Mary Maus
Mary Maus, 73, of Putnam Valley, died Thursday, December 9, 2010, at her home. She was born March 15, 1937, in New Rochelle to George and Gertrude Butler Baker. She graduated from Ursuline High School in 1954 and New Rochelle College in 1958. She was a member of Holy Spirit Church in Cortlandt.
Mary was employed by the Yorktown School District for many years. In her retirement she was a trustee on the Putnam Valley School Board.
Mary is survived by her two sons, Dr. Paul V. Maus, III, and his wife Maria of Putnam Valley, and Stephen M. Maus and his wife Linda of Hopewell Junction. Grandchildren include Katie, Mark, Anna, and Eric. Mary has one sister, Veronica, and her husband, Arthur, of Maryland.
Funeral services were held Tuesday at 10am at the Heritage Funeral Home, with interment at Rose Hills Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations to New York Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, 525 East 68th Street, New York, NY 10065.

Inspired by watching the putting technique of Australian Jason Day, Scotland's Chris Doak produced a brilliant course record 63 at the Macdonald Spey Valley Golf Resort to take control of the Scottish Hydro Challenge.
The 33 year old, a member of the recently formed Team Scottish Hydro, has been playing beautifully for the past few weeks but had been hampered by putting woes until he decided to take a leaf out of Day's book, having watched the Aussie putt his way to second place behind Rory McIlroy in last week's US Open Championship at Congressional.
His new technique, allied to his outstanding display of ball-striking, ensured Doak would charge to the top of the leaderboard with an eight under par 63 at Spey Valley – two strokes better than Swedish rookie Jesper Kennegard, and three clear of South African youngster Allan Versfield with a further eight players tied on four under par.
Doak is no stranger to the Spey Valley Golf Course having won the Northern Open, one of the Tartan Tour's most prestigious events, here in 2008.
"I won the Northern Open here in 2008 so I do love the course, it's a great course," said Doak.
"My game has been in great shape and it's great to be playing at home this week. I think that's helped. I had been struggling with the putting quite a lot but I made a change in my routine today and it seems to have worked.
"I was getting the pace first and then having a quick look at the line and getting putter behind the ball and just letting it go. I got the idea from watching Jason Day at the US Open. I was struggling with the line but that seems to be helping."
Kennegard, meanwhile, could not have got his professional career off to a much better start than his six under par 65 effort. The Swede was playing his first round as a professional at Spey Valley, having recently graduated from Arizona State University – the same College that produced Phuil Mickelson and Paul Casey – in America.
"It is a very good start, especially as I was one over after the first hole, but I managed to get things going and made seven birdies after that so it was a very nice way to start the tournament.
"I have been a professional for a week and this is my first tournament as a professional so I have to be pretty pleased with that. I was at College in Arizona State and had four great years there. I was always going to turn professional straight after college and I also knew that I would be able to get some invitations on the Challenge Tour so I kind of knew what I was going to do as soon as I graduated.
"Obviously I know what the Challenge Tour is but you have to make your own judgements once you get here. The set-up here is good and the golf course is very good. It is not quite the weather I became accustomed to in Arizona but we get some pretty bad weather in Sweden so that shouldn't be a problem.
"I think the Challenge Tour is a great place for me to start. You look a the guys who have come through it recently, guys like Kaymer, Quiros, Molinari - they have all come through the Challenge Tour so I think it's a good path to try and follow."
Versfield is another man making his Challenge Tour debut this week and the young South African showed many signs of the classy game that has seen him perform well on his native Sunshine Tour of late.
His five under 66 saw him sneak one stroke clear of the eight men tied on four under that includes home players Greig Hutcheon and Elliott Saltman but Doak's excellent performance put his fellow countrymen, and indeed the rest of the field, in the shade.

The department hopes those who attend will have a better understanding of Korean culture, people and the current situation in East Asia when they leave.
The talk is free and open to the public, and refreshments will be served.

God Is Great. Inspire Is Not.
Tips for al-Qaida's lame new magazine.
Al-Qaida's new English-language magazine, Inspire, is not living up to its name. According to NPR, the month-old publication has failed to reach its target audience: young men trying to decide whether to join the jihad against the West. But it's nothing a team of media consultants can't fix. Here are a few tips they might offer:
Get on the Web. News flash:The Second Caliphate is over. Glossy magazines are dying, and not in a good way. And yet, Inspire is a 67-page glossy. To read it, you have to download a PDF. Time to modernize, guys: Inspire needs a fully interactive Web site, complete with blogs, slide shows, and exclusive videos (sorry, Al-Jazeera). If you want to take us back to the 8th century, you first have to embrace the 21st.
Go daily. It's been a month since Inspire launched, and we're still waiting for Issue No. 2. Here' a tip: Publish every day. There's no shortage of jihadi news. (Suicide bombings, fatwas, and beheadings are especially click-y.) You want to be there when it happens—or, if you know the right people, before. Don't just win the day. Win the Fajr, Dhurh, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha'a.
Redesign. The cover is a mess. Keep it simple—a title, a headline, and an illustration (not Muhammad). You also need more art. Flesh out articles with charts and infographics. Don't tell us how to "make a bomb in the kitchen of your mom."Show us.
Better branding. The tagline for Inspire right now is "… And Inspire the Believers." Inspiring! Not. First of all, the repetition is redundant. More important, you're limiting your scope. Advertisers like believers, but they also like nonbelievers (or, if you prefer, future believers). Try to avoid alienating that demographic, even if it means printing a special "infidel edition" that contains fewer slide shows of public stonings.
Improve SEO. You're harder to find than Osama. Type inspire into Google, and you get pharmaceutical companies, roofing services, and hair products. Search engines favor articles with keywords like jihad and al-Qaida at the top. Instead of vague metaphors like "The West Should Ban the Niqab Covering Its Real Face," use straightforward SEO-friendly headlines like "Die Filthy Western Infidels Jihad Al-Qaida 9/11."
Drive the conversation. Why should readers read you? Because you don't just report the news. You help people understand it. Don't just tell them Sunnis are better than Shiites. Explain why.
Lists. Lists get eyeballs. Suggestions: "Top 10 Albums Not To Listen To." "60 Peaceful Quranic Verses To Ignore." "15 Jihadis Under 15." And, of course, an annual "Best Mullahs" list.
Get readers involved. Don't just broadcast. Foster reader interaction. Hold exclusive salons that give participants access to major al-Qaida figures, hosted by your hot young editor in chief, 24-year-old Samir Khan. Solicit citizen journalism from the cutting edge of Wahhabism. For example, Diary of a Woman Who's Not Allowed To Go Outside.
Be brief. No one has time for long essays on the afterlife. Articles should be short, dense, and to the point. Summarize the key bits up top: What exactly does the afterlife offer? Why should we care? Why is life after death trendy right now, anyway?
Be useful. Fewer gauzy tirades like "Message to the People of Yemen"; more service journalism like "Sending and Receiving Encrypted Messages." People already know why they're waging jihad. They need to know how. For example, how to make a martyrdom video—and how not to.
Recruit new talent. You have one huge advantage over the rest of the news industry: deep pockets. Leverage your resources to bring in top talent from ailing publications, such as Newsweek.
The future of Inspire is bright. Follow these tips, and we guarantee you will blow up the market. So to speak.

New Computer System to Prevent Tax Fraud
BATON ROUGE – Recent actions by the US Congress regarding the fiscal cliff legislation, known as the American Taxpayer Relief Act (ATRA), delayed the date when Internal Revenue Service (IRS) tax returns may be filed. Today, January 30, is the first day when federal income returns will be accepted. The Louisiana Department of Revenue (LDR) will also begin to receive income tax returns today.
The majority of IRS tax returns are now filed electronically. In 2012, 80 percent of all federal tax returns were filed electronically, fulfilling a goal Congress set in 1998. Since 2007, the number of Louisiana taxpayers filing their taxes electronically has risen by 58 percent. In 2011, 1.6 million Louisiana taxpayers (82 percent of the total number of Louisiana taxpayers) e-filed filed their state income tax return.
With the increase in electronic filing, tax fraud has skyrocketed. At the federal level, tax fraud remains the third largest theft of federal funds (just behind Medicare/Medicaid and unemployment insurance fraud) and has risen to a record 1.1 million cases in 2011. With the rise in electronic filing of Louisiana state income tax returns, state tax fraud has also increased. Tax fraud cases in Louisiana directly discovered as a result of current theft protection measures have risen to almost 23,000 cases in 2012.
LDR has taken steps to prevent e-filing fraud in coordination with the IRS. When current Executive Counsel, Tim Barfield and Chief of Staff Jarrod Coniglio first arrived at the agency late in 2012, a priority was placed on protecting the public from tax fraud with the installation and integration of new fraud protection software.
"When I first saw the data and the growing possibility for millions of dollars to be stolen from the state of Louisiana, we wanted to put in measures that would immediately maximize LDR's efficiency to prevent tax fraud," Barfield said.
LDR worked during December 2012/January 2013 to develop a customized Louisiana-specific fraud protection computer interface. The new system required a significant testing phase to assure accuracy of the system, protect taxpayer identity, and secure all confidential taxpayer information.
All state income tax returns received on or after January 30, 2013, will be subject to identity verification through the new tax protection software. The first taxpayer returns will be processed February 15, 2013. Refunds will begin to be issued on February 26, 2013.
If a return is identified as questionable in the review process, the taxpayer will then be directed to a customized online data test or a telephone survey that will serve as a secure method to verify the identity and final certification of the return.
"We are confident this new system will help protect the public trust against tax fraud," Barfield stated. "Our goal is to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of this agency as we serve Louisiana taxpayers during the tax season."

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- Now that the Portland Timbers have tasted success, settling for a draw is more of a disappointment.
The Timbers extended their unbeaten streak to seven matches with a scoreless tie against the New England Revolution on Thursday night. Portland kept Revolution goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth busy with 22 shots, but couldn't find the back of the net.
Portland's streak is its longest without a loss since the team joined Major League Soccer in 2011. It demonstrates the turnaround the Timbers have made since last season, when they finished second-to-last in the Western Conference and out of the playoffs.
''Obviously it's not a loss, it's a tie. We get a point,'' said Timbers coach Caleb Porter, who took over the team this season. ''But we feel we let two points slip away.''
Shuttleworth was stellar, finishing with nine saves as the Timbers dominated possession. Donovan Ricketts had four saves for Portland.
The Timbers stand at 3-1-5 on the season and Thursday's draw was their first match without a goal.
''It's hard to say we got shut out. We shut ourselves out,'' Portland midfielder Will Johnson said. ''We had our chances, they were there.''
The Revolution are 2-3-3, but remain winless on the road.
Portland was coming off a 3-2 road win Saturday against Sporting Kansas City. Rodney Wallace scored the winner for Portland in the 58th minute. The Revolution defeated the Philadelphia Union 2-2 on Saturday, snapping a five-match unbeaten streak
New England was without left back Chris Tierney after he was suspended a game ''for a reckless challenge that endangered the safety of his opponent,'' a tackle against Sebastian Le Toux last weekend against the Union. Tierney also was fined for the tackle.
Portland's Darlington Nagbe missed an opportunity in the 15th minute when he got a second chance on a shot that deflected off Shuttleworth but couldn't finish.
New England's Ryan Guy's attempt in the 42nd minute caromed off the fingertips of Ricketts and sailed just over the net, and the two teams went to the break at 0-0.
Portland forward Ryan Johnson's strike from inside the box in the 53rd minute was bobbled slightly by Shuttleworth, but he dived on it just as Johnson was coming in for a second chance.
The Timbers were hurt shortly thereafter when center back Mikael Silvestre went down and had to be carried from the field by a stretcher. He was replaced by Andrew Jean-Baptiste.
Silvestre was signed by Portland in February to bring some veteran experience to the backfield, after playing for English Premier League sides Manchester United from 1999-2008 and Arsenal from 2008-2010.
The extent of the 35-year-old defender's injury was not clear. Porter said after the game that he did not have an update on Silvestre.
Portland dominated possession for most of the rest of the match. Diego Valeri had a high-arcing free kick in the 68th minute that failed to reach teammate Wallace before Shuttleworth got to it. Valeri got a good look in the 82nd minute, but it went wide by just inches.
''Bobby did a nice job,'' New England coach Jay Heaps said. ''It's the second game in a row he's done a nice job, and it (Jeld-Wen) is a tough environment.''
Ricketts may have saved the game for the Timbers late in the match when he dived to stop a breakaway shot by Saer Sene.
It was Ricketts' third clean sheet of the season.
''You need to be hungry and you need to dig deep to win games,'' Porter said in the end. ''I thought we did that, but we just couldn't find the goal.''
The Timbers Army supporter's group unfurled a banner reading ''Boston, Oregon,'' and offered well wishes for Revolution defender Kevin Alston, who was diagnosed with leukemia and is out indefinitely. Another sign displayed at Jeld-Wen said ''Boston Strong.''
Portland also welcomed 8-year-old Atticus Lane-Dupre and his soccer team, the Green Machine, to the match. On Wednesday the Green Machine played the Timbers in a match arranged by the team and Make-A-Wish Oregon.
The Green Machine won 10-9, paced by Atticus' four goals, including the winner.
The attendance was announced at 20,674, the 39th sellout at Jeld-Wen Field.

Thank you! You did something special yesterday. You helped to provide the '44-Cent Cure' and care to nearly one-hundred-thousand 3rd world kids suffering from parasites. Yesterday, the SPIRIT 105.3 family rallied together to not only cure kids of the life threatening intestinal worms, but to also bring them the gift of clean water, sanitation facilities and health education through the efforts of World Concern. Because of your generosity, lives will continue to be transformed and kids like 13 year old Ambai in Kenya will be able to pursue his dream of becoming a doctor. If you missed the opportunity to make a gift to the '44-Cent Cure' yesterday, it's not too late. Click HERE to find out how.
I loved what 6th grader Tanner C. said after his Sunday school class in Auburn raised $6,000 for World Concern, "When I serve these people through the 44-Cent Cure, I felt like I was serving God…and that was such a great feeling." Thank you for your continued love and support!
- Paul

The Air Force announced it will retain additional airlift aircraft through fiscal year 2014 in response to a congressional mandate to retain an inventory of 358 intra-theater airlift aircraft. Included in that figure are nine C-130 aircraft belonging to the 914th Airlift Wing, down from the current inventory of 11.
The Fiscal Year 2013 National Defense Authorization Act, signed into law Jan. 3, included language directing the retention of additional intra-theater airlift aircraft above what was brought back in a previous AF proposal submitted in November of 2012.
"Although we were required to retain aircraft only through the end of this fiscal year, we extended the aircraft through FY14 to allow time to complete additional analysis and to coordinate with our stakeholders," said Secretary of the Air Force Michael Donley.
To develop options to comply with the guidance in the FY13 NDAA, Air Force officials established an Intra-theater Airlift Working Group, or IAWG, comprised of members from the Air National Guard, Air Force Reserve, Air Mobility Command and Headquarters Air Force.
"The task of the IAWG was to provide the secretary of the Air Force with recommendations for the locations, numbers, primary or back-up status, and duration of the aircraft we retained," explained Col. James Jacobson, chairman of the Intra-theater Airlift Working Group.
"The AF evaluated numerous criteria," Jacobson said. Among the criteria, the Air Force focused its attention on intra-theater airlift locations still affected by force structure reductions taken as part of the FY13 president's budget and locations that did not receive a backfill mission as part of the USAF total force proposal."
But, leaders pointed out that none of the aircraft are newly acquired. "These aircraft were all scheduled to be retired in 2013 and 2014," said Jacobson. "So, to meet the FY13 NDAA directive, we retained the aircraft and, in some cases, restored the associated personnel."
The service will reassess force structure during the FY15 budget cycle.

10 practical uses for QR codes in China
For years in the Econsultancy London offices there was a QR code stuck to the microwave that took the unsuspecting scanner to a video of George Dawes' song, 'Peanuts'.
The joke was that this QR code was a bit of an easter egg for anyone crazy enough to both have a QR reader app and be willing to scan in public ("Wow, you're a scanner, man. Far out.")
In China, QR codes are less of a joke. Much less.
Here are 10 ways they are used.
Three mobile marketing trends that didn't live up to the hype
Mobile marketing trends come and go, just like the changing of the seasons and the tides of the sea.
Some stick around and become established marketing channels in their own right, such as SMS or mobile apps, but all too often new mobile technologies burn brightly for a short period before withering and dying.
With this in mind, I've rounded up three mobile marketing trends that have so far failed to live up to the hype. I'm not saying they're dead yet, but they're on shaky ground.
For a similar grumblings about mobile trends, read my post looking at 12 usability flaws that are spoiling the mobile web.
Or alternatively, expand your knowledge of this topic by downloading the Econsultancy Mobile Marketing and Commerce Report 2013...
Six mobile marketing alternatives to QR codes
Oh QR code, how did you fall from grace so soon?
Perhaps it was around the same time that advertisers started putting really tiny ones on posters, plastered on Underground walls on the wrong side of the platform, thereby making users dangle their arms over the train tracks smartphone in hands, oblivious to an oncoming train about to rip their arms off.
I might have made that last bit up, but if you live outside of London you'd be forgiven for thinking it's true.
Perhaps I need a more scientific approach to gauge popular consensus on the use of QR codes.
Here's a flow chart recently shared around the internet that helps companies decide if they might need a QR code or not.
How to achieve what QR codes promised, but couldn't deliver
What was the year? 2009? 2010? QR codes were 'the next big thing'. They had such great promise. Turn any print advertisement, packaging or promotional experience into a digital touchpoint.
Richer engagement. Richer analytics. But they never delivered. (Some people perpetually say 'next year' is the year for mass adoption).
But there is one technology that comes pre-installed on 100% of handsets and which can exceed both the engagement and analytics that QR codes promised.
Five examples of QR code campaigns that actually worked
QR codes often get slated for being ugly and unpopular with consumers, but they still frequently crop up on ads and billboards so marketers must still see some potential in these little pixelated squares.
Often the problem with QR codes is that they are badly implemented, while it's all too easy to find examples of codes that are impossible to scan.
However, when marketers take care over the user experience, the technology can be put to good use, with Toyota being a notable example.
Having previously highlighted six examples of QR code campaigns that actually worked I thought it would be worth trawling the internet to see if any new case studies had cropped up.
Could Argos do more to integrate digital into its print catalogue?
While strolling around Farringdon the other day I was handed a copy of the new Argos catalogue by a cheery store employee.
Having already reviewed several of Argos' digital products, including its mobile app, I thought it would be interesting to see how the company integrates digital elements into its catalogue.
Print has long been the backbone of Argos' business and no doubt still is, yet as times change digital will become a more important revenue stream.
So, here's a quick look at how Argos is adapting to the changing times...
Eight ways estate agents can make the most of mobile
Like most people I'm not a huge fan of estate agents, but like most people I'm also nosey and want to peek inside homes down my street.
This means that even though I am not in the market for a new home I find myself browsing estate agent websites more frequently than I perhaps should.
In general my snooping takes place on my mobile phone after I've spotted a 'for sale' sign while strolling to the tube, and as I don't want to believe that I'm the only person in the world guilty of this behaviour I feel that mobile is an area that estate agents should be looking to exploit.
If someone sees a house up for sale or rent and wants to know more then it's a good idea to allow them to access the details there and then, otherwise they may forget to look up the information when they finally get home or to work.
Five ways to create marketing worth sharing
Don Draper has left the building is an announcement bound to dismay any woman with a pulse, but it should hearten marketers.
That's because Don Draper represents the old school of marketing, said Tom Fishburne, CEO of Marketoon Studios, at Integrated Marketing Week earlier this month.
In the Draper model, marketers decided what the brand stood for and what its strategy was. Every touch point with the customer was controlled.
Today those touch points have exploded and marketers have far less control, said Fishburne. To succeed in such an environment, we need to create marketing worth sharing, he continued, outlining five guiding principles.
How Evans Cycles uses QR codes in-store to deliver product details and reviews
The high street's struggles with ecommerce and the digital age have been well publicised in the past 12 months as a number of previously dominant brands have gone to the wall.
And in general the brands that have thrived are those that were quick to adapt and integrate digital technologies in-store, such as John Lewis and House of Fraser.
In our report How The Internet Can Save The High Street we detailed some of the new tactics and strategies that retailers should be trying to take advantage of, such as click-and-collect, mobile search, apps and QR codes.
QR codes are a much-maligned technology - particularly by us – however they can be used in-store to allow customers to access additional product information and reviews.
QR codes: the good, the bad and the ugly
Over the past couple of years, QR codes have cropped up everywhere from billboards to ketchup bottles, and have become a must-have gimmick for some marketers.
At our Digital Cream event this week, I was discussing QR and mobile marketing with Mark Brill, who had been moderating the mobile roundtable.
The upshot is that, when used well, QR codes can be a useful tactic for marketers, when used badly they're utterly pointless.
Mark showed me some excellent examples of QR codes, good and bad, from his Pinterest page.
Here is a selection of those....
Five reasons why QR and AR won't take off on the London Underground
This is Sartre.
This is me scratching an itch.
Although there are plenty of statistics that suggest people have scanned QR codes out and about, used Blippar watching television and Aurasma whilst reading their sportsday match programmes, I'm a bit of a sceptic.
Virgin's provision of free WiFi on the London Underground, the service notably being free to use on Vodafone and EE, has led many to ponder how this will impact on marketing and advertising in the subterranean rat race.
Some have claimed augmented reality (AR) will start to take off as the technology matures along with marketers, and there's a signal to enable web content for QR codes/ RFID and the like.
However, unless scanning is heavily incentivised, I'm of the opinion there are at least five reasons why this isn't going to be heavily adopted, and you can agree or disagree in our comments section below.
Five things Diageo learned from using QR codes to personalise whiskey bottles
One of the loftier goals associated with the increased adoption of smartphones is the creation of the 'the internet of things'.
More than just a catchy phrase, the idea is that digital technology can be used to connect everything in the physical world to the web with smartphones acting as a universal remote to control our surroundings.
The opportunities that this presents for brands were discussed by Evrythng's Andy Hobsbawm and Diageo's Venky Balakrishnan at Econsultancy's JUMP New York event.
Hobsbawm began by highlighting examples of products that are already blurring the lines between real life and digital, such as a central heating system called Nest that learns to control the temperature of the owner's home based on their previous behaviour.

Intel® Identity Protection Technology with PTD
Transaction authorization
Intel® Identity Protection Technology (Intel® IPT)1 with Protected transaction display (PTD) can display information to the user and receive input from the user using a separate embedded processor. Information displayed (such as PIN pad or CAPTCHA) using PTD is designed to only be visible to a user physically present in front of the device. Therefore, meaningful user interaction with such information helps indicate user presence.
This powerful capability helps mitigate against malware such as screen scrapers, keystroke loggers, bots, and man-in-the-middle (MitM) or man-in-the-browser (MitB). Since PTD relies on device hardware, it enables stronger security compared to software-only solutions1. It also provides built-in ease-of-use and a cost advantage over external hardware and SMS-based solutions.
Besides PIN pad and CAPTCHAs, PTD can also be used for financial transaction verification or protection of images in remote document display usages, such as teleradiology.
Product and Performance Information
No computer system can provide absolute security. Requires an Intel® Identity Protection Technology-enabled system, including an enabled Intel® processor, enabled chipset, firmware, software, and Intel integrated graphics (in some cases) and participating website/service. Intel assumes no liability for lost or stolen data and/or systems or any resulting damages. Consult your system manufacturer and/or software vendor for more information.

Spain offers €45 million to the UN climate change Adaptation Fund
The United Nations' Adaptation Fund has announced today that Spain is offering €45 million ($60 million) for short-term climate change adaptation needs in developing countries. This is one third of Spain's annual contribution to the pledge made by rich countries at the Copenhagen climate summit last year to provide $30 billion for immediate adaptation needs in poor countries over the next three years.
José Antonio Hernández de Toro, Oxfam International's climate change expert, said:
"Spain's contribution is a welcome vote of confidence that responds to long-standing calls from developing countries. Many poor nations believe the best way to get cash to adapt to the devastating effects of climate change is through the UN Adaptation Fund – rather than through other channels such as the World Bank - as it allows them to have direct access to the money."
"Rich countries must follow the example of the Spanish government and channel cash for immediate adaptation needs through the UN Adaptation Fund. That's the best way to ensure developing country ownership over adaptation planning, and will help regain much needed trust in the UN climate talks."
"Money for climate action in poor countries must come on top of rich countries' commitment to provide 0.7% of their national income as overseas aid. Extra resources are needed – they cannot be diverted from schools and hospitals."
"We expect all governments to guarantee that longer-term climate financing will be additional to their overseas aid commitments. With such an announcement, as current holder of the rotating EU Presidency, Spain could demonstrate that the EU is serious about increasing financial support which rises to the challenge of growing climate impacts in poor countries."

Notes aux rédactions
- As part of the Copenhagen Accord, signed in Copenhagen in December, rich countries pledged $30billion for 2010-2012. The amount the EU has pledged to make available is €7.2 billion (€2.4 billion every year), with Spain's contribution being €375 million (€125 million annually).
- Link to the press release by the UN Adaptation Fund: "Spain Contributes 45 Million Euros to the Adaptation Fund"
- The Adaptation Fund , established under the Kyoto Protocol, is set to become fully operational for the first time in 2010, with the purpose to finance concrete adaptation projects and programmes in developing countries. It's unique in that it allows developing countries to access funds directly, rather than through international 'implementing agencies', which have greatly reduced efficiency and limited ownership of resources. It is governed by a Board with majority representation from developing countries.
Until now, the Adaptation Fund was financed exclusively by a 2% levy on Certified Emission Reduction (CERs) -- the credits issued for projects under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). Depending on the carbon price of CDM credits, this is expected to generate up to $300 million per year by 2012.
- Examples of adaptation projects:
- To cope with increased flooding: upgrading national flood early warning systems and raising community awareness; building new homes and schools on raised foundations; building high platforms for emergency flood shelter; integrating flood risks into governmental planning and budget processes; creating a community-based action plan for responding to floods.
- To cope with lower, more erratic rainfall: upgrading national meteorological systems and medium-term forecasts; researching, testing and growing drought-tolerant crop varieties; installing efficient, low-cost irrigation systems; installing rain-water harvesting systems; spreading water-conserving farming practices.
- To cope with more severe hurricanes: upgrading hurricane early warning systems and community awareness; planting a mangrove 'bio-shield' along the coast to diffuse storm waves; changing building regulations to reinforce new infrastructure.
- To cope with increased flooding: upgrading national flood early warning systems and raising community awareness; building new homes and schools on raised foundations; building high platforms for emergency flood shelter; integrating flood risks into governmental planning and budget processes; creating a community-based action plan for responding to floods.

Silicon Valley gets its reality TV treatment
They have been panned by television critics and disavowed by their own industry. Even for the entrepreneurs-cum-co-stars of Bravo TV's "Start-ups: Silicon Valley," it is getting hard to put on a brave face.
"It's been a nightmare," confessed Sarah Austin, one of the series' six pretty twentysomethings who code, party and hustle their way to fame and riches - or at least try to - in San Francisco's bubbly tech fishbowl.
"I've had a lot of figures in Silicon Valley tell me that it was a mistake," Austin said. "I think sometimes that it wasn't worth it."
That is a little surprising, coming from an Internet personality (and self-described angel investor) whose first burst of notoriety came from uploading videos of herself crashing tech parties in 2006.
But her apprehension speaks to the scorn that has piled up like rush-hour traffic on Highway 101 for the eight-episode series.
Since Bravo announced the show in April, it has been greeted with horrified tweets and Facebook updates by geeks who feared the show would portray the Valley about as faithfully as "Jersey Shore" rendered the people of New Jersey. Tech blogger Sarah Lacy seemed to sum up the Valley's reaction with a plaintive post titled, "Randi Zuckerberg: How Could You Do This to Real Entrepreneurs?"
But with California's youth-obsessed startup economy booming - and seeping into popular culture (think "The Social Network") - a Valley reality show seemed like a no-brainer for Bravo. Once dedicated to arts programming, the NBCUniversal-owned cable channel is now known for series such as "Real Houswives of New Jersey" and "Top Chef" - and the "Bravo-lebrities" its shows have spawned.
Produced by Randi Zuckerberg, sister of the Facebook Inc founder, the show purports to follow six young entrepreneurs in their habitat as they write code, party and try to get venture capital funding.
'Brogrammers and blondes'
The plotline revolves around Ben and Hermione Way, a brother-and-sister duo from London who are short on original startup ideas but long on cheerfulness and good looks.
There's also Dwight Crow, a bundle of testosterone and the quintessential "brogrammer"; Austin, who is slotted halfheartedly into the blond vixen role; and David Murray, who ostensibly has coding chops and once worked at Google but just plays the typecasted gay guy trying to peddle a weight-loss app.
In the first episode, it is clear that what little hammed-up tension there is turns on the Hermione Way-Sarah Austin axis. Austin once had a fling with Ben Way, an incident his sister describes several times as "unprofessional."
The show's producers tap liberally into the overgrown-child-as-entrepreneur motif that might ring a bit too familiar to Valley denizens.
Crow is seen coding for long hours in his disheveled man-cave and downing liquor shots when he is let loose at night. The cast is seen heading to a crowded toga party, a familiar sight for, say, Facebook employees, who celebrated with a similar event in 2008.
Then there is the pitch meeting with angel investor Dave McClure, who met Hermione Way when he found her hungover and asleep under his conference table.
McClure gamely listens to a pitch from the Ways and promptly rejects them - but not before dispensing a pearl of startup-pitching wisdom that he likely conceived long before the cameras arrived: "You don't need to sweep me off my feet. You just need to be a good kisser."
Critics say they fear the show will makes startup life seem easy and glamorous while overlooking the endless grind and frequent failures that come before the success.
"The media wants to sell this story that you can come here, spend three days coding in your basement and then succeed overnight, but we learned the hard way it's not like that at all," said Jonathan Chin, the founder of Gothamlist, an e-commerce site in San Francisco that has yet to take off.
Still, he acknowledged, the Bravo program is the talk of the town. "Everybody's been talking about it, tweeting, sending Facebook messages."
Zuckerberg, who is launching her own media company, Zuckerberg Media, this week, said the show accurately captures the experiences of her cast. She said she would continue to roll out "nonfiction" TV productions in the Bay Area.
Zuckerberg sidestepped a question about what her friends and family thought of the show, saying only that no one close to her, including her husband or her brother Mark, have seen it yet.
"It's like doing a startup," she said. "At some point you just have to open up the alpha and let people see it."
'It's TV'
At the show's premiere party on Sunday night in San Francisco's Potrero Hill neighborhood, there were few Valley luminaries to be seen but plenty of young men in slim-cut suits and designer stubble and women in gauzy gowns and stilettos. They noshed on pizzas served on vinyl records and crispy cones of kampachi tartare that came perched in the holes of DVD discs - along with slabs of sushi served on iPads, an idea conceived by Zuckerberg's production team, said caterer Joshua Charles.
"The party seemed reminiscent of 1999," said Brooke Hammerling, a veteran tech industry public-relations executive who is based in New York. "None of those on the program, including Randi, were in the tech world in the first generation of the dot-com world, when we saw the lack of awareness of what was going on around us."
Hammerling feared the women in the show would be portrayed as stereotypes, more concerned about fashion and socializing than the business of technology.
But Hermione Way made no apologies on Sunday night as she swept into the party clad in a glittery gold dress.
"It's TV. People want to look at glamorous people, so it was a balance of finding the tech and being entertaining enough to look at," Way told Reuters.
"I'm a 27-year-old single girl," she added. "Do I like to party? Yeah. Do I like to look really f-ing hot? Yeah."

And after that?
"World domination," she replied without skipping a beat.

I have devoted my career to studying childhood injury and injury prevention. I have conducted seminal research on the effectiveness of bicycle helmets and developed programs to promote helmet use that have been copied and implemented around the world. These programs have led to a significant reduction in the number of children sustaining bicycle-related traumatic brain injury and death. My research has contributed to a better understanding of the role of gun ownership in violence in the home, the impact of intimate partner violence on the family, the societal costs of intimate partner violence, the epidemiology and prevention of pedestrian injuries, the outcome after trauma in children and adults, the role of alcohol in trauma and the effect of brief intervention programs on reducing alcohol use, and the prevention of alcohol abuse. My current research is on the long term disability after traumatic brain injury in children, interventions to reduce the prevalence of PTSD after traumatic injury in adolescents, and the genetic factors associated with poor recovery from trauma. I am the author of over 390 publications, the majority on injury control.

The closed-loop design we discuss here consists of four unique elements:
1.Patterned stimulation to induce network plasticity. This low-frequency (~3 Hz) training stimulation differs from most studies of cultured networks, where plasticity was induced by high frequency tetanic stimulations [15],[17].
2.Continuous low-frequency background stimulation (~3 Hz) to stabilize accumulated plasticity [19], which is analogous to continuous sensory inputs and ongoing processing in the brain.
Population coding for motor mapping. Population coding is considered a robust means to represent movement directions in the primary motor cortex [21].
Adaptive selection of training stimulation. Because the connectivity in a cultured network is not predictable, the effects of a given training stimulation cannot be known a priori. Thus we delivered training stimulation contingent on the animat's performance in order to direct changes in network connectivity that further shift the animat's behavior toward the desired behavior.
We developed tools [1]–[3] for closing the sensory-motor loop between a cultured network and a robot or an artificial animal (animat) [4] in order to study learning directly through behavior of the artificial body and its interaction with its environment

text: Professional Development for Hillel Employees by Phil Nordlinger |Mar 10, 2014|Comments In the winter of 2012, we came together, Hillel directors from across the country, from California to New York and places in between to form the first cohort of the David M. Cohen Fellowship, an 18 month professional development experience. What brought us together was the interest each of us had in cultivating our leadership skills and growing as Hillel professionals. During the few days that we met in Washington, D.C., we immersed ourselves in self-exploration and discovery. We analyzed how our values inform our leadership and how professional and personal barriers, relationships with our board members, balancing work and home life, lack of resources, and so forth need to be addressed in order for us to grow as effective leaders. We parted after three days, better acquainted with one another, to go our separate ways to begin the second component of the Cohen Fellowship. Over the course of the next twelve months, each director was paired with an executive coach with whom we developed a personal, individualized leadership growth plan. I spoke with my coach on a bi-weekly basis and the hour that we spent on the phone was sacred and distinct from the rest of the work week. I placed a "please do not disturb" sign on my door and shut out the world for 60 minutes. During those conversations there were moments of deep reveal and struggle and I experienced setbacks and worked to overcome them, am still working to overcome them. Now though, through the coaching experience, I have the tools I need to embrace the challenge of self-reflection. The capstone of the Cohen Fellowship took place in the winter of 2013. We assessed the truth of our present moment and explored four practices that distinguish great leaders; reflection, values clarification, meeting unmet needs and practicing beginner's mind. When I look back on the experience, the most important lessons I learned, the lessons integral to my success as a leader are; how to be critically honest with myself, how to develop vision and strategies that enable me to be proactive rather than reactive, and how, when dealing with challenging, interpersonal relationships the one truth that can be relied on, is the only behavior I can expect to change is my own. After three days, inspired by tales of personal growth and accomplishment, we left D.C. with confidence in our ability to lead and as a cohort of new friends. Phil Nordlinger is in his sixth year as Director of Hillel at Temple University. He received his B.A. in English literature from the University of Maryland and his EdM. From Temple University in secondary English Education. Phil has worked in the Jewish communal world since 1997 and lives in Elkins Park, PA, with his three children Jenna, Ari and Evan.

UH medical professor co-authors new handbook on polytraumaUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Director of Communications, Office of Dean of Medicine
Dr. Henry Lew, (808) 692-1582
Department Chair and Professor, John A. Burns School of Medicine
On Patriot Day (September 11, 2013), the John A. Burns School of Medicine respectfully announces the publishing of the Handbook of Polytrauma Care and Rehabilitation by David X. Cifu, MD, and Henry L. Lew, MD, PhD. Dr. Lew is Chair of the Communication Sciences and Disorders Department at the University of Hawai`i medical school.
Handbook of Polytrauma Care and Rehabilitation summarizes the most frequent medical and psychological problems encountered by combat survivors and patients with concurrent injuries to the brain and other body systems. The book offers a roadmap for clinicians on how to initiate and follow through with the continuum of care necessary to achieving positive outcomes. Individual chapters focus on the myriad problems and conditions that polytrauma patients present with, including traumatic brain injury, concussion, spinal cord injury, amputation, and PTSD and other medical and psychological issues such as pain, depression, headache, insomnia, fatigue, alcohol and substance abuse, dizziness, light sensitivity, and work and family issues. Algorithms and detailed appendices provide guides for assessment and medical treatment that can be used in daily practice.
Demos Medical Publishing, LLC, notes that the Handbook of Polytrauma Care and Rehabilitation is the first medical text of its kind focused on polytrauma, covering the medical physical, psychological and vocational issues encountered by U.S. servicemen and women who served in wars that followed the 2001 attacks on the U.S. "The authors worked directly with the Veteran's Affairs, military and academic sectors in the care of these patients," said publisher Beth Kaufman Barry.
Dr. Henry Lew has served as an expert consultant for the Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center, while working with many collaborators on the mainland and internationally. In 2012, Dr. Lew was a guest editor for a special, single-topic issue about sensory and communicative disorders in traumatic brain injury in the Journal of Rehabilitation Research & Development. That journal is the official journal of the Rehabilitation Research and Development Service of the Department of Veterans Affairs.
More information about the Handbook of Polytrauma Care and Rehabilitation may be found at http://www.demosmedpub.com/prod.aspx?prod_id=9781936287550.

For the U.S. Postal Service, that would be the Mail Recovery Center (MRC) in Atlanta, its official lost and found department. Known at one time as the Dead Letter Office, the Mail Recovery Center works to reunite undeliverable packages and letters with either sender or recipient.

Ah, summer. A time for all sorts of fun activities — hikes, cookouts, pool days, bike rides and more. And ow, summer. A time for all kinds of seasonal injuries and health emergencies. such as burns from the grill, tick bites, heat stroke and swimmers ear.
Be prepared with our Summer Survival Guide — we identify nine common summer ailments, explain what they look like and detail how to treat them. Our focus is on how to respond, but doctors note that the best way to enjoy your summer is by practicing prevention: wear sunscreen and bug spray, cover up when hiking in the woods and drink lots of water on hot days.
For those with pets, we've included information on what to do when your four-legged friend suffers similar injuries or problems.
Keep this guide handy — and get out there and enjoy the season.
Bee stings
What it looks like: A small red mark will appear, and there may be a stinger visible. You'll feel a sharp sting, but generally, you'll know you've been stung if you see the bee.
What to do: Use tweezers to scrape or pull the stinger out of the skin, says Dr. Brian J. Browne, chair of Emergency Medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and chief of the Emergency Department at the University of Maryland Medical Center. He then advises mixing a meat tenderizer rub with a little water to form a paste and applying it to the sting — a trick of the trade that he has found to be very effective on stings and ant bites. If you start to have an allergic reaction and experience hives or shortness of breath, go to the emergency room or contact your physician.
What not to do: Bees are often found together near flowers or food. If you get stung, try to remain calm so as not to aggravate any other nearby stingers. Definitely don't try to destroy a hive.
What it looks like: Burns of all kinds are seen in the summer — first degree sunburns, as well as second and third degree burns caused by the sun, grills, fireworks or boat motors. First-degree burns cause the skin to turn red. They can also make skin hot to the touch. Second and third degree burns will produce blisters and could seriously damage skin.
What to do: Many burns can be treated at home. Browne advises immediately cooling the burn by running the affected area under tap water. He likened skin burns to cooking meat — it continues to cook even after it's removed from the heat — so you'll want to be sure to cool the area immediately by immersing it in water or allowing water to pour over it. If the burn looks serious, consider seeing a doctor. Burns that might require a second look are ones that cover joints (like wrists, elbows or knees) or that are on hands, face or feet, Browne says. A doctor should see any burn that covers a significant area of skin, or one that appears to be infected. For first degree sunburns, apply an aloe lotion or gel to soothe the pain. For burns that blister, apply an over-the-counter burn cream and wrap the area with a bandage to prevent infection, Browne says.
What not to do: Avoid popping a blistered burn, as it leaves the area open to infection, Browne says. If it does pop, he advises carefully removing torn skin, applying burn cream and covering the area with a bandage.
What it looks like: A person who is dehydrated will likely be complaining of thirst, headache, shortness of breath and overall weakness, says Dr. Michael Zimring, director of travel medicine at Mercy Medical Center.
What to do: Drink water. If symptoms are severe, consider a trip to the emergency room for an IV.
What not to do: Zimring cautions against drinking just any liquid to rehydrate. Caffeine in sodas and tea, as well as alcohol in beer or wine, can actually act as dehydrating agents and add to the problem.
Heat Stroke
What it looks like: Heat stroke victims will be fatigued and weak and will also feel confused or be unconscious, Zimring says. The main difference between the less-serious heat exhaustion and heat stroke is the change in mental status — a heat exhaustion victim will feel weak but will have a normal mental status and be awake and alert, Zimring says.
What to do: If the victim is unconscious, Zimring advises that you call 911 or go straight to an emergency room. He recommends that you immediately start cooling down the body by going to a cool area indoors or in the shade and using a mister or spray bottle of water. Ice packs should be applied to the inner groin and underarms.
What not to do: Don't submerge the body in cold water — the bath will constrict blood vessels and only allow the surface of the body to get cold, Zimring says.
Poison Ivy
What it looks like: Poison ivy is a three-leafed plant that, when it comes into contact with skin, causes redness, itching, swelling and blisters. Often the rash creates lines or strands on the skin from they way it brushed against the body.
What to do: If you know you came into contact with the plant, immediately wash the affected area with soap and water, Zimring says. If you catch it in the first 10 minutes, you may avoid getting poison ivy. If you don't catch it in time and the rash appears, he recommends two things: first, if the area infected is small, apply an over-the-counter anti-itch cream, like cortisone. Second, if a widespread or sensitive area is infected, make an appointment to see your physician — a steroid injection or pill might be prescribed. Zimring noted that any clothes or animals that come into contact with poison ivy should be washed immediately. Clothes can carry traces of the plant for months, as can household pets.
What not to do: Don't scratch at the rash — picking at it can open wounds and lead to infection.
Scrapes and abrasions
What it looks like: Scrapes come in many forms, from deep wounds to skinned knees.
What to do: The first step is cleaning the wound and assessing the severity, Browne says. Use soap and water to clear the area of dirt and debris. If the wound is a deep separated laceration that needs to be pushed closed, or if the bleeding won't stop, Browne advises seeing a doctor. If the wound seems superficial, a good cleaning and a bandage should do the trick. Browne says not to abide be the "it needs air to heal" theory; instead, keep it covered to prevent infection. He recommends cleaning the area and putting on a new bandage at least once a day.
What not to do: Don't overdo it with the peroxide. Browne says peroxide works well for cleaning wounds, but it's not good to pour into a deep cut, or for soaking.
Anaphylactic Shock
What it looks like: Anaphylactic shock is an allergic reaction that can be the result of stings, bites, ingesting an allergen or more. Zimring says symptoms include shortness of breath or trouble breathing, abdominal pain, itching and hives.
What to do: If symptoms include shortness of breath, Zimring suggests calling 911 or heading to the ER. If hives appear first try taking an over-the-counter anti-allergy medicine, like Benadryl. If you're prone to allergic reactions and carry an Epipen, use it.
What not to do: Don't ignore it — severe allergic reactions can be fatal.
Swimmers Ear
What it looks like: Browne says swimmers ear is an infection in the outer ear canal. Symptoms can include irritation, mild pain in the ear and slight dripping of clear liquid.
What to do: If you're certain it's swimmers ear, Browne says a drop of vinegar has been known to be an excellent at-home cure. But he cautions that the vinegar could irritate other ear infections, so it's worth being checked out by a professional. Prescription ear drops may be advised.
What not to do: Don't hop back in the pool, as it can irritate the infection more.
Tick bite
What it looks like: A tick is a small insect that fastens itself onto humans or animals and feeds on their blood. Typically, there will be a small red area that looks like a bite with the tick's body visible on the skin.
What to do: Zimring says it's important to immediately remove the tick and clean the area. Use tweezers, and grasp as close to the head as possible without squeezing the bloated tick body. Clean the area with rubbing alcohol or soapy water. If the tick bite is accompanied by flu-like symptoms (fever, chills, muscle aches, headache), or if there is a reddish rash surrounding the bite, it's important to see a doctor, as it could be a sign of a tick-borne infection, like lyme disease, Zimring says. If the tick has been in your skin for more than 24 hours, or if you're unsure how long it has been there, remove the tick and call your physician, as a preventative early dose of antibiotic might be recommended.
What not to do: Don't cover the tick with nail polish to try to suffocate it. It is important to get it out of the body.
911 for your cat or dog
Summer sickness isn't limited to humans — watch for these common hot weather pet problems.
Paw burns or cuts
What it looks like: Your pet will likely be limping or avoiding walking on the affected paw, says Kim Hammond, owner and director of Falls Road Animal Hospital. The paw might be red, and the pad might be cracked, he said.
What to do: If the pad is torn, raw or bleeding, Hammond recommends you take your pet to its vet for a checkup, as this can lead to infection. Pad burns aren't always serious, but they're difficult to treat, as bandages typically need to be applied, and animals can't easily be told not to lick or mess with the affected area.
What not to do: Don't ignore limping or tenderness to your pet's limbs. The symptoms are general and could point to a more serious condition, like a torn ligament.
Heat exhaustion or dehydration
What it looks like: Your pet will look lethargic, Hammond says. A dog will likely be sitting down with its tongue hanging out, and the end of the tongue might be starting to swell, he says. Severe symptoms include collapsing or the mucus membranes turning bright red.
What to do: Get your pet into a cool space with wind blowing on it. Hammond recommends getting a dog inside in the air conditioning, providing it with water and having a fan blow air on it. If the dog collapses or appears to be having trouble breathing, take it to a vet immediately.
What not to do: Avoid taking short-snouted dogs on walks when it's too hot or humid outside.
Giardia or Parasite
What it looks like: Your pet will be vomiting or will have diarrhea, Hammond says.
What to do: Hammond suggests taking your pet to see a vet or dropping off a stool sample with the vet. Animals can get parasites from drinking creek water, a common activity in the summer.
What not to do: Don't write it off as a common sickness — some parasites can be passed from dogs to humans, so you might be putting the people in your home at risk.

Hello everyone!
Aah, the most exciting part of development on SSF4 is approaching fast, and the office is becoming a whirlwind of activity. I've mentioned this numerous times on the SF4 blog as well, but we've got staff doing their very best to make this a fantastic game. Moreover, in order for them to keep peace of mind and be able to work well, there are staff members supporting them from behind the scenes. All these people are the pride and joy that make the game. Development goes on!
Now, the last blog entry where I showed those Character Select illustration was surprisingly popular. I'm so happy! And to all you people who voiced your opinions on Dee Jay's portraits, thank you so much!
... The Character Select screen is literally taking shape as we speak. Actually, you might think we were making a decision between those two choices, but it seems our lead designer Gauge has really embraced everyone's comments, and provided a new and improved version!! (H-hey!)
Here it is!!
...well, I guess you might not be able to tell by just a glance...
Here are the two versions from last time. It looks pretty much the same, but he really went and redrew it?
Ah, well, it looks great, so I'm not mad. I guess complaining would be pointless.
Well, while we're at it, let's take a look at the creation process for the core character Ryu's Character Select portrait.
First, the screenshot is retouched.
Pretty much everything except his dougi is totally redrawn!
Breathe some life into him, and it's perfect!
With a little help of SF4's Art Directer, Ikeno, you can see the determination in his eyes, and the fighting spirit in his fists - and with that Ryu is born.
One more thing!
The Characters page at the official site will not just display the new characters, but little by little all 25 returning characters will be added! Also, although they only show pictures and character profiles right now, we're arranging some sample voice clips as well, so stay tuned!
By the way... the voice samples are still a ways off, but aren't you curious about who's playing Dee Jay, Hawk and Juri?
You want to know, right!?
Yeah, you want to know!!
...Right, so here's the cast!
Dee Jay: Kenji Hamada
T. Hawk: Tôru Nara
Juri: Eri Kitamura
They already did a little talking in the New Characters trailer, so I think maybe some of you already recognized the voices!
You might know Eri Kitamura as Yatterman-1 in Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom.
As Yatterman-1, you'd hear the energetic young hero say things like...
"I'm counting on you, Yatter-Wan!" 「頼むぞ、ヤッターワン!」
"The origin of Mecha!" 「メカの素だ!」
"He he, how about that!" 「へへっ、どんなもんだい!」
But as Juri...
"I'll sting you! Down to the bone!" 「食ってやるよ! 骨までなぁ!」
"Hey there... I'll kill you!" 「そ~ら・・・殺しちゃうよ!」
"Oh you're worthless, I can't feel a thing" 「おまえじゃぁぜんぜんダメ、感じない」
That's scary... real scary! It's like a completely different Kitamura!
She has plenty of other quotes that are exciting in every sense of the word, so that's something to look forward to!!
OK, so today I've talked a lot about the Character Select illustrations as well as announced the new additions to the voice cast!
Hey, next friday is Dee Jay's birthday! Hm, I guess I was a little early in presenting his Character Select portrait... On a related note, next Thursday is El Fuerte's birthday. And with that, I bid you farewell until next week.

I ordered this cover because my dog scratched the dashboard beyond repair. This cover fits and is molded to the contours of my specific dash, hiding the scratches. There are holes for the ventilation but none for the speakers but it doesn't matter, the music plays right through it. I am very pleased with this cover.

The fight over who gets to operate Florida's trauma centers is far from over, but a marathon negotiating session Thursday identified some common ground the Department of Health says it will use to revise a proposed rule for granting new centers.
Long-established trauma centers have tried to limit the proliferation of new ones, which has led to dozens of legal and administrative challenges. Many of the new trauma centers are at hospitals owned by the powerful for-profit chain HCA.
Both sides have criticized portions of the Department of Health's proposal, which uses a point system and a handful of criteria to determine if new trauma centers are warranted. Thursday's negotiation session was intended to help build a consensus among stakeholders so the DOH could finalize its rule before an April 1 application deadline for new trauma centers.
"I don't think we're that far off," DOH general counsel Jennifer Tschetter said at the end of the seven-hour discussion.
The group agreed that population, the number of severely injured patients who are treated in emergency rooms instead of trauma centers and the existence of other nearby trauma centers are all factors to include in the new criteria.
But the meeting was full of disagreement and debate about other parts of the new rule, such as a requirement that new trauma centers be at least 5 miles from existing ones. Some members of the committee suggested the radius be increased to 10 miles. Others said the criteria should be patient transport times, not distance.
Some complained that the state's rules for determining if a patient needs trauma care make it even harder to determine need.
"Not everyone agrees on the definition of a trauma patient, which is an issue of itself," said Dr. Darwin Ang, trauma surgeon at Ocala Regional Medical Center, one of the newer trauma centers.
The group agreed that there is no solid data to track transport time but the mileage question was unsettled, too.
Despite opposition from some of the long-standing trauma centers, Tschetter said she would not remove a category that allows county and city officials to express their support for new trauma centers. Representatives of hospitals with long-standing centers said fundraising and political posturing could be used to manipulate that process.
"No one's going to argue that we don't want a trauma center here," said Karen Putnal, a lawyer for St. Joseph's Hospital in Tampa, which has an established trauma center.
Once the DOH revises its trauma rule, there will be another round of public comment.
