Data security awareness training is now live
More details...
IG Toolkit version 14.1 is now online, and as per the recent communication sent to IG Toolkit administrators and SIGNs Chairs, there are no substantive changes to requirements in V14.1 from V14.
You should note that V14.1 is an interim solution pending the introduction of a redesigned Information Governance Toolkit - as recommended in the National Data Guardian's Review of Data Security, Consent and Opt-outs, and based around assuring local implementation of the ten data sec
As you will be aware the NHS IGTT was decommissioned on 31 December 2016 and a replacement home for training is
in development. In the meantime, it is hoped that the materials below will provide support to organisations and
learners. If you would like to provide feedback about the content please use the Contact us form, or
email firstname.lastname@example.com and mark your query for the attention
of the IGTT refresh project.
NHS Trusts and CCGs can still complete a survey on how many records they intend to transfer to a place of deposit by 10 February 2017. The Survey is voluntary and is undertaken on an annual basis by the National Archives.
As you will now be aware the NHS IGTT was decommissioned on 31 December 2016 and a replacement home for training is in development. The materials below provide an early sight of the e-learning module that is in development and can be used as interim training materials until the new e-learning is available.
Further to the recent briefing about the closure of the IG Training Tool,
view and comment on materials giving an early sight of the e-learning module that is in development.
We have received some queries following the briefing about the closure of the NHS IG Training Tool (IGTT) and the new home for IG training in partnership with e-Learning for Healthcare. This additional message addresses the questions received to date.
"Information Governance is the responsibility of everyone" is a reminder for existing staff about their responsibility for good Information Governance when carrying out their work and "New to Care Sector Information Governance?
What you should know" is a guide for staff new to the concept of Information Governance and how it applies to health and care.
The current NHS IG Training Tool (IGTT) was developed some years ago to
provide annual IG awareness training. Following Government Digital Services and Department of
Health guidance, we are delighted to announce that we are working with Health Education England
on the development of a new home for awareness training via the e-Learning for Healthcare website.
Dear Colleagues
You may have heard or seen news reports that the IG toolkit is to be scrapped. I can reassure
you that this is not the case. There is a programme of work underway to improve the IGT,
to increase its relevance for senior managers, its accessibility for small organisations and
its focus on the new data security standards recommended by the National Data Guardian.
This guidance is provided to assist health and care organisations to determine whether or
not to share information with the police for crime related purposes. It covers circumstances
where personal information must be disclosed and the legal considerations where there is no
such imperative.
This report
covers the IG incidents reported by Health and Adult Social Care
organisations in England using the IG Incident Reporting Tool for the period 1 June 2015
to 31 May 2016. The report covers reportable data protection breaches and separately
considers what may be learned from near misses and incidents that are not significant
enough to report.
We are pleased to confirm that the National Data Guardian has published her review into
data security, consent and public trust. At the same time the CQC has published its
report into data security in the NHS and the Department of Health has launched a
consultation on the findings and recommendations.
The IGA has published two new guides: A revision to the "Data controller issues" document and
guidance about the Information Governance issues associated with remote consultations
using free video conferencing applications
The IG Toolkit Version 14 issues with uploading documents and the rogue requirement have been resolved.
With the National Data Guardian due to publish a report into Data Security Standards the IG Toolkit has been rolled over from Version 13 to Version 14. There are minor updates to outdated references and standards with an update for Local Authorities to take in account the introduction of new PSN connectivity compliance process.
This guidance is aimed at Care Homes who are completing their first Information Governance Assessment and includes:
Reminder for NHS Trusts, CSUs, CCGs, NHS England, HSCIC, Public Health England and Local Authorities
Local Authorities - V14 PSN & IGT Equivalence
IGA Short Guide - The Use of Mobile Devices in Hospitals
This guidance supports organisations wishing to enable the use of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) within a care environment and minimise the risks associated with this.
New Information Governance Toolkit Webinars for General and Dental Practices, Eye Care, and Care Homes.
The IGA is pleased to share the first issue of IGA News, our new quarterly newsletter
HSCIC has released a trial version of the new IG Toolkit assessment aimed specifically at independent contractors and care homes.

We have made some slight changes to how the "Submit" button looks when you submit your final assessment. The final "Submit" button will now say "Publish".
This Information Governance (IG) guidance provides NHS organisations with a general awareness of the associated risks for maintenance and disposal of fax printers and other devices that use consumable ribbon or film.

Some further system enhancements have been applied to the IGT Version 8 following feedback from users.
The NHS Operating Framework 2010/2011, through the NHS Informatics Planning Guidance Annex 1 (National Expectations) stated that: "An IG audit utilising the centrally provided audit methodology should be included within the work plans of each organisations' auditors".
Presentation slides for the recent workshops commissioned by the Department of Health are now available.
The July issue of the newsletter is now available for download.
We have put live a few minor system enhancements which didn't quite make it into the original launch of IGT Version 8.
The NHS Operating Framework 2010/2011 contains a requirement for all staff to receive annual basic IG training appropriate to their role through the online NHS IG Training Tool.
This Information Governance (IG) guidance provides NHS organisations with a general awareness of the associated risks for maintenance and disposal of digital printers, copiers and multifunction devices.

Guidance for NHS organisations on blogging and social networking.
Following on from user workshops and the 200+ feedback forms we received from IG Toolkit users
(thank you to everyone who participated), we have developed a "Vision Statement".
The central team has taken a number of queries recently asking whether we are able to provide a list of "IG Statement of Compliance approved" third parties. The fact of a completed IGSoC does not remove the requirement for commissioners to assure themselves that their providers/suppliers are meeting and maintaining information governance standards. Commissioners should therefore take into account the following information:
Information for Acute Trusts regarding requirement 401
Version 7 of the IG toolkit has now been released. This version of the toolkit contains the new 3-stage reporting process for the large NHS
trusts (i.e. Acute trusts, PCTs, foundation trusts, mental health trusts, ambulance trusts
and strategic health authorities).
Due to a number of queries raised and the changes to the reporting cycle for
version 7 onwards, some further information has been published regarding the Information
Governance Assurance Framework. As a result of the changes to the reporting cycle,
any changes to the IG Toolkit standards have been kept to a minimum, you can view these
changes in the Change Control Notice for Version 7 of the toolkit.
The Digital Information Policy team has published guidance aimed at those
responsible for managing information risk within NHS organisations, including
Senior Information Risk Owners and Information Asset Owners. It reflects
Government guidelines and is consistent with the Cabinet Office data handling
order to clarify new and existing requirements, a series of papers was issued to
NHS organisations setting out responsibilities for information governance and
for providing additional assurances on information governance to each strategic
health authority (SHA), or to Monitor, the Independent Regulator of NHS
Foundation Trusts.
An IG
toolkit assessment submission represents evidence of an organisation's
attainment against the IG standards at a particular point in time. This evidence
must be retained for audit purposes and cannot be overwritten by un-submitting
and adjusting scores. This process is expanded on in this article.
A resource pack has been developed to support "The evolving face of Information
Governance in Primary Care" workshops.
The importance of effective information security has been highlighted in
recent months through well publicised data handling failures in a range of
different UK organisational settings.
The IG Training Tool is an online tool focused on all aspects of Information
Governance learning. The aim of the tool is to provide all staff with an
opportunity to develop IG knowledge and skills to support the provision of high
quality health and social care.
The IG Toolkit contains an Information Mapping Tool to assist organisations
to map their flows of personal identifiable data and enable them to provide
assurance that flows are secure.
The Council is the national body for Caldicott Guardian's in the UK. It
is comprised of representatives from social care and the health sector, both NHS
and independent healthcare.

11. Don Revisited from Don (2006). The true test of music and vocals is whether they can stand independent of each other and still sound good. Don Revisited (Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy) barely has lyrics to it (five words from the dialogue), but easily makes my top five Bollywood tracks for use at the gym. Never mind Don could make time to turn back during a car chase when speeding through underneath a truck moving at a different speed! :)
10. Ghumyo Chakkar from Aamir (2008), courtesy new Music Director Amit Trivedi. If you've seen the film, you know how delightfully it is integrated with the screenplay. "The wheel spins," it says. And so do we.
9. Pukaarta Chala Hoon Main from Mere Sanam (1965). Vocals by Mohammad Rafi, music by O. P. Nayyar, and lyrics by Majrooh Sultanpuri. Need one say more?
8. Yeh Dil Na Hota Bechaara from Jewel Thief (1967). Dev Anand in a song I have yet to tire of. There's something about his courtship ethic (especially in the black and white films I've seen) that makes me think it has the right mix of respect, mischief, and class. And to add to it all, blue shoes! Kishore Kumar does the singing honors, with music by S. D. Burman and lyrics by Majrooh Sultanpuri.
7. Hum Hain Raahi Pyaar Ke from Nau Do Gyarah (1957) as in Dil Hai Ke Maanta Nahin (1991), in which the realization of love is structured around a car. The original song stars Dev Anand driving more of a truck, but I love how it starts out -- "Teesri baar meri motor ko gaali di, toh khoon ho jaayega" (If you curse at my vehicle a third time, there will be murder -- talk about humble aggression!).
6. Dil Chahta Hai from Dil Chahta Hai (2001). Simple but effective (and very personalized, but that story doesn't belong here). Vocals by Shankar Mahadevan, from the debut album of Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. What say?
5. Kahin Na Kahin Dil Lagaana Padega from Kashmir Ki Kali (1964). Not only do Shammi Kapoor and I share a passion for driving, we also have similar tastes when it comes to picking a car to drive around in. This song is perfect for what it is, from a fantastic film. Mohammad Rafi in fine form (is he ever not?), music by O. P. Nayyar, and lyrics by S. H. Bihari. And of course, a car that would end up by Champa! What's not to love about it? (Oh, and Lagaan in the title! Okay, okay, bad joke, I know ;)
4. Aaye Ho Meri Zindagi Mein from Raja Hindustani (1995) is a great car song. A cab driver and his 'Madam Memsaab', and a Kunal Khemu clapping away as if to create a qawwali-like atmosphere (which the song does carry) in a moving vehicle. Its music (Nadeem-Shravan) is among the best of the decade, the chemistry between Aamir Khan and Karisma Kapoor, and sung by the voice of Aamir Udit Narayan...stuff of legends.
3. From the film that had the word 'car' in its title -- Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi (1958) -- is Babu Samjho Ishaare. The song features lovely Bombay, three great comedians, and a car named Champion and with a swagger.
2. Chahe Koi Khush Ho from Taxi Driver (1954). Another Dev Anand song by Kishore and with music by S. D. Burman, this song tailored to car lovers' interests had lyrics by Sahir Ludhianvi, and some vocals by all time favorite comedian Johnny Walker!
1. Paathshala - Be a Rebel from Rang De Basanti (2006). With music by A. R. Rahman, lyrics by Prasoon Joshi, and vocals by Aslam, Blaaze, and Naresh Iyer, this (and especially its sister song -- Masti ki Paathshala) is likely the college favorite and party track of the decade. It is also an extremely well executed car song, the symbolism beautiful and its significance well beyond that of the rest.
Honorable mention to two songs that will forever be remembered for their picturizations: Kaise Mujhe from Ghajini (2008), and Yeh Dil Deewaana from Pardes (1997). Both had strong but temporary presence afforded to cars. Oh, and honorable mention to scenes set in cars! On my wish list is more car songs in which the women are driving!
All right. I'm sure I've missed a ton of really good songs. How about you share some of your favorites?
PS: Thank you random driver in Los Angeles with a sticker attached to your car reading "No Fear", serving up a welcome reminder for this post. You, my friend, haven't driven fast enough! (But within the limits prescribed by law, of course. I'm talking about here.)

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is implementing tougher penalties for violations of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.
Before the passage of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, civil monetary penalties could total $100 per violation and a maximum aggregate penalty of $25,000 per year for each violation. Typically, civil penalties were only applied in egregious cases; however, as part of the HITECH Act, the final rule increases fines for civil penalties and now includes a tiered penalty structure in line with the nature and circumstances of the violation.
As part of the final rule, the maximum penalty for a HIPAA violation comes to $1.5 million while the assessed penalty relates to the level of culpability characterizing the violation. This includes:
- When the covered entity or business associate is unaware of the violation and would not have known of the violation by exercising reasonable due diligence, a civil penalty of $100 to $50,000 per violation could be distributed.
- If reasonable cause leads to a violation, the civil penalty could come to $1,000 to $50,000 for each violation.
- Following a violation of willful neglect that has been corrected within 30 days of discovery, a civil penalty could total $10,000 to $50,000 per violation.
- For a violation of willful neglect that was not correctly addressed within the required time frame, the civil penalty could be $50,000 to $1.5 million per violation.
If multiple HIPAA violations occur, penalties could surpass $1.5 million.
The final rule also gives affirmative defense for all tier-one violations, defined as unknowable violations, as well as tier-two violations, which are of reasonable cause, when corrected within 30 days of the date after the violation becomes known. Depending upon the nature and extent of the covered entity or business associate's failure to comply, some discretion is allowed to span past the 30-day time frame.
Under the final rule, HHS also does not have to try to informally settle complaints. HHS now can determine whether it will attempt to do so or begin the formal penalty assessment process immediately. HHS can share information found during all investigations and compliance reviews with other law enforcement agencies.
For HIPAA violations by self-funded group health plans, the final rule allows civil penalties to be applied against a covered entity by a business associate acting as its agent. When evaluating the existence of an agency relationship, HHS can practice federal common law principles over a covered entity's right or authority to control a business associate when deciding whether the business associate is acting as an agent.

House Republicans are discussing the prospect of a short-term extension in the nation's debt limit to avoid fault and give negotiations between lawmakers and the White House more time to succeed.
Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, the House Budget Committee chairman and erstwhile GOP vice presidential candidate, told reporters at House Republicans' retreat that members were "discussing the virtue of a short term debt limit extension."
Ryan elaborated that the idea would be to raise the nation's borrowing authority for a few months and tie the matter into discussions with the White House and Senate on the other fiscal issues facing the country, such as the automatic spending cuts associated with the sequester and how to fund the government in the next fiscal year.
The comment is a significant development because it suggests there is movement in the House GOP Conference to avoid the debt limit when it's scheduled to hit in February, and instead shift the political battle in their favor by transforming the debate into a fight over shutting down the government or offsetting $110 billion dollars in cuts to defense and domestic programs.
When asked by NBC News whether he believed the House GOP Conference was unified enough to not have a repeat of the fiscal cliff fiasco, when many Republican lawmakers were reluctant to support plans by the GOP leadership, Ryan said, "We want people to have clear view of what's coming so there are no surprises, that means setting expectations accordingly so we can move forward in a unified basis."
Ryan spent the morning with House Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp, R-Mich., briefing members about the upcoming "triple threat" of fiscal issues to be played out in Washington over the late winter and spring. GOP aides tell NBC News the talks are part of an effort by the Republican leadership to gauge the mood of the conference as well as map out the best possible path for the party in the next few months, so far they consider the response from members to be "positive."
The retreat is the House GOP's annual occasion for members to talk to leadership, relax with their spouses and kids and also learn from communication professionals about to contour their message to fit the electorate. In light of the drubbing the GOP received amongst women and minorities in the 2012 election, the retreat will feature a seminar titled: "Coalitions-Discussion on Successful Communication with Minorities and Women."

Factory Authorized Air Conditioning Installation in Mongo, Indiana | A/C Replacement
Due to how much use your air conditioning system gets, it can sometimes break down and require repair. However, there are other times when replacing your air conditioning might actually make more sense. Contact our Mongo air conditioning replacement experts if you've been having more frequent air conditioning repairs. Here are a few of the signs that your AC might be on its last leg and in need of replacement.
- Age of your air conditioning unit – If your air conditioning system is over ten years old, and has started to require frequent repairs, you may want to start thinking about the possibility of replacing your AC. Today's air conditioners are highly efficient and could provide significant energy savings in the long-term.
- Frequent repair – No matter how old your air conditioning system is, if your AC unit needs to be repaired frequently it could mean that your system is bad and needs to be replaced. Contact our Mongo air conditioning replacement experts if you have any concerns.
- More energy usage – If you notice a large spike in your energy bills with no corresponding increase in usage, there is probably something wrong with your AC system. When your air conditioning system starts to use more power, it means that it's working harder to cool your home. While repair can be an option in some cases, system replacement may be preferable in others.

With all these choices of baby monitors out in the current market, it has become increasingly difficult to select one that will suit your requirements. Given the amount of options that one has in terms of brands for baby monitors, fortunately there are quite a few stand outs. Throughout time, there has been one consistent player on the field, knocking down the rest and continuing to emerge as the best-selling baby monitor of all time.
Here's a list of reasons why Infant Optics DXR-8 stays on top of the game.
Before we get on with it, in case you prefer watching a video, here is one below. You'll get much more comprehensive information from the article, but if you're in a rush, you can check out the video instead.
Features of Infant Optics DXR-8 Infant Optics Dxr-8 Video Baby Monitor With Interchangeable Optical Lens
1. Maximum Security: No Prying Ears and Eyes
In 2018, the world of parents was shaken when a mother allegedly heard a strange man's voice over her baby monitor, saying expletives and threatening to kidnap her child. More cases were revealed afterward up to 2019, when a child from another household recounted an unknown voice saying, "I love you" through the speaker. It was noticed that all the devices in the cases all relied upon an Internet connection to operate.
Imagine buying an item that is supposed to give you peace of mind, but ends up making you feel more vulnerable. It's a natural reaction to become more wary and discerning of the products we purchase for our homes and families.
Kinds of Technology
With regard to baby monitors, this is the number 1 reason why, despite the many, more advanced gadgets now available, people still trust Infant Optics DXR-8 to give the best security, being a non-connected, local-only device. Not only does it use Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technology, which makes it extremely hard for hackers to trace the monitor's signal, in addition, it uses Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS), which avoids interference. In addition to that, they also added a built-in encryption, to truly deter any potential pesky intruders. Infant Optics DXR-8 maintains a 100% hack-free standing, solidifying its place as the all-time best-selling baby monitor in the market.
2. Quick Setup: No Brainer Directions
Plug-and-play can be used to describe the Infant Optics DXR-8 as pretty much the assembly necessary for external parts are limited to batteries, charger cables, and other lenses. The kit provides a user manual, in addition to a quick start guide that even has a section devoted to troubleshooting. Once powered on, the camera and monitor units automatically sync together, saving you time and effort from the usual configurations that many modern gadgets need.

3. Variety of Interchangeable Lenses: Find the Best Angle for You
The package includes an aluminum lens that's ideal for your basic needs. Majority of parents will be satisfied with this lens for viewing their baby in the crib as it, Supplies colored images in the daylight, and clear night vision in the dark, Infant Optics Dxr-8 Video Baby Monitor With Interchangeable Optical Lens
A telephoto lens can be purchased separately, for parents that want to have the ability to take a closer look at smaller details. Is that a rash forming on my child's leg? What's that in my baby's mouth? Those are some of the items you can inspect with this lens that can go up to 2x closer with its optical zoom.
The wide-angle lens gives a wider view of a space, which is ideal for children that may now move more freely. Keep tabs with what they're doing at any moment without interrupting their creative, solitary play. Even when your kids are bigger, this lens can be used as a general safety camera for rooms around the house.
4. Expandable up to 4 Cameras: Grows with the Needs of Your Family
Removing the need to buy a new baby monitor for every addition to the household, the Infant Optics DXR-8 is expandable up to 4 cameras. You can switch views with the touch of a button. As stated earlier, this feature makes the baby monitor more versatile, in the sense that it could be utilised as a general security system in the future.
5. Dependable Battery Life and Capacity — up to 15.5 Hours
Though Infant Optics has promised up to 12 hours of battery life, on a mixed viewing and power-saving mode, the monitor unit has been proven to last up to 15.5 hours on a single charge. Additionally, being a Li-ion battery means its life span is much longer than those of NiMH cells, used in a number of other baby monitor brands. The device also enables battery replacements, which is unavailable in other products — requiring a replacement of the whole baby monitor once the battery eventually gives out.
6. Quality Audio and Video: All You Need at a Glance
While it can not be denied that some baby monitors now have HD resolutions that deliver much sharper images, Infant Optics DXR-8's audio and video are still excellent for what it promises. You can see all of your child's expressions and activity during the day, and observe movements at night.
It relays sounds clearly, even at the lowest volume setting. Additionally, it comes with a sound detector for when the baby starts to cry loudly, and it flashes lights on the monitor to alert the parent (particularly those who are hard of hearing).

a. Well-designed Screen Monitor
The monitor's display unit is light, at 5.38 ounces, and the screen size at 3.5 inches is comparable to smaller smart phones — more than enough space to find out what your baby is up to. Being able to withstand several tumbles with no negative effects, It gives a feeling of sturdiness, even though it fits easily in one's hand.
The viewing screen is also easy to navigate, offering tons of options with just a few buttons to pick from: On, Menu, Shortcut, Talk, and 4 directional arrows. Any parent would love it as it boasts an uncluttered and easy interface.
b. Tilt and Pan
One of the greatest features of the Infant Optics DXR-8 monitor is its capability to remotely tilt and pan the camera device from its display unit. If you realize that your baby has moved slightly off your view, you can attempt to correct the angle from where you are without having to scamper to the other room by choosing to pan left, right, up, or down.
c. Clear Night Vision with Automatic Low-light Detection
Many other baby monitors will need to be manually changed to night mode, but not with Infant Optics DXR-8's low-light detection. Once in this mode, its low light sensor activates the infrared lights from 8 invisible IR LED lights. Simply put: dark stays dark, and the infant's sleep is in no danger of being upset; but your baby will be displayed as clear as day from the viewing screen. The camera can surprisingly display color Provided that the camera is setup within 15 feet of your infant during the evening. For years, the DXR-8's night vision camera has been crowned among the best.
d. Temperature Indication
With risks correlated to temperature changes, like sudden infant death (SID), it is particularly valuable to have a temperature sensor in a baby monitor. Infant Optics DXR-8's reading can be in Celsius of Fahrenheit, and are displayed on the top right corner of the viewing screen. Should it sense an extreme rise or drop in temperature, it will signal too low (LL) or too high (HH) on the display as well.

7. Uninterrupted Feed: Stable Local Connection
Given the camera and viewing screens are connected via radio frequencies rather than through the Internet, drops and reconnections are less likely events. Wondering whether you are still getting an updated feed or not is another thing to be concerned about, but the stable and secure linking of the Infant Optics DXR-8's end to end linking alleviates that concern.

Tim Johnson, 30, says he wanted to do a better job of organizing his family's finances.
"I just wanted to see how much money we had. I have a Roth IRA and some investments from my grandparents. My wife and I both have 401(k) from our jobs. My wife has a substantial amount of 401(k) from her previous job, as well."
Tired of the paper clutter, Johnson went out and purchased a version Intuit's Quicken for around $50.
"It was a little expensive but it helped us gain a better perspective of our finances," Johnson said.
With the economy in its current funk, more people are turning to online money management tools. Free financial software sites such as Mint, Moneycenter and Wesabe are enjoying an increase in users.
Mint's founder and CEO, Aaron Patzer, says more than 625,000 people currently use his budgeting and money management site.
The biggest obstacle for these free financial sites is assuring users that their information is safe and secure.
"I've heard a little bit about free financial software options, but I like knowing our information is safely stored on my computer at home," Johnson said.
Are They Safe?
"There will always be an opportunity -- whether from the inside or the outside -- for a hacker to get in," says Robert Siciliano, a consultant to Intelius.com, a Web site that protects consumers from identity theft.
Before entering any sensitive information onto a site, Siciliano says consumers should understand each site's policies in the event there is a breach.
"It's important to know who ultimately is responsible for any security failures and what their policy for retribution is," he said.
On Mint, you never share your name or Social Security number. Also, there is an option that will send a text message if there is an expensive purchase made on your credit card.
"If anything, Mint will help you keep an eye on suspicious activity," Patzer said.
Patzer said that even in the event your account is accessed by someone else, the amount of damage they could inflict is minimal.
"You can't move money from account to account on Mint, so they wouldn't be able to do much," Patzer said.
Siciliano said financial sites -- whether they are free or not -- are required to have the software and encryption methods to protect users.
"As a consumer, I would try my best to understand their revenue model and how they are paying for all that security," he said.
Free And Accessible
Besides being free, Patzer said, the best thing about his site, "is that allows you set a budget.
Moneycenter and Mint both allow users to create categories and subcategories for budgeting. Because all of your bills can be computed, users can set goals and the system will offer ways to help attain them.
One of the best features online financial sites offer is accessibility. With an Internet connection and a browser -- or sometimes just a mobile phone -- you can access all of your financial data.
Help With Taxes
With all your financial information in one place, filing your taxes is a whole lot easier.
"If you're traveling to New York for business, Mint allows you print off all your business-related expenses, Patzer said.
Because each site has their financial tools available online, there's no downloading or software you have to deal with. You'll always be dealing with their most updated version.
If you upload your credit card information into Mint.com's system, it will calculate the amount of interest you're paying and notify you if could save money with another credit card.
This is also how Mint pays for its services. But Patzer said the system will give you the best rates results regardless of sponsorship.
Mint allows users to set their retirement goals and offers tools to help them reach it.
"It's sort of an automatic financial advisor," Patzer said.

Again, one must make reference to Awakened Ones according to the historical Buddha's teachings, and only then can one claim those results are capable of being consequents via other teachings. There goes the flagpole.Dan74 wrote:First, the origin. My knowledge of the Lotus is quite sketchy, but it is a compendium of different teachings with different origins, right? Are they outright inventions, poetic works of the disciples? Are they wisdom of realized noble ones? Are they received wisdom generations after generations that purportedly had origins in Shakyamunivacana before written down? A mix of all of the above and more? I don't know.
Unfortunate.What I do know is that Buddhadhamma would indeed be a strange teaching if it said 'only listen to the Nikayas. Even though this Dhamma leads to liberation, whomsoever attains liberation, he or she should not teach, nor should you follow his or her teachings. And what is more, his or her teachings will always be inferior to my teachings.'
The underlined aspect is nowhere in the Nikayas - another example of ignoring them when Mahayana tenets are afoot. Buddha-Nature is yet another example.Dan74 wrote:As far as I discern the teachings I had received in Mahayana and the teachings I have read and heard in Theravada, have one goal - liberation of all sentient beings from greed, hatred and delusion.
If you aren't skewered on horns such as these, I am at an utter loss. The experience of cognitive dissonance and ad hoc rationalization as a result of trying to hold these ideas in mind at the same time is unavoidable in my case.

A Classic Example That Off-The-End Iterators Can Simplify
In his superb book A Discipline of Programming, Edsger Dijkstra discusses what he calls "the problem of the Dutch national flag." Like the American flag, the Dutch flag is red, white, and blue, but the colors are arranged much more simply than they are in the American flag, namely in three broad horizontal stripes.
He describes a programming problem: We have a sequence of
N buckets, each of which contains a pebble that is either red, white, or blue. The goal is to rearrange the pebbles by a series of swaps so that
- All the red pebbles occur before all the white pebbles, which occur before all the blue pebbles.
- We never look at the color of an individual pebble more than once.
- We do not store any variable-length information outside the sequence of buckets itself.
Of course, the program is expected to work correctly even if one or more of the three colors is completely absent from the sequence.
Please take a few minutes and sketch out your own solution to this problem before reading on.
Dijkstra's strategy is to divide the sequence into four consecutive subsequences, described here in arbitrary order:
- Buckets that are known to contain a red pebble
- Buckets that are known to contain a white pebble
- Buckets that are known to contain a blue pebble
- Buckets that contain a pebble of (as yet) unknown color
Initially, the fourth of these subsequences fills the entire sequence; the program will shrink that fourth subsequence to nothing, leaving the other three subsequences to fill the sequence.
He begins by thinking about the order in which to arrange the subsequences. Because the final arrangement begins with red and ends with blue, he argues that the arrangement must begin with 1 and end with 3. The point is that whatever argument you make in favor of beginning with 1 can also be made in favor of ending with 3. Perforce, sequences 2 and 4 must fill the interior, and because of symmetry, the order does not matter. He therefore chooses to order them as 1, 4, 2, 3.
Like most of the programming languages in widespread use at the time, Dijkstra counts sequences starting from 1. He keeps track of the extent of the four sequences with the following integer variables:
rhas a value such that if 1 < k <
r, bucket k contains a red pebble.
whas a value such that if
r<= k <=
w, bucket k has not yet been examined.
bhas a value such that if
w< k <=
b, bucket k contains a white pebble, and if
b< k <=
N, bucket k contains a blue pebble.
Dijkstra's program starts by setting
r to 1 and
w and
b to
N, thereby establishing the initial condition that the "unknown color" subsequence fills the entire sequence and the other three subsequences are empty. The program's goal is to reduce the "unknown color" subsequence to nothing, a state of affairs that is indicated when
r > w. Accordingly, the program looks like this:
while (r <= w) { Examine bucket w. If the pebble in that bucket is Red: Swap buckets r and w, increment r. White: Decrement w. Blue: Swap buckets w and b, decrement w and b. }
To see how this code works, think about what happens when bucket
w contains a red pebble. This bucket is at the end of the unknown region, and all the buckets to the left of the unknown region are red. Therefore, by swapping the buckets at the beginning and end of the unknown region (i.e., buckets
r and
w), we can put this newly discovered red pebble adjacent to the red pebbles that we had previously discovered. In doing so, we shrink the unknown region by one. That one is the bucket on the left side of the unknown region, which is no longer unknown; so we reflect the shrinkage by incrementing
r. You can apply similar reasoning yourself to understand the other two cases.
Dijkstra's program is careful to avoid ever using index values greater than
N, a strategy that is conceptually equivalent to never using off-the-end iterators. He does this in part by defining
r and
w as the first and last indices of the unknown region, rather than one before the first or one after the last element of the region. This strategy ensures that if the sequence has any elements at all,
r and
w are always the indices of actual elements.
Dijkstra does not use < and <= uniformly in describing the subsequences of buckets: The red pebbles start at 1 and end just before
r, the white ones start just after
w and end at
b, and the blue ones start just after

N. I believe that by keeping the strategy the same, but describing the ranges more consistently, the resulting program is easier to understand.
I shall describe the revised program next week. Between now and then, you may wish to construct it for yourself.

What Did Cinderella Do When She Got to the Ball? …Angels Swept by the Rays
Which is the most heartbreaking, the win you were never going to get from inning one, the win you almost had all game long, or the near comeback you give right back to the opposing team? Okay, so they're all pretty bad. And I don't know what a player might say. But, for my money, Wednesday's choked comeback felt pretty terrible. Leaving the game with a throat sore from cheering, yet choked up with loss and disappointment? Granted, any night at the ballpark is a good night but…well…it took me until this evening to post about it. Enough said.
B.J. Upton caught stealing. Howie Kendrick looks pleased in the aftermath and Upton prepares to dust himself off and head for the dugout. Fielding was hit and miss this evening, but there were a few serious highlights. For example, Jered Weaver picking off B.J. Upton at 2nd. Weaver is a 6′ 7″ cross body pitcher. His pickoff move is, understandably, okay but not phenomenal. But every now and then, You're out!
Vernon Wells dives back to first. Wells was 0-3 with this one walk to get on base. My until now infinite patience is wearing pretty thin at this point and continues only because he just got back from the DL. I won't boo the man, because I don't boo my own team. Can't do it. But come on Vernon. Have you ever hit this badly in your life? Figure it out and get it done.
Peter Bourjos bunts his way on. Bourjos, on the other hand, had a great game. Fleet Pete was 2 for 4 at the plate, including this sacrifice bunt turned hit and had two highlight reel catches in center.
The Angels bullpen. Hisanori Takahashi, Fernando Rodney and Jordan Walden hang out with the bullpen catcher and other staff early in the game.
The Rays Bullpen. Hey, equal time and all that. Besides, I was hoping to catch them at some of their famously funny shenanigans but, apparently, they are on their best, or at least, their least prank-ish behavior in visitor's dugouts.
Angels meeting on the mound. Jered Weaver asks, So, if I hold them for another inning or two do you think you guys can actually score me some runs? I'm totally kidding, of course. From everything I've heard, I can't imagine him copping an attitude like that, but it's certainly what I, as a fan, was wondering. This was not Weaver's best outing. Three of the four earned runs were his. But, given a present offense, he did pitch well enough to win.
Scott Downs warms up in the bullpen. Scott Downs had another solid outing, coming in to strike out Matt Joyce in the 8th and end the inning. In fact, I wish we'd brought him back in the 9th as I shall explain in a moment.
Howie Kendrick and Mark Trumbo chat during the pitching change. As usual, I can't help putting my own spin on what they might be saying. Hey, Trumbo. See that second base there behind me? We've got to figure out a way to get our guys past that.
Alberto Callaspo and Maicer Izturis also chat during the pitching change. "Now you see Alberto, when the ball is coming at you, you're supposed to try and keep it from going into the outfield." "Keep talking Izzy. What exactly was that you did at short in the 2nd?" As previously mentioned, our fielding left something to be desired this game. Though both are Izturis and Callaspo are usually more than dependable, neither had a very good game defensively.
Joe Maddon says good game and takes the ball from James Shields. Seriously, I can say it. Hats off to Shields. He pitched a hell of a game and was certainly a factor in our offensive woes.
Bobby Abreu hits a bases clearing double. Maicer started the 8th inning rally. Torii Hunter, batting in the 2 spot for the first time this season, continued it. Callaspo walked to load the bases. And then, Bobby Abreu, batting clean-up, became the Angels sole offensive highlight of game. With one ringing double, he cleared the bases and tied the game 3 to 3.
Closer Jordan Walden takes the mound. Hey, I finally managed to catch him mid-pitch without his arm blurred – no mean feat, really. Walden also pitched well. But, once Bobby tied up the game, I wish we'd brought Downs back out in the 9th and saved Walden for the 10th or brought Walden back out in the 10th because the minute I saw Fernando Rodney striding out to the mound in the 10th, I has a Star Wars worthy bad feeling about this…
…Why, why, why did we turn the game over to Rodney in the 10th? Because he's been really clutch for us in crucial situations this season? Because he rarely walks batters and if he does start walking them he never, ever gets rattled by it? Because he's still our #1 closer? Because he's so…no…can't type…any…more…must stop…laughing…hysterical laughter… Okay. I'm better now. You all saw the "highlight" reels, I'm sure. You know what happened in the 10th. Did Rodney lose the game all by himself? Of course not. Our offense bears at least half of the blame. We hit the ball but failed to score until the 8th inning. Even with runners at 2nd and 3rd with no outs in the 2nd. Even with runners on 1st and 2nd with no outs in the 5th.
Besides, I blame the guy who decided to put Rodney in more than Rodney. Rodney just did what he's been doing more often than not all year. The guy who decided to put him in on the other hand…anyway. Suffice to say, by the time it was over I sympathized with the over-tired toddlers who were sobbing on their way out of the stadium. I'm pretty far from giving up still but, seriously, tantrums are wasted on the young.

Nick Cave takes #1 in the Mojo 40 Best Albums of '04!
40 Best Albums of '04
#1 - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Abbatoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus
MOJO writers' records(s) of the year celebrated by Sylvie Simmons
"THE WORK," Cave told MOJO, "of a genius." Though his tongue was presumably no too many miles from his cheek, he was spot on. This was his big one. A personal milestone in a more than quarter-century recording history. And the return of the Great Double Album- a long-lost creature last seen around the time Cave swapped Birthday Party for Bad Seeds 13 albums ago.
With CDs offering a berth for 70 minutes of music, it's rare these days for an act to stick its neck out and offer a double- unless they're out of their heads (OutKast), bent on commercial suicide (Wilco), incapable of editing themselves, or all of the above. But Cave decided he needed two discs for his sweeping 80-minute treatise on Love, Lust, History, Humanity, Myth, Apocalypse, Panties, God, Rock n' Roll- the capital letter stuff that's been his lifelong obsession- and he was right. A mating pair, spiritual and secular, squally and sweet. Dealing lightly with weighty themes, weightily with light ones.
With the help of the Bad Seeds (bar Blixa Bargeld), Birthday Party producer Nick Launay, a London gospel choir and a Paris studio, Cave dug first into rock's blues-gospel roots then deeper, past Australia, right down into the Underworld in pursuit of the urrockstar of Greek myth, Orpheus, whose lyre-playing charmed the trees, rocks and even the dead. The result, among many excellent things, was a title track as picaresque and side-splitting as his greatest OTT narratives: O'Malley's Bar from his Murder Ballads record or John Finn's Wife from Henry's Dream.
The focus and authority needed to pull off a work this audacious is something you get form the great artists, particularly as they age. Although three years off 50, Cave seemed somehow too boyish to join that canon, preferring the role of admirer and emulator- Leonard Cohen and Neil Young tributes; singing harmonies with Johnny Cash; writing songs for Marianne Faithfull. But on Abbatoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus, Cave a Prospero on his own Stygian island, has been guaranteed a spot up there with the big boys.
SPEECH! Nick Cave says, Thank You!
"WOW, I'VE arrived! That's great, right? I haven't heard the other albums, but I suspect ours deserves to be Number 1. I've always liked MOJO –it's a music magazine- so there's some kind of meaning in that. I don't mind awards, it's the ceremonies- having to sit there. There's nothing more agonizing for me than having to do that. Not that I've done it. At the thought of having to do something like that, it's just much easier to say no.
"With this album, we knew early on that we had really good songs. We'd had this songwriting thing where me and Warren [Ellis, viola[ and Marty[Casey, bassist] and Jim[Sklavunos, drums] had all gotten together to write in Paris, which was helpful. And there were a whole lot of different things happening within the group that made the recording process somehow very cathartic, and a real pleasure at the same time.
"Blixa[Bargeld, guitarist] was no longer in the group. As much as it was very sad for him to go, it was also an enormously freeing thing. James [Johnston, keyboards] had come in really fresh, and dying for the job. It changed the whole chemistry of the band, and allowed us to play a certain type of music that we would've had problems playing in the past, which was some basic rock 'n' roll music. It just opened things up, allowed us to let go." -As told by Andrew Perry

This DOP Spanish blue cheese is often sold as Cabrales in the United States because its flavor is similar to that bold blue, but is slightly tamer. It, therefore, appeals to a wider range of palates. The cheese is wrapped in chestnut leaves before being sent to market. The cheese has a very intense blue flavor, but is not as yellowed or as biting as true Cabrales. Delicious with fresh fruit, cured or smoked meats, or melted over steak, Valdeón pairs well with strong red wines, a robust Rioja or Sherry.
Crowned "Best Blue Cheese" in Spain's 2003 national competition.

By Pure Matters
If you're embarking on the journey to lose weight the healthy way, the first crucial step is making sure your pantry and fridge are well-stocked for success.
As one of the creators of the Gold Plan, the comprehensive fitness and meal plan that supplements Pure Matters' new all-natural weight management formula, FucoGold, I know firsthand from my clients that without having the right kinds of food on-hand, binge eating or hunger pangs are more likely to happen.
So I've outlined the go-to foods I always keep in my pantry and fridge–and here's a handy printer-friendly cheat sheet to keep on your fridge or take with you while food shopping. Replace junk food with these staples and try some of my tips for choosing healthier options at the grocery store.
Fill your fridge with the colors of the rainbow. You really can't go wrong with any fresh fruits or vegetables, just make sure that you choose a variety of these nutrient-rich plant foods daily and make them a part of every meal and snack. Some of my top superfood picks include: spinach, sweet potatoes, apples, berries, kale, oranges, tomatoes, avocado, mushrooms, carrots, broccoli and squash. While it's fine to stock up on your favorites, consider trying a new food from the produce section every week. Not only will you improve your nutrient intake this way, but you'll expand your taste buds too!
Whole grains should get first dibs in your pantry to help maximize your weight loss efforts. Researchers have shown that women who eat more whole grains consistently weigh less than those who eat less of these fiber-rich foods. The great thing about whole grains is they can last a long time in your pantry, so stock up. Be sure you choose "whole" rather than refined grains, and avoid the processed versions, which typically have much of the nutrition stripped away–not to mention added salt, sugar, and preservatives. Think rolled oats, brown and wild rice, quinoa, ready-to-eat high-fiber cereals, and 100% whole grain breads and pasta.
Make protein packed foods a kitchen staple. Fill your fridge and pantry with poultry, fish, shellfish (e.g., shrimp and scallops), eggs, non-fat milk and greek yogurt, low-fat cheese, soymilk, tofu, beans and lentils (dried and/or canned), nuts/seeds, and nut butters. If you include protein-rich foods as a part of every meal and snack you will stay satisfied, eat less, and lose weight faster than if you skimped on the protein.
It's easy to sabotage your weight loss efforts if you aren't careful with your fat intake. Fat is one of those tricky components of any weight loss endeavor because it contains more calories per gram than protein and carbs. In other words, a little fat goes a long way. First off, don't buy the fat-laden sweets and snacks like pastries, chips, processed meats (e.g., bacon, sausage, and hot dogs), butter and full-fat dairy (e.g., whole milk, ice cream). If they aren't in your house, you are less likely to eat them. Instead choose healthy fats from foods like salmon and tuna (fresh and canned in water), nuts/seeds, nut butters, avocado, and olive oil. Importantly, eating fewer saturated fats and choosing more unsaturated and essential fats can shift your body's fat-burning mechanisms into high gear.
Beverages can make or break your weight loss efforts. If you're drinking sodas, Frappuccinos, lattes, and sweetened juice or energy drinks everyday, you could easily add more than 20 pounds to your body weight every year–from these liquids alone. Even if you're exercising on a regular basis, consuming these high-calorie beverages means you'll have to work extra hard to burn off these empty calories. Stick primarily to water, but mix it up with green tea and coffee (sweetened with a natural, no-calorie sweetener such as stevia if desired), non-fat milk or soymilk. For a special treat, try seltzer water with a splash of 100% fruit juice and a lemon, lime, or orange slice for extra zing.
Wondering if you should forever avoid the snack aisle? Of course not! While processed snack foods can easily increase your daily calorie intake, if you are careful with portion sizes and make wise choices, then indulging in a healthy treat makes sense. Think 100 percent fruit sorbet, popcorn, trail mix, dried fruit (e.g., raisins, figs, dates), dark chocolate, non-fat frozen yogurt, and high-fiber muffins. Be sure to pair your snack with some produce and/or protein for staying power. For example, an apple and high fiber muffin.
Don't forget about freezer basics. Frozen fruits and vegetables provide a nourishing alternative to fresh produce and can help you prepare a healthy meal or snack when you're in a pinch. Edamame (soybeans in the pod), peas, broccoli, cauliflower and carrots, corn, and veggie stir-fry combos go from the freezer to plate in no time. Berries, pineapple, mango, and peaches are delicious to eat frozen right out of the bag or can be added to your favorite smoothie recipe.
Having the right condiments and seasonings on hand can help you prepare tasty and healthy meals without added fat and sodium. Be sure to stock your pantry with low-sodium chicken and vegetable broth, claim juice, canned tomatoes and tomato paste, marinara sauce (no sugar added), light coconut milk (for soups and curries), low-sodium soy sauce, dijon mustard dry white wine, balsamic vinegar, fresh garlic and ginger, and a variety of dried herbs and spices (e.g., Italian blend, curry powder, chili powder, red pepper, black pepper, no-salt/no-MSG mixed herb seasoning).
