The [[WEBSITE_NAME]] Software and Third-Party Software.
[[WEBSITE_NAME]] offers a number of different types of [[WEBSITE_NAME]] Software as described below. If you have downloaded or otherwise Used any of the following [[WEBSITE_NAME]] Software applications, the relevant section below will apply to you accordingly: 2.1 Toolbar: [[WEBSITE_NAME]] offers the Toolbar ("Toolbar") that may be customized by third parties (each of these third parties is referred to as a "Publisher") and then distributed to you via Publishers. Following your agreement to this EULA, the Toolbar is in Use on your computer and/or mobile device. Certain Toolbars may include web search box(es) and other features as further detailed in Section 3 below. By Using the Toolbar, you may enable [[WEBSITE_NAME]] to access, use, and collect a variety of information, both personal and non-personal, regarding your Internet Browser, your browsing habits, and information about your computer (additional information is further detailed in Section 3 below). Third-Party Software: The Publishers of Toolbars may use data, information, trademarks or service marks, links, web pages, images, software and code, text, photos, audio or video sounds, and/or visual works and components they own or control (collectively "Third-Party Software") to customize the Toolbar, and then distribute it to you. [[WEBSITE_NAME]] does not have control of nor does it take any responsibility for Third-Party Software. Some Publishers may distribute the Toolbar as stand-alone Software and some may distribute it as part of a package containing the Toolbar bundled with Third-Party Software. Third-Party Software is the responsibility of the Publishers and not [[WEBSITE_NAME]]. Some Third-Party Software and/or Toolbars may contain Cookies or other tracking mechanisms. Sometimes the Third-Party Software may be presented in an I-frame in your Browser. When this happens, because you are interacting directly with the Third-Party Software, this interaction is considered a first-party interaction. Therefore, if Cookies are used by the Publisher, your Browser settings will treat the Cookie as a first-party Cookie. For more information about Cookies and how they are used within the Toolbars or any other [[WEBSITE_NAME]] Software, please review the [[WEBSITE_NAME]] Privacy Policy here. Third-Party Software will have their own terms and conditions and privacy policies and we urge you to review them prior to using them as your use of such Third-Party Software is subject to those terms and conditions and privacy policies. Third-Party Software is not owned by [[WEBSITE_NAME]]. [[WEBSITE_NAME]] is not responsible for any Third-Party Software and you acknowledge that Third-Party Software may be modified or removed by its respective content owners at any time. You assume all responsibility and risk of use of any Third-Party Software and [[WEBSITE_NAME]] hereby disclaims any and all liability to you or any third party related thereto. [[WEBSITE_NAME]] does not have any obligation to examine or scan Third-Party Software, for any purpose, and is not responsible for the accuracy, completeness, appropriateness, or legality of any Third-Party Software. The fact that Third-Party Software is available via the Toolbar or otherwise is not an endorsement or authorization by [[WEBSITE_NAME]] of any third party, nor is it an endorsement of such Third-Party Software, and you hereby waive any legal or equitable rights or remedies you have or may have against [[WEBSITE_NAME]] with respect thereto. In addition to the [[WEBSITE_NAME]] Software licensed to you, [[WEBSITE_NAME]] also provides a platform to Publishers and other third parties in which they are presented with a large number of tools to enable them to create interesting and unique apps, buttons, and gadgets that they may distribute to you within the Toolbar. Some of these tools may give these third parties the ability to access, collect, store, and/or share your information. Again, such Publisher's apps should be accompanied by terms and privacy policies describing the policies and information collection practices of the Publishers. As [[WEBSITE_NAME]] is merely the provider of the technology and these third parties are using it and making it available to you, such Publishers' apps are also considered Third-Party Software. 2.2 Search Protect.

Pipes vs. vessels
CT editor-in-chief Jeff Sloan notes the value of composite pressure vessel standards in the growing market for seawater desalination.
American and European manufacturers are unduly burdened by regulation.
This lament often includes a reference to the fact that developing countries, such as China and India, have little or no regulation and, thus, enjoy a competitive advantage, unfettered by governmental overreach.
No matter how you feel about government regulation, it's true that there was a time in American and European history when manufacturers faced almost no regulation at all. Factory owners were free to employ whoever was willing to work for the wage offered, regardless of the employee's age, the factory's working conditions, the expected work hours, or the safety of the workplace. Labor history, as a result, is full of stories about employee injuries and deaths that resulted from equipment malfunction, lack of safety systems, fire, and fatigue-induced inattention. Government, inevitably, stepped in to establish standards for workplace safety and to prosecute offending employers.
Private industry, encouragingly, also responded, in part, by forming industry-managed organizations, like ASME (New York, N.Y.), which works with engineers to develop design, material and manufacturing standards. Among these is the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC), created in the early 1900s after boilers exploded at two shoe-manufacturing plants in Massachusetts, killing and injuring scores of people.
Fast-forward to the late 1970s, when then-new fiber-reinforced composite tubes used to house the membranes that enable saltwater reverse osmosis systems (SWRO; see "Designing pressure vessels for seawater desalination plants" under "Editor's Picks," at top right) were first designed and manufactured. SWRO systems desalt and otherwise purify ocean water, making it potable (safe for human consumption.) As our story indicates, these membrane housings were lighter, more corrosion-resistant (a boon for equipment constantly exposed to saltwater) and smoother internally than the legacy steel housings. Although these composite housings were capable of much longer service life, they lacked a design that could withstand the 600-psi pressure inside the housing. The result, at first, could be disastrous: Tubes would rupture, sending membranes, end caps and reinforcing collars, like cannon shot, through walls and windows, sometimes injuring workers.
Doug Eisberg, director of business development at Avista Technologies, recalls that composite housing manufacturers were applying the wrong standard: ASTM D2992, written for pipe. These these long, cylindrical SWRO housings resembled piping, but they were, in fact, pressure vessels, and they needed to be designed that way.
ASME stepped in, adding to its BPVC a Section 10: "Fiber-Reinforced Plastic Pressure Vessels." The new standard's test regime called for representative housings to be cycled 100,000 times from zero to design pressure at 150°F/66°C, followed by a hydrostatic test to six times the design pressure.
That's been good for customers because the ASME code stamp on a SWRO housing certifies that its supplier can and does meet a rigorous standard. But what of the suppliers — and there are a few — who wind such vessels without the certification? What of the customers who buy uncertified vessels under the impression that they do meet the standard?
The fact is that whether they are over-, under- or well-regulated, not all SWRO housing manufacturers go to the effort and expense of meeting the generally accepted standards — until and unless such negligence leads to a failure that causes injury or death. In the meantime, all of us in the composites industry pay the price via loss of confidence by customers who see the occasional failure as the norm.

Deeper And Deeper
Description: feat. Anna
(Rise Robots Rise)
Ⓟ Speed Records / The SAIFAM Group
When we used to lounge
Hangin' out in my car
'Til the sun went down
When I'd call
You'd pick up the phone
Tell me how much
You were alone
Let's get deep*
**If I ever broke down
Gave you what I felt now
Would you still hang around
Are we crazy for feeling this way
You used to laugh until you cry
You and I keepin' the world at bay
We sit around all day
Let's get deep
***Closer and closer
Everytime we turn around
You'll never be lonely
I'll keep you beside me
Deeper and deeper
I'll never go away
Sun falls torrential your highness
I'm thinkin' about the days
We left behind us
Sunshine and rain and misery
I'm looking at you beside me here
Now I don't know how
You came into my life
Wonderin' will you be my wife
Spend a day or two in Spain or France
In the rain we'll dance
Your heart next to mine
Beatin' in the rain let me explain
Let me do my thing
And tell you how I feel
This love is for real
Time is finally found us,
The children playing in the sun
Baby can't you see
Our time has come
Turning on my radio
I hear the song
And see your face
'Cuz you are the one
I can't replace
Let's get deep
I'll never give in learn to depend that
I'll be there 'til the end
I'll never give in learn to depend that
I'll be there 'til the end
Closer and closer
Everytime we turn around
You'll never be lonely
I'll keep you beside me
Closer and closer

Ah, summer, what power you have to make us suffer and like it, said American journalist, Russell Baker.
This statement rings true for me as I remember my own childhood and watch my children and those who have been at Durango Nature Studies Summer Camp all summer. For some reason, all the bug bites, scraped knees, scorching days and crawdad pinches are worth it because it is a day spent outside under the beautiful Colorado sky exploring without a time frame and without a structure.
In fact, it is often the suffering that we remember with the most fondness as time passes. I remember the teacher who changed my life taking a group of ninth-graders on a hike beside the Buffalo River in Arkansas. When we got lost and had to float the river (water moccasins and all) to find our way back, it became an epic rite of passage burned in my memory forever.
Todays generation doesnt always have the luxury of having a piece of woods or a wild plot of land that they can roam as a 6-year-old. So, we at Durango Nature Studies hope that the Nature Center becomes that place for the generations of kids growing up in Durango.
Even though they may not be completely on their own, kids get to river tromp all the way down the Florida River or climb beyond the highest trail (Rattlesnake Ramble) with just a touch of fear connected to rock scrambling and finding their own way between trails. Luckily, even the name Rattlesnake Ramble gives a touch of adventure to the long hike each group does every session. When kids are playing in the river, the brave ones go to the deep section to navigate the only place where the current picks up a little bit.
One thing I have noticed in the five years that our camp really started and has flourished into what it is today is that returning kids expect certain things. They often are teaching new counselors that this is the best place to catch crawdads, or that river tromping really gets exciting at this point, or that the same giant bullsnake likes to soak in the sun at a particular place at a particular time every day.
When the kids decide that they want their den to be Oak Hollow because it provides the most shade and hiding places, I know that they are choosing it based on their knowledge of what is special to them at the Nature Center. I have noticed that the Nature Center no longer just belongs to Durango Nature Studies or the counselors who are hired that summer. The Nature Center belongs to the kids who continue to come and love it. They are the ones living the adventures and getting to know a special place and becoming forever changed by a piece of land. Thank you for another wonderful summer and to the parents and kids who appreciate the importance of a summer spent exploring the natural world.
I will end as I began with a quote by a wise person. As Abraham Lincoln said: All my life, I have tried to pluck a thistle and plant a flower wherever the flower would grow in thought and mind.
The kids at Durango Nature Studies Junior Naturalist Field Camp have truly blossomed this summer and their memories will continue to grow throughout the year.

"My daughter is crazy."
Could she really have just said what I think she said?
"I mean, she really is crazy and she drives me crazy."
Sitting at a nursery PTA meeting one doesn't expect to hear such a harsh complaint lodged against a three year old. What could a child do to cause her own mother to label her as "crazy"?
"What makes you say that?" I probed
She grimaced. "Oh, because she just is. I ask Rachel every day what she wants in her sandwich and I make it just as she likes, but she never eats more than one bite."
Hmmmm, I pondered, such a crime could deem a child crazy?
A few minutes later I heard an exchange between this same mother and the teacher. Apparently little Rachel had returned home that day with a marker in her bag, after explaining to the teacher that it was really hers from home, despite its strong resemblance to the nursery's markers.
"Oy, what a liar my little girl is."
Did she just say liar? I stared at her in complete shock. This horribly negative term hardly fit sweet little Rachel whom my daughter loved to play with.
I kept quiet, but the next time that Rachel's mother called her daughter crazy I couldn't hold myself back. I firmly but kindly stated, "Rachel is not crazy and you really should be careful. If you keep saying she's crazy, you're going to believe it and even worse, so will she."
As long as I can remember, my mother has been my biggest fan.
My reprimand elicited no reaction, but at least I could not blame myself for silent approval of her name-calling.
In contrast, I envisioned my own mother, warm and encouraging. As long as I can remember, she has been my biggest fan.
"How artistic of you!" was the encouragement I was rewarded as a five year old after using four bottles of food coloring to tie-dye a box worth of tissues.
"You are officially hired as the house chef!" she announced when, at eight years old, I scrambled eggs and toasted leftover challah for the whole family.
"It's more fun to spend time with you," my mother said when, as a teenager, I asked her why she did not want to attend the luncheon she had been invited to.
Her gushes of supportive praise have given me the courage to think out of the box and the courage to step up to positions of leadership.
There are enough people out there that have negativity pouring out of them. Students have to face up to standardized tests and being compared to the "smart" kids, the "organized" kids, the "good listeners." Children in the playground will always be there to poke fun at their clothes and call them names. From such a young age, children have to deal with fitting in to social networks despite being too short, too tall, too heavy or too scrawny. A parent's job is to shower a child with so much positivity in order to shield them from all of the other stuff. The chill and skepticism that a child may encounter must be outweighed by the warmth and faith of his parents.
Every child has his challenges. Sometimes a toddler has a hard time sharing her toys or putting on her own shoes. Sometimes an eight year old boy feels that he just can't stop wetting his bed or that he will never hit a homerun. Sometimes a teenager doesn't believe that she has the leadership skills to be a counselor in a big sister/little sister program.
And sometimes it's the parent standing on the sidelines cheering, "I believe in you! There is no one like you!" that gives the child the needed encouragement to step out of his comfort zone and try a bit harder. Parents, grab those pom-poms! You are your child's greatest cheerleader.

As soon as Logorama won the 2010 Academy Award for Best Short Film, Animated multiple attempts were made to publicize it online in it's entirety. Each one was quickly brought down with DMCA requests in short order. Now it seems either enough time has passed and no one cares or composer Marc Altshuler has clearance where others didnt but for the time being Logorama is availiable online in it's full 16 minute length on his Vimeo account, so enjoy.
If you haven't heard of Logorama it is basically the film Quentin Tarantino & Roland Emmerich would co-direct in the nightmares of a Trademark Attorney. A crude, violent, self aware, disaster  film that relishes using any and every Corporate Brand possible to make farce. Enjoy while it lasts.
In Mini News: The 2010 Turner Prize short list has been announced almost all of the artists nominated who are suposed to be "promoting public discussion of new developments in contemporary British art" are oddly just a few years shy of the 49 year old age cutoff? Weird choices this year it seems. Time to start the Culture World's Office Pools.

The Best Resources About User Stories
2012/01/01 1 Comment
User Stories are a special kind of requirements definition that's quite common with agile teams. A big advantage of User Stories is that they can be understood by all participants – customers, users, project managers and software developers. They look something like this:
As a <type of user>, I want <some goal> so that <some reason>.
If you just started to work with User Stories you might be looking for some good resources to learn how to write good stories. Here are a few for you. If you know more please share them with us and leave a comment.

Despite some recent successes in combating fraud, Miami continues to be ground zero in Medicare fraud, as criminals morph their schemes to stay ahead of the law, a key South Florida enforcement agent told a Senate panel Wednesday.
Brian Martens, assistant special agent in charge based in Miami for the government's Medicare agency, said that fraud schemes quickly evolve – and that as enforcement efforts target certain ones, others pop up. They switch between different parts of the Medicare program, they move from area to area, and they often rely on the muscle of organized crime.
"The criminals committing these crimes are often dangerous and we regularly encounter stockpiles of weapons when we execute arrests and enforcement operations," testified Martens, who works for the inspector general at the Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees Medicare. "These criminals are taking advantage of those most vulnerable in our society – the elderly and the disabled."
Martens was speaking to the Senate Special Committee on Aging about federal efforts to combat Medicare fraud, which the committee said is estimated to cost taxpayers $60 billion to $90 billion each year. Common tactics: paying kickbacks to recruiters for finding patients and providing unnecessary services.
One particularly shocking case cited by the committee was in Michigan last year, where a physician was arrested for bilking $225 million from Medicare by falsely telling patients they had cancer and then billing for chemotherapy treatments.
Sen. Bill Nelson, a Florida Democrat who chaired the hearing, said, "We can't afford to lose this much of taxpayers' hard-earned dollars to fraud, and it's clear we can't arrest our way out of a problem of this magnitude."
South Florida – and Miami specifically – has long been a hot spot for Medicare fraud. Martens said the government has seen criminal prosecutions and monetary recovery increase while payments for certain kinds of fraud have decreased. He cited a drop in payments for community mental health centers that followed special enforcement actions. Following the attention, nationwide Medicare payments for the centers fell from an annual $273 million to $31 million, he said.
But combating fraud is often a game of Whac-a-Mole, with attention focused on one type of fraud prompting the criminals to target different areas.
"I'm just very concerned . . . that Medicare fraud has become a game of catch me if you can – and if you do catch me, it's just the price of doing business," Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., said at the hearing. "You pay a few million, maybe even a billion dollars. But pay a fine and move on, and alter your business practices only to the extent of figuring out where to minimize the odds of getting caught. If that's the case, we're always going to be behind on Medicare fraud."
Martens also said his unit was in need of more resources. "We don't have the staff that we need with the amount of fraud that goes on," he said.
The hearing came as the prosecutions of health care fraud reached a new high, according to data highlighted by the committee. The data analyzed by TRAC, a research organization at Syracuse University, found that prosecutions of health care fraud reached a new high in fiscal 2013.
The data, originally from the Justice Department, also ranked the nation's 94 federal judicial districts on their prosecutions under the nation's health care fraud law. The data were analyzed on a per capita basis.
Leading the way, with 10.1 prosecutions per million people, was the Southern District of Illinois, in East St. Louis. Second was the Southern District of Florida, in Miami, and third was the District of South Carolina.

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
I'll bet I know what kind of morning Miranda Lambert had Thursday (Nov. 1). A Special K vanilla-almond-with-skim-milk kind of morning. This being CMA Awards day and all. But if she was to have a full-on cheat day, she told me this week, it would be more of a Froot Loops and 2 percent milk morning. We were talking at the unveiling of Lambert's "Got Milk?" ad campaign at the Country Music Association's offices on Nashville's Music Row. And even though she loves to drink milk, she admits it's not always easy to keep on the tour bus. "But at home, we always have it. My mother-in-law taught me this trick: we freeze it in little containers so that we always have some ready," she said. Lambert also told the crowd gathered at the CMA office that her mom was always up in the morning making sure they had a good breakfast before school. "Even if it was a Pop-Tart and a big glass of milk out the door," she laughed. "I'm a healthy girl. I drink milk, and it does my body good."
And Lambert is getting very comfortable at home now. She told me how she and husband Blake Shelton have been living in his hunting lodge, and that he recently let her have at it. "He let me fix it up and make it a little more girly while we're taking our time building our dream house," she said. "So I painted the cabinets, put some new furniture around and in the four bedrooms. It was all boyish. So I just made it a little more me."

News Releases
Maryland Health Care Facilities Recognized for Environmental Success
November 14, 2012
Baltimore, Md. – Five Maryland hospitals and one nurse were honored for their environmental health achievements with awards at the Maryland Hospitals for a Healthy Environment's (MD H2E) fifth annual Environmental Excellence in Health Care Conference, held today at the University of Maryland School of Nursing.
Carmela Coyle, president and CEO of the Maryland Hospital Association, presented five Trailblazer Awards. Trailblazer Awards are given annually to hospitals that have shown leadership in advancing sustainability in their operations. The 2012 winners are:
Deer's Head Hospital Center – The first state hospital to win a Trailblazer Award, Deer's Head demonstrated a reduction in its fuel usage, by developing an environmentally friendly method to manage utilities. Through an extensive energy management program, Deer's Head will save more than 50 percent on utilities in the upcoming year.
Greater Baltimore Medical Center (GBMC) – This past year, GBMC has been dedicated to providing options for an improved diet for patients, employees, and visitors. During the first month after launching a campaign to promote healthier beverages, hospital sales of non-sugary drinks exceeded sugary ones for the first time on record. GBMC reduced food waste by 1,100 pounds per month from March to August of 2012, and installed hydration stations which encourage refilling reusable bottles with filtered water.
MedStar Union Memorial Hospital (MUMH) – MUMH instituted a furniture and supply recycling database, New2U, which employees can access through the hospital's intranet. When an employee attempts to purchase new items, they are first asked if they've checked the inventory. To date, 160 items have been donated, 354 reused in-house, and 166 sold to employees for personal use.
Sinai Hospital of Baltimore – Sinai Hospital started an employee garden this year that has been extremely popular. Currently 36 gardeners are registered to work on the 18 plots, with one plot allocated to a family of six in the community. Employees have grown radishes, broccoli, spinach, herbs, and much more. The committee plans to incorporate more community and food-service benefits as the project continues to "blossom."
University of Maryland Medical Center (UMMC) – Nurses on UMMC's Mother/Baby Unit launched the New Moms' Pilot to Reduce Newborn Exposures to Pesticides program, the first of its kind. Nurses educate new moms on the health risks associated with pesticides and give them a tool kit, which includes an educational DVD, a booklet, and non-toxic pest control, cleaning, and baby care product samples, all provided in a reusable tote.
Charlotte Wallace, RN, a pediatric nurse and sustainability coordinator for Anne Arundel Medical Center (AAMC), was awarded the Nursing Leadership in Environmental Health Award. Wallace is one of only two nurses in the state to hold a sustainability position in a medical system. She has implemented many environmental initiatives at AAMC, including money-saving recycling programs, a farmers' market, and the addition of environmental health information in newborn classes.
