The notion that mobs of Americans are actively plotting to cheat the Affordable Care Act by waiting until they get sick and then finding an excuse to sign up for health insurance is cherished by two groups: anti-Obamacare conservatives and insurance companies.
As we've pointed out in the past, neither group has actually come up with data to substantiate their claim that this produces huge losses in the individual exchange market.
But there plainly are good reasons to close any loopholes.
We want to maximize enrollment of people who are eligible, but also as a matter of program integrity make sure that people who aren't eligible don't get in.
The Department of Health and Human Services on Wednesday announced that it would be tightening the verification rules for customers signing up for insurance during special enrollment periods. This is the time frame outside the annual three-month open enrollment period, when anyone can enroll in an individual health plan.
Special enrollment is reserved mostly for those with a major life change warranting a change in insurance or new enrollment. Under the new federal rules, anyone claiming eligibility under four major special categories will have to submit documentation. These categories are the loss of coverage, typically through a job loss; a permanent move, usually to a new state; birth, adoption or financial responsibility for a child; and marriage. The government says these accounted for three-fourths of all special enrollments on the federal exchange website in the last half of 2015.
Covered California, the state's ACA exchange, is also taking steps. Following a presentation on the potential cost of ineligible enrollees taking advantage of special enrollment periods, the exchange is moving toward requiring verification of eligibility for some categories starting in June. Covered California's board will vote on the matter in April, but they'll be responding to a report by their actuary that some health plans in the state are so concerned about the higher costs of covering special period enrollees that they might seek additional premium increases of 2% to 5% for next year "if we do nothing," says the exchange's executive director, Peter V. Lee.
"We're very mindful of the impact of a premium increase of 2% to 5%," Lee says. That wouldn't be enough to provoke the dreaded insurance "death spiral" in which higher premiums drive off healthier customers, leaving progressively sicker populations to dominate the risk pool and sending premiums even higher, but it would certainly burden enrollees who don't receive premium subsidies and thus might be inclined to drop their coverage.
It's unlikely that ineligible enrollees alone are the cause of reported losses by ACA insurers. UnitedHealth Group, which has emerged as the emblematic big insurer unhappy with the ACA market, has said that it lost $475 million in that market last year and has already reserved $245 million against losses this year.
Losses on that scale would require massive gaming by thousands of customers; the root cause of the problems seen by United may be that, inexperienced in the individual market, the firm underpriced its health plans to attract customers and suffered buyer's remorse when the customers turned out to be sicker than it expected.
The question isn't whether there's any gaming going on; in any market as large as the ACA's, with as many facets, there are surely some people who face the desperation of big medical bills, have figured out how to take advantage and found the opportunity to do so.
Whether there are so many "gamers" that Obamacare itself is threatened, or so many loopholes that it makes no sense for a rational person to sign up for insurance during annual open enrollment periods, as Aetna asserted in a recent government filing, is doubtful. Among other factors, most people would prefer to have insurance than go without -- that's why there was public pressure on Congress and the White House to reform the health insurance market in the first place.
Some complaints from insurers are consistent with the expected profile of special enrollees. For several reasons, they tend to be sicker or have higher health needs than the general public. An uninsured individual who falls ill is more likely to be on the lookout for the opportunity to enroll, but that's not the same as deliberately waiting.
Also, newborn babies, who probably account for a sizable plurality of special enrollment cases, are "much more expensive than other children" and remain so for their first year.
But how much more expensive should the special enrollment pool be, compared to the overall exchange population? Among California's four largest exchange insurers, one found no difference in the cost of the two pools. The other three, however, cited differentials ranging from 15% to 50%, all of which seemed higher than expected.
Another point of concern was that insurers told the Covered California staff that demanding proof of special enrollment eligibility from applicants in the off-exchange market -- these are higher-income customers ineligible for premium subsidies -- made 15% to 35% of them "disappear," a possible indication that at least some weren't really eligible. (Asking people to jump through hoops typically drives even some eligible applicants away, especially those who may be healthy and not desperate for coverage.) Off-exchange members account for about a third of the more than 1.8 million enrollees in the California individual market.
Some health plans documented "hundreds of cases" in which off-exchange applicants denied coverage because they couldn't produce proof simply reapplied via California and signed up without documentation, Covered California says.
Even in the face of these vague indications of gaming, Covered California actually is stepping up its outreach to potential special enrollees, rolling out radio and digital ad campaigns to make sure that those who are eligible know it.
It probably makes sense for the federal and state exchanges to require documentation of the most common life events, where the verifications are easiest to provide. "We want to maximize enrollment of people who are eligible," Lee says, "but also as a matter of program integrity make sure that people who aren't eligible don't get in."
Tightening the special enrollment rules also could be effective at encouraging people to comply with the individual mandate during open enrollment. Under Obamacare, people who lack coverage are subject to a monthly tax penalty. For the current year, the penalty is 2.5% of income, or $695 per adult and $347.50 per child, to a maximum of $2,085.
That's a pittance compared to the cost of obtaining treatment without insurance for a serious disease. Knowing that the loopholes for special enrollment have been sewn shut could make people think more seriously about the cost of bad health.
"The penalty pales in significance," Lee says, "compared to getting a diagnosis of uterine cancer in June and getting stuck with a $100,000 bill."

Reforwarding to www-voice. I'm doing my best to write up the explanation and look forward to your full review or a personal discussion. Thank you!

attached mail follows:
Hi Dave and Dan, I'll give a brief write-up of the data security model and the use of the PI. With respect to various alternatives and how to proceed, I personally find phone discussions to be more conducive to brainstorming possible resolutions. The <data/> tag allows for fetching and inspection of the contents of any XML document. Being effectively a "file open" command on any XML, proper sandboxing needs to be enforced. A VoiceXML application, like an HTML application or an untrusted Java applet should not have unrestricted "file open" access. There are a variety of sandboxing solutions to this: 1. Most common is to allow "file open" access only to XML files that reside in the same domain as the requesting document. The browser must be trusted to perform the DNS/IP restrictions appropriately. 2. Put the burden on the web server to validate HTTP_REFERER headers and not serve that XML content back to untrusted sites. The browser must be trusted to provide proper HTTP_REFERER information. 3. Encode access rights as an X-Header of HTTP and have the browser enforce access only to the allowed domains. 4. Encode access rights as a PI in the XML document and have the browser enforce access to that XML content only to the allowed domains. 5. Encode access rights as a parent envelope around the enclosed XML data and have the browser enforce access to that XML content only to the allowed domains. The VoiceXML 2.1 specification allows platforms to use any of these as they feel appropriate. The PI is the commonly implemented technique today. The PI allows for sandboxing while supporting the ability to share XML documents beyond just the same domain. To those not versed in internal discussions on the future of XML, the Processing Instruction appears the most appropriate place in an XML document for instructions to the processor about the security restrictions. Enveloping the content in an XML security envelope may also prove valuable, but since there isn't a known security enveloping standard today and there isn't group bandwidth to create one, the group has not undertaken the effort to create one. If this isn't sufficient explanation for 2.1, we would still like a call to be able to better articulate to our working group the perspectives on why the PI is including in XML 1.1 but out-of-favor for future standards, and also be able to report on any related efforts to define a secure envelope standard to support content sandboxing.

I got to visit J-M Mushroom Farm in Miami, OK. J-M Farms is the only commercial mushroom farm in Oklahoma. They are family owned and have been in business since 1979. J-M has a large central facility where packing, shipping, composting and the beginning stages of growing occur. There are also five satellite farms where most of the harvesting occurs. They supply mushrooms to 8 states. J-M Farms grows white button mushrooms, crimini or baby brown mushrooms, and portabella or large brown mushrooms. They grow about 27 million pounds per year.
When I arrived at J-M Farms, I had to be signed in as a visitor. I received my visitor's badge, hairnet, gloves, rain suit, and smock that I would need for my visit. They are very serious about food safety here!
Growers, Lisa, Susan, and Beth, showed me around the farm and taught me about growing mushrooms. I didn't realize how much time went into growing mushrooms. From the time the compost or the "food" starts being made to when they put the spawn or "seed" in takes about 32 days. Then after the "seed" goes into the compost it takes about 28 days to get a mushroom.
The first process in growing mushrooms is making the compost or mushroom food. This takes place outside, whether hot or cold. The day I was out there it was 32 degrees. The basic ingredient of compost is wheat straw. It also contains gypsum, chicken litter, and cotton seed meal.
These ingredients are mixed together, watered, flipped, and set in a pile to break down. They do this with front end loaders and specialized compost turners. This process utilizes naturally occurring microbes, or bacteria, to convert these raw ingredients into mushroom food. The composting process takes 24 days. After the 24 days, the compost is placed on the fill line and put into trays and moved into the building for the next phase.
The next step is eight days long. It involves the compost being pasteurized. During pasteurization, the air and compost is heated to 140 degrees to kill any bacteria that will make mushrooms or people sick.
The compost is dumped out of the trays on a line that mixes it and adds the "seed". It is then put back in the trays and pressed.
Then it goes into a spawn room where the compost temperature and air temperature will be monitored so that the mushroom seed can grow. It is in this room for 13 days.
The trays are then pulled out of the spawn room and put on another line where the casing layer is applied to the surface of the trays. Casing layer is made of black peat, blonde peat, lime, and CI (casing inoculate). The CI is added to the layer to help the mushroom grow. This layer looks like a layer of dirt on top of the trays. This is what the mushroom will grow out of and be picked from. The trays are then placed in a setback room where the compost temperature and air temperature are monitored and water is applied. They are in this room for 11 days.
On day 12, the trays are then transferred to the picking hall or a satellite farm to be harvested or picked.
In the picking room, the compost temperature and air temperature are monitored and more water is applied. On day 16 or 17 after casing, the mushrooms will be ready to be picked. The harvesters pick the mushrooms by hand into the containers that have been ordered by J-M Farms' customers.
Then the mushrooms go to the CPM (Crop Production Measurement) department to be weighed and scanned.
The sales department gets orders from customers and gives them to the packing and shipping department.
Then they are transferred to the packing department to be packaged.
They also slice mushrooms in the packing department.
The packing department then transfers the packages to the shipping department.
Then they will be shipped out to stores and restaurants in the 8 states that J-M supplies.
Check your local stores for any J-M products.
Thank you so much to the staff at J-M Farms. I really had no idea what went into mushroom farming when I asked if Flat Aggie could have tour. -A Kansas Farm Mom

Eight Culver-Stockton Athletic Programs Named NAIA Scholar Teams
The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) named eight of Culver-Stockton College's athletic programs as 2012-13 Scholar Teams. For a team to be considered for NAIA Scholar Team, it must have a minimum 3.0 grade-point-average (on a 4.0 scale) as defined by the institution. The team grade-point average includes all eligible varsity student-athletes.
Women's volleyball topped the list for Culver-Stockton with a 3.62 team GPA. Women's cross country was next with a 3.52 team GPA while women's basketball was third with a 3.24 team GPA. Women's soccer was fourth with a 3.23 GPA while men's golf was the top men's program and fifth overall with a 3.22 GPA. Women's outdoor track and field (3.20), women's golf (3.13) and men's outdoor track and field (3.03) rounded out the list.
With eight teams honored, Culver-Stockton tied with Baker University for third-most teams honored by the NAIA from the Heart of America Athletic Conference. Only Benedictine College (12) and Evangel University (10) had more athletic programs honored.
Culver-Stockton had 11 student-athletes named NAIA scholar-athletes during the 2012-13 academic year. The college also had one student honored by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) as an academic All-Region selection.
Congratulations to Culver-Stockton. It's just one more reason why my good friend, the late John Tripp, correctly coined the phrase "Harvard On The Hill" for the campus in Canton, Missouri.

2013 was an *interesting* year to say the least. In no particular order, I celebrated my 2nd wedding anniversary, I wound up in an Argentine psychiatric ward, I gave birth to my beautiful son, I had a major fallout and subsequent blowout with a friend of 18 years, and I have nearly completed my 5th full year of living in Argentina. If anything, it was a learning experience. Not that I'm big into New Year's resolutions, but I still feel the need to make some sort of commitment to continuing to evolve, improve, and challenge myself (after all, what's the point if we never change or do anything different?).
Ideally, I wanted to find a fitting number for these goals, such as 14 for the year 2014, or a nice, even 10. It didn't quite work out that way, but nevertheless… Below are some of my goals, hopes, and objectives to accomplish in 2014:
- Improve my Spanish – I've been living in Buenos Aires for nearly five years, but I admit that between my English-speaking job and (let's be honest) a lack of good old fashioned gumption, I've let my level of Spanish plateau. I need to expand my vocabulary and read more, amongst other pursuits. As they say, "The limits of your language are the limits of your world."
- Learn how to crochet – I need a hobby. Desperately. Something to keep my hands busy would be ideal. Might as well seek a hobby that results in pretty scarves and doilies!
- Continue to lose weight and get back in shape – My former goal for this used to be a number on the scale, but now it is much more than that. Rather than aim for a specific weight, I think it is more important to value having enough energy to play and chase after my son when he starts to walk (and run), to be able to go out and participate in physical activity with my loved ones and not get winded, and simply no longer feeling ashamed of my body. I don't want to miss out anymore. Which leads me to my next goal….
- Improve small but important eating habits – I've got some baaaaaaad eating habits. Having a major sweet tooth, emotional eating, over-salting food, poor food choices, eating too fast, you name it. Mea culpa. I need to start changing those, stat.
- Work on my marriage with Fede each day – I cannot emphasize enough how much my husband means to me. I've told him many times that being married to him is like celebrating Thanksgiving every day – I feel warm, happy, full, contented, and loved. But that's not to say that I am comfortable to the point that I don't feel the need to earn his love each day that we are together. I never want to take what I have with him for granted. He is far too valuable to me.
- Make new friends/be a better friend –It's great having the luxury of having my husband and best friend in the world rolled into one individual, but I really need to expand my social circle. It's been more challenging to do so since Sebastian was born, it's not like when I had the convenience of meeting people through school. However, I know that I need to make a greater effort to pursue female friendships, and I also need to be a better friend to those who are already in my life. I am not always the best at staying in touch, even with people who live in the area locally. This is undoubtedly something to work on.
- Stop obsessing about work when not appropriate – Let's be clear – I don't consider myself to be a workaholic, but mentally, it's hard for me to leave work "at the office" after working hours (I'm a teacher, after all). One of my major weaknesses regarding this issue? Checking my work email constantly, after school and on the weekends.
- Take more time and better care of myself- such as reading more for pleasure, flossing, applying sunscreen, maybe taking up a holistic and healthy practice such as yoga, and all the other little things that will help with "daily maintenance." It's all about the little choices and details, which are sometimes easy to disregard, but are just as key as the significant choices and details.
Here's to improvement.
Here's to change.
Here's to 2014.

With so many useless websites out there, I've decided to start my own site dedicated to promoting sites that are actually worth while. The first stop on this wonderful mystery tour is Woot!
Here is the skinny:
1) Register – Don't worry, I've been a member for about a year and so far no bombarding my email account with crazy amounts of worthless email.
2) Site has one super deal a day. The price is usually about 50% off of retail and shipping is always $5. You can't beat it.
3) Occasionally there is a Woot Off! This is when the deals go by fast and furious, sometimes 3 – 4 deals an hour. Great way to find some really cool gadgets. Also every once in a while they have a launch party, where the featured item can only be found on that website.
4) Both my brother and I have ordered from this site and I have to say the products are top notch and even if they are refurbished, I haven't had anything go wrong with them.
You need to check in on this website daily. The deals can't be beat.
As always please send me cool sites you have found so I can get them listed. Email to email@example.com.

This is all that I know....
My g grandmother's sister was BELL CHINN, she moved to Pittsburgh from Rappahannock VA.
In the 1900 Census, FRED REDMAN born in 1860 in VA, was living in Plum, Allegheny County PA,with his wife SARAH, born in Canada and their children Nera, Fred, Lilly and MAY.
In the same census of 1900, MAY REDMAN is also listed as the daughter of BELL REDMAN in Pittsburgh. They were living at the home of my great grand parents DELILA(CHINN) and JAMES EDWARD CLARK originally from Rappahannock.
I once did a search of Marriages and found that a BELLE CHINN was married to a " FRANK" REDMAN on April 25,1887 in Allegheny Co. , PA.
In another search I saw a FRANK F. REDMON,born 1865, Loudoun VA, father AMOS and Mother Lenora ~ source Family Search
Would love to know more.

The Woodcraft Technologies eMotoRacing Series comes to California for 2 back-to-back events.
The big track at Willow Springs will host two eight lap electric road races on April 25 and 26.
Later the following week, Sonoma Raceway will be the site of two more rounds of zero emissions racing, April 30 and May 1.
A three bike team sponsored by Hollywood Electrics of Los Angeles will pit specially prepared Zeros against the Brammo Empulses that have dominated the series in 2014 and so far into 2015.
Riders Jeff Clark, Brandon Nozaki-Miller, and Nathan Barker will pilot the Zero Team. Brammo riders include Pete Nicolosi of NC, fresh from a win at NOLA, Murrae Haynes of NM, and defending series champion Arthur Kowitz on his solar powered streamliner.
Last year's winners at Willow Springs was Dave Roper and Arthur Kowitz. Winner for both races last year at Sonoma was Eric Bostrom.
Later in the season, the eMotoRacing events at Miller and NJMP will showcase prototype road racers built and campaigned by university student teams. These teams will compete against the Brammo and Zero production based bikes.

Looks like a VERY productive day for all of you!
We have a bit of nettle in the back yard – my niece uses it to make tea, which is supposed to, among other things, "cure" shingles – but it has to be young plants for that. I've never had shingles, and the thoughts of drinking nettle tea make me shiver, so I eradicate it when I can.
I'm glad to see that you've got very competent helpers – hope they got some of the brownies!
How do you dehydrate your parsldey. It looks like there is water in a jar? Or did I misunderstand and you are rehydrating it.

A Review By: Tim Bishop, Amazon.co.uk
Tim Bishop posted the following review on Amazon.co.uk on 6 October 2011.
Beautiful, phonebook-sized publication. A reference book for the best and most important comics of the last century.
Even though it's a heavy, dip-in-and-out-of, coffee-table book I still find it a bit of a page turner - every review is written very well and gives the relevant info you'd want on each comic, re style, genre, target audience etc.
It also serves as a history book, detailing the books in chronological order of publishing date which makes for very interesting reading.
The reviewers provide a bit of cultural context for some the older or more obscure international books too, valuable info when assessing further interest.

Gorgeous Beefy Marine Jeremy Gets His Ass Deflowered By Ripped Marine Quentin
by Ben Daniels (Admin) on Aug.28, 2015, under ActiveDuty
Our new director Claude has been pretty dedicated to making some of the best and most interesting hot scenes with new recruits which recently joined our forces here at Active Duty. If you've seen Jeremy once, you are unlikely to forget who this beefy straight dude is. Well, in this scene Claude decided to pair Jeremy with equally hot muscular marine Quentin!
As you would expect from young horny guys like these, as soon as we put them together they got hard in no time. Within seconds we see Quentin dropping to his knees and taking Jeremy's considerable hard dick into his mouth. Damn! Either Quentin has been practicing cock sucking techniques or he's a natural talent! He takes such a good care of Jeremy's rod that Jeremy felt an obligation to return the favor somehow, and while his dick is being professionally sucked he strokes Quentin's cock with his hand.
You can tell that Quentin was eager to try that massive erect stick in his ass, and as soon as the blowjob has been finished, Quentin positions himself so that Jeremy can penetrate his tight military ass. A bit later the guys change position and Jeremy fucks Quentin from behind.
But here's the biggest surprise: Jeremy also wanted to see how it feels to have a nice hard cock in your ass, so in the second part of the video Jeremy impales his ass onto Quentin's sizeable dick. Jeremy smiles saying, "This is it, the first time real deal!". All three guys in the room laugh heartily after Jeremy's remark and Jeremy goes with the flow and continues to enjoy getting fucked for the first time ever. Jeremy's hole was really tight and it took Quentin quite some time to stretch it only a little.
Then Jeremy lies on his back and Quentin fucks him in that position for some time. This was a really hot part! Quentin wasn't very gentle and delivered a solid performance as a top. Jeremy can certainly say his ass has gotten a good pounding for his first time.
I can wholeheartedly recommend this hot video to anyone who is into muscular straight guys, especially for those who like buffed up military men with little or no previous experience in gay sex.
Preview video:
Click here to watch or download his entire video in HD quality at Active Duty!
Active Duty is a great porn site that specializes in younger military men and uniformed studs in general. These men are usually real amateurs and you will see them only here. Ripped, muscled studs in the army and their insatiable sex drive!
Active Duty is one of the oldest gay porn sites – but it has been recently updated and overhauled and now it looks brand new! Also all the videos are from now on in 2000 bit HD quality – so you can watch them even on your big TV screen!

Train with a NAHETS Approved School for a Rewarding Career
There is a ton of entry level heavy equipment operator jobs that need filled in the workforce, but there aren't enough skilled people to fill these positions. The National Association of Heavy Equipment Training Schools is an association of schools that collaborate with the NAHETS to get approved testing, curriculum, and other resources to help students succeed in their endeavor of graduating from a quality heavy equipment training program. A fantastic training program is built on the foundations of enthusiasm, integrity, purpose, and knowledge.
Students Need to Be Selective When Choosing a Training Program
Our association is not responsible for member schools, and students will be responsible for choosing a solid program that can land them a lucrative job in the future. All students are encouraged to visit each school that they are considering. A quality program should put students in exact situations they will be exposed to when they are on the job. This could include various types of terrain conditions in all types of weather. Heavy equipment training can include training in industrial equipment, heavy equipment, or lighter mobile equipment.
Training Students Can Expect to Receive for a Well-Paying Equipment Career
Anyone who is involved in the construction industry, or other related industries, needs certification from a heavy equipment school, so that they can further their career. These careers can be high paying if the right program of training is received from a quality NAHETS member school. Students can expect equipment training in scrapers, excavators, backhoes, bulldozers, bobcats, dump trucks, motor graders, and other heavy equipment that could be used in multiple industries. NAHETS member schools offer training that focuses on a skilled hands-on approach. Students will be fully trained to enter the workforce upon graduating from a certified heavy equipment program.

Textfyre now has the beginning works of an MVP (minimal viable product) and our primary goal this year is to complete the MVP and look for funding.
One of the places we're looking to for cash our federal and private education grants. We just missed a couple of federal grants in February. There just wasn't enough time to prepare the type of proposal that's expected. An RFP from the Gates Foundation was recently publicized and we're making a concerted effort to complete a proposal for this grant.
In the area of product development, we've brought in a new team member that has a learning science and assessment science background. We're working to redesign existing processes to ones based on IF constructs. This process has just begun.
This has led me to think about our business model. We've been discussing the possibility of offering all of our content for free and charging for the assessment and reporting features. These are the features that teachers and administrators would use to evaluate their students progress in areas that can be measured against the new Common Core State Standards. What do we gain by offering our stories for free? What do we lose? These are the questions we're asking ourselves.
In other news, I am going to add maps and hints to the existing online version of The Shadow in the Cathedral and make it permanently apart of the Textfyre learning structure. It will remain free. I also plan to promote it towards classroom supplemental reading use.
One of our other team members is actively working relationships with teachers to test our service. This is an ongoing struggle since teachers have very little time. If you know a teacher that would be interested in helping us work through piloting, please send them my way. We're focused on 4th through 8th grade.

WALLDORF, Germany — SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) today announced the appointment of Rodolpho Cardenuto as the head of a new Global Partner Operations (GPO) organization, formed in the office of the co-CEO, which will focus on driving Board-sponsored initiatives through strategic SAP partners and accelerating the company's growth through new and existing sales channels.
In addition to the responsibilities of the company's existing Ecosystem and Channels team, the new GPO organization will also manage SAP® Business One, the original equipment manufacturing (OEM) business and the company's overall strategic partnerships around the world. Mark Ferrer, current head of SAP Ecosystem and Channels, will continue his role as chief operating officer of Customer Operations, reporting to Robert Enslin, president of Global Customer Operations and member of the Executive Board of SAP AG.
Cardenuto brings a proven track record of channel success to this new role, delivering double-digit growth for 12 consecutive quarters in the Latin America region. As head of GPO, Cardenuto will be responsible for accelerating that same growth worldwide by building alternative routes to market through the SAP partner ecosystem.
"The formation of our new Global Partner Operations organization is key to driving scale and adoption of the SAP Cloud powered by SAP HANA," said Bill McDermott, co-CEO and member of the Executive Board, SAP AG. "Rodolpho will engage with a vibrant and open ecosystem of more than 11,500 companies worldwide to unlock the potential of every customer to become a best-run business. Rodolpho's appointment shows that our bedrock commitment to the spirit of partnership with the SAP ecosystem has never been stronger."
Cardenuto joined SAP in 2008 as president of SAP Latin America and the Caribbean, and has spent the past year as president of SAP Americas. He has more than 25 years of experience in the IT industry, spending 15 years at Hewlett- Packard in leadership roles including sales management in Brazil and leading the small and midsize enterprise (SME) business for the Latin America region.
With Cardenuto's move to his new role, SAP today also announced that, effective immediately, Jennifer Morgan has been named president of SAP North America and Diego Dzodan has been named president of SAP Latin America & Caribbean. Both will report to Enslin.
Morgan was previously president of Regulated Industries at SAP. With more than 20 years of progressive leadership experience, she has an exceptional track record in helping to develop, sell and implement enterprise-wide solutions for government and private sector customers. Prior to joining the company, Morgan worked for Siebel Systems and Accenture, where she primarily oversaw large system modernizations across multiple industries.
Dzodan has more than 15 years experience in the IT industry. He joined SAP in 2004 and has held key leadership positions within the company in Latin America, including managing director of SAP Southern Latin America, SAP Brazil and SAP Mexico and Central America. Under his leadership, these markets achieved significant growth. Before joining SAP, Dzodan founded Certant Inc., a regional consulting firm focused on technology and business integration. Earlier in his career, he was with companies including Aluar Aluminio Argentina, Technit Solutions and Andersen Consulting (Accenture).
"Jennifer and Diego bring more than 35 years of combined experience in the IT industry and truly live our mission to be THE cloud company," said Enslin. "We continue to be committed to providing our customers with the greatest experience possible when they partner and engage with us."

Discovering Motives
I live only an hour from the University of Texas in Austin, so the shooting on Tuesday hit close to home. Police say UT Student Colton Tooley, 19, fired shots on campus with an AK-47 assault rifle, then killed himself inside the library. So far, no one has any idea why Tooley fired those shots. According to the Associated Press in Yahoo! News, those who knew Tooley say he was "intelligent and incapable of hurting anyone." A relative named Marcus described Tooley as "an excellent student who 'wouldn't or couldn't hurt a fly.'" Tooley's high school principal said teachers remembered him as "brilliant, meticulous and respectful." Yesterday, the young student acted completely out of character and no one knows why.
I'm thinking, not many folks have assault rifles stashed under an old army blanket in their closets. At what point did this careful student decide to buy the AK-47? What caused his character to change so drastically? Yet, even as he carried out his plan, even as he fired the weapon, he failed to injure anyone but himself. Even if the campus was still waking up and not many students were around, even if Tooley had lousy aim, he fired an automatic weapon
toward people. Wouldn't he have hit someone if he were trying? In the end, the young man who "couldn't hurt a fly" only hurt himself.
As writers, we always need to know what motivates our characters. Does their motivation make sense? If not, the lack of a proper motive will take the reader completely out of the story faster than almost anything. But with the proper back story, your villain can be believable, your story can be powerful. Your tragic young hero can make serious mistakes, yet your story will resonate with your readers and may change lives.
In the days ahead, I'm sure investigators, psychologists, and profilers will draw a clear picture of what motivated Tooley. Meanwhile, my heart goes out to Tooley's distraught parents on the loss of their son. I'm thankful he didn't take any innocent lives during the shootings and his parents aren't dealing with that additional tragedy as well.

Such a tragedy, Roxanne--with unanswered questions.
And, yes, there's a lesson for writers in all this. We should never leave our readers wondering why things happened in our stories.

My son loves James Patterson's books. Patterson is the bestselling author of the highly praised Middle School books, I Funny, Confessions of a Murder Suspect, and the Maximum Ride, Witch & Wizard, Daniel X, and Alex Cross series. His books have sold over 275 million copies worldwide. Patterson's combination of humor and real-life story telling, keeps my son reading for hours on end.
When he discovered that Patterson was releasing a new book with an African-American protagonist, he was thrilled. He was also excited about the book because he loves comic books and this book references superheroes.
Public School Superhero is a story about a good kid with a great imagination struggling in a less-than-ideal world. The main character, Kenny Wright,is a kid with a secret identity. In his mind, he's Stainlezz Steel, super-powered defender of the weak. In reality, he's a chess club devotee known as a "Grandma's Boy," a label that makes him an easy target for bullies. Kenny wants to bring a little more Steel to the real world, but the question is: can he recognize his own true strength before peer pressure forces him to make the worst choice of his life? This illustrated novel is a genuinely funny yet poignant look at middle school in a challenging urban setting, where a kid's life can depend on the everyday decisions he makes.
In 2015, Patterson will donate 100,000 copies of Public School Superhero to some of the most neglected and underfunded schools in America, and he will launch a major campaign to support school libraries. The books will be distributed through First Book, a nonprofit social enterprise that provides new books for kids in need. First Book is a nonprofit social enterprise that has distributed more than 125 million books and educational resources to programs and schools serving children from low-income families in the United States and Canada. By making new, high-quality books available on an ongoing basis, First Book is transforming the lives of children in need and elevating the quality of education.
Kids are bound to find Public School Superhero relatable and entertaining because it is brimming with wit, action, and heart.

- Copy of Public School Superhero
- $50 Visa gift card

Hacking the San Bernardino terrorist's iPhone has produced data the FBI didn't have before and has helped the investigators answer some remaining questions in the ongoing probe, U.S. law enforcement officials say, CNN reports.
Apple and the FBI are squaring off again Tuesday in testimony at a House hearing on encryption, with the recent battle over unlocking a terrorist's phone looming in the background.
Investigators are now more confident that terrorist Syed Farook didn't make contact with another plotter during an 18-minute gap that the FBI said was missing from their time line of the attackers' whereabouts after the mass shooting, the officials said. The phone has helped investigators address lingering concern that the two may have help, perhaps from friends and family, the officials said. Read more at CNN.

Jen has always enjoyed startup ventures, renovation, artistic avenues and technology. She worked her way through college, installed computer systems where none existed back in the day, started at MCI right after AT&T was declared a monopoly by the Justice Dept and watched the sun set all around the world doing awesome telecom projects. She left the industry when the Enron types ignored ethics & customer service, finally fulfilling a lifelong dream to live by the beach. Jen combined her love of renovation & the arts when she bought a 1909 cottage in poor shape then a flooded, broken down 1937 movie theater & fixed them right up. In 2006, she founded a nonprofit for the theater & the arts (http://www.rialtotheater.org). After enjoying her renovation work so much, she decided to get into real estate to bring life to other buildings & help others find their place during the most challenging time in the industry ever. Jen loves combining her passion for customer service, technology & creativity in her real estate career. She and her husband Jake sing, sail, renovate & explore the world as much as possible. If you can't tell by now, Jen hates being bored. She believes in squeezing as much into every day as humanly possible, giving back to the communities she loves and putting customers first. She helped raise three very amazing people and enjoys her five grandchildren in Orlando & Austin (although too much of that is via Facebook).

Last week I was teaching and I told my student the familiar saying: "don't pull your hand back empty." I'm sure that you have heard this many times in your Karate training.
In the most basic sense, the returning elbow can strike someone behind you. That is probably the first application taught.
But generally speaking, you are defending against the person attacking you from the front (you would turn to face him, perhaps at an oblique angle or whatever). There might not be someone behind you, and if not, it would not make sense to expend the effort and take the time to strike behind you with your elbow.
More generally, after you block or strike the attacker, the hand that has gone forward can grab something and pull back. For example, you could punch the attacker in the face, and then grab him by the hair and pull back. This would set him up for some other strike or kick or knee, or whatever.
You might pull back by grabbing with your fingers, using the outside of the hand and your wrist, using the inside of your hand (turned up) and your wrist, using the inside or outside, top or bottom of your forearm, your elbow, the upper arm area, etc. The advanced aspect of applications is knowing how to pull, twist, lock, etc. when you pull, using different parts of your body. It is not just a simple matter of grabbing and pulling.
You tend to see this more in Goju-Ryu and Uechi-Ryu nowadays, but in the old days, Shorin-Ryu also emphasized the "pulling hand". Old forms of Shorin-Ryu still do.
The saying "don't pull your hand back empty" also applies to kicks. After a kick with the tips of the toes, the returning heel can be used as a strike as well. A kick can be followed by a trip or stomp or raking motion. The kick does not simply drop uselessly. There should be no wasted motion. If a part of the body is extended for a block or strike, it should be used productively on the recoil or return.
It is also important to tailor your body dynamics to power the strike and recover the energy on the recoil or return. You do not simply "throw" out and "pull" back as separate and disconnected movements. The two are connected, as are the right and left sides of the body. A movement on the right will have consequences/opportunities for movement on the left, and vice versa.
In Kishaba Juku, we often speak of a rotary engine as the way to envision the dynamics of the koshi. The rotary type of movement powers strikes, blocks, and kicks (usually on outward movements) and also powers pulls, twists, tears, throws, and pulling-type strikes on the recoils and returns.
Sometimes you could punch or strike to the front with your right hand, and then turn and pull with an elbow strike, again to the front with your right arm. By turning, the return is now to the front instead of the rear. So one set of outward and returning movements can be used against the same attacker.
The point of all this is that there is much more to the saying "don't pull your hand back empty." You have to know what parts of the attacker's body or clothes that you can "pull" and what techniques you can do either singly or in combination to have the desired effect (such as to inflict the maximum damage).
In a way, it is like music -- not so much in the beauty, but in the rhythm and flow.
Of course, we should avoid violence and defend only as a last resort. That is always true. But as a last resort, there is a whole lot more to "don't pull your hand back empty" than most beginners realize.
When I lift weights (I have a cable machine with a weight stack at home), I really like the do pulls.

Chase announced Wednesday that it has signed a multiyear agreement with Best Buy for the electronics retailer to accept Chase Pay in its brick-and-mortar store, on its website, and through the Best Buy app.
Best Buy joins several other merchants, such as gas station chain Phillips 66, in accepting the bank's mobile wallet.
"We'll partner with Best Buy to deepen relationships with our common customers by integrating offers and rewards into the payment experience to deliver a seamless experience at the point of sale," said Jennifer Roberts, president of strategic alliances and loyalty solutions for Chase, in a press release.
"Our goal is always to make things easier for our customers and help them smoothly navigate the checkout process," added Mark Williams, president of financial services for Best Buy. "Chase Pay provides an easy and safe way for customers to purchase the products they want."
This partnership could be extremely fruitful for Chase, as more than 70% of all Americans live within 15 minutes of one of Best Buy's 1,400 stores in the U.S. Furthermore, Best Buy is a major member of the Merchant Customer Exchange (MCX), a strategic Chase Pay relationship.
These factors could cause Best Buy shoppers to form habits around Chase Pay, which is the goal of any mobile payments service on the market.
Mobile payments are becoming more popular, but they still face some high barriers, such as consumers' continued loyalty to traditional payment methods and fragmented acceptance among merchants. But as loyalty programs are integrated and more consumers rely on their mobile wallets for other features like in-app payments, adoption and usage will surge over the next few years.
Evan Bakker, research analyst for BI Intelligence, Business Insider's premium research service, has compiled a detailed report on mobile payments that forecasts the growth of in-store mobile payments in the U.S., analyzes the performance of major mobile wallets like Apple Pay, Android Pay, and Samsung Pay, and addresses the barriers holding mobile payments back as well as the benefits that will propel adoption.
Here are some key takeaways from the report:
- In our latest US in-store mobile payments forecast, we find that volume will reach $75 billion this year. We expect volume to pick up significantly by 2020, reaching $503 billion. This reflects a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 80% between 2015 and 2020.
- Consumer interest is the primary barrier to mobile payments adoption. Surveys indicate that the issue is less the mobile wallet itself and more that people remain loyal to traditional payment methods and show little enthusiasm for picking up new habits.
- Integrated loyalty programs and other add-on features will be key to mobile wallets taking off. Consumers are showing interest in wallets with integrated loyalty programs. Other potential add-ons, like in-app, in-browser, and P2P payments, will also start fueling adoption. This strategy has been proved successful in China with platforms like WeChat and Alipay.
In full, the report:
- Forecasts the growth of US in-store mobile payments volume and users through 2020.
- Measures mobile wallet user engagement by forecasting mobile payments' share of their annual retail spending.
- Reviews the performance of major mobile wallets like Apple Pay and Samsung Pay.
- Addresses the key barriers that are preventing mobile in-store payments from taking off.
- Identifies the growth drivers that will ultimately carve a path for mainstream adoption.

A 'world class' yacht
The aim for the successful design of the Najad 570 was to create a luxury, highly exclusive and superb passage maker, capable of being handled in safety by two persons.
The outcome from the combination of naval architect Judel/Vrolijk & Co, interior designer Rhodes Young and Najadvarvets craftsmen, was a ground breaking, exceptional 'world class' yacht.
Superb sailing characteristics, ergonomic deck layout and easily handled rig is particularly eye-catching
A truly breath taking interior design from Rhodes Young incorporates large windows in the deckhouse and hull, and the interior fit and finish is typical Najad - practicality combined with superb craftsmanship at every level.
Najad 570 is equally suited to the long term 'live aboard' ocean adventurer as to the gentler life of costal cruising and island hopping.

I can connect with to AWS via the 'bitnami' user in PuTTY and WinSCP - just not the file permissions I need.
For example, no access to standalone.xml.
You may need super-user access to edit some files. Could you try editing the file using sudo?
Hope it helps.
Best regards,
Javier J. Salmerón
Thanks.I was not familiar with ubuntu and the lack of a root user. A mix of sudo for command line and configurations to WinSCP and I was rolling.
We are glad that you were able to fix the issue

Since February 21, the medical care that I have personally received has caused me to experience vertigo any time I chew solid food. This was never a problem before.
Obviously, I'm not still working with that healthcare provider whose treatment worsened my symptoms, but recovering from the harmful results of the care that I received has taken me now over six weeks. My symptoms have been so bad that my husband has taken off work one or two days every week in order to take care of me.
If I didn't have him, I'm sure I would've had to hire a caregiver by now! I've been living with mild to severe vertigo off and on since I was five years old, after my first childhood concussion.
The wonderful thing about my situation is that because I understand vertigo and it's multi-factorial causes so clearly, I've been able to navigate through a difficult exacerbation of my health symptoms and advocate for myself as I continue to seek out care from specialist providers.
Last week when I was at a medical appointment, I began vomiting and spinning so bad with my vision blurry that I was unable to walk or drive home. I had to text message my husband to take a cab to come pick me up and literally rescue me.
I was extremely sick in the car while he drove us home and I continued to vomit for the rest of the night.
Luckily I have trained him to be an excellent caregiver for people with vertigo, or else I may have ended up in the emergency room.
Now that I've trained him to take care of me, he knows exactly what to do and he is willing to help, so I seriously doubt I will ever have to seek emergency care for dizziness or vertigo again.
Together, we are able to analyze what is happening to me, peel back the layers of my symptoms to discover the root cause in each case, and we literally have lists of solutions for every root cause that affects me.
Even though I physically have suffered a lot in the last six weeks with an exacerbation of vertigo, I have not suffered mentally or emotionally because I've been very clear what is happening to me and what I need to do about it.
Puking and laughing in between has been my approach to stabilize my emotions and stay positive!
I wish the same for you if you are someone suffering with vertigo!
And I wish the same level of clarity for you if you are a healthcare provider taking care of patients who experience vertigo.
I happen to be both, so this is my life! And what a beautiful life it is.

Yes!!! I love my Altwork station. It has prevented many headaches, backaches, and I find it works well to minimize distractibility. It is my work vehicle.
Rob K.
I'm enjoying my Altwork Station. They exceeded my expectations and I'm more comfortable doing my work now.
David MocarskiChair Environmental Design Department at Art Center & Principal of Arkkit Forms Design
We work at tables and sit on chairs just as we have for hundreds of years. Shapes have changed; not much else has. In our new digital world, sitting, standing, working and the relationship to our computers and the innovative process needs reimagining. Our bodies and minds need a new connection that allows us to work the long hours it takes to create the future. Working differently will allow us to think differently. Altwork is taking us there.
After trying out the $5,900 Altwork Station, one thought immediately comes to mind: boycott work until you're issued one of these babies.
I have never seen anything like this except when I was 7 and watching StarTrek. This is really cool.

If you consider all of the different possibilities about the world of finance and why it is a desirable field, then you know there are plenty of reasons to like investments. That being said, there are also a considerable number of reasons why people are completely scared of the investment world in general right now. Between the political issues, international changes, and general economic worries, investments have been extremely volatile as of recently. However, just because some things aren't going well doesn't mean you can't still generate wealth. You just need to know who to work with when it comes to finding experienced and knowledgeable investors and advisers.
When it comes to working with the best then you have to consider someone just like Martin Lustgarten. Not only has Martin Lustgarten been able to make a name for himself in the field of investments, but he has done so for many ways. One of the top reasons so many people are looking to him for assistance isn't even because of his returns, but rather it is for his confidence. When the markets are moving like crazy, jumps and dips are happening each and every day, and people are taking very big bets and significant positions on the market, then it can be difficult to remain calm. With Martin Lustgarten, however, countless investors are comfortable where they are at because they understand what is happening around them.
The field of investments can be completely volatile, but that can also be alright. As long as you understand the potential consequences of your decisions as well as the consequences of making no decisions then investing can be a lot easier. If you are simply able to understand what is going on, why you are making certain investments and avoiding others, and when you will want to execute or ignore a given strategy, then you can feel more confident and not have to worry about the day to day stress of investments. When individuals work with Martin Lustgarten then they are able to have expert advice from someone who is able to teach them. That knowledge from Martin Lustgarten brings confidence.
