AMHERST, Mass. – The University of Massachusetts Amherst's first-ever fundraising campaign driven by social media was a resounding success this week, raising $83,947 during a 36-hour event that included 1,533 online gifts as the campus kicked off its 150th birthday celebration.
Sarah Sligo, executive director of annual giving, says, "Our alumni and friends, faculty and staff really rose to the challenge with this campaign. So many made it clear that UMass gives so much to the Commonwealth and beyond, and they wanted to give something back. I think the UMassGives theme really spoke to people, especially those with a personal connection to this campus on our 150th anniversary."
She adds, "We were thrilled to see the energy and enthusiasm in our student population, both those who helped out with the campaign and those who gave to it. It's such a great testament to the community that can be fostered on our flagship campus."
The social media fundraiser launched at noon on Founders Day, April 29, at a picnic where Chancellor Kumble Subbaswamy cut a 150-pound cake and a crowd of thousands sang "Happy Birthday." The campaign goal was to increase the number of donors among alumni and other supporters. A core group of more than 125 alumni, friends, faculty and staff already active on social media served as online ambassadors to inspire first-time donors.

Dear Dr. K: My mother was recently diagnosed with cancer. I told her to look into palliative care, but she insists that"s for patients who have given up.
Dear Reader: It sounds like your mother may be confusing palliative care with hospice care. It"s a common mistake. Hospice and palliative care are often talked about as if they are the same thing, but they"re not.
Hospice is for people who are expected to live for only a short time and who have stopped treatment to prolong life. Palliative care is medical care that aims to improve a person"s quality of life during any serious illness, fatal or not.
A person can receive palliative care at any stage of his or her illness. In fact, many people could benefit from palliative care starting soon after diagnosis of a serious illness.
Comfort is the main goal of palliative care. As a result, identifying and managing pain is a priority. Painkillers are often necessary. Pain by itself can be extremely debilitating; left untreated, it can suppress the immune system and cause depression.
Palliative care also addresses other types of physical discomfort — for example, shortness of breath, fatigue and insomnia. Constipation can be a major problem. In fact, since it"s a common side effect of certain painkillers, successful treatment of pain may require treatments for constipation. Cancer patients receiving chemotherapy frequently need help with control of nausea and vomiting.
Psychological and social services, for patients and their caregivers, also are included in palliative care. Even if patients remain even-keeled and don"t need psychological support, they may well need advice and clear information. Palliative care specialists can help patients set realistic goals and make treatment choices.
If someone is seriously ill, there are often practical issues he or she may need to contend with: financial pressures, insurance discussions, home support services, coordinating doctors" appointments, dealing with bureaucratic red tape and arranging transportation.
I recall a patient of mine in her 60s who had cancer. There was little hope she would be alive in five years, and she knew it. She could no longer continue to work. Her financial future was now clouded (she was paying down major personal and family debts). She didn"t understand the insurance policies her late husband had purchased. Finally, she knew it was likely that within a year she was going to need lots of help at home — to buy groceries, to cook, to clean.
She told me: "We all have to die, and the minute I knew the diagnosis I realized I was likely to die a lot younger than I"d hoped. But I was resigned to that, not scared by it. What terrified me was the feeling that my life was going to fall apart in the months or years I had left. Palliative care has prevented my nightmares."
I hope you can persuade your mother to take a second look at palliative care. It could make a real difference in her quality of life.

Kandahār, also spelled Qandahār, city in south-central Afghanistan. It lies on a plain next to the Tarnak River, at an elevation of about 3,300 feet (1,000 metres). It is southern Afghanistan's chief commercial centre and is situated at the junction of highways from Kabul, Herāt, and Quetta (Pakistan). Kandahār has an international airport, though it has traditionally been used for domestic flights.
The strategic and commercial importance of the site, on main routes via Herāt to Central Asia, to Kabul, and to India, explains its long history of conquests and frequent refoundings. The city was included in the Achaemenian dynasty by Darius I, was taken by Alexander the Great in 329 bc, was surrendered by Seleucus I (Nicator) to Chandragupta in 305 bc and dignified by a rock inscription in Greek and Aramaic by his grandson Ashoka, and thereafter was successively held by Greco-Bactrians, Parthians, Śakas, Kushāns, and Sāsānians. During its Islamic period, Kandahār was held by a succession of various Arab, Persian, Turkic, and Mongol overlords. It fell under Arab rule in the 7th century ad, under the Ṣaffārid dynasty in the 9th, and under the Ghaznavid dynasty in the 10th. Kandahār was destroyed by the Mongol invader Genghis Khan and again by the Turkic conqueror Timur (Tamerlane), after which it was held by the Mughal dynasty (16th century) and the Persians (17th century). In 1747 it became the first capital of a unified Afghanistan. From 1839 the British sought control of the area but finally lost it in September 1881. The subsequent history of Kandahār has been no less eventful; in the 1980s, during the Afghan War, Kandahār was the scene of intermittent fierce fighting between Afghan rebels and Soviet invasion forces. From the mid-1990s until its overthrow in 2001 the Taliban, an Islamic fundamentalist faction that controlled much of Afghanistan, had its headquarters there. Afterward it was a staging area for U.S. military strikes against Islamic militants.
The inhabitants of the modern city of Kandahār, as of the surrounding villages, are mostly Pashtun (Pathan) of the Durrānī tribe, with some Ghilzay and Kākar and Persian-speaking elements. Together with Peshāwar, Pakistan, Kandahār is one of the two great cities of the Pashtun and is the centre of the soft-voice form of their language, called Pashto, as contrasted with the harder Pakhto of Peshāwar.
The centre of the modern city lies just to the west of the crowded old city built by the native Afghan ruler Aḥmad Shah Durrānī (1722?–72) as his capital. Although only a few sections of the great mud wall that formerly enclosed this old city survive, its geometric plan and rectangular shape—6,000 by 1,800 feet (1,800 by 550 metres)—can still be distinguished. In the northeast corner stands the dominating mausoleum of Aḥmad Shah Durrānī, the only attempt at monumental architecture in the city. With its handsome gilded dome and the 12 minor tombs of Aḥmad Shah Durrānī's children grouped around, it contains some good fretwork and inlaid inscriptions. Next to it is the mosque of the "Khirqah," sacred because it is said to contain the cloak of the Prophet Muhammad. About 4 miles (6.5 km) west of the present city, extending along the slopes of a rocky ridge and into the plain at its foot, are the ruins of old Kandahār, the earlier city that was sacked and plundered by the Iranian conqueror Nādir Shah in 1738. From the top of the ridge a small citadel overlooks the half-buried ruins. Within its walls is the garden of Baba Wali and a famous shrine that still attracts pilgrims. On the sharp northeast face of the hill, 40 giant steps cut out of the solid limestone lead upward to a small dome-roofed niche that contains inscriptions by the Mughal emperor Bābur, who built the steps, recording details of his empire and conquests. His grandson the emperor Akbar also added an inscription.
The area surrounding the city of Kandahār is irrigated farmland, and food processing is an important industry in the city, which also has textile factories, notably for wool. Traditionally the main export has been fruit, for which the Kandahār region is famous, particularly grapes, melons, and pomegranates. Other exports include cotton, madder, cuminseed, and asafetida. Pop. (2006 est.) 324,800.

Sony has announced a breakthrough in digital displays. The new OLED can wrap around a finger, while still displaying a fully functional display.
According to Trend Hunter, the display will be a 4.1-inch OLED display that integrates organic thin film transistors. It can be wrapped around something as small as 4mm in diameter.
There was no specific word on where this tech will fit in, but the possibilities are varied and far reaching. Imagine a newspaper where each page continues to change. But beyond the various uses for this technology, there is one simple fact that will keep this on our radar. It is very, very cool.
The display is still in production, so no word yet on when these displays will hit the market.

Microsoft CEO Nadella Hones His Axe
Jul 17, 2014 3:31 PM PT
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella on Thursday announced the elimination of 18,000 jobs -- roughly one in seven of the company's workforce -- in the next year.
About 12,500 of the positions eliminated will be at Nokia.
However, Microsoft will add jobs in "certain other strategic areas."
Microsoft's time span may be shorter than Nadella's statement indicated. The 18,000 cuts "will be done by the end of the year, with 13,000 announced today," Maria Newman of Microsoft's PR agency, Waggener-Edstrom, told the E-Commerce Times.
Nadella also is undertaking a sweeping restructuring of the company -- changing the technical expectations for each area, flattening out management, giving preference to people managers, and building lean, efficient business process and support models with greater trust between teams.
Making the Right Cuts
The layoffs were widely expected in the wake of Microsoft's acquisition of Nokia.
Nadella's challenge is to make sure they yield the maximum benefit to Microsoft.
The layoffs will work "if Microsoft does its homework and has truly identified redundancies or things that are part of the old structure that aren't needed in the new structure," Michael Cherry, senior analyst at Directions on Microsoft, told the E-Commerce Times.
To eliminate roles in some areas and add them in other, strategic areas, as Nadella plans to do, "might in some cases mean correctly moving people around internally," Cherry suggested.
Another issue to address is duplication of functionality in products such as Skype, Yammer and Lync. Redundancies might be eliminated through consolidation of features and work processes, Cherry said.
"That's where the challenges come from," Cherry pointed out.
"Are you cutting too broad a swath instead of being fine-grained enough to be effective?" he mused. "A couple of months ago, Microsoft revised their employee review system. Is that new system good enough to let them correctly identify people in their work roles?"
Fallout From the Layoffs
In addition to the risk that some good staff members who are integral to the organization may be laid off, employee morale overall may suffer, Laura DiDio, principal at ITIC, told the E-Commerce Times.
Some well-qualified, desirable staff may decide to leave on their own, which could hurt Microsoft.
"That's always a huge risk, and I'm sure some very good people will opt to leave, even if a chosen few get a retention bonus," DiDio said. "Look at what happened to Sun Microsystems when Oracle bought them -- all the smart engineers left."
Also, the cuts among Nokia staff could backfire. Current Nokia customers might be upset "because Microsoft may fail to convince them it can deliver the same top-notch product and service at competitive price points," DiDio suggested.
Dealing With Cultural Issues
Possibly an even bigger challenge is Nadella's attempt to change Microsoft's corporate culture.
"IBM effectively did this in the 1990s, but it is neither trivial nor easy," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times. "People don't like to change."
Altering the culture "generally requires large changes in staffing, particularly focused on those who can't or won't comply with the [new culture], and behavioral modification management practices that actively identify and correct employees' [nonconforming] behavior," he explained.
The skillset needed to do this is "very hard to find, and these efforts most often fail," Enderle cautioned. Microsoft might be better off retaining outside consultants.
On the other hand, "outside consultants come in at a big cost, and when people see them on premises it can raise the level of angst and drive down productivity," DiDio said.
Surviving the Challenge
Whether Microsoft emerges from the changes as a leaner, meaner entity that's more competitive will depend heavily on the execution, Enderle said. "Nadella has been executing well so far, but this is very difficult to pull off, and he is a new CEO."
On the other hand, Nadella "is blessed with one of the most experienced boards I know of, and he is clearly taking their advice," Enderle added. "The odds favor success, but it is by no means certain."

He sees them, on occasion, while jogging city streets — the vagrants, addicts and pushers who were part of Anthony Blue's past.
From the shadows, they watch him, all cleaned up and going somewhere, with suspicion.
"Blue? Is that you?"
"Of course it's me," he tells them. "I'm just not using now."
And he keeps on running.
On Saturday, Blue, once a skid-row junkie and drug dealer, will compete in the half-marathon in the Baltimore Running Festival. The man who used to run from the law now runs for a cause: The Helping Up Mission, his home since 2009.
At 51, Blue has turned his life around. Drug-free for 21/2 years, he has two steady jobs and a dream to get his own place, maybe even a car.
"Never had one before," he said.
Until then, his legs will carry him everywhere — including, he hopes, the finish line of Saturday's 13.1-mile race.
"I'm going to do my best to pull this off," he said. "I'm not running for speed or anything. It's just a goal that I've committed to. I'm going to run, walk and crawl, whatever it takes to get across the finish."
Last year he ran the 5K. For someone who was homeless for seven years, he said, the sense of accomplishment was overwhelming.
"I liked hearing the crowd. As I passed by, in my team's lime green shirt, they yelled, 'Go Mission!' " he said.
"It gave me a boost of energy to run, oh, at least 20 more feet."
Those who know Blue said they won't count him out this time around.
"He can do it, if he has the patience to pace himself," said Barry Burnett, captain of Team HUM and a staffer at the mission on East Baltimore Street. "Anthony is part of our group that gets out there at 5:30 in the morning to train — rain or shine."
When Blue finished the 5K in last year's festival, Burnett said, the light bulb came on. Blue knew what hard work could do.
"I remember the smile he had on his face afterward," Burnett said. "We are guys who've always doubted ourselves, failed so much and beaten ourselves up mentally. As runners, we find we can push ourselves past our comfort zones, go the extra mile and succeed where we never have before. Running helps us to believe in ourselves and to wonder if we have any limits."
It's a heady feeling for Blue, a graduate of Southern who used to roam the streets he now runs.
"I'd sleep wherever I could, in abandoned buildings with no windows, no heat," he said. "Before I lay down, I'd try to clean it up a little bit. If there was broken glass on the floor, I'd find a piece of cardboard and sweep it out of the way.
"I could have gone home at any time, knocked on the door and asked my mother for help. But I was caught up in my addiction and I didn't want her to see me like that."
Finally, Blue bottomed out. Hooked on opiates and saddled with both high blood pressure and asthma, he sought help.
It took him another 18 months to summon the courage to join the mission's running team.
"When you're coming out of the 'storm,' you start to get your physical abilities back," he said. "When I finally did suit up to run with them [before dawn], in a freezing drizzle, I saw everyone smiling. And I'm, like, what's going on? Why are they happy? But I liked it.
"You get into your groove, your running zone, and everything goes away. You're free-spirited. No worries. No nothing. You just get out and jog."
Blue continues to run despite working 70 hours a week as a floor technician at both University of Maryland Medical Center and BWI Marshall Airport.
"Anthony has blossomed here," said Tom Bond, program director at the mission. "When you first walk in this door and you want to move forward though your whole life has been napalmed behind you, it's a scary time. But this is a quiet, humble, hardworking guy with a lot of intestinal fortitude who has really grown over the last three years
"Recovery for all of us is a lifelong process. Along the way, we'll need all of the tools we can stick in our tool belt — and that includes running."
If you go
The 2012 Baltimore Running Festival runs through much of the morning Saturday. The starting time for the Baltimore Marathon and the Legg Mason Team Relay is 8 a.m. at the corner of Russell and Camden streets. The 5K runs begins at 8:15 a.m. at the corner of Paca and Pratt streets. The kids Fun Run is set for 9:20 a.m. (runners age 7 and under) and 9:30 a.m. (kids 8-12) at the Kids Fun Zone on Lot C at the stadium complex. The half-marathon begins at 9:45 a.m. at the corner of Conway and Light streets. Marathon runners should start arriving at the finish line around 10:15a.m. For more Iinformation, including a full events listing, go to: thebaltimoremarathon.com.

Moderators: Mr. Crackerz, JREED, Guybrush, 32
The lakers defense has looked really good this year. They can thank Mike Brown for that. However, their defense has looked awful this year (including in this game). They can blame Brown for that too.
Kobe is so clutch. Warriors have no momentum... at least Klay is having a solid game.

This whole Operation Rescue thing done by Rachel Maddow, in addition to the Justifiable Homicide in South Dakota for killing people that would do harm to a fetus aka Abortion Doctors... it's really been making me think.
We deem it okay to target Islamist clerics who use their speech to put death threats on people for "defacing their religion", but in the United States there has been no prosecution of Christians in this country for doing pretty much the same actions: Using fear of physical harm or death to get their way.
Is it moral for a person (believer or non-believer) to initiate the use of preventive force against a person who is using threats of violence or force to gain power?
When does this use of force become sanctioned? After example of violence in the past being linked to their speech? After significant danger is reported because of their speech? Or is it never sanctioned outside of law?
Views: 88
I think that if legal force could be relevant it would already have been applied. I am referring in this case to physical force, but maybe technological force as is being done across the globe at the moment would apply too, or monetary force, i.e. boycott could also apply.
However, I do not think that technological or monetary force would be a source for debate. I think most would agree that it is a peaceful form of protest. However, physical force carries with it the implication of violence and may cause a few gray areas, so for this particular discussion , I will limit it as such to physical force.
About, "Islamist clerics who use their speech to put death threats on people"
> There is really something beautiful happening in my country in the last five years.
# There are secular who are activists in human rights and their interest is to shut up the Islamist clerics mouth…They succeeded a little bit, but we still need more success from them.
# The government provided protection upon free thinker receives threat death threats..
# The government prevented scholars from issuing fatwas 3 months ago as well as blocking fatwa's sites.
# Saudi Arabia opens first mixed-gender university and it's okay not to wear hijab there...Saudi clerics protested why ? mixed-gender? The government has just spat on their faces.
# Secularists and free thinkers began writing in newspapers, appearing on the media and they receive high-level positions such as ministries and organizations..
Sorry for sliping a little bit away from the main topic...
About the Operation Rescue and Scott Roeder,
It was very interesting, I learned new things about Americans and what's going on there..
I liked and preferred your discussions about the "Operation Rescue and Scott Roeder"..
but, I didn't comment on the issue of Operation Rescue becaue it's not right for me to talk about americans issues since I'm a foreigner...
It's a kind of of showing respect in my opinion..
it's not right for me to talk about americans issues since I'm a foreigner...
You're way too kind. I'm not American, I've never been to the US, and I talk about them all the time. Try it, it's an exhilarating experience.
well, honestly hope, the discussion is not about Islamist clerics or Operation Rescue necessarily. The question is, do private citizens have the right to initiate physical force against those who would use threats of violence (that have been acted out by either independent cells or followers of the person making the threats) or use violence themselves in order to enact a political change through fear.
The important distinction being made is that the use of force by the private citizen is a reaction to threatening behavior made by those who seek power by use of violence.
Humans have always used violence to eliminate others we disagree with, some nations' rule of law has attempted to prevent such behaviour, like Western cultures, but have had little success. The USA power structure has been responsible for political assassinations in the past, domestically and internationally, and will continue to do so. Retaliatory violence to acts of violence is what Palestinians are doing to Israel, retaliatory violence is what a wife who kills her husband for years of physical abuse is doing. Our "thou shalt not kill" is a rule which favours the power elite, because our corrupt legal system protects those who can most afford protection. It is surprising such violence isn't more common. I have always suspected the meekness and obedience bred into religious sheople was to to prevent any kind of retaliatory violence to power structures. It is the very purpose of religion, to maintain a power structure.
The fact that it's nearly always progressives at the political murder/assassination end of the stick is sufficient evidence for that progressive thinkers generally find individual violence revolting (tho progressives find institutional violence much more acceptable), whereas conservatives and libertarians seem to find violence not quite so revolting (whether individual or institutional). This creates a social dichotomy, which as long as we have rules which many people don't fundamentally agree with will remain useless in our society.
One must ask the question, did rendering murder illegal actually reduce the number of deaths among humans? The hyper legalisation of our society brings much fewer benefits than the powers that be have us believe. Canadians live in a more 'obedient' culture than USA citizens, but our legal system is practically identical. But the Canadian identity was birthed in loyalty to the monarchy, whereas USA identity was forged in rebellion from monarchy. Isn't it ironic that a culture rejects one monarchy, to simply replace it with the monarchy of Christianity/money?
The only truly successful revolutions were violent ones. And if we continue to let sheople murder healthcare providers, they will eventually win, no matter what is "right" or "wrong" and no matter what the law says. Those who dare to eliminate the opposition always win. Daring is the ultimate deciding factor, not the law.
I think that in liberal democracies, where civil liberties are guaranteed, the rule of law should always prevail. I also think that civil disobedience should always remain as a last resort option, but it shouldn't be encouraged in its violent form - that's a very slippery slope. Self-appointed peacekeepers and vigilantes should remain where they belong - i.e., Hollywood studios.
Is it moral for a person to initiate the use of preventive force? It depends a lot on context, and on this person's personal assessment of the situation, which may be flawed: is this person the most qualified to evaluate the problem and fix it? If not, calling the police, alerting the press, raising public awareness one way or the other are certainly better options. But if there's none other, it's probably not as much a moral issue as a public safety one.
But possibly coulter was right, maybe if you kick one of their asses
And if Coulter is wrong, you can always kick her own ass for being wrong.
Although the problem with Coulter is, you can't be sure which end of her digestive is the ass. It would be simpler if she did wear glasses: if you see the glasses, the ass is at the other end (otherwise, it's a fucking monocle you'd see.)
you can't be sure which end of her digestive

Hall Inductee Elmers a Veteran FMCA Member
April 19, 2013 by RVBusiness Comments Off on Hall Inductee Elmers a Veteran FMCA Member
The RV/MH Hall of Fame in Elkhart, Ind., recently announced that RV industry pioneer Kirwan Elmers will be inducted as a member of the class of 2013 during an induction dinner on Aug. 5.
In a press release, the Family Motor Coach Association (FMCA) noted that Elmers has been a long-time family and commercial member of the Cincinnati, Ohio-based organization, currently marking its 50th anniversary.
He attended the July 1963 FMCA meeting of "house car" owners where the decision was made to form the organization for those who enjoyed traveling by motorized recreation vehicles, now known as motorhomes. Elmers also served as a member of FMCA's Commercial Council for many years, including as president from 1990 to 1999.
"Kirwan's induction into the RV/MH Hall of Fame is long overdue," commented FMCA national president Charlie Schrenkel. "He has been a true pioneer in the RV industry whose contributions merited recognition by his peers. We are proud that Kirwan has been associated with FMCA for so many years, and we congratulate him on this honor."
Two other motorhome industry leaders and FMCA supporters also will be inducted into the RV/MH Hall of Fame as part of the class of 2013 – the late C.M. Fore, founder of Foretravel Motorhomes, and the late Mat Perlot, founder of Safari Motorhomes.
In 1955, Elmers and his father, Miles, founded Custom Coach Corp., based in Columbus, Ohio. Custom Coach became a division of Columbus-based Farber Specialty Vehicles in 2002, but Elmers continued to be involved in the operation of the company until his retirement in 2012.
He and his father developed the first commercially converted motor coaches designed for private use. The company's custom conversions provide celebrities, traveling executives and RV families with permanent or temporary residences.
The company's many well-known clients brought recognition to the motorhome lifestyle. For instance, the company provided 22 "Big Mac" coaches for Ray Kroc, founder of McDonalds, as well as coaches for the late Dave Thomas, founder of Wendy's, among myriad other corporate clients. Custom Coach conversions have even been used as "anchors" for the Goodyear blimps.
Custom Coach's celebrity clients have included Lee Greenwood, Loretta Lynn, Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Conway Twitty, Ray Charles, Clint Eastwood and sportscaster John Madden.
The clientele list also includes true royalty, as the royal family of Saudi Arabia has purchased a number of the company's conversions over the years. The last of the family's 21 45-foot Custom Coach conversions were delivered by air to Dubai, the capital.

Team Prenda Shows Up In Court, Pleads The Fifth... Angry Judge Ends Hearing In 12 Minutes
from the extinction-level-event dept
From various reports from inside the courtroom, it appears that the Judge asked various questions and was not at all pleased with the decision by Team Prenda to clam up, noting that he would "draw reasonable inferences" from the "facts as I know them." Judge Wright's attempts to find out more information to support or rebut the facts as he knows them apparently did not go well. He asked about Alan Cooper, and got not response. He asked about who made the decision to not disclose to the court Prenda's financial interests in the outcome, and was told by the lawyer representing Prenda that "there's no evidence" that this was the case, which only upset the judge more. He asked the lawyer if she had even read Hansmeier's deposition. It didn't take the judge long to decide this was a waste of time, and based on his statements, it appears he's convinced that Prenda was up to no good, and will rule accordingly.
That's the quick nuts and bolts. Ken White is busy at work on a deeper dive analysis, which we'll post when ready. His short summary on what to expect? "Holy shit" and that this is an "extinction-level event" for Prenda. Stay tuned for more...

During prolonged firing, the heat from the rifle can affect the carrying handle and cause serious burns to your hands. I've actually (stupidly) gripped the barrel of my M16 during training after only forty shots, and it burns. Now in actual combat, you can imagine the type of damage gripping the carrying handle could do.

Deficit Jumps in Trump's First Fiscal Year
The federal budget deficit rose by 16 percent in the first nine months of the 2018 fiscal year, which began last October. The shortfall came to $607 billion, compared to $523 billion in the same period the year before, according to a U.S. Treasury report released Thursday and reported by Bloomberg. Both revenue and spending rose, but spending rose faster. Revenues came to $2.54 trillion, up 1.3 percent from the same nine-month period in 2017, while spending came to $3.15 trillion, up 3.9 percent.
Chart of the Week: Lowering Medicare Drug Prices
The U.S. could save billions of dollars a year if Medicare were empowered to negotiate drug prices directly with pharmaceutical companies, according to a paper published by JAMA Internal Medicine earlier this week. Researchers compared the prices of the top 50 oral drugs in Medicare Part D to the prices for the same drugs at the Department of Veterans Affairs, which negotiates its own prices and uses a national formulary. They found that Medicare's total spending was much higher than it would have been with VA pricing.
In 2016, for example, Medicare Part D spent $32.5 billion on the top 50 drugs but would have spent $18 billion if VA prices were in effect – or roughly 45 percent less. And the savings would likely be larger still, Axios's Bob Herman said, since the study did not consider high-cost injectable drugs such as insulin.
Why Craft Brewers Are Crying in Their Beer
It may be small beer compared to the problems faced by unemployed federal workers and the growing cost for the overall economy, but the ongoing government shutdown is putting a serious crimp in the craft brewing industry. Small-batch brewers tend to produce new products on a regular basis, The Wall Street Journal's Ruth Simon says, but each new formulation and product label needs to be approved by the Treasury Department's Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, which is currently closed. So it looks like you'll have to wait a while to try the new version of Hemperor HPA from Colorado's New Belgium Brewing, a hoppy brew that will include hemp seeds once the shutdown is over.
Number of the Day: $30 Billion
The amount spent on medical marketing reached $30 billion in 2016, up from $18 billion in 1997, according to a new analysis published in the Journal of the American Medical Association and highlighted by the Associated Press. The number of advertisements for prescription drugs appearing on television, newspapers, websites and elsewhere totaled 5 million in one year, accounting for $6 billion in marketing spending. Direct-to-consumer marketing grew the fastest, rising from $2 billion, or 12 percent of total marketing, to nearly $10 billion, or a third of spending. "Marketing drives more treatments, more testing" that patients don't always need, Dr. Steven Woloshin, a Dartmouth College health policy expert and co-author of the study, told the AP.
70% of Registered Voters Want a Compromise to End the Shutdown
An overwhelming majority of registered voters say they want the president and Congress to "compromise to avoid prolonging the government shutdown" in a new The Hill-HarrisX poll. Seven in ten respondents said they preferred the parties reach some sort of deal to end the standoff, while 30 percent said it was more important to stick to principles, even if it means keeping parts of the government shutdown. Voters who "strongly approve" of Trump (a slim 21 percent of respondents) favored him sticking to his principles over the wall by a narrow 54 percent-46 percent margin. Voters who "somewhat approve" of the president favored a compromise solution by a 70-30 margin. Among Republicans overall, 61 percent said they wanted a compromise.
The survey of 1,000 registered voters was conducted January 5 and 6 and has a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points.

(BLOOMINGTON) - Green Meadows Charter School is awaiting approval from Ball State University to proceed with the planning of the school, which aims to teach children through the arts and focus on sustainability.
The Office of Charter Schools at BSU hosted a public discussion at the Monroe County Public Library to share the school's proposed mission and beliefs as well as hear opinions from the public.
"We will have social justice and environmental sustainability as a big part of our school," said, Mary Goral, who would be Green Meadows' director of education if it is approved. "We believe that students need to know how to become stewards of the earth and not in a way that scares them, but in a way that they learn to love the earth. So they need to learn to love the earth first before they are asked to save it. "
Megan Smith, a graduate student at the Indiana University School of Education, shared her desire to eventually work for a school like Green Meadows and explained the benefits of keeping students and teachers better connected for several school years.
"A class would start with one teacher in first grade and stay with the same teacher until third grade. I think that really gives a real since of community," said Smith. "They get to know their teacher and the teacher really understands the students as individuals."
Others expressed concerns that the school could pull resources away from other public schools in the Monroe County School Corporation.
A statement from MCCSC Superintendent of Schools Dr. Judith DeMuth, who was not in attendance because of a school board meeting, pointed out how the new school could negatively affect MCCSC students.
MCCSC is slated to receive approximately $5,400 in state funding for each enrolled student, so removing 200 students from the traditional school system would result in a loss of more than $1 million for the corporation.
"My major concerns are the unintended consequences that come with choice," former MCCSC school board member Valerie Merriam said at the meeting. "They have a lot of wonderful ideas and most of their ideas are incorporated within the MCCSC now at any number of our schools. But anytime you take away over $1 million from the corporation, that will result in the cuts probably 20 teachers or so, you are going to impact programs."
Ball State University will review the information gathered at the discussion and expects to make a decision by mid-October. Pending approval, Green Meadows plans to open for the 2015-2016 school year.

Associated Press
CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) - Former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford's hopes for a political comeback are now in the hands of coastal South Carolina voters.
Sanford is 1 of 16 Republicans vying in Tuesday's special GOP primary in the state's 1st Congressional District.
It's his first election since he disappeared from the state while governor in 2009 and then returned to admit an affair with an Argentine woman to whom he is now engaged. Another Republican candidate is Teddy Turner, the son of media magnate Ted Turner.
There are two candidates in the Democratic primary. One is Elizabeth Colbert Busch, the sister of comedian Stephen Colbert.
The 1st District seat became vacant last year when Republican Gov. Nikki Haley appointed then-congressman Tim Scott to the U.S. Senate seat of Republican Jim DeMint, who resigned.

And thus Old Rhino will be dragged back to his villianous persona.
This issue was well done, but it looks like a pretty cliche story overall.
by Punchy » Thu Jan 14, 2010 10:28 amThis was one of the best Spider-Man issues since OMD, and for a book that's been decent on the whole, that's saying something, really strong.

As I said, didn't care at all for the art in the first story. Different strokes.

by fieldy snuts » Thu Jan 14, 2010 9:45 pmMy 2 cents:
I've felt Kelly's ASM issues have all been solid ever since his Hammerhead arc. His over-the-top tone on scenes have always made reading his stories a a treat. He brings so much to the new supporting cast in the moments we see them....it feels like quirky Bendis type banter only it doesnt go on for pages in little one word sentence like that one sometimes goes. Basically it has a tighter feel and keeps the story flowing nicely. Norah is definitely a good addition to the cast and he even makes Michelle tolerable.
The Rhino in this issue was not what I expected, I knew there would be a new Rhino popping up thanks to future solicits but I didnt expect this take on the old version where Alexy seems to be trying to get his life back on track after busting through banks with a horn on his head for a living. Even refusing to be baited into a fight by the new Rhino (who I'm still on the fence about till i see him/her/it fleshed out a bit more).
Part of the over-the-top stuff I mentioned above also became part of the scene where new Rhino grabs a horse and beats Alexy over the head with it hard enough to make the thing splatter resulting in a panel of blood. Not many writers can pull that off without it being corny, in this case it worked.
The epilogue with Spidey giving Alexy life-pointers to not throw his new life with his wife (debut in this issue) away was also moving and showed that despite Peter Parker's personal life being in the dumps due to his shitty luck and attempting to juggle heroics and personallife together he does at least know whats up in that department...though obviously his feeling that Spider-Man is needed for the greater good obviously takes precedence and he chooses to sacrifice so much to help people has been one of the big factors in BND Spidey.
The Backup story was a great little addition that showed how Alexy came to his current choice in lifestyle, his motivations and how he came to be married. Genuinely a truly touching story that did a great job of conveying the backstory on Alexy prior to this issue. Though this happy story doesnt seem like it'll last given that in a while he'll put on the horn again.
Art was great, loved it and it was a great change from the retro style that was prevalent over the last few months. Not really familiar with Fimura but I was happy with it.
Overall top notch work in a standalone story that is a bit of a rarity these days. My verdict:
Minor nitpick: Like I said in my post prior to this review, the thing that throws me about the Rhino is writers either writing him full-blown Russian or American-Russian. Fractions Punisher had him decidedly American, the Rhino story in some Defalco short story in (I think ASM #600) had him talking in badly broken English, the way the words were structured in this issue i got the off-the-boat immigrant dialect. Before this from what little i remember it was always a kinda American accent from the slang and speech mannerisms. Was it always like this?

Tomasini Grinover Overtakes To Lead Melges 32 European Championship
18 July 2014
Riva Del Garda, Italy - After two days, six races and one discard, Roberto Tomasini Grinover and his Robertissima team have effectively moved into first place overall at the 2014 Melges 32 European Championship, three points ahead of now runner-up Valentin Zavadnikov's Synergy GT.
Richard Goransson's Helly Hansen Inga From Sweden made great progress with a 9-1-3 finish to move up to third overall, just ahead of the fleet newcomer Claudia Rossi on Wilma. Japan's Naofumi Kamei on Mamma Aiuto! rounds out the top five.
Going into the second day of racing, current event leader Tomasini Grinover sat in second overall, just behind Zavadnikov in first. Clearly, Tomasini Grinover had a plan for Day Two in Riva aimed at taking over the lead. It was a well-executed performance on a day of beautiful breeze and steady conditions, enabling him to cash in a 2-2-1 result card - placing him the lead position.
Kamei came out swinging on the first race of the day to win, ahead of Tomasini Grinover in second and Zavadnikov in third.
Race two of the day was by far the most dramatic, with plenty of speed off of the starting line and Tomasini Grinover in full-on supersonic overdrive, leading the fleet around the course until the last run to the finish. Throughout the race Goransson and Zavadnikov kept Tomasini Grinover close, looking for just the right moment to advance. On the final run, Goransson with tactician Morgan Larson, picked up speed when it counted most to cross the finish line first. Tomasini Grinover took second with Zavadnikov in third.
In the last race of the day, Tomasini Grinover put the pedal down once more, this time securing the win. Alessandro Rombelli's Azimut by STIG rocketed to a nice second place finish, followed by Goransson in third.
Three more races are schedule for Saturday, the third day of the Championship with an on-time start.
As with other Melges 32 events in Europe and around the world, racing updates will be posted online at the Official Audi Melges 32 Facebook Page. Tune in for the latest racing information, results, video interviews, and photos. Race reports, press releases and photos will be available online each day post racing at melges32.com.
TOP TEN RESULTS (After Three Races)

Karim Arbaji has just been sentenced to three years in prison for defending human rights in Syria. Meanwhile, the Syrian blogosphere is bustling with posts advocating admirable and worthy campaigns. There's the astounding campaign against masturbation, the noble Blogging Week for Moral Decay, and the enlightening campaign for Blogging Against Fossilized Thinking.
The background of this story is this post by Abu Fares, a response ridiculing the infamous call for a campaign against masturbation. The commentators on that post eventually came up with their own ideas for random blogging campaigns. In essence to further mock that blogger, and the perceived religious bloggers he's associated with.
I have to say that upon reading about the anti-masturbation campaign I cracked up. Also, I posted about it on Global Voices, sans-sarcasm. Some people were amused by the idea and tweeted the link of the article and a friend of mine wrote to me saying that the campaigner is likely to have a crowd supporting his campaign that you could fit in a phone booth. So, many people find – me included – that idea outrageous, But does that warrant the ridicule of the blogger? Does that make it ok to put aside all the great words and thoughts I've seen many Syrian bloggers write on each of their blogs to combine forces to fight this supposed "common enemy" called religiousness?

I'd like to nominate like 90% of the things Taiga says, but my favorites have got to be:
"I dreamt that you were a dog. And the dog was my husband. Anyway, it was the worst dream ever."
"Well, I'd better get back to my seat. The unmarried woman with her unmarried face is about to come to start the unmarried homeroom."
"I saw it! She has six boobs!"
Oh Taiga. You're so awesome.

Sample Calculations II
1. Make a 50 ml agarose gel of 0.8% that is 0.5X TBE. The TBE (Tris FW = 121.1, Borate FW = 61.8, EDTA FW = 372) stock is 10X.
2. You have a 150X stock of buffer and you need 2.5 ml of 1X. How do
you make this?
3. You have a DNA solution that is 21.3 µg/µl and you want 75 µl that is 50 ng/µl. How do you make this?
4. Make 350 ml of a solution that is 25 mM Tris, 2.5 mM EDTA, and the pH is 8.0.
Tris is a base and the FW of Tris is 121.1 and EDTA is 187. Do not make a volume that exceeds 350 ml!!
5. Make two solutions of 100 ml each: A is 125 mM Na2HPO4. 7H2O (FW = 268) and B is 0.25 M NaH2PO4 (FW = 120). When you mix them in this ratio (2 parts water, 1 part A, and 0.5 parts B) what will the final molarity be for each one in this mixture?
6. Make 200 ml of a 15 mM Tris, 50 mM EDTA, and 0.03 M NaCl from stock solutions that are 1M Tris, 0.5 M EDTA, and 5000 mM NaCl.
7. You are making a PCR mixture that will be 1 X of all reagents and the final volume will be 200 µl. How do you with these stocks?
8. The protocol calls for a solution that is 1.5 % (w/v) NaCl, 2mM Tris
(pH 8.0), 7% (w/v) powdered milk (you think I'm making this up?), and 0.02%
(v/v) antifoam A. Is it possible to make this solution? If so, how?

|Led Zeppelin - The Song Remains The Same - Blu-ray and HD DVD
|Tuesday, 02 October 2007
Home Video is pleased to announce the release of Led-Zeppelin: The Song
Remains The Same [Special Edition] on standard DVD on Monday November
19th, followed by HD and Blu Ray on Monday November 26th, 2007. The
Song Remains The Same will be released by Rhino UK as a 2-CD Digipack
on November 19th.
"We have re-visited The Song Remains The Same," says guitarist Jimmy
Page, "and can now offer the complete set as played at Madison Square
Garden. This differs substantially from the original soundtrack
released in 1976, and highlights the technical prowess of Kevin
Shirley, who worked with us on How The West Was Won. When it comes to
The Song Remains The Same, the expansion of the DVD and soundtrack are
as good as it gets on the Led Zeppelin wish list."
This brand new digitally remastered edition of The Song Remains The Same features, for the first time, all 14 songs from the original concert. The DVD features newly remixed and re-mastered 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround Sound and boasts more than 40 minutes of added bonus material.
Rare extras includes four additional songs, Misty Mountain Hop and The Ocean, plus two never-before-released songs in rare performance footage; Over The Hills And Far Away and Celebration Day; a rare 1976 BBC interview with Robert Plant and Jimmy Page; vintage TV footage from the Drake Hotel robbery during the New York concert stand, a Led Zeppelin interview on the Cameron Crowe radio show, plus more rare interviews and rarities.

A liberal arts education promotes informed, engaged citizenship. At Gettysburg, one of the most popular outlets for meaningful engagement with the world around you is community service.
Each year more than 1,400 students get involved in community service, offering more than 30,000 hours of their time working with the homeless, mentoring at-risk youth, and assisting in countless other ways. Many take place in the town of Gettysburg, while others are in Washington, DC, New Orleans, Alabama, Mexico, Nicaragua, Argentina, and other parts of the world.
The Center for Public Service coordinates the community service programs at Gettysburg. It challenges students to "think critically and act compassionately" through a variety of programs.

Custom Cremation Urn - Stoneware Cremains Jar - RAIN
PLEASE - Make sure to read the entire listing description before making your purchase. Reading all information and instructions in listing description is necessary to make sure you understand how to order your memorial item correctly and to insure that you receive a memorial piece that meets your expectations. Please make sure to include all necessary information in the buyer notes section as requested below. Not doing so may delay the completion time of your order.
SIZE of URN is not based on the weight of the cremains. It is based on the IDEAL WEIGHT OF YOUR LOVED ONE when they were living.
PRICE INCLUDES SHIPPING (within US) AND INSURANCE
Keep your loved one close in a custom, handcrafted, one of a kind, Cremation Urn. I make these one at a time; keeping in mind that someday they may bring some peace and comfort to someone who has felt the loss of a beloved family member, friend or pet.
These urns can be purchased in a large enough size to inter the entire amount of your loved-one's cremains or just a small amount as a keepsake.
My unique method of creating these Urns produces a safe, secure container that isn't easily spilled. These urns are one piece and have no removable lid. Your loved-one's cremains are placed in a niche in the bottom of the Urn and a natural (in some cases, hand cut) cork is added to seal the vessel (cork included).
This Urn has two parts although the piece is one unit. The bottom is the Urn and will be sealed at the bottom with a cork, while the top part is open at the top as a vase. The top is separated from the bottom so you can have water for flowers in the top part and yet the cremains are kept safe, sealed and dry in the bottom.
See below for my NAMEPLATE link and for a link to my STONEWARE NICHE COVERS for exterior use.
* Choose the correct Urn size - Based on the live, ideal weight of your loved-one (will affect the price)
* The ideal weight of your loved one when they were alive (if you are going to inter all of your loved one's cremains in this urn).
* Your glaze color choice(s) from the swatch photo. (Other colors may be available upon request).
(You may also notice from the swatch photo that you can also choose to have your urn unglazed either with a solid clay color or a mixed clay color (on wheel-thrown urns the mixed clay colors will show up in a spiral/swirled pattern because of the way they turn on the pottery wheel).
(Glaze colors on sample urn photos may or may not still be available. Please reference swatch photo when choosing glaze colors).
(Unless otherwise requested, Speckled Brownstone Clay will be used for your urn. Feel free to request a swatch photo of glazes on White Clay (which makes the above glazes look brighter) or Dark Brown Clay (which makes the above glazes look darker).
If you would like an ENGRAVED NAMEPLATE for your urn instead of a cork, please purchase the following listing (urns with top corks would receive both cork and nameplate). I can provide you with a round nameplate for you to attach to the bottom of your urn. It would cover the hole in the bottom of the urn after the cremains are interred into the urn.
If you would like a STONEWARE NICHE COVER instead of a cork so you can USE YOUR URN OUTDOORS, please purchase the following listing.
This listing is for a handmade, custom item. It is not possible for your custom urn to be exactly like the one(s) in the sample photos. The sample photos represent the general style.
This item will be made upon purchase. PLEASE ALLOW UP TO 6 WEEKS for your order to be completed. Larger size urns may need extra completion time. Please see my "Ready To Ship Urns" section if you need something quicker.
PRICE INCLUDES SHIPPING (within the US) AND INSURANCE
Please contact me for INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING RATE
Please let me know if you have any further questions about choosing an urn size.
I am very sorry for your loss.
SALES TAX: Alabama residents pay sales tax.
On combined orders, if I was able to ship your order for less than estimated, I will refund the difference via Paypal.
For order turn around time please see your item listing description. Shipping times will vary. Orders around the holiday season may take longer so make sure to plan ahead.
I ship internationally on items that give an international shipping amount in the listing.
I can not be responsible for items confiscated by customs when shipped internationally. Please check with your customs office before purchasing an item.

"What an awesome day at London Comic Con."
David Medcraft
"What a wonderful experience! The guys were so sweet and got me from my area all the way to the shoot making sure the whole time I was comfortable and anticipating the shoot. "
Rebecca Greening
"My name is Karin, I had a shoot with SCG at LSCC 2013. Being very inexperienced in photoshoots I was really nervous, but working with the SCG guys was a lot of fun. They gave very clear direction and made me feel at ease (despite the freeeezing cold!). They clearly enjoy what they do and I couldn't be happier with the final result. Fantastic pictures, brilliant editing, and a really great bunch of guys."
Karin McClure
"I had an outside shoot with the SCG crew at LSCC 2013. Even in the cold and biting wind they were professional, knew what they were doing and made the whole experience fun."
Mark Lloyd
"The booking for the photo shoots was very easy & arranged for a mutually suitable time without a problem."

Aluminum pie tins, toilet paper rolls and all kinds of plastic packaging have been accumulating for weeks at the homes of obsessive recyclers, but relief is in sight.
Durangos new single-stream recycling system is set to begin Monday with curbside pickup.
Anticipation has been building since the city started delivering the new 60- and 90-gallon containers in mid-January.
By the time collection begins, (some residents) will have had their containers for two weeks, said Mary Beth Miles, the citys sustainability coordinator. They will likely have lots of items stacked up in there.
Weve had a lot of residents say, Wow, we didnt know we would be able to recycle this much, she said.
City Councilor Sweetie Marbury said she has so many recyclables that she cant squeeze them all into her 60-gallon container. She will have to wait for the following week to put the rest out.
The city has made it so easy to recycle, Marbury said. Im in heaven.
With single stream, the city will be able to take more kinds of cardboard as well as plastic types 1-7, which includes yogurt and pet-food containers and the clear plastic packaging for a wall charger. Glass, however, cant be included because it could shatter and contaminate the other recyclables.
In anticipation of single stream, Marbury has gotten in the habit of looking at the bottom of plastic to see what number it is. On Thursday, she brought home her plastic cup for iced tea from a Kiwanis Club meeting so she could recycle it.
The communitys response to the single-stream program has been fabulous, Miles said.
Residents have requested all of the 2,000 containers the city initially ordered. As of Thursday, 12 people were on a waiting list for the next batch of containers, which the city expects to deliver in March.
Of the initial 2,000, the city still had 400 containers to distribute as of Thursday. All containers are expected to be delivered by Saturday.
Whether they have a container or not, all city households will be charged a $3 monthly fee for the single-stream service beginning in March, but residents wont be charged until April because bills are for the previous months service.
County residents and people who take their recyclables to the Durango Recycling Center on Tech Drive will be charged a $1 fee once improvements to the facility are completed later this spring.
The current drop-off sites in town north City Market, Wagon Wheel Liquors and the Fort Lewis College physical plant will stay in place until May or June, or whenever the improvements are completed at the Recycling Center.
During the transition, the city will put out single-stream containers at the drop-off sites so residents wont have to sort their materials except for glass. Eventually, however, these drop-off sites will accept only glass to encourage people to use curbside recycling or to take their material to the Recycling Center.

Usual Scenarios of Property Partition:
Case No.1 – The one or both the parents passed away.Children are left with properties in the name of the parents. How can they subdivided these properties and registered the same in their names.
Case No. 2 – The parents already died. One of the children wants to transfer the properties of his parents to himself but other siblings do not agree.
The first case can be solved by execution of an deed of extra-judicial partition. This can be done if the requirements stated in Rule 74 Section 1 of the Rules of Court are present:
1. The decedent (parents who died) left no will.
2. The decedent left no debts, or if there were debts left, all had been paid.
3. The heirs (children) are all of age, or if they are minors, the latter are represented by their judicial guardian or legal representatives.
4. The partition was made by means of a public instrument or affidavit duly filed with the Register of Deeds.
The affidavit must be executed by the heirs and must contain the necessary allegations to support a valid extrajudicial settlement of estate. The affidavit shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation, once a week for three (3) consecutive weeks.
For a sample of a Deed of Extra judicial Partition, email email@example.com
In the second case, the child who demands that the properties of his dead parents should be partitioned and distributed to the heirs may file an ordinary action for partition under Rule 69 of the Rules of Court. Under the said rule, a person having the right to compel partition of real estate may file a complaint in the Regional Trial Court (RTC) of the province where the real property or part thereof is located. If several distinct parcels of land are situated in different provinces, venue may be laid in the RTC of any of said provinces.
The complaint for partition shall set forth the nature and extent of the complainant's title and an adequate description of the real estate of which partition is demanded and joining as defendants all other persons interested in the property (Section 1, Rule 69 Rules of Court).
For a sample of a Petition for Judicial Partition, email firstname.lastname@example.com

Elyse's Southwest Style Loft
Name: Elyse
Location: The Brewery — Downtown Los Angeles, California
Walking into Elyse's loft reminds me of entering my high school cafeteria for the first time. It's vast, there's a lot to take in, the jocks, drama geeks and potheads (or in this case, kitchen, office and bedroom) have each staked out their own territory with just enough spillover to keep me on my toes, and I'm not quite sure I'm cool enough to be there.
Elyse is a jewelry designer and artist. Her home, like her art, is an exercise in contradiction: expansive yet efficient, industrial but natural. Huge, bulbous balloon sculptures, filled with her own breath, have--over time--withered and evolved to saggy artsy grandparents. Shiny urethane-dipped earrings hang next to geode necklaces that she calls "nature's surprise."
When she moved into the "Beverly Hills" of the Brewery complex (more spacious, better views) in 2009, she gutted most of the loft to install a new kitchen and an upstairs living area. Upstairs is bright and has a relaxing, natural, southwest vibe filled with unexpected touches. Even her closet's doorknobs are made from polished round stones. Downstairs is all business; the front area is for showing jewelry and art projects, and in back, the kitchen and double-desk, double-computer office area would make any studio-dweller's heart twinge with jealousy.
Everywhere you look there's a surprise: a wax head lying on a bookshelf, a collection of antique cameras, but the best part about Elyse's loft is the air. It feels creative, electric with great ideas.
