Because of the way medicine has evolved, it is helpful though sometimes difficult, to distinguish clearly the following aspects:
The practice of medicine, which is concerned with the medical care of individuals and communities, both to maximize current and future health and to track and monitor current disease;
The science of medicine, which is concerned with the advancement of medical knowledge and technique;
The business of medicine, which determines how and where medical care is provided and how best to ensure that the costs of medical care are held to a reasonable level, as well as what is reasonable in highly competitive profit-driven sectors of the business; and
The regulation of medicine, which is society's way of ensuring that medicine is practiced competently and in safe settings.
Even within this very particular domain, there are multiple contexts—business, practice, science, and law and regulation—in which privacy considerations as well as other concerns have to be evaluated, and each entails different tradeoffs. For example, it is easy to imagine a patient who is perfectly willing to share very sensitive information for the purpose of improving her medical care but is far less comfortable with providing that information for inclusion in a longitudinal research study. She might also be made uneasy by realizing that the same information might be entered into records that will make their way to an insurance company that will than make decisions about the extent and nature of her coverage (or that of her relatives), or might be made available to a public health laboratory for epidemiological purposes.
There are even subcontexts that are relevant. In the general context of medicine as business, one might identify the business of medicine per se and the business of the fields that surround medicine. The pharmaceutical industry is commonly seen as an adjunct to the health care industry, but pharmaceutical companies are often held to business and ethical standards very different from those that apply to such clearly health-related businesses as hospitals or medical clinics. Insurance companies, which are more and more the payer of the costs of medical treatment, provide yet another subcontext, given that it is the rare person in the United States who is able to obtain consistent medical care without the use of these insurance companies and abiding by their sometimes-onerous information requirements.
To illustrate, consider the issue of privacy as it relates to the availability of health insurance. Using the anchoring vignette approach, a possible survey question might be, How much privacy [do you/does "Name"] have from [your/his/her] health insurance provider? Here are a number of possible vignettes:

No former Presidential nominee has later been nominated for Vice President, but Ronald Reagan and Gerald Ford briefly discussed the possibility of former President Ford running as Reagan's Vice President in 1980. Although it didn't happen and it was only briefly considered, Reagan was serious enough about it that he and Ford had preliminary discussions about how big Ford's role would have been if it had happened.
I'm not sure if this goes along with what you're asking, but there are two Vice Presidents who served as VP under more than one President. George Clinton was President Jefferson's second term VP (1805-1809) and became James Madison's running mate in 1808. John C. Calhoun was John Quincy Adams's VP (1825-1829) and was elected VP again in 1828 alongside Andrew Jackson.
Again, I'm not sure if this fits your question either, but Thomas A. Hendricks was an unsuccessful candidate for Vice President in 1876 (alongside Samuel J. Tilden in that disputed election), but eight years later he won the Vice Presidency after all as Grover Cleveland's first term running mate.

Note: For Michigan football score updates, text SCORES to 80373
Columbus,OH (WQLR) – The Ohio State defense dominated the second half, keepingMichiganoff the scoreboard to preserve their undefeated season with a 26-21 win Saturday afternoon over their rivals at home.
The Buckeye's cracked the scoreboard on the opening drive on a Carlos Hyde 3-yard run into the end zone. The Wolverines put a scoring drive together on their next possession after fumbling the ball on their opening drive. Roy Roundtree capped a 75-yard pass play from Devin Gardner with a touchdown to tie the game at 7.
Gardnerfinished the game 11-for-20 with 171 yards, a touchdown and an interception. Robison led the ground game forMichiganwith 122 yards on 10 carries and a touchdown.
The two teams would trade scores in the second quarter, including a 67-yard rushing score by Denard Robinson to end the half 21-20 in favor of the Buckeyes.
Two Drew Basil field goals were all that Ohio State needed in the second half to preserve the win as their defense held the Wolverines scoreless. The Buckeyes finished 4-for-13 on third down whileMichiganwas 4-for-10, but a pair of turnovers onMichigan's final two drives of the game ended scoring chances for the Wolverines.
A record 105,899 fans witnessed "The Game", the largest crowd ever at the Horseshoe. Facing heavy NCAA penalties for receiving improper benefits, the Buckeyes season ends at 12-0, and number four in the AP polls.Michigan, ranked 19 in the BCS, 20 in the AP polls, will await their bowl announcement after posting an 8-4, 6-2 Big Ten mark in the regular season.

A-1M Flies; Embraer Delivers Milestone Aircraft
In a ceremony at the Gavião Peixoto plant on June 19, Embraer marked three milestones as part of its activities to support the Brazilian air force. The most notable was the first flight of the first A-1 AMX upgraded to A-1M configuration. The A-1M is a refurbished aircraft upgraded with a number of new systems, including Mectron SCP-01 Scipio multimode radar, onboard oxygen generating system and an Elbit avionics suite that includes a new glass cockpit and the Dash helmet-mounted display. Embraer is modernizing 43 aircraft to the A-1M standard in a program scheduled for completion in 2017. Ten aircraft have already entered the upgrade process.
During the ceremony Embraer also handed over the last A-29 Super Tucano to the Brazilian air force. The service became the launch customer for the type when it ordered 99 in December 2003 under the AL-X program. In Força Aerea Brasiliana (FAB) service the A-29 is used for advanced training and as a light attack/patrol aircraft as part of the Sivam Amazon surveillance system.
Embraer's third achievement of the day was delivery to the FAB of the final two F-5M modernized fighters from the first batch to be ordered. Forty-six aircraft were covered by this program, which involved structural refurbishment for at least 15 more years of life. An avionics update developed with Elbit included replacing the original radar with the Selex Galileo Grifo F, and the installation of a datalink, modern cockpit and helmet-mounted display.
Conversion of 11 more aircraft (eight F-5E single-seaters and three F-5F two-seaters purchased from Jordan) to F-5M standard is under way, following contract award in December 2010. Deliveries of this second batch will start next year.

Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be with you all.
-2 Thessalonians 3:16 (ASB)
Thoughts on Today's Verse
From the dawn of mankind, there is probably nothing that has been more sought after in this world at war, than peace. Nations have fought bitter wars for peace and lives have been lost in a vain pursuit of peace, but peace offered by this world's system is a false, fragile, imperfect, pseudo-peace that leaves a hungry heart and a disappointed soul. The God of Peace started to unveil Himself as our Peace to the frightened Gideon and He expanded this understanding to David the shepherd-king, who discovered His Lord was One that gently led him beside still waters.
Paul understood that the shed blood of the holy Lamb of God, that great Shepherd of the sheep, knocked down the wall of partition and tore the curtain of separation from top to bottom, so that we who believe on Him are comforted by our great God of peace. And in the fullness of time He sent the Prince of Peace to be born of a virgin in dishonour and shame, so that at the appointed time He would be exulted as …. Lord of Peace.
It is the Lord of Peace Himself that promised to leave His own Peace with His confused disciples and this same assurance is given to all His children who are seeking to serve the Lord of Peace, Himself, with all their hearts in the world at war. His promise of peace is not the peace of this world, but a peace that bring comfort and rest, refreshment and a perfect inner peace that transcends humanity's comprehension – both now and for evermore, amen.
My Prayer
We praise You with all our hearts for Your indwelling Spirit of Peace. May we shed abroad Your peace in our lives to a hurting world that has so lost its direction in the world's vain pursuit of a pseudo-peace that can never satisify, in Jesus name we pray, AMEN.

Bayern's Tymoshchuk considering his options
The 33-year-old Ukrainian has failed to secure a regular starting place with the Champions League runners-up, though he started that game against Chelsea. He has a year left on his contract Bayern and is thought to be looking to sell him while they can.
"It may be interesting, both options," said Tymoshchuk when asked about whether he'd prefer to finish his career in Russia or elsewhere.
"Now various offers are coming and after my vacation I will look into all of them and think over it."
Tymoshchuk, who has been heavily linked with a move to AC Milan, played all three of Ukraine's group games at Euro 2012, which was considered a failure by the country's football officials expecting to make at least the quarterfinals as co-hosts.
Tymoshchuk joined Bayern in 2009 after helping Zenit St. Petersburg to the 2008 UEFA Cup, and has made 70 appearances in total for the club.
A national team player since 2000, Tymoshchuk has 119 international caps.

Friday night is "Buck Night," which coincides with the Young Alumni Late Night event being held under the Big Tent.
Sampling will be from 8:30-11:00 p.m. on Friday, October 24. Participation in Buck Night is requested of all teams, but not mandatory. Each team is encouraged to participate by providing samples in exchange for tickets that will be purchased by the public. Samples are the competitor's choice (example: chicken thigh, single rib, portion of sausage, etc.). Teams may choose to offer more substantial options (example: pulled pork sandwich, chicken quarter, meal combos, etc.), but all offerings must be priced in dollar increments and at least one $1.00 sample option must be offered. The competition organizers will offer beverages on Buck Night for $1.00 as well.
At the close of Buck Night, teams can redeem their collected tickets for their cash equivalent. Teams are encouraged to promote attendance from among their networks of family, friends and colleagues.
On Saturday morning from 10:45 a.m. to Noon, there will be a public sampling of pulled pork from each team. Each team will be provided two (2) complimentary pork shoulders to prepare for the public tasting. Your pulled pork will be collected by competition volunteers no later than 10 a.m. on Saturday morning and will be kept warm until the start of public tasting. Disposable pans will be provided. Rating cards will be collected from the public and used to determine the "People's Choice" winners. Though prizes will be awarded, this category will not count toward Grand Champion standings.

First came the viral pic of the man on a train ride from Philadelphia who was supposedly raving on a train about cheating and, in turn, has been publicly shamed on Facebook feeds the world over. Now, photographer Kimberly Massengill, aka Substantia Jones, has started a Tumblr called Smile, Sizeist!, which invites anyone who has experienced fat-shaming to snap a photo of their harasser and submit it for publication on the blog, ideally with the story of the incident.
Jones told The Huffington Post that she started the site because "I want fat people to know there's a way to fight back non-violently, another way to shield against the shame and humiliation the harasser seeks to impose. I want to help facilitate a power exchange."
Given how shameful, out-of-control, and prevalent fat-shaming has gotten, I get why there's an impetus for something like this Tumblr. But I can't help but feel like the mentality seems to be, let's fight fire with fire, shame with shame ...
Plus, as in the case of the man on the train, there are the issues of privacy (photos of sizeist shamers so far appear to be mostly candid, although one was taken with permission), and also, how about ethical reporting? Sure, a blog is a blog, it's opinion ... not necessarily fact. But the way Substantia is presenting the fat-shaming incidents on the site, you would assume they were all true -- word for word, detail for detail ... But there's a chance what we're reading is more fiction than fact.
It's one person's story next to a photo of someone who -- in most, not all, of these posts -- has been given no voice to defend him or herself. Perhaps it was a misunderstanding, a miscommunication, something was misheard? And now their photo is on Tumblr for all the world to see next to a post that makes them look like they're a discriminatory jackass. Isn't something about that troubling? Or just ... not kosher?
Furthermore, doesn't going to the trouble of taking the person's photo, writing the story up, and then making it this big, hairy, publicized thing empower the fat-shamer? Make them a pseudo-celebrity (you know, of the lowest on the totem pole kind)?
Fat-shaming is a serious problem that must be addressed, but I'm not so sure this is the best way. I'd much rather deny these insecure, hateful bullies any attention whatsoever. Ignore them, be above it. (Just look at Melissa McCarthy! Perfect example.) Because, in this case, an eye for an eye isn't going to get the message across that shaming -- in any form -- is just plain wrong.
How do you feel about publicly shaming fat-shamers?
it's the attention they desire
If a person is in public they have no expectation of privacy. Its how paparazzi are allowed to snap shots of celebes when they are out in public. It may be annoying but it's not breaking the law.
Freedom of speech is a right. If a person takes a photo of another person either candid or not, while the subject is in a public area, there does not need to be a release signed and the photographer owns the photo and has the right to do with it as they wish.
So I say if you don't want to wind up on the site, keep your opinions to yourself, at least while out in public.
I agree that judging and shaming those who judge and shame people who are overweight (or anything else that people judge others over) brings yourself down to their level. However, after skimming and reading some of the posts on this blog it appears to me that the postings are more focused on creating an open and honest society (where people can be held accountable for their own actions) rather than a closed, secretive, and deceitful society (where people can, on the outside, pretend to be a better person than they actually are on the inside).
This blog might also be a good tool to teach children about how being judgmental affects others (e.g., by having them put themselves in the shoes of those on this blog who were judged and even physically attacked [e.g., "How would you feel if someone said or did that to you if you were overweight...?"] by those who are judgmental and even hateful towards others).
I love it.
Fat shamers are just one-half step above Nazi's, WCURiverrat.
River rat. Seems so apt.
