27 gift ideas for the health nut (or wannabe health nut)
For the Zen girl with a lot of stuff
Zobha Essential Mat Carrier, $56, zobha.com
This yoga bag is called "essential" for a reason: It has pockets. Its pockets have pockets. Practically our entire Bikram class wanted to know where we got it.
For the athlete who deserves another medal
Erica Sara Race Bling Collection, $50-$118, ericasaradesigns.com
This entire jewelry collection was created to pump up runners and triathletes. Designer Erica Sara can custom-engrave your recipient's name and finishing time—or if there's a big race she's training for, gift this to tell her you're cheering her on, and Erica will engrave her time after she succeeds. Neat!
For the city girl
2013 Schwinn Signature Cutter, $440, schwinnbikes.com
If she's talked about how she's determined to turn into a bike commuter, Schwinn's Cutter has just what she needs—like a sturdy-but-light frame and the ability to flip from fixed to single-speed—and you can snag it without the intimidation of walking into a hard-core bike shop. Oh, and the mint color is gorgeous.
For the techy fitnessista
Cateye Fit, $80, amazon.com
We love this little gadget for two reasons: It's a cyclo-computer she can snap onto her bike to track her epic distances, time and calories, but once she hops off, it'll also track the same stats for her paces. (No lame hip attachment either.)
For the rain-or-shine runner
Mizuno Cabrakan Jacket, $75, mizunousa.com
If her dedication to getting in a run knows no bounds—hey, that marathon won't finish itself—she can throw on this lightweight rain shell. When the downpour lets up, the jacket packs into itself and has an elastic strap, so she can slide it onto her arm and keep going. We like it so much, we've even started carrying one in our everyday bag in case of emergency showers.
For the yoga gal who has everything
Dormtiques Custom Yoga Mat, $40, mycustomyogamat.com
Consider a custom option for your Zen friend: a monogrammed yoga mat that matches her personality. Make the gift extra special by getting her a pack of classes to her favorite studio, or to a new one she's been dying to try.
For the jet-setting yogini
Electric Yoga Anti-Slip Yoga Pants, $98, electric-yoga.com
No yoga mat? No problem. The foot section of these pants is grippy like a mat, so it's like having one built in. Kind of perfect for a traveling gal who can't pack a yoga studio in a suitcase but who can't bear to skip a class either.
For the fab snowboarder
Torah Bright 10K Shell Birch Pants, $180, roxy.com
To say we love everything in Olympic snowboarder Torah Bright's collection for Roxy is an understatement, but these pants are our favorite piece. The slim cut is great for her ride. And the style? Well, just look.
For the treadmill die-hard
Avia Mantis Sneakers, $80, avia.com
The '80s brand Avia has relaunched, and its stuff looks and feels damn good. That's why Mantis sneakers are on our list: somehow a brilliant balance between lightweight and supportive, and also completely adorable. They carried an Ironman competitor across the finish line, so they'll definitely work well on her treadmill.
For the cold-weather outdoorswoman
Nobis Charlie Fargo Cap, $70, nobis.ca
Whether she's into snowy hikes or other frigid excursions, the faux-fur Charlie cap is what's going to keep her warm and dry. It's made in Canada, so you better believe it's been tested in the elements.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Youth is the time of life when one is young, but often means the time between childhood and adulthood (maturity).[1][2] Definitions of the specific age range that constitutes youth vary. An individual's actual maturity may not correspond to their chronological age, as immature individuals can exist at all ages. Youth is also defined as "the appearance, freshness, vigor, spirit, etc., characteristic of one who is young".[3]
Around the world, the English terms youth, adolescent, teenager, kid, and young person are interchanged, often meaning the same thing, but they are occasionally differentiated. Youth can refer to the entire time of life when one is young, including childhood, but often refers specifically to the time of life that is neither childhood nor adulthood but rather somewhere in between.[4] Youth also identifies a particular mindset of attitude, as in "He is very youthful". The term also refers to individuals between the ages of 16 and 24.[5]
Although linked to biological processes of development and aging, youth is also defined as a social position that reflects the meanings different cultures and societies give to individuals between childhood and adulthood. Scholars argue that age-based definitions have not been consistent across cultures or times and that thus it is more accurate to focus on social processes in the transition to adult independence for defining youth.[6]
Youth is an alternative word for the scientifically-oriented adolescent and the common terms teen and teenager. Other common terms for youth are young person and young people.[8]
Youth is the stage of constructing the self-concept. The self-concept of youth is influenced by several variables such as peers, lifestyle, gender, and culture.[9] It is the time of a person's life in which they make choices which will affect their future.[10]
August 12th was declared International Youth Day by the United Nations.
Research shows that poverty and income affect the likelihood for the incompletion of high school. These factors also increase the likelihood for the youth to not go to a college or university.[11]
A 2004 study of youth (ages 10-24) mortality worldwide found that 97% of deaths occurred in low to middle-income countries, with the majority in southeast Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. Maternal conditions accounted for 15% of female deaths, while HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis were responsible for 11% of deaths; 14% of male and 5% of female deaths were attributed to traffic accidents, the largest cause overall. Violence accounted for 12% of male deaths. Suicide was the cause of 6% of all deaths.[12]
The leading causes of morbidity and mortality among youth and adults are due to certain health-risk behaviors. These behaviors are often established during youth and extend into adulthood. Since the risk behaviors in adulthood and youth are interrelated, problems in adulthood are preventable by influencing youth behavior.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention developed its Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS) in 2003 to help assess risk behavior.[13] YRBSS monitors six categories of priority health-risk behaviors among youth and young adults:
YRBSS includes a national school-based survey conducted by CDC as well as state and local school-based surveys conducted by education and health agencies.[14]
Obesity now affects one in five children in the United States, and is the most prevalent nutritional disease of children and adolescents in the United States. Although obesity-associated morbidities occur more frequently in adults, significant consequences of obesity as well as the antecedents of adult disease occur in obese children and adolescents.
Discrimination against overweight children begins early in childhood and becomes progressively institutionalized. Because obese children tend to be taller than their non-overweight peers, they are apt to be viewed as more mature. The inappropriate expectations that result may have an adverse effect on their socialization.
Many of the cardiovascular consequences that characterize adult-onset obesity are preceded by abnormalities that begin in childhood. Hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and abnormal glucose tolerance occur with increased frequency in obese children and adolescents. The relationship of cardiovascular risk factors to visceral fat independent of total body fat remains unclear. Sleep apnea, pseudotumor cerebri, and Blount's disease represent major sources of morbidity for which rapid and sustained weight reduction is essential. Although several periods of increased risk appear in childhood, it is not clear whether obesity with onset early in childhood carries a greater risk of adult morbidity and mortality.[15]
Bullying among school-aged youth is increasingly being recognized as an important problem affecting well-being and social functioning. While a certain amount of conflict and harassment is typical of youth peer relations, bullying presents a potentially more serious threat to healthy youth development. The definition of bullying is widely agreed on in literature on bullying.[16][17][18][19]
Bullying is a specific type of aggression with the following three characters:
The majority of research on bullying has been conducted in Europe and Australia. Considerable variability among countries in the prevalence of bullying has been reported. In an international survey of adolescent health-related behaviors, the percentage of students who reported being bullied at least once during the current term ranged from a low of 15% to 20% in some countries to a high of 70% in others.[20][21] Of particular concern is frequent bullying, typically defined as bullying that occurs once a week or more. The prevalence of frequent bullying reported internationally ranges from a low of 1.9% among 1 Irish sample to a high of 19% in a Malta study.[22][23][24][25][26][27]
Bullying takes many forms, and findings about the types of bullying that occur are fairly similar across countries. A British study involving 23 schools found that direct verbal aggression was the most common form of bullying, occurring with similar frequency in both sexes.[28] Direct physical aggression was more common among boys, while indirect forms were more common among girls. Similarly, in a study of several middle schools in Rome, the most common types of bullying reported by boys were threats, physical harm, rejection, and name-calling.[29] The most common forms for girls were name-calling, teasing, rumors, rejection, and taking of personal belongings.
Research examining characteristics of youth involved in bullying has consistently found that both bullies and those bullied demonstrate poorer psychosocial functioning than their non-involved peers. Youth who bully others tend to demonstrate higher levels of conduct problems and dislike of school, whereas youth who are bullied generally show higher levels of insecurity, anxiety, depression, loneliness, unhappiness, physical and mental symptoms, and low self-esteem. Males who are bullied also tend to be physically weaker than males in general. The few studies that have examined the characteristics of youth who both bully and are bullied found that these individuals exhibit the poorest psychosocial functioning overall.[30][31][32][33]

The next round of talks were agreed to and confirmed earlier today by ESPN's Chris Mortenson as the clock continues to tick down toward the projected start of training camp at the end of the month.
The general feeling around the league is that the two sides will most likely have to come to an agreement by the middle of the month if they don't want to face the loss of games.
If anyone was even considering the possibility of instituting an 18 game season, that will be clearly out the window as the time winds down on negotiations.
Said Goodell to NFL.com today: "We are under court order, as far as what we can discuss. Obviously we're all working hard, the players and owners were here over the last few days, and De and I were here for the entire meetings also. And it's complicated and it's complex, but we're working hard. We understand the fans' frustration, but I think both of us feel strongly that we're going to continue to work hard on it."
Smith had this to say:
"Someone asked me if I was optimistic — I think we're both optimistic when we have the right people in the room. We know we're talking about the right issues, and we're working hard to get it done. It's extremely complicated. It requires a lot of hard work by a lot of people. But we're committed to getting something done. And we're gonna keep working at it."

I have some sympathy with your position but, as others have pointed out, frequently the people asking for specific achievements or gear levels do not match their own requirements. It's like when you see messages saying "LFG HoL lvl80 only" and find that it comes from a level 77 rogue.
I also have to wonder how the people who ask other people to link achievements got their own achievements in the first place, since apparently one is not qualified to run a raid until one has already run it. If they went in with their guild, why aren't they *still* doing guild runs, and if they went in in a PuG, then isn't it rather hypocritical to make demands of other people that were not made of them?

Tumblr adopted Tumbeasts, prompting a fun story!
We've joked in the past about how often Tumblr has served us up a big ol' slice of error page (we jest in love! and just because we miss y'all so much when we can't get to you!).
Matthew Inman, author/illustrator of webcomic The Oatmeal, did us one better: He created a new error page, featuring green mutant critters chomping on servers. We reblogged it, as did many Tumblrites. And in its infinite wisdom, Tumblr adopted the little monsters for its official error page. The "Tumbeasts" already have their own Tumblr and Twitter pages.
Perfect fodder for a story that Stacy named "Site crashed? No prob, here's a kitten." In that piece, I chat about how tech startups including Tumblr, Twitter and Pandora are using funny messages and cute mascots to be transparent about screw-ups.
Matt from The Oatmeal also weighed in, and he was hilarious — but I kept out all the words that would offend moms everywhere. Check it out! -Julianne
Update: Rebecca over at comparisons site This or That emailed me to let me know they're running a "Sharks vs. Jets-type battle of which 'site is down' mascot is better: Tumbeast or Twitter's Fail Whale." Vote here — Tumbeast is currently commanding 84% of the vote. And check out more tech battles here.

MERRILLVILLE | The Plan Commission displayed overwhelming support of a proposed memory care facility Whiteco Industries is pursuing.
The facility would be a single-story building that is about 32,000 square feet, Ken Antaramian, of KC Development, said during Tuesday's commission workshop. KC Development, which specializes in the construction and operations of assisted living and memory care facilities, is collaborating with Whiteco on the project, said John Howard, of Whiteco.
The "high-end" facility proposed for 7800 Rhode Island St. would have 48 to 50 rooms for residents diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia, Antaramian said.
"It is a need," Plan Commission member Brian Dering said. "It's a great need everywhere."
The plans call for an interior courtyard that would have a butterfly garden and other amenities for activities for residents.
Howard estimated the project could cost between $10 million to $15 million.
Chet Bradeen, of KC Development, said keeping residents "extremely involved and active" will be an emphasis at the facility.
Bradeen said providing an active lifestyle can help patients with dementia sleep during the night, which can be time when they are restless.
"I think it's a wonderful, wonderful fit for the town," Dering said.
In addition to filling a need for memory care facilities in the area, the project looks to create 40 permanent jobs, Bradeen said.
On multiple occasions, Dering asked Whiteco representatives to thank Whiteco CEO Dean White "for bringing something beautiful to the town."
Whiteco is seeking approval of a conceptual planned unit development request for the project.
Dering and several other commission members said they will be voting in favor of the project during the panel's Oct. 15 public meeting.

With the introduction of HomeKit and the Honeywell Lyric, a Nest acquisition by Apple would have been foolish
Google's $3.2 billion acquisition of Nest was interesting on a number of fronts. Not only did it result in a slew of ex-Apple employees finding themselves under the employ of Google, but it also prompted many to wonder, "Why didn't Apple buy Nest?" After all, on paper it appeared that an...

Yesterday was my last day in the office at niti.
One nice thing about Co-Op @ Waterloo is that it is a four month period. I'm not sure how things would have gone if it was much longer.
I think I've learnt a lot working at niti, albeit not what I was intending on learning, but that's often the most important stuff to learn.

AT Store is Open!
Dear Readers, after snoggling around for too long developing our store, we're done. Click on the link here and take a tour, keeping in mind that only a few of our shelves are filled right now. Just like AT, the store is an experiment and dedicated to supporting those who want their homes to be beautiful, organized and healthy. We're going to slowly add more things and hope that the best ideas will come from our readers. What's yours? firstname.lastname@example.com.

I'm a bit surprised that the AT book isn't for sale in the AT store.
who's is the model for the women's t-shirts?
she looks hot.
I wish there would be a calendar...maybe next year.
You took a long time and this is all you came up with???? Uh...and so you took a long time to come up with an experiment and you're hoping that other people will give you winning ideas??
Back to the drawing board, guys... this stuff is good for the Oxo waste bin you liked so much!!!
Ouch! We'll take that dressing down, but we're now out to prove you wrong. We've got lots of ideas for items and it is just a matter of getting them together. It's far easier to post to a blog than to sell from a store. We also want to field ideas from outside as well, because that is what this site is all about.
I think the shirts are pretty cute, but it would take a certain kind of man to wear that "Small is Cool" t-shirt with any sort of confidence.
Is the AT store temporarily closed?
I clicked on the link but can't get to it.
Alisa, liked your post about Small is Cool shirt. In this day and age of surgical augmentations, I think it would also take a confident woman to wear such a shirt.
Re: small is cool T-shirts was a logo we voted for on this blog a year or so ago. Yes, it is about apartment size, but as I recall most of the gals and guys got the humour of it.
I'd like it if the "Small is Cool" T-shirt came in extra-large.
I was just making a "small" joke, jimkk.

In a recent publication, Report on Economic Well-Being of U.S. Households in 2013, released in July of this year, the Federal Reserve notes that 52% of respondents to the survey upon which the report is based could not come up with $400 in an emergency without adding debt to a credit card, borrowing the money from family or friends, or selling something to raise the money. That means over half of Americans are broke. What else would you call it when someone cannot get their hands on $400 without borrowing it or selling something to get it?
We're not talking about that much money. Four hundred dollars is less that one percent of the median annual income (approximately $50,000) in the United States. Yet, over half the country has less than $400 in liquid savings, and are one paycheck from a personal financial crisis.
[adrotate banner="13"]
How to avoid being broke
It doesn't have to be this way. People don't have to be broke if they don't want to be. They can take control of their spending, reduce it, and accumulate savings. Here's how to do it:
- Seek meaning in the non-material aspects of life. A meaningful life full of love, joy, and happiness cannot be purchased with money and is not found in the material aspects of life, but is free for those who seek it. A meaningful life is found in giving rather than getting.
- Establish spending priorities. Review spending by going through the checkbook and credit card statements or keep a spending journal for two or more months. Determine what is most important and what is not. If accumulating savings is a goal, then saving should be important.
- Use a budget to plan spending. Plan spending around high priority items and fund them first. That includes saving. Set money aside for saving first. Reduce or cut out spending on low priority expenses until spending and saving balance with income.
- Establish an emergency fund. Direct all saving into an emergency fund to replace lost or reduced income in the event of a layoff, medical emergency, or reduction in hours. Once two months of living expenses have been accumulated in the emergency fund, begin to direct some savings to pay for unpredictable expenses such as automobile maintenance and repairs, home maintenance and repairs, appliance repair and replacement, and medical deductibles and co-pays. Continue to direct the bulk of savings into the emergency fund until at least six months of living expenses have been accumulated.
- Save in advance to pay for unpredictable expenses. Expenses such as automobile maintenance and repairs, home maintenance and repairs, appliance repair and replacement, and medical deductibles and co-pays are not emergencies and should not be paid for out of the emergency fund. They are unpredictable expenses: we know they will occur; we just don't know when. Save in advance for these expenses, a little each month, so the money will be there when it is needed. Review past expenses in these areas to get an idea of how much should be accumulated for this purpose.
- Get the maximum value out of the money you spend. Employ unit cost comparison when determining the best price for an item. Become conscious of the going price for frequently purchased items in order to recognize a sale price when it is offered. Buy enough of a sale item to last until the item goes on sale again. When a frequently purchased item goes on sale, consider buying it even if there isn't an immediate need for it and add it to the inventory for that item. Research prices for items purchased only once in a while to determine the best price. Always be shopping, not buying but shopping, to become familiar with the marketplace. Always make a plan before going to the store; have a list or know what is to be purchased and the approximate dollar amount that is to be spent. Stick to the plan.
- Avoid paying for convenience. Convenience is costly. Avoid convenience and save money. Eat at home and bag lunch for work. Avoid prepared, packaged food and meals. Take coffee brewed at home in a thermos. Avoid hiring work done around the house when possible: yard work, house work, laundry, ironing, simple maintenance, washing and waxing vehicles, and so forth.
- Buy used when practical and possible. Used items can be a great value and save a lot of money. Consider used clothing, vehicles, bicycles, toys, household furniture, office furniture, tools, appliances, cookware, VHS cassettes, CD's and DVD's, sports equipment, computers and peripherals, dishes and glasses, and so on.
- Don't compare. No two households have exactly the same financial makeup, and no one has perfect knowledge of someone else's financial situation, so it is a waste of time to compare finances. Don't do it. Personal finance is not a competition.
- Adjust standard of living based on accumulated savings not increased income. Maintain the current standard of living when there is an increase in income and save the difference. Increase the standard of living when accumulated savings can justify it, in other words, when there is enough savings to sustain an increase in living standards.
If you are broke, do not despair. I was broke until I was nearly thirty. Do as I did: implement some of these ideas today, and start setting aside some savings. Every dollar counts. The more you try to save, the easier it will get to accumulate savings. Eventually, you will develop the habit of saving. Once that happens, you never have to be broke again.

- "Ah, Venezia! What other place is as beautiful, as stable, as perfect!"
- ―Alvise, during Ezio and Leonardo's tour of Venice, 1481.[src]
Alvise da Vilandino (1441 – 1500) was a baggage handler who resided in Venice.
Having been born in Venice in 1441, Alvise later welcomed the polymath Leonardo da Vinci and his close friend, Ezio Auditore da Firenze, to the city in 1481. Following this, he gave the pair a short tour of the San Polo District and introduced Leonardo to his new workshop in Venice, before being rudely left without a tip for his service.
Several years later, in 1500, Alvise served as an officer in the Venetian Navy, which was at war with the Ottoman Empire. Having drank heavily the night before, Alvise stumbled out onto the deck in the midst of the battle and fell over the rail, where he drowned.
- In Assassin's Creed: Renaissance, and the internal files of Assassin's Creed II, Alvise is referred to as Nero, and described as an obese, pale man with large eyes, in the service of Conte da Pexaro.

Darcy: ….."Yes."
Can we just take a moment to to watch Darcy's reaction to Lizzie calling his sister crazy. It's like he wants to defend Gigi and laugh with Lizzie at the same time. And in the end - he just agrees with her. I have watched this episode at least ten times now and this is still my absolute most favorite part!!

The Trailtrekker 50km route is a challenge requiring dedication and commitment, but with the right training and preparation you can succeed!
Sign up for the 50km challenge here!
How it works
On the day of the trek, teams which have opted for the Trailtrekker 50km trek will sign in at Kilbroney Park, Rostrevor. From there, we will transport you to the starting point.
The trek is a specially designed route through the Mourne Mountains. Along the route there are seven checkpoints for teams to stop briefly to rest and refuel before setting off again and completing the trail in less than 16 hours.
Your team will be what makes your Trailtrekker experience – you will train together, fundraise together, provide encouragement to each other along the trail and have a lot of laughs along the way! Previous teams have included work colleagues, friends, family and sports club members.
Regardless of your current fitness level and whether you're an experienced hill walker or a complete novice, with the right training and preparation anyone can complete the 50km route. Training for this unique event is the perfect chance to set yourself a goal to get fit and really stick to it. Once you sign up, the Oxfam events team will be on hand to support you every step of the way with helpful advice and training guides.
The Route
The 50km Trailtrekker route passes through some of the most beautiful countryside on the island of Ireland. Oxfam is grateful to the landowners, councils and local trusts that work with us to ensure our route is safe for participants and causes minimum impact to the surrounding terrain.
Download a map of the 50k trek route here.
Teams signing up for the 50km event commit to raising a minimum team amount. The total is based on the number of people who register (£310/€385 per person) and the money raised will support Oxfam's programmes worldwide.
Around the globe, Oxfam works to find practical, innovative ways for people to lift themselves out of poverty and thrive. We save lives and help rebuild livelihoods when crisis strikes. And we campaign so that the voices of the poor influence the local and global decisions that affect them.
In all we do, Oxfam works with partner organisations and alongside vulnerable women and men to end the injustices that cause poverty.
Teams should have 75% of their fundraising amount in with Oxfam one month before the event and endeavour to get the remainder of their funds in one month after the event. Don't worry, we will provide you with lots of support to meet your fundraising target!
Please note that there is also a registration fee of £25/€30 per person. This is a personal event commitment fee and is non-refundable.
Choosing your team
Putting together your perfect Trailtrekker team will require some thought and planning. You'll depend on each other during fundraising and training - and, of course, throughout the event itself.
Tips on choosing your Trailtrekker team:
- Think about the different qualities you want in your team, whether it's energy, enthusiasm, organisational skills, fundraising ideas or an endless stream of amusing chat.
- Decide on a team leader – they'll act as the main contact between your team and the Oxfam Ireland office and will help to co-ordinate fundraising, training and logistics.
- Secure your team's place as early as possible - places are limited!
What happens if one of my team pulls out of the event?
Should one of your team need to drop out, please advise the Oxfam events team of your new team member's details ASAP. Should you be unable to find a person to take their place, please contact us for advice.
Who can enter?
Anyone who is fit and healthy, and prepared to do some training for a 50km event! At least two team members must be 18 or over on the date of the event. Minimum age for participating is 16.
How to register
What happens next?
Once you have registered, a member of the Oxfam events team will be in touch to welcome your team. You will also receive your welcome pack in the post which will include everything you need to begin fundraising and training for the challenge ahead!
Got more questions?
Please contact the Oxfam events team for advice and support!

The Eurocopter EC135 light twin helicopter is facing more trouble after the EASA issued an emergency airworthiness directive on December 19 referring to a manufacturer alert service bulletin that requires a one-time check of fuel probes and, possibly, cleaning and replacement. The issue, discovered by Bond Air Services, appears to be that the probes are indicating a fuel level higher than actual. Investigations showed that the incorrect signals that the probes transmit to the indicator may also inhibit the amber "fuel caution" light.
Emergency airworthiness directive
The FAA has issued an emergency airworthiness directive requiring the 73 U.S.-based AgustaWestland AW139s to refrain from flying into known icing and to leave the helicopter's electrothermal rotorcraft icing protection system (Rips) switched off. The limitation stems from a fire on one AW139 believed to have started with a malfunction caused by improper insulation on a rotor electrical cable. The system was certified by Goodrich (now United Technologies Aerospace Services) in 2010. The AD became effective on October 16.
Eurocopter has issued another emergency Service Bulletin and the EASA has published another emergency Airworthiness Directive for the EC225 and AS332L2 Super Pumas, this time centering on a life-raft housing. During an EC225 delivery flight, a sponson life-raft ejectable cowling was lost. It was caused by the incorrect positioning of a locking system during cowling installation. This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to the in-flight hazardous inflation of the life raft, according to the EASA.
The FAA issued an emergency airworthiness directive–2013-14-51–relating to the GE90-110B1 and -115B, which power aircraft such as the Boeing 777-200LR and 777 freighter. The July 12 AD was prompted by a report of the additional failure of a transfer gearbox assembly (TGB) radial gearshaft, outside the suspect population identified in AD 2013-10-52, which resulted in an in-flight shutdown.
The FAA issued an emergency airworthiness directive–2013-10-52–for GE90-110B1 and GE90-115B engines on May 16 after two reports of transfer gearbox assembly (TGB) failures prompted in-flight engine shutdowns. Investigations revealed the cause as TGB radial gear cracking and separation. The AD prohibits the operation of any aircraft with either engine installed five days after receipt of the directive.
Since when is an Emergency AD used to ground an aircraft fleet, as it has been in the case of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner? First off, let me be clear that if anything good can be said of the Boeing Dreamliner nightmare it's that no one had to die before the FAA would take definitive action to ground the 787 until its battery fire problems could be investigated properly.
Text of the statement released by the FAA late today.
The European Aviation Safety Agency issued an emergency airworthiness directive December 4 for the angle of attack (AOA) probes of both the Airbus A330 and A340. The AD, which became effective December 6, results from an incident in which an A330 in the climb experienced a blockage of all AOA probes, leading to autopilot disconnection and activation of the alpha (angle of attack) protection system when Mach number increased.

I've leveled cooking to max on seven of my eight 80's the old fashioned way. Last year was the first time I benefited from the Pilgrim holiday, and as an altaholic, I was grateful for the opportunity to save a bit of time. Truth be told, maxing out cooking isn't really that hard or time consuming.
Fishing is a different story, and I've only been able to get max fishing on 5 toons. It's just long, tedious and mind numbingly boring to level. Yes, I know fishing skill isn't really a big deal now, but for a lot of people, it's the principle of getting to max level, and when you have to do it for the umpteenth time, it starts to wear on you.

Particle Physicist
A-level equivalent
Italian Diploma di Maturita Scientifica (Esame di Stato)
Postgraduate degree
PhD Particle Physics (Italian Dottorato di Ricerca)
Send to a friend
Cristina studies how sub-atomic particles interact in an attempt to understand the beginning of everything.
Cristina wasn't always sure she wanted to do physics, and growing up in Italy meant that she didn't have to choose between science and humanities until university. 'I studied 10 subjects in sciences and humanities, including physics, languages and philosophy, for the secondary school diploma. My school did have a focus on science and maths but at the time it wasn't clear to me that I wanted to study physics at university'.
When she realised that understanding the fundamentals of how the world works was what really mattered to her, the decision was easy. 'There's nothing more fundamental than physics and the structure of matter,' she says.
And since plumping for physics she hasn't looked back. 'One of the many great things about physics is that it gives you the chance to travel. I was born in a small town in Tuscany and physics has allowed me to visit places as far away from there as Brazil and California. I'm still waiting to get to Australia, though!'
Now based at the University of Birmingham, Cristina moved to the UK after finishing her studies. 'The UK is a great place to do physics. My first job in the UK was at the University of Edinburgh where I worked on a project looking at what's called 'CP violation' – the balance of matter and antimatter in the universe. I'm still working in this area of physics and one of my proudest moments so far was the publication of the research I was involved in that measured CP violation precisely for the first time.'
Cristina's workload is flexible and varied, combining teaching, outreach and admin with her research. 'The great thing about physics is that it allows you to keep on learning new things. Within the next 10 years we'll have a much better idea of whether the Standard Model – the set of theories that best describes current observations of how the world is made – needs to be modified or replaced. It's an exciting time to be involved in particle physics.'
And Cristina's advice for anyone unsure of whether physics is for them? 'Doing physics at university is a great way of obtaining the critical thinking skills that are needed for a huge variety of jobs. Doing a physics degree doesn't confine you to becoming a physicist, rather it opens all sorts of doors.'

well i grew up catholic, baptised, confirmation, etc. while voting your conscience is fine civil rights are black and white, u cant be more or less equal...its equal or not....that being said. i think education is the key ...many good people grew up in traditional conservative, religious families...my mum one example..its hard to overcome your upbringing. but the fact is this is a civil right not a conscience vote.

Thinking about copyright issues this week and where we need to draw the line in the sand, so to speak. After reading several articles, including several posts by Wesley Fryer, like his information about the use of iTunes in education and his Copyright 101 story, I still had several questions running through my mind. For one, why is an article from 2003 still at the forefront of articles on this topic? Are there better, more informative, and more current pieces of information out there? And, why are so many educators okay with 'toeing' the copyright line?
Fryer makes many good points in the article, including stipulating, "Not only do educators have a responsibility and legislative mandate to model ethical, legal, and appropriate respect for US copyright law in their own teaching, but they must also educate the next generation about the importance and requirements of intellectual property law."
I think for many years teachers have always told their students about the hazards of copying written work from another source and passing it off as your own. Despite knowing that they shouldn't do it, I find kids repeatedly copying sentences and paragraphs from the web and thinking that it's no big deal. To me, this indicates one thing: we have to do a better job teaching students how to digest information and make their own meaning from what they read. We need to teach them how to research and pull apart what they are reading. Too many teachers assume that this is a step that can be skipped and just send kids off to research. If students had a better grasp of how to research, understand, and make their own meaning, then I think the plagiarism of the written word would become less of a problem.
However, with technology making images, music, and other work more available than ever to anyone in any location, we now must share with students the importance of protecting everyone's rights to their own creations beyond just written work, like pictures, images, presentations, and music to name a few. Education World has a five part series on their site called The Educator's Guide to Copyright and Fair Use. It talks about all the main points of copyright and the ins and outs of 'Fair Use'. I think that it is a good reference point for educators looking for information.
So, all this thinking about copyright and a phone call with a friend reminded me of another issue I had on my mind lately. My friend mentioned her use of the site Pinterest, and I said that I hadn't been on there in awhile because I had read some interesting articles about copyright violations through 'pinning' pictures and the site's Terms of Service (which not coincidentally were updated just a week ago) leaving their users high and dry if you were accused of pinning copyrighted work. A little research led to a slew of articles.
- Is Pinterest a Haven for Copyright Violations? by Greekgeek
This article was really interesting because it clearly explains the problem that Pinterest is having with individuals as they 'pin' work to their boards. Greekgreek demonstrates how the Creative Commons licensed image she uses in the article was pinned several times, but while she links it back to the original owner, the Pinterest pics link back to her article, failing to credit the original creator. There are also more comments on the article than one could read, but some from people whose images are being illegally pinned and how it is affecting their work. Plus, Greekgeek links many other resources on the topic.
- Anthony Kosner's Forbes article- Pinterest: Napster for Housewives or Wake Up Call for a Better Copyright Idea?
This article gives details about the lawyer and Pinterest user (Kirsten Kowalski) who first 'blew the whistle' on the copyright issues with Pinterest.
- Here is Kirsten Kowalski's original blog post: Why I Tearfully Deleted My Pinterest Inspiration Boards
There is also an update to her original post about the new Pinterest Terms of Service.
So, do you 'pin'? How does this knowledge affect your use or non-use of the site? I'm curious to see where everyone 'draws the line'. As of now, my account is still there, but I haven't pinned anything in months because of these developments. Let me know what you think!

Weekly Freakout -- Phillies RP Jonathan Papelbon
Formerly lights-out closer getting lit up
Published: Aug 07, 2013
» Get updates via Sportsmail
Join Fantasy Source Baseball for just $4.99 a month!
Jonathan Papelbon is normally regarded by fantasy baseball owners as a lights-out closer, but it's officially time to freak out about the struggling Phillies reliever.
Papelbon locked down his first 13 save opportunities this season with a 1.46 ERA, 0.69 WHIP and 8.4 K/9. But since mid-June, the right-hander has blown six saves (7-for-13) with a 4.50/1.55 line. The strikeouts have still been there (8.6 K/9), but opponents are hitting .298 against him in that stretch. Perhaps his worst outing so far this season came Tuesday night when Papelbon allowed three runs (two earned) on three hits and a walk in a non-save situation against the Cubs.
The biggest difference for Papelbon from past seasons is a dip in velocity; his average fastball this year is a very hittable 92.3 mph, down from 93.8 last year and way down from 95.0 two years ago with Boston. That explains the severe dip in Ks (8.5 K/9 this year, 11.8 in '12, 12.2 in '11) and the jump in opponents' batting average (.227 this year, .214 in '12, .207 in '11). There doesn't seem to be bad luck involved, either, as Papelbon's batting average on balls in play is right on his career mark and has actually decreased in each of the last two seasons. Meanwhile, the hits allowed have still increased.
None of this is good news for Papelbon's chances of bouncing back down the stretch. While he was able to pitch around decreased velocity earlier this season, he has lost even more velocity on his fastball lately and hitters aren't being fooled anymore. Adding to Papelbon's problems is that the Phillies just aren't very good right now, which is why he's only had 26 save chances on the year and just one since the All-Star break.
The silver lining to this cloud is that the Phillies have virtually no one to replace Papelbon in the ninth. Of course, that also means fantasy owners can't easily replace him either. Philly's best setup man, Antonio Bastardo, was suspended for the rest of the season in the Biogenesis scandal. That leaves Luis Garcia, who has a 2.61/1.35 line with 10 Ks in 10.1 career innings, as the next-best bet for owners looking to handcuff Papelbon.
For now, your best bet is to bench Papelbon until he shows signs of improvement or try to trade him if you can get good value. Only if you're desperate for saves should you continue starting him during this prolonged funk. Because there's not much reason for optimism, owners shouldn't consider buying low on Papelbon, either. If he's hurt, the Phillies have every reason to shut him down for the year. He could also be placed on waivers and traded into a setup role for a contender.
Even if he's healthy and in Philly for the long haul, it appears Papelbon is no longer a lights-out closer. If he is hurt or traded, though, it could soon be lights-out for Papelbon's fantasy value.
Finish off your competition with Fantasy Source Baseball!

Elon University is known for its traditions.
The first-year class gets an acorn at Convocation, held the Saturday following move-in day. The graduating class receives baby oak saplings at commencement. President Leo Lambert invites the entire student body to his home for a holiday party every December. And every Tuesday morning faculty, staff and students get together for a free breakfast we call College Coffee. Elon is full of traditions. But there's one tradition that often flies under the radar, and I must say, it's one of my favorites: when you turn 21, Elon throws you a birthday party.
The Turning 21 Celebration is a special event hosted several times throughout the year. Students who have recently turned 21 are invited to attend a "fancy" dinner along with a guest, typically a staff or faculty mentor who has played a special role in the student's Elon experience. For me, the question of who to invite was a no-brainer. I invited the very first professor I ever had in the School of Communications—Dr. Gaither. Dr. Gaither is a phenomenal professor whom students know very well and speak very highly of. I knew I would be honored to have him as my guest for the evening.
I heard from older students that Dr. Gaither goes all out for the Turning 21 dinners—and they were right! When I arrived to meet Dr. Gaither, he handed me a bouquet of flowers. We enjoyed a delicious meal alongside other pairs of students and their guests, listened to an excellent keynote speaker and at the end of the evening Dr. Gaither gave me a handwritten note thanking me for inviting him. Nicest of all, at the end of the note he had written that I was a shining star!
I don't know what other university fosters professor-student relationships like this. The best thing is, Dr. Gaither isn't the only professor I have a strong professional relationship with. There are several other professors in the School of Communications that I regularly meet with for coffee or lunch. Another favorite professor, Dr. Copeland, has shared a meal with me and a few other students at least eight or nine times over the years. He's taken us to lunch so many times; we recently all pulled together to take him out to a nice Italian dinner.
Here at Elon, professors know your name, they care, and sometimes, they even come to your birthday party.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
As with all schools in town, the class sizes are too big. However, most of the teachers have a lot of heart, energy, are committed, and work tirelessly to reach children at a multitude of levels. With the new principal, there's been a sea change, and this school is benefitting greatly. She's embracing Montessori, listening to parental input, and creating a mentorship program among faculty. Edgemont is teaching our kids to be global citizens and critical thinkers.
Have sent two of my children to Edgemont, the only public Montessori School in the State, and have not been disappointed. All teachers are Montessori trained. The new principal, Cheryl Hopper, is responsive, energetic, positive, and interested in involving the local teacher's college in the mix and has the connections to do it. The parents run an excellent after school enrichment program that will introduce your child to topics that are fantastic: art of the medieval ages, dance, musical theatre, yoga, art, rocketry, fencing and the list goes on.... Beautiful Edgemont Park offers its grounds for regular use, including the brand new, all-children's playground. One known as the best kept secret in town, not so sure it'll stay that way, especially with Hopper at the helm.
My two young daughters attend Edgemont. The environment has been wonderful for them, and we've had some great teachers. All of the teachers have additional Montessori training and really believe in what they are doing. There is a lot of parental involvement too.
I have two children currently at Edgemont, and one older child who was enrolled at Edgemont and is now at Montclair High. I am very happy at Edgemont, the only PUBLIC MONTESSORI school in NJ!! It is a wonderful family-like environment, with great Montessori- trained teachers. I would recommend it highly to any family new to Montclair.
We moved to Montclair to send our children to this very unique PUBLIC Montessori school. All three of my children have now graduated. Although many parents have problems with the principal, I feel that she is an excellent administrator and has served the school extremely well. My children had mostly excellent, well-trained Montessori teachers throughout their years there. There is an active PTA (I was president for a year) and, with the exception of typical political and personality problems, they do a fabulous job. There is a real sense of family at this school. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
We sent our daughter Chantal here. A very good school. I've helped bring up 10 children and grandchildren in the UK and US. No school was better than this, and some (very expensive ones) no nearly as good
great school. experienced teachers, child-centered environment with great academic outcomes. small school but with excellent extracurricular programs and good parent involvement.
Beautiful grounds. Nice small, nurturing environment. Montessori Lite. Well trained Montessori teachers, but Principal is not trained and does not really 'get' Montessori, so not nearly as much done as is possible. Very diverse and interesting family community. Amazing parent involvment providing lots of extra programs. Art, music, gym 2x per week. My kids have been happy there, but politics with principal are frustrating.

A single misstep leads to tragedy
It is sobering to think that just one wrong step could lead to a tragedy that kills a boy, shatters a family and stuns a community.
But that's what happened on Tuesday, Oct. 16 when a 12-year-old Prince George County boy fell into a water-filled quarry. Clacy Sullivan and two other boys, ages 13 and 15, where walking along the edge of the water. Sullivan didn't know how to swim - it was something Clacy's stepfather, who had raised him since he was an infant, was planning to do.
Apparently, children from nearby mobile home parks routinely trespass at the quarry off of Puddledock Road. "My son was not supposed to go there and I told him that," Clay Curry said. But in spite of warnings, many local kids frequent the area around the quarry.
Authorities say Vulcan Materials, owner of the quarry, cannot be blamed for the accident. The firm puts up "No Trespassing" signs and barriers to keep people out. Company officials call police if they notice trespassers.
But on that fateful day, Clacy and his friends were playing by a sand and gravel quarry that drops down to a depth of 80 feet. At around 4 p.m. Clacy suddenly slipped into the water after taking off his shoes. Clacy went under and wasn't seen again. His friends jumped into the water after him, but could not find him. They ran back to the nearby Red Hill mobile home park, where Clacy lived, and called police. The water temperature was about 45 degrees.
Emergency responders from Chesterfield, Fort Lee, Colonial Heights, Petersburg and Prince George and Virginia State Police assisted in the search. Between 50 and 100 recovery professionals were on the scene on the second day of the search, including four divers. A Virginia State Police helicopter hovered above the quarry in case the divers got into trouble.
Clacy Sullivan was found by a member of the Chesterfield Fire Department dive team after police with the Department of Game and Fisheries located the boy with special sonar. The discovery came as family and friends were holding a candlelight vigil on that Wednesday evening. The many emergency responders deserve the thanks of the community - they worked in difficult and dangerous conditions to find Clacy.
It was a tragic accident that shouldn't have happened. That's what makes it so tragic.

Iowa City, IA (Sports Network) - Roy Devyn Marble scored 24 points, dealt out six assists and swiped four steals as the Iowa Hawkeyes coasted to a 68-52 decision over the Indiana State Sycamores in the first round of the National Invitational Tournament at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
Aaron White posted a double-double of 11 points and 13 rebounds for Iowa (22-12), which will take on Stony Brook in the next round.
Justin Grant paced Indiana State (18-15) with 16 points. Jake Odum finished with just three assists to six turnovers in the season-ending setback.
The Sycamores shot 42.3 percent from the field and netted 11 fast-break points in the opening 20 minutes, but Iowa still took a 31-30 lead into the break despite a poor, 7-of-13 showing at the charity stripe.
The Hawkeyes hit on only 37.9 percent of their attempts from the floor after the break, but they still managed to pull away as Indiana State went 1-of-10 from 3-point range.
Iowa held a dominant, 42-27 edge in the rebounding battle.

Hip-Hop Rumors: The Game & Young Buck Link?? Swizz Beatz To Divorce? Teyana Taylor's Movie!
KHIA'S KALL-OUTS #2: On Miss Rap Supreme & Ms. Cherry…
NAHHHHMEEEEEN? I heard that Kanye West is the man and I heard the man has a deal on the table with Nike. Initially, it was thought that Kanye had created or customized these, but now that has changed. I am not hearing that Kanyeezie is working with Nike to mass make these glowing kicks. Hes had them for the Glow In The Dark" tour but, this is crazy. My homey at Ikon Radio said they look like a mix between the Supra Skytops and the Lebron II. I dont know what those kicks look like.
You want to see some super-colorful clothing that might bode well with the Kanye crowd? Check out Addicted to Fresh: Mens Spring Fashion.
I dont know that this is a beef with Usher and Chris Brown, but I am hearing a tense situation is formulating. I hear Usher is having friction with key people that hes worked with. Also, on the flip side, they have issues with him. Well, I heard that Usher has problems because his normal, longtime A&R has and president of Jive, Mr. Mark Pitts has sort of resigned to giving Chris Brown a sound and swagger that is reminiscent of Usher. Also, I heard that Usher really wanted Gucci Mane on the song Make Love In The Club. As you know, Jeezy is on there. I herd that Usher is also upset at the the marketing and promotional staff for botching his single at radio. (Honestly, I thought it was doing rather well. At least The Game says its doing really well in Cali. Click here for The Game Part 2.) NOW, the record label has allegedly pushed back and blames his George Bush-like popularity rating with the ladies on his choice of bride. Who's right?
I dont know who Terrance Dean, but it looks like hes using Hip-Hop to get some attention when this book is more indicative of the entertainment industry as a whole. However, if you are looking for some crazy rumors, I heard he is going to out some rappers as being gay. See a synopsis of Hiding In Hip-Hop.
Everyone wants to know the truth about their favorite celebrities' heart's desire. Within the masculine culture of Hip Hop and Hollywood, there is a well-known gay subculture that industry insiders are keenly aware of but choose to hide. Terrance Dean worked his way up for more than ten years in the entertainment industry from intern to executive, and has lived the life of glitz and bling along with Hollywood and Hip Hop's most glamorous. With a family full of secrets and working in an industry founded on maleness — where one's job, friendships, and reputation all depend on remaining on the down low and in hiding — Dean writes a revealing account of the journey of coming out from hiding.
Full of startling anecdotes and incredible true stories, Hiding in Hip Hop is not a traditional tell-all. A personal and poignant memoir, it is also one of the most provocative and honest looks at stardom and sexuality.

Jordin Sparks, the American Idol, has been forced to withdraw from Alicia Keys' highly anticipated tour and cancel all performances for the rest of this month. The singer has experienced severe vocal problems and may actually lose her lovely voice. I know she was looking forward to this opportunity. Sparks was supposed to open over the weekend in Hampton, Va. In addition to Ms. Keys tour, Jordin couldnt perform at an Earth Day concert in Washington, D.C. Hopefully, she will be back in May.
Sheeeeesh! Its like so whatever at this point, but if you dont know by now Jay-Z and Beyonce are indeed MARRIED. We verified it, others places verified it and once again, it is verified! They did the deed this last Friday, before it could expire. We are all liberated.
Thanks tmz!
This song is in such poor taste! Riskay or somebody has a song called Can I Smell Yo D***. Dont you think its the end when you have to go that far? I think its time to go at that point.
My homey over at Shameless Hype hit me up and gave me the 411 on why a scheduled show in Oakland was cancelled on Sunday. The actual show went down Monday night, as re-scheduled. Anyway, technical difficulties were cited as the real reason, but I heard a more nefarious reason was at hand. A source claiming to be an employee for Jay-Z and/or Mary J. Blige has spilled some beans. Question: were the dynamic duo in Las Vegas on Saturday night partying and drinking and unable to make that Oakland show? Or was there some attempt to delay the show, because it wasnt sold out? I dont know. I suppose those that cared got to see their show, unlike myself.
I heard Treach of Naughty By Nature might have gotten caught out there for riding dirty. From what my intell has been telling me, Treach was riding his car somewhere in New Jersey, I would assume Newark, Orange or Jersey City. Well, Treach to this day still wears a bulletproof vest out in the streets. Details are murky, but he might have been spotted by police and vests arent legal. You know cops want you easy to slay if they have to. Anyway, I heard Treach got busted for the vest and then they found a gun in the car. On top of it all, I heard he was driving with a suspended license. Anyway, there hve been a number of shootings in the Newark, NJ area and they attempted to pin that on Treach, I heard. They soon determined that the gat that Treach allegedly had was not fired. Hes good. Guess what?
All I can say is damn!
Are you tired of the election stuff? Just wondering?
I am sick of this too but click here for an excellent interview with a priest about Rev. Wright and even Farrakhan. The media wont stop their attacks this report is from this APRIL. Props to Father Pfleger.
Did you listen to that new Nas song? Yo, thats the song I mentioned was on Grand Theft Auto video game! I didnt even know.
Never say die, eh? Sam and Bo aka The Eastside Boyz of Lil Jon are about to drop and album, I heard.
Mariah Carey hit No 1, moving 475,607 units of E=MC2.
Wendy is working with Fox on a new show that will drop in July in NY, LA, Dallas and Detroit. It will be released nationwide in the fall of 08.
Want to see all the old Making The Band people? I heard that Da Band will make an appearance on Diddys current show. Look for Babs, Dylan, Ness, Mysterious, Freddy, Sara and others on the show. I dunno I hope they dont fight!
Did Foxy Brown and Lil Kim officially dead their beef? It would seem so.
Jesse Martin is leaving Law & Order and I heard Anthony Anderson is replacing him? I dont know about that one!
I heard that Kanye West and Alexis were doomed mainly because of the pressures of the glow tour. Other people are saying that Kanye looped back around with his former flame, Brooke Crittenton. She was hot, but a lil immature as I saw it.
If you read the AHH news story on Swizz Beatz and Mashonda, it sounded nice and neat. I heard it is quite messy behind the scenes.
Nas and Kelis are allegedly going to war with the city of Miami in the form of a $100 million lawsuit for racial profiling. They felt like they were scoped out last year for no good reason.
Mos Defs ex-wife is planning a tell-all book. Sheeesh
This skater dude is lucky this older dude didnt throw his belly around too much. See below: WHEN OLD DUDES ATTACK!
I was practicing the Iron Man dance and I noticed this song is a diss to Soulja Boy. In the song they say, destroy all the targets / no Souljah boy, hes lost it. And in the song, they got Cannon, Cannon and blast their target.
Check out the video. Soulja Boy actually humps on his homey. Hmmmmmm (I hope he doesn't pop up in that book. LOL!)
On some real s**t, I want to encourage people to cop that new Prodigy album. I am so impressed by this CD. Hes in rare form like he was in the Shook Ones era! Damn, P! Im sorry hes in jail and not in the world to enjoy this!
Here is the latest video for Dirty New Yorker.
You know, if you missed this, you have to see it. Its pretty good. The AHH team put this together and Foxy even busts a free style. Fresh out of from prison, Foxy Brown went to church for a prayer at St Pauls The Apostle Church last Sunday. She prayed a lil more and then I heard she went to the church gift shop for a lil shopping. Rumor has it, Foxy tried to buy about $200 worth of stuff from the church and realized she left her cash somewhere. Well, her bodyguard acted like a human ATM and gave her the money.
This is wild, but MiJac didnt tap S.M. I see you, MJ getting that kiss!
She is going to cut all her hair off for a movie. You go, Halle, get back to work. "Nappily Ever After is the name of the movie.

xDB Replication - Multi Master
xDB Replication - Single Master
Maine was one of the first states to implement a converged database that shared all residents' medical files in a single location. The health information exchange is a computer network that connects even the smallest healthcare organizations in the state with large enterprise facilities.
According to BusinessWeek, the initiative was started when the Obama administration gave Maine nearly $550 million in federal grants to transform the healthcare industry. However, the implementation of a converged database did not sit well with all residents, as some fear there are inherent security and privacy risks that will expose personally identifiable and financial information.
"I sure don't want my information in that thing," Maine resident Victor Hand said, according to BusinessWeek. "I just don't think they can keep it private. If I knew for sure that nobody could get it but my doctors, then maybe I'd participate, but there's no way to guarantee that."
Another problem is that there is a lack of federal regulation regarding how to deploy the databases. As a result, states can set their own guidelines about whether to inform patients that their sensitive data is being hosted in a shared virtual environments. This means that some people are unaware such databases exist, while others are powerless to remove personal information from the system, the news source said.
Citing a report by the nonprofit EHealth Initiative, BusinessWeek revealed there are at least 255 health information exchanges throughout the United States. However, since not many people are notified of the migration of their personal information, they disapprove of the program.
"The whole system could get torn apart by the privacy issues," University of Louisville director of the institute for bioethics, health policy and law Mark Rothstein said, according to Bloomberg Businessweek. "If you don't ask people and you just do it, you're asking for trouble. It's foolish. It's a shortcut that doesn't pay off in the long run."
Another major issue is the fact that the system will provide a warehouse of information for cybercriminals to access if the system's are not properly secured. People argue that if doctors and lawyers know how to use the exchanges, identity thieves could probably learn. According to the Identity Theft Resource Center, there were more than 80 reported medical-related data breaches in 2011, exposing more than 3.7 million sensitive records.
Despite these concerns, the federal government is making plans to allow databases to communicate with one another and share information. Similar to cell phone networks, the goal is to allow individuals to move from state to state and easily transfer medical information to another exchange. The systems have a variety of benefits, including allowing physicians to look up medical records on the fly, BusinessWeek noted.
Now government officials are beginning to take steps to ensure residents and patients have the ability to choose if they wish to migrate personal data to the exchanges and have a say in updating privacy and security requirements, BusinessWeek reported. As a result, people may feel more comfortable moving medical records to the databases, especially when they are informed of the benefits, including giving multiple physicians the ability to look after sick patients, regardless of their location.
"It gives me peace of mind - tremendous peace of mind - that something's there all in one place and that I'm being looked at holistically," Maine resident Ann Sullivan said, according to BusinessWeek.

5 Rocket Stocks Worth Buying This Week
Investment management behemoth BlackRock (BLK) is benefiting more than most from the equity rally that stocks have been enjoying for the past couple of quarters -- and the stock shows it. Shares of the $41 billion firm have rallied more than 38% in the last six months alone.
BlackRock is the biggest money manager in the world, with approximately $3.8 trillion in client assets in its book. Because the firm earns its keep based on that AUM number, ballooning equity values expand BlackRock's revenues in kind.While BlackRock started off as a fixed income shop, it transformed itself after the Great Recession created an opportunity to buy Barclays Global Investors at a discount. Now, equities make up almost half of the firm's total assets under management, a fortuitous change in allocation given the performance stocks are seeing right now. Stocks also come with heftier management fees, and bigger profits for BlackRock's income statement. More recently, BlackRock's investment menu has expanded to include all sorts of alternative investments and ETFs, products that make BLK's grasp on AUM a bit more tenuous (low-risk strategies tend to have stickier assets) but are necessary for the firm's strategy. Despite ramping up the number of retail investors it serves, BlackRock still gets two-thirds of its assets from fellow institutional investors. While institutional clients are stickier, they also come with smaller fees and fewer growth opportunities. Retail customers are BlackRock's biggest growth opportunity for the next few years.
