She's cute and adorable, but a six-week-old kitten in England can't find anyone to take her in because she bears a striking resemblance to Adolf Hitler.
According to the staff at a British animal shelter, no one will adopt this black-and-white cat because of a black mark under its nose.
No One Wants To Adopt Kitler
'Kitler' — as the six-week-old cat is known — has been passed over by prospective owners and the animal shelter officials in Godmanchester, Cambridgeshire, think it's because she has a patch of black fur underneath her nose that looks like the notorious dictator's distinctive mustache.
As first reported in The Daily Telegraph, the kitten, who was found severely malnourished by a roadside has been nicknamed "Kitler." Spokeswoman Tara Dundon from Wood Green animal shelter said: "Kitler is an adorable little girl who will make a wonderful addition to the right family. She is really playful and a typical sweet kitten."
You can see a photo of Kitler here.
Cats That Look Like Hitler
While reading about this story, I came across a website entitled, Cats That Look Like Hitler. I was astonished to discover that finding likenesses of Hitler has become a semi-popular pastime for people with a dark sense of humor.
The website offers guidelines for determining if a cat qualifies as feline Hitler:
Does your cat look like Adolf Hitler? Do you wake up in a cold sweat every night wondering if he's going to up and invade Poland? Does he keep putting his right paw in the air while making a noise that sounds suspiciously like "Sieg Miaow"? If so, this is the website for you.
Meanwhile, if you are still intrigued by this topic, check out this video of Kitlers. And let's hope that with all the publicity she's getting, this cute kitty will find a home.

Does NOT look like Hitler - looks cute!
What an odd thing to think of a kitten...
Oops - 'She', found a home.
Hope he found a home,Thank you for article.
Hope he found a home,Thank you for article.
I also had a "Hitler" look-a-like, but we named him Groucho! I wish she were closer, I`d take her in a second!
Totally UNFAIR!
Uhm... she doesn't look anything like Hitler. I think that some people might have an over-active imagination.
Stupid question! Voted YES.
I like Charlene Chaplin - that's a good one!
Well first of all, how about giving the kitten a cute name like spot or smudgy? Kitler, come on! It's a kitten people, get real. Too bad I live in Costa Rica, I'd take the baby in a heartbeat

Bill Broadly Outlaws Health Insurance Discrimination; Recognizes Importance of Mental Health to Overall Health
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 3 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Mental Health America today hailed as "a great civil rights victory" the approval of a mental health parity legislation that will broadly outlaw health insurance discrimination against Americans with mental health and substance-use conditions in employer-sponsored health plans.
The legislation, which recognizes the importance of mental health to overall health, bans employers and insurers from imposing stricter limits on coverage for mental health and substance-use conditions than those set for other health problems. It will provide parity for 82 million Americans covered by self-insured plans and another 31 million in plans that are subject to state regulation.
It is estimated that roughly 67 percent of adults and 80 percent of children requiring mental health services do not receive help, in large part because of discriminatory insurance practices
Mental Health America, which has worked for years to pass mental health parity, applauded Senators Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) and Pete Domenici (R-N.M.) and Representatives Patrick Kennedy (D-R.I.) and Jim Ramstad (R-Minn.), as well as Senate and House leadership key committee chairmen for championing the legislation and their long-standing commitment to ending this civil rights inequity. This victory also owes much to tireless champions such as Rosalyn Carter, David Wellstone and tens of thousands of Americans who have pressed for this historic reform.
"This is a historic day and a great civil rights victory for millions
of Americans who have been unable to access mental health treatment," said
David Shern, Ph.D., president and CEO of Mental Health America. "With
approval of this bill, we will tear down the walls of stigma and
discrimination and open the doors to the power and promise of treatment and
recovery. It rec

"Bright Bots a great fit for my skinny madam…"
DD is 2 and I've been struggling to find her pants as she is so slim/small, .4th centile and so is just in 12-18 months clothes. The elastic on the waist of these means they fit well without being to restrictive or loose. A good range of sizes too. The colours are bright and appealing.
They wash well and dry quickly. The fact that they hold a little wee or poo means it's easy for her to know when she's wet.
At first I was a little dubious about the fit so 'borrowed' a pair off a friend, well as soon as they were on and fitted well, then the feel when wet made me make the investment.Read moreLess

For a long time - a couple years - my only 35mm camera and lens was a Nikon F with a 55mm f/3.5 Micro-Nikkor.
Printable View
For a long time - a couple years - my only 35mm camera and lens was a Nikon F with a 55mm f/3.5 Micro-Nikkor.
I use my 50mm f3.5 Macro Zuiko as standard. Infinity to 1/2 life size can't be bad for versatility and it would take a camera club enthusiast know-all to argue that there is any significant reduction in image quality.
It depends on the Macro lens. My Tokina 90mm f/2.5 is very nice at all focal lengths. The 120mm f/5.6 Nikkor-AM, on the other hand has a very small image circle for a large format lens. At infinity, it doesn't even cover 4x5".
I can't speak to your Zuiko, sorry.
I have never had problems using a 50 f/2 Zuiko macro as a normal lens. Sometimes its dual purpose gave it a spot in the lineup of the few lenses I could bring backpacking. Other times it lost its place because it was "relatively" heavy.
I pack a Zeiss 50mm f/2 macro with my EOS 3.
I have never heard of that lens, 35mm is a very short focal length for a macro lens. I know they made a 35mm shift lens and a 50mm macro.Quote:
I just got a Zuiko 35mm/3.5 macro
Anyway, I have made good images at infinity with both my Makro-Planar 60mm and Yashica ML 55mm Macro.
I do know that a number of 35mm/2.8 lenses were modified for close focussing, rather than macro for use by UK Government departments in the mid 70's, this was before Olympus dropped the name Zuiko from the lens front. I think principally they were used by the Customs, but for what purpose I have absolutely no idea.
I only know about them when a dealer specialising in used photo equipment bought a 'job lot' at an auction. You may have got hold of one of these.
Ma canon EF 100 Macro (Non-L) is my longest lens and I use it for both macro and portraiture etc. The only macro lens in the canon lineup that wouldn't be suitable for standard photophapby would be the 5x manual focus macro lens, but that's a specialty item anyway.
They do work fine near infinity but tend (to make an overgeneralisation) to be overcorrected for spherical aberration at long focusing distances, which means that nisen-bokeh (rings and line-doubling outside the DOF) is common at lower (0.1x) magnifications. A floating-element lens will be better in that respect.
Edit: holy thread-revival, batman! I only noticed when I went back to page 1 and saw a reply from QG - a name not seen around here in a long time.
Macro lenses is basically focused on pixels of camera. The lenses 50 mm to 35mm is sufficient for normal photography.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Tribology of Miniature Systems
- Z. Rymuza
The tribology of miniature systems is quite different from the tribology of large machinery. This is the first publication to cover on an academic level both the basic concepts of the tribology of miniature systems and some areas of its practical application. A comprehensive survey is given on the specific problems encountered in this field, providing a volume that will be useful in solving professional engineering problems in the fast growing field of precision engineering and microtechnology.The suitability of various materials and lubricants for the tribological systems in miniature mechanisms is discussed. The tribological properties and the friction and wear properties which occur in such systems are analysed. Specific lubrication problems are examined in detail; in particular, the use of special tribological coatings to solve many difficult lubrication problems and to obtain high wear resistance of the rubbing elements is considered. The special investigation techniques used to characterize miniature tribological systems and their elements (e.g. lubricants) are reviewed. The tribological aspects of many of the most common assemblies found in miniature mechanism and electromechanism design are analysed and some practical suggestions are put forward for the rational design of such systems. Also special tribological problems such as those met in computer technology, bioengineering, etc. are presented. The book is intended for tribologists (both seasoned researchers and newcomers) studying the problems of this specific branch of tribology and also for practising engineers active in the design, manufacture and exploitation of various miniature systems.View full description

About the Book
Vicious is the explosive conclusion to Sara Shepard's #1 New York Times bestselling Pretty Little Liars series, perfect for fans of the hit ABC Family original TV show based on the series.
High school seniors Aria, Emily, Hanna, and Spencer have been through a lot since their best friend, Alison DiLaurentis, disappeared five summers ago. A stalker named "A" has harassed them for their past mistakes and revealed their darkest secrets to the world. They've been on TV, hounded by the press, kicked out of school, arrested, and even put in jail. With time running out, and their lives on the line, one of the Liars does something so terrifying and shocking, fans will be left breathless.
Sara Shepard's fan base continues to grow as ABC Family's hit Pretty Little Liars TV show draws in new readers to the #1 New York Times bestselling series. Full of unexpected twists and shocking revelations, this long-awaited finale to this much-loved series will not disappoint.
In Rosewood, Pennsylvania, reporters are lined up outside the historic courthouse, typing furiously at their iPhones with freshly manicured nails. Because the trial of the century is happening right here in Rosewood: the four pretty little liars have been accused of killing Alison DiLaurentis. Only Aria, Spencer, Hanna, and Emily know that they've been framed. Ali is still out there, laughing as she watches the girls go down for her murder. But when your nickname includes the word "liar," no one believes you're telling the truth. . . .
Aria tries to run away from it all but finds that life on the lam is even harder than life as a liar. Spencer gets in touch with someone who can help her disappear—but when a guy from her past reemerges, Spencer no longer knows what she wants. Hanna decides that she'll hear wedding bells chime before she serves time. And in the face of prison, Emily does something truly drastic—something that will change her friends' lives forever.
As the trial goes on and the outcome looks grim, the girls are in their darkest hour yet. But maybe they can finally figure out how to beat Ali at her own game. Because once upon a time, she was just a pretty little liar too.

I had never heard about this until now. Fox was found guilty of knowingly distorting the news. But it was reversed on appeal, because "the Federal Communications Commission position against news distortion is only a policy, not a promulgated law, rule, or regulation." That fact that they knowingly distorted the news was never disputed.<quoted text>Looks like you never read the case you speak so highly of.
And how did NBC and ABC get by with lies they have told?
Do you have an example of either NBC or ABC being taken to court on similar charges?
"On August 18, 2000, a six-person jury was unanimous in its conclusion that Akre was indeed fired for threatening to report the station's pressure to broadcast what jurors decided was "a false, distorted, or slanted" story about the widespread use of growth hormone in dairy cows.
The court did not dispute the heart of Akre's claim, that Fox pressured her to broadcast a false story to protect the broadcaster from having to defend the truth in court, as well as suffer the ire of irate advertisers. Fox argued from the first, and failed on three separate occasions, in front of three different judges, to have the case tossed out on the grounds there is no hard, fast, and written rule against deliberate distortion of the news.
The attorneys for Fox, owned by media baron Rupert Murdoch, argued the First Amendment gives broadcasters the right to lie or deliberately distort news reports on the public airwaves.
In its six-page written decision, the Court of Appeals held that the Federal Communications Commission position against news distortion is only a "policy," not a promulgated law, rule, or regulation. Fox aired a report after the ruling saying it was "totally vindicated" by the verdict."

Questionable $110M State Deals Bypassed Reviews (page 7827)
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — State officials say $110 million in no-bid health contracts that are now the focus of a criminal investigation bypassed two routine oversight boards for deals of that size.
The Austin American-Statesman reported Tuesday that the lucrative contracts with Austin-based 21CT skipped those reviews while avoiding a bidding process. The tech company was hired to help the Texas Health and Human Services Commission root out Medicaid fraud.
A spokeswoman for the state comptroller says it's unclear whether the bypassed reviews violated state law.
Two high-ranking state health officials resigned this month as scrutiny over the contracts intensified. Three others were sent home on paid administrative leave.
Public corruption prosecutors in Austin are preparing to open a case. Health Commissioner Kyle Janek has said he doesn't believe anyone acted illegally.

ABI predicts massive shift in automotive navigation platforms
According to ABI Research's report "Location System and Platforms Forecasts, Global", much of this growth is in the perpetually commoditizing smartphone application market, reaching over 395 million downloads by 2016. However, there will continue to be a place for high-quality navigation services and features, particularly as car OEMS begin to support connected services, enabling applications to leverage information about the car and the driver.
The other major trend is toward factory-installed navigation solutions. Factory-installed navigation solutions are set to overtake PND shipments by 2015, reaching 25 million units, illustrating the importance of this market. Both PND vendors Garmin and TomTom have announced a series of design wins for line-fitted and semi-integrated navigation solutions. These are particularly suited to the mass market, mid-tier ranges, where the low cost offered by these solutions will be a big differentiator.
With the connected car and in-car telematics markets forecast to become a significant revenue generator over the next five years, it is vital for companies to use navigation as a platform on which to offer additional services. Although the total connected car market is multi-faceted, covering mandates, infotainment, cost saving applications, etc., PND companies should look to support a variety of these services in a low cost way, much like they did with navigation.

In 2267 the Earth is quarantined, having been infected with a deadly plague by an attacking alien force. Scientists estimate that it will kill every inhabitant within 5 years, not nearly enough time for a cure to be developed. So the planet's only hope lies with the Excalibur, an advanced prototype starship sent out to search ancient alien ruins for their former inhabitant's secrets, hoping that somewhere out there a cure can be found.
The first and only spin-off of Babylon 5, J. Michael Straczynski's short-lived sci-fi series Crusade had its roots in the B5 television movie A Call to Arms, in which Earth was battling a Drakh invasion at the end of the Shadow Wars. When Crusade begins, the Drakh have released a deadly virus that threatens to wipe out all 10 billion humans living on Earth unless a cure can be found in five years. To take on this monumental task, Captain Matthew Gideon (Gary Cole) is assigned command of the state-of-the-art Destroyer-class ship Excalibur. His crew includes telepath John Matheson (Daniel Dae Kim); pompous but brilliant archaeologist-linguist Max Eilerson (David Allen Brooks); Dureena, a member of the Thieves' Guild and the last surviving member of her species (Carrie Dobro); medical officer Sarah Chambers (Marjean Holden); and technomage Galen (Peter Woodward).
While Babylon 5 had five years to develop into a powerful saga, Crusade had its plug pulled after a mere 13 episodes (which were reordered for TNT's broadcast), and the series never really got its footing. Galen often took center stage, then disappeared for several episodes. Matheson was underutilized (other than to provide fans with clues about what happened in the Psi-Wars after B5 ended), and tough-guy Gideon bounced back and forth between his desire to save the human race and his own moral code. There were some good action scenes and intriguing concepts (developed in conjunction with the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory). Special effects sometimes were impressive and sometimes showed budget constraints, and we never really saw the power and scope of the mile-and-a-half-long ship, other than the cool bullet cars used to traverse its length. But it did have its moments. If B5 was the spiritual companion to Star Trek: Deep Space Nine with its space-station setting and long story arc, Crusade was more like a traditional Star Trek setting, with mostly stand-alone episodes involving first contact with various species (even if, due to the nature of the Excalibur's quest, such species were usually extinct). And there were occasional tantalizing hints of a broader conspiracy that might have allowed the series to soar. Regardless, B5 fans will welcome even a brief opportunity to revisit this universe, especially when the Excalibur visits the station in "The Rules of the Game." John Sheridan's ex-wife Captain Elizabeth Lochley (Tracy Scoggins) even earned a spot in the opening credits for her appearance in a few episodes. --David Horiuchi

AHMEDABAD: The metropolitan court, which hears on the SIT's closure report on Zakia Jafri's complaint, has kept October 30 to decide whether it should wait for the clarification Jafri has sought from the Supreme Court (SC) about scope of investigation on her compliant and defer its order on filing of protest petition till then.
Metropolitan magistrate B J Ganatra has asked Zakia, widow of former Congress MP Ehsan Jafri, to file protest petition, if she wishes to, against the clean chit given to chief minister Narendra Modi and others in connection with the 2002 riots. Her counsel S M Vora has been seeking more time to study the 25,000-page closure report, but the SIT has objected to this proposal.
Amidst arguments that SIT does not have any right to interfere between court and complainant, Zakia raised objection to one of court's interpretations that the investigation pertains to the Gulbarg Society massacre case. She claims that her complaint and SC's direction for probe were in connection with larger conspiracy that was behind the post-Godhra riots.
Advocate Vora on Thursday submitted before the court that it should wait for the clarification from the apex court, for the lower court may not overlook any clarification in this regard while proceeding ahead on closure report. Magistrate Ganatra has kept his decision on this issue pending till October 30. The court kept the issue on this day, for the complainant contended that the vacation in the apex court ends on October 29.
Meanwhile, the complainant placed a letter showing that Zakia has filed the petition for clarification from the SC about the scope of SIT's probe. She has also sought clarification on whether the SIT was liable to place relevant documents or entire material before the magisterial court. This is because Zakia claims that she has been denied the copy of SIT member A K Malhotra's interim report, in which the cop's opinion was different from the SIT's conclusion.

OSU football notebook: OSU recruit leads team to Texas state finals
One of the top candidates for that spot is Tyrik Rollison of Sulphur Springs, Texas. The 6-foot-2, 185-pound Rollison completed 20 of 27 passes for 257 yards and four touchdowns Friday night in a 47-34 victory over Everman in the Texas Class 4A Division II semifinals. Rollison also rushed 14 times for 79 yards and two TDs. The main hold-up in Rollison's recruiting has been his academics. He has yet to record a qualifying test score.
GRADUATION DAYFive players received their degrees at OSU's graduation ceremony Saturday at Gallagher-Iba Arena. Four seniors, offensive lineman David Washington, safety Ricky Price, receiver Todd Nelson and punter Matt Fodge, graduated Friday, along with junior offensive lineman Andrew Lewis, who will begin work on a master's degree in the spring.
KEEPING THINGS FUNJunior linebacker Andre Sexton says the early bowl practices have been serious and laid-back at the same time. "Everybody's flying around and having fun out there," Sexton said.

I just posted a new post a while ago. I realized afterwards that it was posted under GMT+1 (instead of GMT+2 because of DST) and manually fixed the time on the post. That turned it into a scheduled post though. I then changed the time zone on my blog to GMT+2, however the post has still not been posted, and I cannot edit it to change the status to "published" despite having changed the time zone to the correct one.
Is this a bug? I assume the post will be posted in a few minutes (it is scheduled for in 5 minutes minus one hour), regardless, I am wondering why it is not possible to change the post status even though the "scheduled" time has already passed.
[I am thinking I may have gone about this in the wrong order and it would have been better to have changed the time zone first and then the time on the post, but regardless, this should not happen, I think.]
I do realize this is an issue that is not very major, nor is it going to affect many people, but I was curious about it, as I am not sure if it is intended or not.
Thanks for your help.

"The Ultimate Movie Review!"
"Hanna Is Easily The Best Spy Thriller Thats Narrative Follows A 15 Year Old Girl."
"She Just Missed My Heart."
"Bourne Identity But With A Girl"
"Ham-fisted And Messy Execution Ruins A Great Idea."
"Joe Wrights Experience Has Paid Off Well, What With Well Orchestrated And Tightly Shot Action Scenes And Tense Gripping Often Traumatic Scenes That Are Splendid And Wholesome Fresh, New Invigorating Film Making."
"An Action/thriller Meets A Dark Fairytale."
"It's Like Jason Bourne And Evelyn Salt Had A Baby"
"While The Sum Of Its Parts Do Not Add Up, Saoirse Ronan Shines Brightly In This Film."
"Saoirse Ronan Is Stunning In Joe Wright's Pulsating Chase-thriller."
While the sum of its parts do not add up, Saoirse Ronan shines brightly in this film.
Julian Roman - MovieWeb
A picture-book story about complicated daddies, wicked stepmothers, and daughters who learn to be brave in the dark woods.
Lisa Schwarzbaum - Entertainment Weekly
In the end there might not be much to this tale other than titillation, but there's plenty to be said for Ms. Ronan, who was the best thing about "Atonement" and holds her ground against forceful screen presences like Ms. Blanchett and Mr. Bana.
Manohla Dargis - New York Times
The body count is phenomenal and the overall effect polished, weightless and unmemorable.
Philip French - Guardian [UK]
After a strongish start, the film doesn't so much sag as utterly collapse - each audience member will feel like someone who has flung himself into a hammock that isn't tied at either end.
Peter Bradshaw - Guardian [UK]
Too concerned with looking adult than being mature, and that's a death sentence for an action wannabe.
Scott Bowles - USA Today
Is it a great movie? No. Nagging questions and plot holes start appearing the minute the endorphins and adrenaline wear off. But it isn't a bad one, either.
Michael O'Sullivan - Washington Post
There is not a single moment in the new film that is not striking or smartly put together or just plain considered. Wright leaves nothing to chance. I don't know that there's a better way to smother a movie.
Ty Burr - Boston Globe
Despite its 21st-century trappings and proto-feminist protagonist, Hanna strangely reverts to reactionary politics as usual.
Eric Hynes - Village Voice
The forced coming-of-age parable that filmmaker Joe Wright laces with fairy-tale symbolism is heavy-handed from the get-go.
Joe Neumaier - New York Daily News
"Hanna" is, on a certain level, ridiculous. But the way Mr. Wright conjures his images and parcels out his narrative is hypnotic and so seductive that wherever the film is heading we want to follow.
John Anderson - Wall Street Journal
A chase-thriller for the art-house crowd, Hanna is brisk, satisfying and often surprising.
Gary Dowell - Dallas Morning News
"Hanna" plays out as a visceral fairy tale about a naif discovering a world both fascinating and dangerous.
Lisa Kennedy - Denver Post
The surprising thing about Hanna is that for the first hour and change, it kind of makes you like the bill of goods it's selling...
Glenn Kenny - MSN Movies
What keeps us hooked is Ronan, a young actress of seemingly limitless abilities, and the tension she creates between Hanna's inhumanly agile body and quizzical eyes, which turn cold only when she pulls the trigger.
David Edelstein - New York Magazine
An entertainingly nutty action thriller from the director Joe Wright.
David Denby - New Yorker
Wright combines his two genres into a stylish exercise that perversely includes some sentiment and insight.
Roger Ebert - Chicago Sun-Times
"Hanna" presents the problem of the well-made diversion that is, at its core, repellent.
Michael Phillips - Chicago Tribune
Because they have nothing to gain from this, logic would dictate that they just stay put, but then the movie couldn't turn into a live-action video game with a preteen piling up bodies like Rambo.
J. R. Jones - Chicago Reader
Hanna rocks.
Steven Rea - Philadelphia Inquirer
The film is an uneven affair, good enough that you wish it had fully succeeded.
Colin Covert - Minneapolis Star Tribune
Saoirse Ronan is a talented young actress who tends to be better than the movies she's in. And that tendency holds true with "Hanna," an unsteady thriller that staggers when it should sprint.
Tom Long - Detroit News
It's Ronan who carries the film. She got a best-supporting-actress Oscar nomination for Wright's "Atonement," but here she's asked to do much more, and she nails it.
Bill Goodykoontz - Arizona Republic
The result is unbearable junk. What went wrong? Just about everything.
Rex Reed - New York Observer
Joe Wright's Hanna is an exuberantly crafted chase thriller that pulses with energy from its adrenaline-pumping first minutes to its muted bang of a finish.
Justin Chang - Variety
This J.V. "Salt" is effective only for a few minutes at a time, in some occasionally ripping action scenes set to a vivid Chemical Brothers score.
Kyle Smith - New York Post
A furious neck-snapping thriller that summons up memories of a dozen other movies and manages to improve on most of them.
Roger Moore - Orlando Sentinel
This fairy tale may be Grimm, but it's also quite gripping.
Peter Howell - Toronto Star
An intriguing enough remix of well-established assassin-on-the-run routine whose greatest asset is its young star.
William Goss - Film.com
An adrenaline-packed vehicle that delivers a multi-directional sugar rush. It moves so quickly that the bells and whistles blur together.
Eric Kohn - indieWIRE
Hanna is far from perfect but, courtesy of star Saoirse Ronan and director Joe Wright, it's one of those imperfect pictures that manages to command and hold our attention straight from the opening frames.
Rick Groen - Globe and Mail
"Hanna" is almost a terrific movie, or a partly terrific one, but all its giddy, improvised wonder resolves into nothing more than a ruthless, symmetrical story about a murderous monster.
Andrew O'Hehir - Salon.com
An intriguing, original thriller that owes as much of a debt to the likes of Frankenstein, the Brothers Grimm, David Lynch, and A Clockwork Orange as to The Professional and The Bourne Identity.
James Berardinelli - ReelViews
Wright has got plenty of moves, but they seem applied rather than organic, noticeable in their own right rather than an inevitable part of the overall fabric.
Todd McCarthy - Hollywood Reporter
The fact that Ronan is this good at this young age is what's truly frightening here.
Christy Lemire - Associated Press
It's a feast for the eyes, but we're still hungry.
Mary F. Pols - TIME Magazine
Hanna is a fairy tale of lightning speed, gritty action and shocking gravity, all driven by the electronic beat of a hypnotic score by the Chemical Brothers.
Peter Travers - Rolling Stone
"Hanna" is kinetic, vibrant, sometimes a completely insane adventure; one of the best times you'll have at the movies this year.
Richard Roeper - Richard Roeper.com
Blessed with considerable virtues, including a clever concept, crackling filmmaking and a charismatic star, it ultimately squanders all of them, undone by an unfortunate lack of subtlety and restraint.
Kenneth Turan - Los Angeles Times
Jason Bourne meets Run Lola Run in a movie that brings terrifying new meaning to 'child abuse'.
Tom Glasson - Concrete Playground
"A furious neck-snapping thriller that summons up memories of a dozen other movies and manages to improve on most of them."
Roger Moore - McClatchy-Tribune News Service
Teenage assassin trained as a killing machine since birth? Unless your movie has Nicolas Cage dressed like Batman with a paedo-tache, you're fighting a losing battle from the start.
Ali Gray - TheShiznit.co.uk
For a film that is supposed to be a thriller, the thrills are few and far in between. What "Hanna" really ends up being is a missed opportunity.
Jeff Beck - Examiner.com
Having already long proven her acting chops, Ronan shows a bright future as a bona fide movie star.
Michael Dequina - TheMovieReport.com
While the plot has some minor flaws, the incredible performances, characters, soundtrack and action beats of Hanna more than make up for it.
R. L. Shaffer - IGN DVD
The ingredients are there for success, but as we build toward resolution (or even increased conflict) Hanna fails to develop at a rate to match the sum of its parts.
Jordan Hiller - Bangitout.com
Sometimes a gritty, unpolished, and decidedly European-style thriller is exactly what you're looking for.
Kevin A. Ranson - MovieCrypt.com
As a thriller, this strange, at times hypnotic, fable about a damaged little girl severely disappoints.
Alec Worley - SFX Magazine
A sour, empty graphic novel of an escapade from the man who once helmed 'Atonement,' 'Hanna' gets intensely more godawful as it approaches its climax.
Brandon Judell - GreenCine
'Hanna,' 'Salt' and 'Colombiana' should all merge together for a sequel.
Clay Cane - BET.com

In response to the shifting landscape of health care delivery, and to develop a stronger presence in Washington, in June, the American College of Surgeons (ACS) welcomed two new Medical Directors to the Division of Advocacy and Health Policy (DAHP) leadership team. Frank G. Opelka, MD, FACS, a colorectal surgeon and physician executive, serves as the Medical Director of Quality and Health Policy. Patrick V. Bailey, MD, FACS, a pediatric surgeon, serves as the Medical Director of Advocacy. The transition has been seamless, and the two are collaborating, working to provide leadership in health policy integration, to coordinate results-driven advocacy programs, and to develop and refine relationships across the care continuum. Staff sat down with the Medical Directors, and discussed what they believe are some of the biggest challenges facing surgery, immediate health policy and advocacy issues that may have a profound impact on surgery, and their goals in Washington, DC. In this issue, read responses from Dr. Opelka, and more. At the Federal Level A Discussion with Dr. Opelka IOM Releases Report with GME Focus Proposed Modifications to EHR Program CoC and One Voice Against Cancer Health Policy at Clinical Congress Two Coding Workshop Remain in 2014 At the State Level Assistant Physician Designation in MO NC Debating Medicaid Reform CA Youth Concussion Legislation ACS Chapter Lobby Day Program: $5,000 Match IL Enacts Prescribing Law for Psychologists PAC and Grassroots Plan an In-District Meeting Other News of Interest At the Federal Level Advocate staff talks with Dr. Frank Opelka, Medical Director, ACS DAHP, about his expectations, his suppositions What do you believe will be the biggest challenges facing surgery over the next five years? All of health care is transforming from a fee-for-service system to a system where physicians and other providers are paid based on the value of the services they deliver. As the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and other major health insurers are discovering—value is not easily defined. Value is based on judgment of quality against cost. People will value different aspects of health care. Was their pain relieved? Did their symptoms resolve with the treatment? Was the service they received as they expected? Were their providers attentive to their personal wishes? Did they feel rushed and herded like cattle, or were they treated as individuals? Adding to the value considerations are the performance measures for accountability for the care delivered and for improving the care. Understanding how cost of care fits in also will matter. As payors move from administrative claims data to clinical data for performance measures, the burden of measurement will increase. Electronic data aggregation using electronic health records (EHR), I believe, is the next reasonable way to move forward to reduce the burden of data aggregation. Automating data aggregation must ensure that we have reliable, valid information. A misstep in data aggregation can cause misclassification of care delivery, and will direct patients inappropriately. Therefore, getting measurement right is critical. As surgeons, we strongly encourage the health plans to support and fund the data aggregation using the risk-adjusted outcomes registries of specialties, such as the ACS National Surgical Quality Improvement Program® (ACS NSQIP®), and Commission on Cancer's (CoC's) National Cancer Data Base. Among a few others, health care has been the epicenter of legislative topics in Washington. What are some immediate quality and health policy issues you believe will have a profound impact on surgery? In addition to repealing and fixing the sustainable growth rate (SGR) formula and implementing the necessary changes in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and professional liability, we have a series of challenges in creating data interoperability in EHRs used. We also need to move surgeons into measurement systems that are registry based. It may take legislative action to direct and fund the necessary resources for reducing the data burdens and moving to clinical metrics in surgery. What are some of your immediate plans to build and further develop the College's partnerships with external stakeholders and other surgical societies? The external stakeholders include health plans, patient advocates, and purchaser groups. These three groups are very active inside the Washington, DC, beltway and tend to influence CMS' efforts to measure performance and to value cost or resource use. The ACS is working closely with stakeholder groups through an array of consortia at the national level. These include the Partnership for Patients, the Brookings Institute, Health Research and Educational Trust (HRET), and the Kaiser Foundation. Other organizations, such as the National Quality Forum (NQF) and the American Medical Association (AMA) Physician Consortium for Performance Improvement are multi-stakeholder organizations, which bring together various groups when considering performance measurement. Adequate quality of care for patients remains the focus of many debatable health policy issues. How are you proposing to work with the regulatory bodies to ensure the College is involved in rulemaking processes? The NQF has the Measures Application Partnership, which recommends measures to CMS for inclusion in government programs. This partnership is a first attempt from CMS to create a body that would make recommendations explicitly to CMS before the agency publishes proposed federal rules. The ACS has strong representation in all these gatherings. Once rules and regulations are published, the ACS reviews and comments on issues of importance as they relate to the quality of care of the surgical patient. We coordinate those comments across all of the surgical disciplines. I have held several leadership positions that required direct involvement with CMS leaders. The ACS is a highly respected organization and held in the highest regard by CMS in reviewing our comments for criticisms of proposals as well as new solutions developed by our surgeons and staff. What is your chief goal or what are you most concerned about achieving during your time in Washington? It is my goal that the collective voice of surgeons is heard, and the relevancy of the surgeon is not diluted by the many efforts to transform health care. Surgery has a long history of doing what is right for patients. We never want to lose that focus while so many aspects of health care are changing. As we balance the transformation in health care, surgery and the ACS remain strongly dedicated to the optimal care of the surgical patient—foremost, that our patients will have a surgeon at the bedside when they need one, and that the business systems undergoing transformation enhance and enrich surgical care and not erode the excellence that is American surgery. Watch for the September issue when we provide responses from Dr. Bailey. IOM Releases Report with GME Focus On July 28, the Institutes of Medicine (IOM) released a report that contains recommendations to improve the graduate medical education (GME) system. The report, Graduate Medical Education that Meets the Nation's Health Needs, gives specific attention to finding ways to increase the capacity of the nation's clinical workforce to ensure the delivery of high-quality health care that will meet the needs of the U.S. diverse population. A 21-member expert committee appointed by the IOM, conducted an independent review of the governance and financing of the GME system and found that there is significant merit to assess and optimize the effectiveness of the public's investment in GME. The report serves as a preliminary roadmap for reforming the Medicare GME payment system and building an infrastructure that can drive more strategic investment in the nation's physician workforce. The College, along with the Surgical Coalition, are in the process of reviewing the document and plan to work together to ensure policymakers craft workable solutions that address the looming workforce shortage. At a minimum, the Coalition believes that Congress should bolster the U.S. surgical workforce by lifting the cap on the number of federally supported residency training positions and adopting legislation to increase the number of Medicare-supported residency positions. The Surgical Coalition includes about 20 surgical societies, and 250,000 surgeons and anesthesiologists in the U.S. CMS proposes modifications to the EHR Incentive Program In July, health policy staff submitted a response to CMS and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) supporting a proposed rule that would modify aspects of the 2014 EHR Incentive Program. The rule seeks to delay the start of Stage 3 of the program until 2017 and provide greater flexibility to providers and hospitals having difficulty upgrading their EHR software to the required 2014 edition. The ACS supported these proposals and expressed the need for more specialty-specific clinical quality measures. The ACS also urged CMS and the ONC to consider setting lower threshold requirements for providers to avoid program penalties. CoC participates in One Voice Against Cancer lobby days One Voice Against Cancer (OVAC), a collaboration of national not-for-profit organizations representing millions of Americans, delivered a unified message to Congress on the need for increased cancer-related appropriations. As OVAC members, the ACS CoC sent a contingent of CoC members and volunteers to the OVAC 2014 Lobby Days, July 7–8. OVAC recognizes the importance of federal funding for cancer research, early detection, prevention, drug development, nurse education, and childhood cancer registries. By making these lifesaving programs a priority, progress continues in the fight against cancer. Members of the CoC met with senators and representatives from their respective states and called on Congress to increase funding for the fight against cancer. The attendees representing the CoC (from left to right) included Patrick Gavin, RPh, representing the ACS Clinical Research Program and the Alliance; Balazs I. Bodai, MD, FACS, Vice-Chair of the CoC Advocacy Committee and CoC member representing the National Consortium of Breast Centers; James Hamilton, MD, FACS, Chair, CoC Advocacy Committee and CoC member representing the ACS; Alan Thorson, MD, FACS, CoC Advocacy Committee member and CoC member representing the American Cancer Society; Charles Cheng, MD, FACS, CoC State Chair for Wisconsin and CoC member representing the ACS; and Rowena Schwartz, PharmD, BCOP, CoC Advocacy Committee member and CoC member representing the Hematology/Oncology Pharmacy Association (not pictured). Clinical Congress: Health policy sessions The 2014 ACS Clinical Congress will take place October 26–30 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA. The Clinical Congress will include about 25 didactic health policy sessions to help you understand current practice management, reimbursement, and liability issues and how they may affect you and your patients. To encourage participation, the sessions are presented in a variety of formats including Town Hall Meetings, Workshops, Meet-the-Expert Luncheons, and Panel Sessions. You can expect in-depth discussions on health care reform; a surgeon's role in reducing health care costs; quality, safety, and outcomes; bundling payment in surgical services; mitigation for residents and fellows; and recent developments involving the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program. Access the full listing of health policy sessions and register online today to attend the Congress. CODING CORNER Two ACS coding workshops remain on 2014 schedule Coding requirements are inherently complex and change often. That is why, throughout the year, the ACS hosts a series of Current Procedural Terminology coding workshops designed to ensure surgeons and their staffs learn how to accurately code for services while earning continuing medical education credits. There are two ACS workshops remaining for 2014. Register today. The workshops also provide an opportunity to ask questions concerning the 2015 implementation of the 10th revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10). Review the ACS ICD-10 fact sheet. Nashville, TN Loews Vanderbilt Hotel August 20–22 800-336-3335 Chicago, IL Hyatt Chicago Magnificent Mile November 12–14 888-591-1234 Special notice: Coding workshops also will be held Sunday, October 26, and Monday, October 27, at the ACS Clinical Congress. At the State Level Missouri creates new assistant physician designation In July, Missouri approved a new law that allows medical school graduates who are waiting to match with a residency program to be assistant physicians in underserved primary care locations. These assistant physicians will have on-site supervised collaboration for 30 days, and then are free to treat patients within a 50-mile radius of the collaborating physician, as well as prescribe schedule III, IV, and V medications. Prior to Gov. Jay Nixon (D) signing the law, the AMA and American Academy of Physician Assistants voiced strong opposition to this legislation, whereas the Missouri State Medical Association supported it. If you have any questions, or would like more information, please contact ACS State Affairs at firstname.lastname@example.com. North Carolina debating Medicaid reform The North Carolina General Assembly is currently debating two different plans to reform its Medicaid system. The House plan would transform the current system into one composed of accountable care organizations led by doctors and other health care providers. The state's Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) would continue to manage the program. Gov. Pat McCrory (R), state health care providers, the North Carolina Medical Society, and Hospital Association support this proposal. The Senate plan, on the other hand, would shift the current Medicaid program to a managed care model in which private insurance companies and hospital and physician networks receive only a fixed amount for each patient. This plan also would create a new seven-member board to oversee the Medicaid program, separate from the DHHS. Provider groups in the state strongly oppose the Senate proposal. There is an agreement concerning the need to reward providers for meeting health goals and penalize them financially for cost overruns. The House passed its version in July, and the Senate is currently debating its proposal. If you have any questions, or would like more information, please contact ACS State Affairs at firstname.lastname@example.com. California Governor signs concussion prevention legislation for youth On July 21, California Gov. Jerry Brown (D) signed AB 2127, legislation aimed at preventing youth concussions in student athletes. The law prohibits middle and high school football teams of school districts, charter schools, and private schools that offer athletic programs from conducting more than two full-contact practices per week during the preseason and regular season. The law also prohibits full-contact practice during the off-season. Current California law requires school districts, private schools, and charter schools to immediately remove athletes suspected of sustaining a concussion from the athletic activity for the remainder of the day. Additionally, the law prohibits athletes from returning until they have been evaluated by a licensed health care professional trained in the management of concussions and who is acting within his or her scope of practice. If you have any questions or would like more information on youth concussion prevention, please contact ACS State Affairs at email@example.com. Apply today for ACS Chapter Lobby Day Grant Program: $5,000 match As most state legislatures have wrapped up this year's legislative calendar, the focus is now shifted toward reelection efforts and the 2015 sessions. This is the perfect time for ACS state chapters to begin planning a 2015 lobby day at their respective state capitals. To begin the planning process, chapters are encouraged to participate in the ACS Chapter Lobby Day Grant Program. The College developed this state advocacy resource in 2009 to allow Fellows, through their chapters, an opportunity to advocate for ACS issues at the state level. The College provides matching grants up to $5,000. To participate, send a request for a program application to Jon Sutton, Manager, ACS State Affairs, at email@example.com. Illinois is the third state to enact prescribing law for psychologists In June, legislators in Illinois enacted a law that allows licensed clinical psychologists who received advanced specialized training to prescribe medications for specific mental health disorders. Illinois is now the third state in the country, after New Mexico and Louisiana, to give prescriptive authority to licensed clinical psychologists. The bill was originally opposed by the Illinois State Medical Society and other provider groups because of the risks posed to patients due to lack of biomedical and clinical training received by clinical psychologists. Physician groups shared these concerns with the legislature, and were able to improve the bill significantly by increasing training requirements for prescribing psychologists, making it similar to what physician assistants must complete to prescribe medication to treat mental illness. The compromise legislation also includes the requirement for a written collaborative agreement with a practicing physician who treats mental illness, as well as provisions that prevent psychologists from prescribing to minors, the elderly, pregnant women, or disabled individuals and prohibits them from prescribing benzodiazepines, narcotics, or any Schedule II controlled substances. Scope-of-practice infringement bills have been increasingly common in state legislatures over the last few years. PAC and Grassroots Plan an in-district meeting with your House member or Senators today Congress adjourns for the summer recess August 1 until September, which means now is an excellent time to schedule in-district meetings with your elected officials to begin building the important relationships that will advance the ACS advocacy and health policy agenda. Use the SurgeonsVoice Advocacy Handbook on SurgeonsVoice.org to guide you through this process. SurgeonsVoice.org also includes helpful issue briefs on relevant topics, such as Medicare Physician Payments/SGR, the 96-Hour Rule, and Ensuring Access to Trauma Care. These meetings should assist in establishing long-term relationships and in positioning you as a trusted advisor on health care issues. You are encouraged to pair with other surgeons and surgical residents in your area. Take a photo with your member of Congress and share it with the ACS DAHP. ACS staff will work with you to ensure members understand that you are advocating on the College's behalf. If you have any questions or concerns after reviewing the materials on SurgeonsVoice.org, contact Sara Morse, American College of Surgeons Professional Association Political Action Committee (ACSPA-SurgeonsPAC) and Grassroots Manager, and Kaitlyn Dwyer, ACSPA-SurgeonsPAC and Grassroots Assistant, or call 202-337-2701. Other News of Interest In July, CMS released the Outpatient Prospective Payment System/Ambulatory Surgical Center (OPPS/ASC) payment proposed rule for calendar year (CY) 2015. Under the OPPS provisions, CMS projects a 2.1 percent payment increase for services provided in most hospital outpatient departments. In addition, CMS proposes to expand the categories of related items and services packaged into a single payment under the OPPS and to make changes to the Hospital Outpatient Quality Reporting Program, notably, the addition of the facility seven-day risk-standardized hospital visit rate after outpatient colonoscopy measure to this program. Download a display copy of the proposed OPPS/ASC rule and related press releases. In July, CMS released the Medicare physician fee schedule (MPFS) for CY 2015. CMS estimates that the total payment impact of the proposed rule on Medicare physician services for general surgery to be a zero (0) percent change. The rule also proposes to eliminate all 10- and 90-day global codes and transform them into 0-day global codes starting in CY 2017. Furthermore, the rule would modify the Open Payments program, which establishes a system for annually reporting financial relationships between physicians and drug/device manufacturers, by eliminating an exclusion that allows for payments made to speakers at accredited continuing medical education events. Download a display copy of the proposed MPFS and related press releases. Phase two of physician registration in the Open Payments system under the Physician Payments Sunshine Act began July 14, and physicians have until August 27 to review the information and initiate any disputes regarding the data reported about them. Although registration in the Open Payments system is voluntary for physicians, the ACS regulatory affairs staff strongly recommends registering, as it is required for physicians to review and dispute their open payments data.

Published: December 23, 2013 - 05:02 PM
MUNCIE, Ind.: An Ohio man convicted of child molesting a 6-month-old girl, infecting her with a sexually transmitted disease, has been sentenced to 100 years in prison.
The Star Press reports Delaware Circuit Judge Kimberly Dowling told 25-year-old Bryan Michael Strickler of Streetsboro during the sentencing Monday that his case represented "the worst of the worst" crimes, the state's standard for imposition of a maximum sentence.
Public defender Sam Beasley had earlier called a probation officer's recommendation of a maximum sentence "inexcusable." Strickler had pleaded for leniency, saying he was not a bad person and he was sorry.
Strickler was convicted of child molesting and attempted child molesting in a bench trial last month.
Authorities said the girl was molested in the fall of 2011.
