Obama's health care law still facing court challenges
- The law is being implemented amid continuing legal battles
- A return trip to the high court a possibility
- Some states are complying, while others are resisting
WASHINGTON — President Obama's health care law isn't out of the legal woods yet.
Six months after surviving the Supreme Court by the slimmest of margins, the law still faces lower court challenges to its insurance purchasing mandates, tax penalties, Medicare cost controls, minimum coverage provisions and more.
The cases pose less of a threat to the law than the challenges mounted by 26 states and business organizations last spring. However, the justices' 5-4 ruling to uphold the law on narrow grounds indicated festering opposition both inside and outside the court. That makes a return trip to the high court a possibility in the future.
The latest indication came last month, when the court gave new life to a lawsuit filed by Liberty University in Virginia, a religious institution that objected to the employer and individual mandates for purchasing insurance. The school is one of many religious organizations that object to the inclusion of birth control among the benefits that must be covered.
About 40 lawsuits are challenging the contraception mandate on religious grounds. They come mostly from church-affiliated schools and hospitals opposed to abortion. While the Obama administration in February sought to exempt faith-based groups from having to provide the coverage directly, self-insured employers say they have little choice.
"This is a pressing question that needs to be addressed," says Mathew Staver, dean of the Liberty University School of Law. "It will be a historic clash between the free exercise of religion and a federal law."
Victory on that count could free religious groups that object to covering contraceptives from the law's minimum coverage requirement. The heart of the law — expanding affordable health coverage to millions of Americans and requiring most individuals and large employers to buy insurance — would stand.
Lawsuits that could threaten the entire law haven't advanced as far. Experts say they have less chance of reaching the Supreme Court and toppling Obama's signature domestic policy achievement.
"The cases that challenge the act seem unlikely to present issues that are worthy of Supreme Court review," says Robert Weiner, a former associate deputy attorney general who led the administration's defense of the health care law. "The tough challenges to the statute have been litigated already. The remaining ones are the leftovers."
Among the cases now in federal courts:
-- The Goldwater Institute, a conservative think tank and legal advocacy organization in Arizona, claims that the law's Independent Payment Advisory Board violates the Constitution's separation of powers clause.
The appointed board, which is designed to hold down Medicare costs, is not subject to congressional oversight or even "meaningful agency review," says Christina Sandefur, a lawyer with the institute.
The institute also contends that to avoid taxation, individuals have to buy insurance and thereby disclose medical information to insurers and the federal government. That represents an undue burden on liberty and privacy, Sandefur says.
-- A suit filed by the Pacific Legal Foundation, another conservative advocacy group, notes that the law only survived the Supreme Court because Chief Justice John Roberts said its penalties for not buying insurance were taxes. Tax laws, the group notes, must originate in the House, not the Senate.
The health care law was written in the Senate, but with a twist. Lawmakers took a House bill, stripped it of its title and all its provisions, and substituted the health care law.
"We've got to take what we have and attack it under whatever constitutional provision allows us to," says Paul Beard, a foundation attorney. If federal courts buy that argument, he says, "I think the whole thing would have to fall."
-- Oklahoma is challenging the way the law is being implemented. States that have refused to create their own health insurance exchanges, or markets, should not be subject to a provision that subjects employers of 50 or more workers to financial penalties if they don't provide insurance, Attorney General Scott Pruitt says.
The Internal Revenue Service issued that rule in May, even though the health care law specified only that states with their own insurance exchanges would be subject to the employer penalties. Pruitt says that's illegal unless Congress amends the law.
"This is not something that the states take lightly," Pruitt says. "I think people are for the first time saying, 'Wow, you mean there's a tax that's going to be assessed against employers?' "
The Obama administration, while monitoring all the lawsuits, is more focused on getting insurance purchasing exchanges created and expanding Medicaid coverage in the states. Some states are complying, while others are resisting.
"The Supreme Court has ruled, and the Affordable Care Act is the law of the land," says White House spokesman Nick Papas. "We remain 100 percent focused on implementing the law and are confident these remaining cases will be resolved in our favor."
But the legal wrangling won't go away soon. Randy Barnett, a Georgetown University law professor whose contention that the health care law was unconstitutional led to the original Supreme Court challenge, likens the bevy of new lawsuits to the idiom "in for a penny, in for a pound."
"I always thought that if you didn't take out the whole Affordable Care Act, there was then going to be legal issues having to do with parts of it," Barnett says. "Now the courts are in for a pound."

Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition 18
Project DescriptionA number of governmental agencies cooperatively conduct Japanese
Antarctic research under the name of the Japanese Antarctic
Research Expedition (JARE). All decisions and approval of
proposals for research activities rest with the Headquarters of
JARE under the chairmanship of the Minister of Education,
Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. The Secretariat of the
JARE Headquarters belongs to the Science and International
Affairs Bureau, Monbukagakusho. The task of NIPR is to operate
JARE both for scientific programs and logistics, except the
transportation of personnel and materials by the icebreaker
Shirase from Japan to Antarctica. Scientific programs at Syowa
Station cover the following fields: upper atmosphere physics,
meteorology, seismology, gravimetry, geodesy and cartography,
oceanography, glaciology, geology, geography, marine and
terrestrial biology, and medical research. Programs offered on
board the Shirase include the following subjects: ionosphere,
meteorology, geomagnetism, gravimetry, and physical, chemical
and biological oceanography. All Japanese scientific stations
in Antarctica belong to NIPR. Syowa Station, the mother station
of JARE, was established in January 1957, at 69?00'S and
39?35'E on East Ongul Island, Lutzow-Holm Bay, East
Antarctica. The total floor area of the buildings has increased
from 184m? (3 buildings) in 1957 to 5,930.5m? (48 buildings)
and other outdoor facilities in 2001. Mizuho Station was
established in July 1970 along the geomagnetic meridian passing
through Syowa Station. It is located on the inland ice sheet at
70?42'S and 44?20'E (2,230m above sea level), about 270km
southeast of Syowa. After intermittent occupation, a few
members maintained year-round operation from 1976 to 1986,
making observations on meteorology, glaciology, and upper
atmosphere physics. It has been closed since 1987 and is
occasionally visited by some parties for meteorological and
glaciological observations. Asuka Station was established in
December 1984 on the ice sheet north of the Sor-Rondane
Mountains, at 71?32'S and 24?08'E (930m above sea level). Most
of the station facilities of about 450m? in total floor area
have become buried under snow. The principal role of the
station is to support field work in geology, geomorphology,
meteorite searches, glaciology and biology in the Sor-Rondane
Mountains. However, year-round observations including
meteorology, glaciology, solid earth geophysics, and upper
atmosphere physics were conducted between 1987 to 1991. Since
1991, the station activities have been suspended. Dome Fuji
Station equipped with 8 buildings, 407m? in total, was
established in 1995 at 77?19'01"S and 39?42'12"E (3,810m above
sea level) for the deep drilling program and atmospheric
observations. In recent years, environmental protection of
Antarctica and its unique ecosystems has become increasingly
important in planning and conducting Antarctic research. In
accordance with the protocol on environmental protection in the
Antarctic Treaty, appropriate procedures for environmental
protection are followed in the Japanese Antarctic Research
Expeditions. A new program for monitoring changes in global
and regional environments and ecosystems was started at Syowa
Station and its coastal and inland vicinity in 1997. The
monitoring programs include major parameters of atmospheric
glaciological, solid geophysical and biological changes, such
as atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration, sea level,
population of penguins etc. Pollutants in seawater, ice or snow
and in animals, such as heavy metals and organic chlorinated
compounds derived from global and regional sources, are
occasionally measured. The monitoring of global environmental
change is an essential part of basic scientific programs as
described in the previous chapter.

"A Seat in Civil Rights History," an exhibit of Greyhound Bus posters celebrating Black History month, is on display through June 1, in the Diversity Studies Room, 203 Pattee Library on the University Park campus of Penn State. The exhibit is open during standard library hours. Call 814-865-3063 to confirm times.
From Rosa Parks quietly sitting in a bus' white section to the Freedom Rides by civil rights activists through the Deep South, buses have played an integral role in our country's struggle against racism. The Greyhound Bus Corp. celebrated some of its history by producing a series of annual posters in conjunction with Black History Month.
Beginning in 2000, Penn State's James Quigel, the head of historical collections and labor archives, in the Special Collections Library, noticed the posters hanging each February, in the Fullington/Greyhound Bus Station in State College, Pa. When he expressed interest in archiving the posters for the University Libraries collection, the Greyhound Bus Corporation in Dallas agreed and gave Penn State permission to use for University events commemorating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Black History Month.
This exhibit includes the seven posters comprising the Greyhound Bus Corporation, Celebrating Black History Month Poster Collection, in Historical Collections and Labor Archives, The Special Collections Library, Penn State. For more information, contact James Quigel at 814-863-3181.

text: Dr. Steward T.A. Pickett Plant Ecologist Share: August 31, 2008 In late summer, after a couple of rainy afternoons, I happened to see several huge mushrooms under a pine tree at the Cary Institute. Mushrooms can be a little deceptive because they appear so suddenly, often seemingly overnight. They are also deceptive because they are only a small part of a much larger organism, most of which remains hidden from view.Mushrooms are the fruiting bodies of certain fungi. Unlike the growth of most other organisms, mushrooms grow by pumping water into cells that are already formed. Because only water is required for the growth of the pre-formed cells, mushrooms can grow very fast. This is different from growth by cell division, which requires a lot of energy. Using water to pump up the mushroom explains why they make sudden, wet weather appearances.The fruiting bodies we see above ground are only a small part of the whole fungus. The body of the fungus consists of a network of almost microscopic threads that penetrate the soil, rotting wood, or other organic matter.The fungus obtains its nutrients and energy from organic matter. Fungi feed on organic matter from many sources. Some break down dead plant material, some attack living plants, others form beneficial partnerships with trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants.The hidden bodies of fungi can be quite large, in spite of the fact they are made of small threads of cells. Based on the area it covers, an individual Armellaria ostoyae fungus in Oregon's Malheur National Forest is said to be the largest organism in the world. It is estimated to cover 2200 acres and may be more than 2,000 years old.Fungi do important ecological work. One unique thing they do is break down wood into its component chemicals. Wood contains lignin, which is a remarkably difficult compound to decompose. Some fungi have the biochemical tools to digest lignin and convert it into simpler compounds and molecules that are then put back into circulation.Another special job some fungi perform results from a unique partnership with higher plants. Together, fungi and plant roots form a new structure - a mycorrhiza - that is very efficient at absorbing nutrients and water from the soil. Partner plants benefit from increased nutrients and a better water supply, while the fungus gets direct access to organic carbon, which it cannot make on its own. So fungi play an important role in the nutrient and carbon cycling machinery of ecosystems.Mushrooms appear from the body of a fungus when it has captured enough extra energy to form the fruiting structure and to produce millions of spores. Reproduction is an energetically expensive endeavor. Without sufficient energy stores generated by either their own photosynthesis, consuming other organisms, or a few other specialized chemical pathways, organisms cannot successfully reproduce. This is why mushrooms are not always present.Mushrooms also don't last long once they are produced. They appear, produce spores, release those tiny spores into the wind, and often wither away within days. One reason mushrooms must do their work quickly is that they are at risk of becoming high value food for insects, snails and vertebrates. Coming and going quickly may be a mechanism for mushrooms to avoid being found, eaten, or damaged before their precious cargo of spores is produced and shipped off.The poisonous nature of some mushrooms is also a likely defense against predators such as squirrels and chipmunks that would impair the reproductive output of the fungus. This protective mushroom poison is the reason why people must not eat wild mushrooms unless they are absolutely sure that they have a non-toxic one in hand.Next time you see a mushroom, consider the larger part of the organism you can't see, the struggle to protect and release spores that can carry on that organism's genetic legacy elsewhere, and the ecological work it represents.

Study: 90 Percent of Endangered Species Recovering on Time
Alaska's Bowhead Whales, Gray Whales, Steller Sea Lions Among Species Improving
Because of Endangered Species Act
WASHINGTON— A new Center for Biological Diversity analysis of 110 endangered species finds that 90 percent, including many in Alaska, are on track to meet recovery goals set by federal scientists. The review examined population trends of plants and animals protected by the Endangered Species Act in all 50 states, including Alaska's bowhead whales, gray whales, Aleutian Canada geese and Steller sea lions. Again and again, the analysis finds species on a positive trajectory toward recovery — and in some cases, exceeding expectations.
"There are Endangered Species Act success stories in every state in America, and Alaska's no exception," said Kieran Suckling, executive director of the Center. "No other law in the world has done so much to rescue species from the brink of extinction and put them on a path to recovery. Simply put, the Act has been remarkably successful."
The study analyzed population data for 110 species from the year each was placed on the endangered species list through 2011. Each species' actual population trend and trajectory was compared to the timeline for recovery set out in government recovery plans. Nearly all the animals and plants are recovering on time to meet federal goals.
The study's findings are similar to a 2006 Center analysis of all federally protected species in the Northeast, which found 93 percent were stabilized or improving since being put on the endangered species list and 82 percent were on pace to meet recovery goals.
"Some of Alaska's signature species, from bowhead whales to Arctic peregrine falcons, are on their way to recovery thanks to the Endangered Species Act," Suckling said.
Today's report, which relies on data from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and independent scientists, is a science-based rebuttal to attacks on the Act by critics like Rep. Doc Hastings (R-Wash.), chairman of the U.S. House Committee on Natural Resources, who claims the Act is "failing badly" because only 1 percent of species have been recovered. In fact, the report finds that 80 percent of species haven't been listed for long enough to reach their projected delisting date. On average, species have been protected for 32 years and have a typical expected recovery period of 46 years.
"Saving species from the brink of extinction — and bringing them back to a point where they're going to survive into the future — can't happen overnight," Suckling said. "Calling the Act at failure at this point is like throwing away a 10-day prescription of antibiotics on the third day and saying they don't work. It just makes no sense."
For full recovery profiles of the 110 species — and an interactive regional map — go to www.ESAsuccess.org.
Alaska Highlights
Aleutian Canada goose. Once nearly driven extinct by foxes introduced to their nesting islands in Alaska and by habitat destruction and hunting in California and Oregon, Aleutian Canada geese are today a clear success story. After a small population was found on a remote Alaskan island in the Aleutian chain, the goose was listed as an endangered species in 1967. Nonnative fox populations were controlled, nesting habitat was protected with the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge's creation in 1980, and wintering and migration habitat was protected in California and Oregon. The Aleutian Canada goose population grew from 790 birds in 1975 to more than 60,000 in 2005. It was downlisted to "threatened" in 1990, declared recovered and removed from the endangered list in 2001, seven years earlier than projected by its recovery plan.

Seeking Income: Exploring Europe's dividend culture
With investors increasingly turning their attention to income-generating equities, we explore some features of income investing in Europe as well as current opportunities.
- Europe is pereceived as a haven for income and growth investors
- Equity yields generally outpace bonds and cash
- Family owned firms offer steady stream of income opportunites
- Cyclical stocks favoured to benefit from European recovery
The lure of Europe's income providers
Continental Europe's equity market has long been a happy hunting ground for income seekers. The dividend culture is very different to that which you see in other markets.
It is often supposed than one can invest either for capital growth or for income, but it's not a binary decision in Europe and there are plenty of opportunities to invest in stocks that can offer both.
One of the great things about Europe is that you can obtain yield from almost any sector of the market, so there is a broad range of exposures we can take in order to generate income.
A family affair
Another difference between Europe and other markets is that founding families still hold significant stakes in many European companies and rely on dividends for their own income.
Companies where there is an influential shareholder reliant on the dividend stream are more likely to continue to pay out those dividends, even if the firm's financial metrics are somewhat stretched.
Even within equities, the best income opportunities currently may not lie in the most obvious places.
Companies without such a shareholder might be more inclined to shore up their finances rather than pay out or raise a dividend.
Clearly investors should exercise a degree of caution when investing in such firms but they can be a useful option for those seeking income.
Dividends are not the only means by which firms can return surplus cash to shareholders. Share buybacks are an ever-popular method, although more so in the US than in Europe.
Buyback or not to buyback?
This popularity in the US can be traced to several sources, including tax treatment and management incentives.
Dividends can be seen as preferable to buybacks for several reasons, not least as a signal of a company's confidence that it can afford an ongoing commitment to shareholders.
Investors also have the option of reinvesting their dividends in the firm if they wish.
Return to shareholders versus reinvestment
Over the past three years, we have noticed a shift in the way companies prioritise their use of cash, away from capital expenditure and merger & acquisitions (M&A) towards dividends and share buybacks.
Companies announcing more generous pay-outs to shareholders have typically been rewarded by the market and this has driven a snowball effect, with more companies jumping on the bandwagon.
We favour more cyclical opportunities, preferring stocks that can benefit from an improving economic picture in Europe.
Whilst that can be helpful in terms of reaching an income target, we believe that a recovery in capital expenditure would be a more meaningful driver of earnings and consequently of share price performance.
We therefore look for companies to target a balance between income returns today and investing in the company for tomorrow's returns.
There are indications that M&A is starting to pick up in Europe and capital investment should follow.
Traditional income options have lost their appeal
We said above that investors can find income in virtually any segment of the European stockmarket.
However, in years gone by, income investors might not have considered equities at all but would typically have left their capital in bond or money market funds.
That is not an option in today's world of low interest rates and low bond yields.
The dividend yields offered by European equities currently far exceed the returns available from bonds or money markets. Investors seeking income now have little alternative but to turn to equities.
Beware of income that comes at a cost
Even within equities, the best income opportunities currently may not lie in the most obvious places.
Classic, 'safe' income stocks such as food groups have in recent years become expensive as investors sought out alternative sources of income to bonds.
Many such companies are also enjoying high levels of profitability, begging the question as to whether there is scope for further profit or share price improvement, particularly as investors may move out of these stocks as bond yields rise.
Stocks that are likely to benefit from rising bond yields – such as insurers – may be a more attractive option.
Meanwhile, in contrast to the 'safe' income stocks, much of the European equities space is currently experiencing depressed profits, implying high potential for recovery and the possibility of raising dividends as profit growth comes through.
As a result, we favour more cyclical opportunities, preferring stocks that can benefit from an improving economic picture in Europe.

Which countries are you interested in? I don't want to rain on your parade, but it's a risky idea.
English Teacher
Hi everyone
I recently set up a service offering one to one and small group business and general English classes to students. However, I'm finding it a challenge promoting and obtaining students abroad.
I understand there are language agents who assist in promoting schools services, but most of them are working with accredited schools. As a new service mine does not fall into that category.
Does anyone have any bright ideas about how I could lure either business people or students to my centre?
Also if anyone knows how I can contact language agents I'd be most grateful.
Many thanks for your help.
Which countries are you interested in? I don't want to rain on your parade, but it's a risky idea.
You should first decide in which countries you would like to market your services. Then you should investigate whether government subsidies exist for students. In Germany for instance, it is good to have your school registered for "Bildungsulaub" (please look the word up in Leo or something)
The above would give you a very strong advantage in getting your school promoted under a countries government schemes, most of which offer free publicity to, and have distributed lists of registered schools.
The internet is also a wonderful promotion tool if used correctly.
Another successful way is to contact a school or schools in the country of your choice and get that school to partner with you.
All this naturally if I have understood your question correctly.
OnlineEnglish Europe - TOEIC Preparation - Préparation au TOEIC TOEIC preparation Online.
Is this still risky?
I have a website for the centre. Is there anywhere specifically that it should be visible, any particular directories etc ?
If I ask a school to partner with mine, does that mean I need to send them students from here? Is that how it works?
By the way what is Leo and where do I obtain it?
Eternally grateful for your help.
Website- Submit it to standard directories like Dmoz and Yahoo, though this can take ages. Get your site in some ESL directories and sites. You can browse here: ESL Web Directory especially Web Guides - ESL Web Directory - UsingEnglish.com You can also submit your site here: ESL Web Directory: Add a Link
As you're just starting in the business, you are in a fragile position in many ways, so I advise great caution and getting a lawyer before entering into any international deals.
Leo- a German/English dictionary online: LEO Deutsch-Englisches Wörterbuch
What kind of service can you provide.
Are you able to send your English teachers abroad. let's ignore the VISA process. Or you only want students to your school?
Thanks for your response. I'm actually very willing to travel abroad to students as are my teachers. I offer one-to-one and small groups (max 4 students) general and business English.
I'm open to all offers of getting students, whether it's in this country or going abroad.

Many men with metastatic, hormone-sensitive prostate cancer live longer on continuous androgen-deprivation therapy (also known as hormone therapy) than on intermittent therapy, according to a 17-year study led by SWOG, a cancer research cooperative group funded by the National Cancer Institute.
Men with newly diagnosed metastatic prostate cancer are usually either surgically castrated or given medications to suppress the production of male hormones that drive their cancer. The treatment can help keep the disease at bay temporarily, but in the majority of patients the cancer will relapse and contribute to the patient's death.
Surgical castration is permanent but "medical castration" provides men the potential advantage of receiving therapy intermittently. A halt in this therapy is followed in time by a rise in testosterone levels. Scientific data suggested that intermittent treatment may delay the cancer relapse, and that the rise in testosterone may result in an improvement in the patient's quality of life.
These data provided the rationale for the phase III clinical trial SWOG-9346, the largest such study to date in men with metastatic, hormone-sensitive disease. Results of this study demonstrate that intermittent androgen-deprivation (AD) therapy is not as good as continuous hormone therapy with regard to patient longevity.
The findings are to be presented today at the plenary session of the American Society for Clinical Oncology's annual meeting by the study's principal investigator, Maha Hussain, M.D., F.A.C.P., associate director of clinical research at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center.
"Based on these results," Hussain says, "we can conclude that intermittent AD is not as effective as continuous AD in men with metastatic prostate cancer."
Clinical researchers from the SWOG network, with funding from the NCI, led an international team in conducting the study at more than 500 sites, enrolling 3,040 men with hormone-sensitive, metastatic prostate cancer between 1995 and 2008.
All men got an initial course of androgen-deprivation treatment for seven months. The 1,535 eligible men whose prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level dropped to 4 ng/mL or less by the end of those seven months were then assigned at random to stop therapy (the intermittent therapy group) or continue therapy (the continuous therapy group).
Those randomized to the intermittent therapy arm had their treatment suspended until their PSA rose to a predetermined level, at which time they started another seven-month course of androgen-deprivation therapy, cycling on and off therapy in this way as long as their PSA levels continued to respond appropriately during the "on" cycle.
Men on continuous therapy had a median overall survival time of 5.8 years from the time of randomization, with 29 percent of these men surviving at least 10 years. Those on intermittent therapy had a median overall survival time of 5.1 years, with 23 percent surviving at least 10 years from the time they were randomly assigned to a treatment arm.
The researchers found, in additional analyses, that men with "minimal disease" (disease that had not spread beyond the lymph nodes or the bones of the spine or pelvis) did significantly better on continuous therapy, while men with "extensive disease" (disease that had spread beyond the spine pelvis, and lymph nodes or to the lungs or liver) seemed to do about as well using either treatment approach.
Additional analyses indicated that the median overall survival time for those with minimal disease was 7.1 years on continuous androgen-deprivation therapy compared to only 5.2 years on intermittent treatment. Patients with extensive disease had median overall survival times of 4.4 years on continuous therapy and 5.0 years on intermittent therapy.
"In the past when it came to using hormone therapy in this disease, doctors viewed the disease as one entity and adopted a 'one size fits all' approach. Based on this study's findings, it seems that one size does not necessarily fit all," says Hussain, professor of internal medicine and urology at the U-M Medical School.
Trial researchers also compared quality-of-life measures across the two study arms during the first 15 months following patient randomization, including measures of sexual function (impotence and libido), physical and emotional function, and energy level. They found improved sexual function in men who received intermittent therapy as compared to those on continuous therapy. A second presentation at an ASCO Poster Discussion session reports on these preliminary quality-of-life findings from SWOG-9346 (Abstract #4571, CM Moinpour, DL Berry, et al).
"Though we see potential quality-of-life benefits with IAD," Hussain says, "from a medical perspective, the primary findings of the study demonstrating that IAD is inferior with regard to overall survival should be the primary consideration in counseling all patients who are interested in intermittent therapy and particularly those with minimal disease."
In brief: 1,535 men with metastatic, hormone-sensitive prostate cancer were randomized to intermittent androgen-deprivation (AD) therapy or continuous AD therapy after seven months of androgen deprivation.
• When overall survival times were compared, intermittent AD was inferior to continuous AD.
• For the subset of patients with minimal disease, continuous AD was superior to intermittent AD.
• For patients with extensive disease, overall survival was comparable between intermittent and continuous AD.
• A number of quality-of-life measures got higher scores in the intermittent AD arm than the continuous AD arm.
Prostate cancer statistics: More than 240,000 men in the United States will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2012, according to the American Cancer Society, and more than 28,000 will die of the disease.

Photo Gallery | PHOTOS: 2nd Annual Celebration of Literacy a Huge Hit!
Sacramento READS! celebrated the beginning of its second year with a fun-filled free event at Fairytale town Thursday.The literary program hosted the event to inspire kids to read. Attendees participated in lots of reading-relevant activities and had the opportunity to win educational prizes. The gala brought together lots of partnerships, support and attendees, too.
Mayor Kevin Johnson, who launched Sacramento READS! in August 2011, was present, and so was News10.
Our meteorologist Monica Woods broadcasted the weather live, and we also had a booth.
The News10 'mock studio' allowed kids to get in front of the camera and share their experiences in reading. And, these PSAs could possibly make air. Kids were also offered Reading Connect pencils and customized bookmarks with tassels.
Sacramento READS! is a ten-year initiative with a vision of making Sacramento the first city in the country to have every third grader reading on grade level by the end of third grade. The campaign focuses on three main goals, school readiness, school attendance, and summer learning loss.
Reading Connects is a News10 campaign to promote literacy in our community. Those interested in learning more about this, should check out the Reading Connects page on news10.net.

While this blog is intended to be totally job-related, this post will be unusual in that it will be a little bit personal. And indeed, this post is about the mix of work and non-work life.
A little more than half a year ago I started my life as a part-time mathematician. To be more precise, I am in Elternzeit, which is the German framework for parental leave. According to German law, parents have several rights related to their work when they get kids. One of them is to reduce their weekly hours of work when they have small children and this is what I did: For one year I reduced my weekly hours of work to 50%. The reason for the reduction is that my wife has a very busy year of work (for those who know: she is in her "Referendariat" to become a teacher – but I am not going to rant about the German Referendariat for teachers here…). There is also Elterngeld is Germany: That is, that you get some fraction of your salary if you stay at home to be with your kids, but this only applies in the first 14 months but my kids are older and hence, I just get about half the salary during the Elternzeit. But one of the first things I learned was that this is not totally true. In fact, my "parental-leave"-salary is higher than half of my usual salary. This has two reasons: First, there is "income-tax-progression" here, that is, for more salary, you pay a higher tax rate. Second, some parts of my salary are bonuses which are not halved.
Besides the financial issues there are other things about parental leave as a mathematician at a university which I find interesting and worth blogging about. I divided these issues into two parts: work-related and family related.
1. Work life
In this year of parental leave I am in my office for about four hours a day. I go there, when the kids are in school and at day-care and I leave early enough to prepare lunch for our schoolgirl. Four hours a day is not much and indeed, I get much less things done, than I used to do. But that was totally expected. To counteract a bit, I do a little less reviewing papers. Moreover, my teaching duties are halved. And also, blogging is a little bit reduced. But anyway, I do not make it to get all the things done, that I would like to. However, this is not much different from how it used to be. And with even less time, I get better in prioritizing.
But more important than the mere reduction of time for work is the fact that I am not able to be in the office in the afternoon, and I am not able to make appointments or to attend meetings in the afternoon. This does influence my daily work to some extend. While all my colleagues know that I am on part-time (and, as far as I experience, have no objections to that), they usually do not have it in mind when they make dates. If I am lucky, dates are found with doodle, and then it's easy for me, but I have to remind people that I do not have time in the afternoon frequently. Moreover, some regular meetings are scheduled for the afternoon by default and I just miss them. Finally, there are exceptional dates (e.g. the ones related with job interviews and negotiations on which I have written here and here). In these cases, I also mentioned my limited possibilities for meetings and the severe restrictions. For the job interviews I even asked for a video-interview, but that did not work out. On one occasion, they tried to schedule my job interview for the weekend (which would be easier to arrange for me) but some members of the committee objected due to family reasons – which is totally OK in my opinion. For the negotiations, I tried to have them during school holidays but this did not work out either. Hence, we had to arrange additional child care (our children have four grand parents and always some of them could step in – what I didn't try was, to get reimbursed for the train tickets for the grandmas; I think this would be reasonable but would cause serious irritation in the administration).
Another severe change in my work-life is that I can not attend conferences and meetings with the only exception when they are during school holidays. Here we arranged holidays of the kids at their grandparents and this way I could attend some nice meetings this year.
2. Family life
In my parental leave my wife and I changed roles. It is not that I did not care about family life, household and such when I was working full-time but still, I was working full-time and my wife was working half-time or less. Since she has to work a LOT, I am in charge of everything here at home now. But, as before, it is not that she is not doing anything in that respect, but the important thing is that I am in charge. And that makes more of a difference than I anticipated. The pure amount of work doing shopping, cooking, cleaning and so on is OK because I have the time to do so (although – it is work nonetheless). But to be in charge is a bit more. Especially, if there is something to be done, I can not say "Let's wait for one day, maybe it will be done by the time…". If I will not do it, nobody will (again: Not totally true, but this is the way of thinking which I employ). Moreover, there are some things which come with being "house husband" which did not come to my mind when I planned my part time year: organizing children's birthday parties, arranging new afternoon activities and weekend activities or trips, taking care of seasonal decoration, thinking of Christmas presents early enough or arranging routine medical check-ups on time are just a few of them. All this is also not hard, but harder than I thought, when you are in charge.
In total, all this role change and house-keeping is a very refreshing experience. Being a house husband is not something be scared of. It is rewarding, it's mostly fun, it's a lot of work and it is quite some responsibility.
As a final remark, I think, that this year of my parental leave does also mean something for our children. Seeing that dad is at home and being the one which is always there, and that both parents can do this job and that, the other way round, mom is at work most of the day, comes home late and needs rest and such, is an experience for them which shows them that there are different ways to organize a family. It probably also influences them in the way they see gender roles.
In conclusion: If you think about staying at home for kids and the laws of your country give you the opportunity to do so, then I can recommend it. Even being fully in charge and with a full-time working wife – probably even more so.

We all have our ways of dealing with it, some slam their heads repeatedly into their keyboards, others just crank up the creative output and make "we need to remove the babies ear", "Irish people can't read italics", and the ever present "Make it pop" look good. "They" you say, who is "they"? The idea was brought to you by Mark and Paddy. If they ever leave the office, y'all should buy them a pint. This wasn't just an exercise in showing off ones font-collection, there was an exhibition in Dublin the A3 posters were sold, all in aid of Temple Street Children's Hospital. One can harness pent up anger and frustration for good things!
These are a little TOO hilarious...thanks for posting...unfortunately a lot of these statements could have been made by account executives merely repeating what clients have told them. Bad Account Management leads to bad creative. http://admajoremblog.blogspot.com/2012/11/account-management-at-crossroads-iii.html
Aw they cute. http://sharpsuits.net/Solutionise I have never heard that kind of word soup.

Top 10 Most Popular Car Reviews Of 2012
Each year we review dozens of new cars, encompassing everything from the cheapest subcompacts to the most powerful supercars. This year was no different, as our staff spread out across the globe to drive brand-new cars, updated cars, and occasionally cars that hadn't changed at all for several years. Some car reviews proved more popular than others, as evidenced by this list of the top 10 most popular new-car reviews we published in 2012.
The 2013 Hyundai Genesis coupe enjoyed several important powertrain tweaks. The 2.0-liter turbo-four engine saw output climb from 210 hp to 274 hp, the 3.8-liter V-6 gained direct injection to bump power from 306 hp to 348 hp, and an eight-speed automatic transmission replaced the old five- and six-speeds. The result, along with new fascias and front dampers, is the Genesis remains a competent and exciting sports coupe, yet it still lacks the nuance and precision of other entries in its segment.
"It's the four-cylinder Genesis that has benefitted the most from this mid-cycle freshening. The engine can still be a little raspy if you really cane it, but in normal daily driving, it's now quite an agreeable powertrain. Shifts are quick and precise, and the steady stream of torque from 2000 to 4500 rpm makes it easy to dart through traffic, accelerate down on-ramps, and ascend through the mountainous roads leading west out of Vegas without having to crank the stereo to mask engine noise…The Genesis still understeers resolutely in tight turns, so you learn to back off the throttle and feather the car through. Bigger, wider corners are far more fun: the limited-slip rear diff comes beautifully into play, and you might start imagining yourself as a skilled drifter. Or not." --Joe DeMatio
The previous Nissan Altima was one of the best-selling cars in the nation, so the 2013 model received only mild changes. It's a little larger, a little more fuel efficient, and has more equipment like standard push-button start and a clever camera with lane-departure and blind-spot warnings. The styling hasn't change much inside or out, but comfortable seats and a generous amount of cabin and cargo space should keep the Altima's appeal high.
"Back-road prowess generally isn't a primary purchase consideration for mid-size sedans, but at least the Altima's chassis is capable of hustling when it has to. In fact, the only place it really disappoints is in its looks. Nissan's goal was to "advance the segment's styling," but the Altima does no such thing. The exterior is a collection of disparate design cues, none of which match the others or come across as particularly original." -- Jason Cammisa
8. 2013 Audi Q5
Audi updated the Q5 crossover with a new smooth, refined hybrid powertrain, as well as a supercharged V-6. Otherwise, the car received only minor tweaks for the 2013, including electric power steering, a new grille and new rear bumper, new headlights, and an updated infotainment system with Google Maps and a Wi-Fi hotspot function. For 2014, the Q5 will also gain a 3.0-liter TDI V-6.
"The big news is that Audi is bringing to the United States the hybrid powertrain that debuted in the Q5 last year in Europe. It pairs the 211-hp 2.0-liter TFSI turbo four-cylinder -- which carries over as the base engine -- with a 40 kW electric motor… Audi's midsize crossover seems poised for continued sales success, even if buyers' powertrain decision is about to get more difficult." -- Joe Lorio
The popular Lexus ES was dramatically revised for the 2013 model year. For starters, it switched from the Toyota Camry to the larger Avalon platform, giving it more interior room. And the styling has ditched its dull late-90s aesthetic for a modern, wind-cheating look that better matches the rest of the Lexus lineup. The standard V-6 model is a powerful, smooth operator; the new hybrid version borrows its gas-electric powertrain from the Camry and is less exciting to drive, but an important model for fuel-conscious Lexus.
"While the ES aesthetic has been rebooted with the 2013 model, the driving experience hasn't changed substantially. This is still the comfortable, nicely appointed, affordable luxury car it has always been. The ES's humble roots leave little room for massaging the car into a performer to match the brand's aspirations. We have no doubt that the ES will continue to contribute generously to Lexus's bottom line." -- Eric Tingwall
We had long anticipated the 2013 Ford Focus ST for two reasons: not only is it the first Ford hot hatch in the States since 2004, the ST also promised to take on the mighty Volkswagen GTI at its own game. The Ford makes a strong case for itself thanks to a punchy 2.0-liter turbo-four engine, eager handling, aggressive spoilers and wings, and snug Recaro seats. It's perhaps not the perfect hot hatchback, but the Focus ST sure is a lot of fun to drive.
"It also is a rapid machine. On dry blacktop, the ever-eager compact will zip in 6.5 seconds from 0 to 62 mph and on to a maximum of 155 mph…The Ford ST is not exactly a world-beater in terms of refinement, handling balance, or ergonomics. But it does offer a lot of car and performance for the money, it scores an undisputed ten on the entertainment scale, and it won't fall apart when pushed to the limit. All that distances the high-performance Focus from real greatness is some fine-tuning." --Georg Kacher
The first version of the Acura RDX was a bit too sporty to appeal to mainstream customers, so even though the 2013 RDX is less impressive as an entry-luxury crossover, it's a better vehicle overall. A tamer, more refined V-6 engine with better fuel economy; a better all-wheel-drive system; and a new noise cancellation system impressed us and give the 2013 Acura RDX a more well-rounded feeling.
"Do we, as enthusiasts, miss the snort of the turbocharged four-cylinder, or the way the SH-AWD system allowed the RDX's rear to rotate into tight corners? Perhaps -- but the vast majority of shoppers in this segment won't. Instead, they'll find Acura finally has a stylish, sophisticated crossover that drives as nicely as it looks -- or, put another way, one that finally competes head on the big boys." -- Evan McCausland
We admired the tightened styling and more dramatic interior of the 2012 BMW 335i, but kept wondering whether buyers would be just as happy with the 328i. Certainly in a straight line there is little separating the two versions of BMW's sports sedan, but it's the difference in the engines' natures that helps better distinguish them. Despite lackluster steering, the 335i impressed with its eager handling and broad, sonorous torque curve.
"As you turn into corners, [steering] effort builds somewhat naturally (more so in the car's sport modes, which reduce steering assistance), but at no point will you feel through your hands what the front tires are doing -- you'll need your butt for that….Still, the 335i acquits itself surprisingly well on a race track, with great body control, lots of grip, and brakes that are easily up to the task -- even at Laguna Seca, a track notoriously hard on brakes." -- Jason Cammisa
The 2013 Ford Mustang received a long list of minor updates, beginning with a new front fascia and LED taillights, and culminating with a wider available of performance packages on cheaper cars. The result was a fresher pony car that would allow buyers to get racy options like Recaro seats and Brembo brakes even on, say, an automatic convertible. While the overall changes weren't dramatic, the 2013 Ford Mustang remains a reliably entertaining and reasonably affordable sports car.
"Though it's nigh on impossible to discern a two-percent power increase, the V-8 engine in a manual-transmission test car was just as strong and flexible as we remembered. The Mustang ripped through each gear with ease, hurtling toward and past the speed limit in seconds -- and frequently triggering the traction-control light on rain-slicked roads outside Portland, Oregon." -- Jake Holmes
When we first drove the original Ford Escape back in 2000, we quickly christened it the new gold standard of small SUVs, owing to its wonderful driving dynamics. But the Escape was left mostly unchanged until last year, when Ford finally introduced the all-new 2013 model. Blessed with modern, aggressive styling; a pair of fuel-scrimping turbocharged engines; and a host of new infotainment features, Joe DeMatio found plenty to like about the new Escape. He applauded the smart interior, comfortable ride, and gutsy turbo engines.
"The completely redone 2013 Escape is certainly capable of filling its predecessor's big shoes, partly because it's based on Ford's excellent global C1 platform, which also underpins the Focus. So the basic ingredients of good driving dynamics -- crisp and precise steering, responsive, smooth and energetic engines, and a chassis tuned equally for athleticism and comfort -- are present and accounted for." -- Joe DeMatio
The 2013 Porsche Boxster wasn't simply an updated version of the roadster, but an all-new car with more muscular styling, more powerful engines, and a switch to electric power steering. Even though he criticized the new steering setup for offering less of the "crackly" communication of the old car, Ben Barry called the 2013 Porsche Boxster "a truly sensational sports car."
"The Boxster is still a very connected, very visceral drive, no matter what all the improvements to ride quality and refinement might lead you to expect. We're left unsupervised on the track for a couple of hours and, frankly, it's gut-wrenching to hand back the keys." -- Ben Barry

Yesterday's fight video was so operatic in scale and intensity of emotion that we figured we'd give it the soundtrack it deserves.
I refer of course to Mozart's Marriage of Figaro. Frankly, you haven't lived until you've seen a woman throw a plastic restaurant high-chair at another woman for reasons that still remain extremely unclear, set to the swelling strings of a long-deceased Viennese party boy.

Video shows McLaren MP4-12C Spider in actionThu, 12 Jul 2012 00:00:00 -0700
While McLaren Automotive revealed the new MP4-12C Spider on July 3, there was a noticeable lack of "in-motion" film that automotive enthusiasts often crave.
Well, hold your breath no longer. The wait is over.
Put together by McLaren Automotive, this short video has all of the goodness of an automotive manufacturer that has its roots in Formula One.
Watch the car as it drops the top while in motion, a conversion from coupe to roadster that takes 17 seconds.
Also, there is plenty of engine noise and squealing tires to spice up this video.

In late February of 1990, just two weeks after being released from prison, Nelson Mandela met with Palestine Liberation Organization Chairman Yasir Arafat. Afterwards Mandela spoke publicly of his affinity with the Palestinian people and his support for their struggle. He described the parallels between the two peoples' struggles for justice, saying in part.
"There are many similarities between our struggle and that of the PLO. We live under a unique form of colonialism in South Africa, as well as in Israel..."
That was 1990, when it was taboo in the U.S. to have any contact with the PLO. Because Americans had a double standard when it came to addressing Palestinian rights and/or had been cowed into silence about Israeli behavior, many were shocked that Mandela would not only praise the PLO but would also compare the Palestinian struggle against colonization and occupation with the campaign against apartheid. But Mandela would not be silenced. The man stood firm reminding those who questioned him that the PLO had always been an ally of his African National Congress (ANC), while Israel had been an ally and arms' supplier to the South African apartheid regime. At one point he said "Our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians." For supporters of Palestinian rights, all of this was exhilarating and validating.
I was so moved by Mandela's courage and his commitment to speak the truth about Palestinians that I made a poster commemorating the Mandela-Arafat embrace including an excerpt of his words.
I met Nelson Mandela a few times. On one occasion, he told me how thankful he continued to be for the early support Algeria and Egypt had provided to the ANC and to him personally. On another, in 1991, I remembered to bring a copy of the poster and asked him to sign it. He looked at it, smiled and said about Arafat "he is a friend and a good man."
Four years later I remembered to bring the poster to Arafat asking him to sign it.
That poster has hung in my office for more than two decades as a reminder of the real Mandela -- the brave and always honest fighter for justice and of his strong support for the Palestinian people.

Year: 1999
Type: National Reports
Region: Asia and the Pacific
Country: Tuvalu
Currently, most effective responses to HIV/AIDS have been community and national driven. Now it has become apparent that people play a key role as individuals and as members of social systems such as families in effectively responding to the HIV/AIDS pandemic. As such the Report will focus on enhancing the capacity of households to fight HIV/AIDS at the household level. In analysing household capacity in the context of HIV/AIDS, the Report will address the following issues: Information, knowledge and practices of the households in relation to causes of HIV/AIDS and prevention; Gender roles; Social capital; Creating a conducive physical environment for chronically ill AIDS patients; Provision of adequate nutrition; Access to treatment; Economic status of the households and Care and support to OVC.
Qatar's first NDHR offers a study of the state of HD in the country and identifies a number of challenges for the future. Some of the problems are of an economic nature such as the reliance of economic growth on oil prices, a weak private sector to lead development and the demographic issue of a small national population and low economic participation by this population. Other problems are linked to the need to upgrade potentials in the field of education and training, lack of growth of the civil society and the role of democracy as an effective system in public life. The report offers a set of policies to address these challenges in each sector within an integrated framework and comprehensive developmental perspective.
The report proposes a "three-dimensional" LHDI, which reflects the philosophy of the global HDI. The LHDI differs from the HDI in the particular sub-indices used and in the different measurements available in public statistics or administrative sources. Authors propose also a group of additional context indicators which reflect other important dimensions of Human Development (HD) on the local Polish level. The methodology used captures regional disparities. The analysis shows that the territorial disaggregation of the HDI does not boil down to a simple recalculation of the same data at a lower territorial unit in order to receive a territorial unit ranking. Instead, the approach takes into consideration the human development trade-offs
