Vermont Health Connect is reporting
what it calls "privacy incidents" to the federal government and
Vermont lawmakers.
The online health exchange has been
working to fix problems with the website, and has reported Health Connect users
accidentally being able to see another client's personal information before.
Now, Commissioner Mark Larson is
making regular reports to state lawmakers detailing any incident involving a
user's private information. He says during the prime sign up period between
Dec. 20 and Jan. 24, two users had private info accidentally exposed to another
user seven times. Larson says the incidents were due to human error-- like an
envelope stuffed with the wrong person's form-- not technical glitches or a
security breach from outside the system.

The conversation with society has changed profoundly in this last decade. It's no longer a conversation about overcoming deficiency, it's a conversation about augmentation; potential. A prosthetic limb doesn't represent the need to replace loss anymore. It can stand as a symbol that the wearer has the power to create whatever it is that they want to create in that space. So, people that society once considered to be disabled can now become architects of new identities and indeed continue to change those identities by designing their bodies from a place of empowerment.
And, what is exciting to me, so much, right now, is that by combining cutting edge technology (robotics, bionics, etc.) with the age old poetry, we are moving closer to understanding our collective humanity. I think that if we want to discover the full potential of our humanity, we need to celebrate those heartbreaking strengths and those glorious disabilities that we all have. I think of Shakespeare's Shylock: "If you prick us, do we not bleed, and if you tickle us, do we not laugh."
It is our humanity and all the potential within us that makes us beautiful.

What do toddlers do while they're sitting on the potty? Well I'm glad you asked. Many things, as it turns out. Sure, there's the difficult, serious work at hand. But that takes time. What to do while you're waiting for Godot? Let these little people demonstrate the options. In a totally tasteful way, of course!
I laughed out loud at #2. My two year old stuck his head in the toilet the first time we put the potty seat on it.
I'm probably uptight for saying this, but I'm uncomfortable with having pictures of kids on the toilet on a website like this.
Number one is super cute. My son likes for me to be in another room but he still wants to talk to me so we end up yelling back and forth.
My brother was mortified that my mom had a picture of him on the toliet when he was young. He ended up destroying the picture. I have to pity the kids who have mothers that put them on the internet. That is really wrong.
My grandson is 3 years old and refuses to go to the potty, he hates it. He wears trainng pants and won't tell you anything until he has done it. I refuse to hit him for still doing #1 and #2 in his pull-ups. I heard it's harder for boys. I only had a daughter, so my grandson is my first boy. We don't have a male in the household to show him by example. I am praying about it, we have tried everything under the sun.

Knowingly you die, and because knowingly you die.how can you die? Your knowing, your consciousness continues - knowingly you are born. There is no discontinuity between your death and your birth.
Your realization of this ordinarily would be called "the great life," but there is some reason why Zen has chosen to call it "the great death." The reason is that the great death comes first; behind it is revealed the great life. Unless you open the door of the great death, you won't enter into the space of great life.
Joshu asked Tosu, "What if a man of the great death comes back to life again?"
Now another distinction has to be made which is not clear in the anecdote and is not commented upon by Setcho either. But without bringing in another distinction the experience remains incomplete; it is not entire.
There is death. There is the great death And there is the greatest death. In death you die unconsciously. In the great death you die consciously, but you are born again. In the greatest death you only die; you are not reborn, you simply disappear into the immensity of existence - you disperse yourself in the wholeness of the cosmos.
It is because of this fact Mahavira cannot be born again. There is no way for him to get back into any form; he has become formless. But there are meditators who have not reached the ultimate peak but who have some light, some consciousness, that remains while they are dying. They will be born again; they are not yet ripe enough to disappear into the cosmos. They have not learned the whole secret and mystery of life; they have to go on the pilgrimage a little more.
Joshu's question is, What if a man of the great death comes back to life again?
His question seems to be relevant, because there is no precedence in which a third kind of death is recognized. He is asking: "I can understand the great death, that you die consciously, but what about a man dying consciously and coming back to life again?"
He is asking about the third distinction, because we have known of many people simply disappearing into air and they never come back again - and there are millions who go on coming back. They never learn their homework; their lives remain mundane and unconscious. But even if sometimes a few people become a little bit conscious, it is better than not being conscious at all. These people will be born - and from their very birth they will show distinctions, uniquenesses, which ordinary children are not supposed to show.
But this is not the ultimate death which everybody is seeking. Only in ultimate death do you relax totally into existence, not to come back. This coming back is not something great; it is coming back to the prison.

Cain: What Happened in Florida
Greg, it's funny how if yah get the math, science, and engineering right … then the economics and politics falls into place … and remains in-place long after the ideology-first politicians and the paid corporate shills are forgotten.
A comprehensive account of how, back in the 1950s, those nutty PhDs — including von Neumann, Ramo, et al. — launched a little enterprise called "The Computing, Electronics, and Aerospace Industry" is Neil Sheehan's A Fiery Peace in a Cold War: Bernard Schriever and the Ultimate Weapon (Random House, 2009).
Oh yeah … in their spare time these same 1950s "Tea Pot" nutjobs who launched the computing, electronics, and aerospace industries warned us that AGW was coming.
Weird, huh? Gosh … maybe these 1950s "Tea Pot" nutjobs were 100% right?

What Is a Detox Diet?

What Is a Detox Diet, and Who Needs It?
Yo-yo dieter Oprah went on the 21-Day Cleanse back in the summer of 2008, singer Beyonce Knowles has admitted to following the Master Cleanse to shed 20 pounds for her movie role in Dreamgirls, and actress Gwyneth Paltrow sent out a newsletter this January from her lifestyle Web site, GOOP.com, touting a weeklong elimination diet. "I need to lose a few pounds of holiday excess," she wrote. "Anyone else?"
Such celebrities seem to buy into so-called "detox diets" as a way to drop pounds fast. But the real premise of a true elimination diet or cleanse program (both types of detoxification diets, or "detox diets" for short) is to facilitate the removal of toxins and pollutants from your body. How? By cutting out your intake of contaminants, so you'll gradually eliminate unhealthy substances like pesticides, smog and pollution, alcohol, and caffeine from your body.
"There are a lot of people who believe that because we live in a world with so many environmental pollutants and medications that people are taking, the liver is overstressed," explains Mary Jane Detroyer, a New York-based registered dietitian and exercise physiologist. "The whole idea of a detox diet is to rid toxins from the body, because the liver is overloaded and needs some outside help."
But do our bodies actually need a special diet to cleanse itself? Not really, says Dawn Jackson Blatner, an American Dietetic Association spokesperson and FITNESS advisory board member. "Our bodies have organs such as the liver, kidneys, skin, lungs, and digestive system to remove these unnecessary substances every day without the help of any special detox diet or potions to help it along."
Compared to how many people try fad detox diets, few people actually need it. (To see if you do, Detroyer recommends getting your liver enzymes checked out by your physician. "If they're elevated, that means your liver is stressed," she says. Several factors can cause elevated levels, such as medication, excessive alcohol consumption, or being overweight.)
However, if you still feel inclined to embark on a detox plan, dieter beware: "For most healthy people, doing a detox for a few days won't lead to any long-term health problems," says Blatner. "However, for someone who has conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, digestive issues, or women who are pregnant, children or teens, and elderly, these extreme changes to their diet can mean anything from dizziness to fainting to coma since the diets affect electrolyte and blood sugar balance."
And even if you don't suffer from any of those conditions, taking on a long-term cleanse (ahem, Oprah) can lead to a host of other problems, such as vitamin and mineral deficiency and muscle breakdown -- not really surprising when you're doing something extreme like drinking nothing but lemon water with maple syrup and cayenne pepper for 10 days, as the Master Cleanse encourages.
Still, there may be one good side effect from starting a detox plan: "A healthy person following a short-term detox diet may get a bit of a mental jump start into eating healthier and exercising for the rest of the year," Blatner concedes.

adding Zeolites to your detox plan helps reduce the impact on the liver and improves the removal of toxins. see http://rejuvenate.mytouchstoneessentials.com/pure-body-extra-strength/?GTTabs=32/10/2014 04:36:50 PM Report Abuse

Wow everyone has a lot of recommendations... but at least everyone is interested! I would def recommend doing a detox/cleanse from time to time( at least a few times a year) I just finished the sugar detox on www.detoxfromsugar.com and it was pretty easy (but I have done detoxes before) either way you should give it a try!

How Healthy is Healthcare in Hawaii? - Extended Version
Leading doctors and other experts discuss major trends and problems in Hawaii healthcare
(page 5 of 8)
Pressler: We were starting to run out of time. I have more questions I'd love to ask but we're starting to run out of time. So, let me ask if payments to primary doctors were doubled, access would increase, hospitalizations would decrease, and millions of dollars would be saved. Why can't doctors have control of their pay and their patients' health instead of giving all of the resources to insurance and other companies? I think that was a statement but I think that many of you can address the issue about the focus on prevention and investing in patient-centered medical homes … Well, I think question has to do with improving payments to primary care and access to primary care.
Tsang: I think there's an acknowledgment, at least nationally, from folks that primary care doctors need their payments and the reimbursement system needs to be realigned and redesigned. That's why at least with Medicaid, the payments of primary care doctors are being increased through Medicare values.
Anderson: There's a huge shortage of primary care physicians in Hawaii that we need to address and I'm sure in our next panel we'll talk to some of those issues. But the really difficult part is getting physicians interested in working in many of the rural areas in Hawaii. This is from our perspective and we do need to find ways to compensate them.
Pressler: I think our second panel can address some of these questions. We each have one minute a piece to make closing comments if you wish before we pass this on to the next panel.
Anderson: I think maintaining our critical safety net service is extremely important, given the isolation of Hawaii and the challenges we have with the economy. We have to find ways to make the system work more efficiently. Now we see there are some opportunities there, but this is something we hope we can work with all of you on and I'm certainly welcome to any suggestions or comments you might have.
Andrews: After being in healthcare now for almost 30 years, it's no wonder we're so confusing as an industry — look at the complexity of our system. I'm looking forward to with the advancements of IT and as Dr. Tsang said with innovation that we are going to achieve greater efficiency. We'll see better utilization of the dollars in the healthcare delivery system but we're going to need the ideas and the forward-thinking types of environments that you all practice to come on board and help us out. Certainly within the connector, the philosophy that we have is we want to create opportunities to grow knowledge around health and around IT here in our own state.
Tsang: Hawaii could really serve as a model of excellence for the rest of the country. It is in some ways the gateway for Asia and as we look at all this new therapy in terms of genomics, bioengineering, and large molecular therapy in the pharmaceutical industry, I think there needs to be a consideration for the Asian-American/Pacific Islander native of Hawaii and segment of any clinical trial. So, I think there could be a whole new industry here in Hawaii in terms of biogenomics.
Giesting: I would like to remind everyone that the healthcare sector is very big, diverse, broad with lots of vested interests that might like to keep it the way it is, and while it is already taking up 17 percent of the GDP, it is slated to go higher and larger, much faster than inflation. We have just got to change it. Despite that it's a very daunting job, I am really optimistic and that's because there is an overwhelming number of people right here in this room and in our state who are allies in making sure that we can change the system for the better.
Pressler: Thank you. I'd like to thank our panelists for their participation and for those who had questions that were answered, glad to hear them and I'm going to pass on the ones I have written here to Josh because I think some of them pertained to the second panel so let's hear it for our panel. Thank you.
Jay Fidell (ThinkTech Hawaii): How about a warm welcome for the moderator of our second panel, Senator Josh Green.
Senator Josh Green (Chair, Senate Health Committee): Aloha, everyone! I'm going to layout a few facts, large concepts, and then we're going to dive right into our panelists.
So, does the healthcare system work in America? Well, it works for a lot of people. Let's be candid about that. It does work for a lot of people. But we're also talking about for whom it doesn't work. It doesn't work for the working poor very well. It doesn't work for children that live below the poverty line. That's two large groups. And it doesn't work for a solid part of the middle class that has really serious health problems that are extremely costly and pushes them over the edge, so keep that in mind.
Another thing to keep in mind also because the group here is very focused on economics as well as the humanitarian issue is that in 2001, America spent $1.3 trillion on healthcare. In 2011, we spent twice that — $2.6 trillion — on healthcare. What does that tell you? It tells you that there is incredible expansion. It tells you there's an incredible opportunity to get involved in solutions. It tells you that number could continue to grow and therefore, people should be very attentive from a business model standpoint, of helping to be a part of the solution because it's a good place to have a career. In Hawaii, we're 750 doctors short right now, a very large number.
Hawaii has about 3,000 practicing physicians. I'm one of them and I'm sitting in the Senate — so we have a very serious shortage. By 2020, we will be 1,500 physicians short, and that is a very big problem. I want you to keep that in mind when we talk about the scope of what the healthcare system will look like and what kind of solutions my panel might be recommending to deal with that. I would also toss out another number.
In 2020, 43 percent of the physicians in this state will be 65 years or older. That's a very big problem when you think about the grind that goes on in healthcare and the taxing nature of delivering healthcare in a challenging system. When those people retire, the problem could get much larger. And I would tell you this, if we can't deliver healthcare to people – primary healthcare – all the mandates in the world are not going to be worth anything.
So from my perspective, our solutions have to be focused at least on that provider base. What I would recommend is that we're going to need a primary care renaissance. We're going to need to drive the next generation of healthcare providers. I don't just mean doctors. I mean nurse practitioners and all the rest toward primary care and I hope that some people will be able to address that today.
When we talk about giant expenditures in our country for anything, one thing that's important to people is that they get their money's worth when they spend it. I'm not particularly concerned — and this may sound a little leftwing or crazy — but I'm not particularly concerned about spending trillions of dollars in healthcare.
I'm concerned about spending it badly, or not spending it on what people actually need. Two percent of the population consumes 65 percent of our healthcare resources. That's one study. It is certainly bad. But is it that bad? We could debate that for hours, but in no other business is that tolerated and in no other system will that be sustainable. So, that has to be addressed as well, but I'm willing to see large percentages of our domestic – our GDP and so on spent, because if people value the service, if it makes a difference in their life, if it creates good jobs and professions, then frankly, I think it's good from a moral standpoint to get those people to healthcare.
If you told me today that my 4-year-old had leukemia, what percent of the dollars that I earn from my three jobs would I spend on that leukemia? If I could get her well, if I had a good oncologist, I might spend all of it. Think about that. Think about what healthcare means to people and what its actual value is, and then think about how we get that healthcare to the people who need it. On our panel today we have Jerris Hedges, Dean of the John Burns School of Medicine at UH; we have Hilton Raethel, a senior vice-president at HMSA; we have Dr. Nadine Tenn Salle, a practicing physician and President of the board of the Hawaii Independent Physicians Association; and we have Art Ushijima, the CEO of Queen's Hospital.

Nate Wilde rebuilt his life after his wife Angela left him to pursue a career. Ten years have gone by and Angela has come back to town to care for her 10-year-old nephew while his parents are on vacation. Now she and Nate must choose between reconciliation and reopening old wounds, or a divorce that will separate them forever. Details about competitive mountain biking add an interesting aside to Joan Kilby's Homecoming Wife (3), but many of the conflicts between the leads showcase their immaturity, and while the hero seems to have grown, the heroine has not.

DeadInside: Actually... it was a good day[:
DorkyLee: Oh well that's good to hear! :D
DeadInside: How was your day?
DorkyLee: It was okay, I guess. My dad's having this party thing for family and friends. He said I can invite anyone. So... I thought maybe I should invite you?
I bit my lip. What should I say? I looked at the comment. DeadInside: Well, maybe another time.
The next day, I was at school and I had detention again. But in science, my teacher announced that there will be a field trip next week. We'll be going to six flags. Again? I asked myself. ugh, we went last year. They should have something more interesting. Though the other people were excited.
"So, I will be grouping you with a partner. I'm deciding to do a different way this year. All of you shoukd know each other and you don't. You've been in school for 4 years already and with the same people. Some of you act like you just transfered into another school. I'm going to partner you up with someone you might not wanna be with but you have to." she took out a sheet and read the names. I was waiting for her to call my name and she did; "...and Cassie and Liam."
I looked up. No freaking way. I have to be with Liam for a whole day? Alone? Liam looked at me and then turned his head away. His buddy that was sitting next to him punched him in the arm and smirked. Liam rolled his eyes and I heard him say loud enough so everyone else can hear, "Ugh I can't believe I'm stuck with an ugly dork."
My heart just fell into my stomach. The teacher wasn't here because she's talking to another teacher outside the hall. Everyone laughed. Yeah, everyone!
"Excuse me?" I said.
Liam turned his head, "Ew, what's your name again? Casper?" Then people laughed again.
I rolled my eyes. Yeah he makes everyone laugh at me. Then he said, "Why do you always wear the same clothes? You got no money or somthing? My father's a millionare and I'm sure he'll give me a couple of bucks to give to the shelter you live at. But..." he smirked, "I only help pretty people. So since you're ugly and a loner, I don't really give a fuck about you."
I gritted my teeth and grabbed my bag. I got up and went up to him, "Screw you." I walked away and then I heard Liam's friend holler and laugh. The teacher would have noticed if she wasn't in such a deep consversation. I didn't cry this time. I was too pisses. I decided to go home. Yeah, you can do that in this school. Seriously, if you ever feel like leaving, just leave. I walked out the school and then I looked for my car. It wasn't in its usual car spot. I looked around again and found it.
I walked up to it and it was different. The dent in the back wasn't there anymore, neither was the paint. The rims were changed and the truck was shiney. My mouth opened wide. He fixed my car? But when? How? What the hell? Wow... it looks new. I smiled and I almost forgot about what Liam said but I didn't. I was still upset but then confused.
Why does he act up like that? I shook my head and headed home.

Aisa Kabhi hua nahi jo bhi hua khoob huwa
Lyrics & Chords
Film Yeh Wada Raha
Aisa kabhi hua nahi jo bhi hua khoob hua
dekhate hi tujhe hosh gum hue hosh aaya to dil mera dil na raha
aisa kabhi hua nahi jo bhi hua khoob hua
reshami zulfein hain saavan ki ghataaon jaisi
palkein hain teri ghane ped ki chhaanv jaisi
bholapan aur hansi aafreen aafreen
aisa kabhi hua nahi ….
jheel si aankhon mein masti ke jaam leharaaye
jab honth khule tere sargam baje, mehke fizaaye
har ada dil nasheen aafreen aafreen
aisa kabhi hua nahi ….
patli si gardan mein ek baal hai suraahi jaisa
andaaz matakne ka dekha na kisi ne aisa
gulbadan naazaneen aafreen aafreen
aisa kabhi hua nahi ….

Courier Prime
Fixed-width fonts are a major point of contention between nerds. While I use Consolas in my text editor and terminal, not everyone likes it.
Well, there's one more typeface entering the fray — Courier Prime. The new (free!) font comes from the guys over at Quote-Unquote apps, a firm all about screenplay software. In fact, Courier Prime is designed for use in screenplays. It adds all sorts of new features. Go check it out. I think it might just end up a good alternative for you kids using other fonts That Shall Not Be Named.← Featured Sponsor: Poster — a WordPress Blog Editor for iOS The Apogee Handmade Folded iPhone Carry →

Doves burnt alive, Seoul 1988
White doves fly past the Olympic flag during the Opening Ceremony in Seoul in 1988.
The release of white doves after the lighting of the Olympic flame was a tradition which lasted until 1988, when it all went horribly wrong in Seoul.
The doves, which were used as a symbol of peace, were inexplicably released before the flame had been lit and some then settled in the cauldron.
They were still there when the Korean trio of Chung Sun-Man, Sohn Mi-Chung and Kim Won-Tak held aloft their burning torches and ignited the flame.
While some doves scattered frantically, a few were not as fortunate and were burnt alive as the world looked on in horror.
Animal rights groups were outraged and the birds are no longer released at the opening ceremony, for obvious reasons.

Thanks for the analysis. I use rv2 dataset to analysis the impact of the power outage, and the result shows that outage was way more high than your chart above. I guess maybe it's because rv2 has only some limited view.
Lights Out in Rio
When the power goes out to a large part of Brazil, as happened last night shortly after 10pm, it's going to have an impact on telecommunications.
When power drops, there's an immediate shock to the Internet routing system. You can see it clearly in this plot, which shows the number of South American networks affected by serious instability or unreachability in the previous 15-minute window.
By compiling the routing traffic we collected from all over the world during this period of time, it's possible to pinpoint the time of the failure in the Brazilian electric grid (10:26pm, or 00:26 UTC). From an essentially negligible background level, the number of affected networks vaults to more than 150 within seconds. Following the classic pattern of widespread power failures, the number of freshly affected networks drops over time as backup power kicks in, and then there are 'echoes' of new failures as the backup power suffers its own problems.
These are some screenshots from our KML-based regional outage visualizer, and our Internet Health Portal tool. As you can see, Brazil took the largest hit, but we also saw Paraguayan and Uruguayan networks out as a result of the largest regional power outage to hit Brazil and its neighbors in several years.
Inevitably, speculation will fly fast and furious about the cause. Media reports this week suggested that hackers may have taken down the Brazilian grid in 2005 and 2007. Brazil says it simply wasn't so. Was tonight a sardonic repeat performance, in response to Sunday's 60 Minutes coverage?

The Dark Knight Must Read Apartment Therapy
I watched the last two Batman flicks last week to gear up for The Dark Knight Rises, director Christopher Nolan's trilogy grand finale. As I was watching I just couldn't help but notice how much of DIY'er Batman (er, Bruce Wayne) is. He must be reading Apartment Therapy!
As the ultimate DIYer, how could the caped crusader not read Apartment Therapy? Turns out, if you look closer, you'll see he really does.
• He paints his bat suit black using our "Spray Paint like a Pro" tips.
• He hacks his cowl together from separate sources. I bet he's using Sugru to merge the pieces together.
•He carves out bat ninja stars (like a boss) — undoubtedly inspired by the hackers and craftsmen we've featured.
•He decks his bat cave out with a crazy flat panel array in hopes of getting featured on a future Tech Tour. If you look closely I think he even uses that DIY-friendly metal connector pipe.
•He has a cool secret room (ok, it's really the batcave) that he enters by playing a few notes on his antique piano — not too different from this, now is it Mr. Wayne?
•And this just in, looks like our editors just got a House Tour submission from The Dark Knight himself. Just as we suspected, he went with the dramatic modern look for his pad. Guess we're going to have to set up an official tour and see what else he's hiding.

Very, very cute.
Are you guys serious?
VERY serious. I had long suspected the Dark Knight was a reader.
I knew it...
Aaaaaaaa! My Eyes! Aaaaaaaaaaaah! Batman.....smiling.....! Nooooooooo!
and he's overdone the 'put a bat on it' craze. Guess he also hasn't seen todays NYT article on tossing out old pianos. Holy Krylon!!!
Ha ha. Niiiice.

The worst recorded outbreak of the virulent Ebola virus has killed more than 700 people in West Africa, including more than 60 health care workers, and is believed to have infected 1,300 more people since it began in March.
So far, the outbreak has been confined to Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control has issued a Level 3 travel warning advising people to avoid nonessential travel to those countries.
Dr. Dino Rumoro, head of the Rush Department of Emergency Medicine, sees little danger to the U.S. from Ebola. He explained why in the following interview.
Q: Are you worried about it Ebola coming here?
Rumoro: There are a lot of diseases that cause us a lot of concern. In the '80s, when we saw the emergence of HIV and AIDS, that made us very nervous as well, and we learned how to deal with it. Our experience dealing with other infectious diseases makes us prepared for this disease. This is a disease that we know about in the scientific community, but it's not native to the United States.
Q: How is Ebola spread?
Rumoro: The key thing to remember with Ebola is that it's not an airborne virus, so we're not worried about it being transmitted through the air. We're worried about contact with bodily fluids like blood, vomit and diarrhea. If those fluids enter another person's eyes, nose, or mouth, an infection could occur.
Q: Who's at risk for Ebola?
Rumoro: Anyone who comes in direct contact with body fluids of an infected person is at risk. Health care workers are at higher risk, just because they're getting in close contact with body fluids. A close family member who may be caring for a patient is at even higher risk than a health care worker, because they don't have the personal protection we use. Family members, if they're cleaning up the diarrhea or the blood, they think, 'it's part of my job,' and may ignore the need to protect themselves.
While Ebola is a highly dangerous and infectious disease, we can control it by using blood and body fluid precautions. We want to protect ourselves from any types of secretion. All we really need to do it is wear a face mask with an eye shield, wear gloves, gowns, and boot covers, and we need to wash our hands frequently.
There's reason to exercise caution, but with the proper equipment, if you follow the rules you'll be safe. The problem they have in the third world countries is they don't have the personal protective equipment we have.
Q: Could someone from Africa bring the virus to the U.S.?
Rumoro: Because of global travel, someone could come here and not have symptoms, and two weeks later they could develop symptoms. Because we're an international community, we have to be aware of it, but it's not something that should cause panic.
Q: Why not?
Rumoro: With a disease like Ebola, there's less concern here because of the type of equipment we have and because we have advance notice that it's out there. Public health is tracking who's coming here.
If we saw a case pop up in the United States, it would be similar to how we were made aware of the MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) case that was identified in Indiana, and we were able to control that. We have a very good public health infrastructure. They were able to identify that, isolate it, treat it, I think the same thing would happen.
Q: Ebola is fatal between 60 and 90 percent of the time. What can be done to treat it?
Rumoro: The standard of care is support. Meaning, you're going to treat the symptoms. One of the end stages is cardiovascular collapse. The blood pressure drops, the patient starts going into cardiac arrest.
Ultimately though, the source of that collapse is the virus, there is no treatment for the virus. So it would be supportive care at this point. We would try to ease the discomfort, try to keep the blood pressure maintained. It appears that the people who die of Ebola virus don't mount the same immunologic response as the ones who live through it. If you get them through some of those rough points, maybe you give them enough time for a reactive response and they can fight the virus off.

Teacher, lawyer, author, veterinarian, preacher, astronaut, foreign correspondent for an international news agency.
These – and more - were on the list of what I wanted to "be" when I grew up. With the exception of being a veterinarian or astronaut, I'd like to think my role with The Lausanne Movement allows me to be a bit of all of the above – whether it's helping "teach" people about Lausanne or reporting on international events taking place within the Movement.
What was on your childhood list of occupations - doctor, banker, scientist, police officer, architect? As an adult, how close did you come to an occupation on that list?
Regardless of what you now do as a job, why you do it is even more important. Is the security of an income the motivator, or is it living the call God has placed on your life?
As we continue to unpack The Cape Town Commitment, this month we're focusing on Section II, A 3, Truth and the Workplace.
This section of the Commitment addresses the so-called "sacred-secular divide" which has caused some Christians to segment their lives into "secular work" and "spiritual living". The Commitment encourages Christians to instead, "accept and affirm their own daily ministry and mission as being wherever God has called them to work." It goes on to "challenge pastors and church leaders to support people in such ministry – in the community and in the workplace – 'to equip the saints for works of service [ministry]' - in every part of their lives."
Some use the term "full-time Christian ministry" to mean the work of pastors, missionaries or people who work in a Christian organization. Yet the Business as Mission (BAM) movement is challenging the use of that phrase by contending that all Christians – whether they preach, sweep the floor of the local market, or serve as an airline flight attendant – are in "full-time Christian ministry".
"Christians in many skills, trades, businesses and professions, can often go to places where traditional church planters and evangelists may not . . . We urge church leaders to understand the strategic impact of ministry in the workplace and to mobilize, equip and send out their church members as missionaries into the workplace, both in their own local communities and in countries that are closed to traditional forms of gospel witness." (Section II, A 3, Cape Town Commitment)
In the anchor article of our focus on this issue, Mats Tunehag, Lausanne Senior Associate for Business as Mission, emphasizes that BAM is not a new discovery in the body of Christ but is rather a "rediscovery of Biblical truths and practices". BAM, he says, includes three mandates:
Mats goes on to ask a few probing questions:

I mainly want to create this to tell others my story and to help others get on track to a HEALTHY lifestyle. I am recovering from a long battle with an eating disorder. I have started a new path in life to become a happy, confident, and healthy me.
I have never been secure with myself and never happy with the way I looked. After being hospitalized I discovered that this wasn't going to be easy, and I knew it wasn't something I could overcome easily. It's hard. I have to work at it each and every day. Some days are harder than others, but I have the support of family and friends and hopefully you guys to get me through it. I want to be a motivation for others to be healthy and realize how beautiful they are inside and out.
I have never been overweight, but I was always kind of chunky and never really confident with myself. I took dance growing up, and got involved with cheerleading in high school (so I stayed rather active). I have just recently lost 25 pounds and I feel great! The best and most exciting part, even better than losing the weight is, I did it in a healthy way! I am so proud of myself and I honestly proved to myself something that I thought was unachievable.
I am at a healthy weight of 125lbs. and I am 5'5". This is something I thought I could never do or want to do. It is possible and if you have any will power what so ever you can do it too. Please ask questions if you have any. I will try to get the hang of this and get more details out about the tools and knowledge I have learned that have helped me achieve my goals!
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Have a bad habit of running late for work and turning to fast food for lunch?? I know I am always on the run and usually lunch is the one meal I have a hard time adjusting for. This is why I try to pack my lunch!
You can really benefit from packing your lunch:
Start by making a week long list of different lunches you may like throughout the week. I generally make sure I stock up on lunch meat, bread, wraps, fruit, snack bars, yogart,sugar free jello, jam, and peanut butter. These are all simple and easy ingredients to make a variety of different lunches. Also CHEAP-hense I am a full time college student!
Sample Lunch:
1 Cup Strawberries
Turkey Wrap loaded with veggies (stay away from cheese if you can)
If you want a dressing-use something low fat or replace with avacado!
Stay within 300 calories and mix it up weekly. Trying new things will help boost your metabolism and you will end up burning more calories! :)
*If you tend to be in a hurry a lot (like me) prepare and pack the night before. I treated myself to a lunchbox monogramed with my initials. It really motivated me to pack my lunch each day (and I look cute doing so)!*

Offshore Sarasota
Headed out today with snapper and grouper in mind, as Aaron from orlando wanted to have a day on the water and some fresh fillets. Left the inlet around 7am to a proven snapper spot of mine. Well we ended up with 30 Mangrove, 7 trigger fish, 10 porgy, 6 lane snapper, 3 Aj's and one lucky Scamp grouper that went home with me :) .After our limit of snapper was reached we picked up and headed over to a nice ledge that I found a few years ago that always produces to see what the red grouper were up to ……. well they were coming over the gunnel as fast as we could get our bait down. Ended up with 12 red grouper up to 15lbs and let go atleast 30 or more shorts. All in all a great day on the water, ended up with 65lbs of cleaned fillets, lots of gag grouper were caught and released today as well. Here are a few pictures from today.
Every thing but the grouper were caught on live shrimp, red grouper were caught on bonita strips and frozen sardines.
hope you enjoy

pros and cons of the two ?
i think the comparison should be like "how much more does wOpenBSD lacks
compared to PAX ?"
he might try to mean whatever but there is one thing obvious which is best
known as "rip-off"
i think you should read this instead:
- noir
w as in http://stargliders.org/phrack/mmhs.jpg
I have made it clear many times that W^X inside OpenBSD came into
being without me even being aware of PAX.
I may have stumbled past HAL2001 on my way from IETF in London to
Usenix Security in DC, but I never went to any of the talks there, and
I do not recall ever talking to anyone about anything in any way like
W^X. I spent most of the time talking with European OpenBSD
developers and Solar Designer, and do not recall any topics about
protecting the address space ever coming up. Almost a year later, we
started working on W^X. We started on non-i386 machines like the
sparc and alpha because at the time we could not think of a way of
doing i386 W^X.
If we had been aware of PAX as you claim, why would we have thought
that i386 solutions were impossible?
There is only one thing I have found the various PAX people to have in
common; they are very persistant at calling other people liars. Can
you people please grow up?

When I get there
I see no sign

Was that a sign?
Then a bird begins to sing

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I don't think the Alliance Paladins have much to worry about. They're part of the Order of the Silver Hand, which had merged with the Argent Dawn to become the Argent Crusade. If the Paladins got any sort of problems out of this, it would probably be due to people losing faith in the Light with such a prominent figure becoming evil.
But the Priests being untrusted can definitely happen, seeing as how the Alliance's Priest "leader" was still Benedictus. Priests never really get a whole lot of lore, so this may create some nice tension.
I'd say Alliance priests turn to the greatest priest alive atm.
Prophet Velen the Divine.
Really, who needs a silly strangely tall Bishop who only sends people to Razorfen when you have an awesome Priest who kicks some demon's behind around with his floating Naaru buddies.
Actually I hope this creates an oppertunity(sp) for the Draenei to bond a bit more with Varian and have at least some story in the whole expansion.
it feels so unfair, other races get awesome new classes, towns and starting zones but the Draenei get nothing at all!
I say the Worgen village in the Blasted Lands should have been Draenei instead.

The Adams County Council spent two and a half days last week working on the 2012 budget and reduced departmental budgets by more than $323,000. Council members will meet on October 11 to formally approve a budget that totals more than $11.6 million Among cuts next year are per diem payments made to the three county commissioners when they act in their capacity as members of the county drainage board. The council indicated that when the 2013 budget is prepared in 2012, all per diem payments will be eliminated except those required by state law.
Dylan Malone has been named sports editor of the Decatur Daily Democrat, Publisher Ron Storey announced.
Malone replaces Jim Hopkins, who retired after a recent heart attack. Malone has been covering South Adams football for the newspaper and was recommended by Hopkins for the post.
The Adams County Solid Waste District's board of trustees on Monday approved a change in financial trustees for the district's transfer station and landfill trust accounts. The process, prompted by the expiration of the two long-standing trust agreements with First Merchants Bank, ultimately will cost the district a significant amount of interest income annually.

Chris Rainsford speaks to Andy Ward
Looking at the results from three of the best domestic 10k races towards the back end of 2013 and one name sits impressively among the leading athletes at each one.
Consistently inside and around the thirty minute mark, the fact that name also has a V40 next to it and the times have come after a twelve year break away from the sport is perhaps even more remarkable.
But Andy Ward continues to prove that age is no barrier to running success.
The forty-four year old, who lives in Bolsover, Derbyshire, went inside thirty minutes and ran a personal best of 29:57 at the Leeds Abbey Dash in November before equalling that time just four weeks later in Telford.
Even though he ended the year five seconds outside his PB at the Ribble Valley 10k, Ward is enjoying the most fruitful days of his running career and puts the breakthrough down to the expertise of long-time friend and former GB international long distance runner Dave Tune.
"The big difference has come since linking up with Dave Tune. I used to run with and against Dave in the '90′s (and I have to say he always used to beat me)! I started working with Dave in 2012. I was desperate to see if I could get under 30 minutes for 10k and, working together, we have now done that a few times."
A former international athlete, Dave Tune now runs a physiotherapy clinic in Doncaster with his partner and fellow international runner Jenny Blizard.
Training philosophy
Andy's confidence in the lactate threshold training and scientific approach they have adopted has led to him running faster now than ever before but the results have still come as a bit of a surprise to Ward, if not to Tune.
"The clinic runs the testing service and they have been hugely successful in their results. Dave is a big believer in lactate threshold training and training of heart rate zones to ensure you don't over- or under-train. He was more confident than I ever was the first time I went inside thirty minutes as he could tell from the tests that I was in shape to do it – the statistics just don't lie!"
The statistics haven't lied and Ward finished 2013 ranked 27th overall in the UK over 10k, number one V40 and number four on the UK all-time list in his age category.
The twelve years away from competitive action don't appear to have done him any harm either.
Running background
After running his first race at the age of ten and winning a couple of county medals as a teenager, like a good proportion of club athletes, Andy continued to chip away at his personal bests without running anything too extraordinary.
At twenty two, he started to take advantage of the then thriving local Peak District fell running scene, believing the regular competition did him the power of good, and lowered his 10k best to 30:20 – a mark that would remain next to his name for the next nineteen years.
"At the age of twenty five, we started our family and so running took a back seat. I gave up work, became a house husband and brought up my two daughters. I just used running to keep fit and raced only very occasionally."
So what gave him the urge to get back into running?
"I felt I'd got the time and energy to get back into proper training and still felt I could be competitive. During 2009 and 2010 I got my 10k time down to about 31 minutes, which I was really pleased with, and just kept things going, sticking to a distance that I knew I could cope with."
Since his racing comeback in 2008, Andy has been gradually chipping away once more but admits to finding it tricky at times to balance training around married life, being a father to two daughters and his job as a gardener.
Working alongside Tune, however, and Andy notes that, whilst the volume has remained the same, the majority of his training is now done at a quicker pace and specific speed sessions are a less frequent part of the programme.
"The majority of my training is done at my lactate threshold; my training was generally too slow and very inconsistent before. We don't tend to do much speed work – speed sessions and tempo runs are done about once a fortnight – and in terms of volume it has stayed very similar. But the speed at which I do each run at night is now very different."
Looking ahead
With the best year of his running career now behind him, Andy is looking ahead to continued consistency as he attempts to further establish himself in the upper-echelons of the sport, especially among the veteran standings.
The Alsager 5 and English National Cross Country at Wollaton Park are on the February horizon and the idea is to use the summer to work on his speed, with track races over 3k, 5k and 10k planned.
Further revisions of his 10k road best are in the pipeline, as is a shot at the half marathon and some V45 records when he turns forty five later this year.
But, whilst targeting improvement, Andy isn't getting too far ahead of himself and is very much enjoying the moment.
"My running means more to me now than at any other time. I love it. But I'm aware that time stands still for no one so looking too much further ahead than that seems to make little sense."

Il nuovo modello di sintesi neoclassica e il meccanismo di trasmissione della politica monetaria
AbstractThe new neoclassical synthesis combines ideas of Keynesian and classical economics. It involves the application of intertemporal optimization and rational expectations. These are applied to the analysis of pricing and output decisions in a Keynesian context as well to the consumption, investment and labor supply decisions proper of real business cycle models. Moreover the model supposes an endogenous monetary rule linking nominal rate of interest to inflation and output targets. In this paper we survey this new macroeconomic model and evaluate how money affect output and employment once that the instrument of monetary policy is the interest rate instead of quantity of money. Then we explain why the new synthesis cannot account for the persistent effect of monetary policy and the business cycle asymmetry
