I have reinstalled Vista on my primary computer some time ago. I was still missing one device installed – Mustek BearPaw 2400TA Plus – because there are no official drivers for Windows Vista. I'm running a 32-bit Enterprise flavour of Vista, so previously I had the Windows 2000/XP drivers installed with some registry hack and it quite worked. However, when I tried to find that information now, I couldn't find it anywhere.
Finally, after more than hour of googling, I found a way to do it. I'll just make a note here for myself or anyone else who would like to do the same trick and find that information faster.
Here we go:
- Download 2000 / XP drivers for your scanner
- Change HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\ProductName registry key to say "Microsoft Windows 2000"
- Reboot Vista and start it in Safe Mode
- Install the drivers, they should now install fine
- Reboot Vista, start normally. After logging in, it will ask you if you want to use an unsigned driver – agree
That's it – everything should be working more or less normally. I just tried that and it works for me – this trick should work for all XP / 2000 drivers.

Disneynature's latest documentary, Monkey Kingdom, follows a female macaque monkey and her infant son as they struggle to survive in the jungles of South Asia.
Co-directed by Mark Linfield and Alastair Fothergill, Monkey Kingdom brings viewers up close and personal into the lives of a troop of macaque monkeys. Filmed over the course of three years in Sri Lanka, much of the action takes place in the ruins of an ancient civilization in the northeastern part of the island.
The tone of the film is lighthearted and fun thanks in large part to the witty narration by Tina Fey. She is an ideal person to narrate the story, which shows how an enterprising female macaque monkey named Maya overcomes all odds to rise in the ranks of the competitive social hierarchy of the Temple Troop to which she belongs.
When the film opens we learn that Maya is at the bottom of the social ladder with no hope of ever changing her position, but all of that changes after the birth of her son, Kip.
The scenes of Maya caring for Kip will resonate strongly with mothers. There is something about the way animals are so protective of their young that helps remind us what is really important in life. Maya's number one priority is to make sure she gets enough food to make milk for Kip. As long as he is fed and warm then she is being a good mother. If only it were so easy in the human world!
Monkey Kingdom is the sixth theatrical release for Disneynature, which always times the openings around Earth Day. Ultimately these movies are trying to make a connection with audiences and encourage financial support for the animals who share this planet with us.
Toward that end, for each ticket sold opening week, Disneynature stated in press notes for the movie that it will make a donation to Conservation International, which combines "science, partnership and field demonstration to empower societies to responsibly and sustainably care for nature and global biodiversity for the well-being of people."
Additional promotional tie-ins planned for the movie's release that will also benefit Conservation International are as follows:
Designer Alex Woo created a film-inspired "Love Monkey" pendant for which a portion of each purchase benefits Conservation International. www.alexwoo.com
Disney Store, home to Maya and Kip plush, will contribute to Conservation International for each film-inspired plush sold between March 13-May 14.
Disney Store will also give a free reusable "Monkey Kingdom" shopping bag with any purchase made on Earth Day (April 22).
Disney Music Group will contribute to Conservation International with the sale of each single downloaded of Jacqui Lee's "It's Our World" between April 14-May 12.

Thomas Willshaw's book is entitled "Methodism in my native Village"; it was published following the century of the Wesleyan chapel, and runs to 151 pages. It outlines the beginning and history of the society in Cheddleton, Staffs, evoking much of the congregation's ethos by means of the Short biographical sketches extending over a century which give rise to its subtitle. There is a long extract from its closing chapter on the website https://primitivemethodism.com which is not only about Primitive Methodism, but about primitive (or old-time) Methodism, as in John Wesley's exhortation to his preachers in 1790.

MKTG Insights: WHAT SPONSORS CAN LEARN FROM MODERN ALBUM RELEASES
With the overly saturated music industry experiencing ever-changing shifts in music consumption, artists must find unique ways to gain traction within the market in order to create successful campaigns. Technological innovations such as digital streaming provided by service giants such as Spotify and Apple Music are truly shaping the industry. There is now a greater accessibility to music than ever before and artists can easily get lost in the clutter. The days where studios and labels put mass advertising behind the release of an album are gone. This has caused musicians to increasingly think like brands; relying on creativity and innovation to drive interest in their upcoming sales. Sponsors and marketers also live in a similar dynamic realm where there are constant technological changes and never ending clutter of branded content. The following are leading examples from the music industry that provide key learnings for marketers in today's world.
In June 2017, in advance of the release of her "Witness" album, Katy Perry partnered with YouTube to launch a 96-hour live stream of her living day-to-day in a camera filled "Big Brother" style home. The live stream allowed fans to observe Perry in a range of content from average daily activities to more intense moments such as therapy sessions. The broadcast was supported with celebrity guest appearances who interacted with Katy for interviews, cooking, games, challenges, and conversations. The live stream led to a concert where Katy performed songs from the upcoming album. The Katy Perry Witness World Wide Live Stream reached 190 countries and garnered 49 million views.
Katy Perry provided fans with an opportunity to receive unprecedented access to celebrity. The raw, constant transparency that a live stream provides allows consumers to feel an authentic connection by being able to tune into an "unscripted" experience.
For sponsorship marketers, Perry's stunt is a reminder of key operating principles when developing strategy and planning brand experiences. Perry understood the power of designing a brand experience that would organically drive social chatter. Rather than rely on media appearances on TV and radio to plug the album release like most artists, Perry's live stream was designed for the digital age. By choosing the correct platform, in this case, YouTube, users were able to connect at any time (mobile, desktop etc.) for real-time interactions. The tactic of live streaming her activity scaled access to Perry in a way that transcended geographic borders and time constraints; sponsors planning physical branded experiences must also find ways to bring the consumer experience to those unable to engage in the precise time and place of the activation.
Notable hip-hop stars 2 Chainz and Kendrick Lamar are examples of artists who have utilized powerful physical, in-person brand experiences that coincide with particular promotional announcements. 2 Chainz released his fourth studio album titled "Pretty Girls like Trap Music" in June 2017 which was supported by a unique physical activation. Inspired by the emerging genre of Southern "trap music" that has been taking control of mainstream airways, 2 Chainz leverages "trap" roots by replicating a real life "trap house" in the outskirts of Atlanta, Georgia. The album themed, pink home is decked out with urban artwork and was redesigned to coincide with 2 Chainz branding and larger promotional campaign that matches 2 Chainz album art.
The activation's main purpose was to be used as a space for listening parties. Supplementary, outside of the home, was a strategically place vintage pink Corvette and stove where visitors were encouraged to take photos and share their "trap experience" on social media. The activation was an enormous tourist and fan attraction, covered by major media outlets that accumulated over 300,000 digital tags.
Similarly, Kendrick Lamar kicked off "THE DAMN. TOUR" by launching retail pop-up shops in select cities that coincide with his tour dates. The pop-up shops sell limited-edition Kendrick branded clothing and accessories. Activations amplify traditional marketing efforts by providing a memorable and engaging consumer experience. Consumers are able to interact on a ground-level and share digitally. This activation style allows for ultimate consumer engagement that is enhanced with wide-spread media coverage.
High-touch activations act as a unique tactic to engage consumers by utilizing multiple touchpoints. These activations allow artists to push branded content online while also providing fans with a real and tangible interaction. Aside from relying solely on social media, high-touch activation experiences allow brands stand out amongst the clutter.
One of the most talked about releases in 2016 was Beyoncé's sixth studio album, Lemonade. The surprise release was supported by a massive amount of content: a one hour HBO film, an eleven chapter visual album, and the launch of the Formation World Tour. Beyoncé leveraged a combination of art, music, poetry, and politics to create one of 2016's best-selling albums that had a large impact in a variety of markets that surpassed the category of music.
The element of surprise can be one of the strongest marketing techniques. Brands that execute this type of disruptive promotion cause a change consumer behavior and trigger some of the strongest personal and digital dialogues. Due to the unexpected release, consumer behavior is altered and now brand focused. Fans and consumers erupt in a sense of urgency to dive deep into the branded content. This social eruption causes word-of-mouth marketing, which is seen as one of the top forms of influential advertising. Awareness is built exponentially, consumer emotions are supercharged and a passionate brand engagement is created.
With the recent need for artists to stand out with successful campaigns, the market is seeing a shift in promotional techniques from brands within the industry. Traditional efforts must now be altered and amplified with unique activations, disruptive marketing and brand authentication in order to create more of an impact. By leveraging these case studies and insights, marketers can truly enhance a variety of brand experiences.
Advertising Week New York: Girls Rule
Now that Advertising Week in New York City has wrapped, I felt compelled to pen a short piece about my impressions of the monstrous confab that takes over The Big Apple each year.
For the last 13 years, Matt Scheckner and his team at Stillwell Partners who founded Advertising Week in New York as a B2B event, have evolved it to be THE must attend advertising, marketing and media industry summit. It's also grown beyond NYC to London and Tokyo and they're hosting a smaller gathering later this year in Cuba. Yes, Cuba.
Once again, they somehow seamlessly pulled off over 280 seminars and workshops, breakfasts, concerts, comedy shows, breakfasts, dinners across 30 venues in NYC. For those who couldn't be in two places at one time, they also streamed every single session online. In all honesty, I was unable to head uptown on the Wednesday but streamed the sessions, sometimes two at once, and watched on my laptop and monitor from my desk.
No surprise, as it is technically an "advertising" conference, the hot topics once again of the week were digital and the hyper growth of programmatic and of course content marketing. But, another major underlying theme of the week was WOMEN – not only how brands are marketing to (and sometimes objectifying) women, but also deep discussion on the disparity of women in senior leadership roles in our industry.
One of the most popular satellite events and my absolute favorite outgrowth of the ad/marketing conference circuit is The Girls Lounge. Founded by Shelley Zalis, The Girls Lounge is my "go to" destination from Cannes to AdWeek to CES. Shelley founded The Girls Lounge to create a place for women, and men, to connect, collaborate and empower each other. A place to check in, unplug (or charge your device) and take a break from the grind.
Each Girls Lounge is different per the conference, but every day is programmed with casual panels and keynotes featuring powerhouse women not only from advertising and marketing but entertainment, sports, and even finance. In addition to the panels each evening, they host networking events and parties that often go into the wee hours.
While at Cannes Lions they set up shop in huge penthouse suite at the Martinez overlooking the Croisette, at Adweek they tricked out a double decker bus and parked it right in front of the Times Center, the hub of the conference. The downstairs area of the bus was the primping area with experts there doing hair blow-outs and make-up touch ups – because power women have no bones about looking polished – and upstairs they set up couches and directors chairs for the talks. They also transformed a large suite within the New York Times building where they hosted talks and lunches. Another space, a pop up gallery called #SeeHer displayed empowering images from the past and present in partnership with the ANA's Alliance for Family Entertainment (AFE). The Gallery's aim was to end gender bias against women in ads by 2020 by bringing attention to the issue – a formal initiative from the ANA AFE.
The crowing jewel of Girl Lounge's presence at Adweek was a gala event sponsored by NBCUniversal and held in the main ballroom at Chelsea Piers' Pier 60 overlooking the Hudson River and Statue of Liberty. NBC reached into its arsenal of powerful talent and Linda Yaccarino, Chairman, Advertising Sales and Client Partnerships, NBCUniversal and Zalis interviewed Broadway and television starlet Kirstin Chenoweth. They were immediately followed by the uber-popular Bravo Network star Andy Cohen, who interviewed the one, and only, Kim Kardashian. The crowd of over 800, mostly women, hung on Kardashian's every word as she talked about stereotypes and her personal focus to empower women, especially young women, to stand up for themselves and embrace their power and femininity. All in all, it was a hugely powerful night, not only due to the A-list talent on stage but the room of incredible women and the overall message permeating through the crowd.
In closing, Advertising Week in New York was a huge success and the programming was more diverse than ever. But for me, what came through loud and clear was that marketing to women and girls, as well as collectively supporting other women in business, is not a conversation that is going away. Men and women are talking about it openly and with platforms like The Girls Lounge being present at our industry's main conferences, it's only going to get louder!

So what exactly is the MIT Media Lab?
Actively promoting a unique, antidisciplinary culture, the MIT Media Lab goes beyond known boundaries and disciplines, encouraging the most unconventional mixing and matching of seemingly disparate research areas. It creates disruptive technologies that happen at the edges, pioneering such areas as wearable computing, tangible interfaces, and affective computing. Today, faculty members, research staff, and students at the Lab work in 24 research groups on more than 350 projects that range from digital approaches for treating neurological disorders, to advanced imaging technologies that can "see around a corner," to the world's first "smart" powered ankle-foot prosthesis. The Lab is committed to asking the questions not yet asked–questions whose answers could radically improve the way people live, learn, express themselves, work, and play.
Read more about Eric and Caity's insights below….
Eric Ginsberg, Director, Digital Strategy:
We had an amazing opportunity to tour the MIT Media Lab in Cambridge, MA. Overall, we were blown away by the level of innovation in such a wide variety of fields. One of the most impactful sessions was a meeting with Mike Bove, who heads up the 'Object-Based Media' lab. Mike holds an SBEE, an MS in visual studies, and a PhD in media technology, all from MIT.
The overview of this lab is as follows: Can the physical world be as connected, engaging and context-aware as the world of mobile apps? We make systems that explore how sensing, understanding and new interface technologies (particularly holography and other 3D and immersive displays) can change everyday life, the ways in which we communicate with one another, storytelling, play and entertainment.
As we think about the future of lifestyle marketing, the 'Object-Based Media' lab is a potential resource to help shape the future of how consumers interact with technology.
Caity Kauffman, Senior Manager, Digital Strategy:
The opportunity to visit MIT was amazing. What struck me most was how each individual lab had its own way of exploring and tinkering. Researchers didn't always know what the end result was going to be or know how today's development could impact tomorrow. Regardless of the lab, each person had a similar sentiment: sometimes their research fixes a problem they didn't know existed.
At one of the labs, a researcher named Penny showed us a project where they were developing fabric that curled and shifted when it hit certain temperatures or precipitation. The entire purpose of this research was to simply experiment with ways to cause fabric to move and flex. Their team spent weeks, hours and months poking and prodding at triangle-shaped swatches of different types of fabric. Somewhere along the way, a major athleticwear company saw this as an opportunity to create a ventilated product that opens up when an athlete gets hot.
As someone who is always strategically thinking with a specific goal in mind, it was a unique opportunity for me to talk to thinkers who approach their work in an open-ended manner, and with the freedom to let their curiosity lead the way.
Thanks Dentsu Aegis Network for the opportunity!

'Power' Party: Terrence J. Honors Lala Anthony at Zacapa's NYC Rooftop Soiree
Culture | By on August 28, 2015 @ 11:52 am
Event kicks off new series of intimate dinner parties toasting top NYC media and entertainment figures, in partnership with TheWrap, produced by MKTG for Diageo's Zacapa Rum
It's not always lonely at the top.
E! News host Terrence J gathered 30 intimates on an NYC rooftop overlooking the Empire State Building for a special evening honoring former MTV VMA Lala Anthony on Thursday night. Anthony, star of 50 Cent's Starz series "Power," wrapped filming on Season 2 of the show two weeks ago.
For Lala and Terrence, the two have a long history together. In addition to co-starring in the "Think Like a Man" franchise and both gaining fame as hosts of live daily pop culture shows (Terrence on BET's "106th and Park", Lala as an MTV VJ on "TRL" and "Direct Effect"), Mrs. Carmelo Anthony would have you believe their bond goes back to the womb.

Traditional financial service firms are playing catch-up. The world is changing around them thanks to fintech revolution and the firms are trying to hold on. The solution for many has been to be part of the revolution, rather than just watch it go by. The Japanese lender, Mizuho Financial Group, is the latest to throw its hat in the ring.
Launching a fintech venture to keep up
Japan's second-largest lender by assets told the venture will start next month. Its aim is to create new fintech businesses, using blockchain technology and artificial intelligence in innovative ways. According to Reuters' reporting, the lender already has around 20 projects in the pipeline.
There aren't yet many details of the fintech venture – indeed, even the name of the project is still unknown. However, Daisuke Yamada, Mizuho's chief digital innovation officer, will perform as the president and the lender will provide other staff to kickstart the project. According to Yamada, the venture wants "to deepen cooperation not limited to finance to increase partners and to set the de facto standard for fintech services".
According to Yamada, the fintech venture will try to perform an export trade transaction sometime next month. It would use blockchain technology, ensuring all parties will receive the necessary documents online.
Overall, the lender wants the new venture to create $894 million in added value. It has set this target for 2020.
Fighting against technology and culture
Interestingly, Yamada has admitted the firm is not just fighting against the new technologies but also the Japanese culture of not taking risks. Japan's financial sector is known for conservative, risk-averse behaviour and this can cause challenges in an industry where risks are rather abundant.
The new fintech venture will limit the risks for the lender, as Mizuho will only have a less than 15% stake in the new venture. In an interview, Yamada said, "If we try to pursue business innovation within the bank, we have to ask around for permission from people in risk management, compliance and others. It takes forever." By limiting the stake, the lender is hoping to just suffer from labour costs instead of financial costs if things go sour.
Catching up with European and American rivals
For many Asian financial service firms, the catch up is not just with the local fintech innovation but European and American fintech innovation. The two are considered to be ahead of the game, especially in terms of traditional financial service firms adopting these new technologies.
US firms, such as Goldman Sachs, have been investing in fintech innovation. Furthermore, in the UK, Barclays just recently launched a big fintech hub to boost development. Therefore, being part of the revolution is an important survival strategy for Asian financial service firms.
The nascent technology can help traditional firms reduce costs and streamline some of the most burdensome processes. Fintech can help with international payments and securities settlements – by succeeding with the use of blockchain, for example, firms could increase their ability to expand around the globe.

The previous post (verbosely) discussed evidenced informed practice and how art may influence our science. Acknowledging that art can influence science, we must also continue to strive to 'prove' what we do, why we do it, and how it works. Best practices involve finding the ideal solution for the patient at hand (each case is a study where N=1), and finding the right solution for the right person is more important than following a particular protocol or treatment method. Just ask the patient, they'll agree.
As practitioners we find ourselves working to educate patients as to what we do, how they can better understand their condition, and what they can be doing on their own to improve their own health or wellness. Below are some great resources for evidence informed practice promotion that may help stimulate conversations within your clinic.
1) Spinecareposters.com Quality, evidenced-based health care information available for your office wall. Stimulate meaningful conversation about the topics you know are important to your patients health. From lifting techniques, to upper & lower crossed syndromes, spinal stabilization, and postural strain. These eye-catching posters are fully referenced so you can be confident that these posters mirror the excellence and knowledge of your clinical staff.
2)Public Service announcement from the West Hartford Group (WHG). (disclaimer: I am a member of this group and while I supported this effort I had no hand in the creation of this great video. I offer many thanks to those who put in the time and effort so this project could see the light of day.) The WHG encourages you to share, post, or use this video; it was created for the betterment of the chiropractic profession.
3. International Society of Clinical Rehab Specialists (ISCRS). Membership to this multidisciplinary group includes access to a wide variety of self-help articles for patients as well as member discounts to other resources for further education and patient empowerment. Visit online @ clinicalrehabspecialists.org. If you're up for the challenge, join as a General Member and begin the track to full membership.

Question of the Week

New 911 director comes on board
By Tom Marshall
Senior Advocate writer
Monica Allen has taken over as director at the Montgomery County 911 Center. She previously served as a dispatcher on the overnight shift for the past 13 years.
Allen replaces Ann Johnson, who resigned earlier this year.
Allen, a native of Bourbon County, said she's excited about the opportunity and doesn't anticipate any major changes at the center.
"I'm excited to continue the good working relationship and the good service we provide for the county and our first responders," she said.
Allen said she became a dispatcher because of her interest in the law enforcement field. She said she also saw it as a way to make a difference.
Allen declined to discuss any specific calls, but says the center remains dedicated to helping others.
"We take every call seriously and treat them professionally," she said. "We handle every call as if it was a family member or a loved one."
She encouraged the public to not hesitate to call if they have an emergency. Sometimes people are reluctant because they feel they "are being a bother," which is not the case.
Allen said she believes her background in accounting will help her manage the center. She has degrees in accounting and computer science.
The center is up on the latest technology, Allen said, but does have three dispatch openings that need to be filled. For now she is dispatching on day shift while also managing the center.
Gary Chaffins and Rob Kiskaden have remained on as supervisors. Chaffins also served as interim director until Allen was appointed to her current position.
Allen said she actually preferred the overnight shift (11 p.m. through 7 a.m.) because it afforded her the time to spend with her three children.
"It worked best with three kids so I could attend school functions and events," she said.
One daughter is a sophomore at Georgetown College studying pre-med, while her son is a senior and another daughter is a sophomore at Montgomery County High School.
Greg Beam, chairman of the 911 Board, said Allen stood out during the interview process.
"She had all the right answers," Beam said. "Her history with her degree in finance was what we were looking for. I think she is going to be the perfect match. She just outshined everybody."
Allen encourages anyone interested in becoming a dispatcher to stop by the 911 Center at 225 Oak Grove Drive to pick up an application.
You also reach the center at 498-8720.

McD's Veggie Burger seen: any tasters?
I was passing the MacDonald's on Broadway in the (downtown) Wall Street area of New York City today, and I saw hanging from the McD awning the flapping sign, "Try our Veggie Burger". Questions: Is this just a New York phenomenon or is McD's offering the v-burger in other cities? ? Anybody give the new veg-burger the taste test? Is this not encouraging that the company is responding to (presumably) a consumer demand for veggie burgers? And finally, shouldn;t we encourage this corporate move in what seems to be an encouraging direction?

We are a community health care center which has a single x-ray lab and one tech. Currently, the x-ray tech is making weekly trips to a hospital 30 miles away to transport the x-ray images to the radiologist for viewing. The following week, the tech would, again, make the trip to the hospital and would bring back any information from the radiologist for the prior week's x-rays. To me, this just screams inefficiency. I've been toying with the idea of emailing the images, but I believe in order to do that securely, I'd have to email over a VPN. I have the hardware to create a site-to-site VPN with the hospital, but I would have to work with them to get their side up. They've been a headache to work with so far, so I don't think I could get very far with them in that respect. Also, I don't have my own Exchange, so we are relying on an external email host for now. I have no way of securing the connection from them to the email's destination.
Our x-ray vendor suggested using a DICOM email system that they offer. I've read their description of the software and how it is supposed to work. Generally speaking, it allows for sending of x-ray images, via email, to any destination of your choosing. The email has the image as an attachment, but it can only be viewed after downloading some proprietary viewing software. Where I see this failing, is when we try to email an x-ray image to the radiologist and they are unable to install the viewer due to restrictions put in place by their IT department.
I've seen a few community members who are also in the health care business, so I wanted to reach out and see if I could grab some suggestions, best-practices, etc from any one on how to best go about transporting x-ray images from our facility to a radiologist, without having to physically hand-carry them, all while staying HIPAA compliant.
Thanks in advance.

I have seen x-ray images usually on CD, but of course that is no better than carrying films. Our clinic uses a courrior service to take x-rays and labs to the hospital 26 miles away. The radiologist faxes back his report the same day.
The hospital does not have a radiologist on at night, night x-rays and ct scans are read by a radiologist (Night Hawk) in Austrailia who would naturally be awake at that hour and not mind the extra business. They are not sent by e-mail, but are sent directly from one server to another via regular IP protocols. (least wise, I assume that is how it worked--I presume that it was worked out by the radiology departments and their vendors rather than the IT department, which in any case is not on site but belongs to the parent company, with maybe an IT man locally.)
The LION would look into other protocols instead of e-mail. Probably a third party storage service that you both would have access to. Maybe it would work to just FTP it to them.
Most facilities will have to go paperless fairly soon, and so it would be good to see what paperless system the hospital uses, and then use the same or a compatible system yourselves which would have that capibility built into it.
In the Abbey Infirmary I use Practice Fusion (practicefusion.com) which is a free web-based paperless system (run on advertizing similar to SpiceWorks) and they may have a way to do it. It is more physician oriented than what I actually need but you will not find any free services based on a nursing home model.
Nov 24, 2010 at 08:48 UTC
Niagara Technology Group (NTG) is an IT service provider.
I agree, third party storage with links and instructions sent via email. Email is horribly inefficient for actually transporting large files and security is very poor. A third party hosting platform would be the best approach addressing speed, security, storage, etc.
Nov 24, 2010 at 09:06 UTC
BroadwayLion, I didn't specify, but our x-ray tech is having to burn the images to disc and then carry the discs to the radiologist. We don't do the old physical prints anymore.
We are in the middle of our EPM/EHR roll-out. We chose to go with NextGen's offering. I'm not sure if their software possesses the capability to transmit digital x-rays from the system itself. I wouldn't assume that PracticeFusion would have the capability either. Worth looking into, I guess.
SAM, you echo my thoughts pretty much spot on. I was toying around with the idea of uploading the images to a cloud-based storage area and then having the radiologists access those images. Wonder if anyone here has used such a system and would care to share some information about their experience.
Nov 24, 2010 at 09:06 UTC
I don't know the details how this is done but it is almost certain that a solution exists. My only concern is that transferring files might lead to loss of info through compression and monitor resolution.
Nov 24, 2010 at 09:15 UTC
We have a similar situation with several clients, and the best way we have found is to just create a vpn from the dicom server to the hospital dicom server. Most dicom software (we use Sectra with nextgen) will allow you to push dicom images to another location. It's slow but it works.
there's really not a great solution out there for this that is in a budget most small imaging centers can afford.
Nov 24, 2010 at 09:28 UTC
Think Unified is an IT service provider.
There are definitely hosting options available, which is probably the best route. Merge Healthcare offers one http:/
We do work for veterinary offices who use online PACS storage systems to transmit images from their clinic to Imaging centers and other specialty clinics. They don't have to worry about HIPAA compliancy since they're veterinarians, but the concept is still the same. It works incredibly well for them.
I don't see much information readily available about the imaging side of that Practice Fusion system, but typically if a system has DICOM support, they usually include a method to export to another DICOM/PACS server. There are also usually options for image compression to help with potential bandwidth issues. (JPEG 2000 is common for "lossless" compression of DICOM images).
As for the site-to-site VPN, does the hospital you send to have a PACS server on site (I'd be surprised if they didn't)? If so, you only need the VPN tunnel and the DICOM connection information for their PACS server to send into it.
Nov 24, 2010 at 14:21 UTC
http://www.clearcanvas.ca and either a vpn to send images to the remote PACS or terminal server access for the remote radiologist
Nov 24, 2010 at 16:17 UTC
Why not just create a lan to lan vpn and map a drive on a computer on the destination side. Create a script that would dump all the contents of a local folder to a folder on the destination side. We are doing something like this and then the radiologist is faxing the read back to the hospital. We are 80 miles away from the nearest radiologist. It is then scanned into the medical record. We are looking at sending, using hl7 from an interface engine, and getting them back the same way in the near future, but for now the former is working.
Nov 25, 2010 at 10:56 UTC
We have multiple hospitals/clinics that all send images to us, and us to them via IPSec VPN tunnels. If you have a DICOM machine/PACS the ability to transfer lossless images for diagnostic reads is probably already built in.
The quickest way to get your distant radiology group to cooperate is to explain that in the world of radiology, nighthawk services exist . Where the radiologist is physically located is not a big concern anymore. Also, we have found that many times we end up exchanging films as the patients will have imaging studies done at both facilities and the referring physicians from the patient's home town will also want to see those studies. I am in a smaller community hospital and we exchange images with other hospitals and clinics across the state and several surrounding states. We have business agreements with the surrounding hospitals. To stay within HIPPA, you have to request studies to be pushed, so no one can browse your database. The techs like it, a couple clicks and the images are sent. The referring doctors like it, they get to review images quickly. The radiologists like it, all the patients priors are available to them for review. The ED physicians like it as they are no longer fighting with CD's and different viewing software in trauma situations. The places that used to fight this have seen it work and for the most part joined in. What is best for the patient and waiting a week is no longer acceptable to most patients.
Nov 29, 2010 at 08:29 UTC
We are using a software package called eMix which integrates nicely with our in house PACS system. It is vendor neutral and can work with any DICOM system. Essentially what you do is select the images you want to send and then upload to their secure datacenter using their software. eMix then sends an email to the intended recipient telling them that they have images waiting and to either create an account (if new user) or log in to their account and view. There is no charge to view, you only pay on the upload side (either by the study or a flat fee per month) and it's pretty minimal. In fact, it is much cheaper than sending someone on an hour long road trip twice a week.
You also get the benefit of exchanging the info immediately and getting a quicker turn around on the radiologist readings.
Also, if another facility sends you a study (not sure if that applies for your situation) you can import the study from eMix right into your PACS system.
Nov 30, 2010 at 09:39 UTC
...and waiting a week is no longer acceptable to most patients.
And it's no longer acceptable by our administrator who wants to stop having to reimburse our XR tech for fuel costs every week. She's been having to drive to and from a nearby radiology dept. for the past year, nearly, and it's racked up quite a bit of reimbursement, not to mention a lot of unnecessary mileage on the tech's personal vehicle.
We ended up purchasing a DICOM/PACS solution from our x-ray vendor last week. They have several other clients in surrounding counties that also use it. I'm sure it'll prove to be a much better solution than having to hand-carry the images on disc to the radiologist every week.
Thanks, to everyone, for their invaluable input on this. It helped me provide a better informed suggestion to my boss on what solution would be best for us in our situation. We appreciate it.
Nov 30, 2010 at 13:44 UTC
We share images back and forth with 2 different hospitals using secure VPN tunnels and the inport and export capabilities built into our PACS system. (GE Healthcare IW) It was a little fun getting the connections at first but once it was established it is so slick and we have really enjoyed that ability to push and have images sent to us. (We do not allow for quering)
Dec 28, 2010 at 00:25 UTC
We've worked with many different solutions, from Open-Med, Styrker (now Merge), Merge, Vistek....but on the low end, you could have set up a KPACS server,and sent Dicoms via VPN. I have another practice playing with OSIRIX.
Just a thoughts...for next time
Jan 28, 2011 at 15:59 UTC
How about setting up a simple ftp server (like CoreFTP - cost is about $50) to do secure file transfers (sftp). The hospital tech just needs an ftp client (CoreFTP has a free client), and internet access. Files can easily be transferred and sftp is HIPAA compliant.
Load the files in the server folder and call the hospital tech to connect and transfer. If the hospital IT Dept already has an ftp server (set up for sftp with remote access), all you need is a client and a user logon.
Aug 22, 2011 at 10:20 UTC
We're currently looking to do something similar - secure reception of files over the Internet and SSH FTP has caught my eye. Anyone else have experience with CoreFTP Server?
Aug 24, 2011 at 07:20 UTC
Our MRI's go straight to the radiologist via VPN. Our local hospital provides a website for our Doc's to view ER xrays if needed. Our digital in-house xrays are available to our docs doing surgery via a https link
Sep 19, 2011 at 14:16 UTC
We use MIRTH and dcm4chee (both open source) with a vpn connection to send the demographic and order information to our radiology group.
We also use MIRTH to receive the reports back and an Asterisk server to autofax the results. As well as store them onsite for local viewing.
Three great open source packages that if you are willing to put forth the effort, you can get a lot out of them for little cost.
May 15, 2018 at 01:50 UTC

MattS...We are having the same problem, trying to find a way to upload images to a cloud for another physician to look at them. The problem is that most of the 'clouds' we have tried do not support the extension file that is needed for viewing those images.


text: How to make your images look old. Like 1945 old. Posted on November 26, 2014 by M. Kelley in Tips and tricks No Comments On May 19th and 20th 2014, there was a WWII encampment at Old Restoration Village. If you have any interest in history around this time, 1939-1945, this was the place to be. There were about 75 re-enactors on site, each one explaining his or her different use during the war. Paratroopers, infantry, armored Calvary, and medics were there to re-create WWII for you. I shot a lot of images while I was there. There was a lot of cool things going on. 33 TON Sherman tanks driving by and machine gunners trying to kill me. I wanted to make the images look like they were from the era, so I set to work in Photoshop when I got home So here is how I did it. You can do it a couple different ways. I used Adobe camera raw on these. This software is available in Photoshop, Photoshop elements and Lightroom 1st open the image you want to work on in Abode camera raw (ACR). This is our beginning image. Let's look at the tools for ACR. Here is a very basic idea of what these sliders do. Click on the "basic" button. Red Circle. First adjust your white point, your mid-point, and your blacks to your preference. I almost always add some Clarity to the image. If you know how to, you can use the Histogram as a guide. For more info on using the histogram click here. (Coming Soon) Then go to the "HSL/Grayscale button". Red Circle. Check the "convert to grayscale" box. This will change your image to black & white Adjust the sliders underneath to get the image you want. The Sliders represent the available colors that can be adjusted to change the contrast of the image. By all means play around with these. Each represented color can be made darker or lighter, which will adjust the contrast of the black and white image. Now comes the fun part. We are going to add some toning to the image to give it an old picture feel. Click on the "split toning" button. Red Circle, Again, before you decide on the color, play around with the sliders and see all the different ways this panel can be used. For this tutorial, try to get as close to these settings as possible, but they are just a guide. Now for the final touch, let's add a white vignette and some good old fashion film grain.

text: Namaste. For a Table of Contents of these Discourses, see http://groups.yahoo.com/group/advaitin/message/27766 For the previous post, see http://groups.yahoo.com/group/advaitin/message/33571 SECTION 64: MANANA THAT TRANSCENDS INTELLECT; NIDHIDHYAASANA THAT TRANSCENDS MENTAL FEELING Tamil Original: http://www.kamakoti.org/tamil/dk6-137.htm There are three authorities -- shruti (the Vedas), yukti (reasoning), anubhava (experience) for knowing the Truth. Of these it is said that shruti corresponds to shravaNaM, yukti corresponds to mananaM and anubhava corresponds to nidhidhyAsanaM. The mantras of shruti and all the matters pertaining to Brahma-vidyA are heard by the disciple through his ears (shrotra) from the guru. It is quite fitting therefore to associate shravaNaM with shruti. The concept of yukti is a little more tough to be understood correctly. This yukti (reasoning) is not the rational thinking by which in the ordinary world we use our intellect to arrive at conclusions. Nor has this word anubhava (experience) the common connotation of experience that happens to us merely at the level of the mind in several alternating ways! What is being said here is a yukti (reasoning) that will be done, at the highest sophisticated level, by the mind and intellect which have been flooded by shraddhA and bhakti, calmed, rested and purified, after all that sAdhanA -- when they are converging to the very base of the ego for the purpose of destroying that ego. Similarly, the anubhava is what such refined and tempered mind and intellect have known by this yukti, as now experienced at the deepest layer of the mind right from the very base of the ego. I dare not lecture about them now. If it truly happens to a fortunate one amongst us, he will know it by himself. [Note by VK: Usually I dont add any word whose equivalent either in language or in sense does not exist in the Tamil original. In the above paragraph I have made one exception. The word sophisticated is mine. I am not very clear why I want it there. But after having typed it almost without thinking, I feel that without it, I am not getting the Mahaswamigals mind! Scholars should decide whether it should be there or not.] That neutral state of peace and quiet is said to be sAtvikaM. On the other hand, if we are vacillating by the force of emotion as we usually are, that is called rAjasam. The reasoning of our intellect at such a time is therefore rAjasic, and so, wrong. But the third stage sAdhaka whom we are discussing now, has destroyed his rajasic intellect and made it satvik. The reasoning that it carries out will be totally different. It will not be the reasoning that we do by objecting to the Truth and the Shastras, circumscribing ourselves by a small boundary called rationality. Instead it will be concordant with the ShAstraic Truth and be the reasoning of a wisdom that is superior to rationality. About this the Acharya has said: Mokshaika-saktyA vishhayeshhu rAgaM nirmUlya sannyasya ca sarva-karma / sashraddhayA yaH shravaNAdi-nishhTo rajaH svabhAvaM sa dhunoti buddheH // (Viveka Chudamani 182/184) The only involvement should be for Release (from samsAra). All attachment to sense objects should have been uprooted. And accordingly leaving off all karmas, becoming a sannyAsi, whoever with shraddhA is established in shravana, manana and nidhidhyAsana, he it is that discards all rajas nature of the intellect. Note that the sAdhanA regimen of mumukshutvaM, sannyAsaM and shravaNa etc. have all been mentioned. And in that state, the reasoning itself will be unique. So also in that stage, the anubhava or experience will also be unrelated to the senses but related to the antarAtmA. [Laughing, the Mahaswamigal says] I am telling you in the manner of a professor. That kind of reasoning will be super-rational and the experience mystic! MananaM, the process of mental repetitions of the upadesha, is for the purpose of the mind to stay put instead of giving any scope for digression or distraction. It is this mananaM that is called AvRtti in Brahma-sUtra. The Vedas have repeatedly prescribed repeated memorisation: -- *asakRd upadeshAt* (IV 1.1.) How long should one do this memorisation? The Acharya replies with a sense of humour: If you are told to husk paddy, you should not be asking how long should I husk it?. You have to husk until you see the rice coming out. So also until the Atman comes out of the cloud of avidyA, you have to be in that same thought, same repetition, same dhyAnaM. (To be Continued) PraNAms to all students of advaita.

Former Lexington Christian star Robbie Ross made an impressive minor-league debut in the Spokane (Wash.) Indians' 5-3 victory over the Yakima Bears on Saturday night.
Ross, who was selected by the Texas Rangers in the second round of last year's amateur draft, struck out nine Yakima batters without a walk in five innings of work to earn a victory in his first professional start. The 19-year-old gave up four hits and two earned runs.
The Indians are the defending champions in the Class A short-season Northwest League. Their first game of the season was Saturday night.
Ross just arrived in Spokane from extended spring training in Arizona, according to The Spokesman-Review (Spokane, Wash.).
More than a dozen of Ross' family members made the trip from Lexington to attend Saturday night's game, according to the newspaper.
Ross, who got a $1.575 million signing bonus from the Rangers last summer, threw 43 of his 59 pitches for strikes.
"He really pounded the zone," Indians catcher Vincent DiFazio told The Spokesman-Review. "His fastball has some electricity behind it that I haven't seen in a long time ... His slider was breaking sharp, and his change-up was in the zone and dropping off the table."

Pelargonium Cold Relief is a traditional herbal medicinal product used to relieve the symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections including the common cold, such as sore throat, cough, and blocked or runny nose, exclusively based upon long-standing use as a traditional remedy.
On average, adults have between two and four colds a year, while children may have as many as eight to ten annually. Colds are highly infectious and symptoms can last from two days up to as long as 14 days. Pelargonium traditionally provides natural relief from the normal symptoms of the common cold.
Pelargonium sidoides DC, the active ingredient in Pelargonium Cold Relief, is the best-researched herbal cough and cold medicine worldwide. For best results, take Pelargonium Cold Relief as soon as you are getting a cold.

The Football League has announced that it's going to dock Crystal Palace 10 points following Tuesday's news that the club was entering administration. While it's hardly unexpected – fans are all too familiar with sporting sanctions nowadays – it's still a blow to fans who now see their club sucked from the outskirts of the play-off slots to a relegation battle.
Tales of financial woe have been an all too common theme this season, everyone from Manchester United down seems to be in some sort of difficulty unless they have a deep-pocketed sugar daddy.
Palace may be the first Football League club to enter administration this season but they probably won't be the last and plenty more are on the brink. In non-league football things can be even more precarious. Spare a thought, for example, for fans of King's Lynn FC who were officially wound up back in November 2009 while Chester City have just been given a 42-day window to pay off a £26,000 tax bill.
Chairman Simon Jordan warned of cash flow problems last year and has been searching for a buyer since 2008. The club were due to appear in court yesterday to face HMRC over an unpaid £1.2m tax bill while administrators P&A Partnership will be looking to find a new buyer and satisfy the clubs creditors.
As ever there's a tangled web of finance and interested parties. It seems the debt is around the £30m mark and Jordan was taking advice and (costly) loans from a company who specialise in keeping afloat businesses operating at a loss. That'll be a football club then.
Palace fans' opinion on Jordan seems split, some admire his brashness while others allege incompetence which allowed the club to slip into the level of debt it found itself in anyway. One thing's for certain, Jordan wasn't shy to say what he thought on the way, so it could be a bumpy ride on the way down.
The fire sale of the club's players will no doubt catch the headlines, Moses could be parting the seas to join Real Madrid if you believe the reports (or more likely Newcastle, WBA, or Forest) and ex-chairman Ron Noades is playing down rumours that he'll return.
However it isn't just player sales that concerns Palace's hardcore, even Selhurst Park could be up for grabs. "PwC must enter into dialogue with the Crystal Palace Supporters' Trust (CPST) and other interested buyers to discuss how the ground can be safeguarded," said Lesley Palmer of CPST when we spoke to her.
The ground is currently rented back to the club by PwC on behalf of one of the club's largest creditors, Lloyds TSB, and supporters are desperate to find out just what's going on.
Set up in 1999, during Palace's last stint in administration, CPST certainly have the experience (and ambition) to make a difference.
They've also seen numbers jump in recent days with hundreds of new members joining and Lesley predicts the numbers will rise further as fans wake up to the fact that all is not well in the world of football finance. If ever there was a time that Palace's fans should get involved in the Trust movement it's now.

"It becomes hard to put the book down……the narrative becomes truly wrenching. One hopes that Gabriel will keep writing; a remarkable beginning," - Kirkus Reviews
MACCLESFIELD, England (PRWEB) January 20, 2016
Can the shadows of a tragic past dim the light of the present? Author Gaynor Gabriel explores this question as she exemplifies a poignant tale of hope and survival in her book, "The Long Shadow" (published by AuthorHouse UK). The critically acclaimed novel is all set to receive its fresh marketing campaign following its successful release last 2013.
"The Long Shadow" offers a psychological and emotional dimension of two fictional Jewish families - one French and one English – who are caught in the horrors of the holocaust. Through the two main characters, Sarah and Claude, Jews, and their families, the book reflects not just an individual psychological development but the psychology of a community spanning four generations in diverse cultural spaces. The effects of their tragic experiences are played out very differently and in unexpected ways and places.
A candid depiction of the war's sustaining impact not only to its victims but also to their families and progeny, "The Long Shadow" offers an unforgettable tale that is both an exposition and a plea.
"There were six million Jews murdered during the holocaust," says Gabriel who has Jewish roots herself, "It is vital that none of us forget this hideously extreme example of man's inhumanity to man."
Praise for "The Long Shadow:"
"It becomes hard to put the book down……the narrative becomes truly wrenching. One hopes that Gabriel will keep writing; a remarkable beginning,"
- Kirkus Reviews
"This is a well-charted tale of how great sorrow can colour lives long after the event."
- BlueInk Review
"Introspective and profoundly moving, Gabriel's realistic portrayal of war's aftermath will leave an enduring impression."
- Foreword Reviews

Earl Grey sampler gift
I gave this item as a gift, which the recipient loved and said was packaged nicely. I chose 1 day shipping, which the gift did get delivered on time. I also was able to have customer service correct a last minute zip code error on my behalf very timely so that delivery did not get mixed up. Very happy with this item!

The REAL thing!
I got a sampler of the earl grey teas for my husband, and he said that they were the real thing, not processed or manufactured. He felt that the tea leaves were just picked up from the plant. However, after trying they all, the Russian black tea was not as good as the others. It wasn't bad, just not as good. We will definitively purchase more teas in the future. He just has to decide which tea is the best.

Filed under TLS Archives
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Zoe Rogers is a senior at Sartell who has loved to draw since she was little. She always enjoyed filling up drawing pads with doodles, and now that she's in high school, she's begun taking her art more seriously.
I asked Zoe about her art and this is what she had to say.
1. Where do you draw your inspiration for your pieces?
"I'm so inspired by people who make things, whether it's art, music, writing, science, you name it—my peers and close friends and all of their creativity are a huge inspiration."
Zoe Rogers – Deep Blue
2. What is your favorite thing to draw/paint and why?
"My favorite subject matter in my art is people. I think that's because people's faces and bodies can express so much in such a simple way, and there's always so much diversity and variety to explore within people."
3. What is your favorite work of art that you've done and why?
"I'm really proud of a linoleum block reduction print that I just finished over the weekend! It's one of my favorite works because I tried a new technique—reduction printing—and it worked out well. The title is 'Revelation'."
Zoe Rogers – Revelation
