Creating cryptographic agility with alternatives to OpenSSL
Apache HTTPD to the Rescue
However, one piece of software does support several SSL/TLS implementations, and it also has proxy capabilities. Apache HTTPD with mod_proxy supports HTTP, FTP, and HTTP CONNECT. Basically you can cover web and FTP clients and any clients that support HTTP CONNECT. To proxy a website, you can simply enable mod_proxy and configure something like:
ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/ ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/
To support the CONNECT method, you'll also need mod_proxy_connect and a configuration such as
AllowConnect port X
X is the port (by default only 443 and 563 are allowed, HTTPS, and NNTP over SSL, respectively).
Compiling with GnuTLS
Here is where things go from bad to worse. I checked quite a few software packages, and although most of them support OpenSSL, very few support anything else. To quote the Dovecot site:
Dovecot was initially built to support both OpenSSL and GNUTLS. GNUTLS has however had some problems and nowadays it does not work any more. Patches to fix it are welcome.
I suspect the other issue is that OpenSSL works well enough, so why invest significant time and effort in supporting a second SSL/TLS implementation?
I'll be honest, this article didn't go the way I wanted it to. My hope was to find some software like Stunnel that supported GnuTLS. Then, I would provide some instructions on downloading, installing, and configuring it to act as a proxy for HTTP and other protocols, such as POP and IMAP. Then, you could have installed this software as a front end, and the next time a problem cropped up in OpenSSL, you could have simply switched to GnuTLS for the duration of the emergency. Sadly, this was not the case. Instead, it seems that outside of a few limited applications, pretty much everyone supports OpenSSL and only OpenSSL. I hope this will change with time.

Shanghai Port container volume up 11.4% in January
Shanghai Port saw its container volume rise 11.4 percent in January from a year earlier, its fastest growth in almost a year, data issued by the port's operator showed.Container throughput reached 2.92 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), up from 2.76 million in December, marking the highest level since at least 2007 according to port data.
The numbers, which are closely watched by investors for more clues on the strength and sustainability on China's economic recovery, come ahead of China's January trade data, due on Friday.
Economists polled by Reuters expect annual exports to grow 17 percent in January from a year ago, which would be the strongest in 11 months, while annual imports are seen to have risen 23.3 percent last month, up from December's 6 percent rise.
The 11.4 percent growth in container volume, the fastest since February 2012, was boosted by the timing of the Lunar New Year holiday, which fell in January last year, but only starts in February this year.
The year-on-year increase for January compared with a rise of 3.9 percent a month earlier.
This marked the fifth straight month of gains, further positive news after 2012's record haul of 32.5 million TEUs, up from 31.7 million in 2011.
Shanghai overtook Singapore to be the world's busiest container port in 2010 and surpassed 30 million TEUs in 2011, which set a record high at the time.
It has maintained pole position, finishing 2012 ahead of Singapore, which posted 31.6 million TEUs, according to data from the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore. (Reuters)

Floating bone continuously hampering pacer Harris' run-up
Australian pacer Ryan Harris's current knee concern is not related to excruciating pain or workload management, rather an old sting that keeps interrupting his run-up.
Harris is booked in for knee surgery at the end of the three-Test series against South Africa, which starts next Wednesday in Centurion.
The 34-year-old will miss the Indian Premier League to have fragments of floating bone removed from his right knee.
Harris said the injury was something ha has been putting up with it for six to eight months now, and added that he knows when it comes on, so I just have to flick the knee out and move the bits and it goes away.
Harris has little cartilage in his right knee, the legacy of previous injuries, News.com.au reports.
Australia trained at Centurion for the first time, the batsmen spending most of their time indoors in one-on-one net sessions with Darren Lehmann and Michael Di Venuto.
The pacers went to work in the outdoor nets, attacking a wet wicket.
Mitchell Johnson labelled Harris an inspiration for the way he has regularly pushed through the pain barrier in extending a late-blooming career.

Hello. My name is Erin Rose Tollefsen, and I am a Horror Noob. It's not like I have never seen horror movies, in fact, some of my favorite movies are horror movies. It's just that I have not seen many of the horror movies a lot of my friends obsess over. And it sucks. So, I am on a quest to "get in the know" about these films.
Just for starters, it would probably be best for me to share some info with you so you know more about me and so you know what movies to suggest for me to watch.
My favorite horror movies include:
- Return of the Living Dead
- Day of the Dead
- Land of the Dead
- The Exorcist
- Freaks
- Cannibal Holocaust
I have never seen any of the original Halloween movies, original Friday the 13th movies, and only a few of the original Nightmare on Elm Street movies.
I am TERRIFIED of ANYTHING that lives in water, so movies about sharks or anything involving marine wildlife is out of the question. I will not watch it.
That's all I can think to share…if you have any more questions, you can e-mail me at email@example.com. I thank you for checking out this blog, and I hope you will come back from time to time to see how it progresses!

So today is the day. I perform at the Purple Onion at 8 o'clock. I was there last night, hanging out with friends and watching great comedy. I'll talk about that later because right now I have to get ready to head over to FCCFreeRadio's studios to be on Travis "Too Much" Curry's inaugural show. The show will be co-hosted by Tony Sparks and will also feature Sylvan brethren, Andrew Moore.
Tune in at 2 (Click the Link for listening Information)
Today started with an egg sandwich, cleaning my room and talking to one of my favorite people about the intricacies of monster sex. Good start. I'll be tweeting throughout the day anything that comes to mind, like a LiveTweet Onion Juice experience.
I'm weirdly calm about the whole ordeal. People are still buying tickets and I'm running my set internally to gauge for time and whatnot but I don't feel nervous. Purple Onion is a historic room/stage, but indeed it is a stage. I'm more comfortable on stage than any other time in my life.
I like to thank you readers for supporting me with your eyeballs. This blog is fun and this segment has been fun. Hope to see you at the show. If not, hope to feel you in the zenith.
Thank You For Reading
Cuddles and I are going to take over the world.
TWO DAYS until I take the stage at the historic Purple Onion. Two days until I mix new and old material to entertain friends, family and strangers. Two days until I can dance and play and be happy; be my self.
I've gone back and forth with my emotions on this one. Some key people in my life aren't going to be able to make it… but in the same breath I can appreciate the ones who are able to come out to support me.
One of them being my Dad.
My Dad is a hero of mine for various reasons. The major contribution (besides genetics) is his encouragement of my creativity. If my mom taught me about being driven, my father taught me how to dream.
My dad introduced me to comic books, movies, Stephen King novels, music collecting, sports, and a slew of other things that I take very serious that the world may overlook.
He introduced me to comedy. When I was growing up he would show me movies like Which Way is Up by Richard Pryor, Blazing Saddles by Mel Brooks, and Coming to America starring Eddie Murphy.
The scene that my father played the most from the latter movie was where Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall are looking for meager accommodations.
He must have played this scene 30 times in a row once, it's beats and punchline ingrained into my very existence.
It was moments like this and movies like these that started my obsession with the art form and my Dad was right next to me plugging away information about this Bruce or that Foxx. And this was when I was 7 to about 14, but he did not allow my age to be a factor in me appreciating amazingly funny ideas and ideals.
When I told him I started doing comedy he was a bit surprised. He knew I was funny but he also knew I was shy (he found that out the hard way when he tried to teach how to spit game to women). Also there is a discrepancy between my father and my comic theory. I'm a very dry, he's very guttural and we bounce opinions in between. Regardless, he's supported me and my comic endeavors and I'm glad to make him proud as I take center stage at the Purple Onion.
I'm performing at the Purple Onion for better or worse it's happening August 28th. Still a lot to do and a lot to talk about but I'm obliged to tell you why I'm so optimistic about my show. As I've written about before I'm featured on a show with two of my favorites on the scene: Jabari Davis and Melanie O'Brien. In addition to those style giants, my show also features three gentlemen whom I personally know and immensely respect.
Joey Bragg
I saw Joey Bragg at the BrainWash and he immediately bowled me over. A prodigy of sorts, cool, crispy, smooth and delivering gems of a bygone era (my adolescents). I admire the ire he and inspires and the deserved recognition of being talented first and a youngster second.
Eric Murphy
Eric is cool. He hosts an open mic in North Beach at the Impala Lounge where I've been featured a few times. His work ethic is to be respected and his cadence/tone is intriguing to watch. He also references pro-wrestling in his act so I have to give it up to him for that.
Bryan Moore
Bryan Moore is our "Special Guest". I just saw him at Pissed of Pete's and I can personally attest to his goofy charm and grandeur. Plus he's also a good dude off stage. Bryan and Jabari are going to be a dramatic one-two punch to end my show.
So there you have it folks. I know everybody on the bill. I like everybody on the bill. We all compliment each other and overall create the best card out of the entire weekend.
If you want to see the best show of the four: go to http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/122517 and select August 28th at 8:00PM. Or find me and I'll get you in for a discount.
Thank you for reading

Comedian and good man Dave Wiswell is heading to New York City. This is significant because this means a discontinuation of one of my favorite podcasts: The Best of Boredom.
With this in mind I direct you to my favorite episode of the Best of Boredom, involve two black comedians and a hilarious game.
Best of Boredom featuring Dave Wiswell & Miles K (Guests: Greg Edwards & Julian Vance)
OJ: Could you imagine the sheriff walking in… "Hey, there's two lesbians in the old church!"
David: "They're reading romance novels with each other and scissoring!"
OJ: Male scissoring is the worst kind of scissoring.
David: Yeah, just rubbing buttholes.

Despite Ford's mostly successful efforts to yank its product line along by the earlobes, it still needs to find cost savings. To that end, the advertising arms of the Ford and Lincoln-Mercury divisions have been combined, bucking the traditional Balkanization in the marketing wing.
Ford traditionally maintained separate sales and marketing groups, though a single person did serve as brand overlord for all three. Now, the marketing and sales efforts will be by product type, rather than brand, so the Edge team will also shill the MKX, for example. To execute this change, a game of musical chairs has been going on, with Brett Wheatley moving from general manager for Lincoln-Mercury to the customer incentives group, Lincoln brand manager Tom Grill will be joining the global marketing group, while global media manager for Ford, Mark Kaline, has separated from the Blue Oval. This deck shuffling may wind up with a good marketing hand, or it could be a whole bunch of worthless cards.

Seven cyclists share why they ride, their favorite local routes and the joy biking brings them.
UW-Madison scholars offer a map to the net neutrality debate.
Maybe you've spotted it in your daily news feed in the last few weeks. Net neutrality — the idea that the Internet should remain an open, democratic, free-market medium for all people, regardless of how much the
y pay — is getting mainstream attention.
At the UW-Madison, Danny Kimball and Lucas Graves both study issues involving net neutrality. Kimball is an instructor and Ph.D. candidate in UW-Madison's Communication Arts Department specializing in new media; net neutrality is the focus of his dissertation. Graves is a former Wired reporter and now an assistant professor in the School of Journalism and Mass Communications.
They are Syrian immigrants and Bhutanese refugees. Spouses of visiting professors from Pakistan and au pairs from Ecuador. Studious mothers of 12 from Somalia whose turn it is, finally, to attend class.
Some, highly educated in their home country, arrive with advanced degrees. Others have never set foot inside a school and struggle to read and write in their native language.
Step into an English as a Second Language classroom at Madison College's downtown campus, and you'll find learners from 10 or 15 countries, and as many stations in life, practicing together.
"The clock is on the wall." "Epiphane is Akugbe's brother." Or in higher levels, "Had I known you like reggae, I would have invited you."
For most of us, smartphones make life more convenient and fun. We route trips, game, buy things and share ideas on the go. But for blind users, smartphones can be survival tools. An app or web page that's not accessible is more than an annoyance — it disconnects and disorients.
Kevin Jones is one such user. Blind since birth and a lifelong Madison-area resident, Jones is a technology evangelist and an emerging force in the local web and app development community. He's on a mission to help developers understand how to make their content accessible to the blind.
If you're having trouble imagining how a blind user navigates a smartphone, head to your phone's accessibility settings, turn on the screen reader (VoiceOver on Apple iOS, TalkBack on Google's Android platform), shut your eyes and try catching up on today's news or tweeting.
My first piece for Madison Magazine, the April 2014 cover story:
"We're excited to have you on our team! It's not often we hand out cover stories to folks we've never worked with before, but our hunch that you were the best fit for our Best Places to Work project was a good one." — Brennan Nardi, Editor
The Humanities Hackathon leads the UW's entry into digital humanities.
If a paperback on your summer reading list was published anonymously, you'd probably notice. But if this article lacked a byline, or tonight's episode of Wilfred didn't credit a writer, you might not bat an eyelash.
Mark Vareschi, assistant professor of English at UW-Madison, wants to know why, and also how anonymous publication affects the way we interpret published or performed works. To help him get closer to the answers, he turned to computers….
Another collaboration among photographer, filmmaker, and creative director McNair Evans; designer Adam Prince; and Liz Merfeld: A re-branded and re-launched Service Thread.
Together we refined Service Thread's brand look, sound, and feel. We helped them transcend their existing brand identity to reflect a genuinely accessible yet cutting-edge persona.
From here we applied these new tools to launch a completely new website.
Last May, the girls next door found a baby bunny hopping near their tomato garden, scooped her up and placed her in a box in their garage. "What should we do with her?" they asked me, the neighborhood's token animal rescuer.
She was the size of my fist, her eyes and ears open, in good health. I had recently learned that at this age, belying their helpless appearance, bunnies are out of the nest and on their own. So we planted her beneath some tangled boscage in their backyard and watched her scamper away.
Bunnies like her often find their way (via well-meaning "rescuers") to the Dane County Humane Society's Four Lakes Wildlife Center (FLWC) every day in spring and summer….
We teamed up with creative director McNair Evans and designer Adam Prince to completely rebrand healthcare technology company Healthgram.
With a new company name, direction, design, mission, and voice, Healthgram now sounds and looks like the revolutionary software technology development company it is. Post-rebrand, our creative team (Evans, Prince & Merfeld) created an entirely new website and software portal environment.
Personal chef Sami Fgaier was looking for more traction from his website. We added several pages to the website, rewrote it, reorganized it, and implemented several SEO strategies to help potential customers find him on Google.
If you're an inventor or crafter, perhaps you've used a 3D printer to bring your ideas or artwork to life. For the rest of us, the concept might sound kind of far out. But a world where 3D printing is as commonplace as laser printing is close enough to touch.
Hannah Bernard-Donals is a Certified Professional Midwife and runs All Four Trimesters Midwifery, a private home birth midwifery practice in Madison.
She needed her existing website to attract more local moms-to-be looking for midwifery, duola, and lactation services and support.
We optimized her on-page content and her behind-the-scenes website elements and worked with her to build up her Google Plus page to help Madison families find her fast.

If someone blindfolded you, spun you around and plopped you down on the third floor of the historic Madison train depot on West Washington Avenue, you might think you've landed in Seattle, Portland or San Francisco.
But you'd still be in Madison, in the office of Ronin Studios & Consulting, a startup that designs and develops mobile and web-based learning games, simulations and applications for adult learners.

The Information Technology Academy helps kids get a leg up in the tech world. By Liz Merfeld.
Martin Luther King Jr.'s words greet visitors to Erica Laughlin's office on the third floor of UW-Madison's Computer Sciences Building. Laughlin runs the Information Technology Academy (ITA), a four-year pre-college technology access and training program for "talented students of color and economically disadvantaged students" attending Madison public schools.
It's Wednesday morning at ITA's two-week summer camp. The program's back-to-school kickoff is under way. Thirty incoming high school freshmen, recruited last year in middle school, congregate in the computer lab. Some face their iMac monitors with a focus that belies their young age; others nestle in groups, trading ideas. This is where they will gather every other Saturday for the next four years. Read the entire article.
Ah, the joys of flying. You're a hundred dollars in baggage fees poorer, and you've watched your valuables totter away on the conveyor while a TSA agent eyes your three-ounce duty-free bottle of honey liqueur for possible "confiscation." When at last you fall into your seat, it's at the farthest point between the two bathrooms. If only there were a way to bribe someone in, say, aisle row 5 to switch seat assignments. Wouldn't it be nice to grab back just a speck of control over your flying experience?
Enter SeatSwapr, a work-in-progress mobile app that would let passengers browse their flight for seats up for trade.

Fresh Blood: The Second Coming of Trash the Dress
Just in time for Halloween, Dustin Blake of Atlanta-based indy Productions, a 2010 EventDV 25 honoree, has resurrected the Trash the Dress (TTD) movement with a degree of sexiness hitherto unseen—and this time, he's added an element of the macabre.
Andrew Waite's Higher Definition Media
Waite runs Higher Definition Media (HDM) out of Bakersfield, and just this June launched its wedding-focused spin-off, Lovestruck Films. In addition, he is an indie filmmaker, with 3 self-produced features under his belt, and was one of the first presenters announced for IN[FOCUS] 2012.
The Aussies have scrunched their event video industry's evolution into the blink of an eye, leaving videographers stateside blushing. Sure, event videos in the U.S. have advanced by leaps and bounds, going from totally cheap to totally chic, and morphing into films along the way. And there's no better evidence of the rise of event filmmaking in Australia than the Aussies' innovative educational event, Exposed Down Under. EDU 2011 kicks off on 4 July in Melbourne.

Hyatt Connects with Ignite
The global hospitality chain uses video to communicate with more than 80,000 employees at 340 locations across the globe
By Liz Merfeld
For Hyatt Corp., a hospitality chain with 340 hotels worldwide, communicating with 80,000 employees is no small feat. How to bridge communication among offices thousands of miles apart, from San Francisco to Saudi Arabia, and to bring bandwidth-challenged hotels into the fold was an issue the company attempted to solve by launching a new intranet site in October 2008.
With the new portal, dubbed Hyatt Connect, came the ability to share audio and video content and, as Hyatt executives were pleased to discover, a potentially uber-efficient way to get employee face time—even with staff in remote locales such as Azerbaijan.
There's a wave of unproduced, demolike, one-take music videos sweeping the web. It started way back in April 2006, when Vincent Moon (real name: Mathieu Saura), a young filmmaker from Paris, conspiring with Chyrde, creator of popular French music website La Blogothèque, filmed songs guerrilla-style "to go" (as opposed to shooting in a standard concert setting) and then uploaded them to the website for mass consumption.
If you want your MTV, then move along; this article isn't for you. But stick around if you're intrigued by the prospect of watching or producing genuine homespun, documentary-style short films of roots/Americana musicians performing their songs.
Field Recordings
by Liz Merfeld
With an infectious smile and a joie de vivre you can catch purely by proximity, Meg Simone looks as though she hiked right out of a Trek Travel catalog and into the wedding film industry's inner circle. By expertly combining her love of the northeastern outdoors with her work, she has (perhaps inadvertently) cornered the market on destination weddings in the heart of Mount Washington Valley (N.H.), a resort community filled with restaurants, shops, ski resorts, quaint inns, and historic grand hotels. What's more, in a "why didn't I think of that" move, Simone has become the first videographer to build a brand around elopements, private ceremonies taking place in and around her hometown, picturesque North Conway, N.H.
Case study written for Ignite Technologies, Inc., appearing in E-visions Summer 2010, by yours truly: "Using Technology for Global Communication"
The Challenge
Need to move large volumes of water or oil around the world? That's not a problem for the Flowserve Corporation, global supplier of pumps, valves, seals, and automation to industries such as oil, gas, power, and water. It's the flow of rich company communications to its small-city-size workforce spread out across more than 56 countries that had them scratching their heads.
Headquartered near Dallas, Texas, Flowserve struggled with relaying corporate messages in an engaging and efficient way to its 15,000 employees.
Executives, especially fresh faces like Flowserve's newest CEO Mark Blinn, wanted to establish credibility and build rapport with workers, for starters. But it wasn't as if they could just call an all-hands meeting down at the local Bennigan's…. Read entire article.
Studio Time | Society Hill Studios & CANON FILMMAKERS LIVE
After introducing themselves to the crowd at Re:Frame Austin, Society Hill Studios' Cristina Valdivieso and Jon Connor, along with partner Amy Reese now seem to pop up everywhere with the industry's inner circle. But how did these Young Turks manage to crash this party, seemingly overnight, and set themselves on the road to becoming one of the go-to studios in Philadelphia for couples wanting a high-end, artistic wedding film?
Check it! Apple Pro Training Series: Aperture 3 by Dion Scoppettuolo is now on bookshelves.
I had a wonderful opportunity to write three photographer cameos for the book while discovering even more reasons I want to buy Aperture 3.
Adventures in Fusion, Part 1 by Elizabeth Avery Merfeld
Last fall, Canon shook our world when it released the transformative EOS 5D Mark II, a DSLR featuring full-frame HD video and dynamic depth-of-field control. Along with others of its ilk, the 5D is revving up videographers' creativity, smearing the line between the photography and videography industries, and ushering in (some say) a new era of photo-video fusion. With several months of use under their belts, we asked a handful of early adopters for their take on how the 5D has impacted their businesses and where (if anywhere) their first forays into fusion have taken them.
The good people at Planet Propaganda gave me the opportunity to bid on an SEO and writing job for Madison-based mystery shopping company Beyond Hello. I'm happy to say I got the project. That was at the beginning of the year, and our work is now complete.
I had so much fun writing the copy for their website, in large part because the people I got to work with were some of the friendliest and most genuine people I'll ever have the good fortune to collaborate with. Planet did a phenomenal job on their website. Take a look!
Studio Time: Starcross'd Creative | Wedding Video's Hottest Garage Band
Some artists seek inspiration in long walks, majestic sunsets, or awe-inspiring works of art. Others, like the crew at wedding and event cinematography studio Starcross'd Creative (formerly Starcross'd Films), "get together over some beer and Rock Band."
The Experts' Guide to 100 Things Everyone Should Know How to Do, compiled by Samantha Ettus, is based on the premise that often "the simplest things are the hardest to master." The simplicity of no-brainers such as washing your hair, telling someone a story, or even breathing makes it so these primitive tasks come naturally–but at what price? We are doing them–and ourselves–an injustice, she reasons, by not taking the time to become maestros of mundane activities.
To guide readers in perfecting their handshaking or lipstick-applying skills, she has compiled 100 chapters of golden rules, techniques, and instructions from 100 experts. It was this book–no offense intended-that came to mind when we approached the subject of creating a demo.
Joe Simon Productions: Weddings, Super 8, and the BMX Factor
The mid-1960s saw the advent of revolutionary film format Super 8–nowadays a medium used to conjure up memories of the "old days" our parents keep cocooned in cobwebbed basements and cold attics. In the '70s, boys racing their bikes on dirt tracks kick-started a phenomenon that became known as bicycle motocross, or BMX. And in the '90s, Joe Simon apparently developed a thing for old-school hobbies involving damage, scratches, dirt, and dust.

Meeting the Enterprise Distribution Video Challenge
With a 15,000-strong employee base and offices scattered around the world, commercial real estate services firm Cushman & Wakefield needed a reliable way for senior management to communicate with staff. They chose a content delivery solution from Ignite Technologies, Inc.

October 15, 2008
"There it was! We were on the cover of the upcoming issue of EventDV!!! And the article by Liz Welsh was even cooler! I was going out of my mind… like a rock band member hearing their song on the radio for the first time."
"Liz, Just finished reading the article. It's awesome! You did such a wonderful job. We're so grateful. In the words of Russell Hammond to Rolling Stone reporter William Miller in Almost Famous, thanks for making us 'look cool.' " – Loyd & Hazel Calomay, Red 5 Studios
It's not every day my name or anything I'm associated with is used in the same sentence as the word hot, which is why I'm using this rare event to link to an article I wrote for the March issue of EventDV titled, "Meet the New Doc," which one Video University blog poster described as "HOT" (in all caps no less) and another poster said "should be read and reread several times." I wouldn't recommend that if you're not in the industry or if you're not shopping for a wedding videographer, but if digital videography appeals to you at all as an art, you might give it a once-over. The artists interviewed are clearly what make the article hot–check out the links to their work at the bottom of the article and you'll see what I mean.
"Our website had not done anything in 9 years. We started working with Liz and she generated more in 6 months than we did the previous 9 years. She understands how Google works and is well read on the latest web developments. I highly recommend her talents."

Reengineering Medical Product Innovation
Arthur Kellermann, MD, MPH, an alumnus of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Clinical Scholars and Health Policy Fellows programs, is professor and dean of the F. Edward Hébert School of Medicine, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, Bethesda, MD. He is co-author of the new RAND report, "Redirecting Innovation in U.S. Health Care: Options to Decrease Spending and Increase Value." Here, he shares recommendations for a brave new world of medical technology.
Americans take justifiable pride in our capacity for innovation. From putting the first men on the moon to developing the Internet, we lead the world in developing innovative technologies. Health care is no exception. The United States holds more Nobel prizes in medicine than any other nation.
Novel drugs, biologics, diagnostics, and medical devices have transformed American health care, but not always for the better.
Some innovations have made a big difference. Combination antiretroviral therapy changed HIV infection from a death sentence to a treatable, chronic disease. Before an effective vaccine was developed, Hemophilus Influenze type b, a bacterial disease, was a major cause of death and mental disability in young children. Today, it is virtually eradicated here and in Western Europe.
RWJF Scholars & Fellows Speak: What's a Culture of Health? What Does It Take to Get There?
Linda Wright Moore, MS, is a senior communications officer at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF).
Developing a vision for a national "culture of health" has been central to internal discussions at the Foundation, as we've engaged in a deliberative process of strategic planning for the future.
For the past year since marking our 40th anniversary, we've been asking ourselves where we should set our sights and focus our energies in a rapidly changing world, in order to advance our mission to improve health and health care for all. Consider: the population is aging, becoming more diverse. Technological advances are transforming how we communicate, how we provide health care, and more. "Big data" is making once tedious and time-consuming calculations and analysis routine. Out of our deliberations—a new vision of the way forward has emerged, presented in the 2013 President's Message from Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, MD, MBA: "We, as a nation, will strive together to create a culture of health enabling all in our diverse society to lead healthy lives, now and for generations to come."
To begin to informally road test that vision, we posed a question to RWJF grantees and alumni at an RWJF-sponsored reception at the AcademyHealth meeting in Baltimore last summer. In impromptu interviews, we asked, "What is a culture of health? What does it take to get there?"
Primary Care on the Front Lines of Innovation
Maryjoan Ladden, PhD, RN, FAAN, is a senior program officer at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
During a recent visit to my adopted home state of Massachusetts, I took a fresh look at a primary care practice I had previously known only from afar. I was part of the team visiting Cambridge Health Alliance–Union Square Family Health, which is one of 30 primary care practices recognized as exemplar models for workforce innovation by The Primary Care Team: Learning From Effective Ambulatory Practices (LEAP) project. This project, a new initiative of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the MacColl Center at Group Health Research Institute, is studying these 30 practice sites to identify new strategies in workforce development and interprofessional collaboration. The overarching goal of LEAP is to better understand the innovative models that make primary care more efficient, effective, and satisfying to both patients and providers, and ultimately lead to improved patient outcomes.
This site visit took me back to my time as a nurse practitioner at Boston Medical Center, Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates, and Boston's school-based health centers. This is where my passion for primary care began. As we prepare for millions more Americans to enter the health care system in the coming year, we must identify ways to expand access to primary care, improve the quality of care, and control costs. One important way is by exploring how to optimize the varied and expansive skill sets of all members of the primary care team. This idea has been examined in medical and popular media, but there has been little study of the workforce innovations employed by primary care practices to meet the increasing demands for health care.
Happy National Nurses Week!
Susan B. Hassmiller, PhD, RN, FAAN, is senior adviser for nursing at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and director of the Future of Nursing: Campaign for Action.
National Nurses Week begins today, May 6, and runs through Sunday, May 12, which is Florence Nightingale's birthday. The theme for the week this year is: delivering quality and innovation in patient care.
It's a wonderful theme, because nurses do even more than deliver high-quality patient care. Nurses conduct groundbreaking science and discovery, develop innovations that improve the quality of care, provide primary care, help patients and their families avoid and manage illness, teach at community colleges and universities, shape public policies, serve in the military, help when there are disasters, run large health organizations, and much more.
Since it opened its doors 40 years ago, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has recognized that, which is why it has invested more than $580 million in nursing over the last four decades. That investment continues today, with support to our programs that prepare the next generation of nurse faculty, support nurse research, promote nursing leaders, and more.
The Institute of Medicine, too, recognized nurses' many contributions to improving health care in this country in its groundbreaking 2010 report. That is why the report called for a more highly educated nursing workforce, more support for nurse-led research, and more nurses in leadership roles of all kinds, from the front lines to the board room. The Future of Nursing: Campaign for Action is working to implement those and other recommendations from that report.
This week on this blog, you will be able to learn more about it and read about some of the innovative work that nurses around the country are doing. This is one of my favorite weeks of the year, because it provides us an opportunity to really showcase nurses' work. Enjoy!

Study: Bisexual Men Not Aroused by Both Sexes
Aug. 30, 2005 - Bisexual men aren't fully bisexual, a controversial study suggests.
In the study, bisexual men reported being sexually aroused by erotic videos of both men and women. But a device attached to their genitals told another story.
Gerulf Rieger, a PhD candidate at Northwestern University, conducted the study with psychology professor J. Michael Bailey, PhD.
"We used measures of sexual arousal to explain true sexual feeling," Rieger tells WebMD. "In men, there is no good evidence that something like a true bisexual attraction is out there."
That conclusion doesn't fit with the experience of San Francisco psychologist Geri Weitzman, PhD, who runs a web site listing bisexual-friendly professional services.
"I have seen in my practice very, very, very many men who are bisexual," Weitzman tells WebMD. "Really, there are so many bisexual men out there. There are so many men who say -- and demonstrate -- that they love men and love women and are happy with it."
Rieger and Bailey are looking in the wrong place for men's sexual identities, says Sheeri Kritzer, a Bisexual Resource Center board member. Identity, she says, comes from above the ears, not below the belt.
"The whole point of sexual identity is it is a validation of who you are," Kritzer tells WebMD. "This study perpetuates the idea that men are studs, that they go with whatever turns them on. It goes on the old stereotype that men think with their [penises]."
Sexologist Paula Rodriguez Rust, PhD, is the editor of the 1999 book Bisexuality in the United States. She says a person's sexual orientation is not determined merely by genital arousal.
"Sexual response is not everything we think of when we think of sexual orientation," Rodriguez Rust tells WebMD. "Bisexuality clearly exists."
Women From Venus and Mars, Men From Venus or Mars
Bailey's sexuality research tends to draw fire. His 2003 book on male-to-female transsexuals, The Man Who Would Be Queen, is still under attack from some in the transgendered community.
Last year, Bailey, Rieger, and others published a study in which they measured female sexual arousal. They concluded that women - whether they identify themselves as homosexual or heterosexual - have bisexual arousal patterns. That's because the genitals of women participating in the study became aroused when they watched porn, regardless of whether it featured men or women.
Men, they say, are different. The current study, reported in the current issue of Psychological Science, enrolled 30 heterosexual men, 33 bisexual men, and 38 homosexual men. Nine of the heterosexual men, 11 of the bisexual men, and 13 of the homosexual men did not become genitally aroused by the videos and were dropped from the final analysis.
The men viewed an 11-minute nonsexual film, followed by several two-minute sexual films and another neutral film. The sex films depicted either men having sex with men or women having sex with women.

'The Dark Knight Rises' Third And Final Trailer [Video]
'The Dark Knight Rises' won't be in theaters until July 20th, but if the trailer is any indication, Batman fans everywhere are ready right now.
'The Dark Knight Rises' won't be in theaters until July 20th, but if the trailer is any indication, Batman fans everywhere are ready right now.
Ice-T has put in a lot of work so far on his new documentary 'Something To Nothing: The Art Of Rap', and with Eminem, Kanye West and Snoop Dogg joining the scene, he has added some star power.
Jason Statham is coming out with another action movie called Safe. The movie revolves around Statham protecting a little girl that looks really close to the little girl from 'The Grudge' from bad guys.
Now this is a new role for Statham, this really shows his flexibility as an actor. Obviously that was a lie. Jason Statham will be the same character in every movie he's in. I don't care what it is...
Seth MacFarlane, Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis star in the first trailer for 'Ted', which until now I thought was a joke.
This looks like it's a real movie though, and it looks hilarious!
Johnny Depp drops his hate into the vampire ring and comes out swinging with his new movie Dark Shadows.
2 seconds into the video and you realize that Johnny has teamed up with his old friend Tim Burton to drop this movie. And if you've been living under a rock, every time Tim Burton makes a movie it's almost guaranteed to have Johnny Depp as the lead. Even with his animated movies.
The third installment of the 'Men In Black' franchise is set to hit theaters this summer, and judging from the trailer, it looks pretty good.
The staples of the movie are back in place as Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones team up to solve another galactic mystery.
Apparently 'Abe Lincoln: Vampire Hunter' is a real movie with a real trailer!
Don't lie, when you first heard about this you thought it was a straight to Sci-Fi channel movie that would air at 2am.
Well you're in for a treat! The movie has a trailer and an actual release date.
A new Bourne movie is on it's way with a new leading man.
Based on the idea that there was never just one super duper agent but two! Maybe more!
With Matt Damon out of the picture can the new leading man Jeremy Renner carry the torch?
The latest installment in the Spiderman franchise now has an official trailer, and it looks dope.
'The Amazing Spiderman' has an all new cast and follows the comic story of 'The Ultimate Spiderman'.
Denzel Washington plays a fugitive while rookie agent Ryan Reynolds is your typical CIA baby sitter. Stuck with a high profile target Ryan Reynolds better show his ass in this movie.
Because Green Lantern sucked.
Some cartoons were meant for the big screen, but 'Rugrats' was not one of them.
Chuckie, Angelica, Tommy and the rest of the crew are guaranteed to ruin your childhood with this movie.

Monster Play
Please note that there is NO late seating for this production
Lock your doors, bar the windows and build up the fire as CPT and Theater Ninjas unleash an evening of hideous, inhuman monsters for your enjoyment. This original and unnatural co-production celebrates the nightmare creatures that haunt our dreams and stare out from our mirrors.
Featuring a collection of monsters both super natural and human, Monster Play intertwines the stories of St. Anthony the Great, a reclusive monk tempted by demons, and a mythological hero who uses monsters to discover his own humanity. Famous monsters make cameos throughout, alternating between apologizing for and defending their own horrific natures. The play not only digs into the philosophical, political and pop slime that monsters ooze, but also taps into the monstrous energies: the implulses in people that can be described as monstrous. Inspiration is drawn from a variety of sources including classic and contemporary horror films, Russian folklore, Beowulf, The Faerie Queene, scripture, ghost stories, urban legends and, of course, the Bogeyman.
"It will thrill you. It may shock you. It might even horrify you. You've been warned."
World Premiere/Devised Work/Northeast Ohio Creator
Co-produced with Theater Ninjas
Conceived & Directed by Jeremy Paul
October 13 - October 29 2011
Storefront Studio
October 2011
Tickets are $10 - $25
Tickets may be purchased online, by calling (216) 631-2727 extension 501, or in person at our box office.
"Monster Play is a delightful carnival ride through every imaginable childhood nightmare and pop-culture scare delivered in the last hundred or so years, from Bram Stoker's thirsty count to Wes Craven's favorite razor-fingered sex offender."
Andrea Simakis, Plain Dealer

Country and the people
The Czech Republic is situated approximately in the geographical center of Europe and has an area of 78,866 sq. km. It is a landlocked country 326 km from the Baltic and 322 km from the Adriatic. It shares borders with Germany (810 km), Poland (762 km), Austria (466 km) and Slovakia (265 km). The highest point of elevation is the peak of Mt. Snezka (1,603 m above sea level) and the lowest point of elevation is near Hřensko where the River Labe leaves Czech territory (117 m above sea level).
The divide between the two principal mountain systems in Europe - the Hercynian and Alpine-Himalayan - runs through Czech territory. The country's topography is therefore quite varied: plains (4.5% of the country), hills (50.1%) highlands (33.9%) and mountains (11,6%). Altitude levels: lowland regions under 200 m above sea level make up 4.95% of the country, regions 200 - 500 m above sea level make up 74.1%, regions 600 - 1,000m above sea level 19.3% and regions over 1,000 m above sea level 1.6%.
The Czech Republic lies in the temperate climate zone of Europe, which makes for pleasantly mild summers and winters with only moderate amounts of precipitation.
According to a 2001 census, the Czech Republic has a population of 10.23 million people, approx. 4.9 million males and 5.2 million females. Three quarters of the population live in urban areas. The population density is 131 inhabitants per sq. km, while the total growth in population in the Czech Republic is 0.8 persons per 1,000 inhabitants.
The majority of the Czech Republic's inhabitants are of Czech nationality. The situation in individual regions differs however, according to whether these regions are considered Czech or Moravian. The only region where people claim Moravian nationality is in southern areas of Moravia.
After forty years of official suppression, a question concerning religious faith was again included in the census in 2000. The results show that more than 50% of the population describe themselves as agnostic or atheist; in Northern Bohemia this group makes up some three quarters of the population.
The degree of education completion at elementary, secondary and university levels is very high in the Czech Republic compared to world standards. All children in the Czech Republic must attend elementary school up to the age of 15. Upon finishing elementary school, 52% of children continue their education in vocational schools and 48% move on to secondary schools. 7.2% of Czechs complete a university education.

Zergnet: Simply Irresistible

I have no idea what is going on in this photo, I just know I like it. I like it a lot. Happy Monday, y'all!
"For a lot of comics, there's a persona they're not comfortable revealing unless they're performing. Kristen is incredibly shy; she has her hoodie pulled up and her sleeves pulled over her hands. But this is a woman who wore coconuts on her tits on SNL; she can go to the craziest, most grotesque places on the planet in character."
– Normally I would roll my eyes at the random absurdity of a magazine like GQ naming Kristin Wiig their "Bro of the Year" alongside a photograph of the comedian in lingerie, but Jon Hamm wrote the magazine's dedication and I am on Team Hamm Can Do No Wrong. Mind you, I'm not entirely sure what a "Bro of the Year" is, but it seems Wiig is being honored by the mag for "Bridesmaids," a movie which — shocker! — many men found equally as funny as women. Which is awesome considering the whole "men are funnier than women" thing was getting rather tiresome. Keep reading »
Jon Hamm has nabbed himself four Emmys playing the now-iconic role of Don Draper on "Mad Men." But apparently, he was not producers first choice for the role. And he actually knows who the makers of the show originally had in mind for the starring role—Thomas Jane of "Hung." "Nobody knew who I was. The casting directors didn't know who I was. I wasn't on anybody's lists," Jon explained on comedian Marc Maron's podcast this week. "The funny thing was, I think they went to Thomas Jane for it, and they were told that Thomas Jane does not do television." Hee hee. [Huffington Post]
In Hollywood, this happens all the time—big actors often turn down parts that then make a newcomer a bonafide star. Did you know that Michelle Pfeiffer was the original choice for "Pretty Woman?" Or that Kellan Lutz was turned down audition for Edward Cullen in "Twilight"? Many more examples after the jump.
"It is an important thing to instill in a younger generation about the impact of rape, the lasting impact of rape. Children from grade school to high school to college are incredibly susceptible and incredibly malleable, as we all know. To get them early, to teach them about the facts and figures and other realities of rape is key. It is an important issue to me as not only a man, but as an educator, as a human being and as a person on this planet."
— Jon Hamm melts my heart a little more (proving such a thing is possible). Seriously, is this man for real?! All that handsome, all that talent, and he's a feminist? Jon spoke yesterday at a benefit brunch for the Rape Treatment Center in Beverly Hills, where he emphasized imparting good values on children while they are young. He's 100 percent correct here and I'm psyched there's such a prominent celebrity who gets it.
After the jump, Jon Hamm also opened up about the lack of male role models in his life and how it impacted him: Keep reading »
Jon Hamm was spotted filming scenes from the upcoming — sigh, next year — of "Mad Men" in LA this week. I am really digging that super skinny tie. Also, there hasn't been a lean this sexy since Jordan Catalano. (If you don't get this reference, I order you to Netflix "My So-Called Life" immediately!) [Huffington Post] Keep reading »
I don't know why this GIF is cracking me up so much, but I wish Jon Hamm really did pose for the cameras like this. Nice hip action. Keep reading »

Moms: Develop Wise Financial Strategies for Your Family
- Friday, June 22, 2007
Organize financial paperwork. Organize your bills, receipts, bank statements, and other financial documents in a way that allows for easy access at any time.
Establish a budget. Discover how you've been spending your money by tracking your expenses for the past year, noting what you spent in each expense category (regular monthly expenses, plus less frequent expenses such as home insurance, vacations, or Christmas gifts). Then compare that with how much you earned in the same period of time. Pay special attention to how you spent discretionary income (not fixed expenses, but optional expenditures for clothing, food, entertainment, etc.). Understand that the money you spend on discretionary items – even if it's just a few dollars a day – can make a big impact on your budget. Think and pray about what you're willing to give up (perhaps Starbucks coffee each morning, or new clothes every month) to reduce your discretionary spending.
Set spending limits for each category in your budget. Keep in mind these general guidelines: 30 to 40 percent of your take-home pay for housing costs (including taxes, insurance, and utilities), 10 to 20 percent for food, 10 to 15 percent for car and other debt payments, 15 to 20 percent for varying expenses (like clothing, entertainment, and home repairs), and five to 10 percent for savings. Use financial software to help you develop and maintain your budget records. Every month, check to see how your actual spending compares to each category on your budget, and make the necessary adjustments to get your spending under control.
Choose a bank or credit union wisely. Visit several convenient bank or credit union locations, and pick up brochures from each one that outline each institution's services and fees. Compare them. Look for the best deal for your family's unique needs. Make sure your institution is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
After you select a place, minimize the fees you're charged by understanding the rules of your account (such as a minimum balance requirement) and not violating them and developing a positive relationship with your bank (get to know people who work there, don't excessively overdraw your accounts, don't make late payments, etc.).
Prepare well before asking for a loan. Go into a meeting with a loan officer with some idea of the monthly payments you can afford (usually, fixed obligations – including the loan you're requesting, your rent or mortgage, car payments, credit card payments, etc. – should not exceed 40 percent of your gross income). Be prepared to answer these questions: "What do you want the money for?", "How long do you want to take to pay the loan back?", and "Where do you plan on getting the money to pay it back?".
Save all you can. Build a nest egg for the future that will help you with both short-term needs (such as an emergency fund of three to eight times your monthly salary to cover an unexpected job loss, medical bills, car repairs, etc.) and long-term needs (such as your children's college costs and your own retirement income requirements). Spend less than you earn. As soon as you receive each paycheck, deduct a certain amount and immediately put it into a savings account. Then discipline yourself to make do with what's left.
Invest wisely. Understand that every financial investment involves risk, and that, in general, the higher the risk, the more you should expect to earn. Educate yourself about investments such as savings accounts, stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. Diversify by putting your money into a variety of different kinds of investments to spread out the risks while earning the most you can. Keep in mind that the mix of assets you choose should be based on the amount of time before you'll want to use the money and how much risk you are willing to take. Periodically review your investments to see if they are performing as expected.
