MIAMI — Automated cars rolling smoothly on an elevated track began service this weekend on a 1.9-mile loop through downtown, carrying passengers and the hopes of this city`s beleaguered mass transit system.
The $148 million dual track system, the Metromover, is the first urban use of the automated people-moving technology that has become a familiar conveyence at airports like those in Atlanta, Orlando, Tampa and Dallas-Fort Worth that shuttle passengers between terminals and departure gates.
Miami`s system also is the first designed to connect with an existing heavy rail system of mass transit, Metrorail.
Miami area transit officials are optimistic that the connection will entice suburban commuters to abandon their automobiles and congested highways to use Metrorail, the $1 billion system that began operating in 1984 and has been plagued by low ridership.
When Miami-area voters were asked in 1978 to approve bonds to help pay for construction, they were told that 100,000 fares daily could be expected by the end of the first year of operation and that the figure would double once the entire Metrorail system and Metromover came on line. But daily fares, not individual riders, now average only 25,000.
As recently as two years ago, projections called for 40,000 fares a day on Metromover. That figure has been scaled down to 8,000 to 10,000, and critics say actual use may prove to be half that, for a maximum of 3.65 million fares a year.
By comparison, the people-mover system at Hartsfield International Airport in Atlanta, also designed by the Westinghouse Electric Corp., carries 40 million airline passengers a year and is the nation`s fourth-busiest transit system.
The fare on Metromover is 25 cents, free if one connects to Metrorail, which costs $1.
A single circuit of the downtown loop takes 10 minutes. Air-conditioned cars, 39 feet long, can carry 100 passengers and move at a top speed of 30 miles an hour between the nine stations, about 1,000 feet apart. The electric motor cars move singularly or in tandem in both directions along an open elevated track that ranges from 20 feet to 50 feet above downtown streets.

Medicine Remains a Mystery (by Dr. Rehan Zaidi)

It is our duty to keep our debit cards and credit cards safe and secure. It will be of no use if we worry later after missing our funds and money from our debit and credit cards by not keeping it safe. Credit and debit cards safety tips might help you in saving your money.
Here is an incident that happened in Delhi a few weeks back. Narang from Delhi would not have ever thought that he would get cheated who has been doing his daily online transaction through his debit in the restaurant where he is working as a manager.
To his surprise, he has received an SMS that said, "Your account has been debited with Rs. 20,000.00 – Thank you". When he searched for his debit card he found it missing with him and later he realized that he has forgotten it at the ATM center itself while he had taken money just before.
The person who took the card had made a purchase of Rs. 20,000 from a shop using this debit card. Soon he realized his card is being misused, he had approached the bank on telephone and blocked his card for any further transactions. However, the money that has gone is gone forever. To stop these kinds of fraudulent activities, the Central Reserve Bank has introduced recently the 3D PIN number and password. In this situation, a Bangalore based company; 3B Technologies has recommended another security system to safeguard debit and credit cards from thefts. According to this method, once when you shop to buy a product or use your cards for any payment for a service, you (card holder) will be getting an instant SMS with the details of the purchase that has been made. It will be a questionable message stating the exact amount of purchases made where you must reply "yes" or "no". Your account will be debited only when you reply "yes" to that message. Otherwise the transaction will be declined.
However, other experts and critics say that this method of safety would not be successful among public as most of them are not concerned about the safety of their debit or credit cards by only for a speedy and quick transaction.
Not all the safety of the credit and debit cards will be technical. Keeping the card safe with you all depends on how conscious on your earnings and spending. While using your debit cards to withdraw money, be sure to collect your card back as not all the ATM machines are same in operation. While certain ATM machines have the swiping area to swipe and enter the PIN, some other ATM machines need you to insert the card completely until your transaction gets over. A simple distraction could be the reason to lose your money.
At any case if you miss either your debit or credit card, the first step you need to do is to call your bank with card or bank account details and block the card. Once your money is safe, rest can be done later.

I read a great post about pricing your Ebooks.
Publishing Advice: 12 Top Tips on Setting Ebook Prices by Debbie Young
It gives a broad overview of price points for novels and the psychology behind $.99 price endings.
What to consider when pricing your book. These include:
- Perceived Value which is a comparison for the type of book your are writing and how much comparable books in your category are selling for. While doing case studies is a great indicator for ebook market conditions, there are many, many different reasons why books sell at .99 and 7.99.
- Borrows. When amazon changed their Kindle Unlimited and KOLL (lending library) payouts from 10% read to pages read authors were up in arms. Short stories were no longer as lucrative under the loan model as novels with more pages. As self-publishers we can write what we want, then determine how to market it for the best return. (This includes who we distribute thorough for the best return.)
- Pricing for what your worth. Authors work hard on their art and the value we see in ourselves is not often achieved right out the gate. While we want to be in the same price range, this is truly an individual sport. Just because another writer values their book at X, it should not affect the value you have on your work.
While there is no right or wrong way to determine price for your books, first time authors – Do not to play the numbers game so much that it reigns in your creativity.
Fellow author Jane Steen said it best:
Learn to "see" the point where the book is as good as you, at your current stage of development as a writer, are going to get it (don't compare yourself to the top writers in your genre). Then get the best editor and cover design you can afford, and push that Publish button–then don't look back. Write the next book.
The Numbers Game
- Don't price your book at $.99 because you have seen others do it that way
- Do price your book at $.99 because you have a planned out marketing strategy for your book that may or may not include a promotion to get your name out there.
- Don't price your book at $7.99 because that's what people pay for traditionally published books
- Do price your book at $7.99 because your in a niche market and have proven value and sustainability at this price point
- Don't commit to write three novellas because novellas are hot right now and can sell at a lower price point.
- Do commit to write three novellas because you love shorter length works and that is what you want to write at this point in your career.
- Don't write serials because it's the new fad and another author is making money with that model
- Do write serials because it's a model you hadn't considered before and you love Y&R. You know the format and could rock it.
At the end of the day, there is literally no right answer. We all have to find our own way to success.
Have you gotten burned by playing the numbers game? Or does the numbers game work for you?

The nonexistence of the physical body when we die is just that... but really, we live on forever.
food for thought: "Into the darkness they go, the wise and the lovely."—Millay
I have been inspired ever since I took a workshop by Brother Brian. He has one coming up on May 10 (however, I have other plans – as do some of my other writer buddies who are going to see Sioux perform in Listen To Your Mother), but if there's someone out there who is interested, check out Brother Brian's blog post.

South African Systems Integration Market, Forecast to 2021
Systems integration (SI) makes up a significant portion of IT budgets in South Africa, as enterprises seek to accelerate their digital transformation. In the absence of an established leading technology platform across all operations, enterprises have mostly opted for best-of-breed systems. As a result, systems integration (SI) spend is being driven by the wide range of highly distributed systems and applications that enterprises are integrating in their operations. In 2016, SI spend across seven verticals— banking and financial services (BFS), healthcare, manufacturing, mining, oil& gas, public sector, and retail—was estimated at R9.4 billion. The SI spend in these sectors is expected to grow to R10.5 billion by 2021. This market insight provides an analysis of the current structure of the systems integration market, with an emphasis on the main service categories: infrastructure integration, application integration, and consulting services. Included in the report is a discussion of some of the main technology and industry-specific trends shaping the pattern of SI spending. Strategic action points are highlighted in response to the current and changing dynamics of the market. The SI opportunity in the aforementioned verticals is expected to record a CAGR of 2.9% during the 2016–2021 period. BFS, which dominates the market (56%), along retail (18%) and the public sector (10%), will account for majority of the growth. Financial services providers and retailers, in particular, are digitising their operations to better serve an increasingly demanding customer base and a more mobile labour force. They are striving to leverage advanced analytics and mobility solutions in order to provide more personalised services and improve their engagement with customers. The oil and gas and healthcare sectors are expected to have the highest SI spend growth, albeit coming off a very low base. The varying digital maturity stages at which the different verticals are will force SI providers to rely less on a one-size-fits-all approach and focus on adopting a strategic-partnership-oriented approach. Whilst the hardware and software market is dominated by international OEMs and providers, local providers have become more competitive in the SI market. However, sectors such as BFS are keeping some of the development and management of applications in-house, as IT is increasingly becoming a more strategic differentiator in the industry. Of the three main SI categories, spend across the seven verticals is dominated by infrastructure integration, accounting for about 40% of the total SI budget. This is due to the continued spend on network and data centre integration, as enterprises invest in becoming more cloud-ready. During the forecast period, the contribution of integration consulting is expected to rise from 28% to 32%, as IT service providers adopt a more consultative selling approach.

Autumn Colour
Autumn foliage brings out the poet in most of us. Who can resist the amazing colours that appear once the days start to wane and nighttime temperatures chill out. The magic happens as leaves stop synthesizing chlorophyll and start revealing all their glorious and extraordinary underlying colours. It is a new though elegiac moment in the garden.
But plants with blazing colours look inarticulate and uncomfortable when they are jammed into the garden willy-nilly. Autumn foliage should be in combinations that move gracefully from the deepest reds to the most intense golds. To get the best out of autumn colours, there are a few cautions to observe along the way.
This is a great time of year to buy plants so you can observe what the leaf colour will actually be like. When the tag says red, is it a red with blue over-tones or yellow? Will it go with the bricks of your house? Some reds look awful up against the ubiquitous red brick of Canadian architecture. You need gold colours, even neon tones to stand out against the more prosaic tones of the brick. But any house with wood details or possessing a neutral stone can take just about any bright colour combination.
It?s always a good idea to buy small plants, especially trees and shrubs, so they have time to acclimatize. But if you are thinking mainly of extraordinary autumn colours this should become a major rule.? You?ll be able to see them turn and then move them around avoiding any glaring clashes that offend your eye. Moving a great big tree because it doesn?t quite sit well with the thing next to it is folly. The great big tree is going to suffer. When they are small you can move them around as easily as big perennials.
Think about combining the tonal values the way you do when painting walls: bright orange lends itself to being next to a red with lots of yellow in it, or even better purple foliage. I like to mix in purple-black foliage plants with brighter deciduous trees and shrubs it not only leavens some of the eye popping quality, it usually improves the look by being such a contrast.? Ninebark (Physocarpus ?Diabolo?) with deep almost magenta purple leaves is a perfect foil for most larger trees and shrubs in just about every tonal value. The pure black of an elder called Sambucus ?Black Lace? will look superb with any of the plants listed here.
Look for good autumn leaf colour when you are buying woody plants this time of year, and make sure you have lots of plants and vines with berries to keep the birds coming back into your garden all winter long.
The Plant List
These are trees and shrubs for autumn which are absolutely guaranteed to dazzle.? Most flaming colours last less than two weeks but what a glorious show.
- Japanese Maples: These small trees have a variety of leaf shape and autumn colour and this list is confined to my favourites.
- Acer palmatum ?Sango-kaku?: the pink of spring, light green of summer give way to one of the best golds known in autumn.? Make sure the plant goes into winter well watered and deeply mulched. In some areas it should wrapped.
- A. p.? ?Scolopendrifolium?:?? deeply cut leaves medium size with an umbrella shape. Turns bright yellow.
- Acer palmatum ?Dissectum Atropurpureum? turns slowly from a purple to an almost orange really be careful with this spectacular plant because it doesn?t go with all the autumnal tones.
- A. shirasawamun ?Aureum? The gold of the leaves becomes more intense and then it slowly turns red.
- A. p. ?Shinedoshojo? has firmer larger leaves than most other Japanese maples and it doesn?t wimp out in the heat of summer, the red is a scarlet (touch of blue) and it?s gorgeous.
- A. p. ?Evergreen? Another good cut-leaf Japanese maple which turns a pure gold.
- Other shrubs and trees:
- Fothergilla gardenii: a small (less than 2M) shrub with serrated edged triangular leaves.? It turns such an astounding range of neon tones in autumn that should be be placed very carefully.
- Cornus nuttallii is BC?s native plant and no wonder it produces masses of spring flowers and turns a brilliant gold. Very showy.
- Aronia x prunifolia ?Brilliantissima? a surprisingly underused beauty.? The leaves turn a glossy scarlet with big pinkish berries.
- Barberry (Berberis thunbergii ?Aurea?) turns brilliant red in autumn so you get a lot of colour out of one plant.? B. t. ?Golden Ring? not only turns red it also has red berries.
- Oakleaf Hydrangea (Hydrangea quercifolia) has deeply cut large green leaves that turn almost magenta in autumn and hang on well in to winter.
- Cotinus coggygria ?Little Lady? turns yellow and orange.
- Katsura (Cercidiphyllum magnificum) has heart-shaped leaves which turn a glorious gold. Since it?s a small tree (10M) it makes a great vase-shaped screening plant.
- Disanthus cercidifolius has bluish leaves that turn a true purple in the autumn with a tiny flower that?s almost a rose-red in mid autumn.? This is one of the most interesting shrubs available for the garden right now.

text: As though cued by some wildlife grapevine, all strays found their way to her. The tiny cottage she had painted the color of Van Gogh's yellow house at Arles seemed all but swallowed up by towering trees, but all strays found it a refuge, a focal point - as though they understood that she too might be a kind of stray. All strays let her settle sometime differences, allowed her to reconcile historic foes as when the crow would fly from his perch to pluck a single hair from the tail of the sleeping cat, until finally she thought she had instilled in her charges a grudging tolerance of each other and a reluctant trust. And the yellow cottage was a sanctuary where, as though recognizing their own kind beyond the outer aspect, within the skin, all strays somehow always beat a path to her.

My ring has been sitting in our sock drawer for like a month, and I'm so excited to be able to wear it all the time now and finally tell everyone that we're engaged!
A little backstory: I obviously knew it was coming, and I do NOT like surprises. Every day I told my SO that I didn't want to be surprised, and he always laughed and said "when I wake up that day, I'll tell you 'today's the day!'". Also, Flag Day has always been a big joke between us. Whenever I'd see something I wanted, he'd say "I'll get it for you for Flag Day!" or "sounds like the perfect Flag Day present!". On important days like my birthday or Christmas, he'd hug and kiss me and say "happy Flag Day!"
So, yesterday, on Flag Day, I went to a baby shower, and came home to sunflowers on the counter and James Taylor (MY FAVORITE) playing on our record player. As soon as I walked in he jumped up and kissed me and said "you're getting engaged today!", and then brought me over to the counter. He handed me a box of my favorite contact solution as an "engagement present", as I'd been complaining about the new brand I was trying out, haha. Then he just told me how much he loved me and handed me the ring box, and I put it on! Then he hugged me and said "Happy Flag Day" and I giggled and got a little teary eyed because that's such an "us" joke, and that's all I ever wanted for a proposal… a very quiet, alone, "us" proposal.
I've posted this picture a million times, but here it is again for good measure!

Editor's Note: Nation columnist Eric Alterman wrote a letter to the editor in response to our June 21 editorial "Free Gaza." Below is Alterman's letter, the magazine's response and the original editorial.
Israel Is Not the Only One at Fault
You know, it's funny. Israel, Egypt and the Palestinian Authority are all engaged in this blockade (which I strongly oppose). But if you read The Nation's editorial on the topic, "Free Gaza," you'd have to assume that they are all doing this because it's fun, or because they are big meanies or, at best, for no reason at all. There is no notion at all that any sane person in Israel or Egypt or the West Bank would ever have a problem with anything Hamas has ever done or have any reason for concern if it ruled the country on its borders and had the powers to kill whomever it liked by whatever means it liked. You'd never know, either, that it is a regressive, totalitarian, anti-Semitic political movement that is opposed to liberalism in all its forms, and particularly as it relates to women. This editorial, like most Nation editorials on the topic, simply assumes that Israel is 100 percent at fault in this conflict, and that whoever opposes it is 100 percent correct. It is the mirror image of the right-wing Zionist viewpoint it attacks. And as such, it can have no relevance to the views of anyone who takes the complications of the conflict seriously in the hopes of finding a solution that might one day be acceptable to the country that this magazine consistently demonizes.
Nation columnist
The Editors Reply
The point of the "Free Gaza" editorial was not to analyze Hamas but to explain why the Israeli military's violent attack on a humanitarian flotilla in international waters, and the blockade of Gaza that attack was enforcing, are so damaging not only to basic Palestinian rights but to long-term Israeli and US interests.
The Nation has never been a supporter of Hamas; as Alterman must surely know, three years ago in a lead editorial we said, "We cannot accept Hamas's ideology, and we reject the idea that 'Islam is the solution' to political problems (the common formulation of Hamas and other Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated movements). But the United States and Israel must finally acknowledge that Hamas is a popular movement with deep roots in Palestinians society, and for that reason should be engaged rather than ignored." In 2006 Hamas won what were universally acknowledged to be free and fair elections. For the United States and Israel to attempt to sabotage those elections and isolate Hamas—which they have done from the moment the results were announced—just because they didn't like the outcome is not only the height of hypocrisy but deeply damaging to the prospects for a resolution of the conflict. As we pointed out three years ago, "arbitrary exclusion of a major, democratically elected Palestinian constituency in favor of malleable figures with little popular support is doomed to fail."

Yes i see that again, but a generic, i know it is an older laptop and even for me searching it seems hard to find it from a reputable site and manufacturer except for the Crucial one.
This is of course your choice, we can only advise you and help with problems here.
As said in earlier posts i always first check the manufacturers site of my system for what will work with it, i can not always rely on the internet for correct answers and advice.
I went to Crucials site for my system it told me i can only use 2 - 4GB RAM modules = 8GB, which i had already, but after speaking to my computer manufacturer and checking there web site i found i could go up to 16GB RAM on my motherboard and i did and it works great, no issues.
As you see not always right on web.Always get as much info as you can.

The snow fell liberally all over Iowa this weekend. It fell on rooftops in Sioux City and Cedar Rapids and here in Waterloo. It gathered on grain silos and railroad tracks and on the tidy front porch of Kathy Wilson's new home.
Ms. Wilson bought the property this summer after four years of renting. Waterloo's economic prospects, once gray as the curbside slush, have improved dramatically in that time, and Wilson has decided to stay here, in her hometown, for good.
She isn't alone. In the third quarter of this year, a real-estate buying spree boosted the sale prices of existing homes in Waterloo by 17 percent, according to the National Association of Realtors. It was the largest such increase in any American city.
To Wilson, Waterloo's economic recovery offers a chance to battle the approaching winter with a fireplace and a two-car garage. To economists, it confirms what they've long suspected: The resurgence of the Great Plains economy is a largely urban phenomenon.
"States like Iowa really have two economies," says Thomas Pogue, a University of Iowa economist. "Many of the smaller rural towns that haven't picked up major employers are facing dull real-estate markets and an uncertain future. Meanwhile, cities like Waterloo have become growth centers."
By any standard, the Plains states are roaring back from the agricultural depression of the 1980s.
The plains' roaring '90s
In that decade, unemployment in the five-state region peaked at 13 percent, and earnings per worker dipped below the national average for the first time. Iowa's population declined 4.7 percent, and housing markets bottomed out. In Waterloo, the median home price dipped below $50,000.
Since then, the region has nearly recovered all of its lost population. Regional jobless figures are the nation's lowest, and per-worker wages in Iowa rose to $28,500 in 1994, back above the national average. The region's low cost of living and good schools have lured a wave of new companies here, from telemarketers and manufacturers to high-tech firms, which have generally set up shop in mid-sized towns like Waterloo close to universities and community colleges.
The result, experts say, is a more diverse and urbanized economy capable of withstanding downturns. A recent report by the Center for the New West proclaimed the region's economy the strongest since the advent of the Transcontinental Railroad.
Although Iowa cities like Cedar Rapids, Ames, Sioux City, and Iowa City have witnessed recoveries and jumps in real-estate prices, Waterloo's belated success is arguably more significant. As a meatpacking center and home to John Deere, the farm- equipment giant, this town of 67,000 was walloped by the agricultural slump of the 1980s. Job cutbacks and plant closings caused some city officials to say, not entirely in jest, the last person to leave Waterloo "should turn out the lights."
Yet civic leaders here, like their counterparts in cities across the Plains, banded together to offer corporate incentives. Hawkeye Community College expanded its job-training programs, and Deere began outsourcing more of its operations to lure independently owned firms. A steady increase in manufacturing and packing jobs that pay $7 to $9 per hour has attracted workers and convinced many former renters like Wilson, who is a registered nurse, to purchase homes. "Throughout the 1980s, houses in Waterloo ranked at the bottom in the state in median-priced housing," says Larry Niemans, former president of the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Board of Realtors. "We had a tremendous oversupply of small houses built in the 1950s, and they did not bring a lot of money. It took a lot of time for the supply to be absorbed."
A nice two-bedroom - cheap
At present, home prices here are still low, even by Iowa standards. According to the survey of 136 US metropolitan areas, the median price for existing homes in Waterloo and its neighbor, Cedar Falls, was $68,200 during the third quarter, compared with $102,000 in Des Moines.
According to Lou Cutwright, Waterloo's building inspector, the city has issued permits for about 65 new single-family dwellings in each of the past four years. Of these, he says, about 40 percent will sell for $90,000 and above.
Local realtors say these new homes have charged the real-estate market by luring retirees and older families out of homes that growing families have been eyeing for years. "We haven't had a big jump in population," Mr. Niemans explains. "What's going on here is that everybody's confident enough about the economy to move up a notch."
For Waterloo and cities like it, the future seems bright. Although the Plains region has one of the nation's highest work-force participation rates, and a dearth of workers could start to curb economic growth, few people will be dwelling on that this winter.
This, it seems, will be a winter of contentment.
"I've always wanted a house with a garden, a decent kitchen, a front porch, a big dining room, and a fireplace," Wilson says. "I spent a little more than I planned to, but I don't regret it. This is my American dream."

Utsusemi by Motoi Yamamoto is an art installation that revolves around a slim set of stairs that has been constructed out of salt. Known for his salt mazes, this Japanese artist has applied his medium of choice to something a little less puzzling. Salt is very meaningful in the Japanese culture. Used in death rituals, it is often given to funeral attendants so that they can ward off evil. With this in mind, it gives greater context to the art installation.
Reflecting on the devastating effects of earthquakes, Utsusemi by Motoi Yamamoto has an interactive quality to it. Over time, the blocks of salt crumble in the presence of a simulated earthquake. The subsequent pouring of salt is a tribute to the lives lost during these natural disasters.

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. -- Volunteers that provide legal services to the poor were lauded last week in a Legal Services of the Hudson Valley Pro Bono Week celebration.
The American Bar Association launched the celebration in 2009 to raise awareness of the unmet legal needs of vulnerable and economically disadvantaged individuals and families and to encourage more attorneys and paralegals to volunteer through non-profit organizations to help meet these needs.
LSHV provides non-criminal legal services to those that cannot afford it in the seven counties of the lower and mid-Hudson Valley. LSHV has about 300 volunteer attorneys and paralegals to provide pro bono legal assistance to clients in matters that its staff cannot handle because of limited resources.
These include cases in the areas of family law, consumer, housing, wills, bankruptcy, and unemployment among others.
A pro bono event last week drew 70 people to LSHV's White Plains headquarters, where the organization honored eight attorneys and one paralegal for their pro bono assistance to our clients filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
"Bankruptcy continues to be an area where there is tremendous need for legal services and our bankruptcy pro bono attorneys and paralegals continue to work with our organization to benefit the greatest number of clients," said Marian Genio, LSHV's Pro Bono Director.
The honorees were Julie Cvek Curley, Partner at DelBello Donnellan Weingarten Wise & Wiederkehr LLP; Deyanira Gonzalez , paralegal at Cabanillas & Associates; Nathan Horowitz ; a solo practitioner attorney; Dawn Kirby , Partner at DelBello Donnellan Weingarten Wise & Wiederkehr LLP; Natasha Meruela , a solo practitioner attorney; Susan Mills Richmond , staff attorney at Legal Aid of Rockland County; Hugh Rothbaum , a solo practitioner attorney; Wendy Marie Weathers , Senior Managing Attorney at Cabanillas & Associates; Ted Zink, Jr. , Partner at McCarthy Fingar LLP.
LSHV's services are available to clients living at/or below 200 percent of Federal Poverty Income Guideline level or $48,600 for a family of four.

Two people were arrested after San Bernardino County probation officers say they discovered a loaded Uzi submachine gun, loaded shotgun and methamphetamine in a Rialto house.
Raymond Thompson, 45, and his girlfriend, Julisse Hart, 35, were arrested Monday, Oct. 29, on suspicion of violating probation and committing narcotics, firearms, and stolen-property crimes, a news release said.
Probation officers were making a routine contact in the 700 block of South Orange Street with Thompson, who was on supervised early release because of the realignment of prisoners from control of the state to the counties. Thompson has previous firearms convictions, the release said.
The residents were slow to open the door, and Thompson was found hiding in a bathroom with meth and $3,000 on him, the release said. A search aided by a K-9 narcotics dog yielded other items, including materials that can be used in identity theft, the release said.

On June 22, 2011, the Ontario government published final regulations governing the division of pensions on marriage breakdown. With the publication of these regulations, which come into force on January 1, 2012, long-awaited reform of the family law provisions of the Ontario Pension Benefits Act appears to be coming to a close.
The reform of the marriage breakdown provisions began with the passing of Bill 133, the Family Statute Law Amendment Act, on May 14, 2009. Under this new regime, former spouses of plan members will be able to receive an immediate payment of their share of the member's pension benefits – either as a lump sum transfer or a division of monthly pension payments, depending upon whether the valuation date is before or after the member's retirement. (This differs from the current "if and when" regime, which requires spouses to wait until the member has terminated employment or retired before they can access the member's pension.)
In March of this year, the Ontario government finally released the regulations – in draft form – required to implement this regime. As discussed in my earlier blog post, the draft regulations set out the methodology to be followed by pension plan administrators when calculating the valuation of the member's pension assets.
In the final form of the regulations, some refinements have been made to the calculation methodology, including:
- guidance for administrators of "hybrid" plans (i.e., plans that include both defined benefit and defined contribution components) – the government had sought feedback on this issue earlier this year in its consultation paper;
- separate methodologies depending upon whether the valuation date falls before or after the earliest date on which the member would have been eligible (or deemed eligible) for an unreduced pension under the plan's early retirement provisions; and
- procedures to follow where an agreement has not yet been reached with respect to the valuation date.
To provide additional guidance to plan administrators and members, the Financial Services Commission of Ontario (FSCO) has posted questions and answers on its website. Among other things, these Qs&As confirm that there will be no retroactive application of the new rules, and thus court orders and agreements made before January 1, 2012 will continue to be governed by the current "if and when" regime. The Qs&As also emphasize that once in force, all plan administrators must provide these calculations when requested to do so – it is not voluntary.
FSCO has also indicated that it is in the process of developing new marriage breakdown forms, including a form to be completed by spouses requesting a plan administrator to determine the value of pension assets and a form to be completed by the plan administrator showing the value of those assets.
Given the complexity of these new regulations, plan administrators should begin putting in place systems and procedures now so that they are ready to respond to requests in the new year.

An academic at the University of Sheffield has used groundbreaking technology to investigate the potential innocence of a woman convicted of poisoning a child in her care.
Professor Sean Spence, who has pioneered the use of functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) to detect lies, carried out groundbreaking experiments on the woman who, despite protesting her innocence, was sentenced to four years in prison. His results have now been published for the first time in the journal European Psychiatry.
Using the technology, Professor Spence examined the woman´s brain activity as she alternately confirmed her account of events and that of her accusers. The tests demonstrated that when she agreed with her accusers´ account of events she activated extensive regions of her frontal lobes and also took significantly longer to respond -- these findings have previously been found to be consistent with false or untrue statements.
Although the technology has previously been claimed to be 90% accurate -- far better than polygraph tests -- its use has also been open to debate. Lie detection tests are already used regularly in parts of the US justice system, as well as by businesses. But these are the first brain scanning tests of their kind, carried out on a real-life case, reported in the world literature.
Professor Spence said: "This research provides a fresh opportunity for the British legal system as it has the potential to reduce the number of miscarriages of justice. However, it is important to note that, at the moment, this research doesn´t prove that this woman is innocent. Instead, what it clearly demonstrates is that her brain responds as if she were innocent."
"If proved to be accurate, and these findings replicated, this technology could be used alongside other factors to address questions of guilt versus innocence."

It's a theme I go back to often - when we compare ourselves to others, we fail ourselves. We are a study of one. Nobody has lived our life, has our genetics or has experienced what we have. Our body, our pace, and our thoughts are ours alone. Embrace who you are, how you look, and the outcome of today's run. You are a great and interesting addition to this earth. When running with others who are faster or attempting to run faster, NEVER say, "sorry, I'm slow." They are the ones who can adjust their pace down, you can only smile and they can enjoy your company if they choose to, or just let them go and savor the run you have been given on this day. Whenever I ask someone how their run or race went, more often than not, the answer is not positive, I cringe as they apologize for what they see as a failed effort instead of taking pride in their attempt. Don't be that person.
Be you,
Randy Step, an admitted obsessed runner who is obsessed with running, on my terms, and I love the way you run on your terms.

. . . There is Hitlerpornography. This is the lionization of the madman through recreation and, in this case, replication. Although this action (or aktion) figure is labled "war criminal" there is still an inescapable fetishistic rationale for its being in the marketplace. In Germany such iconography is outlawed, here it is absorbed into the morass of popular culture — and more, of toy culture. While it shouldn't be outlawed, it shouldn't have been made in the first place.
One thought on "And Speaking of Pornography . . ."
This is outrageous! Maybe they should also make a concentration camp victim doll in a striped suit with a yellow star of David, or how about a little crematorium set-up to burn other "inferior" dolls in real flames! Honestly, to glorify this sick monster with this (including a Nazi fashion ensemble!) is beyond belief. I can easily come up with 6,000,000 reasons to throw this in the trash. Anyone who would buy this doll should be ashamed.↓

Unique Utah Partnership Brings Ophthalmic Services to Trinidad-Tobago
Sep 7, 2012 1:00 PM
Guest post by Randall J Olson, M.D., Professor and Chair of the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences; CEO, John A. Moran Eye Center
Trinidad-Tobago sits off the Venezuelan coastline. It has a population of 1.2 million with its citizens earning a per capita income of $18,000—making this island the richest Caribbean country by far.
Thirty ophthalmologists serve the island through private practices for patients lucky enough to have private health insurance, but 70% of cataract patients are forced to seek treatment through the public sector. These patients must wait an average of four years to get treatment. The productivity in the public sector is unbelievably low. The major public clinic, the San Fernando Hospital, has seven ophthalmologists who performed 300 cataracts last year— that's less than one a week by each doctor.
To help solve the problem, the U.S. Army was asked to help. At a nearby base,
Major General Chang, U.S. Corp Chief Medical Officer, began looking for a strategic partner, leading him to Moran Eye Center. Our center is committed to the goal that no person with a blinding condition, eye disease or visual impairment should be without hope, understanding and treatment. With this in mind, we were happy to forge a partnership. Our immediate goal was to address the backlog of existing cataract patients. Our long term goals were to mentor the physicians at the San Fernando Hospital and create a regional center of excellence.
The ophthalmologists were motivated and excited to partner with us. To reach our goal of achieving a center of excellence, we needed to improve the following: increase their team of subspecialists, help modernize their residency, dramatically change their surgical efficiency and quality, and substantially increase the number of patients seen and treated.
To best showcase what we hope to accomplish, here are our main tasks:
- Help submit a plan for center expansion.
- Reorganize patient flow in both the clinic and operating rooms.
- Help with residency teaching material including all our recorded lectures, grand rounds, etc. I'd also like to get residents here for short rotations. The Ministry of Health can pay for all of this.
- Help with residency redesign to help modernize the rotation system.
- Help train more subspecialists. The next two major needs after nuero-opthalmology would be cornea and glaucoma.
- Run interference if the inertia of their bureaucracy tries to shut down this initiative.
We're excited to be a part of this endeavor and committed to the goal of ending blinding eye diseases throughout the world.
