It doesn't take a relationship counselor to see it: In our reviews and others, Windows and touch-screen tablets don't have the best reputation for getting along. As we saw with Fujitsu's admirable attempt—the $849 Stylistic Q550 Slate PC—at massaging Windows 7 to run on tablet hardware, Windows itself is the problem, not the hardware. While Windows does run well enough, with ample speed and performance, once you start to evaluate touch and multi-touch gesture interpretation, you quickly see that Windows is something of a graceless clod. Hence, manufacturers that have ventured into the Windows-slate market have found it necessary to include a digital pen or stylus to help make touch navigation less frustrating.
Leave it to Samsung, a company that has mastered the Android-based tablet with three outstanding models (the Galaxy Tab, Galaxy Tab 8.9, and Galaxy Tab 10.1) to take the most impressive stab at the Windows-slate market so far. Enter the Samsung Series 7 11.6″ Slate. Instead of trying to squeeze Windows 7 onto a slate running tablet-grade hardware, such as the 1.5GHz Intel Atom Z670 processor found in the Fujitsu Stylistic Q550, the Series 7 uses Intel's second-generation "Sandy Bridge" 1.6GHz Core i5-2467M mobile processor, which is much more suitable for running Windows 7.
See the review at Computer Shopper.
HP let me look at this exceptional little 12.5-inch notebook. I have to say that, except that it's a power hog, I really liked this machine. See the review at ComputerShopper.com
Tablets are hitting the market at a break-neck speed, and man are they in no way created equal. The Fujitsu Stylistic Q550 Slate PC comes with a load of great features and runs Windows 7 Professional. I ran Photoshop and Illustrator on it without incident and was overall impressed with this device.

Since my last post on upgrading from Vista to Windows 7, I (and many others) have experienced a number of snafus, ranging from the mildly annoying, to disastrous. In any case, the upgrade issues that arise during and after the upgrade process are at the least frustrating and incredible time wasters.
In last week's Communication Technology Watch post about the upgrade experience, Installing Windows 7 – Not so Easy, I recounted some of the issues I encountered during the upgrade. Today we'll look at some of the residual problems I have had to spend a few hours figuring out.
Compatibility Issues
During the upgrade process, Windows 7 checks to see if any of your programs are incompatible. Well, it did that for me, but missed one. After the upgrade finished, I started having trouble with my Internet connection. Windows 7 couldn't communicate with the Windows 7 validation or Windows Update servers. I kept getting errors telling me that my serial number couldn't validate; I should call Microsoft (eh!). Thinking that maybe a Win 7 update might solve the problem, I ran Windows Update, only to get an error telling me that either the Windows servers were too busy or there was something wrong with my firewall. Also, I could no longer download files successfully from my browser. The download would go all the way to the end, give me a message that I had one second left, and then hang. The few times the files did download successfully, they were corrupt.
None of the Troubleshooter solutions worked. I was pulling my hair out. I was beginning to think that the upgrade had failed, and was just getting ready to install Win 7 fresh on another computer. As a last ditch, I decided to go through my running services. To my dismay, I found an old antivirus program running that had been disabled for at least a year.
Attempts to stop the service or install the program proved futile. All the service control options, Start, Stop, Automatic, Manual, and Disable, were grayed out. During the uninstall process, I got an error that the program could only be uninstalled under XP or Vista. I was starting to think I was screwed.
I was able to stop the service in Safe Mode, but still can't get it uninstalled.
Peripheral Woes
Within a day or two after the upgrade, I started having trouble with some peripherals and my video adaptor. My Logitech Bluetooth keyboard and mouse began disconnecting intermittently and some graphics programs wouldn't display properly. It seems that, even though Windows 7 drivers are available for these devices, the upgrade utility decided to use the same Vista drivers already installed on my computer. Now that, my friends, is just downright neglect on Microsoft's part.
Complaints from the World at Large
Apparently, my problems so far are fairly minor, compared to what some others are reporting. Checkout this link to cio.com for some real upgrade problems:
A survey over at Gizmodo reports that about 20 percent of the upgrades have been troublesome. This is surely much better than the Vista release, but still, one in five!
William Harrel – www.williamharrel.com
After over 20 years of Windows upgrade snafus, I have been running Windows 7 beta on a duel boot machine, just to be safe. Whenever my friends, colleagues, and clients ask me about upgrading to a new version of Windows, my advice is always, "Wait until it has been out for awhile and updated a few times." Not once have I upgraded a Windows machine without at least one or two annoying, and sometimes catastrophic debacles. However, after reading all the rave reviews about how easy and stable the upgrade has been for everybody else, I decided to give it a try. My experience, though not disastrous, was not without incident, and certainly not smooth enough to sing Microsoft's praises.
In Context
Windows 7 is nice–well, nicer than Vista–but hardly anything to get aroused over. Everybody seems to like it, but some reviewers are not overly impressed. Here's a luke warm preview from Communications Technology Watch with links to several other not-so-impressed reviews:
However, when you compare Windows 7 to Vista, it truly shines. Check out this review from Engaget:
So, if the new OS isn't wonderful, why bother? In my case, the decision was simple. I wanted to ditch Vista. After a few years of running it, I was still having annoying performance issues, weird crashes, problems with IE, and so on. I figured that even if I did have a few problems with the Windows 7 installation, chances were they'd be worth it. Anything to finally get rid of Vista!
Hardware and Software Compatibility
Like most people, my PCs are mission critical. I run several applications that if, even for a few days, I had to do without them, I'd be dead in the water. My experience with Windows upgrades has been that at least one or two programs don't work properly, and some of my hardware devices, such as backup drives and printers, are not recognized. (Since much of my work requires my computers to do some heavy lifting, such as Flash, Indesign, and Photoshop, I keep my machines pretty modern, loaded with RAM, hard disk space and the latest video interfaces.)
All of this is to say, that I wanted to do everything possible to make sure my machine was Windows 7-compatible before I upgraded. My first stop was the Microsoft Website to look for known compatibility issues. At the the Windows 7 Compatibility Center I found a link to the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, a download you can run on your Vista machine to make sure all your hardware and software are Windows 7 compatible.
Great! This should make things easier. Right?
Hmmm… Well, no. I tried to download and run the application several times, but kept getting an error that a required component was missing. Frankly, I didn't try to run down whether the application was faulty or whether it was looking for something in my Vista configuration. What I can tell you is that I was running Vista with Service Pack 2 and all the latest patches. In typical Microsoft fashion, there was no other information–just the name of the missing component, with no instructions on how to solve the problem.
(Ok. Yes, I know how to Google errors and figure out the problem. But I wasn't about to go to all that trouble to run this utility. Besides, I recalled a similar utility for Vista that I had trouble with, and, once I got it working, it wasn't all that accurate, anyway.)
My computer is fairly new. It has plenty of RAM and drive space, a recent video adaptor. I figured I was safe on that account. My printers and software are all industry standard. What the hell, I decided to roll the dice.
Ready, Set, Install!
After about 5-10 minutes of churning away, checking my computer for compatibility issues, the Windows 7 installation utility gave me a check list of tasks I needed to perform before the installation could continue. My only option was cancel the installation and perform the required tasks. The tasks were:
- Decommission my computer from iTunes and uninstall the iTunes program.
- Uninstall Windows Mobile Device Center
- Uninstall a couple of Dell diagnostic utilities.
- Restart Windows
Not so seamless, right? At least it didn't want me to uninstall all my Adobe and Microsoft Office programs, which was a relief.
Granted, none of this was a big deal. The one thing that baffled me was why I had to uninstall Mobile Device Center (the application that helps you sync your cell phone with your PC). Windows 7 comes with a replacement called Sync Center. Why didn't the installation utility just upgrade it?
Anyway, I got off easy. Check out this PC World article for some real installation nightmares, just three days after the Windows 7 release:
And here's an issue with the student version posted on Gizmodo:
Hurry Up and Wait
After I completed my list of tasks (geez), I launched the install program again and waited for it to do another compatibility check. By now I had about an hour into the install. (Want to make it slicker Microsoft? Just have the checker make sure I did my homework, rather than run this gruelingly slow process again.)
Once the installation process actually started, I got a message telling me that the upgrade "could" or "might" (something like that) take several hours. After a few minutes of watching the progress, I went to bed.
A New Day – A New OS
The next morning I entered the registration key and, bang, I was running Windows 7. So, the upgrade took a while, but it went off without a hitch. Naturally, Â I started opening programs and documents to make sure everything worked. For the most part, everything did. In fact, some things work better. IE seems more stable; my RAID tower (which gave me connection headaches in Vista) connected right away; programs open and close faster. So far, so good.
I did have to re-enter the serial numbers on a couple of games I play now and then, but I can live with that.
In Conclusion
After all is said and done, so far Windows 7 is running good for me, and noticeably faster. It was a bit of a pain getting there, but probably worth the effort.
Here is a list of what 27 reviewers have to say about Windows 7 from Gizmodo:
William Harrel – www.williamharrel.com
I've been using Windows since before Windows 3.1, which is when this unruly beast finally became functional. You can't imagine what it was like running PageMaker and Photoshop on machines that sometimes took a full minute or so for screen redraws. Crashes were a regular occurrence, driving me nuts and making me wonder why I bothered. Finally, with version 3.1, Windows became relatively stable and PCs were almost fast enough to run the struggling OS comfortably. Now, over 20 years later, here we are at version 7. As usual, Microsoft and pundits are touting it as the greatest thing since sliced bread. But we've heard that before…
With each Windows release the everyday enduser encounters numerous serious issues that don't turn up during development and testing–upgrade issues, program compatibility issues, performance issues, security issues, you name it. Let's face it, Vista was a disaster. Even after Service Pack 2, it's still a bloated dog.
So, the question is, is Windows 7 what Vista should have been?
So far, my experience with Windows 7 has been relatively positive. But then, I doubt that I am the average PC user. (In fact, I doubt there really is such a thing as an average PC user.)
So, instead of simply recounting my limited experience with the new OS, let's also take a look at what others are saying about Microsoft's latest OS.
One thing we should all know by now is that moving to a new version of Windows will undoubtedly be an adventure, a test of our patience and fortitude.
Another Convoluted Edition Scheme
As with Vista, Microsoft has once again come up with an elaborate Edition scheme to confuse you and relieve you of more of your money. The more you need your computer to do, the more Widows 7 will cost you. Oh how I long for the days when all you had to do was buy and install Windows, without trying to figure out what level of user you are. This time, at least, there are only three Editions (so, Microsoft knows we don't like this whole edition thing). Rather than go over all three and what they allow you to do, here is a link to a page on Microsoft's site comparing them:
Speed and Stability
Several testers, including Microsoft, are touting Windows 7's speed. Microsoft's ads are calling it "snappy." There's a lot of hype out there about faster boot speed. Here's an article about how fast the new OS boots:
Most of the tests I've seen test how long it takes to display the desktop. But these tests are done primarily without virus and other software installed. Besides, just getting to the desktop is half the battle. Vista displays the desktop rather quickly, but the OS continues loading long after that. In fact, programs are slow to open and sluggish for quite some time after the operating system "boots", to the point where Windows is nearly unusable for several minutes.
The real issue is, of course, how fast will programs load and perform their magic. Outlook, for example, is sluggish under Vista, and always misbehaving. We won't know until the OS is released and running in real world environments how nice Windows 7 plays on PCs with various configurations.
Granted, Microsoft's beta environment and sampling is much more sophisticated than with previous releases, but haven't we heard that before?
My experience so far is that the new OS seems fairly stable. No real problems with crashing. Here's an article from a guy with similar experience:
Notice, though, that Ben had trouble with one of his programs, which takes us to the next issue.
Program Compatibility
More often than not, upgrading Windows means also upgrading several programs, or running them in compatibility mode. Here's an example of some experiences people have had running Photoshop CS4 in Windows 7.
I haven't had a lot of trouble with the graphics and design software I run, mostly Adobe products. And it really looks like most applications will run alright in Windows 7. Here are a few sights where people are listing their experience with various programs:
New Features
So, we upgrade software to get new features, right? Well, Windows 7 has a bunch of those. Even Vista was easier to use than XP, once you found everything. And that's the issue again. Microsoft seems to move things around and change how things are done for no apparent reason. A classic example is Office 2007. Does anybody know why it's so different from previous versions?
Many things are different in Windows 7. For example, you setup dual monitors in an all new way. So, there is always a learning curve.
Anyway, I found most of the new features useful, though nothing to get excited about. Here is a list of the new stuff:
So far, it looks like Windows 7 is relatively stable, fast, and pretty slick. But I've said that before about other upgrades. We'll see…

Today, Veronica Belmont announced that the Sword & Laser anthology entries have been picked. The Sword & Laser people have received about a thousand submissions and picked twenty. Unfortunately my story did not make it into the top 2%.
After revisiting it, there are a lot of things I'd write differently, but it is too late now. Nevertheless, if you are interested in the story, here is a PDF version: Urban Genie PDF
On a whim, I have also decided to create an audio version of it. I hope you don't mind the accent and the occasional mispronounced word too much ;)
Reading it out loud helped me identify awkward sections, so perhaps I should use that method during the revision phase.
Onward to the next project!

Fulham agree Anguissa deal
Fulham have agreed a £22.3m deal to sign Marseille midfielder Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa.
The Premier League new boys have been busy strengthening their squad this summer and it looks like they have completed a Deadline Day deal for Anguissa just before the transfer window closed.
The 22-year-old is a Cameroon international, representing his country 11 times since making his debut in March 2017.
Anguissa helped Marseille reach the Europa League final last season, while he also made 37 Ligue 1 appearances as the club finished fourth in the table.
The midfielder was a first-team regular at Marseille in their past two campaigns, having joined the club from Stade de Reims in 2015.

Straight hair sometimes can get very boring. Even many people with straight hair have problems about the hair being too fine and lacking in volume. Also, straight hair styles seem to be repetitive after some time. A great way to add a healthy bounce to the hair is to make it curly. There are many ways to make the hair curly. One of the best way is go for perming hair. Perming is a great way to get permanent curls in your hair.
There are different types of perms, which depends upon the hairstylist and the method used to curl the tresses. Hair is treated with chemicals and that defines the type of perm. One of them is a spiral perm, a spiral perm give hair volume, texture and a new style, leaving your hair looking and feeling better. To get a spiral perm hair, some instructions below would help you to achieve these style :
Things you will need :
- Hair clips
- Comb
- Perm kit
- Perm rods
- Gloves
- Spray bottle
The Steps :
- Separate the hair into four equal sections: back, sides and front. Clip each section up, leaving a small section in the back down. Rub petroleum jelly around the ears and neck to prevent staining or dripping onto the skin.
- Grab a 1-inch section of hair and comb it to remove tangles. Take an end paper and fold it in half over the end of that section of hair while holding it in place with your hand. The paper will protect your hair from the perm chemicals and is included in the perm kit.
- Use one hand to the hold the perm rod vertically while wrapping the ends of the hair around the bottom of the perm rod. Roll the rod upward while turning it right until it reaches the base of the neck, then secure the rod by snapping each end in place.
- Move on to the other sections, turning the rods left and horizontally. Alternating the directions of the rods will ensure that the hair will curl in an orderly fashion. Repeat this method, releasing one section of hair at a time, wrapping each strand evenly.
- Squirt the perm solution all over the head so that it coats the hair completely all the way to the scalp. Cover your head with a plastic or shower cap and let the hair sit for the amount of time as instructed on the box.
- Rinse the solution off with warm water completely, then apply the neutralizer in the same way as the solution and leave it on for five minutes. Rinse your hair once again and use a towel to absorb the excess water.
- Unsnap and unroll the rods gently downward to release the hair.
Note : Use your fingers to fluff and separate the hair. If blow drying, use a diffuser attachment to style the hair.
The end result of spiral perm produces more volume, and gives a subtle texture to the hair too. It will give you curls of different lengths and sizes. Also, it will give you bouncy yet soft looking curls. As the curls' size can be small to large, you will see a depth in the hair which will render it a subtle texture.
If you have very fine and thin hair, then spiral curls will add a lot of volume to the hair too. Spiral perms have a certain saucy look overall. A woman can look her gorgeous best with this hairstyle. If you decided to try out a spiral perm, to get the best results, make sure you go to the best stylist in town. Good Luck!

What a beautiful concept it is! To have the beauty of nature and metropolitan environment at the same time just with a smart device in hand. Such a futuristic concept it is – an Augmented Reality.
It is all about supreme Reality than just a reality we all have in our everyday life. Making the computer generated images working on giving the same like experience as in real.
The all new technologies are already on the way to make the world completely automated and just beyond the dreamy imagination. As an initiation of changing the world with the latest technologies, the information, and technology companies have already started making use of such integration in the mobile apps they are developing. We, till the date, are known to the two major operating systems. And that is Android and iOS.
iOS has introduced ARkit for the quick inclusion of the augmented reality. Thanks to those developers who have made a quick approach with the altering technologies like augmented and virtual reality.
We have seen the concepts of virtual classrooms and video calling with the loved ones sitting miles away from us. As a leading mobile app development company, we would like to share the scenario of having awesome augmented reality apps. Here are the top 5 Augmented Reality apps that you should not miss to avail.
The Houzz App
The Houzz app is known for decorating your home as you want with the best decorating ideas and latest furniture as well. The current scene is about finding the best carpenter to shape up your furniture as you want.
And thinking whether the furniture will suit your home or not. It all goes on the prediction base. What if we want to see the furniture at the place where want to fit in? We need a virtual camera or something like that, right?
The app proves ideal for the redecoration of your home over the 50k different furniture and decorative items from the wide range of sellers and retailers. You can see the item, make it fixed with the camera virtually and can contact the particular seller for the same. As simple as that.
Nothing goes wrong when you have already seen the item with your already fixed furniture virtually and then making a purchase. Interior designers can use this to enhance their capabilities to decorate your home and also allows the zooming capabilities to make the perfect visibility of your home. The real estate industry will use such augmented reality apps to make more innovative projects and add creativity to their projects.
Holo App
Holo App recognizes for the fictional characters and makes them sound like real characters. For an instance, fixing up the real celebrities characters into the virtual image.
Dragging and dropping features will allow the users to change the surroundings on an immediate basis. A user can change the Youtube celebrities to the fictional characters and make them perform a diverse range of sound while placing in the real world.
The One from the AR Games – Ingress!
The Augmented Reality game market is such a vast. And here the Ingress game is known for engaging the players in finding the material called Exotic Matter. The players will tend to play between the two factions called the Enlightened and the Resistance.

About David

Paula Edelstein, noted critic and music journalist's reviewe for Sounds Of Timeless Jazz.com:
"Singing such great songs as "Angel Eyes," "Runnin' Out Of Fools," "The Shadow of Your Smile," and one outstanding rendition of "Cry Me A River," (which he sang in an uptempo Brazilian bossa nova jazz rhythm), Nathan gave the audience a taste of his soulful grooves that had some folk's heads bopping, hands waving, and bodies swaying in their chairs! At one point, vocalists Thelma Jones and Susaye Greene joined him onstage to sing harmony and background on "Walk On By" allowing the audience to be exposed to their fresh, innovative voices that had emerged out of the soul tradition in the 70s. In a complete about face, Nathan launched into a blues laden "Drink Muddy Water" and later pulled off a moving tribute to Little Esther Phillips with "I Could Have Told You So." David Nathan's musicality and interpretations were not only refreshingly new and different, but his choice of repertoire kept everyone interested. Overall, he and his accompanists offered an adventurous yet accessible set, and displayed strong musicianship and personality."

What's a blog?
I didn't really know what I was looking to do when I created thespunkytomato. But I'm always trying to stay on top of all the news, whether it's local, U.S., or the world. My kids are always the first to know about celebrities, anything in the entertainment field, and sports is a given! I thought that this wealth of information should not be kept just among ourselves. But what?
A friend of mine suggested that I start a blog. "OK" I said. I never told them I had no idea what a blog was. I just 'Googled' it and started reading. I knew a little about setting up websites so I wasn't totally in the dark. But I had to find out who had the best deal on blog websites.
I found blogger.com. It's free and easy to use. Lots of different templates, fonts, colors, etc. After a few tries, I found the one I wanted. I had already found the picture of the perfect tomatoes, so I was ready to go. Another popular blog creating site is wordpress.com.
Decisions, Decisions
Since I had no one to ask, I have built thespunkytomato through trial-and-error. Learning what to add, how big to make each item. Whether to have ads, or not to have ads. What size ads, where to place the ads. Kind of like we have on HubPages. Then I got hit with Google AdSense, and monetizing. I began to think I needed a degree in blogging. (Is there such a thing?)
I then had to start deciding what kind of material I would post. What kind of news would I report? Which celebs were worth following? How many sports and what teams to keep track of? Sometimes I would wake up in a cold sweat because I would still be trying to sort everything out. I don't have a lot of the answers...yet. I'm still learning and tweaking my blogs. But I am enjoying it immensely. And I'm seeing the pennies rolling in.
I have a Twitter account under thespunkytomato and it is beginning to take off. The important thing to remember is that this is a process. It takes time to build and have people be aware of you. I now have a fan page on Facebook. And, yes, if you Goolgle thespunkytomato , it will come up!
By George, I think I've got it!
The thing about creating a blog is that it's like any other writing project, you have to keep at it. Unless it's just going to be a hobby for you, you need to discipline yourself to update it everyday. There are so many ways to promote yourself. Research and find the best way for you. I could sit here and tell you what I think would be good for you, but that still boils down to my opinion. You're going to have to experiment a little...maybe a lot...until you find the formula that works for you. But the fun and excitement is in the journey. When you start to see the money roll in, even if it is just pennies at first, you'll know that people are finding you, and liking what you have to say. And, you'll know you're on the right track. Happy blogging!

Be Calm, Be Patient
It's really, really simple. Be calm, be patient. Everything stems from that. I use the mnemonic CSPAN, for
- calm,
- strong,
- patient,
- assertive, and
- non-aggressive.
(I call those The Magic Five leadership characteristics). Uncovering what you have to do to make that happen is what's the challenging part. It's easy, but it's hard, but in the end, it's really, really easy! When you do, finally get there, you'll understand. It's a place unlike anything you've imagined.
Don't Be "Nice" to Your Dog!
If you jump all over that headline, then that tells something about you.
Be calm, patient, and assertive. That's how to best be "nice" to your dog. Human psychology fails when applied to dogs. Dogs are not human, do don't treat them as humans. Give them what they need.
Human-nice is weak to a dog and weak leadership.
Martini Glasses and Marbles
Leadership with dogs is like marbles in a martini glass – only one marble is at the bottom. That's the leader's position. With dogs, your marble gets to that spot by being calm assertive, by "Pausing," and by being more patient than your dog's ability to ignore – to make you go away, to make you lose, and make him win. Own or express any other emotion, feeling, or energy besides calm assertiveness and you've effectively pulled that marble of yours out of that prized leadership position. Then, in terms of the martini glass metaphor, another marble slides into place and replaces yours. It's nature's beautiful and thoughtful way to guarantee the strongest individual will take over the pack.
Stop the Baby Talk
In terms of levels of excitement, baby talk is high pitched and energy-laden. It's encourages a dog to move to a higher energy level, because of the higher pitch, and because of the attitude that's necessary to express the baby talk in the first place which is coming from his human. A healthy pack leader will not want her pack members to be in a high energy state – she will want them to be calm and submissive. Thus, energetically, baby talk fails at helping one to be a calm, assertive leader.
By definition, only calm assertive energy is effective in establishing and maintaining oneself in a position of leadership with your dog. Since any other energy will fail, then baby talk must fail as well in terms of a dog's perception of a person's pack leadership ability. Baby talk is weak in terms of leadership because it's not calm assertive.
Just stop the baby talk. Give firm, clear commands instead.
Dogs Are Not People
Treat your dog like a dog, not like a person. What works between people can fail with your dog. They're not meant to be treated like people, or else they'd be people.
If you treat your dog like a person, and you're having problems with your dog, try an experiment and start treating him like a dog. Then see if in a few weeks his behavior has changed. Be the pack leader. Be calm and assertive.
My Dog "Feels Bad"
Do you really think you know what's going on inside your dog's brain or psyche! Maybe in 50 or 100 generations they'll have technology that's sensitive to detect and know that detail.
That you think your dog feels bad is a story you're making up in your own head.
Dog's Don't Have Memories
Dogs have visceral recollections of what happened to them, but they cannot recall details. They shy away from all balloons now, but can't reason out the cause. That supports the facts, supports all dog's behaviors, and gives us a tool to nurture our relationship with our dogs.
We create stories about what might have happened to them, but it's fantasy. It's never the reality. We're creating it in our own heads. As a strong, assertive pack leader, let it go. Most of our stories are unfortunately sad and bad. You cannot hold that story and simultaneously be strong and assertive. It makes us feel sorry for them, and feeling sorry is not a strong, assertive attitude. It moves your marble (see the entry on being "nice" to your dog), and you've lost your leadership position.

Most transactions between members of the same consolidated group generally do not result in current recognition of federal income tax. Treasury Regulations require that "intercompany" items of income, gain, deduction, and loss that result from intercompany transactions between members are zeroed out under a single-entity approach.1 This is accomplished by "matching" the transactions and treating them as transactions that would occur as if they were divisions of a single entity, so as to clearly reflect consolidated taxable income.2 Importantly, these Treasury Regulations contain an anti-abuse rule that states that, "[i]f a transaction is engaged in or structured with a principal purpose to avoid the purposes of this section (including, for example, by avoiding treatment as an intercompany transaction), adjustments must be made to carry out the purposes of this section."3 The anti-avoidance rule would seem to treat transactions that are not intercompany transactions in form, but are intercompany transactions in substance as intercompany transactions, when they result in an abusive creation of a loss or changing the location of income that has the effect of reducing federal income tax. On November 5, 2010, the IRS released a Chief Counsel Advice Memorandum (CCA) holding that the payment of a patronage dividend by a cooperative to member patrons, who were all members of the same consolidated group, was an intercompany transaction under Treas. Reg. Section 1.1502-13 by applying the anti-abuse rule in the situation in which a partnership was interposed between the members and the cooperative.4
Background on Taxation of Cooperatives
A cooperative is permitted to claim an income tax deduction for dividend distributions to their patrons (owners) paid within eight and a half months following the close of the tax year.5 The corresponding patronage dividends are included in the taxable income of the patrons in the year of receipt.6 The patronage dividends may effectively allow a one-year deferral on the taxation of the income earned by a cooperative if timed properly. If the cooperative and the patrons are members of the same consolidated group, the payment of the patronage dividend is considered an intercompany transaction, subject to the matching rule, whereby the deduction of the payment of the patronage dividend would be treated as occurring in the same year as the inclusion of the patronage dividend by the consolidated members.7 This ensures that the timing of the items properly reflect income with no deferral of income between the group members.
In CCA 201044003, the taxpayer was the parent of a large affiliated group, which has retail operations throughout the United States, filing a consolidated federal income tax return. Procurement and merchandising functions were historically performed by the taxpayer's general office. A tax promoter approached the taxpayer about forming a cooperative that would be owned by a newly formed partnership, which in turn would be owned by the consolidated members. The newly formed partnership had no operations and did not have any business relationship with the cooperative. Presumably the partnership was interposed between the consolidated group and the cooperative to prevent the cooperative from being in the consolidated group and having the matching rules not apply to the issuances of patronage dividends.8 As part of the plan, the taxpayer transferred employees to the cooperative to perform the procurement and merchandising functions they performed in the taxpayer's operating company before. The cooperative performed these functions by taking delivery and title to the procured merchandise. Consolidated group members paid a surcharge for all the goods purchased by the cooperative. The promoter suggested that this strategy would eliminate certain state income taxes and create a deferral for federal income taxes for one year, because the standard application of the matching rule would not apply since a partnership broke consolidation.9
The IRS concluded that by transferring the procurement and merchandising functions to the cooperative and charging a surcharge for the same services, the patrons artificially inflated their cost of goods sold for that year and deferred income on the surcharge, which would essentially be returned to them the following year as a patronage dividend. Moreover, the taxpayer's interjection of a partnership between the cooperative and the consolidated group member was abusive under Section 1.1502-13(h), because it deliberately excluded the cooperative from the consolidated group. Part of the IRS analysis on the application of Treas. Reg. Section 1.1502-13(h) was based on the promoter's assertions that the transaction was done for tax purposes with no business purpose and the taxpayer did not get an opinion as to the business efficiency or viability of forming the cooperative.10
Pepper Perspective
The rationale for the conclusion in the CCA is somewhat surprising, because the IRS essentially disregarded the ownership of the newly created partnership to conclude that the consolidated group essentially included the cooperative, and thus, the matching rule applied to transactions between the cooperative and the group member. By disregarding the taxpayer's interposition of the partnership within the consolidated group, the IRS applied the anti-abuse rule beyond just normal substance over form. This type of entity disregard could discourage taxpayers from entity selection in other normal circumstances.
Moreover, the CCA leaves open a number of unanswered questions. Would the result in the CCA be the same if the cooperative were foreign, since foreign entities cannot join in the filing of a consolidated return thus nullifying the application of the matching rule's intent? How heavily did the promoter's actions play in the determination? Would the CCA come to a different result if the partnership was already an active partnership with which the group members had a prior business relationship?
In light of the CCA, consolidated groups that possess or seek to create wholly owned partnerships within a group that breaks consolidation should consider revisiting the structures to ensure they are not in violation of the anti-avoidance rules. They may want to consider documenting the business purpose for having the structures in place to make sure they do not have new federal income tax exposures, especially in light of the recent codification of the economic substance doctrine.

The disappointing news from Britain in the article linked here is unfortunately just the first in a number of such political compromises we will see in coming months as the world amps up for this summer's Beijing Olympics. British athletes going to China, CNN reports, "will have to sign a contract promising not to comment on any politically sensitive issues." The Olympics are an opportunity for the world to celebrate our common humanity, and so on the face of it any policy which prohibits athletes from mentioning divisive issues is laudable; there are times when we should leave behind our divisions and celebrate our God-given athletic gifts. This time around, however, the "politically sensitive issues" are not just arguments over freedom of the press or international policy disputes. China's record on human rights is abysmal, and not just with regard to the aforementioned issues. The "one child" policy under which parents are punished for large families is still enforced in China, and the primary method by which this policy is implemented is mandatory abortion after the first child. Not even the most fervent advocate for legal abortion would support this Orwellian attack on human life and parental choice. In my own time in China several years ago, I was struck repeatedly by the "reversed-pyramid" structure that is overtaking Chinese family life--a child with two parents, four grandparents, multiple aunts and uncles...and not a single sibling or first cousin. Where are their brothers and sisters? Most of them, one must assume, fell victim to governmental insistence on abortions after the first child. To tell our athletes to keep mum for the sake of politesse in the face of this situation is at best a weak concession to keeping the peace, and at worst a form of material cooperation with government-approved atrocities. Who will stand up to China before August's events? Or have we become so blasé about abortion that we consider it nothing more than a "politically sensitive issue"? Read it here Jim Keane, SJ

Selection of variable transmission ratio in a vehicle with a flywheel energy storage element to maximize the kinetic energy transfer for specified vehicle accelerations is formulated as an optimal control problem. Models for single and parallel power-flow path configurations are presented as generic hybrid propulsion system types. For both systems variation of the ratio of the continuously variable transmission results in inherently nonlinear control, with velocity trajectories found by the solution of two-point boundary value problems. For the single power-flow path system a closed loop controller is synthesized which tracks acceleration command. For the parallel path system, which is representative of conventional power split transmissions, the open loop control yields useful information, indicating tradeoffs between system energy recovery efficiency and component design parameters. Maximum energy recovery during regenerative braking is achieved by minimizing power losses to vehicle drag and transmission elements. Planetary gear geometry is shown to have the strongest influence on efficiency, maximum transmission component loading, and CVT ratio range.

[News] Lee Min Ho shows off his talent in playing soccer
Lee Min Ho shows off his talent in playing soccer August 08, 2012 2:30 pm eternalc2h
Actor Lee Min Ho recently showed off his talent in playing soccer. On August 8, a video of Lee playing soccer with his friends was uploaded on the official Facebook page of Lee's agency. In the video, Lee smoothly dribbles, traps, and shoots the ball. According to reports, his heading shoot is so powerful that it often threatens the opposing team. Because he's 187 centimeters tall, he can shoot a ball high. Lee learned how to play soccer in Cha Bum Geun's Soccer School, which only accepts young students who are talented in playing soccer. With his great physical condition and talent, he was acknowledged by Cha Bum Geun, but he had to give up on his dream of becoming a soccer player when he was in the fifth grade because of a injury. People responded: "Lee Min Ho is really good at playing soccer." "Lee Min Ho is talented in many things." "Lee Min Ho is so awesome." "Lee Min Ho is so tall." Lee is currently shooting SBS TV's new drama series Faith, which will start airing on August 13.

On August 8, Lee Min Ho's agency revealed a Youtube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmS4rfvTHs0) of him playing soccer with his friends through the actor's official Facebook page. He didn't only kick the ball, but show off jaw-dropping dribbles, quick ball trapping techniques, powerful mid-range shoots and non-stop volley kicks. Lee Min Ho is actually well known for his skills in soccer. He used to play soccer as a child, and even made it into the soccer class headed by the legendary soccer player Cha Bum Kun. He excelled with his physique and talent, but wasn't able to make it far as a soccer player after he suffered an injury fatal to his soccer-playing abilities in fifth grade. A rep from the actor's agency said about the video, "The mid-air heading shots he shows off using his tall height [of 187cm] are so powerful they make the opposition so frightened in real games. The one in charge of putting together the costumes for his drama was once surprised at the firm thighs he had hidden under his slim figure." Lee Min Ho will be showing off more of his physique in his first ever period piece, SBS' Faith, which will air its first episode on August 13. Photo credit: Starhaus Entertainment Source: enewsworld

And they call themselves a civilised country?
What on earth am I wittering on about I can hear you thinking.
Marmite. That's what.
Hands up if you like Marmite.
Hands up if you hate Marmite.
Fairly even split there, I think.
It have a definite love or hate polarising effect. I've never heard anyone say they're ambivalent towards it, mostly because people who eat Marmite don't use words like ambivalent.
Hands up if you've never heard of it.
Personally, I love Marmite. Marmite on toast, in beans, as a hot drink, on soldiers…
Whoa! Hold on a minute.
Marmite on soldiers? * Mmmmmmm…..*takes on dreamy expression*
THAT was a mental picture I was enjoying until I was jolted back to reality by mentally hearing Boofuls shout OI!
Let me clarify, dear reader. I meant Marmite on bread soldiers to dip into my boiled eggs. That doesn't mean I'm necessarily saying that you can't put Marmite on real soldiers, preferably a royal marine, and lick it off but I can't as Boofuls won't be terribly happy about it.
For those of you readers who have never heard of it I can tell you it's a yeast extract, the same as Vegemite. Absolutely, delicious, nutritious and very good for you.
So imagine my surprise when I discovered that it's banned in Canada! Apparently it's a bit too good for you. The fact that it has been enriched with vitamins has got it placed on the black list, which is ironic because it is black.
I thought Canada was a civilised country. So civilised that we were on the verge of emigrating there a few years ago. Well. I couldn't possibly emigrate to a place that doesn't have Marmite!
Canada, you are officially off my christmas card list.
Here's the full story: Canada orders Briton to stop selling Marmite and Irn Bru
What's Irn Bru? It's made from girders and Scots people drink it with vodka. It's vile.

black colouring flowers lotus nature peace pink pond reflection selective white
the blackness of the water looks fantastic against the pink.
Great work, great caption …..
Thanks Tainia. The title is a famous quote about peace by Mahatma Gandhi. Thought the lotus flower repesented peace in a sense.
All the more poignant for that knowledge, great illustration of his quote if I may say so
Beautifully done, all your work is fabulous :)
Thanks so very much Tammy :)
Beautiful work. This is one to stare at for quite awhile!
Glad you like it Kenneth…thank you for your comments
Stunning….the water is so still…you can feel the weight of the lotus leaves drifting on top…the flower is in such a great position..the whole composition works really well. Very beautiful
Thank you so much Dianna. It really is a beautiful flower. I appreciate you taking the time to comment.
your work is fabulous
Thank you Rosina. So is yours! Thanks for commenting.
That phrase and the lotus flower are both huge parts of my life, and to see them together is quite overwhelming.
A divine image, and such a delightful colour
Thanks Lee, I am so glad it can be of inspiration to someone :)
This is simply beautiful
Thank you so much for commenting

Exciting news for Trans* Students
I have some exciting news for any students who identify as trans*. I am currently trying to create a link between the LGBT society and a free mentoring service that is available to all trans* students thanks to the charity 'Gendered Intelligence'.
The idea is to provide one-on-one mentoring sessions with a Gendered Intelligence trans* mentor, to help trans* students who may be struggling with managing gender issues, experiencing some of the challenges of living as a trans person in education or may have existing mental health issues which are exacerbated by being trans.
The service is paid for by funding available to help students with particular needs in Higher Education, so its free for both you and the university. In order to qualify for funding, you need a letter from a doctor confirming a mental health diagnosis as evidence of your need for mentoring (This includes 'Gender Identity Disorder' as well as diagnoses such as depression or anxiety), however a letter from your GP saying how your identity as trans effects your grades etc will also suffice if you are yet to get a diagnosis.
They can provide practical support with social and medical transition (such as assistance with information, name changes, referrals, etc). They can also advise on organisation and study skills, careers, housing and financial information. They provide advocacy support - to ensure your needs are met within the university by talking to academic staff or unviersity administration about any issues, either with you, with another member of the LGBT society (probably me as I'm the Trans* officer) or on your behalf.
Normally this has to be arranged on a one-to-one basis with GI but I am hoping to make it so that it can be done though the LGBT society if you are worried about contacting them.
I am really excited about this and hope you are too. Anyone who thinks they might benefit from this please get in touch with me (email@example.com) or by emailing Gendered Intelligence directly at firstname.lastname@example.com .

I'm personally of the belief that the success of the secular student movement as a whole can very much be judged by the success of the movement on the ground. Because of this, I tend to keep my eyes open as to the well-being of other groups and keep track of the progress of new ones.
As of recently, there's been an increased amount of activity in the area that I personally consider the "last frontier" for nontheism in the US: Mississippi. In the past, there have been attempts to get groups started at both the University of Mississippi and Mississippi State University, but both projects appear to have fizzled out or stagnated (a real shame). However, there's been some serious interest presented at The University of Southern Mississippi down in Hattiesburg. They have a determined core or leaders already (cheers to you guys), and have already stirred the pot and driven up a fair amount of interest on campus. As of right now, the only leap left between them and official legitimacy is the University: once that hurdle is passed, they will be the first SSA affiliate in the state, and will be cleared to start hosting official events as a university group to increase membership. That hurdle, however, could be a tough one.
In the south, getting a secular studeent group started has met with mixed reactions by academic institutions. The most obvious example to give is the legal marathon that it took to get Auburn High's group officially recognized. Still, we managed to win out in the end (thanks to a ton of hard work and determination on the part of the Hendersons and the SSA). Thus, the question seems not to be "if" the USM group will be recognized, but "when". As long as the potential stagnation doesn't kill the interest in the group, then everything should play out just fine (though it could be aggravatingly tedious). In the best possible situation, the USM group won't run into any problems at all. Considering the fact that there are no other student groups in the state, however, I imagine there will be some initial opposition (hopefully not from within the administration). I'm going to be optimistic, though, and give Southern Miss the benefit of the doubt: if they do a little research, they'll know they can't win that fight. And on top of that, I can guarantee that this group of secular trailblazers isn't about to be thwarted. If the university does cause them trouble, SECAA and the SSA already have the student's backs. This is all going to come down to the beginning of the upcoming semester, when the Secular Student Alliance at Southern Miss will find out if they will become an official student group at the University. I'm hoping those wardrums I hear in the distance are just in my head.
In all honesty, I'm hoping for the best; but rightfully prepared for the worst. At this point, the lines are drawn and the die is cast. We'll see how this all turns out soon enough.
Here's to the Heathens of Hattiesburg!

Just Your Average Day At The Museum
Patterned elevator banks and a mirrored carousel...
Headgear that literally turns the world upside down...
A larger than life mushroom patch...
And a twisty slide that cuts through two floors!
My favorite redhead and I spent a super fun afternoon at the Carsten Höller exhibit at the New Museum. Words of caution: be prepared to wait in lines. Be prepared to get silly. Be prepared to accidentally sneak a peek of a naked museum-goer as they exit the Giant Psycho Tank... (oops).

Session Introduction
Shaofeng Yan
Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center
Title: Prognostic significance of isolated immunohistochemical positive cells in sentinel lymph nodes and metastatic tumor burden in sentinel lymph nodes from melanoma patients
Time : 9:30-9:50
Shaofeng Yan is the Director of the Dermatopathology Section and Dermatopathology Fellowship Program at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center. She has received MD from Peking Union Medical College and PhD from University of Washington. She has received Anatomic and Clinical Pathology Residency Training at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center and Dermatopathology Fellowship Training at Harvard Dermatopathology Fellowship Program. She became a Faculty Member of Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in 2006. Since then she has published in the field of Dermatopathology. She has been serving as Editorial Board Member and Reviewer for different journals
Histological and immunohistochemical (IHC) studies have been used to evaluate metastatic melanoma in sentinel lymph nodes (SLN). Occasionally, isolated IHC positive (IHC+) cells have been identified in SLN without atypical cells seen on H&E stained sections. We previously reported isolated IHC+ cells in lymph nodes from patients without melanoma. The aim of this study is to evaluate the prognostic significance of these IHC+ cells in SLN from melanoma patients, compared to patients with negative SLN and patients with SLN positive for metastatic melanoma. 826 melanoma patients who received a sentinel lymph node biopsy between 2000 and 2012 were identified from a tertiary medical center. Among them, 125 had metastatic disease in SLN, 639 had negative SLN and 60 had rare IHC+ cells in SLN without atypical cells seen on H&E sections. Within the SLN+ group, 51 had metastatic deposits <0.2 mm, 44 had deposits >2 mm and 30 had deposits between 0.2 and 2 mm. A control group was created by selecting 125 patients from the 639 negative SLN group to match the positive SLN group, based on age and sex. With a mean follow-up time of 58.8 months, the disease specific survival of patients with rare IHC+ cells in SLN was similar to patients with negative SLN and patients with tumor deposits less than 0.2 mm (P=0.19), but was significantly different from those with metastatic deposits between 0.2 mm and 2 mm and those with deposits >2 mm (P<0.0001). Further studies with longer follow up are needed.

Title: Ultraviolet fluorescent tattoo facilitates accurate identification of biopsy sites
Time : 9:50-10:15
Bertha Baum has built a reputation as a Cosmetic Dermatologist by providing leading-edge treatments, dedicated and personalized patient care and excellent aesthetic results throughout her career. She is often asked to share her expertise to the English and Spanish-speaking media about the latest advancements in skin care technologies. She has collaborated in several publications, in world renowned dermatological journals and books with her research. She remains committed to the highest standards of patient care and actively involved in several professional organizations. She is proud to treat patients of all ages and skin types and has experience in cosmetic, general, surgical and pediatric dermatology. She is a proud alumna of the University of Miami with a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience Summa Cum Laude, received her Medical degree from the Nova Southeastern University College of Osteopathic Medicine. Upon graduation, she has completed an Internship in Westchester Hospital, as well as a Residency in Dermatology at the NSU COM Larkin Community Hospital, where she was Chief Resident during her last year.
Background: Cutaneous biopsy sites are often difficult to discern or are frequently misidentified when patients present for treatment of skin cancers. This frustrating situation can lead to delays in treatment and wrong site surgeries. Current methods aiming to prevent this situation are not perfect. Objective: This study seeks to determine the efficacy of ultraviolet-fluorescent tattoos in facilitating the correct identification of suspected non-melanoma skin cancer biopsy sites. Methods: In this prospective cohort, 51 shave biopsy sites were tattooed with ultraviolet-fluorescent ink in a series of 31 patients suspected of having a cutaneous malignancy. At the time of follow up, the ability of the patient and the physician to identify the correct site with and without ultraviolet illumination of the tattoo was recorded. Visibility of the tattoo was graded before and after treatment. Results: Patients could not positively identify their biopsy site in 35% of cases. In 7% of cases, physicians could not confidently identify the site without the aid of ultraviolet illumination. In conjunction with tattoo illumination, physicians confidently identified the site in 100% of the cases. No adverse events occurred. Conclusion: Ultraviolet-fluorescent tattoos offer a safe and reliable means of accurately marking cutaneous biopsy sites.
Drazen M Jukic
University of Florida
Title: Workshop on Applications of telemedicine in dermatology and dermatopathology
Drazen M Jukic is a private practice Dermatopathologist in Savannah GA. He maintains active digital Dermatopathology consultation service and serves as a Telepathology Consultant for VISN 8 and James A. Haley VA Hospital, Tampa, Florida and is a Member of Advisory Board of Castle Biosciences, Inc. He also maintains a consultation service via his company Advanced Digital Anatomic Pathology Technologies (ADAPT) and as a Medical Officer in Digipath, Inc. In the past, he served as a Director of dermatopathology fellowship, University of Pittsburgh (for 10 years), Medical Advisory Board at Digipath and was a Founding Member of a clinical team at Omnyx, LLC. He is a Visiting Associate Professor, School of Medicine of University of Zagreb, Croatia. His area of expertise includes immunohistochemistry, cutaneous lymphomas and molecular pathology as it pertains to dermatopathology.
Two of the applications of digitized medicine as applied to the dermatology are poised to change the practice as we know it today, namely teledermatology and teledermatopathology. The implementation of teledermatology has seen a huge interest, especially when applied with the patient in mind. Some business models have focused on delivery of the care to the underserved areas (areas without adequate dermatology coverage) and others have been implemented as patient initiated consultations. However, if the biopsies are done, it is questionable where does the pathology end up and who is actually reading the biopsies, potentially skewing the interpretation and allowing for a diagnostic bias. On the other hand, although well accepted and utilized, conventional dermatopathology workflow is not ideal, especially if viewed in light of the increasing demands in terms of reporting, turnaround time and patient safety. Implementation of telepathology in any surrounding is a challenge, though, as most pathologists trained to use current systems are comfortable with standard, glass based pathology and are resistant to adopting new approaches to workflow without evidence of an immediate benefit. Furthermore, telepathology has not been adequately explored for evaluation of specific diagnostic features in dermatopathology, which is often a single person operation, thus not allowing for additional opinion or real time quality assurance. By employing telepathology, real time remote case review and delayed image review as well as second opinions, additional subspecialty reviews, sign out collaborations and expert reviews can be easily conducted. In some cases, this is the only way these imperative procedures can be accomplished, especially considering their time sensitive nature. In the future, one would hope to see a combined teledermatology/teledermatopathology system for delivery of the optimal care for a dermatologic patient.
Stephen M Mastorides
James A Haley Veterans Hospital
Title: Telepathology: Current status and perspectives for use in dermatopathology
Stephen M Mastorides is the Chief of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine Service of the James A Haley Veterans Hospital in Tampa, Florida for the past ten years. He is a skilled Pathologist with many years of experience in management specializing in the introduction of new and advanced technologies into the clinical laboratory. As Chief, he has helped to develop the Tampa VA Molecular Diagnostics Center of Excellence, which provides molecular testing services for numerous medical centers in the VISN 8 including the Orlando VAMC, North Florida/South Georgia VAMC, Miami VAMC and Bay Pines VAMC. He also oversees a large inpatient and outpatient phlebotomy service which draws over 700 patients and 2100 specimens per day. His research focuses on investigating advanced laboratory technologies including but not limited to telepathology, molecular diagnostics, diagnostic nanotechnologies and practical implementation of genomic and proteomic testing. He is also the Site Director of the Million Veteran Program (CSP #G002).
Healthcare managers and pathologists have been tasked to find solutions to improve pathology workflow and provide all patients with access to specialty pathologists. As a result, the James A. Haley Veterans' Hospital established a Telepathology Center of Excellence. Telepathology is defined as electronic multimedia communication between an acquisition site and a remote site pathologist for the purpose of primary diagnosis and second opinion consultations. The James A. Haley Veterans' Hospital Telepathology Center of Excellence has identified requirements for interoperable telepathology systems and pioneered a solution for dermatopathology which works integrated with our Computerized Patient Record System (CPRS). The Apollo Robotic Telepathology Workstation, utilized in our system, is a dynamic telepathology system designed utilizing a multi tiered open system software solution. Apollo Path Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) manage images from all laboratory imaging devices and related hardware. The telepathology objectives include: Expediting referrals to experts and specialists, improving telehealth workload capture, enhancing secondary reading for diagnostic verification, peer review and quality assurance as well as group discussion and education during clinical pathological conferences (tumor board). The implementation deployed Apollo systems to Bay Pines VA Medical Center (St. Petersburg, FL) and the VA Caribbean Healthcare System (San Juan, PR). Both systems are live and used for second opinion diagnostic dermatopathology consultations (Dermatopathologist is at James A. Haley Veterans' Hospital). This system implementation has brought quicker, more accurate diagnoses across VISN 8 and the results of the implementation provide useful information to healthcare managers and decision makers who must find a more efficient way to provide care to our nation's Veterans.
Kate Ross
LA Plastic Surgery & Dermatology
Title: Teledermatology: Private practice possibilities versus government funded systems
Kate Ross has completed her Medical degree from the Florida State College of Medicine. She has completed a Dermatology Residency at the University of South Florida. She has her board certification in Dermatology from the American Board of Dermatology. She currently works at LA Plastic Surgery & Dermatology in private practice in Sarasota and Bradenton, FL. She also spends 1 day a week seeing patients at the James A Haley VA Hospital in Dermatology. She is an Associate Clinical Faculty Member at the Florida State College of Medicine.
This presentation will give an overview of a few available telemedicine systems currently in use in a private practice setting and compare these to the telehealth system currently being used at the VA hospital. It will further discuss how one practice is integrating teledermatology into day to day business to make patient care easier and more HIPAA compliant. I will explore how one VA is using telehealth to improve consultation between dermatology and non-dermatology practitioners. This will finish with a review of the barriers to widespread use of these systems in a busy practice as well as limitations of use in the governmental systems. Finally we will visit new features being promised by telemedicine companies in the years to come.
Srdjan Prodanovich
Title: Digital pathology
Srdjan Prodanovich, MD, FAAD has completed his medical school and dermatology residency at the University of Miami School of Medicine in Miami, Florida. He is actively practicing Dermatology in Naples, Florida and is a CEO of EZDERM, LLC (ezderm.com), a premier software company that develops state of the art medical record systems. He has published multiple research papers.
Pathology plays an essential role in healthcare. While still relying on glass slide microscopy and paper reports, digitalization of modern healthcare calls for a better delivery method of pathology results. Digital pathology can significantly improve patient care outcomes by allowing instant access of pathology images to multiple members of the patient care team.

how long does it take your taps to run cold?
ours take about 3 minutes. goes like this:
1 second of cold blast
5 seconds of luke warm drizzle
1-3 minutes of HOT water. and when i say hot, i mean hot. like out of the hot tap.
30 seconds of luke warm water
is it cos i'm on the 3rd floor? this is what someone told me. i yearn for quicker cold water.
sticky this thread?
i remember those days.
the hot is a bit slow too.
So your cold tap is too hot
and your hot tap is too cold?
i see where you're going here,
just dont even bother
this is actually a good question.
which bit is the actual tap? theres one "spout" and two turny bits. are these the taps? if so there is two.
boingy boingy pads?
One spout and two nozzles?
When you have both flavours coming through one tap it's always a bit dodgy.
so which bit is the "tap"?
is the whole contraption the "tap"?
Apparently the whole thing is the tap
"In kitchens, in the U.S., the UK, most of the EU and in many other places, mixer taps are often used instead. In this case, hot and cold water from the two valves is mixed together before reaching the outlet, allowing the water to emerge at any temperature between that of the hot and cold water supplies. Mixer taps were invented by Thomas Campbell of Saint John, New Brunswick and patented in 1880."
This is a nice picture of a tap
Hey, remember summer?
Great times
Memories of summer?!
Worst. Summer. Ever.
Great. Times.
"What was your favourite ever summer?"
"...we had a tap."
I was never THAT keen on the tap.
SORRY! Someone had to say it.
You never even gave the Tap a chance.
Jumped up indie prick.
To be honest, it's your occasional capitalisation of the t/Tap
that put me off it in the first place!
i read in the Guardian a few weeks back
that continental Europeans all think we're crazy because we don't have mixer tapes
You should see what UKIP have to say about Europeans and their crazy mixer taps.
I have mixer taps. I must be European.
You have one tap.
You have two twirly bits.
These are technical terms. You can also have straight-pushy-downy taps, or sidey-to-sidey-pushy-uppy taps.
in the bathroom,
we've got one of those twisty-uppy-downy taps. its pot luck which flavour or pressure you're going to get
I love the phrase 'pot luck'.
Can you find out where it's from please? Thanks.
Flavour: mango
Pressure: high over the Grampians, burst of low later this afternoon over the Borders
mango rain.
a youtube sensation waiting to happen
Dear god.
Instantly? I always run them a bit first though, cos someone once told me that the first blast is pure limescale, or chlorine, or poo, or something. So I flush the poo out first, then get my head under there for some sexy water drinking action.
Do you take a swig of undiluted Vimto
then drink straight from the cold tap?
are you in a better mood today?
Or is Mr Cranky Pants still 'tired'?
It's the weather. I can't handle it.
And a cranky me mixed with you clowns doesn't bode well.
We're due rain tomorrow
Then we won't need taps to remember summmer.
Are you sure that you're not using the hot tap and your boiler isn't working properly?
Mine takes about 3 seconds to run cold in the summer. Is always cold in the winter.
My taps run cold
my memory has just been sold
My mate complained about the water in my flat the other day
Said that compared to the stuff he gets down in water, our London water was 'too dry'.
Are taps considered part of your furniture? If so, I may have to re-evaluate my list.
