cause it have become resistant to antibiotic ointments available at the drugstore. Shampooing every other day with a mild shampoo that contains tea tree oil may help since tea tree oil has natural antibacterial properties. In cases that don't improve with tea tree oil, an anti-fungal shampoo may help. Skin care products that contain benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid may also help the symptoms.
Seborrheic Dermatitis
To treat seborrheic dermatitis, shampoo regularly using a shampoo that contains selenium sulfide pyrithone zinc or coal tar. It may also be helpful to use a shampoo that contains tea tree oil. Regular shampooing is important to help loosen and remove the scales. In more severe cases, doctors recommend shampoos that contain the anti-fungal medication ketoconazole. A corticosteroid cream or ointment can help with itching. It may also be helpful to add more omega-3 fats to your diet by taking a fish oil supplement or eating fatty fish such as salmon. These healthy fats reduce inflammation and may improve some skin and scalp conditions. Ask your doctor before doing this.
Bumps on the scalp can less commonly be a sign of other conditions such as scabies, allergies or an underlying medical problem. If there's a question as to what's causing it, see your doctor.

Relevance Judges Understanding of Topical Relevance Types: An Explication of an Enriched Concept of Topical Relevance
Xiaoli Huang Dagobert Soergel
Presented at
ASIST 2004 Annual Meeting; "Managing and Enhancing Information: Cultures and Conflicts" (ASIST AM 04)
, Providence, Rhode Island, November 13 - 18, 2004
Despite the centrality of topical relevance in information retrieval system design and evaluation, understanding and implementation of it is usually limited to direct overall topical matching between the subject of the query and the subject of the document. The underlying assumption is that only a single type of topical relationship is involved. In related work, a relevance judgment instrument was developed for the Multilingual Access to Large Spoken ArCHives project (MALACH). It incorporates the five topical relevance types (direct relevance, indirect/ circumstantial relevance, context relevance, comparison relevance, and pointer relevance) and was applied by four judges to items in the MALACH test collection in Summer 2003. This paper reports on the experiences and perceptions of the judges making more nuanced judgments about topical relevance. The results suggest that more than only one variable/dimension, whether it is on topic as usually referred to, contributes to topical relevance, and more than a single topical relationship type, direct matching as generally assumed, play an important role in topical relevance.

I wish to ask if you would recommend EJB3.1 singleton beans as storage for application memory shared data. Imagine some simple application that needs to hold data in memory (rather than in a database) - e.g. some instant messaging server got data who is and who isn't online (user status).
Would you recommend usage of EJB3.1 singletons or do you prefer some typical caching mechanisms like Coherence and so on? I can imagine a cluster with multiple JVMs, then comes to my mind to use JMS to tell other singletons that application memory changed.

Has anyone every connected an APM2.5 to a DJI S800 frame?
Views: 8496
That's the exact setup I've been running. I've only flown it in stabilize mode so far (running 3 6s 5000mah batteries) as I am waiting for an APM 2.5 case right now before trying out the other modes. However, it was very stable for me in stabilize with the default settings.
https://vimeo.com/56610707 here is a flight of mine on the 800.
Can you post some pics of your APM installation? The flight looked very smooth.
Here is my S900 Clone setup with apm 2.5 rctimer clone. Next I will be adding FPV.
No issues with the frame so far it's been great but I cannot compare it to a DJI frame. I love the frames with the built in PCB makes life some much easier. The only thing that I think could be improved is the arms. They seem like they flex a little too much but I have not had one break.
Nick,, I originally posted the question about APM on my S800.
What did you set your Roll_P at.....close to .15?
Thanks Jeff
Not much tuning at all. Powered with a small 1500 lipo with http://store.diydrones.com/APM_Power_Module_Dean_Connectors_p/br-ap...

I am setting an s800 clone with apm2.5...could you describe your setup/PID s etc...regards kpc

At Bijolia, in the middle of fields outside a picturesque fortified town, you'll discover temples dating from the 12C and 13C. These are the last remains of an important Chauhan city, which flourished from the 10C onwards. Two sanctuaries (dedicated to Shiva and Ganesh) will delight visitors with the beauty of their design and the graceful appearance of their sculptures. In the town, three temples and an impressive haveli, Garh Rawala Bijolia, are all worthy of note.

Images of classified Tel Aviv-area base, clearly visible license plates appear on Google service

Vehicles inside secret base (Photo: Google Street View)
Journalist and new media consultant Yossi Dorfman revealed in his blog that a secret Tel Aviv-area base has been fully exposed by Google's new service. The images allow users to see the guard post at the entrance to the base, several soldiers inside it, and vehicles parked in the base with their license plates clearly visible.
A veteran officer who saw the images said their availability on the Internet constitutes security damage for Israel.
Responding to the report, Google said that its Street View service is offered in coordination with Israel's defense authorities and is approved by them. Faces and license plates captured by Google have been blurred using unique technology, the company said.

Actor Ranveer Singh, who is recuperating from Dengue in his Mumbai apartment, talks about love, films, Deepika Padukone and his next, 'Ram Leela'.
Who works through dengue?
When I felt a fever coming in Durgapur during 'Gundays shooting, I got it checked but it didn't show up in the reports. I wasn't given the option to not shoot. Nobody told me that if you are not feeling good, take some time off, but I was told that "Buddy, we know you are not feeling good so how do we make you feel better so that you can shoot." So I finished my shooting, came back to Mumbai and straight away went to the hospital.
You've had quite a few health scares. As a hyper energetic guy, how are you coping?
I've noticed that whenever my shirtless picture appears in the newspapers, something happens to me. The first time it happened I had my back injury during 'Lootera,' then shards of glass pierced my foot and now before 'Ram Leela,' I got dengue. I've been told to rest and sleep till my energy levels come back but I'm getting stressed. I feel as if time is running out. I'm not getting any younger. There are so many films that I want to do.
Did working with Sanjay Leela Bhansali in Ram Leela make you discover something new about yourself?
I like to believe I'm the ultimate Bhansali hero. Apart from the looks I need to be taller, fairer and better looking but in terms of the personality, I have it down pat with the craziness, the madness and volatility. Bhansali and I come from the same school of melodrama we both love it so when we work together, we combust.
Did Bhansali live up to his reputation of being difficult and demanding?
Sanjay doesn't like script readings which was very different from my experience with YRF and Vikramaditya Motwane, who believe in extensive readings and finding the pitch during workshops. Bhansali is itching to get on the set. He makes his film on the sets. He keeps improvising and thats why hes a demanding director.
He expects his actors to be on their toes and be ready to deliver whatever he asks for. He might take four hours to light a frame with the intention of shooting a two-page talkie with perfect dialogues but at the last moment he might turn the scene into a silent

Middlebury motorist dies after Dec. 21 traffic accident
A Middlebury woman died 10 days after being involved in a one-car accident.
Shirley Grace, 60, died Sunday at Parkview Hospital in Fort Wayne.
Authorities believe Grace died from complications related to the auto accident, which happened on Dec. 21 when the car she was driving left the road and struck a utility pole along C.R. 35 near C.R. 20 southwest of Middlebury.
According to an initial report by the Elkhart County Sheriff's Department, Grace suffered a cut to the forehead and pain to the neck, back and left knee.
However, a spokesman for the Allen County Coroner indicated she sustained a serious back injury.
While the coroner's office suspects Grace died from complications due to injuries from the accident, a final autopsy report will not be available for a few more weeks, the spokesman said.
She was taken to IU Health Goshen Hospital and later transferred to Parkview Hospital.

This post hasn't been updated in over 2 years.
Many freelancers work out of the house. But there are situations in which at least having access to office space is important: Maybe you need a place to meet with clients. Maybe you need a place where there aren't kids demanding attention. Maybe you just need a safe place to keep gear that pets can't get at. Sure, for many of these purposes, you can just head to your local coffee shop. But it's worth considering office space, especially if you can get it inexpensively.
Shared office space, whether we're talking about a coworking space, a conference room you can rent, or even just a cubicle that you can use in a bigger office, can make a lot of sense for freelancers, especially considering you can get a lot out of a small space.
Choose Your Space Based on Community
Communities add value. They make it easier for you to land local clients, because you can get more referrals and recommendations.
When you're looking for a place to set up shop, it's tempting to choose a quiet office where no one will ever talk to you. But you have to balance that quiet work environment with a community that actively networks, attends or even throws events, and generally makes an effort to get to know one another.
Communities add value. They make it easier for you to land local clients, because you can get more referrals and recommendations. They also make it easier for you to find the resources you need to grow your freelance business, whether that's help with a project or finding a new accountant.
If you've got a lot of options for where to get your office space, take the time to tour them. Check what events are on the calendar. If possible, try to get a list of who else is using the space — and then run those names through a search engine. Make sure that you're joining the best community in the area. The right community can even be worth spending a little more than you might for other work space.
Decide What Amenities You Really Need
Most office space that you'll be able to access will come with certain amenities. Landlords choose perks like free coffee to be able to justify their prices, especially if they're a little higher than other space in the area. You have to make sure that those amenities are worth the effort: a lot of business suites and virtual offices still consider free long distance calls to be an amenity worth advertising. For some businesses that's important, but most freelancers are practically glued to cell phones with free long distance already built in.
You want to check the internet speeds to make sure that the work you need to do isn't going to be a problem, but just about everything else comes down to a matter of personal preference. What do you need to get your work done every day? Are you willing to bring in your own drinks and other creature comforts? You need to take a look at what you consider important.
There are certain amenities that, in my own experience, are worthwhile. Most freelancers only need copy machines or fax machines very rarely — but when we need them, we need them immediately. Choosing an office space with that sort of hardware can save you a late night run to the copy shop.
Use Your Space As Much As Possible
If you're paying for office space, make sure you're getting as much out of it as possible. That means that if you have a certain number of hours that you are allotted, make sure you're in the office the whole time. If you've got the conference room a certain number of times per month, make sure you're using each one. If you find that you're not managing to use your space to its full potential, get creative.
Don't be afraid to ask to sublet or share with another freelancer — you probably won't get permission, but there's no harm in asking. But you can take other steps. If, for instance, you have access to a conference room every month, why not teach a small class or hold a seminar for prospective clients? Think about how you can use your office space beyond getting work done. That alone will ensure that you get more out of the expense.
