eCompliance has dramatically increased adherence among tuberculosis (TB) patients who have to take up to 75 doses under observation of a health worker, over 6 months. eCompliance consists of a 7" Android tablet connected to a commercial finger print reader. The tablet has a SIM card, which communicates data to a server every 20 minutes, which then collates it in an Electronic Medical Record System (EMR). Every patient is registered in the tablet with fingerprints. The entire treatment algorithm is built in the tablet. When a patient misses a scheduled meeting with the health worker, an alert is sent to everyone including the patient (with prior permission), health worker and supervisor. The worker has to phone or meet the patient within 48 hours, provide the dose, provide further counseling and convince the patient to re-join the therapy. This meeting is recorded with simultaneous fingerprints of the patient and worker. eCompliance also records worker attendance and eliminates absenteeism. It also records geo-locations of patients/ workers. EMR collates all data and generates all reports automatically. eCompliance can be applied to any disease that needs long term care.

This includes algorithms for flood risk map generations and a web map application. OpenIR's initial validation case will take place in Indonesia. At the same time, OpenIR collaborates with FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) to determine additional validation and use case scenarios. OpenIR also works towards interfacing flood risk maps with crowd maps and allow global access to this data. OpenIR's initial component is a geo-server system that serves visible and infrared spectrum data into web map layers. Currently, the team runs tests on processing and serving data in-house and/or using data from Google's Earth Engine that will soon be available. The team created a prototype of a Risk Map Builder, which automatically generates a flood risk map for any given area. The goal is to expand the resolution based on additional inputs. OpenIR exists as a prototype that is currently undergoing user testing and data validation.

I am trying to resize images for smartphones such as the iPhone. When I view my site on a phone the images fail to resize. I have this code in my CSS. I am wondering though whether it is not specifically images that is causing the problem.
img {
width: 100%;
border: none;
No, it will not be the images it's definitely your CSS.
"img 100%" tells the browser to scale the image to fill all of the <div> that surrounds it.
Have you seen the Skeleton boiler plate system? It's a ready made blank templatethat automatically scales images and arranges text to fit any display screen.

Razer Forge TV isn't dead: OUYA integration incoming
The Android TV device Razer Forge TV has been getting some work done in the games department - so says Razer. They suggest that their purchase of the gaming system/company Ouya has allowed them to begin "doubling-down on Android gaming in the living room." As such, we'll expect that the current disappearance of available stock in the Google Store of this gaming TV bundle is just temporary. Once it returns to general sale, we'll more than likely see an upgraded collection of games available for the entire Android TV universe, as well.

This show came out and I loved it - although originally I felt I was watching a raunchier version of M*A*S*H. It did capture a lot of the magic of M*A*S*H but I would not say it copied it or was a knock-off. Somewhere along the line it did change and I found less interested in watching it and although I enjoyed the finale I did feel it was time for the show to end.
I liked Marg Helgenberger's character, I do think the character KC became too much of the show and would have enjoyed storylines about other character's more.

The brutal logic of Israel and Hezbollah goes like this: Inflict as many deaths on the enemy as possible in the next few days—in order to strengthen your hand before sitting down at the bargaining table.
Israeli warplanes repeatedly bombed Beirut's southern suburbs and Lebanon's southern and eastern regions on Monday, killing at least 15 people hours before Arab League foreign ministers were to meet for a hastily convened session.
Both sides appeared to take advantage of the days before a cease-fire resolution, formulated by the U.S. and France, is put to a vote in the U.N. Security Council. Hezbollah rocket launched its deadliest rocket barrage on Israel on Sunday, killing 12 Israeli soldiers and three civilians.
Israeli warplanes began carrying out a series of air raids on southern Lebanon early Monday.

Hillary Clinton may be the biggest frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination ever, but when it comes to drawing a crowd of supporters, Bernie Sanders is the real winner.
Sanders, a 73-year-old self-proclaimed democratic socialist who has been called an "unlikely" progressive alternative to Clinton, packed Madison's Alliant Energy Center with nearly 10,000 people this week.
"Tonight, we have more people at any meeting for a candidate of president of the United States than any other candidate," Sanders said while addressing the boisterous crowd. "Tonight, we have more people at any meeting for a candidate of president of the United States than any other candidate."
As it turned out, it wasn't a hyperbole. The venue reportedly seats 10,231 people and according to reporters covering the event, it was mostly full for the event.
In fact, not only was this the biggest rally to date for a progressive presidential candidate, it could possibly be the largest out of the entire 2016 cycle since Clinton's campaign launch was attended by almost 5,500 people on New York's Roosevelt Island while Jeb Bush's drew 3,000 supporters in Miami.

According to a recent CNN/WMUR New Hampshire Primary poll, "Clinton holds an 8-point edge over Sanders, with 43 percent behind Clinton and 35 percent backing Sanders. Vice President Joe Biden clocked in at 8 percent, with 2 percent or less supporting Martin O'Malley, Jim Webb and Lincoln Chafee."

Toys for Tots needs help
The Cape-Atlantic Marine Corps League has faced obstacles for its annual Toys for Tots campaign and seeks the community's involvement and the generosity of citizens to acquire and deliver toys to children this holiday season.

Low cost shingles vaccine available
The county is still offering the shingles vaccine at low cost for residents who don't have health insurance or who have health insurance that doesn't pay for the vaccine. There is no charge for the shingles vaccine itself. Uninsured and underinsured residents only pay a $15 administration fee.
A single dose of zoster (shingles) vaccine is recommended for adults 60 years of age and older, whether or not the patient reported a prior episode of shingles. Shingles is a localized, generally painful rash that occurs most frequently among older adults and immunocompromised people. It is caused by reactivation of the chickenpox virus.
For those who have health insurance but are unable to obtain the shingles vaccine at their doctor's office, the Department of Health can administer the vaccine to them for $175. Residents must pay for the vaccine out of pocket and submit the cost for reimbursement to their insurance carrier (i.e. Medicare Part D). Residents are encouraged to contact their insurer in advance to determine whether the vaccine is covered.
The shingles vaccination program is by appointment only and the patient needs a prescription from their physician to receive the vaccine. To schedule an appointment for the shingles vaccine, call 609-465-1200.

NEA Urges Caution in Evaluating NCLB Report Findings
CEP report citing gains in narrowing student learning gaps based on incomplete data
June 5, 2007
NEA Urges Caution in Evaluating NCLB Report Findings
CEP report citing gains in narrowing student learning gaps based on incomplete data
WASHINGTON—A report released today by the Center on Education Policy points out the glaring dissimilarities and discrepancies in the data necessary to accurately assess student achievement. Answering the Question that Matters Most: Has Student Achievement Increased Since No Child Left Behind? takes a comparative look at state test scores since 2002, the year NCLB was enacted. Including verifiable data from all 50 states, the report also looks at trends before and after NCLB was passed, eliminating data in grades and subjects where states have made significant changes to their assessment systems.
The National Education Association said the CEP report highlights a major shortfall of the current No Child Left Behind Act: the lack of comprehensive data from all states. The report concludes that while there is more evidence indicating that the achievement gaps have narrowed rather than widened since 2002, significant gaps remain in student learning. The report emphasizes that test data needed to prepare an accurate picture of achievement gains was not available in many states—in fact, only 13 states had sufficient trend score data to determine whether test scores increased more after NCLB than before, with only nine states showing such verifiable gains.
The following statement can be attributed to NEA President Reg Weaver:
"We applaud CEP in issuing the results of this important analysis of student test scores. Yet we should be cautious and remember that NCLB was not and is not the only education reform effort in place. States and local school boards have been working together for years with teachers and other educators in making significant progress to improve the quality of education that our children receive. If anything, this report should sound an alarm that we are drawing conclusions without all the facts. The report clearly indicates that given the current available data, 'an accurate and complete picture of NCLB is a moving target.' Essentially, the report reinforces that NCLB has done very little to improve accountability and not nearly enough to close the achievement gaps.
"Our students are looking to us to untangle the lines and clear the confusion. NCLB is not working as intended, and we must come together to find solutions—including smaller class sizes and an improved commonsense accountability system that measures schools and students on more than two statewide test scores. NEA's proposed recommendations to improve NCLB go a long way in providing lawmakers a reform plan that makes sense for all states and is in the best interest of all students. NCLB does little to provide states and local school boards the tools and resources to assess their needs, monitor their progress and measure their success. The CEP report provides further evidence that measuring individual student progress through a single, one-size-fits-all, high-stakes test is not the answer and that NCLB is not living up to its original promises."

Wii U Virtual Console's New Release
This weeks Virtual Console release is Gradius and it is $4.99. Once an arcade game, Gradius was popular enough to make its move over to consoles including the NES. What you see if pretty much what you get with this game. You pilot a spaceship and your mission is to destroy all of the enemy's forces. The neat thing about the game is that as you collect power-ups from defeated foes, you start to get better weapons. You get upgrades such as lasers, helpers that follow you around and shoot as you do, missiles, shields, etc. If you think that Gradius is a walk in the park, the video below may change your mind. As always, the video isn't mine and I'm not playing.

"Look On My Works, Ye Mighty...": The synopsis for this issue has not yet been written.
- Do it? Dan, I'm not a Republic serial villain. Do you seriously think I'd explain my master-stroke if there remained the slightest chance of you affecting its outcome? I did it thirty-five minutes ago.
Appearing in "Look On My Works, Ye Mighty..."
Featured Characters:
Supporting Characters:
- Aline (Dies)
- Bernard (Dies)
- Bernie (Dies)
- Gloria Long (Dies)
- Joey (Dies)
- Malcolm Long (Dies)
- New York City Police Department
- Detective Steven Fine (Dies)
- Detective Joe Bourquin (Dies)
- Ozymandias (Adrian Veidt) (Flashback and main story)

Synopsis for "Look On My Works, Ye Mighty..."
- Synopsis not yet written.
Appearing in "After the Masquerade"
Featured Characters:
Synopsis for "After the Masquerade"
- Synopsis not yet written.
- The title of this issue is from Percy Bysshe Shelley's poem Ozymandias. A passage appears at the end of the issue: "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!"
- Joey derogatorily refers Aline's workplace "with a bunch of guppies." The term "guppie" is slang for "gay urban professional," an analogue to "yuppie."
- The book Joey is tearing is Knots, a 1970 book of poetry by R. D. Laing.
- Veidt's recalling of his first encounter with The Comedian and their ensuing fight in which the latter "mistaking (Veidt) for a criminal" is based on the older cliches of comic books in which heroes fight each other on mistaken pretenses.
- Veidt's remark of not being a "Republic serial villain" is a reference to how villains in 1940's movie serials were infamous for explaining their schemes to the heroes, allowing the heroes to foil them.
