"Overture. Curtains. Lights. This is the night of nights…" Grey's Anatomy celebrated its 200th episode with a pinch of the Las Vegas eccentric world on Thursday night. Through plenty of reminiscing moments, the landmark episode just reminded us why we love the show and the characters. It was a rather simple and modest episode. Shondaland gave us a present in an elegant way- there wasn't over the top drama and cheesiness, just the usual, routine hospital cases, everything packed with a dark and light sense of humour. What's more, to make the present look a little bit more glittery and sparkly, the doctors were wearing gowns and tuxedoes and drinking (warm) champagne at a fundraising gala event. They were trying to charm the pants off the snobbish Seattle rich people by pulling the big guns out- juggling, flirting with sparkles in their eyes, stories and rather inappropriate lies about dead spouses. An event that turned into a competition, a Wild West arena, where the only rule was that there were no rules and the more the zeros the better.
How did our beloved and tortured couple spend the night? In the very beginning of the episode Callie was ready to ditch the party and go home, because once again she made it perfectly clear that she couldn't stand being in the same room with her wife. However, Avery's evil incentive bound her to stay and she found herself talking to some admirer of her TED speech. What happened next was a callback scene from season 6 (episode 22, Shiny Happy People). This was the Calzona moment of reminiscing in the episode- an old and a new scene that had so much in common and yet so different. A short moment of locked eyes, speaking silently, a short moment of looks, conveying a range of raw emotions and feelings- regret, sadness, hurt, pain, longing, love. Eloquent expressions that were saying 'I hate to love you' and 'I love to hate you'. This short and intense moment was further emphasized by the soft and strong piano sounds creating the feeling of stillness, a few frozen seconds in time during which one could even forget to breathe. But this time Dr. Robbins ditched the party and ran away. Callie's eyes kept searching for her.
Dr. Torres was brought back to reality by the bow tie guy's voice, who apparently had misunderstood the fact that Dr. Robbins is still among the living. Unintentionally, he provided Callie with very dangerous "guns" to play with. Big guns, loaded with a dark, fat lie- indeed Dr. Torres had lost her wife in the horrific plane crash. Callie armed with a cold- surgeon competitive attitude heartlessly jumped onto the lying train and took full advantage of this convenient opportunity to empty some rich pockets. That night Callie Torres staged quite a performance, well executed one. However, in a very sad way, a real, old, rich and grieving widow spoke on behalf of Callie's inner turmoil and voiced her real feelings "Every night Harvey would whisper 'I love you' into my ear, just as I was falling asleep… Every night I feel like I can still can hear his voice". Something that Callie was fighting inside her and gave her moments of "Wait! What?" and just when it got too difficult for Callie to keep lying, Avery took the stage to make a speech. In the meantime one of the performers fell down and Dr. Torres found herself behind the safety walls of an OR. She eventually admitted to Owen how gross it was to lie about Arizona being dead.
Where did Arizona go after she left the party? Through none other than April Kepner herself we found out the answer. Dr. Robbins hid herself from the eyes of the world in a hospital supple closet. She was crying all alone, trying to get rid of all the suffocating feelings in this small and cluttered space. However, surprisingly to everyone, Dr. Robbins and crazy April Kepner formed quite a bond over a few bottles of champagne, some honesty and a great deal of laughter. And why wouldn't they? April seemed still confused about her feelings towards Jackson and Matthew and she is miserable. Arizona is miserable. So, instead of raising money for the hospital Miss Perkypants and Miss ex- Perkypants had a bubbly party on their own, raising glass after glass.
How did this improvised supply closet party happen? After witnessing Arizona's tears and overhearing Callie's lie, April made a quick decision- she left the Las Vegas party and decided to be a friend. That night April Kepner represented the face of compassion, kindness, empathy and honesty. No judging, she was simply there for Arizona.
During the first bubbly round, Dr. Robbins opened up a bit, shared her pain and gave a voice to the weight she has been carrying over her shoulders "Please, I grew up gay. I know what it feels like when people are staring. You're missing a leg, and they stare. And everyone knows you're a cheater, they stare. And they talk and they judge… Stare"
Maybe, just maybe, we were provided with a hint, a partial tiny answer to the question "Why did Arizona cheat?" Without mentioning the name and as painful as it was for our ears to even hear about Dr. I-Googled-You, but You-know-who also stared at Dr. Robbins in a good way and that made her feel good. Was this Arizona Robbins starting to process the overwhelming events that happened in the past year?
After two bottles of champagne, quite tipsy and all cheery Arizona and April were ready to empty a third one. April was rambling about her personal life and when Arizona asked if Callie would ever forgive her, she went full on drunken honesty- April spilled the beans on Callie's horrible lie and Arizona's smiley face just vanished with the whim of an eye and her poor heart sank deeper into her chest. Apparently, the third bottle of bubbly worked its magic and Arizona and April were laughing and joking around. Of course, it wouldn't be crazy April in her entire glory if she doesn't blurt out some of her epically hilarious lines in the most childish way "Can I try on your leg?" At first the funny question seemed to upset Arizona slightly, but the amount of alcohol in her blood stream made her laugh at April's joke. After that happily drunk April and Arizona took a cab, Leah made sure to see them off but not without ranting and complaining about her miserable life as an intern. All she got from tipsy Robbins was a boop on her nose and "You're adorable".
Other moments of reminiscing:
• MerDer had their sexy "prom" time;
• Cristina showed her sharky attitude;
• Bailey applied her own advice back from season 4 when Alex and Izzie had patients with the same stubbornness as Webber and the cancer guy;
• Shane and Edwards reminded us of the times in season 7 when Jackson and Lexie were handling the ER on their own;
• Alex did a paternity test and discovered his old junkie dad; the scene with Jo resembled the one from season 7 between Meredith and Cristina, when Meredith wanted to know if she had Alzheimer's;
• Owen might have met the future Mrs. Hunt, who coincidently happened to be a maternal fetal surgeon;
• Leah wanted to trade the Peds floor because per her she is not a babysitter. Neither was Alex.

A new law that goes into effect on Monday will allow certain Texas college students to carry guns on campus — but a legendary Texas police officer thinks that it's a "terrible" idea.
The Republican-backed law — which passed through the state Legislature last year — allows concealed handgun licence holders over 21 to carry their weapons on public college campuses.
The date coincides with the 50th anniversary of the 1966 University of Texas massacre, in which Charles Whitman, a US Marine-trained sniper, shot almost 50 people from the top of the school's iconic tower, leaving 15 dead.
Ramiro "Ray" Martinez, one of the Austin police officers who helped gun down the shooter, fears that the campus-carry law will lead to only more violence.
"I think it's terrible," Martinez told Business Insider. "I believe in the Second Amendment, but I believe there's a place and a time to have a weapon. And I don't think the campus is any place to be running around with a pistol."
Previously, licence holders could carry concealed firearms on campus streets, footpaths, and other outdoor areas. But the new law expands that territory to campus buildings, including classrooms, offices, and dorms.
Faculty can still declare their offices gun-free if they choose, but Martinez argues that professors will face constant danger and could even grow to distrust their students.
"It puts pressure on the professors," he said. "They don't know which person is going to be kind of unstable. And if they give them a bad grade, you know, they might be history."
Interestingly, Martinez got help from armed students on that tragic day in 1966. As he and other officers were climbing up to the tower's observation deck, some students on the ground attempted to pick off the sniper using hunting rifles.
The constant stream of bullets from below prevented the gunman from leaning over the ledge of the observation deck, restricting him to shooting through drain spouts for much of his 96-minute killing spree.
Martinez credits the students with saving lives.
"I think they did an excellent service because they kept the sniper from having free will up there to shoot at people," Martinez said. "The rifles they were using were effective and I'm glad they did."
"But by the same token, you don't go around with a damn rifle strapped around your shoulder going to school," he said.
Texas now joins a handful of other states that allow students to carry concealed weapons on campus.

Little Owls in Buckinghamshire
Saturday night came and Rob Cross and I found ourselves once again travelling through the early hours of the morning so we could meet with good friend Neil Neville in Buckinghamshire at 5am. For once we had an uneventful journey and arrived at 4.30am. After a quick coffee at Neil's place we headed off to his Little Owl hide. Neil has dedicated an awful lot of time with these owls and has now built a new hide which can easily accommodate 3 photographers, this hide even boasts padded seats, so real luxury.
The Owls appeared very quickly and we attempted to get some landing/flight shots, this proved extremely difficult for me but still great fun. After a few hours we left the Owls and went for breakfast. Next we headed the short trip to Oxfordshire where we spent a few more hours trying to photograph Red Kites in flight. Once again quite tricky due to the speed these birds can move as they dive but once again great fun and some good results at the end.
The afternoon saw us heading back to the little Owl hide where we continued in our quest to get some more flight/landing shots. The light was quite changeable but the birds played their part well landing on the perches. We carried on until about 8.45pm when we decided to call it a day and make the 4 hour journey home.
Many thanks to Neil and anyone reading this would be well advised to visit his website to make a booking http://www.neilnevillephotography.com/little-owl-hide

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Rebates and Contracts and other Cellphone topics.
If you've chosen to accept a rebate offer, here is some advice on how to track your rebate:
* Read the fine print: Make sure you completely understand what's required to get the rebate before you buy your phone. You usually have to show proof of purchase, but some companies also set deadlines for rebate submissions.
* Try to find rebates that are automatic once the cashier rngs up the purchase, or rebates that require you fill out the form at the cashier to get the deal in your initial purchase.
* Make copies of everything, including your receipts and proof of purchase. Do not send the originals in with the rebate request.
* Get a receipt for mailing your request with the date on it. You can use certified mail, priority mail, return receipt requested mail, or a private delivery company (UPS, Fed Ex, etc.).

PLEASANTON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ManageEngine, the real-time IT management company, today announced that it has added Office 365 monitoring capabilities to O365 Manager Plus, one of the components of its SIEM solution, Log360. Available immediately, the latest version of the component offers health and performance monitoring for many Office 365 services, including Exchange Online, Azure Active Directory, Skype for Business and OneDrive for Business.

Although cloud workspaces have many advantages, no cloud provider is immune to service outages — even Office 365. Office 365 service outages can temporarily disrupt business processes, including scheduled calls with customers and online meetings, or bring them to a halt entirely. While Microsoft does provide notices about Office 365 service outages, these notices are only available in the service dashboard, forcing administrators to constantly keep an eye on that dashboard and adding to their already demanding workload. What administrators need is a way to monitor the health and performance of all their Office 365 services, regardless of where they are.
"Since Office 365 services are the linchpin of many business processes, any service outage has the potential to affect an organization's productivity and reputation," said Parthiban Paramasivam, product manager at ManageEngine. "By adding real-time Office 365 monitoring to our SIEM solution, we're helping enterprises overcome any lag in detecting and responding to service outages. In other words, administrators will have more time to implement a backup plan before a service outage impacts business processes."
Updates on Office 365 – Anytime, Anywhere
Office 365 monitoring capability allows administrators to:
- Monitor the health and performance of Exchange Online, Azure Active Directory, Skype for Business, OneDrive for Business and 10 other Office 365 services — all from one central location.
- Monitor the health and performance of endpoints to keep track of their availability.
- Get real-time email alerts on service outages.
- Access a complete monitoring record, including data older than 30 days.
- View a graph illustrating the health status of services and endpoints for quick understanding.

A handful of reliable sources have told IGNPSX that Diablo II is in the planning stages for PlayStation. The first Diablo, which arrived on PC first, was then ported to the PlayStation and Macintosh afterward.
Blizzard, however, claims it has not yet decided on which platform the game will port to, said a representative. "We have not signed a deal with anyone, and we have made no decisions as to which platform it'll appear on," the rep said. "I mean, look at Starcraft. That went to Nintendo 64."
Nonetheless, Blizzard's own web site claims that "We are always examining our options to bring our titles to multiple platforms," and the PlayStation is still the most viable platform after the PC for a straight port. Blizzard's Warcraft II also ported to PlayStation, Saturn, and the Mac.
Diablo II, currently in development for the PC, will feature a number of new aspects and additions that should make the game an true sequel. Diablo II's engine is being completely rebuilt, so it'll move and feel much faster, not to mention look a hell of a lot better. With the new engine reconstruction comes a mix up of the character classes. Diablo I featured a Rogue, Warrior, and Sorcerer, but the new title spotlights five classes, including the Amazon Warrior, Sorceress, Barbarian, with the Necromancer and Paladin being the newest in the group.
The PC game is currently about 50% done. IGNPSX will keep you updated on Blizzard's developments with Diablo II.

Many fans have been anticipating the reboot of the '90s sitcom Coach, complete with its original star Craig T. Nelson. Unfortunately, fans are going to have to wait a little longer, indefinitely maybe, because NBC has pulled the plug on the project.
The new show centered on Nelson's character, Coach Hayden Fox, coming out of retirement to take on the role of assistant coach to his son (played by Andrew Ridings), who's been hired to lead a startup football team at a prestigious Ivy League school.
The network already filmed the pilot and had even slated 13 episodes, but ultimately cancelled it because production reportedly wasn't going as well as planned, according to The Hollywood Reporter. And because the producers weren't feeling optimistic that the series would fare well, they decided it was better to can it now.
Although nothing more than the pilot episode had been shot, Deadline is reporting that Nelson, now 71, will still get a full paycheck for all 13 episodes. Meanwhile, the rest of the cast will only be compensated financially for the one episode that was filmed.
Although the Coach reboot was tanked, a few other revivals and spin-offs are still in the works, including Dallas on TNT, The X-Files for FOX, Fuller House (a spin-off of Full House) on Netflix, and Twin Peaks on Showtime.
McGrath, R., "Re-booted out of here! Coach follow-up cancelled by NBC but star Craig T. Nelson 'will be paid for 13 episodes anyway,'" Daily Mail web site, September 1, 2015.

Founder of Domino's Pizza wins temporary court order to avoid mandated contraceptive coverage as part of the Affordable Care Act.
- Founder of Domino's Pizza wins temporary restraining order against birth control policy
- Tom Monaghan said covering contraceptives was contrary to the tenets of his Catholic faith
- Domino's Farms faced about $200,000 in annual penalties for failing to provide insurance
DETROIT — The founder of Domino's Pizza won a court order that temporarily allows him to avoid Affordable Care Act-mandated contra…for employees at his Ann Arbor, Mich., Domino's Farms property management company.
A federal court judge granted a temporary restraining order Sunday, citing a First Amendment right to freedom of religion, until a final decision is made.
Tom Monaghan sold Domino's Pizza in 1998. He was also the owner of the Detroit Tigers from 1983-92.
A devout Catholic who also founded Ave Maria University in southwest Florida, Monaghan argued in a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan on Dec. 14 that being forced to cover his Domino's Farms staffers' contraceptives, such as the Plan B and other morning-after pills, ran contrary to the tenets of his faith. "Gravely immoral practices" is how contraceptives are described in the original lawsuit.
"I'm elated," said his attorney, Erin Mersino. "This is really what (my client) sought at this point. We're happy that as of tomorrow, religious freedom won't be violated."
U.S. District Judge Lawrence Zatkoff wrote in his opinion that he was issuing the temporary restraining order because the case wouldn't be resolved before Tuesday, when the Domino's Farms health care plan year begins.
Insurance companies began to be subjected to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services mandate Aug. 1.
"Abiding by the mandate will substantially burden his exercise of religion," Zatkoff said. "Because plaintiffs' claims involve a First Amendment right, and because the court has found some likelihood that plaintiffs' … claim will succeed on the merits, the court finds that irreparable harm could result to plaintiff."
The government says the contraception mandate benefits women's health and removes financial barriers. There are about a dozen similar lawsuits pending nationwide.
In a related issue, a Texas judge Monday ruled that state can cut off funding to Planned Parenthood's family planning programs for poor women. Judge Gary Harger said that Texas may exclude otherwise qualified doctors and clinics from receiving state funding if they advocate for abortion rights.
Monaghan filed for a temporary restraining order Dec. 21.
If Domino's Farms, which has 45 full-time and 44 part-time employees, failed to provide health insurance in an attempt to dodge the contraceptives requirement, it would face about $200,000 in annual penalties, according to court documents.

When one politician comes up with a snappy line, the expectation is that others will borrow it and make it their own at some point.
To wit: "Make America Great Again" – Donald Trump's campaign slogan, which is just half a tick off the "Let's Make America Great Again" one that adorned Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush's buttons and posters in 1980.
Or Trump's appropriation of Richard M. Nixon's "silent majority." Or "America First," which echoes at least back to the isolationist movement that preceded World War II.
All of that is well within what are generally regarded as the norms, and even a tribute to the predecessors upon whom political movements are built.
So why the furor over Melania Trump's lifting of big chunks of Michelle Obama's 2008 convention speech?
The answer can be found in the controversy that ended now-Vice President Joe Biden's 1988 campaign for the White House. Biden found out that making politics personal changes the ground rules.
Then a Delware senator and rising star in his party, Biden had included a starkly personal passage in his stump speech, one that made his biography a testament to the American dream.
"Why is it that Joe Biden is the first in his family ever to go to a university? Why is it that my wife who is sitting out there in the audience is the first in her family to ever go to college?" he would say. "Is it because our fathers and mothers were not bright? Is it because I'm the first Biden in a thousand generations to get a college and a graduate degree that I was smarter than the rest?"
Except it turned out that his story had been someone else's first.
Neil Kinnock, the leader of Britain's Labour Party, was known for an identical riff.
"Why am I the first Kinnock in a thousand generations to be able to get to university? Why is [his wife] Glenys the first woman in her family in a thousand generations to be able to get to university? Was it because all our predecessors were thick?" Kinnock had said during a speech delivered at a party conference in 1987.
In early days, Biden had credited Kinnock. But there were also times when he had not.
Even in those pre-Google days, Biden's copycat delivery was found out by the opposition operation of his rival, Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis, and handed over to the media.
It led to more investigation that revealed he had plagiarized a paper in law school. All of which spoke to what was deemed to be a disqualifying character flaw.
Melania Trump's infraction – which may have been committed by whoever wrote her speech – goes to some of the same issues.
When a political figure is giving a testament to his or her own biography and character and values, there is far little leeway.
On the other hand, when two politicians are of the same political stripe, an echo can also be viewed as a tribute.
President Barack Obama raised eyebrows in his 2008 presidential campaign, for instance, when he used almost the exact language and Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick had in his 2006 race.
"Don't tell me words don't matter! 'I have a dream.' Just words. 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.' Just words. 'We have nothing to fear but fear itself.' Just words, just speeches," Obama had said.
Patrick's version two years earlier: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.' Just words. Just words. 'We have nothing to fear but fear itself.' Just words. 'Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.' Just words. 'I have a dream.' Just words."
Obama later said he regretted not naming his muse, but Deval gave him a pass.
In his 2012 reelection campaign, Obama did it again with another eloquent Massachusetts politician.
"If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive," he said. "Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you've got a business. you didn't build that."
It turns out that was the same rhetorical frame that Elizabeth Warren had used to great effect in her campaign to become senator from Massachusetts.
"You built a factory out there? Good for you. But I want to be clear: You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for; you hired workers the rest of us paid to educate; you were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for," Warren had said.
Warren herself had borrowed the larger concept from George Lakoff, a University of California at Berkeley professor and liberal activist who had said, "Nobody makes a dollar in this country in business without using the common wealth."
So originality is not a requisite in politics – as long as the point that is being made is a philosophical one, and not a personal testament.
In that case, as Patrick might say, they are "just words."

Flooding wells should be considered contaminated and disinfected before homeowners resume using them.
Those most at risk would include water sources that are in areas where flooding has occurred and is imminent, such as drilled wells located in well pits where groundwater tables have risen in the pit above the top of the well head, and shallow wells or springs located down gradient from open pollution sources such as agricultural or animal waste run-off or nearby septic systems. Other indicators of pollution may include water discoloration or unusual taste or odor to your private water supply.

Peas! Yes - it has been over a week since I have blogged and I even have 5 month pics to share but the hours march on and I wish I didn't need sleep like the Cullens. Alas...
My sweet pea loves peas! Like the other veggies before, green beans, squash, carrots, now peas are on her list of foods she loves!
TNT is very fun to feed - she is a great eater to no one's surprise. She gets really excited and actually lunges at the food. See below.
|TNT lunging at the peas. Actually leaning forward to get the peas. Look at how she is chomping her mouth. :)

As part of his National Cancer Moonshot, Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday announced several new data sharing initiatives to double the rate of progress in the fight against cancer.
Biden, whose son Beau died of cancer last year, made the announcements during a Cancer Moonshot Summit held June 28 at Howard University in Washington.
The Cancer Moonshot is aimed at making more therapies available to more patients, while also improving the nation's ability to prevent cancer and detect it in an early stage. With more than 1.6 million Americans diagnosed with cancer each year, the goal of the initiative is to make a decade's worth of progress in five years by unleashing the power of big data.
"We have to create better systems to share data and to empower patients to share and use their data the way they want to," said Biden. "In other sectors like physics and aerospace, scientists share complex information seamlessly and ubiquitously, all the time. But somehow, I guess from a hundred years of tradition, not in medicine."
To address the problem, the Vice President announced a set of new public and private sector actions in support of the Cancer Moonshot:
- The National Cancer Institute, in partnership with the White House Presidential Innovation Fellows, will redesign how patients and oncologists learn about and find information about cancer clinical trials. The first phase will make cancer clinical data hosted on cancer.gov available through an application programming interface (API) for advocacy groups, academia and others in the cancer ecosystem. The API will enable third-party innovators, including Smart Patients, Syapse, Cure Forward, and Trial Reach, to use the new cancer clinical trial API to build apps, integrations, search tools and digital platforms tailored to individual communities that bring clinical trial information to more providers, patients and their family members.
- The Department of Energy, in partnership with NCI, is launching three new pilot projects focused on bringing together nearly 100 cancer researchers, care providers, computer scientists and engineers to apply the nation's most advanced supercomputing capabilities to analyze data from preclinical models in cancer, molecular interaction data for RAS and cancer surveillance data across four DOE National Laboratories: Argonne, Los Alamos, Lawrence Livermore, and Oak Ridge, in conjunction with the NCI Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research.
- Foundation Medicine is more than doubling the total number of patients represented within NCI's Genomic Data Commons (GDC), bringing its total to more than 32,000 patients accumulated in just over a month. At its launch in early June, the GDC already shared more than five petabytes of raw unprocessed genomic data from large research projects on nearly 30 tumor types from more than 14,000 patients, along with associated clinical data (such as clinical diagnosis, treatment history and survival data), creating a foundational system for broad sharing and analysis of cancer genomic data.
- The Department of Veterans Affairs and DOE are collaborating to apply the most powerful computational assets at the DOE's National Labs to nearly half a million veterans' records from one of the world's largest research cohorts—the Million Veteran Program, part of the President's Precision Medicine Initiative. This is a five-year renewable commitment with $3.5 million allocated in Fiscal Year 2016. The first phase of this partnership will focus on cancer, cardiovascular disease and mental health issues. The resulting platform will accelerate the understanding of disease detection, progression, prevention and treatment by combining clinical, environmental and genomic data.
- DOE, NCI and GlaxoSmithKline have formed a new public-private partnership designed to harness high-performance computing and diverse biological data to accelerate the drug discovery process and bring new cancer therapies from target to first in human trials in less than a year. The partnership will bring together scientists from multiple disciplines to advance the understanding of cancer by finding patterns in vast and complex datasets to accelerate the development of new cancer therapies.
- Intermountain Healthcare, Stanford Cancer Institute, Providence Health & Services, Catholic Health Initiative, Henry Ford Health System and Syapse have joined together to launch OPeN, the Oncology Precision Network. OPeN will advance cancer care through sharing of cancer genomics data, rapidly bringing the most promising treatment insights to cancer patients and physicians with the potential of increasing access to clinical trials. With its current membership, OPeN comprises data and physicians across 11 states, 79 hospitals and 800 clinics, and will impact 50,000 new cancer cases per year. OPeN pledges to expand its impact across the United States by onboarding at least five new healthcare systems in the next 12 months, focusing on community healthcare systems outside of the currently-served states in order to bring the best quality cancer care to patients in other geographic regions.
- IBM and the VA are launching a public-private partnership to help doctors scale access to precision medicine for 10,000 American veterans with cancer over the next two years. IBM will provide Watson for Genomics, which has been trained for genomic analysis, to scientists and pathologists that have sequenced DNA for VA cancer patients to help them identify the likely cancer-causing mutations and treatment options that target those specific mutations—a data-intensive process that has been time consuming and difficult to scale in the past.
- PatientCrossroads and DNAnexus have partnered on the Integrated Data Engagement Analytics (IDEA) platform to facilitate patient consented sharing of genetic, proteomic and electronic health records/phenotypic data to accelerate disease research. This pioneering program leverages the rights of patients to request their raw genetic testing files, proteomic data, and EHRs and to share this rich data in the IDEA platform for deep analysis.

Fear of opiate withdrawal makes many who suffer from opiate abuse and addiction, whether it be heroin dependence or an addiction to painkillers, afraid to get clean.
I'll be honest – to me, this just sounds like another justification for someone to continue using. In order to get clean, I believe you have to be willing to go to any length to get and stay clean… and yes, sometimes this includes a painful withdrawal.
That being said, I do acknowledge that going through withdrawal can be extremely uncomfortable, scary, and painful. In the past, people had to quit "cold turkey" without the help of any other kind of drug.
More recently, there are drugs that are used to help people with opiate withdrawal. The most popular drugs used for this purpose are methadone and suboxone.
Methadone is a synthetic opioid that is used to wean an addict off of heroin or other opiate based narcotics. Methadone, because it is basically an opiate, is also used in some cases to manage chronic pain. Methadone is given to opiate addicts mainly to help lessen the severity of the opiate withdrawal symptoms.
Suboxone is very similar to Methadone, as it is also used to wean opioid addicts off of heroin or other opiate based narcotics. The biggest difference between the two is that Suboxone is only a partial opiod, whereas methadone is a full opiod. This means Suboxone has less potential for abuse because it is not as likely to produce feelings of euphoria.
Many people see drugs like Methadone and Suboxone as some kind of magical cure for addiction. This is not even close to being true. Yes, both of these drugs will help lessen the severity of withdrawal from opiates and they may stop a person from using other opiates, but there are many negative consequences that can come from these drugs.
The only way these drugs are effective is if they are taken as prescribed, and if they are taken in conjunction with some kind of recovery program. Otherwise, it seems that one addiction is simply being replaced with another addiction.
The idea is to take Methadone or Suboxone for a very limited period of time, slowly lowering the dose until you are not taking any kind of drug. As I said, opiate withdrawal can be painful and scare people away from attempting to get clean, so just knowing that these medications are available may help a lot of people decide to enter treatment. Therefore, I think that in an inpatient rehab setting, these drugs can be wonderful.
The most important factor is that these drugs need to be given at an appropriate dose, and there needs to be knowledgeable medical staff readily available.
If someone is taking one of these drugs without the care of a professional, they can be abused very easily.
A lot of people go on one of these drugs expecting it to cure all of their problems – and for a time, it might actually seem like it does. The problem is that people stay on these drugs for much longer than they should. The idea is to be on these drugs for no longer than a month or two, but without the proper supervision this often does not happen. Some people will argue that there's nothing wrong with staying on these medications for an extended period of time, or even for their entire lives. I strongly disagree with this and believe that they should be used as a short term solution.
Again, I do believe that drugs such as Suboxone and Methadone can be very helpful, but there are definitely risks involved.
(1) - Both of these drugs are very addictive, and can cause overdose if too much is taken.
(2) - The withdrawal symptoms from these drugs can be worse than actual opiate withdrawal from heroin or other narcotics.
If you can get clean without the aid of other drugs, that is the best way to go. When something like Suboxone or Methadone is needed, take these drugs with extreme caution and under the proper supervision.
I have done a lot of research and read a lot of personal experiences of people who have used both Methadone and Suboxone. The general consensus seems to be that Suboxone has less of an abuse potential, and the withdrawal from suboxone is significantly less severe than the withdrawal from Methadone.
That being said, always consult a professional and make sure you are taking these drugs as prescribed. Make sure you also try to incorporate other types of recovery into your plan, such as rehab, intensive outpatient, therapy, 12 step meetings, or anything else you might incorporate into your recovery.
Different drugs work for different people, but there is always a way to get clean. As long as you are willing to do whatever it takes and are willing to follow directions and put in some hard work, long term sobriety is possible.
What is your opinion on drugs like Suboxone and Methadone? Please share your experiences and your opinions with us!

Not only is this the directorial debut of Goro Miyazaki, the son of iconic director Hayao Miyazaki, and produced by Studio Ghibli, the animation studio he founded, it is also based on the Earthsea cycle of books by iconic sci-fi writer Ursula LeGuin. Goro co-wrote the script for the movie and is responsible for the visual style of the movie as ... read more

Description: Something bizarre has come over the land. The kingdom is deteriorating. People are beginning to act strange... What's even more strange is that people are beginning to see dragons, which shouldn't enter the world of humans. Due to all these bizarre events, Ged, a wandering wizard, is investigating the cause. During his journey, he meets Prince Arren, a young distraught teenage boy. While Arren may look like a shy young teen, he has a severe dark side, which grants him strength, hatred, ruthlessness and has no mercy, especially when it comes to protecting Teru. For the witch Kumo this is a perfect opportunity. She can use the boy ... (more)

Starting your college career can be both exciting and scary. As excited as you may be, you may also feel scared. You do not have to be scared. If you learn all you can about college, then you can alleviate many of the worries that you may have before you begin. This article will help you to prepare.
Take some time to study daily. The more you put in, the more you'll get out. By getting the mindset of treating your education like a job, you can find a chance to be social while keeping a strong focus on academics. If you do well in college, you can have a better career and earn more money.
Your seating arrangements can affect success in your classes. Don't sit at the back! Try to sit near the front. You will feel more like a part of the class, and you will have an easier time asking questions.
You should always schedule a visit to admissions when you are trying to find a college. This way you can explore whether the school sponsors scholarships you may qualify for. Different schools offer different scholarships. A good conversation with an admissions clerk can tell you all the financial assistance opportunities you need.
Don't forget to exercise in college. Consider joining a gym. In addition to getting your daily workout, you can meet many active fellow students. Then your exercise time also becomes a social time too.
Pay your whole balance due every month for each of your credit cards. You will never get any penalties or late charges this way. A credit card is best saved for emergencies only. Monitor your spending and keep in mind that your main goal is to get an education. Having problems with money can distract you from your studies.
Choose classes that peak your interest instead of going with the easy ones. Stretching yourself has its rewards. You are sure to gain more knowledge from tough courses, and you might make connections that will benefit you later on.
One tip if you're having some financial trouble is to purchase used textbooks before going to college. Textbooks are very expensive and can cost you a fortune if you're buying them brand new. You can get used books and save a lot of money.
Note Taking
Take notes while in class. Note taking helps you remember information later on. You will be more likely to recall the information come study time. Even though you may know this information, note taking is a great habit to get into.
The earlier you register for your college classes, the better. If you postpone, you may not get the classes you had in mind. This could extend your college career. Once you've zeroed in on the course of your choice, don't delay in claiming your spot!
If you're looking for a job to help you get through school, visit the career office at your college. They can help you get a job both during your college career and after graduation. Often, they work in conjunction with the surrounding community and are the first to know about available job openings.
Enroll in a broad array of elective courses. This is a great way to find out what really sparks your interest. Your first year in school needs to be a year where you step out of the box and participate in things that you didn't think about when you were back in high school.
Do not submit the first paper that you have written. Allow yourself time to make revisions. Writing second drafts of your papers is a great way to improve quality. After you complete the second draft, edit that one. This allows you to turn in your paper with confidence.
Don't bring a lot of stuff with you if you are going to live in a dorm. Dorm rooms are small and any extra room will make your living space more comfortable. When shopping for items for your room, make a good list and follow it closely. Search for options that can help save you space.
If you have an internship, make sure you do as good as possible in this position, even if it has no relation to your major. Experience is a huge asset on your resume. If you do well in your work/study job, you will be able to start out your resume with an impressive entry.
When you are dating in college, plan to be creative. Try new things like having a candle-lit dinner instead of splurging at a restaurant. Your date will be pleased by your creativity, and it will cost less, too. Get rid of the roommates for the night. If they agree to make themselves scarce during your date, you will do the same for them.
Think carefully about the schedule that your mind and body prefers, and then do your best to set your school schedule to your own natural rhythms. For instance, do not pick early classes if you hate mornings. Look for a schedule which works with your own internal clock instead.
Eat your meals when you're on campus as often as you can if you want to save a little money. Eating all the time at restaurants or fast food places can really start to cost you financially and physically. Even though the food won't be delicious, look into student meal plans. Take the cash you might have spent buying fast food and buy lots of healthy items at the grocery instead.
When exams will be given, avoid excess fun and partying during the previous night. If you do, you'll find yourself too tired to think the next day. Your preparation has everything to do with the grades you receive.
Hopefully, now that you are done with the article, the fear has subsided a bit. As you can see, anyone can successfully graduate with the right tools and the right planning. You can use these tips to do your best in college. Best of luck to you!

Solar Symphony recently completed another high quality home solar system at the Kim residence in San Diego, California. This is a 4.505 kW solar array with Q-Cell 265 Watts solar panels. Q-Cell 265 Watts solar panels are some of the most bankable and highest quality solar panels available. You could be saving money by powering your life with high quality Q-Cell 265 Watts solar panels as well. High quality, when it comes to solar matters more than in most other disciplines. This is because solar panels when installed correctly last 30 years or even more. Every year that a solar system continues to function is literally worth thousands of dollars of additional electricity! It pays to get it done right.

Not so much
At Plaencia it was going to cost nearly $700 to fix Jax's teeth. And let me be clear … it is extensive work that needs to done. I'm sure that is a fair price for the amount of work it entails. I simply can not afford that kind of money upfront and I can not afford to let poor little Jax to go on like he is. I've had a tooth ache and I can only imagine the pain this poor fella is going through. So, I did my research, phone calls and asking lots and lots of questions. Finally found that the local Humane Society here in St. Augustine helps with situations such as ours. So, last Thursday, we took little Jax into be looked at by their Vet. They were SUPER with Jax! Vet Rocky asked if I knew how old Jax was. I answered, three. She said, no. I was taken aback and hung on her every word when she explained that with his extensive dental problems she aged him to be at least 5 or 6. I wanted to cry! Not that him being older makes me love him any less, not the case at all. In fact, I seriously thought, the smaller the dog the shorter life span they had. It broke my heart to think I wouldn't have him for as long as I had originally thought I would. It took my sister reassuring me that it was not so much the case at all, but rather the opposite. Larger the dog, shorter the life span. She looked up that, if taken care of properly, they can live up to 16 years. That gave my heart relief! So for just shy of half t.he price as Plaencia, they are going to fix the poor little guys teeth and I'm going to have him neutered at the same time. No more humping of the pit bull that lives in the house with him.
Speaking of Elliott., he is part pit yes. However, I'm a firm believer the other parts of him are goat, gofer and Kirby vacuum. He has practically got this place cleared of saplings, sticks and leaves. He has recently moved onto clearing the creek out back of soggy sticks. If you've lost something in the yard, give him some time, he'll show up with it in a few days. Bottles, metal lids, wire, rope. I believe he's found a Pyrex measuring cup and a bowl out there. Currently, it's shells and walnuts that fascinate his chewing fancy. I will get pictures and video of all this happening at some point. But, I can not wait to show everyone how this dog will try to literally climb a tree to get to more leaves. InSaNe with crazy madness!! He has grown and filled out so much since I've been here. He is nothing but a big walking ball of muscle. However, he's ever so gentle with me while Kristen is at work. He knows I can't be pulled around very hard. Well, I can actually be pulled around by him like a damn rag doll. I'd much rather not and that's the part he understands … He is very gentle with me. Thank goodness. Because when I look at him, all I can see sometimes is my Nero.

Groups rise to defense of health reform law's prevention fund
April 4, 2011
by Julian Pecquet
The Hill
Fifty-six health organizations are asking President Obama to reject attempts to eliminate or pare down the healthcare reform law's investment in preventive health.
Democrats' law created the $15 billion Prevention and Public Health Fund "to provide for expanded and sustained national investment in prevention and public health programs." Some congressional Republicans have called the provision a "slush fund" and have proposed eliminating the fund or turning it into an annual appropriation whose funding would be in the hands of lawmakers.

Location-Based Mobile Ordering: The Natural Evolution of Customer Service
Customer service businesses must engage their customers where the money is: on their mobile device, writes RoamingAround's Michael Arner.
With 6 billion people worldwide said to own a mobile phone, rare is the occasion that anyone heads out to the casino, hotel pool, sporting event, or an evening of dining and drinks, without their preferred mobile device in hand.
The growing reliance on mobile wallets — and the unwavering trust that there is always "an app for that" — means that customer service businesses must engage their customers where the money is: on their mobile device.
The prodigious success of mobile ordering apps like Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts, and Dominos has proven the value, demand, and ROI that comes with the convenience of location-based mobile ordering. These big brands allocated hundreds of millions of dollars to integrating location-based intelligence, working out the bugs, and pushing clever marketing to consumers who were once skeptical about the technology — but now are hungry for more. Starbucks generates about 20 percent of its revenue through their app; now, smaller businesses can offer similar technology without the prohibitive costs.
Technology service businesses can now leverage GPS, Wi-Fi, and BLE Beacons to accurately locate and deliver orders to customers at a table inside a restaurant, around a pool, or at a seat in an arena or a table in a casino. The orders can be routed to a tablet or a wearable device so the wait staff can deliver the order to the real-time location of the customer.
How It Works
Location-based mobile ordering can be added to any service business by working with a location-based service provider. Companies can work with developers to install a Software Development Kit (SDK) into their existing mobile applications. Integration into several popular POS systems is also available. Arenas, casinos, hotels, restaurants, bars and retailers of all sizes can add location-based services to engage their audience, increase their revenue and streamline their service.
In most cases, the location-based ordering app and infrastructure can be given to participating merchants with no capital expenditure. The business owner and app provider enter a revenue share agreement on the orders taken through the app. The patron is treated to a frictionless VIP ordering experience.
Line anxiety, FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), and the losing battle for a bartender's attention are just a few of the reasons customers of all ages are compelled to move to mobile ordering. In the nascent days of geolocation, businesses had quite a few barriers to overcome — not to mention, worrying whether customers would even turn "location services" ON. Cash was king and the established way of ordering and serving was good enough.
Now, improved technology allows seamless integration with a POS server and advanced locationing techniques utilizing WiFi, GPS and Bluetooth beacons to pinpoint the exact location of the customer.
Use Cases
Use Case #1: Increasing Casino Food and Beverage Revenue: Many casinos who currently provide free drinks can increase revenue and improve service by giving casino players the opportunity to order premium beverages, food, or other services directly to their table. Those charging for drinks can up sell players by offering food, snacks, and services like neck massages without distracting customers from the gaming experience.
Use Case #2: Making poolside ordering a breeze: Imagine yourself relaxing at the hotel pool. You might be reluctant to leave the kids unattended, to enter the bar in your swimsuit, or to commit to staying in one place until your drink order arrives… but darn it, you're on vacation and you do want that margarita! You may have left your wallet in the room, but you're never without your phone. Bars and eateries that set up poolside mobile ordering can come out ahead with these consumers.
Use Case #3: Delivering Orders Inside a Stadium: Have you ever been at a sporting event and experienced the roar of the crowd… from a concession line? Spectators who don't want to miss a minute of the action waiting in lines while searching for food and drinks can simply take out their phone, place an order, and have it delivered right to their seat. Fans get to feel like MVP's even in the nosebleeds. And so it goes with sports, the numbers always speak for themselves: 1 extra $9 beer X 3,500 seats = $31K per event.

A bit of an odd gig tonight. We had a nicely varied setlist from Half Man Half Biscuit, but it didn't feel quite right.
The intra-song banter wasn't quite as good as usual, they didn't play a cover version beyond a few bars of Control and Transmission by Joy Division, and a few of the more common songs such as Fred Titmus were missing. However the sound was good, particularly the vocals which makes a nice change, we got an impromptu version of a very old song called Smash the Cistern, and ending on Trumpton Riots made for a good finale.
Maybe I'm just being picky, this was the 13th time I've seen them, and you've got to expect some gigs to be better or worse than others.
