Valentine's Day: a time for some extra romance — or worry.
According to a recent survey, 62% of Americans have money on their mind more than sex. Of those in a relationship, 27% say their wealth worries affect how often they want to be intimate with their partner.
"Open communication about money is a vital part of any romantic relationship, but discussing finances is often stigmatized in American culture," said Caroline McNally, vice president of marketing at Yodlee, a maker of financial data applications, in a statement.
"This survey shows just how severely financial stress is affecting Americans' relationships, and underscores the need for easy, intuitive tools and services that take the stress out of everyday financial tasks like budgeting, payments and talking about money," McNally said.
Yodlee's survey of about 2,000 adults, conducted by Harris Poll in December, reveals that money-related stress tends to affect the wealthy more than others.
In fact, 26% of those in relationships with a $100,000 or more in annual household income suffer from "altered libidos because of money concerns," Yodlee says. That's higher than households earning $75,000-$99,900 (19%).
More than three-fourths of women (77%) think about money more often than sex versus 46% of men. Women seem to have "healthier perspectives about money," the company says, since roughly the same share women in romantic relationships (28%) as men (27%) find their desire for sex affected by wealth worries, despite the difference in how often they think about them.
The survey shows that 66% of Southerners prioritize money over sex vs. 57% of Westerners. But 33% of Northeasterners in relationships believe their sex drives are affected by money matters vs. 24% of those in the West.
Birth-Rate Blues
Some academic studies have shown the broader relationship between economic conditions and birth rates.
For instance, the economic recession of 2008-2009 was followed by a drop in fertility rates in Europe and the United States, according to Austrian Academy of Sciences and the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis.
This period brought "to an end the first concerted rise in fertility rates in the developed world since the 1960s," the research groups say, noting that in general recessions tend to be followed by a decline in fertility rates.
Is there a way that financial advisors can help close the love-money gap?
Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards consumer advocate Eleanor Blayney highlights seven financial ways to say "I love you" in a recent blog post.
Blayney's first piece of advice is to "make a date with your sweetie to talk about money," though Valentine's Day is probably not the perfect time for such an appointment.
"Many relationships are unions of money opposites," she said. "For example, a saver and a spender, or a money vigilante paired with a money avoider."
In other words, tread carefully.
And if the two of you "simply cannot talk about money … bring your money issues to an expert on financial matters," she wrote. "It's amazing what an impartial third party can do to clarify your issues, set common goals that you can pursue together, and find solutions that can work for you both."

Associate Professor, Department of Genetics
Associate Professor, Department of Pathology
Faculty Advisor, Molecular Cytogenetics Core, Department of Genetics
The laboratory focuses on three main areas of research:
Project 1- Role of Septin 9 in Breast Carcinogenesis.
A comparative cytogenetic approach aimed to identify recurrent DNA copy number variations in a panel of murine models for breast cancer resulted in the identification of Septin 9 (Sept9) as potential novel oncogene. The septin family of genes codes for a highly redundant and conserved family of GTP-binding proteins that assemble into filaments and bind to microfilaments and microtubules. Our recent data performed on a panel of human primary tumors revealed that Sept9 is also amplified and over expressed in human tumors. At the locus of genomic amplification deregulation of Sept9 expression occurs by a complex pattern of genetic and epigenetic alterations affecting several Sept9 isoform variants. Our hypothesis is that during malignant transformation, breast epithelial cells undergo genomic amplification of the Sept9 locus and over-express Sept9 mRNA and protein. Additionally, aberrant cytosine methylation occurs at specific alternative promoters within the Sept9 locus resulting in an abnormal pattern of Sept9 isoform variants. We are currently studying how the expression of various Sept9 isoforms is regulated in normal and cancer cells and the functional differences between these isoforms.
Project 2- Stage- and Cell Subtype-Specific Epigenetic Regulation of Mammary Gland Development and breast tumorigenesis.
We are interested in investigating the DNA methylation changes occurring in the development of the normal mammary gland during puberty, adult age, pregnant, lactating and undergoing mammary gland involution. This approach has the final goal of dissecting the molecular processes that mediate methylation changes in the morphogenesis and differentiation of the normal breast and to identify "hot spot" loci for gene silencing in breast carcinogenesis.
We performed a genome-wide methylation analysis of cytosine methylation levels during mammary gland development to identify novel candidate loci. This study shows that conserved, non-coding regions around the transcription start sites of a number of genes undergo changes in methylation pattern during mammary gland development. We have selected various candidates that we are currently investigating for their role in determining cell fate during mammary gland development and for their implication in breast tumorigenesis.
Project 3- Aneuploidy in aging.
Polyploidy and aneuploidy are the most frequent cytogenetic events observed in mammalian cells. Polyploidization is a widely accepted mechanism for increasing genetic variation in unicellular organisms and for the acquisition of new properties in a variety of cell types (e.g., osteoclast fusion in bone resorption and myoblast fusion in muscle development) and is considered a physiological process. Aneuploidy on the contrary is linked to pathological states. It is a hallmark of spontaneous abortions and birth defects and is observed virtually in every human tumor. While the catastrophic consequence of high levels of aneuploidy observed in abortions is self-explanatory, the role of aneuploidy under physiological conditions is a question waiting for answers. The major goal of this project is to explore a possible correlation between age-associated genome instability in a variety of tissues and functionality of these cells. We hypothesize that during aging genomic instability measured as frequency of whole chromosomes aneuploidy increases. Consequently, the cumulative effect of aging-associated genome instability may lead to cellular dysfunction and organ and tissue degeneration.

SAN JOSE — Sharks captain Joe Thornton is returning to Switzerland, and teammate Logan Couture might be heading in the same direction as NHL players are starting to find places to play in Europe while the league sorts out its labor problems.
Thornton, who met his wife while playing in Switzerland for Davos during the 2004-05 NHL lockout, said Monday that it was the logical move to go back there with her and their daughter.
"I just want to go and play and get some games in and some practices in, just stay loose and feel good," said Thornton, who said he expected to be en route to Switzerland by the end of the week.
Couture confirmed that he is close to signing a deal with Geneva in the same league as Davos. Teammate Jason Demers will play in Finland, and Michal Handzus is expected to sign with a team in his native Slovakia.
In Davos, Thornton will be reunited with left wing Rick Nash, now of the New York Rangers. The two were linemates eight years ago and formed a strong friendship that kept San Jose in the hunt for Nash's services when he asked to be traded from Columbus earlier this year.
Sharks defenseman Douglas Murray, a native of Sweden, said he is still weighing his options. Unless rules are changed, he cannot play in the Swedish Elite League, but he said he has been in talks with his former team, Djugardens in Stockholm, which has fallen out of the top tier.
Murray was one of eight players on San Jose's NHL roster who rented a rink at Sharks Ice on Monday morning. European goalies Antti Niemi and Thomas Greiss both said only that they were considering returning home to play.
The NHL officially locked its players out at 9 p.m. PDT Saturday, and no further bargaining sessions with the NHL Players Association are scheduled.
Those heading to San Jose's top development team are forwards Curt Gogol, Freddie Hamilton, Bracken Kearns, James Livingston, Jon Matsumoto, Travis Oleksuk, Brodie Reid and Sebastian Stalberg; defensemen Sena Acolatse, Taylor Doherty, Danny Groulx, Matt Irwin and Matt Tennyson; and goaltenders Thomas Heemskerk, Harri Sateri and Alex Stalock.
The Sharks explain their ticket policies in detail on the team's website, where there is also an open letter telling fans "we appreciate your patience and ask that you continue to bear with us."
For more on the Sharks, see David Pollak's Working the Corners blog at blogs.mercurynews.com/sharks.

Adobe Spies on eBook Readers, including Library Users
A story broke yesterday involving eBooks, libraries, and the privacy of user data. Reporter Nate Hoffelder exposed some serious privacy violations on the part of Adobe, specifically within their Digital Editions 4 product.
Adobe Digital Editions, which most eBook platforms in libraries use (including OverDrive, 3M Cloud Library, Axis 360, and Enki), has been secretly spying on users. No one hacked anything–this is the company itself collecting this data on the sly. Adobe is gathering data on the eBooks that have been opened, which pages were read, and in what order–including consumer-subscription eBooks and eBooks borrowed through a library. Equally disturbing, Adobe is also tracking user activity outside of Digital Editions—gathering metadata from non-Adobe eBooks on the user's hard disk. All of this data is being kept and transmitted in clear text (plain text that is easily intercepted and duplicated by intermediaries, such as library eBook vendors).
The collection of such data is quite possibly a violation of the California Reader Privacy Act as well as the California Student Online Personal Information Protection Act. Working in California as a Library Director means I have to address this with my community.
As a library customer, I have contacted our eBook vendors and asked for information or comment. So far, nothing.
While not surprised that a big company that can make money off of user data is collecting that user data, I am outraged on behalf of my library users–whose data we strive to keep secure and safe. By offering eBooks platforms with Adobe Digital Rights Management software, we have been unknowingly violating our very own privacy policies.
I am hopeful that the American Library Association, state libraries, and other organizations will publicly decry this gross violation of user privacy.

Language: Linguistics · Semiotics · Speech
The indeterminacy of translation is a thesis propounded by 20th century analytic philosopher Willard Van Orman Quine. The classic statement of this thesis can be found in his 1960 book Word and Object, which gathered together and refined much of Quine's previous work on subjects other than formal logic and set theory. The indeterminacy of translation is also discussed at length in his Ontological Relativity (1968).
In these books, Quine considers the methods available to a field linguist attempting to translate a hitherto unknown language. He notes that there are always different ways one might break a sentence into words, and different ways to distribute functions among words. Any hypothesis of translation could be defended only by appeal to context, by determining what other sentences a native would utter. But the same indeterminacy will appear there: any hypothesis can be defended if one adopts enough compensatory hypotheses about other parts of the language.
Consider Quine's example of the word "gavagai" uttered by a native upon seeing a rabbit[1]. The linguist could do what seems natural and translate this as "Lo, a rabbit." But other translations would be compatible with all the evidence he has: "Lo, food"; "Let's go hunting"; "There will be a storm tonight" (these natives may be superstitious); "Lo, a momentary rabbit-stage"; "Lo, an undetached rabbit-part." Some of these might become less likely - that is, become more unwieldy hypotheses- in the light of subsequent observation. Others can only be ruled out by querying the natives: An affirmative answer to "Is this the same gavagai as that earlier one?" will rule out "momentary rabbit stage," and so forth. But these questions can only be asked once the linguist has mastered much of the natives' grammar and abstract vocabulary; that in turn can only be done on the basis of hypotheses derived from simpler, observation-connected bits of language; and those sentences, on their own, admit of multiple interpretations, as we have seen.
Indeterminacy of translation also applies to the interpretation of speakers of one's own language, and even to one's past utterances. This does not, contrary to a widely-disseminated caricature of Quine, lead to skepticism about meaning -- either that meaning is hidden and unknowable, or that words are meaningless. However, when combined with a (more or less behaviouristic) premise that everything that can be learned about the meaning of a speaker's utterances can be learned from his behaviour, the indeterminacy of translation does imply that there are no such entities as "meanings", since the notion of synonymy has no operational definition. But saying that there are no "meanings" is not to say that words are not meaningful or significant.
It would be a mistake to conclude that Quine denies an absolute standard of right and wrong in translating one language into another. A translation can be (in)consistent with the behavioural evidence. And while Quine does admit the existence of standards for good and bad translations, such standards are peripheral to his philosophical concern with the act of translation, hinging upon such pragmatic issues as speed of translation, and the lucidity and concision of the results. The key point is that more than one translation meets these criteria, and hence that no unique meaning can be assigned to words and sentences.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Chesapeake Energy has dropped its two-year legal battle to force an extension of 200 expired gas-drilling leases covering 13,000 acres in southern New York, the law firm representing the landowners said Monday.
Oklahoma City-based Chesapeake had argued that it had the right to extend the leases beyond the five-year expiration date because the state's moratorium on horizontal drilling and high-volume hydraulic fracturing has prevented it from drilling since 2008. U.S. District Court Judge David Hurd ruled in the landowners' favor in November, but Chesapeake had appealed.
Chesapeake's agreement to release the leases preserves the precedent set when Hurd ruled that the state's moratorium wasn't grounds to force an extension because it only precludes one type of drilling — using advanced technology of horizontal drilling and high-volume hydraulic fracturing to access gas trapped in shale deposits, Cindy Manchester, lawyer for the landowners in Broome and Tioga counties along the Pennsylvania border, said Monday.
Chesapeake's action allows the landowners to seek better lease deals with other energy companies, or to keep drilling off their land. The leases were signed at $2-$3 an acre and 12.5 percent royalties before the shale gas boom took off in 2007 across the border in Pennsylvania and boosted land prices to thousands of dollars an acre with royalties of up to 20 percent on production.
Members of landowner coalitions in southern New York have grown increasingly frustrated as Gov. Andrew Cuomo has continued the moratorium on the technology that has brought areas in other states new jobs and economic growth and flooded the market with low-cost natural gas. Cuomo has said the state's health and environmental agencies are still working to determine if the gas well technology commonly referred to as fracking can be done without harming human health or the environment.
New York sits atop the gas-rich Marcellus Shale, which also runs underneath parts of Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia.
Chesapeake did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The ObamaCare Copperheads
If the law is now such a success, why are Senate Democrats still fleeing?
Suddenly ObamaCare is a roaring success, happy days are here again and liberals are euphoric, or claim to be. There are more than a few reasons to doubt this new fairy tale, not least the behavior of Senate Democrats running for re-election this year.
In the Rose Garden Tuesday, President Obama reported that 7.1 million people had signed up so far, confirming a Monday night White House news leak. "That doesn't mean all our health-care problems have been solved forever," he conceded with customary modesty. The government...

The Djemaa el Fna in Marrakesh. Photo: Jenene Chesbrough
A few years ago, I found myself in Marrakesh. As an intrepid culinary adventurer, I headed straight for Djemaa el Fna, the hectic square at the heart of Marrakesh. At night, the expanse is filled with dozens of vendors offering all manner of meats. Of course, I picked the most dubious carcasses: a sheep's head and a soft, unctuous, flan-colored flesh that I later discovered was sheep mammary. Breast in show? Hardly. Read my queasy words at Food Republic.

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
For many students, drawing pictures in response to literature feels "fun" and unthreatening compared to writing a response. Yet asking students to draw what they see as they read is essentially the same thing as requesting a written response: Both demand that they identify and restate an important concept in the text in a way that is personally meaningful. A visual representation of a text or portion of a text can be done at any point in a reading -- as a first response, to sum up, or as a final assessment. Teacher Alfredo Lujan says this about his use of the technique: "After [the students] had discussed the poems [in Keith Gilyard's book Poemographies] and then the title, in my mind, they were making a link, and I thought, 'What better way to represent that than visually?' So instead of giving them a standard assignment like 'write an essay explaining what you meant' ... I thought in this case ... it would be best represented visually." Some of his students made posters, some maps, and some drew their responses.
A visual representation can take any form. Students can simply describe orally, to a partner or to the whole class, the images they "see" in their minds as they read. They can also do simple sketches in response to what they read, then share those sketches. Or they can create more elaborate responses by making posters, maps, portraits, masks, photo essays, sculptures, or other visual art forms. Visual responses can be done with the text as a whole, with a portion of the text, or with some theme or idea that runs through it.
Students can also capture the meaning of one word through drawing. Some teachers have students draw the meaning of a vocabulary word they are studying. Other teachers ask for a visual response as a culmination of a study of one concept or theme. For example, students might attempt to draw a concept like "hero" after a study of mythology, or visually represent themes like "identity" or "racism" that may arise in their reading.
Many teachers already use "mapping" in the classroom. Mapping is the practice of having students show their thinking about an idea, book, or theme by graphically representing the relationships between pieces of information. Markers, construction paper, and other supplies that encourage a visual response can help to make these maps more visually engaging.
A teacher introducing students to the concept of representing visual images might begin by modeling the images he or she "sees" while reading a text. The teacher can explain how describing and reflecting on these images helps develop comprehension of the text. Students might then begin by describing their images orally to a partner or by writing in a journal. Small peer groups might meet to discuss these images and discover what they have in common. Image-making is an ongoing process. Just as written and oral responses to literature will grow in sophistication with practice, so will the making of visual representations. Teachers should model how these responses, like written and oral responses, will be different for different genres of texts.
Good writing evokes images in our minds as we read. Good readers are constantly making and revising these mental images as they progress through a text. As educators Ellin Oliver Keene and Susan Zimmerman, authors of Mosaic of Thought, put it: "Proficient readers spontaneously and purposefully create mental images while and after they read. The images emerge from all five senses, as well as the emotions, and are anchored in a reader's prior knowledge ... [They] use images to draw conclusions, to create distinct and unique interpretations of the text, to recall details significant to the text, and to recall a text after it has been read." Talking about this with students and having them describe or draw the images they "see" as they read helps them strengthen their ability to use these mental pictures for comprehension and interpretation.

Niels Bohr
Bohr, Niels Henrik David
Niels Henrik David Bohr (nēls hăn´ rēk dā´vēŧħ bōr), 1885–1962, Danish physicist, one of the foremost scientists of modern physics. He studied at the Univ. of Copenhagen (Ph.D. 1911) and carried on research on the structure of the atom at Cambridge under Sir James J. Thomson and at Manchester under Lord Ernest Rutherford. In 1916, Bohr became professor of theoretical physics at the Univ. of Copenhagen, and in 1920 he was made director of the Institute of Theoretical Physics, which he was instrumental in founding.
Rutherford had discovered the nucleus of the atom in 1911, but classical theory was unable to explain the stability of the nuclear model of the atom. Bohr provided the solution to this problem in 1913, when he postulated that electrons move around the nucleus of the atom in restricted orbits and explained the manner in which the atom absorbs and emits energy. He thus combined the quantum theory with this concept of atomic structure. Much of the knowledge of modern physics was made possible by Bohr's initial revolutionary assumption that atomic processes cannot be explained by classical laws alone. Bohr was a leading figure in the continuing development of the quantum theory over the next twenty years. He received the 1922 Nobel Prize in Physics.
When Bohr visited the United States in 1938 and 1939, Bohr told American scientists of his belief, based on experiments reported by German scientists, that the uranium atom could be split into approximately equal halves. This was verified by scientists at Columbia. Bohr returned to Denmark but fled from the Nazi-occupied country in 1943. He gave valuable assistance in the atomic bomb research at Los Alamos, N.Mex., and in 1945 again returned to Denmark. His writings include The Theory of Spectra and Atomic Constitution (1922) and Atomic Theory and the Description of Nature (1934). See his collected works, ed. by León Rosenfeld (Vol. I, 1972).
His brother, Harald August Bohr, 1887–1951, a mathematician, taught (1915–30) at the College of Technology in Copenhagen and in 1930 became professor at the Univ. of Copenhagen. His most noted contribution to mathematics was his formulation of the theory of almost periodic functions. See his collected mathematical works, ed. by Erling Følner and Børge Jessen (3 vol., 1952).

Just about every encounter I have had has involved this bed in some manner. It is strange to me, it's slightly older than me but my parents bought it new from somewhere like Ikea when my older brother was born, so I do not think there is a history to it, and my house was brand new when we moved in. I am not the only one to have had experiences on that bed, though.

the thing grabbed me continuely, it felt completely solid but it wasn't nearly strong enough to actualy do anything, it was odd.
when i went to grab the wrists of whatever was grabbing me they weren't there.

It was very dark and I wanted to switch on the light.
I looked over my shoulder after hearing the dogs bark and right before I was supposed to hit the light button,
I never ever ever ever want to feel that way again, I thought I was going to gag, it was the most awful feeling ever.
Though I did not see anything, I surely felt something, I felt my hand make contact with something and it sure wasn't the light switch

With our ghost at work, I've have incidents where my shirt was tugged and I felt someone tap me. I would turn around thinking it was a manager or coworker being playful or just trying to get me out of the way but I'd turn around and NO ONE was there. I knew it had to be the ghost. I just thought "hey, that was pretty cool!" and went back to business as usual :P
I think the only time I'd be concerned is if I was pushed, thrown, tripped, etc. THEN I'd be kind of worried!

And several times I've had my hair...moved...for lack of better description. As though a hand were run from left to right and the base of my neck. I have long hair. This has happened at different locations and different times. Usually, there is no hint of another person around or no one close by. Again, it never feels menacing so while it does take me a moment or two to recover from the oddity of it all, I don't see these moments as "bad".
My youngest brother died when he was 19 and messing with my hair and giving my shirt a good hard yank seems like something he would do to remind me orneriness never dies And my grandpa would have found this all hilarious so it might be him. But of course, what do I know? Could be some random ghostly drive by, lol.

When I was a kid, I was in my bedroom, and I felt something touch my midsection through my t-shirt. It felt cold. Then another time I was in bed, lying on my side, when I was slowly but firmly rolled onto my back. That was the only time I actually felt frightened. (I was wide awake at the time, thinking about flicking on the light and reading for a while since I wasn't tired.)
Recently (within the past year) I felt a touch on my shoulder, and on another day I felt something brushing against my hair.
Posted 04 November 2012 - 07:00 AM
I have had my clothes tugged by an entity on more that one occasion - until I ordered it "not to ever touch me again". That was approx 6 years ago, and to my knowlege, I haven't been touched since. Same with being tapped on the shoulder. Since it was through clothing, I couldn't tell you if it was cold or not. I live in a 109 why/o house, it's always cold in here! LOL
I was attacked by a negative entity at 17, but I believe it was my astrial self that was attacked. I only remember it being strong and I figured out quickly that I couldn't out do it physically, so I had to "think" myself away from it. That episode scared me like nothing else every has.
I had my hair pulled - not gently, but not hard either - enough to know it wasn't an "accident" while walking alone in the basement of a old church - I was alone and just knew the place was haunted. When my hair was pulled, I did feel a coldness near my neck for an instant. Would have paid more attention if I KNEW it was going to happen.

And then just yesterday I was thinking about my uncle who had died and I had just gotten off the phone with one of my friends. And during the phone call I was very upset and was telling her how much I always looked up to him and I how wished I had the chance to tell him how much he had meant to me growing up and how I didn't think that he ever knew because I never told him. And I was looking at a picture of him and me and suddenly it felt like someone blew on the back of my neck except it was really cold.
Edited to add that once when I was in college and was really upset I felt what felt like a cat rub against my legs.

According to the study's authors, the findings are significant because despite remarkable progress in cardiac surgery, the number of major complications from cardiac surgery remains high.
"Therapies targeted to prevent or reduce major complications associated with cardiac surgery have been few and ineffective so far," said Jianzhong Sun, an anesthesiologist at Thomas Jefferson University and lead author of the study. "These complications are significant and costly both for the public health and the quality of patient life."
The study team evaluated the impact of preoperative aspirin on major outcomes in adults (total 4,256 consecutive patients) who had cardiac surgery — mostly coronary artery bypass graft or valve surgery — at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital or UC Davis Medical Center between 2001 and 2009. Among 2,868 patients who met the inclusion criteria, 1,923 took aspirin (about 81 to 325 mg daily) at least once within five days preceding their surgery versus 945 not taking aspirin (non-aspirin therapy).
The outcomes showed that preoperative aspirin therapy (vs. non-aspirin) is associated with a significant decrease in the risk for 30-day mortality, major adverse cardiocerebral events, postoperative renal failure and average time spent in the intensive care unit.
Beneficial effects of preoperative aspirin use found in the current study "are in line with our previous findings and findings from early postoperative aspirin studies," wrote Sun and colleagues in their paper.
"We know that aspirin can be lifesaving for patients who have experienced heart attacks," said Nilas Young, chief of cardiothoracic surgery at UC Davis and a study co-author. "Now we know that this simple intervention can do the same for patients who undergo certain coronary surgeries. This outcome could lead to new preoperative treatment standards in cardiac medicine."
The researchers acknowledge that bleeding remains a concern with preoperative aspirin therapy. However, they said, in the current era of cardiac surgery, the potential for bleeding may be avoided by using antifibrinolytic therapy, which prevents the breakdown of clotting factors in the blood, and/or a low dose of aspirin.
"Overall, the outcome benefits provided by preoperative aspirin therapy may override its possible risk of excess bleeding in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Nonetheless, further studies are certainly needed to examine this potential side effect carefully," Sun and colleagues wrote.
Added Zvi Grunwald, chair of anesthesiology at Jefferson, "While we are excited that the study clearly showed that preoperative use of aspirin significantly reduced major complications and mortality in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, we do urge further study before recommending aspirin for cardiac surgery patients prior to surgery."
In addition to Sun and Young, study investigators included senior author Longhui Cao, Scott Silvestry, Will Sun and James Diehl of Thomas Jefferson University; Hong Lui of UC Davis; and Ning Zhao of the University of Pennsylvania Health System.
Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals (TJUH) are dedicated to excellence in patient care, patient safety and the quality of the health-care experience. Consistently ranked by U.S. News & World Report among the nation's top hospitals, Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, established in 1825, has over 900 licensed acute care beds with major programs in a wide range of clinical specialties. TJUH is one of the few hospitals in the U.S. that is both a level 1 trauma center and a federally-designated regional spinal cord injury center. TJUH patient care facilities include Jefferson Hospital for Neuroscience, the region's only dedicated hospital for neuroscience, Methodist Hospital in South Philadelphia, and additional patient care facilities throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey. TJUH partners with its education affiliate, Thomas Jefferson University. For information, visit www.jeffersonhospital.org.

Brazil's 2016 Olympics could uproot residents of Rio slum
It didn't take Inalva Mendes Brito long to react when she got the word at a meeting in a cramped government office in Rio de Janeiro that the home and neighborhood she's occupied for 30 years would have to come down to make room for the 2016 Summer Olympics.
"No to Injustice, Yes to Vila Autodromo," declared a sign she unfurled with her husband.
Brito, a 65-year-old schoolteacher, is among thousands of residents of Vila Autodromo and other neighborhoods who are being asked to sacrifice their homes to accommodate Olympic facilities and infrastructure for the 2016 Games.
Widely regarded in Rio and throughout Brazil as an opportunity for this booming country to assert itself on the world stage, the Olympics will carry a cost that will be measured not only in money but also in the uprooting of decades-old communities – of homes lost and family and friends scattered.
"The land doesn't belong to just a few people," Brito said. "Land belongs to everyone, especially those of us who are working and built on this area and who stayed in the city and took care of this land. And now we are going to pay the cost of the Olympic Games? The cost of this should not be our houses."
That cost might be particularly hard on Vila Autodromo, known in Rio as a favela, or shantytown. Favelas are infamous in Rio and beyond for their poverty, drug gangs, violence and slums. But not all favelas fit the stereotype.
Occupying a choice site on a lagoon, Vila Autodromo is home to about 4,000 people – many of them employed, many small-business people, many who live in modest homes with small gardens that wouldn't be out of place in one of Rio's middle-class neighborhoods. What makes it a favela is the fact that it isn't served by public utilities and was founded by squatters.
On a recent visit, little girls played on chalk-drawn hopscotch courts while teenage boys congregated on porches. Televisions and computer monitors, albeit clunky and outdated, were seen in many homes, and refrigerators were stocked with homegrown produce and self-caught fish.
"Life here is very calm," said Wanessa Christine Quintiano, who's 17. "It's a very nice place to live. There are no fights."
For almost two decades now, the fate of the residents of Vila Autodromo has been uncertain. In 1992, they were told they needed to move because their homes were an environmental risk. The city then expressed interest in taking over the area for the Pan American Games in 2007, hoping to show the world what it could do if given the opportunity to host the Olympics.
By mobilizing and enlisting the support of campaigning groups, the residents of Vila Autodromo were able to foil these attempts to evict them. When Brazil was awarded the 2016 Olympic Games, many residents were conflicted.
"I was happy in a way because I knew with the World Cup also coming in, it would give me a lot more work because I am in construction," said Antonio Carlos, 37, who makes doors, windows, shower stalls and mirrors at his workshop in Vila Autodromo. "But I also think they are going to do everything they can to take us out of here."
Brito maintains that the city keeps changing its story as to why they need to move now. Originally, they were told that their land had been designated as an Olympic news media center. Then they were told it was to be part of the security perimeter. Most recently, they were told that their neighborhood is blocking the path of a new highway meant to accommodate visitors.
Residents have since been given the option of accepting compensation from the city in exchange for their land – although residents say the amount of money is too little to buy other property nearby – or being relocated to other housing projects. The area surrounding Vila Autodromo is considered prime real estate in Brazil, where housing demand far outstrips supply.
"Most of the relocations in the city aim at removing families who live in risk areas" and are "required to improve city infrastructure," according to the 2016 Olympic Games website. "Where necessary, in order to avoid any losses to dwellers, the relocation is carried out by common agreement with the families."
Not everyone is reassured.
"All my friends live here and they grew up with me," Quintiano said. "There's cousins in all of these houses, and all of my family lives here. I grew up with all of my friends here."
City officials have said that residents will be relocated to a better place, but a visit to a plot where the city originally planned to relocate them, a few miles away, suggests why many were dead set against the move. A stream of open sewage full of discarded newspapers and debris lines the road that separates the new neighborhood from the adjacent one. The mayor shelved that option after reports that the official requirements for launching the project hadn't been fulfilled and the area was deemed at risk for mudslides.
All this uncertainty has the community on edge.
"We live here, we work here and we depend on the people around here to be able to work," Carlos said. "We are neighbors, and we are desperate. We are very hopeless. Every night we go to sleep thinking about removals. We wake up thinking about removals."

HACKENSACK, N.J. — New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy signed an executive order moving to save the Affordable Care Act in Hackensack Sunday morning.
The governor was joined by other law makers, city officials and residents at the Mount Olive Baptist Church on Central Avenue.
The move directs all state agencies to work to promote the Affordable Care Act in New Jersey.
"The Republican leadership in Congress tried to destroy the Affordable Care Act," Murphy said in an interview ahead of his gubernatorial campaign.
"They tried to take health care away from those who need it the most. They have put a tax plan into law that divides us, that will hurt the working poor and the middle class. None of it is irretrievable. Again, I'm an optimist. We can get all of this back. It won't be easy, and it will take time, but we can get it back."

katpot necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 173 diseños de 29 diseñadores freelance.
I'm an Australian girl and the technical founder of a new fashion startup - ShopHunt.
ShopHunt is an online fashion community of shoppers who 'hunt' online shopping bargains and hard to find pieces. It's female-focused but not exclusively.
Fashion lovers (both men & women, 18 to 40 years old) who shop a lot online. Bullseye audience is a 29 year old professional woman who reads Vogue and iD magazine, shops on Net-A-Porter and loves Apple, eBay and Chanel.
1. The logo should focus on the text 'SHOPHUNT'. Your design can choose if the text should appear as uppercase, propercase or lowercase.
2. Submit logo on dark background and white/light background
3. I would love you to incorporate the 'hunt' theme into the logo's creative design. For example:
- tribal themes: spears, tribal face paint, feathers, beads.
- animal themes: zebra patterns, tiger/cheetah.
This tribal theme can be subtle or prominent. I do prefer minimal logos - so please don't make the design too busy with multiple fonts & multiple images.
4. Keep it timeless. The font should be a font that a fashion magazine would use. The tribal theme should be something you'd see a model wearing or holding in a tribal themed fashion photo shoot in Vogue.
5. Logo should be convertable to a favicon equivalent. The favicon should have a strong identity and be recognisable.
6. We'll be judging submissions based on the quality of the form and how the elements fit together - the logo should reproduce in black and white, monochrome and colour.
* Please keep the 'hunt' theme as a tribal theme only. I don't want anything that looks like war or military.
* the type should be modern, without being too "tech" or futuristic.
* nothing too "girly", although the brand has a larger % of female customers, it's not exclusive to women.

I can't think of a stock that's more hated.
We've written about this company several times before. And just about every time we mention it, we end up receiving nasty emails admonishing the fact that we would cover -- let alone recommend -- investors own shares of this company.
In fact, it happens so often that whenever we cover this stock, I instruct our staff to put in a mention that this investment isn't for everyone. If you don't want to invest in this stock, I can certainly understand. But if you have an open mind toward this black sheep, you're likely to appreciate what it can do for you.
Simply take a look at its performance in the past five years...
In another year marked by stagnating growth, a slowdown in emerging markets and uncertainty almost everywhere, the most hated company on the planet -- Philip Morris International (NYSE: PM) -- is still making investors rich.
Unfortunately, I've noticed that more and more investors seem to be tricked into thinking investing has to be complicated. But stocks like Philip Morris prove that making money doesn't have to be hard.
Philip Morris doesn't have a complicated business model. It is simply one of the most dominant and shareholder-friendly companies on the planet. The company does business in more than 180 countries and owns seven of the world's top 15 global brands in its market.
But it has also made a mission of rewarding its shareholders. In the last five years, it has returned more than $22 billion in dividends while increasing the payments per share by 84.8%.
Today, the shares already pay a healthy yield of 4.3%. But if you bought shares today and Phillip Morris kept raising its dividend by 16% a year (as it has averaged over the past five years), your dividend income would nearly double and you'd collect a yield of 7.9% just five years from now.
Then there are the buybacks. Since May 2008, the company has repurchased more than $27 billion in stock -- or nearly 23% of the outstanding shares. And the company recently announced another three-year, $18 billion stock repurchase plan that began a year ago.
All of these moves simply make the stock more valuable, even if earnings don't rise a cent. And as you can see in the chart above, that's showing up in the share price as well.
Of course, with investing there's never a surefire thing. There's no quality a company can possess that will guarantee its success.
Action to Take --> But there's a reason I named Philip Morris one of my Top 10 Stocks for 2014. When you can find companies that dominate their market and are returning billions to investors, these stocks that can still deliver strong returns in nearly any market -- including this one.

Boo Corrigan is torn.
His parents Gene and Lena were born and raised in Baltimore, and the younger Corrigan started a sports marketing company in the city. But as the athletic director for the United States Military Academy, Corrigan is understandably wary about the Army-Navy football game returning to Charm City for 2014 and 2016.
"I feel most for our cadets who have to get up that morning and take an eight-hour bus ride down," Corrigan said. "They're leaving in the military term of oh-dark-thirty to get down to Baltimore. I don't even know how Annapolis is going to get over, but I know it's a whole lot shorter than eight hours.
"But we love Baltimore," he continued. "Baltimore is a great city, the Ravens organization has been tremendous. So we know that they're going to do a great job. It's just that the distance is a little bit further for one way than it is for the other."
The 115th edition of arguably college football's greatest rivalry is scheduled to take place at M&T Bank Stadium on Dec. 13, 2014, the first time the game will be played in Baltimore since 2007. It will be back here again in 2016.
The Midshipmen won the 2007 game in a 38-3 rout before an announced 71,610. While that pales in comparison to the record of about 120,000 that watched both sides finish in a 21-21 tie at Soldier Field in Chicago on Nov. 27, 1926, the 2007 turnout is slightly better than the crowds that have attended the past nine games in Philadelphia. (Saturday's game is at Lincoln Financial Field in Philly for the fifth time in the past six years.)
John M. Bird — senior vice president of military affairs for the USAA, which presents the game — said Baltimore has always welcomed both service academies, their graduates and their fans with open arms.
"I think Baltimore is a great city with certainly great sports franchises there and great stadiums," said Byrd, who readily disclosed that he is a retired Navy vice admiral. "All that is very positive. I think it's always very wonderful when any city — and certainly one as historic as Baltimore — reaches out and wants to host the game. So it's not a matter of who's better. It's just a fact that people, a community, a wonderful city like Baltimore appreciates the value of the Army-Navy game and all that it represents — in particular, the representation of men and women who serve their country. So I applaud Baltimore, am looking forward to seeing the game in Baltimore. I think it's going to be a wonderful event."
After the 2008 season, the game was opened to a competitive process, and Dick Cass, president of the Ravens, said it didn't take much to convince the NFL franchise and the city to throw their hats into the ring.
"It's a great event for the city of Baltimore," Cass said. "It attracts a lot of people and showcases Baltimore in its best light. It's a great television event, and for the people who get to come to the game and see the activities around the game, it's just a very exciting experience."
Added Terry Hasseltine, director of the Maryland Office of Sports Marketing: "The Army-Navy Game is one of the premier collegiate sporting events in the country, steeped with tradition that cannot be rivaled. We're honored to welcome the two military academies, their fans and alumni to Baltimore and the Camden Yards Sports Complex in 2014 and 2016. The Army-Navy game again allows Baltimore to showcase itself as an ideal sports destination for hosting large and impactful events."
There is the perception, however, that Philadelphia — which has hosted 84 of the 113 games — is the more neutral site because of its fairly equidistant proximity to Annapolis and West Point, N.Y.
Asked about next year's game shifting to Baltimore, Army coach Rich Ellerson replied, "Playing a road game?" before insisting that his sole focus is on Saturday's contest.
Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo dismissed the notion of a homefield advantage, arguing, "There's Army people in Baltimore. It's like anything. There's Army-Navy people everywhere. We don't have to travel as far, but I'm sure it's going to be split fan-wise 50-50."

Click here to watch a 30-second clip from the upcoming episode of "Secret Millionaire" featuring Marcus Lemonis.
The episode of the "Secret Millionaire" featuring Camping World CEO Marcus Lemonis will air Aug. 5 on ABC TV, the production company announced.
Each episode of "Secret Millionaire" follows one of America's most successful business people for a week as they leave the comforts of home behind. They keep their true identities hidden while living in some of the country's most impoverished neighborhoods.
Lemonis returns to his home town of Miami to live and volunteer among its poorest residents, learning firsthand about their daily struggles and how he can use his success and leadership to help them break the cycle of tough times.
"Secret Millionaire reflects perfectly the Good Sam philosophy of giving back where it's needed," said Lemonis of his life-changing experience on the show. "Good Sam was founded back in 1966, loosely based on the story of the Good Samaritan who went out of his way to help a fellow traveler," he said. "This show provided me personally a great opportunity to help others in my hometown community."
Lemonis will host an advance screening of the episode Aug. 5 at 6 p.m. at The Miracle Theater, 280 Miracle Mile in Coral Gables, Fla. DJ Irie and Barton G. will also be special guests at the screening.

Little do they realize, however, that Yogi Berra's famous apercu gets superseded by Cooper's Corollary: it should be over.
Warner Bros.' decision to exclusively support the Blu-ray format may help settle a very muddled matter. When the biggest company in the home-video business chooses sides, that's big news. By my count, that now makes five of the seven major Hollywood studios backing Blu-ray. My hunch is that most retailers will follow suit.
The unanswered question is how long we're going to have to wait until the HD DVD camp gives up.
These things have a way of dragging out longer than they should. So it was that
If you believe Ozaka, his team will still come out on top. I was reminded of a hysterically funny scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail where the Black Knight gets chopped to pieces by King Arthur but refuses to give up. "It's just a flesh wound," the Black Knight says.
Maybe this is just a flesh wound. Or maybe it's something more.
I understand why Ozaka is performing the stiff-upper-lip routine. Competing camps in any standards battle have a lot riding on the outcome. And so it is in this case, where the victors will help themselves to a big pot of gold brimming with billions of dollars in revenues.
But let's get real. Outside of the protagonists and their immediate families, do you really care who comes out on top? And is there any good reason you should?
For the rest of us, it's just inside baseball, and frankly, I'm bored silly after two years of listening to claims and counterclaims. When it comes to making their case, both sides are guilty of hideous hyperbole.
Is Blu-ray better than HD DVD or vice versa? I don't know, but I'm not swayed by the opinions of experts either camp trots out to convince me. Anyway, you can buy supposedly impartial opinions 20 cents on the dollar and pawn them off as "authoritative" and "unbiased." Everybody's for sale, so buyer beware.
Just make things easy so I don't get hosed. Too many times consumer electronics companies go stone deaf after leaving their customers in the lurch. If you want my loyalty, make sure my stuff runs on a platform that won't get dumped a couple of years later. I hold grudges about that sort of thing.
Until now, I've held off upgrading to a new player because of the uncertainty over this standards nonsense. I remember VHS versus Betamax and that episode taught a valuable lesson. Nobody in their right mind wants to get stuck with a loser, so it's prudent to wait on the sidelines until things get sorted out.
When I covered sports for a living, a veteran pulled me aside on my first day and said, "There's no cheering in the press box. You cheer for the best story."
Pulling on my user hat, I'm now ready to cheer. Not because I have a vested interest in HD DVD or Blu-ray. I just want clarity. Folks, it's time to move on.

PMCI necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 437 diseños de 97 diseñadores freelance.
Looking for a bold and sophisticated logo and an identity package for an energy market consulting company. The design must be original. Avoid blatant electricity symbols and "retail" looking logos. Should be clean and in vector (not raster) format, and all rights to the logo transferred to us upon purchase.
Power Market Consulting, Inc.
Welcome to our contest! We are in need of a company identity package (logo, business card design, and letterhead/envelope). We're positive that someone here can produce something perfect for us.
We are Power Market Consulting, Inc. (PMCI), a premier regulatory and business systems consultancy providing the industry expertise to the wholesale electric power industry. Our clients include power generation asset owner, electric utilities, energy market operators, municipal utilities, software vendors, and law firms. Thus, the logo should show confidence and professionalism, as well as boldness and sophistication. Our clients tend to be conservative, engineering or accounting professionals.
We have a strong preference for a logo that captures what our business is about. So, we want to take some time to explain our industry and business because they are not visible to the end users of electricity. Our business is about providing financial expertise to entities that are in one way or another related to trading wholesale electric power. The electric power, at the wholesale level, is traded amongst power generator, marketers (traders), and utilities for deliveries priced at several thousand points on the power grid as the prices vary every 5-minutes. We provide strategic consulting for trading electricity and software systems that manage the transactions.
Lastly, we will own the workproduct and all rights (i.e. use and modification) associated with the logo will be reserved by PMCI once the full payment is made with the finished product. However, we do grant the designer to be able to display the logo as part of their design portfolio.
Surprise us with your talent! Have fun with this! We look forward to your best work.
- We would like to see a logo that captures the essence of either the consulting or the electricity trading aspect of our business.
- One concept is to capture the market/trading aspect of the client business that we serve. Reflecting dynamic, volatile, balance of supply and demand nature of the market
- Another concept we would like to have, if possible, is to capture the nodal aspect of power market. We saw an image that reflects the concept though it is not related to electricty trading. Please take a look at the image in the following link or page 10 of this presentation.
- Another concept is just a simple design with our company name not in typed-out fonts, but some sort of rendition of the company name. (I am not sure if I am describing this right...)
- If special fonts are used, the designer must provide a way for us to use the font.
- We would prefer the logo to be in the following formats: .AI, .EPS, .GIF, .JPG for best resolution and easy printing. The logo should be in vector format, not raster, so the logo can be resized without the loss of quality. In addition, the background should be clear so the logo can be used in different color backgrounds.
- In terms of the use, we will be using the logo for our business cards, stationary, website (to be built), print media, and marketing material (shirts). So, please make sure the logo will work well in different medium.
- We are looking for something very simple for the letterhead and the envelope.
- literal images of electricity related symbols like light bulb, lighting bolt, electric plugs, powerlines, electrons or anyting related to electronics
- Avoid cartoon-like fonts and graphics. We are aiming for simple and clean sophistication.

This probably explains the high fares to Leh, combined with the requirement of flying in the morning only.

Hi everyone! As 2012 winds down, I wanted to reflect on the some of the top tech highlights I've noticed this year.
1) The era of the PC as our only connection to the Internet is slowly waning
It's not to say I think the PC is dead. Nothing could be further from the truth. But as I mentioned in my blog about Microsoft and the Surface, smartphones and tablets are a disruptive innovator.
A recent Forrester Study highlighted some key trends in how people are connected to the internet:
- 84% of US adults use the internet daily
- 50% use Smartphones and 19% use tablets
- 18-23 year-olds are the most active social media users
- Gen X'ers spend the most money shopping online
The age of consumers using multiple devices is here. And software companies are doing their best to offer a unified experience across all of these devices. I've discussed Microsoft's gamble with Windows 8 at length, but the move towards tablets and smartphones has implications for more than just the B2C space.
If you are a B2B marketer, you will need to take Tablets and Smartphones into account when designing your outreach programs. For example, with people increasingly relying on their smartphones for email, outreach emails will need to be concise and contain a simple attention grabbing subject.
Websites will need to be tailored to Tablet and Mobile devices. In essence, you will want to simplify your message so your value proposition is clearly conveyed in a mobile device setting.
2) The Cloud is becoming more prominent in the market
If you're a B2B marketer in the SaaS space you already know this. But the public and many people in Enterprise are just starting to look into the Cloud as a solution for their needs. Much of what they know about the Cloud comes from daily interactions via Apple's iCloud, Dropbox, and popular apps like Spotify.
Given the public's awareness of the Cloud is in its nascent stages, as marketers you have an opportunity to educate them on what the Cloud is, how it can help them, and why it will cost less.
At the same time, you will need to keep attuned to what the mainstream media is reporting about the Cloud. Over Christmas, Netflix went down to the dismay of many. Interestingly, in their press release, Netflix pointedly blamed Amazon Web Services for the outage. This is only one example, but it goes to show the impact this style of reporting can have on a potential economic buyer. While your user buyer is likely well acquainted with the Cloud and the benefits, an economic buyer might not as aware.
3) Economic and regulatory pressures will continue to open up more opportunities for SaaS space
In my buyer research at Openview I've found a consistent pattern in the interviews I've conducted. Economic and user buyers are turning to the Cloud for potential cost savings and the ability to access their resources on demand. In addition, buyers who are operating in heavily regulated environments see the Cloud as a critical tool to deal with compliance regulations and simplify their operations.

In 1792, Clark was appointed second lieutenant in the U.S. Army; he served under General Anthony Wayne and participated in the Battle of Fallen Timbers (1794). He was the captain of a rifle company in which Meriwether Lewis served. Clark resigned from the army in 1796 to focus on family affairs. In 1803, Lewis invited him to help lead the expedition to the Northwest. In 1807, Clark was appointed chief Indian agent and brigadier general of the militia for Louisiana Territory. He served as governor of Louisiana Territory. He died at St. Louis in 1838 (Holmberg, Brother, xxvii-xxx; Ambrose, 45).
