Patients may ask their doctor for a referral, according to The Doctor's Clinic. If it is possible to choose the specialist to visit, check out the local doctors on a ratings site, like Healthgrades.Continue Reading
Sometimes, a primary care physician is not able to help a patient with a diagnosis or treatment for a rheumatic disease, like arthritis. When the condition ends up being more complex than the primary care doctor can handle, it is time to get the assistance of a rheumatology specialist. Most doctors usually end up giving their patients a referral to a specialist with whom the doctor is already acquainted. However, it is possible for the patient to look for a specialist of their own choosing.
There are many ratings websites, including Healthgrades, where patients can look up local rheumatology specialists. Sites like these give patients a chance to find out more about a potential doctor before even making the appointment. Consider looking for a specialist that is close by. According to Pinnacle Care, it is also important to look at their experience level. This is not just how long the doctor has been in the field, but also where they went to school, whether or not the specialist actively writes for any medical journals and if the doctor is a member of any medical associations.Learn more about Conditions & Diseases

TaKeCONTROL MOD
-----------------------------------------by XxXPachaXxX
Make your choice!
- Xtreme Performance
- Xtreme BatteryLife and Good Performance
- Balanced
Xtreme Performance:
This configuration will give you a full DUAL-CORE system, both cores will be enabled and both with scalable frequencies.
1) with free cpu both cores are enabled but at the min. frequency (es: 192/384/etc. MHZ)
2) when there is something to do, the cpu will spin up frequency up to the max. if required.
*In this configuration (and in others) there are also RAM settings done for 768mb of RAM.
*The memory settings will be very, very (really) good on Sense 4 build that are created for 1GB of RAM
Xtreme BatterySave (same performance as balanced, stock roms configuration):
This configuration will give you a systrem configured as MONO-CORE. The cpu1 is totally disabled, and you have the same performance of stock configuration because you have a MONO-Core at 1.5ghz (or your setting) with the full support from the Adreno 220 GPU. So, pratically, same stock performance but a lot of battery-saving and the same Memory settings of Performance Configuration (up).
Balanced (stock CPU configuration but with RAM enhancements):
This configuration will give you a stock CPU configuration, like in every rom up now, but with the memory configuration of Xtreme Performance Settings. So if you want to stay on stock CPU values, you can have the Memory enhancements on SENSE 4 or other roms. (you will earn performance)
-viperboy for his work on EvoLTE but i'm working on this from a week
-All devs and HTC and XDA!!!
° Tuned RAM Settings for all the 3 configuration
° Fixed some delay time loading apps caused by memory settings
° Disabled mpdecision daemon for performance configuration (save cpu power)
(not needed because it's a FULL Dual Core configuration so no needed to control the cores)
° Disabled mpdecision daemon for battery configuration (save cpu power)
(not needed because in Mono Core mode the cpu1 not needs to be controlled)
° Stock CPU configuration for balanced config. - tuned RAM settings
**Remember that if you like my work you can support me

Not much of a nude scene, but this hottie never did anything more. She drops her towel to seduce Stuart, but he declines and picks it back up while her lovely tit is seen from the side in the mirror at :24. She was one of Mudd's Women in the original Star Trek episode.

Italian sportswear manufacturer Colmar was facing a situation where they needed to optimize the procedures for receiving and shipping goods, automating the process of counting and verification of the goods and supporting the operations of packing and shipping.
The garments reach the company's Monza headquarters in boxes or clotheshorse by container or truck in large quantities – and it is the accuracy of delivery and the speed of movement of these garments that are key elements for Colmar operability. At the same time, the composition of packages and shipments, organized by customer, must be made on time and accurately, avoiding potential errors on the content.
Colmar's Technology partner in this demanding project – for both analysis and later stages of project development – was Italian IT company SAIT. Carlo Carminati, Sales Senior Manager for SAIT s.r.l., says that analysis of operating flows and needs have shown that the introduction of RFID technology in the processes of warehouse management can offer valuable support to those operations.
"In essence, RFID represents a starting point for the adoption of better solutions than other business processes are able to do," he says.
Complex Puzzle
The project had a rather large scope, seeking to retool various procedures/activities within Colmar's logistics. The 'do-list' included e.g. code generation and unique serial production of its care label with RFID tag; tagging and subsequent identification of the individual item; construction of gates and tunnel RFID for massive reading of the items received or dispatched; integration with the existing ERP system of the data read from the new logistics platform; and support to the phases of composition of packages with procedures sw and mobile RFID devices (Nordic ID Merlin).
"In addition, the generation of documentation needed to be made automatic," says Carminati.
The project, kicking off with the analysis phase, soon commenced with the actual construction of infrastructure, development of the required software components and testing. After those activities, proper training was provided for Colmar personnel and the system went online.
RFID Edge
Looking back, Carminati notes that, for instance, the construction of infrastructure featured many separate tasks. "There was the installation of RFID care label printers and the implementation of six RFID gates for two different warehouses."
"In addition, we realized an RFID tunnel for reading lying garments and created six positions for the composition of packages with integrated weighing systems, mobile terminals – which featured Nordic ID Merlin – and RFID related printers," Carminati says, adding that Nordic ID was involved in the project for a good reason: "Nordic ID readers offer the best performance available on the market and that was a key element for the over-all success of the project."
Smooth Success
With the system now up and running, it is clear to see that the project has brought major improvements. Receiving of the goods has been optimized, which means that the controls are faster and more accurate now. The flow of garments is more fluid, as individual garments are tracked in the early stages of reception and dispatch. As the accuracy of shipments improves, the streamlining of package composition becomes easier, too.
Furthermore, the integrated technology can be extended to cover also other Colmar processes, such as stock movements (deposits, picking) and traceability of garments during production and retail (quality control, ironing, inventory, antitheft). Also, some surprising benefits have surfaced along the way: e.g. using the new solution, Colmar has discovered and defeated some counterfeiting cases as well as grey market channels.
Room to Grow
Looking ahead, Carminati comments that the concept of tagging items can – in its most extensive evolution – be integrated with the Internet of Things (IoT).
"The Colmar products have onboard intelligence – in the form of the RFID tag – that today puts them in a position to communicate with IT systems that are dedicated to logistics. Tomorrow, the RFID tags can be used to engage in other forms of interaction, ranging from customer experience to brand protection and anti-counterfeiting."

Tentative Map
Generally, a subdivision is any division of land for the purpose of sale, lease, or financing and is governed by the State Subdivision Map Act. Subdivision is defined as "the division, by any subdivider, or any unit or units of improved or unimproved land, or any portion thereof, shown on the latest equalized county assessment roll as a unit or as contiguous units, for the purpose of sale, lease, or financing, whether immediate or future, except for leases of agricultural land for agricultural purposes." The Subdivision Map Act distinguishes between a subdivision of five or more residential parcels which is a Tentative Tract Map and one consisting of four or fewer residential parcels which is a Minor Subdivision or Parcel Map. In general, a subdivision of five or more residential parcels requires a tentative tract map and a final tract map; a subdivision of four or fewer residential parcels requires a tentative and final parcel map. In Chino, subdivisions for multi-family (high-density) require a public vote, if a zone change is being requested, in accordance with Measure M.
How do I begin the Tentative Map process?
In order to begin the Map process, you must complete a Land Use, Development & Subdivision Application and submit it along with all required information, and pay all applicable fees to the Planning Division. The day of submission will determine possible DRC and future Planning Commission and City Council agenda dates.
What type of hearing is required for a Map?
A Tentative Map is required to be reviewed at a public hearing by the Planning Commission. If approved by the Planning Commission, a Final Map must be submitted to the Public Works Department for review and approval by the City Council.
What is the review process for a Tentative Map?
- Talk to a planner to obtain information and an application.
- Submit completed application.
- Planning staff review.
- Design Review Committee reviews project with applicant.
- Application completeness and level of environmental review is determined.
- Notice of public hearing is advertised and posted.
- Staff makes a recommendation/decision.
- The Planning Commission public hearing takes place.
- 10 day appeal period.
- Submit Final Map Application to the Public Works Department
- City Council public hearing takes place.

"Space is a harsh, inhospitable frontier and we are explorers, not colonizers" — these are the words written by Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano about his experience of almost drowning in space on July 16, 2013 when his space suit developed a leak.
Parmitano, an Italian astronaut from the European Space Agency (ESA), embarked on a spacewalk mission last month accompanied by NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy. The two men were tasked with preparing for the attachment of a new Russian module on the International Space Station (ISS). However, the spacewalk ended just an hour after it began when Parmitano's helmet began to fill with liquid.
Parmitano's experience outside in the abyss was very limited, only having performed his first spacewalk a few weeks earlier. On July 9, he became the first Italian to step out into the blackness of space. During this first experience, he had a complication with an antifogging agent that had evaporated and irritated his eyes, but this was nothing compared to the eery feeling he was to experience a week later.
After Parmitano exited the space station's airlock on the July 16 spacewalk, things were going according to plan as he made his way towards the back of the ISS.
"It is pitch black outside, not the color black but rather a complete absence of light. I drink in the sight as I lean out to attach our safety cables. I feel completely at ease as I twist my body to let Chris go by," the astronaut wrote in his ESA blog.
Luca said he was running about 40 minutes ahead of schedule, and was about to start uncoiling a cable when he felt "something is wrong." The astronaut felt a cold drip of liquid on the back of his neck that he said was too cold to be sweat.
After he gathered up the courage, Parmitano informed NASA of what he could feel, and awaited further instructions about whether to continue with the mission. Cassidy began to make his way towards Luca to determine what the source of the water was.
"At first, we're both convinced that it must be drinking water from my flask that has leaked out through the straw, or else it's sweat," Parmitano wrote. "I can't see any liquid coming out of the drinking water valve either. When I inform Chris and Shane of this, we immediately receive the order to 'terminate' the sortie."
The astronaut began to make his trek back to the airlock, but found that his trip back would not be as easy as it was when he left earlier. He said he could feel that the water was increasing, and it started covering the sponge on his earphones, beginning to affect the communication system inside his helmet. After this, the water crept its way towards the front, almost completely covering his visor and obscuring his vision.
"At that moment, as I turn 'upside-down', two things happen: the Sun sets, and my ability to see – already compromised by the water – completely vanishes, making my eyes useless; but worse than that, the water covers my nose – a really awful sensation that I make worse by my vain attempts to move the water by shaking my head," the astronaut said.
He said at that moment, the upper part of his helmet was full of water, and he wasn't even sure whether his next breath would be air or liquid. Luca had to rely on his instincts to find the safety cable, which he followed towards the airlock.
"Finally, with a huge sense of relief, I peer through the curtain of water before my eyes and make out the thermal cover of the airlock: just a little further, and I'll be safe," Parmitano thought.
Luca sat and patiently waited for Chris while his helmet continued to fill with liquid. After what probably seemed like eternity, Parmitano finally saw Chris moving behind him to close the airlock for repressurization.
"The minutes of repressurization crawl by and finally, with an unexpected wave of relief, I see the internal door open and the whole team assembled there ready to help. They pull me out and as quickly as possible, [Karen Nyberg] unfastens my helmet and carefully lifts it over my head," the astronaut wrote. "The skills of our engineers and the technology surrounding us make things appear simple when they are not, and perhaps we forget this sometimes. Better not to forget."

Arundhati Roy Quotes About MadnessQuotes about: Madness
Anything's possible in Human Nature," Chacko said in his Reading Aloud voice. Talking to the darkness now, suddenly insensitive to his little fountain-haired niece. "Love. Madness. Hope. Infinite joy." Of the four things that were Possible in Human Nature, Rahel thought that Infinnate Joy sounded the saddest. Perhaps because of the way Chacko said it. Infinnate Joy. With a church sound to it. Like a sad fish with fins all over.
It is such a supreme folly to believe that nuclear weapons are deadly only if they're used. The fact that they exist at all, their presence in our lives, will wreak more havoc than we can begin to fathom. Nuclear weapons pervade our thinking. Control our behavior. Administer our societies. Inform our dreams. They bury themselves like meat hooks deep in the base of our brains. They are purveyors of madness. They are the ultimate colonizer. Whiter than any white man that ever lived. The very heart of whiteness.

Ching-He Huang Bio
Glamorous young food entrepreneur Ching-He Huang is the face of Chinese Food Made Easy and Easy Chinese: San Francisco. Born in Taiwan to Chinese parents, Ching was raised on freshly cooked home meals for which ingredients were always bought on a daily basis. Her major food influences stem from the traditional cooking styles of her farming-community grandparents, who lived in the countryside of southern Taiwan.
Alongside their paddy fields and bamboo farms, they also cultivated an orangery, a sweet potato patch and mango trees. For Ching, weekends were a chance to eat meals and snacks which originated from age-old recipes, fresh from the soil.
At the age of five, Ching and her family immigrated to South Africa where she was exposed to an entirely different diet and climate. As the only Chinese children in their school, she and her older brother caused a stir with their packed lunches of fried rice and vegetables with dried meat powder or cucumber pickle with chili.
The biggest change was to come when she was 11 years old. Ching moved again, this time to London. From her early teens, with her parents involved in running their own businesses and her mother often abroad, Ching had to cook the family meals. She was taught the basic philosophy behind Chinese cuisine (the emphasis on balancing yin and yang through hot and cold ingredients), but then was left to improvise alone.
As a self-taught cook, the experience was to be the inspiration behind launching her own food company. A TV presence seemed inevitable and, in 2005, Ching's Kitchen aired on UKTV Food. Since then Ching has made TV appearances on ITV's Saturday Cooks and Daily Cooks, UKTV's Market Kitchen and Channel Five's Cooking the Books. Ching's first cookbook, China Modern, was published in autumn 2006, and her second, Chinese Food Made Easy, accompanies the BBC TV series.

All things considered, the New Democrats had a good caucus meeting in Montreal this week, ahead of the House resuming on Monday.
A simmering insurrection against Tom Mulcair's continued leadership of the NDP had become the media fixation going into the event, and both Mulcair and the caucus dealt with it, effectively and publicly, in the first morning session of the two-day meeting.
Mulcair is staying until the leadership convention in October 2017. Period. He said so, as did the caucus, in giving him standing ovations at his opening speech to which the media were admitted. "Are we united?" caucus chair Charlie Angus yelled as the caucus later crowded behind Mulcair by a bank of hotel elevators. The answer was a resounding yes.
What they may have said behind closed doors, and over drinks, is another matter. But they successfully presented a united front. And when you consider what's happened to the NDP over the last year, from the election meltdown last October to the train wreck of the party's convention in April, that's a significant achievement.
Going from first in the polls at the start of the campaign to third place on election day, led to Mulcair being the first Canadian leader ever to be deposed in a leadership review, as he was by a 52-48 margin in Edmonton. Having been pummelled twice, Mulcair was probably entitled to spend the summer regaining his strength and spirit at his family cottage in the Laurentians. At the caucus, he looked tanned, rested and ready to resume play next week.
The grumbling among sitting and defeated MPs was largely about his absence from the summer circuit, as well as a serious decline in party fundraising, not to mention the NDP's slide to the low teens in the polls.
But the House is a place where Mulcair has home ice advantage. The NDP may have been reduced from official opposition to third party status, but Mulcair can still score lots of points in question period.
In Montreal, he said the NDP plans to hold the Liberals to account during the fall sitting. On a new health care accord with the provinces, for one thing. On climate change and a carbon price, for another, in implementing the Paris Agreement and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. On pipeline approvals, or not, beginning with the twinning of the Kinder Morgan line to Vancouver harbour. On overseas troop deployments, notably a UN role in Africa that may be more peace enforcement than peacekeeping. On delivering promises to First Nations on housing, education, water and a decent standard of living. The Liberals as well as the NDP both endorsed all 93 recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. In government, the Liberals have an opportunity to deliver, and the NDP can make it their mission to see that they do.
While the Liberals successfully wooed progressive voters, and framed a ballot question of change, they are moving back towards the pragmatic centre, as they always do in government. There is an opportunity during this sitting for Mulcair and the NDP to re-claim the high ground as the conscience of the progressive left, as well as the labour movement and young voters. This is the party of Tommy Douglas, Ed Broadbent, and Jack Layton. Those names personify the NDP's significant brand equity.
Even the NDP's present plight can be considered in a brighter light, when viewed through another prism.
The 44-member NDP caucus is the second largest in the party's history. It's not the Orange Wave, with 103 members in the class of 2011. But then, that was about Layton, especially in Quebec, which returned 59 NDP members in that historic election.
Okay, not the Orange Wave, but the NDP need to get over it, and work with what they've got.
The party is represented in the House in every province from Quebec to British Columbia. They have 16 seats in Quebec, eight in Ontario, two in Manitoba, three in Saskatchewan, one in Alberta in 14 in BC.
The NDP caucus is close to achieving gender parity—18 of their 44 MPs are women.
There is a lot of talent, including several first-term members with promising futures.
They have 13 months before their leadership convention, and so far as that goes they will have media coverage to themselves once the Conservatives elect their new leader next spring.
While no one is in a hurry to declare for the leadership, it's not as if no one wants the job. Peter Julian, Charlie Angus and Niki Ashton are names already in the mix. But if Julian, for example, were to declare this fall, he would have to relinquish his role as House leader; and the same would apply to Angus as caucus chair and Ashton as employment critic.
Two of the brightest lights of the NDP caucus, Nathan Cullen and Alexandre Boulerice, are taking a pass on the leadership race. Cullen wants to focus on his role as the NDP lead on the Special Committee on Electoral Reform, which begins a 17-city swing this week. Cullen already has limited time with his young family over the time it takes to travel back and forth between Ottawa and his riding of Skeena in northern BC. Basically, it's a day out and a day back.
The NDP has its share of challenges in re-gaining standing in the polls. They need to get back to 20 per cent to be competitive again. For that matter, the Conservatives need the NDP to get back to 20 per cent, because every one of those votes will come from the Liberals, now cruising in the high 40s.
From challenges to opportunities, the House is the place for the NDP beginning on Monday. And there's no one better to lead them in the House than Tom Mulcair, beyond the funk and back in fighting form.
Mr. Speaker, it's time to recognize the Hon. Member from Outremont.

Bohemia, NY (PRWEB) November 27, 2012
On November 27, Lorna Kleidman issued a statement in response to a recent article in the Tahoe Tribune about the benefits of kettlebell exercises.
The popularity of kettlebell exercises has grown significantly throughout the world since their inception in the 1700's. A recent article in the Tahoe Tribune talked about the history and various uses of the kettlebell for beginners and experienced weightlifters alike. The article stated that "because of the handle, the weight is much easier for most of my clients to hold. Also, for trainees not accustomed to lifting weights, kettlebells can be less intimidating and allow people to work harder than they might otherwise."
The article went on to describe a recent study conducted at the University of Wisconsin that aimed to prove the effectiveness of a specific kettlebell exercise called the kettlebell snatch. "The subjects, men and women between the ages of 29 and 46 years old, continuously performed kettlebell snatches during a 20-minute period. The study funded by the American Council on Exercise found that, 'In terms of calorie burning, these results are equivalent to running a six-minute mile pace, or cross-country skiing uphill at a fast pace.'"
Lorna Kleidman – an expert on kettlebell training – reacted to the article in a recent statement. "It is important for people to realize that kettlebell exercises are not only for experienced weightlifters. In fact, these exercises are especially intriguing for beginners precisely because they're easy they are to use, fun and effective in transforming the body."
Lorna Kleidman is a Three-Time World Champion and World Record holder in kettlebell sport and the most decorated kettlebell athlete in the country. She developed the innovative methods used in KettleX as a way to bring the benefits of the bells to everyone in an easy to use, comprehensive and fun format. Lorna has been teaching individuals and group classes for the past six years.

Total Coupon Dork
Last week I collected coupons from neighbors to get stocked up on this rice I like to eat with fish. It was the Uncle Bens Wild and Long grain rice but its the kind you heat in the Microwave for 90 sec and your done. I also scored some I can't believe its not butter for an unbelieveable price. I ended up with 18 packs of rice and 8 things of butter for 50 cents each. I was on cloud nine. Then this week the ads came in and I am just as excited for Nalley pickles to be on sale 3 for $5 so 1.66 each and I have 8 x 75 cent coupons for those. I am picking up some chex cereal for 1.25 a box and General Mills cereal for 1.66 a box. Oh and crackers for 1.25 a box. I am in coupon dork heaven right now!!

The Homestead
Our last trip of the summer took us up the Provo Canyon to the little nestled mountain valley town of Midway UT. We couldnt have picked a better time to go there with the changing of the seasons the mountians had the most beautiful views. Zoey pointed out that this must be where the Lorax lives becuse there are truffala trees in the mountians. We stayed 3 nights at the Homestead resort. It did not disappoint. The landscaping was beautiful and they had enough activites to keep my little family happy. We swam, golfed, shopped, horseback ride, went snorkeling in the 65ft warm crater. I even read a whole book while Zack wathed the BYU vs Utah game. We enjoyed wonderful snacks, the Simons restraunt, the Franny's diner and visited some friends in Heber. We had a wonderful time bringing our family closer together and enjoying some quality time!

This was an exciting day for little Zoey Lou. She has been waiting for months to go to preschool. She was so onery getting ready to go today. The most funny thing she threw a fit about was that she had no papers in her back pack, only a rock and a hairbrush. I had to tell her the papers come from school and she was all set if she really had a rock and a hair brush in her pack! She had no problems with me leaving her, and she reports that preschool is so much fun!!

Just not my thing....
I should really be better at telling about my kids and our lives. Honestly most of the time I have very little spare time and this is just one of those things I push off until later. But I had to share these pictures!! Zack took them in our back yard and I think they turned out very nice.

First Day of School!
The first day of School was bittersweet! I was excited to see them off yet secretly I miss having them around. The have both been in school this week since Wednesday and I got a taste of what my life will be like....well for the next little while and I have one word...YAHOOO! I think I will be able to accomplish so much of what I want and they will be learning and having fun with their friends at school. What a WIN/WIN situation! This Wednesday I was able to take Zoey to the Rec center all by herself and she loved it! I am glad I have these next few months to give her lots of mommy time before Izzy Mae gets here and hogs me up!

A Secular year ended
Its offical Chazz is done with Kindergarden! I am so proud of him and was near tears at his program today. He had a fashion show where he dressed up in his Jazz gear and had a basket ball and sweat bands on. He did such a great job singing too. He would hate that I said this but I really think he likes singing and is pretty good at it too. He is so excited to go to 1st grade and stay at school all day and eat lunch there too. Zyan is done with the 2nd grade tomorrow. I cannot believe how well she has done this year and how much she has learned. I think I forgot to post this but she made it into the second grade spelling bee. She did so well and made it through 4 rounds. She is great at reading and math and the only thing she needs to work on is her handwriting. She is excited for cursive in the third grade and I hope that she will have more of the same kids in her class again Zoey is longing for the day she can go to school! For now she goes to her pretend school (daycare) 2 mornings a week so I can keep up with all of my Huskiez work responsiblities. It counts for Zo because she gets to pack a sack lunch like Zy (its just her snack!).

Havianas - Rain or Shine
Havianas seem to adorn the feet of the masses come a little bit of sun, but now they've taken their cult brand one step further with the release of a new wellie range... hoorah! As a huge festival goer myself I'm over the moon about there being a range of exciting, innovative, colourful wellies to choose from as an alternative to the boring green Hunter ones. Havianas launched their new collection (which also includes new versions of their flipflops) in Selfridges last week. Daisy Lowe is the face of the campaign so you've got the cool stamp of approval too. Take a look at the video below for a sneak preview of the range and behind the scenes footage from the launch party... I can't wait to go down to the Shoe Gallery and take a peek myself.

Despite changes brought by the Affordable Care Act, advocates for a universal single-payer system say the current healthcare model is deeply flawed because it leaves consumers' access to care at the mercy of for-profit insurance companies.
Assemblyman Richard Gottfried, D-Manhattan, is sponsoring legislation that would create a universal single-payer healthcare system in New York state. At a public hearing in Rochester Monday to discuss hisNew York Health act, Gottfried said the plan would provide comprehensive health coverage for all New Yorkers and would be publicly funded.
"New York can have a universal health coverage system that covers all of us, without premiums and deductibles and co-pays and restricted networks," Gottfried said. "It could save New Yorkers over $20 billion a year by not having to pay for insurance company administrative personnel and profit."
"Additionally, healthcare providers would not have to hire an army of administrative personnel to fight with insurance companies to get paid," Gottfried said. "All of that is built into our health care costs now, and it would not be a cost hanging around our necks under New York Health."
Deborah Fasser, spokeswoman for the New York State Conference of BlueCross and BlueShield Plans, disagrees with Gottfried's assessment and his proposals for reform.
"A 'single payer health care system' means a health insurance system run by the government, inevitably leading to higher taxes, price controls, limited choice among plans and providers, health care rationing, and a loss of jobs in the health insurance industry," Fasser said. "It is a relic from years ago debate."
Fasser says that the Affordable Care Act attempts to balance a private sector solution with appropriate government oversight. "While not perfect and in need of revisions on a number of fronts, it is grounded in the benefits of private coverage," she said. "Instead of destroying the current system, we believe a more appropriate use of resources should be placed on improving it."
Colin O'Malley, organizing director of Metro Justice, says that while rising costs are an important issue affecting healthcare, we're also facing a moral crisis.
"Thousands of people die each year due to lack of access to proper medical care," O'Malley said, "while profits of billions are made by insurance companies."
"We have a solution which has been demonstrated by every industrialized nation in this world," O'Malley said, referring to the universal single-payer model. "It's a solution which provides real care for all people and actually reduces costs."
The Rev. Dr. Richard Gilbert, president of Interfaith Impact of New York State, says this legislation is about more than cutting costs.
"Healthcare is a human right," Gilbert said, "grounded in the moral fiber of major world religious traditions. It's not a commodity subject to political whims, economic theories, or social fashion, but grounded in the moral foundation of our very humanity."
Gilbert was one of several speakers expressing support for the proposed legislation. "It's passage is a moral imperative of our time," he said.
Assemblyman Gottfried is hosting a series of six public hearings across the state to discuss the proposed New York Health Act and seeking input on the shortcomings of the current healthcare system. The first hearing was held in Syracuselast week, and the next session will be in Buffalo on December 10.

Larry Klayman for Senate?
America's most litigious Clinton-hater mounts the hustings.
Earlier this week, Chatterbox mentioned in passing that Larry Klayman, the polymorphously litigious chairman and founder of Judicial Watch, had recently stepped down "to pursue other endeavors." Klayman, the prototype for Harry Claypool on The West Wing, spent the 1990s litigating on behalf of as many of Bill Clinton's sex accusers as he could find. Gennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, Linda Tripp, Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen Willey, and Dolly Kyle Browning were all Judicial Watch clients. Klayman was very possibly the only human being ever to formulate the thought that Robert Ray, the final independent counsel on Whitewater, did a rush job on his final Monicagate report. Judicial Watch also went long on Filegate, Chinagate, and the Wen Ho Lee affair. More recently, Klayman filed suit against Osama Bin Laden, al-Qaida, the Taliban, and the (now former) government of Iraq; Dick Cheney's secret energy task force; Richard Perle; Jacques Chirac; and the Dalai Lama. OK, he didn't sue the Dalai Lama. But Klayman did once sue his own mother (over who would pay nursing bills for his deceased grandmother).
Chatterbox speculated that Klayman quit Judicial Watch because he could no longer endure the cognitive dissonance of filing an endless stream of petty lawsuits while crusading against the evils of litigation. As usual, Chatterbox underestimated his man. The real reason Klayman left was to run for the United States Senate, where he pledges to "watch over Hillary Clinton's shoulder, expose her, and to stop her liberal agenda dead in it's [sic.] tracks. With Larry Klayman in the Senate, Hillary Clinton is more likely to wind up in the Big House, not the White House."
Klayman is running for the Florida seat that may or may not be vacated by presidential candidate Bob Graham. The overarching campaign theme is to carry Clinton-hatred into the next decade. Klayman doesn't work very hard to deny this. Opposition to Clinton is "not the only reason" he's running, he told Chatterbox, but "it's a reason. She's the head of the Democratic party." (This will be a rude shock to Terry McAuliffe, Sen. Tom Daschle, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, and the 10 people competing for the presidential nomination.) Klayman's campaign Web site elaborates various policy pledges: lowering taxes, combating abortion, cutting government spending, prosecuting corporate criminals, and democratizing Cuba. But these are trees, not the forest. All but three of Klayman's 10 position papers manage to work in the name "Clinton."
For Chatterbox, though, there's only issue in the Larry Klayman campaign, and it isn't the Clintons. If elected, will he pledge not to file any lawsuits for the next six years? "Categorically, no," Klayman said. Will he pledge not to sue anybody for the duration of his Senate campaign? "No. Look, it's a free country." Here's Chatterbox's suggested campaign slogan: "Vote for me … or I'll sue!"

Students gathered together in the gymnasium today shortly before 10 am for the #Enough! National Walkout Movement. Students were offered the option of a VoiceChoice; returning to class, peacefully protesting in the gymnasium or, on their own behalf, move outside to a pre-designated area. Some students remained indoors while others chose to move outdoors.
Expressions were shared in a variety of ways; some students displaying posters, other standing with friends. A small circle of students formed, holding hands with their heads lowered, standing in silence representing their show of peaceful protest. The circle began to grow as additional students joined in and banded together as one. One by one the circle grew from 10 students to 30+. Students returned back to class for the remainder of the day.

Art Journaling – 7 Week Series
In this series you will explore aspects of visual journaling.
VISUAL JOURNALING "Visual journaling is a creative way to express and record life's experiences, feelings, emotional reactions, or our inner world – visually and verbally. Essentially, visual journaling can become a potential key to the artmaking process.
Exploring our own thought process through visual journaling is essential in a world that is in a state of continuous change. Just as there are many ways to express oneself artistically, there are many ways to create visual journals. By committing to the visual journaling process, one can learn how to access his/her inner language of imagery and express it both visually and verbally, while exploring the connection between image and word. Through visual journaling one can also become capable of articulating connections between their own personal art-making experiences and the works of master and contemporary artists." – Michael Bell
This series is broken up into 7 lessons:
1. Color Confidence – Selecting and mixing colors
2. Motif – Handmade stencils, masks & stamps
3. Mediums – exploring paints, gels, gessos & pastes

Program encouraged creativity through competition
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo today announced the recipients of $340 million in full-day pre-kindergarten funding for 81 school districts and community-based organizations statewide, opening full-day classroom slots to nearly 37,000 children.
The funding, included in the 2014-15 state budget, is the first installment as part of the state's commitment to invest $1.5 billion over five years to build a statewide universal full-day pre-kindergarten program. The state's full-day pre-kindergarten program is designed to incentivize innovation and encourage creativity through competition.
"Training and educating young minds is one of the smartest investments we can make as a state, as studies demonstrate that pre-kindergarten has a long lasting, positive influence on our children's education and future success," Cuomo said. "The state budget this year included a major investment in early education, putting New York state on the path to become just the fourth state in the nation to establish universal full day pre-K. The awards we are announcing today will enable tens of thousands of children to attend pre-K classes, and represent another step in the state's work to prepare our students to compete in the 21st century economy."
Assemblyman John Ceretto announced the Niagara Falls City School District is receiving a $289,131 grant to fund pre-kindergarten. This grant comes in addition to the millions in pre-k funding Ceretto helped secure during budget negotiations this year.
Ceretto welcomed this grant money as an important component in engaging children in school at an even earlier age and getting their education started on the right track.
"A quality education is the most important thing we can provide our children," he said. "The grant money the Niagara Falls City School District is receiving is crucial in ensuring that happens. With universal pre-K a reality, our schools need all the help possible in getting this program off the ground properly, without breaking the backs of our taxpayers.
"Between the millions I fought for in the budget this year and the grant funding announced today, our schools are on the right path to giving our children the tools they need to succeed."

Miracle morning by Hal Elrod: its been quite a challenge sticking to it but I have actually done it and have found it super helpful in refreshing and stimulating my mind and productivity. If you wanna be a morning person but just don't know how, I really suggest you get your hands on this book and give it a go. Start with the simple 6 minute morning routine and work from there.
Bennetts nappy cream: this is by far my favorite nappy rash cream. To date Matteo has not had any nappy rashes and even on the rare occasion it gets a little red, 5 minutes after applying it on his cute lil bums its all gone. Not to mention any bumps I might have.

It's hard to put a finger on it—but there's something that makes Penelope Cruz the undeniable choice for Esquire's "Sexiest Woman Alive." Maybe it's her smoldering gaze. Perhaps it's her unruly mane of dark hair. Or maybe it's her captivating smile, which always seems to be concealing the juiciest secret.
And she's definitely got more than a few secrets.
Having been in Hollywood for 20+ years, Cruz has managed to remain more or less out of the spotlight when it comes to her personal life. In her interview with Chris Jones, Cruz refused to discuss her marriage, her children, the film she just worked on, the film she's currently working on, or her recent political stunt.
Does she come off as cold, or simply a perpetual mystery? Read the full story here and enjoy even more exclusive photos in your Next Issue app (Esquire, November 2014).
While you're at it, Esquire's got plenty of other ways to add a little more "sexy" to your day. Enjoy!

Most harbour porpoises found dead on the north–east coast of Scotland show signs of attack by sympatric bottlenose dolphins, but the reason(s) for these violent interactions remains unclear. Post–mortem examinations of stranded bottlenose dolphins indicate that five out of eight young calves from this same area were also killed by bottlenose dolphins. These data, together with direct observations of an aggressive interaction between an adult bottlenose dolphin and a dead bottlenose dolphin calf, provide strong evidence for infanticide in this population. The similarity in the size range of harbour porpoises and dolphin calves that showed signs of attack by bottlenose dolphins suggests that previously reported interspecific interactions could be related to this infanticidal behaviour. These findings appear to provide the first evidence of infanticide in cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoises). We suggest that infanticide must be considered as a factor shaping sociality in this and other species of cetaceans, and may have serious consequences for the viability of small populations.

Don't Miss the Governor's 13th Annual Surf Fishing Tournament – Oct. 3
Anglers are invited to participate in the Governor's 13th Annual Surf Fishing Tournament on Sunday, October 3. The competition is open to individuals of all ages and will be held from 6:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Island Beach State Park in Ocean County.
Surf fishing is a great family activity and the Governor's annual tournament offers the perfect opportunity for youngsters and adults to learn more about this relaxing and enjoyable sport. In addition, funds taken in through registration fees help provide surf fishing access, surf fishing instruction programs and equipment, and the purchase of specialized wheelchairs that provide beach access to the disabled and elderly. To date, nearly $100,000 has been raised at this annual event.
The tournament is sponsored by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's Division of Fish and Wildlife and Division of Parks and Forestry, the New Jersey Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs, Jersey Coast Anglers Association and the New Jersey Beach Buggy Association.
Registration is $10 for adults aged 18 and older (if postmarked by Sept. 10 deadline) or $15 to register on the day of the tournament, and $5 for teens aged 13-17. Children 12 and under are free, but must still register and be accompanied by an adult. Participants may register at the park in Pavilion #1 on the day of the tournament beginning at 5 a.m. Entry into the park is free to individuals who register for the Surf Fishing Tournament, although a $50 beach buggy weekend permit is required to drive on the beach and is available at the park entrance.
Storm/hurricane date is Sunday, October 10. Please note that it will take extreme conditions to force cancellation.
Eight species are eligible for entry in the tournament: albacore tuna, striped bass, blackfish, bluefish, fluke, kingfish, red drum and weakfish. Overall length will determine the winner. All fish must meet minimum length requirements.
The individual who catches the overall largest fish will be honored with the "Governor's Award" and have his/her name engraved on the Governor's Cup, which will be permanently displayed at Island Beach State Park. Fishing tackle and other equipment will be awarded to winners who catch the largest fish in each species category. Also featured is a special raffle for pre-registrants and an exhibit area at Pavilion #1 featuring sportsmen's clubs, conservation organizations and tackle manufacturers.
The Governor's tournament is an excellent opportunity for youngsters and adults, as well as the experienced and not-so-experienced, to try out the sport of surf fishing. Each year, a variety of impressively sized fish are caught.
In 2003, 38 fish were caught. The largest of each species included an 18 3/8" blackfish; 33 Ľ" bluefish; 18 7/8" fluke; 16 1/8" kingfish; and a 35 ˝" striped bass that was the Governor's Cup winning entry. The most common catch that day was bluefish with 17 entries.
Adults do not dominate tournament participation either. In fact, the grand prize winning striped bass was caught by 11-year-old Travis Laureigh of Bayville, Ocean County!
A total of 255 youngsters (157 aged 12 and under and 98 teens aged 13-17) took part in the event. Some of the first place winning entries in various youth categories included a 17" blackfish; 21 3/8" bluefish; 16 ˝" fluke; 13 ˝" kingfish; and a 32 7/8" striped bass.
A brochure containing rules, registration form and other important information can be obtained from the Division by calling 609-748-4347 or by printing the PDF version.

|Extensive Chromatin Fragmentation Improves Enrichment of Protein Binding Sites in Chromatin Immunoprecipitation Experiments

|Extensive sonication of formaldehyde-crosslinked chromatin can generate DNA fragments averaging 200 bp in length (range 75–300 bp). Fragmentation is largely random with respect to genomic region and nucleosome position. ChIP experiments employing such extensively fragmented samples show 2- to 4-fold increased enrichment of protein binding sites over control genomic regions, when compared to samples sonicated to a more conventional size range (300–500 bp). The basis of improved fold enrichments is that immunoprecipitation of protein-bound regions is unaffected by fragment size, whereas immunoprecipitation of control genomic regions decreases progressively along with reduced fragment size due to fewer nonspecific binding sites. The use of extensively sonicated samples improves mapping of protein binding sites, and it extends the dynamic range for quantitative measurements of histone density. We show that many yeast promoter regions are virtually devoid of histones.

1st ASARECA General Assembly at the Media center in Kampala
ASARECA, Ministry of Agriculture and NARO in joint partnership to fight Hunger, poverty Kampala; 25th November, 2011..The Association for Strengthening Agricultural Research in Eastern and Central Africa (ASARECA), has today entered into a partnership with the Government of Uganda's Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industries and fisheries (MAAIF) and the National Agricultural Research Organization to fight hunger and eradicate poverty in the region, especially in this 21st century. This was disclosed during the launch of the 1st ASARECA General Assembly scheduled to take place from 14th to 16th December, 2011, in Entebbe, Uganda. Uganda will be the first of the ten member countries to host the ASARECA General Assembly, which follows the approval of ASARECA's new constitution in 2010, providing for the establishment of Patron Ministers and a General Assembly. Speaking at the launch at the Uganda Media Center in Kampala, the Minster for Agriculture, Hon.
Tress Bucyanayandi said, "Given that the bulk of the region's population resides in the rural areas and depends on agriculture for income and sustenance, and given the low levels of productivity growth in the sector, hunger and malnutrition have deepened in East and Central Africa in the recent years. Climate change adds to the problems faced by our region, thus demanding extra effort in the fight to overcome important agricultural, social economic and environmental development challenges." He commended ASARECA for their strength in research which has seen the region make alot of progress in key areas in the sector, and added that the government is also playing its role, to ensure that agriculture is given priority because is a key determinant for the economy's progress. In his remarks, the Executive Director, ASARECA, Dr. Seyfu Ketema thanked the government of Uganda as well as their key partners, including donors, for the tremendous support, and added that the theme: "Feeding our region in the 21st Century", shall eb the main focus of this assembly because food is still a major problem in the region. "If we are able to feed all the 280 million people in our region, then most of our problems shall be managed", Ketema said.

Beckham hits ball hard in return
After sitting out five straight games nursing a sore left wrist, White Sox second baseman Gordon Beckham felt good enough to return to the starting lineup Friday night against the Royals.
"It's some soreness but no pain, so it's go time," Beckham said.
When he's been healthy this season, Beckham has been one of the few bright spots for the Sox. He was 0-for-3 with a walk against Kansas City and is batting .320.
Beckham hit the ball hard his first two times up against Royals starter James Shields, flying out to deep center both times. In his second at-bat, he missed a double down the right-field line by about an inch.
"It was one of those nights, and unfortunately they came with guys on base," Beckham said after the White Sox' 5-1 loss to K.C. "It stinks because it could have been a different game, I guess."
Manager Robin Ventura expects the Sox to be a better team with Beckham in the lineup.
"He was hitting stuff hard," Ventura said. "He had good at-bats all night. But that's the way the game is, it's not always fair."
Crain update:
There is still a chance ace White Sox relief pitcher Jesse Crain gets traded before Wednesday's nonwaiver deadline, but he'll still be on the disabled list with a strained right shoulder.
Crain hasn't felt good since throwing a bullpen session Tuesday. He's shutting everything down until early next week, and when he does resume throwing it will be initially light.
"Just take four or five days off, start throwing again next week, let it calm down and see where it goes from there," Crain said Friday. "I think our program coming back into it will be a little more conservative. We won't try to throw a pen probably as soon as we did, I think. Everybody was trying; obviously we wanted to be ready before the deadline."
Since he was in such high demand before going on the DL on June 30, interested teams could still acquire Crain in a trade before the deadline with the hunch he'll be healthy soon. The Sox can also move Crain in August, but he would have to clear waivers.
Block it out:
The Cardinals wanted to trade for shortstop Alexei Ramirez, but the White Sox turned it down.
Right fielder Alex Rios said no to a deal that would have sent him to the Yankees, one of the handful of teams on his no-trade list.
Both rumors were subsequently shot down, so it's been business as usual leading up to Wednesday's nonwaiver trade deadline. In other words, don't believe everything you read.
"There's a lot of stuff out there that's probably not true, but you know, that's what makes this time tough," Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "Anytime a guy's name is put in there, you know, these guys are thinking and talking that stuff to each other and, having been through it, it's not easy."

US marketers can no longer self-regulate
With the DMA announcing their new one million dollar PR campaign "Data-Driven Marketing Institute," the question of privacy and rules around customer data has become a greater focus of some of the panels this morning. Jordon Cohen of Moveable Ink, brought up the headline "Target knows a teenage girl is pregnant before her own father does" and posed the question: have we finally gone too far?
For those of you who didn't read this headline in February, an irate father charged into a Target store demanding they stop targeting his teenage daughter with emails full of baby products because she wasn't pregnant. It turns out Target was right, and the father was wrong. She was pregnant and her shift in product purchase at Target made the marketers behind the brand know of her news before any of the world may have known.
Jason Scoggins of Freshpair stressed that targeting has to go through a "creep" filter and in the case of the Target example, they went too far.
FTC seeks to expand restrictions on data collection from children
For more than a decade, companies in the United States operating websites that collect data from children have been required to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
At the time COPPA was implemented, the internet ecosystem was far less mature, and the law didn't cover all of the parties that today frequently collect data from children. So yesterday, the FTC published a proposal (PDF) with the intent of modifying COPPA to ensure that parties not currently governed by COPPA's rules are covered.
As European Commission sues five countries, is the cookie law starting to crumble?
For large organizations like the BBC, ignoring the recently-enacted EU cookie law probably isn't a viable option. Despite the headaches associated with implementing a solution, the threat of legal actions and fines probably outweighs the costs of compliance.
It's a different story for entrepreneurs and owners of small businesses, some of whom indicated a willingness to flout the law until given a reason to reconsider.
Even the EU can't comply with its own cookie law
If ibuprofen sales are up in the EU this year, it might have something to do with the nightmare known as the EU cookie law.
For major companies operating in affected countries, the solution to the problem has been, well, to find a solution to the problem. And for good reason: with the possibility of enforcement action, few businesses can afford not to address the law.
But apparently the EU itself can't be bothered with complying with its own rules.
The CROWDFUND Act: everything you need to know
Yesterday, United States President Barack Obama signed into law the JOBS Act, which may be the most significant update to securities regulations since Sarbanes–Oxley was passed in 2002.
One portion of the new law, the CROWDFUND Act, has been creating a lot of buzz in Silicon Valley for months, as it will make it legal for startups the ability to raise money in small chunks from large numbers of non-accredited investors.
France: stealing books isn't piracy when the government does it
If you were to download a copy of a copyrighted book through BitTorrent, you might be accused of stealing. And as piracy becomes a larger problem for publishers, you might even find yourself in court facing a lawsuit.
But there's good news: if you're the government, you don't have anything to worry about.
SOPA blackouts to go on, even if bill is dead (for now)
Parts of the internet will go black tomorrow. From Wikipedia and Reddit to the Cheezburger network and Major League Gaming, numerous highly-trafficked web properties say they'll shut down to protest the SOPA legislation that would make the internet far less free in the name of fighting piracy.
Even Google is going to be making a statement using its homepage.
The blackouts are going on despite the fact that SOPA is effectively dead -- for the time being.
Court: blogger isn't a journalist, owes $2.5m
In the age of the internet, every individual may have their own personal printing press, but that doesn't mean that the same legal protections afforded to journalists are always available to bloggers.
Something that Crystal Cox, an Oregon-based blogger who is facing a $2.5m judgment for publishing information an investment firm alleged was defamatory, knows all too well.
To save the children, does COPPA need to die?
The internet has changed the lives of billions of individuals and many of those individuals are children.
From services that provide educational tools to services that make it easier for children to interact with relatives far away, it's no surprise that the internet and internet-connected devices are used prolifically by younger and younger children today.
At the same time, the internet can be a dangerous place for kids. So it's no surprise that there are laws designed to protect children on the internet. But do some of those laws actually do the opposite?
ICO: take an extra year to chew on new cookie law
Wondering how your business will address the new law that requires users to opt in to cookies? There's good news: you can procrastinate.
That's because the ICO, perhaps facing the reality that the new law is fatally flawed, has decided to give everyone amnesty (as the Telegraph calls it) for violating the law over the course of the next year.
Forget grandma, the RIAA's next target is politicians
Enforcing copyright online has proven to be quite difficult. More than a decade after Napster brought the subject of digital piracy into the mainstream, content owners are still struggling to protect their rights on the internet. They have finally learned one thing though: suing grandmothers (and dead grandmothers) doesn't work.
So what are content owners doing? It appears they are turning their attention to a more receptive audience: politicians.
Italian Google convictions: a wake up call for UGC services
On Wednesday, an Italian court convicted three Google executives. Their crime? Google failed, in the eyes of the prosecutor, to pull down a video uploaded to Google Video.
The video, which showed several students in Turin bullying a classmate with Autism, resulted in 10 months of community service for the uploader. But because Google 'allowed' the video to be uploaded in the first place, an Italian prosecutor chose to charge four Google executives for criminal defamation and the violation of Italian privacy laws.
