Fact Sheet 24:
Protecting Financial Privacy:
The Burden Is on You
Send to Printer
Privacy Rights Clearinghouse
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLB) financial privacy rule (15 U.S.C. §§ 6801-6809) requires your financial institution to provide you with a privacy notice that describes three things:
- Privacy Policy: Your financial institution must tell you the kinds of information it collects about you and how it uses that information.
- Right to Opt-Out: Your financial institution must explain your ability to prevent the sharing of your customer data with third parties.
- Safeguards: Financial institutions are required to develop policies to prevent unauthorized access to confidential financial information. These policies must be disclosed to you.
GLB gives you the right to opt-out of certain types of information sharing. The default for the opt-out approach is that your data is shared until and unless you notify the company otherwise by opting out.
Financial institutions are generally required to provide an initial notice of these policies, and then an annual notice to customers every year that the relationship continues.
Which financial institutions must provide me with a privacy notice?
You should receive a privacy notice from any companies that offer financial products or services to individuals. This includes your bank, credit card issuers, payday loan companies, collection agencies, mortgage brokers, and insurance companies.
What are model privacy notices?
Most financial institutions use a model privacy notice. The model notice is a two-page disclosure form designed to allow consumers to easily compare the privacy practices of different financial institutions. Use of the model privacy form is voluntary. However, a financial institution must use one of the model privacy notices if it delivers its privacy notice online rather than by postal mail.
A financial institution that properly uses the model privacy notice will be in compliance with the disclosure requirements for privacy notices under the GLB and obtains a "safe harbor" for federal regulatory requirements for privacy notices.
Will the privacy notice say exactly what information about me can be disclosed?
You will get notice of the categories of information the financial institution collects and the categories of information that may be sold or shared with a third party. The privacy notice must give you specific examples of each category, but this is by no means a complete list of the data that may be disclosed.
My bank's privacy notice does not give me an opt-out. Am I missing something?
Perhaps the bank's privacy policy says it does not share information with third-party companies. If a company does not share your information with third parties or if the company does not have affiliates, the privacy notice should explain this.
Do I have only one chance to opt-out?
If you are a customer with a continuing relationship with the company, your right to opt-out is continuing. If you fail to opt-out, your financial institution may sell or share your personal data after a "reasonable" time. If you later decide you want to keep your financial institution from disclosing your personal data, you always have the right to opt-out. It goes without saying, however, that information that is disclosed before you opt-out is already "out there." You can't bring it back.
Once you opt-out, you do not have to respond to any future privacy notices that you may receive for that account. Your opt out choice remains in effect until you change it.
What about closed accounts?
Financial institutions are not required to send you an opt-out notice if your account is closed. However, if you have an existing account and have already opted out, your opt-out election would continue even after you closed the account.
3. How Your Financial Institution Shares Your Data
Where does a financial institution get its information?
The privacy notice must tell you this. A financial institution may receive information directly from you, for example, when you fill out an application for a new account. Information about you may also be compiled based upon records of your transactions with that company, its affiliates, and other sources. This may include information about how you use your credit card, your account balances, late payments, what you buy, and where you shop.
What kinds of companies can get my personal information?
The privacy notice you receive from financial institutions does not have to tell you the names of any specific companies or organizations that may buy or receive your personal information. Only the categories of companies have to be disclosed to you.
The relationship between your company and the company that receives your information determines if you have a right to opt-out, that is to stop the information flow. These relationships are: (1) nonaffiliated third party (outside company), (2) affiliated company, or (3) joint marketer or service provider. GLB only gives you the right to opt-out when it comes to third-party, nonaffiliated companies.
When your information is disclosed under a contract between your company and another company to sell you financial products, this is called a "joint marketing agreement." You have no right to know any details about these joint marketing agreements, and you have no say in information flow under these contracts.
What is a third party nonaffiliate?
It means a company that is not owned or controlled by the company you're doing business with. For example, your bank's privacy notice may say it shares your personal information with third party nonaffiliates. The notice may go on to identify one such category as "financial services providers." An example could be an insurance company that is not affiliated with your bank.
Other categories of nonaffiliated companies that could receive your information might be identified in the privacy notice as "non-financial service providers" such as retailers, direct marketers, telemarketers, or "other companies" like nonprofit organizations. Remember, if the company sells customer data to third party nonaffiliates, it must give you the right to opt-out.
What is an affiliate?
Large companies often have many separate companies that do business under the corporate umbrella. Although each company operates separately, it is still under the control of the parent corporation. Your bank's affiliates, for example, might include other financial companies such as a credit card company, a brokerage firm, a mortgage company, an insurance company, or an automobile financing company. Affiliates may also include nonfinancial companies such as auto parts or repair companies.
Can I stop my financial company from sharing my personal information with its affiliates?
Under GLB, a company can share your personal information with its affiliates. However, the notice you receive is also likely to explain your right to opt-out under another law, the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). This law gives you the right to prevent a company from sharing information about your "creditworthiness" with affiliates. This includes information such as the amount and source of your income, your debt level, and your history of paying bills on time.
Your "transaction and experience" information can still be shared with affiliates without your consent. This information encompasses account activity like deposits, withdrawals, debits, and credits. Also included in this category are specifics such as what you buy, where you buy it, and how much you pay. This is valuable information, particularly when a company wants to sell you every variety of its financial products.
Another opportunity to limit information sharing with affiliates is included in the Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act (FACTA). The FACTA affiliate sharing opt out provision is discussed in the Federal Trade Commission's Affiliate Marketing Rule, Final Rule. This rule generally prohibits using certain information received from an affiliate to make a solicitation to a consumer about the person's products or services, unless the consumer is given notice and a reasonable opportunity and a reasonable and simple method to opt out of the making of such solicitations, and the consumer does not opt out.
What is a joint marketer?
A joint marketer is a company that contracts with another company to sell you financial services or products. It is standard practice in the financial services industry for companies to enter into marketing agreements with telemarketers or direct mail marketers. Information can be freely shared under such contracts. GLB requires that such contracts be for the purpose of marketing financial products or services. The receiving company must restrict further disclosure of the customer data. The law does not enable you to say "no" to sharing your information under these marketing agreements.
How does joint marketing weaken my opt-out?
Joint marketing agreements are entered into by third-party, non-related companies. But for GLB's joint marketing loophole, you could stop this data sharing by simply opting out. Consider the expansive definition of a financial "service or product" and companies that fall under the "financial institution" heading. A financial institution is not just companies like banks, brokerage houses, and insurance companies. Payday lenders, mortgage brokers and automobile dealers are also "financial institutions." Joint marketing agreements thus open the door for data sharing among an array of third-party nonaffiliated companies.
Can I stop unwanted solicitations that come from joint marketers?
GLB does not give you the right to stop these offers. A few financial companies now offer to let you opt-out from joint marketing solicitations. If so, this choice should be included in the privacy notice you receive.
GLB gives you no control or right to opt-out when your financial institution shares your information with service providers. A "service provider" is a company that contracts with your bank to service your account or process your transactions. Many financial institutions contract with other companies to perform some service, such as printing or mailing statements.
Personal data necessary to perform accounting functions, operate customer call centers, and process transactions are now routinely sent offshore. Personal data at stake includes any information you would give your bank. For example, your name, Social Security number, and account numbers are all data items needed to "service" your account.
What can I do if outsourcing results in identity theft?
It is unlikely that you will even be able to trace the source of the fraud. Most victims can't. Even if you can trace the source to a foreign "service provider," you have little recourse. GLB does not give you the right to sue, even an American company, for privacy or data security violations. Even federal financial agencies, with the authority to enforce GLB, will probably not have standing in foreign countries.
Will the privacy notice at least tell me if my bank outsources services?
Very unlikely. But, if you are dealing with a large financial corporation it is a near certainty today that some or all of your personal information will flow offshore.
6. Financial Privacy in California
California's Financial Information Privacy Act (known as FIPA or SB 1) (Cal. Financial Code §§ 4050-4060) exists specifically to offer privacy protections that GLB lacks. FIPA provides more protection than GLB, but it does not prevent financial institutions from sharing your personal information with affiliates. FIPA originally had a section to provide such a protection but it was struck down in 2008 when a federal court held that the FCRA pre-empts state law when it comes to sharing personal information with affiliates. American Bankers Association v. Lockyer, 541 F.3d 1213 (9th Cir. 2008).
Regardless, FIPA still provides more protection than GLB:
- A financial institution must notify you and obtain your consent to share information with unaffiliated businesses (a business is unaffiliated when it is not under the control of the same company). (Cal. Financial Code § 4052.5)
- You can opt out of information sharing that results from joint-marketing agreements that a financial institution makes with outside companies to market financial products and services. (Cal. Financial Code § 4053(a)(1))

Released: Sep 01st, 1997
Running Time: 93
Director: Jim Enright
Company: VCA Platinum Plus
Cast: Tom Byron, Mitchell Gant, Holly Hummer, Micki Lynn, Anthony (I), Scott Styles, Peter North, Tricia Devereaux, Krista Maze, Stacy Valentine, Shayla LaVeaux, Jake Steed, Tony Tedeschi
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Feature
With its consistently steamy – but never quite over-the-top – sex scenes, the handsomely shot Eternal Lust 2 is one of the better couples vids of the year. In it, vampire queen Shayla Laveaux and protégé Stacy Valentine amuse each other with tales past sexual exploits.
The hottest include LaVeaux's face-sitting pussy grind with Mitchell Gant, who reciprocates by boning her, then blowing his creamy wad all over her luscious kisser. Another high note is the vid-ending, cast-inclusive orgy, which might just stretch the boundaries of what's considered traditional couples fare.
An added plus is EL2's beautifully shot nighttime sequences, an achievement that's likely to garner a videography nom later this year.

If I take my external drive and put it inside my computer as a second drive, if it already has stuff on it, like music, files, ect.. will it keep them intact or format it automatically?
External drive put inside computer as 2nd drive, will it keep files already on it in tact, or will it auto format it?
All your stuff will still be there. You do not need to reformat.
It depends what software you have running on your computer. If you're just running an operating system, then no, I don't know of any common operating system that will automagically format your hard drive when you start up your computer.
That being said, if you did happen to have Darik's Boot & Nuke (DBAN) on a USB flash drive that you booted from, or it was installed on a hard drive, than indeed everything would be gone. The point is, you should know if the drive will be erased or not, because it depends what you have on the computer. Obviously the DBAN case is less likely to happen, but it's not unheard of to see viruses corrupting/infecting files on external drives, or ones whose payload is simply to format all the drives in your computer.

Transportation-Disadvantaged Populations:
Federal Agencies Are Taking Steps to Assist States and Local Agencies in Coordinating Transportation Services
GAO-04-420R: Published: Feb 24, 2004. Publicly Released: Feb 24, 2004.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-6570
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
In June 2003, we reported that over 60 federal programs can fund transportation services for certain "transportation-disadvantaged" populations (such as some elderly persons, persons with disabilities, or low-income persons) that lack the ability to provide their own transportation or have difficulty accessing conventional public transportation, but that several obstacles impede coordination of these programs. Most of the programs are administered by four federal departments--Transportation, Health and Human Services, Labor, and Education. Coordinating these disparate federal efforts could result in more efficient use of federal resources and in improved services for these transportation-disadvantaged populations. In fact, some local areas that have overcome existing obstacles and successfully coordinated the services offered by federal programs and others available in their area have realized improved customer service and substantial cost savings. To promote and encourage further coordination of the transportation services provided by these programs, we recommended that (1) the Departments of Labor and Education join the Departments of Transportation and Health and Human Services as members of the Coordinating Council on Access and Mobility (Coordinating Council); (2) the members of the Coordinating Council develop and distribute additional guidance to states and other grantees that encourages the coordination of transportation services; (3) the member departments ensure that the Coordinating Council's strategic plan and each member department's strategic and annual performance plans have long-term goals and performance measures related to coordinating the departments' programs and improving transportation for transportation-disadvantaged populations; and (4) the member departments link their Web sites to the Web site of the Coordinating Council and advertise the site in departmental correspondence and other outreach opportunities. In addition to these recommendations, we identified several more general options for improving coordination--including developing improved leadership and establishing interagency forums at the federal, state, and local levels; harmonizing differing federal program standards and requirements; and providing financial incentives to encourage state or local agencies to coordinate. Congress asked us to (1) determine whether the four federal departments and the Coordinating Council have taken steps to address our recommendations and (2) identify actions taken by the four federal departments in relation to the options we outlined for improving coordination.
Federal departments and the Coordinating Council have made progress implementing the recommendations in our June report, which should result in improved coordination of federal programs at the state and local level. However, the departments have made limited efforts to include coordination in their strategic and annual performance plans. The Departments of Labor and Education have been invited to join the Coordinating Council, and have been active in interdepartmental working groups under the council. In addition, several efforts are under way to improve and expand the range of guidance and technical assistance offered by three of the four federal departments; however, the Department of Education has yet to begin developing guidance on coordination for its programs. These federal coordination efforts are designed to help state and local agencies coordinate some of the key federal programs, such as Health and Human Services' Medicaid program and Labor's programs under the Workforce Investment Act, with transportation services funded by the Department of Transportation. All of these actions are in the early stages of implementation, and their success will depend on whether the departments can muster a sustained effort focused on measurable performance goals related to coordination efforts. While the Federal Transit Administration--an agency within the Department of Transportation--has included coordination-related performance goals in its strategic plan, other agencies and departments have not yet fully incorporated transportation coordination objectives, goals, or performance measures related to coordination in their strategic and annual performance plans. Officials within the involved departments and agencies, however, have identified transportation and the coordination of these services as an area to consider in the next cycle of planning efforts. Finally, while some of the agencies within the Departments of Health and Human Services, Labor, and Education have linked their Web sites to the Coordinating Council's Web site, or have plans to do so, other agencies within these departments have not yet implemented this recommendation. The Departments of Transportation, Health and Human Services, Labor, and Education have also taken additional actions related to the other options outlined in our report for improving coordination. In December 2003, the four departments launched a five-part coordination initiative--"United We Ride"--that is designed to help states and communities overcome obstacles to coordination. This initiative is designed to provide financial incentives for coordination and establish an interagency forum for communication. While this initiative holds promise for improving coordination at the state and local levels, it is too soon to comment on its ability to do so. Also, while there have been some onetime funding contributions from three of the four departments, a more long-term commitment of resources could make the success of these ongoing actions more likely.

The tour took us through several interesting restaurants in Old Towne Orange. The food was all yummy! The tastings were more like full-sized servings so come with an empty stomach!! I'm glad I did.
The entire tour took about 2.5 hours. Probably doable wearing heels...for the best experience, wear comfortable walking shoes and have a curious palate.
Tour is highly recommended for local tourists and non-local tourists alike.

Using .4.1, I can create multiple galleries, but only the first gallery I created will actually run a slideshow.
Here's the site. frankjlanzaphotography
The three galleries are in the portfolio section. Portraits was the first created gallery and the slideshow runs as expected. Live Music and Personal Work galleries won't run as a slideshow. It tries to start, but goes to a single image at a time thing.
I know the sizes are goofy. I'm only the web guy and these are the images Frank gave me get the galleries set up. He'll make them more uniform when I tell him he can upload.

Thanks ... I'll find some today!
Using K&S Sta-Flex Fuel Line.
I noticed after a tank of my gas/glow mix that the fuel line is hardening... should be fine for the fuel lines,
but I'm worried about flexibility in the line from...
I would be afraid that it might have stress fractures you cant see from the impact..
I'd hate to hear that prop came apart while you were over it adjusting the hight speed needle[:o]
Never noticed bearing problems, but those were modified engines that only last a few weeks before I would put in new rod bearings / rings / valve springs. I would use ATF to coat...
All you gas/glow guys...
Here's a tip from when I raced Methanol gokarts. After the races, I would run straight wd40 for about 30 seconds.... cleaned all the remaining Methanol out of the...
I'll check the end gap on the bowman ring..... also I've had the cylinder off for the porting, so the rings really haven't had any time to seat.... after I get the APC prop, I'll just...
I'm using an 18/8 prop, so I suspect the number to be lower with the extra pitch.... I"ll be trying the apc 18/6w as soon as it gets in. Also going to try a 18/6 zinger wood prop.
Thanks for the idea's.... checked the seat pressure and it was fine.... removed the screen and placed a filter inline.
I think it's close:)
I bent the metering...
I finally got my fuel mix close: 2 part gas 1 part glow (10% nitro 12% oil)
That took care of the excess oil problem.
I milled the exhaust port to make up for the amount of gasket...
Thanks for the info.....
Not bad for $22 plus shipping .... a brand new Wildthing minus carb, and a 46cc....;)
Can you hook me up with a prop adapter, intake, muffler kit?
Calling all experts... I've been looking online all night, can't figure it out.[&o]
The saw was a Poulan Super Clean with Anti-Vibration handle. Part of the case and the carb was missing.
Nothing yet,
Working on a Super Decathlon with a Ryobi 33cc conversion currently..... should be done in a week or three;)
Go for the Decathlon from Dynaflite.... Its a very easy build.... only part that was a pain was carving the wingtips...
It builds very much like the 4*...... I built a 4* before...
You are definately in the heart of Kart country.... I use to travel to N/S Carolina to race unlimited 4cyle and 2cycle dir oval karts.
My sources locally have really disappeared.
Understand your fuel mix... one question, you will be cutting your methanol % quite a bit.... Won't you have a problem with keeping the glow plug lit?
Thanks for the reply....
I tried those options.....
LHS won't order it unless a pallet of it is ordered.... TowerHobbies doesn't have it.... closest thing they have is 10%...
av8tor1977 ,
My supplier for Methanol will now only sell me Methanol in 5 gallon minimums.....
Can you tell me where online I can order a 10/10 glow mix?
Best I can find is a 12/9 mix...
Saw an add in a magazine with the website MM Magic.
2 Engines... a 45cc and a 30cc.... impressive #'s and resonable cost.
Anybody had any experience with these?
All right guys.... you gave plenty to think about.....
I think I have it surrounded:)
If I can get ahold of some methanol this weekend I'll try to get it dialed in....
Engine: 31cc Ryobi
Went to 4 parts 87 octane gas to 1 part glow (10% nitro 18% Oil)
1) I got a noticable increase in RPM (still don't have a working tach)
2) More resolution on...
Thanks.... I'll try a 5:1 ratio this weekend, and see where it gets me.
Engine: Ryobi 31cc
My mix is 2 part gas to 1 part glow (glow is 10% nitro 18% oil).
If I get some methanol what would you recommend I adjust my mix to?
I'm in the middle of doing exactly what your asking... I have the wacker glow adapter, and the flywheel adapter. Both are well made.
I filed the lip around the spark plug...
No offense taken.... you told me on a couple of occassions to try the choke test.... I just got to darn excited to remember :D
The kids had me tied up last few days, but I did start it up and...
I used to race alcohol gokarts..... believe it or not I can find plain methanol easier than the 10/10 glow[:@]
I'm using a fox plug currently ... I'll try with a saito 4-stroke and try the ideas...

Platelets are an ideal model for studying a rapid morphological change in response to various signal transduction systems. Morphological changes via the activation of integrin αIIbβ3 in platelets have been investigated intensively. In contrast, activation via integrin α6β1 is less well studied. Here, we provide the first biochemical evidence that integrins α6β1 and αIIbβ3 of platelets are associated with different membrane proteins. We also demonstrate that platelets activated by integrin α6β1 show dynamic change by actively forming filopodia and never fully spreading over a period of more than an hour. In addition, platelets activated by integrin α6β1 are different from those activated by integrin αIIbβ3 in terms of cell–substrate contact and in their distribution pattern of actin, Arp2/3 and various phosphotyrosine proteins. The morphological appearance of platelets produced through integrin α6β1 activation is highly dependent on PI3 kinase (PI3K) but less dependent on Src kinase. Suppression of PI3K activity in integrin α6β1 activated platelets induces an increase in Cdc42 activity and more filopodium formation. However, both Cdc42 and PI3K activity are higher in platelets activated by integrin α6β1 than in those activated by integrin αIIbβ3. Taken together, this study demonstrates that the signals induced by integrin α6β1 modulate at the level of PI3K and Cdc42 activity to allow platelets to actively form filopodia.

According to Lewis, causal claims must be analysed in terms of counterfactual conditionals, and these in turn are understood in terms of relations of comparative similarity among single concrete possible worlds. Lewis also claims that there is no trans-world causation because there is no way to make sense of trans-world counterfactuals without automatically making them come out to be false. In this paper I argue against this claim. I show how to make sense of trans-world counterfactuals in a non-trivial way that can make them come out to be true, by appealing to relations of comparative similarity among concrete possible worlds (i.e., assuming modal realism). I argue that either merely making such sense of a relevant counterfactual is not enough to have causation, or that Lewis' modal realism must be given up.

in short, HOW to insert an image in a post, without associating it with that post's gallery?
in long, I think the gallery shortcode is a pretty impressive leap forward in the handling of thumbnails and image content for blogs.
however I'm a little confused. maybe someone out there can explain to me, is it possible to NOT include some images uploaded to a post in that post's respective gallery? say i want to include an image at the top, or one further towards the end, but to have the main 'gallery' in the middle. is this even possible? i can't seem to separate an uploaded image from the post gallery!!
isn't aiding me in my quest.
any ideas? thanks.

The availability of an array of molecular marker systems allowed comparing the efficiency of two of these marker systems to estimate the relationships among various taxa. The objective of this study was to assess the genetic diversity among 40 cultivated varieties and five wild relatives of rice, Oryza sativa L. involving simple sequence repeat (SSR) randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. The accessions were evaluated for polymorphisms after amplification with 36 decamer primers and 38 SSR primer pairs. A total of 499 RAPD markers were produced among the 40 cultivated varieties and five wild relatives with a polymorphism percentage of 90.0. Out of 38 SSR primer pairs used, only one locus viz., RM115 was monomorphic. The average Polymorphism Information Content (PIC) value was 0.578 and it ranged from a low of zero (RM 115) to a high of 0.890 (RM 202). The Mantel matrix correspondence test was used to compare the similarity matrices and the correlation coefficient was 0. 582. The test indicated that clusters produced based on RAPD and SSR markers were not conserved since matrix correlation value was 0.582 as against the minimum required value of 0.800. The two marker systems contrasted most notably in pair-by-pair comparisons of relationships. SSR analysis resulted in a more definitive separation of clusters of genotypes indicating a higher level of efficiency of SSR markers for the accurate determination of relationships between accessions that are too close to be accurately differentiated by RAPD markers.

WARREN, Mich - An early Christmas party at a local furniture store became the rally site for workers of Fox 2 television. Media outlets were invited to the gala event and broadcast workers took the opportunity to bring attention to the news organization's refusal to bargain in good faith.
"It is not looking like a very good Christmas for us so we hope we can put a damper on theirs," said Brian Moore, President of Local 43, National Association of Broadcast Employees and Technicians - Communication Workers of America (NABET-CWA) as he walked last week along the busy road in front of the store. He carried a sign saying "Turn off Fox 2, unfair to working families." The honking of car horns seemed to show the message was getting through.
Local 43 represents many of the technical workers at Detroit's Fox 2. Contract negotiations began in May but the October negotiations ended with the union walking out.
Master control operator David Minter said workers took a four percent wage cut in 2009 and have gone four years without a raise. He and others are angry that Fox is now asking for even more cuts.
Possibly taking a cue from Walmart and other anti-labor businesses, Fox wants to eliminate the breaks people take during their working day. Moore said his members regularly work seven and a half to eight hours straight in a crowded six by eight foot room.
Another key issue is jurisdictional rights. Fox wants to allow anybody working in the building to shoot and transmit video. For the "YouTube" generation, quality means nothing; they need to get "on the air fast."
Penny wise and pound foolish might describe another Fox demand. Photographers and other NABET members often work outside in what can be very nasty weather. Incredulously, Fox no longer wants to provide foul weather gear. When workers asked why, Fox replied that it costs them "$7,000 every three years." "This is from a company that makes $1.8 billion," Moore observed.
The blame for the aggressive approach is not the Local Fox management. "We had an agreement in two hours but as soon as they sent it to Fox headquarters in New York, the reply came back 'no way.'"
What is happening at Fox 2 Detroit is taking place at Fox outlets all over the country. There are now 30 open contracts with NABET and other unions said Moore. "We can't close contracts because they don't want to."
Metro Detroit AFL-CIO President Chris Michalakis said news quality will suffer when work is "shopped out" to interns who don't do this for a living nor have the needed experience.
He was incredulous that Fox is fighting over a $7,000 tab for cold weather gear. "That's Roger Ailes' (president of Fox News) lunch money."

Colchester General Hospital in Essex has declared a 'major incident' and is asking people not to visit A&E unless they have a "serious or life-threatening condition"
Members of the public have been told to stay away from accident and emergency unless they have a serious or life-threatening condition
The hospital was put into special measures last week after the Care Quality Commission found ''inaccuracies'' in its cancer waiting list figures
A consultant said PC Diane Patt, 34, would have survived the 2011 birth if the blood had been replaced - she lost five litres of blood
The Care Quality Commission found "inaccuracies" in the hospital's figures and discovered that some patients suffered "undue delays"
Inspectors found cancer patients were not treated within the required 62 days - but records at Colchester General were then altered
The boy, aged 22 months, was climbing on the furniture in his room when it fell on top of him weighing an estimated 30kg
An attack on a man found fatally injured in a car park was linked to a New Year's Eve party, police have said.
Grieving mother Maggie Turnbull last night revealed the reality behind the scandal of Britain's worst NHS hospitals.
A hospital A&E department was so swamped that 14 ambulances carrying patients had to queue for four hours because there was no space inside.
FIVE hundred holidaymakers had their travels put on hold yesterday after a virus-hit cruise ship was quarantined.

- Roof RacksRooftop Carriers Can Carry All Your Water Sports EquipmentSo you've got a kayak, canoe, surfboard, or stand up paddleboard you can't wait to use. Before you can do that, however, you've got to find a practical way to get your toy to a lake or ocean - safely, and without damage. While these watersport items embody grace and fluidity in the waves, the truth is they're extremely cumbersome to transport on land. If you find yourself scratching your head trying to figure out the best solution, we've created this article to cover the many rooftop carriers for these items that we offer.
- Roof RacksRooftop Storage Solutions | Cargo Boxes, Bags, BasketsMaybe you've got an SUV with three rows of seats. They're great fun when 6 or 8 people are along for a road trip, but most such modern vehicles utilize every inch of interior space in order to fit that third row. Consequentially, there's virtually zero room for cargo when seats are in the upright position. Or maybe you have a similar problem with a compact hatchback, or even a minivan. Your vehicle may have fold-flat seats that make carrying cargo easy, but what good are they when you need to bring passengers with you? You can't ask adults to squeeze in between duffel bags or sporting gear, and you can't ask them to hang on tight and surf on the roof either.
- Roof RacksRooftop Carriers Can Carry All Your Winter Sports EquipmentSkiing and snowboarding are not inexpensive hobbies. After purchasing skis, poles, shoes, clothes, lift passes, and even lodging accommodations, you've shelled out enough money that it becomes tempting to skip spending more on a rooftop carrier. But if you've ever jammed all your snow gear inside your car, you know how chaotic, slushy, and awkward that can be - especially if you're trying to make room for friends and luggage. That's why we offer cleverly-designed rooftop carriers that won't break your bank in the Ski & Snowboard Racks section of our website.
- Roof RacksRoof Rack Base Systems - The Foundation for Sports Equipment CarriersMore than ever, we have observed that young and old alike are engaging in outdoor activities. Everything from biking to skiing to canoeing is being pursued with avid interest and excitement. There are folks outside in all kinds of weather, at all times of the year, engaged in healthy pursuits. The explosive popularity of the "Sport Utility Vehicle", or SUV means that these vehicles are living up to their name, and are being pressed into use as the means to move the equipment. Even the "non-SUV", the family sedan or hatchback, has been configured in some way to be able to carry what's needed to support the sporting activity of choice.

Over other platforms like Movable Type?
I'm curious.
Over other platforms like Movable Type?
I'm curious.
I chose WordPress because it's open-source and community supported, and because of that whole MovableType v3 license debacle.
First reason, customizability. The templating system pre-1.5 is admittedly a bit clumsy, but it was still pretty easy to do. The new builds just keep getting slicker with regards to the theming capabilities. And XHTML standards compliance is a Good Thing (TM).
Second, ease of use/admin/maintenance. Self-explanatory - it was the easiest to work with, extend, and the least confusing for non-geek users.
Finally, the highly active support and development communities.
And really finally, extensibility. Plugins are easy to write (well, easy to start, at least - I'm not that good at PHP yet) and seamlessly integrate new stuff into just about any part of the software.
Not to mention how classy "WordPress" sounds to the ladies :D
It chose me :)
1) It's PHP/APACHE/MySQL
2) It's Opensource (that not only means free, but that mean WP will be able to be maintained ven if the original team gives up)
3) it's cool and elegant
4) it works !
5) I can do with it pretty much anything I want (it's not a closed stuff)
6) there is a very good and active community around it
7) Saying "I have a WP weblog" attract women
nb: I'm not very sure of point #7
It's true, it's true - women are very attracted to WordPress blogs. I can prove it :)
I chose b2 because it was OpenSource and php/mySQL based. I had looked at a couple others (such as MT and Greymatter), but I wasn't thrilled with the idea of using Perl, etc. I liked the idea of dynamically creating the pages, and b2 was easy to setup and use. When WP was announced as the official successor, it was a no-brainer for me to switch.
fonzievision ..... any particular reason for asking ? Do you use WP ?
One night last September, an extraterrestrial spacecraft landed in my backyard. I realized it had to be from another world, because moments later a strange, unearthly being emerged from an opening in the hull. He, or she, or rather it, was gold-skinned, with about a dozen six-foot long tentacles for arms and legs. And it wore a black top hat. Strange, that.
As I was about to ask if it wanted to be taken to see my leader, an ethereal voice emerged from what I took to be its mouth. It said:
"Start using WordPress."
Then the alien turned around, went back into its ship, and flew off into the sky.
True story!
Ahah. Podz . I'm just curious to know, having adopted WordPress myself very recently (from typepad).
I liked that it used PHP and was opensource. MT looked complicated, while WP looked simple (in a good way) and sexy.
"7) Saying "I have a WP weblog" attract women"
That's true for me at least. ;o)
After blogging manually for a few months, I wanted something that did auto-archives. I tried CuteNews, which was extremly easy to use, but their archives SUCK. Then I tried MT, which was extremly difficult for me to use. WordPress is a happy medium for me. It has the features I want and is easy to use and customize.
Where did y'all learn how to customise WordPress and Kubrick?
I choose it because the website looked lovely and read well. I've tried a few blogs and I reckon this is the best.
I'm just about to set up a mail list. What is the WordPress of mailing list software?
Used to have a blog at blogdrive.com and didn't really like the look of it so I changed to WP...big mistake...my WP looks like cr.. aswell, due to the fact that I don't have any CSS or php skills (obviously not WP's fault!!).
My lack of coding skills makes me feel like I'm tied on hands and feet...I see a lot of greatlooking WP blogs and I know how I would want mine to look like, but again the lacking skills in coding prevents me from applying the look and features I want.
I've made so many changes to my Trident template, that I simply don't have the energy to install the extremely cool Kubricks theme and start all over again...Kubrick is really the only theme available I like "out of the box" and which doesn't need a lot of things done to it to suit my taste.
Anyway...for complete newbies who don't have the time to learn coding properly, WP can be quite painful customizing. Beginners should, imho, start with maybe blogdrive.com or modblog.com, learn some code and learn how to customizing those blogs a little, and from there move to WP and be creative.
Best thing about WP and the community is how extremely helpful everybody is and how kind the fellow WP users are.
People I don't even know, have taken the time to write me tutorials, posted answers to my daft questions and have tried to help out in every possible way...and I'm extremely grateful for that.
People have spent a lot of time helping me out. I'm a slow learner when it comes to coding ;-) I hold a candidate degree in biology, but for some idiotic reason I'm simply too daft to master coding CSS/php...maybe it's because I've haven't spent enough time doing it or...well...maybe it's just not meant to be one of the things I do well (...God knows there's a lot of things I'm not very good at!)
Just to avoid any confusion: WP is great...It's my coding skills that blows....to say the least. I know the basics and it's getting better, but I'm still looking for that great revelation where everything falls into place.
OK...I'm rambling...time to stop
To sum up: I chose WP because of the helpful and kind folks here in the WP community...
This is my first foray into blogging and I wanted to use something that was installed by myself so that my content was stored on my domain, not elsewhere, and that allowed me to eventually completely customize my blog.
- it needed to easily work as a photoblog, as this was my primary intended use
- php/MySQL and simple to manually install into my database
- ease of customization because I have no experience in this area
- OpenSource & free are very nice bonuses
- the supporting community is fantastic and very active
Researching my various needs and desires for my blog, it came down to WordPress and MT. As it turns out, my host has actually banned MT because it was causing too many security issues, but that was irrelevant to me, as WP had already won out.
In conclusion, in my very short blogging experience (2 days), WordPress rules.
I ran into Matt Mullenweg at a tupperware party in Pouce Coupe, BC. He told me about this cool thing he was working on. I didn't have a clue about what he was talking about, but I let him talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk about it. I just had to download it and see for myself what it was all about.
It was so easy to install, even a moose could do it. So I did. Been hanging out here ever since.
NuclearMoose, it seems a lot of you here are from BC. I dwell in Vancouver suburbia so hello to my fellow British Columbians. :)
After setup apache/MySQL last week, I was learning how to use Perl. My friend suggested me to look PHP also, then I downloaded PHP and setup a MediaWiki yesterday night.
I think blog maybe is better since Wiki is too big. By googling "blog + MySQL + PHP + Apache", I found WordPress. I like the style of wordpress.org, nice and clean. so WordPress is my final choose.
1. Dynamic Pages - no stupid rebuild, posting into the future
2. Template system (since the 1.3 alphas)
3. Good community
4. very active development
5. free & OpenSource
I tried many systems before and installed several different systems for friends and some clients. Used to do a lot of MT stuff ...
1. PHP, MySQL (dynamic pages)
2. despite 1. it's fast (static pages possible if someone writes a working staticize-replacement)
3. open source, well supported, good community
4. nice templating system
5. open, so I can add nearly any feature I want (see 1., 3.)
I thought it meant Wonderfull Program... and after that mistake I saw no reason to search further.
There is a great community here. There are lots of people who help around. It's open source too and the development is quite fast I think. I like the admin pages, they're well organized (in 1.5)
Never used MT, couldnt be bothered with what seemed awfully complicated. Use Pivot for a couple of years. Had a hissy and deleted the blog and a week or two later was about to reinstall Pivot but thought I would just have a look about at what was available. WordPress looked decent, I didnt expect to do more than test it out for a week before returning to Pivot, but..I'm still here. And making themes. (it was much more complicated in Pivot, though I did it there too)
I had an account at Livejournal for a while, got bored of it fairly quickly. I still liked the idea of a blog and also felt the urge to redesign the look and functionality of my site. I did a search (keywords forgotten) that led me to find WordPress, and I decided to give it a try. I was satisfied with my criteria of "free" being met, and got hooked by the ultimate customize-ability. Just like many others who have posted above me, I have enjoyed the vast amount of information that has been found within this forum and community!
1. PHP, MySQL (dynamic pages)
2. despite 1. it's fast (static pages possible if someone writes a working staticize-replacement
With 1.5 you have the ability to create "static" pages without need for a hack or plugin.
> With 1.5 you have the ability to create "static" pages
Unfortunately, too late for me, but it doesn't matter.
WP: like Joan, I wanted the software to run on *my* server so that it could be controlled by *me*. Heard great things about WordPress, tried it, installed it. End of story. :-)
having tried about 5 other blog"thingies", I came across something where the support discussion was realistic, guiding and very enthousiastic. Add to that a claimed under 5 minutes installation (which in reality was 2 minutes 38 seconds, yeah, for real!), WP had my attention... from there on: no looking back!!!
I have used Greymatter and Movable Type before, now I switched a new web host that has cPanel with Fantastico. WordPress is one of the blog systems available for easy installation (a few clicks), and it seemed like the best one. MT worked fine, too, but it is not open source and they have started with licence thingies.
I have used a number of tools in the past to include Blogger, Greymatter, and MT. All served their purpose but with Greymatter and MT, the constant rebuilding of pages everytime I had to make one tiny little adjustment was becoming tiresome. I then switched to pMachine. Liked it a lot but development was slow to non-existent (at the time at least). A good friend got me into trying WP and I have been with it ever since. Customizing is a breeze and it was easy to learn. Gotta love it!

Brief Synopsis
Since the mid-1990s, the concept of strategic asymmetry has begun to receive serious attention from the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). The 1997 Quadrennial Defense Review, for instance, stated, "U.S. dominance in the conventional military arena may encourage adversaries to use . . . asymmetric means to attack our forces and interests overseas and Americans at home." But while American strategists and defense leaders sense the importance of strategy asymmetry, much analytical work remains to be done before it is fully understood. The author assesses the revisions to Joint Vision 2020, DOD's roadmap to the future, that must be undertaken in order to prepare for asymmetric challenges.

Bullies Prey on the Weak, but Both Suffer
Dec. 8, 2003 -- Schoolyard bullies may be mentally stronger than their prey, but both groups suffer from serious psychological problems that may put them at risk.
A new study shows nearly a quarter of urban sixth graders were involved in bullying either as perpetrators, victims, or both, and these students had more school problems and difficulties getting along with their classmates.
For example, even though bullies are perceived as "cool" among their classmates, they rarely enjoy their company.
"Specifically, bullies are psychologically stronger than classmates not involved in bullying, and they enjoy high social status among their classmates (although the classmates tend to avoid their company)," write researcher Jaana Juvonen, PhD, of the University of California, Los Angeles, and colleagues. "Victims, on the other hand, suffer not only emotional distress but also social marginalization (ie, classmates avoid them, and they have low social status)."
Researchers say the findings highlight the need to change attitudes about bullying and make it "uncool."
The Bullies vs. the Bullied
The study, which appears in the December issue of Pediatrics, involved 1,985 mostly black and Latino students who attended 11 middle schools in the Los Angeles area and included information on peer reports of bullying as well as self-reports on bullying and victimization and teacher-reported adjustment problems.
Researchers say it's the largest study on bullying and victimization in a large group of ethnically diverse urban students.
The study showed that 22% of the students were involved in bullying with 7% classified as bullies, 9% as victims, and 6% as both.
Researchers found that among those involved in bullying, the bullies had the fewest adjustment problems. But those who both bully and are bullied may suffer the most.
"They are by far the most socially ostracized by their peers, most likely to display conduct problems, least engaged in school, and they also report elevated high levels of depression and loneliness," write the researchers.
Researchers say that prior studies had unexpectedly found that bullies and their victims suffered from fairly similar psychological problems, including depression, but they relied on self-reports of bullying. But because this study also included other students' and teachers' reports of bullying behavior, a clearer picture emerged.
Researchers say that although the two groups share some common characteristics, such as being unengaged in school activities, they are still very distinct and different intervention strategies are needed.

Pumpkin Puree
Total Time
Prep 0 mins
Cook 0 mins
Ingredients Nutrition
- Preheat oven to 350*F.
- Cut pumpkin into wedge and clean out seeds and stuff.
- Place on jelly roll pan skin side down.
- Cook a 3 Lb. pumpkin for about 1 hour or until it's can be poked with a fork.
- Peel or cut outer peel and put in food possess until pureed measuring the same as canned.
Most Helpful
I so prefer this way to the boiling method. Also, If you hate handling the seeds and slimy gunk inside the pumpkin just use your pasta scooper, claw type spoon with slots, to remove most of it. I simply cut my pumpkins in half and laid them open side down to bake. then I scooped the cooked flesh out- very easy!! I wait for the pumpkins to go on sale then make mass amounts of puree and store in the freezer, cause I heard you can't can pumpkin unless you have a pressure canner. Thanks for posting!
Great instructions!
Just the recipe I needed. Even made my own pumpkin pie!

 EcoServants Applcation
A Summer Story-2011
Working mainly in Fort Stanton, trail crew has been one of the most fun experiences I have had in Ruidoso. When over twenty young adults come together and have nothing but each other in the middle of nowhere, magic happens. We are given hand tools such as Pulaskis, Mattocks, and McLeods which are powered by the vibrance of the youth. In an overall picture of the year, EcoServants has hired forty-two young adults, all who will work in the field of trail building for at least two months. We call this crew of brilliance our YCC, Youth Conservation Corp, crew.
In just the past year we have built and restored twenty miles of trail. One of our biggest supporters is the Bureau of Land Management. We work together in Fort Stanton the majority of the time, helping to manage and restore their sixty miles of trail. We also help the B.L.M. to manage the Fort Stanton Cave by leading educational trips and completing restoration projects on broken formations that have gone with disregard from visitors. At the end of the summer '09 the BLM purchased a Ditch Witch that can easily build 1 mile of trail in a day.
In the spring crew the YCC crew built six and a half miles of beautiful trail on Sierra Blanca. Also in the spring we finished the trail around Grindstone Lake used for the Triathlon hosted by the Ruidoso Athletic Club. For those of you who havenât noticed, we have been doing continual maintenance on the Grindstone Frisbee Golf Course and Gavilian Canyon Road for about two years now by cutting out all of the invading musk thistle.
EcoServants does not only help to make Lincoln County a more accessible, beautiful place, this non-profit also gives our youth the importance and motivation they need to have within themselves. Many young lives have been improved through EcoServants. Some youth who thought it never possible to go to college, not only got a scholarship, but also started off with at least two college credits. Please continue to support what not only this county, but our youth needs too.
