Obviously as with any surgery, the risk is there but being on the table for 1.5 - 3 hours makes it a bit worse, even with all the super-close monitoring. My point is that, had he not had complications from the TPLO, he would still be alive.
Again, it's one in how may surgeries - they do orthopedic surgeries day in day out, and I'd never heard of such a case, but it happens.
Oh and from another clinic we saw a modified FLO that failed - different technique implying implants and other hardware - the knee was just dangling. Still done by a certified surgeon. Complications happen.

Nelson no longer Ozen's head coach
Weeks after being suspended by the University Interscholastic League for two non-district games in the upcoming 2013 high school football season, Jeff Nelson is no longer the football coach at Ozen High School.
Sources confirmed on Feb. 20 that Nelson was no longer the head football coach at Ozen and was being reassigned. Calls were placed to the Beaumont Independent School District administration office and athletic department, but they were not returned.
It's been an interesting tenure for Nelson. In 2011, the Panthers finished 7-6 and went three rounds deep into the Class 4A Division II playoffs, losing to La Marque, 18-6. But the game ended with a nasty fight on the field. It was then the UIL placed the Ozen program on two years probation and then in January, the UIL suspended Nelson from the first two non-district games of 2013 for "improperly practicing during the school day," saying he violated the two-year probation and extended the probation period through January 2016.
Nelson was hired in 2009 and became the fifth coach in the school's 12-year history. Nelson came over from West Brook where he was an assistant for Craig Stump. Nelson, who played college football at Texas A&M, went 16-28 in four seasons at Ozen, which included last season's 4-7 team that lost in the first round of the playoffs to Crosby. The Panthers did capture the Beaumont Bowl Trophy last season, defeating city rivals Central and West Brook.
Ozen is now one of two BISD schools without a football coach. Central will also be hiring a head coach as Andrew Washington was reassigned after going 22-23 in four seasons.

Some housekeeping, storing, positioning and, perhaps, planning the acquisition of new equipment?

Joe Dahlby and Earl Speckman have been planning the trip for three years.
Two Bemidji men plan to hitch a pair of mules to a covered wagon this month and take a 340-mile trek to Iowa to raise money for hospice programs.
A Bemidji Pioneer report (http://bit.ly/10FskHG ) says Joe Dahlby and Earl Speckman have been planning the trip for three years. They'll head for Dahlby's tiny hometown of Joice, Iowa.
The mule power will be provided by 4-year-old Rufus and 5-year-old Rowdy. Dahlby says they can be unforgiving but they're lovely animals.
They plan to take back roads as much as possible to avoid traffic. They're asking for pledges to support hospice care.
Dahlby is a former hospital executive. He says it's a high calling to care for people at the end of life and make sure they can have a good death.

Which, in the larger scheme of things, > doesn't do much to their bottom line. Far less than 1% motion on their P&L. "working correctly" is, as you point out, difficult to prove (proving a negative versus "so far so good".) the real issue here is several-fold: 1. the markup is vastly more than $1/drive. I don't know Dell prices as well as another vendor where the markup is O(300%) (es.2 750G 408 $Cdn after public-sector discount, versus $135 from newegg.ca. ironically Seagate's warranty on this is 5 years; the vendor's is 1 year...) 2. big-name vendors are incredibly slow on their feet: usually lagging at least one whole disk generation. I understand that the bigger the supply chain, the more momentum and reluctance to stock new products. and testing takes time, but this is a huge disadvantage to customers - especially in a domain like storage which is on as steep price-performance curve as GPUs. 3. the main issue is still whether it's defensible to cripple a controller to refuse to interact with products that don't come through the vendor's supply chain (even if identical in make, model, fw rev) (yes, vendor-specific fw is a way to wiggle out of this...) > balance sheet is drastically negatively impacted by support issues ... yeah, > you are going to do all you can to minimize this liability side. You can't > impact the drive costs much, but by careful selection of drive units you sure > can reduce your support liabilities. I'm curious: you imply that vendors have no recourse to force the _disk_ vendors to supply parts which work right (as defined by standard). is that really true? I'd be surprised if Dell doesn't get pretty emphatic cooperation from their disk vendor(s). >> make itself more neutral in this exercise by just naming one or more >> compatible, validated drive-models rather than trying to sell those >> themselves after re-branding. That creates an obvious conflict of > > They do make margin on drives. If you object, you can always buy the unit > bare, and perform your own validation. Which means you buy your own test > drives, and spend your own time and effort to do this. Which means spending > your own money to do this. the fact is that disks are incredibly cheap and getting moreso. sure, replacing a bunch of them is noticable, but as a fraction of the the systems they support, they're a pittance. even as a fraction of the storage subsystem, they're very small (reading off the same public-sector price-list, I see a 10 TB SATA-based storage system for over $30k - that's not a premium product from this vendor and I can't see any way that the disks would cost more than $5k.) I think the real paradigm shift is that disks have become a consumable which you want to be able to replace in 1-2 product generations (2-3 years). along with this, disks just aren't that important, individually - even something _huge_ like seagate's firmware problem, for instance, only drove up random failures, no? but it also begs the question: what's really so different about disks? is the disk protocol really that much more subtle and prone to problems than, say, PCI-E? > Support costs money, and they are seeking to keep those costs under control. sure, the free market is all about finding ways to make money; that doesn't imply that customers, the market and the society as a whole has to permit every possible way ;) >> interest. It makes it difficult to deconvolute monopoly-pricing from a >> genuine desire to promote reliability. > > Hmmm .... Dell only has a monopoly if you let them. If you want to buy > servers from other companies, by all means, buy them from other companies. few markets are free; any individual purchasing decision is almost certainly under a massive market asymmetry. no project/consortium/university can actually require change in policy from an entity as large as Dell/HP/IBM/etc. > Many universities I am aware of have signed agreements with Dell, HP, Sun, > etc to buy exclusively from them.

My old research group used to write sole source memos for > every purchase, so that we could get what we wanted, and not what our > purchasing department wanted to buy. right, but did you succeed in changing how BigCo handles its supply chain? >> I'm not sure how much of a price markup there is on the approved Dell >> drives. > > You should be able to calculate it by configuring units with various numbers > of drives. many vendors also publish price lists (though the cost will be different when calculated these two ways.)

This is a three-credit graded course. It is taken concurrently with a field placement in a non-profit or governmental organization, or a private law firm doing pro-bono work. In this course, we will explore the meaning of being a lawyer and a member of the legal profession. We will think about the variety of roles that lawyers may have and the wide range of practice experiences available to persons with law degrees. One of the goals of the course is to broaden your understanding of what it means to be a lawyer and increase your understanding of the possibilities given your career goals and values. I hope to accomplish this goal by our readings and discussing the lives of lawyers in a variety of settings. We will learn to set and achieve goals for your externship and how to learn from supervision. We will do role playing to develop your skills in these areas. We will focus on the issues raised in your field placement including ethical, bias, and interaction issues with clients, lawyers, supervisors, the courts and administrative agencies or legislative bodies.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pomerantz Grossman Hufford Dahlstrom & Gross LLP has filed a class action lawsuit against magicJack VocalTec Ltd., ("magicJack" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:CALL) and certain of its officers. The class action filed, in United States District Court, Southern District of New York, and docketed under 13-CV-0448, is on behalf of a class consisting of all persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired securities of magicJack between February 28, 2012 and January 8, 2013, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"). This class action seeks to recover damages against the Company and certain of its officers and directors as a result of alleged violations of the federal securities laws pursuant to Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.
If you are a shareholder who purchased magicJack securities during the Class Period, you have until March 19, 2013 to ask the Court to appoint you as Lead Plaintiff for the class. A copy of the Complaint can be obtained at www.pomerantzlaw.com. To discuss this action, contact Robert S. Willoughby at email@example.com or 888.476.6529 (or 888.4-POMLAW), toll free, x237. Those who inquire by e-mail are encouraged to include their mailing address and telephone number.
magicJack provides voice-over-Internet-protocol telephone services. The Company develops and markets computer software and hardware for making telephone calls over the Internet.
Throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operational and compliance policies. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) the Company overstated revenue, earnings and cash flow in its SEC filings; (ii) the Company overstated its cash balance by investing its shareholder cash in highly aggressive and unconventional securities; (iii) the Company overstated its earnings by inconsistently treating its allowance for doubtful accounts and billing adjustments; (iv) the Company improperly altered the estimated life of its assets, causing a decrease in its depreciation expense; (v) while the Company claimed that it was writing down its excess inventory of chips, it instead wrote down finished products in order to hide weakening sales momentum; and (vi) as a result of the above, the Company's financial statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On January 9, 2013, Copperfield Research published a report revealing, among other things, that the Company had been consistently overstating its revenue and profitability. According to the report, "magicJack has presented its retail investor base with earnings press release and financial tables that are overstated and later altered based on the corresponding SEC filings."
On this news, magicJack stock declined $2.01 per share or more than 11%, to close at $15.30 per share on January 9, 2013.
The Pomerantz Firm, with offices in New York, Chicago, and San Diego, is acknowledged as one of the premier firms in the areas of corporate, securities, and antitrust class litigation.

Redskins win sectional bowling tournament
The long trip to northern Ohio was well worth it.
The Wapakoneta Redskins made the more than two-hour trip to Star Lanes at the Harbor in Port Clinton and returned to Auglaize County with a sectional championship.
Wapak won the Division I boys bowling sectional tournament Friday and qualified for the district tournament. After three games and six Baker matches, Wapak had the top score (3,878) among 13 teams.
The top four teams from each sectional advanced to this Saturday's district tournament.
"It feels great," Redskins coach Jim Kaeck said. "There were some good teams up there. The competition around here, with Coldwater, Versailles, St. Henry — they're as good as any in the state."
Nate Kaeck was second-best finisher in the entire sectional tournament Friday, as he knocked down 655 pins (256-208-191), including a tournament-high game of 256.
"I was really proud of him," Jim Kaeck said. "He's come a long way. He really threw the ball well."
Austin Krites (190-164-233) was fifth overall, and Brandon Kennard (190-187-176) finished 10th overall for Wapak.
Chandler Kaeck (192-206) rolled two games Friday for the Redskins.
Wapak's Blake Knueve bowled a 174 and Trevor Copeland (148) in one game.
The Redskins will make their district appearance at 11 a.m. Saturday at Lex Lanes in Lexington.
"I thought our team was the best team at the sectional," Jim Kaeck said. "It's going to be the same four teams from our sectional at districts. I feel confident. If we bowl our game we should win."
The district champion and the top individual bowler not on the district championship team will advance to state.

Two minutes.
That's all dozens of William Paterson students got on Thursday morning to make their pitch to major corporate executives, using those 120 seconds to explain why they could be the business world's next great salesperson.
This was speed-selling, the third leg of the 2013 Russ Berrie Institute Sales Triathalon, a three-day sales competition for students in the university's Russ Berrie Institute for Professional Sales.
The first two events involved a mock interview and a sales role play, in which students had to sell an HR package from ADP to a midsized business looking to expand. The overall goal for the 127 students competing was twofold: To impress the executive/judges and advance in the competition, but also to make connections that could lead to real-world jobs.
"It's a really tightly packed, sell yourself situation," said Prabakar Kothandaraman, executive director of the Russ Berrie Institute. "It's really important for the students to get in front of these executives."
The competition is a prelude to the National Sales Challenge, which will take place at William Paterson in November. At that event, the two top performing William Paterson students will compete against students from 35 other institutions for a national sales title.
Both the university-level triathlon and the national sales competition illustrate how serious the subject of sales is at William Paterson. It is a legitimate academic discipline, with its own institute founded 10 years ago with a gift from Russell Berrie Foundation. Sales was of critical importance to Berrie, the now-deceased plush toy maker best known for his teddy bears, and he felt it should be given the academic respect it deserved.
"When (the institute) started, sales was not considered cool as an academic discipline. We've come a long way in the last 10 years," Kothandaraman said.
"As far as the students are concerned, it's a no-brainer," he said. "Sales is one function you cannot downsize, to a large extent."
The sales curriculum is the main reason why Juliana Cruz, a junior at William Paterson, enrolled in the university to begin with.
"When I started to think about it," she said, "I realized I love sales."
On Thursday, after the speed-selling event and one final competition, Cruz was named the overall winner of the sales triathlon. John Kaplan came in second, followed by Benjamin Pitman and Andrew Mazzella.
Even more vital to her success than the title of overall winner, Cruz received a business card from one of the executives, who said the student would be a great fit for an internship.
And she attributes her polished approach throughout the competition to the training she's received at William Paterson, she said.
The training "is so real," Cruz said. "When we go out into the field, we know what to expect."
That's part of the allure for the businesses that who sent representatives to the sales triathalon.
Timothy Hunt, regional vice president for Tom James, the largest custom suit and shirt manufacturer in the world, said five of the 45 sales reps in the company's Manhattan office are William Paterson grads.
"I know that they have the core skills," Hunt said of William Paterson students. "I know I can teach them about our product, so I'm looking at the type of person they are."
And programs like the one at William Paterson are keeping the pipeline full of strong talent, and drawing more people to a career that, in the past, has carried a stigma.
"Now it's sought after," Hunt said of sales. "It's being validated as the true profession that it is."

This two disc set features a full documentary on the history of the Aspen series with commentary by legendary directors such as Steven Scarborough and John Rutherford offering interesting insights into the history of Falcon Studios. You also get three bonus all-oral scenes--complete with six more cum shots! Instead of filming the usual solos for the bonus disc, team Falcon decided to shoot a series of all oral scenes. As an additional bonus we went back through the first five Aspen movies and selected the best scene from each movie and have included it in full on this special bonus disc. All together there are dozens of men, seventeen scenes and hour upon hour of viewing pleasure. The Other Side of Side of Aspen VI is not only the Porn Event of the year, it's the best value in all-male erotica on the market today!

Applies to magnesium chloride: sustained-release tablets
Check with your doctor if any of these most COMMON side effects persist or become bothersome:
Seek medical attention right away if any of these SEVERE side effects occur while taking magnesium chloride:
Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue); nausea; slow reflexes.
Applies to magnesium chloride: compounding powder, injectable solution, oral tablet extended release
Other side effects have resulted from toxicity (hypermagnesemia). Mild hypermagnesemia is generally well-tolerated. Moderate or severe hypermagnesemia primarily affects the nervous and cardiovascular systems. The effects of hypermagnesemia may be worsened by the presence of hypocalcemia, especially in patients with uremia.[Ref]
Gastrointestinal side effects have included diarrhea. Magnesium toxicity has been associated with nausea (magnesium levels of 4 to 5 mEq/L) and rare cases of paralytic ileus (magnesium levels greater than 5 mEq/L).[Ref]
Nervous system side effects have resulted from the suppression of neuromuscular transmission in the CNS and at the neuromuscular junction by magnesium (antagonized by calcium). The degree of severity of these side effects has been dependent on the serum magnesium level. Clinically, if serum magnesium (Mg) levels increase to 4 to 7 mEq/L, there may be a decrease in tendon reflexes, muscle weakness and/or mental confusion/sedation. At levels of 7 to 10 mEq/L the respiratory rate slows and the blood pressure falls. At levels of 10 to 15 mEq/L there is usually profound mental depression, areflexia, coma and respiratory paralysis. Magnesium also has a curare-like effect at the neuromuscular junction at serum levels above 10 mEq/L. Death is not uncommon when serum magnesium levels rise to 15 mEq/L.[Ref]
The cardiovascular consequences of hypermagnesemia are due to peripheral vasodilation. Hypotension may be observed when serum magnesium levels rise to 7 to 10 mEq/L, becoming severe when serum magnesium levels rise above 10 mEq/L. Magnesium can also depress myocardial conductivity at levels greater than 10 mEq/L. This can result in bradyarrhythmias. While some patients are inexplicably able to tolerate extraordinary magnesium levels, there is a significant risk of asystole when levels rise to 25 mEq/L. The risk of cardiotoxicity from hypermagnesemia is increased in the presence of hypocalcemia, hyperkalemia, acidosis, digitalis therapy, and renal insufficiency.[Ref]
Cardiovascular side effects have included hypotension, depressed myocardial conductivity and asystole.[Ref]
Acute hypermagnesemia may cause hypocalcemia due to suppression of the release of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and competition for renal tubular reabsorption between calcium (Ca) and magnesium. The latter can lead to decreased Ca reabsorption and hypercalciuria, which aggravates the hypocalcemia produced by decreased release of PTH.[Ref]
Metabolic side effects have included hypocalcemia.[Ref]
Magnesium chloride is generally well tolerated.[Ref]

*The only difference I can see, is that you'd be spending your time, energy
and possibly a lot of other people's grant money investigating what you
believe is a completely fictional ancient world, which hardly seems like the
act of a good steward.*
But what if his position were this: *"I don't believe the world I described
in my dissertation is 'fictional.' However, I also believe in the reality
of the 10,000-year-old world I describe in other writing I've done. My
epistemology is such that I believe I can responsibly hold these apparently
conflicting positions at the same time. Essentially, I'm a fideist and I
think we hold the principle of non-contradiction too strongly given our
human limitations. If you disagree with my epistemology, I respect that,
but my dissertation isn't about epistemology."*
I don't know if this is his position, but I'm not sure I'd be so quick to
condemn it if it were. After all, whether we attribute certain things to
the "hiddenness of God," "miracle," "accomodation," "methodological
naturalism versus metaphysical naturalism," or something else, most of us to
some extent believe some things that aren't strictly accountable to
human reason and logic.
Maybe another way to phrase it is this: does the conferral of a Ph.D. in
the natural sciences signify that the recipient necessarily accepts a
thoroughly rationalist epistemology?

The perfect blend of function and fashion upgrades.
Ten years ago, Neil Tjin and his "aLL sTaR" car club were known in Miami, Fla. for building cars on their own budgets and dreaming of awards at car shows like Hot Import Nights. In 2005, Tjin partnered with Turtle Wax to tour around the U.S. and showcase his successful Nissan 240 SX show car before giving it away at SEMA.
The "Tjin Edition Tour" has since evolved into the "Tjin Edition Roadshow" as a way to the showcase the cars he builds with the help of select marketing partners. This immaculate Chevrolet Cruze is one of the latest build-ups and it draws inspiration and experience from his more than 60 previous car builds. Not only does it turn heads, it showcases Chevy's latest sport compact sedan offering nicely.
One of Tjin's signature elements on any build is the color palette. For this Cruze, the maize and blue livery of the Michigan Wolverines served as inspiration for the bright yellow paint job with contrasting blue accents. The front lip, side skirts, rear valence and carbon fiber wing are courtesy of 3D Carbon while Wraptivo's universal carbon wrap has been used on the roof to add more contrast. The blue pinstripes, which have become another signature of Tjin Edition builds, is the handiwork of well-known pinstripe artist Jeff Styles. The lighting system has also been customized by Light Wurkz and now features Ignited HIDs.
Under the hood, upgrades to the 1.4L turbocharged engine have been kept to a minimum to keep the gas mileage high. Unique Fabrication has managed to add a little more pep via it custom-made Vibrant front mount intercooler and Nitrous Express intercooler sprayer that provides extra power on demand. Polished custom intake piping and down-pipe help maintain an OEM-like appearance while a MagnaFlow exhaust gives off a more aggressive aftermarket sound. The engine bay is painted using the same DuPont Candy Sunburst Yellow paint job as on the exterior of the car, while the valve cover got a blast of blue and "Tjin Edition" badging to finish things off.
At the corners, 19-inch custom blue powdercoated Rotiform TMB wheels and Falken FK45s tires give the car an aggressive style while maintaining a comfortable ride. To improve the car's handling and keep it planted in corners, Pedders fully-adjustable coil-overs have been paired with a custom set of Unique Fabrication sway bars. Custom-painted six-piston Baer calipers clamp down on 14-inch cross-drilled rotors in the front, with a similar configuration behind the rear wheels.
Inside the car, both the front and rear seats have been wrapped in black leather with a custom blue diamond-stitched pattern in the seat and bottom cushion. The door panels, dash, trunk and various interior accent pieces by LR Interiors have gotten the same pattern and embroidery treatment. And, since Tjin often drives this car himself and accommodating his son Colin and new daughter Kylie is a priority, a pair of Recaro child seats is tasked with keeping them strapped in and safe. A custom dual-vent TVS900 sunroof by Webasto helps bring as much of that Florida sunshine and air into the cabin as possible.
Tjin grips an ACE Customs steering wheel and monitors engine vitals via custom-integrated GlowShift gauges in the dash. His interactions with the police are minimized via an Escort iQ radar detector and ZR4 radar jammers. All audio components have been replaced with Realm speakers and amplifiers. There are new component speakers in the doors, a custom amp rack in the trunk and a pair of 10-inch subwoofers connected with Scosche wiring and interconnects. To provide the best possible sound inside the cabin while keeping road noise out, a layer of sound deadening material preceded the installation, which also features a pair of custom-painted Nitrous Express bottles with remote bottle openers in the trunk.
Having received an overwhelming response from his seven Tjin Edition featured builds at the 2011 SEMA show, Tjin's truly does enjoy driving around Miami in the Chevy. It isn't over-the-top by any stretch, but it is a perfect blend of function and fashion. If you're in Florida, keep an eye out for this stylish and classy daily driver in grocery store parking lots; or, watch for it in your area as the 2012 Tjin Edition Roadshow is already well underway!

Mia Wasikowska, Olivia Williams and newcomer Evan Bird have all joined the thriller "Maps To The Stars" at eOne and Prospero Pictures.
Bruce Wagner penned the script which is described as a ghost story that also doubles as a commentary on celebrity culture in Los Angeles.
Bird will play a drug-addicted child star, Williams is his manipulative mother, and Wasikowska is his disfigured, schizophrenic, fame-obsessed sister.
Julianne Moore, John Cusack, Sarah Gadon and Robert Pattinson also star, while Martin Katz and Saïd Ben Saïd will produce.
Shooting kicks off in July in Toronto and Los Angeles.

From Chuck Todd, Mark Murray, Domenico Montanaro, and Ali Weinberg
*** Kennedy's letter: When Arlen Specter switched parties earlier this year, giving Democrats 60 Senate seats, we noted that Democrats didn't necessarily have a filibuster-proof majority due to the health of Dem Sens. Robert Byrd and Ted Kennedy. Well, in a letter to Massachusetts state leaders, it appears that Kennedy is concerned that there could be times during the health-care debate this fall when Democrats don't have 60 votes. The Boston Globe: "In a personal, sometimes wistful letter sent Tuesday to Governor Deval L. Patrick, Senate President Therese Murray, and House Speaker Robert A. DeLeo, Kennedy asks that Patrick be given authority to appoint someone to the seat temporarily before voters choose a new senator in a special election… 'I strongly support that law and the principle that the people should elect their senator,' Kennedy wrote. 'I also believe it is vital for this Commonwealth to have two voices speaking for the needs of its citizens and two votes in the Senate during the approximately five months between a vacancy and an election.'"
*** Thinking about the future: Sources close to Kennedy tell NBC's Kelly O'Donnell that he sent the letter, dated July 2, "because he is thinking about the future and what best serves the interests of the state." Sources add that Kennedy's wife, Victoria Reggie Kennedy, an attorney, is not interested in being selected as a potential interim successor, "Vicki is focused on the Senator and her family, not a Senate seat." Asked if the letter is an indication that Kennedy's health is further deteriorating, aides discouraged any suggestion of that saying, "The letter does not mean something is imminent." It's also worth noting, O'Donnell says, that the governor of Massachusetts received the letter only yesterday despite the July 2 date, per Kennedy aides.
*** The Law of Unintended Consequences: The Boston Globe reports, however, that there's some resistance to changing the state's succession law, which calls for a special election to occur five months after a Senate vacancy -- but doesn't allow for a governor to appoint someone to fill the seat in the interim. Just five years ago, when John Kerry was running for president, the state changed its succession law to prevent Mitt Romney from being able to select a Republican to fill Kerry's seat if Kerry had won the election. Hence the current law on Massachusetts' books right now. The good ol' law of unintended consequences: Sometimes lawmakers get a tad too cute in their attempts to manipulate processes like this, and this was one of those cases.
*** Reconciliation: How serious are Democrats about pushing health care through the budget reconciliation process? Very serious. The president has signaled for MONTHS, not days, that he's willing to go this route. In fact, he hinted at it in an interview with NBC News two weeks ago in Elkhart. The question is whether the threat of reconciliation is about keeping Republicans at the table talking, or whether it's a serious option. We can tell you this: We know the president's experience in the Senate has convinced him that the 60-vote threshold seems a bit absurd to him sometimes. If you can get 55 votes for something, you should be able to get your bill out of the Senate, according to those who have talked with him about this issue. By the way, as the White House has shown public flexibility on the public option, it's worth noting that we STILL can't find a single Republican who has praised the president for suggesting that the public option is optional. Instead, it seems they want to go for the political kill.
*** Obama and the public option: Speaking of the public option, senior White House aides are a little frustrated with the coverage this week of the president's stance on this issue. They believe that his position hasn't changed; in fact, they have emphasized behind the scenes that the president has ALWAYS indicated the public option was negotiable. So what he said last Saturday in Colorado was not new. Of course, it's how he said it and that he did so in public -- which came as a surprise to the most ardent supporters of the public option. Many on the progressive/liberal left did NOT realize how optional the public option was with the president. What will the president say about it today at 2:45 pm ET heads over to the DNC to participate in a health-care strategy session -- by phone and online -- with his Organizing for America grassroots supporters? Before that, Obama will discuss health care on Michael Smerconish's conservative talk-radio show, which today is being broadcast from the White House.
*** Defining the public option: By the way, here's another issue regarding the public option: Just what is it? Is it an expansion of Medicare? Is it a separate entity? Is it a new entity? Is it something akin to Freddie and Fannie? It does seem to be one of these policy initiatives that means different things to different folks. True experts on this issue have an idea, but now it has become political hot potato -- over the role of government -- and some of the loudest voices both sides of the issue are probably incapable of giving a good description of what the policy will do. Perhaps this is yet another example of how the White House has made things MORE difficult by not having a defined plan to push/defend.
*** Grassley looking for a way out of the talks? So Senate Finance ranking member Chuck Grassley now says he wants to narrow the scope of the bill. Is he looking for a way out of the talks? Does he wants Democrats and the White House to essentially kick him out of the talks? It sure looks like it. How much more does he have to say that seems to be counter-productive to the bipartisan talks and the White House's agenda before the White House will finally say, "OK, fine, Sen. Grassley -- you're released!!??!!?? The Senate Finance Gang of Six holds a conference call meeting tonight. Will this be the night Grassley backs out? Is that the signal he's sending? So he's negotiating in the press?
*** Afghanistan's election: Polls have already closed in Afghanistan's presidential election, with preliminary results due on Aug. 25 and final results due on Sept. 3, per NBC's Dax Tejera. The New York Times says turnout was uneven "with higher participation in the relatively peaceful north than in the troubled south, where insurgents threw up makeshift roadblocks in one area to warn off voters. In the southern city of Kandahar, witnesses said, insurgents hanged two people because their fingers were marked with indelible ink used to denote that they had voted." Wow. More from the Times: "The major question at the election, diplomats and analysts said, is whether President Hamid Karzai will succeed in winning over 50 percent of the vote in the first round, securing a victory, or be pushed into a second, more unpredictable round of voting. A vast field of 34 opponents and a last-minute surge by his main challenger, Abdullah Abdullah, as well as Taliban intimidation in the volatile south, which is Mr. Karzai's base, threatened to chip away at the president's support."
*** Not worth fighting for? Sticking with the situation in Afghanistan… Last month, in conversations with NBC/WSJ poll respondents about the economy and health care, we told you about a few folks who -- without prompting -- brought up the war in Afghanistan as something that might not be worth escalating or spending money on during these tough times. Today, a Washington Post/ABC poll seems to have found even wider agreement on the issue of whether this is the "good war" as some have referred to it as. According to the poll, a "majority of Americans now see the war in Afghanistan as not worth fighting, and just a quarter say more U.S. troops should be sent to the country." This is potentially a HUGE turning point in public opinion on the war, and one that could have massive political and policy implications just when the administration is debating whether to send even more troops to the war zone.
*** Blackwater back in the news: NBC's Andrea Mitchell reports that government officials confirm reports in the New York Times and the Washington Post that the CIA subcontracted its secret assassination program to Blackwater, the controversial security program that has in the past drawn fire for using excessive force in Iraq. A senior official tells Mitchell that Blackwater -- since renamed as Xe Services -- was hired at an earlier stage but not in the later stages of the program, which never was "fully operational." The official says the program "never took anyone off the streets."
*** The dog days of August: What is about August and tough times for American presidents? As we've noted before, this is the third summer in a row that hasn't been all that kind for Barack Obama. In August 2007, he was trailing Hillary Clinton in the polls. In August 2008, his lead over John McCain narrowed, spurring plenty of Democratic backseat driving and second-guessing. And in August 2009, he appears to be losing the health-care fight. But Augusts also have been unkind to other recent presidents and presidential candidates. It was August 2001 when George W. Bush unveiled his stem-cell policy that produced plenty of criticism. That same August came the presidential daily briefing entitled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike In U.S." In August 2005 came Hurricane Katrina. And it was the Swift-boat campaign of August 2004 that crushed John Kerry's presidential campaign. And remember that certain August in 1998 with Bill Clinton…

MIDDLESBROUGH are closing in on a permanent deal for Danny Graham after Sunderland indicated they are willing to sell the striker for a cut-price fee.
The Black Cats are looking to offload Graham for as little as £1m, despite paying £5m for the striker 18 months ago.
The Gateshead-born front man spent the second half of last season on loan at the Riverside and Boro head coach Aitor Karanka revealed last week that he was keeping an eye on Graham's situation at the Stadium of Light.
Karanka is in the market for a striker having sold Marvin Emnes to Swansea City and there are also questions marks over Lukas Jutkiewicz's future with several Championship clubs interested.
Graham scored six times on his return to Teesside and it is understood the player is keen to stay in the North-East despite interest from former club Watford. A deal will most likely depend on Graham accepting a wage cut.
Meanwhile, Karanka has revealed injured duo Rhys Williams and Mustapha Carayol may not be fit until the start of next year.
There were suggestions Williams could return quicker than anticipated before the start of the new season, but the Boro head coach revealed it will be a few more months before the Australian is ready to return.
The 25-year-old ruptured his Achilles during Boro's 0-0 draw with Wigan in January, which meant he missed out on Australia's World Cup squad for the second time after he was ruled out of South Africa 2010 with a pelvic injury. Carayol tore his cruciate ligament at Bournemouth in March.
"I prefer to think about January or February and if they are in November or December that's better for me," Karanka said.
Kei Kamara returned to pre-season training with the rest of the squad last week, despite accusing the club of not supporting him during a recent bout of malaria.
The striker became ill while on holiday and took to Twitter to make claims that the Teessiders didn't help him. Kamara's future is in doubt having rarely featured in the second half of last season, but Karanka revealed the issue with the Sierra Leone international had been resolved.
He said: "He's training very well, as are all the players in the team and I think his sickness is over. He's in a good mood and it's important for me to train every day with all the players."


text: US Commerce Department, EC release Privacy Shield details; EC releases Adequacy Decision on Shield's protections Data Protection, Privacy and Security Alert Global Tax Alert Share this 29 FEB 2016 On February 29, 2016, the Department of Commerce and European Commission released the details of the new US-EU Privacy Shield program, intended to replace the now defunct US-EU Safe Harbor program. According to the materials released, the new program includes an expanded set of privacy principles, increased operational vetting to be conducted by the Commerce Department's International Trade Administration, a new role for EU data protection authorities, assurances of enforcement from the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Transportation, and a new arbitration model. The details were released today as part of a package, transmitted by US Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker to EU Commissioner Věra Jourová, that includes over 120 pages of documentation detailing the results of the Privacy Shield negotiations, as well as supporting letters from the US Department of Justice and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence to provide assurances that the privacy rights of Europeans will be protected. Below is a description of the new Privacy Shield program. Please stay tuned for additional analysis and guidance on next steps. Privacy Shield For most companies, Privacy Shield will in practice be very similar to its predecessor, Safe Harbor, and most of the Privacy Shield requirements follow the original Safe Harbor framework. The Privacy Principles and self-certification requirements under Safe Harbor remain largely intact. However, several principles have been given more detail. For example, the Notice principle under the Privacy Shield sets forth 13 items that must be addressed in a company's notice and includes a "clear and conspicuous" notice requirement. The Onward Transfer principle has also been updated, to, among other things, require participating companies to "provide a summary or a representative copy of the relevant privacy provisions of its contract with that [service provider] to the Department upon request." Thus, companies transitioning from Safe Harbor to Privacy Shield will need to take several further affirmative steps to bring their practices into compliance with the Privacy Shield. Increased oversight by the Department of Commerce Under the new program, the Commerce Department will be more rigorous in confirming the accuracy of the contents of the self-certification and affirmatively searching for non-compliant organizations. For example, the summary letter from ITA to Commissioner Jourova includes the following highlights to address concerns about non-compliance by lapsed or partially non-compliant safe harbor participants: Removal of companies that have failed to renew. The Department of Commerce will more actively update the participant list, including removal of those that have not renewed, along with a reason for non-renewal. This will also involve maintenance of a former participant list because organizations that collect personal data during their participation in the program and retain such data after dropping out of the program are obliged to maintain those protections Increased validation of self-certification and dispute resolution. The Department will validate that the contents of each self-certification are complete, and will communicate with third party dispute resolution firms to validate that the assertion of registration is in fact correct Public enforcement actions. Enforcement of Privacy Shield violations will be publicly posted on the Commerce Department's website Requirement to delete data for "persistent" violators. If an organization is removed from the Privacy Shield program for a 'persistent failure to comply' then that organization will be instructed to delete the personal data it obtained under the Privacy Shield program Validation efforts for inactive participants. The Department will actively contact former Privacy Shield organizations, inquiring whether data received during the program will be returned, deleted, or continue to be protected, and will validate that former Privacy Shield participants no longer make public assertions of their Privacy Shield participation. More significantly, the Department of Commerce has also committed to the following: Compliance audits. The Department will conduct periodic audits or compliance reviews of the Program generally and participating organizations specifically. The company reviews will be triggered by "non-frivolous" complaints of non-compliance, an organization's failure to respond to inquiries, or other "credible evidence" that the organization is not fulfilling its Privacy Shield commitments DPA cooperation. The Department will cooperate and coordinate with European DPAs to facilitate complaints and Cost-free arbitration. The Department will develop and maintain arbitration procedures and select arbitrators to resolve disputes at no cost to the complaining individuals (whereas previously an arbitration fee could be charged). The Department will also appoint an independent administration official (Undersecretary Cathy Novelli of the State Department) to assess and contribute to validation of assertions by law enforcement and national security agencies for the need to access European data. This feature is a response to significant and vocal criticisms from EU regulators relating to Snowden allegations regarding US surveillance activities and their impact on the privacy of EU personal data. The EC Adequacy Determination In a draft decision adopted on February 29, 2016 (Draft Adequacy Decision), the EU Commission concluded that for the purposes of Article 25(2) of Directive 95/46/EC, the United States will be considered to ensure an adequate level of protection for personal data transferred from the European Union to organizations in the United States that are self-certified under the US-EU Privacy Shield. Such self-certified organizations will be included in the so-called Privacy Shield List, which will be maintained and made publicly available by the US Department of Commerce. The new EU Privacy Shield is intended to reflect requirements set out by the European Court of Justice (ECJ) in its ruling in the Schrems case on October 6, 2015, which invalidated the existing Safe Harbor Agreement. The ECJ's rejection of Safe Harbor was largely based on potential US government surveillance practices. The Draft Adequacy Decision addresses concerns regarding the use of personal data by US. public authorities in Section 3, as follows: Clear limitations on US public authorities' access and use of personal data. The Draft Adequacy Decision states explicitly that the US has given the EU written assurances that access by public authorities for law enforcement and national security will be subject to clear limitations, safeguards and oversight mechanisms. Specifically, the US government has given the European Commission explicit assurance that the US Intelligence Community "does not engage in indiscriminate mass surveillance of anyone, including ordinary European citizens." Annual joint review. To regularly monitor the functioning of the arrangement there will be an annual joint review by the European Commission and the US Department of Commerce, which will address the issue of national security access. This meeting will be open for EU DPAs and representatives of the Article 29 Working Party. Individual redress. Any EU data subject concerned that her or his data has been misused under the new arrangement will have several redress possibilities. Companies must reply to complaints within given deadlines. European DPAs can refer complaints to the Department of Commerce and the Federal Trade Commission. In addition, alternative dispute resolution will be free of charge. As a last resort, EU data subjects might be able to bring civil claims against companies for misusing data, including under tort liability, unfair trade practices and breach of contract. Further, with respect to individual redress for data gathered pursuant to illegal US government surveillance, the EU Commission cites several remedies as providing appropriate protection under US law. First, an individual can prevent the US government from using illegally-gathered evidence against the individual in administrative or judicial proceedings, as described in Fourth Amendment jurisprudence in combination with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, and others. Second, in certain specific cases under one or more of such statutes (e.g., egregious willful illegal surveillance), non-US citizens could bring a civil cause of action against the United States, or could sue US government officials in their personal capacity, both for money damages. Privacy Shield Ombudsperson. In order to provide an additional avenue accessible for all EU data subjects, the US government has decided to create a new mechanism, the Privacy Shield Ombudsperson. According to the Draft Adequacy Decision, the binding commitments from the US government ensure that the Privacy Shield Ombudsperson will investigated the individual complaints and provide individuals independent confirmation that US laws have been complied with or, in case of a violation of such laws, that non-compliance has been remedied. Concerns linger Once the Adequacy Determination has been finalized, the full Privacy Shield package will be published in the Federal Register and will become effective in the US shortly thereafter. The question remains for US organizations whether to immediately apply for the Privacy Shield program or to adopt a wait-and-see approach. Uncertainties of implementation As noted above, the Privacy Shield details make clear that, under the new program there will be i) stricter vetting of applicants and those already within the program, and ii) a significant increase in enforcement. For those organizations that had fully implemented the Safe Harbor principles and operating rules into their systems, policies, and training, the stricter vetting should not be too serious a concern. In essence, these firms had treated their Safe Harbor commitments much as any other government-supervised compliance program, with rigor and diligence. Critics of the Safe Harbor program, however, provided evidence of some participants not fully honoring these obligations. Therefore, smaller organizations or those that in the past had treated Safe Harbor as a check-box exercise will find the demand for robust policies, procedures, and internal enforcement mechanisms to be more of a challenge. The implementation uncertainties are not limited to the US side. Recall that under the Schrems decision invalidating the Safe Harbor program, the ECJ confirmed that each DPA could – and indeed has the responsibility to – assure itself that potential transfers would be treated appropriately. For those DPAs that have expressed skepticism of Safe Harbor, it would not be unrealistic to expect them to solicit information from EU data exporters concerning just how confident the exporter is of the data importer's protections. Future challenges to Privacy Shield (as well as model contracts and binding corporate rules) The United States has been eager to demonstrate its bona fides with respect to honoring the privacy expectations of Europeans whose personal data is in the US. The letter from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence seeks to provide such assurances, as does the approval by Congress of the Judicial Redress Act (see here and here) signed by the President on February 24, 2016. It is unlikely, though, that skeptics such as certain European data protection authorities will accept such affirmations at face value. So while the United States will honor and implement the Privacy Shield program, European DPAs and organizations may be more hesitant to commit to a program that may be found invalid for similar reasons as the Safe Harbor (even if several European member states' surveillance programs would fail under a legal standard that found the Privacy Shield unlawful). Enhanced enforcement Beyond acceptance to the new club, the promise of enhanced enforcement by the FTC and DOT should give all organizations a moment's hesitation. Even for well-intentioned organizations under Safe Harbor, the paucity of enforcement gave those participants a measure of comfort. While there are different reasons for the lack of enforcement (such as the paltry number of referrals by DPAs to the FTC), the FTC had begun to enforce the Safe Harbor program on its own. Under Privacy Shield, the Europeans have a new set of expectations concerning enforcement by the United States. Within the US, few in the privacy space disregard the current level of FTC activity (even when formal enforcement is not initiated). It would therefore be unwise to anticipate that FTC enforcement of Privacy Shield – assuming sufficient staff and resources – will be anything to treat casually. But until we have some evidence of this (increased) enforcement activity, it will be difficult to articulate what the compliance risk has now become. Next steps for US organizations It is clear that the United States and European Commission have expended significant effort and political resources to move the process to this point. It also seems clear that the US and the EC want this to be a successful program – facilitating the international flow of personal data while respecting legitimate interests such as privacy and national security. There will doubtless be challenges from DPAs, but when taken to their logical extreme such challenges apply equally to all forms of data transfer, the impact of which would be to terminate data flows to the US. US organizations who were previously certified to the Safe Harbor Program will need to assess how the new, more detailed compliance requirements map to their existing efforts. Some of this will be an operational review and some will involve a legal analysis of what constitutes compliance under this new regime. Similarly, organizations with developed privacy programs who were not participants in the Safe Harbor program will need to examine their existing programs in light of the new Privacy Shield requirements, and may need to make some adjustments in order to comply with Privacy Shield. Those US organizations that are smaller or have not built out their privacy compliance programs may want to wait and watch how Privacy Shield works in practice before going through the self-certification process, as it necessarily includes some internal auditing, implementation steps, and public attestations of adherence prior to submitting an application for self-certification. From the October invalidation of Safe Harbor, many Safe Harbor-certified and non-Safe Harbor-certified firms sought to leverage the EC-approved model clauses for their data transfers. This makes sense, and is currently still an option, given the anticipated scrutiny from Europe of data transfers in general. Next steps in the EU It is too early to tell whether EU authorities will agree with the Commission's draft Adequacy Decision. The Commission will now obtain advice from the Article 29 Data Protection Working Party and representative DPAs of member states, several of which have expressed concerns regarding the adequacy of the proposed EU-US Privacy Shield in the past.
