A college student, a lawyer, and a videographer attended a protest at an oil and gas construction site in Greeley, Colorado in early March and all three are now getting sued by the company behind the massive project.
The student, Cullen Lobe, already was facing criminal charges in Weld County, Colorado for locking himself to a bulldozer as part of an act of civil disobedience at the oil and gas construction site.
While Lobe was arrested and now faces criminal charges, the four other individuals were not arrested but instead were given criminal citations by the Weld County Sheriff's Department for trespassing at the Extraction Oil and Gas drilling site.
The legal action against Lamb, a lawyer with the National Lawyers Guild who was acting as a legal observer at the March 8 protest, and Mack, an independent journalist who videotaped the protest, comes at a time of increasing concern surrounding the arrest and prosecution of reporters and protesters critical of U.S. government and powerful corporations.
The lawsuit against Lobe is "meant to harass and intimidate" him while seeking to "chill and silence the community," Lobe's lawyer, Jason Flores-Williams, wrote in a motion to dismiss the lawsuit.
In its March 9 lawsuit, which was amended three weeks later, Extraction Oil and Gas asked the District Court of Weld County, Colorado to force the 23-year-old Lobe and the others to pay "all available damages, fees and costs, including at least nominal damages." Additionally, the complaint seeks a ruling to prevent the defendants from committing "any further trespass" on any Extraction Oil & Gas sites.
Along with Lobe and the other defendants, Extraction Oil and Gas named "John and Jane Does 1-8" in its lawsuit.
In 2014, in the face of the parents' resistance, Extraction Oil and Gas abandoned the Frontier Academy site.
The drilling site represents a "clear case of environmental racism," Lobe told ThinkProgress.
Flores-Williams cited the 1984 case in his motion to dismiss Extraction Oil and Gas's lawsuit against Lobe.

Republican Gives Democratic Radio Address
When the walls come crumblin' crumblin'
When the walls come tumblin' tumblin' down
- John Mellencamp
Larry Johnson, a retired CIA agent, formerly of the State Department's Office of Counter Terrorism and a registered Republican, gave the Democratic radio address yesterday. This followed a week in which 11 former CIA officers publicly blasted the White House for leaking Valerie Plame's identity as a covert CIA operative.
Here's the text of his address – it's worth reading.
Good morning. I'm Larry Johnson, an American, a registered Republican, a former intelligence official at the CIA, and a friend of Valerie Plame.Here's a link to the audio if you would like to listen to it.
I entered on duty at the CIA in September 1985 with Valerie. We were members of the Career Trainee Program. Senator Orin Hatch wrote the letter of recommendation for me which I believe that helped open the doors to me at the CIA.
From the first day we walked into the building, all members of my training class were undercover, including Valerie. In other words, we had to lie to our family and friends about where we worked. We could only tell those who had an absolute need to know where we worked. In my case, I told my wife.
I knew the wife of Ambassador Wilson, Valerie, as Valerie P. Even though all of us in the training class held Top Secret Clearances, we were asked to limit our knowledge of our other classmates to the first initial of their last name.
So, Larry J. knew Val P. rather than Valerie Plame. I really didn't realize what her last name was until her cover was betrayed by the Government officials who gave columnist Robert Novak her true name.
I am stunned that government officials at the highest level have such ignorance about a matter so basic to the national security structure of this nation.
Robert Novak's compromise of Valerie led to scrutiny of CIA officers that worked with her. This not only compromised her "cover" company but potentially every individual overseas who had been in contact with that company or with her.
We must put to bed the lie that she was not undercover. For starters, if she had not been undercover then the CIA would not have referred the matter to the Justice Department.
Val only told those with a need to know about her status in order to safeguard her cover, not compromise it. She was content with being known as an energy consultant married to Ambassador Joe Wilson and the mother of twins.
I voted for George Bush in November of 2000 because I was promised a President who would bring a new tone and a new ethical standard to Washington.
So where are we? The President has flip-flopped on his promise to fire anyone at the White House implicated in a leak. We now know from press reports that at least Karl Rove and "Scooter" Libby are implicated in these leaks and may have lied during the investigation.
Instead of a President concerned first and foremost with protecting this country and the intelligence officers who serve it, we are confronted with a President who is willing to sit by while political operatives savage the reputations of good Americans like Valerie and Joe Wilson.
This is wrong and this is shameful.
We deserve people who work in the White House who are committed to protecting classified information, telling the truth to the American people, and living by example the idea that a country at war with Islamic extremists cannot focus its efforts on attacking other American citizens who simply tried to tell the truth.
I am Larry Johnson. Thank you for listening.

Best Practices
In Switzerland, episodes of hail are increasingly frequent. Aside from agriculture, the biggest impact of such weather phenomena is on cars. These seasonal weather events affect over 50,000 of our customers every year. To address all of this in such a way as to satisfy customers in terms of the timeframes for repairs while respecting the environment, Generali Schweiz is promoting smart repair techniques. The technique - known as "repairing dents without paint" - enables the customer to reduce repair times and eliminate damage without the need for invasive methods like the use of filler or paint. It is estimated that this responsible practice, on its own, results in the recycling of otherwise "unstable" material and a significant reduction in CO2 emissions.
This modern technology makes it easier to localise losses and helps in claims management. Drones are mainly used to assess complex and large-scale losses in places where inspection is difficult or where there is a risk of accidents for personnel. They are used to inspect pavilions, large sites, construction machinery, cranes, planes and trains, bridges, dams, chimneys and tall buildings, plantations or farms and in the event of major floods or fires.
The inspection is carried out according to the prepared flight plan. The loss is discussed with the customer at the site in order to understand the full extent of the damage. The drone makes an HD video recording and explores the entire context of the damage. The flight normally lasts 15 minutes and produces detailed and rounded images that we would never have been able to obtain with a standard inspection. The photographic/video documentation collected is then saved on an archive disk for further analysis and future use.
Drones therefore offer various advantages:
- the images produced accurately identify the real extent and cause of the damage
- the speed and absence of risk during the evaluations are also important advantages, avoiding accidents involving people in potentially hazardous contexts
- drones can also be used to prevent damage through preventive and precautionary inspections, in the same way as they are carried out following an accident
- they improve relations with the customer, who react favourably to the use of this technology
- they act as deterrents to fraudulent behaviour as they enable unparalleled levels of objectivity.
The new data collection and modelling capacities are proving to be an important source of effectiveness and efficiency: data can be explored and used in any format to generate significant information and to help make quick decisions. The aim of all of this is to obviously improve the services provided to the customer. This is why Generali is testing the power of artificial intelligence in claims management, particularly in the field of the inspection of reimbursements, one of the key components in the process of managing compensation requests in claims.
The automatic processing of claim files using advanced text analysis techniques makes it possible to bring the presence of potential reimbursements in the request file to the attention of the "settlements" or quality control departments. This process is also "smart" because during the various text analyses the "machine" learns and adapts to recognise the language, also remembering data it has analysed in the past.
This results in faster settlements between insurance companies or between insurers and third parties.
In Italy the Qui per Voi service is available: an action procedure in the event of significant damage caused by a natural event which can involve many people. Through Generali Qui per Voi, the Natural Events Team takes action within 48 hours and, if physical locations are not available, a mobile office ensures that the team is fully operational in the area of the event.
The activation process involves company staff, assessors, claims adjusters and agents, as well as:
- watchmen, who monitor the event in the area
- the event manager, who activates the appropriate services for the emergency situation
- the task force that supports the agencies throughout the country, dealing with the opening of claims files and the identification and coordination of partners for defining losses and settling claims
- a dedicated line, to promptly assist customers
- a mobile operating base, in the case that natural events make local structures and agencies unusable.
Thanks to the involvement of several specialised partners, Generali Qui per Voi provides immediate renovation and repair services. The services differ in the event of damage to homes, businesses or cars and include house cleaning with the support of a network of craftsmen, the renovation of facilities and machinery, the securing of non-damaged material, the intervention of specialist repairers, a temporary shop for repaired or salvaged goods, and an advanced payment on damages due.
Fraud is an increasingly insidious phenomenon which impacts all sectors, including the insurance industry.
The Generali Group has launched a programme to combat fraud, focusing particular attention on claims, putting its trust in all the persons involved in damage compensation activities as well as an advanced process analysis system.
Thanks to this programme, in the last three years the Group has been able to identify twice as many instances of fraudulent behaviour.
Such behaviours may constitute:
- fraudulent events caused deliberately. Such incidents mainly occur in areas where there is lots of traffic where fraudsters deliberately cause collisions or what appear to be genuine accidents.
- reports of the theft of cars covered by insurance policies that come from the "black market", with the goal of making financial gains. Combating this type of fraud also contributes to improving international safety, preventing organised criminal activities such as money laundering, terrorism and so on.
Our anti-fraud programme actively involves the claims community through:
- responsible and technically advanced credit management
- the creation of special investigation units and the development of processes for the prevention and mitigation of insurance fraud
- training on fraud for all employees
- relations with other stakeholders on the market to share knowledge on insurance fraud

Packages come in all sizes and are made of a wide range of materials. Packaging is a 3-dimensional environment that is one way a brand interacts with their users. Packaging expresses information about both the brand that produces it and the product inside, it is used for protection, security and as a point of sale. Packaging is part of the Brand messaging system and is used to express the value of the product and company that produces it. Visual elements and colors of packaging are used to distinguish it from its competitors on the shelf or on a screen. Packaging can be the first and last thing a consumer sees and connects with.
Package design follows a similar path of development to product design, involving researching multiple areas. Good package design goes through many iterations and revisions while working with the process that will be used to manufacture it. On these projects I worked in both a team and solo environments. I used Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator in their production.

Smart-Take: Lyme Disease
Add the spread of Lyme Disease to the growing list of threats posed by global warming. Warming trends, Scientific American reported recently, increase both the range of geographies that disease-carrying ticks can survive and lengthens their feeding times. The report comes after a study published in the journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B, and highlights the need for greater awareness of the prevalence of the disease—and an understanding of how to protect yourself from it.

Lumatek - Ballasts - 230-400V
More light equals more yield! The Lumatek Electronic adjustable Ballast produces up to 30% more light output (lumens) than standard core and coil (magnetic) ballasts while drawing less electricity. Test data has shown that a Lumatek 600 watt ballast produces only 5% less usable light than a 1000 watt "core and coil" ballast.
Digitals do not degrade and will maintain their efficiency throughout their entire life. Over time magnetics become louder, produce less light, emit more heat and use more electricity. This is fully adjustable digital ballast from lumatek available in 600w 1000w.
Lumatek Ballasts Features
- "Dimmable" with SUPER LUMENS SWITCH!
- Dual voltage - 120/ 240 volt
- Completely silent (no humming - no vibration)

Dear Swimmers
I'm writing this update mid-air, somewhere over the Indian Ocean. Currently Paul Downie and Andrew Hunt are swimming the English Channel and despite hoping that I would have phone access on the Emirates flight to check how they're going (the A380 has a special "air waves" function that allows you to call any mobile anywhere in the world for $5 per minute), alas, it doesn't work! Technology hey...?!
Open Water Sessions:
Anyway, on Saturday 1st October and Saturday 8th October, we shall be running two special open water swim sessions to help kick-start your triathlon and open water racing season. We will have the 8 coaches out from the UK who will be helping run these sessions and they're guaranteed to be a lot of fun. The focus will be on open water specific skills such as drafting, sighting and turning and will feature a few fun relays as well to get the heart pumping! The sessions will meet at 7.15am for a 7.30am (prompt) start and will be at Cottesloe Beach. In the event of inclement weather, we shall move the sessions down to my new favourite open water swimming venue down at Claremont Jetty on the Swan River - it really is great for this type of work. I'll keep you posted. Cost is just one tick off your session card (or $15 casual) and will run for 60 minutes. I really hope quite a few of you can make these two excellent sessions. Depending on the popularity, we'll look at the feasibility of a more regular open water session for the schedule.
The Rottnest Channel Swim Program 2011/12:
Last year we had an amazing number of the squad compete at the Rottnest Channel Swim with some 34 Solos, a couple of dozen Duos and a gaggle of Teams. This year, we're hoping to make it even bigger and better and to look within our own resources to start pairing people up for Duos, creating some in-house Teams and helping the new Soloists find willing and able support crews and boats. Hopefully all the English Channel swims recently have been enough to inspire a bit of an urge to give this sort of an event a go...now we just need to cultivate that.
I'd love to get an official confirmation from everyone in the squad who will be competing as a Solo, Duo or Team and preferably your Team / Duo name if you already know it? Please flick your details through to me, i.e. Joe Bloggs, Team, "The Crazy Swingers" etc and I'll start keeping a record. Also, let me know if you wish to be added to the specific Rottnest Program email list which will essentially keep you posted with detailed session plans for Saturday and Sunday's long sessions.
The new program template for 2011/12 can be downloaded here:
As you're looking at the program, it is broken down week by week starting from Monday 10th October and running for a period of 20 weeks up to the event. The weeks are grouped into phases, e.g. Establish Consistency, Threshold Development etc with an easier Recovery week sandwiched between these phases where volume is reduced.
I have given my recommendation with respect to how many sessions you should be doing per week and also the recommended volume of training per week in kilometres depending on whether you are doing a Team, Duo or Solo. The funny "+" signs are predominantly for the Duo and Solo swimmers, showing them when I'd recommend they do a double-up 2hr session on a Tuesday and/or Friday, subject to lane space availability. This is purely a recommendation, doubtless you could complete the Rottnest Channel Swim on less volume than this, or you may decide that you want to do more - the key though (whatever you do) is for your training program to be consistent and avoid sudden massive jumps in volume especially at the start of your program.
We are going to target 4 key Open Water Races in the lead-up to the "Big One" (5 if you include the Rottnest Swim Thru) - again these are recommendations and as each of these races has a different set of distances, I've given my recommendations for which distance you should attempt based on which category you are racing on the big day.
All but the Green highlighted weekend sessions will be un-coached / un-supervised. I will however, often join you at some of these sessions as a swimmer myself, depending on how things pan out with the new arrival of our baby at the end of October. Each week, I'll send out a suggested session for either the Saturday or Sunday session via email to the specific Rottnest Channel Swim email group. I will recommend when / where to meet for this, but sometimes you might be on your own here or actually choose to do these by yourself anyway. As an endurance swim like Rottnest is as much a mental challenge as it is physical, training by yourself (so long as you're safe of course) every now and again is not a bad thing to get used to the seclusion that the watery environment presents.
On that note, the Saturday sessions will be structured as such:
- Weeks 1 to 3 = pool based
- Weeks 4 to 6 = start in the pool and finish with 2km in the ocean / river
- Weeks 9 to 11 = start in the pool and finish with 4km in the ocean / river
- Weeks 12 to 19 = all in the ocean / river, apart from Week 15 which will be our super-special 12km Rotto Pool Set
Right, just 3 weeks to go then until we officially start, in the meantime, pop down to the squad and get your arms turning over ready for what promises to be an excellent summer of swimming!

Kerry Washington's 'ELLE' Cover — How To Get Her Salty Beach Waves
Kerry Washington is the face of 'ELLE' mag's April issue, and she looks drop-dead-gorgeous in nothing but a sweatshirt. We are obsessed with her salty beach waves, and lucky for you, you can recreate her hairstyle for less!
Kerry Washington, 39, has graced to the cover of ELLE magazine for it's April issue, and we have never seen the actress look so flawless. She is rocking the no-makeup makeup look and for the first time, we're seeing a grungy side of Kerry we've never seen before — we love it! The best part about the cover, though, is her salty beach waves and you can get her beachy hair, here!
Kerry is always so pulled together and perfect with not even a hair out of place. So, seeing her with messy salted hair and smudged eye makeup is the best thing ever — she is flawless.
On the cover, she rocked a gray Shinola sweatshirt, Cartier earrings and a bracelet, as well as Van Cleef & Arpels bangles. Ok, let's break this down because we're obsessed with Kerry's spread. She is featured in a slew of photos taken on the beach and she is covered in sand — it is seriously sexy.
It looks like Kerry just went swimming in the ocean with some mascara on, came back to shore, and air dried her hair while she tanned in the sun — wow, we are dreaming of summer. Her waves are so natural and messy, which can be so easily recreated if you can't get to a beach. Try Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray, which is literally a miracle product. Spritz some on your damp hair and walk out the door and within minutes, you will have effortless, salted beach waves.
Aside from Kerry looking drop-dead-gorgeous in the photoshoot, she also had a lot to say about Scandal, her upcoming HBO show, Confirmation, and motherhood.
Kerry explained how playing Olivia Pope, (our hero), prepped her for motherhood. "Even though Olivia Pope has obviously made the decision that she is not a mom, playing her made me feel like I could be a mom. Because she knows there's always another way—there's always a way to fix it, there's always a way to solve it, to win. And I feel like playing her made me feel like, All right, I can do it. I will figure out how to juggle it all." Wow, Kerry is Olivia Pope in real life and now our lives are officially complete.
We love Kerry so much and we cannot wait for this issue to hit newsstands on March 22, can you?

Last year, it was Prima Toys' Furby that made most kids' Christmas wishlists. This year, it will likely be Xenó and MIP that become the most wanted (and possibly nagged for). I haven't tried them out yet, but they're on my review wishlist.
Xenó is a little monster that craves care and attention in the most adorable way. When you give him love and attention, he will respond to your touch and communicate with you. He has more than 40 expressions, and eight responsive sensors so that he reacts and moves to the touch. He comes equipped with a microphone and speaker and has three different modes in which to train him.
Xenó can also interact with others of his species. Place them together and they will soon be chatting happily together. Xenó also has his own app linking you to the Xenó community.
Suitable for kids between 5 and 8, Xenó is available at leading retail outlets for around R1 199.
MiP is a balancing robot that can be controlled using the MIP app on an Android or iOS phone. It's controlled via hand gestures, and you can get the MIP to dance and roam. You can also stack him with objects to see how many he can carry (he can carry his own bodyweight), plus get him to do tricks. There are also seven game modes.
The MIP is available from leading toy stores for around R1 800.

Capital Digestive Care announces a grand re-opening of its office in Prince George's County, located at 12150 Annapolis Road in Glenn Dale, MD. Effective May 3rd, 2019, five top gastroenterologists will be available to see patients across the full spectrum of GI health.
The office will be staffed by Dr. Priti Bijpuria, Dr. Lauren Halvorson, Dr. Sean Karp, Dr. Marvin E. Lawrence, and Dr. Darryn Potosky. These physicians bring a strong commitment to patient care and familiarity with the residents of Prince George's county, including the Bowie, Glenn Dale and Laurel areas. From common GI health issues to complex conditions, these physicians evaluate and treat patients for colon and rectal cancer, acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, gallbladder disease, liver disease and more.
The Glenn Dale location first opened two years ago in response to Prince George's County's growing population, which has been traditionally underserved by medical specialists. By bringing five gastroenterology specialists to the area, we are able to offer more appointment accessibility and a broader range of specialized care. We are especially excited to introduce our two female gastroenterologists, Dr. Priti Bijpuria and Dr. Lauren Halvorson who have a special interest in women's digestive health. Gastroenterology can be a sensitive subject for some patients, but as Dr. Halvorson explains in this video, women can have unique needs when it comes to digestive care.
The re-opening of the Glenn Dale office brings the number of Capital Digestive Care locations to 16 in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. This is in addition to our 13 hospital affiliations and 8 ambulatory surgical centers. To schedule an appointment at our Glenn Dale office, please call 301-498-5500 or visit the location's page here on our site.

The Sequel: Convenient Food
The Original: Necessary Food
Helpful Information
1) I have a separate Canadian distributor! Click these links to order both of my books from Healthy Family Foods in Manitoba, Canada: NECESSARY FOOD & CONVENIENT FOOD
2) You can make international orders through any of the checkout buttons above, but yes, the shipping is rather high. I'm sorry! I don't have any other international shipping options right now. I've looked into several and haven't found anything that a) works for me as a self publisher and b) is easy enough for me to figure out. I'll keep looking!
3) If given the choice, I would prefer for people to order here through my website instead of through Amazon. These orders go through a small, privately-owned distributor (a different arm of the same company that prints the books) and I don't have to pay nearly as many fees if they're shipped out to customers from the same place they were made!
4) I don't run many sales or package deals because my preference is to price each book as low as possible to give you a fair price all the time instead of only a few times a year! As a self-published author my costs are higher than most books published through big publishing houses, but I assure you that each book has TONS of great value and has been specifically designed with your happiness in mind. Hard covers with spiral binding cost way more for me to print than a paperback version would, but I think the end product is worth the extra expense and smaller margins on my end.
5) I do plan to release both books as ebooks sometime in the future, but I'm having a hard time staying on top of everything blog and cookbook related since getting married and I'm not sure when I'm going to be able to research and tackle this project.

Last week, the Office for Information Technology Policy (OITP) hosted a lunch and discussion for the 2014 Google Policy Fellows. Members from various policy organizations including the Center for Democracy and Technology, the National Consumers League, and Public Knowledge attended to learn more about ALA's role in shaping technology policy and addressing library needs. Alan Inouye, Larra Clark, Marijke Visser and Charlie Wapner all shared their role and policy focus at OITP, and Jessica McGilvray and Jeffrey Kratz represented the Office for Government Relations (OGR), along with Communications Specialist Jacob Roberts. The lunch also gave the fellows a chance to ask questions and share their research interests at their respective host organizations in further detail. In many cases, interests and positions overlapped, and it was a good opportunity for sharing resources and perspectives on such topics as copyright, 3D printing, and net-neutrality in the non-commercial sphere.
The Google Policy Fellowship program is a great way to bring together passionate people engaged with aspects of technology policy ranging from privacy and disruptive innovation to E-rate and digital inclusion. One thing that was clear from the discussion around the lunch table was that the policy implications of information technology are complex, and organizations' interests often converge and diverge on a case by case basis. The informal question-and-answer format also provided a good platform for addressing libraries' roles and interests in technology and innovation. Although deeply involved in the policy world, many attendees were not aware of key aspects of the library's evolution in the digital age, such as increasingly offering ebooks and makerspaces, which require close involvement with policies governing the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and First Sale Doctrine. Overall, it was a good opportunity to expand the conversation, reflect on recent Federal Communications Commission decisions, and consider the future of libraries and other tech-related fields in the spectrum of current policy.

Leading a life that entails attending events, hosting shows and entertaining guests at high-profile gatherings, with all the travelling, climate changes and makeup calls these entail, can take a toll on your skin. So how do South Africa's leading ladies do all this but still look so fantastic?
One of their secrets is Croatian natural skincare range Nikel Cosmetics. Mirjana Brlečić, the founder of Nikel Cosmetics, leads a demanding life herself, and she's developed her skincare range with only natural plant-activated ingredients to give skin the support it needs to regenerate and rejuvenate.
Set aside time for a proper skincare routine
Seasoned DJ, actress, television presenter and journalist Zuraida Jardine knows all too well the extra attention that goes into always looking at the top of your game. "I have a family, studies and a demanding schedule, so I have to make sure I have a support system in place so nothing gets neglected or forgotten," she says.
Making the time for a proper skincare routine is essential, Jardine insists, to always looking rested and youthful. She recommends "being present to the process of using my range of Nikel Cosmetics and not just putting on the products". By taking the time to massage the products into her skin, for example, "I create a deeper circulation which makes my skin look plumper from increased blood flow," she says.
Being in the spotlight means your appearance needs to be immaculate, and Brlečić advises adding a few drops of the Nikel Anti-Wrinkle Elixir with 12 plant oils and extracts to your nighttime moisturiser to help give your skin a healthy, natural glow the next day.
Stay connected to your family and support network
Singer Amor Vittone is also a busy mom. Without the support of her family, she says, keeping to her performance schedule would be no easy feat. And checking in with the key people in life is part of that. "Nothing is better than a pampering session with my daughter and giving each other facials using Nikel's fantastic range," she says.
Brlečić recommends preparing your skin with the Immortelle Cleansing Milk before your pampering session. This internationally awarded product is lightweight and works wonders to remove make-up as well as the dirt and other impurities accumulated on your skin throughout the day.
Take time out
"In order to look good on the outside, you need to feel good on inside," says Jardine. Setting aside time, even if it's just for 10 minutes, to catch your breath and remind yourself to take each challenge one step at a time, can make a huge difference. "Being mindful and allowing yourself time to relax and recentre yourself, helps tremendously to keep going at a fast pace," she notes.
"When I feel like giving my skin an instant refreshing boost, I give it a spritz of The Nikel Alpine Rose Tonic with Alpine Rose Stem Cells," says Vittone. The toner helps repair your skin and increases the vitality of its stem cells.

Today's early morning highlights from the major news organizations.
Kaiser Health News:
Hospitals And Surgery Centers Play Tug-Of-War Over America's Ailing Knees
Five years ago, Dr. Ira Kirschenbaum, an orthopedic surgeon in the Bronx who replaces more than 200 knees each year, would have considered it crazy to send a patient home the same day as a knee replacement operation. And yet there he was this year, as the patient, home after a few hours. A physician friend pierced his skin at 8 a.m. at a Seattle-area surgery center. By lunch, Kirschenbaum was resting at his friend's home, with no pain and a new knee. (Jewett, 12/21)
Kaiser Health News:
Aging And Addicted: The Opioid Epidemic Affects Older Adults, Too
As the nation grapples with a devastating opioid epidemic, concerns have primarily focused on young people buying drugs on the street. But America's elderly also have a problem. Over the past several decades, physicians have increasingly prescribed seniors pain medications to address chronic pain from arthritis, cancer, neurological diseases and other illnesses that become more common in later life. (Gold, 12/21)
Kaiser Health News:
In Battle Against Ovarian Cancer, A New Focus On Fallopian Tubes
Two thin tubes that connect the ovaries to the uterus have assumed an outsize role in the battle against ovarian cancer. Research increasingly points to the likelihood that some of the most aggressive ovarian cancers originate in the fallopian tubes. Most doctors now believe there is little to lose by removing the tubes of women who are done bearing children — and potentially much to gain in terms of cancer prevention. (Wiener, 12/21)
Los Angeles Times:
Millions More Americans Able To Afford Doctor's Visit Under Obamacare, Study Shows
The Affordable Care Act's historic expansion of health insurance coverage has brought medical care within reach of millions of Americans who previously couldn't afford it, new research shows. The share of adults who skipped medical care because of costs dropped by nearly one-fifth between 2013 and 2015, according to a report from the Commonwealth Fund. (Levey, 12/20)
Researchers Race To Copy Obamacare Data For Fear It Will Vanish
Spooked by Trump's rhetoric and pledge to repeal Obamacare, several dozen independent researchers are racing to download key health care data and documents before Jan. 20. They say they began the effort on their own, and then got a boost from Jeanne Lambrew, the White House's top health reform official, who also sounded alarms the new administration might expunge reams of information from public websites and end access to data, researchers told POLITICO. (Diamond, 12/21)
Obamacare Recipients Go To Court To Protect Funding
Donald Trump won't be sworn in as president for another month, but one of the first salvos in a forthcoming legal war against his administration was launched Tuesday as people who get subsidies under Obamacare asked to intervene in a lawsuit that threatens to shut down funding key to the health insurance program. (Gerstein, 12/20)
The Wall Street Journal:
New York City Mayor Aims To Insure Thousands More Under Affordable Care Act
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio wants to enroll 50,000 people in health insurance under the Affordable Care Act by the end of next year, a move officials said would save the city's cash-strapped hospital system $40 million a year. President-elect Donald Trump and Republican leaders have vowed to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Mr. de Blasio, a supporter of universal health care, said he believes growing enrollment will make that more difficult. (Gay, 12/20)
Los Angeles Times:
'I'm Running Out Of Medicine.' Paperwork Backlog Costs Some Their Medi-Cal Coverage
Thaddeus Moncrief has gone for months without three medicines he takes to control his high blood pressure. He also stopped leaving his home in Lancaster because he's running dangerously low on catheters he uses with his wheelchair. ... Moncrief is one of many Los Angeles County residents who say they were wrongly dropped from Medi-Cal, the state's healthcare program for low-income and disabled Californians, and have struggled to regain coverage and see their doctors. The patients say they turned in their renewal paperwork on time to the county, but lost coverage anyway. (Karlamangla, 12/20)
The New York Times:
Senate Aims To Stop Firms From 'Buying Up Drugs And Jacking Up Prices'
On the heels of headline-grabbing price spikes on prescription drugs, a bipartisan Senate report on Wednesday will call on Congress to take action to prevent huge, unjustified cost increases on decades-old prescription medicines that have no competition. The Senate Special Committee on Aging, reporting the results of a yearlong investigation, said that some drug companies behaved like hedge funds because of the influence of "activist investors." These companies, the committee said, have developed a "business model that harms patients, taxpayers and the U.S. health care system." (Pear, 12/21)
Democrats Seek Trump's Cooperation On Drug Price Reform
A group of Democratic senators took their plans to tackle rising drug costs to President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday, asking him to work with them and Republicans on the issue. In a letter dated Tuesday, the 19 senators named five areas for cooperation: allowing the Medicare program to negotiate prescription prices, increasing transparency, stopping abusive pricing, passing reform on incentives for innovation and supporting generic competition for branded drugs. (Humer, 12/20)
The New York Times:
Medicaid Funding To End For Planned Parenthood In Texas, State Says
In a critical step in a longstanding fight, Texas formally said on Tuesday that it was ending Medicaid funding of Planned Parenthood, a move the group said could affect 11,000 patients. The office of inspector general for the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued a final notice terminating Planned Parenthood's enrollment in the state-funded health care system for the poor. If it is not stopped, the termination will be effective in 30 days. (Mele, 12/20)
The New York Times:
2 Former Flint Emergency Managers Charged Over Tainted Water
A criminal investigation into this city's water crisis reached into the top ranks of supervision over Flint on Tuesday as Michigan officials announced felony charges against two former state-appointed emergency managers, accusing them of fixating on saving money rather than on the safety of residents. (Davey and Smith, 12/20)
The Washington Post:
Four More Officials Charged With Felonies In Flint Water Crisis
Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette filed another round of criminal charges Tuesday in the ongoing water crisis in Flint, the latest action in a nearly year-long investigation to hold accountable those responsible for a disaster that exposed thousands of children to dangerously high lead levels. Schuette announced felony charges against four people, including two former state-appointed emergency managers who oversaw a disastrous switch of the city's drinking water source to the Flint River. Darnell Earley, whom Gov. Rick Snyder (R) put in charge of the city's finances from late 2013 through early 2015, and Gerald Ambrose, who held the emergency manager position through April 2015, could face decades in prison. (Dennis, 12/20)
The Wall Street Journal:
Michigan Attorney General Brings More Criminal Charges Over Water Crisis
Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette said the latest charges indicate that investigators weren't afraid to pursue officials at any level of government who bore responsibility for the water crisis. "The tragedy that we know as the Flint water crisis did not occur by accident," Mr. Schuette said at a news conference Tuesday morning. "No. Flint was a casualty of arrogance, disdain and a failure of management, an absence of accountability, shirking of responsibility." (Maher, 12/20)
USA Today:
VA Reverses Course, Releases Health Care Quality Data
The Department of Veterans Affairs has quietly released quality-of-care ratings for its medical centers across the country, despite years of refusing to share them with the public. The move follows a USA TODAY investigation that revealed ratings for 146 VA medical centers for the first time earlier this month. VA Secretary Bob McDonald complained at the time that their publication across the USA TODAY Network caused "unwarranted distress" to veterans and could dissuade them from getting care. (Slack, 12/20)
The Associated Press:
Trump Hosts Candidates For Key Veterans Affairs Post
President-elect Donald Trump met Tuesday met with candidates for his unfilled Cabinet positions, including prospective hires to run the Department of Veterans Affairs, a beleaguered agency that the Republican businessman has vowed to overhaul. Vice President-elect Mike Pence met with members of his incoming national security team a day after acts of violence rocked the world. (Lemire, 12/20)
The Washington Post:
Opioid Drugs Make Pain Tolerable, Most Long-Term Users Say
At the center of the nation's opioid crisis is a simple fact: Large numbers of Americans experience serious pain, and the vast majority of those who have used strong painkillers for a long period say they work. That's one key takeaway from a new Washington Post-Kaiser Family Foundation national poll of long-term opioid users, people who have taken the drugs for at least two months during the past two years. (Guskin, 12/20)
The New York Times:
Trading Hospital Rooms For Hotel Suites
When out-of-town patients used to travel to NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, some would find that their best option for staying close to the hospital for early-morning surgery involved a trip over the George Washington Bridge from New Jersey. Enter the Edge Hotel, a 54-room property that opened in the fall of 2015 in Upper Manhattan, an area with few other lodgings. (Hughes, 12/20)
Los Angeles Times:
Pomona Hospital Workers Say They Were Pressured To Stay Silent About Dirty Conditions
Six workers at Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center say management tried to keep them from speaking out about possible patient infections and unsafe working conditions by asking them to sign confidentiality agreements. The hospital had requested interviews with the workers after they spoke to The Times about their fears that patients were being sickened by dirty conditions that management had ignored. (Petersen, 12/20)
The Associated Press:
Alabama Inmate Kills Self After Mental Health Testimony
An Alabama inmate found dead in his cell apparently killed himself just weeks after testifying in a trial accusing the state of denying proper mental health care to prisoners, officials said Tuesday. The Department of Corrections said Jamie Wallace, 24, was found dead in an apparent suicide five days earlier. He was found hanged in his cell at the Bullock County prison, about 45 miles southeast of Montgomery. (12/20)
Mumps On Rise, But Vaccine Makes Cases Milder
There's a bump in the number of cases of the mumps this year in the United States. This highly infectious disease is much less hazardous than it was decades ago, but health officials are still reacting strongly to several big outbreaks. (Harris, 12/20)
The New York Times:
Study Tied To Food Industry Tries To Discredit Sugar Guidelines
A prominent medical journal on Monday published a scathing attack on global health advice to eat less sugar. Warnings to cut sugar, the study argued, are based on weak evidence and cannot be trusted. But the review, published in The Annals of Internal Medicine, quickly elicited sharp criticism from public health experts because the authors have ties to the food and sugar industries.

Development » Games and interactive activities
Aid activities
These activities are interactive for pupils to use. The first page focuses on types of aid, whilst the second page looks at the Aswan Dam. The mark, back and next buttons all work, although you can't move onto page two until page one has been attempted..
Aid match up
This match up activity requires pupils to drag the correct defintions to the correct answers. In this case they need to match up the key words with their definitions.
Development half a min
This task gives pupils a key word from the topic that is jumbled up. Pupils have 30 seconds to enter the correct answer, against the countdown timer.
Development penalty shootout
This penalty shootout is designed specifically for KS4 pupils. Pupils simply answer a question and then take their penalty. It has the option for 1 or 2 players and works well with the class split into two teams.
Guess what development
A taboo style game where 1 pupil has to have his or her back to the board. Pupils then take turns describing key words to this person, without using a set of banned key words.
MEDC/LEDC sorting game
This game asks pupils to sort the flags into the correct MEDC and LEDC groupings. There is a mark and reset button at the bottom, and it can lead nicely into a discussion about whether some countries were easier to classify than others.
UK v Kenya sorting game
In this sorting game, pupils need to sort out the indicator values for Kenya and the UK. The mark and feedback buttons work for when the activity is complete.

How clever is your puppy? Do you think you have a Canine Einstein or does your pooch have an IQ that is surpassed by that of a plank of wood?
There are many canine IQ tests in books and many appear on the internet and because of breed differences and testing variables, it could well be impossible to create a scientifically valid IQ test for dogs - but who cares? It's fun seeing how inventive your pooch can be.
You will note that, in some of these tests your pup's body length is used to standardise test distances used with each assessment. This is an attempt to cater for pups of different sizes and to give better consistency with the results.
Mark a 'start' line on the ground by using a piece of chalk or similar.
Measure the distance of your puppy from the tip of its nose to the base of its tail (where the tail joins the spine) and ask your assistant to hold your dog four puppy-lengths from the start line.
Let your puppy smell its favourite food treat, then place the treat on the ground on the start line. Encourage your pup to 'SEEK' the treat. Repeat three times.
If your pup picks up the food each time within five seconds, your pup has proven it is a pig and has thus qualified to compete in the test!!!
You will need three toilet-roll cores, a small quantity of food treats (e.g. Eukanuba Smart Puppy Food) and an assistant (and your dog!).
Place the three toilet roll cores, side by side, on the start line.
Place one food treat in the centre of one of the toilet roll cores.
Your assistant releases the puppy as you encourage it to 'SEEK' the food.
Use a stop watch to time how long it takes your pup to retrieve the treat from inside the toilet-roll core. Start timing at the moment your pup crosses the start line.
Repeat three times, noting the time for each.
Download a video of this test 6MB MPEG
This test is similar to Toilet Roll Turmoil except that the pup can see the food, not smell the food. It is a more difficult test.
For this test you will need three disposable see-through plastic cups of the type commonly available from supermarkets for party supplies.
1. Place the three cups, side by side, on the start line.
2. Let your pup see you place a food treat under one of the cups.
3. Your assistant releases the puppy as you encourage it to 'SEEK' the food.
4. Use a stop watch to time how long it takes your pup find and then to retrieve the treat from under the cup. Start timing at the moment your pup crosses the start line.
Repeat three times, noting the time for each.
For this test you will need several sheets of newspaper and your dog's favourite food treat.
Place a sheet of newspaper opened flat on the ground on the start line. Have your pup held by your assistant.
Drop or place a food treat in the middle of the piece of the newspaper and use the word 'SEEK' to encourage your pup to get the food. Repeat three times
This will teach your pup to expect a find a food treat on the newspaper.
Now place the food treat in the centre of the newspaper but fold the newspaper in half to hide the treat.
Again encourage your pup to 'SEEK' the food treat and time his or her attempt starting at the moment the pup crosses the start line.
Repeat three times, noting the time for each.
For this test, you will need a clean three-litre plastic milk carton. Cut a large, round, oval hole in one side of the carton, essentially cutting out the label. Do this by inserting a sharp knife into the side of the carton to create a slit and then insert a pair of scissors into the slit to cut the hole. Be sure there are no sharp edges on the rim of the hole.
Place the carton on the ground, cut surface down on the starting line.
Place a food treat onto the surface of the carton and encourage your pup to 'SEEK' the food treat.
Repeat three times to teach the new routine.
Now stand the carton vertically with the cut surface facing away from the pup.
Place a food treat inside the carton and encourage your pup to 'SEEK' the food treat.
Time your pup's attempt but don't distract the pup with your laughing!
Repeat three times, noting the time for each.
For this test you need yourself, an assistant and your pup.
Your assistant holds your pup at the end of your hallway.
Walk off into your bedroom and hide behind your bed.
Call your pup enthusiastically and when your delighted pup finds you, praise it and give it a food treat.
Repeat three times.
Now hide in a different location in your bedroom such as in your wardrobe.
Call your pup.
Use a stop watch to determine how long it takes your pup to find you in the new location.
Repeat three times, noting the time for each.
Now let's determine if your pooch has the intellect of a Canine Einstein or door mat on a bad hair day!
For each test, take the fastest score of your three measurements. You will have five scores. Add them together to get an overall score.
Overall score below 15 seconds - You have a Canine Einstein. Contact the Guinness Book of World Records for inclusion in the next edition!
Overall score between 15 and 25 seconds.
Your pooch is a Mensa Mutt. Enroll him or her at University - it's a scholar.
Overall score between 25 and 35 seconds.
You have a normal pet with normal intelligence. Give it a big hug.
Overall score between 35 and 60 seconds.
Well cerebral dexterity may not be its strong point but it has enough intelligence to find a food bowl at 10 paces and that's all life requires!
Overall score longer than 60 seconds.
You were testing the door mat. Now repeat the test with a real dog.

AFROPUNK has come and gone leaving shards of cowry shells and trampled kente cloth blowing in the breeze around Commodore Barry Park. Now that we've put away our gold and washed off our blue lipstick, we here at Progressive Pupil can't thank you all enough for your support on the success of Activism Row.
All summer we've been waiting to share Activism Row with the world, and this weekend we finally got to watch that dream come true. The row became a small community within the community, with our participating organizations like Milk Not Jails setting up their ice cream shop at the mouth of the gate, BAJI providing face painting sessions for the onlookers and kids, and Brooklyn's chapter of the NAACP handing out shirts to new members and sign. As the weekend rolled on, there was spontaneous support for all of the injustices caused by the police. Everyone went home with full mailing lists and it was great interacting with a lot of our Progressive Pupil online family in person. The response from the press has been just as wonderful, and we'd like to thank Ebony, Allhiphop.com, MSNBC and others for their attention and support.
BUT, just because AFROPUNK is over that doesn't mean that our work is done. We hope to work with all of our partners again very soon and hope that you'll join us for all of their upcoming events. Black Alliance for Just Immigration (BAJI) will begin its First Friday Freedom Film Series on September 5th, with a screening of the 2010 documentary Freedom Riders. Girls for Gender Equity would love us all to recognize and celebrate International Day of the Girl Child on October 11. Finally, we hope to see you at the People's Climate March from September 20-21, sponsored by the Natural Resource Defense Council.
A special thanks goes to exalt youth, Peta, Milk not Jails, Girls for Gender Equity, the NRDC, the NAACP, and all of our Progressive Pupil volunteers and family. We had a great time, and we're looking forward to another exciting AFROPUNK in 2015.

Before I even learned that I would be taking on a larger role in helping to train the teachers at my school to use Chromebooks in their classrooms (see previous post), I had already been working on my own to complete the coursework necessary to become a Google Certified Educator. I thought that becoming a Google Certified Educator would make me more marketable while searching for a full-time school Technology Coach/Specialist position.
Anyway, through the Chromebook training I had already completed online, I learned that one of the most important points to remember when getting started with Chromebooks is that the Chromebooks should be assigned to individual students and those students should use the same device every time to save time logging in and to help keep track of who should be held responsible should any hardware damages occur.
Therefore, I needed to develop a system for labeling and assigning computers before distributing them to teachers to use in their classrooms. After discussing the issue with other teachers, we decided that using the circular yard-sale-pricing-type dot stickers would be the perfect solution. I labeled each teacher's Chromebooks with a different color dot sticker. I labeled each sticker with the first initial of the teacher's last name and a number. For example, the tablets in my classroom are labeled J1-J10 with yellow dot stickers.
Once all the tablets were labeled, I asked each teacher to divide their students into pairs (preferably pairs that get along well because students may occasionally have to work together in pairs on assignments). Once teachers had their students divided into pairs, I delivered each teacher's labelled tablets to their classroom and helped them add each pair of students to their assigned tablet.
It was a lot of work on the front end, but the system seems to be working very well, and I think all the teachers appreciated the fact that I came in and helped them add their students to each tablet. Now that you've heard about my labeling system, I'd like to hear from you… How do you label and assign laptops/tablets in your classroom?
Happy Tech-ing!
