Texas Department of Criminal Justice
The Correctional Managed Health Care Committee (CMHCC) is authorized by Chapter 501, Subchapter E of the Texas Government Code. The CMHCC was originally established by the 73rd Legislature in 1993 to address the rising costs and operational challenges involved in providing health care to prisoners confined in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ).
Organizationally, the CMHCC is composed of nine voting members and one nonvoting member as follows:
The CMHCC coordinates the development of statewide policies for the delivery of correctional health care and serves as a representative forum for decision making in terms of overall health care policy. CMHCC representatives are empowered by their respective organizations to represent them on health care matters and make decisions that are binding on their organizations. The shared communication, coordination, decision making, and dispute resolution roles performed by the committee are key elements to the ongoing success of the correctional health care partnership.
The correctional health care system represents a unique collaboration between the state's prison system and two of its leading health sciences centers. This health care partnership between the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ), Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) and the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) is operated under the guidance and direction of the CMHCC. The primary purpose of the CMHCC partnership is to ensure that TDCJ offenders have access to quality health care while managing costs.
This material is designed to acquaint new CMHCC members with the operations of the CMHCC. In addition, educational material relating to the requirements of the open meetings, and ethics laws of the State are included. This material is intended to be a ready reference which will be updated periodically as necessary.
Each member of the Committee is required by the CMHCC's enabling legislation to review and achieve an understanding of the information included in this reference prior to participating in CMHCC meetings (Section 501.140, Texas Government Code).
The correctional health care system represents a partnership between Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Through the leadership of the CMHCC, the following shared mission, vision, values and goals are set for this partnership:
The mission of the Correctional Managed Health Care Committee is to develop a statewide managed health care plan that provides TDCJ offenders with timely access to quality health care while also controlling costs.
The CMHCC is an organization that is committed to excellence; strives to set national standards in correctional medicine; focuses on building and maintaining open communications; and, serves as a model for inter-governmental cooperation.
|The CMHCC strives to provide health care services of recognized high quality and deliver them uniformly, promptly and efficiently within the limits of appropriated resources.
|The CMHCC strives to uphold the public's trust through ethical and accountable personal and professional behavior.
|The CMHCC is dedicated to restoring and preserving the health of TDCJ offenders.
|The CMHCC recognizes that our mission and goals are achieved through teamwork, with each partner fully participating and contributing to the organization and sharing in its success.
The CMHCC recognizes that a key challenge for correctional health care is to maintain appropriate levels of access to medically necessary health care for offenders, in the face of an unprecedented growth of the criminal justice system.
The CMHCC is committed to a program of continuous improvement that assures the services delivered are of high quality and consistent with community standards.
The CMHCC is dedicated to the development of initiatives to control the cost of delivering health care, to the extent possible, while remaining loyal to the goals of ensuring access to quality health care. The CMHCC works to anticipate changes in standards of care or demographics which may modify resource needs.
The Texas Correctional Managed Health Care innovative partnership exemplifies the success possible by redefining traditional roles. It represents a unique collaboration between the state's prison system, two leading health science centers, and a number of community hospitals.
In 1993, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ), the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) at Galveston and the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) joined forces to form the Correctional Managed Health Care Advisory Committee (CMHCAC). Subsequently amended through refinement of its legislative authority as the Correctional Managed Health Care Committee (CMHCC), the CMHCC has developed a statewide provider network to provide medical services to TDCJ offenders. Its primary purpose is to improve access to quality health care while containing cost by maximizing the use of the state's medical schools, securing efficiencies through improved intergovernmental collaboration and using managed care tools.
In Texas prior to the implementation of the program, costs for prison medical care had been increasing at a rate of 6% per year and represented 10 – 14% of the state prison system's operating costs. Additionally, in response to overcrowding, Texas had embarked upon an aggressive prison construction program that would soon confine nearly 150,000 offenders. Since many new prison locations were in rural areas, the economic problems faced by rural hospitals further impacted upon the state's ability to provide cost-effective health care. Traditional delivery systems were also strained by increased rates of infectious diseases such as HIV, Hepatitis C and tuberculosis.
From its inception the Correctional Managed Health Care program has operated as a cooperative partnership between TDCJ, UTMB and Texas Tech. This partnership is embodied in the legislation that formed the committee and included equal representation from each entity. The Correctional Managed Health Care Committee (CMHCC) is established by the provisions of Section 501, Subchapter E of the Texas Government Code. This legislation originally enacted by the 73rd Legislature and amended and re-authorized by the 76th and 83rd Legislatures in response to Sunset reviews provides the structure for the correctional health care system now in place.
This partnership significantly changed how medical care is delivered in the TDCJ. Traditionally offender health care was provided by employees of the prison system and through fee-for-service arrangements with hospital providers. These arrangements offered little incentive to control costs. Under the managed health care plan, complete medical services are provided through contracts with state medical school universities. TDCJ contracts with the UTMB and TTUHSC for the provision of health care services. The offenders for which UTMB and TTUHSC receive payment are determined by the geographic location of the prison units. TTUHSC contracts with the TDCJ for defined regions in West Texas, approximately 22% of the offenders. UTMB contracts for nearly all the remaining defined geographic regions; approximately 78% of the offenders. The TDCJ Health Services Division retains the functions of preventive medicine, offender Step II medical grievances, health services operational reviews, health services quality monitoring, and coordination of offender medical transfers.
UTMB and Texas Tech are responsible for the provision of medically necessary health care services. Responsibilities include recruiting and hiring health care personnel to staff the prison medical departments, diagnosing prisoners' health problems, and providing treatment or making referrals to specialists. These services include unit primary care services, all specialty care services, all pharmaceuticals, community provider outpatient and ancillary services, and all in-patient hospital services. Both UTMB and TTUHSC enter into subcontracts with community providers to provide locally based services when they determine such action is warranted.
Beginning January 1, 1996, UTMB and TTUHSC assumed operational responsibilities for all TDCJ mental health services in their respective university sectors. All psychiatrists and former TDCJ mental health staff were transitioned to the university systems.
These arrangements provide incentives for controlling utilization and generate an increased interest in preventative care. Use of telemedicine and most recently, electronic medical record technologies also enable cost-effective access to specialty care.
The CMHC partnership has resulted in lower medical costs. It has also resulted in the establishment of a statewide network of health care providers and a uniform standard of care. While maintaining a commitment to accreditation and significantly improving access to care, the Texas State Comptroller has estimated that the correctional health care partnership saved the taxpayers of Texas at least $125 million over its first five years. It also serves as a model of intergovernmental collaboration for other states to use to manage access, quality and cost of correctional health care.
In fiscal year 2005, medical costs were about $6.80 per offender per day. In FY 1993, prior to the implementation of the managed health care system, those costs were $5.99 per offender per day. On a per capita basis this represents an increase of about 1% per year over that time frame, compared to the 6% a year increase experienced prior to implementing the program. An independent actuarial review conducted in October 2002 found that correctional health care costs are approximately 44% lower than comparably adjusted public sector HMO's in Texas (when age, population and patient acuity factors are taken into account).
At the same time, health care provider vacancy rates dropped significantly; the average number of days spent waiting for a specialty clinic appointment dropped by over 50%; access to care indicators show marked improvement and every TDCJ health care facility has received national accreditation. Since the implementation of the managed care system, and based on an independent review of medical records conducted by the Texas State Auditor in 1998, access to care compliance improved 27.7%, clinical encounter compliance increased by 35.7% and most dramatically, chronic care compliance rose 158%. In all, twenty-two individual performance indicators showed statistically significant gains.
The managed care partnership has also implemented a series of disease management guidelines. A retrospective review conducted in FY2002 indicates that overall compliance with key disease indicators rose from 40.1% in 1995 to 91.3% in 2001. That same review noted improvements in health outcomes including a 17% decrease in fasting glucose values among insulin dependent diabetics, a 19% decrease in the LDL cholesterol values of patients with hyperlipidemia and a 114% increase in the number of hypertensive patients with controlled blood pressures.
It is also important to note that these positive results were obtained at the same time that the correctional population served more than doubled.
In 1995, the CMHCAC partnership was awarded Special Mention by the National Managed Health Care Congress in their annual Astra Merck/NMHCC Partnership Award program. Even though the program traditionally focused on private sector partnerships, the judges noted that the TDCJ-CMHCAC partnership "does reflect the innovative spirit celebrated by the awards, and therefore grabbed our attention as deserving of a special mention."
In 1996, the correctional pharmacy program was awarded the "Innovative Practice Award" by the Texas Society of Health-Systems Pharmacists.
In 1997, the James Byrd Diagnostic Unit in Huntsville was selected from over 400 nationally accredited facilities nationwide as the National Commission on Correctional Health Care's "Facility of the Year." Four of the top five finalists selected for the award were Texas facilities.
In 1998, the Texas correctional health care program was recognized by the American Correctional Association as one of the nation's "Best Practices."
In 1999, the federal court that for years had oversight of Texas prisons released the medical care issues from federal supervision recognizing that "there can be no doubt that the vast improvements in TDC's provision of medical and psychiatric care to inmates have been made…there are now two of the state's finest medical teaching institutions, The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston and Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, giving treatment to inmates."
In June of 2001, the federal court relinquished the State of Texas from all remaining federal oversight, including the issue of providing mental health care services to offenders in administrative segregation.
The CMHCC partners believe that the results of their cooperative venture represent long-term benefits to the state and each respective partner. The partnership emphasizes "win-win" scenarios where the motivations for the participation of each partner are recognized and addressed. The criminal justice agency is seeking quality, cost-effective health services. The universities are seeking teaching and placement opportunities as well as financial support. The participating hospitals are seeking financial stability. By understanding these motivating factors and integrating them into the work of the partnership, a successful venture has been formed.
Key events relating to the development of the CMHCC are summarized by the timeline below:
To accomplish the mission of the Correctional Managed Health Care Committee (CMHCC), the partners have agreed to the assignment of various functional responsibilities to each of the partner agencies. The following narrative descriptions are intended to further clarify the roles and responsibilities of the Correctional Managed Health Care partners. The mission of the Correctional Managed Health Care Committee is to develop a statewide managed health care plan that provides TDCJ offenders with timely access to quality health care while also controlling costs.
By sharing functional duties, the expertise of each partner contributes to a stronger delivery system and avoids unnecessary duplication of resources. Delineation of these responsibilities facilitates information sharing and increases understanding of the lines of communication. The fulfillment of individual responsibilities is assigned to the individual partner's management team and remains under the oversight of the respective Executive Director or University President and that partner's governing board.Collectively, the CMHCC, like TDCJ and the universities are responsible to the Legislature and Governor's Office.The CMHCC is also subject to the same oversight from the State Comptroller, State Auditor, and the Legislative and Governor's Budget Offices.
Each assigned function is briefly described below.

Romney taps Ryan as his running mate
NORFOLK, Va. – GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney made the long-awaited announcement Saturday that he has chosen Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan as his running mate, emphasizing Ryan's Midwestern roots and values.
"Paul Ryan works in Washington, but his beliefs remain firmly rooted in Janesville, Wis.," Romney said in a reference to Ryan's home in the critical swing state.
With a retired battleship — the USS Wisconsin— as their backdrop, Romney and Ryan shook hands and embraced after Romney mistakenly introduced the congressman as "the next president of the United States." Romney then corrected himself as Ryan stepped to the microphones.

INTERACTIVE: USA TODAY/Twitter Election Meter
VIDEO: Ryan a favorite of fiscal conservatives
Two hours before the event, the Romney campaign announced the pick through its "Mitt's VP" smartphone app early Saturday morning. The Associated Press, citing unnamed campaign aides, said Romney actually made his decision Aug. 1 but kept it quiet for 10 days.
Ryan, 42, is best known as the chairman of the House Budget Committee and author of a dramatic plan to overhaul Medicare, the government-run health insurance program for senior citizens.
And while Romney said Ryan is well-respected, even by Democrats, and doesn't "demonize" his opponents, Ryan hit partisan notes in his speech.
"Following four years of failed leadership, the hopes of our country, which have inspired the world, are growing dim. They need someone to revive them. Governor Romney is the man for this moment. And he and I share one commitment: We will restore the dreams and greatness of this country," Ryan said. "President Obama, and too many like him in Washington, have refused to make difficult decisions because they are more worried about their next election than they are about the next generation."
Ryan also touched on a favorite GOP campaign theme. "I'm proud to stand with a man who understands what it takes to foster job creation in our economy, someone who knows from experience, that if you have a small business — you did build that," he said, a line followed by a cheer from the crowd.
The line echoed a theme from Romney ads and speeches attacking Obama for saying about business owners: "You didn't build that."
Democrats say Obama was taken out of context — he was discussing the infrastructure such as roads and technology that support those businesses.
Ryan, who began his work in politics when he was 22, cited his history in Washington as a strength.
"I believe that my record of getting things done in Congress will be a very helpful complement to Governor Romney's executive and private sector success outside of Washington. I have worked closely with Republicans as well as Democrats to advance an agenda of economic growth, fiscal discipline and job creation."
With Ryan as his running mate, Romney appears ready to have a national conversation about federal spending and the growth of entitlements with one of the GOP's leading budget authorities at his side.
Ryan, a House member since 1999, has proposed to dramatically change both Medicare and Medicaid, the programs that have been a hallmark of the nation's compact to provide health care to senior citizens and the poor.
In March, Ryan led House Republicans in releasing a budget plan that would repeal Obama's health care law, cut billions in spending and overhaul the federal tax code in order to reduce — but not eliminate — the federal deficit over the next 10 years.
Ryan said at the time that the proposal was philosophically rooted in reducing Americans' reliance on the federal government. "It's about turning our system that has become a dependent culture into an upward mobile society, getting people back onto lives of self-sufficiency," he said.
Ryan's budget plan has been widely criticized by Obama and his fellow Democrats, who contend it would "end Medicare as we know it." In a speech in April, Obama called it "thinly veiled social Darwinism."
The Ryan plan would restructure Medicare for future beneficiaries to allow those 55 and younger to opt out of the system and purchase private insurance with a federal subsidy.
In a document prepared for surrogates speaking on behalf of the GOP ticket, the campaign made clear that Romney's choice of Ryan was not a wholesale endorsement of everything in Ryan's budget.
"Gov. Romney applauds Paul Ryan for going in the right direction with his budget, and as president he will be putting together his own plan for cutting the deficit and putting the budget on a path to balance," the talking points say.
The memo adds that Ryan's Medicare proposal is not a negative for the GOP team because "Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan have a bipartisan plan to strengthen Medicare by giving future seniors the choice between traditional Medicare and a variety of private plans. They are committed to ensuring that Medicare remains strong, not just for today's seniors, but for tomorrow's seniors as well."
Paul Branum, 54, a government comptroller from Virginia Beach, was one of thousands of people gathered here to cheer the two men.
"I think it's a good pick," Branum said. "He's got the budget background that we are going to need to go forward for the next four years. He clearly is better at policy then the other people that were (considered)."
Branum said Ryan's experience inside Congress would "absolutely" help the ticket, despite the anti-Washington sentiment.
"I think he knows how Congress works, he's been there for a while and you are going to need that to work policy through Congress," he said.
Romney had announced that Saturday's Norfolk event would kick off a four-day bus tour of swing states that will also include North Carolina, Florida and Ohio. A campaign adviser told reporters Ryan will join the bus trip through Virginia and North Carolina.
Camia reported from Washington.

The Hudson River School is America's first major art movement,
having dominated American visual arts for over 50 years with over
100 artists between 1825 and 1875. The scenes on the Hudson River
School painters' canvases, now hanging in major museums all over
the world, are the views that surround us here in the Hudson
Valley. Many of the views remain remarkably unchanged since the
19th-century, and are instantly recognizable as the scenes depicted
in the paintings. In 2005, the Thomas Cole National Historic Site
officially unveiled the first phase of the Hudson River School Art
Trail project, which maps the painting sites of 19th-century artist
Thomas Cole and his contemporaries including Frederic Church,
Jasper Cropsey, Sanford Gifford, and Asher B. Durand. Forming the

2013 Men's CSA Team Championships Brackets
PHILADELPHIA – The No. 12 Penn men's squash team (4-10, 1-6 Ivy) will begin its Hoehn Cup championship defense this weekend when it faces 13th-ranked Western Ontario (16-3) on Friday at noon at the Yale squash courts in New Haven, Conn. The Quakers and Mustangs have combined to win the past four B Division championships.
The Red and Blue trail Western Ontario, 11-3, in the all-time series, but have split the last four meetings. The last time these two programs met was on Feb. 27, 2011 in the Hoehn Cup final. The Mustangs won the title, 7-2, against a 10th-ranked Penn team with four current Quakers on it – Danny Greenberg, Daniel Judd, John Dudzik and Justin Ang.
Last season, Penn won its third Hoehn Cup in program history and second in three years. The Quakers defeated Columbia, 8-1, winning five matches in straight games, 3-0. Should the Red and Blue emerge victorious on Friday, its most likely semifinal opponent will be an Ivy rival, No. 9 Dartmouth (7-8, 2-5). The Big Green defeated Penn in Philadelphia on Jan. 13, 8-1, with the Quakers' lone win coming from No. 8 Tyler Odell in five games.
There will be daily updates of Penn's progress at the Hoehn Cup Championship on PennAthletics.com.
Below is the projected ladder for the Hoehn Cup:
No. 1: Danny Greenberg (3-11, 0-7)
No. 2: Derek Chilvers (3-11, 1-6)
No. 3: John Dudzik (3-11, 1-6)
No. 4: Augie Frank (3-11, 1-6)
No. 5: Liam Quinn (5-9, 1-6)
No. 6: Michael Mutscheller (1-10, 0-4)
No. 7: Jack Maine (7-7, 3-4)
No. 8: Tyler Odell (9-5, 4-3)
No. 9: Daniel Judd (9-5, 4-3)

REDLANDS - In this week's video interview, I sit with Nelda Stuck, Our Town editor for more than 20 years, who settled in Redlands after traveling with her husband, who was in the Air Force.
"If you're not born in Redlands, you're not a Redlander. Even if you came here at 5 years old, you're still apologetically not a Redlander," Stuck said.
Her area of focus was the impact of women in Redlands history. Stuck notes the period in the 1980s when service clubs in town began to allow women to join for legal reasons.
"I felt my job during that time was to write women back into history," she said. "I have to say I was encouraged by Larry Burgess doing the same thing."
At one time Stuck created a quilt featuring the signatures of people who made a difference of Redlands, which is shown in the video. It was inspired by a signature page in a book by former Facts Publisher Bill Moore. She got 260 signatures, and says in the recording that of those, "this week, the 81st person has died," referring to Redlands High School counselor Billie Daniel.
Since she retired, Stuck has been working to get a museum of town history going. The inventory is currently in storage, and the Redlands Historical Museum Association, which she helped found, is looking for a facility to display it. She tells the story of the battle for a site.
Stuck, who was a reporter for the Facts during the city's centennial, recalls in the video some of the interviews she did for the celebration. This year she is on the 125th anniversary committee.
She gives viewers a preview of the commemorative spoon that will be available for the quasquicentennial.

Steve Aoki raises $65,000 for health and research organizations
Listen to Steve Aoki on iHeartRadio
It's nice to see artists use their powers for good. Steve Aoki has raised over $65,000 to donate to multiple health and research organizations.
Through his recent Aokify America North American Tour, the Grammy-nominated producer/DJ, via his Steve Aoki Charitable Fund, was able to donate $1 to four healht and research organizations - which fans were encouraged to vote for.
[Listen to Dim Mak Radio every Thursday at 10 p.m. ET on Evolution]
The funds went to the Brain Preservation Foundation, The University of Rochester Medical Center Memory Care Program, American Brain Foundation, and Infusio.
In a statement the Dim Mak leader says, "My philanthropy work is just as important to me as my music. I've been involved with many charities and non-profit organizations throughout my career, and I always take the time to give back and volunteer when I can. These four organizations represent the best in what they do, and I'm stoked to be working with them."
Congratulations to Steve, keep up the great work!

Zach Johnson
Zach Johnson winning the Masters Tournament in 2007 was the answer to a bold prayer made by PGA Tour chaplain Larry Moody. He prayed that a Christian would win and give glory to God, said Ben Crane, a Christian Tour player. That is what happened when, on Easter Sunday, Johnson won the Masters and immediately thanked his Master, Jesus Christ. In front of international press, he announced, "My goal was to glorify God, and hopefully I did that."
Johnson getting to this point was an act of God. He started out an eager, poor novice. He settled in Florida to improve his game, but God had even greater plans for him.
Growing up in church, Johnson knew about God and faith. What he lacked was a personal relationship with Christ. He didn't realize this until pre-marital counseling with his wife Kim (who he met in Florida). It was during this time that he truly met Christ.
He is now a faithful Christian with a large platform for sharing his faith. He may or may not win another major tournament, but he knows that whatever happens is in God's plan,

I am new in HTML5 use, I don't know how to use audio/video tag . can any one tell me how to use audio/video tag.
Hi there,
Welcome to the forums
This is a very generic question, so next time please try using Google first.https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Using_HTML5_audio_and_video
Yeah i help you First one is for video : <video width="300" height="290" controls><source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4"> </video> and nest one for audio :<audio controls> <source src="song.mp3" type="audio/mpeg"></audio>
For video use:
<video width="300" height="200" poster="movie.jpg" controls>
<source src='movie.mp4' type='video/mp4; codecs="avc1.4D401E, mp4a.40.2"'>
<source src='movie.webm' type='video/webm; codecs="vp8.0, vorbis"'>
<source src='movie.ogv' type='video/ogg; codecs="theora, vorbis"'>
<object data="flashmovie.swf" width="300" height="200" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
<param name="src" value="flashmovie.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
<param name="pluginurl" value="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">

Fallback content for browsers that don't support either video or flash goes here.

That way you allow for the different video formats that different browsers support and have a flash fallback for browsers that don't recognise the video tag and another fallback for browsers that don't support any type of video including flash.
there is the audio code of html5<audio controls> <source src="horse.ogg" type="audio/ogg"> <source src="horse.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">Your browser does not support the audio element.</audio>
HTML5 is a good concept but there is a problem: you have to save your video to at least 3 or 4 different formats. I would advise you to use flash (if you can) cause it's much easier to integrate it with websites.
You can pretty much get away with just using H264 encoded mp4s these days, perhaps with a WebM version thrown in for good measure. (That's as long as you don't care about IE8 and under, which have a low user base nowadays).
i threw an mp3 onto a page on my server, coded up a simple (one source one container) audio tag. Controls appear, but nothing is interactive, and nothing plays (well, Opera, my oldest browser, who doens't support mp3 yet... opens Rythmbox and plays the file from there, which is cute). Nothing in the general how-to's mention this, despite the browsers I'm testing in being new, supporting the elements, and supposedly supporting the mp3-- audio/mpeg formats and MIMEs.
Which how-tos do you mean?
According to HTML5Please, the best option is to supply two audio formats—Ogg and AAC. They link to this page: https://www.scirra.com/blog/44/on-html5-audio-formats-aac-and-ogg
According to the how-to's (the good ones anyway) we should do it as felgall mentioned above.
AAC is just supposedly a better version of mp3, but I didn't make this file and I don't own any converters. I'm solely testing the HTML part here.
All I'm looking at is making this work on chromium (could this be different from chrome?) who should work with the code here http://stommepoes.nl/downloadtest.html (the picture is a different thing I wrote for someone on SO, so I'm only referring to the audio controls underneath).
There must be something wrong with that, yet it matches the most basic setups listed by places like HTML5doctor (so, without all the fallbacks I shouldn't need anyway for the browsers I'm testing in).
Honestly the mp3 came from work and I'm thinking of telling them to just use Flash anyway, since old IE is indeed an issue for us. But I was hoping to see fancy HTML5 audio working out of the box first.
Does anyone use Chromium? I don't know much about it, but I never see it listed in browser stats. The audio works fine in Chrome for me, with controls and all.
I have no idea who uses Chromium. It used to be Chrome without the Google Spyware but there's still a lot of built-in Googley stuff in there.
I also have SWIron on the Windowses in my VMs.
The below code is use to insert the sudio tag in HTML pages of your website
You use the <audio> tag just like you use any other element:
<audio autoplay="autoplay" controls="controls">
<source src="music.ogg" />
<source src="music.mp3" />
Output : http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c8/Example.ogg

'American Currents: The Music of 2016' Hall of Fame Exhibit Opens
American Currents: The Music of 2016, opened at the Country Music Hall of Fame last week.
Florida Georgia Line's contribution to the exhibit is the racing suits they wore in the video they shot with Tim McGraw for "May We All."
"They did a great job. It really took us back to that day. That video, that song, that moment of acting that we got to live out. Getting to work with Tim--everything that kind of song encompasses we got to relive through the exhibit and look forward to our fans coming to check it out," says Tyler Hubbard.
The exhibit has artifacts on display from Dolly Parton, Jason Aldean, Brett Eldredge, Randy Travis and more.

Living life on the edge takes Russell Westbrook everywhere imaginable.
The Oklahoma City Thunder guard flies all over the court with bursts of speed that leave his opponents gasping for breath. The Thunder guard scowls, screams and mimics drawing pistols from imaginary holsters after a made basket.
Westbrook's endless motor gives a new visual image of the Energizer bunny that keeps going and going.
"That helps me a lot," Westbrook said. "I try to bring it and help my team gets wins."
When the Lakers (30-30) visit the Oklahoma City Thunder (43-16) tonight at Chesapeake Energy Arena, Westbrook will be only two days removed from securing a signature victory against the Clippers where he took control of the game in the final minutes.
Westbrook stemmed off the Clippers' late comeback by delivering what he does best.
Westbrook blew by a group of defenders for a layup. He set up Serge Ibaka for an open shot. Westbrook then secured the win by swishing a baseline jumper.
Behind Westbrook's 23.4 points-per-game average (first among NBA point guards) and 7.9 assists (fourth overall), teammates and opponents attribute such numbers to the former UCLA and Leuzinger High product's unyielding edge.
"He plays with a chip on his shoulder. He plays aggressive all the time," Lakers guard Kobe Bryant said. "He keeps everybody intense and keeps everybody aggressive."
Westbrook's demeanor produces some unwanted side effects, though.
His questionable shot selection has prompted Thunder coach Scott Brooks to sit Westbrook in his five NBA seasons. After Westbrook fired a wild shot in a regular-season game this season against Memphis, his reactions proved even more erratic. Westbrook yelled at teammate Thabo Sefolosha. Westbrook's anger level remained at a boiling point when Thunder assistant coach Maurice Cheeks tried counseling him. Westbrook then knocked over a chair and stormed off the court.
"He's the player he is, and you have to take the good with the bad," Sefolosha said. "At the same time, you have to grow up as a player. If you make one mistake, you have to correct it and move on."
Westbrook even exhibited aggression on Rocky, the Denver Nuggets' mascot. Rocky attempted a half-court shot in between quarters during a game Jan. 20. Westbrook raced over to the basket and blocked both attempts. The antic robbed the mascot's fun and the chance for Nuggets fans to win free chips and queso.
So they booed.
When Westbrook returned Friday to Pepsi Arena, the boos continued.
Westbrook answered by dropping a season-high 38 points on 12-of-23 shooting with a dazzling array of drives to the basket and pull-up jumpers.
"I didn't pay no mind to it," said Westbrook, who was born in Long Beach.
The Thunder say they feel the same way about Westbrook's antics. They see them as harmless as his unique attire that has included tight capri pants, striped shirts and framed glasses.
"I like his swag. It's different," Thunder center Kendrick Perkins said. "Russell takes the most criticism on this team that I've seen from anybody in the NBA and he handles it well. I never see him get down. I think that motivates him to come out and do more."
That's why coaches and teammates believe Westbrook's edginess won't push him over the cliff.
"He wants to win so badly," Thunder forward Kevin Durant said. "We have a guy that's pushing that hard and working so hard. It's kind of contagious.
"He's such a great teammate. You don't see him or hear him talk about wanting to be the best point guard or being one of the best players in the league. He just tries to go out there and prove it."
In many ways, Westbrook has done that beyond compiling an Olympic gold medal, 24 postseason wins and three NBA All-Star Game appearances.
Emotions ran high after Ibaka earned a flagrant 1 foul after hitting Clippers forward Blake Griffin in the groin area Sunday. The Clippers parlayed that into a seven-point play to take a 100-99 lead with 1:30 remaining.
But then Westbrook huddled his teammates together.
"Stay focused, man," Westbrook said he told his teammates. "They're going to make a run, just keep your composure and stay focused and know the job at hand."
Westbrook looked focused, particularly when he nailed the 16-foot jumper that gave the Thunder a four-point lead with 26 seconds remaining. After the shot went in, Westbrook glared at his dad in the stands.
"I was looking at my dad because I missed this corner baseline shot a couple of years back" in Game 6 of Oklahoma City's first-round playoff series in 2010 against the Lakers, Westbrook said. "I'll always remember I missed a baseline shot, and every time we work out in the summertime we always talk about hitting that shot and I hit it."
With that, Westbrook has channeled his edginess to enhance his development, a never-ending quest that has propelled him to reach the next level of greatness.

Template:InfoBoxA Pokémon Connoisseur is a person that tests the connection between trainer and Pokémon. There are four ranks; S, A, B, and C, with C being the lowest while S is the highest rank. In the anime, Cilan and Burgundy are known to be Pokémon Connoisseurs. Cilan is a rank A Connoisseur, while Burgundy is a rank C Connoisseur. Connoisseurs refer to their top Pokémon as their "premium brand" (Japanese: ビンテージ Vintage). Pansage is Cilan's premium brand and Sawsbuck is Burgundy's. It is shown in BW025 that Connoisseurs also use the premium brand term for other Trainer's Pokémon, as Cilan mentioned that Pikachu is Ash's premium brand and Axew is Iris's.
Only classes A and S are allowed to test the compatibility between Trainers and their Pokémon. Classes C and B are only allowed to assist these classes.
According to Cilan, the compatibility can't be determined "by the book", and all connections should be judged from each Pokémon's unique qualities.
Notable Connoisseur
- Cilan (A class)
- Burgundy (C class)
- Pinot Noir (A class)
- A female Connoisseur, like Burgundy, is called a Connoisseusse.
- All Pokémon Connoisseurs are implied to come from a wealthy household.

Brevard, N.C. - The Brevard College men's soccer team was unable to come out on top Tuesday evening when they squared off with the Cobras of Virginia Intermont College. Despite leading 2-1 with under 10 minutes remaining, the Tornados weren't able to come out victorious, falling 3-2.
The Tornados were dominant throughout most of the match, although they fell behind in the first half. Virginia Intermont took a 1-0 lead in the 18th minute of play. Marshall Phillips netted one at 18:42 to give the Cobras the first half lead, but Brevard didn't allow the score to remain as the match neared halftime.
Niclas Stolt (Kaarina, Finland) used a header to tie the match with just under five minutes remaining in the first half. Stolt's first goal of the season came off of a cross from Jaime Villacis (Miami, Fla.). It was Villacis' second assist of the season. The match headed into halftime all nodded-up at one goal a piece.
It took nearly 25 minutes in the second half before the tie was broken. It was Villacis that set-up another BC goal. His pass this time was led to the foot of Landon Reid (Shelby, N.C.) who put one past the Cobras' keeper at the 77:20 mark. It was Reid's first goal of 2010 and Villacis' third assist.
Just five minutes later Virginia Intermont was able to even up the score when they were awarded a penalty kick. Yannick Chiepodeu took the shot for Virginia Intermont and beat Brevard's keeper. It was only 53 seconds later that Joseph Gandara scored on a wide open net when Brevard's goalie was involved in a collision with a Virginia Intermont competitor. The goal gave the Cobras the 3-2 edge which held up as the final score of the match.
Ryan Bailey (Bostic, N.C.) started in net for the Tornados. It was his first start of the season and he lasted nearly the whole game. He made one save in the match. Pauli Jussila (Valkeakoski, Finland) retired Bailey in net after he collided with a Virginia Intermont athlete.
The Tornados outshot Virginia Intermont 26-11 and was able to rack up 13 more corner kicks winning in that category 14-1.
The Brevard men's soccer team will be in action at home again on Saturday, when they play host to their conference rival Carson-Newman. Kick-off is set for 4 p.m. at Brevard College Soccer Field.

Verizon is the #1 wireless phone service in the US (ahead of rival
AT&T Mobility
) and the #2 US telecom services provider overall (after
). The company's core mobile business,
Verizon Wireless
, serves about 113 million retail connections. Verizon's wireline unit, with more than 18 million voice connections (end of 2015), provides local telephone, long-distance, internet access, and digital TV services to residential and wholesale customers. In addition, Verizon offers a wide range of telecom, managed network, and IT services to commercial and government clients in more than 150 countries. Verizon has moved to expand its video and advertising capabilities with the acquisitions of
in 2015 and of
assets in 2016 for a total of some $9 billion.
The company's Verizon Wireless segment accounts for 70% of revenue. It operates one of the most extensive wireless networks in the US and the largest 4G LTE and third-generation Evolution-Data Optimized (EV-DO) networks. The 4G LTE network is available to more than 98% of the US population.
The wireline segment, some 30% of revenue, provides voice, data and video communications products and enhanced services, including broadband video and data, corporate networking services, data center and cloud services, security and managed network services and local and long distance voice services.
Geographic Reach
Verizon is all over the horizon, with offices in more than 150 countries; it operates 200 data centers in some 24 countries. The company conducts research at centers in San Francisco and Waltham, Massachusetts.
Sales and Marketing
Verizon sells its prepaid and postpaid wireless phone services through its website, its own stores, and national retailers such as
Best Buy
, and
. It also has a dedicated telemarketing sales force. In 2015 its average account paid $152.63 month, a 5% decrease from $159.80 a month in 2014.
The company is also a major advertiser, with a coordinated program of TV, print, radio, outdoor signage, Internet, and point-of-sale media promotions. Those Verizon ads, commercials, and other promotional vehicles cost the company $2.7 billion in and $2.5 billion in 2014.
Financial Performance
The company reported 2015 revenue of $131 billion, up 5% from 2014. Revenue from equipment sales, primarily smartphones, increased 54% in 2015, offsetting a decline in service revenue. Customers had paid higher service fees to buy phones at subsidized prices. But in 2015 Verizon, following other wireless carriers, shifted the costs to service and no longer subsidizes phones. Revenue from the wireline business decreased in 2015 due to a continued move away from traditional landline service. Verizon's FiOS digital cable service reported higher revenue.
Net income skyrocketed 85% higher to $17.8 billion in 2015 from $9.6 billion in 2014. Verizon has lower costs, which helped drive profit higher.
Cash from operations jumped to about $39 billion in 2015 from $31 billion in 2014.
With the acquisitions of Yahoo and AOL, Verizon is making a major push into mobile content. The acquisitions position Verizon as a top competitor to
in delivering mobile content and digital gaining advertising revenue. While loading up on content and advertising tools, Verizon must still manage the assets into a pattern of growth, something the previous owners of AOL and Yahoo had trouble doing.
In early 2015, the company sold wireline operations (including FiOS lines) in Texas, California, and Florida to
Frontier Communications
for about $10.5 billion. The deal sent 1.2 million FiOS Internet subscribers and 1.5 million FiOS video subscribers as wells as landline subscribers to Frontier. The operations had generated more than $5 billion in revenue for Verizon.
With a competitive eye toward the convergence of wireline communications and digital broadcasting services, Verizon has been building out its fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) network, which powers FiOS, at a cost of $18 billion to improve digital video transmission services and gain an edge on leading cable operators like
Time Warner Cable
. The upgraded network infrastructure replaces traditional copper network connections with fiber optics in order to increase broadband capacity.
The company bid more than $10 billion to win 181 spectrum licenses in a Federal Communications Commission auction.
Verizon is developing a 5G network, which would increase data speeds and reduce latency. It also continues to build its Internet of Things business, which contributed $690 million in revenue in 2015, 18% higher than 2014. The company is working with automakers such as Mercedes-Benz, part of
Daimler AG

Mergers and Acquisitions
Verizon has used the acquisition of regional mobile phone companies to transform itself from a purely wireline telephone company into a leading US wireless carrier and telecom services provider. It has responded to the migration of callers to cell phone and digital phone accounts (such as those offered by cable companies) by downsizing its consumer landline business and investing in enterprise customers. The landscape of today's Verizon is dominated by wireless, FiOS broadband, and global strategic services.
Verizon's acquisition of AOL provides the carrier with boosts in traffic for mobile and video as well as a strong presence in programmatic advertising. AOL's ad technologies are to enable Verizon to more precisely place ads in front of willing buyers. AOL also brought several high-profile content sites, including the
Huffington Post
, and
The Yahoo purchase brings some one billion users, including 600 million on mobile devices (according to Yahoo figures) to Verizon. The deal includes Yahoos news, finance, and sports websites as well as Flickr and Tumblr. Also important are the advertising assets that Brightroll, a programmatic ad platform; Flurry, a mobile apps analytics service; and Gemini, a native and search advertising service. Verizon was the winning bidder in a process that took several months to work through. In early 2017, Verizon lowered the amount it would for Yahoo by $350 million, bringing the deal to $4.48 billion. The move came after several hacking episodes exposed Yahoo to liabilities. As part of the rejiggered deal, the companies will split certain legal and financial liabilities.
In 2016 Verizon agreed to acquire Volicon, a provider of video capture, archival, compliance monitoring and clip creation workflow. The acquisition expands Verizon Digital Media Services as a provider of technology and media services for broadcast and online video.
In 2014 it sold spectrum licenses to
for $2.3 billion while at the same time picking up licenses on a different spectrum to add capacity to its 4G LTE (long-term evolution) network. In 2012 it paid $4 billion for spectrum licenses from Advanced Wireless Service to facilitate its 4G LTE network.

Boeing Co. technical workers voted Monday to accept the company's labor contract, bringing to an end nearly a year of contentious union negotiations for the jet maker.
Technical workers represented by the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace approved Boeing's offer by a margin of 4,244 to 654. This was the same contract that SPEEA technical workers rejected last month, when the union's engineers accepted Boeing's offer. Union leaders put the offer up to a vote again when Boeing negotiators refused to budge.
SPEEA represents 23,000 Boeing engineers and technical workers, who are responsible for designing and testing Boeing aircraft. About 4,900 of the union's 7,500 technical workers voted.
For Boeing, the favorable vote means it can now count on technical workers, as well as engineers, to help resolve 787 battery problems which grounded the fleet in January. The company is testing a redesigned battery with the hopes of returning the Dreamliner to passenger service.
"The votes by technical workers and engineers in recent weeks will allow us to come together and focus on the challenges and opportunities we face this year," Ray Conner, president of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, said in a statement.
The contract ratified Monday includes 5 percent annual increases to wage pools and maintains health care without increasing member contributions. The major change, opposed by SPEEA leaders, is to retirement. New workers will be enrolled in a 401(k) plan rather than a defined pension.
The switch could create difficulties for SPEEA officials in future negotiations. SPEEA leaders previously said they suspect Boeing will freeze contributions to the pension plan when the union has more members under the 401(k) plan than the pension. They've worried about having a two-tier membership.
SPEEA leaders, who had encouraged in February union members to reject Boeing's offer, emphasized the "gains" made since the company's first offer, which was rejected by both engineers and technical workers in October. Union leaders had warned technical workers earlier this month that a lengthy strike would be required to force Boeing to change its mind.
The pension remains a "sacred issue" for the local district of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, Boeing's other major union in the Puget Sound region, a Machinists spokeswoman said last week. The IAM's contract expires in 2016.

Has any other Georgetown graduate besides Megan Mylan (F'92) been nominated for an Academy Award?
Smile Pinki, directed by Megan Mylan (F'92), won an Academy Award in the Documentary Short category in February 2009. At least three other Georgetown graduates have been nominated, although none were in the Acting category. William Peter Blatty (C'50) won in 1973 in the category of Writing (Screenplay Based on Material from another Medium) for The Exorcist. The movie was based on his best-selling novel of the same name. Mr. Blatty also produced the movie, which was nominated for Best Picture but lost to The Sting. Parts of the movie were shot on the Georgetown campus in 1972. Several Jesuits and faculty members and scores of students served as extras, mainly in crowd scenes. Filming was done in and around Healy Hall, Old North, the Quadrangle, the track, Dahlgren Chapel and on the steps leading from Lauinger Library to 37th Street. Many interior scenes were shot in a wing added to the house at 3600 Prospect Street. In addition to Mr. Blatty, John Guare (C'60) was nominated in 1981 in the category of Writing (Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen) for Atlantic City and Jonathan ( Jonah) Nolan (C'99) was nominated in the same category in 2001 for Memento.

Virtuoso Wu Man to perform at university
Pipa virtuoso Wu Man will make two performances at the University of South Carolina: her debut at the Koger Center Thursday, Nov. 12, with the South Carolina Philharmonic and a solo recital Friday, Nov. 13, at the School of Music recital hall, part of the school's "Southern Exposure New Music Series."
The Thursday concert will feature a performance of the Tan Dun Pipa Concerto, an exploration of a 4,000-year-old Taoist funeral tradition in China. Tickets are $42, $34, $24, $16 and $12 and are available at www.capitoltickets.com or 803-251-2222. Student and military discounts are available.
Friday's performance, free and open to the public, will feature eight compositions that represent music from the 19th century to modern day by composers from China and Kyrgystan, including Wu Man herself, who has introduced the lute-like pipa to Western audiences since she moved to the U.S. from China in 1990.
Both performances are scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
The first artist from China to have performed at the White House, Wu Man incorporates contemporary music into her pipa performances and is a principal member of Yo-Yo Ma's Silk Road Project. She has collaborated and performed with the New York Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony, Boston Symphony and Los Angeles Philharmonic New Music Group, among other prestigious ensembles.
For more information on other "Southern Exposure" performances, contact John Fitz Rogers at 803-576-5753. For more information on Wu Man's performance with the South Carolina Philharmonic, contact Jason Rapp at 803-771-7937 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

if you want to learn some more. you should try to use the "read" command. this allows for input from the user. for example:
print "what is ur adapter called? example: wlan0, ath0, etc"
read $adapter
airmon-ng start $adapter
in this case $adapter == what ever the user enters as the adapter name.
btw my syntax might be wrong as im not in linux right now and havent scripted in bash for a little bit. but the basic idea is there. :P

Overall the price is what lets this game down, you cannot charge small peanuts for the app version then go and change 20 times that price to place it on the Xbox 360.
Super Gamer Dude
Xbox 360
Angry Bird Trilogy originally came out on the app phones and later made it way on the Xbox 360, most people online will be well aware on this game and how popular it became online as million upon millions of players decided to play it on the iPhone.
The aim of each level is to fire or rather catapult the angry bird in a location resulting in gaining points based on your accuracy of the sling, more accuracy results in a higher score unlocking potential achievements.
This is the trilogy set and is no different to that of one that was released on the iPhone, there are over 600 levels to wade through but fans who have played the originals already may not find enough satisfaction having already seen what needs to be done and the general scenery overall.
I would have expected given the cost of this game to further introduce more new levels, or better still a complete set of new levels given the amount of users who have already played the trilogy in extensive length. Or perhaps include the trilogy and offer more new levels on top, they decided against this and to be honest if you have already played the app games then this can be brushed aside.
I found some enjoyment here but nothing that astonishing, it was meant as an app game to pass the time away, rather than being slung on a console, to me it seemed that the only reason why it came to the console was because of the success of the app, rather than giving Angry Bird addicts something further and different.
Overall the price is what lets this game down, you cannot charge small peanuts for the app version then go and change 20 times that price to place it on the Xbox 360, not without adding more incentive and more different levels other than the original Angry Birds Trilogy which people have played extensively.

Dolly Parton Not Bringing Home Lost Dog From Glastonbury
Listen to Dolly Parton Radio on iHeartRadio
Dolly Parton admits she's disappointed that she won't be returning to the U.S. with a new four-legged friend. The country legend had planned to adopt a dog found by cleaning crews following the UK's Glastonbury festival, where Parton performed last month on her European tour. But the singer tells Country Weekly she's learned "the true owners did come forward."
Dolly explains that there was "a language barrier," but the dog was returned to them. Dolly adds that she'd been "looking forward" to bringing the dog back to Tennessee, and even had come up with a name. Parton says she was going to call it "Glassie," so she could yell "Glassie, come home" to get the dog to return after going out.
Heard about the abandoned dog at @GlastoFest? If nobody claims her, I'll take her home to America! Ain't she cute :) pic.twitter.com/mBZ41NUS9V
— Dolly Parton (@DollyParton) July 7, 2014
But Parton says she's had "an absolutely wonderful tour." She'll bring her trek to a close with an appearance at a festival in Switzerland on Monday. Dolly has been on the road in support of her latest album, Blue Smoke.

text: Never attempt to mix millimetric wheels and tires with standard inch rim wheels and tires. Always replace a tire on a rim with another tire of exactly the same rim diameter designation and suffix letters. For example: A 16" tire goes with a 16" rim. Never mount a 16" size diameter tire on a 16.5" rim. While it is possible to pass a 16" diameter tire over the lip of flange of a 16.5" size diameter rim, it can't be inflated enough to position itself against the rim flange. If an attempt is made to seat the tire bead by inflating, the tire bead will break with explosive force and could cause serious injury or death.

No more cracked cards
By Retro
from Phoenix, AZ
Finally a comfortable wallet that is large enough to hold everything you need but rigid so it prevents you from cramming receipts and everything else in your wallet until it's the size of a brick. This is slim and comfortable to carry and FINALLY no more bent or broken cards from being pressed together and bent. it also seals all the dirt out and floats all things that have cause me problems in the past. it also is different enough to be a great conversation starter which can be good or bad depending on the occasion. Overall couldn't be happier with this wallet. only negative is airports be ready to spend a few extra minutes explaining it to the TSA since it is a bit different and military looking.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Rough Around the Edges
By country boy
from OH
Pros: Nice sturdy wallet with plenty of space. Cool tools and great for extreme lifestyles.Cons: Not convenient to open. O-ring wouldn't stay put. Compass not consistent in orientation. Tools hard to extract (toothpick, pen, tweezers). Money clip holders not easy to slip objects in and out - the inserts come out easily, revealing the "hidden" compartments with ease.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
just o.k.
